Chapter Twenty-Nine: Encirclement and Suppression of the Remnant
Luo Feng stood on the tree and saw Mo Yu and Gu Xiaodong walking towards him, he jumped down the tree and looked at the two of them.
"Brother Luo! I heard Mo Yu say that they were in the courtyard in front. Gu Xiaodong lowered his voice.
"Hmmm! Mo Yu and I are staying here, you go back and inform Commander Yu and ask him to bring more people to arrest people!" Luo Feng commanded.
"Okay!" Gu Xiaodong was a hundred unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't say it. All the way, he felt that his legs were about to break.
Gu Xiaodong stopped at a bend in the village. He was going to get a horse and go again, or he would be offended.
Gu Xiaodong went from house to house. Finally, he found a family with horses.
If I had stolen the horses, would I have alarmed the bandits? Gu Xiaodong looked at the horse in the stall and pondered.
Although the family was far from the courtyard where the robbers lived, there was no guarantee that they would spread the word. What to do?
When Gu Xiaodong was in a dilemma, he walked into the horse hutch alone to add forage to the horse.
"Yang'er! Feed the horses in the middle of the night, don't get cold! An old woman's voice came from inside the house.
"Grandmother! You can rest assured! Am I clothed? The young man touched his horse.
"Don't move! I'm going to borrow your horse and pay it back in two days!" This is the silver for renting a horse! Don't make a noise about it, or your grandmother and you won't survive!" Gu Xiaodong said close to the young man's ear.
The young man was held hostage by Gu Xiaodong with a dagger, and he was already so frightened that he couldn't speak.
Gu Xiaodong put the silver in the young man's hand, and then he took out the horse.
Gu Xiaodong didn't go far after walking out of the courtyard gate, because he wasn't sure if the young man would be able to keep this secret.
"Yang'er! Why haven't you come back to sleep yet? The old woman's voice rang out in the room.
"It's coming!" The young man trembled into the house and climbed into his bed.
"Did you sleep?" The young man's grandmother asked.
"Hmmm! Sleep! ”
Gu Xiaodong saw that the young man did not reveal the truth to his grandmother, so he rode his horse to find the commander.
Luo Feng and Mo Yu took refuge in the village's ruined temple. The temple is on high ground, and you can see the situation in the village from standing there.
Luo Feng and the others didn't bring any dry food with them. In the early morning, Mo Yu picked some wild fruits on the mountain for the two to satisfy their hunger.
"Brother Luo! Someone's coming! Mo Yu said softly.
Luo Feng and Mo Yu hurriedly hid behind the mud bodhisattva in the temple.
A young man came to the temple with steamed buns to offer incense. He knelt in front of the Bodhisattva's throne and burned incense and kowtowed.
"Bodhisattva! My horse has been borrowed! He said he'd pay me back in two days! May the Bodhisattva bless my horse to come back safely! The young man who was called Yang Er cried and prayed.
After the young man left, Luo Feng and Mo Yu walked out of the temple gate. They looked at the young man's back and pondered his words.
"Could it be that Gu Xiaodong borrowed his horse?" Mo Yu looked at Luo Feng suspiciously.
"Let's go and stay at the young man's house!" Luo Feng felt that this matter was not trivial, in case that young man leaked out, then their plan would be completely frustrated!
Luo Feng and Mo Yu knocked on the door of the young man's house. They said they were passing through here to wait for a friend and wanted to borrow a night.
"Yesterday I borrowed a horse, and today someone comes to spend the night! It's really wicked! The young man muttered and opened the door next to him.
"It's not easy to go out, that room has been unoccupied for a long time. My wife is blind and needs to be taken care of by my grandson. So he can only sleep in a room with me......" the old woman chattered and kept talking.
"That's it! Grandmother! I don't know if people are annoying! "The young man's anger is not good!
"Good! Good! Do not say! Get them something to eat! "The old woman has a good heart.
The young man's name is Wu Yang, and he is sixteen years old this year. The horse was given to him by his father with the money he earned while he was out in business. He loves it like a treasure, and he never thought that he would meet such a master as Gu Xiaodong!
Wu Yang ordered two bowls of noodles for Luo Feng and Mo Yu. Luo Feng tasted it, this craft is not bad.
Two days later, in the evening, Gu Xiaodong came to return the horse. Luo Feng grabbed Gu Xiaodong's neck.
"Who?" Gu Xiaodong's back broke out in a cold sweat.
"Brother Luo!" Mo Yu called. He didn't know what Luo Feng was going to do?
"Do you know how much risk you're taking by doing this?" Luo Feng let go.
"Luo Feng! Officers and soldiers have surrounded the courtyard! You don't want anyone to run away! Gu Xiaodong said in his mouth, but in his heart, he said, "Mom! Scared the hell out of me! ”
"Let's go!" Luo Feng took the two of them straight to the courtyard.
Commander Yu ordered his soldiers to surround quietly. However, most of the people in the yard are practitioners, so how can they not be aware.
Therefore, when Luo Feng and the three of them arrived, the courtyard was already in chaos.
"Arrest the main culprit!" After Luo Feng finished speaking, he jumped into the courtyard and fought with Liang Peng and others, a close confidant of the assassin history.
Gu Xiaodong and Mo Yu went to the backyard just in time to see Zhuang Ying escorting Master Thorn Shi to escape.
Where are they Gu Xiaodong's opponents, they were tied up by the two after a while.
Gu Xiaodong asked Mo Yu to look at them. He went to the front yard to help Luo Feng clean up those who resisted.
Until dawn, all the prisoners were caught. Commander Yu put the assassin Shi in the prisoner car, and the others tied up and followed the prisoner car.
There were a few bold people in the village who came out to watch, and Wu Yang was also in the crowd. When he saw Gu Xiaodong riding on a horse and escorting the prisoner car, a look of envy appeared on his face.
Wu Yang made up his mind to study and practice martial arts, and he also wanted to go to the capital to break through.
Luo Feng and the others returned to the official road. No more bandits along the way.
Yu led the company to Beijing on a business trip, and then went directly to the Tanji Pavilion. Luo Feng had already met Dongfang Xuyu and Su Tuo, and briefly reported the gains of his trip.
As soon as he came out of Dongfang Xuyu's study, the concierge came back and forth to ask for a visit.
Luo Feng went out to take a look, and it turned out to be Commander Yu. He took the commander to Dongfang Xuyu's study.
"I've seen Mr. Dongfang!" Yu commanded the fist do.
"You may be seated! You must be the commander! Dongfang Xuyu put down the pen in his hand and looked at him.
"I came here on the order of the prince to invite the three pavilion masters to the prince's mansion to attend the banquet!" After the commander sat down, he explained his intentions.
"I've been feeling a little unwell lately. The second and third brothers will go with the commander! Dongfang Xu coughed.
"Since that's the case! Then I'll go back! Be sure to ask the two deputy cabinet masters to be on time tonight! Commander Yu stood up and took his leave.
"You go to the feast tonight, don't say much!" Dongfang Xu instructed.
"Yes!" Luo Feng and Su Tuo responded. As soon as they came out of the house, they saw Gu Xiaodong standing under the porch.
"He's done a lot this time!" Luo Feng looked at Gu Xiaodong's inquiring gaze and said to Su Tuo.
"Then take him with you!" Su Tuo naturally knew the meaning of Luo Feng's words. Gu Xiaodong likes to join in the fun, and he listened to Suto's words.
"Luo Feng!" Qingxue appeared in Luo Feng's sight. She's still so beautiful, so heartwarming.
