Chapter 6 The Fourth Uncle (Part 1)

  Geng Wan'er was being coquettish and pleading, Geng Shao Hua ultimately couldn't resist, so he agreed to take her along to Wang Jiang Lou.

  Three people rode horses out of Huitongbiao Bureau, turned over Guanyin Bridge and went south.

  Jiangzhou has many mountains and uneven terrain, shrouded in fog all year round. At this moment, although the sun is already three poles high, the sky is still not very bright, and there are more and more pedestrians on the street, with a pungent numbing flavor floating in the air.

  As soon as they left the city and entered the southern mountain, the scenery was different. The mountains were lush and green, with springs gurgling, and amidst the dense foliage, there might be one or two restaurants and wine shops hidden.

  Those officials and wealthy merchants of Jiangzhou City ride in carriages or on horseback along the mountain path, leisurely and carefree, with faint sounds of elegant music drifting from somewhere unknown.

  Geng Shaohua came with Wan'er and Xiao Si to the outside of Wangjiang Tower. Wan'er got off her horse and called out, "Young fellow, are there still private rooms available upstairs?"

  She was naturally cheerful and fond of making friends, Wangjiang Tower was a frequent haunt, and she was extremely familiar with the little ones here. On the contrary, Geng Shaohua became a rare guest, and no one recognized him.

  A young servant came forward and led the reins, saying: "Miss Geng has arrived just in time, the best room upstairs is vacant."

  "Wan'er turned around and called out: 'Dad, let's go upstairs and sit down.'"

  Geng Shaohua nodded and followed Xiang Xiaosi into the building.

  Wan'er led the way with ease, pointing to the little second who was leading the horse away and said: "Fourth Uncle, you are Little Four, he is Little Second, you have to call him Second Brother."

  She and Xiao Si were similar in age, both of whom were eloquent and good at talking, and soon became familiar with each other.

  But in her heart, she was not convinced of this uncle who had fallen from the sky. Her own father respectfully called him "Fourth Uncle", but unfortunately, this young man not only accepted it calmly, but also kept calling his own father "Younger Brother Shao Hua".

  Xiao Si heard this and smiled slyly, with a completely nonchalant expression on his face. But in his heart, he thought: "You're Xiao Er, I'm Xiao Si, could you be Xiao San?!"

  Three people went upstairs to the second floor and sat down in a private room. A young waiter promptly brought up tea, watermelon seeds, and waited for them to order.

  Wan'er ordered a dish of chicken cooked in spring water and some seasonal vegetables, then called for a jar of wine. The waiter withdrew to make the arrangements.

  Xiao Si sat by the window, gazing out. The Wangjiang Pavilion was situated at the top of a mountain, overlooking the surroundings below. The mountains stretched far and wide, shrouded in mist and clouds, with a great river winding its way through the peaks and valleys, like a blue silk ribbon flowing eastward.

  "That is the You River, where it meets the Yangtze River is the famous Two Rivers Mouth, also known as Chao Tian Men."

  Xiao Si had not spoken yet when the door of the private room was pushed open. He thought it was Xiao Er bringing dishes, so he turned his head to look over.

  Who would have thought that the ones walking in were not the shop assistants holding water basins, but rather a dozen or so burly men wielding knives, axes and clubs, exuding an aura of murder!

  The first one, in his early twenties, wore black clothes and had a stern expression. His sharp eyes scanned the three people in the room before finally settling on Geng Shaohua's face. "Are you the one who killed Yu Quan, the third master of the Daba Mountain Tiger Ge Village?"

  Geng Shaohua was taken aback. More than three months ago, he had escorted a shipment of silver to Longxi and encountered the Tiger Hook Gang's ambush near Mount Daba. After a fierce battle, Geng Shaohua used his "Eight Trigrams Copper Plate" to successfully kill Yuquan, the leader of the Tiger Hook Gang, and ultimately defeated the bandits, ensuring the safe delivery of the silver shipment.

  Unexpectedly, after several months, someone came to the door seeking revenge.

  He put down his teacup and looked at the young man in black: "That's right, Yuquan was indeed killed by Geng. What is your relationship with him?"

  "He's my dad, got it?"

  Geng Shaohua nodded and said, "I understand. I heard that Yuquan has a son named Yufeng, who is studying under the guidance of Eagle Yang Laozu on Beimang Mountain. Is it you?"

  The young man in black suddenly drew out a pair of eagle-winged magic blades and said in a cold voice, "I will not share the sky with the one who killed my father!"

  Geng Shaohua suddenly felt a fierce and murderous aura rushing towards him, which shook his spiritual platform. He didn't dare to be slow and stood up, saying in a deep voice: "Wan'er, take your fourth uncle and go ahead first."

  Wan'er drew out her sword and said stubbornly: "No, I'll stay here and help you kill the bad guys!"

  Yu Biao said with disdain: "You're his daughter? That's perfect, stay together then!"

  Geng Shaohua's face changed slightly, and he slowly drew out his sword, saying: "Let's go!"

  Wan Er gritted her teeth and said: "No way!"

  Xiao Si was cursed with bad luck and couldn't understand which god he had offended. Just when he found someone to treat him to dinner, he ran into a filial son seeking revenge for his father.

  Looking at Geng Shao Hua's serious face, dealing with Yu Feng was obviously not an easy task. Looking again, there were more than a dozen fierce and sinister helpers behind him, any one of whom could rush over and make it difficult for himself to get away unscathed.

  Just now, I heard Geng Shaohua instructing Yuanner to escort herself to escape, and my heart couldn't help but relax a little. Who would have thought that Geng Yuanner, this silly girl with a clever face and a foolish mind, would insist on staying behind? It's really incomprehensible, at such a critical moment, she still has the nerve to argue with her father and be coquettish?

  Xiao Si's face turned stern as she scolded, "You stinky girl, do you want to get Shaohua killed? We're only a burden if we stay here. Leaving is the best way to help him!"

  Wan Er snorted: "You coward, go ahead and leave. I really don't understand why Chi Da Xia would be sworn brothers with you?"

  "Men's affairs you don't understand," said Xiao Si with a sneer, "just like a mother hen will never know why an eagle wants to fly high and gaze down at the earth."

  At the moment when the two were arguing, Geng Shaohua suddenly transmitted a secret message to Yuwen Er saying: "Your grandfather personally promised Chi Da Xiaojie to take good care of Xiao Si Shu. If he gets into trouble, how can we explain it to Chi Da Xiaojie?" After that, she patted her left palm on the waist of Yuwen Er and Xiao Si almost simultaneously, pushing them forward: "Go!"

  Xiao Si suddenly felt a gentle force pushing on her lower back, and before she knew it, she was flying out of the window and falling down to the ground below. She couldn't help but cry out in alarm: "You jerk, save me!"

  If it were just a few days ago, he could still lift a large True Qi, execute a beautiful movement and land steadily. Unfortunately, now his body is filled with True Qi, but none of it is under his control, only feeling his body heavy as lead rapidly falling down.

  Luckily, he was on the second floor and Ge Shao Hua's palm had dissipated a lot of the falling momentum. He rolled around on the ground in pain, gritting his teeth, but didn't suffer any serious injuries to his muscles or bones.

  Wan Er was stunned, she had never thought that Chi Xun Xiao's sworn second brother could fall from the second floor to the ground in such a sorry state.

  Her little boots stood firmly on the ground, and upon hearing the loud noise and shouts of killing from upstairs, she knew that her father had already begun fighting fiercely with Yu Feng and others.

  She remembered Geng Shaohua's warning, suppressing the urge to rush upstairs, and took two steps forward to pull Xiao Si from the ground, saying: "I'll go get the horse, you wait here!"

  Xiao Si sighed: "What's the point of holding onto the horse, they've already caught up, let's hurry and run!"

  Wan Er's eyes scanned the scene, and she saw three big barbarian thieves from the Mountain Tiger Fort rushing down from the second floor with their blades in hand. Immediately after, there was a crisp "crack" sound, and several windows on the second floor burst open, and several more thieves jumped out.

  Wan'er lightly bit her teeth and turned around, but was surprised to find that Xiao Si had already taken off running down the mountain.

  Although he ran very fast, after all his strength was exhausted, and it was inevitable that his footsteps would be heavy for a slightly longer period of time.

  Wan Er swiftly closed in behind him with two swift movements, and with a slight tap of her left foot, she sent Xiao Si flying to the back of his head.

  Xiao Si shouted loudly: "Wan'er young lady, wait for me!"

  "Wan'er turned back and said: 'Fourth Uncle, run a bit faster, they're catching up!'"

  "Cut the crap, if I could run fast myself, would I still need you?"

  Wan'er let out a gentle hum and slightly slowed down her pace, waiting for Xiao Si to catch up to her side. She then suddenly reached out and grabbed his waistband, pulling him up with a swift motion, increasing their speed to almost that of a galloping horse. They dashed towards the dense forest ahead.

  Xiao Si stumbled and staggered for a while before realizing that he was being pulled by the waistband by Wen Er, who was half-dragging him along.

  The surrounding tourists and diners had already been startled by the fight in Wangjiang Pavilion, and they all looked over here. They saw a young beauty holding a teenager who was running wildly, and couldn't help but feel surprised and amused. Some people who liked to stir up trouble even applauded and cheered.

  Xiao Si's current mood can only be described as ashamed, annoyed, angry and sorrowful. However, when under someone else's roof, one has no choice but to lower their head. If this little girl were to recklessly throw herself to the ground, it wouldn't just be her dignity that gets hurt.

  Wan Er's skills were not weak, and her movements were extremely light and agile. However, with a hundred or so kilograms of Xiao Si in her hands, her speed was inevitably affected, and she couldn't shake off the five Tiger Gorge bandits who were closely pursuing her from behind.

  She led the little four winds into the dense forest, originally hoping to use the trees as cover to shake off the pursuing soldiers. However, the bandits of Tiger's Nest had been entrenched in the Daba Mountains for many years, and were familiar with the mountains and forests. As they entered the dense forest, they became more agile and began to gradually close in.

  She secretly fretted, "The cultivation of these few bandits may not be high, but with one against five, I will surely lose. It's a pity that this guy I'm carrying on my shoulder can't even help a bit when he's busy, and he's as heavy as a pig."

  Just as he was grumbling to himself, suddenly Xiao Si spoke up and said: "It seems that you're not much faster than me either. At this rate, the two of us will be caught by them within ten miles."

  Wan Er said angrily: "What are you going to do? Or I'll leave you here? At least this girl can run a bit faster."

  Xiao Si sneered: "I don't care, I'm just afraid that Old Man Geng and your father will ask about it, you won't be able to explain. However, if you can hold off those five guys for ten breaths, I might be able to take care of them."

  Wan'er was taken aback and coquettishly said, "Could it be that you want to deceive me into helping you stall the pursuers while you take advantage of the opportunity to escape?"

  Xiao Si smiled and said: "Are you a tapeworm in my stomach? Whatever I think, you guess it right?"

  He said that, and Wan'er suddenly became somewhat suspicious. She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly swung her arm and threw Xiao Si forward with great force, saying coldly: "If you dare to deceive me, no matter who your second brother is, I'll skin you alive!"

  Xiao Si suddenly felt a gust of wind in both ears, and the tall trees in front rushed towards him without stopping. The howling wind whizzed past his body from both sides. If he deviated slightly, his head would inevitably hit and burst into a thousand peach blossoms.

  He was so scared that he closed his eyes and let fate take its course, cursing in his mouth: "Little girl, do you think I like to tease you? Are you playing with the flying man in the sky?! Ah, mother...".
