Zhang Qichao and Wei Yan waited until the footsteps completely disappeared before they spoke.

"Xianggong, who are they, and why are they dealing with us?" Wei Yan asked two questions in a row.

Zhang Qichao smiled and replied: "They are the guys and shopkeepers of this inn, you forgot that the guys specifically told us, 'It's dangerous at night, let's not get involved'." ”

Wei Yan thought about it and suddenly realized, "Oh, I remembered." The guy stared at my sword for a while, his face a little abnormal. So what do we do next?"

Zhang Qichao asked with a mysterious face: "Lady, do you want to see a good show?"

"Okay! I like to watch the drama the most!" Wei Yanping likes to join in the fun.

However, the spectator must not interfere with the development of the play. Zhang Qichao said with a serious face, "And don't make a loud noise, otherwise there will be no good show." ”

"Yes! I promise you!"

The husband and wife got dressed, brought their luggage, crept through the patrol in the corridor, and then detoured from the side of the inn to the wall of the backyard, and the two easily climbed on the wall. Lying on top of the wall, hiding in a dark corner, watching everything that happened in the courtyard.

At this time, I saw that the merchants that Zhang Qichao saw during the day were gagged and unable to speak, and they were even dragged into the backyard by the five flowers. The innkeepers lit dozens of torches to light up the entire backyard.

A middle-aged man came with a sword. With a wave of his hand, his subordinates moved a chair for the man to sit down. The beardless man, who was the leader of the merchants, had a calm face. And his men were all in a state of panic.

"Father-in-law, who are you trying your best to go back to Wancheng to meet?"

The man asked, "Who are you? Isn't there a royal law? We are just merchants who go south to sell goods." ”

The middle-aged man sneered, walked to the front of the truck, and suddenly lifted the leather goods on the surface, revealing stones and weapons on the truck.

"Father-in-law, you can see clearly! Whose merchant would stuff these things in the leather goods!" the middle-aged man threw the stone in front of the bearded man and asked, "Say, where is the secret letter?

Seeing that it had been exposed, the father-in-law simply raised his head and did not answer.

The middle-aged man said coldly: "You don't have to answer, I have my own way to make you answer." Your men are all in good shape. I'll cut off their fingers one by one until you are willing to speak. The eyes motioned to the person next to him, and immediately someone came to take away the subordinates beside his father-in-law, took out a dagger and stabbed his fingers.

"Ah!!" the father-in-law's subordinates screamed miserably.

Wei Yan didn't see what happened, and was blindfolded by Zhang Qichao in time. When the screams started, when I looked again, I could only see the person whose finger had been amputated, rolling on the ground in pain.

The father-in-law looked indifferent, and then another of his men was pulled down and cut off ten fingers.

The miserable howls were endless, and Wei Yan was so frightened that she curled up in her husband's arms and shivered.

Also scared is my father-in-law, who is already sweating profusely at this moment, and his body is trembling involuntarily.

The middle-aged man saw through everything, drew his sword out of its sheath, walked up to his father-in-law and said, "You still haven't confessed." I remembered, why do you Beichang treat your subordinates as people. I'll have to do it!" he said, raising the sword in his hand and wrapping around behind his father-in-law, about to make a move.

"I said, I said!" "My father-in-law couldn't bear the psychological pressure anymore, and he looked a little hoarse.

The middle-aged man put away his sword and shouted, "Then say it quickly, don't let me wait any longer." ”

The father-in-law confessed: "I am a subordinate of the father-in-law of Beichang Gu, and I came to Nanyang to deliver a letter on the order of the father-in-law of the factory. ”

"What about faith?"

"I don't know exactly which one is in the scabbard of the car. ”

The middle-aged man beckoned, and his men swarmed up to inspect the scabbard on the truck. For a while, the sound of ping-pong and the sound of miserable howls resounded in the backyard.

"Found it!" one of his men shouted happily as he found the secret letter.

The middle-aged man took the secret letter from his hand and opened it to see that it was indeed a secret letter. Hurriedly put back the envelope and ordered the people who had been waiting for him to take it away.

The middle-aged man asked, "Who is the person you met?"

The father-in-law replied tremblingly: "I don't know, I really don't know." I just told us to put it in the wall of the B room of this inn, and before I could put it, I was arrested by you. ”

At this time, the innkeeper stepped forward and said, "Could it be the couple who live in the A room next door?"

The middle-aged man asked, "What do you mean?"

The shopkeeper explained: "This afternoon a young couple came, the man with a folding fan and the woman with a sword. I thought they were from the rivers and lakes, so I asked the guys to tell them not to go out at night, and then sent someone to charm them with incense. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately ordered some of his men to go to room A to arrest people.

When his subordinates went down, the middle-aged man sneered: "As for you, I have no choice but to send you to hell." As soon as he finished speaking, his father-in-law and more than a dozen others were killed.

As soon as the killing was over, the men who went to the inn to arrest people all came back, shouting: "I didn't find that couple!"

"What?" The middle-aged man was puzzled, only to feel that the flower in front of him had been restrained from behind.

Zhang Qichao put a folding fan on the middle-aged man's neck and said with a smile: "I didn't intend to get involved in this matter, but you are very good at it." ”

The middle-aged man said in a trembling voice: "You, what do you want?"

"I don't want to do anything, as long as you can let our husband and wife go, I promise that your life will not be in danger. Zhang Qichao motioned to Wei Yan on the wall to come down and come to him.

"Okay, okay, I'll send you two out of the city right away. When the middle-aged man heard this, he was hopeful.

In this way, Zhang Qichao and Wei Yan left Wancheng with the middle-aged man unimpeded.

As soon as he got out of the city, he let go of the middle-aged man. Zhang Qichao and Wei Yan galloped away overnight, leaving stunned people and men who couldn't catch up.

The sky dawned, and Zhang Qichao and Wei Yan got off the horse to rest. The two found a big tree and sat down with their backs against each other, and Wei Yan leaned her head on Zhang Qichao's left shoulder.

"Xianggong, why don't we take the secret letter?" Wei Yan didn't understand Zhang Qichao's approach.

Zhang Qichao touched Wei Yan's face and replied gently: "If we take it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come up with Wancheng." ”

Wei Yan said coquettishly: "Xianggong, I'm so tired." I really want to rest. ”

Zhang Qichao looked around and saw that it was a wilderness, and the enemy had nowhere to hide. So he said, "Sleep, I'll keep watch over you." ”

"Okay~~" Wei Yan pillowed Zhang Qichao's thigh with her head on her head, and she was about to fall asleep with her eyes closed.

Zhang Qichao leaned against the big tree, looked into the distance, and thought to himself. looked down to see if her daughter-in-law was asleep, but saw Wei Yan's eyes wide open and looking at him.

Zhang Qichao said strangely: "Lady, why don't you sleep yet?"

Wei Yan said shyly: "I watched such a terrible thing last night, and I was so scared that I couldn't sleep." Can you tell me a story to coax me to sleep, that's how the nurse used to coax me to sleep. ”

"Uh......" Zhang Qichao couldn't laugh or cry, "I know that there are very few stories." ”

"No, tell me about it. Wei Yan muttered to hear the story.

Zhang Qichao was so noisy by her that he couldn't do anything, so he had to bite the bullet and tell the story, "It is said that there was a temple on the mountain in the past, and there was ...... in the temple"

"There is a little monk in the temple, this monk is very naughty, he can't sleep at night, and insists that the old monk tell him stories!" Wei Yan reached out and pinched Zhang Qichao's nose, and said angrily: "You still want to mock me, I heard it when I was three years old." ”

"Oh, then I'll change it. Zhang Qichao thought for a while and said, "A long time ago, there were ten suns in the sky, and that was ......."

"Hou Yi shoots the sun, and I've heard it!" Wei Yan said listlessly: "Change one!"

"Once upon a time, there were seven very beautiful fairies in the sky. ”

"The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, or the Heavenly Immortal. Change one!"

"Lady!" Zhang Qichao couldn't help but complain: "How restless you were when you were young, you have heard so many stories." ”

"Hmm~~~ You have an opinion!"

Zhang Qichao had no choice but to come up with the story at the bottom of the box, "More than 100 years ago, there were four legends on the rivers and lakes, namely the martial arts legend Liang Gujin, the prodigal swordsman Xiong Ruyuan, the Great Dao Integration Xu Zhi and the Tiger Roar Shenzhou Wen Tonghe. The most interesting thing is that although they were contemporaries, they never fought against each other in their lives. The four legends are also the general names of later generations. Among them, the prodigal swordsman was amorous and infatuated all his life. His descendants, no one can inherit his kendo style. Later, there was a person who did it, and that was Ye Fengcheng, nicknamed 'Jiangnan Yiye', also known as 'Canglang Gongzi'. ”

Wei Yan's eyes widened, listening with relish, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.

"That Ye Fengcheng was originally from a scholarly family, and he had great ambitions since he was a child, and he was selected for Tanhua at the age of twenty-three. didn't want to offend the right eunuch Gu Jin, and was dismissed. He did not give up because of this, and later dedicated "Pingyi Policy" to Fan Heling, the envoy of Huguang Festival, and was appreciated by him. Hey, it's a pity that Gu Jin learned about this and put pressure on Fan Heling. In the end, Fan Heling was forced to send Ye Fengcheng out of the Jiedu Embassy Mansion. ”

Zhang Qichao continued: "From then on, Ye Fengcheng wandered into a wreckage, boating on the river all day long, and was in the company of wine and women. Until one day, when he met a fellow, the Taoist taught him the swordsmanship of the prodigal swordsman. The swordsmanship of the prodigal son swordsman is the most detached and detached charm, which coincides with Ye Fengcheng's encounter. Ye Fengcheng practiced swordsmanship, and his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds. It has achieved the prestige of today's 'Jiangnan Yiye'. It was a coincidence that he swam in the lake and got ......"

was about to tell the most exciting part of Ye Feng City, but found that Wei Yan had fallen asleep listening to it. Zhang Qichao shook his head and said to himself: "Zhang Qichao, Zhang Qichao, you are the same as Ye Fengcheng, you are a big fool. ”

Wei Yan was lying on her side, pillowed on Zhang Qichao's thighs, smiling, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her cherry-like mouth breathing evenly, which was really cute.

Zhang Qichao laughed at himself: "Ye Fengcheng, Ye Fengcheng, I used to mock you, but now it seems that I am too stupid." It's not bad to be a fool like that. ”

It was already afternoon when Wei Yan woke up, and the couple simply ate some dry food, and then went on the road, first westward and then south, and finally arrived at the fisherman's village at the foot of Hanshan Jianpai Mountain.

What's going on next? Look at the next chapter, "Okay, Okay, Okay."
