At the foot of Yeyun Mountain, Zhao Li Wang Qingzheng was carefully observing the courtyard of the house, and after two hours, it was the next day, the two of them were already sleepy, but they did not relax at all, and the black-clothed people around the courtyard were carrying a corpse and went to the high mountains and forests to bury it, and did not see Zhao Ping's figure.

The more Zhao Li looked at it, the more anxious he became, so he almost ran over to ask, Wang Qing comforted: "The county lord can't be anxious, I can't find the prince at the moment, that's the best news." ”

Zhao Li looked at Wang Qing and knew that what Wang Qing said was correct, and his father was not among the people in black, which was enough to show that his father was not caught.

But where is Daddy, if you don't see Daddy, you won't feel at ease, and after a while, you heard Wang Qing say: "County Lord, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, it will inevitably be detected, so let's leave early." ”

Zhao Li hurriedly said: "But where should we go now?"

Wang Qing thought for a while, and said softly: "The prince has not been captured by the gang of black-clothed people, he must have fled in one place, the current situation is tight, it should be to find the prince, it is expected that the prince will never hide in the town, he will only stay away from Ye Yun, I think it is to flee on the way back, and the county lord and the lower should go the opposite way." ”

Zhao Li thought about it, besides, his father ordered Wang Qing to go up the mountain to find himself, and he would never run away now, so he had to do so in order to reunite with his father as soon as possible.

So obey Yu Wang Qing, take advantage of the dawn, the two of them quickly went to the town to buy a fast horse, one person and one ride, ran away from the town, bypassed the village, and went straight to the outside of the village.

In the early morning of the next day, the glimmer of light rose one after another, the sky was clear, and the Yeyun Mountains were full of vitality, so that they were fresh and pleasant.

On this day, Ye Yun and his disciples, taking advantage of the cool morning, quickly walked down the mountain, and gradually ran to the town.

The eyes are full of Zhao Li's innocent smile, lingering, the portrait is amazing, as if it is a real person, everyone looks at the painting, as if they see Zhao Li himself, so real.

Xu Qing painted ten portraits, handed over to everyone early the next morning, and the group ran with swords, entered the town, divided into ten waves according to the portraits, and searched everywhere.

Although Zhao Li was famous for a while, he had just entered Ye Yun, after all, he was not seen by everyone, this time Zheng Kai summoned half of Ye Yun's disciples, including the disciples who patrolled the mountain, to go down the mountain to find people together.

The scene grew, the people were puzzled, and they asked what the situation was, but this matter must not be known to others, Ye Ji had already instructed not to leak half a sentence, and when searching, he only asked if he could see a strange woman, and all the families responded that they had not seen it.

In addition to ordinary people's homes, restaurants, teahouses, studies and other places were also searched one by one, but no one was found.

After searching for a long time without any results, Xu Qing, Lu Yunqi, Fu Zhen and others sat at a table, drinking tea to quench their thirst, Lu Yunqi only said nothing, but Fu Zhen asked her perfunctorily, her eyes were full of anger.

In this Yeyun Mountain, she was only as intimate as a sister to Zhao Li, and she never wanted to be used and deceived by her, but now she just wanted to find Zhao Li and question her.

But now there is no result, it is really annoying, Xu Qing sat up straight, his eyes moved slightly, looking into the distance, only to see the word "horse merchant" written on the plaque in front of a house.

Immediately thought that Zhao Li might come here to buy horses, so he took the scabbard and ran there, everyone was suspicious, and they followed, Xu Qing entered the courtyard, and saw that dozens of horses in the stable were enjoying horse feeding, and walked a few steps forward, followed by a few people, Fu Zhen asked the reason.

Xu Qing didn't pay attention to it, continued to walk on his own and entered the inner courtyard, but saw that there were two horses missing in a stable, and the old horse merchant was cleaning on the side, and when he turned around, he saw a group of Ye Yun disciples dressed in white, so he came over and saluted.

Everyone returned the salute, Xu Qing was the first to ask: "Uncle, may I ask you that the horse in this stable was bought today?" The groom replied: "Yes, before I got up this morning, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, I got up and opened the door, and I saw a man and a woman coming here to buy horses, so I sold the horses to the two of them." ”

Fu Zhen hurriedly handed over the portrait of Zhao Li, and the horseman took a look at it, and immediately replied: "It's this woman!" Everyone was shocked, Xu Qing turned around and said: "Since the two of them have purchased the fast horse, they should leave the town and go to another place at the moment, inform the rest of the disciples, no need to search again, go back to the town to discuss." ”

Outside Yeyun Mountain, on a hill far from the village, the grass and trees are lush, the mountain shape is slightly steep, and the sun is strong, but in the depths of the jungle there is no light beam, only dark and damp cold.

On the side of a big tree, there is a weak person lying down, the person's lips are pale white, the mouth of the snort is slightly raised, his eyes are half-closed, and his consciousness is unclear, it is Zhao Ping's fault.

There are several people around it, in the middle of a black-clothed old man, his eyes are at Zhao Ping's waist, his brows are slightly furrowed, and two gray cloth people are walking not far away, one is holding a few bunches of blue-gray herbs, and the other is holding a wooden bowl and a medicine pestle.

The two of them rushed up and put the herbs in a wooden bowl, smashed them carefully, took out the leaf juice residue and put it in their hands, squatted next to the big tree, and smeared the medicinal juice on Zhao Ping's waist.

Zhao Ping blinked his eyelids a few times, but there was no movement, and the two of them saw that there was no major problem, so they continued to wipe evenly.

After a while, the medicinal juice in the bowl was exhausted, the black cloth man looked at him slightly, and a slightly strong man beside him tore off a piece of coarse cloth, walked in front of Zhao Ping, stood up Zhao Ping's body, and the other person took the strong man's coarse cloth, and firmly wrapped the step around Zhao Ping's waist for a round, and gently tied it.

Zhao Ping, who was in the prime of life, picked up the unconscious Zhao Ping and walked to one place with everyone, and the dark-colored cloth shirt man was Huang Nansheng, the leader of the Shallow Water Gang.

Huang Nansheng raised Zhao Ping's empty hand, pinched his pulse, closed his eyes for a while, opened his eyes with slight joy, knowing that Zhao Ping's life was worry-free, and there was no big problem.

If Huang Nansheng did not appear in time for this thrill, he was afraid that Zhao Ping would be captured in the small village, Huang Nansheng's heart was a little relaxed, but he couldn't relax completely.

Looking into the distance, the disciple beside him asked, "Master, do we need to bring Prince Zhao back to the gang?"

Huang Nansheng looked at Zhao Ping and said in a condensed voice: "Don't worry about it for the time being, you wait to go outside the mountain to listen first, and after learning the news of Zhao Ru, quickly bring it here, and don't leak the slightest rumor." ”

The man nodded and took the order, and called seven or eight disciples to go out of the mountain, Zhao Ping, who was in his prime, was completely unconscious, and he didn't know when he would wake up.

The shallow water disciples looked for a cave, everyone entered the cave, three or five people went out of the cave to collect firewood, and after a while, returned to the cave and piled up the firewood.

One of them takes out a piece of wood, picks up a sharp stone, places the rough wood on the stone ground, places the tip of the stone on the thick wood, holds the stone tightly with both hands, and quickly turns the stone from side to side with force, and presses it downward.

As the hours went on, the disciple sweated more and more, and his arm ached, but the sharp stone in his hand could not be stopped, so he continued to rotate the stone, and everyone was anxious, and several of them also picked up the stone and turned it on the dry wood on the ground, and they were tired and sore.

There was a sound of scrubbing in the cave, which made people's goosebumps stand up, and they felt so annoying.

For a while, one of them finally drilled a spark, for a time the thatch came first, the dry wood came later, between the pieces of wood, a bonfire has been raised, and the cave is transparent and gray.

It was very cold in the cave, but now the sun was shining outside the mountain, and everyone was a little away from the fire, so that the vision was bright and not stuffy.

The prime of life dragged Zhao Ping's body, dragged to the cave wall and lay down, Zhao Ping woke up slightly, his eyes were faint, his eyes skimmed over a few people, his hands were struggling to support the ground, and his body was leaning against the wall.

His eyes froze, looking directly at Huang Nansheng, Huang Nansheng smiled lightly, and said, "How does the prince feel?"

Zhao Ping paused lightly, raised his arms slightly, put his hands together, and thanked him: "Thank you Huang Gang Master for saving your life." ”

After saying that, he knocked a few times, leaned against the mud wall softly, panting hard, and several disciples had a look on their faces, and they all comforted each other softly.

Zhao Ping saw these disciples, thinking of the bloody battle in front of Fang, just because he didn't notice it, he killed twenty shallow water disciples, he was ashamed, his head lowered slightly, Huang Nan looked at it and said: "Presumably, the prince is in pain in his heart, if he had listened to the words earlier, it would not have been like this." ”

Zhao Ping raised his eyes and looked at Huang Nansheng, and regretted it even more, he didn't say much at the moment, closed his eyes and pondered, and suddenly opened his eyes and said urgently: "This king regrets not listening to the words of the prince, and today he was rescued by the prince. Huang Nansheng said: "Is the prince asking me to help you find the county lord, yes or no?" Zhao Ping nodded, and replied: "If the Huang Gang Master can really save the little girl, this king will remember the great kindness of the Huang Gang Leader, and he will repay him in the future." ”

Huang Nansheng was silent, only looked at the fire, the fire made a thunderclap sound, illuminating Huang Nansheng brightly, Huang Nansheng avoided the firelight, stood up and walked away, Zhao Ping also moved slightly, and his eyes stayed on Huang Nansheng.

Huang Nansheng suddenly said: "If you help the prince find the county lord, the prince must agree to the next matter." Zhao Ping said suspiciously: "What does the Huang gang leader have to agree to?" Huang Nansheng said: "After the prince returns to Beijing to calm down the turmoil, he will stay in Beijing for three months, and after March, it will be a banquet on the river once a year, and the prince will be invited to come at that time." ”

Zhao Ping was suddenly startled, and asked repeatedly: "The Huang Gang Leader has always rarely asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, although the banquet on the river was held on the river boat dam not far from Lishui Lake, but I heard that the Huang Gang Leader has not paid attention to it once in these years, how can he be interested in going to this banquet this year?" Huang Nansheng smiled and said: "The prince really knows a lot, in the past, he couldn't go down, just because he was entangled in trivial matters, and now that the prince has gone, he will naturally go down." ”

Zhao Ping was suspicious again, and asked: "Why do you want this king to go?" Huang Nansheng replied: "The prince will know when he returns to Beijing, and now he will rest for a good life." ”

On Ye Yun Mountain, in the Xu Yu Pavilion, Ye Ji walked lightly and slowly, then his pace accelerated, and then he slowed down a few steps, thinking bitterly in his heart, and his face was worried.

A black shadow broke into the door, Ye Ji turned around suddenly, the black shadow was Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan paced over, feeling ashamed, and slowly hugged the salute and said: "Master, the disciple is incompetent, and he failed to capture Zhao Ping." ”

Ye Ji was shocked, shook his head and wondered, and hurriedly said: "Why? Then Zhao Ping is just a few people alone, and you can't hold him?"

Chen Yuan bowed his head and said: "The head of the house is angry, that Zhao Ping Lao'er has a lot of helpers, at first I tried to prevent variables, carefully explored, only to kill Zhao Ping's surrounding guards, as well as the attendants in the courtyard, I thought it was seamless, but when it came, I ran into a top master, when the top master ran away with Zhao Ping, I and the nightmare tried their best to catch up, and then ran to one place, and was stopped by a group of people, it was really invincible, so I had to withdraw to the nightmare, and asked the master to surrender. ”

Ye Ji thought about it carefully, turned around and stood still, holding his hand behind, he was very suspicious of the people next to Zhao Ping, according to Ye Ji's understanding, Zhao Ping was a person in Beijing, and rarely interacted with people in the rivers and lakes, and he never thought that the surrounding people were so protective.

Distressed in his heart, now that Zhao Li has left, he still doesn't know if the disciples can find it, so he is anxious and thinks about it, and sits down on the flower and wood chair.

Chen Yuan felt guilty, and asked about Zhao Ru, Ye Ji only said that Zhao Ru had gone down the mountain privately, and Zheng Kai and others were chasing each other step by step, Chen Yuan was quite surprised, knowing that Zhao Ping was really cunning.

In desperation, he had no choice but to speak: "Master, wait for the disciple to assign the Dark Nightmare to secretly explore Zhao Ru's whereabouts." ”

Ye Ji nodded thoughtlessly, Chen Yuan was about to leave the pavilion, Ye Ji suddenly told him to stop, Chen Yuan turned around and stared, not knowing what Ye Ji meant.

Ye Ji ordered: "You don't have to make the Nightmare look for people, there will be no trace near Ye Yun, you just need to send people as far as thousands of miles, outside the northern capital, guard the main road, and when Zhao Ru and Zhao Ping pass by, take it down, don't miss it again, all the disciples of your Dark Nightmare will be sent, and find a good horse as soon as possible." ”

Chen Yuan thought secretly, and replied after a pause: "The disciple receives the order." ”
