【Part 19】Blue Dragon
After Wu Shique abandoned Wu Yixin and left home, he went directly to Ninghai, Zhejiang, trying to save one or two of Fang Xiaoru's immediate family members.
Shortly after Fang Xiaoru was captured, he was executed by Ling Chi outside the city gate of Nanjing. At that time, the imperial guards had not even reached Fang Xiaoru's hometown in Ninghai, Zhejiang Province. However, the news that Fang Xiaoru was executed by the Ten Clan spread to his hometown very early.
The locals did not dare to talk about this name. Everyone related to the Fang family seemed to have disappeared. The three words "Fang Xiaoru" were like a banned book, no one dared to mention it.
This made Wu Shique rush to nothing.
Wu Shique was so disappointed that he sat in a wine shop on the street in Ninghai, sipping wine with a pound of yellow beef.
A big man with thick eyebrows came over to get close to him, staring at his wine bottle. Wu Shique had been walking around for a long time, so he knew that this was asking for a drink. Wu Shique was not a stingy person, so he poured out the teacup and poured a glass of white wine.
To this big man. The big man was so happy that he immediately raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Wu Shique saw that this man was careless and seemed to have no scheming. He was a man who cherished talents and was eager for justice. He immediately poured another glass of wine. The big man opened the bench without any courtesy and sat down.
.
"Uncle, thank you. I haven't drank for a few days. There's nothing wrong with me. I just like this."
"Uh-huh," Wu Shique was upset. Seeing him sitting down, he felt a little uncomfortable and didn't want to answer. He was afraid that the big man wouldn't leave once he started talking.
"Who loves this country? This beacon fire, rain transforms the platform. This glass of wine relieves the troubles. Who cares about punishing the ten tribes?" The big man actually sang to himself in a low voice. At first Wu didn't care, but
Hearing the last sentence, his eyes lit up, "Is it possible that this person is here to deliver a message?"
Wu Shique whispered: "Brother, what hilltop is it?"
The big man drank a glass of wine, sang and whispered: "There is a tiger in the mountains of Yue State, but it cannot be suppressed by knocking on the mountain."
Wu Shique understood in his heart that he was a man from the green forest of Hutou Mountain in southern Zhejiang.
"The green dragon of Chujiang rushes to Wu at night, and grows old overnight."
As soon as the big man heard this sentence, he immediately knocked the knuckles of his right hand on the table instead of bending his knees. Because in the green forest, this sentence represents the supreme green forest green dragon head. The Chujiang Qinglong refers to Wu Zixu, and the white head overnight refers to the head. Together, the two sentences
That is: "I am a descendant of Wu Zixu, the head of Green Forest and Green Dragon."
When a big man sees the green dragon head of Lu Lin, he must kneel down and salute. However, Lu Lin pays attention to secretive slang, so he kneels on the table with his knuckles as a sign of respect.
Wu Shique raised his hand as a sign of getting up, and asked while pouring wine: "What do you call it?"
"Three Tigers Laughing on the Tiger Head Mountain of the State of Wu."
"Wu Shique, the leader of Qinglong, a native of Chu."
Wu Zixu was from the Chu State, but his father and brother were killed by the Chu State, so he defected to the Wu State to destroy Chu. Therefore, the descendants of the Wu family only call themselves Chu people, but not Chu people.
"Could it be that Qinglongshou is here because of Fang Xiaoru's affairs?"
"Exactly, little brother, is there any news?"
"I was just about to tell you that things are a bit tricky. Please come with me."
Wu Shique lost some silver and got up and followed Xiao Sanhu. Xiao Sanhu seemed to be very familiar with Ninghai. He turned around in the alley and entered a small alley. There were guards inside the alley.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I turned around and saw three big men guarding the door. When I saw Xiao Sanhu coming in, I stood up and called out: "Third Brother."
Xiao Sanhu smiled slightly, opened the curtain, and walked into a dilapidated, windowless hut.
There is no light at all.
Xiao Sanhu asked for a fire certificate from outside, flicked it, and lit the candle. Only then did Wu Shique see clearly the decorations inside.
The strange thing was that Wu Shique looked around and saw that this was a small room with an Eight Immortals table and four chairs, but no one was there.
Xiao Sanhu knelt on the ground with a plop: "Please Qinglongshou, please save the descendants of the Fang family, students."
Wu Shique saw the sad expression on the laughing Sanhu, and quickly stepped forward to help him up, and asked: "Little brother, what happened?"
"Qing Longshou, if you don't agree, I won't get up, and I can't tell you."
Wu Shique's heart softened and he could only say: "Get up quickly and we'll talk about it later."
A strong man who laughed three tigers actually got up silently with tears in his eyes.
He turned around and pulled up a carpet on the ground, and grabbed a blue brick underneath, which turned out to be the entrance to a cave. Xiao Sanhu held a candlestick to light up the cave. Wu Shique leaned over to take a look, and saw a stench of feces, urine and musty smell.
Come on, let him cover his mouth and nose involuntarily.
At first glance, it seemed that there was some sparkle inside. After a closer look, Wu Shique took a breath.
Those flashes of light turned out to be human eyes, but they were yellowish-brown, with no clear black and white pupils. The skin and clothes on the face were already dark black, and it seemed that they had been stained with soot from the cave and had not been washed for many days.
He looked carefully and started counting involuntarily.
Xiao Sanhu knew how many people he was looking at and said: "There are a total of eighteen people. Except for one descendant of the Fang family, the others are students and slaves of the Fang family. They are all on the list. These people are members of the Jin Yiwei who have not yet returned."
Caught."
"Where did these people come from?" Wu Shique was a little shocked. He inquired in Ninghai for many days, but there was no news. People said that Jin Yiwei had arrested many people, and there was a lot of rumors. In the past few days, the Yamen's policemen and Jin Yiwei also
After checking people everywhere, according to the results of the past few days, it seems that there are no descendants of the Fang family left behind, and I didn't expect that there are still eighteen people here.
"My father was born in Mr. Fang's house, and my mother died young. When I was young, I grew up eating hundreds of meals in Fang's house. These people all watched me grow up. After my father died, I didn't learn well and started fighting and making trouble outside.
Master Fang rescued me many times. Later, I followed the boss of Hutou Mountain in southern Zhejiang, entered the green forest, and later took over the mountain. But I always felt grateful for the kindness of the Fang family. When I knew something happened to Master Fang, I took several of my men with me.
, I came back to Ninghai and wanted to save some people, but the whole city was full of guards, and we were afraid of being recognized by the dogs in the yamen, so we couldn't get out, so we had to hide here."
Xiao Sanhu paused and said: "We have run out of ammunition and food, and we don't know what to do. But I saw that you, sir, have been secretly asking about the Fang family. I wanted to ask you about it. I didn't expect that you are the leader of Qinglong."
, it would be great to have you here, adults will definitely be able to rescue them."
Wu Shique, who is wearing a tall hat like Laughing Three Tigers, blushes. Because his ancestor was so famous, the descendants of the Wu family are respected by others. Wu Zixu was regarded as the Sanjiang Narcissus by the Chu people, and he was in charge of the waters of the Chu River, the Yangtze River, the Han River and other places. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wu Zixu
The family is also the leader behind the Green Forest Army, so Green Forest has honored the descendants of the Wu family as Qinglongshou for hundreds of years, and is as famous as White Tiger Teeth, Suzaku Feathers, and Xuanwu Armor. Qinglongshou is not on the top of Green Forest Mountain, but it can mobilize Green Forest, plus
The Wu family can call the Assassin Order, so the Wu family can be said to be the real leaders behind the world. Unfortunately, the Assassin family has withered, and the Wu family has nothing to do.
Wu Shique didn't have any plan in mind, but the Wu family was born with a warm-blooded nature, so he couldn't refuse the call for help. He walked into the cave, looked at the Fang clan members who were looking forward to it, sighed and said, "Let's make a plan and see how we can save everyone."
go out."
Everyone seemed to have found the life-saving rope, congratulating each other and thanking Wu Shique. Wu Shique wanted to take them out of the cave one by one, but Xiao Sanhu reached out to stop him. "Master Wu, it's not time yet, let's make a summary first.
total."
Xiao Sanhu covered the hole with blue bricks and took Wu Shique outside. He looked at Wu Shique with inquiring eyes, wanting to hear his plan.
At this time, the setting sun in the far side of the sky was shining on the green tiles, as if they were coated with gold, and the leaves were scattered and floating. Wu Shique was pacing in square circles in the yard, thinking about the plan, and sometimes looking up at the sky.
