Let's say that Song Qingshu walked on the water all the way, and it was almost dark when he arrived at Jiangling City. Even if he had a profound skill, he was still exhausted after running such a long distance.
"It's better to use the plane from the previous life." Song Qingshu couldn't help but miss the days when he could fly across half of the country in two hours leisurely in his previous life.
Observing from a hill outside the city, most of the camps of the Jin people were stationed outside the city, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Jin soldiers must also be stationed in the city, the large army can still minimize the impact on the common people outside the city. .
After adjusting his breath for a while, after recovering his energy, Song Qingshu entered the city. It was not the first time he had come to Jiangling City, and he was very sad to revisit his old place.
The last time I came here, I just crossed over to this world, and it was the most desolate time. At that time, with the help of Bingxueer, I met Ding Dian here, learned the "Shen Zhao Jing", and also saw Ming Yan for the first time. Huang Rong.
"I don't know if Rong'er has heard about Guo Jing. I hope she won't get angry." Thinking of her round belly, a gentle smile flashed across Song Qingshu's face.
However, he quickly calmed down his thoughts. Now that Jiangling is in the midst of war, it is fine during the day, but there will be a curfew at night.
Although he knew Qi Fang's current address, he was not very familiar with Jiangling City, so he might not be able to find the specific street.
He knocked on the doors of several houses in a row, and finally, under the lure of Yinzi, he asked the direction of Qi Fang's residence. All the way through the night, he escaped the patrol of Jinren soldiers, and finally found Qi Fang's residence.
"I don't know how she's been doing during this period of time." An image of a young woman with pear blossoms and rain appeared in his mind, Song Qingshu secretly sighed, Qi Fang is really suffering, her childhood sweetheart was separated by conspiracy, Unknowingly married a "father-killing enemy", the only brother in the world who loved her and took pity on her died in the end...
"I hope my appearance can change her fate, at least make her live a happier life." Song Qingshu suddenly stopped, frowning and looking at the courtyard not far away.
Although this courtyard is not big, it is very unique and has all the necessary facilities. After all, Qi Fang is the young grandmother of the Wan family, the granddaughter-in-law of the former prime minister's family, and Song Qingshu sent his men to escort her back and brought a lot of checks and checks, so It is no surprise that she lives in such a yard.
The reason why Song Qingshu frowned was because he sensed that there was more than one person in the yard, and there were other men. Of course, he didn't think about it, he knew Qi Fang's character, she was a very loyal and traditional woman—of course, the matter with him was an accident, and it was absolutely impossible to lead a man in in the middle of the night; One or two!
"Did something happen to her?" Song Qingshu's heart moved, and he quickly sneaked in. There was a secret whistle at the gate of the yard. He was worried that it would bring danger to Qi Fang, so he didn't force his way in, but slipped silently to the roof of the house in the middle Come on, I plan to see the situation first.
"Tell me, where is "Liancheng Jue"?" At this moment, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from below.
"Liancheng Jue?" Song Qingshu was taken aback. It turned out that he came for "Liancheng Jue". Why is this person's voice so familiar
Puzzled in his heart, he untied the tile and took a look, only to see a middle-aged man with bags under his eyes like an old man standing there, he was Ling Tuisi, the prefect of Jiangling who had dealings with him back then.
"It turned out to be this vicious guy!" Song Qingshu didn't have any good feelings for him. In the original book, he buried his daughter alive for the treasure. In this world, he was almost tricked by him back then.
"I really don't know what "Liancheng Jue" is~" At this time, a panicked and pitiful voice came from the other side, Song Qingshu recognized Qi Fang's voice, looked down from another angle, and sure enough Seeing Qi Fang kneeling on the ground, tightly holding her daughter in her arms, her face was covered with tears.
Seeing her appearance, Song Qingshu turned cold, and was about to rescue her when he suddenly saw two people sitting on the other side: "Hey, why is it him?"
I saw a big man with a strange appearance, his eyebrows were turned to the left, he was flying horizontally, looking at him like a god, he was obviously Wu Liuqi, the beggar in the snow who had met once in Jiangling!
The fat man next to him looked kind, but he couldn't recognize who it was.
"Why did Wu Liuqi and Ling Tuisi get together?" Song Qingshu was a little puzzled, since Wu Liuqi thought that his brother Mei Niansheng died at the hands of Ling Tuisi, so he stabbed him once.
But what made him even more surprised was that the clothes of Wu Liuqi and the fat man beside him always had a familiar feeling. The fat man was wearing a golden robe, a rich man's attire, which matched his temperament quite well; Wu Liuqi It is a pair of blue and black clothes, which is very suitable for his own killing spirit.
Song Qingshu thought for a long time, and finally realized: Isn't this dress the same as Zhang San and Li Si!
He felt awe-inspiring, and didn't think it was a coincidence, especially when he thought of the legendary Knight Island rewarding good and punishing evil envoys. In addition to Zhang San and Li Si who often travel the rivers and lakes and are well-known, there are also Zhao Da, Qian Er, Friday, Wu Liu, Among the eight people, Zheng Qi and Wang Ba, Zhao Daqian is the only one. No matter their identity or martial arts, they are extremely mysterious. So far, there is no information to know their real identities. The remaining Zhang San Li Si, Friday Wu Liu, Zheng Qi Wang Ba are in the same rank. These six people's martial arts and status are almost the same in the Knight Island. gap.
Song Qingshu met more than a dozen envoys from the Knights Island in that ruined temple back then. Although those envoys were highly skilled, they lacked in experience and intelligence in dealing with the enemy. Obviously they were instant products accumulated by medicine and cheat books. Few against many, easy to kill in seconds, obviously he should be the emissary at the back of the ranking; if he is facing Zhang San Li Si, who have rich experience in the world and have been tempered in actual combat, rewarding good and punishing evil envoys, based on the comparison of the number of people on both sides at that time, I am afraid it will be a fierce battle .
"Zhang San Li Si, Wu Liu on Friday, Wu Liu..." Song Qingshu thought that Wu Liuqi's name was so similar to this Wu Liu, and his dress was similar to that of Zhang San Li Si. Ranked sixth among the good and punishing evil messengers, the little fat man next to him is probably Friday.
"Why did the people from Chivalrous Island get involved?" After discovering this, Song Qingshu decided to check the situation first, anyway, Qi Fang is not in any danger for the time being.
At this time, Wu Liuqi couldn't help but snorted when he heard Qi Fang's words: "You are Qi Changfa's daughter and Wan Zhenshan's daughter-in-law, how can you not know where Liancheng Jue is?"
Sensing the seriousness in his tone, Song Qingshu frowned slightly. Although this Wu Liuqi was the eagle claw of the Qing court in history, he was an indomitable man in the world of golden books. Such acts of bullying orphans and widows should not be his fault. Style, did he change his temper after joining the Knights Island, or was it because Qi Changfa Wan Zhenshan killed his senior brother Mei Niansheng that he hated Wu Jiwu
"I really don't know what the "Liancheng Jue" you are talking about. I have never heard it mentioned by my father or father-in-law, and it is the first time I heard it from you." Qi Fang explained in vain, pregnant The daughter in the middle seemed to feel her mother's panic, and couldn't help crying.
"It seems that you won't shed tears when you see the coffin!" Ling Tuisi smirked, snatched the baby from her arms and lifted it up high, "If you don't say anything else, I'll fall down."
"Don't!" Qi Fang exclaimed for a while, struggling to rush over, but was restrained by the subordinates next to her, unable to do anything at all.
Song Qingshu's heart turned cold, this Ling Tuisi killed his own daughter without blinking his eyes, even if he killed someone else's daughter, even a baby, he would not be soft-hearted.
He secretly raised his hand and was about to rush down to rescue him when he suddenly heard a person below shout: "I found it, I found it." Qi Fangshi even sent his men to rummage through the house to search for it.
Ling Tuisi was overjoyed when he saw this, and threw the water spinach back into Qi Fang's arms: "You bitch, do you still say you don't know "Lian Cheng Jue"?"
Qi Fang hurriedly hugged her daughter in her arms, looked at the "Anthology of Tang Poems" in his hand and asked in a daze, "Isn't this "Anthology of Tang Poems"?"
"Pretending to be crazy?" Ling Tuisi's face turned cold.
On the other hand, Wu Liuqi stopped her: "Looking at her appearance, I probably don't know."
Ling Tuisi nodded: "It's true that Qi Changfa and Wan Zhenshan are so old and cunning that we didn't tell him, but isn't it impossible for us to know the secret of "Liancheng Jue"?" Qi Fang was so frightened that she hugged her daughter tightly.
"Not necessarily," Wu Liuqi pointed to the man in yellow beside him, "My brother is an expert in this field."
Ling Tuisi's eyes dimmed, "Anthology of Tang Poetry" had already arrived in the hands of that person named Wu Wu, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: The martial arts of these people from Chivalrous Island are really unpredictable.
Song Qingshu on the roof just nodded secretly. This Friday's work is indeed not bad, but there is nothing to make a fuss about.
I saw Friday holding the "Anthology of Tang Poetry" and looking through it, saying: "If you want to hide a secret, you can use interlayers, special potions, or use some code words to mix in the plain text..."
He flipped through it and shook his head quickly: "There is no interlayer."
Immediately afterwards, he took each page of the book and roasted it on the candle, and then shook his head: "The fire is useless."
Then he took the book paper to the tip of his nose and sniffed it calmly: "Well, besides the smell of ink, there is also a faint strange smell..."
While talking, he spread the book paper on the table, then took out a chopstick, dipped it in a little water, and gently scratched the page.
Ling Tuisi and Wu Liuqi had already been attracted to them, and suddenly Ling Tuisi exclaimed in surprise: "A number has appeared!"
Song Qingshu vaguely saw the word "four" appearing in the blank space next to the page through the gap between several people, and couldn't help but secretly sighed: "It seems that the secret of "Liancheng Jue" cannot be kept after all."
The next Friday continued to sort out, and soon the hidden numbers of the entire book were found out.
Ling Tuisi frowned and said, "It's useless to just know these numbers. There are so many words in the whole Tang poem, I don't know where to use them, and I don't know the order."
But Wu Liuqi laughed: "I know this. Since it is called "Liancheng Jue", it is obviously hidden in the Liancheng swordsmanship, and every move in the Liancheng swordsmanship comes from a Tang poem. I happen to know the Liancheng swordsmanship."
He said as he came to the desk: "The first move of Liancheng swordsmanship comes from Du Fu's "Spring Return"... Well, here, it is the word 'four'! Okay, 'Moss Path Linjiang Bamboo', the fourth The word is 'Jiang', you have memorized it. The second trick is still Du Fu's poem, from "Chongjing Zhaoling". Well, it is 'Fifty-one'!" He counted each word: "One Five, ten, fifteen, twenty...'The mausoleum is empty, Xiong Wei guards Cuiwei', the fifty-first character, that is the word 'ling'."
Ling Tuisi on the side muttered to himself: "'Jiangling', 'Jiangling', wonderful, it turns out that they are in Jingzhou. It seems that half my life's hard work was not in vain." Most of the excitement couldn't help but dissipated.
Friday on the side seemed to see his thoughts, and said lightly: "If you can find Emperor Liang Yuan's treasure this time, your credit will be indispensable, and your benefits will be indispensable at that time."
"Thank you, Holy Envoy." Ling Tuisi turned his worries into joy, and hurriedly saluted.
Wu Liuqi on the side ignored him, and continued to study: "The third move of swordsmanship comes from Chumo's "Shengguo Temple", thirty-three, thirty-third characters, "The city below is near, and the bells and chimes are mixed with Shengge" "City" in the Chinese character, "Jiangling City", yes, yes! Then what is suspicious? The fourth trick is twenty-eight, um, one five, ten, fifteen... twenty-eighth The first character is the word for 'South', 'Jiangling City South'."
Song Qingshu naturally knew that the treasure was in Tianning Temple, so he didn't show the slightest surprise. On the contrary, he was even more puzzled: "Now that the Jin people have captured Jiangling, why did they choose this time to get the treasure?"
At this moment, Wu Liuqi has deciphered the rest of the characters: "... the Buddha statue in the main hall of Xitianning Temple worships it devoutly and prays to the Tathagata for blessings and bliss..."
Ling Tuisi, who was on the side, couldn't help being shocked: "What's 'worshiping him devoutly, praying through psychics', and what's 'the Tathagata's blessing, reborn in bliss'! His grandma's, 'reborn in bliss', isn't that telling people to see the ten kings of Hades? ?”
Thinking of how he had spent most of his life researching, racking his brains and even sacrificing his daughter, and getting such a result, he couldn't help feeling a little crazy.
On the other hand, Friday was calm enough: "It must not be written too clearly here, and most of the treasures are hidden in Tianning Temple."
After being reminded by him, Ling Tuisi finally recovered from his mania: "That's right, that's right. Tianning Temple has been around for hundreds of years. It already existed in the time of Emperor Liang Yuan. It is indeed possible to hide the treasure in it."
Wu Liuqi closed the page and said, "Let's go to Tianning Temple to take out the treasure first. By the way, is there any news from Bei Haishi?"
Hearing the word Bei Haishi, Song Qingshu on the roof couldn't help being surprised, it turned out that they were in the same group.
Friday also showed doubts: "He took people to deal with the Ruan family, but unfortunately we have lost news since then. But I have already sent people to inquire. The Ruan family's big ship is still more than a hundred miles away from here, and it should be here tomorrow. I can arrive."
Ling Tuisi couldn't help but said: "There has been no news from Dr. Bei, could something have happened?"
Shaking his head on Friday: "Impossible, those people led by Bei Haishi are many experts. We have investigated the guards of the Ruan family for a long time. Even if there are twice as many people, they are not their opponents. The reason why there is no news There must be other reasons for coming here, just ask him tomorrow."
Wu Liuqi also said: "We must hurry up and take out the treasures of Tianning Temple and transport them to the pier today and tomorrow, and we will transport them away as soon as the Ruan family's boat arrives tomorrow."
Song Qingshu on the roof finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Bei Haishi led people to attack Mrs. Ruan's fleet mainly because they took a fancy to their big ship.
Ling Tuisi couldn't help admiring: "Master is really clever. This time, he not only broke one of Han Yuzhou's arms, but also used the Ruan family's boat to let the guards along the way let him go. It's really high."
Friday also couldn't help laughing: "After all, Han Yuzhou is now the head of a hundred officials, and the strength of his subordinates cannot be underestimated. Many people along the river are his direct descendants, and they don't buy into the master's account. Now there is a boat from the Ruan family. , it is equivalent to having an amulet, the owner and Han Xiang are working together to protect the boat, who dares to stop and inspect along the way?"
Song Qingshu suddenly realized that Mrs. Ruan was a member of Han Yuzhou, and she must have gone to Sichuan this time to target Wu Xi's rebellion. However, Jia Sidao got the news and sent someone to make her in advance, and then used her boat to transport the treasure away. The guards along the way, whether they belong to the Han faction or the Jia faction, will not stop them, so that the treasure can be transported away without anyone noticing.
And he also understood that the other party chose to attack Jiangling when the Jin soldiers captured Jiangling. They used the turmoil to cover up the treasure-robbing behavior.
"It's really scheming, but it's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and finally met me." Song Qingshu secretly rejoiced, if he hadn't come to visit Qi Fang on a whim, how would he know such a big secret
"Should I kill this bitch first?" Several people discussed going to Tianning Temple to get the treasure, Ling Tuisi suddenly turned to look at Qi Fang, with a fierce look in his eyes.
