The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 52 Lin Zhongyan Crouching Dragon
The night of the fifth watch is extremely cold, and in the blue and dark colors that are about to dawn, the outline of the mountain stretches towards the west. Under the moonlight, it is hazy and gloomy, and the shadow of a wolf occasionally appears on the distant cliffs, looking up at the moon and howling.

woohoo-

Swaying in the wild wind of the dense forest, with the soft sound of stepping on fallen leaves, several figures sat under the boulder on the gentle slope, the bloody smell faintly dispersed, and was blown away by the wind.

hiss~~
"Those thieves of the Golden Knife Gang, there are still a few who have real skills in their hands, and these two knives are not wronged."

"Uncle Lin, don't say a few words, I'll take a look at the wound."

In the night, there was the sound of fabric hissing and being ripped open. Tang Baoer pulled out the cork of the wine bag, drenched the incision on the man's arm and right shoulder, kneaded a ball of cloth, poured the wound medicine on Lin Lai'en, all of them were born in Jianghu , this injury is not enough to make him frown and groan, looking at the bandages wrapped around each other, he took a sip from the wine bag from the woman's hand, handed it to the next to count eight, count nine, one by one Step on the stone next to him.

".However, I do admire that surnamed Geng. We have been doing things for a long time. Good guy, we messed up in a few days, and killed both of them in one breath. This scholar is really hard to guard against. Hiss, Ouch, take it easy!"

On the shoulder, the bandage was tightened suddenly from the woman's hand. Tang Bao'er gave him a blank look: "He is not a scholar, but a farmer."

On the other side, the two brothers surnamed Chen leaned on their weapons, sipped their drinks and laughed, and Chen Shujiu glanced at Feihu County.

"Girl, with your expression, do you like that kid a little bit in your heart? Our brothers will just tie him up for you, and then go south to join the rebel army."

"Uncle Nine!"

Tang Bao'er stomped her foot, and then used her hands a little carelessly. The painful Lin Kaien grinned and screamed. After the bandage was fastened, the woman poured the water from the water bag and washed her hands. The bright outline of the city smiled.

"Who likes him? Although he's smart, he's glib, and he's not a good match." After a pause, Tang Baoer sat down on the big bluestone, shrunk his skirt, hugged his bent knees, and watched the gradual The clear moon behind the clouds said, "Besides, the master said that the imperial court was corrupt and wanted to save the people of the world from fire and water. Only when the rebel army overthrew the old system can I consider the matter of marriage."

"Haha, I'm afraid you will be an old girl by then!"

The two brothers surnamed Chen and Lin Laien over there all laughed, causing Tang Baoer to stare at them angrily. Just as he was about to speak, a gust of wind blew and shook the forest on one side, and a man's voice suddenly came.

"Bao'er, what's so funny about what you said here, why don't you tell me and listen to it, so that the teacher can smile too."

The voice was upright and majestic, and Tang Baoer on the big bluestone was very familiar. He stood up hurriedly, with a sweet smile on his pretty face, and bowed in a certain direction.

"Disciple Tang Baoer pays homage to Master!"

Chen Shuba, Chen Shujiu, and Lin Lai'en also got up together, half knelt and cupped their fists, and said in unison: "Meet the master!"

The leaves vibrated, and in the swaying forest, a figure stepped on a branch, jumped over the blue sky, and landed on the raised rock of the cliff above the crowd. He stood tall and straight in a white robe and green shirt, with a sword hanging from his waist and a red tassel hanging on his waist. The wind caressed, and there were many white traces in the neatly combed hair.

Looking at the female apprentice he loves, the man jumped down, gently holding Tang Baoer's hands with a purple sheath and green hilted sword in his hand, making her stand up, and then waved his robe sleeves towards the three of them.

"Get up, what happened to what you told me?"

"Report to the sect leader and do it." Chen Shujiu clasped his hands and replied, with a smile on his face, "Golden Knife Clan leader Gao Sheng and his elder brother Gao Jun are both dead."

"it is good!"

Zhuang Renli stroked his short gray beard and smiled, for a moment, he frowned slightly, his eyes swept over the three of them, and then fell on his apprentice's face: "Did you kill both of them?"

The four looked at each other, then shook their heads.

"Reporting to the sect leader, no, it was designed and killed by a man named Geng Qing. We just responded from the sidelines and contributed a lot."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

The martial arts of Gao Sheng and Gao Jun brothers of the Golden Knife Gang are quite capable in Beidi, otherwise the four of them would not have come together to assassinate. The two were dead, and they were killed by design, so they suddenly became interested.

"Master, let me tell you."

Tang Bao'er put down her weapon, and affectionately pulled her master to sit on the side boulder, like a father and daughter sitting there talking and laughing, telling everything about Feifeihu County, the woman knew the most.

".This man doesn't know martial arts. Even swinging a hoe can make him half-dead from exhaustion, but his brain is good. He was unwilling to join hands with us at first, but he killed that high-ranking thief unconsciously. Hearing the news of his death , the three uncles and I were quite surprised.”

From meeting Geng Qing, to hearing about Gao Sheng's assassination, to sending someone to send them a letter to agree on a time and place, and finally forcing Gao Jun to death with words, the woman told the truth.

"Master, do you know? He also said that if the rebel army enters Chang'an in the future, even if he is not invited, he will come to Chang'an to seek an official. By the way, he also has a title, and many people call him Wolong is reborn."

On the side, Zhuang Renli sat still, with his sword quietly laid flat on his lap, listening to the process described by his apprentice, his expression was a bit ugly, "One stone kills four birds, although this person helped you kill two High, but it also ruined our northbound business."

When Tang Baoer and the others looked suspiciously over there, Zhuang Renli got up and took two steps with his sword scabbard in his hand. He was staring straight at the outline of the city with his sword dangling.

"He killed the Gao Brothers, not for you, haha"

"This liar!" Tang Baoer glanced at Feihu County in the distance and frowned.

Over there, the walking figure stood still, ignoring the apprentice's words, and continued: "It's one bird to take back the mine road business; once the high-ranking thief dies, all the top and bottom of the Golden Knife Gang will be in his pocket, this is the second bird." "Selling the favors of the four of you is the third bird; and An Jingsi, the young man who you say is extremely powerful, will definitely temporarily take the post of county captain, and he is the fourth bird."

In the territory of Feihu County, black and white, even if they are not his people, they dare not offend him. This is not considered a merit for the county magistrate. It is amazing. Except for the dead Gao brothers, everyone has received benefits. Just like he got rid of the rich man before, there will only be more and more people in this city who will follow him to do things.But you have forgotten that it was originally to disturb the north, but because of him, this Feihu County can no longer be in chaos. "

"What does Master mean?"

Zhuang Renli turned his head, with a cold expression on his face: "It's all for profit, we all know that it is beneficial to work with him, so how can there be troubles again, hehe, I really want to see this Crouching Dragon come back to life, what kind of person is he?" talented."

"Master, I know where he is, I'll take you there!"

Maybe Tang Bao'er seemed a little lively by the master's side, or she didn't hear her master's tone, took up the weapon and walked forward, seeing that the master didn't keep up, when she turned her head, she saw Zhuang Renli standing where she was, with a strange expression on her face.

"Master?"

Asked softly, Zhuang Renli shook suddenly, his lips parted slightly, a mouthful of blood gushed out, dripped from the corner of his mouth, and dripped down his beard onto his chest.

"Master?!" "Master!"

The four of them quickly went up to help him, and helped him to sit on the bluestone. Zhuang Renli mobilized his inner breath, calmed down for a while, and only then did he make a sound.

"It's nothing. Before I was my teacher, I was an old eunuch who intercepted the court envoy. I didn't expect his martial arts to be so strong. He exchanged palms with the eunuch and was able to escape."

He held Chen Shuba's arm to stand up again, presumably he had been suppressing his injuries when he came here, but now he heard the news from Feihu County, he was frightened and angry, so he couldn't suppress it, let the injuries flare up, rested for a while, and the sky was slightly bright , swallowed the pill to suppress the internal injury, and looked at the woman beside him.

"My good disciple, you are not deeply involved in the world. Don't let anyone deceive you. Just now, there is one thing I didn't say about my teacher. Why did this man force Gao Jun to death with his words? The heads of the four of you will be sent to various states and counties to be apprehended, and the eunuch will also come here, we cannot stay here for long, we will go south and help the rebel army, we must put the overall situation first!"

"Yes, Master."

Tang Baoer bowed her arms and walked a few steps with Zhuang Renli, who was supporting her up. She turned her head and looked at the city immersed in the white belly of the fish in the east. She took two steps back and shouted suddenly.

"fraud--"

Turning around angrily, quickly followed the master and his party, and disappeared into the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.

"Ah!"

The morning sun shone through the window lattice, and the sleeping young man woke himself up with a sneeze. He opened his eyes, sat on the edge of the bed and yawned, "So early in the morning, someone scolded me behind my back?"

At this time, the door suddenly opened with a 'creak' sound, and a thin figure came in with light shining on it.

The girl in plain white dress struggled to bring in a basin of water, the whole wooden basin seemed to be on the girl's body, stumbling about to fall, Geng Qing who was on the couch hurried down to the ground, stepped forward to help her put it on the basin stand .

"I'll do it myself."

"Sir, let Qiaoniang come." She rolled up her cuffs, lowered her head and wrung out the towel with ease, handed it to Geng Qing to wipe her face, and then washed and kneaded it.

Then he squatted down, wiped Geng Qing's hands again, and then staggered out with the wooden basin.

The sound of a girl pouring water came from outside, and Geng Qing came back to his senses from what happened just now, took the mending clothes on the shelf and opened the door, Dachun knocked broad beans and leaned against the eaves with a smile, looking over there again Seeing Geng Qing coming out, the girl who squatted there to wash some clothes, quickly said, "Da Zhu, I didn't ask her to do it."

"gentlemen."

Over there, the girl was thin and thin, she wiped her forehead with her sleeve, got up and turned around, as if she was afraid that Geng Qing would not let her do things, her chest was slightly heaving, she grabbed a piece of laundry in her hand, lowered her head and bit it softly. bit his lip.

".Let Qiao Niang do things. My mother said that if she knows how to do things, people will like them, and then they will have something to eat."

Those words were as thin as the sound of mosquitoes.
