When Yu Fan was thinking about it, he only heard Peng Yuanxi smile and said, "Mr. Shi is really thoughtful. No wonder before we set off, you specially instructed Peng to bring a long sword. Peng was puzzled at the time, and didn't understand until this time. It turned out that Mr. Shi had long wanted to get rid of this straw bale young master, but he didn't have a chance. Today, it happened that the Thunder Fist Gate surrounded this straw bag, and Mr. Shi took us here, using only a long sword when killing people. When Shi Nianhao came to inspect the corpse, he saw that these people died under the sword, so we added oil and vinegar to the side to add fuel to the fire. Although Shi Nianhao is witty, he can only think that it is the hand of Lei Fist, and he will not suspect us. At that time, Shi Nianhao will lead people to fight with Lei Fist, and the two sides will fight to the death, and they will inevitably lose both. Let's profit from it, your Mr. Shi is the head of the Shi family knife. It's high, it's really high!"

Only then did Yu Fan understand why Shi Nianyang had a "mending sword", and secretly thought that this Shi Nianyang was indeed a good one, and I am afraid that he had already set a plan to deal with Shi Nianhao, so that he could succeed in one blow. Shi Nianhao's eldest son was killed, and he would definitely be in chaos, and he would fight with Lei Fist in a rage. Shi Nianyang got Peng Yuanxi's help, just in time to take advantage of the chaos to kill Shi Nianhao, and the head of the Shi family knife would return to his hands. This ploy is indeed ingenious, but it is also extremely vicious. In order to avenge his father, Shi Nianyang wanted to win the position of the head of the family, and he did not hesitate to risk the destruction of the Shi family's knife, and even killed his nephew with his own hands.

At this time, there were two more screams, thinking that two of Shi Tianbao's men who were not dead were killed. Then someone said to Shi Nianyang: "Big housekeeper, we have checked it twice, and there is indeed no living mouth." ”

I only heard Shi Nianyang say: "Okay, Mr. Peng and I will rush back to Luoyang City." A few of you clean up this place, and you can't leave the slightest flaw. Shi Nianhao is cautious and very wise, but don't be seen by him. We suffered a big loss in Hutouyan, and now we are short of manpower, and we can't turn our faces with Shi Nianhao. ”

The men agreed. Immediately afterwards, only the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and it was thought that Shi Nianyang, Peng Yuanxi and others rode away from here. Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi knew that the martial arts of these people were far from comparable to Shi Tianbao, for fear of revealing their tracks, so they had to lie down tightly behind the bushes, not daring to poke their heads out to watch, they heard the sound of horses' hooves passing by the avenue not far from the two of them, but they didn't see what Shi Nianyang looked like.

When the sound of horses' hooves went far away, Yu Fan lowered his voice and said to Cheng Hei: "There is a danger here, but it's just a dispute between the Shi Family Knife and the Thunder Fist Gate, and it has nothing to do with us." Now that the eldest son of the Shi family is dead, Shi Nianhao is in person, and he must think that it is the hand of Lei Fist, and the two sides are fighting in front of him. Let's leave this place as soon as possible and not get involved in this turmoil. ”

Yu Chengsi originally wanted to watch a big battle between Shi Tianbao and Wei Qian, but he didn't expect that the turmoil was treacherous, Shi Jiadao suddenly fought infighting, and in the blink of an eye, Shi Tianbao and more than 20 other people were all killed. Although Yu Chenghe's martial arts are not weak, he is the age when the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but when he first set foot in the rivers and lakes, he saw a miserable massacre of the same family, and the shock in his heart was really indescribable. originally wanted to venture into the rivers and lakes, but he must have been arrogant, but he never thought that it would be so turbulent and unpredictable. was originally full of enthusiasm, but it was already a little cold. It was because he heard that Yu Fan wanted to quietly turn back to Luoyang City, but he did not object.

The two knew that when Shi Nianyang left, they left a few people in the woods, and they thought that the martial arts of the people who stayed behind were not weak. When leaving, the two of them were extremely cautious, until they came out of this forest, and the distance was more than 100 zhang, and no one noticed, so they let go of their hearts. The two men discerned the direction and strode north.

At this time, it was already early in the morning, Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi left Luoyang City early in the morning, and they had not eaten water and rice for most of the day, and they were a little hungry at this time. After walking a few miles forward, I saw a bluestone slab bridge not far away, and I could faintly hear the murmuring of the water, which was very pleasant.

The two approached the stone bridge, but found a person standing at the head of the bridge, holding his hands conceited, looking at the flowing water under the bridge in silence.

It's just that Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi were shocked when they saw this person's back, and immediately stopped. Yu Chenghei stretched out his right hand to his waist, and he already held the wooden handle of the long whip.

Both of them had recognized this person as the man in gray who had pushed Qu Naji away on Cuiyun Peak. Later, this person watched outside the Tianyi Inn, and in the morning, he also appeared in the Guandi Shengjun Temple.

Yu Fan and Yu Chenghei stopped, the man had already turned around, and said to Yu Fan: "Mr. Yu, I'm offended." ”

Yu Fan couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard him call out his surname, but after thinking about it, since this person had been to Tianyi Inn, he naturally knew his surname, but it was not surprising. At that moment, he also arched his hand and said, "Your Excellency, please." We're just getting acquainted, where can we talk about the word offended?"

The man pointed at Yu Chenghei and said with a smile: "Yesterday, this benevolent brother has been following him from Cuiyun Peak, because he had some doubts below, so he visited Tianyi Inn at night and had a face-to-face with Mr. Yu. At that time, I thought that maybe it was at the top of Cuiyun Peak, Mr. Yu rescued the naughty boy, and pushed the play away, so that Mr. Yu doubted whether it would be unfavorable to Mr. Xia, so that this benevolent brother followed him to find out the origin of Zaixia's identity. It's just that I looked at Mr. Yu's appearance last night, and I thought that it was just a chance encounter with Zaixia, and after Zaixia left the inn, he didn't take this matter to heart. It's just a coincidence, I didn't expect that today in the temple of Emperor Guan Shengjun, I met with the two unexpectedly, which can be said to be a creation and a trick. There was a fight in front of Guan Yunchang's tomb, and both of them saw it with their own eyes, so they were afraid that they would be even more suspicious of having a plot against the two. However, I thought that Mr. Yu rescued the two naughty boys, which was quite chivalrous and would not be the scum of the rivers and lakes, so I was waiting here, and wanted to explain the misunderstanding to Mr. Yu, so as not to cause another incident. ”

Although Yu Fan was still a little suspicious in his heart, most of them were relieved, believing that the man in gray did not mean to embarrass him. At the moment, he said: "Good to say, easy to say." I don't know what your name is?"

The man in gray said: "I am just a prodigal son in the rivers and lakes, and I am just a nameless person in the rivers and lakes, and I can't bear to insult Mr. Qing." It's just that please rest assured that when you go down to this Luoyang City, you have nothing to do with Mr. Yu, and you won't be embarrassed by the two. Although it has been met many times, it is just an unintentional coincidence. ”

At this point, he paused for a moment, and then said, "There is one more thing I would like to advise Mr. Looking at the two people who came from the south, they must have seen the dispute between Shi Jiadao and Lei Fist Gate. There are many entanglements behind this matter, if it has nothing to do with the two of them, please stay out of the two positions and do not get involved in the disputes between these two major sects. ”

Yu Fan heard him mention the dispute between Shi Jiadao and Lei Fist Gate, and his heart sank, and he secretly thought: "This person knows about this, and he wants to come here to watch on the side, why didn't I even find out about this person? ”

When he thought of this, he didn't want to be an enemy of this person. At the moment, he arched his hand and said: "Yu is just passing through Luoyang, whether it is Cuiyun Peak or Guandi Temple, it is just to find the ancient and explore the secluded, and there is no intention of embarrassing Your Excellency." Moreover, Yu is not a person in the rivers and lakes, and will not be involved in disputes between martial arts sects. You can rest assured that Yu has no intention of becoming an enemy of you. The green mountains do not change, the green water always flows, today and you have said goodbye here, even if you see you again in the future, it is not intentional, you can rest assured. ”

When Yu Fan said this, the man in gray nodded, and when he made eye contact with Yu Fan, they both found that the other party felt relieved. I thought to myself: "It turns out that he is also quite jealous of me." ”

At this moment, only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance. The three of them turned their heads in astonishment, looking in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves. But I saw that the dust was rising a hundred and ten zhang away on the north side, and it seemed that a large group of people rushed over. The gray-clothed man's face changed, and he said to Fan and Yu Chenghei: "The reinforcements of the Shi family knife have arrived, but I am afraid that the matter of Fang Cai will not be good." I persuaded the two to leave as soon as possible, otherwise it would not be easy to get out. ”

Yu Fan wanted to leave this place a long time ago, so he arched his hand to the gray-clothed man, turned into the first path on the right side by side with Yu Chenghei, and walked away quietly. But the man in gray straightened his clothes, made a casual appearance, and staggered along the stone bridge to the north.

The team came so fast. Before the man in gray had reached the other side of the stone bridge, several tall horses had already reached the stone bridge. Iron hooves trampled and dust flew. The man in gray hurriedly turned his back, his left hand covering his face, as if to cover the dust. Immediately, the passenger was just an ordinary passerby, and no one paid any attention to him. After the first few horses had crossed the stone bridge, a large group of men and horses arrived. The group, which numbered fifty or sixty horsemen, rushed like an army.

The man in gray had already crossed the stone bridge, but when he saw the arrival of the horse caravan, he hurriedly stood under a tree by the roadside, leaning on his side and covering his face with his sleeve. The team rushed to the gray-clothed man, and on the first horse sat a purple-robed man in his forties and fifties. The man had a fair complexion, broad eyebrows, a beard, a jade crown of hair, and a long knife with a navy blue scabbard hanging from his waist. He saw that the man in gray was hiding on the side of the road, but he didn't care, so he rode by. Behind him sat a slender Taoist priest on a jujube red horse. This Taoist priest is also between forty and fifty years old, with two silkworm eyebrows, a straight nose and a wide mouth, and three locks of long hair fluttering on his chest, quite a bit of fairy wind bones. As he rode past the man in gray, he glanced at him and rode over. It's just that when he reached the bridge, he suddenly remembered something, his heart sank, and his left hand suddenly strangled the reins. The mount under his crotch was strangled by him, and with a long neigh, he stopped abruptly, and his hooves were raised, almost knocking the Taoist priest off the horse.

The purple-robed man heard the neighing of the horse behind him, so he also reined in his mount, turned his head to look, and saw that the man had stopped, and was turning his head to look back. Seeing that the knights behind the Taoist priest also reined in their mounts, the purple-robed man was anxious, turned his horse's head and walked to the Taoist priest, and said to the Taoist priest: "Miao Daochang, what's wrong?"

The Taoist priest looked suspicious, but just looked back. It's just that these fifty or sixty horsemen rushed over, and there was already a cloud of dust behind them, and even the faces of the knights three or four paces away couldn't be seen clearly.

The Taoist priest looked at it for a moment, then turned his head and said to the purple-robed man: "Strange, the figure of that person is quite familiar, but with this person's identity, he shouldn't appear here, right, am I dazzled?"
