Chapter 20: Revenge
On the third day, they came to a small town in Zhangde, and Han Liuyun asked: "Brother Qin, where are we going?" Stay well at the liaison station, why do you want to leave!" Qin Xiaotian smiled bitterly, do you know, Yuan Shikai is still thinking about "West Lake Smoke and Rain", he is a person who will never give up until he achieves his goal, and if we stay in the liaison station, it will bring disadvantages to our revolutionary party, so we go to Zhangde Mansion again.
Qin Xiaotian got off his horse and pulled the reins and walked forward, the town was very depressed and deserted, as if someone had come here to harass it. Han Liuyun's eyes were sharp, and he saw a portrait posted on the wall of the town, and when he stepped forward, it turned out to be a wanted warrant issued by Yuan Shikai: above it was a simulated portrait of his murderer, and the portrait was very unclear and almost unclear. There is also a portrait of a treasure map, on which a man and a woman are depicted, which are himself and Qin Xiaotian. Han Liuyun was taken aback, and said softly: "Brother Qin, what do you think this is?" Qin Xiaotian stepped forward to look at it, smiled disdainfully, and said: "Now Qin Xiaotian is worth a thousand taels of gold, and the treasure map is not worth so much!"
This secluded place is already plastered, not to mention the rest of the place. At this moment, suddenly a group of villagers rushed out from the intersection of the village, and they were holding wooden sticks, iron rods, and the like. Qin Xiaotian's eyes were quick, he grabbed a handful of mud and sand on the ground, wiped it on his face, and pointed at Han Liuyun and said, "It's your turn." She understood in her heart, took out some rouge and slashed it on her face, and the two looked at each other and smiled. A villager stood a few meters away and shouted: "Who are you? Are you here to arrest us!" The villagers behind him were holding the murder weapon in their hands and staring at them with horizontal eyebrows, Qin Xiaotian stepped forward with a smile, hugged his fists and said: "This master, we are passers-by, passing through the treasure land, please raise your noble hands!"
"Where are you from, and where are you going?" asked the villager.
Qin Xiaotian smiled and said: "We are all over the world and have no fixed place to live. A villager shouted: "Don't talk nonsense with them, they must be spies sent by the imperial court!" Han Liuyun stepped forward and said, "Why is this master so unreasonable? Do you think we look like spies of the imperial court?" "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! To tell the truth, we came from the countryside to seek refuge with a relative, but the relatives and their families were all taken away by the government, and now we are only living on the streets."
The villagers looked at Qin Xiaotian and Han Liuyun again, seeing that they didn't look like bad guys, one pointed to the person on the portrait, and reminded: "Now that the government is arresting these two, you should be careful." ”
After that, the villagers retreated one after another, and they all closed their doors tightly to prevent thieves from entering. Qin Xiaotian shook his head helplessly, you have seen it, the villagers here are frightened by the government, so we are spies. Brother Qin, it seems that we have to sleep on the streets tonight, and the villagers here are hiding when they see us, as if they are avoiding the plague. Qin Xiaotian smiled, had to lead the horse aimlessly forward, about another hour, the sky was dark, the two were a little hungry, Qin Xiaotian led the horse under a big tree, and saw that there was a grass hut not far in front, the grass house was lit up, Qin Xiaotian said to Han Liuyun: "Liuyun, you stay here first, how about I borrow a place to rest?" You go to this person's house to find some food to satisfy your hunger, and you are dying of hunger. Qin Xiaotian walked towards the grass hut, stepped forward and knocked on the door, and said, "Is anyone at home?" After a long time, an old voice asked, "Who is it?" He still sat motionless for a long time, and then slowly turned around, stared at blood-red eyes and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here late at night?" Qin Xiaotian reluctantly smiled and said: "In Xia Qin Xiaotian, passing by the treasure land, please ask the old man to pass by!"
The old man sneered and said, "Your Excellency is Qin Xiaotian? ”
"The seniors have won the prize. Qin Xiaotian asked.
Now Yuan Shikai wants you everywhere, but you have escaped here, you are really bold enough, and you are admired. Uncle, how do you know? Then, the old man laughed and said, "You attempted to assassinate Yuan Shikai, but is there such a thing?" I was about to look for you, but you sent me to the door, God helped me. As he spoke, the old man jumped up like a whirlwind and slapped his palm towards the door of Qin Xiaotian. Qin Xiao **** jumped out a few steps and said loudly: "Seniors may wish to report their names, you and I have no grievances, why do you want to poison me?"
At this time, his palms had already been patted, Qin Xiaotian's legs kicked, the internal force of the whole body surged like an air current, and his palms had already caught the old man's palms, only to hear a loud noise, the old man took a few steps back, stood firm, and said: "I can't imagine that your kid's internal strength is so profound, who is your master?"
Qin Xiaotian said indifferently: "My master is Master Xuanzhi of Shaolin Temple, how's that?" The old man looked at him with contempt, "It turns out that you are his closed disciple, but it's a pity that he was my defeated commander back then!"
The old man saw that Qin Xiaotian blocked his palms back, he was extremely dissatisfied, and danced a routine, Qin Xiaotian couldn't see what kind of kung fu he was, and thought to himself: "This person's kung fu is weird, you have to be careful!" I saw that his figure turned, and his palms had been changed to claws, and he grabbed Qin Xiaotian. Qin Xiaotian saw the whirring sound of the coming, and before he could see it clearly, his shoulders had been scratched in a few places, and blood was gushing out. Qin Xiaotian's hands shrunk, and he felt a burst of pain, and when he looked at it, his left arm was cut a few times, it turned out that his ten fingers were equipped with ten daggers about a few inches long, and this kind of dagger was pressed with a button, and it was easy for the other party to notice.
Seeing that Qin Xiaotian couldn't dismantle his tricks, the old man jumped out of the circle and sneered a few times: "Qin Xiaotian, I have been stabbed in several places today, and you can't do anything!"
Qin Xiaotian hurried for a day, his stomach was hungry, and due to the consumption of internal strength, he suffered several injuries on his body, and he didn't dare to fight again.
Then he snatched the door and went out.
The old man shouted, "Do you want to run!" and he sprang to his feet and chased after him. Qin Xiaotian fled under the big tree, and hurriedly said to Han Liuyun: "Liuyun, hurry up and get on the horse!" There is an ambush here, and someone is chasing after it. The two jumped on their horses and galloped out. The old man chased him out, Qin Xiaotian had escaped hundreds of meters, and he knew that he couldn't catch up, so he shook his hand and scolded: "Damn, the fat in the mouth has been lost!"
The two of them beat their horses and ran for several miles, before they dared to stop, and by the faint moonlight, they could not distinguish the southeast and northwest, so they had to walk on the reins. Han Liuyun asked, "Brother Qin, who is that person, why is he so vicious!" Needless to say, they are killers sent by Yuan Shikai for "West Lake Smoke and Rain". In this way, we are in a very dangerous situation, and there are Yuan Shikai's minions everywhere.
Before dawn, Qin Xiaotian's wound was faintly painful, and he was even more hungry in his heart, they hadn't eaten for a whole day and night, Han Liuyun gave him the only dry food and water on his body, "Brother Qin, you are injured, eat quickly!" Qin Xiaotian trembled his hands, "I'm not hungry, you better eat." "When you're full, you're in a hurry?
Han Liuyun shook his head, Brother Qin, you still eat, I'm really not hungry. Qin Xiaotian looked at her eatingly, and tears couldn't help but fall. He stepped forward and hugged her tightly in his arms, and said in a low voice, "Liuyun, you have suffered with me, do you regret it?"
"No, I don't regret it, as long as I stay by Brother Qin's side, I will never regret it!" In this world, you are my only relative, as long as we live happily, this is the greatest happiness in our lives. Brother Qin, can you promise me one thing?
"Let's be blunt. "Qin Xiao Tiandao.
When we kill the dog official of the Zhangdeluo prefect, we will retire to the rivers and lakes and don't ask about the world, okay?
He thought for a long time and said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely promise you." "I once promised you that I would avenge your dead parents and kill the prefect of Zhangde with my own hands. This time we go to Zhangde, we will definitely be more auspicious. I hope that we will turn evil into good fortune and end this wish as soon as possible.
The sky was slightly bright, Qin Xiaotian and Hallyu Yun walked slowly along the mountain road, and at the bottom of the mountain was the avenue that could not be seen at a glance, and the avenue led directly to Zhangde Mansion.
The two were about to go down the mountain, and suddenly saw dozens of Qing soldiers rushing out from behind, and when they got closer, Qin Xiaotian found that it was the old man who had arrived. It turned out that since Qin Xiaotian escaped, which guy led dozens of Qing soldiers to chase along the avenue, preparing to intercept and kill Qin Xiaotian along the way. But Qin Xiaotian didn't know the way, so they walked along the mountain road and avoided this catastrophe.
When the Qing soldiers walked away, Qin Xiaotian and Han Liuyun went straight to Zhangde along the avenue.
They came to the outside of Zhangde City, and saw that there were many officers and soldiers checking the passers-by, so they fostered the horses in a peasant family outside the city, and the peasant family was very enthusiastic and warmly entertained the two, Qin Xiaotian was not humble, and after eating, the two rested at the farmer's house, intending to enter Zhangde City again after dark.
At noon, I suddenly heard a commotion in front of the farmer's house, and a group of Qing soldiers broke in viciously, and asked loudly: "Have you found a man and a woman on the image?" The man was stunned for a moment, and said with a smiling face: "My lord, I am a good citizen, and I have not entered the city, how can I see it?" The Qing soldiers who took the lead snorted, whenever you see a man and a woman, you have to report to the government, and we adults will be rewarded! Otherwise, we will arrest you one by one, understand?
"Yes, my lord, you have a reward!" said the farmer, bowing his head.
The soldiers searched the house, found nothing, and left. When they walked away, the peasant ran into the house to take a look, but they didn't find Qin Xiaotian and Han Liuyun, and they were shocked, "Why was it still there just now, but it slipped away all of a sudden." ”
At this time, I saw Qin Xiaotian jumping off the roof of the house with Han Liuyun in his arms, and the farmer took a few steps back and said, "I didn't expect you to be young, but you are extraordinary." "These dog officials come to harass the villagers outside the city every day, making the chickens and dogs restless, and in the past, the Qing Dynasty is afraid that it will be ruined.
Qin Xiaotian stepped forward to clench his fists and said, "Thank you for your generosity, I am grateful!" "Young man, you are outsiders, now that the government is arresting people everywhere, it is better to go less in the city." Yuan Shikai's dog thief is not small, he has great power, and he is afraid that he will rebel.
"Uncle, how do you know?" asked Qin Xiaotian. Alas, who in the world doesn't know about him Yuan Shikai? Not long ago, he was assassinated by a chivalrous man, but that old thief has a big life, why didn't God keep his eyes long, and let him stay in this world.
When night fell, Zhangde Mansion was brightly lit, Qin Xiaotian changed into night clothes and quietly slipped into Zhangde Mansion.
Qin Xiaotian jumped into Zhangde Mansion along the back door, jumped down gently, and was about to step forward, when a big dog barked a few times in the darkness and pounced towards Qin Xiaotian. Qin Xiaotian made a move to "hang the golden hook upside down" with his feet on the pillar of the roof, and the big dog barked under the roof and did not leave, and the barking alarmed the Luo prefect in the house.
It turned out that he was drinking with Li Xiong and Li Xiong's master, and he shouted: "Go out and see, why does my big dog bark so much?" Several Qing soldiers guarding the door went out in response, came to the compound, and roared angrily: "You livestock, what are you shouting about? If you shout again, Lao Tzu will beat you to death with a stick." The big dog was quite spiritual, and when he saw that someone was scolding him, he wagged his tail and ran away.
The soldiers entered the house and reported, "My lord, it is the big dog that is shouting, I am afraid that it wants to eat the moon." Luo Zhifu looked out of the house, slapped the soldier in the face, and scolded: "You are blind to me, where is the moon in the sky tonight!" The soldier covered his face and retreated, and the old man raised his glass and said: "Lord Luo, don't be angry, now that we have laid a net of heaven and earth, I am afraid that Qin Xiaotian will not dare to come!" We are intercepting and killing him everywhere, he is afraid that he is hiding, as long as I get their "West Lake Smoke and Rain Map", you can hand it over to Master Yuan, how about Master Yuan at least reward you as an official of the Nine Gates?
Luo Zhifu pursed his lips and laughed: "That's great, I hope that Fei Daxia will help!" It turned out that Li Xiong's master was called Fei Qing, and he was a martial arts master who had retired to the rivers and lakes for several years. This time out of the mountain, it was also Li Xiong's repeated request, he was to help his apprentice complete this wish, so he reappeared in the rivers and lakes again.
At this time, Qin Xiaotian was hiding behind a pillar, he heard it really, and secretly thought: "Okay, these dog thieves are all here, and the opportunity for revenge has finally come." Another hour passed, Luo Zhifu and Fei Qing and others were drunk, Luo Zhifu struggled to stand up, and said drunkly: "Fei Daxia, wait a minute, I'll go out and come for a while." Fei Qing glared and said to the soldiers at the door: "It's not convenient for Lord Luo to go out." The soldier stepped forward to help, and Luo Zhifu shook his hand and scolded: "Idiot, Lao Tzu is not drunk yet, get away from me!" The soldier retreated, and Luo Zhifu staggered out of the door, singing songs and going to the toilet.
Qin Xiaotian saw that the time was ripe, followed along the wall, and saw that Luo Zhifu entered the latrine crookedly, Qin Xiaotian jumped down, without making any sound, and quietly followed in. Qin Xiaotian entered with a sword, Luo Zhifu was about to untie the belt, only to realize that there was someone behind him, at this moment, the wine had woken up for the most part, and when he hurriedly turned around, Qin Xiaotian's sword had pierced into his heart, Luo Zhifu didn't have time to scream, so he fell in a pool of blood, Qin Xiaotian made up another sword, ending his dog's life.
Qin Xiaotian rushed out and shouted in the compound: "Someone is coming, there are assassins!" Fei Qing and Li Xiong and others rushed out and scolded: "Where are the assassins?" Qin Xiaotian raised his hand, a flying knife went straight to Fei Qing's throat, the flying knife was as fast as lightning, Fei Qing was drunk, he couldn't tell what was flying, his movements were slow, he only heard an ouch, and the flying knife had pierced his right eye. At this time, he couldn't care about Li Xiong and the others, and hurriedly jumped on the roof and fled south.
Li Xiong saw that his master was plotted by someone, and he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he had already woken up, and his whole body trembled and shouted: "Who are you? Dare to attack Zhangde Mansion at night!" Qin Xiaotian sneered, "I am the person you are looking for, you can open your dog eyes and see clearly!"
"I have no grievances with you, please leave me alive!" Li Xiong pleaded.
Qin Xiaotian stepped forward and pointed his sword at Li Xiong, "Don't you want my "West Lake Smoke and Rain Map"? I can give it to you, but you ・・・・・・ it."
Qin Daxia, I don't want your treasure map, we were also coerced by Luo Zhifu, so we treated you like this out of helplessness. Your Luo Governor's Mansion has been killed by me, you go to the Netherworld Mansion to find him. Qin Xiaotian took advantage of the situation, took off Li Xiong's head with a sword, and threw it up, frightening the Qing soldiers to scatter their souls, and they each escaped.
It was already dawn, Qin Xiaotian returned to the farmer's house outside the city, Han Liuyun was anxiously looking forward to Qin Xiaotian's return, seeing Qin Xiaotian returning safely, he was ecstatic and said: "Brother Qin, I'm afraid I won't see you in this life, where have you been?" Qin Xiaotian raised his head, held her slender hand tightly, and said, "Liuyun, I have avenged your dead parents." At this moment, Han Liuyun burst into tears, knelt on the ground and bowed to the west: "May my parents know that Brother Qin has avenged you!"
The early winter sun was very gentle, the red glow reflected her red smiling face, the afterglow of the sun embedded a layer of bright light on the earth, Qin Xiaotian led his thin horse, and embarked on a new journey with Hallyu Cloud・・・・・・
