Nightwatcher

Chapter 367 Complicated

The convoy was full of people from all walks of life with swords and guns. They spontaneously organized and followed after hearing the name of Feiyan Lady.

This was the third time they went out to hunt the barbarian rangers. Thanks to the heroine Feiyan's amazing skills, they returned with a full load this time, killing 120 barbarian rangers, capturing 50 horses, and taking 68 turns. swords, and the recapture of women and food looted by the barbarian cavalry.

War horses, scimitars, women and food suffered varying degrees of damage and death during the battle between the two sides.

The soldiers guarding the city squinted their eyes and saw the heroic flying swallow woman on the white horse. They immediately showed admiration, called to the guards at the top of the city, and greeted them with spears.

"Flying Swallow Lady, are you back? Oh, you killed so many barbarians again this time."

"Hurry up, escort Feiyan Lady to the yamen to receive the reward."

The city guards were overwhelmed with surprises, and they only thought that Feiyan Lady was the poster child of a hero in the world, and a great figure worth following.

Two columns of soldiers led the way and escorted Li Miaozhen and his party into the city. The people in the city warmly greeted the flying swallow girl on the white horse and the returned barbarian corpse.

Shout the name of "Flying Swallow Woman".

The people in the world behind Li Miaozhen straightened their chests and expressed their pride.

About ten days ago, Feiyan female hero suddenly came to Beishan County, in the name of doing justice for the sky, severely punished a group of profiteers who drove up the price of grain, robbed hundreds of stones of grain and grass, and distributed them to the poor and beggars who couldn't get rid of the pot.

The profiteers are backed by big bosses in the officialdom, so of course they will not stop there, so they sent troops to capture them. But they were repulsed one by one by Feiyan Nvxia.

The people in the market don't know what happened later, but after that incident, Feiyan woman recruited a group of people from the rivers and lakes in Beishan County to hunt barbarian rangers.

Then go to the government to receive rewards, and the rewards are exchanged for food, and porridge sheds are built outside the city, and donated to refugees and beggars who cannot afford food.

For a time, the good deeds of Feiyan Lady were widely circulated among the common people, and they talked about it with great interest.

There are even refugees from other counties and counties who walked tens of miles on foot and crossed mountains and mountains to Beishan County to wait for porridge.

After the charity was over, Li Miaozhen returned to the inn where she was staying, and took a bath under the service of Susu to wash off the bloody smell on her body.

She sat at the table, silent.

After passing the letter that day, Li Miaozhen made a high-profile appearance according to Xu Qi'an's opinion, and acted chivalrously everywhere, and now he has a small reputation in the northern border.

Due to the limited time for "debut", if he wanted to spread his fame throughout Yunzhou as he did back then, he would definitely not be able to achieve it.

A whole ten days later, there are countless people from all walks of life who defected to her. Some are for fame, some are for profit, and some are purely to fight against barbarians.

Li Miaozhen used Tianzong's mental method to make simple exclusions, and eliminated those with bad intentions. Those who stayed were mostly heroes of the rivers and lakes for fame and fortune.

In her opinion, as long as she is willing to do good deeds, fame and fortune are all right.

However, the person Li Miaozhen really wanted to wait for did not come.

"Master, has that kid made any new progress? Isn't he solving cases like a god? I'm afraid it's going to be the same." Susu held the tea and put it on the table.

Seeing the master frowning and worrying, Susu felt a little distressed.

"This matter is not that simple." Li Miaozhen had already learned the truth about the "Blood Massacre for Three Thousand Miles" case from Xu Qi'an through a letter from the ground.

"In the past few days, I have been thinking that if the bloodbath of three thousand miles really happened in Chuzhou, even if the government wants to hide it, the mouths of the people in the Jianghu and the common people will not be able to stop it."

Li Miaozhen frowned: "But no matter how I ask, no one knows."

Susu tilted her head, her stunning beauty revealed a rare contemplation, suddenly her beautiful eyes lit up, and she said happily, "I thought of it, I thought of it."

Li Miaozhen remained skeptical: "What do you know?"

Susu's scallion-like jade fingers twirled a strand of black hair, blinked playfully, and said with a smile:

"Think about it, if the massacre of three thousand miles really happened, but no one knew about it, could it be that the memory of the person involved was erased? It's like I can't remember why my father was convicted and sentenced to beheaded." .”

Li Miaozhen snorted when she heard the words: "A large-scale massacre on such a scale, even if the memory is erased, it will leave traces that cannot be erased. Barbarian spies will not find it? Are you really"

She froze suddenly, her eyes emptied a little bit, and she was stunned.

Susu hurriedly asked, "Master, what did you think of?"

Li Miaozhen came back to his senses, and pondered: "But your idea may not be a clue. If such a big thing really happened, which system can hide it from everyone, and what rank of strong can do it?"

First of all, she excluded Wu Fu, which is something that does not need to be thought about.

Then, two words came to her mind: Warlock!

Xu Qi'an once said that a high-grade warlock can block the secrets of heaven, block someone or something, and turn himself into a little transparent Li Miaozhen only feels that his brain is electrified.

The train of thought suddenly became clear.

In today's Kyushu, there is only one person she can think of for a warlock with this ability: Jianzheng.

Li Miaozhen trembled all over because of this guess.

Calm down, Xu Qi'an said, first make a bold assumption, and then carefully verify it. Before there is no evidence to prove it, everything is my conjecture, not the truth.

At this time, the door of the room was knocked.

Li Miaozhen said indifferently: "Come in."

While talking, the little ghost standing behind the door graciously opened the door and invited the guest to come in.

The visitor was a middle-aged man, one of Li Miaozhen's gangsters, a native of Chuzhou, named Zhao Jin, this man's cultivation was not bad, and he took the lead every time he killed a barbarian.

Not for fame or fortune, just because he is from Chuzhou, and wants to expel the barbarians and benefit the folks in Chuzhou.

Li Miaozhen, who was wearing ordinary clothes, was unsmiling, with the seriousness and calmness of a soldier, and said: "Brother Zhao, what do you want me for?"

Zhao Jin laughed boldly: "This time we returned with a full load. The rice grain we exchanged was enough for the refugees outside the city to drink porridge for three days. The brothers are very happy and want to find a restaurant to celebrate."

While talking, he drove to the table, dipped his finger into Li Miaozhen's teacup, dipped it in water, and wrote on the table: My lord wants to see you, it's about King Zhenbei's massacre of people.

"I just came here to ask, are you going to a banquet tonight?" Zhao Jin's voice was loud and his smile was generous.

Li Miaozhen stared at the handwriting on the table, was silent for a long time, and said: "Thank you brothers for your kindness, don't go."

Zhao Jin nodded, did not stay any longer, turned and left the room.

He went back to the lobby along the stairs, and a group of people from the rivers and lakes gathered around the table, drinking and eating meat, immediately asked: "How is it, does the Feiyan woman agree?"

Zhao Jin shook his head helplessly.

Everyone was disappointed and booed.

A heroine like Li Miaozhen is most in line with the appetites of people in the Jianghu. Among these people, there are many people who admire her in their hearts and want to marry her as a wife.

This kind of secret love, nine out of ten will end without a problem and become a memory many years later.

Zhao Jin drank a few glasses of wine, and went back to his room to sleep on the pretext that he was too drunk.

Closing the door, he took out a talisman that Li Miaozhen had just given from his arms, and ignited it with Qi Qi, heck, while the talisman was burning, he felt drowsiness flooding in like a sea tide, his eyelids sank, and he fell into a deep sleep.

In the haze, he opened his eyes again, and there was a beautiful woman in Taoist robes in the room, it was Li Miaozhen.

"This is a dream. What you saw was my Nascent Soul. Heh, although you didn't say it clearly, I know that some people already know my identity."

The dispute between heaven and man has been fermented for more than a month. Not many people know the truth about the fact that the saint of Tianzong is Li Miaozhen, and she is also the heroine Feiyan.

But that's not the point, Li Miaozhen stared at Zhao Jin and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"My real name is Zhao Jin, and I am a ranger from Chuzhou." Zhao Jin said.

Li Miaozhen nodded slightly, as if she had the ability to tell whether he was lying in the dream, and then asked:

"Who is your lord? How do you know about the massacre of the people by King Zhenbei? As far as I know, no one in Chuzhou seems to know about it except Manzi."

Her implication is that you are a knight-errant, it is impossible to know the inside story.

"My lord, he"

After secretly investigating and visiting for several days, Chen Butou had no choice but to return to the station, saying that he had not obtained any valuable clues.

Liu Yushi pondered and said: "I think we can find a breakthrough from Zheng Xinghuai, the chief minister of Chuzhou. This person has always had a good reputation and is deeply loved by the people in Chuzhou. He is a rare good minister.

"If he knew about it, he would never have concealed it and refused to report it. Perhaps, he was threatened by the King of Zhenbei and the Commander of the capital. Why don't we go to him to find out what he said, and let him know the reason."

Yang Yan looked at the Prime Minister of Dali Temple and the other censor, seeing that they had no objection, thought for a while, and said, "Then go to the chief envoy's yamen."

Immediately, he took Liu Yushi, who had a friendship with Zheng Xinghuai, and rode a horse to the chief envoy.

After the transmission, Zheng Xinghuai received the two in the inner hall.

Knowing the purpose of the two people's visit, Zheng Xinghuai, who was rigid and serious, frowned, and asked back: "You two, I have a question to ask."

Liu Yushi smiled and said, "Please tell me."

Zheng Xinghuai glanced at Yang Yan and Liu Yushi, and said: "The so-called blood slaughter for three thousand miles is only because of a few words revealed by the remnant soul of a corpse. With this, it is necessary to investigate King Huai. Don't you adults feel that it is too rash? .”

Liu Yushi frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Zheng Buzheng smiled, "I am in charge of the affairs of Chuzhou. It is clear where there is turmoil and where there are barbarians looting. If such a thing really happens, believe me, Duke Huai will not be able to stop the people from all over the world." Mouth, the reason, Liu Yushi should be able to understand."

Even the emperor, it is impossible to gag the mouths of the ministers, let alone King Zhenbei.

Liu Yushi stopped talking, and sat there frowning, lost in thought.

At this time, Yang Yan said indifferently: "In this case, why hinder the mission from handling the case?"

Zheng Buzheng's smile remained unchanged: "Duke Huai is a prince after all, and the imperial court sent a mission to investigate him. In the eyes of the soldiers, it was a false frame at this time. It is human nature for them to complain about Duke Huai.

"What's more, King Huai sits in the north and holds the military power in his hands. There are many people in the court who want to cut his military power. What happened to the mission in Chuzhou City is just a stress reaction of King Huai's family."

Liu Yushi and Yang Yan looked at each other, got up and said goodbye.

Riding on horseback and walking side by side, Liu Yushi turned his head, looked at Yang Yan, and said, "Yang Jinluo thinks that what Mr. Zheng said makes sense?"

"have no idea!"

Yang Yan's answer was straightforward, he worked so hard these days, he was just looking for clues for Xu Qi'an, so that after the two parties reunited, the mission and his party could not find any clues. Too embarrassing.

But he is not good at investigating cases, he just finds the case inexplicable and complicated.

"My lord is the only survivor. He narrowly escaped from Duke Huai's butcher knife, and has been running around ever since."

As soon as Zhao Jin finished speaking, Li Miaozhen interrupted him coldly: "Duke Huai is a third-rank martial artist. How can your lord be able to escape from his butcher knife? Besides, since you have been lurking by my side for a long time, why haven't you shown yourself?" , until today?"

"It's a long story."

"Tell me first, who is your master." Li Miaozhen frowned.

"My lord is Zheng Xinghuai, the chief envoy of Chuzhou," Zhao Jin said in a deep voice.
