Passing through Yingchou Gorge, there is a stretch of emerald-like mountains in front of them. As long as they take another step forward, the Xixia soldiers will chase them, but it is difficult to find any trace of the Beggar Gang and others.
Qiao Feng reined in his horse and stopped.
"Gang leader?"
Ma Dayuan and others looked at him in confusion.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came, which immediately alerted several people in the beggar gang.
As a war horse with a tall head, long legs and black fur ran closer, several people could see the face of the person coming.
Ma Dayuan and others had never seen each other before, but Wu Changfeng's expression changed and he hurriedly told everyone the identity of the other party.
Knowing that the person in front of them was the Xixia Yipintang master who had forced the gang leader into a desperate situation, everyone clenched their weapons and prepared for the attack.
"Gang Leader Qiao, I respect you as a hero. Leave the princess and the general here and I will let you go."
Murong Fu said with cold eyes.
"Gang Leader Qiao, the Xixia people are full of tricks, we can't trust them easily!"
Xi Shanhe was injured by the Xixia soldiers, so he naturally hated the Xixia people very much. Thinking that these two people were important figures in Xixia, wouldn't it be too easy for them to let them go like this?
Besides, they have so many people, they can definitely keep these three people.
"What? Gang Leader Qiao wants to betray his promise and become a villain?"
Murong Fu's tone suddenly turned cold, and his face showed murderous intent.
Qiao Feng knew how powerful the opponent was, and he was seriously injured at the moment. Even if he could hold on to the opponent for a while, he could not protect the safety of all the brothers. After pondering for a while, he said: "Qiao Feng has always made a promise, and he will never break his promise! "
Then he glanced at You Tanzhi, who nodded, understanding.
Qiao Feng placed the Helian Iron Tree on the horse on the ground, while You Tanzhi grabbed Princess Yinchuan and threw it towards Murong Fu with a teasing smile on his lips.
Murong Fu stretched out his hand to take Princess Yinchuan's hand, but because her acupoints were pricked, her delicate body fell weakly into his arms.
"This brat!"
Murong Fu cursed secretly in his heart, followed Qiao Feng and others without stopping, and drove away at high speed from here.
First, Princess Yinchuan's acupuncture points were unlocked. The latter's acupuncture points had been sealed for too long and it was difficult to recover for a while, so she needed help.
Murong Fu did not deliberately take advantage of her. After putting the blushing Princess Yinchuan on the horse, he went to untie Helian Tieshu's acupuncture points.
Helian Tieshu's face was very ugly. He thought that today he could have returned with a great victory and captured the leader of the Beggar Clan, but unexpectedly such a change occurred. He really didn't know how to explain it to the emperor and the queen mother.
But now that the matter was over, he couldn't blame all the blame on the princess, so he could only sigh helplessly.
"General Helian, it's all my fault this time..."
Princess Yinchuan was not unaware of what happened. She understood that because of her appearance, she not only made Helian Tieshu difficult, but also let the leader of the Beggar Clan run away, and she felt extremely guilty.
Helian Tieshu said hurriedly: "Princess, there is no need to blame yourself. This is all because the people of the Beggar Clan are too cunning and cunning, and it has nothing to do with the princess!"
"Don't worry, General Helian. When I return to the palace, I will definitely explain the reason to the emperor's brother and the queen mother, and I will not let them punish you."
Princess Yinchuan also knew that the matter was serious and that more than a simple apology would be useful, so she assured him with a very serious expression.
Helian Tieshu thought that given the emperor and the queen mother's love for Princess Yinchuan, if she could help explain it, he would be able to avoid a lot of punishment. He immediately said with some embarrassment: "Then Princess Lao!"
Princess Yinchuan pursed her lips slightly, revealing a sweet smile. For a moment, she was like a bright pearl shining brightly, with a faint air of book between her brows and eyes, which was really extremely beautiful.
Murong Fu stood aside and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Princess Yinchuan naturally noticed Murong Fu's gaze, her pretty face blushed slightly, and she looked at him with a delicate voice and said softly: "And Li Chongfeng, it is really thanks to you this time that General Helian and I are safe and sound. When I return to the palace, I will also report it to the Emperor's brother and the Queen Mother."
Murong Fu smiled humbly, and just when he was about to bow his hands, a flash of surprise suddenly flashed across his face, but it quickly disappeared, and he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Li Yanzong thanked the princess!"
Then the three of them returned to Yingchou Gorge together. Since the only horse was given to Princess Yinchuan, Murong Fu and Helian Tieshu could only rush back on foot. By the time they met with the Xixia Army, it was already dawn.
After seeing that both Helian Tieshu and Princess Yinchuan were safe and sound, everyone in the Xixia Army breathed a sigh of relief and carefully escorted the princess back to the city.
After such a big event happened, Helian Tieshu naturally wanted to go to the palace to apologize to the emperor.
In the main hall.
After learning the cause and effect, Li Qianshun was naturally furious. He called the chief guard of the palace to hold him accountable. He not only dismissed him from his post, but also gave him a heavy fine of fifty bucks and demoted him to a guard at the entrance of the palace. From now on, I'm afraid it's all over.
Although this matter was not directly related to Helian Tieshu, he was fined half a year's salary by Li Qianshun as a warning to others.
And it was only because of Princess Yinchuan's persuasion that he was given a lighter punishment. Otherwise, Helian Tieshu would not have an easy time this time.
After all, who brought the princess back from him?
Of course, Li Qianshun may have wanted to suppress the Queen Mother's gang members, but he also knew that he had no real power at all and could not remove Helian Tieshu from some positions. He could only impose a salary penalty as a punishment.
After solving Helian Tieshu's matter, Li Qian turned his attention to Murong Fu.
"Li Qing did a good job this time. He not only rescued Princess Yinchuan, but also defeated the beggar gang's prestige. I believe that in the future, they will no longer dare to sneak into our Lingzhou City without restraint. It is really a great achievement!"
"Li Qing, are you living in Yipin Hall now?"
Murong Fu bowed in response, his attitude neither arrogant nor impatient.
Li Qianshun said: "In that case, I will give you a hectare of farmland, two houses, a thousand taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, and a thousand pieces of silk. How about it?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
Murong Fu's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect the other party to be so generous, and he immediately showed an expression of being favored but also very frightened.
Li Qianshun smiled and said: "I have always made clear rewards and punishments. By the way, there is also Taoist Master Jiuyi. For his merit in intercepting, I will reward him with a hundred taels of gold!"
When talking about Jiuyi Taoist, Li Qian didn't seem to attach much importance to him. After leaving a casual sentence, he turned around and entered the inner hall.
Originally, Jiuyi Taoist's contribution was indeed considerable, but unfortunately, the elder of the Beggar Clan whom he captured last night was rescued again, so the vain contribution turned into hard work. If not for the other party's years of hard work, For the sake of hard work, Li Qianshun was reluctant to part with the one hundred taels of gold.
