Peerless Pirates

Li Yuanzhen said angrily, "That thief Lang Boyan actually sneaked into Cuifu Temple to read the full version of Supreme Journey to the West. It happened that this guy was very good at it. He even entered the Qingjing Hall and kidnapped Xi'er. Now, he and Xi'er are in Qingjing. In the house in the east wing of the palace, I threw a trap and couldn't save him. I had to ask him what he wanted, and he asked me to find you and take you there. I said that you had disappeared long ago and there was nowhere to look for him. He said something. When will I see you, when will I let Xi'er go? I had no choice but to rush to Chengdu Mansion overnight to check for any movement. If there was no movement, I would search around. Unexpectedly, as soon as Fang entered the city, he learned that you and the prince had returned to the city. "

"This thief is simply looking for death! He failed in his conspiracy and was already destined to die. Now he has kidnapped Xi'er. He really deserves to die!" Song Zheng's voice was cold, and he was extremely resentful towards Lang Boyan. Song Zheng also knew why Lang Boyan did this. . He saved Lang Bochuan and ruined Lang Boyan's dream of being emperor. Naturally, Lang Boyan hated himself. As for why he chose Xi'er, it must have been at the dinner party at the Prince's Mansion that day that Lang Boyan saw that he had a close relationship with Li Yongxi.

But Song Zheng didn't know that there was another important reason for Lang Boyan's hatred towards him. Lang Boyan was very affectionate towards Su Chan, but Su Chan had a deep affection for Song Zheng. How could Lang Boyan not be jealous?

Xi'er naturally wanted to be rescued, but Song Zheng had concerns about how to treat Lang Boyan. Lang Boyan had to die, but not by his own hands. What if Xi'er could be rescued safely and Lang Boyan dealt with cleanly? ?

Song Zheng was thinking anxiously, but Li Yuanzhen was anxious again, "Then why are you hesitating? Why don't you go to Cuifu Temple!"

"I will go with you immediately." Song Zheng said solemnly, "I will leave a letter to the prince first."

"It's so urgent, why write a letter!" Li Yuan said angrily, "The Lang family has such a treacherous son, why should we be polite! Kill the thief and rescue Xi'er."

Song Zheng said in a deep voice, "Lang Boyan must humiliate me if he wants to find me. He won't do anything to Xi'er before he sees me. Besides, he probably doesn't know that you found me so quickly, and we still don't know." There is time to arrange it calmly. Just wait a moment!"

"You..." Li Yuanzhen's eyes widened, and he was very angry at Song Zheng for wasting time.

"If we go in such a hurry, not only will we not be able to save Xi'er, we will actually harm her. Even if we save Xi'er and kill His Highness the Second Prince of Shu without permission, I'm afraid you and I will become scapegoats. We must inform the Emperor of Shu about this!"

Song Zheng gave a brief explanation and immediately called for people to prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

Soon, the paper and ink were ready. Song Zheng wrote quickly, telling Lang Bochuan the news about Lang Boyan in Cuifuguan, and asked him to ask the Shu Emperor for instructions on how to deal with it. Song Zheng had a sense of proportion in his heart. Although Lang Boyan deserved death, he could not do it by himself. Do it yourself.

After chatting for dozens of words, Song Zheng finished it with a wave of his hand. As soon as he put the envelope in place and was about to call the steward of the Prince's Mansion, he saw the steward hurried in.

"Master Song, a man named Wang Ruoxiong asked for a meeting outside the Prince's Mansion, saying that he had something urgent to do."

Song Zheng was stunned and said, "I understand. You have to ask someone to prepare two fast horses, and I will use them immediately. In addition, you should send this letter to His Highness immediately. This matter is extremely urgent, so don't delay!"

"The letter will be sent over in a moment. It's impossible for you to leave!" the steward said awkwardly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already given instructions to take good care of Mr. Song and protect your safety."

"Stop dawdling, do it immediately!" Song Zheng said urgently, "His Royal Highness will understand after reading the letter!"

Seeing that Song Zheng's voice was serious, the manager had no choice but to agree.

The two fast horses were quickly prepared, and Song Zheng and Li Yuanzhen immediately left the Prince's Mansion. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Wang Ruoxiong patrolling outside the door, looking quite anxious.

"Wakao!"

Song Zheng greeted. Wang Ruoxiong quickly stepped forward and said, "Sir, I..."

"Let's talk about it when we get back! I'm rushing to save people now!" As he spoke, Song Zheng got on the horse.

Wang Ruoxiong was startled, "Rescue people? But you want to save Miss Chan'er?"

"Hey, do you have news about Cicada?" Song Zheng reined in his horse. Li Yuanzhen next to him naturally had his eyes on fire. He was going to save Xi'er here, but Cicada appeared there. How could he not make Li Yuanzhen upset?

"Sir, take a look at this first! Early this morning, someone nailed this piece of paper to the window lattice behind the bookstore with a dagger." Wang Ruoxiong took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Song Zheng.

Song Zheng unfolded it and saw that there was only one line of words on it, "If you want to save Su Chan, please go to Emei's room on the second floor of Yunjian Inn. Come alone! Remember!" The name below has only one word, "Jiang".

"Jiang Kui!" Song Zheng exclaimed, his brows knitted into knots.

Seeing Song Zheng stop again, Li Yuanzhen finally couldn't hold it any longer, urged his horse to approach Song Zheng, and shouted angrily, "Song Xiaolang! What on earth do you want to do!"

Song Zheng turned his head and looked at Li Yuanzhen for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle Li, don't worry, I've thought of a clever plan to rescue Xi'er safely. I promise not to hurt Xi'er even a hair!"

At this time, even Li Yuanzhen was startled and suspicious, "What's the clever plan?"

Song Zheng whispered a few words in Li Yuanzhen's ear, and Li Yuanzhen opened his eyes wide, "Is this feasible?"

"That Lang Boyan is a trapped beast. Even if I go, he will not let Xi'er go easily. He will even use Xi'er to threaten your life and mine. In that case, why don't we use our strength to try? Besides, Lang Boyan doesn't know you. If you find me so quickly, even if it's an hour or two at night, nothing will happen to Xi'er."

Li Yuanzhen hesitated for a moment, "Okay! Let me listen to you for a moment."

"You go and wait outside the west gate first. I will meet you within two hours."

Li Yuanzhen nodded, turned his horse and left.

Seeing Li Yuanzhen walking away, Song Zheng said anxiously, "Ruoxiong, where is the Yunjian Inn?"

"It's on Yiqian Street, two miles east of the Yiguan. I've sent people there to monitor it," Wang Ruoxiong said hurriedly.

"Confused!" Song Zheng shouted, hurriedly waved his riding whip, and ran south. Wang Ruoxiong was stunned for a moment, and he quickly started running after the horse. How can two legs outrun four legs? Soon, Song Zheng Disappeared from Wang Ruoxiong's sight.

Yunjian Inn is not a small one. It took less than a stick of incense for Song Zheng to find it. He jumped off his horse and handed the reins to the waiter who came to the door. "Good guard, I will use it later."

Song Zheng's attire was different from before, and he was very impressive. The waiters responded one after another and took the reins.

After adjusting his clothes, Song Zheng walked into the inn with his head held high, and was greeted by an older waiter, "Sir, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

"Don't hold on! I'm going to Mount Emei to meet friends. Please lead the way."

Seeing Song Zhengyi's bossy look, the waiter didn't dare to neglect him, "I'll take you over right away. Master, please come this way."

Emei Room is on the second floor, and the waiter and Song Zheng came to the door quickly. "Sir, guest, your guest has arrived!" the waiter shouted while knocking on the door.

After several calls, no one in the room answered. Song Zheng was impatient and stepped forward. The door suddenly opened, but it was not locked inside.

Ignoring the waiter's surprised look, Song Zheng stepped in and saw that the room was empty except for a letter left on the table, with the four words "Yours truly, Song Zheng" written on the envelope.

I quickly opened the envelope, and there were only eight words written on it, "Luxiang, east of Wuhou Temple".

Song Zheng secretly said: "As expected, Jiang Kui has always been cautious. Now is the time of great turmoil. How could he easily stay in the Yunjian Inn? I'm afraid there are already his spies outside the inn. If he wasn't one They came with soldiers and horses. I'm afraid even if I go to Luxiang, I won't be able to see Jiang Kui."

Song Zheng quickly folded the letter and stuffed it into his sleeve. He turned to the waiter who was at a loss and said, "This good friend of mine has something urgent to go out. Let me know if you are there in a hurry. He left me a letter asking me to be late." Come back later."

"Oh, that's good! That's good!" the waiter, who was afraid something might happen, replied hurriedly.

"Sorry for bothering you!" Song Zheng threw out a small ingot of broken silver, turned around and went out to go downstairs. The waiter immediately beamed with joy and kept saying behind him, "Master, please go slowly! Go slowly!" and went happily again. Bite that piece of silver.

After leaving the inn, Song Zheng rode towards the Wuhou Temple. He knew that the streets and alleys of Chengdu Prefecture had left many traces of Shu Han. Just like the "Yongxu Lane" in Jiangning, this "Lu Alley" "It is named after Liu Bei's BMW "De Lu", and others, such as Zilong Street, Wenwei Lane (Wenwei is the character of Fei Yi, a famous official of the Shu Han Dynasty), etc.

There were many pedestrians on the street. Song Zheng shouted to give way while thinking about how to deal with Jiang Kui. Jiang Kui was really at the end of his rope now. If the Shu people wanted to kill him, Qi would definitely not be able to return. He used Su Chan as a bargaining chip and made an appointment with There must have been some exchange when they met. As for whether it would be detrimental to him, Song Zheng was not sure. However, according to Jiang Kui's scheming, he should not do such a risky move again.

Wuhou Temple is not far from here. After half a stick of incense, Song Zheng reined in his horse at the entrance of Lu Lane. At the entrance of the alley, a man in white clothes dressed as an ordinary citizen waved to Song Zheng and got into the alley.

To Song Zheng's surprise, the man did not stop in the alley. Instead, he led Song Zheng through the alley, passed two more streets, and entered a small alley called Taoyuan Lane. Finally, he walked in front of an ordinary house. Stopped outside.

Song Zheng got off the horse and chuckled, "Is this right here?"

The man didn't speak, he just made a gesture of invitation. Song Zheng threw the horse rein to him and pushed the door open.

As soon as Fang entered the courtyard, the hair on Song Zheng's back stood up. In the courtyard, he saw seven or eight strong men holding sharp knives, looking at Song Zheng with eager eyes. Two others, holding hard bows, stood in front of the main door. The arrow has been cocked and is facing this way. Two of these people are vaguely familiar to me. They probably participated in the assassination operation on Qingcheng Mountain that night.

In the main hall of the house, Jiang Kui was sitting on a chair, holding a teacup in one hand and looking at Song Zheng coldly.

Song Zheng's expression remained unchanged and he smiled and said, "Sir, we are old acquaintances. Is this how you treat guests?"

"I didn't expect you to be so courageous that you really dare to come here alone." Jiang Kui turned the tea cup in his hand, "It seems that Su Chan really holds a lot of weight in your heart."

"Your Excellency, you are even more courageous. You actually dare to come to Chengdu Mansion at this time. I can't help but admire you." Song Zheng said as he walked, holding the coiled dragon arrow stick tightly in his sleeves.

When he came to the main entrance, Song Zheng stopped. He looked at the two men holding arrows, then looked at the black arrows, and suddenly chuckled, "Brothers, it takes a lot of energy to pull the bow all the time. Be careful. broken."

The man on the left suddenly opened his eyes and pulled the string on his hand a little further.

"Be careful. If you lose control and shoot me, I'm afraid it will ruin your family's good fortune." Song Zheng said with a smile.

Jiang Kui looked at Song Zheng for a while and then said slowly, "Let Mr. Song come in!"

The man snorted, raised his hand, and the poisonous arrow left the string, grazed the top of Song Zheng's head, flew out with a whoosh, and hit a tree ten feet away. It immediately entered the wood several inches, and the arrow The rod was still buzzing.
