After ten masked men in black stopped Wang Beixin's traveling commander, a sly smile appeared on Wang Beixin's face. He said to these men in black: "You are here just in time. I have planned to catch the criminals who sabotaged Marshal Wushu's plan. Please escort the prisoners back to the camp. I also got a letter from the Marshal himself. If you find it, please bring it back too."
One of the masked men burst out laughing after hearing Wang Beixin's words. He kept nodding his head and praising Wang Beixin for his thoroughness in his work, saying that after returning, he would definitely put in a few kind words for him in front of the marshal, ensuring that he would enjoy endless prosperity and wealth in the future.
After Wang Beixin bowed down and thanked him profusely, he ordered his soldiers to push Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing towards the prison car where the masked man had prepared. At this time, Fu Tianpeng secretly winked at Zhao Xueqing, and Zhao Xueqing understood. When the masked man reached out to grab Fu Tianpeng's shoulder, Fu Tianpeng suddenly shouted "Open". He was furious and struggled with his arms. He used the "dragon escape" move to break the ropes tied to his hands. Then, Fu Tianpeng quickly drew out the Bibo sword and helped Zhao Xueqing untie her. For a moment, the two men each held weapons and faced off against the masked men.
The situation in front of him was unexpected by the masked man. He immediately said in a panic: "Get them quickly." As soon as the masked man finished speaking, the light and shadow of the blue wave sword in Fu Tianpeng's hand danced as fast as the waves crashing on the shore. I saw a strong flow of air gathering into a whirlpool and rushing toward the masked man's chest. The masked man was so frightened that he tried to dodge sideways but was unable to do so. Fu Tianpeng immediately killed him with a knife. Seeing this, the other masked men immediately surrounded Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing in Gaixia. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing each held precious swords and sharp swords, and used exquisite moves. The sword rose and fell, and the villains fell to the ground one after another.
Only now did Wang Beixin understand that Fu Tianpeng had used a trick. If he continues to stay here, he will definitely be captured by them within a moment. Thinking of this, Wang Beixin mounted his fast horse and whipped it hard. After Liang Ji neighed a few times, he galloped away towards Zhenjiang.
By the time Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing eliminated all the masked men, Wang Beixin had already disappeared. Fu Tianpeng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger. Zhao Xueqing immediately said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, quickly retrieve Jin Wushu's letter, and then rush to Pingjiang Mansion to inquire with the Li brothers about the situation along the river."
It was already late at night when Fu Tianpeng and his party arrived at Pingjiang Mansion. Three of the four gates have been closed. Only the gate connecting to the Zhongshi River can be heard, the clinking of woodcutters, the clang of axes and the shouts of soldiers. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing were hiding in the distance and secretly observing the situation here. The two of them discovered that the Jin Kingdom flags were planted all over the city of Pingjiang Fucheng, and a huge water fortress was built at the mouth of the river.
Seeing everything in front of him, Fu Tianpeng frowned and said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, now that the Jin soldiers have occupied Pingjiang Mansion, I wonder what the situation is like for General Li and the others? I really want to sneak into the city quietly to find out the news."
Zhao Xueqing gently patted Fu Tianpeng on the shoulder and said: "Brother Tianpeng, I can understand your mood and I am also worried about General Li's safety. However, what we have to do now is to rush to Zhenjiang at night and report what happened along the way. Tell Marshal Han. The rebellious Wu Xi has entered Bashu, and there are traitors like Wang Beixin under Marshal Han's account. The Jin soldiers still occupy the waterways. If several parties unite, then the court's future conquests The road will be full of obstacles.”
After hearing what Zhao Xueqing said, Fu Tianpeng felt as if the clouds had cleared and the sun appeared. He said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, let's go straight to Zhenjiang now to find Marshal Han." After that, the two of them went straight to Zhenjiang.
When Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing walked to a forest path, they suddenly heard the sound of wheels and the sound of horse hooves. They hurriedly hid nearby and secretly observed what was going on around them.
After a while, the two of them saw a team of more than ten Jin soldiers escorting five people passing in front of them.
At this moment, Fu Tianpeng said to Zhao Xueqing: "Save people" and then rushed out like an arrow. Fu Tianpeng punched and kicked, and his shots were like lightning. Plunging into the squad of golden soldiers is like a wolf rushing into a flock of sheep. In the blink of an eye, two or three golden soldiers fell to the ground. Seeing that it was difficult to resist, the rest of the people abandoned their weapons and ran for their lives in all directions.
After Jin Bing was defeated and left, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing untied the ropes tied to the five people. The five people thanked Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing in unison. They said: "Thank you two knights for your help. If I hadn't met you today, I'm afraid our lives would have been in danger."
Fu Tianpeng told them there was no need to be polite, it was his duty to act chivalrously and righteously. Fu Tianpeng then asked the five people what Jin Bing was doing by escorting them. These people sighed softly, shook their heads repeatedly and replied: "The two knights don't know something. We are all carpenters nearby. The Jin soldiers captured us because they wanted us to go to their water village to assist in shipbuilding."
After listening to the stories of these five people, Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, Jin Wushu is grabbing manpower everywhere to build ships for them. It seems that he will soon start a large-scale attack on Song Dynasty. We have to go to see Marshal Han as soon as possible." Tell him this."
After their discussion, Fu Tianpeng asked the carpenters to flee quickly, because for the sake of war, the Kingdom of Jin would definitely collect intelligence and find people who were proficient in carpentry to work for them. Therefore, it is best for them to go away from home now and find another job. They must not expose their skills. The carpenters thanked Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing again and disappeared into the night together.
Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing got back on the road and finally reached Zhenjiang after repeated attacks and arduous trek. After showing Prime Minister Zhao Ding's letter to the guards, Fu Tianpeng and the others were quickly invited into the stronghold.
The two of them walked slowly when they saw Han Shizhong's camp with flags waving and soldiers standing in large numbers, creating a majestic atmosphere. Looking at the soldiers' camps in the distance, they are all located close to mountains and rivers, occupying advantageous locations. One camp is connected to the other, like a long snake coiled, echoing from head to tail. Fu Tianpeng said to Zhao Xueqing: "Marshal Han is really good at using troops. Having such a marshal is really a blessing to our Song Dynasty."
After Fu Tianpeng and the others took in the atmosphere of the barracks, they quickly arrived at the Chinese army commander's tent. After the soldiers went in to report, Marshal Han invited the two of them into the commander's tent. When Fu Tianpeng saw Shuai An, there was a man sitting upright. He was wearing a golden animal-faced chainmail. He was tall, his eyes were like lightning, he had a long beard and flowing beard, and he was calm and intimidating. Look at the woman in the second seat, who is dressed in red. Her skin is as creamy and as beautiful as a peach and plum. She carries two swords and tassels on her back, and she is smart and heroic.
Fu Tianpeng knew that this was the anti-Jin couple Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu, who were famous and gave Jin Wushu a headache. Fu Tianpeng has admired the reputation of Marshal Han for a long time, and he could not conceal his joy because he was lucky enough to see him today. Immediately, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing hurriedly bowed deeply to the marshal and his wife.
Han Shizhong told Fu Tianpeng not to be formal, and he looked at Fu Tianpeng carefully while stroking his beard. Seeing his bright eyes and handsome young man, I liked him very much. After finding out about his origins, Han Shizhong was even more overjoyed. He laughed loudly and said: "It turns out that the young hero is a descendant of General Fu Cha, the famous general of the Song Dynasty. No wonder the general is so extraordinary."
Marshal Han here is very fond of Fu Tianpeng, and Mrs. Han Liang Hongyu is also very fond of Zhao Xueqing. Liang Hongyu was a heroic girl. Before joining the Song Army, she came from a rough world, so she had a special liking for the heroines who fought with swords in the world. In addition, she had no daughter, so she felt particularly fond of the ice-snowed and intelligent Zhao Xueqing.
Therefore, Mrs. Han immediately proposed her idea to Han Shizhong to recognize Zhao Xueqing as her adopted daughter. When Zhao Xueqing saw that Liang Hongyu loved her so much, she quickly knelt down to pay homage and shouted "My daughter pays homage to her adoptive mother" in Yinling's voiceless voice. Liang Hongyu smiled happily and quickly pulled Zhao Xueqing away from her. Zhao Xueqing then paid homage to Marshal Han.
Han Shizhong laughed and said to Liang Hongyu: "Madam, good things come in pairs. I liked Fu Shaoxia very much as soon as I saw him. Yanzhi and him should be about the same age. Why don't they become brothers with different surnames? We can take care of each other if anything happens in the future. .”
After listening to this, Liang Hongyu strongly agreed with her husband's words. She glanced at a young general standing next to her and said to him: "Yanzhi, go over and have a chat with Fu Shaoxia. Later, you will burn incense and worship the heaven and the earth. You will become brothers of different surnames and work together to protect the Song Dynasty." "
Fu Tianpeng and Han Yanzhi hit it off immediately, and during the conversation they learned that Han Yanzhi was two years older than Fu Tianpeng. Fu Tianpeng quickly clasped his fists in greeting to Han Yanzhi and said affectionately: "Brother." Han Yanzhi returned the gift and chatted with Fu Tianpeng. It was like they hadn't seen each other for many years, and they always had endless things to say to each other. Han Shizhong and his wife were very happy to see their true love.
After briefly discussing personal matters, Liang Hongyu took Zhao Xueqing for a walk near the outside of the camp. The other generals also stood up to say goodbye and retreated outside. At this time, Han Shizhong's relaxed joy just disappeared like smoke from his face, and he quickly asked Fu Tianpeng what happened along the way. Fu Tianpeng then told Han Shizhong everything about his danger in Pingjiang Mansion, the attack on the ruined temple, the investment of gold by the deputy general of the camp Wang Beixin, and the arrests of people in the Jinbing Water Village.
After Han Shizhong took Zhao Ding's handwritten letter and read it, he was so angry that he started to fight. He cursed Wu Xi for betraying Song and Toujin, and then he was angry that there was a villain like Wang Beixin in his camp. Han Shizhong took out his command arrow and sent his generals to capture Wang Beixin and the two soldiers guarding the fortress.
Fu Tianpeng said to Han Shizhong at this time: "Marshal, please bear with the wrath of thunder for the time being. Please listen to the next words." Han Shizhong slowly put down the arrow and said to Fu Tianpeng: "Young hero, please tell me something." Fu Tianpeng said to Han Shizhong: "Marshal Han, After Wang Beixin captured us, we were met by masked black-clothed masters along the way. This shows that the Jin Kingdom sent to the Song Dynasty not only soldiers and generals, but also people from the world. Marshal, you need to know these people from the world. Flying over eaves and walking over walls, they come and go without a trace. If they find out useful information, or secretly sneak into the city and wait for an opportunity to assassinate our generals, the consequences will be disastrous. It is better for us to consider the war situation first and control the fortresses along the river. , deployed heavy troops to prevent the Jin soldiers from advancing."
Han Shizhong expressed his approval of Fu Tianpeng's suggestion, and then he asked Fu Tianpeng for advice. How should the soldiers guarding the camp deal with it? Fu Tianpeng knew that Marshal Han loved his soldiers as much as his sons, and given the circumstances at that time, it might be really difficult for the soldiers guarding the camp to determine his identity. That's why he was deceived and used by Wang Beixin with his sweet words. Fu Tianpeng was very satisfied with the explanation he gave. He also asked Han Shizhong to question the soldiers guarding the camp based on his duties.
After hearing Fu Tianpeng's words, Han Shizhong nodded repeatedly. In his heart, he praised Fu Tianpeng for his decent handling of things and his extraordinary agility.
