The two chatted and laughed for a while, then went to find Ru Dan and prepared to go down the mountain together. When I arrived at the gate of Lushan Temple, I saw a group of people chatting together. Li Feng became curious and squeezed in.
It turned out that Ru Dan had just seen an old man faint suddenly, and she quickly squatted down to treat him. She performed the "golden needle passing through the acupoints" method. After a few needles, the old man woke up leisurely.
Rudan said: "Old man, you are weak, so you should move slowly and don't jump up and down in a hurry. Otherwise, the qi and blood attack the heart and it is easy to faint. I have a few pills here. Take them with water when you are flustered. It will have some effect. "The girl has a kind heart and will definitely be rewarded in the future." "Thank you for your kind words, old man."
People around him were filled with admiration and said, "Thank you for having this mushroom lady, otherwise we would have been in trouble. She is really a miracle doctor."
When Liu Shui and Li Feng saw this, they thought that Ru Dan was really kind, so they said, "Hua Tuo, it's time to go home." "Well, let's go down the mountain!" The group of people went down the mountain road and came soon. Go to the river.
After crossing the river and returning to the east bank, Li Feng and Ru Dan were reluctant to leave. Li Feng told Ru Dan her home address and told Ru Dan to go home to talk when she had time, and then go home.
Early the next morning, Li Feng took Liu Shui to wander around Tanzhou Nancheng. Passing by a mansion, I saw that the walls of the mansion were tall and the soldiers guarding the door watched the passers-by vigilantly. Liu Shui wondered who lived here, and the aura was quite impressive.
Liu Shui quietly asked Li Feng, "Miss Feng, whose family is this?"
Li Feng said: "This is the residence of Xu Qiong, the governor of Tanzhou. His power in Tanzhou is second only to that of the governor." On his way to Tanzhou, Liu Shui heard that Tanzhou's tax money had been robbed many times, and he should be closely related to this person.
When Liu Shui thought of this, he couldn't help but stop and look at the mansion carefully. When Li Feng saw this, he asked in surprise: "Brother Liu, why don't you leave?" Liu Shui briefly told Li Feng his suspicions.
Li Feng nodded and said, "There is some truth in your suspicion. The tax bank has been robbed many times, and the government should have an internal response. As for whether it is this Xu Changshi, it is difficult to determine without evidence." Liu Shuidao: "I think Come to find out the news tonight, can you accompany me around his mansion now?" Li Feng agreed.
So the two of them walked around the Xu Mansion, carefully observing the conditions of the surrounding roads and buildings, and finding a way in and out at night. After carefully examining it, Liu Shui said, "You didn't eat well yesterday. How about we go to Zuixian Tower again?"
Li Feng smiled slightly and said: "It's rare that you still remember, so it would be best if you invited me to dinner." Liu Shui replied: "No problem, we will go there right away." After a while, the two came to Zuixian Tower .
Liu Shui and Li Feng returned home and told Li Yan their plans to visit Xu's house at night. After listening to this, Li Yan thought for a while and said, "This Xu Qiong's identity is complicated and there is indeed something fishy about it."
Liu Shui asked: "Senior, are you familiar with this person?" Li Yan said: "I can't say that I am very familiar with him. I have only heard some experiences about him before."
It turns out that Xu Qiong's father is named Xu Xuanche, and he is Xu Xuanche, a subordinate of Liang Wang Xiaoxian. Xu Xuanche followed Xiao Mian and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and was named the governor of Yuezhou. After Xu Xuanche's death, Xu Qiong also entered the officialdom. He gradually rose through the ranks until he became the governor of Tan.
Li Feng clamored to go, but Li Yan refused. He was afraid that if his identity was revealed, it would be difficult to deal with. Liu Shui just checked, and it was convenient for him to move alone, so he finally convinced Li Feng.
After nightfall, Liu Shui put on his night clothes, wrapped his folding fan, and said to Li Feng: "Miss Feng'er, you go to bed early, I'm going." "A person should be careful and don't do anything casually. I'll wait for you to come back." Li Feng said. Liu Shui nodded in agreement and ran towards Xu Mansion.
Not long after, Liu Shui arrived outside the west wall of Xu Mansion and listened carefully. Everything in the courtyard was quiet. Liu Shui picked up Qinggong, jumped up the high wall, looked forward, and flew up the tallest tree nearby. Standing on the branch, Liu Shui looked around carefully.
Surrounding the big tree is a forest, and beyond the forest is a garden of more than ten acres. The garden has winding paths and rockery gardens surrounding a pond. At the end of the garden was an open space. Then there are several rows of houses, scattered in an orderly manner. There are two teams of nursing staff patrolling the open space, each team has about ten people.
After Liu Shui finished reading, he ran straight to the garden. While walking, I suddenly saw a figure running into the garden in front of me. Liu Shui thought to himself, could it be a snitch? Just as he was leading the way, he followed the shadow.
The figure walked out of the garden with three twists and turns, obviously very familiar with the path here. The man took advantage of the gap between the patrols to cross the open space, fly up the eaves, and cross the roof. Seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, he jumped out of the house and landed gently on the ground.
Liu Shui followed quietly and went to the roof. He saw that this man was very good at light work, so he was probably not an ordinary thief. Liu Shui looked down and saw a courtyard surrounded by houses. The middle of the courtyard was empty and there were a few pots of flowers and plants around it. The lights of the house opposite were bright, and there were faint sounds. After the man landed in the courtyard, he walked against the wall. After a while, I arrived at the lighted window.
The man gently poked a small hole with his finger and looked inside. After listening for a while, someone inside shouted: "Who is outside?" Then a middle-aged man rushed out from inside.
The man was startled, immediately backed away after hearing the sound, and jumped into the house. The people who rushed out of the house had already seen it and flew into the house. He was very fast, and although he struck later, he climbed onto the roof at the same time as the man, and hit the man directly with his palm.
The man didn't expect the opponent to be so fast. He didn't have time to pull out the sword on his back, so he had to use his palm to block. It was obvious that the man was not strong enough and was shot down from the roof before his palms even made contact.
Fortunately, the man reacted very quickly and flipped backwards to remove the opponent's fierce palm force, but he had already fallen into the courtyard. Hearing the commotion, many people came out soon. Suddenly the lights were all on, and the yard was like daylight. I saw that the man was also dressed like Liu Shui, wearing black clothes and a black veil, and he was surrounded. Seeing that the situation was not good, the man drew his sword and protected it in front of him.
The man stood opposite the man, with a sword in his hand. The man originally thought that the palm he just struck could at least injure the other party, but he did not expect that the other party was unhurt. He knew that the other party was not weak and could not be careless. "Who are you? You dare to break into the prefect's house at night." The man asked. "Where is old thief Xu? Tell him to come out and die!" The man said angrily, but it was a woman's voice.
Liu Shui heard the voice on the roof and recognized it was the girl Zhou Hongying he had met on the way here. At that time, when Liu Shui was passing by a barren mountain, he saw several bandits besieging a young and beautiful girl. Liu Shui stepped forward to help, and together with the girl, they beat away the bandits.
That girl was none other than Zhou Hongying. After Zhou Hongying briefly chatted with Liu Shui, she thanked Liu Shui and left in a hurry. Liu Shui often acted chivalrously and did not take this matter seriously, but he did not expect to meet her here.
Liu Shui thought that judging from the fight between Zhou Hongying and the man just now, she should be no match. Although Zhou Hongying was a little indifferent at that time, she had a relationship with Liu Shui after all. In addition, she was very beautiful, and Liu Shui had a good impression of her, so he took a piece of tile in his hand just in case.
"Huh, if you want to see your lord, you have to get through me, Lin Zhen, first." The man said, "Girl, if you know what's going on, as long as you put down your weapon, I will make you suffer less." "Dream." Zhou Hongying shouted softly, The sound was like the sword coming, piercing Lin Zhen's eyebrows.
Lin Zhen swung his sword to block, but Zhou Hongying's sword had been reversed and stabbed the opponent's chest diagonally. But she was fast, and so was the opponent. Lin Zhen's broadsword hit him just in time to cut away the incoming sword.
When the sword touched, Zhou Hongying's jaw went numb and she almost lost her sword. Zhou Hongying was shocked, but now that the situation had come to an end, she had no choice but to give it a try. But when her sword skills changed, she saw sword light flying, sword flowers blossoming, as fast as lightning, and her figure erratic, like a beautiful woman dancing. Liu Shui watched from a distance and suddenly felt that the swordsmanship was mysterious, the moves were fantastic, and the figure was graceful and pleasing to the eye.
Lin Zhen was unable to do anything to her for a moment under her sharp sword. Fortunately, she lacked internal strength and did not dare to touch Lin Zhen's sword, which greatly reduced the power of her swordsmanship, but she could not do anything to Lin Zhen. However, using the sword like this naturally consumes a lot of internal energy. After more than ten moves, Zhou Hongying showed signs of fatigue and her sword speed slowed down slightly.
Seeing that Zhou Hongying was in danger, Liu Shui immediately threw tiles at Lin Zhen. Lin Zhen was attacked and forced to retreat. Seeing this, Hongying quickly jumped onto the roof and ran forward.
When Liu Shui saw Zhou Hongying escape from danger, he ignored the shouts and screams of the people below and hurriedly followed behind. Under the moonlight, two figures ran forward, one behind the other. Liu Shui was even better at Qinggong and soon caught up with Zhou Hongying.
Liu Shui jumped up and jumped over Zhou Hongying's head, landing in front of her, and said slowly: "Miss Zhou, are you leaving without saying goodbye?"
Zhou Hongying was shocked, she quickly stopped herself, raised her sword, and shouted: "Who is it?"
Liu Shui said calmly: "Your savior."
Hongying asked in confusion: "Did you help me just now? How did you know that my surname is Zhou?"
Liu Shui said: "That's right. Without the tiles I threw, it might be difficult for you to escape."
Zhou Hongying believed that he was the one who helped her. Seeing that Liu Shui was also covering his face, he said, "Thank you very much. But since you are also covering your face, there must be some inconvenience. Then let's say goodbye and go about our own business." How about it?"
Liu Shui smiled and said: "I just want to say thank you for saving my life. How about sending it away? Miss Zhou is too stingy."
Zhou Hongying was stunned and said, "What do you want?"
Liu Shui said: "I pledge myself to you!"
"You...are talking nonsense." Zhou Hongying was so angry that her face turned red. Fortunately, it was at night and she was covered with black gauze, otherwise she would have been so embarrassed.
"Haha, I see you are nervous, I am just joking with you. Even if you are willing, I dare not accept it." Liu Shui said and took off the black cloth.
Zhou Hongying took a closer look under the moonlight and called out: "So it's you?"
Liu Shui said: "I didn't expect it!" Zhou Hongying also pulled down the black gauze and said: "There is an abandoned house in front, let's go there to talk!" Liu Shui agreed.
The two of them came to the hut together, and there happened to be some trash inside. Liu Shui lit the dry firewood with a fire stick and made a small bonfire. Zhou Hongying's fair and round face looked particularly charming against the firelight, and Liu Shui couldn't help but be stunned.
