Chapter 16 Zangzhoupu

The next day, Lu Fengtai sent people to search for fugitives in the city, causing quite a commotion.

From this, in a certain room in Luzhou City, Gao Changshou walked a few steps, and said slowly: "It seems that Yang Xiong has indeed escaped, but I don't know if it's true, or are they deceiving?"

Bai Cangshan stroked his beard and pondered: "It would be too easy to say it is true... But if it is false, there are indeed important officials in the Song court who support us in restoring the country, and it is not unusual to send people to help."

"That young man holding a token on the street that day?"

"It might be him." Bai Cangshan said, "but this is on Huaiyou, they may not be able to protect us. According to Erzi, the Taiping Inn where they stayed was being watched by people, and the young man seemed to be He has contacts with Lu Fengtai, it's hard to say whether this person is worth trusting..."

At this point, the short and strong man named Erzi has rushed back, walked quickly in front of them, and whispered quickly: "I saw the mark..."

~~
As the evening approached, in the Taiping Inn, Nie Zhongyou stood in the yard looking into the distance, and finally his eyes fell on the eaves of a tea house.

In the teahouse, Lu Fengtai was also looking at Nie Zhongyou.

They used to be comrades who fought side by side, but now they stand on different positions... so that's it.

As the sun gradually went down, Lu Fengtai stood up and muttered: "It seems that he won't move anymore..."

After confirming this matter, he went to Cangzhoupu on the outskirts of the city.

Cangzhoupu is one of the eight scenic spots in Luzhou, known as "Grass Cangzhou".

During the Three Kingdoms period, the reason why Zhang Liao was able to defeat Sun Quan in Xiaoyaojin was because he expected Sun Quan to come the year before, so he dug Zangzhoupu and hid his warships here.

Now the flowers and bamboos are luxuriant here, and it has become a beautiful scene. The Nanfei River flows through it, and the riverside port is densely covered with branches and reeds.

But when the sky is completely dark, the scenery looks desolate.

Lu Fengtai arranged people around, but he didn't get too close, so as not to alarm those Dali people.

They hid in the reeds, raised their heads and looked out, and they could see Li Xia and Yang Xiong standing by the river waiting.

After a long time, four figures emerged from the reeds.

Lu Fengtai frowned, because he didn't know when they were hiding inside.

He raised his hand, signaling his subordinates to slowly surround him.

The four people were quite vigilant, asking questions while walking towards Li Xia and Yang Xiong.

"Yang Xiong, is that you?"

"Yes, this brother Li Xia saved me. He was sent by Lu Taiwei, and there is a token to prove it."

"Great! Dare I ask if Brother Li still has companions?"

The two people over there were talking and getting closer.

On this side, Lu Fengtai took light steps, and led people slowly approaching.He tried to hold his breath, for fear of alarming these long-sought fugitives...

suddenly.

"There is an ambush! Let's go!"

"Well you little wolf cub!"

Under the moonlight, a short and stocky figure swung his knife at a slender figure.

That was Erzi slashing at Li Xia.

"Take it!" Lu Fengtai shouted.

The officers and soldiers no longer cared about hiding their whereabouts, and rushed up quickly.

Lu Fengtai looked over and saw Li Xia stepping back, dodging Erzi's knife, and fell to the ground.

Then, those Dali people actually pulled out a small boat from the reeds, climbed up quickly, and left the shore with a push of the pole.

"It's been tricked! Let's go..."

"Light up the torch! Don't let them escape!" Lu Fengtai yelled, "Keep an eye on me, don't let anyone go!"

Soon, the officers and soldiers lit torches and chased to the shore.

I saw five people standing on the small boat, paddling and pole-pulling desperately, trying to escape from the Nanfei River.

"Go into the water and chase!"

"Yes!"

There was a "plop" sound, and many officers and soldiers jumped into the water and swam towards the small boat.

After Lu Fengtai had set it up properly, he turned to look at Li Xia, and saw that he had stood up from the ground, but he was not injured.

At this time, the small boat had traveled a long way up the Nanfei River, and there were many officers and soldiers swimming behind it, Lu Fengtai waved his hand, and led the rest of the officers and soldiers to catch up on the bank.

Li Xia quickly followed behind Lu Fengtai.

"They're too alert."

"They can't escape." Lu Fengtai said, his eyes were full of confidence.

……

Time passed bit by bit, the moon hid in the clouds and came out again, the moonlight was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, and the five figures on the boat never left the sight of the officers and soldiers.

That means they really can't escape.

After a long time, the five people's movements slowed down, they gradually became weak, and the officers and soldiers chased closer and closer.

Lu Fengtai's footsteps gradually slowed down, and he suddenly turned his head and said to Li Xia, "You are very smart, but unfortunately, this is a dangerous move by soldiers, and they are destined to be unable to escape."

Because he was about to catch those people, he had relaxed a lot, but there was also some disappointment in his eyes.

"what?"

"You understand what I said, this time it's not that they were too vigilant, but you reminded them to escape." Lu Fengtai said: "But I don't understand why you did this, you clearly know that we are right."

Li Xia was silent.

"Li Xia, I really appreciate you. Even if you lied to me, I think you did a great job this time. First, you guessed that I had already caught someone, and you used a trick to help Yang Xiong out of trouble, and then reminded you with a sign. Gao Changshou is preparing the ship, right?"

Li Xia shook her head.

Lu Fengtai patted his arm again, and said: "Forget it, it's fine if you don't admit it. I just don't know what you think, anyway, I finally took down these people, and I can still remember your first achievement. In the future, we will Let the brothers serve the country together in Huaiyou, okay?"

After he finished speaking, he smiled and looked at the river again, only to see officers and soldiers boarding the boat...

Someone was running towards here with a torch.

"Is everyone's head here?!"

Lu Fengtai turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I lost Nie Ping in the afternoon, and I wanted to report it, but I couldn't find Dutou..."

"Nie Ping?" Lu Fengtai waved his hands and said calmly, "It's not important anymore."

He ignored this subordinate and shouted towards the river: "Catch alive!"

Suddenly, someone on the boat shouted: "Lu Fengtai! What did I do that you want to arrest me?!"

Lu Fengtai was taken aback for a moment, but was a little stunned.

……

The night wind is very cool, the water on the Nanfei River is sparkling, and the riverside is full of reeds.

The small boat on the river was led by officers and soldiers to float towards the river bank.

Lu Fengtai's eyes widened, and he saw clearly the people on the boat with the torches and moonlight...

"Feng Miaoshou, Ma Qiuyang, Wu Tong, Feng Xiaoying, Liu Nu."

He read the names one by one, and his anger grew, and he shouted: "What do you mean by Yinglue Society?!"

"I asked you, you asked me?"

A member of Yingluedu named Feng Miaoshou stood on the small boat, straightened his robes, and said, "I'm going to go boating on a moonlit night, and you arrested me for no reason, what do you mean?!"

Lu Fengtai opened his mouth, but couldn't answer for a while.

He turned to look at Li Xia, the disappointment in his eyes grew stronger, and he asked, "Where's Yang Xiong?"
