Unexpectedly, with a target brother in his arms, Lu Fang temporarily saved his life, so it was time to think about how to fight back! As soon as he saw that the enemy was in turmoil, he knew that the opportunity was fleeting, and he planned to flee immediately; However, he looked back along the firelight, and saw that the person who was rapidly harvesting his life in the crowd turned out to be the thin man who had just saved his life in the back alley!

may be due to concealment considerations; It may also be because the manpower of the Confucian prefect is really stretched; Therefore, there are not many ambushes hidden on the road of the west city wall tonight, and there may not be no chance of victory. Lu Fang saw that there was a benefactor to help him at this time, so he completely dispelled the idea of escaping; He lifted the "Battlement Brother" in his arms into the air and threw it at the crossbowmen; Immediately, the gold-handled plum blossom knife at his waist came out of its sheath and converged with the friend he had just met!

Under the front and back attacks of the two masters, except for the leading fat man, the small ambush army of less than thirty people on the battlements was slaughtered by the two of them. And Lu Fang, who was in a conscious state for the first time, started to kill, only to feel that the stuffy breath in his chest was also taken away by the strong fishy smell, and even his breathing began to become smoother.

He shook off the beads of blood and minced flesh that hung on the tip of the knife, and stepped forward with a look of approval and patted the thin man on the shoulder:

"Brother, your martial arts are good, counting this time, I owe you two lives! In Xialufang, the people of Yanjing City dare to ask Engongzun's surname? “

The other party flashed a pair of bright eyes, pointed to his mouth and ears, and shook his head at him with a smile. Then he pulled the survivor and stabbed the fat leader in the neck with a sword lightly, and then dipped his fingers in the warm blood splattered from the other man's neck, and wrote a very childish font on the floor of the corridor one by one:

"The box will be handed over to Shen Gui, and it will be cleared twice."

After he finished writing, he tilted his head and thought about it again, and after comparing two fingers towards Lu Fang, he wrote three more small words on another open space:

"Beat Qi Yan."

After he finished writing, he withdrew the black dagger from the fat man's neck, grinned at Lu Fang again, and then flew down the battlements and rushed back in the direction of the front street of the mansion!

Lu Fang picked up a rectangular wooden box left by this person on the ground, carefully put it away in his arms, and said to the fat man who was lying on the ground with his neck covered and convulsed:

"My dumb brother's skills are quite passable, right?"

After finishing speaking, he reviewed the "blood book" on the ground again, and muttered in his mouth, "Who is Shen Gui and who is Qi Yan?" He dragged the fat man who was struggling to breathe, and pulled away his big hand that was covering his wound, drowning the handwriting with his gushing blood; Immediately, he looked back and glanced deeply in the direction of the mansion, and quickly fled out of the city!

The golden knife catches the head is a profession that deals with the people of the rivers and lakes. It is true that he Lu Fang is a novice, but he is also an old man who has followed his teacher for nearly twenty years; Even though he is not a master of the rivers and lakes like Shen Gui, he can at least touch the temple gate of the rivers and lakes. After Lu Fang left Xilin City, he quickly went north, and ran all the way for nearly 200 miles, only then did he meet a group of high-ranking officials who had returned to the north.

This group of dart masters from the Yanjing City Zhengyan Gate outside the Sitong Dart Bureau, the old dart master is named Tan Yong, the people of the rivers and lakes are called the first line of throat, because he was in the early years of the rivers and lakes, a big gun in his hand picked the enemy's throat and got the name; Needless to say, this old dart master's skills are pure, and he can open a dart shop in this prime location outside Zhengyan Gate, and he is naturally a person who understands all sides.

Because of their southern route, it is a way of life for the four darts line; So this time it was personally led by the old dart owner Tan Yong. Tan Dart is a scene person, and he has also had a few encounters with Lu Fang's father, and he has personally inspected the jade plate and golden knife given by His Majesty, and there is no doubt about him, so he let Lu Fang return to Beijing with the team.

However, when the team of the Sitong Dart Bureau came to the outside of Ender City, the executioner in charge of the pathfinder brought back bad news. Lord Yan, the prefect of Ande City, didn't know which evil style he was smoking today, so he suddenly stepped up his efforts to enter the city for investigation; At present, the people and caravans who are waiting to be searched have already discharged a human dragon ten miles away!

Others didn't understand, but Lu Fang knew the reason very well in his heart. Seeing that he couldn't get through the tricks, Lu Fang had to selectively reveal his current embarrassing situation.

All the high-ranking officials who ate in the Northern Yan Dynasty and crossed the state must show the road guide issued by the government and hand in their weapons; How many people and how many weapons are written on this road, that is, the number of deaths, one cannot be more, one cannot be less, and even the style of weapons must not be wrong. Not to mention that Ludong Road, which has been monolithic for thousands of years, is searching today in order to take him Lu Fang; The golden-handled knife given by the emperor alone can't hide the eyes of those who have a heart.

Because Lu Fang had something to hide, although the old dart owner Tan Yong had the heart to help, he was really powerless; Of course, even if Lu Fang wanted to talk to him, he didn't want to hear it at all. So after some discussion, everyone was at the north gate of Ludong Road - Ande City, and the soldiers were divided into two ways: the old dart master Tan Yong took his dart team and a secret performance from Lu Fang, and lined up to enter the city in a big way; And Lu Fang left Ande City, which was only one step away from Jizhou, and embarked on the road back.

In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Fang found a senior in the rivers and lakes introduced to him by Tan Yong in a land temple outside Jishui City. This man was an old beggar in his fifties, and he had a name that I didn't know was true or false - Jiasan. All the people in the rivers and lakes who are small characters usually call him the third master. This person is the head of the Huazimen on the entire Ludong Road, and all the civil and military beggars who poke the pole to ask for food and slap their heads to wipe the chicken blood are all at his disposal.

After Lu Fang explained his intentions, the third master of Jia falsely deceived this broad son for three hundred taels of silver, and only then did he formulate an escape route that could evade pursuit; And with the face of his father Lao Lu catching the head and the old dart head, the third master also gave this catcher an additional news:

Shen Gui and Qi Yan will soon enter the territory of Ludong Road.

After hearing Lu Fang finish talking about the experience along the way, Shen Gui and his party immediately fell into a suffocating silence. After a long time, Shen Gui raised a pair of blood-red eyes and asked him solemnly:

"Lu catches quickly, Fu remembers him...... Was it really killed? Did you really see it with your own eyes? Do you recognize him? Could it be misremembered? ”

He was full of questions about the possibilities, and no one echoed him. Lu Fang didn't know what to say, so he could only pat his trembling hands, take out a wooden box from his baggage, and gently push it in front of Shen Gui.

"What about Fourteen? It's the deaf man who saved you on the battlements! You said that he killed back to Xilin Mansion, is it possible that he is still alive? At least you didn't see him die, did you? ”

From these words, Lu Fang also felt Shen Gui's extremely sad mood; After being silent for a long time, he still said in a low voice:

"Third Master A mentioned to me that the fourteenth brothers avenged Governor Fu. He stabbed the Governor of Kong to death in front of the fire in front of the public on the street in front of the palace...... However, Eun Gong did not escape the rain of arrows that followed...... His body was taken as ironclad evidence by the successor Governor Kong as an ironclad evidence of the robbery of the Northern Yan comrades, and was being transported to the Yamen of the Criminal Department of Yanjing City under the escort of 200 city guards......"

Shen Gui was silent for a quarter of an hour after hearing this, but said dryly and hoarsely, "I'm a little tired", then waved his hand and lay down on the bed in the guest room.

They had left the room in amusement, and no sooner had they closed the door than a terrible howl rang out from the room; The voice was like a dying beast or a lonely ghost with nowhere to redress, but it was not like it came from the throat of man; The voice sounded neither crying nor laughing, nor did it utter any meaningful words, just a simple roar; But even so, he shouted everyone's tears together, even Lu Fanglu, who had a shallow relationship with this cadre, had tears in his eyes.

Such a noisy and noisy sound also startled the innkeeper and his fellows. Li Le'an hurriedly wiped away his tears and went to deal with it, but the sound in the room stopped abruptly at this time. Yan Shuqing gently opened a crack in the door, and found that Shen Gui's back lying on the bed was still twitching, turned around and gave everyone a reassuring look, and closed the door again.

Shen Gui lay down until the sun set. After waking up, he first went to Li Le'an and Yan Shuqing's room. Gently pushing open a crack in the door, he saw that Li Le'an was already asleep at the desk; And Yan Shuqing also sat in front of the window with his hands on his cheeks, looking at the moon outside the window in a daze, so he cautiously left the door.

He tightened the two sharp blades on his waist and cuffs again, and quietly called out the golden knife to catch the head Lu Fang, and the two of them left this Tancheng unknowingly, all the way to the north

In the early morning of the next day, the Qi family and his wife, who went to the market in advance to buy dry food and a carriage, only found a letter in Shen Gui's room. In fact, if it is a letter, it is not appropriate, after all, there are only four big characters written on the back of the whole blank paper: return to Youbei quickly.

Zigge was shocked into a cold sweat by these four powerful characters, and he quickly rushed out of the door, banging on the door of each room. After carefully counting the number of people, it was found that there were three missing people in the group: Shen Gui, Lu Fang, and Qi Yan, who slept on the beam of the house every day.

The gossip and speculation of everyone finally ended completely because of Li Le'an's sonorous and powerful three words - back to Youbei.

After some disguise, they quickly left the ground of Tancheng. But the carriage had only been out for less than ten miles when it was blocked by a group of beggars of different heights and ragged clothes. As soon as the carriage stopped, an old beggar in his fifties walked out of the crowd: he held a large porcelain bowl with broken edges and ballast in his left hand, and a broken wooden stick in his right hand, and said to Zigqi, who was holding the carriage, tremblingly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I haven't eaten a mouthful of food for a few days, and I'm about to starve to death! If you have a copper plate, you will be rewarded, and if you don't have a copper plate, you will be rewarded with a few pieces of dry food......"
