Mou Rongtian asked: "Did that person named Zhang be killed by his enemies?"
The old bustard said: "That's not true. He was lucky enough to escape."
Mou Rong added speculation that if Zhang Huai had not been poisoned by Xu Xianchun, he would probably still be on the island.
He thanked the old madam, left the brothel, went to the General's Mansion, and asked the Goryeo Navy General Li Bie to help find Zhang Huai.
Li Yi sent people to conduct door-to-door investigations.
On this day, Xia Laoliu was sitting in the courtyard playing straw sandals when he suddenly heard someone say: "Lao Liu, what are you busy with?" He looked up and saw the village chief walking in. He stood up and said with a smile: "The village chief is here. I have something to do.
?"
The village chief unfolded a portrait to show Xia Laoliu and asked, "Have you seen this person?"
Xia Laoliu recognized Zhang Huai in the portrait at a glance. He was careful not to mention that Zhang Huai was in the room. He shook his head and said: "It looks strange, I have never seen him before." He then asked: "What is he doing?"
What?"
The village chief said: "I don't know either. It's the general who wants to find this guy. There's nothing else to do. You can go ahead and I'm leaving." He turned around and left.
After the village chief left, Xia Laoliu put down his work and went back to the house to ask Zhang Huai, "Brother Zhang, have you done anything?"
Zhang Huai was startled and said: "No, why did Sixth Brother say this?"
Xia Laoliu said: "The village chief came just now and asked me to recognize your portrait. I didn't dare to say that you were here. He said that the general was looking for you."
Zhang Huai didn't understand Korean. The village chief and Xia Laoliu were talking in Korean just now. He just heard voices in the courtyard, but didn't know what they were talking about. After hearing what Xia Laoliu said, he thought to himself: "
Why is Goryeo's Bird General looking for me? Could it be Mou Yongtian who came to Geoje Island? Oh, I can't be prepared. It's probably this guy who asked Goryeo's Bird General to look for me."
In order to dispel Xia Laoliu's concerns, Zhang Huai said with a smile: "Brother Six, don't worry too much. I'm not a bad person. I didn't commit anything. Let me tell you the truth. I had a falling out with my father and ran away. Earlier.
My God, I live in Manchun Courtyard, and my father went to look for me and asked me to go home. I didn’t want to go back, so I hid here with you. My father must have asked the general to send someone to look for me."
Xia Laoliu believed it and asked, "Brother Zhang, why did you fall out with your father?"
Zhang Huai sighed and said: "Hey, don't mention it. I fell in love with a brothel girl and wanted to marry her home. My father refused to agree, so I ran out in anger."
Xia Laoliu wanted to persuade Zhang Huai to go home, but he felt that it was not easy to talk about family matters, so he said nothing more and went to the courtyard to make straw sandals.
Zhang Huai was lying on the kang, looking at the ceiling, thinking: "Is there Mou Rongtian's eyes and ears at the dock? It's very possible that there is. I have to find a way to avoid his eyes and ears."
He rolled his eyes and had an idea. He sat up and called, "Brother Six, let me tell you something."
Xia Laoliu walked in and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhang Huai said: "Go and buy a big wooden box that can hold mine." He took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it to Xia Laoliu.
Xia Laoliu asked: "Why did you buy the wooden box?"
Zhang Huai said: "My father probably sent someone to guard the dock. I couldn't show my face, so I had to hide in the box and get on the ship secretly."
Xia Laoliu said: "Okay, I'll go right away."
At sunset, Xia Laoliu bought the big wooden box. Zhang Huai got in and tried it. He felt quite satisfied and said, "This box is good."
Xia Laoliu took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it to Zhang Huai: "Brother Zhang, this is the remaining silver."
Zhang Huai smiled and said: "You can carry it."
During dinner, Zhang Huai said: "Brother Six, I can't leave alone, and I have to trouble you to take me to the boat. You go to Boss Zhao tomorrow and say that you want to take his boat to Japan. Let's talk to him first."
call."
Xia Laoliu said: "Then don't I have to go to Japan too?"
Zhang Huai said: "It's okay. After you get to Japan, you can take the boat back. I'll pay for it. You can just go out and relax."
Xia Laoliu thought it would be good to go to Japan, so he agreed.
Zhang Huai asked Xia Laoliu to contact a donkey cart to take them to the dock.
In a blink of an eye, the day came for Mr. Zhao's smuggling merchant ship to set off. Zhang Huai got into the big wooden box, and Xia Laoliu closed the lid and locked it with a padlock. When the donkey cart arrived, Xia Laoliu and the handlebars lifted the wooden box up
The cart and donkey cart left the village and came to the dock.
There are dozens of ships moored at the pier, including smuggling merchant ships and fishing boats.
There is a market to the north of the pier. There are many shops in the market. One of the shops is facing Mr. Zhao's smuggling merchant ship. Two people are lying on the slope of the back room of this shop. They are Mou Rongtian and Shi Yi.
Mou Rongtian was afraid that Zhang Huai would find him and scare him away, so he hid in his room.
General An and four soldiers, all in civilian clothes, stood not far from Boss Zhao's smuggling merchant ship. They pretended to chat, but in fact they were spying.
Boss Zhao stood on the shore and directed the sailors to carry goods to the ship.
The donkey cart stopped near Boss Zhao. Xia Laoliu got out of the car and said hello to Boss Zhao.
Zhao Laodaodao: "Here we come, let's get on the boat."
An Shenjiang knew Xia Laoliu and knew his details. When he saw him carrying the wooden box to the boat with the handlebar, he felt suspicious and walked over to greet him: "Lao Liu, where are you going?"
Xia Laoliu was startled and said with a smile: "I want to go to Japan."
General An Shen said: "Going to Japan? What's in your box?"
When Xia Laoliu saw him asking about the box, he immediately became nervous and said, "Nothing, just some mountain goods. I plan to exchange them for some money in Japan."
An Shenjiang saw the nervous look on his face and felt that it was not as simple as he said. There must be something going on here. So he said, "Put the box down and open it for me to have a look."
Xia Laoliu's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: "This is terrible." He called to the handlebars, and the two placed the wooden box on the ground.
I left my keys at home." He was not good at lying and his acting skills were poor, which further aroused General An's suspicion.
General An Shen ordered his entourage: "Open the box."
One of the attendants pulled out a hidden waist knife, slashed it down, and chopped off the padlock. Another attendant opened the lid of the box. When Zhang Huai heard that the padlock was chopped off, he knew something was wrong. As soon as the lid of the box was lifted, he got up and ran away.
An Shenjiang shouted: "Don't let this kid get away." He followed him with his entourage and chased him.
Xu Xianchun was standing not far away. He was wearing a bamboo hat with a low brim. Seeing Zhang Huai appear, he quickly took out a black cloth, covered his face, and jumped to catch up. He caught up with him in a few leaps.
Zhang Huai slashed at his back with a slanted shoulder blade.
Zhang Huai heard the sound of a golden blade slashing into the air from behind, and hurriedly dodged to the side. He failed to dodge quickly, and was stabbed in the back, causing a large gash. He screamed in pain, and fell to the ground with garlic mixed under his feet.
Xu Xianchun pointed the knife at Zhang Huai's back and was about to stab him when An Shen rushed over and struck him behind. Xu Xianchun heard that the evil wind behind him was not good, so he hurriedly turned around and swung the knife with a "嘡" sound, killing An
An Shen blocked the opponent's right shoulder with another palm, and An Shen was knocked to the ground.
When Zhang Huai saw the masked man appearing in front of him, he was so frightened that he got up and ran away. He only regretted that his parents had lost two legs. Xu Xianchun made another leap and landed behind Zhang Huai. He was about to cut with his knife when something happened behind him.
There was another sound of wind, so he dodged to the side, and a dart flew past him with a whoosh.
The free-hand dart was shot by Shi Yi. Seeing that he missed the hit, he reached into the dart bag again and pulled out an free-hand dart. He raised the dart with his hand and shot it toward Xu Xianchun's back. Xu Xianchun dodged again and shot the second dart.
The unarmed dart also dodged.
At this time, Shi Yi had come behind Xu Xianchun and stabbed him with his sword. Xu Xianchun turned around to parry. When he saw it was Shi Yi, he was surprised and thought: "Why is he here? Mou Rongtian must be here too, right?"
?”
Xu Xianchun looked around and saw Mou Rongtian running towards here from a distance, thinking: "I want bad food." He quickly attacked with several moves and forced Shi Yi back five or six steps, and then jumped to chase Zhang Huai. He watched.
He was about to catch up when the wind started coming from behind again. He hurriedly dodged sideways and another unarmed dart flew past.
Shi Yi knew that he was no match for Xu Xianchun, so he did not dare to get close to him, so he only greeted Xu Xianchun with his darts. He released three more darts at Xu Xianchun, and Xu Xianchun just dodged them when Mou Rongtian ran over and shouted: "
Xu Xianchun, is that you?"
Seeing that Mou Rongtian had discovered his identity, Xu Xianchun was shocked and felt that he had no confidence in defeating Mou Rongtian. If Mou Rongtian caught him, he would be ruined. He didn't want to take the risk, so he ran away.
Seeing that he had escaped, Shi Yi asked Mou Rongtian, "Brother Tian, are you going to chase him?"
Mou Rongtian said: "Let him go, it is important to capture Zhang Huai."
Shi Yi jumped up and landed in front of Zhang Huai, turned around and said with a smile: "Skinny Monkey, where are you going?"
Zhang Huai knew that he would not be able to reap the rewards of Mou Rongtian if he fell into Mou Rongtian's hands. He did not want to be captured without hesitation and had to fight to the death, so he pulled out the steel knife from his back and slashed at Shi Yi.
Shi Yi's martial arts was not very good, but he was more than capable of dealing with Zhang Huai. In just four or five rounds, he kicked Zhang Huai's steel knife away. He put the small sword against Zhang Huai's heart and said, "Don't move."
Zhang Huai was quite obedient and did not dare to act rashly. He begged, "Master Shi, please spare my life."
Mou Rongtian came over and said: "Zhang Huai, you made it difficult for me to find you."
Mou Rongtian and others escorted Zhang Huai back to the General's Mansion. Zhang Huai was tied up and kneeling on the ground. Mou Rongtian asked: "Zhang Huai, tell me honestly, why did you frame Li Tianmu?"
Zhang Huai had heard about the torture of Jin Yiwei and did not want to suffer any physical pain, so he had to tell the truth. After Zhang Huai finished speaking, Mou Rongtian thought to himself: "Who bribed Zhang Huai? Ding Mang's martial arts is not very high, but he is
I can't beat him, it seems like he doesn't look like someone from Dongchang, could he be Luo Yangxing?"
The more Mou Rongtian thought about it, the more he felt that Luo Yangxing had done this. He and Shi Yi escorted Zhang Huai away from Juji Island and arrived at Prince Lu's Mansion a few days later.
Mou Rongtian asked to see King Lu and let his disciples come in to report. When Zhu Yili heard that his disciples said Mou Rongtian was here, his face darkened and he said angrily: "No, no, send him away."
Menzi came back and said to Mou Rongtian: "Sir, my prince doesn't want to see you, please go."
Mou Rong added: "Excuse me, brother, please go and report again. I have brought Zhang Huai with me. Please be sure to meet me."
The disciple went in again to report. He didn't have much time. He came back and said to Mou Rongtian: "My prince will let you in."
