But it was said that Xu Yun took Yelu Longqing with him, taking advantage of the large number of people on the street and not easy to be discovered, and escaped all the way out of the Daimyo's Mansion City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Xu Yun did not exert his light skills with all his might, he was also extremely fast. Thanks to Yelu Longqing, who had been training with the soldiers in the military camp since he was young, his physical strength was different from ordinary people, and he could barely keep up with Xu Yun's pace. But even so, Yelu Longqing was already so tired that he couldn't breathe, and he waved at Xu Yun and shouted, "Zhuangman, you run slowly!"

Xu Yun stopped, looked at Yelu Longqing's panting appearance, and said in his heart: "It's not a way to run away like this, he hasn't practiced light skills after all, if he runs like this, sooner or later he will be caught up by the beggars." Then he pointed to a small mountain not far from the left and said, "There is a cave on that mountain, let's go to that cave and hide in it first, and see if we can survive until dawn." ”

From the day he learned that the beggar gang was going to assassinate Yelu Longqing, Xu Yun began to carefully investigate the terrain outside the Daimyo's Mansion in order to quickly find a hiding place once he was in trouble.

The cave was not big, just enough to accommodate Xu Yun and Yelu Longqing, and if one more person came in, it would be crowded. Yelu Longqing sat in the cave, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Xu Yun: "Thank you for the rescue, I don't know the name of the strong man?" Xu Yun clenched his fists and said to Yelu Longqing: "In the next is a cloth cloth, just a name, not worth the prince's teeth." ”

Yelu Longqing saw that Xu Yun didn't want to tell his name, so he didn't ask any more, and changed his words: "Well, I wanted to come to the Daimyo's Mansion tonight to watch the lanterns, but I didn't expect to lose my life, hahaha, it's really interesting!" Xu Yun glanced at Yelu Longqing and said: "The prince came to my Daimyo's Mansion this time, didn't he bring a few personal guards?" Yelu Longqing said: "There are four guards who came here with this king, but this king thought that there would be no major incident if he went to Yishui Pavilion to play, so he ordered the four of them to drink in Washington and didn't bring them out." However, this king thinks about it, such a big battle in the Yishui Pavilion, even if he takes the four of them, it is useless, and he still needs a martial arts master like Your Excellency to be by his side. ”

Xu Yun smiled slightly, and said flatly: "The prince is accompanied by Hua Sanye, and it is normal not to want to go out with the guards." ”

Yelu Longqing waved his hand and said, "No, it's still not good." Although Hua Gong's martial arts are high, he can only protect himself, and if he wants to take me out of the encirclement, he still has to rely on Your Excellency to help. ”

Xu Yun looked outside the cave, and didn't look at Yelu Longqing: "The prince's words are wrong, and it is not up to me to help you leave Yishui Pavilion." Has the prince forgotten that in addition to the third master Hua, there are three other people on the side to protect your safety? If it weren't for these three people, the prince would have died in Yishui Pavilion long ago. ”

"Well, that makes sense. In your opinion, what is the martial arts of these three people?"

"These three people are all first-class masters in martial arts, especially the scholar who holds a folding fan, and his martial arts are not under Hua Sanye. ”

"And how is he better than you?"

"Between the best. ”

"I don't think so. Your Excellency's martial arts are much higher than theirs. ”

"How so?"

"That scholar once made a move on Your Excellency, but was dissolved by Your Excellency lightly, which shows that Your Excellency's martial arts are far above him. ”

The prince laughed. ”

"These are all things that the king has seen with his own eyes, and they are not false. Your Excellency has a unique skill, but you can't use it again, so why don't you follow this king from today? Yelu Longqing patted Xu Yun's shoulder with his left hand and said with a smile.

Xu Yun turned his head to look at Yelu Longqing, and removed the hand he put on his shoulder: "I'm used to being comfortable in my life, and I really don't want to obey anyone." The words of the prince are really difficult to obey. ”

Yelu Longqing saw that Xu Yun did not have a trace of joy and anger in his words, and he really couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he said again: "In the past, Liu Xuande's visit to Zhuge Wuhou was 'where you go, you see'. Your Excellency is also a great hermit, and such a hasty invitation as tonight seems to be abrupt to this king. If this king is able to get out of trouble tonight, he will invite you out of the mountain with a heavy gift one day, so as to show this king's thirst for talent. ”

Xu Yun shook his head and said: "The prince doesn't have to be like this, the villain is just a mountain and wild man, not worth mentioning." Furthermore, if you intend to join the WTO, you must also serve my Great Song Dynasty, how can you switch to a foreign country?"

"The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, my great Khitan is prosperous, and its prestige spreads far and wide, so why is it wrong for Your Excellency to vote for my Khitan?" Yelu Longqing mentioned the strength of the Khitan, and the pride in his chest suddenly became high-pitched. In the small cave, the voice of "what is wrong" constantly echoes.

Xu Yun still shook his head, looked at the night sky outside the cave, and said lightly: "Ten years ago, a friend of mine once told me that the ancient sages had such words, 'Profit the country, do not seek wealth and nobility', 'Do not forget the country in times of trouble, and be loyal'. I don't know the meaning of these words, can the prince understand?"

Yelu Longqing and his brother Yelu Longxu, under the supervision of their mother Empress Dowager Xiao, studied sinology and read the classics since they were young, so they naturally understood the meaning of the two sentences quoted by Xu Yun, so they had to smile awkwardly: "Although this king is not a Han Chinese, this king still understands the meaning of these two sentences." Since Your Excellency has no intentions, then the king will no longer be reluctant. If one day your excellency changes your mind and comes to join him, the king will meet him. ”

Xu Yun smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your kind eyes." ”

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering dog barking outside the cave, and Xu Yun's face changed: "It's still here after all!"

He stood up and said to Yelu Longqing, "Is the prince good at killing dogs?"

Yelu Longqing was stunned and said, "Kill the dog?"

Xu Yun pointed to the outside of the cave and said, "Those wild dogs outside are all coming for us." If you listen to this cry, there must be a lot of them, and I can't take care of so many beasts for a while, and I still need the prince to do it himself. ”

"Hahaha, it's just a wild dog!" Yelu Longqing pulled out the short knife at his waist and laughed, "This knife once cut the heart of a bear and used it to kill a dog, but it was overkill." ”

"That's very good. I have a few words of advice to the prince, and I also ask the prince to remember that no matter what happens, the prince only needs to guard the entrance of the cave and never step out of the cave for half a step, otherwise, his life will be in danger. As for the things outside the cave, leave them to you. With that, Xu Yun had already strode out of the cave.

He looked at the wild dogs climbing down the hill and seemed to be able to hear the heavy gasps of these beasts with a keen sense of smell.

These wild dogs are naturally the "dog sons" raised by the Qu Dog King, who is known as the "dog beggar". The king of the dogs followed the dogs, and when he saw a man suddenly appearing on the hillside, he shouted, "Ahead, have you ever seen two big men passing by here?"

Xu Yun was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "He is not in Yishui Pavilion, so he doesn't know me." Then he said: "I have just arrived here, and I have never seen any big men." ”

"Thank you very much. Qu Dog King replied, not as if he hadn't noticed anything unusual at all.

But those wild dogs didn't leave, stopped a few steps away from Xu Yun, and crunched down and roared in a low voice.

The Qu Dog King had already run out, but when he saw that the dogs were not moving, he ran back to Xu Yun's side, looked at him carefully, and muttered to himself: "Shawl and slender...... It turns out that you are the master that Li Da said! No wonder the dogs and babies are gone. Tell me, where did you hide that Khitan?"

Xu Yun shook his head and said, "What Khitans, I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

Qu Dog King pointed to the wild dog behind him with his thumb, and said to Xu Yun: "Hmph, my dog son's nose is very smart. They smell the table legs you use to beat people, and they follow you all the way. Now that they're gone, can you tell me why?" The wild dogs all got up and barked at Xu Yun when they heard the Qu Dog King's words being quite stern.

"You son of a dog, it's really tricky. Xu Yun tightened his cuffs and sighed.

"Then you admit it? Hmph, come on, where did you hide that Khitan man?" Qu Dog King touched his bald head and laughed. In the moonlight, his eyes seemed to glow green, just like those dog sons behind him.

But before Xu Yun could speak, two wild dogs had already jumped out and quickly burrowed into the cave behind Xu Yun.

After listening to the two dogs "whining" and screaming twice, there was no movement in the cave, and the King of Qu Dog couldn't help but smile: "It turns out that the Khitan Fanzi is hiding in the cave! You get out of the way for me, I will use the life of this Khitan Fanzi to fight my dog!" After saying that, he stepped forward with his fist and hit Xu Yun in the chest.

Xu Yunwei turned to one side, tightly held Qu Dog King's wrists and said, "This person can't die!"

"Why not, do you know who he is? He is Yelu Longqing, the Khitan prince!" exclaimed the Qu Dog King.

"I know. ”

"Then why did you stop me, look at your cloak, are you a Khitan?"

"I am a Han Chinese, a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Do you know how many of our clansmen that person behind you killed?you let go, I'm going to kill him!" Qu Dog King pulled his arm back a few times, intending to break free from Xu Yun's clamp. Helplessly, Xu Yun's hands were extremely strong, and no matter how he struggled, it would be useless.

Seeing that Xu Yun insisted on stopping him, Qu Dog King said angrily: "It turns out that you, like Hua Yongfu, have already taken refuge in the Khitans!" Then he whistled and ordered the dogs to attack and besiege Xu Yun.

Xu Yun saw that a vicious dog pounced, so he had to let go of the Qu Dog King with both hands, and waved his palm to repel the vicious dog.

Seeing that his hands were taken off, Qu Dog King took the opportunity to dodge and jump backwards, avoiding Xu Yun far away. He saw through the moonlight that his hands and wrists had been clenched blue, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, so he kept shouting, calling the wild dogs to attack in turn, eager to tear Xu Yun to pieces.

Although these wild dogs led by the Qu Dog King were fierce, they were not fierce beasts such as bears and tigers after all, and they were beaten away one after another by Xu Yun. Most of the wild dogs couldn't withstand Xu Yun's palm power, and they had already died of bliss before they landed. When the rest of the wild dogs saw that Xu Yun was so terrifying, they didn't dare to step forward, no matter how the Qu Dog King shouted, they just bared their teeth and roared, not daring to get close to Xu Yun for half a step.

"Damn, the dog just can't do it!" Qu Dog King scolded viciously as he rubbed his faintly aching wrist. Although he was already angry, he didn't dare to make a reckless move because he was afraid of Xu Yun's martial arts, but he just made a group of dogs bark around Xu Yun.

At this time, it was late at night, and the barking of dogs on the mountain was particularly noticeable. Xu Yun saw that the Dog King kept looking down the mountain, knowing that he was using the barking of dogs to lure the beggars to help the masters come, but he didn't stop him. In the depths of Xu Yun's heart, he seemed to be waiting for the beggar gang masters to come. After all, he hasn't walked around the rivers and lakes for ten years, and he is actually looking forward to playing against the masters.

Since the competition with Dugu Regret in the Jiqing Gambling House, Xu Yun has never met a martial arts master. A character like the three beggars of Hebei, in Xu Yun's eyes, can only be regarded as a good player in the rivers and lakes, and is not among the first-class masters. And this time, he was able to confront the beggars of the Hebei Martial Arts Gang, and Xu Yun was faintly excited in his heart. Although he understood that the top priority at the moment was to protect Yelu Longqing's safety, the constant flow of flowers in his body was telling him that tonight he would fight against the masters, and even fight for his life, and this opportunity should not be missed.

The barking of dogs really attracted a large number of beggar gang disciples, but in addition to the people of the beggar gang, some Hebei martial arts high-rollers from other sects also followed the crowd to the cave. Seeing that so many people suddenly gathered at the foot of the mountain, Xu Yun couldn't help but have a warm blood, and let out a crisp long howl from his mouth, covering the sound of the dogs barking, and even startled the hundreds of wild dogs, and involuntarily retreated back and gathered around the Qu Dog King. There were some martial arts high-rollers who were climbing, hearing Xu Yun's long howl, and knowing that they were not opponents, they couldn't help but feel timid, stopped moving, and didn't want to fight Xu Yun too early.

"This friend is really good internal skills, your long howl is estimated to wake up the prefect of the Daimyo's Mansion. "There are people who are afraid of Xu Yun's strength, and of course there are people who are quite confident in their own strength, a big man who looks like the Dharma Protector King Kong in the temple, so he rushed to Qu Dog King's side first.

"Brother Song!" Seeing that the first person to arrive was Song Lai, the leader of the beggar gang of the Daimyo's Mansion, Qu Dog King couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted loudly.

"Brother Dog King, is this the Khitan prince Yelu Longqing?" Song Lai asked when he saw that Xu Yun was the only one on the other side.

"No, this person is the master who broke the three-star array of the Li family brothers' bamboo sticks in Yishui Pavilion with one move, as for Yelu Longqing, he is hiding in the cave behind this person. "Qu Dog Wang said.

"Hahaha, it turns out that this Khitan prince is actually a shrunken-headed turtle! Can such a straw bag really lead troops into battle?" Song Lai laughed, his words full of mockery. When the Qu Dog King heard this, he also laughed.

The Khitan folk style was already strong and martial, and Nayelu Longqing was born in the army, and he had already led troops to fight on the battlefield when he was a teenager, how could he endure such humiliation? When he heard Song Lai's words in the cave, his heart suddenly felt murderous, and he couldn't help but hold the short knife and take a few steps forward.

Xu Yun heard the sound of footsteps in the cave behind him, hurriedly took a few steps back, blocked the entrance of the cave, and said in a low voice: "The prince must not be impulsive, but he can't be confused by these few boring words." ”

"The king understands. After Yelu Longqing squeezed out these four words, he quietly retreated.

Xu Yun saw that there were more and more people gathered around Song Lai and Qu Dog King, so he hugged his fist and saluted Song Lai: "Dare to ask this hero is the beggar Song Tuantou?" Song Lai looked Xu Yun up and down, and saluted back: "I am Song Lai of the Daimyo Mansion, I don't know what this friend is called?" Xu Yun said: "I am a nameless person in the rivers and lakes, even if I report my name and surname, most of Song Tuantou will not recognize it, so it is better not to say it." ”

"Hmph, is it a nameless? Xu Daxia has just done something that caused a sensation in the martial arts, how can he be a nameless?" Before Song could respond, a person standing behind him suddenly spoke. When Xu Yun heard this, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and said loudly: "I don't know which hero is speaking, can you show your true face?"

Song Lai turned around and looked back, and saw that the person who spoke was a young man with a steel knife in his hand, and he felt embarrassed, so he asked, "Who is this brother?" Do you recognize this surnamed Xu?"

The young man smiled, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Everyone, my brother's name is Lu Qi, and he is also an unknown person in the rivers and lakes. However, the "nameless" in my mouth is true, but the "nameless" in this Xu Daxia's mouth is fake. This Xu Daxia is the great disciple of Baiyun Peak Yunzhuang Zhuang Advocate Fang Zhou, Xu Yun!"

When Song Lai heard this, he laughed and said: "Hahaha, is Brother Lu telling a joke? I heard that Zhang Fangzhou and Zhang Daxia of Yunzhuang are the most chivalrous people in the martial arts, and the apprentices he taught are all heroes. If the person in front of him is really Zhang Daxia's apprentice, how can he help the Khitans?"

Lu Qi sneered: "It seems that Brother Song doesn't believe my brother's words, but if I say this big thing that Xu Yun has done that has caused a sensation in the martial arts, Brother Song should believe me." ”

"What is the big event that caused a sensation in the martial arts?" Song Lai said curiously.

"Fellow martial artists, brother, I happened to go to Luzhou a few days ago, and the streets and alleys there have spread all over the place, Zhang Daxia of Yunzhuang has been killed!" Lu Qi raised his voice to everyone, "And the murderer who killed Zhang Daxia is his eldest apprentice, this Xu Yun standing in front of us!"

"What?" Song Lai was shocked when he heard this. And all the heroes on the mountain couldn't help but be surprised when they heard the news.

"Brother Lu, what you said is true?" Song Lai still couldn't believe it.

"No, this news has already spread in the south. If Brother Song doesn't believe it, he can send someone to Jiangnan to see if the surname Lu is lying. Lu Qi pointed at Xu Yundao with a steel knife, "This person secretly communicates with the Khitan dog thief for disloyalty, and kills his own teacher for unfilial piety." Such a disloyal and unfilial person is really a shame for my great Song Wulin! Brother Song, do you think we can keep him and continue to do harm in the rivers and lakes?"

"Well, such a martial arts scum, I really can't keep it. Xu Yun, do you have anything to say?" Song Lai nodded and asked Xu Yundao.

When Xu Yun heard Lu Qi speak, he knew what he wanted to say. When he saw Song Lai asking about himself, he shook his head and said, "Regarding the death of the family teacher, the misunderstanding in this cannot be explained in a few words. Whether you believe it or not, in short, Xu is not the perpetrator. As for the protection of Yelu Longqing, there is also a reason for it, but there is no intention of betraying the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"With such pale words, do you think we will believe you? Today I will eliminate the harm for the martial arts!" As soon as Xu Yun finished speaking, Lu Qi had already swung his knife and shouted and slashed at Xu Yun.

Xu Yun saw that Lu Qi's knife technique was calm, and he seemed to be a good hand, so he couldn't help but praise: "Good knife technique!" I saw him turn sideways to avoid the slash, hold the back of the knife tightly with his right hand, and his left hand had already made a palm to hit Lu Qi's door. Lu Qi saw that Xu Yun's counterattack was too fast, so he had to spread his hands and abandon the knife, dodging Xu Yun's palm.

Xu Yun turned the steel knife upside down and held it in his hand, and said to Lu Qi: "Thank you Brother Lu for the knife." Seeing that he had made a fool of himself in front of everyone, Lu Qi threw away his blade, shook his head slightly, and then hid in the crowd, not daring to make a sound.
