Chapter 59: Night Capture

  Liu Shaoyan was also delighted after Jiang Yunshui agreed, but he told Jiang Yunshui that it would not be late to send him over after the Five Provinces Green Forest Meeting.

  Because this Green Forest Assembly of the five provinces is a big deal in the Jianghu, and Peng Tianyong had Jiang Yunshui come over, it was also to let him see this scene.

  Liu Shaoyan naturally guessed it, and he also had something to do now. To say that he immediately sent Jiang Yunshui over was impossible. Liu Shaoyan still needed to contact his senior fellow apprentice at the Beiyang Military Academy.

  Liu Shaoyan had the brothers from the Beggars' Sect take Jiang Feng and his three companions to their resting place, while the crowd of Beggars' Sect members gathered at the City God Temple naturally had matters concerning their sect, which Jiang Feng and his companions were not convenient to hear.

  After the beggars helped Jiang Yunshui and his group arrive, they immediately bid farewell and left. The place where Jiang Yunshui and his four companions are currently staying is not as good as in the city, but it's better than sleeping outdoors.

  The girl in the armor, it turns out that Jiang Yunshui and others also knew her identity and name, originally called Wang Lan, a young girl who was the adopted daughter of Wang Zhenyuan, the head of the Wang's Escort Agency. Today, she followed Jiang Yunshui and others secretly all the way, which is why she discovered the Qing soldiers gathering outside earlier, as well as the Golden Helmeted Man, and informed Wang Zhenyuan in the first place, allowing Jiang Yunshui and others to escape from the tiger's mouth.

  Jiang Fengshui and the other two naturally thanked her again, while Wang Lan was not petty-minded at all, but rather had a heroic bearing of a Jianghu chivalrous woman, calling Jiang Fengshui and his companions "brothers".

  The four of them were very happy to chat for a while, and then they started to feel sleepy. Although Wang Lan was tomboyish in nature, she was still a girl after all, so it was impossible for her to sleep with Jiang Yunshui and the other three big men together.

  When they returned to their rooms to rest, Jiang Fengshan and the other two again talked about what had happened during the period. They also did not expect that Jin Manzhao would no longer be a beggar gang elder, but instead rely on the old government office, and today's appearance clearly wanted to capture Jiang Fengshan to win merit.

  "That old dog must have gotten a lot of benefits!"

  Qian Chenglin was also indignant and said: "I didn't expect that within the Beggar Clan, which is known for its 'Righteousness that Lasts for a Thousand Autumns', there would actually be such a degenerate!"

  Jiang Fengshui was also quite depressed in his heart, but now his thoughts were mostly on the things mentioned in that letter, so he didn't scold like Chi Pengzu and Qian Chenglin.

  After the three of them had chatted for a while, Qi Pengzu and Qian Chenglin started snoring, while Jiang Yunshui, who had been tossing and turning since lying down, still hadn't fallen asleep.

  Jiang Yunshui finally got up, quietly opened the door and walked outside. All around was dark, with only a few stars in the sky, while most of them were blocked by clouds.

  But the weeds beside were swaying in the night wind, emitting bursts of "rustling" sounds, which made the place even more quiet and secluded.

  Jiang Yunshui stood there, but his mind was filled with countless thoughts. From the content of that letter, he couldn't help but think of the things that had happened a month ago, and scene after scene kept emerging.

  In the end, Jiang Yunshui let out a long sigh, as if he wanted to spit out all the stagnant air in his chest.

  Just as Jiang Fengshui was about to turn around and go back into the house, a sudden voice appeared from behind him. The voice sounded like the chirping of crickets, but it was not possible for there to be any at this time of year, so Jiang Fengshui immediately turned his head to look.

  However, when Jiang Yunshui turned around, the voice was gone. Jiang Yunshui thought he was just being too nervous and having an illusion, so he turned around again to open the door.

  But when he turned around again, that voice appeared once more. This time Jiang Yunshui heard it clearly and felt it wasn't his own illusion!

  And the sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer to him, Jiang Fengshui's hand on the door handle tightened, his left hand hanging down also clenched into a fist, and his feet were slightly spread apart.

  Just as the voice was less than a step away from Jiang Yunshui, Jiang Yunshui suddenly turned around and kicked back with one foot. He felt that he had kicked something, but no matter how hard he tried, he felt like he was wasting his effort. The force he applied to his leg seemed to sink into something like cotton.

  Jiang Feng's leg was quickly caught by a hand, and then a strong force came from his leg, directly pulling Jiang Feng to the ground, and then he was dragged away quickly.

  The person who was dragging Jiang Yongshui away didn't slow down at all, and soon disappeared from view. Then, from inside the house, Chi Pengzu suddenly rushed out, followed by Qian Chenglin popping his head out.

  The two of them separated and searched around in a circle, but still couldn't find any sign of Jiang Yunshui. However, the two of them were slightly relieved, after all, from this situation, it seemed that Jiang Yunshui was not in danger of losing his life.

  When Na Chi Peng Zu went to knock on Wang Lan's door, he heard a woman's voice behind him say: "No need to knock, I'm outside."

  Chi Pengzu was astonished to look at Wang Lan, and Qian Chenglin also walked over from the side with a surprised expression. Wang Lan, who was being stared at by the two of them, calmly said: "Before you came out, I had already heard the movement outside and found some clues!"

  Na Chi Peng Zu and Qian Cheng Lin, busy letting Wang Lan lead them to the place where they found the traces, twenty paces outside this house, the grass there was obviously trampled.

  Wang Lan squatted down and picked up a broken blade of grass, saying: "The break is still very obvious, it seems that Jiang Yunshui left from here."

  Chi Pengzu shook his head and said: "It's impossible for our leader to leave quietly by himself, there must be something fishy going on. Moreover, I heard some movement outside the door!"

  Qian Chenglin said to the two of them: "I'll go to the City Guardian Temple first to find the beggars' gang and ask for their help in finding the leader."

  Chi Pengzu nodded and said: "Alright, you go quickly, I'll follow Wang Lan along here to continue moving forward, maybe we can find the leader!"

  Qian Chenglin and Chi Pengzu bid each other farewell with a word of caution before parting ways, heading in two different directions.

  Qian Chenglin, who was on his way to the City God Temple, suddenly fell off his horse and didn't get very far before he did. Then, a man with a long pipe appeared from behind a tree and quickly tied Qian Chenglin up into a tight knot!

  Chi Pengzu and Wang Lan, who were chasing along the trail, suddenly saw a figure appear in front of them after they had chased for a while. As a result, Wang Lan didn't follow Chi Pengzu, but instead rushed forward first. Under Chi Pengzu's reminder, she quickly disappeared from sight!

  Chi Pengzu rode his horse cautiously closer, at this time a net was poured down from the tree, directly covering Chi Pengzu's head.

  Hei Pi, who was following Chi Pengzu, rushed out at the critical moment. Chi Pengzu and his horse were caught in the net, and then five or six people flashed out of the forest, coming forward to tie Chi Pengzu up with a big rope.

  Jiang Yunshui, who was being dragged by the kidnapper for a while, had his mouth covered and was thrown onto the horse. The kidnapper also mounted the horse and galloped away, eventually arriving at a mountain peak after traveling tens of miles.

  That man carried Jiang Yunshui like a chick, carrying him up the mountain. On the mountain, halfway up, there were buildings, and in the middle, there was a large hall. The person who entered inside casually threw Jiang Yunshui to the ground.

  Jiang Yunshui, who had fallen to the ground, couldn't see anything in front of him. The black cloth completely blocked his eyes. However, he heard someone say: "Third Master, you're really something! You caught a hostage so quickly!"

  Jiang Feng heard another very rough voice say: "You think you can't handle the third master, but catching such a small thing will take how much longer!"

  The woman beside him laughed and said: "Old Three, what's with the footprint on your chest? Don't tell me you kicked yourself!"

  That rough-voiced old three heard the woman's joke and choked for a moment before saying, "It was kicked by this kid who wasn't paying attention."

  Jiang Yunshui heard that after the three masters finished speaking, there were laughter and whispers from the men and women around them, and some people even continued to talk about the three masters.
