47 Dry and jade
You must know that this Yan Sidao can be regarded as the most mysterious person today, he has always known that he is white and black, hiding in the dark and turning clouds and rain, never leaving any traces, and no one can find out any clues about him. Even if he was entrusted by the leader www.biquge.info of the Wulin Alliance to come to Huguang to resolve the disaster of the theft of military salaries, although he was found by the Fujian giant thief Tong Yewai in Quanzhou, it was actually a flaw that he deliberately exposed. If it weren't for that, let alone a child's night crying, even if the entire martial arts came out, I wouldn't want to find his traces.
But unexpectedly, on the Dragon Leap Island in Dongting Lake today, Yan Sidao was actually drunk by the other party's identity, which was really unprecedented, so how could he not be shocked? Fortunately, this Yan Sidao was not an idle person after all, but in an instant, he had recovered his mind. Seeing the masked figure trembling on the iron net, he seemed to be terrified, and he suddenly understood: this Zhuang Haoming, as a court official, was ordered to come to Huguang on business, but now instead of returning to the court to report on his work, he also stooped to the den of thieves. If this matter is spread, I am afraid that he will be ruined and his family will be ruined immediately. So at this moment, this Zhuang Haoming's heart must be much more scared than himself.
At that moment, Yan Sidao hurriedly preemptively struck, stepped forward and shouted to the masked man: "You have to think clearly, the grievances between you and me, do you really want to make a break here?" You must know that at this moment, Xian Jingyue, Xie Qinghui and Yan Sidao are in danger, and they may be besieged by Zheng Qianjin at any time. Now, relying on his rhetoric, he disguised himself as a member of the imperial court to pacify the situation in Huguang, so that Zheng Qianjin was temporarily deceived in the past, so as to open the net and let them go.
If Zhuang Haoming on the iron network revealed the identity of the fugitive from Yan Sidao Heavenly Prison on the spot, then Zheng Qianjin would immediately know that he had been deceived, and he would not let these three people go. Although Yan Sidao was the first to speak, a cold sweat faintly broke out on his forehead.
He did a lot of calculations, and he didn't expect that someone in the world today would recognize him, let alone that the person who recognized himself turned out to be Zhuang Haoming, the chief catcher of the torture room, and happened to appear here again.
The masked man on the iron net was also hesitant for a while, not knowing what to do. Zheng Qianjin seemed to have known the identity of the masked man, and after listening to Yan Sidao and the two of them, she was slightly suspicious in her heart, and asked lightly: "It turns out that this old gentleman is not surnamed 'Xiao', but surnamed 'Yan' Mingsidao." Although he called the masked man "this friend", he did not refute that the masked man was not Zhuang Haoming, the head of the torture arrest room.
It turned out that on Longyue Island that day, Zhuang Haoming and Zheng Qianjin joined forces to plan a rebellion, and wanted to escort Jiang Wangcai to Jinling to receive the crime with the help of the torture and arrest room, as a scapegoat for the robbery of military salaries, and then calm down the turmoil. Who knew that it was about to be completed, but Xie Yixiang, who was traveling with him, suddenly turned back and rescued Jiang Wangcai, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.
Unexpectedly, this original whimsical plan actually succeeded in one fell swoop, but in the end, this change occurred, Zhuang Haoming was really angry and ruthless. He knew very well that if he returned to Beijing at this point, on the one hand, he would not be able to arrest Jiang Wangcai and return to the case, and he would not be able to explain to the imperial court; on the other hand, he would lose Xie Yixiang, and he would not be able to explain to the general Xie Fengxuan. Zhuang Haoming thought about it, so he had to temporarily live on this Longyue Island, and searched for the whereabouts of Jiang Wangcai and Xie Yixiang with Zheng Qianjin, but it was always in vain. Until today, Xian Jingyue and Xie Qinghui came to Dongting Lake to worship the mountain, although Zhuang Haoming did not have much contact with the two, but after all, he was the son and future son-in-law of the general Xie Fengxuan.
Unexpectedly, in a few words, Zhuang Haoming suddenly recognized that the old poor sour who came with Xian and Xie at this moment was actually the demon king of the prison that he had been imprisoned in with his own hands, and new hatred and old hatred suddenly surged into his heart. However, when this situation happened, he didn't know whether he should reveal the identity of Yan Sidao on the spot.
Seeing that Zheng Qianjin listened to the conversation between the two, she was already a little suspicious, Yan Sidao hurriedly laughed, and deliberately said ambiguously: "Mr. Zheng's question is redundant. Although the old man is just an idle man in the court, he also knows the head of the criminal arrest room. As soon as he finished saying this, Xian Jingyue beside him had already raised his voice and said, "Lord Zhuang, where is Yixiang?"
Seeing that Zhuang Haoming appeared here safe and sound, Xian Jingyue expected that Xie Yixiang would probably be fine, so he was a little relieved. Zhuang Haoming on the iron net was still hesitating to think about his identity, but when he heard Xian Jingyue ask about Xie Yixiang's whereabouts, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said in his heart: "After all, this Xian Jingyue and Xie Qinghui are old people, if they are implicated in this guy for the sake of Yan Sidao, and even die on this Dragon Leap Island, how can I bear it?"
At that moment, Zhuang Haoming said slowly: "I am very fortunate to meet the old man in the next occasion, this is a temporary gaffe, and I ask Brother Zheng not to be surprised." As for Yixiang's whereabouts, I don't have to worry about it first, and I don't know where she is now, but if she is smart and clever, she will naturally be fine. ”
When he said this, it was obvious that he was putting aside the personal grievances between himself and Yan Sidao, and he didn't care about it for the time being, Yan Sidao immediately smiled, and he was relieved in his heart. When Xian Jingyue heard that even Zhuang Haoming didn't know Xie Yixiang's whereabouts, she couldn't help but feel gloomy in her heart and became silent.
It turned out that although Xian Jingyue and Zhuang Haoming were both officials in the court, one was in the pro-army governor's mansion, and the other was in the Jinling Torture Arrest Room, and it was rare for them to even take a face-to-face relationship, not to mention that they were in private contacts, the reason why the two knew each other was because of the relationship between Xie Yixiang's father and daughter, so the two of them called each other official titles such as "adult" and "general office", which shows that they are unfamiliar on weekdays. Now that Xian Jingyue heard Zhuang Haoming's words, he thought that he would not deceive himself, so he had to ask again: "Can you tell me the details?"
Zhuang Haoming couldn't help sighing, he traveled west to Huguang this time, on the surface he wanted to arrest the rose thorn and bring it to justice, but secretly he wanted to win by surprise and capture Jiang Wang, the world's largest bandit, before returning to Beijing to make a mission. Although all these plans were planned by him personally, he had also consulted the Holy Providence in advance, so he naturally did not dare to tell others casually. So in the face of Xian Xian Jingyue's question, he had to shake his head at the moment and said, "Please forgive me first, there is no comment on this matter." ”
Xian Jingyue groaned for a while, seeing that this trip to Longyue Island, he finally failed to find out the news of Xie Yixiang, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged. He immediately turned his head to look at Xie Qinghui, after all, Xie Qinghui is Xie Yixiang's second brother, and he has more right to call the shots about Xie Yixiang than himself. saw Xie Qinghui's gloomy face, his expression was very ugly, and he just said lightly: "I'll stop today." ”
Yan Sidao saw the attitude of Xian Jingyue and Xie Qinghui, and knew that if the three of them stayed for a moment, there would be a little more change, and he hurriedly smiled: "It's not early at this moment, I am waiting for the mountains and rivers to come today, and I am already exhausted now." I will take my leave first, I wonder what else Mr. Zheng has to say?"
That Zheng Qianjin groaned for a while, and then looked up at Zhuang Haoming on the iron net on the top of the mountain, seeing Zhuang Haoming nodding, he didn't say much at the moment, and then ordered someone to open the secret passage of the mountain wall in this Yubi Peak, which made people send Xian Jingyue, Xie Qinghui and Yan Sidao out of the peak.
At that moment, the man in green under the gate of Dongting Lake accompanied him all the way, and sent the three of them straight to the berthing place on the edge of Longyue Island. The Yubi Peak, where everyone is located, is located in the south of Longyue Island, and although it is flat on all sides, there is a steep deep ravine on the shore of the lake, which can be used for mooring boats. But seeing that at this time under the setting sun, dozens of "Flying Tiger Divine Ships" were neatly docked by the lake, and the scene was very spectacular. Xian Jingyue had seen the imperial court's sailors in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and compared with the grandeur of Dongting Lake in front of him, it was naturally beyond reach. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Yan Sidao seemed to see through his thoughts, and laughed in a low voice: "There is a way to 'specialize in the art industry', this water war is not what my dynasty is good at, not to mention that defeating the enemy may not depend entirely on the benefits of utensils." Thinking back to the battle of Poyang Lake in the past, what kind of scenery was it when Jiang Wangcai's old master sailed thousands of miles and closed his flag in the sky? Who knew that Mr. Qingtian had only used dozens of fishing boats, and overnight the wind and fire were boundless, and they were killed in ashes and fled in the desert after talking and laughing, and they were no longer able to chase the Central Plains. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "It's like Zhu Ruoyu who sacrificed himself on the cliff of Mount Emei, holding a 'Dinghai Sword', known as the head of the seven great divine weapons of martial arts. Hehe, if he meets Brother Jingyue, the two sides will fight to the death, but I'm afraid that this Zhu Ruoyu is just a dead soul under the knife. Therefore, the value of an artifact never lies in itself, but in the person who uses it. ”
Xian Jingyue was noncommittal at the moment, just striding forward, and Xie Qinghui next to him also didn't say a word, following next to Xian Jingyue. Yan Sidao's words made him bored, but he didn't care about it at the moment, just smiled slightly. I saw that the men in green led the three of them to the shore, beckoned a small boat from the row of "Flying Tiger Divine Ships", and respectfully invited the three of them to board the boat.
