Through the hazy yellow color, a fat man wearing a crown and hat answered: "It's me, if you don't lay down your arms, don't resist anymore, and then you will start to move, I am afraid that this horn land will be wiped out in an instant, or surrender quickly, and obediently follow me back to the official mansion." ”

Yan Mubai turned his face and asked, "Who is this person?" ”

Fan Xiao said: "This person is the state capital here, and his name is Ma. ”

Yan Mubai pondered for a moment and said: "If we can catch this person, this crisis can be eliminated, I will think of provoking trouble later, you find a few people who are skilled in martial arts, but are not proficient in sword moves, wait for me to intercept this person." ”

Fan Xiao's heart sank, and said: "Rushing out of the encirclement, it's not enough, how can you still capture the enemy's head." ”

But seeing that Yan Mubai's eyes were indifferent, his expression was free, as if he had a clever plan in it, he didn't dare to say much at the moment, turned his head and ordered, and waited for the opportunity.

Yan Mubai shouted loudly: "Master Ma, we have enough bows and arrows here, and everyone has poisonous water in their hands, you must have heard of this poison before, blindly attacking, just afraid of losing both." ”

Before Ma Ming came here, he was told that the grass was accustomed to strange poisons, and he had been prevaricating again and again, and he was reluctant to come, but now he heard that he was shocked, and he was timid, and said in his heart: "What this person said is reasonable, if he attacks, he can win in a few days and nights, but the poisonous arrows are running around, but he can't protect me from one of the thousands, these people in the rivers and lakes, everyone has been rewarded and comes, how is the skill, it still needs to be verified, and they will give their lives to their hands, but stupid people will do it." ”

Thinking of this, he said, "I don't know what you think?"

The corners of Yan Mubai's mouth lightly raised: "I heard that there are three masters in the hands of adults, and we are not talented in Qingfeng Village, but one or two people who are good at martial arts can always fight with one of them, why don't I make a bet to avoid this fight?"

Ma Ming frowned, paced back and forth a few times, and said, "Okay, let's hear it." ”

Yan Mubai said: "We each sent three people, six people a game, a fair competition, if we lose, voluntarily abandon the sword, surrender to you, if you are defeated, withdraw the army outside the valley, from now on, we will not commit any crimes, you will never send troops to suppress what?"

Ma Ming, "This person's method can indeed minimize casualties, but if they fail, will they really stick to their promise and never commit a crime?"

Yan Mubai continued: "Don't worry, Lord Ma, we people in the rivers and lakes have the heaviest promise, saying that if we don't commit any more crimes, we will definitely do it, from the alliance leader to the pawn in the martial arts, even if the Jiangyang thieves who are even worse than us will keep their promises, although Lord Ma is not involved in the rivers and lakes, I guess I still know this." ”

Ma Ming thought to himself: "This person is right, they are people in the rivers and lakes, they can kill people and plunder, but even if they are full of evil, if they don't respect their promises, they will definitely be looked down upon, and they will not be able to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes without faith." ”

He was sure in his heart and said, "Okay, I'll answer this bet." ”

Arching his hand to the three people riding in front of him, he said, "It's up to the three." ”

The three of them jumped down on one side, and walked a few steps towards the Green Bee Village, Fan Xiao waved his hand to summon the three of them: "If you can fight, you can fight, if you can't, you can withdraw, don't force it." The three of them said yes in unison.

The six-person competition began, both sides were rushing up, only to see the opponent's three long swords flashing, the tricks were ups and downs, on the other hand, the three heroes of the Green Bee Village, although they were struggling to attack, but they were slashing and stabbing indiscriminately, there was no move at all, like a wolf fighting for a tiger, dense and messy, jumping high and low, as if desperate, the three opponents who were disturbed screamed again and again, and they were very embarrassed.

Yan Mubai thought to himself: "Now that I have won a world for the time being, if I don't do it at this time, I will have no chance." At the moment, he took the hollow shield from one person's hand, flew up, and flew towards Ma Ming with the strength of the cliff, everyone only felt a flower in front of them, and the three opponents were even more shocked, but at the moment, the three of them had their own fetters in their hands, and they couldn't let go for a while, so they could only watch Yan Mubai fly over.

Ma Ming exclaimed and ordered, "Release the arrows!"

It's just that he was watching the battle wholeheartedly at the moment, and his reaction was a little slower, Yan Mubai swung his sword and cut off a few, the hollow square window sash waved back and forth, and blocked a few for him, and after he cut off the officers and soldiers on both sides of Ma Ming with a sword, the people who were fighting on both sides and the people who released the arrows stopped one after another.

Yan Mubai held the fire to break the horse's name, hid behind, and slowly moved towards the green bee village, dozens of people in the village shouted in surprise, whistle, and admiration, and after the two retreated to a safe place, he said coldly: "Let them throw away their weapons and exit the canyon." ”

Ma Ming was already frightened when he was captured, and said tremblingly: "Lost... Throw away your weapons and retreat... Exit the canyon. ”

Most of the officers and soldiers trembled, looked at each other, and did not move, and Ma Ming shouted: "Don't do it yet." ”

After saying that, he was out of breath, obviously scared to the extreme, and when he heard it, he threw away his weapons one after another, and crowded out towards the other end of the canyon.

"Master, let me kill this dog officer. Fan Xiao lifted his sword and came towards the head of Ma Ming, whose hands were tied, and Yan Mubai stopped him and said, "Don't be impulsive, this person is very useful." ”

Fan Xiao was puzzled: "What's the use of him?"

Yan Mubai leaned his head and said a few words in his ear, he frowned, narrowed his eyes and nodded, leaned over and broke Ma Ming's mouth, threw a pill into it, and said viciously: "Dog official, listen, this pill is made of poisonous toad, and it will only attack after a month, within this month, we will leave the Qingbee Village to find another livelihood, you want to persuade the imperial court, if someone attacks again within this month, you will wait for the bloodline to reverse and die with all your might, and I will send someone to you at this time next month." ”

The horse was terrified, and nodded repeatedly.

Yan Mubai stretched out his hand to support his shoulder, and said: "Master Ma, this gambling contract is still valid, but I really can't trust the people in the court, so this little bet has changed, don't worry, we said that we will never commit another crime, we will definitely do it, you go!"

Ma Ming trembled and said, "Do you really let me go?" Obviously very suspicious, Fan Xiao shouted: "Don't get out yet!" Ma Ming immediately ran forward in fear, and suddenly the mountain and rock under his feet were fetted, and he fell down, without even frowning, he got up with a rolling belt, and then ran out, and when he landed behind him, there was thunder and laughter.

After Ma Ming left, Fan Xiao asked, "Master, are they really not going to attack?"

Yan Mubai replied affirmatively: "I'm sure that this martial arts master is not here to protect his soldiers, so he will not dare to mess around with such a sacrifice of his life." ”

He found a seat and sat down, and continued: "Today is very thrilling, and you must not want to live this kind of life again. ”

Suddenly the hall fell silent, and he continued: "The Green Bee Village is still dispersed. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall turned their heads to each other, and the sound of small and fragmented discussions sounded again and again, Fan Xiao said: "Master, if we disperse the Green Bee Village, the brothers can find a livelihood, but what about these hundreds of famine people?"

Yan Mubai said: "If everyone goes out of the valley, how about opening the dart game?"

"Dart game?"

"Yes, firstly, the people have a new place to go, and secondly, it is not more beneficial to the people. ”

Everyone clapped their hands and praised: "Yes, why didn't we think of it, this is also a legitimate livelihood, you can increase your knowledge, improve your cultivation, and you can also help the people, but we robbed darts before, and now we are dart masters, and I don't know if anyone has a dart for us!"

Fu Yuan said: "Are you stupid, we used to rob houses and houses with black scarves, who knew that we were grass cowards before." ”

The man suddenly realized, and then laughed and said, "Exactly, exactly!"

Yan Mubai smiled and said, "It's almost dawn, and Miss Qiu and I are leaving." Everyone was laughing in unison just now, and when they heard this, they fell silent for a moment.

Yan Mubai said: "Another day, I'll go to the dart game to see you, shouldn't this dart game be called the Green Hornet Dart Bureau?"

He is also reluctant in his heart, if he can, he wants to live here for a long time, be free every day, drink and fight, don't think about his parents' hatred, don't look for any dream weaver, he has lived a muddy life all his life, but he has never been able to convince himself, so he has to leave.

Fan Xiao said: "Then let's get drunk for the sake of the Green Hornet Dart Game and for the Master, and come to drink someone." ”

Soon after, the hall was flooded in, all of them were the people who had avoided the disaster before, roasting mutton, stove shochu, and instantly filling the grass hall with a lot of land.

At the right moment, Yan Mubai was addicted to drunkenness, as if he had not woken up, his nose moved slightly, as if there was a trace of curling herb fragrance taking advantage of the void, and suddenly his body was as soft as a cloud, unable to move, his thoughts seemed to be carried by pieces of floating clouds, long and clear.

Suddenly, there was a stabbing sound in his ears, like the sound of swords fighting, but it was not quite the same, and he suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had been filled with lead water, and it was unusually heavy.

A voice was telling himself: "Fall asleep like this, don't think about anything, don't listen to anything, isn't it good?" He wavered slightly, but in his heart he didn't want to be at the mercy of others, so he couldn't help but stand up with his eyebrows, trying to drive away something, trying to wake himself up quickly.

Suddenly, a precipitous cliff appeared in front of him, so straight in front of him, just when he stepped forward to see through the layers of mist, there was a force behind the ground, pushing him forward, the cliff in front of him, and then one step forward is to break his bones, he didn't want to, so he gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to pick at the mountain rock on his side, and wanted to pull out the fire and find a life.

It's just that no matter how hard you try, it won't help, the power behind him is so great, his ten fingers are slightly bent, he is a little anxious, and he said in his heart: "Even if it is death, I have to pull you together." He turned around and pulled, wanting to see who the person behind him was, who knew that the ten fingers were opened, just turned around, the feet were soft and stepped on the air, and instantly fell into the empty valley, when he turned around, he only saw a pair of hands, the meridians protruded, dry and yellow, it was the hand of the elderly, he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but he saw that the person was quite tired, bowed his head and bent over, the long sword was on the ground, he couldn't stop panting, most of them had suffered a serious dark injury.

He looked at the hands and was startled for a while, "That... That.. That's the Fire Breaking Sword, my Fire Breaking Sword. His heart sank, and he couldn't help but feel creepy, and he said that he would definitely die, and he was powerless to take revenge, so he closed his eyes and waited for death to come.

Suddenly, there was a snap of his fingers in his ears, and his eyes opened, and he found himself lying in an open area, a mountain rock several times higher than the height of a person stood upright, and it was carved and poured with three big characters in the color of red as blood---- Vulture Cliff, he was suddenly startled, and then his palm was wet and hot, sticky, and he pulled his hand out, trying to wipe it clean, but his hands were full of red, and the hot blood dripped down his fingers little by little, and smashed straight into the long yellow sand.

He was stuck in one breath, his eyes were round, and he looked along the yellow sand, and suddenly found that a young couple appeared on his side, lying quietly in a pool of blood, he held back his heart trembling, his hands covered the two of him and shook gently, there was no reaction, at this time, through the thin mist, a man dressed in white, with a cold posture, like a celestial man, walked towards him with a sword, he tried to widen his eyes but still couldn't see the person's face clearly, only to see that the sword glowed with a faint white light, and suddenly the blade of the long sword turned outward, and his atrium seemed to be pierced by thousands of long piers, and the flesh and blood were blurred in an instant, "Again.. Is.. It's the fire breaking—" he shouted vigorously, clapping his hands on the young couple on the ground, trying to wake them up, but no matter how hard he tried, no sound came out.

Suddenly a strong wind blew, as if piercing the clouds and cracking stones, and in an instant the mist was blown away, and everything on the ground suddenly disappeared, he stood up and looked around, wanting to pursue, only to see a lot of people suddenly appear around, everyone has weapons in their hands, and they are fighting each other, he saw the sword in the chest of the person closest to him on the side of his head, and the black and red blood on the left side of the chest is gurgling outward, but the man seems to be a puppet, his eyes are just looking at him, he doesn't feel the pain of death at all, he looks into the distance, and finds that everyone seems to have stopped, staring at him with a very strange look, and those people are so quietly clubbed thereand not moving.

At this moment, a few soft calls sounded in his ears, and he woke up suddenly.

"Brother Yan, you finally woke up, you scared me just now, you closed your eyes, you have to send your hands into the fire, I can't pull you hard. The feeling of burning pain in an instant swam all over his body, and he cried out, Qiu Ying'an hurriedly took a basin of water, put his hands in it, and then poured a scoop on the fire that was beating on the side.

Yan Mubai's eyes were damp, as if soaked in a thin rain, and he slowly planted his body down, and the sadness and hatred in his eyes were born together, lush and intertwined, and he lay down like this for a long, long time.

"Brother Yan?" Qiu Ying'an stretched out his right hand, gently pressed the back of his left hand, and whispered, "What's wrong with you?"

Yan Mubai sat up and said, "I.... Not... It's okay, what about them?"

Qiu Ying An said: "As soon as I opened my eyes, there were only the two of us left, and the people here were gone. ”

Yan Mubai raised his head to look, only to see the empty village, scattered dishes and wine jugs all over the ground, a cluster in the east and a pile in the west, at first glance it was full, as if the person who left just went out to hit a sharp point and would come back, Yan Mubai suddenly felt sad in his heart, lowered his head and said coldly: "Let's go, they won't come back." ”

Qiu Ying'an was picking up the roasted charcoal that had fallen to the ground one by one and throwing it into the wooden box, and when she heard this, she asked suspiciously, "Where did they go?"

"It must be out of the canyon, and the people in the rivers and lakes come and go, so how can they care about these broken porcelain pieces. ”

Qiu Ying stopped, washed his hands with the spring water in the bucket, and then said, "Then let's go back to Jianshan Villa." ”

When it came to the villa, Yan Mubai seemed to see a girl in a graceful green shirt, smiling and looking forward to it, her eyebrows were picturesque, she walked towards him and smiled, his heart ached, and after a long time, he said depressedly: "I won't go back to Jianshan Villa, when I get out of the canyon, I will send you back to Taiyuan County, and then I will set off to Jinghu to find Master." ”

Qiu Ying said: "I don't want to go back to Sword Villa either, why don't I go with Brother Yan." ”

"What about your sister?" since childhood, his biggest fear is loneliness, although he has the company of the master, but the lack of memory, so that he can never really be happy, he thought: "If someone can always accompany you, it is good, but you have a loved one, even if the two of us are generally miserable, I am afraid that it is difficult to always rely on each other." ”

"Sister, let's stay in the Sword Villa first, when Brother Yan is over your business, I will find an opportunity to pick my sister out, Brother Yan, if you go to Jinghu, you can go around Hanzhong, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"I've heard my father mention it since I was a child, saying that that place is known as the Tianhan Dynasty, rich and vast, and the Han water runs through the period, which is very good, and this time I have the opportunity to open my eyes!"

Yan Mubai looked at the canyon looming in the mist in the distance at this moment, and the sadness in his heart could not be suppressed, letting the hot tears flow down his cheeks, Qiu Ying'an walked over and stood with him, his hands gently covered his back, and he didn't say a word, just quietly soothed him, as if comforting a crying child.
