Chapter 369, the fat man enters the village
In the camp of the Tongque Army in Dangyang County, the princess Shui Ruyue frowned, and since she got the news that Shen Xiaoyu had inquired from the Luoyu Pavilion, she immediately sent two hundred soldiers to go around to the deep valley behind the Tongque Mountain to search. Cheng Zifei offered a plan, and found a few hunters in the mountain, and asked the soldiers to bring enough ropes, and slowly put people down from the peak of the mountain behind Tongque Mountain, trying to find the prince.
Even Tong Gensheng, the old master of the Qingniu Palace, was also alarmed, and the old master of Tong sent hundreds of Taoist priests to join the search for the prince, and everyone brought rice, vegetables, and tents, and stationed them in the back of Tongque Mountain, and kept using ropes to let people go down from the cliff, but still did not find any clues about the prince.
Shui Ruyue was afraid that the news was not sure enough, so he personally took more than 1,000 people and horses to the back mountain to look for five days, and sent more than a dozen people with good water to dive into the bottom of the nameless lake in the back mountain to find out, the lake water was clear and transparent, and if there was a corpse, it would naturally be able to see, but everywhere there was no trace of the prince.
Seeing that the hope of finding the little brother is getting slimmer and slimmer, Shui Ruyue, who is sitting in the military tent waiting for the news, feels sad and tears can't stop crying, Liu Ruqing is trying to persuade each other on the side, it is nothing more than saying that Ji people have their own natural appearance, and the prince is also a person with a long life. Liu Ruqing was persuading hard, and a small school rushed in to report, "Princess Qiyu, there are Jiang Zhenyu and others outside the camp who ask to see Niangniang!"
When Shui Ruyue heard that the fat man was coming, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and took Liu Ruqing out to greet her, only to see Jiang Fatman walking in from outside the barracks with a big head, surrounded by Shui Rulong and others. Shui Ruyue saw the fat man and his brother coming, but he saw his relatives, and he couldn't stop crying like rain, Shui Rulong hurried over to comfort his sister.
The fat man shook his head and said with a dry smile: "I said princess Niangniang, my eldest sister-in-law, don't cry first! Although our prince and old brother Tang have not been found yet, it is not necessarily a bad thing, and the fact that the body has not been found means that this person is still alive! The fat man is here today, and he wants to go to him in person to find him back!"
Shui Ruyue hurriedly wiped her tears, "Fatty, of course I hope he is safe and sound!" I'm just afraid that he will fall to the bottom of the cliff and be swallowed by wolves, insects, tigers and leopards before he falls to his death, so we haven't found it!"
The fat man shook his head, "No, no, if you think about it carefully, even if you are eaten by some tiger, leopard and bear, there must be bones left! Besides, it is two people who fall, even if both of them are eaten by wild beasts, and the Seven Emotions Sword cannot be eaten, it is impossible to even find the sword! Isn't it such a truth? Call the fat man, I will come to see, the old Tang Fu has a great life, and he may have been saved by some high-ranking hermit, and he may not be able to say what peerless martial arts he is practicing!"
Hearing the fat man say this, Shui Ruyue felt that it was very reasonable, and hope was rekindled in his heart, and the fat man and others entered the camp with Shui Ruyue, and everyone sat down and poured tea each.
The fat man drank two large bowls of tea one after another, and then said: "My throat is smoking! This way I ran wildly, and it took three days to rush from Anshu County, and several horses were tired to death, but I was tired to death! I heard Ximen's second sister-in-law and Du Ruo's sister-in-law say that Lao Tang disappeared after competing with others, and he made me anxious! I saw Cheng Zifei rushing to the back mountain outside!
Shen Xiaoyu on the side was unhappy, "Can that still be fake?" It was said by Yuhe Tongjun himself and the hall master of the Jiannan Branch of Luoyu Pavilion!"
The fat man shook his head, "That Crane Boy is not a good thing! However, if Old Tang and the others really jumped off the cliff, then they should focus on searching under the cliff, and there must be people up and down!"
Shui Ruyue nodded, "I have already sent two hundred soldiers to make a detour to the cliff of the back mountain to search! I'm afraid that this news is not safe, so I took someone to search the back mountain again, but I still found nothing!"
The fat man patted his thigh, "My eldest sister-in-law, such a big Tongque Mountain, so deep at the bottom of the cliff and valley of the back mountain, you sent 200 people over, no wonder you can't find it! Not to mention 200 people, it is 2,000 people, which is far from enough for the deep valley of the back mountain! Okay, the fat man I know what's going on, you give me a thousand soldiers and horses, and then lend me a sparrowhawk, the fat man I want to take people to the deep valley of the back mountain to find it!"
Shui Ruyue heard the fat man say this, and decided to go in person to rest assured, and was shouting in the military tent, outside the tent
In the chaos, I heard some soldiers shouting: "Who are you? Stop! If you don't stop, we'll release our arrows!"
Liu Ruqing was taken aback, who dared to come to the army camp to make trouble? Liu Ruqing walked out of the camp tent with a calm face to check, and after a while, he took an unkempt person into the military tent with a happy face, Shui Ruyue couldn't help but let out an "oops" when she saw this person coming in, and couldn't help but stand up, it turned out to be Long Zilan!
Shui Ruyue saw Long Zilan, and was surprised and delighted, "Long Zilan, where is my lord? Where did he go? Some people say that you jumped off the cliff with him in your arms, is it true?"
Long Zilan nodded with a look of shame and said: "Yes, that day I competed with Tang Jiusheng, but I didn't expect that the night cry would hide in the reeds by the lake, he used a crossbow arrow to plot against Tang Jiusheng, Tang Jiusheng was directly pierced by a crossbow arrow from the night cry, when I wanted to escape with Tang Jiusheng's body, I was chased by Wu is cloud, night crying and Yuhe Tongjun, and when I was cornered, I jumped off the cliff with Tang Jiusheng's corpse!"
Long Zilan's words were really like a thunderbolt from the blue to these people in the military tent! Shui Ruyue asked in surprise: "Long Zilan, is my prince really dead?"
Long Zilan shook her head and said: "I'm not sure if Tang Jiusheng is dead or not, when I jumped off the cliff with him in my arms, it was like falling from the sky, and on the way down, the two of us broke a lot of trees, and I kept hitting those trees with the qi machine to use it as a buffer, and finally the two of us fell into the lake at the bottom of the valley, so that we were lucky not to fall to death, but we also fell to the bottom of the lake!
The fat man was busy, "And then? What about Old Tang?"
Long Zilan said again: "I didn't expect that the lake was alive, it was the source of a river, the two of us were washed down by the river, I was not very good at water, I was really exhausted by the water, I used my last bit of strength, and reluctantly pushed Tang Jiusheng onto a big log that fell in the water, he was washed downstream by the river, and I didn't know where I was! I choked on the water, I don't know who happened, and when I woke up, I had been washed to the shore, and I was lucky to pick up a life." ”
Shui Ruyue said in a trembling voice: "According to what you say, my prince is really more than lucky?"
Long Zilan said with palpitations: "That's not necessarily, when I pushed him onto the log, he seemed to have a little bit of anger in his nose." I myself was seriously injured, and I barely caught some fish, shrimp and hares in the deep mountains and old forests to survive, and I barely survived by eating those things, and after I recovered some strength, I slowly struggled out of the mountains, and wanted to report to you! I am still injured, and I can't even beat the people of the Four Rank Realm!"
Calculate it, it has been more than a month since Tang Jiusheng fell off the cliff, Long Zilan was recuperating in the mountains, and now she escaped unkempt to report the news, then the direction was determined at once, and you can find it from the source of that river! Since Tang Jiusheng fell down on the big log, this is the clue, and someone will always find the trace!
After Shui Ruyue got the exact news, her spirit doubled, and she immediately lit up thousands of people and horses, and sent people to the mountain to call Gao Chongyang and Cheng Zifei back, leaving only Han Laosan to command on the mountain.
Shui Ruyue took Fatzi, Gao Chongyang, Cheng Zifei, Wang Changlong, Long Zilan and others with dry food, Qing Shui, Sinan and other things on their backs, and went around to the deep valley of the mountain behind Tongque Mountain to find the source of the river, and then slowly searched downstream. The family is still in charge of water like a dragon, Liu Ruqing and others. Han Laosan still stayed at the top of the back mountain, and commanded his subordinates to use ropes to lower the mountain to find Tang Jiusheng, without delay on either side.
There are also two or three hundred miles of road from the military camp to the back mountain, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, fortunately it has been sunny and not raining in the past few days, otherwise thousands of people and horses will be difficult to walk on this kind of big dirt road.
Shui Ruyue took this army to stay hungry and thirsty for the night, and trekked for two days, and on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the team came to a small village called Qinghe Village, it was already sleepy and tired.
Shui Ruyue encouraged the soldiers, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I know everyone has worked hard! This time I will go back, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, let's go back and make up for another Mid-Autumn Festival!" When all the soldiers heard that there was a silver reward, they all cheered, and their morale was immediately boosted.
Qinghe Village is on a flat land in the mountains, there are more than 200 households, close to the Qinghe River, the source of the Qinghe River is the big lake in the deep valley, the fat man and Shui Ruyue discussed, he wanted Shui Ruyue to lead the team to continue to search in the mountains, he wanted to stay in this village to find out if there was any news of Tang Jiusheng, Shui Ru
Moon nodded in agreement.
Xu Dalong, who was eating, heard the noise at the entrance of the village, and hurriedly ran out to see the excitement, only to see that the road was dusty, and thousands of soldiers lined up and walked over neatly, led by a girl who was riding a horse, like a flower and a jade, and a few lieutenants with armor behind him, Xu Dalong stuck out his tongue, "How blessed does this have to be a person to marry such a beautiful girl?"
Uncle Gu, who came to the entrance of the village to watch the excitement from a distance, whispered beside him: "Be a little quieter, I heard that Princess Wei led this army of thousands of people to the barren mountains and mountains to practice mountain warfare, and she has to go inside, more than 200 soldiers entered the mountain from here a few days ago, and these people should have followed!"
Xu Dalong nodded, he had no interest in the army, he was just here to see the beauties, not to mention anything else, this princess is really beautiful and eye-catching! The villagers were looking at this army on the side of the road and discussing, a young fat man who was not wearing a military uniform jumped off the horse, followed by two lieutenants in armor and more than a dozen soldiers walking towards the village.
The people in the village had never seen the world, and when they saw that a military master was about to enter the village, they were frightened and ran away, and they all ran home. The more daring ones hid behind the door to watch, and the more timid ones hid behind the window and secretly watched, and they didn't know what these military masters were doing when they entered the village.
The fat man grinned, and said helplessly: "Rub, fat man, I am so handsome, and I am here to ask you about things, what are you all running? You all ran away and let the fat man ask who to go?" The fat man turned around and asked Cheng Zifei and Wang Changlong, "Fat man, why do I have an intuition, Old Tang is in this village?"
Cheng Zifei said with a smile: "Fat man, wouldn't it be better if the prince was really in this village? Let's take the prince back directly, and then everyone will go to the Qinglou to drink a flower wine and sleep peacefully, what a good thing it is! Fat man, don't you know, this month can make us miserable!"
Wang Changlong shook his head, "There's no reason! Oh, the prince is in this village, and people won't go back or greet us? At least send a villager out to report to us, won't we come to pick him up?"
The fat man hummed a little song, shook his head and said, "It's all here, what are you suspicious of, follow the fat man into the village!
The three of them entered the village with a dozen or so soldiers, Cheng Zifei walked to the door of the first house, and asked an elderly villager who was hiding behind the door with a smile, "Uncle, where is your village chief's house?
The old villager hiding behind the door pointed to the middle of the village and said boldly: "Go along this road, there are three brick houses in the middle of the village, and a big black dog is tied to the door!"
Cheng Zifei smiled and thanked the villagers who showed the way, and walked towards the village with the fat man and the others. After half a cup of tea, he walked to the door of the three brick houses with the big black dog chained, and the big black dog saw the stranger coming, and kept barking wildly, making a gesture to pounce up! The fat man squatted down and smiled: "Little black dog, you bark a few more times and try, believe it or not, the fat man directly pinched you to death, stewed you and ate dog meat?"
Cheng Zifei asked loudly at the door, "Is the village chief at home?"
The village chief Lu Ergen was eating lunch, heard a commotion outside, but didn't know what was going on, just about to come out to see the excitement, he saw a fat man with two generals and a dozen military masters came to the door of his house, the big black dog barked non-stop, and then someone shouted outside the door of the village chief.
Lu Ergen's heart was furious, and he hurriedly ran out to stop the barking of the big black dog, and asked with a smile on his face: "Down there's the village chief Second Brother Lu, a few generals, I don't know what to do here?"
The fat man said with a hippie smile: "Village Chief Lu, we are from the Weiwang Mansion, and we don't have anything expensive to do, I just want to ask, has there been a young man who has fallen into the water in your village recently?
When Lu Ergen heard this, his heart flipped over, so many soldiers have entered the village, is Shui Sheng a bad person? Lu Ergen kept an eye on him, and said with a smile: "Ouch, this fat man, what do you say this person is doing?"
The fat man saw Lu Ergen's eyes erratic, thinking that there was a door, the fat man touched the tip of his nose, and deliberately glared and said: "If you know him, don't hide it and don't report it, hurry up and hand him over, otherwise be careful to cut him all over the door when the time comes!"
