Chapter 19 Strange Dust 5

When the ghost third aunt said the word 'I', she suddenly stopped, glanced at Xiao Yao and saw that he didn't seem to be paying attention, so she continued: "I was sent to the Star River Valley by the disciples of the Beggar Gang to find me, but before I could make a move, the old Shi gang leader was already angry. ”

"So it is not an exaggeration to say that Shi Wanjia, the leader of the beggar gang in the previous generation, can be said to have been beaten to death by Jiang Jingzhong, this matter has been many years, so many years have passed, Jiang Jingzhong's skills will only be more profound, so let's say that today's beggar gang leader Gu Youdao, in terms of martial arts alone, I am afraid that it is far less than Shi Wanjia back then. ”

"After you know these things, are you still going to go to Zhangzhou?"

Xiao Yao didn't expect that the beggar gang leader Shi Lao really died at the hands of Jiang Jingzhong, and before Shi Wanjia died, the beggar gang disciple also took him to find his uncle, the ghost and the third aunt.

If Jiang Jingzhong had the strength to defeat Shi Wanjia a few years ago, Jiang Jingzhong's skills must have been more advanced after so many years, and it would definitely be more difficult for him and the Golden Gate Lord to go to Zhangzhou to rescue Jin Hanya.

As if thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yao finally spoke: "Okay, Uncle Shi, I'll send you back to Star River Valley first." ”

The ghost third aunt was relieved to hear Xiao Yao say this, but she also had an inexplicable sigh in her heart, and said: "Xiao Yao, your talent is extraordinary, and your future is limitless, I think it won't take a few years for your martial arts to surpass that gelding, and maybe even better than your master......"

Xiao Yao waited for the ghost third aunt to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, you misunderstood, since you know the strength of the big traitor, your nephew knows that this trip to Zhangzhou must be very dangerous, so I am ready to send you back to the Star River Valley first, so that you don't have to worry about going with the Lord of the Golden Gate." ”

The third ghost aunt stared at her and said, "Knowing that you can't do anything, do you still want to go?"

Seeing Xiao Yao's resolute eyes, the ghost third aunt knew that his mind might not change, and suddenly sighed and said, "Okay, since Xiao Yao insists on going, then the old woman will also go with you." ”

No matter what kind of words the ghost third aunt said before, even if it mentioned the defeat of Shi Wanjia under Jiang Jingzhong, Xiao Yao did not change color in the slightest, and then he heard that the ghost third aunt wanted to go with him, but he was terrified and said: "Uncle, this is impossible to !!."

The ghost third aunt said unhappily: "What, then Xiao Yao in Zhangzhou, you can go, and my ghost wife can't go?"

Xiao Yao said: "Uncle Shi, the line in Zhangzhou is extremely sinister, as you said, Jiang Jingzhong, a traitor, has countless henchmen who are extremely skilled in martial arts, and the master of the Golden Gate can ignore his own life and death, but how can he affect his uncle, not to mention that Uncle Shi's medical Tao is the best in the world, but his martial arts are not his strengths." ”

The ghost third aunt said: "Hmph, are you afraid that my wife and I will not be able to make it difficult for you?"

Xiao Yao said anxiously: "Senior nephew is just afraid that you will have any damages, uncle." ”

The ghost third aunt looked at his eager appearance and knew that he confided his true feelings, so she said slowly: "Okay, okay, the old woman is not without reason to go with you this time, there is a beggar gang auditorium master Fang Baishi, and then there is a Liangmen master Jin Yuliang, these two people have been hit by the Xuanyuan family's Xuanyuan five poisons, and they are both under the hands of Dongchang." ”

Xiao Yao said, "Uncle Shi, what do you mean?"

Ghost Sangu nodded and said: "There is definitely a medical Dao master in the East Factory to help, and this person is very likely to have a deep relationship with the Qihuangmen of Huanglong Mountain, you must know that such a treasure as the Xuanyuan Five Poisons, even the disciples of the Qihuangmen Inner Gate don't know much, let alone modulate Chiyou." ”

Xiao Yao just wanted to say that Xuanyuan Aoki, the Hundred Virtues Divine Doctor, would never help the abuse, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that the four words Xuanyuan Aoki had always been a taboo for the master and the ghost aunt, and whenever someone mentioned this person in front of the ghost aunt, it would cause the ghost aunt to go crazy inexplicably.

I heard the ghost third aunt continue: "What's more, just because the three of you want to rescue that golden girl from thousands of Dongchang troops and Jiang Jingzhong's men, it can be said that there is no half point, but with more old women and me, I may have a few more chances of winning." ”

This sentence is irrefutable, after all, the living example of Kaiyuan Temple is there, if there is no dream incense refined by the ghost Sangu to help, Gu Youdao would have only attacked Kaiyuan Temple at that time, not to mention whether he can defeat the eunuchs in the temple, even if he wins, he will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Xiao Yao told Jin Yuliang, the master of Liangmen, the news that the three aunts of the uncle and the ghost were also going to Zhangzhou together, and Jin Yuliang was naturally surprised and happy when he learned about it.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Rewind to a few days ago.

Xiao Yao rescued Zhang Jingxiu from Kaiyuan Temple not long after.

Nan Tianba took people back to the Scripture Pavilion.

It's just that at this time, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was already empty, and Liu Yishou and the other five brocade guards were all fascinated by Xiao Yao with a dream-like incense, and the picture in his mind was still not long after Nan Tianba left the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and he didn't even know what happened in Kaiyuan Temple.

And Gu Youdao and others, who feinted to the west of Kaiyuan Temple, received Xiao Yao's summons and quickly withdrew.

At this time, Nan Tianba knew that he had fallen into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he didn't care about sending people to fight the fire, so he hurriedly ordered all the people and horses to pursue Gu Youdao and other heroes.

Although Nan Tianba didn't know who rescued Zhang Jingxiu, he connected with the farce of thunder and rain in the west of Kaiyuan Temple, and knew with his toes that the person who robbed Zhang Jingxiu in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion must have an inseparable connection with the people who attacked the west at night.

It is not easy to track down the lost Zhang Jingxiu, but it is not difficult to catch up with the rebels who are in rebellion in the west, after all, even if it is late at night, hundreds of people will definitely leave a lot of hands and tails.

And waiting at the east gate of Kaiyuan Temple, Ban Hansheng, also gradually discovered the strangeness of the matter, although the west of Kaiyuan Temple was full of fire, but after a long time, the shouting and killing sound did not become louder, but gradually weakened, and even the fire did not spread.

When Ban Hansheng sent his guards to the west to check, he learned that the thieves had retreated, but Zhang Jingxiu, who was imprisoned in the Scripture Pavilion, was also robbed.

This surprise is not small, although Ban Han was promoted to the prince, but this time the plan to use Zhang Jingxiu to lead out the Jiangnan Chaos Party was set by Jiang Jingzhong, who is powerful all over the world, and Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Wanli today.

In a hurry, he didn't have time to hold Nan Tianba accountable, so on the one hand, he asked his guards to chase after him, and on the other hand, he asked people to take his warrant to order the armament of Fuzhou.

The fire in the Kaiyuan Temple attracted the attention of the Fuzhou prefect, but now the local military affairs are in ruins, and it is late at night, and the Fuzhou prefect is busy gathering local military horses and preparing to go out of the city to support.

Ban Wangye's personal guards have already arrived with Ban Wangye's token.

According to the instructions of Ban Wangye, he temporarily took over this army, and used a flying pigeon to inform the military station stationed in the south of Fuzhou City, and mobilized a cavalry of 200 people.

If you want to move together from the southeast and south, it is best to force Gu Youdao and others to the north, and then you can gather with Jiang Jingzhong's army and annihilate them.

It's a pity that Ban Hansheng and Nan Tianba didn't expect that the news that Jiang Jingzhong's army was heading south had already been known to Xiao Yao.

Gu Youdao led the Jiangnan heroes to abandon the deserted garden outside Fuzhou City, but did not evacuate to the north as they wished, but first set up an ambush in the south, killing all the 200 cavalry sent by the military station in the south of Fuzhou City, and then turned to the Daiyun Mountain Range in the west of Fuzhou City, and found a barren mountain to hide.

Nan Tianba led his troops to follow the traces left by Gu Youdao and others after attacking the west side of the Yuan Temple, and traced them all the way to the deserted garden outside Fuzhou City.

However, at this time, the deserted garden was already empty, and Nan Tianba naturally got nothing.

Seeing the traces of the brigade left outside the deserted garden extending to the south, Nan Tianba was overjoyed, he knew that the prince had sent someone to notify the military station in the south of Fuzhou to send troops, but he was worried that those rebels would break through the barrier or be defeated and dispersed, so he hurriedly led people to chase after him to the south.

But when Nan Tianba led people to the place where Gu Youdao set up an ambush, there were only two hundred corpses of officers and soldiers left, as well as a few seriously injured military horses, and nothing else.

When Nan Tianba led people to chase after him to the south, he gradually lost the traces of Gu Youdao and others.

Where did he think that Gu Youdao deliberately ordered people to leave traces to the south, but in fact, he went to the Daiyun Mountains in the west of Fuzhou City after joining up with the heroes of Jiangnan.

As for the traces left by everyone when they traveled west, Hu Yifei had already led his horse thief brothers to clean them up.

Nan Tianba, who did not give up, chased forward for a while, knowing that the sky was white and still did not make the slightest gain, knowing that this time he escaped from Zhang Jingxiu, who was going to commit the crime, and destroyed the plan of Master Jiang, the factory father, and he was afraid that he would be unable to escape the blame.

Even if Lord Ban Wangye was willing to spare him a lot, Jiang Jingzhong would definitely not be able to pass that level, thinking of the ruthlessness of Jiang Jingzhong's methods rumored, he couldn't help but tremble.

After thinking about it again and again, I knew that if I didn't run at this time, it would be difficult to get away once I returned to Fuzhou.

With a sharp turn of mind, he forcibly calmly divided the soldiers and horses behind him into several groups, pointed in a few directions and let these soldiers chase after him, but waited until he commanded the last royal army around him.

The leading officer refused to accept the order, but said coldly: "General Qiyu, before leaving, I have to tell the prince that this pursuit of the anti-party is of great importance, and the general must not be let out of sight." ”

Hearing this officer's words, Nan Tianba's heart was already half cold, because what this officer said was not that he was ordered to protect Nan Tianba, but that he was ordered not to let Nan Tianba out of sight.

The meaning of this could not be more obvious, if Nan Tianba can bring someone to arrest Zhang Jingxiu back, then naturally everyone will be happy, and the prince will not punish him Nan Tianba, but if Nan Tianba gets nothing.

Then the responsibility for dereliction of duty and getting away from the recidivism of the imperial court will be borne by Nan Tianba, and when the time comes, the prince will definitely hand him over Nan Batian to Jiang Jingzhong to apologize, and now he is naturally unwilling and unable to let him run.

These things were obviously arranged by Ban Hansheng last night after he knew that Zhang Jingxiu was rescued, compared to an officialdom veteran like Ban Wangye, Nan Tianba was obviously a little more immature.

After that, Nan Tianba thought of many ways to get out, but this personal soldier under Ban Hansheng obviously did not enter the oil and salt, and identified Nan Tianba.

During this period, Nan Tianba even had the idea of making a move, but seeing that this pro-soldier was extremely wary of him with weapons in hand, he had to dispel this unrealistic idea.

Without the slightest clue, Nan Tianba had no choice but to return to Fuzhou under the supervision of the personal soldiers behind him to meet Ban Wangye, and the local army of Fuzhou Prefecture, strictly speaking, even Ban Hansheng has no right to transfer.

The Fuzhou prefect was forced by the power of Jiang Jingzhong and Ban Hansheng to help them search for Zhang Jingxiu in Fuzhou, which was already the greatest support he could do.

At this time, Zhang Jingxiu was rescued, and Ban Hansheng no longer stayed in Kaiyuan Temple, and lived directly in Fuzhou Ya.

Hearing that Nan Tianba was back, he hurriedly summoned him.

Nan Tianba Rarity walked in uneasily, and when he saw Ban Hansheng, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Humble Nan Tianba, knock to see the prince." ”

With the last glimmer of hope, Lord Ban asked in a trembling voice: "How about General Nan, have you found the whereabouts of those who are against the party, and have you arrested Zhang Jingxiu?" ”

Nan Tianba's face was pale and trembling all over his body and he didn't dare to raise his head, Ban Hansheng's last trace of eagerness when he saw this was also extinguished, and one of the several royal soldiers who followed Nan Tianba made a gesture to Ban Wangye.

After seeing the gesture made by this person, Ban Wangye's face turned completely dark, this gesture means that Nan Tianba took people out last night and found nothing, let alone recovering Zhang Jingxiu, and even the whereabouts of the traitor party were not found.

Ban Hansheng shouted in vain: "Come on!!"

Nan Tianba trembled in fright when he heard these three words, knelt on the ground on his knees and crawled forward a few steps, and begged: "Lord Wang, give the lowly post a few more days, and the lowly post will definitely be able to arrest the Qin prisoner back." ”

"The prince spares his life!!"

"The prince spares his life!!"

Nan Tianba said as he spoke, his head was like garlic over and over again, and his forehead was already red.

Ban Hansheng was unmoved, and said in a low voice: "Come on, Nan Tianba's guards are not good for dereliction of duty, lost important criminals in the court, and when fighting against the rebel party, he is suspected of arsoning with the enemy, so he will be put in a death sentence, and he will be sent down after Lord Jiang arrives." ”

Although Nan Tianba had expected that Ban Hansheng would shirk responsibility, he didn't expect Ban Hansheng to pick himself up so cleanly, not only did he lose Zhang Jingxiu, but he was even blamed for the defeat in the first battle of Kaiyuan Temple.

In this way, no matter which one is confirmed, he Nan Tianba is dead or alive, struggling and shouting: "Lord Wang~Lord Wang~ Everything you do is in accordance with your instructions." ”

"Lord Wang~ Lord Wang, you can't do this to me, I want to see Lord Jiang, I want to see Lord Jiang. ”

When Ban Wang Ye heard Nan Tianba's unwilling wail, he suddenly shouted: "Bold, you dare to roar in the court, come and give me a palm." ”

With the order of the prince of Ban, several royal soldiers walked out, three soldiers firmly controlled Nan Tianba, and the remaining one soldier walked in front of Nan Tianba with a mahogany board in his hand.

Nan Tianba's face was pale, and he wanted to struggle but was firmly held down by the three royal soldiers, and he didn't finish speaking, "Lord, you......" Before he finished speaking, he only heard a 'pop', and the mahogany board had already hit Nan Tianba's face.

The tortured soldiers followed Ban Han for a long time, and under the observation of the words, the blow was extremely fierce, and Nan Tianba's mouth was full of blood after only one hit, and several teeth were broken.

Ban Wangye only said the palm, but did not say how many hits, since Ban Wangye did not speak, the mahogany board held by the pro-soldier kept greeting Nantianba's mouth.

A moment later, Nan Tianba passed out.

Only then did Ban Wangye let Nan Tianba be taken down to torture and interrogate, and even Liu Yishou and other five Jinyi guards did not let go, and they were all imprisoned in the prison of Fuzhou Mansion.

In fact, if Nan Tianba is smart enough, the moment Ban Hansheng finds him in Lunan Furnace Castle, he should be able to think of today's end, exterminating the traitorous party is not only a great achievement, but there are many hidden variables, if not, why would Ban Hansheng take out his own credit and give him a small Dongchang punishment household.

Ban Hansheng has left himself a way back since the beginning, and if something goes wrong in the plan, he will put the blame on Nan Tianba, but at that time, Nan Tianba was hungry for profit, and he only thought about the big tree of Ban Hansheng, and made great contributions in order to increase the official and become a knight, but in the end it only became Ban Hansheng's scapegoat stepping stone.

But looking at it from another angle, even if Nan Tianba knew about Ban Hansheng's wishful thinking early on, he didn't have any right to struggle, this is officialdom......

Not long after Ban Hansheng took care of Nan Tianba, hundreds of Dongchang masters led by Jiang Jingzhong's cronies Wandering Soul Sang Jian, Shadowless Stick Feng Shaoting, and Knife Lock Hunter Mo Yuan arrived in Fuzhou.

It's just that at this time, the general trend of Fuzhou City has gone, Zhang Jingxiu, a prisoner, was rescued, and the rebel Gu Youdao and his gang also retreated from Fuzhou.

Facing Jiang Jingzhong's cronies Sang Jian and others, Ban Hansheng completely lost his usual spirit, Jiang Jingzhong leaned towards the government and the opposition and had many henchmen, not to mention Ban Hansheng, a prince with a different surname, that is, the prince of the Zhu bloodline court, and he also avoided three points in front of Jiang Jingzhong.

told Sang Jian and others about the changes that happened in Fuzhou City, and in the process, Ban Hansheng naturally tried his best to detain the blame on Nan Tianba and several Jinyi guards who were in prison, so as to reduce his guilt.

Sang Jian and the others didn't say anything after hearing Ban Hansheng's words, and Feng Shaoting, the shadowless stick, and Mo Yuan, the knife locker, stayed in Fuzhou with hundreds of Dongchang factory guards, and continued to track down the whereabouts of Zhang Jingxiu and Gu Youdao, the traitors of the Qin Dynasty.

And Sang Jian, the wandering soul with the best light skills, returned the same way non-stop and went to report the situation in Fuzhou City to Jiang Jingzhong, the factory father.

Before Sang Jian left, Ban Hansheng quietly stuffed him with a few silver tickets, and Sang Jian put the silver tickets in his hands and didn't say anything, just smiled at Ban Hansheng.

Ban Hansheng's meaning of giving him a silver ticket is nothing more than wanting Sang Jian to help him say a few good words when he sees Jiang Jingzhong, as the so-called Hades is good to see little ghosts, sometimes the same sentence, different tones, it plays a completely different role.

Ban Hansheng has been in the officialdom all his life, and he is naturally familiar with the tricks, but he doesn't expect the wandering soul Sang Jian to help him hide anything, but he just hopes that a little consideration of Sang Jian's report is enough.
