The people of the Flying Feather Gang have been in that cave for a long time, and every day (day rì) is to sleep in addition to eating and drinking. Every day is like one (日rì), drunk unconscious, drunk like mud.

After the black smoke disappeared from the cold cave, it came to the cave where the Flying Feather Gang was. I was glad to see them like this. They are no longer looking for their own way of living, but are attached to Him. Such people are easier to control.

The eyes of black smoke swept over everyone, everyone rubbed their eyes, shrunk their eyes, and the gang leader and deputy gang leader saw the black smoke. I was so scared that I immediately cheered up.

"You sons are living comfortably. But don't forget our agreement. Now I want you to do something. ”

The helper replied, "It's all up to you." He had no choice but to say that.

When the Flying Feather Gang heard the leader speak, they quickly stood up, lowered their heads, and didn't dare to look at the black smoke.

"Ming (日rì), I want you to go to the palace and take the emperor hostage. When the time comes, I will be useful. "Black Smoke knows that if these people want to go to the Snow Mountain Snow Pavilion and the Listening Rain Tower, it is impossible. If you can't go, let a few of them come out.

"Yes...... However, there are so many masters in the palace, how can I get into the palace with these fifty or so people?"

"I have my own way, give, take this wrench and say that I want to see the emperor, the emperor will definitely come out to meet, and then you will have a chance. When Black Smoke was fighting with Nian Xue, he had quietly stolen the token wrench that the emperor gave to Nian Xue, he stretched out his hand and conjured the wrench, and the Flying Feather Gang leader stretched out his hand, and the wrench fell into the hands of the gang leader.

"The emperor will come out to see him when he sees this?"

"Are you questioning me?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, the little one just asks. The gang leader bowed his head in a gray manner.

"Send a good-looking and well-behaved person, one person to Tian'an City Defu Qian Village, remember, only one person to go, to the counter to find the shopkeeper, and take out the wrench to show him, and then said that Nian Xue girl has something important to find the emperor, please ask him to meet in the maple forest outside the city tomorrow (day). Then the rest of you lay in ambush in the woods on the outskirts, and when they arrived, they tied him up. Bring it here. This is only two hours away from Cheonan City, so you can set off as soon as dawn. When this is done, there will be a great reward. ”

"The little one understands. Before the leader of the Flying Gang could raise his head again, the black smoke disappeared.

The leader of the Flying Feather Gang sat down in his chair, sweating profusely.

The deputy gang leader stepped forward and said to the gang leader: "Gang leader, this is a bit dangerous, what if the emperor leaves a hand and brings the (forbidden jìn) army? ”

The gang leader wiped the sweat from his forehead, glared at the deputy gang leader, and said, "Do you think we still have a choice at this time?"

"Help, we can escape. ”

"Escape, where to flee, do we still have a place to go now? Besides, wherever we flee, he will find us, and then we will die an even more ugly death. Go, bring the little Fuzi. ”

Xiaofuzi is a member of the Flying Feather Gang, about seventeen years old. He has lived in Ningxia for a long time. This person is good-looking, and at first glance he is well-behaved, and his personality is indeed introverted and obedient. He was the last to fly

The people of the Feather Gang, because of the double hope of their parents at home, have nowhere to go, and they originally joined the Feiyu Gang with the purpose of eating with a mouthful of food, just because the Flying Feather Gang was still the guest of the lord of Ningxia at that time, Xiaofuzi thought, with such a strong backer, he will be able to eat and dress warmly, and have no worries about food and clothing. In this way, Xiao Fuzi joined the Flying Feather Gang, and he didn't do any errands when he entered, and he just followed them every day.

The deputy gang leader called for Xiao Fuzi, who was dressed in dark red, and although the fabric was common, it was clean and tidy. He looked at the helper and deputy helper with a childish look and said, "Helper, deputy helper." ”

"Little Fuzi, you've been in the Flying Feather Gang for a long time, and you haven't been asked to do anything. If this is done, I will give you a good daughter-in-law and go home to live a good life. If you can't do it, you also know the rules of the Flying Feather Gang. The helper said.

The rules of the Flying Feather Gang are that they must succeed in doing things, and if they don't succeed, they will make a decision on their own. The gang will leave a whole corpse for burial. But if you escape, once you are caught, you will die even worse. They cut off the limbs and heads of those who had escaped, leaving only a man with a stick, and then buried them alive.

Although Xiaofuzi wanted to marry a daughter-in-law and go home to live a good life, he was afraid that if he couldn't do it, the consequences would be ...... Xiaofuzi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, his head on the ground, and his limbs trembled. He asked in a trembling voice, "Dare to ask the helper, what is the task?"

The helper got up from the chair (body shēn), walked to the side of Xiao Fuzi (body shēn), squatted down, patted Xiao Fuzi on the shoulder, Xiao Fuzi was so frightened by this pat that his shoulders shook down, and the helper said to Xiao Fuzi: "Xiao Fuzi, you only need to take this object and go to the Defu Money Village in Tian'an City, and when you arrive, show this object to the shopkeeper, and say that Nianxue girl has something important to find the emperor, and ask him to meet him in the maple forest outside Tian'an City tomorrow (日rì)." You can bring it to you. After that, you will meet us at the maple grove outside Cheonan. ”

Xiao Fuzi thought about the whole process for a while, relaxed a little, and replied: "Helper, it's that simple?"

"Yes, it's as simple as that, are you sure?"

Xiao Fuzi felt that this matter was easy to do, so he erected his (body shēn) son, but he still knelt. replied: "Helper, I am sure that this matter can be done, you just wait for the good news." ”

After that, Xiao Fuzi thought about it again, and he began to get nervous again, and he asked the helper: "Helper, what if the prince didn't go to the maple forest?"

"And the man said, He will go, and he will go. ”

"Okay, Xiaofuzi knows. ”

"Brothers, today (日rì) will rest early, tomorrow (日rì) will set off as soon as the day dawns, and they will all cheer up. The gang leader ordered the Flying Feather Gang to help.

On the second day, the sun has just emerged, and the morning mist envelops the entire bamboo forest, and the dew gradually drips on the bamboo leaves, and the red, immature sunlight penetrates through the cracks in the bamboo forest.

In the cave, the Flying Feather Gang got up early, packed up, brought weapons, and set off.

It's only been about an hour, and the gang sighs again and again, these many (日rì) children, they are used to eating to open their mouths, clothes to stretch out their hands, (日rì) (日rì) and beauty

What a joy it is to be the companion of people. Let them start the task now, and they will start to get lazy.

The gang leader and the deputy gang leader looked at this group of lazy guys, and they were angry. But to be honest, the two of them didn't want to go either, they were just helpless and had no choice.

The deputy gang leader shouted loudly: "All cheer up, and they all become soft persimmons." What else should I do? If we want to live a good life, we should go quickly and do it, and we will have a good life, and if we can't do it, we will wait for death. ”

Only then did the gang members gain a little more energy and speed up their pace.

When he arrived at Tian'an City, the gang leader asked Xiaofuzi to bring a message, and he and the others went to the maple forest to wait.

Xiao Fuzi went to Defu Qian Zhuang with a wrench, and when he was about to enter the door, he hesitated, he thought to himself: "Go, or not, look at this wrench, it is a very valuable object, if I run away with this wrench, and then find a place to be, then my good (day rì) son is really here." Follow them, sooner or later there will be a death (日rì). But in case the gang leader finds ?......" he stopped, sat down in the corner of an alley, and thought carefully.

"If I say that Miss Nianxue was taken away, it was I who saved Miss Nianxue, and those people chased after me, and it was too late to escape, so Miss Nianxue asked me to come here with this wrench to find the prince and let the prince go to the rescue. At that time, the emperor will take the (forbidden jìn) army to destroy the Feiyu Gang, and I can take advantage of the chaos to escape. However, if I say this, the prince will inevitably have to turn his fingers back, after all, I am only a stranger with a message and a letter. Isn't that meaningless?, I'd better run away with a wrench, Huifeiyu Gang will have a death sooner or later, it's better to gamble, and when the wind passes, I'll find a place to sell it, take the money to give birth to a child, and then marry a beautiful (Jiaojiāo) mother, wouldn't it be happy. ”

He had made up his mind, stood up (身shēn), and when he saw that there were no one from the Flying Feather Gang outside, he fled from Cheonan City.

The Flying Feather Gang and the others, waiting in the maple forest, none of them would have thought that such an honest, well-behaved and obedient little Fuzi would escape with a wrench.

"Gang leader, deputy gang leader, hungry, since we arrived in Tian'an City, we didn't have time to eat, so we asked about the maple forest, and the brothers were hungry. The leader of the small team that took the lead said.

The Flying Feather Gang now has only about fifty people, a total of five squads, each with a captain.

The gang leader had been waiting for a long time, and he was impatient, and when he heard this, he was so angry that he slapped the captain of the squad, first slapped his palm, and then fell to the ground, kicking this person with his foot. After the fight, the helper was finally relieved. But the captain of this squad didn't say a word and pushed to the back of the people. Don't dare to speak anymore.

"You all listen to me, and if anyone else doesn't listen to the order, pull it down and cut it down. For the sake of his contribution to the Flying Feather Gang, I will spare his life today. ”

The gang was too frightened to make a sound, and waited quietly.

Originally, it was said that it would be a good time, but when they waited until the unitary time, they had not yet seen it, let alone a person, not even an animal.

"Helper, what's going on? Xiaofuzi didn't bring his words? Or did the emperor know the news and refused to come?

”

The helper thought about it, but he didn't know what was going on.

After a while, he said to the deputy gang leader, "You take ten people to Tian'an City to investigate." ”

"Yes. The deputy gang leader took ten people to Tian'an City Defu Money Village.

When they arrived at the Tian'an City Market, the food on the street made the crowd drool, and because of what happened before, they didn't dare to speak, but silently followed the deputy gang leader, but their eyes looked at the food on both sides of the street without obeying.

The deputy gang leader looked back and saw this deputy appearance, and said, "That's it, go buy some food, buy more, and bring it to the gang leader and others when you go back." ”

When the ten men heard this, they went to buy a lot of food.

"Deputy Gang Leader, you see, there is Defu Money Village in front. One of them said.

"It's really magnificent. You, go in and ask, have you ever seen someone who looks like Xiaofuzi come, and you said that you are looking for a relative, and the relative said that she will come to the store today. The deputy gang leader pointed to the person who had just spoken.

"Yes, Deputy Gang Leader. ”

This person entered the Defu Money Village, walked to the counter, and asked, "Little brother, I can see a seventeen-year-old man who looks very delicate and came to the store today?"

The people in the counter looked at this person, one (身shēn) knows how to dress up for martial arts, and they don't look like good people, after all, they are people on the side of the emperor (身shēn), and they still have the eyesight to see people.

The man at the counter lazily replied, "Not yet." ”

The person continued to ask: "Trouble the little brother think about it carefully, he is my relative, I came to Tian'an City to find him, and he said that he would come today." ”

"Never. The man at the counter replied.

Although the people of the Feiyu Gang are a little angry, after all, this is the emperor's people, and I am afraid that there is a (forbidden jìn) army nearby. He didn't dare to say anything more and went out.

"How's it going?" the deputy gang leader asked when he saw that the man was back.

"The deputy gang leader, saying that he has never seen a person who looks like a little fuzi. It doesn't look like he's panicking. The man didn't dare to take any chances, so he added something that didn't look like he was panicking. He was afraid that the deputy gang leader would take them back to Defu Qian Zhuang again.

"That'...... Xiao Fuzi shouldn't be in any trouble, right?" said the deputy gang leader in a low voice.

"Deputy gang leader, it shouldn't be like it, isn't it, that little fuzi ran away, right?" the man continued to think about it, and suddenly said loudly: "Deputy gang leader, I'm afraid he didn't run away with that wrench, right? That wrench must be worth a lot of money." ”

"Be quiet...... the deputy helper said.

The deputy gang leader thought about this person's words, became more and more afraid, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, you go back and report to the gang leader, and I will take someone to find Xiaofuzi around here." ”

"Deputy gang leader, but it's been several hours, and that little Fuzi must have run away. ”

"What nonsense, go quickly. Tell the helper that they will meet in the alley next to Defu Qianzhuang. It is still not necessary, there are too many people, and the target is too big, which will arouse the suspicion of officers and soldiers. Let's look for it first, and then let's meet at the ruined temple we just passed by outside Cheonanseong. ”

This person went to the maple forest to report the news, and the deputy gang leader took people to Tian'an City, looking for Xiaofuzi everywhere.

he

They searched the entire city of Cheonan, from the east of the city to the west of the city, but there was no progress.

The person who reported the news ran to the maple forest in Tian'an City, saw the helper, and told the helper about everything (情qíng). The helper was so angry that he kicked him away, angry and angry, but more of them were afraid, he thought about how the black smoke would happen to him, and he was sweating profusely. Not only did it not work out this time, but I also lost my wrench. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he shuddered. hurriedly took everyone to the ruined temple outside Tian'an City to meet with the deputy gang leader.

After a while, the helper and everyone arrived at the broken temple, a group of people were waiting outside, and the helper and several detachment leaders were waiting in the broken temple.

The deputy gang leader took these few, but when he saw that he couldn't find them, he had to go to meet the gang leader and think again. When they arrived at the ruined temple outside the city, the deputy gang leader hurriedly ran in.

The helper was now sitting on the hay-covered ground, sweating profusely.

"Helper, that little Fuzi's burden is too big, no one thought that he would run away. The deputy gang leader said anxiously to the gang leader.

"Is the message certain?"

"Just now I took these people to inquire around, and I didn't hear anything happened in the city, which proves that Xiaofuzi didn't have any accidents, and we all watched him walk towards Defu Village, at that time, Defu Village was not far away, and we all saw it. If you watch him go in, or leave someone outside and wait and watch him, he won't run away. Now that I think about it, there is only one possibility, he escaped with a wrench. ”

"Is there still a possibility? The people from Defu Qianzhuang didn't believe what Xiao Fuzi said, and saw that he was holding the emperor's token, so they tied him up and interrogated him in detail?" The gang leader would rather believe that Xiao Fuzi was arrested, than that he couldn't believe that the wrench was gone. He tried his best to think about other possibilities (性xìng), and there was still room for things (情qíng) to turn around.

"Helper, I also asked someone to go into Defu Qianzhuang to investigate, but the people inside said that today (Rirì), there is no one who looks like a little Fuzi has been there. ”

"If they really tied up Xiaofuzi, would they tell you that they had seen it?" said the helper loudly.

"So, helper, what are we going to do?"

The helper sighed again and again, trying to calm himself down, and thought carefully of the way.
