Chapter Twenty-Eight: Another Picture
"Nephew Yu Xian, can you prepare a pen and paper for me? Jin Fang gasped and said.
"Okay, junior, let's go get it. Yu Zhong exited the house. Xie Huchen also followed, and gently closed the door.
"Brother Yu, I have something to tell you, this Lord Jin has been imprisoned for nearly thirty years, tortured, malnourished, and his wounds have not been healed, I really can't imagine what kind of will he has persevered to live to this day. Xie Huchen said with a solemn face.
"Dust, what do you mean ......"
"Lord Jin has run out of oil and the lamp has dried up, and the reason why I have been able to talk to you for a long time is just to return to the light. Xie Huchen lowered his head.
"I see, I'll go get a pen and paper......" Yu Zhong clenched his fists and turned away silently.
"Lord Jin, I've sent pen and paper. Yu Zhong pushed the door in.
At this time, Jin Fang was obviously much weaker than just now.
"Virtuous nephew, since you are loyal and righteous, I will entrust you with the national fortune of the Southern Han Kingdom today. Jin Fang gasped, sweat pouring down his face. I saw him pick up the pen and quickly start drawing on the paper.
"Lord Jin, this is the ...... you painted" Yu Zhong already knew at this moment that Jin Fang was close to running out of oil and running out, and this was to be entrusted with the future.
"Virtuous nephew, remember, this picture must not fall into the hands of Cao Xiangui......" Jin Fang is using the last strength of his life to write hard, he has worked hard for 30 years, just for today. Yu Zhong watched from the sidelines, his grief and indignation were overflowing, and at this moment he knew what it meant to be for the country and the people, and to be a great man.
"Virtuous nephew, I will give you this picture, and I hope you ...... Certain...... Holy today. Before Jin Fang finished speaking, the hand he held Yu Zhong had already hung down. Everyone watched the departure of the old hero together, and they couldn't hold back the resentment in their hearts.
"Boss Yu, what should we do now? Or let's just kill the Taiwei Mansion and drag that old Cao turtle out of Ling Chi. Baili said indignantly.
"Don't you add a little more mess, is it time to be rash?" Gui Ming said.
"Let's find a safe place to bury the body of the old hero, we may need the help of the brothers of the horse gang, I will go and inform them. "Xie Huchen felt his weakness and powerlessness for the first time in the face of death since he left Jiangzhou City.
"Okay, you can arrange this matter, and we will give Lord Jin a ride. Yu Zhong clenched his fists, he knew that this was not the time for revenge, since Jin Fang entrusted him with his life, he must fulfill his last wish, return the treasure map to Zhao, and transfer it to the current saint. At this moment, he finally had a goal.
Thanks to the cover of Ma Zhengchuan and Ma Gang's brothers, Yu Zhong and the others were able to take Jin Fang's coffin, sneak out of the city gate, and bury Jin Fang in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. Yu Zhong stood in front of Jin Fang's tombstone, his heart extremely heavy. It was as if the heavens were also moved, and a misty drizzle fell.
"Don't be too sad, Lord Jin finally entrusted him before he died, and now what we have to think about is how to fulfill Lord Jin's last wish. Xie Huchen said.
Yu Zhong secretly made up his mind not only to hand over the treasure map to the current saint, but also to expose Cao Xiangui's crimes to the saint. Let him get the punishment he deserves.
"But what do we do, do we rush directly into the palace, throw the treasure map in front of the emperor Lao'er, and then sue Cao Lao Turtle!" Gui Ming said.
At this time, Zheng Xiong, who was inquiring about the news in the city, came, and he brought bad news, Jin Luoyi was arrested by Cao Taiwei, accused of colluding with assassins, breaking into the Forbidden Palace and Taiwei's Mansion at night, and a notice had been posted at the city gate. This is obviously blackmailing Yu Zhong and the others to bring the treasure map to replace them.
"I didn't expect this Jin Shiyi to even betray his own daughter, it's really heartbreaking!" Xie Huchen said with a frown.
I saw Yu Zhong pick up Yan Jun and was about to go to the city.
"Boss, what are you going to do!" Gui Ming and Bai Li Yu stopped in front of Yu Chong.
"Get out of the way!" Yu Zhong said through gritted teeth.
"Brother Yu, when you enter the city at this time, aren't you throwing yourself into a net. Xie Huchen said.
"Don't come with you. Yu Zhong didn't pay attention to everyone, pushed away Guiming and Baili Shu, and walked towards the city alone. Suddenly, his eyes were dark, and he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he fell down, and Guiming and Baili Shu behind him hurriedly helped him.
It turned out that Ma Zhengchuan couldn't stop Yu Chong, so he had to use brute force to knock Yu Chong unconscious.
"What now?" the rest of the crowd looked at Xie Huchen.
"This is not the place to speak, you might as well go to the contact point of my horse gang outside the city first, and then we will think about it in the long run. Ma Zhengchuan said.
"Then I'm going to bother the Ma gang leader. Xie Huchen saluted, and everyone followed Ma Zhengchuan to the contact point to discuss again.
Xie Huchen shook the folding fan, pacing back and forth in the room and thinking, he knew that he must not panic at this moment, if everyone lost their minds, then things might develop to the point of no return.
The weight on the bed gradually woke up.
"You're awake, Brother Yu, don't get excited, listen to me. Xie Huchen paused, seeing that Yu Zhong did not react excessively, and then said: "Although Miss Jin is in the hands of Taiwei Cao now, she is only a hostage after all, and the ultimate goal is to exchange for a treasure map, so she should not be in danger, and even said that it may be just a disguise, we must be calm at the moment." ”
After listening to Xie Huchen's words, Yu Zhong suddenly realized that Fang Cai was not only grieving, but also carried away by anger, and he didn't control his emotions for a while, but fortunately he was forcibly stopped by everyone, otherwise he would have fallen into the hands of the enemy and failed Jin Fang's dying entrustment.
Xie Huchen continued: "No matter how vicious this Jin Shiyi is, the tiger poison still doesn't eat children, as long as we don't stimulate them, Jin Girl should be safe." This thief captures the king first, shoots people first shoots horses, as long as Cao Xiangui is brought down, all problems will be solved. ”
Yu Zhong said: "This Cao dignitary is the imperial lieutenant, one person is above 10,000 people, even if we have the treasure map in our hands, but people are soft-spoken, I'm afraid even the emperor can't see it." ”
Xie Huchen shook the folding fan and said, "There is a person in the Southern Han Dynasty who has the same status as Cao Xiangui, and he will definitely help us." ”
"Who?" asked Yu Zhong.
"Be the imperial master, Chen Jing. Xie Huchen slapped the folding fan.
Taishifu.
"It seems that there has been some unfairness in Zhongjing Mansion recently. An old man with white hair was sitting upright in the main hall.
"Back to Taishi, it seems that there was some accident in the Taiwei Mansion, and this Taiwei Cao found an excuse to take people all over the city. A middle-aged man in an official uniform sitting next to him replied.
"Hmph, our Captain is still so reckless. Do you know what it's for? The old man took a sip of tea and said.
This middle-aged man in official uniform is Yin Hua Ren'an of Zhongjing Mansion, and the old man in the hall is Chen Jing, the imperial master of the dynasty.
"Xia Guan has heard that it is said that some people from the rivers and lakes broke into Taiwei's mansion at night and robbed a prisoner who was privately detained by Taiwei Cao. Hua Ren'an replied.
"Oh? This is unusual, there are people who can rob people from the heavily guarded Taiwei Mansion, you must know that the five hundred red-armored elite guards in the Taiwei Mansion are all elite of the forbidden army. Chen Jing said slowly.
"Xia Guan also heard some rumors, it is about the treasure map......"
When Chen Jing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was obviously very interested in this topic.
"It is said that Lord Taiwei has been searching for the treasure map of the previous dynasty all along, and this person who was robbed may have something to do with it. Hua Ren'an continued.
"It's really ridiculous that the Imperial Lieutenant and this Jianghu person are competing for some treasure map. Huada people still don't talk about hearsay, after all, we are all ministers of the Son of Heaven, and we still have to talk about evidence. Chen Jing said with something in his words.
"Xia Guan understands. Hua Ren'an looked at Chen Jing and retreated in understanding.
Taiwei Mansion.
Cao Xiangui was discussing with Jin Shiyi and Yang Lin in the hall.
"Lord Jin, if you can't find this Jin Fang and the treasure map this time, you should know what the consequences will be. Cao Xiangui glanced at Jin Shiyi and said very unhappily.
Jin Shiyi was standing aside with his head bowed, and said tremblingly: "Lord Taiwei Mingjian, the lower officials will recover the treasure map ......at any cost" From the beginning, he always thought that his plan was seamless, but who knew that the variable of Yu Zhong led to the loss of everything, and now his and his daughter's lives are in danger, so he can only make a desperate bet, take his beloved daughter as a hostage, attract Yu Zhong to come to save people, and then take it in one fell swoop.
After 30 years of devastation, he was a lonely hero on his deathbed.
