Chapter 13 Jiang Feng Fishing Fire
On the official road north of the imperial capital, a woman in ramie clothes galloped past on horseback, raising billows of smoke and dust.

The rain was about to come, the sky was gloomy, and the hazy mountains turned light gray.In the early autumn, the grass and trees in the mountains and fields were as lush as before, and suddenly a few cold arrows flew out of the bushes beside the official road without a sound.The horse neighed in shock, and the lady in the ramie shirt waved all the arrows with a wave of her sleeve.

She reined in her horse and said proudly: "The imperial capital is ahead, if you don't give it a go, you will have no chance."

As soon as the words fell, more than ten people came out from the bushes and besieged the girl in Zhushan from all sides.These dozen or so people's moves were extremely fierce, and they cooperated tacitly. The woman in the ramie shirt couldn't break through with her sword, and was surrounded in the center.The woman in the ramie shirt watched intently for a moment, then stabilized her footing, and chose a weaker opponent to attack suddenly, intending to disrupt the opponent's position.The edge of the sword in her hand formed an arc, the tip of the sword took the opponent on the left, the belly of the sword slashed towards the neck of the weaker man, and kicked the opponent on the right with a flying kick.The girl in ramie slashed her left hand to the back, swiping away the attacker behind her with a palm, but the sword move with her right hand showed flaws, the tip of the sword was blocked, the door on her chest was wide open, and she couldn't dodge it in time.

At a critical moment, the girl in ramie shirt made a move of "sword walks around the dragon", and with the sword flower in her arms, she could swing the assassin's long sword, but a long cut was cut on the back of her hand, and blood flowed out.At this time, five or six men in short brown clothes suddenly jumped out of the surrounding area and besieged the assassin.The assassin obviously didn't expect that Zhu Shannv could stay calm and avoid the ultimate move, let alone that she had a helper, so he couldn't help being startled.Taking advantage of the distraction of the assassin, the girl in ramie jumped up, and swung her sword from top to bottom, causing blood to splatter, and the assassins fell to the ground one after another.

After confirming that the assassins were all dead, the girl in ramie shirt sheathed her sword, took out a silk handkerchief to bandage the wound on the back of her hand, and said, "We will be entering the capital ahead, thank you brothers for your help all the way."

Several people in short brown clothes said: "You are welcome." Turning the horse's head, it disappeared into the dust in an instant.

Half an hour later, the downpour washed away the gloom that had been in Gyeonggi since the beginning of autumn.The girl in ramie shirt took off her veil and sat in a tea pavilion outside the imperial capital drinking tea to avoid the rain.Suddenly a man in a green robe stepped into the tea pavilion, looking for something.The girl in ramie shirt lowered her head, but the man strode up to her side and bowed, said "Excuse me", and asked, "May I ask what your name is?"

The woman in ramie shirt hurriedly stood up and replied, "Mian, your surname is Jiang. May I ask who are you? What's the matter?"

The man in the green robe whispered something.

The girl in ramie was taken aback, and immediately exchanged cuts with the green-robed man. After matching the cards, she took out something wrapped in an oilcloth from her bosom and handed it over: "Here is the thing. Please tell Da Si Kou that I am no longer an official. From now on From now on, I have nothing to do with the matter of Fuzhou."

This Qingpao guest turned out to be from the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The green-robed man cupped his hands and said: "The Great Si Kou asks you to send my greetings to you. On the day you and Jia Guogong get married, the Big Si Kou will go to pay your respects."

It turns out that the girl in ramie is Shen Jiangdong's unmarried wife, Jiang's family. Because she was born in autumn, she was given a single name of "Feng" and "Xuan Bin" in small characters.Because Jiang Feng was ordered to investigate the matter of Fuzhou, he was afraid that the Duke of Jia's mansion would be involved, so he avoided the person sent by the mansion to pick her up along the way.The several times she was in danger, it was her father's old friend Wu Zhenying's people who helped her escape.

Now that the errands were handed over, Jiang Feng went to the Wuzhai in the south of the city to meet the uncle who hadn't seen him for a long time. Unexpectedly, the old servant Lu Shu who stayed behind at the Wuzhai told her that Wu Zhenying had to leave the capital to find the Cao Gang in an emergency. here.

Jiang Feng heard this and said, "Uncle Lu, I really should thank you for this journey. You are busy with your work, and I have the key to this house. If there is anything, I will come to you again."

It is quite troublesome to come to Wu Zhenying to deal with it. Uncle Lu was eager to leave Beijing to help, so he said: "The girl must be more careful, I will go to our master first. If there is anything, the girl can go to the front shop and tell me, I have to The letter came back to Beijing."

Jiang Feng sent Uncle Lu out, and then returned to Wu Zhai by himself. After thinking about what happened along the way, he packed up his belongings and went out to buy some food.As soon as he left Shuangxing Hutong where Wu Zhai was located, Jiang Feng felt that someone was following him again.At this moment, she suddenly heard someone sobbing, and looked down, and saw a little girl curled up against the wall and crying.

"Little sister, what's the matter?" Jiang Feng knelt down and asked softly.

"Dog, big dog, bite me..." The little girl stretched out her hand while crying, and a large piece of flesh was bitten off the back of her hand, dripping with blood.

"Where is the dog?" Jiang Feng quickly took out a handkerchief to hold her wound, "Is the dog a mad dog?"

"In Wufulou, I went to pay the shopkeeper the bill, and the dog bit me..." After speaking, he burst into tears.

"Who!" Jiang Feng felt that the person following him had approached, and looked around quickly, but there was no one.Jiang Feng took out a few pennies, "Little sister, take the money, go to the pastry shop in front to buy some cakes, and wait for me at the door of the shop. I'll get something and put it on for you, so you don't get hydrophobia." After Jiang Feng finished speaking He stood up and tentatively chased in one direction.After entering a dead end, Jiang Feng saw a figure.The other party's movement was very light. Seeing Jiang Feng chasing him and drawing out his short sword, he suddenly raised his sword and killed himself.

Jiang Feng turned pale with fright, and hurried to stop him, but the opponent turned the tip of his sword outwards, and Jiang Feng was almost cut open.As soon as she backed up and dodged, the other party had already taken the opportunity to escape from the roof.

Jiang Feng also jumped onto the roof and turned over, only to hear someone shout: "Who is it?"

When Jiang Feng raised his head, he saw that the person who came was the uniform of the imperial guards. His face was rugged, as if he had been burned by a fire. He couldn't see the original facial features at all. It was very scary when viewed up close.

Jiang Feng couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and the little girl just rushed over suddenly: "Sister! Sister! This is the dog!"

When Jiang Feng raised his head, he found that Wufu Building was close in front of him. There was a vicious dog tied to the door of the building.Jiang Feng quickly put his arms around her and replied, "Little sister was bitten by a mad dog. I'm here to find the dog." After speaking, he stabbed to death the dog the little girl was pointing at, took out the dog's brain and put it on the back of the little girl's hand, and said softly : "Little sister, go home quickly, it's okay."

If you are injured by a mad dog, there are folk remedies to use dog brains to prevent hydrophobia.

"Which bastard killed Grandpa's dog?!" A young man in brocade clothes upstairs suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly.

At this time, the boss ran out as if fleeing, and kowtowed to the generals of Jingwei like garlic: "Master, help, someone smashed the store!"

The general of the Jingwei was already in a daze, Jiang Feng sneered: "The Imperial Army has taken over the task of patrolling the city censor." After speaking, he went upstairs and said, "Your mad dog hurt people, I use the dog's brain to prevent terror Hydra, what's the problem?" After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Who dares to say that Grandpa's dog is a mad dog?! Afraid of hydrophobia, the red-hot iron scalds the wound..."

Jiang Feng sneered and said, "With a master like you who doesn't know what's good or bad, the dog doesn't even know it's sick."

The young man in brocade clothes upstairs was furious: "Chen Nanfei, I caught this bastard!"

When Jiang Feng heard the word "Chen Nanfei", he blurted out, "Master Chen, the guard of the army?"

At this time, Chen Nanfei was also puzzled, "How do you know who I am?"

"Chen Nanfei, you're an asshole too. You were asked to arrest someone, why are you in a daze!" There was another roar from upstairs, but the young man in brocade clothes still didn't dare to go downstairs.

The boss kowtowed again: "My lord! My lord! The one upstairs is a villain, he robbed the shop! My lord, help me!"

The young man in brocade clothes was furious: "I've given you enough money, and this old dog is nothing, Chen Nanfei, let me catch you together!"

Chen Nanfei hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand first, and the guards behind him surrounded him.When Jiang Feng saw that he was about to leap upstairs to hold the young man in brocade clothes hostage, Chen Nanfei suddenly drew his sword and chased him.Jiang Feng was defeated, so he took several steps back. When he turned his head and saw a man in Taoist robe approaching, the imperial guards saluted him one after another.Jiang Feng hijacked him without thinking, and shouted: "Listen to me first, don't move!"

Chen Nanfei turned pale with shock: "Grandpa!"

Jiang Feng was taken aback, and the young man in brocade clothes also ran downstairs, followed by a group of beauties.

"Brother Shen!" The young man in brocade clothes exclaimed, "Quick! Let go of Brother Shen!"

Shen Jiangdong was still calm, frowned and said: "Why are the Nine Kings messing around again!"

Xiaojing Wang Xiaoyu said: "She killed my dog, and even held you hostage..."

"Why did I hold him hostage?" Jiang Feng suddenly withdrew his sword.

Chen Nanfei made a decisive decision: "Take it!"

"Wait a minute!" Shen Jiangdong said quickly, "I'm afraid there may be a misunderstanding! Isn't it?"

Seeing Jiang Feng return the sword into the sheath, King Xiao Jing was stunned, "Who is she?"

Shen Jiangdong smiled slightly, "My wife."

The air froze for a moment, and King Xiao Jing suddenly laughed a few times, "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I don't know it's Shen's sister-in-law! It's really a misunderstanding!" After speaking, he reprimanded Chen Nanfei, "Why are you arresting people indiscriminately?"

Chen Nanfei hadn't slowed down yet, and he didn't dare to ask if you asked me to arrest him. He just said: "The people in Luyu Wangye's mansion reported that you were detained in this shop, so I will..."

"It's nothing! I want to rent a shop, but the boss disagrees, so I let the servants bombard him, and it's just a little conflict. Misunderstanding!" King Xiao Jing spoke very casually.

The boss didn't come up in one breath, and was so frightened that he lost his breath and was dragged away by the imperial army.Jiang Feng stepped forward and said, "I saw a little sister was bitten by a mad dog at the door, so I came to get the dog's brain. I hurt Jiu Wang's pet dog, please forgive me."

"Yes, I was messing around! Well, that brother Shen, you must not disturb the third brother," he said to Jiang Feng, "Well... congratulate the two of you first, and the third brother said that he is going to eat your wedding wine. After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Nanfei, "Old Chen, do you have any insight, let's go." He fled like a gust of wind with a group of beauties.

Chen Nanfei was quite embarrassed, Shen Jiangdong said helplessly: "Go first."

"Then if His Majesty asks..."

Shen Jiangdong looked around: "There are so many people watching the excitement, I can't hide it."

Chen Nanfei saluted Shen Jiangdong, and led the imperial army back.Shen Jiangdong said to Jiang Feng, "Good skill."

"Don't dare," Jiang Feng straightened his clothes, "If you don't come, I may have been killed by Commander Chen." After speaking, he approached Shen Jiangdong, "Someone is following me."

Shen Jiangdong frowned: "Go home with me first."

Jiang Feng smiled slightly and said, "I'm here to retire."

Shen Jiangdong frowned, pretending he didn't hear and continued, "I'm counting the days, it's time for you to go to Beijing."

Jiang Feng was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "I encountered a little trouble on the road, and it was delayed for a few days."

"I know you have encountered some things, and it's inconvenient to talk here, so come talk to me, okay?" Shen Jiangdong said earnestly.

Jiang Feng hesitated, but finally nodded.

Jiang Feng followed Shen Jiangdong to Duke Jia's mansion, and Shen Huanhua and the third wife went back to Ye's house on business.Shen Jiangdong was considerate and asked her to live in a house separated from the palace by a wall, and assigned a maid named Huaying to serve her.Seeing that Jiang Feng had settled down, Shen Jiangdong was about to stand up and leave when an internal guard officer hurried in to report: "My lord! Commander Chen is missing!"

Shen Jiangdong was shocked: "How is it possible? He was still in Wufulou at noon!"

"Commander Chen was off duty in the afternoon, but he never came home. His family went to the Yamen to look for him, but Commander Chen didn't return to the Yamen. More importantly, someone picked up his sword by the side of Guangji Canal," said the official. .

Jiang Feng came out and said, "It's only been less than half a day, maybe he went swimming in Guangji Canal?"

Shen Jiangdong froze for a moment, "He doesn't know water."

At this time, Lao Xia, the old housekeeper of Duke Jia's mansion, came in out of breath: "My lord, the palace has delivered an edict."

On this day, Siqing went to Nannei Qingxi Garden from the forbidden center, intending to visit the noble concubine Ding'an who was recuperating here.Without using the guard of honor, she got out of the forbidden carriage and walked for a while, when Si Qing suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Based on her past experience, she could feel the vague hostility around her.Siqing lifted a curtain slightly, only to see that the whole team was about to leave the city.When Siqing looked up and saw Chen Nanfei, she wondered, "General Chen? Aren't you out of duty today? Why did you leave the city? Didn't you go to Nannei?"

Although Chen Nanfei has a handicap, but his inner strength is superb, he is one of the best masters in the Jingwei, and he speaks with a lot of air: "If you go back to your mother, I will come to replace you. Nannei? Didn't your mother just say to go to the Nanshan Villa?"

There is a small mountain a few miles southwest of the imperial capital, which has no name, and is often called Nanshan.Although Nanshan is not high, the mountain is gentle. There is a royal residence on the mountain. It was originally built by Emperor Taizong Jingfei. .

The Empress Dowager often meets with people whom the Empress Dowager does not want him to meet in Zhiyuan today, and secretly establishes a Jingwei contact point here.Later, the Empress Dowager passed away, and the Jingwei withdrew from Zhiyuan. Siqing didn't like living in confinement, so she often went to Zhiyuan to live in idyllic clothes.

Siqing raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Oh, I just made a slip of the tongue. Since we are here, let's go to Zhiyuan today."

Chen Nanfei answered "yes" and turned his head quickly, as if he was relieved.Lingzhen in the car wanted to ask a question, but was held down by Siqing.Siqing shook her head to Lingzhen, the carriage continued to move forward, and then Siqing whispered in Lingzhen's ear: "Don't get angry, take a look first, it won't end if you yell here."

Ling Zhen said urgently: "Your Majesty has sent people to protect along the line between Nannei and Jinzhong, in case we can't contact you if we leave the city!"

Siqing waved her hand and said, "Shut up! Don't say too much." She looked out of the car from the small window, and saw that she had left the city and arrived at a fork in the road outside the city.The carriage turned a corner, so Ling Zhen took off the veil from her head, picked it up with a handkerchief and threw it outside the car as a guide on the road.After walking for a while, Siqing shouted: "Stop!" Then she tore off the curtain of the carriage, and asked Chen Nanfei, "This is not the way to Zhiyuan! What do you want to do?" Accompanied by the words, two hairpins shot straight at Chen Nanfei's eyes.

Unexpectedly, Chen Nanfei drew his sword to block and dodge it. He raised the knife and dropped it, killing all the accompanying guards.Blood splashed, Lingzhen was held down by Siqing in the carriage, and Siqing jumped out of the carriage by herself.

Ling Zhen immediately stretched out half of her body: "Girl!"

"Don't come out!"

Chen Nanfei's sword quickly pointed at Ling Zhen, at the same time, Ling Zhen released a warning signal towards the sky.

Siqing shouted: "She doesn't know how to fight, so let her go."

Chen Nanfei sneered: "You saw through it."

Siqing raised her sleeves, and sheathed the dagger that had been hidden in her sleeves, pointing directly at Chen Nanfei: "It's just a maid, you can kill it. General Chen doesn't hide enough, but I don't know who is your superior?"

Chen Nanfei raised his sword and was about to pierce Ling Zhen, intending to stab Siqing later, but when he saw the dagger in Siqing's hand, his expression was a little dazed.At this moment, a puff of smoke flew towards Chen Nanfei's eyes, Chen Nanfei was afraid of being poisoned, so he let go of his hand, Lingzhen had already been pushed elsewhere by Siqing.

The sound of horseshoes is getting closer and closer. I don't know if the Forbidden Army in the city found something unusual and came here.Chen Nanfei ignored Ling Zhen, stabbed at Si Qing and said, "Today I will avenge my benefactor."
