Chapter 239: Evil Deal in the Long Pavilion
Hearing the emperor's decree, Li Potian hated it. He was really a little afraid of Zhang Zi, if Zhang Zi came back, his army would definitely be taken away by Zhang Zi, so he wanted to rob and kill him halfway.
After Li Potian and the manager finished discussing, he left the living room, and saw that there was no one in the living room, and thought: "If you want to set fire to yourself, how can there be such a cheap thing, depending on my means." ”
In fact, there is also knowledge of arson, and the most common and unlevel is to hold a torch and light it directly, also known as an open flame, such as the method of burning and killing by Japanese devils. The exhibitors are very clever in setting fires, they have a special fire, they can fire at any time they want, and they can light more often.
After spreading the fire with five knives, he quietly slipped out of the living room, and secretly ran to other rooms to spread the fire before leaving General Li's mansion and heading to the meeting point. Although the defense of the city gate was very strict, it was difficult to spread the five knives, and soon escaped from the city and found the six knives.
As soon as Zhan Wudao came to the meeting point, he saw the fire in the city. Knowing that these are several brothers in action, I pray in my heart that the three brothers will return safely.
There are two kinds of slashing them, and setting them on fire. Because when they were surveying the line, they had already found an ambush at the designated fire point.
Thinking of the first set of fires, the officers and soldiers will definitely not be able to act, and the most dangerous ones are the last ones. So the people who set the fire in the back set the fire first, and then swaggered and started setting the fire. By the time the officers and soldiers tried to arrest them, they had already run out of the city.
At this time, Li Potian was organizing patrols in the streets, and although the emperor did not let the army out, he asked the emperor to allow the army to patrol in civilian clothes. I started to see my house on fire, and I didn't care, it was arranged in advance, and it was definitely no big problem. So he continued to patrol with his soldiers, with the aim of catching and slashing them.
At this time, a soldier ran over and reported: "Oh no, general, the whole house is on fire, and my wife asked you to take someone to put out the fire quickly." ”
Li Potian was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "How did you set the fire? Aren't you prepared? How do you let the fire burn to the house?"
The soldiers said, "General, we didn't set fire at all. More than a dozen houses in the house suddenly caught fire, and once they caught fire, they couldn't be controlled. ”
Li Potian understood that this was the hands and feet of the Zhan family brothers who sneaked into his mansion. It's so hateful, they go to other people's houses and set fires, but they just burn the stables, barns and so on, and burn them all to my house. I spent the money.
The adjutant general saw that Li Potian was still stunned, and reminded: "General, hurry back to the house to put out the fire." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Order everyone to go home and put out the fire. Li Potian finished the order and took the lead to run to the house. But he still didn't forget to clean up and show them, and ordered the adjutant: "You look at the last few families, and if you find the Zhan brothers, kill them immediately." ”
Where to catch it, the Zhan brothers have left the city safely.
Zhan Liudao saw that his five brothers had come back safely, and he burst into tears with excitement, he really didn't know how to live in the future without his brother's care.
Hearing Zhan Wudao's report, he said very solemnly: "Five younger brothers, I once promised Ling Nuxia that when I heard that someone had harmed Zhang Gongzi, I would go to the rescue." We can't afford to lose our words and hurry to the rescue. ”
Zhan Sandao said: "Big brother, the rescue is certain, we have to study how to rescue." ”
There was no good way to cut it with a knife, so I had to say: "I heard that Zhang Gongzi and Ling Nuxia went to Beihaihai County for disaster relief, let's go there to find them." Then escort them back to the capital. ”
Zhan Sandao said: "Big brother, you said that the method is very good. It's just that Zhang Gongzi has already been ordered to return to the court, if we go to the two forks, won't it be a delay?"
"You're right. With a slash, he couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you say?"
Zhan Sandao already has a plan: "Didn't Wudao just say that the manager was going to send money? I see that the time is still in time, won't we find Zhang Gongzi by tracking the killer?"
A knife patted his head and said: "The third brother is right, if you run blindly without a goal, you may really make a mistake." Let's hurry to the junction location. ”
The Zhan brothers have been engaged in assassination and robbery for many years, and their mounts are very good. When they went into the city to work, they hid their mounts in caves here. The six brothers walked into the cave and rode quickly to the main joint.
As he approached the joint, he grabbed his mount and said, "Let's get too close and be easily spotted." Then he ordered: "Six Knife, you go to the place where they join and reconnoitre." ”
Although Zhan Liudao is young, he is very clever, and the general reconnaissance mission is entrusted to him.
The location of the main pipe joint is in the Forty Mile Pavilion, that is, forty miles away from the capital.
In order to facilitate pedestrians, in the traffic arteries, a place for pedestrians to rest or take shelter from the rain is generally set up every ten miles, which is called the long pavilion. The dust people are more particular about sending relatives and friends to the nearest pavilion to the town, that is, the Shili Pavilion.
Sometimes people who describe enthusiasm often praise them like this: "That person is exquisite, and he can send you ten miles without eating." "Generally, guests are sent here, and no matter how reluctant they are, they have to say goodbye, and then they will go home with the guests.
The Forty Mile Pavilion was set up in a more conspicuous place, and the chief steward had already arrived, and it took about half an hour to see someone coming in the distance.
On the official road of the third watch in the middle of the night, there are basically no pedestrians. Those who can come to the Forty Mile Pavilion must be the connectors. The chief steward judged, stood up and asked, "Is it the second son?"
The comer traveled very fast, and when he came to the pavilion after a short time, he said coldly: "You are also worthy of seeing our second son?" and then went straight to the topic: "Did you bring the gold?"
The chief manager replied, "The gold is in my hand, but my master asked me to hand it over to the second son." ”
The man said impatiently, "If you give this to your master, it will be none of your business." With that, he handed a token-like thing to the chief, and half-took the gold bag half-forcedly. As soon as the visitor wanted to leave, he seemed to have discovered something, and the dart shot at the big tree three feet away from the pavilion.
An object fell from the tree, and just as the visitor wanted to come forward to inspect it, he heard the monkey's cry of pain, and said to himself, "It turned out to be a monkey." Then he said to the butler, "I am leaving, let your master hear the good news." "Disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
It was not the monkey that was knocked out by the comer, but Zhan Liudao. He came to scout on the orders of his eldest brother. Afraid of being discovered, he hid in a big tree three feet away from the pavilion.
With the skills of the six swords and the kung fu of holding the breath, it is generally difficult to find. But when he secretly ventilated, he was discovered.
The dart flew in, and Zhan Liudao felt it. When he tried to dodge, the dart was already stuck in his leg. Zhan Liudao endured the pain and jumped from the tree to the ground. Zhan Liudao is very clever, knowing that the dart thrower will follow, and after landing on the ground, learn a few monkey screams, and at the same time quickly escape.
Seeing Zhan Liudao's injury and running back, his face became solemn, what he was worried about was not Zhan Liudao's injury. The darts in Zhan Liudao are not poisonous, and they are not injured at critical points, so they can be said to be minor injuries, which is not a matter at all for the Zhan brothers who often fight and kill.
The fear of a slash is that the opponent is too strong. In the dark night, you can find a very clever Zhan Liudao, and you can also injure him, which shows that the opponent's kung fu is not ordinary.
After treating Zhan Liu's injuries, he said solemnly: "Brothers, it seems that the killer hired by Li Potian is very powerful. If we continue to rescue Zhang Gongzi, it is very likely that there will be no return. I'd like to discuss it with you. ”
Before the words of the knife could be spoken, Zhan Liudao reluctantly grabbed the words and said: "Big brother, you are not allowed to let me leave you again, hide and pass on what sect to pass on to what generation." I will be with you this time, otherwise you will walk on the front foot, and I will commit suicide on the back foot, so that you will always think that I am a burden. ”
Zhan Liudao's words really blocked the mouth of the knife, and he paused for a moment and said, "Okay." For the sake of our commitment, the six of us have no hesitation. Death also dies together. ”
After slashing with a knife, he got on the horse and took his five younger brothers to track the killer to save Zhang Zi.
After receiving the holy decree, Zhang Zi immediately handed over the follow-up disaster relief to his assistants and local officials, and he returned to the capital with Ling Feiyan and thirty retinues.
When he was ordered to go to the disaster relief, Zhang Zi knew that the responsibility was heavy, so he rushed to the disaster area non-stop. When I got there, I organized disaster relief in a vigorous and resolute manner, and I was so busy that I didn't even have time to rest. While praising the emperor, the dust people praised Zhang Zi's love for the people and his dedication.
Zhang Zi was ordered to return to the court, but he was not in a hurry, and he could even be described as slow. The reason is that it is known from the holy decree and Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's family letter that the purpose of calling him back to Beijing is to restore order in the capital as soon as possible. If Li Potian was not involved in this kind of thing, Zhang Zi would not hesitate, would not delay, and would return to the division quickly.
Because of Li Potian being mixed in, Zhang Zi felt that things were difficult to do, and of course he felt that things were not so simple. So he was not in a hurry to go back to the capital to wade through the muddy waters, but to travel with Ling Feiyan all the way.
Zhang Zi did this, the most important thing is to delay time. I hope that before he returns to Beijing, Li Potian will take the initiative to take the army away, so as to save a lot of trouble. Although he is a popular person around the emperor, there is no need to go against the generals who hold military power.
Another reason is that Zhang Zi wants to have some romance with Ling Feiyan. Since getting acquainted with Ling Feiyan, although he has been in contact with him for a lot of time, he has not placed his affection on the mountains and rivers. Most of the time it's at night, and in his small study, what he does the most is affection.
Zhang Zixiang and Ling Feiyan lingered among the mountains and rivers, poetic and picturesque, and the affection was lingering.
Climb to the top of the mountain, break through the fog in the wind, point out the rivers and mountains, and be high-spirited.
Sitting on the bank of the stream, the sound of meandering, gently hugging the jade waist, sleeping on the shoulder.
Hongchen has the troubles of Hongchen, but Hongchen also has the happiness of Hongchen, depending on the orientation. If all you see is darkness, you will always live in trouble. On the contrary, to be optimistic and open-minded is to live in happiness.
Now Zhang Zi lives in happiness and is accompanied by his beloved. This is the fairyland, and the cultivation of immortals is the artistic conception. Zhang Zi was in this situation, and he was really a little happy.
However, no matter how good the scenery is, there must be a time of separation. Zhang Zi, who was half-lying on Ling Feiyan's body, finally opened his eyes, stood up, and said goodbye to this beautiful scenery before pulling Ling Feiyan down the mountain.
