We walked to the edge of the forest and stood halfway up the mountain.
Xiao Yu looked at the quiet town in the distance, frowned, shook her head, looked at Yu Liufei and asked: "Brother Yu, can you survive your injury?"
Yu Liufei frowned, looked at the bulging appearance of the wound on his shoulder that was tightly wrapped with rags, and asked doubtfully: "Brother, I have rough skin and thick flesh. This injury is nothing, what's wrong?"
Xiaoyu replied: "The person who attacked us just now probably lives in the town. I'm worried that we will encounter him again. If the other party brings people again, I'm worried that we won't be able to pick him up. If your injury can bear it, We might as well go southwest and rest and recuperate in the next town, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Yu Liufei thought that Xiaoyu had made the right decision. He endured the serious injury on his shoulder, nodded, wiped the sweat from the pain on his forehead, and replied: "You have thought carefully, then we will go to the next town." Walk."
After Yu Liufei finished speaking, he reined in his horse and headed southwest from the Xiling ridge, followed by Xiao Yu and Liu Bo.
...
Xiling Town, in an inn in the middle of the town.
A man in black used Qinggong and quietly climbed up from a deserted shabby alley to the second floor of the inn and jumped in from the window.
Inside the house, a middle-aged man with a broken wall and two attendants with knives stood beside the coffee table. The three of them were waiting for the man in black to return.
The man in black turned over and came in, sat down on the seat on the side of the coffee table, and pulled back the black cloth covering his face. It was Xiao Yingfang, Secretary of the Third Palace of Lu Jiao.
"Third brother, is it done?" The man with a broken arm was Yiqu Changping, the director of the Lujiao Hall, who lost his left arm while playing chess with Feng Yi in Duiyi Valley.
Xiao Yingfang took a few deep breaths, nodded, and replied: "I led Hai Pingchuan and several people from the Demon Sect up the mountain, and the rounding up of them was completed, but something went wrong and I was discovered by three guys passing by. whereabouts."
When Yiqu Changping heard this, he frowned and said, "A guy passing by?"
Xiao Yingfang nodded and replied: "Two young swordsmen and an old fisherman. When I kidnapped the child and put it in the Yuzong school grounds, one of the young men saw it. I hid in the dark and listened, and they There are a few friends who should be Yu Zong, but Wu Yue doesn't want to take action, so he gives up."
Yiqu Changping frowned and said, "Just kill the three passers-by."
Xiao Yingfang sighed, shook her head, and replied: "I thought so too, so I intercepted and killed them on the way. It's just that those three people's martial arts are not low, and I can't beat them."
"What, you can't beat him? Do you know who he is? Has his identity been exposed?" Yiqu Changping asked with a frown.
Xiao Yingfang replied with a solemn expression: "I guess it's the chess maniac and his two disciples. The old man is extremely skilled in martial arts and uses a weird fishing rod technique. The two young ones should use the Tianyuan Sizi sword technique. "
Yiqu Changping heard this and asked doubtfully: "Feng Yi, the chess madman from Duiyi Valley? Does he smell extremely bad?"
Xiao Yingfang shook her head when she heard this, "She is dressed in neat coarse cloth and has no peculiar smell."
Yiqu Changping replied: "But he has a square face, broad cheeks, a flat nose, and disheveled hair?"
Xiao Yingfang shook her head, "He has a round face, a bun on top of his head, and white hair hanging over his shoulders."
Yiqu Changping shook his head and said: "That's definitely not the chess madman Feng Yi. I played chess with him in Duyi Valley and lost this left arm. I am determined not to remember his appearance wrongly. As for his disciples, I haven't seen him before, and when I went to Duyi Valley, I didn't see any of his apprentices. Could it be that you mistakenly recognized the martial arts of those people."
Xiao Yingfang was stunned and said doubtfully: "Perhaps I made a mistake. I only heard Master say that the attack method of Tian Yuan Si Zi Sword is very similar to the attack method of those two young people. That's why I suspected that it was due to Yi Gu. But the bad thing is that the old man seems to have recognized my Wuxiang Jie Finger skill."
Yiqu Changping was shocked and said: "You still used the Wuxiang Jiezhi Kung Fu? You couldn't kill them?"
Xiao Yingfang nodded and said: "Well, the old man has extremely high martial arts skills and can always avoid the zhenqi easily. There is also a younger one who uses extremely powerful light skills and can escape. These two people are protecting the strong man. I It could only hurt his shoulder. When the old man saw that I had used Wuxiangzhi Kung Fu, he asked tentatively, but I ignored him and turned around and ran away."
Yiqu Changping sighed and asked in confusion: "Then what should we do?"
Xiao Yingfang analyzed: "Those guys passing by are not low in martial arts. Let's not touch them for the time being. We will send people to secretly investigate their whereabouts and identities. As long as they are not harmful to the overall plan, we will ignore them. As for the escaped Yu Sect's old master Sun I have sent people to investigate Yu and that young boy. In a few days,
It was the birthday of Taoist Wuji, the medical sage of Luokong Mountain. The young man was Yi Xiaoming, and he came to send an invitation to invite Sun Yu to a banquet in Luokong Mountain. Luokong Mountain is located in the southeast. Send people to pursue and intercept them along the way. "
Yiqu Changping heard this, looked at the two people standing beside him, and said, "Did you two hear clearly?"
Hearing this, the two men clasped their fists and knelt down, saying, "I would like to follow the instructions of Da Siming and San Siming. I will make arrangements right away."
After the two of them answered, Yiqu Changping waved his hand, signaling for them to leave.
...
On the way to the southwest, on a small boat that was heading south on the Changling River, two people dressed as simple farmers were sitting on the bow of the small boat, carrying packages on their backs.
There were two people, one old and the other young. The old man had snow-white hair, and although the young man was plainly dressed, he still had clear eyes and unmistakable handsomeness.
These two people were Sun Yu and Yi Xiaoming who had fled.
Sun Yu frowned and looked at Yi Xiaoming and asked in a low voice: "Nephew, don't we go back to Luokong Mountain in the southeast? Why do we need to take a boat to the southwest."
Yi Xiaoming whispered back: "Uncle, the person who wants to kill you has even investigated the abandoned plank road in the back mountain of Xiling. Doesn't he know who I am? For the sake of safety, I want to avoid the enemy's interception. We will take the boat and go southwest by water, then turn to the land and go east. When the time comes, we will return to Luokong Mountain and discuss the matter with our master."
Hearing this, Sun Yu suddenly understood. He nodded heavily and sighed: "Well, that's right. He is indeed a disciple of Lao Guitou. He is very thoughtful. I never thought about it."
...
Uncle Liu and the others had nothing to do, and there was no need to rush. On the way to the southwest, they did not encounter anyone chasing them, and the journey slowed down.
The three of them arrived at a water town in the southwest, passing by the green mountain roads where countless farmers were planting rice and farming, and hurried towards the town, intending to rest for a few days and let Yu Liufei recover from his injuries.
The three of them arrived at the town, walked through several small alleys, and inquired about it. The town was called Mingshui Town. It was not a big town, and there was only a medical clinic and a tavern in the middle of the town.
