Chapter 123: The liver and intestines are broken
Hui Feng walked around the bustling street market and walked into a ruined courtyard full of scorched earth, which Xu Zhi knew was Hui Feng's mansion. As for what happened in the mansion that day, a fire has become an eternal mystery in the hearts of the people of Bianzhou!
Xu Zhi and the others saw Huifeng on crutches and limped to the back garden, the lotus flowers in the lake were still fresh and fragrant, but most of the cruise ships in the center of the lake had been burned down, and half of them had been submerged in the lake.
Xu Zhi saw Hui Feng jump into the knee-deep lake, walked towards the broken boat, and also jumped into the lake, stopped Hui Feng, and persuaded loudly: "Brother Hui, that boat has been seriously damaged, and your body is not very convenient, how did you get on that boat?
With tears in his eyes, Hui Feng pushed Xu Zhi away. Xu Zhi saw that Huifeng was stubborn, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he simply shouted, "Senior brother must get on that boat, big brother will carry you up!", after speaking, he picked up Huifeng and jumped into the cabin with all his might.
Zhou Yuanzhi, He Mengjiao and others were worried about the safety of Xu and Hui, and they also followed on the boat.
Hui Feng pushed open the scorched hatch, carefully looking for the traces left by the banquet that day, and he saw that the tables and chairs in the cabin were also burned, and only some fragments of utensils fell to the ground, and there were more than a dozen burned corpses lying on the ground. Xu Zhi thought to himself: If it hadn't been for a thunderstorm a few days ago, I'm afraid this ship would have been burned down a long time ago, and where would it stay.
Huifeng saw that there was still a lute on the ground that had not been burned, so he fell to his knees, picked up the broken lute, and cried loudly. Xu Zhi and the others saw the musical instrument left by Cheng Yingying and understood the reason.
Zhou Yuanzhi, He Mengjiao and Cheng Yingying are like sisters, with tears in their eyes, carefully looking for Miss Cheng's body, but no matter how careful everyone is, they can't find it. It turned out that Zhu Wen was fierce, and he was afraid that Cheng Yingying would turn into a ghost and ask him for his life after his death, so he simply dismantled her body into eight pieces and threw them in different places in the lake.
Hui Feng saw that Cheng Yingying's corpse was gone, her liver and intestines were broken, her eyes were black, she couldn't choke in her mouth, and fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
Xu Zhi saw that Huifeng suddenly fainted, knowing the pain in his heart, he pressed hard the three acupuncture points of "Renzhong" on his face, "Zhongchong" at the end of his middle finger, and "Yongquan" under his feet. Only then did Hui Feng open his eyes and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm from his mouth before he cried.
Huifeng wept bitterly for a long time before he hugged the pipa and returned to the lakeshore. When the people saw him find a row of bamboo rafts, they also followed him on the bamboo rafts, along the lake, and into the Bianhe River. The Bianhe River is full of merchant ships and official ships shuttling back and forth.
Huifeng hugged the pipa in his arms, did not say a word, sat on the bow of the ship against the wind, and ushered in the curiosity of the singers in the official ships. Seeing that Xu Zhi, Hui Feng and the others were all beautiful young men, in order to attract their attention, those singers deliberately played silk and bamboo and sang:
"The moon is murmuring,
Flowing water is dying.
Whoever babbles,
Flowing water again. ”
At this time, a young girl was sitting on an oncoming bamboo raft, helping her father clean the fishing nets, which looked very much like Cheng Yingying from the side. When Huifeng saw it, he hurriedly waved the pipa in his hand, and was about to jump into the Bianhe River and chase after the girl.
Xu Zhi saw that Hui Feng was a little delirious, and hurriedly hugged him tightly from behind. Hui Feng just woke up from the illusion, he put down the pipa, and struggled to prop up the bamboo raft, but he didn't know that his strength was too strong and he almost fell. Li Cunxiao saw that he was unsteady on his feet, so he hurriedly supported him and let him sit in the bow of the boat.
At this time, several official ships came in front, full of flags, and a general led more than a dozen soldiers with spears to stand on the front boat, shouting loudly: "The people have heard clearly, this is General Ge's official ship, General Ge was ordered to pursue and suppress Caokou, and return to Bianzhou victoriously, please avoid it immediately!"
When the fishermen heard this, they rowed their boats to the banks of the river, giving way to the main channel for the official boat to pass. However, the river was narrow and there were many fishing boats, and suddenly the bow of the boat touched the stern, and there was chaos on the Bianhe River.
When the general saw that the people had no time to evade, he was furious and ordered the soldiers on the ship to use bows, arrows, and spears to stab the fishermen on both sides who had no time to evade. The fishermen were either killed or driven into the water.
Xu Zhi and Xue Atan hurriedly turned the bamboo raft, but the turbulent water caused the bamboo raft to change direction and crash into the official boat. The general on the official ship was hurriedly directing the soldiers to sail the boat, and suddenly saw a bamboo raft in front of him rushing up, and hurriedly ordered the arrow to be shot at Xu Zhi and the others.
Li Cunxiao saw that the general was fierce, and said to Xu Zhi: "Big brother, I will shoot the general who commanded first, and then we will board the official ship and kill this group of dog officials who only know how to kill the people!", after speaking, he shot a stone and hit the general's left eye.
The general covered his bleeding left eye and shouted, "There are assassins, everyone be on guard!"
Xu Zhi turned to Zhou Yuanzhi and He Mengjiao and said, "You take care of Senior Brother Hui! I'll go to find out the details of this General Ge!", after speaking, he raised his sword and jumped onto the official ship, and then Li Cunxiao, Xue Atan, Li, and Idiot also jumped on the official ship one after another.
The soldiers on the boat were stunned when they saw that Xu Zhi and the others were equipped with stunts and walked on the water as if they were walking on the ground, and they forgot to shoot arrows for a while. When Xu Zhi jumped onto the side of the boat, he woke up like a dream, and they all held spears and surrounded them, trying to drive Xu Zhi and the others into the water.
Xu Zhi didn't wait for those soldiers to approach, first a move "Golden Rooster Independence", and another move "Danfeng Chaoyang", forcing back a few soldiers led by him, Fang jumped up from the side of the ship, crossed the heads of everyone, and jumped to the general, who was shocked and hurriedly stabbed Xu Zhi with his sword.
Xu Zhi turned to the side slightly, made a move to "probe the bag and take things", hit the tiger's mouth point in the general's right hand with the hilt of the sword, knocked down the sword in his hand, turned to his back, grabbed him, and threw him into the vast river.
At this time, the two of them also waved the long sticks in their hands and drove the soldiers on both sides of the boat into the water.
Xu Zhi grabbed a general and forced him to ask him with a sword: "Where is your General Ge?
The general replied tremblingly: "The hero spares his life, our general is on the second ship!"
Xu Zhi picked up the general and threw it at the group of soldiers. The soldiers, fearing that they would injure their general by mistake, retreated one after another, but the poor general fell heavily on the board of the ship and cursed hatefully: "You fools, why don't you pick up General Ben and hunt down the assassins with General Ben!"
Xu Zhi shouted: "Cun Xiao, Ah Niu can't fall in love, hurry back to the bamboo raft!" and jumped from the first boat to the second boat after speaking.
Li Cunxiao and others were afraid that Xu Zhi would be unable to deal with more and more soldiers alone, and regardless of their own danger, they followed Xu Zhi and jumped on the second ship.
Xu Zhi saw that there were more soldiers on the second ship, but they all tightly surrounded the middle cabin, Xu Zhi knew that this General Ge must be in this cabin, he held the idea of "capturing the thief and capturing the king first", did not entangle with the soldiers outside, and made a move "Phoenix Dance Nine Days", jumped on the mast of the ship, and made another move "Dapeng spread his wings", and entered through the small window of the cabin.
Xu Zhi saw a drunken general, lying on the floor and sleeping soundly, he grabbed the general. The general opened his confused eyes and exclaimed, "Who is Your Excellency?
Xu Zhi pointed his sword at Ge Congzhou's throat and said, "Quickly let your subordinates stop!"
At this time, several guards also entered the cabin, and when they saw that Xu Zhi had caught Ge Congzhou, they didn't dare to step forward for a while. Ge Congzhou hurriedly ordered: "Quickly send an order, stop harassing the people! Stop fighting!" One of the guards did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to go out to pass the word.
The sound of fighting outside gradually stopped, and Li Cunxiao, Xue Atan, Anger, and Idiot also entered the cabin one after another. Xu Zhi saw that the brothers were safe, and his hanging heart finally let go, he wanted to know the news of the Huangchao Righteous Army very much at this time, and asked: "Where is the Yellow King now? If there is any concealment, this is the end!" After speaking, he used the Fengming sword to shave off half of Ge Congzhou's hair.
Ge Congzhou was shocked into a sweat, he didn't dare to hide it, and said intermittently: "We didn't kill this Huangchao traitor, he was killed by Li Keyong's black crow army, we just followed General Zhu's order, set up an ambush in the middle, and robbed Huangchao's head and his concubine!"
After listening to Ge Congzhou's words, he asked, "Even with the hundreds of people on your ship, you can also rob the spoils in the hands of the Jin army?"
Ge Congzhou didn't believe his words when he saw it, and hurriedly defended: "Don't doubt it, the hero brought three thousand men and horses with him, for safety, I asked the adjutant general to return by land under the banner of this general, and secretly return to Bianzhou by water!"
Li Cunxiao didn't finish listening, and said angrily: "You guys are taking advantage of the fire to rob and rob my father of the first merit of exterminating the righteous army!"
Ge Congzhou was shocked: "Your heroes are the people of King Jin?"
Xue Atan replied: "Tell you, scare you to death, this person in front of you is the Thirteenth Taibao of King Jin!", after speaking, he proudly pointed to Li Cunxiao beside him.
Xu Zhi said: "Since the head of the Yellow King is here, please hand it over, otherwise you will exchange your head for his!"
Li Cunxiao saw that Ge Congzhou was a little reluctant, so he stepped forward and cut off one of his ears with a sword, Ge Congzhou didn't dare to disobey anymore, so he had to let someone take out a big brocade box and hand it over to Xu Zhi.
Xu Zhi opened the brocade box and saw that the head of the Yellow Nest was embedded under a large piece of mercury, it was the height of summer at this time, although the head of the Yellow Nest was a little changed, but the eyes were still round, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
Li Cunxiao and others have some connections with Huang Chao, and they also surrounded them, and they all sighed when they saw that Huang Chao, who was famous all over the world, ended up with such a tragedy.
Ge Congzhou took advantage of Xu Zhi and the others to watch around Huang Chao's head, broke free from the restraints, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, don't you kill the assassins sent by Li Keyong and take back Huang Yi's head from them!", and ran out of the cabin after speaking.
When the soldiers on the ship saw that their general had escaped, they no longer had any scruples, and in order to grab the merit, they rushed to the cabin one after another, trying to use the wheel battle to capture Xu Zhi and others alive.
Besides, Zhou Yuanzhi and He Mengjiao saw that Xu Zhi had not returned for a long time, and they were anxious, but they didn't know the reality on the ship for a while, Zhou Yuanzhi said urgently, "Big brother, they must be in trouble, Mengjiao, you listen to the mess on this ship!"
He Mengjiao said to Zhou Yuanzhi, "Sister Zhou, you stay and take care of Brother Hui, and I'll help Brother Xu and them!"
Hui Feng also said: "Miss Zhou, Miss He, go ahead, I don't need you to take care of it!", turned around painfully after speaking.
He Mengjiao saw that Zhou Yuanzhi was a little hesitant, and comforted: "Sister Zhou, you forgot, Mengjiao is an underwater dragon, I will have a way to help the eldest brother and them get out of danger!", after speaking, he jumped into the water and dived close to the big boat where Ge Congzhou was.
After a while, some soldiers exclaimed, "No, tell the general, the ship is leaking and tilting!", and after a few more moments, there were more exclamations.
Xu Zhi and the others took advantage of the panic of the soldiers on the boat, held the brocade box in their arms, fought their way out of the encirclement, jumped into the water one after another, and swam to the raft. At this time, the soldiers on the boat shot arrows into the water, and Xu Zhi hurriedly dived into the water to avoid it.
Zhou Yuanzhi also hurriedly leaned over the raft, and when Xu Zhi and the four of them got on the boat, they knew that it was He Mengjiao who saved everyone. He Mengjiao poked her head out of the water not far away and shouted, "Big brother, you leave first, wait for the younger sister to scuttle a few more of his boats, and then catch up with you!"
After a while, several more official ships leaked, and Ge Congzhou hurriedly ordered the soldiers to plug the gap, and in his panic, he forgot to pursue the bamboo raft that Xu Zhi and others were riding.
Xu Zhi and others walked out of Bianzhou City along the Bianshui River and came to a laurel forest in the suburbs. Hui Feng gestured and asked to stop the boat here.
Everyone jumped off the bamboo raft with Hui Feng, only to see Hui Feng coming under a tall and lush osmanthus tree, carefully examining it, and then frantically waving the long sword in his hand, and suddenly the thorns and thatch around him splashed everywhere. Everyone didn't know what Hui Feng wanted to do, and it was inconvenient to ask him.
After a while, Huifeng cleaned up a clearing under the laurel tree, dug a big pit, and then wiped the pipa in his arms repeatedly, put it to his mouth again, and kissed it affectionately, before reluctantly putting it in the dirt pit and burying it with soil.
Huifeng buried the pipa used by Cheng Yingying before his death, and cut his fingers with a sharp sword, and repeatedly portrayed something on the osmanthus trunk. Everyone approached and saw that there were several square characters engraved with blood on it, "The Tomb of Beloved Wife Cheng Yingying".
Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi and others saw Huifeng kneeling on the ground, and solemnly bowed to the well-dressed mound a few times, and also followed him to bow a few times to Cheng Yingying's undead spirit. Xu Zhi, Huifeng, Zhou Yuanzhi, and He Mengjiao couldn't help crying when they thought of the happy time with Cheng Yingying.
Xu Zhi saw that Huifeng had been crying for a long time, so he persuaded: "Senior brother, people can't be resurrected after death, please mourn!"
Zhou Yuanzhi also persuaded: "Brother Hui, if you cry and break your body, Sister Yingying will also be uneasy underground, please mourn!"
He Mengjiao also persuaded: "Brother Hui, although Sister Yingying is gone, we must live well and avenge her!"
Li Cunxiao also said, "Brother Hui, what Sister He said is very true, you can't give up on yourself, you have to kill Zhu Wen with your own hands to avenge Sister Cheng!"
Hui Feng listened to everyone's persuasion, and finally understood, he broke a branch and wrote on the ground: "Brother Xu, brothers and sisters, don't worry, Hui Feng will definitely avenge Yingying!"
Xu Zhi persuaded: "Senior Brother Hui, it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and please leave Bianzhou with us, leave Zhu Wen, we must find a way to find a famous doctor all over the world and heal the limbs of the junior brother, and then it will not be too late for our brother to find Zhu Wen for revenge!"
Xue Atan also persuaded: "Brother Hui, what Brother Xu said makes sense!
Hui Feng shook his head and wrote on the ground: "Senior brother is already a wasted person, if he didn't want to avenge Yingying, he would have gone with Yingying a long time ago, and now he has nothing else to ask for, but to be able to lurk beside Zhu Wen, a traitor, and wait for an opportunity to take action, and finish off this demon as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Hui Feng had made up his mind, he suggested: "Brother Xu, since Brother Hui has made up his mind, while we are all in Bianzhou, why not let Brother Hui do the internal response and take the opportunity to kill Zhu Wen?"
When Xue Atan heard this, he first shouted, "Idiot, good idea!"
Xu Zhi also smiled and said, "Senior Brother Hui, then let's have an internal and external cooperation, kill Zhu Wen, avenge the dead Miss Cheng, and eliminate harm for the world!"
Hui Feng shook his head again, and gestured on the ground: "Since the assassination of Zhu Wen at the banquet that day was unsuccessful, Zhu Wen has increased his defense, and now although the younger brother is his personal servant, he can't get close to him, let alone know his whereabouts during the day and where he lives at night!
He Mengjiao said anxiously: "Brother Hui, we don't know Zhu Wen's reality and reality, so how can we assassinate him?"
Hui Feng wrote: "At present, there is only one way, that is, Hui Feng continues to lurk by his side, even if he waits for ten years, as long as he can let his guard down, it is like trying to assassinate Qingji, even if he is a crippled, he will definitely succeed!"
Xu Zhi still didn't feel at ease and said: "Senior Brother Hui listens to the words of the eldest brother: Zhu Wen is cunning and insidious, even the closest people can betray him, how can he easily trust the junior brother, this matter is too risky!
Hui Feng also wrote, "Brother Xu, don't worry about the younger brother, the younger brother has found out that Zhu Wen and his second son Zhu Youqi are not on good terms in Zhu Wen's mansion these days, and the younger brother decided to be disfigured, assumed the pseudonym Feng Tingge, and tried to commit himself to Zhu Youqi, provoke their father-son relationship, and play a good show of son killing his father!", after speaking, he laughed out loud desolately.
Xu Zhijian couldn't persuade Hui Feng, so he had to helplessly watch him alone, and returned to Zhu Wen's side along the Bianhe River on a bamboo raft.
Zhou Yuanzhi saw Li Cunxiao holding a brocade box in his hand and asked, "Big brother, what is in this box?"
Xu Zhi was afraid that Zhou Yuanzhi would be sad, and wanted to throw away the brocade box in the Bianhe River several times, but he was afraid that Zhou Yuanzhi would not be able to forgive himself after knowing the truth in the future, so he didn't know what to do with this brocade box.
Zhou Yuanzhi saw that everyone's expressions were very heavy, and when she walked to Li Cunxiao's side, she was about to take the brocade box to check it. Li Cunxiao was afraid that Zhou Yuanzhi would be sad, so he hurriedly took a few steps back, just bumping into He Mengjiao. The brocade box crashed to the ground, and the head in the box rolled out.
Zhou Yuanzhi took a closer look, called "Daddy!", and cried loudly.
Except for Zhou Yuanzhi, everyone knew the truth, and no one wanted to speak for a while.
