Maung-mei is wrong

In the dark night, there were two people wearing leather suits and flying wings, and they landed slowly near the foot of Changning Peak.

The bright and clear moonlight set, reflecting a pair of frowning faces, it was Dai Yansheng and Wanlifeng.

"It's been several days, and there's no whereabouts of Brother Han and A Xian, what should we do?" Wan Lifeng put his wings away, his brows knit into knots.

Dai Yansheng stretched out his hand to smooth her eyebrows, and said softly: "Don't worry, this kind of thing has happened before, even if we can't find it, Lao Nie will try his best to pass the news to us."

A gust of wind blows, it's obviously not cold, but Wanlifeng suddenly shivered, she held Dai Yansheng's hand: "I always have a bad feeling..."

"Don't think about it. Two years ago, we didn't expect that we would have today. This time, we have left the environment we are most familiar with, and we are always being led by the nose. It is normal for us to be unsure." Dai Yan said loudly. She walked forward, "In this case, don't make things difficult for yourself. If you don't have self-confidence, then trust your companions."

The heat from his palm gave Wan Lifeng some comfort, she nodded slightly, and walked side by side with Dai Yansheng.

Martial law is still in the city, and Song Mingchong doesn't know what's going on. He who had been helping the red boas all the time suddenly started to spare no effort to track down their whereabouts.

The two of them escaped the investigation through disguise before, but when they went out of the city tonight, they received strict investigations, and now they want to go back, feeling that the risk is quite high.

When approaching the horse trail at the foot of Changning Peak, Wan Lifeng said again: "It's too dangerous to stay in the city. After we go back to meet Brother Zuo this time, we'll come out and find a cave on the mountain to settle down."

Dai Yansheng thought for a while: "Okay, listen to you."

"I don't know what's going on with Yu Shu, I don't trust him."

"Brother Zuo will watch him, and Song Mingchong won't notice if the lights are dark." Dai Yan said, "In this way, Song Mingchong will watch Qin Luoyu for us. I don't believe that there are many officers and soldiers guarding her. Get the message out."

Wan Lifeng was still worried: "It's hard to say whose side Song Mingchong is with."

"What the hell! To put it bluntly, even if Qin Luoyu is really a nail, it's useless. We don't know anything. Even if Song Mingchong arrests us all, we won't be able to interrogate them." Dai Yansheng led the horse tied under the tree, He sneered and said, "I have been working as a red boa for so many years, this time is indeed the worst failure! The most difficult thing to deal with is not the Duyu people, but our own people!"

"Don't be so eccentric." Wan Lifeng got on his horse.

Sitting behind her, Dai Yansheng leaned into her ear and smiled, "If you're not yin and yang, how about my affection?"

Wan Lifeng avoids his lips, and punches his elbow in the ribs: "I'm so careless, let's go!"

Dai Yansheng hooked the corners of his lips, grabbed the reins, and clamped the horse's belly with his legs: "Drive!"

The two rode quickly back to Liangfu City, the journey was very peaceful, only the moonlight and tree shadows accompanied them, but Dai Yansheng always felt that something was wrong.

It seemed too peaceful.

However, this road has always been quiet like a ghost at night, Dai Yansheng thought about it, and thought maybe he was thinking too much.

But just now he felt that Wan Lifeng worried too much, so he suddenly raised his vigilance and paid close attention to the surrounding situation.

When passing the ten-mile slope, he suddenly noticed a cold light flashing on the ground not far ahead, and said, "No, there is a tripping rope!"

Dai Yansheng didn't have time to rein in the reins, so he jumped up from the horse with Wan Lifeng in his arms, and was about to jump to the tree next to him, but unexpectedly, a large net fell down, engulfing the two of them.

In a hurry, Dai Yansheng turned around and placed under Wan Lifeng's body, and the two of them fell firmly to the ground.

The horse let out a long cry, tripped over the tripping rope in front of him, and fell with a "bang".

Wan Lifeng grabbed the grid angrily: "Damn, how dare you plot against my old lady! Song Mingchong, get out! How shameless are you to use this kind of hurtful trick?! If you have the ability, come out and fight with real swords and guns!"

A dozen officers and soldiers flashed out under the trees on both sides of the road. It turned out that they also set up a big net on the other side. The tripping rope only forced them to jump. No matter which direction they jumped, they would fall into the net.

The officers and soldiers automatically divided into two teams, one of which tightened the net covering Wan Lifeng and Dai Yansheng, for fear that they would escape.

Song Mingchong, dressed in casual clothes, walked over from behind the officers and soldiers with his hands behind his back. Seeing the distressed appearance of the two of them, he chuckled lightly: "We still have to use nets to catch you. This trick is really tried and tested."

Dai Yansheng hugged Wan Lifeng to prevent her from making unnecessary struggles. He looked at Song Mingchong coldly: "It seems that Wenzhou was also the idea of ​​Mr. Song? Your behavior is so inconsistent, are you a human or a ghost? "

"Is it so important whether it's a human or a ghost? As long as the goal can be achieved." Song Mingchong smiled, "Besides, I'm ordered by the emperor to hunt you down, so of course I have to do my best. I hope you don't resist anymore. Your arms can't twist your thighs. Why bother? If you can cooperate well, I will be able to plead with the emperor for you in the future."

Wanli Feng's eyes were red with anger: "Don't forget your blood feud with Duyu people! You can't treat a thief as your father!"

"Feng'er, you don't need to tell him more." Dai Yansheng stared into Song Mingchong's eyes, as if he had seen something, "The situation is stronger than people, let's admit it."

Song Mingchong nodded: "Master Dai is really a hero. Anyway, you were my subordinates. As long as there are no more troubles, I will definitely not embarrass you. Come and take them away!"

----

Zuo Hengqiu searched in the mountains all night yesterday, and returned to Master Guo's courtyard at noon today, and slept until night before waking up.But he didn't sleep soundly, he was confused and full of dreams, he dreamed that Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian were being tortured for a while, and for a while he dreamed that Xiang Yu Shu was covered in blood, he slept very badly.

After waking up, he inexplicably felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if something was about to happen, so he still pretended to be Li San, first went around outside Qin Luoyu's small courtyard, and when nothing happened, he ran to the yamen again, and went straight to Master Guo's office, want to check the situation.

Song Mingchong stepped up his vigilance in the past few days, and the mansion was constantly on the move. Even though it was already midnight, the whole courtyard was still brightly lit, and the master and the magistrate dared not leave even half a step.

As soon as he entered the office, Zuo Hengqiu asked: "Master, is there anything going on today?"

Master Guo was at his desk, helping the magistrate to write a notebook. Hearing this, he just glanced back at him, then turned around and continued writing: "I never heard of it. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Mr. Song? Why are you here again?"

He is five years older than Zuo Hengqiu, and these days he regards Zuo Hengqiu as his younger brother, and he is very concerned in his words.

"Let's take a look at the situation." Zuo Hengqiu said, "I don't know what the hell that Song is up to. He says one thing and does another, I'm afraid he's playing tricks."

Master Guo finished writing the last few words and put down the pen: "That's right. After getting along for a few days, I always feel that he hides a knife in his smile, and he is a person with deep thoughts."

"Is he in the government office at the moment?"

"It should be here. I didn't hear that he was going out."

Hearing that nothing happened, Zuo Hengqiu was a little relieved, but thought it would be better to make sure, so he turned his head and walked outside: "I'll take a look to save him from playing with the golden cicada to get out of his shell."

Not long after walking out of the office, there was a commotion in the yard, and someone shouted loudly: "Take care of them, if anything happens, just wait and go to jail!"

Hearing that the accent was from Tangzhou Mansion, Zuo Hengqiu immediately became alert, followed the sound to find the past, went to the corner and looked around, and saw the soldiers brought by Song Mingchong escorting Dai Yansheng and Wanlifeng past!

His scalp went numb, and he quickly retreated behind the wall, his heart beating violently.

Even Master Dai and Xiaofeng were arrested, this Song Mingchong really has a hand!

Zuo Hengqiu hid in the shadow behind the wall and was thinking of countermeasures when he heard the soldiers say again: "One man and one woman, let's score the switch?"

Another person said: "Don't divide them. There are no prisoners in the women's prison now, and we don't have enough manpower. We have to arrange someone to watch when we separate. They are comrades. They are used to eating and living together. Lock them up together!"

"Master Song wants to interrogate?"

"My lord has said that the red boas are of one mind. They will definitely not come out of the trial, so they should be locked up first. Anyway, they have also made meritorious deeds for the country. Everyone, please be polite."

"Yes!"

Zuo Hengqiu thought about it, so he retreated to Mr. Guo's office, stayed for half an hour, and then wandered out, pretending to greet the passing officials, and quickly walked to the male prison in the backyard.

Several sentry posts were arranged outside the prison cell, most of them were soldiers from Tangzhou Mansion, who cast scrutiny on everyone who passed by, but it didn’t seem particularly embarrassing. Zuo Hengqiu saw a few soldiers who returned to Liang Mansion The yamen servant went over with the food box, but only asked a few more questions, and someone looked through the box.

So he planned to sneak in under the pretext of asking a few words for the magistrate, first to see the situation, and not in a hurry to rescue him.

However, when Zuo Hengqiu approached the men's prison and met the guarding soldiers' eyes, he felt inexplicably agitated.

He subconsciously thought, Master Dai and Xiaofeng were also very vigilant, how could they be caught by Song Mingchong?

Could it be that their whereabouts have been grasped by the other party?

Then next, Song Mingchong will definitely use Master Dai to trap himself and Yu Shu!

Zuo Hengqiu immediately stopped, looked steadily at the few people outside the male prison, pretended to suddenly think of something, scratched the back of his head, turned and left.

However, the other party had already seen through his intentions. Zuo Hengqiu didn't take a few steps when he heard the sound of piercing through the air. He instinctively pulled out his saber and knocked down the arrow that was coming at him with a "bang". !

"catch him!"

"Don't let him run away!"

In an instant, there were shouts from all around, and countless arrows were shot out again, Zuo Hengqiu felt as if he was trapped in a valley, and the top of his head was full of arrows shooting towards him!

He instinctively swung the saber to resist, but he was really out of his wits. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and his movements were slowed down a bit. Two more arrows hit his back and lower abdomen, and the saber fell out of his hand immediately. , "Bang" and fell to the ground.

Zuo Hengqiu felt that his eyes began to become a little blurry, and he knew that the arrow must have been poisoned. He clutched his shoulders and fell to the ground, thinking to himself in self-deprecating, the good luck along the way, could it be that it has really come to an end?

Seeing Zuo Hengqiu hit by an arrow, a soldier shouted: "Stop! Don't hurt his life!"

The rain of arrows finally stopped, and then a soldier approached, trying to restrain Zuo Hengqiu, but at this moment a man in black suddenly jumped down from the eaves.

This person did not draw his sword, but the speed of the sword was very fast. Before the people around could see clearly what was going on, the soldiers who were walking towards Zuo Hengqiu were hit on the forehead by the end of the scabbard and knocked unconscious on the ground. When God came, the man in black had already taken Zuo Hengqiu to the roof and fled!

The soldiers standing in the yard looked at each other, and they couldn't believe what happened just now. In just the blink of an eye, that man easily rescued him. This skill is too weird!

When Zuo Hengqiu woke up, the numbness in his body had not faded away, he heard the beeping of the firewood beside him, and he vaguely recognized that he was in a ruined temple at this moment, so he exhaled lightly, and slowly close your eyes.

A man brought in a bundle of firewood and saw his eyelashes quivering slightly, so he smiled and said, "Don't pretend to be sleeping, Brother Zuo! You still want me to serve you?"

"It's rare for me to get hurt, old man. It's your blessing to serve me, right?" Zuo Hengqiu felt a little vain, but he spoke with confidence. The pain on his body was just a superficial injury. It doesn't matter.

The "Second Master" he was talking about was Ling Qingbi, whose face was completely changed at this moment, which was naturally the result of the disguise.

Ling Qingbi sat beside Zuo Hengqiu, took a branch from the firewood he picked up, and poked his leg: "Hey, the injury is not serious, I wrapped it for you myself, don't pretend."

"I kind of know why you're still single." Zuo Hengqiu opened his eyes and sat up covering the wound on his shoulder. This movement pulled the other two wounds, causing him to grin in pain.

Ling Qingbi smiled, and threw the branch in his hand into the fire in front of him: "What's the matter with you? Are you playing off?"

The weather was so hot that it was not supposed to start a fire, but Zuo Hengqiu had injuries on his body and the ground was damp, Ling Qingbi was afraid that he would be invaded by wind and evil, so he could only hold back the heat and light the fire, and the two of them stayed as far away as possible.

"Almost. The last time I came back from Mr. Han, I found that Song Mingchong led his troops to chase us here, saying that he wanted to arrest us. I thought it was a bluff, and maybe he would help us secretly. I didn't expect it to be real this time. Grandpa Dai and Xiaofeng were caught by them just now, and they used them to hook me—but why did you appear here?"

"After seeing him last time, Mr. Han was worried, so he asked me and my eldest brother to bring someone over. After all, you are wanted criminals, haha! It seems that he knows who Song Mingchong will wear a pair of pants with." Ling Qingbi poked the fire, Continued, "Didn't you say that Yi Rong was lurking in the Guiliang government office? I went to find you, but when I arrived, I saw a group of them besieging one. I recognized you from your figure and sword skills." I rescued you easily. But I think the surname Song was merciful to you. The bowstrings in the hands of those soldiers were not tightened, and the arrows were not pierced deeply. Most of them aimed at your shoulders, arms and legs. Life."

Zuo Hengqiu also noticed this, it seems that Song Mingchong didn't intend to drive them all to death, then he sighed and said, "Who knows what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd. Where's Brother Kong?"

"The waterway we are taking, they are still on the boat in Yangbo Port, I will come over to check the situation first." Ling Qingbi said, "Master Dai and the others were arrested, and now you are injured again. There are a total of six people, you broke three, and the rest How many next?"

Zuo Hengqiu smiled wryly: "It's not that I broke three, but five. The remaining one may still have nails around it. I don't know if it can be used. It's barely half. No, I can't say that, I can still move. Well, six people, count as the remaining two and a half."

Ling Qingbi's eyes widened in surprise: "Oh, it's so miserable!"

"That's not the case. Didn't you come to help? If Lao Nie and A Xian can escape, we have enough manpower." Zuo Hengqiu said, "Master Dai Xiaofeng can save you at any time, it's okay."

Ling Qingbi nodded slightly with his mouth curled up, as if he suddenly remembered something, he reached out and touched Zuo Hengqiu's ear: "Are your ears okay?"

"just OK."

"to be frank."

"..." Since Ling Qingbi knew about it, Zuo Hengqiu did not hide it, "The injury is healed, the hearing is not as good as before, now I can only rely on the other ear."

"You can't be cured by wearing a magic doctor?"

Zuo Hengqiu smiled: "He can heal injuries, but he can't do anything about restoring hearing, so don't embarrass others."

Ling Qingbi frowned and said, "Does Nie Yunhan know?"

"He is very careful, so he might be aware of it, but he didn't ask me, maybe he was afraid that I would be sad." Zuo Hengqiu said sadly, "Why bother to explain things that everyone can't do, it will only add to the sadness? He's got enough on his back, and I don't want him to worry about me."

---

In the main hall of the government office, Song Mingchong sat on the armchair under the hall, leaning on the armrest with his elbows, and resting his fingers on his forehead. After listening to his subordinate's report, his face remained expressionless.

The subordinate didn't know what Song Mingchong was thinking, so he said tremblingly: "My lord...do you want to search the city more vigorously? Zuo Hengqiu is injured, so it shouldn't be hard to find."

"Do you know who the person who rescued him was?"

"This one……"

"That man single-handedly rescued Zuo Hengqiu so quickly under the noses of a group of you. I can only think of those few people after listening to your description of the skills and what I saw in Wulingdu." Song Mingchong had a deep meaning. Said, "It seems that he is clearly opposing me."

What he said sounded like he was talking to himself, and his subordinates looked at his expression, wondering who "those" and "he" were referring to, but they didn't dare to ask.

Song Mingchong didn't know what he was thinking, and he turned his head to look at his subordinates after a while: "Search the city as you like. You don't need to look for him specially. Anyway, with Dai Yansheng and Wanlifeng around, don't worry if they can't come to your door."

"Yes!" The subordinate clasped his hands, "What about Xiang Yu Shu? Are you going to arrest him and put him in jail?"

Song Mingchong stroked his beard and said, "No, just let him be kept in the dark, let them all be kept in the dark. Although Lingyi is easy to use, but there is no tacit understanding. For Nie Yunhan and Zuo Hengqiu, Xiang Yushu is The only exit. If Nie Yunhan can return to the city, the child will come in handy."

The subordinate leaned over and said, "Obey!"

---

In the early morning, the sun shines brightly in the small courtyard, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Qin Luoyu is hanging the freshly washed clothes on the clothesline. It is clearly a beautiful picture of the quiet years, and it is also the life that Xiang Yushu yearns for, but he opens the door and comes out Seeing all this, I didn't feel comfortable and comfortable, and still had a bitter and bitter look on my face.

"Sir, you haven't been able to lift your spirits these days. Is there something wrong?" Qin Luoyu walked up to him with a bucket and asked with concern.

Xiang Yu Shu shook his head, forced a smile: "It's okay."

"That's good." Qin Luoyu stood on tiptoe, kissed him lightly on the lips, and said with a smile, "Actually, I'm really happy that you can stay with me at home these two days."

Xiang Yu Shu caressed her hair: "I will try my best to accompany you in the future. If you are free, why not think about where you plan to live, and when things are over here, I will take you there to settle down. "

"Okay! I will definitely think about it!"

I don't know what kind of bird is so understanding, and at this moment, it called out crisply, and the voice was melodious, as if it was playing music for them.

Xiang Yushu walked into the yard, looked around, but saw no trace of the bird, only the familiar yamen servant on the roof.

Qin Luoyu took Xiang Yushu's hand: "Sir, what are you looking for?"

"The bird chirping just now is very nice, I want to see what kind of bird it is." Xiang Yu Shu originally wanted to say "quite special", but changed his words for some reason.

"Oh, I've seen this bird before. It's very beautiful, but it's afraid of people. It flies away when people approach it. Its cry is really nice." Qin Luoyu laughed, "If my husband feels bored, why don't I play the pipa for you? ?”

Xiang Yu Shu thought for a while: "Alright, you've been thinking about your pipa for so long, you must have had itchy hands already?"

"How can... If you don't practice the piano, you will be unfamiliar. You go to the stone table and wait for me. I will get the piano."

After a while, Qin Luoyu came over with the pipa in his arms, and sat facing Xiang Yushu.

She plucked the string twice, frowned and said: "I haven't played for a long time, the string is loose, I'll tune it."

Xiang Yu Shu propped his hands on the stone table, looked at her with his chin: "No rush."

Qin Luoyu lowered his face, adjusted the strings with his slender and slender fingers, and plucked them a few times from time to time, making a monotonous sound, which was not unpleasant at all, crisp and raw, like an extremely simple piece of music.

Xiang Yushu raised his eyelids inadvertently, looked at the yamen servant on the roof, saw him standing up straight, looking somewhere, with a slight frown between his brows.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Xiang Yu Shu shouted at him, "Have you found anyone suspicious?"

The yamen servant turned his head after a while, looked at him and said, "It's nothing, I was wrong."

Xiang Yushu nodded: "Thank you."

Qin Luoyu finally tuned the strings, and looked at Xiang Yushu embarrassedly: "It's tuned, I'm starting to play."

"Only playing?" Xiang Yu Shu teased with a smile, "If you want to sing, I can listen to it too, but there is no reward."

Qin Luoyu blushed: "My husband, what kind of reward do you want...I'll sing whatever you want to hear."

The two of you glanced at each other and teased me. Qin Luoyu played a few songs and sang a few more. Most of the morning passed, and the sun rose to the sky, and the temperature and sunlight became scorching. .

"Sir, are you hungry? I'm going to prepare lunch." Seeing Xiang Yu Shu nodding slightly, Qin Luoyu put down the piano and went to the kitchen on the other side.

As soon as she left, Xiang Yu Shu suddenly felt dispirited, and planned to go back to the room to stay, but before he got up and took two steps, he heard the sound of Zuo Hengqiu's crow whistle, and his spirit was shaken immediately.

He also instinctively looked at the yamen servant on the roof, and found that the other party didn't pay attention, thinking that Zuo Hengqiu must have changed his face, maybe he came in the yamen servant's uniform, so he breathed a sigh of relief and listened carefully to the whistle news.

Zuo Hengqiu roughly told him about the arrest of Dai Yansheng and Wan Lifeng, but he also reassured him that the two of them were not in any danger, and that they would be rescued if they found a suitable opportunity; he also told him that Ling Qingbi and others were coming. For helping matters, let Xiang Yushu stay at ease, and will definitely come to him if there is anything to do.

Xiang Yu Shu didn't take the whistle, so he whistled twice casually in response, and his mood became visibly better, and he walked briskly into the house.

As soon as he walked to the door and pressed his hand on the door panel, a scene suddenly flashed in his mind: it was in Hongxi Peak, they held down the few people who were privately sending messages with Guan Pingye, at that time the other party The bird's call used seemed to be exactly the same as the bird's call he heard just now, which was the "beautiful bird" in Qin Luoyu's mouth!

The secret language used by everyone is different, so they couldn't hear what the message was, but since it is a secret language, there are rules.

Bird chirping, string tuning, regularity.

Always wanting to return my piano, the strange look of the yamen servant on the roof, and the sudden performance.

Xiang Yu Shu seemed to have thought of something, his face turned pale.
