A month ago... Sanhuang county is located on the edge of Chuzhou. With such a tight inventory, who are you looking for or encircling?

In the past few days, I just went to the deep mountains and forests, but I didn't pay attention to whether the official road had set up a barrier.

No matter who you're looking for, it's not me... Am I thinking too much? I can't rule out the possibility of adding me to the "blacklist" in the near future.

In any case, it's a search for one person, and it's also a search for two people.

Xu Qi'an tapped his fingers on the desk, analyzed and set short-term goals:

"he will leave for Xikou County tomorrow. If there is a problem there, it is very likely that it will be the place where the murder happened. In this way, there may be danger. Do you want to take the princess with you?

"Well, when it's near Xikou County, you can put her in a safe inn nearby. The princess is a good chess piece. Maybe she can save my life. I can't lose it. "

See Xu seven an ponder not language, adopt son clever sit aside not to speak.

As time went by, Xu Qian finally recovered from his meditation and said, "help me make a pot of tea."

Caier was happy and answered happily, which means that Xu Yinluo will stay here tonight.

Sure enough, after making tea, she listened to Xu Yinluo's command again: "change the sheets and bedding."

Caier's whole body softened with excitement, and her hands and feet quickly changed the sheets and bedding.

After a pot of tea, late at night, Xu Qi'an finished soaking his feet under the service of Cai Er, and then went to the bed to lie down and stretch comfortably.

Recently, I have been sleeping in the wilderness for a long time. I have had a very poor sleep experience and haven't enjoyed a soft bed for a long time.

"Lord Xu, I will serve you." Caier sits on the edge of the bed in full bloom and takes off her clothes while talking.

"Caier," Xu Qi'an said suddenly as she lay on the bed and looked at her, "do you think your bed is too soft and uncomfortable to sleep?"

"Mr. Xu is right. It's said that sleeping on a hard bed is better for the body. If the bed is too soft, people are easily tired." Caier said with a smile that this is the same as other people's study. Lord Xu is really a romantic person.

Xu Qi'an nodded and said seriously: "so for your body's sake, you sleep in my bed tonight."

Caier:

the next day, Xu Shuer left in the seventh floor.

Now it is deep spring, the weather is warm, even a little hot at noon, otherwise you can see the picture of clients shivering in the cold wind.

Xu Qi'an walked along the street, leisurely to the direction of the inn.

Suddenly, a line of soldiers in armour appeared in front of him. The leader was not the general in armour, but a man in black robe and mask.

His eyes only stayed on the man in black for a few seconds. Xu Qi'an quietly moved his eyes and passed each other.

"You wait!"

Behind him came the voice of the man in black, and the sound of strangling.

So sharp? Xu Qi'an turned around, his face naturally with a bit of vigilance, a bit of respect, bowing and saying: "my Lord, do you call me?"

The black robed man turned his horse's head and looked down at Xu Qi'an. He asked, "where are you from? Do you have a guide?"

"Yes."

Xu Qi'an said his false identity again.

The black robed man asked again, "have you ever practiced martial arts?"

With a low brow, Xu Qi'an replied: "the villain has talent for martial arts. At the age of 19, he has reached the peak of refining. It's just that it's difficult to practice Qi. Moreover, women's lust moves people's hearts, and it's the age to start a family, so he shows a little pride and regret.

The man in black looked in his face for a moment. Without saying anything, he turned his horse's head and carried on with the army.

"the Qi Xing Dao gradually shrinks and collapses with his breath.

"Hey, hey, there's a saying that people who only have waste have no waste skills. I perfectly solved the problem that Wufu is not good at hiding his weakness. The disadvantage is that when they are ready to go, they can't come out in the end, which is very uncomfortable... "

all men know this kind of suffering.

"This guy is wearing strange clothes, which should be the secret agent of zhenbeiwang in the information? Zhenbei Wang's spies appear in Sanhuang County, ah... "

they are really looking for someone, maybe looking for me, maybe looking for someone else.

As a matter of fact, the watchmen are also spies. They are the spies of emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, the watchmen are well-organized and enjoy the salary of the imperial court. The spy of the king of Zhenbei belonged to the "private soldier" of the king of Zhenbei.

They're out of the north, nothing. But here, even the imperial envoy has to give up three points.

Because they only represent the king of Zhenbei.

"As a confidant of Zhenbei king, I must know a lot about it. Why do I have to figure it out by myself? This case is different from Yunzhou case and Sangbo case. There's no need to do anything about it. There's a very clear goal: to find out the truth of the bloody slaughter."Such a large-scale killing can't be concealed, which means that I don't have to look for clues as in previous cases. Just catch him and torture him. If the other party is a villain, kill Zhaohun... "

when you return to the inn where you stay, the guests who get up early already have breakfast in the lobby on the first floor, but those who don't want to go downstairs will be told to send the breakfast to the room.

This naturally does not include the timid princess, Xu Qian did not come back, she will not take the initiative to let any man into the room, will not go out.

After so many days together, Xu Qi'an can confirm this.

She is a very insecure woman, probably caused by the experience of the first half of her life.

Xu Qi'an ordered the waiter to take the breakfast upstairs in a quarter of an hour. Then he went down the stairs to the door of the princess's room. His ear moved and caught the slight breathing sound in the room.

He is still sleeping..... His palm is close to the door. He uses the air engine to operate the door bolt and open the door.

On the bed, the princess lay on her side, sleeping in a dignified and quiet manner.

At this time, she had the appearance of a princess.

Xu Qi'an opens the window to let fresh air flow into the room. He sits in front of the dresser and resumes the case in his head.

Setting: Xikou county (suspected).

Killer: unknown.

Objective: unknown.

[Princess attacked]

location: on the way to the north.

Killers: northern barbarians, northern demons.

Objective: to prevent the king of Zhenbei from being promoted to the second grade and greedy for the body of Princess Lingyun.

"At present, the two princesses in beizhou didn't dare to contact each other, so they didn't want to leave the town.

"Zhenbei Wang is the commander in chief of Chuzhou. He holds the military power of Chuzhou. He can't go back to Beijing without summoning. However, Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty seemed to agree with his brother's promotion to second grade, and it was not difficult to call him back to Beijing. So the reason why the barbarians invaded the border can be explained.

"Was the case of blood slaughtering three thousand Li also committed at this time? However, the four masters, the tribal leader, didn't know about it. What's more interesting is that Chu Xianglong, as the deputy general, didn't know about it.

"Well, it can't be ruled out that a strong man of Manchu did it, but it didn't leak out. The mystic is also involved. What is he planning? "

Just thinking about it, he saw the princess rubbing her eyes and sitting up through the bronze mirror.

"Awake?" Xu Qian said with a smile.

The princess yawned and ignored him. She took the washing utensils and squatted beside the bed to wash her face and brush her teeth.

After washing, she looked disgusted and said: "it smells bad. It's full of powder. Some people will die on a woman's belly sooner or later."

you look like you can't make complaints about your husband's wife. Xu seven's mind is in the middle of his life. Of course, this is just his heart.

The princess certainly doesn't care whether he whores or not. What she cares about is that she left her last night to hang out and let her stay in the inn alone for a long time.

"You want to stop sleeping?" Xu Qi'an suggested: "an hour later, we set out to the west, to Xikou county."

"You're out of business?" The princess was taken aback.

"It's all done in the brothel." Xu Qi'an showed an unorthodox smile.

The night watchman's dark son is a secret, can't divulge, even if is harmless princess, Xu Qian also can't tell her. Otherwise, it's disrespect for the dark son.

However, it is precisely because the princess is harmless that she is not afraid to disclose these small details when she needs them. I don't think that with the princess's superficial scheming, I can't understand it.

Bah... The princess spat with a blush.

...

Jiaofang department, Beijing.

Fuxiang got up lazily, washed and changed clothes under the servant girl's service. After dressing in the mirror, she suddenly pressed her heart and frowned.

The next moment, his face returned to normal, and he said in a soft voice, "you go out first, I'll sleep for a while."

The servant girl was a little strange, but she didn't say anything. She obediently left the room.

After waiting for someone to walk away, Fuxiang takes out a fox head censer from the bottom of the bed, a dark incense. She cuts a lock of hair and wraps it around the dark incense. Then she lights the incense and inserts it in the censer.

Fuxiang respectfully put the censer on the table, knelt down on his knees and muttered to himself.

The black incense burns out at a very fast speed, and the ashes fall on the table, gathering confidently to form a short line of words:

it's time for you to return to your family.

Looking at this line of words, Fu Xiang's face was inexplicably excited, and he felt the joy of suffering to the end. But in the eyes, there is a trace of nostalgia.

...

Chuzhou City.

After three days of driving, the mission arrived in Chuzhou City under the escort of 500 troops sent by the king of Zhenbei.Among the thirteen prefectures of Dafeng, the central city is usually located in the middle of the region, but Chuzhou is different. It is close to the border and faces the barbarians and demons in the north.

People in the north often say that it was because the king of Zhenbei was in charge of Chuzhou city that it was able to survive the invasion of northern barbarians for decades.

In history, the city of Chuzhou has been destroyed twice and slaughtered twice.

However, in the reign of Zhenbei king, the weather around Chuzhou was good, and the barbarian cavalry did not dare to disturb Chuzhou, because the most elite troops in the north were stationed in this area.

Cheng of Dali Temple lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the towering wall. The walls were carved with complicated and strange patterns, which spread all over the wall.

On the female wall, there are some powerful weapons, such as artillery, bed crossbow and so on.

"According to Dafeng geographic records of Chuzhou, the walls of Chuzhou City are carved with array, and the walls are strong enough to resist the attack of the third class masters. It's better to see than to hear Dali Temple Cheng sighed.

The major cities along the border of Dafeng have all depicted similar arrays to strengthen defense. Every hundred years, the sky warden will summon all the warlocks to repair and replenish the array.

"If there is a king in the north of the town, the city of Chuzhou is as solid as gold." Liu Yushi agreed.

When the mission arrived at the gate of the city, it was found that more than a dozen officials had been waiting for a long time. The leader was a scholar with long beard and chest, a clear face, and the spirit of a frontier official.

Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Jiangzhou.

"Mr. Zheng, it has been three years since we left the capital." Liu Yushi came forward laughing and seemed to be quite familiar with Zheng Xinghuai.

Zheng Buzheng nodded slightly, with a smile on his unsmiling face. After some greetings, he led the people to the biggest post station in Chuzhou.

After settling down, Yang Yan and others sat in the hall talking with Zheng Buzheng.

"Mr. Zheng, your majesty and the princes heard that there was a case of" blood slaughtering three thousand li "in Chuzhou. They were so surprised and angry that they sent us to investigate the case. I hope Mr. Zheng will do his best to help." Liu Yushi Gongshou road.

Zheng Xinghuai, who already knew this, nodded slightly and asked, "how do you want me to help you?"

Yang Yan said straightforwardly: "I need the records of the border troops in Chuzhou, as well as the official documents of the local Yamen in Chuzhou."

Zheng Buzheng did not answer, looking around the crowd, inadvertently said: "I heard that the sponsor Xu Yinluo returned to Beijing because of injury?"

Liu Yushi sighed: "I was ambushed on the way..."

Zheng Buzheng frowned and said in a business tone:

"without the sponsor, it's convenient to act..... Of course, I can show several adults the official documents of the local Yamen. It's just the record of the border army. I'm afraid only the sponsor has the right to interfere. I will inform the king of Huai, but I do not guarantee that he will be accommodating. "

Liu Yushi and others were not angry. They said with a smile, "thank you, Mr. Zheng. Thank you, Mr. Zheng."

After the talks, Zheng Buzheng left on the ground of busy official business.

Cheng of Dali Temple looked at the censor Liu and shook his head: "unfortunately, the two censors are still censors. If they are governors, tut tut..."

censors were censors when they were in the capital. Once ordered to inspect the place, it is the governor.

The great power of the governor is directly superior to the three highest leaders, namely, the commander of the capital, the chief of the government, and the governor of the capital.

But it was because of the great power of the governor that Xu Qi'an was appointed as the chief official. The attitude of emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty was very obvious, and he could not let the mission check and balance the king of Huai.

Yang Yan light way: "this Zheng Buzheng emissary, how official?"

Liu Yushi said: "I have some friendship with him. He is honest and has a good reputation."

...

Sanhuang county.

Outside the city, in the shed beside the official road, the beautiful princess and the beautiful Xu Qi'an sat at the table, drinking inferior tea.

It's not far from the gate of the city. A pot of tea costs two Wen. It's very cheap. Besides, the location is very good. Under a big banyan tree, when the wind blows, it's cool and comfortable. Along the way, there are people coming into or out of the city to rest and drink tea.

Xu Qi'an holds a teacup and thinks about his plan of "interception".

If you want to get information from the secret agents of the king in the north of the town, you must not be in the city. It will not only affect innocent people, but also be killed.

The best way is to wait for the other party to leave the city.

Since it's looking for people, I'm sure I won't stay in a small county for too long. There are countless counties in the north, and it's impossible for every city or town to be filled with people.

So spies must be mobile.

He just has to wait.

At this time, he found some abnormal behavior of the men next door.

PS: ask for a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month. I have something to do this afternoon. I have delayed updating.
