19. Three Tribulations on a Perilous Path (2)
Nineteen-nine, the three tribulations of the dangerous road (2)
As soon as the two brothers arrived at the west gate of Luoyang, several big men clapped their horses to meet them, saluted Qin Jiang with their fists, and shouted: "Total dart!" Qin Jiang nodded and said: "Everyone, order all the brothers to return to the dart board, my fourth brother doesn't need to look for it for the time being!"
A man with a beard on his face said: "Why is this, has the fourth young master been found?" Qin Jiang said: "I got the news, the fourth brother has returned to Xuzhou, not Luoyang." It's really a shame to let the brothers work hard day after day. Fang Darthead, I will spare you, tell the kitchen, I will set up a banquet tonight to invite everyone to drink, we will not get drunk and go home!"
The dart head was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Okay, my old man likes to pass on such orders!"
When Qin Jiang introduced Qin Chuan to the darts heads, he only said that he was a healthy servant from Xuzhou who came to deliver the message. When everyone saw Qin Chuan's red face and long beard, bending over and bending his back, and looking old, they didn't expect him to be the younger brother of the chief dart head!
The Central Plains Dart Bureau is located on a main street in the east of Luoyang City, between the mountains and rivers, just looking at the façade, it is enough to see the magnificence. The gatekeeper saw Qin Jiang and the others from a distance, and hurriedly came over to pick up the horses.
Qin Chuan said in his heart: "Since he was a child, he felt that the third brother was calm and atmospheric, and he could achieve great things, and now he has become the chief dart head of the world's largest dart game at a young age. It seems that the third brother has done a really good job!"
When he came to the inner hall, Qin Chuan told Qin Jiang about what he had encountered after going down the mountain, the bloody case of the Zhou Mansion's annihilation, the attack on Bailiyi, and Mu Changfeng's turn. As for sending a letter for Baixiweng and getting acquainted with Yi and Mu, it is vague and briefly mentioned.
After Qin Jiang heard him talk about Mu Changfeng and the "Heavenly Dao Alliance", his expression was solemn, and he said: "Brother Chuan, you said that there was no obstacle on the way back, but with Mu Changfeng's ability, how can you easily escape from the palm of his hand?"
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "I don't know if it's because I'm wearing makeup?" Qin Jiang shook his head and said, "Mu Thief is afraid that you will reveal his secret, and he will definitely do his best to intercept and kill you, and he will not let you go easily! According to my guess, most of the time someone secretly helped you on the way, either repelling Mu Thief's pursuers, or diverting Mu Thief's target! Otherwise, you would never have been able to reach Luoyang so smoothly." ”
Qin Chuan was stunned when he heard this, thought for a moment, and changed color: "If Mu Changfeng's men and horses are killed in Luoyang, wouldn't it be because of me alone that the third brother and the dart game will be affected?" Qin Jiang shook his head and said: "The battle between good and evil, is it because of you alone? Those who want to come will always come, so don't be afraid of them." What's more, this is the gathering place of the Shaolin faction, the Great Wind Fort, the Baixi Gang, the Beggar Gang and other major factions in the Central Plains, forgive that Mu Changfeng Although the strength is strong, he may not dare to openly challenge the heroes and heroes of the various factions in the Central Plains! The top priority is how to send you back to the Great Wind Fort safely!"
Qin Chuan shook his head and said: "Third brother, I am entrusted by others, I must go to Shaolin Temple, and I can't go home for the time being!" Qin Jiang was stunned, pondered for a long time, and said: "Yes, entrusted by people, loyal to people." Brother Chuan, you sit down for a while, and I'll go back!"
After a while, Qin Chuan had just eaten two cups of tea, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in Huanpei Dingdong, and saw Qin Jiang slowly coming in with a beautiful young woman under the light.
Qin Jiang said with a smile: "Zhifang, this is Brother Chuan!" The young woman said with a smile: "Qin Lang, Brother Sichuan is dressed like this, I'm afraid you won't recognize it!"
Qin Chuan hurriedly stood up, gave a salute, and said, "Sister-in-law is above, I will be worshiped by the fourth brother!" The young woman Dong Zhifang hurriedly returned the salute. Qin Jiang smiled and said, "It's all my own family, so I don't need to be polite." Brother Chuan, sit down and talk!"
After the greetings were over, Qin Chuan looked at Dong Zhifang, and saw that she was in her twenties, born with a goose egg face, thin eyebrows and sideburns, a white complexion, a slightly pointed chin, shaved shoulders and a thin waist, and her face was very delicate. Qin Chuan sighed, turned his face to Qin Jiang and said, "Third brother, sister-in-law is really beautiful, you are really blessed!"
Qin Jiang smiled and said: "Before your third sister-in-law and I came back from Xuzhou last month, my father and mother said that when Chuan'er came home, I would also ask you a good daughter-in-law." I remember that the second brother joked at the time that the wife he asked for for Brother Sichuan would be as long as he could be half of 'Miss Dong'. Ha Luha, Brother Chuan, why don't you let your third sister-in-law help you find a beautiful girl in Luoyang City?"
Qin Chuan's face turned red, and he was speechless.
Dong Zhifang chirped: "Qin Lang, what nonsense are you talking about, what kind of beauty am I, if you let others hear this, wouldn't you laugh off your big teeth?" After a pause, he said to Qin Chuan: "Brother Chuan, I heard your third brother say that you are being chased and blocked by a strong enemy, and it is not appropriate to expose your hiding for the time being, but I look at your outfit, I am afraid that it will be too annoying, but it will be recognized, I have a thought, I don't know if your two brothers can agree?"
Qin Chuan said: "Please teach me the third sister-in-law!" Qin Jiang smiled and said: "Lady, please speak!"
Dong Zhifang groaned: "Your third brother told everyone that you are a family member who came from Xuzhou to deliver letters, so let's find someone with a similar figure to you, dress up like you, and Ming'er will swagger through the city in Luoyang City, and return to Xuzhou the day after tomorrow." What about you, Brother Chuan, you can change your appearance and quietly go to Shaolin Temple, how about it?"
Qin Jiang slapped his palms and smiled: "Clever plan, what a trick to 'hide from the sky and cross the sea', Brother Chuan, what do you see?" Qin Chuan secretly admired in his heart: "The third sister-in-law is not only beautiful, but also shrewd and capable, and she is really the third brother's virtuous helper." Suddenly I remembered Wanyu, who was also clever and beautiful, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and was about to answer, when my expression suddenly changed slightly, and said, "There is someone on the roof!" Before the words fell, he saw Qin Jiang's figure flickering, and he jumped out of the house silently.
Qin Chuan followed and jumped out of the room. I saw that Qin Jiang had already gone up to the roof, blocking the way of a masked man in Tsing Yi, slashing his fingers and poking his fingers, forcing him to parry again and again, and he couldn't get out.
Qin Chuan flew up to the house, reached out with his right hand, and grabbed the masked man's shoulder. The masked man was taken aback, his body was short, and he slid away, but how powerful the Qin brothers were, although he dodged Qin Chuan's grasp, his face was cold, and the masked black cloth was removed by Qin Jiang!
The masked man reacted with great speed, then turned around and ran out, and at the same time, with a backhand raisal, sneering, and shot out several silver needles, attacking the Qin brothers respectively.
By the time the two of them avoided the silver needle, the masked man had already risen and fallen a few times, knocked over a few of the guards who had come to intercept him, jumped out of the dart game, and walked away like a smoke.
Qin Jiang sighed: "This person must be the one who secretly helps us in the pear orchard, and this silver needle is his unique secret weapon." It's strange why he doesn't want to show up!"
Qin stood on the roof, thinking about Qin Jiang's words, and his heart moved: "The third brother said that it was a unique secret weapon, could it be ......" suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly.
That night, Qin Jiang, the head of the Central Plains Dart Bureau, invited everyone in the Dart Bureau to a banquet, but four tables were set up in the hall, and Qin Chuan, the "healthy servant" who sent a letter from Xuzhou Dafeng Fort, was naturally fortunate to participate.
Qin Chuan was in a bad mood, and he couldn't hold back the persuasion of the darts and his buddies, and he got drunk. Even Qin Jiang's repeated dissuasion failed to stop it.
So Qin Jiang sent someone in public to inform his wife. Soon Dong Zhifang instructed the two men to help Qin Chuan to the guest room, and put hot water for him to bathe. Although Qin Chuan was heavily drunk, he still didn't forget the letter on his body, and said to the two: "Go ahead, I'm not drunk, it'll be fine for a while!"
The two of them said: "We are serving the old man on the order of the housewife, you should let the little one wash it for you!" Qin Chuan pretended to be angry and said loudly: "I'm not drunk, why do you need to let the two of you serve, get out of me!"
After the two closed the door and left, Qin Chuan stripped off his clothes and went into the water, soaked in the basin, and soon turned his head away, leaning on the edge of the basin and falling asleep.
After a while, I heard him snoreing like thunder, the bathtub was steaming, and the water vapor covered the several screens in the room.
At this moment, a cold wind hit the window, blowing out the candles in the room. Suddenly, the room was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.
After a moment, in the silence, only the soft "creaking" of the window was heard, and suddenly it opened, and a slender figure flashed into the room. The window closed quickly and softly.
The black shadow in the night was like a bird, fluttering lightly by the hot water basin, standing quietly, a pair of cold star-like bright eyes in the darkness staring at the drunken Qinchuan, for a long time, suddenly sighed faintly.
Suddenly, Qin Chuan's head sank, and his body was submerged in the water, and with a bang, the overflowing water had splashed to the ground. The black shadow was startled, and hurriedly reached out to drag his head and face out of the water, she paused, turned around and took off the bath towel from the screen, and forcibly dragged Qin Chuan's body out of the bathtub.
Although the night was dark, Qin Chuan's naked body could still be seen in the room, and the figure's face was hot, and his heart was pounding, so he hurriedly used a bath towel to help him dry his body, helped him lie on the bed, and covered the futon.
She had just tucked the corners of the quilt for him, turned around and wanted to go, when she suddenly saw Qin Chuan's hand like lightning, grabbed her warm and soft palm, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister Yu, is it you!"
The man in black was frightened and struggled in a hurry, but where could he break free?
Qin Chuan gasped slightly, and sighed: "Although I drank some wine, I was actually not drunk, this is the idea that the third sister-in-law helped me." Today you helped us with the plum blossom needle, and I guessed that it was most likely you. I told my third brother and sister-in-law about us, and my third sister-in-law said that you must still have me in your heart. So, I'm pretending to be drunk, I'm sorry, I had to use this method to lure you into showing up!"
Although the figure in the darkness was still struggling, Qin Chuan's hands were clenched, making it difficult for her to break free, and after a while, her heart gradually softened.
Qin Chuan sighed: "You know that I like you very much in my heart, I can't live without you." I've been thinking about you day and night for the past month, thinking about the time we spent together. Sister Yu, do you know what Lu said, you are really ruthless! Shangguan Xin said today that you don't like me at all, I am so sad after hearing it, if I can't see you again in this life, I'd rather die myself......"
As soon as he said this, the man in black pounced on him and kissed him. Qin Chuan wrapped his arms around a soft body and kissed her slightly cool lips, and in an instant, the long-lost breath, the long-lost passion, the long-lost tenderness, and the long-lost ecstasy returned to his heart.
The two hugged tightly and kissed deeply, forgetting the world outside their bodies!
I don't know how long it took, Qin Chuan suddenly felt that his mouth was wet and salty, and it turned out to be the taste of tears, and he was slightly shocked in his heart, and said, "Sister Yu, you are crying!"
Yi Wanyu cried: "Brother Chuan, I miss you too, I really miss you." I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you and made you suffer so much!"
Qin Chuan hugged her soft and boneless waist, lest she leave again, and didn't dare to let go, and said, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't think crankily and make you angry in that Flying Tiger Village!"
Yi Wanyu gently put her head against his chin and said faintly: "Silly brother, do you still think that I left you for this matter?"
Qin Chuan was stunned and said, "It's not for this, what is it for?"
