Chapter 248: Seeing the Peak in Despair
Xu Jiugong walked around the boulder again, and he felt more and more that this stone was strange.
There was a faint sound of a loud call from the bottom of the mountain, it should be Ma Pingchuan and they searched below. There are hundreds of them, and they can search this Guantai Mountain before dark.
Xu Jiugong doesn't have to worry about this.
"Nine Princes! Why are you still on it? Everyone is waiting for you to lecture you below! Eight Bags Elder Dong Zhang appeared at the intersection.
Jiugong smiled: "What is there to teach?" Isn't it just good to eat and drink? Go and scatter them! ”
Dong Zhang was about to go down the mountain, but Jiugong beckoned to him again and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you can pick a few trustworthy ones to stay in a while, and call them to the top of the mountain......"
Dong Zhang was surprised and delighted: "Helper, you want to pass on our martial arts?" ”
"Spread the ...... Just go! ”
Dong Zhang and Hou Ziqin happily led the four disciples up, and when they saw Jiu Cheng dismantling the bamboo poles of the dragon array, they hurriedly went up to help.
"One person takes one."
"Helper, this is much thicker than our dog-beating stick, are we going to use this to practice?"
"Yes, yes, yes...... I'll teach you when I'm done! ”
Xu Jiugong didn't fool them, he passed on a set of internal skills to them, and then the boulder was pried open by them.
"There's a hole in the bottom! Helper, didn't Lord Huyan disappear, but fell into the hole? Dong Zhang shouted.
"Think about it, the earth shook just now, why did we come in and see everything calm? Is it a hallucination? ”
Jiu Gong threw a stone down, but he couldn't hear the sound of landing, and his face changed. Such caves, even if you find them, I'm afraid it will be nine deaths.
"I'll go down and call their people!" Hou Ziqin said that he was about to go down the mountain.
"Wait, their people are better than us? Go find the rope! And don't let anyone else know about the cave, I'll see if they're dead or alive. ”
Looking at Dong Zhang's puzzled face, Jiugong laughed quietly: "Guess how old I am?" ”
"This ...... Seventy? ”
"I'll be eighty next year. I want to see if they need me to save them, but I can't save them, so I call their people up and save them...... Maybe it's going to take me half my life. Now the situation is unstable, I don't want anyone to know, I only have half a life left......"
Xu Jiugong said easily, but Dong Zhang was very sad in his heart.
By the time Hou Ziqin and the others found the rope, the sun had already set. Hou Ziqin was relatively thin, and he volunteered to go down. But when he was pulled up, he shook his head and said:
"The rope is still not long enough, but I can hear the sound of water underneath, and since there is water, there must be an outlet, so we might as well find out where the water is flowing out."
"Yes, then wait for the people they are searching outside the mountain. Don't go down the mountain, you two, and the rest of you go out tonight." ”
Ma Pingchuan and they found it from dawn to dark, lit torches and searched for another night, Xu Jiugong reminded them that there were no caves or water outlets on the mountain, and they said that they had not seen them.
I asked the people at the Black Wind Cliff and said that there was a cave, but I had never seen water flowing down.
The next day, Zhenghe County said that Fuzhou was in a big battle, and the five hundred households took their men, together with the soldiers of Zhao'an's Black Wind Cliff, and hurriedly returned to Fuzhou.
Ma Pingchuan borrowed Xiang Yong, who was familiar with the terrain, to look for a day on Guantai Mountain, but there was no clue.
He distributed the consolation money, and according to Lord Huyan's previous statement, he took half of the silver money in the basement of the county order and gave it to Fenghuang Village, before returning in exchange for his daughter.
Tang County Ling knew that this was Lord Huyan taking advantage of the fire to rob, although the flesh hurt, but he was helpless, and he scolded Huyan Jin more than 10,000 times in his heart.
Seeing that the third day was about to pass, Xu Jiugong and the others still found nothing.
"Jiugong, I don't think there is hope, a few days have passed, I didn't fall to death, and the blood has dried up." Hou Ziqin went down in person, and the rope he picked up was several zhang long, and it was difficult to breathe in the passage, although he heard the sound of water, but there was no light.
This can also live, that is the blessing of the gods.
"Look for it again, what if there is an undercurrent?" Xu Jiugong persevered.
The camp built by Heifeng Village itself was burned, but the part that turned out to be the temple was preserved, and the nine princes and a few of them lived here temporarily. At this time, there were still some old people moving things, and it was strange to see that they were not leaving.
"Are you looking for treasure? There is no treasure in Heifeng Village, and Leader Zhou is not a greedy person, as long as he has enough food and enough use, he will not take anyone to rob it. An old man laughed and accosted them.
"It's like we're looking for water in the mountains." Dong Zhang said casually.
They had already asked a lot of people, and he didn't have much hope.
"There's water! There is water on the mountain. ”
"There is water?!"
Ma Pingchuan was on the way to Nandu at night, and he was going to South James Mansion to send the military information back to Beijing first. This is the Zhao'an that Lord Huyan and Li He exchanged their lives for.
There are also Lin Xiaosi and Luo Changqing, on the morning of joining the battle, Lord Huyan was still asking them if they had any news......
Ma Pingchuan was in tears, and a whip was whipped hard on the horse's buttocks.
Before he returned to Jingshi, his news had already taken wings and flew back to North James's Mansion.
"What? Hu Yanjin and Li He are missing? Zhu Zhanji was taken aback.
He repeatedly read the message sent by Ma Pingchuan twice, but there were too few words and no more information. I can only wait for Ma Pingchuan to come back and ask for clarification.
Now the Guantai Mountain mob has been recruited, and they happened to be sent to Fuzhou to fight the Japanese invaders. Fuzhou got the news of Luo Changqing and made preparations in advance, especially to take down Xiong Qi, a traitor.
The prince also sent the troops of Bailian Village Zhao'an to Fujian to hand them back to Lin Si, and the troops of Heifengzhai led by Zhou Baorong became the vanguard of Fujian's anti-Japanese army.
It's just that the prince added a sentence to the military order of the military department: "These two armies do not need support in the future." ”
Zhu Zhanji sighed when he heard this sentence from his father. It's all mobs, and there's nothing to be sorry for.
It's a pity that Hu Yanjin, who recruited them back with his life, has been cultivating his right and left hands, both civil and military, and is good at understanding the king's heart. I tried him several times, and I was very satisfied with everything big and small. Alas, it's a pity!
Zhu Zhanji suddenly remembered buckwheat, he remembered that Hu Yanjin had told himself a long time ago in order to break his thoughts about buckwheat, that they had already made a marriage......
"Lord He, don't tell him about Lord Huyan's disappearance in the house first, wait for Ma Pingchuan to come back, explain it clearly, and then tell him separately." He quickly explained.
"Yes...... It's ......"
He Shao Zhanshi had a layer of cold sweat on his back, came out of the palace, and hurriedly rushed to the county lord's lane: My great ancestor, don't go to the county lord to say it!
When the carrier pigeon came back today, Xiao Gao happened to come to receive him this month's Yulu, He Shao James was already panicked, and hurriedly told Xiao Gao the news.
By the time he saw Xiao Gao, thankfully, he was still sitting at the gate of the East Courtyard and didn't go in.
Even if He Shao didn't say it, he didn't plan to tell Hua Qiao about it. How could such a witty person be missing? He wanted to ask Ma Pingchuan to understand.
Over the next few days, buckwheat gradually found a happy depression.
"Happy, have you been to James Mansion in the past two days?"
"Didn't go."
"Didn't go? What did Sister-in-law Zhang say, you have already sent all your Yulu rice to the house? ”
Xiao Gao's heart jumped, he didn't expect Hua Qiao to be meticulously observant, and even noticed this. He was thinking about how to prevaricate, only to hear Hua Qiao laugh and say:
"I said that you should save up your money, and you will use it again when you ask for a daughter-in-law in the future, why did you forget it?"
