Chapter 16: Planning the Rescue

The next day, Cunyi and the drunkard entered the city again, and found many people gathered at the gate of the city, talking one after another. The two of them hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, and it turned out to be a notice posted by Jinyiwei to arrest important criminals in the imperial court. Cunyi read the notice in detail, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The notice clearly stated: "As a Jinyi guard, Liu Qiao, a prisoner, does not want to serve the imperial court, and connives, so he will be escorted to the capital immediately and executed by Ling Chi." ”

After reading the list article, Cunyi's expression was solemn, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time. He knew that Liu Qiao suffered this catastrophe, completely out of the righteousness of his friends, and he was determined to rescue Liu Qiao.

The drunk called Cunyi away, and the two found a secluded place, and the drunk man spoke first: "Brother Xian, if Liu Qiao falls into the hands of Wei Zhongxian, it will definitely be a dead end." ”

Cunyi said this to the drunk, knowing that he must be trying to rescue Liu Qiao, so Cunyi asked him if there was any way? The drunk shook his head, and he asked Cunyi if he had a mature plan.

Cunyi was silent for a moment, and then said to the drunkard: "The top priority is to get a detailed escort information, so that we can grasp the key data such as time, escort route, and number of escort personnel." ”

The drunk man sighed and said, "If anyone is willing to leak such confidential information, we won't sneak into the command embassy and come back." ”

Cunyi advised him not to be impatient, and he thought about it again. Cunyi needs someone who understands the local situation, and this person must not only be absolutely reliable, but also have officialdom experience and can keep abreast of Jinyiwei's dynamics.

In order to determine the right person in his heart, Cunyi pondered and meditated, and finally a person's name flashed in his mind. This person is Han Yi. Han Yi was hated by Wei Zhongxian because he was not in the same league as Wei Zhongxian, and was hunted down and killed by Liu Qiao. He knows Wei Zhongxian and Liu Qiao very well, and Han Yi is also a martial artist, so it will be easier to find out the news.

In the vast sea of people, it is not easy to find a person who only has one side. Cunyi told the drunkard about his idea of finding Han Yi. When the drunk man heard Cunyi mention this person, he immediately agreed, because he also knew that Han Yi was a person.

Now every second counts, the sooner Han Yi is found, Liu Qiao's life will be safer. The two immediately bought two fast horses, and set off for Fuzhou under the stars.

After the two arrived in Fuzhou, they found a post station to settle down, and Cunyi whispered to the drunk: "The old thief has many eyes and ears, and it is very difficult for us to inquire about the news, what can my brother do to find Han Yi in a short time?"

The drunkard replied: "In addition to the factory guards of the imperial court, if the whole world wants to get information about the rivers and lakes, the only way to find Hongxinmen is to go to Hongxinmen." ”

Cunyi said: "Since Hongxinmen has such ability, let's go find them." ”

The drunk man nodded, and the two went straight to the Hongxin Gate of Qingfeng Valley.

The owner of this Hongxin Gate, the people of the rivers and lakes call the ghost head sword king Deshan. Although he was named Deshan, he was not a good man and a woman. When Cunyi and the drunkard arrived at Hongxinmen, the two disciples asked them what they were doing here.

Cunyi told them about the search. The two disciples told them that if they wanted to find someone, they needed to collect the gold according to the degree of difficulty. They were eager to save people, and they didn't ask the price, so they quickly nodded and agreed.

Then the two disciples checked whether they were armed with weapons, but they did not find them, and took the two of them to the master.

saw Wang Deshan, and looked at this person's appearance. He has broad ears, a beard, and eyes like copper bells.

The disciples bowed and said, "Enlighten the door master, these two people are here to see the door master. ”

Wang Deshan waved his hand, and the two disciples stepped aside.

He looked the two of them up and down, and asked them who they were looking for?

Cunyi said: "We are looking for Han Yi." ”

Wang Deshan asked: "But Han Yi, who has been the commander of the capital?"

Cunyi replied, "Exactly." ”

Wang Deshan said: "You can find him, you need five hundred taels of gold." ”

How could Cunyi have so much money, Wang Deshan opened his mouth, and Cunyi's face showed embarrassment.

Seeing that Cunyi was silent, Wang Deshan said: "If you don't have any money, get out of Lao Tzu immediately." ”

The drunk interjected, "Wait, I have this." ”

Wang Deshan glanced at the sloppy drunk man standing in front of him, and asked disdainfully, "Do you have five hundred taels of gold?"

The drunk man took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, held it in his hand, and said to Wang Deshan: "This is my family heirloom, Qinglong Jade." ”

Wang Deshan saw this jade, pure white and flawless, crystal clear, and knew that its value was extraordinary.

He is worthy of being a greedy man who forgets his righteousness, his face was cloudy just now, and now the sun is shining again.

The drunkard handed over the Qinglong Jade to Wang Deshan, and he promised to send someone to find out where Han Yi was staying immediately, and he asked Cunyi and the others to go back to the post station first and wait for news from him.

Time passed like a white horse, and in the middle of the night, Cunyi got the news that Han Yi was in the land temple two miles east of the city.

The two immediately left the pavilion and went to the east of the city to find Han Yi.

Firewood was burning in the land temple, and a person was sleeping on the fluffy grass not far away.

Cun Yi shouted at this person: "Uncle Han." ”

The man immediately sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and found a young man standing in front of him.

He asked, "Nephew Yang Xian, is that you?"

Cunyi answered.

When the two wandering and despondent people met, they were moved by sorrow, and they both cried bitterly.

The drunk man on the side also cried, and he said, "Uncle Han, do you remember me?"

Han Yi approached and took a closer look and asked, "You are Brother Zhou Xian's son Maolan." ”

The drunk man nodded, and Han Yi continued to ask, "Virtuous nephew, how did you make it like this." ”

Mao Lan cried and said: "The destruction of my family is all due to Wei Zhongxian's old thief. ”

Han Yi sighed when he heard this, and he asked Cunyi why the two of them were looking for him?

Cunyi told Han Yi the ins and outs of Liu Qiao's arrest.

When Han Yi heard the news, he couldn't stop blaming himself. Cunyi persuaded him and told Han Yi that they had come to rescue Liu Qiao this time.

Han Yi asked Cunyi what he could do?

Cunyi wanted Han Yi to use the relationship to find out the specific route and time of escorting Liu Qiao.

Han Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Virtuous nephew, I am now a beggar-like figure, everyone respects me, who will ignore me in the court?"

Seeing that Han Yi was powerless, Cunyi couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. He said, "Uncle Han, isn't there any way to get close to the people of Dongchang?"

Han Yi stroked his gray beard and began to think.

After a long time, he patted his head and said, "I think of a person, I might as well look for clues from him." ”

Cunyi and Maolan hurriedly asked who this person was?

Han Yi replied: "This person's name is Sun Yunhe, and he is the criminal officer of Dongchang. He likes to linger in the wind and moon field, and every time he goes to a place, he must go to look for flowers and willows. The two virtuous nephews can take advantage of his weakness. ”

Cunyi said to Mao Lan beside him: "Brother, we might as well go to this Fengyue Field to find an errand, and then wait for the opportunity to approach Sun Yunhe." ”

Mao Lan replied: "I have reached the age of the weak crown, so naturally I don't care about anything when I go there, but my younger brother is young, what should I do?"

Cunyi said with a smile: "Brother don't worry about me, there is a shortage of people who hand over tea and pour water in that place of wind and moon." If I don't want to be paid, but just ask for a tile to cover my body, I think my mother will definitely agree. ”

Mao Lan nodded, and he said: "Virtuous brothers are handsome young men, anyone who sees them will like them, they are lacking a clever and capable one." ”

Cunyi asked Maolan, can you think of what errands?

Mao Lan saw that although Cunyi was young, he was full of changes, and he wanted to ask Cunyi's opinion.

Cunyi told Maolan to let him come to the biggest inn here and find an errand for a horse.

Mao Lan didn't understand what Cunyi meant, and Cunyi told him that those generals in Dongchang would ride fast horses to report information in case of emergency.

After listening to Cunyi's words, Mao Lan immediately understood.

He said, "Let's rest here tonight, and tomorrow everything will go according to plan." ”

Where can Cunyi sleep peacefully, planning things is in people, and success is in the sky, after all, several people are alone, whether they can rescue Liu Qiao, he is not absolutely sure in his heart.

He spent a difficult night in his thoughts.
