Nanxia and Ying's Search for Zhao Ji

A round of cold crescent moon was reflected by the firelight in the temple, which made him look lazy, so he simply hid in the clouds and fell into a sound sleep.The faint moonlight shines through the thin clouds into the forest, adding a bit of chill to this early summer night.Su Hong hurried back to the temple, facing the raging fire, the only thing she thought of was to break in and find Zhao Qingxue.She was about to rush into the gate of the courtyard when she saw the silver dart on the door out of the corner of her eye, hurriedly took it off, read the writing on it, turned around and ran towards Linxi Luanshigang.

In Linxi, rocks piled up one after another, and the man in black hides behind the rocks, only waiting for Su Hong to appear.Suddenly, a white shadow drifted past and landed in the stone formation. The man in black seized the opportunity and cut the rope, and the surrounding stones suddenly flew towards Su Hong.Su Hong stood up lightly, dodging the flying stones in front, only heard a "bang", the stone was colliding with the stones behind it, and smashed to the ground.Su Hong shook her sleeves and drew out her sword, splitting the stones on both sides, unexpectedly, two boulders flew past one after another behind her, Su Hong flashed one, but the moment her figure fell, she was hit by the following boulder , leaned forward, suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.Su Hong supported the ground with her arms, and she was about to get up, but she had no strength left.The man in black approached her, squatted down, and took off his mask, revealing his original face.As expected by Zhan Zhao, the man in black is indeed Yan Zhengcheng.He grabbed Su Hong's collar and said with a smile: "If I knew you came alone, why would I have to work so hard?" He threw Su Hong out, pulled out the iron chain around his waist with one hand, and threw it at Su Hong When the iron chain touched the skin of his body, blood flowed immediately, and Su Hong slammed into the rock with force, and his body was covered with blood.

Yan Zhengcheng smiled ferociously, and slowly approached Su Hong, but felt a cold light flash, a sharp sword suddenly struck, and he swung his iron chain around the edge of the sword.Yan Zhengcheng turned his head to look, seeing that it was Zhan Zhao, he couldn't help being startled, and asked, "How could it be you?"

"Is this what Zhan wants to ask?" Zhan Zhao asked back.

"Yan happened to meet a wanted criminal and wanted to arrest the government, what questions do you have?" Yan Zhengcheng asked aggressively.

"Sect Leader Yan deliberately transfers others away in order to catch important criminals, so he really bothered. But when the Clan Leader entered Beijing, how would he know that the government wants him?" When Zhan Zhao said this, Yan Zhengcheng was left speechless.Seeing that the incident had been revealed, he immediately turned angry, pulled back the iron chain, and shot again, Zhan Zhao moved lightly under his feet, dodging the attacking chain without any damage.

At this time, Zhao Qingxue and Bai Yutang rushed to help Su Hong who was lying on the ground.The face that was originally like a peach blossom is now completely devoid of color, and there is no trace of expression in the tightly closed eyes.Zhao Qingxue took out a pill and put it into Su Hong's mouth, feeling Su Hong's pulse with her fingertips, a cloud of mist sprouted in her bright eyes, she looked up at Bai Yutang shaking her head, tears fell down, soaking her clothes.Bai Yutang understood what she meant, but still refused to give up, he hurriedly supported her behind with his big palm, and poured his internal energy into her body, unexpectedly Su Hong frowned, and poured out another mouthful of blood.Bai Yutang was startled, withdrew his skills, let Su Hong lean on his arm, caressed her face, put her face close to him, and called out: "Hong'er, do you still remember my promise, I Bai Yutang You won’t break your word, and neither will you.”

Su Hong slightly opened her eyes, shaking those pitch-black eyes, looked at Bai Yutang, but smiled, and said, "I... haven't... promised to you. Cough, cough."

"Now it's up to you not to agree, let's go now." Bai Yutang said, hugged Su Hong horizontally, stood up, and walked the way when he came, Zhao Qingxue stood aside, looked at the two, and couldn't say in his heart sorrow and grief.Bai Yutang stood still suddenly, without looking back, he just said, "Cat, if you punish him, I, Bai Yutang, will no longer care about being called a cat and mouse, and recognize you as a friend." After finishing speaking, he flew away.

When Han Zhang arrived, his eyes were full, he shook his head and said to Zhao Qingxue: "Miss Zhao, you can let them go, there are many people to take care of them on the way, I believe that with the cat of the government, they will be able to catch this person. "Zhao Qingxue nodded, leaned forward, followed Bai Yutang, and left the stone formation.

On the other side, Zhan Zhaojuque shook off the iron chain with a wave, and landed on Yan Zhengcheng's face with a flying kick.Yan Zhengcheng felt a black shadow flash in front of him, he took two steps back, raised his hand to wipe off the blood from the corner of his lips, and stared fiercely at Zhan Zhao with eyes full of fierce light.As soon as Zhan Zhao drew back his sword, he stood the sword by his side, and said to Han Zhang: "Second Hero Han still has important things to do, Zhan Zhao will definitely subdue this man for Brother Bai, and escort him to the Kaifeng government office."

"Zhan Zhao, you are indeed a man. It is not in vain that my brothers and I trust you so much. Don't worry, I am also a person who keeps my promise on the empty island." After hearing a roaring sound, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the thorough mouse had disappeared.

Zhan Zhao moved his eyes sideways to Yan Zhengcheng, facing the angry face, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he swung the long sword in his hand, drawing a flash of lightning, pointing at Yan Zhengcheng.Seeing the sword's edge dancing, Yan Zhengcheng took out the silver needle from his bosom in a hurry, and threw it away, and the needle flew towards Zhan Zhao.In Zhan Zhao's hand, the sword danced with flying flowers, scattered the silver needles, turned his body around to Yan Zhengcheng's side, turned his wrist, and the giant que had already reached Yan Zhengcheng's neck.Yan Zhengcheng sneered and said, "As expected of Nan Xia, Yan is not as good as others, so I should admit defeat." Then, he turned his head slightly, his eyes slid along the sword's edge to Zhan Zhao's sharp eyes, and said: " But Mr. Zhan, the crime of hurting others is a petty crime compared to other crimes. I am afraid that once Yan says one or two things, your lord will still indulge me. Then how will you explain it to Bai Yutang. Haha. "Yan Zhengcheng said with a grin.

"Master Yan is worrying too much. The matter of trial should be weighed by adults. It is Zhan's responsibility to grasp the silver needle." Zhan Zhao said, showing his left hand hidden in his sleeve, a gleaming silver needle. The needle flashed in front of Yan Zhengcheng's eyes, and the trusting look in Yan Zhengcheng's eyes disappeared instantly, and he bowed his head in silence.

Zhan Zhao escorted the prisoner back to Beijing, but Bao Zheng was not in a hurry to try the case, instead he was silent for a few days, as if he just waited for the right time to act.As for Jixiang's mansion, it was in chaos within a few days, Zhao Shiquan's domestic slaves were often seen wandering outside Kaifeng mansion, seeming to inquire about something.Naturally, the prison cell of the Kaifeng government office has never been peaceful. Since Yan Zhengcheng moved in, there have been frequent visits by people, but what these visitors brought was not food, but shiny silver iron weapons.

On this day, the hall of Kaifeng Mansion was startled, and the officials on both sides stood in silence.Zhan Zhao rushed over to Yan Zhengcheng, who knelt down powerlessly on the ground with his head bowed deeply, as if he had lost his soul.Not long after, Zhao Shiquan was also invited.This plan sat down on the chair that had been prepared for him at the side of the yamen, first gave Yan Zhengcheng a nonchalant look, and then asked: "Master Bao, I don't know why you invited the truth today?"

"Ji Xiang, please see what this is?" Bao Zheng said, motioning Gongsun Ce to transfer to Zhao Shiquan the book Renzong handed over to him that day.Zhao Shiquan flipped through it casually, and replied: "There is such a thing, why hasn't the truth been mentioned by the Holy Majesty?"

"The sage ordered Bao Zheng to intervene in this case. I didn't want to find Changping County. The person under the hall is the leader of the Salt Gang in Changping County. I don't know how to recognize this person." Bao Zheng asked.

"How could the truth know these wilderness people?" Zhao Shiquan replied shaking his head.

"Prime Minister Zhao, you actually say you don't recognize me? How do you explain the person who killed me that day?" Yan Zhengcheng raised his head and said angrily.

"Master Bao, he is such a false accusation of the truth, he is not ready to serve him with punishment." Zhao Shiquan stood up, pointing at Yan Zhengcheng with trembling fingers.

"Master Ji doesn't need to be so excited, this case is still unclear, and I will wait for my government to interrogate it. Yan Zhengcheng, my government asks you, you can admit the matter of killing Lu Ping, Xin Wu and private salt." Bao Zheng asked.

"The sale of private salt was instigated by grassroots people, and the deaths of Lu Ping and Xin Wu have nothing to do with grassroots people." Yan Zhengcheng said flickeringly.

"It really has nothing to do with you?"

"The grassroots are just being manipulated to do things, and they don't know anything else."

"Then the person you mentioned is in the government office at this moment."

"That's him!" Yan Zhengcheng pointed at Zhao Shiquan and said.

"How could the truth be with you? Presumptuous!" Zhao Shiquan shook his sleeves, sat back on his seat, panting heavily.

Bao Zheng looked at Zhang Long and Zhao Hu who came in from outside the hall, stroked their long beards and said: "Mr. Gongsun, it seems that they have returned."

"En." Gongsun Ce showed a smile on his bookish face.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu approached the table, clasped their fists together and said, "My lord, Changping County Yamen Master Ping Yuan is asking to see you."

"Biography." Bao Zheng replied.

Not long after, Ping Yuan came in with his assistant, explained the autopsy of the day one by one, and handed the silver needle wrapped in Supa to Zhang and Zhao, and presented it to Bao Zheng.Seeing this, Yan Zhengcheng was speechless for a while, so he had to admit the crime, but claimed that Xin Wu's death had nothing to do with him.Just at this moment, in Xin Wenjin's hall, he looked down at Yan Zhengcheng, without the respect that he had followed him back then, instead he knelt down on the ground with his hands clasped, and said, "My lord, please avenge my younger brother's grievances." .”

"Yes, that's right, your brother died at the hands of Bai Yutang, you should seek revenge from him." Yan Zhengcheng had to make a last-ditch effort.

"The silver needle you recognized just now is not from Lu Gangzhu's skull, but taken from Wudi's vest. What excuse do you have?" As soon as Xin Wen said this, Yan Zhengcheng was speechless and sat slumped on the ground.Then Xin Wen took out a few letters from his sleeve and handed them to Bao Zheng: "These letters are the letters that the Salt Gang has communicated with Ji for several years, and all the things mentioned above are related to the sale of illegal salt. Lord Bao please check it out."

"Didn't you burn it down for so many years?" Yan Zhengcheng asked.

"After all these years, why have you ever fully believed in me?" Xin Wen replied.

"Okay, okay, it's a good thing that I brought out the person, he really looks like me, haha." Yan Zhengcheng smiled with a bit of desolation, turned his head suddenly, turned the corner of his mouth, looked at Zhao Shiquan sternly and said: "Jiangxiang, You and I have calculated thousands of times, but in the end it will be destroyed in our own hands, admit it."

Bao Zheng read the letter, gave a pat on the gavel, and shouted: "Minister Zhao Shiquan secretly conspired with the salt gang, and he would sacrifice innocent lives for profit. Immediately ask for execution. Yan Zhengcheng will sell private salt first, kill Lu Ping, Xin Wu With the empress, the crime is unforgivable, and he will be executed immediately. Dynasty, Ma Han, the dragon-headed guillotine, and the dog-headed guillotine will serve you."

At this moment, the big case that alarmed Long Yan had already settled down, and on a sandy beach by the East Sea, a man in white was staggering towards the beach with a woman in plain clothes in his arms.Next to the man was a woman in a light blue dress, who stretched out her hand to help the man who was about to fall, but the man lost his strength for a while and knelt down on the sandy stone that had been scorched by the sun. The man didn't care about his lap The pain of being burned by the sand, on the contrary, he hugged the woman in his arms even tighter, for fear of hurting her.The woman in her arms was awakened by the shock, slightly opened a pair of almond eyes, noted the man's sweat-soaked face, raised her arms to wipe the man's handsome face, and said softly: "Yutang, are you tired? Hong'er can already hear the sound of sea water, let's not go any further."

"Hong'er, Yutang is not tired, you can still go." Before the words finished, Bai Yutang forced himself to stand up, and Zhao Qingxue, who was beside him, looked at his knees that were still soaked with blood, couldn't help shaking his head and burst into tears.

Since leaving Luanshigang that day, Bai Su has called each other like this. Although he knows that there are not many days to meet, but only after waking up every day, the faint smile when the two look at each other is enough to make Su Hong feel happy. Feel satisfied.Over the past few days, Bai Yutang and Zhao Qingxue used their kung fu to protect Su Hong's heart every day, so that it can sustain until now, but both Bai Yutang and Zhao Qingxue knew that this method was futile.

By the sea, Bai Yutang put Su Hong down, and Zhao Qingxue took Su Hong's hand, making her palm above the water surface, and the warm sea water floated over the jade palm, Su Hong pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Thank you, Xue'er, I will help you in the future." I will trouble you to take care of the master." Zhao Qingxue nodded, and when she turned around with her face covered, tears were streaming down her face.

The sea water fluctuates with the wind, and occasionally a spray rolls over and hits the shore, and the splashed water falls on the faces of Bai and Su.Water droplets fell on Bai Yutang's wet silk, which slid down and wet Su Hong's eyelashes.Su Hong looked at Bai Yutang with water in his eyes, raised his hand tremblingly, and slid his fingertips towards Bai Yutang's peachy eyes that were eclipsed by crying. Like a child, cough—cough." Before he finished speaking, he withdrew his hand and put it on his chest, and after a violent cough, a puddle of blood poured out.

Bai Yutang lowered his head, put his face close to Su Hong's, and called out softly, "Then do you like this child?"

"Hi——happiness." Su Hong's voice was slightly erratic, and her breathing became more and more uneven, but she squeezed out a few words from her throat: "Yutang, in this life... Hong'er... can know you, It's already...it's already..."

"No regrets." Bai Yutang frowned and answered Su Hong's words, Su Hong slowly closed her eyes, and that white hand slid down her side.No matter how Bai Yutang called her, she would never open it again.Bai Yutang looked up to the sky and shouted, his shrill voice echoed on the sea.

Then Zhao Qingxue returned to the mountain alone, and she didn't know who to tell the endless pain in her heart along the way, only the happy days along the way lingered in her heart, which was her comfort.Bai Yutang took Su Hong back to an island not far from Sunken Island, placed her body in an ice coffin, and would come to worship her every festival and death sacrifice.

Time flies, and a year has passed.Although Zhan Zhao cared about his family, he had no time to return to his hometown because of the case.In the Changzhou Zhanfu, Zhan Yingchen, who had been waiting for his brother for a long time, finally moved Zhan Xiaying, and the two set off for the capital. Along the way, Zhan Yingchen, who was full of childish faces, rode his horse and whipped his whip, and said with a smile: "When we arrive in the capital, I You must first sue the eldest brother for the crime of not raising him."

Zhan Xiaying looked at the little girl who had just turned twenty-eight beside her, and thought to herself: "It seems that the day when I will go home is getting closer and closer." Thinking of this, she whipped the horse's back, and the white horse neighed , running like a gust of wind.
