After Yan Shoufeng returned to Dongchang, he and Pang Jianfeng sat in Zhongyi Pavilion and waited for Zhang Daoqian and Kongkong to return.
When Luo Sigong and others rushed into the courtyard just now, they did not take Pang Yuchun with them. Therefore, Yan Shoufeng did not know that Pang Yuchun had returned to the Jinyiwei General Administration Bureau, and he also placed his hope on Zhang and Kong to capture Pang Yuchun.
Zhang Daoqian came back first, and Tian Ergeng took him to Zhongyi Pavilion. When Yan Shoufeng saw him returning, he stood up nervously and asked, "Master Zhang, have you caught Pang Yuchun?"
Zhang Daoqian sighed and said: "The effort was in vain. Originally, Pindao had already captured Pang Yuchun, but unexpectedly, Ye Jinquan appeared on the way and was taken back by him. Pindao almost risked his life, but fortunately Grandpa Sanqing protected him. , I was lucky enough to get away with it.”
When Yan Shoufeng heard this, his heart felt cold, he sighed, and said in frustration: God will not bless me."
Pang Jianfeng asked: "Master Zhang, where is Master Kongkong? Didn't he come back with you?"
After Pang Jianfeng asked, Yan Shoufeng realized that Kong Kong hadn't come back yet. Kong Kong was his good helper. He was afraid that Kong Kong would make a mistake, so he said nervously: "Yeah, why didn't Master Kong Kong come back? Could it be that something happened to him?" Jin Yiwei’s poisonous hand, right?”
Zhang Daoqian didn't know what was going on with Kong Kong at the moment. He was only focused on escaping for his own life, and he didn't care about Kong Kong's life or death.
When Yan and Pang asked Kongkong, he was embarrassed to say that he ran away first, and a bad guy came to complain first, and said angrily: "It's all the fault of this great monk. At that time, we found that Jin Yiwei was chasing after us. I let him He walked quickly, but it was good for him. He felt that he was unambiguous these two times. He had to stop and wait for a fight with Jin Yiwei, but he ended up waiting for Lao Yetou.
"If he could listen to me and leave as soon as possible, Pang Yuchun would not be taken back. This great monk really failed in his achievements and failed in his crimes. He and I ran away separately. Is he alive or dead? I don't know."
After hearing what he said, Yan Shoufeng said unhappily: "This Kong Kong, I didn't expect that something bad would happen to him." Although he was dissatisfied with Kong Kong in his heart, he still didn't want anything to happen to Kong Kong, so he ordered Tian Ergeng to go out of the city to look for him, and he wanted to see someone alive. To die is to see the body.
After a while, Tian Ergen came back with Kong Kong. Yan Shoufeng stood up and said: "Master, you are finally back, but you have made me worried. How about it? You are not injured?"
Kongkong looked unhappy and said: "I'm fine." When he walked into Zhongyi Pavilion and saw Zhang Daoqian sitting there, the anger in his heart immediately ignited. He pointed at Zhang Daoqian's nose and said angrily: "Zhang, why did you keep saying hello when you ran away? Why don't you even fight me? I was almost killed by you. Are you too unloyal? How can you still be the leader like this? What the hell are you doing?"
Zhang Daoqian stood up and said angrily: "You still have the nerve to accuse me. If you hadn't insisted on waiting for the Jin Yiwei to come and start the battle, would Pang Yuchun have been taken back?"
Kongkong said angrily: "Well, your surname is Zhang. Zhu Bajie beat you up. He didn't bother to disturb you, and he actually put the responsibility on Lao Na. Today Lao Na has to destroy you." He rolled up his arms and sleeves, and was about to take action.
Zhang Daoqian did not show weakness, drew his sword, and shouted: "It's not certain who will destroy whom today."
Seeing that they were about to fight, Yan Shoufeng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Forget it, forget about the past. It's not worth hurting the friendship over such a trivial matter." After some persuasion, he calmed down the matter. Let Tian Ergong prepare wine and food, and host a banquet in Zhongyi Pavilion for Kong, Zhang and Pang.
Time was short, the banquet was over, and Tian Ergeng stood aside to serve, pouring wine and serving dishes for everyone. Everyone was unhappy when things went wrong. They were all dejected, and they had no taste at all when they drank.
During the banquet, Pang Jianfeng asked: "Mr. Factory Master, what are you going to do next?"
Yan Shoufeng said: "Wait for the opportunity and break into the Jinyiwei General Administration Bureau again."
Pang Jianfeng said: "With Ye Jinquan and Pudu here, it is impossible for us to succeed."
Zhang Daoqian said: "Master Pang, you missed one person."
Pang Jianfeng asked: "Who is it?"
Zhang Daoqian said: "Mou Ying, this person should not be underestimated."
Pang Jianfeng said proudly: "Brother Dao, you don't know. Mou Ying was hit by Ping Dao's sword. Even if he didn't die, he would still be seriously injured. He no longer poses a threat to us."
Zhang Daoqian said: "I didn't expect that the famous Divine Sword General would not be a match for Brother Dao. Brother Dao's Big Valley Technique and Netherworld Sword Technique are really amazing."
When Pang Jianfeng heard this, he felt happy and said with a smile: "Mou Ying has a false reputation. Defeating him is nothing."
Zhang Daoqian said to Yan Shoufeng: "Mr. Factory Master, I have a suggestion. I don't know whether I should make it or not?"
Yan Shoufeng said: "Master Zhang, please tell me if you have anything to say."
Zhang Daoqian said: "Among the four of us, Master Kongkong has the highest martial arts. If we do it again, Master Kongkong will fight Pudu. Mr. Factory Master, myself, and Master Pang will join forces to attack Lao Yetou. Although the three of us may not necessarily We can defeat Old Yetou, but there is no problem in holding him back. After Master Kongkong has dealt with Pudu, the four of us will join forces and we should have no problem in dealing with Old Yetou."
In fact, among the four of them, the one with the highest martial arts is not Kong Kong, but Yan Shoufeng. Zhang Daoqian knows this very well. The reason why he said that Kong Kong has the highest martial arts is because he wants to use a soft knife to kill people and praise Kong Kong. Kongkong is not Pudu's opponent at all. , if Kong Kong is allowed to fight against Pudu, it is equivalent to letting Kong Kong die.
Kong Kong has lived for most of his life and is not a fool. How could he not see through Zhang Daoqian's little tricks? He thought to himself: "You Zhang Daoqian is so shady." I felt hateful and angry, but I couldn't express myself. Zhang Daoqian said that he had the best martial arts skills. , I'm flattering him. How can he have an attack? He can only suffer the consequences of being dumb and suppressing his anger secretly.
He made up his mind that if Yan Shoufeng accepted Zhang Daoqian's suggestion, he would go back home and stop playing with them.
Yan Shoufeng also saw that Zhang Daoqian had bad intentions and thought to himself: "Zhang Daoqian is a narrow-minded villain. We must be careful in the future." He said: "The three of you don't know. Pudu will leave Beijing soon. Wait until he leaves. After that, let’s take action again. I believe that with the combined efforts of the four of us, we should be able to deal with Lao Yetou.”
Yan Shoufeng is a chess master, and Luo Sigong is also a chess master. The two of them are playing a big game related to the fate of the Ming Empire.
Yan Shoufeng predicted that Luo Sigong would definitely attack the King of Korea in his next move. Li Tianmu was seriously injured, and Mou Ying was seriously injured even if he did not die. Mou Rongtian could not fight against Yang Huan and Guandong Shuangsha alone, so Luo Sigong would definitely send Pudu to assassinate the King of Korea.
Luo Sigong really wanted to make this move, but before making this move, he had to wait for Mou Rongtian to bring Li Bing back. Only he and Li Tianmu knew about this matter. Jin Yiwei's traitor did not know about it, so Yan Shoufeng did not know about it either, so it was leaked. Forget this move.
Luo Sigong waited patiently for Li Bian's arrival, but he still didn't arrive. He waited anxiously, like an ant on a hot pot. He sat restless all day long, thinking to himself: "Counting the days, it should have arrived long ago, why is it so late?" Not there? Could it be that something happened on the road?"
In fact, Luo Sigong was overthinking, and nothing happened on the road. It was just that he didn't know that Li Bie had broken his leg and could not ride a horse, so he could only ride a car. He calculated the time based on the horse riding trip, and the speed of riding a car was much slower than riding a horse.
, so it was delayed.
Mou Rongtian and Li Yi left Geoje Island by boat, landed at the southern end of the Koryo Peninsula, transferred to a carriage, and headed north towards the Ming Dynasty.
Li Bie was worried that he could not convince Pang Yuchun, so he wanted to ask Jin Zhong for help. Jin Zhong was Pang Yuchun's father-in-law. If he spoke, Pang Yuchun might listen.
Jin Zhong lived in Xinzhou City, which was a border town of Goryeo and bordered the Ming Empire. After Xinzhou City, to the north was the border of the Ming Dynasty.
On this day, the carriage drove into Xinzhou City. After Pang Yuchun's accident, Li Bie had visited Jin Zhong and knew the location of his home. He was familiar with the family and the roads, and guided Mou Rongtian to find Jin Zhong's home.
This is a small courtyard. The fence is as high as one person. There is a brick house in the courtyard, which does not look simple. Most residents in Xinzhou City live in adobe houses, and not many people live in brick houses.
Building a brick house is an extremely glorious thing in Xinzhou City.
Jin Zhong was originally a tenant farmer with a small annual income and was very poor. He had to borrow money to fill his stomach. After his daughter married Pang Yuchun, with the help of his son-in-law, his life became prosperous day by day. Not only did he own dozens of acres of land, but it was also covered with bricks and tiles.
