Chapter Twenty-Four: Two Masters
Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Why are you so sure?"
Mo Wulou said in a deep voice: "Old Man Ming has been the head of the Ming family in Jiangnan for decades, and his age should be seventy or eighty years old. However, I followed the person who pretended to be Feng'er, and saw that although the person who answered was covered with a black scarf, his hair was black and his body was vigorous, and he only looked like he was about forty years old, and his age was not right. ”
"Another point is that Old Man Ming has been aiming to defeat Wudang Zhang Sanfeng for many years, and he has been practicing martial arts hard, and his martial arts are only afraid that they are far above me now. But when that man looked at his skills, I felt that he and I were only between the best, and if I fought alone, I was confident that I could be slightly better than him. Therefore, this person is definitely not Old Man Ming himself. ”
"However, I observed from a distance that the person who pretended to be Feng'er had a lot of respect for this person, and I expected that his status in the Jiangnan Ming family must not be low. I was afraid that they would notice that I was following me, and that they would alarm them, and that I would not follow them any further. ”
After the fifth floor of the demon finished speaking, Zhang Fatzi thought about it, and suddenly felt a little frightened: "You mean, in addition to the old man Ming, there are people in the Jiangnan Ming family whose martial arts are comparable to yours?"
Demon Fifth Floor smiled faintly and said, "My martial arts are actually nothing special. Thinking that the Jiangnan Ming family has been lying on salary for many years, and has been planning to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes and dominate the martial arts, they have secretly planned and prepared for many years. With the experience of being besieged by various major factions and being outnumbered, this old man Ming must have started secretly training a group of elites a long time ago, and martial arts like me are afraid that there is far more than this one in the Jiangnan Ming family. ”
Zhang Fatzi was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't believe it in his heart.
The "Magic Knife" Demon Fifth Floor can already shock the rivers and lakes with a knife in his hand, if the Jiangnan Ming family really has a group of such martial arts masters, then their strength really doesn't know how strong it is?
Isn't that easy to sweep the world's major sects?
Mo Wulou saw Zhang Fatzi's expression and knew that he didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't want to explain more, and then said: "Although this trick of the Jiangnan Ming family is yin and damaged, it is indeed a good way to find Feng'er." So I didn't want to alarm them, so I let them jump up and down in front of them, and we just hid in the shadows and watched what happened. ”
Zhang Fatzi secretly said in his heart, it turned out that this demon fifth floor was also the same as the Jiangnan Ming family, and he wanted to find out Ye Feng's whereabouts.
He asked with some curiosity: "How did you know that we didn't know the whereabouts of the fourth child, and we didn't secretly contact each other, so we made an appointment to meet here?"
Mo Wulou snorted coldly: "Since you left the capital, I have been following you in secret, your every move, together with eating, drinking, and Lazar, is all in my eyes, how can I not know if you have any connection with Feng'er?"
Zhang Fatzi was stunned for a moment, and secretly sighed ashamed in his heart, it turned out that although he had been cautious all the way, he was still tracked all the way by the fifth floor of the demon, and he did not notice the abnormality at all.
Fortunately, it is Ye Feng's master on the fifth floor of the demon, if he pursues his Jinyi Wei or some other person with malicious intentions, I am afraid that he will not know how he will die this time.
Just thinking about it, the next sentence of the fifth floor of the demon made him break out in a cold sweat: "In the past few days, I have secretly observed and found that there are many people in Qingping County who are secretly staring at you and that Cheng girl. And Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are several masters among them. ”
Zhang Fatzi was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Who are they? They are also from the Jiangnan Ming family?"
Mo Wulou shook his head and said, "These people don't seem to be all the way, there are several groups of people. A few of them have been eyeing them since you left the capital, and seeing that they are generous along the way, and their skills are also very good, they look like the masters of the palace. ”
Ouchi masters?
Zhang Fatzi's heart couldn't help but sink, look
When he came to the emperor, he really refused to let himself go.
It's just strange that if these Ouchi masters really came to arrest themselves, since they had already discovered themselves, they could have started to arrest them a long time ago, why did they keep secretly following and holding back?
Mo Wulou continued: "There are a few other groups of people, who should have followed that Cheng girl here, and I can't see where they came from for the time being. But if my guess is correct, their purpose should be the same as that of the Jiangnan Ming family, they are all here for Feng'er. ”
Zhang Fatzi was a little anxious in his heart, it seemed that his righteous brother had now become a sought-after baby, and there were really many people who beat him up.
This is quite a bit of Qin lost its deer, and the world is chasing it.
He couldn't help but speak: "So isn't the fourth child's situation very dangerous now?"
Mo Wulou shook his head and said, "I see that their purpose is the same, they don't have any ill will towards Feng'er himself, they just want to find out that mysterious treasure through him, so it's not dangerous." ”
Zhang Fatzi also felt justified when he heard it, nodded again and again, and his heart suddenly felt a lot easier.
It's just that since the master of Ouchi has appeared here, he continues to stay here, I am afraid that not only will he be in danger, but he will also be harmed by the county commander Zhou Delin Zhou, who took him in, and it seems that it is time to prepare to leave.
But now that Jiang Nanming's family has made such a big move here, maybe it can really attract Ye Feng to come here and show up?
If you just leave, once you miss it, you won't know when you will see you again.
He felt a little unwilling in his heart.
While hesitating in his heart, Mo Wulou seemed to see his thoughts, and said lightly: "Those masters have already discovered your whereabouts, since they haven't started along the way, I'm afraid that their purpose is not just to catch you." ”
As he spoke, he intentionally or unintentionally touched the black and shiny knife on his waist and said, "Besides, even if they want to arrest you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do so." ”
These words are tantamount to making a promise to Zhang Fatzi, Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and decided to stay in his heart and leave in no hurry for the time being.
He just wanted to lean over and say a few words of gratitude to the fifth floor of the demon, but when he moved, his unassuming stomach made a gurgling sound at an inopportune time.
Only then did he remember that he hadn't eaten since he went to Zeng Yuanwai's house in the afternoon.
Originally, he had always had something on his mind in his heart, but he didn't feel it yet, but now that he was relaxed by the words of the fifth floor of the demon, he suddenly felt hungry in his stomach.
He looked at the fifth floor of the demon with some embarrassment, and said, "Senior, I haven't eaten for half a day, I really can't stand it, I don't know if you can ......."
Mo Wulou glanced at him and said coldly: "What, you want to beat my idea? I don't have any delicacies from the mountains and seas, big fish and meat here." I think you should bear with it, wait until your senior brother comes back, and then go and buy you something to eat. ”
Zhang Fatzi was stunned when he heard this, Uncle Nail was actually his senior brother, which was originally extremely secretive, and even the people around him knew about it except for his father, how did this demon Wulou know this?
Just as he was about to ask, the fifth floor of the demon stood up, looking like he was about to leave.
Walking to the door, the fifth floor of the demon suddenly stopped, reached out and took out a cloth bag from his arms, turned around and threw it to Zhang Fatzi, and said, "I have another baked cake here, you can top one first." ”
After saying that, he walked out of the house without looking back.
Zhang Fatzi was holding a cloth bag of baked cakes in his hand, feeling a little stunned.
It is said that the fifth floor of the "magic knife" is very arrogant, has a strange temperament, and is extremely difficult to get along with.
Now that this contact has come down, Zhang Fatzi
I felt that he was vaguely like Ye Feng, and there were some warm things, but he was hidden very deep and not easy to be discovered.
At least, he is definitely not the kind of ruthless person that people in the rivers and lakes think they are.
Walking out of the house, the fifth floor of the demon silently jumped out of the wall.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
Behind him, a shadow-like figure suddenly appeared like a ghost, as if it appeared out of thin air.
The fifth floor of the demon didn't seem surprised, turned his back to the visitor, and said lightly: "Old ghost, I didn't expect even you to come." ”
The shadow-like man known as the "old ghost" spoke, and because of his face, his voice sounded a little muddy: "Now in this Qingping County, it is very lively, even you are here, and I am not the only one who came." ”
Mo Wulou turned to face him, and it seemed that they not only knew each other, but also knew each other very well.
The fifth floor of the demon shook his head at the high wall and asked, "Your apprentice is lying in there now, why don't you go in and see him?"
It turned out that this person called the "old ghost" turned out to be Zhang Fatzi's master!
I only heard him sigh lightly and said, "We always meet when it's time to meet, and it's not time yet." ”
Mo Wulou frowned and said, "You two masters and apprentices are really strange, one of them never mentioned that you are his master, what about you, the apprentice was seriously injured, and he didn't want to go in to see him when he got to the door." ”
The old ghost sneered: "No matter how strange we are, we can have your master and apprentice, the apprentice is gone, and even you, the master, don't know his whereabouts, and you have to use other people's tricks to find your apprentice." How can you be better than me?"
Mo Wulou was speechless by his words, and was silent for a moment before sighing, changing the topic and saying, "It's a pity that you're an apprentice. If it weren't for his family background, with his talent, over time, I am afraid that his attainments in light skills in the future will definitely not be below you. ”
The shadow-like man shook his head and said, "What you said is not right, if he doesn't have that kind of family background, I won't accept him as my apprentice, how can I talk about future attainments or anything?"
The fifth floor of the demon was not angry when he robbed him, but nodded and said: "Originally, I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to deal with the old monster of the Jiangnan Ming family by myself, but now that you are here, you and I may not have no chance to join forces." ”
The shadow snorted coldly: "You know that I am with you all the way, and I will definitely help you?"
When the fifth floor heard this, he didn't care at all, laughed, and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, I should have talked with you and conspired to get drunk." ”
He patted his body and said, "It's just that my last baked cake was given to your foodie apprentice just now, and in the middle of the night, there is really no place to invite you to have a good meal." ”
The shadow said coldly: "I know you poor ghost, when have you seen you entertained? Come with me, I know that there is a place in this city where a lot of good wine is hidden, and it is enough for you and me to get drunk." ”
Mo Wulou smiled and said: "Which restaurant or rich man's wine cellar is it? Don't you want to talk about me, when did you not go to someone else's house to play the autumn breeze, how did you spend half a cent of silver?"
The shadow said no more, and walked away.
The figures of the two men were extremely fast, and they disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
None of them noticed that on the corner of the street, a man in a tattered straw mat was lying in the shape of an old beggar in a shabby shirt with gray hair.
He didn't fall asleep, his sparkling eyes kept looking at the fifth floor of the demon and the shadow-like person, until the figures of the two disappeared, and he showed a meaningful expression.
