Chapter 183: The Murderer Arrested

Zhu Mian looked closely, and saw dozens of horizontal boats appear on the river a mile ahead, locked with iron chains, blocking the way of the fleet, and he panicked in his heart and hurriedly looked at both banks. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, the south bank suddenly drummed loudly, and the arrows in the woods were fired in unison, Zhu Mian's five hundred guards were caught off guard, and they fell to the ground one after another, and a miserable scream sounded on the shore, and the guards were in a big chaos, only to see thousands of soldiers come out of the woods and surround the remaining 300 people from three directions.

A bronze helmet and iron-armored general jumped out of his horse with a spear in his hand, and shouted: "I am the commander of Xiuzhou, the prince Wu is also, and if you don't surrender again, you will be killed!" ”

The ground was full of corpses, surrounded by heavy soldiers, and more than 300 soldiers were at a loss for what to do, I don't know who put down their weapons first, and then 300 guards put down their weapons one after another, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Mian shouted: "Turn around!" Turn around! ”

At this time, more than 100 cargo ships were like long snakes, following the big ship led by the ship began to turn slowly, Qing'er who was hiding on the boat saw that the fleet began to turn around, she immediately drilled out of the wooden box, but unexpectedly met a big man with a steel knife in his hand, the big man found a black-clothed sword-wielding man out of the wooden box, and immediately waved his knife and shouted angrily: "Who are you?" ”

Qing'er struck first, his body jumped up, the human sword was one, only to see the sword flash, the unusually sharp long sword had pierced the chest of the big man, the big man screamed, fell on the deck, the scream alarmed the escort people on the two ships in front and behind, and the three big men pounced with knives.

Qing'er didn't have time to fight with them, she rolled over and jumped into the water with a harrier and disappeared without a trace.

In just a moment, Qing'er dived to the back of the big boat, she leaned out of the water, only to see two thick ropes above her head to tie the boat behind her firmly, because of the hasty departure, there was no time to use the iron chain buckle, which provided convenience for Qing'er to break the rope.

It's just that the rope is at least six feet above the water, and the distance between the long sword is not enough, Qing'er looked at both sides, and saw a row of iron buckles on the wall of a ship behind her, so she bit the long sword in her mouth, reached out and grabbed the buckle, her arms were forced, and her body slowly left the water.

The boatman who was supporting the boat behind the previous big boat suddenly found Qing'er, and he was stunned, so he hid behind the side of the boat and stretched out a long penny to poke Qing'er in the back.

At that moment a wolf's tooth arrow came and struck the boatman's arm, which pierced through the bones, and the boatman screamed, and the rod fell into the water, and sat on the deck in agony, covering his arm.

Qing'er realized that she had just been discovered, she hurriedly looked back, only to see that on the north shore, Li Yanqing was looking at herself from a distance with a bow and arrow, her eyes were full of concern, Qing'er was excited for a while, cheered up, and waved her sword. Click! With two slashes of the rope, she jumped into the water and vanished.

The first ship suddenly broke away from the flotilla behind it, and the flotilla behind it lost its power and began to slowly move towards the south shore with the current.

In addition to their father and son, Zhu Mian's wife Wang and ten henchmen on the ship, and three boatmen, one of the crew members has been injured by arrows and can no longer sail, Zhu Mian's heart is very anxious, at this time, he can no longer take care of his wealth, he just wants to get rid of the chasing soldiers on both sides of the strait, the other party has no ship, Zhu Mian's only reliance is on this big ship.

Zhu Mian drew his sword and pointed at the two boatmen and said, "Speed up the boat and leave immediately, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

A boatman said with a sad face: "Master, we must raise the sails to sail against the current, but there are only two of us, and we have to take the helm, which is really ......."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhu Mian ordered his subordinates, "Help them raise the sails!" ”

Immediately ran three guards, they pulled up the sails under the guidance of a boatman, here is only more than thirty miles away from the sea, the sea breeze is strong, the sails are bulging, the big ship began to sail with the wind and waves, at this time, Li Yanqing on the shore took out the copper bow and iron arrows, the copper bow and iron arrows are only aimed at important targets, and they will not be used lightly, and this is the moment when it exerts its power.

Li Yanqing drew his bow like a full moon and aimed at the sail a hundred steps away, "Collapse! The iron arrow came out of the string and shot towards the mast, only to hear, 'Click!' With a bang, the main rope at the top of the mast was broken by an iron arrow, and the huge sail fell with a bang, and the big ship immediately lost power and began to spin on the water.

At this time, Zhu Mian's father, Zhu Chong, was so anxious that he stomped on his crutches and shouted to Zhu Mian: "Lean to the south bank and surrender to Wang Ziwu quickly!" ”

"Why?" Zhu Mian shouted at his father with blood-red eyes.

"Wang Ziwu is Tong Guan's person, we still have a chance to live in his hands, if the people on the north shore are sent by Cai Jing, we will die."

Zhu Mian suddenly woke up to the fact that Cai Jing had too many handles in his hands, and he would inevitably kill himself, and Tong Guan was still in the north at this time, so he might not know what happened in Bianjing, he had always had a relationship with him, even if this prince Wu didn't dare to let him go, at least he would save his life.

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted to the boatman: "Come to the south bank!" ”

The boat slowly approached the south bank, and as soon as it landed on the shore, a large group of soldiers immediately rushed onto the boat and tied up Zhu Mian's father and son, Li Yanqing stood on the north bank, although he had every chance to shoot Zhu Mian to death with an arrow, but after thinking about it again, he felt that it was best for King Jia to publicly execute Zhu Mian in the downtown of Suzhou, and Zhao Kai's public support would soar sharply.

Qing'er came ashore wet from the water, Li Yanqing hurriedly wrapped her in a big coat, Qing'er was so cold that her teeth chattered up and down, and asked, "Little official... Why not.... Don't shoot Zhu Mian directly? ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly: "How Zhu Mian dies is not for us to decide, this is a matter for the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with us!" ”

At this time, Wang Ziwu came to the north shore by boat and smiled heartily at Li Yanqing: "Little official, we meet again!" ”

Li Yanqing was stunned, "Have I met the general?" ”

"Last year, in the camp outside Tangyin City, I was fortunate enough to see the magic arrow of the little official, of course, the little official may not have seen me, there were too many people at that time."

Li Yanqing secretly wondered in his heart, it turned out that this person was Tong Guan's person, and he hurriedly smiled: "When did the general come back?" ”

"We went north to Zhending Mansion, and later found that the Liao army had no intention of invading the south, and Captain Tong continued to stay in Hebei, and part of the army withdrew, and I was transferred to the southeast to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Fang La, but I didn't expect to meet a small official here, and the little official followed His Royal Highness King Jia to the south?" Although Wang Ziwu had a smile on his face, there was already a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Li Yanqing secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, when he met this person, it meant that Tong Guan knew his relationship with Zhao Kai, which was a bit troublesome, but fortunately, Tong Guan did not return in Hebei, and there was still room for relaxation.

Li Yanqing smiled faintly and said: "His Royal Highness King Jiawang is now in Wujin County, please ask General Wang to pledge Zhu Mian and all his belongings to His Royal Highness, in addition, Zhu Mian's son led 2,000 people to Mingzhou, I don't know if the general has any news about them?" ”

Wang Ziwu sneered and said: "I received news from General Cai in Hangzhou at noon today, Zhu Mian's 2,000 troops wanted to bypass Hangzhou, but they were surrounded and ambushed by Fang La's rebels in Qingxi, and the whole army has been wiped out. ”

"This is also the will of heaven, General Wang, is this going to see His Royal Highness King Jia?"

Wang Ziwu shook his head, "Although His Royal Highness King Jiawang has a gold medal for sending troops, but there is no transfer of troops, I can only operate in Xiuzhou, and I can't cross the border, I will detain a cadre of criminals and seized materials in Jiaxing, and wait for His Highness to come and deal with it." ”

Wang Ziwu saluted Li Yanqing with a fist, "Let's go first." ”

Li Yanqing silently watched the army escort Zhu Mian and the ship away, and he realized that in fact, Zhao Ji didn't believe in his son, and only gave the gold medal but not the tiger talisman, of course, this is also a common problem of all emperors, even if it is his own son, he will keep a hand, especially when it comes to the army.

"Li Shaojun, will we go back now?" A few guards next to him asked.

"Go back first! I am waiting for His Highness to arrive in Jiaxing. ”

Several guards saluted Li Yanqing and turned north.

At this time, Qing'er asked, "Little official, should we go to Jiaxing now?" ”

Li Yanqing smelled the sea breeze in the air, and said with a smile: "Since you have already arrived at the beach, of course you have to go and see the sea." ”

Seeing that Zhu Mian had been arrested, the county lieutenant next to him was extremely relieved, so he smiled and said: "I have a cousin who is a big family in Ninghai Town, and we can live in his house tonight!" ”
