Chapter 538: Pursuit

"Oh, Childe, tap it, tap it, my bones are about to be broken by you." The guy screamed in pain.

Ling Muyun realized that he had used a little too much force without paying attention, but when he said that he was breaking his bones, it was purely a bluff on the part of this guy. Immediately relaxed his hand and said, "Okay, now you can say what's going on, right?" ”

The shopkeeper stroked his arm, inhaled and said, "Why is this boy so strong, if you hold it for a while, I'm afraid that you don't need to ask for this small arm." ”

Ling Muyun listened to his rambling words and didn't get to the point, immediately took out a piece of silver from his arms, shook it in front of him, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, as long as you answer my question honestly, the money will be rewarded to you." ”

The guy's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said with a smile: "This young man, you asked so many questions at once, how can you answer the little one?" Why don't you go to the store to take a rest and talk to you slowly? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have time, if you want money, just make it clear, and if you want to be verbose here, I'll ask someone else."

Ling Muyun waved his hand a little impatiently, now that Qiao Feng and Ah Zhu had probably gone to Xiaojing Lake, where did he still have the heart to grind his teeth with this shop guy here?

"Son, why are you so anxious? Okay, okay, don't be busy, I'll tell you......"

The guy was about to say a few more words, but suddenly saw that Ling Muyun's color was impatient, he turned around to leave, and hurriedly pulled Ling Muyun back, after all, Ling Muyun He didn't care, but he couldn't care less about the silver that Ling Muyun took out.

Ling Muyun didn't really want to leave. Immediately turned around and said, "Then you can say it, I'll listen, but my patience is limited, you have to think clearly." ”

"Yes, yes, the little one knows."

The fellow nodded with a smile on his face, and said, "That's the case, there was a crazy man on the street before, and he was screaming while swinging two big axes. It scares enough people to choke. The two guest officers in our hotel couldn't look past it. So I went over and grabbed the crazy man and dragged him to the store. The madman shouted that some great evil man is coming, and he will go to Xiaojing Lake to give the Lord a message and so on. My family lives near Xiaojing Lake, which is a wilderness and sparsely populated. Even the robbers wouldn't choose anywhere. And what great wicked man would run there? Isn't that crazy! ”

Speaking of which. The guy seemed to have remembered something funny, shook his head and smiled: "But there are people in this world who believe in the madman who speaks, and those two guest officers actually take what the madman said seriously." I really want to go to the bamboo forest of Xiaojing Lake to send a letter to the lord, and after asking me for directions, he left in a hurry, and he walked with a cup of tea. ”

"What do those two people look like? Where is the madman now? Ling Muyun hurriedly asked.

The guy at the shop said: "The clothes of those two people are a little tattered, and they have several pockets, one of them is dressed as a scholar, and the other man is much shabby, just like Hanako, the master and servant are not like the master and servant, and the friend is not like a friend, but although the two are dressed, they are quite generous in spending money." As for the madman, after resting in the shop for a while, he seemed to be a little more awake, and then he rushed out into the street again with his axe. ”

Hearing this, Ling Muyun was already sure in his heart that the two people that the shopkeeper said were Qiao Feng and Ah Zhu.

Because according to Kang Min, when Qiao Feng and Ah Zhu went to her, one pretended to be Quan Guanqing, and the other pretended to be an ordinary beggar disciple, and the appearance was in line with what the shop guy said. Quan Guanqing's nickname is Shifang Xiucai, that scholar must be Ah Zhu who pretended to be Quan Guanqing, and the other one who didn't need to ask, it must be Qiao Feng who pretended to be a disciple of the beggar gang.

As for the crazy man who made the axe, nine times out of ten it was Gu Ducheng among the four guards of Chu Gu Fu and Zhu under Duan Zhengchun. Hearing this, the three of them have only been away for a long time, and if they catch up in time, it will still be too late.

Thinking of this, Ling Muyun asked the guy in the shop, "How to go to the bamboo forest in the small mirror lake?" ”

The guy at the shop smiled and said, "Guest officer, you can ask this, if you ask others, you may not know that I happen to be from the vicinity of Xiaojing Lake." Things in this world are really coincidental, and this is called no coincidence......"

Seeing that he was still verbose, Ling Muyun snorted in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, do you still want a reward?" ”

"Think, think, don't worry, Son."

The guy in the shop was a verbose person, but seeing that Ling Muyun's face was not good, it was related to the reward, so he didn't dare to sell Guan Zi anymore, and said, "That little mirror lake is in the northwest of here. You first went out of the city all the way to the west, and when you walked seven and a half miles, you saw a dozen or so big willow trees, and these willows were four in a row, four in a row, one four got four, two four got eight, three four twelve, four four hundred and sixteen, a total of sixteen big willow trees.

When you see the willow tree, then you turn to the north, and out of nine and a half miles, you will see a bluestone bridge, you must not cross the bridge, this bridge is wrong. It is said that the bridge can, but you have to cross, that is, you can't cross the bluestone slab bridge on the left, otherwise you will have to make a detour, and you have to cross the wooden plank bridge on the right.

After crossing the small bridge, one moment to the west, one moment to the north, and the other to the west, in short, follow the path, you can't go wrong. After walking for twenty-one and a half miles, I saw a large lake like a mirror, which was Xiaojing Lake, and there was a bamboo forest in the west of the lake, which was the square bamboo forest. From here, roughly speaking, it is forty miles, but in fact it is thirty-eight and a half miles, and forty miles is less. ”

"It's your bounty."

Ling Muyun finally finished listening to the shopkeeper's ramblings, and when he threw the silver into the shopkeeper's hand, he immediately turned around and strode west along the street.

The guy in the shop took the silver and checked it, about two or three taels, suddenly squinted with a smile, and muttered to himself: "When will that little mirror lake become a piece of fragrant dumplings, why are you in a hurry?" I pointed out the way twice, and the reward money I earned was almost enough to catch up with my work for half a month, and I was really lucky today! ”

Ling Muyun walked out of the city quickly, and immediately galloped westward with light skills, walked seven or eight miles, and saw four trees in a row next to the avenue, a total of four hundred and sixteen large willow trees. Under one of the willow trees, a man dressed as a farmer sat leaning against a tree, his feet dipped in the muddy water in the ditch beside the tree.

This was an ordinary scenery in the countryside, but the farmer had blood on half of his cheeks, and a shiny cooked copper rod on his shoulder, which seemed to be a lot of weight, and it was obvious that this seemingly ordinary farmer was actually a martial artist.

Ling Muyun's face was slightly happy, because this person was none other than Fu Sigui, one of the four major guards of the Dali Duan clan, Chu Gu, Fu and Zhu. Immediately, he came to him and asked, "Brother Fu, why are you here, who injured you?" ”

Seeing that it was Ling Muyun, Fu Sigui suddenly showed great joy on his face, and hurriedly endured the injury and bowed his hand and said: "I have seen Ling Gongzi, Ling Gongzi, it was the four evil people who injured me, the prince of Yanqing is going to hurt my prince, and I hope that Ling Gongzi can go and send a letter to my prince in front of my son-in-law, so that he can quickly dodge." ”

Fu Sigui was a little careful when he said this, in fact, Qiao Feng and Ah Zhu had already met him at this time, and they had already taken a step forward to report to Duan Zhengchun, but Fu Sigui was still a little uneasy, so he wanted to invite Ling Muyun to go.

After the battle of Juxianzhuang, Ling Muyun's name had already spread all over the rivers and lakes, and Fu Sigui had naturally heard of it when they came to the Central Plains. It is expected that if Ling Muyun can be invited to Duan Zhengchun's side, even if Duan Zhengchun is not able to avoid Prince Yanqing, with Ling Muyun's ability and his friendship with Duan Yu, he will not see Duan Zhengchun have an accident.

For Fu Sigui's careful thinking, Ling Muyun can also guess eight or nine, but he didn't say it, the other party is also loyal, and he already has the idea of helping, so why do you have to provoke it and make each other embarrassed?

smiled faintly at the moment and asked, "Brother Fu, you said the four evildoers?" My unscrupulous apprentice has become an accomplice to Duan Yanqing again? ”

Fu Sigui smiled bitterly, but did not answer, obviously not knowing how to speak well. Because the South China Sea Crocodile God not only came, but also made great progress in martial arts and became more ferocious, he was injured by the South China Sea Crocodile God.

Fu Sigui and the others had dealt with the four evildoers when they were in Dali in the past, so they naturally knew the details of the crocodile god in the South China Sea. Although the original South China Sea Crocodile Divine Martial Arts were a little higher than their four major guards, the gap between them was not very large.

But this time, Fu Sigui found that the martial arts of the South China Sea Crocodile God had increased a lot compared to before, and even more ferocious than Ye Erniang, who was ranked before him, he had only fought with the other party for a dozen moves before he was seriously injured, if it weren't for the other party's unintention to kill him, he would have already become a dead corpse at this time.

Seeing Fu Sigui like this, how could Ling Muyun not know that the South China Sea Crocodile God had really gotten together with Duan Yanqing again? A trace of displeasure suddenly surged in his heart, his cheap apprentice was really loyal to Duan Yanqing, and when he didn't pay attention, he didn't expect to run away to be a dog's leg again. This also made Ling Muyun make up his mind in his heart, when he met the South China Sea Crocodile God, he had to teach him a good lesson.

Ling Muyun's mind turned, and he returned to Fu Sigui: "Brother Fu, are you seriously injured?" I'll show you. ”

Fu Sigui waved his hand again and again and said: "No, no, my injury has been treated, I can't die, I can't go to the bamboo forest on the shore of Xiaojing Lake to send a message to my lord, Fu is grateful." ”

Ling Muyun was indeed anxious to see Qiao Feng and Ah Zhu, so he immediately nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go first, Brother Fu, don't worry, even if the Prince of Yanqing comes, I won't let him hurt Prince Duan." ”

Fu Sigui suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded gratefully, although Ling Muyun said this a little crazy, but Fu Sigui didn't feel that he was talking big, with Ling Muyun's current status in the rivers and lakes, he was qualified to say this. (To be continued......)
