Chapter 114
Suddenly, a voice behind him said, "Who is yours? Why are you here to mourn Lord Huang?" Shen Zonglin was shocked: How could Cao Wei come here? Yes, the person who spoke was Cao Wei. Fortunately, Shen Zonglin did not show his true face after applying makeup, so Cao Wei could not identify who it was. Shen Zonglin turned to look at Cao Wei and smiled and said, "Who is yours? Why are you asking such a question?" Cao Wei said, "Cao Wei, how dare you ask your name of Gao?" Shen Zonglin said, "It turns out to be the eight famous arresters. One of the Captain Cao, who has been looking back for a long time! In the lower part, he is an old friend of Lord Huang in the capital. What a shameful name." Seeing that the other party was unwilling to show his true name, Cao Wei couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Since you are unwilling to tell the real name, you are not welcome here, so please come back." Shen Zonglin said, "I came to worship my old friend from afar, but I didn't expect to be driven away by Lord Cao. I was so disappointed." As he said that, he waved the folding fan more powerfully, deliberately trying to attract Cao Wei's attention.
Cao Wei disagreed and said, "Hmph, if you really come to worship Lord Huang, why would you come empty-handed? Who are you? What's the purpose?" As he said, he pulled out the Miao knife with a "wow" and pointed the tip of the knife at Shen Zonglin and asked. Shen Zonglin knew in his heart: there was no reaction to the folding fan. It seemed that Cao Wei didn't know the secret of the treasure! That's so good! Shen Zonglin smiled and said, "Since Lord Cao is so hospitalizing, then I'm going to walk down." As he said that, he was about to turn around and leave.
Cao Wei shouted loudly, jumped towards Shen Zonglin, and stabbed a knife in the air. Shen Zonglin hurriedly avoided it. Cao Wei then stabbed more than ten moves, all of which were avoided by Shen Zonglin one by one. Cao Wei continued to use his tricks, forcing Shen Zonglin to retreat step by step. Shen Zonglin wandered around Huang Xinglong's tomb, and Cao Wei also followed him to chase him. Suddenly, Cao Wei saw a stone in the corner of the tomb raised, as if someone had moved it. He asked while using it: "Haha, have you ever touched Lord Huang's tomb?" Shen Zonglin said nothing, just "hehe" He smiled proudly. Cao Wei was furious: "I didn't even let go of Lord Huang's tomb, and said that he was here to worship Lord Huang. I think he was here to make trouble on purpose! You must know Cao's power!" As he said that, he even activated his skills and stabbed Shen Zonglin at the vital point. Shen Zonglin wandered around and returned to the place where the stone was raised, turned around and kicked the stone towards Cao Wei. Cao Wei hurriedly avoided it, and Shen Zonglin ran around. When Cao Wei avoided the stone and looked at it closely, Shen Zonglin had already gone far away and had to stop and sigh.
Shen Zonglin ran back to Jiang Inn and changed his face to come out again. He deliberately took out the folding fan, and while walking on the street, he waved the folding fan to the wind. Walking to the "Jiujiang Grand Restaurant", he saw that the three-story restaurant was very lively and crowded with people, and shouting all over the street. He knew that this restaurant must be among the best in Jiujiang. So he stood by the gate of Jiujiang Grand Restaurant and looked at the pedestrians coming and going. He always waved the folding fan, as if he was deliberately attracting the attention of others. The pedestrians who were coming and going saw a slightly ugly young man standing in front of the door of the other person's restaurant, staring at everyone, and they all stopped and watched, and even laughed secretly. Shen Zonglin didn't understand other people's these things, just shaking his folding fan and letting others point fingers.
After swaying everywhere in Jiujiang City, it was not until the evening that I returned to Wangjiang Inn. I lay alone in front of the window, thinking about my behavior of swaying around today. I felt both funny and full of expectations. I hope that the person I was looking forward to can come to open my heart tonight. Gradually, I fell asleep in a daze.
After a while, two figures appeared in Wangjiang Inn, one tall and one short. It was Wei Xiaopeng and Wei Xiaojuan. Wei Xiaopeng pushed the little sister and asked her to walk forward, but Wei Xiaojuan was hesitant and refused to step forward. Wei Xiaopeng glared at him. Seeing that the eldest brother was angry, Wei Xiaojuan had to walk forward and come to Shen Zonglin's door, and listened to the sound inside the room. After hearing for a while, he saw that the house was quiet, so he nodded to the eldest brother. Wei Xiaopeng smiled proudly, came to the door, and pushed it gently, and the door opened. The two were surprised and happy, looking at each other, Wei Xiaopeng waved to enter the room, so the two walked into the room gently.
After entering the room, the two saw Shen Zonglin still lying in front of the window, still as if they had just seen secretly outside the window, and the folding fan was on the windowsill at hand. So, the two looked at each other again, and understood what they meant in their hearts, and continued to walk forward gently. They walked behind Shen Zonglin, and saw that he was still lying on the same lie, as if no one appeared behind him. Wei Xiaojuan looked at his elder brother embarrassedly, and Wei Xiaopeng nodded to move quickly. She had to reach out to get the folding fan on the windowsill. Hold her breath
, it was so easy to hold it in his hand, his heartbeat was about to pop out. Suddenly, Wei Xiaojuan shouted "Ah" and his hand was taken by Shen Zonglin. Wei Xiaopeng hurriedly stepped back. Seeing Shen Zonglin turning around, he still pinched Wei Xiaojuan's hand, and said softly: "My sister Juan, I'm waiting for you so hard, why are you here now?" Wei Xiaojuan was at a loss and dared not look at him, and lowered her head shyly. Wei Xiaopeng shouted: "Shen Zonglin, it turned out that you deliberately set up a trap for us to get into it. It's so despicable!"
Shen Zonglin ignored Wei Xiaopeng and pulled Wei Xiaojuan in front of him, looked down at her, and saw her frowning and her cherry lips moved slightly, and she still felt pitiful, and couldn't help but say softly: "Xiaojuan, do you want a folding fan? Come on, Brother Zong will give you it." As he said that, he put the folding fan in her other hand. Wei Xiaojuan took the folding fan, spread it out with a "wow", carefully looked at the landscape painting above, and asked, "Brother Zong, is this the folding fan stole from Huang Xinglong's tomb?" Shen Zonglin did not comment, but just said softly: "My sister Juan, what else do you want, Brother Zong can give it to you." Wei Xiaopeng said aside: "Shen Zonglin, I want your neck head, can I give it?" Shen Zonglin looked at Wei Xiaojuan and asked, "Is it true?"
Wei Xiaojuan finally turned her eyes from the folding fan to look at Shen Zonglin. Seeing his eyes full of infinite tenderness, she couldn't help but feel moved, and said, "Brother Zong, why do I want your head? That's the eldest brother joking with you." Shen Zonglin said, "What do you want?" Wei Xiaojuan said, "Brother Zong, can you forgive me?" Shen Zonglin said, "Brother Zong can forgive you in anything." Wei Xiaojuan said, "If you can forgive me, then let's take the folding fan to find the treasure and enjoy the glory and wealth together, okay?"
Wei Xiaopeng said, "But, Shen Daxia, you have to be considered as marrying into our Wei family." Wei Xiaojuan said, "No, Brother Zong, you don't have to marry into the Wei family. Just go far away from us and leave those people." Shen Zonglin said, "My sister Juan, there are countless treasures. Even if my senior brother and sister are added, we will never be able to eat or drink for several lifetimes." Wei Xiaopeng said, "Shen Daxia, if the treasure is just for food and drink, then what can we find? Do you think we brothers and sisters are like people who can't afford to eat?"
Shen Zonglin asked in surprise: "What are you trying to seize treasure?" Wei Xiaojuan looked at Shen Zonglin and wanted to say something. Wei Xiaopeng said: "Let the ancestors shine and revitalize the prestige of my Wei family." Shen Zonglin looked at them in confusion and asked: "Revitalize the prestige? How powerful did the Wei family have in the past?" Wei Xiaopeng said: "The ancestors were also confidants of Emperor Jianwen and have been following Emperor Jianwen to Huguang. Unfortunately, they were excluded and persecuted by the five major guard families and fell into the devil's cave." Shen Zonglin said
: "So that's it. The dead are gone, why bother entangling the grievances of the predecessors to this day." Wei Xiaopeng said: "How do outsiders know the mood of people inside the bureau? It's easy to say it, but how easy is it to do it? If you can't promote the Wei family in this life, you will be a son of man." Shen Zonglin looked at Wei Xiaojuan and murmured: "Sister Juan, so you would rather leave Brother Zong and let Brother Zong miss him and ignore him, but only care about your glorious ancestors?" Wei Xiaojuan hurriedly turned her head away and did not dare to look at Shen Zonglin.
Wei Xiaopeng said, "Little sister, throw the folding fan over." Wei Xiaojuan couldn't help but throw it over. Wei Xiaopeng took it over and checked it carefully, and said, "Shen Zonglin, is this folding fan really taken out of Huang Xinglong's tomb?" Shen Zonglin said, "That's right." Wei Xiaopeng said, "You know where the landscape is in the painting?" Shen Zonglin said, "I don't understand, you are knowledgeable, but you can identify where the landscape is in the painting?" Wei Xiaopeng said, "Little sister, since you have the folding fan, then stay here to accompany Shen Daxia. Brother solves the mystery in the painting and comes to find you." As he said, Wei Xiaopeng turned around and left. Wei Xiaojuan wanted to follow his elder brother, but was brought into his arms by Shen Zonglin. He felt that his broad chest and rapid breathing were sore and unable to move.
The next day, Shen Zonglin and Wei Xiaojuan visited the Yangtze River together. After visiting the Yangtze River, they also visited the major lakes of Mount Lu and Jiujiang. The scenery was infinite and tender, and the two enjoyed a rare happy time. After a few days, they had long forgotten everything and things outside the two.
Although it was midsummer, the wind and air on the Yangtze River were so cool that it was so comfortable that it was lingering. Shen Zonglin and Wei Xiaojuan were drinking wine in the wine shop by the river and enjoying the night view by the river, but suddenly heard a "dong" sound, and a flying knife was inserted on the table in front of him. The two looked at each other, looked at the flying knife in surprise, and now they still had a note. They could guess from the flying knife that it was shot by Yang Zhonglin. Looking up, there was no trace of Yang Zhonglin? Shen Zonglin pulled out the flying knife, picked up the note and looked with Wei Xiaojuan: At midnight tonight, the white sand beach in Jiangzhou Island took Wei Xiaopeng's life. After reading it, the two looked at each other in surprise, and could not understand how Wei Xiaopeng fell into Yang Zhonglin's hands.
Wei Xiaojuan asked in surprise: "Brother Zong, why is the eldest brother in Yang Zhonglin's hands?" Shen Zonglin was full of melancholy, shook his head, and said, "Don't Wei Daxia go to find the treasure? How could it fall into Yang Zhonglin's hands?" Wei Xiaojuan said, "Jiangzhou Island is in the middle of the Yangtze River, we have to go out as soon as possible, and we must rescue the eldest brother." The two of them were not in the same direction at all, and Shen Zonglin had to nod to deal with Wei Xiaojuan. Wei Xiaojuan asked, "Brother Zong, why are you unscrupulous?" Shen Zonglin woke up after being asked by her, looking at her, and smiled and said, "I'm just worried about Wei Daxia. We have to consider how to rescue Wei Daxia." Wei Xiaojuan
Juan knew that she was resourceful and was very happy at the moment. She kept looking at him and waiting for him to tell him a plan to save people. But Shen Zonglin said, "Where is the Baisha Beach in Jiangzhou? Yang Zhonglin must have the intention to choose this place." Wei Xiaojuan said, "Brother Zong, we must rescue the eldest brother." Shen Zonglin said, "Yes, let's go out now. After all, Yang Zhonglin's martial arts skills are very good, and it may not be his opponent with the power of me. What's more, Wei Daxia is in his hands. If he arrived at Baisha Beach early, he could check the surrounding environment first, and maybe he could think of a way to rescue him." Wei Xiaojuan nodded in agreement, but it seemed that Shen Zonglin had no good way to save people at the moment.
The two asked the shop where Baisha Beach in Jiangzhou was. The waiter said: "Jiangzhou Island is an isolated island in the middle of the Yangtze River. Here you can go east along the river. You can go to Jiangzhou Wharf, where you can take a boat to Jiangzhou Island. But it is too late today, and the river flows rapidly recently. I wonder if there are still passenger boats willing to send two people across the island. Baisha Beach is located at the westmost point of Jiangzhou Island. After landing on the island, you can reach it. The white sand is endless and it is a beautiful view on the island." Shen Zonglin and Wei Xiaojuan asked
After clearing the direction, he walked along the Yangtze River and arrived at Jiangzhou Wharf and saw more than ten large and small ships docked on the shore. When asked about one of the small boats, the boatman shook his head and said, "It's hard to move today, and the water flow is turbulent, which is very dangerous." He then asked one of the big boats. It turned out that this big boat belonged to the government, and the only one who lived on the boat was a hard worker. The boat was shaking its head and the boat was large and unmanned to go to Jiangzhou Island. After asking each other, no boatman was willing to send them across the river.
When the two were helpless, they saw a small boat approaching not far away. A big man was shaking his rudder and supporting the boat, asking loudly: "Two guests, are you going to Jiangzhou Island?" Shen Zonglin said: "That's right, can you please send me a ride?" The big man said: "Only, Wu Laosan's boat dares to send two people over at this Jiangzhou wharf, but it costs ten taels of silver." It turned out that the big man was called Wu Laosan. After hearing this, Shen Zonglin immediately took out a stack of Daming Baobao from his arms, shaking in the wind, rustling, and laughed: "Ten taels of silver are nothing, but I don't know if Wu San wants Baobao?" Wu Laosan's eyes immediately opened wide when he saw Baobao's eyes and shouted: "As long as it is a real Baobao, Wu Laosan will be in his bag." As he said that, he rode the boat to the dock and asked the two to get on the boat.
After getting on the boat, Shen Zonglin directly pulled out two treasure notes of ten taels from a stack, handed them to Wu Laosan, and said, "Brother Wu, this is twenty taels, which is considered a deposit. There are fifty taels here. I will give them to you when you send us back here." Wu Laosan was overjoyed and took them, shaking the two treasure notes in his hand in the wind. Hearing the rustling sound, he knew that the treasure notes were real. He said, "Master, I think this journey is never simple to give Wu Laosan such a heavy reward. Please tell me, Wu Laosan didn't frown at all." Shen Zonglin said, "That's right, it's never simple. You can shake the boat to the heart of the river first and then tell you." In his hand, Wu Laosan shook the boat very strongly and drove to the heart of the river quickly.
When the boat reached the middle of the river, Shen Zonglin said, "Brother Wu, please sail the boat to Baisha Beach." Wu Laosan said, "Uncle, Baisha Beach is at the head of Jiangzhou Island, facing the waves of Yangtze River. The water flows are the most rapid, and it is very difficult for the boat to reach there." Shen Zonglin smiled and said, "Do you think it is worth trying to drive there for twenty taels of silver?" Wu Zonglin said, "Didn't it be said that fifty taels, why did it become twenty taels again?" Shen Zonglin said, "Twenty taels are just a reward for sailing, and the other thirty taels have to do one thing." After hearing this, Wu Laosan shook the boat to welcome the water, and asked, "Please tell me about the thirty taels of silver." Shen Zonglin said, "I can't tell you what to do now. When I see the white beach, I will know what to do. Then I will tell you how to do it." After Wu Laosan responded, he continued to rock the boat to the river.
Although the river flows fast, Wu Laosan was as powerful as a cow and was still driving faster while shaking the boat. Moreover, he also had his own driving skills, sometimes straight and sometimes slanted, often changing the routes to let the boat avoid the most turbulent part of the water. Shen Zonglin and Wei Xiaojuan stood at the bow of the boat, watching the river water running eastward, and the river breeze blew, making his head and clothes flutter. If he hadn't thought about how to save Wei Xiaopeng, he would have enjoyed this rare trip to the heart of the river.
About one stick of incense, Wu Laosan pointed to the north and said loudly: "Two guests, there is Baisha Beach." At this time, it is still a distance from Jiangzhou Island. The closer the island, the faster the water flows, so Wu Laosan walked the boat between the middle of the river and the island bank. Shen Zonglin and Wei Xiaojuan looked up, but saw a pile of fires burning in the center of the white beach. The wind blew the flames out more than a meter long. There was a wooden stake next to the fire, and there was a figure on the wooden stake. It was farther away and I couldn't see who it was. Shen Zonglin and Wei Xiaojuan looked at each other and understood in their hearts that the figure on the wooden stake should be Wei Xiaopeng. Wei Xiaojuan said anxiously: "Brother Zong, brother is there, what should I do to save him.
Come out?" Shen Zonglin said, "Wait a minute, you and I try their best to entangle Yang Zhonglin. Brother Wu San, after you dock the boat for a while, you will rush up and rescue the person on the wooden stake and take it to the boat. Remember, be sure not to let others show you. Otherwise, your life will be unsafe." Wu Laosan asked, "It's that simple? Master, will you have thirty taels of silver when you take this person back to Jiangzhou Wharf?" Shen Zonglin took out three treasure banknotes and stuffed them into Wei Xiaojuan's hand, and said, "My sister, after returning to Jiangzhou Wharf, I will give these three treasure banknotes to Wu Sanjun." Wei Xiaojuan asked in surprise: "Brother Zong, what about you?" Shen Zonglin said, "Brother Zong has his own arrangements, just wait for me at Jiangzhou Wharf."
At this time, the boat gradually landed. When it was still more than two meters away, Shen Zonglin took Wei Xiaojuan's hand and jumped to the white sand beach. After the two landed, they immediately rushed to the fire. They could see clearly near the place that the person tied to the wooden stake was Wei Xiaopeng. Wei Xiaojuan shouted loudly: "Brother, we are here to save you!"
