Seeing Ruan Ning looking at him, Zhang Yufu pursed his lips, adjusted his mood, and said in a deep voice, "Follow me." ”

Then, he took Ruan Ning and Longbow to the edge of the canyon not far outside Qingfeng Village.

Xu is confident that it is impossible for Ruan Ning and the three of them to return to Qingfeng Village alive in the midst of a heavy interception, and there is no ambush set up in advance near this canyon.

Circling half a circle around the bottom of the canyon, Ruan Ning and Longbow, led by Zhang Yufu, entered a cave in the canyon from an almost hidden opening.

In the cave, Zhang Yufu walked to a mountain wall with his feet, took out the silver spear he was carrying behind his back, and slashed at the mountain wall, and a half-human-high mountain stone protruded from the mountain wall.

"To prevent being discovered, after the last time Qingfeng Village was besieged, a few brothers who were good at institutions came over to do something." Seeing the look of surprise on Ruan Ning and Longbow's faces, Zhang Yufu explained softly.

The three of them worked together to push the protruding rocks away, and what appeared in front of them was a long and dark tunnel.

Walking into the tunnel, Zhang Yufu raised his hand and patted a few times on the wall in the tunnel, and then heard a few "clicks", the mountain stone that was pushed away by the three of them returned to its original position little by little, and in just a short period of time, the mountain wall was restored to its original state, and no trace could be seen.

An hour later, in a remote room in Qingfeng Village.

Ruan Ning, who was dressed in disguise, sat in the courtyard, his face was full of anxiety, and his eyes looked in the direction of the door from time to time.

A quarter of an hour later, just when Ruan Ning was almost impatient, Zhang Yufu and Longbow, who were also dressed in disguise, pushed open the door with a somewhat ugly face and walked in.

"How's it going?" Ruan Ning looked at the two of them and asked a little anxiously.

"As expected, the stockade was occupied by the defenders of Xicheng, and there were patrols everywhere outside." Longbow said in a deep voice.

Ruan Ning frowned and asked, "What about our people?" ”

Longbow glanced at Zhang Yufu, and saw that he didn't know what he was thinking, and he looked distracted, so he pursed his lips and said, "Shilang didn't even see them in the city, but the others in the village were, but I always felt that something was wrong." And ......"

As he spoke, a ruthless color flashed on the longbow's face, and his eyes were faintly red.

"And what?" Ruan Ning, who sensed that something was wrong, hurriedly asked.

Longbow thought of the scene he had just seen, and he didn't know how to say it to Ruan Ning for a while, so he didn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing Longbow like this, Ruan Ning frowned, and said anxiously, "What's the matter, you guys say!" ”

"Something happened to Jin Buchang!" Just when Ruan Ning wanted to get up and go out to investigate by herself, Zhang Yufu's voice came into her ears, "Jin Buchang was seriously injured and was hung on the gate of Qingfeng Village. ”

"What!" Ruan Ning stood up suddenly, and the murderous intent on his face skyrocketed.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Yufu looked at Ruan Ning and asked with a dark face.

Ruan Ning turned his head, looked at Zhang Yufu with puzzled eyes, and said, "Jin Buchang, but you recruited him, and now you are being humiliated like this, can you really turn a blind eye?" ”

Zhang Yufu looked at Ruan Ning, with coldness in his eyes, "How do you want to save it?" There are people from the government everywhere outside, and Jin Buchang is heavily guarded by heavy soldiers, how can you save people when you have to take a break when you walk two steps now? What's more, we have just returned, and we haven't even figured out what happened in the stockade, and how we managed to save people! ”

Hearing this, Ruan Ning turned his head, suppressed the anger that kept rising in his heart, and asked in a dumb voice, "What happened?" Isn't that clear enough! Qingfeng Village is lost, the whereabouts of the brothers are unknown, Jin Buchang was seriously injured and hung on the city wall to be humiliated, as a big boss, is it possible for me to just watch it and ignore it? ”

Being yelled at by Ruan Ning like this, Zhang Yufu was also silent, just looked down at his toes, and didn't know what to think about.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room froze.

After a long time, Longbow sighed, looked at Ruan Ning, and said in a low voice, "Big boss, Yinlong is right." To save people now is tantamount to throwing ourselves into a trap. It's better to hold on to the ground first, find out what the situation is in Qingfeng Village now, and then make another plan. ”

Ruan Ning is not an impulsive person, he was just intercepted and killed along the way, and finally returned to Qingfeng Village, and found that the village had changed hands, and the brothers who had lived and died together were missing, and the humiliated ones were humiliated, and they couldn't accept it for a while. Now that I have calmed down for a while, I have naturally turned a corner.

Seeing that Ruan Ning had calmed down, Zhang Yufu and Longbow came around, and the three of them discussed in a low voice together for a long time.

After dark, Ruan Ning, who had not recovered from his serious injuries, was still waiting in the house, while Zhang Yufu and Longbow quietly left the house, avoiding the patrolling soldiers and silently sneaking into the streets and alleys of Qingfeng Village.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Yufu and Longbow came back one after another, followed by Longbow, and there were a few men from Qingfeng Village.

As soon as those men saw Ruan Ning, they immediately cried excitedly, "Big boss, you can be regarded as back!" ”

Ruan Ning stepped forward to help a few people and asked in a deep voice, "What happened in the stockade?" What's going on with those West City defenders? ”

Hearing Ruan Ning's question, the emotions that those men had managed to control became excited again.

“…… On that day, Brother Shilang opened the door of the village, and although the other leaders did not say anything, they were also secretly guarded. For several days in a row, there was no change in the people brought by Zhao Shizhu, and gradually, several masters also relaxed. But on the night of three days ago, Zhao Shizhu suddenly led people to attack, and the big guy was caught off guard. An older man told Ruan Ning and the others what happened in Qingfeng Village some time ago.

Ruan Ning frowned and said, "Even if they are defenseless, Shilang and them shouldn't be taken down so easily...... And there are so many people in the village, so that no one resists? ”

The old man sighed and said, "I don't know where they found a few big men, not to mention the strength, ordinary swords can't hurt them at all, and a few masters are not opponents at all. Later, Zhao Shizhu threatened the lives of several leaders and prevented the people in the village from resisting......"

"None of them escaped?" Zhang Yufu, who had been listening silently, raised his eyes to look at the man who was talking and asked.

The man shook his head and said, "Brother Shiro and Hitomi escaped out, and it was Brother Jin Buchang who covered them." But because of this, Brother Jin completely angered Zhao Shizhu, and he was dying by the big guys around him. In order to warn the people in the village, they also put Brother Jin ......"

As he spoke, the man couldn't help choking up, and he couldn't say any more.

Seeing that a few men could barely stop crying, Longbow sighed, stepped forward, and comforted softly, "Don't worry, the big boss is back, then Zhao Shizhu won't be arrogant for too long!" ”

After sending those men away, Zhang Yufu looked at Ruan Ning and asked, "What are you going to do now?" ”

Ruan Ning's face was as dark as water, his clenched fist slammed on the table, and he said angrily, "What should I do?" When my aunt and grandmother rescued people, I had to pick the skin of the dog official surnamed Zhao! Dare to take my letter and calculate my brothers, I am really Ruan Ning is a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others! ”

Taking a deep breath and calming down his mood, Ruan Ning looked up at Longbow and said in a deep voice, "Longbow, you secretly contact the brothers in the village and ask them to prepare secretly. Remember, don't startle the snake. ”

After speaking, Ruan Ning turned his head to look at Zhang Yufu, and stopped talking.

Without waiting for Ruan Ning to speak, Zhang Yufu lowered his voice and said, "I found out where they were being held in Liancheng Thunderfire, but the place where they were held was heavily guarded, and if they did it rashly, they were afraid that they would be in danger." ”

Hearing this, Ruan Ning lowered his head in contemplation and fell into silence.

After a long time, she raised her head, looked at the two of them, and said, "There will always be a way to save people, first find a way to gather the brothers in the village." ”

But none of the three of them thought that in just one night, something happened in Qingfeng Village that they didn't expect.

The longbow of the liaison who went out early in the morning hurried back, still holding a notice in his hand.

Zhang Yufu and Ruan Ning looked towards the notice, only to see that at the top of the notice was a portrait of Jin Buchang, and below it was written his crime of attempting to assassinate the official of the imperial court, as well as the news that he would be publicly beheaded at the gate of Qingfeng Village three days later.

"If you don't kill sooner rather than later, you just want to kill Jin at this time, but I'm afraid that the news of our escape has reached Zhao Shizhu's ears. His hand is nothing more than to force us to take the initiative to show up. Zhang Yufu looked at the notice, raised his hand and touched his chin, and said softly.

"What now? In three days, even if we gather all the people in the stockade, they have not been rescued from the thunder and fire in the city, and once we act rashly, I am afraid that it will be ......" Longbow looked at the notice in front of him, and his face was full of worry.

"Not only Liancheng Thunder Fire them, but also Shiro and Hitomi, they escaped from Qingfeng Village, and they don't know where they went. If I learn this news, I'm afraid I will come back too......" Ruan Ning frowned and said worriedly.

Zhang Yufu reached out and picked up the notice in the longbow's hand, with a somewhat incomprehensible smile in his eyes, and said, "This is not an opportunity. ”

Hearing this, Ruan Ning and Longbow looked up at him, their eyes full of puzzlement.

Zhang Yufu folded the notice in his hand slowly, motioned for the two to move forward, and then lowered his voice and said something in the ears of the two.

Listening to Zhang Yufu's words, Ruan Ning's eyes gradually brightened, and the worry on Longbow's face also weakened a little.

Three days passed in a flash, and Ruan Ning and Zhang Yufu, who were much better, quietly appeared in all corners of Qingfeng Village every day, silently arranging plans to save people and seize the village.

As soon as it was dawn on the third day, the trombone sounded in the Qingfeng Village.

Zhao Shizhu took a dozen tall and big men, and walked towards the gate of Qingfeng Village with a proud face.

On the high platform, looking at Jin Buchang, who was hanging outside the gate of the village and was embarrassed by many days of exposure, he laughed out loud with contempt in his eyes, "Jin Buchang, follow the wrong master, this is your end!" ”
