Chapter 67: The Battle of Shanzhou, a trap
Sure enough, when Gu Liangfu and the others arrived at the post station in the center of Shanzhou City, they were all cleaned up and the scene was arranged not long after. The Foreign Minister and Qin Xiaowei and the others rushed to the gate of the post station, their movements were really fast, if they were a little slower, Gu Liangfu and the others would be late in arranging.
On the first floor of the post station are several square tables for eating, directly opposite is the counter of the shopkeeper to settle accounts, and there is a staircase next to it to the second floor. On the second floor are the guest rooms where these officials live. Gu Liangfu and the others are completely ready.
Just as the four of them, including the captain of Qin and the envoy minister, stepped into the gate of the post station, a large net was suddenly cast above the store. In the middle of this lightning and flint, this Captain Qin reacted extremely quickly, he pushed out with both palms, and directly pushed the two Yu Lin Wei and the envoy minister out of the gate of the post station. The net cast from above caught him alone, and he shouted, "Hurry up and escort the envoy minister out of here, and I will stop you here." ”
The other two Yulin guards got up from the ground at once, picked up the envoy and ran to the back of the stable.
Captain Qin was covered by a large net at the door, and at this time, several black-clothed people who accompanied Yu Gu Liangfu came from different parts of the house. Gu Liangfu walked down from the upper floor and said sharply, "Don't let them run away, you guys hurry up and chase after them." ”
The two closest to the door immediately got up and chased after them. Captain Qin sneered at this time and said, "Just because of this broken net, you want to trap me?" It's too underestimated. After speaking, he shook hard, and suddenly the big net was torn open. The two black-clothed men who had just run to Captain Qin's side were caught off guard, and were directly pushed back by Captain Qin. Then he pulled out the knife at his waist and guarded the gate.
Several black-clothed men slowly approached Captain Qin, and he shouted, "Who are you?" Dare to hit the idea of the court officials so boldly, are you not afraid of being wanted and hunted down by the court? ”
Gu Liangfu, who was dressed as a man in black, suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, Qin Hui'an, it's really extraordinary." It's all like this, and you can still maintain this bearing. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said, "Qin Hui An Lieutenant Qin, if you are interested, hand over the Jianghu Order, we won't embarrass you, how about leaving you alive?" ”
Qin Hui'an shouted, "Presumptuous." The officials of the imperial court, the Janissary Yulin Army, you dare to move, you have no king's law, and you are deliberately looking for death? Besides, we don't know what Jianghu Ling is and what it looks like, so how can we start handing it over to you? Besides, it's useless to give us this thing, so you who know each other should obediently tie your hands and arrest it. ”
Another man in black drew his sword and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense with him, kill him first." After speaking, he jumped several feet high and went straight to Qin Hui'an.
Qin Hui'an saw that the person who came was magnificent, and he didn't dare to slack off, when this person was about to jump, Qin Hui'an stretched out a kick and kicked him directly, and several people in black immediately swarmed behind.
Five of the six black-clothed men rushed forward, and one of them had already been kicked away by Qin Hui'an. Gu Liangfu didn't rush to make a move, he has always been a sure person, just standing quietly at the farthest point to observe, he wanted to see clearly how many catties and taels this captain named Qin Hui'an had. However, I didn't expect that a person at the level of a mere captain would have such ability, which is really unexpected. But no matter how tough it is, it's just a dying struggle.
The other four men in black rushed in front of Qin Hui'an, and Qin Hui'an defeated four with one enemy, and knocked the four down with just a few moves. Gu Liangfu didn't want a small Yulin Army soldier to have such kung fu, and he was also surprised to see this scene. He immediately drew his sword, and a swift arrow leaped out.
When Gu Liangfu met these black-clothed people, he knew that their experience might be similar to his own. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he had to resort to Lingyun Pavilion's swordsmanship "Chongyun Sword Technique", this swordsmanship has thirteen styles, each style has three moves, and there are a total of one hundred and eight variations in the thirty-six moves. Fortunately, I had a fight with the master of Lingyun Pavilion a few years ago, although there was no way to reproduce it in terms of internal strength, but at that time, I also learned all the moves of this swordsmanship with the incomplete "Replica Divine Skill".
Qin Hui'an took the saber in his hand and took Gu Liangfu's attack alive. Although Qin Hui'an can catch every move, on the surface, the two of them seem to be equal, but in fact, Qin Hui'an has already riveted all his strength, and Gu Liangfu only used less than seventy percent of his strength.
Just then, suddenly two things flew in from outside the house, interrupting their struggle. Qin Hui looked at it steadily, and it was actually two heads. He exclaimed loudly, "Zhang Fan! Wang Sai! ”
These two heads are the two people who were followed by Gu Liangfu and others before entering Shanzhou, and secretly ordered to investigate the enemy's situation. They are also a good hand of Yu Linwei, and they were cut off by someone.
Qin was not allowed to think about it, and a man in black rushed in outside the door. Gu Liangfu in the house saw it and asked, "Everything is done?" ”
The man in black who had just entered the house said arrogantly, "These two rabbit cubs are very thieves, worthy of Yu Linwei, and it took a little trouble to get it." What about your side? After speaking, he looked at Qin Hui'an, who was hiding on the side.
At this moment, a person came in with the other two heads of Yu Linwei. When Gu Liangfu saw it, he was also shocked, this person turned out to be the envoy minister.
I saw the envoy minister carrying two heads and slowly walking in with the document box containing the request for surrender of the Turquoise Khan of Sulu, "Haven't you done it here?" ”
Listening to this voice, it turned out that this voice was the solemn voice of the person who wore white clothes in West Lake that day. I didn't think he was an ambassador, or the ambassador he pretended to be. No, Gu Liangfu felt that this was too wrong. If Yan Zhuang pretended to be an ambassador, then he had already obtained the "Jianghu Order", and his martial arts were so high, these Yu Linwei were not his opponents at all, he was already successful. So what does this one mean?
But the current situation does not allow him to think too much. Gu Liangfu didn't want Yan Zhuang to notice his abnormality, so he hurriedly said, "It's fast here, but I didn't expect a little lieutenant to be so good at martial arts." After saying that, he approached Qin Hui'an with his saber, and the man in black who came in after taking Zhang Fan and Wang Sai's heads also pulled out his saber and forced Qin Hui'an from the other side.
Gu Liang Fu and the black-clothed companion slowly approached Qin Hui'an, while Yan Zhuang, who was pretending to be the envoy minister, slowly took a few steps back in the opposite direction. It was as if he didn't want to get involved in the fight, just watching the series of things end.
Gu Liang Fu and the others were about to make a move, but Yan Zhuang just retreated to one of the black-clothed men who had just been beaten by Qin Hui An Zhenfei. At this moment, the man in black suddenly jumped up from the ground and hit Yan Zhuang with one palm, and at the same time took the small box in Yan Zhuang's hand with the other hand. Yan Zhuang was hit by this palm and retreated several feet. The man in black who had snatched the box immediately rushed to one of the windows, and one jumped out. All the actions were done in one go, and in a moment they escaped from everyone's sight.
Yan Zhuang immediately shouted, "Don't chase it yet!" ”
Gu Liang Fu and the others still looked at each other, staring at Qin Hui'an in front of them. This happened too suddenly, and Gu Liangfu himself didn't expect this to happen halfway.
Yan Zhuang shouted again, "The things in the box are the most important, go quickly!" ”
Gu Liang and Fu quickly chased them out. Yan Zhuang gasped twice and scolded, "Damn, it's really unlucky to be put on the table." Just as he was about to get up and catch up, Qin Hui'an used a knife to block the way of this pretending envoy minister.
Yan Zhuang was startled and said, "I have spared your dog's life, and you still don't know how to get out of the way?" ”
Qin Hui'an said solemnly, "Who are you?" How could such a thing be done? Tell me what your purpose is? ”
Yan Zhuang sneered, "Do you think you can stop me?" ”
"If you can't stop it, you have to block it, and if you lose your military intelligence, it's also a capital offense for us. Look at the moves! After speaking, Qin Hui'an slashed with a knife.
Yan Zhuang disdained a mere captain, he only turned sideways to gently dodge Qin Hui'an's attack, and while dodging sideways, he gently pushed out a palm. Qin Hui'an was directly pushed into the air for several feet, hitting the side wall, and blood immediately broke out of his mouth. This person is by no means an envoy minister, his martial arts are too strong, and with this light palm, his internal strength is so deep. Qin Hui'an intuitively felt that the qi and blood in his whole body were surging at this time, as if the blood in his whole body was about to explode with a force, and he knew that he had suffered a very serious internal injury.
Yan Zhuang glanced at him with contempt, "Cut, don't measure yourself." And he walked out of the station.
Yan Zhuang, Gu Liangfu and another man in black ran in the direction of the man in black who had grabbed the brocade box before. After running for a while, they slowed down and searched slowly as they waited for their energy to recuperate.
The sun was slowly about to set, and I finally saw some smoke ahead. Was it the betrayer's negligence or a deliberate lure? I can't care about it so much now, so let's go over and take a look.
Soon they slowly approached Qingyan, but when they were about to get closer, Qingyan suddenly disappeared. After walking a few more steps, he actually saw that it was a ruined temple, Gu Liangfu checked the surrounding situation, and came back to report, "We came along this smoke, and there is a horse in the woods behind it, he must have fled here." ”
Yan Zhuang saw that there were still traces of burning in the middle of the yard, he squatted down and touched it, and said with a smile, "It's still hot, he must be hiding, look carefully." ”
They looked around, found nothing, and walked towards the ruined temple. It was dirty, full of dilapidated things, covered in dust and cobwebs. Under normal circumstances, if you want to hide people, you will hide behind clay statues. The mud bodhisattva was so broken that it was impossible to see who it was, and the man in black with an unknown identity walked lightly behind the clay statue. As soon as I took the probe, I found that there was no one behind it, but this probe touched a filament, which instantly touched a small mechanism. The mud bodhisattva's head was pulled by the filament and immediately smashed down. The man in black immediately took a few steps back, not wanting to bump into the old table two steps away. Another filament was touched, and a short cut suddenly shot out of the upper part of the beam.
At this moment, Gu Liangfu drew his saber, and with a thrust, he just hit the short arrow that was about to hit the companion of the man in black. It seemed that the room was full of traps and traps, and the three of them cautiously retreated.
The three of them were going to wait for this person to appear automatically, so why risk touching these mechanisms, they just had to stay at the door. For people who often travel the rivers and lakes, they already know in their hearts who these organs come from. Gu Liang Fu knew that there could be such a trick in this world, who else would there be besides the people of Lingyun Pavilion? Who doesn't know that Lingyun Pavilion Master Yun Mu Nan is not only strong in martial arts, but also in traps.
Since he could guess that the man in black who betrayed him was a person from Lingyun Pavilion, a master like Yan Zhuang should know better. The fellow man in black next to him should also know, and he also suggested that he should not touch these troublesome mechanisms and quit first.
In this way, it slowly consumed until dark, and suddenly a short arrow shot into the sky and exploded into flowers, which turned out to be the signal smoke of a firework. When Yan Zhuang Gu Liang Fu and the others saw this, Gu Liang Fu and the man in black immediately rushed out. But Yan Zhuang went to lead Qin Hui'an's fast horse tied to the woods.
Gu Liang Fu and the others ran quickly towards the north direction of the fireworks, and after a while, they chased after them with a solemn horse. When Yan Zhuang saw the two of them, he hurriedly shouted, "It's a trick, he didn't go in this direction, let's turn around quickly." After saying that, he immediately turned back and rushed in the south direction. Gu Liangfu and the man in black performed light skills and followed closely.
In only half a pillar of incense, they returned to the ruined temple. They were also worried about the mechanism in the broken temple, and it would be difficult to see clearly when it was dark, so they circled around the wall for half a circle to reach the south of the broken temple. Yan Zhuang raised his whip, and the fast horse ran out a few steps, and directly collapsed into a big pit on the ground, and the horse was slaughtered directly. Yan Zhuang's eyes were quick, and at the moment when the fast horse fell, his body was raised, his toes were a little on the horse's back, and he suddenly jumped backwards a few times, and landed handsomely in front of the two people who followed closely.
He smiled lightly, "Carving insect skills, it seems that he only has the ability to trap." However, he must be ahead. As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the mountain to the south. The three of them quickly chased after each other again.
They ran all night, and at last there was no sign of the man who had escaped on a mountain peak. Yan Zhuang, Gu Liang Fu and the man in black, no matter how they look here, they can't find anyone, it's really strange.
Moreover, the short arrow fireworks that the person put off last night were also a distress signal from Lingyun Pavilion, and soon the people from Lingyun Pavilion would come here, and it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time. If this "Jianghu Order" really falls into the hands of Lingyun Pavilion, it will be okay to find a way to take it then.
In this way, the mission ended in failure, and several men in black also dispersed and returned to their original places. This is also the first thing Gu Liang Fu started to do for Yan Zhuang.
……………………
Everyone listened to Gu Liangfu recount a past incident twenty years ago, and they were all thinking about it at this time.
Dan Qiuzi thought for a while, and suddenly found a problem, he asked, "Brother Fu, do you feel that there is something wrong in the whole thing you described?" ”
Gu Liangfu responded with a smile, "Dao Elder is worthy of being Elder Huashan, and his insight is really extraordinary. When I got home, I felt that something was wrong, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong. ”
Gu Liang Nayin asked anxiously, "Daddy, what's wrong?" ”
Gu Liangfu said in a low voice, "Yan Zhuang! ”
