Qin Zhihong hugged Lian'er, and while comforting her, he asked Lian'er: "Lian'er, don't worry, what's the matter with you suing me?" ”

Lian'er's crying gradually stopped, and said: "I thought I would never see you again, but I didn't expect you to come back to save me, but it's a pity that Senior Brother Zhu, Master Ben Ming, and Senior Brother Yu have been captured by the official army......"

Lian'er cried in Qin Zhihong's arms for a while before getting up, picked up the knife in the hand of the official soldier, and angrily poked the two officers and soldiers a few times, until the two of them really didn't move.

Qin Zhihong asked Lian'er what she was going to do next, and Lian'er said in a low voice: "I don't know, I only follow you and won't go anywhere." ”

Qin Zhihong said: "I originally wanted to go to JN Mansion to inquire about my cousin's whereabouts, but now that you have been recognized by them, that person ran away just now, we must not go to JN Mansion to throw ourselves into the net, and tomorrow the government will look for you everywhere with your portrait and sea fishing documents, we should hurry up and escape from this dangerous place, and then find my master and ask him to come and save my cousin." ”

Lian'er nodded, so Qin Zhihong and Lian'er continued to hurry, heading north. Due to the fear of being tracked down by the government, the two of them took a small road for a few days, and returned to the territory of GT County in a few days, Qin Zhihong said to Lian'er:

"Now you are definitely wanted by the government, and they know what you look like, so I will go to the county seat first to see if Brother Wang is here, and inquire about the news, you wait for me here, don't run around."

Lian'er agreed, so Qin Zhihong got up and went to GT County as a bell doctor.

Along the way, he was familiar with the road, and soon arrived near Wang Liyan's house, Qin Zhihong did not dare to enter rashly, but pretended to go around the rivers and lakes to practice medicine, turned around a few times, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he knocked on the door of Wang Liyan's house.

Sure enough, after a while, a servant came out to open the door, saw that it was Qin Zhihong, and hurriedly let him in. As soon as Qin Zhihong asked, he found out that Brother Wang had not come back, and he was very disappointed, so he didn't dare to delay, and immediately resigned from the county seat.

After seeing Lian'er outside the county, Qin Zhihong said what happened to the trip, Lian'er also had no master, and didn't know what to do, Qin Zhihong said: "Now we can only go to CZ to find Uncle Zhao Sanduo to help, it is possible to rescue Uncle Cousin and them, it is better for us to leave for CZ now." ”

Lian'er nodded in agreement, so the two of them avoided the avenue as much as possible along the way and headed towards CZ.

But just when they arrived to the north of the GT, Qin Zhihong and Lian'er found that at various intersections, there were roadblocks set up by officials and soldiers everywhere, and some were holding portraits to compare them one by one, checking the passers-by one by one. Qin Zhihong immediately felt bad, and thought, how can he pass the GT level this time, and he was at a loss for a while.

Lian'er blushed and said, "It's really not good, let's go to Master Yang to avoid the limelight, I think he will definitely save us from what happened before." ”

In fact, Qin Zhihong had this idea for a long time, but he was afraid that Lian'er was unhappy, so he didn't say it, but seeing Lian'er blushing and saying this, he knew that she also knew that the situation was critical and she couldn't be a girl anymore, so she agreed, and took Lian'er to Shilitun.

Master Yang had long heard about what had happened these days, and he was also worried about Qin Zhihong in his heart, but when he saw him and Lian'er coming together, he was very relieved, and hurriedly instructed the family to arrange for them to arrange in a relatively hidden house, and arrange for people to deliver food every day, so as not to let them move around, so as not to be discovered by the officials and soldiers.

But although the government didn't know, when Qin Zhihong and Lian'er came to find Master Yang, they were looked at by one of the young masters of the Cheng family, and this person also went to the Yang family with Cheng Gongzi to pick quarrels and provoke troubles that day.

The young master of the family has healed his legs and feet at this time, but because he didn't stay honest when he was recuperating from the injury, when the injury was healed, the whole healing was a little misaligned, so his left foot was a little turned inward, and he was naturally a little lame when he walked. Therefore, the young master of the Cheng family also hated the Yang family, Qin Zhihong and Lian'er, at this time he was sleeping in the house, and when he saw his subordinates, he rushed into his house without reporting, and couldn't help but be furious, and scolded: "Didn't you see that the young master was sleeping?" You don't knock in and want to die! ”

The man said with a smile on his face: "Young master, great joy! ”

Young Master Cheng suddenly stopped his anger and asked, "What kind of happy event, you can tell me, if you say something famous, I will spare you this time." ”

So the man whispered in Young Master Cheng's ear what he had just seen to Young Master Cheng, so he said: "At this time, the entire GT County is arresting the boxers who are making trouble, and the last time the pair of men and women came to our Shilitun, this is not a God-given opportunity for revenge, as long as we tell the officers and soldiers patrolling at the nearby intersection, we can't help but take revenge, and even get the praise of the government, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" ”

When Young Master Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but frown, and said: "You kid has finally done a good thing, I will tell the officials and soldiers about this matter, and after the matter is completed, I will be rewarded." ”

After speaking, Young Master Cheng immediately added: "Don't let the master know first at this time!" ”

The servant immediately smiled and replied, "This little one understands! ”

On this day, Master Yang came to Qin Zhihong's courtyard to ask him what he needed, so that the servants could prepare, Qin Zhihong was also grateful to Master Yang, and quickly said that there was no other thing to ask for, just to avoid for a while.

At this time, the servant came to report that there were many officials and soldiers outside, saying that they were going to search for the troublemakers in the house and let the master go out to meet him.

Master Yang suddenly felt bad, so he hurriedly instructed Qin Zhihong and Lian'er to find a safe place to hide, he would deal with it, so he didn't dare to delay for too long, so the officers and soldiers were suspicious, and hurriedly went to the main hall to greet them.

I saw a group of officers and soldiers about forty or fifty people, surrounding the Yang house, and the officers led by the officers came to the courtyard of the Yang family with more than a dozen people, and Master Yang did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly invited the officers and soldiers led by him to the hall for tea, and the officers and soldiers did not look at Master Yang, but waved their hands and said:

"I heard a report that you have a troublemaker wanted by the government, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

Master Yang immediately replied respectfully: "Official, you are joking, I am just an ordinary civilian, and I have no relatives and no reason with the boxers, how can I hide the important criminals of the government." ”

"Nonsense, our people have all seen that among the boxers who came to your house last time, a woman came to your house, and she dared to deny it in front of the official master?"

When Master Yang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a cool breeze in the back of his head, thinking to himself, this young man just didn't do things well, he came to him, why didn't he get rid of these tails, and now even if he wanted to protect them, he couldn't help these officials and soldiers to forcibly search them. But after all, Master Yang has seen the wind and waves, and he still replied with an unchanged face: "Master, after the villain returned to his hometown from the capital to the imperial court, he lived in a simple place, and he really never met the people on the rivers and lakes, and this young master of the family claimed to be a boxer before, came to my house, and insisted that I was colluding with foreigners to burn the whole family to death, which really alarmed the boxers in GT County, so these boxers came to see what was going on. Those boxers from GT County actually beat up Young Master Cheng's group of boxers, and also injured Young Master Cheng's left leg......"

The officer had already noticed that the kid surnamed Cheng was a little uncomfortable in his left leg, and looked at him again, thinking that this was the case.

At this time, Master Yang continued: "But this time, the young master of the family came to me again to harbor boxers, military master, tell me, am I colluding with foreigners or harboring boxers?" Can't all bad things be old and rotten, right? ”

Master Yang's words can really be said to be a reversal, and it is really after the experience of officialdom and battlefield that he can have such clever words. He first said that he used to be an official of the imperial court, and when these officers and soldiers heard this, they did not dare to act rashly, because they felt that even if they had resigned, there would be many colleagues, so it was better not to offend them first; Then Master Yang talked about being slandered by Young Master Cheng as colluding with foreigners before, and he never mentioned it because he couldn't make a marriage; Moreover, he also insisted that he didn't know the boxers, and said that the young master claimed to be a boxer, the thief shouted to catch the thief, and his leg was injured, which completely offended the other boxers.

When the official army heard this, seeing that the young master of the Cheng family did not object, he couldn't help but be suspicious, thinking that this kid's leg was injured, and it is estimated that he is also a boxer on the rivers and lakes, so this time he repeated the old trick and took revenge on the Yang family by harboring the boxers, which is also reasonable. The officer couldn't help but look up at Master Yang, but he felt familiar, and suddenly realized, and hurriedly knelt down and said:

"Lord Yang, I don't know if you are here, please forgive me!"

When Master Yang saw this sudden change, he couldn't help but wonder, although he had been an official, but these decades have passed, even if it is an old man, it must have changed greatly, it is difficult to recognize, and he also looks at this officer familiarly, but he just can't remember who it is, so he just stayed there.

The officer immediately said excitedly: "I'm Xiao Liuzi!" Have you forgotten me? When I defended the capital, you saved me! ”

When Master Yang heard about Xiao Liuzi, he immediately remembered that this Xiao Liuzi was his own soldier when he was making pipe belts. In the tenth year of Xianfeng, he was ordered to resist the foreigners killed by Dagukou, but the Qing army was really difficult to resist foreign guns and artillery, and his own troops also suffered heavy losses, and finally had to retreat. But just outside the city gate when he was about to withdraw to the city, this little sixth son was stunned by a cannonball, and his subordinates advised Master Yang to leave it alone and close the city gate quickly, but he ordered his subordinates to open the city gate, braved the artillery fire, and carried the little sixth son back.

Later, Xiao Liuzi was cured and unharmed, and at that time he was only stunned by the shock wave of the cannonball, and was not hit by shrapnel.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the two officers and soldiers met here, and at this time, Xiao Liuzi was already a Qing army sentry officer, with more than 100 soldiers under his command, and the two no longer talked about the boxers, but went to the hall and talked about many things after the separation. Xiao Liuzi's original name was Yu Xiaoliu, and because he hit the sixth place, he was originally from GT County, and he was a fellow villager with Master Yang, and Master Yang was also a recent resign and returned to his hometown, so the two never knew each other's whereabouts.

When the young master of the Cheng family saw this, he already knew that his situation was not good, so he wanted to quietly get out, but he was detained by Yu Xiaoliu's soldiers. At this time, Yu Xiaoliu also recovered from the joy of reuniting with his old boss and life-saving benefactor after a long absence, and immediately shouted: "Arrest these scoundrels for me, go back and interrogate them well, and beat them with fifty military sticks each, see if they will be so dishonest in the future!" ”

The sergeant next to him sang, and dragged the young master of the family and the servant of the entourage out together, and Master Yang hurriedly said: "Little Liuzi, don't be like this this time, although this kid has a bad heart, but his health is really poor, not to mention the fifty army rolls, and he can't ......stand the ten army sticks."

"Hey, my lord......" Yu Xiaoliu waved his hand and said: "I naturally know this, look at his loose posture and see it, my subordinates know how to fight, beat him with ten military sticks, and then write down forty, as long as he thinks of this in the future, he will be honest, this is still what you taught us, master!" They both burst out laughing.

During the chat, Yu Xiaoliu also asked about Young Master Cheng's subordinates seeing someone coming to find Master Yang, and Master Yang thought that Young Master Cheng had been taken away by the officers and soldiers and would not recognize Lian'er, so he smiled and said to the servant: "Go and call Gongzi Qin and Miss Lian'er over, and say it's okay." ”

After a while, Qin Zhihong came over with Lian'er, and Master Yang immediately said:

"This girl's name is Lian'er, and she is the righteous daughter I just received, oh, I also have a daughter, whose name is Ziyi."

At this time, Yu Xiaoliu suddenly glanced at Qin Zhihong and said, "Then this son-in-law must be your son-in-law?" ”

Master Yang was stunned for a moment, but immediately laughed and said: "Yes, Xiao Liuzi, that's right, it's my son-in-law, but this family affair hasn't been done yet, so it's a bit early to call it so." ”

Xiao Liuzi said: "What's early? We are all people who practice martial arts, sir, you are also the role model of the martial arts examination back then, that can be described as both civil and military, how can you stick to these secular etiquette, the son-in-law is half a child, and then I will come to drink the happy wine of Qin Gongzi and Ziyi girl! ”

As soon as Master Yang heard this, he thought to himself, how could he not see that Qin Zhihong and Lian'er were a couple? If Miss Lian'er is jealous this time, won't all of them be exposed? This little sixth son is too, one is my righteous daughter, and the other is my biological daughter, how can you be so sure that this Qin Gongzi is married to my own daughter Ziyi? But after thinking about it, I understood, because this Lian'er was less than twenty years old, and she was already almost sixty years old, so the kid must have thought that Ziyi was also a big girl in her twenties, so she must marry first. But how did Xiao Liuzi know that the old man married a wife and had children late, but Ziyi was not as old as Lian'er!

This thought was clear in Master Yang's mind in just a moment, so he hurriedly said: "Little Liuzi, you are wrong, it's not that one daughter is married, it's that both of my daughters are married and married to this Qin Gongzi!" ”

Xiao Liuzi's eyes widened suddenly, and then said: "My lord, it's really a double happiness, congratulations, Xiao Liuzi will definitely send a big congratulatory gift at that time!" ”

Master Yang said this just to say Shanglian'er, so as to hold down her heart, now he has to laugh and be noncommittal. Then Qin Lian and the others also retreated, and Master Yang chatted with Xiao Liuzi for a while, saying that he would prepare wine and food to get drunk and rest, but Xiao Liuzi insisted on refusing, saying that he was on official business, and asked Master Yang to talk about it another day, and then took people away.
