Jiang Shuo nodded in agreement after listening to what Li Yong said. Li Yong continued: "The First Emperor should also have discovered the secret of this mirror, but he thought it was not pointing to any place in the world, but to the fairy mountains overseas." Li Yong pointed to the wall. The black spot on the mirror button surrounded by irregular circular lines in the upper light spot said: "The First Emperor believed that this location is the overseas fairy mountain, and the ring-shaped water system surrounding the outside is not a lake but the Wuhu Sea. The central point is the Wuhu Sea. The location of Penglai Immortal Island."
Jiang Shuo studied it carefully for a long time and said, "It doesn't look like the Wuhu Sea, and there are many islands in the Wuhu Sea. With this simple picture, who can know which island the mirror button represents?"
Li Yong said: "Yes, the First Emperor blindly pursued immortality after he became emperor. He saw everything as a guide given to him by a god. But Kong Konger did not have such a preconceived view. He believed that this map did not indicate the illusory overseas fairy mountains. It’s a real treasure trove.”
Jiang Shuo said, "Ah... where is it?"
Li Yong shook his head this time and said, "I don't know about this anymore. It is said that the Thief Saint Kong Kong'er found this treasure hiding place, but he did not tell the successor Thief Leader where the treasure was. He only talked about the treasure map. It was true, and the Dongting Bandit Leaders of all dynasties were told to strictly keep this secret. Later, the Dongting Gang became the Five Lakes League, and the Bandit Leader was replaced by the leader of the Jianghu League. The successive leaders used this mirror as a token, but no one anymore We can solve the mystery of this treasure location."
Jiang Shuo sighed and said, "I don't want to find any treasure either."
Li Yong smiled tolerantly. He pressed Jiang Shuo's hand, indicating that he could put down the bronze mirror. He stroked his head lovingly and said, "Shuo'er, you have to shoulder such a heavy burden at such a young age. This is the first time in less than a thousand years. In fact, all the thieves, including me, have never looked for this treasure. You don’t need to think too much, just remember to keep this secret. Maybe the time for this treasure to appear has already passed. Far."
Jiang Shuo heard what Li Yong said was strange and was about to ask more questions. Suddenly he heard an extremely subtle breathing sound in his ears. He was startled. Could it be Xiang'er who was naughty and came to take a peek again? Jiang Shuo pushed the door open and left the house, only to see no one outside the house. Just as he was confused, he suddenly heard Hun Weiming speak loudly outside the courtyard: "Young Master Jiang, I have something urgent to report."
Jiang Shuo turned around and looked at Li Yong. Li Yong was still standing in the house and nodded to him. Jiang Shuo floated out of the yard. Hun Weiming, Nan Jiyun and others gathered around him with anxious expressions. When they saw Dugu Xiang standing there After Hun Weiming's death, he didn't know if she had sneaked into the hospital just now, but Jiang Shuo knew that everyone in the Jianghu Alliance loved Dugu Xiang very much, and if asked, they would definitely be covering up for her, and besides, the current situation was too late to pursue Xiang'er. Nonsense, we have to deal with business first.
Hun Weiming stepped forward and crossed his hands and said, "Xianggong Wei Jianwei was framed by Li Linfu, the female minister, and he was plotting to establish a crown prince with Huangfu Weiming, the governor of Hexi Province..."
Jiang Shuo said: "Brother Hun, I have heard about this matter. Didn't you say you are still being interrogated?"
Hun Weiming said: "The sage was confused by Li Linfu and has decreed that Wei Xianggong be demoted to the post of Jinyun Prefect, and Huangfu Weiming was appointed to the post of Bochuan Prefect."
Jiang Shuo was shocked: "So fast? The incident happened only a few days ago."
Hun Wei Ming said: "Sages are very suspicious, especially Wei Xianggong's sister is the crown prince Li Heng's concubine. It is a big taboo for relatives to collude with the generals, so they were dealt with so quickly. But Wei Xianggong is okay, Jinyun The county is the original Kuozhou, and Li Shijun also served as the governor of Kuozhou, but it is not a wild place, much better than Bozhou on the Central Guizhou Road where Huangfu Weiming went."
Cheng Qianli said: "Hey... Hun'er, don't worry about the cause and effect now! Let's talk seriously."
Hun Wei said clearly: "Yes, yes, Prime Minister Wei was demoted and his life was not in danger for a while, but our brothers were in dire straits. In order to frame Mr. Wei, Li Linfu first asked Shi Jiwen to impeach Mr. Wei in court, and secondly, Li Linfu They asked Luo Xishi, the supervisory censor, to arrest people involved with Wei Xianggong along both sides of the canal and torture him to extract confessions on false charges. Brother Xie Yanchang was arrested and imprisoned. However, he was a chivalrous and righteous man and was quite popular. I didn't suffer much in prison, but now that Wei Xianggong has been convicted, Brother Xie and others have been convicted of conspiracy to rebel and will be executed soon."
Jiang Shuo was shocked and said, "Brother Xie is not weak in martial arts, how could he be caught so easily?"
Hun Wei said clearly: "Brother Xie was willing to surrender and go to jail voluntarily in order not to implicate the boatmen brothers on the canal. But now we want to kill his head, and our Cao Gang brothers will not agree. Brothers from all the Cao Gang want to rob the prison." To save him, he unexpectedly underestimated the enemy. Li Linfu had many minions. Luo Xishi's kung fu was not weak, and he had many helpers from the Songshan Shaolin Sect. It was really difficult to deal with him. He failed to save him, but Luo Xishi was attracted I'm alert, it's even harder to save Brother Xiao now, Lu Yuxuan sent a message, asking me to take people to Bianzhou to discuss a plan to save people."
Jiang Shuo hurriedly said: "Brother Hun, I'll go with you!"
Hun Wei said clearly, "That's exactly what I meant. Now Brother Xie is being detained in Chenliu County, Bianzhou, which is not very far from here. We have to go quickly. If we are late, we will have to collect his brother's body."
Pu Gu Huaien hesitated and said: "Looking back, Pu Gu has an official body and blatantly robbed and rebelled against prison. I can..."
Jiang Shuo hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Brother Pu Gu, there is no need to be so embarrassed. I think we are going to save people and not to rebel. It will be useless if more people go. Besides, Brother Pu Gu, you are also a member of the Western Army and a female officer." Li Linfu originally framed Wei Xianggong for colluding with the Western Army Jiedu Envoy. If you go to rescue people with us, if your identity is leaked, wouldn't it further confirm the crime of Wei Xianggong and Brother Xie?"
Shen Hui also clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, in my opinion, it would be better not to go to the servant bone donor."
Pu Guhuaien said: "Okay! Thank you Su Zhi, Master for your understanding. I came here to investigate Yan Jun's actions secretly. Now I show up to fight with Liu Yao. There is no guarantee that my identity will not be discovered. Now I want to Hurry back to Shuofang to avoid being framed by the Eastern Army."
Shenhui said: "Donor of the Servant Bone, there is no need to thank me. I preside over the Heze Temple in Luoyang. I don't have to go to the prison, but I can only take care of it secretly."
Jiang Shuo said hurriedly: "Master, what are you talking about? I don't dare bother you with such mundane matters."
However, Cheng Qianli glared and said: "Pu Gu, you have been saying for a long time that you have no loyalty! Young Master, I will go with you to save people!"
Jiang Shuo said: "No, Brother Cheng, aren't you also going to join the Western Army? How can you join us in doing this "violating the forbidden by force" thing? Let me tell you that we have enough manpower to go here. Brother, you should go to Shuofang with Brother Pugu. "
Cheng Qianli was still about to argue when Shenhui said: "Donor Cheng, just listen to me. I heard that Liu Luogu of An Lushan faction in the capital has been trying every means to erode the imperial court and the Western Army. If you are in the Western Army If you can get an official position, if An Lushan really rebels in the future, there will be a new force to fight against the rebellion!"
After another round of persuasion from everyone, Cheng Qianli agreed to go to Shuofang first with Pu Guhuaien.
Jiang Shuo said to Nan Jiyun: "Brother Nan, you and your brothers should stay in Beihai to protect Commander Li. You are safe and cunning. I'm afraid they will come back again."
Although Nan Jiyun was unwilling in his heart, he could only cross his hands and say yes. At this time, Li Yong opened the courtyard door and came out, saying: "I am an old man with a broken body, and I want Nan Ba to guard the ***? What do you want me to say? It’s important that Nanba also go together to rescue the talents.”.
Jiang Shuo said: "But..."
Li Yong said: "As for the traitor Gao Bujie, he doesn't dare to kill me. An Lushan is recruiting talents everywhere. If he kills me, won't he take the blame?"
Hun Wei said clearly: "Li Shijun is right. Young Master, we are going to rescue people this time. Soldiers are more expensive than fines. I think so, just a few of us will go lightly. I and Nan Ba's capable generals We all stay in the Prefect's Mansion to protect the envoy, and then let Di Kan lead his people to the north for support, so that everything will be safe."
Cheng Qianli said: "Yes, I'm here to write a letter to brother Di and ask him to come at starry night!" Cheng Ang was Di Kan's lake owner and had always had a close relationship with Di Kan, so he said he personally wrote a letter to summon him.
Li Yong still said no, but Jiang Shuo thought that this was the only idea. Although these masters from various gangs in Wuhu were almost useless against Liu Yao, no matter how many people they had, he couldn't do it all at once. Just stay in Beihai and not leave. It would be good to have more people to protect Li Yong Zhouquan, so he nodded and agreed to the arrangement of Hun Weiming and Cheng Qianli.
Without further ado, Jiang Shuo, Dugu Xiang, Hun Weiming, and Nan Jiyun said goodbye to Li Yong and were about to leave. Although it was late at night, Li Yong was the governor of a county. He took out the fish talisman and gave it to Hun Weiming, so that everyone could leave the city at midnight. He also wrote a written statement to everyone, and then
Later, it became much more convenient to walk on the land of Henan Road.
Pugu Huai'en and Cheng Qianli were not in a hurry to leave. Li Yong asked them to wait a few days before leaving, so as not to enter and exit the city gate at the same time as Jiang Shuo and others, which would arouse suspicion.
As for Jing Zhencheng, he was not interested in the life and death of the Caobang people, and he wanted to go north and west together with Pu and Cheng. Jiang Shuo asked curiously: "Jinglang, aren't you going back to Japan with your grandpa?"
Jing Zhencheng said: "Brother Su, when you were in there with Mr. Ruxiang just now, my grandfather and I had already discussed that he would not return to China, but planned to go to Heze Temple to continue practicing with Master Shenhui. As for me, let go of my hatred. After that, I also want to go to the west and join the army. Firstly, I can make great achievements and change the misunderstanding of the Japanese people in the Tang Dynasty. Secondly, it is less dangerous than going to the Western Regions to find the descendants of Prince Jiancheng. I also want to secretly monitor..."
Nan Jiyun was shocked and said: "Jinglang, don't follow your grandfather's old path. The Japanese envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty were wiped out because of their evil intentions."
Jing Zhencheng waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, I'm just following the whereabouts of the Yan army. Besides, the careerists on the Japanese island have long been buried. The current emperor doesn't have time to study the Tang Dynasty every day, so how can he cause any trouble? "
So everyone parted ways, and Pugu Huai'en, Cheng Qianli and Jing Zhencheng went north to cross the Yellow River and crossed Yue Taihang Shanxi to Shuofang; Jing Kuanren returned to Luoyang with Master Shenhui, who was with Jiang Shuo and the others. However, Master Shenhui was well-known in Liangjing and Henan Province, and he was afraid that moving together would get in the way, so he said goodbye to Jiang Shuo and others and set off at the wrong time. Finally, Jiang Shuo, Dugu Xiang, Hun Weiming, and Nan Jiyun headed west together. Chenliu County.
