Chapter 44 Chapter 44: Heroes work together and the thief falls into Hanoi. Zhang San takes a nap and his horse falls into the stream

Zhang San was drinking with Wang Jinting when he suddenly heard a "plop". Someone fell into the water and shouted "no!" Gone, and so is Wang Yuanwen. Zhang San said to Wang Jinting and Chuck: "We are surrounded by robbers! I don't know which cottage it is from?" Wang Jinting looked at the aft cabin, Hong Sheng was staring, looking around in the car, listening, full of hope . Zhang San picked up the precious sword and turned it like a windmill, and the sharp arrows were knocked into the air.The approaching small boat was already close to the big boat, and several big men had rushed to the bow, brandishing iron forks, big knives and other weapons, swarming over.Zhang Sanfa shouted, climbed onto the ship's mast and made a move of "pull the flag with the wind", kicking several big men into Hanoi with both feet.Chuck picked up the sword Wang Yuanwen put in the cabin, and Wang Jinting also came out of the cabin.

Another person jumped onto the bow. That person held a hand behind his back and waved a big cattail fan in his right hand. He said with a smile, "Master Zhang, it's been a long time!" Zhang San saw that it was the iron fan Dongting. A person also jumped onto the stern of the boat, and as soon as that person got off the boat with his feet, the stern bumped and splashed everywhere; he said bitterly, "Where is the rebellious Jie Tiefu? Hand over your head soon!" Zhang San knew it was "Iron Braid" Panlong.Zhang San shouted, and the horizontal knife slashed towards Dongting, Dongting bowed down, and blocked the fan upwards, Zhang San's knife cut through the air.Dongting waved the fan again, Zhang San felt like stars appeared in front of his eyes, and the fan bone brushed his right arm.Zhang San was a little annoyed, wrapped around his head and wiped his shoulders, and the chopping knife did not reach the head. He made a move with a left empty step to hold the knife, walked in a low style, then changed his hands and twisted, clouded his hands into a tiger shape, kicked Dongting's waist, and Dongting staggered After a few steps, he swung his fan forward again, and with a move of "Princess Fan", he rushed towards Zhang San fiercely.

Here, Chuck waved his sword to fight Panlong.Panlong bit his teeth on the tip of the braid, looked at Chuck, raised his braid, Chuck jumped more than five feet high, the braid hit the mast, and the mast broke with a "click".The mast fell to the ground and killed a wall thief. Wang Jinting hid in the cabin, witnessing the fierce battle, he felt lingering fear, he glanced at Hong Sheng in the wooden flail cart, Hong Sheng was sneering "hehe". The big boat was surrounded by more than ten small boats. The people on board were all Hong Sheng's remnants, some armed with weapons, and some with bows and arrows. Dare to shoot an arrow.

When it was difficult to resolve, I saw another small boat sailing out of the reeds, and a person on the bow shouted: "Thieves, don't hurt my friend!" A green cloth robe, holding a big bamboo pole, and a young man behind him is rowing desperately. The small boat approached the big boat, and the man on the bow lit up the bamboo pole and said, "Hula la!" Seven or eight robbers in those small boats were swept away.Someone shot an arrow at him, but he also swept it away with a bamboo pole.When Zhang San saw that person, he yelled with joy: "'Xiao Zhui Liang', why are you here?!" That man was "Xiao Zhui Liang" Liang Zhenpu. Just now, with two apprentices passing by here, they saw Wang Yuanwen falling on the bank with an arrow, and hurriedly rescued her.After listening to Wang Yuanwen's narration, I realized that Zhang San and others were in trouble, so I asked my apprentice to take care of Wang Yuanwen, and I brought another apprentice, got a small boat, and came to rescue.

Seeing Liang Zhenpu coming unexpectedly, Zhang San gained more strength, and he slashed out, parrying the cattail leaf fan of Dongting, and slashing towards Dongting's lower abdomen with his palm.Seeing Liang Zhenpu coming to help Zhang San and the others in Dongting, he was a little distracted, and when he was negligent, Zhang San struck him in the lower abdomen; he felt a burst of pain, and the fan in his hand fell to the ground.Zhang San's eyes were quick, and he kicked the cattail fan into the river. Dongting had no cattail fan, which meant that he had no weapons. He was a little flustered, and with a false move, he was about to fall into the water and flee.Zhang Sanyi jumped up, raised his knife, and split the Dongting in half, blood staining the river, turning it red.

Here, Liang Zhenpu had already jumped onto the stern of the boat, and poked at Panlong's back with a big bamboo pole.Panlong had been prepared for a long time, and he jumped slightly to the side, and the bamboo pole was poked into the air. Chuck and Liang Zhenpu knew each other, and Chuck shouted: "Zhenpu came just in time!" Then he swung his sword to chop Panlong. At this time, another large boat came in front, with several burly men standing on the bow, surrounded by two elderly people.When Zhang San saw it, he thought to himself: It's broken!There are robbers again! The big ship was getting closer and closer, and the person at the bow became more and more aware of it. There was a yellow dragon flag flying in the center of the ship, fluttering and fluttering.

Standing on the bow of the boat were those people whose faces were recognizable, all of them were wearing clear robes, and the two of them had round faces with turned noses, gray beards, and looked radiant.The other is thin and bright-eyed, old-fashioned, upright, holding a champion pen.Zhang San recognized these two people, one was "Nose Li" Li Ruidong, the martial arts instructor of the Qing Palace, and the other was "Iron Bracelet" Yin Fu, the chief guard of the Qing Palace. Seeing the arrival of the masters from the Qing Palace, Pan Long panicked and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the "little braided beam" Liang Zhenpu's horizontal pole.Liang Zhenpu didn't show any weakness, he also tossed his braids, tangled them together, tossed up and down, the fight was inextricable.Suddenly, Liang Zhenpu pulled out the braid, leaned over, and drew the braid on Panlong's face, leaving a bloodstain immediately.Zhang San killed Panlong with a stab from the back. The guards of the Qing palace shouted, and everyone raised their swords bravely, and quickly killed the robbers brought by Dongting and Panlong.

Yin Fu jumped onto the big boat where Wang Jinting was, cupped his hands at Wang Jinting and said, "Your Imperial Envoy was astonished, Chaoyan sent us to the south to meet your Imperial Envoy when he returned to Beijing, because we encountered robbers in Tianjin and delayed the time, please invite your Imperial Envoy aboard! " Wang Jinting lost his mind and murmured: "My beloved daughter Yuanwen is missing..." Liang Zhenpu told about the rescue of Wang Yuanwen, and Yin Fuling escorted Wang Yuanwen in a small boat to pick her up on the big boat.Liang Zhenpu bid farewell to Zhang San, Yin Fu and others because of his official duties.The crowd escorted Hong Sheng and sailed towards Beijing by boat.From a distance, Zhang San saw the "little braided beam" Liang Zhenpu standing on the bow of the boat for a long time, like a clay sculpture, motionless, and felt a special feeling in his heart.

The big boat took another journey. Chuck said goodbye to everyone and got off the boat. He was going back to his hometown in Hong Kong to visit his relatives. Zhang San, Wang Jinting and others said goodbye to him for a long time and thanked him again and again. Hong Sheng, governor of Zhejiang Province, had long since fallen out of favor with Cixi. Cixi read the memorial and pleadings presented by Wang Jinting this time, so she issued an order to behead Hong Sheng outside the Meridian Gate, and rewarded Wang Jinting, Zhang San and others.At this time, Zhang San had already returned to his home in Yangyi Hutong, Dongdan.

In 1908, Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi died one after another, and Aixinjueluo Puyi ascended the throne, named Emperor Xuantong, only 4 years old.In order to appease the frontier provinces, Chaoyan sent imperial envoys to the frontier provinces to issue edicts.Chaoyan saw that Wang Jinting was able to do things well, and he had made great achievements in capturing Hong Sheng, the traitor who went to the south of the Yangtze River, so he appointed Wang Jinting as an imperial envoy to issue an edict to the Thirteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet.Wang Jinting invited Zhang San's bodyguards for this trip, and Zhang San readily agreed. In addition, Wang Jinting chose ten more bodyguards to accompany him.

Seeing that Zhang San was escorting her father, Wang Yuanwen also felt that the trip to Tibet was to send an imperial edict, which was not like the one in Zhejiang where he acted against the people, so he did not follow him secretly. Beijing is thousands of miles away from Tibet.A group of people traveled day and night, crossing mountains and ridges, and suffered hardships.After walking for several months, we entered the territory of Sichuan, where there are thousands of mountains and ridges, rolling ups and downs, majestic peaks, jagged rocks, and dangers abound.On this day, I went to Jiming Pass at the junction of Sichuan and Tibet. The mountain road was like a curved ruler. Looking up, the cliffs, rocks and clouds collapsed, which was dizzying. Looking down, the mountain stream was unfathomable and shocking.There is no one to repair the mountain road, step on it, and the stones will roll down.Immediately Wang Jinting sighed: "White clouds can be picked in this place. It really deserves to be said that 'the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky!' What kind of place is this?" A Sichuan guide said: "My lord, this place is called Jiming Pass, it's very dangerous!" "Is there a station up ahead?" "Yes, it's the mountain ridge that turned the ground." "Okay, everyone, walk carefully, and take a good rest when you arrive at the station." A group of people walked cautiously on the rugged mountain road, so nervous that they couldn't breathe, and no one dared to look to either side.Only Zhang San drank too much and was taking a nap while sitting on the horse. The people and horses came to a bend like a ruler, and suddenly, Zhang San's horse's heel stepped on the ground.Everyone exclaimed, only to see Zhang San and his horse leaning back and rolling down into the mountain stream together. "It's not good, Mr. Zhang has fallen into the stream!" Everyone stopped and looked into the mountain stream tremblingly, only to see white clouds, and the bottom could not be seen. Hearing this, Wang Jinting panicked, trembling on the horse, his heart pounding. "Oh, Mr. Zhang was a hero all his life, so it's a pity to die!" "This ravine goes straight up and down, it's bottomless, and there's no way to save it!" "At this moment, Mr. Zhang's body may have already been smashed into meat paste." Hearing these arguments, Wang Jinting felt his eyes go dark, and he leaned back, a bodyguard was quick-eyed, and quickly stepped forward to hug him. Wang Jinting was in a daze, and he didn't know how he got to the inn in front of him.He lay in a daze on the kang in the posthouse, and his attendants brought him water to wash his feet. He soaked his feet in the water, and the hot water cooled down, but he still didn't feel it.The entourage persuaded him: "Master, who doesn't die? Sickness, old age, starvation, falling to death, beating to death, anger to death, and death. Do you think Dong Haichuan, the founder of Baguazhang, is a great hero? The grand master died on the chair; Huo Yuanjia was a master of Mizongquan, who defeated the Japanese Hercules, he was regarded as a world-class hero, but he was poisoned to death by the Japanese Akino at the age of 42! There is also Yin Fu, the chief guard of the Qing Palace, who once served Emperor Guangxu's martial arts teacher, known as 'Iron Bracelet', died of illness a few months ago. Zhang Sanye possessed unique skills, was a celebrity in the martial arts world, and was your best friend. His death is a pity, but people are dead after all. , you can't bring him back to life. Don't be too sad, don't break your body." Wang Jinting sighed, raised his feet, and got on the kang. He called a follower and asked him to follow the original path to search again, if he could find Zhang San's body.Wang Jinting set up a memorial tablet for Zhang San in the house, burned incense, and prayed three times before falling asleep. In the early morning of the next day, the entourage still hadn't come back. Wang Jinting's hope was shattered. Because of the heavy responsibility, he didn't dare to delay in the post station, so he had to go on the road in tears. The group traveled for four days, and when it was getting dark, they saw lights flickering in front of them, Wang Jinting hurriedly asked the guide what was going on.The guide replied: "We have entered the frontier of Tibet, there is a town called Ximen Town, we can rest there." The light was getting closer and closer, a group of people walked towards this side quickly, a leader sat on a horse, he got off the horse, and led the crowd to kneel down one after another.Wang Jinting saw that they were all in Tibetan attire.The leader kowtowed and said: "Greetings to my lord!" Everyone shouted: "Greetings to Dakong." Two Tibetan women held khatas and presented them to Wang Jinting.He felt strange, so he asked, "How do you know I'm here?" The leader answered in rough Chinese, "My lord, a warrior named Zhang from your house came here three days ago. We come to meet your lord, we have been waiting here for a long time." When Wang Jinting heard this, he was a little puzzled, and thought: Who is the warrior surnamed Zhang?
