Reborn Wu Dalang

Bianliang is now under continuous drizzle, Wu Dong, Wu Song, Yang Zhi, Wu Yong and others braved the rain and marched forward, and soon came to a small tavern.

There were no other guests in the tavern, the four of them sat down, ordered a jug of wine and a few dishes, and ate slowly.

The sky became more and more gloomy, the rain gradually became heavier, thunder roared, and lightning continued. At this moment, a short and strong man entered the tavern.

The short and stout man sat straight on the table of Wu Dong and the others, and said in a low voice, "Boss, you are finally here."

Wu Dong looked at this man with a smile, and said, "Cao Zheng, the business of your tavern is not very good. We have been here for so long, but we haven't seen any other customers coming."

The stocky man was Lin Chong's apprentice Cao Zheng, who was also Wu Dong's nephew, and was in charge of Liang Shanbo's intelligence work with Zhu Gui.Ever since he learned the news of Li Shishi's disappearance, Wu Dong sent Cao Zheng to Bianliang and asked Cao Zheng to inquire about Li Shishi's whereabouts.

Cao Zheng smiled wryly: "Boss, this is the edge of the city, so naturally there aren't many guests. And it's raining today, so the number of guests is even less."

Cao is opening taverns all over the country, including such roadside taverns as well as some prosperous hotels.However, Bianliang City is different from other places. You can only open some small taverns here. If you want to open a big hotel, you need not only money but also deep social connections in Bianliang City.Cao Zheng's time in Bianliang was too short, and he didn't have the conditions to open a big hotel.

Wu Dong nodded and said, "Cao Zheng, have you found Miss Li's whereabouts?"

Cao Zheng shook his head with guilt on his face and said, "Boss, in the past six months, we have not received any information related to Miss Li. We have visited almost all the big houses in Bianliang City, and we have not seen Miss Li. We have also searched for some hidden places, but there is no Ms. Li either. I am wondering, has Ms. Li left Bianliang City?"

Wu Dong frowned, and said, "Does she have any other relatives in Bianliang City?"

Cao Zhengdao: "This should not be... Ms. Li was originally dependent on her father, but her father passed away early, so she lived on the street, and then entered the Cuifeng Building. If she has other relatives, she should not be allowed to live on the street. We I also asked Li Yun, the boss of Cuifenglou, and he also said that Miss Li has no other relatives."

When Li Shishi lived on the street, he was less than ten years old. He was adopted by this Li Yun, taught Li Shishi piano, chess and painting, and finally became the top card in Cuifenglou, so he should be the most clear about Li Shishi.

Wu Dong took a sip of wine, listened to the wind and rain outside, tried to calm himself down, and carefully analyzed Li Shishi's whereabouts.

Either Li Shishi redeemed himself and left Cuifeng Tower, or someone redeemed him for him, but no matter which way, Li Shishi shouldn't disappear?

She is so famous, so many people know her in Bianliang, and she is very attractive, as long as she appears in front of the crowd, she will naturally be noticed and recognized by others. Is it true that she is not in Bianliang anymore? ?

"Where can I go?" Wu Dong was thinking, and everyone stopped talking.

******

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded in the rain, and a few people were seen running into the tavern with their bodies dripping wet.

These people just came in and immediately shouted: "Hurry up, boss, serve the wine, and cut us five catties of beef! Good wine and good meat!"

Immediately, the waiter served wine and meat to these people, and these people started to eat and drink hungrily.

Wu Dong looked at these people, and saw that these people were wearing very thin clothes. In this early spring weather, and it was raining, they must have been frozen, and they needed wine and meat to warm up.

From the looks of it, these people were also figures from the quagmire, and the leader seemed to be a big man with a beard.

At this moment, the bearded man actually drank a bowl full of wine in one go, and laughed loudly: "Good wine, good wine, it really froze me on the way! It's so refreshing!"

A thin middle-aged man next to him said: "Brother Li, what happened to that nunnery? How did we meet so many officers and soldiers? If we hadn't run fast, we would have fallen into the hands of the officers and soldiers this time. "

The bearded man chewed the beef in big mouthfuls, swallowed a big piece of beef, and then took another big gulp of wine before saying, "I don't know what's going on, when I went to that nunnery last time, there were only a few little nuns, I didn’t see any officers and soldiers at all.”

On the opposite side, a tall and somewhat short boy said: "Brother Li, shall we still go to that nunnery?"

The bearded man said: "Go! Why don't you go? Our gold and silver are all hidden in that nunnery. There are thousands of taels. It's our cottage's food for the next few years. We have to take it!"

This group of people didn't care about Wu Dong and others at all, and they talked about extremely secret things openly.Wu Dong and Wu Song listened quietly.

At this time, the thin middle-aged man asked again: "Brother Li, the rain is so heavy today, it seems that it can't stop for a while, let's find a residence in Bianliang City first, rest for a while and then go to that place." nunnery."

The bearded man shook his head while eating the meat, and said, "No, no, we'll go to the nunnery tonight."

The thin middle-aged man said: "Don't be so anxious?"

The bearded man drank another bowl of wine, patted his stomach contentedly, and said, "What do you know, with the weather like this today, you will definitely not see your fingers at night, just in time to go to the nunnery to take out the batch of gold and silver! Even if there is It is impossible for officers and soldiers to find us."

The thin middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately said: "Wonderful, Brother Li is more thoughtful, we will go there at night."

This group of people ate five catties of beef, but were still not satisfied. They ordered another three catties of mutton, a dozen steamed buns, and ate again.

Wu Song, Yang Zhi, and Wu Yong didn't take these people's words to heart, thinking that some little thief hid the gold and silver in the nunnery, so they went to the nunnery to get it out.

In this day and age, peasant uprisings keep happening one after another, people who occupy mountains and become kings can be found everywhere, and small thieves are everywhere, and it is not uncommon to encounter them by chance.

At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky. Wu Dong looked at the lightning, and suddenly his heart moved. Many famous women in history had hidden in the nunnery. Would Li Shishi also hide in the nunnery?Hearing from these people, there are a large number of officers and soldiers in the nunnery, the situation is very strange, Wu Dong couldn't help but become curious.

"Cao Zheng, send someone to follow them later and see where they go." Wu Dong whispered, Cao Zheng nodded.

Hu Chihai and those people from the rivers and lakes drank a meal, and then stayed in the tavern for a while, and they left the tavern when the rain became lighter. At this time, Cao Zheng had already sent someone to follow them.

******

That night, thunder roared, as if someone was pouring water on the ground, the rain became incomparably huge, and the water on the ground was already half a foot deep.

Outside Bianliang City, the few people from the rivers and lakes that I saw during the day appeared here. These people were soaked and ran towards the distance.

In such weather, there is no need to wear a poncho, because it is the same with or without a poncho, and you will get wet.

Wu Dong, Wu Song, Yang Zhi, and Cao Zheng followed behind this group of people, marching forward in the rain.Their martial arts skills are much higher than those of those Jianghu figures, and they are not afraid of being discovered by them. If they are really discovered, they will be forced to tell the location of the nunnery by force.

After running for a full 30 miles, a plum grove suddenly appeared in front of me. In the plum grove, a temple was looming. This should be the nunnery.

Those people from the rivers and lakes entered the plum grove, and finally came to the rear of the nunnery, where the walls were high, and these people climbed in with ropes.

Wu Dong and others also came here, and saw Wu Dong's body jumping up suddenly, without using a rope, he just climbed over the wall like this. up the wall.

After entering the nunnery, they suddenly saw a light appearing in the distance, coming towards this side, Wu Dong and others hurriedly hid in the flowers.

I saw a soldier passing by holding an umbrella and carrying a lantern, and disappeared after a while.

Wu Dong and others came out from the flowers, Yang Zhi said: "Boss, this is the imperial court's forbidden army, and it is the forbidden army guarding the palace."

Yang Zhinai was born as an officer and soldier of the Song Dynasty, and he knew the military system of the Song Dynasty very well, so he immediately recognized the identity of this soldier.

Wu Dong couldn't help being taken aback, he thought they were ordinary officers and soldiers, but he didn't expect that they were the imperial guards guarding the palace, how could they appear in a nunnery?

For a long time, Wu Dong didn't say a word, Wu Song couldn't help saying: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Dong said: "It's nothing, I just remembered something, let's go inside."

Wu Dong suddenly remembered the Li Shishi in history. It is said that Li Shishi and Song Huizong once had an affair. Could it be that Song Huizong hid Li Shishi here?Only Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty could transfer the imperial guards guarding the palace here.

"Is Shi Shi here? If she is, then Huizong should have brought her here... Shi Shi... Has she forgotten the agreement with me? She... Could it be that she joined Song Huizong?" , Wu Dong felt a little confused.

But no matter what, we must first see if Li Shishi is here.

Continuing to walk in now, I encountered more and more officers and soldiers along the way, there were hundreds of them.Moreover, the quality of these officers and soldiers is very good, much better than the officers and soldiers seen in the past.

Yang Zhidao: "Boss, these are the most powerful officers and soldiers in the imperial court. How could they appear here? Generally speaking, such officers and soldiers only appear when the emperor is traveling... Could it be that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is here? "

After saying this, Yang Zhi suddenly felt a little scared in his heart.After all, he used to be an officer and soldier, and he still held an indescribable reverence and terror for the emperor, and he still felt that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was a sacred existence that could not be desecrated.

Wu Dong just nodded silently and didn't speak.When they came to a corner, footsteps came from ahead again, and Wu Dong and others hurriedly hid.

This time it was two nuns who came with umbrellas, and one nun said, "Why are there so many officers and soldiers here again today? Could it be that noble man came to visit her again?"
