Now there are no less than ten righteous armies in the two realms of Henan and Jin, with the "Zijin Liang" Wang Ziyong, the "Chuang Wang" Gao Yingxiang, and the "Eight Kings" Zhang Xianzhong The three families have the most soldiers and horses, and the strength is the strongest. This time, the uprising meeting was initiated by the "Zijin Liang" Wang himself, and invited Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and other leaders of the Eighth Route Righteous Army to form 36 battalions of men and horses to discuss the plan of joining forces to attack the county capitals and counties of the two borders.

Although Li Zicheng's Biluo Cottage has always fought alone, it is nominally under the command of Gao Yingxiang, the "King of Chuang", and now that he has received a letter, he has to participate.

Li Zicheng went down the mountain early the next morning, and the journey to Liaozhou was not close, and he would definitely not be able to return within ten or eight days. Li Guo and Hao Shaoqi went to Jinjing with Li Zicheng, while Tian Jianxiu had to preside over the defense of the cottage, and could no longer come to Hua Bushi to eat and drink, and the stone house by the waterfall was deserted.

In the next two days, Hua Bushi either walked and chatted with Yang Jiangyi, or played with Xiao Ningning, and lived a leisurely life, but Chu Yiyi had not yet delivered the news back, and I didn't know how well she listened to the situation in Yujing, which made the eldest young master a little anxious.

In the early morning of this day, Hua Bushi sat in front of the window drinking tea and watching the scenery, and also looked at Xiao Ningning at the table. The little girl was carrying a brush, leaning over the wooden table, writing intently on a blank piece of paper, and in the stone house, except for the two of them, only the big white dog princess curled up in the corner and slumbered off.

The windows of the stone house are facing Biyun Waterfall, and the view is excellent.

But I saw the waterfall pouring down from the mountain, with a total height of more than 30 zhang. A horizontal stone beam protrudes from the stone wall at the place of ten zhang, and the water first flies on the stone beam, and then falls down twenty zhang, falling into the deep pool at the bottom of the waterfall. The whole waterfall is like a huge stone staircase covered with a white cloth, and the turbulence smashes the stone beams, splashing the pearls and jade, stirring up bursts of mist of water.

On the mountain walls on both sides, the plants are very lush due to the moisture of the waterfall, and the grass is like green, and there are many small flowers of various colors blooming in between. The layers of white mist are pervasive, like a soft veil gently pulled, and it looks like there is a bit of poetry in the mountains of the south of the Yangtze River.

Hua Bushi's eyes had been looking out of the window, but at this time, he suddenly turned to the courtyard door. Just because there were two people walking along the stone path outside the door, one after the other.

The woman in front was wearing a long skirt with a turquoise print, with a silk waist tied at the waist, a thin powder on her face, and a beautiful appearance. The two of them walked slowly, and in a moment they had come close and entered the small courtyard.

Hua Bushi hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said, "Li Fu ** is here with a car, what a rare guest!"

At this time, Gao Wanrong and the servant had already entered the threshold of the stone house, but this Mrs. Li was just standing on the ground and did not speak for a while.

Hua Bushi turned his head and said to the little girl lying on the table: "Ning Ning, Brother Shi has a guest here, you go back and write first, remember to put these words on the table today." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a pen from the pen stand, wrote a few words on the white paper, and handed it to Xiao Ningning. The little girl was very well-behaved, took the paper in her hand, and responded: "Haode, then Ning Ning will go back first! Brother Shi zaijian, Aunt Gao zaijian!"

Seeing Xiao Ningning running away from the courtyard gate, Hua Bushi suddenly turned his face and said in a deep voice: "Since Your Excellency is here, how about sitting down and drinking a cup of tea first?"

When he said this, his eyes were not looking at Gao Wanrong, but at the servant who was standing behind Gao Wanrong with his hands down.

The man looked to be thirty or forty years of age, of medium stature, neither tall nor strong, with a pair of broom eyebrows on his forehead, small and round eyes underneath, a slightly sunken nose, but a mouth that was not small. He wore a coarse cloth shirt and trousers with sparse black hair tied up on top of his head, and wore an earthy gray coarse cloth shirt and trousers, standing down, his palms hidden in his sleeves, and a pair of bast shoes under his feet.

Except that he was very ugly, this man was no different from an ordinary servant, and he was really inconspicuous at all.

Seeing Hua Bushi looking at him, the servant-looking man had a shocked expression on his face and said, "Is Young Master Shi talking to me?"

Hua Bushi said with a calm face: "Young Master Ben is talking to you! You kidnapped Mrs. Li here just to find Young Master Ben, and now that you have seen me, why don't you understand her acupoints?"

The princess, who was originally curled up in the corner of the wall to sleep, had already woken up at this time, probably feeling the hostility of the master Hua Bushi to the man, and the bristles on the back of the big white dog's neck suddenly stood up, grinning and roaring, revealing her sharp teeth, and posing as a jiashi to bite.

Hua Bushi waved his hand and said, "Princess, come back! This person is a top master, you can't bite him if you want to." ”

Although the big white dog was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey his master's orders, and retreated to the corner with his teeth biting.

The surprised expression on the face of the servant-looking ugly man disappeared, but he suddenly showed a cold smile and said, "The evil dog boy is really alert, not only can he see that this woman has been hit by the acupoint, but he can also know that he is strong in martial arts. ”

As he spoke, his arm was raised, and a "sneering" finger was pointed out from his sleeve. Gao Wanrong's whole body was shocked, and she screamed softly with "ah" in her mouth, showing that the sealed acupoint had been unlocked.

It is more difficult to solve the acupoints in the air than to seal the acupoints in the air, and even the first-class players in the rivers and lakes may not be able to do it. This man can easily unlock the acupuncture points when he points it out, but it seems that it takes no effort at all.

Gao Wanrong's acupoint was first explained, her hands covered her chest, and she said to Hua Bushi: "Shi Gongzi, he ...... He...... forced the concubine to lead the way...... He also knocked down more than a dozen pro-soldiers......"

Hua Bushi said indifferently: "This person must have come to find me, but he was frightened by his sister-in-law, and he couldn't help it." ”

He turned his gaze, looked at the man who looked like a servant, and said, "With Your Excellency's ability, why bother with women and soldiers who don't know martial arts?"

The ugly man snorted and said, "How can I find you hiding in such a secret place as the back mountain, and if you don't let her lead the way?" You can rest assured that those defeated soldiers are just being hit by the acupuncture points, and they will be able to extricate themselves in three or five hours. ”

Hua Bushi said: "In this way, you are really here for me, but you don't know what to do with Young Master Ben?"

The ugly man's face showed a sneer again, and he said, "Just now you said that you wanted to invite me to sit down for tea, did you forget?"

Hua Bushi frowned slightly, and said, "Zunjia came to me, is it just to drink tea?"

The man said, "Yes, I just want to take a sip of tea now, even if I kill someone, I only have to wait until I finish drinking tea!"

He said this viciously, Hua Bushi's brows furrowed deeper, and he looked at the other party for a moment before saying, "Okay, then please take a seat!"

The man was not polite, and walked to the table in two steps, and sat down on the chair. Hua Bushi also sat down opposite him, reached out to take the teapot on the table, took another teacup, and poured tea into the cup. And the man glared at Gao Wanrong who was standing aside, and shouted, "You sit down too!"

Gao Wanrong was already frightened, she was restrained by this man before, knowing that he was strong in martial arts, she didn't dare to disobey at this time, she trembled and approached, and sat down on another chair.

Hua Bushi has always been particular about drinking tea, and this trip to Yujing also brought a lot of good tea, and the tea leaves in the pot are the high-grade Tieguanyin. He filled one up, raised his hand in front of the man, and said, "Please." ”

The ugly man stared at the teacup, and with a flick of his sleeve, he picked it up, and poured it into his big mouth and swallowed it with a "bang". He drank a cup of tea very refreshingly, and seemed to be not afraid of being hot, nor was he afraid of whether there was poison in the tea.

Hua Bushi took the empty teacup, made another cup, and put it in front of the ugly man. The ugly man picked it up and drank it again.

Hua Bushi poured three cups in a row, and the ugly man drank them all in one gulp. After three cups, Hua Bushi stopped pouring tea and said, "Your Excellency said that you want to take a sip of tea, and now that you have drunk three cups, if you have anything else, you might as well do it." ”

The ugly man stretched out his hand and slapped it heavily on the table, saying, "It's really strange! I have only seen people who are in a hurry to make money and get rich and beg for a daughter-in-law, but I have never seen anyone who is in a hurry to die!"

Hua Bushi said: "You're here to kill me?"

The ugly man said, "Yes, do you think I can't kill you?"

Hua Bushi said: "Young Master Ben has no power to restrain the chicken, but Your Excellency has extraordinary martial arts, so you can kill me." Anyway, I'm already a dying person, and even if I recognize your identity, I can't pass it on. ”

The ugly man's eyes flashed, and he said, "Oh? I was born like this, do you think it's fake?"

Hua Bushi stared at the ugly man's face and said, "Your Excellency's appearance may be true, but you have changed your body shape with the 'Bone Shrinking Skill', do you think Young Master Ben can't see it?"

According to legend, those who practice this skill can bend, dislocate, or even deform the bones and joints of the limbs at will, thus changing the height and shape of the person.

This kung fu practice is very difficult, but it is not very useful, except for the use of disguise to change the body shape, is to use the "bone shrinking technique" to drill through narrow holes that ordinary people cannot pass through, etc., probably only when stealing or robbing tombs, will be useful. It is precisely because it is useless that although everyone knows about this skill, there are not many people who actually practice it.

A pair of round eyes under the broom eyebrows of the ugly man stared at Hua Bushi, and only after a while did he say: "I have practiced the 'bone shrinking skill' for more than ten years, and it is the first time that someone has seen a flaw, Young Master Hua's vision is not shallow, which makes me admire!"

Hua Bushi said indifferently: "Young Master Ben has studied a classic book about 'meeting people', if it weren't for that, he wouldn't be able to see Your Excellency's secret technique." ”

The ugly man grinned, as if he was laughing, but the ferocity on his face did not diminish slightly, and suddenly there was a soft "cluck", but his right arm stretched out an inch in vain!
