Chapter Seventy-Six: Parting with Words (Part II)

After reading the letter, Zhang Rumeng held the paper in his right hand and did not move, not knowing what he was thinking. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin were also very confused when they saw him reading a letter there, and there was no movement for so long a day. Zhang Linxin walked to Zhang Rumeng's side and shouted softly: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Rumeng raised his head, saw the eyes of his sister and Dugu Jian, barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and replied: "It's nothing, this is the letter that Rainbow left for me when she left." ”

"Oh, brother, what did Sister Rainbow say?" Zhang Linxin continued to ask. Zhang Rumeng put the letter away and replied: "It's nothing, it's just to thank us for being able to celebrate the New Year with her, she feels very happy and happy." By the way, she also told me that they haven't found the treasure map yet, but they already have some eyebrows. Brother Dugu and sister, it's been almost five months since the treasure map was lost, but we still haven't found the clue to the treasure map, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that it will really be preempted by the Five Colors Sect and the Golden People!"

Hearing this, Jian Xin and the two glanced at each other, nodded, and both understood each other's thoughts: "It seems that the Five Colors Sect is moving so fast!" Zhang Linxin said: "Brother don't worry, we have also found a lot of clues in this matter, originally we were going to Ezhou to meet Marshal Yue, if it wasn't for meeting my brother here, we would probably be on the way to find the treasure map at this time." When Zhang Rumeng heard this, he couldn't believe it, and hurriedly asked, "You already have a clue?"

Seeing Zhang Rumeng's impatient expression, Zhang Linxin told him about his and Dugu Jian's guesses. "Heavenly King Gang?" I have been walking the rivers and lakes for so long, and I really have never heard of this gang, I can't imagine that they have such a great ability to steal the treasure map from my father's hands, and their strength is really not to be underestimated! Zhang Linxin replied disappreciatively: "This group of thieves, if it weren't for the time when Daddy rushed to Wuyi Mountain to inform the old Liu seniors, how could they have been able to steal the treasure map!"

Dugu Jian said: "Brother Zhang, Lin'er, I actually have another doubt. You think, this matter is extremely secret, only my father, Zhang Shibo and Liu seniors know about it in the world, and my father was killed at that time in order to protect this picture, Zhang Shibo and Liu seniors were tight-lipped about this matter, and no one told them, how did the people of the Heavenly King Gang and the Five Color Sect know the whereabouts of the treasure map?"

The brother and sister were stunned, the three of them were not stupid, Dugu Jian asked such a question, and the powerful relationship in this came out immediately. And there is another point that Dugu Jian did not point out, that is, the flower thief on Bixia Island, they arrested Zhang Linxin for the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map", at that time, Liu Zhongyuan just brought the treasure map down the mountain and came to Lin'an to see Zhang Feng, where did they know that Liu Zhongyuan went down the mountain to find Zhang Feng, that is, handed over the treasure map to him?

After pondering for a while, but no one could think of it, Zhang Rumeng raised his head, looked at the two people who were still thinking and meditating, and said: "Don't think about this matter first, our top priority is to make sure that the treasure map is in the hands of the Heavenly King Gang, and then we must find a way to take the treasure map back and hand it over to Marshal Yue." As for other things, you can save it for later and check it slowly. ”

"What Brother Zhang said is true, only by taking the treasure map in his hands and making the Golden People and the Five Color Sect have no chance to take advantage of it, then it can be regarded as completing our mission!" Dugu Jian affirmed.

"Brother Dugu, let's go to Ezhou to see if Marshal Yue has any useful news. Zhang Linxin said. Dugu Jian nodded, and Zhang Rumeng said: "Since this is the case, then I will take the first step and go to Dongting Lake to have a look, maybe I can get some other useful clues." ”

The three of them had already made a decision, and Jian Xin and the two went to Yue Fei first to see if there were any discoveries, while Zhang Rumeng rushed to the area of Dongting Lake to investigate first. As for Nangong Rainbow, Zhang Rumeng didn't think about it so much at this time, because he had already decided, and when all this was done, he would go to her again, because there was still a real break between them.

Early in the morning of the seventh day of the first day of the new year, the three of them were separated at the mountain pass, and the two of Jian Xin were going to go south to Ezhou along the main road, while Zhang Rumeng was planning to go southwest to Dongting Lake through Suizhou. Zhang Lin wanted to give the horse to Zhang Rumeng, but Zhang Rumeng refused, saying that she would go to Jin Ren to get a horse, and the girl couldn't persuade her brother to do so, so she could only tell him to be more careful.

After separation, Zhang Rumeng went to Suizhou along the mountain road, and Jian Xin and the two hurried to Ezhou City. Along the way, they passed through Lishan and passed through Xiaochang, and in less than two days, they came to the Yuejia army camp under the Yellow Crane Mountain outside Ezhou City.

The guards guarding the door had already been explained by Yue Fei, and when they heard that it was Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin who were coming, they didn't dare to slack off, so they ordered someone to take the reins and lead the horse to graze. At this time, Yue Fei probably had just returned from the training ground, and the armor on his body had not yet been replaced, and his cloak was still stained with a lot of dust. As soon as I heard that it was Kenshin and the two arrived, I didn't bother to wash my face and wipe my hands, so I went out of the tent to greet them.

The three of them sat down in the tent and exchanged pleasantries, Yue Fei first expressed his gratitude for asking the beggars to help Zhou Dalai deliver the message, and then said that it was really happy to wipe out the Jin Kingdom in the Ezhou area. Zhang Linxin felt a little regretful that she didn't know Nangong Xuan's life and death, and Yue Fei also knew that she was still thinking about Zhang Feng's great hatred, so she was relieved, believing that even if she didn't kill him this time, it would definitely hurt him a lot, and sooner or later there would still be a chance. Kenshin agrees with both of them. After saying that, we get straight to the point.

Dugu Jian was the first to ask: "Marshal, we originally planned to come over a year ago, but we were delayed by some things, so it was delayed until now. I don't know what the investigation of the Heavenly King Gang has?" Yue Fei shook his head, "I'm ashamed to say that, after you left, I immediately repaired a book and sent it to Cheng Zhifu, who was also very cooperative and sent people around to investigate, but for more than ten days, I didn't get any useful news, not even rumors." Later, I wondered if I was paying too much attention to the Dingzhou area, although it was the nest of Yang Qi and others, but after being exterminated, it was very likely that they would hide somewhere else, so I sent letters to the prefects of Yueyang and Tanzhou, asking them to secretly send people to investigate, but until now, there is still no news. ”

"How can this be?" Marshal, could it be that someone below didn't report it and deliberately concealed it?" Zhang Linxin asked directly. "Lin'er!" Dugu Jian hurriedly drank the girl's words, but Yue Fei didn't care, waved his hand and continued: "In the past few days after the year, I have also had this kind of speculation, but after thinking about it, Cheng Zhifu They did not hide my need, he fought with the Dongting Lake bandits back then, and almost died, there was such a holiday, he hated these people even more, how could he help them? Therefore, three days ago, I sent two generals, Wang Zuo and Yang Qin, to Dongting Lake, they were originally Yang Qi's subordinates, just because of their loyalty, abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, followed the commander to fight in the Quartet, and also made a lot of contributions. They are familiar with the inside story of the lake bandits, and they believe that they will be able to find out some useful information. ”

"Since this is the case, then the marshal, we will also rush over and help the two generals. Zhang Lin said eagerly. Dugu Jian naturally will not object, he has been down the mountain for five months, and he also misses the junior brothers and sisters on the mountain very much, and I don't know how they have been doing recently? Dongting Lake is not too far from Hengshan, if you ride a fast horse, you can catch a round trip in three or four days. Originally, he and Zhang Linxin planned to go back to Hengshan for the New Year, but they happened to encounter Zhang Rumeng's injury, so they were delayed. He also wanted to go back at the moment to see the junior brothers and sisters on the mountain. (To be continued.) )
