But she said that this day was the day agreed to exchange hostages. At 1 o'clock in the morning, she got up and asked Jia Cong for leave, saying that she had something to go out. At 0 o'clock, Jia Cong waved her hand and said, "You can do whatever you want!" Then she went out wearing ordinary girl's clothes.
The mountain behind Zhenwuan was just a small mound, so it was just called the back mountain. At noon that day, someone was watching with a telescope on a big maple tree halfway up the mountain. He saw a carriage approaching from a distance, slowly approaching.
It was close to the foot of the mountain in the north and ended on the trail. The driver jumped out first, and someone pushed out three people. They were Gong Sanyi, Master Jingyuan and Miaoyu. Only Gong Sanyi was tied up. Another person got off and wore a hat.
Wearing bamboo hats, he pushed the three people and the coachman up the mountain in a bumpy way. The man in the tree turned the telescope and looked towards the top of the mountain. There were dozens of people hiding in the tall trees and bushes on the top of the mountain, but they didn't know
Before they came, someone had seen them with a telescope, made way for them, and then dispersed to the outside.
At nearly noon, footsteps were heard from the other end. A group of more than three hundred men, all dressed in black and covered with black scarves, came quickly up the mountain. Two of them were carrying a spring stool with a rattan drawer.
There was a man tied up on the bench, and he reached the top of the mountain in a short time.
As soon as the two sides faced each other, they started fighting like a north wind blowing on a sunny day. The two bearers put the spring stools on the ground and stood behind the leading man in black. The other three hundred people all carried bows on their backs.
Crossbows were scattered all around. Wherever the enemy's ambush was hidden in the tall trees or bushes, six of them would surround them and use bows and crossbows to designate the ambushers.
The coachman couldn't help sweating on his forehead and asked, "What does this mean?"
The leader on the opposite side said: "Take his own way to cure his body."
The coachman said: "When I come to your territory, I have to be prepared."
The leader said: "To each other." Then he looked up at the three hostages, clasped his fists and asked, "Is the princess okay?"
Master Jingyuan said: "The poor nun is still good."
The leader asked again: "How is Master Miaoyu?"
Miaoyu lowered her head and said: "Even if there is an iron threshold for a thousand years, it will eventually be a soiled bun."
The leader nodded and said to the coachman: "Eunuch Liu was injured the day we brought him back, and the time was too short to recover. We are really helpless. This man is very skilled in martial arts, and there is no way to capture him without injuring him."
"
The coachman sneered: "It's useless to talk more."
The leader said: "Our two families have been feuding for a long time, but it has reached this point, and it is not as good as God. But this time it is you who kidnapped my sister-in-law who has become a monk for no reason. What a despicable act!"
The coachman said: "I just want to ask you, how is the saint?"
The leader said: "I don't know. We have also checked, but there is no news."
The driver frowned and said, "Not in your hands?"
The leader said: "If the third prince falls into our hands one day, he will be killed in front of the lord's soul!"
The coachman hesitated for a moment and sneered: "My lord has been the destined emperor for a long time, but my lord is just a dead soul under the spring."
The leader also sneered: "The real emperor? The late emperor has controlled the court for more than ten years. The third prince has not been in power and is nothing more than a puppet. He finally waited for his death and thought that he could personally rule. Then he allowed the ninth prince to steal the country.
.Now it seems that the Ninth Prince is the real one."
The coachman gritted his teeth: "There is no need to show off your words. I just ask you, if the saint is not in your hands, where will the jade seal, tiger talisman, etc. come from?"
The leader was startled: "Jade Seal? What does the Jade Seal have to do with us? I made the tiger talisman. I am very familiar with it and can draw it with my eyes closed."
The driver's brows moved and he asked: "Aren't you the ones who robbed a group of adults from the prison under false imperial edicts?"
The leader said: "Why did I rob them? They can't be used by me. If they were robbed, how could they be put back? They were robbed by a group of bandits."
The driver was stunned: "Bandits?"
The leader said: "It was said that someone hired them to do work for a thousand taels of silver. They gave me fifty taels as rent. They rented me the back mountain to store things for a day and took them away in the evening. Now that I have the money, I I didn’t ask to see what it was. I just came to the mountain for a walk and then left.”
The driver was stunned again: "Didn't you rob him?"
The leader scorned: "Sneaky things like taking drugs, I... I despise them."
The coachman heard his loud voice, held his head high, and saw that he was a strong figure. It was obvious that he was a leader in fighting. Although the people behind him had their faces covered, their postures were obviously elite soldiers. What he said just now was fair and aboveboard, I believed it without realizing it. I couldn't help but wonder who among Prince Yoshitaka's subordinates was so familiar with the Tiger Talisman and had the ability to imitate it without making a mold from the real thing. That "I drop" obviously almost made a mistake in naming the Tiger Talisman. He couldn't remember what surname this "Di" was supposed to be, so he secretly went through the important generals of the Royal Forest Army in his mind, and there was no suspicious candidate. This leader's momentum would not be lost to everyone in the Royal Forest Army.
The leader added: "Since you didn't hurt the princess, I'll send you a letter as a thank you. The jade seal on the forged edict made by the prison bandits is not genuine."
The driver said: "Of course I know it's not true!"
The leader said: "The seal on the emperor's jade seal I have read is 'Hao Tian ordered Emperor Shouchang'; the seal on the fake edict is 'Ordered by Heaven to live long and prosperous'. I'm afraid the bandits heard it from the opera. Therefore, they cannot be Situ Yan’s people.”
The coachman's eyes lit up! Then he shook his head again and whispered to himself: "If the emperor could be free, how could he sit back and watch the kings become what they are now?"
The leader said: "Your lord harmed my lord, and the blood feud will not be forgotten day and night. I helped the kings and destroyed your lord's kingdom for my lord, which is considered revenge. Now our two families are in disgrace; my family will be rehabilitated sooner or later." Your life will be more difficult. We are both losers, so why bother to fight so hard. Each one has an advantage in the other's hands, so let's just keep the water in the well from the river."
The coachman thought for a moment and said: "If the saint is not in your hands, it is useless to keep an eye on you. That's fine. Let's replace him."
The leader high-fived twice, and the two men in black behind him lifted the spring stool and carried it to the open space in the middle of the two sides. They stood there like wooden stakes and waited. The coachman motioned to the man wearing a bamboo hat next to him, and the man walked towards Jingyuan. The master said: "Princess, please." Master Jingyuan snorted, Miaoyu supported her, and Gong San also followed behind and walked into the middle. Two men in black protected the three of them and slowly walked towards them. Walking. The man wearing a bamboo hat bent down and picked up Liu Dengxi and the spring stool with his hands. He easily lifted the spring stool across his shoulders. Liu Dengxi was on the spring stool. He strode back again. The one on the opposite side The leader couldn't help but cheered, "What a man!"
Immediately Master Jingyuan and others returned to their side, and the leader bowed to her and saluted: "I am late in rescuing you. Please forgive me, Princess."
Master Jingyuan recited a Buddhist saying: "General, hard work."
The leader cupped his fists towards Miaoyu again, and Miaoyu lowered her head and recited the Buddha's name. At this moment, the people below him had untied the rope from Gong Sanyi's body, and the leader cupped his fists at him and said, "Thank you for your help, a hero."
Gong San also glanced at him without saying a word.
The man on the other side also untied the rope for Liu Dengxi and took out the cloth towel stuffed in his mouth. Liu Dengxi coughed a few times, and someone handed him a kettle. The driver hurriedly asked: "How are you, father-in-law? Where is the injury?"
Liu Dengxi calmed down and said with a wry smile: "I have been hunting geese all my life, but I got bitten in the eye by the geese. They set the trap carefully and carefully, and the whole family was convinced." He added, "They used guns and guns.
All my limbs were hit. And the shots were extremely accurate. They must be from the Lianjia family. I'm afraid there are people from them in the firearms camp. They have also treated me, but it is difficult to recover for a while."
The coachman nodded: "General, I know. I'm afraid the 'di' he just said was because he didn't finish his last name."
Liu Dengxi said: "I have roughly counted."
The coachman nodded again and asked, "Father-in-law, do you think what they said is true?"
Liu Deng said happily: "I don't know whether it is true or not. I have to check first to see if the jade seal is really 'Ordered by God to Live Longevity and Longevity'. Although the jailer insisted that it was the real jade seal that day, he only glanced at it in a hurry on the night of the prison robbery.
, the reason for the inaccuracy is that he remembered it incorrectly."
The coachman bowed and said "yes".
Liu Deng said happily: "Help me sit up."
The coachman helped him sit on the spring stool. Although Liu Dengxi's voice was shrill, it could be heard from afar. He said: "Mr. Fan's skill is so good that everyone admires it. General Ding, I'm in trouble now.
We'll see you later!" Then he waved his hand, and the man in the bamboo hat lifted him up again. The coachman whistled, and their people came out of the tall trees and bushes, and followed him down the mountain.
Seeing that their group was no longer in the mountains, the leader at the other end also waved his hand, and a group of people hugged Master Jingyuan and headed towards Zhenwu'an.
When they entered the nunnery, there was no one around because all the aunts were chanting sutras and doing homework in front of them. The leader hugged Master Jingyuan and led them away through the tunnel. Master Jingyuan let out a long sigh,
He said, "Let's all rest for now. We'll talk about it later." Gong Sanyi nodded, saluted her, and left through the tunnel.
For a moment, Gong Sanyi opened the tunnel entrance of his home and pushed open the cover of the water tank to get out. He was startled. He saw Gong Kun, Jia Cong, Jia Huan, Jarvis, and Shi Qiusheng sitting in a circle, staring at him eagerly.
, I don’t think it’s funny, and my eyes are a little hot.
Jia Cong first let out an "ouch": "Sir, you are back!" Without waiting for Gong Sanyi to speak, he rushed forward and hugged the old man's neck, "Aoao, sir, you are back~~"
Gong Sanyi said with a smile: "Okay, come down quickly! I'm still injured."
"Ah?" Jia Cong suddenly jumped away, "Where's the injury? If I had known better, I wouldn't have treated the old eunuch's injury!"
Gong Sanyi said: "It's nothing serious." Then he stepped out of the vat. His disciples, nephews and grandsons rushed forward and called "Sir" and "Third Uncle". He knew when he saw that Shi Qiusheng's eyes were dark and blood-red.
He hadn't slept well these days, so I patted him on the shoulder.
Everyone went to the study together. Jarvis personally poured tea for Gong Sanyi. The old man drank for a while and then said: "It's great that you call me a 'hero' today. I also pretended to be someone who has nothing to do with the prince."
Jia Cong said: "Because Liu Dengxi's people still trust me, I guess your identity has not been exposed. You are a ghost to begin with, and your time in their hands is short, so they may not be able to trick you out. Sir
What did you say? You didn't say you went to Zhenmuan to steal things, did you?"
Gong Sanyi smiled and said: "I claim to be the concubine of Princess Jinyang."
Jia Cong was startled, and a distant and familiar allusion flashed through his mind: "That...is that Mr. Fan that Liu Dengxi called you?"
"Um."
"You don't claim to be Fan Yao, do you?"
"Um."
There was silence in the room for two or three seconds. Suddenly, Jia Cong, Jia Huan and Gong Kun burst out laughing wildly and fell down at their desks. Jarvis also laughed out of control. Gong San also laughed himself. Only Shi Qiusheng was at a loss.
What happened?
For a long time, Jia Cong watched the old man pounding the table and shouting with a smile: "Fan Youshi is unjust~~ Master Jue is too unjust, hahahaha..." He added, "You won't say that Master Miaoyu is the private child of the two of you.
Daughter, hahahaha..."
Gong Sanyi glared at him and said, "How old is she? How long have I been in Beijing? How can I raise such a big private daughter?"
The brothers laughed again.
After laughing for a long time, everyone was in a better mood. Jia Cong asked Gong Sanyi: "Old man, what's the matter with you? How did you get into trouble?"
Gong Sanyi sighed softly and spoke slowly.
It turned out that he had received the secret book "Night Travel to Zhenwu'an" from Master Jingyuan that day. As soon as he passed the wall of the nunnery, he felt something strange, but he looked around and found nothing wrong, so he went to the abbot's room.
Fortunately, he always called Master Jingyuan "Master", and Jingyuan also called him "Sir". The two talked about Miaoyu in the abbot's room for half a day. Gong San also went to check around Miaoyu Nunnery but did not notice it.
When he came back, he said to Jingyuan: "Master, don't worry. I will just stay outside the Miaoyu Gate tonight and see what trouble can happen."
Just when Jing Yuan said "Mr. Thank you for your hard work," someone broke in through the window and attacked Jing Yuan. Gong San also stepped forward and stood in front of Jing Yuan with his sword drawn to protect him. Five more people jumped in from outside.
All six of them were masters, but Gong Sanyi couldn't beat him no matter how good he was. His thighs and shoulders were all scratched. Since he was obviously no match for him, he pretended to be weak and let them catch him.
The door of the abbot's room was wide open, and an old man walked in with his hands behind his back. He bowed to Master Jingyuan first and said, "Your Majesty, you are well."
Master Jingyuan recited the Buddha's name: "You are the eunuch named Liu who was next to my third uncle in the early years, aren't you?"
The old man said: "It's a great blessing for the Zajia family that the princess recognizes the Zajia after not seeing him for many years." Then he turned back to look at Gong Sanyi and said, "This gentleman is very skilled in kung fu. He has never been able to defeat six of my masters at the same time."
Gong Sanyi had gone through countless circles in his mind. He thought that when he was an official in the court, this old man was still in the palace. He had never met him before and he didn't recognize him. Look, they were pretending to be ghosts in the past few days. They thought it was for
The one who lured the snake out of its hole obviously doesn't know anything. It's better to try to coax him and not expose his involvement with the Rongguo Mansion. This old eunuch is very skilled, and Huan'er is not good enough in front of him. Anyway, there has been a letter from Taiwan, so
Several children are about to arrive in the capital. With the wisdom of Cong'er, Kun'er and Wudang of Weis and others, they can try to save themselves. After thinking for a moment, I remembered Jia Cong's comments in the early years of "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", where Fan Fan, the right envoy of Mingjiao,
Yao thought of Luzhangke's romantic nature, so in order to win his trust, he coaxed him to say that he had an affair with Master Miejie, and Luzhangke believed him. However, Princess Jinyang betrayed an adulterous woman because of her elopement.
With her name, Liu Dengxi would be able to think of this old incident whenever he saw her, so as to win her trust. He said, "I and my teacher have always just lectured on scriptures and preached the Dharma, and there is nothing to do with it."
As soon as these words came out, Master Jingyuan blushed immediately, pointed at him and said: "You...you...shut up!"
Liu Dengxi was stunned for a moment, unable to laugh or cry, and sneered sadly: "It turns out that the princess is still as lonely as she was back then!"
Gong San also argued: "We are both innocent, so why does this gentleman talk with empty teeth and spit blood? Besides, we are neatly dressed, and there is nothing to slander even if we go to the official hall."
Liu Dengxi chuckled: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get to the government hall." Then he asked his name.
Gong Sanyi said casually: "My name is Fan Yao."
Liu Dengxi nodded: "It's a good name." Then he walked out with his hands behind his back.
The people below him tied up Gong Sanyi and Master Jingyuan and gagged them. Two of them carried them out. They saw someone carrying another person coming over, and three people carrying the other three and running away under the moon. Later they
He was put into a carriage on the side of the road, and after a long bumpy ride, he was finally moved out.
Gong Sanyi raised his eyes and saw that it was a very ordinary small courtyard. There were stone mills, dustpans and other items in the courtyard. I am afraid that the people who usually live there are not dignitaries, but ordinary people.
