Chapter 213 Surrounded?

The curtains were billowing, and the not-so-strong canopy beds in the inn made an overwhelmed light noise in the late summer noon.

Pei Xiangjun sat on the head of the bed in a duck sitting posture, wearing Luo Ning's black tulle triangle gown, two peony flowers were dotted at the key points, the hollow fabric was collapsed very tightly, making people very worried that the tether would not Will break due to the heavy weight.

Luo Ning sat in the middle in a similar posture, facing Pei Xiangjun, wearing exactly the same clothes, but the color was slightly different.

Because her legs were weak, Luo Ning leaned forward slightly, leaning into Pei Xiangjun's arms, her chin resting on her shoulders, her eyes closed and she remained silent, her expression still aggrieved.

Pei Xiangjun's face turned red and he felt a little dizzy when he was so quick to talk. Seeing that Hu Meizi was pretending to be dead again, he raised his hand and patted Luo Ning's waist:
"Hurry up, there's something else to do later, don't waste time."

"Ugh……"

Luo Ning frowned slightly, opened her eyes, followed Pei Xiangjun's back, and looked at Ye Jingtang:
"You can't eat enough, right? Is this the quarter of an hour you said?"

"..."

It was inconvenient for Ye Jingtang to speak, but with a smile in his eyes, he signaled: All right, all right...

……

After a long time.

After the lunch break, Ye Jingtang took a cold bath, came to the stables refreshed, fetched the horses and waited under the inn.

Looking up, Niao Niao, who had been left hanging outside for a long time, was very unhappy. He raised his head and looked into the air, with a look of 'huh!Niao Niao doesn't want to talk to you about his appearance.

"Hehehe~..."

"grumble?!"

Niao Niao turned her head back, her eyes were full of shock, then she rushed down and slapped Ye Jingtang with her wings.

Ye Jingtang comforted Niao Niao, waited for a while, and the two women came down from upstairs.

Pei Xiangjun changed into a black military uniform, with a veiled cap on his head, he looked very chivalrous, but his expression was unnatural.

It was the first time for Pei Xiangjun to go downstairs since he finally got married. He didn't feel it when he was in the house, but after taking two steps, he realized that his legs were sore, and he was a little embarrassed to go out...

But seeing that Luo Ning's figure was straight and normal, Pei Xiangjun still didn't show these abnormalities, so as not to be laughed at by Hu Meizi.

Luo Ning was afraid of being caught by her old best friend Shuishui, so she wore a bamboo hat and a face scarf, covering her tightly.

Because Ye Jingtang was disobedient just now, and Sanniang was acting as a pawn for the tiger, Luo Ning put on a posture of rejecting others, and ignored Ye Jingtang.

Ye Jingtang knew that he was too pushy just now, and after a few words of coaxing, he got on his horse, and the three of them left the town together...
-
Wanshui Town is located along the banks of the Wujiang River, and a hundred miles to the west is the mouth of the Wuxi River, basically bordering Zezhou.

In the afternoon, by the river outside the town.

Xuanyuan Hongzhi stood alone at the entrance of the official road, the black cloak on his back was rattling by the wind of the river, his gaze stayed on the two fast horses in the distance.

Hoof, hoof--

Amid the rapid sound of horseshoes, two black dots gradually appeared in the field of vision from far to near.

The leader was an old man with a spear hanging on the side of his horse. Although he was wearing a mask to prevent wind and sand, Xuanyuan Hongzhi could recognize him as the well-known 'Fan Baye' in the green forest of Zezhou.

Junshantai is a power in the Jianghu, but according to the division, it belongs to the righteous way of the Jianghu like Honghualou and Shuiyunjiantan. It does serious business, accepts the control of the imperial court, and is not wanted by the imperial court. It can walk outside in an open and honest manner.

The Pingtian Sect and the Hongshan Gang are pure gangsters who take over the mountains to become kings and engage in black production. Under normal circumstances, they would not move around under the eyes of the court.

The same is true of ordinary Jianghu people. There are decent people who run darts and boats, and there are underworld figures who do illegal business. Xue Bodhi and the second king of Yanzhou are among the best.

Fan Baye is not a killer, he is considered a "water tyrant" and his main job is to collect tolls on the waterway from Zezhou to Jiangzhou. A well-known scattered person from the rivers and lakes.

Recently, the whole area of ​​Wuzhou was blocked, and only allowed to enter but not to exit. In order to avoid disaster, many wealthy gentry wanted to run out. Seeing that it was profitable, Fan Baye started a smuggling business along the Wujiang River. Xuanyuan Hongzhi sent an urgent letter , and rushed over quickly.

And behind Fan Baye is Han Shaoping, a ranger from Zezhou, who usually makes a living helping people seek revenge and collect debts. His martial arts skills are not outstanding, but his ambush and assassination skills are not bad.

Two rivers and lakes came to the outside of Wanshui Town on flying horses. When they saw Xuanyuan Hongzhi standing by the river, they got off their horses and landed in front of them.

"Baye, Brother Han."

"Master Xuanyuan is being polite."

Although Fan Baye has gray hair, but he is tall and has a gangster look, he doesn't look old-fashioned, so when he walked up to the front and back, he did a quack ceremony:
"Junshantai's masters are like clouds, and Xuanyuan's master is even more famous in the world. It's really strange that I, Fan Laoba, is so urgent to call me over to help with the peace..."

Xuanyuan Hongzhi explained: "The people we deal with are special, and the matter is urgent. It is inconvenient to go back and recruit people, so I trouble the two of you."

Han Shaoping took off the weapon from the side of the horse, and glanced at the town in the distance:
"Master Xuanyuan, let's be honest, who did you kill? Finish work early, and I happened to go back to Junshan Terrace with Master Xuanyuan to watch the excitement. I heard that Qiu Tianhe has arrived at Yunmengze. I guess he will have to go to the Marquis of the Gods to call for battle in the next few days. Those who came to join us will not few."

Xuanyuan Hongzhi knew that Qiu Tianhe would come to Junshantai to make trouble, but he didn't have the heart to deal with it now, so he cut to the chase:

"Kill one of the chief officials of the Hei Ya, a celebrity around King Jing. Yao Wenzhong and I will fight together, and the two of you can cooperate. However, the responsibility for the crime after the event has to be carried by the two; the reward is [-] taels per person, and I will do it afterwards." Arrange ways to send the two of you to Tiannan to avoid the limelight."

"..."

When Fan Baye and Han Shaoping heard this, their eyes changed a bit.

What the two of them were doing was a blood-licking business. If they were caught by the court, they would lose their heads. They didn't care about the identity of the target. With 1 taels of silver as a bargaining chip, they dared to try to kill the prefect of Zezhou. Try it, and it is only natural to bear the guilt afterwards.

But money is something that is really in your pocket if you earn enough to spend your life.

When the two heard that Xuanyuan Hongzhi and Yao Wenzhong joined forces and needed their help, they knew that the person they killed was not as simple as being special.

Fan Baye thought for a while and asked:
"Master Xuanyuan, you teamed up with Yao Daxia, the people under the eight chiefs should be killed casually, and we need to cooperate? The person who is going to be killed is the real Xuanji?"

Xuanyuan Hongzhi shook his head and said: "If Xuanji is the real person, even if my father comes, we can't settle it. We join forces to bring shame on ourselves. The person who wants to kill is called Ye Jingtang. I fought against him yesterday, and it was better than eight-armed Jizo. A little weak, but what he has learned is too complicated, and he can do everything.

"I teamed up with Yao Wenzhong. It would be easy to kill this person, but if he wants to run, he may not be able to stop him. Many people must work together to block the escape route. I have contacted five people, and three more are on the way. I think I can come over again today." One……"

Fan Baye knew that Junshantai's frontal combat power was unparalleled in the world, but it was difficult to move quickly if the sword was too heavy.

Seeing what Xuanyuan Hongzhi said, Fan Baye raised his gun and said:

"As long as you don't deal with Wu Kui, it's fine. Even if you want to kill Baarm Jizo, it's enough for me to block the retreat and find a mobile phone for the two masters. Where is he?"

"It's possible to come to Wanshui Town today and tomorrow. It's not sure whether I will come and whether I will bring the black entourage. It's best if I can wait for everyone to come. Come early, and wait for the opportunity..."

……
-
On the other side, beyond the mountains.

A team of nearly 2000 people escorted King Wu and the captives out of the mountains.

At the front of the team, in order to show the demeanor of the ancestor of the "leader", Dongfang Liren led the soldiers and horses on foot across the mountains and back to the small town along the river without being carried.

Zezhou soldiers and horses have been busy in the deep mountains and old forests for nearly two days. Many soldiers were exhausted and paralyzed.

Because of his great service, Dongfang Liren specially sent the forbidden army to collect good wine and meat in the town as a reward. After finishing the order, he returned to the inn in the center and looked at the gradually darkening sky:

"It's only a hundred miles to go to Wanshui Town to take the official road. Yejingtang set off at noon, and should be back by now... Isn't Yejingtang in town?"

The commander of the forbidden army behind responded:
"Master Ye took the two of them to drive away about an hour ago. It should be because the sun was too strong at noon, and he rested in the town for an hour. According to the time calculation, he should have just arrived in Wanshui Town."

"Oh……"

Dongfang Liren blinked his eyes. Originally, he thought it would be okay for Ye Jingtang to take a break at noon, but thinking that Miss Ning'er was also there...

This pervert, the king was basking in the sun in the mountains, and he actually sneaked back halfway to bully the girl...

You want to rest, can't you rest with me at noon?

Dongfang Liren was a little dissatisfied, and wanted to ignore Ye Jingtang, but Wuzhou is now in chaos, so he was a little worried after all, so he thought about it and said:

"Master, take me to Wanshui Town to have a look. Wu Wang has been caught, so don't make mistakes at the last moment when you return to Beijing."

Among the court officers and soldiers, Master Xuanji had to maintain a not-so-obsessive attitude of a master. He had been holding back for a whole day, and when he saw that Liren wanted to go out for a walk, he didn't say much, and put his arms around Dongfang Liren's waist , leaped onto the house in a blink of an eye, and galloped in the direction of Wu Jiang...
-
"drive--"

Hoof, hoof--

Horseshoes were flying on the loess road, and three figures flew across the official road around the mountain under the setting sun, and gradually arrived at Wanshui Town along the Wujiang River.

Ye Jingtang was wearing the official robe of the commander of the black government, and Pegasus was at the forefront, observing the road conditions along the way.

Niao Niao stood on his shoulders, facing the wind and looking at the glow of the sky, "cuckoo chirp chirp" in his mouth, probably muttering: one bird has fought for three thousand miles, and one bird has been a millionaire...

Luo Ning was still brooding over the matter of stacking two steamed buns at noon, and followed behind without speaking, just looking at the mountain scenery that was about to enter autumn.

Pei Xiangjun came out and ran for a while, and his thoughts, which were immersed in the gentle village, gradually calmed down, and he walked in front of Yejingtang, teasing the self-excited birds.

When the sun completely sank into the mountains, three big horses came at the entrance of the town.

The sky was getting dark, the medicine farmers in Wanshui Town had already left, and the town gradually became quiet. There were dots of lights along the street, and there were not many pedestrians on the old street.

Ye Jingtang slowed down his horse, stepped onto the bluestone-paved street, looked around the street, and was still looking for the trace of Zhang Wenyuan's son.

But when there was still some distance from the gambling alley where they met last time, Ye Jingtang's ears twitched, and suddenly from the depths of the quiet old street, he heard a conversation:

"It's this person? Three people, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with..."

"The latter two are just followers, and their combat power is mediocre..."

……

The sound was located behind the window on the second floor of a restaurant a hundred meters away. It was so subtle that other people would never hear it. Sanniang and Ning'er, who were close at hand, didn't respond, and even the birds didn't notice it.

But since Ye Jingtang opened up the energy channels of his whole body, his six senses perception has directly improved. It can be said that he can see all the troubles in half of the town. He noticed something strange, and he paid attention to it, so he could hear this conversation clearly, and he could even hear it clearly. A voice was distinguished, which seemed to come from Xuanyuan Hongzhi...

"...?"

Ye Jingtang blinked his eyes, his heart was a little strange, in order to prevent Xuanyuan Hongzhi who came to the door for nothing to scare away, he continued to walk calmly, gently raised his hand on the way:

"You wait on the side of the street, I'll go and pick him up."

Luo Ning and Pei Xiangjun didn't realize that there was a person hiding in the distance, and they didn't say much when they saw this. They stopped on the side of the street and waited for Ye Jingtang to deal with business; Niao Niao soared into the sky and began to investigate from a high altitude.

hooves, hoofs...

Ye Jingtang rode a big black horse and walked through the old street alone. Through subtle movements, he could distinguish the situation between the houses on both sides of the street:
There were two people on the second floor of the restaurant. When he approached, they held their breath and couldn't feel it anymore, but they could hear the movement of a weapon being raised quietly.

There seems to be a person in the alleyway of the gambling house, whose breath is almost imperceptible, it should be Yao Wenzhong.

After passing by a tea shop, the two quacks who were drinking tea at the window of the tea shop put down their teacups and reached for something from the corner of the wall or under the table. Unsurprisingly, it was a weapon...

The trend of three bread sandwiches...

Ye Jingtang walked into the encirclement at a leisurely pace, hiding all the subtle behaviors of the opponent's eyes, and even guessed the scene where Yao Wenzhong and the old gunman came out one after the other, which felt a bit special. It's almost the same as the provocative Ning'er who knew everything well when she first learned to listen to the wind palm...

Seeing that the other party didn't make a move, Ye Jingtang didn't speak first to alert the other party, and only got off his horse after walking near the alleyway of the gambling house.

Under the eaves outside the inn gate, a young man in yellow was still sitting on the steps waiting. When he saw Ye Jingtang approaching, his face was filled with joy, and he got up quickly:
"My lord, do you have any news from my father?"

"Your father is fine. You go in first, and I will deal with some private matters."

Ye Jingtang came to the outside of the inn, slightly raised his hand to let the young man into the room, then raised his eyes to the entrance of the alley not far away:
"There are lights in the alley, and the shadow of the eaves of your bamboo hat is exposed."

After saying this, the old street suddenly became a little quieter.

tread, tread...

Dull footsteps sounded from the alley.

Then Yao Wenzhong, who was in a strong figure, walked out of the alley in a black cloak, with a thick back broadsword on his back, and only his chin was visible under the bamboo hat, and walked slowly to the middle of the old street.

Ten zhang away from the rear, Fan Baye held a spear, slowly rolled up his sleeves, and laid it across the retreat.

Han Shaoping walked behind with two swords upside down, blocking Pei Xiangjun and Luo Ning's way to help.

Xuanyuan Hongzhi and a black-clothed swordsman appeared at the window, masked by a black scarf, only showing a pair of cold eyes, and said coldly:

"Yejingtang, I want to see today, where else can you escape!"

I can't stand it anymore, let's write here first or2,
