Feiyun nodded and said, "There is indeed something I need to ask for help from my senior. Please give me some advice." After saying that, he asked Liangchen to tell Deng Wei what he had encountered and asked him if he was willing to continue to help him.
Deng Wei had actually heard about Lan Xing a long time ago, but he didn't care. He has no covetous intentions and naturally does not want to get involved in this matter. Only now did he know that Lan Xing was actually Feiyun's fiancée, and that the treasure was completely made up out of thin air. He immediately expressed that he believed in Feiyun and was willing to help.
Feiyun also asked Deng Wei to recommend a few people so that they could be hired in times of difficulty in the future. Deng Wei thought for a while before recommending a person. He also heard that this person was very good in martial arts, especially light kung fu, and had almost no rivals in the world.
Deng Wei also said that this man only started to appear in the world last year. Because of his strong martial arts and outstanding lightness skills, he rarely interacted with others. As a result, people in the world don't know much about him. He is very mysterious and is known as the master thief.
It is said that this thief particularly liked flowers, so he planted many flowers on his island to ensure that he could enjoy them all year round. For example, peach blossoms in spring, lotus flowers in summer, chrysanthemums in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter. This thief doesn't commit many crimes, but every time he commits a crime, he will secretly help those very poor people. He has very high martial arts skills, light kung fu
When Meimei heard this, she hurriedly asked: "Chief escort, do you know where this island is?"
Deng Wei shook his head and said: "I'm afraid no one knows this. These situations were heard by the escorts when we were traveling as escorts."
Liangchen thought for a while and asked: "Chief escort, where did this master thief commit crimes in chronological order? We may deduce where his home is from the place where he committed crimes."
Deng Wei told Feiyun and others that the first time this thief committed a crime was in Hongdu. One night, Ting sneaked into the prefect's house and stole a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. He also left a note claiming to forgive the corrupt prefect. This prefect was indeed very greedy and ruthless, and had killed many people. There were many guards in the prefect's mansion, but no one noticed anyone coming in. Afterwards, the magistrate strictly ordered the Yamen to arrest him quickly, but the result was naturally nothing.
Soon, the thief went to Suzhou to commit another crime. It was the home of a very wealthy businessman in Suzhou, but this businessman was extremely stingy and had never done anything generous. The thief broke into his house at night and stole a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. He also left eight words: "Shadowless thief, here for a visit." The bodyguards hired by the merchant with huge sums of money also knew nothing about it. Early the next morning, when the poor people in Suzhou opened their doors, they saw some silver coins placed in front of their doors. Since then, the reputation of the Shadowless Thief has spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River.
This spring, this thief committed a crime in Jingzhou. In the countryside of Jingzhou, he stole from a tyrannical landowner who was ruthless and oppressed the people for the sake of wealth. This landowner did many evil things. Although this thief did not hurt the landowner's life, he made him a eunuch. Of course, he still left the same note. The master thief distributed the ill-gotten wealth to the poorest man in Jingzhou, and from then on the people called him the thief! Deng Wei finally said: "It is difficult to judge whether these things are true."
After listening to Deng Wei's story, Feiyun admired the behavior of this thief very much, because everything he did was chivalrous and righteous. However, Gao Jiedushi had just announced that he was going to execute the bully in the gambling house. Logically speaking, Gao Jiedushi was not a corrupt official, so he had no reason to do anything.
The thief's behavior this time was puzzling. Apart from taking away some gold and silver jewelry, he left no other demands. But what makes Feiyun depressed is that he still can't find out where this thief lives. Feiyun wanted to ask him to come out to escort Lan Xing, and A'an returned to Nanyue safely.
Liangchen thought for a while, but couldn't tell, so he had to say to Feiyun: "Brother, it seems that we need to ask more people for advice. Little sister doesn't believe that no one in the huge Tanzhou City knows!"
Liangchen was reminding Feiyun that Deng Wei might know this. Feiyun reacted, said goodbye to Deng Wei immediately, and asked him to continue to help find out the news. Deng Wei knew that Feiyun wanted to go to the Beggar Clan, so after agreeing to Feiyun's request, he didn't hold him back and sent him to the gate himself.
After leaving the escort agency, Liangchen saw Feiyun's brows furrowed and unhappy, and he quickly persuaded him: "Brother, don't worry. If we really can't find out the information, we will offer a large reward. Maybe someone will be greedy for money and provide information. What kind of thief saw this? , will naturally take the initiative to contact us and make a clear request. Then we can invite him to join the team escorting Lan Xing!" Lian'er and Meimei also took turns to persuade Feiyun. Feiyun knew that they had good intentions and didn't want him to be too sad. He thanked them for their concern.
The four of them walked and talked, and soon they arrived at the Beggars' Gang branch. Zhu Zheng, the helmsman of the Beggar Clan branch, learned about this and hurriedly invited them in to talk. At this time, Lu Rover couldn't stop, and he went to other sub-helms.
After greeting each other, Zhu Zheng thought Feiyun was here to ask about the gambling house, so he told Feiyun that he had not found any useful information yet. After Feiyun told Zhu Zheng about his hard work, he asked about the thief. Zhu Zheng was stunned and asked Feiyun how he provoked this moody villain.
Liangchen then told Zhu Zheng about Feiyun's thoughts, and Zhu Zheng knew about the same as Deng Wei. Zhu Zheng told Feiyun that this godless thief walked alone and had no bad deeds. The Beggar Clan doesn't pay much attention to such people in the world, it just needs to be understood. However, Zhu Zheng promised Feiyun that he would notify disciples from all over the Beggar Clan as soon as possible and search for this person with all their heart. Feiyun was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Zhu Zheng. Feiyun and Zhu Zheng chatted for a few more words and then left.
After leaving the Beggar Clan, Liangchen saw that Feiyun was in an even worse mood and was speechless, so he said, "Brother, don't worry. I thought about it carefully and it's actually not a big deal."
Feiyun asked strangely: "Why do you say that?" Liangchen replied: "Isn't it just to ask someone to help you? Just ask someone else. We still have time to think about other people."
Feiyun thought for a while and said: "Although what you said is reasonable. But when I think about it, I feel very useless!"
Liangchen raised his head and looked around, smiled slightly, and said: "Brother, I just figured it out. In my estimation, this person may be nearby now, watching our every move. If we seem to care too much about this person, it will actually Let him watch the joke and feel proud. If we don't take this matter seriously, he will feel like a heavy punch on cotton. If he feels uncomfortable, he will definitely take action, and this will Give us a chance!”
It was almost noon. In the summer in Jiangnan, the weather was extremely hot, and people were walking in a hurry on the street. Feiyun was awakened by Liangchen's words and said, "Then what good countermeasures do you have?"
Liangchen said softly: "Brother, it's too hot. I'm hungry and tired too. It's time for you to take us to dinner!" Liangchen said while winking at Feiyun. Feiyun knew that she had a new idea, and when he saw that Lian'er had already left, she was out of breath. It's just that although Lian'er was sweating profusely, she was a little embarrassed to bring it up, but she resisted saying it.
Feiyun smiled slightly and said immediately: "Not far ahead is the Yanyu Restaurant. I remember that this restaurant is quite famous. We just went over to have a taste." Liangchen was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, brother!"
Feiyun turned to look at Lian'er and said with concern: "Lian'er, you didn't even say a word when you were tired!" Lian'er lowered her head shyly and whispered: "Brother, I'm fine, I can do it!"
Feiyun took her hand, slowly regained his strength, and said softly: "Stop talking, let's go to eat and let you have a good rest. You are different from the two of them. They have been accustomed to traveling around with me. .”
When they arrived at the door of Yanyu Restaurant, the person guarding the door was the girl like Hua. It turned out that Yunmeng had sold the restaurant. When she saw Feiyun arriving, she hurriedly and enthusiastically invited the four people into the building. After a while, Xiwu walked over to greet him and said: "Young Master Lin, the lady was talking about you just now. I didn't expect you to come. I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. Please come and sit in the backyard for a while, and I will arrange the food and drinks." .”
Liangchen joked: "Girl Xiwu, I didn't expect you to be the shopkeeper. But we have to prepare delicious food, so we can't just send us away!"
Xiwu said repeatedly: "Miss Liangchen is joking. Even if I lend you ten more courages, I won't dare to deal with your love!"
While everyone was chatting, they came to the backyard living room, where they saw Yunmeng and Shihua talking. Yunmeng saw that it was Feiyun and hurriedly asked them to sit down. Si Wu immediately retreated to take care of business, while Si Hua went to prepare the banquet.
Yunmeng asked Feiyun if he had found anything in the Beggar Clan, and Feiyun shook his head. Liangchen told Yunmeng that she was already starving and asked Yunmeng to treat her well. Yunmeng smiled slightly and agreed.
Soon, Si Hua came over and invited everyone to sit down. After sitting down, Yunmeng wanted to talk more about things, but was distracted by Liangchen. Liangchen was in high spirits and kept asking for beautiful scenery and Lian'er taking turns to toast Yunmeng. Under her leadership, everyone drank happily and immediately put aside their worries. They seemed not to remember Lan Xing's incident. As a result, Feiyun, Liangchen, Meijing and others got drunk. Yunmeng was greatly surprised, Feiyun had never been like this before. But she thought Feiyun was drowning his sorrows in wine, so she hurriedly asked someone to help him into a carriage and sent him back to the government office.
Feiyun and others staggered out of the carriage and walked into the backyard living room of the government office. Princess Gao Dan was talking to Commander Gao Jiedushi. When she saw Fei Yun coming in drunkenly, she suddenly became furious. she
Gao Dan said coldly: "Young Master Lin, you are so excited. You get so drunk in broad daylight! Do you know that something big has happened to the government office again?"
Feiyun and others saw that Gao Dan looked serious and did not look like he was joking, so they suddenly sobered up. Liangchen asked hurriedly: "Princess Gaodan, what happened?"
Princess Gaodan snorted, sat down angrily, turned away, and ignored it. Gao Jiedushi couldn't see it, so he said: "Young Master Lin, when we were going to the execution ground, someone attacked the prison in the government office, rescued Zhu Xiong, and killed and injured many soldiers."
It turned out that after Feiyun, Liangchen and others escorted Zhu Ba out of the government office, Wu Wei took the palace guards and quietly came to the government office in disguise. They were begged by Magistrate Zhu and had no choice but to agree to rescue Zhu Xiong. Of course, they didn't want to offend Gao Jiedushi publicly, so they had to do it secretly.
As soon as Feiyun and the others were gone, Wuwei and his gang rushed into the government office and went straight to the cell. At this time, there were only twenty or thirty ordinary soldiers guarding the cell, who were no match for them. In less than a moment, all the soldiers were dead or injured. Wu Wei and others rushed into the cell, rescued Zhu Xiong, and left calmly. Other guards from the government office came over and saw that the prisoner had been rescued. Their faces changed with fright, and they hurriedly ran to report to Gao Jiedushi.
At this time, Gao Qiong Jiedushi had finished beheading Zhu Ba and was on his way back. Gao Jiedu made Bao, surprised, and ran back. Fortunately, the purpose of Wuwei this time was to rescue Zhu Xiong, and he only knocked out the guards and did not harm their lives. Of course, this is also because Wuwei does not want to have a grudge with Gao Jiedu and becomes cautious. They did not dare to stay in the government office for too long. Once they were entangled by Feiyun, it would not be that easy to escape.
After Feiyun and others heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned. They didn't expect that this happened. Liangchen was confused for a moment and then said: "Sir, this is the little girl's fault. I only thought that the other party would rob the court, but I didn't expect that they actually gave up on Niu Zhuba and cared more about Zhu Xiong!" Liangchen was indeed very upset. Because she should have expected this outcome. Compared to Zhu Ba, Zhu Xiong is undoubtedly more important to Yang Xuelian.
Although Zhu Ba had some strength in Tanzhou City, after two battles, all the masters in the gambling house had been killed. For Zhu Zhifu, Zhu Ba no longer has much effect. Zhu Ba's loyalty is naturally out of the question, and White Lotus and Red Lotus are different. Their martial arts are no worse than those of the Niu family and his son. As far as Zhu Zhifu is concerned, the only purpose is to rescue Zhu Xiong. Seeing that Zhu Ba had attracted everyone's attention, Magistrate Zhu avoided the situation and took the opportunity to rescue Zhu Xiong.
Only then did Liangchenchuan realize that his plans had been successful recently, so he underestimated the enemy and did not think carefully.
Feiyun saw that Liangchen was upset and blamed himself, and couldn't bear it, so he quickly comforted him. Gao Jiedushi also said: "Liangchen, don't blame yourself too much. No one can guarantee that the plan will be perfect. Besides, the one who was rescued was just Zhu Xiong, a playboy, and it will not affect the overall situation. You don't have to worry about it. Go up." It is indeed inconvenient for Gao Jiedushi to shift the responsibility to Liangchen, which would make him appear to be irresponsible.
After all, Liangchen is just a girl of Feiyun, not a court official. Her willingness to help with ideas is commendable. How can we expect her not to make any mistakes, not to mention that she will still have to ask for advice in the future. Gao Jiedushi has experienced hundreds of battles, but he has never thought of this. He is not from a martial arts background, but has rich experience. Compared to Princess Gao Dan, she is naturally much more considerate and reasonable.
Seeing that her father refused to blame Liangchen, Princess Gaodan couldn't continue to talk about Liangchen. Since she was the princess and had trouble getting along with Liangchen, it would naturally not sound good if word spread about it. Gao Dan suppressed his anger and asked Feiyun: "Where have you been? Is there any news?"
