It only takes one or two days to travel from the county seat of Ningxian to the yamen of the Criminal Department in Shangjing, and it will take about four or five days to return after the document is approved.

Yue Fan had been in the iron prison for two days, and during this time, he had not been selfless in his cultivation as before, but had been accompanying the old man next door, and only began to cultivate after he had rested.

"I remember another very dangerous time, a small pair of Japanese robbers sneaked into the city from the coast, disguised as ordinary people, to inquire about the military situation. At that time, I sent the eyeliner in the city to find out and arrest them all, and it took many methods to learn from him that a large number of their reinforcements were coming. So a few brothers and I set up traps and oil along the road, and in the end, we killed them without leaving a piece of armor, so it was not happy! Haha......

Later, we pursued them until the sea, and then we annihilated them all. But at this moment, the ship was blown up, and several brothers were directly blown up on the ship, and although I was lucky enough not to die, I was trapped in the middle of the ship, and there was nothing with me except a raft......

Two days later, they drifted to an isolated island. But this place is desolate, and there are not even a single bird or beast......

I spent five days on the island before my subordinates found me......"

......

Yue Fan listened carefully to every story told by Li Yun, not only greatly increased his knowledge, but also learned many things that he had not touched before: survival at sea, rescue on isolated islands, mentality during battle, and psychological changes of the enemy, etc. However, what interests me the most is the method of killing the formation on the battlefield, such as the Eight Formation Diagram, the Seven Killing Array, the Star Scattering Array, the Mandarin Duck Array, etc., which is very different from the traps used in hunting, which makes him feel that he has benefited a lot and is very inspired by the trap technique.

Li Yun can be said to be experienced and experienced on the battlefield, Yue Fan listened and asked for advice, like a sponge, he kept absorbing this knowledge, writing it down if it was useful, and throwing it aside if it was useless.

......

―――――――――――― the small thatched hut on the hillside, Li Tanzuo sharpened the wooden arrow with a dagger on the bed, and muttered in his heart: "It's been three days since Xiao Fan left, even if he was left by Su Lao for the New Year, he should come back now, there shouldn't be any accidents." ”

Two days ago, Xiao Ya'er came to him and asked him if Yue Fan had brought the osmanthus cake back, but later saw that Yue Fan had not come back, so he ran away angrily, making him confused.

So many days have passed, but Yue Fan has not returned, he knows that Yue Fan is a sensible child, and he will not leave for a long time without saying hello like this. Since the last time he cultivated for a month without making a sound, Yue Fan had promised not to let his father worry like this, but now that there was no news for three days, how could he not be worried. Even if Yue Fan performed very well in all aspects, in Li Tan's eyes, he was still only a fifteen-year-old child after all.

The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, and when I was uneasy, "Squeak!" and the knife cut the index finger of my left hand, and the blood dripped quietly on the ground, Li Tan frowned, put his finger in his mouth, and got up and walked outside the house.

"Master Li, Master Li! Oh no, no, Brother Yue Fan has an accident...... As soon as he went out, he heard someone shouting.

Li Tan's heart was shocked, and a strong uneasy premonition came up. So he hurriedly stepped forward.

The person who came was Xiao Tear of Su Ji Teahouse, Li Tan had met him a few times, and he naturally recognized it. "Hello Master Li, Master Su asked me to make a special trip to find you......"

Li Tan waved his hand and interrupted: "Tell me directly, what happened to Xiaofan, what happened now." ”

The little guy hurriedly said: "Brother Yue Fan was arrested by the people of the Yamen, there is no danger, but I heard that he will be confiscated." ”

Li Tan heard that his child was not in danger for the time being, and his hanging heart was also relieved, so he dropped the work in his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the teahouse in the city first." After saying that, he hurried down the mountain, and the poor little guy had just climbed up but wanted to go down, but he still reluctantly followed.

Li Tan's speed was amazing, and he rushed to the city quickly, but the little guy's physical strength had long been used up, and he couldn't walk anymore, so he gasped and said, "Master Li... You go first... I'll just go back myself. ”

Seeing this, Li Tan immediately fell back, didn't say anything, carried him on his shoulders, and continued to rush forward quickly.

......

In Ningxian County, in the inner hall of Suji Teahouse, the little girl was pale and said weakly: "Master...... Li Ye came to ...... and wanted to talk, but his mind was dizzy, and he felt like vomiting in his heart, and he couldn't say anything. However, I secretly swore in my heart that I would never let Li Tan carry it on my shoulders in the future.

Hearing this, Su Fanghao hurriedly came out of the back hall, and said to the little servant with a relaxed expression: "You go down to rest first, it's really hard for you." After speaking, the little guy hurriedly retired and left, leaving only Li Tan and Su Fanghao in the hall.

Li Tan's son was heartbroken, so he hurriedly asked, "Old Su, what happened to Xiao Fan, what is going on?"

Su Fanghao pulled Li Tan to sit down and said, "Don't worry, Xiaofan is not in danger now, sit down and talk about it." ”

"In the past few days, everyone here has been discussing a white-haired teenager, and I found out that something happened to Xiaofan when I inquired. Three days ago, after Xiao Fan left me, he went to Dongjie ......" and then clearly recounted the events of the day.

"Smack!" slapped the palm on the table, and the squaking table swelled. Li Tan stood up suddenly, his fists clenched, and the cold light in his eyes flashed with anger: "These bastards, is there really no royal law?"

It was the first time for Su Fanghao to see Li Tan making such a big fire, he was stunned for a moment, and then reassured: "Li Tan, let's dissipate our anger first, let's think about it in the long run." ”

Li Tan also felt that at this time, he should stay calm, so he sat down again and asked, "Can we go to Kyoto to file a complaint?" ”

Su Fanghao shook his head and said, "I have been in this city for several years, and I know the situation here relatively well. As far as I know, Ningxian County is a place under the joint jurisdiction of several imperial court forces, and the relationship between the powerful and powerful is very complicated.

This is a treasure gathering place for several major forces in the court, there are many rich people, and they are protected by the power of the imperial court, as long as you have more money, the safer you are. So they will never deal with these rich people for such a trivial matter. Even if you can sue Kyoto, there is chaos in the DPRK and China, and it is basically impossible to sue. Alas!" he sighed heavily.

Li Tan pondered for a moment and asked, "Now how are they going to sentence Xiao Fan's crime?" If they ask for money, I will find a way." ”

Su Fanghao shook his head and said, "They are ready to sentence Xiao Fan to serve in the army for four years and go to the border to do hard labor." If it's just money, that's not a problem, I still have some savings here. But although their sentence is not very heavy, it is not money that can solve the problem. Especially here, there are also the young masters of the Cai family and the sons of the Zhao family. ”

Li Tan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his face was angry, and the anger in his heart could no longer be expressed in words. After trying to control his emotions, he asked, "Is there any other way to save Xiaofan?"

Su Fanghao thought about it, but still shook his head and said, "Unless the young master of the Cai family and the son of the Zhao family are willing to let Xiao Fan go, there is really no other way to think about it." ”

Li Tan snorted coldly: "If they refuse to let Xiao Fan go, then I will rob the prison, and it's a big deal that we will fly away." ”

Su Fanghao hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't be so impulsive, if you fail, then you and Xiaofan will be sentenced to death." Even if you can rescue Xiao Fan, what if you really want to live that kind of outlaw life? I think it's better to wait until I see Xiao Fan, even if I plan for the worst, he will come back four years after being conscripted, it's better than the end of the outlaw. You've got to think about it!"

Li Tan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Yes, Xiaofan is still so young, if he is destined to die in the world, then how can I be worthy of his dead mother." Why am I so impulsive now. "In fact, people have feelings, and if you can maintain your usual calm when you see your relatives have an accident, you will really become an immortal.

calmed down the anger in his heart, and then said calmly: "Thank you Su Lao for reminding me, I should be more calm at this time, otherwise how can I save Xiaofan." Let's find a way to meet Xiaofan first and then make plans. ”

Su Fanghao nodded and said: "If you can think like this, then I can rest assured, go, first go to the yamen to see Xiaofan." ”

......

Outside the ―――――――――――― Yamen, Li Tan and Su Fanghao stood outside the door for a long time, but no one paid attention to them. It was Su Fanghao who used some silver to 'buy the road' before it was able to reach the prefect.

In the side hall of the yamen, Li Tan and Su Fanghao sat on the side and waited, put the tea in their hands and put it down, very anxious.

......

"Oh, isn't this the boss Su of Su Ji Teahouse? Why do you have time to come to me? The prefect walked out of the inner hall with a smile on his face.

Su Fanghao got up and arched his hand and said: "The prefect is polite, the grass people came today to ask for something, and I hope the adults can help more." After finishing speaking, he took out a few silver tickets from his big sleeve and stuffed them into the hands of the prefect.

When the prefect looked at it, he said secretly: "Six silver tickets, one hundred taels each, this is definitely not a small amount." It seems that what Boss Su is asking for must be a little troublesome. So he pushed his hand and said: "Boss Su, if you have something, just say it, if I can help, I will naturally not refuse." The implication is that his ability is limited, and some things may not be helpful, so it is better not to collect this money first, so as not to be embarrassed.

Su Fanghao also understood, so he took his hand back and said with a smile: "My lord is really refreshing, then I'll say it directly." The day before yesterday, there was a white-haired boy on the street who made trouble, and then he was locked up by the yamen, I wonder if the adults have any impression of this?"

The prefect was stunned and puzzled: "There is such a thing, but what does this have to do with you?"

Su Fanghao pointed to Li Tan and introduced: "This is my best friend, named Li Tan, who is the father of the white-haired boy." ”

Li Tan stepped forward and saluted: "Li Tan, the grass people, is the father of Li Yuefan, and he has seen the prefect. ”

Only then did the prefect notice Li Tan on the side, looked up and down, and said in his heart: "This person is dark-skinned and dressed in a hunting suit, he looks energetic, but his face is very similar to Li Yuefan, but he is much more resolute than Li Yuefan, and he looks much stronger than his son." Thinking of Li Yuefan being so fierce when he made a fuss in court, and looking at his father's current image, he thought that Li Tan's destructive power would definitely not be worse than that of his son. When I thought of this, my heart suddenly became nervous.

The prefect looked puzzled: "Li Yuefan, what he offended was that both of them were powerful people, and they said hello to treat Li Yuefan's crimes, and I couldn't afford to offend, so you better go back, I can't help you." "If it had been the prefect's attitude, it wouldn't have been so good.

"But ......" Li Tan was about to speak, Su Fanghao immediately interjected and said: "Don't be embarrassed, adults, we don't mean anything else, Li Tan and I just want to visit Xiaofan, and we will never cause trouble to adults, I hope adults can be accommodating." After saying that, he stuffed the silver ticket just now.

The prefect looked straight at the silver ticket, and said secretly in his heart: "Anyway, the two sons just want to cure that kid's sin, and they don't allow others to visit, even if they are known, they won't blame me." ”

Seeing that the prefect was silent, Su Fanghao took out six more silver tickets and handed them over. The prefect suddenly smiled, and said in his heart: "This surnamed Su is really sensible, but don't be in vain, haha......." ”

"Boss Su is too polite, although I can't help Little Brother Li, but I can still help you with this little favor, hehe...... "Eating people with soft mouths and short hands, accumulating money and currying favor on both sides, this is the standard way of corrupt officials."

Seeing the prefect's expression, Su Fanghao scolded in his heart, but he still said politely: "Then there is Master Lao." ”

......

―――――――――――― the iron prison, Li Yun kept telling Yue Fan about the formation changes and battle situation on the battlefield like a teacher...... While he was in the mood to speak, Yue Fan suddenly stood up and looked at the prison door.

Li Yun was stunned for a moment, seeing Yue Fan behaving like this, he knew that something must have happened, so he asked curiously, "Xiao Fan, what happened?"

"Three people came in, two of them, one was my father and the other was Grandpa Su. ”

Li Yun said unexpectedly: "This can also be heard?!hehe! It seems that your relatives have come to see you, and it would be great if I could take you out." ”

Yue Fan shook his head lightly and said, "I will stay here with you." ”

Li Yun was stunned, his heart was full of emotion, of course he knew that Yue Fan stayed to accompany him through the last few days. "Alas!" sighed and said, "I know your intentions, but if you can get out, leave it, you have to leave sooner or later." ”

Yue Fan didn't answer, but there was a positive answer in his eyes.

......

After a while, the cell door was opened, and the jailer said, "Come in, only half an hour, finish early and leave early." ”

After Li Tan came in, he found that this place was not as bad as he imagined, and he was relieved in his heart, but when he saw that his child was in tatters and his white hair was unkempt, his heart suddenly became sour.

Yue Fan stood straight, and when he saw his father coming in, the words came to his lips, but he didn't know how to speak, so he just looked at it quietly.

Li Tan also stood there quietly, looking at his child and not knowing what to say.

Su Fanghao saw that there was no way to go on like this, so he coughed dryly twice and said, "Xiaofan, we all know about you, and we are trying to find a way to save you." ”

Yue Fan said apologetically: "Thank you, Grandpa Su, have I caused you a lot of trouble?"

Li Tan waved his hand and said, "You're not wrong. Don't regret your mistakes, we should plan for the future now. Seeing that his child was fine, he regained his composure as a hunter.

Su Fanghao said: "We have probed the prefect's tone, this time you offended the powerful, unless they can let you go, it is very difficult to save you, so you must also have a plan." ”

Yue Fan said: "It's nothing to be in the army for four years, it should be regarded as a kind of exercise." Just ......"

"Don't say it, I know what you're trying to say. Li Tan interrupted: "Xiaofan, if you don't want to go, I will find a way to rescue you, even if you die in the world." The firmness of his tone made Yue Fan's heart tremble.

"Dad, Mr. Wan and Xiaoya still need someone to take care of them, and we can't leave them behind. ”

Li Tan was silent...... For a moment, the prison became quiet.

Su Fanghao broke the sinking and said: "Xiaofan, let's get used to it here, did they torture you." ”

Yue Fan smiled and said, "I live here very well, and the food here is much better than at home." ”

"Touch!" Li Tan knocked him hard, and said angrily: "Then you can stay here for the rest of your life." ”

Suddenly, the atmosphere became no longer heavy, and it eased a lot.

"Haha......" Li Yun smiled: "My old man hasn't seen such a warm scene for a long time." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Yue Fan hurriedly introduced: "This old man is Grandpa Li Yunli, who has not only taken care of me these days, but also taught me a lot of things. ”

Li Tan immediately walked over and saluted, "Thank you." ”

Li Yun shook his head and said: "Hehe, this kid is too modest, thanks to him for taking care of me and accompanying me these days, otherwise my old bones would have been scattered a long time ago." ”

......

After a while, Li Tan and Su Fanghao left, but Li Tan was unwilling and said secretly: "There are still a few days to go, and then think of a way." ”

After Li Tan and the others left, Li Yun said, "You have a good father!"

"Well, dad has always been my pride. Yue Fan said proudly.

......

―――――――――――― (evening) ......

After getting out of prison, Li Tan said goodbye to Su Fanghao, he was going to go to Cai's house, this Cai family is really a huge rich person in Ningxian County, and his reputation is so loud that he doesn't know anyone who asks casually. Asked all the way, and soon found the Cai family's mansion.

This Cai Tuo is really rich, two huge brass lions in front of the door are guarded on both sides, and a golden flat forehead is hung on the door beam of gold lacquered mahogany, and the word "Cai Tuo" is extraordinary.

Li Tan didn't care about these things, and when he saw the word "Cai Tuo" on the door beam, he was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door.

...... After a while, a young man in green clothes came to open the door.

The little guy looked the person knocking on the door up and down, and found that it was a hunter, so he said lazily: "Who are you?

Li Tan arched his hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am Li Tan, the Orion of Liushui Village, and I am asking to see your Young Master Cai." ”

"Yo, you old countryman still wants to see our young master, go and go, our young master is receiving distinguished guests and has no time to pay attention to you. With that, he wanted to close the door.

Li Tan stepped forward and blocked the door, and said politely: "I really have an urgent matter to ask to see your young master, please convey it." ”

Seeing that the other party dared to come hard, the little guy glared angrily: "Hey, what do you want to do, if you do this again, I'm going to call someone, and don't blame me for beating you down when the time comes." ”

Li Tan's face was cold, and he looked at this little guy coldly, and the little guy suddenly became nervous in his heart, and stammered: "You... Don't mess around, I... I'm really calling people......" said in a cold sweat.

"Breaking in like this now might mess things up, so I'd better find another way. Li Tan made a plan in his heart, so he took his hand back and turned to leave.

It's dark (it's dark)......

Li Tan walked out of the corner of the street and sneaked in from the alley on the side of Cai Chuan. Cai Zhuan's courtyard wall was quite high, but it was nothing to Li Tan, and he climbed it up in three or two clicks.

There are generally a lot of guards to this kind of mansion, and there are many masters in them. Li Tan was definitely not an impulsive person, so he had been observing the situation around Cai Zhuan, and only started to act when it was dark.

On the wall, Li Tan carefully observed the surrounding situation. An excellent hunter is definitely better than the average master in the dark of night.

After a while, Li Tan carefully drew down from the corner of the wall, and immediately hid in the dark corner. After observing for a while, Li Tan began to walk forward.

This mansion is also big enough, there are many houses, but fortunately, Li Tan already has a plan. A rich and noble family like this is definitely just starting to eat at this time, plus the news I heard from the little guy just now. He can be sure that as long as he can find a place to eat, he will definitely be able to meet the young master of the Cai family.

Li Tan's nose was unusually sensitive, and although Cai Zhuanzhong had mixed fragrances, he could still distinguish the aroma of wine and food.

During the Chinese New Year, the weather was extremely cold, and basically except for the necessary guards, the other nursing homes did not come out to walk around, so Li Tan basically did not encounter danger all the way, but gently avoided a few guards and a few subordinates.

Cai Zhuan lobby is now splendid, singing and dancing. Li Tan could easily find out, after avoiding the guards on duty, he quietly sneaked under the window on the side of the hall, and was about to look up, but he was alert in his heart, and immediately hid in the dark corner of the grass, restrained his breath, and even closed his eyes.

As soon as he closed his eyes, suddenly a figure flew up to the roof of the hall and looked around. "Hey, could it be that I feel wrong? Otherwise, who would have such a good light skill and be able to leave silently under my nose. Out of affirmation of his martial arts, this person still believes that he feels wrong.

In fact, it wasn't that he didn't expect someone to hide under the house, but he didn't believe that someone could restrain his aura at such a close distance and escape his spiritual search. This may be a manifestation of the master's confidence in his own experience.

Li Tan's breathing technique was based on years of hunting and learning from all kinds of beasts, not only could he hold his breath, but also control the contraction of his muscles and the beating of his heart, although he persisted for a short time, but it saved his life many times, including this time.

After the alertness in his heart disappeared, he did not get up, but slowly moved towards the window, and without looking up to peep, he squatted under the window and listened carefully to the situation in the hall. But the music in the hall was so noisy that he couldn't hear anything at all, and Li Tan couldn't help frowning.

......
