〇[-]. Chen Family Treasure

"You old man, you cry like hell in the morning!"

A rough voice roared loudly, accompanied by the crisp sound of porcelain shattering, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the lobby.

The guy didn't lie last night, the inn was indeed full of people.It was time for breakfast, and most of them gathered in the lobby, except for a few traveling merchants in blue cloth robes, the rest were almost all dressed up.The one who yelled this sentence just now was a tall man in a maroon brocade coat, with a long knife pinned to his back, and was glaring at the two people in the corner—a little girl and an old man.The little girl looked no more than six or seven years old, she was wearing a double bun, her face was so dirty that she couldn't see her face clearly, and only one pair of eyes was clean from head to toe; looking at the old man, she was dressed in tatters, Holding a huqin in his arms, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, his eyelids shrunk and scorched, he was obviously blind.Presumably the grandfather and grandson took advantage of the opening of the inn in the morning and wanted to ask for a little money from the guests who came to eat, but they didn't know what song they sang, which offended the old man.

The old beggar was startled by the roar, and flinched back a bit, but the man in the red brocade coat didn't give up: "What are you singing about 'broken paper', 'bad threshold', and what kind of 'judgment', 'Soul disappearing' is to curse me to death, right? Come to the door early in the morning to find bad luck, and see if I don't trample on your broken piano!"

As he spoke, he strode over and bent over to snatch his huqin. Ye Tianci frowned, but he heard Chu Loufeng laugh bitterly next to him: "It's "Order of Guigui"—Ask Qin Huai's old window room , The torn paper faces the wind, the broken sill meets the tide, the eyes are broken and the soul disappears... It’s really not an auspicious word, no wonder it’s a basket.”

"you dare!"

Seeing that all the guests had no intention of standing up for the old beggar, it was the little girl who spread her arms and stood in front of him.The old beggar hurriedly shouted "Gui'er!" in panic, but it was too late. The man in brocade clothes pushed the little girl aside with one hand, and grabbed the little girl in his arms with the other, but suddenly said "Hey Yo", covering her face. Whispering with pain on his arms.

"Who did it?!"

With a roar, he crushed a chopstick on the ground a few times.It was just this thing that hit the Xiaohai acupoint on his elbow. Although there was no injury, half of his arm is still numb.He looked in the direction where the chopsticks were flying, and finally fixed his eyes on Tang Fei - he saw only a single chopstick placed on the porridge bowl in front of him.The man in brocade yelled angrily, "Zheng" pulled out the long knife behind his back, and rushed towards him!

Tang Fei sneered slightly, and with a flick of his finger, everyone saw that the other chopstick on the bowl also jumped up suddenly, and the long knife was deflected a little, and it was slashing down against his shoulder—this blow did not There was no strength at all, pure ingenuity was used, and someone in the lobby suddenly cheered.

The man in the bay red brocade robe saw that he had lost his sword, and when he saw the young man in front of him with a calm expression, even if the blade was cut close to his body, he didn't show any panic, and his heart was at a loss.In fact, he didn't intend to really hurt the killer at first, he just wanted to teach this arrogant boy a lesson, but now he was taught a lesson by the other party, it was really a dilemma.

During the stalemate, I suddenly heard someone laughing and saying: "There is good wine, good scenery, and music to listen to. Why should you be angry, brother?"

The person who spoke was Chu Loufeng, as if unaware of the imminent atmosphere around him, he stood up and bowed his sleeves to the man in the brocade robe: "We were the ones who offended you first, please forgive me."

Seeing that this man was so resigned, Tang Fei couldn't help raising his eyebrows, but Pei Taiyue held down his wrist, so he had no choice but to hold back.Sure enough, the other party got the steps, so he put the knife back into the sheath, snorted and said: "Young master, you are serious."

The judges who were expecting a fight at first, could not help but be disappointed to see that the two sides turned the fight into friendship so lightly and skillfully.Chu Loufeng was still smiling, but he just walked up to the brocade robed man and sat down, saying, "This brother is from Chang'an?"

The brocade robed man was taken aback for a moment, then frowned vigilantly: "Why are you asking this?"

Chu Loufeng glanced at the wine glass that had just been thrown on the ground by the other party, and said with a smile, "Acacia Maple Leaf Pill, a curtain of wind and moon white——Brother Taiwan really tastes good."

"It's indeed Fengyuebai from Huyuege." The man turned pale, shaking the wine pouch on the table, "The wine from the south is too weak, I'm not used to it."

"Brother, it's just..." Chu Loufeng smiled, "I'm afraid I won't be able to drink Gusu with such a bag of love and beauty?"

The man in brocade robe suddenly raised his head, and even the inn fell silent for a moment.It seemed that the word "Gusu" contained some kind of incantation, which made everyone silent involuntarily.

After a moment of silence, a skinny old man closest to them said in a hoarse voice: "You two, are you also looking for the treasure of the Chen family?"

"It's good to join in the fun, if you can find something, it's not a loss for nothing."

Chu Loufeng answered casually, but the old man shook his head: "It's been 19 years, do you really believe the rumors that are just rumors?"

"Believe it or not, what does it matter? Anyway..."

The chattering voices of the guests gradually overwhelmed the conversation between the two. Obviously, everyone came because of the rumor, and because everyone knew it, they had no scruples, and the lobby became lively again.

Speaking of the Chen family, it was originally a prominent family in Gusu, who passed down their family by casting weapons.Although it is not as famous as Tibetan Sword and Ba Dao, it has also produced many famous soldiers.However, such a good family was suddenly wiped out overnight 19 years ago, and all 130 people were killed.This tragedy caused an uproar in the Jianghu. Everyone said that the Patriarch of the Chen family went to the Western Regions and obtained a few precious stones, and even conceived it as a crime.

A month ago, I suddenly left a message from nowhere, saying that someone found a half-destroyed secret road in the ruins of the Chen family mansion, and the other end seemed to lead directly to the sea.The brave ones went down to investigate with pearl-picking scuba, but most of them were folded inside.According to those who escaped with their lives by chance, there are many traps in the secret passage, and there are thick stone doors that cannot be opened by manpower blocking the way.

As soon as the news came out, people from all walks of life naturally geared up and rushed to Gusu, hoping to get a share of the pie. They only waited for the ten-year-long tide on October [-] to recede to expose the cave entrance, and then blasted open the stone gate to find out. .

Tang Fei listened to other people's heated discussions for a while, and felt bored, so he turned his attention back, and suddenly found that Ye Tianci, who was opposite him, was also in a trance. Confused and half stunned, but a pair of eyes are as black as a deep pool.

He had seen this man's playful and foolish appearance many times, but this was the first time he had seen this expression. For some reason, Tang Fei felt as if a sudden bump in his heart made him feel a little uneasy.

Pei Taiyue also noticed Ye Tianci's abnormality, so she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of him a few times.The latter immediately came back to his senses and blinked blankly: "Boss, what's wrong?"

"I received the letter last night. Taking advantage of the momentum of everyone rushing south, a lot of arrogance has taken advantage of the chaos to sneak into this area," Pei Taiyue lowered his voice, whispering in a voice that only three people could hear , "But now there are fish and dragons in Fenghua Valley, and it is impossible for the Valley of the Wicked to monitor them one by one."

"Are you going to sneak into the apricot forest secretly?" Ye Tianci frowned, "That's how the stronghold of Fenghu village was lost last time. If it wasn't for the brothers who tried their best to turn the tide, the entire Fenghua Valley would have been lost. What do those mice call themselves 'Order of the Sky' , There are no ghosts', but he acts like a villain than a villain."

Pei Taiyue shook her head: "If we really want to talk about it, we will never be aboveboard. There is no right or wrong between the camps... But if it is a scout, there are too many people, I am afraid What are they doing?"

Ye Tianci hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "You mean, are they going to seize Jinshui Town?"

"Correct."

"Then what are you afraid of?" Ye Tianci spread his hands indifferently, "Jinmen Pass was personally deployed by Commander Tang. The rats are overwhelmed, so just let them go."

Hearing Ye Tianci mention Tang Ruhui, Tang Fei nodded in agreement: "My master's organ formation should be able to defeat a hundred."

Unexpectedly, Pei Taiyue smiled wryly: "That's what I'm afraid of..."

The two were very puzzled, and saw that Pei Taiyue dipped his fingers into the residual tea in the cup, and briefly outlined the borders of Fenghua Valley, Luoyang, Jinshui Town and Luodao on the table.Ye Tianci stared at the picture for a while, and suddenly realized: "Could it be that you are afraid of Commander Qin—"

He stopped talking abruptly, Pei Taiyue nodded slightly, but Tang Fei next to him didn't understand, and only frowned, "What's the relationship between Commander Qin and my master?"

"The current forces in the Valley of the Wicked are Qin Si and your master Tang Ruhui, who are equally divided, and they have always been in dire straits. However, the plague broke out in Hongliangang half a year ago, and it almost became a dead city, which also allowed Haoqi to take advantage of it," Pei Taiyue said in his tone. After a slight pause, he looked in Ye Tianci's direction and saw him pursing his lips slightly, "And the person who caused all this is Tianci's former partner. According to his seniority, he is your senior brother in the castle and your master's great love." Will. This incident has caused your master to lose the hearts of the people in the valley, so he had to sell part of his power, and entrusted Hongliangang to Commander Qin to 'manage' him."

Tang Fei blinked his eyes half-understood, and asked again: "But Hongliangang is a dead city, so what's the point of giving it to him?"

Pei Taiyue asked back: "If you are Haoqi and want to go to Jinmen Pass, which way is the best?"

"From Fenghuzhai to Luoyang, and then to Jinmenguan is the shortest route," Tang Fei looked at the water-painted map on the table, "Also, go to Hongliangang from Qiuyubao; or go to Hongliangang from Fenghuzhai. "

Pei Taiyue nodded, dipped in some water, and drew a few long arrows on the table: "Fenghuzhai to Luoyang is the safest way, and we are naturally the most prepared; it is hard not to get caught when walking from Autumn Rain Castle." It was found that if it was exposed halfway, it would be a waste of time; and now that the plague is rampant in Hongliangang, everyone can't avoid it—”

"If the rats do the opposite and sneak attack from Luodao, I'm afraid that Jinmen will be closed in a hurry and it will be difficult to continue," Ye Tianci continued Pei Taiyue's words, "Once Qiuyubao, Jinmenguan, Fengmen The lake villages are connected in a line, and the isolated city of Qingyunwu will be destroyed!"

He connected those strongholds with one stroke. Tang Fei stared blankly at the water stains on the table, and then he figured out what was going on, but he still said in a low voice: "So, you are worried that Commander Qin will deliberately relax Honglian. Let the guards of the post go to the mouse? But, even if he is at odds with my master, isn't he still the commander of the Valley of the Evil?"

Both of them were startled, and after looking at each other, Ye Tianci smiled wryly: "It's just our villain's heart... But Hongliangang is very careful, so we should be careful."

After being silent for a while, Pei Taiyue said softly: "I ordered someone to send a letter to Jinshui last night, but I was still not sure. I want to go there by myself. There is still one month before October [-]th. The matter of the Chen family's treasure , let it go for now."

Ye Tianci nodded in agreement, and suddenly heard a crisp voice calling: "Big brother!"

The three of them turned their heads when they heard the sound, and it turned out that it was the little beggar girl named "Gui Er", who at some point dragged the blind old man to their table.Ye Tianci reached into his bosom, took out a bunch of copper coins and wanted to hand them to her, but he didn't expect that Gui'er stepped back, put his hands behind his back, and said crisply: "Thank you for your help, the two of us can't believe it." I only want to thank my benefactor with a song!"

Seeing her serious appearance, Ye Tianci couldn't help but burst into a "puchi" laugh, and even the corners of Pei Taiyue's lips curled up slightly: "Who taught you these clichés?"

"The brother in black who is with you!" Gui'er turned around and pointed back, only to see that Chu Loufeng was still sitting at the same table with the big man in the maroon brocade robe, but they had already chatted with each other shoulder to shoulder, laughing. Very happy.Seeing them looking at him, Chu Loufeng turned his head and smiled brightly, beckoning to her again.The little girl also jumped up and waved at him, then she turned around and said, "The brother in black asked me to sing a song for my brothers - he said this song represented his heart, the one in white Brother will understand."

"...Me?" Pei Taiyue was taken aback for a moment, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

Just as the few people were talking, the old blind man was already sitting on the ground, and with a light stroke of the bow, there was a sound of the piano pouring out like flowing water.The little girl also followed the tune and sang clearly: "If you don't love lovesickness in your life, you will love it, and you will hurt lovesickness..."

Ye Tianci sprayed water on the table.

"...The body is like floating clouds, the heart is like flying catkins, and the breath is like gossamer. There is a lingering fragrance in the sky, what can I hope for a thousand gold wanderers..."

It is still a song "Order of Gui Gui", but it is quite different from the previous one, it is so lingering that it seems to be carved into the bones.Such a charming tune, sung by a young girl's immature voice, does not have a lot of interest.

"...When the syndrome comes, exactly when? When the lights are half dim, when the moon is half bright. It's lovesickness!"

After a song was sung, Guier looked at the three of them eagerly, Pei Taiyue finally couldn't help putting his hand on his forehead, and said insincerely, "Thank you, I... like it very much."

Ye Tianci dared to swear that at that moment, he definitely saw that Pei Taiyue blushed again.

The author has something to say: Note 1, there is no Suzhou on the map of Jiansan. I estimated the location, which is probably in the middle of Jinshui Town, Shaolin, Yangzhou, and Daoxiang Village.
