Chapter 134: The Death of the Iron Rod

But Yang Zhan suddenly rejoiced, because he understood that the person who would do this must be someone who didn't want him to find out the truth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info If you calculate it like this, the only people behind this are Quan Chen and Zhao Siyan. But the possibility of Quan Chen doing this is smaller than Zhao Siyan, the reason is very simple, Yang Zhan is only a cloth cloth, even if his martial arts are no match for the 100,000 iron horsemen of the Beijing Division, if they want to get rid of Yang Zhan, I am afraid that they don't need to go around so many bends at all.

But Zhao Siyan is different, after the failure of the year, he must have hidden and carefully planned somewhere, intending to make a comeback. However, his act of inviting a golden envoy to complicate the situation had already made the imperial court angry, and if Yang Zhan found him because of the investigation of the old case, and then announced it to the world, he was afraid that the whole plan would fall through again.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, but he neglected two very key details, the first is that Yang Zhan had just learned that his grandfather's unjust case had another hidden story before going to Luling, and the second was that Qiu Guanghan had secretly investigated Zhao Shanxin back then. If he had discovered the former point, he would have found a way to kill Yang Zhan, and if he had known the latter point, he would have eliminated these reclusive officials as soon as possible.

At this point, the fact that Zhao Siyan is still alive is no longer an inference, but a real existence. But Yang Zhan still couldn't figure it out, how did Zhao Siyan know that he was Fang Wanli's descendant? After all, all these follow-up actions need to be carried out based on this, and in fact, there are not many people who know about it.

At this point, Qiu Guanghan's experience helped Yang Zhan. He inquired in detail about what happened to Yang Zhan before he came here, and finally said intuitively: "He must have learned your identity after you went to Lin'an City." ”

Yang Zhan then remembered that he went to Lin'an City to worship his ancestor's former residence, could it be that the old man revealed the news? But the old man didn't look like a treacherous person, so he shouldn't publicize the matter.

At this point, although Yang Zhan had no clue for a while, he could at least be sure that Zhao Siyan or his eyeliner had appeared in Lin'an City.

"If Zhao Siyan is really in Lin'an, then this Tao Yong must be fake. Qiu Guanghan said decisively.

Yang Zhan also guessed at this moment, because Lin'an City was too close to Huangshan, if Tao Yong was still there, he would have been eliminated by him a long time ago. Yang Zhan regretted why he didn't think of this at the time, but the situation at that time was that he didn't fully understand the whole thing, and he wasn't even sure if Zhao Siyan was still alive, even if he knew this, he would definitely not be able to detect Zhao Siyan's appearance in Lin'an, so what could he ask Tao Yong?

The sky had completely darkened, and Yang Zhan had to leave, but Qiu Guanghan suddenly said: "Lord Wang and your grandfather were also close friends back then, if Yang Shaoxia wants to go to Gusu to find him, don't be resentful because he investigated Fang Shilang, he can't help himself." ”

In fact, at this point, the matter has basically become clear, and it doesn't matter whether Wang Zhonglu and Ye Dingchen see or don't see it later, but since Qiu Guanghan said that this Wang Zhonglu and his grandfather are friends, why not ask about the deeds of his grandfather during his lifetime? Not to mention that Chuzhou and Gusu are not far away, but it doesn't hurt to go there.

"Don't worry, Lord Qiu, Yang Zhan is not a reckless person, now that I hear you talk to Lord Zheng, I already know that the old things have nothing to do with you, so naturally I won't talk nonsense to Lord Wang. Yang Zhan said.

Qiu Guanghan's face darkened, and he said after a long time: "I want my Qiu to follow loyalty and righteousness all my life, but I am ignorant of Fang Shilang's case, but Yang Shaoxia's sentence has nothing to do with us, but the old man can't bear it." ”

Yang Zhan had to persuade him with good words, Qiu Guanghan saw that Yang Zhan did not blame himself, and his heart was much more down-to-earth, so he said to Yang Zhan: "The old man doesn't have many friends on weekdays, and this Gusu King is one of them, but I am now old, and I am afraid that I will not be able to see him again in my lifetime." Now that the end of the year is approaching, since Yang Shaoxia is going to find him, can you help the old man bring some gifts to him?"

Qiu Guanghan's words and words showed sincere emotions, how could Yang Zhan not be moved, so he agreed one by one. I saw Qiu Guanghan call someone to rewrap the newly purchased boxes of cakes before handing them over to Yang Zhan. Although Yang Zhan knew that these pastries were not valuable, Qiu Guanghan let him bring them so carefully, which shows the deep friendship in them.

Yang Zhan said goodbye to Qiu Guanghan, and led Hua Linglong to find an inn to stay. There was wind and snow outside the window, but Yang Zhan was indescribably excited in his heart, because after seeing Zheng Boliang and Qiu Guanghan this time, he not only completely figured out the origin of his grandfather's unjust case, but also discovered Zhao Siyan's whereabouts, so he was one step closer to revenge.

After a night of heavy snowfall, the whole of Chuzhou was hidden in a thick snow. On the inaccessible road to the east, two lines of deep horseshoe prints neatly extended to the end, and when the sun slowly melted the snow, another person appeared outside Qiu Guanghan's house.

This person was Miyamoto Zhongyi, who hurried to Chuzhou after killing Zheng Boliang, and according to the plan, he was going to kill Qiu Guanghan before Yang Zhan came in. But unexpectedly, after Yang Zhan left Luling, he was anxious to inquire about Zhao Shanxin from Qiu Guanghan, and he came overnight, but it was a day earlier than he expected. It's just this, but Miyamoto didn't know about it, and after going in and finding someone, he ended his life with a knife.

Yang Zhan felt that things were coming to the surface step by step, and the rest of his mind was all about how to dig out this Zhao Siyan. It's just that since Qiu Guanghan promised to give gifts to Wang Zhonglu on this trip, then everything will have to wait until he goes to Gusu.

Yang Zhan's mood improved like a sunny day after snow, so he slowed down the horse's hooves and waited for Hua Linglong to move forward together. Seeing the two of them carrying gifts, there were talking and laughing all the way, and those who didn't know thought they were a pair of newlywed Yan'er.

However, when the two of them were leisurely marching forward, a man on crutches came across the road, but wasn't it Hu Banweng, who was plotted by Zhou Xuanweng at the martial arts conference? At the martial arts conference, he also condemned Yang Zhan as a bloodthirsty demon descendant, and now that he saw it, he naturally would not have any greetings at all.

Yang Zhan and Hua Linglong walked over blindly, but unexpectedly, Hu Banweng blocked the two of them with an iron rod.

"Yang Zhan, we have worked so hard to find you, I didn't expect to meet you here. Hu Banweng said coldly.

Yang Zhan reined in the horse and replied coldly: "But I don't want to look for you, get out of the way." ”

But Hu Banweng waved his iron rod and rushed towards Yang Zhan. His indiscriminate blow was too sudden, and Yang Zhan had to fight with his sword. Hu Banweng was originally injured, but now he is suffering a heavy blow like Yang Zhan Taishan, but where can he afford it?

There was only a dull sound, and Hu Banweng's iron rod fell to the ground with his hand, and his person staggered back a few steps away.

Yang Zhan saw that he was vulnerable, so he put away his knife and rode his horse around. But Hu Banweng insisted on fighting to the death with Yang Zhan, so he picked up the iron staff on the snow and swept towards Yang Zhan as he sat down.

Although Yang Zhan didn't want to entangle with him, if the mount was swept by Hu Banweng's iron staff, it would definitely be either dead or disabled, so how could he move north and south in the future? I saw Yang Zhan slash out two palms with his backhand, and the two swift blades went straight to Hu Banweng's arms. But he heard Hu Banweng scream, and the iron rod in his hand fell to the ground again. Yang Zhan looked around, but saw Hu Banweng with a painful face, and his arms were even drooping and dripping blood, dyeing the snow under his feet bright red.

Yang Zhan was a little curious, because the palm knife he used just now didn't use all his strength, why he was still able to hurt him so badly. Yang Zhan thought about it and realized that this Hu Banweng had been seriously injured at the martial arts conference, but he was afraid that he had not recovered yet, so he couldn't withstand any attacks at all.

Yang Zhan hurriedly jumped off the horse and wanted to go over to investigate Hu Banweng's injury. But Hu Banweng once again put on a parry posture, and Yang Zhan was not allowed to take half a step forward at all.

"Yang Zhan, you have done a lot of evil, and I will not make you feel better if I fight for this old life today. Hu Banweng shouted.

Yang Zhan thought that Hu Banweng was talking about the old story of his apprenticeship with the Crazy Sword Ancestor, after all, Yang Zhan had been despised by others because of this at the martial arts conference, so he said angrily: "Haha, I, Yang Zhan, only do my own private affairs, and it can be regarded as evil?

Seeing that Yang Zhan was so arrogant, Hu Banweng was even more furious, so he picked up the iron rod again and wanted to attack Yang Zhan. It's just that Hu Banweng was injured by Yang Zhan in front of his arms, and now he can't even lift this iron rod, but how can he hurt Yang Zhan again?

Yang Zhan saw that he couldn't make a move anymore, so he said coldly: "If you have the strength, it's better to stay and go to the doctor." ”

With that, Yang Zhan rode his horse and continued to move forward.

Hu Banweng could only watch Yang Zhan leave, and could only scold at his back. But Yang Zhan ignored these, and instead continued to run towards Gusu with Hua Linglong.

When people are excited, they often cling to a thought in their heads, but when they calm down, they often find something different. Hu Banweng scolded for a long time on the halfway, but he also dissipated a lot of anger, and then realized that Yang Zhan had no intention of taking his own life. Where is this like the bloody sword gate and the murder of the monks?

But Hu Banweng was a little suspicious and then turned his mind, didn't Yang Zhan just admit the fact that he had done a lot of evil? He didn't kill himself, but he was in a hurry, just afraid that there was something more important to do.

Thinking like this, Hu Banweng became anxious, because the direction that Yang Zhan went to Huaidong was the only way for the heroes of Guanzhong to return at this time, could it be that he was going to attack which martial arts person?

Hu Banweng only hated that he didn't have the ability to transmit sound for thousands of miles, otherwise he would have advertised the crowd to let them avoid it. His life was at stake, so Hu Banweng hurriedly chased Yang Zhan, but he had already bled too much after his injury, so he fell down without taking a few steps.

Hu Banweng fell in the snow and couldn't get up, so he only hoped that the knights who were going north would pass through here, so that they could inform them of Yang Zhan's movements. But I don't know how long I waited, Hu Banweng saw a man with two knives coming along the road, and this person was Zhong Xinghan.

Although Hu Banweng didn't recognize him, when he saw that he was dressed as a person from the rivers and lakes, he hurriedly called out loudly. Zhong Xinghan stepped forward to take a look, but he couldn't express his joy, because he had been waiting for Hu Banweng on this road for a long time, it turned out that he was injured here, no wonder he failed to cross the border at the estimated time.

"Are you an iron rod Hu Banweng?" Zhong Xinghan asked with a smile.

Hu Banweng nodded, but said hurriedly: "Shaoxia, I just met the thief leader Yang Zhan, he is heading to Gusu, and I ask Shaoxia to quickly notify other martial arts colleagues......"

But before Hu Banweng's words were finished, Zhong Xinghan's bat knife had already slashed his throat.

Zhong Xinghan also heard that Yang Zhan was identified as the leader of the thieves of the Sword Gate, and at first he only thought it was funny, but later he also understood that there must be a hidden secret, so he thought about it all the way.

After the group of heroes separated in Lin'an, they left the capital one after another, but at dusk, Tie Shichan and others passed by here and found Hu Banweng on the road of corpses. Everyone looked at Hu Banweng on the snow in shock, and their first reaction was that he was killed by the thief Yang Zhan. Indeed, this technique is very similar to the death of the Zen Master, both of which are a knife to seal the throat.

Everyone immediately looked around vigilantly, but they were afraid that Yang Zhan would still hide nearby and catch them all. But Tie Shi Chan was finally an experienced person, and after carefully examining the blood stains on the wound, he found that this Hu Banweng should have been dead for half a day. It is unlikely that Yang Zhan has been waiting here in this cold wind.

But Hu Banweng was killed on the road, it was always a dangerous thing, and Yang Zhan did it at this moment, obviously to pay attention to killing everyone when they were on their own way. Where do people dare to take another half step forward?

Tie Shi Chan was also aware of such a danger, in fact, even if Yang Zhan didn't attack them, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't look for other knights to do it, so wouldn't those knights who were still on their way back be very dangerous?

Tie Shichan then arranged on the spot, one was to inform the knights from all walks of life to the east, and the rest of the people returned to Lin'an in situ and told Sima Chongcheng that Yang Zhan's whereabouts had been discovered.

After Yang Zhan and Hua Linglong walked for an hour, they dismounted at an intersection to rest, because there was not only a gazebo for passers-by to rest, but also a makeshift noodle shop to provide tea and snacks. The two of them had not eaten anything since they set out in the morning, and now that they had traveled for most of the day, they were naturally hungry, so they planned to take this opportunity to have a full meal.

Yang Zhan hurriedly dismounted, and then found a place to sit down. But Hua Linglong found that the four of them were all looking at Yang Zhan dumbfounded, but it seemed that everything stopped the moment he sat down.

Yang Zhan saw Hua Linglong's surprised expression, so he also raised his eyes and looked over, and then hesitated.

It turned out that the four or five people here were all knights from all walks of life who participated in the martial arts conference together before, and the one holding the white fan was not Zhou Xuanweng from Shanxi Baihetang?

Yang Zhan knew that these people were prejudiced against him for learning the Demon Breaking Knife Technique, so he ignored it, and instead beckoned Xiao Er to send a pot of hot tea and two plates of hot steamed buns.
