Chapter 21: Young Yuanzhi
Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and they seem to be pitiful. ------ "Sword of Fairy"
In the ashes, Long Chen smelled the faint fragrance of women, which was the same as the sweat towel harvested in the Anling Inn. The smell hadn't completely dissipated, and the mysterious woman must have entered the cabin and had just left. Chen Long went ashore, pulled Yang Huai, who was tied like a zongzi, and kicked him in the stomach first, and Yang Huai arched up like a shrimp in pain.
Chen Long drank and asked, "Where is the Yellow Turban Demon Girl?" Yang Huai made a crying face, but a mocking smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and said, "You also want to catch the Yellow Turban Holy Maiden?" The Holy Goddess was clever and didn't get on the boat at all. You have taken this from it. β
"The Yellow Turban Saintess? You lie, she must have been on this boat. While cleaning up Yang Huai, Long Chen quickly checked the light brain, and sure enough, it showed some information about the Yellow Turban Holy Maiden Zhang Ning, and it turned out that the main messenger behind the scenes was actually Zhang Jiao's daughter. It's just that I don't know if she was the one who shot Peach Blossom with the poisonous needle? This antidote must fall on Zhang Ning.
Yang Huai was fascinated by sex, and about the situation of the saint, he didn't open his mouth when he was killed, and he insisted that he was fleeing alone. Chen Long glanced at Liu Yong, Liu Yong understood, asked someone to lead the two boatmen, and told them to kneel in front of him.
Liu Yong pulled out the short knife, saw that Yang Huai's two men were ugly and handsome, and pulled the ugly one first, and asked: "You look so ugly, when you see a beautiful woman, you must want to touch her." Which hand did you touch it with? Left or right. The boatman was asked, and wondered how this person knew that I was obscene, and just hesitated to say left or right, Liu Yong said, "It must be the right hand." As he spoke, he cut off two fingers of his right hand, and the wound was bleeding profusely. The boatman collapsed to the ground screaming, feeling aggrieved that I hadn't said it yet. Liu Yong pulled the handsome one again and said, "You look so handsome, you must be popular with the girls, did you touch it with your left hand or your right hand?" The boatman was already scared to pee his pants, and hurriedly said, "I didn't want to touch it." Liu Yongle said: "Then you must have something wrong with the guy." As he spoke, he stabbed off his pants and compared them with a knife between his crotch, and suddenly smelled a stench, and couldn't help but scold his mother.
The handsome boatman was already frightened and shouted miserably: "I said I said, just now a big man and that... The demon girl is still on the boat, Yang Yang Yang gang leader also talked to them in the cabin for a long time, when the fire just now, I was busy fighting the fire, and somehow it disappeared? β
When Chen Long heard this, he became vigilant, and saw that Yang Huai closed his eyes like a dead pig and did not speak, knowing that he couldn't ask, he had to ask the boatman: "What do the big man and the demon girl look like?" The boatman gestured and said, "The big man is so tall, the demon girl is so tall, the big man has a thick face, a stout body, and a wide face." The enchantress has a slender body and a veil, and she can't see her face clearly in the dark. Chen Long nodded, turned around and ordered everything to be tied, and he and Liu Yong got on the boat again and carefully checked it, it was indeed an empty boat.
Liu Yong said to Long Chen suspiciously: "Brother Chen, this matter is strange, we haven't seen anyone else jump ship, is it true that the demon girl can do witchcraft?" When Long Chen heard the word jumping ship, Meng Keli came to his senses and said, "General Liu, when Yang Huai jumped ship just now, how many water sounds did you hear?" β
Liu Yong was puzzled and said, "Huh? He slapped his head suddenly: "You mean the three of them hugged each other and danced?" β
"Exactly, what a cunning enchantress." Chen Long raised his eyes to look at the dark and dreary river, and then said, "You leave the two brothers here to watch them, and the rest get on the boat and go to the other side to have a look." β
It turned out that Chen Long's first rocket hit the ship, and Zhang Ning already knew that something was wrong. When Yang Huai got out of the cabin, Zhang Ning had already asked Ma Yuanyi to take advantage of the chaos to hold Yang Huai, sandwich himself in the middle, and jump into the river together. That Yang Huai knew that he would inevitably be captured, but sacrificing himself as a pawn, keeping the car of the saint, and hugging his beloved saintess, felt very great and glorious, and finally made Zhang Ning escape from Chen Long's ambush.
Zhang Ning and Ma Yuanyi went to the other side, they were lucky, and they also had a new understanding of Chen Long's methods, and they couldn't help but admire. Hiding in the dense forest on the opposite bank, looking at the light of the torches on the opposite bank, Chen Long and a group of people got on the boat and rowed to this side, knowing that Chen Long and they asked where they were, they hurriedly hid deeper into the dense forest.
Chen Long searched across the other side of the river for a while, but the night was dark and the dense forest was deep, so he had to rush back to Lingling to hand over Yang Huai and others to Liu Xian in order to clarify himself, the search scope was limited, so he had no choice but to return by boat, dragging a few booty horses back to Lingling.
On a small hill on the opposite bank, Zhang Ning saw from a distance the torches on the opposite bank drifting in the direction of Lingling, and breathed a sigh of relief, she had never been chased and killed in such a mess, and couldn't help but say to Ma Yuanyi: "Captain Ma, this person is unparalleled in wisdom and scheming, and he is not under me." Ma Yuanyi nodded slightly and asked: "The holy woman is extremely intelligent, and she will be able to capture this person alive if she will attack the city with a large army in the coming day." Shall we go back to the camp first? Zhang Ning's eyebrows frowned into a big pimple, his beautiful eyes flashed, and he said unconvinced: "If this person is not removed, even if this Lingling City is captured, it will have to pay a huge price." β
After a pause, Zhang Ning made up his mind: "Captain Ma, send me back to Lingling." Ma Yuanyi suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and exclaimed: "WHAT? Return? "I actually held back a sentence in English.
Zhang Ning nodded firmly and said: "The Second Protector has already disposed of Li Le, Yang Huai will not confess Xing Daorong, that is his only chance to live, and the rest of the people don't know me." Although those boatmen have seen you, they can't see clearly in the dark, and you can hide in the second protector for the time being. I have my own opinions, and I am bound to compete with this Chen Long. "Speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten that I am a female.
Ma Yuanyi knew the saint's temper of not admitting defeat, and when he heard this, he could only sigh in his heart, and obediently took Zhang Ning to find a convenient place to cross the river again and sneak to Lingling City. The two stole a few clothes from the farmer's house, disguised themselves as farmers and peasant women, and when it was dark, they mixed in the ranks of farmers who went to the city to sell vegetables.
Although they galloped all night, when Chen Long and Liu Yong entered Liu Yong's mansion, they were still full of ambition and extra spirit. Because of the capture of the key person Yang Huai, Chen Long's charges can be cleared, if Yang Huai can't survive the punishment of his son Liu Xian and confesses Xing Daorong, he can naturally wipe out all the yellow scarves in the city.
The sky was dark, and Ma Er had just entered the courtyard of Liu Yong's mansion, only to see Liu Dong greet him with an anxious face, and said, "Gongzi Liu Xian has been waiting in the study for a long time. Chen Long hurriedly asked Liu Yong's subordinates to take Yang Huai and the others into custody, and went to the study with Liu Yong to see Liu Xian. Liu Xian walked around like an ant on a hot pot, saw Long Chen, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, sister-in-law and Huang Gai have all been arrested by Xing Daorong. β
Chen Long was shocked and hurriedly asked the reason. Liu Xian said it briefly, and when he said that Liu Ba accidentally made a ruthless move, he gritted his teeth angrily. Chen Long was concerned about the chaos, and he wanted to pull Yang Huai to the county government to talk about it and rescue the peach blossoms. Liu Xian hugged him and said, "Big brother, you calm down first, let's sort out the clues first, and when my father is promoted, we can answer them one by one." Saying that, he called Liu Dong and said, "Tell Zhou Budo to come up." β
Long Chen gradually calmed down and began to analyze the current chaotic situation in Lingling City. A delicate young man came in with Liu Dong, his face was childish, his figure was a little chubby, but his forehead was full, his facial features were upright, his eyes were calm, his bearing was calm, and there was a scholarly arrogance between his eyebrows. Liu Xian introduced: "This is my military advisor Zhou Budo. Yuan Zhi, call Brother Wenlong. The young man bowed his head and said, "Brother Wenlong." Chen Long hurriedly helped him up, and his light brain showed that Zhou Budo, the character was straight, Lingling Chong'an, Liu Xian's nephew, few talents, smart and sensitive, and Cao Cao was jealous of his talent and was afraid that it would be unfavorable to Cao Pi and assassinated him. Chen Long didn't expect to see Zhou Budo, a prodigy, here, knowing that he was talented, but he didn't expect to become Liu Xian's chief thinker at such a young age.
The two sat down, Zhou Budo and Liu Yong didn't dare to sit, and Liu Dong went down to guard the door of the study. After Liu Yong explained the ambush process, Liu Xian was the first to speak: "Big brother, in the current situation, we have Yang Huai, Xing Fang has sister-in-law and Huang Gai, how should this be?" Before Chen Long could figure it out, he asked Zhou Budo to speak first.
Zhou Budo said: "Young son Liu Xian, Fang Jin's Yellow Turban Army is heavily pressed outside the city, and this matter involves the safety of Lingling, and the stakes are very high. If Yang Huai refuses to confess, and we don't catch the Yellow Turban Holy Maiden, even in front of Taishou, with Taishou's trust and partiality in Xing Daorong, as well as Liu Min's words, I'm afraid it will be difficult to distinguish right from wrong, Xing Daorong can easily get away with the crime, and it is very likely that he will be beaten and questioned by Brother Chen in court. For the sake of the presentγγγγγγ Saying that, he looked at Liu Xian hesitantly, Liu Xian knew that Zhou Budo was going to talk about Liu Du, and said, "Yuan is straight, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." β
Zhou Budo continued: "For today's plan, the best strategy is that Prince Liu Xian can destroy his relatives and seize Liu Taishou's power, then cut off Xing Daorong and Liu Min's official positions, or use the soldiers in the city to eliminate them, and Lingling City will be safe; Zhongce is to exchange hostages with Xing Daorong in private, temporarily keep their respective camps safe, and ensure the safety of the hostages first, then Xing Daorong can't guarantee that Yang Huai will not confess, he should agree to the exchange, and let Taishou secretly send someone to observe and record it during the exchange process, which can prove Xing Daorong's identity; The next strategy is to confront Xing Daorong in court, each of them to make a statement, and privately mobilize people to assassinate Xing Daorong and Liu Min, and seize the command of the city, but they have heavy troops, which is not easy, but we must beware of them making the first move. β
Chen Long was already stunned in his heart, but when it came to Liu Du, he could only let Liu Xian make his own choice first. Chen Long has never seen Zhou Budo's name in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and now this young man is in front of him, and he has a wise plan like this, so he knows that he has really been a hero since ancient times. Chen Long looked at Liu Xian, and the boy twisted his chin with his hand, bowed his head and groaned silently.
