Leaving Cangwu, we go further south to Nanhai County, then turn west and enter Yulin County. Along the way, the officials are all polite to Long Fei, and treat Long Fei as a Shangguan in everything they say and do. Zhuan Nai, the prefect of Nanhai, is Shi Xie
His eldest son, Shi Qian, the prefect of Yulin, was the third son of Shi Xie. After passing Yulin, he continued to the west. Judging from the terrain, he should have entered the boundary of Guangxi, and then he arrived at Jiaozhi, the capital of Jiaozhou.
Everyone was enjoying themselves along the way. Guo Jia asked Long Fei: "My lord, do you really want to drive away all the wealthy families?"
Long Fei looked at Guo Jia. Everyone in Long Fei's Wumuya were also Yingchuan nobles, and there were not many fringe figures like Guo Jia. Guo Jia was also worried that if Long Fei really wanted to attack the wealthy family, the four chiefs of Wumuya would
Will he take back all the disciples he sent? In that case, it would be extremely detrimental to Long Fei, or even a disaster.
Seeing that Guo Jia was silent, Long Fei smiled and said: "There are many kinds of scholars. The local tyrants and evil gentry who get something for nothing will naturally be expelled. But if they show pity to the people, they will naturally accept those who like them. People have good and bad people, and the gentry will naturally have good ones.
Bad, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao and Feng Xiao, you scholars from Yingchuan worked hard for the peace of the world and were kind and righteous to the people. I heard that the Xun family was deeply supported by the people in Yingchuan. Scholars like this
Home is naturally the object of our inclusion.”
Guo Jia smiled: "If the world is at peace, what do you plan to do with these noble families who are supported by the people?"
Long Fei said: "The world is at peace. Does Fengxiao think our Long family can be considered a scholar family?"
"Uh!" Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Of course, he is the biggest scholar in the world!"
"Then if I take the lead and set an example, what will happen to the other scholars?"
Guo Jia looked at Long Fei, shook his head slightly, and suddenly said: "Master, my lord! Only today did I see clearly that my lord has plotted the entire world."
Jiaozhi is the largest county in Jiaozhou, and it is also the administrative seat of Jiaozhou. Jiaozhi is bordered by barbarians to the south, and to the north is an endless forest. There is only one road leading to the outside from the east and west. To the east, there are lush forests, the South China Sea, and Cangwu as a barrier.
Yunnan is where Jianning relies on. The mountain roads are difficult to navigate and vehicles have difficulty entering and exiting. It is indeed like a paradise.
The war horses stepped on the weeds on the roadside, and a breeze blew. The rice in the rice fields on the left and right sides was growing just right. The people were working. Pedestrians passed by from time to time. When they saw Long Fei's group, they quickly stood on the roadside to avoid it. They walked forward for more than ten dozen years.
On the way, they came to a town store. The soldiers leading the way hurriedly reported that they would reach Jiaozhi soon, and asked Long Fei and others to rest here first.
Long Fei did not enter the town shop, so he found a grassland outside the town. A group of people sat around and ate some dry food and drank some water. Long Fei lay on the grass and looked up at the sky. Although it was late autumn in the Central Plains, Jiaozhou was still
It was still very warm, and the bright sunshine was particularly comfortable on his body. Long Fei closed his eyes unconsciously.
"Boss! Boss!" Dian Wei held the iron halberd in one hand and pushed Long Fei with the other. Long Fei didn't expect that he would fall asleep and quickly opened his eyes. The look on Dian Wei's face told him that something big must have happened. Dian Wei
Seeing Long Fei wake up, he hurriedly said: "Big man Xu said that someone has been following us and asked me to protect you. He led people to chase him!"
Guo Jia and Xu Shu were all by his side. Long Fei stood up and looked around. The scenery was still the same, and the birds were still chirping in the sky. Some of the three hundred personal guards were taken away by Xu Chu, and the rest were held by Xu Chu.
The weapons in their hands gathered around Long Fei. "What's going on?" Long Fei asked Xu Shu.
Xu Shu hurriedly replied: "While resting, Xu Chu looked around and found someone in the forest to the north. He said something and led the people to chase him."
"How long have you been gone? Can you send someone back?"
Xu Shu shook his head: "It's been just a quarter of an hour and we haven't sent anyone back yet."
Long Fei looked at the leisurely Jiaozhou soldiers not far away, rolled his eyes, slowly sat down, and asked Guo Jiadao: "Who do Fengxiao think it could be? Shi Wei, Shi Zhuan or Shi Qian?"
Guo Jia smiled: "No matter who it is, we will know it all when Xu Chu catches one of them."
After another quarter of an hour, Xu Chu and several guards finally came back, and sure enough they brought with them a few people dressed in black with branches and weeds stuck all over their bodies. Seeing that Xu Chu and others were fine, Long Fei smiled: "
He actually learned how to disguise himself! How is it, have you recruited him? Who sent him?"
Xu Chu didn't say anything, but took out a few jade pieces with dragon patterns from his arms and handed them to Long Fei: "These were found from them."
After everyone looked at it, they were all surprised. Dian Wei almost screamed, but Long Fei glared at him. He quickly lowered his voice and looked at Long Fei and others: "Hei Bing, this belongs to Hei Bing! Hei Bing has followed you here.
coming."
Long Fei silently put away a few pieces of jade and turned to look at the men in black kneeling on the ground. These guys must have been repaired severely by Xu Chu and the guards, their clothes were torn.
After all, everyone had a bruised nose and swollen face, and they were trembling all over. Long Fei asked: "Tell me, who sent you here, and why are you following us?"
"Sir, it's unfair! We are hunters from nearby! We are hunting!" The leader quickly defended, looking at Xu Chu next to him who was still a little scared.
Before the guy could finish speaking, Long Fei glanced at him. Xu Chu raised his knife and chopped off the guy's head. Blood spurted out several feet long. His head rolled to the side, but his mouth was still moving. He looked left and right with his eyes.
Slowly losing its light. The remaining men in black kowtowed in fear and begged for their lives. Judging from the dragon-patterned jade pieces of these people, they were the lowest assassins in the black ice, so Long Fei interrogated them like this.
Long Fei once again turned his attention to the remaining people: "Can anyone tell me who sent you? Why are you following me? Answer the question and promise not to kill him!"
A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks hurriedly took two steps on his knees: "I said, I said! I said everything, yes..."
As soon as he said the word "yes", several arrows suddenly flew out from the rice fields on the left, hitting the backs of the men in black. The men in black slowly fell down. Dian Wei picked himself up.
He rushed over with his two halberds, and a dozen guards hurriedly followed. A few archers disguised as farmers in the rice fields turned around and ran into the woods. They were so fast that they might not be able to catch up even on a flat road.
Looking at the dead bodies and the farmers hiding in the woods in the distance, Long Fei frowned. As expected, Hei Bing was still haunting him and even chased him here. He called Dian Wei
After returning, Long Fei ordered to set off immediately. Since Black Ice could send the first batch of assassins, he would definitely send the second batch. Even if he wanted to fight, he had to find a place that was easy to defend. This kind of wilderness is not a good place.
When Shi Xie heard about Long Fei's assassination, he went ten miles out of the city to greet him. Soldiers were stationed on both sides of the road to prevent the assassin from attacking again. Seeing Long Fei's face, Shi Xie quickly handed over his hand and said, "I didn't entertain you well, and I frightened the general! What a sin this old man is."
It's serious, please punish me, General."
Long Fei quickly helped him up and offered words of comfort. He and Shi Xie walked side by side and headed for Jiaozhi. In addition to Long Fei, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were all guessing in their minds.
Pay attention to Shi Xie's movements. Although Jiaozhou cannot be said to have an iron wall, considering the prestige of the Shi family, it would be difficult for Hei Bing to gain a foothold in Jiaozhou without the help of people from the Shi family. When the assassination occurred, those who were responsible for leading the way would not be easy.
None of the soldiers felt frightened. The place where they rested was arranged by those soldiers. It was too much of a coincidence that they rested there and met the assassin there.
It was still a banquet, and there were still all kinds of welcomes. Because the assassination disturbed everyone's mood, no formal topics were discussed. Shi Xie's governor's palace was unusually spacious, comparable to the imperial palace, and it occupied a spacious area.
The land area occupies almost half of the entire Jiaozhi City. In the west courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, Shi Xie specially set aside a large courtyard for Long Fei and others to live. It seems that in order to please Long Fei, except for the servants, all
All sentry guards withdrew, leaving Long Fei to take care of himself.
The yard is very large, divided into two entrances. There is also a small garden at the back, with all kinds of lush flowers and plants, and bees and butterflies flying in it. Long Fei and the others were sitting in the pavilion among the flowers. Long Fei asked while admiring the flowers: "
Do you have any clues? Can you tell who sent you?"
Everyone shook their heads. Xu Shu said: "I sometimes think again, could it be Zhuge Liang? There has been no movement from Hei Bing. This time, as soon as the lord came out, Hei Bing followed him. After the four elders of Jingshan disappeared,
, Hei Bing's power in Jingzhou is respected by Zhuge Liang, and without his consent, Hei Bing will not take action against us."
Guo Jia shook his head: "I don't think so. Those assassins are obviously the worst people. Based on Zhuge Liang's understanding of the Lord, he would never send such people here. If it were Zhuge Liang, he would definitely send top assassins who would hit with one hit. Why?
Exposing yourself, I think these assassins have a lot to do with Jiaozhou. Don’t forget, there is a business of hiring murderers in Black Ice. As long as you pay them, they can kill anyone!"
"Who could that be?" Dian Wei stood up loudly: "Tell me, I will chop him alive right now!"
Xu Chu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Shi family controls the entire Jiaozhou, what else do they have to be dissatisfied with? My lord came here just to unite, why do you want to attack us?"
Guo Jiadao: "Having said that, it can also be said that the Shi family is a big family with many brothers and sisters. Who doesn't want to be the governor of the state or the governor of the state? Why is it Shi Xie instead of Shi Wei or Shi Yi?
Shizhuan, it is not strange for brothers to fight against each other in order to fight for the throne. Maybe it is not the right time for my lord to come to join forces this time, so he is regarded as a stumbling block by some people."
Long Fei nodded: "Feng Xiao's words make some sense. Xu Shu, immediately use our manpower in Jiaozhou to investigate everything about my general's family!"
