Chapter 5: Escape from the Tiger's Mouth (2)
Xu Youdao, the magistrate of the county government, hurriedly came to see Cao Jixiang, and he was respectful, and said with a smile: "It is really an honor for Gonggong Cao to come to this county." ”
Cao Jixiang said with a smile: "Lord Xu, the old slave came this time to eliminate the Hongyan Sect, and he may stay in your county for a while, dealing with the flower butterfly, and I still rely on your help." ”
Xu Youdao said with a smile: "Although the father-in-law orders, the officials obey the orders." ”
Cao Jixiang said: "The cell has been strictly guarded for the past few days, I think the flower butterfly will definitely come, and when the time comes, we will set up a net to let her come and go." ”
Xu Youdao exclaimed: "What, the flower butterfly will come to my county office, that's not trivial, my father-in-law doesn't know, this flower butterfly is ruthless, and her martial arts are extremely strong, killing people without blinking, no one here in Henan dares to offend her." ”
Cao Jixiang said angrily: "Waste, if it weren't for the fact that you bastards were not doing well, and you couldn't even handle a flower butterfly, could the emperor send me, such a far place, it took me five days to arrive, the emperor was very unhappy about this matter, if it wasn't done well, even my head wouldn't be protected, Lord Xu." ”
Xu Youdao was shocked by what he said, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law is angry, the lower official must work hard to assist the father-in-law to catch the flower butterfly, what does the father-in-law need, just open his mouth, human and financial resources, the lower official must be prepared, and ask the father-in-law to say a few kind words in front of the emperor." ”
Cao Jixiang said: "Okay, don't say more about sycophants, do something practical, you go to the cell first, set up a trap, and then come back, I still have orders." ”
Xu Youdao retreated.
Shen Jiannan didn't speak in the cell, just sat in the corner in a daze.
Hua Yumeng asked: "Shen Jiannan, why don't you speak, what's going on these days, since you came back, you haven't said a word to me, did I offend you." ”
Shen Jiannan said coldly: "How can you offend me, it's just that you are the daughter of the female devil, so I don't dare to get close to you." ”
Hua Yumeng said angrily: "It turns out that it's because of this, what does it matter, do you think I look like a bad person, I told you a long time ago, I have no ill will towards you, why don't you believe me." ”
Shen Jiannan said: "You have no malice now, who knows if there will be any in the future, people's hearts are belly, this is not accurate." ”
Hua Yumeng was angry and annoyed, and said: "You idiot, it's unreasonable, what have I done to you these days, I sent you water and food, and I saved you today, but I was also arrested, if I want to do bad to you, what am I doing here, you are a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and you don't know the hearts of good people." ”
Shen Jiannan said angrily: "You scolded me for being a dog? ”
Hua Yumeng hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, I'm not scolding you, I'm just making an analogy, what I want to say is that I am a good person, you don't have to be suspicious of me, besides, you see that you have a clean breeze on your sleeves, what is worth my plot." ”
Shen Jiannan carefully weighed it, and analyzed what she said, she was in such a field, and there was nothing worthy of her attempt, and said with a smile: "Yes, what you said is also right, I misunderstood you, it seems that you are not the same as your mother, I really don't understand, that vicious mother, how can there be such a kind daughter as you." ”
Hua Yumeng said: "Actually, my mother is not as vicious as outsiders say, but she acts a little more extremely, and my mother also has a kind side." ”
Shen Jiannan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, how did you say that the people from Dongchang suddenly found the Hongyan Sect, just in time for your mother's absence, could it be that someone is informing?" ”
Hua Yumeng hesitated and said, "No, who can have such a great ability, even the reality of our Hongyan Sect is known." ”
Shen Jiannan was suspicious and said, "Do you think it will be that Shangguan Wuxian, he knows the place of the Hongyan Sect, and he also has a holiday with your mother." ”
Hua Yumeng said: "If you say so, it is also possible that last time my mother went to the Yinyang Gate to make a fuss, he must have held a grudge, so this time while my mother was away, he attracted this group of dogs." ”
Shen Jiannan said: "It seems that this Shangguan Wuxian is not a good thing. ”
Hua Yumeng smiled: "You don't have to worry, my mother is so powerful, if she knows, she will definitely come to kill these dogs, you don't know about the things in the rivers and lakes, there are really a lot of insidious and vicious people, you have only seen a few, you can experience it in the future." Shen Jiannan smiled coldly and said, "I still haven't experienced it well." ”
Xu Youdao came to the cell, and saw that these two people were still laughing, so he stepped forward and said with a hypocritical smile: "Yo, you are all locked up in the cell, and you can still laugh so calmly, you really have a lot of heart." ”
Hua Yu got angry when she dreamed of this dog official, and shouted: "Dog official, don't be complacent, my mother will come to save us immediately, when the time comes, be careful when your head moves, which side you stand on, you weigh it yourself." ”
Xu Youdao said with a smile: "You girl is very good-mouthed, Gonggong Cao has already set up an ambush, just wait for your mother to come, and then arrest you and send you to the capital together." ”
Shen Jiannan panicked and asked, "What you said is true, there is really an ambush here." ”
Xu Youdao smiled: "That's still fake, young man, it's a pity, you are so young, you are going to die." ”
Shen Jiannan said: "Hey, it doesn't matter if you die, it's just that my mother will be very worried, I've been out for many days, and I haven't gone home to visit my mother, I don't know how worried she is, I don't know if you can let me go home." ”
Xu Youdao said with a smile: "Let you go home, okay, you kill this little girl first." ”
Hua Yumeng scolded: "Dog officer, let him kill me, don't think about it, don't say that he can't kill me, even if he can, he won't do it." ”
Xu Youdao said: "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here, I still have to set traps." He walked away again.
Hua Butterfly came back, walked into the cave, and saw that these few sect members were lying on the ground, they must be dead, and then looked at a few people from Dongchang and a few Jinyi guards lying next to them, knowing that Dongchang was committing, he was angry at the moment, and said: "Okay, you Cao Jixiang, you actually killed me in the Hongyan Sect, it's so presumptuous, I have to take off your head." As he spoke, he rushed out of the cave door.
A person sprang out of the woods next to him, looked at the back of the flower butterfly leaving, and laughed loudly, and said: "Haha, Hua Butterfly, let you go against me, and I will also let you taste the pain of losing your relatives, Zhang Yuanwai's family was killed by me with your name, and this account will be counted on your head, I have a superb plan to kill people with a knife." When the man had finished speaking, he slipped into the grass again and disappeared.
Hua Butterfly pursued all the way, learned that Hua Yumeng was locked up in the county, so he grabbed a horse to kill, came to the yamen, without saying a word, took out the willow leaf flying needle, threw it casually, several guards were killed, and then kicked open the door, rushed in, as soon as he entered the door, he hugged out countless knives and axes, and there were many archers squatting on the wall, and suddenly trapped the flower butterfly in the middle.
Hua Butterfly sneered and said, "You scumbags, do you still want to stop me!" ”
Cao Jixiang walked out from behind everyone and said with a smile: "Flower Butterfly, today you are throwing yourself into the net, these equipment are specially prepared for you." ”
Hua Butterfly said: "Cao Jixiang, you are not small, you dare to go to the Hongyan Sect to spread wild, I think you don't want your head." ”
Cao Jixiang said: "You are too arrogant, this place in Henan has made you kill a lot of people, the day before yesterday, no one in Zhang Yuanwai's family was killed, and you killed them, doing such a big thing, if I don't come, then I can pay it back!" ”
Hua Butterfly was shocked and asked: "What do you say, Zhang Yuanwai's family has no live mouth, I killed it, I haven't been to the town at all in the past few days, which eye of you saw that I killed it, say it, I will use a flying needle to blind it." ”
Cao Jixiang said: "Don't quibble, today I will see how capable you are to escape from my father-in-law." ”
Flower butterfly did not wait for Cao Jixiang to move, took out the willow leaf flying needle from his arms, secretly held in his hand, and waited for the knife and axe hand to come up, then shot out of these flying needles, these knife and axe hands were not guarded, one hand was in the middle, and then died, and then the flower butterfly, jumped to the roof, made the eagle ghost claw, from west to east a scratch, the archers on the wall all fell, turned and jumped down, directly this Cao Jixiang came, did not wait to come to the front, a big net appeared in front of him, the pavilion stopped, the flower butterfly took a few steps back, flew through the big net, at this time Cao Jixiang had run away.
Hua Butterfly went straight to the cell, and when she came to the cell, she happened to meet Xu Youdao, and she also set a trap there, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
Hua Butterfly stepped forward, grabbed his head, and said, "Where are you locking people?" ”
Xu Youdao's frightened soul was scattered, and he hurriedly led Hua Butterfly to this cell, only to see Shen Jiannan and Hua Yumeng sitting in it safely, so he scattered Xu Youdao, flew forward, grabbed the cell door with two claws, and pulled Hua Yumeng out, and Shen Jiannan followed closely behind.
At this time, the outside of the cell was full of people, Hua Butterfly was naturally not afraid, but this Shen Jiannan didn't know martial arts, and there was nowhere to hide, wouldn't he suffer, at this time Jin Yiwei had already attacked, Hua Butterfly and Hua Yumeng grabbed left and right, Shen Jiannan had to hide behind him, Jin Yiwei also saw that Shen Jian didn't know martial arts, it was easy to catch him, and they came to capture him, Hua Yumeng naturally protected him, so he didn't let him lose, but Hua Yumeng's martial arts were mediocre, how could he have many opponents, Hua Butterfly was too busy to deal with him, he had no time to care about him, and he was about to be captured, and at this time an old man ran on the roof, Killed the two brocade guards, jumped onto the roof with Shen Jiannan in his arms, and escaped.
Hua Butterfly saw that someone had rescued Shen Jiannan, so she hurriedly pulled Hua Yumeng and went around, looking for this old man.
The old man dragged Shen Jiannan to a deserted place outside the town, Shen Jiannan had just escaped from the thrill, he was overjoyed, and said, "Grandpa, thank you for saving me, I don't know what you call it?" ”
The old man smiled: "You call me grandpa, it seems that I am really old, twenty years have passed in a flash, and you have grown so big in a blink of an eye!" ”
Shen Jiannan was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Grandpa, what are you talking about, why can't I understand it?" ”
The old man said: "In this way, you take me back to your house, and I will tell you again." ”
Shen Jiannan thought to himself, he hadn't been home for a few days, this old man said this, just right, with his protection, he could get home safely, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm about to go home, you can go back with me, let my mother cook a few side dishes, thank you." ”
Shen Jiannan took the old man, climbed over the mountains and mountains, walked for three days, and returned home, Jiannanniang was overjoyed and said: "Jiannan, you are finally back, why did you sell firewood for so many days, I was so worried about my mother, I thought something happened on the road." ”
Shen Jiannan smiled: "Mother, I made you worried, I did encounter some trivial things on the road, but I was safe and sound." ”
Seeing that there was an old man standing behind Shen Jiannan, Jian Nanniang hurriedly asked, "Who is this uncle?" ”
Shen Jiannan hurriedly introduced and said, "It was this old man who saved me, mother, we have to thank him well." ”
The old man stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?" ”
Jian Nanniang's spirit was shocked, and after hearing these words, she seemed to be very relieved, and then asked in a tentative tone: "You, are you Qu Daxia?" ”
The old man took off his hat and said with a smile: "It's exactly below." ”
It turned out that this old man was Qu Aofeng twenty years ago.
Jian Nanniang was shocked, and then rejoiced, and asked: "Qu Daxia, didn't you die twenty years ago, why are you still alive?" ”
Qu Aofeng said with a smile: "That's just my golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell, if I don't do that, how can I escape the pursuit of the Liaodong Five Tigers and the imperial court." ”
Shen Jiannan was confused and asked, "It turns out that you know each other, what the hell is going on." ”
Both of them looked at Shen Jiannan, with unspeakable words in their hearts, and a trace of sadness on their faces.
Jian Nanniang said: "This was twenty years ago, come, let's sit in the house first, and then talk slowly." ”
When the three of them came to the house, Qu Aofeng asked, "Sister-in-law, where is my eldest brother?" ”
Jian Nanniang said bitterly: "My husband died of illness eighteen years ago. ”
Qu Aofeng was sad for a while, and said: "It's really hard for you in the past eighteen years. ”
Jian Nanniang smiled: "Hey, since your eldest brother died, I have been dependent on Jian Nan for my life, although the days are not easy, but I have also come, but I don't know how you have spent the past 20 years." ”
