The old east wind comes to dream

Chapter 35 Young Mo Zhangshou, the first year of the chapter is empty

Ma Chengda immediately took Gu Zizhan and others out of the city to bring Xing Kang back.

The blood on Xing Kang's face was gone. When he saw Ma Chengda, the first sentence he said was: "My lord, the evidence is hidden in the chest by the lower officials. Take it quickly!"

Afterwards, Xing Kang held back the severe pain in the wound, and intermittently talked about their experiences in this line of work.

After the group of them arrived at Hexi Mansion, they searched Cao Yan's several properties one after another, but found nothing.In Fuyi County, Fengzhou, a forged official document was finally found in one of the houses.The above content is to order the official who escorted the official bank to divert to the grave, and there is a secret letter in collusion with the bandits. The letter states that if the bandits are intercepted by the government, they can seek help from the Hexi Xiao cavalry.

These things were hidden very secretly, and the house had been burnt down, if they hadn't searched carefully, they would never have found that there was another secret passage under the ashes.

Seeing that it had been delayed for a long time, they took these things and rushed to Erlun County overnight. In order to be quick, they took a shortcut and took a mountain path.However, on this small road less than [-] miles away from Erlun County, they were ambushed by bandits.

Although those ambush people were dressed as bandits, their advances and retreats were well-founded, and their actions were uniform, obviously well-trained.Although the Dali Temple was accompanied by officials to protect it, it was completely vulnerable to these bandits.Xing Kang couldn't dodge in time, was stabbed in the abdomen with a knife, and rolled towards the cliff.Fu You and Wang Shuli hurried to pull him, but they didn't want to step on the ground when they were intercepted by those bandits, but fell off the cliff first.

Right after that, Xing Kang was weak after all, and after being scratched by a sword again, he was also forced to fall off the cliff.It's just that when he fell, he was intercepted by a dead tree growing on the edge of the cliff, and hung horizontally on the trunk, and escaped by luck.However, the accompanying officials from Dali Temple were not so lucky.These bandits obviously planned to wipe them out, and their moves were fatal. They even didn't spare a few officials who were seriously injured and fell to the ground. They were extremely cruel!

Xing Kang hung on the dead tree and soon passed out.It wasn't until daybreak that he was rescued by a farmer who went up the mountain to cut firewood. Only then did he know that all the people accompanying him in Dali Temple survived overnight!He endured the grief in his heart, but he couldn't see Fu You and Wang Shuli when he stood on the edge of the cliff. In desperation, he had to ask the farmer to take him back to Erlun County with a bullock cart.

After struggling to finish speaking, Xing Kang asked Ma Cheng to send someone to find Fu and Wang quickly, and then his body went limp and passed out.Ma Chengda ordered Gu Zizhan to send Xing Kang to the hospital, collect the blood-stained evidence, and then turned around and left.

Going back to Wang Xun's mansion, Wang Xun happened to be guarding the gate of the mansion, with an anxious face, and was reprimanding a lieutenant.The lieutenant, surnamed Chen, was a confidant that Wang Xun relied on very much.

Seeing Ma Chengda, Wang Xuan stepped forward quickly and said: "The humble officer has sent Xiao cavalry guards to look for him, and will definitely bring Fu and Wang back!"

Ma Chengda paused, and looked at Wang Xuan coldly, "Commander Wang is well informed, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need Commander Wang to worry about finding someone!"

Wang Xuan said anxiously: "Master Ma, human life is at stake, why do you have to be angry with the humble official! The humble official knows that both Mr. Fu and Mr. Wang are from the Duke's Mansion. If there is a mistake between the two of them, you and I can't bear it." !"

At this moment, suddenly saw a group of people rushing in the distance, the leader was Wang Sicheng who had not seen him for a long time, and behind him was a fourth-rank general in black armor and black helmet on his head.

Ma Chengda's eyes lit up, and he sighed secretly in his heart, finally came!

Wang Sicheng and the general dismounted from their horses, and the general clasped his fists in salute and said: "The last general of the Zhenyuan Army Zhonglang General Duan Wu, I pay my respects to the imperial envoy!"

Wang Xun was shocked and flustered immediately. He pulled out the scimitar from his waist and pointed it at Ma Chengda, asking, "Master Ma! What do you mean! When will it be the turn of the Zhenyuan army to intervene in the matter of our cavalry guards!"

Before Ma Cheng could open his mouth, the soldiers of the Zhenyuan Army behind Duan Wu had already stepped forward, drawing their sabers and pointing at Wang Xuan, and there were soldiers riding on horses in the distance, bowing their bows and setting arrows.Seeing this, the soldiers behind Wang Xuan also raised their swords at each other.

For a while, the two sides were already at war.

Ma Chengda was pointed at by Wang Xuan's blade but showed no fear.With a condensed expression, he took the waist card from Wang Sicheng's hand, held it up high, and shouted sharply: "Your Majesty personally bestowed this waist card on me. Seeing this is like seeing Your Majesty, Wang Xuan, you will not succeed in resisting the order!"

Wang Xun's face turned pale immediately, the scimitar in his hand dropped, his legs softened, and he fell to his knees, "I dare not in a lowly position, please forgive me, the imperial envoy."

The soldiers behind him also dropped their weapons and knelt down on the ground.

Ma Chengda took a glance and said coldly: "General Duan, take down Wang Xuan and his followers. From now on, the Xiaoqiguards of Hexi Prefecture will be under the temporary supervision of the Zhenyuan Army, and they will accompany me to investigate the case!"

Duan Wu clasped his fists in response: "The last general obeys orders!" He brought [-] Zhenyuan troops this time, except for the team behind him, the rest had already been arranged to go to the Hexi Xiao cavalry guard station to take over the camp defense.Immediately, he ordered the soldiers behind him to take Wang Xun down, surrounded his mansion, and searched inside.

Gu Zizhan is in the medical hall, guarding Xing Kang's side.

Xing Kang lost a lot of blood and was unconscious all the time. Fortunately, he was in good health and the wound on his abdomen was not very deep. In addition, he was given medicine to stop bleeding by the Dali Temple official who went to search for him, so he was not alive. worry.

Seeing that Xing Kang had been settled by the doctor, Gu Zizhan was very anxious, leaving a few officials to guard Xing Kang, and hurried to Wang Xuan's mansion.

When he arrived at the place, Gu Zizhan looked at the Zhenyuan Army soldiers guarding around him, and was very surprised.Without thinking too much, he rushed into the yard and went straight to Ma Chengda.

Ma Chengda was discussing matters with Duan Wu, Wang Sicheng and others at this time, and when he heard the report that Gu Zizhan asked to see him, Ma Chengda knew what she was going to say, so he ordered her to be called in directly.

As soon as he saw Ma Chengda, Gu Zizhan hurriedly saluted, ignoring the people around him, and said directly: "My lord, I request you to find Fu You and Wang Shuli!"

Ma Chengda didn't pause for a moment, and answered her directly: "Yes!" Seeing Gu Zizhan turned his head and ran outside, he shouted from behind: "Be careful yourself! Earlier, General Duan sent a team of Zhenyuan troops to search and rescue, you Just rush to meet up!"

Seeing the wind blowing under Gu Zizhan's feet, he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Ma Chengda knew that she had a close relationship with Fu and Wang and that they were both cousins. He understood that she was anxious, so he just shook his head and sighed softly.Gu Zizhan, Fu You, and Wang Shuli have very different personalities, but they are down-to-earth and hard-working, and they never feel tired when they are busy with official duties. They are young people he admires.Moreover, as Wang Xuan said, both Fu and Wang were born in the Duke's mansion, and their identities are extraordinary. If something really happened, he would not feel at ease, and could not help but frown even tighter.

Duan Wu looked at the direction Gu Zizhan left, thoughtful.

Gu Zizhan pulled a horse, turned on his back and galloped out of the city.Her mind was in chaos, all the pictures of the three of them getting along in the past.Needless to say, Fu You and her, even though they joked with each other all day long, they were her sincere friends.Although Wang Shuli didn't have much contact with her before, he was a cousin of her, and he became acquainted with her after entering Dali Temple together, and gradually discovered that under his sharp-tongued appearance, there was a willful and free-spirited youthful heart.

This time they went out to Beijing to investigate the case together, and the friendship between the three of them deepened a lot along the way. Gu Zizhan would not want to see any of them in danger no matter what.

Unconsciously, Gu Zizhan swung the whip faster in his hand, wishing he could run to that cliff immediately.

When I got there, I saw twenty or thirty soldiers of the Zhenyuan Army searching everywhere, but the cliff was very high, and the soldiers were tied with long ropes around their waists, but they still couldn't reach the bottom of the deepest cliff.Gu Zizhan was anxious, stepped forward to take the long rope from one soldier, and said to another: "Bring another rope."

The soldier hurriedly stopped him: "My lord, the three ropes have already been tied together. If it is longer, the rope will not be secure."

Gu Zizhan shook his head: "It's okay, I have martial arts, you don't have to worry, get it quickly."

After the long rope was tied around his waist, Gu Zizhan held the rope loosely in his right hand, stood with his back to the cliff, and suddenly fell backwards, jumping into the cliff.

**********

At this time, Fu You was holding Wang Shuli and leaning against the rock wall at the bottom of the cliff.

It has been a day and a night since they fell off the cliff.When falling down the cliff, Fu You's body was scratched with blood by the branches of the trees, but because of his large size, he tripped over the old trees on the cliff several times on the way down. played a buffer role.

But Wang Shuli was not so lucky.

He fell from the cliff and fell straight down. At the beginning, he was hit by a big rock protruding from the cliff and broke his leg.Fu You stretched out his hand several times to pull him, but it was in vain. Finally, he grabbed the corner of his clothes. Fu You was hanging on a dry tree trunk, struggling to pull Wang Shuli up.

Wang Shuli's leg was broken, and the excruciating pain made his face pale like paper, and the cut wound was bleeding profusely, but he still tried to hold back his pain.

Fu You's face was full of tears, and he shouted: "Wang Zihua, hold on to Grandpa!"

But Wang Shuli couldn't use his legs to climb up the tree.Seeing the sound of silk cracking in the sleeve, Fu You stretched out his other hand to pull him, but he was still unable to hold Wang Shuli's outstretched hand.

While the two were struggling, Wang Shuli's sleeve was torn, and his body suddenly fell down.And the old tree under Fu You also broke.

Fortunately, the distance from the bottom of the cliff was not too high at this time. Fu You rolled down, his body fell apart, and he gasped for a long time on his back before slowly recovering.He tried to sit up, his back hurting badly, and he still looked around immediately, looking for Wang Shuli's figure.

Wang Shuli was lying not far away, his eyes closed, and blood slowly oozing from the back of his head.

Fu You screamed and rushed over, hugged Wang Shuli's head, and bandaged him in a panic while crying.His heart was ashamed, but fortunately there was still a faint breath on the tip of Wang Shuli's nose.

At this time, the sky was already bright, but the gloom in Fu You's heart became heavier.

**********

I don't know how long it has passed, Fu You only felt cold in his arms, and he was half-conscious when he suddenly saw Gu Zizhan running towards them at a high speed.

From a distance, Gu Zizhan had already seen the two of them. Wang Shuli's legs were twisted and hanging on the ground, his body and face were covered with blood; Fu You was also covered in blood and was looking at her blankly.

Regardless of the fishy sweetness in his mouth due to the extreme speed running, Gu Zizhan almost crawled to the feet of the two in the end.

But Fu You seemed to be dumbfounded, only looking at her with empty eyes.

Gu Zizhan rushed over, raised his hand to pat Fu You's face, and shouted: "Ayou! Ayou! Look at me, I'm here, I'm here to save you!" The moment his hand slipped on Wang Shuli, Gu Zizhan immediately stupefied.

Icy.

Gu Zizhan slammed on Wang Shuli's wrist, as if his heart was instantly submerged in ice water and he couldn't breathe.

Wang Shuli has been dead for a long time.

Gu Zizhan couldn't bear it anymore, tears came out.
