In Jiangyuan County, after two days of trekking, Tang Yu, Han Ziyuan, Yang Yunfan, Ye Li and others finally arrived in Jiangyuan County. The inspection at the city gate was also stricter than in the past. After everyone was released, they entered the city and handed over food, grass and weapons to the reception staff in the city.
Since Han Ziyuan was a court official, he had to go to the Jiangyuan government office to hand over errands, so he said goodbye to everyone and went to the government office under the protection of a group of bodyguards.
The remaining people planned to find an inn. Due to the large number of people dispatched by Fanyin Pavilion this time, plus Tang Yu and his entourage of carriages and horses, they found a larger inn and booked the entire second floor to stay. .
After everyone settled down, it was almost midnight, so they ate some food in the inn.
As the war was approaching, supplies in the city had to be centrally managed, so there was a lack of movement below, and the food in the inn was not as rich as before. After everyone ate hastily, they returned to their rooms to rest.
Yang Yunfan was practicing the selfless mind method taught by Master Zihe in the guest room, breathing in and out, and regulating his breath.
Chen Zishan, who was originally in the same room with him, went to chat with the two hall masters Lei Hu and Dian Liang of the Fanyin Pavilion. Chen Zishan had already heard about the deeds of the Fanyin Pavilion and was very interested. Along the way, he also pestered the two hall masters to tell stories about the rivers and lakes in Sichuan.
While Yang Yunfan was practicing, there was a sudden knock on the door. When he opened the door, it turned out to be Tang Yu.
"It turns out it's Senior Brother Tang. He's not asleep yet. Come in and sit down." Yang Yunfan said with a smile.
Tang Yu also smiled and said, "You didn't disturb Junior Brother Yang's rest, did you?"
"No, my senior brother went to find someone to chat with. I am alone and practicing my skills." Yang Yunfan said with a smile.
Entering the house, Yang Yunfan poured Tang Yu a cup of tea, and the two sat down to drink tea. Tang Yu said: "Junior Brother Yang, are you going to defend the city with the army together with everyone from Fanyin Pavilion?"
"Yes, the master of Fanyin Pavilion, Wang Sunai, is an old friend of my Yang family, and he once saved my life. He is old and has old illnesses, so he cannot come to defend the city, so he sent Senior Brother Ye and others to come with him. I will defend the city on his behalf. I have a military position. Although my military position is low, I dare not forget about the country because of my humble position. Besides, my Yang family has been fighting for the country for generations, so it is my duty to defend the country for the country."
Tang Yu nodded, sighed and said: "Poor Feng'er came all the way to Chengdu for you. She only thought you were in Fanyin Pavilion at this time, but didn't know you were in Jiangyuan County. If she knew you were in Jiangyuan, she would I’m afraid she’ll come after me too.”
Yang Yunfan was overjoyed when he heard this. It turned out that Miss Feng'er really came to Chengdu Mansion just for him. When he heard that Tang Yu said that Feng'er also came to Chengdu Mansion, he had thought so too, but he was not sure.
But then he frowned again and thought about what he said for a while: "The war here is in chaos now, and Jiangyuan County is the front line of the decisive battle. We can't let Miss Feng'er come here."
"I'm going to edit a book, tell her about it," Tang Yu said.
The time came to September 26th. The weather on this day was a bit gloomy. The sun appeared and disappeared in the dark clouds. The sky, which had not rained for several months, seemed to be preparing for a heavy rain, and the dry earth was also quiet. Waiting for the rain to moisten it.
At the head of the city of Jiangyuan County, Lu Bin, the 12th Route Inspection Inspector, and Zhang Qi, the Xichuan Du Inspection Inspector, stood at the top of the city. Lu Bin looked at the crowded rebel camp twenty miles outside the city, and then at the frequently mobilized troops in the city. The soldiers and the civilians who had been recruited to carry supplies and equipment for the army frowned and said nothing.
Zhang Qi spoke confidently from the side: "Master Lu, although the rebels have gathered so many people in such a short period of time, most of these people are a mob. I see that many of them don't even have weapons. How can a group of disaster victims have such power?" What kind of combat power? After the army is reorganized, the general will lead his army to overwhelm them."
"General Zhang, don't underestimate the enemy. According to rumors, Wang Xiaobo is very skilled in martial arts and good at controlling his subordinates. There are also some capable people in the rebels. Then the leaders of the Kowloon Society should not be underestimated. We should occupy the strong city As for the defenders, there are many rebels and they consume a lot of food and grass. Let's see who can consume more food than the other. When the food is exhausted, it will be the time for my army to dispatch."
While Lu Bin and Zhang Qi were discussing strategies to defend against the enemy at the top of the city, Yang Yunfan, Tang Yu, Ye Li, and the two hall masters of Fanyin Pavilion were hiding in an alleyway and quietly sneaking into a dilapidated courtyard. And go.
It turned out that early that morning, when Yang Yunfan and others were having breakfast at the inn, Lei Hu and Dian Liang, the two hall masters of Fanyin Pavilion who had eaten, went to the street to buy medicine. When they walked out of the medicine shop, they found two familiar people. Walking towards the dilapidated courtyard located in the alley on the right side of the long street.
Lei Hu looked at the two people walking in front. He was stunned for a moment and then reacted first. He said to Dian Liang in shock: "Fourth, are those two people... are they Meng Nan and Meng Yuhang from the Kowloon Association?"
Although Meng Nan and Meng Yuhang have lived in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain for more than ten years, Leihu Dianliang followed Wang Su and fought with the Kowloon Society several times during the heyday of the Kowloon Society. Naturally, he was very familiar with several leaders of the Kowloon Society. Therefore, Lei Hu was very sure of their identities when he first saw them.
Noriliang was also surprised when he heard this. After looking at it carefully, he said in shock: "Yes, that's right, it's them. Why are they here?" Then the two looked at each other and thought of the terrible reason.
Leihu Dianliang followed quietly behind. After confirming that Meng Nan and the two entered the dilapidated courtyard, Leihu asked Dianliang to monitor them secretly, while he rushed towards the inn.
Several people in the inn were shocked when they heard the news. Everyone thought of Meng Nan and Meng Yuhang's purpose of sneaking into the city. So everyone followed Lei Hu towards the alleyway.
As they walked forward, Ye Li asked: "Master Lei, are you sure they are Meng Nan and Meng Yuhang from the Kowloon Society?"
"It's unmistakable. After dealing with them for so many years, I can recognize them even when they turn into ashes." Lei Hu said with great certainty. Everyone no longer hesitated and ran away.
The dilapidated courtyard is located on the right side of the long street. Because no one has lived there for a long time, the courtyard walls are in dilapidated condition. You can see the situation inside the courtyard from the outside.
There are overgrown weeds in the courtyard that are as tall as half a person. The paint on the dilapidated door panel of the small courtyard has long since fallen off and is stained with traces.
After everyone gathered with Dian Liang, they quietly surrounded the small courtyard. Yang Yunfan was the first to kick open the courtyard door and rush into the courtyard.
When Meng Nan and Meng Yuhang heard the change in the house, they reacted very quickly. They drew their weapons and broke out of the window, trying to escape through the courtyard wall. However, the small courtyard had already been surrounded. Dian Liang, who was guarding outside the courtyard wall, saw Meng Nan Er. The man jumped out of the wall and drew his knife to fight with him. The crowd also surrounded the two men from all sides.
Meng Nan and Meng Yuhang in the circle also felt desperate when they saw that they were surrounded. Lei Hu said from the side: "Meng Nan, Meng Yuhang, your two brothers cannot escape this time. If you catch them quickly, you may avoid death."
