Chapter 20 A chance encounter at the Jingye store

"Brother Mao, Xiaobao, what are the next plans for the two of you?"

"Xiaobao, now I am not in any danger, you better go back to Yangzhou City first, so as not to worry your mother. Mao 18 didn't answer directly, first said to Wei Xiaobao, and then replied: "Engong, this time I committed a big incident around Yangzhou, the government arrested, the wind is very tight, but I am ready to avoid the limelight first, so as not to teach the Tartar to lock it again, as for the whereabouts, first go to the capital to walk around, I heard that Ao Bai is the first warrior in Manchuria, strong in martial arts, can kill the mad cow with one punch, I want to compare with him, see what means this Manchurian warrior has." ”

Mao Eighteen spoke in an impassioned tone, waving his arms, as if he was about to fight with Na Ao Bai for three hundred rounds.

"What? Eighteen brothers, when you get here, you still ask me to go back to Yangzhou, no, no, no, you go to Beijing to find a martial arts competition, and I want to go with you to see the excitement. Wei Xiaobao immediately exploded, his youthful temperament, he saw a fight on the rivers and lakes in just one day, and he was excited, he only felt that these days were called a pleasant, but it was much more interesting than he watched those gangsters fight on the streets of Yangzhou on weekdays, where he was willing to go back, he shouted directly, and wanted to go to Beijing with Mao Shiba.

"No, no, no, how can you go to the capital with me, or go back to Yangzhou, this trip is far away, maybe there is any danger, I will never take you there." Mao Shibai refused, he went to Beijing this time, one is to avoid the limelight, and the other is to compete with that Aobai, how could such a big event bring such a drag bottle as Wei Xiaobao.

"Hmph, eighteen brothers, I think you are afraid, I heard that the Ao worship is very tight, tearing the tiger is idle, in my opinion you are definitely not his opponent, now you drive me back to Yangzhou must be afraid that I will see you being knocked to the ground embarrassed, by the way, the Taoist chief, you give me a comment, is the eighteenth brother afraid of losing to Aobai, let me, an acquaintance, see, he will never be able to raise his head in the future, so he will not take me to Beijing. ”

Wei Xiaobao is such a slippery person, when he sees such a good thing as going to Beijing, his heart is moved, and now Mao Eighteen doesn't even take him with him, how can this be, everything has to be followed, and the stalking must be done, so he directly pulled Gui Zhong who was watching the two of them laughing on the side, he knew that this Taiyuan Dao Chief was Mao Eighteen's life-saving benefactor, he said one sentence is much more useful than he said ten words, how could this big helper not pull in, while talking and squeezing his eyebrows at Gui Zhong, that was really a little joyful, so that Gui Zhong couldn't help laughing。

"Okay, since Brother Mao is going to the capital, then let's go along with the poor road, let's go together, as for Brother Xiaobao" said that Gui Zhong's tone became more and more slow, making Wei Xiaobao anxious for a while, scratching his ears and cheeks, looking like he was on fire, seeing him like this, Gui Zhong continued: "Brother Xiaobao, I think you can also go with us, Yangzhou City is absolutely impossible to go back, yesterday many people saw the two of you out of Mingyufang together, as soon as he went back, he just let the government catch it, this matter must be investigated." ”

Gui Zhong's words made Mao Eighteen Huo Ran shocked, "Yes, I almost forgot about this matter, Xiaobao really can't go back, I am now being arrested by the government, and yesterday I went up to Victory Mountain with him, this time he will go back to be bad, fortunately, there is a reminder from the father, otherwise Xiaobao let me rush back, it will be terrible." ”

"Haha, I'll just say, eighteen brothers, our good brothers are angry, how can you leave me alone, go to the capital, go to the capital, I haven't been to the capital yet, I heard that the place is more prosperous than Yangzhou." ”

Wei Xiaobao saw that the matter of going to the capital was decided, and he jumped up happily and cheered loudly.

"Engong is also going to the capital? That's great, let's set off." Mao Shiba's heart was happy, but because of Gui Zhong went to Beijing together, not to mention anything else, the security was naturally greatly enhanced, and he was a little relieved to have such a big master by his side.

The three of them rode north, three or five days later, Mao Eighteen's injuries were almost good, this is also Mao Eighteen's injuries are mostly flesh wounds, it is naturally not difficult to recover with his physique, if he suffers internal injuries, it is called trouble.

"Eighteen brothers, Dao Chang, this time I went to Beijing, can you help me rescue Shuang'er? I heard that the Zhuang family is going to be beheaded, the hateful Aobai, the spicy mother's mother actually can't bear to kill my good Shuang'er, don't you know, Shuang'er is gentle and kind, the best for me, we grew up together, and now he is going to die!"

The three of them rode healthy horses on the official road, and Wei Xiaobao's excitement along the way suddenly dripped down.

"Is the Ming history case of the Zhuang family?" Gui Zhong nodded, he still knew about this matter, it was a literary prison with great influence in the early Qing Dynasty, because of the use of some era names in a book of "Ming History" was tightly grasped by the Qing court, and finally the men of the Zhuang family were sentenced to death, and the female dependents were assigned to the armor people as slaves, and this matter was led by the Qing court's auxiliary minister Ao Bai.

"Hmph, the Manchurian Tartars are very hateful, I have heard a lot about the affairs of the Zhuang family, it is said that the whole family was killed because of a book, how ruthless this is, the Tartars deceived me Han too much! Xiaobao, don't worry, if you have the opportunity, I will definitely rescue her. ”

Mao Shibai was furious, he had heard of this matter for a long time, but he didn't expect that it was also related to Wei Xiaobao, which made him more and more angry in his heart.

"This matter is considered in the long run, not reckless, the Manchurians entered the customs not long ago, the elite soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners, it is not so easy to rescue people, maybe the Qing court will lay some traps to hunt and kill the righteous people in the rivers and lakes, when the time comes, I will wait for the opportunity to act, and your pair is a maid of the banker, and will not be sentenced to death, but distributed outside the customs, when the time comes, we will find an opportunity to rob the prisoner directly halfway, so maybe it will be easier." Gui Zhong glanced at Mao 18 and Wei Xiaobao, and said solemnly. He is not without a target, in the original book, although the female dependents of those dealers have suffered a lot, but the final outcome is okay, he was rescued halfway and taught martial arts, and the person who saved people has a little relationship with him returning to Zhong, and he is also a member of his Huashan faction, this time he went to the capital, and he wanted to meet him if he had the opportunity.

"Engong is right, over the years, the Qing court has been brutal and slaughtered many Han people, such as the Zhuang family, this is not a time or two, not to mention that this time it is the mastermind of Ao Bai behind the scenes, it is not to be careless, we will see the situation when the time comes. ”

Although Mao Shibai has a rude and heroic temperament, he is not a fool, and he also knows the kung fu in his hands, whether it is rushing into the prison of the Criminal Department to save people or robbing the law field, he is not able to catch it, and if he is not good, he will even fall into it, so he naturally can't act recklessly.

"Yes, yes, we have to think of some way, we can't lose money and trap ourselves, that would be very bad. Wei Xiaobao is clever and cunning, and he understands the truth when he thinks about it.

While talking, several people saw a tea shop on the side of the road, it was just noon, stopped to rest, eat and drink, and the three of them found a table and sat down.

Gui Zhong looked at the surrounding situation, at this time there were already several tables of guests in this tea shop, one of which caught his attention, two young men with clear eyebrows were sitting, looking older and younger, "Hey? Such a coincidence, these two women are disguised as men, they should be the two of Mu Wangfu, Mu Jianping and Fang Yi? I didn't expect that with my intervention, this Mao 18 and Wei Xiaobao can still meet them on the road, the inertia of the original book is really strong, is there really a providence in the underworld?" As soon as his mind moved, Gui Zhong thought again and again, looking up at the sky in a daze, countless thoughts appeared in his mind, heavenly will, cause and effect, heavenly way, all kinds of mysterious and ethereal things appeared.

Boom! A noisy commotion woke Wang Gan from his contemplation, and he saw that the surroundings had been beaten up at some point, and there was a Qing soldier holding a steel knife, rushing to his table, and slashing it with a knife, the target was Gui Zhong himself, and his brows were furrowed, "I don't know whether to live or die!" With a cold snort, Gui Zhong's palm turned over, and the steel knife that had bypassed the Qing soldier pinched his wrist, and the internal force was transported, click, this person's wrist bone had been crushed by him, and he howled miserably on the spot, Gui Zhong shook slightly, and when the steel knife fell to the ground, he slapped it out lightly, as if he was slowing down, and suddenly pressed on the person's chest, and in the pop, blood overflowed from his mouth, which was mixed with a lot of internal organ fragments, which looked terrible, and then saw that the Qing soldier had fallen softly to the ground, and he was not alive.

It's not that Gui Zhong is ruthless and wants people's lives at every turn, but he just got a lot of thoughts from this series of encounters, for the Taoist scriptures and meanings, the cause and effect of heaven has triggered thinking, although he can't really understand such a profound truth, but it can also make him gain a lot, which is very beneficial to his cultivation, maybe the cultivation will be one step closer, but he was interrupted by these people's lives, how not to make him angry, and he was ruthless under the anger, and he directly shot a person to death.

There was a crackling battle on the other side, Wei Xiaobao got under a table, this table happened to be the table where the two people from the Mu Wangfu were sitting, and there was a big knife in his hand that cut the legs and feet of a Qing soldier, which made the two also involved in this right and wrong.

Mao Eighteen is wielding a big knife in his hand, the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife is fierce and fierce, and the knife light is carried up, which hurts a few Qing soldiers, and a person wearing an official robe on the other side, who is fat, is now pale and sweaty, obviously frightened by the scene of the fight in front of him.

"Oh no, kill people!" Suddenly a sharp cry sounded, and a Qing soldier was about to kill towards Gui Zhong, but he saw the dead body at his feet, his face was pale, and the blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

The other people who were fighting immediately stopped when they heard the sound, and a pair of frightened eyes fell on Gui Zhong's body, which made him more and more dissatisfied, and snorted violently, like a thunderbolt, these Qing soldiers only felt their brains buzzing, dizzy, and shocked and changed.
