In a teahouse in Ping'anfang in the capital, Liu Xiang and Gou Er sat there drinking tea, and next to them, there was a well-dressed old man who was also drinking tea leisurely.

Liu Xiang took a bite of the bun and whispered to Gou Er: "Crazy Gou Er, when should we go to the vicinity of the prison to have a look?" ”

"Don't worry, Brother Liu, this kind of thing can't be rushed, the so-called anxious can't eat hot tofu, this kind of thing has to be done slowly, the slower the better. To tell you the truth, if you don't save my life in the temple, I don't want to take this risk with you. ”

When Liu Xiang heard Gou Er say this, there was nothing he could do for a while, he had never been to the capital, he was not familiar with the people here, and he had to rely on Gou Er, a local.

While they were talking, three men came out of a room in the alley in the distance, all three of whom were large-shouldered and round-waisted, and extremely burly

They came over swearing, as if they had lost money there, and when they got to the teahouse, they sat next to the decent old man, and counted each other's faults.

As he spoke, one of them became angry, lifted a teapot up, and smashed it on the head of one of his companions.

The companion was injured, and he didn't talk nonsense, stood up, picked up the chair and slammed it over.

The rest of the man was there to persuade him, but to no avail, the two men still fought. The people in this teahouse didn't want to get into trouble, so they all got up and retreated.

Seeing this, the old man put the tea money on the table and got up to leave, but by coincidence, the three of them got closer and closer, blocking the old man in the teahouse.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but one of them collided with the old man, and then the man said loudly: "You old man dare to provoke me, see that I don't flatten you." ”

The other two also surrounded the old man and said to the old man: "Our brothers are fighting, what do you care about, do you still want to rely on the old man and sell the old to bully the three of us brothers?" ”

Seeing this situation, Liu Xiang suddenly understood in his heart that these three people were here to trouble this old man, he was enthusiastic for a while, walked over, and said to the three of them: "The three of you are obviously here to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, how can you blame this old man." ”

When the three of them saw Liu Xiangqiang coming out, they didn't talk nonsense, and directly waved their fists and hit him.

Liu Xiang has practiced martial arts with Chuanlan for several months, but he can't deal with masters, but he is still easy at dealing with this kind of strong man.

He unfolded the Luohan fist, the tiger was vigorous, pointing to the east and the west, and the guide to the north, and for a while, the three of them were hit by him a few times, and their noses were blue and their faces were swollen.

At this time, two guards wearing guard clothes and carrying long knives at their waists came over, and when they saw Liu Xiang, they were angry and said, "It's your little monk who has come to spoil our brother's good deeds." ”

Sha Tongtian and Sha Tonghai thought of Liu Xiang stopping them in Hailan City, and today they ruined their plans, it was really a new hatred and old hatred surging into their hearts, and without saying a word, they pulled out their sabers to leave a little mark for Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang watched the two of them slash like a thunderbolt, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, a lazy donkey rolled and dodged.

The Sha brothers' double knives attacked again like the wind, and when Liu Xiang had nowhere to dodge, Gou Er picked up the bench and swept through the thousands of troops with one move, colliding with the Sha brothers' sabers.

The Sha brothers laughed secretly in their hearts, thinking that the internal strength of the two of them was also the best in the world, so they did not withdraw their knives and passed on their internal strength.

However, to their surprise, the internal force of this unattractive monk was like the tide of a big river, endless, not only blocking all their internal strength, but also attacking them.

The Sha brothers can only secretly say that it is not good, and it is not good to withdraw at this time, as long as their internal force is loosened, the internal force on the opposite side will directly surge over, shattering their meridians, and they will become wasted at best, and they will be killed at worst.

The three of them fought for a quarter of an hour, and the Sha brothers' internal strength was exhausted, and the two nodded, threw the knife and chair into the air with the last force, so as to interrupt the internal force struggle.

However, the two of them also vomited blood at the same time, and when they abandoned the saber, Gou Er's internal force also attacked in the situation, shocking their internal organs.

The Sha brothers didn't even say polite words, and left here embarrassed, Gou Er looked at his hands, and said with a smile: "Finally, finally I am crazy Gou Er has practiced this magic skill, from now on, except for the person who passed the lamp, who is my opponent in the world." ”

When Liu Xiang heard this, he didn't say anything, he knew that Gou Er had always been crazy, and what he said was not credible. And Liu Xiang thinks that the Sha brothers are nothing more than that, when they were in Hailan City, they couldn't even deal with those little monks, and their martial arts were very limited.

At this time, the old man came over and said to them: "Thank you two heroes for saving your life, the old man is grateful......

Gou Er's ears moved, and he said to the old man: "Don't say more, there are soldiers outside, there are more than 100 people, it seems that they are arresting you, an old fellow." ”

When the old man heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said: "This, this, please also ask the two heroes to help people to the end and send the Buddha to the west." ”

"It's easy to say, you have to take out the silver, don't talk about the West, even if it is Mount Meru, we can send you up." Gou Er squinted his eyes and looked the old man up and down.

The old man didn't talk nonsense, took off the jade pendant on his waist, Gou Er took the jade pendant into his arms, and then carried the old man on his back and shuttled through the alley of Ping'an Fang.

Because he can hear and distinguish shapes, the actions of the soldiers outside were heard by Gou Er a few feet away, and it was naturally an easy thing for Gou Er to avoid them.

They went out of the city, Gou Er took the old man to his home, at this time Gou Er's father was gnawing on the dog's leg there, and when he saw them coming back, he shook his head and said, "I only found this one dogleg today, and you two have no share." Alas, now people are really becoming more and more unfilial, and they went to the grave with two steamed buns and a dog's leg. ”

Gou Er didn't pay attention to his father, and after letting the old man enter the room, he took out his jade pendant and said to his father, "Father, how much do you think this jade is worth?" ”

When Gou's father saw this jade pendant, he was surprised that the dog's legs in his hand fell off, snatched it up, rubbed it carefully, and said, "I heard people say that this jade is the same as people, it is warm." I can't believe it, isn't this jade just a stone? How can it be warm, today is a long insight. ”

"Father, it's good to be a piece of real jade, it's good to be a piece of real jade." Gou Er took the jade pendant back without moving, and when Gou's father saw this situation, he watched Gou Er take the jade pendant back.

Father Gou thought about it, picked up the dog leg that fell on the ground, then patted the ash on it, handed it to Gou Er and said, "Second dog, come and eat the dog leg, can you give your father and me another touch of that jade." ”

Gou Er was not polite, took a bite and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, wait for me to bring it for a few days." ”

At this time, the old man walked out and said to Gou Er: "Hero, if you can send the old man to the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion, the old man can give you another five hundred taels of silver." ”

When the father and son of the Gou family heard this, their eyes widened, and their eyes seemed to fall off.

"Five hundred taels, five hundred taels of silver, Gou Er, hurry, send this lord to the Nine Emperors' Mansion, quickly."

Gou Er also walked over with a happy face and said to the old man, "Quick, I'll carry you up." ”

At this time, Liu Xiang shook his head and said, "If we take him like this, it will be difficult to send him in." ”

The old man nodded and said to Gou Er: "Yes, the old man thought that the old man had been arrested in the city now. If the two heroes have a heart, they can go to the Nine Emperors' Mansion and tell the Nine Emperors that a person surnamed Ma is here with you. Naturally, the Nine Emperor Princes will have a way to get the old decay back. ”

At this time, Liu Xiang thought for a while, and said to the old man: "This is not necessary, the small one has a way, I can send you to the mansion of the Nine Emperor Princes, but I want to wronged you." ”

The old man said that there was nothing to do, so Liu Xiang began to prepare, for the five hundred taels of silver, the father and son of the Gou family helped wholeheartedly.

The next morning, Gou Er and Liu Xiang pushed a cart into the city, which was loaded with dry firewood.

When they reached the city gate, they saw a sign posted at the gate with the old man's head painted on it.

Liu Xiang didn't dare to look more, lowered his head, and pushed the cart into the city gate quickly.

The soldier looked at the two of them, this kind of country man who chops wood and sells wages to earn a living doesn't know how many there are every day, so he doesn't care, nods and lets them in.

The two pushed the cart along Suzaku Avenue into the inner city, and were stopped at the gate of the inner city and asked, "Who are you giving this firewood to?" ”

"It was Steward Zhou from the Nine Emperors' Mansion who asked us to send it." Last night, the old man told them about the situation in the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion. The soldier asked a few words, and saw that Liu Xiang had nothing wrong, so he let him go.

Liu Xiang entered the inner city, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, thinking about the route that the old man had explained yesterday, and came to the back door of the Nine Emperors' mansion.

Seeing that no one was following behind him, Liu Xiang wiped the sweat off his face, straightened his clothes, and knocked on the door. After a while, a little guy came out, looked them up and down, and said, "Who are you?"

Liu Xiang asked Gou Er to hand the jade pendant to the little maid and told the little maid: "You take this jade pendant to see Zhou Xing's housekeeper, he will naturally understand." ”

Although the little girl was puzzled, he still took the jade pendant and went to find Zhou Xing, and soon this Zhou housekeeper came to the backyard and said to them, "Come with me." ”

The two pushed the cart and walked through the back door, and then Zhou Xing took them to the firewood room and said to them: "You all go to the kitchen to help, if I wait to go out and see someone outside, I will have a meal at that time." ”

Everyone hurriedly said yes, and after they left, Liu Xiang threw the firewood aside to the two, picked up the sleeping old man inside and put it on the soft straw.

"What's wrong with this, Mr. Ma?"

Gou Er smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just ordered his sleeping hole so that he wouldn't suffer in the car." ”

Saying that, Gou Er unlocked the acupoint, and the manager of the horse woke up slowly, and Steward Zhou hurriedly said, "Manager Ma, are you okay?" ”

Manager Ma frowned unhappily, and said to Zhou Xing: "Go to the account room to bring five hundred taels of silver, half silver and half ticket, no, let's use all the silver, anyway, the two of you have this car." ”
