31这么一闹，满店的人全醒了。两个长衫客中一人贴在上房门口，大声说道：“我们奉鸡公山王大寨主之命，今晚找的是飞马镖局的徐镖头。闲杂人等，事不干己，快快回房安睡。”
All the people in the store woke up after such a fuss. One of the two long-sleeved guests stuck to the door of the upper room and shouted, “We are looking for Escort Xu of the Pegasus Escort Agency tonight at the behest of the Great Stronghold Leader of the King of Jigong Mountain. We have to go back to the room and sleep.”
32徐铮和马春花早就醒了，听他们如此叫阵，不由得又惊又怒，心想，不论多厉害的大盗，也决不能欺到客店中来，说声:“姓徐的便在这里!”右手一扬，两支钢镖急射而出。
Xu Zheng and Ma Chunhua woke up long ago. Hearing their cries, they were shocked and angry. They thought that no matter how powerful the robbers were, they could never bully them into the inn. They said, “Here is Xu!” With the right hand raised, two steel darts shot out.
33两个长衫客中，后面那人回手一抄，一手接住两支钢镖，跟着掷出，当的一声响，火星四溅，一齐钉入徐铮身旁的青石板里。接着两人哈哈一笑，扬长而去。
Among the two long-sleeved guests, the man in the back took a copy, grabbed two steel darts with one hand, and then threw them. With a sound of pawn, sparks splashed all over, and nailed them into the bluestone beside Xu Zheng. Then they laughed and went away.
34胡斐和程灵素隔着窗子，一切瞧得清清楚楚。心思这一路而来，不解之事甚多，原以为乔装改扮之后，便可探出蹊跷，谁知第一天便又遇到了这桩奇事。
Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu saw everything clearly through the window. The mind has come all the way. There are many things that I don’t understand. I thought that after dressing up, I can find something strange. But I met this strange thing on the first day.
35次日清晨，飞马镖局的镖车一启行，胡斐和程灵素便不即不离地跟随在后。徐铮见他俩紧追不含，以为便是贼党，不时怒目而视，胡、程二人却装作不见。
35 In the morning of the next day, as soon as the escort car of the Pegasus Escort Agency set off, Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu followed closely. When Xu Zheng saw that they were chasing each other closely, he thought they were thieves. He looked at them angrily from time to time, but Hu and Cheng pretended not to see each other.
36行到傍晚时分，只听得马蹄声响，两骑马从前方飞驰而来。马上乘客身穿灰布长袍，从镖车旁一掠而过，接着纵声长笑，听声音，正是昨晚的两个暴客。行不出几里，又有两乘马迎面奔来，跟着又有四乘马相继纵蹄而来。
At the end of the day, only the sound of horse hoofs was heard, and two horses galloped from the front. Immediately, the passenger wearing a grey cloth robe passed by the escort car, and then laughed and listened to the voice. It was the two thugs last night. Within a few miles, two more horses came running towards each other, followed by four more horses.
37徐铮见了这等势派，早己把心横了，道:“师妹，师父曾说，绿林中劫那一等大镖，才派六个好手探盘子，今日居然连派八位高人，后面又有两位阴魂不散地跟着，怕今日保的，不是九千两，而是九千万两!”
When Xu Zheng saw such a force, he had already been overwhelmed and said, “Younger martial sister, Shifu once said that only six good men were sent to probe the plate after robbing the first class of big darts in the green forest. Today, he even sent eight experts, and there were two more haunting people following him. I’m afraid that today’s protection is not nine thousand liang, but nine thousand liang!”
38马春花也猜不透敌人何以如此，便对徐铮道:“情势不对，咱们还是带了孩子逃命要紧。”徐铮昂然道:“师父一世英名，便这么送在咱们手中吗?”马春花凄然道：“瞧在孩子份上……”
38 Ma Chunhua also couldn’t guess why the enemy was like this, so she said to Xu Zheng, “The situation is not right. It’s important that we take our children to escape.” Xu Zheng said proudly, “Is this the way to give our master’s fame?” Ma Chunhua said sadly, “For the sake of children…”
39说到这里，忽听得身后蹄声奔腾，回头一望，尘土飞扬，那八乘马一起自后追了上来。跟着一支响箭从头上飞过，迎面又有八乘马奔来。
39 Speaking of this, I suddenly heard the sound of hooves running behind me. Looking back, the dust was flying, and the eight horses came up together. Following a loud arrow, it flew over the head, and there were eight horses running in front of it.
40奔到车跟前，前后各八乘马一齐持缰不动，将镖车和胡、程二人夹在中间。
Run to the car, hold the reins with eight horses at the front and back, and clip the escort car with Hu and Cheng in the middle.
