Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

It turned out that the old woman was Grandma Liu who had entered the Rongguo Mansion four times, and the young woman was Wang Xifeng's daughter Qiaojie. This village was called Daoxiang Village, and there were only a few families in the village.Qiaojie was brought up by Grandma Liu since she was a child, so she didn't want to leave Grandma Liu and lived in Daoxiang Village all the time.This morning Qiaojie went to the market to sell pigs. When she came back, she happened to see the prison cart. She went home and told Grandma Liu, so the two decided on this plan.Now the escort soldiers are poured with medicinal wine, so Baochai, Baoqin, Liu Xianglian, You Sanjie, Qing Niangzi, Bai Niangzi, Matchmaker, Hua Xiren and others are all released.

When the crowd came out, the white lady took a drunkard's servant's knife and killed all the dozen or so drunkards.At this moment, a puff of green smoke rose from the dirt road, Xue Jinlian and Cui Yingying led 200 elite soldiers to chase after him.Xue Jinlian and Cui Yingying were very surprised when they saw Baochai and others. Xue Baochai told how Grandma Liu and Qiaojie poured Baitaohua and others down and rescued them.Yingying was very happy when she heard this, and they went into the village to kill Baitaohua and the soldiers, but when they entered Grandma Liu's house, they saw seven or eight prisoners lying on the ground, but Baitaohua was gone.Grandma Liu shouted: "Our mother and I have poured her into this room, and Qiaoer even untied her belt and tied it up for her. Could it be that she can fly away?"

Everyone came to the kitchen and the inner courtyard, looking around, but there was no trace.Yingying said: "Since the white peach blossoms are gone, there's no need to look for them. Let's go back quickly. It's not safe for Grandma Liu and Sister Qiao to live here anymore. They might as well move to the Grand View Garden together." Baochai and others also agreed, so Grandma Liu and Qiaojie packed up some soft things, and took Bai Niangzi, Qingniangzi, Matchmaker, Su Xiaoxiao, Chen Hongbo, Baochai, Baoqin, Jia Jiasanchun, Liu Xianglian, You San Sister, Hua Xiren and others rode back to the country of Jiuxiang.

Fan Juanjuan led five hundred Weining troops and was ordered to guard the Luhuadang behind the Jiuxiang Kingdom. Around noon, she saw dozens of knight-errants who had escaped from the direction of the Jiuxiang Kingdom. The Weining army was all brave, and they defeated this group of defeated soldiers and fled.At this time, I saw a knight burrowing into the reeds, Juanjuan rushed over, and the knight ran so fast that he jumped into the water.Juanjuan took the bow and arrow from a female soldier, raised the bow and shot the arrow, which hit the knight's back, and the knight turned over and fell into the water.

It turned out that this knight was none other than Bai Mudan. She knew that the situation was over, so she killed a knight, took off the clothes of the knight and changed it on herself, followed the knight and fled here, unexpectedly got an arrow.However, Bai Mudan's injury is not serious and he is good at water, and he can swim and escape in the water. At this time, the Jiuxiang Country is very lively, and people decorate with lanterns and festoons to celebrate the eradication of hegemony.When Mu Guiying, Fan Lihua, Hongyue'e, Xue Jinlian and others saw that they had finished their work, they were afraid that Xishi would miss them, so they bid farewell to everyone and led the beautiful soldiers back to the country.

At this time, the white lady saw that Ban Jieyu was dead, so she invited the young lady to come to the country of martyrs.The young lady couldn't bear to leave Tao Yuanming, so she went back to Taohuayuan.The white lady bid farewell to everyone and led her troops back to the country of Lie Nv. Jia Baoyu and the others also wanted to go back to the Grand View Garden. The thirteenth sister said: "Why don't you ask Su Xiaoxiao to stay with me in Jiuxiang Country?" , invite Su Xiaoxiao to be the prime minister.Seeing that everything was going well, Cui Yingying bid farewell to the matchmaker and went back to Pujiu Temple.Because Liu Xianglian and You Sanjie were going to travel in Youling Country, they also left.

Chen Hongbo returned to the Grand View Garden with Baoyu and others, and set up a mourning hall for Luo Xiaozhi to pay homage to his friend, which was miserable.Chen Hongbo cried so hard that Baoyu and others couldn't persuade him. Early the next morning, Xiangling came running out of breath and said, "Juanjuan was taken away by the American soldiers!" Hong Bo hurriedly asked, "Why?" Xiangling said: "The beauty King Xishi was furious when Fan Juanjuan was stolen and rescued. He didn't think about the love of his children, so he sent someone to arrest her overnight."

While talking, Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin, Shi Xiangyun, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun, Qin Keqing, Li Wan and others also came. Hong Bo said: "Now I'm the only one who goes to America to intercede for Juanjuan. Juanjuan was convicted because of me. The law doesn't tolerate anyone, and she has no choice." Baoyu said: "Even so, it's better to let Daiyu write a joint petition and hand it over to Xishi, maybe it can reduce the crime." Everyone applauded, Daiyu dipped in thick ink and wrote the petition form, Hong Bo put it in his arms and was about to leave.

Baoyu hurriedly arranged wine and food for Hongbo to see him off in Daoxiang Village. Hongbo asked Baoqin to bid farewell to Lady White and Young Lady at Lie Nv Guojiao, and asked Xiangyun to bid farewell to Su Xiaoxiao and Shisanmei at Jiuxiang Country. Luo Xiaozhi did not die, the body that Hua Xiren and Jia Baoyu saw that day was the remains of a village girl nearby, because Luo Xiaozhi had been hanging for the longest time and his physical strength was weak, how could he catch up with Xiren, so after running for a while, he landed on Baoyu , The back of the attacker. Just passing by two people, they were dressed as scholars, when they saw Luo Xiaozhi, the tall one said to the short one: "Look at this girl, she is quite pretty." It couldn't be more suitable."

The two made up their minds and jumped out.When Luo Xiaozhi saw it, she collapsed on the ground in fright. The short man untied a rope from his waist and tied Luo Xiaozhi, and the two took turns walking towards the woods with their backs on their backs.After going up a few hills and walking for about thirty miles, I came to a forest of steles.There is a house in the forest of steles, the house is built with steles, and there is a couplet at the door: This word is written softly and gracefully, majesticly and magnificently. A man with the appearance of an official is reciting an oath in front of a tomb at the entrance:

As soon as those two people saw the official, they quickly shouted: "Your Majesty Wang, we have found a beautiful lady for you." Hearing the sound, the official turned around and saw him, and immediately shouted: "This is the good girl of that family, you Why do you treat her like this?!" The dwarf said: "Officer, this woman was found near the Red Mansion Country, and Mo San and I saw that she was pretty, so we recited it." The official was Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Because he hated official life, he resigned from the right army and brought his wife to live in seclusion here. His wife died last year.Wang Yizhi's apprentice taught calligraphy for free.These two students couldn't bear to be taught for free, and they always wanted to repay their teacher. When they ran away, they happened to meet Xiao Zhi, so they wanted to give the teacher another beautiful concubine, so they kidnapped her and came here. When Wang Xizhi saw the students robbing women from good families, he was furious. Seeing that Xiaozhi was unconscious, he hurriedly ordered the two of them to carry her to the bed in the house.Wang Xizhi brought warm water to feed the twigs.Xiaozhi gradually woke up. Xizhi asked about his life experience and gave his name.Twigs salute and worship.Xizhi also called Mo San and Mo Si, the two disciples of Caicai, to come and plead guilty.Xiaozhi Dayue wanted to set off because she was eager to return to the Red Chamber.Xizhi knew that he couldn't keep it, so he prepared some vegetarian food for Xiaozhi, and sent Xiaozhi to the exit of the forest of steles. Luo Xiaozhi arrived at the Grand View Garden in the afternoon. Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and his party were overjoyed to see that Xiaozhi was still alive, so they hurriedly invited them into the Yihong Courtyard.Knowing that Hongbo has gone to the American country, Xiaozhi said goodbye to the Daguanyuan sisters and went to the American country alone to find them. But Hong Bo traveled for a day, and at noon on the second day, he went to a post restaurant and asked the owner. He found out that there were more than 20 miles away from the American country.He felt hungry, so he ordered some food and drink, and drank it alone. At this time, I suddenly saw a big man with black beard and thick eyebrows barging into the restaurant. He was frighteningly black with piercing eyes. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he sat on the wooden board with his buttocks. .The restaurant brought food and wine, and the big man drank five bowls of wine in a row, wiped his mouth after drinking and was about to go out.The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped him and said, "Grandpa Hei, your wine fee and the loss of the wooden stool are a total of twenty taels of silver." When the big man heard this, he said angrily: "We gambled and lost all our money, so we came here to drink and drink. We owe the twenty taels first, and we will pay them back together next time!"The shopkeeper said: "you haven't paid off the fifty taels of silver you owed last time. If you don't pay it back this time, how can you be fooled?"
