There are tangible things that are not tiring, and there are no traces left to follow the wind. ——Tang Jiaoran's "Five Miscellaneous Odes of Nanchi? Xiyun"
It is said that Zhang Ning, the Yellow Turban Saint, was in the guest room of Anling Inn, waiting for a long time for Li Le to reply, and it was getting dark outside. Zhang Ning frowned, feeling unhappy. He hurriedly packed up, called the guard captain Ma Yuanyi, who was disguised as a coachman, and drove away in the carriage after paying the bill. Not long after he left, a group of government officials quickly surrounded the inn. Someone drove a carriage and stopped in front of the inn. He raised the curtain and Huang Gai dragged down the bruised Li Le. Only his legs were tied up. He was able to move and stumbled into the inn. When the guys in the inn saw the boss being tied up by Huang Gai, they were so frightened that they squatted on the ground and huddled up. Huang Gai asked his men to arrest them all and take them back for interrogation.
It turned out that after Li Le was arrested by Huang Gai, he was quite tough at first. After being beaten several times by Huang Gai with a mace, he actually did not let go. Finally, Huang Gai took out a dagger and wanted to cut off Li Le's tool. Li Le gave up, but only admitted that he was ordered by a female guest to send a message to the Xiaoxiang gang leader. As for being an undercover agent of the Yellow Turbans, he would not admit it even if he was killed. .
Huang Gai thought to himself, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not, you have to quickly arrest the witch giving orders in the inn. As for Yang Huai, you can only let Mr. Liu Xian come forward and use the garrison to control the Xiaoxiang Gang. While letting people go to the inn to keep an eye on him, he hurried to the county government to find Liu Xian and told him about the progress. Liu Xian suddenly stepped back and shouted with a smile: "Third brother!" Huang Gai was stunned for a moment, then understood and couldn't help but be overjoyed. He bowed his hands and said: "Is the young master the eldest brother or the second brother?" Liu Xian helped Huang Gai up and said with a smile: "Wenlong is the eldest brother. Third brother, thank you for your kindness. Please take the Yamen to surround the inn first. I will go back to the house and talk to you immediately." Brother, let’s discuss it.”
While Huang Gai led the government officials to surround the inn, Liu Xian and Chen Long were discussing how to deal with the Xiaoxiang Gang, and Zhang Ning asked Ma Yuanyi to quietly go to the county government. Ma Yuanyi sat in the teahouse opposite the county mansion and gave the waiter a large piece of silver. He only said that he was a businessman from out of town and wanted to invite General Xing Daorong to tea. He asked the waiter to find a way to give the money to the guard and let him report it. With a sound, he handed another ingot of silver to the waiter. The waiter's eyes widened when he saw the money. This teahouse was facing the county government, and big businessmen often met privately with officials here. The waiter had long been familiar with doing these things.
Xing Daorong was leading a patrol outside Liu Du's office when suddenly a guard soldier came over and mysteriously reported that someone was waiting for him at the teahouse opposite. After dismissing the soldiers, Xing Daorong ordered his men to watch carefully before he walked into the teahouse. The waiter caught a glimpse and shouted: "General Xing, I'll give you a private room upstairs!"
Ma Yuanyi heard it and knew that Xing Daorong was coming, so he stood up quickly. Xing Daorong stepped into the room, and Ma Yuanyi told the waiter not to wait. Then he closed the door, bowed and showed a courtesy unique to the Yellow Turban Army, and said: "Ma Yuanyi has seen the second guardian."
It turned out that Xing Daorong not only colluded with the Yellow Turbans, but had already surrendered to the Yellow Turbans. He was also named the second protector of the Jingzhou Yellow Turbans by the great sage Zhang Jiao. As soon as the Yellow Turban army gathered, they cooperated internally and externally to capture Lingling. Xing Daorong whispered: "Has the date for the siege been determined?" Ma Yuanyi said: "The Holy Lady said that a large-scale attack on the city will be carried out in these days. General Xing can act cheaply at that time. As long as the North Gate can be captured, I will wait for the army to enter the city. Conquering Lingling is just around the corner."
Xing Daorong nodded slightly. He secretly defected to the Yellow Turban that day. Zhang Mancheng, the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou Daqu, promised that he would be the master of Lingling after the success. Now, the saint's ingenious plan has first defeated the old enemy Liu Xian. Unfortunately, Chen Long has not been caught yet, but it is estimated that there will be no trouble, and everything is under control. Those hateful old Liu Du and young Liu Xian, one day I can trample them under my feet and ravage them wantonly.
Ma Yuanyi coughed slightly, interrupting Xing Daorong's lust. Ma Yuanyi whispered: "Today, there is something that requires the Second Protector to come forward. The undercover Li Le we installed in the city went to Yang Huai from the Anling Inn today to do something, and he did not come back all day long. For some reason, the saint guessed that he had something He may have been kidnapped, so the saint wants to ask the second protector to pay attention to whether someone from Huang Gai's side has kidnapped Li Le. The general needs to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible. Also, Yang Huai may not be safe anymore. Please ask General Xing to arrange for Yang White leaves with us.”
Xing Daorong was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that both Li Le and Yang Huai had their identities exposed. This really had to be arranged as soon as possible. I am responsible for the internal security of this county. As long as time permits, I can naturally arrange it properly. He stood up and asked: "Captain Ma, where will I find you after I make arrangements?" Ma Yuanyi gave an address, and Xing Daorong handed over and left the teahouse directly.
Let's talk about Liu Xian. He went back to the secret room to meet Chen Long and told him about Li Le's capture and Li Le's confession about the collusion between the female guest and Yang Huai. Chen Long frowned slightly and said: "Second brother, I think the third brother has been interrogating Li Le for so long. The female guest must have guessed that something was wrong with Li Le and must have escaped. Third brother's trip is probably in vain. And we're back." Liu Xiandao: "Then shall I arrest Yang Huai immediately?"
Chen Long pulled Liu Xian to sit down, sorted out his chaotic thoughts, and a bold plan came to mind. Asked Liu Xiandao: "Second brother, do you have a map?" Liu Xian pulled out a thick piece of silk from the bookshelf and opened it to reveal a map of Lingling's mountains and rivers.
Chen Long studied for a while, struck each other with his hands, and said to himself: "It should be possible." Liu Xian hurriedly asked Chen Long what he could do. Chen Long said slowly: "Second brother, who is guarding the North City Gate today?" "Liu was arrested first, and now the North City guard is Liu Min. However, the city gates have been closed at this time, and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
"That is to say, if we are lucky, the female guest left late and should not have left the city yet." Chen Long's starry eyes lit up, his brain was running rapidly, and the corners of his beautiful mouth were curved and drooped: "Second brother, you go back to the county immediately. You just need to act like this." Liu Xian listened with understanding and kept nodding. Finally, Chen Long asked Liu Xian to take a set of government officials' clothes and sneaked out of the Gongzi Mansion disguised as Liu Xian's bodyguard. After coming out, Liu Xian went straight to the county government and Chen Long went straight to Anling Inn.
Due to Li Le's arrest, all parties were running at high speed, racing against time to gain a favorable situation. Let’s talk about Chen Long first. He disguised himself as a government servant and arrived at the inn. Huang Gai had already searched the inn but found nothing. When he saw Chen Long coming, he led Chen Long into Zhang Ning’s room. Chen Long inspected it carefully and found nothing. He only found a women's sweat towel at the foot of the bed. There was a faint body fragrance. Chen Long picked it up and smelled it again and again, and finally put it in his arms. Huang Gai in the back saw a black line, and he didn't expect that his eldest brother still had this hobby.
Besides, Xing Daorong, after coming out of the teahouse, immediately mobilized a team of people and personally led the team to Anling Inn. After Huang Gaizheng and Chen Long inspected the scene, they heard the brothers below shouting that General Xing had arrived and hurried downstairs. Chen Long slipped out through the back door without mentioning it. Xing Daorong looked at Huang Gai and said: "Gongfu, I heard that you arrested the Yellow Turban. I am responsible for the security of this city. Please hand over the prisoner to me." Huang Gai was shocked, but he had no reason not to hand over the goods, so he had to hand over the goods. He thought that with Yang Huai as a clue, Li Le wouldn't be of much use.
In the county mansion, Liu Xian had arrived at Liu Du's study and reported the entire incident to Liu Du. Liu Du was shocked and suspicious when he heard that Yang Huai was related to the incident. Just after he finished speaking, Xing Daorong walked in excitedly and said that he had caught a spy of the Yellow Turbans. The spy had resisted arrest and had been shot dead. Liu Xian smiled and said: "Congratulations to General Xing. I told my father just now that Huang Gongfu also caught a spy in Anling Inn today and confessed that the Yellow Turban spy had colluded with Xiaoxiang Gang leader Yang Huai. This matter will be more troublesome. General Xing dealt with it quickly, captured Yang Huai and brought him to justice, and at the same time controlled the Xiaoxiang gang to prevent them from causing trouble."
Xing Daorong pretended to be surprised and said: "Master, just now a certain person took the prisoner from Huang Gongfu, but on the way, this person injured the guarding soldier and tried to jump into the river to escape. I shot him to death with an arrow. Unexpectedly, Yang Huai Ye is related to this matter. I will immediately take people to the headquarters of the Xiaoxiang Gang to arrest Yang Huai. Please also ask the eunuch to give instructions." Liu Du's fat cheeks kept shaking, showing his determination, and signaled Xing Daorong to take action immediately. Xing Daorong heard this, Mentioned the troops and horses.
Let's talk about Chen Long. He walked out of the back door of Anling Inn and went straight to Liu Yong's Mansion in the south of the city. It turns out that General Liu Yong, one of the four kings responsible for guarding the southern city gate, is about the same age as Liu Xian and is a serious young man. In fact, he controls the power of Liu Xian's direct line, and only obeys Liu Xian's orders. Liu Yong had already received Liu Xian's letter and had made preparations. When he heard someone was looking for him, he knew that Chen Long had arrived, so he came out to greet him in the study in person. Chen Long saw that Liu Yong had a face like a crown jade, sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, a slender waist and a long back. He was very enthusiastic and sophisticated in dealing with others. He wore a hero's gallbladder on his head. He waved it three times with each step, and he was indeed very handsome, young and mature. Chen Long didn't show any politeness, put on the military uniform prepared by Liu Yong, and transformed into Liu Yong's guard. The two of them took more than a dozen direct lineage masters and sneaked out of the south city gate.
Besides, Xing Daorong waited all the way and finally reached the Xiaoxiang headquarters. The soldiers shouted and rushed into the Xiaoxiang headquarters. Where can I find Yang Huai? He caught a few unrelated small fish and shrimps such as the Xiaoxiang Gang leader, ordered people to block the nearby waterways, and went directly back to the City Lord's Mansion to resume his life.
Chen Long and Liu Xian asked Xing Daorong to arrest Yang Huai. Firstly, the security in the city could not avoid Xing Daorong's intervention. Secondly, they had other deep intentions, waiting for Xing Daorong to show his fox tail. Sure enough, Xing Daorong had already arranged the route out of the city for Yang Huai, Zhang Ning, and Ma Yuanyi. Now the small boat Yang Huai was riding had already gone north along the Xiang River before Xing Daorong blocked the waterway. Yang Huai lay comfortably on the rocking bed in the cabin. After a while, he passed by the back cave, picked up Ma Yuanyi and that saint, and then went all the way north and escaped smoothly. When the Yellow Turban army conquered Lingling the next day, his brother Xing Daorong became the lord of Lingling. He could also be appointed as the deputy city lord Dangdang. When the time comes, the wind will win and the rain will rain. Thinking of the proud place, Yang Huai couldn't help but Hehehehe laughed heartily.
