In the twilight, Xu Buling leads several females, toward the Tang Family sword village of coastal area of Luan River marches forward from the major road. 暮色之中,许不令带着几个女子,从官道上朝着滦河沿岸的唐家剑庄行进。 Zhongli Jiujiu is resting to improve one's appearance to think, the greater part of the night was towed also a little opinion, is riding scarlet horse hang in the rear, does not respond Xu Buling, does not respond Ning Yuhe. 钟离玖玖正在睡美容觉,大半夜被拖起来还有点意见,骑着大红马吊在最后面,既不搭理许不令,也不搭理宁玉合。 Does not respond Ning Yuhe, mainly Zhongli Jiujiu dashed the Ning Yuhe shameful matter, Ning Yuhe actually threatened her in turn, warned her, if dares to speak irresponsibly, made Xu Buling expel her. 不搭理宁玉合,主要还是钟离玖玖撞破了宁玉合见不得人的事儿,宁玉合却反过来威胁她,警告她若是敢乱说,就让许不令把她撵出去。 Zhongli Jiujiu also really feared that Ning Yuhe instigates Xu Buling toward leaving her expels, by her with the Xu Buling relations, Xu Buling will definitely hide shortcomings at present toward Ning Yuhe, therefore also can only swallow an insult, in addition seeks the plan. 钟离玖玖还真怕宁玉合怂恿许不令把她往出撵,以她目前和许不令关系,许不令肯定会护短儿向着宁玉合,因此也只能忍气吞声,另谋打算。 Ning Yuhe rides a horse in the Xu Buling body side, was dashed and Xu Buling matter by Zhongli Jiujiu, she was instead broad and level, ‚I eat white steamed bun to the apprentice, your my what’ appearance. 宁玉合骑马走在许不令身侧,被钟离玖玖撞破了和许不令的事儿,她反而坦荡了些,一副‘我就是给徒弟吃白馒头,你奈我何’的模样。 Why as for does not tell Xu Buling the matter that Zhongli Jiujiu eavesdrops, thus drives out Zhongli Jiujiu, some actually views. 至于为什么不把钟离玖玖听墙根儿的事儿告诉许不令,从而把钟离玖玖撵走,其中倒是有些说法。 Ning Yuhe from Zhongli Jiujiu wants , in her elder sister's words, understands something —— estimated Zhongli Jiujiu this insane young married woman, changes the mind not to snatch the apprentice, changed to snatch the man. 宁玉合从钟离玖玖非要当她姐姐的话语中,明白了些东西——估计钟离玖玖这疯婆娘,改变主意不抢徒弟,改抢男人了。 In the Ning Yuhe mind, Zhongli Jiujiu is completely competent this matter, Ning Yuhe is not naturally glad. 在宁玉合心目中,钟离玖玖完全能干出这事儿,宁玉合自然是不乐意的。 But sentiment of matter men and women, with acknowledging as teacher differently, side Xu Buling keeps Zhongli Jiujiu, perhaps also has other thoughts. 但男女之情这事儿,和拜师不一样,许不令把钟离玖玖留在身边,恐怕也有其他心思。 Ning Yuhe now is the Xu Buling young wife , the sincerity likes Xu Buling, said that the malicious remarks toward leaving expel other women, always has the suspicion that is jealous good, the thinking over and over, Ning Yuhe planned first to search the clear Xu Buling rumor to say again, so as to avoid Ling'er intertwined when the time comes, instead thought that she troubled to create a scene. 宁玉合如今是许不令的小媳妇,也真心喜欢许不令,说坏话把其他女人往出撵,总是有善妒的嫌疑,思索再三,宁玉合还是打算先探清许不令的口风再说,免得到时候令儿纠结,反而觉得她麻烦无理取闹。 Originally these matters should the daytime time found time saying that may hear Tang Family had/left the matter, Ning Yuhe did not have the thoughts to think, rushed to Tang Family at high speed, on the Jianghu person with road is inquiring the news along the way. 本来这些事儿应该白天的时候抽空说的,可听说唐家出了事儿,宁玉合也没心思去想了,快马加鞭赶往唐家,沿途和路上的江湖人打听着消息。 Five people arrive at half of times, then heard the hearsay, Zhu Liu had started in the Tang Family peripheral elimination informer, must begin to exterminate an entire family quickly. 五个人走到一半的时候,便听到了传闻,祝六已经开始在唐家周边清除眼线,恐怕很快就要动手灭门了。 In Ning Yuhe heart anxious, feared that Zhu Liu did not keep Tang Family everybody all extinguished, can only exchange the Ye Ying Outer Mongolia good colt, advanced with Xu Buling and Manzhi, Zhongli Jiujiu and Ye Ying pursued in behind...... 宁玉合心中焦急,怕祝六一个不留把唐家男女老少全灭了,只能换上了夜莺的漠北良驹,和许不令、满枝先行过去,钟离玖玖和夜莺在后面追赶…… ----- ----- The water of galloping speeds away entering the sea toward east, the heavy snow closes off a mountain area, rocking of flare just like all over the sky the stars, scatters in coastal area of Luan River. 奔腾之水往东疾驰入海,大雪封山,火把的晃动犹如满天繁星,散落在滦河沿岸。 "Ah - - " “啊——” „Where?......” “在哪里？……” Whooshes and pitiful yell spreads from time to time, the Tang Family juniors following the sound, are searching for the trail of enemy in barren hill snow mountain range, but after finding the place, then is only left over a sword to seal/confer throat corpse, in the snowy area the footprint has not even stayed behind, did not know many people. 嘶吼和惨叫时而传出,唐家子弟顺着声音,在荒山雪岭中搜寻着敌人的踪迹,只是找到地方后,便只剩下一具一剑封喉的死尸,雪地上连脚印都没留下,根本不知道来了多少人。 The Luan River turned a big sharp bend in western Chengde County, curved heart length and breadth region three surrounded by water, assume potential of dragon Panhu the secluding, was called ‚qiu nest beach’ by local common people. Now is ‚the heads of four big sword study aristocratic family’ ‚one of the land under heaven Ten Martial Leaders’ Youzhou Tang Family, then takes root here, therefore is also called the Tang Family sword village. 滦河在承德县西侧拐了个大急弯,弯心广袤地域三面环水,呈龙盘虎踞之势,被当地百姓称之为‘鹙窝滩’。如今位列‘四大剑学世家之首’‘天下十武魁之一’的幽州唐家,便扎根于此处,因此也被称做唐家剑庄。 In the past on Jianghu was very chaotic, various influence words did not gather hit the matter to be very common, before Youzhou Tang Family has not increased the family fortunes, was suspended in midair can only calculate that a middle-grade influence, for against was made dumplings by the enemy direct belt/bring person, elected to settle down in this strategic place, the entrance of sword village, but also constructed had the tall wall archer's tower, just like an impregnable castle. 往年江湖上很乱,各家势力一言不合打来打去的事儿很常见,幽州唐家没发家前,不上不下只能算个中等势力,为防被仇家直接带人包了饺子,才选在在这种险地安家落户,剑庄的入口处,还修建的有高墙箭楼,宛若一座固若金汤的城堡。 However these defense facilities, cope with the peasant uprising possibly a little use, meets the true Jianghu expert, was equal to that fence high a little, cannot block anything, enemy who wants to defend the Martial Leader rank, but must look at the person. 不过这些防御设施,对付农民起义可能有点用处,遇上真正的江湖高手,也就等于围墙高一点儿,根本挡不住什么,想要防住武魁级别的仇家,还得看人。 The Tang Family Manor scale is very big, outside the tall wall has a small town, because attached great importance to by the royal government, year to year takes a walk, Tang Family also bossed around many Jianghu friends, at this time rushed to the town, the stance of being Tang Family braves grave dangers and makes great sacrifices. 唐家庄规模很大,高墙外有个小镇子,因为备受朝廷重视,常年走动下来,唐家也笼络了不少的江湖朋友,此时都赶到了镇子上,一副为唐家两肋插刀的架势。 However can with the Jianghu person of Tang Family human relations, mostly not be generation of the supremely honorable and righteous, knew perfectly well that was Sword Saint Zhu Liu killed, no Jianghu dares to run to obstruct the road, set the example in the wineshop inn mostly. 不过能和唐家交际的江湖人,多半都不是什么义薄云天之辈,明知是剑圣祝六杀了过来,没有哪个江湖喽啰敢跑出去挡道,多半都是在酒肆客栈中做做样子。 But looked down upon the Tang Family Jianghu guest more, after hearing the news, rushed to outside the Tang Family sword village, although does not dare makes anything to the royal government and Tang Family, saw a play. 而瞧不起唐家的江湖客就更多了,听到消息后就赶到了唐家剑庄外,虽然不敢对朝廷和唐家做什么,看戏还是可以的。 This ‚one place is in difficulty, eight sides surround’ the scene, calculates to establish a new school on Jianghu, obviously reputation of Tang Family on Jianghu smelly to what situation. 这样‘一方有难,八方围观’的场景,在江湖上也算独树一帜,可见唐家在江湖上的名声臭到了什么地步。 Naturally, the Tang Family people were also hopeless by the Jianghu mixed fish passed this crisis. Since turned to the royal government, was retaliated by the Jianghu evildoer, even without asked that the royal government will also help ; Otherwise turns to aristocratic family of royal government, exterminated an entire family by the Jianghu evildoer, the royal government does not manage, but also who is willing to return a favor to the royal government. 当然,唐家众人也没指望靠江湖杂鱼度过此次危机。既然投靠了朝廷,被江湖贼子报复,即便不用去求,朝廷也会施以援手;不然投靠朝廷的世家,被江湖贼子灭门,朝廷都不管,还有谁愿意报效朝廷。 At this time big Tang Family sword manor within/inner, brilliantly illuminated, all Tang Family juniors, regardless of the old and young all waist hangs the saber, takes strict precautions against cling to tenaciously in various manor places. 此时偌大的唐家剑庄内,灯火通明,所有唐家子弟,无论老少皆腰悬佩剑,在庄园各处严防死守。 Sword village entrance, after the tall wall, has a small square, the square end is also studying Junshan Cao Family, set up a Coiling Dragon wall, below had the practicing martial arts stage, was to the place that the Jianghu person contended in martial arts to compete. 剑庄入口处,高墙后有个小广场,广场尽头也学着君山曹家,立了一块盘龙壁,下有演武台,算是给江湖人比武打擂的地方。 Walks Jianghu knight-errant, can compete in Lu Family Hundred Feet Precipice and Cao Family Coiling Dragon Platform and other places, that is good deed that raises land under heaven, but competes to become famous in the Tang Family entrance, was scolded inevitably is the royal government running dog, therefore after this place constructs, had not used. 只是行走江湖的游侠儿,能在陆家百尺崖、曹家盘龙台等地方打擂,那是名扬天下的好事,而在唐家门口打擂成名,必然被骂做朝廷走狗,所以这地方修建好后一直未曾用上。 Behind the square, in the Tang Family receiving callers hall, is holding the evening banquet. 广场后方,唐家的会客大厅内,正在摆着晚宴。 The maidservants go through, there are singing girl to dance Ji to play music, but the atmosphere in hall, cannot enliven obviously. 丫鬟穿行其中,也有歌女舞姬奏乐,但大厅中的气氛,显然活跃不起来。 present age Martial Leader Tang Jiao, wears the magnificent dress jade crown, the saber places on hand, sits respectfully on the seat of honor, the vision has been staring at outside the front door that Coiling Dragon wall screening house from street, the train of thought quiet during the past recollection. 当代武魁唐蛟,身着华服玉冠,佩剑放在手边,在主位上正襟危坐,目光一直盯着大门外那块盘龙影壁,思绪沉寂在往日的回忆之中。 Before has not succeeded the head of household, Tang Jiao is actually same as Zhu Liu and Lu Baiming, is young outstanding on this piece of Jianghu, advocates one ‚hero’ character, frequently is paying attention to the family rule family tradition, just like all previous ancestor, is accumulating the prestige little, asks, nothing but a level higher on Jianghu. 未继任家主之前,唐蛟其实和祝六、陆百鸣一样,都是这片江湖上的年轻俊杰,崇尚一个‘侠’字,时时刻刻都注意着家规家风,和历代祖宗一样,一点点累积着声望,所求的,无非是在江湖上更上一层楼而已。 But talent thing, is the God decides, but the God, is not then fair fair. 但天赋这东西,是老天爷定的,而老天爷,并非那么公平公正。 Tang Jiao is in the Tang Family peer juniors most talented one, as strong as 20 over, then meets the rival on Jianghu rarely. 唐蛟是唐家同辈子弟中最才华横溢的一个,强到二十出头,便在江湖上罕逢敌手。 But a road arrives at the peak time, the found scenery is desperate forever, tests the foremost person in the field to be the same with the imperial civil service examination, in billion people chooses the top three, more walks upward, the having god-given wisdom rare talent is more crowded, after some people can outstandingly to letting you finds, felt oneself and monkey on tree has no difference in a big way, the disparity to letting the person including unable to live by the thoughts of height. 但一条路走到顶端的时候,瞧见的风景永远让人绝望,就和科举考状元一样,千百万人中选前三甲,越往上走,遇到的天纵奇才越密集,有些人能优秀到让你瞧见后,觉得自己和树上的猴子没啥区别,差距大到让人连去论高低的心思都生不起。 Tang Jiao so, has then arrived at the martial artist peak young, may dispute with the stage, was actually the new and old two generations of God's favored ones, Situ Yuejin, Zhu Choushan, Chen Daozi and Lu Baiming......, this names, kept off to stand just like mountains in the front, looked at one to him high, then knows that the life had no way to catch up with the footsteps, had no way to become the focus in land under heaven martial artist with them same. 唐蛟便是如此,年纪轻轻已经走到了武人的顶端,可同台较量的,却是新老两代的天之骄子,司徒岳烬、祝稠山、陈道子、陆百鸣……,这一个个名字,宛如一尊尊山岳挡立在面前,高到他只是看了一眼,便知道此生都没法追上脚步,没法和他们一样成为天下武人目中的焦点。 But the person lives first, must always spell. 可人活一世,总是要去拼的。 Just like Huainan majordomo Xiao Clan the appraisal of Hua Jingting, Tang Jiao practices martial art is very difficult to enter Martial Leader, but mixes the words of government to have the talent very much. 正如淮南萧氏大管家花敬亭的评价,唐蛟习武很难入武魁之列,但混官场的话很有天赋。 The situation sensation of Tang Jiao to deliberation hall is exceptionally keen, when Song Ji has not ascended the throne, then guessed that first emperor passes on the position to esteeming martial arts Song Ji, inquired that Song Ji did not like ‚hero by the military violates a prohibition’ the Jianghu person, therefore starts to take a walk long time ago in secret, with royal government relation. 唐蛟对朝堂的局势感知异常敏锐,在宋暨尚未登基时,便猜测先帝传位给尚武的宋暨,又打听到了宋暨不太喜欢‘侠以武犯禁’的江湖人,所以早早就开始在暗中走动,和朝廷联系上了。 If Tang Jiao expects, after Song Ji high-rank, the first matter is exterminates Jianghu to refuse to accept the generation of control, Tang Jiao does everything to please while this opportunity, the assistance royal government wiped out the Youzhou all barriers, becomes to be the first now Jianghu aristocratic family that leads had never had the altitude the entire family. 如唐蛟所料,宋暨上位后,第一件事就是清剿江湖不服管制之辈,唐蛟趁此机会大献殷勤,协助朝廷拔除了幽州当地的所有障碍,一跃成为了现在位列榜首的江湖世家,把整个家族带到了从未有过的高度。 Tang Jiao thinks has not made the any mistake, returns a favor to the royal government, to exterminate the disciple of rebel, the itself/Ben is the frank and upright matter, placing in the history book nothing is not right, must speak incorrectly, that can only speak incorrectly in him came from Jianghu. 唐蛟自认为没做错什么,报效朝廷、清剿叛逆之徒,本就是光明正大的事儿,放在史书上也没什么不对,要说错,那只能说错在他出身于江湖。 Since did these matters, Tang Jiao then knows that sooner or later will have by one day of walking, although on Jianghu has been deserted by friends and allies, but at least his present backer, is bigger than Jianghu on are too many, only did Zhu Liu, how come to be able he? 既然做了这些事儿,唐蛟便知道迟早会有被找上门来的一天,虽然江湖上已经众叛亲离,但至少他现在的靠山,比江湖大上太多,区区一个祝六,来了又能把他怎么样？ In the hall, the moods of others, are similar to Tang Jiao, secure. 大厅之中,其他人的心情,和唐蛟差不多,有恃无恐。 Very much ripe Tang Jiuren and Tang Jiuren liangs brothers, wind and in several senior chitchatting smalltalk of sitting. 唐九儿兄弟,很熟络的和在坐的几位前辈攀谈客套。 In the past had encircled Zhu Family Yin Tong together, sat in the right side of banquet, posted with Song Ying. 当年一起围剿过祝家的阴童,坐在宴席的右侧,和宋英并列。 Wears a sword and have an imposing appearance to compare with the Song Ying black clothes, Yin Tong looks a little abnormal, a height five chi (0.33 m) dwarf, actually without child immaturity like that on the skin full is the fold, resembled was short of a horse monkey of wool, wore the lax clothes, the light was looked that the appearance then somewhat infiltrated the person. 与宋英的黑衣佩刀、器宇轩昂比起来,阴童看起来有点畸形,身高不过五尺的侏儒,却没有孩童那般的稚嫩,皮肤上满是褶皱,似是少了一身毛的马猴,穿着松垮垮的衣裳,光是看卖相便有些渗人。 However people on the scene, not, because the Yin Tong ugly appearance appears despises, Yin Tong takes Youzhou Cui Clan looking after the house great general, for strange difficult against be famous, the skill is absolutely not allow to neglect. In the past under Locking Dragon Gu to Old Sword Saint Zhu Choushan, was the Yin Tong writing skill, except for him, no one arrived in Zhu Choushan ten, but can also live. 不过在场众人,并没有因为阴童丑陋的外貌而显出鄙夷,阴童作为幽州崔氏的看家大将,以诡异难防著称,身手绝对不容忽视。当年给老剑圣祝稠山下锁龙蛊,便是阴童的手笔,除了他,没人走到祝稠山十步之内,还能活着出来。 The matter of assassination Ning Yuhe bad Tang Family important matter, actually is also the person of Yin Tong belt/bring, but this matter Tang Family does not know. In Cui Tang two present surfaces the relations are good, Cui Family is not good to shirk, makes Yin Tong help keep up appearances. 暗杀宁玉合坏唐家大计的事儿,其实也是阴童带的人,不过这事儿唐家并不知晓。崔唐两家如今表面上关系不错,崔家不好推脱,才让阴童过来帮忙撑场面。 Yin Tong is of a Cui Family management five big powerful families, in the heart cannot take a liking to Tang Family this Jianghu aristocratic family, at this time at heart also some discontented, looks to nearby Song Ying: 阴童为五大门阀之一的崔家办事,心底里是瞧不上唐家这种江湖世家的,此时心里还有些许不满,看向旁边的宋英: „Sir Song arrive, but also makes the old man do, Zhu Liu is fierce, but can also be better compared with you? Junshan Cao Family, the past reputation was not smaller than Zhu Family......” “宋大人都到了场,还让老夫过来作甚,一个祝六再厉害,还能比您棋高一着？君山曹家,当年的名声可不比祝家小……” Song Ying is the Cao Family eldest son, the walked way actually and Tang Jiao is exactly the same, but Cao Family drew back Jianghu directly, Song Ying changed the surname, has not made Cao Family be so chased by to Tang Family. 宋英是曹家的长子,走的路数其实和唐蛟一模一样,不过曹家直接退了江湖,宋英又改了姓氏,才没有让曹家向唐家这般人人喊打。 Although Song Ying is not knight nobleman, what is different from Tang Jiao, he really takes the path of government passes, became one of the Song Ji trusted aides, may transfer Arresting and Scouting Department Wolf Guards and dense spy, the position is much higher than Tang Jiao this crude person. 宋英虽然也不是什么侠客君子,但和唐蛟不一样的是,他真走通的官场的路子,成了宋暨的心腹之一,可调动缉侦司狼卫、密谍,地位比唐蛟这半吊子高得多。 Hears Yin Tong to have the words of several points of taunt, the Song Ying expression and has no change, said lightly: 听见阴童带着几分嘲讽的话语,宋英表情并没有什么变化,平淡道: „Yin old was old, possibly is too long has not gone out, does not know that now danger of Jianghu, comes out to see the world also very well.” “阴老年纪大了,可能太久没出门,不知道如今江湖的险恶,出来见见世面也挺好。” Yin Tong false smile hehe two, carry the wine glass to toss down, has not said again. 阴童皮笑肉不笑的呵呵两声,端起酒杯一饮而尽,没有再接话。 After all everyone is not the Jianghu person, must walk according to the government way, a word does not gather the matter that the murder gives vent to indignation, in deliberation hall invalid. 毕竟大家都不是江湖人,得按照官场路数走,一言不合杀人泄愤的事儿,在朝堂上行不通。 Banquet indeed so ordered conducts, outside town also brilliantly illuminated, often has the Tang Family disciple to run, report/give report said that such and such was killed, the manpower and position of opposite party do not have whereabouts. However by captured informer position, from was getting more and more near. 宴席尽然有序的进行,外面的镇子上也灯火通明,不时有唐家的门徒跑回来,禀报说某某被杀,对方的人手和位置却没有一点下落。不过以被拔掉的眼线位置来看,距离越来越近了。 Finally, when early morning, the outside Tang Family juniors are drowsy, outside the tall wall of Tang Family sword village, suddenly resounded the noise of crowd, stands the Tang Family juniors in watchtower, tumbling ran, anxious sound said: 终于,在凌晨时分,外面唐家子弟都昏昏欲睡之时,唐家剑庄的高墙外,忽然响起了人群的嘈杂声,站在望楼上的唐家子弟,连滚带爬的跑了进来,急声道: „Head of household, Zhu Liu came......” “家主,祝六来了……” The Tang Jiao complexion sinks slightly, takes up long sword, cold sound said: 唐蛟脸色微微一沉,拿起身旁的长剑,冷声道: „How many people came?” “来了多少人？” "One!" “一个！” "One?" “一个？” Tang Jiao stares, observes the situation in the hall many experts, slightly reveals the doubts: 唐蛟一愣,环视大厅里诸多高手,略显疑惑: „Does he alone bring death inadequately?” “他一个人来送死不成？” The disciples are slow of speech. 弟子讷讷无言。 Song Ying from the information learned that the Eagle Striking Tower expert turned out in full strength Youzhou, Li Hansheng was also one of them, was impossible only to come a person, immediately lifted the hand saying: 宋英从情报得知打鹰楼高手倾巢而出来了幽州,厉寒生也在其中,不可能只来了一个人,当下抬手道: „Family Head Tang, you have a look, the surroundings must have the ambush, I am later come.” “唐家主,你出去看看,周围必有埋伏,我迟些现身。” Tang Jiao was sealed Martial Leader, got the gate, is always impossible to hide behind Song Ying, immediately had not said, strokes the sleeve, went out of the main hall with stride...... 唐蛟受封武魁,被人打上门,总不可能躲在宋英后面,当下也没有多说,一拂袖子,大步走出了厅堂……
