Chapter 99: Hiding a knife in a smile
As the saying goes, "only out of Longtan, and into the tiger's den." "Zhao Baihe, Fu Tianpeng, and Zhao Xueqing fought against the master of Wuji Gate to exterminate Wuji Gate and remove a major scourge for the martial arts. However, the victory came at a high cost. After Zhao Baihe suffered serious internal injuries, Fu Tianpeng was also damaged in the battle against the Ouchi guards. Now only Zhao Xueqing is left, safe and sound. Facing the vengeful remnants of the Wuji Gate and the reluctant Ouchi guards, the three of them could only choose to escape in seclusion for now, avoid the pursuit for the time being, and return to Yue Fei's camp after they recovered from their injuries.
After some discussion, Zhao Baihe told Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing that his goal with them was too big, and it was easy to expose his hiding, and now Baihemen might also be attacked by the enemy, so it was necessary to go back and find out. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing saw that Zhao Baihe had made up his mind, so it was difficult to continue to persuade him. Fu Tianpeng took off the small porcelain bottle from his waist and handed it to Zhao Baihe, Zhao Baihe took the porcelain bottle and looked at it, it turned out to be a calming qi pill.
Zhao Baihe knew that this medicine had a good effect on internal injuries, so after he poured out two pills, he put one of them in his mouth and used his internal strength to help him heal his injuries. After a while, Zhao Baihe's face gradually appeared ruddy. After he felt a little relieved of his qi and blood, he said to the two: "My current injury is no longer serious, and I can hold on and return to Baihemen." You need to get out of here now, and along the way, it's best to disguise yourself and hide your true identity, lest the enemy come to you for revenge. ”
Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing nodded in agreement, and after Zhao Baihe said goodbye to them, he disappeared into the distance in the afterglow of the residual sun. After Zhao Baihe left, Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, it is already sunk now, and it is no longer suitable to continue on the road." And your wounds need to be healed in peace, so I think we should find a place to live. ”
Previously, because of the fierce battle, life and death were on the front line, and Fu Tianpeng did not feel anything unusual about his body. Now that everything had calmed down, he felt the surging labor pain between his meridians. The master of Wuji Gate made a vicious move, if it weren't for Zhao Baihe to contend with him, Fu Tianpeng would probably be in danger of his life. However, after being hit by his palm, he was not able to recover with a snap of his fingers. If the internal injuries are not recuperated, then once the pursuers suddenly arrive, the consequences are unimaginable. Thinking of this, Fu Tianpeng also took a calming qi pill, and after a short period of luck to heal his injuries, he hurriedly left with Zhao Xueqing.
The two traveled in the southeast direction, and after walking for more than ten miles, they gradually walked into a sheep intestine path. The trail is gravel-strewn and the trail leads to the foot of the lush mountains.
After the night opened, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing walked briskly on the sheep intestine path under the light of the bright moon and bright stars. Walking and walking, the light and shadow in front of him suddenly shook. Zhao Xueqing's delicate face was full of smiles, she raised her hand and pointed forward, telling Fu Tianpeng that there must be a village ahead.
When Fu Tianpeng heard this, the pain on his body immediately decreased. He replied in a deep and powerful voice, "Sister Qing, this is great. When I have a place to rest, I can recuperate my heart and feel at ease. ”
The two of them quickened their pace and went down the slope. When they arrived at a small courtyard in Chaimen, Zhao Xueqing knocked lightly on the door. Soon, an old man on crutches and hunched over came out. After the old man opened the firewood door, he looked at Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing. His sunken eye sockets and round eyes shot out two sharp rays of light. After Fu Tianpeng looked at him, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
However, the deadlock was quickly broken, and the old man smiled at the two first. Fu Tianpeng hugged his fist at the old man and saluted. Before he could speak, the old man turned sideways and made way of the way. Then the old man said to Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing: "This black light is blind, the two of you must have missed the time to throw in the stack when you came to a remote deserted village." My hut is simple, and you will stay overnight, and then you will leave tomorrow morning. ”
Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing saw that after the old man knew his intention, they were no longer polite. The two followed the old man straight into the house. The old man set up a table and set up a stool, and after scalding a pot of hot wine, he said to Fu Tianpeng: "Young man, you wait for me for a while, and wait for me to go out and get some mountain food and wild mushrooms." ”
After Fu Tianpeng thanked the old man, the old man twisted his silver beard and smiled, then turned around and went out. At this time, Fu Tianpeng only cared about taking hot wine to warm up, and after Zhao Xueqing turned her head to look at the old man's back, a nervous look appeared between her eyebrows.
Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, don't drink first, wait for me to take a look at the terrain here, confirm that there is no danger, and I will have a good drink with you." ”
Fu Tianpeng reminded Zhao Xueqing to be more careful, and after Zhao Xueqing nodded and agreed, she went out with the Chanjuan sword in her hand. She performed light skills and slowly approached the back of the firewood room. I listened to the people inside, muttering quietly. One of them said: "Now that Xiao Gongzi is searching everywhere for the whereabouts of Fu Xiaozi, you have to pay attention." Don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime wealth. ”
The old man then asked, "What once-in-a-lifetime wealth?" ”
The man from before replied, "As long as you catch a boy surnamed Fu, whether you are dead or alive, you will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold." ”
When the old man heard this, a greedy look appeared in his speech and demeanor. He told the other party that now there were two strangers in his house. Although they are not dressed as people in the rivers and lakes, they can come to this remote village late at night, and they think they have practiced martial arts and martial arts. Otherwise, they don't have any tired looks.
After listening to the old man's story, the man asked the old man to stabilize Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing, and then waited for an opportunity to take them down. The old man told the man that he had decided to use his hands and feet in the wine and food, so that he could capture them in one fell swoop.
The man smiled and nodded, and he told the old man to hurry back, so as not to have too many dreams at night and arouse unnecessary suspicion. The old man turned around and was about to leave, but Zhao Xueqing immediately pulled back. After returning to the house, Zhao Xueqing told the old man about the conspiracy with that person. Fu Tianpeng was furious when he heard this, and he pulled out the Bibo Treasure Knife to get rid of the old man.
However, Zhao Xueqing stopped him, and Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, if you rashly make a move with the old man, then it will definitely alarm the person in the firewood room." If he escapes, we will be in a dangerous position. ”
Zhao Xueqing's words made Fu Tianpeng wake up like a dream. He almost paid for his recklessness. In order to achieve the goal of capturing the enemies one by one, Fu Tianpeng began to implement the strategy according to Zhao Xueqing's instructions.
The sound of random footsteps was getting closer and closer, and the two knew that the old man had returned. At this moment, Fu Tianpeng poured wine and said, "Good wine, really good wine." When the old man heard this, the toad's mouth was so happy that he couldn't close it.
When he came in, Fu Tianpeng thanked him again. The old man shook the mountain mushrooms and lion's mane mushrooms in front of Fu Tianpeng, and he asked the two of them to wait for a while, wait for him to fry the vegetables, and then pour them wine.
Fu Tianpeng thanked him and said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, the old man kindly left us here to spend the night, and we can't sit back and enjoy it." You go and help my husband with his work and wash these mushrooms. ”
The old man was about to excuse himself, but Zhao Xueqing had already followed. The old man thought to himself: Hmph, I have already done my best, and now you cook by yourself, so my suspicion will be eliminated. ”
The old man thought as he turned around and went to the stove. Zhao Xueqing took advantage of his unpreparedness and slapped him to death. Then, according to the content of the conspiracy between the person in the firewood room and the old man, she led the people in the firewood room over.
When the people in the firewood house heard the code, they opened the door of the hut. The moment he opened the door, Fu Tianpeng stepped forward, and the steel tongs and iron hands used a style of "ape fruit picking", and immediately twisted the person's arm.
This person's face was shocked, and he hurriedly used a series of mandarin duck kicks and kicked Fu Tianpeng in the chest. Fu Tianpeng fought with his arms, and after grabbing this person's legs, he fell downward, and the person fell to the ground on his back.
When he was about to resist stubbornly, Fu Tianpeng used the Bibo Treasure Knife against his choking throat. Fu Tianpeng said to this person: "Tell me quickly, is the Xiao Gongzi you are talking about Xiao Jianqiu?" ”
After this person heard Fu Tianpeng's question, he immediately laughed and said, "Boy, I can't take you down with my own hands, it's really providence." I don't have anything to say. It's a dream for you to ask for a little bit of news out of my mouth. ”
Zhao Xueqing saw that this person was stubborn, and said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, it's useless to keep this guy. Since he is so not afraid of death, it has fulfilled him. ”
After that, Zhao Xueqing faced the wind with one palm and tried her best to shoot at the top of this person's head. Fu Tianpeng immediately intervened to stop him, and he said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, we haven't got any valuable news, so it's a pity to get rid of him like this." ”
After hearing this, Zhao Xueqing sneered at this person: "If he doesn't speak, it's equivalent to telling us everything." This guy must be a spy sent by the Jin State to carry out a secret mission in the Song Realm. ”
That person must have Zhao Xueqing's words, and looked at her with big eyes like beads. He trembled and said, "You ......, how do you know?" ”
Zhao Xueqing said with a smile: "Xiao Jianqiu betrayed his master and took refuge in the Jin Kingdom, just ask who in the rivers and lakes will obey him." Who can be driven by him, who will be the people who are not from the Kingdom of Jin? ”
That person saw Zhao Xueqing's words and revealed his identity, after he yelled, he spit out a stream of blood with "wow" in his mouth, and immediately died of despair. Zhao Xueqing pulled Fu Tianpeng to the firewood room at this time, and the two found an iron gossip behind the pile of firewood and grass.
Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, look at this gossip. ”
Fu Tianpeng took a closer look at the gossip, and he found that Xun Zhen above was out of position, and the order was reversed. After he rearranged the gossip, a secret door opened in front of the two of them.
