In Yixing City, pedestrians come and go, the street on both sides of the peddlers and pawns shoulder to shoulder, under the sun, the bluestone slab is glowing with a faint light, and the sound of shouting and selling is one after another, a lively scene. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhong Qing was not interested, although he looked at the scene in front of him, his mind flew back to the ancient road outside Yingtianfu. Father Zhong Wanhou saw it in his eyes and knew that his daughter had something on her mind.

"What, are you still blaming your father for not taking that kid with you?" Zhong Wanhou said with a smile as he lit his pipe.

"How dare the daughter blame her father, but the beasts in the forest can be grateful to their father, maybe it was the father who prepared a big meal for them. Zhong Qing said.

"Haha, although the ancient road is located in the forest, there are pedestrians every day, where do wild beasts come and go, Qing'er said this, it is clear that she blames her father. Zhong Wanhou said with a smile.

Zhong Qing stopped talking, but paced on the bluestone slab with her hands behind her back, looking aimlessly at the goods sold by the vendors around her. This Yixing City is really worthy of being a prosperous city, with a dazzling array of goods, even business experts like the Zhong family's father and daughter have to be amazed.

"Dad, are we here to see these things? Zhong Qing changed the subject.

"There are still three days left before the third day of the eighth month, and King Ning's Cloud Meeting has not yet started, and after that day, we can end our affairs. Zhong Wanhou took a puff of cigarette and said.

"Look at those people, are they also here to participate in some kind of cloud meeting?" Zhong Qing pointed with a finger.

I saw that not far in front of me, there were some people dressed in the rivers and lakes mixed in the bustling crowd, some carrying swords, some carrying waist knives, and so on.

"That's right, the prestige of King Ning in the rivers and lakes is very high, this time he held a party, many Jianghu sects came deliberately, one is to praise King Ning's field, and the other is also unwilling to be absent at such a time. Things in the rivers and lakes, fighting back and forth, to put it bluntly, are not for the sake of face. Zhong Wanhou said.

"yes, I just don't know if he's ......coming," Zhong Qing muttered to herself.

On the ancient road hundreds of miles away, Ye Cheng, Qi Dahai and others were escorting Li Fu and Zheng Tou to climb the Jade Dragon Mountain, and they wanted to meet the jade scorpion Niangniang for a while. Along the road, I found that there was no pedestrian, and there was no obstruction, and I saw that I was getting closer and closer to the cottage.

After walking a short distance, a three-way intersection appeared in front of him, and Ye Cheng asked, "Leader Zheng, which road should I go up the mountain?"

Leader Zheng looked left and right, and before he could answer, he saw an old man walking on a fork in the road, carrying firewood on his back, obviously looking like a woodcutter.

"Everyone, is this the Jade Dragon Village in Yulonggang?" asked the old woodcutter when he approached and saw so many people here.

"Yes, old man, may I ask which way to go up the mountain?" Ye Cheng arched.

The old woodcutter put down his burden and pointed with his hand: "Don't look at this Yulonggang Gang, in fact, it is not worse than the mountain, it is crooked, if outsiders are really hard to find, you can go up the mountain by taking the easternmost road, and the two roads next to it lead to other places." ”

"Thank you, old man. Ye Cheng said, and he was going to lead everyone to the east.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar in the mountains and forests, and then I saw a cold light coming straight towards the old woodcutter. Ye Cheng was shocked, and in this wilderness, someone suddenly poisoned him.

But seeing the old woodcutter's somersault, he dodged the hidden weapon, and pulled it in the bundle of firewood, with two bright short knives in his hand. Only then did Ye Cheng and Qi Dahai know what kind of woodcutter this old man was, and it turned out to be a person in the rivers and lakes.

I saw the old man say loudly: "What kind of person! What kind of hero is he who suddenly casts a secret weapon?"

"Master Feng Zhai, you disguise yourself and set traps to tempt people to be fooled, is this considered a hero?" I saw a purple-faced man jumping down from a tall tree, it was the man who was called Xie Nu in the restaurant at that time.

"Okay, you are a slave, you really eat inside and outside, on weekdays, the brothers in the village go down the mountain to make a living, you either refuse, or you don't do anything, now it's good, you have intensified your efforts to bring people to the cottage, the jade scorpion lady really raised you for nothing!" The old man shook the double knife in his hand.

"Xie Mou's matter, don't worry about the master of Feng Zhai, I will give an explanation to the jade scorpion mother, I want to take a few people up the mountain now, it is better to ask the master of Feng Zhai to do a convenient job." Xie Nu replied coldly.

"Dog minion, when is it your turn to tell me the conditions!" I saw that the old man Feng Zhai Master's voice did not fall, and he attacked Xie Nu with a knife.

Ye Cheng watched clearly, but seeing the two fighting, the old man's kung fu was solid and his sword skills were refined, but the Xie Nu moves over there were very peculiar, and they didn't seem to be Central Plains martial arts, and every move was as dexterous as a snake.

Feng Zhai's main knife hung on the wind, and every move was like a move, but he could never hurt Xie Nu at all. I saw a sudden change of move in the fight, and his palms roared, going straight to the temples on both sides of the Feng Zhai master, Feng Zhai Lord saw this and hurriedly blocked with a knife, this time he just hit the strategy, and without waiting for the move to use the old, Xie Nu's right palm was withdrawn, and suddenly attacked the lower abdomen of Feng Zhai master.

Feng Zhai Master secretly screamed badly, turned sideways to dodge, Xie Nu's right foot arrived early, and hit Feng Zhai's left face, only to hear a bang, Feng Zhai Lord fell to the ground in response. Immediately afterwards, Dan saw Xie Nu jumping closer, stretched out his hand and snatched a short knife from the master of Feng Zhai, and took advantage of the knife, pitying the master of Feng Zhai who was carrying firewood, and became a ghost under the knife.

Seeing this, Ye Cheng stepped forward and said: "This strong man, thank you for your help, otherwise we may have been deceived by it, but Ning Zhi died after taking it, Ye didn't understand very well, why did he kill this person?"

Xie Nu glanced at Ye Cheng coldly and said, "Do you know who this old man is?"

"Just listen to the strong man called Feng Zhai Master?"

"Yes, this person's surname is Feng, and like the Zheng leader behind you, he is one of the thirteen village owners of this Jade Dragon Cottage, but the one surnamed Zheng is the most useless. Xie Nu said, glanced at Zheng Tou and said.

Leader Zheng wanted to return a few words, but looked at the dead body of Feng Zhai Lord on the ground, then swallowed and spit, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

"Don't look at the age of this old man, but the things that hurt the heavens and reason are the same, I have long had the intention to get rid of this person, but I have not been able to make up my mind. If you don't know the inside story, no matter how high your martial arts are, you will die in life, and the real road up the mountain should be the middle one. Xie Nu threw the short knife beside Lord Feng Zhai and said.

"I see, then in this way, this Feng Zhai master is innocent, and now the fake guide has died, so we can only have you, the real guide, to take us up the mountain. Ye Cheng said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm also a fake?" Xie Nu said with a serious expression.

"If Brother Xie wants to embarrass me, he can do it in Li Fu's shop as early as possible, why wait until now?" Ye Cheng replied while motioning to Qi Dahai and the others, escorting Li Fu and Zheng Tou to the middle path.

Xie Nu looked at Ye Cheng's back, and suddenly had a good impression of this young man, for too many years, he had his own thoughts, so that he rarely smiled, but looking at the young man at this time, he couldn't help but smile, maybe it was because he hadn't been trusted like this for a long time.
