Zhang Jiang was always annoyed and frustrated, standing on the river embankment and looking at the lush fields that had become turbid waves, where was Peng Qingchen's shadow.

Not only is Peng Qingchen gone, but the two incense masters who were caught and the Pang Xian Baihu who were offered out are also gone, if they don't see it, then this credit will be discounted. Peng Qingchen ordered the soldiers to search for their whereabouts.

Yi Xingchen also participated in the search with a high bamboo pole and a mugwort melon.

Because this field is surrounded by hills and mountains, this field is actually a flat dam between the mountains, so after the water pours in, because there is no other outlet, when the whole field is filled with floodwater, the water surface is level with the Tunzhou River, and then there is no more water inflow, and the whole field becomes a lake.

When they searched until dawn, they didn't see Peng Qingchen's whereabouts, and all the people were deflated, standing on the river embankment in a daze looking at the muddy and calm water.

Yi Xingchen and Gao Zhugan Ai Donggua also searched around the lake, and when they were far away from the officers and soldiers, Gao Zhugan said to Yi Xingchen gratefully: "Big brother, thanks to you, otherwise, the two of us would have died this time." ”

Ai Donggua also said: "Yes, yes, thanks to the eldest brother who called the two of us to the river embankment together, we were lucky to avoid this disaster, and the eldest brother is really a blessing." ”

Yi Xingchen said with a bitter face: "What else do you want to say, my backer is Lord Peng, if Lord Peng is unfortunately killed this time, then my backer will be gone, there are people in the court who are good officials, and now that the backer is gone, if you want to be an official, then I am afraid that it will be difficult to go to the sky." ”

Ai Donggua and Gao Zhugan, the two glanced at each other, and they both felt deflated in their hearts, the main reason why they worshiped Yi Xingchen as the eldest brother was that they took a fancy to the big tree Peng Qingchen behind Yi Xingchen, and felt that Peng Qingchen was so good to Yi Xingchen, and the future would be just around the corner, and one person would ascend to heaven, and the two of them would be able to follow together, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Peng Qingchen was buried in the flood, and as soon as the big tree fell, it was a big question whether Yi Xingchen could go up.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Yi Xingchen smiled faintly and said, "Okay, don't call me big brother in the future." My big tree has fallen, so let's go our separate ways. I just joined Jinyiwei, I am young, I can say that I have no power, if I want to be promoted by military merits, there is no way, if I want to spend money to buy officials, but I have no money, so it is useless to follow me, you two are better on your own. ”

Ai Donggua and Gao Zhuzhu were silent and did not speak. After a while, Ai Donggua said to Xingchen, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Yi Xingchen smiled and said: "Of course, I continued to mix in the Jinyiwei, and finally entered the Jinyiwei, at least I don't have to worry about food and clothing, this is the job that Master Peng gave me, and I can't lose it." ”

Gao Zhugan was silent for a moment, walked up to Yi Xingchen, and said, "Big brother, if you hadn't asked us to go up the embankment and ran away with us before the embankment broke, I was afraid that we would have been buried in the flood." Your life was saved by you, no matter whether Master Peng is dead or alive, I will still follow you in the future, and you will always be my eldest brother. Big brother, please bow down to the younger brother. ”

Say it and bow to the ground.

Ai Donggua also bowed to Yi Xingchen and said, "Yes, big brother, you saved our lives, and the grace of saving lives is greater than the sky." Besides, in Jinyiwei, if you don't form a group, if you want to mix well and eat well, it's absolutely useless. Although you are young, you are not surprised, you are very capable, and you are the lifesaver of the two of us, you will be our eldest brother in the future, and our three brothers will work together to live well in Jinyiwei, and we will also be worshiped by our younger brother. ”

Yi Xingchen was slightly surprised, stood up, and said: "It's one thing to save your life, it's another thing to be a big brother, besides, I didn't mean to save you, it's just a mistake, don't take it to heart." As for Big Brother Bai, I'm just afraid that I don't have the ability to take you. ”

Gao Zhupole shook his head and said: "The grace of saving lives is the grace of saving lives, there is no ambiguity, besides, big brother, if you can get the appreciation of Lord Peng, you will definitely be able to get the appreciation of other adults." With your talent, there is still a great chance to soar in the future, unlike the two of us, stupid and stupid, there is really no way, and I hope that the eldest brother will not dislike the two of us stupidly, take us, and the three of us will go to the future wholeheartedly. ”

Ai Donggua also said: "Yes, you used to be just a fortune teller, to be able to get Lord Peng's appreciation so quickly, there must be something outstanding about you, our two brothers have long seen this, so they are determined to follow you, now although Lord Peng may not be alive, but, with your ability, it is not difficult to find a new big tree." Even if you don't rely on others, it's okay to rely on yourself. The two of us will definitely help the eldest brother to forge a path together. ”

Yi Xingchen showed a smile on his face and nodded, he could continue to follow him at this time, which can only show that these two people are not flattering to themselves because of Peng Qingchen, but really value their own abilities and believe that they will have a future. So if you are willing to follow yourself, then you don't have to be polite to them anymore.

So, Yi Xingchen also arched his hand and said: "In this case, thank you two brothers for your trust in me, as you said, only by holding a group can you not be bullied, and only then can you mix well, and in the future, the three of us brothers will work together to work hard and make a career." ”

Gao Zhugan and Ai Donggua nodded together, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

It's dawn. Mr. Zhang had already sent troops to find several fishing boats from the surrounding villages and search the lake.

In the afternoon, the three cages finally surfaced. Because the cage was made of wood, although the drowned horse dragged it to the bottom, under the impact of the water, the cage finally broke away from the carriage and floated up.

There was a corpse in each of the cages, swollen by the flood and covered with mud and sand. Judging from the clothes and the appearance that can be roughly distinguished, it is the incense master of the White Lotus Sect, Wu Cheng, the head of the Xuankong Dao, and the Pang trial hundred households who were framed and pulled in by Peng Qingchen.

In the prisoner car of Pang Xianbaihu, there was another corpse, holding on to the cage. After identification, it turned out to be what they were looking for, Peng Qingchen, who had just become an agent to try 100 households.

Peng Qingchen didn't know the nature of water, and when the flood came, he hugged the cage tightly, hoping to follow the cage to the surface, but he didn't expect to be dragged to the bottom by a dead horse, so he died. Fortunately, holding the cage to the death, it finally surfaced, and the corpse could still be found, while the other Jinyi guards did not have a single corpse floated up, and it was estimated that it was buried under the water by mud and sand, and even the corpse was not found.

Now that the corpses of Peng Qingchen and the prisoners have been found, Zhang Jiangzong breathed a sigh of relief, and he had no time to look for the corpses of other Jinyi guards, so he ordered to return to Tunzhou City with a few corpses.

When they came before, they traveled normally according to Yi Xingchen's requirements, so it took four days. And now that something big has happened, of course you can't go so slowly. Hurried and hurried, and returned to Tunzhou in more than two days.

Mr. Zhang personally reported to Ruan Baihu of Jinyiwei, and at the same time brought the three surviving Jinyiwei, namely Yi Xingchen, Gao Zhugan and Ai Donggua, to tell the story.

Ruan Baihu immediately stayed on the spot when he heard this. He thought that this was a great achievement from heaven, and he was very happy, and ordered Peng Qingchen to try a hundred households on his behalf, and personally escorted the prisoners to a thousand households, but he did not expect to encounter such a catastrophe.

In order to monopolize the credit, Peng Qingchen did not tell others about Yi Xingchen helping him to calculate the hexagram, nor did he say that this time it was Yi Xingchen who calculated that the hall master of the Tunzhou Hall of the White Lotus Sect would take the White Lotus Sect to hijack the prisoner's car, and then he was ready to arrest the master of the White Lotus Church. Therefore, Ruan Baihu didn't know the reason for this incident, and thought that it was really a disaster, but in fact, even if he knew, he would never have imagined that it was Yi Xingchen who calculated that there would be an earthquake in that place that would cause a gap in the river embankment to flood them. It was Yi Xingchen, a young hexagram master, who sent them to hell
