A clear wave makes the boat travel thousands of miles. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing went down the river and soon arrived in Fujian. After a short rest, the two went straight to Putian South Shaolin Temple. Next to Jiulian Mountain Road, Fu Tianpeng was about to climb the stone steps to the ancient temple. Suddenly a man jumped out of the nearby forest. He quickly came to Fu Tianpeng and begged for some silver.
The person who came was a beggar, about fifteen or sixteen years old. His face was covered with mud, his clothes were ragged, and he was wearing a pair of rag shoes with exposed toes. Fu Tianpeng saw that the other party was a child, so he took out his wallet and prepared to take out some silver.
However, just when he was about to take the silver, the beggar suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Fu Tianpeng's purse, pulled hard and snatched it away, and then he hurried towards the forest. When Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing saw the beggar taking something by force, they chased after him.
Although the beggar wore shoes that did not follow his feet, his movements were extremely agile and agile. He rushed left and right in the forest, relying on the thick tree body as cover, and quickly disappeared. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing pursued him all the way, but they soon became separated.
A cold moon passed through the dense forest and shot out a bright light. Fu Tianpeng used the light and cautiously moved forward. Fu Tianpeng was walking when he suddenly felt his feet empty. He knew something was wrong and was about to jump out of the trap. However, a snare floated over his head again, covering his whole body tightly.
Then Fu Tianpeng's limbs were in the air and he was hung firmly on the tree. Fu Tianpeng shouted repeatedly on the Internet, and Zhao Xueqing rushed over after hearing the news. After carefully observing the situation in the forest, she climbed up the trees and branches, choosing an open place to approach Fu Tianpeng's rope net.
Just as Zhao Xueqing was approaching the rope net, three bamboo arrows flew toward her. Zhao Xueqing shuttled back and forth in the style of a jade girl, swinging her sword to knock down bamboo arrows. Then he turned around and threw the Chanjuan sword backwards, cutting off one end of the tree trunk that bound the rope. The rope net was tilted and threw Fu Tianpeng out.
Fu Tianpeng performed Qing Gong, and his feet were even and steady, and he stood firmly on the ground. He walked forward and said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, thank you."
Zhao Xueqing put away the Chanjuan sword and looked at Fu Tianpeng affectionately with bright eyes. She asked Fu Tianpeng with concern if he was injured. Fu Tianpeng looked at the net rope behind him and said angrily: "Sister Qing, I am not injured. It's just that this world is dangerous and deceitful. A pitiful little beggar actually repays kindness with revenge and designs to harm the people who helped him."
While the two were talking, a figure suddenly appeared behind them. Fu Tianpeng saw this and immediately chased after him. Zhao Xueqing was afraid that he would encounter a vicious plot, so she followed him closely.
Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing chased after him, and saw the little beggar from before leaning on a big bluestone near the river, lying on his back with his legs crossed and looking at the sky. The little beggar drank wine while admiring the stars.
Fu Tianpeng had a leisurely expression and was very angry in his heart.
Fu Tianpeng scolded the little beggar: "I gave you some money with good intentions, but I didn't expect you to actually set a trap to harm me. What's the truth?"
After hearing these words, the little beggar laughed and said, "He told Fu Tianpeng that if he had the intention to harm him, I'm afraid he would be dead by now."
The little beggar threw Fu Tianpeng's wallet to him and told him that there was a lot of silver in it. Fu Tianpeng put the money bag away, walked up to the little beggar and asked him why he did this.
The little beggar told Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing that entering the Shaolin Temple now is a one-way trip. Hearing this, the two looked at the little beggar with surprised expressions. Then the little beggar said to Fu Tianpeng: "Now the monks of the Southern Shaolin Temple have left the temple. A group of officers and soldiers are stationed there, waiting for reckless people to fall into the trap."
After listening to the little beggar's story, Fu Tianpeng couldn't believe the reality in front of him. He quickly asked about the whereabouts of the monks in the He Temple. The little beggar replied to Fu Tianpeng that he heard that Pu Shougeng designed to capture the eminent monks such as Fashan, Fakong, and Faming, and forced them to leave the Song Dynasty. When the three divine monks refused to agree, Pu Shougeng killed the monks. Finally, when he saw that the eminent monks refused to obey, and had no other options, he secretly imprisoned them.
After Zhao Xueqing listened to the little beggar's words, she said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, it seems that General Li Bao is probably imprisoned with the Shaolin monks. Although we don't know the specific place of imprisonment now, as long as we seize the person stationed here, The generals may be able to trace some clues.”
Fu Tianpeng agreed with Zhao Xueqing's proposal, and the little beggar also praised Zhao Xueqing's intelligence. However, it is not only unrealistic to go deep into the ancient Shaolin temple and capture their generals in front of the army, but it may also arouse Pu Shougeng's anger and do something to harm the Shaolin monks.
Fu Tianpeng looked at the little beggar and asked him that since he knew so much about the internal situation of Shaolin Temple, he must have stayed here for a long time. The little beggar laughed loudly. He told Fu Tianpeng that it was very rare for him to be able to analyze the problem calmly at this time. Faced with such praise, Fu Tianpeng's face turned red.
The little beggar told Fu Tianpeng: "On the night when Pu Shougeng captured the monks, he was sleeping in the nearby forest. The sudden cry of killing woke him up. At that time, he saw the Shaolin monks being tied up by Pu Shougeng's soldiers. , formed a long queue and captured him. Pu Shougeng told a general around him to set up defenses and set up traps here, and if anyone rushes to the Shaolin Temple to help, he will be captured on the spot."
Fu Tianpeng expressed his gratitude to the little beggar for his generous help. Now it seemed that Southern Shaolin was inaccessible, so he had to find another way to rescue the monks in the temple. Fu Tianpeng then asked the little beggar about the patrol situation in the temple and the names of the generals stationed there.
The little beggar told Fu Tianpeng that he was not very clear about the specific situation in the temple. But if Pu Shougeng could capture all the eminent Shaolin monks, there must be a lot of information about the agency here. So it's best not to act rashly. As for the generals stationed here, the little beggar heard Pu Shougeng call him Tian Zhenzi.
Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing said: "Sister Qing, let's go to the city and find out where this person named Tian lives?"
When the little beggar saw that Fu Tianpeng was about to enter the city, he also wanted to help him. Fu Tianpeng said to the little beggar: "Little brother, you'd better hide here and monitor Tian Zhenzi's every move. Let's act separately, and we can fully control the situation of the other party."
The little beggar agreed, and Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing entered the city. When they arrived in the city, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing transformed into rich gentry and came to Zhizhou Mansion. The soldiers guarding the gate stopped the two of them and asked them what they wanted to do.
Fu Tianpeng's face was full of smiles. He said to the soldier: "This military master, we are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. We are sending some local products to the governor."
After hearing Fu Tianpeng's words, the soldier immediately turned around and entered the mansion. Not long after, a fat man with a mustache came out following the soldiers. The soldier said to Fu Tianpeng: "This is our Master Tian's master Mei Lian. If you have anything to say, just ask him."
Fu Tianpeng said hello to Master Mei and falsely claimed that Tian Zhizhou had helped him a lot. This time he was lucky enough to come to Fujian and he must thank him in person. Mei Lian clasped her fists in return and asked Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing with a smile where they were from and what industry they were engaged in.
Fu Tianpeng took out the West Lake Dragon Well, Tongxiang Chrysanthemum, and Kaihua Dragon Top from the box and handed them to Mei Lian. Mei Lian took the tea and smelled it. The fragrance hit her nose and she felt relaxed and happy. He grinned widely and said, "It turns out that you two are tea merchants. Tea has been in short supply for many years, so you must have made a lot of money."
Fu Tianpeng said some humble words. He told Mei Lian that if he could see Tian Zhizhou this time, he would definitely not forget Master Mei's help. After that, Fu Tianpeng carried two boxes of tea and gave them to Mei Lian. Mei Lian's eyes immediately lit up when she saw this top-quality fairy tea. He laughed and said, "You don't get rewarded for your merits. This is too polite of you, sir."
Mei Lian ordered people to carry the tea into the mansion. He told Fu Tianpeng that Tian Zhizhou was out on business and was not in the government office. It would be better to visit the mansion next time.
After hearing Mei Lian's words, Fu Tianpeng immediately looked embarrassed. He told Master Mei that he was traveling all over the country and had no fixed destination. It's not easy to come to Fujian this time. Even if I can't see Mr. Zhizhou, it's still the same if I can visit his family. Otherwise, if Mr. Tian finds out, he will definitely blame me for my lack of etiquette.
Mei Lian tugged at her rat whiskers and kept nodding. He said to Fu Tianpeng: "Young Master's words are reasonable, and I accept the benefits from Young Master. Naturally, I should do my best. Let's do this. I will lead the way, and you can just follow me."
Fu Tianpeng clasped his fists in thanks, and Mei Lian winked at the soldiers. He said to the soldiers: "Why are you still standing there like elm trees? Why don't you hurry up and help the young master carry the box?"
Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing knew that Mei Lian was asking soldiers to help carry the box in name, but in fact he was secretly protecting her. Mei Lian led Fu Tianpeng and the others through streets and alleys, through alleys, and into Changmen. After walking eighteen twists and turns, they finally arrived at Tian Zhizhou's home at the end of the deep path.
After Mei Lian knocked on the door, someone quickly opened it. A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks poked his head out, and said to Mei Lian: "Ah, it's Master Mei, come in quickly."
Mei Lian then turned around and let Fu Tianpeng, Zhao Xueqing and the soldiers carrying gifts come in. The guy with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks couldn't help but look angry when he saw so many people coming, and they were all new faces he had never seen before. He asked Mei Lian, what do these people do?
Mei Lian pointed at Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing and explained to the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks: "Steward Tian, these two people are old friends with us. They came all the way to Fujian to give you gifts this time. I have verified their identities. They are just a person." Just tea merchants. These boxes contain nothing but tea."
When Butler Tian heard this, he looked at Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing for a long time with his small green bean eyes. After some cross-examination, he saw that Fu Tianpeng answered fluently, so he let them in. Butler Tian whispered to Mei Lian from behind: "The old lady is meditating in the nearby thatched cottage. If you make her unhappy, be careful how Master Tian will punish you when he comes back."
Fu Tianpeng walked into the farm house, carefully observed the situation inside and outside, and then secretly winked at Zhao Xueqing. Zhao Xueqing understood and immediately took action like lightning. After subduing the accompanying soldiers, she quickly closed the door of the house. When Mei Lian saw the scene in front of her, she was so frightened that her legs went weak.
Fu Tianpeng told him not to make any noise and alarm others, and Mei Lian nodded repeatedly. Then Fu Tianpeng took out the pills from his gourd and stuffed them into Mei Lian's mouth. He told Mei Lian that this was a one-day intestinal piercing pill. When Mei Lian heard the name of the medicine, her face turned pale with fear.
Fu Tianpeng said to Mei Lian: "If you want to survive, you must do what he wants."
Mei Lian's life was in Fu Tianpeng's hands and she could only obey his words. Fu Tianpeng told Mei Lian that the old lady had something urgent to do and asked Mr. Tian to come back immediately. Mei Lian nodded repeatedly. After Fu Tianpeng let him go, he ran out like a madman.
