The rivers and lakes are full of vests

The next day, Fu Peibai came to the small courtyard behind the blacksmith shop in the west of the city as Xie Jingming said.The courtyard door was closed, the door was tightly closed, and it seemed that there was no one there. She waited for half an hour, but the owner still didn't show up. She was about to go to the blacksmith shop to inquire, when she heard a familiar and low-key middle-aged man behind her. Voice, "Master Fu?"

Fu Peibai immediately looked back and saw Sima Tuo standing not far away with a jar of wine, she was slightly startled, the person Li Jingming wanted her to meet was actually Sima Tuo.

"Senior Sima, why are you here?" When she left the southwest, the village was about to resist the invasion of the Central Plains army, but now Sima Tuo appeared in the capital thousands of miles away, and she had a vague premonition in her heart.

Sima Tuo's expression visibly weakened, he pushed open the wooden door of the small courtyard and said, "Go in and talk."

Fu Peibai followed him into the courtyard. Sima Tuo sat on the stone bench, unsealed the wine, and raised the jar to Fu Peibai, "Would you like some drink?"

Fu Peibai hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

While pouring wine, Sima Tuo said, "Not long after you left the Southwest, the Central Plains Army began to march into the hinterland of the Southwest. I don't know how they knew the exact location of the village, and they drove straight into the Miao Village with ease. Most of the people in the village are old and weak. Sick child, there is no room for resistance."

He raised his head and drank a bowl of strong wine, and continued: "They killed all the young and middle-aged people in the village, and arrested all the old and weak women and children, escorted them to Beijing, and waited to be executed after autumn. I escaped under their protection. out."

"I'm ashamed of my grandfather's entrustment. I'm sorry for the whole family. Even He Gu, He Gu died. It was me who failed to protect them." Sima Tuo's face was ashamed, and his eyes were red.

"This time I returned to the Central Plains to save the rest of the clan, and to find out why Tai Zu insisted on destroying the entire Sima family. Something must have happened back then. Even if I die, I will die clearly. "

Fu Peibai thought of how innocent the Miao people were when they were in Miao Village, and they lived carefree in one world, but now they are suffering from this war for no reason, how innocent, she felt a little heavy in her heart, and after thinking for a while, she said: " Senior, I will help you, and I will help you rescue the rest of the tribe."

Sima Tuo didn't refuse. He picked up the wine bowl and respected Fu Peibai, "Okay, on behalf of the whole clan, thank you in advance."

Fu Peibai replied: "It should."

The two clinked bowls and each drank their drinks. Sima Tuo wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth and asked, "By the way, how do you know I'm here?"

"The youngest son of Prince Xiangyang told me that you can help me enter the imperial mausoleum of the former dynasty."

"Jingming? Do you know him?"

"Well, I used to be brothers in the same school as him."

Sima Tuo nodded, "That's it. When my grandfather was still in the court, he had close contacts with the King of Xiangyang's family. Not long before he fled to the southwest, I hugged him as a baby. This time, he also took the initiative to find me. After hearing about my experience, he helped me find such a hiding place."

"You want to go to the former emperor's tomb to find the Dengling Tower?"

Fu Peibai nodded without hesitation, "One is to find Dengling, and the other is to settle some grievances."

"Okay, if I want to find out the truth about why the Taizu exterminated the Sima tribe, I have to start with this imperial tomb. Let's go together."

"But right now the imperial court has officers and soldiers stationed there, so I'm afraid it's not easy to get in."

Sima Tuo waved his hand, "Don't worry, when I followed my grandfather to the imperial tomb of the former dynasty, I accidentally discovered that there was a very secret entrance behind the mountain. It should have been left by the craftsmen of the former dynasty to escape for their lives. Enter, but before that, I have to rescue the clansmen in the prison first."

Fu Peibai nodded, and left the small courtyard after discussing the prison robbery plan with Sima Tuo.It was already dark when she left, and she hurried back to the inn with all her heart, not noticing the black figure lurking in the corner of the fence. forward.

He knocked on the door and said in a low voice, "Sect Master, it's me."

"Come in."

The man entered the house, walked up to Lu Wencheng, and reported to Lu Wencheng one by one the information about Fu Peibai's recent surveillance.

After hearing this, Lu Wencheng murmured, "Isn't Shi Qinghan with them?"

The man nodded, "There is no trace of Shi Qinghan in the city."

"By the way, how is the investigation of the young girl from Wenyangmen that I asked you to investigate?"

"My subordinates are incompetent. I only found out that Shi Qinghan was responsible for the extermination of Wen's family back then, and she planted it on Tianjizong afterwards. But why she did this is unknown. After that, she brought Wen Yang's orphan back to Luoying Sect. He was trained as the teaching envoy of Luoying, and six years ago, he used the technique of disguise to make him pretend to be the peak master and lurk on the mountain."

Lu Wencheng was a little dissatisfied with the results of the investigation, and tapped his fingers on the table, making a crisp sound, "Is that all?"

The black man's heart tightened, and he quickly added: "Although my subordinates haven't found out more, there is one thing that I noticed was a little strange."

"What's the matter?"

"Back then, Mrs. Wen Yang was pregnant with her second child. After the full term, the doctor diagnosed that there was only one child. Our people went to find the medical records of that year. It was true, but the baby was a pair of dragon and phoenix twins. The baby girl, It's that Wenyang young girl."

After Lu Wencheng heard this, his hands stopped, "You mean her identity is different?"

"It's just a subordinate's guess."

Lu Wencheng thought of the translucent eyes of the woman in the dark dungeon, and suddenly had an extremely absurd idea, but only for a moment, he denied this idea.

"I see. Send additional Hanyang staff to continue the investigation. Also, Fu Peibai will continue to monitor them. Don't disturb them. They will always reconcile with Shi Qinghan and enter the imperial tomb. This time, we will just be an oriole .”

"Yes!"

At night, Fu Peibai and Sima Tuo wore face scarves and lurked on the eaves of a residential building not far from the prison in the capital.

Fu Peibai counted the time, and just after a quarter of an hour, the cell door ushered in a change of defense, there was a momentary defensive loophole, Fu Peibai and Sima Tuo jumped out, and jumped onto a tall tree outside the cell wall, the leaves were dense , covering their figures very well.

"Senior, I will go to the wall to get rid of the officer and soldier first. You go along the wall and set fire there. After the fire ignites, I will take advantage of the chaos and enter the dungeon to save people. You prepare the carriage so that they can be sent out of the city. "

Sima Tuo nodded, Fu Peibai pulled up the veil, and fell silently to the corner of the wall. When the yawning officers and soldiers were sleepy, the back of their neck suddenly hurt, and then they lost consciousness and fell limply to the ground.

Fu Peibai dragged him into the shadows, took off the officer's uniform and put it on his body, then took the torch and walked back to the place where the officer and soldier were standing just now, waved it towards the big tree, the dense canopy made a rustling sound and then returned to silence .

After burning a stick of incense, fire and gunpowder smoke burst into the sky from the southeast corner of the prison. Fu Peibai ran to the prison door and shouted: "It's flooded, it's flooded! Go put out the fire! Quick!"

The officers and soldiers outside the prison door panicked when they heard this, and rushed to the southeast in a hurry, leaving a few officers and soldiers guarding the prison door.

Fu Peibai handed the torch to one of the officers and soldiers, "Brother, I'll go in and see if any prisoners are taking advantage of the commotion."

The officers and soldiers were not suspicious at all, and stretched their necks to see the fire in the southeast, "Go."

The corners of Fu Peibai's mouth turned upwards, he couldn't believe that he got in so easily. There were still some officers and soldiers in the dungeon. Fu Peibai passed by them, and they just took a few glances at this somewhat unfamiliar colleague and didn't care too much.

There are two floors below the dungeon, and dozens of prisoners are held in each cell, many of whom are from the Jianghu, who must have been arrested recently for trespassing on the imperial mausoleum of the former dynasty.

Fu Peibai walked to the second basement floor. There were no officers and soldiers guarding this floor, and she saw a group of people in Miao clothes huddled in each cell at a glance.

Seeing her, they all moved to the side at the same time. There seemed to be fear on their faces, and they should have received a lot of criminal laws.

Fu Peibai approached the iron gate and said in a low voice, "I'm here to save you, don't be afraid." However, they couldn't understand Chinese at all, and when they saw Fu Peibai approaching, they backed away even more afraid.

Fu Peibai had a headache. These people obviously didn't know her anymore. She was worrying about how to make them let go of their guard. A young girl in one of the cells pointed at her and jumped up excitedly, babbling about Han Miao. Hybrid languages.

Fu Peibai looked over by the light of the fire, and recognized that this girl was the medical girl who helped him grind Ling Xiaohua back then, and she could speak a little Chinese.

She happily walked over, and said slowly, "You still remember me, right?"

The girl nodded repeatedly.

"You tell them that I'm here to save you, so don't be afraid and follow me."

The girl turned her head to face the people in the cell, chattering and croaking, mixed with hand gestures, the movement became a little louder, and the officers and soldiers yelled at the first floor: "What's the trouble! Do you want to be whipped again?!"

The girl shut her mouth as soon as she heard it, and dared not speak again.

Fu Peibai whispered: "It's okay, don't be afraid." Then she knocked on the iron door, "Be quiet, be quiet."

The swearing of the officers and soldiers on the first floor became quieter, and Fu Peibai spoke a few more words of comfort to the crowd, and was about to find out the wire to unlock the lock, but there was suddenly the sound of chaotic footsteps and the sound of a sword being unsheathed from the dungeon on the first floor.

"Come on, come on, someone is robbing the prison, call for help, hurry up!"

Prison?Fu Pei gave a blank meal. He didn't expect such a coincidence that they were not the only ones who robbed the prison.

A group of old people, women and children in the cell didn't know what happened above, and they cowered together in fright. Fu Peibai didn't have time to explain to them, so he could only speed up the unlocking action.

"Go, go down and check and see if there are any of us."

The sound of footsteps came from the stairwell. Fu Peibai looked over and met a tall and strong man who was going downstairs with a torch. He shouted: "Brother, there is another officer here!"

Fu Peibai was about to open his mouth to reveal his identity, when a series of footsteps sounded, several masked men with swords stood on the stairs looking out, Fu Peibai looked at the familiar facial features of the leading man, and asked tentatively: "Brother Wen?"

The man froze for a moment, stretched the torch forward, and his eyes lit up, "Brother Fu?"

"Yes, it's me, Fu Peibai."

The man tore off the scarf, and it turned out to be Wen Moyao who he met in the southwest. He strode over and stared at Fu Peibai in surprise, "You, why are you dressed like this? You're working in a prison right now?"

Fu Peibai smiled helplessly, "No, I'm the same as you. I also came here to rob the prison. They are all from the southwest Miao Village. They were arrested by the court. I came to rescue them."

"That......"

"Brother, all our people have been rescued, and the government's support is coming soon, we have to withdraw."

"Yes, let's go first, let's talk after we get out." Wen Moyao aimed at the locked door of the second-floor cell, and hacked down hard with a knife, the lock fell off, and the cell door slowly opened, "Brother Fu, take them away."

Fu Peibai nodded, and said to the Miao medical girl: "Tell them to follow me closely, and don't run around after I go out."

Footsteps sounded one after another, and a series of people came out of the prison. The guards outside the prison door had already been dealt with. Sima Tuo had prepared dozens of carriages at the side. He saw Fu Peibai walking with a strange man. Just as he was about to ask, Fu Peibai carried a child into the carriage and said, "Senior Sima, take them out of the city quickly, and I will lure the pursuers away."

Sima Tuo stepped into the carriage, "Okay, be careful yourself, and see you in the small courtyard in the west of the city after I settle them down."

Fu Peibai slapped his horse's ass violently, and watched several carriages gradually drive towards the city gate. At this time, shouts came from the southeast. "Hurry up! Someone is robbing the prison!"

Wen Moyao got on the horse, pulled the reins to control the restless horse, and stretched out his hand to Fu Peibai, "Brother Fu, get on the horse."

Fu Peibai didn't hesitate, and immediately stepped on the saddle and got on the horse.Wen Moyao clamped his horse's belly and headed towards the small road in the city. When he reached the fork, he directed the rest of the people to ride their horses and leave in different directions.

As the flames approached behind him, he led Fu Peibai into the alley, abandoned his horse and walked, ran wildly, turning east and west, and after a while, the two of them left the officers and soldiers chasing behind them far away.

Fu Peibai tore off the kerchief, gasping for breath, the night breeze was slightly cool, but it was especially cool on his face, and his heart felt carefree and happy that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Wen Moyao, like her, panted heavily, with a bright smile on his face. After the two of them recovered, he put Fu Peibai's shoulders, raised his chin, "Come on, go for a drink?"

Fu Peibai smiled and dropped his hand, "No, I have to go back to the inn."

Wen Moyao laughed teasingly, "What, is there someone waiting for you?"

Seventeen heard that Fu Peibai was going to rob prison, and originally wanted to go with her, but Fu Peibai was worried about her health, so he refused to let go no matter what, so Shiqi retreated and said that if she didn't come back in a moment, he would go. find her.

It would be estimated that it was almost midnight, and she had to go back quickly.

"Ah."

"Is that the seventeenth girl?"

Fu Peibai was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Wen Moyao smiled even more happily, "I knew it, I saw that you two are not normal at the beginning, remember to call me when you have a wedding."

Have a wedding...

Fu Peibai didn't know what to think of, her earlobe was a little hot, she coughed lightly, and ended the topic, "Brother Wen, I'll leave first if there's nothing wrong, you should be more careful."

"Okay, but...Brother Fu, are you really not going to revive Ming Xiao? You have such a chivalrous heart, otherwise you wouldn't take the risk of saving these strangers who have nothing to do with you. Jianghu needs someone like you to stand up."

Fu Peibai stood still, she was silent for a while and said: "Brother Wen, to be honest, I am not unwilling, but I am afraid that I have no time to do these things."

"What does that mean?"

Fu Peibai did not feel the heaviness and despair when he first learned that his life was not long, but there was still a trace of sadness in his heart, "Why should I shoulder the world when I am about to die?"

Wen Moyao was surprised: "This! How could this be? What is the disease?"

"Incurable disease, I met a senior medical sage by accident, and even he was helpless about it. The only way to turn things around is to fight with one's life. Do your best and obey the destiny." Fu Peibai smiled lightly: "I promise you, if you If I can survive, I will inherit the will of Senior Yan, revive Ming Xiao, and help the world."

Wen Moyao slid his throat and said softly, "Okay."
