On a hill next to the official road about eighty miles north of the town, the terrain around the official road is relatively flat, and the only place that is more suitable for ambush is this small hill. A man in his forties asked his subordinates around him, "Xueqing and his party should have arrived, right?"

"Qiqi Sect Master, twenty miles ahead, we have set up a secret sentry, and there is no news yet. A man in black said with a smile.

"It's also called the door master, remember, from now on, the title of Shura Gate no longer exists, it's called the hall master!" It turned out that this middle-aged man was the famous "Shura Blood Knife" Luo Feihua in the rivers and lakes, and he immediately corrected his subordinates.

"Yes, Master. The man in black under his command said in fear.

"Hehe, my subordinates are used to it, I will definitely reprimand them strictly in the future, and I hope that the Dharma Protector will not be surprised. Luo Feihua turned around and said with a smile to a thin man in black beside her. This person is the withered bamboo sword, one of the four gentlemen's swords.

"Hall Master Luo, don't mind, the old man is not so stingy, in fact, the four of us brothers are the four protectors, nominally one level higher than your hall masters, but it is an idle position, the implementation of specific tasks is still based on your various halls, we are just assisting, so you don't have to be so respectful to the old man, just when we are at the same level, we are still called brothers when there is no one." And there are four elders above, and those are the real power figures, especially the great elders, whose authority is still above the two deputy sect masters. In the future, you have to be respectful. In addition, there are three major offerings, the singular number belongs to the absolute guest status, no matter what miscellaneous things, the status is higher, similar to the outer master, and the master of the outer door is the most relied on peerless master. The main gate master has a lot of respect for the four of them, especially the outer door master, who is almost on an equal footing with the main door master, if you have to deal with it, you have to be careful!"

"Okay, follow the orders of the four Dharma protectors, then I will be commensurate with the four Dharma protector brothers in the future, haha, in the future, I hope that the four Dharma protectors will have a lot of kind words in front of the elders, and in martial arts, I also hope that the four Dharma protectors and elders will give more advice!" As she spoke, Luo Feihua took out a silver ticket and respectfully handed it to the withered bamboo sword: "This is the silver ticket of the Tianbao, a little bit of brother's meaning, and I hope that the three protectors will not be too little, let alone outside!"

The withered bamboo sword looked at it, 100,000 taels, and his eyes lit up, so he took the silver ticket and said: "Hall Master Luo, it's too polite, how embarrassing is this, it's really deserved, but it's disrespectful, I accepted it on behalf of my brothers, and I also understand what Hall Master Luo meant, and in the future, the four of us brothers will try our best to be considerate of Hall Master Luo." As for teaching martial arts, Luo Tang Master is too modest, maybe, my eldest brother and second brother can still guide you one or two, but I and the fourth brother, I'm afraid I can't point to you Luo Tang Master, as far as I know, Luo Brother's Shura sword technique, definitely not under Xue Qing's fast snow swordsmanship, the rivers and lakes rumor, you are in the top ten in the world, ranked third or fourth, with my fourth brother's swordsmanship, against Xue Qing, although he injured Xue Qing, but he also suffered a sword, from this, Luo Tang Master's martial arts and me and the fourth brother, not far apart, the difference is only internal force and fire, and the growth of internal force can only rely on the accumulation of years or natural treasures。 So why don't I talk to my fourth brother to teach you Master Luo. Withered Bamboo Sword said with a smile.

"Hehe, the three protectors, they are too modest, it is reported that if the four protectors were not light on the enemy at that time, they would not have been injured. However, we still underestimate Xue Qing, he has always been low-key, and people in the rivers and lakes don't know much about him, they all say, three laughs and one cry, the so-called top ten in the world, tied for the first, say that I am second, Zhao Changsheng of the Yama Palace is third, and everyone else is between the best, but because Xue Qing once won the Yunliu Sword, it is speculated that he may be between the fifth and the sixth, and now it seems that he is still underestimated, and his strength is likely to be above Zhao Changsheng. I'm not sure I'll win him. Luo Feihua still said respectfully and carefully.

"Well, by the way, when you are the top ten in the world, we have been in hiding in the rivers and lakes for a long time, if it weren't for the personal invitation of the outer door master, saying that it was to unify the rivers and lakes together, we would almost not be able to escape from the world, so we know very little about your top ten in the world, you say, three laughs and one cry, is the most powerful of your top ten? Withered Bamboo Sword asked curiously.

Luo Feihua said with a dignified expression: "Three Protectors, with all due respect, these three laughing monks and a crying Taoist, although they are listed as the top ten in the world with us, but, as far as I know, a few of us and the two of them are not at the same level, they are known as the first talents in Shaolin and Wudang in a hundred years, each of them has studied hard in the sect, Taoguang has been obscure for more than 20 years, not Ming, a blockbuster, their martial arts, with all due respect, although you are a senior master in the rivers and lakes, if you are a single person to any person, you may not be able to win, but these two have always been ' Jiao Buli Meng's 'If you meet two people, the seniors must not underestimate the enemy, if you really want to win the two, even if Hanmei protects the Fa, it will be difficult to ensure everything. Therefore, the three protectors, you must not underestimate the enemy, and don't treat the two of them as the top ten in the world like me and Xue Qing. ”

"Well, the martial arts of the two of them are so high! Shaolin, Wudang is really profound, fortunately, the outer master has ordered that the two deputy masters personally lead the team to destroy Shaolin and Wudang, so as not to appear in the future such a master as Sanxiao and Yiwai, against us. It's a pity that although Shaolin was completely wiped out, all the disciples of Wudang, including the head, fled and disappeared. The withered bamboo sword was also shocked, but it instantly regained its calm.

"Ah? Shaolin was destroyed by us, and the entire Wudang faction fled?" Luo Feihua is just a hall master, not a core figure, and he has been busy intercepting Xue Qing recently, and the news is blocked, so he was surprised to hear it. For hundreds of years, there are always rising big sects in the rivers and lakes, although they dare to call the first in the rivers and lakes, but there has never been any sect to provoke Shaolin and Wudang, on the contrary, no matter how to toss the rivers and lakes, Shaolin and Wudang are deaf, Shaolin and Wudang are also closed, regardless of asking, to maintain a delicate balance. Now, the two major sects have been wiped out and one escaped. The shock in Luo Feihua's heart can be imagined. Fortunately, he joined, and the ambition of the two masters also made him feel different.

"Yes, the two deputy masters, personally leading the team, it is impossible for the Shaolin Temple to resist it. Do you know who the two deputy masters are?" asked the withered bamboo sword.

"Please let me know the three protectors!, I've only seen the Great Protector for a short time. I was deeply impressed and decided to join. I have never seen any of the two deputy sect masters, the four elders, and the three major offerings. Besides, at the level of his subordinates, before the day when the sect was established, I am afraid that he would not be able to see the high-level figures of his own sect. Luo Fei said stupidly.

"The two deputy sect masters, that is, the disciples of the main sect master and the outer door master, martial arts, I'm afraid it's on par with my eldest brother, under the elders and worshippers, but they are deeply trusted, and their power in the door is not small, second only to the great elders. But these two people are not easy to talk to, usually except for my eldest brother, even the three of us are not in their eyes, if there is an order from the two of them, we must deal with it carefully. "The withered bamboo sword received so much silver from Luo Fei, naturally he can't take it for nothing, and he has to give something in return.

"Thank you for the three protectors, my subordinates know, we are really masters in the door, and the strength is unfathomable, but I don't know why, this time the two people are on the task, Wei Tongtian is okay, he took my subordinates, the bone knife is talented, and he leads the crowd to help, which is relatively easy. Because Feng Ruyi will not come in person at all, he will definitely sit in his lair, and the only people he can send are a few of his subordinates, so it is not a big problem. And let's intercept Xue Qing, but there are only two of us, to be honest, I don't have any bottom in my heart, even though the three protectors are strong in martial arts, far above Xue Qing, but Xue Qing's three strange and four strange, the two of them are enough to compete with any of the top ten masters except for three laughs and one cry, the golden abacus Qi Tianzhen is just that they fought a lose-lose battle, the 'Yin and Yang Double Judgment' is probably only slightly inferior to these two elders, and the black and white impermanence brothers are also first-class masters, 'Hell Swordsman' Li Changyang and "Thunderbolt Heavy Sword" Xiahou Kong's strength is not lower than that of the second elder, although I defeated the two of them back then, I was also injured. Besides, we still don't know what the two living creatures that injured the Second Protector at that time were. Even if the three protectors of the Dharma are strong in your martial arts, I am afraid that they will be invincible with two fists and four hands. So we don't have any confidence in this blockade, I'm afraid that we will be cannon fodder. You said that if Xue Qing and her party really want to fight to the death, we are afraid that we will lose both. Luo Feihua felt that she had no confidence and no strength to block Xue Qing and her party.

"This time it was an obvious mistake in arrangement, but the task has been issued, I thought that my second brother's poison was solved, and my fourth brother led the crowd to chase and kill all the way, so that Xue Qing and his party were embarrassed, and there were certain casualties, we will intercept in front of us, collect a fisherman's profit, and make a big contribution, fortunately, on the day of the opening of the sect, I will let you and me open your face, so my eldest brother tried his best to arrange the two of us, and my eldest brother has always regarded you as a confidant, because you are also personally brought into the door, who would have thought that the toxicity was super violent, my second brother for a while, the residual poison could not be cleared, not only did not chase and kill, but also delayed time, we only changed from picking up cheap to being a pioneer, it's really better to be a human being than to be counted by heaven. "The withered bamboo sword is also very annoyed.

"Then what should we do? Please also ask the three protectors to guide the maze, don't block it, the door rules are not a joke, they are really blocked, I'm afraid we really have to fight together, you and I don't have to talk about the credit, whether we can get out of the way is a problem. As for the ones we brought, they are no match for them at all. Alas, what a dilemma!"

Luo Fei is cunning and cunning, and this ball is really full of points.

"That's it, we expected Xue Qing to take this official road, it must not be wrong, but this road has not moved so far, we say that Xue Qing has experienced in the rivers and lakes, and has a good mind, I am afraid that there will be an ambush on the official road, and we must take another mountain road, we are afraid that we will miss Xue Qing and his party, so we led the crowd to the mountain road to intercept it, in this way, we are not just missing it in the bright light? Then we couldn't wait any longer, thinking that Xue Qing was still behind, so we chased back along the road, until they met with my second brother, and then chased Xue Qing together, Xue Qing and his party have no horses, they will definitely be caught up by us, won't we be able to make up for it?

"The idea of the three protectors is good, that is, it prevents us from breaking the net with Xue Qingyu, and in the pursuit of the later, we have made miraculous achievements, in the final analysis, although the annihilation of Renhetang is a twist and turn, but in the end it is still the work of the four protectors. Gao, it's really high! The subordinates admired! "Luo Feihua can't wait for it! Just starting out in the sect, he didn't get any benefits, and he also pasted his original sect, so Luo Feihua was unwilling to do this loss-making business. ”

"That's right, the three protectors, this is the best, from this, Wei Lao Ghost and they solved the reinforcements, if they come back too quickly, we haven't caught up with Xue Qing and his party, we will become a pioneer, haha, this is enough for this old boy to drink a pot." This old boy has always been against me, and it's good to suffer a loss. Luo Feihua thought that if Wei Tongtian met Xue Qing in advance, he couldn't hold back a smile in his heart.

"Hey, Hall Master Luo, we are all Chinese, we still have to work together, after meeting with my second brother and fourth brother, we must speed up, we must not let Hall Master Wei fall into danger, not to mention, he is also a hall master, if it is damaged, I am afraid that my eldest brother will not be able to bear the punishment." Let's keep it for later!" Withered Bamboo Sword advised.

"That's, that's, everything obeys the Three Protectors. "This tilapia is also a vicious person, and now he has pushed two five or six, once anything goes wrong, it is the fault of the withered bamboo sword.

"Okay, let's go now, don't really meet Xue Qing, in that case, we won't be able to hide, let's go!"

"Subordinates take orders!" Luo Feihua waved his hand and explained, and the group rushed to another mountain road in an instant......

In the grass not far away, there was a person lurking, and his camouflage skills were absolutely first-class, even masters like tilapia and withered bamboo sword were not aware of it at all. Seeing that everyone was walking away, he stood up, performed light skills, and rushed in the direction of the town......

Another two hours or so passed. Xue Qing and his entourage, having a full meal, and breathing for more than two hours, at this moment, after drinking tea and packing up, the group left the inn and was about to leave.

"Snow hero, I am more familiar with this area of Hebei, there are two roads to Shanhaiguan in front, one is the official road, flat and easy, we don't have to go directly in order to hide people's eyes, not far along the official road, continue to move forward, if you encounter an ambush, you can escape. The other is a rugged and difficult mountain road, in case of an ambush, there is basically no way to escape, but to fight to the death, which one do we take?" Xia Houkong asked.

"The mysterious man knows that we don't have horses, and we don't go fast, and the pursuers behind must be chasing us along the official road on horseback, and they expect that we will definitely be gradually overtaken, and they dare not take the big road, thinking that we must take the mountain road, so setting up an ambush on the mountain road will definitely block us. This is in terms of normality. But the soldiers are not tired of deceit, we can think of it, and the mysterious people can also think of it, so I think they must do the opposite, there will be no ambush on the mountain road, but an ambush on the avenue, so it is right for us to take the mountain road. "Xue Qing's analysis is absolutely correct. In the slightest, he couldn't have imagined that tilapia and withered bamboo sword each have their own little abacus, and this decision is afraid that it will live up to the painstaking efforts of tilapia and withered bamboo sword.

"Well, Snow Hero, you're right, true and false, false and true. We'll listen to you, it's safer to walk the mountain road! The more dangerous it is, the safer it is, as the wise saying goes!"

"Alright, let's go," Xue Qing and the group walked outside the town.

As soon as I walked outside the town, before I reached the fork in the road, I saw a person rushing along the official road, the speed was so fast, the light skill was high, it was breathtaking!

"Enemies?" Xue Qing and his party stopped, guarding carefully.

The speed of the person who came was very fast, and he soon arrived in front of Xue Qing and his party, and suddenly, the person who came knelt down on one knee and bowed his head on the spot! "Dare to ask but Xue Daxia?"

"Exactly, this brother is quickly!" Xue Qing hurriedly helped the person up.

"Snow Hero, I am the person in charge of Ruyifang's secret contact point in Shandong, Kong Xiaotong, who is known as 'Ghost Shadow' in the rivers and lakes. The man got up and replied.

"Huh?" everyone was shocked, "ghosts and shadows, everywhere" Kong Xiaotong, the first in the rivers and lakes, the first in the search for news, a very mysterious character, few people in the rivers and lakes have seen his true face. It seems that this Feng Ruyi is really profound!

"It turned out to be 'ghosts and shadows, everywhere' Kong Daxia, please hurry up, Xue can't afford such a big gift from Kong Daxia!" Xue Qing was also surprised. ”

"Snow Hero, you're welcome, I'm the owner of Fengfang, Ling Gongzi and my young lady have already set up a relationship, and my father-in-law is called, so it's my young master, then, Snow Hero is the same as the owner, that is, my master. Therefore, I received a letter from the owner of the house, asking us to pay close attention to the safety of the mysterious forces and Renhetang. It's a pity that the change of Renhetang, the matter started between elbows and armpits, and the mysterious organization had no warning in advance, so we didn't prepare at all, and when we got the news, it would be too late to go to Renhetang. So I feel very guilty in my heart, after the safe withdrawal from the Snow Hero, I caught up with the Snow Hero, and rushed ahead of the Snow Hero, all the way to listen to the news of the Snow Hero's way forward, always about a hundred miles in front of you, once the situation is found, I can turn back to warn, fortunately there is no enemy situation all the way, until today. The ghost said.

"Good work, Brother Kong. Xue Qing was greatly moved! For several days in a row, it was this person in the rivers and lakes who claimed to be the first person to find out the news who was exploring the way for herself, but she didn't know anything.

"Brother Kong, now that you have appeared, there must be a change in the road ahead!" Xue Qing hurriedly asked!

"Dare to ask Snow Hero, did you choose to go on the mountain road?" the ghost asked hurriedly!

"Yes, how did Brother Kong know?

"Hey, originally the Snow Hero was like a god, tilapia and the mysterious man were setting up an ambush on the main road, and if the Snow Hero chose the mountain road, he would just avoid the danger. The ghost said.

"Luo Feihua, this kid is really not a good bird, he really took refuge in the mysterious organization, he and Qi Tianzhen are originally the same raccoon dog. I originally thought that if he took refuge in the mysterious organization, it would probably be him who stopped us in Hebei, hmph, it was really this villain. Xue Qing said with a disdainful face: "Brother Kong came to call the police, could it be that there is a change?"

The ghost will overhear the conversation between Luo Fei and the withered bamboo sword, learn it again, and repeat their decision.

"Huh??No, it's really that people are not as good as heaven. Xue Qing didn't expect Luo Feihua to play such a game in order to preserve her strength. Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, dignified, the former "Shura Gate" master, a generation of grandmasters, and one of the top ten tilapia in the world, turned out to be such a good person. In order to save his life and preserve his strength, he did not hesitate to buy the withered bamboo sword with a lot of money, and came up with such tricks......
