26. The senior brothers walked to Jiqing Town at night, and the wine and meat monks made an appointment to fight Baiyun Peak
Soon, Xu Yun and the others had already lived here for a month in Dugu Regret. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that the day of the Taihu Lake Martial Arts Conference was approaching, Ah Fei would wrap around Xu Yun every day, begging him to take him to the martial arts conference. And Xu Yun just didn't allow it, because he knew very well that what Ah Fei was planning in his heart was nothing more than wanting to see Wang Guanru, Han Ze, Baihu and others, and then find an opportunity to take revenge.
Xu Yun even felt that as long as it was someone from the Heavenly King Gang, Ah Fei wanted to kill him. If he knew that this auspicious gambling house actually belonged to the Heavenly King Gang, he might have set it on fire.
Late that night, Xu Yun secretly came to Zhang Baiqiao's room, knocked on the door and woke Zhang Baiqiao up.
"It turned out to be Senior Brother, what's wrong with this big night?" Zhang Baiqiao didn't sleep long before he was woken up by Xu Yun, and he was very depressed.
"Get dressed, we should go. Xu Yundao.
"Let's go, where are we going?" Zhang Baiqiao rubbed his forehead, opened his eyes wide, and saw that Xu Yun was dressed neatly, carrying a small package on his back, and holding a long sword in his hand, and suddenly said, "Are you going to Taihu Lake?"
Xu Yun nodded: "Yes." ”
"Okay, you wait for me. When Zhang Baiqiao learned that he was going to the martial arts conference, he immediately came to his senses, immediately went back to the room to clean up, poured cold water on his face, and jumped out of the room and said, "Let's go!"
He saw that Xu Yun was the only one outside the house, so he said, "Only the two of us go?"
"Yes. Xu Yun pulled Zhang Baiqiao and walked as he spoke, "I have already told Master Unwise to let him stay here to protect Xiaoyu and Ah Fei." ”
Zhang Baiqiao knew that Xu Yun chose to leave late at night to avoid Ah Fei, so he asked in a low voice: "Then after dawn tomorrow, what if Ah Fei sees us leaving and catches up with us?"
"No, I have already ordered Ah Fei's sleeping hole just now, and he will have to sleep for at least a day and a night. By the time he woke up, we would have gone far away. ”
"Then he can also run out by himself and go directly to Taozhu Villa!"
"Then it depends on the unwise master's ability. Xu Yun said, "However, I don't think Ah Fei should act alone, he can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south when he goes to the wild, so he is also afraid that he will be lost." ”
"That's right, then since you're leaving tonight, why don't you tell me in advance?" Zhang Baiqiao said, "I'm in a hurry." ”
Xu Yun said with a smile: "You are too honest to even make up lies, if I tell you in advance, how can you hide Ah Fei's slippery head?" ”
"That's right. Zhang Baiqiao scratched his head and said with a smile.
At the secret door of the tunnel, Wen Ban was already waiting there, and when he saw Xu Yun and Zhang Baiqiao rushing over, he led the two of them into the Jiqing Gambling House through the tunnel. At this time, it is the most lively time for the gambling house, gamblers gather, and the crowd is full of people.
The three of them quickly walked through the gambling house, and when they walked out of the gate, they saw two gambling house thugs holding two horses waiting on Jiqing Street.
Wen Ban stopped and said, "Okay, Xu Daxia, Zhang Xiaoxia, the old man will send you here." This trip is uncertain, please be careful. ”
Xu Yun took the reins of the horse and said, "Thank you seniors for reminding me." My friends, for the time being, I will be bothering you for a few days, and when the matter is over, I will ask my seniors to send them to Yunzhuang. Although he already knew that the Man in the Iron Mask was Wen Ban, he still only referred to him as a "senior", without adding a surname, so he naturally wanted to keep a secret for him.
"This is natural. Wen Ban said, "My master also hopes that when the time comes, he will send a few distinguished guests to Yunzhuang, rather than to other places." ”
"Haha, of course it's sent to Yunzhuang, otherwise where else will it be sent?" Xu Yun smiled, stepped on the horse, and hugged his fist at Wen Ban and said, "Senior, there will be a period later!"
"There will be a period later. "Wen Ban is also holding fists.
Out of Jiqing Street, Zhang Baiqiao asked: "Senior brother, what do you mean by the words of that iron-faced senior, what do you mean, 'I hope that when the time comes, I will send a few distinguished guests to Yunzhuang, not to other places'?"
Xu Yun said: "He just hopes that we can retreat from the martial arts conference." If something happens to us, then for the sake of Xiaoyu's safety, we can't send them back to Yunzhuang, we can only send them to other places. ”
"However, no matter what happens, you can send your junior sister and them back to Yunzhuang!" Zhang Baiqiao said, suddenly remembering Zhang Yuting's escape from marriage, he realized that he seemed to be wrong, and said again after a while: "Second senior brother...... He shouldn't hate the little junior sister, right...... If you hate...... But no matter what, Yunzhuang is the home of the little junior sister! The second senior brother can't kick the little junior sister out of the house!"
"Bai Qiao, listen, your second senior brother may be the real murderer of Master. Xu Yun finally told Zhang Baiqiao about his suspicions about Qin Zun.
"What? how is it possible?" Zhang Baiqiao was extremely shocked, but quickly regained his composure. From the very beginning, he believed that the master was killed by the sword, and that the falling flower palm was only done to frame Xu Yun. He sorted out his clues, and found that only Qin Zun and Xu Yun seemed to have the most stakes in the entire Yunzhuang, and Qin Zun was a master of using swords, so he was a little suspicious: "Could it be that the fatal sword wound on Master's chest was stabbed by the second senior brother? But who hit the Falling Flower Palm in order to cover up the truth?"
"Who do you think it will be?" asked Xu Yun.
Zhang Baiqiao thought of everything that Jingxin told in Huilin Temple, and said hesitantly: "Could it be ...... Don't...... Second Senior Brother He...... He and the Heavenly King Gang...... Joined forces?" He shook his head, unable to believe it was true.
"Could it be that Wang Guanru killed the master alone?" Zhang Baiqiao said again.
"As far as I know, Wang Guanru is not good at using blades, but it can't be said that there is no such possibility, so I want to ask at the martial arts conference. Xu Yundao, "With so many fellow martial artists present, I think things will still be sorted out." At least Senior Brother Qin should be able to speak well, and not indiscriminately call me a traitor on the left and a traitor on the right as before, without caring what the facts are. ”
Zhang Baiqiao said: "Senior brother, I now understand why you didn't even call your junior sister. If you plan for the worst, this trip to Taozhu Villa may be a trip with no return. ”
"Her martial arts are too poor, of course I can't take her. Xu Yun smiled, "Baiqiao, are you afraid?"
"I'm afraid!" Zhang Baiqiao said, "However, Master's revenge can't be avenged! No matter who harms Master, I have to fight with him, even if I put my life into it, it's nothing!"
"Don't worry, with me, I won't let you put your life into it. Xu Yun smiled.
Under the darkness of the night, the two brothers quickly whipped up their horses and headed straight to the southeast. Xu Yun looked at Zhang Baiqiao's excited expression, and said in his heart: "I don't know if it's right or wrong to take Baiqiao to Taozhu Villa together." Perhaps, I should listen to the unwise monk and leave him with Dugu Regret. ”
Just before leaving the Jiqing Gambling House, Xu Yun had approached the unwise monk and told him that he would leave tonight and go to Taihu Taozhu Villa.
The unwise monk learned that Xu Yun only planned to take Zhang Baiqiao with him, so he said, "Xu Daxia, are you sure you don't need me to go with you?"
"Yes. Xu Yun said, "I hope you can stay here to protect Xiaoyu and Ah Fei." ”
"However, what should I do if the people of the Heavenly King Gang trouble you?" said the unwise monk.
Xu Yun said: "I went to the martial arts conference, not for anything else, I just want to avenge my master." If this matter has nothing to do with the Heavenly Kings Gang, I don't want to cause more trouble. ”
"You don't want to be troubled, you're afraid that the crown will be troublesome. The unwise monk said, "If I were that crown confucian, I would definitely have ended you up at the martial arts conference, because you are strong in kung fu and have fought against me." Only by killing you and becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance in the future can I be steadfast in my heart, and I am not afraid that someone will dare to resist me. This martial arts conference, I'm afraid that you have a life to go, but you don't have a life to return. ”
Xu Yun was silent.
He hesitated for a while, and then said softly, "Monk, I'll ask you a few more things." ”
"What?"
"In case I have something long and short, Xiaoyu and Ah Fei will entrust it to you in the future. Both of them have no families, and they are helpless in the rivers and lakes, and I hope you can take care of them. In addition, Yunzhuang is the villa of my master Zhang Fangzhou. And Xiaoyu is his only daughter, and she should also be the only owner of Yunzhuang. If after I die, there are other people who forcibly occupy Yunzhuang and refuse to leave, please help Xiaoyu take Yunzhuang back!"
After saying that, Xu Yun smiled again. He once thought that for the sake of his master's Yunzhuang, even if Wang Guanru was the real murderer, he should not quarrel with Wang Guanru, because the coming day is long, even if he wants to take revenge, he is not in a hurry, and it is important to take Yunzhuang back first. However, since this martial arts conference was more auspicious, he changed his mind again. As for Yunzhuang - the monk in front of him seems to be a trustworthy person, even if he dies, it should be okay to leave everything to him!
Unexpectedly, the unwise monk shook his head: "Ah Fei and Miss Zhang, I can take care of it." However, that Yunzhuang is your own business, why do you want me to help?
"Didn't you say that I definitely won't be able to come back?"
"So, let me go with you!" said the unwise monk, "Let's join forces to deal with that crown confucian, and we won't necessarily lose." You let Little Baiqiao follow you, aren't you hurting him? You should have left him behind. ”
"No, I can't. Xu Yun refused.
"Why?"
"Avenging the master, that is our senior brother's own business. Xu Yundao, "And helping Xiaoyu recapture the villa left to her by her father is something that should be done out of the morality of the rivers and lakes, not a private matter of Yunzhuang." ”
The unwise monk scratched the back of his head, feeling that it seemed to be this reason, so he said: "Then I don't care, you have to come back, I still have to compete with you!"
"Competition?" Xu Yun only felt surprised.
"I never mentioned it to you, my master, his name is Chen Peng, do you know?"
"Are you a senior disciple of Old Chen?"
"Ah, I'm his apprentice, but I'm not a high-level apprentice. The unwise monk said, "When my master lost to your master, my master was very unwilling. Before he died, he kept thinking about fighting your master, and I came here to fulfill his last wish. But I didn't expect your master to die too, so I'm going to compete with you, and you can't refuse!"
Xu Yundao: "Since you want to compete, let's do it now." ”
"No, I don't want to fight you right now. The unwise monk refused again.
"Why is that?"
"In case I hurt you, how can you still participate in the martial arts conference? When you come back, let's go to Baiyun Peak to fight!"
"I see. Xu Yun smiled, "Okay, that's a decision! You and I will fight it out in Baiyun Peak!"
"Is it the apprentice of the old man Chen?" Xu Yun galloped on the road, looking at the dark night, and said silently.
"I'm looking forward to competing with you!" he thought to himself, and he couldn't help but clamp his legs and urge the horse under his crotch to run quickly.
