The shopkeeper didn't recognize Hong Renhai very well, but seeing that the two of them were fierce and vicious, he dared to have any voice there, and said: "If it's rotten, it's rotten, and it's not worth a few dollars if it's broken." ”

After the bartender of the tavern took Li Nan's silver, he ran to the Xiangjiang Inn like a gust of wind, but on the way he saw a few pig friends and dog friends gambling on dice, thinking that two taels of silver were for nothing anyway, so he wanted to make another windfall, took two taels of silver to buy the size, and he really bought it, and suddenly had four taels of silver in his hand, and he couldn't remember anything after winning the money, so he left the task behind and continued to stay in the gambling stall。 Li Yihang knew that things had changed, and he was about to escape from the door of the inn with the two of them, but fortunately he was cautious, he first probed out to look left and right, and found that Hong Renhai was about to come, and hurriedly returned to room 110 with the second daughter to close the door, I expected Hong Renhai not to know this, but I didn't expect it to backfire, and it was too late for the three of them to escape from the window, so he immediately asked the second daughter to get under the bed, jumped out of the window, and deliberately made the sound louder, Hong Renhai kicked the door in and only saw his back disappear outside the window, and chased out without looking carefully in the room, which left a chance for Qiu and Zhang to escape。

Hong Renhai couldn't catch up with the back that disappeared in a flash, so he had to go back into the room, but he didn't see Li Nan, and he didn't find it in room 108, he heard his insincere response, thinking of that weird figure, he couldn't help but be suspicious of Li Nan. When he returned home to meet the sect leader, Hong Renhai was not polite at all, and told the suspicious points in detail, Hu Dingzhong nodded and said: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, you can pay more attention to him usually." He called Li Nan and said, "Brother Li Nan, I am very important to you, but I also hope that you are loyal enough to me, this bone marrow pill, you can swallow it, in the future, our master and servant will have no guesses, and it will be much easier to do things." Li Nan looked at the white pill on the palm of his hand, and remembered that after his father-in-law swallowed it, he had to obey the command and control of others all his life, which was really miserable, and his whole life was ruined, but at this time, he had no choice at all, if he didn't swallow this pill, he wouldn't be able to step out of this room, instead of hesitating, it was better to be refreshing and happy, and he took it and swallowed it at the moment, and said: "It is really a great fortune in Li Nan's life to have the opportunity to swallow the sect master's pill and get the sect master's attention!"

"Well said, Brother Li Nan, only I can afford to be trustworthy, so I have the opportunity to eat this bone marrow pill, this pill is precious, and it is easy not to let people take it. Hu Dingzhong said with a smile. Li Nan scolded the eighteen generations of this person's ancestors in his heart, but his face was respectful, and Hu Dingzhong said: "Brother Li Nan, don't think that taking this pill is not very beneficial, anyone who eats this pill must hold an important position in the sect, since he is a high-powered person, martial arts must also correspond to his identity, you can rest assured, I will pass on your martial arts when I am free, so that you will lose more than you gain, this bone marrow pill is eaten willingly, haha, haha." ”

To rely on poison to tie the hearts of subordinates, I don't know if this idea was thought up by the person who lacks morality, Li Nan secretly cursed again, and said: "Thank you to the sect leader, the subordinates are the head of the sect, and there is no plan!" Hu Dingzhong said: "I pass on the martial arts of the two of you, you are not only my apprentices, but also my subordinates, and you must not be ambiguous in the future." Hong Renhai and Li Nan responded in unison: "Yes, Master (Sect Master)." ”

Now that there is nothing to do, Hu Dingzhong taught the two martial arts, Li Nan swallowed the bone marrow pill, and it was in vain to think about it, so he simply calmed down and learned art with Hu Ding.

Besides, after Li Yihang got rid of Hong Renhai's tracking, he returned to the inn after making sure that there was no danger, and met with Qiu and Zhang, and listened to Li Nan's message, thinking that Hu Dingzhong obviously wanted to lure me into the bait, and I had to take this hook, but how to get on it, how to get on, but I had to think about it. From Changsha to Hanyang, it is not fast to walk in a big car, it takes about ten days, and in these ten days, you have to come up with a way no matter what.

He said to Qiu Yulian: "Sister-in-law, please go back to Hanyang immediately to discuss this matter with Gang Leader Lu, Meilan, you also go back, tell your father about this matter, see what good way he has, see if you can deal with Hu Dingzhong like the Japanese people last time, without further ado, you two set off immediately." Qiu Yulian said: "Okay, Yihang, you are careful." After speaking, he turned around and went out to prepare, leaving Zhang Meilan alone with him.

Zhang Meilan took his hand, her face was full of reluctance, Li Yihang held her in his arms, stroked the three thousand green silks, and said gently: "I'll be fine, Meilan, you are waiting for me at home to news, if I come up with any ideas, I will send someone to inform you." Zhang Meilan lay in his arms, listening to his firm and thick heartbeat voice, her worried and frightened emotions slowly calmed down, and said softly: "Brother Hang, I believe in you, we are blessed with great fortune, and we will definitely be able to overcome this catastrophe." Li Yihang whispered in her ear: "I originally planned to marry you as soon as I came back, but I didn't expect that there would be many good things and I would have to postpone it later, but the best always came later." Zhang Meilan blushed and said, "Before you do anything, you have to think about the two of us, then you will definitely not make mistakes, and you will definitely be lucky and everything will go well." ”

Sending the two away, Li Yihang pondered, Hu Dingzhong expected that I knew when they would set off and take that road, that means that they will be very high-profile when escorting people, as long as they pay a little attention, they will notice, this may also be a trap, when I observe, they will pay attention to someone who is unusually suspicious from a distance, this is a headache, what should I do, if Meng Nuxia is here, it will be good if she organizes it, she will definitely be able to summon a large group of people, then it is okay to rob it, there is no need to bother at all.

He walked while thinking, and unconsciously came to the outside of the Liu family's compound in the north of the city, and saw from a distance that there were two people outside the door to probe their brains, sneaky and very suspicious, Li Yihang lowered his head and slowly approached, the more he walked, the more he felt that the two people in front of the door were familiar, and in the end he couldn't help but be overjoyed, one before and after, no one followed, his steps sped up and walked behind the two, and said in a low voice: "See you at the north gate, pay attention to the back." After saying that, he walked away.

Arriving at the north gate, Li Yihang sat under the city wall, and after a while, the two arrived as scheduled, it was his brother Luo Yun and Sun Jianteng, the three of them were very happy to see each other. After saying goodbye to each other, when they learned that Li Yihang had gone to the gods, Luo Yun and Sun Jianteng were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, shouting that it was a pity, and then asked about the changes in the Liu family, Li Yihang probably said for a while, and then said in a low voice: "You guys came just in time, I have a headache alone, I can't think of a way, do you have any ideas?" Luo Yun pondered for a while and said: "Yihang, why don't I go into the Hong Mansion to listen and see if I can get some valuable news, Hong Renhai doesn't know my relationship with you, I'm afraid there is no danger." Li Yihang said: "Your appearance at this juncture, and knowing his residence, will definitely arouse his suspicions, and in the later stage of the Zhenwei Martial Arts Pavilion, I have already gotten closer to you, this thing can't be done." ”

Luo Yun said: "It doesn't matter what he thinks, as long as we don't get in touch, Jianteng is our contact, and you will pass on the news." Sun Jianteng said: "I want to blend in with them as an outsider, don't they want to escort Zhifei, maybe they need manpower, I can pretend to be a groom and coachman." Li Yihang said: "The two of you are too dangerous to do this, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life. Sun Jianteng said: "What can't you do, the lives of the two of us were saved by you, and now that your martial arts are all lost, it's time for us to give back." Luo Yun said with a smile: "Brother Jianteng has a lot of milk during this time, Yihang, you can rest assured, you will definitely feed you fat and white." ”

"Don't talk about these crazy things at this moment, it's important for everyone to discuss business. Sun Jianteng looked serious, Luo Yun said: "Okay, just according to what I said, I will enter the Hong Mansion to connect with your eldest brother Li Nan, Jianteng will pretend to be a laborer and wander outside the door, waiting for the opportunity, Yihang, you don't do anything, don't show your face, just wait for the news." Li Yihang couldn't think of a better way, no longer reluctantly, several people's lives were handed over, no matter how much danger there was, he had to act, and he already had an internal response, and the chance of success increased a lot, the three of them discussed the path of delivering the good news, and Luo Yun and Sun Jianteng acted separately.

Luo Yun came to Hong's mansion, stepped forward and knocked on the door to explain his intentions, Hong Renhai was very surprised when he saw Luo Yun, and asked: "Senior Brother Luo, it's you, what kind of wind blew you here?" Luo went and said: "Senior Brother Hong, I was playing in Changsha, and I heard that your father was an official here, so I came to look for you, hey, I'm really lucky, I will find you as soon as I look for you." Hong Renhai was not very good at trading, and when he saw that the junior brother who had gotten along well came to the door, it was impossible to drive him away, so he said: "Senior Brother Luo, it's really not the right time for you to come, I will go out in two days." Luo Yun said: "It's okay, being able to see you, senior brother, has greatly exceeded my expectations, and I will be satisfied if I stay for a day or two." He opened his mouth to show the carriage and horses, Hong Renhai had no way to keep him staying, but he also had doubts in his heart, this junior brother appeared at this time, but I don't know if it has anything to do with the rabbit cub, no matter how you have to take precautions.

Three of his son's friends came to the house at once, Hong Jiangtao, as the host, opened a table of wine in the evening to invite the three of them to dinner, and Luo Yun saw Hu Dingzhong and Li Nan at the banquet. Hong Renhai briefly introduced Luo Yun to everyone, and said: "This is my junior brother Luo Yun when I was studying art in the Zhenwei Martial Arts Pavilion, Senior Brother Luo, you can give everyone a cup." When toasting Li Nan, Luo Yun blinked to Li Nan a few times behind everyone's back, Li Nan looked at it in his eyes, and thought: "Since this person is Hong Renhai's junior brother, he must also be Yihang's junior brother, I don't know him, but he looks at him, there must be a reason in the middle." During the banquet, he made eye contact with Luo Yun many times, and he was more sure of his thoughts.

In addition to Hu Dingzhong, the four Jiangxi people, including Hong Jiangtao, had their own hearts, and the atmosphere was not very warm, Luo Yun and Li Nan did not dare to be too active, for fear that Hong Renhai would see that something was wrong.

The banquet was about to disperse, Luo Yun proposed to go to the thatched house, Li Nan didn't dare to make a sound, so Hong Renhai asked the servant to take him there. After Luo Yun came back, he looked for an opportunity to give Li Nan a look. Li Nan immediately understood, and after a while, he proposed to go to the thatched house, Hu Dingzhong said: "Li Nan, it just so happens that the master also has the intention to urinate, let's go together." Li Nan said: "Okay master." ”

When he arrived at the thatched house, Li Nan directly pulled the door and put the thatched house, and said, "Drink it when you empty your stomach." Hu Dingzhong laughed and said, "Okay, Master is waiting for you at the table." After Hu Dingzhong left, Li Nan endured the smell in the thatched house to look for suspicious things, and saw that there was a piece of paper in the thatched pit that was white in color and not wrinkled, which was very different from straw paper, so he ignored the filth and dirt, leaned down and reached out to pick it up, and sure enough, it was a note left by Luo Yun for him, with nearly 100 words on it, which was written by Luo Yun before entering the Hong Mansion, explaining the intention and plan. Knowing that Qiu Yulian had returned to Mulan Mountain, Li Nanxian breathed a sigh of relief, and tore up the pieces of paper twice and scattered them in the dung pit and urine bucket.

After the banquet was dismissed, Hong Renhai arranged a remote and independent room for Luo Yun, and said, "Senior Brother Luo, you will sleep here tonight, don't walk around, Senior Brother still has something to deal with, and he can't accompany you." Luo Yun nodded in agreement.

Luo Yun didn't dare to walk around in the yard, and went to the thatched house in the vegetable garden on the second day, and also picked up a small note, saying that he didn't know that Mei Zhifei and others were locked up there, so he asked his friend Sun Jianteng to buy a big car and pretend to be a coachman to wait under the big banyan tree in Dongcheng, and then detained a coachman named Huang Yingjun, so that he could not come to Hongfu to pick up people tomorrow morning as scheduled. Luo Yun wrote the news on a piece of paper and threw it out from the northeast corner of the courtyard, and Sun Jianteng, who had been waiting there, immediately followed it.

Early in the morning of the second day, only one carriage came to the gate of Hongfu to wait, Hu Dingzhong said: "Why only one carriage comes, it can't fit five people." Hong Renhai asked the coachman: "Why didn't Master Huang come?" The coachman said: "I don't know about this, I said it well yesterday, maybe I have a sudden illness." Hu Dingzhong said: "Don't care, Renhai, you go and rent a car and come back, don't waste time." Hong Renhai came to the big banyan tree, only Sun Jianteng was waiting for a carriage, and he called him to Hongfu without thinking.

The two cars will be together, Hong Renhai called four powerful family members, took Li Nan and two carriages across several streets, came to an alley, entered a small door to pick up the four adults and a child who were detained, Sun Jianteng recognized them, they were Liu Dexing, Mei Zhifei, Lin Ju, Liu Xintao, the child is Liu Dexing's son Liu Wenjia, calm but not among them, Mei Zhifei and others recognized Sun Jianteng, and knew in their hearts that they came to save themselves, except for looking at them a few more times, there was no other action. The four adults were bound with their hands tied, and they were wearing anklets under their feet, all of them looking haggard, withered, and thin, without any energy. After returning to Hongfu, Hu Dingzhong told Li Nan: "Be careful on the road, we will be in front of you, don't worry." It's noon, so you'll have lunch and set off. ”

After eating, Li Nan and four family members rode horses and took two carts on the road. On the way, Li Nan was not in a hurry, he walked unhurriedly, thinking about a way to save each other, but where could he think of it?

When he arrived at a small town, Li Nan saw that it was not early, looked at the back of the team, and did not see Hu Dingzhong and Hong Renhai, and thought: "Why rush so much, I don't know if there is anyone in front of me, so I just spend the night here." At the moment, they found an inn to live in, Liu Dexing and the other five people were also taken to the room to watch, and under Li Nan's care, all five of them ate hot meals and drank hot water.

Without the supervision of Hong Renhai and Hu Dingzhong, Li Nan and the two coachmen and the four family members got together to chat, invited everyone to drink, and finally everyone also lost the dice to gamble money, Li Nan was generous, often won the money but did not take the money, lost and immediately gave the money, in disguise to send money, won the love of the four family Ding and the two coachmen, elated, everyone talked more, and finally became a "good friend" who had nothing to talk about, no wine or drink. After a while, Li Nan patted his pocket and said, "The luck is really bad, the money is lost, I won't come, you continue." Sitting aside and drinking, Sun Jianteng also said: "My luck is really bad, take a break and change your luck first." The two chatted together, and Sun Jianteng whispered, "Luo Yun didn't come along?" Li Nan nodded and asked, "Do you have any plans?"

"Not yet, those two people are following behind, I don't know where they are at the moment?" Li Nan said: "Maybe it's around us, let's talk less and act when the opportunity arises." Sun Jianteng said: "It's better for us to let the people in the house go now, a few of us, Lin Ju, Zhifei, you, me, plus Yihang and Luo Yun, I'm afraid we can beat them." Li Nan shook his head and said, "Brother, I'll give you a toast." Sun Jianteng raised his glass, and after toasting, the two walked away.

Sun Jianteng was just a groom, and entering and leaving the inn should not be monitored, so he hummed a little song and walked out of the inn, staggered to the town to find a cellar, and found a room to go in for a while before coming out.

Back at the inn, before the wine game was over, Sun Jianteng chatted with Li Nan again.

On the second day, the group continued north. Lin Ju and the others, under Li Nan's care, were in good spirits and had a bloody face. A few days later, everyone came to Yuezhou City, that is, where Li Yihang met Chen Juan, that night Li Nan chose to rest at the lake inn on the edge of Dongting Cave, Li Nan asked for a big room, after bringing five people into the room, everyone began to drink and gamble again, his silver seems to be lost, lost tonight, and there will be tomorrow night, along the way, all the family Ding is very happy, drinking is also presumptuous, anyway, you don't have to get up early on the second day, and your intuition is a day of drunken dreams and death.

After Li Yihang followed everyone all the way, he knew that Hong Renhai and Hu Dingzhong were close to the left, and he didn't dare to get too close, and after discussing with Sun Jianteng, he simply rushed to Yuezhou City two days in advance to arrange, before Li Nan and others entered the city, Li Yihang found Luo Yun and asked him to inform Sun Jianteng to go to the inn on the lake on the edge of Dongting Lake.

After a while, Sun Jianteng opened his eyes, cut the rope on Mei Zhifei Lin Ju and others with a knife, took out the sword hidden in the room in advance to Lin Ju and Zhifei, and led everyone from the secret door that had just been opened in the room to the next room, Luo Yun had already lived in this room a day before, he opened the shackles, and led everyone to climb through another small hole to the adjacent room.

Luo Yun asked, "Zhifei, are you okay?" Mei Zhifei shook their heads together with Lin Ju and the others. Luo Yun said: "That's good, stay for a while, this arrangement, Yihang will show up, lead Hu Dingzhong away, Hong Renhai may stay around the inn and continue to monitor us, no matter what, after Hu Dingzhong is led away, let's leave the inn immediately, everyone follow me, there is a boat by the river to answer, if Hong Renhai catches up, we will be honest and polite, fight him with four against one, I believe we can beat him, but we must fight quickly, hurry up and get on the boat, everyone will be safe." ”

Mei Zhifei was relieved to hear that Li Yihang came back and rescued them, and asked about Li Yihang, Luo Yun said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, by the way, why isn't your mother here?" Mei Zhifei said: "Before this group of gangsters arrested us, my father took the first step to rob my mother. Luo Yun exclaimed: "Your father, is it Mei Yu Long Mei Zuo Envoy?" Mei Zhifei nodded, Sun Jianteng said: "Then why didn't your father think of a way to save you?" Lin Ju said: "Mei Zuo made him not know, he robbed Aunt Leng and might leave Changsha immediately, and he didn't know that Zhifei was kidnapped, and he wanted to take Zhifei away at that time, Zhifei said that he didn't want to say anything, and forced him to die, so he had to stay." Luo Yun nodded and said, "Hong Renhai knows me, so we have to put on a hood for each of us, so it is impossible for him to suspect me in the future." After saying that, he took out his hood and put it on everyone, waiting for the time to slip away.

While waiting, Sun Jianteng said to Mei Zhifei: "Li Nan, Brother Li was forced to eat Hu Dingzhong's bone marrow pill, and when you see Mei Zuo's envoy in the future, you have to ask him for a lifelong antidote, don't let Brother Li be subject to Hu Dingzhong for the rest of his life." Mei Zhifei exclaimed: "Li Nan, Brother Li was forced to eat poison in order to save us? ”

Hu Dingzhong Hong Renhai followed the team, and when he saw everyone living in the inn, he hid nearby, Hong Renhai said: "Master, the journey is almost halfway through, that stinky boy has not yet appeared, there is no abnormality at all, and the news left by the family also says that there is nothing abnormal, will he be greedy for life and afraid of death, so he will simply not come to save people?"

"Judging from what that kid did, it seems that he is not a person who will not be saved, maybe he has not thought of any good way, and he does not dare to do it rashly, I guess he may do it on the edge of the Yangtze River, or on the way to Mulan Mountain. At that time, we must be very careful, don't fall for his kid's tricks. When Hu Dingzhong spoke, he was also puzzled, and there was no clue at this time, which was indeed incomprehensible.

Hong Renhai said: "Maybe that kid didn't know that we were going to kill the hostages, so he wasn't in a hurry." Hu Dingzhong's face was solemn: "What you said is also very possible, no matter, we don't have so much time, kill them all before going up the mountain." ”

The two looked at the brightly lit inn by the lake from afar, and seemed to be able to hear the sound of Li Nan and them drinking and gambling, Hong Renhai sighed: "Let's sleep outside, Senior Brother Li (Li Nan is late to apprentice to the teacher, although he is still older, he can only be Hong Renhai's junior brother) but sings late and evening, and is merry and happy, which is really eye-catching." Hu Dingzhong said: "Renhai, what is it to suffer this little bit, you are smarter than Senior Brother Li, and you can calm down, and your future future will definitely be much greater than him, as long as you follow me and continue to develop according to the current situation, not only will your martial arts be the first in the world, but the future Restoration Sect Leader Throne will also be yours, thinking of this, you should not envy your junior brother." Hong Renhai immediately said: "Thank you Master for your cultivation, the apprentice will work hard and never disappoint Master's expectations of me." ”

The two were chatting, and suddenly a person rode past where they were hiding, and seeing that the back was Li Yihang, Hu Dingzhong said softly with a happy face: "The idea is hooked." Hong Renhai said: "Master, can we chase after it?"
