Fu Shifeng

Chapter 78 Chapter 78
At dusk, a big bay red horse galloped towards the gate of Linlang Garden with its four hooves criss-crossing, kicking up thin snow and dust.

Before the horses stopped, Cheng Sanwu turned over and fell down. Su Wangting, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed to meet him, asked his servants to lead the horses away, and even took time to order them to be fed.

"How's the situation?" Seeing that Cheng Sanwu didn't bring Gui girl back, Su Wangting asked eagerly.

"There are a lot of people on the opposite side, so I didn't dare to take the risk." Cheng Sanwu wiped off the oil and sweat on his face, and the two hurried back to the side hall.

Su Wangting was familiar with Cheng Sanwu's habits, and ordered people to prepare food in advance.Cheng Sanwu picked up the soup that was still warm, raised his head and drank a few mouthfuls, before the Su family father and son could ask, he pointed to Changqing who was writing a letter beside his desk: "Give me the pen and paper."

Su Wangting immediately fetched a pen and paper, spread it out on the table, and Cheng Sanwu wrote and drew, and in a short while he finished the general layout of Jinguang Temple.

At this time Changqing also came to watch, Cheng Sanwu was about to speak, as if he had noticed something, he suddenly turned his head and looked outside the door, and saw Afu coming at some time, she was standing against the door, with her arms crossed, her expression He looked at the few people in the room calmly.

"Miss Afu, this..." Seeing this, Su Wangting forcibly pretended nothing happened: "I don't know what's important?"

"Although it's not my responsibility, I still want to ask." Afu stared at Su Wangting: "You quietly loaded a pile of treasures in the warehouse into the carriage, could it be that you want to guard yourself? I didn't realize that you are such a person. "

Su Wangting's face turned pale and his eyes dodged. Only then did he realize that his every move was under the surveillance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there was no way to hide it.

"Girl Gui was taken away by thieves." Cheng Sanwu directly pointed it out.

"Thief?" Afu thought in a flash: "They are threatening Miss Gui's life to extort treasure?"

Su Wangting hurriedly handed the letter to Afu, bowed his head and cupped his hands, and said earnestly, "The thief forbids me to report to the official, so I kept it secret. Please forgive me."

Afu didn't pay attention to Linlangyuan's situation recently, but when she heard the news of Cheng Sanwu's fast horse leaving and Su Wangting's secret transfer of belongings, she had already anticipated unexpected changes in her heart.

Originally, Qin Wangshu wanted to send someone to track down Cheng Sanwu, but Cheng Sanwu's big bay red horse was so fast that the hanging eaves couldn't catch up.Afu was much more calm, and she didn't take the initiative to ask Su Wangting for a question, she just waited for Cheng Sanwu to come back before showing up.

Afu was not surprised that Gui girl was robbed by thieves.A large number of treasures have been transported from all over the Kanto region and gathered in Linlang Garden. There will definitely be news leaked along the way. Many heroes of the rivers and lakes and tycoons of the green forest, like wolves smelling blood, gathered in the Weinan area, planning what to do.

It's just that Linlangyuan's defense is comparable to that of a military camp, and breaking into it is tantamount to seeking death.In addition, the treasury where the treasure is stored is protected by an enchantment, no matter how high the martial arts of those thieves are, they still cannot cross this natural moat.

Since robbing and stealing can't be done, hijacking Su Wangting's family and forcing him to exchange Linlangyuan's treasures is almost the only way.

"Did you mention it to outsiders when you went back to your hometown in Huazhou to visit relatives?" Afu asked.

Su Wangting clenched his fists tightly, hating his own negligence: "That's right... I thought it wasn't an important matter, and I occasionally talked about it with the staff sent by Wang Yuanbao."

"Is there someone in Linlang Garden colluding with bandits?" Cheng Sanwu asked with a frown.

"This is not collusion." Afu entered the room and sat down: "It will take some time to find out. After all, he is a new celebrity under the family of Shancai layman, and he is also responsible for organizing such rich and prestigious events as the Doubaohui. There are quite a few people who inquire about Ni Su Wangting's origins nowadays, and it's not just the green forest thieves."

Su Wangting's heart is in a mess at the moment, and he really has no time to talk quickly.

"This group of thieves are rampant and quick-witted. They acted like this in the Gyeonggi area, completely ignoring the court's laws. But they did not forget to make arrangements. It is estimated that before they robbed Girl Gui, the Jinguang Temple was occupied by them as a lair." Afu looked at Cheng Sanwu: "How? You come and go, but the detective understands?"

"I have found out the general layout of Jinguang Temple. Now that the gate of the temple is closed, I asked the nearby villagers, and they said that there are businessmen staying here, and they have to do rituals for several days, and no other pilgrims are accepted." Cheng Sanwu tapped on the table with his fingers, gritted his teeth Said: "I vaguely felt that there were powerful figures in the temple, and I was afraid that Girl Gui would be injured, so I didn't dare to take the risk of sneaking in."

"A powerful person?" Changqing was puzzled: "The bandits in the green forest, they can't be stronger than Ankuti, right?"

"It's not that powerful, but... vicious!" Cheng Sanwu frowned, "And now the priority is to rescue Miss Gui. Even if I'm not afraid of fighting with these gangsters, what if they attack Girl Gui directly?"

Changqing was silent when he heard the words, and Cheng Sanwu repeatedly tapped on the table with his fingers, restless: "Saving people is not as good as killing people. If these gangsters didn't use Miss Gui as a threat, I could kill them all by myself!"

Everyone in the room understood the reason why the mouse should not throw a mouse. The father and son of the Su family looked sad, and only the sound of Cheng Sanwu knocking on the table was left in the room. Everyone was almost suffocated.

As soon as the knocking sound stopped, Changqing was the first to react. He found that the irritability on Cheng Sanwu's face had disappeared, replaced by detached calmness, like a general leading an army into battle.

Cheng Sanwu's eyes shifted, looking at Afu who was sitting with her palms on her back and her legs crossed, and said, "You can walk through the fog, and you can sneak into Jinguang Temple to rescue Gui girl."

The faces of the rest of the people changed slightly, Afu showed a smile, and asked, "Why should I help?"

"Just treat it as me begging you!" Cheng Sanwu became excited and yelled out on the spot, shaking the whole side hall.But he immediately realized that he had lost his composure, lowered his head, and repeated in a low voice in an almost humble tone: "...just treat it as me begging you."

Afu narrowed her eyes, she was very curious about Cheng Sanwu's unreasonable remorse—what did you see through Girl Gui?
When Su Wangting heard the words, he immediately figured out that the life and death of his granddaughter depended on whether Afu was willing to act. He immediately pulled his son to the ground and kowtowed directly to Afu: "I beg the envoy Fu to save Miss Gui! With all my wealth, I only ask Fu Shang to rescue me!"

Afu was still sitting on the chair, not intending to help the Su family father and son, her tone was flat, without a smile: "I don't need all your wealth, you know what I want."

Su Wangting knelt down on the ground, trembled slightly, touched his forehead to the ground, and only said: "Yes."

Afu smiled again, and looked at Cheng Sanwu: "It seems that you have a plan, what are you going to do?"

"This gang of thieves only allowed Lao Su to go alone, so it must be obvious that Lao Su can only drive to Jinguang Temple alone." Cheng Sanwu said: "Before they see the treasure, they should still save the life of Miss Gui. Get out of the body, and even continue to use Gui girl as a threat, and it will take a while."

Everyone nodded when they heard the words, Weinan belongs to Gyeonggi, and many imperial soldiers and horses are stationed here.Even if the gang of thieves successfully obtained the treasure, they still have to consider how to escape safely. They certainly don't want to easily make the situation worse.

"Since the thieves chose to hide in the Golden Light Temple to avoid people's eyes and ears, then we will settle this matter in the Golden Light Temple." Cheng Sanwu looked at Afu: "You can walk through the fog, and it's up to you to go in and rescue Girl Gui."

Afu said: "You seem to think that I am omnipotent. I can't take away the living by turning into a mist. I have to show up to save Gui girl. No matter how stupid the bandits are, they will definitely send someone to guard them."

"Girl Gui is just a girl, thieves will not send many people to guard, they must be on guard against people like me." Cheng Sanwu said: "The gang of thieves must know the existence of me and Changqing if they can find out about Lao Su's hometown. Even so, the fact that they dare to do it shows that there are quite a few of them, and there are a few masters among them."

Changqing held a few talismans in his hands: "Now there is no enchantment to suppress, I can cast spells with all my strength, and there are many bandits and bandits may not necessarily have the upper hand."

"The premise is to rescue Miss Gui first." Cheng Sanwu pointed to the layout map of Jinguang Temple on the table: "I remember you said that you can sense someone's specific location. Do you have a way to determine which house Miss Gui is locked up in?" ?”

Chang Qing was slightly surprised, when he and Lu Yingxuan talked about "Sending Generals from Wind Post" and occasionally mentioned the matter of sensing the direction, he did not expect that Cheng Sanwu, who was only caring about eating and drinking at that time, would have paid attention to it and brought it up at this time.

"I'm not familiar with Girl Gui, so it's hard to do it." Changqing shook his head.

Cheng Sanwu glanced left and right, then rushed to Dalang of the Su family, grabbed the tiger-toed shoes from his hand, and asked, "With this thing, can it be done?"

Changqing frowned, and was immediately inspired, thinking and said: "Using the close-fitting objects as a guide, you can indeed sense the location of Gui Yatou. If it is near Jinguang Temple, you should be able to determine the exact location."

"Hold it, Gui girl's life, you have to help take it." Cheng Sanwu directly stuffed the tiger-toed shoes into Changqing's hand.The object that was originally light and floating made Changqing feel quite heavy at this moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Lao Su drove alone, and took the treasure to Jinguang Temple." Cheng Sanwu said with a bowed head, "The thieves are on guard against the officers and soldiers, and specially sent people to patrol the vicinity to keep an eye on them. In order to avoid the thieves, I made a long detour before It's close to Jinguang Temple. So you two can't go with him. Changqing, don't you know how to perform invisibility?"

"This is it." Changqing took out a few charms folded into triangles, obviously preparing before: "Fold it in half again, and you can hide your figure."

"Bring all three of us." Cheng Sanwu motioned to Changqing and Afu, and took one and stuffed it into his arms first: "Old Su walks ahead, you two hide your body and follow nearby. Wait for a long time Qing cast a spell to determine the location of Gui Yatou, and Afu flew directly to save her."

"What about you?" Aff asked.

"Once you show up and rescue Miss Gui, you will probably attract the attention of the thieves." Cheng Sanwu said, "It's not that I don't believe in your skills, but right now the priority is to ensure the safety of Girl Gui, so you go straight away and I'll cover the back .”

"Yes." Afu agreed very simply.

Cheng Sanwu then said to Su Wangting: "Old Su, you have to buy time for the two of them. When you see the thieves, whether you are persuading or begging for mercy, or asking them to count the treasure, the longer the delay, the better."

Among the four, Su Wangting was undoubtedly the one with the best eloquence. He gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously, as if he wanted to suppress the fear and anxiety in his heart, and spare his mind to deal with the bandits.

"When there is a fight in Jinguang Temple, Afu should have rescued Gui girl." Cheng Sanwu raised his hand and pressed Su Wangting's shoulder, and said with concern: "At that time, you will bear the brunt of the thieves' siege. You...you must be careful."

Su Wangting also patted Cheng Sanwu's shoulder, and forced a smile: "Don't worry, I can kill a camel with one palm, so what are mere thieves?"

Changqing said: "Well, before we set off, I will bless Brother Fu with a body protection spell, so that he will not lose in the face of thieves' siege. And I am nearby, so I can immediately help out."

Cheng Sanwu nodded and said: "This is the best. After you rescue Girl Gui, you will fight and retreat, and I will deal with the rest of the thieves."

"Let's go now?" Changqing asked.

Cheng Sanwu glanced outside the house: "When it gets darker, do you think there is anything else to prepare?"

"Wait." Afu walked out of the side hall alone, and called out, "Wangshu."

Seeing Qin Wangshu jumping vertically, flipping over the wall lightly and landing silently, she cupped her hands and asked, "What orders does the envoy Fu have?"

"Let the hanging eaves guard the Linlang Garden tonight, and no one is allowed to approach the warehouse." Afu said: "If anyone wants to come to Su Wangting and others, just say that the Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to talk to them, and it is inconvenient to meet guests. Remember Is it gone?"

"Obey!" Qin Wangshu acted swiftly and without procrastination, and left immediately after agreeing.

"Thank you, Envoy Fu." Su Wangting also bowed deeply, which relieved his worries.

In any case, Su Wangting's move was to act with the treasure that Wang Yuanbao was about to donate to King Qi. Once it leaked out, he might face an unmanageable situation.

"Let's go and prepare." Cheng Sanwu did not forget to give Changqing the layout map of Jinguang Temple: "This map may not be all right, I just glanced at it briefly. You should find it accurately when casting the spell, lest Afu Wandering around in the temple. Whether it is walking through fog or invisibility spells, it may not be able to completely escape the induction of masters."

"Understood, I will try my best." Changqing nodded seriously.

After saying this, Cheng Sanwu sat down at the table, grabbed the mustache and stuffed it into his mouth. At this moment, everyone's thoughts were heavy and they had no appetite at all. They also admired him for being able to eat and drink.

Changqing looked around, and Su Wangting comforted his eldest brother a few words, and then hurriedly left the side hall.Afu was playing with the dagger, looking thoughtful.

Sighing silently, Changqing looked at the layout map of Jinguang Temple and Gui Yatou's tiger-toed shoes in his hand, and suddenly realized that Cheng Sanwu, who was stupid, reckless and ignorant in the past, actually planned a complete set of detailed and complete plans to rescue Gui Yatou. strategy.

Changqing followed his master to study the art of war for many years, and soon realized that Cheng Sanwu's various arrangements were definitely not the talents of ordinary martial arts.

In particular, going to Jinguang Temple to scout the enemy's situation first, is exactly like a scout in the army.And he used the existing manpower to make arrangements in a very short period of time. If he hadn't been tempered in the battlefield, he would not have been able to do it easily.

Changqing looked at Cheng Sanwu who was drinking up the soup with his head up, his expression gradually became serious.
