Chapter 31 Escape with wit
121
Long Zixi saw that there were still two days to go, so he discussed with the Fang family brothers, wanting to find out where Naji just lived.
Third Brother Fang asked:
"What is the reason why the young man is looking for that plan? This person is a tyrant of Taiyuan martial arts, treacherous and cunning, but he needs to be guarded against. ”
Long Zixi saw that the four brothers of the Fang family were reliable, so he explained the matter of the sword spectrum to them.
Second Brother Fang said:
"I didn't expect there to be so many festivals. Now it seems that Yin Qiu and they should have arrived before Shaoxia, but I am afraid that Shaoxia will go at this time, and it will be too late. ”
Fang Sange said:
"Young man, listen to me, I have a friend who is on an errand here, so it is better to ask him to listen to the news first, and then make a decision. If you need our brother's help, I will do my best. ”
Longzi West Road:
"In this way, please ask Third Brother Fang to bother."
In the afternoon of the same day, Third Brother Fang led two people to see Long Zixi.
Third Brother Fang introduced one of them:
"This is Zhang Messenger, and he has a deep friendship with Zaixia."
The two of them met the courtesy, and Zhang Chashou pointed to the man beside him:
"Shaoxia wants to know about the situation of Ji Gang, this person is very suitable. He was originally under Ji Gang, his name was Qingxu, and he recently experienced an incident that had a lot to do with what Shaoxia wanted to know. ”
Na Qing Xu said:
"Long Shaoxia has also seen it below, but Shaoxia doesn't know him. I admire the young man's personality very much. Recently, I offended the leader of the Ji gang because of something, and if it wasn't for the merit I had before Xia, I might have been executed a long time ago. It's still a plan to help the master's aunt miss the old love, but the general will be expelled from the next accident. ”
Fang Sange said:
"I don't need to go into details, just say the key thing."
Qing Xu said:
"Yes. Five days ago, the Ji Gang Master came back, but he brought two people, one was an old man at the peak of madness, and the other was a man in his forties, but the man was pointed to the acupoint and did not say a word. ”
Longzi Xixin said:
"Two? One is Yin Jifu, needless to say, and who is the other? ”
He asked, "What does that man in his forties look like?" ”
Qing Xu described.
Long Zixi nodded:
"Yes, it's Manager Pei."
But in my heart I calculated:
"Could it be that Pei Zhen is not dead? It seems that Na Ji just said that Pei Zhen is dead, which is nothing more than making up a lie and blaming me. ”
Listen to Na Qingxu continue:
"When the Ji gang leader came back, he made deployment arrangements, saying that Yin Jifu's son Yin Qiu was coming in the past few days, and Young Master Yin was not a good person, but he was afraid that not only would he not send the sword book, but he would also use force to snatch Yin Jifu. Unexpectedly, the subsequent situation was really not bad as the leader of the Ji gang expected. ”
Longzi Xixin said:
"I was not surprised by this result."
Listen to Na Qingxu continue:
"Three days ago, Yin Qiu led forty or fifty men to Jijiazhuang.
"The two sides were polite at first, but then the more they talked, the more stiff they became.
"That Yin Qiu told the truth, he couldn't hand over the sword spectrum to Ji Gang.
"He came this time, prepared a heavy gift, and wanted to redeem his father.
"The Ji gang leader was not happy when he heard it, where would he agree? As a result, the two sides finally got into a fight.
"Originally, there were a lot of people on our side, and the gang leader planned to capture them together, but who knew that there was another business trip."
When everyone heard "another business trip", they couldn't help but feel strange.
Qingxu snorted and continued:
"We were fighting, and suddenly a group of masked people came, all of them were strong in martial arts, and the leader seemed to be an old man, making a wooden crutch, and his kung fu was especially high.
As soon as they broke in, they didn't help anyone, but went straight to Yin Jifu.
"Things went in a hurry, and they got their hands on it and snatched Yin Jifu away."
Longzi Xixin said:
"The old man? Wooden crutch? Eight achievements are the group that came to assassinate the Tuda. ”
"What happened later?" he asked. ”
Qing Xu said:
Later, Ji Gang Leader, Yin Qiu and others respectively tracked the group of masked men to the east. The rest of the story is not clear. ”
Everyone felt that the matter was quite complicated, and they were speechless for a while.
Long Zixi thought for a while and said:
"What about the middle-aged man who was arrested with Yin Jifu?"
Qing Xu said:
"That person was detained separately by the Ji gang leader, and he didn't show up on the day he met Yin Qiu, even Yin Qiu didn't see that person."
At the moment, the location of Pei Zhen's detention was explained in detail.
Long Zixi nodded:
"In that case, thank you both."
After sending off Zhang Chashou and Qing Xu, Long Zixi had already made up his mind and discussed with Third Brother Fang:
"According to the younger brother, that Pei Zhen is still in Jijiazhuang, and if you find him, you may be able to find clues."
Fang Sange said:
"Why don't we ask the local government to help us find him out in Jijiazhuang."
Long Zixi shook his head:
"This matter was originally a private matter, and it was inconvenient to alarm the government. However, Ji Gang and the others are not tracking the masked man in Taiyuan, and the rest should be easy to deal with, which is a great opportunity.
"The junior brother has his own way to rescue Pei Zhen, but we just need the help of Third Brother Fang to find a place to hide him, and hand it over to the junior brother after we come back from the Yan Yan Kingdom."
Fang Sange said:
"This is easy, Zhang must have a way."
The two agreed, Third Brother Fang said goodbye, and Long Zixi went to prepare for a night visit to Jijiazhuang.
122
In the evening, Long Zixi glued his beard and rode to Jijiazhuang.
Look at the Zhuangzi, although it is rich, it is not as luxurious as the camel Dongzhuang.
Long Zixi sneaked into the village and found the house where Chief Pei was being held according to Qing Xu's instructions.
When I touched it, I saw a light reflecting from the window.
When he heard this, someone inside was talking.
One Humane:
"Why are you keeping this man? It's better to kill him, and save yourself the trouble of being detained. ”
Another way:
Hugh said nonsense. The gang leader has not yet found out the whereabouts of the sword spectrum, and the crazy old man doesn't know anything, but this person knows. That's why we were left to take care of him. ”
That way:
"That's right. It's just that I can't sleep this night, which is a little difficult. ”
After a moment of silence, the one who spoke first said:
"Why don't I go get some wine, and the younger brother will accompany the eldest brother to drink and gossip to pass the time."
That way:
"That's the best, don't go yet!"
Then he heard the footsteps and moved to the door.
The dragon jumped back to the west, potentially behind the tree.
I heard a "squeak", the door opened, and a person walked out.
The man closed the door and said:
"Big brother, bolt the door, and open it for the younger brother later, it's better to be careful."
As he spoke, he walked to the back.
Long Zixi quietly followed.
But he saw the man turn a corner and enter a room.
After a while, he walked out with something in his hand.
Long Zixi took advantage of his unpreparedness, and suddenly made a move, hitting his back to the acupoint.
The man's body trembled and could not move, but the thing in his hand fell.
But seeing that Long Zixi's body was extremely fast, he grabbed the front early, stretched out his legs to catch it, and a wine jug fell to his feet.
Something else fell to the ground, but it didn't make much noise.
Long Zixi picked up the wine jug, picked up the bag of things, and smelled a fragrance, but it was a roast chicken.
Longzi Xixin said:
"Well, these two will enjoy it. Roast chicken is wine, which is really good. ”
Drag the man behind a tree and hide it, and walk this way with his things.
When he arrived at the door, Long Zixi knocked lightly on the door. Laughing inside:
"Everything you do here is slow, that is, as soon as you hear that there is wine, you will be fast! And here it comes, well, brother smells of wine, it's good wine. ”
As he spoke, he came over and opened the door.
Long Zixi didn't wait for the man to see clearly, dodged into the house, and hit the man's acupoint early.
The man let out a "huh" and froze there.
Long Zixi put the things on the table, dragged the man to the bed, and closed the door.
Through the light, look around the house.
found that this was just an ordinary room, not like a place for people at all, where is the shadow of Pei Zhen?
I couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't Pei Zhen locked up here?" ”
Long Zixi came to the bed, grabbed the man's throat with his left hand, and opened the dumb hole for him with his right hand.
The man was just about to scream, but Long Zixi's left hand tightened, and he shouted in a low voice:
"Don't die, you just scream!"
The man's throat ached, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
Long Zixi asked in a low voice:
"Where is Pei Zhenguan?"
But the man shook his head vigorously, and said nothing.
Long Zixi added strength to his left hand, and the man had difficulty breathing, struggled a few times, and said with great difficulty:
"North, north wall, there, there, dark, secret door......"
Long Zixi looked back, and the north wall was indeed a little different.
So he sealed the man's dumb hole again, and touched it to the north wall.
Suddenly, Long Zixi felt a loosening of his feet, and his body fell involuntarily.
It turned out that there was a trap there, which was controlled by a mechanism during the day, and people could step on it, but at night the mechanism was opened, and when they stepped on it, they naturally fell to the bottom.
Due to the lack of light in the house, where can Longzixi be found?
It's a trick.
123
Let's say that Long Zixi fell into the trap, and it was pitch black inside.
When you touch it with your hand, you will be surrounded by smooth stone walls.
Looking up, a faint glimmer of light could be seen, and the trap was about three feet deep.
Because the space inside is small and there is nowhere to borrow strength, it is impossible to jump up with light skills.
Long Zixi couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
The heart said: "Oops! I, Long Zixi, have encountered a big problem today. ”
At this moment, I suddenly heard the noise of people above, and then there was a light, and after a while, it became even brighter.
Long Zixi said in his heart: "It must be that the flap just now sounded and alarmed others." ”
Sure enough, a few people with torches, looked down, and one said:
"The master of the Ji gang is really clever, there are really people from Camel Dongzhuang to save Pei Zhen."
Another yelled below:
"Hey, brother below, is it still comfortable inside?"
A burst of laughter followed.
Long Zixi said in his heart: "They treat me as a person from Camel Dongzhuang, you might as well make mistakes and find a way to get out." ”
But he didn't have anything to think about for a while, so he didn't make a sound.
There is humanity above:
"These two stupid people were actually pointed at the acupoints."
It seems that some people have been busy for a while, and there are humanitarians:
"This guy's martial arts are not weak, this acupoint is actually difficult to solve."
A man with a torch in his hand went to the entrance of the cave again, and shouted at Long Zixi:
"Hey, brother below, raise your head and let Lao Tzu take a good look, what kind of character is it?"
And he shone the torches.
Long Zixi saw the man's head exposed at the entrance of the cave, and took out a bone dart and hit it.
I only heard the man's "sigh", and the torch on his wrist was in the morning, and he couldn't hold it and fell straight down.
Long Zixi picked up the torch, and with an idea, he deliberately shouted in a thick voice:
"Lao Tzu is fighting with you, don't throw torches if you have a kind, let Lao Tzu go out and fight with you for three lilies!"
There was a rush above, but no one dared to go to the entrance of the cave again.
Suddenly, one of them scolded:
"Fuck, this kid dares to attack Lao Tzu. See if Lao Tzu doesn't burn you! You don't want to throw torches, Lao Tzu prefers to throw them, brothers, throw torches in it! ”
As soon as the sound fell, more than a dozen torches were thrown.
Long Zixi hurriedly dodged, and there was some fire on his clothes.
But he pretended to scream and trampled on the torches that were thrown down one by one.
The people above listened to the screams in the cave and laughed.
After a while, I saw smoke drifting out of the cave, but there was no sound.
A Path:
"Eighty percent of this guy was burned to death."
Another way:
"If you don't burn to death, you're afraid of choking half to death by smoke."
One Humane:
"Let me close the hole and hold him for two hours, not afraid that he will not die."
As he spoke, he cautiously approached the hole and stabbed the trap with the knife in his hand.
124
The man had just stretched out his knife to the trap, when he suddenly saw a figure in the hole jump out, and then he saw the man's right hand raised, a few "ouch", several people darts in their arms, the weapon fell to the ground, and the man was already standing firmly on the ground.
Everyone was taken aback, they didn't expect that the people in the cave would be able to jump out, and they forgot to step forward to attack for a while.
It turned out that Long Zixi saw the first torch falling, and he already had a plan to get out.
He deliberately provoked the other party to throw torches into the cave, but stepped on the falling torches one by one.
He tore off the sleeves of his shirt, tore them into strips of cloth, and joined together a dozen wooden sticks to form a long stick five or six feet long.
Long Zixi stood on the side of the wall and climbed halfway up to the cave wall.
It's easy to step on the stick and jump upwards.
However, Rao won the defeat and got out of trouble, thinking of the dangerous situation just now, he was also secretly afraid.
Long Zixi touched his beard and found that it had been burned by the fire, and continued to pinch it and laughed:
"Hmph, you are too unparticular, you burn Lao Tzu's beard, you can know how precious Lao Tzu's beard is?"
Only then did everyone come to their senses and gather around.
Long Zixi sneered:
"How many are you waiting for, do you still want to fight? Lao Tzu persuaded Er to wait for the others to hand over Manager Pei earlier! ”
One of them shouted:
"Hmph, I was ordered to take care of that Pei Zhen, how could I let you save him easily? Let's see what you're capable of. ”
After speaking, everyone attacked together.
At this time, Long Zixi was already confident.
But considering that he didn't know if the other party still had helpers, and he was afraid that the enemy would take advantage of the chaos to transfer Pei Zhen, he decided to fight quickly.
He made up his mind, held a torch in one hand, and did not unwield his sword, and flew up to meet the enemy's blade.
Everyone was surprised to see that he was alone, that he did not need a sword, that he did not retreat but advanced, and that he did not defend and counterattack.
I saw that Long Zixi shuttled between the people with extremely fast body and techniques, and after more than a dozen rounds, more than 20 people had already been pointed.
The men froze there, still holding torches, some with surprises on their faces.
Long Zixi smiled:
"That's good, please raise a fire for Lao Tzu!"
At this time, I looked at the north wall again, and sure enough, there was a secret door, but there was no handle.
Long Zixi looked closer and saw that there seemed to be a groove in one place.
Try it with your hand, push it harder, and the door will slowly open.
Everyone saw that Long Zixi was doing things, and there was nothing they could do.
But when he saw that Long Zixi saw the door open, this time he kept an eye on it and didn't go in immediately.
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was nothing abnormal, he walked in.
I saw that there was a small room inside, and there was a man sitting in the corner, his hands and feet were bound by copper chains.
When the man saw someone coming in, he was looking at him.
When Long Zixi saw that the person was Pei Zhen, it was just that his hair was scattered, his face was thin, he was dumb and couldn't speak.
Pei Zhen saw a young man with a long beard come in, his eyes rolled, as if he suddenly remembered something, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, looking at Long Zixi.
Long Zixi waved his sword, "snapped" a few times, cut off the copper chain, put away the sword, grabbed his arm, and walked out of the house.
Seeing Pei Zhen's feet standing by the wall, he took it and put it on Pei Zhen's back, and said to everyone:
"Let me tell you that Master Pei was taken back by our camel Dongzhuang. After an hour, your acupuncture points will be unraveled. However, in order not to turn it into barbecue, don't light the torches anymore. ”
After finishing speaking, he snatched everyone's torches one by one, stepped on them together with his own torches, and pulled Pei Zhen out of Jijiazhuang in a big way.
Out of the village, the two rode together and came to the city.
Halfway through, Long Zixi turned over and dismounted and helped Pei Zhen off the horse.
Shot out to relieve him of a few acupoints, that Pei Zhen slowed down for a while, his mouth could speak, and he arched his hand:
"Thank you for saving me."
Long Zixi looked at Pei Zhen coldly.
Because he saw Long Zixi like this last time, Pei Zhen already knew that he was Long Zixi, and after a while, he said:
"What do you want? Tell you, you don't want to let you tell you the whereabouts of the sword spectrum! ”
Long Zixi originally wanted Third Brother Fang to lock him up first, but seeing Pei Zhen like this, he obviously suffered a lot.
Xindao: Could it be that I am also like them, taking these indiscriminate methods?
Thinking about it, he suddenly changed his mind again, took out a handful of shell coins and stuffed it into him, and said:
"Manager Pei, I respect you as a man. You, go by yourself! ”
Pei Zhen Yileng:
"Long Zixi, you, did you really let me go?"
Longzi West Road:
"Exactly. I just want to get my sword book back, but seeing that you are loyal to Yin Jifu, I won't say anything, what's the use of arresting you? ”
Pei Zhen snorted and said:
"Even if you let me go, I won't tell you the whereabouts of the sword spectrum. And, and ...... I will also continue to avenge Lord Yin's granddaughter! ”
Longzi West Road:
"I said last time that I don't know about Yin Jifu's granddaughter, believe it or not. You want to take revenge, and it's not too late to heal your wounds. ”
Pei Zhen thought about it, and suddenly said:
"Did the young man ever know where Master Yin Zhuang went?"
He changed the title of "Shaoxia", obviously his hostility towards Long Zixi has weakened.
Longzi West Road:
"What a faithful protector! Okay, I'll tell you later. ”
I said what Qingxu said that day again.
When Pei Zhen heard this, he was very anxious:
"The owner of the village doesn't know who was arrested again, and he was really lucky. Long Shaoxia, there is a clear distinction between grievances and grievances, and it is still the same sentence, the grace of saving each other will be repaid, and the revenge of killing a woman will also be avenged. We'll see you later! ”
After speaking, Chong Long Zixi shook again, limping and disappearing into the night.
Long Zixi looked at his back, with both admiration and helplessness in his heart, and couldn't help but shake his head.
125
When he returned to the inn, he saw that Fourth Brother Fang was waiting for him with a few people.
As soon as Fourth Brother Fang saw Long Zixi returning to the inn, he immediately greeted him and asked anxiously:
"I expected that Shaoxia would go to Jijiazhuang tonight, but I regretted not going with you, so I asked a few local experts to help you, but I was afraid that it would not be in line with Shaoxia's wishes, but it would not be beautiful. Brother is back, how's it going? Are you hurt? ”
Long Zixi smiled:
"Thank you Fourth Brother Fang for your concern, I wasn't injured, I was just burned by the fire."
I told me what happened to Jijiazhuang.
When everyone heard that he had fallen into the pit and escaped by chance, they were all afraid.
Hearing him release Pei Zhen again, they all sighed.
Fourth Brother Fang:
"That Pei Zhen is unreasonable, and there is no distinction between good and bad."
Longzi West Road:
"This man is upright and loyal, but he is a man."
Fourth Brother Fang saw that Long Zixi's clothes were broken, and said with a smile:
"The young man is about to become a son, I can't say it, I'll give you a new set of clothes tomorrow."
Seeing that Long Zixi had changed his clothes, Fourth Brother Fang said again:
"Because Lord Tu's affairs have delayed your search for the sword spectrum, Lord Tu is very unhappy. Master Tu promised that after returning from the country of Yanli, let us help you. ”
Longzi West Road:
"The search for the sword spectrum is impossible to think about for a while, and it is impossible to rush, but there is no need for many people to come forward. When you can use the four brothers, you will naturally not be polite. ”
The people talked for a while, and when they saw that it was not too early, they took their leave.
Long Zixi was unhappy when he saw that he had lost the clue when he was looking for the sword spectrum.
