The scholar asked Huang Songhe to go to Zhenjiang temporarily, and he returned to Chun'an County alone to find Li Fan to take revenge. A thick cloud swept over the waning moon, and a cuckoo on the branch let out a mournful cry.

The sobbing sound in the county magistrate's mansion was mixed with the cuckoo's cry of blood, which made people's hearts churn constantly. The scholar silently rolled over to the roof in the snow, quietly peeking at everything in the house.

An old woman, supported by a young woman, stood beside the coffin, howling uncontrollably. She was crying and scolding someone. After listening carefully, the scholar found that the person scolded by the old woman was Wei Zhongxian.

I only listened to the old woman's mournful words, saying that Li Fan had been reprimanded by Wei Zhongxian because he was rescued from being a heavy prisoner, and he knew that he could not escape death, so he had committed suicide by taking poison.

The scholar heard it clearly, and thought to himself: "Such a way of dying is cheaper for this thief." When he turned around, he suddenly thought of how cunning Li Fan was, and this was probably his conspiracy. How can a good person say that he is dead when he dies?

With suspicion, the scholar jumped off the eaves and sneaked into the mourning hall when there was no one. Li Fan's coffin was placed in the center, and after the scholar opened the coffin, Li Fan's face was blue and black. There are also congaguated spots of blood next to the nostrils. He examined the corpse, a puzzled look on his face.

Then the old woman and the young woman walked outside the door, and the old woman stood tremblingly outside the door with a cane. She pointed at the scholar and said to him: "The dead are the greatest, what kind of enmity do you have with Fan'er, after he died, you are still so unrelenting." ”

In the face of the sad old woman, the scholar was helpless. The corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say a word. The old woman discarded her crutches and staggered towards the scholar.

The scholar was worried that the old woman would die because of herself, so he broke the window and left the county mansion. Standing in the pine forest, the scholar kept sighing, although Li Fan was dead, he had left his lonely mother. "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, what did Li Fan get in the end?"

The scholar used a flying pigeon to pass the book and told Cunyi and Yufeng about Li Fan's death. He instructed Cunyi not to worry about himself. Now he is going to Zhenjiang to find Huang Songhe and discuss how to deal with Wei Zhongxian together.

Three days later, on the night of Li Fan's burial. A ghostly man rode a fast horse and escaped from Chun'an County. This person is none other than Li Fan, who cheated to death. In order to escape the pursuit, he didn't care about his mother's body at all, and resorted to such a despicable and shameless means.

Wei Zhongxian was discussing with his henchmen in the palace to help the emperor's nurse Keshi and frame Li Xuanzhi. At this moment the chamberlain walked in and presented him with a letter.

When Wei Zhongxian opened the letter, his pale and wrinkled face became distorted. He slapped the table heavily and said to the chamberlain: "Send a message from the horse, telling Cao Qincheng to destroy the fast horse gang." ”

The chamberlain nodded, and took the order to retreat.

Zhao Zhuolong was injured and held his breath, and wanted to ask Tian Ergeng to avenge him. However, Tian Ergeng refused to dispatch Jinyi Guard on the grounds that he did not have a warrant from Gonggong Wei. Zhao Zhuolong retreated with anger, thinking about revenge in his heart.

This time he could sweep away the boredom in his heart, Cao Qincheng was ordered by Wei Zhongxian to come to the aid on a dozen large barges. Zhao Zhuolong saw Cao Qincheng coming, and told him in detail that Ma Wanli defied tolerance and plundered the ship.

Cao Qincheng was furious and ordered Zhao Zhuolong to draw a map of the defense of the Kuaima Gangshui Village. He wanted to take the brocade guards who were familiar with the water nature and capture Ma Wanli at night.

Zhao Zhuolong told Cao Qincheng that he had broken the water village of the Kuaima Gang before, but Ma Wanli was strong in martial arts, and he didn't get the slightest bargain.

Cao Qincheng listened, glared at Zhao Zhuolong, and he said to Zhao Zhuolong with contempt: "In the future, don't say this kind of thing to increase the morale of others and destroy your own prestige, I am ashamed of you." ”

Zhao Zhuolong was silent, listening to Cao Qincheng's count. Although the water village was burned, Ma Wanli was not an idle person, how could he not strengthen the defense and repair the water village.

Cao Qincheng thought about it for a while, and ordered someone to prepare it, rockets, crossbows, hooks, ropes, and iron scissors, and after all the items were prepared, he asked the Jinyi guards to recuperate and prepare to attack the Fast Horse Gang at night.

Ma Wanli made up for the loss, and along the lookout platform of the lake water village, he set one outside the door. And the water village is closed, and sharp piles and iron nets are also placed under the water.

Late at night, Cao Qincheng drove the big boat and came to the Fast Horse Gang. The sentry has already spotted them. He shook the lantern and signaled to all parts of the water village to be on guard.

Seeing that the Kuaima Gang was on guard, the Jinyi Guard asked Cao Qincheng what he should do? Cao Qincheng killed the patrol minions outside with a flying knife, and then he took out the embroidered spring knife and said to the Jinyi guards: "My father-in-law has an order, let us exterminate the Kuaima Gang, and here today, if anyone dares to retreat, Hugh blames the sword for being ruthless." ”

While directing the army to charge and kill, he drove the big ship to continue to advance. When he arrived at the gate of the village, Cao Qincheng saw that the gate was closed, so he asked Jinyiwei to go into the water to cut the pile. After Jin Yiwei went down, he found that the outer layer of the stake had been covered by iron mesh. The iron mesh was covered with sharp barbs and was quenched with poison. Several brocade guards went into the water, unfamiliar with the situation, and lost their lives in vain.

Ma Wanli looked at the situation outside from afar, and shouted from afar: "Master Ma, I have an iron wall, and a fly doesn't want to fly in." The Jinyi guards listened and said to Cao Qincheng: "Commander, the underwater is impassable, it is really as he said." ”

Cao Qincheng glanced back at him and kicked the man to the ground. Then he asked for the hook and the rope, and tied the hook to one end of the rope, and then he shook the end of the rope a few times and threw it onto the second lookout.

The minions saw Cao Qincheng throw the rope and were about to swing a knife to cut it off, when Cao Qincheng shot another flying knife and shot the minions at the lookout. Then he rose into the air and, with the help of a rope, climbed to the lookout. After fixing the rope to the beam of the lookout, he ordered Jinyiwei to hurry up and climb up.

Ma Wanli was furious and ordered his minions to gather the arrows in one place, and when Cao Qincheng grabbed the rope and swung forward, the arrows shot towards his heart. The minions exchanged glances, secretly exchanging messages.

Cao Qincheng grabbed the rope and hung his body in mid-air, like a monkey. When the minions saw him coming, the arrows that rained down like a torrential rain shot towards his heart.

I saw Cao Qincheng grasp the rope, crossed his legs, kicked hard with his feet, and left the rope with both hands. He did a few somersaults in the air and dodged the incoming crossbows. Ma Wanli bit his lip in anger, he pushed away the minion, threw out the arc moon whirling knife, and threw it at Cao Qincheng. Cao Qincheng dodged sideways, the whirling knife came back, and Cao Qincheng heard the wind behind him. As soon as he bent down, the whirling knife cut the rope.

Ma Wanli gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, keep shooting for me, and tie him into a hedgehog for me." Another burst of chaotic arrows flew in, Cao Qincheng saw the wooden ladder next to him out of the lookout, grabbed it with one hand, and made a "fish jump out of the abyss", and his body turned over, this beam of wood reduced Cao Qincheng's falling force, giving him a chance to breathe in the air.

Ma Wanli saw that Cao Qincheng was even avoiding arrows, but the lookout saved his life, he ordered his minions to pile up firewood and grass under the platform, poured a layer of pine oil on it, and set a fire on the spot. A fiery dragon soared into the sky, billowing smoke engulfing everything around it. Ma Wanli let the minions fire a burst of arrows towards the arrow tower, and the smoke was blind, and he didn't know whether Cao Qincheng was dead or alive on it.

Cunyi and Yufeng said goodbye to the scholar, and Yufeng asked Cunyi, where can I find the old monster with a thousand faces and Zhang Jianfeng? Cunyi looked at a loss, because the old monster with a thousand faces fought with the strange man of the Tianshan Mountain, and he was bruised on top of his mental strength, and he would definitely hide in a remote place and concentrate on cultivating his evil martial arts, and it was not easy to find him.

Yufeng nodded, and she told Cunyi that she could try to find Zhang Jianfeng and clear the portal for your master. Cunyi told Yufeng that maybe only Senior Sister Ziyan could earn him, but Senior Sister was now in the Tianshan Seniors, and she was estranged from her, and she was killing her senior brother, so using her like this would undoubtedly hurt her.

Yufeng also knew that it was inappropriate to use Zi Yan, she sighed lightly, and said softly: "Since there are no clues at the moment, why don't we walk along everywhere and unintentionally insert willows, maybe the clues will become willowy?"

Cunyi thinks that Yufeng's words are reasonable, and walking around can also relieve the worries in his heart. The two were talking, and a person rushed out from behind him, flashing Cunyi's shoulder with a large cloth bag.

This person did not apologize to Cunyi, but glanced at the two of them, and said with a curse in his mouth: "Good dogs don't get in the way." ”

Yu Feng Xing's eyes were angry, and she pulled out the dragon whip, and she wanted to teach this rude fanatic a lesson.

Cunyi stopped her and persuaded: "You don't have to be as knowledgeable as this splash, it's important for us to hurry." ”

Seeing that Cunyi was carrying a sword, this man hurried away. He stretched out his hand to block Cunyi's way,

Cunyi said to him: "What do you want to do if you block my way?"

The man looked Cunyi up and down with his eyes, and asked arrogantly, "Did you go to join the army?"

Cunyi was inexplicably asked by him, and he said to this person: "Join the army?

Seeing Cunyi's puzzled face, this person let go and turned away. He didn't look back and said: "Whether you are pretending to be stupid or not, don't fight the idea of the head of the army, that position belongs to Lao Tzu." ”

In the dark night, this person had long since disappeared, and only his words were still recalled in the ears of the two.

Yufeng asked Cunyi, what did the person mean by what he said just now?

Cunyi replied: "Feng'er, I think this person must have secretly bribed the generals and sought some position. ”

When Yufeng heard this, she frowned angrily. Cunyi told Yufeng that there were too many scum in the court like this. The two walked while talking, and took advantage of the hazy moonlight to find a store and stay.
