Chapter 70 Fog and rain in the north of the river

Several Jinyi Guard captains were about to arrest the three of them, when suddenly a burst of blue light flashed by, only to hear a few captains scream in pain, and all the long knives in their hands fell to the ground. Everyone looked at each other, Li Fang held a long sword in his hand, standing proudly in front of everyone, seeing that there was a faint look of exhaustion on his face, and he finally came in a hurry.

When Jiang Huan saw him coming, he was shocked, and couldn't help but secretly sigh that there were too many troubles today, and those who came were all people who shouldn't come: "Li Duwei, you are the grandson of the current emperor, and you have an important official position, and your power and position are all in your hands, and the glory and wealth can be said to be inexhaustible, why do you have to wade into this troubled water?"

"Commander Jiang, although Li Fang is still young, he has always been true to his word, since he has promised the Duke of Liangguo, he will definitely be loyal to the people and always protect the safety of his family!" Li Fang said calmly with a sword in front of his chest. Jiang Huan sneered and said, "Yes, then why did you abandon Madam Mu and flee here? Isn't this treachery?" Lan Chun suddenly heard that his mother had been abandoned, and he couldn't help but feel sad, and he cried out loud for a while, and asked, "Brother Fang, why did you do this?"

Li Fang sighed: "In life, there must be sacrifice to gain." Forced by the situation, Li was unable to rescue, and Mrs. Mu died of serious injuries. The so-called gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, if you want to kill me to take revenge, there is nothing to blame. But only by saving his life today can he have a chance to take revenge in the future. After he said this, he glanced at everyone in the Lan family indifferently. The three members of the Lan family originally heard that Li Fang had left Mrs. Mu, and they all resented him, but when they heard him say this at this moment, they suddenly felt much more cheerful in their hearts, and remembered that the one in front of them today was the enemy, and they couldn't help but look at Li Fang.

"Captain Li...... Now that you have made up your mind, it is inconvenient for Chen to say more, let's go!" Chen Chen thought for a while and said slowly. Li Fang knew that Jiang Huan was scheming, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to be good, this was a place of right and wrong, and he had to leave as soon as possible. As soon as he turned around and left quickly with the three of them! Jiang Huan saw that he was leaving, and with a snort, the embroidered spring knife in his hand was suddenly pulled out in half, and a cold light shot out, shaking everyone's eyes black. At this moment, a hand reached over and pressed it on Jiang Huan's hand, and the embroidered spring knife was immediately pressed back into the sheath by him, which was as fast as lightning, and he didn't let the other party pull out the knife.

Jiang Huan's face showed murderous anger, and he said angrily: "Chen Langzhong!" Everyone was feeling strange, and suddenly a strong internal force burst out, and suddenly the strong wind overflowed, and the figure shook. Chen Chen suddenly smiled, and a bang came from his palm, and an extremely fierce force suddenly crashed into Jiang Huan's body like a sword, and then shot out through the scabbard, actually cutting a sword mark on the bluestone slab on the ground.

Under the collision of huge forces, Chen Chen's body only shook for a while, and then he stood still with a stake, but Jiang Huan was shocked by the strength and took a few steps back, seeing that his breath was disordered and his chest was undulating, thinking that he had already suffered a secret loss with the move just now. But said that Li Fang didn't care about the two of them, he didn't look back, and left quickly with the three of them, Lan Bin heard the voice, and hurriedly looked back, only to see stone chips flying on the ground, and a ravine about one zhang long and about an inch wide came into view. Thinking that Chen Chen's skill was extremely profound, he could emit such a fierce sword aura in the air.

Seeing this situation, no matter how stupid they are, they can understand the situation, Chen Chen's martial arts are profound, and he is ruthless, if he doesn't let him, I'm afraid that no one will be able to get by! Jiang Huan was angry in his heart, and immediately asked: "Chen Langzhong, what are you going to do?" Chen Chen glanced at him lightly, and said with a smile: "Can Commander Jiang look at Chen's face and not pursue them within three hours?" As soon as Chen Chen said this, everyone was a veteran of officialdom, but they were also full of doubts.

"Chen knows that this request is a bit abrupt, but I still hope that you can give Chen this face!" After Chen Chen finished speaking, he turned around and bowed slightly to the Jinyi Guards, and left.

But as soon as Chen Chen left, a brocade guard stepped forward and whispered in Jiang Huan's ear: "Lord Commander, what should we do? Do you want to continue chasing?" Jiang Huan thought for a while before he replied slowly: "Since Chen Chen is ordered to stop us, His Royal Highness Taisun must want to let them go secretly, but he is afraid that if the emperor wakes up and scolds him, he will let Chen Chen deal with it." I'm afraid that there are some other cats in it, so we have to guard against it. You first select some shrewd and capable subordinates, secretly follow the three members of the Lan family, and do them if there is a suitable opportunity. The man agreed, waved his hand, and departed with a group of men.

At this time, Ji Gang took two steps forward and asked Jiang Huan: "Master Jiang, since this Chen Langzhong wants to stop us, why don't you just let us not pursue, but only limit us to three hours?" Jiang Huan sneered: "That's what I said just now, I'm afraid he ......" Ji Gang stopped halfway through listening to him, his heart was very puzzled, and when he looked up, he found that Jiang Huan's face was pale, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and the murderous intent in his eyes was surging, so he didn't dare to say anything else.

The breeze is soft, the willows are lightly blowing, the grass and green willows on the riverside are verdant, dozens of sparrows are chattering and jumping briskly on the branches, and the Yangtze River is wide and wide, flowing smoothly to the southeast.

"The tide of the spring river is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is born together. Thousands of miles with the waves, where there is no moon in the spring river. The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlit flowers and forests are like hail. The frost in the air does not fly, and the white sand on the Ting cannot be seen. Jiangtian is colorless and dustless, and the lonely moon wheel in the bright sky. Who first saw the moon on the riverside??...... "This poem "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" is written by the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu, the first section of the scenery is exhausted, and the latter section is full of thoughts in the hearts of women. The chanter was a woman by the river, looking at her sad and tired face, looking at a river of spring water in a silent daze.

A man in black with a hood had been standing behind her for a long time, and when she listened to this poem again, her heart was very bored, and she suddenly felt anxious: "This group of sparrows is chirping, and they are so annoying!"

When the woman heard the movement, she looked back, and when she saw the man in black, she was shocked, and the man in black was full of strangeness, like a ghost, and she was so frightened that she turned her head back again. After a while, she glanced at it secretly, but when she rubbed her eyes and looked again, she didn't see the slightest figure. She was stunned for a moment, and hurried to the shore ferry.

Less than 200 steps west of the north bank of the river is the official road, and next to the official road is a small shop, although it is quite simple, but it is very spacious.

The rain in the south of the Yangtze River always comes so casually, and after it comes, it is continuous and lingering. At noon, a light rain began to fall. The rain felt moist and moist, like autumn rain, a little cold, and annoying.

In front of the store, Xiao Er was leaning on the door frame, looking at him yawning in his mouth, looking through the curtain on the door, looking out of the door with bored eyes, as if he was very bored.

A short time later, a group of people came from outside the door, but it was a woman with two children. The little two are in the important place of the ferry all the year round, and his mind is lively, and when he saw the three of them, he hurriedly passed the door, with a smile on his face: "The three guest officers are inside, it's raining outside the door, don't get drenched!" The three of them just entered the door, the store was simply furnished, there were only seven or eight tables and chairs, and only one table was drinking a little wine.

Xiao Er looked at them and said with a smile: "Are the three of you sharpening or staying in the store?" The "knife fish" in this store is a must, and there is only one within a radius of 100 miles!" Xiao Er was about to say more, only to see a person lift the curtain and enter, and also said: "The so-called "spring tide mist out of the knife fish", I heard that this fish is delicious, the entrance is smooth, and it is known as a rare delicacy in the river. ”

A few people looked back, a scholar about thirty years old stood in front of him, he saw everyone looking, so he also looked back, surprised: "What's wrong? But what's wrong?" Xiao Er coughed, and then said: "No, it's just that the guest officer came by coincidence, and the boss happened to catch a few fish today, and I'll make them for you in a while!" But the two children looked at the woman, swallowed their saliva, and looked at her with anticipation, thinking that they were also very hungry. The woman looked at the two children and said to the little two: "Okay, please do it, by the way, make a few side dishes, and then help us clean up a room!" Xiao Er agreed repeatedly, and went to work on his own.

The woman took the child and found a table next to it and sat down, and when she turned her eyes, she saw that the scholar had already asked for a pot of wine, and sat alone in the corner and drank it.

It was nearly noon, the rain outside the store was getting more, it was inconvenient to go out, there was no way for the ferry passers-by, three or three by two, while cursing the weather while entering the small shop, or drying clothes and eating, or taking a nap, just to wait for the rain to stop.

Standing at the window and looking at it, the mist on the river is ethereal, and the willows are hanging down, which makes people feel a little groggy and depressed.

There are a lot of people in the store, but there is only one guy in the hall, and the store can't do it, so he has to come out to greet everyone in person. I saw him make a square gesture, and said apologetically: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry today, the store is full, if you eat well, if you live in the hotel, I'm sorry!" Although there are many people in the store, there are many ordinary people, who can understand more.

The shopkeeper nodded in thanks, and asked the guy to find a table to make up the chairs and arrange for everyone to sit down. At first, it was spacious, but later, it was only possible to squeeze a few people into a table. Those who are not particular about eating and drinking also sit on stools, or squat in the corner, or lean against the pillar, and eat whatever they want.

At this time, the rain outside the door became more and more unhurried and did not stop slowly, and after a while, there was a sudden sound of horse bells, and the horse bells were noisy and chaotic, and the sound of hooves was very tight. When the shopkeeper heard the sound, he hurriedly went to the door, only to see a person who opened the curtain and entered, and when people came in, they found that it was actually a dozen soapy clothes to catch fast.

The shopkeeper was familiar with the catcher, and hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the towel, and said with a smile: "Liu Zhutou, it's not the end of the month, why are you here......" The catcher glanced around, and saw that there was no official master, and there was a look of disdain in his eyes. He took off the cloak on his head, threw it to the catcher behind him, and took the towel.

He threw the water droplets scattered suddenly, and some nearby guests sat on the bench relatively low and close, so he sprinkled his face with water, and the people who were sprinkled with water saw that he was wearing official uniforms, and there were many people and horses, and the momentum was strong, so they didn't dare to squeak, so they could only swallow their anger.

Liu Zhutou wiped his hands and threw the towel to the person behind him, and said casually: "Why do you want me to collect the money in person? ”

The shopkeeper agreed again and again, turned around and said all the good things to everyone, and finally freed up two tables for those catchers. At this stall, Liu Zhutou looked around and said hatefully: "I said that I couldn't find you after looking for so long, so I actually hid here." ”

Everyone looked for him, but it was the woman who had arrived first, but everyone didn't know her, and they didn't know what she had done, so they asked the government to come out and arrest her. Liu Zhutou took out a piece of paper from his arms, spread it out to everyone, and said loudly: "Three days ago, Liangguo Gong Lanyu failed to rebel, and yesterday at noon, His Majesty had an order: All men within the nine clans of Lanyu will be killed, women will be official prostitutes, and children will be filled into Ningguta, these three people are Lan Yu's wives and children!"

"Impossible, the emperor is unconscious, how did he get the wanted warrant?" the woman argued. Liu Zhutou snorted coldly: "Yesterday, the emperor was already sober, and when he learned that the imperial grandson had released you, he was furious and put the grandson under house arrest, and ordered that if you are caught, you don't have to give an order, and you will be killed directly!"

I don't have a chance to see the emperor on weekdays, but when I heard the holy decree for the first time today, I actually wanted to kill the wife and children of the hero. Liu Zhutou waved his hand and said, "It's none of your business here, all retreat!" The shopkeeper was a kind person, and at this time he slowly stepped forward and begged in a low voice: "Liu Zhutou, these three people are just women, children and children, and they have no power to restrain chickens, so why do you have to arrest them?"

Liu Zhutou slapped the shopkeeper in the face with his backhand, and said angrily: "Fart, the emperor personally issued a holy decree, if we let them go, we will all die, don't you know that in just one day, the emperor has robbed the family and exterminated several ministers, implicating nearly a thousand people?"

"Hahahaha! I never thought that this Zhu Yuanzhang would have such a reputation!" As soon as this voice came out, everyone looked back, but it was a middle-aged man, and they saw him sitting on a table in the center, drinking a bowl of wine in his hand.

"Who are you?" Liu Zhutou heard his disrespectful words, and said angrily, "You dare to insult the emperor!" The man smiled: "We are just a rude man, and you can't remember what you said." He glanced at you and said, "But I remember you, after oppressing the people and humiliating the heroes." When you have time in the future, you must come to visit!"

He said these two words loudly, and everyone in the store nodded secretly as long as they had a little justice in their hearts. When Liu Zhutou heard that he was threatening, he hated him in his heart, and said loudly: "This person obstructs official business, shields important criminals, come here, take it down for me!"

The man was not afraid at all, and laughed: "Good coming!" As he spoke, he slapped the table, and the man jumped up, and a cooked copper rod slammed down. The first catcher quickly raised his knife to block, but was smashed in the chest with a knife, and fell to the ground with serious injuries on the spot. Saying that, a few people fought together, only suffering the tables, chairs and benches in the store, and were pushed left and right, and they were smashed by a crackle in a short time.

The man's weapon was heavy, and he originally had an advantage, but the store was small and the place was not big, so he couldn't use his long weapon. The crowd only pestered him, making him unable to move. Liu Zhutou looked at it for a while, and said in a sullen voice: "You are a soldier, could it be the old department of Lanyu?" The man replied: "What is it? Lao Tzu is much better than you miscellaneous people who only know how to fight for merit and harm people!"

Liu Zhutou snorted coldly and said: "In the final analysis, we are all serving the country, what qualifications do you have to scold us?" The man snorted and said angrily: "My old man He killed the Tartar son voluntarily, but who would have thought that he Zhu Yuanzhang would cross the river and demolish the bridge, slaughter the heroes of the past, and not even let go of women, children and children, how could Lao Tzu be with such beasts!"

"What's the surname, you speak rebelliously, it's no different from rebellion, but it's also a capital crime?"

"What's the matter with a capital crime! Lao Tzu didn't die in the hands of the Tartars in his early years, and he is not afraid of you minions today. The man surnamed He said again: "You can also come and play!" Saying that, regardless of the danger, he smashed Liu Zhu's head with a stick.

That Liu Zhutou had been watching coldly, and when he saw him revealing his flaws, he suddenly attacked with a knife, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter. The man's waist immediately brought a blood flower, only to hear him say angrily: "Okay, you eagle claw, you dare to sneak attack!" Liu Zhutou said coldly: "If I am an eagle claw, then what are you?" The man said angrily: "Lao Tzu has already rebelled out of the barracks, today is the road is uneven and draws a sword to help, how can you compare?"

Liu Zhutou suddenly caught a glimpse of the gap, and attacked it with another knife, as long as he succeeded, this man surnamed He was afraid that he would be seriously injured if he didn't die. But this man is worthy of being born in the army, seeing that he didn't care about catching a knife in his back, he struck out with a fierce stick, and hit Liu Zhu's head knife, which shocked his limbs numb, and he almost couldn't hold the long knife in his hand.

The man couldn't turn around, and the knife behind his back must not be able to dodge. Suddenly, as if he had been hit hard, he suddenly fell out and flew straight forward until he broke through the window and fell out of the store and could not get up again!

This sudden change suddenly happened, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned. It took a long time to turn around, and I saw a young man standing in the position of catching the fast man, holding a steamed bun in his hand, and eating sweetly. When he saw everyone looking at him, he suddenly came to his senses and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm a little late, I'm starving." I just took a steamed bun, you won't blame me, will you?"

"Oh, Brother Yuxuan, why are you?" Everyone looked back, but it was the child who had just shrunk in the woman's arms, no wonder the voice was very immature. Yu Xuan smiled apologetically: "Hey, Xiao Lanbin, are you there?" I'm sorry, there are a lot of people, so I didn't see you. He seemed to be a little awake, so he said again: "Senior Sister and I are here to find someone, I never thought that I would meet you." Why don't you invite me to dinner, I'm really hungry......"

A twenty-eight-year-old girl was eating wine and food at the table of Lan Bin and others, looking at her beautiful appearance, polite and polite, but without scruples, it was really a little difficult to guess. After a while, she seemed to remember something, turned to Yu Xuan and said, "Are you hungry too?"

Yu Xuan rushed closer, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Master, you have eaten it all before you think of me, is it a bit excessive?" Yu Xuan glared at her and said hatefully: "That's why I don't want to come out with you, usually only I bully people, where is it the turn of others to bully me!"

"Stinky boy, who are you?" Liu Zhutou saw that his style of acting was very peculiar, and couldn't help but ask: "......What do you want to do?" Before he finished speaking, Yu Xuan was already close, grabbed him, and overturned him violently, kicking and scolding: "Call you to talk more, call you to talk more, see if you dare to talk more!" After a long time, Yu Xuan got up and slowly moved his arms, but his mouth was muttering: "This guy is really resistant to beating!

Everyone looked at Liu Zhutou again, but saw that his face was full of bruises, and he was no longer human, and said vaguely: "Stinky boy, you wait, I won't let you go!" Yu Xuan heard him say this, but ignored it, just returned to the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and said slowly: "If you want revenge, I will accompany you at any time, but I will take away the people!"

"Little brother is a good method! He is young, but he is courageous, he is really extraordinary!"

Everyone looked back, and the person who spoke was sitting in the corner near the door, there were five people at the table, and the person at the same table took off his coat as soon as he said something, revealing the flying fish suit inside, but it turned out to be the brocade guard.

When Mrs. Hu and her entourage saw it, they couldn't help but be surprised: "Didn't they let us leave just two days ago?

The leader said: "Jinyi Wei was ordered by the emperor to arrest the remnants of Lanyu, and everyone avoided it. ”

Yu Xuan ignored him, just took Lan Bin's little hand, and said with a light smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" When Lan Bin heard this, his nose suddenly became sour, and he said with tears in his eyes: "It's not good, it's not good at all, these bad people chase us every day, we're so tired, we can't run anymore......" Yu Xuan was sad when he heard him, touched the top of his head, and said softly: "If you want, come with me!" I will take you to find a safe place to keep you away from the world. ”

"Is there such a place?" Lan Bin smiled miserably: "No matter where we go, we will be found!"

Master Li walked over slowly, hugged him in his arms, and said softly: "Naturally, if you want, I can teach you a skill to make you safe!"

"Today's situation, I'm afraid none of you can leave!" suddenly came a gong-like voice from the corner. Yu Xuan looked back, and saw that the person who spoke was in the dark in the corner, and his face happened to be covered by the shadow, so he only heard his voice and did not see him.

"You can't be the master of this matter!" Master Li interjected and said, "People, I have to take them away!" The man heard this, paused and said, "The girl is proud of her martial arts, do you want to forcibly take them away?" Master Li sneered: "What if it?"

There was a sudden silence for a while, and everyone stopped talking. The man spread out his hands, slowly helped his hands on both sides of the table, saw him sitting there with a big golden knife, and said with a smile: "Girl, you can give it a try!"
