Nightwatcher

After learning about the Sanqianli Blood Massacre in the Northern Territory, Pindao had an idea and turned into a flying swallow heroine to visit Chuzhou in secret. After untold hardships, he finally found Zheng Xinghuai, the envoy who had escaped by chance.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhenbei Wang's spy suddenly led his troops to kill him, trying to kill Pindao and Zheng Buzheng. It turned out that the enemy had already followed secretly, waiting for a rabbit.

But they encountered fierce resistance from the poor Taoists, and the poor Taoists took one against a hundred, just like Xu Ningyan did not retreat half a step when he was in Yunzhou, and finally repelled the secret agents of the King of Zhenbei, and learned about the massacre of the city from Zheng Buzheng's mouth Passed in detail.

This wave, Pindao is on the tenth floor!

The above is Li Miaozhen's inner drama, she really wants to put these words into her mouth, but with Xu Qi'an alone blocking tens of thousands of rebels and the lessons learned from the book fragment holders who dare not see their true colors, with Yunzhou Shi, For a moment, he was proud of himself, and he said in front of Xu Qi'an that "this general is really good at investigating cases" and the shameful experience.

Li Miaozhen, who is extremely keen on reasoning and solving cases, resisted the desire to show off, and replied truthfully: "All of this is actually Xu Yinluo's credit."

Xu Yingong? !

Everyone in the mission was stunned, not understanding what this had to do with Xu Qi'an.

Li Miaozhen said: "Xu Qi'an invited me to Chuzhou to investigate the case."

So the prime minister of Dali Temple stroked his beard, nodded and smiled:

"Li Daochang is really a master. Although he said that Tianzong's practice is the unity of heaven and man, and doing nothing is natural, but you don't care about fame and fortune. It's your business. We can't ignore your contribution because of this. You don't have to put all the credit on you. To Xu Yinluo."

Liu Yushi heard the words and echoed, "The mission will definitely report the situation to the court and ask for credit for you."

Xu Yinluo invited the Saintess of Tianzong to come to Chuzhou to investigate the case. This does not mean that the efforts made by the Saintess in Chuzhou are all due to Xu Yinluo.

Li Miaozhen was a little happy, a little bit benefited, and a little bit ashamed, and continued:

"Then I came to Chuzhou and traveled around looking for clues, but found nothing"

Everyone in the mission listened very carefully, knowing that this case was difficult to investigate, they were very curious about how Li Miaozhen found a breakthrough and found out the truth of the massacre case.

"But in fact, there are traces of everything. I found the body that exposed the bloody massacre for three thousand miles on the side of the mountain road outside the capital. He has no proof. How dare he come to the capital to file a complaint? There is another person. That person does not distribute newspapers and documents, but chooses to let people in the rivers and lakes carry letters. I guess he will repeat his old tricks.

"So I walked around Chuzhou in the name of Feiyan Lady, killing barbarians, punishing profiteers, and giving gruel to the people. Oh, poor people have a little reputation in the Jianghu. There are many people who know me, and even more people who know me

"Sure enough, within a few days, someone came looking for me secretly, hoping that I could help."

Wonderful!

Everyone in the mission was convinced and praised: "Mr. Li Daochang has an exquisite mind, and he can find clues to solve the case from this angle. We really admire it."

Chen Butou was ashamed and said: "I have been working in the yamen for so many years. I am ashamed and ashamed."

Liu Yushi said in admiration: "I originally thought that whether this case can be solved or not depends on Xu Yinluo in the end. I didn't expect Li Daochang to be more skilled."

The civil servants were not stingy with their compliments, partly out of sincerity, and partly because they were used to the politeness in officialdom.

The corners of Li Miaozhen's mouth twitched uncontrollably, showing a little pride, then cleared his throat, and said, "Poverty is not modesty. In fact, these are taught by Xu Ningyan, and we have been secretly in touch."

The laughter and praise suddenly stopped, as if the pause button had been pressed, and everyone in the envoy froze, looking blankly at the saint of Tianzong.

Why did Li Miaozhen save the most important thing for last?

Is this some kind of bad taste of hers?

a little embarrassing

No wonder Xu Yinluo wanted to leave the mission halfway and go secretly to the northern border. It turned out that he had already found a good helper from the very beginning. When His Majesty and the princes appointed him as the chief officer, he had already made a plan. When it comes to Xu Qi'an's horror.

It's not unreasonable for Sun Shangshu to be crushed by him repeatedly, and he is so angry that he has nothing to do.

This official was negligent, from the tax and silver case, the Sangbo case, the Yunzhou case and the later Fufei case, one after another, it all shows that Xu Yinluo is a person with rich experience and delicate thoughts, and should not be underestimated Fortunately, I still feel that he has finally stumbled this time. Dali Sicheng shook his head with a wry smile.

It turned out that all of this was in Xu Yinluo's plan, and it turned out that I was too naive.

As expected of Mr. Xu, the centurion Chen Xiao lifted his spirits and showed admiration.

The imperial guards also laughed, feeling proud.

Yang Yan nodded slightly, not surprised, as if he took it for granted.

Then, Li Miaozhen told the mission that Zheng Xinghuai had survived. Liu Yushi was very excited, not only because of the testimony, but also because he had a long-standing friendship with Zheng Xinghuai, and he was sincerely happy to learn that he was still alive.

"Xu Ningyan should still be on his way to Chuzhou City. I am much faster than him with my sword." Li Miaozhen confessed, and then asked:

"Where did the mysterious master go?"

Yang Yan recalled it for a while, then was startled suddenly, and said: "The direction he left is the same as the direction the barbarians fled."

Dali Temple Cheng's heart trembled, an incredible thought flashed through, and his breathing suddenly became short of breath: "Could it be, could it be?"

Liu Yushi was not slow to react, and said: "Could it be that he is going to hunt down Jili Zhigu? He is afraid that the forces in the northern border will lose balance. He is afraid that after this battle, the people of Chuzhou will suffer from the barbarians, and there will be no one to check and balance the barbarians."

Yang Yan and Li Miaozheng looked at each other and said in unison: "Let's go and have a look."

The latter added: "Come up."

Yang Yan lightly jumped onto the spine of the sword and stood with his hands behind his back.

Although a fourth-rank martial artist can fly in the air, his speed, height, and endurance cannot compare with Taoist swordsmanship. If you want to describe it, it is probably the difference between a motorcycle and a high-speed rail.

If you change to one running wildly on the ground and one flying in the sky.

Then Wufu will be faster, provided that there are no mountains and rivers blocking the way on the endless plain.

Flying north for a quarter of an hour, Li Miaozhen and Yang Yan saw Jili Zhigu, which was not difficult to find, because the other party was standing on the official road.

After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the strongest barbarian had only a shriveled body left.

His head was taken off abruptly, and the small half of his spine was left on the side of the road.

Li Miaozhen stopped, looked down from a high position, and murmured: "In this battle in the northern border, two third-rank warriors fell. This matter will surely spread throughout Kyushu and cause a sensation."

Yang Yan was in a daze. It turned out that the realm he dreamed of and wanted to achieve was nothing more than that in the eyes of a higher-level powerhouse.

Rank three, no matter which system or force, they are all leaders.

Yang Yan jumped off the spine of the sword, grabbed the spine, carried the head of the leader of the Qingyan tribe, and returned to Chuzhou City.

When he brought his head back to Chuzhou City and hung it on the top of the city, 20,000 soldiers looked up silently and shed tears.

The strong barbarian who had threatened Chuzhou for twenty years finally fell.

At the same time, countless people had doubts in their hearts, who is that mysterious strong man?

Hundreds of miles away from Chuzhou City, by the side of a certain pool, Xu Qi'an, who had just taken a bath, lay weakly on the huge rock that had lost its edges and corners washed by the pool water.

After grabbing the life essence of King Zhenbei and Jili Zhigu successively, Shenshu fell into a deep sleep, and he might not be able to wake up this time.

Unless he can have another wave of luck for nothing like in the ancient tomb.

Without the big muscle master monk to rely on, he suddenly felt insecure. Xu Qi'an looked at himself, and he found that after Shenshu showed his dark appearance, his physical strength had improved again.

It is like a canal that has been enlarged by a flood. Although the flood has passed, its traces cannot disappear.

It is sad that Lu Shuren would say that we are grateful to those who opened the tunnel, but we will always hold high respect to those who expanded the tunnel. Xu Qi'an has a deeper understanding of this sentence.

"After this battle, I have a deeper understanding of Huajin. It is a valuable experience for me to personally experience the battles of high-quality warriors and their use of power."

He braced himself up, sat cross-legged, and breathed out. After digesting in his mind for a while, out of professional habits, he began to replay the "Three Thousand Miles of Blood Massacre Case".

"Prince Zhenbei has two purposes for massacring the city. One: to refine blood pills to hit the Dzogchen, and then absorb the concubine's aura to officially enter the second rank. Two: to plan to hunt down Jili Zhigu and Zhujiu.

"The appearance of Zhen Guojian means that Emperor Yuan Jing knew about Zhenbei Wang Tucheng and even participated in it. Otherwise, Zhen Guojian could not have appeared in Chuzhou."

Seeing Zhen Guojian appearing at that time, Xu Qi'an was extremely frightened and angry. It's just that the enemy was at hand at that time, and there was no time to think too much.

"Emperor Yuan Jing, the dog emperor" Xu Qi'an let out a foul breath and told himself to restrain his anger.

"Emperor Dog knows about this, um, it cleared up a doubt for me. The knight who died outside the capital was killed by Emperor Yuan Jing. Only he can set up a net around the capital, screen and investigate. target person.

"In this way, why I was appointed as the host officer and why no governor was not arranged? All this can be explained because the mission is perfunctory, and there is no need to arrange a governor with too much power to check and balance King Zhenbei. As a last resort , The King of Zhenbei can also kill people.

"In addition, the mission also has another role, which is to escort the princess to the northern border. Although the dog emperor is not a son of man, he is still an old silver coin. However, I always feel that he trusts and pampers King Zhenbei too much."

Xu Qi'an pondered for a few seconds, and continued to think along this line of thought:

"Emperor Yuan Jing knows the truth about the city massacre case, so does Duke Wei know? Judging from my feedback to his remnant soul, he probably doesn't know. For an old silver coin like Duke Wei, his reaction may not be the real one. It was the reaction he wanted to show me.

"Assuming Duke Wei knows about this, how will he arrange it? With his character, he absolutely cannot tolerate King Zhenbei slaughtering the city, even if Dafeng will have a second rank because of it.

"But until now, I haven't seen any trace of Wei Gong's son. Well, in reverse, if Wei Gong knows about this, he will definitely stop it with his character.

"But King Zhenbei's third-rank martial artist, the number one master of Dafeng, how to stop him? There must be no such master among the watchmen, otherwise I was not the one who stopped King Zhenbei just now.

"Then how can we stop King Zhenbei?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Xu Qi'an's mind, and he thought of a word: drive away tigers and devour wolves.

In the northern border, only Ji Li Zhigu and Zhu Jiu can destroy King Zhenbei's good deeds. If it were me, I would reveal the location of King Zhenbei's massacre to his enemies.

"However, how did Duke Wei know that the massacre was in Chuzhou?" Xu Qi'an frowned, suddenly thinking of an unreasonable detail.

Before leaving Beijing, Wei Yuan told him that because An Zi was transferred to the Northeast, there was a lag in the intelligence in the North, which made him completely ignorant of the Three Thousand Miles Blood Massacre case.

"With Wei Gong's wisdom, even if he wants to draw away the dark pieces, it is impossible to completely evacuate the northern border. He will definitely leave a few chess pieces in fixed and important cities. Otherwise, he would not be Wei Qingyi."

Another side evidence was found, proving that Wei Yuan had concealed something.

Following the divergence of this thought, Xu Qi'an's thoughts gradually became clear: "Wei Gong asked me to talk to me specifically, and asked me how I planned to investigate the case, and I told him that I would leave the mission on the way and go north alone.

"Then he gave Miss Cai'er the contact information. As soon as I saw Cai'er, I immediately learned important information about Xikou County from her. Everything went very smoothly.

"In addition, Xikou County and Chuzhou happened to be separated. Does this mean that Wei Gong deliberately gave me false information and sent me to the west, and he didn't want me to participate in this matter.

"If that's the case, then he actually knows the situation in the north very well."

For a moment, Xu Qi'an's scalp tingled and his mood was complicated. There is both gratitude and instinctive fear of old silver coins.

"I'll go to Sanhuang County after I pick up the princess and meet up with the mission."

The next day, in the morning.

Xu Qi'an pretended to be so handsome that he shocked the party, shamed Gu Tianle's previous appearance, entered the inn, and knocked on the door of the princess' room.
