The smoke of gunpowder in Haw Par Villa slowly dissipated, and all the officers and soldiers put their swords into their sheaths and lined up in two rows.

In the queue, Fengtu Town walked briskly.

Jin Jie stepped forward and knelt down: "My lord, the bandits in the village have been exterminated." ”

"So where is Wang Lie?" Feng Tuzhen asked him.

Jin Jie replied: "Subordinate...... The subordinates were incompetent and did not find the prisoners. ”

Feng Tuzhen frowned, and thought to himself: "The manor is only so big, he can't fly to the sky!" Or ......" Feng Tuzhen looked left and right, and asked, "Where is the person surnamed Jiang?"

At this time, all the brocade guards looked to the side, and they heard bursts of lewd laughter and women's screams coming from the firewood room over there.

Feng Tuzhen turned to the school officer beside him: "I have ordered that you must not violate the woman, what is going on inside?"

It turned out that Jiang Nian was in the firewood room, and he wanted to be rude to the maid Yunshang, but Yunshang refused to obey and resisted for a long time.

Yunshang cried and said, "Uncle...... What do you want to know, Yunshang told you all just now, that one named Wang Lie...... is in the cave mansion in the back mountain, other than that, Yunshang knows nothing, and only begs the uncle to spare Yunshang's life. After Yunshang finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Jiang Nian said: "Hehe, beauty, uncle, I pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, how can I be willing to kill you? Uncle, I just want to be with you-have a good time!"

"Ahh

Yunshang screamed loudly, breaking free from Jiang Nian and opening the door to escape.

The wooden door was only opened by a crack in the door, and it was pressed by Jiang Nian with one hand.

"I want to go, the show hasn't started yet!

"You're going to die!" Yun Sheng bit Jiang Nian's wrist in a hurry.

"Oops!" Jiang Nian was in pain, angry in his heart, and he took advantage of his fingers and poked Yunsheng's chest.

Poof-

Yunshang spat out a mouthful of blood, leaned against the door panel, her body slowly slid down, her eyes stared at Jiang Nian, "You, you brute......"

After saying that, he stopped moving.

"Hmph, who wants you to be disobedient!" Jiang Nian wiped the blood on his face and said to himself: "It's a pity, such a beautiful girl, it's better for me to take advantage of the heat...... Hey, hey, hey!"

Jiang Nian said, smiling hideously, he actually wanted to do something indecent to the corpse, he picked up the cloud clothes and put them on the pyre, and began to untie his clothes.

At this time, a lieutenant quickly stepped up and kicked the door open, rushed into the firewood room, and pulled Jiang Nian out of the door.

Jiang Nian asked anxiously, "Sir, where are you going to take me?"

The lieutenant didn't answer, but just grabbed Jiang Nian's back collar and walked straight to Fengtu Town before putting him down.

"The person has been brought, please seal the lord!"

"Where is Wang Lie?" Feng Tuzhen asked him word by word.

"Huh?" Jiang Nian was a little confused.

Jin Jie said: "Your lord is asking you, you are not quick to answer truthfully, if you want to play tricks on the court officials, the end will be the same as a dead man on the ground!"

Jiang Nian knelt down and said: "Adult Mingjian, how dare you hide the truth from your adult if you have a few heads on your small neck?"

Feng Tuzhen asked, "My men searched all over here, why didn't they find it?"

"This ...... This, Wang Lie, he did come here!" Jiang Nian pointed to the hall behind him and said, "This is it! The last time I saw Wang Lie, he ...... He's still there, drinking with Qin Hu's gang! As for why he's gone, villain...... The villain is also puzzled!"

"It turns out that you are deliberately teasing this official!" Feng Tuzhen said.

When Jiang Nian heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The villain doesn't dare, oh, the villain remembered, just now the villain met a maidservant, he said, Wang Lie is in the cave house in the mountain behind the manor!"

"Houshan Cave Mansion?" Feng Tuzhen looked at Jin Jie, Jin Jie shook his head and said, "My subordinates have sent people to explore Houshan, but they haven't found it. ”

Jiang Nian said: "My lord doesn't know, I heard the maid also say that there is a secret road in the back mountain, which can lead directly to Danqing Valley, and it is not easy for outsiders to find it." ”

Jin Jie was shocked when he heard it: "What! Danqing Valley ......"

Feng Tuzhen also took a deep breath, thinking that it was not good, he only sent Shen Lian and more than thirty people to guard there, and said to Jiang Nian: "Where is the maidservant, hurry up and find it, let her lead the way!"

Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, and said, "This ...... Why, my lord, do you know that the maid had a bad plot and wanted to assassinate the villain, but was given by the villain...... Killed. ”

"What? you-"

Jiang Nian hurriedly said: "The adults are angry, the adults are angry! The villain has already asked the path in advance, and this will lead the way for the adults!"

"Believe you, let's go!"

So, under the guidance of Jiang Nian, Feng Tuzhen led the crowd to Houshan......

In front of the Hehuan Cave Mansion, Jiang Nian pointed to the cave and said, "Right here, my lord, please come in with me." ”

When Fengtu Town saw that Jiang Nian had walked into a cave, he couldn't help but wonder if there would be a road in this cave? But he didn't expect Jiang Nian to be able to play any tricks, so he led the crowd to dismount and then entered the cave.

In the cave, after walking more than ten steps, it seemed that the end could be seen, and Jiang Nian stopped.

Jin Jie stepped forward and pushed Jiang Nian: "Hey, you said that there is a secret way, where is it?"

Jiang Nian sneered and said, "Hehe, Jin Zongqi, since it is a secret passage, it must not be easy to find, and let me look for it carefully!" Jiang Nian said, and then carried a torch and explored the cave wall......

But he looked back and forth, left and right, and patted it all over, and on the cold stone wall, it was either bare bare rock or damp moss.

"Do you know?" Jin Jie waited anxiously and asked anxiously.

"Eh, listen to that say it's here, why is there nothing...... Where the hell is it, is it here...... No, I think it should be ...... here" Jiang Nian muttered to himself, but after all, he got nothing.

Feng Tuzhen on the side was almost impatient, Jin Jie went up and kicked Jiang Nian's ass, scolding: "Bastard, dare to play with us!"

"Spare your life, spare your life!" Jiang Nian was so frightened that he sat on the ground.

"It seems that you really don't know, I will kill you!" Jin Jie raised his knife and was about to slaughter Jiang Nian.

"Don't, don't, Jin Zongqi!" Jiang Nian was so frightened that he rolled and crawled on the ground, there was a pile of hay on the ground, and his hand seemed to touch some mechanism under the haystack, and subconsciously pressed it.

When Jin Jie raised his knife to slash, he suddenly heard a sound in the hole, boom-

I saw that a piece of snow and dust fell from the cave, and after a while, a stone door in front of me suddenly opened!

Seeing this, Jiang Nian said happily if he encountered amnesty: "It's open, it's open! The secret path is here, it's here!"

"Hmph, count you back a dog's life!Don't let grandpa bump into it next time!" Jin Jie put the knife into the sheath.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Nian smiled and apologized, and finally accidentally bumped into it, touching the secret channel of the cave mansion.

Fengtu Town led the crowd through the stone gate and entered the dark passage.

This dark road is artificially chiseled, located in the mountain rock formation, the road is wide and more than zhang, can be parallel to two horses, more than 100 steps long, to the end, see a bright light in front of you -

Fengtu Town hurriedly stepped forward to check, it was the exit.

At the exit, the pines stand tall and snowy.

I saw a mountain road, which was covered with snow, and the footprints on the snow were messy, winding down the mountain.

Seeing this, Feng Tuzhen said to himself: "Yes, the Qin prisoner must escape this way!"

As he spoke, there was a whoosh in the sky ahead, and two arrows burst out!

Jin Jie said: "My lord, that's the signal of Shen Zongqi!"

Feng Tuzhen stepped on his mount and said behind him: "Everyone, follow me down the mountain to pick up Shen Zongqi!"

"Yes, sir!"

......

The book is brief, Feng Tuzhen led the people down the mountain, to Danqing Snow Valley, and joined Shen Lian, only to know that Wang Lie had escaped from the valley mouth, so he reintegrated the men and horses, traveled lightly, took the hounds, and followed the smell and footprints all the way......

As the sky turned to night, the black curtain gradually fell, and the officers and soldiers of the brocade guards held torches and rode their horses on the snow.

"Newspaper—"

Suddenly, a scout rode back.

"Lord Feng, the footprints in front of you are divided into two directions: southeast and northwest!"

Shen Lian said: "Lord Qianhu, they must have parted ways in front!"

Feng Tuzhen nodded: "The footprints in the northwest must have been left by Wang Lie, and everyone should follow!"

"Yes!" replied the lieutenant.

If you look down at the ground from a deep height, more than 300 Jinyi Guard Captains are riding war horses and holding torches, like a slender fire snake, slowly wriggling in the snow of the Guanzhong Plain......

Walking through the snow for more than 20 miles at night, I saw a small village on the road, and all the officers and soldiers were also tired of running for their lives, and they wanted to rest and eat here.

When I looked closer, I didn't see a wisp of cooking smoke, and I didn't smell a chicken or dog.

The scout reported: "Lord Feng, the front is Lu Zhuang, and there is no one in the village." ”

Fengtu asked, "Where are the villagers?"

The scout replied, "He must have fled from the famine." ”

Feng Tuzhen said to himself: "I didn't expect the drought in Guanzhong to be like this." Lerma said backwards: "Pass the order, garrison here tonight!"

"Yes!"

The officers and soldiers went to Luzhuang to settle down, found an iron pot, made a fire to cook, and carried snow and boiled water.

There is a larger mansion in the village, which is the mansion of a certain squire, a few brocade guards stepped forward and kicked open the door, went in to clean up and down, and the captain outside the door said: "Lord Feng, please!"

Feng Tuzhen walked into the house, shook off the mink fur, and took a seat in the main hall.

"You may be seated. ”

Shen Lian, Jin Jie, the two general flags and a group of small flags sat down separately.

Jin Jie said: "My lord, in front of you is the Pingliang Jurisdiction, which is still two hundred miles away from the Fucheng, and the five hundred servants and catchers borrowed from Fengxiang Mansion have all been withdrawn. ”

"It's fine, but there are some less wine bags and rice bags. Feng Tuzhen said, "I miss my three hundred brothers in Jinyiwei, who set out from Beijing a month ago, ran for three thousand miles, and finally besieged the Qin prisoner in the lonely hill of Liulin today, but unfortunately, he still let him escape by taking advantage of the gap." ”

Shen Lian got up, knelt down and said, "It's not good to do things in a humble position, I am willing to be punished!"

Feng Tuzhen waved his hand and said: "I miscalculated first, and it has nothing to do with Shen Zongqi, so sit down." Where is the military supply?"

The Jinyi guard stepped forward and bowed: "Humble duty!"

Feng Tuzhen asked, "How many days of rations are left?"

The quartermaster replied: "It can last for three days." ”

"Good. Feng Tuzhen nodded.

At this time, a man tried to break into the hall, but was stopped by the captain guarding the door.

"What the hell are you doing, don't look around here!"

"Let me in, I want to see Lord Feng!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

"This military master, let me in!"

But the man did not live or die, and began to shout outside the hall.

Jin Jie asked, "Who is noisy outside?"

"Villain Jiang Nian, please see Lord Feng!"

Feng Tuzhen saw that it was Jiang Nian, and waved his hand and said, "Let it in." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Jiang Nian came in and knelt down and said, "Jiang Nian greets Lord Feng!"

Feng Tuzhen thought that he would come to ask for a reward, and said: "Jiang Nian, although you have made a meritorious report, but the Qin prisoner has escaped after all, you go down and stand by, once Feng captures the Qin criminal, he will give you a book to repair, and you can go to Fengxiang Mansion to receive the reward before you carry the letter." ”

Jiang Nian only said: "The villain doesn't want silver, the villain doesn't want anything, he just wants the adult!"

Feng Tuzhen asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Jiang Nian said: "The villain just wants to join the Jinyi Guard, serve the Lord of the Thousand Households, and beg Lord Feng to take him in!"

Feng Tuzhen asked him: "Then what kind of official do you want to be in the Jinyi Guard?"

Jiang Nian said: "Lord Feng, the villain knows that his martial arts are low, and he doesn't dare to be cheeky, he just wants to be a pawn." ”

When the officials in the hall heard this, many of them looked at each other.

Feng Tuzhen said: "The world's martial artists, I don't know how many people want to enter my brocade guards, in my Beizhen Fusi, he is a pawn, not a warrior with excellent martial arts, but also a strange person who must have a skill, Jiang Nian, I won't mention your martial arts, what are your long skills to listen to?"

Some of the flag officers present even laughed out loud.

Jiang Nian knew that what Feng Tuzhen said was not true, because even Jinyiwei had a lot of unlearned and unskilled people, and there were many gentlemen who went in through the back door, and they ate empty salaries for many years, and there was nothing that could not be changed about this kind of thing, so he said to Feng Tuzhen: "But please read the friendship of the same door and take in your command, Jiang Nian will follow the dogs and horses, and never give up!"

When Feng Tuzhen heard this, he took a sip of tea and asked calmly: "Tell me, who has the same friendship with you?"

Jiang Nian said: "Today's competition with adults, although Jiang Nian is invincible, but the Kongtong internal skills practiced by adults are impossible to fake!"

Feng Tuzhen said: "I still think you are a pustule, I didn't expect that there is still a little spiritual root, and I didn't learn in vain." ”

When Jiang Nian heard it, it seemed that there was a play, and he said happily: "Lord Xie Feng praises!"

Feng Tuzhen said: "Then who is your master?"

Jiang Nian said: "My lord, the teacher is Jiang Zhenren of the Kongtong Sect. ”

Feng Tuzhen nodded and said, "Oh, it turned out to be my senior brother Jiang's senior apprentice, so it's no wonder it's not a climate." ”

"Ah, it turned out to be Uncle Shi! Uncle Feng is above, please accept the disciple's three bows!" When Jiang Nian heard this, he felt even more playful, and slammed his head on the floor three times, making a bang.

Feng Tuzhen said: "Get up, Feng Mou has already gone out of the mountain and entered the office, and you are no longer a disciple of Kongtong, what kind of teacher is respectful." ”

But Jiang Nian said that he was even more energetic, and said seriously: "There is a way, one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father, back then, Jiang Zhenren treated his disciples like a master and a father, and his kindness was like a mountain, and Uncle Feng was his junior brother, so he was naturally the disciple's uncle!"

Seeing him bending his waist like this, Jin Jie and the other flag officials looked with great interest, while Shen Lian showed disdain.

"Your Excellency. Shen Lian stood up and said solemnly: "I have heard that this person is a tyrant in Liulin, on weekdays, the dog fights the human power, does a lot of evil, and is notorious in the township, and today because of his own selfishness, he has a clever tongue like a spring, and he has a honey-bellied sword, instigating the adults to unjustly kill many lives in the Tiger and Leopard Villa, and I want to pretend to be in the name of the same door, and cast the number under the command of the adults, and in the future, I will definitely cling to the powerful and the like for the tiger, I don't know how many loyal and good people will be killed!"

When Jiang Nian heard this, he hurriedly said: "Uncle Mingjian, Jiang Nian is loyal!" and turned to Shen Lian and said: "Shen Zongqi, you really misunderstood the villain......

Shen Lian turned his head and glared at Jiang Nian angrily, his face was as pale as iron, his eyes were like blazing, Jiang Nian didn't dare to speak.

Feng Tuzhen said: "Needless to say, Shen Zongqi, what you mean, this official knows." ”

Jin Jie persuaded on the side: "Old Shen, why be angry, just talk about it if you have something! I knew you were so angry, I would have slashed you in the cave today!"

All the brocade guards laughed.

At this time, the cook walked in and said, "Lord Qianhu, the food has been prepared." ”

"Bring it in!" Feng Tuzhen got up and said, "Colleagues, let's eat!"

"Yes, Lord Feng!" everyone stood up.

Feng Tuzhen saw that Jiang Nian was still kneeling in the middle of the hall, and waved his hand: "Jiang Nian, you also stay together to eat, as for your matter of making up for the lack of brocade clothes, wait for this matter, and then discuss it in the long run." ”

"Yes, Uncle Shi!"
