Mu Zixu, who was hidden in the bushes, had all the hair on his body standing upside down, and he was about to stand up with his hands propped up, and Qingfeng hurriedly whispered: "The fish shell is inside!" He is a disciple of my ancestor's Guanshanmen, and there are so many people ......" Before the words ended, someone on the riverbank on the other side had already shouted: "What person? Come out! As he spoke, a steel dart flew over with the sound of the wind and "snapped" to nail it to one of the horsetail pines they had hidden. Qingfeng didn't speak again, his body jumped, and he arrived in the empty field a foot away, and said:

"Uncle Yu, Qingfeng has been here for a long time, Uncle Shi has been absent for nine years, his demeanor is the same as before, and the younger generations are envious!"

When Mu Zixu was hesitating, the monk named Yuhu had already floated in, it was the novice who had just paid tribute to Yang Qilong, who was only twenty-eight or nineteen years old, and suddenly turned to Mu Zixu and said, "Who is the master?" Please come out and talk! Mu Zixu knew that he couldn't hide himself, so he jumped out, smiled and bowed, and said closely: "I have seen it." In this way, the 'steamed bun stuffing' will be put on a big red robe, put on the firewood mountain, and press it down...... Nirvana and death on the spot in full view of ten thousand eyes, and then burn it clean - next May Xingming will also be concocted in the same way - it is really a whimsical idea, and the spirit of the ancient temple in the jungle is gathered in the Jinling Pilu Courtyard! ”

With a wave of his hand, more than 20 monks pulled out their daggers and slowly approached in a fan, while Yang Qilong and Jueyuan only stood and watched from a distance. Yu Ke ignored Mu Zixu's sarcasm, turned his face to Qing Style and smiled, and said, "This person is like an eagle dog minions, you are a monk, what are you involved with him?" Gu Yue ordered you to come? Qingfeng secretly took full strength and said: "Nine years ago, I was kicked out of the mountain gate because of my uncle's picking flowers, how I interceded in front of my master at that time, have you forgotten?" It's amazing that you would come out and do such an act. Master Miyayama regrets it very much, and specially ordered me to ask you to go back, and it doesn't matter about Hongchen. Yu Ke said coldly: "I have taken refuge in Buddhism, how can I return to the south?" Hu Gongshan was ordered by his master to go out of the mountain to help Wu Sangui fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore his sight, but he actually turned to help Kangxi, and he still had the face to teach me a lesson! Saying that, a palm slashed towards Qingfeng, Qingfeng's body swung, and with a "Guo Ju Burying" technique, the palm of the future was tightly clamped, and the two palms struck each other, making a sound of Zheng Zheng Jinshi! The fish shell was stunned, took a step back, and nodded: "Sure enough, it has grown!" ”

Qingfeng pulled out the dust from his back to meet the enemy, and said with a smile: "It's not that I've grown, it's that Uncle Shi has picked too many flowers and his body is empty!" "Brush" the dust to the side, a monk with a full face of flesh paused, "Mom" screamed and covered his face and rolled on the ground. The rest of the monks saw that they had their hands moved, and with a wave of the dagger in their hands, they attacked Mu Zixu. Suddenly, on the bank of the river, the white blades were staggered, the yellow sand suddenly rose, and a group of people were already fighting together. Mu Zixu saw that it was difficult to deal with, and Qingfeng and Yuhu fought with less attack and more defense, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart: If he had broken into the mountain alone, he would have returned to Huangquan a long time ago! In a hurry, Mu Zixu shouted: "Hu Gongshan, you dog meat Taoist, you only came at this time!" ”

When he glanced at Mu Zixu, his thighs had already been brushed by the breeze, and the steel wire mixed in the horsetail immediately swept through his pants and scraped a piece of skin from his legs. The breeze took a step forward, carried in the palm of his hand, and squeezed straight down like a cow's belly. The fish shell was in a hurry, and a fish jumped on the spot to dodge the blow, turned around and kicked it, and was kicking between the ribs of the breeze, the breeze gritted his teeth, and swept the dust on the face of the fish shell with all his strength, and the fish shell was suddenly covered with blood, and fell crookedly on the beach without saying a word. Qingfeng was also seriously injured, his throat was sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Fell to the ground to rest and live. The two strongest kung fu were seriously injured, and the rest of the monks surrounded Mu Zixu in the core, and even Jueyuan came over to help fight Taiping Boxing, making Mu Zixu so tired that he was sweating and panting, and only used the dagger that sharpened iron like mud to stab left and right to protect his body, and when he peeked in the busy, Yang Qilong had already disappeared without a trace.

In the middle of the crisis, I heard the sound of the cannon on the other side of Mochou Lake Gongchentai three times, and it was the moment when the sub-brand was lit up everywhere. In the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, there are three official ships with brilliant lights down the river, and I don't know how many officers and soldiers are up and down the mountain, and the sound of killing is moving. The more than twenty monks surrounding Mu Zixu have been knocked down two or three, and the rest are in a daze, and four or five are cut down by Mu Zixu's dagger, and the rest let out a shout and flee like flies. Mu Zixu hated Jueyuan, and when he saw that he was about to leave, he caught up with him in a few steps, lifted his chest, and said with a cruel smile: "Great monk, why do you need to go!" Zhitong is waiting for you to go to Lingshan Elysium together! Jue Yuan closed his eyes, muttered a few words, raised his hand and stuffed a black pill medicine into his mouth, chewed it a few times, his body went soft, and he was already dead.

At this time, the warship had arrived at the shore, Wei Dongting came down with his hands behind his back, and looked at Zhitong who was sitting with his palms together by the river. On the huge beach, seven or eight monks died, and Mu Zixu was covered in blood, standing in a daze with a dagger. The two looked at each other silently for a moment, and Mu Zixu said, "Big brother, if it weren't for the fourth brother tonight, you wouldn't be able to see me." As he spoke, he dragged Wei Dongting to Qingfeng's side.

"Fourth brother? Is it Hao Laosi? Wei Dongting said in surprise. When I got closer, the Qingfeng Dao people were stuck in the dust on their backs, sitting cross-legged, but their faces were sallow. Wei Dongting hurriedly said: "Quick, ask someone to send it to the boat, and go back to the house for a few days." "I'm not a fourth, don't mistake the layman......" Qingfeng's voice was weak, but it was very clear, "The layman wants to make a good fate, give me a sampan on the official ship, let me float down, and feel love......" Wei Dongting's eyes were full of tears, he saw the breeze, sighed, and turned around and ordered the person: "Untie the sampan, there are bone-setting medicines and food to put on!" After speaking, he and Mu Zixu carefully picked up the breeze and walked towards the riverbank. Helping the breeze onto the boat, the two silently bowed, and the sampan slowly disappeared into the dark night along the river waves.

"Two military gates!" A young officer in his twenties came over, stood behind them and said, "Inside and outside the temple, a total of 137 monks have been arrested, including 147 who died here, and another 20 have been arrested on the Zen Mountain. But it's all the same as this (Zhitong), how to send it, please instruct! ”

"Is it Nian Qianyao?" Wei Dongting didn't look back, and ordered, "The dead monks here each make up for a knife, and the ready-made Chai Mountain ignites and incinerates them!" ”

"Wow!" Nian Qianyao did not hesitate, drew his sword and obeyed the order. Mu Zixu saw that he didn't even leak his wisdom, and each of them slashed out his heart, and couldn't help but secretly say: "This person is so hard-hearted!" After hesitating for a long time, he sighed: "It's a pity that Yang Qilong, the traitor, has gone!" ”

"He can't go." Wei Dongting sneered, "I have already received a report on the ship just now, and I caught him at the gate of Tianfei Temple." ”

At this time, Nian Qianyao had already supervised the soldiers to set the firewood mountain on fire, and the raging fire illuminated a river beach red, and the stench of the corpses was scorched. In the firelight, Wei Dongting's face was full of murderous aura, and he turned to Mu Zixu and said, "I'm afraid Ge Li has already realized it, and it won't be easy to destroy the evidence, let's go to the Governor's Mansion overnight, how about it?" ”

"Everything is at the disposal of Brother Huchen!"

"No!" Wei Dongting said: "Although I am presiding, you are a Qincha on the bright face, and you have to sing with a red face!" ”

Hearing that Mu Zixu, a first-class guard, the new Jiangning Weaving Division, and the political envoy of the cloth came to visit at night, Ge Li was shocked. At that time, it was already the fourth watch, although Ge Li was reluctant, he also knew that Mu Zixu would have a major event to meet, so he hurriedly ordered his seventh aunt Taiyi Poinsettia to dress him, and hurriedly washed up and came to the signing room. Seeing the guerrilla Nian Qianyao of the Xuanwu Lake Standard Camp standing beside Mu Zixu, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and calmed down a little outside the door, Fang Zi picked up the curtain and came in, and said with a smile: "This must be Brother Mu Zixu!" Yesterday, my brother also sent someone to the Jiangning Department to inquire, saying that the adults came to Jinling to visit their old friends in less than half a day, so although they were anxious, they were not allowed to meet, and they were very sorry - uh, I remember that it was still the nineteenth year of Kangxi, and my brother went to Beijing to report on his work, and he had a chance to meet Brother Mu in Xihuamen. This person compares with people, where did he start! As he spoke, he sat down, and ordered someone to "watch the tea". Because Nian Qianyao was a subordinate of Ge Li, he was busy calling Qian'er to ask for peace, and solemnly stepped back and stood with his sword. Ge Li smiled and said appreciatively: "Liang Gong is the youngest officer under my subordinates, and he is only seventeen years old this year, and he is already a budding man. Last year, Liu Tiecheng, a thief in Hongze Lake, was the first to rush into the thief's village - I'm not mistaken, right? I heard that you don't want to be born in the military, but you want to learn from Fan Chengmo and get the fame of the soldiers? It's really terrifying, and its ambition is commendable! ”

Mu Zixu looked at this uncle silently, he was around fifty years old, with five long beards and a neat beard, and his slightly longer face was decorated with dignity. Although he spoke eloquently, he never asked the two of them what they meant. Mu Zixu couldn't help but think: Several feudal officials, all those who opposed him fell one by one, it seems that this Ge Li is indeed outstanding, and it does not rely on the identity of the uncle. After a long time, Mu Zixu coughed lightly, leaned over and said, "Brother came to visit late at night, and I made a mistake." However, it is related to the safety of the emperor's southern tour, and the brother has a secret edict from the emperor, so he has to do so, and he still hopes to control Taiwan Haihan! "What are you talking about?" Ge Li smiled: "We are all servants of the emperor, so shouldn't we be?" If your lord has a secret decree, what is there to send, and my brother will do as he is commanded......"

"It's a matter of the palace." Mu Zixu said lightly, "It has been ascertained that there are traitors entrenched in the Baishadu Zen Temple and the Pilu Temple, and the invincible general cannon was actually set up on the mountain to aim at the palace. Ge Li didn't expect that this secretive political envoy had come to investigate this matter, his face turned pale, and he was stunned for a while before he asked, "Is there such a thing?" Too...... Surprise - he, where did they get the cannon? Mu Zixu stared at Ge Li and snorted: "Yes, my brother also wonders, where did this cannon come from?" ”

He didn't speak for a while, and there was a huge pressure hidden in this silence, and Ge Li felt that it was more difficult than being tortured, and suddenly he was scorched all over his body, and he was burned inside; Suddenly, it was like falling into an ice cellar, and it was cold to the bone. Cold sweat ran down her cheeks silently. Ge Li thought nervously: Suo Etu contacted him, never used letters, only Chen Xijia came to Nanjing to give oral face-to-face teaching, Yang Qilong came to the government several times to discuss and plot to assassinate Kangxi, but he was also handed over to him by his henchmen, he was innocent, where did he come from? Thinking of this, Ge Li made up his mind, wiped the sweat on his head and said, "The little man is so hateful, it makes people palpitate when he thinks about it!" It's just that how do adults know about this? It's amazing how quickly you act! ”

"After eating the emperor's money, it is natural to serve the emperor honestly." Mu Zixu saw that he was frightened at first, and gradually his face became calmer, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, and said with a sigh of relief, "Please see someone from the table, it is a friend who my brother 'invited' tonight." With a slight wave of his hand, Nian Qianyao strode out. After a while, two sergeants came in with the half-dead Yang Qilong, and they were looking at Ge Li with four eyes, and they both flashed away.

Mu Zixu got up and paced two steps, dialed the floating tea in the cup with a covered bowl, took a sip, and said, "Ge Zhitai, let me introduce it." This person's name is Yang Qilong, since the sixth year of Kangxi, he called himself the third prince of Zhu in Beijing, gathered millions of Zhong Sanlang congregations, and tried to take advantage of Wu Sangui's rebellion to claim Wang Fuming, and he was also a person who had been a king! Alas...... I didn't have the opportunity to see it in Gu'an back then, but later I had a side of it in the Niujie Mosque. How did you become so disgusting--a handsome boy! Although he is smart and smart, and the mechanism is exhausted, he has no choice but to know that the sky net is restored, and the unrighteous people will never escape! ”

"You don't need to be pretended! If the husband dies, he will die and swear not to be humiliated! Yang Qilong's eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, "Yu let the paint body swallow charcoal, although he is unsuccessful, he is also a martyr!" Compared to the two of you, an exotic beast and a scum of the Han family, I am much cleaner! ”

Yang Qilong left Zhili in the eighteenth year of Kangxi, with his millions of taels of wealth hidden in the past, he made friends with the heroes of the green forest, colluded with the ministers of the imperial court, and operated in Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang for several years, and finally had a decent situation. Miserable! If it weren't for the fact that the living treasure governor on the other side wanted to do things on his own and refused to directly intervene to help, why would he be exposed so quickly? But Yang Qilong also knew that if Suo Etu and Ge Li were left, sooner or later Kangxi would be killed. While Yang Qilong was making an idea, he coldly looked at the three people with different minds on the other side, and his lips tightened proudly.

"You're a big man, a martyr?" Mu Zixu glanced at Ge Li, and sneered, "You are not a prince in the first place, but you are stunned by golden branches and jade leaves, and deceived more than 200 people to be substitutes for the dead ghosts - Wang Ba looks in the mirror - look at your turtle shape, you want to compete with my lord for the world?" Say! Who is the mastermind, and who is planning this rebellion? How do you know that the emperor will come to Ning in May? The Redcoat Cannon – Where did the four Redcoat Cannons come from? Speak! ”

This series of questions is piercing to Ge Li, but when this life is at stake, he must be cautious in his words and deeds, Ge Li suppressed the great panic in his heart, and stilted his legs to wait for changes. But when he saw Yang Qilong squatting with his clothes in his hands, he sat on the ground, raised his eyes and said: "Kangxi was originally scheduled to come to Nanjing this winter, and then scheduled to tour the south at the end of April next year. ”

"Who?"

"Yang Qilong is not a traitor!"

"And then—what about the cannon?"

"I took it out of the ruins of the Ming Taizu Xiaolingwei Fort, and asked the connoisseur to recast it!"

"Why recast? Who cast it? ”

"It's been rusty for a long time, I'm afraid that I won't be able to kill Kang Laosan." Yang Qilong said with a sneer, "Besides, this Ge Li has issued notices to search for me several times, I want to make him suffer a little, and if the cannon is searched, he will not be able to escape the involvement!" He laughed at the sky. When Mu Zixu heard this, he knew that he had the intention to exonerate him, but he couldn't grasp the handle, so he asked again: "Which craftsman do you ask to cast?" Speak! Yang Qilong rolled his eyes and said, "I have already said: death is death!" There is no reason to sell friends! ”

When Ge Li heard this, he suddenly stood up, slammed the teacup on the case, and said loudly: "Someone! Outside the hall, Goshha patrolled the officials and others, and heard that the station got up at night to try the case, and stood neatly under the corridor in the morning, listening to this greeting, and hurriedly responded: "Here!" "Two flag officers have already come in and crossed hands to listen to orders. Ge Li pointed at Yang Qilong with his finger and said viciously: "This fang is brutal and cunning, and it is difficult to recruit if you don't move the big punishment - wait with a stick!" ”

"Wow!"

"Wait." Mu Zixu stretched out his hand to stop it, and ordered Nian Qianyao, "Take Yang Qilong to the Prison Temple, and you send someone to take care of it!" After Yang Qilong was put down, Mu Zixu turned his face and smiled at Ge Li, "Lord Ge, this, this is the imperial case!" ”

Ge Li couldn't help frowning, he already understood that tonight's Ming trial of Yang Qilong, in fact, the machine with a double knock, this Mu Zixu Xiang Zhuang sword dance, intended for Pei Gong, all came at himself. However, if you plot a rebellion against the imperial court, you must not be punished without permission, and the law is clear, but there is nothing you can do. Ge Li only realized at this time that this guard was not easy to deal with, and when he lowered his head and pondered, he said as if he was at a loss: "Thanks to Brother Mu's reminder, it's almost Meng Lang!" Because of these red-coated cannons, the brother has been suspected, please find out as a whole, and suspect the brother. He sighed. Mu Zixu saw that he seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, and he felt a little pity in his heart, so he was stunned for a moment, and said: "It's not a secret, my brother came to handle this case this time, it was all a holy and arbitrary, you are an official for many years, and you can figure out the reason." As you said just now, my brother is already in my heart. In this way, the brother bought a house in Hujuguan, and the right to use it as a private house to give the table, and he could take his family to live there temporarily. The documents and archives here, the brother was ordered to be sealed - but if you can bear it, the brother will take care of it, please rest assured - you have not been dismissed. This is just a stopgap measure, please ...... Haihan"

"Yes!" Hearing this, Ge Li seemed to be announcing a decree and talking privately, and it was difficult to salute or answer, so he had to reply in a low voice: "Brother understands, it is all up to your lordship." After saying that, he bowed and withdrew silently, and here Nian Qianyao ordered his sergeants to hold dozens of lamps and paste seals from room to room. Although Mu Zixu did what Wei Dongting had planned, he was not down-to-earth in his heart, and he was busy ordering people to drive a sedan chair to Wei Mansion. By this time it was already getting light.

Wei Dongting half lay in the easy chair and quietly listened to Mu Zixu's return, and then said: "Brother, do you know that you and I have suffered a lot of disasters this time!" Mu Zixu was excited because of the big harvest in one night, and when he heard Wei Dongting say this, he was taken aback and asked, "What's wrong?" Isn't the brother serious? "It's not that it's not serious, it's that it's too serious!" Wei Dongting pushed the two things on the coffee table next to him and said, "Look at these two objects." ”

Mu Zixu noticed that there was a wooden box next to Wei Dongting's bowl, wrapped in purple lacquer and gold, with a bright yellow cover, which was an object in the palace. ”

"Just now, the horse sent it." Wei Dongting looked tired and haggard, and replied slowly: "Ruyi, it was sent by the fourth master, and the Wolong bag was sent by the prince, pointing at me, and I must hand it over to you!" ”

Mu Zixu couldn't help but be stunned.

"Tell Nian Qianyao that nothing can be found out." Wei Dongting said, "This case has been clarified, and no one can be connected - even Ge Li!" His voice was empty, as if he were speaking far away, but it was clear.

Mu Zixu finally understood what Wei Dongting meant, sighed, stared at the window paper that was gradually turning white, and did not speak for a long time.
