Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 53 Tianshan Snow Lotus
Jiang Shijia looked at Tang Fangzhi and Mrs. Jingyu to confirm that they understood the seriousness of the matter, then picked up the single knife again, and said in a deep voice: "Considering that the style of the knife used by the thieves is similar to the military standard knife , we should also check the troops stationed in Bashu. If these men in black are dressed as soldiers, they are also well-organized, and it is easier to pass inspections from all walks of life, especially the defenders stationed in eastern and southern Sichuan. , In order to adapt to mountain combat, they also underwent training similar to Qiang Dao.

However, this matter must also be cautious. I have to ask the governor first (the governor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is responsible for the military affairs of the region, but it only manages military affairs, but does not have the right to lead troops to fight, let alone intervene in local government affairs) for instructions, and then Obtain the cooperation of the generals..."

Tang Fangzhi nodded and said, "I agree with your opinion, Mr. Jiang, and I have another suggestion. When sending people to Rongzhou and the army to investigate quietly, they should pay special attention to whether there are any martial arts people who have suffered internal injuries or practiced internal strength or become obsessed. After all, according to the steward of the Jincheng Escort Bureau, Shu embroidery, Sichuan embroidery, Sichuan wine, and bacon are relatively common goods among the intercepted darts, and other escort agencies also often transport them. Why did this gang of thieves take great risks to intercept them? Jincheng's dart?

Although these thieves threw the goods of the bodyguard team all over the mountains and valleys, after our careful search and registration, we found that one of the most precious goods was missing from the goods scattered there, which was also the reason why Xue Hai sent the bodyguard this time. The main reason - a Tianshan snow lotus.The elixir prepared with Tianshan Snow Lotus can repair internal injuries, reconcile internal energy, and lead to a great improvement in internal strength. It is a rare treasure that martial arts people dream of, and it is completely worth some people risking their lives to snatch it. "

"According to the logic, Chief Xue should know the preciousness of the Tianshan snow lotus, so it is impossible not to keep it a secret, so how could it leak out?" Jingyu asked very puzzled.

"That's right. When the Jincheng Bodyguard Bureau was transporting the darts out of the city, the Military Patrol Division didn't hear any news about Tianshan Snow Lotus. How did this group of thieves know?" Jiang Shijia walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, thinking Side said: "Furthermore, according to Steward Xue's account, the person who came to throw this dart was a masked woman. She didn't say anything about her identity, but she just told Xue Hai that she was entrusted by Master Yang of the Huashan School. It took a lot of hard work to get this snow lotus, and I asked Xue Hai to send it to Mount Hua, and even paid a lot of money... We still haven't found the whereabouts of this masked woman."

Jingyu Shitai sighed softly: "The head of escort Xue should know the risks of escorting the snow lotus in Tianshan Mountain, so he shouldn't have picked up this escort."

"Xue Hai." Tang Fangzhi snorted: "He is a businessman with a greed for profit. He must have thought that he could use this to build a relationship with the Huashan faction, but he didn't expect to die because of it."

Jiang Shijia stopped, cheering for the two of them and himself: "Since we have checked that the heads of the major sects in Bashu and other martial arts masters have not suffered internal injuries or made mistakes in their practice recently, and we have not found any recent injuries. If there is any abnormal behavior, then we will turn our investigation target to the army and the area where the Qiang people live, maybe we will find something.”

"Master Jiang, can I say a few words?" Zhao Chen who had been recording quietly asked suddenly.

"Of course, I'm waiting for you to give me another surprise." Jiang Shijia said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Zhao Chen said frankly: "Before I express my opinion, I have a question. I remember that after the massacre, several adults also suspected that the robbers came from the north, so they sent Song Youcheng, Guo Youxin, and Yang Xiuling to investigate. , has the suspicion of the north side been lifted now?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Jiang Shijia said seriously: "The investigation has already had results, so it's okay to tell you now. According to what Song Youcheng and the others reported when they came back, more than half a year ago, Zhenren Yang of the Huashan School and Hua Zhang from the Kunlun School of the Western Regions Men Yiwu Huiyou did suffer a little internal injury, but it was not serious, and he recovered after three months, and he did not ask anyone to search for Tianshan snow lotus."

"Are you sure the news is true?"

"This is what we entrusted Commander Li, the inspector general of Chang'an Prefecture, to go to Mount Hua to ask Master Yang for advice. Senior Yang is highly respected, so how can there be any truth to what he said!" Tang Fangzhi's tone was reproachful.

The Huashan School is the largest school in Northwest Wulin, and its leader Yang Tongping is one of the top masters in the entire Great Zhou Wulin. , He has helped countless people in the world for decades, and won the respect of many martial arts people. Therefore, Zhao Chen's heart tightened when he heard this, and he quickly bowed and saluted: "This junior knows his mistake."

"Those who don't know are not guilty." Jiang Shijia bowed and said: "Since Master Yang didn't find someone to search for Tianshan snow lotus, then no one in the northwest would know in advance that there will be Tianshan snow lotus in Bashu, and wait for the Jincheng bodyguard bureau to receive the bodyguard. Afterwards, if someone in the northwest really wants to rob the darts, I am afraid they will have to wait until the dart team has passed Hanzhong before they can take action, otherwise there will be too little time."

Jiang Shijia paused, and said firmly: "Song Youcheng's trip to the northwest made us more sure that this gang of bandits is hiding in Bashu!"

"Then is it possible... that Iron Blood Changhemen did it?" Zhao Chen said softly.

Jiang Shijia narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you say that?"

"My lord, since the iron-blooded Changhe Gate was disbanded by the imperial court 30 years ago, some people have settled down in Dazhou, and some people have heard that they have gone to the Western Regions. In the past few decades, there has been almost no news of their activities in the territory. , but now the 'Caiyi Shenjian' appeared in Bashu and took the initiative to provoke my military inspector, and then three people from the iron-blooded Changhemen contacted Geng Po and made them disappear... When the old iron-blooded Changhemen appeared in Bashu It is so close to the time when the Wenquanyi massacre happened, I suspect that this may not be a coincidence. We know nothing about the activities of the Jagged Changhe Gate in the Western Regions. Maybe this group of well-organized and martial arts robbers were trained by them... "

There was a moment of silence in the lobby.

Tang Fangzhi shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Iron-Blooded Changhemen risked angering the imperial court and spent huge manpower and material resources just to kill Jincheng's bodyguards and win a Tianshan snow lotus. Isn't that too high a price? What's more, it is easier for them to obtain Tianshan snow lotus in the Western Regions."

"Based on the previous style of the Jagged Changhe Gate, they couldn't have committed such a bloody killing." Shitai Jingyu also said with a frown.

Seeing that the two martial arts elders disagreed, Zhao Chen became obedient and silent.

Jiang Shijia smiled gently, and said noncommittally: "Your suggestion has given us some hints. It's getting late and the New Year is coming. Go and celebrate the New Year with Guo Youxin and the others."

"Thank you, sir." Zhao Chen stepped back respectfully.

Watching Zhao Chen go away, Jiang Shijia's expression turned solemn in an instant. He turned around, looked around at the three of them, and said in a deep voice, "Now let's talk about the issue of the Jagged Changhemen. What are they planning to do in Bashu all of a sudden? ?”

"If it's Tang Fangzhuo alone, you don't have to worry too much. He has an extreme personality, and he can openly provoke the military inspector when he gets hot." Tang Fangzhi talked about his cousin like a stranger. Generally, there are no mood swings: "But the three people who met Geng Po must attract our attention!"

"That's right." Huiming also looked dignified: "The old coachman mentioned by Nephew Xue can make Geng Po kneel down and salute. Among the few important leaders who are rumored to have survived the Jagged Changhemen, I think the most qualified should be yes--"
