Chapter 24: Therefore, there is a suspicious array

After ten masked men in black stopped Wang Beixin's entourage, a sly smile appeared on Wang Beixin's face. He said to the black-clothed men, "You have come at the right time, I have planned to capture the prisoners who sabotaged the plan of the Marshal of the Ulvarn, and I will trouble you to escort them back to the camp. I also found a letter from the marshal, and I would like to bring it back with you. ”

When one of the masked men heard Wang Beixin's words, he immediately burst out laughing. He couldn't stop nodding his head and praised Wang Beixin for his thoughtful work, saying that after he went back, he would definitely say a few kind words for him in front of the marshal to ensure that he would enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future.

After Wang Beixin bowed down and thanked him repeatedly, he ordered his soldiers to push Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing and rush to the direction of the prisoner cart preset by the masked man. At this time, Fu Tianpeng secretly glanced at Zhao Xueqing, and Zhao Xueqing understood in his heart. When the masked man reached out to grab Fu Tianpeng's shoulder, Fu Tianpeng suddenly shouted "open". He was angry and his arms were fighting, and he used the move of "Jiaolong to get out of trouble", breaking the rope that bound his hand. Then, Fu Tianpeng pulled out the Bibo Treasure Knife at a swift speed to help Zhao Xueqing unbind. For a while, the two of them each held a sword and confronted the masked men.

The masked man was caught by surprise by the situation, and he immediately panicked and said, "Take them down quickly." As soon as the masked man's words fell, the blue wave treasure knife in Fu Tianpeng's hand danced in light and shadow, as fast as a big wave crashing on the shore. I saw a strong air current converge into a whirlpool, rushing towards the masked man's chest. The masked man was frightened, and it was too late to dodge sideways, and he was killed by Fu Tianpeng immediately. Seeing this, the other masked men immediately besieged Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing each held a treasure knife and a sharp sword, and used exquisite moves. The swords fell, and the gangsters fell to the ground.

Wang Beixin only understood at this moment that Fu Tianpeng's original plan was planned. If you continue to stay here, you will definitely be captured by them in a few moments. Thinking of this, Wang Beixin rode on a fast horse, and after whipping the horse's back, Liangji "chirped" a few times and neighed, and galloped all the way towards Zhenjiang.

By the time Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing had all solved the masked man, Wang Beixin had already lost sight of what to do. Fu Tianpeng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger. Zhao Xueqing immediately said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, now hurry up and retrieve Jin Wuxuan's letter, and then rush to Pingjiang Mansion to inquire about the situation along the river with the Li brothers." ”

When Fu Tianpeng and his entourage came to Pingjiang Mansion, it was already late at night. Three of the four gates were closed, and only the gates that connected to the Nakaichi River could be heard with the clattering of timbers, axes and chisels, and the shouts of soldiers. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing hid in the distance, secretly observing the situation here. The two of them found that the banner of the Jin Kingdom was planted all over the head of Pingjiang Fucheng, and a huge water village was built at the mouth of the river.

Seeing everything in front of him, Fu Tianpeng frowned and said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, now that the Jin soldiers have occupied Pingjiang Mansion, I don't know what is the situation of General Li and them?" I'd like to sneak into the city and find out the news. ”

Zhao Xueqing gently patted Fu Tianpeng's shoulder and said, "Brother Tianpeng, I can understand your feelings, and I am also very worried about General Li's safety. However, now all we have to do is rush to Zhenjiang at night and tell Marshal Han everything that happened along the way. The rebellious Wu Xi has entered Bashu, and there are traitors like Wang Beixin under Marshal Han's account, and the Jin soldiers still occupy the main waterway. If several parties are united, then the future road of conquest of the imperial court will be full of obstacles. ”

After Fu Tianpeng listened to Zhao Xueqing's words, it was like seeing the sun through the clouds. He said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, now let's go straight to Zhenjiang and look for Marshal Han." With that, the two went straight to Zhenjiang.

When Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing walked to a forest path, they suddenly heard the sound of wheels and the sound of tuk tuk horses' hooves. They hurriedly hid nearby, secretly observing the dynamics around them.

After a while, the two of them saw a team of more than ten golden soldiers escorting five people and passing in front of them.

At this moment, Fu Tianpeng said to Zhao Xueqing: "Save people", and rushed out like an arrow. Fu Tianpeng punched and kicked, and his shot was like electricity. Pounced into the Golden Soldier Squad, like a wolf into a flock of sheep. In the blink of an eye, two or three golden soldiers fell to the ground. Seeing that it was difficult to resist, the rest of the people abandoned their blades and fled for their lives.

After the defeat of the Jin soldiers, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing untied the ropes bound to the five people, and these five people thanked Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing in unison. They said, "Thank you two knights for your help, if I hadn't met you today." I'm afraid our lives are in danger. ”

Fu Tianpeng told them that they don't have to be polite, it is their own business to be chivalrous. Then Fu Tianpeng asked the five people, what did Jin Bing want to do when he escorted them? The men sighed softly and shook their heads again and again and replied, "The two knights don't know anything, and several of us are carpenters in the neighborhood. Jin Bing arrested us because he wanted us to go to their water village to assist in shipbuilding. ”

After listening to the stories of these five people, Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, Jin Wuxuan is everywhere to grab manpower to build ships for them, it seems that he will soon start a large-scale attack on the Song Dynasty, we have to hurry up to see Marshal Han and tell him about the situation." ”

After they finished their discussion, Fu Tianpeng asked the carpenters to flee quickly, because Jin Guo would definitely collect intelligence and find someone who was proficient in carpentry to do things for them out of the consideration of the war. Therefore, it is better for them to leave the country now, and then find another errand, and never reveal their skills. The carpenters thanked Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing again, and disappeared into the vast night together.

Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing got back on the road, and finally arrived at Zhenjiang after repeated attacks and arduous treks. After showing the letter of Prime Minister Zhao Ding to the guards, Fu Tianpeng and the others were soon invited into Dazhai.

The two of them walked slowly, but they saw Han Shizhong's camp with flags fluttering and a forest of soldiers, with a majestic atmosphere. Look at the soldiers' camps in the distance, they are all located by the mountains and rivers, and one battalion is one battalion after another, like a long snake in ambush, echoing from end to end. Fu Tianpeng said to Zhao Xueqing: "Marshal Han is really good at using soldiers, and having such a marshal is really a blessing for my Great Song Dynasty." ”

After Fu Tianpeng and the others appreciated the weather in the barracks, they soon came to the Chinese army commander's tent. After the soldiers went in to report, Marshal Han invited the two of them into the tent. Fu Tianpeng saw a person sitting at the back of the handsome case, he was wearing gold silk beast-faced chain mail, his body was tall, his eyes were like electricity, his long beard was fluttering under his chin, and he was not angry and arrogant. Look at the woman in the second seat dressed in red, born with skin like clotted fat, as bright as a peach and plum, carrying two knives and tassels on her back, and her heroic spirit cannot be forced.

Fu Tianpeng knew that this was the anti-Jin couple Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu who were famous and gave Jin Wushu a headache. Fu Tianpeng has admired the prestige of Marshal Han for a long time, and he is fortunate to see it today, and he can hardly hide the joy in his heart. Immediately, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing hurriedly bowed deeply to the marshal and his wife.

Han Shizhong asked Fu Tianpeng not to be formal, he stroked his beard and looked at Fu Tianpeng carefully. Seeing that he was like a star and a young man, he liked it very much. After inquiring about his origin, Han Shizhong was even more overjoyed. He laughed and said: "It turns out that Shaoxia is the descendant of General Fu Cha, a famous general of my Great Song Dynasty, and it is no wonder that the general is extraordinary." ”

Marshal Han here likes Fu Tianpeng a lot, and Mrs. Han Liang Hongyu also loves Zhao Xueqing over there. Liang Hongyu is a heroine among women, and before joining the Song Army, she was born in the rivers and lakes, so she likes the heroines of the sword rivers and lakes very much. In addition, she has no daughter, and she loves Zhao Xueqing who is smart when she sees Bing Xueqing.

Therefore, Mrs. Han immediately proposed her idea to Han Shizhong to recognize Zhao Xueqing as her righteous daughter. Zhao Xueqing saw that Liang Hongyu loved herself so much, she hurriedly knelt down to salute, and shouted in Yinling's clear voice, "Daughter to meet her mother-in-law". Liang Hongyu smiled happily and hurriedly pulled Zhao Xueqing away. Zhao Xueqing then saluted Marshal Han again.

Han Shizhong laughed and said to Liang Hongyu: "Madam, good things come in pairs. As soon as I saw Fu Shaoxia, I liked it very much. Yan Zhi and his age should be almost the same, it is better for them to become brothers with different surnames, and there is something to take care of each other in the future. ”

After listening to it, Liang Hongyu agreed very much with her husband's words. She glanced at a young general standing beside her, and said to him, "Yanzhi, you go over and talk to Fu Shaoxia." After a while, burn incense and worship heaven and earth, you will become brothers with different surnames, and work together to protect the Great Song Dynasty in the future. ”

Fu Tianpeng and Han Yanzhi hit it off at first sight, and learned during the conversation that Han Yanzhi was two years older than Fu Tianpeng. Fu Tianpeng hurriedly saluted Han Yan with a fist, and said affectionately: "Brother." Han Yan returned the salute and talked with Fu Tianpeng. As if they hadn't seen each other for years, they always had endless words in each other's hearts. Han Shizhong and his wife were very happy to see that their love was genuine.

After a brief private conversation, Liang Hongyu took Zhao Xueqing for a walk near the camp. The rest of the generals also got up and took their leave, and retreated outside. At this time, Han Shizhong's light-hearted pleasure dissipated on his face like smoke, and he hurriedly asked Fu Tianpeng about what happened along the way. Fu Tianpeng immediately told Han Shizhong about his distress in Pingjiang Mansion, the attack on the broken temple, the deputy general in the battalion, Wang Beixin's investment in gold, and the arrest of people in Jin Bingshui Village.

After Han Shizhong took Zhao Ding's handwritten letter and read it, he was so angry that he got up. He scolded Wu Xi for betraying Song Toujin, and then he was angry that there was a villain like Wang Beixin in his camp. Han Shizhong took out the arrow and sent the general to arrest Wang Beixin and the two soldiers guarding the village.

Fu Tianpeng said to Han Shizhong at this time: "The marshal temporarily endures the wrath of the thunder, please listen to the next word." Han Shizhong slowly put down the arrow and said to Fu Tianpeng: "Young man, please have something to say." Fu Tianpeng said to Han Shizhong: "Marshal Han, after Wang Beixin captured us, there were masked black-clothed masters along the road to answer us, which shows that the people sent by the Jin State to the Song Realm are not just soldiers, but also characters from the rivers and lakes. Marshal, you must know that these characters in the rivers and lakes fly on the wall, come and go without a trace. If they find out favorable information, or sneak into the city and wait for an opportunity to assassinate our generals, then the consequences will be suffered. For example, let's consider the battle situation first, first control the fortresses along the river, and arrange heavy troops to prevent the Jin soldiers from advancing. ”

Han Shizhong praised Fu Tianpeng's suggestion, and then he asked Fu Tianpeng to conspire, how should the soldiers guarding the camp deal with it? Fu Tianpeng knew that Marshal Han loved soldiers like a son, and under the circumstances at that time, it might be really difficult for the soldiers guarding the camp to determine his identity. Therefore, Wang Beixin was deceived and used by Wang Beixin. Fu Tianpeng was very satisfied with the explanation he gave, and he also asked Han Shizhong to question the soldiers guarding the camp from the perspective of his duties.

After hearing Fu Tianpeng's words, Han Shizhong nodded again and again. In my heart, I praised Fu Tianpeng for being decent and astute.
