Chapter 14 The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow

One day, Shen Luo was sitting alone in the bamboo forest in the courtyard, and suddenly, a gust of wind came, he closed his eyes, and his right hand clenched the long knife beside him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Come out, why hide," Shen Luo said coldly.

"Haha, it's worthy of the ruthless knife Shenluo, I have already restrained my breath, I never thought about it, but I still taught you to perceive!" A burst of heroic laughter came from outside the courtyard, and after a while, a strong man in a dark coat slowly walked into the courtyard, only to see that his face was like a knife, thick eyebrows and big ears, and there was a short hair on his lips, so he looked like a hero.

"Are you?" looked at the person in front of him, Shen Luo spoke.

"I'm Xiang Wentian!" He suddenly lowered his voice and said: "My friends on the rivers and lakes all call me 'Heavenly King Laozi'" After speaking, he seemed to feel embarrassed, and scratched his head with a smile.

Looking at his reckless appearance, Shen Luo couldn't help but feel good, and said with a smile: "It turned out that he was an envoy to the left, and he had admired his name for a long time." ”

"Haha, I should say this, I often hear people say that this ruthless sword martial arts is strong, I still don't believe it, this time I saw it, I knew that my surname Xiang could be regarded as living to a dog in the past few decades. He grinned, and half-jokingly said, "Brother Shen, you and I are divided into the left and right envoys of the Divine Sect, this relationship can be regarded as very close, and the old brother will point to you to help you more in the future." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, you and I help each other," Shen Luo said with a smile.

Xiang Wentian looked around in the courtyard, and after a while, he spoke: "Brother Shen, Miss Ren can be in this green bamboo alley." ”

Shen Luo had already guessed that he was here for Ren Yingying, and said busily, "She is in the East Chamber, you go and look for him." After speaking, he didn't wait to reply to Wentian, and sat back under the bamboo forest.

Xiang Wentian glanced at Shen Luo deeply, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, I walked to the east wing.

When he arrived outside the house, he bowed to Wentian and said loudly: "The subordinate Guangming Left Envoy greeted Wentian to meet the Holy Aunt!"

Hearing this, Ren Yingying hurriedly went out to welcome Xiang Wentian in, and her face was full of complaints: "Uncle Xiang, you are my elder, how can you give me such a big gift, if my father is alive, I must be blamed for not knowing the number of courtesies." As he was talking, he seemed to think of his deceased father, and his face was pale, and he wanted to cry.

Looking at the girl in front of him who he regarded as his own with a painful look, Xiang Wentian suddenly felt panicked in his heart, and hesitated whether to tell him about it, and finally, he spoke: "Miss, about the sect master, I got a news a few days ago: the sect master is not dead, he was imprisoned in the dungeon of the West Lake Meizhuang by the undefeated dog thief in the east."

As soon as these words came out, it was no less than a thunderclap in Ren Yingying's heart, her face flushed, and she said excitedly: "Really? Uncle Xiang." My daddy, is he really not dead?"

"It's true, the most urgent thing now is how to save the sect leader. Xiang Wentian explained.

Thinking of her hope of seeing her father again, Ren Yingying's face was overjoyed, but then she thought about how she could go to the heavily guarded Meizhuang dungeon to save people. I had to pin all my hopes on Xiang Wentian in front of me, and couldn't help but say: "Uncle Xiang, if my father can escape this time, my uncle's great grace, Yingying is unforgettable" said, and wanted to kneel on the ground.

Xiang Wentian hurriedly grabbed him and said excitedly: "Miss, you can look down on my surname Xiang when you say this, the sect leader has a great favor to me, and I will do my best to rescue the sect leader." How can you bother the eldest lady to beg each other" said, the words changed, and said: "The owner of that Meizhuang is a famous Jiangnan four friends on the rivers and lakes, a few months ago I collected their favorite "Instant Stickers" and "Guangling San", if this is used as bait to teach the people of that Meizhuang to relax their guard, it's just ......"

"Just what?" Ren Yingying asked.

"It's just that there is still a word electric sword Ding Jian in that plum village, this person's swordsmanship is superb, and he has to find a master who matches it, I had no clue about it before, but today I came to Green Bamboo Lane, but I have a suitable candidate in my heart, but I don't know if this person is reliable." ”

"You mean Shen Luo?" Ren Yingying unconsciously remembered the white-haired man who made her hate her so much.

"Exactly, I don't know if the eldest lady can persuade that Shen Luo to go with me to rescue the sect leader. Xiang Wentian said

Ren Yingying was on the side, didn't speak, didn't know what she was thinking, for a long time, she nodded.

The next day, noon. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was there, Ren Yingying made her request to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo didn't say anything, but Tao Yaoyao on the side spoke, looking at Ren Yingying pitifully: "Sister Ren, I don't want to leave Shen Lang, can you not let him go?"

Ren Yingying looked at the other party, and saw that Tao Xiaoxiao looked like a pear blossom with rain, but she had to refuse when she thought of her father's safety.

In the end, Tao Xiaoxiao still failed to keep Shen Luo, on the one hand, she was unwilling to refuse such a solemn request from her good sister, and she couldn't refuse, and she was also sensitive to find that the people around her seemed to have a matter on their minds that needed to be solved urgently, and she didn't want to trap him.

That night, she pestered Shen Luo to tell her a story, hugged him tightly, and all night, she was afraid that Shen Luo's departure would be another year. Between the swaying shadows of the bamboo, she looked at the figure of the person gradually moving away.

Shen Luo and the others left Luoyang, first riding horses to Kaifeng by land, and then going to Kaifeng by boat through the Grand Canal to the south.

A few days later, the ship was about to arrive in Hangzhou, and Xiang Wentian prepared the "Frank Sticker" as a stepping stone in the boat, and deliberately disguised himself for a while, and then landed on the boat, bought two horses, and rode into Hangzhou City. Shen Luo is not dressed in disguise, his white hair will be recognized at any time, but he wears a hat.

Hangzhou was called Lin'an in ancient times, and was built as the capital city in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it has always been a rare fairyland. Entering the city, pedestrians are side by side along the way, and sheng songs are everywhere. Linghu Chong followed Xiang Wentian to the shore of the West Lake, but saw that the blue waves were like mirrors, the weeping willows were blowing water, and the beauty of the scenery was like a fairyland.

Shen Luo looked at the bustling city of Hangzhou but couldn't help but be a little irritable, he thought of Suzhou for no reason, the so-called: there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below. This Hangzhou is indeed the same as Suzhou, and Suzhou is the beginning of all suffering.

Xiang Wentian saw that Shen Luo was preoccupied, and he had doubts but it was inconvenient to say more, so he came to a place where he leaned on a hill on one side, and there was a long causeway separated from the lake outside, which was even quieter. The two dismounted, tied their mounts to the willow tree by the river, and went up the stone steps by the mountain. Xiang Wentian seems to have arrived at the old place, and the path is very familiar. Turning a few corners, there are plum trees everywhere, the old trunk is horizontally oblique, the branches and leaves are dense, imagine the day when the plum blossoms bloom in early spring, the fragrant snow is like the sea, and it is sure that you can not see it endlessly.

Walk through a large piece of plum forest, walk on a bluestone road, come to a large village courtyard with white walls of Zhumen, go to the nearest place, see the two big characters of "Meizhuang" written outside the gate, and sign the four words "Yu Yunwen inscription" next to it.

Xiang Wentian stepped forward, grabbed the polished big brass ring on the door, turned around and whispered: "Brother Shen, don't say much later, and listen to my arrangement." Shen Luo nodded, thinking: "Such caution may not be useful, and it is inevitable to fight in the end." ”

I only heard Xiang Wentian knock the copper ring four times, stop once, knock twice, stop once, stop once, knock five times, stop again, knock three times, and then put down the copper ring and retreat aside.

After half a ring, the door slowly opened, and two old men in family clothes walked out side by side. Shen Luo raised his head and glanced at them, only to see that these two people had blazing eyes, steady steps, and obvious martial arts were not low, and he became more and more curious in his heart how many catties and taels there was in this business, and he actually taught this Dongfang Undefeated to make such a big move, making such a guard.

The man on the left bowed down and said, "The two of you are coming to the village, what are you doing?" Xiang Wentian said: "Disciple of the Songshan faction, I have something to ask to see the four friends of Jiangnan, the four seniors." The man said, "My master has never seen a guest." As he spoke, he wanted to close the door.

Xiang Wentian took out an object from his arms and spread it out, Shen Luo looked at this thing and felt more and more familiar, it turned out to be the Wuyue Lingqi of the Songshan faction, but he didn't know where this Xiang Wentian got it, maybe he still killed the important people in the Songshan faction and snatched it, and thought that it was no wonder that the Orthodox Christians chased and killed him in the original work, maybe he rose because of this flag, and couldn't help but praise secretly: "It's good to rob, it is worthy of the king of heaven, Laozi, this thing that robbed the Songshan faction is even more cool!"

But why did he claim to be a disciple of the Songshan faction, it was because he wanted the Songshan faction to take the blame. Although he had doubts, he thought that he had promised to listen to his arrangements, so he had to say nothing and wait and see what happened.

When the two family members saw this flag, their expressions changed slightly, and they said in unison: "The order flag of the Songshan faction's left alliance leader?"

Xiang Wentian said: "Exactly." The family on the right said: "The four friends of Jiangnan and the Wuyue Sword Sect have never interacted, even if the master of the Songshan Left Alliance arrives in person, my master may not be ...... Not necessarily...... Hey. The following words were not continued, but the meaning was very obvious: "Even if the master of the Left League arrives in person, my master may not receive it." After all, the leader of the left alliance of the Songshan faction is highly respected, and this person is reluctant to speak out of his mouth, but he obviously thinks that the status of the "Four Friends of Jiangnan" is much higher than that of the leader of the left league.

Seeing this, Shen Luo couldn't help but secretly say: "These four friends of Jiangnan don't know what kind of goods they are, and a mere subordinate is so arrogant." I couldn't help but step forward and take off the hat, only to see the white hair like a waterfall.
