Big new year's celebration how can speak such inauspicious words?” 司徒亮不悦道:“赵堂主,你这话是怎么说的？大过年的怎么能说这么不吉利的话呢？” Zhao Hallmaster immediately embarrassed said: „My this does not worry, I, withdrew the words.” Saying, was telling phlegm toward the ground, indicated that withdrew the words. 赵堂主立刻不好意思的说:“我这也不是太着急嘛,我呸,收回刚才的话。”说着,往地上吐口痰,表示收回刚才的话。 Then also said: „Has not seen Faction Master, hasn't this year everybody excessively, how known from now on this future?” 然后又说:“没看到帮主,这个年大家都没有过好,还不知道今后这个前途如何呢？” The Situ Liang comfort said: „Faction Master, although is not helping, but our Fierce Tiger Gang person not also in? All same were good with before, haven't we extinguished the help/gang?” 司徒亮安慰说:“帮主虽然不在帮中,但我们恶虎帮的人不都还在吗？一切跟以前一样就行了,我们又没有灭帮？” Zhao Hallmaster hehe smiles, said: „Situ Hallmaster, you also spoke the inauspicious words.” 赵堂主嘿嘿一笑,说:“司徒堂主,你也说不吉利的话啦。” Situ Liang stares, at once was also phlegm spits on the ground said: „Takes back, takes back, this matter really worries, making my mouth not select the word.” 司徒亮一愣,旋即也是一口痰吐在地上说:“收回,收回,这事儿真是烦心,让我也口不择言啊。” Zhao Hallmaster said: „Might as well, everybody is not worried about the comfort of Faction Master.” 赵堂主说:“无妨无妨,大家不都担心帮主的安慰嘛。” Situ Liang also said: „Before Faction Master, but actually also has the situation that goes out not to turn over, but that will have the news to pass on, moreover Time that exits were most also on several th, now actually Time long such, is it possible, really......”, Situ Liang does not dare to say again. 司徒亮又说:“帮主以前倒也有外出不归的情况,但那也会有消息传回来,而且出去的时间最多也就几日而已,如今却时间这么的长,难不成,真的……”,司徒亮不敢再多说了。 Zhao Hallmaster connection said: „Situ Hallmaster, Faction Master not in the Time, is the new year's celebration, people in help/gang celebrates the new year at home, in the help/gang does not have what business, saw that this year has wanted, the person must come back, a big pile of business of must process, if, but also does not have the Faction Master news, as if, is not quite wonderful, at least will have the fluctuation of will of the people.” 赵堂主接口说:“司徒堂主,帮主不在的这段时间,正好是过年,帮中的人大都在家过年,帮中也没有什么事务,眼看这个年就要过完了,人都要回来的,一大堆的事务也都要处理了,如果,还没有帮主的消息,似乎,就不太妙呀,至少会有人心的浮动啊。” Situ Liang selected nods saying: „Yes, we must have an agenda first, do not present big fluctuation to be good.” 司徒亮点点头说:“是啊,咱们要先有个议程,不要出现大的波动才好。” Was saying, some people come report, said: „Reported Hallmaster, inside and outside ten has seven people to catch up at high speed to here? Evidently is a Jiang Hu people.” 正说间,有人前来禀报,说:“禀堂主,十里外有七人正快马加鞭向我们这里赶来？看样子是江湖中人。” Situ Liang gawked, looked at Zhao Hallmaster, said: „Can this season, who be? The faction that we are on good terms had come the year ago, not familiar can know this place? Was is it possible passed by?” 司徒亮一愣,望了一眼赵堂主,说:“这个时节,会是谁呢？我们交好的帮派在年前已经来过,不熟悉的又怎能知道这个地方？难不成是路过的？” Zhao Hallmaster said: „Perhaps, but, can be asks us to trouble?” 赵堂主说:“也许吧,不过,会不会是来找我们麻烦的？” Situ Liang shakes the head, said: „Population is not right, how if looks for trouble the trivial seven people are our entire Fierce Tiger Gang match? Although majority of help/gang numerous are not helping, but dozens people have.” 司徒亮摇摇头,说:“人数不对,如果来找麻烦区区七人如何是我们整个恶虎帮的对手？虽然大部分帮众不在帮中,但几十人还是有的。” Zhao Hallmaster has also felt strange, said: „Why does that is come?” 赵堂主也奇怪了,说:“那是为何而来？” Situ Liang said: „We watch changes quietly, first is staring at them, looked whether they come to us, but we must be ready that meets the enemy. Comes the person, the notice to help the brothers, prepares to receive a guest, prepares the signal fireworks, if necessary, informing the brothers in help/gang not to return to help the support.” 司徒亮说:“我们还是静观其变吧,先盯着他们,看他们是否是冲咱们来的,但我们也要做好迎敌的准备。来人,通知帮中的兄弟,做好准备迎客,还有,准备好讯号烟花,如果有需要,通知不在帮中的兄弟回帮支援。” Also more than half tea Time, some people went forward report saying: „Reported Situ Hallmaster, that seven people soon approached the village, behind did not have the troops of brigade.” 又过半盏茶的时间,又有人上前禀报说:“报司徒堂主,那七人快要接近村口了,后面没有大队的人马。” The Situ Liang long body, said to Zhao Hallmaster: „Walks, in our village this road cannot only enter, it seems like comes to our Fierce Tiger Gang.” 司徒亮长身而起,对赵堂主说:“走吧,咱们村中这条路只进不出的,看来是冲着咱们恶虎帮来的。” Zhao Hallmaster also set out saying: „Walks, we receive a guest.” 赵堂主也起身说:“走,咱们去迎客。” What these seven people come is really rapid, when Situ Liang and the others got to the manor entrance, their hoofbeats also passed on, looked at the past from afar, seven people all were the black clothes vigor attires, the appearance was not clear, when the near, everybody saw clearly, these seven people of height were ordinary, the degree of stoutness was actually different, presently one person is a pretty young person, the personal appearance with Situ Liang general thin, carried on the back has actually carried a big sword. 这七人来的真是迅速,当司徒亮等人走到庄园门口时,他们的马蹄声也传了过来,远远看过去,七人皆是黑衣劲装,面目并不清楚,待到近前,大家才看清,这七人高矮一般,胖瘦却是不同,当前一人则是一个眉清目秀的年轻人,身形同司徒亮一般的消瘦,背上却背了一把大剑。 Before seeing only they arrive at the Mountain Village gate, together turning over dismounts, the motion is very agile and consistent, looked that experiences for a long time the training.

This small room is very neat, has a bookshelf by the wall place, above has chocked up the books, the place by the window lays aside the desk, writing brush, ink, paper, ink stone is having it all, before Situ Liang arrives at the desk, sits on the chair, the eye is looking at out of the window, the branch of out of the window, flood Green, has dragged in the spring breeze, rich full Life Force, the Situ Liang look actually passed over gently and swiftly this spring signal, goes to white clouds that the horizon flutters, half sound, shakes the head, rubs the temples with the finger, pulls out Situ Ping that Command Tile from the bosom, bright careful sizing up taking advantage of out of the window. 司徒亮快步走回他那个离大厅不是很远的小屋中,回头看了一眼,然后推门而入。这个小房间很整洁,靠墙的地方有个书架,上面摆满了书籍,靠窗的地方放置着书桌,笔墨纸砚一应俱全,司徒亮走到书桌前,坐着椅子上,眼睛望着窗外,窗外的树枝,已经泛起了绿色,在春风中摇曳,富满生机,司徒亮的眼神却掠过这春天的讯号,投向天边飘飞的白云,半响,摇摇头,用手指揉揉太阳穴,从怀中掏出司徒平的那个令牌,借着窗外的亮光小心的打量。 Suddenly, he stands from the chair, lays aside Command Tile on the table, before oneself half step arrives at the bookshelf, takes out several books gently, in behind of that bookshelf reveals a small box, Situ Liang careful the box attains on the desk, a hand turns on the cover, reveals inside small porcelain bottle, then he skilled takes a writing brush, turns on the cover of porcelain bottle, has dipped some liquids with the writing brush from inside, an only hand takes up Command Tile, uses the writing brush in place careful brushing of Command Tile, really in a Command Tile that small place, reveals three characters gradually. Come, is actually „draw endures calmly”. 蓦然,他从椅子上站起来,把令牌放置在桌子上,自己快步走到书架前轻轻抽出其中的几本书,在那书架的后面露出一个小盒子,司徒亮小心的把盒子拿到书桌上,一只手把盖子打开,露出里面一个小瓷瓶,然后他又熟练的拿起一支毛笔,打开瓷瓶的盖子,用毛笔从里面蘸了一些液体,一只手拿起令牌,用毛笔在令牌的一个地方小心的刷了刷,果然在令牌那个小小的地方,逐渐露出三个字。来,竟然是“平安忍”。 Waits for Situ Liang to tidy up the thing on table, the character on that Command Tile also disappears. He puts in Command Tile the bosom, sits on the chair, frowns the ponder. 等司徒亮把桌子上的东西都收拾好,那令牌上的字也不见了。他把令牌重新放入怀中,坐在椅子上,皱着眉头思考。 A time of food, weather was gradually black, Situ Liang that appearance sits, has not moved slightly. At this time, some outside person knocking on a door of gently, Situ Liang has complied with one sound: „Comes.” 一顿饭的功夫,天色已经渐黑了,司徒亮还是那个样子坐着,丝毫未动。这时,外面有人轻轻的敲门,司徒亮应了一声:“进来。” Some people open the door gently, comes in report: „Situ Hallmaster, soldier Elder, Xing Hallmaster and Hallmaster came back, Present just and Zhao Hallmaster speech, Zhao Hallmaster makes the villain inform Hallmaster one sound.” 有人轻轻推开门,进来禀报:“司徒堂主,褚长老,邢堂主和张堂主已经回来了,现在正和赵堂主说话呢,赵堂主让小人通知堂主一声。” Situ Liang said in a low voice: „Good, I knew, I afterward.” 司徒亮低声说:“好的,我知道了,我随后就到。” Situ Liang waited for the moment, as if had the resolution at heart, this tranquil standing up, has tidied up clothes on lower part of the body, however, went out of the room leisurely. 司徒亮又等了片刻,似乎心里有了决断,这才平静的站起身,收拾了一下身上的衣裳,施施然,走出了房间。 The room to the hall is not very far, unhappiness that but Situ Liang walks, the alley in twilight with the ordinary day not anything difference, but, Situ Liang actually knows, today's Fierce Tiger Gang was different from past Fierce Tiger Gang. 房间离大厅不是很远,但司徒亮走的不快,暮色中的小路跟平日没什么不同,不过,司徒亮却知道,今日的恶虎帮已经不同于往日的恶虎帮了。
