Early the next morning, several riders crossed the ravine and came to an open space with messy footprints and blood stains.
The first man was wearing a round-collared robe with a round collar, and his body was as fat as a ball. Even though he was riding a tall horse, he still looked bigger at the top and smaller at the bottom, which was completely weird.
What's even more strange is that the entourage behind this person and the mount on his crotch are constantly blowing out warm white air from his mouth and nose, but his face is sweating non-stop, as if he is in a completely different season from others.
"There is a fishy smell." Zhaoyang Jun fanned in front of his nose and frowned: "The people who were killed here last night must have had their feces and urine flowed out."
At this time, several subordinates were digging with tools in the distance. After a while, they exclaimed: "Found it, found it!"
Lord Zhaoyang rode forward and saw dozens of corpses strewn across a sunken ditch, most of them stripped of their clothes.
The subordinates took the corpses out of the ditch one by one and moved them to the ground to place them in order. Zhaoyang Jun became interested and dismounted from his horse to observe closely. From time to time, he leaned down to examine the corpse carefully, examining the deceased like a yamen prisoner, trying to restore his original experience. "The wound has some traces of scorch, it is indeed the Yanfeng Sword." Zhaoyang Jun picked up a broken arm, not tired of being dirty, and even brushed away the dust himself
"What a man, Cheng Sanwu, in a short period of time, he was able to cultivate the Yanfeng Sword to such a state." Zhaoyang Jun's words did not mean any joy or praise.
One of his subordinates asked: "Were all these people killed by Cheng Sanwu?"
"Are you sure that this person has not done anything to harm the imperial government?" Although Lingzhou knows Fang Haixin well, the person who is so valued by Tianxiang Pavilion is definitely not an abnormal person.
Fang Haixin chuckled and said: "That's for sure, just letting the horses be frightened at the same time is powerful enough."
Lingzhou was too lazy to worry about the minutiae and replied loudly: "You have seen no one practice that sword technique, but it's a pity that it has little effect. There are people like him who can have raging flames wrapped around their swords."
After asking around, I found out that when Eunuch Feng was in Chang'an, he frequently visited Wu Brigade Commander.
Wei Ying replied: "You don't have a clan uncle, but you are an inspector in Jiedu Mansion. I think you often deal with businessmen. When you introduce a few benefactors to me, you should be able to open the door to convenience."<
/p>
What makes me feel satisfied is that Eunuch Feng and others did not retaliate. The demeanor of such a righteous knight opened Wei Ying's eyes.
In recent years, the Rong and Di tribes in the north have been frightened by the military power of Xiaoxia. In addition to being specially recruited and settled by the imperial court, they have not taken the initiative to move southward. Therefore, the Yangjun area is also populated by Hu and Han people, and there are not a small number of merchants traveling from south to north.<
/p>
As for Eunuch Feng, Zhao Fanghai secretly made a decision. He wanted to kill this man, and at worst, cause a small trouble, which would implicate Ah Fu and make you guilty of knowing people. p>
Watching Wei Ying help Deng Huijun out of a newly purchased carriage, Fang Hai asked Eunuch Feng, "Did he use the Yanfeng Sword Technique last night?"
"Perhaps Eunuch Feng made his own decision?" the superior asked tentatively.
"That's serious." Lingzhou said: "You went to Lingwu for business, so you will definitely not be protected by the government, which is naturally worse."
"Good or bad, you are also going to Lingwu." Eunuch Feng said: "Since the Wei brothers have no relatives or friends working in Jiedu Mansion, I guess they can still help you."
"Oh, this is in keeping with his good fortune." Eunuch Feng laughed and said, "Let's go back to Lingwu!"
Since receiving the order from Tianxiang Pavilion to monitor Fang Haixin's actions, Zhao Huyi has been secretly planning and sending people to inquire about Eunuch Feng's origins.
At that time, no rider came, and Zhao Huyi crossed his hands and saluted: "I'm telling Zhao Fanghai, you haven't questioned the owner of this inn yet. I heard that it was Eunuch Feng and we took action to rescue a couple. "What's this mace about? Look at it, it's quite delicate." Eunuch Feng stared at the long leather bag under Fang Hai's back, and tied the edges tightly to ensure ventilation.
"So that's what I'm talking about." Eunuch Feng smiled proudly: "The flames under this sword are basically produced by internal strength."
Therefore, Eunuch Feng and his entourage drove dozens of horses down the official road, and they looked unusual. In the middle of the journey, few businessmen even took a fancy to the horses and later chatted with them.
"At that time, another group of people with obvious origins arrived. It was said that they were coming for the couple. The two groups fought for a while outside at night, and then left after a while. The store owner did not know the rest of the inside story.
."
Whether such a wilderness scene could last for too long, we continued to retreat along the Anle River for a few days, crossed the Yellow River, and passed through Mingsha County. Yangjun City was right behind us, where Shuofang Jiedushi was in charge.
The power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very small, and sometimes it may even be a prelude. But when things reach that level, it often means minimal dangers and crises, which can usually be handled by a green ribbon envoy.
Thinking that this beautiful Hu Ji, who has always been humble and hypocritical to me, was pressed down by a stupid man like Fang Haixin, and allowed to be beaten to death by this person, crying and screaming, Hu Yi felt jealous in his heart.
Surges so violently that one orifice almost bursts out of fire.
At this time, Zhang Fan finished talking about the business, took a money bag and took a careless inventory. He heard me complain: "You fed too much fodder for a few days, and the horses lost a little fat. These Han merchants kept the prices down like crazy. It's really
So cunning!"
Wei Ying was naturally extremely grateful to Eunuch Feng and others for taking the initiative, but he was also very vague about how the seven of him and his wife had repaid them.
A small number of people here are not aware that the embroidered messengers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have no distinction between high and low status. They use ribbons as a distinction when walking in Yishanfang, and they are similar in rank and color to the imperial officials, with red and purple being the most noble.
Green is humble.
The one who came forward to negotiate with these businessmen was not Lingzhou, but Zhang Fan. Eunuch Feng watched me talking loudly to the businessmen, and even clasped his hands with his sleeves, clearly bargaining.
"Eunuch Feng, we have a reason, why did we kill those people?" The superior explained: "If we meet robbers on the road, it seems that we will bury them."

Retreat northwest along Malingshui, cross Qinggang Ridge, and reach the boundary of Fanghai.
"He just doesn't have much restraint on me." After leaving Chang'an, Tianxiangge personally summoned Fang Hai and told him: "Whatever Eunuch Feng wants to do, he will try his best to cooperate."
Xiaoxia divided the sky into seventeen roads. Although Lingwu also belongs to Guanzhong Road, this place has not been named Shuofang since the Han Dynasty. The scenery is very different from Guanzhong. The wind and snow alone are so severe and violent that it makes people sigh.
The new wind is cool.
The Ten Tai Sui Rong is a capable person. If he makes frequent mistakes, he will be expelled even if he can complete his errands. It is said that the next Zhao Hu Yi killed a group of embroidered messengers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs because of his mistakes. He was afraid of crime in advance.
If he absconds, it is up to Yan Fengjun himself to kill him as a warning to others.
Considering that the Eight Masters of the Yinlong Division mentioned the dual cultivation of Heqi and Eunuch Feng's frequent visits to Fang Haixin, it is probably not a matter of having sex with Afu.
The person here may be Ming, but Zhao Hu Yi knows that Fang Hai's new territory is used to communicate privately with dignitaries in Chang'an and to obtain confidential information.
"Lingwu... the salt pond is haunted." Zhao Huyi looked at the corpses on the ground and suddenly grinned: "In that case, don't blame you for adding less firewood."
In fact, for Lingzhou, the life and death of Cheng Sanwu and his gang are not important. As an embroidered messenger from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he has killed innocent people in order to complete the errands sent by his subordinates. The conscience of abnormal people has long been abandoned.
In front of the head.
Lingzhou took it from the opponent's hand, sniffed it for a while before opening it, and said, "Is that... the ointment?"
"I am a Sogdian, and those people are not famous for being good at business." Lingzhou explained with a smile: "As soon as Zhang Fan learned to walk and talk, he started doing business with his family. He was immersed in it, and no matter how stupid he was, he learned it. As for the secret method of riding a horse.
, I said that our ancestors made some kind of contract with a white horse god, so that they can understand the horse language and can command the horses at will with the whistle."
Last night, in order to deal with Cheng 351 and his men, Lingzhou devised several methods in a hurry, and finally relied on everyone's ability - Zhang Fan cast a spell to scare the horse, Xu Qiba intercepted in secret, and Feng Gongzheng had a face-to-face confrontation, trapping Fang Haixin and others.
Kill them all in the ravine.
"If he fails that errand, he can be promoted to the Red Ribbon before he comes back." Tianxiangge's words still echoed in his ears, making Lingzhou feel more and more that Fang Haixin has hidden abilities.
"That group of people have cocoons in their hands and don't have any superficial martial arts skills." Zhao Hu Yi laughed warmly and looked at the crevices of the ditch where the corpses were thrown: "The soil buried underneath is quite thick, so it should have been buried in a hurry."<
/p>
Facing Wei Ying, Lingzhou changed his rhetoric. I planned to try to get information about the Lingwu Salt Pond by selling private salt.
With this in mind, Zhao Huyi plans to get afu himself in the future. He must taste every inch of your body, and then use the tonic technique to improve his own skills and strive to occupy a lower position among the ten Taisui. p>
In the early years of this dynasty, Lili expanded its frontiers and mobilized people from the mainland to settle and build cities in the Yangjun area. They also built water conservancy projects and developed culture and education here, and prosperity gradually emerged.
Lingzhou explained: "Zhang Fan was able to retreat to the Ministry of Internal Affairs because of the secret method of controlling horses. He then learned some other spells through the guidance of his subordinates. If he passes by, don't expect that my spells can be used to fight, even if it means vomiting."
I can do all the tricks of swallowing fire and sword."
Compared with going to Fang Hai to find out the truth about the evil spirits in Yanzhou, Fang Hai's real mission during this trip was to observe Eunuch Feng's every move.
"I heard that we were ordered to rescue people." Zhao Fanghai was full of answers.
Moreover, unlike the densely populated areas of Gyeonggi and the city walls everywhere, there is no small piece of deserted wilderness in Yeongmu. If you push aside the snow, you will see a sandy land with dense weeds.
……
The boundary guarded by the Shuofang Jiedushi is the northern barrier of Chang'an. Therefore, before the current emperor establishes the Shuofang Jiedushi, the person who can take the post must be a highly trusted prince and minister.
"Not entirely." Zhaoyang Jun saw a corpse with no knife wounds, pressed the cold and stiff flesh carelessly, and said after a moment: "Soul-destroying whip technique, it seems that these embroidered cloth messengers who are traveling with him are different from Feng
Father-in-law cooperates tacitly."
Before all the family slaves led by Fang Haixin were killed, the seven Wei and Deng people temporarily escaped pursuit.
……
Most of the embroidered messengers who can wear purple ribbons are in the Gongchen Guards, who are stationed in various provinces and are responsible for supervising the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction. They have a low position and power. There are more than 80 purple ribbon messengers in the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs.
.
"Why is that Zhang Fan so good at everything?" Upon seeing this, Eunuch Feng asked Lingzhou, who was resting on his horse, loudly: "He knows magic and can control horses, but he can't even do business." "Sogdians? You have seen them in the Western Regions." Eunuch Feng wrinkled his nose: "We are very cunning. We never once released false news in Quzhi City that the Uighurs were attacking, causing the price of wheat to rise seven or eight times overnight.
We stocked up in advance and made a huge profit. Local people almost lost their lives in order to buy food in case of an epidemic."
None of the ten Tai Sui men are good women and believers in men. They are always wary of each other and will set foot on other people's territory if necessary. Even if Zhao Fanghai covets Afu's beauty, he would take the risk of invading Wu Brigade. Who knows that there are no traps outside? p>
Lingzhou looked surprised: "How did you do this?"
"Businessmen are traitors. Although I have said that, it still makes no sense." Lingzhou said.
Yangjun City borders the Yellow River to the east and Helan to the west. It is surrounded by a narrow strip of land nearly 800 meters from north to south, with lush water and grass and flat soil.
There is basically no place like this in Gongchenwei's tenth year. The young master uses it to cultivate his personal power, which may not be completely under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Since Eunuch Feng and his entourage left Chang'an, Zhao Hu Yi also led his own subordinates to follow them all the way. For fear of being noticed by the other party and following too closely, they could only follow our footsteps and secretly watch our every move. "Several benefactors, you are not ready yet and cannot go back to Fang Hai at any time." Wei Ying settled down before Jun Deng Hui and later thanked him.
Wei Ying immediately raised his hands and saluted: "There is no trouble for my benefactor. I must go through fire and water to repay you!"
However, this is the only way to explain why Eunuch Feng was able to master the Yanfeng Sword Technique in a short period of time. It must be the result of the dual cultivation of Aiki.
"As long as he kills an official of the imperial court in public or openly plots rebellion, he can't let me do it. Naturally, no one will help them clean up the situation." When Tianxiangge said that, his tone was so wonderful that Lingzhou shuddered. After years of construction, the Yangjun area is rich in products, with abundant local fish, salt and millet, and has no reputation as the north of the Yangtze River. In the past, when the imperial court sent troops to the north, it seldom requisitioned grain and fodder from the Yangjun area, or transported supplies from inland prefectures and counties to Yangjun.
For scheduling.
Zhao Hu Yi first accepted the letter, then pondered for a moment and said with a warm smile: "It seems that Fang Haixin is really peaceful. It would be bad if he lived like that. Let's see what trouble I will cause."
"Mother...Xia Zhangjun gave you a pot of ointment. I usually use it to apply it under the knife to prevent it from rusting when it is stained with blood." Eunuch Feng rummaged through the bag on horseback and took out a white glazed clay pot. p>
"You recognize these two words. I heard that it is an ointment obtained from the body of water birds, which is specially used to maintain swords." Eunuch Feng waved his hand and said: "This night after departure, you were oiling the sword. It's a big mistake."
I lit the rag stained with grease. I had an idea during the fight yesterday and I came up with this method. To put it bluntly, it was just to scare people."
"Senior Brother Zhang has bad eyesight, how did he notice it?" Eunuch Feng seemed to be planning to change his mind and completely regarded himself as a disciple of the horizontal sect.
