Chapter 12: Saving Mother on the Way

It was already dawn, Xuan Zhi saw that the apprentice's wound was still bleeding, cut off a piece of Taoist robe with a sword and bandaged him, Qin Xiaotian asked: "Master, why did you kill that master of the Western Regions?" Xuan Zhi smiled, it was to escape for his life, you didn't kill him, but he wanted to chase and kill us! Xuan Zhi frowned, shook his head, and said: "Amitabha, Poor Dao killed a lot of people last night, sin, sin!" It was all the disciple's recklessness for a while, and he almost affected the master. "It's not your fault, it's because the enemy is too cunning, they have already transferred your master, but your master's life will not be in danger for the time being. Because the dog officials of Zhangde Mansion still don't know the secret of "West Lake Smoke and Rain", they are not fully sure of the authenticity of "West Lake Smoke and Rain", and they will definitely escort her to Beijing and hand her over to Yuan Shikai.

The master and apprentice returned to Shaolin Temple, Han Liuyun saw that Qin Xiaotian was not lightly injured, he was very worried, and served him all day long, Li Lanhui saw his father's sad appearance, and was very disappointed, and stepped forward to comfort: "Father, I have a way to save my mother." ”

At this moment, Xuan Zhi saw that his daughter was much more sensible than before, but he felt a lot more guilty in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Hui'er, over the years, it is I who am sorry for you that has caused you to suffer so many grievances, please forgive me!" Li Lanhui was sad, "Father, it was my bad that made it like this." "This time, I will definitely find a way to get my mom out.

Han Liuyun sneered: "What can you do?" You can rescue Old Lady Yan, I'm afraid she would have died in Huangquan a long time ago. From Han Liuyun's words, it was obvious that she hated Yan Jiangxue, if she hadn't stolen my family's heirloom, she wouldn't have come to this point, and Brother Qin wouldn't have been injured. Qin Xiaotian glared at Han Liuyun and said, "Liuyun, why are you talking like this?" At the moment, we are not arguing and arguing, we must find a way to rescue my master as soon as possible.

Brother Qin, I have thought of a way to save my mother, I don't know if it is feasible? Qin Xiaotian looked at her expectantly, and said, "What good way do you have?

Li Lanhui said with a heartfelt voice: "The dog officials in Zhangde Mansion are all greedy people, so they work him. Li Lanhui said a word, and before she finished speaking, Xuan Zhi shook his head and said, "This is not good, I don't agree with your ridiculous idea." "Listen to me, I pretend to be the bride who got married, you and my father are dressed as sedan chairmen and the wedding team respectively, and Miss Han will be my bridesmaid, okay?

Han Liuyun shook off casually and said, "Why don't I pretend to be your bridesmaid?" "What's more, Brother Qin's injury is not good, he can be a sedan chair driver?" Li Lanhui said angrily: "This is not good, it is not good, it is not good, just let Brother Qin pretend to be with him!" After hearing this, Han Liuyun said: "It's good not to let Brother Qin work, we can also give it a try!" Because there is only one way to go west from Zhangde to Beijing, and it is not good to set up an ambush there, but this trick is feasible. That way, we can save my mom on the way.

If I pretend to be a bride, they will come and rob it, and we can take advantage of it. After discussing with Qin Xiaotian, Xuan Zhi felt that this method was feasible, and was glad that Qin Xiaotian was only not seriously injured by the sword, so he applied medicine and rested for a few days.

At noon on the third day, a monk came to report that the prefect of Zhangde Mansion Luo and his entourage would personally escort Yan Jiangxue to Beijing early tomorrow morning to ask Yuan Shikai for credit. Qin Xiaotian said: "This information is reliable?" Qin Shaoxia, this message is true, this is the message brought by the beggar disciples. Qin Xiaotian was puzzled, didn't the beggar gang let Qu Yijian's old thief take him in? They were originally Fan Tieqing's subordinates, and they had long hated Qu Yijian, and they would not obey Qu Yijian. Qin Xiaotian thought about it for a long time, and felt that this matter was not strange and was in line with the logic of reasoning. Xuan Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's act according to my daughter's method, everyone has to prepare!"

Early the next morning, Lord Luo, the prefect of Zhangde, set off with Lin Lifu, the general soldier, the weather was slightly hot, the prefect of Luo sat in the carriage, Lin Lifu rode a horse to open the road in front, and Yan Jiangxue was escorted by the Qing soldiers to follow behind. Suddenly, Luo Zhifu lifted the curtain on the car, squinted at Lin Lifu beside him, and said, "Mr. Lin, this time we found this famous painting for Master Yuan, do you guess what Master Yuan will reward me?"

Lin Lifu nodded and said with a smile: "My lord Hongfu Qitian, you will definitely be highly appreciated by Master Yuan!" "I hope that this time I can succeed, in this world, if you want to become a powerful person, you must be cultivated." He Yuan Shikai was just a subordinate of Li Hongzhang's protégé Wu Changqing, and he was promoted by Li Hongzhang through his outstanding performance in North Korea.

"By the way, what do you think he'll reward me?"

Lin Lifu said: "Will he reward you as a governor who likes it?" Luo Zhifu shook his head, I don't like it, my surname Luo is not short of power, and it is not rare to be a governor. What is the position of the regent today? Luo Zhifu shook his head again and said, "I don't have any life, and the regent is just a plaything in his hands. Lin Lifu was puzzled and said, "My lord, you don't like the position of the regent, I really don't know what you like?"

After a long time, Governor Luo said: "I also want to be like Master Yuan, marry ten or eight wives." Lin Lifu laughed, cocked his thumb and praised, and said, "It's still an adult's clever trick, why didn't I think of it?" Then let Master Yuan reward you with some women. Before he could finish his words, Lin Lifu noticed a large group of people coming in front of him, all dressed in pink, and walking towards them. Lin Lifu said with a smile: "My lord, you are really Chrysostom, sure enough, someone is doing a happy event today!" Luo Zhifu pointed to the sedan chair and said, "That sedan chair must be the bride, it's really good!"

Lin Lifu waved at the Luo Governor's Mansion and said, "My lord, don't worry, if there is a beauty on the sedan chair, I will definitely arrest her for the adults to enjoy." Luo Zhifu clapped his hands and said, "Great, that's great!"

The procession of greetings was getting closer and closer, and when it was only a few dozen steps away, it stopped, and the locks and drums stopped. Lin Lifu shouted, "Who are you?" Why didn't you take a detour when you saw the court officials?

Immediately, a person walked out of the greeting procession, came to the carriage of Lin Lifu and Luo Zhifu with trembling hands, waved his hands, and said: "This lord, we are the villagers in this area, and the village is doing a happy event. "This is the team to welcome relatives, and I hope that the lord will raise his noble hand and let us pass. Luo Zhifu Gege, who was sitting in the carriage, sneered, opened the curtain, and looked at the welcoming team with a thief. He deliberately asked, "Chief soldier, what have you discovered?" Who blocked my way?" Lin Lifu replied truthfully: "Lord Prefect, it was this group of people who blocked our way. The man saw that the prefect was sitting in the car, and stepped forward with a smile on his face, "The contemptible person didn't mean to offend the prefect, this is the same way, please also invite the prefect Haihan!"

Luo Zhifu laughed and jumped out of the car suddenly, and the man was so frightened that he took a few steps back. After standing still, he saw clearly that the prefect was a fat man, and Luo Zhifu said: "So that's the case." The man bowed his head and replied, "The bride is on the sedan chair." It turned out that the welcoming team was Qin Xiaotian and Xuan Zhi and some Shaolin Temple monks and villagers dressed up, they were wearing red hats on their heads, it was not easy to notice, Qin Xiaotian and Xuan Zhi were mixed in the crowd, and the "bride" on the sedan chair was Li Lanhui. She was wearing a red silk scarf on her head, and when she saw Luo Zhifu jumping out of the car through the sedan chair, she was still a little panicked.

The man pretended to be demented just now and asked, "Master, where are you going?" He had already seen that Yan Jiangxue was being escorted and followed behind, she was walking with difficulty, her eyes were blank, as if she had been tortured a lot.

Luo Zhifu scolded, "What the hell are you doing, why do you care about so many idle things?" the man nodded and said, "Yes, I don't care about idle things." ”

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly: "Guys, there is the official master in front, give the official a few bowls of the good wine you brought." "Today is an auspicious day, and it is also a blessing for the bride and groom to be able to meet so many officials here. Lin Lifu was overjoyed when he saw that there was wine to drink, and after a few hours of travel, he had already died. He said to Luo Zhifu: "My lord, when the villagers do a happy event, they can enjoy a few bowls of face, and then you can also see how the bride is?" The villagers had already brought up a few jars of good wine, and Luo Zhifu first let a Qing soldier drink a bowl, and after drinking, the Qing soldier praised endlessly, and said: "My lord, it is really a good wine!" The villagers also gathered around and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, on the right time, there are only a few glasses of thin wine, please drink happily." The worries in the hearts of Luo Zhifu and Lin Lifu were dispelled, and they each served a bowl and drank a few bowls, and suddenly felt extremely comfortable, and praised: "It's really good wine!"

Luo Zhifu asked the villagers to pour another bowl, he stepped forward with his stomach up, and said, "Since the bride is on the sedan chair, I should go and give her a bowl." The villagers were stunned, and hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, the bride's family background is poor, how dare you let the adults toast?" Luo Zhifu pretended not to hear, took a few steps, and swept towards the sedan chair, I don't know who shouted: "My lord is really good!" Luo Zhifu was very proud, and threw a bowl of wine towards the top of the sedan chair, only to see that the bowl of wine was put on the sharp wood at the top of the sedan chair, Qin Xiaotian was afraid that he would be unfavorable to Li Lanhui, and was about to make a move, but Luo Zhifu jumped on the top of the sedan chair, held the bowl of wine in his hand, jumped down again, stood in front of the sedan chair, and shouted: " The bride on the sedan chair, I am Lord Luo of Zhangde Prefect, how about I salute you for a bowl on a good day today?" Qin Xiaotian and the villagers saw clearly, it was still a full bowl of wine, and Xuan Zhi scolded secretly: "What is it? At this time, a gentle voice came from the sedan chair, "My lord, the little woman's family background is weak, how dare you let the adults toast?"

This is thanks to the kindness of the adults, Luo Zhifu said: "I am just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, taking the opportunity to witness the bride's beauty." ”

After that, Luo Zhifu grabbed the sedan chair with his hand, and Li Lanhui, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was taken aback, almost screamed, and said, "My lord, what do you mean? Of course the little woman is shy." Luo Zhifu opened the door of the sedan chair and saw the "bride" wearing a silk scarf, bowing her head and not daring to look at him, Luo Zhifu was even more bold, taking advantage of the wine, she grabbed the top of Li Lanhui's head with a snort, she couldn't dodge, she was caught, he still put the silk scarf aside, only to see Li Lanhui's eyes full of affection, her face was like a peach blossom, Luo Zhifu's eyes were straight, she couldn't stop laughing, and said: "Beauty, beauty!" Before he finished speaking, he was about to reach out to hug Li Lanhui, Li Lanhui knew that he was a pervert, and he already had a strategy to deal with him in his heart, so he said unhurriedly: "My lord, tonight is the night of candles in my cave room, I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?"

Luo Zhifu smiled and said, "Beauty, you are entering the cave room with others today, I... I ·····" Li Lanhui laughed, My lord, I know what you want to say, as long as the adult is willing, it doesn't matter if the little woman sacrifices herself. Xuan Zhi and Qin Xiaotian heard these words clearly, and Xuan Zhi gritted his teeth with anger, and he didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

I only heard Li Lanhui shouting at the "villagers": "Man, today is my big day, don't you want to toast to the adults?" Immediately a few more "villagers" with a few jars of good wine came up, and served another bowl to Luo Zhifu, Luo Zhifu saw Li Lanhui looking at him with affection and smiling, his heart was like drinking sweetness, and he said incoherently: "Beauty, as long as you like it, Lord Ben will drink it!" Luo Zhifu drank a bowl, and unconsciously began to feel lightheaded, he shook his head, squinted at Li Lanhui's plump chest, and exclaimed: "Beauty, you should be satisfied." Li Lanhui saw that he was a little drunk, my lord, you have a lot of adults, you have to drink three more bowls.

Luo Zhifu laughed and said, "Beauty, you are really good at talking, I drink, I must drink ······" He drank three more bowls in one go, and at this time, he couldn't even open his eyes, and collapsed on the ground like a mess of mud. Li Lanhui glanced at Qin Xiaotian and Xuan Zhi, and Lin Lifu and the other Qing soldiers had already collapsed on the ground and did not move, watching Qin Xiaotian and the others rob Yan Jiangxue.
