At this time, it was already evening, and the streets were still full of pedestrians, and the Daimyo's Mansion was really different from other state capitals, with many shops on the streets, and people coming and going.

Xiang Yuanjie sighed as he walked: "It's a pity that such a good country was given to Jin Ren like this, and it's really sad to sigh with sorrow." ”

Unlike Xiang Yuanjie, Xiao Linger did not sigh, he observed the people on the street, and found that although these people were wearing the clothes of the Jin people, their facial expressions were colorful, some were full of energy, some were full of sorrow, and some were colorless, he thought to himself, it seems that most of the Han people are unwilling to be governed by the Jin people, maybe one day, they will rise up and resist and drive the Jin people out. Thinking of this, Xiao Ling'er thought of the Yue family army again, and the pride in her heart rose spontaneously, and when she rescued General Xia, she joined the Yue family army together, went into battle to kill the enemy, and served the country, this is the true color of the hot-blooded man of the Great Song Dynasty.

Xiao Ling'er was thinking about how to drive the Jin people out, and Xiang Yuanjie next to him said: "Brother Xiao, there is a restaurant in front, why don't we go eat something first, and then find an inn to rest for the night, and then look for General Xia's whereabouts tomorrow." ”

Hearing the meal, Xiao Ling'er's stomach began to scream, and he seemed to smell the smell of roast chicken in his nose, he looked up at the restaurant, and said to Xiang Yuanjie: "Brother Xiang, look at this grade, it must not be cheap, or change it." ”

Xiang Yuanjie smiled: "I'll look at this house, let's go, eat a good meal first, and then talk about the rest." ”

"This ......"

Xiao Ling'er wanted to say something, but Xiang Yuanjie pulled him and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, big brother will treat you to a meal today." ”

"It's true. Xiao Ling'er stopped talking, "Because I helped a friend, I gave her all the money on my body, so now I have no money." ”

Xiao Ling'er told Ding Miao and the two children in Luzhou

Xiang Yuanjie was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said: "I heard about these two righteous men on the road, it's really good, but I didn't expect that there would be such a story later, brother, you did the right thing, I will do such a righteous act if it were me, don't worry about the silver, there is a big brother, you won't be hungry." ”

"Thank you, Brother Xiang. ”

"My own brother, thank you, go, let's go and have a full meal first. ”

Entering the restaurant, Xiang Yuanjie ordered several signature dishes, and Xiao Ling'er said: "Brother Xiang, just eat enough, don't waste it." ”

"Alas, brother, don't worry about it, anyway, the silver I spent is gold, this restaurant looks like a Han person, I use my silver to spend on the Han people, don't suffer a loss, you let go of your stomach today and eat it, don't think about anything else." ”

At this time, a roast goose had been served, Xiao Ling'er's stomach was almost in a hurry, he ripped off a goose leg: "That big brother, I'll listen to you, don't care about the rest, eat it first." ”

"Hahaha. Xiang Yuanjie smiled: "That's right, it's easy to do things when you're full first." After saying that, he ordered two more jugs of wine.

After not eating for a day, Xiao Ling'er was really hungry, and the table that seemed to be full of wine and food turned into residual soup and water in a blink of an eye.

After eating enough and having a good body, Xiao Ling'er said, "Brother Xiang, let's find a way to inquire about General Xia's news first." ”

Xiang Yuanjie said: "Brother, don't worry, just follow me." ”

Xiang Yuanjie took Xiao Ling'er to walk left and right on the street, and came to a remote place in the city, at this time the sky had fallen darkly, Xiang Yuanjie took out a bamboo tube from his arms, Xiao Linger knew that this was used for signaling, he asked: "Brother Xiang, you want to send a signal, what should I do if the golden people find out." ”

"Don't worry, I'm a firework, not a signal. After Xiang Yuanjie finished speaking, he twisted his hand, and a brilliant firework flew into the night sky, and as this firework rose into the night sky, many of the same fireworks also rose in other directions in the city.

Seeing the fireworks in the sky, Xiao Linger knew what Xiang Yuanjie meant, if it was sent from a single location, the Jin people might find it, but with such a shot, the Jin people thought it was playing, and there were so many fireworks in different places, they couldn't find it if they wanted to, but he still asked Xiang Yuanjie: "Brother Xiang, this is ......"

"Don't worry, you'll find out in a moment. Xiang Yuanjie put away the bamboo tube and waited quietly.

After a while, two men came over from the darkness and saw Xiang Yuanjie, and the two men arched their hands together: "General Xiang, you are here." ”

Seeing the two men, Xiang Yuanjie said as if he had already arranged it: "Liu Kui, Zhao Chong, how are things going." ”

The man named Liu Kui said: "General Xiang, you asked us to inquire about the news of General Xia, and we got the news yesterday that General Xia was detained by the Jin people in the Daimyo's mansion. ”

"Is the message reliable?"

Zhao Chong said: "The duel is reliable, the brothers who came to the Daimyo's Mansion in advance saw it with their own eyes, yesterday evening, I saw more than 20 Jin soldiers and two carriages coming to the city, and went directly to the mansion, at first I thought it was a person like a state official, but I didn't expect that there were a lot of Jin soldiers around immediately, and then our people saw two people coming down from the two carriages, it was General Xia and his daughter, and then they were escorted into the mansion by the Jin soldiers. ”

Listening to Zhao Chong's words, Xiao Ling'er remembered that it was the same as what she had seen in Luzhou, and it was General Xia and Xia Shuang in those two carriages, Xiao Ling'er regretted a little that she didn't realize that they would be in the car at the time, if she knew, the 20 Jin soldiers and Ben couldn't stop him, so that General Xia's father and daughter could be rescued. But now that we know their whereabouts, the top priority is to rescue them as soon as possible, lest they will be in danger of dying in the long night.

But there is one thing Xiao Ling'er didn't understand, why did the Jin people go to such great lengths to capture Xia Yuanfeng, it stands to reason that with the combat style of the Jin soldiers, the captured prisoners will basically be killed, and those who can be surrendered will be killed, and those who can't be surrendered will be killed, a leader of the rebel army like Xia Yuanfeng has no use value for the Jin people, why would he be arrested like this and not killed, and returned to the Daimyo's mansion, what idea does this Jin people want to fight on Xia Yuanfeng.

Xiang Yuanjie said to Liu Kui and Zhao Chong: "Now that I know the whereabouts of General Xia, I have to ask you to notify the other brothers, and be ready to go to the rescue at any time. ”

Liu Kui and Zhao Chong took the order and turned to leave, Xiao Ling'er praised: "It turns out that Brother Xiang, you have already made arrangements, otherwise even if you know the whereabouts of General Xia, it will take a lot of trouble to save it." ”

"Since General Xia was captured by the Jin people, I have collected the scattered troops in many places, and finally hit a lot, I have selected some people who are not afraid of death and know martial arts, and sent them everywhere to find out the news, so that it is much faster than we go to find it ourselves. ”

"The king in Luzhou is probably the same as them! I have been in contact with them. ”

"Yes, they told me the news that General Xia was in Luzhou. ”

Xiao Ling'er was puzzled: "But they didn't mention you." ”

"Maybe it's up to you alone, I don't believe you, it's okay, they'll come to the Daimyo's Mansion later, and you'll understand when we meet. Xiang Yuanjie looked up at the sky, "The night of the Daimyo's Mansion is also beautiful and lively, why don't we go for a walk?"

Xiao Ling'er said: "Let's find a place to live first, if you don't rescue people, no matter how beautiful the night scene is, you can't be interested." ”

"What my brother said is that the business is important, and when we have the opportunity, our brother should turn around. ”
