Chapter 40: The Journey of the Guest

Wang Ran led the Li brothers and sisters to the inner room, and the three of them sat around the table.

Wang Ran was the first to speak: "That day, I listened to the guards of the Bomai Division, you assassinated the envoy Qi Yuanzhen? ”

"We did sneak into the backyard of the Bomai secretary on the night of Chongyang, but ......" Li Zongyu looked a little embarrassed.

"Lost, aren't you?" Wang Ran said with a smile.

"How do you know? Have you been in there too? Li Jin'er wondered.

"I also hid inside that day, and I had already sneaked into the Peony Garden where Qi Yuanzhen lived, if you hadn't alerted the guards, maybe Qi Yuanzhen would have died."

The Li brothers and sisters were surprised, and then seemed to be a little embarrassed, Wang Ran smiled helplessly, and continued: "But it is also possible that I lost my life, so I really don't know if I blame you or thank you." ”

Li Jin'er hurriedly said: "Yes, with your skills, you will be sent to death for nothing, and what we want is a living Qi Yuanzhen, he can't die yet." ”

Wang Ran threw her eyes away, and then wondered, "What do you want him to do?" And don't you ask me why I assassinated Qi Yuanzhen? ”

"Qi Yuanzhen has a grudge against you, Li Shun told us, and he also specially asked us to take care of you." Li Jin'er said coolly: "Now that we are two big masters, you are familiar with the situation in the office, and you want to take Qi Yuanzhen's house like a bag!" ”

"Qi Yuanzhen is the important subordinate of the enemy you are talking about? And who is Lord Wang? Wang Ran remembered that when he first met the Li brothers and sisters, they said that they entered Shu to seek revenge, but they failed to succeed, and chased the enemy's subordinates to Qingcheng County.

The Li brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and Li Zongyu said: "That person's name is Wang Jien, and he has a grudge against us to kill the teacher, and Qi Yuanzhen is his sit-down lackey." ”

Li Zongyu was silent for a while, then sighed and explained the reason.

The master of the Li brothers and sisters is named Yang Chongjin, who was originally a disciple of the Kongtong faction, and then went down the mountain to join the army, because of his strong martial arts, he was soon promoted to the guard under the account of Guo Wei, Taizu Emperor in Chen Qiaoyi, and was appointed as the direct capital of the inner hall, and then moved to Gaoyang Pass for deployment.

That Wang Jien was originally a eunuch in the palace, and he had the merit of following the dragon when he was in today's holy palace, so he was favored. In the first year of Duangong, he was awarded the Yizhou regiment training envoy, and he was under the jurisdiction of Zhen, Ding, and Gaoyang Pass, but he was greedy and tyrannical, and Yang Chongjin was still on duty in the palace when he was very disdainful.

In the second year of Duangong, the Liao State took advantage of the victory of the first battle of the Junziguan to constantly attack and harass the Song Realm, and when it reached Gaoyang Pass, Yang Chongjin suggested that the city should be defended, but Wang Jien insisted on sending him out of the city to meet the enemy, Yang Chongjin had to lead the troops to attack, and he was finally defeated by the Liao army. Yang Chongjin wanted to withdraw to the city, but Wang Jien refused to open the door, so he had no choice but to continue fighting, and finally died of exhaustion after stabbing hundreds of Liao troops.

Yang Chongjin has no children, only the two apprentices of the Li brother and sister, and treats them as if they were his own children. The two knew that the master was killed by Wang Jien, so they practiced martial arts hard, vowing to avenge the master, until they felt that their kung fu had been accomplished, and began to plan to assassinate. But Wang Jien has many guards around him and often lives in the military camp, so the two have never found a suitable opportunity.

It wasn't until April that they found out that Wang Jien had left the prison with only a personal guard, so they quietly followed. They followed Wang Jien all the way west into Shu and then arrived at Yongkang County, Wang Jien seemed to have done something in Yongkang County, but they were afraid of scaring the snake on the road and did not dare to get too close, and when they arrived, they only saw Wang Jien and the county commander Qi Yuanzhen drinking and having fun, and took Qi Yuanzhen a lot of filial piety, and then returned.

They kept up with each other until Jianmen finally found an opportunity, but they didn't expect Wang Jien's guards to be good at work, and the cooperation was even more tacit, not only did they fail to succeed, but Li Zongyu was also injured.

The two of them hurriedly went on the road, and there was not much entanglement on their bodies, which was not enough to treat Li Zongyu's injuries, so they had to come to Chengdu Mansion to join relatives and friends. During the period of recuperation, I heard that Qi Yuanzhen, the county commander of Yongshou County, was promoted to the envoy of Xichuan Lubo Buyers, and felt that there was something strange about this matter, so they asked someone to inquire, and sure enough, they found out that Qi Yuanzhen's backer was Wang Jien, so they wanted to start with Qi Yuanzhen, so there was a later matter.

"Did Wang Jien arrive in Hengqu Town, Yongkang County around the first day of May? What does he look like? Wang Ran said a little excitedly.

"Yes, he did arrive in Hengqu Town around the first day of the fifth month. He should be close to the age of six, but he doesn't look so old, his face is white, and he wears a purple robe. Have you seen him? Could it be that the thing he went to Yongshou County to do has something to do with you? Li Zongyu wondered.

Yes, the old man in the robe who was with Qi Yuanzhen that day must be Wang Jien, Wang Ran nodded slowly, and said astringently: "On the night of the first day of the fifth lunar month, Qi Yuanzhen and Wang Jien led people to raid my house, my master and sister were killed, and only I escaped. ”

After a period of silence, Li Jin'er said softly: "What kind of grudge does your family have with Wang Jien and Qi Yuanzhen?" ”

"I don't know, I've lived with my master and sister in the mountains for as long as I can remember, and I never met them before that accident, and I didn't hear their names." Wang Ran said powerlessly.

"Since that's the case, then go with us to tie up Qi Yuanzhen, and naturally you will be able to know the truth, and then use him to lure out Wang Jien's hand, and the revenge will have to be avenged." Li Zongyu saw that Wang Ran was stunned, so he spoke out to enlighten him.

"Yes, there is revenge, blood is washed with blood, it's not good to know who the enemy is? The happy enmity and enmity are the actions of my generation, what are you frustrating! Li Jin'er said impatiently, looking angry.

Li Zongyu pursed his lips, and said in his heart that after the master was killed, who was the one who washed his face with tears every day?

Wang Ran took a deep breath, yes, isn't it good to know who the enemy is, isn't this getting closer and closer to the truth, the great revenge is about to be avenged, why bother to be sad, twilight!

Li Jin'er saw that Wang Ran's eyes had regained their brightness, and somehow her mood improved, and she couldn't help but groan:

"The day is empty, and youth will not come again."

Wang Ran also raised his head, and continued in high spirits: "Take revenge and rush to the snow, and take the drunken arm eagle back." ”

"Hey, let's get down to business, you two are normal!" Li Zongyu unceremoniously interrupted the pride of the two.

Wang Ran scratched his head embarrassedly and said embarrassedly: "Then when is it more appropriate for us to do it?" ”

"You're more familiar with the situation, of course it's you who decides the timing, and we'll take care of it." Li Zongyu said.

Wang Ran couldn't help but be a little moved when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, he said his thoughts, and the Li brothers and sisters couldn't help nodding their heads, looking eager to try.

The sunlight poured in through the window, reflecting the sparkle in their eyes, and the three young faces lined with more vigor and fighting spirit.
