Chapter 12 The Crisis Emerges
Hu Qingpeng said slowly: "Brother Li, do we have to meet in life and death?"
Li Shan was silent for a moment and said, "If you can take my sword, I will turn around and leave, and keep the secret for you for twelve hours. If you lose, I will take the woman named Yi away, and you will not stop you. How about it?"
Hu Qingpeng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "A gentleman's word!"
"It's hard to chase after all!"
Hu Qingpeng pulled his sword out of the sheath, bowed downwards with the tip of the sword, and said, "Brother Li, no matter what the victory or defeat, I am still grateful to you for giving me this opportunity. I hope you will do your best later and let your brother learn about your tricks!"
Li Shan smiled and said, "I won't let you down!" His arm moved slightly, and the green light was dazzling, and a treasure sword engraved with dragon patterns was already crossing his chest. His left palm gently stroked the blade, as if he was caressing the most beautiful lover, and said, "This knife is called 'Liefeng', which is made of the thousand-year-old cold iron of the South China Sea. It is three feet, three inches, and weighs 36 kilograms and six liang. It blows hair and cuts its hair, and there is no trace of blood. Be careful!"
Hu Qingpeng was determined and did not feel afraid because the other party held a sword. He said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Please!" He stretched his limbs and showed his sword. The battle between masters was mainly about the competition of momentum. If one party lost his fighting spirit, he would fall into a passive state. He knew the mystery. The spiritual platform was clear in his concentration, and the long sword was buzzing and whistling, expressing his desire to fight.
Li Shan nodded secretly. Although his opponent was young, he had a lot of experience in the battle! He pointed his sword forward and pointed his eyes with the knife. His spirit quickly condensed, pushing his fighting spirit to the top in an instant, and spit out a dazzling sword light at the tip of the knife.
When the two of them touched each other, strong wind suddenly rose, and sand and stones flew.
Hu Qingpeng was extremely calm. Since Li Shan proposed a single sword to decide the outcome, he would definitely take the initiative to attack and use the most fierce killing move. As long as he dealt with this move, today's bet would be considered a winner. With the sword technique he learned by Guanshui, he was confident that he would not be injured by his opponent's sword, so there was no need to attack. He stood quietly in the darkness, like a lonely peak or a pine tree, and seemed to not care how fierce the storm was. For a moment, Hu Qingpeng even felt that he had transcended the battle situation in front of him, integrated into the world and was completely selfless.
Li Shan suddenly realized that Hu Qingpeng's momentum had undergone a mysterious change, and it was integrated with the world, impeccable, so that he could not find any flaws! Moreover, Hu Qingpeng's expression was calm and natural, neither anxious nor dry, as if he could maintain this state forever. If he was full of energy, he would lose his sword energy. His sword energy had been triggered to the peak. The longer the stalemate was dragged, the more unfavorable the result was. He was a decisive person, and he shouted suddenly, like a spring thunder blew on the flat ground. The light of the sword flashed, and the man and the knife were slashed.
As the blade passed, the air suddenly became hot and seemed to be about to burn.
At this moment, Hu Qingpeng moved. The long sword in his hand seemed slow and fast, and instantly weaved a sword net of thousands of threads. The sword momentum was continuous, as if it was endless water flowing back and forth in a closed space. The trajectory of each time was different, but it was deeply in line with the principles of heaven and earth, which made people sincerely admire.
The long sword is strong and the sword net is feminine. When the swords and swords meet, they only hear the jingling sounds as dense as pearls and rain. In the blink of an eye, they can't break through the thick sword net. However, seeing the opponent's long sword is everywhere, it is almost everywhere. If you don't withdraw from the sword net, you will suffer a great loss!
The figure suddenly merged and parted, and Li Shan jumped back. Hu Qingpeng did not pursue him. He condensed his sword and pointed at the ground. The battle situation changed from movement to stillness, and the needle fell to the ground.
Li Shan laughed, turned around and left, saying, "Since ancient times, heroes have emerged as young men, and the waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves of the previous waves! Brother Hu, I will advise you at the end, the gentle place is the tomb of heroes, please do your own thing!"
Hu Qingpeng looked at his not-tall back and murmured, "Brother Li, thank you!" Looking down, there were more than ten gaps in the long sword, which turned into a serrated sword. If Li Shan persisted for a while, his sword would definitely be cut into pieces, and it could be said that he was lucky to win a battle.
Li Shan's figure had just disappeared, and three figures suddenly appeared on the eaves in the distance. A cold light shot out from his six eyes and flew towards the two of them.
Hu Qingpeng's heart suddenly moved. He looked up and saw the other party's fierce eyes. He couldn't help but complain. Why are there anyone coming to make trouble? He immediately returned the sword and held Yi Wufeng's jade hand, and pulled her away quickly. Yi Wufeng was suddenly controlled by his generous and powerful hand. His heart was beating wildly, his face was burning, and he struggled hard but couldn't break free. He was both ashamed and angry, and said angrily: "Have you eaten Xiong Xinbao's gall? You dare to take advantage of me! Let go!"
Hu Qingpeng whispered: "I can't let go! Someone wants to kill us and is chasing us!" The true energy was transported over, and she ran faster and faster, trying to get rid of the tail behind her.
Yi Wufeng listened carefully, and sure enough, she heard the sound of her clothes flying through the air from behind, and there was more than one pursuer! Her body was not toxic, so she was not convenient to use her light skills. She could only default to the status quo and let Hu Qingpeng take her with her. But she has always been as cold as ice and has never walked with any man so intimately. She felt a wave after wave of heat flowing in from Hu Qingpeng's palm, making her body temperature rise, her heartbeats like a pounding, and her brain is blank.
Hu Qingpeng heard the enemy's chasing closer and closer, and did not care whether Yi Wufeng would agree or not. He gently pulled her and picked her up horizontally, jumped up like a bird and ran wildly. Not long after he came to Jingzhou, he had already been involved in the Qinglong Society, the Wudang Sect and the Beggars' Sect, and he really didn't want to offend other forces. Especially Yi Wufeng's identity needs to be kept secret, and she could avoid it if she could. If she was recognized, she would not be as easy as Li Shan. Yi Wufeng was hugged by him, and her originally blushed face became redder and almost dripped with water. She couldn't believe that she would snuggle in a man's arms like a weak woman! She smelled the strong man's body scent, her whole body was soft and lazy and didn't want to move. No matter how dangerous there was outside, she knew that she was very safe in this man's arms.
Yi Wufeng was light and Hu Qingpeng hugged her effortlessly. He walked through the streets and buildings at high speed, and the distance between the pursuers gradually widened. The three of them could still bite at the beginning, but later they ran as if they were panting and their legs were weak, so they could only watch Hu Qingpeng fly away with hatred.
Hu Qingpeng walked around and was convinced that no one was following him before returning to the dock safely. He looked down accidentally and saw Yi Wufeng flexing her hands and pressing her chest lightly, her expression was peaceful and gentle, her breathing was stable, and she fell asleep. Her face was flushed, she exhaled like orchids, and a sweet and gentle smile was bent on the corners of her lips, which was completely different from her usual cold and arrogant image! Hu Qingpeng couldn't help but pounding, but he felt his mouth and tongue dry, and his whole body became hot. However, he did not dare to do anything easily when pedestrians came and went along the way.
Back on the boat, Yi Wufeng was not awake. Hu Qingpeng hugged her into the cabin, put her carefully on the bed, staring at the beautiful face that was close to her, and his mind was fighting, and his breath gradually became heavy. As long as he wanted, he could enjoy the beauty without any precautions. This temptation was so strong that it made him tremble all over and his blood boiled. He slowly lowered his head, and a faint fragrance of virgin scent hit his nose. Under Yi Wufeng's smooth and white skin, a faint blue blood vessel could be seen, and two slightly opened cherry lips were as attractive as flowers.
Suddenly, Yi Wufeng seemed to have encountered something unhappy in her dream, frowned slightly, and murmured anxiously: "Don't leave, don't leave me!" Her jade arms relaxed, and she unconsciously hugged his waist and snuggled closer.
Hu Qingpeng was both loving and pitying, and couldn't help but feel ashamed of his thoughts just now. He gently patted her vest and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't leave!" Yi Wufeng vaguely heard his words, her eyebrows spread out, and she smiled sweetly, but she held his clothes tightly and refused to let go. In desperation, Hu Qingpeng had to pull over a chair, fell to the edge of the bed, and fell asleep unknowingly.
The next morning, the sky turned white, and loud and powerful shouts sounded on the river. Hu Qingpeng slowly opened his eyes and saw Yi Wufeng trembling eyelashes and woke up almost at the same time. His eyes met, Yi Wufeng screamed instinctively, shrank back, and said angrily: "Hu Qingpeng, you big pervert! What are you doing in my room? When did you come in?"
Hu Qingpeng shouted, "It's unfair! You fell asleep in my arms last night, and you still held my clothes and didn't let go, which made me sit in the chair all night, and I felt so uncomfortable. I can swear to the sky that I did nothing!"
Yi Wufeng recalled the shameful situation last night, and a flush flew over her cheeks and said angrily: "No, who will hold you and not let go? Do you think you are Guanyin Bodhisattva? It's so bad! I warn you solemnly that you should not tell the third person what happened last night, and you should not think about it anymore, otherwise I will not spare you!"
Hu Qingpeng looked at her angry and angry look and felt aroused in his heart. Somehow he suddenly had the idea of teasing her and said with a smile: "You said a lot of sleep last night! Do you want me to keep it a secret for you?"
Yi Wufeng's blushing is even thicker. Could it be that he said something he shouldn't say in his sleep? That's so embarrassing! I saw Hu Qingpeng's smile-like eyes, and my heart froze, gritted my teeth and said, "Hu Qingpeng, no matter what you hear, I will forget everything immediately! If you dare to reveal a few words to the outside, I...I will kill you first!" The circles of your eyes turned red, and a hazy mist floated in your eyes.
Hu Qingpeng didn't expect her to react so fiercely, and secretly regretted that he had started to joke too much, and did not dare to tell the truth, for fear that she would take her life on the spot. He quickly made a poisonous oath and patted his chest and said, "For the sake of the elder's reputation, even if someone pulls my tongue, I will never tell it!"
Yi Wufeng couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Nonsense! Your tongue is pulled out, can you still speak? You are so slick and have no sincerity!" Her smile was like a river of ice thawing, and spring returned to the earth, making Hu Qingpeng's eyes straight and saliva flow.
Yi Wufeng saw his obsessed and stupid look, angry and funny, and there was a hint of pride and joy. She lowered her face and said, "Big Pervert, why are you stupid? I am about to get up and wash, why don't you get out of here? I want to get out of here! Could it be that I can't get beaten?" After that, she raised her fists and tried to beat her.
Hu Qingpeng screamed strangely, ran away with his head in his arms, and ran out of the door. Yi Wufeng smiled slightly, and an inexplicable happiness slowly spread in her chest, bringing her a sweet feeling she had never had before. She stood up and sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the beautiful smiling face in the mirror, and was suddenly shocked. Is this herself? It is more than a thousand miles away from the usual serious and arrogant image! She suddenly realized that her mind was lost and could not maintain the state of calmness. Her emotions fluctuated greatly, and she could easily lose her calmness. She was originally a very wise person, but after a moment of thinking, she understood the root of it. She closed her eyes gently, and the figure of a young man flashed through her mind. Can the inner demons be easily eliminated? For a moment, her palms were covered with cold sweat.
The big ship slowly sailed away from the dock under the sunset. Hu Qingpeng stood on the deck and looked at the busy boatmen and fishermen nearby, and was a little envious. Their lives were peaceful and regular. They went out and returned late, without worrying about being slandered, besieged, chased, and guarded against everyone. In comparison, he was really happy. Looking at the sky from afar, he couldn't help but think of his parents and sisters who were far away in his hometown. They were also ordinary people. Are they doing well? He had been away from home for six years and failed to respect his parents. He didn't know what his home had become? Especially his mother, who had to work and earn money, and endured his father's beating and scolding, and perhaps he had grown much older. He felt a tingling pain in his heart and couldn't help but sigh to the sky.
"What's wrong with you? Your expression is so strange!" Yi Wufeng walked to Hu Qingpeng and looked at him coldly.
Hu Qingpeng smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing! I just haven't been home for many years. I accidentally remembered my parents and felt sorry for them."
Yi Wufeng's lips moved slightly, and finally she refused to ask questions, and pressed her curiosity about his family. She reminded herself that they were both black and white, neither friends nor lovers, and she didn't have to know too much about him. After a moment of silence, she said, "Did you see clearly the person who chased us last night? Which one is it?"
Hu Qingpeng nodded and said, "Although they were masked with black scarves, judging from their figure and footwork, they should be He Shouxin and others from the Wudang Sect." He Shouxin and others were unwilling to be humiliated. After going downstairs, they did not leave, but lurked up and waited for them to appear, trying to rely on the advantage of the number of people to save face.
Yi Wufeng sneered: "He Shouxin and others have just learned the superficiality of Wudang sword technique. They are arrogant and have a irritable heart. Even if they chase after him, they are not afraid! I am afraid that they will hear Li Shan's words, know my identity, and promote them everywhere. At that time, masters gather, and heroes from all walks of life will surround us under the banner of eliminating demons and guarding the way, and they will inevitably fight! Hu Qingpeng, you'd better leave immediately, I won't blame you. Maybe tonight, you can't leave even if you want to!"
Hu Qingpeng smiled and said, "Do you want to drive me away? I just stayed there! I said that unless I die, I must escort you to Daba Mountain."
Yi Wufeng looked at his firm face and suddenly realized that everything was redundant. His determination and belief were undoubtedly revealed through her eyes. She sighed slightly, looked at the surging river, and felt a lot of thought, not knowing how to clarify it.
The sun gradually rose, and the deck was as hot as a steamer. Hu Qingpeng and Yi Wufeng hid in the cabin to cool off. After noon, the ship's speed slowed down and finally stopped. The two were wondering, and the boss of the ship ran into the cabin in sweat and said with a bitter face: "Two young men, sorry, sorry! The people of the Dongfang family set up a checkpoint in front. We have to stop the ship for inspection, so we can't go to Yichang Pier on time."
Yi Wufeng frowned and said, "What are they going to check?"
The boss of the boat scratched his head and said, "I heard that he was looking for a female elder from some sect!"
The two were surprised at the same time, packed their luggage and walked onto the deck together. More than twenty ships were parked on the river, forming a long row. There was a medium-sized warship moored near the shore, with a blue pennant hanging on the masts, with the word "East" printed on it. Several other small boats were blocked on the waterway, and all ships heading upstream were inspected. The Eastern family is one of the five major families in the rivers and lakes, with half of the inland shipping, and is closely related to the government. They are the leader of the Yangtze River waterway. Although the boat owners are full of complaints, no one dares to speak out loudly.
Yi Wufeng said: "As a matter of my misfortune, the Wudang Sect has spread the news! This time the Dongfang family dispatched warships, they must have sent a large number of experts in the water. We should not force ourselves to break through. We can only change to land and use the mountains and forests to hide traces."
