Chapter 164: Qinglian pours autumn rain, and the ancient sword fights for wind and thunder
Chendu County, formerly known as Yuandu, is located on the south bank of the Hunhe River and the north bank of the Yanguo Zhangzhou, the six counties under its jurisdiction, compared with other counties and counties in the state, are much smaller, but the goods between the north and the south here are prosperous, inns, wine shops are lined up, giving birth to a lot of rivers and lakes and green forests to come here to seek life, and the public security is very poor.
The wide streets, on both sides of the rammed pavement, have rows of small holes that have been dripped by rain for many years, low-eaves alleys, stone dirt roads soaked in rainwater, and splashed by hurried pedestrians.
The autumn rain fell for three days in a row, and in the nearby wine shop, Fang Xuejun sat in the private room on the second floor, eight knives tied together and wrapped in a long cloth and snuggled at the table.
This is the tenth day of entering the Wei realm by boat from Zhangzhou, in order to hide people's eyes, she and her subordinates scattered in different directions into the city, there are many rivers and lakes and green forests in the city, and there are more than a dozen people, and they have not attracted attention.
In a moment, a woman in a power suit came up from below, with a body of moisture.
"Snow Monarch ......"
It is Fang Xuejun's senior sister, who is good at using a pair of mandarin duck knives, since she knew that her junior sister has now become the princess of King Xia, she brought several senior brothers from the division overnight, as well as friends who are familiar with the rivers and lakes.
"Senior sister, how are you inquiring?" Fang Xuejun poured tea for her.
"I'm a little eyebrow-raising."
The woman's surname is Li, Mingqiu, one year older than Fang Xuejun, her appearance is quite beautiful, but she is tall, and her family originally said a family affair for her, but the other party heard that she was a green forest, so she directly refused to say goodbye.
At present, he is still not married until twenty.
Li Wangqiu drank the tea directly and put down the cup: "Just now, I took over with a few senior brothers, and the news should be almost the same." His cousin was supposed to have been captured by a gang in the area, and someone who had seen them gather in the middle of the night. According to my inquiry, this gang is related to the family of Sikong of the Wei court, and it should be controlled by a family member of the third prince of the imperial court. ”
Fang Xuejun frowned, she was somewhat prepared in her heart, after all, she found Guo Jia ten days ago, and he guessed that it might be someone from the Wei court.
At the moment, it sounds a little tricky.
"Then senior sister, can I ask where Su Ting was taken? If it is brought to Luyang, the capital of Wei State, things will be in trouble. ”
"I can't inquire, after the other party captured that Su Gongzi, there was no movement, and their people have been living in seclusion recently. If you want to know where Su Gongzi is being held, it is best to catch the other party's gang leader...... Or...... Take down Chen Dujun's Taishou, but these two are difficult to do, don't talk about Taishou Mansion for our little ones, it's good to be able to rob the prison. ”
Li Wangqiu's words later, in fact, wanted to persuade this junior sister not to mess around.
However, Fang Xuejun didn't listen to her words, and the corners of her eyebrows raised: "Deep and simple, ......"
What happens to be a secluded outfit?
Hiding from danger, or...... Set up an ambush!
Following Su Chen in and out of the barracks for a period of time, Fang Xuejun knew some things, she hurriedly picked up the bundle of knives on the table, turned it over to her back and tied it, and her tone was fast: "Senior sister, inform the senior brothers, hurry up and get out of the city, the other party may have an ambush, we have been investigating the situation here in the past few days, maybe the other party already knows, senior sister will leave from the north gate with all the way, and I will take all the way out from the east gate, quick!" ”
Putting down a few copper coins, the two of them quickly went downstairs and walked out of the tea house one after the other.
……
After days of autumn rain, the temperature plummeted.
The gloomy prison is even more cold and damp, and the mottled bloodstains and human feces and urine are mixed together, which is an indescribable stench.
The ragged figure cowered in the corner, the pain on his body was not completely healed, and then the sound of the lock was opened, and several jailers walked in.
Seeing them, Su Ting trembled.
This is the prison of Chen Dujun's government, which has been tortured for more than ten days, so that Su Ting almost collapsed, fainted several times, was woken up by cold water, continued to torture, and there was no place to beat him.
"Please...... I'm really an ordinary trader in Yan Kingdom...... My surname is Liu ...... My name is Liu Chuanxu...... A native of Qizhou. ”
The continuous torture, unpalatable food, and muddy water made him sick and feverish, and he was vaguely dragged to the torture cell by the jailers, beaten and knelt on the ground.
He knew that once the other party knew that his name was Su Ting, the two big clans who colluded with him would be punished by the Wei court, and it would be extremely difficult to contact him again in the future.
And the second reason is that Wei Guo gave his brother Su Chen an excuse to attack, saying that he could not move this matter to the massacre of the people of Fenzhou. said that Su Chen was wrong first, and Wei Guo retaliated.
Whether it's true or not, there will always be people who believe it.
"Brother Liu, just say it, if you keep your mouth hard, you will only be the one who suffers."
The executioner was the cell head, and there were many ways to torture people, he held a handful of coarse salt in his hand, and looked at Su Ting with a smile.
"Do you have to live for yourself...... If you say that, you will suffer less. ”
"I'm really ...... Traders...... Food shortages in the Northland...... I came here to buy grain and sell it back, and I could make a lot of money...... A few brothers raised their noble hands, I have a rich ...... Give me a chance to honor a few big brothers, okay? ”
"Hehe, my brothers want to collect this money, but they have the life to collect it, but they don't have the life to spend it, who dares to do it." The cell boss smiled and glanced at the two jailers, stripped Su Ting's clothes, and sprinkled the coarse salt in his hand little by little, drenching it on the wound.
The wound that had just healed a little, Su Ting, who was suddenly in pain, scratched with both hands, and his body became bloodstained in a moment.
"Come, put the torture instrument on Brother Liu."
The cell head sat back on the shabby chair, poured a bowl of herbal tea on his legs, and watched while drinking it, while the two jailers over there put the clamping sticks on Su Chen's feet.
The two jailers pulled left and right, and the clamps tightened.
Su Ting: "Ah! With a loud scream, the whole person threw himself on the ground and wanted to roll, but was trampled on the back by two jailers, unable to move.
"I've recruited, recruited!"
The cell boss smiled and raised his hand to let his men go, "That's right!" ”
He was just about to continue asking, but Su Ting hurriedly said, "My name is Liu Chuanxu, a businessman from Yuzhou, ......."
"Keep the torture!"
The cell boss felt that he had been tricked, his face was ugly, and he continued to let his subordinates torture him, but after only half a while, Su Ting called out again, paused for a while, and retracted his confession.
He was so angry that his face turned green.
In the past, to deal with this kind of person, he directly forced the confession to be completed, but the other party may have to be escorted to Luyang, and if he goes there to retract the confession, he will not be able to make a difference.
You have to let the other party write the confession by hand to finish the matter.
"Brother Liu...... Seeing that you are not very old, why bother? Don't you want to wait for someone to come to save you, there are eyeliner everywhere outside, and a net has already been laid in the sky, just waiting for your accomplice to enter the net! When the time comes, they'll confess, and you'll be worthless. ”
"My name is Liu Chuanxu......"
"Keep the torture!"
……
The autumn rain has not stopped.
A group of seven people were dressed in different costumes, and the leader Fang Xuejun was dressed in a cloak and wore a hat and flew out of the city gate, and the eight knives tied behind his back shook and rattled.
Less than half a mile out of the city gate, when she turned to the east ferry, a few groups of people stood in the rain waiting for her and her brothers in the middle of the slope.
"What a handsome." A bald-headed, strong man with a tattoo on his head was in the rain, looked at Fang Xuejun, turned around and smiled: "Blessed is that thing in everyone's crotch today." ”
"Presumptuous!"
Behind Fang Xuejun, several senior brothers stepped forward one after another and pulled out the saber in their hands. Around, the people of the Xuanshui Gang laughed, and they were not afraid of the seven people in this line, and they showed their weapons one after another.
"Don't waste time, take them down!"
"Woo ......"
At the same time as the words of the strong man of the Xuanshui Gang sounded, another drunken sigh came, and the voice was ethereal, as if it sounded in all directions.
"Who?!" The strong man carried a big knife and drank violently.
A long sigh from behind also followed: "...... Woohoo! ”
Everyone only heard this long sigh at this time, coming from an old tree twenty steps away, Fang Xuejun and the brothers around him looked up, a middle-aged man in a green shirt and white robe was lying on a branch on his back, a long sword was hanging, holding a gourd in one hand, and taking a sip from time to time.
"After a long journey, I didn't even have time to drink a few sips......"
"Everyone's move to put the bright spot, brother over there, surround him first!" The strong man was also not afraid, "Let's ...... this side first"
Before he finished speaking, the seven or eight people who rushed over there suddenly let out a miserable scream, and their figures fell down crookedly from side to side, and they saw several figures in brocade robes and embroidered clothes standing under the old tree, and the camouflage in their hands that looked like tree bark was thrown to the ground.
"What?!"
The moment the strong man looked at his subordinates on the other side and fell to the ground, he looked at the branches above the old tree, only the branches and leaves swayed, and the drunken old man was long gone.
The next moment, I heard a voice: "The birds are flying high, and the lonely cloud is alone ......"
He raised his head suddenly, and the figure in the green shirt and white robe had jumped above them, and then, with a bang, rushed down, sword light flew, and the falling raindrops were split in an instant, turning into a fan and flying out.
"I don't get tired of seeing each other......"
The strong man roared and rushed into the battle group, and the big knife slashed out, and with a 'bang', the big knife flew into the air, and a round of sword light across his neck was pulled by.
The white-robed figure of Qingshan stood behind him, and only then did the last verse fall: "...... There is only Jingting Mountain. ”
The body of the strong man fell with a bang, and the long sword in the middle-aged man's hand was inserted into the scabbard, and he reached out to take the wine gourd that had fallen down, and poured it into his mouth.
He smiled and arched his hand towards Fang Xuejun and the others, who opened their mouths in unison.
"Under the embroidery division...... Qinglian monk Li Bai! ”
……
Almost at the same time.
At the east gate of Chendu County, Li Wangqiu and the five Jianghu people were not so lucky, and before they rushed to the city gate, they were stopped by the Xuanshui Gang on a street.
Under the eaves in the rain, she was vigorous in this long street, moving back and forth, kicking the pillars under the eaves, turning in mid-air, a pair of mandarin duck knives in her hands and slashing out with a brush, and slashing a few times in the chest of a Xuanshui Gang master who flew over.
The corpse fell to the ground, Li Wangqiu also fell to the ground, the hat was gone, and the clothes were scrapped in the chaotic fighting.
She touched the water stains on her face, and the street she looked at was already in chaos, and in the direction of the city gate, the masters of the Xuanshui Gang had not yet come out.
Two of his men fell, and the rest were knocked back.
Li Wangqiu's silver teeth clenched, knowing that she couldn't rush today, she held the handle of the knife and said in a low voice: "Children of the rivers and lakes, sooner or later you will die, you fight again!" ”
The three who had returned pursed their lips and nodded.
The footsteps that could not be heard under the cover of rain, breathing, and words were clearly heard in everyone's ears at this moment, and several Xuanshui Gang masters turned around in the direction of the city gate.
The rain clattered on the top of the umbrella and splashed.
A black-robed and white-clothed figure holding an umbrella walked through the lead-blue rain curtain, holding an ancient sword in his left hand, the leather reins tied to the head of the sword, and swaying back and forth at the man's feet.
"Your Excellency, don't come here!" Li Wangqiu thought it was a chivalrous man in the green forest of the rivers and lakes who was fighting unevenly, and hurriedly shouted at the other party.
However, the faces of the masters of the Xuanshui Gang changed slightly, and they felt a trace of 'tricky' from the other party's breathing and walking movements.
"Who is Your Excellency?" Someone asked in a low voice.
"I'm going to arrest someone."
Under the paper umbrella, Pei Min slowly raised his face and looked at these people, "His name is Sword Cutting Iron, I heard that he is the leader of the Xuanshui Gang, but here?" ”
"Don't be ashamed!"
Pei Min raised his left hand, pushed his thumb to the hilt of the sword, the sword body buzzed out, and his left hand grabbed the hilt, that is, a sword was slashed on the other party's body, the scabbard had not yet landed, the ancient sword had been put into the sheath, and it was also held by Pei Min on the way down.
The long whip broke into two and landed in the stagnant water, and the master who split the fly fell directly to the ground, and a blood mark spread from the door of the head to the lower jaw.
And Pei Min only stopped for half a breath and walked with a paper umbrella.
"Pei Min, the commander of the Embroidery Division of Xia Yan Kingdom, came to kill people by the order of King Xia."
That skill just now was enough to stun everyone.
Hear the other person's last sentence.
Everyone present was stunned, including Li Wangqiu and them.
