Volume 3 The Mallet in the Hand Chapter 228 Another Idea
When the old scholar heard this, he suddenly sneered and said, "The matter has come to this point, and you still want to be stubborn? Whether you two live or die, good or bad, everything has nothing to do with us. But if you are not thieves and greedy and will not give up your gavel, why do you flee overnight?"
Yuan Hao's heart sank, and he pondered: "Grandpa Turtle, in this way, these pursuers are not here for the islanders of Yinghai Island, but only for the black mallet Dao Bao? I and the worried Dao Alliance of the surname Du found out about our identity, so they fled north overnight, it turned out that it was all in vain?
He looked at it, and saw that the disciples of the three factions were faintly a lot more, there were already about 30 people, although they were numerous, but they were silent, each with his own hand pressing his weapon, staring at Yuan and Du, just waiting for the old scholar who took the lead to fall, he would inevitably pounce immediately. He was anxious and bitter, only to feel that it was not a way to escape again, his heart was pounding, and while he was carrying the luck of the free heart, he thought: "We can't beat these people if we say anything, and we can't escape far, the old family's martial arts are obviously higher than all of them, if it weren't for Grandpa Zhu's long sword to help him and force back the old family's two palms, we would have already become the turtle in the urn." It's just that why we want to escape, this thing must not be said, so what can we do?" Just as he had a sad face, he didn't know how to speak.
I saw that they all rushed to put down Yuan Hao first, bowed to everyone, and said loudly: "The seniors said this badly! Although I don't know what misunderstanding there is, the younger two have always respected the Martial Arts and Dao Alliance, especially the 'Five Tyrants', they are even more upright, happy and convinced, and their admiration is like a surging river, and they are really out of control!"
I only heard him say righteous and stern words, his expression was rigorous, and he admired Dao Alliance incomparably, not as if it was false. Yuan Hao knew his nature very well, and he hated the Martial Law Dao Alliance, how could he be convinced as he said?
They all scrambled to sigh first, and then said: "Actually, you don't know, late that night, we heard about such a major event as the union of the three factions, but it was for the sake of the black mallet Dao Treasure, so naturally we didn't dare to slack off, and without saying a word, we agreed to the request of the Li cabinet owner and handed over the black mallet Dao Treasure to act for your convenience. Although we don't know what happened, why did you take the black mallet Dao Treasure, but we felt very guilty in our hearts, and we were really ashamed to make three of the five hegemons fight for this mallet. So I begged the owner of the cabinet to let us leave Fuxian, and from then on we would be incognito and no longer ask about the mundane affairs of the rivers and lakes. There is no intention of embezzling Dao Treasure in the slightest!"
The old scholar glanced at Yuan Hao and Du Zhengxian for a long time, snorted lightly, and said, "Nonsense, the two of you have fled here all the way to Fu Xian, for hundreds of miles, could it be that it is all because you are ashamed of the Dao Alliance in your heart?" At first glance, he had a straight face, as if he was in a displeased mood, and he didn't believe in the words of the first. However, as early as the capital was vying to express sincerity, praising the Taoist League, and flattering the five tyrants everywhere, there was a secret joy in his heart, which was quite useful. It's just that as a senior in the rivers and lakes, joy and anger cannot be easily seen.
They all rushed to be the first to salute again, and said: "Yes, the Central Plains rivers and lakes, respect the martial arts, and under the martial arts, the Dao Alliance is the most important, this is the truth that everyone in the rivers and lakes martial arts, not to mention that they are still the five most powerful in the Dao Alliance? He lowered his head again, the corner of his eyes was bright, and he glared at Yuan Hao.
Yuan Hao came to his senses, rolled his eyes, bowed his head with his hand, and said: "Brother Du is right, the Martial Law Dao Alliance is first-class and powerful, no one in the rivers and lakes can resist, the younger generation accompanies his good friend to catch fish in a boat, and he picks up the black mallet Daobao by mistake, and somehow offends your big brothers and seniors, ashamed, ashamed!"
These words just fell, but seeing that the disciples of the three factions of Fuxian, Xingyun, and Qilu had their own colors, they didn't feel that there was a fake, they only said that Yuan Hao and Du Zheng were so impressed by the Wulu Dao Alliance that they were really ashamed, so they fled for their lives and didn't dare to see people. They couldn't help but feel pity in their hearts, and the grievances and annoyances that rushed all the way to Emei Mountain were reduced by half when they boarded, and their hands were off their weapons, and they hurriedly hugged their fists and saluted. No one thought much about it, this Yuan Hao is not very old tomorrow, and when he talks about the rivers and lakes, he is actually old-fashioned, like an old fritter who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years.
Seeing that their attitude was like this, the old scholar also nodded quietly, and sighed, and couldn't help but think, "What these two little fellows said is not unreasonable. 」
They all rushed to see the opportunity, and said, "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to search your body, whether there is a black mallet Dao treasure, you will know as soon as you search." 」
The old scholar nodded, and said, "Good spirit! Okay, come on, go search the bodies of these two friends." 」
At this time, a white-robed Fuxian Sect man took a step forward and said, "Uncle Song, it's up to me!"
The old scholar saw that this person's face was clear, his eyes flashed, he nodded to himself slightly, came to his senses, and thought: "This is the disciple of the Fan family, the head of Fan, who said that he had seen the appearance of the judge's mallet, and now we don't know what Daobao the black mallet is, if it is really the judge's mallet, he will definitely be able to see it at a glance. Then he said, "Then it's up to you! Remember, don't be rude." 」
The disciple said, "Yes. Then he stepped forward and searched Yuan and Du. The two of them were very cooperative, and they removed all the weapons, and let the Fuxian disciple search his body and then search his bags. The Fuxian disciple searched for a while, but he still didn't see any utensils with the appearance of a mallet, so he returned to inform the result.
The old scholar pondered for a long time, thinking, "These two don't have black mallets on them, could it be that they really let the Li cabinet master take them?" He suddenly turned his eyes, stared at Yuan Hao's long sword, carefully looked at the four words "green mangs in the snow" carved on the sword, and said, "Sure enough...... Sure enough, little friend, where did you get that sword?"
Yuan Hao said, "A good friend borrowed me. 」
The old scholar was stunned for a moment, and said, "Good friend?" The wrinkles on the old man's face suddenly deepened a lot, his eyes sharpened, and he said coldly: "This nonsense can't be said, that, that...... Why are you lying, little friend, this sword is clearly stolen by you!"
Yuan Hao blinked, shook his head and said, "No, senior, this sword was really borrowed from a friend. He thought to himself, "What is there to steal from Grandpa Bamboo? Not to mention what is really valuable, if I do steal it, Grandpa Bamboo will definitely beat my ass." Hmph, stupid people do such stupid things. 」
The old scholar's face became even colder, and he shouted, "You dare to lie! What kind of item is that sword, how can you not know it?" First of all, no matter how you steal it, the owner of the sword is you and I can't afford to provoke it!" He didn't wait for Yuan Hao to speak, and hurriedly said, "The two of you really don't have a black mallet Dao treasure on you, so it stands to reason that we should let the two of you leave." But such a big battle came out, but it was in vain, I really can't say it, little friend, can you give up that long sword?"
