Directly behind Xu Zhenbiao's bed was a tunnel that was wider than when we arrived. Jade chased the archers along the tunnel for two to three hundred meters. After several twists and turns, she finally came out of the tunnel.
Outside was a lush reed swamp. She looked back and could just see the small island she had just landed on. It turns out that the other entrance is on the shore.
The archers fled quickly, but not as fast as Jade.
She watched seven or eight figures scurry into the reed marsh, tiptoeing a little, and like a sharp sword unsheathed, they grabbed the archer who was running at the end. The archer was slightly surprised and swung his long bow to hit Jade. Seeing that his melee combat ability was poor, Jade didn't even draw the sword. She pinched the finger of the sword and randomly touched several acupuncture points on his body. He collapsed to the ground and couldn't stand up anymore.
Jade looked at the person lying on the ground. Although his face was covered with a black cloth, judging from his eyes, he must be forty or fifty years old.
She said to the reeds: "Aren't you going to save your companions?"
She was answered with four arrows.
Jade lightly caught the incoming arrow in her hand, raised her toes, and picked up the longbow to her left hand. Then he took up his bow and shot four arrows back in the direction from which they came. She deliberately missed these four arrows, not wanting to hit anyone.
After the arrow was shot, several exclamations came from the reeds.
The middle-aged man lying on the ground asked with difficulty: "Who did you learn this archery technique from?"
Jade said coldly: "Uncle Master, let your people come out, otherwise don't blame your niece for not being a fellow disciple."
"You are Zhou Xiao's daughter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several more arrows came. Jade looked down at the middle-aged man on the ground, ignoring the bows and arrows that were shot at him, and caught all the bows and arrows with his right hand as if he had eyes.
She sneered and said, "What? Senior brothers, why don't you come out and meet this little junior sister of mine?"
No one answered.
Jade simply drew her bow and nocked an arrow, aiming the arrow at the middle-aged man's head.
At this time, a cry came from the reed marsh: "Wait a minute!"
Then, several men of different heights slowly walked out of the reeds. Each of them was carrying a bow and arrow, and they carried a murderous aura.
The middle-aged man yelled angrily: "Who asked you to come out! How did I teach you normally?! Run away!"
Jade put away her bow and arrows and sneered: "Save it, if I want to chase you, none of you can escape."
The middle-aged man asked: "Then what do you mean?"
"Two months ago, my father wrote to me, asking me to be open-minded when I see you, and to teach you a few words. Listen carefully, the following is a lesson: Yi Gong Sect originated from Tang Sect, and is a descendant of Tang Sect. Nowadays, there is no one out of ten. You don’t want to regain the Tang Sect, but you have become Ye Yu Xiaozhu’s killer. How can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Tang Sect?”
"Humph," the middle-aged man sneered, "is he worthy of teaching us a lesson? He didn't listen to the teacher's instructions, went to the Central Plains on his own, and even married a Central Plains woman. This is deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors..."
Before he finished speaking, Feicui rushed to say: "Deceive the master and destroy the ancestors? Where did he deceive the master and destroy the ancestors? Did my father humiliate the master? Or did he do something unfaithful and unjust? Recover the Tang Sect and shout That's awesome. How dare you go to the Central Plains all these years? If it weren't for my father, how many people in the Central Plains would know about your Yigongmen? What happened to marrying my mother? My mother is a great swordsman, marrying your Yigongmen, have I wronged you? On the contrary You guys...by the way, my father also asked you to give Master a message: Are you confused? If you become the killer of Ye Yu Xiaozhu, if word spreads about it, the Tang Sect will not be able to hope for revival."
After saying these few words, a few people from Yigongmen couldn't stand it anymore.
It seems that what she said... makes sense. Zhou Xiao sneaked out of Yi Gong Clan back then, and has always regarded himself as a member of Yigong Clan since then, and has never done anything embarrassing. The boss' resentment towards Zhou Xiao seems to be because he left without saying goodbye...
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, really not knowing what to say in reply. Even if he fights hard, he doesn't seem to be an opponent.
At this time, Li Fenglan suddenly jumped out of the cave and saw Feicui confronting several people, so she ran over quickly.
"Jade, are you okay?!"
"fine."
middle aged
The man frowned and asked, "Your name is Jade? Cold-faced fairy Jade?"
Jade held back her anger and said, "As for Jade, there is no cold-faced fairy."
The middle-aged man tried his best to sit up, but Jade's acupuncture pressure was so strong that he couldn't exert any effort at all. He glanced at the young people beside him: "Don't just stare, help me sit up!"
Someone quickly ran over and helped him up. After he got up, he stared into Jade's eyes and asked, "Then what are you going to do to us?"
Jade replied: "It doesn't matter. You can go and stay away from Yeyu Xiaozhu from now on."
"Huh, are you just going to let us go?"
"Uncle Master, if you don't talk about the friendship between fellow disciples, I will talk about it."
"Then don't regret it."
Li Fenglan quickly said: "Wait a minute! Don't leave yet!"
The middle-aged man glared at Li Fenglan again: "What do you want?"
Li Fenglan heard from Feicui's words that these people were from Yigongmen, and she also knew the relationship between Yigongmen and Zhou Xiao.
Li Fenglan said helplessly: "I've already said it's not good. If Feicui calls you uncle, I have to call you uncle. I just have a few questions to ask you."
"What are you asking?"
"Let me tell you," Li Fenglan said unhappily, "can you figure out the situation? Now that we have the upper hand, can you stop dragging us down like 25,000 to 80,000? I'm just asking a few questions, and I'm not hurting you. Besides, it’s Uncle Zhou who doesn’t want to hurt you, not me. I still remember the account of besieging our Xianren Hall years ago... What are you looking at? Are you not convinced? Hold it in! Answer my questions honestly. The first one, you guys Is this the order you received: Kill Xu Zhenbiao whenever he comes into contact with me?"
"right."
"Second, why don't you kill me?"
"have no idea."
"Third, do you want to regain the Tang Clan?"
"What?"
"I'm asking you if you want to restore the Tang Clan!"
"What do you think? Otherwise, why would Zhou Xiao sneak to the Central Plains? Why are we working with Ye Yu Xiaozhu?"
"Okay," Li Fenglan smiled, "I can see that, uncle, you and Ye Yu Xiaozhu are not of the same mind. Now Jianghu doesn't know that you are cooperating with Ye Yu Xiaozhu, so you might as well follow them first. Believe me, Yeyu Xiaozhu will not tolerate you taking their jobs, and they will definitely kill you if they have the chance. But, as long as you cooperate with me, for Uncle Zhou's sake, it's hard to say whether we will be restored or not, I can guarantee you Return to the Central Plains."
The middle-aged man looked unbelieving: "How can I trust you?"
Li Fenglan was anxious: "Feelings from the same family! Feelings from the same family! Uncle Zhou has taught us this since we were young. Don't you talk about this? It's been more than 20 years, and Uncle Zhou still mentions the days of Yi Gongmen. Jade doesn't like archery, and she doesn't like mechanisms. Uncle Zhou forced her to learn, why? Isn't it just to pass on your skills? You are not sixty years old, right? Why are you acting like an old stubborn? "
The middle-aged man was a little shaken, but still kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
Li Fenglan sighed: "Forget it, you can think about it slowly. Jade, let's go."
"Wait a minute." The middle-aged man still spoke.
Li Fenglan asked: "Is there anything else?"
"Of course your Mu Yun is called Si Ye now. He is in Raozhou. Also, my name is Tang Jinzhu. Please speak politely to me."
Li Fenglan curled her lips and Jade rolled her eyes.
Li Fenglan said disdainfully: "You are so stinky, your kung fu is so bad, why do you have the nerve to show off to your uncle?"
After saying that, the two sisters ignored the Yi Gong disciple and turned around to leave.
But after taking only two steps, I heard a young man say cautiously: "Ah... what..."
The two people stopped and looked at the young man. He should be the youngest among them.
Jade asked: "Is there anything else?".
"It's okay, it's not... I'm not your senior brother... I'm your junior brother..."
After saying this, everyone else stared at him, and the young man quickly lowered his head.
Jade nodded: "Okay, I understand, junior brother."
When the two sisters walked away, the young man timidly said: "Senior sister, walk slowly..."
Tang Jinzhu turned his head hard and looked at the youngest one with a frown: "What's the matter with you?"
"Ah?" The young man replied, "No, it's okay. Shouldn't I call you Senior Sister?"
A young man next to him couldn't help but smile and said: "Junior brother, have you fallen in love with this senior sister Jade? But I have to say that she is really pretty, and that Li Fenglan is also pretty good-looking. Senior uncle, otherwise, otherwise Taking this opportunity to ask? Let’s see if they are getting married. None of our brothers are married yet. If we marry one of us, the relationship between Uncle Zhou and Master can be eased."
"Shut up! What are you thinking about every day?...Why are you standing there in a daze? Help me up!"
After they went south, Tang Jinzhu was very good at controlling things. They were not allowed to touch this or that, and the young men all got angry. Suddenly seeing beautiful and generous people like Feicui and Li Fenglan, I felt a little bit wild for a while.
Tang Jinzhu knew in his heart that Zhou Xiao would not betray Yigongmen, but he broke the rules of Yigongmen and almost broke the forbearance of Yigongmen for many years. If you want to make peace with him, let alone marrying one daughter back to Yigongmen, it is impossible to marry ten. I just said soft words on purpose just because I didn't want to make the relationship with them too tense. After all, everything can still turn around before the dust settles.
But then again, how could he teach a girl so good at archery that she learned from the master back then?
…
Li Fenglan picked up a branch from the ground and beat the reed next to her as if to vent her anger.
"Another trip in vain! Another trip in vain!"
Jade said impatiently: "Can you save some effort?"
"We finally got close, but I killed them. If it weren't for the fact that they are uncle Zhou's sect, I would definitely kill them!"
"Do you have that ability?"
"Isn't this you?"
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
Li Fenglan suddenly lost her temper, threw the branch on the ground, and said with a frown: "Jade... I seem to have done bad things with good intentions."
"Why do you say that?"
Li Fenglan told Feicui about her speech with Wei Yang in the cave. Feicui was silent for a long time after listening: "You have no good intentions at all, you just did bad things. I think you should learn from your mother."
"What should I learn from her?"
"To put it purely, revenge is revenge, and innocent people will definitely be implicated. Besides, you believe whatever others say. You two are really a good match."
Li Fenglan curled her lips and said, "I don't know which of us is her daughter... Also, you are a little more extreme than Bai Shuyu now, how could you say such heartless words?"
After saying that, Li Fenglan looked back in the direction she was looking and murmured to herself: "I'll help you clean up the mess when I get the chance."
Jade asked her: "Is the matter here settled?"
"kindness."
"Going to Yangzhou?"
"kindness."
"when are we leaving?"
"In two days... Jade, I'm so tired."
"I only walked a few steps in total, and I'm already tired."
Li Fenglan hung her arms on Jade's shoulders and said like a rogue: "You can carry me back... I can't walk anymore..."
"If you don't memorize it, you'll be too lazy."
