Tieqiang Rose saw that there were lights in each room, and knew that Xue Laohu had really been on guard against her, so she was surprised, and said in her heart, what can I do about this? I jumped out of the room and broke into the house to kill Xue Laohu, and then it would be easy for me to escape and escape, but if I couldn't save Hu San's daughter-in-law, it would be considered a vain trip! She was anxious and anxious, and she walked from the north room to the east room, and saw that the north room was three rooms, which were very large, and the lights and candles in the house were also very brilliant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the figures on the window, as if there were many people there, always rising to talk and laugh, and in that voice mixed with a soft and feminine tone.

Tie Rose couldn't help but have a burst of suspicion in her heart, and secretly thought: Could it be that the daughter-in-law of the Hu family is really from Xue Laohu? In this case, why should I bother to save her? Besides, she may not be willing to go with me? At this time, a person came out of this east room.

Tie Rose rushed to lie on the roof tiles, but the man walked to the courtyard and said to the north room: "Haven't you rested yet? Come to the east house, Lao Zhang wants to push forty taels of silver pai gow, you can press it! You should also tell the seventh master and the two seven sisters-in-law to rest for a while!"

With the light coming out of the north room, it can be vaguely seen that this person is wearing official clothes, but he is an official. Xiuxia hurriedly climbed to the back room again, poked his head out to look at the north room: he saw that a few people in the north room first agreed, and then the door opened. Four or five people came out, some in official clothes, some in civilian clothes, and inside there was a big fat man in a shiny satin dress to see them out.

The man turned around and said, "Let's go to the East House to push Pai Gow, and we'll have to stay up all night anyway." The Seventh Master said that he should rest assured! We dare to guarantee that the little lady who made the sword must not come. ”

The one who was called the "Seventh Master" was Xue Laohu, who laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm relieved." In fact, if the little lady who made the sword comes, I like it very much. The people in my house are too old, and the ones who are not easy are too uncomfortable! I would like to get a little lady who knows martial arts, first, to ask her to sleep with me, and second, to ask her to give me a nursing home. There was probably a person next to him who was nursing here, and everyone patted him on the shoulder and smiled at him.

That Xue Laohu laughed louder than anyone else, and the iron rose on the room was so angry at this time that she really wanted to jump down immediately and kill him with a swing of her sword. At this time, the group of officials under the house and the guards of the courtyard all entered the east room, and after a while, they listened to the sound of dominoes and wild laughter. But a servant woman came out of the north room, and gently closed the door, and turned and went into a small door on the west side.

Iron Rose stood up from the top of the room and gently stepped from the east room to the north room to the west.

Originally, there was a cross-courtyard here, which was very small, with only four rooms in the north and south. The black hole in the south room seemed to be uninhabited, but there was a light floating in the window of the north room, and the woman entered the north room.

The Iron Rose also jumped from the house, landing on both feet without a sound. She walked softly to the door of the house, and listened to the servant woman who had just entered the house, talking to her companion, and saying, "Those old men who are on errands have no rules, and they say anything in front of the two aunts and wives, and the seventh master doesn't care!"

Iron Rose stood at the door of the house, shook her sword, and said sharply, "Don't be silent!" and one of the servants was so frightened that "Goo-dong" fell down, and both of them hid in the corner of the wall tremblingly.

The servant woman who was kneeling on the ground kowtowed to Tie Rose and begged, "Miss, spare me! I am hired! Xue Laohu's bad deeds have nothing to do with me...... Tie Rose waved her hand and said, "I won't kill you, you whisper and tell me, where is the daughter-in-law of the Hu family, the daughter of the Meng family?"

A servant woman hiding in the corner pointed to the window, trembling, and said, "It's locked in this south room." When she didn't marry the Hu family, she was very obedient to the Seventh Master, but this time, she was disobedient and angered the Seventh Master!"

The servant woman who was on the ground said, "No more!" Xue Laohu had taken a lot of possession, but they all relied on him and became his aunt's wife!" Iron Rose threatened again, "You are not allowed to move!"

She then took up a sword in one hand and an oil lamp on the table in the other, went out of the house, and when she came to the south room, she cut off the lock with her sword, kicked the door open, and went into the house to shine with the lamp. And they saw that the house was hollow, and there was not even any furniture.

There was a woman lying on the ground, her hands and feet tied, her hair so shaggy that she could not see her face clearly, and it was especially pitiful that the young woman, whose clothes were ruined and her back was exposed, and Iron Rose put her lamp and sword on the ground, and she came forward to lift her up.

The woman was lifted up by the Iron Rose, and she could only gasp for breath, but she could not moan, and the Iron Rose knew that she had something in her mouth, so she pulled out a long sweat towel from her mouth, and the woman began to cry.

Iron Rose commanded, "Be quiet!" and then cut all the ropes on the woman's hands and feet with her sword. At this time, there was a lot of noise outside, shouting: "There are thieves!

Frightened, Iron Rose first blew out the lamp in the ground, and then carried the woman on her back, and said, "Hold me by the shoulder, and be not afraid!" and jumped out of the house with her sword.

By this time the officials and the guards had already broken into the small courtyard with their swords, but Iron Rose had already gone to the house with the woman on her back, and hurriedly walked away on the tiles. Like a tanuki, she jumped down the back wall to the north in an instant.

While there was a great deal of confusion in the village, shouting and the lights were shining, and a crowd of people were there foolishly hunting, but Iron Rose had already gone into the willow forest, and cut the reins of the horse with her sword, and she took the woman in her arms and got on the horse, and the sound of the hooves of "Dede" sounded, and the horse flew out of the woods, crossed the brook, and went north like an arrow.

About two miles away, Iron Rose saw that there was no shouting behind her, and there was no fire, so she restrained the horse. Just asked, "Are you the girl of the Meng family, Hu San's daughter-in-law?"

The woman agreed, and Iron Rose said, "Okay, I'll put on a dress for you, and then I'll send you to see your uncle!"

But the woman cried and said, "I'm sorry for my in-laws! My man also beat Xue Laohu to death! I don't have the face to see my in-laws' ...... again."

Iron Rose said, "Don't cry, your man is not dead! I don't blame you for the past, don't be sad, I handed you over to your uncle, and I have to come back quickly to kill that Xue Laohu!"

Saying that, by the light of the stars in the sky, Iron Rose found the road to the north mountain in detail, and she carried the woman and urged the horse to go. I saw that the dark sky was heavy, the silver star was scorching, the evening wind was blowing, and she was on a double horse, and she was like flying, and in a short time she entered the mountain pass of the north mountain.

At this time, the flowers and plants in the mountains were covered in the night, and not even a single bird call could be heard, but on the opposite side, there was a light like a fire in the distance. The horse walked towards the lamp, and when it came to the approach, there was a mule cart here, Hu Er on the car, and Li Si under the car, asked in unison: "Iron girl, have you saved people?"

Tieqiang Rose said, "Help, you carry the man down, get in the car and go quickly!" The woman cried, and was helped off the horse by Hu Er and Li Si, and carried her into the car.

Hu Er came over again and said to Iron Rose gratefully, "Iron Maiden, how can we repay your kindness in the future?"

But Iron Rose said hurriedly, "Hurry up, hurry up!" You can't say any of these words, so you think of hiding this daughter-in-law tightly, and don't let her show her head, because I can only save you people, but I can't protect you forever. ”

The woman's cry was still uninterrupted, the sound of the chariot and the lantern went north along the mountain road.

Here the Iron Rose also turned the horse's head and walked out of the mountain briskly, wanting to go to Xuejiazhuang and kill the Xue tiger. She urged the horse to go east again, and when she had gone a short distance, she saw a hoof sound coming from her, and a horse had also come.

Taken aback, Iron Rose quickly restrained her horse, touched her sword in one hand, and asked, "What are you doing?"

The horse in front of him also came closer, and the man on the horse also shouted, "Iron Maiden, you have rescued people, where are you going?"

Iron Rose could hear that it was the young man's voice, and couldn't help but smile secretly and said, "Brother Xiahou, you only came to help me at this time? ”

said: "Don't care, I still have to go back to kill Xue Laohu, if you want to keep him, it is still a local scourge." ”

The young man smiled and said, "I don't need you to go, after you left just now, I have ended Xue Laohu's life." However, if he was killed, the local officials must arrest the murderer, and they will be involved in the daughter-in-law's family. I will go to the county government now, take advantage of the darkness to scare the local county official, and tell him that the murderer is me, Xiahou Wuji, and has nothing to do with anyone else. If he is serious about his case, he can send someone to arrest me, and if he frames a good citizen, I will take his head. ”

When he said this, he was in a hurry, and the young man urged the horse to come. When he rubbed with Iron Rose, he also patted Iron Rose on the shoulder and said gently, "Iron Girl, I really admire your martial arts. Please wait for me at the shop again, I'll go when I'm young, and we'll talk about it in detail. As he spoke, the young man's horse galloped past.

Here Ironrose stood still, the cold evening breeze blowing against her, but her face couldn't help but feel a fever. Although she said a few words, she did not see the young man's face again.

In an instant, the young man walked over, and she looked back, but the night engulfed the young man's figure, and only the sound of hooves of "Dede" was gradually fading away. Tie Rose felt funny in her heart, and secretly thought: During the day, he still pretended to be called Xiahou Wuji to me, but now in a hurry, he didn't confess to himself, this is his fake name, probably he didn't want to tell me. But he still doesn't know where I came from! I'll tell him more when I wait for him to come back from the store! Or maybe this person can help me find Yu Wenhua and get revenge.

She turned her horse and followed the road again, and went again to the other side of the mountain, but now her horse was moving very slowly. While walking, I thought: After I saved the woman and left, Xuejiazhuang was already in chaos, probably because the servant woman had done something bad, if it wasn't for my strong martial arts today, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to escape.

But between the Zhuang Ding and the officials in the courtyard, each holding a blade, and searching for chapters in a chaotic manner, that Xiahou Wuji was able to rush to kill Xue Laohu, and then he calmly escaped on horseback, this person's martial arts are really not weak.

It's a pity that I don't know where the county seat is, otherwise I would have rushed there to compete with him! In my heart, I was envious and surprised, and I didn't feel that the horse had walked through the dark mountain road.

But I saw the town and the market in front of me, where I drank with the boy during the day, and rested with him in the shop room for a while. At this time she was very hesitant in her heart, and thought to himself: If I go to the shop and wait for him, he will definitely go when he is young, and he may have to say something to me, and the man was very shy when he first saw me, but then he was very unruly.

We are a young man and a woman, who live in the same shop late at night, and what happens if they are known? Even if no one knows, I ...... She tossed and turned, and felt that it was wrong to do so, but she was also a little reluctant.

Seeing that we have arrived in the town, the streets of the town are clear and clear, but there are still bright lights hanging at the front of the store.

The Iron Rose rode around for a moment, and then suddenly she made up her mind, and spurred her horse through the town, and outside the town was a reckless wilderness under the night.

Iron Rose hurried her horse away, and walked through many villages that were as silent as death, and she felt tired at once, but the faint light of dawn had been found in the east.

When the Iron Rose saw that the sky was almost dawn, she was very happy, and thought to herself: I will hurry up and find a place to rest first. If you just rest for a day, then Xiahou Wuji must have walked over, so we won't be able to meet. That's good!

She lifted up her tired spirit, whipped the horse, which was too out of breath to walk, and walked another five or six miles, and the sky was dawning. When she walked into the street when she was young, she saw a shop with a fence hanging at the head of the door, and on the earthen wall was written "Peng's old shop".

At this time, the rooster in the store was crowing, the door of the store opened, and some customers with backpacks, goods, and cars left for the ride.

But Tie Rose led the horse in with sleepy eyes, so the shopkeeper was very surprised, and took the horse and asked, "Sister-in-law, have you walked all night?"

Iron Rose said, "You don't have to ask! find me a private room, I want to rest." The shopkeeper saw that the girl was very horizontal, and that she was carrying a sword, and that she was dressed in green, and that she had a silk belt around her waist, and that she did not dress like an ordinary woman. Although they didn't dare to ask more, they still had doubts on their faces, so they found a single room.

Iron Rose carried the package and the sword, entered the house, and sat down on the kang. The shopkeeper asked her if she would go to bed or eat first?

Iron Rose said, "Bring me a pot of tea." The shopkeeper agreed, stayed for a while, and then made a pot of hot and strong tea for Iron Rose.

Iron Rose took a few sips and felt that she had some energy again, so she asked the store to cook for her. She sat stunned, very uneasy, as if she had something uneasy. Just thought: After Xiahou Wuji killed Xue Laohu last night, he went to the county government again. The county government must have been in the city, so how could he enter the city on horseback? Wouldn't he be caught by the people of the yamen? It was as if he was a mess of questions, and he couldn't let go of it when he was stuck in his heart.

When he was young, the store brought rice, and Tie Rose was still dazed during the meal. After eating, he closed the door of the house, lay down on the kang and slept, and thought about it for a long time before he fell asleep.

When she woke up that it was past noon, her fatigue was gone, and she felt very refreshed, so she opened the door and called the store in. The shopkeeper came in with her eyes open and her eyes open, showing a look of panic, and Iron Rose could see that the shopkeeper thought that her appearance was suspicious, so she casually pretended to be calm, and asked, "Shopkeeper, where are you here?"

The shopkeeper replied, "Girl......" Looking at the braided hair hanging down on the back of Tie Rose's head, he quickly changed his words and said, "Girl, we are here in the new town of Tangyin County, where are you going alone, girl?"

Iron Rose said, "I'm going to Beijing." ”

When the shopkeeper heard that it was such a long road, he became more and more suspicious, and said, "Such a long road, girl, are you walking alone?

When Tieqiang Rose heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "Why aren't you calm?" I heard that there have been no thieves on the highways of Henan in recent years, and now I have come from Jiangnan, and I have seen many merchants along the way, and there is nothing wrong. ”

The shopkeeper shook his head again and again, and said, "It may be okay elsewhere, but our area has been really difficult to walk around lately." Last month, there were three homicides in Qi County, and five or six villages were robbed. The day before yesterday was not far from here, and the guests in the Xinxiang area were robbed again, and a few people were injured. ”

Ironrose was surprised and asked, "According to what you say, there must be a large number of robbers in the vicinity?" The shopkeeper said, "No, I heard that there are more than fifty people in Xiangmazu, and they are very fierce, and they have been brought from Yuzhou Ichi." At the head was the famous female thief in Henan Province earlier—no, no! was a chivalrous and righteous female king, the lady of the red scorpion Yu Jiutian. ”

When the shopkeeper said this, his eyes rolled to Iron Rose, and his face showed a kind of surprise and fear, as if he said the word "female thief" and was afraid that Iron Rose would immediately draw the sword beside him and kill him.

Iron Rose said, "Don't worry! I'm not a red scorpion. I've heard that the red scorpion is now in his thirties. ”

The shopkeeper was frightened, and hurriedly smiled and said, "That can, that can, how dare I wonder about the girl? I think the girl is probably a female bodyguard." ”

Iron Rose smiled. The shopkeeper said, "But, girl, you have to be careful when you walk, it is said that the red scorpion has two female apprentices, both of whom look like fairies, are they old......?"

Iron Rose felt that this matter was very novel, and said in her heart: After I left, why did Red Scorpion take in two more female disciples, and at this time, the shopkeeper's eyes were still rolling to Iron Rose's body, and he said: "Recently, our area has been clean of female thieves. Just now, a guest came from the south, saying that Xue Laohu, a famous rich man there, was also ...... by a woman last night Kill the woman?"

When Iron Rose heard this, she couldn't help but change her face, and she was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again.

The meaning of the store is to say: The counties around here are now rampant with female thieves. The red scorpion and her two young apprentices, both use swords, often haunt nearby villages and towns, and yesterday Xue Laohu's case was officially believed to be done by them?

At present, famous detectives from several counties visit everywhere every day, paying special attention to women with suspicious appearances.

Iron Rose's dress, age, sword, and horse are really suspicious, especially since Iron Rose only came to the store early this morning, and she admitted that she had walked all night yesterday.

The shopkeeper shows that he has no suspicion that Iron Rose is one of the thieves. However, it is better to persuade Iron Rose to leave here as soon as possible. If you have acquaintances nearby, it is best to go all the way and hide the sword so as not to be caught by the wrong officials.

Because the nearby counties are now catching red eyed tigers, they dare not catch the red scorpions, but they originally intended to catch one or two Tujuan secret prostitutes, or women with no names and surnames to temporarily prevaricate their errands.

Iron Rose couldn't help but sneer at this time, and said, "My luck is really bad! How can I be here to make trouble with a female thief as soon as I walk here? It's really hard for a woman to walk? Then I'll leave quickly! Don't teach me to fight a lawsuit here again!" With that, she hurriedly called the shopkeeper to prepare a horse for her, and the shopkeeper seemed to wish that she would leave quickly, so she quickly agreed and went out of the house.

Here Iron Rose was also nervous, and hurriedly packed her luggage, and went out of the house with her sword and package, and the shopkeeper brought her the horse.

Iron Rose put the things in her hand on her horse, and then she led the horse out of the store, suddenly remembering that she hadn't paid for the store yet.

At this time, the shopkeeper also came after him, and Iron Rose couldn't help but smile and asked, "How much?"

The shopkeeper said, "It doesn't matter, let's keep an account for the girl first, and then give it when the girl comes back from Beijing and rests with us!"

But Tie Rose said, "You are making trouble with female thieves here, and you officials here are about to take women indiscriminately, and I will dare to come to you in the future?"

Before she had yet to leave the town, she suddenly saw a small teahouse on the east side of the road, and two men ran out, both dressed in civilian clothes, and stopped her horse with their arms outstretched.

Iron Rose was taken aback, knowing that it was a plainclothes trapper in the yamen, but she was calm, but she became angry, glared at Xiumu and said, "What are you doing? dare to stop my horse!"

One of the two plainclothes hunters grabbed the brier of the Iron Rose horse, and the other pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Nothing, we just look at you a little familiar, where are you from?"

Iron Rose was angry and said, "What do you care about me? Anyway, I am not a red scorpion, and I am not a female thief;

Saying that, she handed the horsewhip to the reins of the hand, tilted her body, and pulled out the white dragon and phoenix sword with a "bang". As soon as the two trappers saw the dazzling sword light, they hurriedly went to the side to hide, but Xiuxia took advantage of the situation to urge the horse, and the sound of hooves "got it" like a bead, and he galloped north.

When I left the new town, I went north for five or six miles, and when I looked back, I saw four or five horses swinging and watching the smoke and dust coming.

Iron Rose quickly put away her sword and whipped tightly through several villages, away from the avenue, and walked along the field path. After zigzag and walked down for more than 20 miles, she turned around and saw that there was no chasing horse behind her, so she stopped her horse and gasped.

She couldn't help laughing to herself, and said to herself: Why am I? I'm not one of the Red Scorpions, and although I saved Xuejiazhuang's daughter-in-law, I didn't kill the bullies, so why should I run away like a thief? But I thought: If the Red Scorpion was nearby, I would like to see her, and the two of us would have talked about the old days, and I would have missed her! Her female apprentice didn't know how, how did she look? She was older or younger than me, and her martial arts were higher or lower than me? I really had to see them.

As soon as I came, I wanted to compete with them to show the martial arts I had learned in four years, and at the same time I wanted to persuade them with advice that it was okay to be chivalrous in the rivers and lakes, but it was not only not tolerated by the king's law, but also shamed women who generally knew martial arts.

While she thought, she rode forward, the spring breeze blowing her sideburns, and her heart was very excited. I feel that the scenery of this land and the evolution of personnel are all very novel, and all of them make me happy.

I was walking, crossed a stone bridge, under the stone bridge is the clear and lovely flowing water, the two banks of the flowing water are sparse locust willow trees, and the loud bird sound on the branches of the trees on the other bank can be heard at the head of the bridge.

As soon as she got off the bridge, she heard someone shouting, "Iron Maiden!" Iron Rose was taken aback, and took her horse, and looked around, and saw a horse drinking by the stream in the distance to the west, and there was no one in front of her, on the right or left. She couldn't help but be stunned again.

Iron Rose was stunned for a moment, but she understood. Because she could see that the horse drinking by the river was the horse ridden by the young Zhang Yunjie, and no one except him would call herself "Iron Rose Girl", so she pretended not to hear it and walked forward calmly. At this time, he heard a "whoosh" sound, and a person jumped down from a very tall tree beside him.

The man laughed so hard that he couldn't even straighten his waist. When Tie Rose saw it, it was Xiahou Wuji, who was wearing a short coat with many willow leaves on his clothes. Probably because he had seen Iron Rose coming, he deliberately climbed the tree to scare Iron Rose.

Iron Rose couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion in her heart, fluttering for a while, just like the thousands of willows stirred by the spring breeze.

But she quickly restrained her mood, and without even smiling, she still rode away solemnly. The boy behind shouted again, "Iron Maiden, Iron Maiden!" Iron Rose did not look back, as if she had not heard, but walked forward. But the young Iron Rose in the back hurriedly picked up his package and sword from the ground, ran over and led the horse to ride, and chased after Iron Rose.

As soon as he chased after him, Iron Brier rode faster and ignored him. Xiahou Wuji laughed behind again, called her, and said in a loud voice, "Iron Maiden, I already know where you come from. You are a senior disciple of the Red Scorpion, and you probably have a senior sister. Now there are people in several counties who are telling your name, no wonder, you are an old man. Iron Maiden, stationed on the horse, listen to me. Don't worry, I'm not an official. ”

As soon as the Iron Rose in front heard this, she couldn't help but get angry, but with a "bang", the White Dragon Wind Sword was revealed, and she turned back. Staring at the two beautiful eyes, he reprimanded: "Nonsense! You say that I am a gang of red scorpions, and you are the culprit of Xuejiazhuang's murder, don't defile me with robbers." ”

Xiahou Wuji saw Tie Rose showing his sword, not only was he not afraid, but he laughed even more. He was already not dignified yesterday, but today he is even more bold to flirt with the Iron Rose, he said: "Good woman, I missed a good relationship yesterday, today we should find a place to get close for a while." Although the rivers and lakes meet on a narrow road, it must be the line that the old man under the moon has drawn for us. Good woman, little lady!"

When Tie Rose saw that this young man was so light, she couldn't help but turn love into hate, and scolded sharply: "Shut up!" When the young man's horse came closer, she suddenly turned around and stabbed Xiahou Wuji in the chest with her sword.

That Xiahou Wuji flashed, took advantage of the situation, jumped down from the horse and said: "Okay! I only know that you killed water thieves in the Yellow River, but Xue Jiazhuang saved his daughter-in-law but has not yet learned your martial arts." Okay, get off the horse!

Let's have a fight, if I lose in your hands, I will recognize you as a female master today. If you lose in my hands, you will have to find a place with me to be a dewy couple!"

At this point in his words, Xiuxia had already jumped off the horse, grabbed the sword and slashed at Xiahou Wuji.

Xiahou Wuji hurriedly dodged away, took a diagonal step, and the reverse sword was about to pierce Iron Rose's armpit.

Iron Rose retreated backwards, strode to the ground, and turned Xiahou Wuji's leg; Xiahou Wuji jumped up, laughed, and slashed at Iron Rose with his sword. Iron Rose still retreated, gathering strength to take advantage of the weakness.

But Xiahou Wuji refused to let go of a single step, and the sword momentum did not let go of a single step, and even forced a few steps, and then pulled the flower through the sword to stab the chest of the Iron Rose.

Iron Rose was really angry, and suddenly used the tip of the sword to pull Xiahou Wuji's sword away, Xiahou Wuji dodged again, the sword spread like a crane's wings, and said, "Be careful!"

Huo Ran slashed down with a sword, Tie Rose hurriedly crossed the sword to meet it, the two swords knocked together, only to hear the loud sound of "choking", Xiahou Wuji's sword was cut into two pieces; he was so startled that he hurriedly ran to the side with half of the sword, his face was as pale as paper, and he asked pantingly: "Iron Maiden, who are you? Where did you get this sword from?"

Iron Rose glared at Xiahou Wuji angrily, and didn't go over to chase him again, so she took the horse and got on the horse, and the white dragon Yin Feng sword was put into the sheath, and she said sharply: "Who am I, how old are you? Do you think you have to be a female robber to do martial arts? You are blind......

I wanted to say my real name, but I didn't know who this Xiahou Wuji was, so he sneered again and walked calmly with a whip. Here Xiahou Wuji saw the horse of the Iron Rose with a famous sword and walked towards with a beautiful shadow, he was stunned for a long time, not only did he not dare to chase after him, but he also had no strength in his body.

He frowned, "Barda' threw half of the sword in his hand to the ground as well. After leading the horse, he was stunned for a long time, and then he got on the horse and walked listlessly.

At this time, the shadow of the Iron Rose in front of him had gone far away, and had turned to the east. Here Xiahou Wuji frowned, bit his mouth, and just walked by his mount; he couldn't even tell the direction. After walking for a while, he sighed again in frustration.

Xiahou Wuji had just returned from the place where the famous boxer of Xiangyang, the golden sword hero Zhuge Long, had just returned, and his enlightenment teacher was originally Liu Cheng, the big sword of Xinyang Prefecture. Originally, he was also a son of the Han family, and his father was just an unknown dart master, and he did not live in Beijing earlier. Because his father inadvertently made a fortune three years ago, the family became rich, so the family moved to Beijing. Less than a month after moving to the capital, he went to Xiangyang to study art. In the past few years, he didn't know anything about his family and the rivers and lakes.

It's just that when he said goodbye to his father three years ago, his black-faced, eternally suspicious father, who dared not open the door during the day and would lock the door at night, told him: "Be careful when you go to Henan!"

Yun Zhanfeng of the Iron and Blood Banner Gate is my enemy! I will not live when I see him. He has a white dragon sword in his house, which is the most precious treasure in the world, and it is categorical, you have to be careful!

Walking in Henan, don't say the surname Yuwen. It turned out that this young man was Chiyanyu Wenhua's eldest son, Yuwen Chengdu, so Yuwen Chengdu hated the big banner Yunzhan Peak, and deeply remembered the sword of "White Dragon Yinfeng".

When he met Iron Rose on the road, he thought at first that Iron Rose was the daughter of a dart master. Later, because he heard the legend of the red scorpion that there were two female apprentices, he suspected that Iron Rose was the doorman of the female thief.

However, regardless of whether Iron Rose is a chivalrous or a thief, Iron Rose's handsome appearance, coquettish conversation, novel manners, and righteous behavior have moved away from his soul and tied to his heart.

I thought that such a woman was rare, and she was not married yet, so she just matched her. Unexpectedly, now that he tried out Xiuxia's sword, and heard Tie Rose scolding himself for being the elder, he couldn't help but feel disheartened, and secretly sighed: "Isn't her sword the White Dragon Yin Wind Sword? Is she Yun Zhanfeng's daughter? If it is, I won't think about it in this life! Because my two families are enemies!"

He rode his horse listlessly to the north, as if he had lost something precious in his heart, and as if he had returned home this time, he had lost all his pride and courage in leaving the rivers and lakes. He sighed and walked very slowly, and did not reach Anyang County until evening. When he had entered the city, he went to the inn, which was full of people.

When the shopkeeper saw that he was dressed widely, he said, "Uncle, I still have a vacant shop in this cabinet, so you can rest here!"

Yuwen Chengdu didn't bother to look for another store, he handed over the horse to the buddy and was let into the cabinet room by the shopkeeper. He saw that the room was still very stylishly furnished, and there was a couplet at the door, which read: "Ten thousand taels of gold are easy to get, and a confidant is the most difficult to find." It was like a sword poking him in the heart. The couplet seemed to be sarcastic to him, as if to say to him: You have mistaken a good marriage! You must know that there are not only few women in the world who are so martial arts and beautiful in appearance, but there are simply none!

Yuwen Chengdu was saddened. The shopkeeper liked it very much, and hurriedly moved the stool and said, "Uncle, please take a seat, where is the uncle from?" I guess! I heard that the uncle's accent is Xinyangzhou, where are you going?"

A mustache next to him, wearing a shoulder and smoking a dry tobacco pouch, looked like a grocery store shopkeeper who came here to sit idle, so he said, "I see that this uncle is probably going to Beijing to take the exam?"

The shopkeeper also said, "That's right! This year's opening is Enko." Yuwen Chengdu felt very impatient, and did not even answer, so he asked, "Is that the bed?" The shopkeeper said, "This one!" He swept a bed against the wall with a broom, and said, "You will never find a store room when you come at this time! You are a Sven, so I left you to live here." It's quiet here, and I'll go home after the second watch, and the guys have another house. It's this shopkeeper Gao, he's my cousin, and he's only coming from Daokou Town today. He is a grain dealer and can tell stories, so you can listen to him relieve your boredom at night!

Yuwen Chengdu blurted out: "The surname is Xiahou." When I said this, I regretted it in my heart, and secretly thought, why do I prefer to be surnamed Xiahou? I am my father's child, and I am not his son, so why should I call him father? Why did I recognize a person who has an enmity with the Yun family as my father in the first place? He was very sad in his heart, and said to the shopkeeper: "Bring me food first, and more wine." ”

The shopkeeper agreed, poured him a bowl of tea, and then went out of the house to tell the men to prepare a meal for the hot wine.

Yuwen Cheng still frowned, and left the bench to lie on the bed. Lying on the bed, he closed his eyes and meditated, and felt that the green shadow of the Iron Rose and the cold light of the sword could not help but float in front of his eyes.

He let out another long sigh. When he was young, he heard the man say in his ear, "The meal is ready." ”

Yuwen Chengdu opened his eyes and looked at the table, and saw a plate of vegetables, a plate of salted meat, a few steamed buns, and a wine jug and wine cup.

So he lazily went over, sat down on the stool again, took the jug, filled it with a cup, and drank it in one gulp. Then he drank it again with the spout on the pot.

I thought: White Dragon Sword, the chivalrous daughter of the Yun family, I have no chance with you. Yuwen Chengdu was drinking sullenly in this cabinet room, and the shopkeeper was gossiping with his cousin.

After a while, I heard someone shouting outside, "Shop, shop, shop, and house, there are six of us!"

The shopkeeper didn't even bother to find a shop, so he shouted out through the window: "There is no house! Let's go to another house!" After he had taken the guests away, he chattered to himself, saying: "Only now are you looking for a shop? Let them find it! He will not even be able to find a stable! There are more than 30 shops in this city, and now they are allowed to be fully preserved.

How many guests and horses who went to the north had bodyguards, and they had stayed here since three days ago! They didn't dare to go north again, for fear of calling the red scorpion to sting them!"

As soon as Yuwen Chengdu heard the shopkeeper mention the red scorpion, he immediately put down the wine jug, turned around and asked, "Shopkeeper, what's the matter?" Is the red scorpion making a lot of trouble in this area?"

The shopkeeper said: "Why aren't you fierce? Over the years, there have been no big thieves in Henan." When the Black Mountain God was alive in the ninth day, his wife Red Scorpion was in Fangcheng Mountain, although it was okay to make trouble. But it wasn't as fierce as it is now. Now he has fifty or sixty minions and two female apprentices. Her two female apprentices were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they were all skilled in swords and hidden arrows. A big scorpion with two small scorpions, who would dare to mess with it?"

The high shopkeeper who could tell a story next to him said: "The red scorpion is also a stranger, she is like Fan Lihua and Liu Jinding, with two female generals, and there are 500 personal soldiers under the account. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Then you should be Xue Dingshan, Yang Zongbao go, right?" His cousin shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't have such great skills, I want to meet Lishan's old mother to teach me a few martial arts, and if I shave my beard again, I dare to go." ”

Yuwen Chengdu drank some more wine, but a whimsical thought occurred in his heart, and he secretly thought: "That girl must be the daughter of my enemy, although she has a little affection for me, but the marriage is inseparable." I can't live in widowhood all my life, I must find a beautiful woman who knows martial arts as a wife.

Of the two female disciples of the Red Scorpion, I may have prepared one for me. Therefore, he was excited for a moment, so he asked the shopkeeper, "I wonder where the red scorpion is entrenched now?" I would like to look at her and her two female apprentices. ”

The shopkeeper sneered and said, "Come on, my uncle, don't tell jokes! I advise you to stay here for a few more days, and don't go north yet!"

Yuwen Chengdu listened to the shopkeeper's advice not to go north, and he couldn't help but smile. The tall shopkeeper next to him cast his eyes on Zhang Yunjie's face, and he said: "This uncle is going to meet the red scorpion, at most his luggage has been robbed, and his life cannot be lost." Since ancient times, Chang'e has loved young people, didn't those female generals mentioned in the book rob a beautiful guy and force them to get married?" Yuwen Chengdu laughed more and more.

But the shopkeeper waved his hand again and again, and said, "Uncle, don't listen to him, he has become a book lover! The red scorpion is not like those female generals in ancient times, I heard that she does not like beautiful young men, but loves stupid big black and coarse." Earlier, the black mountain god looked uglier than me in the ninth day, but the red scorpion is still wearing filial piety, and she has not remarried anyone else.

Uncle, don't fall for him, we don't want the guests to leave here and suffer, you better not go! Wait for two days when the guests get together, and then go together, and then cross the Taihang Mountain. ”

When Yuwen Chengdu heard this, he knew that the red scorpion thief group was now entrenched in Taihang Mountain, smiled, and stopped talking. After eating, he felt that it was no fun to stay here.

And before it was yet two watches, he went to the bedside and opened the package, changed into a beautiful gown, brought some silver taels, and walked out of the store.

Outside this gate is the street, the shops are very prosperous, stand on the street and see, there are lights everywhere, it is really like the Shangyuan lamp market.

Yuwen Chengdu walked around, because he didn't have a blade, he wanted to find a shop to buy a sword, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see a shop with weapons. Seeing that he was about to walk to the north gate, he suddenly heard a sound of silk and bamboo, blowing into his ear drums. He stood and listened carefully, and listened to the sound of silk and bamboo, mixed with the beating of drums, and the soft voice of a woman singing. When I turned my head, I saw that there was a teahouse on the west side of the street, and the lights were brilliant upstairs, and the sound of strings, drums, and women singing came from that building.

Yuwen Chengdu walked over and saw that the horizontal plaque there said "Taiping Tea House". There are two wooden signs hanging in front of the door, with red paper and gold characters on them, which read: "The society specially invites the Yanqun class of Kaifeng Mansion, Xiao Lingbao, Liang Meimei, Zhang Yuzi, and all the girls to perform on stage to perform the pendant play and lotus fall." ”

Yuwen Chengdu was a little drunk at this time, and his depression was not gone, and he was thirsty, so he entered the tea house. When I went upstairs along the ladder, I saw a beautiful singing field in front of me.
