Chapter 798: Phoenix Retreats
Feiyun and the others appeared unexpectedly, which surprised Li Fenghuang. She reacted quickly, and immediately let out a whistle to inform everyone to retreat. But everyone was entangled, and for a while, it was difficult to get out. Li Fenghuang didn't dare to be careless under the attack of the princess Feifeng Sword, so he could only look for opportunities while fighting.
Feiyun saw that Lian'er and Fang Ming fought against Ximen Liang, but they still couldn't win. He was worried that Lian'er would be injured, so he hurriedly jumped up, waved his fan in the air, and smashed it towards Ximen Liang. Ximen Liang slashed out with his palms, and at the same time forced Fang Ming and Lian'er back, and was about to step forward to chase and kill, but heard the sound of the wind overhead. Ximen Liang didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly flashed to the side, raised his eyes, and saw that it was Feiyun.
Ximen Liang had seen Feiyun's skills and knew that only Li Fenghuang could barely compete with him. Ximen Liang is a master invited by Li Fenghuang, so naturally he will not work hard. Just now, Li Fenghuang issued a retreat#, Ximen Liang did not hesitate, turned around and ran.
Feiyun then jumped to his side and said, "Princess, this is left to me, you go and help your aunt!" ”
Listening to Feiyun's words, the princess Feifeng sword swung violently, forcing Li Fenghuang to take two steps back before turning around and leaving. Feiyun then jumped over, folding a fan and stabbing Yang Li Phoenix. Li Fenghuang swung his sword and then counterattacked.
Li Zhen and Ximen Liang fled one after another, Nangong Tao was already injured, so he was naturally not to be left behind, and took the opportunity to jump away. Dongfang Ming saw that the situation was not good, so he also smeared oil on the soles of his feet and took the time to slip away. Li Fenghuang saw that everyone had fled, and he didn't stay long, so he barely made a few moves with Feiyun, looked at the gap, jumped into the room and left.
In less than a moment, the people of Longfeng Gate were either captured and killed, or fled in the wilderness. Gao Qiong was about to ask someone to clean up the corpses of the Dragon and Phoenix Sect disciples on the ground, but Liangchen said, "Master Hou, slow down!" Gao Qiong was stunned and asked, "Miss Liangchen, what do you have to say?" Liangchen smiled slightly: "Lord, the servant wants to take advantage of this scene, and please agree!" ”
Gao Qiong was stunned for a moment and then said, "You ghost girl, what tricks are you going to play?" If the king wants to see it, you can arrange it directly! Liangchen thanked Gao Qiong, and asked Meijing, Lian'er, Huanting, and Chanjuan to go to prison and bring the White Lotus and Red Lotus respectively. Only then did everyone understand that Liangchen undoubtedly wanted these two lotus messengers to see the White Lotus Sect's fiasco again, so that they could lose confidence so that they could be persuaded to surrender in the future. After a while, Meijing and the others brought the red lotus and the white lotus to the place.
When the two Lotus Messengers saw the corpses of the White Lotus Sect disciples lying on the ground, they couldn't help but lose their faces and were taken aback. When they saw Fan Sheng's corpse, they were even more horrified. Seeing this, Liangchen added fuel to the fire and told them that the White Lotus Sect was not capable of doing enough to try to rescue the Niu Ba of the gambling house in order to recruit the remnants of the gambling house. However, the White Lotus Sect not only did not succeed, but instead took the lives of many of Fan Sheng's disciples.
Liangchen also said that Niu Xiong, the young owner of the gambling house, was also captured alive. This time, the White Lotus Sect returned again, and many people were injured by Liu Shui and Yanmei County Lord. It is estimated that in a few days, this matter will be spread to the rivers and lakes. In addition, Niu Ba, Niu Xiong's father and son will be beheaded in public tomorrow, and the White Lotus Sect will be discredited from now on, and it will definitely betray their relatives and leave, and the day of destruction is not far away. Therefore, Liangchen hopes that the two lotus flowers will think carefully about their future, whether they are ready to die to repay Yang Xuelian's nurturing and teaching, or whether they are ready to break away from the control of the White Lotus Sect and start a new life.
The Red Lotus and the White Lotus have been in the White Lotus Sect since they were children, and they are naturally familiar with the White Lotus Sect members. Many of those who were killed were still their subordinates. The two witnessed the tragic situation with their own eyes, and their hearts were sad, hateful and worried. They were sad for only a few days, and the White Lotus Sect killed and injured many disciples. What I hate is that Liu Shui actually colluded with the government, and he was ruthless. They are worried about their future, and the White Lotus Sect will inevitably give up rescuing the two of them if they fail to rob the prison this time. With the current strength of the White Lotus Sect, it is not the opponent of Liu Shui and the others. The two of them stared at the corpses blankly, silent!
Liangchen's purpose is to combat the obsession of the two Lotus Messengers with the White Lotus Sect, and also make them die and be rescued. Liangchen saw that the expressions of the two of them had changed greatly, and the weather was uncertain, and the momentum of the tiger that could not fall off the frame before had long been gone. This is exactly what Liangchen wants to achieve. Liangchen didn't ask much, just waved his hand, and let Meijing and the others escort them into the cell again.
Seeing this, the Yanmei County Lord asked with some complaint: "Liangchen, why don't you take the opportunity to persuade them to surrender?" If they submit to us, won't they be able to tell us about the White Lotus Sect's lair right away? Liangchen glanced at Yan Mei and said, "County Lord, these two people are Yang Xuelian's henchmen, and they are loyal to Yang Xuelian, how can they surrender so easily?" Only when such a scene allows them to watch too much can they gradually shake their hearts. You must know that they can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and now they must hate us very much, and persuasion is useless. I'm going to wait for the most suitable opportunity to succeed in one fell swoop! ”
Liu Jindeng was thoughtful and had many years of experience in marching and combating, so he naturally understood Liangchen's intentions long ago. As soon as Liangchen's voice fell, Liu Jindeng immediately applauded, and said: "Liangchen girl is not worthy of the title of female Zhuge , and she has successfully completed such a big task in such a hurry, which is indeed admirable!" Liu Jindeng knew that the glamorous county lord had offended Liangchen before, and Liangchen was Liu Shui's personal maid, and he had a great influence on Liu Shui. Liu Jindeng could only praise Liangchen and indirectly apologize for Yanmei for the sake of being charming.
Liangchen naturally didn't dare to be too big in front of the gold ingot, after all, Liu Jin ingot was the identity of the princess and the elder of Liu Shui. Liangchen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly humbled a few words. When Meijing escorted the two lotus messengers away, they asked the palace guards to clean up the courtyard. Gao Qiong and his wife handed over the outside matter to Murong Zaixing, and invited Liu Shui and others into the lobby to discuss.
After everyone sat down, Gao Qiong asked, "Miss Liangchen, what should you do next?" This king wants to hear your opinion! Liangchen was not polite, and immediately replied: "Lord Wang, the servant thinks that tomorrow will be according to the original plan, and the father and son of the Niu family will be publicly beheaded." In this way, it can not only show the court's love for the people, but also combat the arrogance of local bullies, and also hit the White Lotus Sect. Then he asked the prince to declare the White Lotus Sect and the Dragon and Phoenix Sect as evil cults and evil gangs, and they were all banned, and the portraits of Yang Xuelian, Li Xianglan and other leaders were wanted. At the same time, those who provide clues and whistleblowers will be given heavy rewards. In this way, it is naturally inconvenient for these two factions to act, and it is difficult for them to expand their power. ”
Gao Qiong nodded and said, "The girl is reasonable, so I will do it according to your opinion." It's just a big bounty, and it may not necessarily have an effect. After all, this group of people is strong in martial arts, and ordinary people dare not offend them. Liangchen smiled slightly: "It's okay either." My young master has asked the beggar gang to inquire about the news, and I believe that with the ability of the beggar gang, we should be able to get some useful information soon. When the time comes, we will find out their nest and capture it in one go. Of course, the prince also has to order the local governments to arrest these people as soon as possible! Gao Qiong and his wife nodded in agreement.
When the county lord heard Liangchen mention the local government, he suddenly remembered what Liu E entrusted her, so he said: "Father, mother, before I left Beijing, Liu Niangniang also explained something, and I hope that after we settle down, we will start to handle it." When Gao Qiong heard that it was Liu E's entrustment, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked, "Mei'er, what do you have to say?" It turned out that although Liu E wanted Liu Shui to go to Jiangnan and asked Liu Shui to spend time to find out about his own life experience, she also knew Liu Shui's personality and would definitely not take this matter to heart.
When she learned of Liu Shui's actions in Yangzhou, Liu E was very anxious. She saw that the county lord Yanmei was also going to Jiangnan, so she told the county lord Yanmei the mystery of Liu Shui's life experience. Liu E hoped that the glamorous county lord would go to Jiangnan, and asked Gao Qiong to order the local government to announce the list and find half a piece of engraved jade pendant, which was also the only token that allowed Liu Shui to recognize his relatives. Because when Liu E picked up Liu Shui, in addition to the burden, Liu Shui had half a jade pendant hanging around his neck.
This half of the jade pendant is crystal clear, and there are two halves of words on it. Obviously, the jade pendant is divided into two, and the words on it are also cut in half. As long as you find half a jade pendant that is docked with Liu Shui's half of the jade pendant, the person who holds it must be Liu Shui's relatives. Although Liu Shui has carried this half of the jade pendant since he was a child, he doesn't know the origin. It wasn't until Liu Shui arrived in the capital this time that Liu E confirmed Liu Shui's identity and told him, and asked Liu Shui to go to Jiangnan to find relatives at the right time.
However, because Liu Shui has been carefully raised by the Dharma Lantern Master since he was a child, although he is fortunate to practice martial arts, he has not suffered too many ups and downs, so he does not have a strong idea of finding relatives. He occasionally thinks about this incident, and inevitably complains about his parents and relatives. Because he believes that parents should not abandon their children no matter what. Since they are so ruthless, there seems to be no need to look for them themselves. But Liu E taught Liu Shui a hard lesson, saying that there are parents in the world and scolding him for being unfaithful and unfilial. Seeing that Liu E was so angry that she burst into tears, Liu Shui had no choice but to agree to Liu E and go to find her parents and relatives with all her heart. But as soon as he arrived in Jiangnan, he was very busy, and wherever he had the heart to think about this matter, he put the matter on hold.
After hearing this, Gao Qiong was surprised. Since it was Liu E's entrustment, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said that he would make the announcement of the yamen tomorrow with a festival, and Zhang Bang was looking for half a jade pendant. Liu Shui said that it is a top priority to deal with the affairs of the White Lotus Sect and the Dragon and Phoenix Sect at present, this is a private matter, don't worry, wait until the two factions are dealt with. Liu Jindeng persuaded: "Shui'er, this White Lotus Sect and the Dragon and Phoenix Sect have been plotting for a long time, and now they have disappeared, I am afraid it will not be possible to find them in three or five days." We can do both things at the same time and it doesn't matter. ”
Liu Shui shook his head and said, "Princess Niangniang, how can it not be affected?" Once Zhang Bang looks for it, someone will definitely send half a jade pendant, so I naturally have to check them one by one, wouldn't I be unable to do other things? Gao Qiong and his wife were stunned, thinking that this is also true. However, the shape of Liu Shui's half of the jade pendant can't be illustrated, in that case, someone will definitely make a fake one to deceive.
Liangchen smiled slightly and said, "Young Master, this is easy to do." Just take the size and shape of your half jade pendant and draw a rough shape. At the same time, it only said that there were words on the jade pendant, but did not explain what the words were, how many words there were, and what kind of font they were. Compare the graphics first, and you can eliminate a lot. The maid believes that in this way, there will not be much left, and then ask the young master to concentrate his time and check them one by one. In this way, you can do both without delay. In order to increase the weight, it is best to stamp the festival on the list, which will naturally cause a sensation and will soon spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and women and children will know it! ”
Liangchen and Meijing had already heard Liu E talk about this, and Liu E also told the two of them to urge Liu Shui to find their relatives. The two also reminded Liu Shui, but they were blamed by Liu Shui, and the two didn't dare to say more. However, Liangchen had already thought of the way he was looking for in private, and when he saw the opportunity today, he said it in one go. Gao Qiong and his wife were overjoyed, and immediately asked Liu Shui to take out half a jade pendant and give everyone a cursory look. The glamorous county lord immediately drew a rough pattern and wrote a good list.
Gao Qiong immediately asked Wan Ting to go to the back hall to get the official seal, he wanted to stamp it on the spot and post it early tomorrow morning. After a while, Wan Ting ran in in a panic and shouted, "Lord Wang, it's not good!" The official seal has been stolen! A lot of gold and silver were also stolen. When they heard this, they were astonished. Gao Qiong asked with some disbelief: "You girl, do you remember the wrong place?" Just look carefully! Wan Ting hurriedly replied: "The official seal was put into the box by the maidservant girl and the princess together, how can I remember it wrong." Now the box is empty, only a note! ”
Wan Ting hurriedly stepped forward and handed Gao Qiong a note. Gao Qiong took it and took a look, only to see that it was written "Shadowless thief, come here." Underneath the note is a simple drawing of an island in the middle of nowhere. Gao Qiong was so angry that he scolded: "The daring rats dare to be so rampant!" "If you lose some gold and silver, Gao Qiong naturally won't take it to heart. But the loss of the official seal is a felony. Especially for a person like Gao Qiong, who was born in a family of military generals. Liu Shui hurriedly said: "The prince is angry. What is written on the note? Gao Qiong handed the note to Liu Shui. After reading it, Liu Shui didn't know why for a while, so he handed it over to Liangchen behind him.
After reading it, Liangchen thought for a moment and said, "Lord Wang, don't worry. The maid felt that this person did not have any malicious intent, as long as we found him, it would be fine. Gao Qiong calmed down and sighed: "But now that there is no clue, how can I find this person?" Liangchen said: "He calls himself a shadowless thief, and it must not be the first time he has committed a crime. Although the White Lotus Sect attacked the yamen tonight, he was able to steal the official seal from the back hall, which can be regarded as some ability. should be well-known in the rivers and lakes, and it is not difficult to find out about him. ”
Fang Ming interjected at this time, "I've heard of this shadowless thief. When everyone heard this, they were naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Fang Ming where this person lived. Fang shook his head and said that he had only heard people talk about this person when he was walking the rivers and lakes. No one had ever seen him, nor did he know whether he was a man or a woman, let alone where he came from, so he was called the Shadowless Thief. This person doesn't commit many crimes, but every time he makes a move, he will alarm the rivers and lakes. Because what he stole was not the rich, but the government. But he never killed anyone, and he gave the stolen gold and silver to the poor people. He has a good reputation in Jiangnan and is known as a thief.
