Chapter Seventy-Six: Yan Shu

The boat travels north along the canal. On this day, the ship will arrive in Tongzhou. Wei Chunhua asked Xiang Yan and Shuang'er to hide in their room and didn't let them go outside. In the evening, Wei Chunhua returned to the room and said to Xiang Yan and Shuang'er: "I have drunk Wu Zhirong and his men, you go and kill him!" ”

When Xiang Yan and Shuang'er arrived at the cabin, they found Wu Zhirong and his men staggered on the boat, but there was not much alcohol on them. It seems that most of them were put down by Wei Chunhua with drugs.

Xiang Yan took out the waist knife of a servant and slashed it on Wu Zhirong's neck for a long time, but he didn't dare to use it. Shuang'er waited impatiently, pulled out the waist knife from the other servant, raised the knife in his hand, and slashed at Wu Zhirong's neck, and Wu Zhirong's head fell to the ground with a "bang". Xiang Yan was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he fell down, and it took a while to recover. Shuang'er took out another piece of cloth and wrapped Wu Zhirong's head.

Wei Chunhua sent Xiang Yan and Shuang'er to abandon the ship and go ashore. On the way, Shuang'er asked Xiang Yan again: "Xiang Gongzi, let's just leave, is Mrs. really okay?" I'm a little worried about my wife. Xiang Yan said: "Don't worry. As long as the aunt insisted that she was also stunned, she didn't know anything, for Xiaobao's sake, no one would tell her what to do. Besides, the pedestrians on the road could see that the two of us got off the boat wearing the clothes of the servant, and the servant had nothing to do with my aunt. ”

Hurry all the way to the dealer's compound. Shuang'er said in front of the door: "Xiang Gongzi, I will take Wu Zhirong's head to see the third young grandmother first, and you wait at the door first." Xiang Yan said, "Okay." You go in! ”

After Shuang'er pushed the door into the house, Xiang Yan thought to herself: "I heard Xiaobao say that the women and children of this dealer have never seen outsiders, but I still have a little kindness to them. Although Ao Bai and Wu Zhirong were not killed by my own hands, I also played a part in killing them. After Chen Jinnan helped me detoxify, if he refused to accept me into the Heaven and Earth Society, I wonder if I could ask for a place here with this kindness? ”

After a long time, Shuang'er came out with a delicate and quiet, very well-behaved girl, and said, "Young Master Yan, the third young grandmother is planning to move, and it is inconvenient to see you." ”

Suddenly, the window opened, and an old woman's voice behind the curtain said: "Xiang Xianggong, you killed the traitors Ao Bai and Wu Zhirong, and avenged the blood and hatred of our family, great kindness, I don't know how to repay it." Xiang Yan was taken aback, felt creepy, and hurriedly said, "No...... You're welcome, the little emperor himself planned to kill Aobai, and Wu Zhirong was killed by Uncle Wei and Shuang'er, and I can't live with or without Aobai and Wu Zhirong. ”

Another woman's voice said: "Xiang Xianggong, your great kindness is really difficult to repay, you should be treated well, it is reasonable." It's just that the widow is quite inconvenient, so everyone discusses, gives some small gifts, and talks about the heart. Shu'er has followed me for many years, and she has done things properly, so we gave it to Engong, please take it, and serve Engong from now on. ”

After that the windows closed and the sound died down. Xiang Yan choked in his heart, and suddenly wanted to cry without tears, and said in his heart: "This is the end?" Don't ask me what I want? These people don't even want to see me, and they certainly don't want to take me in. So I can only pin my hope on the Heaven and Earth Society? ”

When he was melancholy, he suddenly heard Shuang'er say urgently: "Xiang Gongzi, Shu'er is very good, don't want her." Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment, only to see Shu'er lower her head, tears rolling down her eyes. Xiang Yan hurriedly said: "Shu'er, it's not that I don't like you, I'm unhappy about other things." You can follow me in the future! ”

Xiang Yan felt bitter in his heart, and rushed to Wutai Mountain with Shuang'er and Shu'er. After a while, I saw a woman in white in the distance, with a melon seed face, crooked eyebrows, and a phoenix with sorrowful eyes, about thirty years old, an extremely beautiful female nun with Wei Xiaobao walking towards her.

Xiang Yan and Shuang'er were very happy to come forward to greet Wei Xiaobao. Wei Xiaobao said: "Why are you here?" Shuang'er talked about killing Wu Zhirong with Xiang Yan and Wei Chunhua, and said: "Xiang Gongzi and I took Wu Zhirong's head to worship them in front of the old lady and the eldest young master, so the third young grandmother gave Shu'er's sister to Xiang Gongzi to repay Xiang Gongzi's great kindness." We were about to go to Wutai Mountain to find Brother Mao to help Xiang Gongzi detoxify, but we didn't expect to meet Xianggong on the road. Wei Xiaobao sighed: "You don't have to go to Wutai Mountain, you can't find Brother Mao and them on Wutai Mountain." ”

After Zen Master Hao Cong reported the news of Princess Jianning in Shaolin Temple to the court, the emperor sent a holy decree, ordering Wei Xiaobao and Princess Jianning to take the eighteen Arhats of Shaolin Temple to Wutai Mountain to meet the old emperor. The emperor rushed to Wutai Mountain ahead of schedule, and the people of Tiandihui and Mu Wangfu were caught off guard, and after discussion, they decided not to wait for reinforcements to arrive and forcibly assassinate Kangxi. There were a large number of Qing soldiers, and the Tiandihui and Mu Wangfu were understaffed, and they were surrounded by the Qing army without even seeing Kangxi's face.

At a critical time, the nuns in white fell from the sky and took Kangxi directly, and the guards were shocked, and hurriedly gave up the siege of Tiandihui and Mu Wangfu, and everyone rushed over to rescue him. The nun in white expected that she would not be able to kill Kangxi, so she arrested Wei Xiaobao and fled, and later learned that Wei Xiaobao had contact with the Heaven and Earth Society and Mu Wangfu before planning to let Wei Xiaobao leave. It just so happened that the nun in white was coming to the capital, so Wei Xiaobao came with her. It's just that I don't know what happened to the people of Heaven and Earth and Mu Wangfu.
