Qishui went north, and soon it entered the depths of the Dabie Mountains. The mountains and rivers were far away, and they were very different from those in the Central Plains. At this time, they had entered Luotian County, but the four of them still didn't know where to look for Zeng Jinyi. They only asked aimlessly on the street if they had seen a girl like Zeng Jinyi. In fact, they were not very familiar with Zeng Jinyi. They knew that they would never be able to find her. They just had to do their job in the hope that a miracle would happen.
At this time, a gust of wind swept over, the sun was overcast, and the ground was dark. When I looked up, a large dark cloud was floating in the sky, and a mountain rain was about to come.
"It's not a problem for us to search like this. Let's work separately! As long as we are familiar with the local situation and follow the clues, there will always be clues." Li Rufeng suggested.
"That's okay, but to be on the safe side it's better to split into two groups and meet here in the evening." Fang Lingyan also wanted to search separately, and looked at Feng Yanlang sideways as she spoke.
Feng Yanlang also agreed with searching separately, but he liked to be independent and wanted to act alone, but Fang Lingyan's suggestion was not unreasonable. Besides, he knew exactly what the sneaking look meant. Although he didn't dare Facing this rather fierce-looking senior sister alone, I didn't dare to speak out, so I had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Junior sister, who are you with?" Li Rufeng looked at Fang Lingyan eagerly, hoping that Fang Lingyan would choose him.
"With you... I'm afraid of annoying you to death, so I'd better go and bother Yanlang!" Fang Lingyan made a face. It is easy for her to get rid of painful emotions. Instead of doing painful things in pain, it is better to face painful things happily.
Feng Yanlang didn't say anything. He hugged his fists and walked forward. Fang Lingyan hurriedly followed.
Li Rufeng smiled and shook his head: "They didn't know who was tormenting whom along the way!" After saying that, he felt like he had lost something.
"Where are we going?" Jing Yunpeng asked.
"Find a tavern and sit down, there is a lot of information there," Li Rufeng said.
The two of them walked around the city and finally found a wine shop that looked good. They went in and took a seat. They ordered some snacks and ordered a jar of wine to eat. They listened to the few people in the wine shop chatting. Rambling.
Jing Yunpeng ate happily. Although he didn't know whether Senior Brother Li's method would work, he could never come up with this method himself, and he still admired it in his heart.
After a while, the rain started pouring down, and there were suddenly more people in the wine shop. Blow by the wind, from time to time a few drops of rain splashed from the window onto the dishes on the table inside. Li Rufeng didn't seem to notice, picking up the rain-soaked dishes one bite at a time and eating them.
"Senior Brother, where do you think Senior Sister and the others are? Are they sheltering from the rain somewhere?" Jing Yunpeng actually joked.
Li Rufeng rolled her eyes at him: "Eat yours, why do you care so much?" He stuffed the dish he was going to put into his mouth into Jing Yunpeng's mouth. To be honest, I really can't help but think about this situation, but if I keep thinking about it, I will naturally become upset.
Suddenly, from the noisy crowd, I heard someone laughing: "Did you know that the disabled son of the Fu Yuan's wife in the west of the city actually got a wife?"
"How do you know? The Fu family has always lived in seclusion. Are you just making up lies to deceive others?" Another person said
"How can it be possible? We are already planning a wedding. My sister and her husband are married in the Fu family. Is there any truth in what I said?" said the person in front.
Another person said: "Huh? Mr. Fu must be in his thirties. His legs are slightly disabled and he has never found a wife. How come someone is suddenly willing to marry him?"
Another person said: "That's not necessarily the case. He is rich and has quite a lot of land at home. It's not necessarily that someone likes his family property."
"I don't think so. Haven't you heard that although Mr. Fu's legs are disabled, his heart is not stupid at all. He feels that those who are interested in him are here for his family's money, so he refuses to marry a wife. , and even persuaded the old man to help adopt an orphan and adopt him as his adopted son. How could no one like such a person?" said the person in front.
"It seems that Mr. Fu is a good man!" Jing Yunpeng couldn't help but chime in with praise.
"Haha... You are all wrong. That girl was bought. I heard that someone came to her door to sell her."
"You're farting again. Didn't you say that Mr. Fu doesn't want to marry? Why are you suddenly willing to do it again?"
"You don't know this. Mr. Fu moved here thirty years ago. He brought many urns with him. It is said that they all belong to his family, and one of them is his daughter. The old lady has always wanted to have a daughter. , this time she was originally kept as a daughter. Unexpectedly, Mr. Fu fell in love with the girl as soon as he saw her, and changed his past temper." The person who spoke before said.
"Hey...Old Tiantou, how do you know so much?" The group of people chatted about other things, and soon they talked about household matters.
Over here, Li Rufeng and Jing Yunpeng were secretly happy. They didn't expect to have a clue so quickly. According to what these people said, the daughter-in-law bought by the Fu family is probably Zeng Jinyi. Anyway, let’s go and take a look first. After cleaning the battlefield, the two of them left the wine shop and headed west of the city in the rain. After asking around at the west gate of the city, I found out that Mr. Fu had moved to the local area from outside the city. He lived by the river outside the west gate of the city. His family had quite a lot of money and many local people helped him.
Now, you can go directly. Li Rufeng and the others thanked the guide. Not long after they left the west city gate, they saw a river with a wooden plank bridge on it. They thought they could see the Fu family courtyard after crossing the bridge.
By this time, the rain had almost stopped. Suddenly, more than a dozen figures jumped out from the roadside on the left and right, surrounding the two of them.
"Haha... You two can make it easy for us to find you," the leader inside said with a sly smile.
"Who are you?" Li Rufeng was upright.
"Senior brother, he is Zhou Huanyang from Songshan. I have met him." Jing Yunpeng glared at him.
It turned out that the Songshan sect had found out about Feng Yanlang and had gone all the way to Luotian. Unexpectedly, they found Jing Yunpeng in the wine shop. During the tracking, they knew that the two of them were coming here, so they ambush him here.
"Hahaha... Good boy, you have vision. There is no traitor like Feng Yanlang coming to save you now. What do you think, follow me obediently or leave your head and be taken away by me?" Zhou Huanyang raised his lips, and all his subordinates asked. He shouted and rushed forward.
"Hmph... It just so happens that I have nowhere to vent my anger and energy, so I'll give it to you!" Jing Yunpeng seemed to be getting what he wanted, which made Li Rufeng quite moved.
Although the Confucian Five Schools are from the same sect, the swordsmanship of the five sects actually has its own characteristics. This is also because their masters taught the kung fu separately, and each apprentice learned it differently. Now the two of them have to deal with more than a dozen Songshan disciples, and they don't know each other's details, so they probably won't be able to get a good deal. As expected, Jing Yunpeng, who boasted that he was outstanding among the young disciples of Hengshan, did not benefit from Zhou Huanyang's seven or eight rounds.
Li Rufeng thought to himself that he couldn't get to Fu's house if he was pestered by these people at this time, but it would take a lot of effort to get rid of them. It would be better to trick them back first, and wait for Feng Yanlang and Fang Lingyan to arrive to deal with these tails together. Thinking of this, he shouted "Stop" and said leisurely: "Brother Zhou, are you looking for Mr. Feng? Why don't I take you there."
Zhou Huanyang was startled: "If you meet Feng Yanlang, bring this kid back." This was one of Feng Ji's tasks, but why did Li Rufeng tell him so easily? "For a moment, he didn't dare to believe Li Rufeng easily.
Jing Yunpeng was also stunned, wondering what kind of medicine Senior Brother Li was selling in his gourd.
"Believe it or not, I went to find him first anyway." After Li Rufeng said that, he took Jing Yunpeng back and went to the place where he and Feng Yanlang agreed to meet in the evening.
Zhou Huanyang thought for a while and had no choice but to ask his subordinates to follow them.
In the evening, Feng Yanlang was still nowhere to be seen. Zhou Huanyang was sure that he had been tricked, and became angry, so he came over with his sword again.
This week Huanyang was halfway up the mountain, but it was actually Jin Yiwei who arranged for him to be the spy at Songshan. His martial arts was not weak before he went up the mountain. He is different from other disciples. He is good at using a broadsword and acts very viciously. He usually does not show his sharp edge and only listens to Feng Ji's orders. He is the right-hand man who colludes with Feng Ji and Ji Gang.
I saw Zhou Huanyang's broadsword slashing at Li Rufeng. The tiger was like a tiger, and it was really powerful enough to cut through Mount Huashan.
Li Rufeng blocked the blade with his sword and slid it along the handle towards the tip, forcibly neutralizing the momentum.
This one is also very particular. When Zhou Huanyang's sword strikes, the force is naturally transmitted along the handle to the tip, so the sliding of Li Rufeng's sword must also be transferred with the force.
Even so, Li Rufeng was forced to take half a step back. Zhou Huanyang used his sword to finish off Li Rufeng's lower body with his sword.
Li Rufeng didn't dodge, he raised his sword and stabbed Zhou Huanyang's Mingmen, actually using offense as defense.
Zhou Huanyang knew that if he continued to sweep away, they would both die, so he had no choice but to raise his head, fold his upper body back, and turn the knife in his right hand to move upward to the left. In this way, he switched from attack to defense, and the opportunity was lost.
If they were fighting alone, there was no telling who would win between Li Rufeng and Zhou Huanyang, but this was a group fight. Li Rufeng not only had to fend off Zhou Huanyang, but also had to deal with the swarming attack from that group of people.
Looking at Jing Yunpeng again, he was also surrounded by a group of people. He swung his sword down with a solid blow, without any loopholes, but without any new ideas. He was sweating and panting from the fight. It would be extremely lucky if Feng Yanlang and Fang Lingyan appeared at this time.
His hope was not in vain. Just when the two sides were exhausted from the fight, Fang Lingyan appeared. She stared at it before joining the battlefield. The situation immediately developed in the direction Li Rufeng expected, but no matter how much he looked back, he couldn't see Feng Yanlang's shadow.
Among that group of people, Zhou Huanyang was the only one with pretty good martial arts skills. Originally, Feng Ji told him that his mission was mainly to detect Feng Yanlang's whereabouts. When he saw Jing Yunpeng, he felt that the opportunity was too good to miss. He didn't expect that if he failed to steal the chicken, he would lose the rice. . With the addition of Fang Lingyan, a vital force, Zhou Huanyang and his group of subordinates were knocked to the ground within a few rounds, and they all ran away with their heads in their hands.
"Where is Junior Brother Feng?" Jing Yunpeng was quick to speak and asked as soon as the fight ended.
"Hmph, don't mention him, he makes me so angry." Fang Lingyan became angry, put her hands on her hips, and paced back and forth. She only said that I was so angry, but didn't say why, which made Li Rufeng and Jing Yunpeng look at each other.
"Senior sister, Mr. Feng has gone too far. He went to play alone and left you to us." Jing Yunpeng actually made a joke, which made Fang Lingyan very angry.
"What a good boy, you dare to bully me," Fang Lingyan said, grabbing Jing Yunpeng's ears and teaching her a lesson, making Jing Yunpeng's face turn red and he couldn't help but beg for mercy.
"Junior sister, I think with his ability, he is better alone than with several people. If we stay with him, we will only cause him trouble." Li Rufeng saw it clearly and smiled as he watched Jing Yunpeng being bullied. He seemed to enjoy it. And he seemed jealous.
"Brother, you still make fun of me." From Fang Lingyan's point of view, Li Rufeng felt a little embarrassed when she said that she was the one who caused trouble for Feng Yanlang. The key is that she simply felt that she had caused trouble for Feng Yanlang. Only then was he dumped.
"Okay, Junior Sister, how dare I make fun of you! Let's go find Sister Jinyi! We have found out her whereabouts."
What Li Rufeng said made Fang Lingyan temporarily forget about damn Feng Yanlang. After all, their purpose of coming here seemed to be coming true.
