Chapter Eighty-Nine: Fengming Cave

Ye Cheng said in his heart when he dodged left and right: "These people seem to have been deceived very deeply, if they don't do it slightly, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to believe it just by words." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Thinking of this, at this time, I saw another person raising an axe to chop, Ye Cheng dodged to the right and then suddenly reached out to take the sword, and then saw that the axe had been broken into two, and there was only a bare axe handle left in the hand of the axe bearer.

Just as the man exclaimed, Ye Cheng performed his martial arts, and cut off the weapons of four or five people one after another, and everyone present was stunned for a while, standing there one by one, still holding incomplete tools in their hands.

Ye Cheng returned the sword to the sheath after retracting his body, and said with a smile: "Everyone, listen to the next words, if what you say is wrong, it's not too late to act." ”

Everyone was shocked by Ye Cheng's martial arts for a while, and they looked at each other one by one, so they had to wait for Ye Cheng to speak.

Ye Cheng saw that everyone was at ease, and took the opportunity to say aloud: "Fellow villagers, it is true that the imperial court fleet came to the island, but what you say about burning, killing and looting is nothing, and it is purely fabricated and framed. Thinking that Zheng He, the chief soldier of the fleet, personally raised more than 20,000 elite divisions, if it is said that it is as easy as exploring the three Buddha islands, but why did the fleet stop after arriving on the island and did not attack the city? It was because the imperial court wanted to negotiate with Chen Zuyi first, as long as he no longer did looting, the imperial court would definitely keep his position as the lord of the island, and you could also work and live on the island with peace of mind. It's a pity that Chen Zuyi, Wang Ce and others are already greedy for profit, disregarding the lives of the people, not listening to bitter words, resisting stubbornly, and plotting to kill the Ming envoys, which made Zheng He have to Chen Bing Cangming to act against the rebellion. ”

While listening to Ye Cheng's explanation, everyone slowly understood that it was not that the court had no gains, but that the island owner was unjust, which angered the court army.

Seeing this, Ye Cheng then said: "Fellow villagers, please rest assured, now that the first evil Chen Zuyi has been bound, and the accomplice Wang Ce and others have been ambushed, the flames that are burning in Cangming City now are not the actions of the imperial court, but the deliberate arson of the remnants when they fled." Lord Zheng has already made a list in the city, and your residence is also in the autumn without committing any crimes, if you don't believe it, you can go back and take a look. ”

After a while, some people in the crowd were moved by the words and shouted: "I don't think what this young man said is false, if the court wanted to come to burn, kill and loot, it would have done it a long time ago, why wait until today? I am saying that Chen Zuyi is dead, what good can it do to kill us? I don't want to stay in this place anymore, I want to go home and see, if you don't leave, I can go!"

But seeing that this person's voice just fell, he picked up the package when he fled and walked straight to the direction of Cangming City.

Seeing this situation, Ye Cheng's heart was settled, so he asked people who were familiar with the terrain to ask for the detailed location of Fengming Mountain.

"Fengming Mountain is easy to find, but if you say Tibetans, it must be in the Fengming Cave in the mountain. A middle-aged villager said.

Ye Cheng hurriedly asked, "Fengming Cave?"

The middle-aged villager replied: "Fengming Cave is halfway up the southern foot of Fengming Mountain, and when we were young, we used to play and frolic there, and whenever it rained, we would run to the cave to take refuge. The cave is not small, I remember that it can accommodate hundreds of people, warm in winter and cool in summer, it is really a good place. It's a pity that the old island owner Wang Daoming blocked the Fengming Cave, and ordinary people don't want to step into half a step again, but less than a year after the mountain was closed, the owner of the island Wang unfortunately passed away, and Chen Zuyi became the owner of the island. From then on, it was rumored that there was a curse, and those who went up the mountain to hunt had to go around, not to mention the others. ”

Ye Cheng had an idea in his heart after hearing this, so he took out a little broken silver from his arms and handed it to the middle-aged man and said: "This big brother, thank you very much, but I am afraid that I will not be able to find the location of the cave for a while, and I ask the eldest brother to lead the way to the vicinity of the cave, and I can go in by myself at that time." ”

The middle-aged man saw that although the silver was scattered, it was a lot, but he immediately refused to accept it: "It's okay to lead the way, but I can't ask for this silver, if I let my old mother know that his child needs money to lead the way for others, you have to scold me." ”

Ye Cheng's hand with the silver was pushed back again, and Ye Chengxin said: "The people here are really simple and simple, and the people are kind, and it is rare for these people to be so pure and good under the rule of Chen Zuyi." Immediately, without reluctance, he put the silver into his bosom, led the horse from the side, jumped up, and then dragged the middle-aged man onto the horse.

Because the middle-aged man was familiar with the terrain and scenery around Fengming Mountain, Ye Cheng did not take any detours, and galloped all the way to Fengming Mountain.

Waiting at the foot of the mountain, Ye Cheng held the reins and walked slowly, and his heart went from Wang Daoming's sealing of the mountain to Chen Zuyi's entry into the island, this Fengming Mountain has changed hands several times, I am afraid that a news ambush has been arranged, it is better to be careful. Immediately walked on the mountain path for a while and did not find the mechanism, then gradually relieved, but saw that although this Fengming Mountain is not very high, but the vegetation is dense, the road is winding, if it is not led by a familiar person, it will be difficult to find the entrance to the cave for a while.

The middle-aged man guided all the way to the southern foothills, but saw the spring water trickling down from above, converging into a stream, the stream water is crystal clear, like a jade belt horizontally, and the murmuring sound is even more pleasant.

A short distance forward is Fengming Cave, don't blame the young man, I don't dare to go forward.

Ye Cheng arched his hand and said: "What did the eldest brother say, I am already grateful that you can bring Zai Xia here, but it doesn't hurt to go back, and the rest of the things can be handled by Zaixia." ”

After waiting for the middle-aged man to go, Ye Cheng held the Yuehua Sword hanging from his waist, and walked forward, and sure enough, before he walked out of a tea kungfu, he saw a cave, the entrance of the cave was covered by dense grass and trees, and only half the size was exposed.

Ye Cheng saw that there was no one at the entrance of the cave, and his heart couldn't help but sink: "If this is where the children who were taken captive in the Central Plains are hidden, why is there no one at the entrance of the cave? Could it be that they have already made arrangements in advance and transferred them to other places? Could Qing'er not be here in the first place?"

The more he thought about it, the more confused his heart became, and Ye Cheng immediately decided to take a look at the cave first, maybe he could get some clues. Thinking of this, Ye Cheng immediately lifted the low-hanging leaves at the entrance of the cave and walked inside, but at this moment, suddenly a gust of evil wind was not good, and he rushed towards himself with a "whew", Ye Cheng was quite confused at this time, where did he expect that there was an enemy hiding at the entrance of the cave, and it was too late to dodge, so he hurriedly erected his hands in front of his chest and took the palm hard. At this time, Ye Cheng didn't have time to use his internal force, and immediately felt that under a huge momentum, he took a few steps back one after another to stabilize his body, and after standing up, he couldn't help but be shocked by this blow of blood and qi in his body, his throat was sweet, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, Ye Cheng was young and full of internal strength after all, so it was not a big deal, and when he looked closely, he found that two people walked out of the dark shadow at the entrance of the cave, the same height of less than five feet, the same fat body like a wooden barrel, and even the same earrings at the ears.

"It's you!" Ye Cheng said.

"Stinky boy, you are really ghostly, why are we all hiding here and you have found us!" Lang Pan said viciously.

"Yes, the treasure armor has been given to you, and you have also occupied Cangming City, what else should I do!"

Ye Cheng saw that it was the Lang brothers at this moment, and he knew that they had been fighting with him repeatedly, so he immediately smiled reassuringly: "This is not called a rivalry, I didn't know that you were hiding here, and I didn't come to find you this time." ”

Lang Pan rolled his strange eyes and asked: "Since you are not here to find us, then it is better to leave quickly, if you still talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes, don't force us too much!"

"Yes, also, if you want us to surrender to the court, I also advise you to die as soon as possible, so we don't want to be the lackeys of the court!" Lang An continued. Neither of them would lag behind when they were fighting, even when they were arguing.

Ye Cheng said with a smile: "The two of you have misunderstood, you have said something first, as long as the two of you don't behave like evil from now on, you will not embarrass the two of you, let alone force the two to submit to the court, and besides, you haven't returned to the court, how can you force others." ”

"You also said that you didn't return to the imperial court, this Zheng He can survive, you can turn the tide of the battle and break through Cangming City, isn't it all your kid who made a fool of it!" Lang Pan pointed at Ye Chengdao with his hand.

Ye Cheng immediately had no mood to argue with these two reckless people here, and immediately said: "Let's not argue about these things, I came to Fengming Cave this time to find those children of the Central Plains who were captured by you, and Miss Zhong Qing, is she also imprisoned in the cave by you?"

Lang Pan and Lang An glanced at each other, and immediately Lang Pan said: "There is no one in this cave, it is our two brothers who are resting here, and we don't understand what you say!"

Ye Cheng smiled, how smart he was, how could he not see that the two of them looked wrong, knowing that there must be a secret in it, if there was no one in the cave, how could these two be so nervous?

"Brother Lang, I have the heart to let you go, but this matter is very important, you must not wade into this troubled water again, or let me enter the cave to have a look, if it is really as you said, there is no one in the cave, I, Ye Cheng, turned around and left, as if I had never seen the two, I will not embarrass you, do you think this is good?" Ye Cheng stared at the two and said.

Lang Pan was about to speak, but Lang An preemptively said: "Okay! This is what your kid said, if no one goes in and sees it, and you come out to embarrass our brother, we will definitely not spare you!"

Ye Chengfu said with a smile: "But please rest assured, Ye Cheng has always been a man of his word." ”

Immediately, Lang An and Lang Pan both dodged their figures, revealing the entrance of the cave, and Ye Cheng felt that there was any more ambush in the cave, so he pulled out the Yuehua Sword and walked towards the cave, but his feet had just stepped into the hole, and he only felt that there was wind in the back of his head, and he immediately heard a person shouting: "You kid will give me here today!"
