Seven bitter flowers

Chapter 29: The courtyard is deep and the sword is a lamp

The night is deep.

There was silence in the Changfu courtyard.The night wind suddenly picked up, the wind blew the leaves, and several green leaves rolled up with a rustling sound, fluttered in the air a few times, floated into the courtyard, and landed at the feet of a woman in a fiery red dress.

Besides the woman in the red dress, there were eight other people.

Seven men in black, with seven weapons flashing coldly, stood on all sides, forming a circle.A man in white clothes and green face in the circle stood holding hands with the woman in the red skirt.

But the blue-faced man and the red-dressed woman are none other than Zhan Zhao and Ding Xiu.

Several people in Ri Zhanzhao agreed that since the green-faced man had a secret rift with Chang Wuwang, he would definitely not put the Seven Suffering Flowers in the Chang Mansion, so before the full moon, he would leave the Chang Mansion to get the Seven Suffering Flowers.And Chang Wuwang will definitely send people to follow and monitor secretly for fear of making mistakes.

And at this time, it must be the moment when Chang Mansion's guard is the most relaxed.

If at such a time, Zhan Zhao and Ding Xiu appeared as the green-faced man and the red dragonfly, it would definitely disrupt all Chang Wuwang's plans.If Chang Wuwang's eyes are hidden and he earns him to take the two to the dungeon, he can take the opportunity to rescue a few children.If Chang Wuwang finds out, they can also use the fastest speed to catch Chang Wuwang by surprise. Taking advantage of the chaos in the courtyard, Bai Yutang and Yan Laosan will go into the mansion together to find the dungeon and rescue the child.

This plan seemed simple, but Zhan Zhao and the others did take a huge risk.If the green-faced man came back earlier, or if the red dragonfly was not with the blue-faced man during this trip, or if there were more masters guarding the dungeon in the mansion, their situation would be quite unfavorable at that time, so Zhan Zhao proposed this idea at the beginning Sometimes, he was quite hesitant.

Bai Yutang didn't care about it, but Yan Jian had been in the world for many years, and he wanted to repay the life-saving grace of the medicine Panax notoginseng, so he had already pinned his head to his belt.The two of them seem to think that the greater the danger, the more interesting they are, applauding Zhan Zhao's trickery.

Ding Xiu also gave Zhan Zhao a reassurance with a smile: "Even if there is any change, with the three masters in the world, what situation can't be turned around? What's more, your worry is a bit unnecessary, Shangguan... that Shangguan... He was going to fetch the seven bitter flowers, and when he came back, he would naturally bring the seven bitter flowers with him. Chang Wuwang was very powerful, and he only had two people. The sooner he came back, the greater the possibility of being tricked by Chang Wuwang. He wished he could come back late Some, how could they return early?

"There is also Red Dragonfly. The reason why I pretended to be her is because I have seen her face and heard her voice in the bamboo forest outside the city, and she must have colluded with that Shangguan, so this time she is following that Shangguan." The possibility of being around him is the greatest. As for whether the red dragonfly is really by his side, it is not that important. Could it be that the Shangguan surnamed changed his partner, and Chang Wuwang would come up to bite him because of this?

"The only thing worth worrying about is that there may still be some mysteries in the Changwuwang Mansion, but I think it is unlikely that there are more masters in it." Ding Xiu said, turning to look at Bai Yutang, "Is Fifth Master here?" Have you heard about the last whereabouts of Madam Chou, the 'Seven Skillful Craftsman'?"

Bai Yutang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "That's right, Chang Wuwang's elder brother once asked Mrs. Chou to design the garden. There is a possibility that there is a mechanism designed by Mrs. Chou in the mansion. But..." He said "Hey" and laughed, with a good look Li obviously didn't pay attention to this skilled craftsman.

Zhan Zhao finally nodded slowly, looked at the crowd, and said in a concentrated voice, "Be careful."

Thus, there was a party in Changfu tonight.

But what surprised Zhan Zhao was that this time he and Ding Xiuyue entered the courtyard of the Changfu, only seven people surrounded them, and the sword-wielder with the highest martial arts that day was not among them.On the one hand, Zhan Zhao followed the previous agreement and wrote down the internal strength of the people around him in the hands he held with Ding Xiu, on the other hand, he secretly speculated that Chang Wuwang sent this person with the highest martial arts to monitor the green-faced man this time. Or send that person to the dungeon guard.

Ding Xiu didn't open his mouth first, stretched out his right hand suddenly, pushed and pressed down, and made several gestures like playing a qin and a drum, then snorted and said: "Changfu really treats guests well, it's really embarrassing for the two of us several times. Is the Shangguan family easy to bully? You must know that it is not a man's doing to bear it again and again, this time we have to talk face to face with Mr. Chang." These few words were spoken without any haste, but the language The voice was charming and gentle, Zhan Zhao thought it was the tone of the voice he heard in the bamboo forest that day.

Hearing this, the burly man in the head moved slightly, as if he was quite afraid. Ding Xiu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, for he had really been fooled by what he said just now.

The big man hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the inner hall with a slight bow, his steps were steady, but he did not lose his demeanor.Looking at the man's back, Zhan Zhao's thoughts suddenly changed. Should he get angry, or wait and see?If you make a move at this time, there are only these six people around, and there are no people with outstanding martial arts, the chances of winning are very high.but if……

While meditating, he suddenly felt Ding Xiu's fingers move in his palm, and hurriedly wrote a word:

"hit"!

Zhan Zhao was startled, and was about to grab her with his backhand, but Ding Xiu had already turned away like a fish swimming, raised his palm, and waved towards the person with the worst internal strength on the right back.

That person has mediocre internal strength, but he is a master of outsiders' kung fu. Seeing that a timid girl in Ding Xiu was fighting with her palms, she was overjoyed and was about to greet her with skillful palms. The hand that Xiu waved over carried a sweet and greasy fragrance. When he smelled it, he became dizzy and fell down after turning around.

Ding Xiu's palm hadn't landed yet, and she turned away again, she could see her red sleeves fluttering, like a butterfly wearing a flower, she slapped or kicked, and immediately attacked each of the remaining five people One move, but every move was a false move, and the fists and feet turned away before reaching the body.None of these five moves hit the opponent, but the remaining five were afraid of the poison in her palm, so they didn't dare to fight back, and Ding Xiu forced them into a panic.

They didn't know that although Ding Xiu's medical skills were high, he had never practiced Poison Palm, just now he made the first palm. make this one time.But her tricks are weird, and when she strikes the palm, there is a gust of fragrant wind, which makes everyone dodge in a panic.

At the moment when the formation of five people was slightly chaotic, Zhan Zhao drew his long sword out of its sheath with a "choke", and he saw that the formation was originally used by nine people at the same time, and it was extremely powerful. The more complete, the less powerful.There are only five people left now, and the five people's footwork is already disordered and they can't cooperate with each other. It's the best time to break the formation. Immediately, the tip of the sword pointed diagonally, and stabbed at a man with two knives in the northwest corner.

Before becoming an official, Zhan Zhao walked the rivers and lakes. He was known as "Nan Xia". The giant sword in his hand had already made his magic. "Ding ding ding ding" the sound was endless, the five people were either hit by the sword or hit the acupuncture points, the weapons in their hands could not be held firmly, and they all fell down.

Before Chang Wuwang had time to digest Lin Chu's words, he heard the commotion in the courtyard again, and secretly yelled "No!", his body moved, and he rushed out of the courtyard, with Li Bai and Lin Chu behind him. They looked at each other and followed.

When Chang Wuwang rushed to the courtyard, the last man in black had already fallen down. He was so anxious and angry that he didn't have time to get the weapon, so he raised his palm and slapped Zhan Zhao's back with a roar. With the last pick and counter move, the two immediately fought together.

At the same time, Fang Libai drew his long sword out of its sheath and stabbed at Ding Xiu. With a "buzzing" sound from the blade, seven or eight sword shadows flashed in an instant, covering Ding Xiu's whole body.Seeing this momentum, Ding Xiu felt timid, turned his wrists sharply, and had two daggers in his hands, hurriedly drove towards Fang Libai's long sword.

Lin Chu was not in a hurry to make a move, after a few moves, he knew that Ding Xiu's martial arts were far inferior, so he shook the long knife in his hand and jumped into the circle, attacking Ding Xiu together with Fang Libai.He guessed that Shangguanyan and Red Dragonfly had a lot to do with each other, as long as one was restrained, the other would be easy to deal with. When the knife was thrown, it seemed like the wind was blowing, dancing up and down in white light.Ding Xiu fought alone and Fang Libai was struggling alone. At this time, coupled with Lin Chu's rush to attack, he was at a loss, making repeated moves in danger.

*******************************************************************************

When several people in the courtyard were fighting, Bai Yutang and Yan Laosan had already sneaked into the mansion.The two acted separately, looking for the dungeon, and encountered ordinary servants, how could they be their opponents?

At that moment Yan Jian went into each room, but there were people in the room, so he knocked him down, sealed the dumb acupoint, and kept them silent.Then Yan Jian followed the method Bai Yutang said before to search for secret passages. He originally thought that no matter how big Changfu is, it only has a few rooms. How could he imagine that Changfu not only has many houses, but also has different rooms? The design is exquisite, and each room is quite new. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that a lot of thought has gone into it.But in Yan Jian's eyes, he only felt that these rooms were set one after another, with curtains, bed curtains, screens and scrolls. It's a pile of eye-catching Lao Shizi.

After searching all the way to the back hall, one by one, at least seventeen or eight rooms were searched, but they couldn't find even the slightest sign of secret passages. Yan Jian couldn't help but feel quite frustrated.When I met Bai Yutang, seeing that he also looked depressed, I knew he had gotten nothing. After discussing a few words, they went to investigate the back hall together.

After entering the back hall, one could faintly hear the sound of weapons clashing, but one didn't know what the situation was.Bai Yutang made a gesture to signal Yan Jian to follow him closely, Yan Jian just nodded when he suddenly heard Ding Xiu's scream, there was pain in the cry, as if he was injured.Yan Jian's body shook, and he wanted to rush to the courtyard, but Bai Yutang grabbed him.

Bai Yutang looked at Yan Jian, and only said four words in a low voice: "Zhan Zhao is over there." After speaking, he swept into the lobby on the left without looking back.

Yan Jian gritted his teeth and had no choice but to follow.

As soon as Yan Jian entered the lobby, Yan Jian was stunned for a moment, and saw that the center of the lobby was empty, while the surrounding walls were surrounded by three or four layers of iron shelves in a disorderly manner. All weapons.

This lobby turned out to be a huge armory.
