Chapter 130 Thief in the middle of the night

Before dawn, Yang Shucheng got up and walked into the Juyi Hall alone, walking back and forth, waiting for the minions to come back and report the good news.

Unexpectedly, these minions never came back.

Yang Shucheng waited in the Juyi Hall for more than an hour, and it became a little brighter that day.

There was still no one in the cottage. It was freezing cold at this time. The minions had drunk wine last night and were sleeping soundly in the warm quilts.

At this time, Yan Delin had already gotten up and came to the Juyi Hall. He was also a thoughtful person. He took the initiative to offer his advice to the King of Daxi, Zhang Xianzhong, in order to demand the freedom of his family.

He came to Juyi Hall and saw Yang Shucheng alone walking anxiously in the hall.

Yan Delin comforted him and said: "Brother Yang, it's okay. If there is no news, it is good news. Brother Zhang is extremely smart and will definitely be able to turn danger into good."

"I hope so." Yang Shucheng persuaded himself. Zhang Xunmei is far away from home and likes to be nosy. He will definitely be able to resolve the current difficulties.

Sitting and waiting for dawn, at this time, the gangsters in the village finally got out of their beds one by one, and came to the Juyi Hall in great anger to discuss the attack on the county town.

At this time, the minions who went to the foot of the mountain to inquire about the news also came back one by one, reporting that they had not found Wang Hu.

Yang Shucheng was helpless.

The village leader's important affairs must not stop proceeding just because one person is missing.

The leader of the village personally led the troops to attack the county town, leaving the deputy leader to guard the gate of the village. The leader of the village was really interesting. He even sent two of his men to inquire about Wang Hu's whereabouts.

Yan Delin also wanted to leave, and he also wanted to tell the news to Daxi King Zhang Xianzhong as his own contribution to rescuing his trapped family.

Yang Shucheng thought about other people's affairs, which were much more anxious than his own, so he took the initiative to go with Yan Delin. Before leaving, he told the deputy village leader that if Zhang Xunmei came back, let him wait for him in Mingyue Village, and he would come back.

After everything was arranged, the village owner led his troops and left the village.

Before leaving, the leader of the village arranged for the strong man who pulled the cart to follow Yang Shucheng to help pull King Xiaofu to Ma Shiying's military camp. The people in Mingyue Village had no hatred for King Xiaofu and Ma Shiying, and were happy to be friends. Smooth favors.

Yang Shucheng had no choice but to take the two of them back the same way, walked outside the mountain, saw the family from last time, and asked for Xiao Fu Wang back.

In the past few days, Xiao Fuwang has not lost weight, but has gained a few pounds. This family really wanted to spend all the money left by Yang Shucheng, and bought a lot of wine and meat to provide for Little Fu Wang. In fact, they had greedy a lot of money.

How did this little lucky king know? He thought he had eaten and drank. Before leaving, he even thanked them a few words.

The three of them carried Little Prince Fu onto the cart and sat firmly. The strong man pulled the cart in front, and Yang Shucheng and Yan Delin helped push it on both sides.

Going south out of the Dabie Mountains, we have received news that several village leaders in the Dabie Mountains are attacking Macheng County. As expected, Ma Shiying found an excuse not to help Zuo Liangyu. Instead, he led a team to rescue Macheng, saying that he was coming to help Zuo Liangyu from the flank.

Zuo Liangyu had no choice but to rely on his own family to fight against Zhang Xianzhong.

Yang Shucheng found out and directly pulled King Xiaofu to the Ma Shiying military camp.

As expected, Ma Shiying remembered the old love of the old King Fu and personally led his soldiers to greet the young King Fu outside the camp gate.

When Yang Shucheng saw Ma Shiying arriving, he did not want to enter the military camp, so he had to say goodbye to King Xiaofu. Prince Xiaofu was grateful for Yang Shucheng's escort, took Yang Shucheng's hand, and said emotionally:

"No matter when, you come to me."

Yang Shucheng agreed and left with Yan Delin. Due to the fighting between Hubei army and bandits, the road was not peaceful, so he personally escorted Yan Delin to Wuchang occupied by Zhang Xianzhong.

There was no talk along the way. Although there were sporadic officers and soldiers looking for trouble, Yang Shucheng repelled them.

Looking at Wuchang City from a distance, Zuo Liangyu's army was surrounded by mountains and plains.

Yang Shucheng escorted Yan Delin all the way around to the west. Although there was a group of officers and soldiers surrounding the city, the number was a bit small after all. Yang Shucheng drew his sword and fought with them for a while, broke through the siege, and came to the city.

Yan Delin shouted at the bottom of the city, and the guards rushed into the city to report. Not long after, the city gate opened, and a group of people rushed out to welcome Yan Delin into the city.

Yang Shucheng still refused to enter the city. Yan Delin took Yang Shucheng's hand and reluctantly shed tears and said:

"Brother Yang, we say goodbye, I don't know when we will see each other again!"

During the few days that Yang Shucheng was with him, he became very close to him for no apparent reason, and was reluctant to say goodbye. They could have gone to the city to get together for a few more days, but thinking that there was no news from Zhang Xunmei, he had to harden his heart and say goodbye, saying:

"I'll come see Mr. Yan again in the future."

The officers and soldiers surrounded them again, and the two of them stopped talking and raised their hands to say goodbye.

Yang Shucheng faced the officers and soldiers and fought for a while. This time, he deliberately captured a horse, got on the horse, slapped the horse, and the horse carried him and headed north.

Although the officers and soldiers chased for a while, how could they catch up?

Yang Shucheng galloped for a while, then headed northeast again.

A few days later, we walked into the Dabie Mountains again and followed the old road towards Mingyue Gorge.

Because it was an old road, Yang Shucheng was so anxious that he rode into the mountains.

Waiting for the evening of the next day, Yang Shucheng arrived in front of Mingyue Gorge. The mountain road was rugged, so Yang Shucheng dismounted his horse, used Taiqing Qigong, and ran towards the depths of the canyon.

Until it was dark at night, Yang Shucheng went to Mingyue Village. The lights were on in the village. Yang Shucheng's heart was beating wildly, and a line of smoke rushed into the bright light.

Standing outside the door, where is Zhang Xunmei in the room?

Yang Shucheng walked into the house, where several minions were chatting. When he looked up, he saw Yang Shucheng coming in, and heard him hurriedly say:

"Have you found my brother Zhang?"

"We have been asking around the area for the past few days, but there is no news."

Yang Shucheng's face was filled with sorrow. The few men who stayed behind knew that he was superb in swordsmanship and admired him very much. They immediately poured a bowl of wine and advised Yang Shucheng:

"Young Master Yang, Brother Zhang's swordsmanship is so good, he must be fine."

Yang Shucheng said: "He is fine, why don't you leave me a message."

"Maybe Zhang Shaoxia has been delayed by other things. If there is no news, it is good news. Yang Shaoxia, let's have a drink."

Yang Shucheng was always anxious and very thirsty. He picked up the wine bowl, raised his neck and drank it all.

Yang Shucheng stayed overnight in the village. When he got up the next day, he said goodbye and left, saying that he was going to look for Zhang Xunmei.

Yang Shucheng first walked eastward for half a day when he suddenly remembered that the saintly female leader Shuanying once said to me:

"First face east, then face west."

Then I thought that I would send Prince Xiaofu to the east. When Prince Xiaofu arrived at the Ma Shiying military camp, he had already reached the east, and now he should head west.

Yang Shucheng made up his mind and turned towards the west.

After wandering around in the poor valley for several days, I didn't even meet anyone, so I headed south out of the mountain.

There are indeed many people outside the mountain. Yang Shucheng went to the villages to inquire, but there was still no news about Zhang Xunmei. Even in these villages, not even a stranger had passed by for more than a month.

Yang Shucheng had no choice but to continue walking west. That night, I came to a large farmyard. After running around for days, Yang Shucheng didn't have a good rest. Tonight I saw such a neat farmyard.

Yang Shucheng wanted to stay overnight in this village.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, an old man, accompanied by a boy, came and opened the door. Hearing that Yang Shucheng was a tourist passing by looking for his relatives, he warmly invited him into the village.

The old man's surname was Deng. He had lived here for a long time and his family was wealthy. Seeing that Yang Shucheng was from afar, he immediately put out a few bowls of food and invited Yang Shucheng to eat.

After Yang Shucheng finished eating, the old man arranged for Yang Shucheng to stay outside.

In the middle of the night, although it was a cold night, the moonlight was very beautiful. Yang Shucheng couldn't sleep, so he opened the window and admired the moonlight.

The brilliance of the full moon shone like a snow falling everywhere, making everything bright and white.

Yang Shucheng hid behind the window, looking at the moon alone, thinking that he had been wandering around the country and encountering dangers for several years, but his father's revenge had not been avenged, and there was no news at all about his younger sisters Yang Yan and Zhang Xunmei. He couldn't help but feel discouraged and sighed to himself.

At this time, only a slight cough was heard outside the wall, and Yang Shucheng immediately became alert, it was a thief. So he remained silent and waited for the thief to enter the courtyard so that he could catch him for the old man.

After hearing that cough, the door was gently opened, and a woman came out. Judging from her makeup, she looked like a maid.

The maid came to the courtyard and saw that there was no one around, not even a bird chirping. She moved a wooden ladder, came to the wall, and leaned against the high wall.

Yang Shucheng thought that this thief was going to cooperate inside and outside.
