"Xiangbo's blood stains, and the book is full of heroic intentions.

With a sword in hand, the tiger bandit floated away with melancholy.

The cold wind destroys the flowers' love, and the fragrance is dark**.

I don’t know where to go back at a long night, and I prefer the golden cup when I am drunk."

The fire broke out, and the faint light illuminated the narrow tunnel. Everyone walked forward silently. The faint sound of fighting and vibration of the walls all reminded them that Zeng Zhixiong was fighting desperately with the pursuers. They must reach a safe place before the enemy discovered the entrance to the tunnel, otherwise Zeng Zhixiong's death would be meaningless.

Hu Qingpeng recalled his experiences over the past few days, and felt quite absurd. As a disciple of the Hengshan Sect, he not only participated in the power struggle of the underworld, but also became a key figure among them. He even worked with his senior brother to protect Zeng Zhixiong's daughter! If the head master learned about this, they would have to be severely punished. But Zeng Ying's life experience is really pitiful, and she lacks the protection of masters around her, and she also needs to avoid the pursuit of Baiyun Sect and Yanyu Tower. If they do not help, wouldn't she be slaughtered? Perhaps the true chivalrous spirit is not divided into the underworld. No matter who is in a difficult and difficult situation, he should be treated equally. As soon as he thought of this, he felt calm.

I don’t know how long I walked, the space suddenly became spacious, and a stone chamber appeared in the middle of the tunnel. After everyone entered the stone chamber, Zeng Ying found the mechanism button on the stone wall and pushed it up hard. There were only muffled sounds, mud and stones collapsed, and countless dust and smoke gushed out from the entrance of the passage when they came, choking everyone to cover their noses and retreat.

Zeng Ying let out a sigh and whispered: "This tunnel has been blocked by mud and stones, and the enemy cannot catch up! We are temporarily safe!" The arrangement of the mechanisms in this tunnel was told by Zeng Zhixiong before leaving. As long as the tunnel collapses, the road ahead will be blocked strictly in the future. Even if the enemy has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to find them.

Hu Qingpeng looked at it intently. In addition to grief, Zeng Ying's eyes were burning with flames of revenge. His tightly pursed lips showed her strength. He sighed inwardly. She was just a girl in the flower season, but she had to bear heavy responsibilities. The road ahead will be extremely difficult and dangerous, full of blood and thorns. I wonder if she can persevere?

Zhang Yukun was stunned and asked, "Miss is the implication that she wants to avoid the pursuers here for the time being?"

Zeng Ying nodded and said, "That's right! The enemy has been planning for a long time and has meticulous planning. Once an attack is launched, we will not give us a chance to break through and escape. I dare to assert that the enemy's eyeliner is full of enemy's eyes, and any movement cannot escape their eyes. Now is the time for them to be the most alert. If we show up rashly, we will be besieged by the enemy. Strike the masses with few attacks, which is not what the wise will do! In addition, Hu Lingquan betrays the most savages, which pose for the greatest threat to us! He is a local snake in Changsha, and the power here is deeply rooted, and the water and land docks and stations are all under his control. Without planning how to leave the city, we must not act rashly, otherwise we will fall into a state of irreversible destiny!"

Zhang Yukun listened to her analysis reasonable and thoughtfully, and couldn't help but admire her and said respectfully: "Everything that the lady said is reasonable, and my subordinates fully agree. It's just that the lack of food and water underground is not conducive to hiding!"

Zeng Ying smiled slightly, and the grief in her eyes became stronger and stronger, and she said, "As for this, my father has considered it a long time ago!"

It turned out that when the underground secret passage was built, Zeng Zhixiong considered the possible adverse situations in the future and prepared in advance. In addition to this core stone room, several connected secret rooms were also dug, and necessary living facilities were built, and all kinds of clean water, dry food, medicine and weapons were available. The stone room was built with a complete ventilation system, and the walls were inlaid with eternal lights. Everyone was not frustrated when they were underground.

Gao Qingcheng carefully put Zeng Ying down, looked at the blood-stained wound on her legs, and a few rare tenderness flashed in her eyes, and asked in a low voice: "You, does your wound hurt?"

Zeng Ying shook her head: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Tang Jingtian said: "I understand medical skills a little, so I might as well ask me to treat my injuries on Miss Zeng. If the arrow is not taken out as soon as possible, it will be very detrimental to the body."

Zeng Ying smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Brother Tang!"

At that moment, Hu Qingpeng and others went to count the stored items separately, and Tang Jingtian healed Zeng Ying's injuries and stopped bleeding, and took out the crossbow arrows on his leg. Although his movements were quick, Zeng Ying was injured deeply. When he pulled out the arrow, it still hurt her to death, and she was sweating like a slurry. Zeng Ying gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain, and did not make any moans during the whole process. Tang Jingtian secretly admired her. If it were ordinary people, she would have called her father and mother, but she could have endured it!

Everyone finished counting and informed each other about the situation. Zhang Yukun had a brief calculation and said, "The food stored in the stone room is only enough for the six of us to deal with for about ten days. After ten days, we will have to leave here, otherwise we will starve to death."

Tang Jingtian said: "Miss Zeng was seriously injured by arrows. Although she had applied the best golden sore medicine from the Tang Sect, it would take at least ten days to move freely."

Zhang Yukun said: "Since that's the case, we will hide for the time being and keep our troops still. No one can guess where we are hiding. This will not only avoid the limelight, paralyze the enemy, but also use this time to heal our wounds. After five or six days, when the enemy relaxes a little, I will go out to contact reliable brothers and arrange related matters for escape."

Hu Qingpeng and Gao Qingcheng looked at each other and frowned. They had been delayed for a lot of time. Even if they started to travel together at night, they might not be able to catch up with Chen Tianlei and his party. If they delayed for a few more days, they would probably not have time to attend the sword competition held in Songshan. They are the most outstanding disciples of Hengshan Sect. If they cannot attend the conference on schedule, it will greatly affect the ranking of Hengshan Sect in the next five years. Chen Tianlei will definitely scold them! Hu Qingpeng thought about the grand occasion of the Sword Competition of Songshan, and felt helpless in his heart. Now he is trapped in a vortex. It is not easy to escape, and he will lose a great opportunity to become famous. Of course, to be fair, saving his life is more important than the temptation of becoming famous. If you have no life, what's the use of those false reputations? He still sees this clearly.

Tang Xue said unhappily: "Do we want to stay in this mouse hole all the time? I won't do it! I'm going out!"

Zeng Ying sighed: "Sister Xue, anyone who knows the truth about the world will change tonight will not escape the fate of being chased and silenced. Although you are not the main target of the enemy's pursuit, the other party will not allow you to expose their conspiracy alive. For your own life, even if the conditions here are too poor, you must be patient."

Tang Xue disagreed and said, "I am proficient in disguise. As long as I change my appearance and temperament, can anyone else be able to identify me? Even if I walk on the street, I will still be safe and sound." Her disguise skills were passed down from her parents, with superb techniques. Even Hu Qingpeng, who had practiced the ability to heaven, would not be able to see through it, let alone others!

Zhang Yukun's eyes lit up, as if the drowning man had grabbed the life-saving straw, and asked overjoyed: "Is Miss Tang really proficient in disguise? Can we completely change our image to avoid the enemy's search?"

Tang Xue gave him a blank look and said, "Do you think the disguise technique is so simple? If a person wants to completely change his image, in addition to facial makeup and disguise, he also needs to change his figure, accent, skin color, hair, behavior, and the characteristics he originally came from. Especially when disguising a martial arts practitioner into an ordinary person, it is the most difficult! Because people who have practiced martial arts have extremely large eyes, temperament, posture, muscles and bones, and movements, they will reveal their feet if they are not careful, which will make people suspicious. Besides, I don't have many disguise materials on me, so I can barely change the face of the three of them. If there are more, it won't work!"

Zhang Yukun smiled bitterly and said, "Do you have to have only three people? What should I do?" Except for Tang Xue himself, the remaining five people need to be disguised, which is a difficult problem.

Zeng Ying suddenly laughed and said, "Uncle Zhang, don't make things difficult for Miss Tang and the others! They are willing to take great risks and obstruct the enemy's conspiracy. They are already kind and righteous to the world. Why should we be too selfish and not satisfied? If Miss Tang insists on leaving, let's disguise and leave together, and there is no need to consider the two of us."

Zhang Yukun said anxiously: "Miss! I don't care about my life and death, but Miss, you must not..."

Zeng Ying interrupted him and said, "Don't say it! Our own affairs can be solved by ourselves!" The phoenix eyes flashed, and he was powerful without anger.

Zhang Yukun was swept away by her eyes, and immediately felt obedient in her heart. She was secretly surprised. She was worthy of being Zeng Zhixiong's daughter, and she was born with a leader's temperament. She lowered her head and replied: "Yes!"

Tang Xue hurriedly said, "Sister Zeng, you misunderstood! I don't mean to abandon you and get out by myself. I mean that after disguise, we can change places to avoid the search, and we don't have to stay here! As for the lack of disguise materials, as long as we send someone to go out quietly to buy some, it will be solved."

Tang Jingtian shook his head and said, "Xiaoxue's proposal is inappropriate! It is better to be quiet than a movement. Be careful that you can sail a ten thousand-year-old ship. When the limelight is in full swing, we don't need to take risks. Once the stuff is exposed, we will regret it! Besides, the other party is not a fool, and most of them can think that we will disguise and escape, and will strengthen the arrangements for this. There are many strange people in the Baiyun Sect and Yanyu Tower, so we must not underestimate the enemy. I agree with the opinion of Lord Zhang, first hiding in the dark, and then waiting for an opportunity to move, which is the best choice at present."

Tang Xue pouted and said, "But staying here will make people suffocate!" She was active by nature and was really unhappy to hide in the tunnel of the dark and deep winter.

Hu Qingpeng knew how serious the danger of going out at this time was. He gently held her little hand and said, "Lier, stop making trouble! This is a life-related matter, and there is no need to be negligent. Besides, you are not alone, there are so many people accompanying you!"

Tang Xue's eyes rolled twice and said, "Then I want you to promise me something!"

Hu Qingpeng smiled and said, "As long as I can do it, just say it! I promise you it's."

Tang Xue held his generous palm and smiled and said, "Brother Peng, you are not allowed to regret what you said! I want you to tell me twenty stories every day, and you are not allowed to repeat them!"

Hu Qingpeng said in a lost voice: "Telling stories?!" He had never tried telling stories to coax girls. When he heard this, he turned into two big ones. Fortunately, he still remembers many historical stories recorded in classics such as "Records of the Grand Historian" and "The Strategies of the Warring States". Maybe he could get away with it? He smiled bitterly and said, "No problem, I will do my best." Everyone felt funny and looked at him sympathetically.

Tang Xue said: "Brother Peng, I have something to say first. If the story you tell cannot satisfy me, I will punish you!"

Hu Qingpeng smiled bitterly and said, "Okay! As long as our young lady is happy, I will punish you!" His expression was generous and awe-inspiring, as if I didn't go to hell, who would go to hell?

Tang Xue twisted him unyieldingly and said angrily: "Is it so difficult for me to serve? Others want to be punished by me, but I am too lazy to pay attention to them!" Hu Qingpeng did not dare to retaliate, so he raised his hand obediently to beg for mercy and admitted his mistake, which made her coax her into joy.

After appeased Tang Xue, everyone naturally reached a consensus and agreed to stay in the stone chamber for the time being to avoid risks. Zeng Ying looked at the sincere and fearless faces of Tang Jingtian and others, remembering the sharing of hardships since they met them, and sighed in her heart, and said emotionally: "If it weren't for my relationship, you would have been safe and would not have been chased and killed, so they were forced to hide underground. I, I have implicated you, and I feel really sorry, I don't know how to compensate in the future?" Tears appeared in the corners of my eyes, and the gratitude was beyond words.

Tang Jingtian said seriously: "Miss Zeng, we share life and death, hardships, and we have never thought about any rewards from you. If you also regard us as true friends, don't be polite to us anymore."

Zeng Ying whispered: "Can we become friends? In the eyes of the world, I am a gangster, and you are the heroes of the White Dao. How can you be friends? It would be great if you don't turn against each other and become enemies!" After that, she glanced at Gao Qingcheng intentionally or unintentionally, and her resentment was clearly visible. If she inherited her father's will and became the new leader of the World Association, her identity was despised by the heroes of the White Dao.

Hu Qingpeng felt a little nervous when he saw this. The head master attached great importance to the distinction between black, white, good and evil. If Senior Brother Gao and Zeng Ying were not involved, they would probably encounter great resistance and would not have a good result.

Tang Jingtian said: "We are the one who we are, not your identity! Even if you become the leader of the gang, you are still a friend of me, Tang! Brother Gao, what about your opinion?" He looked at Gao Qingcheng with a smile. He naturally guessed what Zeng Ying really meant, so he simply forced Gao Qingcheng to express his opinion for her.

Gao Qingcheng said without hesitation: "No matter what others say, you will be friends for a day, and you will be friends for a lifetime! I don't care about the distinction between 'black and white'!" If he really wanted to draw a clear line between the gang and the white path, he shouldn't have accepted Zeng Zhixiong's martial arts secrets just now. He lost his parents since childhood, had a strong and withdrawn personality, and would not easily accept and be close to others. However, once he regards the other party as a friend, he will never change this relationship again. Moreover, he has a good impression of Zeng Ying, and has a vague affection, and will not leave her on his own initiative.

Hu Qingpeng sighed secretly, since Senior Brother Gao had made the decision, the one who was his junior brother could only support him.

Tang Jingtian laughed and said, "Well said it! Miss Zeng, you should rest assured now, right?"

Zeng Ying blushed and spat, "Brother Tang, you are talking nonsense, what can I feel at ease?" He was happy in his heart, and diluted the grief a lot.

Zhang Yukun slapped his palms and said with a smile: "You guys are not bound by secular thoughts, never leaving friends, and having such a broad mind and knowledge are rare in the world! Since you are so close to my lady, Zhang has a suggestion - you are of the same age, why not become sworn brothers and sisters in a different surname? This will definitely become a good story in the world in the future."

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but move. Tang Xue first jumped up and agreed: "Are you a sworn brother and sister? This is quite fun! I also want to have one, you are not allowed to exclude others!"

Hu Qingpeng joked: "You are the youngest in terms of age, so you can only be the last one to be a little girl!"

Tang Xue smiled and said, "That doesn't matter! I have so many capable brothers and sisters. Who dares to bully me? Besides, if you meet something delicious and fun, you are embarrassed to compete with me, right?"

Zeng Ying gently stroked her long silky hair, and smiled and said, "I have never had brothers and sisters since I was a child, and I always feel lonely. If I could have such a cute and beautiful sister, it would be my blessing!"

Tang Jingtian smiled and said, "My sister is weird and she usually makes me feel a headache. If you are interested, please discipline her more!"

Zeng Ying looked at Gao Qingcheng and Hu Qingpeng in a blink of an eye, and the corners of his eyes were hot, and he choked and said, "I am so happy to have brothers and sisters like you in this life!" From now on, no matter how many hardships she encounters, she has someone to share. Although she is very strong, she still longs for family and friendship deep down, and longs for support and care from others. Especially in such a dangerous moment, the meaning is particularly different.

Tang Jingtian said: "The key to making friends is sincerity. The situation is special at this moment, so we don't have to make any incense tables or other things. Let's just swear by heaven, sort it by age?" Hu Qingpeng and others said in unison, "Okay!" At present, the five people reported their birth dates and eight characters. Tang Jingtian ranked first, followed by Gao Qingcheng, followed by Zeng Ying, downwards is Hu Qingpeng, and Tang Xue ranked last. The five people bowed hands three times to the empty place, and they were officially formed into brothers and sisters in the different surnames.
