The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter Eight

One month later, by the Dongting Lake.

The morning sun reflects on Dongting Lake, making a bay of blue water sparkling.When the weather is calm and the sea is calm, Dongting is like a smooth bronze mirror, reflecting the beautiful scenery of the four directions, like a beautiful landscape painting.If there is a wind blowing, the lake will surge up in waves in an instant, like a tiger descending a mountain, or like a wild horse running free, doing magnificent and beautiful things.Looking at the beautiful Junshan Mountain dozens of miles away, I feel more and more that the beautiful scenery in front of me is like a fairyland.

Yun Zixiao was sitting under a tall sycamore tree at the moment, looking at the lake in the distance, as if admiring the beautiful scenery, but also thinking about something on his mind.Wan Jianfeng was leaning against the tree trunk, holding a wine gourd in one hand and a freshly grilled fish in the other.

He looked at Yun Zixiao with a smile, and shouted: "Brother Yun, don't just sit there in a daze, come and eat a grilled fish. I'm not bragging, my grilled fish is absolutely top-notch, if you miss it, you will regret it forever! "

Yun Zixiao slowly stretched out his hand to take the grilled fish handed over by Wan Jianfeng, but he didn't eat a bite, and just stared at the water in a daze.His eyes were as calm as lake water, without any waves.It seems that he is just looking at the lake and enjoying the scenery, and no one knows what he is thinking in his heart.

Wan Jianfeng scratched his head in doubt, and asked: "Brother Yun, since the day I met you, you have always looked like this. Maybe people think I owe you money! What are you thinking? Tell me!" Let me listen too, maybe I can give you some advice!"

Yun Zixiao didn't seem to hear what Wan Jianfeng was saying at all, but after a while he still replied coldly: "You don't understand, and no one in the world can understand!"

Wan Jianfeng stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Haha, if you don't want to tell me, I don't want to hear it anymore. I haven't experienced anything when I grow up, but I have never been like you. There is nothing in the world that is the same. If there is anything that can’t be solved by one jar of wine, then two jars!”

Yun Zixiao smiled slightly, then got up and said: "I hope you will stay drunk in the wine jar forever and don't wake up. Well, we should go too. There are rumors along the way, saying that the Liao soldiers have repeatedly violated the border and lost a lot in a row. Several generals of the Song Dynasty, including the founding father Murong Yanzhao, have all died in battle. Now the Song Dynasty is employing people, if we can get to Bianliang as soon as possible, we will be able to make a difference!"

Wan Jianfeng was startled when he heard the words, and said in disbelief: "What! Murong Yanzhao died in battle, so the little witch became an orphan? I plan to spend some days and go to Ezhou to teach her a lesson. It seems that this The next thing is to learn the lesson!"

Yun Zixiao asked: "What does her father's death have to do with you teaching her?"

Wan Jianfeng nodded and said: "This young hero has the best heart, how can he be as knowledgeable as a lonely and helpless little girl? It's a pity that I will never be able to avenge that sword in this life!"

Yun Zixiao said: "You are so kind-hearted, hurry up and lead the way, don't let me miss this opportunity. Once I miss this opportunity, I don't know how long I will have to wait until I can show what I have learned in my life." !"

Wan Jianfeng shook his head, "Don't worry! I heard from Mr. Shi that the Liao Kingdom is very warlike and has often attacked the Central Plains since decades ago. Even if it is forced to retreat this time, it will come back in a few years. Why is there such a rush!"

Yun Zixiao frowned slightly, and asked, "Where do you think we should go now?"

Wan Jianfeng pointed to Junshan in the distance, and said with a smile: "Of course I'm going to Junshan! The head of the Beggar Gang, known as the largest gang in the world, is located in Junshan. We've all come here, don't you want to go and see?"

Yun Zixiao shook his head and said, "What's so interesting about a place where a bunch of beggars stay!"

Wan Jianfeng said unhappily: "Bah! What's wrong with beggars? You look down on beggars? If it weren't for me, beggars, you wouldn't have come to Dongting, I'm afraid you would have turned back to Kunlun Mountain long ago! I've thought about it for a long time. I joined the Beggars' Clan, but they thought my martial arts were inferior and refused to accept me. Now that I have finally mastered martial arts, and I happened to be here, but you don't let me go up the mountain, are you sincerely making life difficult for me!"

Yun Zixiao snorted coldly, and walked straight towards the main road leading to Bianliang without saying a word, "Wan Jianfeng, if you still want me to buy you wine, take me to Bianliang quickly. Otherwise, you and I will Just walk half of the road facing the sky, and no one knows anyone!"

Seeing this, Wan Jianfeng said disdainfully: "Hmph, that's what you said! Who cares to drink your broken wine, it's sour and smelly, it's not as good as well water! If you're not afraid that you won't be able to find Bianliang by yourself , just go ahead!"

Yun Zixiao glared at Wan Jianfeng, then strode forward without any hesitation.Seeing that he really left, Wan Jianfeng curled his lips, "I can't help being funny, I'm really angry, where can I get wine now?" He looked around as he spoke, and saw a dense forest in the distance Bamboo forest, beside the bamboo forest was a dilapidated shed, like a dilapidated wine shed, he subconsciously walked towards the shed.

He walked around the bamboo forest and wanted to rest in the broken shed, when he suddenly heard a young girl's angry voice in the bamboo forest, "You villain is also worthy of attacking this girl? If you have the ability, don't play tricks, untie my acupoints and see." I will kill you with one sword!"

Wan Jianfeng stopped when he heard the sound, and looked into the forest curiously.But the bamboo forest was very dense, and after looking for a long time, he didn't even see a person, and the woman's voice didn't sound again. He couldn't help muttering: "What's the matter? The forest in the blue sky is haunted by a ghost? It's a female ghost! According to legend, All the female ghosts are like flowers, I must open my eyes today!" He subconsciously walked into the bamboo forest and walked towards the direction of the sound.

He saw an open space in the forest in the distance. Two men were squatting in the open space. In front of them lay a beautiful girl with a long sword at her feet.

Among them was a slightly thin man with a ferocious face, a horizontal scar on the left side of his face, his hands clamped tightly on the girl's feet, his eyes were full of excitement and greed, and his saliva was about to flow down.The other slightly fat man patted the shoulder of the slightly thin man with a smile, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Wan Jianfeng was a little disappointed seeing this scene, but he still couldn't help clenching his fists, making a "clack" sound.He sneaked around, carefully walked around behind the three of them, and observed the movements of the two men under the cover of a few tall green bamboos in front of him.

The fat man pointed at the woman on the ground and said, "Brother Zhang, your seniority in the water village is older than mine, so I won't fight with you. But when you're done, you have to give her to me, and I want to enjoy it too! "

The skinny man shook his head, "Brother, what are you talking about? You are a celebrity in front of the Yao village master, how dare I fight with you, you should come first!"

The fat man smiled when he heard the words, "Brother, what you said is true? Then you're welcome, brother!" He reached out to touch the girl's cheek as he spoke.The girl glared angrily at the two men in front of her. She wanted to shout out, but she was so angry that she couldn't.

Seeing this, Wan Jianfeng staggered over with his wine gourd in his arms, and said drunkenly as he walked, "Two...two brothers, you...what are you doing...what are you doing here? Please...ask me , how to go to the head of the beggar gang?"

Seeing someone approaching, the two men instinctively stood up and showed their doors, preparing to join hands to teach the meddling young man in front of them a lesson.But then the two burst out laughing, and the fat man pointed at Wan Jianfeng and said, "Smelly beggar, what does it matter to you that our brother is playing with women here? Could it be that you are greedy after seeing a beautiful woman? "

Wan Jianfeng smiled and nodded, "Haha, who doesn't like a pretty girl, but it's a pity that you ruined her like this!"

The thin man frowned when he saw this, "Smelly beggar, mind your own business, get the hell out of your way, grandpa! Be careful I'll kill you with my palm!"

The fat man also said: "Why are you so close? Are you going to grab a woman from our brothers?"

Wan Jianfeng pointed to the girl on the ground, then pointed to the outside of the forest, and said with a smile: "Haha, you two don't look like idiots, why are you so confused? No one doesn't like such a beautiful girl, so you just ruined it like this." It can be fun for a while, but if your village master finds out, can you still live?"

The fat man laughed and said: "Hahaha, our village master never cares about these things! He has married Mrs. Yazhai in twenty or thirty houses, why don't we allow our brothers to be happy?"

Wan Jianfeng shook his head and said: "Say you don't look like an idiot, you really are an idiot! You don't even think about it, is this girl beautiful, or the village owner's [-]-[-] Mrs. Yazhai?"

The fat man thought for a while and said, "Well, it seems that this girl is prettier!"

Wan Jianfeng nodded and said: "That's right, if you dedicate her to the village owner, the village owner will be happy, and the rewards for you will definitely be indispensable. But if you ruin such a beautiful girl, the village owner will surely Furious, when the time comes, you have to be careful of your own heads!"

The two of them heard that you look at me and I look at you, and then respectfully saluted Wan Jianfeng, "Thank you, young man, without your reminder, our brother would have made a big mistake! Dare I ask?" Is this young hero also a brother in our village?"

Wan Jianfeng smiled and waved his hands, "You're welcome, you're welcome!" Then he walked slowly behind the two of them, and when they were unguarded, his hands rushed out and instantly sealed several vital points around the two of them.The two of them felt a sudden numbness all over their bodies, and suddenly lost their strength, and with two muffled "plop plop", they both fell heavily to the ground.

"Hahaha!" Wan Jianfeng laughed, pointing at the two thieves: "You think you know how to tap acupuncture points, but I can't do it? Your trivial skills are really not on the table, but the few big acupuncture points I tapped are enough for you to bear Two or three hours. You just lie here obediently, and don’t blame me if you are taken away by wild beasts at night!”

As he said, he squatted in front of the girl, and was about to untie her acupuncture point, but suddenly he was stunned, "Huh? Why do I feel that she looks so familiar, as if I have seen her before? Where have I seen her before?"

Wan Jianfeng muttered to himself softly, while reaching out his hands to grope around the girl's body, trying to find the acupuncture points where she was tapped.In an instant, the expression on his face became weird, as if he was a little embarrassed, he hesitated for a moment, but he stretched out his hand and tapped the girl's chest a few times, and said in his mouth: "If you are sick, you can't avoid the doctor, if you are sick, you can't avoid the doctor! You must never Blame me!"

As soon as his words fell, the girl was able to support herself and sit up. Wan Jianfeng saw her sitting up and said with a smile: "Haha, I helped you untie your acupoints, and I also restrained those two villains. How are you going to thank me?"

The girl didn't say a word, raised her hand and gave Wan Jianfeng a slap in the face, and said angrily: "The prodigal son! If it wasn't for the sake of saving me, I would have killed you with one sword!" She said Picking up the long sword on the ground, he sneered and approached the two men who had just molested her.

"Didn't you want to be happy just now? I'll send you to the King of Hades to be happy right now!" As she spoke, the long sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and two flashes of coldness appeared in an instant.With the disappearance of the cold light, the two people had already separated their bodies and heads, and blood spurted out continuously, staining the bamboo forest with blood!
Wan Jianfeng stuck out his tongue in fright, and the figure of the little witch appeared inexplicably in his mind, and he muttered softly: "It seems that the stories my mother told me when I was young are all deceptive, saying that girls are gentle and virtuous, but the girl in front of me A girl kills without blinking an eye? In her eyes, killing two people is less important than crushing two ants, no wonder people say the world is dangerous!"

The girl turned around and glared at Wan Jianfeng, and scolded: "Smelly beggar, you were contemptuous of me last time we met, and you are still touching me today! I don't have time to kill you now. See you in Hualou, if it's a man, come and fight me to the death!"

Wan Jianfeng scratched his head and asked the girl, "Hey! When did we meet? Make it clear!" He spoke in a loud voice, but the girl didn't seem to hear her, she just put the long sword back into its sheath silently, He walked quickly out of the bamboo forest, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Who is it!" Wan Jianfeng touched his red and swollen face and muttered dissatisfiedly, then he also left the bamboo forest and strode towards the dilapidated shed.
