The shopkeeper and the waiter were already numb. They consciously carried the body to Niushan and threw it into the weeds piled up by the three black-clothed guards. As soon as they arrived, dozens of wild wolves were biting the minced meat they had thrown away before. When they saw someone coming, they stared at the green eyes and approached.

The shopkeeper and the waiter quickly left the body and ran away. The cold wind whizzed, and the cold sweat was pouring on, and the noise of wild wolves biting came from behind.

In the inn, Han Mu explained to the two of them the origin of the Black Guard. The predecessor of the Black Guard was Huan Wen's spy organization all over the capital. Later, after Xi Chao's improvement, he absorbed many dead soldiers. These people were all desperate people. Many of them had martial arts, men and women. They usually collected various intelligences and thought they were used by Huan Wen and others, and they could also be used as assassins and thugs at critical moments.

These information are all information found by Junjie. Although Junjie's intelligence network in Beijing has not been well built, important organizations like Black Guard still cannot escape his investigation.

Chen Chong sighed and said, "I have only heard of this black guard. I really cannot reach the details of what the general knows as detailed as the one who is in the town, but why did these people come to this town?"

Han Mu said: "It is obviously coming to spy on the movements of our Beifu Army. Look at these people wearing ordinary clothes, hiding their swords in their clothes, and when they stay in the hotel, they also wrapped the entire inn to prevent their whereabouts from leaking. This is a typical black-clothed guard movement technique, but these people obviously relaxed their vigilance in this remote town. In addition, the black-clothed guards have very strict discipline and dare not do a lot of evil in the capital. When they go to remote areas, they will naturally indulge them."

Chen Chong said: "Master, in the eyes of the villain, there must be more than one team of people who go to the surrounding area of ​​Chaohu City to spy on it. I am afraid that there will be no choice but to deal with them in the next few days."

Han Mu nodded and said, "Be careful and try to avoid conflicts. After these four people are missing, the black-clothed guards will definitely come to investigate, but we have arrived in the capital by then. We will persuade the store and waiter to leave tomorrow, otherwise their whole family will suffer an accident."

Chen Chong nodded and said yes, and said a few more words. They went back to their rooms to rest. Su Hongling and Han Mu naturally took care of each other in the same room. At night, they heard the sound of wind and whistled, and the howlings of wild wolves on the hill were faintly sent. I think the bodies of those people had been divided up.

The next morning, just dawn, Han Mu and others got up and dressed up. Unexpectedly, the owner of the shop brought the waiter to pack everyone in the house in two large carriages and wait in the yard for Han Mu to speak.

Han Muqian comforted him after hearing this. Each family gave him a hang of money and guided them to settle down in Chaohu City, Jiangbei, 60 miles away. The store owner and Xiao Er thanked him. When Han Mu and others set off, they locked the store door and rushed west.

An hour later, the four horses rushed over and stopped in front of Niushan Inn. A tall and thin man in the lead dismounted and looked at the locked door of the shop: "Lu Jiatou, the manager clearly asked us Chen Shi to come here to meet him, why is this inn closed?"

The middle-aged man known as Lu Jiatou said: "When you go in through the window, you will never miss the situation. There is only this inn here, so you can't make a mistake."

Two men walked in through the window and jumped out of the window after a while and said, "The inn is empty, and even the shopkeeper and the waiter's things are gone. There are traces of fighting in the lobby, and there are traces of blood in the corner."

Lu Jiatou pondered for a while and said, "Go to search nearby and see what you can find."

The four of them rode their horses in the twilight and searched.

...

The weeds in Niushan were covered with mess, and the clothes and flesh were torn everywhere. There were also a few half-bitten heads tilted into the grass nest, making people feel creepy.

Lu Jiatou and several others rode their horses in front of this mess, frowned.

"Old Zheng, quickly return to Beijing, inform General Wang Xun, and inform the four gates of the people who were holding black-clothed guards' license plates to enter the city. The numbers are: No. 9, No. 74, No. 79, No. 193, and the road should not be delayed."

"Subordinate to obey the order." The old Chen clasped his fists and rode his horse down Niushan, raised his whip and thrust his horse's buttocks, leaving the world.

The remaining three people turned their horses and chased them along the traces of the two carriages heading west.

A simple black carriage went south to avoid the official road from Jiankang City to Dangtu County, and detoured along the path. The curtains were lifted, and a flower-like face was revealed.

Su Hongling whispered: "The peach forest here is so beautiful, all the peach blossoms are in full bloom."

Han Mu stretched his head and looked at the peach blossoms blooming like clouds on the path, nodding and praised: "The beautiful scenery is really refreshing. If I hadn't been with me, I would have wanted to stop the carriage and linger."

Su Hongling tilted her head and said, "One day, you will always be free. Then we will find a beautiful place to have fun, okay?"

Han Mu smiled and said, "Of course, I can, but I don't know when I will be free."

Su Hongling smiled and said, "There will always be something, I believe it."

Han Mu smiled without saying a word. Chen Chong, dressed as an old servant sitting in the shaft of a carriage, had a smile on his face and whispered to himself: "The mountains and rivers are broken, like the wind blowing, it's strange that the general has free time."

Su Hongling seemed to hear something and asked, "Brother Chen, what did you say?"

Chen Chong smiled and said, "I said, this annoying spring breeze makes people drowsy."

Amid the laughter of the three, the carriage accelerated and disappeared into the peach forest full of peach blossoms.

...

At noon, three men in black chased the carriage that was heading west. Within a few words, the shopkeeper revealed the stuff and told the story of last night.

Lu Jiatou pondered: "A weak young man, an old servant, and a maid; the old servant and the maid suppressed the four of them with their hands? Who can do such a skill?"

A man in black said, "Can they be the remnants of the Xie family? Didn't it say that Xie An's nephew and brother served as senior generals in the Northern Palace Army? Will you get the news now and rush to return to Beijing to rescue Xie An?"

Lu Jiatou said: "It is very likely that one of them must be Xie Xuan. The other one is probably Xie Shi who is dressed up as a servant. Both of them have martial arts skills, but I don't know who that woman is. There is no Kung Fu among the Miss Xie family."

Another man in black said, "Can it be that Han Mu? Xie An is his clothes. If Xie's family gets the news, can he sit back and watch?"

Lu Jiatou said, "How could Han Mu take risks with his own life? Xie An is just a springboard for him to climb. The two of them have no blood relationship, called you. Are you willing to leave the city protected by tens of thousands of soldiers in the Northern Palace Army without being alone, and run to the capital to rescue a person who has no blood relationship with him?"

The man in black smiled and said, "If Xie An also gave his talented and beautiful niece to my escort, maybe his subordinates would go and save him."

The three of them laughed. Lu Jiatou glanced at the inn shopkeeper and waiter who were kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "You can only blame you for causing trouble that you shouldn't have caused. Go with peace of mind."

The three men's swords came out like the wind, and instantly killed the thirteen people from the two families who were scattered and fleeing. They turned over and turned back, heading straight to the direction of the capital.

Two days later, Han Mu and others came outside Health City and saw the towering city walls and towering towers from afar. Han Mu felt a sigh in his heart that this city was once so familiar, but now it seems so strange.

The soldiers on the left and right sides of the city gate were arranged in a very strict manner, and there were also small groups of soldiers patrolling back and forth in the city wall. A few days ago, the curfew had been relaxed. The city gate had allowed people to enter and exit, but the people who were in and out of everything had to strictly check and show the documents proving their identity from the local county government. From time to time, they forgot to bring their identity documents or did not know much about this, and the white soldiers were arrested and entangled in the prison. Several prisons in the capital were crowded these days.

The carriage was parked in a small woods more than a thousand steps away from the city gate. Han Mu looked at the black license plate in his hand and said, "I don't know if this thing can work."

Chen Chong said: "Realistically speaking, it should not be a problem, it is just to be careful in everything."

Han Mu said: "You are right. There are four license plates, and we only have three of them. Why not try one?"

Chen Chong took a license plate and said, "Young Master, look at me."

Han Mu watched him get off the carriage and walk outside the forest with interest, stopped a commoner who was about to enter the city and said, "Brother, I am a worker in the city. My stomach is really unbearable and convenient. This license plate is what the military master at the door wants. Please give it to him so that I will not ruin major military affairs. There is twenty cents here, which is a reward, and I am in trouble."

The commoner said suspiciously: "Let me give it to the military master at the door? You can give me twenty cents in just a few steps?"

Chen Chong covered his stomach with pain and said, "Yes, I feel so painful, but I can't fall into my crotch. If I smoke Jun Ye, I'll be beaten. If I'm dirty, I'll lose my head. What do you think I'll do? Stop talking, you're lucky. Go quickly and go quickly, I can't hold it in my arms." After saying that, a loud fart rushed out from behind.

The commoner covered his nose and frowned, but he couldn't hide his excitement and hurriedly ran towards the city gate.

Chen Chong ran into the woods, and the three of them looked at the city gate attentively. The people trotted to the city gate and handed the license plate to a soldier at the city gate, and said something while pointing fingers.

The soldier looked at the license plate several times, and suddenly grabbed the people and pulled him to the ground; other soldiers rushed in and tied up the people.

The people cried and pointed at the grove. Han Mu saw this and whispered: "Go!"

When a group of soldiers rushed to the woods, Han Mu and others had already gone through the woods for several miles. The soldiers searched around for a long time and found nothing. Then they stopped the team in disappointment. Someone had already sent the 193 license plate to the designated location and reported the situation one by one.
