The Dabie Mountain, which stretches for 800 miles, is the boundary ridge of the three places of Nanzhili, Henan Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, and Huguang Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, and it is the territory of Huguang Huangzhou Mansion through Dabie Mountain.

At the southern foot of Dabie Mountain, there is a steep mountain peak, looking at it from afar, the mountain is absolutely overhanging, majestic and handsome; an official road at the foot of the mountain, winding and twisting, from this to the south more than 100 miles, is the Huangzhou Mansion leaning on the Huangzhou City.

Three two-wheeled carriages, galloping from north to south, appeared on the official road at the foot of the mountain. Not long ago, Han Shen, the left attendant of the military department of Zhishi, sat in the first carriage with his wife Zhou and the little young master Han Ming. After a tiring journey for several days, the three of them were haggard and dusty.

Han Shen looked at the mountain in front of him, and said excitedly to his wife and children: "This mountain is called Daqi Mountain, after this mountain, in less than two hours, you will arrive at the Yangtze River, and then go east along the river, and in less than half a day, you will arrive home." ”

Hearing what his father said, the little young master Han Ming came to his senses, took Mrs. Zhou's hand and said happily: "Mother, let's go home, let's go home." ”

The family was happily talking, when suddenly, the carriage "creaked" to a halt. Han Shen hurriedly asked the coachman: "What's the matter, is the car broken?"

Before the coachman could answer, he heard a voice coming: "Lord Han, why don't you say goodbye, it's easy to teach Liang these days." ”

Han Shen lifted the sedan curtain and saw that not far ahead, a group of five horsemen blocked the way of the carriage.

"Who is the driver, why are you blocking the old man's way?" Han Shen asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Han is in a high position and power, so naturally he doesn't know people like us who are lowly and lowly officials. It's a pity that the road here is sparsely populated, and no one threads the needle for you and me, so I will report to my home: under the surname Liang Mingde, I am in charge of Jinyi Weibei Town, and there are thousands of households in the Fusi pro-army office. ”

I heard that Liang Fang had a younger brother Liang De, and when I saw him today, Han Shen "chuckled" in his heart. When a suspicious figure appeared in the mansion in the capital, Han Shen understood that Liang Fang had inquired about the content of the conversation of the monarchs and ministers in the imperial study through Wan Guifei, and deduced that the truncated letter had fallen into his hands, so he sent someone to spy on it, intending to find the whereabouts of the letter. Today, Liang De and others followed, needless to say, it must have something to do with this matter. And if he didn't win, Liang De would definitely not reveal his identity. Obviously, this is not just a letter, but also the lives of my family. It seems that today is probably going to be a battle to the death.

Thinking of this, Han Shen jumped out and stood in front of Liang De. At this time, Shen Qing and Zhao Xin also arrived, and stood behind the master with their swords.

"It turned out to be Liang Qianhu, who has been famous for a long time. But I don't know why your Excellency stopped the old man's carriage and horses? Han Shen decided to touch Liang De's bottom line first.

"Lord Han, we don't say secret words, my brother knows that those two things are in Lord Han's hands, and he is ordered to come down to ask for them. Because I am afraid that there will not be enough below, I specially invite four scattered people to accompany me, and the five of us will be added together, what does Lord Han think of this face?" Liang De said softly and compassionately.

"What is worth Liang Qianhu coming all the way to ask for it? If the old man has this thing in his hand, he will definitely give it away. As for face, no matter how many nobodies there are, I'm afraid it's not worth it. Han Shen was born in the army, and he paid attention to knowing himself and his opponent, he didn't know where the four people were sacred, so he provoked each other with words.

Those four people are all in their early thirties, and at a glance they know that they are from the rivers and lakes. From the time he appeared to the present, he sat upright and did not move at all, and the things in front of him seemed to have nothing to do with him. At this time, when they heard Han Shen secretly scolding themselves that the four of them were unknowns, they immediately became clamoring like clay sculptures and wood carvings.

A man dressed in a light blue collared shirt and a jade-colored Yangming scarf looked like the leader of the four, waved his hand to stop the noise of the other three, hugged his fists at Han Shen on the horse, and pretended to be gentle: "Senior Han is fortunate to meet." In Xia Wuyun, these are the third brother Jin Lei, the fifth brother Bao Yu, and the sixth brother Shan Xue. My brother was a late learner, known as the 'Lingnan Eight Heroes', and now he is a scattered person in the Liang Mansion. Han is a senior official in the imperial court, and my brother is difficult to enter the eyes of his predecessors. But well...... , Hmph, I don't know Han's seniors...... What ...... 'Lian Po is old, can he still eat?'" The last sentence, he didn't care if what he said was accurate or not, anyway, he wanted to make a war letter to Han Shen.

When Han Shen heard that the four people in front of him were the famous "Eight Murderers of Lingnan", he felt a "sigh" in his heart. Although he does not walk in the rivers and lakes, he still has a little hearing about what is happening on the rivers and lakes. Twenty years ago, there was a martial arts master in Nanhai County, Guangdong, who was less than thirty years old but called himself "Lingnan Laosuo", and got eight general corner teenagers overnight, named Yin Feng, Wu Yun, Jin Lei, Ji Dian, Bao Yu, Shan Xue, Han Bing, Yan Shuang, known as the "Lingnan Eight Heroes", taught them martial arts skills, hoping to overwhelm the major sects and dominate the martial arts. After more than ten years of encouragement, these eight people, including wind, clouds, thunder, lightning, rain, snow, ice, and frost, have all ranked among the ranks of super-first-class masters, not only with high martial arts, but also ruthless and shameless. After his debut, he relied on his strong martial arts, bullied men and women, and did all kinds of evil, and was known as the "Eight Murderers of Lingnan". "Lingnan Old Monsters" (the martial arts people's contemptuous name for "Lingnan Old Monsters") not only did not restrain them, but instead encouraged them to do evil everywhere. The various factions on the rivers and lakes could not bear it, and under the leadership of the two top masters, they joined forces to attack and vowed to eliminate harm for the martial arts. In the first battle of Xiqiao Mountain, due to being outnumbered, the "Lingnan Old Monster" was forced to commit suicide by jumping off the cliff, and the "eight murders" of wind, clouds, thunder, lightning, rain, snow, ice and frost escaped by luck and disappeared from then on. didn't want to be silent for many years, but was caught by Liang Fang and reappeared in the rivers and lakes.

But Han Shen didn't know that the "Lingnan Eight Murderers" and Liang Fang actually had a great relationship: the master of the "Lingnan Eight Murderers" "Lingnan Old Monster" was Liang Fang's uncle. When Liang Fang entered the master's door, the "Lingnan Old Monster" had not yet accepted apprentices, but only taught the martial arts of his disciples on behalf of the senior brother, and Liang Fang was one of them, so Liang Fang was both respectful and fearful of the "Lingnan Old Monster". After the death of Liang Fang's master, the "Lingnan Old Monster" was uncontrolled, and his evil deeds were gradually revealed, and his disciples could not bear his bullying, and they scattered one after another. Only then did the lonely "Lingnan old monster" get eight people, including wind, clouds, thunder, lightning, rain, snow, ice, and frost, to teach martial arts and do wrong.

"Hehe, it turned out to be the notorious 'Lingnan Eight Murderers', but the old man was blindsided. Han Shen was perfunctory while thinking about countermeasures.

"Master Han doesn't have to talk nonsense, hand over what we want, and everything will be over. If not, hmph, don't blame you for being rude. Liang De intercepted Han Shen's words.

The old man still said the same thing, what does Liang Qianhu want, and please make it clear, as long as the old man has this thing, he will give it away. Knowing that a vicious war is inevitable, Han Shen still continues to show weakness, and fights psychological warfare first.

"Lord Han, you should know the situation today, if you don't hand over those two letters, your family will not want to leave this Daqi Mountain alive. Liang De finally couldn't hold back and stopped playing dumb riddles with Han Shen.

"Letters, what letters, Liang Qianhu has found the wrong person, the old man doesn't even do the squire of the military department, what kind of letters are rare?" Han Shen continued to perfunctory in his mouth, but he was secretly calculating in his heart, not to mention that those two letters had been taken to the border by Xia Yao, even if they were in his hands, they could not be handed over. Today, there is only one battle between us and the enemy. However, the kung fu of the "Eight Fierce Men of Lingnan" should not be underestimated, and with his own martial arts, he fought alone with Wu Yun, who had the highest martial arts among the four fierce men, and the odds of victory were only five or five; Shen Qing and Zhao Xin joined forces, and the enemy might be a murderer. In addition to the other two murderers, Liang De's martial arts are also extraordinary, the three of them shot, without blinking an eye, and several of their own women and children are at short risk.

However, Han Shen is not an ordinary martial artist, but a soldier who is proficient in strategy. Art of War: Strong and avoid. The enemy in front of us is strong and I am weak, and we can't calculate how to win, so we can only plan a way to escape. However, when the enemy rode on horseback, his own carriage had no advantage of escaping, and if he turned around and ran back to the original road, not only would he waste precious time, but the road would be narrow and heavy, and it would be impossible to turn around. The only way to do this is to take the opponent's horse by surprise. Once you lose your leg strength, no matter how subtle you are, your internal strength will not last, and it is not impossible to get rid of the enemy temporarily. It's just that two fists are hard to beat four hands, and if you succeed in a sneak attack, the other party will come back to your senses, and you will definitely be flanked, not only can you not sneak attack twice, but it will be difficult for you to retreat. I have to find a way to let the two disciples know their plan, and the three of them will attack at the same time.

Just as he was hesitating, Mrs. Zhou came to her side and said:

"Master, what kind of letter is so important? We have received the emperor's favor, and we have taken off our official clothes and become grass people, except for gold and silver, books and letters have become waste paper. Since Lord Liang asked for it, it was better to give it to him. Save us, the old and weak women and children, from suffering halfway through. ”

As he spoke, he privately used the kung fu of "transmitting sound into secret" and said to Han Shen: "Thirty-six plans, go for the best plan." Chop off their horses' legs, let Qing'er and them rush out, and we will break off. ”

When Han Shen heard this, his wife coincided with his plan, but how could he let a woman put herself in danger? Not to mention that he had no hope of surviving today, and this old and young still wanted her to be in charge. So he hurriedly said, "Madam, this matter must not be done. ”

Liang De listened to the conversation between his husband and wife, thinking that Han Shen had prevented his wife from handing over the letter, and hurriedly said:

"It's still Governor Han Mingli, isn't Lord Han less knowledgeable than the woman? ”

Without waiting for Han Shen to speak, Mrs. Han took over the topic and said, "Yes, when you left the capital, your lord hid a small box in the carriage, presumably it was the letter or something." The old body doesn't believe what kind of treasure it is, and it deserves to be so mysterious and mysterious to the old man? Lord Liang is waiting, and the old body will take it for you. ”

After that, he turned around and walked to the carriage, intentionally or unintentionally moved the carriage to the side of the road, winked at Xiao Han Ming in the car, and pretended to scold: "The child goes to my sister's car, don't hinder the old lady from finding the small box." ”

After Xiao Han Ming climbed into his sister Han Mei's carriage, Mrs. Han took out a small box from the carriage, threw it at Liang De, and said, "Lord Liang, the letter is inside." ”

Taking advantage of Liang De's distraction, he turned his head and whispered to Han Shen: "Master, hurry!"

The arrow is wound. The time is fleeting.

Han Shen didn't care about weighing the gains and losses at this time, and the husband and wife rushed towards Liang De as fast as lightning, swinging their swords together, cutting Liang De's mount to the ground.

Wu, Jin, Bao, and Shan saw Han Shen and his wife attacking Liang De, and hurriedly urged their horses to surround them, preparing to rescue Liang De.

As soon as Han Shen and his wife saw the four fierce people surrounding, they suddenly turned around, raised their swords, and slashed, all in one go, and in the blink of an eye, the four mounts fell to the ground with a bang.

"Qing'er, Xin'er, let's go!" Han Shen shouted.

When Liang De and the others came back to their senses, Shen Qing and Zhao Xin each jumped into a carriage, and the carriage of "driving" and "getting ......" had already rushed out of ten zhang away and disappeared.

"Wu, Jin, and Shan are three scattered people, you deal with their husbands and wives. Bao Sanren, we chased the carriage. Liang De was furious.

"Want to go? It's not that easy. waited for the five of them to go up together, and then they had an appetite for the old man. Han Shen and his wife raised the tip of their swords slightly, blocking their way. The two of them combined their swords, and suddenly the sword light skyrocketed, encircling all five people in the sword shadow.

Wu Yun and the others were careless, the boat capsized in the gutter, and was attacked by Han Shen and them, if it weren't for their martial arts skills and jumping away before the mount fell to the ground, they would have become a rolling gourd just now. But the "Lingnan Eight Murders" is not in vain, Rao is Han Shen and his wife are very powerful, under the "Four Murders" and Liang De's five people, they are immediately dwarfed, and the combined sword style is full of flaws. If it goes on like this, within a hundred moves, the husband and wife will be splashed with blood on the spot.

Han Shen and his wife were swordsman, and Liang De and Bao Yu immediately left Han Shen and his wife behind, and hurriedly chased in the direction where the carriage disappeared. As soon as Liang and Bao left, the strength of the two sides disappeared from the other, the pressure of Han Shen and his wife plummeted, and the combination of the two swords was smooth and smooth, and the five of them fought for a while.

Han Shen and his wife knew in their hearts that once they were caught up by Liang De and Bao Yu, the Shen Qing brothers would definitely not be their opponents. Therefore, they didn't dare to fight, the two whispered, and with a move, "Xianle Wind Drifts Everywhere", the two swords turned into countless sword shadows, stabbing towards the face, chest, and lower abdomen of the three murderers, forcing them to retreat half a step. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two of them did not advance but retreated, jumped into the carriage, and slapped the sword on the horse's back, "Got-", and the carriage rushed out of Zhangyu.

The three murderers hurriedly performed the swallow flying technique, rose up, and rushed towards the carriage. Han Shen didn't allow them to climb into the carriage, and the long sword in his hand swept away, forcing the three of them out of the carriage. The three of them landed and jumped up on the carriage, and Han Shen also swung his long sword to force them back. If this is the case repeatedly, the three of them gradually felt that their internal strength was weak, and they gradually chased after the carriage.

got rid of the three murders, Han Shen and his wife did not relax, and continued to beat the horse and gallop. It didn't take long to find that there were two black dots in front of him that were rapidly enlarged, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into two figures, rushing forward without a point. Han Shen knew that it was Liang De and Bao Yu, and when he caught up, he split his sword and stabbed it. Liang and Bao were suddenly attacked, and they didn't have time to make a move, so a lazy donkey rolled around and avoided the blade.

Han Shen didn't chase after him, and still drove wildly. He shouted to them, "Your comrades are seriously wounded, why don't you go to the rescue?" ”

The two were about to attack the carriage, when they heard Han Shen shouting like this, they were stunned for a moment, and the carriage had galloped out a few feet away. The two of them knew that they had been deceived, and hurriedly chased after them, but they had already run for a while, and their internal strength was limited, so they could only watch the carriage gradually move away.

After Han Shen and his wife drove and ran for a while, the two horses were sweating all over their bodies, and the sound of wheezing gradually sounded, knowing that the horses were extremely tired, but they didn't dare to stop. After running for tea again, I suddenly saw a carriage crooked on the side of the road, and the two horses in front of the carriage fell to the ground. There was no one in the car, presumably Qing'er, Xin'er and the five of them had already shared a car. I thought that in this way, the speed would be slow.

Sure enough, they soon saw a carriage in front of them.

The horses had no strength left, and the ruts left by the carriage were too obvious, so they had to abandon the cart and flee. Han Shen looked up and saw a ruined temple not far away, so he drove to catch up with Shen Qing and them, untied the reins of the horse, and let the horse leave on its own. Then he led everyone to the ruined temple.

Looking at his old wife, young son, daughter (righteous daughter) and grandson, Han Shen felt a heart-wrenching pain. Because of his carelessness, he caused the family to be displaced, which is somewhat regrettable. Han Shen made up his mind that today he could only use his old body to pave a life channel for his family. He looked around at his wife, children, sons-in-law, and grandsons, and called the two disciples to his side, and said to them:

"Qing'er, Xin'er, although you are my disciples and sons-in-law, since I adopted you, I have regarded you as my own. Today, a strong enemy is coming, and it is really difficult for our family to retreat. Today, I entrust you with your sister, sister, brother and Xue'er, hoping that you will lead them through this catastrophe safely and find a secret place to settle down. ”

"No, Master, there is something for the disciple to do his job. Let the senior sister take the junior brother and sister away, and we will stay with the master to kill the enemy side by side. Shen and Zhao cried and said.

Without waiting for Han Shen to say more, Mrs. Han said: "Qing'er, Xin'er, your martial arts have not been successful, and it is useless to stay, so you can only give your life in vain." It's better for the master to stay and stand shoulder to shoulder with your master. ”

"No, ma'am, you all go, I'll be enough. Forgive him, the rat generation can't pass the old man's level. ”

"Old man, you don't have to be tough. If you are left alone, you will not be able to escape their pursuit. Only when the two of us combine our swords can we fight for a glimmer of life for Qing'er and them. ”

Why didn't Han Shen know this? It's just that he couldn't bear to let his old wife accompany him to his death. So far, that's all it can be. He turned to the two disciples and said:

"Your sister is right, you take your sister and brother and leave quickly. Remember, if Master and Sister can't save their lives today, after you settle down your junior brothers and sisters, you will go to Ningxia to find Uncle Xia Yao, try to find out the secret of those two letters, and work with Uncle Xia Yao to hoe out the traitorous party and protect the country and the people. Have you made a note of it?"

"Remember Master's teachings. ”

"Mei'er, come over here. ”

"Daddy. Han Mei hugged Xiao Shen Ji in her arms, walked over crying, and cried on Han Shen's chest.

"Mei'er, don't cry, listen to Daddy. ”

"The strong enemy is in front, and I ...... with your mother today. As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. The 'Eight Fierce Lingnan Murderers' are all extraordinary, and with your current martial arts, they are no match for them at all. If you don't learn martial arts well, you are not allowed to take revenge lightly, otherwise you will be unfilial. Do you remember?" said Han Shen sharply.

Han Mei and the others nodded in agreement while crying.

Han Shen took out two booklets from his arms, looked at them, handed one of them to Shen Qing, and one to Han Mei, and said:

"I taught you martial arts on weekdays, but I didn't explain to you what martial arts were. The martial arts contained in these two booklets are called 'Sword Sword', which is evolved from your mother's distant ancestor Zhou Dong based on the martial arts 'Sword Double Kill' created by Dugu Yihe, a deceased minister of the 'Jinpeng Dynasty'. One of them is 'Luan Pu' for men to practice, and the other is 'Feng Pu' for women to practise. Although the moves contained in the two volumes of 'Luan' and 'Phoenix' are different, the power of the male and female swords can be increased several times when the sword is combined. It's a pity that Master and your Master have limited understanding, and they have only learned a little bit of skin, so that the offensive and defensive lines are not smooth enough, and the combination of the two swords is only unsatisfactory. Otherwise, how can there be a chance for such a thief as the 'Lingnan Eight Murderers' to be arrogant? Now that you have learned all the moves, all you lack is fire. In the future, it is necessary to practice diligently and carry forward the sword technique. ”

After speaking, he pulled Han Ming to his side, touched his head caressingly, and said to Han Mei and the others:

"Ming'er is still young, and I can't rest assured. If your mother and I can't survive, I hope you will teach him strictly and train him to become talented. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to wipe away Han Ming's tears, and said softly: "Ming'er is already twelve years old and is a man, in the future, he will follow his sister and senior brother to work hard, and when he grows up, he will be like his father and be a big man who stands up to the sky." ”

"Daddy, mother. "Master, Master. "Father-in-law, stepmother. ”

Everyone cried together, and the corners of Han Shen and his wife's eyes also flushed with red tides.

"Children, there is no time to grieve. The thieves will find this place in a moment. Run forward from there, remember, don't turn back, or you won't be blind. Speaking of the latter sentence, Mrs. Han's tone was extremely cold.

"Senior sister, give me Ji'er, you take care of Brother Ming. ”

Han Mei nodded silently, handed Shen Ji in her arms to Shen Qing, Shen Qing stuffed the sword book into the swaddling clothes, tore off a few strips of cloth from the cloak, and tied Shen Ji firmly on his back. Life and death, the future is uncertain, Han Mei reluctantly kissed Xiao Shen Ji's pink face, took out a half-heart-shaped jade with a hollow phoenix from her neck, and put it on Xiao Shen Ji's neck. Seeing this, Shen Qing also took out a jade bi with a hollow dragon in the same shape from his neck and put it on Han Mei's neck.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but sigh again.

Mrs. Han approached Shen Qing, touched her little grandson, then pushed her out and said resolutely: "Children, go from behind, don't look back." ”

"Daddy, mother. There was a cry in the temple.

"Let's go. Han Shen and Mrs. Han shouted angrily in unison.

"Want to leave, I'm afraid it's not that easy. A gloomy voice entered the temple.

Han Shen and Mrs. Han slashed their swords in their hands, and finally glanced at Han Mei and them, turned around and jumped out of the broken temple.

"If you want to get in, let's get past our level first. Han Shen pulled his long sword and shook out several sword flowers, forcing Liang De and the others to retreat.

Among Liang De's group of five, Wu Yun's cultivation was slightly higher. After a period of fighting just now, I secretly thought that the three of them would still deal with Han Shen and his wife, and it would be impossible to tell who would win and who would lose within a thousand moves, if they wanted to escape, the strength of the three of them might not be able to stay. So he said to Liang De:

"Lord Liang, those people are dragged down by women and children, and they can't run anywhere. It's better for everyone to go up together and solve these two old ones first. ”

Liang De's martial arts are much worse than the "Eight Murderers of Lingnan", and it is only by virtue of his identity as the "master" that he becomes the "leader" of the five, and he still relies on the martial arts of the "Four Murderers". So among these people, it is Wu Yun who really speaks. Wu Yunyi said, whether he wanted it or not, Liang De could only nod in agreement.

So the five of them joined forces and surrounded Han Shen and his wife.

In the martial arts, people fight, pay attention to body movement, advance and retreat in an orderly manner. If it is not for the disparity in skill, it is all at the beginning of the point, one to test the opponent's reality, the other to consume the opponent's energy, and wait until the opponent's bottom line or the opponent's true strength is exhausted, before performing a stunt and defeating the enemy with one move.

But today is different, Han Shen and his wife have long put life and death aside. As soon as they clashed, they frequently used killers, regardless of whether they were injured or not, and only wanted to inflict heavy losses on the enemy. Regarding the lose-lose style of Han Shen and his wife, Liang De and the other five were unwilling to respond. Therefore, for a while, a situation was formed in which Han Shen and his wife attacked, and Liang De and other five people defended, but the situation was dominated by Han Shen and his wife. But this advantage only lasted for about a stick of incense, Han Shen and his wife consumed a lot of internal strength, the offensive gradually weakened, and there was no defense, which gave the other party an opportunity to take advantage of, and after a while, the husband and wife were already scarred and bloodstained all over their bodies. However, under their serial killing moves, the other party also paid a heavy price: the second murderer Wu Yun's left shoulder blade was stabbed by Mrs. Han's long sword, and the blood flowed; the fifth murderer Bao Yu's thigh was cut off by Han Shen A large piece of skin and flesh was deeply visible; and the little finger of the right hand of the sixth murderer Shan Xue was cut off by Qi Gen, and he has been disabled ever since.

At this time, Wu Yun took advantage of the moment when Han Shen's and his wife's swords shrank, and the folding fan in his hand suddenly closed and pointed at Mrs. Han's throat. Mrs. Han was stabbing at Shan Xue with her sword, and she didn't see the folding fan near her throat. Seeing that his wife was in distress, Han Shen's long sword beside him flicked it, and Wu Yun's folding fan passed through Mrs. Han's sideburns, but fortunately the flesh and skin were not injured. But in order to relieve his wife's danger, Han Shen exposed a vacancy in front of him, and was hit by Shan Xue's long Xiao in the middle of the waist Yu acupoint, and his body was suddenly sore.

As soon as Shan Xue succeeded, several other people resorted to killing Han Shen and his wife on the spot.

"Madam, aren't we too lonely on Huangquan Road?"

Listening to Han Shenyi, Mrs. Han already understood her intentions and knew that she had reached the last moment. Without any hesitation, he replied, "Then bring a few minions." ”

After that, the two of them joined forces, ignoring the attacks of Wu Yun and the other four, looked at the three "fierce" Jin Lei in front of him, and used the killing move of "cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for fun", and the two swords went up and down, piercing his heart and lower abdomen at the same time. Jin Lei wailed, fell to the ground on his back, and suddenly settled the account.

The husband and wife attacked with all their might, and their backs were exposed. Mrs. Han's heart was hit by Wu Yun and Bao Yu at the same time, and she immediately fell to the ground and died of anger.

At the same time, Shan Xue and Liang De stabbed Han Shen in the back. Han Shen didn't have time to draw his sword, grabbed Chang Xiao with his backhand, kicked his leg back, and kicked Shan Xue out of the way. But after all, he lacked skills, and Liang De's big knife slashed on the thigh and embedded it in the leg bone. Liang De couldn't pull out his sword, and hurriedly jumped away.

It's too late, it's too soon, it's all just a matter of time. Han Shen watched his wife fall beside him, his blood was swelling, he reached out and pulled down the steel knife embedded in his leg bone, shouted angrily, and pounced on Bao Yu. Before he could pounce in front of Bao Yu, Wu Yun, Shan Xue, and Liang De slapped their palms together, and all their internal organs were shattered.

Han Shen was still breathing, turned his head and glanced in the direction where the children had fled, then bit the tip of his tongue, spurting out a large mouthful of blood with a "poof", pouring the last remaining strength into his right hand, and even the person with a knife struggled to pounce on Bao Yu, who was close at hand. Bao Yu didn't think that Han Shen's dying person was still trapped and fighting, caught off guard, and was knocked down by Han Shen, seeing that the big knife was about to be cut off on the head, he stretched out his right hand to block in a panic, only to hear a muffled sound of "bang", and in the blood rain, one arm fell three feet away.

Wu Yun and the other three leaned over to inspect, Han Shen had no breath, and Bao Yu's right hand was broken off with his forearm, and he lost too much blood and fainted.

Wu Yun took out the trauma elixir he carried with him and helped Bao Yu stop bleeding and bandage. Then from the back into the true qi, Bao Yu sighed and woke up slowly.

"Fifth brother, how do you feel?" Seeing Bao Yu wake up, Wu Yun asked.

"Thank you, second brother, it's ...... I can't die yet. "Bao Yu is weak.

"Wu Sanren, look at ......" Liang De wanted to speak and stopped.

Wu Yun understood that Liang De was urging. According to the character of the "Eight Murderers of Lingnan," they naturally will not let others drive them, not to mention the death of a brother? But now that there are strict orders, where do they dare to disobey them?

Wu Yun thought for a while and asked Shan Xue, "Sixth brother, is your injury important?"

"Second brother, I don't want to do anything. ”

"That being the case, I bothered the sixth brother to accompany the fifth brother to Huangzhou City, find an inn to live in and heal, and Lord Liang and I went to chase Shen Qing and them. Lord Liang, what do you think?"

"That's very good. ”

Sending Bao Yu and Shan Xue away, the two hastily buried Jin Lei, and then chased Shen Qing in the direction where they fled.

......

When Han Shen and his wife blocked Liang De and the others in front of the broken temple, Shen Qing and Zhao Xin took Han Mei, Han Ming and Xia Xue to jump out of the window behind the broken temple, looking east and fleeing aimlessly. After passing Mt. Osaki, there was no way to hide, so they had to keep running forward.

After running for about two or three hours, I saw the shadow of the mountain in the southeast direction, and asked the passers-by about it, and I knew that the mountain was in the territory of Qizhou, called Bijia Mountain, with a radius of 100 miles, and there were 28 large and small peaks. Shen Qing and they were overjoyed, as long as they fled into this mountain, it would be the dragon returning to the sea and the tiger entering the mountains and forests, not to mention Liang De and the other five people, even if there were thousands of troops and horses, it would not be easy to search for a few traces of people in the towering mountains.

Just when everyone was overjoyed, a river lay in front of them. This river is called Ba River, also known as Ba Shui, which is the boundary river of Huanggang, Qishui and Luotian counties under the jurisdiction of Huangzhou Prefecture. In the first month, before the wet season, the river is not wide, and the current is not urgent, but to cross the river, you need to use the convenience of the boat. Shen Qing and the others looked into the river and saw a small boat carrying three or five people, rowing towards the opposite bank in the center of the river.

Shen Qing hurriedly shouted to the Jiangxin boat: "Uh——, boatman, please row the boat back and cross us over——。 ”

"Guest officer, please wait for a while——, I will send these people across the river, and come back to cross you——。 ”

"No, boatman, we have something urgent, you can do a favor, we will double the fare——。 ”

"Guest, please wait, I'll be here soon." ”

While the two sides were shouting, the boat traveled a few more feet, much closer to the other side. I had no choice but to hope that the boatman would turn around early.

At this moment, an eerie voice came from high on the riverbank: "If the boatman does not cross the river, the official will overtake you and go over there." Before the words fell, Liang De and Wu Yun had already come to the eyes.

Shen Qing and Zhao Xin held their swords in their hands, blocking Han Mei, Han Ming, and Xia Xue behind them.

"Thief, how are my master and my wife?"

"I'm waiting for you on the bridge. Hmph, the two old things not only hurt my fifth brother, but also my third brother...... Today I want a few of you to be buried with my third brother. Wu Yun said, the folding fan opened, and slashed towards Zhao Xin's neck, Zhao Xin hurriedly raised his sword to separate them, only to hear the sound of "dang", the sword and fan intersected, making a metallic sound. Wu Yun's upper body shook, and Zhao Xin "kicked, kicked, kicked" and took three steps back.

Liang De was not idle, raised his knife to look at Shen Qing and slashed, Shen Qing made a move "towards green silk twilight into snow", first using the sword as a knife, facing Liang De's blade and slashing over, the moment the two knives were about to intersect, Shen Qing's knife style suddenly resumed the sword style, and stabbed Liang De's right shoulder. Liang De couldn't change his move, so he hurriedly withdrew his sword and jumped back, dodging Shen Qing's sword.

When Han Mei heard that her father and mother had died in battle, she cried "Dad-mother-", pushed her younger brother Han Ming to Xia Xue's side, pulled out the sword in her baggage, pinched a sword trick, and stepped forward to stab at Wu Yun. This sword came just in time, otherwise if Wu Yun took advantage of the victory to pursue, Zhao Xin would inevitably be injured under Wu Yun's fan.

Zhao Xin and Han Mei are brothers and sisters in the same family, and the martial arts they practice are the family heirloom sword skills, although the skills of the two are still shallow, but at this time, the combination of the two swords has greatly increased their power, and Wu Yun is quite afraid of this kind of martial arts that are like knives and not knives, and swords are not swords, so the two sides can fight a tie.

Over there, Shen Qing relied on the wonderful move of "sword double kill" to seize the opportunity. After a few moves, Liang De saw that Shen Qing was carrying swaddling clothes, and he never dared to turn around, and his body was inevitably sluggish. He no longer attacked Shen Qing, but used plum blossom steps to sneak attack the baby behind Shen Qing. As a result, Shen Qing took care of one thing and lost the other, and gradually fell into a disadvantage. At this time, Liang De turned behind Shen Qing again, lifted the tip of the knife from the bottom to the top, cut off the cloth belt that bound the swaddling clothes, and took advantage of the falling trend of the swaddling clothes, stretched out his right foot and picked it up, picked the swaddling clothes into the air, and fell diagonally towards the river. Fortunately, the river flow was slow, and the baby was wrapped in a thick quilt, which was very buoyant, and the swaddling clothes fell into the river, not sinking, but slowly flowing downstream along the river.

When Shen Qing saw the swaddling clothes falling into the river, he was in a hurry, and "brushed" a few swords to force Liang De back, and wanted to go to the river to rescue his son. Liang De saw Shen Qing turn around, revealing an empty door behind him, he was overjoyed, and with a big knife in his hand, he looked at Shen Qing's back and cut it off. Shen Qing was anxious, his mind was still quite clear, and he felt the strong wind behind him, so he hurriedly turned around to resolve it. Seeing the swaddling clothes flowing farther and farther, they disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Ji'er-", Han Mei saw that her son was picked up in the middle of the river, screamed, threw down the long sword in her hand, and was about to jump into the river to chase after her. Unbeknownst to him, as soon as the combination of the two swords was gone, Wu Yun took the opportunity to "move the wind in all directions" with one move, forced Zhao Xin to take two steps back, folded the fan in a circle, and forced Han Mei back to the same place.

Suddenly, Han Mei's mind went blank, and she saw that Wu Yun's folding fan was about to pierce the fossa, but she didn't react. In a hurry, Zhao Xin bullied up and pushed Han Mei away......

The words are divided into two ends. Let's say that Shen Qing saw that the swaddling clothes disappeared and was about to rush to the rescue, but Liang De was entangled, hated in his heart, let out a long howl, picked up a sword flower, and killed Liang De. The kung fu of the two was between the two of them, and Shen Qing had his beloved son on his back before, tied his hands and feet, and was successfully attacked by Liang De, picking off his beloved son in the river. Now that the swaddling clothes on his back are gone, he is no longer restrained, and the hatred of losing his son has aroused his fighting spirit and potential, coupled with the strange move of "sword double killing", under his stormy attack, Liang De is powerless to fight back. Fortunately, at this time, Shen Qing only wanted to save his son, and when he saw that Liang De was defeated, he turned downstream to find it. Where is Liang De willing to give up? Shen Qing wanted to look for traces of swaddling clothes from the river, and his light work was inevitably greatly reduced, and he was caught up by Liang De after a while. Helplessly stopped and fought again, Liang De was defeated by Shen Qing's crazy attack, and was defeated again; Liang De was defeated and retreated, and Shen Qing continued to pursue the swaddling clothes...... , which gritted Shen Qing's steel teeth with hatred, and shouted: "Liangde thief, since your ghost is not gone, the master will send you to the underworld today." The sword stabbed at Liang De. Liang De wanted to do it again and avoid his edge, but he didn't know that this time Shen Qing Tie was determined to take his life, and his move was aimed at the key point. For a while, Liang De was in a hurry, staggering left and right, only to hear the sound of "poof", blood flashed, and Shen Qing stabbed Liang De's Zhongfu acupoint with a sword, more than a few inches deep. Liang De was in pain, and the steel knife fell to the ground with a "clanging bell". Liang De was shocked, turned around and ran, and fled without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Shen Qing picked up the steel knife, threw it into the river with a "whoosh", and strode downstream to find it.

Along the way, I saw that the river was leisurely, except for three or two cold dogs playing in the water from time to time, there was nothing on the river surface. Shen Qing was afraid that the time would be too long, and the swaddling clothes would be far away, so he used light skills and accelerated to run forward. In less than an hour, it has been chased to the end of the Ba River, and the river water that originally flowed gently once it joined the Yangtze River, it was discharged rapidly with the river water, and the river surface was turbulent and turbid. Looking at the river going east, Shen Qing's legs weakened, he leaned down and knelt on the ground, shouting sadly: "Ji'er-". Touching the ground with his head, he wept silently.

After a long time, Shen Qing's prostrated body was shocked, and he suddenly remembered that his junior brother and junior sister were fighting against a strong enemy, and he didn't know what was going on now. He slowly stood up with the support of his sword, and looked affectionately into the distance of the river again, tears could not stop slipping from his eyes again.

Shen Qing was physically and mentally exhausted, although he was anxious, his legs seemed to be weighing a thousand pounds, and he had no strength, so he had to move slowly step by step. I don't know how long I walked, but I walked to the place where I met the enemy just now, and I saw that on the white sand of the river beach, there was a little blood, but there was no trace.

"Senior Brother—Senior Sister—"

"Xue'er—Brother Ming—"

No matter how Shen Qing shouted, there was no echo around the empty area.

In the vast twilight, Shen Qing wanted to cry without tears, the blood in his body slowly coagulated, he felt cold, lonely, helpless, and even more exhausted, desperately hoping to fall asleep and never wake up.

Shen Qing pulled out his long sword, threw away the scabbard, put the blade on his left shoulder and neck, and once again cast his eyes into the distance along the slowly flowing river, and muttered in his mouth: "Ji'er, don't be afraid, Daddy is here with you." With that, his eyes closed slightly, and the sword in his right hand slashed towards his neck......

"Ding-". With a strong force, the long sword was swinged.

Shen Qing opened his eyes, and not far away, a gray-clothed man of the same age as himself, with his hands in front of his chest, was walking towards him.

"You...... Why did you save me?"

"Why should I save you? Even if I want to save you, can I save a person who is intent on dying? A man who is intent on dying always has a chance, who can follow him twelve hours a day?" said the man expressionlessly.

"Since...... Then why did you knock my sword away?" Shen Qing said helplessly.

"That's because I don't want you to die here. Who wouldn't 'kill themselves'? But that's a coward's doing. The man was suddenly a little excited, and the halberd pointed around, and then said: "In this radius of dozens of miles, there are many hungry people, those who have been bullied, those whose wives have been separated, and whose families have been ruined. Everyone lives very tired, but they all live strongly, they would rather choose to fight against fate, fight against evil, than choose to escape, this is the folk customs here. If you set a precedent for suicide today, maybe tomorrow there will be corpses all over the river. The dignified seven-foot body is like the old woman in the village, who will seek death and life at the slightest tribulation, if your family knows, they will only be ashamed of you. ”

The words were like a slap in the face, setting off waves in Shen Qing's heart. The blood of the master and the mother has not been avenged, the life and death of the wife and brother are uncertain, and the master's deathbed words are still in my ears, how can I die?

Shen Qing stood up and bowed deeply to the man: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." I was taught under it. ”

"Not dead?"

"Not dead. ”

"Hehe, this is the true nature of a husband. As the saying goes, life has been difficult since ancient times, and who has lived in peace for a hundred years. The eldest husband stands between heaven and earth, when the frustration becomes stronger and stronger, happy and enmity, and must not follow the example of those who steal peace, and hope that the brother will remember. The man said, "Haha" smiled, gave up his hand, and groaned loudly as he walked:

"Whew! Bad luck and bad fate. Feng Tang is easy to be old, and Li Guang is difficult to seal. Qu Jiayi is in Changsha, not without a holy master; Liang Hong is in Haiqu, is there no time to know? When you are old and strong, you would rather move the heart of the white head, be poor and strong, and do not fall into the ambition of the clouds. Drink the greedy spring and feel refreshed, and be happy when it dries up. Although Beihai is credit, Fuyao can be received; the east corner has passed away, and it is not too late for mulberry elms. Meng tastes noble and noble, and has spare time to serve the country; Ruan Ji is rampant, how can he cry at the end of the road!"

Shen Qing was ashamed when he heard this.

At this moment, although he is still immersed in the great grief of the separation of his wife and the destruction of his family, he no longer has the previous mood of discouragement. He decided to go to the capital first to find out the whereabouts of his wife and brother (in his consciousness, his wife and brother had already been taken captive by Liang De and them), and then go to Ningxia to find Uncle Xia Yao and fight a duel to the death against Liang Fang's eunuchs.

The sky was getting dark. The sunset, which was about to sink into the top of the mountain, reflected in the sky shrouded in dark clouds, revealing several rays of light. Shen Qing returned his sword to the sheath and strode towards the north.

......

Three months later, the imperial court sent a special envoy to appease the envoys, the eunuch Huai'en returned to the capital, and played the emperor, the Mongolian Dayan Khan Batu Munk was grateful to the Celestial Empire, and was willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty for generations and never invade. Emperor Zhu Jianshen was overjoyed after hearing this, and rewarded Huai'en and accompanied him. Subsequently, he approved the performance of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Military Department, and ordered the military attachés Ximen Feng, Leng Wubing, and Xiahou Shuang to serve as the garrison generals of Ningxia Left Tun Guard, Right Tun Guard, and Ningxia Avant-garde. In the following year, Batu Munk once again tore up the covenant that had not dried the ink, gathered 50,000 horses and horses to attack the Davids in Ningxia, Ximen Feng, Leng Wubing, Xiahou Shuang and other troops were defeated without a fight, and were lured to surrender by Batu Munke, and the left tunwei, the right tunwei and the Ningxia avant-garde fell into the hands of the enemy one after another. After learning of the military situation, the commander-in-chief Xia Yao led his troops to counterattack, crushing tens of thousands of Tatar elite soldiers, forcing Batumunk to beg for peace again. However, he killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 himself, although he defeated the Tatar army, Xia Yao's troops were also at the end of the crossbow, and they were unable to recover the fallen guards. In the end, it was reported to the imperial court, and the war ended peacefully with the Tatar tribes taking actual control of the occupied Zhuwei and paying tribute every year......
