.

Soon, Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu climbed to the top of the cliff. I didn't dare to get too close, I just looked at it condescendingly. Deng, I saw that there were many large ships in the smoke, but now they were all on fire, and some of them were even half sunk.

With this firelight, Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu also saw two groups of people fighting on the boat, but because they were too far apart, they couldn't see who was who. But it's not so much a fight as a torture and killing, or a struggle before dying.

It was clear that one of the men had smoke in their hands, and they had no strength to fight back, so they could only let the other side kill. Some wanted to jump into the river and escape, but the smoke had already penetrated deep into their hearts, and they couldn't climb anymore, so they could only watch the fire scorching their bodies and could do nothing.

Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu originally wanted to fly down to save people, but it was too late and they couldn't go. Soon, all the ships were on fire and all began to sink. The smoke did not dissipate, and the billowing smoke was intertwined, if it flew down at this time, it would be tantamount to self-defeat, so Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu could only watch anxiously from the top of the cliff.

After a while, when the ship was about to sink, several figures jumped into the water one after another, and soon disappeared. After a while, the river was once again in total darkness, and even the last vestiges of fire were swallowed up by the river, as if nothing had happened.

After the smoke cleared, Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu immediately climbed down again, stepped on a light boat, lit torches, and rowed to see if there were still people alive before the incident. But all around was a mess, the corpses were floating and flowing with the water, and no one was still alive.

Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu couldn't help but feel sad and regretful, looked at the messy scene, and said, "Brother Danqiu, do you think this is strange? If there were robbers who came to rob the ships, then why did they sink all the ships into the river? ”

"Anthracene, it's a little strange!" Yuan Danqiu thought for a moment and said, "Just now we saw those people fleeing in, it seems that this is a premeditated attack. ”

"Alas, I don't know who is so unlucky and has suffered such a big disaster." Li Bai sighed very much, lamented God's injustice, and said: "Brother Danqiu, let's go first, and call the people from the official mansion to investigate." Do you remember what I told you, Brother Wang Lun? He seems to be in charge of this area of Jing County, and there has been no news of him for so many months, so I just went to ask. ”

"Anthracene, what Brother Taibai said is reasonable." Yuan Danqiu nodded in agreement and said, "Then let's go quickly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to ourselves." ”

As he spoke, Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu propped up the bamboo pole again and rowed the light boat to the shore. When they got to the shore and were about to leave, suddenly, a choking sound came from not far away, accompanied by the sound of splashing, as if someone had climbed up from the river.

"Anthracene? Is anyone still alive? Li Bai was stunned, then looked at Yuan Danqiu with a pair of eyes, and then tacitly ran away from the place where the voice came.

From time to time, I saw a person lying by the river, soaking wet. When he saw Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu approaching, he immediately became vigilant, raised his hand and pointed at it with his sword. He tried to stand up, but he didn't have the strength, and his body just left the ground before he fell down again.

It was too dark, and Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu couldn't see the true appearance of this person clearly, not to mention that his face was still stained with mud and covered by his long hair, which made it even more unclear. Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu wanted to step forward to help him, but he was very scared and vigilant, and kept shrinking back.

Seeing this, Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu were stunned, and then Li Bai comforted: "Your Excellency, don't panic, we are not here to harm you. We saw a fight here, so let's come and see, I wonder if your Excellency is hurt? We are willing to help you find a doctor. ”

The man in front of him made a heavy 'cough' twice, and then the dumb fat man asked, "You...... Who are you? What's the name? ”

"In Xia Yuan Danqiu!" Yuan Danqiu.

"Under Li Taibai!" Li bai.

"Too ...... Too...... Brother Taibai? The man stammered, his tone full of surprise and disbelief, but also full of joy and hope.

"Anthracene?" Li Bai was stunned: "Are you?" ”

"I ...... I ......" the man: "Wang Lun! ”

"Huh?"

Li Bai hurriedly ran forward, took a look at the torch in Yuan Danqiu's hand, and found that it was indeed Wang Lun. Wang Lun also recognized Li Bai and wanted to say something, but after grinning at the corner of his mouth, he fainted and didn't wake up.

This is something that Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu never expected, and without saying a word, they hurriedly picked up Wang Lun and flew to the nearest village. Li Bai used all his strength, and the calligraphy was light and shifting, and even Yuan Danqiu could barely keep up.

Fortunately, Wang Lun did not have any major injuries, but only suffered some relatively shallow skin injuries. The reason why he was in a coma was only because he choked on water and his lung disease.

Lung disease is a terrible disease, and the four words of hero shortness of breath can vividly illustrate it. No matter where it is sacred, only if you have lung disease, then it is difficult to use your strength. Wang Lun was choked by the water so violently that he almost choked to death directly, but fortunately, it was best to turn the corner.

However, Wang Lun was in a coma for several days, and the doctor said that the smoke was not light. People with lung disease are most afraid of smoke, and if you inhale one or two puffs accidentally, you can choke to death.

Li Bai has been guarding Wang Lun, blaming himself and regretting it, and he is infinitely ashamed. said that if he knew that it was Wang Lun in the boat in front of him that night, then Li Bai would rush over to help even if he died. Yuan Danqiu comforted him and said that there was no way to do it, the smoke was too big, and even if he went, he might not end up with any benefits.

Li Bai knew this in his heart, but he just blamed himself. Yuan Danqiu saw that he couldn't do it, so he had to go out and inquire around, inquiring about some related matters about the shipwreck that night, but he didn't expect to listen to it, and they were shocked when they inquired.

The whole Jing County is rumored that Wang Lun embezzled military salaries, secretly colluded with mountain bandits to do all kinds of evil, rape and plunder, and so on. After Yuan Danqiu told Li Bai about this, Li Bai immediately became angry and said: "This is a nonsense thing at all, Brother Wang Lun's character, I dare to use my own head as a guarantee." ”

As soon as Li Bai finished saying this, Lang Zhong, who was helping to see a doctor, happened to come in, which scared Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu very much, and hurriedly blocked Wang Lun, for fear that this Lang Zhong would go to Gaomi. Unexpectedly, this Lang Zhong said: "Don't worry, from the moment you brought Lord Wang, I have already recognized that this is Lord Wang, if I want to go Gaomi, I am afraid that this place has already been surrounded by officers and soldiers." Come, this is the honey I just picked, you can flush it and give it to Lord Wang to drink. ”

This Lang Zhong didn't look like he was lying, but Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu were still vigilant, after all, now there was a rumor of madness outside, and the people in the government were chasing Wang Lun everywhere. Seeing this, Lang Zhong said: "Lord Wang is a good official of ours, although he is only a small Langzhong, but I can still distinguish between good and bad." I also know about this rumor, but I believe that Lord Wang was misunderstood, and it was the eunuch who deliberately harmed Lord Wang. ”

"Oh?" Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu looked at each other for a moment, as if they had found a thread in a mess, and asked, "Eunuch? Which eunuch? ”

"Which eunuch else could it be?" Lang Zhong looked left and right through the window, and when he saw that there was no one, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Of course, it's the biggest eunuch in the world." ”

"Colliers?" Li bai.

"Shh Lang Zhong motioned for Li Bai to be quiet, turned around and closed the window and door, and then said: "I told you only when you saved Lord Wang, but it's okay to talk about it here, but you must not spread it, otherwise we will all lose our heads." ”

"Then dare to ask the doctor, do you know what happened to your Lord Wang?" Li Bai was eager to know and asked, "Why did the biggest eunuch frame him?" ”

"Anthracene? You don't know? Lang Zhonghu was suspicious for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Aren't you friends with Lord Wang?" ”

"That's what the doctor is." Li Bai explained: "We haven't seen Brother Wang Lun for a long time, and some time ago we passed by here to visit, but we unexpectedly ran into him falling into the river and fainting. ”

"Oh, I see!" Lang Zhong believed it, and after a pause, he said: "Lord Wang is our parent official, who is as honest as water, so it is inevitable to offend some people." To put it mildly, Wang Daren is only a county order, can we fight those people with bigger officials? ”

"What the doctor said is reasonable, then how did my brother Wang Lun offend Gao Lishi?" Li Bai was very puzzling, because Wang Lun and Gao Lishi didn't seem to be able to fight together.

"I don't know the reason for this, but the people outside are spreading that there is light with a big tomb on that mountain." Lang Zhong told the truth.

"The Great Tomb?" Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu were stunned at the same time, and then Yuan Danqiu asked, "What kind of tomb?" ”

"It's a bit mysterious!" Lang Zhong said: "That mountain is ten miles away from this, it is called Tiangang Mountain, and it is said that Yuan Tiangang lived here in the past, so it is called Tiangang Mountain." ”

Lang Zhong paused, and then continued, saying: "This mountain is very big, and for some reason, Gao Lishi suddenly secretly came with a man. ”

"Is it because there's a tomb in there?" Li Bai: "Whose tomb is that?" ”

"It's because there's a tomb inside!" Lang Zhong: "But I don't know whose tomb it is, and no one seems to know, only that Gao Lishi has been digging day and night since he brought people, and I don't know what he's digging." ”

"This Tiangang Mountain can be regarded as a sacred mountain for us, and it is rumored that Yuan Tiangang did a spell here back then, which can bless the surrounding people with good weather and so on." Lang Zhong didn't seem to believe in these legends, but he continued to talk about it, saying: "At first, no one among the people knew that it was Gao Lishi who dug the mountain, so they told Lord Wang about it, and then Lord Wang took people to see it, and arrested everyone who was present at the time and put them in prison. ”

Hearing this, Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu couldn't help but be shocked, and said in their hearts that Wang Lun was really in trouble this time. After a pause, Li Bai asked again: "Then what?" I heard Brother Wang Lun say that he later went to the capital to petition? The result? ”

"Alas, Lord Wang, he is too honest and upright!" Lang Zhong said regretfully: "We all persuaded Lord Wang not to go at that time, and we just endured it and passed, but Lord Wang had to go for us." As a result, there was no news, and we all sent people to investigate, but there was no clue. There are rumors that after Lord Wang went to the capital, he was imprisoned in the prison by Gao Lishi, and no one can say whether it is true or not. It wasn't until a few days ago that Wang Da returned to our Jing County, saying that he would escort a batch of military salaries to the border pass. ”

"And what about later?" Li Bai couldn't wait to know the answer, and then return Wang Lun's innocence.

"Didn't that happen two days ago?" Lang Zhong said: "We all believe that Lord Wang is innocent, Lord Wang is a family for our people, and he has always been worried about the country and the people, how can he have the idea of military salary?" This is something sent to the border, who dares to offend? ”

"Alas!" Li Bai looked at the unconscious Wang Lun and said, "Brother Wang Lun, I've made you suffer!" Don't worry, we will clear your grievances. ”

"Childe Mo said that he was laughing!" Lang Zhong poured a basin of cold water on his head and said: "Gao Lishi is one person under ten thousand people, if you offend him, how can you clear up your grievances?" Now there are rumors spreading everywhere outside, saying that Lord Wang is all kinds of bad. The people of Jing County all know that this is all deliberately spread by Gao Lishi, and it won't be long before the black becomes white. ”

"This ......" the more Li Bai thought about it, the more angry he became: "Isn't there no way to let him be lawless?" ”

"What's the other way?" Lang Zhong: "Now in the eyes of outsiders, Lord Wang's life and death are uncertain, and the government is not only looking for Lord Wang everywhere, but also arresting the people who speak for Lord Wang. In just two days, more than 100 people have been arrested. ”

"Isn't it safe to be here?" Yuan Danqiu suddenly realized a serious problem, paused, and suddenly looked at Lang Zhong and asked, "Doctor, aren't you afraid of losing your head if you harbor us like this?" ”。

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, what's the use of being afraid?" Langzhong: "Lord Wang is our parent official, and I am just a small mountain Langzhong." I won't be shocked if Jing County is gone, but if Jing County is without Lord Wang, wouldn't these wicked people outside be even more lawless? Won't it be us ordinary people who will suffer when the time comes? ”

Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu suddenly 'swooped', and they were in awe of Lang Zhong in front of them, and they had infinite admiration in their hearts. At this moment, Yuan Danqiu suddenly smiled and said, "Doctor, since you are not even afraid of losing your head, I don't know if you dare to take another risk and help us do something?" As long as this is done, then I guarantee that your Lord Wang will be able to avenge his grievances? ”
