Chapter 61: Kidnapping
readx;
Xu Yang saw that the four monks were also going to Longjing, and they happened to be on the same road as him, and said: "The four masters, if the imperial court and the officers and soldiers were reasonable, they would not have taken away so many monks for no reason, let alone caused so many monks to be homeless and displaced everywhere. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Master info, the six of us are also going to Longjing, why don't we go with me?
When the four monks heard that the six of them were also going to Longjing, and also let themselves follow each other, they were overjoyed, knowing that they now had no entanglement, if they went all the way to Longjing, and all the way to Longjing, they didn't know what year and month it would take to arrive in Longjing?
The four monks saw that Xu Yang was kind and generous, and that he was still a rich master, so if he could follow the other party to Longjing, wouldn't he have to worry about eating? The four monks immediately bounced up from the stool, put their palms together on their chests, and said in unison: "The donor is kind and generous, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and will surely accumulate immeasurable merits." In the future, I will not go to hell and will be free from samsara. As long as the donor doesn't dislike us and other drags down, then we will delay the donor's journey. ”
"The four masters are polite. It is a blessing for me to be able to walk with the four masters. Xu Yang said. Xu Yang and the others also saw that the four of them were shy, so why not help people to the end and send the Buddha to the north.
So, Xu Yang and the four of them chatted with the four monks for a while, and they talked happily.
Xiaohu saw that Lian Gui and Yin Su'e had been untying their hands for half an hour, and muttered: "It's been so long since I went to relieve my hands, could it be that the two girls fell into the toilet?" Xu Yang and Ma Zichen also thought that the two girls had never come back so far, so they were shocked and stood up suddenly.
The four monks also knew that there were two female dependents around the four of them, and they also thought that it wouldn't take so long for the two girls to relieve themselves? Xu Yang looked outside the inn, and immediately rushed outside, while the big tiger and the little tiger and Ma Zichen also hurriedly rushed outside. The four monks didn't understand what was happening and rushed outside.
When the eight of them came to the courtyard of the inn, they didn't see the shadows of the two girls. Ma Zichen hurriedly went to the toilet on the west side of the courtyard to look for the two girls, but he didn't see the shadows of the two girls.
The eight immediately searched separately, searching all corners of the inn, but never saw the shadows of the two women. Ma Zichen, who was anxious, was anxious, and while looking for the figures of the two women, he shouted the names of the two women loudly. The eight people shouted the names of the two women, but no one answered.
The little two heard that the eight people were looking for the two girls in the inn, and they also thought about where the two girls were hidden, and the eight people who were harmed were looking everywhere.
The eight people searched all over the place within a mile radius of the inn, but they still didn't find half of the shadows of the two women, and the anxious Ma Zichen beat his chest and paused, regretting why he didn't follow the two girls to the toilet. The eight of them returned to the courtyard of the inn, and Xiaohu muttered to himself, "Could it be that the two girls have already gone their separate ways?"
"Nonsense. The two girls only carry a little bit of silver on them, and even if they leave us, they have to say hello to us in advance, right? If the two girls really want to leave without saying goodbye, why do they leave us so secretly? If the two girls really want to leave us, as long as we say it, we will definitely not force the two girls to stay, and we will definitely let them leave. Ma Zichen said anxiously.
Seeing Ma Zichen's anxious movements, Dahu said calmly: "What Xiucai said is not unreasonable. Let's think of another way, maybe the two girls hid in that corner, playing hide and seek, and deliberately let us go to find it! It's just that the joke made by the two girls this time is too big, and the two girls have never made such a joke before! The two girls can't just disappear out of thin air, can't it be ......?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you crow's mouth. We haven't provoked anyone, who will cause harm to the people around us?" Ma Zichen said with a depressed face.
Xu Yang saw that the two sides were noisy, and his noisy ears "buzzed", thinking that he had offended a lot of people, but these people were all killed by himself; Xu Yang combed through the people he had sinned against, thinking of Zhang Feng of the Holy Lotus Sect and the masked man who escaped on horseback, even if he wanted to frame himself, it was impossible for him to threaten himself with two women; thinking that those officials in Changming County were people from the government, and it was impossible for them to dare not go with him; thinking that the ten masked people who were released by him in the temple were robbers in the mountains, would they dare to ask for trouble?
Xu Yang thought about it all over again, but he couldn't think of anyone who dared to rob the people around him so boldly. Xu Yang thought that the two girls had disappeared in the inn, and when he asked the proprietress wouldn't it be clear at a glance, he immediately walked towards the inn.
Xiao Er, who was watching the excitement at the door, saw Xu Yang walking towards him in annoyance and anger, and scattered in fright. Xu Yang looked towards the inn and found that there was no shadow of the proprietress in it, and he also thought that he had never seen the shadow of the other party since he got up in the morning, and he was puzzled. Seeing the little two huddlers huddled in the corner one by one, he suddenly grabbed the little two from the side with a big hand, and asked, "Where did your boss lady go?" ”
"Since we woke up in the morning, we haven't seen where the proprietress is!" said the little er.
Xu Yang saw that this little second didn't know where the proprietress was, so he was angry, and was about to beat the other party violently and let the other party explain honestly, when the voice of the big tiger came from his ears: "Brother Xu, there is a feather arrow inserted in the stake of the thatched toilet where Lian Gui and Yin Su'e untie, and there is a small note on the arrow." After speaking, he gave the feather arrow in his hand to Xu Yang. As a result, Ma Zichen, Xiaohu and the four monks also walked in one after another.
Xu Yang heard that there was a feather arrow on the stake of the two women's toilets, and there was a note on it, obviously this note was a reminder for himself, and he was startled, and a terrible thought came to his heart, and he quickly opened the note, only to see that it said, "If you want you two women, come to Yueyang County's 'Tianxiang Building'." When Xu Yang saw the content of the note, he knew that the two women had been kidnapped, and he was furious.
Ma Zichen also reached out and took the note in Xu Yang's hand, took a closer look, blushed with anger, and gritted his teeth and said, "It's really unreasonable." Who is so bold that he dares to rob Lian Gui and Yin Su'e in broad daylight, he is really impatient. After speaking, he looked at the little two in the inn. The little two waved their hands again and again, not knowing.
"Now the top priority is to go to Yueyang County as soon as possible, and then we will know who kidnapped the two girls. If it's late, I'm afraid of life. Xu Yang touched his chin and said.
As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, the big tiger and the little tiger ran to the second floor, then sorted out the things and went downstairs. The four of them took the six horses out of the stable, and when they were about to turn over and get on the horses, they thought that they were still accompanied by four monks, and they promised each other to go together, but there were only two mules and horses around them, which was not enough for the four of them.
The four monks also saw that the four of them were worried, and said emptyly: "The donor is a bodhisattva-hearted person, and the people around him will definitely be safe and sound, and they will turn evil into good fortune." Human lives are at stake, so don't think about us with the four donors, you better hurry up and go first. We'll be in Yueyang County with the donors soon. ”
"Four masters, then we'll go first. See you in Yueyang County. Xu Yang said. After saying that, Ma Zichen had already taken the lead and quickly headed towards the north, while the big tiger and the little tiger each sat on a horse, each pulled a horse, and also quickly headed towards the north.
Xu Yang rode on horseback and quickly whipped his horse and ran towards the north, and while looking behind him, he saw four monks carrying iron rods and following with flying steps.
Xu Yang was shocked when he saw that the four monks were walking like running, and thought that if he walked with each other, he didn't know if he could catch up with the four of them? Xu Yang saw the four monks walking fast, and urged the horses to gallop towards the north more and more. Although the four of them were already walking fast, they could not compare to the four legs of the horse, so the distance became farther and farther, and gradually they did not see the four monks behind them.
Xu Yang and Ma Zichen took the lead in running at the front, followed by the big tiger and the little tiger and two horses. Originally, it would take three days for the four of them to arrive in Yueyang County from the Miyue Inn slowly, but now the four of them are strongly urging the horses to gallop towards Yueyang County, so it only takes a day, and they also need to let the horses rest during the period, otherwise they have not yet arrived in Yueyang County, and the six horses will already be exhausted on the road. In addition, Yueyang County is surrounded by rugged and difficult mountain roads, which brings more inconvenience to walking.
Xu Yang and the four of them walked quickly on the rugged and difficult road, walked for a day and a night, and finally saw the outline of Yueyang County appear in the field of vision the next morning. When the four of them saw that Yueyang County was already close at hand, they immediately rushed towards the county seat.
When the pedestrians on the side of the road saw the four men and six horses passing by them, they only blew a cold wind, and then they did not see half a shadow.
When the four of them came towards Yueyang County, they saw that there were many people selling their sons and daughters, burying their relatives and begging in the surrounding area, which was more than twice as many as in Miyang County. When the four of them came to the city, the begging people on the side of the road immediately surrounded the four of them and six horses, making it impossible for the four to move forward at all. In desperation, Xu Yang grabbed a handful of copper coins from his sleeve, and then left it far away from the side of the road.
These begging people saw each other spilling a handful of copper coins, and hurriedly ran to rob them. Xu Yang didn't expect that there would be so many begging people in Yueyang County, shook his head and sighed, and asked passers-by before heading towards the city. Seeing that there were many pedestrians in the city, the four of them also turned over and dismounted, leading the horses forward.
When the four of them walked half a pillar of incense in the city, they saw a four-story restaurant in front of them, and a plaque was hung at the door, with the title "Tianxiang Building". Seeing that the destination had arrived, the four of them hurriedly looked around for the person who kidnapped Lian Gui and Yin Su'e. The four of them saw that the people on the side of the road were all in a hurry, and no one stepped forward to take care of them, and they didn't know where the kidnapper was hiding.
Just as the four of them were looking for it, a junior two ran out of the restaurant, looked at the four of them for a while, and said, "The four are Xu Yang, Ma Zichen, and Big Tiger and Little Tiger?"
The four nodded yes. The little two said to the four people: "There is a guest officer on the third floor who has been waiting from the morning to the present, and said to the little one, 'If you see four guest officers coming, lead the four guest officers upstairs to talk in detail'." Four guest officers, please!" After speaking, Xiao Er had already led the six horses of the four to the backyard, and the Xiao Er made a gesture of invitation to the four people.
When the four of them saw that the robbers who kidnapped Lian Gui and Yin Su'e were already waiting for them on the third floor, they were furious and strode towards the third floor angrily. When the four of them reached the third floor, it was still early in the morning, and there was only one person sitting upstairs at a round table. The four of them looked at the man, and saw that there was only one person here, and they thought that the other party was a little familiar, as if they had seen it there.
The four of them came to each other's side and immediately surrounded each other. Xu Yang looked at the other party carefully, and suddenly realized that the other party was the leader of the ten masked people he met in the ruined temple.
The robber saw that the four of them had come to his side through gritted teeth, and said, "Don't think we'll meet again." Don't stand, sit down. After speaking, he placed four teacups in front of the four of them and made tea.
Xu Yang saw that the other party was sitting there without fear, sitting beside the other party, and asked straight to the point: "How can you release the two girls?"
"Happy. Brother Xu, I have learned your methods, and I also believe that you can kill me here without much effort, and you can successfully leave here safely without knowing it. So, I'm the only one here today to negotiate with you. I won't talk nonsense with you, as long as you hand over 100,000 taels of silver, I will release your two women, how about it? If you are not willing, then you will think about the result slowly. The robber said.
Xu Yang heard the other party's lion open his mouth and ask him for 100,000 taels of silver, but he only had 10,000 taels, which was far from the target price that the other party said. Xu Yang saw the other party sipping tea, and sneered: "What a big breath! I have always been the only one who has the idea of beating others, but I never thought that I would be calculated by others today." I want to persuade you to let the two girls go as soon as possible, otherwise, even if I set foot in Yueyang County, I will search for the two girls, and I will destroy you. Don't say it's 100,000 taels of silver, even if it's a tael of silver, I won't give it to you. ”
"Brother Xu is really a hero! The way he speaks is so domineering. I also know that in addition to your skills, you also know some spells, and you will definitely try your best to find the two girls. I might as well tell you, even if you turn Yueyang County upside down, you still want to find the whereabouts of the two girls. If I hadn't gone back at noon, maybe my subordinates would have sent the two daughters back to the West, and then they would have liked to see them again. The robber said.
