After more than half an hour, Yu Chengzhu, who was immersed in the sea of martial arts, came to his senses, and saw Zhao Ping'an smiling beside him, the little girl's face turned red, and said: "The younger generation forgot for a while, and I ask Zhenjun to forgive me." ”

Zhao Ping'an said with a smile: "People who practice martial arts, it is rare to have this good opportunity for an epiphany, this is your chance, what is the crime?" Yu Chengzhu looked around, saw no other figures, and couldn't help asking: "What about the black and white Maha?" Zhao Ping'an said indifferently: "Although these two brothers are not bad people, the nature of businessmen who value profits cannot be changed." Poor Dao sent the opponent for them, and they hurried away. Yu Chengzhu shouted: "But they haven't told me the whereabouts of my master yet!" Zhao Ping'an said: "They asked me to tell you that your master and mother are going to Dali in Yunnan, and your master is on the Diancang Mountain in Dali, and this year happens to be his eighty-first birthday. "Yu Chengzhu's Taishi ancestor is a mysterious Yishi, ten years ago with the big rival Shangguan Tianye turned enemies into friends, and returned to seclusion together, this matter Yu Chengzhu also heard the master say, and now I know that they are living in seclusion in Diancang Mountain.

Zhao Ping'an said again: "Black and white Maha also said that your master has a letter left in the study for you. After Yu Chengzhu came back, because she couldn't see the master, she heard that the master had a letter to her, and her heart was sweet, and she felt the importance of the master's affection, and regretted that she had delayed more time on the road. Hurriedly re-entered the study, she used to wait for Zhang Danfeng to write in front of the bookcase, knowing that the master was used to putting trivial things in the drawer, opened it, and sure enough, there were two letters inside, one letter had her name written on it, and the other was written with Zhou Shanmin's name. In addition, there is a pair of small red flags, one flag is embroidered with a round of red sun, and the other side is embroidered with a bent eyebrow moon, Yu Chengzhu first opened the letter to her to see, only to see that in addition to the letterhead, there is also a picture, in the painting a pair of middle-aged men and women, although not like their master and mother, a pair of beautiful people, but the appearance is not bad. Yu Chengzhu took out his letterhead and read:

"Chengzhu's female brother is like meeting, shocked to hear the bad news of Ling Zun, the self-destruction of the Great Wall in the Ming Room, the loss of teachers and friends in the wounded Danfeng, the new pavilion is sobbing, and the one who soothes the pain is not the two of us. I only hope that my daughter's brother will become righteous in the world, the rivers and mountains will be difficult, and she will mourn for the country, inherit her father's will, and live up to her life. The Emperor Taishang is ruthless, I know very well that after the reinstatement, the heroes will be killed, and within the reach of Ti Cai, this is not a pure land. I am not afraid, but the Jurchens rise to the northeast, and the Japanese invaders disturb the southeast, and we should still work together to resist foreign enemies. Because it is a temporary plan to avoid disaster, I went to southern Yunnan, and I also took this opportunity to pay homage to your ancestors. I know you're coming, but there's something important going on that that you need to do. The sun and moon double flags, you should carry the secret with you, as a token, after seeing the word, you will carry the same letter, gallop to the north, if you meet the men and women in the painting, that is, the golden knife small village owner Zhou Shanmin and his wife. ”

After Yu Chengzhu read the letter, although she had to listen to the teacher's training, the grief in her heart eased slightly, but the curiosity increased greatly, she also heard the master talk about the story of Zhou Jie, the owner of the Golden Dao Village, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Ping'an for advice: "Zhou Jie is old, I heard that all the big and small affairs have been handed over to his son, Zhou Shanmin and his wife have always been against the imperial court, how dare they venture into the customs, how can my master know?"

Zhao Ping'an said with a smile: "Zhang Daxia has always been clever and calculating, and he is like a god. Though you do what he tells you to do. Yu Chengzhu's face turned red again, and he said in his heart: "Tianxuan Zhenjun and my master have never been masked, but they also trust him so much, how can I have doubts about my master's arrangement?" hurriedly bid farewell to Zhao Ping'an and hurriedly rode down the mountain.

Zhao Ping'an watched Yu Chengzhu ride a horse north, smiled, floated down the mountain, and also headed north. Along the way, from time to time, I saw all kinds of suspicious characters running on the post road.

On the evening of the second day, Zhao Ping'an had also come to the destination of this trip, in front of an inn in a small town. The inn is a two-storey octagonal building, the eaves are warped, there is an ancient meaning, the upstairs guests, the downstairs is a lobby, there is a seat, and the tavern business, the scale of the inn is quite grand, placed in the big city, it can also be regarded as an inn in the middle of the room, in the small town, there is actually this building, it is a strange, but what catches the eye is not only its building, the main entrance of the inn, the left and right sides of the wall, there is a mural on each side, one side is a round of red sun, one side is a bend of the eyebrow moon, the color is as new, as if it has just been painted. It is the mark of the sun and moon flags of Zhou Shanmin.

Zhao Ping'an's sleeves fluttered, stepped into the lobby of the inn, only to see that there were more than ten guests in the store, divided into five or six places to sit, the strange thing is that in an ordinary hotel, there are so many guests, it must be noisy, or even guess the boxing order, noisy; and this hotel, but quiet, the atmosphere is very solemn, those guests, not like drinking, but like to some holy place to worship. On the head of a seat facing the window to the west sat a young man in white, with a tense expression, it was Yu Chengzhu. Seeing Zhao Ping'an come in, his face couldn't help but show joy, and he nodded to Zhao Ping'an.

The attention of the people in the hotel is not here at all, but concentrated in the center of the lobby, and the two groups of people seem to be facing each other, and the saber is rattling. One side is led by a middle-aged couple, only in their thirties, with gorgeous clothes, at first glance, it seems that the son of a noble family is traveling with his dependents, but between the eyebrows, the heroic spirit, those people in the hotel are faintly centered on this couple. But it turned out to be the pair of people in the picture that Zhang Danfeng wanted Yu Chengzhu to find - Zhou Shanmin, the owner of the Golden Knife Village, and his wife Shi Cuifeng.

On the other side, there were much fewer people, only two people, but they were both officers in uniform, with burly physiques, long swords hanging from their waists, and four murderous eyes, which kept slipping around in front of Zhou Shanmin.

Zhou Shanmin calmed down and said, "Ask the two adults with their surnames." The officer on the left said: "The brother's surname is Yang, and his name is Zonghai." Now he is in the position of the head of the Great Interior, this is Lou Tongsun, the commander of the Royal Forest Army. Everyone was taken aback, Yang Zonghai is one of the world's famous four great swordsmen, Lou Tongsun is the former Jinyi Wei commander-in-chief Zhan Sanshan's senior brother, their master is Shi Hongbo, a martial arts master in northern Jin, with the division of muscles and bones, and the five elements of the sword point method is called the martial arts double unique, Lou Tongsun's kung fu has been passed on by the master, much more clever than his junior brother. It is a surprise that Yang Zonghai has become an officer, and Lou Tongsun has also become the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and everyone is even more unexpected.

It turned out that at the beginning of the plot, Zhan Sanshan and Wen Tiesheng went to the mountains to coerce Zhang Fengfu to make a comeback, but Zhao Ping'an came out of nowhere and intercepted and killed the two of them's back-up Tong Jiajun and Lu Zhanpeng. As a result, Zhan Sanshan died in the hands of Zhang Fengfu, although the restored emperor Zhu Qizhen did not know the truth, but still sent someone to invite Shi Hongbo out of the mountain, hypothetizing that Zhan Sanshan was killed by Zhang Danfeng, and asked Shi Hongbo to avenge his apprentice, Shi Hongbo pushed him to be old, but he was nonsense for a while, and believed the words of the messenger, firstly, he hated Zhang Danfeng for not looking at his affection and killed Zhan Sanshan; Then he sent his big apprentice to Beijing, and Qi Zhen really reused it, and immediately gave him the position of commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

Yang Zonghai and Lou Tongsun occupied the table at the door, and everyone's hearts were terrified, and it seemed that they were blocking the door with bad intentions. Yang Zonghai's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and when he saw Yu Chengzhu, his eyes stopped for a moment, and his face was slightly surprised, Yu Chengzhu was confident that the big help was beside him, and he was not afraid at all, staring at him with straight eyes. Yang Zonghai laughed and said: "It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." The seats are full of heroes, and today's wine is the most enjoyable. Without waiting for anyone to persuade him, he leaned his neck and drank three cups in a row.

Zhou Shanmin arched his hand and said: "The two adults are on business, and the brothers dare not persuade them to drink." After drinking these three cups, let's take as much as you like. If you want wine or food, everyone will do their own thing. Yang Zonghai said: "Brother's business, I have my brother's help, I think there is no problem, I thank you for these three glasses of wine." Zhou Shanmin was taken aback, pressed the cup and said, "What do you mean by this, sir?" Yang Zonghai said: "The emperor invites your brother to Beijing!" Although Zhou Shanmin expected that Yang Zonghai would know his identity, he didn't expect that he would dare to go straight into the face of so many people on his side, press the wine glass, raise his head and sneer: "The younger brother is a scholar, and he can't even pass the test a few times, how can he be blessed to see the current emperor, isn't Lord Yang telling jokes?" Don't tell lies in front of the Ming people, the young master, you are both civil and military, and the emperor wants to do it tightly. Yang Zonghai's words were understated, and he didn't seem to look at heroes from all walks of life in his eyes. But everyone was afraid of his name as one of the four great swordsmen in the world, and no one dared to speak for a while.

Zhao Ping'an slowly paced to the center of the lobby and said coldly: "You are Yang Zonghai?" Yu Chengzhu interjected: "It is the Da-Nei-Chief, one of the four great swordsmen in the world, Lord Yang." Zhao Ping'an said: "I don't care if I am in charge or not, Yang Zonghai, let me ask you, who made you one of the four great swordsmen in the world?" Yang Zonghai said: "Well, that's a friend from the rivers and lakes who pasted gold on the face of the younger brother." Who is the Taoist master?" Yu Chengzhu shouted again: "Senior Tianxuan, teach this dog a good lesson." ”

Yang Zonghai's face changed suddenly, and he lost his voice: "Is the Dao Leader the Tianxuan True Monarch in Wei Zhenyu?" Zhao Ping'an didn't answer, and said with a rhetorical smile: "Deceiving the world and stealing fame is nothing more than this, let the poor Dao teach you a lesson today, the shameless man who impostors are a swordsman!" Yang Zonghai, if you can catch ten moves in my hand, I will be among the four great swordsmen." ”

Although Yang Zonghai was shocked by Zhao Ping'an's name, he immediately thought: "Even if Tianxuan Zhenjun is powerful, can't I take his ten moves?" replied stubbornly: "Okay, then ask Zhenjun to show his sword!" Yu Chengzhu pulled out the Qingying Sword and said: "Dao Chief, my sword will lend you." Zhao Ping'an laughed and said: "Why use a sword to deal with this guy?" said as he took out a willow branch more than two feet long from his sleeve, walked out slowly, and said: "Manager Yangda, this is a good opportunity for you to become famous." As long as you are under my willow branches, you can take ten moves, and your seat as one of the four great swordsmen will be stable. Chengzhu, you helped me count the tricks. ”
