Chapter 5 Yanjing Rescues

There was nothing to say all night, and early in the morning of the second day, Liu Qingzhou and Lu Shisan picked up something and went straight to Yanjing City. Pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info this city was originally the place of the Liao people, after the Jin destroyed the Liao, Yanjing was handed over to the Song Dynasty, and when the Jin soldiers went south in the first year of Jingkang, they reoccupied the city. After several changes of hands, many people in the city ran away to escape the war, but it was difficult to give up their poor families and leave their homeland. After these four or five years have passed, many people have returned, and the Jin people have moved in a large number of people, and this Yanjing City has slowly recovered a lot.

When they arrived at the city gate, they paid the city gate tax, and the two entered the city, Lu 13 led Liu Qingzhou to find a place to sell the firewood, pheasant, and hare, and the two changed their clothes again, and Lu 13 put a handful of beards on his face, and then found an inn to live in. They pretend to be no different from ordinary travelers, going out during the day and returning in the evening, and in the eyes of others, there is nothing out of the ordinary. As everyone knows, during the day, they have walked all the roads in the city from the vicinity of the Wushu Mansion to the east gate and the south gate, whether it is the avenue or the small road and alley, Liu Qingzhou has carried out a careful investigation. At night, the two of them planned in the room and discussed how to save people.

Finally on the fifteenth day, early in the morning, Lu Shisan led Liu Qingzhou out of the West Gate, walked all the way, and came to Longquan Temple. The two of them pretended to be ordinary pilgrims, and they were incense stickers and donated sesame oil money. When the day was approaching, Lu Shisan gently poked Liu Qingzhou with his fingers, his eyes nodded to the door, Liu Qingzhou understood, looked over, and saw a woman of about forty years walking in with a maid less than twenty, both dressed in golden costumes, Liu Qingzhou lowered his head and asked softly: "Thirteenth brother, that grade is a little older is the nurse, right?" Lu Thirteen nodded and replied: "Yes, it is the nurse." Master Liu, let's not rush first, when the two of them finish the incense, they will inevitably go to the fast, and then call the nurse out. Liu Qingzhou nodded.

The two of them just looked around silently, and glanced at the nurse from time to time. At noon, a small novice came out and said to the pilgrims, "Donors, the abbot has prepared some vegetarian food, please come to the dining hall to fast." As soon as everyone heard this, they formed groups of three or five, and followed the little novice to the dining hall. After a few monks had recited the scriptures for a while, everyone went to fast, found a stool, and sat down to fast. Those who did not have a stool sat on the floor, and did not pay attention to it, but only ate their meals.

Lu 13 hurriedly finished eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks, slowly walked to the nurse's side, pretended to be careless, and fell, the nurse saw it, and hurriedly went to help her, the maid on the side didn't care, Lu 13 said softly: "Sister, I'm thirteen, come to the back mountain quickly." Then he hurriedly got up and said in a rough voice: "Thank you for this lady." "With that, he walked away.

After hearing this, the nurse was filled with joy and sorrow in her heart, and after thinking about it, she didn't show her face, and when the maid finished eating, the two walked out of the dining hall slowly. The maid asked, "Sister-in-law, do you still have to go to chant the scriptures today?" The nurse smiled and looked at the maid: "Zhi'er, when did we come here, didn't we all chant the scriptures with incense? How can you be out of the list today? You go to the Buddha Hall to wait for me first, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, I have to go to Gong first." Zhi'er nodded: "Okay, sister-in-law, go quickly, I'll go to the Buddha Hall to prepare things and wait for you." After saying that, he turned around and went to the Buddha hall. The nurse saw her go away and hurriedly ran to the back mountain.

Here Liu Qingzhou and Lu Shisan were waiting anxiously in the back mountain, only to see a person running out of the back door of the temple, it was the nurse. The two of them hurriedly stepped forward, and Lu Shisan shouted, "Eldest sister!" The nurse also saw the two, hurriedly rushed forward, and asked, "Thirteen, is it really you?" Lu Shisan ripped off his beard and said with a smile: "It's the little brother." Liu Qingzhou looked around: "Two, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the forest over there to talk in detail." The nurse looked at Liu Qingzhou suspiciously, and asked, "Who is this?" Lu Shisan replied: "Eldest sister, this is Liu Qingzhou, the head of Hengshan, Liu Daxia!"

Lu 13 said to the nurse: "Eldest sister, I finally fulfilled my mission and invited Master Liu, I know that you have limited time, let's make a long story short, I have already planned with Master Liu along the way, you listen to Master Liu first, and talk about it later." ”

The nurse nodded and looked at Liu Qingzhou. After Liu Qingzhou saw that the two of them finished speaking, he said: "What the sister-in-law wants to do is not difficult, I planned with the thirteen brothers, and on the night of the action, the sister-in-law will pack up the important things first, and then find a way to give this medicine to the two maids in the side room." As he spoke, he took out a small packet of medicine and handed it to the nurse: "This is just an ordinary **, to prevent them from being awakened when they hear our movements, and it will not harm their lives." The nurse took it and nodded.

Liu Qingzhou continued: "After the fourth watch, I will first climb over the wall and enter the back garden, and after making sure that it is safe, the thirteen brothers will follow in." After that, we will knock on the door six times as a code, and the sister-in-law must remember it clearly. Then we waited for the patrolling soldiers to pass, and then we climbed out of the wall. As for going out, we have to put on makeup first to prevent people we know from recognizing us. As soon as the morning dawns, he will leave the city immediately. By the time the Jin people found out, we were already dozens of miles away. However, there is one thing to ask the eldest sister. ”

The nurse replied, "Master Liu, please speak." Liu Qingzhou asked: "What are the changes in the mansion during this time?Is there any change in the night patrol?" The nurse thought about it carefully: "There has been no change, after Wushu came back from Huining Mansion a month ago, he came to see the little young master a few times, much less than before, and went to the barracks outside the city a lot more, and sometimes he still lived in the camp, and I don't know why." ”

Lu 13 was shocked: "Master Liu, I know, the golden dogs must be preparing to attack our Great Song Dynasty in the south again, after returning from Huining Mansion the last time, they also stayed in the barracks all night, and then after a few days, they led the troops south, this time it must be like this again!"

Liu Qingzhou nodded: "What the thirteen brothers said is indeed very likely, our Great Song may not be clear, without further ado, in this way, let's take a rest today and act tomorrow night." Lu 13 and the nurse responded in unison. "Sister-in-law, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, you go back quickly, don't make that maid suspicious. Liu Qingzhou said to the nurse again. The nurse responded, and Lu Shisan also said: "Eldest sister, then you go back quickly, tomorrow night at the fourth watch, let's see you again." ”

At that moment, the three of them broke up, and the nurse hurried back to the Buddhist hall and prevaricated the maid branches, the little maid did not know much about human feelings, and did not suspect anything.

Here, Liu Qingzhou and Lu Shisan quietly descended the mountain and returned to the inn in the city. While the two went down the mountain, Liu Qingzhou said: "Thirteen brothers, after we succeed tomorrow night, go out of the city, don't rush to the south, the golden dog found that Lu Xiaogongzi was missing, and he would inevitably think that he was going to return to the Central Plains in the south, and he would definitely go south to search carefully, so let's go west first, and then go south to Taiyuan in Datong, so that even if the golden dog lays a net, it is useless to us." Lu Shisan clapped his hands and said: "Master Liu has a good plan, we will definitely be able to succeed now!"

Early in the morning of the second day, the two pretended to go to play again, and returned at noon, closed the door and went to rest. Liu Qingzhou sat on the bed, slowly adjusted his internal breath, and thought about it carefully, and only after finding nothing wrong did he rest assured.

In the middle of the night, the two quietly slipped out of the inn and came to the east wall of the Wushu Mansion, Liu Qingzhou jumped lightly, turned into the wall, and brought Lu 13 in with a rope, Lu 13 led the way in front, and came to the door of the wing room without danger, Liu Qingzhou nodded to Lu 13, Lu 13 understood, walked forward, knocked lightly six times, there was a rush of footsteps in the room, the door "squeak" opened, the nurse hurriedly beckoned the two to enter the house, Liu Qingzhou looked out, did not find anything abnormal, closed the door. The nurse said in surprise: "Master Liu, everything is ready, you see ......" Liu Qingzhou waved his hand: "Don't worry, wait for the patrol to pass, let's go." The son of the Lu family, whose real name is Wenlong, was asleep, and he woke up at this moment, looking around with a pair of small black eyes suspiciously, Liu Qingzhou flashed to the front and clicked on his sleeping hole, turned his head and said: "Let him sleep well, wake up tomorrow, and tell him all this." The two nodded yes.

At this time, the nurse took out a sword and handed it to Liu Qingzhou: "Master Liu, this is the sword that the master cast before the city was broken, called 'Danxin', please keep it for the little master first, so that he can go into battle to kill the enemy and avenge the old lady." Liu Qingzhou took the Danxin sword, drew the sword out of the sheath, and saw that the cold was pressing, the edge was exposed, and it was a good sword, and then he tied the sword to his body.

At this time, the sound of patrolmen walking outside came, Liu Qingzhou hurriedly pressed the bodies of the two of them and made a silent movement, Lu Shisan and the nurse understood, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe. After about a quarter of an hour, there was no sound outside, Liu Qingzhou flashed to the door, listened attentively, confirmed that the soldiers had left, and then opened a crack in the door, and looked carefully, flashed out of the door, looked and looked, and then turned back and nodded to the nurse and Lu Shisan, and the two understood. At that moment, the nurse hugged Lu Wenlong, and Lu Shisan held the luggage and followed out the door.

The three of them walked lightly, and when they reached the base of the wall, Liu Qingzhou looked around, jumped up, climbed over the wall, and was about to throw down the rope to pull them up, but they saw that the fire in the garden was bright, and a large group of golden soldiers forced them to stop, and one of the leaders was the golden vulture!

The three of them were shocked, and Wushu smiled: "If it weren't for Mr. Nangong's discerning eyes like a torch today, he would have really let a few of you succeed." A black-robed and short-bearded man on the side bowed down and thanked: "The fourth prince is still strict in governing the army, if there is no footprint on the ground, how can he find it below?"

It turned out that when Liu Qingzhou and Lu Shisan climbed over the wall and entered, when Lu Shisan jumped off, they left a pair of footprints on the ground, and the two did not notice it at the time. When the patrolling soldiers passed by, they were seen by a soldier who came to pee on the wall, and the leader of the team was also angry, and first sent someone to tell Jin Wushu, and he led people to patrol normally, without alarming Liu Qingzhou and them.

Jin Wushu was discussing with people about going south to enter the army, and after listening to the soldier's report, the black-robed man on the side came up with an idea and ambushed him, just waiting for Liu Qingzhou and the three of them.

Lu Shisan reacted quickly, pulled out the dagger, put one hand against the neck of the nurse, and pressed the other hand on Lu Wenlong's neck, shouting: "Golden dog, don't mess around, otherwise I will kill this mother-in-law and slaughter this child again!" Liu Qingzhou also hurriedly dodged, jumped off the wall, came to Lu Shisan's side, pulled out his sword, and guarded the side. Seeing this, Jin Wushu shouted loudly: "Wu Na barbarian, don't hurt my son!"

The black-robed man on the side laughed: "With your three-legged cat kung fu, you dare to do it in front of my Nangong Xuan! The fourth prince don't worry, wait for me to rescue the little son!" Before the words fell, I saw Nangong Xuan flying with his palms and taking Lu Thirteen directly. When Liu Qingzhou heard that Nangong Zhan had reported to his family, he was also secretly shocked: "It turns out that 'Heavenly Sword' Nangong Zhan has already become a lackey of the Jin people! When he saw him pounce, he swung his sword and met him.

Nangong extinguished a pair of fleshy palms against Liu Qingzhou's sword, and the martial arts of the two were between the two of them, and for a while, no one could help anyone. One of the archers of the Jin soldiers here was hiding in the shadows, and while Lu Thirteen was defenseless, an arrow shot out from the side, Lu Thirteen was shot through the waist, screamed, and the dagger also fell and fell to the ground. The nurse had already understood when Lu Shisan held himself with a dagger, he planned to distract the attention of the vultures by himself, so that he would think that he and the little boy were being held hostage, so that even if he couldn't escape, at least he could save his and the little boy's lives.

As soon as Wushu saw that Lu 13 had been shot, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to bring the nurse and Lu Wenlong to his side. Lu Shisan spat blood, he was already more in and less breathing, and seeing that he couldn't live, he fought hard and shouted: "Sir, go quickly, leave me alone!" After speaking, he fell headlong, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

After listening to what Lu Shisan, Liu Qingzhou saw that the nurse and Lu Wenlong had been surrounded by Jin Bing, and knew that things were no longer possible, and Nangong Xuan's moves became more and more powerful. He secretly said in his heart: "If I delay any longer, I'm afraid that I will also be stuck here, it seems that I can only go first, and then find a chance to save them." "The sword move in his hand flew without delay.

Suddenly, Liu Qingzhou's long sword shook rapidly, and the people on the side couldn't see it clearly, like a flower, and as if there were countless sword shadows, stabbing at Nangong Xuan, this move is called "Spirit Sword Phantom Flower", which is one of the six most powerful moves in Hengshan swordsmanship. Nangong has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for nearly thirty years, but he has never seen this move, and he has a pair of fleshy palms, which is not easy to resist, so he hurriedly retreated, grabbed a soldier and threw it at Liu Qingzhou, avoiding this killing move. Liu Qingzhou saw that he had forced back Nangong Xuan, turned over, crossed the wall, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

Nangong Xuan couldn't catch up, and Wushu was calling him again, so he retreated. He bowed down and asked, "Fourth Prince, is the thief just letting him go?" Jin Wushu said: "Mr. Nangong, poor Kou Mo chases, not to mention that you don't have a blade with you, it seems that that person's martial arts are not weaker than you, and I am afraid that if you catch up, you will suffer." Come and see my son, why haven't you woken up?" At this time, Wushu was holding Lu Wenlong, and the nurse was kneeling aside, and several soldiers were holding knives to their necks, unable to move. Nangong Xuan walked closer and took a look: "Don't worry, the fourth prince, the little prince was just pointed, and I will untie it." As he spoke, he clicked his index finger and solved Lu Wenlong's acupoint, and Wushu saw that Lu Wenlong was unharmed, and then he was relieved.

At this time, his subordinates asked, "Fourth prince, what should I do with this woman?" Wushu glanced at the nurse and asked sharply: "What is going on today, if you tell the truth, this king can spare you from death for the sake of taking care of the prince in the past." Although the nurse is not afraid of death, but she wants to rescue Lu Wenlong, how can she die easily? Fortunately, the prince arrived in time, otherwise, the little boy and the old slave would have been killed by Lu Shisan, a traitor. ”

Wushu listened to the nurse's answer, and was puzzled, so he asked Nangong Xuan: "What does Mr. Nangong think?" Nangong Xuanshan stepped forward, pinched the nurse's arm, and with a "click" sound, the nurse's forearm was removed, and the nurse broke out in a cold sweat in pain, but she still didn't show her face, just kowtowed again and again. Seeing this, Nangong Zhen replied: "Fourth prince, presumably she is a little nurse, she will not have such courage, if the fourth prince is not at ease, I will end her." Wushu thought about it and shook his head at Nangong Xuan: "Forget it." Then he said to the nurse, "Forgive me for being a slave, and I can't do such a thing." Arise, then. This time, the king will not pursue it, and if there is any further mistake, he will definitely take you to blame!Come, add two more handmaidens to my son, and serve by my son's side day and night!"

Nangong Xuan connected the nurse's arm, and Wushu handed over the sleeping Lu Wenlong to the nurse, turned around and left with Nangong Xuan. The nurse hugged Lu Wenlong and watched the vultures go away, and only then did she let go of her heart. A few soldiers over there carried Lu Shisan's body away, and the nurse had tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to show anything unusual, after all, a few maidservants beside her were always staring at it.

Besides, Liu Qingzhou forced Nangong to retreat, crossed the wall, ran wildly, and when he approached the city gate, he found that there were no pursuers behind him, so he hurriedly hid his figure and returned to the inn.

On the morning of the second day, Liu Qingzhou changed his appearance and hid in the dark to observe the situation in the Wushu Mansion, only to see a team of soldiers pulling a car, and on the car was Lu Shisan's corpse. Liu Qingzhou followed all the way out of the city, until he arrived at the mass grave, where Jin Bing wrapped the corpse in a straw mat and threw it at will, then turned around and returned to the city.

When Liu Qingzhou saw it, he was afraid that it was the trick of the Jin people again, so he looked around, but did not find anything abnormal, and observed in the dark for an hour, but did not find anyone coming, so he dodged and came to the side. picked up Lu Shisan's body and quickly left the mass grave.

After running wildly for half a day, Liu Qingzhou walked dozens of miles to the south, and then he found a remote place, used a sword as a hoe, dug a big pit, buried Lu Shisan's body in it, and found a wooden board to engrave "The Tomb of the Thirteen Righteous Men of the Lu Family". Liu Qingzhou stood in front of the grave and said with a wry smile: "Thirteen brothers, you can go with peace of mind, you are a righteous man, Brother Lu entrusted his son to you, he is really a wise hero, Liu has the trust of Brother Lu and you." But please rest assured, Liu will definitely go again to rescue the son of the Lu family, and when the time comes, I will bring him to give you incense to comfort your soul in the sky. ”
