Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Whereabouts of the Treasure Map (Part II)

Dugu Jian suddenly felt a little strange, and hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see the girl standing in place, her eyes looking ahead, but her eyes were not focused, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But Dugu Jian also knew in her heart that she thought of her father again nine times out of ten, and was about to say comfort, but she saw all kinds of jewelry on the counter in a jewelry store next to her. His heart moved, he flashed into the store, and picked up a green hairpin from the counter, which was a very precious Jiufeng hairpin.

It turned out that when Dugu Jian was outside, he saw this hairpin at a glance, and he also knew that the ordinary jade hairpin that the girl had been wearing was very old, and when he met such a good-looking hairpin, how could he not buy it and give it to the girl?

"Boss, how much does this hairpin cost?" Dugu Jian asked with the hairpin.

"The guest officer is really good eyesight, this is a very rare boutique in our store, it is rare for the guest officer to be so hearted, so he will accept two taels of gold. The owner of this jewelry store looks like a profiteer, and Dugu Jian also knows that no matter how expensive this hairpin is, it is not worth two taels of gold, but he is not willing to negotiate the price, so he directly took out two ingots of gold and one tael from his arms, put them on the counter, and floated out of the jewelry store with the nine phoenix hairpins.

This back and forth only took a moment, and even Zhang Linxin hadn't reacted, she only felt a gust of wind drifting by, and Dugu Jian walked up to her, raised her hand, and put a hairpin on her hairline. Then the girl was led by Dugu Jian to a bronze mirror in front of the jewelry store: "Lin'er, is it good-looking?"

The girl was also very happy when she saw the Jiufeng hairpin on her head, but when she saw so many people on the street looking at her, she was a little shy, smiled lightly, and replied in a low voice: "Well, it's beautiful." Pulling the Dugu sword and running away, he left here. After returning to the small courtyard, the new hairpin that the girl was wearing was seen by Li Yao, and naturally she was inevitably ridiculed. But this time she was not annoyed, but instead played with Li Yao.

After dinner, the three of them sat in the courtyard and chatted for a while, Zhang Linxin walked a few laps with Li Yao, and the two of them returned to the house and went to bed early. Dugu Jian practiced swordsmanship for a while, and then went back to the house and ran the internal strength heart method a few times before lying down to sleep.

Early the next morning, a soldier came to report that Wang Zuo had asked them to meet at the pier outside the north gate. So Kenshin and the two informed Li Yao, followed the soldier out of the door, and came to the dock.

On the wharf outside the north gate of Ezhou City, the water splashes continue to lap the riverbank, the clouds are reflected in the water, and the sunlight shines brightly. With the warm breeze blowing on the water in the early morning, everyone only felt very comfortable. Wang Zuo, who had a broken arm, stood on the bank of the river, with his back to the sun, as if he was in thought. Dugu Jian suddenly felt that his figure was reflected in the morning light, but it looked very tall.

Looking at Wang Zuo's back, the two Kenshin nodded to each other and shouted loudly: "General Wang!" Wang Zuo slowly turned around, saw the two of them, a smile appeared on his face, and he took a few steps forward and said: "Dugu Shaoxia, I haven't seen you for a few days, it seems that your injuries have improved a lot from your complexion." Dugu Jian replied: "Thank you General Wang for your concern, this time it is thanks to the general that he found Doctor Gu, otherwise he might not be able to get better so quickly!"

Wang Zuo said with a smile: "Dugu Shaoxia Jiren Tianxiang, even if there is no me, I believe I will be able to recover!" Zhang Linxin asked first: "It seems that General Wang has been waiting here for a while, right?"

Seeing that the two of them were looking at him, Wang Zuo opened his mouth and asked: "Dugu Shaoxia, are you planning to go back to Hengshan?" Dugu Jian nodded and replied: "Yes, I am indeed going to go back to Hengshan first, this time I have been out for more than half a year, and there are many things in this sect that I still need to go back to deal with, and I also miss my junior brothers and sisters at home very much." I'm going to go back and see before I plan for the next step. ”

After listening to Dugu Jian's words, Wang Zuo nodded, and pondered for a while before saying, "It's so good, I want to ask you two for something." Zhang Lin hurriedly asked, "I don't know what General Wang has entrusted us with?" As long as we can do it, we will definitely find a way to do it." Wang Zuo looked at the two of them: "I want to ask the two of you to go to Dongting Lake by the way." ”

"Dongting Lake?" Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin glanced at each other, and immediately had a plan in their hearts: didn't Yue Fei just send Wang Zuo to Dongting Lake to inquire about the situation of the Tianwang Gang a few months ago? It's just that after a series of things that happened later, the two of them didn't have time to ask Yue Fei about it, and they didn't know how they investigated about the situation of the Tianwang Gang. Originally, Dugujian and Zhang Linxin discussed that they were going to Dongting Lake, after all, Zhang Rumeng had been there for several months, and he didn't know what the situation was?

But since they returned from Huashan and met their junior brother Lu Qing in Hanchuan County, Dugu Jian missed all the junior brothers and sisters on the mountain more and more. Therefore, a few days ago, he discussed with Zhang Linxin, and planned to ask Yue Fei about the situation of Dongting Lake, and then go back to Hengshan first, and then take his younger brothers and sisters to Dongting Lake to find the whereabouts of the treasure map. But at this time, Wang Zuo suddenly proposed that the two of them take a trip to Dongting Lake first, which had to make them suspicious.

The two did not continue to ask, but looked at Wang Zuo together, only to see that he fell into memories and contemplation, and said leisurely: "This matter is a long story, please listen to me first......

"Ten years ago, Zhong Xiang raised troops in Dongting Lake to resist the rampant expropriation of corrupt officials and the looting of those routed soldiers, and his original intention was actually good. Later, Zhong Xiang proclaimed himself the king of Chu, and the righteous army had more than 100,000 soldiers, resisting Zhao and Song in the east and resisting the Jin soldiers in the north. Later, the king of Chu was assassinated, and the rebels publicly promoted Yang Mi, a native of Longyang, as their leader and continued to fight with the officers and soldiers. In the following years, the rebel army developed very rapidly, and even the battle was victorious, and the imperial court was very panicked when it knew it, and sent troops to suppress it many times but returned with a fiasco. In the third year of Shaoxing, Yang Mi set up Zhong Xiang's young son Zhong Ziyi as the crown prince, and he called himself the Great Sage Heavenly King, and re-established the Great Chu regime. ”

Dugu Jian listened attentively: "I also heard about these things at that time, they were really just to fight against the rampant expropriation and burning and looting at the beginning, but later they joined forces with the pseudo-Qi to subvert my Great Song Dynasty, and as far as I know, Yang Qi, Zhong Ziyi and others were also extremely arrogant and lascivious later, not all for the people." Wang Zuo did not answer Dugu Jian's words directly, but continued to say quietly: "Five years ago, the imperial court transferred Marshal Yue to Dongting Lake to exterminate the righteous army. After the capture of the Emperor and the crown prince, they were also killed by the imperial court, and after the rebellion of the rebels, their vitality was greatly damaged, and less than 12 of their brothers remained, and even the Manichaean congregation, which was the backbone of the sect, suffered heavy losses. Only Yang Ying, the young son of the Heavenly King, studied art outside and survived. ”

Zhang Linxin also said: "Well, I also know about Marshal Yue's suppression of the Dongting Lake rebellion, and Brother Dugu, didn't you also go to help?" Dugu Jian didn't speak, but thought of another thing, but he still had some doubts, so he smiled and said, "General Wang, please continue." ”

When the young man learned of the tragic news, he rushed back to Dongting Lake overnight, regathered the scattered brothers, and with the support of the elders of the church, changed the name of Manichaeism to the Tianwang Gang, and reorganized the brothers. The gang leader is strong in martial arts and courageous, and under his leadership, the Heavenly King Gang is flourishing day by day." Speaking of this, Wang Zuo sighed: "It's just that the gang leader does not forget Marshal Yue's revenge for killing his father day and night, and the Yue family army and the righteous army are even more enmity like the sea, and the brothers of the family practice hard day and night, just to kill Marshal Yue one day and break up all the Yue family army." So, I volunteered to infiltrate Yue's camp and prepare to assassinate Marshal Yue. ”

"What?General Wang, you?" Jian Xin and the two were taken aback, they never thought that Wang Zuo would have such an identity! Wang Zuo smiled gloomily: "Yes! I am the former envoy of the four envoys of the Heavenly King Gang!" Dugu Jian was a little puzzled and puzzled: "Then why did General Wang ......" Zhang Linxin suddenly guessed the reason, and said with a smile: "I guess it must be that after General Wang approached Marshal Yue, he found that Marshal Yue was a loyal to the country. The great hero who stood up to the sky and the earth, so he was impressed by Marshal Yue, right?" Wang Zuo nodded approvingly at her: "Yes, Marshal Yue is upright and upright, and he is dedicated to restoring my Great Song River and Mountain, and he is the pillar of the nation! I, Wang Zuo, am happy and sincere to the marshal, how can I deliberately inflict harm?" Dugu Jian also high-fived and exclaimed: "General Wang is well aware of righteousness, and he is worthy of being an upright man!" (To be continued.) )
