Twenty-second round: Zhao Xiang broke the siege
Yin Caoyong of Lin'an Mansion took the third class of officials and catchers, and went straight to the second floor with murderous spirit. After seeing Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing, he ordered everyone to rush up, intending to capture them on the spot. The public was ordered, and just as they were about to make a move, they heard a person coldly scold: "Presumptuous." ”
When the officers heard the rebuke, they stopped. Cao Yong also stared at the toad with wide eyes and turned around, wanting to see who was the divine person who obstructed the Yamen's case. When Cao Yong saw the true face of this person, he was immediately frightened, and his legs trembled. He came to Zhao Ding tremblingly, and said in an intermittent tone: "...... Appearance...... Xiangye, you ....... Why are you here? ”
After Zhao Ding listened to Cao Yong's words, he stared at him with horizontal eyebrows, and then asked rhetorically: "What?" Is this place only allowed for you, Lord Cao, to come, but not for me? As soon as he heard Zhao Ding's words, Cao Yong was immediately frightened. He fell to his knees with a "plop" and kowtowed like pounding garlic.
Cao Yong hurriedly explained to Zhao Ding that this was not what he meant. Zhao Ding saw his cowardly and incompetent appearance, and his heart was very disgusted. He frowned and waved his hand at Cao Yong. Then he said in a sonorous tone: "The dignified court officials, what kind of system do you kneel down in front of the public, don't hurry up." ”
After hearing Zhao Ding's words, Cao Yong hurriedly got up and stood in front of Zhao Ding respectfully. Zhao Ding didn't have time to entangle with this villain, so he got straight to the point and asked Cao Yong why he wanted to arrest Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing.
Cao Yong glanced up at Fu Tianpeng, and when he saw that he was glaring angrily at him, he was so frightened that he quickly turned his face back. Cao Yong replied to Zhao Ding's question, he said that Fu Tianpeng refused to pay the money to enter the city, and beat the court generals, and he should be arrested and interrogated because of these two points.
After listening to Cao Yong's explanation, Zhao Ding's face became serious. After a while, Zhao Ding took the case and scolded him in front of the people for charging the city entrance fee repeatedly. Zhao Ding said: "Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger. The people of the Great Song Dynasty suffered from the war and chaos, and the people's livelihood withered. Today, the imperial court did not know how to reduce taxes and give preferential treatment to the people, but instead intensified its exploitation. This is to push the people into the fire pit, so that the relatives are painful, and the enemies are happy. Isn't it chilling? ”
Zhao Ding's impassioned speech attracted bursts of applause from the people present. And these loud words came into Cao Yong's ears like beating a snake seven inches. Cao Yong writhed his body in pain, and spat kept spitting in his mouth. Obviously, he had no question of Zhao Ding's words. However, relying on Qin Hui as a backer, Cao Yong began to speak fast again.
With a provocative smile on Cao Yong's face, he looked at Zhao Ding and whispered to him: "Zhao Xiangye, this matter of charging fees for entering the city is the idea of Lord Qin, the governor of the government. Lord Qin is now a celebrity in front of the Holy Top. In fact, you weigh the stakes yourself. ”
Zhao Ding saw that Cao Yong actually threatened him with words, and he was immediately furious. Zhao Ding pointed at Cao Yong's nose and reprimanded: "It's all slanderers like you who use words to deceive the holy hearing, so that the way of speech is blocked. Remember, clouds do not always obscure the sun. ”
Cao Yong nodded again and again, and he looked up at Fu Tianpeng again. Then after saluting Zhao Ding, he fled from the inn with his servants and hunters. After Cao Yong left, Zhao Ding knew that this person would definitely inform Qin Hui of the inn. If he slanders the saint, then Fu Tianpeng and the others may become prisoners of the imperial court. The two knights traveled a long distance and came to Lin'an all the way. Such a loyal and courageous hero must not let them suffer unjustly.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ding asked Xiao Er to find the four treasures of the study. He immediately worked hard to write, and after writing a letter, he handed it over to Fu Tianpeng.
Zhao Ding told Fu Tianpeng that this letter was of great importance and must be handed over to Marshal Han Shizhong in person. Fu Tianpeng nodded, and he immediately got up and said goodbye to Zhao Ding with Zhao Xueqing. Before leaving, Fu Tianpeng said to Zhao Ding: "Lord Zhao, you are loyal and upright, and such a character is inevitably not tolerated by villains. You must be more careful in the future. ”
Zhao Ding nodded and said to Fu Tianpeng: "Thank you Fu Shaoxia for your kind reminder, the old man will remember it." Shaoxia and Miss Zhao should also pay more attention to beware of the plots of the villains. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing said goodbye to Zhao Ding. The two decided that no matter whether the imperial court sent troops or not, they would defend the Yangtze River line with the soldiers in front.
Fu Tianpeng and the others rode back on a fast horse, and after running for several days. That night, I came to a ruined temple. Fu Tianpeng glanced around, it was overgrown with weeds and deserted. On an ancient elm that four people couldn't close, the cicadas kept making noise. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and lightning could be seen cutting through the sky from time to time. After Fu Tianpeng tied the horse, he took out some dry food from the horse's bag. He said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, look at this weather is about to rain, and it's getting late." Why don't we rest for one night in the ruined temple? Tomorrow morning, let's hurry again. ”
After the two entered the ruined temple, Fu Tianpeng handed the water bag and dry food to Zhao Xueqing. After she took it, she just took a sip, hastily ate some dry food, and then handed the rest to Fu Tianpeng. Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, you have eaten all these dry foods." Running around for days is quite physically exhausting. ”
Fu Tianpeng saw that Zhao Xueqing's original apricot powder Chunjiao's face showed tiredness, and he knew that this was caused by running all the way, not eating well, and not sleeping well. Fu Tianpeng put his cloak on a pile of hay, and then spread the hay flat. He said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, let you go around with me, and you have to work hard for the community." I'm really sorry for you. ”
Zhao Xueqing gently leaned her head into Fu Tianpeng's arms, Fu Tianpeng only felt that she was blowing like an orchid, and he was unconsciously drunk. The two of them snuggled up to each other like this, although they were silent at this time, but each other's hearts were tightly connected. Time is passing secretly, and only by deeply experiencing the ups and downs and sufferings of the road ahead can we cherish this short-term happiness.
A silver moon crept behind the thick clouds, and the sky became darker. At this time, in front of the broken window of the ancient temple, several figures suddenly floated by. Fu Tianpeng said softly to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, someone is here." ”
The two of them immediately stood up, one drawing their swords, the other drawing their swords, their eyes vigilantly watching the movements around them. Suddenly, the tiles on the roof of the temple fell one after another, and at the same time as a puff of dust and smoke scattered, five masked men in black jumped out from their side.
In the face of these uninvited guests, Fu Tianpeng's Bibo Treasure Knife was unsheathed, and he said to the man in black: "Who are you? When a man in black heard the question, he immediately burst out laughing. Fu Tianpeng felt from his laughter that this person seemed familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
Seeing Fu Tianpeng's contemplative appearance, the man in black smiled coldly: "What? In the past few months, he forgot his old friends from Shaolin Temple? Only then did Fu Tianpeng recall that this person was the hall master of the Five Swords Hall that he had captured at that time. However, hasn't this thief boss been picked up by Pu Shougeng? How did he escape? What's going on? All kinds of questions lingered in Fu Tianpeng's mind, but he couldn't find the answers.
When Fu Tianpeng was stunned, the man in black made a move of "offering treasure from all directions", and his claws came out like lightning, only grabbing Fu Tianpeng's chest. Seeing this, Zhao Xueqing hurriedly grabbed her body, Chanjuan's sword Jiaolong came out of the abyss and stabbed straight to the side of the man in black.
The man in black was taken aback, his claws hurriedly circled and turned, he shifted his shape, and dodged through the air of Chanjuan's sword. The sneak attack on Fu Tianpeng was unsuccessful, and the popularity of the black-clothed man was ruined, and he said to the thieves: "You guys go up together and solve this girl for me." ”
The four men in black hold one corner, their fists are full of wind, and their legs are full of strength. kicked up and down, surrounding Zhao Xueqing. Zhao Xueqing held a sword to block, stepped down to give birth to flowers, and walked lightly between the four black-clothed people. The black-clothed hall master here personally fought with Fu Tianpeng again.
The black-clothed hall master said: "Boy, last time it wasn't the bald donkey of Shaolin Temple who secretly helped each other. Am I afraid of you? When we meet again this time, I'm going to show you how good I am. Fu Tianpeng snorted and replied contemptuously: "Don't talk nonsense, if you want to win me, let's see the real chapter on our fists and feet." ”
After that, the black-clothed hall master put on the move of a tiger out of the forest, while Fu Tianpeng showed the move of the dragon and the sea. A fierce battle between the dragon and the tiger is inevitable. The black-clothed hall master was the first to attack, and he rose into the air, three feet from the ground. His legs twisted sharply, kicking towards Fu Tianpeng's heart like a shuttle. After Fu Tianpeng took a few steps back, the dantian true qi condensed the sea of qi, and his arms were secretly lucky, and he made a move to "pull onions on dry land". Fu Tianpeng grabbed the legs of the black-clothed hall master and threw it outward.
The black-clothed hall master was hit by a strong internal force, and when he landed, his center of gravity was unstable, and he almost wanted to fall. Fu Tianpeng took this opportunity to step on the waves with both feet, like an arrow off the string. He slammed his palms into the back of the black-clothed hall master's heart. A move "Qianjiang tide", heavy and real is a heavy and real fight.
With an "ah" sound, the black-clothed Tangyi fell to the ground and curled up in pain a few times, and then died of anger. The remaining four people immediately panicked, and Zhao Xueqing took advantage of this opportunity. "Ziyan pierced the curtain", the sword shadow flashed, and the four black-clothed people also fell to the ground one after another.
Fu Tianpeng took off the masks of the five people, and saw that they all looked yellow and long-haired, and it was not difficult to see that they were all Jin Ying's subordinates. Then Fu Tianpeng took out the secret letter in the brocade box in the arms of the black-clothed hall master. When he saw the contents of the letter, his face changed dramatically. It turned out that Jin Wuxuan had revealed in the letter that the masters of the Five Swords Hall had infiltrated the Song Realm in batches. Waiting for the opportunity to assassinate the main general.
This news is not trivial, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing adjusted their state slightly, and then flew on the horse. Go to Zhenjiang to meet Marshal Han Shizhong and explain in detail the benefits and disadvantages here.
