Old Tokyo Dreams (Part 1)

Now she is standing alone in the bushes, surrounded by darkness, the shadows of the trees are whirling, there is the sound of the river flowing in front of her, accompanied by the occasional calls of animals and birds, it is very scary.Fang Ruotian felt scared all of a sudden, and wanted to go back to look for the maidservant, but unexpectedly, there was a sporadic light from the front.

anyone?

Walking a few steps forward, Fang Ruotian heard a few faint hums.

Once this place is visited by people, it feels much safer.She carefully pushed aside the vegetation and looked in the direction of the sound.After a while, I saw a pile of firewood next to the river beach, with fish roasted on it, and the aroma was overflowing.But the person humming a little song is a naked man standing in the stream and taking a bath.

Although she could only vaguely see her back, Fang Ruotian, who was hiding behind the tree, was so ashamed that she covered her eyes.Although his eyes were covered, he still couldn't control his thoughts, thinking over and over of the tall and straight figure he saw just now, the more he thought about it, the more his fingertips showed a gap, and he blushed and wanted to take another sneak peek.

This glance is incredible.

The huge and fit spiritual bird landed on the man's raised left arm with a whistling sound, and rubbed its head affectionately against him.The man's side face looked so free and easy against the blurred firelight, coupled with the mischievous smile on his lips, it was hard not to make Fang Ruotian, a young woman like Fang Ruotian, excited.

"Ah Ye, Ah Ye, why didn't the big fish take the bait, instead it attracted the little fry first."

The people in the river groaned something, Fang Ruotian instinctively wanted to get closer to hear it clearly, but suddenly heard a crash, and the people in the river disappeared like a magic trick.

Fang Ruotian rubbed his eyes, and walked out from behind the tree, but there was no movement in the river except for a few ripples.It was as if the man just now was just a wisp of her dream, which disappeared when the wind blew.

"Strange, where's the person?" Fang Ruotian still didn't believe that the man was just hallucinating, and walked a few steps forward, but suddenly heard a cry from behind.

Yes, the bird!

Just as she was about to turn her head in joy, the aura of a strange man suddenly enveloped her from behind.The arm that followed the trend suddenly crossed her shoulders and wrapped around her neck, and warm breath came from beside her ears.

"Eh? Your body smells so good." The man's voice was a bit ruffian, but it was nice.

Fang Ruotian just stood there, letting the man behind him sniff her with the tip of his nose.She lowered her head and stared at the strong arm surrounding her, feeling her cheeks getting hotter and hotter, almost ripe.

"Ha! I found it! Here it is!" The man shouted happily, and then he grabbed her waist with his left hand, pulled an embroidery pouch from the brocade belt, and found two cold ones from inside. Hibiscus Cake.

It was Fang Ruotian who brought it out from home, because she was afraid that she would go hungry so that she could feed her hunger.Only then did she realize that the other party was referring to the scent of the cake, and pouted her mouth unhappily.

Fang Ruotian wanted to turn her head to look at the man's face, but he stopped her.The man put one hand on the top of her head, as if dealing with a kitten to prevent her from moving around, and with the other hand, he took out a hibiscus pancake from the embroidery bag and ate a couple of mouthfuls happily.

"Let go of me! Who are you? How dare you be so rude to me!" Fang Ruotian gradually became angry when Fang Ruotian saw that he left herself aside and only cared about eating.

Shen Changle wolfed down the last bite of hibiscus cake, and then hiccupped, "The little girl has a lot of temper. I... I am your mountain god grandfather!"

"You're talking nonsense! How can there be a god who is as greedy as you!"

"What's wrong with being greedy? I'm not only greedy, but also lustful. Look at me, I'll snatch you back!" Shen Changle deliberately threatened her, but Fang Ruotian opened his mouth suddenly, as if to bite her arm.He quickly put two fingers close to the opponent's neck, and lightly pinched the third finger in the middle, and the person fell limp in a trance.

Shen Changle squatted down, looked at the fainted person on the ground and smiled.Since this little fish came to your door on its own initiative, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't make use of it?

Thinking of this, he clapped his hands, and the man on the ground hummed a little tune and walked into the woods.

☆, wise plan to lure the crisis

The ugly time has just passed, and it is the most sleepy time of the day.Fan Yanxi rubbed her swollen eyes and yawned hard.He looked around, and most of the clerks who stayed on duty for the night had already fallen asleep lying on the table, and Wei Qingshu also supported his head with one hand, breathing deeply.

Fan Yanxi swallowed, lifted the hem of his clothes and carefully walked around the desk in front of him, then walked towards the door step by step, as quietly as possible.

He was especially nervous when he passed by Wei Qingshu.Seeing that the other party shook his head suddenly, Fan Yanxi was so frightened that he quickly threw himself on the ground.After a long time, I didn't hear any movement, and didn't dare to raise my head, so I climbed out of the Kuge with hands and feet.

After finally arriving at the agreed corner, Fan Yanxi knocked on the wall brick three times according to what was written on the note, and then softly called out, "Green Ribbon Hidden Cloud Collar?"

After a while, a deep voice came from the other side of the wall, "Wujin for deer tires."

"The six ghosts of Huangquan."

"I'm waiting for you to come tonight."

Fan Yanxi sighed, he didn't understand why he was reduced to being a thief, squatting in the corner in the middle of the night and making secret signs with others after he was a straight man of Dali Temple.

"Have you heard the news?" the other party asked straight to the point.

"No...Wei Qingshu doesn't allow anyone to approach the dungeon."

"You don't need to explain the reason to me, I'm only responsible for passing on the result." The man paused, and then added, "The time Si Cheng gave you is only five days."

Five days... It seems that there are only five days left in the half-month deadline that Wei Qingshu gave him at the beginning.

"Then, what if I don't find out within five days?"

"Qingping Division doesn't need incompetent people, I will come back in five days."

"..." The other party seemed to have left, leaving only Fan Yanxi squatting in the corner in a daze.He regained his composure and was about to get up and walk back when he suddenly saw a pair of boots on the ground.

Those boots made his eyelids twitch, and then a familiar voice came from above his head.

"What are you doing here?" Wei Qingshu looked at him coldly, only to see his hands twisted on the hem of his clothes at a loss, like a child who made a mistake and was caught.

"I...I'm going to the toilet." Fan Yanxi never lied, he made up the worst excuse.

"Coincidentally, I'm going to the latrine too, so let's go together." Wei Qingshu stretched out his hand and carried him to the latrine without any explanation, and occupied the two adjacent pits with him.

"Can you turn your head away? I'm not used to people staring at me like that." Fan Yanxi lifted his knees and hesitated.

"They're all men, so what's not to look at?" Wei Qingshu didn't care, and pissed a lot.He immediately tidied up his clothes and trousers, went outside and waited with folded arms, showing no intention of leaving.

"Pee." Seeing that Fan Yanxi hadn't moved, Wei Qingshu turned around impatiently and urged him.

... Then you have to urinate.Fan Yanxi didn't come out to go to the toilet in the first place, and being so frightened by Wei Qingshu, the original urge to urinate disappeared.

After a cup of tea, Fan Yanxi still maintained his original posture standing in the latrine.His legs were already a little sore, but he didn't dare to move a step.Fortunately, Wei Qingshu didn't urge him anymore, but just stood guard at the door as if he had to wait for the truth, or he was waiting for himself to confess the truth.

Just when Fan Yanxi was thinking about why he didn't drink more water before he came out, the rescuers came.

"General..." When the scout who reported the letter found Wei Qingshu in front of the latrine door, his eyes almost fell off. He saw that his general seemed to be guarding a scholar in the latrine, and he looked at the back of the head a few more times in puzzlement. .

"what's up?"

The scout whispered a few words in Wei Qingshu's ear, and then Wei Qingshu walked out quickly, and kept reprimanding the scout as he walked, as if something serious had happened.But no matter what, Fan Yanxi was really relieved when he left.

He might also take advantage of Wei Qingshu's absence to go to the cell to inquire about the news.

Fan Yanxi raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Just as he was holding the door to go out, he heard a shout from a distance, "Fan Yanxi, stand back for me, don't leave if you can't pee."

Then Fan Yanxi saw two soldiers running towards him, one on the left and one on the right at the door of the latrine.

... So he had to stand back again.

Wei Qingshu received news that they had lost Su Mosheng again.

The news made him very angry.He knew that Su Mosheng had a problem, but he still couldn't figure out what to do with him.If it hadn't been for knowing that Zhang Jun intended to use him as a spearman, Wei Qingshu would not have changed his usual impulse and would still be sitting here looking through the files.

This time, Han Shizhong said that Su Mosheng left the washer alone in the middle of the night holding the piano, and went to the eastern suburbs to practice the piano, and he didn't even bring one with him.And just as they followed up into the dense forest in the eastern suburbs and saw Su Mosheng sitting in the forest playing the qin and playing the strings, a group of kingfishers flew out of nowhere and attacked the soldiers as if possessed.

After they chased away the birds, the luthier who was sitting on the ground playing the piano also disappeared.

"Kingfisher?" Wei Qingshu paused when he heard this, and repeated.

There seem to be rumors in Tokyo these days that some spirit bird is causing trouble.Some people had blood-stained bird feathers under their pillows, some heard wails in the middle of the night, and some even said that they were dreamed by spirit birds.In short, there are all kinds of weird things.Wei Qingshu has never believed in these ghosts and gods. He just thinks that the common people are idle and have nothing to do, spreading rumors.

"Those flat-haired beasts are really weird, as if they were bewildered by the sound of Su Mosheng's piano, they came here to help him out." The scout was afraid that Wei Qingshu would blame him, so he made the matter even more mysterious.

"Then look for it, surround the woods and look for it!" Wei Qingshu yelled, rubbing his temples.He was tired and upset for days.

"Yes!"

"Wait..." Something flashed in Wei Qingshu's mind, he slowly put down his hand, and looked back at the scouts following him, "Did that Zhang Zichu also be pecked by some spirit bird a few days ago?" hurt?"

"Okay...it seems so."

Wei Qingshu snorted coldly.It was such a coincidence that the two people related to Jin Mingchi were involved at the same time.He remembered Zhang Jun's reaction when he mentioned Zhang Zichu yesterday, and strode out of the courtyard.

Zhang Jun got the news from Zai Yinzheng that Wei Qingshu personally took the troops to the eastern suburbs, and the target was Su Mosheng.He hurriedly sent spies to follow, but felt uneasy, and finally decided to go and see for himself.

It's just that the sedan chair has already left the East Water Gate, and the spies brought him a new news, saying that Zhang Zichu was ordered to enter the Yuezhao Palace early in the morning, in order to paint the last picture of beauty.

Zhang Zichu happened to injure his arm during his trip to Shangshufu last time, so Zhang Jun didn't see him painting with his own eyes. This time, it may be the last chance.

"Stop the sedan chair, turn around and go to the forbidden area." Zhang Jun thought for a moment, then gave an order to the bearer.The green wool warm sedan turned a corner and headed towards the city again.

When Zhang Jun hurried to the Moonlight Palace, the sun just illuminated the roof beast on the top of Xieshan Mountain, and the leading immortal riding a phoenix shone intoxicatingly in the fragmented sunlight, as if he was about to drive the phoenix west at any time.

"Who? Dare to break into the palace?" The guards guarding the palace stopped Zhang Jun, who was not in official uniform, without hesitation.

Yuezhao Palace is the residence of Zhao Yupan, Emperor Jiade's concubine, not to mention that Zhang Jun came here rashly now, even if he is ordered to enter the palace, a foreign minister like him has to follow the etiquette everywhere. The same reason as intrusion.

But Zhang Jun didn't care about all that at the moment, he knew that person was inside right now.He only needs to take a look while he is painting to know whether this "Zhang Zichu" is real or not.

"My subordinate Qingping Division, Zhang Jun, has an urgent matter to see the Emperor Ji."

The guard frowned, wondering why this guy is so ignorant of the rules.Just as he was about to interrogate, he saw the other party take off a gilt waist card from his waist, on which the words "Xuanhe Zhongmi" were engraved in handsome and thin fonts.

When the guard saw the badge, he was startled, and hurriedly bowed down and bowed down.He recognized that this gold medal was given to Cai Xiang by the government back then, and holders of this medal can enter and leave the palace freely without restriction.Thinking about how glorious it was for Cai Jing to hang this plaque back then, no one in the forbidden palace could stop him.Although the person is no longer in his position, the waist card still works.

"I can go in now." Zhang Jun walked into the palace with a cold face, but just as he walked to the pond corridor, he saw Zhang Zichu walking over with Di Ji talking and laughing.

It seems that he is still a step late.

The son-in-law was not by Di Ji's side at this time, and I heard that the relationship between the two is not very good.Zhang Jun narrowed his eyes, seeing that Di Ji saw him, but turned his head and whispered something next to Zhang Zichu, as if he said something teasing, which made Zhang Zichu look quite embarrassed.

"I said whoever has such face can enter my Yuezhao Palace at will, but I don't want it to be Zhang Sicheng."

"I've been rude, I hope the emperor will forgive me." Zhang Jun bowed and bowed, but glanced at Zhang Zichu who was at the side, "I'm reckless to ask for a meeting, and I only ask for one thing."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"I don't know if I will be lucky enough to see the authentic work of Zhang Dacai?" Zhang Jun asked, staring at the mask on Wang Xize's face.

After hearing this, Di Ji burst out laughing, "You came here in a hurry just to see this painting?"

"Yes." Zhang Jun saw that a row of female envoys behind Di Ji also covered their faces and smiled, but there was no trace of embarrassment on their faces. Nothing could compare to his urgency to verify this person's identity.

If the person in front of him was not Zhang Zichu, then it was obvious that he was the mastermind behind the Jin Mingchi case.

"Zi Chu, Zi Chu, for the sake of Zhang Sicheng's persistence, let him get what he wants."

Wang Xize smiled slightly, stepped forward and said, "Actually, brother Deyuan doesn't have to be so anxious, if you want to see the paintings, just come to my house and find me anytime."

I'm afraid whether you dare to take it out or not is another matter, Zhang Jun thought to himself.He even suspected that he deliberately arranged for 'Zhang Zichu' to hurt his arm last time, in order not to let himself know his identity.

But the last time he visited Shangshu Mansion suddenly, even Fang Wenjing was taken aback. If the other party really knew about his movements in advance, it would mean that this opponent should not be underestimated.

Seeing him take out the painting from his arms, Zhang Jun secretly held his breath.

He reached out to take the painting, slowly unfolded the scroll, and a vivid picture of a beauty was displayed in front of him.He could clearly see every stroke and every stroke of ink on it.

This is Zhang Zichu's handwriting, there is nothing wrong with it.

Zhang Jun raised his head in surprise to look at the cold mask, then lowered his head to confirm again and again.How can it be? !The previous wanted painting is clearly not the authentic work of Zhang Zichu. So, he asked someone else to draw that painting for him?But why?

"Is Zhang Sicheng finished admiring it?" Wang Xize showed a triumphant smile under the mask.This painting was indeed painted by Zhang Zichu, but it was painted half a year ago.

Zhang Zichu never painted women, and this one is little known.If Feng Youlun hadn't told him that Zhang Jun asked Fan Yanxi for questioning, he would not have known that the other party had actually seen the flaw in his painting.

Wang Xize thinks that Zhang Zichu's handwriting is not very similar, but at least he has some points.How much does it take to pay attention to one person to see the subtle differences?

In any case, knowing this, he came up with the plan.Wang Xize told Di Ji that he was short of the last painting in front of the palace, but he injured his arm at this critical moment.So he begged Di Ji to show him the painting from half a year ago, and keep this secret for him.

"Is this painting Zhang Hanlin just painted for Di Ji? Is the injury on his arm all right?" Zhang Jun asked unwillingly.

"It still hurts, but I can bear it." Wang Xize smiled and rolled up his sleeves, shaking his bandage-wrapped forearm.

"What does Zhang Sicheng mean by this? Could it be that he suspected that Zhang Hanlin and I were cheating together to fool the officials?" Diji's question made Zhang Jun regain his sobriety in an instant.

"...How dare you." He bowed and returned the painting with a stiff face.Seeing him like this, Wang Xize added fuel to the fire by pretending to be modest and said a few words about the shortcomings of the painting.

After Wang Xize's soft words and Zhang Jun's cold eyes watching, the two quickly bid farewell to Di Ji.Zhao Yupan ordered people to send them out of Yuezhao Palace, but he stood there looking at the back of "Zhang Zichu" for a long time.

"Why did Di Ji take the risk to help him?" the female envoy next to her asked in confusion.

"I owe him. Don't you think he's becoming more and more like a person?"

"What Diji said was..."

"Hush—" Di Ji prevented the other party from saying that person's name.She slowly lowered her finger and sighed, "It's been six years, if that person is still here, it would be great."

☆, Prosperity and decline repeatedly hold the hook

"Hurry up, let them go faster!" Fang Wenjing couldn't sit still in the carriage. While urging the coachman outside, he kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with a sweat towel.

The maid came to report at three o'clock last night, saying that Fang Ruotian was lost in the forest in the eastern suburbs. Fang Wenjing hurriedly sent someone to look for her overnight, but there was no news of her until now. How could he not be in a hurry.

"drive--"

The wheels turned sharply, but the sound of horseshoes was suddenly heard outside the car. Fang Wenjing subconsciously poked her head out, only to see a row of light horses speeding past, and the leader immediately took the lead.

Fang Wenjing took a closer look, amazing!Isn't that Wei Yuan's nephew Wei Qingshu?Why is he here!

Fang Wenjing's fingertips trembled, and she quickly lowered the car curtain to cover herself.The thoughts in his mind turned quickly, and his years of experience in officialdom made him react quickly.

In the past few days, Zhou Quan led people around in the woods to track down the whereabouts of those hunters and the so-called divine birds. If Wei Qingshu caught him...no, someone might be setting him up.

"Stop!" Fang Wenjing stopped the carriage, summoned the servant in front of the carriage, and hastily listened to him, "Hurry up and take a few people and go to the forest to find Zhou Quan and them. Once you find someone, let them go back to the city immediately." Go, don't stay any longer."

"Eh."

Si'er responded, and was about to go, but was stopped by Fang Wenjing, "Wait, it's better not to go to Zhou Quan, he might divide several groups of people in this forest, and he will be in this forest for a while. It's also hard to find. You go to the right patrol courtyard and invite me the envoy of the Lu courtyard, saying that Tian'er was lost in this forest, and I want him to bring someone to help find it."

"Okay, my lord."

After explaining all this, Fang Wenjing returned to the car and reluctantly sat down.He thought over and over what had happened these days, and the more he thought about it, the more inappropriate he felt.

When Zhou Quan arrived in the forest in the eastern suburbs, he naturally would not let go of the opportunity to catch Cui.Since Chen Chong and others went on strike, the supply of green feathers in Baodexuan has been in short supply. If he catches birds in the forest with great fanfare, it will be troublesome.

Wei Qingshu, Wei Qingshu, don't meddle in your own business.Fang Wenjing prayed in his heart, but he understood that with Wei Qingshu's arrogant and reckless temperament, how could he not cause some troubles.

Fang Wenjing rubbed her fingertips and pondered for a long time.He should have gone home now, away from the right and wrong place, but his daughter is still not found in this forest.

"Master, shall we continue to move forward?" The groom outside the carriage asked after not hearing the order for a long time.

"Okay!" Fang Wenjing gritted her teeth and said.He wants to see who is behind all these strange things.

Wei Qingshu came all the way on horseback, but there was no sign of Su Mosheng.

"Is this where people get lost?" Wei Qingshu frowned as he looked at the narrow and rugged mountain road in front of him.I'm afraid the horses will not be able to pass the road ahead, so they have to walk.

In a blink of an eye, he thought again that the mountain road meanders for at least a dozen miles. Even Orion, who is familiar with this place, must have spent a lot of effort. Isn't it strange that Su Mosheng, a scholar, came here to practice the piano alone?

"Get off the horse and search forward." Wei Qing pointed at the horsewhip, but suddenly heard a bird song above his head, and when he raised his eyes, a small kingfisher was standing on a branch, tilting its head and looking at him.

kingfisher?

Wei Qingshu narrowed his eyes vigilantly, and stared at the bird for a moment.I don't know if Wei Qingshu's eyes were too frightening, but the bird croaked again before spreading its wings and flying out.

Wei Qingshu didn't intend to pay attention to it at first, but the bird didn't know what was wrong, it flew around, then turned back suddenly, and landed on his horse's head.

After this stop, Wei Qingshu could clearly see movements in all directions.

Among the high and low branches, there are dozens of lovely blue-green creatures, which seem to form an encirclement net invisibly, keeping them under surveillance.

Wei Qingshu looked around carefully again, but saw no one.He only noticed that although the kingfishers in front of him seemed to be ignorant, none of them fluttered away. They seemed to be waiting for some order, and they all looked forward to it.

I heard that Su Mosheng's piano sound can make these birds bow their heads and surrender, could it be that he is behind the manipulation?Wei Qingshu couldn't help thinking.

It's a pity that before the luthier's singing came, the kingfisher on the horse's head suddenly flew into the air with a loud bird's cry, and the other birds also got instructions and headed towards the dense forest in a clear direction. Fly to the depths.

A group of kingfishers gallop past the top of the head, with solemn feathers, as beautiful as hanging down.Even the soldiers who had always been disciplined were momentarily forgetful, and started whispering to each other.

"Follow this group of birds." Wei Qingshu quickly got off his horse, looked up and followed.

Covered by the canopy of the tree, among the layers of broad leaves, a figure suddenly hung upside down. Seeing that Wei Qingshu was hooked, he exhaled heavily and turned over and fell to the ground.

The young man in a jersey went straight to the horse temporarily tied by Wei Qingshu, and patted the horse's neck with his hand.The name of this horse is Yewu, its body is black and white, its limbs are strong, its hair is shiny, it looks like the best horse.

It stands to reason that generally the better the horse, the more sexual it is, but this horse was touched by Shen Changle for a while, but it didn't show any resistance, instead it rubbed against his palm affectionately.

Shen Changle also liked the horse very much, and smiled and fed it some grass.Turning his head, he saw another kingfisher hiding in the branches and leaves at the back, so he put his two fingers under his tongue again, imitating the kingfisher's voice, and let out a cry.

The kingfisher raised its head, seemed to think for a moment, and then slowly flew to Shen Changle's shoulder.

Shen Changle nodded its head in satisfaction, pointed to the front, and whistled again, before it flew in that direction.Kingfisher is not as human as Ah Ye, but he has finally achieved some results in these days of repeated training, which is enough.

On the other end, there was another person who was more nervous than anyone else.

"Slow down, slow down, don't disturb them." Zhou Quan held his breath as much as possible, staring at the flock of birds resting on the river beach not far away.

He clearly saw that in the center of these kingfishers, a strange bird the size of an adult's arm was flapping its wings, pecking some fish and shrimps in the stream to eat.Compared with other kingfishers, this one is not only majestic, but also spiritual. Its soft feathers are colorful, which makes people lose their minds.

This is the spirit bird I saw in the city last time, and it was the one that pecked Zhang Zichu.

Zhou Quan stared at it with bright eyes, as if he had already seen the shining gold.Any two green feathers on this bird would probably make him a windfall.

The more he thought about it, Zhou Quan almost couldn't help laughing out loud, he quickly covered his mouth, and with a move of his hand, someone stretched a thin net from behind.

Today, no matter what, we must take down this "God of Wealth".

Zhou Quan cautiously walked forward a few more steps, but saw the spirit bird in the middle suddenly turned around and glanced at them warily.

The spirit bird chirped, the sound was different from the common kingfisher, it sounded like an eagle's chirping.It's just that its call sounded like a warning, which made all the other kingfishers alert and scrambled to fly.

"Zhang net, don't let any of them slip away!" Zhou Quan yelled loudly, but it was already too late.Led by the spirit bird there, all the birds lowered their bodies together, like an emerald blue floating blanket, fluttering out from under the big net that was just set up, and none of them fell.

"Hurry up!" Zhou Quan yelled angrily, raised his knees and waded down the shallows, chasing after the flock of birds.

The guy behind hurriedly raised the net bag in his hand, trying to narrow the encirclement in the air like flying a kite, but there was a Metasequoia forest in front of the clinker river beach.

The arbors grow secluded, the wild water reflects the apples, and the morning mist covers it, making this place a place of spring and beauty, as small as a fairyland.

But the hunter who was chasing the prey in the back didn't have much time to appreciate the scenery.The spirit bird was cunning, and flew into the forest with the flock of birds, nimbly shuttled among the metasequoias, the net bag couldn't keep up, and was caught by the branches after a few moments, and couldn't be pulled off.

There was no other way, Zhou Quan and the others had no choice but to throw away the fine net in their hands, and chase after them.

Zhou Quan took the lead and chased after him relentlessly. He tripped over underwater tree roots several times and staggered, but he never fell down.All the way through the metasequoia forest, I saw a giant pond pine in front of me, at least a hundred years old.Its branches and leaves are luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun, and once the spirit bird leads the flock of birds to fly into it, it is difficult to see the figure.

Zhou Quan walked under the tree and was looking up, but suddenly his feet stepped on the ground and he almost fell down.He lowered his head and saw that behind the pine tree was a patio cave about five feet wide, in which there was a gust of cool air and jagged rocks.Because it is perfectly blocked by trees, it is usually difficult to detect.

What's even more strange is that Zhou Quan soon discovered that there were countless kingfishers living there densely, and the leading spirit bird was also among them.And between the stone walls of the cave, there are countless copper coins, the number of which is jaw-dropping.

"Come here! Here!" Zhou Quan's army patrols shouted.

When everyone gathered around the entrance of the cave to have a look, all of them stared wide-eyed.Before Zhou Quan gave an order, some military patrols could not wait to crawl down, picked up the money and stuffed it into their arms.

Zhou Quan didn't bother with those copper coins.He is different from those poor people who have never seen the world. In his eyes, the money is just small profits, and the kingfishers in the cave are the big ones.

"Go! Bring me that meteor cable." Zhou Quan rolled his eyes, and stretched out a hand to the clerk below.

The so-called meteor rope is a trap with a heavy object dropped on each end of the rope.Hold one end on the top of the head, and then throw it towards the target, the rope will lock the prey firmly like a shooting star.At that time, the bird's wings will be tied, and it will not be able to escape, so it can take down the prey in one fell swoop.This method will not harm the kingfisher, it will destroy the beautiful feathers, which is a common trick used by hunters to catch greenery.

The meteor cable in Zhouquan's hand turned faster and faster, staring intently at the huge spiritual bird under the cave.The bird seemed unaware of the approaching danger, and was still leisurely trimming its wings in the nest.He saw the right moment, let go of his hand suddenly, and saw the shooting star whizzing towards the spirit bird, but it was about to lock its legs, but the bird moved back tactfully. With a flash, it dodged the speeding thing impartially.

As the rope fell to the ground with a thud, the spirit bird made a cooing sound, as if mocking Zhouquan.

"Grandma, catch these flat-haired bastards for me!" Zhou Quan yelled, but the military patrols were only focused on collecting money and ignored him completely.

"Every time I catch a bird, I will give you money!"

It's always money... It's much more refreshing than they pick up copper coins one by one.Whether it was the shop clerk brought by Zhou Quan or the military patrol lent by Lu Mingjie, they all straightened up after hearing this, and rushed towards the little elves in the cave.

The guys know how to measure, but the sergeants don't know that Diancui needs to be captured alive.They went on a rampage, fishing and chasing, some kingfishers had their wings cut off, and some had their heads ripped off.

"Easy! Easy! Catch alive!"

The wings of an injured or dead kingfisher will also lose their luster.Zhouquan looked at the scene of the green feathers flying around in pain, as if he saw the white silver flying away from his purse.

Just as Zhou Quan was laying down at the entrance of the cave and yelling and directing, there was a bright cry from below, and then something rushed out from the entrance of the cave, bringing Zhou Quan to the ground with his ass.

He took a closer look, and it was indeed the spirit bird, and behind it there were groups of kingfishers rushing out of the cave with flapping their wings.

"Catch it!" Zhou Quan yelled.He felt some pain on his cheek, and when he reached out to touch it, there were two bloodstains drawn by the bird's claws.

"Shopkeeper, there is another person at the bottom of the cave!"

There was an exclamation from below, Zhouquan looked down subconsciously, and saw that there seemed to be a papyrus mat that was two people wide in the bottom of the cave that was gradually illuminated by the sun, and a person was lying on the mat.When Zhou Quan slowly descended into the cave with the support of two military guards, he realized that the person lying on top was actually a young girl.The girl's head and body were covered with emerald blue bird feathers, and she lay motionless on the ground.

"Fang...Miss Fang?" Zhou Quan gasped, and looked at the woman in the cave in disbelief, "Hurry up and save her!"

After the army patrol rushed the man to the ground, Zhou Quan stretched out his hand to find out, only to realize that the man had just passed out, and he was relieved.He first sent someone to notify Fang Wenjing, and then looked up to look for the spirit bird again. He soon found that the birds had all perched on the thick pine tree next to the cave, and the spirit bird was also inside.

"Slingshots, meteor ropes, give me a call, and the nets are ready." Zhou Quan gave an order, and everyone crawled out of the rather deep cave and climbed up the towering Chisong.

The projectile rope whizzed towards the dense canopy of the tree, shuttled among the branches, some kingfishers were knocked down, and some were tied by the ropes. Seeing more and more harvests in the net bag, Zhouquan was really happy.

But the only thing that dissatisfied him was the spirit bird.

Zhou Quan asked for a slingshot again and shot a few shots himself.But that bird was like a godsend, no matter how many people called to it, it could easily avoid it.I saw that thing flapped its wings, and actually bounced back the projectile that Zhou Quan shot, hitting his forehead.

"Hey, this beast! Don't worry about the small ones, I'll catch the big ones!" Zhouquan stretched his neck and stared at the Huayu on it.A military patrol on the left wanted to reach out to grab its claws, and the one on the right grabbed its wings at the same time, but as the bird dodged, the two collided and fell under the tree.

"Trash! Go up!"

Fang Wenjing ran into a messenger on the way, saying that Fang Ruotian had found it.He rushed here in a hurry, and saw the farce on the other side from a distance.

Surrounded by the huge pine tree, there are quite a few figures, even across the river beach, you can still see Zhou Quan's fangs and claws.

Fang Wenjing saw those military patrols jumping up and down the trees to catch the kingfishers, and broke into a cold sweat from fright.He thought that Wei Qingshu was holding the Japanese army in the woods at this time, and quickly waved his hands and shouted at the other side, "Stop! Stop it for me!"

It's a pity that the distance was too far, and the people on the other side didn't hear it at all.

"Quick! Go and tell them to stop!" Fang Wenjing sprinted towards the river beach in a hurry, but because she was used to being pampered, she lost her strength after a few steps.

Coincidentally, Zhou Quan turned his head and saw Fang Wenjing on the other side.

"Zhouquan! Stop!" Fang Wenjing kept shaking her hands at him.

Zhou Quan squinted his eyes and saw, isn't this Fang Shangshu?Seeing that the other party was dancing to him, Zhouquan grinned understandingly, nodded, and then pointed to Fang Ruotian who had been set aside and shouted loudly, "Little lady is fine! Why are you here in person?"

"That's not it! I'm telling you to stop!" Fang Wenjing stomped her feet angrily, trying to convey the order with her mouth.

"What did you say?" Zhou Quan put his hands on his ears to listen, but only heard the whistling wind.

"Stop catching those kingfishers! Stop! Stop!" Fang Wenjing
