I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Rao is Gongsun Hao who has exquisite martial arts and fierce shots, and is also thorny and afraid of countless poisonous snakes that have undergone special training.In addition, Pei Xiang cooperated with the group of snakes to attack with swords from time to time, which made him scurry and unpredictable.

Therefore, from the time when the snakes came out of the woods to when Gongsun Hao was poisoned and fell to the ground, it was only half a stick of incense.

Seeing that Gongsun Hao had lost his fighting power, Pei Xiang blew the bone whistle again, and followed the method taught by Ouyang Zheng to make the group of snakes dormant quietly.Then, she walked over the snakes to Gongsun Hao's side, and fed him two more poisons, and then she was completely relieved.

Picking up Gongsun Hao who was stiff and motionless, Pei Xiang returned the same way.

The battle between Master Yuanchen and Qiu Qianren is still going on. The gang members of the Iron Palm Gang and the Jiangnan rangers who came to help fight with the guards of Baituoshan. Seeing that this chaotic battle cannot be decided in a short time Come on, Pei Xiang blew the bone whistle again.

When the whistle sounded, the guards of White Camel Mountain all looked relieved.None of the dozens of masters was eager to fight. Almost as soon as the whistle sounded, the guards in white retreated away from the opponent's attack range, and then gathered around Pei Xiang without hesitation, protecting her in the middle.

The situation on the field changed instantly, and before the Iron Palm could figure out why the opponent suddenly withdrew, a new opponent had quietly appeared.

These martial arts men who were licking blood at the knife edge suddenly felt a chill, and some people got goosebumps inexplicably, and then, one after another, cold and slippery long snakes appeared in their field of vision...

The whistle sounds vary in length, and the group of snakes changes directions from time to time, or lie dormant and silent in the grass, or hover and twist on the rocks, or quietly coil and hang from high places, with pairs of cold and gloomy snake eyes hanging down, staring closely at the snakes. Looking at the flesh and blood present.

In the silent confrontation between the snake and the human, Qiu Qianren had no choice but to stop attacking. He quickly retracted his palms and retreated, keeping a distance from Pei Xiang's men and horses.

After he saw the situation around him clearly, he looked at the slender and graceful figure in the center of the crowd with some disbelief, the expression on his face changed rapidly, and a feeling of dread arose spontaneously.

The whistle finally stopped, and the only woman who had no internal strength teased a small blue and red-striped snake on her shoulder, smiling sweetly:

"Do you want to continue to fight? Swords have no eyes, and please be merciful to my little cuties. Their poison is not fatal, and it's okay to be bitten. It’s just moving. But my mind is still clear, and I can still understand people’s words.”

Pei Xiang, who took off her veil, showed a face like a fairy. She was full of smiles and graceful, standing among a group of well-dressed and heroic guards, she was like a graceful woman, light and soft.Just looking at it gives people the desire to pick it up.

But at this moment, none of the men present dared to show any intimacy or admiration, they all shuddered at the same time, and the word "femme fatale" popped out of their minds.

Qiu Qianren was overwhelmed by surprise.He averted his eyes and glanced at Gongsun Hao who was lying motionless on the ground, and then at the poisonous snake not far away that was spitting out snake letters, and finally restrained the contempt and arrogance in his heart, and asked Pei Xiangsu in a loud voice:

"Young lady is very good at repelling snakes. I don't think she is an unknown person. Can I ask the young lady for her teacher's name? Today's disputes are mostly caused by misunderstandings. In the future, Qiu and brother Hao will definitely come to apologize, explain the reasons clearly, and resolve the misunderstanding. Please be generous, girl, if you forgive me, I will turn hostility into friendship."

Qiu Qianren eased her attitude, Pei Xiang was not aggressive, she said politely:

"Qiu Shaoxia, my surname is Pei, and my husband's family is Ouyang's family in the White Camel Mountain in the Western Region. I have been waiting for the name of the Iron Palm Gang for a long time, and I was supposed to go to the Iron Palm Peak to meet the head of the Shangguan. However, there is something urgent at home, and I have been in a hurry for days. , for fear of being impolite, I dare not rush to the door, and I hope you will forgive me."

Hearing that Pei Xiang is married, her maiden name is Pei, and her husband's family name is Ouyang. Looking at her snake-riding skills and the white-clothed guards beside her, Qiu Qianren, who has already started to work with the Iron Palm Helper, suddenly realized and immediately figured out Pei Xiang's identity. background.

He immediately thought of that Ouyang Feng of the White Camel Mountain who was very skilled, and then realized that the Pei family related to the White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions was not the Pei family who was good at swordsmanship and poison art?

——Isn't it... the father-in-law's house of the owner of the Unfeeling Valley who was frozen on the ground?

Thinking of this relationship, Qiu Qianren's face instantly showed a strange smile.

He knew why Gongsun Hao wanted to kill that couple, and he also knew that Pei's family had a funeral recently, and their Iron Palm Gang even sent elders to offer their condolences.

——But this son-in-law still stays outside chasing down lovers and concubines... Then, he meets his sister-in-law who is not easy to mess with at first glance...

Qiu Qianren looked at Pei Xiang's appearance calmly, and when he took a closer look, he found that Mrs. Ouyang's facial features were somewhat similar to her sister's.It's just that the two people's temperaments are completely different, and their expressions are also far apart. Looking at them coldly, it's hard to think that they are related by blood.

"Where where..."

Qiu Qianren pretended not to be aware of the embarrassing situation between the Gongsun family and the Pei family, and laughed loudly:

"It turned out to be Mrs. Ouyang, I'm sorry. Since Madam is in a hurry, it's important to hurry. We people in Jianghu don't care about trivial matters, and our family teachers are the most kind, lenient, urgent and righteous. How can we care about these red tapes?

"Speaking of which, if the family teacher finds out about this misunderstanding, he will definitely reprimand Qiu. Mrs. Ouyang and Master Yuanchen, if they come to Jiangnan in another day, they must let Qiu be the host and show some kindness as a landlord. Guests Don't think the wine and food are vulgar."

Pei Xiangying saluted and thanked him, and exchanged a few polite words with Qiu Qianren.When both sides had saved enough face, Pei Xiang changed his expression, and sighed to Gongsun Hao who was lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment:

"Brother-in-law, forgive me for not recognizing you as a relative. But I can't blame you. My younger sister married far away in the Western Regions, so naturally I didn't have the chance to meet my brother-in-law. This time my mother passed away, and my younger sister was very sad." , I was so dazed that I didn’t notice which dutiful son in the mourning hall was my brother-in-law, so we didn’t know each other when we met, and we turned swords against each other, almost flooding the Dragon King Temple.”

Gongsun Hao's eyeballs rolled sharply, his face turned red, and he wanted to say something when he saw it, but he could only open his mouth and make a sound, as if he was eager to explain something.

Pei Xiang smiled slightly, ignored him, and said to Qiu Qianren who was beside him:

"Qiu Shaoxia, since we all know that this is a misunderstanding, then the matter will be easy to handle. Before I left, my sister was very concerned about the Gongsun Valley Master who was running around outside, and told me that if I saw my brother-in-law, I must persuade him to go home as soon as possible. Now that I have been entrusted by my sister, it is natural to do my best to reunite my brother-in-law with my sister and his wife as soon as possible. Qiu Shaoxia, choosing a date is worse than hitting the sun, I plan to have someone escort my brother-in-law to Pei's house right now, what do you think?"

Qiu Qianren glanced at the group of snakes that had never retreated, thinking that the Pei family in Guizhou and the White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions were both famous for their poisonous arts, and they were both well-known martial arts forces. Home.

What's more, it involves other people's housework, and it's not easy for an outsider to stop him.

"Mrs. Ouyang is right. Brother Hao actually misses his relatives very much. When we had dinner together yesterday, Brother Hao said he would go home as soon as possible."

Pei Xiang nodded, clapped his hands happily and said:

"Great, since everyone agrees with this matter, then it's decided. I will arrange guards to send Valley Master Gongsun to Pei's house in person."

Qiu Qianren groaned for a moment, he still didn't want to completely offend Gongsun Hao, so he tentatively asked:

"Since they are all from my own family, what about brother Hao's poison?"

"Poison?" Pei Xiang was surprised, "How can there be any poison? Qiu Shaoxia must not misunderstand, how could I poison my relatives and not give the antidote?"

Qiu Qianren choked, and pointed at Gongsun Hao with a smirk:

"Mrs. Ouyang really likes to joke. Brother Hao is lying on the ground motionless, unable to speak. Isn't it poisoned?"

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Young Xia Qiu has a deep brotherhood."

Qiu Qianren sighed, pretending to be confiding, and persuaded in a low voice:

"Mrs. Ouyang, to be honest, even if my sister complains about Brother Hao, she doesn't want her husband to be in such a mess. Mrs. Ouyang feels that she is doing things like this to seek justice for her sisters, but she doesn't want It must be in line with Sister Ling's wishes. As the saying goes, the husband and wife quarrel at the end of the bed, Mrs. Ouyang thinks carefully, Brother Hao is Sister Ling's husband, your brother-in-law, and the whole family will always meet in the future. "

Gongsun Hao on the ground rolled his eyes vigorously, as if agreeing with Qiu Qianren's words, his expression was a little excited.

Pei Xiang smiled gently: "What Qiu Shaoxia said to me was from the bottom of his heart. It stands to reason that I should detoxify my brother-in-law now. Unfortunately, I didn't lie just now. The reason why Master Gongsun became like this is not because he was poisoned. It's a relapse of an old injury. So, there's nothing I can do now."

"The old injury recurred?" Qiu Qianren was stunned.

"Yes," Pei Xiang said calmly, "My sister said that the reason why the Grand Master Gongsun didn't show up at Xianci's funeral was because there was a mistake in his practice. I can slowly recover by meditating, otherwise my life will be endangered. I thought that Valley Master Gongsun has been recuperating in Heartless Valley, but I didn’t expect to meet him outside Suzhou City, and he was chasing and killing two slaves!"

Speaking of this, Pei Xiang paused, with a faint smile on his face, and his words were lightly sarcastic:

"So desperate... It can be seen that my brother-in-law is eager for revenge. Not only does he not recuperate his internal injuries at home, nor does he go to burn incense in front of his mother-in-law's spiritual tablet, but instead runs around chasing and killing a couple of men and women. Heh, how can he be so reckless? How about recovering quickly? Look, isn’t the old injury recurring now? According to my judgment, this injury is the most difficult to heal, and it will take ten or eight years of recuperation before it can barely recover.”

Qiu Qianren couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking that she was indeed the daughter of the Pei family and the head wife of Baituo Mountain.

——This ruthless method and tricky heart have wasted a lovely and beautiful appearance in vain.Sure enough, the old saying is true, the last thing to offend in this arena is a woman, especially a beautiful woman.

Just when Qiu Qianren was secretly feeling emotional, Gongsun Hao's ho ho ho ho sound became hurried.

The veins on his neck were tense, his eyes were red, as if he was about to jump up and kill someone in the next moment, but it was only as if.Since Pei Xiang said that he would be "rehabilitated" for ten or eight years, then he would have to lie like this all the time, and he would not be able to regain his freedom before the time was up.

Pei Xiang looked down at Gongsun Hao coldly, and said in a low voice:

"Gongsun Valley Master, I won't play around with you either. The grievances and grievances between you and your sister can be resolved by the two of you as husband and wife. I have never planned to intervene too much. It's just... since you told the Pei family that you It’s because of a mistake in your practice that you can’t go to pay respects to your elders, so you should take good care of your wounds from now on. A man should be responsible for what he said, right?”

Gongsun Hao's eyes flickered with panic and begging.

Qiu Qianren tried to talk to Xi Ni: "Mrs. Ouyang, if you complain about Mrs. Pei's matter... then it is indeed that Brother Hao did something wrong, but it won't make him paralyzed. Is he Lingjie's husband? Well, Mrs. Pei has a spirit in heaven, and she probably doesn't want her eldest daughter to suffer such hardships. We living people have to look forward."

Pei Xiang shook his head slightly: "His 'relapse of an old wound' this time has nothing to do with Xianci. He wanted to harm me and was inferior to others, so he learned such a lesson. This is a very common dispute in the Jianghu, where the weak prey on the strong. No matter who the enemy is today, I will use such countermeasures."

"That……"

Pei Xiang raised his hand to interrupt Qiu Qianren's words of persuasion, and said coldly:

"I won't intentionally poison Gongsun Valley Master just because he doesn't go to his mother-in-law's funeral, but at the same time, there is no relationship between me and him. So, I don't want to waste my energy on detoxifying him."

Having said that, Pei Xiang's tone became calm again.

"Gongsun Guzhu, I hope you can understand. I won't force you to do what you don't want to do, but you can't ask me to do what I don't like. It's fair, right?"

These words were for Gongsun Hao, and also for Qiu Qianren.

Qiu Qianren glanced at Gongsun Hao helplessly and apologetically, and finally gave up persuading him. He turned to the side to make way for Pei Xiang and others.

Seeing this, the guards of Baituo Mountain immediately stepped forward to lift Gongsun Hao, and threw him on the horse's back.

"Bai Jiu, find two people and send Valley Master Gongsun to Pei's house and give it to my sister. Then tell my father what happened today in detail, so as not to cause him any misunderstanding."

Bai Jiu clasped his fists as he promised, and immediately directed his subordinates to deal with Gongsun Hao's matter.

Seeing that the people from the Iron Palm Gang did not stop him anymore, Pei Xiang blew the bone whistle again.

After five sharp whistles of different lengths, the snakes raised their heads one after another, as if they were listening to something.After a while, they gathered together following the whistle, and slid in a special formation.A group of snakes passed by mightily, and the scene was quite spectacular and neat, which also showed that Baituo Mountain's snake driving skills are well-deserved.

Therefore, although the poisonous snakes receded like a tide, the members of the Iron Palm Gang couldn't help but backed up a few steps, feeling even more fearful.

After the two sides dealt with Gongsun Hao's matter, it was the turn of the man and woman he had chased and killed before.Pei Xiang is well versed in the reason why you come and go. She was quite aggressive just now, but now she is a little more polite and humble.

"Qiu Shaoxia, how do we deal with these two wounded patients?"

Qiu Qianren twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking that I led people to chase and kill these two people just for the sake of Gongsun Hao, now that the righteous master has been captured by you, what do these two people have to do with me?Besides, you are being polite, but the old monk is still watching from the sidelines.

"According to Valley Master Gongsun, these two people stole an important item in Heartless Valley, and colluded with each other without a matchmaker, which really insulted the family tradition of the Gongsun family, so he personally chased and killed them. Now Valley Master Gongsun... ...The old injury has relapsed, and there is no extra energy to deal with these two people, it seems that Madam Ouyang has to make the decision."

Pei Xiang thought for a while and suggested:

"Master Yuanchen, Shaoxia Qiu, no matter what the truth is, saving people is still the most important thing now, but we need to hurry, and it is really inconvenient to take two wounded patients with us.

"How about this? I'll ask the guards to arrange these two people to the city's traditional Chinese medicine clinic, pay them enough money for medical treatment, and let them recover from their injuries in Suzhou City. How about it? I will write to my sister later and ask Is there something missing in her heartless valley, let her deal with it."

Qiu Qianren waved his hand uninterestedly:

"It's all up to Mrs. Ouyang's arrangement. Don't worry, the disciples of the Iron Palm Gang will not trouble these two people anymore."

Pei Xiang thanked Qiu Qianren again.

She turned her head to look at the man and woman, and thought that they were able to escape from Xiangxi to here under the pursuit of Gongsun Hao, which shows that they have some skills.Wait until Pei Qin receives her letter, and then send someone to deal with the matter. The delay in the middle is enough for the two of them to recover from their injuries.

——How they solve their troubles is their own business, and it's not my turn to worry about it.

——As for the real reason why Gongsun Hao chased and killed these two people?Is there any hidden secret besides the green hat?I'm not interested either.

——At present, the most important thing is to escort Master Yuanchen to the Western Regions safely, and other things must be put in the back row.

At this time, Master Yuanchen chanted a Buddhist name and agreed with Pei Xiang's opinion.

After dealing with all kinds of trivial matters, Pei Xiang and his party got on their horses and rushed again, trying their best to reach the next place of accommodation before dark.

However, this arena is destined to be full of turmoil.

When Pei Xiang and the others were away from Suzhou City, Qiu Qianren ordered a table of good noodles at the temporary place, and drank and ate alone, which was quite enjoyable.

While he was picking fish bones and thinking about what he had seen and heard during the day, he was in a trance when he heard a report from a disciple in the gang, saying that the people who stayed behind in the medical hall had discovered the whereabouts of the disciple of Jueqinggu, hiding his head and tail It looks suspicious.

Hearing this, Qiu Qianren raised his chopsticks for a moment, and after a while, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He has known Gongsun Hao for many years, and he knows his character well. He has long suspected that the reason why Gongsun Hao pursues his old lover so closely is definitely not just because the other party gave him a cuckold.

——There must be some big secret hidden in it.

Qiu Qianren thought that the Mrs. Ouyang she met during the day probably also had doubts, but the other party probably had no time to attend to other urgent matters, so she didn't pursue it further.But he is different, but he is extremely interested in the secrets that his old friends try to hide.Therefore, he kept people watching the movement near the medical hall.

——Sure enough, I grabbed the little tail all at once.

——Gongsun Hao was tossed so miserably that the people of Unfeeling Valley didn't think about how to rescue the owner of the valley to save face, but stayed in Suzhou City staring at a pair of wild mandarin ducks.

——Everyone is not a fool, and no one wants to make a bad deal...

Thinking of this, Qiu Qianren drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.He smacked his mouth, his eyes sparkled, and after a while, he pushed the door and walked out.

He walked in such a hurry that he didn't notice a pair of curious eyes in front of the window of the next room. Those eyes rolled around and disappeared from the window.

After a while, "Qiu Qianren" who had gone out swaggered back from outside the main entrance, and reappeared in the room where the food and wine were placed.He recruited the young disciple who had just reported the news, asked a few questions in a roundabout way, and then let the young disciple leave.

After there was no other person in the room, this "Qiu Qianren"'s temperament changed suddenly, where there was no shrewd and capable posture just now, on that face that was exactly the same as Qiu Qianren, suddenly there was a look of rascal laughter.

Qiu Qianzhang murmured: "My twin brother has always had a disposition to be unprofitable, if he can let him put down the half-eaten food and drink and leave in a hurry, there must be a big deal..."
