“No grudges in the past or the present? A small misunderstanding? Resolved?” The Bronze-eyed Arhat was obviously very angry when he heard these words. His tone unexpectedly became fluent again. He then parted the messy hair on his forehead, revealing an extremely scary dent, and said, “This… this is the grudge that Yuchi… Yuchi Lianghong resolved… resolved. A… piece of my skull was… was… was… smashed to pieces. The doctor said that my brain was… injured. Now I can’t even speak… stuttering… stuttering… stuttering… stuttering… stuttering… stuttering… ”
He said the word "结" five times in a row but couldn't say the next word "巴". If someone who didn't know the truth heard it, they must have found it very funny.
But Qiu Yizi couldn't laugh at all. Seeing the scar on the Bronze-eyed Arhat's forehead, he laughed out loud and sank deeply. With this man's martial arts, except for Yuchi Lianghong, no one in the world could cause such serious injuries to him.
So Qiu Yizhi plucked up his courage and said loudly: "Big monk, since you couldn't beat my brother at the beginning, and now you are seriously injured, you must be even more of a match for my brother. If you want to live, you should retreat immediately. Otherwise, if you provoke my brother, he doesn't have to do it himself. He just needs to show the style of the leader of the martial arts world and give an order, and there will be no place for you in the world of martial arts!"
“Hahahaha!” The bronze-eyed Arhat suddenly laughed up to the sky and said, “Yu…Yuchi Lianghong still…dare…still call himself the leader of the Wu…Wulin? He is…now…just a…running dog of the imperial court! On…what…basis can he command…the heroes of the Wu…Wulin?”
Qiu Yizi was shocked when he heard what Bronze-eyed Arhat said, but he was relieved immediately - he was shocked because Yuchi Lianghong was the best martial artist in the world, and Bronze-eyed Arhat had personally witnessed Yuchi Lianghong's extraordinary martial arts, yet he dared to speak so freely and wildly. However, when he thought that people in the martial arts world love freedom and to indulge in the mountains and rivers, and that working for the court is something they despise, he was not surprised that Bronze-eyed Arhat commented on Yuchi Lianghong like this.
So Qiu Yizi said, "The monk's words are biased. The so-called great heroes serve the country and the people. The Yuchi family has an extremely high status in the martial arts world, and my brother's martial arts are unrivaled in the world. He gave up such a free life and joined the government. Is it just for a few taels of silver? He wants to use his unique skills to make the people live in peace and happiness. This is the real vision and courage. The monk is so obsessed with the rules of the martial arts world, but it seems petty and shallow."
Qiu Yizi's sharp tongue left many learned scholars, provincial governors, and royal relatives speechless. How could the stuttering Bronze-eyed Arhat engage in a verbal argument with him? He just stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond.
Miss Yinhua was a little smarter, and she shouted, "We can't argue with you, and there's no need to argue with you. Skills don't lie in your mouth. If you really have the ability to defeat all of us, then you can stay or go as you please. Otherwise, you have to do whatever our big brother Bronze-eyed Arhat says."
Bronze-eyed Arhat also answered smoothly: "That's... that's... that's what I said."
After hearing this, Qiu Yizhi pondered and asked, "What does the great monk want us to do to satisfy you?"
The bronze-eyed arhat had only come to the Garden Outer Building to drink, but because the seat he had reserved was taken by someone else, he came to seek misfortune. Qiu Yizi's encounter was a coincidence, and he thought that it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision to make trouble for him. If he asked what his plan was, he really couldn't answer. He scratched his head for a long time and couldn't come up with any plan.
Miss Yinhua took a half step forward and whispered in the ear of the Bronze-eyed Arhat, "Brother, these people seem unusual. This young man is the brother of the dignified Wulin leader, the older one can call the officers and soldiers to come up, and the other one is not an ordinary person either. If we take them and give them to the big man above, wouldn't we have made a great contribution? In the future, the big man will naturally look up to us."
Bronze-eyed Arhat nodded as he listened, but said, "I'm just... I'm afraid these... these... these people... are so powerful that if we catch them... they will... help us, and it will be... it will be hard to deal with them."
Miss Yinhua glanced at him and smiled, "Brother, you don't understand. We'll report the arrest to the higher-ups. As for how the big shot above will deal with him, that's his business. What does it have to do with us? Think about it, brother. It's better to hold the cards in your hand and not want to play than to have no cards at all, right?"
Although the bronze-eyed arhat looked rough, he was actually quite smart. He nodded vigorously after hearing what Miss Yinhua said made sense. He then turned to Qiu Yizi and the others and said, "You... and... and... and you... the three of you, all... all... all... all... all... come with me... for a walk!"
Qiu Yizhi was shocked when he heard this, thinking that if he fell into his hands, he would be helpless. However, relying on his martial arts alone, he could only compete with the seriously injured Jinhua girl; the remaining Liu Qing and Shi Wei also had some skills in fighting two armies, and were definitely not the opponents of the bronze-eyed arhat and the silver-flower girl.
So Qiu Yizi had no choice but to continue to delay time, and pretended to be curious and asked: "Oh? I wonder where the monk is going to take us?"
Qiu Yi said this half to delay time, and the other half to find out where the Bronze-eyed Arhat was. If he could escape unscathed, he could then follow the map and catch all three of them in one fell swoop.
But the Bronze Eyed Arhat was an old hand after all, how could he not understand such a simple truth? His facial muscles twitched, revealing an expression of obvious contempt, but he still said in a sloppy manner: "You... you... can't ask that, just... just follow... follow me... just... just... that's all!"
Qiu Yiyi bowed and said, "If that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude, Master." He raised his voice and said firmly, "I'm sorry, I can't obey your order!"
Hearing this, the Bronze-Eyed Arhat sneered, and without saying anything else, he took a step forward with his right foot and stretched out his left hand to grab Qiu Yizi. Of course, Qiu Yizi could not just sit there and wait, so he relied on the precious sword in his hand and slashed the Bronze-Eyed Arhat's outstretched left hand from bottom to top.
The Bronze-eyed Arhat was also a well-known fighter in the martial arts world. Seeing this unstoppable attack coming, he was not panicked at all. He twisted his right heel to the side and moved to the side of Qiu Yizi in a flash. He stretched out his right hand calmly, grabbed Qiu Yizi's belt, and lifted him up in the air.
It turned out that the Bronze-Eyed Arhat's move with his left hand just now was just a bluff. He wanted Qiu Yizi to panic and attack with his knife first so that he could see the flaw and then deal with it with his main force, his right hand. Finally, he succeeded in his attack and lifted the short Qiu Yizi in the air like a chicken.
Qiu Yizi's limbs were facing downwards, which put him at an extremely disadvantageous position. However, he was unwilling to surrender and be eaten alive. With the precious sword in his hand, he continued to slash at the Bronze-Eyed Arhat's waist.
The bronze-eyed arhat had seen the power of this precious sword, so he did not dare to underestimate it. He saw an opportunity and kicked Qiu Yizhi's wrist. Qiu Yizhi reacted quickly and quickly moved his arm away to avoid it. However, the bronze-eyed arhat kicked like the wind. Qiu Yizhi's wrist was not hit, but his forearm was hit hard. The pain made Qiu Yizhi lose her grip, and the precious sword in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
As a result, Qiu Yizi was finally in a desperate situation. He knew that he had neither internal nor external martial arts, and he had no sharp weapons. No matter how hard he punched and kicked, he could not break the iron bones of the Bronze-Eyed Arhat.
So he sighed, stopped struggling, and said in a very calm voice: "Okay, I'll go with you. These two are just my friends. We have no grudges against you. Just let them go!" Qiu Yizi only hoped that after he was abducted by the Bronze-Eyed Arhat, Liu Qing and Shi Wei would be able to find out the cause as soon as possible and send people to rescue him, so he said this.
Unexpectedly, before the Bronze Eyed Arhat agreed, someone said loudly: "You just want to arrest someone, if you want to arrest someone, just arrest me. I am the emperor's special envoy, and I am better than this seventh-rank county magistrate in your hands!"
Qiu Yizhi tried to turn her head away and stole a glance. It was Shi Wei who stepped forward to replace her. Her eyebrows were raised, and although her eyes were small, they were shining, revealing an unconcealable heroic spirit. Qiu Yizhi found it difficult to connect the timid "turtle man" Shi Wei with the person in front of her now.
Seeing Shi Wei's demeanor and hearing his tone, the domineering Bronze-eyed Arhat was intimidated by his aura. He almost forgot that he was holding a living person in his hand. He asked Shi Wei, "You just said... who... you are? I... I didn't... heard you clearly. Say it again... again... again for me."
Shi Wei sneered: "Humph! It doesn't matter if you can't hear clearly. Let go of the man in your hand first. I will follow you and naturally have plenty of time to talk to you properly."
Having said that, Shi Wei did not wait for the Bronze-eyed Arhat's agreement, and brushed past the vicious monk and strode out the door. As he left, he did not forget to pat the right shoulder of the Bronze-eyed Arhat who was holding Qiu Yizi.
Bronze-eyed Arhat was a well-known figure in the martial arts world, so how could he be willing to listen to the commands of this plain-looking lackey of the imperial court? Seeing Shi Wei talking to himself like this, he got angry again and said angrily: "You...you stop right there! Why...why should I...should...should I listen to you?"
Shi Wei turned his head and smiled, saying: "You are a fool. You don't know what the identity of the imperial envoy is. You won't understand even if I tell you!" After that, Shi Wei said a few words to Miss Yinhua who had been silent for a long time.
There was a big monk like an iron curtain between Qiu Yizi and Shi Wei, so she couldn't hear what Shi Wei said to Yinhua at all.
However, Miss Yinhua was actually persuaded by Shi Wei in just a few words. She walked two steps to the side of the bronze-eyed arhat and said, "Brother, have you never seen a play? The imperial envoy is the emperor's spokesperson. Even the provincial governors and vassal kings have to kneel and pay respect to him. If we catch this imperial envoy, everything will be fine. Why bother with this little magistrate?"
However, the bronze-eyed arhat was still reluctant to let Qiu Yizhi go, and said, “Wei… Yuchi Lianghong is my old… old man’s enemy, my old… old man’s martial arts are not… not… as good as his, I can’t… defeat him, killing him… and his sworn brother is also… also… also good! One… sheep is also… ...
