However, it was said that Wu Yun and the other three robbed Shen Lingshan and forcibly abducted Shen Lingshan to Huangzhou Mansion, thinking that they could use this to force Chen Wenqi to submit, and then "exchange" Chen Wenqi back to Wulihan, so that they could return to the desert. Who knew that Yang Xianyu was killed halfway, and he snatched Shen Lingshan from him. In addition to being angry, Wu Yun wanted to go to Chenjiazhuang to forcibly kidnap Chen Wenqi with the strength of three people, but Shan Xue shook his head again and again when he heard it, saying that there were many people in Chenjiazhuang, and it was not far from Huangzhou Mansion. Wu Yun thought about it again and again, and finally gave up this idea, and decided to go to Nanjing to meet his senior brother Liang Fang for a while, and then make plans to see the situation.

The three of them stayed in Huangzhou City for one night, and the next day they secretly sneaked into Chenjiazhuang to investigate, and heard that Chen Wenqi was not at home, so they went to the riverside wharf to hire a canopy boat, and they arrived in Nanzhili in less than a day. After inquiring about it, it was learned that after Liang Fang was demoted to Nanzhili and lived idle for a period of time, the ministers of the central government hated Liang Fang for messing up the government and communicating with foreign countries, not only saved the life of a dog, but also sat down in Jiangnan to eat and enjoy happiness, so they jointly signed a book to the emperor and detained him in prison. Wu Yun and the others originally didn't have much hope, but when they saw him end up like this, they were secretly happy: since his family property has been confiscated and he has been imprisoned, we can't ask for the gold and cut off his head, so this errand will be handed over. It's just how to get Ulihan out of the prison? It's harder than going to the sky. The three of them lived in an inn in Nanjing City, thinking day and night, but they never got the answer. On this day, Shan Xue said to Wu Yun:

"Second brother, the younger brother thinks that if you want to rescue Wu Lihan, you have to start with Chen Wenqi. ”

"Didn't you say that there are many people in Chenjiazhuang, and it's hard to start?" Wu Yun asked rhetorically.

"It's definitely not okay to do it in his house. The younger brother thought that his vacation was almost over, this kid was good at kung fu, and liked to be alone, we could wait for him on the official road leading to the capital, or sneak attack in the middle of the road, or do it in the inn, forgive him for being unguarded. ”

Wu Yun was silent after hearing this, lowering his head and pondering to himself.

"Oh, second brother, what else do you want? I think the sixth brother has a good idea, let's catch Chen Wenqi off guard on the way back to Beijing. Han Bing urged.

Wu Yun raised his eyes and looked at the two of them and said, "The idea is good." I don't know when Chen Wenqi's vacation will end, if he has returned to the capital, won't we wait in vain halfway?"

"This is easy to do, let's go to Huangzhou Mansion to find out his whereabouts first, if he has not yet completed his vacation, we will wait for him halfway, if he has returned to the capital, let's go to the capital to sneak attack, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" Han Bing scratched his head and said.

Wu Yun stared at Han Bing and didn't make a sound for a long time.

Han Bing thought that he had said the wrong thing again, and hurriedly said: "Second brother, did I say something wrong? Okay, okay, okay, just when I didn't say it, what do you say?" Listen to you. ”

Wu Yun stood up, grabbed the stainless steel folding fan on the table, knocked lightly on Han Bing's head, and grinned:

"You're okay with your head. Let's go back to Huangzhou Mansion. ”

When Han Bing heard this, he couldn't help but say happily: "Where, where, it's all the second brother's enlightenment." ”

Saying that, the three of them settled the room fee, still went to the dock to hire a canopy boat, traced the river, and arrived at the Huangzhou wharf in a short time.

At this time, the Yangtze River has reached the dry season, the water level has almost dropped to the bottom of the river, and the original wharf has been suspended above the head more than ten zhang away. The trio left the boat and walked along the dry riverbed to the embankment.

As he was walking, he suddenly saw two strong men with tolerance appearances, pushing and shoving a prisoner in shackles and chains walking from the opposite side. The prisoner staggered on foot, and said to the duke who was holding himself on either side:

"Two military masters, do you know who I am?"

"Who are you? Aren't you a gangster in the rugged mountains at the foot of Osaki Mountain? What is not fun to be idle all day long? But you want to slander others and rob **, this is good, the woman is not next to each other, but exiled herself to Mengwan. A duke on the left scoffed.

"Brother Ren, don't underestimate this little gangster, do you know how hard his backer is?" said a duke on the right.

"Cut, isn't it the current national abbot? So what? Didn't Master Tao still sentence him to two months in the flail, three thousand miles away, and three years of additional service? His uncle and uncle were thousands of miles away, and it would be beyond the reach of the whip to save him. The man on the left pursed his mouth and said sarcastically.

"I see, let's be careful. Maybe the father-in-law of that country will know one day and ask the emperor for a holy decree to pardon his crimes, even if we don't get dirty, we can't make him resentful of us. The duke on the right said.

As he spoke, he had already walked in front of Wu Yun and the others, and was about to pass by, when suddenly Shan Xue opened her mouth and said "Huh".

"Sixth brother, what's wrong?" asked Han Bing.

Shan Xue stopped, turned around to look at the backs of several people, and replied, "I know this prisoner." ”

"Do you know that prisoner?" Han Bing asked curiously, "Are you mistaken?"

Shan Xue shook her head and said, "That's right. This person's name is Situ Jiao, and he is Chen Wenqi's sworn enemy. That year, I also made a big fuss with him about Chen Wenqi's Xie Yuan banquet, if it wasn't for Liu Mufeng's old man appearing, Chen Wenqi would have been injured in my hands. ”

Wu Yun, who had been silent for a long time, interjected and asked, "Sixth, you said that this prisoner is Chen Wenqi's rival?"

"yes, he said it himself. ”

"Is his uncle really the current ruler?"

"This ...... The younger brother didn't know, he didn't say it. ”

Wu Yun pondered for a while, and said to Shan Xue and Han Bing: "Go, follow." ”

"Why is the second brother interested in a prisoner?" asked Shan Xue puzzled.

Wu Yun waved his hand, without explanation, and followed the two dukes and Situ Jiao from a distance. Down to the riverside, there are already official boats waiting here, two dukes escorted Situ Jiao into the cabin, and then untied the cable, one in front and one after the other two boatmen with a pole to prop the official boat away from the riverbank, in the slanting sun, the two of them each swing their oars, upstream.

"Second brother, do we still want to follow?" Seeing that the official ship gradually sailed into the center of the river, Han Bing asked anxiously.

"Ah Bing, go, hire a boat. Wu Yun said slowly.

After a while, Han Bing hired a small boat and said to Wu Yun: "Second brother, there is only this small boat on the riverside. ”

"Okay, let's go up. As soon as the words fell, Wu Yun had already jumped on the bow of the boat.

"A few guest officers, where are you going?" The boatman was a fifty-year-old man with a frightened look, and it seemed that most of them were hired by Han Binglian with intimidation.

Wu Yun pointed to the official ship with a folding fan and said, "Follow that official ship." ”

"Follow...... Where are you going with the boat?' said the boatman in fear.

"Let you follow you, what are you talking about?" Han Bing shouted viciously.

"Guest officer, little ...... The small ship is small, and it is ...... When it comes to the upper reaches of the river, the waves are narrow and rapid, and it is easy to capsize. The boatman said with tears in his voice.

Wu Yun didn't want to make any trouble, so he stretched out his hand to stop Han Bing, who was about to have a seizure, and said to the boatman in a soothing tone: "Boatman, according to the speed of the official ship, when will you go to Wuchang City?"

The boatman looked at the official ship for a while, and replied, "It's almost a watch." ”

"Okay, you just need to follow Wuchang City. ”

Seeing that he spoke kinder than Han Bing, and only had to be sent to Wuchang City, the boatman felt a little relieved, "However, the small one rows a boat, and he can't keep up with the official boat." ”

Wu Yun waved his hand and said impatiently: "Don't 'but' or 'but', you can do your best." ”

When the boatman saw that he was anxious, how could he dare to say more? Gradually, the shadow of the official ship in front of him became smaller and smaller, and Wu Yun saw that the boatman was sweating profusely and had done his best, so he said to Han Bing: "Ah Bing, you help him." ”

Han Bing looked back and forth, and saw that there was a scoop in the small cabin in front of him, so he picked it up and plunged it into the river water, and the boat suddenly jumped forward, and then it began to spin. The experienced boatman hurriedly used the oars as rudders to reorient himself. Han Bing smashed the boat like an arrow from the string and galloped forward. Before long, the shadow of the boat in front of me became larger and larger, and the sound of the oars paddling gradually became clear.

"Seventh, take it easy, don't get too close. Wu Yun instructed Han Bing.

As expected, when the boatmen were about to touch, the two boats arrived near Wuchang City. I saw the official ship in front of me slowly approaching the shore, and it seemed that it was preparing to rest in Wuchang City for a night before leaving.

Wu Yun and the others sent the boat family away, and quietly followed the two dukes to an inn not far from the shore. After they had settled in, they asked the shopkeeper for the room opposite the door, and after washing up after dinner, they meditated cross-legged on the bed.

"Second brother, what are you going to do? Let's not go to find Chen Wenqi?" Han Bing held back for a long time, and then asked Wu Yun cautiously.

Wu Yun opened his eyes and did not answer Han Bing's question, but said to Shan Xue: "Sixth, you go to the opposite room later and bring that kid here." Be careful, don't disturb those two tolerances. ”

"Yes, second brother. ”

Han Bing saw that Wu Yun ignored him, so he scratched his head in embarrassment and meditated with interest.

After a while, there was a faint sound of drums in the distance, and it was the third watch. Shan Xue stood up, opened the door quietly, walked to the door of the opposite room, used a dagger to open the latch, and entered the room. The room was pitch black, except for the thunderous snoring and the creaking of the bed tossing and turning. Shan Xue heard the sound and knew that it must be the two men who were snoring, so she stretched out her finger and pointed to the sleeping hole of the two. He touched the squeaky bed again, and his tentacles were cold. Shan Xue was secretly happy, and caught Situ Jiao's feet along the cold shackles. Situ Jiao couldn't sleep steadily, and he felt that his feet were grabbed in a haze, and he was about to scream, when he suddenly felt numb in his acupoint, and he suddenly didn't know what to do.

Shan Xue carried Situ Jiao to her room and unlocked the sealed acupoint. At this time, Wu Yun had already lit the lamps and candles, and when Situ Jiao saw that the two did not know each other, he asked in horror: "Who are you and what are you going to do?"

Shan Xue walked up from behind him and asked, "You don't know the old man?"

Situ Jiao looked at it, and immediately turned his surprise into joy, and said: "Senior, it turned out to be you......?

"Oh, this is the old man's second senior brother, and he is the old man's seventh senior brother. Situ Jiao, why did you fall into such a situation?"

"Senior, it's ......a long story," Situ Jiao briefly told Shan Xue and others what happened.

Wu Yun said coldly after hearing this: "This is going to Mengwan, the road is far away, look at you in shackles and locks, I'm afraid that before you get to that place, your life will be over." ”

Situ Jiao didn't know, but there was nothing he could do, so when he heard it, he mourned again and again: "Seniors save me, seniors save me." ”

Wu Yun said deliberately: "Situ Jiao, the whole world is not the king's land, you have committed such a serious crime, how can you teach the old man and brother how to save you?"

"My uncle is the current national ruler, as long as my predecessors come to the rescue, no one will dare to touch me when I get to my uncle's house. ”

Wu Yun said coldly: "But the question is, you have no relationship with the old man, how can the old man save you?"

Situ Jiao thought that he was greedy for money, and his life was important in front of him, so he said without hesitation: "Senior, if you save my life, I will reward him heavily." ”

Who would have thought that Wu Yun shook his head and said disdainfully: "Heavy money? ”

Situ Jiao was disappointed to see that he was not moved by gold and silver. But he didn't give up and said: "As long as my predecessors save me, I will be a cow and a horse, and I will be willing to serve my predecessors." ”

Wu Yun smiled and said, "I don't want you to be a cow or a horse to repay you, just help the old man rescue one person." ”

When Situ Jiao heard this, he secretly complained, his life was at stake, who could he save?

"Senior, you see that I am like this, where can I save others?" Situ Jiao said with a bitter face.

"Of course you can't save anyone, but isn't your uncle the current ruler?

Only then did Situ Jiao understand his intentions, so he asked, "Who do you want to save?

"Ulihan, the current person is in the prison of the capital. ”

"Ulihan?" Situ Jiao had never heard the name.

"Yes, this man is a Golden Horde warrior of Mongolia, and he has been in prison since he was captured last year. ”

When Situ Jiao heard this, he complained bitterly, as he was a prisoner of the war between the two countries, and he was also imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, he must be a repeat offender in the imperial court. Although my uncle is the lord of the country, there is no reason to persuade the emperor to release this person. He weighed it for a long time, and finally snorted and said, "Senior, this ...... I'm afraid it's tricky. ”

"What's tricky?" Han Bing rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't your uncle the emperor's father-in-law?

Situ Jiao said timidly: "Having said that, this black ...... ......"

"Ullihan. ”

"Yes, Wu Lihan, he is a prisoner of war of the enemy country, even if the emperor wants to release him, he must explain the reason to the Manchu civil and military forces. If the ministers are all against it, it will be difficult for the emperor to do it. ”

Han Bing didn't know what was going on, Wu Yun still knew a little bit about it, and when he saw Situ Jiao say this, he realized that he was thinking about things too simply, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, Shan Xue said: "Situ Jiao, if you can't rescue Wu Lihan, it's okay to help us catch Chen Wenqi." In your opinion, if your uncle invites Chen Wenqi to a banquet, will he go?"

Hearing that Chen Wenqi was going to be arrested, Situ Jiao secretly said, what kind of help is this? It is obvious that they are helping themselves. He tried his best to suppress the snickering joy in his heart, and said casually: "Well, this - the people in the officialdom are very hypocritical, even if the hatred behind their backs is as deep as the sea, they still maintain a harmonious atmosphere on the surface. I think that as long as my uncle comes forward to invite him, Chen Wenqi will not go. ”

Shan Xue looked at Wu Yun and saw that he didn't react, so she said to Situ Jiao: "Okay, after we arrive in the capital, we will find a place first, and then you ask your uncle to secretly ask Chen Wenqi to go there, and you won't have to worry about the rest of the things, how about it?"

"No problem, it's all on me. Situ Jiao took it all and agreed.

Han Bing glared and said viciously, "If you kid want to deceive us, think about how many lives you have first. ”

"How dare you deceive your seniors? Besides, what this single senior knows, I am on the same page as Chen Wenqi, and I wish I could kill him now, and the seniors want to arrest him, which is equivalent to doing me a great favor. Situ Jiao hurriedly told the truth.

"That's right, Lao Qi's concern is really redundant. Second brother ——?" Shan Xue looked at the second senior brother Wu Yun, who had not spoken for a long time.

Wu Yun nodded and said, "Okay, as soon as the morning dawns, we will leave for the capital." ”

Situ Jiao was relieved when he saw Wu Yun nodding in agreement. But as soon as he got out of trouble, he had a non-dividing thought, "The little one still has one thing to ask for, please do it with the seniors." ”

When Han Bing heard the fire, he shouted in a deep voice: "You kid still has to inch in, your life has been saved for you, what do you want?"

Situ Jiao was drunk by him, lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound.

Shan Xue asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Zhong Lilan fell into the hands of Fang Yanjie, and the little one was really unwilling. If a few seniors can go back to that slut, the little one will never forget the kindness of the predecessors. After Situ Jiao finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Wu Yun, he knew that among the three, Wu Yun was the one in charge.

"It's beautiful...... I think" Han Bing was about to attack again when he heard it.

"Ah Bing," Shan Xue stopped Han Bing and whispered in Wu Yun's ear: "Second brother, in my opinion, I will give him a favor and snatch the woman back for him." When I found out in Chenjiazhuang, Chen Wenqi cared about the woman very much. If after arriving in the capital, Situ Jiao's uncle and uncle asked Chen Wenqi not to move, so he used the woman as bait to 'fish' Chen Wenqi out. ”

Wu Yun thought for a while and felt that this plan was feasible, so he nodded, "Okay, the old man will send a kindness to help you recapture the little beauty." ”

Situ Jiao was overjoyed when he heard this, fell to the ground and kowtowed a few times, and said gratefully: "Thank you seniors." ”

"Alright, get up. Sixth, send him back to the room. ”

"Senior, didn't you say okay? Why ...... again" Situ Jiao's mood that had just relaxed became nervous again.

"You don't have to be afraid, the old man has his own arrangements. Wu Yun waved his hand impatiently.

After sending Situ Jiao away, Wu Yun whispered to Han Bing: "Ah Bing, you go to the official boat by the river...... And so it goes. Remember, don't alarm the boatman. ”

"Second brother, why is it so complicated, it's better to ...... it now" Han Bing made a knife with his hand and gestured at his neck.

"What do you know, go!" Wu Yun scolded.

Han Bing didn't dare to say anything more, got up and opened the door and left.

As soon as dawn broke the next day, the two dukes got up and washed up, ate breakfast indiscriminately, and then escorted Situ Jiao to board the official ship and continue to sail against the current.

Not long after the trip, the official ship had passed through Wuchang City, and the people on both sides of the strait gradually became scarce. At this time, I suddenly heard the boatman shout in horror: "No, the cabin is flooded." ”

There was a commotion on the official boat, and before the people could react, the hull of the boat tilted and slowly sank, and the boatman quickly took off the oars, lifted the plank, threw it into the river, and shouted: "Quick, jump down, hold on to the plank." After saying that, the two boatmen took the lead in abandoning the ship and jumping into the river. The two dukes were so important to save their lives, where could they still take care of their boss Tu Jiao? They jumped into the river one after the other, grabbed the oars and struggled to the shore.

A small boat came quickly, rescued Situ Jiao on the official boat that was about to sink, and then followed the cry for help in the river, after pulling the planks and oars in the hands of the boatman and the public, he turned the boat and went down the water like an arrow.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Wu Yun and others found an inn outside the city of Huangzhou, and the general rested for the night, and the next day before dawn, he let Situ Jiao lead the way and look at Daqi Mountain.

When I arrived at Fangjiazhai, it was lunchtime. The four of them took the opportunity to sneak into the village, went around to the back of the Fang family's mansion, and unexpectedly found that Chen Wenqi was also there. Han Bing was overjoyed, so he wanted to jump into the hospital and take him down.

Wu Yun hurriedly pulled Han Bing and scolded in a low voice: "Extremely stupid. These mountain people are very tough, if they are entangled, two fists are invincible to four hands, won't they scare Chen Wenqi away?"

"Then what do you say?" Han Bing asked with a glare.

Wu Yun looked around, had a plan, and said: "While they were eating, the sixth child took Situ Jiao to the back to snatch Zhong Lilan out, and then ran down this mountain beam, and saw that there were two sections of pine branches that were placed in a cross and stopped, and Ah Bing and I were ambushed near there. Remember, make sure to make some noise to lure Chen Wenqi over. ”

After speaking, he turned around and left with Han Bing. Shan Xue took Situ Jiao and quietly came to the back of the courtyard, where Zhong Lilan was flying needles and threads in the room, embroidering a belly pocket with a big red satin.

Facing the beautiful scenery, Situ Jiao's heart is full of love and hate, and mixed tastes. He smashed the pane with his palm and jumped into the room with a "whoosh". Zhong Lilan was shocked, and when he saw that it was Situ Jiao, he immediately involuntarily stood up and took a few steps back, and said in horror: "Situ Jiao, what are you going to do?"

Situ Jiao took two steps forward and said lightly: "Don't you know what I'm going to do? I'll take you back to the church to get married." Come, let Young Master Ben kiss him first. As he spoke, he approached Zhong Lilan and pursed his lips to Zhong Lilan's cheeks.

With a "snap", Zhong Lilan instinctively gave Situ Jiao a slap.

"Little slut, how dare you beat me?" Situ Jiao was annoyed and ashamed, grabbed Zhong Lilan and threw him out of the window, and Shan Xue supported Zhong Lilan with one hand.

"Yanlang save me!" Zhong Lilan was frightened and inexplicable, and hurriedly shouted for help.

Situ Jiao jumped out of the window, left and right with Shan Xue, picked up Zhong Lilan and ran.

Seeing that Chen Wenqi was chasing closer and closer, Shan Xue stopped Zhong Lilan and said to Situ Jiao: "Let go, speed up." ”

After running for a short time, I saw two sections of crisscrossed pine branches in front of me, and it was known that Wu Yun and they were nearby. Shan Xue handed Zhong Lilan to Situ Jiao, stopped and said to Chen Wenqi, who had chased after him: "Chen Wenqi, you came just in time, the old man has been looking for you for many days." ”

"Is it you?" After Chen Wenqi learned about his life experience, this was the first time he saw the "Eight Murderers of Lingnan", and the Shan Xue in front of him was one of the murderers of his grandfather and grandmother. The enemies were very red when they saw each other, Chen Wenqi suppressed his anger, and said sharply: "Shan Xue, even if you don't look for me, I will look for you." We'll settle our accounts later. After that, he turned his head and shouted to Situ Jiao: "Situ Jiao, hurry up and release Miss Zhongli, go down the mountain and surrender to the government, or you can reduce your crime." If you are obsessed and insist on going your own way, you will be punished more severely. ”

"The surname Chen, when you are dying, you still care about other people's affairs? It's better to kneel down and kowtow to the master and me a few times, and the master will say a few words to the seniors, so that you will be a whole corpse. Situ Jiao said fearlessly.

At this time, Fang Junjie's brothers had already arrived, and Fang Yanjie shouted as he ran: "Sister Lan, how are you?" Situ Jiao, let her go quickly, otherwise I will break your body into ten thousand pieces." As he spoke, he rushed to Situ Jiao's side, and reached out to snatch Zhong Lilan.

Situ Jiao took Zhong Lilan behind him with his left hand, and hit Fang Yanjie with a fist in his right hand, shouting: "Fang Yanjie, you are looking for death." ”

Fang Yanjie saw Situ Jiao's fist attack, and hurriedly lowered his elbow and stood his palm, cutting towards Situ Jiao's vein.

"Stop it all for the old man. A gloomy voice came from behind Chen Wenqi and the others.

Chen Wenqi was startled, turned around and saw that it was Wu Yun, who had fought with him many times - the culprit who killed his grandfather and grandmother. There is another old man Chen Wenqi who does not know and is about the same age as Wu Yun, and he is standing on the horns with Wu Yun.

The hatred of killing relatives, the hatred of the country, and the past of abusing and robbing the people's daughters in front of the house, Chen Wenqi was in his blood for a while, he changed his usual gentleness, pointed at Wu Yun and scolded: "Wu Yun old horseman, you have done a lot of evil, full of evil, today this son will use your head to pay tribute to the soul of my grandfather." ”

After saying that, luck is in the palm of your hand, and you are ready to go.

Wu Yun unfolded the fine steel fan, pretended to shake it leisurely, and said, "Chen Wenqi, you escaped by luck in Xifeng Ridge that day, allowing you to live a little longer. This is the place where you are buried, and you accept your fate. After that, he closed the stainless steel fan, and stabbed the acupoint in the corridor on Chen Wenqi's chest with a "cone piercing".

Chen Wenqi didn't dare to be careless, and "pedaled" and retreated a few steps, avoiding the blow of the steel fan carrying thunder and lightning. However, behind him retreated to the place where Situ Jiao stood.

Situ Jiao was holding Zhong Lilan in both hands, and was watching the movements of Fang Yanjie's brothers intently, in case they suddenly attacked and snatched Zhong Lilan back. At this time, seeing Chen Wenqi retreating to him in a hurry, the empty door behind him was wide open, and he was overjoyed, so he grabbed Zhong Lilan with one hand, and gave a fist with his right hand to "exhale", and slammed it towards the life-gate acupoint on Chen Wenqi's waist. This punch is so powerful that if it is pounded by him, the spine will be damaged, and the worst will be a paraplegic.

Fang Junjie's brothers were shocked at first sight, but the distance was far away, and it was too late to rescue them.
