Chapter thirty-four twists and turns
The Cold Food Festival passed in a blink of an eye, and everyone was well prepared. They had eaten early in the morning, brought their weapons and weapons, mounted their horses, and set off one after another in groups of three or five.
This idea was proposed by Wang Wending, because now there are many people in Xiaoxian Pavilion and the target is too big. There are many people who secretly pay attention to everyone's movements. They are most afraid of being targeted by the ruler of the Southern Tang Kingdom. If the army intervenes, the matter can be easily handled. It was difficult. So, a group of Dong Wanshu, Jiang Yiyi, Tang Ziyan, and Wu Li set off as the vanguard, followed by Zhang Sujian, Yin Zhantu, Li Zhaojun, and Han Ning. The second group followed closely, followed by Shen Zixiao, Wang Qing Ding, Sui Yunzhu, Wu Suxin, Xia Ming, Panda, Zheng Xun and others formed the third group, surveying the road conditions and recording the route.
Zhang Sujian and the four others followed Jiang Naiyi and others in front of them from a distance. After walking for a while, they saw a small hill in front of them. They saw Jiang Naiyi and others suddenly dismounted in front, as if they were stopped. Zhang Sujian printed the exhibition picture and said: "Seal" Brother, there seems to be trouble ahead, let’s catch up and take a look.”
Yin Zhantu said: "It won't be too late, Ning'er, follow me."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Han Ning and Li Zhaojun hurriedly urged their horses forward, following the two of them. The four of them rushed to Jiang Yinyi's side. They saw a group of people standing in front of Jiang Yinyi. They all looked fierce, and the leader had a helmet on his head. A, with an iron pick in his hand, his face scorched, shouted loudly: "Listen to me, keep your money and pretty little girls, and I will spare your life."
Zhang Sujian thought to himself: "This guy is so greedy. If these girls in front of you want to say nice things, they have to be left behind for you." Just as he was about to urge his horse forward, a rider rushed out beside him and shouted: "You stink!" Shameless thing, so greedy, take my spear!" It was Li Zhaojun who flew out with his spear.
The group of people blocking the road are a group of local thieves. The leader is called Lei Kun. He has a lot of brute force and is very good with iron skills. He has gathered the gangsters to cut paths nearby and commit crimes. He has been lying on the roadside for a long time today. I saw several people coming on the road. Two beauties, each with their own beauty, rushed out immediately and blocked the way.
Lei Kun suddenly saw a horse charging towards him. The man on the horse thrust a snake spear at him and hurriedly blocked it. Unexpectedly, Li Zhaojun had expected this move. He quickly withdrew the snake spear, twisted out several spear flowers, and stabbed him. At Lei Kun's head, Lei Kun jumped to the side, and Li Zhaojun swept his snake spear across. Lei Kun lowered his head to avoid it, and the two started fighting.
Li Zhaojun originally wanted to restrain the opponent with a few moves and show off his skills, but he didn't expect that he was fighting the Lei Kun on horseback, and he was not very flexible and couldn't use it. So he jumped up and dismounted from the horse. This time, he was no longer restrained by the horse. , his movements were much more flexible, Li Zhaojun raised his hand to grab the snake spear and attacked again. The snake spear was shaking like a dragon emerging from a cave, and the silver light flashed. Although it was not as long as the Zhangba snake spear, it could still be more than six feet long. When it shook, Like a silver dragon flying, it goes straight to the thunder and Kun.
Lei Kun had great self-preservation and saw the opportunity. He grabbed the snake spear and tried to break it. Unexpectedly, the snake spear was made entirely of fine steel. The shaft was extremely hard, unlike a wooden spear. So easy to break.
Li Zhaojun took this opportunity, holding the spear with one hand, and suddenly slapped Lei Kun with his left hand. Lei Kun wanted to make a sneak attack with the iron in his hand, but suddenly felt a hot palm force coming towards him, and before he could dodge, he was hit in the face. , fell to the ground slumped, dying.
When the minions brought by Lei Kun saw their leader being killed, they dispersed and fled without a trace in an instant.
Li Zhaojun withdrew his snake spear and laughed loudly: "These guys are all good at Qinggong. They run so fast!"
The girls couldn't help but laugh at his words. Yin Zhan Tu said: "Now that the thieves blocking the road have been dealt with, let's continue on our way." Everyone got on their horses and followed the order of departure. Jiang Minyi and four others led the way, and Yin Zhan Tu 4
People followed from a distance.
After turning around the hill, a river came into view. There was a group of people busy on the river bank. Four people, Jiang Yinyi, rode up to them. Looking at their attire, they found that they were a group of soldiers and horses from the Southern Tang Dynasty. Among the people in that group,
A horseman ran out, holding a long sword in his hand. It looked like he was a general. The man rode his horse and came closer. He looked at Jiang Mianyi and the girls carefully and muttered: "Lei Kun is a waste, such a beauty."
I can’t even take it off, so I have to take action.”
Jiang Mianyi was such a master. She could hear the smallest sound clearly, and her heart moved: "It turns out that the treacherous villain just now was in the same group as the officers and soldiers."
The general blocked the way of the four men and shouted: "The officers and soldiers are on business in front of us, so please take a detour."
Jiang Yiyi said: "Master Jun, we have something urgent to do. This road is the only way. Please be accommodating."
The general said sternly: If I can be accommodating with just a word from you, why should I stop you? But there is an order from above. The officers and soldiers are on official business, and this road has been blocked and is not allowed to pass.
Tang Ziyan was behind Jiang Yiyi and found that the officers and soldiers had tied up some people. There were carriages pulling large boxes parked in the middle of the road, and there were several corpses beside the carriages.
Tang Ziyan said: "Master Jun, we are here to deliver the letter in accordance with the order from above. We also have official business."
Tang Ziyan heard that the other party said that the officers and soldiers were on official business, so she had an idea and used the same excuse to get over.
The general asked: "Do you have a pass? We are out on business under the orders of General Feng Yanlu Feng."
At this time, the second group and the third group of people had arrived, and Wang Wending said: "Oh, I thought who could do it, but it turns out to be General Feng Yanyong!" As he said that, he urged his horse to come to the general.
.
That general was none other than Feng Yanyong, who was the cousin of Feng Yansi, the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty. With his cousin serving as an official in the court, he ascended to heaven and obtained a position as a partial general. Before he became an official, he was just a bully in the countryside.
, once you have a position, bad habits are hard to change, so it is not a problem to go to Xiaoxian Pavilion to drink wine and have fun, so Wang Wending has a deep impression on this person.
Feng Yanyong took a closer look and saw that it was Wang Qiding and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Brother Wang! I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to hurt my brother."
Wang Wending smiled and said: "Yes, General Feng won't go to Xiaoxian Pavilion anymore. I miss you brother very much!"
Feng Yanyong asked: "Brother, why are you here today?"
Wang Wending said: "To be fair to General Feng, we are going to attend a martial arts competition. The time is approaching and we can only arrive on time by taking this road." As he spoke, he put the horse and Feng Yanyong side by side and extended his hand to Feng Yanyong.
Feng Yanyong lowered his head and saw that Wang Wending was holding an ingot of gold in his hand, which was fifty taels. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile on his face: "I see, if they had been as cheerful as Brother Wang, I would have let them go."
." He reached out and took the gold.
Wang Wending said: "They are all new here and don't understand the rules. I hope General Feng will forgive me."
Feng Yanyong laughed loudly and said: "Brother Wang is one of our own, and my younger brother is on business, so there will be no further delay. You all can go over."
Wang Wending clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, General Feng. We will meet again later. We will often go to Xiaoxian Pavilion and have fun!" After saying this, he waved his hand to signal everyone to urge the horses to pass.
Everyone filed past, and when they passed by the group of people who were tied up by the officers and soldiers, someone suddenly shouted: "We are not thieves, help! We are just escorts!"
Seeing that the Tang soldiers were losing control, a Tang soldier next to the shouting man raised his sword and dropped it. Seeing that the man was about to be killed, a crossbow arrow suddenly flew in and shot down the Tang soldier. There was a loud shouting all around.
The Nestorian people urged their horses to gallop forward and swarmed up to a nearby mound to watch the situation from a high position.
I saw a group of strong men, about dozens of them, pouring out of a large boat in the river. The leader was holding a bamboo pennant in his hand and a crossbow on his back. He led the crowd towards the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
As soon as this group of people fought against the Southern Tang soldiers, it was obvious that they were well-trained. The Southern Tang soldiers were simply vulnerable. More than 300 people were beaten to a pulp by these dozens of people with little effort.
The man stabbed a Tang soldier in front of him to death with his pennant, and rushed straight towards Feng Yanyong. When Feng Yanyong saw that he was attacked, he calmed down, urged his horse and jumped towards the man with his sword. As soon as the two of them made a move, Feng Yanyong regretted it.
, that man's skill is far superior to his own.
There was a barb on the front of the man's bamboo pole. The two fought for three rounds. The head of Feng Yanyong's broadsword was caught by the barb. When the two of them competed, Feng Yanyong was not his opponent. He was pulled off the horse by the man.
Surrounded by the men brought by that man, they swarmed up and tied up Feng Yanyong.
Zhang Sujian looked from a distance and saw a big flag flying on a big boat in the river. There was a white cloud painted on it, and a flying dragon showing its teeth and claws appeared in the cloud. He didn't know what it meant, so he turned around and asked Li Zhaojun: "Where is the dragon flag on that boat?"
banner?"
Li Zhaojun took a closer look and said: "The flag of Canglong Village, yes, it is the flag of Canglong Village."
Zhang Sujian said: "Hidden Dragon Villa? What is its connection with your Phoenix Villa?"
Li Zhaojun said: "My Fenghuang Village does not dare to compete with Canglong Village. They have a monopoly on the medicinal materials business in the Central Plains. They are as rich as anyone in the country. The owner of the village, Su Yuantao, has profound martial arts. He is extremely domineering with the Overlord's Fury Fist. He can defeat all the people in Liaodong with a single golden-topped spear."
He is a very outstanding person, but I think the group of people who killed Tang Bing are well-trained, and their skills are more like those of the Wuji Sect."
Zhang Sujian said: "If they are really from the Wuji Sect, we should really avoid them. They have been coveting the Wandering Dragon Picture and are very difficult to deal with."
That group of people are really members of the Wuji Sect. The person who wields the bamboo pole is Qu Haikun, the master of the Duize altar. This man has excellent water skills and is good at water fighting. The crossbow on his back is called the Fujiao crossbow, which is a very domineering weapon.
, this was the man who shot Dong Zhao to death, but he was hiding in the dark. Zhang Sujian, the three brothers and sisters did not recognize him. Qu Haikun was injured by Wu Li's green flame needle, and passed through the Wuji Gate after returning.
The famous doctor Ye Shu devoted all his efforts to diagnosis and treatment, and finally recovered. This time, he was sent by Shao Shentong to escort the goods of Canglong Village.
Why did Wuji Sect get involved in the muddy waters of Hidden Dragon Village? It turned out that Su Yuantao controlled the medicinal materials business in the entire Central Plains and wanted to extend his tentacles to the south of the Yellow River and even Lingnan, so he sent people to open a branch in the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
As a result, the ship transporting medicinal materials was inexplicably robbed near Yangzhou. A clerk who returned alive told him that the robbers looked like officers and soldiers. Su Yuantao was very angry, but there were only a few clerks in Canglong Village, and most of them were arranged to run businesses everywhere.
, he couldn't find the number of people who could deal with the officers and soldiers no matter how hard he tried, so he thought of Wuji Sect, and sent a letter asking for help to Shao Shentong. Hidden Dragon Village and Wuji Sect had always had contacts and had a good relationship, so Shao Shentong received the request for help.
After writing the letter, he readily assigned Duizetan Qu Haikun and his 70 elite navy troops to be dispatched by Canglongzhuang to protect the ships carrying cargo.
After setting off, the journey was uneventful. When we arrived at the border of Yangzhou, we were unloading goods at the dock. Suddenly, these officers and soldiers appeared. They were ordered to inspect. The people from Canglongzhuang argued a few words and were hacked to death. The rest were tied up.
After getting up, Qu Haikun and his men hid in the cabin and did not come out. After observing the situation and figuring out the number of the officers and soldiers, they suddenly launched their force and killed the generals. The officers and soldiers were caught off guard and the entire army was wiped out.
Qu Haikun asked his men to untie the people in Canglong Village who were tied up. The man who had shouted just now picked up a steel knife and ran over, kicked Feng Yanyong in the head, and said angrily: "Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
?”
Feng Yanyong glared at the man and said, "I won't tell your grandfather."
Qu Haikun put the bamboo pole on Feng Yanyong's belly and said: "You say it or not. If you don't say it, I will stab it in with this thing and slowly hook out your intestines." As he said this, he pretended to stab him.
.
When Feng Yanyong saw the bamboo pennant, it was completely black and obviously made of fine iron. He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and thought to himself: "A good man will not suffer the loss in front of him." He opened his mouth and said: "We are the subordinates of General Feng Yanlu, the governor of Yangzhou. It is him.
I have taken a fancy to your goods and want to keep them. If you are wise, please let me go. I am his cousin. If you hurt me, you can't bear it and just carry it around."
Qu Haikun said with a smile: "Just tell me, Brother Wu, you can deal with him." As he spoke, he winked at Brother Wu.
The man surnamed Wu was called Wu Rong. He was one of the most capable shopkeepers under Su Yuantao. He was very good at observing faces. When he saw the look in Qu Haikun's eyes, he raised his knife and cut off Feng Yanyong's head.
When the Nestorian people saw Feng Yanyong being beheaded on the mound, Shen Zixiao said: "These people are so bold, they dare to kill the officers and generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty in broad daylight."
Wang Wending said: "Old Shen Moguan, that Feng Yanyong was born as a bully and never did any good deeds. There must be a cause and effect when he was killed this time, and he was worthy of his death."
Shen Zixiao said: "In this case, it is better for us to do less than to do more. It is better to concentrate on our affairs and continue to set off."
