In Mingyue Valley, the sky is clear.
Although the winter sunshine is dazzling, it is not strong. It shines on people's bodies, making them warm and comfortable.
Although Tang Qingqing's gaze was not dazzling, it was very intense. Both Xiao Ding and Ye Rongqiu seemed to have felt its scorching temperature, and they both looked at Tang Qingqing in unison.
Three people, three pairs of eyes, their gazes exchanged, and they opened at the slightest touch.
No one knows what they are thinking at this moment.
The air seemed to have condensed. Even Qingcheng Sixiu vaguely guessed something and felt a little embarrassed, as if on pins and needles. But no one can solve this embarrassing situation.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziheng had unloaded his horses and handed them to the waiter at the inn to feed them, and was coming over. He saw Xiao Ding and the others from a distance, and smiled as he walked: "Young Master Ding, there is no place in my life where I don't meet you. It's been half a month, but I didn't expect that we would meet again thousands of miles away."
Xiao Ding had already stood up and clasped his fists to greet him. He walked outside the house, walked to Ye Rongqiu, and said with a smile: "Are you okay?"
A simple greeting, as if the old phlegm that had accumulated in my throat for many years was finally spit out, and I felt relieved after saying it.
Ye Rongqiu felt her nose was sore and almost couldn't help but shed tears. Are you okay, am I okay, do you still care if I am okay, can I be okay without you?
But she held back. After all, she had grown up in a dangerous environment since she was a child, and her character had been hardened to a rock. How could she cry in front of Tang Qingqing. If there was no one else, she would have rushed into Xiao Ding's arms and told him that she would not be well at all without him.
Ye Rongqiu tried his best to calm down, smiled calmly, and said: "Fortunately, it seems you are fine too!"
After saying that, he stopped looking at Xiao Ding and walked directly into the inn. He sat down at the table next to Tang Qingqing and the others and said to the inn owner: "First, let's bring a pot of tea."
Besides tea, how could she eat anything else now?
Outside the house, Xiao Ding smiled at Zhou Ziheng and said, "I didn't expect to meet an old friend in a place like this. You've had a bumpy journey, so come in and have a cup of tea first."
Zhou Ziheng patted Xiao Ding on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go together, let's go together, it's hot outside."
After entering the house, Xiao Ding said to Qingcheng Sixiu and Tang Qingqing: "This is the old hero of the 'One Sword Crossing Boat' Zhou Ziheng Zhou who dominated the martial arts in Guangdong and Guangxi."
Qingcheng Sixiu and Tang Qingqing stood up together and said, "I have met Senior Zhou."
Zhou Ziheng laughed and said: "What an old hero, just call me old man, sit down, sit down."
Everyone sat down again and Zhou Ziheng said: "These four must be the Four Young Masters of Qingcheng. They are indeed young heroes. Not bad. As for the Tang Dynasty's daughter, we have already met her at the martial arts conference, so there is no need to say anything more." Introduced."
The four talents in Qingcheng all bowed and said, "I don't dare to accept it. Senior has given me the prize."
Tang Qingqing suddenly smiled. She stared at Ye Rongqiu and asked, "Why don't you introduce me to this person?"
Xiao Ding smiled bitterly in his heart and sighed secretly, he was really afraid of what he was afraid of. This most troublesome scene still happened.
He smiled and said: "This Young Master Ye comes from outside the customs. He is my friend and the backbone of the fight against the Qinglong Society."
Even he himself felt that his smile was a bit fake and his introduction was too one-sided.
Tang Qingqing said solemnly: "Oh, Young Master Ye? Shouldn't it be Lady Ye?"
Ye Rongqiu said coldly: "My dear, Ye Rongqiu, in order to hide his identity, he traveled around the world disguised as a man, which made Miss Tang laugh."
Tang Qingqing smiled and said: "Don't dare, it's just that a beautiful person like Miss Ye can charm many people even if she disguises herself as a man. It's not easy to hide her identity."
Ye Rongqiu sneered and said: "Miss Tang, please don't be humble. Aren't you also stunningly beautiful? Who doesn't know the famous poisonous witch in the world?"
The two of them were going back and forth, hiding murderous intentions in every sentence, but Xiao Ding couldn't even get a word in, so he could only look at Zhou Ziheng helplessly.
Zhou Ziheng looked at Xiao Ding and said with a smile: "Young Master Ding, are you here to take the coffin of Zhao Wuji, the leader of Qingcheng, back to the mountain?"
Xiao Ding said: "That's right. Unfortunately, when he encountered an illness on the road, Hua Tuo secretly tampered with it, so he had to cremate the body of Master Zhao and bring it back. If we don't waste half a day, we won't be able to meet you."
Zhou Ziheng said in shock: "Bing Hua Tuo? This old monster has not appeared in the world for many years. It is said that he never shows his true face to others. Only few people have seen him in the past twenty years. I didn't expect that the Qinglong Society would find him." .”
Xiao Ding then described in detail what happened after Bing Hua Tuo appeared. When he said that after Bing Hua Tuo used the soul-transferring method to transform, Ye Rongqiu had a look of worry and concern on his face. Because Tang Qingqing was around, it was inconvenient. say something.
When Xiao Ding talked about how he skillfully put a handful of Biyu Qingxin Pills into Bing Hua Tuo's mouth, even the well-informed Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but exclaimed: "I didn't expect this old monster to secretly practice Yi." Fortunately, Shaoxia Ding was very clever and thought of using Biyu Qingxin Pills to eliminate the demonic nature in his heart, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Xiao Ding sighed: "If Bing Hua Tuo hadn't accidentally gone crazy while practicing, there would be nothing I could do against him. This soul-moving technique was truly terrifying. At that time, his soul had left his body, and he was extremely powerful. His whole body was indestructible, and ordinary swords It's hard to hurt him at all. At the critical moment, his potential has been fully unleashed, his rationality and temperament are completely out of control, and he only knows how to blindly attack the person in front of him. "
Everyone secretly smacked their tongues, and Qingcheng Sixiu was even more frightened.
While Xiao Ding and Zhou Ziheng were talking, they inadvertently diverted the tit-for-tat situation between Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu. Both of them remained silent and sat quietly.
Bu Ding was secretly happy and breathed a sigh of relief.
By this time Zhou Ziheng had finished eating and drinking, took out his tobacco rod and was filling the pipe with tobacco leaves.
Xiao Ding skillfully lit a fire for him and asked with a smile: "Why did you pass by this place and where do you want to go?"
Zhou Ziheng took a few puffs of cigarette, looked at Ye Rongqiu, and said with a smile: "We received the news and learned that the poor gambler Xuanyuan had not only fled to Sichuan, so we set off and came here. When I was in Shaolin, I heard from Master Abbot that the Qian Gang had been showing up in Shuzhong, so I took the opportunity to inquire about it. "
Xiao Ding said: "That's just right. I'm also planning to find out the whereabouts of the Money Gang. Why don't we go to Qingcheng Mountain together, and after dealing with Leader Zhao's case, we can go find out the whereabouts of the Money Gang together. We can take care of each other if there are many people." "
Zhou Ziheng looked at Ye Rongqiu and said in a deep voice: "Little Yezi, do you think Ding Shaoxia's proposal is good? If there is that yellow-robed masked man among the money gangs who appear in Shu, I think that with Ding Shaoxia here, we Then you have more chances of winning."
No changes could be seen on Ye Rongqiu's face, which was still her usual cold expression: "Master Zhao failed to achieve justice in the martial arts world and unfortunately died. As juniors, we should go to express our condolences and send Master Zhao on his last journey." ."
Qingcheng Sixiu cupped his fists and said, "Miss Ye is interested."
At this time, the owner of the inn and the waiter had packed up the food and drinks that everyone needed to take away, and the horses were full.
Zhou Ziheng smiled and said: "It seems too crowded for the six of you to sit in one carriage. Why don't you think that Ding Shaoxia and Miss Tang will move to ride with us? Several people can talk to me on the way, which can also relieve the boredom of the journey."
Xiao Ding smiled and said: "That's fine."
Xiao Ding agreed too quickly, and Tang Qingqing was too late to stop him, and was secretly annoyed.
Ye Rongqiu said coldly: "I'm afraid Miss Tang won't be willing to ride with us."
Tang Qingqing jumped up and said with a smile: "Why not? I heard that this car is very comfortable, so of course I have to try it."
After saying that, she walked towards the "cloud car". She was not stupid, how could she let Xiao Ding be alone with her.
Everyone also stood up and prepared to set off.
When Tang Qingqing walked to the car, she discovered that the carriage actually had doors at the front and back. After a little thought, she guessed that Ye Rongqiu was a daughter, so it would be more convenient to ride in the rear compartment. She rolled her eyes and got into the back seat of the car first.
In this way, only Ye Rongqiu and her could be in the back seat of the car. Of course, Xiao Ding had to sit in the front so that he could chat with Zhou Ziheng to relieve his boredom.
Ye Rongqiu stared at Tang Qingqing's back as he got into the car, his teeth seemed to be broken.
What's even more annoying is that after Tang Qingqing got on the bus, she sat in the middle seat by the window, chatting and laughing with Xiao Ding all the way. At first, Ye Rongqiu was just sulking alone, but later, she began to deliberately participate in their conversations, No matter what Tang Qingqing said to Xiao Ding, she always had to add a few words, but Zhou Ziheng, who had planned to ask Xiao Ding to talk to him, didn't get a few words to say.
The carriage traveled for another two days, noisy, chatting and laughing all the way. Unconsciously, Qingcheng Mountain was already in sight. Judging from its distance, it should only take an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.
The sky is blue and the mountains are towering.
Fresh carriages and angry horses, accompanied by the world of mortals.
