Chapter 225
But it was said that this day was the day when the hostages were exchanged. I got up in the morning to say goodbye to Jia Cong, saying that I had something to go out. Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "You are free!" So she went out dressed as an ordinary girl.
The back mountain of Zhenwuan is just a small mound, and it is only called the back mountain. At noon on this day, someone on a large maple tree halfway up the mountain was holding a Western clairglass to watch, and saw a horse-drawn carriage approaching from a distance, slowly approaching the foot of the mountain in the north, and stopping on the trail. The coachman jumped down first, and someone pushed out three people from inside, it was Gong Sanyi, Jingyuan Shitai and Miaoyu, only Gong Sanyi was tied. Another man came down wearing a hat, pushing and shoving the three men and the coachman to the mountain. The man in the tree turned his telescope around and looked at the top of the mountain. There were dozens of people hiding in the tall trees and low forests on the top of the mountain, but they didn't know that someone had seen them with a clairvoyant mirror before they came, made way for them, and dispersed to the periphery by themselves.
It was nearly noon when footsteps were heard on the other end. A group of more than 300 men, all dressed in black and covered with black scarves, hurried up the mountain, two of them carried a spring bench with rattan drawers, and a person with five flowers tied up on the spring bench, and arrived at the top of the mountain in a short time.
As soon as the two sides looked at each other, they were like a north wind blowing on a sunny day. The two people who carried the spring stool on the ground and stood behind the man in black who was in the lead. The rest of the 300 or so people were all carrying bows. Crossbows, la-la-la The crossbow designates the ambusher.
The coachman couldn't help sweating on his forehead and said, "What does this mean?" ”
The leader on the other side said, "Treat the other in his own way." ”
The coachman said, "You have to be a little precautionary when you come to your territory." ”
The leader said, "One to the other." Nai looked up at the three hostages, clenched his fists and asked, "Is the county lord okay?" ”
Master Jingyuan said: "The poor nuns are good. ”
The leader asked again, "How is Master Miaoyu?" ”
Miaoyu lowered her head and said: "Even if there is a thousand-year-old iron threshold, there must be a soil steamed bun in the end." ”
The leader nodded and said to the coachman: "Father-in-law Liu was injured on the day we brought him back, and the time was too short to recover. We are helpless. This person is strong in martial arts, and there is no way to catch him without injuring him. ”
The coachman sneered: "It's useless to talk too much. ”
The leader said: "Our two families have had a grievance for a long time, but they have all fallen to such a point, and people are not as good as heaven." It's just that this time it was you who kidnapped your sister-in-law who had already become a monk, what a mistake! ”
The coachman said, "I just ask the driver, the saint is good." ”
The leader said, "I don't know. We have also visited and there has been no news. ”
The coachman frowned and said, "Not in your hands?" ”
The leader said: "If the three princes fall into our hands one day, they will be killed in front of the lord's spirit!" ”
The coachman hesitated for a moment and sneered: "My lord is already the true son of heaven, but the lord is just a dead soul under the spring. ”
The leader also scoffed: "The true son of heaven? The first emperor controlled the dynasty for more than ten years, and the three princes were not in power, but they were just puppets. It's easy to look forward to the death of his old man, thinking that he can be pro-government, and let the Nine Princes steal the country. Now it seems that the Nine Princes are the true sons. ”
The coachman gritted his teeth: "You don't need to be able to speak your tongue. I only ask you, if the saint is not in your hands, where did the jade seal, tiger charm, etc. come from? ”
The leader was stunned: "Jade seal? What does Jade Seal have to do with me? I made the tiger talisman. I know it so well that I can draw it with my eyes closed. ”
The coachman's brows moved, and he asked, "Aren't you the ones who robbed a bunch of adults from the edict with a false edict?" ”
The chief said, "What have I done to rob them?" and it cannot be used to me. If it is robbed, how can it be put back? Those were robbed by a bunch of bandits. ”
The coachman was stunned: "Bandits? ”
The leader said, "They said that someone hired them for a thousand taels of silver, and they gave me fifty taels as rent, and rented me this mountain to save for a day, and then took it away at night." Having received other people's money, I never asked to see what it was. Hengzhu only came to the mountain and walked around. ”
The coachman was stunned again: "Didn't you rob it?" ”
The leader was disdainful: "I will drop drugs and other stealing tricks...... I don't think my generation will despise it. ”
The coachman heard his loud voice, held his head high, and saw that he was in strong shape, and it was obvious that he was a leader of the army; Although the group of people behind him were covered with faces, their posture was obviously also elite soldiers. He said this sentence again in a fair and upright way, and he believed it unconsciously. I couldn't help but think about who else under Prince Xian Yizhong was so familiar with the tiger talisman, and he had the ability to imitate it without making a mold in kind. That "I drop" is obviously almost a gaffe, and the name is reported. couldn't think of which surname this "drop" should have been, so he secretly went through the important generals of the Royal Forest Army in his heart, and there were no suspicious candidates. The momentum of this leader, if it is in the Royal Forest Army, will not be lost to everyone.
The leader said, "Since you didn't hurt the county lord, sending you a letter is counted as a thank you." The jade seal on the fake edict made by the prison robbers is not real. ”
The driver said, "Of course I know it's not true!" ”
The leader said: "The inscription on the jade seal of the Son of Heaven is 'Emperor Shouchang of Haotian', and the inscription on the pseudo-edict is 'Ordered by the Heaven and Shou Yongchang', but I am afraid that the thieves heard it from the play." Therefore they would not be Stuart's people. ”
The coachman's eyes lit up! Then he shook his head again and whispered to himself: "If the Son of Heaven can be free, how can he sit back and watch the kings become what they are now." ”
The leader said: "Your lord has harmed my lord, and the blood and hatred will not be forgotten day and night; I helped the kings, and I demolished your lord's country for the lord, and I also avenged it. Now both of us are unsightly; My family will be rehabilitated sooner or later, but your life will be more difficult. The same losers, why bother to fight. Each has its own handle in the other's hand, so how about the well water not encroaching on the river water. ”
The coachman pondered for a moment and said, "If the saint is not in your hands, it is useless to stare at you. It's good. Let's make a substitution. ”
The leader clapped his hands twice, and the two men in black behind him lifted the spring stool and carried it to the open space between the two sides, where they stood upright like wooden stakes and waited. The coachman motioned to the man wearing a hat beside him, and the man said to Master Jingyuan: "The county lord, please." Master Jingyuan snorted, Miaoyu hugged her, and Gong San followed behind. The two men in black escorted the three of them slowly towards their side. Dai Lia bent down and picked up Liu Dengxi and the spring stool with both hands, and easily held the spring stool horizontally on his shoulders, and Liu Dengxi was on the spring stool; He strode back again. The leader on the other side couldn't help but cheer, "Good man! ”
For a while, the Jingyuan Master waited for him to return to his side, and the leader bowed to her: "The last general is late to rescue, and I hope the county lord will forgive the sins." ”
Master Jingyuan recited a Buddha and said, "The general is hard. ”
The leader hugged Miaoyu again, and Miaoyu also lowered her head and chanted a Buddha. At this time, the person under his head had already untied the rope on Gong Sanyi's body, and the leader hugged his fist at him and said, "Thanks to the help of the good man." ”
Gong San also glanced at him and said nothing.
On the other side, he also untied the rope for Liu Dengxi and took out the cloth towel stuffed in his mouth, Liu Dengxi coughed a few times, and someone handed him a kettle. The coachman hurriedly asked, "How is my father-in-law?" Where is the injury? ”
Liu Dengxi slowed down and said with a wry smile: "I have been fighting geese all my life, but I was nagged by geese." The set is well-thought-out, the steps are fine, and the miscellaneous clothes are served. And he said, "They use fire." Gun, I was all four. And if they fight very accurately, they must be practicing their families, but they are afraid that there are people in the firearms camp. He has healed me, but he has been unable to heal for a while. ”
The coachman nodded: "The last general knows." The 'drop' he just said was only afraid that the surname had not been finished. ”
Liu Dengxi said: "I have a rough number. ”
The coachman nodded again and asked, "Father-in-law, do you see what they said true?" ”
Liu Dengxi said: "I don't know if it's true or not. You have to check the jade seal first, but it is really 'ordered by the heavens to live forever'. Although the jailer insisted that it was the real jade seal, he only glanced at it in a hurry on the night of the robbery, and he remembered it by mistake. ”
The coachman should bow down and say "yes".
Liu Dengxi said: "You help me sit up." ”
The coachman helped him to sit on the spring bench. Although Liu Dengxi's voice is sharp, it can be heard far away. He said: "Mr. Fan is good at kung fu, and the miscellaneous family admires him tightly." General Ding, I'm planting it this time, and we'll have a date later! Then he waved his hand, and the man with the hat lifted him up again, and the coachman whistled, and their men came out of the tall trees and low forests, and followed them down the mountain.
Seeing that their group was not in the mountains, the leader of this head also waved his hand, and a group of people and horses hugged Jingyuan Shitai and went to Zhenwu'an.
and entered the gate of the nunnery, because the sisters-in-law were all chanting and doing homework in front of them, and there was no one in the nunnery. The leader hugged his fist at Master Jingyuan, and led the people out of the tunnel. Master Jingyuan let out a long sigh and said, "Let's rest first, and we'll talk about it later." Gong San also nodded, saluted her, and left the tunnel.
For a while, Gong San also opened the entrance of his own tunnel, pushed open the lid on the water tank, and drilled out, stunned. I saw Gong Kun, Jia Cong, Jia Huan, Jia Weis, and Shi Qiusheng sitting in a circle, staring at themselves with blank eyes, not feeling funny, and their eyes were a little hot.
Jia Cong first "snorted": "Sir, you're back!" Without waiting for Gong San to speak, an arrow rushed up and grabbed the old man's neck, "Mr. Woo, you're back~~"
Gong Sanyi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Okay, come down!" I'm still wounded. ”
"Huh?" Jia Cong jumped away suddenly, "Where's the injury?" I knew I wouldn't treat the old eunuch's injuries! ”
Gong San also said: "It's not a big deal. Nai stepped out of the tank, and the disciples and nephews rushed up and shouted "sir" and "third uncle". As soon as he saw Shi Qiusheng's dark circles and blood-red eyes, he knew that he hadn't slept well these days, and patted him on the shoulder.
Everyone went to the study together, Jarvis poured tea for Gong Sanyi, and the old man drank for a while before saying, "It's good for you to call me a 'good man' today." I also pretended to be someone who had nothing to do with the prince. ”
Jia Cong said: "Because Liu Dengxi's people still trust me, I guess Mr.'s identity has not been revealed." You are a ghost, and your time in their hands is short, and they may not be able to put up words. What do you mean, sir? I don't think you went to Shinna-an to steal something. ”
Gong San also smiled and said, "I claim to be the concubine of the county lord of Jinyang. ”
Jia Cong was stunned, and a distant and familiar allusion flashed in his mind: "That...... Is Mr. Fan that Liu Dengxi shouted to you? ”
"Hmm."
"You don't always claim to be Fan Yao, right?"
"Hmm."
The room was silent for two or three seconds, and suddenly Jia Cong, Jia Huan, and Gong Kun burst out with a burst of wild laughter in unison, and they couldn't stand at their desks; Jarvis also laughed with a loss of manners. Gong Sanyi laughed himself. Only Shi Qiusheng was at a loss and didn't know what was going on.
For a long time, Jia Cong looked at the old man pounding the table and shouted with a smile: "Fan You is wronged~~ The exterminator is too wronged, hahahaha......" He said again, "That Miaoyu master, you won't say that it is your two private daughters, hahahaha......"
Gong San also glared at him and said, "How old is she?" How long have I been in Kyoto? Where can you raise such a big private daughter? ”
The brothers laughed again.
After laughing for a long time, everyone was in a better mood, Jia Cong asked Gong Sanyi: "What's the matter with you, old man, how did you get planted?" ”
Gong San also sighed lightly and spoke slowly.
It turned out that he got the secret book left by Master Jingyuan that day, and he really didn't have a nunnery at night, and he felt a little strange when he crossed the wall of the nunnery, but there was nothing wrong with looking at it from all sides. And he went to the abbot's room.
Fortunately, he usually called Jingyuan Shitai "Shitai", and Jingyuan also called him "Mr.", and the two talked about Miaoyu for a long time in the abbot's room. Gong San also went to the Miaoyu Nunnery to check around but did not notice anything wrong, and said to Jingyuan after coming back: "Don't worry, Mrs. Shi, I will only stay outside the Miaoyu Gate tonight, and see what moths can come out." ”
Jingyuan just said "Mr. Hardship", and someone broke through the window and attacked Jingyuan. Gong San also stepped over to protect Jing Yuan, and drew his sword to protect him. Five people jumped in from outside, six of them were masters, and Gong San couldn't resist no matter how capable he was, and his thighs and shoulders were poked. Seeing that he was not an opponent, he pretended to be incapable of supporting them and let them catch them.
I saw the door of the abbot's room open wide, and an old man walked in with his hands in his hand, and bowed to Master Jingyuan first: "The county lord is not harmed." ”
Master Jingyuan recited the Buddha: "You are the eunuch surnamed Liu next to the third uncle in the early years, aren't you?" ”
The old man said: "I haven't seen the county lord for many years and still knows the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family is very fortunate." Nai looked back at Gong Sanyi, "This gentleman is so high in kung fu, and no one who fights my six masters at the same time has never been." ”
Gong Sanyi had already turned countless circles in his mind. I thought to myself, when I was an official in the court, this old man was still in the deep palace, and he had never met, and he didn't recognize himself. Look at the other day they pretended to be ghosts, thinking that they were trying to lure the snake out of the hole, so you can see that they don't know anything. It's better to try to coax him, don't expose yourself to being involved in Rongguo Mansion. This old eunuch's kung fu is high, and Huan'er is not enough to see in front of him. There have been letters from Taiwan for a long time, and those children are about to arrive in the capital, and according to the wisdom of Cong'er Kun'er and the Wudang of Weisi and others, they can try to save themselves. After thinking for a moment, I remembered Jia Cong's comment "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" in the early years, where Fan Yao, the right envoy of the Ming Sect, remembered the deer stick guest's own amorous nature, and in order to win his trust, he coaxed him to say that he had too much personal relationship with the exterminator, and the deer stick guest really believed it. And the lord of Jinyang County was lewd because of elopement. The name of the woman, Liu Dengxi will be able to remember this old thing when he sees her, so as to win his trust. He said: "The old man and the teacher are just preaching the scriptures and saying the Dharma, and there is nothing to do. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was as if there were no three hundred taels of silver, and Jingyuan Shi Taideng's face turned red, and he pointed at him and said, "You...... You...... You shut up! ”
Liu Dengxi was stunned for a moment, laughing and laughing, and sneered sadly: "It turns out that the county lord is still as lonely as he was back then!" ”
Gong San also argued: "The two of us are innocent, why does this gentleman spew people with white teeth and blood? Besides, we are neatly dressed, and even if we go to the lobby of the government, we cannot be slandered. ”
Liu Dengxi smiled: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get to the lobby of the official mansion." He asked him his name.
Gong San also said casually: "My name is Fan Yao." ”
Liu Dengxi nodded: "It's a good name." Then he walked out with his hands in hand.
The people under him tied Gong Sanyi and Jingyuan Shitai and gagged them firmly, and two of them carried them out, and saw that someone was carrying another person over, and the three of them were carrying three people and running under the moon. Later, they were stuffed into a carriage on the side of the road, and after a long bumpy walk, they were finally moved out.
Gong San also raised his eyes to see that it was a very ordinary small courtyard, and there were stone mills, dustpans and other things in the courtyard.
