The one hundred and thirty-third re-entry to Suzhou City
When Zhong Qing heard this, the boss was not happy, and pouted and said: "This time the stakes are very high, if I am not here, Ye Cheng will definitely suffer, can you bear to see him caught by the people of the Water Ghost Gate?"
Zhong Wanhou snorted and said: "With you, who can only do three-legged cat kung fu, it is easier for him to be caught, I think you are really playing wild, hurry up and go back with me, there are still many things to take care of at home." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Although Ye Cheng was reluctant to Zhong Qing in his heart, seeing that Zhong Wanhou was speaking, how could he be stubborn, he immediately persuaded: "What Zhong Daxia said is reasonable, Qing'er, you can go home and rest for a few days, it is hard for you to travel back and forth these days, now that I have Brother Zhao's help, there will be no danger, you can rest assured." ”
Although Zhong Qing was extremely reluctant in her heart, she saw that everyone was persuading her, and she really missed her father a little, so it didn't hurt to simply follow her father home for a few days, and the kung fu of those people in the Water Ghost Gate had already been seen in the Chongxiao Society and Yuhua Pagoda, and there were no outstanding people after Zhuge Qing's death, and it was estimated that there would be no danger with Ye Cheng's martial arts, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
Before leaving, Zhong Qing took Wei Rou's hand and found a place where no one was and whispered: "Sister Wei, I'm not here these days, so I'll trouble you to help me take care of Brother Ye, although he is smart, he is often high-spirited, and he is often hot-headed for chivalrous things, but whenever you encounter him, you have to help me persuade him more." ”
Wei Rou agreed: "Don't worry, sister, aren't Senior Luo and Brother Zhao still here, they won't let Brother Ye suffer." ”
Zhong Qing sighed, then walked up to Ye Cheng and said, "The address of my home in Luoyang City has been told to you, remember that you must come to me after the matter here is over." ”
Ye Cheng smiled: "Don't worry, Qing'er, I not only want to find you, but also do a big thing for you." ”
If it were as usual, Zhong Qing would have asked excitedly what the big thing was, but now that she was about to leave Ye Cheng, who had been with her for many days, Zhong Qing was only reluctant in her heart at this time, how could she be in the mood to ask about any big things, she just wanted to be able to see Ye Cheng again as soon as possible.
Ye Cheng stood at the foot of the mountain, watching Zhong Wanhou and Zhong Qing get on the horse, the horse's hooves were slow, Zhong Qing looked back, his eyes were full of reluctance, Ye Cheng was not like this, but he could only smile and wave to Zhong Qing.
After Zhong Qing and Zhong Wanhou's figures gradually disappeared, Ye Cheng turned to Luo Tongtian, Zhao Xuanwu, and Wei Rou and said, "Qing'er is gone, I can be regarded as having no worries, I will enter Suzhou City at night tonight to explore the water ghost gate." ”
Zhao Xuanwu patted his chest and said, "Brother Ye, I'll go with you, you can't shirk this matter." ”
"Brother Zhao, it's not that I refuse, it's just that you still have to look for the Smelling Fragrance Sect Master Shi Nature, how can you delay time for me?" Ye Cheng said.
"Shi Nature's whereabouts Luo seniors have been sending people to look for them, these days I happen to have nothing to do, when I accompany you, although the water ghost gate is a rabble, but after all, it can also be regarded as a small gang in the rivers and lakes, there are many people, I am afraid that you will suffer at that time." Zhao Xuanwu said categorically.
Ye Cheng saw that if he shirked again, he would be disrespectful to Zhao Xuanwu, so he had no choice but to thank him.
Wei Rou said with concern on the side: "Brother Ye, you should pay more attention to safety when you go. ”
Ye Cheng nodded, and turned to Luo Tongtian and said, "Senior Luo, please let Miss Wei rest here for a few days, and wait for us to come back." ”
Luo Tongtian said: "Okay, I will arrange for Lao Chen to protect Miss Wei until you come back." Zhao Xuanwu is right, I am already arranging for people to investigate the whereabouts of Shi Nature, after you leave, I will immediately arrange someone to investigate the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen and Wei Chong, but it does take some weeks to find these two people, and the time it will take is difficult to calculate. ”
Ye Cheng said with a smile: "Senior Luo can be willing to help, and the younger generation is already grateful, how can I be willing to rush the time again." ”
The five of them stayed on this mountain until the evening, Ye Cheng and Zhao Xuanwu borrowed two disguises from Luo Tongtian, dressed as if looking for ordinary people, and set off for Suzhou City. After they left, Luo Tongtian arranged for Chen Youfeng to do two things, one was to notify the brothers in the rivers and lakes to start looking for the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen and Wei Chong, and the other was to protect Wei Rou girl in this Shenji Mountain. He himself went down the mountain, and no one knew where he would go or when he would return.
Although the city gate of Suzhou City is still wide open in the middle of the night, but the entry and exit must be strictly checked, it turned out that Qi Shengtian lost all his belongings and burned the house, and he had not caught Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing and others, and the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent, and it happened to be counted on the prefect's head, forcing the prefect to say that he was a citizen of Suzhou, and was robbed by thieves at night, and the prefect should immediately arrest the murderer, otherwise it will be reported to the court.
The prefect was originally afraid of Qi Shengtian, and he could only hide if he couldn't afford to provoke him, but this time he couldn't hide anymore, so he had to ask someone to draw a notice and hang it in the streets and alleys of Suzhou City overnight, and anyone who reported it would be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and those who could catch thieves would be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver, of course, these money Qi Shengtian would not come out, and they all fell on the prefect's head.
Ye Cheng and Zhao Xuanwu observed for a moment in the distance, and understood that the city must be full of notices hanging their own, and immediately discussed with Zhao Xuanwu, and jumped into the city wall from no one, although this Suzhou City is a prosperous place, but it is not an important place, so the city wall is not very tall, with Ye Cheng and Zhao Xuanwu's martial arts, it is not difficult to climb the wall.
After the two of them entered Suzhou City, they saw that the lights had been turned on from house to house, and the pedestrians on the street had not yet patrolled the officers and soldiers moving frequently, it seemed that Qi Shengtian was really annoyed and angry this time, and he couldn't give up if he didn't find out the people.
"Brother Zhao, let's go to Qi Mansion first to see the situation, maybe we can have some clues. It's just that I have one thing, and I still have some concerns," Ye Cheng said to Zhao Xuanwu in a low voice.
"Brother, it's embarrassing, but it's okay to say it. Zhao Xuanwu said.
"Senior Luo pointed out that he wanted the Wuhou crossbow, but the Wuhou crossbow was owned by Zhuge Qing, although Zhuge Qing was killed now, and the Wuhou crossbow did not know where to go, but if we found it, we did not return the water ghost gate, but gave it to Luo senior, it seems unreasonable. Ye Cheng was a little embarrassed.
Zhao Xuanwu laughed when he heard this: "I thought brother, what were you hesitating about, it turned out to be this matter, then you don't have to worry." ”
Ye Cheng looked at Zhao Xuanwu with puzzled eyes, but listened to Zhao Xuanwu continue: "The Wuhou crossbow was really created by Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, when he equipped the Shu army archers with a crossbow that could shoot more than ten arrows in a row, known as the Zhuge Repeater, with this unprecedented weapon, the Wei army was miserable. But what people don't know is that he himself also specially developed a crossbow that is more powerful than Zhuge Lianba, which was originally intended to be used in the equipment of the Shu army, but unfortunately it has not been successfully developed. The Shu Kingdom that lost Prime Minister Zhuge was like a building that lost its optimus pillar, and was soon destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, and the artifact was left in the world. ”
Ye Cheng listened carefully, he didn't expect Wuhou Crossbow to have such an unknown experience.
Zhao Xuanwu patted Ye Cheng's shoulder and said: "So there is only one owner of this crossbow, and that is Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, he is gone, so he should be a virtuous person." Zhuge Qing wanted to rely on his surname Zhuge to take the Wuhou crossbow as his own, and no one in the rivers and lakes bought it. ”
Ye Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "In this way, brother, I can also be relieved." ”
Immediately, Ye Cheng had no worries, and Zhao Xuanwu tiptoed to Qi Mansion, and after jumping over the wall, he found that the courtyard that was messed up that night in Qi Mansion had been cleaned up, but the houses that were destroyed by fire still had not time to deal with it, but at this time, the lights of each house in the courtyard had been extinguished, except in a hut next to the destroyed house, there were still lights.
Ye Cheng and Zhao Xuanwu lowered their bodies and walked towards the house, and when they reached the window, they listened to the conversation inside, just at this time a rough voice in the room was shouting loudly.
"Qi Yuanwai, don't worry, who am I, Liu? That's the most righteous anger in the rivers and lakes, it's just ...... It's just that you also know the temper of my wife, that is, your brother and sister, and now the personnel of Hailong Village have expanded a lot, and the house is really tense at this time......"
The person who spoke was Liu Jin, and Ye Cheng could distinguish his voice.
At this time, I only heard another person in the house sneering: "Lord Liuzhai, I have three festivals and two birthdays in Qi Shengtian, big and small affairs, I haven't broken off to give you gifts, right? Why is it so difficult to find it so difficult to borrow a precious place to live in a place when you are down? That guy has also learned to rob you, and they are simply mad, today they dare to come to my Qi Mansion to set fire to and rob gold, and tomorrow they will dare to come and kill people! If I die at that time, see who will send you money, how can you continue to do it in Hailong Village!"
These words touched Liu Jin, I saw the muscles at the corners of his mouth jump, and said tentatively: "Qi Yuan, it's not that Liu is weak, and your family is not old or young, if you go to the daily expenses, it is naturally very large, the Hailongzhai Temple is small, and it is stretched to maintain it by yourself, if you go again, I am afraid that the tea and dinner will be served at that time, and the hospitality will not be good, which will make you resentful." ”
At this time, Ye Cheng and Zhao Xuanwu were outside the house when they suddenly heard another voice inside: "Lord Liuzhai, aren't you just reaching out to ask for money? Who doesn't know that you Hailong Zhaizhai occupies the coast, and there are no less profits from merchant ships and fishing boats, why is it that there is a problem outside the Qi staff now, so you are pushing back and holding back? Although I, Song, am only a temporary helper, I dare to speak here and ask Qi to go out to our Water Ghost Gate to live for a while!"
Ye Cheng was secretly happy in his heart: "This surnamed Song is the temporary helper, it turns out that the people from this water ghost sect really haven't left, and they can just track him to listen to some news." ”
