More than 1,000 heroes of the rivers and lakes, for the huge capital, are like a stone thrown into the moat, there is not much movement in itself, but the ripples spread to almost every corner, but if you don't continue to throw stones, the ripples will soon disappear.

Cheng Yi finally got rid of the entanglement of the Luo family's swordsmen, and when he led hundreds of factions into the capital, he found that the situation was not what he expected.

Ji Fuwei and Miao Sanwen easily attacked the palace and the Horse Mansion, but no one found the target, the Jianghu people were not good at unified combat, and at this time they were already divided and scattered to the streets and alleys of the capital, blindly looking for the queen mother and princess, and occasionally encountered a small group of officers and soldiers, they went up indiscriminately to fight, forcing the other party to shout: "Long live the emperor, the queen mother and the princess should die." ”

What worries Cheng Yi the most is that the streets are too quiet, except for the Yulin Army in front of the Horse Mansion and the palace guards, there is no large army, this is the scene he promised, but now it makes him uneasy: those ministers who have a wait-and-see attitude have been waiting for too long.

Cheng Yi went to the Horse Mansion first, and the Yulin Army outside heard that the princess was not in the mansion and was retreating, keeping a vigilant distance from the heroes of the rivers and lakes.

Miao Sanwen, the head of the Taishan faction, strode to the door, holding the sword in his right hand, the sword was stained with blood, the whole person was murderous, holding a prisoner in his left hand, and when he saw Cheng Jiuye, he said: "His grandmother's, the princess ran away, and the people in the house refused to reveal their whereabouts, I killed a few and caught one." ”

Miao Sanwen pushed the captive to the ground, Cheng Yi recognized that it was Pang Jing, hurriedly handed over the golden ring machete to the entourage, and personally helped the horse up, "Master Ma forgives the sin, the righteous man of the rivers and lakes was reckless for a while, and there was no malice." ”

Pang Jing trembled and couldn't say a word.

Miao Sanwen is the head of a big faction, and he has always been very measured, but he didn't find the princess, he couldn't help but be anxious, and he didn't respect Cheng Jiuye so much, "Reckless, he is a colt, he must know where his wife has gone, and if he doesn't recruit again, I will stab him with a sword in a transparent hole." ”

Pang Jing had learned some martial arts, and at this time, his whole body was paralyzed like a woman, he firmly grasped Cheng Yi's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know where the princess has gone, she can't tell me, the Luo family...... The Locke family must have known the princess's whereabouts. ”

Locke's village has a close relationship with the princess, and people in the rivers and lakes have heard of it, so Miao San asked: "Cheng Jiuye, didn't the locke swordsman go to your village?"

"After a fight, as soon as they heard that we were going to kill the princess, they immediately withdrew, and now they may be in this mansion. Cheng Yi glanced around, very wary of the Luo family swordsman.

More and more heroes from the rivers and lakes gathered, and there were five or six hundred people when they broke into the house, but now there are less than a hundred, and the others don't know where they have gone, but fortunately, Cheng Yi also brought a group of people, and there are more than two hundred people together.

"Don't scatter anymore. Cheng Yi said loudly, a little anxious in his heart, "The princess has nowhere to go, let's go to the palace, meet with the head of Ji, and find a way together." ”

As long as there is something to do, the heroes of the rivers and lakes are very willing to obey the order, declare their goodness, and march towards the palace in a mighty manner.

Cheng Yi handed over the concubine Pang Jing to Zhuang Ke for "protection", called a person over with a look in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Chen Si, didn't I let you keep monitoring the concubine mansion all the time, where did the princess run?"

Chen Siyuan was a thief of chickens and dogs, and was co-opted by Cheng Jiuye, with a few brothers, who were specifically responsible for monitoring the Horse Mansion, and when he heard Cheng Jiuye's reproach, his face turned red, and he hurriedly defended: "The Horse Mansion is too big, and when the Yulin Army comes, we don't dare to get too close, but there are people watching the front and back doors, and if I don't see the princess, she must have escaped from the secret passage or over the wall." ”

Cheng Yi frowned slightly, didn't say anything more, and thought that he shouldn't have too much hope for these Jianghu people.

A group of people saw the guards in front of the palace gate from a distance, but there was no figure of the heroes of the rivers and lakes around, and they were puzzled, only to see dozens of people coming out of the wall, including Ji Fuwei, Cheng Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly restrained everyone not to approach the palace guards.

Ji Fuwei and the others bypassed the guards and quickly gathered over, but they did not bring good news.

The Queen Mother fled. "Ji Fu is sweating profusely, he has just had a martial arts competition, and he has both hatred and admiration for the old guy of the Kongtong faction in his heart, "Zihe is really guarding in Kunde Palace, we have a competition, he saw that the momentum was not right, and he also ran away." ”

Ji Fuwei deliberately understated, in fact, it was the five heads who competed with Zihe Zhenren, and the battle lasted nearly 100 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat, and it happened that the other head got the news from the east gate, saying that the Queen Mother was likely to have left the palace, and Zihe Zhenren laughed and withdrew, and no one could catch up.

The queen mother and the princess were not killed, Cheng Yi's brows furrowed even tighter, and he was thinking about the next step, when he suddenly heard an exclamation from the back of the team: "There are assassins!"

Cheng Yi and the heads of the houses squeezed through the crowd, only to see a corpse lying on the street, bleeding from the heart, obviously just killed.

Miao San asked and roared, it turned out that this person was the Taishan faction, "Who did it?

Ji Fuwei stepped forward to check for a while, looked up at Cheng Jiuye, and didn't say anything, Miao San asked if he was stupid, took a closer look at the wound, and recognized the technique, "Luojiazhuang, it's the hand of the Luo family's swordsman!

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from above everyone's heads: "Miao San asked, be careful of your mouth, if you have the ability, come over, let's fight alone." ”

"Luo Pingying!" Miao Sanwen jumped up, jumped on the nearby courtyard wall, and hurried towards the place where the sound came from, and the Taishan faction and the gang sect that had befriended them followed, chasing forty or fifty people at once.

"Beware of scheming!" Cheng Yi's reminder was too late, and the sound of weapons intersecting in the distance was endless, and a fight had already started, so he had to lead the others to catch up along the street.

As soon as he ran out, a figure fell from the sky, and fell heavily to the ground in front of everyone, already a corpse, I don't know which sect it came from.

"The Luo family is ruthless, let's not be polite. Someone shouted, and dozens more jumped onto the roof, looking for the Locke swordsman.

In this way, Luojiazhuang changed from a leader to a public enemy.

Miao Sanwen jumped back to the ground with a sword, his face was full of anger, obviously he didn't kill Luo Pingying, he glanced through the crowd, and strode to the cover of the head of the Qingcheng faction, "Tell me where the Luo family's capital mansion is, they killed the Taishan faction, and I will also kill his family's children." ”

"Why are you asking me?" Although he was also in charge, Liang Feng's status and qualifications were much lower, so he couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Isn't your Qingcheng faction the best relationship with Locke's Clan? You must know everything, by the way, why didn't you get mixed up with the Locke swordsman?"

Liang Feng was angry, and said with a red face: "Master Miao, we are in a group, don't spew blood." ”

"What's the matter, I see that you look like an internal annihilation, the princess escaped, maybe it was your leak. ”

Liang Feng was frightened, and couldn't find a word to defend himself for a while, it was more like a ghost in his heart, and Deng Chun of the Qingcheng faction grabbed the front and said loudly: "Will the Taishan faction bully the weak and be afraid of the hard? If you want to say that you have a good relationship with Luojiazhuang, who can compare to Cheng Jiuye? The two families are in-laws." ”

Miao San asked a little dizzy, turned his head to look at Cheng Yi, "That's right, the Luo family obviously went to Chengjiazhuang, how could they return to the capital unscathed?"

Cheng Yi couldn't cry or laugh, "Master Miao, why are you even suspicious of me?" Fortunately, I am not the only one in Chengjiazhuang. ”

Several leaders immediately stepped forward to testify that Cheng Jiuye did fight against the Luo family swordsman with his fellow Jianghu people, but not long after the fight began, the Luo family broke in to report the news, Luo Pingying cared more about the life and death of the princess, so he led people to flee.

Miao Sanwen came to his senses and apologized, "Cheng Jiuye, don't blame, I didn't choose to say anything for a while, the whole thing was facilitated by you, you are everyone's leader, I listen to you." ”

Cheng Yi didn't care, and said loudly: "The swordsmen of the Luo family are protecting the princess, don't chase them anymore, just look for the queen mother and the princess, and avenge the Son of Heaven." ”

"The capital is so big, where can I find it?" Miao San asked, still in a hurry.

Ji Fuwei whispered: "Cheng Jiuye, so far, it is definitely not enough to rely on us alone, which one of us has to come forward." ”

Deng Chun intended to add glory to the Qingcheng faction, and interjected: "That's right, Cheng Jiuye, which ministers in the court support us, let them come out to help, the government is dispatched, it is easy to find someone, and the matter of killing people will be handed over to us." ”

His words received a lot of support, and even Miao Sanwen nodded in agreement, "That's right, everyone is working for the imperial court, and the officials and masters have to do their best." ”

Cheng Yi is actually more anxious than anyone else, the reputation of killing the queen mother and the princess has spread, this matter is not successful, he will bear the brunt of the disaster, "Don't panic, everyone go back to the Horse Mansion first, and try to find back the fellow Jianghu who went away, Ji Zhangmen and Miao Zhangmen will go to the official mansion with me, and I will soon give you an explanation." ”

Everyone had no better way, so they had to turn to the Horse Mansion, and a few heads were not at ease, so they volunteered to go with Cheng Jiuye.

Cheng Yi agreed, and then took his horse Pang Jing, separated from everyone, and rode to King Xiao's mansion.

I heard that King Xiao is the biggest supporter of this matter, all the heads are down-to-earth, Ji Fuwei already knows the inside story, but Miao San has just understood the truth, "I guess it's King Xiao, except for his own uncle, who will avenge the Son of Heaven? This thing is okay, as long as King Xiao comes forward, I am not afraid that those two women will escape to the ends of the earth." ”

Pang Jing was temporarily out of danger, and his heart was a little settled, and he felt contempt for these Jianghu characters, and couldn't help but snort lightly.

Miao San asked and turned his head to glare, "Master Ma, are you not convinced? The princess is your wife, and the queen mother is your sister, you are not a good person." ”

Pang Jing didn't want to speak, but he couldn't help himself, mixed in this group of people, they were in danger, and he couldn't escape, so he said to Cheng Yi: "King Xiao ordered you to gather the rivers and lakes to avenge Your Majesty, do you have a written certificate?"

"What do you mean?" Cheng Yi was puzzled.

"Do you have a piece of paper with King Xiao's mark in your hand?"

"I have been with King Xiao for many years, so I don't need these false courtesies. ”

"We have been dating for many years?" Pang Jing immediately understood, "It's really strange, could it be that King Xiao already knew that His Majesty would be killed, so he booked a revenge plan in advance?"

The seven or eight heads all reined in their horses and looked at Cheng Jiuye.

Cheng Yi opened his mouth and felt that this question was difficult to answer. (To be continued.) )
