Chapter 174: Provisional Deliberations

After Sai Fan left, Liu Yunfeng and the others sighed, supported each other, and walked out of the mountain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the distance behind Liu Yunfeng and the others, Cai Zhuo, Wu Jidong and Situ Chen all looked gloomy when they saw Liu Yunfeng and the others killed.

Cai Zhuo said to Situ Chen: "Tenth brother, that Liu Yunfeng and the others are so tenacious that they can get out of the ambush of the Dongying people. Does the tenth brother have any other arrangements?"

Situ Chen had a gloomy smile on his face and said, "Third brother, the Holy Purpose is ahead, Liu Yunfeng and the others want to rush back to Jingshi within seven days, and then they must cross Xiangshui or Zishui. Hengshan has been raining heavily for several days, and the water potential of Xiangshui and Zishui will inevitably rise sharply. Once the Hunan water rises, the river surface is extremely wide, and Liu Yunfeng and others cannot cross it. The remaining opportunity for Liu Yunfeng and the others is to cross the water. In this case, the only place in the water that can be crossed is the Luoma Crossing. ”

When Cai Zhuo heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What does the tenth brother mean, and then arrange someone to intercept and kill him in Luomadu?"

Situ Chen shook his head and said, "At this time, it's too late to arrange for the master to go to Luomadu to intercept and kill. Moreover, Luomadu is located on the bank of Zishui, unlike in this dense forest, which can allow the Dongying people to strike again. If the Dongying people make a move in Luomadu, it will cause a lot of trouble. ”

When Wu Jidong heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do?"

Situ Chen smiled coldly and said: "There is a saying in the holy decree that if the officials, soldiers and arresters along the way encounter Liu Yunfeng and others, they can be arrested. Dozens of miles away from Luomadu, there were officials and soldiers of the imperial court stationed. Some of them are something that our brothers can move. We waited for this to take a shortcut, rushed to the camp of the official army, joined them, and went with them to Luomadu to arrest Liu Yunfeng and others. If Liu Yunfeng and the others don't resist, after we take them down, we will detain them on the bank of Zishui and drag them for a few days, so that they will be guilty of resisting the decree. Moreover, once Liu Yunfeng and the others fall into the hands of our officials and soldiers, we brothers are still afraid that there will be no way to rectify them? If Liu Yunfeng and the others resist, they will let the officers and soldiers intercept and kill them. In the melee, the swords and guns were blind, and who the officers and soldiers killed could be explained. ”

When Cai Zhuo and Wu Jidong heard this, they were overjoyed and said, "Great! Then let's leave immediately!"

Situ Chen nodded and said, "Be sure to take them down at Luomadu." Otherwise, Liu Yunfeng and the others would have seen us with the Dongying people. If the news spreads, it will be unfavorable to us, and even affect Xiangye. ”

After Cai Zhuo and Wu Jidong nodded at the same time, Wu Jidong said: "Tenth brother, if you also go with us, what if there is a change in Crouching Tiger Village?"

Situ Chen smiled coldly again and said, "Thirteenth brother doesn't need to worry. Brother Ten has been in Crouching Tiger Village for several years, and my cronies have already taken all the important positions in the village. A few days ago, when several brothers and I were collecting and paying for Crouching Tiger Village, we cut down those who were loyal to Guo Dongqiang and Sai Fan Xu, and the village could not afford to turn over flowers. Besides, the prime minister has an order, after doing this, let me return to the capital to obey the order. This Crouching Tiger Village, it doesn't matter if you want it or not. ”

Having said that, Situ Chen still called two confidants, and after whispering a few words, the two of them arched their hands to Situ Chen and the other three, and turned around and walked in the direction of Crouching Tiger Village.

After the two henchmen left, Cai Zhuo, Wu Jidong and Situ Chen waved their hands and took several of Situ Chen's henchmen and hurried towards the outside of the mountain.

However, it was said that after Liu Yunfeng and the others separated from Sai Fan, the sky outside the mountain was also dark.

At the moment, although the rain is subdued, the road is rarely slippery. After walking for a long way in the dark, they finally faintly saw the shadows of several houses in front of them.

Liu Yunfeng and Master Mingkong stepped forward to take a look and found that these houses were all deserted. Presumably, the owners of these houses were patronized by the people of the green forest on the Hengshan Mountain from time to time, and they were overwhelmed, so they abandoned the houses and moved to other places.

Liu Yunfeng and Master Mingkong turned back and led everyone to one of the houses. Everyone sat down, and finally they were able to catch their breath.

As soon as everyone sat down, Sun Si and Master Mingdao were once again busy treating the injured people.

Since entering Xiangyang, everyone has been injured again and again, and Sun Si and Master Mingdao have hardly stopped along the way. Especially Master Mingdao, his own injuries have not yet fully recovered, but he has been rushing to treat everyone's injuries with Sun Si.

Zhu Jian took a sip of water and said angrily: "Cai Zhuo's gang is so bold that even the Japanese dare to collude!"

Seeing that everyone was full of righteous indignation, Liu Yunfeng scolded one after another, stretched out his hand, stopped everyone, and said: "Several seniors, brothers, it is useless to say this now for the time being. The first priority is to think about what to do next. Only by rushing to Beijing as soon as possible and retrieving the things left behind by the inorganic can this matter be revealed. After the battle of Xiangyang and today's fighting, I feel more and more that what is intercepted by inorganic must be extraordinary. It's not good, it may have something to do with the Yi people. Otherwise, the traitorous side would not have dispatched such a strong force, and would not have hesitated to risk the condemnation of the world to collude with the northerners, monks, and Japanese people to intercept and kill us. ”

Master Mingrui nodded and said, "Liu Daxia is reasonable. Along the way, the strength of Qin Mu's side was already unusually strong. Liu Daxia really needs to find what Meng Shizhu left behind as soon as possible. ”

After that, Master Mingrui asked, "What are the plans for Master Liu Shi on what to do next?"

Liu Yunfeng nodded and said, "The younger generation means that according to our original plan, we should cross Xiangshui or Zishui as soon as possible." It's just that it has rained heavily around Hengshan for the past few days, and Xiangshui can't cross it. For today's plan, we can only go through the water. ”

While speaking, Liu Yunfeng paused slightly, and then said: "Moreover, under this kind of water potential, there is only one way to cross the water." In other places, it is too wide, and the water of the Zishui River has skyrocketed, and it is impossible to cross it. ”

Zhu Jian saw that Liu Yunfeng stopped again when he said this, and frowned slightly, and interjected and asked, "Brother Liu is worried that the prime minister will continue to arrange interception and killing in Luomadu?"

Liu Yunfeng shook his head lightly and said, "Luomadu is a ferry port where pedestrians often pass by. There are four masters and the Zhu brothers, and the traitor should no longer openly arrange interceptions. My fear is that the officers and soldiers will intercept them at the ferry. Lok Ma Du is not too far from this place. We are controlled by the Holy Decree, and the traitors cannot intercept and kill us at Crouching Tiger Ridge, so it is not difficult to deduce our next general route, and it is very likely that the officers and troops will be arranged to intercept us at Luomadu. ”

When Zhu Yan heard this, he said angrily: "Can the traitor cover the sky with one hand? In the land of the two lakes, there are also generals from my Baoguo Mansion stationed there. The traitor wants to mobilize the army at will, that's wishful thinking!"

Zhu Jian sighed lightly and said, "Second brother, what Brother Liu is worried about is not the encirclement of the army. At the Prime Minister's place, even if we only secretly mobilize 100 officers and soldiers and stop them at the ferry, we will not be able to pass. With the Holy Purpose in front, the officials and soldiers can lock up Brother Liu and others openly, but we can't take action against the officials and soldiers. The matter of Xiangyang has not yet been settled. If we attack the officials and soldiers who arrested Brother Liu and the others, we will really be complicit. ”

Everyone knows that what Zhu Jian said is true.

Now, the holy decree has been issued, and the officials and soldiers along the way have been given the sword of Shang Fang to capture Liu Yunfeng and others. The officers and soldiers don't need to send too many people, as long as they can block the fallen horses, Liu Yunfeng and the others will not be able to pass. If Liu Yunfeng and the others could not cross the Luomadu as soon as possible, and wait until the flood subsided, and then cross the Zishui or Xiangshui from other places, they would definitely not be able to rush back to Beijing within the time limit set by the holy decree.

If this is the case, Liu Yunfeng and the others and the Zhu Jian brothers will all commit the crime of bullying the king. Once the crime of bullying the monarch is committed, needless to say how serious the consequences will be, even if Liu Yunfeng and the others can find what Meng Wuji left behind, and carry the crime of bullying the monarch, if Liu Yunfeng and the others want to say anything, the court and Qin Mu will naturally have a way to deal with it.

Master Mingkong frowned and said, "This is the only way?"

Liu Yunfeng nodded and said, "Yes." In the case of a large increase in the water, this is the only ferry in the vicinity that is likely to be crossed. Even at this crossing, if it weren't for the most experienced boatmen, it would not be possible to ferry it through when the water was rising. ”

Master Mingkong groaned slightly, and said in a low voice: "When we arrive at the Luoma Ferry, if there are really officials and soldiers guarding it, our senior brothers and sisters will kill them in masks, scatter or contain the officers and soldiers, and you will take the opportunity to cross the river." ”

Whether it was Liu Yunfeng and the others, or the brothers Zhu Jian and Zhu Yan, or Sun Si and A Tu Yigan, etc., they were all stunned when they heard Master Mingkong's words.

No matter how rich everyone's imagination is, they never thought that a high-ranking monk of Master Mingkong would actually have the idea of doing masked deeds that only those who rob homes and robbers do.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him dumbfounded, Master Mingkong's old face turned red, and said, "What are you doing looking at Lao Gong like this?" After that, Master Mingkong himself also recited Amitabha Buddha several times in his heart.

Liu Yunfeng was grateful in his heart, stood up, walked to Master Mingkong and the others, and bowed to the four monks.

Master Mingrui accepted this salute, stretched out his hand to signal Liu Yunfeng to straighten up, and said with a smile: "The matter is urgent." Although Senior Brother Mingkong's words are a bit absurd, Lao Qu and the others are not impossible. Lao Gu and others have a Buddha in their hearts, as long as it is a matter of eliminating demons and defending the way, the Buddha does not care about these means. ”

As soon as Master Mingrui said this, Master Mingjie and Master Mingdao also nodded. This matter, even if it is settled.

After Liu Yunfeng bowed to Master Mingrui and the others again, he returned to his place and sat down. Although Liu Yunfeng's face looked unfazed, in his heart, he was more and more determined to take the things left by Meng Wuji, avenge the brothers of Qingyunzhai, and correct the name of Qingyunzhai. Otherwise, it can be regarded as completely disappointing the hearts of many predecessors, friends and fellow practitioners.

Zhu Jian didn't expect Liu Yunfeng to be thinking about this at this time. Seeing Liu Yunfeng sitting down, Zhu Jian asked in a low voice: "Brother Liu, you just said that even if you cross the river from Luoma, in this case, the idle boatman will not be able to ferry." If I wait until I get to the ferry crossing......"

Liu Yunfeng smiled slightly, raised his hand to stop Zhu Jian's words, and said, "Third Brother Zhu, don't worry about this matter. ”

After that, Liu Yunfeng said to everyone: "Don't hide it from a few seniors and brothers, there has always been an old man from my Qingyun Village at the ferry port." The old man never left the crossing. This time, the old man will always be at the Luoma ferry in case of emergency. This old man's skill in the boat is extremely good, and it will not be a problem to cross us through the crossing. ”

When everyone heard this, their faces showed joy, and their hearts were full of speculation. This Liu Yunfeng and Meng Wuji, for the sake of Qingyunzhai, how many dark chess did they play?

Zhu Jian lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked again: "Since this is the case, then it will be good." It's just that this old man, will Wu Jidong or the official army see through his deeds?"

Liu Yunfeng smiled slightly again and said, "Third Brother Zhu doesn't have to worry. This old man was rescued by accident between me and Inorganic back then, and he was admitted to Qingyun Village outside the village. This person has never entered my Qingyun Village. Don't say it's Wu Jidong, even the iron pillar doesn't know it. No one else but Inorganic and me will know his identity. ”

Zhu Jian nodded, completely relieved.

Now that the next direction has been decided, everyone is healing and discussing some details. In this discussion, everyone really took out the matter of the four monks of Northern Shaolin masked and rushed to kill the officers and soldiers, which caused Sun Si to look at Master Mingdao with his eyes, as if he had never known this old friend of Northern Shaolin.
