Chapter 65: Closing the Net

Chu Kang, Huo Guang, and Ru Jingxiu scolded and shouted to untie Lao Tzu, and the knife and axe men surrounded them, but no one picked up the three hot potatoes, and finally the three were released under Xu Wenchang's signal, and they limped out with each other's support:

"Huang Wanli, your uncle, Lao Tzu will not take revenge, and he will not be a man." Ru Jingxiu couldn't speak with his brain, he was the worst, his left leg was broken, and there was no good place on his chest and back, if it weren't for the two brothers holding him, he wouldn't be able to stand up at all.

Thinking about it, their second ancestors are usually used to being uncles, and they suddenly go into battle to fight, but they are not giving the enemy a head. Now that I almost lost my life, I was beaten and kicked by Wuhua Da, and the humiliation I suffered was unforgettable.

"The three of them are all distinguished guests of Mingjin Building, and they will make up for it in the future. Today's events are all misunderstandings. Xu Wenchang didn't care at all, and stood with his hands in his hands.

"Misunderstand your uncle, Lao Tzu went back and led the troops to level your dilapidated building." Chu Kang shouted angrily, it is rare for these young masters not to be cowardly, and now they see the sailors and warships surrounding, and there are Lingwuhou and Cui Tanhua standing on the platform, naturally the waist pole is stiff, and the people are dead and the birds are facing the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years.

"What do you two say? It's better to sit down in the courtyard on the third floor with Wen Chang, let's talk slowly, as the so-called don't fight and don't know each other, Mingjin Lou will give you a satisfactory explanation. Xu Wenchang didn't entangle with the three of them, and turned his head to Bai Yanqiu and Cui Hanzhang, these two are the main ones.

Over there, Wen Mu, the commander of the naval division, had already shouted to Ming Jinlou: "Marquis Bai, Commander Cui, the last general received a signal to rush over, and the surrounding five miles of water have been blocked.

Previously, the river suddenly exploded, impacting several trailing boats head-on, causing the boat to capsize and fall into the water, but the main warships of the naval division stabilized the formation, fortunately, they were not in the center of the explosion, and now after adjusting the angle, they closed the encirclement again, and the close warships had already set up a ladder and threw iron claws, ready to board.

Cui Hanzhang and Bai Yanqiu glanced at each other, faintly worried, the matter is so big, Brother Xuan has not yet appeared, it is not that something has happened.

"If Mingjinlou is sincere, hand over Brother Xuan'er first, and he will board the ship with me and enter the building." Cui Hanzhang was worried about Brother Xuan's safety, so he directly made his words clear and asked him for someone.

"Why does Cui Tanhua want to test Wen Chang, if you can't believe me, even if you search the boat, Mingjin Mansion will not be able to see people." Xu Wenchang is still breezy and calm.

There was a sound of armor rubbing, and the sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer and closer, and the commander General Wen Mu and his soldiers quickly surrounded this place: "The last general Wen Mu was ordered to come to support." ”

"Please ask Commander Wen to send someone into the water to search, the scope has been expanded to fifty miles of water, and my scholar has been missing for a long time." Cui Hanzhang clenched his fists and asked Wen Mu to send someone into the water to search.

"Send the order to go down and send Zhang Cangshui Barracks to search the water, be sure to find someone." Commander Wen acted vigorously and immediately turned his head to arrange.

"Please also ask Commander Wen to escort me to the three-story courtyard and talk to Mingjin Tower about tonight."

"The Hengjiang battalion took over the rudder and garrison of the Mingjinlou, docked nearby, and changed guards with the ranger brothers at that time, the Qinglong battalion continued to patrol and block the river, and the others followed me to protect Hou Ye and Commander Cui." Commander Wen made arrangements to control the entire Mingjin Building, adding bargaining chips for later negotiations.

"By the way, Wanyu, Qingqing, Wanqing, Wulan and other girls served very well just now, I hope to see them later, please lead the way."

"That's natural, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, since Cui Tanhua named a few girls to serve, Wen Chang arranged it."

So the group was invited back to the hall again under the leadership of Xu Wenchang, and Cui Hanzhang whispered to Commander Wen as he walked: "If it weren't for Commander Wen arriving in time this time, the lives of a few others would be in jeopardy, and I would have worked hard." ”

"Commander Cui doesn't have to see outside, Wen has a certain part of the matter, and with the Hou Ye here, Ming Jinlou doesn't dare to kill him." Wen Mu is still relatively restrained, at present, all the city defenses in Taikang City are under the jurisdiction of the young man in front of him, and he is still careful to accompany him.

"Later, I will immediately arrange for the brothers of the sailor to check all kinds of people in the Mingjin Building one by one, but if they find any foreigners, they will all be taken, and the underwater part of the warship should not be spared." Cui Hanzhang suffered a big loss tonight, which was also caused by his trust, and he also re-examined Mingjin Building at this time.

"Uncle Wen must avenge us, look at Jingxiu's appearance, his legs are broken, and Chu Kang has no good place in his body, maybe we will all be disabled in the future, and we will be laughed at by the people of Taikang for a lifetime." Huo Guang seized the opportunity to sue, pulling Wen Mu's sleeve to complain, and the corners of Commander Wen's mouth twitched when he said this.

Wen Mu is the right-hand man of the Huo family, especially since the old man Huo was ordered to build the Shenguang Water Division, the three generations of the Huo family have been in charge of the water division, Wen Mu is the proud protégé of Huo Guang's uncle Huo Yunlong, Huo Guang is the eldest of the Huo family's generation, and his age is very different from that of other brothers, and he usually calls him Uncle Wen when he sees Wen Mu and others.

"Although you have suffered tonight, you have all behaved very well, suffering more in peacetime and shedding less blood in wartime. Uncle Wen has taken your business to heart. Wen Mu looked at the three boys grinning with their teeth, and it was rare to smile.

In fact, there is something he can't say, tonight the three of them can sacrifice their lives to stand on the side of Lingwu Hou and Tanhualang, although they have suffered a lot, but they have also earned a good future in the future. Now these two masters are the leaders of the younger generation who are in high demand, and it is naturally a good thing to form an alliance with them.

It is impossible to say that the boy's family will also reassess their future, and the corresponding resources will be smashed down countless times to help them climb higher step by step.

On the other side, Huang Wanli saw the sailor set up a ladder to board the boat, and knew that things could not be good tonight, and the situation was beyond the control of Ming Jinlou, but fortunately, the catastrophe that wanted people's lives had exploded in the river, and when he came to die, there was no proof of his death, and there might be a glimmer of life.

The fire was gradually controlled, most of the cabin was burned, Huang Wanli looked at the ashes in his eyes, but the sense of crisis in his mind was uncontrollable, since the Tianzi Courtyard took action to destroy the woe, kill people and extinguish the mouth, then he had to take a good look at the thread and deal with all the traces, if there was another mistake, that is, the king of heaven Lao Tzu could not save him.

"Director Huang, Mr. Xu invites you to go to the Dizi Courtyard for discussion." Suddenly, a black-clothed guard came to report the news.

"Got it, let's step back first."

Huang Wanli strode towards the middle of the deck, the Dizi Courtyard was his yard, and now he hurried back to destroy all traces.

When he pushed the door in, he saw six people sitting in the room, it was Lingwuhou and Cui Hanzhang and others who had been fighting and killed before. Song Qingqing, Lou Wanqing and other girls were using water to help wash their wounds, and Miss Wulan, to be precise, Siniang was serving tea and pouring wine. Xu Wenchang sat quietly opposite and drank, as if the whole audience was waiting for him.

"Hey, isn't this our Huang Da in charge, willing to show up?" When Ru Jingxiu saw Huang Wanli, she gritted her teeth with hatred, and couldn't wait to go up and kill him.

"Brother Xiu, what did you say? The old man rushed to the back cabin to put out the fire, just extinguished the fire, tonight's incident was all a misunderstanding, to be beaten and punished, the old man admitted. Huang Wanlipi didn't smile and replied sarcastically.

"Steward Huang sat down and spoke, Ming Jinlou was not considerate of his guests, and he deserved to be punished, not to mention that Marquis Bai and Cui Tanhua were not unreasonable people." Xu Wenchang called Huang Wanli over at this time.

Cui Hanzhang was greatly inspired to see Xu Wenchang's shot just now, and unconsciously immersed himself in the experience of the fight just now, Xu Wenchang's shot had no warning or momentum, just like the fist of the dust that does not eat the fireworks of the world, at this time he sat cross-legged and sneered, and his heart sounded the mantra passed down by the master when he was recuperating in Qianyanzhou: "The Tao and the world do not know, no one knows in the pot, the old tree is rooted in the soil, the birds do not leave a photo, the nose of the nose is the heart, the heart has the Xuanzhu to give birth to light, the Xuanzhu grains go to the mud pills, and the soul of the reel is transferred." ”

It seems that all the sounds in heaven and earth have disappeared at this moment, what Huang Wanli said He has completely shielded, and there is a natural flow of air in the dantian, which is much smoother than his usual qi conduction, and the cold energy of the qi fu in his chest is dissipating, and he is gradually shrinking in the qi fu acupoint. Bai Yanqiu saw that his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was asleep, and couldn't help but pat his head, "Good brother, what kind of god will this go?"

"Hey, Master Bai Hou must not disturb Cui Tanhua, I didn't expect him to be able to settle down anytime and anywhere at a young age, presumably a misunderstanding between us just now triggered him a lot." Xu Wenchang's face was expressionless, but he was shocked in his heart, thinking that he had suddenly comprehended it at the age of forty, and his fist intent entered the room.

Although the name of Shenguang Eight Horses Tanhualang is loud, but Xu Wenchang really didn't take it to heart, after all, it is actually difficult to live under the fame, and he can see the embroidered pillows on the rivers and lakes, but tonight, the performance of this Tanhualang is really full of surprises, and he can't help but love talents, if it weren't for the fact that the two sides are on opposite sides at this time, he really wants to have a drink with Tanhualang. He spoke out to stop Bai Yanqiu, but also to release goodwill, now that the sailor has boarded the ship to take control of Mingjin Tower, the situation is stronger than people, and he is also thinking about how to clean up this pile of messes.

Xu Wenchang was more angry with Huang Wanli, he was a lot older, and his brain had grown to a pig. During the war between the two countries, not all money could be made, or he made money by taking risks, and I am afraid that he also had a life to earn and no life to spend.

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a dumb person." One sentence made Huang Wan's color blue and white for a while, but he didn't dare to attack, so the entire eighteen-foot stacking room was quiet, only the sound of sipping tea slightly.

This atmosphere is very delicate, Ru Jingxiu, Huo Guang and others are unstable after all, and they can't stand this quiet atmosphere.

"Sigh, sigh" keeps shouting,

"I said, Miss Wanyu, can you light it?"

"Half of my master's life is gone, Miss Wanqing's subordinates are merciful." This kid grinned in pain from the medicine, and he didn't do anything right.

Wen Mu really couldn't stand the three stinky boys shouting over there, and they didn't forget to tease the girl, so he arranged for the soldiers to take them off the boat and send them back to the house for treatment.

"I won't leave, I'm injured like this, how can I see people, I will die in Mingjin Tower." Ru Jingxiu's mouth was still hard, and she refused to go downstairs.

"You can't trust me Wen Mu, can't you still trust Bai Hou Ye and Cui Tanhua?" Wen Mu glared and drank directly.

"The three sons will go back to recuperate with peace of mind, and Mingjinlou will come to the door to make amends, which will definitely satisfy you." Xu Wenchang knew that the three of them were careful thinking, so he directly picked it out.

Before leaving, Ru Jingxiu, Huo Guang, and Chu Kang still remembered to say goodbye to a few girls, their eyes were full of reluctance, and Wen Mu was called a diaphragm.

"Quick, quick, take ....." Wen Mu waved his hand impatiently, telling his men to carry them away.

After the three masters were sent away, the entire Dizi Courtyard was completely quiet, Cui Hanzhang opened his eyes and exhaled slowly, this breath was very long, and others seemed to have a long white mist spraying out between his mouth and nose,

"Tanhualang seems to have made progress in his kung fu, which is gratifying." Xu Wenchang said in a rare and serious manner.

"It's a blessing in disguise, and I was still touched by Mr. Xu. There are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, Mr. Xu let Cui see what a real master is. Cui Hanzhang said very seriously.

"If it weren't for today's misunderstanding, you and I could have had a good drink, Xu hereby promised that the door of Mingjin Building would always be open to Cui Tanhua, but wherever it is useful, just give orders."

"Mr. Xu said this, can he represent Mingjin Lou? Cui and Hou Ye were not lightly injured and couldn't afford to delay time. When Bai Yanqiu heard Hanzhang's words, he immediately got up.

At this time, a loud voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, "Whatever Wen Chang says, Mingjinlou will fulfill it, please Hou Ye and Tanhua Lang forgive the old man for being physically inconvenient to meet guests." ”

"Listening to this voice, it is full of energy, it doesn't look like a sick person, why don't you go downstairs and see it?" Bai Yanqiu hates the people who hide their heads and show their tails the most, so they speak out fiercely.

He only responded with a whimpering Jiang Feng, and no sound came.....

"It was the previous game when Tanhualang won the bet and Huang was in charge, Ming Jinlou admitted to the gamble and lost, and all the 1.25 million taels of silver were exchanged for Xiao's money and silver notes, which will be sent to the house tonight." After listening to me, Marquis Bai is a little restless.

"At the same time, you can take Miss Wulan away, but the black fire thunder is indeed not in Mingjin Building, so Cui Tanhua should not be strong."

"Tonight, the injuries suffered by Hou Ye, Tanhualang, the guards and others, Ming Jinlou will be responsible to the end, and make compensation, and Mingjin Lou will try his best to meet any requirements." Xu Wen said all the conditions in one breath, and then four maidservants walked in, each holding a small box and opening it in turn, putting it on the table and leaving.

"These are just a little compensation, Wen Chang knows that the two of them are nobles, so naturally they can't look down on this yellow and white thing, but please believe in the sincerity of Ming Jinlou, and then something will be sent to the mansion."

"Sincerity, sincerity, this is just the sincerity of our Mingjin Building, and then Huang will personally go to your house to apologize and ask for peace." Huang Wanli said flatteringly with a smile on his face.

Cui Hanzhang's eyebrows were lowered, and he never answered, Bai Yanqiu playfully picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly.

The atmosphere fell into embarrassment again, the smile on Huang Wanli's face gradually solidified, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Mr. Xu.

"It seems that Cui Tanhua is not satisfied with Xu's conditions, Xu is not good at guessing people's hearts, so it is better to ask Cui Tanhua to offer a price directly."

"Although the black fire thunder was detonated in Longyuan Jiangli, there are some things that don't have to be clarified, Cui hopes that Mingjinlou will show sincerity." Cui Hanzhang suddenly opened his eyes and shot a terrifying look.

"In a word, I want Beihu Lushui Camp's stronghold in Taikang City."

"You are spewing blood, Mingjin Tower has nothing to do with Beihu Green Water Camp." Hearing this, Huang Wanli's mind went blank, and he stood up sharply and pointed at Cui Hanzhang and scolded angrily.

"It's a fart to be angry, we've also used knives and guns to play with our lives, sincerity is not something that you say with your mouth."

"The dignified Shenguang first-class Lingwu Marquis almost killed Ming Jinlou, the crime of assassinating the prince of the imperial court, can Ming Jinlou afford it?" Cui Hanzhang was also too lazy to pay attention to Huang Lao Pifu, but stared at Xu Wenchang.

"Although Ben Hou is soft-spoken, the Bai family is hereditary, and there are more iron coupons and books, so he can also speak in the palace." Lingwu Hou took a sip of the hot tea in his cup and said slowly.

Without waiting for Cui Hanzhang to give the order, Wen Mu waved his hand violently towards the small courtyard, and in an instant, the shield pawns in the front row stood up and drew their swords, and the eighteen crossbowmen in the back row took arrows and drew their bows, Zhang was like a full moon, and the whole courtyard echoed with the sound of steel knives slapping shields.

Even Xu Wenchang also changed color when he heard it, and the situation crisis was about to break out.

"Okay, I'll take over this matter in Mingjinlou, and tonight's matter will stop at the Dizi Courtyard, how about it." Xu Wenchang pressed Huang Wanli, who still wanted to step forward to defend himself, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

"Be quick and fast, talking to Mr. Xu is Lisuo, there is Lingwu Hou here to testify, tonight's matter will turn over, within three days, Cui will clear the spies of the Green Water Battalion lurking in Taikang City."

"Master Hou, we should go back in the middle of the night after bothering us, let's go, help me." Cui Hanzhang got up as he spoke.

"Alas, Ben Hou's waist." Bai Yanqiu watched that the matter was finished, and Cui Hanzhang helped each other to get up.

Wen Mu hurriedly sent someone to help the two, the other two were carried out by the soldiers on a stretcher, and the group went out of the courtyard in a mighty way, at this time the Mingjinlou had also entered the port and docked, and the rangers on the shore had already been waiting for it, but they saw that their own commander was carried off the boat, and hurriedly went up to hand over, and the Mingjinlou banquet that had been making trouble all night was over.

Cui Hanzhang insisted on waiting for the news of the search in the naval camp on the shore, if he couldn't wait for Brother Xuan, he would not be at ease even if he went back.

"Master Hou will help you tonight, Hanzhang is unforgettable, please hurry up and recuperate, and come to the door another day to thank you." Originally, Bai Yanqiu also had to wait for the news together, but Cui Hanzhang disagreed.

"Don't fix those useless, brothers of life and death, it's hypocritical to be polite with me." Bai Yanqiu punched Cui Hanzhang's chest, and he bared his teeth in pain.

"Let's go, when Ben Hou's injury is healed, let's re-climb the Mingjin Tower and find three more girls to drink a lot." is a good Bai Yanqiu, and the romantic nature is difficult to change.

Cui Hanzhang looked at this first-class Lingwu Marquis who was carried away slowly by many generals and guards, and couldn't help laughing, this Taikang City is still a little humane.

"A team will immediately detain Zhuo Siniang and search her body, and she must be strictly guarded for three meals a day, and there must be no accidents, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law." Cui Hanzhang pointed at Ulan and ordered.

"The second team and the third team sent brothers who are familiar with the water to take the sailor warship and go into the water to search for Brother Xuan."

"The four teams immediately ordered the Yulin Army to investigate the various waterway systems in the city, and not a single mouse should be spared."

"In addition, the most important thing is to ask Commander Wen to immediately seal the confluence of the tributaries of the Longyuan River and Taikang City, and arrange a battalion of soldiers and horses to guard it." Cui Hanzhang issued four military orders in one go.

"The last will be ordered." Wen Mu knew the priority, and immediately led his troops to block the river confluence in person.

This night is destined to be sleepless, Cui Hanzhang can no longer hold on after issuing the military order, after all, it is a whole night of exhaustion, but also forced luck to fight, at this time after slackening down, he fainted suddenly, the soldiers around him quickly supported him, and hurriedly carried him back to Xiaolianzhuang.
