Chapter 241 Goodbye Xunmei
Seeing Chen Jiagui rescuing the wounded, Yang Shucheng and the others slowly left the canyon, while the Xiong family and horses also pulled the cart over.
People on both sides introduced each other and met.
Mulan also met Xiong Songlin and talked to him. Seeing that their friends were reunited and had endless things to say, he took his leave and was about to return to Youxiang Valley.
Yang Shucheng saw her sending him more than twenty miles away. This friendship was precious, so he wanted to go back and send her away.
Mulan urged him to leave. Yang Shucheng repeatedly confessed: "The Qing army is powerful. If they break into the mountains, you can first ask the White Lotus Sect for help, and second, you can come to me at Banhe, the Xixia Military Brigade."
Mulan agreed. The two of them parted reluctantly.
The Chen family drove their carriage to leave this fighting battlefield and rush to the south of the mountain.
Yang Shucheng asked: "Brother Xiong, what are your plans? Where are you going with your family? There is smoke everywhere now, and it is not safe everywhere."
Xiong Songlin smiled and said: "I also told you that I want to go to the south of the Yangtze River. It is best to buy a piece of land by the West Lake and live my whole life by the West Lake."
Yang Shucheng said: "Of course I know what Brother Xiong is capable of and can keep my family safe. However, I have an unkind request. Please consider it."
"What is it? But it doesn't matter."
Yang Shucheng said: "That's right, we robbed Ma Shiying of more than ten boxes of treasures in Nanjing..."
So, he told what happened. Originally, this matter had little to do with him, but Li Xing was dead, and Bai Yuyao was already disheartened and wanted to live in seclusion in the Dabie Mountains. Yang Shucheng was afraid that the rich man Chen was really interested in these treasures as Li Xing said. If Shunjun wants to make a comeback, what will it rely on? I can't let down Li Xing's dying trust.
Therefore, Yang Shucheng wanted to ask Xiong Songlin to choose a place around Nanjing to live in seclusion and monitor the situation in Chenjiazhuang at any time.
Xiong Songlin said: "Thank you, Brother Yang, for trusting me so much. Huang Xianfu and I have also been to Nanjing together. It is indeed a good place. It is not far from the West Lake. I can travel between the two places and it is not a problem."
"Great!" Yang Shucheng shouted, the heavy burden on his shoulders was lifted, and he felt extremely relaxed for a moment.
"But..." Xiong Songlin said with a smile, "You can't stay out of it, and you have to come to Nanjing to see me from time to time."
"That's natural."
The Xiong family had a great business, so they quickly stopped at a mountain col to bury a pot for cooking. Naturally, Yang Shucheng was inconvenient to leave immediately, so he stayed with Xiong Songlin.
The two sat in the tent, laughing and drinking until late.
At night, the two of them walked to the top of the mountain, lay on the grass, and looked at the night sky.
I saw that the night sky in the mountains was extremely far and deep, and the stars seemed not far away from me, shining constantly like the eyes of a beauty.
Yang Shucheng thought to himself: "These are Miss Mulan's eyes." Thinking of this, he smiled unconsciously.
Xiong Songlin said with a smile: "What a seed of infatuation. Just after we parted, I started to miss you."
Yang Shucheng was afraid that he would laugh, so he quickly said: "No."
Xiong Songlin asked: "Why don't you ask Miss Mulan to go back to Banhe, Wushan Army Brigade with you?"
Yang Shucheng said: "I stayed with her for a few days, and every day I tried to persuade her to go to Wushan Banhe, saying that there was a good place like her Youxiang Valley there, but she just refused."
"What a strange woman." Xiong Songlin sighed.
The next day, Xiong Songlin had to take his family away. Yang Shucheng wanted to protect them for a certain distance, but Xiong Songlin refused.
Yang Shucheng had no choice but to agree to go back, but he thought in his heart that I would just protect him secretly.
As they were saying goodbye on the roadside, they saw a man running from the north. When Yang Shucheng saw him, he couldn't help but feel happy.
The person coming was Zhang Xunmei from the Plum Blossom Sword Sect.
Yang Shucheng hurried forward to greet him and shouted:
"Miss Zhang, do you still remember me?"
"It turns out to be Young Master Yang." Zhang Xunmei asked, "Why are you here?"
Yang Shucheng said: "I came back from Nanjing and passed by here, ready to go home. How did Miss Zhang come here? Where is your family?"
"I ran away from home again." Zhang Xunmei was honest.
Yang Shucheng asked: "Now that the north is in turmoil, how is your family?"
Zhang Xunmei said: "Our Zhang family is originally from the mountains, not a big family. As soon as the Qing soldiers arrived, we fled into the mountains. They couldn't do anything to us, so they hid."
When Yang Shucheng saw that her family was fine, he felt relieved and said, "Miss Zhang, I'm here to introduce you to a young master."
With that said, Yang Shucheng introduced Xiong Songlin to Zhang Xunmei who was standing aside.
When the two sides met, Yang Shucheng asked: "Why are you so panicked? What happened to you?"
Zhang Xunmei said: "Last time I was in this mountain, I met a bandit. I was almost killed by him. Fortunately, Miss Mu saved me. Now that I have come to this mountain again, I don't want to meet this bandit again. Now, he escaped Yes, I am chasing him, can you see?"
Yang Shucheng said: "We just arrived here and didn't see him."
Zhang Xunmei pointed with her hand and said, "He ran southward from this road."
Yang Shucheng said: "I'll help you chase him."
The two of them chased south together. As a friend, Xiong Songlin also followed.
The three of them used Qinggong and ran south for less than half a mile when they saw two people walking slowly up the hillside, one behind the other.
Zhang Xunmei's eyes were sharp and she shouted: "This is the boy."
When Yang Shucheng saw the two people walking up the mountain, he recognized them both.
One is none other than "Ghost Face" Huang Xianfu, and the other is Wang Hu.
Wang Hu is one of the "Three Fierce". One is Meng Wang Bao, who made a pig-killing knife, and now lives in seclusion in Taoyuan in Dabie Mountain. The other is Wang Jing, who makes a big iron rod, and now it is in the Qinling Mountains, and will come out when the time comes.
Yang Shucheng and the others stood on a high place, watching Huang Xianfu and the others slowly walking up the mountain.
When he got closer, Zhang Xunmei stabbed Wang Hu with his sword.
Huang Xianfu stepped aside and allowed them to fight.
Yang Shucheng stepped forward and called: "Senior Huang, I see you."
Huang Xianfu greeted Xiong Songlin and explained the reason.
It turned out that after he assisted Li Xing and three others to rob Ma Shiying's treasure, he was reluctant to leave the palace and returned to the palace.
But the good days did not last long. The Qing soldiers reached the Yangtze River and the defenders along the river surrendered.
The emperor was not stupid. He secretly escaped with several concubines before dawn. After much deliberation, he had the only option to flee west toward Huang Degong's army. Currently, he was the only one who had not surrendered to the Qing army.
When Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng learned that the emperor had escaped, they also fled from the city and disappeared.
The whole city of Nanjing was in chaos, with various officials, some fleeing and some staying, preparing to welcome the Qing army into the city. The ordinary people were even more anxious all day long. They were afraid of being killed by the Qing army. They fled to the city gate with their poor belongings, but the army guarded the city gate. They could not escape, so they had to return home and resign themselves to their fate.
Huang Xianfu relied on his unparalleled lightness to fly over the city wall and escaped. The north was full of Qing troops, so he had no choice but to come towards the Dabie Mountains.
When he ran to Anhui, he heard that Huang Degong was dead and that the emperor had been captured by the Qing soldiers. He heard that he would be taken to Beijing.
Although Huang Xianfu had feasted on the emperor for several months, he was not familiar with the emperor, so there was no need to risk his life to save him.
Therefore, he came all the way west and soon came to the Dabie Mountains.
He briefly told Yang Shucheng and Yang Shucheng about his situation.
Looking back, he watched Zhang Xunmei fighting Wang Hu.
Wang Hu relied on the meteor hammer in his hand and swung it with great force, whistling like wind. Within half a foot, sand and rocks were flying. How could Zhang Xunmei get so close?
But Zhang Xunmei learned the plum blossom sword technique passed down from her family. It was all small skills. She was like a butterfly wearing flowers, just spinning around Wang Hu.
Relying on his strength, Wang Hu swung the meteor hammer and struck him dozens of times without even hitting Zhang Xunmei's shadow.
There were Yang Shucheng and three others standing aside to watch the battle, and Wang Hu couldn't help but panic.
In a panic, his foot stumbled, and the hammer became dull for a moment. Zhang Xunmei was so clever. She took advantage of this rare opportunity to stab him with a sword, hitting him in the chest. When the sword was pulled out, the blood on his chest spurted out.
Zhang Xunmei hated him so much that she stabbed him with another sword, as fast as lightning.
