The lights were brightly lit outside, and the room was so depressed that no one dared to breathe.
Shopkeeper Sun's face was sinking like water, and he paced around the flower hall with his hands behind his back.
A man in black stepped into the threshold. He lowered his head and dared not look at Shopkeeper Sun's expression. He only tightened his skin and made a look of drooping shoulders and bowing his back, looking depressed and fearful...
"It's about to dawn."
Shopkeeper Sun's voice was very soft, almost like a mosquito, but the man in black shivered violently.
At the same time, there were six other people standing in the shadows of the house shaking.
They had come before, all covered their heads and faces, wearing black night clothes, and now they all shrank their necks like a flock of black quails.
"Who is boasting in front of me that the people in Fengxing Pavilion are just bereaved dogs, and they can be caught back in less than an hour?" Shopkeeper Sun continued to pace, not knowing how he walked, the flat soles could be in the There was a screeching sound of gold and stone hitting on the smooth blue bricks.
Quails look at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their mouths.
No one dared to complain, even though they felt wronged in their hearts.
That Lao Shizi formation method is about to fall out of people's hair, practice day and night, usually close the door in the courtyard and step left and right, and when the night is dark and windy, I take my brother to climb the wall and walk over the eaves to practice on the ground. , I can't call Fengxing Pavilion people to find it.
If it weren't for the time when Ganquan Tang was not built, Runxian County would have already been the site of Piaoping Pavilion, and it would not be so easy to fool those guys.
"People ran away, and the storeroom of the firm was also probed... I made a military order on the Lord, this is the errand you gave me? It seems that you think I am old, and you are not satisfied when you see me occupying this position. , want to take me to Huangquan Road early to drink Mengpo soup?"
Shopkeeper Sun's tone was gloomy, and everyone suddenly fought a cold war. One of them was pushed out, and Nuonuo said: "The commander calms down, the city is surrounded by water, in addition to the officers and soldiers, we are also in the various companies. Those who slipped through the net. There are more than 20 of them, and the firewood and ordinary houses can't hide at all, and there will be news about them soon... "
Before he could finish speaking, a man in black hurried in.
"Report, there is a discovery in Dongcheng."
The black quails breathed a sigh of relief, and before they had time to show their relaxed expression, the messenger's next sentence pushed them into the cold water.
"There are marks left by grappling hooks and ropes under the city wall. Follow the marks all the way up, and the footprints have been found outside the city... People from Fengxing Pavilion, escaped."
"boom."
Shopkeeper Sun smashed the porcelain bottle on the lower table with one palm.
His eyes were burning, and he wanted to tear apart the useless men in front of him.
"Commander, we will set off immediately, and we must take people—"
"return!"
Shopkeeper Sun shouted angrily, the shadow cast by the candlelight made his expression extremely ferocious, and then he squeezed a tone-shifting syllable from between his teeth.
"withdraw."
***
The swordsman watched the people in Fengxing Pavilion climb over the city wall one by one, and found that Mo Li and Meng Qi had no intention of the past at all.
"Aren't you going?" the swordsman asked.
"This is very interesting, how do you want to see your lord when you leave?" Meng Qi stroked his chin and dismantled the swordsman with great interest, "Didn't you already make up your mind to rely on me and the doctor? If we If we don't stay, you will find a way to keep us in the city. For example, you know which inn the people who give you Ahi Rong stay, what accent they use, what kind of clothes they wear... Of course, you It's not a lie, it's just that I don't need it."
The swordsman frowned, with a vague foreboding.
"What do you mean by that?"
"The clues you know are false, and you have never gained the trust of your benefactor."
The swordsman clenched his fists and said nothing.
Mo Li was subconsciously alert, because the swordsman looked like he was going to hit someone.
As a result, the swordsman forcibly held back his anger, but his expression was not kept well, and at first glance, it seemed that he had suffered a great grievance.
- If there are no scars on this person's face, the humiliated eyes and the corners of his lips are slightly lowered, this grievance can break through the sky, making those who hear it sad and those who see it cry.
Now affected by the scar, the power is greatly reduced, and it looks like a bandit who can't get money.
Ink carp: "… "
Meng Qi: "..."
Hats and veils are still necessary.
Some people lose their veils, just as a warrior loses his armor and a tortoise loses its shell.
"Meng Guoshi, it's useless for me to sow discord." The swordsman couldn't see his expression, and he said every word and word, "Even if the master hides something from me, but I never asked him, it doesn't count. cheat."
"Then what are you worried about?" Meng Qi asked with a half-smile.
The swordsman was silent.
Meng Qi casually counted to the swordsman: "Let me guess, all you care about is martial arts and yourself. If you want to go to the next level and pursue a higher level of martial arts, you must first live... You You have not taken Ahirong, the doctor has treated you, and you are not poisoned. Your Lord drives you with kindness, saves you from prison, gives you exercises, and makes you what you are today. What you worry about is nothing more than It's the exercises, and the first rescue."
Are there any hidden flaws in the exercises
Could rescue be a calculation
The swordsman's face turned blue and white, and he said coldly: "If people live in the world, if they don't have the value of being used by others, how can someone rescue them when they are in trouble?"
Mo Li frowned when he heard the words, and these words erased those who were truly willing to do good deeds. He knew that the swordsman had a rough life and his thoughts were extreme. It was reasonable to have such remarks, but at the moment Mo Li was still dissatisfied and couldn't help but retort: "This statement is bad, Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs to save the tribe from famine. Diseases; in the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, corpses were spread all over the field and plagues were prevalent, and the people were precarious.
The swordsman had never read, and Shennong knew that the latter one would be a little blind.
But at this time, he couldn't admit that he was inexperienced. The swordsman could only bite the bullet and argue: "In ancient times, there were sages, but nowadays people are more selfish. It's a joke to talk about things with people from so long ago."
Meng Qi is not happy now.
Do you want to overthrow the fourteen heroes of the founding of the Chu Dynasty
Although Emperor Chu Yuan was not a thing, there were some old friends whom Meng Qi really admired.
"The Marquis of Leyang, Zhu Yan, is a famous person in the world, and his family is rich, and he is a person who can be called a sage in the future; Yin Qingheng, the Duke of Wei, won the first place on the gold list at the age of seventeen. The common people of Nanyang, Xunyang, and Maochuan, and three counties of Nanyang, Xunyang, and Maochuan are obtained by their strategies. If it is for fame and fortune, they can live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. military?"
The swordsman was stunned, thinking that he was just an ordinary person, Meng Qi Zhangkou was this prince and that prince, are you looking for trouble
"You consider yourself to be a member of the martial arts, and you don't want to have anything to do with the government, so what about the world's number one master Qin Shenyi thirty years ago?" He asked, "Dr. Xuan Gourd has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has never suffered a defeat in his life. He doesn't want to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, he doesn't order people, he doesn't seek fame or gain, he doesn't compete for martial arts secrets, and he has only saved countless people. Wouldn't it be possible to achieve a master's martial arts?"
Swordsman: "..."
He just wanted to find a reason for himself. The Lord only met him occasionally, and seeing that he was talented and rooted, he came to the rescue.
But as a master, how can you know what the roots of a child who is covered in wounds and locked up without seeing the light of day
The swordsman only wants to believe that this is a coincidence.
Pressing down the complicated emotions that were churning in his heart, the swordsman looked up and found that there was no one in front of him.
Meng Qi dragged the ink carp away.
"The stubborn and inept generation, why should the doctor bother?" Meng Qi deliberately told the swordsmen who were chasing after him.
Mo Li thought that this was a patient, and he had to be treated. Besides, he had to find clues about the Dragon Vein companion from the other party.
Meng Qi gestured with his eyes: Don't worry, you can't lose it.
The swordsman is a donkey, and if he can't walk and go backwards, he will run upside down with a few words.
- Please be as aggressive as a general, and wait for his contribution later.
Meng Qi was complacent, like a fox swaying across the market with a chicken in his hand.
Mo Li turned his head silently.
The way of a gentleman or something, forget it when you are with Meng Qi. For example, Mo Li now has to temporarily give up his conscience and watch the swordsman come to the door by himself.
"Just now, I went to the Sun Family Business. The people who were restrained by your acupoints have disappeared. Now the people of Fengxing Pavilion are surrounded by them and escaped. They must have realized that something is wrong." Mo Li looked into the distance, on the roof. Figures staggered and hurriedly shuttled to the corners of the alleys, while Piaoping Pavilion was still searching in the city.
As long as you find the leader of one of the squads, maybe following that person will be able to directly lift the nest
"It doesn't matter, I'm 80 percent sure of the Sun family's hiding place."
Meng Qi folded his palms slightly towards the street in the distance and said with a smile, "All formations have formation eyes. This formation looks exquisite, but the corners of the eaves of the house can easily block the line of sight. Something went wrong. It needs to be their own house, without making the slightest change, in order to maintain the basic formation and be able to see and listen to all directions."
Mo Li understood and asked, "How many places are there like this array?"
Meng Qi Ranran: "There are three places in total. I have seen them before. Two of the houses have no human voice, and only one is brightly lit."
"It's not too late, let's go."
The two performed Qinggong at the same time, in the night. The afterimage left in the color is like a vain smoke.
The swordsman gritted his teeth and chased after him, but he was finally not thrown off.
After a while, the three climbed to an eaves.
The courtyard was deserted, and the hanging lanterns swayed, casting staggered shadows.
Meng Qi picked up a stone and threw it towards the courtyard.
"Clap."
Throwing stones to ask for directions was fruitless, neither hidden weapons nor hordes of black-clothed killers.
Meng Qi turned his head abruptly and jumped up on the two-story roof of a restaurant.
In the dark night, those shadows that have always been shuttled gradually diminished, like withered camellias, disappearing layer by layer without a trace.
"Ran."
Meng Qi felt that he and the doctor came quickly enough. The shopkeeper of the Sun family, the person in charge of the Piaoping Pavilion here, could actually judge the situation and slip away in time
Piaoping Pavilion has spent so much effort to put Run County into its pocket. This is their solid foundation. Can this be said to be lost
"With such courage, I underestimate him." Meng Qi said to himself, "However, the three caves of the cunning rabbit."
The swordsman thought that Meng Qi was going to be angry, but Meng Qi chose a direction to pursue without hesitation, and Mo Li did not raise any questions.
The hustle and bustle in the city slowly subsided.
The officers and soldiers couldn't find anyone suspected of "disrupting the party", and they felt that the county magistrate was making a big fuss, so they complained.
"Maybe it's just a clumsy little thief who knocked over the lights. The staff of those shops in Dongcheng are used to swearing, and to entertain the brothers like this, they have to knock them out for a hard fee to give the brothers a drink!"
"Shut up! What do you know, bows were found in Ganquantang. Crossbow weapons! Now that everyone has run away, the magistrate has an order, and the chaos must be caught before dawn!"
The officers and soldiers below ran rumblingly.
The swordsman on the roof followed and found that the road was wrong.
"Are you going to the barracks outside the city?"
Meng Qi did not answer.
Isn't it obvious? I really thought that Piaoping Pavilion could cover the sky with one hand, and relying on the mysterious formation, it would not be afraid that someone would make mistakes and be discovered by officers and soldiers.
Those who are in formation will always leave a way out for themselves.
It also leaves room for remedies for mistakes.
"Where can so many people in the Sun family usually hide? Business houses are not allowed, and they can't squat in the tunnel every day." Mo Li speculated from the other side.
In the barracks, empty pay is common, and usually no one will come to check the origin of the soldiers' household registration. This is convenient for Piaoping Pavilion to do it.
Some people take off their night clothes and are officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers are also mixed with their people.
The swordsman could not have imagined that just because he was still the brain of the Jianghu people, the Jianghu affairs should be the Jianghu.
Meng Qi sneered.
Everyone has their eyes on the world, and they are suspected to be descendants of the Xiliang Kingdom. They are running the site of Run County. Can they let go of the barracks
The house just now must have a tunnel leading to the outside of the city!
But neither Mo Li nor Meng Qi would go in. There are too many traps that can be set up in the tunnel, and if it is not possible, they will collapse!
The Sun family has withdrawn, and knowing that they have encountered an opponent, will they not stay behind
impossible.
Fighting with ingenuity, the most taboo is to be led away by the other party.
Mo Li looked at Meng Qi's back, and saw Meng Guoshi's style in a trance.
The three supreme masters performed light gong, and ordinary people couldn't see their shadows at all.
All levels, obstacles, even the city walls are no problem. The people in Fengxing Pavilion had to use ropes, and the ink carp stepped on the vertical city wall with the toes, and the people passed over it lightly.
Although the swordsman's hands and feet have not fully recovered, the best of his martial arts is Qinggong.
Not to mention Meng Qi.
Change into a wide-sleeved robe, more like a fairy than a human.
The barracks was stationed not far from the county seat.
The ink carp slowed down in time and reminded: "Be careful of the trap."
Meng Qi found a dirt slope, swept up, and took a closer look at the distribution of the barracks.
The more he looked, the more strange his face became.
"How?" Mo Li asked.
"The people of Piaoping Pavilion in the Run County Barracks are not low-ranking people. It's hard to say whether they have an official position or not. But they must be someone who can speak in front of the county lieutenant."
Mo Li looked at the barracks and found that there seemed to be a pattern, and couldn't help asking: "Is this also a formation?"
"...It shouldn't count."
Meng Qi touched his nose and said with a strange expression, "This is the way to set up camp to prevent the enemy from attacking at night. It only takes 80 people to rest in turn to be able to guard against all directions, and the rest of the soldiers can sleep. It was also adopted by the Chu army first, and they learned it well."
Mo Li felt that Meng Qi must have something else to say. He thought about it and asked in a low voice, "Are you familiar?"
Meng Qi avoided the swordsman and bit his ear with the doctor in a low voice: "I invented it. At that time, I always escorted grain and grass."
The author has something to say: Zhang Zhongjing is really amazing. He was from the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty. He came from a noble family and served as the prefect of Changsha. At that time, the people who died in the war were not buried in time, and there was a plague, and the people who caught up with the natural disaster were completely unable to survive. Often a village is dead.
The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster in a thousand miles...
Zhang Zhongjing was determined to practice medicine to save the world, traveled many places, received many medical prescriptions, and authored several medical books such as the Treatise on Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases. It is hoped that when the people get sick and plagues, those who want to save them can find a way to cure the disease, so that the people can have a way to live. Therefore, he was honored as a medical saint.
