"Take care."

"Be careful all the way, see you at SITC Wharf."

"See you at SITC Pier."

The mountain road diverged, Zhao Lie, Ma Nanchun and his entourage exchanged treasures with Ouyang Guanhou and parted ways.

Since the Yuan army was setting up a card search at this time, it was not appropriate for many people to act together, so as not to make the target too large. In addition, Ouyang Guanhou has to gather the members of the Dark Claw hidden everywhere along the way, which involves organizational secrets, and it is not appropriate for outsiders to be on his side. So Zhao Lie and the others plus the guide were a group of seven people, and Ouyang Guanhou and his dark claw members were a group, and they walked in two ways, and then converged at Haifeng Wharf.

"Ouyang Dingjun is also a real hero." Ma Nanchun looked at the backs of those who were far away and sighed, "If he arrives a day early, he is definitely qualified to sit in the first place." ”

Zhao Lie looked at Ma Nanchun: "Zhong Ping also knows this person's deeds?" ”

Ma Nanchun nodded: "Some have known before, and some have only known recently." ”

"Tell me about it." Zhao Lie is about to join forces with this person to rescue, so naturally the more you know, the better.

"He was the right-hand man of the Loyal Prince...... Zhongjie's official name is Chen Jizhou, Jiaxi four years (1240) raised people, tried to administer Lianzhou, and later served as the prefect of Hengyang and Jiangdong to mention the prison, but did not arrive. Wen Shaobao Zhao Qin Wang, Shizhong Festival Apartment Gan, Shaobao came to the door to ask for a plan. Zhongjie Gong elaborated on the heroes of Luli and the strategy of raising troops, and then stayed in the curtain. After Shaobao went to Lin'an, Zhongjie Gong led his second son Chen Yu and 23 Gan Yishi to follow, and Ouyang Dingjun was the head of the 23 righteous soldiers. To Beijing (Lin'an), Zhongjie Gongchong Jiangsu and Zhejiang Preparation Division was in charge of Jiyi, Ouyang Dingjun and other 23 righteous soldiers attacked the Yuan soldiers at Nanzha Gate many times, killing many enemies. After the young security envoy to the north camp, there was a decree to dismiss the soldiers. The father and son of Zhongjie led the people back, and Gan has been lost. Zhongjie Gong ambushed his troops in Longpan, recruited Youyong, and waited to kill the enemy...... The above are all old things, and the government and the opposition have heard a little. ”

Zhao Lie raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and praised repeatedly: "Sure enough, he is a real hero and a good man." By the way, he must not have been a member of the Crows and the leader of the Darkclaws at that time, right? ”

Ma Nanchun shook his head: "No...... In the first year of Jingyan, Duanzong ascended the throne and awarded the loyalty festival to the Nan'an Army, but he was unexpectedly hunted and killed by the governor of Ganzhou of the Yuan Army. After hearing about the incident, the imperial court posthumously presented the Fuwen Pavilion to be systematized, and the temple was built in Ganzhou. After the death of Zhongjie, Ouyang Dingjun led the remaining thirteen righteous soldiers to join his uncle Mr. Lu Zhai, and became one of the leaders of the black crows and the leader of the dark claws. ”

"I see, it's a pity...... In Zhongping's opinion, is this person trustworthy enough? ”

Ma Nanchun did not answer directly, and continued: "Shaobao Wupoling was defeated and was held by the enemy, and his subordinates were killed or captured, including Chen Yu, the second son of Zhongjiegong. When Ouyang Dingjun heard this, he asked Mr. Ritsu Zhai for his life and risked his life to rescue him. After successfully infiltrating the enemy camp in Chaoyang, he learned that Chen Yu's son had been tortured to death a few days ago...... Although the rescue was not successful, he found out the confidential news that Shao Bao was released, and accidentally found that Liu Zili invited Fang Yulong, Ye Xiurong, and Zhang Wenxiu to a banquet ......"

"Loyalty, righteousness, and skill, enough to be trusted." There is no need to say more, Zhao Lie is very fortunate to have such a figure to help, and this rescue operation is a little more certain.

"Brother Xian, can you give the bottom line, how sure are you of this trip?"

Hearing Ma Nanchun ask, Zhao Liebao smiled bitterly: "Before I saw the specific situation, I really couldn't say anything, so I could only do my best." ”

Ma Nanchun looked worried: "There are six of us, plus about ten people in Ouyang Dingjun's dark claw, the total is only twenty. Even if you are lucky enough to find Wen Shaobao's detention place, how can you safely escort Shaobao out of danger among thousands of troops? ”

Zhao Lie patted Ma Nanchun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's useless to think too much, let's follow the four-character policy." ”

"What...... Four-word policy? ”

"Improvisation."

……

The sun shadow is slanting to the west, and Zhao Hunt and his party of seven people and a big green mule are struggling to walk among the bushes composed of masson pine, gang pine, partridge grass, etc. In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Yuan army, they could only go to the sparsely populated deep mountains and dense forests, cutting through thorns and thorns along the way, and walked for almost a whole day before crossing two mountains.

"It's coming." The middle-aged guide with a beard called Bao Si wiped his face, didn't care about the pickling pain after the scratches on his face and was soaked in sweat, inserted the firewood knife back into his waist, took off the gourd and pulled the plug and poured a few big mouthfuls on his neck, and sighed long, "Although we walk slowly, the line is straight, rest for one night tonight, get up early tomorrow, and strive to cross three more mountains to get out of Lotus Mountain." ”

Zhao Lie reminded: "We must rush to the Haifeng Wharf the day after tomorrow, and we won't make a mistake, right?" ”

Bao Siyi patted his chest: "Don't worry, Zhao Ye, you can't make a mistake." If I really make a mistake, General Jiang will not spare me. ”

Zhao Lie looked at the sky: "Okay, take advantage of the fact that it's not dark, take another trip and find a suitable place to sleep." Are there any old trees in the area, or rocks near the water source? ”

Bao Si thought for a while and said, "There is a Yongji Temple not far from here, and there are not many small monks in the temple, but you can spend the night......"

Before he finished speaking, he was vetoed by Zhao Lie: "No, we can't hide it." Sleeping on the road, that's it. ”

Shi Yang, who was exploring the path in front of him, suddenly bowed down and raised his fist with his arms bent, which was a gesture with a situation.

The movements of Zhao Lie, Ma Nanchun, the Ding family sisters and brothers, and Wang Ping'an were immediately frozen, remaining as they were, motionless.

Bao Si is also alert, and when he saw this, he immediately fell silent, and subconsciously wanted to step forward to see the situation. As soon as the foot was raised, he was suddenly stepped on by a big foot, and he was about to open his mouth to scream in pain, but he was strangled by one arm around his neck, and his face was so red in a blink of an eye that he couldn't even make a gurgling sound.

After about half a minute, Shi Yang opened his five fingers and dismissed the police.

As soon as Zhao Lie's arm loosened, Bao Si fell down, rolled his eyes, and gasped for breath in his throat for a long time.

At this time, Zhao Lie had already found out the situation and turned back: "Two people, wearing the clothes of the new attached army, went east. Shi Yang followed a paragraph, and he would come back without any circumstances. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Bao Si staggered and glared at Zhao Lie, "You, ahem...... Almost killed me. ”

Zhao Lie apologized: "Offended." The enemy is outnumbered, and in danger, I have to be 120,000 careful. ”

Bao Si wanted to say something but couldn't say it, so he could only gasp and breathe.

The bushes were moving, and Shi Yang paddled the grass and appeared: "There is a discovery." ”

"What?" Several people gathered around.

"Those two are the tide thieves."

Ma Nanchun was taken aback: "Chen Yi is nearby!" ”

Zhao Lie immediately decided: "Go, follow." ”

It was getting dark, and walking the mountain road without lighting torches at night was no different from suicide, and they had to sleep in the open. At this moment, I heard that there was a terrible group of bandits who were also nearby, who could sleep without figuring out the situation?

So the two bandits were in front, and Zhao Lie and his party were behind, hanging from afar. About half an hour later, when it was dark, the two bandits came to a halt in front of a somewhat dilapidated looking building.

After a few rhythmic knocks, the door creaked open and a head poked out. The two sides seemed to say a few words, and the two doors opened to the sides, and one stood in front of the door with a torch, beckoning the two bandits to enter.

Zhao Lie stretched out his hand to Ding Xiaoyi to ask for the scope, squinted and looked carefully, in the lens, under the reflection of the hunting torch, the three big characters on the door plaque of the building were particularly eye-catching:

Yongji Temple.
