Chapter 37: The Eight Styles of the Heavenly Dragon
One of the red horses rushed down from the mountains, stepping on the wall longitudinal rocks, the shape was like soaring, and in a blink of an eye came to Luan Tianbao, so fast speed, superb riding skills, the red horse paused, everyone took a closer look, the red horse was tall and tall, the bones were thick and rugged, the horse's mane and tail were dense and soft and curly, fluttering in the wind, the fur was red, the flames were dazzling, but it was a rare flame horse, the knight was burly and vigorous, the silver plate jade face was full, the deep eyebrows were separated, the eyes were mighty, the essence was trembling, aggressive, the head was tied with a copper crown, the sideburns were flying next to the ears, the crimson flame sword clothes, the belt was divided, rough and majestic, and the fierce power was tengningγ Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Luan Tianbao was secretly taken aback when he saw that the person who came was extraordinary, and immediately bowed and asked, "Your Excellency's surname, what advice do you have?" β
The red-clothed knight snorted coldly, and did not return the salute, but actually pulled out a long sword from behind his back and held it horizontally in front of his chest, and in the endless dragon roar, the three-foot dragon spring emitted a dazzling light like green ice, making people's pupils shrink and their backs tremble, there is no doubt that this is a magnificent divine soldier, the red-clothed knight raised his sword and said, "This son is Fang Ling, the son of the Northern Jun Tianlong, and I have long heard that the five northern provinces catch the head of the 'eight-armed golden spider' Luan Tianbao and his subordinates five tigers fly to capture the five northern provinces, and the power is black and white, this son wants to confirm whether these belong to the rumors of the rivers and lakes today?"
As soon as the name of the red-clothed knight was reported, Luan Tianbao and all the people were like hearing thunder, this surprise was not trivial! You must know that the name of Beijun Tianlong Gongzi is the first of the four major princes in the world, and the Tianlong sword in his hand is extremely sharp, unstoppable, he has never met an opponent since his debut, and I don't know how many famous heroes have been defeated under his sword, and they will hate for life.
Although Luan Tianbao was born in the dead rivers and lakes, experienced a hundred battles, and died nine times in his life, but on the occasion of the two emperors' orders, facing such a powerful opponent, his heart was full of fear, he quickly calmed down his emotions, and said euphemistically to the prince of Tianlong; The name of the son of Tianlong, such as thunder, this capture has long admired for a long time, today can witness the demeanor of the son, the honor to be favored, if you can get the guidance of the son, since the benefit is not shallow, enough to comfort the long-cherished wish of life, but please understand, this capture today the emperor's order is in the body, escorting the border of the military salary and silver, the relationship is important, it is difficult to separate, in the future, another time, must listen to the teachings of the son. β
The person who came was Fang Ling, the son of Beijun Tianlong, since he defeated Nanxiu Gongzi in the Liugong Mansion in Jinling City and welcomed the beauty of Princess Yanxiang, he became more and more arrogant, and he didn't take the characters of the rivers and lakes in his eyes at all, he saw that the other party refused to accept his challenge, his handsome face changed, and he said in a deep voice; "Mr. Luan, if you don't want to appreciate your face, that's good, this son will kill a large number of your subordinates first, and then say, this son is a crane in the rivers and lakes, so I don't care what the emperor's order of the court is whether it is the emperor's order or not!"
Luan Tianbao was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, and secretly thought, "You kid is too arrogant, you don't have a little bit of everyone's demeanor, how old the old enmity between Nanxiu Gongzi and me is, you can calmly deal with it and eliminate misunderstandings." At the same time, he was afraid that he would hurt his subordinates by playing tricks, so he had to admit it, "Since the son is so insistent, Ben Zhu has to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman." After finishing speaking, he turned over and dismounted, and quickly untied the weapon Xuantie Measuring Heaven Ruler and the Soul Locking Copper Chain on his waist with both hands.
Fang Ling also turned over and jumped off the horse, the person did not stand firmly on the ground, he had already floated diagonally, the Heavenly Dragon Sword drew a long cold rainbow, the strong wind roared lightly, the momentum was like a dragon soaring into the sky, unstoppable, and directly attacked Luan Tian Leopard.
Luan Tianbao's right hand waved the Xuantie Measuring Heaven Ruler to seal the Tianlong Sword, 'dang' There was a loud bang, the sparks flashed, the gold and iron whined, Luan Tianleopard's right hand felt a slight numbness in the tiger's mouth, he knew that the opponent's skill was very strong and profound, and quickly retreated to avoid its edge, and at the same time, the yellow light flashed in his left hand, and the soul locking copper chain was struck, not allowing the opponent to take advantage of the situation to force himself.
Fang Ling's eyes showed a look of excitement, once he touched the opponent just now, he already felt that the opponent had some weight, naturally excited, the offensive was unabated, the sword move had changed, the Tianlong Sword instantly spread a sword net, the cold current rolled, Qing Feng screamed, the powerful wind and sword qi had forced the people of the escort team far away, chaotic, the flat ground was like a tornado, and the Tianlong Sword Road tightly covered Luan Tianbao in the killing process.
Luan Tian Leopard is called' Eight-armed golden spider', is to be dexterous and changeable fast and light to dominate the rivers and lakes, so to get the name of eight arms, his defensive attack techniques are naturally known for fast, people describe him as like he has eight arms, his big Tiangang tendons and bones to grab the glove road is more densely entangled, the follow-up strength is very long, but also can be long-distance burst prominent, mainly highlight a sticky word, and the enemy, his technique will be tightly glued to the opponent, with the opponent changes and change, but also like weaving spider webs, the opponent layer upon layer of wrapping, and finally engulf the opponent to restrain the opponent, he dominates the world, a hug to the five northern provinces to catch the head of the fast, so that those eaves go to the wall of the river and ocean thieves, The troll hero in the underworld is terrified of him, he does have extraordinary skills and courage, and he is considered a generation of heroes in the Northern Martial Arts, but the opponent he met today is too strong, he has never met such a fast sword in his life, and the opponent's strong and profound Gangyuan true power seeped out on the sword leaf, gradually aggravated, almost suffocating himself, breathing heavily, and clumsy hands and feet.
In the fierce battle, Fang Ling became more and more energetic, and he pursed his lips sharply and let out a sharp roar, the whistling sound became louder and louder, and the middle qi was full, like a dragon chanting in the abyss, accompanied by the roar, his body had already rushed into the air, and his sword momentum in the air was even faster, and the sword light was more dazzling, and he used the supreme lore of the Heavenly Dragon Sword Road. Tianlong Eight Style', the whole sky is full of rainbow flying snow, Han Hong rotates, a large piece of sword light is like a waterfall from the sky and pours, the group covers Luan Tian Leopard, the sword momentum is like a tide, mighty and mighty, the masculine male and vigorous and vigorous interpretation is vividly and vividly, the king is unique, there is really a yellow cloud and a thousand miles of moving wind, and the momentum of the white wave nine flowing snow mountains.
In the light and shadow of the sword, Luan Tianbao already seemed to have staggering footwork, slow reaction to movements, and the famous weapons in his hand, the Xuantie Measuring Heaven Ruler and the Soul Locking Copper Chain in his hand, were also pressed by the Heavenly Dragon Sword to the point that he could only protect himself, and he could not exert his usual power at all.
The people watching were depressed, creepy, and dejected, and they were afraid that they would not be able to recover from the horror of the fight for many years.
Fang Lingba, according to the air superiority, he has already used several styles of 'Tianlong Eight Style', although the opponent was killed at the expense of one or the other, embarrassed, but he never knocked the opponent down, at the moment secretly raised a breath of true qi, gathered strength, and used the fifth type of 'Sea Exploration Style', his body fell straight from the air, and the sword blade with a line of shock, stabbed at the Luan Tian Leopard on the ground with lightning speed.
There was a violent explosion, the sparks splashed, and they swept away, Fang Ling was already standing firmly on the ground, the Tianlong Sword was also inserted into the scabbard, the sunset had already converged to the last remnants of the sun, the sword shadows in the sky slowly dispersed, the sky and the earth appeared before the dusk of the dusk, Luan Tianbao curled up on the grass, his mouth gushed with blood, his face was sallow, his hands were tightly covering his chest, his weapon had been smashed off by the Tianlong Sword, and he had lost his former majesty.
Seeing a generation of heroes defeated by his own sword, decadent and exhausted, Tianlong Gongzi Jun showed a smug smile on his face, like a hunter admiring the prey he caught, but deep down he also admired the other party, after all, he used the fifth form of the 'Tianlong Eight Style' to knock him down, admiring it for a while, Fang Ling burst out from between his teeth; Then he got on his horse and climbed up the hill again.
Another red horse on the mountain sat on the Yanxiang princess Ouyang Jinzhu, she straddled her 'carmine' mount, looking down to watch a fight under the mountain, she was still high-waisted and low-cut round-necked Qian red butterfly dress, covered with a scarlet cloak, with a shallow smile, the spring love rippled in anticipation, and the flowers were showing, she saw Fang Ling running close to her, and asked coquettishly, "Why didn't you kill him?"
Fang Ling sighed and replied, "In the end, it is a generation of heroes, and now this is enough to make him ruined." β
"No poison and no husband, if you want to become a great person, you must learn to be ruthless. Ouyang Jinzhu continued to blame.
The two red horses galloped away into the twilight.
When the night became dark, Sima Bei and Bao Kun hurriedly helped Luan Tianbao up, made him sit cross-legged, and fed him the Jinchuang pill, so that he could adjust his true qi to heal his injuries, and everyone was waiting quietly.
Luan Tianbao closed his eyes and drooped his eyelids, and slowly moved Gangyuan Zhenqi to caress Ren Du's second pulse and the acupoints of his whole body, his internal injuries were very serious, but he still relied on the deep and exquisite foundation of internal strength, half an hour later, his face was shiny, his breathing was even and slender, and he gradually recovered, he opened his eyes suddenly, and wanted to tell everyone to hurry, he was worried about the safety of the military salary and silver, and estimated that he could avoid forced walking, and wanted to find a safe place to continue to heal.
Sima Bei, Bao Kun and everyone were relieved to see that the chief catcher opened his eyes, and Bao Kun saw that the chief catcher seemed to have something to explain, so he hurriedly stepped forward.
The clouds covered the moon, the stars were scarce, and in the faint night, many horses came out of the dense forests around them at some point, and they stared at Luan Tianbao and the others.
Luan Tianbao and everyone were taken aback, staring at the people and horses who quietly came out of the dense forest with wide eyes, they walked in a tiger's ambush, walking lightly, they were by no means ordinary bandits gathering in the Wuthering Mountains, the head catcher knew that the comer was by no means an idle person with many years of experience in the rivers and lakes, it seemed that he had planned it, and the thing he had been worried about finally happened, suffering from serious injuries, it was really a little helpless.
A tall and sturdy man in the first place rolled off the saddle from his horse, saluted Luan Tianbao with his fists, and said to himself, "In the Black Dragon Gate of the Lower Manchu Dynasty, the fourth demon in the 'Black Water Eight Demons' of the Lower Manchu Qing Dynasty, the fourth demon 'Panshan Giant Python' Shahengqiu, is also the person who has been hunted down by the chief catcher and the imperial court, and there are also people from the Heavenly Demon Mystery Palace here, but the current situation of the head catcher is very poor, so I will not recommend it for the time being." In the faint night, he could vaguely see his hideous face, bare chest and arms, hair swirling densely, and a python entangled pattern tattooed on his chest, after a slight pause, he continued, "For the sake of our many years of dealings, I will not embarrass you below, leave the vehicle loaded with silver, and you and your people can get out of the way." β
Before he finished speaking, Sima Bei had already jumped out, stretched out his hand and scolded him angrily: "Shameless defeat, you have killed people and sold goods in Gansu, and the crimes you have committed are already heinous, and now you are committed to a foreign race and betrayed your country, and this arrest will immediately put you on the spot!" Sima Bei is not tall, rough and sturdy, short and concise, especially with his leg skills and endurance beyond ordinary people, it can be said that he has traveled 800 miles a day and raced horses, so he won the title of 'shrinking the ground' on the rivers and lakes.
"Stop-" Luan Tianbao roared and stopped Sima Bei, he judged the situation, knowing that he was seriously injured, his strength was definitely not as good as the other party, if he fought hard, he would definitely make a useless loss, he slowly stood up and spoke to Sima Bei and the others, "Leave the silver two carts, let's go!"
Seeing Luan Tianbao and escorting the silver two to catch the fast and slippery away, Sha Hengqiu showed a smug smile on his face, the soldiers are not bloody, and the four hundred thousand taels of military pay and silver are two hands down, but his eyes flashed a line of murder, as long as an order, Luan Tianbao and the crowd will be corpses all over the field, out of the vicious spirit that was chased by these fast hunters like a lost dog, and can also avenge the dead brothers in the Great Black Sheath Ridge, when the big Wu Sheath Ridge gathered in Gansu Province, the imperial court sent troops to recruit and suppress it several times, and the bandits relied on the Fengling natural danger to maneuver, and the court lost troops every time and returned in vain, which is damn goodThe 'Five Tigers Flying Catch' assisted the imperial army in the conquest and suppression, and only then did the entire army of the bandits in Dawusheling be defeated, and several village owners were also killed under their ruler chains, but Shahengqiu understood that if the battle broke out, Luan Tianbao and the other two tigers would fight the trapped beasts, which would also be quite troublesome and tricky, so he had to forcibly endure the idea of revenge for the time being.
After Luan Tianbao and the others returned to the Jinling City Mansion, Zhu Yunding, the commander of the Mianyi Guard, couldn't help but say, and immediately ordered the Mianyi Guard to take Luan Tianbao, Sima Bei, and Bao Kun in iron chains, put Sima Bei and Bao Kun into prison, and take Luan Tianbao alone to a secret room in the back garden of the prefect's mansion for interrogation.
Zhu Yunding is burly, with a round waist and broad shoulders, a square face with Chinese characters, cheeks and sideburns and beards, such as iron needles and copper thorns, a pair of eyes under the thick black eyebrows are as sharp as eagles, emitting the cold light of Sensen, he is infinitely powerful, galloping martial arts with a heavy overlord sawtooth knife, the people of the rivers and lakes are called 'Saibawang', but he is suspicious, narrow-minded, arrogant, he is sitting in the middle of a case, and on the left stands the leader of the Jinyi Wei Zheng' Fu Demon Hand 'Du Gang, the ape arm is long, the body is straight, strong and capable, and on the right stands the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, the 'Grimace Centipede' Yan Tiecheng, with an iron-blue face, full of scars and scars, like a centipede, hideous and terrifying.
Zhu Yunding shrugged his shoulders and shouted at Luan Tianbao, who was standing in the middle of the house in iron shackles, and asked, "Lord Luan, are you guilty? If you lose the military salary and silver taels of the imperial court, if the border is in an emergency, and the soldiers are in an uproar, who can bear the consequences? According to the law, this commander can immediately execute you and your subordinates and report to the imperial court. β
Luan Tianbao shook his head, shook off the loose hair that covered his eyes, and replied coldly, "Lord Zhu, when you set off to escort the military salary and silver, Luan Mou stated that the Black Dragon Gate of the Manchu clan and the people of the Heavenly Demon Mystery Palace colluded with each other, and they had already revealed their hiding in the south of the Yangtze River, and asked Lord Zhu to send more people, but Lord Zhu refused, may I ask Lord Zhu, why didn't you send more people to Jinling City with so many masters? Why is it just that my criminal department is responsible for arresting and escorting the transport?" My lord, you are clearly a fake public servant, a personal vendetta, and a lowly position in injustice, Luan is a good man twenty years later, but the military salary and silver were really robbed out of the customs by the Manchu people, and when the time comes, there is something wrong with the border pass, and Lord Zhu can't eat and walk around at that time. β
When Luan Tianbao was young, he was strong in blood and blood, and he once defeated Zhu Yunding in the ring set up by the imperial court, Zhu Yunding has always held a grudge, and after taking charge of the imperial court brocade guard, he is even more provoking Luan Tianbao everywhere.
"It's nonsense!" Zhu Yunding shouted; "A large amount of military salaries and silver taels have already been collected in Jinling City, so won't this commander send people to guard against it? Lord Luan is obviously derelict in his duties, and he still wants to use strong words and quibbles to come to the city! Throw Lord Luan into prison and behead him by military law on a certain day. β
After Luan Tianbao was escorted away, Zhu Yunding stood up and paced back and forth in the room, there was a burst of comfortable happiness in his heart, he was defeated and bruised by Luan Tianbao back then, and he raised in bed for a long time.
Two days later, another case of the last batch of two hundred thousand soldiers and silver taels brought back to Jinling City from Yangzhou Mansion was also robbed in the area of Purple Mountain. Zhu Yunding couldn't help but say, ordered the two to be put in iron shackles and put into prison, and the military salary and silver were robbed again, so that Zhu Yunding also had a great shock, and the strangest thing is that after such a large number of military salaries and silver were moved, he let his guards and Jinling catch quickly, and the garrison carried out a grate comb like a search day and night, and there was no trace of whereabouts, he initially thought that the robbers of the military salary and silver were just mountain and forest bandits, and there were many people who were familiar with the terrain of mountains and forests, as long as they found out where the military salary and silver were located, so many elite masters under their own hands, or mobilize local garrisonsIt shouldn't take much trouble to recover the lost property, but now it seems that things are not so simple, and he inevitably begins to worry.
Jinling City also went to the Liugong Mansion to tell the alliance lord about the loss of military salaries and silver, and asked the alliance leader to help, the court blamed it, and the Jinling City Mansion was also difficult to get rid of, Liu Yigong listened to what happened, he was indignant, and rubbed his hands again and again and said anxiously;" This Zhu Yunding is really a bastard thing, he reports personal grievances regardless of the safety of the country, if the head catcher and the tiger catcher are beheaded, not only is it a great injustice, but also there are fewer guards in Kyoto in the north, and the military salary and silver are even more insecure, how can the Kyoto masters brought by Zhu Yunding be compared with the head catcher and the tiger catcher...... "After sending away the fast catchers, Liu Yigong immediately ordered to send elite people to help find the whereabouts of the military salary and silver two.
Liu Yigong pondered for a long time in the lobby, and then called his eldest apprentice Huang Yan, handed him his name post, and instructed, "You immediately take the name card of the teacher to the palace to meet Lord Zhu Yunding, and say that the teacher will have a banquet in the mansion at night, if he refuses, you will say that the family teacher will report the true situation of the robbery of the military salary and silver to the court and even the saint." β
After Huang Yan left, he called the housekeeper again and instructed him to call Nanxiu Gongzi, Jiang Shuyuan, Tianlong Gongzi, and Murong Gongzi to discuss important matters.
The butler frowned and said, "Prince Tianlong and Princess Yanxiang have long since gone crazy, and they haven't seen anyone for a long time. β
"Oh," Liu Yigong scolded angrily after hearing this, "This Fang Gongzi and Miss Ouyang are too unorthodox, even if they leave, should they come to say goodbye to the old man! You see that the Phoenix Sect Leader Princess Tianxiang has a lot of courtesies, and when she leaves, she is old and politely resigned, and that Fang Gongzi insists that he is one of the four princes, he is strong and aggressive, and he actually disregards the safety of the country, and injured Lord Luan on the way to the escort, leaving a gap between the Black Dragon Gate and the Demon Palace, what is this called? This is called aiding and abusive, and the old man was about to teach that kid a lesson, but let him slip away. β
Not long after, Jian Nanhong, Jiang Shuyuan, and Murong Junnan came to the living room of the middle hall one after another, Liu Yigong beckoned everyone to take a seat, and after the servants offered fragrant tea, Liu Yigong explained the robbery of the military salary and silver before and after, and also told the story of Luan's head being injured by Tianlong Gongzi on the way to escort.
After hearing this, several people were surprised, and Jian Nanhong couldn't help but say, "It seems that the people of the Black Dragon Gate and the Demon Palace have begun to make trouble, we must come up with countermeasures, gather strength and strike hard by surprise, and recapture the military salary and silver." β
Liu Yigong sighed and said anxiously, "The key is that it is difficult to find the traces of the Black Dragon Gate and the Demon Palace, four hundred thousand taels of silver, so many silver taels, have disappeared without a trace in the area of the Purple Mountain, leaving no traces, to be honest, even the old people can hardly believe this fact, and they have to admire the means of the Demon Palace......"
Jiang Shuyuan also sighed and said, "Tianlong Gongzi suddenly challenged President Luan's headcatcher, and it was on the way to escort him, so there was a lot of strange things in it, and it was definitely not an ordinary skill exchange...... The Demon Palace does not need to rob the military salary and silver taels, which also shows that the news of the Demon Palace is captured very accurately, which can be described as a sophisticated calculation, but I still believe that although the Dragon Prince is arrogant, he is not in the company of the Demon Palace, he should be used by the Demon Palace. β
Liu Yigong looked at him, nodded and agreed, "Jiang Daxia is right, if you think about it carefully, the Demon Palace not only easily robbed the military salary and silver, but also took advantage of the old gap between Zhu Yunding and Luan Zong Catcher to knock down Boss Luan Catcher and Tiger Catcher in a row, killing people without seeing blood!"
Murong Junnan couldn't help but be fair to Liu Yi, "Alliance leader, since the Demon Palace and the Black Dragon Gate people have already taken action, we can't ignore it, we should give a counterattack, please give the alliance leader an order, take the lead in the next place, behead the Demon Palace and the Black Dragon Gate people, and recover the military salary and silver." β
Liu Yigong shook his head and replied, "Murong Shaoxia's spirit is commendable, but now the Demon Palace is hidden in the shadows, and there is no trace of it, so we have nowhere to do it! β
Jian Nanhong thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Alliance leader, the students guess that the people of the Demon Palace and the Black Dragon Sect will hide the military salary and silver in the mountains and fields, and then take it out after the wind has passed, so they can't find any traces of it for a while?"
Liu Yigong replied with a wry smile, "Sword Gongzi, that's four hundred thousand silver taels, even the boxes and vehicles loaded are countless, and I have also asked the soldiers of the army guarding the imperial mausoleum in Purple Mountain, they have not heard any sound, Jinling City and the garrison have dispatched a large number of people to make a strict search of the mountains, woods and ravines, especially Jinling City, they are all rich in detective ability and experience in the rivers and lakes, and the slightest abnormal clue cannot escape their eyes, not to mention such a large amount of silver taels." β
Everyone continued to discuss the whereabouts of the military salaries and silver taels, until at dusk, the voice of a servant sounded outside the gate, and the voice reported, "The commander of the Jinyi Guard has sent Lord Zhu here!"
Liu Yigong immediately stood up and instructed the housekeeper to prepare for the banquet, while he tidied up his clothes and took Jian Nanhong and others out of the middle gate.
Zhu Yunding's soft satin scarf was tied to his head, dressed in a brocade silk dress with flowers and clouds, bright and heroic, with Du Gang, Yan Tiehu was the deputy commander, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and walked into the gate of Liu Gong's mansion with high spirits.
In the middle hall of the side hall, the giant wax arm candle, the lights are bright, the light is as bright as day, the slaves and maids are busy, a bright lacquered large round table in the middle has been placed on the sumptuous dishes, the unique Jiangnan mountain and sea delicacies with the same name wine silver chopsticks jade cup, the style is very very, Liu Yi led everyone to sit in order, and introduced everyone to each other, everyone was polite to each other.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, Liu Yigong introduced the topic to the point: "Lord Zhu, the imperial court already knows about the robbery of the huge amount of military pay twice, I don't know what Lord Zhu thinks about this matter?"
Zhu Yunding smiled faintly, the iron-needle-like beard on his cheeks and temples also trembled, and as soon as the laughter stopped, he replied, "Thanks to the alliance leader's concern, I am ashamed to say that after Zhu went to Jinling City in the south of the Yangtze River, he should have visited the alliance leader, but because he was entangled in official business, he did not have time, and I hope the alliance leader will understand!" The case of the robbery of the imperial court's military salary and silver is really a poor and perfunctory arrest of the criminal department, but this matter is really important, the criminal department has been imprisoned and convicted, and Zhu is also making amends, sending capable detectives everywhere, once the whereabouts of the silver are found, they will immediately send people to recover it. β
Zhu Yunding looked at everyone, and continued to talk eloquently, "It's just that the place where the military salary and silver are lost is in the jungle of the Purple Mountain, the remaining veins of the Purple Mountain are too big and too wide, in addition to the royal forbidden place of the Emperor's Tomb, the Jinyi Guard and the Jinling Capture and the local garrison are closely searching the Purple Mountain, and the envoy thinks that it should not take a day or two to find out the hiding place of the military salary and silver taels, and then wipe out those mountain bandits and bandits." β
Liu Yigong smiled faintly and said, "Lord Zhu, these people who robbed the military salary and silver are by no means ordinary mountain and forest bandits and Jiangyang thieves, but the elite masters of the Black Dragon Sect of the Manchu Qing Kingdom outside the Beiyi Pass and the mysterious people of the Heavenly Demon Mysterious Palace on the rivers and lakes are the joint efforts. β
After Zhu Yunding raised a glass of wine and drank it himself, he interrupted Liu Yigong's words and said, "The alliance leader doesn't have to excuse the criminal department's arrest, just like what the alliance leader said about how powerful the Black Dragon Gate of the Manchu Qing Kingdom and the Heavenly Demon Mysterious Palace are, but when they meet the envoy, they will also be completely wiped out, you must know that the Jinyi Guard under the command of this seat can be said to bring together the essence of the world's martial arts, and those barbarians and the side doors on the rivers and lakes are not worth a blow?"
Seeing him get carried away, Liu Yigong and most of the people present were a little angry, but it was also inconvenient to make a haircut, Liu Yigong stroked his beard and continued; Lord Zhu, the old man has repeatedly explained that it is not the fault of Mr. Luan and the tiger catchers, they are too few people, and it is difficult to compete with the Black Dragon Gate and the Demon Palace, I hope that the Lord will focus on the overall situation, and immediately release the head catcher and the tiger catcher, everyone will cooperate sincerely and work together to deal with the Black Dragon Gate and the Demon Palace, and ensure that the military salary and silver go north, if the adult is stubborn, he will underestimate the Black Dragon Gate and the Demon Palace, and the old man asserts that the adult is called self-cutting arm, even if he can recover the military salary and silver taels, and transport them out of the Jiangnan territory safely, but on the way north, he will definitely repeat the mistakes of the pastγ β
Zhu Yunding has been in the officialdom for many years, and naturally knows the serious consequences of losing the military salary and silver, he has now realized that the person who robbed the military salary and silver is by no means an ordinary reckless rogue, but he still has some luck psychology, even if the person who robbed the military salary and silver is the person from the Black Dragon Gate and the Demon Palace, no matter how powerful they are, as long as they meet their own brocade guards, they can be subjugated, but if there is a mistake, it will be really unimaginable, just like the Jiangnan martial arts alliance leader in front of him said that he regrets it, as long as he nodded and promised to release Luan Tianbao and others, and give the head of the football alliance face, he can rely on local forces to ensure that the military salary and silver go north smoothly, but in this way, and lose a good chance to retaliate...... He was nervous and hesitant, and in order to hide his complicated emotions, he picked up a large crab with chopsticks and bit it hard.
"Lord Zhuβ" Jiang Shuyuan shouted as he raised his glass to show respect, and then finished the wine in the cup; Adults may live in the palace, don't care too much about the things on the rivers and lakes, this Heavenly Demon Mystery Palace said it is powerful, adults may not believe it yet, Shaolin Temple once issued an iron Buddha order, widely invited famous men are sending elite masters to form the Iron Alliance strong team, the Demon Palace to encircle and suppress, but the Demon Palace disappeared without a trace overnight, and the Iron Alliance Jin Travel Blade Province did not find its traces, and when the Iron Alliance strong team was exhausted, they disbanded themselves and returned to their divisions, the Demon Palace suddenly appeared, and lightning-like attacks on the masters of each sect, so that the famous and decent people suffered heavy blows, so far the people in the rivers and lakes are talking about the Tiger Color, the Demon Palace is not only cunning and treacherous, but also fierce and violent, the Lord still listens to the words of the alliance leader, release Luan Zong Hunting Head and Tiger Hunting, and work together to deal with the Black Dragon Gate and the Demon Palace, and ensure that the military salary and silver go north smoothly. β
Du Gang, the orthodox leader of the Jinyi Guard, trembled slightly, and couldn't help but ask Jiang Shuyuan, "Jiang Daxia, these are all rumors in the rivers and lakes, Du Mou, may I ask Jiang Daxia if he has fought with the people of the Demon Palace and the Black Dragon Gate? They really have three heads and six arms as the legend?"
Jiang Shuyuan turned his head to look at Du Gang, nodded and replied, "I have fought with them several times, although they don't have three heads and six arms, but they really can't underestimate their martial arts. The tone was solemn, frank and solemn.
The four eyes were opposed, the sharp edge touched instantly, and then quickly disappeared, returning to its usual appearance, Du Gang raised his wine glass to Jiang Shuyuan to show friendship, and agreed with his words; In fact, just now the two sides are opposite to each other, and it is also an internal teaching, each of them saw the other party's inner courage and strength from each other's eyes, Du Gang believed that the other party was by no means a superficial person, so he agreed with his words.
Deputy Commander Yan Tiecheng raised his wine glass and saluted to Jian Nanhong, "Your Excellency is the son of Nanxiu among the four princes in the world, Yan has heard of the name early, and today he is fortunate to know the style, it is really a blessing in his life, it is rumored that the four princes appear in the rivers and lakes, and the world's martial arts will turn over the rivers and seas, and the blood will flow like a river, which shows how broad the ability of the prince is?"
Looking at the way he spoke, Jian Nanhong's heart raced: 'The centipede scars on his face give people a feeling of being daunted, fortunately the little brother is not here, otherwise that unruly and strange mouth will definitely say some mean and ridiculous words and cause some misunderstandings. His mind was spinning, and at the same time, he raised his glass and prepared to return the salute.
Liu Yigong looked at Yan Tiecheng, took the words and replied, "The four princes will meet the rivers and lakes, and the martial arts in the world will turn the rivers and seas, and the blood will flow into rivers, this legend is not false at all, the blood wolf son of the four princes returned from the Dongying Kingdom, where Wang Jian went, the masters spilled blood on the barren hills, and he alone destroyed all the martial arts elites in Shandong Province, if it weren't for his life-saving benefactor, the Taiqing Taoist of Taiqing Palace, who was bitter to death, Wang Jian did not kill innocents, otherwise where Wang Jian washed, it would really be a river of blood......" He saw that Yan Tiecheng's words implied some contempt for the four princes, and couldn't help but interject to explain.
What kind of sharp and magical sword is that these rumors have been making a lot of noise in the rivers and lakes, Yan Tiecheng didn't believe it, and he just thought it was an exaggeration of the people in the rivers and lakes, but now that he came out of the mouth of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance, I am afraid he couldn't help but believe it, but his face was originally blue and covered with centipede scars, and he couldn't see his expression.
Jian Nanhong raised his glass and saluted back, "The commander of the Lord Rong Ma has a lifetime, and the iron armor Jin Ge shows the majesty of my Ming Dynasty, and the students have long admired and longed for it. β
Murong Junnan also toasted to Zhu Yunding and said, "Lord Zhu is in charge of the palace Jinyi Guard, the power of the Jinggi Quartet, the famous in the sea, and the admiration of the below, the overlord sawtooth knife that is rumored in the rivers and lakes has the power of thunder and the roar of the hurricane, and it is a great soldier in the martial arts. His tone was modest and kind, but there was a sharp and aggressive look in his eyes, and there was clearly a hint of provocation.
Du Gang saw it clearly beside him, and hurriedly grabbed the words and said, "The 'Giant Lei Feng' heavy sword, the head of the martial arts strange three-peak heavy sword, is in the hands of your Murong Gongzi, it is a rare famous sword that has been stolen for a hundred years, and the person who can control it must be outstanding and extraordinary, and it is already a blessing to be able to get together with Murong Gongzi, if you can understand the giant Lei Feng heavy sword of Gongzi again, it will be the pleasure of this leader's life." β
Murong Junnan turned around and looked directly at Du Gang, clasped his fists and replied, "Thanks to the praise of the Commander, the Commander's Demon Suppression Hands have entered the clouds and swept the mountains and seas, and it can be described as a giant in the Xuanmen Sect. β
Seeing this, Zhu Yunding hurriedly waved his hand to the two of them, "You two are both sympathetic, heroes cherish heroes!" Maybe it's a little bit late to see each other, but don't mention the words of learning skills now, just talk about each other, the Lord of the Liu League is right, we righteous people should cooperate sincerely, work together, and deal with the Black Dragon Gate and the Demon Palace together, Luan Zongtou and his tiger hunting, this envoy will also consider letting them wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions. Before he came to see Liu Yigong, some people underestimated the Jiangnan martial arts people, just now with these people for a while, from their conversation and demeanor has been seen that all of them have unique skills, especially Liu Yigong's words hit the key point in his heart, weighed again and again, dare not hold big, or ensure that the military salary and silver arrive in Kyoto safely, he decided to unite the Jiangnan martial arts people, so he agreed to Liu Yigong's request.
Zhu Yunding promised to release Mr. Luan's head catcher and the tiger catchers, and the atmosphere of the banquet immediately eased and harmonized, everyone was no longer on guard against each other, and the mood was relaxed and happy, and the wine was also drunk comfortably and smoothly.
The cups are frequent, the guests and hosts talk wittily, they have seen what they have seen, and they are no longer restrained, Fang Buddha has been an old friend for many years, just when everyone was happy, Yan Tiecheng suddenly stood up and asked Liu Yigong in a deep voice, "Lord Liu, there is medicine in this wine, what is your intention to murder the imperial court officials?"
This shouting is not trivial! Everyone was surprised when they heard it, just because it was to entertain the imperial court officials, the tableware on the table was silver chopsticks and jade cups, if there was any medicine in the wine and dishes, it would immediately show traces in the silver chopsticks and jade cups, with everyone's experience in the rivers and lakes, they would recognize at a glance, and now the silver chopsticks and jade cups are good and good, I don't know why Yan Tiecheng said this, everyone's eyes suddenly looked at him, but his face was blue, and his face was full of deranged centipede scars, and he couldn't see anything wrong.
"The Deputy Commander made up the words out of thin air, could it be that he wanted to make a mistake out of nothing?" Murong Junnan stared at him and asked coldly, anger growing in his eyes.
Yan Tiecheng was about to open his mouth to explain, but he saw Liu Yigong's eldest disciple Huang Yan fall asleep on the table with a 'bang', maybe he was treating guests as a host, and frequently toasted to the guests, at this time he was already too strong to drink, but he wanted to use his skills as a big disciple of Liu Ye Sword, how could he easily fall on the table in front of the guests? Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other, only to find that everyone's face was more or less white and lead-gray, which was a manifestation of poisoning, of course, Yan Tiecheng went out, his face was not clear whether there was more poison and no poisoning, because his face was originally blue, and with centipede scars on his face, he couldn't tell the difference at all, and everyone understood that Yan Tiecheng had a reason.
The first reaction of the crowd was to quickly concentrate and breathe the inner yuan true qi, and only after inhaling did they feel the collapse of the inner yuan, the qi sea dantian was empty, the true qi fell and leaked, and the meridians and acupoints around the body seemed to have been blocked by the medicine, and they were forcibly transferred, not only did they fail to open up the meridian acupoints, but they felt dizzy and dizzy, and their vision gradually blurred.
Zhu Yunding forcibly failed to achieve luck, and at the same time felt dizzy, his body was weak and weak, he thought that he had been plotted by Liu Yigong's drug in the wine and food, and he couldn't help but be ashamed and angry, and was about to attack Liu Yigong, but he saw that Liu Yigong's face was also as pale as dirt, and his symptoms were the same as his own, needless to say that it was also a Chinese medicine.
Jiang Shuyuan looked at everyone's faces, and also tried to run the true qi, and suddenly shouted loudly, "You don't have to panic, what we have is not a poison, but a special sweat drug, colorless and odorless, so it is not easy to detect, everyone don't force luck, let it be, and it will be lifted naturally after a certain period of time." β
Everyone did as he said, no longer forced luck, slowed down their breathing, and the feeling of dizziness really eased, but everyone still felt groggy and hazy and wanted to fall asleep, Liu Yigong looked at Zhu Yunding and said with emotion: "The old man said that the methods of the Demon Palace are treacherous and treacherous, and they are pervasive, I didn't expect it to come so quickly, it seems that we can't do it if we don't join forces!"
Jiang Shuyuan suddenly shouted loudly again, "Someone!"
The housekeeper rushed into the side hall when he heard the sound, and when he saw this scene, he was immediately dumbfounded, his beard trembled, and he was at a loss.
Liu Yigong stopped his panic with his eyes, and commanded in a low voice, "I and the others have been drugged for some reason, and their skills have been temporarily lost, so don't make a noise, and secretly strengthen your vigilance." β
Jiang Shuyuan added beside him, "In the next place, this matter is mostly due to the wine, so please ask the housekeeper to go to the wine cellar to get a jar of unopened wine in person." β
Jian Nanhong hurriedly added, "I also secretly asked someone to quickly inform the students' Mongolian friends, so that they can come here immediately to prevent the Black Dragon Gate and the Demon Palace from taking the opportunity to sneak attack." "Jian Nanhong's skills are profound, and he drinks little wine, only his dantian can condense a deep qi of inner yuan, but he understands that if a strong enemy attacks, this skill will not last long, in order to prevent accidents, it is better to call Meng Di and others to protect everyone.
The butler took the order and left in a hurry, and everyone's eyes were closed from time to time, and each of them was forced to fight and not let him sleep.
Although Jian Nanhong was able to maintain a part of the inner Yuan True Qi with his profound skills, he still felt weak in his muscles and bones, weak in his limbs, and vaguely felt that he had experienced it there, and he couldn't remember it for a while.
The housekeeper came in with a jar of wine that had not been opened, and handed it to Jiang Shuyuan, and said to Jian Nanhong, "The old man has already asked someone to invite Gongzi's Mongolian friends and Gongzi Qu, and it will be there in a while." β
Jiang Shuyuan took the wine jar, inspected it, and said with a smile, "I want to sleep even if I am groggy underneath, it's strange and uncomfortable, so it's better to drink it and get drunk, and let him sleep." After speaking, he raised his palm to shatter the limestone paraffin on the mouth of the wine altar, wiped the mouth of the altar with his sleeve, picked it up and fed it into his open lips and poured it down, the wine slurry poured like a spring, flowing down the corners of his mouth and cheeks, drenching a large piece of clothing on his chest, Jiang Shuyuan paused slightly, laughed, rejuvenated, and continued to drink.
At this time, Du Gang, Yan Tiecheng, and Murong Junnan couldn't resist the onset of the medicine, and fell asleep on the table one after another, while Jiang Shuyuan drank half a jar of wine, his spirit increased, and his face gradually became ruddy, and he actually returned to normal.
Seeing that he wanted to use wine to eliminate his discomfort, but he didn't expect to recover, Jian Nanhong suddenly remembered his own experience, which was in Luoyang City's Huifeng Valley where Qu Ling'er's mother, the Golden Snake Lady, misunderstood him and captured him, and once gave him the unique secret medicine of the Paradise Gate. Broken Soul Ying Holy Water', that feeling is that the meridians and acupoints are blocked now, and the whole body is weak, and when taking the antidote afterwards, I also drank the liquor, I remember that the golden snake lady said at the time that when swallowing the antidote, you must accompany the drink of the liquor, in order to quickly remove the power of the medicine, although Brother Jiang did not swallow the antidote, but he drank the liquor violently, and it also had the effect of relieving the power, but how could the secret medicine of the Paradise Gate be related to the Demon Palace? Thinking about it again, although Qu Ling'er's father is now in the Demon Palace, he used to have a deep relationship with the Gate of Bliss......
Qu Ling'er, Meng Di and others broke into the side hall, and when they saw this scene, Qu Ling'er couldn't help but scream, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Jiang Shuyuan and blamed, "A few have already fallen, why don't you know that you are still drinking?"
Meng Di also stepped forward to pick up Jian Nanhong and asked, "Sword Gongzi, how is it? Do you know what kind of poison it is? The people who are in the lower part are already distributed outside the side hall, and Jian Gongzi can rest assured." After speaking, he reached out and grabbed Jian Nanhong's wrist to probe his pulse, he was proficient in medical skills, and he also combined the Qihuang technique of Buddhism Tantra and West Asian countries, probed for a while, couldn't help frowning and shook his head, "The pulse is normal, but it is slightly lower than that of ordinary people, and I can't even detect the signs of poisoning......
Jian Nanhong smiled and replied, "This shouldn't be some poison, it's a unique sweat drug, it just stops people's dantian inner yuan and meridian acupoints, it should be the 'Broken Soul Ying Holy Water' of Miaojiang Jile Gate." He suddenly asked Qu Ling'er, "Little brother, did your mother leave you this antidote?"
"Of course there isβ" Qu Ling'er replied, then reached out and took out a few small jade bottles of mutton fat from her arms, looked at them, took out one of the small jade bottles, nodded and said, "By the way, this is the antidote." Then he said complacently, "I am also the princess of the Gate of Bliss no matter what, and these spells of the Gate of Bliss will naturally be passed on to me." She turned to the butler and said, "Please go and fetch a large bowl and a few small bowls, and a pot of clean water." β
The housekeeper immediately complied, and in a moment he sent a large bowl and a few small bowls, a pot of pure water, Qu Ling'er put the purified water in the pot in the big bowl, and then opened the lid of the jade bottle, shook off a little white powder into the bowl, stretched out his hand and stirred it in the bowl with his fingers, and Ji'er instructed the housekeeper to say, "Bliss Gate uses poison and medicine, which is unparalleled in the world, not only the poison and medicine are strong and long, but also the poison and medicine are concentrated and exquisite, and immediately give a small bowl of antidote to the person who has been drugged, and five small bowls of clear wine." β
The housekeeper gave each person who had been drugged one by one to take the antidote and clear wine, but fortunately, there was the remaining half of the jar of wine from Jiang Shu's wish, half an hour passed, and several people who were asleep also woke up, and everyone tried to transfer the inner Yuan True Qi, and sure enough, the Dantian was full of Gang Yuan, the True Qi was agitated, the meridians and acupoints around the body were unimpeded, and the strength of the bones had been restored to the general like ordinary people.
Zhu Yunding stood up and clasped his fists and saluted Qu Ling'er, "Thank you Shaoxia for your help, I have heard rumors that Miao Jiang Jile Sect is good at poisoning, formless and shadowless, colorless and tasteless, making people unguardable, I didn't expect that Shaoxia actually had a relationship with them, and I dissolved this sweat drug in the first time, and I sincerely thanked Shaoxia." β
Qu Ling'er looked at his clothes and his demeanor, knowing that he was a person with a lot of background, and he also hugged his fists and saluted back, "It's just a trivial matter, not enough to worry about." β
Zhu Yunding turned around and said to Liu Yi fairly, "I'm ashamed, I still had a misunderstanding of the alliance leader in my heart just now, thinking that it was the Hongmen banquet deliberately set up by the alliance leader, and I wanted to harm this seat, but now it seems that it was purely a misunderstanding, and the alliance leader was wrong, and the envoy thanked him in person." After speaking, he hugged his fists and saluted Liu Yigong, and kept nodding his head and bowing deeply.
Liu Yigong clenched his fists in return, and said with a long smile, "As long as the commander makes the adults understand the truth of the matter, let the commander make the adults have a false alarm, and the old decay is deeply ashamed, and it is the old decay who should be blamed." β
After tossing like this, it was already after the middle of the night of the third watch, Liu Yigong looked at the table full of people, turned his head to Zhu Yunding and said, "The old man wanted to prepare another table of wine and food to continue drinking, but he really had palpitations, so let's do it! The night is already deep, how about the commander and your subordinates deign to move to the cold house to sleep?"
Zhu Yunding's eyes were shining, his eyes rolled, and he pondered for a moment; Thank you for the hospitality of the alliance leader, but I don't understand, although this sweat drug of the Paradise Gate is powerful, but it can only stop people's inner essence true qi and meridians and acupoints around the body, so that people temporarily lose their martial arts, even if there is no antidote, it will be eliminated by itself after a few hours, and the power will return to normal, that is to say, this kind of sweat drug can only temporarily stop people's martial arts, and there is no harm to people and residual troubles, why did the Black Dragon Gate and the Demon Palace apply this kind of sweat drug to me and others, and what is his purpose?"
Zhu Yunding's question was very clear and sharp, why did the Demon Palace apply such a sweat drug to the Liufu banquet? They wanted to use the drug to stop everyone's martial arts and then take advantage of the situation to attack the Liufu? But most of the night had passed, and there was still no shadow of the Demon Palace, and the Demon Palace did not know that there were people in the Liufu who would have this kind of antidote? Everyone pondered and meditated, but they could not get any results.
At this time, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the side hall, everyone was nervous, Fang Buddha had a premonition that something was happening, and they all looked out of the hall door, and when Meng Di and the housekeeper saw this, they also went out to the hall door.
A servant led a brocade-clothed guard to the side hall in a hurry, and when he saw the butler, he hurriedly explained the situation to the butler and said, "This military master said that there were 100,000 urgent things to see the commander, and the villain saw that he was covered in colorful injuries, so he brought him here. β
