Ximen Qing looked at the cold stars in the sky, was silent for a long time, and then said: "The stars in this world are so bright, but in my little brother's world, the sky is covered by dirty clouds, and the stars cannot be seen clearly. Maybe it is because of the lack of these The eyes of heaven monitor us, so there will be more and more injustices in the world!"
Wu Song asked: "What happens next? Brother, what is your ending?"
Ximen Qing stood up slowly, took off his outer clothes, revealing a night-walking clothes underneath, and said calmly: "Later, I was transferred to a prison, and then I was hiding and hiding to death. When I was about to die, I suddenly When I saw an old Taoist priest, I followed him all the way and traveled to this life."
"Hide and seek, what is that?" Wu Song originally frowned and was confused, but when he saw Ximen Qing dressed in night clothes, he became even more surprised, "Third brother, what are you...?"
Ximen Qing took out a baggage from the cabin and handed it to Wu Song's arms. A chill ran through his whole body and he said in a cold voice: "Although I killed four thieves and men today, as my second brother said, I have murderous intent in my chest." Just like a sharp cone has just come off, there are still unfulfilled meanings. Second brother, do you have the courage to follow me to Mengzhou City and visit the dog officer Zhang Doujian, Zhang Tuanlian, and that Chiang Door God?"
Wu Song's eyes suddenly lit up. He opened the bag and saw another set of night clothes, which fit his figure perfectly. He smiled and said, "What the third brother said is exactly what I want!"
Looking at the cold stars outside the sky, Ximen Qing said in his heart: "Although Ximen Qing wants to change his fate against the will of heaven, it is better not to change the fate of corrupt officials like Zhang Dujian and Zhang Tuanlian. Let's borrow their heads today. , be my certificate of surrender for going to Liangshan!"
Ximen Qing rowed the boat to the shore, and Wu Song quickly changed into his night clothes. It was already night, the wind was cold and the dew was cold, and there was no one around. The two of them each carried their swords and walked closely, arriving at the gate of Mengzhou City early.
The weather was mid-October, and the moat outside the city had long dried up. Ximen Qing found a place that was frozen hard, crossed it without any effort, and then walked under a city wall. The wall here was not high, and the wall was There were many potholes on the surface, making it easy to climb up. Ximen Qing and Wu Song were very good at qinggong, so they climbed up easily.
When Wu Song saw Ximen Qing acting like an old thief, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Third brother, when did you actually know the path of advance and retreat?"
Ximen Qing said: "Thanks to brother Chen Xiaofei, he has been in and out of Mengzhou all year round. He has all the facts and realities of this city in his mind. I asked him about it carefully, so naturally he is familiar with the road."
While talking, the two brothers came to the back garden wall of Zhang Dujian's house and listened to the drum beat, which was at four o'clock. Ximen Qing then smiled and said: "Second brother, you are at the house of Zhang Dujian, a dog official. After living here for a month, now it’s your turn to lead the way!”
Wu Song gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Third brother, come with me!"
The two of them rolled into the yard lightly, their shadows in the dark ground, and watched Zhang Dujian's horse feed the horses in the back trough, hung up the lanterns, and were about to spread out the quilt and go to bed, when Ximen Qing and Wu Song flew in. , an eagle caught him early like a sparrow.
The man in the back was being grabbed by his head, and in the shadow of the lamp he could only see two flashing green knives, which dazzled the eyes. He was so frightened that he was almost weak. He wanted to scream loudly, but when the words came to his mouth, it turned into a low whine: "Spare my life!"
Wu Song asked: "Do you recognize me?"
When Hou Cao heard the voice, he realized it was Wu Song. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out to be Wu Yishi."
Wu Song continued to ask: "Just tell the truth, where is that guy Zhang Dujian now?"
Hou Cao said: "Justice, Zhang Doujian and Zhang Tuan practiced today, Jiang Menshen drank wine for a day and has not rested yet, and now he is still eating in the Yuanyang Tower!"
When Ximen Qing and Wu Song heard that what he said was consistent with what Jiang De said, they both nodded. Ximen Qing then deliberately asked: "Second brother, how should we deal with this person?"
Wu Song then looked into Ximen Qing's eyes and said: "Brother, I know you were wronged in your previous life. Today, old and new hatreds are at odds with each other. It is necessary to fight for right and wrong. But every injustice has its head, and every debt has its owner.
You and I, two men, only look for the bad luck of the culprit, but we must not kill ordinary people in vain. Otherwise, if we kill people indiscriminately, what is the difference between them and those corrupt officials who harm the people?"
Ximen Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought to himself: "The Wu Song of today is no longer the Wu Song of the past!" Then he followed the trend and said, "My second brother's good advice, I just have to follow it!"
Wu Song turned around, pointed at the back groove and said: "On weekdays, although you are a bit glib and talkative, so that you can take advantage of others, but I watched with cold eyes and never saw you relying on your power to bully ordinary people. That's why I kept you here today.
A life! But the pain of being bound by flesh and blood is unbearable. At dawn tomorrow, someone will naturally come to let you go!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Hou Cao said while leaning down to tie him up, "Wu Yishi, most of the servants in this mansion are secretly aggrieved for you. Those who follow Zhang Doujian to kill you are only a few."
Seeing Ximen Qing roll up a hemp rope egg and stuff it into his mouth, Hou Cao quickly said: "I still have something to say, wait until you finish these two most important sentences, why don't you stop blocking my mouth again?"
Late!"
"Oh?" Ximen Qing stopped, "What else do you have to say?"
Hou Cao whispered: "To be honest with you two righteous men, Zhang Dujian knew that he had done many bad things, so he set up a trap in the Yuanyang Tower a while ago. There was a rope that led directly to the penthouse downstairs.
The copper bell, in the ear room lives the
Jiang Ren and Jiang Yi, two disciples of Jiang Menshen, are on duty with more than a dozen powerful bastards. If they hear the ringing of the bell, those people will rise up! The two righteous men want to do justice for heaven, but they must be careful.
This brass bell mechanism!"
Ximen Qing and Wu Song looked at each other, and both of them thought: "Sure enough, good people are rewarded! If we don't care about the situation and kill this bastard, we have to hit the copper bell trap. At that time, we can only alert the snake."
I'm afraid something might be wrong!" Ximen Qing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much! Don't blame me!" After saying that, he stuffed the hemp rope egg into his mouth, Wu Song lifted him up and put him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.
The two of them came out of the stable in the back trough, took advantage of the bright moonlight, flew over the wall, opened the corner door leading to the stable first, lifted the door leaf from the door axis, and left it hidden there. Wu Song pointed to the lighted balcony.
, whispered: "That's the Yuanyang Tower!"
Ximen Qing said, "Let's get rid of the bad guys in the penthouse downstairs first!"
The two nodded, each wielding a sword, and using the help of flowers and trees, they sneaked up to the lower floor of Yuanyang Tower without anyone noticing. This is exactly what it was:
The cycle of heaven's laws has no results in the past, and the retribution of the underworld is now known. But I don't know what will happen next, and I will listen to the explanation in the next chapter.
