After Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing discovered the secret of the Jin Kingdom sending masters to sneak into the Song Dynasty, they rode fast horses and went straight to Han Shizhong's camp without any trouble. At the gate of the camp, Fu Tianpeng explained his purpose to the soldiers guarding the camp. The soldiers guarding the camp asked Fu Tianpeng and others to wait outside the camp and not to wander around. After Fu Tianpeng agreed, the soldier guarding the camp gave a few words to another soldier beside him, and then he turned around and walked towards the camp.
Not far after the guarding soldier walked in, he heard someone yelling sharply from behind him: "Stop here, if you don't do your patrol work, why are you running around in the camp?" The guarding soldier quickly turned around and saw only one person. The general wearing fish scale armor stood about ten feet away behind him. The general was five feet tall, thin and withered. He has a pointed face, short narrow eyebrows, a flat nose, a large mouth, and a row of uneven teeth. He spits out saliva from time to time when talking. This ugly-looking general was currently glaring at the soldiers guarding the camp with his cunning rat eyes.
Seeing someone questioning him, the soldier guarding the camp bowed and said, "General Wang, there are two knights from Lin'an who want to meet Marshal Han for something. I was about to go to the commander's tent to report." After hearing the answer of the soldier guarding the camp, , the general surnamed Wang tugged a few sparse beards under his chin with his hands, and said to the soldiers guarding the camp in a nasal voice: "Well, I understand. Now you lead the way, and I will follow you to meet these two people outside the camp. Personally. Now is a troubled time, and you must be careful to watch out for the details of the Jin Kingdom. You don’t know the other party’s details, so you report the news to Marshal Han at will. If someone plots evil against Marshal Han, can you afford it? "
After hearing what General Wang said, the soldiers guarding the camp turned pale with fear. He bowed repeatedly and asked General Wang for forgiveness. The general named Wang patted the soldier on the shoulder and told the soldier with a smile on his face that he would never tell Marshal Han about the oversight. But the prerequisite for letting things go is that the soldier must hand over the letter in his hand to him.
The soldier secretly stuffed the letter into the sleeve of the general named Wang. After he glanced at the content of the letter, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. After General Wang received the letter, he followed the soldiers outside the camp as if nothing had happened. After General Wang saw Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing, he looked at them carefully and then asked many questions. Fu Tianpeng explained everything one by one without any complaints in his words.
General Wang said "hmm" and then told Fu Tianpeng that Marshal Han had gone to inspect the defense along the river with his troops. After Fu Tianpeng learned the news, he asked where he could see the marshal? General Wang told him that he should be able to meet Marshal Han in Zhenjiang. Fu Tianpeng thanked General Wang and prepared to leave for Zhenjiang. When he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that the letter was still in the soldier's hand, so Fu Tianpeng immediately asked the soldier for the letter.
The soldier glanced at General Wang, then pretended to be calm and said to Fu Tianpeng: "Young knight, what nonsense are you talking about? When did you give me any letters?" Fu Tianpeng couldn't get angry when he saw the soldier staring and telling lies. Come everywhere. He pointed to another soldier at the gate of the camp and said: "When I handed the letter, you also saw it. Please explain everything to this general."
Another soldier told Fu Tianpeng expressionlessly that he had not seen any letters and could not prove it. When Fu Tianpeng heard this, it undoubtedly increased the anger in his heart. Fu Tianpeng asked the soldiers: "You are confusing the public and confusing right and wrong. What do you mean?"
As soon as Fu Tianpeng finished speaking, the general named Wang became angry. He said to Fu Tianpeng in a questioning tone: "Young knight, please don't be so rude. Our Marshal Han manages the army well, and all of his soldiers are upright and good men. They fought bloody battles to protect the security of the territory. Only when you have good generals at your side can you enjoy peace. Now that the young knight is ungrateful, he instead speaks out to discredit the soldiers in the camp. What does that mean?"
Fu Tianpeng suppressed his anger and turned to the general and said, "May I ask what is the name of this general?" The general said casually: "My name is Wang Beixin, and I am the deputy general in the camp." Next, Fu Tianpeng said politely: "General Wang has long admired me. My name, what I said just now is not disrespectful to Marshal Han. It’s just that the letter disappeared in a blink of an eye, and this matter is of great importance. I hope General Wang will help with the investigation."
Wang Beixin nodded and said to Fu Tianpeng: "What you said, young knight, makes you feel comfortable. I think so, you go to the Shengsheng Inn near the foot of the mountain to rest for a while. All expenses will be paid by the camp. Once the investigation results are available, I will send someone to notify the young hero immediately."
Fu Tianpeng had no choice but to endure it for the time being, and turned around and left Han Shizhong's camp with Zhao Xueqing. Fu Tianpeng frowned all the way, feeling annoyed. Zhao Xueqing said to him softly: "Brother Tianpeng, have you noticed that the attitude of the soldier guarding the camp changed drastically? Someone must have said something to him. He was afraid of this person's power and concealed the truth of the matter."
Zhao Xueqing's words gradually made Fu Tianpeng wake up from his anger. He said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, the soldier guarding the camp changed from friendly to hostile to us in a short period of time. This shows that he must have seen someone who scared him after entering the camp. And this person is most likely to be that person. The name is Lieutenant General Wang Beixin. Because when I asked the soldier about the whereabouts of the letter, he looked at Wang Beixin very unnaturally."
Zhao Xueqing looked at Fu Tianpeng tenderly with her watery eyes. She smiled and said: "Brother Tianpeng, I thought you were just angry and didn't notice this detail. Yes, even if this Wang Beixin is not the one who hid the letter, then he has nothing to do with it. It’s impossible to disassociate from this matter.”
The content of the letter is related to the safety of many generals. If the criminals destroy the list, once the Jin army invades the Song Dynasty with overwhelming force, then he will become the sinner of the Song Dynasty. Thinking of this, Fu Tianpeng stamped his feet repeatedly and kept blaming himself for being careless and falling into other people's tricks.
Zhao Xueqing held Fu Tianpeng's hand and comforted her softly: "Brother Tianpeng, I can't blame you for this. Who would have thought that in Marshal Han's passionate camp, there would be such a shameless rebellious Wang Beixin. However, things will always happen. When the truth comes out, let's go back and wait to see what kind of medicine Wang Beixin sells in his gourd."
After the two arrived at the Victory Inn, the shopkeeper arranged a guest room for them. After Fu Tianpeng entered the house, he closed the door tightly. He told the waiter that there was no need to buy food and wine for him. Zhao Xueqing reminded Fu Tianpeng that now the enemy is hidden and we are clear, and the post house is a place for people to talk nonsense, so everything must be done carefully.
While they were talking, they heard someone in the market next to the post house shouting loudly: "Catch him, don't let the Jin Kingdom spies run away. Come quickly, catch him carefully." Fu Tianpeng opened the window and Look, I saw a man with eyes like copper bells and a beard all over his face, running forward in a panic. He looked back from time to time and mumbled something incomprehensible.
A few hundred meters behind this man, there was a Song general riding a fast horse with a command flag on his back, chasing closely. While raising his whip, he waved his hands repeatedly to signal the people along the street to get out of the way. The bearded man ran forward desperately. Suddenly in an alleyway, a Song soldier blocked his way with a spear. The bearded man dodged to the side, then slapped Song Bing's chest with his palm, using a move to "add fuel to the flames." Song Bing vomited blood and immediately fell to the ground and died.
Then General Song, who had the order flag on his back, shouted again: "Quick, quick, hurry up, close the four doors. We must not let this spy escape." After receiving the order, the soldiers guarding the city quickly pushed up the heavy horizontal bars and prepared to kill the bearded man. Locked up in the city. The bearded man took out the iron pills from his arms, and "swish, swish" three pills came out at once, as fast as a meteor and as fast as lightning, knocking down three more Song soldiers.
Fu Tianpeng heard the horse-riding General Song at the window say: "Oh, no. He has escaped outside the city. Everyone, hurry up and chase after me." After General Song rode out of the city, Fu Tianpeng said to Zhao Xueqing: "Qingmei, it seems that this bearded man is the same as the black-clothed hall master we met in the ruined temple. He is a master sent to the Central Plains by the Kingdom of Jin. I have to capture him and I can't let him show off his evil ways."
Zhao Xueqing also nodded and said: "Brother Tianpeng, let me help you. Let's take down this assassin first." After that, the two of them walked on the waves, used Qinggong to follow the traces of General Song of the Lingqi and left the city.
The two of them followed the hoof prints of the fast horse and finally came to a lush forest. Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, this lush forest is very deep, so you must be careful." Fu Tianpeng responded. The two of them guarded each other and moved forward cautiously.
Suddenly, the neighing of a horse was heard not far away. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing accelerated their pace upon hearing the sound and ran forward quickly. There was a "whoosh" sound coming from the front. After Fu Tianpeng pulled away from Zhao Xueqing, he hurriedly dodged sideways. They saw an iron pill hitting their faces.
Fu Tianpenglong grabbed Tanyun and held the iron pill with one hand. The iron pellets are round, dark, and extremely heavy. Fu Tianpeng looked at the iron pill in his hand and said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, the enemy is on the opposite side. Be careful of the hidden weapon in his hand."
As soon as Fu Tianpeng finished speaking, someone in front heard a painful scream of "Ah", and then everything became calm again. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing walked closer and saw that the Song general with the command flag on his back had blood on his forehead. And on the ground not far from where he fell, an iron pill had just been left.
Fu Tianpeng leaned over to check on General Song and found that he was dead. At this time, Zhao Xueqing suddenly said: "Brother Tianpeng, it's not good, we may have fallen into someone else's trick again. Get out of here quickly." After that, Zhao Xueqing took Fu Tianpeng's arm and walked out of the forest.
When Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing were about to turn around, they saw crossbowmen appearing all around. They each held strong bows and crossbows, aiming at the two of them. Wang Beixin said angrily: "Tan Ma came to report that there are assassins from the Jin Kingdom hiding here. It is indeed true."
After listening to Wang Beixin's words, Fu Tianpeng became furious. He pointed at Wang Beixin and cursed: "You are an evil thief who harbors evil intentions. You steal letters and set up traps to harm people. I will never forgive you." After saying that, Fu Tianpeng was about to draw the blue wave sword and fight with Wang Beixin for his life.
Zhao Xueqing whispered to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, a little impatience will mess up a big plan. Now that Song Dynasty general has died under the iron pill, if we resist arrest with force again, we can only be found guilty of treason. It's better to pretend to be caught by them." Stay here and bring out the real mastermind behind the scenes.”
Fu Tianpeng followed Zhao Xueqing's suggestion and decided to capture him. Wang Beixin ordered his soldiers to tie up the two men and then bury General Song's body on the spot. Then he escorted the two of them deeper into the dense forest. As the sound of "rustling" continued, ten men in black jumped down from among the tall leaves. They surrounded the carriages and horses, with murderous intent in their eyes. Wang Beixin couldn't hide the joy on his face, and Fu Tianpeng saw it. My heart is full of admiration for Zhao Xueqing's ice and snow intelligence.
