Chapter 73 third quarter

Duan Shizhang's eyes widened, and he shouted, "What's going on! Where's the person?" Butler Liu took a deep breath, rushed to the wooden table with a few strides, and took a closer look, the pig cage was intact, but Zhang Xian was gone! Duan Shizhang, Ding Laoqi and others all caught up one after another. Duan Shizhang's forehead burst out with veins, and he roared, "Open the cage!" A guard hurried forward, but when he touched the key on his waist, he had already disappeared, so he took a step back in fright. Butler Liu had already noticed that the guard looked weird, so he grabbed him and said, "What are you waiting for? Open the cage!"

The guard cried and said, "The key, the key is gone..." Ding Laoqi stretched out his hand and pulled the cage door, the iron chain rattled, the big iron lock that was originally on the iron chain disappeared, and the cage door was also opened by Ding Laoqi with a gap big enough for people to get through. Duan Shizhang roared violently: "What's going on, what's going on?" Everyone was too scared to make a sound and stepped back. Duan Shizhang heard Steward Liu talk about Ding Laoqi's strange running around in the Hongde Pavilion, he immediately looked at Ding Laoqi, and yelled, "Ding Laoqi! Did you do it!"

Ding Laoqi knelt down with a "gudong" and cried: "Master, you are wronged, even if you have ten thousand guts, you don't dare to do anything!" Butler Liu squeezed his strength to squeeze out the words: "He must have broken free from the rope in the pig cage and ran away... We have been tricked!" Just when these people were at a loss like headless flies, a bodyguard from Duan Shizhang's mansion ran over like crazy, fell in front of Duan Shizhang, and said out of breath: "Master, something is wrong! Mrs. Liu, Liu Ma'am, she ran away!" Duan Shizhang suddenly turned from a state of rage to panic. He grabbed the bodyguard's shoulder and said in a trembling voice, "What? Say it again?"

The bodyguard said: "Master, Mrs. Liu has escaped! There is no trace at all. I rushed here with all my might and reported to Master. Please hurry up and come up with an idea!" Duan Shizhang's head exploded with a bang, and when he rolled his eyes, he was about to fall to the ground, but Steward Liu hurriedly supported him. Pointing to the distance, Duan Shizhang said, "Chasing! Chasing! Catch them!" In addition to Li Yi and Liu Yin riding one by one, they also brought two empty horses and galloped wildly. At dusk, they had arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Hongde Pavilion was located, and reached a small intersection called the Blue Stone Monument.

The two hid their horses and waited in the forest for a while, but no one came. Li Yi couldn't help becoming anxious, and said, "What's going on! Haven't Master and Master come out yet?" On the contrary, Liu Yin was very calm and said, "They will definitely come! Don't worry!" Li Yiqiang suppressed the boredom in his heart, and the two continued to wait. After waiting for another cup of tea, there was a rustling in the forest. Someone came out of the forest, ran a few steps and fell at the intersection of the blue stone monument. Very serious injury. Liu Yin raised her eyes and recognized this person, she exclaimed: "Father!" She got out of her hiding place and rushed to this person.

The person who came was Liu Yin's father, Liu Wanyao. Liu Yin and Li Yi rushed to Liu Wanyao, helped him up quickly, and carried him to the side of the road to sit down. There was a big blood hole in Liu Wanyao's back, several ribs were broken, his breathing was weak, he was unconscious, and his life was in danger. Liu Yin hadn't seen Liu Wanyao for ten years, but this time she met her, she was separated from life and death.Liu Yin felt sad from her heart, hugged Liu Wanyao and cried silently. Liu Wanyao vaguely felt that his daughter was coming, so he slowly opened his eyes, looked down and saw that his daughter was indeed beside him, suddenly a surge of power surged out from nowhere, his spirit was lifted, he sat up suddenly as if nothing happened, grabbed Leaning on Liu Yin's shoulder, looking into Liu Yin's eyes, he said tremblingly, "Daughter! Is it really you?"

Liu Yin said in a miserable voice: "Father, it's me! It's my daughter Liu Yin!" Liu Wanyao was overjoyed, burst into tears, hugged Liu Yin in his arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Ten years! It's been ten years! Daughter, Daddy made you suffer! I thought I would never see you again in my life. is you!" Liu Yin burst into tears and said, "Father! Stop talking, we will take you away! We will go to a place where Duan Shizhang will never find us again!" Liu Wanyao's whole body was shocked, he looked up and looked around, and said in surprise: "Where is Xianliang! Is he here?"

Li Yi said sadly: "Not yet, will something happen to my master?" Liu Yin wiped away her tears, and said anxiously: "Father! Where's Brother Xianliang? Didn't he come out with you?" Liu Wanyao said in shock: "Xianliang led away the pursuers in order to cover me. But I, an old guy, didn't live up to my expectations and accidentally fell off a cliff! Fortunately, I only broke a few ribs. I'm fine. Yes, I won’t be able to die for a while! Virtuous! Oops!” Li Yi panicked immediately, and shouted: "Master must be fine! But why hasn't he come yet, Master!" Li Yi said that he was fine, but tears welled up in his eyes.

While speaking, I only heard the sound of roaring and chasing from behind the distant ridge, and they were rushing towards the blue stone tablet. When the three of them heard the voices of the pursuers gradually approaching, they were all in a state of confusion. Liu Yin said to Li Yi: "Li Yi, take my dad away! If your master can't come here in time, I will accompany him to die." Liu Wanyao said: "Daughter, I will not leave, if I die, I will die together!" Li Yi was even more excited, and said: "You are all dead, can I live alone? I won't leave! At worst, let's fight them! Avenge Master!"

The three of them were still arguing, when they suddenly heard a steady voice: "No one is allowed to die! Let's go!" When Liu Yin, Li Yi, and Liu Wanyao heard the voice, they all turned their heads abruptly, and saw Zhang Xian jumping out from the nearby boulder, dripping wet all over. Liu Yin and Li Yi jumped up and hugged Zhang Xian tightly. Both of them had countless things they wanted to say to Zhang Xian. The scene of his escape flashed through Zhang Xian's mind quickly: when the guard tied him tightly, Zhang Xian twisted his arm skillfully; when Zhang Xian was stuffed into the pig cage, he bumped into the guard's At that time, he took off the key from the guard's waist with one hand; Zhang Xian was floating in the water at the bottom of the dark water, shaking his body with all his strength, and one hand came loose from the rope; Zhang Xian took out the key, Unlocking the iron lock on the cage door, pulling off the iron chain, got out; Zhang Xian poked half of his head out of the aquatic plants, watched Duan Shizhang and the others by the pond, and dived into the water again.

Zhang Xian patted the two of them, and said softly: "Stop talking! Let's go! They don't have a horse, we can definitely escape! Li Yi, bring the horse here!" Li Yi responded, and hurried away to lead the horse. Zhang Xian quickly came to Liu Wanyao, looked down, and asked urgently, "Father! You are injured!" Liu Wanyao chuckled, looked at Zhang Xian and Liu Yin with great relief, and said, "I'm fine! I can see you two together today, and it's worth my death now!" Zhang Xian said: "Father! Stop talking! Come on, let's go!" Zhang Xian tried his best to support Liu Wanyao, and Liu Yin stepped forward to help and walked to the road.
