Brocade tears

"Zhang Yunxiu? Really, you're right?" Zhu Qingpei repeatedly confirmed to Sui'er.

"I will never admit my mistake. I remember his voice deeply, and I will never forget it in my life." Sui'er said firmly.

Zhu Qingpei fell silent immediately, and after a while she lowered her voice and asked in Sui'er's ear:

"You just woke me up, could it be because you found Zhang Yunxiu?"

"No, it's not. I don't know the princess, do you still remember that there was a storm last night, and the only people staying in the hotel were us and Zhang Yunxiu next door. At that time, I didn't know that the person next door was him. When we were on the first floor, the rainstorm came He is a traveler, dressed as a scholar. But I can see that he has kung fu, and has been monitoring the people in the room next to us. Until just now, I guessed that he was Zhang Yunxiu from the voice of the next door. The reason why I called you so nervous I woke up because I was afraid that the person pretending to be a scholar might harm us, I don't know martial arts, and we both have to stay alert."

"I understand. Now that you have confirmed that the next door is Zhang Yunxiu, we are now in trouble." The princess finally cheered up and began to enter the state. She asked:

"What shall we do now?"

Sui'er thought for a moment, and said: "Since we found Zhang Yunxiu, we can't lose his whereabouts. It's best for him not to leave this inn before Meng Kuang and Guo Dayou come back. If he wants to leave, we can't let him go." We must follow up. We must follow behind that fake scholar, and we must ensure that we do not attract the attention of any of them. At that time, we can only leave a note here for Meng Kuang and the others, and then leave marks along the way."

"Are you sure you want to take this risk?" Zhu Qingpei asked.

"Must! Zhang Yunxiu has been missing for almost ten years. No matter how many people search for him, they can't find him. I have been waiting for this opportunity for an unknown amount of time. I have nowhere to find it. Today, it took no effort at all. The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity must not be let go. This risk must be taken." Sui'er did not hesitate.

"Who is that fake scholar who followed him?" The princess frowned, feeling very confused.

"It may be Jin Yiwei. I have been with Meng Kuang for a long time, and I have the ability to distinguish certain inexplicable characteristics of Jin Yiwei. I guess he may be Jin Yiwei, but whether it is Beisi or Nanya, I don't know. But I speculate that he may be from Nanya, because he is very likely to be related to Wang Daoming. Wang Daoming claims to have mastered Zhang Yunxiu's whereabouts, and Zhang Yunxiu's whereabouts should not be known by other forces. Perhaps this person has been following Zhang Yunxiu and passing on news to Wang Daoming."

"That makes sense." The princess nodded, and then she decided to support Sui'er, "Since that's the case, let's make preparations as soon as possible and be ready to follow at any time."

Sui'er and the princess were not very lucky. About half an hour later, Zhang Yunxiu in the next room had already packed up and was ready to go.And the fake scholar downstairs who stayed overnight had already left the restaurant, Sui'er reckoned that he must have ambushed nearby, and after Zhang Yunxiu left, he would continue to stay far behind.And Sui'er and the princess must seize the timing to follow up. If they are impatient, they will be discovered easily, but if they wait too long, they will lose them again.

The two of them packed their luggage, picked up the inn and sat down by the window of the main road outside, and ordered Chaoshi to eat.The view here is the best. While eating, Sui'er pretended to be casually observing the movement outside.Sui'er wrapped her hair and wore a fence to cover her face, Zhang Yunxiu who came down from upstairs really didn't recognize her.

I haven't seen him for nine years. Zhang Yunxiu, a handsome white-faced scholar in the past, has grown a long black beard and tanned skin. He looks thin but capable, and his appearance has changed drastically.But the little black mole hidden between his brows has not changed, nor has the shape of his face and ear pinnae changed. These features made Sui'er, who was secretly observing him, convinced once again that this person is Zhang Yunxiu.He was wearing a bamboo hat, ordinary commoner clothes, leggings, straw sandals, a big bundle with an oil umbrella on his back, and a wooden walking stick in his hand. He looked ordinary. , almost completely unrecognizable in the sea of ​​people.He had already used the food delivered by the store upstairs, and when he came down, he took a bag of dry food from the store and put it in the bag, filled a large pot of water, then went to the stable outside, brought out a donkey, and rode Get on the donkey and set off.

Sui'er and Zhu Qingpei's attention immediately fell on his leaving back until he disappeared at the end of the road outside the restaurant. The horse actually went around to the other side of the road from behind to observe carefully.Sure enough, she saw a figure emerging from the jungle next to the restaurant, and that person strode towards the direction where Zhang Yunxiu disappeared just now.

Zhu Qingpei hurried back to the restaurant and waved to Sui'er.Sui'er immediately got up, went to the counter of the restaurant, slapped the hotel money and meal money on the counter, and threw a folded letter paper sealed with wax to the restaurant owner, asking him to hand it to Meng who came back. Kuang and others.Immediately, she and Zhu Qingpei left the restaurant, Zhu Qingpei took out her horse from the stable, took Sui'er on the horse and rode together, and chased in the direction where Zhang Yunxiu left.

……

In Kowloon Bay, the flames were overwhelming.The burning sea ship failed to sail out of the bay and was abandoned.Some Japanese pirates who rebelled boarded two sea ships and fled by boat.The rest of the people waited to fight each other, and they were either killed or injured in an instant. Almost all of the 600 people lost their fighting ability, and many people fled to the outside of the bay.

But many people ran halfway, but they were immediately blocked by the officers and soldiers who came after hearing the news, and they were directly taken down.Before that, Qiu Bai had reported the incident in Jiulong Bay to the Pinghu County Government and Jiaxing Mansion. The Jiaxing prefect felt that the matter was of great importance, so he wanted to report it to Chang Jujing, governor of Zhejiang Province, and asked the magistrate of Pinghu County to be more vigilant and lay an ambush on the periphery of Jiulong Mountain. Troops for emergencies.

In the early hours of the morning, there was a loud explosion in Kowloon Bay, and then there was a big explosion, and the flames shot into the sky.The officers and soldiers on the periphery were shocked immediately, and rushed to Jiulong Mountain immediately.On the way, I bumped into many Japanese pirates who had fled in a hurry. There were Japanese and wise people, and no matter who they were, they were taken down immediately.

When the officers and soldiers rushed to Kowloon Bay, what they saw were two drenched brocade guards and a capable young man. A Japanese man who had lost an arm was bound beside him, and a man with a dagger tied to his right shoulder was lying down. A pussy man whimpering on the ground.The beach behind them was full of Japanese pirates staggering around, dead and wounded. On the surface of the bay in the distance, a large ship was burning and almost sank, and several ships were abandoned on the sea.

"What's going on?" The leading officer stepped forward and asked.

Guo Dayou grinned and said, "Accidentally, I destroyed a Japanese pirate's arms smuggling stronghold."

The officer opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a while.

About an hour later, Guo Dayou, Meng Kuang, and Qiu Bai, who had finished handing over to the officers, left Jiulong Mountain and returned to the restaurant at the foot of the mountain where they left yesterday afternoon.Guo Dayou handed over the wounded Shimadzu Suijiu and Shen Zhe to the officer and took them back to the Pinghu County Government Prison for detention. Most of the remaining Japanese pirates were captured by the officers and escorted back to the barracks, where they were temporarily managed as prisoners of war.

The mess was handed over to the officers and soldiers to clean up, Meng Kuang cared about Sui'er, and wanted to go back to see Sui'er as soon as possible.As it was inconvenient for Li Laosan to show up, before the officers and soldiers arrived, he boarded the small fishing boat outside to pick him up, and followed his old comrade-in-arms' son to a nearby fishing village.Meng Kuang and Guo Dayou were not worried about him escaping, he would definitely come back to look for them, this time he assisted Meng Kuang in catching Shen Zhe, and the matter of Ten Thousand Beasts and Hundred Flowers should be put on the agenda.

Guo Dayou is in a good mood. Meng Kuang has made great contributions this time, and he has successfully completed the task, and he can finally get a job.Therefore, although he was in a mess, sore and tired, his steps were still brisk.And Meng Kuang didn't look like a person who had been fighting all night. She couldn't wait to run back, and when she arrived at the door of the restaurant, she rushed in and went upstairs.For some reason, she missed Sui Er so much, she really wanted to see her right away, even ignoring the restaurant owner's voice calling her from behind.

In the end, when she went upstairs, she saw two empty guest rooms. Sui'er had gone somewhere, and she didn't even leave her luggage behind.

She was stunned for a moment, then ran down in a hurry, and saw Guo Dayou holding a letter in front of the counter, and on the counter were their luggage that had been stored in the guest room.

"Thirteen, Sui'er and the others left and left us a letter." Guo Dayou said helplessly.

Meng Kuang rushed forward, snatched the letter from Guo Dayou's hand, unwrapped the wax seal and read:

【We found out that the guest in the next room was Zhang Yunxiu, and there was a suspected Jinyi guard posing as a distant scholar following him, or someone who provided clues to Wang Daoming.Now we have followed, leaving red silk marks along the way, and come as soon as possible.Sui stay. 】

She threw the letter to Guo Dayou and Qiu Bai. At this moment, she only felt the buzzing in her head and the blood was rushing up.God, does Sui know what she's doing?She actually stalked Zhang Yunxiu, and she already had a stalker.She has no experience, so she put herself in danger like this.

She scratched the top of her hair that was already messed up, turned around and walked out, going to the stable to lead the horse.Guo Dayou immediately stopped her:

"Meng Shisan, come back to me!"

Meng Kuang didn't listen, Guo Dayou grabbed her and said coldly: "It's useless to be anxious, how long have you been gone? Even if we are in a hurry, we don't have to be in a hurry. Look at yourself now It looks like disheveled hair, torn clothes, and so many abrasions. You should clean yourself first. We have been outside for so long, and we have hardly eaten anything. How can you track it down if you are not in a good state? How can you help Sui? Son?"

Meng Kuang gritted her teeth. She knew that Guo Dayou was right. Now that she was in this state, she had no way to track Sui Er. Instead, she would attract more attention because of her embarrassment.She didn't talk nonsense, turned around and went to the back kitchen of the restaurant, fetched water to boil, and then borrowed the bathtub in the guest room of the restaurant to bathe clean, and made a simple bandage for her wound.There was a large bruise on her left arm, but fortunately no bone was injured.Her back was scratched, and her hands and feet were scratched to varying degrees, but none of these affected her movements.Because she had been wet for too long, she was already showing signs of catching cold, so after taking a scalding hot bath, she finally recovered.After taking a bath, she changed into a brand new set of round-neck military uniform of navy blue brocade.Then she replaced the mask strap that she was about to break off, cleaned up her armed leather belt and the soaked weapon leather bag, and counted the hidden weapons she was still holding.

Part of the blade on one side of the Teng Dao was curled, and she had no time to repair it for the time being.She had already retrieved the dagger from Shen Zhe's back, but the dagger was too sharp to be used, so she could only stuff it into the package and find a chance to go to the blacksmith's to melt it down and make it again.

After doing all this, she glanced at the clock, and the current time is the [-]th of June in the morning.Sui'er left at about the right time, before dawn.

She went downstairs in a hurry, the owner of the restaurant had already prepared hot morning food for them, Guo Dayou and Qiu Bai had already packed up and were eating.She went over to sit down immediately, gobbled it up, and sent the food into her stomach.Then the three of them took dry food and quickly went to the stables to lead the horses.Because only two of the three horses they rode before were left, Guo Dayou had to ride a horse with Qiu Bai, because they knew that Meng Kuang was a woman, and they were embarrassed to ride with her.

Meng Kuang didn't care so much, he rode his horse and rushed out, leaving Guo Dayou and Qiu Bai behind.
