Chapter 165: Interception on a Moonlit Night
Feiyan exclaimed, "Young Master, you're injured!" ”
Meng Tianchu felt the pain in his back and shoulder blades, and turned his head to try to see the injury, but he couldn't see the injury in his back.
Xia Fengyi hurriedly came over to check, only to see that the clothes made of the thick sail on Meng Tianchu's left shoulder blade had been torn, and the two blood groove-like wounds were dripping with blood, staining half of his body red.
It turned out that the eagle threw down the boulder and smashed it on the side of the boat, and the huge waves that stirred up almost overturned the boat, Meng Tianchu pounced on Xia Fengyi and Feiyan, and when everyone was panicking, the eagle suddenly swooped out of the darkness to catch Meng Tianchu.
And Meng Tianchu knew from Xia Fengyi and Feiyan's screams and terrifying eyes that the eagle was coming, and at the moment when the eagle's claws were about to catch Meng Tianchu, he stabbed the eagle's chest with a backhand sword, although the sword that pierced the eagle's body blocked the eagle's sharp grasp, but the eagle's claws still scratched Meng Tianchu's back, and the eagle was seriously injured and flew away, while grabbing Zhang Yilei who was tied up next to him. In the end, he was seriously injured and fell into the sea, and the eagle drowned at the bottom of the sea with Zhang Yilei.
Meng Tianchu took off his clothes and asked Xia Fengyi to rinse the wound with fresh water, Xiao Zhenpeng and Caiqing worms both had injuries, and the fans of Dongchang were all good wounds, took them out and put them on Meng Tianchu, and tore strips of cloth from Wang Jinhua's clothes to bandage the wounds, the effect of this wound was very good, and the bleeding stopped after being put on the wounds, and the pain was greatly reduced.
At this moment, the sun has risen, and after a life-and-death battle, everything is finally calm.
Xiao Zhenpeng pointed to the corpses of Yu Xinlong and Wang Jinhua on the boat: "Lord Meng, what should I do with this corpse, it's still hot today, if you have to wait for the shore." I'm afraid it will rot and stink, and it's not good to smoke the two grandmothers. ”
Meng Tianchu nodded: "Let them rest in peace on this sea." ”
Xiao Zhenpeng and Caiqing Worm agreed, first kicked and spat a few times on Wang Jinhua's corpse, and then threw the corpse into the sea.
Yu Xinlong can be said to have saved their lives, and has the heart to bury him well, but there is no other sacrifice on the ship, so the body can only be tidied up, and after everyone prays, carefully put the body into the sea.
After seven days at sea. This afternoon, I finally saw the land!
The crowd cheered. Harder rowed to the shore, when I went ashore. It was already evening. After asking the fishermen on the beach, I found out that they had drifted to the boundary of Fujian!
The group came to the nearest county yamen, when they went to the sea to play, Meng Tianchu did not bring his waist card, put it at home, and then Xiao Zhenpeng showed the waist card of the head of the East Factory, and the people from the East Factory came. How dare the county lord slack off. Hurriedly ordered a banquet to be set up, and the county lord waited to see Meng Tianchu's appearance clearly. After listening to Xiao Zhenpeng's introduction again, he was taken aback, and hurriedly returned to the back hall to bring an official document. Both hands were handed to Meng Tianchu.
Meng Tianchu looked at it, but it was an urgent official letter from the East Factory, saying that the Hangzhou foreman of the East Factory was wrecked on official business, and those who knew his whereabouts reported to the East Factory quickly, with a portrait of Meng Tianchu attached to it, not to mention, the painting was really like.
Meng Tianchu thought to himself: So, Dongchang is looking for himself nationwide? Hehe, I can't see it, my little Hangzhou foreman is quite taken seriously, and he searched for it all over the country after he disappeared.
After learning the news, everyone did not dare to delay, hurriedly ate dinner, and rushed to Fuzhou Mansion in Fujian Province with a four-hundred-mile rush from the county yayi post station overnight.
After arriving at Fuzhou Mansion, he found the Dongchang Office and said his identity, and the Fuzhou foreman of the Dongchang Department hurriedly greeted him, but he was not polite, and the Su foreman hurriedly took out a secret letter, but it was the place where the Dongchang Department was in charge of the second Bingbi eunuch in front of the emperor, and sent it to the Dongchang Office in various coastal areas, saying that once Meng Tianchu was found, he would immediately escort him to the capital with 800 miles to expedite it.
When Meng Tianchu looked at it, he realized that it was the hot spring that was looking for him, and patted his head, only then did he remember that he had been missing for more than a month, and the heroin in the hot spring had probably run out, and he was addicted to drugs, which was worse than death, and of course he was anxious to find himself.
Eight hundred miles from Fuzhou to the capital in an urgent way! Meng Tianchu's head was big when he thought about it, but he didn't dare to disobey the military order, besides, if the hot spring was going to die of drug addiction, he would definitely order him to be caught and executed before he died. This issue must be addressed immediately. If you want to go to the capital, you must first rush to Hangzhou and take the heroin before going, otherwise it is useless to go.
Of course, Xia Fengyi and Feiyan also had to rush back with Meng Tianchu. Meng Tianchu didn't worry about leaving them behind, and at that moment, a group of people immediately rushed to Hangzhou in an expedited way of Jinyiwei for eight hundred miles.
Eight hundred miles express is the fastest mode of transportation in the Ming Dynasty, according to the road conditions, fifty miles or one hundred miles to change horses, if it is to send a letter, it is a change of horses and people, day and night. If you are in a hurry, of course, the horse is not changed, and generally does not rest as much as possible. So, I rushed to Hangzhou in one day and one night.
After arriving in Hangzhou, Meng Tianchu thanked the boat boss heavily, the remuneration was enough for him to buy a hundred boats, the boat boss smiled, with this money, it was enough for him to live a rich and well-off life for the rest of his life, and he went back with a thousand thanks.
During this time, Cai Zhixian was almost driven crazy by Dongchang, because he had an idea to let Meng Tianchu go to the East China Sea Baixian Island to play, but something happened, for this reason, Cai Zhixian was called to the Dongchang Office for questioning in three days, and he was almost sentenced, and it took a lot of money to get over. However, he was still threatened that if his criminal master Meng Tianchu died, he would be killed.
Although Cai Zhixian didn't know Meng Tianchu's exact identity at this time, he already knew that Meng Tianchu was not an ordinary person, and it was definitely not just a son-in-law from the Ministry of Industry from the fifth grade. On the one hand, he was glad that he was not bad to Meng Tianchu before, but he was worried that Meng Tianchu would really lose his life if something happened to him. The husband and wife sighed and sighed, panicking all day long.
After Murong Zhenxue learned that Meng Tianchu had disappeared in a storm after going to sea, he washed his face with tears all day long, and sat in the yamen all day waiting for news from Meng Tianchu, and he was obviously emaciated.
Zuo Jiayin was even more anxious, and used his identity as a heavenly master to go in and out of Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the government to investigate, of course, there was no news of Meng Tianchu.
More than a month has passed, and the Dongchang fans along the coast have devoted almost all their work to finding Meng Tianchu, using Ming naval ships to search next to the island. It was only on the surface of the sea that the fragments of their smashed ships and some things were found, as well as the bodies of Fanzi and the boatmen floating on the sea, and there was never Meng Tianchu and their whereabouts.
They didn't expect that Meng Tianchu and they had already drifted to the waters of Fujian, and they were far away from the shipping route, there were thousands of such small islands in the sea, where could they find them.
Meng Tianchu's sudden appearance, these people suddenly exploded, Cai Zhixian almost knelt down to thank God for joy, Zuo Jiayin took Meng Tianchu's hand and shed tears of joy, but Murong Yuxue just stared at Meng Tianchu with tears of joy from afar.
Meng Tianchu didn't have time to talk to them. The East Factory was already busy, so Meng Tianchu rushed to the East Factory Office in the capital.
As soon as Zuo Jiayin heard that Meng Tianchu was going to rush to the capital immediately, she knew something about it. immediately asked to go with Meng Tianchu. Of course, Meng Tianchu agreed, he was worried that the onsen addiction would turn his face after knowing the harm of this heroin. With Zuo Jiayin, the heavenly master, it is easier to do.
Before going to sea last time, Meng Tianchu also cured some excess heroin, brought all of it, and asked Zuo Jiayin to bring a sufficient amount of opium, and after arriving in the capital, he refined heroin to the hot springs, and wanted to refine heroin. The treasures in your own forensic evidence investigation box are indispensable. Bring it with you, of course.
Chen Xingpeng, the secretary of Hangzhou East Factory, had already prepared the eight-hundred-mile expedited horses, and the fifteen guards who had been sent to Meng Tianchudi were buried at the bottom of the sea. This time, I rushed to the capital urgently, and I couldn't bring too many people, so I only chose five strong and clever fans with strong martial arts as guards. Escort Meng Tianchu to the capital.
Of course, Xia Fengyi and Feiyan stayed in Hangzhou, and after Meng Tianchu hurriedly said goodbye to the second daughter, he told Murong Zhenxue to handle the official duties of the Renhe County Yamen, and then took Zuo Jiayin and the five fanzi, and hurried to the capital for eight hundred miles.
This is the second time that Zuo Jiayin and the two rushed to the capital, on the way, Meng Tianchu took the time to briefly talk about this adventure, although Meng Tianchu was in front of him, but it still made Zuo Jiayin feel very afraid.
I was in a hurry along the way, and there were guards by my side, so it was inconvenient to speak, so I could only hurry.
Late at night on the second day, Meng Tianchu and others galloped all night, they were already exhausted, and there were still dozens of miles away from the next post station, Meng Tianchu didn't sleep for two consecutive nights, he couldn't stand it, but he could only insist on running forward. Boiling ++++++++++ Teng++++++++++++ members hand-played
This horseback riding can not be compared with riding a car, you can doze off in a car, and it will be miserable to doze off on a horseback, although there is a hazy moonlight, but the road is still not very clear, once the horse is empty, I don't know where it falls.
Zuo Jiayin saw that Meng Tianchu was extremely tired, and said, "Master Meng, let's rest for a while." ”
Meng Tianchu shook his head, he knew the consequences of the onset of hot spring addiction, if he let the hot spring feel the pain of life worse than death for one more day, it would increase his hatred for Meng Tianchu, once he provoked this person, then Meng Tianchu himself would be worse off than dead, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and continued to move forward.
The moon is hazy, and five horses gallop on the mountain road. Suddenly, the three guards who were opening the road in front of them suddenly lost their front hooves, and the galloping horses rolled over, throwing the three guards off their horses, and the sound of the horses neighed far away in the dark night.
Meng Tianchu was startled, and suddenly pulled the reins to restrain the horse, but unexpectedly, the horse's front feet had tripped over something, and he planted it forward, throwing Meng Tianchu out.
Because under the hazy moonlight, Meng Tianchu had already seen the guard horse in front of him lose his front hooves, and with mental preparation, this fall fell out, and immediately rolled forward, the horse was too fast, he was tripped under his feet, and he flipped a heel fight in the air and smashed towards Meng Tianchu.
Meng Tianchu heard the sound of the wind behind his head, and hurriedly rolled forward with the strength of his hand, and the horse slammed down beside him, neighing in grief.
Zuo Jiayin's horse, which was closely behind, also tripped over, but she had more time to prepare, and when the horse was tripped up, she had already done a somersault and then fell on the grass by the roadside.
The two guards after the break urgently reined in their horses, and one shouted, "Lord Meng! How are you...? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard let out a terrible scream, clutched his chest and threw himself off his horse, and immediately heard a whooshing sound, and countless sharp arrows shot in the darkness. One of the guards fell off guard by an arrow, and the other three guards hurriedly drew their swords to block the rain of arrows.
Seeing the danger, Meng Tianchu pounced sideways, pressing Zuo Jiayin under him.
Zuo Jiayin's body was pressed by Meng Tianchu, and the thick manly atmosphere made her flustered, her ears were full of the swishing sound of sharp arrows flying in the air, it was estimated that she had encountered a horse thief, I am afraid that this time it will be difficult to escape, she opened her hand and hugged Meng Tianchu, turned over to press Meng Tianchu under her, and also wanted to protect him with her body, but although her martial arts were similar to Meng Tianchu, her strength was slightly inferior, and she couldn't turn over, and hurriedly called: "Meng Ye..."
"Don't talk! As if the other side didn't want to kill us! ”
Sure enough, the place where the two of them were lying was not covered, and now the moonlight was still relatively bright, and they could be seen more clearly in the moonlight, and if they really wanted to shoot arrows at them, they were probably already shot into hedgehogs by this time. But the arrows seemed to have eyes, and they only beckoned to the three guards, but not to the two of them.
When the two were puzzled, the rain of arrows stopped, and countless figures appeared in the darkness on both sides of the road, all dressed in black, with black scarves and masks, and without saying a word, they stepped forward to surround the three guards and slash and kill them in a muffled voice. The rest of the people restrained Meng Tianchu and Zuo Jiayin, but they didn't do anything.
The three guards brought by Meng Tianchu were all first-class good hands in Hangzhou Dongchang, protecting each other, and fighting more than a dozen people on the other side, but the enemies who came were also good hands, and after the three of them killed several people on the other side, they were all killed.
Although Meng Tianchu has practiced grappling and fighting, all the swords around him are swords, just now he saw the fight in the hazy moonlight, and knew that the other party was an ancient martial arts master, even if he had a sword, he could barely make a game one-on-one, and now there are dozens of people on the other side, and he must be dead with outnumbered enemies, so he is too lazy to resist.
Fortunately, these people don't seem to want the lives of either of them, they just keep them in check, but don't hurt them or even tie them up.
After killing the three guards, these masked men did not speak, and a carriage came in the dark, escorted Meng Tianchu and Zuo Jiayin into the carriage, put Meng Tianchu's forensic physical evidence investigation box and Zuo Jiayin's box containing opium on the cart, and drove the carriage forward.
Zuo Jiayin snuggled up to Meng Tianchu, grabbed his arm nervously and asked, "Master Meng, who are they?" What do you want to do? ”
