Wang Fatzi walked nervously towards Zhou Tai, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and he thought silently in his heart, this little ghost must not cheat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two staggered by, Zhou Tai glanced meaningfully at Pinglan on his back, but Wang Fatzi didn't dare to delay, and ran in a hurry.

Just ran ten steps away, suddenly a figure rushed up from the back of the stone bridge, it was the old man in plain clothes who lurked in the night, stretched out his big hand like an eagle's claw and grabbed Pinglan on his back.

said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, Wang Fatzi was excited, took a few steps back, pulled out a gunpowder bag from his arms, pulled the lead, and threw it hard at Zhou Tai who was not far away.

When Shen Yue proposed a replacement plan for Zhou Tai, in order to prevent the other party from regretting, he secretly handed over this life-saving thing and asked him to act carefully.

Zhou Tai was young and young, and he was injured, and the fat man Wang made a strong move, couldn't dodge, and was staggered by the flying gunpowder bag.

The old man in plain clothes had heard of the power of this thing, and when he saw Zhou Tai fall to the ground, he quickly changed his moves, pulled out and ran over, and kicked the gunpowder bag into the river.

Seeing that there was no chance, the old man grabbed Zhou Tai's shirt and ran quickly towards the bridge. The Ming army fired arrows one after another, but his figure was flickering, dodging the people in front of him, getting on his horse and running away.

"You go after it first, be careful all the way." After Shen Yue gave the order to the soldiers, he hurriedly took Pinglan from Wang Fatzi's back and held him in his arms.

Seeing that Pinglan's eyes were closed, her face was haggard, she hadn't seen her for more than ten days, she was already a little thin, and her once lively and lovely smiling face appeared in her mind, and her heart was sour, those people must have interrogated her in order to find out about her own situation, and this child didn't know how much she had suffered in their hands.

Carefully pressed Pinglan's middle man with his finger, and the person in his arms slowly woke up.

Pinglan slowly opened her eyes, and saw that it was Shen Yue's eyes reddened and staring at her, at this time there were a thousand words in her heart, but she was stuck in her throat and couldn't speak, so she whimpered and buried her head in his arms and cried bitterly.

"Don't be afraid, it's all right now." Shen Yue patted Pinglan's back and confided softly: "I heard what Zhou Tai meant just now, it seems that you delayed them for a while, so that we had the opportunity to surround them, this time you were very witty and brave, but don't take such risks in the future, no matter where you reach the ends of the earth, I will get you back." ”

Pinglan fell into Shen Yue's arms and nodded gently.

Seeing that Pinglan gradually eased up, Shen Yue said with a smile: "Come, I'll carry you back." ”

"Who wants you to carry it?" Seeing that there were still outsiders around her, Pinglan was a little embarrassed, and said with a crimson face.

Hearing this, Wang Fatzi and the others who were on guard on the side walked forward with interest, leaving the two behind.

"Get on the sedan chair!" Shen Yue shouted with a smile and pulled Ping Lanqiang to his back,

Pinglan was ashamed and angry, a mouthful of silver teeth bit on Shen Yue's shoulder, seeing that Shen Yue was silent, he was a little distressed, so he quickly let go, so he had to let him carry it, and slowly walked towards Luanzhou Town behind a few people.

The night breeze was slow, and Pinglan felt that Shen Yue's thin and strong arms were very warm, and gradually pressed her body up, slowly closing her eyes.

Back to the town, Zhou's house, here is already empty, this compound is surrounded by a high courtyard wall outside, I can't see the clues, but there is a different world inside, several scattered small courtyards attack and defend each other, as if there is a military formation, and ordered Wang Fatzi and a few people to search around in the courtyard, Shen Yue carried Pinglan to the house.

At this time, Pinglan was already sleeping sweetly on her back, Shen Yue knew that she was a little sleepy after a night of tossing, so she didn't wake up, carefully put her on the bed to continue to rest, and quietly walked out of the door.

Although Pinglan has been rescued, Shen Yue does not dare to relax, but the details of this group of Yuan army have not yet been explored, and more importantly, Liu Ruoshui is still missing, could it be that she has also suffered an accident?

"My lord, this is the leader of the Zhou family, he should know something about the Zhou family." The soldier stepped forward and said, letting the swarthy old peasant with a wrinkled face behind him.

"The grass people meet your lord." The old farmer looked flustered, and he was about to kneel down as soon as his legs and feet were weak. After nightfall, he heard the sound of fighting outside, and he had been restless and sleepless, and finally waited for it to calm down, and wanted to quietly go out to see what was going on, but as soon as he went out, he was bumped into by the soldiers and led in.

"Don't be afraid, fellow countryman, we were sent by the imperial court and want to inquire with you about the situation of the Zhou family." Shen Yue hurriedly stepped forward to support the old farmer and said in a harmonious voice.

When the old farmer saw that the young man in front of him had a delicate face and spoke politely, like a trustworthy person, he relieved himself.

"My family has been in town for more than ten years, and although I don't deal much with us rural people, I have never done anything bad. A few years ago, my family's grain harvest was poor, and Master Zhou also helped my family, and he was a good man. ”

Shen Yue saw that he was a little far away, so he quickly stopped him and asked, "Who is the surname of the old man this week?" Where did he move from? ”

The old farmer scratched his head and said: "This Zhou master is Zhou Lao, how dare I ask the name of the big man who farms the land, his son-in-law I know, called Zhou Tai, the gentlemen in the town all say that he is a smart and good offspring, as for where he moved from, no one has heard of it, but once when I was working in the field, his relatives came to pass by, and the accent seemed to come from Xingzhou." ”

"Then how many sons are there in the family this week? Is there a third in line? Shen Yue then asked, the title of "Third Prince" was mentioned in the other party's secret letter, and the identity has not yet been confirmed.

"Master Zhou is old and has a son, only the only seedling of Zhou Taigongzi, but when I went to return food to Master Zhou, I heard his maid call him the third master."

It seems that the third prince probably refers to Master Zhou, who is he, and is there any second son standing behind him, the eldest son? Do they still have a nest in Xingzhou? Shen Yue thought in his heart.

"Come on, we've found a secret room." Suddenly there was a shout from the fat man in the courtyard, and Shen Yue asked the old farmer to leave, and hurriedly rushed over.

This is a Buddhist hall similar to Tibetan Buddhism, offering a more than two-meter-high statue of Immovable Vajra, with angry eyes, big ears and shoulders, solemn, people can't help but want to bow down to worship.

"The owner is here." Wang Fatzi pulled Shen Yue to detour behind the Buddha statue, turned an inconspicuous wooden rafter under the tower seat, and opened a piece of masonry on the ground, revealing an eerie hole.

This trip is thanks to the fat man Wang, otherwise this kind of secret passage is difficult for ordinary people to detect. The two of them carried the torches and went down, but it was a very spacious basement, with an offering table against the inner wall, a candlestick and an incense burner, and a black tablet in the middle.

Shen Yue stepped forward to take a closer look, but the handwriting on it was distorted and distorted not like Chinese characters, but like Mongolian, neither of them knew it, and they couldn't help but wonder who was enshrined, this tablet may be an important clue to uncover the background of the Zhou family.
