Da Bong fights more people

It is also good to take the mountain road. The scenery along the way is not bad, with green mountains, green waters, and long white clouds.

Occasionally, you can see the green pine on the proud cliff, which is as graceful as a cover.You can also see wild flowers blooming on the roadside, simple and tough.

Xu Qi'an is a person who loves fragrance and loves jade, he walks slowly, and occasionally stops, picks a place with beautiful scenery, and rests leisurely for half an hour.

Talking to her about my fish farming experience often drew a sneer of disdain from the princess.

Half a day later, the mission entered the northern border and arrived in a city called Wanzhou.

Wanzhou is a small state, smaller than the county Dabi County. The land in Wanzhou is fertile and suitable for farming. It is one of the granaries of Chuzhou.

The architectural style of this place is not much different from the capital city in the Central Plains, but the scale is not the same, and because there is no wharf nearby, the prosperity is limited.

After Yang Yan presented the imperial documents, the highest general at the city gate, the centurion, personally led them to the post station.

The mission had just rested at the post station, Yang Yan took a hot bath, and was about to sit down and drink tea when the governor of Wanzhou came.

Mr. Zhizhou's surname is Niu, but his physique does not match the word "Niu". He is tall and thin, with a goatee beard, wearing a green robe embroidered with egrets, and has two government officials behind him.

"The lower officials don't know how many adults are here, and some are far away to welcome them, and some are far away to welcome them"

Niu Zhizhou's attitude was extremely humble, and after seeing the prime minister of Dali Temple, the two censors, and Yang Yan, he asked, "Dare to ask, why are you here?"

Yang Yan was not good at officialdom, so he didn't answer.

The prime minister of Dali Temple took out the document that he had prepared long ago, handed it over with a smile on his face, and began to call Zhizhou brother and brother in a few words.

After Niu Zhizhou had finished exchanging greetings with the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, he unfolded the handwriting and read it carefully.

After reading the document, Niu Zhizhou had an extremely weird expression, and even felt that it was ridiculous. He scanned the crowd and asked tentatively, "Dare to ask, who is Xu Yinluo?"

The Prime Minister of Dali Temple sighed and said sadly: "The mission was ambushed by the enemy on the way. Xu Yinluo was seriously injured in order to protect everyone. We have sent people back to the capital."

Niu Zhizhou turned pale with shock: "What happened? Where are the thieves who dare to ambush the imperial missions? They are simply lawless."

The censor surnamed Liu waved his hand and said, "It's okay not to mention this matter, Mr. Niu, I'm here to investigate the case, and I just have something to ask."

Niu Zhizhou hastily bowed: "My lord, may I ask?"

Liu Yushi said in a deep voice, "How is the battle in Chuzhou?"

Hearing this, Niu Zhizhou sighed and said, "Last year, there was heavy snowfall in the north, and countless livestock froze to death. Since the spring of this year, they have often invaded the border, burning, killing and looting along the way.

"Fortunately, the king of Zhenbei has many soldiers and generals, and not a single city was lost. The barbarians did not dare to go deep into Chuzhou, and they only pitied the people near the border."

Not all the people lived in the city, those who were plundered by the barbarians were the people in the villages and towns.

Everyone in the mission looked at each other, and Chen Butou of the Ministry of Punishment frowned and said, "Where did the bloody massacre happen for three thousand miles?"

Niu Zhizhou spread his hands with a wry smile, and said, "This is simply a fantasy. You should know that Chuzhou is only [-] miles away. If there is a massacre of [-] miles, then the officials can still stand here and fight with each other." adults talk?"

Liu Yushi sneered: "Everyone is a scholar, so Niu Zhizhou shouldn't play such clever tricks."

"Three Thousand Miles of Blood Slaughter" is an allusion. It originated from the Warring States period in ancient times. There was a bloodthirsty general who led the army to slaughter three thousand miles when he destroyed the enemy's country.

Later generations cited it as an allusion to describe large-scale killings and cruelty.

Although the barbarians harassed the people on the border, burned, killed and looted, but King Zhenbei reported back to the Tang newspaper in the north, only saying that the barbarians harassed the border, but he had led his troops to repel them, and the news continued.

If the barbarians really committed the atrocities of "blood massacre for three thousand miles", it would be a serious dereliction of duty by King Zhenbei who lied about the military situation.

Chapter 126 Inquiry Mission

"I really don't know, Wanzhou is still a few days away from the north. If you don't believe me, you might as well go further north. Seeing is believing."

Niu Zhizhou defended repeatedly, but he almost swore to the sky.

Niu Zhizhou is a small person, and there is a high probability that he doesn't know about it, so everyone didn't embarrass him.

After Liu Yushi asked a few more questions about the northern border, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple smiled and got up to see him off.

Watching Niu Zhizhou get into the carriage and leave with the officials, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple returned to the station, turned away the postmen, and looked around at the crowd: "Shall we go north now, or should we stay at the station for a few more days?"

Chen Butou of the Ministry of Punishment said in a low voice: "If you stay at the station, the people of Duke Huai will definitely find them. At that time, we can only go north with them."

"Isn't this just right?" Another censor surnamed Zhou said with a smile, "We are in the light, and Xu Yinluo is in the dark. It is our task to attract Duke Huai's attention."

The Prime Minister of Dali Temple sighed with emotion: "I don't know the condition of the princess, whether she is alive or dead."

Hearing this, Catcher Chen and the two censors sneered, the life and death of the princess and Chu Xianglong had nothing to do with them.

That kind of insidious and cunning despicable villain should be dead.

Yang Yan told them that after Xu Qi'an defeated the northern masters, he went on the road alone and secretly went to the northern border to investigate the case.

The plan won the unanimous approval of all, and promised to keep it secret.The officials of the third department cooperated so much because they had just received Xu Qi'an's life-saving grace, and their attitude towards him changed from hostility to closeness.

Secondly, Xu Qi'an secretly investigated the case, which meant that the mission could be passive and slow down, and it would not attract the King of Zhenbei's backlash just because of any evidence they found.

Kill two birds with one stone.

There is one more thing Yang Yan did not tell them, that is the whereabouts of the princess. According to Yang Yan's speculation, the princess is very likely to be rescued by Xu Qi'an.

This was the conclusion he came to after groping in the direction Xu Qi'an left, all the way to the battle scene, and found the unconscious maidservant.

Except for the spider silk and the maidservants left behind in the dense forest, there is nothing left.

Yang Yan woke up the maidservants to inquire about the situation, and learned from them that Xu Qi'an had chased him, and then there might be a big battle, and why it was possible, because the maidservants didn't know either.

They quickly passed out.

Yang Yan deduced two possibilities: Either Xu Qi'an robbed the princess halfway and started chasing and fleeing with the northern masters; or Xu Qi'an defeated the northern masters and successfully rescued the princess.

He was more inclined to the former guess, because there was no trace of a fight at the scene, it is very likely that Xu Qi'an used the spells recorded in the Confucian books to successfully rescue the princess.

"The four masters in the north went deep into the Dafeng realm, and they didn't dare to be too blatant. This gave Xu Qi'an many opportunities. He has Confucian scrolls to protect his body, and he has a small amount of Vajra magic. It's not that he has no ability to protect himself. Moreover, he can borrow This machine will sharpen him, let him touch the threshold of energy transformation earlier, and be promoted to the fifth rank."

Yang Yan thought so at the time.

This will be very dangerous, but the Wufu system is a process of breaking through and sharpening oneself.Yang Yan himself participated in the Mountain and Sea Battle back then, and he was still very young at that time.

He still dared to fight on the battlefield with a knife in his hand, narrowly escaped death, and sharpened his martial arts.

Of course Xu Qi'an can do it, if he can't, then he can't blame anyone if he dies.

In addition, he secretly arranged ten forbidden soldiers to escort the maidservant southward and return to the capital.
