As the night gradually fell, Zhao Yanhao and his entourage arrived at the foot of Taihang Mountain. There were two Jinyi guards accompanying him, one named Tang Zicheng and the other Du Fengchun.

"Brother Zhao, shall we wait for Shao Feng and them to come to greet you?" Tang Zicheng asked.

"What are you looking for!" Zhao Yanhao got off his horse, tied the horse to the forest, stepped out of the forest, pointed to the high mountain on the right and asked, "What they are searching for now is this mountain!"

Tang Zicheng took out a small piece of paper with some wrinkles from his arms, looked at it against the peak, and said, "Exactly." ”

"Let's go!" Zhao Yanhao took the lead in walking up the mountain.

Tang and Du hurriedly followed. Du Fengchun said with concern: "Brother Zhao, your injuries have not healed yet, and the mountain road is rugged......"

"It's okay!" Zhao Yanhao glanced back at him and said with a smile: "I am the best at climbing mountains!" I think back then, when I first went to Shaolin, what day was not carrying water, running dozens of miles up and down the mountain. ”

"Do beginner Shaolin disciples have to go down the mountain to carry water?" Du Fengchun asked with interest.

Only the monks of the chanting institute were excluded. ”

"Brother Zhao, I heard that the bottom of your Shaolin Temple's wooden barrel is pointed, right?" Tang Zicheng interjected and asked.

"Sharp, so weird!" Du Fengchun was surprised.

"Yes. Zhao Yanhao explained: "The bottom of the pointed bucket will fall as soon as it hits the ground. The reason why this kind of bucket is used is to prevent everyone from resting on the way. After returning to the temple, if the bucket is empty, you will be punished. - Ten more trips of water. ”

"Oh. Du Fengchun was relieved, thought for a while, and said: "If you want the bucket not to fall, there is still a way." For example, hanging on a tree branch. Wouldn't it be possible to rest in the middle of the way?"

"Nobody would do that. Zhao Yanhao smiled and said: "Shaolin disciples are all very honest. ”

"What do you kid know? This is called: hard work!" Tang Zicheng said with a smile: "You kid, use your brains! If you are a Shaolin disciple, your martial arts will definitely be the worst!"

Du Fengchun stuck out his tongue and grimaced at him.

"Brother Zhao, you must have carried the most and fastest water at that time?" Tang Zicheng asked.

"Not at first, but then it was. Zhao Yanhao boasted: "A one-day mission is twenty trips." On the most occasion, I have made eighty-seven miles!"

"Wow! It's amazing!" Du Fengchun exclaimed: "Brother Zhao, you are so willing to work hard, no wonder you can practice this peerless martial arts!"

"'Peerless'? Who dares to say that?! Under the world, there are many masters!" Zhao Yanhao said solemnly.

※※※

The three of them held torches and chatted while following the "wind" mark left by Shao Feng and headed for the west side of the mountain. After about an hour, Shao Feng led everyone to hurry back to greet him.

"Brother Zhao!" Shao Feng held his hand with both hands, "You're finally here!"

Zhao Yanhao glanced at the faces next to the torches, and suddenly found Nangong Qiao in men's clothes, and said with a slight surprise: "Who is this woman?"

"Her name is Nangong Qiao, and she is the daughter of Nangong Orange Light......" Shao Feng was nervous in his heart, thinking about how to deal with it.

"Oh?" Zhao Yanhao glanced at Nangong Qiao again, turned his head to stare at Shao Feng's eyes, and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you take her to Luzhou together?"

"That's it," Shao Feng said with a smile: "We took her together, just to lure Nangong Fu to appear." ”

"You mean to say: lure Nangong Fu to rescue her?" Zhao Yanhao's expression was not so serious.

"Yes. Shao Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The enemy is dark and I am clear, and it is very difficult to find." With her, maybe you can lure him out. ...... Moreover, this Nangong Qiao doesn't know martial arts, so he doesn't have to worry about being able to escape. ”

"This method is good," Zhao Yanhao muttered lightly: "However, it's not good to toss a young lady like this." ”

"That'...... Do you want to be taken to Luzhou immediately?" Shao Feng asked cautiously.

Zhao Yanhao thought for a while and said, "Forget it! Don't run around and toss around!"

Shao Feng touched the ground with a heart, and said with a straight face: "Yes." ”

Zhao Yanhao glanced at everyone again and asked, "What about Mu Shipeng?"

Shao Feng told the situation of the separate search, and finally said: "None of them have sent any news, and it seems that they have not been found." ”

"This mountain is too big to find. Zhao Yanhao looked at the reckless black mountain around him, and suddenly had a feeling of being small and trapped in a huge place, "Especially at night, it is even more difficult to find." It's not good to disperse, and it's easy to be attacked. ...... Let's just get everyone together and move slowly. When the day comes, we will split up and search. ”

Shao Feng received the order and ordered someone to send a fireworks signal, and after about half an hour, Zhai Dacheng and Zhan Huairen and his party rushed to rendezvous.

"Mu Shipeng, why haven't they been there yet?" After waiting for another stick of incense, Shao Feng was a little anxious, "Could it be...... What did you expect?"

Zhao Yanhao's eyes flashed, and he said, "Perhaps, they didn't see the signal." Again!"

"They are walking on the ridge, and it is easier to see the ......," Shao Feng pondered, "Maybe they were too fast and too far away." ”

"It's possible. Zhao Yanhao nodded, "Keep going, send a signal as you go!"

Everyone walked along the ridge for about half an hour, and Shao Feng suddenly found the baked cakes on the ground.

"This is supposed to be something they accidentally dropped while they were sheltering from the rain. Shao Feng bent down and took a closer look.

"It's not 'dropped', it's 'thrown'! Brother Shao, you see, you've stepped on miles! It must have been Mu Shipeng's guy who did it!" Qiu Yun sneered lightly, and snorted angrily: "That guy likes to spoil things!"

Shao Feng coughed lightly and said, "It's easy to leave footprints after the rain, follow their footprints!"

Everyone followed the footprints for a while, and a brocade guard suddenly saw a thatched house under the cliff and shouted: "There is a family there, go and inquire!"

"Forget it, it's the middle of the night, don't alarm people!" Zhao Yanhao waved his hand.

Shao Feng hesitated: "Brother Zhao, I think, it's better to ask...... Maybe they'll spend the night there!"

"That's fine. Be polite...... If you won't open the door, forget it!"

Shao Feng nodded, walked to the thatched house, pushed open the hidden firewood door, and personally stepped forward to knock on the door.

After a long time, there were no lights, no answers, and no movement.

Zhao Yanhao walked over slowly. Shao Feng shook his head in disappointment, turned to look at him, and sighed lightly: "Brother Zhao, let's go!" saw Zhao Yanhao waving his hand, as if listening intently to the movement inside.

Shao Feng was slightly surprised. Zhao Yanhao attached to his ear and said in a dumb voice: "There is someone behind the door!"

Shao Feng was shocked when he heard this, and pressed the whip handle with his hand. Zhao Yanhao held him down and said, "Don't be nervous! That person's breathing is turbid, and he shouldn't have any martial arts." ”

Shao Feng was a little suspicious, and listened attentively, but he couldn't hear the slightest sound.

"Tuk tuk tuk!" Zhao Yanhao suddenly slammed the door and said gently: "Master, don't be nervous, we are not bad people." Our purpose is simply to inquire of you: Have you seen some of our companions pass by here during the day?"

"Nope. After a while, a trembling voice came from behind the door.

"Thank you! excuse me!" Zhao Yanhao arched his hand and led everyone away.

"Something is wrong!" After walking a hundred steps, Shao Feng said softly: "He doesn't ask us: how many people are there and what they look like......

"Of course something is wrong!" Zhao Yanhao's expression was solemn: "I can still vaguely hear that there is a woman sobbing in the room......"

Shao Feng was a little frightened, looking at him sideways. Zhao Yanhao patted him on the shoulder and said, "You lead the group and wait here." I'll go back and see. ”

Zhao Yanhao walked lightly to the door, and really heard the crying again, but this time, the voice was a little louder than before.

"Don't be afraid, big girl, those bad guys are gone just now!"

"Bad guys?" Zhao Yanhao was even more suspicious in his heart, "Why do you say that we are bad guys?...... Yes, Mu Shipeng and they must have been here, maybe they even bullied others......"

Thinking of this, he slammed his palm, and a magnet-like softness penetrated into his palm, sliding the door latch open and pushing the door forward.

Orion heard the sound, and hurriedly came to check with the oil lamp, and saw that it was a majestic man who broke in, and his face was as frightened as earth, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord's life! My lord's life......

Zhao Yanhao hurriedly helped him up, so frightened that he retreated.

Zhao Yanhao stared at his frightened eyes and said gently: "Uncle, don't be afraid! I'm really not a bad person...... I'm sorry to have bothered you by intruding rashly!"

Orion glanced at him, saw that he had a righteous face, and his heart was a little calm, and he asked in a trembling voice, "May I ask my lordship...... What's the matter?"

"Adult, what adult?" Zhao Yanhao was shocked when he heard him call himself "adult" again.

"You...... Aren't you an official in the court?"

"Of course not. ”

Orion asked in confusion, "Didn't you just say outside the door that the officials who came during the day were your companions?"

"Oh, really?...... Is there a total of six people, led by two people, both big men, one with two wheels at his waist and the other with an iron chain?"

Orion suddenly covered his face and began to cry. After Zhao Yanhao's repeated questioning, he finally said.

While speaking, Shao Feng, Qiu Yundan, Zhai Dacheng, and Zhan Huairen also entered the house.

The more Zhao Yanhao listened, the more angry he became, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of murder.

"This bastard!brute!" Qiu Yun scolded angrily, "It's not enough to harm Nangong Qiao......!"

"Yun Dan!" Shao Feng hurriedly stopped, but it was too late.

Zhao Yanhao turned his head to look at him violently, and asked sharply, "Shao Feng, is there still such a thing?"

Shao Feng snorted: "Yes...... Yes, there is. ...... He had to forcibly leave Nangong Qiao, and threatened me, I ...... I can't help it...... However, I knew that he was uneasy and kind, and took her back......"

Zhao Yanhao wanted to scold him, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help it, and turned his head away with a cold face.

"Uncle, can you take us to see your eldest girl?" Shao Feng has always been cautious, and the implication is that seeing is believing.

Orion wiped his tears from his eyes, and led the way with an oil lamp.

The big girl was lying on the bed, just crying, and suddenly saw a group of strangers coming, so frightened that she shrank to the innermost end, hugging the quilt and shivering.

"Don't be afraid, big girl!" Orion comforted softly, "They are all good people! Don't be afraid of ......"

The big girl had dull eyes, looked at everyone one by one with suspicious eyes, and saw that there was no big demon king, and her heart was a little settled.

"Poor son!" said Orion, weeping, "she ...... She's just a kid......"

Zhao Yanhao sighed heavily, held Orion's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, the matter has come to this, and it is useless to be sad...... Don't worry, I'll punish him severely!"

Orion nodded, wiped the tears from his eyes, and swallowed the bitter tears into his stomach. He had heard this kind of rhetoric many times, so he didn't have any extravagant hopes at all.

At that moment, Zhao Yanhao ordered Shao Feng to give the hunter more than 100 taels of silver, which was a bit of a compensation. With so much money at once, at least enough for ten years, Orion was overjoyed, almost suspecting that he was in a dream.

The power of money is indeed terrifying, and the so-called dignity seems so ridiculous in its eyes.

- Not to mention, the poor. Poor people who could die of poverty at any time.

※※※

At that moment, the group quit Orion, and while sending fireworks signals from time to time, they followed the trail of Mu Shipeng and his party.

At midnight, Mu Shipeng and his entourage finally arrived to rendezvous.

"Brother Zhao, hard work!" As soon as they met, Mu Shipeng hugged his fists and saluted, smiling and groaning, how did he know that a catastrophe was coming?

Zhao Yanhao had a cold face, glanced at him, and asked: "Mu Shipeng, let me ask you: There is a hunter who said that you not only killed his dog and let people stew it for you to eat, but also, you also raped other people's daughters. Is that the case?"

Mu Shipeng's face had already changed sharply, and he argued strongly: "How can there be such a thing......? That Orion is talking nonsense!"

Zhao Yanhao sneered and said in a deep voice: "I have already seen this thing." ”

"See me in person?" Mu Shipeng played with Laipi and said with a dry smile: "Brother Zhao, have you seen me eat dog meat?

"I still want to quibble!" Zhao Yanhao glared at him angrily, "Dare to do it, but don't dare to be a ...... Phew, what kind of man are you?!"

"you birds!" Mu Shipeng played, "Lao Tzu is the person of Beizhen Fusi, a dignified court official! What does Lao Tzu do, is it your turn to point fingers!"

Zhao Yanhao was not angry, stared at his eyes and asked, "Just say, is there such a thing?"

"What if there is? What if there is none?"

"It's very simple: if you don't do it, I will make amends to you, and if you do, you will be punished!"

"Punished?" Mu Shipeng seemed to have heard a big joke, "Hahaha, who are you kid? What is your identity?!...... Hahaha, I'm laughing to death!"

"So, do you admit it?" Zhao Yanhao asked in a deep voice.

Mu Shipeng snorted coldly, too lazy to pay attention to him, and looked up at the night sky.

Zhao Yanhao turned around and asked: "Shao Feng, let me ask you, according to the precepts of the Fusi of Beizhen: What is the crime of robbing people and property? What is the crime of raping people's women?"

Qiu Yunlan hurriedly said: "According to the law of Beizhen Fusi: those who rob people and property, no matter how much or less, will have their left hands cut off and forty military sticks with their staff; ”

When Mu Shipeng heard this, Huo De turned his head, stared at him and said with a cruel smile: "Qiu Yundan! You really have a kind, come to cut off Lao Tzu's hands and feet, and cut Lao Tzu's bird!"

With a "choking" sound, Qiu Yun's long sword was unsheathed, and the fox fake tiger was ready to pounce, but he was immediately held down by Shao Feng, and said softly: "Wait first, see what Brother Zhao says!" Qiu Yun snorted lightly and inserted the long sword back.

Zhao Yanhao nodded and sneered: "Mu Shipeng, you finally admit it!"

"Recognize your grandmother!" Mu Shipeng rolled his eyes and shouted arrogantly: "Lao Tzu did it?......! How dare you take Lao Tzu?"

Zhao Yanhao's face sank, and he said: "It's not good! Waste your left hand, waste your feet!"

"Do you dare?!" Mu Shipeng was shocked and angry, seeing his terrifying momentum, and he was afraid, "kicking" took two steps back, pulled out the sun and moon wheel, and said in a trembling voice: "Who dares to touch me! I am the nephew of Lord Xu Yuankai Xu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard!" Speaking of this, his waist straightened up, and his face was hideous, "Who the dares to move Lao Tzu!

Zhao Yanhao stood upright, stared into his eyes for a moment, and said word by word: "Don't say that you are Lord Xu's nephew, even if you are the current prince, I will abolish you!"
