Chapter 13 Hu Fei used a trick to cross the mountain, and a real person saved his apprentices

But it was said that Yang Yi killed Zhu Youren, Hu Fei ascended the position of the owner of the village, and ordered the village, everyone was dissatisfied with Zhu Youren on weekdays, but they were afraid of his power and did not dare to speak. Shang Xuhu also had to meet Siniang, and he was very happy to see that his junior sister and Xiao Qiji were safe and sound. Hu Fei slaughtered pigs and sheep for several days to arrange a banquet, and treated Shang Xuhu for two or three days, and Shang Xuhu was about to resign, but Hu Fei and Yang Yi did not allow it. Hu Feiyan said: "I know that Brother Shang is urging me to do something, and I don't dare to keep it, but now the road is not smooth, and my brother has a lawsuit for his life, so he left in a hurry, I am afraid that there will be a mistake, how can I teach the brothers to rest assured?" ”

Shang Xuhu replied: "Brother walks the rivers and lakes, but with the long sword in his hand. Rest assured, it's all right. When leaving, my brother entrusted me to agree on a two-month date, and I dare not delay, I hope you will forgive me. When I return, the mountains and rivers will reunite, and you and I will talk about brotherhood again! ”

Hu Fei said: "Since this is the case, we will not force it to stay." It's just that there are many things nowadays, I don't know what the wind is? acted rashly, but was afraid of causing trouble again. Brother, stay for two more days, I will send someone to the nearby states and counties to inquire about the news, and when there is a return, the arrangements are appropriate, and it is not too late to leave! ”

Shang Xuhu saw that everyone was struggling to stay, so he stopped forcing him to go, and promised everyone: "Only stay for two days." As soon as the two days are over, no matter what, you have to get up, and you can't afford to delay any longer! Hu Fei listened and said: "Listen to my brother's orders!" So he sent a sentry to infiltrate the nearby states and counties to inquire about the news. So the whole wine banquet was repeated, and the brothers drank freely, no problem.

These two days are like a white horse, and they are just around the corner. Shang Xuhu came to the owner of the village again to say goodbye, Hu Feiyan said: "After a little report, all the states and counties are all notices of arresting the elder brother, and the shopkeeper of the 'Coming and Going Inn' is the brother of the concubine of Liu County in Shanyang. You killed this person, Liu County Ling is looking for you day and night, vowing to avenge his wife and brother, but how can it be good? ”

Shang Xu Hu said: "Is there any other way to Xichuan?" Hu Feiyan said: "This is five or six hundred miles away from Xichuan, and Shanyang County is the only way to go. Through this pass, you will be a horse Pingchuan, if you take a fast horse, it will not take ten days to reach Xichuan. If you bypass this road, you will have to return to Jeju, and choose the north to the west, which is twice the distance, and the mountains are vertical and horizontal, and the road is difficult to travel, so I am afraid that you will not be able to reach it without half a load. ”

Shang Xuhu listened, and felt sad in his heart, he had agreed with Brother Wenyu for a two-month period, wouldn't such a trip be a mistake? After pondering for a long time, he said: "What about the defense of Shanyang County?" I walk day and night, and when they are not prepared, the killing will pass. As long as the virtuous brother prepares me with two good horses, after passing Shanyang County, one horse Pingchuan, the officers and soldiers categorically chase me! ”

Hu Fei admired his brother's courage after listening to it, but how could this be a comprehensive strategy? He was able to let him be single and risky, and hurriedly said: "Brother Hugh has to be careful, the border wall of Shanyang County is high, the city gate is strong, and there are thousands of people to garrison, even if my brother is brave, how can it be easy to pass the test if there are junior sisters and young children involved?" Let me plan to ensure that my brother passes safely. ”

Shang Xuhu was speechless when he heard it, but he had nothing to do, and he was secretly worried. Hu Fei pondered for a long time, his sad face gradually relaxed, and he whispered to Shang Xuhu: So so! Shang Xuhu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a hearty smile: "Brother Xian's plan is very good! So the two of them discussed and decided, and each of them prepared, but they waited for tomorrow to act according to the plan and go to the gate of Shanyang County.

On the morning of the second day, Hu Fei called the cottage henchmen and divided them into three groups. Yang Yi led a team of horse dealers, led a few good horses, and waited through the city first, thinking that he would answer. Hu Fei led a team to adapt to the situation and responded on the side. Shang Xuhu and others pretended to be ordinary people, only to visit relatives in the city, and the camera passed through the customs in a foolish way. The explanation was clear, and everyone took the order and left.

Let's say that Yang Yi and his entourage arrived at the pass, the city guards bravely held knives and martial law, posted entry and exit bans on the wall, and there were bounty announcements, painted with the appearance of bandits, and one person was quite similar to Shang Xuhu, and the reward was 100 silver. Coincidentally, there was a mountain right merchant gathering to enter the city, and as usual, he presented a silver ticket for customs clearance. So he also showed a little kindness, filial piety to some officers and soldiers, and the gatekeeper checked the portrait of the announcement, and saw that the height, age, appearance, and appearance were not similar, so he did not make any difficulties, and passed the test smoothly. Wait outside the city as early as possible.

In addition, when the other two groups of people arrived at the entrance to the city, they saw that the inspection was very strict, and they asked for people according to the map, but if there were similar people, they were immediately taken into custody and tied up in the county jail, where they were judged by interrogation. Shang Xuhu and his sister pretended to be fleeing civilians and came to the city gate under the cover of everyone. It's just that he didn't dare to approach, but he was afraid of recognizing his appearance, so he had to mix in the crowd of displaced people and move with his camera.

At this time, I saw a group of people coming in the distance, driving two carriages, and when they arrived in front of the city, a person got down from the carriage, dressed as a local squire, and said to everyone: "My lord is a wealthy gentleman in Hedong, quite a family business, but he is over fifty years old, and he has no children under his knees. My lord is kind, so he wants to scatter some of his property and help the displaced people. There were the most displaced people at the gate of this city, so they sent me to bring cloth and silver and scatter them among the people. ”

When the homeless people heard this, they all surrounded the wagons and fought for money and cloth. The gatekeepers are all poor, and seeing this windfall is really a great thing, so are you willing to miss it? So they all came over and snatched it. The squire stopped and said, "My lord commands: only to help those poor people." How can you wait for the official to receive it? ”

Those soldiers who could say a lot of things, they all pushed aside the crowd, rushed bravely, and said: "Even if it is a good deed, we are also poor, how can we not accept it?" The squire couldn't stop it, so he had to let the soldiers scramble, the refugees fight, and make a mess, Shang Xuhu and Lu Siniang took the opportunity to cross the pass and enter the city gate. When the squire saw that the tiger had entered the city gate, he ordered his family to guard the carriage, and said loudly: "Slow down, don't rob and fight, now the help is over, and I will come here again tomorrow!" ”

The crowd was still unsatisfied, and they vied with each other: "You have two cars of money, but only one car is scattered, what is the use of the other car?" Since you want to do good deeds, you might as well disperse them all! In this way, the merit will also appear to be complete, and your master will definitely have a full family of children and grandchildren! ”

The gentry invited the leader of the city gate guard on duty, bowed down and said: "The military master doesn't know, my lord explained: 'These two carts of money, one cart for the displaced people outside the city, and the other for the people in the city'. It is a secret teaching by a high monk, and he does not dare to disobey it. Please let me enter the city. ”

The military master has also received a lot of money, and it is difficult to refuse. So he said: "Since it is to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, it is difficult for us to stop it." It's just that the government is arresting key criminals, and our duty is to dare not show favoritism. I have to aggrieve you and wait for the temporary inspection, and when the inspection is understood, I will let you and others enter the city. The gentleman said, "Of course, it should be checked!" These people are all members of the house, how can there be any official criminals? Please check carefully! ”

The soldiers had a windfall, and it was just a matter of routine, and after a little inspection, they were allowed to enter the city. However, he said that the gentry was pretended to be Hu Fei, and his party entered the city to see Shang Xuhu, and saw notices of arresting Shang Xuhu posted everywhere in the city. Therefore, I didn't dare to stay, and went straight to the west gate, that Shanyang is a small county, the city is not big, and I came to the west gate out of the city in less than half an hour.

Hu Fei ordered people to help the people at the city gate, and the guards came to rob it. But there was a leader among the soldiers, with a great figure and extraordinary bearing, and when he saw this, he shouted, "We have the duty to guard the door, how can we take care of the people's property and rob them?" Then he commanded all the soldiers to inspect the whole army, and not to neglect the ministry. However, the soldiers have been disorganized and cannot be stopped. So Na Zuo Ling himself and a few soldiers stood under the city gate, and no passers-by were allowed to pass, only to be checked one by one later.

Hu Fei saw that his wealth was about to run out, but he still had to be a tiger and couldn't get out of the city gate. So he summoned a few henchmen and gave one or two orders. So the men pretended to be the people, and they fought while plundering their goods. The fight was inextricable for a while, and he deliberately went around to the front of Na Zuo Ling and snatched the blade. Nasa was furious, and led his soldiers to stop him. At the time of chaos, Shang Xuhu and Lu Siniang sneaked out of the city. Hu Fei saw that Shang Xuhu had left, so he glanced at it, and those henchmen sneaked out of the crowd and scattered in the alleys, disappearing.

Shangxuhu got out of the city gate, Yang Yi waited for a long time, then changed his outfit, prepared all the plates, took a fast horse, and rushed to Xichuan in the starry night. But he said that the road was smooth, fast, coiled and footed, and it was not a problem to stay in the store. However, it was a few days before I arrived at the boundary of Xichuan. It's just that the child suffered all the way, and Xiao Qi's illness was already weak, and he suffered from the wind and cold, and he was very sick. It's easy to get to the Liang Mansion, and it's already dying, which is really pitiful.

When he arrived outside the gate of the Liang Mansion, he said to the door: "Jeju's old friend Shinzan has sent someone to visit, please report it." The man told the master. Liang Shouxin listened and hurriedly ordered someone to invite the two to come in. Shang Xuhu handed over Xin Zan's letter, telling him about the situation in Jeju, and the Xin family was in danger! When Liang Shouxin heard this, he burst into tears and said: "The old man and Lord Xin are irreversible friends, and they were together in the same year, and they participated in the government together, and they were introduced as confidants of life and death!" Last year, I went to Jeju to visit an old friend, and I still knew that I was married, and I intended to marry Qin Jin. Unexpectedly, such a disaster occurred now. Since the old friend trusts him, he will treat him like his own children and grandchildren, and keep him safe! ”

However, he said that Xiao Qi's illness was getting worse day by day, and Liang Shouxin invited good doctors from Xichuan, but the cold disease was deep in the bones, and there was no magic trick. Seeing that Xiao Qi's illness was sleepy all day long, and the high fever did not go away, Liang Shouxin and his wife were anxious, but they were helpless. One afternoon, there was a cloud wandering Taoist who came to the house to fast. When the man had finished his meal, he said, "Blessed are the great ones who are willing to give." But I look at the anger of the adults, it seems that there is something difficult to solve? Poor Dao is a little bit of medicine and Taoism, and he likes to save people the most, or he can solve the worries of adults! ”

Liang Shouxin was overjoyed when he heard this, and saw that the man's beard was like snow, his hair was like frost, he was wearing a Qingluo Taoist robe, holding a jade handle to whisk the dust, and he was a fairy-like figure, so he said: "As the fairy road said, I have a grandson, who is infected with the wind and cold, and it is difficult to cure it for a long time. But if you save your life, you will be rewarded with a lot of money! The Taoist smiled and said, "Those who cultivate do not need gold, silver, and money. Wait for me to see Ling Sun, if there is fate, I won't take a penny; If he doesn't have a chance, it's ten thousand taels of gold, and he can't be saved. ”

So he took the Taoist into the room to visit the little abandonment. The Taoist looked at his appearance, touched his bones, and said: "This child looks handsome, and his bones are amazing, but he is a star in the sky, but he is born from time to time, and his life is difficult, and he is destined for poverty." The poor road is the real person of Nanhua Mountain, and the number of days is destined to have a master-apprentice fate with here. I have a piece of rune paper, please burn the paper water, so that he can drink it, and the disease will get better in the future! ”

Liang Shouxin ordered someone to take out a hundred taels of gold to thank the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest insisted that he would not accept it. When parting, he took out a seven-treasure Taiji jade pendant and said: "This pendant is a talisman treasure, the innate ancient jade is mined, Ziwei casts the spell, the Xingjun is carved and grinded, the subtle and mysterious Tao is hidden inside, and the supreme law seal is engraved outside, and it can be worn on the child to keep him safe." When he is older, he will teach him to come to Nanhua Mountain to find me, and he will teach him his skills. "Words, go out and drift away, and there is no trace.

Besides, Xiao Qijian drank Fu Shui, and his illness was cured in a short time. Liang Shouxin was happy and ordered his wife to put the jade pendant given by the Taoist on Xiao Qiji's body. Instructed the housekeeper to invite a virtuous nurse nearby, and settle the lady to take care of the little abandonment, live and eat carefully, and never have any more accidents. Shang Xuhu and Siniang saw that Xiao Xin abandoned his illness and recovered, so they said goodbye to Liang Shouxin, rushed back to Jeju on horseback, and returned to their senior brother Xin Wenyu.
