Pingrong City.

This is a military town on the southwest border of Dagan. There are 40,000 border troops stationed in the city, like the Dinghai Dinghai needle, piercing under Dingguan Mountain adjacent to Nanyi and Haizhou.

The original appearance can no longer be seen clearly on the black city walls. The carving knife of time left a lot of traces on it, the mottled scratches and the impact sags everywhere seemed to express everything it had experienced in another way.

There are five military towns like this on the southwest border. These five military towns form a wall of iron to isolate the route of the southern Yi invasion.

In the morning light, a team of cavalry in light armor quickly ran out of Pingrong City, running along the mud paths in the hills towards the dense forest in the distance. From the flags flying behind the cavalry, it can be seen that this was a team of scouts.

Scouts like this are not uncommon outside Pingrong City. Scouts go out of the city to investigate the enemy situation almost every day. However, the difference today is that the leader of the team was Yin Shang, the captain of the scout camp.

In the military system of Dakan, although the captain is still a lower-level officer in the army, he is also a ceiling among the lower-level officers. He can lead a battalion of troops with one foot.

In addition to his outstanding enough, Yin Shang was able to become the captain of the scout camp at the age of double 10, and one of the most important reasons why Yin Shang was able to become the captain of the scout camp at the age of double 10 was that his surname was Yin!

There is a saying in Haizhou that you may not know who the governor of Haizhou is, but you must not know who the leader of the Yin clan is.

The Yin family of Haizhou, whose ancestor was Yin Tianzheng, the founding hero of the Ganchao. He made great contributions to following Taizu to fight the world and was awarded the title of Duke of Wei and guarded Haizhou for generations. In addition to this ancestor who laid a solid foundation for the Yin family, the Yin family also produced three queens, four imperial concubines and two Shangshu Lings. Most of the children in the clan were trained in the army.

After more than 600 years, the Yin family has reproduced here, with its tribes spread all over the prefectures, counties, and industries, forming an extremely huge network that has wrapped the entire Haizhou tightly. Even if the governor of Haizhou came to take office, the first thing he did was to visit the head of the Yin family and then go to the yamen.

Today, the Yin family in Haizhou has become a giant. The entire Haizhou is obviously belonging to the imperial court, but in essence it is the surname "Yin".

In the past century, although the saints have disappeared, the head of the family is still the Duke of Wei and the governor of Haizhou. He has commanded 150,000 border troops and 50,000 navy troops, a total of 200,000 elite troops.

Logically speaking, the previous Gan Emperors should not just sit idly by the Yin family to control Haizhou, which has become a huge hidden danger now. However, because the Gan Kingdom has a vast territory and slow communication, Haizhou is located at the southernmost end and has been fighting with the Southern Yi for many years, and cannot do without the Yin family army. In addition, the previous Yin family heads are all loyal to the Gan Kingdom and are good at hiding their strength and maintaining a low profile. When Emperor Gan found something was wrong, the Yin family had become a big trouble.

Amid the rapid sound of horse hooves, the team of reconnaissance cavalry who were out quickly arrived at the edge of the forest. The first step was the lush forest, which belonged to the territory of the Southern Yi.

"Well~"

The leading knight strangled the horse's head and stared at the forest in front of him.

"Second brother, will Lao Hei and the others' disappearance be related to the King of Zhenxi?"

Next to him, a young man wearing a bowl helmet, two red feathers inserted on the top and mountain armor said to Yin Shang beside him.

His name is Yin Jun and Yin Shang, both are from the fourth family of the Yin family.

“The possibility is very high.”

Yin Shang turned over and jumped off the horse. Lao Hei's team was an old man in the camp. He had been in and out of Lin Hai for many years. For them, even if they closed their eyes, they would not get lost. Now they suddenly disappeared, which is 90% related to the King of the West.

"I heard that the guards around the King of Zhenxi are all masters. I really want to see if they are so powerful as the rumors say!"

Yin Jun's eyes were shining and his whole body exuded a strong fighting spirit.

"Don't be careless. It is definitely not easy to make the Secretariat helpless. Our mission is to find their whereabouts, rather than fighting them, and just leave the rest to the Secretariat's people!"

Yin Shang glared at his fourth brother seriously. Although the two were just cousins, they grew up together and joined the army together. They had a very good relationship. He definitely did not want to see any accidents with this cousin.

"Don't worry, second brother, I'm responsible and won't be bad."

Yin Jun grinned.

Yin Shang shook his head and said nothing more, but was looking for something around. Soon he found a mark on a big tree, which was a unique mark in their scout camp.

"You two stay, and the others come to the forest with me!"

It is not advisable to ride a horse in the forest, so you can only walk. After Yin Shang left the two of you here to guard the war horses, he led his men to rush in along the direction guided by the sign.

After half a day, based on the remaining marks, they successfully found the missing scout in a forest.

"There are no people, the other party is very strong. Lao Hei and the others didn't even have time to react, so they were cut off from behind, even the traces were wiped away, or there were no traces left at all!"

Eleven cold bodies were carried to Yin Shang, and everyone's faces were gloomy.

Yin Shang squatted down and touched his eyelids one by one by one by one. After a moment of silence, he stood up and said, "Let's go look for it separately. It's absolutely impossible for the other party to leave no trace!"

"yes!"

Not long after, they appeared at the camp where Liu Feng stayed overnight last night.

"Second brother, some of them have curbed the aftermath and wiped out the traces of leaving!"

Yin Jun and his men searched around and came back to report the report.

"It doesn't matter. If the second prince wants to go to Jingzhou, he must go north. We chase north. There are so many of them, so there will definitely be some clues!"

Yin Shang looked at the north and said quietly.

"yes!"

In a blink of an eye, Liu Feng and others had been walking in the forest for four days. According to the guide, they could walk out of the forest for another two days.

"Young Master, I just saw Zhao Hai and the others going to the second prince's tent again. They didn't listen to your words in their hearts at all, and their hearts would be punished!"

In Tang Hao's tent, the servant said angrily.

After the team separated, Tang Wei gave the two hundred Black Hawk Guards, the most elite in his hand, to Commander Tang Hao, and told him to protect the safety of the queen and the prince. Although Tang Hao was reluctant to part with his father, he quickly calmed down and tried his best to lead the Black Hawk Guards to escort the queen and his son. However, he soon discovered that the two commanders of the Black Hawk Guards were actually very close to the second prince Li Jun.

This immediately made him wary. After all, when his father left the mansion, he repeatedly told him not to get too close to the second prince, so he personally found the two of them and persuaded them.

The two agreed very readily, but they still did their own thing afterwards, which made Tang Hao secretly annoyed.
