Four hundred and ninetieth chapters spooky spooky spooky sprite
Dark clouds cover the moon, and a thin mist covers the hills. The already gloomy dense forest of mass graves makes it even more eerie.
A knight rode by with his eyes slightly squinted, as if he had fallen asleep on his horse.
The horse galloped on its own like a psychic, making a stampeding sound on the muddy road after the fresh rain.
Suddenly, torches were erected on both sides of the road and emerged from a pile of tombs. A group of people wearing black short-sleeved uniforms rushed over with weapons in hand.
Immediately, the knight's eyes suddenly opened, his eyes condensed, he lay forward sideways, drew his sword and threw it forward, cutting off the stumbling rope. There were ouch sounds from both sides, thinking it was the two people who pulled up the stumbling rope.
Shake to the ground.
The knight didn't know how many people there were in the dark night, and he didn't want to fight, so he rode into the forest.
Suddenly, his ears twitched and he pulled out a short blade from his calf. There were figures on both sides of the tree, falling from the tree. The bright blades in their hands shone with a chill in the moonlight.
The knight on the horse turned around lightly, and as soon as he made a move, he went straight to the opponent's vital point. He moved twice between lightning and flint, cut his throat and stabbed his heart. The two killers on the tree were killed instantly.
There was a rope hanging on their waists, which seemed to have been prepared for a long time. After the killing, the knight cut off a piece of their robes and stuffed it into the quiver on the horse. Then he reached into his arms and touched
A silk man nodded with satisfaction.
He rode out of the forest, took out a piece of dry food, took a bite, and fed the rest into the horse's mouth. Then he uncorked the wine bag, raised his head and drank a few mouthfuls, then put it in the horse's belly and galloped away.
.
When the sky broke at dawn, the suburbs of Bianliang City were already in front of us. With the bright light, we could see clearly that the knight was wearing a scarlet brocade robe, the old attire of the Long Live Battalion.
The establishment of the Long Live Battalion, which was created to build Gen Yue, has been cancelled. Most of the people have entered the Duwei Mansion, and some capable personnel have become Yang Lin's personal guards.
After riding into Bianliang, the man went straight to Zhaode Square and saw Lu Qian at the door.
Lu Qian smiled and said, "Hu Ce, how come it's so fast? Has the news arrived?"
The man on horseback jumped off his horse and said: "Hey, don't mention it. There are thieves blocking the road along the way. I don't think these people are strong men who gathered to cause trouble. Marquis Yu can send someone to investigate. I have important military information here."
, is the young master at home?"
"I'll take you there." Lu Qian ordered his men to take his horse to the stable, and personally led the way to a courtyard.
In the courtyard, Yang Lin was playing with a huge piece of cardboard, with names densely written on it. If you look closely, they are all officials of the Central and Central Government.
Behind each name, there is a brief comment. Hu Ce suddenly saw Shangguan Yun, with the four words "Kill me to death another day" written behind him. The familiar names outside also include Cai Jing, written behind him.
"Can't leave the city". There were also some unknown names, and there were comments of a few words at the end, such as confiscating the family and exterminating the clan, falsely accusing them and expelling them... It was easy to determine their path.
Based on Yang Lin's careful calculation, he will definitely put it into action one by one. Some of the people who changed the outline after a few sketches may be those who saw the opportunity and have already defected to the wall.
Hu Ce couldn't help but secretly dumbfounded. The old salt king also had a nickname of domineering. If he really wanted to talk about evil intentions, it would have to be the little salt king in front of him.
"Shao Zai."
Yang Lin got up from the cardboard, still holding a writing brush in his hand. Liu Rongniang next to him quickly took it and wiped his hands with a towel.
"Why did you come back so soon? How was the battle in Cochin after I left?"
Hu Ce took out a piece of silk from his arms and said, "This is what Fang Shuai asked me to bring to Shaozai."
Yang Lin took it over, unfolded it, and beamed with joy: "Fang Qifu really has a solution. The civil strife in Jiaozhi is beyond control. This small place is very evil. Don't use weapons rashly. It's best to let them fight among themselves."
Fang Qifu said one thing in the letter. He had already started to ask people from the Intelligence Department to rescue the queen. Now that the old emperor is dead, the queen has not been killed for some unknown reason. It is said that it was for the tiger seal, Yang
Lin secretly laughed in his heart, they are really a bunch of deadheads. What a bullshit Tiger Seal. At this time, you should root out the roots first and remove the hidden danger of Queen Lanying. After you have the power, you can peel a carrot and use it as a Tiger Seal, and no one will do it.
Objection. When you are not strong enough, even if you have the jade seal passed down by us Han people, it will be of no use.
If people from the Intelligence Department rescue Queen Lanying, the Jiaozhi rebels will be even more confident. Now with the support of the Song Dynasty, they still can't defeat the Li Dynasty's army, but there are many in the army.
People are loyal to the old emperor. Li Yanghuan was violent and eccentric, and he killed his father when he came to power. Many people were extremely dissatisfied with him.
Hu Ce frowned and said: "Young Zai, I encountered at least seven or eight night attacks all the way back. It seems that there are people who specifically attack those who deliver orders from the imperial court."
Yang Lin said "Huh?" and cursed: "It's not surprising that this happened. These bird people are the worst. When you come and go, beware of sneak attacks and try not to walk at night."
There is constant chaos in the local area, with monsters and monsters spreading everywhere, and it is impossible for me to cover all places like I control Bianliang.
Yang Lin frowned and pondered for a long time before saying: "The biggest problem now is that there are too many wilderness areas along the way. It is difficult for brothers to find a place to rest at night. There are also many strongmen and bandits in the place. It is easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. It is not necessarily anything.
That's when the truth came to light.
In my opinion, it is better to set up multiple inns on the main roads of each province. Every two hundred miles, set up an inn to accommodate people who go to Beijing for official business or to pay tribute."
The Song Dynasty's indifference to local areas made it difficult to control many places. Yang Lin had divided the world into thirteen provinces, and the territory was more than twice as large as before. Especially after Song Jiang captured the Western Regions, the current territory was even larger than that in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
It will be bigger then.
Now that we are determined to change it, we must strengthen the connection between Bianliang and the local area, and we can no longer allow all kinds of local abuses and bad habits to run rampant.
Hu Ce took out a piece of rag from his arms and said, "This cloth was cut from the clothes of a thief on the road. I would like to trouble Marquis Lu Yu to pass it on to the brothers in the Intelligence Department."
Lu Qian took it, put it under the sun and looked at it, and said: "This is ramie cloth from Lingnan. Only the humidity and heat there can produce this kind of cloth. But since you were attacked in Kaifeng Mansion, there is no way I could have rushed from Lingnan to Kaifeng to ambush you."
The truth.”
Yang Lin nodded and said: "All of them will be handed over to the Intelligence Department. You will also cooperate with their investigation. If one of them is found, he will be severely punished to serve as a warning to others and to stop this unhealthy trend. You guys will spread the news. These days
There's nothing urgent to do, so don't go out at night yet."
