Chapter 45: Yun Yong

Everyone is going to squeeze in the post station for one night tonight, Sheng Lingyun asked to be with Uncle Wu, and Uncle Wu has no opinion. The two returned to the previous room, and when they left, Uncle Wu secretly gave Li Heng a look.

After Uncle Wu left, Li Heng didn't know why, thought for a while, and tentatively walked gently to each room in the corridor, one was silent, and the other was silent...... Seeing that it was not far from Uncle Wu's room, Li Heng was a little anxious, what did Uncle Wu want to explain to him?

Li Heng wanted to sneak a look at the movements of Uncle Wu and Sheng Lingyun, and walked to the door of Uncle Wu's next room, and a person inside suddenly opened the door halfway, blindfolded Li Heng's mouth and pulled him in, and then quickly closed the door.

It was a middle-aged gentleman who looked elegant and elegant, and he let go of Li Heng and sat on the chair with his hands behind his back.

"Who are you!" Li Heng was frightened, and in a blink of an eye, he thought that he should be the meaning conveyed by the master's eyes.

This person motioned for Li Heng to sit down first with his eyes, and then said, "Didn't your master tell you?"

Li Heng let down his guard and asked, "I don't know what Mr. means by this?"

This person was not in a hurry to confess his identity to Li Heng, but calmly asked, "Who is the person who is with your master?"

Li Hengda told what happened, and after listening to it, the gentleman mocked: "A boatload of people is helpless to take two young people!"

The Shocking Wind Gate was ridiculed, Li Heng was very displeased, and said sarcastically, "Sir, aren't you also sneaky at the moment?"

Instead of being angry, the gentleman nodded with satisfaction, "This looks much more pleasing to the eye than before." ”

I remember that when I first contacted the Storm Gate, Uncle Wu took Li Heng with him, and at that time, a screen separated them, and Li Heng stood outside holding hands and not knowing what to do. Later, every time I bought and sold with Uncle Wu, I secretly saw Li Heng, although he was a little childish, he was also very well-behaved, and he was always a little less manly. See you today, I didn't expect to mature a lot all of a sudden.

Li Heng was choked by his words, but he could also be sure that he was the mysterious person who traded with Uncle Wu every time, and then smiled again: "May I ask the honorific title of Mr.?"

"Wood and stone."

"Mr. Wood." Li Heng bowed respectfully again.

Mr. Mu still likes Li Heng, he is a malleable talent, and he doesn't care about his previous insulting words, but said kindly: "The frightening door is in trouble, I should help you get out of trouble." But now that General Li has been assassinated, the defense in the city is extremely strict, and it is necessary to be cautious. ”

"General Li has an accident!" Li Hengda was shocked, no wonder they couldn't go, who was so bold!

"It's none of your business, the less you know, the better." Mr. Mu was not as gentle as Fang Cai, and seemed to be dissatisfied with Li Heng's misplaced thoughts.

Li Heng retracted his surprise and recalled what Mr. Mu had just said to him, before he replied, "Mr. is reasonable. So what should we do next?"

Uncle Wu summoned him here, and this person must have a way to help them. But if he gets out of here, how will he go back to Furong Town?

Li Heng's heart was full of entanglement, and on the one hand, he hated Xu Yunxi for not accepting his affection. If he returned to Furong Town at that time, he could see the girl on the bridge again, how good his long-cherished wish would be, and how could he be trapped here, and even return to the Storm Gate is a luxury. On the other hand, it seems that only by keeping up with Xu Yunxi and them can they have a chance to return to Furong Town, how to choose?

Mr. Li smiled mysteriously and said countermeasures in Li Heng's ear.

After a night of searching, only a group of people from the acrobatic troupe were caught near the Lingchuan River. The fact that they wanted to smuggle through Moro further proved that they might be Moro's spies and deliberately retaliate. The deputy guard was furious, and what made him even more angry was that a group of elite soldiers couldn't even catch a little child, and they couldn't escape!

The deputy guard interrogated the acrobatic troupe for a night, and beat them until their flesh and blood were blurred, and these people spat out a little truth from their mouths. They are not Mo Luo's spies, let alone want to assassinate General Li, but someone paid a high price for them to cooperate in this scene, as for who it is, they don't know, they only know that they sent children.

And the boatman was beaten to the point that his skin was broken, and he still stubbornly shouted that he was not guilty, could he really be innocent? The deputy guard let the acrobatic troupe claim it, and the people of the acrobatic troupe also shook their heads, and the deputy guard had a bottom in his heart and temporarily withdrew his punishment.

The deputy guard threw his whip and sat down outside the cell, these people did not look like they were lying, the child was the main culprit, a small child, who was so vicious, who was instigating, and what was the purpose? Does it have anything to do with Moro? Now I have to hurry up and report to King Ming and strengthen precautions to avoid regeneration.

In addition, there are fugitives who have not yet been brought to justice, and those who are detained cannot be released for the time being, but it is not a way to keep them locked up, and it is easy to cause public anger, so what should we do?

Early the next morning, the people at the post station and the wharf began to boil, clamoring for them to let go, and the deputy guards sent troops to surround the human wall and forcibly detain them.

The merchants of the inn also began to stir and flocked to the door to get out. Business is not child's play, and a delay of one day may result in a loss of a hundred taels of silver, and they can't spend it in Yuyuan. What's more, judging from the patrol formation last night, this thief is not an ordinary person, if it is an enemy of Moro, once there is a war here, they will be in danger, so they want to leave Yuyuan even more urgently.

Seeing that the people were panicked, they couldn't suppress it, and the little soldier hurriedly went to ask the adults to report to the deputy guard.

"General, if we don't let them go free, I'm afraid that the people will panic even more, and once the anger of the people occurs, it will be difficult to control it." The adults in charge of the post station were so anxious that they knelt down and begged for their lives.

What I was worried about last night happened today, how much these people can't wait! The deputy guard slapped the armrest of the palace chair and stood up angrily, "Lord Zhang, then you tell me a better way to catch the traitor." Now that this group of people is released, I am afraid that they will make a fuss out of the fish abyss, and then the traitors will smuggle out, the ends of the earth, where to catch them! ”

The adult was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "The general is angry! It's just that we have to send troops to defend the people, and we have to increase the number of search and arrest troops, which is really a dilemma! ”

The deputy guard can understand the helplessness of his subordinates, the ignorant people are like this, the sword mountain and the sea of fire want you to break through, and you have to carry it when the disaster comes, and even if you rush to protect them, they don't appreciate it, but complain that you delayed their escape.

The deputy guard rubbed his eyebrows for a while, and said helplessly: "In this way, you go and tell them that if you cooperate for one more day, you will return their freedom tomorrow." Then transfer some of the guards over, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they will dig out the rebels! ”

After receiving the reply, the people gradually settled down, and if they made any more trouble, they were afraid that they would be sleepy for a longer time, so they could only take a step back. In this way, it also lightens the burden on the military guards, and they have more troops to find people.

After the morning, the guards of the city went from house to house with portraits to look for people, and even the people in the post station were not left behind.

When they came to Sheng Lingyun and Uncle Wu, the officers and soldiers only glanced at them hastily, they were tall and didn't need to be studied carefully, and then took out the portrait, "Did you see this person last night?"

Sheng Lingyun was a little surprised when he saw that it was a child, "No, dare to ask him what he has done?"

"Assassinating the general, the crime deserves death! If you see this child, or if there is a centipede infested anywhere, report it quickly. ”

"Centipedes?" Everyone was puzzled, only Uncle Wu and Sheng Lingyun sighed in their hearts, "Could it be the Golden Lotus Sect Qianzu!" ”

There are five protectors under the Golden Lotus Sect, among which only the Golden Snake and the Poisonous Siniang often appear in the rivers and lakes, the other three have only heard of the name, and there are not many people who have seen their true faces, even the new leader of the Golden Lotus Sect, Fu Chengyan, has never appeared, and it is still a big strange talk.

Although they were surprised, they did not dare to make a statement, and the officers and soldiers checked the people and let them go back to their rooms.

Mr. Mu stood behind Sheng Lingyun, and when Sheng Lingyun turned around, he looked at him for two seconds, nodded to each other, and then went back to their respective rooms.

On the Pinghuai Wharf, Xu Yunxi also saw the portrait, and like Sheng Lingyun, he also guessed that it was the Golden Lotus Sect. It's just that he has one more layer of questions, does the Golden Lotus Sect have anything to do with the silver-faced people?

After tossing and turning all the way, Jiang Xiaotian finally received the letter, except for the identity and location of the recipient, there were only a few words left, "Furong Town, Yingyutang, Ming, etc." ”

Qiao Yiling read the note and was very puzzled, "Brother Sheng, didn't they go to the Storm Gate, why did they go to Furong Town, where is this?" Also, what does this 'Ming' mean?"

"Miss Ling'er, let's not delve into it yet, hurry up and clean up, call Shang Ziyan, and we will leave immediately!"

"Yes."

Qiao Yiling immediately turned around and went back to the room, a trace of hesitation flashed in Jiang Xiaotian's eyes just now, but she had unexpectedly caught it. After getting along these days, in fact, Jiang Xiaotian did not have anything suspicious, let alone had contact with anyone, Qiao Yiling also wondered if the silver-faced man deliberately misled Xu Yunxi. In addition, Jiang Xiaotian cares for his juniors, Qiao Yiling has been taken care of by him for so long, and he has a lot of respect in his heart, and his doubts gradually disappear.

But just now, there was obviously a secret in his eyes. Qiao Yiling turned around the corner of the corridor and did not walk towards the room, but secretly stood there, paying attention to Jiang Xiaotian's movements.

Jiang Xiaotian estimated that after Qiao Yiling walked away, he walked towards the courtyard rock. Qiao Yiling couldn't see it from a distance, but fortunately, there were a lot of gravel here, and she secretly followed Jiang Xiaotian for a distance.

After walking a short distance, Jiang Xiaotian stopped in front of a tall stone, first looked around to make sure that no one was there, and then twisted a stone next to him. The stone gate was moved to the side, it was a stone cave, Jiang Xiaotian walked straight in, and when he exited, he was holding a red-billed carrier pigeon in his hand.

Qiao Yiling has never seen such a carrier pigeon, and at first glance, it has been specially domesticated, so cautious and secret, it is to contact a specific person.

Jiang Xiaotian had already written a creed in the stone cave, tied it to the pigeon's feet with a red rope, and released it to a high place, and only walked back to the room when he saw it fly far away into a small dot.

Qiao Yiling made a note of this place, quickly returned to the room to pack his things, and then waited for Jiang Xiaotian in the lobby.

Jiang Xiaotian had already sent someone to call Xiao Ziyan, Xiao Ziyan came on horseback not long after, turned over and dismounted and ran to the lobby, "Sheng Gongzi, what happened to them?"

"Ziyan." Qiao Yiling and Jiang Xiaotian came up together.

"Let's not delay any longer, on the way." Jiang Xiaotian led the two of them to ride fast horses and went east.

Xiao Ziyan knew the seriousness of the matter, now it was Nie Changnan sitting in the village, but Sheng Lingyun and they only passed the news to Jiang Xiaotian, and there must be something strange in it, so they only asked Nie Changnan for resignation perfunctorily, and did not explain the reason. Nie Changnan knew that this group of people was used to being free, and he didn't stay long, until he heard that they were leaving with Jiang Xiaotian, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

The three of them left their horses at a horse farm near the dock and talked as they walked.

"Hibiscus Town? Why is this place so unfamiliar?" Xiao Ziyan listened to what happened and wondered.

"Furong Town is close to Yuyuan, and the waterway is faster, but there is also a long journey." Jiang Xiaotian has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for half his life, and his footprints are all over the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, and he probably knows where these places are even if he is not familiar with them.

The boat was opened, and everyone sat in the cabin.

"I don't know what happened to Brother Sheng and them, you see where this letter is a letter, it's obviously a call for help."
