The man rode in front of Dongfang Zhen, rolled off his horse, grabbed his horse's bridle, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Dongfang, why are you in such a hurry?

"Your Excellency is ?......" Dongfang Zhen was a little stunned, stared at him fixedly, suddenly came to his senses, slapped his head violently, and laughed: "Oh! You are Brother Yun! I was so confused, I didn't recognize it just now! Damn!" he said, turning over and dismounting, holding his hand tightly with both hands. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Look at what you said, it's too outward!" Yun Xiangjie said with a smile: "You were in a coma all day long in those days, how can you remember?"

"Thank you Brother Yun for saving your life! Dongfang Zhen is toothless and unforgettable!" Dongfang Zhen's eyes were slightly red, and he fell to the ground with a "plop" bow, Yun Xiangjie hurriedly pulled him, but he couldn't pull up.

"Alas, don't be like this!" Yun Xiangjie feigned anger, "Brother Dongfang, if you want to be so polite, you just look down on me Yun Laosan!"

Dongfang Zhen had no choice but to stand up and said with tears in his eyes: "These days, I am looking forward to Brother Yun's return, so that I can thank you in person before leaving." ...... It's just that there are still important things to do, and I can't wait...... I really didn't expect to meet in the end! Brother, I'm so happy!"

"Hehe, I'm really happy to see that you have finally recovered!" Yun Xiangjie patted him on the shoulder and said with emotion: "To be honest, when I saw that you were so seriously injured, I didn't dare to have much hope! But I didn't expect that you not only recovered, but also so quickly!

"Brother Yun, did you just come back?"

"Yes. I went out to run errands a few days ago, and I just came back this morning. After handing over the official duties, I immediately went to see you at the Taiyi Pavilion, but I didn't expect you to leave! So I hurried after you, and thankfully, I was lucky to catch up! Otherwise, it would be trouble!"

"Trouble, what trouble?" Dongfang was puzzled.

"Brother Dongfang, it seems that you don't know yet!" Yun Xiangjie sighed heavily and said: "Now, the entire Ming Dynasty's passes, fortresses, and land and water docks are posted everywhere with notices to arrest you, and there are also portraits of you; Whoever reports the report will be rewarded with three hundred taels of silver, and whoever captures it will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver. ”

Dongfang Zhen looked frustrated, and muttered: "Hey, I think it's the same! When I hid in the cabin that day, someone from the government came to search, but fortunately I was not found!" Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly as if he laughed at himself, "I really didn't expect that I was so valuable, I actually asked for 10,000 taels!"

"Brother Dongfang, once you show up, you will be discovered immediately!" Yun Xiangjie looked solemn, "So, you can't go!"

Dongfang Zhen hesitated: "But...... I really have something important to do! I have to ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered and asked: "By the way, Brother Yun, the eldest lady asked you to help me inquire about it, I don't know if I heard it?"

"I see!"

"Really?!" Dongfang Zhen grabbed his shoulders excitedly and stared into his eyes with grateful and eager eyes.

Yun Xiangjie smiled and said, "Brother Dongfang, don't worry, your master is fine." ”

"Oh, that's good!" Dongfang Zhen finally let go of the heart that had been hanging for these days, and couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Yun, as well as Miss Sang and Senior Brother Zhong of the Kongtong faction, I don't know ......"

"It's all right! They went back to Kongtong early. Yun Xiangjie smiled and pulled him to a big tree on the side of the road, sat down, pointed to the side and signaled, "Brother Dongfang, let's sit and talk." ”

Dongfang Zhen hurriedly sat down and looked at him expectantly.

Yun Xiangjie said: "According to the news I heard, your master has been arrested and sent to Shaolin, but Shaolin did not embarrass your two senior brothers, but let them go." As for your master, after being caught in Shaolin, they didn't dare to do anything, they just detained and waited for the empty abbot to come back and deal with it. ...... After the abbot returned to the temple, he dealt with it in the same way, and continued to detain him, just saying that he wanted your Kunlun faction to hand you over, and then he would release ......."

"Master, your old man has suffered!" Dongfang Zhen muttered to himself, "Master, don't worry, the apprentice will come to your rescue soon!"

Yun Xiangjie shook his head lightly and said, "Brother Dongfang, please forgive my brother for saying bluntly: if you want to go to Shaolin to save people, how easy is it?"

"Hmph, even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you have to break through it!" Dongfang Zhen showed a look of grief and indignation, and said sharply.

"Don't be impulsive!" Yun Xiangjie stared at his eyes and said: "If you do this, you are throwing yourself into a net, and you just fall into the hands of Shaolin!"

Dongfang Zhen hesitated for a while, and suddenly became excited again, "As a disciple, how can you sit back and watch your master suffer? No, you still have to go! It's a big deal to give up this life!" Speaking of this, he grabbed the long sword and was about to get up.

Yun Xiangjie hurriedly pressed his shoulder and shouted: "Brother Dongfang, calm down!

"Even if you die, it's ten thousand times stronger than hiding and stealing your life!" Dongfang Zhen pushed his hand away and stood up violently.

Yun Xiangjie also hurriedly stood up and sneered: "If you really want to leave, I can't stop you! It's just that you can listen to me and then decide, okay?"

Dongfang Zhen gasped and looked at him for a long time, finally threw away the long sword and slowly sat down.

"Later, your Senior Brother Ma Ning and Senior Brother Zhai Xiaotong led all the disciples of your Kunlun Sect to go to Shaolin to ask for someone, but Shaolin said that he would not let your master go, and later, there was a big fight. -- Brother Dongfang, I'm telling you the truth, don't you mind!--Naturally, your Kunlun faction is not an opponent, and you have been driven down the mountain......"

"Ahh

"Fortunately, only a few people were slightly injured, so they didn't get in the way. Because the abbot of the void has always restrained his fellow disciples, so that they must not be killed, they only need to control the situation, so there is no bloody sacrifice...... To be honest, I think Shaolin is a bit arrogant, but it is not unreasonable. Brother Dongfang, what do you think?"

Dongfang Zhen's eyes flashed, and he suddenly sneered: "Maybe! It's just, stupid! A group of stupid donkeys!"

Yun Xiangjie laughed: "Brother Dongfang, your statement is the most appropriate! So, why do we smart people compete with those stupid donkeys?"

Dongfang Zhen lowered his head silently, suddenly raised his head and stared into his eyes, and asked, "Brother Yun, the reason why you are chasing after you is not to say goodbye, but to persuade me to go back, right?"

"Exactly!" Yun Xiangjie said with a straight face: "You are also clear about the current situation: as soon as you appear, not only will Shaolin immediately send masters to arrest you, but the government will also come to arrest you......

"But...... The eyes of the government are all over the world, and once I find out that I am hiding in your Chuxiang League, it will affect your ......"

"Hmph, it's not that easy!" Yun Xiangjie sneered: "Now, it's almost a month since the incident, but have they found out?"

"There is no impermeable wall in the world! As long as they are willing to check, they will inevitably find out......

"Brother Dongfang don't have to worry! I have already thought of this question, brother!" Yun Xiangjie sneered: "On the day I rescued you, only the two gangs of bandits Qingshuiyan and Yangwan knew our details, but now, it is impossible for them to leak their secrets!"

"What do you mean?" Dongfang Zhenyuan looked at him with wide eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that you have killed them?"

"Brother Dongfang, you have experienced their methods! Hmph, these miscellaneous pieces are innocent of death!"

"Are they all killed?"

"Yes. To be on the safe side. ”

Dongfang Zhen shook his head and sighed, and said in his heart: "What a spicy method!" But after thinking about it, the reason why people do this is all for themselves, and they can't help but blame themselves in their hearts.

Yun Xiangjie saw his stunned expression, understood his thoughts, and comforted: "Brother Dongfang doesn't have to feel guilty! The rivers and lakes are like this: either you die, or I die!"

Dongfang Zhen sighed heavily.

"Therefore, whether it is Shaolin or the government, it is almost impossible to find out. Yun Xiangjie smiled and said: "As for your master, the big deal is that he continues to be detained by Shaolin, but he has no worries about his life." ”

"That being said, ...... But in that case, when is it a head?"

"I think, it won't be long!" Yun Xiangjie comforted: "They have been looking for you for so long, but they haven't been able to find you, most of them will think that you are already dead! As long as you die, they will be willing; maybe they will release your master soon! Brother Dongfang, you say, is this the truth?"

Dongfang Zhen tilted his head and looked at the distant mountains, noncommittal.

"There is no better way, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both...... Let's do it this way: you first hide in my Chu Xiang League, secretly observe the current situation, if Shaolin really doesn't let people go, then find an opportunity to rescue your master...... From a bystander's point of view, I think that's the best option!"

Dongfang Zhen was silent for a long time, hesitating.

He agreed with Yun Xiangjie's analysis, but when he thought that after returning to Chu Xiangmeng, he would have to face Shangguan Xiong and Qing'er immediately, so he hesitated. For Shangguan Xiong, he was both sorry and a little afraid, and he was a little resentful of his contempt for himself; For Qing'er, of course, it was that annoying emotional thing, and he really didn't have the courage to face her anymore.

Yun Xiangjie stared at his eyes closely, seeing that his eyes were flickering, his expression was cloudy, and finally he said this sentence that disappointed him:

"No, I still have to go!Brother Yun, thank you for telling me this!"

"Brother Dongfang......" Yun Xiangjie still wanted to persuade him, but was immediately interrupted by him waving his hand:

"Brother Yun, I understand your kindness! I will be careful!"

Yun Xiangjie sighed and said, "Alas, I have said everything that should be said! Since you have already decided, it is useless to persuade more...... However, Brother Dongfang, I have another suggestion: we have a gentleman in the Chu Xiang League who is good at disguise, and I want to beg him to give you disguise before leaving; Would you like to?"

Dongfang Zhen's heart was pounding when he heard this, but as soon as the thought came to his mind, the images of Shangguan Xiong and Qing'er who were self-righteous immediately appeared in front of him, and he immediately shook his head and said, "No need!"

Yun Xiangjie sighed heavily, looked at him silently.

Dongfang Zhen stood up, suddenly remembered, and asked, "By the way, Brother Yun, I wonder if you helped me pick up the flying ring when you saved me that day?"

"Oh, where I am!" Yun Xiangjie seemed to be trying to persuade him to go back, "I came in a hurry, I forgot to bring it to you." Brother Dongfang, let's go back and get it together!"

"No need...... Brother Yun, I'm leaving!

Yun Xiangjie watched him get on the horse, anxious and disappointed, and said loudly: "Brother Dongfang, I know your intentions: I think that Dongfang Zhen is a dignified Kunlun disciple, how can I live in a place like your Chu Xiangmeng!

Dongfang Zhenyan turned around on horseback when he heard this, smiled awkwardly at him, and whispered, "Where?...... How so?"

Yun Xiangjie sneered: "Parting is imminent, brother gives you a word: black and white are inseparable, good and evil are in one thought! Take care!" After speaking, he arched his hand towards him, turned over on the horse's back, and walked away without looking back.

Dongfang sat on the horse in a daze, chewing the last parting words carefully, and suddenly felt that it made sense. In the past, he rarely dealt with people who were not on the righteous path, but he only subconsciously looked down on them and never disdained to be with them, but these days, the people of the Chu Xiang League that he has come into contact with, such as Yun Xiangjie, Wang Shenyi, Qing'er, Li Guy, and maybe even that Shangguan Xiong, which one is not a person who is warm-hearted and affectionate?

※※※

Until Yun Xiangjie left for a while, Dongfang Zhen still did not leave.

He didn't doubt Yun Xiangjie's words at all, and his current situation, as he analyzed: it was indeed easy to expose himself by appearing in the rivers and lakes recklessly like this. So, he started to worry.

What to do?

He simply dismounted, sat back in the place just now, and thought:

The disguise that Brother Yun said just now is indeed a good way! But I owe enough to others, and I may not be able to pay it back for the rest of my life, so how can I be embarrassed to be cheeky to beg others?......

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves on the road, and the deafening power of the East was quite good, and I heard that there were three horses.

"Isn't it that Brother Yun is back again?, but how can there be three of them?" Dongfang Zhen Nahan.

In the dust, it was really three horses wrapped in smoke and dust galloping in. Dongfang Zhen could see clearly, it was Yun Xiangjie who rushed to the front, followed by a man in Tsing Yi with two swords on his back, and the last one was vaguely the two of them riding together.

"Brother Dongfang, it turns out that you haven't left yet! Great!" Yun Xiangjie's eyes were sharp, and he saw the people and horses under the tree at a glance, and his shouting was full of surprise.

Dongfang shook out, stared at the last person on the horse, and suddenly his eyes straightened.

A man in white controls a horse, and in front of him sits a stunning girl in an emerald green shirt, who is it not Shangguan Qing?

In the blink of an eye, the three horsemen all arrived in front of them and jumped off their horses one after another, but Shangguan Qing sat motionless on the horse, looking at Dongfang Zhen blankly, and a trace of tears was already oozing from the corners of his eyes.

Dongfang was stunned and said happily: "Qing'er, you're here!"

Shangguan Qing's face turned cold, turned sideways as if negative, and wiped her tears without a trace.

"Let me introduce it to you," Yun Xiangjie smiled and pointed at the man with two swords on his back, "This is my Chu Xiang League's Leng Jingtian Protector," and pointed to the man in white and said, "This is the eldest brother of Bai Zhanhong, the master of the Divine Sword Hall, who has recently joined my gang." Then he introduced Dongfang Zhen to the two.

Dongfang Zhen smiled and hugged his fists to salute the two, seeing that the cold meridian was white and beardless, of medium stature, about thirty-three or four years old; Bai Zhanhong seemed to be a little older, with a square face and sword eyebrows, and a very majestic figure, only slightly shorter than himself, and a narrow sheathed Tang knife hanging from his waist.

"Brother Yun said something wrong," Bai Zhanhong said with a smile: "Hehe, I have been in the Chu Xiang League for seven years!"

Dongfang was shocked to see his bearing, and his heart was shocked: this person's martial arts must be very extraordinary, and he should be above the cold meridian sky!

"Oh,...... This little brother really doesn't know! Big Brother Bai is not strange!" Yun Xiangjie explained to him embarrassedly.

Bai Zhanhong smiled, looked at Dongfang Zhen, and said: "Dongfang Shaoxia, the eldest lady wants to say goodbye to you, and the alliance leader is specially ordered to escort you with Leng Protector." Then he turned around and helped Shangguan Qing to dismount, and said with a smile: "Miss, let's talk slowly!"

After speaking, Xiang Leng Jingtian and Yun Xiangjie spoke, and the two of them understood, took the ponytail and walked away with him.

Shangguan Qing's face was haggard, she bit her lower lip and looked at him, standing in place without saying a word.

"Qing'er, I'...... Before leaving, I wanted to say goodbye to you, but ...... But I don't dare to ...... "Dongfang shook and broke the dullness."

"Really?" Shangguan Qing sneered, "I didn't expect our Dongfang Shaoxia's courage to be so small, and he didn't even dare to see me, a weak woman!"

Dongfang Zhen seemed to have been stabbed in the heart, and his face suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her.

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Shangguan Qing slowly softened, sighed lightly, and said quietly: "Brother Dongfang, do you know? I swore in my heart that I would never pay attention to you or see you again...... However, when I really heard that you were gone, I couldn't restrain myself and chased after you like crazy......"

Dongfang Zhen was very moved, stepped forward to hold her hands, but felt that her hands were cold, trembling slightly, and seeing her pale, he couldn't help but reach out and touch her forehead, the tentacles were hot, and asked in surprise: "Qing'er, are you sick?!"

"It's nothing, it's just a cold. Seeing that he cared so much about himself, Shangguan Qing had a smile on his face, "I wanted to chase after me myself, but I didn't know how to ride a horse, and I fainted before I ran far." ...... So, my father sent Big Brother Bai and Leng Protector to escort me...... I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch up, but I really caught up with ......."

"Thank you! thank you......" Dongfang Zhen was so moved that he didn't know what to say, but just muttered repeatedly.

"When I see you, I'm satisfied!" Shangguan Qing held his hand tightly, looked up at him and said with concern: "Brother Dongfang, this trip to the rivers and lakes is extremely dangerous, along the way, you must be careful!"

"Yes. ”

"Alas,...... Say goodbye today, I don't know what to do next...... Is there a day to meet......" Shangguan Qing said as she spoke, her eyes red again.

Dongfang Zhen understood her intentions, and had an urge to immediately promise to come to see her in the future, but Sang Qinghong's shadow immediately appeared in his mind, and he paused stiffly.

"Parting is imminent...... Shangguan Qing hesitated, looked at Bai Zhanhong and them in the distance a little shyly, and saw that they didn't look here, suddenly blushed his cheeks, and said in a loud voice: "Brother Dongfang,...... You...... You can...... Kiss me?"

Dongfang Zhen suddenly seemed to be blocked by something, and hugged her slender waist tightly, kissing her almost breathlessly.

After a long while, Shangguan Qing broke free gently, her face was full of happiness and intoxication, she held Dongfang Zhen's face lightly with both hands, stared at his eyes for a moment, and said softly: "Brother Dongfang, Qing'er understands, you still have mine in your heart! Heh, Qing'er is enough for this life!"

"Qing'er, you promise me: you must take care of your body!"

"Yes. Shangguan Qing nodded and said reluctantly: "Brother Dongfang, you can go...... Qing'er will ask the Bodhisattva to bless you every day!"

Dongfang Zhen kissed her forehead, turned over on the horse, and said loudly: "Brother Yun, Brother Bai, Leng Protector! I'm going! Please protect Qing'er!"

The three of them answered, and walked quickly to this side.

Shangguan Qing looked at the handsome figure on horseback sadly, and suddenly burst into tears, only to feel that the world was white, and said loudly as if he was dying: "Brother Dongfang, remember me! Remember Qing'er......"

Dongfang Zhen turned around and looked at her fixedly, and nodded solemnly.

※※※

Dongfang Zhenzong ran out for several miles in one breath, his heart was like a mess, and the corners of his eyes were cold, he didn't know that they were tears that had not been blown dry.

Running and running, he suddenly remembered Yun Xiangjie's words again, and he was shocked, so he slowed down his horse.

Well, it's really easy to expose, yes...... It's better to ask for others than for yourself, can't you think of a way for yourself?

He looked around and saw a thatched hut near his left, and his eyes lit up. So he fastened his horse to the trunk of the mulberry tree by the roadside, took his baggage and his sword, and walked towards it.

"Whew!" a dirty black dog burst out of the corner of the wall and barked at him, but when he saw that the other man was not afraid, he still strode towards him, and was startled, barking and retreating.

"Dog, dog, what are you called?" came out with a gray-haired old woman on a bamboo stick.

"Old man, excuse me, I'm passing by. Dongfang Zhen said softly: "I want to borrow clothes from you." ”

"Don't bark! it's a guest!" the old woman scolded the dog, walked a few steps closer, squinted at the other party, saw that it was a neatly dressed young man, and asked suspiciously, "Borrow clothes......?"

"I'm going to tear my clothes!" Dongfang Zhen was overjoyed, opened the baggage, picked out a silver ingot weighing ten taels, and stuffed it into her hand, "Old man, quickly find me two bodies!"

The old woman felt her hand sink, and she looked at her palm, almost unable to believe her eyes, "You...... What are you doing here? ...... Too much...... Too much! too much......"

Dongfang Zhen took a set of crumpled indigo coarse linen clothes from the pile of clothes that the old woman took out and put them in the baggage, and then picked out a pair of shabby gray clothes and gray pants to put on.

"These are the clothes of my unsuccessful sons, if you like them, take them all!" The silver obtained was enough to buy new clothes several times more than the land, and the old woman was of course not stingy.

"That's enough!" Dongfang Zhen turned around and walked a few steps, thought about it and turned back, and said, "Old man, I want to borrow something from you again." ”

This time, he borrowed some grass ash and leftovers.

Dongfang Zhen found a secluded place, cut off a lock of hair with a long sword, cut it into inches and pieces, and then pounded the rice, carefully gluing the cut hair to the upper lip, chin, and cheeks. After being busy for a while, he finally glued it all on, and then wiped it all on his face with grass ash, and he became a thin black man with a full beard.

He took a picture in the paddy fields, and felt like a peddler with a bit of fist and foot skills, and there were countless such people in the rivers and lakes, and it was generally not very noticeable. He was quite satisfied with this image, so he got on his horse and rode away happily.

He ran for several miles, and came to a hill with high mountains and dense forests. The mountain wind gusted, blowing thousands of branches swaying, and thousands of leaves rustling.

With a "boom", a white object flew down from a treetop and slashed down on his chest like lightning.

Dongfang exclaimed in shock, and with both hands on the horse's back, he rose up, and a head flew out diagonally in mid-air, narrowly avoiding this move, but the horse could not resist the tremendous force of this support, and fell to his knees with a neigh.

The mass missed, whirling and flying back to the treetops.

"Ahh
