Zhao Weiming couldn't help but be suspicious, and when he jumped to the ground and touched it in the direction of the stone house. When I got closer, I found that the stone house was indeed not large, but it was all made of granite stones, which was very strong and durable.

The stone house has only one wooden door, but it has no windows, except for a slightly larger hole in the top of the wooden door. At this time, the man from before was talking to a man at the door.

But the man before asked, 'Is he still alive?' the master will release him in a few days, but it is not good to be dead!'

I can eat and sleep, but I don't have the fuss before. The man at the door answered. Yes-?

This is actually a prison cell! Zhao Weiming suddenly understood. Thinking that the people who could be imprisoned by these wicked people must be good people, Zhao Weiming stopped hiding and jumped out.

The two people in front of the door were stunned, and then rushed towards Zhao Weiming at the same time. Seeing this, Zhao Weiming didn't say much, and immediately raised his palms and fell, and the skulls of the two of them burst and splashed.

After eliminating the two of them, Zhao Weiming kicked the cell door open and walked indoors. I saw that the light was dim here, and there was only a pile of thatch piled up in the corner of the wall, and there seemed to be a person lying on it.

Hearing someone come in, the man got up and asked, 'But do you have anything to eat?' and his tone was weak, but his voice sounded very familiar.

Zhao Weiming hurriedly responded, "Don't panic, I'm here to rescue you!" The man listened to Zhao Weiming's words, and was stunned at first, and then walked out of the outdoors together.

But as soon as he got outside, the strong sunlight immediately caused the man to unconsciously cover his face with his hands. After he slowly put his hand down, Zhao Weiming's heart was shocked.

It turned out that that person was Lin Zhen'er's brother Lin Zhenying, the head of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau. I saw that his originally tall and sturdy body was already weak at this time, and his originally full face was also convex cheeks, which made him look even more skeletal; a pair of eyes that were originally quite majestic also lost their luster at this moment and seemed to be a little sluggish, coupled with unkempt makeup, it was very similar to the outfit of Hong Qi's grandfather, Hong Xian, when they first met.

Asked about the reason, Lin Zhenying said, "After you left that day, the dart master came again that night."

Before I could resist, I was caught and locked up by them. At the beginning, they tortured again and again, asking about the whereabouts of Xiao'er and the missing fragment, but I refused to admit it and let them do everything they could.

''And what happened later?' Zhao Weiming interjected. Lin Zhenying sighed and said, "Later, after they learned about the relationship between my family and the two elders of the Tianshan Mountains, although they were no longer tortured, their martial arts were abolished, and I was imprisoned on this deserted island, which has been counted for several months.

After hearing this, Zhao Weiming's heart moved, and he asked, "I heard from the eldest brother that Ling Lang was kidnapped by them a while ago, and I don't know where he is being held now?"

Lin Zhenying paused and said, "I have also probed the thief's mouth several times, but they insisted that they had never seen Xiao'er.

As he spoke, he sighed again and said, "I am relieved to make sure that the child has not been caught by them, and I will not be in a hurry to go out, but stay here to deal with them, in the hope that I can delay some time for Tu'er to escape from the clutches of the thieves."

Seeing Lin Zhenying sighing, Zhao Weiming hurriedly comforted, "The past, big brother doesn't have to mind too much!"

For now, I'll go with you to find Ling Lang first, and as for these thieves, we will come back to settle accounts with them!"

Seeing Lin Zhenying's jaw, Zhao Weiming quickly picked him up and led him all the way to the place where the boat was parked. As soon as he returned to Jinling City, Zhao Weiming immediately found a restaurant and arranged for Lin Zhenying to live, and then ate and drank with each other every day, talking about some gonzo stories on the rivers and lakes.

After receiving Zhao Weiming's explanation, Lin Zhenying also felt very relieved. After a few days, seeing that Lin Zhenying was no longer as depressed as before, Zhao Wei remembered that the golden-faced man had said that he would send killers to intercept and kill the Empress Dowager in Caizhou, Chenzhou, Songzhou and other places.

On the one hand, he hurriedly asked Tie Zhan to inform the distant Songzhou, Chenzhou and other places along the road to strengthen their vigilance, and he left Lin Zhenying with enough silver taels for him to recuperate in peace, and then hurriedly left in the direction of Caizhou, which was nearer.

Outside the city of Caizhou, a well-renovated and winding official road leads directly to Bianliang City in Tokyo of the Great Song Dynasty. At this moment, a team of guards in bright armor guarding an official sedan chair was slowly walking on this official road.

There were about 100 guards in this team, and the leader of the team was a sturdy man in his thirties. This man's name is Zhan Yong.

He was originally a famous thief in the green forests of the south, and then he was caught by the government when he committed a crime; when he was about to be beheaded, Wang Xianyuan, who was then the envoy of Suizhou Jiedu, cherished his extraordinary martial arts, so he let him wear the crime and serve as an errand in the house.

Because this king is not only the founder of the Great Song Dynasty, but also the righteous brother of Taizu back then; at the same time, he is also the son and daughter of Taizu, so although his order to the local government is quite complaining, but he does not dare to disobey.

This warrior is grateful for the life-saving grace of the lord, and he has been doing his best to serve under the king's judgment.

Wang Xianbei saw that he was really loyal and brave, and later promoted him to the commander of the Suizhou Mansion Guard, specializing in guarding his family members and assisting him to handle some thorny matters with Wang Zhan, the son of Suizhou Mansion Yin; since he was reused by Wang Xianyuan, this Zhan Yong was even more desperate to serve, plus some of his experience in the rivers and lakes in his early years; no matter the major and minor matters arranged by Wang Xianwei's father and son, they were all properly handled; therefore, Zhan Yong gradually became the person who relied on Wang Xianqi's father and son's confidants.

On this day, after Wang Zhanzhan returned home after handling official business, he and his wife Zhao did not say a few words, and Zhao sobbed.

When asked the reason, Zhao said sadly, "The concubine has been married into the Wang family since she was fifteen years old, and she has been abiding by women's morals for decades, and she has never returned to her parents' house easily."

But the concubine lost her mother since she was a child, and she was all brought up by Empress Xiaozhang; now the Empress Dowager's 80th birthday is approaching, and she is grateful for her nurturing grace, and thinks of her unfulfilled filial piety to her children.

After listening, because of the news of the murder of Taizu in many places recently, I had the intention not to let her go, but seeing that my wife was crying poignantly, I thought that since she married herself, although she is a princess, she is extremely filial to her in-laws, and she is very virtuous; even after being angry, she has never returned to her mother's house in Bianliang; if her adoptive mother does not go again for her 80th birthday, it is indeed unreasonable.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately comforted Zhao and said, "Madame doesn't have to be sad, I will arrange for a heavy gift, and don't delay Madame to go to celebrate my mother's birthday!"

Seeing that Zhao stopped crying, Wang Zhanzhan immediately picked out a few valuables in the family, and ordered Zhan Yong to select a team of guards to personally escort his wife into Beijing to celebrate her birthday.

With the escort of Zhan Yong, there is nothing to do along the way. But when Caizhou passed and was more than half of the journey, Princess Changyang suddenly became anxious and had to abandon the sedan chair and ride forward.

Zhan Yong hurriedly stopped and said, "Madame, don't do it! There is a place called Black Stone Ridge in front of you, and it is common to hear of bandits in the old days; Madame is still sitting in a sedan chair, and I will wait for a careful escort before we can protect it!"
