"Jin Yiwei, very good, you will tell the truth what I ask next, otherwise it will ......" Xi Zhen played with the dagger and said with a smile on his face: "Of course, I won't kill anyone, but I don't know if you know what the name of this person next to me is in the rivers and lakes, her name is Zhu Yeqing." ”

"Zhu Yeqing?" The boat family shuddered for a while, of course he knew Zhu Yeqing, and he also knew that Zhu Yeqing almost turned the world upside down in the rivers and lakes in order to find Xi Zhen's private Wudang. He also knew that Zhu Yeqing was ruthless and never showed mercy, as soon as Zhu Yeqing made a move, he might really want to live and not die.

The boatman secretly glanced at Pei Feng with his eyes, Pei Feng smiled and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm not as terrible as the legends in the rivers and lakes, as long as you answer seriously, I will definitely let you live." ”

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of the little ghost crying, you are afraid of Hades laughing. Pei Feng's smile, in Xi Zhen's opinion, smiled as beautiful as a flower and poured it for life, but in the eyes of the boatman, it was like a bone-eroding knife cutting at the body one by one.

"What's your name, and what does three-three-six represent?" Xi Zhen's question was like King Yama's shocking wood, and every word and sentence hit the boatman's heart like King Yama patting the shocking tree.

"It's okay, you can say whatever you know, if you really don't know, forget it, I won't embarrass you. Pei Feng leaned down and comforted the boatman with a smile.

"I, the villain doesn't have a name, the villain only has a number," the boatman hurriedly replied tremblingly, because he understood that the more amiable Zhu Yeqing was, the more serious the consequences.

"Who sent you? Are you in the same group as those people during the day?What is your mission?" Seeing the boatman speak, Xi Zhen hurriedly asked.

"The villain is just obeying the orders of the superiors, as for who assigns, the villain's level is too low, and I don't know. The villain was instructed to find a book, which is said to be the book of Liu Bowen, the former national teacher. The boatman hurriedly blurted out an answer.

"Then on what basis do you conclude that the book is on me?"

"This, this villain doesn't know, the villain only knows that they arrested a person named Liu Diao, who is said to be the grandson of the former national teacher Liu Bowen, and then tortured him before asking. ”

"Where is Liu Diao?" Xi Zhen was shocked in his heart, a thought flashed through his mind, he shuddered, and there were some things he didn't dare to think about.

"This, the villain doesn't know, but according to another fellow villager of the villain, there is a special prisoner in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion in Hongdu City, and it must be him. The boatman shook everything he knew.

Xi Zhen smiled with satisfaction: "Don't worry, we will not kill you." But I want to ask you to be wronged, please forgive me for being disrespectful. After saying that, he turned his palm into a knife and struck hard at the back of the boatman's neck, and the boatman snorted and fell asleep.

"Brother Zhen, what should we do now?" Pei Feng ran out of ideas and hurriedly asked Xi Zhen, because Xi Zhen has always been her strongest support.

Xi Zhen frowned, and said after a little thought: "I am not sure about some things, so I can only go and investigate." With my current skills, it will only take more than an hour to return to Hongdu City, and it will be dark at that time, and it is the time to investigate. Only by inquiring about the ins and outs of the matter can we know what to do next. ”

"Alright, then without further ado, let's go now. Pei Feng tightened his clothes and was about to go out.

"Wait, this time I went to investigate, the other party didn't know the truth, and the danger was unknown, so it was inconvenient for there to be many people at this time. This time, I can go alone, you go to Yuanzhou quickly, and join the senior brother, and I will meet you in a few days. Looking at Pei Feng's anxious eyes, he said softly: "Feng, don't worry about me, there are not many people on the rivers and lakes who can hurt me now, not even Lu Shuwen." ”

Pei Feng had no reason to convince Xi Zhen, so even if he was reluctant, he could only obey. Xi Zhen was getting ready to pack, and when he was about to leave the cabin, a thought suddenly flashed through him. After a while, he smiled to himself, turned back and whispered a few words in Pei Feng's ear and left.

Out of the cabin, Xi Zhen rushed forward, Wudang's light skills themselves are second to none in the rivers and lakes, and Xi Zhen's internal strength is not what it used to be, and the speed is a lot happier. Listening to the whirring wind in his ears, Xi Zhen was in a good mood, one was because his skills had been in actual combat, and the other was because he had seen through their tricks.

In the middle of the day, there were no pedestrians on the streets of Hongdu City, and occasionally the husband walked by, and the sound of banging was particularly loud at night.

The Governor's Mansion is easy to identify, and when you stand on a high place, the place where the lights are bright is the Governor's Mansion. Standing on the wall of the Governor's Mansion, Xi Zhen was full of emotion: the night was like water, but under this watery night, there was a turbulent dark tide. Although the Governor's Mansion is also quiet, what is the center of tranquility? Xi Zhen was a little impatient, he wanted to know the answer.

Patrolling around the governor's mansion, I saw four soldiers outside the firewood room in the backyard firmly guarding the locked firewood door. Xi Zhen secretly thought, it should be here, picked up a tile on the roof, Xi Zhen used enough internal force to throw it towards the back of the firewood house, and the sound of the tile landing quickly alerted the soldiers.

This is called throwing stones to ask for directions, and the usual method used by people on the rivers and lakes is aimed at attracting attention so that the other party cannot touch the reality. Sure enough, two soldiers carried knives and went to the back of the house. Xi Zhen followed these two people and quickly attacked at the corner of the house, pointing at the acupoints of the two of them. Then he made a detour and quickly clicked on the acupoints of the other two people.

After finishing the soldiers, Xi Zhen poked through the window and saw a man lying in the firewood room: this man had been tortured and skinny, ragged, and saw all kinds of whip marks and bruises everywhere. Xi Zhen's eyes were warm, and he secretly scolded in his heart: "Shameless man, he actually used such a means to a scholar. ”

Breaking through the window, the man woke up instantly, and looked at Xi Zhen with a frightened face at first. When Xi Zhen took off his mask, the man cried with joy, who is this not Liu Diao? Liu Diao stood tremblingly, although he was very unstable, but he was still very strong.

Liu Liao burst into tears with excitement, unable to speak when he opened his mouth several times, and a trace of blood oozed from his dry and chapped lips. Xi Zhen hurriedly supported Liu Diao, and opened the water bag he carried with him to feed Liu Diao water.

Liu Liao gulped down the water greedily, as if he had suddenly found an oasis in the desert. Xi Zhen choked up and said, "Brother Liu, I'm sorry, the little brother is late, and Brother Liu suffers." ”

Liu Diao drank water, his face was more ruddy, and he was more energetic. He raised his hand with difficulty, slowly arranged his hair, sat on a broken low stool, and said in a hoarse voice: "The young man is here, Liu is pleased, but Liu has nothing to entertain here, the prisoner under the stairs, snubbing the young man." ”

Xi Zhen hurriedly gave a salute, because Xi Zhen knew that the most important thing for a scholar is etiquette. Xi Zhen said: "Brother Liu, don't panic, don't be afraid, the little brother is here, the little brother will take Brother Liu out of here now." ”

Liu Qian smiled, but the smile immediately touched the wound on his face, and he couldn't help baring his teeth in pain: "Shaoxia, you are confused, you shouldn't come here, this is clearly a trap." It is not a pity for Liu to die, if Shaoxia is implicated again, how can Liu die and be safe?"

Xi Zhen hurriedly relieved: "Why do you want to die? Don't worry, not only will we not die today, we will leave here alive and alive." Brother Liu wants to persuade him again, but his brother's mind has been made and cannot be changed. ”

Liu Qian knew that he couldn't convince Xi Zhen, so he had to smile and say: "Even so, with a confidant, Liu died without regrets." Today I will rejoice with Shaoxia here, but it's a pity that the humble house is shabby and there is no good wine, which disappoints Shaoxia. ”

Xi Zhen smiled, took out a wine gourd from behind him and said, "How can you get along without wine, brother, carry good wine, drink with brother." ”

The two of you take a sip and I take a sip, just drink like this, although Liu Diao is a scholar, but he is full of pride, and between his words, he doesn't behave like a rotten Confucian at all.

Xi Zhen took a sip of wine, handed the wine gourd to Liu Diao, and said, "Why is my brother imprisoned?

Liu Qian sighed and said: "Thousands of calculations, I didn't count that this group of people had been following me, as soon as I left the capital, they had already mastered my whereabouts." On that day, you Hidden Fog Mountain Villa was already monitored, but you and I were excited for a while, and we didn't find out. ”

Xi Zhen nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see, that's the little brother's negligence." ”

Liu Diao was about to apologize with an apologetic face, but Xi Zhen hurriedly stopped Liu Diao, raised his voice and said, "That's okay, I came here today to have two things to do." One is to take Brother Liu away from here, and the other is one thing I want to tell Brother Liu, that is, there really exists the book "Hundred Battles and Conspiracy" in this world. ”

Liu Qian asked in surprise, "Is there really a book?"

Xi Zhen said loudly: "Naturally, there are, "Hundred Battles and Conspiracy" has a total of ten volumes, each volume has ten strategies. There are foot battles, cavalry battles, boat battles, many battles, and outnumbered battles. There are strategic battles, strategic battles, reward battles, penalty battles, main battles, and away battles. There are offensive battles, defensive battles, whole battles, chaotic battles, and quick battles. And so on and so forth, there are a hundred battles. Every battle has a trick, and the younger brother read it during the day, thinking that Sun Tzu and Zhuge can be juxtaposed. ”

Liu Di became more and more excited, which was very consistent with the legend. Xi Zhen smiled at the corner of his mouth and said loudly: "However, Ling Zu also told a story when he wrote this book of war, saying that two gentlemen were discussing the strategy of playing chess, and there was actually a big yellow dog eavesdropping on the beam. Decades after that, the big yellow dog became a fine man, and he was actually quite ambitious and wanted to use the art of war to defeat humans. The result was naturally losing, Ling Zu once sighed: A dog is a dog, even if it learns to walk on two legs, it is just a dog that can eavesdrop. I don't know if I'm right? Friends on the roof?"
