The new version of Xiaoao Jianghu

Chapter 2
The willows are scented by the gentle breeze, and the fragrance of the flowers is intoxicating. It is the spring season in the southern country.

On Ximen Street, Fuzhou Fu, Fujian Province, Qingshiban Road stretches straight out, leading directly to Ximen.In front of a majestic mansion, a two-foot-high flagpole was erected on each of the two stone altars on the left and right, with a green flag flying on the top of the pole.The flag on the right is embroidered with a majestic lion with its teeth and claws stretched out in yellow silk thread. The flag flutters in the wind, making the lion more powerful and agile.Above the lion's head, a pair of bats embroidered with black silk thread spread their wings and fly.The left head flag is embroidered with the words "Fuwei Escort Bureau" in black, with silver hooks and iron strokes, it is extremely strong.

The vermilion lacquer gate of the mansion has gleaming copper nails the size of a teacup, and a plaque on the top of the gate reads "Fuwei Escort Bureau" in large gold lacquer characters, with two small characters "General Number" written horizontally below.There are two rows of long men at the entrance, and there are eight well-dressed men sitting there, all of them with straight backs, showing a heroic spirit.

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes in the backyard, and the eight men stood up together and rushed out the gate.I saw five horses rushing out of the west gate of the Escort Bureau, rushing along the horse path to the gate.At first, a horse was white all over, and the bridle pedals were made of rotten silver. On the saddle was a young man in brocade clothes, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a falcon on his left shoulder, a sword hanging from his waist, and a long bow on his back. Gallop the horse.Followed by four riders, the riders are all in green cloth jackets.

A group of five rushed to the door of the escort agency, and three of the eight men shouted in unison: "The young escort is hunting again!" The white horse held its head high and neighed, and rushed out on the bluestone road.A man shouted: "Shi Biaotou, bring back a wild boar again today, everyone will have a good meal."

A man in his forties behind the boy smiled and said: "A wild boar tail is indispensable for you, but don't fill yourself up with yellow soup." Amidst the loud laughter of the crowd, Wu Qima had already gone far.

The five horsemen left the city gate, Lin Pingzhi, the head of the young bodyguard, pinched his legs lightly, the white horse tossed all four hooves, rushed straight out, and threw the four horsemen behind him far away in a short while.He galloped up the hillside, let go of the falcon, and drove a pair of yellow rabbits out of the forest.He took off the long bow on his back, took out a carved feather from the quiver beside the saddle, bent the bow and set the arrow, with a sound of swish, a yellow rabbit fell down, and when he was about to shoot again, the other rabbit went into the grass is missing.Escort Zheng rushed over on his horse, and said with a smile: "Young Escort, good at archery!" Only Qu Zi Shoubai Er shouted in the forest on the left: "Young Escort, come quickly, there are pheasants here!"

Lin Pingzhi rode his horse over, and saw a pheasant flying out of the forest, Lin Pingzhi swished an arrow, the pheasant flew right over his head, but the arrow missed.Lin Pingzhi raised his horsewhip and whipped it into the air, with all his force, he knocked the pheasant down with a bang, and the colorful feathers flew in all directions.The five laughed in unison.Shi Biaotou said: "Young Biaotou's whip, let alone a pheasant, even a big vulture!"

The five men were chasing birds and beasts in the forest. Shi and Zheng, two bodyguards, and Bai Er and Chen Qi, the young bodyguards, always drove their prey to him, even if they had a good chance, they would not strike. .After fighting for more than two hours, Lin Pingzhi shot two rabbits and two pheasants, but he didn't get any big animals like wild boar and roe deer. He was still not satisfied, so he said, "Let's go to the mountains ahead and look for them again." go."

Biaotou Shi thought to himself: "This time we go into the mountain, it must be completely dark, and we will have to listen to my wife's complaints when we go back." Then he said: "It's getting late, there are many sharp rocks in the mountain, don't hurt the white horse's hooves Let’s get up early tomorrow and go hunt big wild boars.” Lin Pingzhi’s grandmother bought this horse at a high price in Luoyang and gave it to him on his 17th birthday two years ago.Sure enough, when he heard that he was afraid of hurting the horse's hooves, Lin Pingzhi patted the horse's head and said, "My little Xuelong is very clever, and I will never step on sharp rocks, but you four horses are afraid of it. Okay, everyone Let's all go back, don't break Chen Qi's ass."

The five people laughed loudly and turned the horse's head around.Lin Pingzhi galloped his horse, but instead of going back the same way, he turned to the north, galloped for a while, and finally enjoyed himself, reining in the horse and walking slowly.I saw a wine trick picked out by the side of the road ahead.Escort Zheng said: "Boss Escort, how about we go have a drink? Fresh rabbit meat and pheasant meat are just stir-fried for wine." Lin Pingzhi smiled and said: "It's fake if you come out hunting with me, drinking is what matters. If I don't treat you to drink enough, you will lazily refuse to come out with me tomorrow." Reining in the horse, he got off the horse and walked slowly towards the wine shop.

If it was in the past, the owner of the store, Lao Cai, would have already grabbed the reins in his hand: "Young escort has shot so much wild game today, it's really rare in this world to shoot arrows like a god!" Such a flattery.But now when I came to the front of the shop, it was very quiet in the hotel. I saw a young girl in Tsing Yi next to the wine stove, with a pair of maids on her hair and two thorn hairpins stuck in her head. Come.Chief Zheng shouted: "Where is Lao Cai, why don't you come out and lead the horse?" Bai Er and Chen Qi pulled Chang Ru away, brushed off the dust with their sleeves, and asked Lin Pingzhi to sit down.The two escorts, Shi Zheng, accompanied the Prime Minister, and the two trippers sat at the other table.

There was a coughing sound in the inner hall, and an old man with white hair came out and said: "Please sit down, guest officer, do you want to drink?" He said with a northern accent.Escort Zheng said: "If you don't drink alcohol, why do you still drink tea? First bring three catties of green bamboo leaves. Where is Lao Cai? What? Has the hotel changed owners?" The old man said: "Yes, yes, Wan'er, call me Three catties of green bamboo leaves. To tell the truth from all the guest officials, the little old man’s surname is Sa. He was originally from a local family. Come back to my hometown. I didn’t know that I have been away from home for more than 40 years, and all my relatives and friends in my hometown are gone. It just so happened that Lao Cai in this hotel didn’t want to work anymore, so he sold it to the little old man for 30 taels of silver. Alas, I finally returned to my hometown. Listen to people When people speak their hometown dialect, they can’t tell the benefits in their hearts, and they are so ashamed that the little old man can’t even speak it himself.”

The girl in Tsing Yi lowered her head and held a wooden tray, put the cups and chopsticks in front of Lin Pingzhi and the others, put three jugs of wine on the table, then walked away with her head lowered, never daring to glance at the guests.

Lin Pingzhi saw that the girl had a graceful figure, but her complexion was dark and rough, her face seemed to have many acne scars, and her appearance was very ugly. He thought it was her first time in this wine business, her manner was blunt, and she didn't care at the moment.

Biaotou Shi took a pheasant and a yellow rabbit, handed them to Old Man Sa and said, "After washing and peeling, go fry two large pots." Old Man Sa said, "Yes, yes! If you want to serve wine, use them first. Some beef, broad beans, and peanuts." Wan'er didn't wait for her grandfather to order, and brought beef, broad beans, etc. to the table.Escort Zheng said: "Mr. Lin is the young Escort of the Fuwei Escort, a young hero, a chivalrous man who spends money like water. If your two dishes are cooked to suit the appetite of his young Escort, your 30 taels The capital of silver can be earned back within a month or two." Old man Sa said: "Yes, yes! Thank you, thank you!" He picked up the pheasant and the yellow rabbit and went.

Escort Zheng poured wine into Lin Pingzhi's, Escort Shi's and his own cups, picked up the wine glass, raised his neck and drank it dry, licked his lips with his tongue, and said: "The hotel has changed owners, the taste of the wine has disappeared. Change." He poured another glass of wine, and was about to drink again, when he heard the sound of horseshoes, and two horses came galloping from the official road to the north.

The two horses came very quickly, and when they arrived outside the hotel suddenly, only one person said: "There is a hotel here, go and drink two bowls!" Wearing a green cloth robe, tied his mount under the big banyan tree in front of the shop, walked into the shop, glanced at Lin Pingzhi and the others, and then sat down aggressively.

Both of them had white cloths wrapped around their heads, and they were dressed in green robes. They seemed to be dressed in a gentle manner, but their legs were bare, their feet were barefoot, and they were wearing earless hemp shoes.Biaotou Shi knew that most of the people in Sichuan were dressed like this, and the white cloth wrapped around their heads was the year when Zhuge Liang died, and the people of Sichuan wore mourning for him.But Lin Pingzhi couldn't help being surprised, thinking: "These two people are neither literate nor martial, they look really weird."

The young man shouted: "Bring some wine! Ge Laozi has so many mountains in Fujian that the horse is exhausted."

Wan'er bowed her head and walked to the table for the two of them, and asked in a low voice, "What wine do you want?" Although her voice was low, it was clear and pleasant.The young man was stunned, and suddenly stretched out his right hand to hold Wan'er's chin, and said with a smile, "What a pity, what a pity!" Wan'er was startled, and hurriedly backed away.Another man said with a smile: "Brother Yu, this girl's figure is just what she wants. She has a face, but she's stepping in the mud with spiked shoes and flipping the pomegranate skin. Ge Laozi is such a hemp skin." laugh.

Lin Pingzhi rushed upwards, stretched out his right hand and slapped the table heavily, and said, "What! Two blind bastards came to our Fuzhou mansion to play wild!"

The young man surnamed Yu said with a smile: "Jia Laoer, who is scolding, who do you think this rabbit master is scolding?" Lin Pingzhi looks like his mother, with delicate features and very handsome. If he winked and glanced at him, he would definitely be slapped in the face. Hearing this man call him "Master Rabbit", how can he bear it?Lifting a tin wine jug on the table, he threw it over with his head in his pocket.The man surnamed Yu dodged, and the tin wine jug fell on the grass outside the hotel door, splashing the wine all over the floor.Biaotou Shi and Biaotou Zheng stood up and rushed to the side of those two.

The surname Yu said with a smile: "This kid went to the stage to sing Huadan, he really seduces people, and he won't do it if he wants to fight!" Chief Zheng shouted: "This is Chief Lin Shao of the Fuwei Escort Bureau, you are so brave, come here Breaking ground on Tai Sui's head?" Just as the word "earth" came out, a fist with his left hand was already punching him in the face.The man surnamed Yu turned his left hand upwards, caught on Zheng's pulse gate, pulled back, Zheng's body couldn't stand still, and rushed towards the board table.The man surnamed Yu slammed down his left elbow hard, hitting the back of Zheng Biao's head.With a click, Escort Zheng knocked down the board table, and fell down with the table.

Although Escort Zheng is not considered a good hand in the Fuwei Escort, he is not a pussy character either. When Escort Shi saw that he was knocked down by this man with one move, it shows that the other party has a lot of background, and asked: "My lord Who is the driver? Since you are a fellow martial artist, don't you think Fuwei Escort Bureau is in your eyes?"

The man surnamed Yu sneered: "Fuwei Escort Bureau? I've never heard of it! What's that for?"

Lin Pingzhi jumped up and shouted: "Specially for beating puppies!" His left palm was struck out, and before the technique matured, the right palm came out from under the left palm. "The Universe in the Clouds".The surname Yu said: "Little Huadan still has a few tricks." With a wave of his palm, he grabbed Lin Pingzhi's shoulder with his right hand.Lin Pingzhi's right shoulder sank slightly, and he punched out with his left hand.The surnamed Yu turned his head to avoid it, but unexpectedly Lin Pingzhi opened his left fist suddenly, the fist turned into a palm, the direct blow turned into a sweep, and he slapped him with a stance of "Looking at flowers in the fog".Yu was furious and kicked Lin Pingzhi with his feet.Lin Pingzhi rushed to the right and kicked out.

At this moment, Biaotou Shi had already started fighting with that surnamed Jia, and Bai Er helped Biaotou Zheng up.Chief Zheng yelled curses, stepped forward to flank the Yu.Lin Pingzhi said: "Help Escort Shi, I can take care of this dog thief." Escort Zheng knew that he was going to be strong and aggressive, and he didn't want others to help him, so he picked up a broken leg from a wooden table on the ground, and threw it on the head of Jia Call to go.

Two riders ran to the door, one took Lin Pingzhi's long sword from the saddle, the other lifted a hunting fork, pointed at Yu and cursed at him.The troopers in the escort agency are mediocre in martial arts, but they are used to calling the escort number, and all of them have a loud voice.The two of them were cursing in Fuzhou dialect, and the two Sichuanese didn't understand a word, but they knew it would not be good.

Lin Pingzhi used the "Tiantian Palm" handed down by his father one by one, and after fighting for more than ten moves, his arrogance gradually weakened, and he realized that the opponent's hands were really tough.The man disassembled it with his hands, but still said nonsense: "Little brother, the more I look at you, the less manly you are, you must be a big girl in disguise. Your face is red and white, give me a face, Let's stop fighting, Mr. Ge, okay?"

Lin Pingzhi became more and more angry, when he squinted at Shi and Zheng, the two bodyguards, he saw that they were fighting with each other, and the one surnamed Jia was still the loser.Escort Zheng was punched hard on the nose, his nose bleeds, and his clothes were covered in blood.Lin Pingzhi slapped out faster, and suddenly there was a slap, and he slapped that surnamed Yu again, this time the slap was very heavy, the surnamed Yu was furious, and shouted: "You son of a bitch who doesn't know good and bad, I look at you!" She was born like a big girl, teasing and playing with you, but the tortoise son really hits me!" The boxing style changed, and suddenly the blows were straight up and down like a violent storm.The two fought all the way to the outside of the hotel.

Lin Pingzhi saw the opponent's punch straight into the palace, remembered the "Xie" tactic passed down by his father, and immediately stretched out his left hand to block the boxing, and released his punch. Without taking it off, he punched it right in the chest.Lin Pingzhi swayed, the neckline was already grasped by his left hand.The man's arm sank, he bent Lin Pingzhi's upper body down, and followed his right arm to make an "iron threshold" across the back of his neck. He laughed wildly and said, "Turtle son, you kowtow three times and call me three times." Good Uncle, I will let you go!"

Shi Zheng's two escorts were shocked, they wanted to abandon their opponents and rush to rescue them, but the Jia surnamed fisted and kicked them all, not allowing the two of them to go away.Bai Er raised the hunting fork and poked at Yu's back, shouting, "You still don't let go? How many brains do you have..." Yu's left foot kicked back, kicking the hunting fork violently After a few feet, he kicked back with his right foot in a row, kicking Bai Er until he rolled seven or eight times, unable to get up for a long time.Chen Qi yelled: "Turtle bastard, fucking bastard, your grandma has no eyeballs!" After cursing, he took a step back, and after cursing eight or nine words in a row, he took eight or nine steps back.

The surnamed Yu said with a smile: "Miss, do you want to kowtow to the head?" He strengthened his arms and pressed Lin Pingzhi's head straight down, the lower the pressure, the forehead almost touched the ground.Lin Pingzhi punched him with his backhand and hit his lower abdomen, but he still missed by several inches, he couldn't hit him, he only felt a sharp pain in his neck bone, as if he was about to break, gold stars shot out in front of his eyes, and there was a loud buzzing sound in his ears.He scratched and beat with both hands, and suddenly came across a hard object on his calf, in a hurry, without thinking, he pulled it out, and pushed it forward with all his strength, and inserted it into the lower abdomen of the man surnamed Yu.

The man surnamed Yu yelled, let go of his hands, and took two steps back, with a look of extreme terror on his face, he saw that there was an extra dagger on his lower abdomen, reaching to the handle.His face was toward the west, and the setting sun glistened on the golden hilt of the dagger.He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak. He reached out to pull out the dagger, but he didn't dare.

Lin Pingzhi was also so frightened that his heart seemed to jump out of his mouth, and he took a few steps back.The man surnamed Jia and the second bodyguard Shi Zheng stopped fighting, and looked at the man surnamed Yu in astonishment.

He swayed a few times, grabbed the handle of the dagger with his right hand, and pulled it out forcefully, the dagger left his abdomen, blood spurted out several feet away, and several onlookers exclaimed loudly.The man surnamed Yu shouted: "Jia...Jia...Tell Daddy...Give...Give me..." He swung his right hand back and threw the dagger.The one surnamed Jia shouted: "Brother Yu, brother Yu!" He hurried over.The surname Yu fell to the ground, his body twitched a few times, and then he didn't move.

Biaotou Shi said in a low voice: "Copy guy!" He ran to the horse and took the weapon in his hand.He has a wealth of experience in the world, and seeing that someone was killed, the person surnamed Jia must do his best.

The man surnamed Jia stared at Lin Pingzhi for a while, grabbed the dagger, ran to the side of the horse, jumped on the horse's back, and before he could untie the rein, he cut the rein with a wave of the dagger, pinched his legs, and galloped the horse northward. and go.

Chen Qi went over and kicked the corpse surnamed Yu, kicking the corpse upside down, seeing the blood from the wound bubbling unceasingly, he said: "You offend our young escort, you are not alive!" Impatient? That's what you deserve!"

Lin Pingzhi had never killed anyone before. At this moment, his face was completely pale with fright, and he said in a trembling voice, "Shi... Biaotou Shi, what... what should I do? I... didn't want to kill him at first."

Shi Biaotou thought to himself: "For three generations of Fuwei Escort Bureau, it is inevitable to fight and kill people in the Jianghu, but none of them killed is not a mafia figure, and this kind of murder must be in a place with high mountains and dense forests. After killing someone, bury it on the spot, and that’s it. The robbers who robbed the bodyguards would report to the government about Fuwei Bodyguard Bureau? But this time, the people killed were obviously not thieves, and it was close to the outskirts of the city. Human lives are at stake, let alone It's the head of the escort bureau, even if the governor and the son of the inspector kill someone, it can't be done easily." He frowned and said, "Let's move the corpse to the hotel, it's near the main road, don't let anyone see it." Fortunately, it was getting late at that time, and there was no one else on the road.Bai Er and Chen Qi carried the body into the shop.Shi Biaotou said in a low voice: "Young Biaotou, do you have any silver with you?" Lin Pingzhi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes!" He took out all the twenty taels of silver that he was carrying in his arms.

Escort Shi reached out to take it, walked into the hotel, put it on the table, and said to Old Man Sa: "Old man Sa, this outsider flirted with your girl, my young Escort did his best to help him, so he had no choice but to kill him. Everyone has seen it with their own eyes. This matter started from you, and if it breaks out, no one can get away with it. You use the money first, and everyone buries the body first, and then slowly try to cover it up." Sa The old man said: "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Zheng Escort said: "Our Fuwei Escort Bureau is out to go out and kill a few green forest thieves. Most of the flower-picking thief came to Fuzhou to commit crimes. Our young bodyguard was bright enough to take care of this big thief. He kept Fuzhou Prefecture safe. He could have gone to the government to receive the reward, but the young bodyguard was afraid of trouble. Don’t try to make a name for yourself. Old man, you should keep your mouth tighter. If you let it out, we’ll say that you seduced these two thieves. It’s fake for you to run a hotel, and it’s true for you to be an eyeliner. Listen to your accent, They don't look like locals at all. Otherwise, why didn't these two come late or early, and you came as soon as you opened the hotel. Is there such a clever way of doing things in the world?" Old man Sa agreed repeatedly.

Biaotou Shi took Bai Er and Chen Qi to bury the corpses in the vegetable garden behind the hotel, and then used a hoe to clean up the blood stains in front of the shop, covering them under the soil.Escort Zheng said to old man Sa: "Within ten days, if we don't hear any news, we will give you another 50 taels of silver to make a coffin book for you. If you are talking nonsense, hehe, the thief killed by Fuwei Escort If you don’t have one thousand, there are eight hundred, and killing you, the old and the young, is nothing more than adding two more dead bodies to the bottom of your vegetable garden.”

Old man Sa said: "Thank you, thank you! Don't dare to say, dare not say!"

By the time everything was done, it was already dark.Lin Ping's heart was slightly relieved, and he returned to the escort agency anxiously.As soon as he entered the hall, he saw his father sitting in the grand teacher's chair, closing his eyes and meditating. Lin Pingzhi looked uncertain and called out: "Father!"

Lin Zhennan looked very happy, and asked: "Go hunting? Did you catch any wild boar?" Lin Pingzhi said: "No." Lin Zhennan raised his cigarette pouch, suddenly hit him on the shoulder, and laughed: "Fight again! "Lin Pingzhi knew that his father often tested his kung fu by surprise, if on weekdays, he saw him use the six moves of "Evil Resisting Swordsmanship" No. "Flowers bloom to see the Buddha", but at the moment he was in a state of anxiety, he only thought that his father had known about the murder in the small tavern, so he beat him with a cigarette pipe, but he didn't dare to avoid it, and shouted: "Father!"

Lin Zhennan's cigarette pipe was about to hit his son's shoulder, and he couldn't move three inches away from his clothes. He asked, "What's the matter? If you encounter a strong enemy in the rivers and lakes, you are so slow in responding. Your shoulder is still so slow." Are you there?" Although there was reproach in the words, there was still a smile on his face.

Lin Pingzhi said: "Yes!" His left shoulder sank, he turned around and went around behind his father, grabbed the feather duster on the coffee table, and stabbed at his father's vest, exactly the trick of "seeing the Buddha when flowers bloom".

Lin Zhennan nodded with a smile and said, "That's it." With his backhand, he blocked the pipe with his backhand, and returned the trick of "playing the flute on the river".Lin Pingzhi cheered up and dismantled it with a move of "Purple Qi Comes East".After the father and son had performed more than fifty strokes, Lin Zhennan took out the cigarette pouch and lightly tapped it under his son's left breast. Lin Pingzhi couldn't resist, he felt his right arm sore, and the feather broom dropped to the ground.

Lin Zhennan smiled and said: "Very good, very good, I have improved every day in the past month, and today I have added four tricks!" Turning around, he sat in the chair, put shredded tobacco in the cigarette pouch, and said, "Pinger, I want you to know that our Escort Bureau got a good news today." Lin Pingzhi took out a knives and flints, lit a paper medium for his father, and said, "Father received another big deal?" Lin Zhennan shook his head and laughed: "As long as our security agency has a strong foundation, are we afraid that big business won't come to our door? What we're afraid of is that big business will come to the door, and we won't be able to accept it." He took a long puff of cigarette and said, "Just now, the security guard delivered the big business from Hunan. The letter came, saying that Master Songfeng Guanyu of Qingcheng School in western Sichuan has accepted the gift from us."

When Lin Pingzhi heard the words "Chuanxi" and "Yu Guanzhu", his heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Are you accepting our gift?"

Lin Zhennan said: "I never tell you much about the escort agency, and you don't understand. But you are getting older, and the heavy burden carried by your father will eventually be shifted to your shoulders, and there will be more in the future." Pay attention to some matters in the bureau. Son, we have three generations of darts. Firstly, relying on the prestige of your great-grandfather, and secondly, relying on our family's stuff that is not vague, we have today's situation. The leading bodyguard agency in the south of the river. When the word "Fuwei Bodyguard Agency" is mentioned in the Jianghu, everyone will raise their thumbs and say: "Good luck! So majestic!" , Kung Fu accounts for [-]% of the time, and the remaining [-]% depends on friends who are both black and white. Think about it, if the escort cars of the Fuwei Escort Bureau travel ten provinces, if they have to fight with others every time, how can they fight? There are so many lives to fight? Even if you win every battle, as the saying goes: "If you kill one thousand enemies, you will injure yourself eight hundred." So, what do we have left in our family? So, for us to eat darts, the first thing we need to do is to be well-known and have a wide hand. The word 'friendship' is more important than real kung fu. .”

Lin Pingzhi replied: "Yes!" If in the past, he would have been very excited when he heard his father say that the burden of the escort agency would finally be transferred to his shoulders, he would have talked endlessly with his father, but now his heart feels like fifteen buckets fetching water, seven Eight strokes, only thinking of the words "Chuanxi" and "Yu Guanzhu".

Lin Zhennan took another puff of smoke and said, "Your father's martial arts skills are certainly not as good as your great-grandfather's, and may not be as good as your grandfather's, but the ability to run an escort agency can be said to be stronger than your grandfather's." From Fujian to Guangdong in the south, and Zhejiang and Jiangsu in the north, the foundations of these four provinces were created by your great-grandfather. The world of Shandong, Hebei, Lianghu, Jiangxi and Guangxi was created by your father What's the secret? To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than the eight characters of "making more friends and making fewer enemies". Prestige is important. Fortune comes from the eight characters 'make more friends and less enemies', if it is changed to 'Weifu', then it will become domineering. Haha, haha!"

Lin Pingzhi laughed a few times with his father, but there was no sense of joy in the laughter.

Lin Zhennan didn't notice his son's uneasiness, and said again: "The ancients said: Once you have Long, you look back at Shu. Your father has already acquired Hubei, and you look back at Shu. Let's go all the way from Fujian to the west, from Jiangxi, Hunan, to Hubei, Then we will stop, but why not go back to the west of the river, and then to Sichuan? Sichuan is a land of abundance, and it is very rich. We have traveled through Sichuan, going north to Shaanxi, and going south to Yunnan and Guizhou, so we can get more business Do [-]%. It’s just that Sichuan Province is the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there are quite a lot of high-level people. If the escort cars of Fuwei Escort Bureau go to Sichuan, they have to deal with Qingcheng and Emei factions. I started three years ago, every year During the Spring and Autumn Festival, they always prepared rich gifts and sent people to Songfeng Temple of Qingcheng School and Jinding Temple of Emei School, but the leaders of these two schools never accepted them. Ken met the bodyguard I sent, thanked him a few words, had a vegetarian meal, and then returned the gift intact. Master Yu Guan of Songfeng Temple, you are amazing, our gift-giving bodyguard He only went up to the middle of the mountain, and he was blocked by the driver, saying that Guanzhu Yu sat behind closed doors and saw no outsiders, everything in the temple was ready, and no gifts were accepted. Let alone Guanzhu Yu, our escorts even The gate of Songfeng Temple faces south and north, so I can’t tell. Every time the escort sent to give gifts always came back angrily, saying that if I hadn’t strictly instructed, no matter how rude the other party was, we must be respectful. Stomach stuffy, not a mother, scolding any nasty words? I’m afraid I’ve fought several times already.”

Speaking of this, he was very proud, stood up, and said: "Who would have thought that Guanzhu Yu actually accepted our gift this time, and even said that he sent four disciples to Fujian to pay homage..." Lin Pingzhi said: " Is it four? Not two?" Lin Zhennan said: "Yes, four disciples! Do you think that for such a grand event as Guanzhu Yu, the Fuwei Escort Bureau is not very radiant? Just now I sent a fast horse to go there Inform the branches in Jiangxi, Hunan, and Hubei to treat these four distinguished guests of the Qingcheng faction well."

Lin Pingzhi suddenly asked: "Father, do people from Sichuan always call others 'turtle son' and call themselves 'Lao Tzu'?" Lin Zhennan laughed and said: "Sichuan rough people talk like that. Are there any rough people in the world? These people Naturally, the mouth is not clean. Listen to what we said when the players gambled in our bureau. Why do you ask this question?" Lin Pingzhi said: "It's nothing." Lin Zhennan said: " When those four Qingcheng disciples came here, you should get close to them, learn the demeanor of famous disciples, and make these four friends, it will be of great benefit in the future."

The father and son talked for a while, but Lin Pingzhi still couldn't make up his mind whether to tell his father about the murder, and finally decided to tell his mother first, and then tell his father.

After dinner, the three members of Lin Zhennan's family chatted in the back hall. Lin Zhennan discussed with his wife that his brother-in-law's birthday was in early June, and it was time to send some gifts, but it was not easy to make Luoyang Jindao Wang's family look good. try to find.

Speaking of this, I suddenly heard the noise of people outside the hall, followed by a few people rushing in.Lin Zhennan frowned, and said, "There are no rules!" Three troopers rushed in, and the leader said angrily, "Boss... Chief escort..." Lin Zhennan shouted, "What's the fuss?" The traveler Chen Qidao: "Bai...Bai Er is dead." Lin Zhennan was taken aback, and asked: "Who killed it? You bet money to fight, don't you?" He was very annoyed: "These are in the rivers and lakes. A man who is used to it is really hard to control, he will draw a knife and draw his fist at every turn, here in the prefectural city, if there is a life, it will be a big trouble."

Chen Qidao: "No, no. Just now when Xiao Li went to the latrine, he saw Bai Er lying in the vegetable garden next to the latrine. There was no wound on his body, but his whole body was cold. I don't know how he died. I'm afraid something happened. Sudden illness." Lin Zhennan exhaled, his heart suddenly eased, and he said, "I'll go and have a look." Immediately, he walked towards the vegetable garden.Lin Pingzhi followed behind.

In the vegetable garden, there were only seven or eight bodyguards and troopers forming a group.When everyone saw the Chief Escort coming, they all stepped aside.Looking at Bai Er's body, Lin Zhennan saw that his clothes had been untied and there was no blood on his body, so he asked Zhu Biaotou, who was standing next to him, "No wounds?" There are no scars, and it doesn’t look like he was poisoned.” Lin Zhennan nodded and said, “Inform Mr. Dong, the accountant, to take care of the funeral for Bai Er and send 100 taels of silver to Bai Er’s family.”

A traveler died of illness, Lin Zhennan didn't take it seriously, turned back to the hall, and asked his son: "Did Bai Er not go hunting with you today?" It's all right, but I suddenly fell ill for some reason." Lin Zhennan said: "Well, good and bad things in the world often happen suddenly. I always want to open up the road in Sichuan, and I'm afraid it will take ten years of work. Guanzhu Yu had a sudden whim, accepted my gift and sent four disciples to pay homage back and forth."

Lin Pingzhi said: "Father, although the Qingcheng faction is a famous sect in the martial arts, the prestige of the Fuwei Escort Bureau and Daddy are not weak in the Jianghu. We go to Sichuan every year to give gifts, and Yu Guanzhu sends people to us Here, that's just reciprocity."

Lin Zhennan laughed and said: "What do you know? The Qingcheng and Emei sects in Sichuan Province have been established for hundreds of years, and there are so many talents under them. They are really remarkable. Sword sects are already on par. Your great-grandfather, Yuan Tugong created the 72 ways of evil swordsmanship. Back then, he was so powerful that he was truly invincible all over the world. But when it was passed on to your grandfather, his reputation is not as good as that of Yuan Tugong. I'm afraid your father is a bit worse. The three generations of our Lin family are all single-line heirs, and we don't even have a senior brother. Our father and son are not as powerful as other families."

Lin Pingzhi said: "With all the heroes in our ten provincial bodyguard bureaus gathered together, can we still be no match for the Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Qingcheng and Wuyue sword sects?"

Lin Zhennan smiled and said: "Son, it's okay if you tell Daddy what you said. If you say it outside and it gets into the ears of others, you will get into trouble immediately. We have ten escort bureaus, 84 escort leaders each have their own If you get together, you won't lose to others. But what's the benefit of defeating others? As the saying goes, harmony makes money, and we eat darts for food, so we have to let others step up. I'm short , Let others go to show off the roost and show off our strength, we can't do without anything."

Suddenly someone exclaimed: "Ah, Escort Zheng died again!"

Lin Zhennan and his son were shocked at the same time.Lin Pingzhi jumped up from his chair and said in a trembling voice: "They are here to avenge..." The word "revenge" did not come out of his mouth, but he shrank back.At that time, Lin Zhennan had already arrived at the entrance of the hall, he didn't pay attention to his son's words, and saw Chen Qi rushing in angrily, shouting: "Boss... Chief Escort, it's not good! Escort Zheng... Escort Zheng is coming again!" I'm going to ask for my life for that evil Sichuan ghost." Lin Zhennan's face sank, and he shouted, "What Sichuan evil ghost is talking nonsense."

Chen Qidao: "Yes, yes! That Sichuan evil ghost... This Sichuan son is already so fierce and domineering in life, and naturally he is even more powerful when he is dead..." He did not dare to say anything more when he met the stern look that was glaring at the head of the security guard. He looked at Lin Pingzhi with a look of pity and fear on his face.Lin Zhennan said: "You said that Chief Zheng is dead? Where is the body? How did he die?"

At this time, several bodyguards and trippers rushed into the hall.A bodyguard frowned and said: "Brother Zheng died in the stable, he was exactly like Bai Er, there was no scar on his body, there was no bleeding from the seven holes, and there was no bruise or swelling on his face, could it be... Could it be that he went out with the young guard just now?" Hunting, I really bumped into an evil, rushed... bumped into some evil spirit."

Lin Zhennan snorted, and said: "I've been wandering in the rivers and lakes all my life, but I've never seen anything ghostly. Let's take a look." He walked out of the hall and walked towards the stables.Escort Zheng was lying on the ground, holding a saddle with both hands, it was obvious that he was unloading the saddle, he suddenly fell to death, there was no sign of fighting with anyone.

At this time, it was already dark, and Lin Zhennan taught someone to hold up a lantern to shine on him. He personally untied Zheng's bodyguard's clothes and carefully inspected him from front to back. He even squeezed his bones. Not a single one was broken.Lin Zhennan never believed in ghosts and gods, and Bai Er suddenly died suddenly, that's fine, but Zheng Escort died in exactly the same way, there is something strange about it, if it was a plague like the Black Death, why would there be no black spots and red spots all over his body?Thinking that this matter might have something to do with what his son encountered on his hunting trip today, he turned around and asked Lin Pingzhi: "Apart from Zheng Biaotou and Bai Er, who are going hunting with you today, are Shi Biaotou and him?" Seven one finger.Lin Pingzhi nodded, and Lin Zhennan said: "You two come with me." He ordered a passer-by: "Please come to the East Wing to talk to Escort Shi."

When the three of them arrived at the east wing, Lin Zhennan asked his son, "What's going on?"

Lin Pingzhi immediately planned how to drink in a small tavern after hunting; Panicked and annoyed, he pulled out the dagger in his boot and killed the man; how did he bury him in the vegetable garden and gave him silver, and ordered the old wine seller not to leak the news, and told the truth one by one.

The more Lin Zhennan listened to it, the more he knew that something was wrong, but fighting with someone and killing a foreigner was not a big deal.He listened to his son's words calmly, and pondered: "These two guys didn't say that they belonged to that sect or gang?" Lin Pingzhi said: "No!" Lin Zhennan asked: "In their words and deeds, What's so special about it?" Lin Pingzhi said: "I don't see anything weird, that man surnamed Yu..." Before finishing his sentence, Lin Zhennan asked, "The man you killed was surnamed Yu?" Lin Pingzhi Said: "Yes! I heard the other person call him Brother Yu, but I don't know if it is Weiyu or Zeyu. I can't hear the foreign accent." Lin Zhennan shook his head and said to himself: "No It's not such a coincidence. Yu Guanzhu said that he wanted to send someone, so he arrived in Fuzhou so quickly, it's not because he has wings."

Lin Pingzhi was stunned and asked: "Father, do you think these two people will be from the Qingcheng faction?" Lin Zhennan didn't answer, but stretched out his hand and asked, "You hit him with the 'Tiantian Zhang' style, how can he dismantle it?" Solution?" Lin Pingzhi said: "He couldn't take it apart, so he slapped me hard." Lin Zhennan smiled, and said, "Very good! Very good! Very good!" There was a sense of awe and panic in the wing room. Lin Zhennan smiled like this, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but also smiled, and was immediately relieved.

Lin Zhennan asked again: "If you hit him in this way, how will he fight back?" He still said while making gestures.Lin Pingzhi said: "At that time, the boy was so angry that he can't remember clearly, it seems that he punched him in the chest again." Lin Zhennan's expression became more harmonious, and he said: "Okay, this move should be done like this! He can't even dismantle this move, and he will definitely not be the nephew of Master Songfeng Guanyu of Qingcheng School who is famous all over the world." He repeatedly said "very good", not because he praised his son's good fists and kicks, but I am very relieved, there are many people surnamed Yu in Sichuan Province, this man surnamed Yu was killed by his son, his martial arts is naturally not high, and he has absolutely nothing to do with the Qingcheng faction.He stretched out the middle finger of his right hand, tapped on the table continuously, and asked: "Why did he grab your head?" Lin Pingzhi stretched out his hand to gesture, Zensheng was caught by him and couldn't move.

Chen Qi became more courageous, and interjected: "Bai Er hit that guy with the steel fork, kicked him backside of the steel fork, and kicked him somersault again." Lin Zhennan's heart was shaken, and he asked: "Did he turn the backside of the fork?" Bai Er kicked him down, and then kicked the steel fork in his hand? Then... that's how he kicked?" Chen Qidao: "It seems like this." Holding the back of the chair with both hands, he kicked with his right foot backwards, body With one jump, the left foot kicked backwards.These two kicks were in poor posture, like a horse kicking someone backwards.

Seeing his ugly kick, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help laughing, and said: "Father, look..." Seeing the frightened look on his father's face, he stopped talking.Lin Zhennan said: "These two counter kicks are a bit like the Qingcheng School's special skill 'Shadowless Phantom Leg', boy, how did he kick these two legs?" Lin Pingzhi said: "At that time I was caught by him. Turn your head, and you can't see him kicking back."

Lin Zhennan said: "That's right, you have to ask Shi Biaotou." Walking out of the room, he called out: "Come here! Where's Shi Biaotou? Why hasn't he been seen for a long time after inviting him?" He rushed over and said that he couldn't find Shi Biaotou everywhere.

Lin Zhennan paced back and forth in the flower hall, thinking to himself: "If these two back kicks are really 'shadowless phantom legs', then even if this man is not Yu Guanzhu's nephew, he has some relationship with the Qingcheng faction. Who is it? You have to go and see for yourself." He said, "Cui and Ji are invited to come!"

Cui and Ji, the two bodyguards, have always handled things safely, are mature and prudent, and are Lin Zhennan's confidantes.Seeing the sudden death of Zheng Biaotou and the disappearance of Shi Biaotou, the two of them had been waiting outside the hall, waiting for orders. When they heard what Lin Zhennan said, they immediately walked into the hall.

Lin Zhennan said: "Let's go to do something. Cui Ji, Hai'er and Chen Qi come with me."

The five rode out of the city and headed north.Lin Pingzhi led the way with his horse.

Not long after, Wu Chengma came to the small hotel and saw that the door of the shop was closed.Lin Pingshang knocked on the door and shouted: "Old man Sa, old man Sa, open the door." After knocking for a while, there was no sound in the store.Escort Cui looked at Lin Zhennan and made a gesture of knocking on the door with both hands.Lin Zhennan nodded, Cui Biaotou clapped his palms, and with a click, the latch broke, and the two door panels opened backwards, then closed themselves again, and opened backwards again, shaking back and forth like this, making creaking noises.

As soon as Cui Biao opened the door, he pulled Lin Pingzhi aside, seeing that there was no movement in the room, he turned on the fire, went into the room, lit the oil lamp on the table, and lit two more lanterns.A few people walked around inside and out, but no one was seen, and the bedding, cages and other sundries in the house were not removed.

Lin Zhennan nodded and said: "The old man is afraid. People were killed here, and the corpses were buried in his vegetable garden. He was afraid of being implicated, so he just left." Walking into the vegetable garden, he pointed to a hoe leaning against the wall. , Said: "Chen Qi, dig out the dead body and have a look." Chen Qizao believed that it was the evil spirits who caused the trouble, so he only hoeed twice, his hands and feet were so weak that he wanted to be paralyzed on the ground.

Ji Biaotou said: "Is there a use for a fart? It's a pity that you eat darts for a living!" He took the hoe with one hand, handed the lantern in his hand, raised the hoe to scrape away the dirt, and after a short while, the clothes on the dead body were exposed , Picked up a few more times, put the hoe under the corpse, picked it hard, and picked up the dead corpse.Chen Qi turned his head, not daring to watch, but the four people exclaimed in unison, Chen Qi was startled, and dropped the lantern by mistake, the candle went out, and the vegetable garden was completely dark.

Lin Pingzhi said in a trembling voice: "We obviously buried the Sichuanese, why...how..." Lin Zhennan said: "Hurry up the lantern!" He was always calm, but now there was panic in his voice.Cui Biaotou shook the fire and lit the lantern, Lin Zhennan bent down to inspect the dead body, and after a while, said: "There is no wound on the body, the way of death is exactly the same." Chen Qi mustered up his courage, glanced at the dead body, and screamed loudly : "Shi Biaotou, Shi Biaotou!"

What was dug out of the ground was actually the body of Biaotou Shi, but the body of the Sichuan man was nowhere to be found.

Lin Zhennan said: "This old man surnamed Sa must be weird." He snatched the lantern, ran into the house to check, from the wine jar under the stove, the iron wok, to the tables and chairs in the living room, he checked carefully, but found no one. different.Cui Ji's second bodyguard and Lin Pingzhi also checked separately.Suddenly Lin Pingzhi shouted: "Hey! Daddy, come and see."

Lin Zhennan followed the sound and saw his son standing in the girl's room, holding a green handkerchief in his hand.Lin Pingzhi said: "Father, how can a girl from a poor family have such a thing?" Lin Zhennan took his hand, and a faint fragrance immediately entered his nose. Waiting for the silk satin, I took a closer look, and saw that the edge of the veil was surrounded by three sides with green silk thread, and a small red coral branch was embroidered on one corner, the embroidery was very delicate.

Lin Zhennan asked: "Where did you find this handkerchief?" Lin Pingzhi said: "It fell in a corner under the bed, most likely they left in a hurry and didn't notice it when they were packing up." Lin Zhennan leaned over to the bed again with the lantern in his hand. According to the bottom, but nothing else was seen, he pondered: "You said that the girl who sells wine is very ugly, and the material of the clothes is not luxurious, but isn't it very neat?" Lin Pingzhi said: "I didn't pay attention at the time, but It doesn't have to be filthy, if it's filthy, I'll definitely feel it when she comes to pour the wine."

Lin Zhennan said to Escort Cui: "Old Cui, what do you think?" Escort Cui said: "I think the deaths of Escort Shi, Escort Zheng, and Bai Er must be related to the old, the young, and the old. Maybe it's their murderous hands." Ji Biaotou said: "Those two Sichuanese are probably with them, otherwise why would they move his body away?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "The guy surnamed Yu is obviously using his hands and feet to bully that girl, otherwise I wouldn't scold him, and they wouldn't be together." Cui Biaotou said: "Young Brigade doesn't know something. People are sinister, and they often set up traps for others to exploit. Two people pretend to fight, and a third person comes to persuade them to fight, and those two who are fighting suddenly join forces to deal with the person who persuaded the fight, that is common." Ji Ji said: "Chief Escort, what do you think?" Lin Zhennan said, "The old wine seller and that girl must be coming after us, but I don't know if they are with those two Sichuan men." Lin Pingzhi said: " Daddy, you said that Master Songfeng Guanyu sent four people, they... Aren't they four people together?"

This word reminded Lin Zhennan, he was stunned for a moment, and pondered: "The Fuwei Escort Bureau is very polite to the Qingcheng faction, and has never offended them. Yu Guanzhu sent someone to find me bad luck, so why?"

The four of you looked at me and I looked at you, and were speechless for a long time.After a long time, Lin Zhennan said: "Move Shi Biaotou's body to the house first. After this matter is returned to the bureau, no one should mention it, so as not to alarm the government and cause more trouble. Hmph, Lin is polite to others. I don’t want to offend my friends, but I’m not a coward who refuses to fight back.” Ji Escort said loudly: “The Chief Escort raises soldiers for thousands of days and uses them in one dynasty. Everyone strives forward, so we can’t damage the strength of our Escort Bureau Prestige." Lin Zhennan nodded and said, "Yes! Thank you very much!"

The five of them rode back to the city and were about to arrive at the bodyguard office. They saw the torches shining outside the gate from a distance, and many people gathered.Lin Zhennan's heart skipped a beat, and he urged his horse forward.Several people said: "The head of the bodyguard is back!" Lin Zhennan jumped off his horse, only to see his wife, Mrs. Lin, with a livid face, and said: "Look! Hmph, they are so bullying."

I saw two sections of flagpoles and two pennants lying horizontally on the ground, which were the big flags in front of the Escort Bureau. Half of the flagpoles were connected, and they were knocked down to the ground.The section of the flagpole is very flat, it is obvious that it was cut off with a sharp sword.

Mrs. Lin didn't have a weapon by her side, so she pulled out a long sword from her husband's waist, and with two hissing sounds, she cut off the two pennants along the flagpole, twisted them into a ball, and carried them through the gate.Lin Zhennan ordered: "Head Cui, cut off these two halves of the flagpole! Hmph, it's not so easy to choose Fuwei Escort!" Cui said: "Yes!" Ji Biao scolded: " Damn it, the dog thieves just don't know what to do, and when the head of the bodyguard is not at home, he sneaks up to do this kind of dirty business!" Lin Zhennan waved to his son, and the two went back to the station, while the head of the bodyguard Ji was at ease." Dog robber, stinking bastard" rant.

The father and son came to the East Wing and saw that Mrs. Lin had spread two silk banners on two tables. The eyes of the yellow lion embroidered on one banner had been gouged out, revealing two holes. Among the four characters "Fuwei Escort Bureau", the word "Wei" has also been cut out.No matter how good his self-cultivation was, Lin Zhennan couldn't bear it any longer. With a snap, he stretched out his hand and slapped the table hard. With a click, one leg of the rosewood Eight Immortals table broke.

Lin Pingzhi tremblingly said: "Father, it's...it's all my fault that caused such a big disaster!" Lin Zhennan said loudly: "If our surname Lin kills someone, so what? If this kind of person falls into your father's hands, he will usually be killed." Mrs. Lin asked: "Who did you kill?" Lin Zhennan said: "Ping'er, let your mother know."

Lin Ping explained how he killed the Sichuan man during the day, how Shi Biaotou died in that small hotel, and so on.Mrs. Lin already knew about the sudden death of Bai Er and Escort Zheng, and when she heard that Escort Shi had died in a strange way, Madam Lin was not surprised but became angry, and said, "Brother, how can the Fuwei Escort Bureau let people treat you like this?" Door-to-door bullying? Let’s invite people to go to Sichuan to discuss this matter with the Qingcheng faction. Even my father, my brother, and my brother have been invited.” Mrs. Lin had a violent temper since she was a child. She draws a knife and wounds people at every turn. She is very skilled in Luoyang Jindaomen, and everyone looks at her father Wang Yuanba who is invincible in Jindao.Now that her son is so old, her fiery temper is still undiminished.

Lin Zhennan said: "I'm not sure who the enemy is right now. It may not be the Qingcheng faction. I don't think they will just cut down two flagpoles, kill two bodyguards, and leave it at that..." Mrs. Lin interjected. "What are they going to do?" Lin Zhennan glanced at his son, Mrs. Lin understood her husband's intentions, her heart was pounding, and her face immediately changed color.

Lin Pingzhi said: "This thing was done by my son, a man is doing everything by himself, and my son...is not afraid." He said that he was not afraid, but in fact he had to be afraid, his voice trembled, revealing the fear in his heart Feelings.

Mrs. Lin said: "Hmph, if they want to touch you, they have to kill your mother first. Lin Jiafu Wei Escort has set up a dart flag for three generations, but it has never lost the slightest prestige." Turning to Lin Zhennan, "If we can't get out of this tone, we don't need to be human anymore." Lin Zhennan nodded, and said, "I'll send people to check everywhere in and outside the city to see if there are any tricks in the rivers and lakes, and then send more people , patrol inside and outside the bodyguard bureau. You accompany Ping’er to wait for me here, don’t let him go out and wander around.” Madam Lin said: “Yes, I understand.” The couple knew that the enemy would attack him next time. When the son strikes, the enemy is dark and we are clear. Lin Pingzhi only needs to step out of the Fuwei Escort, and he will be killed immediately.

Lin Zhennan came to the hall, invited bodyguards and assigned them to investigate and patrol.All the bodyguards have already heard the news that the flagpole of the Fuwei Bodyguard Agency was cut down by someone, that was a slap in the face for everyone, everyone is fighting against each other, and they have already finished their outfits, carrying weapons, and as soon as the chief bodyguard ordered them to That's it.

Lin Zhennan saw that everyone in the situation was working together to fight against the enemy, he felt a little relieved, went back into the inner hall, and said to his son: "Ping'er, your mother has not been feeling well these few days, and a big enemy is coming, you are going to sleep these few nights." On the couch outside our room, protect mother." Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "Hey, I want him..." In the middle of the sentence, she suddenly realized that it was false for the husband to want his son to protect him, but in reality it was the couple protecting their son nearby. This precious son is proud and arrogant, if he wants him to be under the protection of his parents, maybe he will feel dissatisfied and go out to challenge the enemy on his own, that would be extremely dangerous, so he immediately changed his words: "Exactly! You have rheumatism, your hands and feet are sore and weak, your father takes care of the overall situation and cannot accompany me all day, if an enemy invades the inner hall, my mother may not be able to resist." Lin Pingzhi said: "I just stay with my mother."

That night Lin Pingzhi slept on the couch outside his parents' room.Lin Zhennan and his wife opened the door, put the weapon next to the pillow, did not even take off their clothes, shoes and socks, but covered their bodies with a thin quilt, and jumped up to meet the enemy as soon as there was a warning sign.

The night was uneventful.At dawn on the second day, someone shouted in a low voice outside the window: "Short escort, less escort!" Lin Pingzhi didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, and fell asleep soundly at dawn, and didn't wake up for a while.Lin Zhennan said: "What's the matter?" The man outside said: "Young Escort's horse...that horse died." Lin Pingzhi loved this white horse very much, and when the groom who took care of it saw the horse died, he panicked and reported it.Lin Pingzhi heard it in a daze, turned over and sat up, and hurriedly said: "I'll go and have a look." Governor Lin Zhennan felt strange, and walked quickly to the stable together, only to see the white horse lying on the ground, already dead, But no scars at all.

Lin Zhennan asked: "Didn't you hear the horse barking at night? What's the noise?" The groom said: "No." Lin Zhennan took his son's hand and said: "Don't be a pity, Daddy asked someone to try to buy a fine horse for you. Lin Pingzhi stroked the horse's corpse, weeping in a daze.

Suddenly Chen Qi rushed over, and said angrily, "Boss... Chief Escort is not good... not good! Those Escorts... Escorts have all given their lives to the evil spirits." Lin Zhennan and Lin Pingzhi asked in surprise, "What?"

Chen Qi just said: "It's dead, it's all dead!" Lin Pingzhi said angrily, "Everything is dead?" He reached out and grabbed his chest, shaking it a few times.Chen Qidao: "Young...Young Escort...is dead." Lin Zhennan heard him say "Young Escort is dead", the ominous words hit his ears, and he was indescribably bored and disgusted, but if he scolded him because of this, he would be even more disgusted. traces.I could only hear the noise of people outside, some said: "Where is the head of the security guard? Report him to the old man quickly." Some said: "This evil spirit is so powerful, then... what should we do?"

Lin Zhennan said loudly: "I'm here, what's the matter?" Two bodyguards and three troopers rushed towards him.The leading bodyguard said: "Head of the bodyguard, none of the brothers we sent out came back." Lin Zhennan had heard voices before, and expected someone to die suddenly, but the bodyguard he sent out to investigate last night and Qu There were as many as 22 executioners, so there was no reason for the entire army to be annihilated. He hurriedly asked: "Is anyone dead? Most likely they are still inquiring and have not come back in time." The bodyguard shook his head and said: "Seventeen corpses have been found. ..." Lin Zhennan and Lin Pingzhi said in unison, "Seventeen corpses?"

The bodyguard looked terrified, and said: "Exactly, [-] of them, including Fu, Qian, and Shi. The corpses are parked in the hall." Lin Zhennan didn't say anything, and walked quickly When I arrived at the hall, I saw that the tables and chairs that had been placed in the hall had been removed, and seventeen corpses were parked in a haphazard manner.

Rao Lin Zhennan has experienced countless storms in his life, and seeing such a scene suddenly, his hands couldn't help shaking violently, his knees were so weak, he could hardly stand upright, and asked: "For...for...for..." His throat was dry, and his hair trembled. No sound.

I could only hear someone outside the hall saying: "Oh, Escort Gao has always been a loyal person, unexpectedly he was killed by an evil ghost." Four or five nearby neighbors carried a corpse in through the door.A middle-aged man in the head said: "The villain opened the door today and saw this person died on the street. He recognized him as the head of the security guard of your bureau. He thought it was a plague and he was caught by an evil spirit. He sent it here specially." Lin Zhennan cupped his hands Said: "Thank you, thank you." He said to a traveler, "These senior neighbors, each give three taels of silver, and you go to the account room to pay." When these neighbors saw the hall full of corpses, they couldn't help Dare to stay more, take the money and thank yourself.

Not long after, the bodies of three bodyguards were brought in again. Lin Zhennan counted the number of people, 22 people were sent out last night, and there are already 21 corpses, only the body of bodyguard Chu has not been found, but it is expected that it will be in the blink of an eye. thing.

He went back to the east wing room, drank a cup of hot tea, his heart was in a state of confusion, he still couldn't calm down, and when he walked out the gate, he saw that the two flagpoles had been cut off at the same root, and his heart was even more troubled. Until now, the enemy had already started to kill There were more than [-] people in the Escort, but they never showed up, and they didn't formally call out to show their identities.He turned his head and stared at the golden signboard with the words "Fuwei Escort" on the gate for a while, thinking to himself: "Fuwei Escort has been famous in the world for decades, I never thought it would be defeated by me today."

Suddenly I heard the sound of horseshoes on the street, a horse came slowly, and there was a person lying on the horse's back.Lin Zhennan expected three points in his heart, he jumped over, and saw a dead body lying on the horse's back, it was the head of the guard Chu, he was killed on the way, and he put the body on the horse, the horse knew the way home, and went on its own return.

Lin Zhennan let out a long sigh, tears rolled down his body, fell on Chu Biaotou, hugged his body, walked into the hall, and said: "Brother Chu Xian, if I don't avenge you, I swear I won't be human, it's a pity...it's a pity, Alas, you went too fast, and you didn't have time to say the name of your enemy." This bodyguard Chu is not outstanding in the bodyguard bureau, and he has no special friendship with Lin Zhennan, and Lin Zhennan couldn't help crying under the agitated mood , Among these tears, there is actually more anger than pain.

I saw Mrs. Lin standing at the entrance of the hall, holding a golden knife in her left hand, pointing to the courtyard with her right hand, and scolding loudly: "The bastards and robbers will only sneak and stab people in the back. The Wei Escort Bureau is here, and you will fight to the death with sharp swords and sharp guns. Who in the martial arts would look down on you for such a sneaky and stealthy deed?" Lin Zhennan whispered: "My lady, what did you see?" The body of the head was placed in the ground.

Mrs. Lin said loudly: "I just didn't see any movement! These thieves are afraid of my Lin family's No. 72 evil sword technique!" Holding the golden knife handle with her right hand, she cut a circle in the air and shouted: "I'm afraid too! This golden saber in my old lady's hand!" Suddenly someone from the corner of the room sneered, and with a sneer, a hidden weapon shot down and hit the back of the golden saber with a loud bang.Mrs. Lin's arm went numb, she couldn't hold it, she let go of the golden knife, and the knife rolled straight into the courtyard.

Lin Zhennan scolded softly, the blue light flashed, he had drawn his sword in his hand, pointing his feet hard, went up to the roof, and with a move of "sweeping the group of demons", the point of the sword scattered like flying flowers, and quickly stabbed at the place where the enemy fired the hidden weapon. arrive.He was so suffocated that he never saw the enemy's side, this move exhausted his whole life, leaving no room for it.Who would have thought that this sword pierced through the void, there was a half figure in the empty corner of the room?He jumped to the roof of the East Wing, but there was still no trace of the enemy.

Mrs. Lin and Lin Pingzhi came up to respond with weapons in hand.Mrs. Lin was furious and yelled: "You son of a bitch, come out and fight to the death if you have the guts. Is it that shameless bastard who sneaks around?" She asked her husband, "You son of a bitch escaped? What kind of guy is it?" ?” Lin Zhennan shook his head, and said in a low voice: “Don’t disturb others.” The three of them searched on the roof again before jumping into the courtyard.Lin Zhennan asked in a low voice: "What hidden weapon hit your golden knife?" Mrs. Lin scolded: "You son of a bitch! I don't know!" The three searched in the courtyard, but there was no hidden weapon, only the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. There were countless extremely fine bricks scattered all over the ground. It was obvious that the enemy knocked down the golden knife in Mrs. Lin's hand with a small brick.

Mrs. Lin was swearing "you son of a bitch, stinky bastard". When she saw the broken bricks, her anger turned into fear. After coming in, he closed the door and said in a low voice: "The enemy's martial arts are really good, we are not opponents, so how... how..."

Lin Zhennan said: "Ask friends for help! In martial arts, it is common to help each other in times of need." Mrs. Lin said: "We have many friends who are close friends, but there are few who are better than our husband and wife in martial arts. Compared with us The two are still close, so it's useless to invite them here." Lin Zhennan said: "It's good to say, but there are many people with many ideas, so it's also good to invite some friends to discuss and discuss." Mrs. Lin said: "Whatever! You say you should Invite those people?" Lin Zhennan said: "Invite the nearest ones first, let's first call in the best fighters from the three escort agencies in Hangzhou, Nanchang, and Guangzhou, and then invite some martial arts comrades from the four provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Jiangxi."

Mrs. Lin frowned and said: "I need help urgently, the world has spread the word, and it has greatly degraded the reputation of the Fuwei Security Bureau." Lin Zhennan suddenly said: "Madam, are you 39 years old this year?" Mrs. Lin spat: " Bah! You still come to ask me about my age? I'm a tiger, don't you know how old I am?" Lin Zhennan said, "I posted a post saying it was your 40th birthday..." Mrs. Lin said : "Why do you add a year old to me? Am I not old enough?" Lin Zhennan shook his head and said, "When did you get old? You don't even have a single gray hair on your head. I said I'd like to celebrate your birthday, so please give me some Close relatives and friends, no one will be suspicious. When the guests come, let's just choose a good match and talk in secret, and then the reputation of the escort agency will not be damaged." Mrs. Lin turned her head and thought for a while, and said: "Okay, and It's up to you. Then what gift will you give me?" Lin Zhennan whispered in her ear: "Give me a big gift, next year we will have a big fat son!"

Mrs. Lin let out a sound of pooh, her face flushed, and she spat: "You are not serious, you still have the mood to say these things at the moment." Lin Zhennan laughed, walked to the tent, and ordered someone to write a post to invite friends, but in fact he was worried , said a few jokes, just to reduce the fear in his wife's heart, and thought to herself: "It's hard to put out a fire near the water, and it's likely to be tonight, and something will happen in the escort agency. When the invited friends arrive , I wonder if there are Fuwei Escorts in the world?"

When he walked to the door of the tent, he saw two male servants with terrified expressions on their faces, and they said in a trembling voice: "Boss... Chief... Escort... This... This is not good." Lin Zhennan said: "What's the matter? A manservant said: "Just now, Mr. Accountant asked Lin Fu to buy a coffin. He...he... just walked to the corner of the East Street, and fell to the ground dead." Lin Zhennan said: "There is such a thing. What about others?" The male servant said: "He fell down on the street." Lin Zhennan said: "Go and carry his body." He thought: "In broad daylight, the enemy actually kills people in the downtown area, it is really extremely daring. "The two male servants said: "Yes... yes..." But they didn't move.Lin Zhennan said: "What's the matter?" A male servant said: "Please ask the Chief Escort to take a look...to see..."

Lin Zhennan knew that something strange happened again, he snorted, and walked towards the gate, only to see three bodyguards and five passers-by looking out the door, their faces pale and panicked.Lin Zhennan said: "What's the matter?" Without waiting for anyone to answer, he went in and saw six large characters written in blood dripping on the bluestone board outside the gate: "Who goes out ten steps and dies."About ten steps away from the door, there was a line of blood about an inch wide.

Lin Zhennan asked: "When was it written? Did no one see it?" A bodyguard said: "Just now Lin Fu died on the East Street, and everyone rushed over to see it. There was no one in front of the door, so I don't know who wrote it. Just kidding!" Lin Zhennan raised his voice and said loudly: "The Lin surname is getting impatient, let's see how he goes out ten steps and dies!" He strode out the door.

The two bodyguards shouted at the same time: "Chief bodyguard!" Lin Zhennan waved his hand, and stepped across the blood line. Seeing the blood line, it was still wet, and stretched out his foot to wipe the six blood lines into a blur. , Then he went back into the gate and said to the three escorts: "This is a scary thing, why are you afraid of him? Three brothers, please go to the coffin shop, and then go to Tianning Temple in Xicheng to invite monks Come and do rituals for a few days, save the dead, and get rid of the plague."

The three bodyguards saw that the head of the bodyguard had crossed the bloodline and was safe and sound, so they immediately agreed, armed with weapons, and walked out the door side by side.Lin Zhennan watched them cross the blood line, turned around the street corner, and waited for a while before entering.

He walked into the tent and said to Mr. Huang in the tent: "Master Huang, please write a few posts for my wife's birthday, and invite relatives and friends to have a cup of birthday wine." Mr. Huang said: "Yes, I don't know what it is One day?" Suddenly he heard urgent footsteps, a person rushed in, Lin Zhennan probed out, and heard a bang, someone fell to the ground.Lin Zhennan rushed over following the sound, and saw that it was Di Biaotou, one of the three escorts who had been ordered to go to the coffin shop just now, and his body was still writhing.Lin Zhennan stretched out his hand to help him up, and quickly asked: "Brother Di, what's the matter?" Di Biaotou said: "They are dead, I... I escaped back." Lin Zhennan said: "What is the enemy like?" Di Biaotou said: " No... I don't know... I don't know..." There was a convulsion, and then I died.

In a short while, everyone in the Escort has been informed.Mrs. Lin and Lin Pingzhi both came out of the inner hall, and they could only hear the six words "Whoever goes ten steps away dies" whispered in everyone's mouth.Lin Zhennan said: "I'll go and carry the bodies of those two bodyguards back." Mr. Huang, the accountant, said: "The chief... the chief escort... can't go, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Who... who will go Carry back the corpse and reward 30 taels of silver." He said three times, but no one made a sound.

Mrs. Lin suddenly called out: "Hey, where's Ping'er? Ping'er, Ping'er!" The last cry was very anxious.Everyone followed suit and shouted: "Stop the escort, save the escort!"

Suddenly Lin Pingzhi's voice was heard outside the door: "I'm here!" Everyone was overjoyed and rushed to the door, only to see Lin Pingzhi's tall figure coming out from the street corner, with a corpse on each shoulder It was the two bodyguards who died on the street.Lin Zhennan and Mrs. Lin both rushed out, with weapons in their hands, crossed the blood line, and protected Lin Pingzhi back.

All the bodyguards and troopers cheered in unison: "Young bodyguard, you are a young hero, you have extraordinary courage!"

Lin Zhennan and Mrs. Lin were also very proud.Mrs. Lin complained: "Son, you are so reckless in doing things! Although these two escort leaders are good friends, they always die. It's not worth taking such a big risk."

Lin Pingzhi smiled, feeling unspeakable sadness in his heart: "It's all because I couldn't hold back my anger for a while, and killed one person, so many people died for me. If I am greedy for life and afraid of death, why should I be human?"

Suddenly someone from the back hall called out: "Master Hua died so well?"

Lin Zhennan shouted, "What's the matter?" The steward in the bureau turned pale, and came over timidly, and said, "Chief escort, Master Hua went out to buy vegetables through the back door, but died ten steps away. There is also this at the back door... These six blood characters." Master Nahua is a cook in the escort agency, and his cooking skills are not bad. Several flavors of winter melon cup, Buddha jumping over the wall, bad fish, and pork skin wonton are well-known in Fuzhou, and they are one of the capitals for Lin Zhennan to make friends with high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen.Lin Zhennan's heart was shocked, and he thought to himself: "He is just an ordinary cook, not a bodyguard or a trooper. According to the rules of Jianghu Road, when robbing a bodyguard, the coachman, bearer, mule driver, and porter will not be killed. Are you so ruthless that you want to destroy my Fuwei Escort Bureau?" He said to everyone: "Don't panic, everyone. Hmph, these dogs and robbers will just take advantage of others. You all saw it with your own eyes. Just now The young escort and my wife are clearly ten steps away from the gate, so what do those dog robbers dare to do?"

Everyone only said yes, but no one dared to take another step out.Lin Zhennan and Mrs. Lin faced each other with frowning faces, helpless.

That night Lin Zhennan arranged for all bodyguards to watch the night, but when he was patrolling with his sword, he saw more than ten bodyguards sitting in groups in the hall, no one was guarding outside.When all the bodyguards saw the head of the bodyguard, they all stood up awkwardly, but none of them moved.Lin Zhennan thought that the enemy was too strong, so many people died in the game, he was still helpless, no wonder everyone was timid, so he comforted him a few words, ordered people to bring food and wine, and accompanied the bodyguards to drink in the hall.Everyone was troubled, they didn't talk much, they just drank wine, and after a while, several of them passed out.

In the afternoon of the next day, the sound of horseshoes was suddenly heard, and several horsemen rushed out of the escort agency.After Lin Zhennan checked, it turned out that the five bodyguards couldn't stand the situation and left without saying goodbye.He shook his head and sighed: "When disaster strikes, we will fly separately. The one surnamed Lin is unable to take care of the brothers, so let's just go if we want." The rest of the bodyguards had their mouths open and accused the five of them of being too disrespectful; A few people were silent, just sighed and thought to themselves: "Why don't I go?"

In the evening, five horses returned with five corpses.These five bodyguards wanted to escape from the dangerous place, but they died first.

Lin Pingzhi's grief and indignation were unbearable, he rushed out the door with his long sword in his hand, stood three steps away from the bloody line, and said loudly: "A man who does his own work is responsible for one person. That Sichuanese surnamed Yu was killed by me, Lin Pingzhi." , but it has nothing to do with others. If you want revenge, just go to Lin Pingzhi, cut him into pieces, die without complaint, you kill goodness again and again, what kind of heroes are you? Lin Pingzhi is here, come and kill if you have the ability! If you don't dare to show up, you are a cowardly bandit, and you are a tortoise!" He screamed louder and louder, unbuttoned his clothes, exposed his chest, and slapped his chest and shouted: " A dignified man, if he dies, he will die, and if he has the guts, he will cut him with a knife, why don't he even dare to see me? You cowardly son of a bitch, a thief!"

His eyes turned red, he slapped his chest and screamed, the passers-by on the street watched from a distance, and who dared to approach the escort agency to watch.

Lin Zhennan and his wife rushed out the door when they heard their son's cry.The two of them have been suffocating in their hearts for the past few days, full of resentment, their stomachs are really going to explode, hearing Lin Pingzhi shouting at the enemy like this, he yelled and cursed loudly.

All the bodyguards looked at each other, admiring the courage of the three of them, they all thought: "The head of the bodyguard is a hero, the wife is the husband of a woman, that's all. The head of the bodyguard is born like a big girl, but he is so fearless. yell at the enemy."

Lin Zhennan and the other three scolded for a long time, but there was no sound all around.Lin Pingzhi shouted: "Who goes out ten steps and dies, I just take a few more steps, how can you do anything to me?" As he spoke, he took a few steps outward, stood with his sword horizontally, and looked down on all directions.

Mrs. Lin said: "Okay, dogs and robbers bully the good and fear the evil, but they dare not mess with my child." She took Lin Pingzhi's hand and went back to the gate.Lin Pingzhi was so angry that he was trembling all over. After returning to the bedroom, he couldn't bear it anymore, and fell on the couch, crying loudly.Lin Zhennan stroked his head and said, "Boy, you are quite courageous. You are worthy of being a good man of my Lin family. If the enemy dare not show his face, what can we do? Just sleep for a while."

Lin Pingzhi cried for a while, then fell asleep in a daze.After dinner, I heard my father and mother talking in a low voice, but it turned out that some bodyguards in the bureau had a whimsical idea. They wanted to dig a tunnel out of the back garden and escape through the blood line ten steps away, otherwise they would be trapped in the bodyguard bureau , Sooner or later he lost his life.Mrs. Lin sneered and said: "They want to dig a tunnel, let them do it. I'm afraid... I'm afraid... Huh!" Both Lin Zhennan and his son understood what she meant. Like an escort, he lost his life early in vain.Lin Zhennan pondered and said: "I'll go and see, if this is the way to survive, it's better to let everyone go." He went out for a while, came back into the room, and said: "These people only talk loudly, but no one can talk about it." Don’t dare to dig with your hands.”

The three of them went to bed early that night.Everyone in the Escort was resigned to fate, and no one was patrolling the vigil.

Lin Pingzhi slept until the middle of the night when he suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulder. He jumped up and reached out to draw the long sword under the pillow, but he heard his mother's voice say, "Ping'er, it's me. Your father hasn't been out for a long time." Come back, let's look for him." Lin Pingzhi was taken aback, "Where did dad go?" Mrs. Lin said, "I don't know!"

Armed with weapons, the two walked out of the room and went to the outside of the hall first, only to see brightly lit candles in the hall, and more than a dozen bodyguards were playing dice for gambling.After a few days of fear, everyone felt that there was nothing they could do anyway, so they simply put life and death aside.Mrs. Lin made a gesture, turned around, and went. The mother and son searched everywhere, but Lin Zhennan was nowhere to be found. The two became more and more startled, but they dared not speak out. When everyone in the situation was in panic, when they heard that the head of the bodyguard was missing, they would be in chaos. It's getting out of hand.The two found their way back, Lin Pingzhi suddenly heard a light click between the weapons on the left, and a light came out from the window pane.He jumped over, poked through the window paper with his fingers, looked inside, and exclaimed joyfully, "Daddy, so you are here."

Lin Zhennan was originally bent over, facing the inner wall, when he heard the sound, he turned his head.Lin Pingzhi was shocked when he saw the extremely terrified expression on his father's face. His face was full of joy and he froze. He opened his mouth wide and couldn't make a sound.

Mrs. Lin pushed open the door of the room and broke in, only to see that the ground was covered with blood, and there was a person lying on the three side-by-side long hair, completely naked, with the chest and belly cut open, looking at the face of the dead body, one could recognize it as Huo Biao He escaped on horseback with four bodyguards during the day, but let the horses carry the corpse back.Lin Pingzhi also walked into the weapon room and closed the door behind his back.Lin Zhennan picked up a bloody heart from the dead man's chest, and said, "A heart has been shattered into eight or nine pieces. It really is...it really is..." Mrs. Lin interjected, "It really is from the Qingcheng School." Destroying Heart Palm'!" Lin Zhennan nodded and remained silent.

Only then did Lin Pingzhi realize that his father was conducting an autopsy to examine the causes of death of the victims.

Lin Zhennan put his mind back, wrapped the dead body in an oilcloth, threw it in a corner, washed the blood on his hands, went back to the bedroom with his wife and children, and said, "The opponent is indeed a master of the Qingcheng sect. My lady, what do you think should I do?"

Lin Pingzhi said angrily: "This matter started from my boy, I will go out tomorrow and fight him to the death. If you lose, just let him kill you." Lin Zhennan shook his head and said: "This man will kill him with one palm. People's hearts were broken, but the body of the deceased did not leave any scars. This man's martial arts is so high that even among the Qingcheng sect, he is also one of the best figures. If he wants to kill you, he will have killed you long ago. I can see that the enemy is ruthless. , I will never kill our family of three without hesitation." Lin Pingzhi said: "What is he going to do?" Lin Zhennan said: "This dog thief is like a cat and a mouse. If you play it hard enough, it will scare the mouse to pieces. Frightened to death by himself, he will be happy." Lin Pingzhi said angrily, "Hmph, this bastard actually treats our Fuwei Escort as nothing."

Lin Zhennan said: "He really treats Fuwei Escort Bureau as nothing." Lin Pingzhi said: "Maybe he is afraid of Daddy's 72-way evil sword technique, otherwise why he never dared to fight with sword and spear, just take advantage of it Unprepared, secretly harming people?" Lin Zhennan shook his head and said: "Ping'er, Daddy's evil sword technique is more than enough to deal with underworld thieves, but this person's heart-breaking palm kung fu is far better than that. I... I have always been dissatisfied, but seeing the heart of Captain Huo, it is... alas!" Seeing his father's gloomy expression, which was very different from usual, Lin Pingzhi dared not say anything.

Mrs. Lin said: "Since the enemy is strong and the man can bend and stretch, let's avoid him for now." Lin Zhennan nodded and said, "I think so too." Mrs. Lin said: "Let's set off for Luoyang overnight. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." Lin Zhennan said: "That's right! My father-in-law has friends all over the world, so he will definitely give us an idea. Pack up some things, and then we'll go." Lin Pingzhi said: "As soon as we leave, leave the escort agency behind. Many of these people are ignored, so what should we do?" Lin Zhennan said: "The enemy has no grievances against them, once we leave, everyone in the bodyguard will be at peace."

Lin Pingzhi said in his heart: "Father's words are right, the enemy killed many people in the escort agency, but it was only for me. Once I get away, the enemy will never make trouble with these irrelevant escorts and trippers. "Now go back to your room to pack up.I thought that maybe the enemy would burn the Escort to the ground, looking at the clothes, accessories and playthings, I felt so reluctant, and I couldn't let go of that one, so I packed two parcels with the boss, I felt that there were too many things left behind, He took another jade horse from the case with his left hand, rolled a leopard skin with his right hand, which was peeled off from the leopard he killed with his own hands, carried the package on his back, and went to his parents' room.

Mrs. Lin couldn't help laughing when she saw it, and said: "We are fleeing, not moving, what are we doing with all this trouble?" Zhennan sighed, shook his head, and thought: "Although we are a family of martial arts, our son He has been pampered since childhood, apart from having learned some martial arts, he is no different from ordinary dudes from rich and noble families, so it is no wonder that he was caught in a catastrophe and reacted hastily." He couldn't help feeling pity, and said: "Your grandpa's house has everything, so you don't need to bring too many items. We just need to bring more gold and silver, and some valuable jewelry. There are branch offices in Jiangxi, Hunan, and Hubei. Are you afraid of begging on the road? Parcels The lighter the better, the lighter the body, the easier it is to move." Lin Pingzhi had no choice but to put down the package.

Mrs. Lin said: "Shall we ride out through the gate openly on horseback, or sneak out through the back door?"

Lin Zhennan sat on the grand teacher's chair, closed his eyes, and smoked the dry pipe loudly. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "Ping'er, go and inform the people in the bureau to clean up. They left together at dawn and asked the accountant to distribute the silver taels to everyone. We will come back after the plague is over." Lin Pingzhi replied, "Yes!" My heart was so strange that my father suddenly changed his mind.Mrs. Lin said: "You said you want everyone to disperse? Who will take care of this escort?" Don't you all leave?" At the moment when Lin Pingzhi went out of the room to send a message, chaos broke out everywhere.

Lin Zhennan waited for his son to leave the room before he said: "Lady, we father and son will change into the clothes of the old man, and you will pretend to be a servant girl. At dawn, more than 100 people will rush away. No matter how good the enemy's martial arts are, there are only one or two people. Who should I go after?" Mrs. Lin clapped her hands and praised: "This plan is extremely high." Then she went to fetch two sets of filthy clothes from the traveler, and when Lin Pingzhi came back, she changed them for his father and son, and changed them herself. Wearing a set of green cloth clothes, with a blue flowered cloth handkerchief wrapped around her head, except for her fair complexion, she looks like a rough servant girl.Lin Pingzhi only felt that the clothes on his body smelled unbearable, and the boss in his heart didn't want to, but there was nothing he could do.

At dawn, Lin Zhennan ordered the gate to be opened, and said to everyone: "This year I am unlucky, and there are plagues in the game, so everyone has to avoid it. Brothers, if you still want to be bodyguards, please go to Hangzhou and Nanchang. Vote for our Zhejiang branch and Jiangxi branch, and Biaotou Liu and Biaotou Yi will not neglect you. Let's go!" At that moment, more than a hundred people mounted their horses in the courtyard and rushed out of the gate.

Lin Zhennan locked the gate, shouted, more than a dozen horsemen rushed across the blood line, they were so courageous, everyone was no longer afraid, they all felt that leaving the bodyguard a moment earlier would be safer.There was a lot of hoofbeats, and they all ran towards the north gate. Most of the people had no plans, and when they saw others heading north, they also rode their horses to follow.

Lin Zhennan made a gesture at the street corner to tell his wife and son to stay, and said in a low voice, "Let them go north, but we go south." Mrs. Lin said: "Go to Luoyang, how can we go south?" Lin Zhennan said: " The enemy expected us to go to Luoyang, and decided to intercept us outside the north gate, but we turned to the south, made a big circle and then turned to the north, asking the dogs to stop us."

Lin Pingzhi said: "Father!" Lin Zhennan said: "What?" Lin Pingzhi said: "My child still wants to go out of the north gate. This dog thief has killed many of us. If you don't fight him to the death, you will be angry. How can you swallow it?" Mrs. Lin said: "This great enmity is naturally to be avenged, but with your little ability, can you resist the crushing palm of others?" Lin Pingzhi said angrily: "At most It's just like Huo Biaotou, who broke his heart with a palm, that's all."

Lin Zhennan's face was livid, and he said: "Three generations of my Lin family, if they were as brave as you, the Fuwei Escort would have collapsed by itself without waiting for someone to pick them."

Lin Pingzhi didn't dare to say any more, followed his parents to head southward, turned southwest after leaving the city, and arrived at Nanyu after crossing the Minjiang River.

During the half-day running, it can be said that it was non-stop, and it was not until after noon that I stopped at a small restaurant by the roadside.

Lin Zhennan told the rice seller what dishes he had, and he got them to serve as soon as possible, the better.The man agreed to go.But after a long time, there was no movement.Lin Zhennan hurried on his way, and shouted: "Shopkeeper, hurry up!" He called twice, but no one answered.Mrs. Lin also called: "Shop, shop..." Still no answer.

Mrs. Lin stood up abruptly, opened the package hastily, took out the golden knife, held it upside down, and ran to the back hall, only to see the man selling food fell to the ground, and a woman lying on the threshold was the man's wife.Mrs. Lin sniffed the man, but he was no longer breathing, and when her fingers touched his lips, she still felt warm.

At this time, Lin Zhennan and his son had also drawn out their long swords and circled around the restaurant.This small hotel is an exclusive and lonely restaurant, built on the back of a mountain, surrounded by a pine forest, and has no neighbors.The three of them stood in front of the shop and looked around, seeing nothing unusual.

In front of Lin Zhennan Hengjian, he said in a loud voice: "Friends of the Qingcheng faction, Mr. Lin is leading the death here, so please show up and meet." He called a few times, only to hear the echo of the valley: "See you in person, now Let's meet each other!" The lingering voice curled up, and there was even more silence.The three of them knew that the enemy was on the sidelines, and this was the place they had chosen to attack, although they were apprehensive, they knew that they would make a decision immediately, and they regained their composure.Lin Pingzhi shouted loudly: "I, Lin Pingzhi, are right here, come and kill me! Thieves, bastards, I don't think you dare to show yourself! The sneaky ones are the three thieves from all over the world." trick!"

All of a sudden, there was a clear long laugh in the pine forest, Lin Pingzhi's eyes blurred, and he saw that there was another person in front of him.He didn't have time to look carefully, the long sword stretched out, and with a move of "Punching the Yellow Dragon", it stabbed at the man's chest.The man turned away.Lin Pingzhi's horizontal sword slashed sharply, the man let out a sneer and walked around to Lin Pingzhi's left side.Lin Pingzhi counterattacked with his left hand, and stabbed with the sword.

Lin Zhennan and Mrs. Lin each raised their weapons, and they had already grabbed their swords, but they saw their son making several moves in succession, and their swordsmanship was orderly. , with a sword hanging from his waist, and a long face, about 23 or [-] years old, with a look of disdain on his face.

Lin Pingzhi had stored up his anger for a long time, so he used the evil sword technique to move forward, slashing and hitting directly, all of which were desperate and desperate.The man was empty-handed, just dodged, did not return the blow, waited for Lin Pingzhi to stab more than [-] sword moves, then he sneered and said: "The evil sword technique is nothing more than that!" Lin Pingzhi only felt the sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, and the long sword fell to the ground.The man kicked Lin Pingzhi into a flying kick, causing him to turn several somersaults.

Lin Zhennan and his wife stood side by side, covering their son.Lin Zhennan said: "Your Majesty's last name? Are you from the Qingcheng School?" The man sneered and said, "You are not worthy of asking my name because of your skills in Fuwei Escort Bureau. But today you came here for revenge, you must I have to let you know, yes, I belong to the Qingcheng sect."

Lin Zhennan pointed his sword to the ground, put his left hand on the back of his right hand, and said: "I respect the Master Yu of Songfeng Temple very much. Every year I send bodyguards to Qingcheng, and I never dare to be less polite. The four disciples want to come to Fuzhou, but I don’t know where I offended you?” The young man looked up to the sky, sneered, and said after a long time: “That’s right, my master sent four disciples to Fuzhou, and I was one of them One." Lin Zhennan said: "That's very good, I don't know your surname Gao?" The young man seemed to dismiss the answer, snorted again, and then said: "My surname is Yu, and my name is Yu Renhao." Lin Zhennan nodded Nodded, said: "'Heroes and Heroes, Qingcheng Four Talents', it turns out that your Excellency is one of the four major disciples of Songfengguan. It is no wonder that the attainment of destroying the heart is so brilliant. Killing without blood, admiration, admiration! Yu Yingxiong came to visit from afar, Lin has never greeted him, so he is very rude."

Yu Renhao said coldly: "Is that heart-breaking palm? Hehe... You never greeted him, but you, a virtuous young man with high martial arts skills, did. Even killing my master's beloved son is no longer counted as a gift." How are you sorry?"

When Lin Zhennan heard this, a chill ran down his spine. He thought that if the person who killed his son by mistake was an ordinary disciple of the Qingcheng School, then he might be able to get some respectable people in the martial arts world to mediate the dispute and apologize to the other party. There is room for change, it turns out that this person is actually the beloved son of Yu Canghai, the master of Songfeng Temple, so there is no other way but to fight to the death.He waved his long sword, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "It's funny, Yu Shaoxia told a joke." Yu Renhao rolled his eyes and said proudly: "What joke am I talking about?" Lin Zhennan said: "I have admired Yu Guanzhu's martial arts for a long time He is a supernatural being with a rigorous family education, and everyone in the world admires him. But the person who was killed by a dog by mistake was a rogue who molested a girl from a good family in a wine shop. Since he was killed by a dog, it is conceivable that his martial arts are mediocre. It could be Yu Guanzhu's son, but isn't Yu Shaoxia joking?"

Yu Renhao's face darkened, and he was speechless for a moment.Suddenly someone in the pine forest said: "As the saying goes: two fists are hard to defeat four hands. In that small hotel, Lin Shao's bodyguard led 24 bodyguards of the Fuwei bodyguard agency, and suddenly besieged me, Junior Brother Yu..." he said , while walking out, this man was small-headed and small-headed, shaking a folding fan in his hand, and then said: "If you do it with a sword and a spear, that's all. Even if there are many people in the Fuwei Escort, it's useless to be honest. But Lin Shao's escort The head was poisoned in the wine of my Junior Brother Yu, and seventeen kinds of hidden weapons were used to feed the poison. Hehe, this turtle is so vicious. We came to visit with good intentions, but we didn't expect him to make a sudden plot where."

Lin Zhennan said: "Your Majesty's name?" The man said: "Don't dare, the mere people below are wise."

Lin Pingzhi picked up the long sword and stood aside angrily, only waiting for his father to explain a few words on the occasion, he was about to pounce on it and fight again, hearing the man's wisdom talking nonsense, he immediately shouted angrily: "Fuck you!" I have no grievances or enmities with him, I have never met him before, so I don’t even know that he is from the Qingcheng faction, why did you hurt him?”

Fang Renzhi shook his head and said, "Fart, fart! It stinks, it stinks! Since you have no grievances or enmity with Junior Brother Yu, why did you ambush more than [-] escorts and troopers outside the small hotel? My Yu Junior brother saw you flirting with a good girl from a good family, seeing injustice, knocked you down, taught you a lesson, and spared your life, but instead of being grateful, why did you order those dog guards to attack me, Junior Brother Yu?" Lin Pingzhi He was so angry that his lungs would explode, and he shouted: "It turns out that the Qingcheng faction are all rogues who turn right and wrong!" Fang Renzhi said with a smile: "Guilty son, you curse!" Lin Pingzhi said angrily: "I What if you scold you?" Fang Renzhi nodded and said, "You scold me, it's irrelevant, it's okay."

Lin Ping was stunned, his two words were beyond his expectation, suddenly, there was only a whoosh, and someone rushed in front of him.Lin Pingzhi swung his left palm sharply, and was about to attack, he finally took a step back, with a slap, he was slapped hard on his right cheek, gold stars appeared in front of his eyes, he almost fainted.Fang Renzhi slapped him extremely quickly, retreated to the original place, stretched out his hand to stroke his right cheek, and said angrily, "Boy, why did you hit someone? It hurts, it hurts, haha!"

Seeing her son being humiliated, Mrs. Lin slashed at the man with a swipe of the knife. She made a move of "wild fire burning the sky". inch.The man was taken aback and cursed: "Good lady!" He didn't dare to underestimate the enemy any longer, he drew his long sword from his waist, and waited for Mrs. Lin to strike again with the second knife, and fought back with the sword.

Lin Zhennan straightened his long sword, and said: "The Qingcheng faction is going to pick the Fuwei Escort, it's extremely easy, but in the martial arts, right and wrong have their own opinions. Yu Shaoxia please!" Yu Renhao pressed the scabbard and choked With a clang, the long sword came out of its sheath, and said: "Boss Lin, please."

Lin Zhennan thought to himself: "I've heard for a long time that his Qingcheng School's Songfeng swordsmanship is strong and light, and it is both strong and light. He said that it is as strong as pine and as light as wind. I can only hope to win if I take the initiative." Even more impolite at the moment, the tip of the sword is pointed, and the long sword is swung horizontally, which is a move in the evil sword technique "group evil and eliminate changes".Seeing that his sword was coming very fiercely, Yu Renhao dodged to avoid it.Lin Zhennan's first move didn't make him old, and his second move "Zhong Kui Picking Eyes", the point of the sword pierced the opponent's eyes.Yu Renhao raised his foot and jumped back.Lin Zhennan's third sword followed, and Yu Renhao raised his sword to block, when there was a sound, both of their arms shook.

Lin Zhennan thought in his heart: "I can tell you how great your Qingcheng faction is, but it's nothing more than that. With your little kung fu, how could you be able to hit such a powerful heart-destroying palm? That's absolutely impossible, most likely he has other great support Later." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.Yu Renhao's long sword circled and pierced out swiftly, dotted with silver stars, the tip of the sword pierced in seven directions.Lin Zhennan's return move was also extremely fast, struggling to attack.The two of them advanced and retreated suddenly, it was difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom of the twenty moves.

Over there, Mrs. Lin and Fang Renzhi were fighting each other but they were in danger one after another. A golden saber couldn't block the opponent's extremely swift sword moves.

Lin Pingzhi saw that his mother was at a loss, so he hurriedly raised his sword and ran towards Fang Renzhi, and struck down on the top of his head with the sword.Fang Renzhi slanted to dodge, Lin Pingzhi was like a madman, and immediately rushed forward, suddenly staggered, tripped by something, and fell immediately, only one person said: "Lie down!" A foot stepped heavily on him, followed by a sharp object piercing his back.All he could see was dust from the ground, but he heard his mother screaming: "Don't kill him, don't kill him!" Fang Renzhi shouted: "Lie down too!"

It turned out that when Lin Pingzhi's mother and son were fighting each other for wisdom, one person covered up from behind, raised his foot and swept across, tripping Lin Pingzhi, then pulled out the dagger, and pointed it at his back.Mrs. Lin was already invincible, flustered, she became more loose with her saber technique, Fang Renzhi elbowed her and fell down immediately.Fang Renzhi rushed forward and clicked on the acupoints of the two of them.The one who tripped Lin Pingzhi was Jia Hanzi who fought with two guards in a small hotel outside Fuzhou city.

Lin Zhennan saw that his wife and son were being restrained by the enemy, he was panicked, and rushed to attack with several swords.Yu Renhao let out a long laugh, and used several tricks in succession to seize the opportunity.Lin Zhennan was terrified: "How does this person know my evil-disciplining sword technique?" Yu Renhao smiled and said, "How about my evil-disciplining sword technique?" ..."

Fang Renzhi smiled and said: "What's so great about your evil swordsmanship? I can do it too!" The long sword shook, "Quite evils and Yi", "Zhong Kui's eyes", "Flying swallows piercing willows", three moves in succession, They are all evil sword techniques.

In an instant, Lin Zhennan seemed to have seen the most terrifying scene in the world. He never expected that the opponent could also use his family's unique sword technique of warding off evil. At this moment of loss, his fighting spirit disappeared.Yu Renhao shouted: "Go!" Lin Zhennan was hit by the sword in his right knee, his knee was sore and weak, and his right leg fell to his knees.He immediately jumped up, raised Renhao's long sword, and pointed it at his chest.Jia Renda applauded loudly: "Brother Yu, what a trick 'meteor catches the moon'!"

This move "meteor chasing the moon" is also a move in the evil sword technique.

Lin Zhennan let out a long sigh, threw down his long sword, and said, "You...you...know how to ward off evil swordsmanship...give us a refreshing one!" His back was numb, and Fang Renzhi hit the acupoint with the hilt of his sword. I heard him say: "Hmph, is there such a cheap thing in the world? My ancestors, Gui'er, Gui Po, Gui grandson surnamed Lin, the three of you, go see my master together."

Jia Renda grabbed Lin Pingzhi's vest with his left hand, lifted it up, and slapped him twice, cursing, "You son of a bitch, from today onwards, I will beat you eighteen times a day, all the way to Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan , beat your Huadan face into a big one!" Lin Pingzhi spit at him in a rage.The distance between the two was not more than a chi, but Jia Renda didn't have time to dodge, and hit the bridge of his nose with a slap.Jia Renda was furious, he threw him heavily to the ground, and kicked him on the back with his feet.Fang Renzhi smiled and said: "Enough, enough! If you kick him to death, how will you explain to the master? This kid is like a big girl, but he can't stand your three punches or two kicks."

Jia Renda's martial arts were mediocre, and his character was wretched. His master never liked him, and his fellow apprentices looked down on him. Hearing what Fang Renzhi said, he didn't dare to kick him anymore, so he had to beat Lin Pingzhi repeatedly. Spit to vent anger.

Fang Yu and the two of them took Lin Zhennan's family of three into the hotel and threw them underground.Fang Renzhi said: "Let's have a meal before we leave, Junior Brother Jia, please drive to cook." Jia Renda said: "Okay." Yu Renhao said: "Brother Fang, we must guard against these three The guy escaped. This old martial art is not bad, you have to think about it." Fang Renzhi smiled and said: "That's easy! After eating, I broke the tendons of the three people's arms and tied them with ropes. Make a bunch of crabs in your lute bone, you won't be able to escape."

Lin Pingzhi yelled: "If you have the guts, kill the three of you as soon as possible, and let these ghosts know the way, that is a despicable act!" Fang Renzhi smiled and said: "You little bastard, if you curse again, I'll kill you!" Find some cow dung and shit and stuff it in your mouth." This sentence was really effective, although Lin Pingzhi was so angry that he almost fainted, he immediately shut up and didn't dare to curse again.

Fang Renzhi smiled and said: "Brother Yu, the master taught us the 72-way evil swordsmanship, and our two brothers really look alike. When Lin Biaotou saw it, his soul disappeared immediately, and his whole body was weak. Lin Biaotou, I Guess you must be thinking at this moment: How could he Qingcheng faction use my Lin family's evil sword technique, isn't it?"

Lin Zhennan was really thinking at this moment: "How can he Qingcheng faction make my Lin family's evil sword technique?"
