Chapter 368: Attacked
"First of all, we have to analyze the motive of the crime. Well, to be more precise, it is the other party's goal."
Speaking of the content in the professional field, Xu Qian talked eloquently: "The person who claimed to be the chief envoy of Chuzhou, after he fled Chuzhou City, he has been secretly deploying people to try to expose this matter.
"After failing to deliver the information, he still didn't give up until your appearance made him feel that Fei Yan Nu was a reliable figure and a high-spirited heroine, so he sent someone to contact you."
Li Miaozhen spat: "Say what you say, what do you do to compliment me?"
Xu Qian shook his head with an extremely sincere expression: "I'm not complimenting you. Fei Yan Nu is the knight I admire most."
Li Miaozhen sneered.
Su Su next to her glanced at Xu Qi'an and thought to herself that this guy is very good at coaxing girls. Since his master came down the mountain to practice, what he is most proud of is his title of "Flying Swallow Girl".
Although she pretended to be disdainful, Su Su knew that Xu Qi'an's words had reached her master's heart.
Xu Qian continued: "She is an outsider. It is impossible for him to have any plot against you, but still ask you for help. Then, his motive is obvious, which is to spread the news about King Zhenbei's massacre of the city.
"He didn't reveal it to the barbarians, which means he didn't know that the barbarians were also coveting the essence and blood and were preventing King Zhenbei from being promoted. From this, it can be seen that he was a victim involved, not a chess player.
"In addition, this person has a strong desire to survive. The more cautious he is, the more he wants to live. Otherwise, he can achieve his goal by spreading the news regardless of it, but the price is that the spies of Zhenbei King will come to him and kill him."
Yes, a reasonable analysis... Li Miaozhen nodded while listening:
"So, he thought I could help deliver the message. He should have tried once, but the people who helped him deliver the message were all intercepted and killed in the outer suburbs of the capital. That is the body I found on the roadside. "
The details were right, which gave Li Miaozhen a sense of pleasure as if he could see the moon through clouds.
The chief envoy of Chuzhou fled from the disaster of massacre, and then lurked, secretly sending people in the world to deliver the news and spread the news back to the capital.
However, the Jianghu people were hunted down and died outside the capital, and they were accidentally bumped into by themselves.
Xu Qian, who tilted his head, touched his chin and said:
"It's understandable that Zheng Xinghuai doesn't dare to write official documents, because he will be intercepted. It's also understandable that he doesn't dare to spread it in Chuzhou. Chuzhou is the territory of the Zhenbei King, and it can easily lead to death.
"What I can't figure out is that the good man who died on the roadside is obviously coming to the capital soon... Logically speaking, since he can successfully escape to the capital's boundaries, it will not be difficult to enter the city. The forces in the capital It's complicated, unlike Chuzhou where there are spies and subordinates of King Zhenbei everywhere."
Li Miaozhen said: "It is also possible that they are waiting for the enemy and setting up an ambush near the capital in advance."
Xu Qian nodded. He was eager to rest and did not dwell on the topic. He stood up and walked to Li Miaozhen's bed, straightening up:
"I'll take a nap and call me after dark."
"You..." Li Miaozhen opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
What's going on with this guy? Is the woman's bed just for lying down on?
Forget it, the children of Jianghu did not stick to trivial matters and asked the waiter to change the bedding and sheets... She took a deep breath and comforted herself.
Sure enough, it is more comfortable to lie down. With my current physique, this little back pain should recover quickly... The backlash effect of Confucian magic is really scary... Well, what's the matter with this delicate fragrance? Li Miaozhen doesn't look like a woman who knows how to use rouge and gouache. Could it be the legendary girl's melon fragrance?
After the melon is broken, it can only be called body fragrance.
Xu Qian gathered his energy and let himself fall asleep quickly.
In the same corridor, in a room more than ten meters away, Zhao Jin spent the day in anxiety. After observing during this period and collecting intelligence, he believed that the Feiyan heroine who suddenly appeared was genuine. This could be verified by two points.
First, the barbarians in the north were plundering and arrogantly. Many knights from the rivers and lakes came one after another. Some of them had seen the Flying Swallow Heroine or heard of her signature flying sword.
Secondly, although the battle between heaven and man in the capital had just ended, it had been brewing for more than a month in advance. As for the true identity of the Feiyan heroine, the world had already reached a conclusion.
But he still couldn't hide his nervousness and anxiety. He told the big secret, but he never got an accurate response. The period of waiting was the most painful.
At this time, he saw the teacup on the table suddenly tipped over, which startled him.
Turning around to look, water traces were flowing, forming four words: Come to my room.
Zhao Jin looked surprised. He quickly stood up and walked to the door, then stopped and took
a deep breath to calm his frantic heartbeat and nervousness.
Try to appear as calm as possible.
Then, without restraining his steps or appearing impatient, he walked naturally to Li Miaozhen's room and gently opened the door.
The door opens automatically.
In a spacious and clean room, Feiyan Nuxia and her alluring maidservant sat at the table, candlelight dyeing their beautiful faces a warm orange color.
Zhao Jin had long been accustomed to the charm of the two stunning beauties. He automatically ignored them and cast his eyes on the bed behind the two women, where a man
was lying.
This... he is the companion that Feiyan Nuxia said? Being able to sleep on Feiyan Nuxia's bed seems to have a lot to do with it. Zhao Jin was startled, and then saw Li Miaozhen come to his senses and shout towards the bed:
"Get up, people are coming."
The man on the bed moved, as if he was awakened, then suddenly turned over and sat up,
looking at Zhao Jin.
"Deng, Deng, Deng..."
Zhao Jin stepped back in fright. The man tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at him
coldly.
Even if you look askance at people, you still tilt your head to look at them. This is so unruly.
"Are you Zhao Jin?" the crooked-necked man said.
"Yes, it's me..." At this time, Zhao Jin saw the man's face clearly through the candlelight. He was handsome and graceful, like a handsome young man in troubled times.
From this point of view, she is as handsome and talented as Feiyan Nu.
"I have a question to ask you." The crooked-necked man said solemnly.
Zhao Jin nodded.
The handsome young man with a crooked neck stared at him for a moment and asked, "How
do you judge or confirm that Zheng Xinghuai is telling the truth?"
Li Miaozhen was moved. Since Zhao Jin had never experienced the massacre, how could he judge the authenticity of what Zheng Xinghuai said? If you only listened to Zheng Xinghuai's words, then today's matter would have to be put on hold.
Zhao Jin whispered: "I have a sworn brother who works in the residence of Zheng Buzheng's envoy. He and a group of guests escorted Zheng Buzheng's envoy to escape from Chuzhou
City."
Dafeng divided the territory into thirteen continents, with states, counties, and counties under their jurisdiction. Chuzhou's original official name was "Chuzhou", but it was later
changed to Chuzhou.
The same goes for other continents.
As an official in charge of people's livelihood and government affairs in Yizhou, Chief Commissioner Zheng holds a high position of authority, and naturally has many experts in his
house.
If the person who massacred the city was not the King of Zhenbei, Xu Qian'an thought it was reasonable for him to escape from Chuzhou City by chance.
"That day, my sworn brother came to me and asked for help. When I learned about this, I just felt incredible. So I secretly went to Chuzhou City and found that it was as usual there, and there was no scene of massacre at all."
"Then how did you judge the authenticity of the massacre?" Li Miaozhen frowned.
"But then I found out that there was actually a governor Zheng in the city. How could there be two governors in the world? With doubts, I agreed to the request of my sworn brother, secretly protecting him while winning over trustworthy people in the world, trying to spread
the news.
"In this process, we found that the official roads and counties on the border of Chuzhou were blocked, the generals were checking everywhere, and the King of Zhenbei's spies were secretly searching. I realized that what the governor Zheng said was very likely to be true.
"About half a month ago, our first group of brothers quietly left Chuzhou and went to the
capital to file a complaint. But there was no news."
Zhao Jin sighed.
Xu Qi'an's eyes flashed.
No lie....So the original words of the remnant soul that day were: Bloodbath for three thousand miles, please send troops to attack the King of Zhenbei!
Xu Qi'an pondered: "What do you think about the current situation of Chuzhou City, or what
does the real Zheng Governor think?"
Zhao Jin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know, Lord Zheng is also confused. He saw Que Yongxiu lead his troops to massacre the city with his own eyes, but when we sneaked into Chuzhou City afterwards, we found that it had returned to its original state."
.... Damn it! The simple description made Xu Qi'an's scalp numb and a layer of chills grew on
his spine.
The delegation arrived at Chuzhou City as expected. If there was a problem there, Yang Yan should have been able to detect it with his cultivation... No, Yang Yan is just a crude warrior
and may not be able to see the clues. You know, even the princess of the Wan Yao Kingdom and the mysterious sorcerer gang are looking for the place where the King of Zhenbei slaughtered the living beings.
What means did the King of Zhenbei use to cover up all this?
I am still not knowledgeable enough. I have no clue. I will see Zheng Buzheng first. He is the
person involved... Xu Qiyan sat cross-legged on the bed, tilted his head, and said with a
squint:
"Where is the real Zheng Xinghuai."
When the matter came to an end, Zhao Jin was silent. He looked at Xu Qiyan and then at Li
Miaozhen, and hesitated.
Li Miaozhen frowned and said, "You don't believe me?"
Zhao Jin shook his head: "Of course I believe in Feiyan Xia."
As he said that, he glanced at Xu Qiyan. He knew nothing about this crooked man. Even if the
other party was Feiyan Xia's companion, he still had doubts in his heart.
This is human nature.
It is difficult to trust someone you are not familiar with without reservation, especially when
it comes to the safety of Zheng Buzhengshi.
Li Miaozhen glared at the man behind him with a bad temper, turned around and explained:
"You should have heard of him."
Zhao Jin was stunned, then re-examined Xu Qi'an, and asked tentatively: "Why did Miss
Feiyan say that?"
Su Su pinched her waist and said proudly: "Have you heard of Xu Qi'an, the Silver Luo of Dafeng?"
Xu Qi'an, the Silver Luo of Dafeng?!
This sentence sounded like thunder in Zhao Jin's ears, shocking his face and making him
dumbfounded.
After a few seconds, ecstasy surged in his heart, as if a ship drifting in the dark had found a lighthouse. It was like a lost traveler seeing the candlelight.
In Zhao Jin's heart, he was excited to finally find a big man to take charge.
Xu Qi'an, the Silver Gong of Dafeng, rose to prominence during the years of the imperial
court, repeatedly solved strange cases, and made great contributions to the court; he represented the Imperial Astronomical Bureau in a battle with the Buddhist sect, and defeated the Buddhist Arhat.
The legends about this person are no longer limited to the capital.
As for his deeds of defeating Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen in the battle between heaven and man, it has not yet been spread to the northern border, but this is enough.
Li Miaozhen continued, "You should know that the delegation arrived in the northern
border."
Zhao Jin reluctantly moved his eyes away from Xu Qi'an and nodded quickly, "We are here to
investigate the bloody massacre of three thousand miles."
Li Miaozhen smiled and pointed at Xu Qi'an, "He is the chief officer. In order to investigate
the case secretly, he left the delegation on the way and sneaked into the northern border
secretly."
So that's it... Zhao Jin no longer had any doubts, excitedly clasped his fists, and lowered his
voice: "Sir Xu, you are the person Zhao admires the most. You defeated the Buddhist sect and won
back face for the court, and you are talked about by people in the world. But I think that the most admirable thing about you is that you fought against tens of thousands of rebels alone in Yunzhou. Every time I think of it, Zhao's blood boils. A man should be like this."
This joke is not going to work, right?
Xu Qi'an almost covered his face, because Li Miaozhen, one of the parties involved, cast a
contemptuous look at him, which made Xu Qi'an feel ashamed.
This guy always likes to brag. He can't change his bad habits. He also makes me embarrassed.
I dare not disclose his identity within the Tiandihui... Li Miaozhen glared at him and snorted
in her heart.
"Ahem!"
He coughed and said lightly: "A good man does not talk about his past achievements. Let's go
to see Zheng Buzhengshi immediately. Miaozhen, use your flying sword to take us away and take a few more detours."
Li Miaozhen frowned: "Do you think I am being monitored? But my little ghost did not give any feedback." Xu Qian'an snorted: "That only shows that the other party's lurking level is very high. Justn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
imagine that since the spies of the King of Zhenbei have intercepted the people who delivered the message, they will certainly have a certain control over the thoughts of Zheng Buzhengshi.
"And you happened to appear at this time, the spies of the King of Zhenbei will not ignore
you. They are very likely to deliberately ignore you and secretly lure out Zheng Buzhengshi. "Fortunately, Brother Zhao was cautious and lurked around you early, instead of coming to you suddenly. But even so, I'm afraid that including Brother Zhao, all the people under your
command are under investigation. Perhaps in a few days, the secret agents of the King of Zhenbei will come to you."
Li Miaozhen frowned and thought for a moment, as if she had realized something, and
nodded slowly: "No wonder the government initially planned to kill me after I intercepted the profiteers who
raised the grain prices that day, but later changed their minds and talked to me secretly,
hoping that I would restrain myself."
Immediately, she put Su Su into the sachet, and with a thought, the flying sword leaning against the table "came to life" and circled in the room.
Li Miaozhen waved her hand, and with a "clang", the window opened and the flying sword
rushed out.
"Let's go!"
She jumped out of the window first, followed by Xu Qi'an and Zhao Jin. The three of them
stepped on the sword ridge at the same time, Li Miaozhen in front, Xu Qi'an in the middle, and Zhao Jin in the back.
The flying sword dragged the three people and soared into the sky.
At this moment, the corresponding picture appeared in Xu Qi'an's mind. Below, an arrow with
a strong aura shot out.
This arrow contained a momentum that would not stop until it penetrated the enemy.
"To the left!"
Xu Qi'an shouted.
Li Miaozhen did not think about it and manipulated the flying sword to drift to the left. The
next moment, a stream of light shot out and penetrated the position of the three people just
now.
After the arrow missed, it turned and locked onto the three people again, whistling through
the air.
"It's a fourth-grade warrior." Li Miaozhen said in a deep voice. "Quick, quick, fly higher, don't let the fourth-grade warrior get close to you." Xu Qi'an's scalp
tingled.
