Volume 1 Jin Bo Snow Carp Chapter 28 Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle
After Xiao Yunfan came out of Hong Kun's house, he turned back to the pine forest, took care of the bodies of the two people, and planned to go to the Bashan faction again. On the way, he pondered: I don't know Feng Shibo, they can find the person behind the scenes. When he came to a fork in the road, he suddenly raised his head and saw two Bashan disciples riding fast horses not far away. And he stood in the middle of the road, blocking the two of them from going way. The two looked at it from afar, thinking that it was a strong man who robbed the road, so they couldn't help but restrain the reins of their horses and draw their long swords from behind their backs.
When he got closer, he saw that it was Xiao Yunfan. Xiao Yunfan smiled and said, "Are the two disciples of the Bashan faction?" The two brothers glanced at each other, and the disciples had seen Xiao Yunfan in the martial arts competition in Bashan Square that day. One of them put away his sword and returned it to the sheath, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Xiao Daxia." I was ordered by the head of the family to go to Shennong Valley to find out the news. Xiao Yunfan said curiously: "Shenlong Valley?" The man said: "Xiao Daxia doesn't know, my uncle and they went into the valley with that old Mr. Feng, and there is no news so far." The head of the family was going to go in person, but the people from Jin Kezhai and the people from Yunyangguan were coming again, and he had no skills, so he had to send us juniors. ”
Xiao Yunfan's heart tightened, he lowered his head and muttered for a moment, and said to the man: "This old man, it's good for you two to ride together, give me a horse, and I'll go to visit Master Huo." I just heard that the two of them said that Jin Kezhai and Yunyangguan were coming, could it be that the news of Huo Zhangmen's detention of Huang Meng and Huang Meng was revealed, and the other party came to ask for someone?" The man said: "Huang Yiming and Meng Xian are dead. The head of the family passed the news to their relatives, and they had come to collect the body. Xiao Yunfan was shocked and said, "How could they die?" The man shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, since Xiao Daxia is a good friend of our Bashan faction, junior brother give him your horse." Xiao Daxia, the two of us still have to go to find out the news, and we are out of company!" he said, arching his hand.
The man rode with his junior brother and ran in the direction of Shennong Valley. Xiao Yunfan also turned on his horse and headed towards Bashan. On the way, he was thinking: As soon as Huang Meng and the others died, Jin Kezhai and Yunyangguan would inevitably collude and make it difficult for Huo Zhongyuan. When they start a dispute, they play into the hands of the enemy. Feng Shibo didn't they go to Shenlong Valley to ask for medicine for that little boy? Wait, that Jinbo Snow Carp was fake, but Xu Shou's prescription that day was true, so it can be seen that something happened in Shennong Valley.
So, Feng Shibo and the others went to Shennong Valley, didn't they throw themselves into the net? Anyway, they still met Huo Zhongyuan and discussed this matter again.
rushed to the foot of Bashan, and the disciple guarding the mountain saw that it was Xiao Yunfan and let him go up the mountain. He walked through the wall and walked towards the Bashan Hall. I saw that the door of the hall was closed, and the eight disciples in front of the hall stood in two columns, and Xiao Yunfan said to one of them: "Xiao Yunfan visited Huo Zhangmen, and he also passed on to Brother Laotai." The man said: "Xiao Daxia, the head of the house is discussing with the guests, I'm afraid it will ......" Xiao Yunfan said with a straight face: "This matter is related to the survival of your Bashan faction, and I also ask my brother to pass it on quickly." The disciple was taken aback when he heard this, and when he saw Xiao Yunfan's solemn expression, he immediately ran to the front of the hall.
In a few moments, the door of the temple opened. Huo Zhongyuan walked out in person, and as soon as he saw Xiao Yunfan, he held his hand, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Xiao, you came at the right time, now the people from Jin Kezhai and Yunyangguan are really troublesome, my junior brother and Mr. Feng are missing, and I ask my brother to think of a way." Xiao Yunfan understood at the moment and said, "Let's go in and talk." ”
I saw that the main hall was crowded with people, and there was a yellow-eyed old Taoist sitting on the brocade stool on the left, and under the old Taoist were two young Taoists, one with a red face and a high nose. Behind them stood fifteen disciples. Opposite these Taoists sat an old woman with a wrinkled face, and under the old woman were three big men with different appearances, the first one had a burnt yellow face, and the eyebrows were somewhat similar to Huang Yiming, and the other two had a face like black iron, and a crooked mouth.
Huo Zhongyuan stretched out his hand to Xiao Yunfan to introduce them one by one, the Huangmei Daoist was Yunyangzi, and the red face and high nose bridge of his lower head were his disciples, one was called Yuan Hai, and the other was called Yuan Chao. The old woman is Huang Yiming's wife, known as the Iron Gall Yaksha, the man with a scorched yellow face is her son named Huang Fei, the black-faced man is the second master of Jin Kezhai called Tang Jing, and the crooked mouth is the third master named Ye Hu.
After everyone greeted each other, the old woman had red eyes, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Master Huo, my old man came to your Bashan faction as a guest, and now that something has happened, you have to give my old woman an explanation." Otherwise, don't blame the old woman for being rude!" Jin Kezhai and everyone also echoed. Yun Yangzi had tears in his eyes, glared at Huo Zhongyuan and said, "The junior apprentice Meng Xian also came to your faction as a guest, but he never wanted to die in your faction, dare to ask Brother Huo what is the reason for this?"
Huo Zhongyuan thought to himself: Didn't you go up the mountain to push the matter of the dead onto the head of our Bashan faction. He coughed twice at the moment, and said slowly: "Don't be impatient, the deaths of Brother Huang and Brother Meng are the work of others, and have nothing to do with my Bashan faction." You have also seen the corpses of the two of them, and they died from blood Gu. My Bashan faction is a well-known and decent family, how can I use such a small method?"
Huang Fei stood up and said loudly: "It's a good one that has nothing to do with your Bashan faction, if it weren't for my father's friendship with you and came to administer justice for you, how could something happen?" The people in Jin Kezhai followed and coaxed again.
The Taoists of Yunyangguan, the two Yuan generations, are not fuel-efficient lamps, and when they saw the anger of Jin Kezhai, they wanted to fan the flames. Yuan Hai knew that Meng Xian was a very important disciple of Yunyangzi, and of course it would be of great benefit to him if he died. If you don't show it in front of Yun Yangzi, how can Yun Yangzi value herself? At that moment, he cried out with a wow, crying miserably, and said while crying: "Brother Meng Xian, you died so miserably, now you are upholding justice for others, you are dead, but people ignore it, pity you young hero, but you are misunderstood." ”
His words were obviously to ridicule the ingratitude of the Bashan faction, and a disciple behind Huo Zhongyuan was angry in his heart, and shouted: "You'd better speak clearly, what does it mean to be misunderstood?" Yuan Chao on Yuan Hai's side was not to be outdone, and snorted coldly: "My junior brother is young and ignorant, so he listened to your nonsense and came to preside over justice, but now justice has not been completed, and he gave his life, you say that it is not you who mistook him, or we mistook him? For the sake of your Bashan, I lost my life, can I say that it has nothing to do with you?"
In order to maintain the reputation of their faction, the children of the Bashan faction were even more red-faced and red-faced with the people of Yunyangguan and Jin Kezhai, and they wanted to draw their swords in a hurry. Yuan Chao stood up, glared at the disciple and said, "Why are you still not allowed to be reasonable, Dao Ye, I tell you the truth, you actually want to do something with us?" He turned his face to Jin Kezhai's humanity: "Brother Huang, Senior Tang, Senior Ye, you give a commentary." ”
Jin Kezhai and Yunyangguan colluded, and they came to the mountain today to provoke a scene. At this time, Yuan Chao handed words to them, how could the people of Jin Kezhai ignore them. Tang Jingdao said: "Yes, what we in the martial arts value the most is a chivalrous word, what is a chivalrous character? Now our Huangzhai Lord and Brother Meng said so, and they did so, they generously went to righteousness, and your Bashan faction did not have a good word of comfort, but said that it had nothing to do with themselves. Master Huo, isn't this making the heroes of the world feel cold?"
Yunyangguan and the others were moved by Tang Jing's words, and they couldn't help but applaud. Seeing that their own family was at a loss, the Bashan disciples lowered their heads one by one.
Huo Zhongyuan laughed and said, "Okay, good, since you are so forced, then Huo Mou can't care about the faces of your families." So, he told the story of the murder of Mrs. Mo by the two that day, and explained how the two were killed one by one. The two families listened to it and had their own thoughts.
At this time, Xiao Yunfan stood up and said: "Everyone, and listen to what Xiao said, what Huo Zhangmen said, many martial arts seniors are present, if you don't believe it, you can ask the abbot of Jiming Temple, Mr. Bai Er, Tong's Shuangxiong, and Yiqing Daoist for verification." ”
What Xiao Yunfan said were all famous figures in the rivers and lakes, and what they said was the most convincing to others. At this time, Huo Zhongyuan took out two more letters and said slowly: "Everyone, this letter is the handwriting of the abbot of Hongyuan and Mr. Bai Er, you might as well circulate it." Daoist Yunyang, you also have a friendship with Mr. Bai Er, you don't know his words, right?"
Yun Yangzi took the letter and read it aloud to everyone, with mixed feelings in his heart. At this time, Xiao Yunfan said: "In fact, the owner of Huangzhai and Brother Meng were forced by people to do the wrong thing. If you want to investigate the culprits and avenge their blood hatred, Xiao can serve everyone. ”
The people of Yunyang Temple were silent. On the contrary, Mrs. Huang of Jin Kezhai had a look of shame and anger on her face, and suddenly she raised her head and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, the old man of my family always harms people, and others say that he has done a lot of evil, and it is not bad if he dies, but the old woman is his wife, and we will avenge this revenge." His son also straightened his chest and said loudly: "What my mother said is right, there is a way that the father avenges the son, and the father pays the debt." Dad did something wrong, and Fei'er corrected it for him. Father's revenge, I have to avenge my son. ”
Xiao Yunfan said: "Okay, I understand what the two mean, I don't know if Daoist Yunyang still wants to take revenge?" Yunyangzi looked aggrieved, sighed and said: "Poor Taoists have no way, and there is such a scum in the door, I am really ashamed." Brother Huo, no matter what, he is my apprentice after all, let me take him away. Yuan Hai, Yuan Chao, you go and get people. Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a later meeting. As he spoke, he led the doorman to leave in a hurry.
Huo Zhongyuan looked at Xiao Yunfan and said, "Brother Xiao, have you found the culprit?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Not bad." He turned his head to the people in Jin Kezhai and said slowly: "If you want to take revenge, let's meet in Zhongnan Mountain in half a month, and Xiao will definitely find out the culprit at that time." ”
On Jin Kezhai's side, everyone's eyes looked at Mrs. Huang, waiting for her to speak. Mrs. Huang stood up and arched her hand to Xiao Yunfan and said, "Little brother, let's make a decision." Saying that, she said to everyone again: "Big guy, welcome the old village owner back, Master Huo, take your leave." Then he strode out of the hall.
After Yunyangguan and Jin Kezhai went down the mountain, Xiao Huo and the others went to the study to discuss secretly. Huo Zhongyuan coughed twice and sighed: "Brother Xiao, Huo is really old, and he can't do many things. The two of them were here, and I can't say a lot of things. "Explain the matter of the daughter post to Xiao Yunfan at the moment. After hearing this, Xiao Yunfan sighed and said: "This plan of 'stealing beams and changing pillars' is good, but you have ignored one point, since the post is a thing sent by a thief, there must be a mark on it." Moreover, Huang Meng and the others were poisoned with blood and killed on the spot. Wouldn't it be self-defeating to enter the valley with such a post? Shennong Valley was afraid that it would have been ambushed and waiting for them a long time ago. ”
Huo Zhongyuan's face changed and said: "In this way, they are more than lucky, how can we rescue them?" Xiao Yunfan stretched out his index finger and gently tapped it on his forehead, falling into deep thought.
After a while, he frowned and said, "It's not that there is no way, but we have to wait for the two brothers from your faction to come back." ”
Inside a huge cave, there were six guards standing at the door, each armed with a steel knife. Several torches are placed on the stone wall in front of the cave for lighting. Dozens of people were being held inside an iron fence behind them.
Feng Miaoqing's vest leaned against the stone wall and whispered, "Grandpa, how are you?" Feng Yuchun said: "It's just that the hands and feet are sore, and there is no strength at all." Hey, it's all because I was overlooked, so many people were put in danger. Feng Miaoqing said: "Grandpa doesn't have to blame himself. Now that they have captured us without immediately harming us, it shows that we are still useful. Feng Yuchun sighed: "They kept us just to lure the little lion to take the bait." ”
Feng Miaoqing blinked and said, "Grandpa means that Xiao Yunfan's kid will come to save us?" Feng Yuchun said: "Yes, even if the little lion can't know that we are in danger for a while, they will do everything possible to let him know." Hey, it seems that I am indeed old, and I didn't even think that the intention of the gold post sent by the man in black was to let us fall into the net. ”
Meng Lang sat next to Feng Yuchun, and he said in a low voice: "Master, don't blame yourself, I see that Brother Xiao is resourceful, and he will definitely find a way to save us." ”
Feng Yuchun knew in his heart that no matter who came to save him, he was in danger. The culprit behind the scenes is not only thoughtful, vicious and vicious, but also has many henchmen, which must be a big trouble for the righteous path of martial arts. Although Xiao Yunfan is witty, it is difficult for him to compete with him alone.
Two days later, the two disciples of Bashan reported back. There were dozens of people leaving the Divine Dragon Valley, all of them wearing long cloaks, and it was late at night, and they didn't really see the ground. When Xiao Yunfan heard this, he already had a plan in his heart, and immediately asked the two disciples about the terrain of Shennong Valley and how the wind direction was. According to what the two said, Xiao Yunfan drew a sketch with a pen. Huo Zhongyuan glanced at the picture and said: "Brother Xiao, this watchtower is built on top of the cliff, which can be described as easy to tolerate and difficult to attack. What's more, the ground near the bottom of this cliff is unobstructed, and they will find it if someone appears on the ground. ”
Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "Master Huo doesn't have to worry, Xiao has already figured out a way to deal with it." But for now, I'll have to get some things for you, the sooner the better. Huo Zhongyuan's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Xiao really has a strange plan to enter the valley?" Xiao Yunfan said: "What is this serious, I can't lie to you." Saying that, he wrote down the things he wanted, and Huo Zhongyuan hurriedly instructed his disciples to do it.
