Feiyun said: "Indeed, bringing a sword is too eye-catching." Mei Mingmei said: "We'd better bring the sword to be safer, just hide the swords in the Yao Qin. Anyway, the young master and his wife are traveling, and the maid is waiting with the Yao Qin on her back. That's normal." Liangchen said, "This is a good idea. We don't feel at ease if we don't bring swords." The four of them packed up their preparations again and headed towards the Twenty-Fourth Bridge with their swords and harp on their backs.
Feiyun dressed up as a rich man, while Tianxiang dressed up as a beautiful young woman. The two walked hand in hand, followed by a good time and beautiful scenery dressed as maidservants.
When we arrived at Twenty-Four Bridge, it was indeed crowded and lively. The four of them found a teahouse, drank tea and looked at the scenery. They heard that the scholar was explaining the story of the Twenty-Four Bridges in the teahouse.
The four people in Feiyun were listening in fascination when they suddenly heard the person next to them say: "Brother, have you heard? Taishou Ma was killed with a sword last night." Another person said: "Didn't the Yamen post a notice offering a reward? Catch the murderer? Anyone who provides clues will be given a heavy reward." The man said: "You believe this too, I have a relative who works in the government, and he said no one takes this seriously." Another person asked : "What's going on? He is also a dignified governor after all. How can he not pay attention to it?"
The man said: "You don't know, this prefect was originally a relative of a prince in the imperial court. After he got this position, he was greedy and unscrupulous. People in the government dared not speak out against him, so they just reported the matter It’s over, why bother catching the murderer?”
Another person said: "Isn't it right? Hasn't the city been closed down?" The person said: "The government is not trying to catch the murderer, it's just a show. If they really wanted to catch the murderer, they would have searched the whole city long ago. But look where there are people searching. The gates of the city are also strictly checking people who come in, and they don’t care about people who go out. They just want the murderer to leave the city as soon as possible. People who can openly kill people in the government office must not be ordinary people! "
After hearing this, Feiyun and Tianxiang looked at each other, then paid and left the teahouse. They said to Liangchen: "Let's go to the city gate to see if it is what the man said?" Liangchen said: "I want to take a look. If If that's the case, we can leave the city." So Feiyun, Tianxiang and others came to the south gate.
Feiyun saw that the city gate was indeed what the man said. The officers and soldiers only strictly checked the people who came in, and paid no attention to the people who left the city. Feiyun then said: "Then let's go back and clean up quickly and leave immediately to avoid a long night and many dreams." No one had any objections.
The four of them immediately rushed back to Mingyue Tower, packed up their things, and settled the expenses. Feiyun and Tianxiang got on their horses, driving the carriage towards the south gate in good time and beautiful scenery. When the officers and soldiers at the city gate saw them, they thought they were children from a wealthy family traveling, so they waved them away without asking a question.
After walking for more than an hour, we arrived at the foot of a mountain. As soon as the carriage entered a forest, dozens of people suddenly rushed out from the roadside, and Feiyun and the carriage surrounded them. Feiyun and Tianxiang took a closer look and saw that these people were all dressed in various colors and holding weapons in their hands. Feiyun thought to himself, someone really dared to block the road and rob him in broad daylight.
Feiyun signaled Tianxiang not to move, he urged his horse forward, and saluted the three people opposite him. Feiyun then asked: "Who are you and why are you blocking our way?" The man in the middle snorted coldly and shouted: "Boy, you don't deserve to know our names. Go tell the people in the car and be obedient. Hand over the gold, silver and jewelry you have on your body, lest you die!"
Feiyun sneered and said: "It turned out to be a group of robbers who blocked the road! We don't have any gold or silver, and even if we did, you wouldn't give it to you!"
The three people on the opposite side looked at each other and laughed a few times. The person on the left said: "Brother, I'll deal with him later!" The man among them nodded and replied: "Third brother, we must fight quickly." That person Then he pulled out the steel knife from his waist and walked towards Feiyun.
When Feiyun saw how cruel and rude these people were, he felt very angry and knew that he could no longer do anything good. He kicked off his feet, flew down in front of the horse, and drew out his soft sword. At this time, the man came close and raised his knife to chop.
Feiyun saw how powerful he was with his sword and thought that this man was not weak in martial arts and should not be underestimated. Feiyun's thoughts flashed in his mind. They were so numerous that they couldn't be entangled with them for too long. The only way to make them retreat is to make them feel fear first. If it turns into a group fight, even if the four of them can win, I'm afraid they will have to kill them to scare them away.
Feiyun immediately took out the folding fan and waved it forward. Suddenly, before the man could reach Feiyun, he was knocked away by a fierce wind. When the group of people saw that Feiyun had such power, they were frightened out of their wits and turned around to run away. The group of people fled quickly and soon disappeared into the woods. When Feiyun saw this, he didn't pursue him. He just smiled and continued to move forward.
The four of Feiyun walked while admiring the scenery along the way, and unknowingly they had arrived at the foot of Qixia Mountain. Suddenly dozens of people rushed out from the roadside and blocked the way. Liangchen hurriedly tightened the reins and stopped the carriage. Someone shouted: "I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, leave money to buy the road!"
Feiyun and Tianxiang looked at each other, thinking that they had encountered another strongman blocking the road. The two were about to step forward when they heard Liangchen say from the car window: "Brother, sister Tianxiang, don't take action yet. If we can't handle it, please take action again." Tianxiang knew that Liangchen's hands were itchy, so he said: " Well, I'll give you a chance to stretch your muscles and bones." Liangchen thanked her with great joy, and came to the front with the beautiful scenery.
Liangchen took a closer look and saw about forty or fifty people on the opposite side, led by two burly men, about nine feet tall and in their twenties. One big man held a big knife in his hand, and the other big man held an iron rod in his hand, standing majestically in the middle of the road. Seeing the good time and the beautiful scenery, he urged his horse to arrive. The big man holding the sword raised his sword and shouted: "Hurry up and give me the gold and silver, and I will let you pass here. Otherwise, I will leave my life here!"
However, Liangchen pretended to have a sad face and said: "Two eldest brothers, I have to let you down. We are very ordinary people, not dignitaries. This time, because our hometown was hit by a disaster, we had no other choice, so we went to seek refuge with our relatives. . You can see that we didn’t even hire bodyguards, so you can tell that we are very poor. If we had gold and silver, why would we have to go all the way to find someone else? Can you please let us go?" After that, good time. Continuously bow hands and salute
The two strong men looked at the good time and beautiful scenery, and saw that although they were dressed as maids, their dresses were made of fine silk and satin. Behind them was another very luxurious carriage. It didn't look like poor people without money. The two strong men looked at each other, and the slightly taller man on the left shook his head and said, "Don't cry poor, it's not that easy to deceive us!"
The man on the right continued: "It's easy to deal with no money. You can leave the horses, carriages and all valuable things as money to buy the road." Liangchen quickly waved his hands, looking horrified, and shouted: "That's not possible. It's still a long way from here to Youzhou. We don't have carriages and horses, so how about we go to the year of the monkey and the month of the horse? We might starve to death on the road. Please be kind and let us live. In the future If we get rich, we will repay you. How about that?"
The man on the right was very impatient and shouted: "Since you risked your life rather than your wealth, don't blame us for being ruthless!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly waved the steel knife, jumped up and rushed towards Liangchen. Meimei had been looking at the two men coldly. When she saw him suddenly attacking, she immediately pulled out her sword, jumped off the horse and faced him. Only a "ding-dong" sound was heard, and the swords collided in the air. Then the man somersaulted twice backwards and landed on the ground. The beautiful scenery fell from the sky so lightly that it was obvious that the other party's internal strength was far inferior to hers.
The strong man landed and stood firm, his expression changed greatly. He couldn't help but look at the beautiful scenery and saw that she was pretty and pretty. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She looked thin, but he didn't expect that she had great internal strength. The strong man raised his steel sword and said: "It turns out that he is a hidden master! I was careless just now, and you took advantage of it. Hit me again!" Then he jumped forward and slashed the beautiful scenery's head with the sword.
Meimei had just knocked back the opponent with a sword, so she knew that the opponent's skills were limited, so she didn't dodge and directly raised her sword to meet him. Although the man said he was careless, he actually knew that his internal strength was no match. So he didn't wait for the swords to collide, flipped his wrist, and slashed Huashan with one move. Then he swept across thousands of troops, and the steel sword came straight to the waist of the beautiful scenery.
The beautiful scenery was already prepared, and he immediately changed his moves. He swung the sword from top to bottom and still faced it directly. At the same time, Meijing also struck hard with her left palm. Meimei is introverted, unlike Liangchen who loves to joke and play. Whenever I have some free time, I go to practice sword dancing. In addition, after receiving the unique inner strength and mental method passed down by Feiyun, his internal strength has greatly increased, and his martial arts has also improved a lot, and he can almost compete with Tianxiang.
The man saw the beautiful scenery and waved his sword to meet him. He retracted the steel knife and was about to switch to another move, but he felt a strong palm force coming from the front. The man hurriedly retreated, but he didn't expect that the faster he retreated, the faster the beautiful scenery would advance. Before he could regain his footing, Meili's palm hit his chest. The man immediately yelled and was knocked backwards several feet by the force of the beautiful palm, falling to the ground.
As soon as the man landed, he wanted to jump up, but instead of jumping up, he spit out a mouthful of blood. He had obviously suffered internal injuries. Fortunately, he was hit by the wind of Mei Mei's palm instead of being hit directly by Mei Mei's left palm. Otherwise, he will be seriously injured even if he doesn't die! These few times, before the other man and the thieves could react, they saw that the strong man had been injured and fell to the ground.
These people were shocked and hurried over to check. The man holding the stick took a closer look and saw that blood was flowing from the corner of the mouth of the strong man, his eyes were closed tightly, and he had already fainted. The man hurriedly stretched out his hand to tap several acupuncture points on the strong man's chest, protecting his heart and at the same time stopping the bleeding from his mouth. The man gave a few more instructions to a few minions, and four or five minions hurriedly lifted up the fainting strong man and ran back.
