Chapter 1 31 Changping is missing
After Li Wuchang killed the last bandit, he was a little settled in his heart, calculating the time, at this time Lin Qin and Ma Kun should have returned to the main army, after such a long time, Guo Yunlei and Lu Xuandong should have also gone back, they received the news that Lin Qin brought back, and they should send someone to save themselves.
The battlefield must be cleaned quickly and not discovered.
Thinking so, Li Wuchang had no time to rest, and dragged all the corpses of the seven bandits to the edge of the cliff, and then threw them all down.
After finishing the deed of destroying corpses and destroying traces, Li Wuchang began to remove the odor, and the fight just now brought a strong smell of blood to his body.
I found a small puddle, wiped the short knife with mud and sand, and then sprinkled some water on my body, and then used my strength to evaporate all the water, and finally removed the smell of blood on my body.
After doing all this, Li Wuchang began to return the same way, extremely careful along the way, just afraid of encountering bandits again, there are at least a few bandits in that stronghold, and now I don't know if he has come back, in case he encounters it, Li Wuchang will sneak away this time.
Thankfully, there were no bandits along the way.
Li Wuchang returned to the way he came, followed the marks he had made and walked to the periphery of the dense forest, his mood was quite relaxed, the fight just now did not take much effort, and he had a new understanding.
After walking for a while, there was a sound in front of him, Li Wuchang hurriedly flashed to the bushes and squatted down, controlled his breathing, and after seeing the person clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the bushes.
Reinforcements arrived.
Han Dazhi, Lin Zheng, Guo Yunlei, and the remaining two are Lu Xuandong's entourage, this lineup is quite strong, it seems that Lin Qin and Ma Kun are okay now.
"Stunned!" Han Dazhi was extremely happy when he saw Li Wuchang's intact appearance, and almost jumped up.
"Impermanence, it's nice to see you're okay. Guo Yunlei and Lin Zheng were also very happy.
Li Wuchang smiled, said hello, and said, "Why did you come? I almost died just now." ”
Han Dazhi glanced around and asked, "What about the bandits?"
The others also swept around, and then they all stared at Li Wuchang, their eyes suspicious, waiting for him to tell the details.
Li Wuchang coughed dryly and said, "The seven bandits chased me for a long time, and I really couldn't run, but fortunately, I brought enough silver tickets, and I took them all out to get back a small life." ”
Han Dazhiqi said: "That's it?"
Li Wuchang spread his hands and said: "Big brother, they are bandits, they came out to do those knife licking blood business originally to seek money, as far as I know, they grabbed Miss Lin and Ma Kun also to find an opportunity to exchange money, I directly took out more than 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and their eyes were green." ”
After a pause, he continued: "They still wanted to kill me after taking the silver ticket, so I took the opportunity to tell him that my father was the commander of the Praetorian Guard, so they hesitated, and the leader thought about it for a while and let me go." ”
Lin Zheng didn't doubt him, and said fiercely: "Where did that gang of madmen go?"
Li Wuchang cut his voice and said, "I must have left, are you waiting for you to find their bad luck? I see that those seven people ran away with my more than 10,000 taels, and they didn't even care about their own brothers." ”
Guo Yunlei asked, "Do they still have anyone?"
Li Wuchang said: "There should be more, didn't that Liu Jian say, he saw more than a dozen bandits, but I only saw seven, and the others probably went to do other things." ”
Then he muttered: "If you want to find it, go along this road, where there are a few wooden houses, if you go to squat, you should squat to people, but I won't go, now my legs are weak, grandma is a bear, those scum, just now with a knife on my neck, almost scared to pee." ”
There is no way, Li Wuchang can only make up a random reason to mess around, but fortunately, the seven people who have seen him have all been hanged, and now he can say whatever he wants.
Now it's time to wrap up.
More than a dozen bandits encountered Lin Qin and Ma Kun and their gang, and they shot directly, killing their entourage to pieces, leaving only one to go back to report the news, and then everyone organized a rescue.
Li Wuchang was stupid and bold, relying on himself to bring a lot of silver tickets, rushed into the dense forest, secretly let Lin Qin and Ma Kun go, and then led away the bandits himself.
Then Li Wuyong used a silver ticket to bribe the seven bandits who pursued him, and the seven bandits who collected the money ran away directly, and the other bandits did not see any trace for the time being.
That's the whole process, it's relatively smooth.
Han Dazhi didn't think much about it, and said: "It's okay, these bandits are really fucking arrogant, no wonder Xue Shanglin can't handle the assassination of Yongzhou, there are thousands of dead sergeants, but the bandits are becoming more and more rampant, you are lucky this time, and you ran into a few bandits who are greedy for money." ”
Li Wuchang sneered: "It seems that there are bandits who are not greedy for money." ”
Han Dazhi nodded and said, "That's what I said, when that group of bandits saw that you took out so much silver, and heard you say that you were the son of the commander of the Praetorian Guard, they probably didn't dare to do it, for fear of attracting the pursuit of the Commander's Mansion, so they simply took the silver and ran away." ”
Then he said to Lin Zheng and Guo Yunlei: "I said Lin Ershao, Guo Dashao, you don't really want to rush in to catch the bandits, I can tell you two, now our main purpose is to escort the stunned Shao out, don't put the cart before the horse." ”
Only then did Lin Zheng retract the idea of wanting to trouble the bandits, thinking that he would send Li Wuchang out first, and then find His Royal Highness to discuss the suppression of the bandits.
After all, Lin Qin was able to be saved this time because Li Wuchang forgot to die.
"This time it's really thanks to impermanence, my Lin family will be grateful to him in the future!" Lin Zheng bowed to Li Wuchang.
Li Wuchang was startled, waved his hand, and said: "Lin Ershao, don't be polite, Miss Lin is also an old customer of my Dongli Restaurant, this time I will help the old customer...... If you really want to thank me, you can reimburse me for the silver ticket I spent, more than 10,000 taels, I really hurt my flesh. ”
In Li Wuchang's impression, the three brothers and sisters of the Lin family are all very cold images.
Li Wuchang has very little contact with them, and he doesn't really want to have too much contact with them, Lin Qin is better, after all, there are two girlfriends who like to make noise, no matter how cold they are, they have a degree.
And Lin Di and Lin Zheng are usually even when they greet and chat with people, their tones are always light, giving people a feeling that they are not close to each other, and they should all follow their grandfather Lin Yong.
......
Outside the jungle.
When everyone saw Guo Yunlei and Lin Zheng bring Li Wuchang back, they were all happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Of course, Lu Xuanming and Zhang Yanbo were exceptions, lowered their heads, and muttered in a low voice, probably saying that Li Wuchang had gone out of luck.
No matter how ugly others usually have with Li Wuchang or how much they usually look down on Li Wuchang, they are now smiling at Li Wuchang and giving a thumbs up, saying that they are amazing.
Li Wuchang accepted all the compliments and smiled like a fool.
After listening to Li Wuchang's nonsense, although everyone felt a little strange, they believed it when they saw that Li Wuchang was intact, and at the same time scolded the bandits.
Lu Xuandong had palpitations and said: "Originally, this time I was going to rest in the small village at the bottom of the mountain for one night, but now it seems that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so we will go down the mountain and return to the city." ”
To be honest, it was lucky that only a few followers died this time.
The moment he learned that Lin Qin and Ma Kun were captured, Lu Xuandong was very panicked, in case something happened to Lin Qin and Ma Kun, Lu Xuandong would also have to bear a lot of responsibility, maybe it would provoke the hatred of the Lin family and the Ma family, it would be very bad.
Needless to say, the Lin Mansion is powerful, and Lu Xuandong must stabilize the relationship with the Lin Mansion.
Although the power of the Ma family is not as powerful as that of the Lin Mansion, Ma Kun's father Ma Liancheng is the Zhengqing of Taifu Temple, and his position is not low, and he has a certain influence.
When everyone heard that they were going back, they all nodded in agreement.
Only Liu Qizheng and Lin Zheng thought about ending the bandits' lair.
Li Wuchang had to tell them that that place was probably just a temporary stronghold, and now that there was such a big movement, as long as the bandits had a little brain, they should be transferred.
Liu Qizheng and Lin Zheng heard this, so they gave up.
Ma Kun was seriously injured and had not woken up yet, and was now carried by his entourage Liu Jian, and Lin Qin was also unconscious due to excessive fright, carried by her brother Lin Zheng.
When they went down the mountain, Guo Yunling and Lu Ting chattered around Li Wuchang, and the words of praise were endless.
"Miss Guo, you can't call me a coward in the future!" Li Wuchang took the opportunity to make a request.
Guo Yunling gave him a blank look.
Lu Ting glanced at Li Wuchang from time to time, as if she had something on her mind.
Han Dazhi was palpitating and afraid.
......
After returning to Chang'an, when Li Wuchang was about to take a good rest, Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun came to the door, frowning, and took Lu Desheng, who was now helping in the East Fence Restaurant.
When Lu Desheng saw Li Wuchang, he said with a sad face: "Fourth son, please save my cousin!"
Li Wuchang frowned, and secretly said in his heart, didn't Lu Desheng's cousin Zhai Changping go to suppress the bandits? It's only been a few days, has something happened?
Zhao Xun coughed lightly and explained the reason.
It turned out that Zhai Changping was originally arranged to go to Anding County, but he was sent to Shangluo County to suppress bandits, with more than 30 people under his command, just entered the scope of Shangluo County, and encountered a large number of bandits in a mountain forest, more than 30 people fought desperately, and as a result, there were heavy casualties, and the government found more than 40 corpses at the place of the accident, of which more than 20 were their own people, and the others have disappeared so far.
The list of the dead and missing in the new round of the imperial court has come out today, and it is posted all over the city.
Zhai Changping's name is prominently listed, and the accident column indicates that he is missing.
After Lu Desheng saw it, he was half frightened to death, so he could only come to Li Wuchang to call the shots, hoping that Li Wuchang could think of a way.
"My cousin must have fought his way out of the encirclement, but Shangluo County is rampant with bandits, and his current situation must be very dangerous...... Fourth son, please, please help me figure out a way, I am just a relative of my cousin. Lu Desheng was in tears, embarrassed, and almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Although the friendship between Li Wuchang and Zhai Changping and Lu Desheng's brothers is not very deep, they finally got acquainted, and Zhai Changping cooperated with Li Wuchang to perform a scene during the martial arts conference, so that Li Wuchang could pass the test safely.
I didn't expect to be able to fulfill my promise so soon.
People can't stand without faith, and this favor must be helped.
Li Wuchang looked at the poor Lu Desheng, helped him up, and comforted: "Desheng, don't worry, I'll go to find out the news first, and then think of a comprehensive plan after understanding the situation, I promise you that as long as your cousin hasn't had an accident, I will try my best to save him." ”
