Chapter 208 Want to see Zuo Shuai

When the Golden Crown Taoist leader Cheng Tuding woke up, he opened his eyes and saw that the oil lamp on the table was still on. He saw that the oil was gone and was about to go out.

When I looked again, I saw that the baggage was gone. I was so surprised that I got up in no time.

The Golden Crown Taoist priest took a special liking to his golden crown and would wipe it every day to make it shiny. This was his capital to show off everywhere. Now that the golden crown is gone, why doesn't he become furious?

He checked inside the house and found that the talismans on the doors and windows had not moved at all. Where did the thief come in?

He looked under the bed and saw that the ground was solid and there were no holes. He looked up at the beams. It was so high up there that the thief jumped down from above. He had no reason not to know.

He never imagined that Bai Yuyao used a long bamboo pole to hook up the bundle.

Taoist priest Jinguan was so angry that he opened the door and kicked the innkeeper's door loudly.

At this time, it was still dark, the boss got up, and so did the other tenants in the store.

Taoist priest Jin Guan grabbed the shopkeeper who was over seventy years old and refused to let go. He grabbed his neck and couldn't breathe. His face turned red and he shook his hands wildly.

The other residents couldn't stand it anymore and begged Taoist Priest Jin Guan to let go so that everything would be easier to talk about.

Taoist priest Jinguan said that the baggage had been stolen and the shopkeeper must pay for it. The shopkeeper said, "We didn't take it, so how can I pay for it?"

Everyone came to Taoist Priest Jinguan's house to check, and there didn't seem to be any signs of a thief.

Taoist priest Jin Guan insisted on compensating the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper was anxious and said he wanted to report it to the official.

As soon as Golden Crown Taoist Master heard that he was going to report to the official, the county magistrate would definitely ask about the origin of Golden Crown, and he would be exposed as a traitor, so his tone softened unconsciously.

The tenants also tried to persuade him, and the shopkeeper finally paid more than ten taels of silver and finally gave up.

As Taoist Priest Jin Guan walked on the road, he kept wondering in his heart what kind of martial arts master had stolen it. It seemed that he had come to the south of the Dabie Mountains. This was not his territory. There were many martial arts masters, so he couldn't be too ostentatious.

A group of people bravely headed towards Jiujiang.

When Bai Yuyao returned to the hotel and told what happened, Li Xing was very happy and planned to act accordingly.

At dawn, Li Xing and the other three people, without further delay, mounted their fast horses and headed towards Jiujiang.

A few days later, I came to the edge of the Yangtze River and looked south. Outside Jiujiang City, there were densely packed flags waving, and there were 200,000 troops living there. The military power is very majestic.

Li Xing and the others found a ferry, and the three of them led their horses across to the other side.

Walking eastward along an official road, you will see the rolling Yangtze River on the left, towering mountains and continuous forests on the right, and the Jiujiang City with towering walls in front of you.

The three of them walked for half an hour and arrived outside Jiujiang City. Li Xing ordered Bai Yuyao to wait for Taoist Priest Jin Guan and his group outside the city.

Li Xing led Yang Shucheng towards Jiujiang City. He met patrolling officers and soldiers on the way and asked them if they were spies.

"What spy?" Li Xing asked.

"Is it from the north?"

"Yes."

"It sounds like your accent. What are you doing here?"

Li Xing said: "We want to see General Zuo."

"No. You leave quickly, otherwise, your lives will be lost."

Li Xing hurriedly handed over the silver and said: "We have met General Zuo in Wuchang. This time the general is going east and we are coming from Wuchang. Please forgive me."

This group of patrol sergeants saw Li Xing's generous move and said, "Let's go back and report. You guys stand here and don't run around, otherwise your lives will be at risk."

"Yes. We stand still."

The two stood on the side of the road and waited for two hours, watching the sun almost go down. Then they saw a team coming, and Li Xing hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

The team asked: "Who are you?"

Li Xing hurriedly handed over the famous assassin and said, "Please send it in. Someone will naturally come to take us in."

"Just wait."

Another hour passed before I saw a team approaching and said, "You two, follow us into the city first."

Li Xing and the others led the horses and followed them, but without much delay on the way, they soon arrived in front of the city gate.

Li Xing sent the silver coins again, then opened the city gate and let the two people in.

A leader led the way. The streets were filled with sergeants and no common people, so the defenses were quite tight.

The leader led them to a room and said, "Sit inside and wait until I come in to report."

Li Xing and the other two had no choice but to walk into this room. The residents had been evicted long ago, and the furniture inside was still neat. However, they were just sitting inside, and there was no one waiting on them.

The two of them sat in the main room until dark, their stomachs growling with hunger, and no one came in to say hello.

The two of them couldn't bear it any longer, so they walked out of the room.

Unexpectedly, there were more than a dozen sergeants standing outside the room. Li Xing complained: "Famous assassins were sent in, but they didn't receive them, and they didn't care about us. We're going to starve to death."

"Why are you making such a fuss? You're going to risk your life."

Li Xing explained to him again what he wanted to say about meeting Zuo Shuai. After hearing this, the sergeant just said: "You are hungry, and we are also hungry."

Li Xing had no choice but to contribute another silver from his bag and beg him to ask about the situation.

When the leader saw Yinliang, he started to do good things and said: "Don't run around, otherwise you will die and we will not be responsible. I will go and ask for you."

The sergeant left. It was about two meals before I saw him coming over and said, "I asked for you. Commander Zuo is busy now and doesn't have time to meet you."

"We have important military information to report, what should we do?"

At this time, he saw the previous leader coming and said to Li Xing: "Commander Zuo is very busy and cannot receive him."

"What time?"

The leader said: "I didn't see Commander Zuo, but Commander Zuo said that we have to wait four or five days."

Li Xing added that they were hungry, and the leader said: "We first entered the city, everything is in a mess, please be patient, I will bring someone to deliver food to you right away."

Li Xing came to Jiujiang City and asked Zuo Liangyu for help, so he had to endure it for four or five days.

Not to mention that Li Xing and the others had been waiting for four or five days, but Bai Yuyao had only been waiting outside the city for two or three days when he saw Taoist Priest Jin Guan and his people coming.

Bai Yuyao was waiting on the road, watching the group of people approaching. He took a step forward and said to Taoist Priest Jin Guan: "Taoist Priest, our Commander Zuo knows that you have come all the way, but he is very busy with military affairs and cannot receive you." , he felt sorry for himself, so he sent the young general to give something to the Taoist priest to express Zuo Shuai’s apology, hoping he would accept it.”

Bai Yuyao stepped forward and handed the bundle in her hand to Taoist Priest Jinguan. When she saw him reaching out to take it, Bai Yuyao pulled her horse over and without any nonsense, got on the horse and rode away.

The Taoist priest Jin Guan took the baggage in his hand. Bai Yuyao had already wrapped the baggage with another layer on the outside. Therefore, the Taoist priest Jin Guan held it in his hand. He didn't understand what was inside for a moment.

When I saw this person, I didn't say a word, dropped my baggage and ran away on horseback. I was still confused. How did he know that I was the Golden Crown Taoist Priest?

I couldn't figure it out, so I opened the baggage, one layer after another. It turned out that the baggage inside looked very familiar. When I opened it, I found that the golden crown inside was actually my lost golden crown.

Taoist priest Jinguan couldn't help but feel discouraged. Zuo Liangyu had a capable man under his command. If he wanted to kill himself, he would be able to capture him easily. He just stole the golden crown and sent it back, just to give himself a warning. He didn't want to see him. , how could I go see him again?

I was so frightened and uncertain that I didn't dare to step forward, so I had to lead my men back to the north of the Dabie Mountains first.

Besides, Li Xing and the others were told to wait for four or five days.

But just five days later, I heard shocking news: Zuo Liangyu was dead.
