Chapter 15 News
Twenty days later, Zhou Chen of Hanzhong Mansion first received a flying pigeon message from Yuan Biao: "Fifteen miles west of Chengdu, I found the five-pointed maple leaf left by Brother Feng!" Still pursuing clues in depth! ”
Twenty-four days later, Zhao Chenyi's flying pigeon passed to Zhou Chen: "According to Brother Biao's clues, we searched along the way, and found the mark left by Brother Feng by a river, but it seems that it has been destroyed, and my side has already divided into three ways to start searching!" ”
A month later, Chen Wansan and Liu Yingjie's flying pigeon biography arrived in Zhou Chen's hands on the same day: "All the clues were lost in the direction of Luzhou, and after a long period of investigation, it is recommended to change places or expand the scope!" ”
In the living room of the Marquis Mansion of Hanzhong Mansion, Zhou Chen, Mao Hao, and Li Xiaofeng were sitting on the chair and bowing their heads silently, and after a while, Zhou Chen sighed, put down the teacup he was holding in his hand and said: "Hey, it's not a way to go on like this, the news from the direction of Luzhou is that there is no clue at all, and recently all the Feng killing personnel have been dispatched, and the growth trend of Hongfeng's power has also decreased sharply, so it is not good for the overall situation!" ”
"Then you have to find it! At least not yet, it's not certain that my brother-in-law is dead! After Li Xiaofeng put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, he said angrily: "You can't even find my brother-in-law's whereabouts because of such a trivial matter, right?" ”
"Xiaofeng, don't get excited, didn't the second brother say that he wouldn't look for it!" Mao Hao persuaded Xiaofeng in a low voice on the side: "Actually, what the second brother said is right, in the past month, it seems that the Leopard Gate of Si Vacant De has been active in Hanzhong Mansion again, but now our Feng Kill and Red Maple have been sent out, and the source of information is very limited!" ”
"That's not going to work either! No matter what, you can't just stop looking! Li Xiaofeng twisted his head to the side and said with a choked breath.
"So be it! Let's stop arguing, Brother Feng is important, and the overall situation is also important! And seeing that the sister-in-law is about to give birth, the stability of Hanzhong Mansion is now the most important thing! Zhou Chen pondered for a while before he said to the two: "Let Yuan Biao come back with Zhao Chenyi, Lao Chen will continue to take Liu Yingjie to search in the Luzhou area, and all the Hongfeng personnel will stay to assist Chen Wansan!" At present, this is the only way to minimize losses! ”
After Zhou Chen's words were finished, Li Xiaofeng still tilted his head and did not reply, Mao Hao looked at the emotions of the two of them, shook his head and sighed: "Hey, they are all their own people, there is no need to make trouble!" Second brother, I'm going to arrange the letter, and I'll go back to the barracks directly when I'm done, and I'm very busy these days! After finishing speaking, he greeted Li Xiaofeng and said goodbye: "Xiaofeng, I'll go back to the barracks first, take good care of my sister-in-law!" I'll be coming back often lately! ”
On this day, in the living room of Zhao Mansion in Mianshui County, Luzhou, Jiannan Province, Lin Feng was carrying a burden and taking Xiaoqi to say goodbye to Zhang Xiao.
"Xiao Feng, in fact, you can live and raise your health for a while! And you, Xiaoqi, your brother's body hasn't fully recovered yet, how dangerous it is for the two of you to go on the road now! Zhang Xiao took Xiao Qi's hand, and persuaded them with a little moist eyes.
Lin Feng sat with Erlang's legs crossed, a cigarette in his mouth, and said to Zhang Xiao nonchalantly: "It's okay sister!" When we go back safely to report the letter, I'll come back to see you and my brother-in-law when I'm free!" It's been so long, I have to go back and report my safety first, you say yes! ”
"Alas! yes! Zhang Xiao sighed, pulled Xiao Qi, hugged her into his arms and said gently: "Xiao Qi, if you have time in the future, you must come to my sister to play!" If you're gone, my sister will miss you! ”
"Uh-huh, sister! Don't worry, I'll definitely come to see you and my brother-in-law if I have time! Saying that, Xiao Qi raised her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for Zhang Xiao and comforted: "Don't cry, sister, if you cry again, Xiao Qi will be made to cry by you!" ”
"Mmmm, sister don't cry! Xiao Qi is also well-behaved! Saying that, Zhang Xiao also wiped away his tears and smiled at them: "Then in this case, I won't keep you, when your brother-in-law comes back, let's have lunch together, and then you can leave!" Anyway, you take the waterway, just get on the boat at night! ”
Lin Feng nodded, threw the cigarette butt in his hand and responded, "Okay, listen to you, sister!" After speaking, he picked up the tea on the side and drank it.
At this time, the butler of the Zhao Mansion broke in and shouted, "Madam, madam, hurry up and run through the back door!" ”
Seeing this posture, Zhang Xiao pushed Xiao Qi away and stood up and asked, "What's wrong?" What's going on so panicked? Seeing this, Lin Feng put down the cup and casually pulled out the fish intestines and lifted them in his hand, and also looked at the housekeeper with doubts.
"Mountain, the bandits have entered the city!" The butler gasped and stammered: "Master, the master is leading people to block it in the west of the city, just now I sent someone to inform you to escape first!" ”
"How so? How can hundreds of bandits enter the city? Zhang Xiao was still standing in place, without any panic.
"The old man only sent the soldiers to Luzhou two days ago, but I didn't expect the bandits to get the news in three seconds, and just now they suddenly took all the bandits into the city! Now the lord is leading the remaining 100 soldiers to defend the city and the officials of the various yamen to resist! Send someone to tell us to get out of here and hide! The butler replied with a panicked face, and looked back at the situation outside the door from time to time.
Lin Feng hurriedly walked to Zhang Xiao and Xiao Qi and said, "Sister, you take Xiao Qi first, I'll stay, I can help my brother-in-law!" ”
Zhang Xiao looked at Lin Feng with an anxious face at this time and asked, "Xiao Feng, what should I do now?" There aren't many soldiers left in the city! We should ... ”
"It's okay, don't worry! You just take care of Xiao Qi! Lin Feng interrupted Zhang Xiao's words, then turned his head to look at the housekeeper and asked, "Chengxi, right?" Hurry up and take my sisters and them to hide, and I'll go to the west of the city to have a look! ”
After finishing speaking, Lin Feng turned around and touched Xiao Qi's head and said, "Xiao Qi, follow my sister through the back door, I'll go see my brother-in-law, and I'll look for you later!" Then he nodded heavily to Zhang Xiao: "Don't worry, sister, you are optimistic about Xiaoqi, I will help my brother-in-law!" After saying that, without waiting for the two to reply, he ran out of the living room quickly.
When he was at the gate of the mansion, Lin Feng also saw a few wounded soldiers, just glanced at a few people, and then got on a horse, slapped the horse's buttocks hard, and ran in the direction of the west of the city.
