The sky was bright, the sun shone through the dense forest, and the valley was full of life. Yun Qing, who was keeping vigil, got up and moved her muscles, watched Lihua'er come back from washing by the river, and said with a smile: "It's the first time you have slept in the wilderness, haven't you slept all night? ”

Pear Blossom smiled and said, "I don't want to stay at home, my sister doesn't know when she will be able to go back, I'm so bored by myself." ”

Yun Qing said: "How can it be boring, I heard that the sword Amano next to the second brother likes you very much, and he plays with you all day long." ”

Li Hua'er blushed and said: "That's his own wishful thinking, I'm still young, don't think about these for the time being, as long as I can follow my sister." ”

"Don't use me as a shield, who are you begging to follow me out of the valley for, don't you know?" Her face turned red instantly, and she muttered: "How can there be anyone, I don't know anyone when I leave the Valley of Despair." ”

She turned around and ran, and Yun Qing said inexplicably: "This ...... What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing?"

Jinghong said: "Don't lie to her, do you really think she likes to follow me? ”

Yun Qing was surprised: "Lover, who?"

Jing Hong made a helpless statement: "Yang Chuchen, the disciple in charge of the Western helm." Last year, that guy went to the valley to meet the master, and this girl fell in love at first sight, and she has never forgotten it. Knowing that this time we were going to the West to branch the rudder on errands, he begged to follow. ”

Yun Qing sneered: "So that's the case, it's interesting." You have always treated Lihuaer like a sister, she has a good home, you should be happy for her. ”

Jing Hong snorted: "Happy, forget it, it's good not to be angry with her." ”

Yun Qing's face was full of doubts, and Lin Fei came over and said, "Fifth brother, you don't know Yang Chuchen, he is the son-in-law of Du Zhong, the rudder master of the West, and he is a man with a wife. ”

Red tears said: "With a wife's room and still messing with the little girl outside, I don't think this guy is a good person." ”

Pear Blossom hid behind the tree and listened to the grievances, and was about to come out to distinguish it, but saw that Jinghong made a silent gesture and whispered, "Someone is coming." ”

Several people were hiding in the grass, and after a while, they heard a loud shout: "Little thief, don't be caught yet, otherwise you will die under my Taishan faction's swordsmanship." ”

It was already dawn, and a man in Tsing Yi rushed over, and seven or eight people were chasing after him. There was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and if he was not careful, the man in Tsing Yi was hit with a sword on his shoulder. He screamed and rolled out of the encirclement, and was about to run again, but his right leg was slashed by a sword. His eyes went black, and he fell to the ground.

"Hahaha, little thief, aren't you very good at running, do you keep running?" The one who struck him was a young man in his twenties, with outstanding swordsmanship, who was known as Zhong Yuan, the Changhong Sword known as one of the Eight Swords of Mount Tai.

The man in Tsing Yi fell to the ground and couldn't move, he looked very embarrassed, and said hatefully: "Your Taishan faction is famous and decent in vain, what kind of hero is it to win more and less?"

"Do you still need to talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes to deal with you, a traitor? You peep into my Taishan faction's martial arts, and it is not a pity to die. "Zhou Yong is irritable by nature, he is the head of the four elders of the Taishan faction, and even the head of Yan Jingjing wants to give him three points. The man in Tsing Yi looked at him and sneered: "Peeping into the martial arts of the Taishan faction, don't say I didn't see it, even if I did, you have chased and killed my whole family from Shandong, it's too much, right?"

Junzi Jian Murong Xiaoyao said angrily: "Bastard, when will we kill your whole family?" You traitor is full of nonsense, you don't have to take it back to the senior brother in charge to dispose of, I will kill you with my own hands." ”

The man in Tsing Yi shouted viciously: "Yanjing dog thief, I can't let him die well! He colluded with the Demon Sect and was in the company of the Demon Man of the Ruthless Valley to ask Yuhang, and he was the scum of the Central Plains Decent Martial Arts......"

"Shut up, how can my senior brother in charge allow you to slander this villain?" Murong Xiaoyao interrupted the words of the man in Tsing Yi in time, drew his sword and grabbed the front sword and stabbed him in the heart.

"The traitor dares to slander the senior brother in charge of the sect for befriending the Demon Sect and ruining the reputation of my Taishan Sect, so he will be killed and cheapened!" Zhong Yuan was angry, but when he saw Murong Shanyao's expression, he said embarrassedly: "We can kill one person, how can we block the mouth of the world? Senior brother, he ...... Alas!"

Zhou Yong's eyes widened angrily: "What are you talking about, Yanjing's friendship with the Demon Sect is true? Bastard, I think that my Taishan Sect has been famous for a hundred years, how can it be ruined in the hands of unscrupulous disciples." I'll go back to Yan Jing to confront you, and I'm going to clean up the portal for Senior Brother Wang. ”

Zhong Yuan persuaded: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, ask clearly first." Senior Brother Murong, what do you mean when you say that you can't block the mouth of the world, is it ...... senior brother in charge?"

Murong Silent frowned: "If it's really slanderous, it's fine, but Senior Brother he is really ...... Alas, it is true that Senior Brother and Sword Demon asked Yu Hang to be friends for many years. ”

His words shocked a thousand waves, and all the brothers and sisters were shocked, and Zhou Yong couldn't help but scolded three times in a row: "Bastard, bastard, bastard! Let's go, we'll go back now, I'm going to clear the portal. ”

Zhong Yuan was puzzled: "How can the senior brother in charge do such a thing, if this is known to outsiders, my Taishan faction's century-old reputation will be completely ruined." ”

Murong sighed: "Isn't it? I have persuaded Senior Brother many times, but he just won't listen. Alas, Uncle Zhou, let's go back and persuade him first. ”

Seeing that the Taishan faction had gone away, Yun Qing turned around and asked, "What kind of singing is this?

Lin Fei smiled bitterly: "It's not an exaggeration to say that they are friends of life and death." Alas, this secret was finally known to others, and Master Yan was only afraid that it would be difficult. ”

Jing Hong snorted: "There is definitely someone who deliberately frames Yan Daxia and wants to be unfavorable to him. If he loses his life because of his eldest brother, he will never be at ease for the rest of his life, and we must save him. ”

Lin Fei said: "Yan Daxia is a righteous gentleman, I have always admired him. Now that we know he is in trouble, we cannot sit idly by. ”

Yun Qing said: "What's so difficult about this? Master ordered us to go to the east, west, south, north and south rudder to inspect, so let's do it, third brother, you continue to go to the west with red tears." I hurried to the east with Jinghong to divide the rudder, and by the way, I went to Mount Tai to report to Yan Daxia. ”

The original intention of setting up the four rudders in the east, west, north and south of the Valley was to monitor the various factions in the Central Plains at all times, so the eastern rudder was located at the foot of Mount Taishan in Shandong, and the western rudder was close to Huashan. Lin Fei nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, it is our duty to save the head of Yan, you and Jinghong are careful on the road." ”

Jing Hong glanced back at Li Hua'er, who was looking at him with anticipation, shook his head and said: "The situation of the Taishan faction is unknown, Li Hua'er doesn't have to follow me, the third brother will take her to the west to divide the rudder!"

She didn't have anything to say to others, but Lihua'er jumped up and shouted: "Okay, good, hehe, my sister is the best." ”

Jing Hong glanced at her: "Don't come to this set, how can my sister compare to Brother Yang, right?"

Two blushes flew on Pear Blossom's face, and she lowered her head and said, "Where is it, sister is sister, and Brother Yang is Brother Yang." ”

Without further ado, after everyone had discussed, they divided into two ways. It was already not far from the western rudder, so it was there that night.

He led the horse and walked to the backyard of the mansion of the wealthy merchant Du in the city, and after the report, Yang Chuchen, the disciple in charge of the Western Branch, and his wife came out to see Lin Fei and Red Tears. This Yang Chuchen is about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, handsome and elegant, but Mrs. Yang's wife Du Shi has a sallow face and a sickly face. After acknowledging each other, Lin Fei and the others were arranged to rest in the wing.

Red tears pushed Lin Fei, who had been stupid since he entered the door, and said: "That Mrs. Yang is the 'One Flower' Du Xiaowu you told me? You are too exaggerated, can you be regarded as a beauty even if you are so sick?"

"Impossible. Xiao Wu is completely like two people back then, which is too strange. Lin Fei was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He and the western helmsman Du Xian are old friends, often come here when walking the rivers and lakes, and are very familiar with Miss Du, how can I not understand why a person can change so much in just a few years.

Li Hua'er sighed and said: "Sister-in-law Yang has been suffering from strange illnesses in the past few years, and no matter how many doctors she has hired, Brother Yang is afraid that she won't be able to delay for a few years!"

Lin Fei was suspicious, frowning to himself, but he heard a long laugh in his ears, and the two elders walked into the guest room side by side, it was Du Zhong, the helmsman of the western division of the Ruthless Valley, and Cui Yi, the deputy helmsman. Du Zhong said with a spring light on his face: "Brother Lin's distinguished guest has come to the door, and the old man has lost his distance." ”

Lin Fei said: "Please forgive me for visiting late at night, disturbing Brother Du and Brother Cui." ”

Du Zhong looked at the second daughter opposite, and saw that Pear Blossom was combing her double buns, her childishness had not been taken off, and the red tears were obviously more luxurious, and her appearance was also good, so she asked: "I heard that the second master sent Brother Lin to follow the nine girls out of the valley to inspect the rudder, this must be the nine girls......, right?"

Jing Hong will be the next leader, which is already an open secret in the Desperate Valley faction, and Du Zhong will make a big gift when he comes up. Red Tears was startled, and hurriedly retreated to accept his salute, and giggled: "The helmsman misunderstood, I am Shangguan Red Tears." ”

Lin Fei laughed "haha": "Brother Du said that she was laughing, how could she be the ninth girl?

Du Zhong was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, it turned out to be the eighth girl, old and confused." Why Brother Lin, didn't the ninth girl come?"

Lin Fei said with a smile: "The ninth girl is young in the end, and she is just out of the rivers and lakes, she doesn't know where to run for a long time, and she can't come to split the rudder yet, so I have to come over first and wait." ”

Du Zhong's face was full of doubts, and he didn't believe a word of Lin Fei's nonsense. But he also knew that he shouldn't ask more, so he went out after a few words of greeting. Red Tears held her breath for a long time, and finally seized the opportunity to step on Lin Fei's feet, and said angrily: "What do you mean that I can't compare anywhere, where can I compare to Jinghong?"

Lin Fei jumped to his feet in pain: "I'll just say it casually, you just listen to it, can you use the poison hand?"

"Hmph, ignore you. After saying that, Red Tears turned around and ran into the back room.
