Luyi County is more than fifty miles west of Bozhou City.
Zhang Yanxiong rushed to Luyi for half a day and conducted extensive searches.
He was not sure whether the little thief really brought Sister Zhang to Luyi, but as he had no other clues for the time being, he could only trust Fan Yuan's judgment.
However, after searching for a long time and all night long, in the early morning, still not even a single person was found.
Zhang Yanxiong's mood was a little broken.
The eldest sister of the Zhang family has been missing for two nights!
"Is it possible that the little thief didn't bring the eldest sister here?"
Fan Yuan said: "No, it's most likely Luyi... He chopped off Chi Na's head and needs to take it out. This is the nearest county seat. I suspect he is in the city."
Zhang Yanxiong said: "But if I guess wrong and waste time here, what should I do?"
Fan Yuan thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I am sure that within the city, he and the eldest sister are the most outstanding in appearance and demeanor. No matter how deep they are hidden, they will definitely be found if they continue to search..."
"General." Suddenly someone came forward and said.
"found it?!"
"No, a Mongolian centurion named Bayin brought people here and asked us where China is..."
Zhang Yanxiong's face immediately turned ugly.
Of course he knew where Chi Na was, and he had personally handled Chi Na's body.
The problem is that Chi Na's head is still in the hands of Song people.
If this thing comes out and gets into Bayin's eyes, it will add fuel to the fire.
"I'll deal with it." Fan Yuan stood up, turned to Zhang Yanxiong and whispered: "Believe me, Yang Shen and the eldest sister are in Luyi City, and... Chi Na's head is also there."
When Zhang Yanxiong heard this, his already ugly face became even more gloomy.
Fan Yuan said again: "I am holding back the Meng people and asking the general to find them. Time is running out, so we must do it as soon as possible."
"good."
At this time, the wound on Fan Yuan's shoulder was bleeding again. The accompanying doctor was about to change his dressing, but he waved his hand and walked out with heavy steps...
Bayin was leading more than twenty Mongols to confront the Zhang family guards at the city gate.
"The centurion actually came to Luyi?" Fan Yuan quickly stepped forward to apologize and said in Mongolian with a smile: "I wonder if..."
Bayin was already tall, and he looked like a tower when he was sitting on the horse. He looked down at Fan Yuan and said, "You were shot by Chi Na? This is his fault. I will apologize to your Zhang family on behalf of Daru Huachi."
, where is that man Chi? I'll take him back."
He sounded polite when he spoke, but his attitude was cold and very disdainful.
Fan Yuan said: "Yesterday we met the noble man. I think there was some misunderstanding, so he rushed us, but everyone ran away. I don't know where the noble man went."
"He stole your eldest sister?"
"No." Fan Yuan said: "At that time, we protected the eldest sister and ran away. After that, I don't know where the noble lady went."
Bayin said: "Then what are you looking for?"
"Recently, some people from the Song Dynasty have been active. This group of people is very vicious and has killed many people. We are searching for him."
Fan Yuan was still trying his best to cover it up.
He knew very well that if the Meng people knew that Chi Na had kidnapped Sister Zhang, and that Chi Na died in the hands of the Song Dynasty, the Meng people would not believe it. This is unreasonable.
Only by finding Yang Shen and destroying Chi Na's head, might there be a way to dissociate Chi Na's death from the Zhang family.
But Bayin was not easy to fool, and asked again: "Is the search for Song people's work so grand?"
"Because that group of people is really fierce. By the way, the centurion must also be careful."
"I can help you search."
"no, I'm fine……"
"You have something to hide from me. I told you that I was ordered to take Chi Na back. This is the result of you Wu Lang begging our Daru Hua Chi."
"Yes, yes, if I know where the noble is, I will definitely tell the centurion." Fan Yuan said with an apologetic smile.
Bayin Zhuma thought for a moment, pulled the reins, and turned the horse's head.
Fan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and cursed these fools in his heart.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the city, and some people shouted and screamed.
Fan Yuan turned his head and tried to listen, and vaguely heard someone saying, "Catch him..."
The next moment, his whole body was lifted up. When he turned around, he saw that he had been lifted onto the horse by Bayin and was flying towards the city.
There were pedestrians on the street who had no time to get out of the way. This group of Mongolians slashed with their swords without hesitation, knocking the blockers to the ground.
At the sight of blood, the screams became louder and the street became even more chaotic...
~~
There is a historic site in Luyi County called the Mingdao Palace, which is the place where Laozi, the founder of Taoism, preached and gave lectures.
There is a pool to the south of Mingdao Palace, called Hanbi Pool. There is a high tower beside the pool, which was built to commemorate the famous Huashan Taoist priest, the "Sleeping Immortal" Chen Tuan.
It is said that Chen Tuan was from Luyi. When he was a child, he often played by the swirling water and lived to be 118 years old.
But today more and more people gathered under the pagoda, but not to see a Taoist priest become immortal.
But someone hung a human head on the tower...
"I found my eldest sister!"
"Get him!"
"Quick! Get over here! Take him down..."
The horse galloped over, and Fan Yuan, who was pinned down on the horse's back, heard these shouts.
Looking up, I saw two figures on the tall tower from a distance.
Bayin then ran towards the tower.
Getting closer and closer.
You can vaguely see the two figures on the tower with fluttering clothes, like a pair of immortals.
You can also see a dark thing shaking there, which is obviously a human head.
"Quickly, rescue the eldest sister! Capture him..."
suddenly.
There was a shout from the tower.
"Report, I saved the eldest sister and killed Chi Na!"
"Report, I killed Chi Na and saved the eldest sister..."
"..."
This is the voice of a young man.
After hearing these two shouts, Fan Yuan felt his head buzzing.
Wherever he looked, a head had already made an arc in the air and flew towards him.
It was getting closer and closer, and Fan Yuan could almost see Chi's angry face above.
"Boom!"
It fell on the grass between the Mongolian people and the Zhang family guards, creating a pool of blood.
But that face is still clearly recognizable as China.
"General, I killed Chi Na and saved the eldest sister!" The people on the tower were still shouting loudly, and their voices kept echoing.
Fan Yuan was the quickest to react and shouted: "Centurion, listen to me, there is a misunderstanding about this matter, a misunderstanding..."
"Die! Die!"
Bayin had already lifted up Fan Yuan's thin body and threw him out violently.
Fan Yuan raised his head and wanted to explain again, but he only saw a horse's hoof as big as a bowl and stepped down hard!
"puff!"
…
"Kill them all!"
The Mongolians had drawn out their scimitars one after another and attacked the Zhang family's guard queue without hesitation.
Blood quickly covered the ground under the tower with bright red color.
Bayin witnessed with his own eyes that China kidnapped Sister Zhang and went up to the tower, but was chased and killed by the Zhang family.
And the Zhang family actually dared to kill Chi Na in front of him?
How dare you do this...
"Anyone who dares to rebel against the Mongolian Kingdom will die!"
"Kill!"
…
Zhang Yanxiong had already rushed to the third floor of the tower. He turned around and saw the fighting under the tower, and his veins jumped with anger.
"Go and stop the Meng people! The rest of you, follow me and continue to rush into the tower, kill the little thief, and rescue the eldest sister..."
