Chapter VIII Youth Feelings
Everyone slept until noon before getting up one after another to wash and have dinner.
While eating, Zhao Fu'an, who was nervous, ran over to tell everyone that last night, two major cases occurred outside the city, and the Yu Mansion in the city was killed, leaving no living room. A farm outside the city caught fire, burning dozens of people. The government has sent constables to investigate, and even alarmed the local garrison and searched for suspects throughout the city. Everyone in Hengyang City is in danger, fearing that they will become the next target to be robbed and killed.
Of course, everyone guessed who did these two things. He was shocked when he heard this. The people in the Demon Cult were indeed cruel and eradicated Yu Chuyang's power overnight. What a big deal! Hu Qingpeng was secretly worried that Yi Wufeng would be able to avoid the reconnaissance of all forces? If their whereabouts were exposed and wolves would flock to him, the girls would not have a second chance to escape.
Chen Tianlei used his eyes to signal his disciples not to discuss, and said to Zhao Fu'an: "Brother Zhao, don't worry! Judging from the current situation in Yu's mansion, this is a typical method of revenge in the martial arts world. The murderer did not come for money. They planned carefully and would go thousands of miles away after they succeeded, and would never stay nearby. Even if the government searched everywhere in the city, it would be difficult to find clues to the murderer. According to my estimate, the perpetrator was at least a hundred miles away!"
Zhao Fu'an curled his heart and said, "That's good, that's good! Lao Yu is a disciple of Shaolin layman. He had been in the world for many years before he became famous. Maybe it was his former enemy who came to take revenge!" After a relaxed mood, he suddenly noticed that there was a delicate girl in the seat and said strangely: "Hey, this girl is..."
Zhao Qinghe hurriedly said, "Dad, she is my master's daughter Qinghua. She delayed her trip because she had something to do on the mountain and arrived in Hengyang last night. When Junior Sister Chen came to our house, it was too late, so the child did not inform you."
Chen Qinghua stood up and said sweetly: "Niece Qinghua greets Uncle Zhao!"
Zhao Fuan laughed and said, "No gifts, no gifts! It turns out that you are Qinghe's junior sister! Master Chen, you have given birth to a good daughter, and you have chosen one of the talents and appearances in a thousand ways. No wonder the little dog is obsessed with it and always mentions it in front of me!" According to the customs at that time, his words are so clear that he proposed to the Chen family in person.
Zhao Qinghe's face turned slightly red and said in a deep voice: "Dad, what are you talking about?!" Chen Qinghua knew the elegance when hearing the strings, his pretty face turned red with shame, and he lowered his head and hid behind his mother. Hu Qingpeng felt as if he was hit by five thunders, at a loss, and even knew that the chopsticks fell to the ground.
Chen Tianlei was stunned and smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhao, for your misunderstanding. Chen is so ashamed! Qinghe is my disciple whom I personally told him about, and his performance has always been quite satisfactory to me. However, they are still young, especially Qinghe, who should put career first and strive to become famous in the martial arts world as soon as possible. This is the most important thing."
Zhao Fu'an said: "Yes, a good man must first make achievements, otherwise how can he be based in the world?" As he said that, he gave his son a wink. Zhao Qinghe understood it and immediately said with a sigh: "Master, don't worry, your disciple will definitely show his knowledge at the Songshan Conference, regain the reputation of Hengshan, and live up to the master's cultivation!"
Chen Tianlei nodded: "Okay! I hope you can do it." Zhao Fuan chatted with everyone for a while, then left to deal with the things in the mansion.
After the servant cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, Chen Tianlei ordered his disciples to close the doors and windows, and said with a serious expression: "Everyone listens. Now the government is in the light, the world will wait and be in the dark, and we are all chasing the Yu family's destruction. We must be cautious in our words and deeds, and we must not take the blame for the Demon Cult. From today on, no one will mention what happened last night. Violators will be punished severely!"
Liu Tianyue said: "Second Brother, should we set off immediately and leave this place of failure?"
Chen Tianlei said calmly: "Our goal is too big. As long as we leave, it will definitely attract the attention of all parties, and then doubt why we left Hengyang at this moment. Let's stop moving. First contact the local martial arts heroes to assist the government in arresting the murderers and take a stance that has nothing to do with this matter. After two or three days, we will set off to the north." After a pause, he paused and then said: "Qinghe, you must tell the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion to restrain all kinds of servants and servants in the mansion, keep the words strictly, and do not easily disclose our whereabouts. Fourth junior brother and fifth junior brother, you two quickly visit the Baidao masters in Hengyang City, and invite them to jointly investigate the murderers and investigate the movements of various gang forces. After all, Yu Chuyang is a disciple of Shaolin layman and has a good reputation. Since my Hengshan Sect is here, we should take the lead in actively chasing the murderers."
Qin Tianri, Gu Tianxing agreed and stood up and went out without mentioning it.
Chen Tianlei glanced at his daughter and said with a stern face: "Qinghua, although you are my daughter, this time you go down the mountain without authorization, you will still be punished according to the rules! I originally wanted to send you back to Hengshan immediately, but considering that it is an extraordinary moment and the city is full of spies, we cannot do too many abnormal actions, so you can follow us for the time being. You are strictly prohibited from leaving Zhao's mansion for a half-step. Have you heard?"
Chen Qinghua was so happy when she heard her father allowed her to stay. As for where she was severely punished according to the rules, she was so scared that she replied loudly: "I heard it!"
Chen Tianlei gave a few more instructions and asked the disciples to leave. As soon as Zhao Qinghe walked out of the dining room, he immediately surrounded Chen Qinghua, like stars holding the moon. Zhao Qinghe was particularly active and smiled and said, "Junior sister, there are many delicious and fun things in my house. I'll take you to take a look?" Chen Qinghua clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, you master, can't hide your own personal information!" Zhao Qinghe smiled and said, "As long as the junior sister is willing to admire her face, everything is easy to say!" He immediately greeted all the junior brothers and went to various places in the mansion together. Gao Qingcheng immediately refused and walked away alone.
Hu Qingpeng walked a few steps with everyone, and saw that Chen Qinghua and Zhao Qinghe were intimate and could not interfere. He felt sad and stopped sadly. Zhao Qinghe and others did not notice that one person was missing, and they went away with laughter. Hu Qingpeng looked at their backs silently, and a strong sense of loss and loneliness came to his heart. He was so depressed that he just wanted to yell. Apart from martial arts, his conditions were not as good as the eldest brother in other aspects. Why should he win the heart of his senior sister? Moreover, the senior sister did not pay attention to whether he existed or not. This was the saddest thing. He returned to his residence dejectedly, and saw sword lights shining in the courtyard, but Gao Qingcheng was practicing swords alone.
Gao Qingcheng caught a glimpse of him coming back, pulled his sword style away, and suddenly said, "Junior Brother Hu, do you like Junior Sister Chen very much?"
Hu Qingpeng was startled and hurriedly covered up, "Senior Brother Gao, don't talk nonsense. Be careful that someone will hear it, and that will be a big misunderstanding!"
Gao Qingcheng smiled faintly: "You don't have to lie to me! I just saw your chopsticks fall to the ground. For a swordsman, this is too abnormal! If you don't care about her, this will never happen. And do you want to hide your frustrated expression from others at this moment?"
Hu Qingpeng took a deep breath and said bitterly: "Yes, I like senior sister a little. But you also saw it. My chances are far less than those of Senior Brother Zhao. I'm afraid... Hey, why did you suddenly care about my concerns? This is also very abnormal!"
Gao Qingcheng said: "I guess you need to vent your anger at this time. Maybe the power of the sword will be three points better than usual, which makes me look forward to it. You treat me as Senior Brother Zhao, how about we have a discussion?"
Hu Qingpeng was stunned, as if he really saw Zhao Qinghe standing in front of him, sending a provocative signal to him, and sneered: "I hope you don't regret it!" As the murderous aura was in the process of Canglang drew his sword out of the sheath, and a flying rainbow shot straight into the opponent's chest.
Gao Qingcheng was stunned for a moment and he said he would fight, and he made a very fierce killing move. He took the opportunity to swing the sword in one stroke and swung the sword. But Hu Qingpeng quickly turned into a stab, and the sword light swung back, tightly covering his vital points. Gao Qingcheng shouted in secret! The more fighting spirit, he saw the flaws in the opponent's sword move, and sneered the sword and counterattacked.
The two of them ranked first and second among the eight generations of Hengshan disciples. Whether it was their understanding and application of swordsmanship, or the speed and strength of the swordsmanship, they were all the same. In this battle, the battle was filled with smoke and dust. At the beginning, it was a situation of equality, but Hu Qingpeng gradually gained the upper hand with the advantage of the sharp sword. During the fierce battle, the two swords intersected, and with a light click, the long sword in Gao Qingcheng's hand was cut off by half a foot long section.
Gao Qingcheng hurriedly jumped out of the battle circle and shouted: "Stop!"
Hu Qingpeng pressed his sword and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gao Qingcheng carefully looked at his Sword of Shocking, with a look of surprise and envy on his face, and asked suspiciously: "Where did you get your sword? Why have I never seen you use it?"
Hu Qingpeng calmed down and slowly calmed down the murderous aura in his chest, saying, "This sword is called 'Shock God', which is the masterpiece of Sang Liangzi, the sword-making master of the dynasty. It is cut like mud and is extremely sharp. It was given to me by the seventh master uncle Mo Tianfeng." After that, he threw the sword to his senior brother.
Gao Qingcheng raised his hand to catch the Sword of Jingshen, gently stroked every inch of the sword body, unable to let go, and a ecstasy flame shot out in his eyes, murmured: "Good sword, it's indeed a good sword!" He suddenly shook the long sword and pointed the sword at the sky with his sword. His expression was solemn, and his whole body exuded a cold and icy aura. A gust of wind surged around him, sand and stones flying. Suddenly, he saw meteors flying, sword energy scattered, and a figure flew high and lowered like a dragon, perfectly displaying the Hengshan sword technique.
Hu Qingpeng was forced to retreat to the corner of the wall by the fierce sword energy, and couldn't help but be shocked. This is the real strength of Senior Brother Gao? It is as quiet as a virgin, moving as if it is as if it is rid of a rabbit. When it is light and sharp, it is as if it is like a spring breeze blowing on his face, it is strange and it is like a poisonous snake flying, it is like a flashing current star when it is fierce, and it is like a hungry tiger pounced on his food. It has already grasped the essence of swordsmanship, which is more than just one step higher than himself!
Gao Qingcheng finished using the sword technique all the way, and couldn't help but roaring to the sky and laughed, "Haha, it's good to be happy!" After dancing a few more sword flowers, he reluctantly handed the sword back to his junior brother.
Hu Qingpeng returned the sword and wondered: "It was not until today that I realized that Senior Brother Gao's swordsmanship had reached such a level, and I was beyond my reach! Senior Brother Gao, why did you always hide your strength when you were on the mountain before?" He and Gao Qingcheng practiced swordsmanship hundreds of times, and each time they lost at a slight disadvantage. So he always thought that the difference in swordsmanship between the two was limited, but he did not know that they had not tried their best to compete.
Gao Qingcheng suddenly looked cold and asked without answering, "Then why don't you show your sword?"
Hu Qingpeng was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "This matter has been a long story! Even if it is told for three or five hours, it may not be able to explain the cause and effect of this matter clearly, because there are many secrets involved. These secrets are far from being made public."
Gao Qingcheng smiled slightly, with a little sadness and a little sadness in his smile, and said, "I have the same reason."
The two of them looked at each other and suddenly smiled at the same time. The two strong palms were tightly clasped together. Hu Qingpeng said in a deep voice: "I believe you!" Gao Qingcheng said: "Me too!" The two looked at each other and laughed, a sense of passion stirred in their chests, and their blood was boiling.
Hengyang City is as calm as usual on the surface, but in fact it is in a turmoil. Many gang families have sent experts to investigate the murder. In order to avoid getting angry again, Chen Tianlei strictly prohibited his disciples from leaving the Zhao Mansion. He personally led his junior brothers to contact the local heroes, tried his best to investigate the real murderer, and looked with a clear conscience. After being so busy for several days, he naturally gained nothing.
That afternoon, Zhao Qinghe, Chen Qinghua and others gathered to play together again. Hu Qingpeng was in a bad mood. He practiced swords with Gao Qingcheng for a while, then walked out of his residence and went out to relax alone. The Zhao Mansion covers a vast area and is full of flowers, plants and trees. He found a secluded corner to sit down, and remembered all the experiences he had seen and heard from the mountain, especially the changes of his senior sister. He felt a lot of emotion. He took out the orchid handkerchief he had collected for a long time, staring at the blurry pattern on the handkerchief and the faded word "Hua" in the lower right corner, and felt a burst of soreness surged into his heart. He knew in his heart that his senior sister seemed to be an out of reach dream, getting farther and farther away from him. I don’t know how long he looked, but suddenly he became fierce, kneaded his handkerchief into a ball, threw it into the grass, and got up and left.
Hu Qingpeng walked more than ten steps, his steps became slower and slower, and his heart was constantly turning around, and he could not give up this hopeless relationship. He sighed suddenly, slapped himself hard, turned around and jumped back into the grass, looking for the handkerchief he had just discarded. Unexpectedly, the handkerchief seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and he was sweating profusely, almost three feet away, but he still couldn't find a trace! Could it be that he was taken away by wild rats, raccoons and others?
Hu Qingpeng was anxious and was about to draw his sword to sweep away the weeds when he suddenly heard a "puff" chuckle on his head, and someone laughed and said, "Hey, what are you looking for?"
"Who is it?" Hu Qingpeng looked up in shock and saw that the white-clothed Shengxue, the man-made Yi Wufeng stood on the branch, looking at him with a smile, her face couldn't help but feel hot, and she said in surprise: "It's you! When did you come?" Thinking of the warning from the head of the sect far away from the disciples of the Demon Cult, he glanced around uneasy. If someone saw this scene, he would be unable to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
The phoenix leaped down to the ground like a catkin, frowned when she saw this, "I thought you were not afraid of heaven or earth, but who knew you were as timid as a mouse! Just because I am a member of the Demon Sect, do you want to avoid me?"
Hu Qingpeng said with a bitter face: "People's words are terrifying! Besides, my elders of the sect repeatedly told me that they should not interact with the disciples of the Demon Cult. How could I knowingly commit it? Hey, it is very dangerous for you to come back at this time. What if you are besieged by those fellow party members?"
Yi Wufeng sneered: "Since I dare to come back, I don't take those cats and dogs seriously! Unless you spread it everywhere, who will know the truth about that night and then doubt me?"
Hu Qingpeng's heart sank and said with caution: "Then you suddenly appeared here, are you trying to kill me to silence me?"
Yi Wufeng said unhappily: "If I wanted to kill you to silence me, I would have done that night, and I would have let you live to this day? Do you think I am a person who kills innocent people and is blood-devouring? I have my principles. I will never be ruthless when I should kill people. Even if I am stupid, I will spare his life." He said and glared at him, obviously he was a "stupid person."
Hu Qingpeng smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you! Then what is your purpose in returning to Hengyang? You can't just come to see me, right? What about those abducted and trafficked girls?"
Yi Wufeng rolled her eyes and said angrily: "You are so beautiful, are you worth my trip? I came back to find out the news to see if there are any clues left for people to investigate. If there are any, you have to try to destroy the evidence. Today I am bored, so I will tell you that those girls are safe and don't worry."
Hu Qingpeng was moved. It turned out that the disciples of the Demon Sect were not all cold-blooded and ruthless people. When he looked at Yi Wufeng again, his disgust towards her disappeared without realizing it. Yi Wufeng had a long figure, white skin as snowy as snow, cold temperament, and handsome appearance. Her manly outfit made her even more heroic, just like a snow lotus on an iceberg, which naturally made people admire her. Hu Qingpeng didn't know at first that she was dressed as a man, but now after knowing her true identity, he looked at Yi Wufeng's stunning face and smelled the orchid-like fragrance that drifted in the wind, and couldn't help but become obsessed.
When Yi Wufeng saw him staring at him stupidly, she was both ashamed and angry, and her face flashed alternately, and said coldly: "Daigua!" She threw a ball of things in her hand on his face, and the white shadow flashed and flew into the air.
