Chapter 172: Change
(Thanks to the book friend "Xue Hai Mei Xiang" for the generous reward and the unyielding support all the way, Nan Dynasty will remember it in my heart!)
The night seems to be getting deeper...
The spring night was slightly chilly, and the wind blew, stirring the garbage scattered on the street, making a slight rustling sound, as if some small animal was walking on it.
Da da da!
The rapid sound of horse hoofbeats came from the street in front, and it was obvious that a large group of officers and soldiers were searching. It seemed that Yingning had rescued the martial artist, and Jiang Yu couldn't find him, so he mobilized the troops defending the city.
Assist in the search. Let the other party escape from under his nose. It would be strange for Jiang Yu not to get angry and act recklessly!
The decision for Ying Ning to take action was purely a flash of inspiration from Chen Jianchen. The only basis was that since the other party went to the Zhezhou government office to spy on him, he was obviously not some thief who committed murder and swindled goods. Instead, he was probably related to the matter that he had been searching for.
And as long as there is a possibility, he is not willing to let it go easily.
There is no moon tonight, only a few stars hang on the night sky, emitting a faint light.
Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and there was a yellow light flashing in the wind, like a small yellow flower that had been blown down - no, in this season, where are the chrysanthemums blooming?
The yellow shadow soon flew in front of him, and he saw clearly and familiarly that it was a paper crane folded with yellow talismans.
Paper cranes convey messages!
Chen Jianchen, who had had an experience before, quickly recognized it.
The small paper crane flew over like a human being. When Chen Jianchen stretched out his hand, it landed crookedly on his palm, opened his mouth and spit out a small note.
After twisting the small piece of paper, the paper crane lost its power and was blown away by the wind.
"Sir, everything went well. I'm back at the academy."
The note was written in beautiful handwriting, and a small fox the size of a finger was drawn at the signature. It was all white and lifelike, making faces at Chen Jianchen.
This Ying Ning is quite thoughtful...
Chen Jianchen burst into laughter. Ying Ning rescued him and hid directly back to Kaitai Academy. After all, it was difficult for the government to enter Kaitai Academy to search, and it would be safer there. Now that he was sure of the outcome of the matter, he stopped staying.
Go straight back to Kaitai Academy.
At a crossroads ahead, they saw a large group of officers and soldiers in bright armor standing guard, checking the passers-by. Seeing Chen Jianchen's scholarly appearance, these officers and soldiers waved his hand and let him pass.
After returning to the small courtyard of the academy unimpeded, and entering the room, I saw the "master" leaning on the corner, breathing heavily. The wounds on his body were simply bandaged to stop the bleeding.
flow.
"Sir, you are back."
Yingning stood up from behind the desk, walked over, and whispered: "He refused to say anything..."
The ordinary-looking man was seriously injured. His face was as pale as paper due to excessive bleeding, and his blue robe was spattered with blood. He looked scary, but his big hands were still holding on to the weapon, and his eyes were alert.
Staring at Chen Jianchen and Ying Ning.
"Why did you save me?"
The change in his eyes clearly betrayed his inner feelings. Apparently, he remembered their encounter in the morning and recognized Chen Jianchen.
Chen Jianchen sat on a chair and suddenly asked straight to the point: "Your Excellency visited the government office at night to inquire about Mr. Nie's news?"
The man was obviously taken aback, and his whole body tensed up, but in an instant, he relaxed again, pretending to be surprised and said: "What is it, Mr. Nie?"
Chen Jianchen already understood something in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged: "Of course it's Mr. Nie Zhiyuan, do you want to rob the prison?"
This sentence was even more shocking. It pierced the heart of the man like a sharp knife, and his face turned paler: "Who are you?" He really couldn't imagine that Chen Jianchen would speak like this, because he was obviously just a scholar. But thinking back to just now
The process of being rescued by Ying Ning was full of weirdness and weirdness. He was rescued here without even figuring out what was going on.
The man has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he thinks he is a good player in the world, but he cannot see through Ying Ning's methods at all. If he can be called a master, wouldn't Ying Ning be a master, a master, a master? Or maybe, there are rumors about him.
The monks in exist?
Thinking of this, he felt awe-struck and became increasingly confused about the origins of Chen Jianchen and Ying Ning.
Because I couldn't figure it out, I didn't dare to talk nonsense, so I had to stay silent.
Chen Jianchen could understand his wariness. If it were him, he would never reveal his true identity without knowing the situation clearly.
Chen Jianchen suddenly smiled: "Brother, you can rest assured that we have no malicious intentions."
His smile made the man even more wary. I wonder what Chen Jianchen is going to do? He has been in the world for a long time, how can he easily reveal the truth?
Chen Jianchen was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Is Miss Nie okay..."
"you……"
The man became even more uncertain, and his heart was filled with doubts.
"To be honest, I am an old friend of Miss Nie."
The man suddenly wanted to get up, but the injury was caused. He groaned in pain and did not dare to move anymore. But he was so stubborn that he did not faint. Instead, he tilted his head and asked: "Are you..."
"The surname is Chen, and the courtesy name is Liuxian."
At this point, there is no point in hiding it anymore. It is better to open the skylight and speak frankly, which will help the conversation between the two parties.
"Oh it's you!"
Surprise encounter between men.
Chen Jianchen raised his eyebrows: "Do you know me?"
The man shook his head: "I don't know, but my junior sister carries a calligraphy on her body, and she often opens it to read... I know that the person who wrote this calligraphy is Chen Liuxian."
Junior sister?
As expected, not only did this person know Nie Xiaoqian, but he was also Nie Xiaoqian's senior brother. It was really hard to find anything, and it took no effort to get him.
As for the calligraphy Nie Xiaoqian carried, Chen Jianchen knew that it was the poem given to her that day: The sky is covered with frost on the ten-mile flat lake, and every inch of blue hair is worried about the past; looking at the moonlight to protect each other, only envious of the mandarin ducks.
Xian Xian...she always kept it with her, even if she encountered a disaster, she never lost it.
At this point, both of them knew that they were "one of their own", and the man's wariness disappeared. He first thanked Ying Ning for his life-saving grace, and then introduced himself:
It turns out that his surname is Xia and his given name is Qi. He is a native of Zhezhou and comes from the same school as Nie Xiaoqian——
Nie Xiaoqian's master was a strange man who called himself "the old man of the mountains", but even the apprentices did not know the origin of his real name. He only had four apprentices in his life. Nie Xiaoqian was the youngest one and was affectionately regarded by the three senior brothers.
Called "little junior sister".
This time, the Nie family suffered a catastrophe. Nie Zhiyuan was unjustly imprisoned, and Nie Xiaoqian had no way to sue. She did not agree with her father's opinion, and felt that the injustice would be cleared up after going to Beijing to meet the saint. This was all because Nie Xiaoqian had heard a lot of gossip outside.
, I know that there are some people in the temple who want to kill my father.
My father would have died if he stayed in Zhezhou, and he would have died even more after he went to Beijing.
After seeing through the inside story, Nie Xiaoqian decided to rob the prison and use force to rescue her father. But it was impossible to do it in the Zhezhou city. The Zhezhou garrison was so strong that she could not handle it.
So, after much thought, Nie Xiaoqian made a decision: the best time to take action was when the authorities were escorting Nie Zhiyuan to Beijing.
Nie Xiaoqian felt that she was alone and weak, so she wanted to ask her three senior brothers for help to conspire for big things. Her three senior brothers were also loyal and chivalrous. After hearing about the injustice suffered by her junior sister's family, they were all filled with righteous indignation.
He agreed without hesitation, not caring that robbing the prison van would be a major crime against the Nine Tribes.
With the help of three senior brothers, Nie Xiaoqian's confidence suddenly became much stronger. She began to plan with her senior brothers. They had to make the plan watertight in order to avoid being wanted by the court...
This time, the second senior brother Xia Qi came to the city to inquire about the news. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Jiang Yu while visiting the government office at night. He chased him all the way. If Ying Ning hadn't come to the rescue, he would have died.
I went to jail to accompany Nie Zhiyuan.
After listening to this paragraph, Chen Jianchen let out a long sigh and said that Nie Xiaoqian was fine... at least the plot of "A Chinese Ghost Story" that he had been worried about had not yet appeared. He immediately asked: "Brother Xia, did you find out any news in the government office?
"
Hearing this, Xia Qi suddenly became alarmed and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I heard that the time they want to escort Mr. Nie to Beijing has been changed and has been brought forward."
"Oh, when is the advance?"
Chen Jianchen asked quickly.
"tomorrow."
"So fast?"
Chen Jianchen was surprised.
"Yes, but this is also a strategy often used by the imperial court to escort prisoners to prevent accidents from happening."
Xia Qi said slowly - the imperial court would often announce a time for the release of important prisoners, but it would not necessarily act according to this time. It would often change the itinerary suddenly, making it difficult for people to guard against it.
At this time Yingning said: "Sir, you have to write an article tomorrow."
Chen Jianchen said calmly: "I won't write it anymore. Saving people is like putting out fires. We can't delay. We must tell Nie Xiaoqian and others about this news as soon as possible. If necessary, we should do our best."
He didn't have much concern or expectation for the title of "the most talented man in the world". It was just a false reputation. Compared with the important matter of saving Master Nie, it was clear at a glance which one was more important. Besides, he came to Zhejiang this time.
Zhouzhou originally came here for Nie Xiaoqian. Now that he heard what happened to her, he couldn't stay any longer.
Xia Qi said regretfully: "But I am seriously injured now, how can I convey the news?" Speaking of urgency, he coughed dryly and coughed up a small mouthful of blood.
Chen Jianchen said hurriedly: "Brother Xia, don't worry, don't you still have me? By the way, where have you been settling down all this time?"
Regarding this sensitive issue, Xia Qi hesitated for a moment, but he had no choice now, so he gritted his teeth and replied: "In order to avoid being discovered by the government, we have moved to many places outside the city before. We just moved to a new place the day before yesterday."
Go to a new, safe place!”
"Where?"
