Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 230 The distance was quickly drawn away

However, it didn't take long, just over ten breaths, a big man in his 30s suddenly emerged from the water, looked left and right, swam to the nearest board, turned over, stepped on the board , using both hands to continuously slap the water surface, without saying a word, just follow the water flow downstream desperately, and intentionally go to the other side of the river far away from this side.

Immediately after that, not far from this person, a middle-aged man emerged from the water, pointed at the big man and said, "The Heavenly Star Jade Pendant is in his hand."

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen people came out of the water immediately, but most of the boards they used before were washed away by the water, only a few grabbed the boards and chased them in the same way, most of them did not grab the boards The plank could only swim desperately in the water to chase, but it was a pity that they were quickly pulled away.

Shangguan Bingyun and Wu Xingkui, who managed to get rid of the imperial army with great difficulty, could only look unwilling and depressed standing on the river bank at this moment.Because the big man holding the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant was thirty or forty feet away from the river bank.With their strength, they couldn't make it through in one breath, but it was too late to find a plank or something from the shore and use the same method to catch up.

However, the big man will always go ashore, Shangguan Bingyun and Wu Xingkui thought so, and the hundreds of Jianghu masters who were chased and killed by two thousand cavalry and fled in all directions, but did not stay away also thought the same way.

So, they all chased along the river bank.

This included a hundred masters sent by Zhao Guangyi who covered their faces and mixed with various forces in the Jianghu.They suffered an indiscriminate disaster just now, more than 30 people were killed by iron cavalry in a daze, and they escaped by using the woods desperately.At this time, it was difficult to gather the hands together again.

He didn't get anything, so he lost one-third of his manpower. How could the steward of Prince Jin's mansion who led the team dare to meet Zhao Guangyi like this, and chased after him along the river bank with the rest of the people.

Ye Chen's face is still ugly at this time, but his heart is full of relief. It is the best ending for the fake Heavenly Star Jade Pendant to fall into the hands of ordinary Jianghu masters. The super expert recognized it as a fake, and it would be impossible to tell by then.It can be said that Ye Chen was replaced after he threw out the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant.

Another big harvest, another master of Tianyi died after Si Luoyi. After all, there would not be too many masters of Si Luoyi's level, even in Tianyi.

Ye Chen knew that he hadn't finished the job at this time, and his boat had to make a gesture to catch up, and let the Da Song Navy master also catch up.

While Ye Chen was yelling for people to drive the boat to chase after him, he chopped off his foot lightly, and a hole suddenly broke in the boat, and the river flooded the boat. After Wang Chao shouted that there were assassins, the navy commanded Song Chengfeng Ji Ling quickly dismissed the idea of ​​making a great contribution by retrieving the treasure for Ye Hou, commanded seven large ships to protect Ye Chen, and then took Ye Chen and his party to the large ship.

Under the persuasion of his life-and-death brother Wang Chao and the commander of the navy, Ye Chen finally temporarily gave up his plan to recover the Tianxing Jade Pendant himself, and went back home.And before that, on the shore, Luo Yaoshun had someone find a carriage, and was already one step ahead, protecting Han Ke'er back to the Ye Mansion in Kaifeng City.

The city of Kaifeng is seething, all sorts of tricks, big and small gangs, and people of all colors have all been mobilized.Because Xiangfu Hou Yechen offered a huge reward of 500 Guan, so that someone could provide him with news about the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant.The [-] guan is naturally not comparable to the news from the Southern Han Dynasty offering a reward of [-] million taels of silver or the emperor of the Southern Han Kingdom.However, Ye Chen is only providing a piece of news after all!The difficulty level is also incomparable.

Ye Chen came to the Cao Gang in person, and asked Zhou Jie to mobilize the people of the Cao Gang to inquire about the news, and asked them to closely monitor all kinds of suspicious persons.

Ye Chen hosted a banquet for all the leaders in Kaifeng, and asked them to mobilize manpower and connections to find out news for him.

At the same time, Ye Mansion's family Ding filled Kaifeng City with Ye Mansion's reward orders.

Ye Chen personally entered the palace to see the emperor, and then there was a decree in the palace. The government forces of the prefectures and counties in the Song Dynasty, the Xiang army, etc. were mobilized, and the government set up inspection checkpoints everywhere, trying their best to recover Ye Chen for him. That treasure.In particular, several main roads from the Song Dynasty to the Southern Han Dynasty were heavily guarded, and it was difficult to pass except for crossing mountains and ridges or detours.

The guards at Ye Chen's residence were dispatched halfway, leaving Kaifeng for the south.

Soon, the whole world knew that Ye Chen's treasure, the Tianxing Jade Pendant, was robbed in the famous case of the Yellow River Grand Ferry, and everyone saw Ye Chen's persistence.

What is the concept of [-] strings? The small gangs and hooligans from all over the place immediately acted quickly, brothels, inns, restaurants, casinos and other places, and no one was spared.

The youngest Hou Yexiang Fu Hou Yechen in the Song Dynasty, after losing his temper in the front yard, returned to the backyard with a relaxed expression on his face.Now the whole world knows that he has lost his Heavenly Star Jade Pendant, and he has successfully achieved his goal of diverting the danger.And Han Ke'er, after being personally treated by the ghost doctor, has escaped from the illusion created by the demon monk Shangguan Bingyun, and is raising her baby in the backyard with a look of fear.

"In your opinion, is the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant that Ye Chen threw out real or fake?"

Zhao Kuangyin put down the vermilion pen in his hand, pressed his temple, and casually asked Zhang Zhan who was standing beside him.

"If you go back to the official's house, judging from Ye Hou's crazy mobilization of everyone to look for the jade pendant, I think it is probably true, but Taoist Xing thinks it is only [-]% likely to be true." Zhang Zhan said truthfully. .

"Is Xing Xiyang's injury healed? Have you found out who was the one who besieged and killed Xing Xiyang?" Zhao Kuangyin's expression suddenly became solemn. After he sent Zhao Pu, Zhao Guangyi, and Cao Bin, three of his most powerful ministers, to lead people to encircle and suppress Xing Xiyang At the same time as the power of the Sanctuary in the Central Plains, a master appeared to assassinate Xing Xiyang. Could this power be from the Sanctuary?
As for the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant, Ye Chen once assured him face to face, and even swore, that the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant would never have the ability to make people live forever and ascend to the so-called fairy world, but it only involved a big secret of Ye Chen's sect.So he didn't pay much attention to that day's star jade pendant, it would be better if he could get it, and it would be nothing if he couldn't get it.

Zhang Zhan also saw this, so he stopped talking about the Tianxing jade pendant and said, "Officials! According to Xing Xiyang himself, the four people who surrounded and killed him were the four golden guardians of the eight golden and silver guardians of Jisitang. .”

Zhao Kuangyin's expression darkened when he heard the words, his expression fluctuated, and he didn't know what to think.

Qian Ning came back from the south. He took people wearing the human skin masks of Qin Quan and Meng Xiu, the envoys of the Southern Han Dynasty, to the south to perform a play. Now it seems that the performance was very good and successful.At least Ye Chen was satisfied.

Ma Gangzi pretended to be Zhao Si and went around the city of Kaifeng, which was also very successful.Because except for a small number of people, all the forces under Zhao Si's command in Kaifeng and the Central Plains Three Routes were wiped out by the Song court.It is said that during the arrest process, there was fierce resistance. Five to six hundred people were killed on the spot and more than 600 people were arrested.That's not counting family servants.

Ye Chen also felt guilty for a while when he heard that so many people died, tens of thousands were demoted to slavery, but after hearing the news from the people Li Siyan stayed in the Qinling Mountains in Guanzhong just now, this kind of self-indulgence The blame and guilt were thrown to the back of his mind.

Sure enough, as Yu Daoxiang said in the secret letter, the forces under the command of the Great Elder of the Holy Church suffered such a heavy blow and loss. In order to respond to and rescue the arrested people, the number of people who searched for Yu Daoxiang and his father was indeed reduced by nearly half. many.

Another thing that made Ye Chen feel emotional and unexpected happened yesterday. Li Junhao, who had just recovered, begged Ye Chen to let go of his master Shanyue Shangren, but after being politely refused by Ye Chen, he secretly gave Shanyue Shangren to him. rescued.

It is really rare in the world that Li Junhao values ​​love and righteousness so much.Ye Chen had to admire it.

Outside the south gate of Luoyang, there is a tea stand.

Li Junhao turned his head and glanced at the tall Luoyang city wall behind him, and wanted to carry his master on his back and continue on his way. Although he was not stopped by anything and Master Hou didn't send anyone to chase him, he still wanted to send his master out of the Song Dynasty.His master was seriously injured and hadn't recovered yet, so he was not at ease in Song Dynasty.

Just thinking of Ye Chen treating him like a brother, and being kind again and again, Li Junhao felt guilty for going against Ye Chen's will and rescuing his master from Ye Mansion.

After waiting for a while, he didn't wait for the master to climb up his back, but what he waited for was numbness in his ribs, and he lay down on the muddy ground involuntarily, looking at the master standing next to him with a smile and looking at him in puzzlement.

The man on the mountain stood firmly, not at all like someone who had been seriously injured. It was obvious that his injury had healed at some point.Li Junhao never noticed.

"My good disciple, let's go back to Dali as a teacher! I will exchange you and Ye Chen for some things as a teacher. I think Ye Chen's personality and relationship with you should not refuse. I didn't look at the Shangguan. Bing Yun captured Ye Chen's concubine, and asked Ye Chen to exchange the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant." The mountain master said in a low voice.

Saying this, he was about to carry Shan Li Junhao to the carriage he was sitting in before.

But at this moment, more than a dozen people from the nearby tea stall, as well as people basking in the sun by the city wall not far away suddenly surrounded him.Everyone was holding long knives and even hard bows in their hands.However, the carriage that Li Junhao had brought him to sit in before had been driven away far away.

There are more than 60 people in this group, and they are all good players.

These people are naturally members of the Southern Gang, and the leader is Xu Fangyi, the deputy head of the Southern Gang.

"Let go of our leader, and we will let you go." Xu Fangyi said in a deep voice.

The man on the mountain's face was extremely ugly. He estimated his strength. It would be difficult to leave alone with him, and it would be even more impossible to retreat completely, not to mention that his injury has not fully healed.As for what Xu Fangyi said, he didn't believe it, so he took Li Junhao as a hostage with one hand and retreated with the other.

"Master! They are all my subordinates. If you let me go, they won't chase you if I'm here." Li Junhao said with difficulty.
