Chu Zhao smiled and said, "Sister, this is a coincidence, we are about to go to Sima Mansion after we find you." Ma Yibing Qi said: "Why do you want to go?" Chen Zhi said: "This Sima Mansion has invited a lot of martial arts people, but we have seen them bullying the weak outside the mansion. Ma Yibing was a little anxious, and said: "Wouldn't these people from the Divine Hammer Gang be like this, then how can they come to help us?" Chen Zhi said: "No, since it was recommended by Senior Mu, the people of the Divine Hammer Gang should all be righteous." Chu Zhao patted Chen Zhi and said, "My stupid brother, you are too naïve, thinking that such a huge gang as the Divine Hammer Gang is naturally clear and turbid, and definitely not everyone is a good person." Chen Zhi asked, "What should I do then?" Chu Zhao said: "Sneak in, but don't identify yourself." ”

The three of them put the horses back into the inn and walked towards Sima Mansion on foot, and when they arrived, it was getting late, Chu Zhaoxi said, "This night is just right to help us sneak in." "With a light effort, he gently and skillfully crossed the high wall. Ma Yibing said: "This wall is too high, I can't do it." Chen Zhi encouraged: "Miss Ma, have faith, you will definitely be able to pass." Ma Yibing said: "I'll try it." She took a deep breath and jumped over in two jumps. Chen Zhi is very skilled in breaking through the sky and floating clouds, this high wall is nothing to him, and he jumps over it with a slight click.

Chen Zhi saw lanterns hanging everywhere, and Chu Zhao complained: "It's really like there's something happy, and you don't tell the outside world." It's a lot of money to hang so many lanterns in it. However, it is so messy that it is easy for us to sneak in and go. Then he quietly walked in with the two of them.

The three of them gradually approached the room, only to see more and more servants moving inside, Chu Zhao stopped and said, "Uncle to brother, it seems that we have to arrest a family member, and then you change into his clothes and listen to what they want to do." Chen Zhi said: "Eavesdropping?" Chu Zhao said: "Yes, Uncle Zhi brother, we really can't show up with our identity, but we must know what they are going to do." Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The three of them hid in the shadows, and when they saw a tall man walking over, Chu Zhao said in a low voice: "This is good, this one is tall, and the uncle must pretend to be like the elder brother." Chen Zhi and Ma Yibing pounced at the same time without saying a word, the man felt movement behind him, and when he looked back, he just saw Chen Zhi and Ma Yibing each attacking him with a palm, and hurriedly handed out his arms to block the attack of the two. Chen Zhi smashed his fist at his head, the man quickly dodged, but Ma Yibing cut his palm at his waist, and the man quickly lowered his body in pain. Chen Zhi saw that he was about to shout, and hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth. The two of them each slapped again, but they were both blocked, or Chu Zhao suddenly jumped out from behind the man, and hit the acupoint on his shoulder with a finger, Chen Zhi made up an elbow on the man's neck, and knocked the man to the ground.

Chu Zhao sighed and said, "Uncle to brother, it seems that you still have to let Senior Mu teach you some acupoints, otherwise it will be too time-consuming and laborious to beat these nobodies." Chen Zhi scratched his head embarrassedly and dragged the man into the dark.

Chen Zhi changed into the man's clothes and asked, "Xiao Zhao, where are you hiding?" Chu Zhao said: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhi, we will stay here, if you come back and we are not here, you will go back to the inn directly." Remember, find those servants, then stand with them, be careful not to be discovered, and listen to the important information they say. Chen Zhi nodded, and Chu Zhao told again: "Remember not to meet the three people you have seen." ”

Chen Zhi tiptoed out, and suddenly thought that he had already pretended to be a person in the mansion, so why should he be so careful?

I saw that on a large round table, there were still four empty seats, and on the other seats were sitting martial arts people in different costumes and a boy in his twenties, and they were chatting separately. After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties walked out, and everyone hurriedly stood up to greet him, only to see the boy stand up and introduce: "Heroes and heroes, this is my father Sima Fang." Then they all praised each other and then sat down.

I only heard Sima Fang say: "Do you heroes here know why I invited you here this time?"

I saw a short man in black and said: "Mr. Sima did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite us, I think there is something that needs our help, please rest assured Mr. Sima, as long as Mr. Sima is in need, Pang and Lu Kai will help themselves." The others nodded in agreement. Sima Fang said with a smile: "Thank you Gang Leader Pang, it's just that this matter is very confidential, I hope you don't disclose any news to the outside world." And they all agreed.

At this time, a fat monk asked, "Mr. Sima, may I ask who these three vacant seats are, and why haven't they come yet?"

Sima Fang smiled: "Yes, they are the guests I invited a long time ago, and now it's time for everyone to meet." Then he clapped his hands and said, "Come out." Three men came out of the other side of the house.

The three men were each wearing black robes, and their faces were relatively cold. When everyone saw the three people, Gang Leader Pang took the lead in changing his face and said, "Ghost Shadow Three?" The first one replied with a smile: "It's the three of us brothers, Gang Master Pang, hello, look up for a long time." Geng Shijie was polite. Everyone looked at each other and was silent, and the fat monk stood up angrily and said, "Mr. Sima, you can just invite us to a banquet, how can you let us have a table with the three of them, I, Luo Tao, have low skills, and I can't match them, so I will leave first." With that, he turned and was about to leave. Geng Shijie said loudly: "Wait, Master Luo, you don't want to share a table with our brothers, but you look down on us?" Before Luo Tao could answer, a strong man dressed in blue spoke: "You 'ghost shadow three owls' are notorious in the rivers and lakes, and no one knows about the rivers and lakes, and it is simply an insult to us to share the table with you! Yan Xunde is not talented, and he is not allowed to sit with you. "If you say that, you have to leave the table.

"Slow!" Geng Shijie said again: "I, Geng Shijie, do have a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, but if anyone here has seen Geng do those heinous things, if you have seen it, you can leave me casually and I will not stop you." If not, please sell Geng's face and leave everyone to help Mr. Sima. ”

Everyone hesitated, Luo Tao and Yan Xunde were about to leave their seats, but they also returned to their seats, Yan Xunde said unhappily: "I really haven't seen your three brothers burn, kill and loot with my own eyes, but today I just give Mr. Sima face, not face." ”

"Well said, well said. Geng Shijie responded with a smile, but secretly sneered in his heart: "Don't you know what kind ......of character you are?

Sima Fang spoke again: "Since everyone is willing to give me and the 'Ghost Shadow Three Owls' this face, then we naturally have a big gift to give you." Gang Leader Pang, you have just taken over the throne, and I know that there are still people in the Lu Kai Gang who are not convinced by your status, but if you can take out your long-lost gang leader token Lu Kaihuan, I believe that your gang leader status will be stable. ”

Gang Master Pang was taken aback, and said in a trembling voice: "But the long-lost Lu Kaihuan?" Sima Fang smiled: "Exactly, it has been found by the 'Ghost Shadow Three Owls' and is being placed in their room." Gang Leader Pang was overjoyed and said: "Okay, Pang will work for Mr. Sima with Brother Geng this time." Seeing his expression, Chen Zhi was also very disdainful in his heart, and said secretly: "It's so easy to send away? It seems that you are not a good thing." ’’

Sima Fang turned to the person next to the Pang gang leader again, Chen Zhi saw that this person was wearing a white turban tied to his head, wearing a yellow robe, and his expression was very arrogant, and he remembered that this person had not spoken before, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and said in his heart: "It seems that this person must be a capable person." I only heard Sima Fang say: "This brother Yu Qingfeng, I believe everyone has known him before, he is a member of the Divine Hammer Gang." When the crowd heard this, their faces changed color.

Sima Fang ignored everyone's faces and said to Yu Qingfeng: "Brother Yu, I know that you belong to Qianjun Hall, and I also know that your Ran Hall Master is particularly fond of collecting weapons, so Brother Geng specially found the Taiping Sword that Zhang Jiao used when he led the Yellow Turban Uprising for you, I believe that if you can hand it over to your Ran Hall Master, he will definitely value you even more." When Yu Qingfeng heard this, his eyes sparkled, and he hurriedly said: "In this case, I should help Mr. Sima with Brother Geng." ”

Chen Zhixin said: "It seems that this Yu Qingfeng is just a flatterer, I'm afraid he won't have any real skills, so it's better not to ask him for help." ”

Sima Fang commented on the rest of the people one by one and said what benefits the 'Ghost Shadow Three Owls' would give them, and everyone changed their attitudes after hearing this, and they all stepped forward to thank Sima Fang and the 'Ghost Shadow Three Owls'. Chen Zhi only felt that those things were nothing remarkable, but he still secretly waited and watched.

When it came to the three people Chen Zhi met, the leader of them was sitting in the seat, and the other two were standing behind him. Sima Fang said with a smile: "I know that the three masters are Wu Ze, who is unparalleled in the world of martial arts, and my son Sima Yi is also his disciple, and we have nothing clever to give him, but I promise that if we can get the secret book about martial arts, we will definitely deliver it to him." The leader arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sima, Master, he is not interested in anything, but loves martial arts, since you said so, then we should be sent by ourselves." ”

When Chen Zhi heard that they were Wu Ze's apprentices, he was taken aback, and said in his heart: "Wu Ze's apprentices' martial arts are certainly very high, but their character is no more than that, it seems that this Wu Ze still needs to improve in educating apprentices." ”

Sima Fang said again: "Having said so much, why don't you let everyone open their eyes first, Brother Geng, how about bringing those things and books?" Geng Shijie said: "Okay, third brother, you go and bring all of them." The man to his left nodded, "Yes." Then he got up, hooked his hand at Chen Zhi and the young man who was dressed the same as him, and said, "You two come with me." Chen was stunned, only to see the person next to him walking over, but he didn't know what to do.

The man was also surprised to see that he was not moving, and stepped forward and asked, "Aren't you my second brother's chosen entourage?" Chen Zhi hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear clearly." The man shook his head and said, "Forget it, come with me." And he took the two of them with him.

Sima Fang said: "A month ago, Brother Geng and I found a fire in Pingyu City in Runan County, and we wanted to go to put out the fire, but we accidentally got a book from the library there - "National Salvation Policy". I carefully consulted this book and found that it actually recorded the summary of the art of war of Zhao Wu Anjun Li Mu of the Warring States Period, Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. But after my research, there is still an upper volume of this "National Salvation Policy", and all I got is the second volume, so I called everyone here, hoping to unite the efforts of everyone to find this upper volume. ”

Gang Master Pang said unconvincedly: "Mr. Sima, does this "National Salvation Policy" really have such an effect?" Geng Shijie smiled: "Gang Master Pang, your attainments in martial arts are indeed very high, but I don't think everyone here knows much about large-scale wars, this "National Salvation Policy" is a military book, and his utility I don't think is under the "Art of War" written by Sun Wu of the Warring States Period. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded, and they all said: "I will do my best to help Mr. Sima find the first volume of "National Salvation Policy". ”

Chu Zhao and Ma Yibing saw Chen Zhi being taken away from a distance, Chu Zhao was taken aback, and said to Ma Yibing: "Sister, it seems that something must have happened to Brother Shuzhi, I'll go over and take a look, you stay here." If we haven't come back for too long, you can go back to the inn first. Ma Yibing nodded, and Chu Zhao quietly followed him while the night was dark.

Chen Zhi and the other young man followed behind the third child of the "Ghost Shadow Three", Chen Zhi quietly asked the young man: "Little brother, who are they? What are we going to do?" The young man glanced at him, because the night did not recognize him as a living person, but after hearing his question, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Aren't you also chosen by Xu Guojie? Why don't you recognize them?" Chen Zhi shook his head blankly, and the young man had to whisper: "My name is Wang Huan, and the three of them are called." The ghost shadow three owls are martial arts masters, the eldest Geng Shijie is the one sitting in the middle, the second Xu Guojie is the one on the right next to him, and he is also the one who chose us to be the entourage, and the one in front is called Zhang Renjie, who is the third. Hey, weren't you selected by Xu Guojie yesterday?" Chen Zhi hurriedly said: "Yes, but I don't have a good memory." ”

Wang Huan didn't think there was anything strange when he heard this, so he said, "It's better to talk less, otherwise you will be scolded." Chen Zhi listened, and quickly quickened his pace to follow.

The three of them walked to a secluded house, and Zhang Renjie said: "You two pay attention to me, you are not allowed to touch the things in the house, do you hear?" Wang Huan nodded quickly, but Chen Zhi didn't know why, and looked at him blankly. Zhang Renjie was very strange and asked, "What are you kid in a daze? Did you hear it?" Chen Zhi nodded quickly and said, "I heard it, I heard it." ”

Zhang Renjie didn't pay attention to more, so he led the two into the house, and under the light of the candlelight, he saw that the room was wide and long, and the middle corridor was full of tables and stools. Chen looked around, only to see that the left and right rows were cabinets, the cabinets were divided into many grids, each grid was placed with sealed jars, and when he went to the depths, he saw a huge sewing machine placed at the end of the room, Chen Zhixin said: "I didn't expect these three guys to like to cut clothes, it seems that they and Xiao Zhao's father are all the way." ”

Zhang Renjie stopped, threw the two plates to the two, and said, "Hold the plates and put things in place, don't spill them on me." With that, he put a book on the plate that Wang Huan was carrying.

Chen Zhi took a closer look at the dim candlelight, and the shabby but familiar cover on it actually had three eye-catching words written on it, "National Salvation Policy", and he was shocked and said: "I didn't expect that the leader didn't snatch the "National Salvation Policy", today is a good time to return things to their original owners. ”

Zhang Renjie saw that Chen Zhi was in a daze again, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you doing? Why don't you come over and pick up things?" Chen Zhi hurriedly stepped forward, Zhang Renjie put a bunch of things on it, what tokens were there, there was a green ring, and a weird sword and other strange things, but Chen Zhi didn't care, his eyes were always on the "National Salvation Policy".

Zhang Renjie finished putting everything away, and said "Okay", seeing that Chen Zhi was still motionless, he said loudly: "Are you deaf? ”

Chen Zhi took two steps, suddenly threw the saucer in his hand into the sky, and threw his body towards Wang Huan in front of him. Zhang Renjie was taken aback and shouted, "Hey, what are you doing?" and hurriedly went to pick up the plate. Chen Zhi slapped Wang Huan's shoulder with a palm, Wang Huan couldn't make a move, and was chopped to the ground. Chen Zhi reached out to pick up the "National Salvation Policy", and was about to run after Wang Huan, when he was suddenly hit by a hard object in the back, Chen Zhi was in great pain, and he almost fell down when he pounced forward. Chen Zhi looked back, it turned out to be Zhang Renjie's clothes that were crumpled into balls and thrown away pieces of clothes on the sewing machine, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect his internal strength to be so strong.

Zhang Renjie took a plate of things and asked coldly: "Who are you, why did you come to steal things?" Chen Zhizheng said: "This is not stealing, this is originally my family's things." Zhang Renjie sneered: "Yes, it seems that we stole something, it really shouldn't be." With that, he put down his plate and pounced on Chen Zhi, and Wang Huan also stepped forward to grab the book. Chen Zhi stretched out his left arm to open Wang Huan's fist and kicked him in the chest, Wang Huan flew out upside down, and fell into Zhang Renjie's arms. Zhang Renjie said angrily: "Useless thing!" pushed Wang Huan away with all his might, and saw that Chen Zhi had taken the "National Salvation Policy" into his arms and ran a few steps, so he hurriedly caught up and hit Chen Zhi's back with a palm.

Chen Zhi knew that he was extremely fast, so he grabbed the candlestick next to him and waved it back. Zhang Renjie was not afraid at all, and slapped on the candlestick.

The candlestick was instantly shattered by Zhang Renjie's palm. Chen Zhi only felt a pain in his left hand, and rolled forward. Zhang Renjie's right hand was also shaken by the candlestick, and his black robe was also ignited by the candle flame, so he didn't care about making a move at this time, and hurriedly slapped the flames on the robe.

Seeing this, Chen Zhi hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran. Zhang Renjie quickly extinguished the small stream of fire, and when he saw that Chen Zhi wanted to run, he roared angrily, jumped up and changed his left palm to Chen Zhi Tianlinggai.

Chen Zhi felt a strong wind coming from the sky, and hurriedly jumped forward to avoid it. Zhang Renjie missed the blow, and then stepped forward and grabbed Chen Zhi's left leg. Chen Zhi's right leg kicked out, Zhang Renjie dodged away, but his left hand firmly grasped Chen Zhi's left leg, and Chen Zhi's right leg kicked the cabinet next to him.

Seeing that the cabinet was hit by Chen Zhi's kick, he actually shook it, Zhang Renjie was taken aback, and quickly put down Chen Zhi's left leg and helped the cabinet. Chen Zhi stood up and saw that he was afraid that the cabinet would shake, so he kicked on the cabinet again. The cabinet shook violently again, and several jars couldn't help but shake and fall down.

Zhang Renjie shouted: "No!" flew forward to rescue, but a jar still broke on the ground, wafting a burst of wine.

Chen was surprised, and said in his heart: "It's just wine, it's really strange that he is afraid of being like this." But he found that Zhang Renjie was afraid that the jar would break, so he kicked on the cabinet again. The cabinet shook again, but no jars fell. Zhang Renjie's eyes were blood-red, he glared at Chen Zhi angrily, and scolded: "Thief, you are dead!" put down the jar on his body and pounced on Chen Zhi.

Seeing that he was menacing, Chen Zhi hurriedly pulled out the long sword he had just bought. Zhang Renjie had already slapped it with one palm, and it hit the blade of the sword. Chen Zhi was shocked by his strength, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Zhang Renjie himself was not comfortable, although he avoided the sharp side of the long sword, but the long sword was not inferior, and his palm was also a little painful. Zhang Renjie didn't stop, and slapped down another palm towards Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi dodged, and Zhang Renjie slapped his palm on the table in the middle, directly smashing the table. Chen Zhi flashed to the other side, grabbed a jar and smashed it towards Zhang Renjie. Zhang Renjie shouted: "No!" Hurry up to pick it up, Chen Zhi took the opportunity to run a few more steps.

Zhang Renjie put down the jar and chased after him, Chen Zhi saw that he could still move quickly in the confined and obstructed space, so he hurriedly went around behind a table, grabbed a few jars and threw them at him. Zhang Renjie was shocked and hurriedly reached out to catch it, but after he caught four or five, he couldn't hold it in his hand at all, and a few more flew and had to tap lightly with his foot, and then catch it with the instep of his foot. Chen Zhi seized the opportunity, took a jar in each hand and threw it straight towards Zhang Renjie's chest, Zhang Renjie could neither catch nor dodge, he was heavily smashed by two jars, countless jars were smashed to the ground, and those wines were left all over the ground, Chen Zhi knew that these were good wines that had been brewed for more than decades at a glance, and said in his heart: "These wines are so expensive, if he catches them, I can't afford to pay for them." ''Knowing that if he was caught this time, he would have to die, so he quickly flew away and ran away.

Zhang Renjie roared angrily: "These are all wine for the teacher, you bastard!" chased after Chen Zhi, and he kicked the tables and stools on the road or smashed them with one palm, with a desperate intention. Chen Zhi grabbed the cabinet next to him with one hand, and pulled hard, and the entire cabinet fell down, and dozens of jars on it fell down one after another.

Zhang Renjie didn't care about attacking Chen Dao, and hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him, but he only saved a few of the dozens of cans, most of which were shattered on the ground, and he himself was pressed under the cabinet, and the whole room was filled with the smell of wine.

Zhang Renjie's eyes turned from anger to hatred when he looked at Chen Zhi, and he was about to rush out of the cabinet, Chen Zhi grabbed a jar and smashed it in front of him, Zhang Renjie roared angrily, rushed out of the cabinet, and grabbed it before the jar was about to hit the ground. Chen Zhi threw out another jar and smashed it on his head, and his face was full of wine.

Zhang Renjie only felt dizzy, and quickly shook off the wine on his face and got up, but Chen Zhi had already taken a few cans and ran away. Zhang Renjie hurriedly put down the jar in his hand and chased it out.

Chen Zhi had just rushed out of the house, when Chu Zhao rushed over, and he couldn't wait for Chu Zhao to speak, so he hurriedly threw the jar in his left hand back, grabbed Chu Zhao's hand and ran. Chu Zhao saw that his face was anxious and inconvenient to ask more, so he ran away. Zhang Renjie happened to go out, hurriedly took the jar, and roared angrily: "Little thief, you can't run away, suffer death!" When Zhao and the two ran to the wall quickly, Zhang Renjie couldn't see the figures of the two people in front of him clearly, but he could also see that it was the two of them, and he was even more angry in his heart, and said: "It turned out to be premeditated, and someone else responded!" Chen Zhi turned around and threw out another jar, Zhang Renjie carefully caught it, and when he looked up again, the two had already jumped out of the wall. Zhang Renjie shouted loudly: "You can't escape!" chased out.

The people who were eating only felt that they heard a few indistinct roars, and they were all surprised, only to see a servant running and saying: "Just now, Zhang Sanye roared and chased two outsiders, and he has chased him out of the house." Geng Shijie was taken aback, and Xu Guojie hurriedly rushed to his room, and Sima Fang called the Pang gang leader to follow.

The twenty-eight or nine-year-old disciple of Wu Ze stood up and said, "Why don't you all go and see what's going on." Everyone was anxious to see what they wanted, and Yan Xunde said: "Since Xu Rusong said so, then let's go and take a look." And they all answered, and got up and walked. Ma Yibing was in the dark, and when he saw so many people walking out, he was taken aback, and accidentally, he kicked an iron cylinder behind him, although the sound was small, it couldn't escape the ears of these martial arts masters. Yan Xunde said: "I seem to hear a voice in the corner. A few people were about to go to the corner to check, and then Wu Ze's young apprentice said, "Let's go and help the 'Ghost Shadow Three' them, I'll just go and take a look." Only then did everyone turn around and leave, and the young man walked towards the corner where Ma Yibing was hiding.

Ma Yibing saw that there was nowhere to hide, and when the young man walked in and suddenly rushed out and slapped him on the shoulder, the young man easily stretched out his hand, and hit the key points on Ma Yibing's body with a backhand palm, and Ma Yibing froze in place and couldn't move. The young man smiled and said, "This girl, what are you doing sneakily hiding in someone's house, stealing things?" Ma Yibing didn't know what he meant, closed his eyes and ignored it, and the young man said, "Okay, it's me who is unreasonable." Reaching out to untie her acupoint, he said, "Follow me." He left without looking back, Ma Yibing knew that he had no choice, so he had to follow.

When the two arrived at a room, the young man stretched out his hand to push open the door, made a "please" gesture to Ma Yibing, and closed the door after Ma Yibing entered. Ma Yibing looked around vigilantly and said, "What are you doing here?" The young man smiled: "At this time, my senior brother and I are in the house, if you don't come here, I'm afraid you will have been discovered by others long ago." Okay, sit down. So he sat down on the stool. Ma Yibing saw that he didn't seem to have malicious intent, so he also sat down.

The young man smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Zheng Yan, and I am the fourth apprentice of the 'Central Plains Demon Lord' Wu Ze. With that, he stretched out his right hand. Seeing that he was handsome and chic, Ma Yibing hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his right hand and shook him gently, saying, "Ma Yibing." ”

"Oh, Miss Ma, I want to ask you why you secretly came to Sima Mansion?" Ma Yibing looked at his eyes carefully, and saw that his eyes were very clear, not like he had ulterior motives, so he sighed and told everything he had experienced. Zheng Yan said: "It turns out that Miss Ma is here to find someone from the Divine Hammer Gang to help you rescue your senior brother and other brothers." But Miss Ma, I can remind you that that Yu Qingfeng is not a good person, and he has no ability himself, and it is useless for you to ask him for help. ”

Ma Yibing said: "There is no way, I can only go to other people to help." I'm sure there will always be someone in the world who is willing to help me. Zheng Yan said with a smile: "Miss Ma, you are too naïve, in this troubled world, there are many bad people and few good people, I am afraid that they promised to help you just thinking about how to use you in the future, rather than really wanting to help you." ”

Ma Yibing asked eagerly: "What should I do then?" Zheng Yan said: "It's really not good, I'll go talk to my senior brother, let's help you." Ma Yibing said happily: "Really? Thank you, Brother Zheng." Zheng Yan said: "Don't worry, we are the apprentices of the 'Central Plains Demon Lord' Wu Ze, and we will definitely try our best to help you." Let's go, you go back to the inn first, and I'll come to you tomorrow. Ma Yibing told Zheng Yan the name and location of the inn, and left Sima Mansion smoothly under Zheng Yan's guidance.

Chen Zhi pulled Chu Zhao all the way to run wildly, Zhang Renjie behind him chased closer and closer, and shouted fiercely: "Little thief, you are doomed! Zhang Renjie lightly caught the jar, gently put it on the ground, and looked up again, but the two of them left themselves far behind, and couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly chased after them with light skills.

"Breaking the Sky and Floating Clouds" is a top-level light skill, but Chen Zhi has not been able to exert its full power, Zhang Renjie's light skill is also close to the top, the two sides have been running wildly for several miles, and the gap has not narrowed, but Chen Zhi's internal strength is weak, and he has to take Chu Zhao with him, and after a while, he is already a little powerless. Chu Zhao saw that he was starting to pant and his speed gradually slowed down, and said, "Uncle Zhi, brother, you go first, I'll block him." Chen Zhi said: "How can this work? He is already crazy, he will kill you." Chu Zhao smiled: "Don't worry, he can't hurt me, you go back to the inn first, and I'll be there in a while." Chen Zhi said: "Okay, you be careful." He carefully put Chu Zhao down and ran wildly.

Chu Zhao took out a few rubbed mud balls from his arms, crushed them with internal force, and threw them towards Zhang Renjie, Zhang Renjie didn't care what they were, and smashed those mud balls with both palms. Suddenly, countless mud and dust shrouded him, making his vision blur for a while, Chu Zhao took the opportunity to step out, condensed his internal strength and slapped him on the chest with a palm. Both of them shook at the same time, and both of them were shaken apart.

Zhang Renjie wiped off the mud and dust in front of him, his eyes were uncertain, and asked, "Who taught you this internal strength?" Chu Zhao originally wanted to use his top internal strength to hurt him and then get out, but who knew that the internal strength of the two seemed to be quite similar, and most of her palm power was absorbed by Zhang Renjie's internal strength. Chu Zhao himself was also very surprised, and he couldn't answer for a while.

Zhang Renjie said: "My master is the 'Jiangnan God of War' Chu Xun, who taught your internal strength?" Chu Zhao calmed down, listened to his words, was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Who will use 'Mountain Xiaogong' in this world, do you want me to tell you?" Zhang Renjie nodded and said, "Okay, then you are my master's apprentice?" Chu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I am Chu Xun's little apprentice." Zhang Renjie thought that it was impossible for this 'Shanxiao Gong' to be fake, and it was impossible for Chu Xun to casually pass on this housekeeping skill to outsiders, so he had no doubts in his heart, and nodded: "Okay, little junior sister, since you are from the same school, you should naturally work together, you hurry up and chase the thief with me." ”

Chu Zhao shook his head and said, "No." Zhang Renjie asked, "Why not?" Chu Zhao said: "You first tell me why you have to arrest that person." Zhang Renjie said viciously: "That thief has smashed a lot of the good wine we worked so hard to prepare for our teacher, how can I let him go?" Chu Zhao knew that Chu Xun liked to drink very much, and his heart suddenly brightened, and said: "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other, Master and his old man are not so interested in drinking now, but they miss the three of you a lot." ”

Zhang Renjie was overjoyed in his heart, and suddenly shook his head and said: "No, the three of us are sorry for Master and him, we don't have the face to see him until we die, we just want to be able to ask someone to offer these good wines to him one day, we don't dare to ask for this kind of thing when we meet." Chu Zhao didn't know what he was saying 'I'm sorry', so he had to say: "Okay, senior brother, to tell you the truth, that person just now was my friend, if you can let him go, I will definitely say good words to you in front of the master, and also help you offer your good wine." ”

Zhang Renjie listened, thought for a while, and said: "Little junior sister, we don't ask for forgiveness from the master, and you don't know the importance and value of these wines, your friend really doesn't know how to lift up." For your sake, I'll let him go today, and I'll chase him again tomorrow, if he can escape from my pursuit, it's his fate, but you can't help him then. ”

Chu Zhao knew that there was no other choice, so he had to say, "Okay, senior brother, I promise you, but you are only allowed to come alone." Zhang Renjie agreed, turned around and prepared to leave, and said before leaving: "Little junior sister, you are so self-conscious, say hello to the master for us." And he flew away. Chu Zhao hurried back to the inn.

Chen Zhi saw Chu Zhao come back unscathed, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Xiao Zhao, he didn't hurt you, right?" Chu Zhao said hurriedly: "Uncle to brother, he said that he let you go today, and he will chase you desperately tomorrow, you better run quickly, and go back to Senior Mu first." Chen Zhi said: "No, we promised Miss Ma to find the people of the Divine Hammer Gang before leaving, how can we leave like this?" Chu Zhao said: "Uncle Zhi, brother Zhi, you go first, I will stay and continue to help Sister Ma. Chen Zhi was still unwilling, and said: "Xiao Zhao, faith is sometimes more important than life in my heart, and I can't just leave you behind this time." Chu Zhao said angrily: "You don't care about yourself so much, I ignore you!" Saying that, he turned around and ignored him, Chen Zhi hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Xiao Zhao, I don't have ······" Chu Zhao turned his head and said, "Either ignore me forever, or leave quickly." Chen couldn't, so he had to say, "Okay, I'll go, I'll leave now." ”

Chu Zhao wanted Chen Zhi to ride the Tai Dark Cloud to leave quickly, but Chen Zhi said, "You can ride the Tai Dark Cloud to come back faster." I'll leave now, and they don't know where I'm going, and no matter how much they chase me, they can't catch up with me. Besides, I still have the 'Breaking the Sky and Floating Clouds' Protector, and I will never be caught up halfway. Chu Zhao had no choice but to agree, so he led the black horse to send Chen Zhi out of the door, and said, "Uncle Zhi, brother, you ride a horse and go directly back to Senior Mu, don't let them catch up." Sister Ma and I will be back in three days, so you can wait for our good news. Chen Zhi nodded and said, "You have to be careful." Then he reluctantly beat the horse and left.

Chu Zhao returned to the room, and soon Ma Yibing also rushed back, and the two told each other what had happened. Listening to Ma Yibing's words, Chu Zhao couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister, you believe that Zheng Yan so much, how can you be sure that he is not lying to you?" Ma Yibing looked serious and said, "I carefully observed his eyes, and his eyes transmitted a message of integrity, so I am sure that he will not deceive me." ”

Chu Zhao had no choice but to say: "Okay sister, since you have decided to believe him, then our mission this time will be completed, I think, I will leave to go back tomorrow morning, and you will bring them over after you see them." Ma Yibing also felt that it was better for Chu Zhao and them not to meet first, so he agreed.

After some chaos, Sima Mansion finally returned to normal under the command of Sima Fang. Zhang Renjie described Chen Zhi's figure and appearance to everyone, and also said that Chen Zhi said that taking away the "National Salvation Policy" was to return the thing to its original owner. After the others got what they wanted, they all went back to their rooms satisfied. Geng Shijie and Xu Guojie, who were almost crazy, only agreed not to look for Chen Zhi immediately after being appeased by Zhang Renjie, and Sima Fang did not order the search for Chen Zhi under the persuasion of the three of them in order to retrieve the "National Salvation Policy". Geng Shijie and the three of them cleaned up the room all night.

Zhang Renjie said to Geng Shijie and Xu Guojie: "Big brother, second brother, I'll go alone tomorrow, you guys should rest here." Geng Shijie said angrily: "No! Third brother, that little thief is too deceitful, I must personally break his body into ten thousand pieces!" Xu Guojie said: "Big brother, the third brother has an agreement with our little sister to let him go alone." If we break our promise, the little junior sister will definitely speak ill of us in front of the Master, and then the rest of our wine will be even more wasted. ”

When Geng Shijie heard this, he had no choice but to say, "Okay, third brother, you must kill that thief and bring his head back." Zhang Renjie nodded.

On the other side, Zheng Yan was discussing tomorrow's matters with his second senior brother Xu Rusong and third senior brother Han Lian in the room.

Xu Rusong listened to Zheng Yan's words and said, "Listen to the words of the fourth junior brother, do you really plan to help the horse girl?" Zheng Yan replied: "Yes, everyone is a person from the rivers and lakes, since they are in trouble, then I should go and help." Xu Rusong nodded and said, "Mr. Sima shouldn't have anything to do at the moment, if you want to go, then go, just make some friends, but pay attention to safety, those bandits are not fuel-efficient lamps." Han Lian said, "Second Senior Brother, I want to help Fourth Senior Brother." "Oh?" Xu Rusongqi said, "What do you think?" Han Lian said unhurriedly: "The kid who stole the book is with the girl who stole the horse, this Sima Fang values the "National Salvation Policy" very much, I heard him say that the value of this "National Salvation Policy" is very high, and now this "National Salvation Policy" is in Chen ······ Ah, the kid who stole things, I went with the fourth junior brother this time, first helped Miss Ma save people, and by the way, I took this "National Salvation Policy" from that kid. ”

Xu Rusong asked, "Do you want to ask Mr. Sima for credit after snatching it?" Han Lian smiled and shook his head. Xu Rusongqi said: "If not, do you plan to give it to Master?" But Master, he is just obsessed with martial arts, and he is not interested in the art of war at all. ”

Han Lian said: "Of course it's not for the master, it's a waste to give it to the master." Do you remember where I came from?"

Xu Rusong was still confused, but Zheng Yan suddenly understood, and said: "Ah, third senior brother, do you want to give it to your brother?" Xu Rusong suddenly realized and said: "Ah yes, you are from Xiliang, and Han Sui, the prince of Xiliang, is your brother, if you give him this book, he will be able to add wings like a tiger." Han Lian smiled: "That's it, it's conducive to my eldest brother to use troops in the Central Plains." ”

Zheng Yan said uneasily: "But isn't it too despicable for us to snatch the book from Mr. Sima's side like this?" Han Lian waved his hand and said, "Hey, fourth junior brother, the book is Chen ······ Ah, what that kid snatched was Sima Mansion's poor precautions, we just snatched it from that kid, it's not despicable or despicable. Zheng Yan was relieved.

Xu Rusong said: "Okay, it's a pity, third junior brother, you just finished your private affairs, and now you have to grab books again, it's really tiring, I feel sorry for you." Han Lian smiled: "In troubled times, I can't help myself." The three of them talked for a while, and then went to sleep.

The next day, Zheng Yan and Han Lian just got up, got on the horse and rushed to Ma Yibing's inn without even eating breakfast. The three of them met and introduced each other, went to have breakfast together, and set off. Chu Zhao watched from the sidelines, and saw that Zheng Yan and Han Lian did not harm Ma Yibing's heart, so he was ready to leave. Suddenly, he saw Zhang Renjie running past him and quickly hid aside. Zhang Renjie stayed near the inn and didn't leave, only to see him sniffing something with his nose, and suddenly he saw Chu Zhao hiding on the side, dismounted and said, "Little junior sister, why don't you leave?"

Chu Zhao didn't answer: "Senior brother, how do you find my friend?" Zhang Renjie said with a smile: "When I was chasing him, I had already stuck Master's special 'Wine Five Scatters' on him, the taste was heavy and peculiar, and it couldn't be dispersed for a month. I think he must have stayed at this inn. When Chu Zhao heard this, his heart gradually became uneasy, and he said in his heart: "Uncle Zhi's brother didn't ride the Tai Dark Cloud, and he was found so easily, which is not a good thing. ”

Chu Zhaogang wanted to say a few more words to him to delay time, but as soon as Zhang Renjie stretched out his hand, he hit her acupoint, threw her on the horse, and said: "Little junior sister, offended, I'm still afraid that you will help that thief, first lock you up where my eldest brother and second brother are, don't worry, they will let you go tomorrow." Although Chu Zhao was anxious, he couldn't move the acupoint, so he could only be at his mercy.

Zhang Renjie put Chu Zhao back into his room and asked her to sit on a stool. Then he rode his horse again to find Chen Dao. Geng Shijie and Xu Guojie watched from the side, Chu Zhao squeezed his eyebrows at Geng Shijie, and looked at him with a pleading face, Geng Shijie couldn't stand it for a long time, so he had to untie her acupoint. But the two of them looked at him in front of him, and Chu Zhao couldn't escape, so he thought about talking to them nonsense in his heart, and then waited for an opportunity to escape.

Before Chu Zhao could speak, Geng Shijie said first: "Little junior sister, what is your name? When was you accepted as an apprentice by the master?" Seeing this, Chu Zhao calculated in his heart and replied casually: "My name is Chu Zhao, three years ago, I met the master by chance, and he said that I had the same surname as him, and it was very fateful, so he wanted to accept me as an apprentice." ”

Geng Shijie and Xu Guojie looked at each other, Xu Guojie said, "Are you sure you're not joking? Master is going to take you as an apprentice just because you have the same surname as him?" Chu Zhao saw that they were suspicious, and hurriedly showed a pitiful look, and said, "Master, that's what he said." ”

When the two of them saw her expression, they couldn't ask anymore, and they thought that Chu Xun really liked to do some unbelievable things before, so they no longer doubted it. Seeing that they believed it, Chu Zhao smiled and said to Geng Shijie: "Senior brother, I heard that Master said that your equestrian skills are very good, right?" Geng Shijie smiled: "I didn't expect Master to tell you this, that's right, my equestrian skills are indeed okay." ”

Chu Zhao also smiled: "But my equestrian skills are also very good, senior brother, why don't we compare them?" Geng Shijie also liked this little junior sister very much, so he said: "It's good, it's good, but it's not too early now······ Chu Zhao said: "It's okay, the later the time, the more the level of technology can be reflected." Geng Shijie couldn't refuse anymore, so he agreed. Chu Zhao said again: "That, senior brother, I want to use my horse to compare with you, but my horse is in the inn, so I want to bring it back first, okay?" Geng Shijie saw him looking at him with longing in his eyes, and he couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to say: "Okay, I'll go with you, and I'll finish the competition outside." Chu Zhao jumped up happily and said, "Senior brother is the best!" Xu Guojie smiled bitterly on the side: "This little junior sister is really restraining the eldest brother." ”

Chu Zhao, Geng Shijie, and Xu Guojie rushed to the inn, Chu Zhao brought Tai Wuyun, Geng Shijie said: "It just so happens that there is no one on this street, let's go to the corner in front of us first." Chu Zhao looked ahead and said, "Okay, just listen to Senior Brother." ”

Under Xu Guojie's order, the two urged the horses to rush out at the same time. Xu Guojie watched from behind, only to feel that Chu Zhao's equestrian skills were ordinary, far less skilled than Geng Shijie, but with the speed of Tai Wuyun, he was still ahead of Geng Shijie. Xu Guojie said in his heart: "The little junior sister's equestrianism is not clever, so why does she still compare equestrianism with the master brother······? He suddenly thought that Chu Zhao might want to take the opportunity to escape, so he hurriedly shouted, "Stop!" Geng Shijie heard him shout and quickly stopped. But Chu Zhao turned a deaf ear and continued to fight the horse, Tai Wuyun neighed, his speed suddenly increased, and he ran away far away.

Xu Guojie hurriedly rushed forward and said, "Senior brother, this little junior sister is really cunning, in order to help that little thief, she did not hesitate to deceive the two of us." Geng Shijie said: "Forget it, anyway, we promised to let her go, and he just left one night early." Besides, her horse is so fast that we can't keep up with it. Xu Guojie said: "Senior brother, you are soft-hearted, and the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass." Geng Shijie just smiled and said nothing.

Chen arrived in a hurry for a few days and finally returned to Longscale Mountain. Mu Kang saw him coming back alone, and said strangely: "Boy, why are you only one person, your daughter-in-law and Miss Ma?" Chen Zhi blushed and told him everything. Mu Kang said angrily: "You kid, do you know how to restrain yourself? Since this "National Salvation Policy" has appeared, why do you rush to snatch it back? Now it's okay, the two girls who hurt you will be postponed. I'm telling you, if they can't find help, I can't guarantee that the bandits won't do anything out of the ordinary. ”

Chen Zhi knew that he had made a big mistake, so he didn't dare to refute it at all, but just let him criticize. Mu Kang said for a while, "This is the end of the matter, we must be ready for the next step. Come with me. ”

The two returned to the wooden house where Mu Kang lived, and Mu Kang said: "If you want to save those people, if there is no help from martial arts masters, it is not impossible for you to solve it yourself." But the approach is very simple. Chen Zhi asked, "What is the method?" Mu Kang said: "It's the same reason as you sneaking into Sima's Mansion and going to that thief's den to be an undercover agent." Chen Zhi said: "Okay, I'm willing to be this undercover agent." Mu Kang shook his head and said: "I see that you kid doesn't have this potential, when you are an undercover agent, you need patience the most, so I will rush at your attitude towards "National Salvation Policy", you go to do this, it is quite dangerous." Chen Zhi said: "I'm not afraid of danger, since I can't invite a martial arts master to harm, then I have to take this responsibility." ”

Hearing this, Mu Kang praised: "The kid is quite sensible, okay, I'll catch a few bandits, and you can put on their clothes and blend in." Chen Zhi said: "That······ Senior, can you teach me to point points first?" Mu Kang looked at him and said, "Okay, teach you points first, and then dive in." Otherwise, you can't even control those ordinary guards. ”

Chen Zhi and Mu Kang have studied for a long time, and they also know a little bit about the point points, so they are anxious to sneak into the bandits. Mu Kang said: "Okay, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to learn this point, and I won't be able to learn it for a while, so let's go and arrest a few of him." ”

The two of them quietly approached the cottage from the back mountain, and easily evaded the guards and went in. Mu Kang found a lone guard, knocked him down with a finger, Chen Zhi changed into his clothes, Mu Kang said: "I'll take this guy away first, you remember, be careful, I will come to the cottage at noon tomorrow to observe, you must not show your feet." I'll go back and pick up the two girls now. ”

Chen Zhi wore the clothes of a thief and blended into the cottage. Knowing that there are Du Shuai, the master of the big village, Fang Zong, the owner of the second village, Yuan Qisan, the owner of the third village, and Pan Dayong, the owner of the fourth village, in this thief's den, now Zhao Zeliang and others are being locked up in the back mountain as coolies to carry grain for them, and thirty or forty people are sent to watch them, and they can't get close to them during the day.

Finally, in the evening, everyone was put in a cell. Chen Zhi saw that there were not many guards in the cell, so he took advantage of the fact that those guards were drinking, quietly approached the door of the cell, and said softly: "Is Zhao Zeliang here?"

A young man stood up abruptly and said, "What are you doing?" Chen Zhi said: "My name is Chen Dao, and I am here to save you." Zhao Zeliang smiled contemptuously: "It's up to you? Seeing that he was unkempt, Chen Zhi obviously did not suffer less, and he didn't take his rudeness to heart, but just said in a low voice: "Everyone has to hold on for a few days, I will continue to go undercover here, and in a few days, Miss Ma will bring someone to rescue you." Everyone didn't have much hope for him, after all, the two sides didn't know each other, so they didn't believe that someone they had never met would come to the rescue, but when they heard that it was Ma Yibing who would bring someone here, they stood up and said, "Really, Yibing will bring reinforcements over?" "Great, Yibing came to save us!"

But the crowd was so loud that it alarmed the guards who were drinking. A person came over and said, "Hey, what's the noise?" and asked Chen Dao: "Hey, what are you doing here?" Chen Zhi hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said, "I'm afraid they want to escape, so I'm here to observe." The man glanced at him, and only felt very angry, but he did not doubt, and said, "Yo, the new arrival? With a wave of his hand, he took Chen Zhi away.

The man led Chen Zhi to the table where a few guards were drinking, and said, "We have a rule here, newcomers can't drink, they can only be responsible for pouring wine, do you understand?" Chen Zhi didn't want to drink, so he hurriedly said, "Understood, understood." So he took the initiative to pour them wine. After a while, a jar of wine was drunk to the bottom, and one said: "Not enough, not enough, go to the cellar and move a few more jars." Chen Zhi didn't know where the cellar was, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear of revealing his feet, so he had to go out first and look for it casually.

After going around for a long time, Chen Zhi only felt that the twists and turns of this cottage were difficult to distinguish, and he saw countless caves, but there were either bandits living in it, or some materials were piled up, or he didn't see the wine. Walking to the end of a place, Chen Zhi saw a very small cave at the entrance, and when he saw that there was no one around, he walked in.

The entrance to the cave was so narrow that only one person could pass through. Chen Zhi was tall and difficult to get in, only to see that the silence was incomparable, there was no light, Chen Zhi walked a few steps, only to feel that he couldn't touch the edge, so he didn't dare to walk anymore, and walked out of the cave by touching the wall all the way.

Chen Zhi had just come out of the cave when he happened to meet an old soldier, and the old soldier said strangely: "This brother, did you enter this cave?" Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Yes." The old soldier pulled him closer and whispered, "Little brother, don't go in again, there are ghosts in here." ”
