As the saying goes, "Just out of the dragon's pond, you enter the tiger's den again." Zhao Baihe, Fu Tianpeng, and Zhao Xueqing fought against the Wuji Sect's master to destroy the Wuji Sect and eliminate a major scourge for the martial arts world. However, this victory came at a heavy price. After Zhao Baihe suffered serious internal injuries, Fu Tianpeng also suffered damage to his meridians in the battle against Ouchi's guards. Now only Zhao Xueqing is left, safe and sound. Facing the remnants of the Wuji Sect who are eager for revenge and the Ouchi guards who are pursuing them, the three of them can only choose to escape in hiding, temporarily avoiding the pursuit, and return to Yue Fei's camp after recovering from their injuries.

After some discussion, Zhao Baihe told Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing that his goal with them was too big and could easily expose Xingzang. Moreover, Baihemen might also be attacked by the enemy now, so it was necessary to go back to find out. When Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing saw that Zhao Baihe had made up his mind, they could not continue to comfort him. Fu Tianpeng took off the small porcelain bottle from his waist and handed it to Zhao Baihe. Zhao Baihe took the porcelain bottle and saw that it was a mind-calming pill.

Zhao Baihe knew that this medicine had a good effect on internal injuries. After pouring out two pills, he put one of them in his mouth and used his internal energy to help heal the injury. After a while, Zhao Baihe's face gradually became rosy. After he felt that his energy and blood were slightly relieved, he said to the two of them: "My injuries are no longer serious. I can hold on and return to Baihemen. You have to leave here quickly. It's best to disguise yourself along the way to cover up your true identity." , to prevent enemies from coming to seek revenge.”

Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing nodded in agreement. After Zhao Baihe said goodbye to them, he took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun and disappeared into the distance. After Zhao Baihe left, Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, the sun is setting now and it is no longer appropriate to continue on the road. Besides, your injuries also need rest and treatment. I think we should find a place to stay."

Because of the fierce and fierce battle before, life and death depended on a thin line, Fu Tianpeng didn't feel anything strange in his body. Now that everything had calmed down, he felt the surging pain in his meridians. The leader of the Wuji Sect was vicious, and if Zhao Baihe hadn't fought against him, Fu Tianpeng's life would have been in danger. However, after being hit by his palm, it is not possible to recover in a snap. If the internal injuries are not treated, the consequences will be disastrous if the pursuers suddenly arrive. Thinking of this, Fu Tianpeng also took a calming qi pill. After a short period of exercise to heal his injuries, he hurriedly left with Zhao Xueqing.

The two walked along the southeast direction, and after walking for more than ten miles, they gradually entered a narrow path. The trail is covered with gravel, and the long and quiet path extends to the foot of the lush and fragrant mountain.

After the night fell, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing ran quickly along the path under the bright moon and bright stars. As I walked through the customs, the light and shadow suddenly shook in front of me. Zhao Xueqing's pretty face was filled with a smile. She raised her hand and pointed forward, telling Fu Tianpeng that there must be a village ahead.

When Fu Tianpeng heard this, the pain in his body immediately subsided. He replied with a strong and strong voice: "Sister Qing, this is great. With a place to rest, I can rest my mind and feel at ease."

The two of them quickened their pace and went down the slope. They arrived in front of a small Chaimen courtyard, and Zhao Xueqing knocked gently on the door. Soon, an old man with a cane and a hunched back came out. After opening the firewood door, the old man looked at Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing. His sunken eye sockets and wide-open eyes shot out two sharp rays of light. After Fu Tianpeng looked at him, he couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.

However, the deadlock was quickly broken, and the old man first smiled at the two of them. Fu Tianpeng then cupped his fists and saluted the old man. Before he could speak, the old man turned sideways and made way for him. Then the old man said to Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing: "You two are fooling around. When you came to a remote deserted village, you must have missed the time to pitch in. My hut is simple, so you can make do with it for one night, and we can start our journey tomorrow morning."

Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing stopped being polite after seeing the old man knowing their purpose. The two followed the old man straight into the house. The old man set up the table and stools, boiled a pot of hot wine, and then said to Fu Tianpeng: "Young man, please wait for me for a while while I go out to get some wild wild herbs."

After Fu Tianpeng thanked the old man, the old man twisted his silver beard in his hand, smiled, and turned around and went out. At this time, Fu Tianpeng was only warming himself up with hot wine. After Zhao Xueqing turned her head and glanced at the old man's back, a nervous expression appeared between her beautiful eyebrows.

Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, don't drink yet. After I take a look at the terrain here and confirm that there is no danger, I will have a good drink with you."

Fu Tianpeng reminded Zhao Xueqing to be more careful. After Zhao Xueqing nodded in agreement, she went out with the Chanjuan sword in hand. She used Qinggong and slowly approached the woodshed. I heard the people inside whispering. One of them said: "Now Mr. Xiao is searching everywhere for the whereabouts of Fu's boy. You have to be careful. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime fortune."

The old man then asked: "What kind of once-in-a-lifetime wealth?"

The man from before replied: "As long as you catch the boy named Fu, whether he is dead or alive, you will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold."

When the old man heard this, he showed greed in his speech and behavior. He told the other party that now there were two strangers in his home. Although they were not dressed like people from the martial arts world, they were able to come to this remote village late at night, so they must have practiced kung fu and martial arts. Otherwise, why don't they look tired?

After listening to the old man's story, the man asked the old man to hold Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing steady, and then wait for an opportunity to capture them. The old man told the man that he decided to tamper with the food and wine so that he could capture them in one fell swoop.

The man smiled and nodded. He asked the old man to go back quickly to avoid unnecessary suspicion due to long nights and long dreams. The old man turned around and was about to leave, but Zhao Xueqing immediately pulled back. After returning to the house, Zhao Xueqing told the story of the old man's conspiracy with that person. Fu Tianpeng was furious when he heard this and drew out his Bibo sword to kill the old man.

However, Zhao Xueqing stopped him. Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, if you rashly attack the old man, you will definitely alert the man in the woodshed. If he escapes in this way, our situation will be dangerous."

Zhao Xueqing's words made Fu Tianpeng wake up from a dream. He almost paid the price for his recklessness. In order to achieve the goal of capturing the enemies one by one, Fu Tianpeng began to implement the strategy according to Zhao Xueqing's instructions.

The sound of random footsteps was getting closer and closer, and the two knew that the old man was back. At this moment, Fu Tianpeng was pouring wine and said: "Good wine, really good wine." When the old man heard this from outside, his mouth was so happy that he couldn't close it.

When he came in, Fu Tianpeng expressed his gratitude to him again. The old man waved the mountain mushrooms and Hericium in front of Fu Tianpeng. He asked the two of them to wait for a while while he finished cooking the food, and then poured them wine.

Fu Tianpeng thanked him and said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, the old man is kind enough to let us stay here for the night, but we can't just sit back and enjoy the benefits. You go and help my father-in-law with the work and clean these mushrooms."

Just as the old man was about to refuse, Zhao Xueqing had already followed. The old man thought to himself: Hum hum, I have already done my homework, and now you are cooking the food yourself, which eliminates my suspicion. "

While the old man was thinking, he turned around and turned on the stove. Zhao Xueqing took advantage of his unpreparedness and slapped him to death with her palm. Then, according to the content of the conspiracy between the man in the woodshed and the old man, she led the man in the woodshed over.

After hearing the secret message, the man in the woodshed opened the door of the hut. The moment he opened the door, Fu Tianpengfei stepped forward, using steel tongs and iron hands to perform a "ape-picking fruit" move, and immediately twisted the man's arm.

The man's face was horrified, and he quickly kicked Fu Tianpeng in the chest with a series of mandarin duck kicks. Fu Tianpeng struggled with his arms, grabbed the man's legs, and threw him down. The man fell to the ground on his back.

When he was still resisting, Fu Tianpeng pressed the blue wave sword against his choked throat. Fu Tianpeng said to this man: "Tell me quickly, is the Mr. Xiao you are talking about Xiao Jianqiu?"

After hearing Fu Tianpeng's question, this man immediately laughed and said: "Boy, I can't take you down with my own hands. It's really God's will. Winner or loser, I have nothing to say. You want to take it from my mouth?" , asking for even a shred of information is simply a dream.”

Seeing that this man was stubborn, Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, it is useless to keep this guy. Since he is so unafraid of death, let him be fulfilled."

After saying that, Zhao Xueqing faced the wind with one palm and used all her strength to hit the man on the top of his head. Fu Tianpeng immediately stopped him. He said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, we didn't get any valuable information. It would be a pity to get rid of him like this."

After hearing this, Zhao Xueqing sneered at this man and said, "If he doesn't speak, it means he has told us everything. This guy must be another spy sent by the Kingdom of Jin to perform a secret mission in the Song Dynasty."

After confirming Zhao Xueqing's words, the man looked at her with big beady eyes. He said tremblingly: "You..., how did you know?"

Zhao Xueqing smiled and said: "Xiao Jianqiu betrayed his master and defected to the Kingdom of Jin. Who among the people in the world would obey him? Who can be driven by him if he is not from the Kingdom of Jin?"

When the man saw Zhao Xueqing reveal his identity with just one sentence, he roared, spit out a stream of blood and died immediately. At this time, Zhao Xueqing took Fu Tianpeng and rushed to the firewood shed. The two of them found an iron baggage behind the piled firewood.

Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, look at this gossip."

Fu Tianpeng took a closer look at the Bagua and found that the Xunzhen above was out of position and the order and orientation were reversed. After he rearranged the gossip, a secret door opened in front of the two of them.
