"Mmmmm! Mmmm!"

The thin man in coarse linen who was tied up in the cave kept writhing and struggling on the ground, uttering some meaningless syllables.I didn't understand what he said, but I knew what he wanted to say by looking at his angry and unwilling eyes.

Just as I was about to leave after the questioning, I felt someone walking towards the cave, presumably it was someone on patrol, or someone who came to receive letters.No matter who it is, his value must be much higher than the bandits in the cave, so let the bandits introduce him, catch him, and want to ask for something valuable.

Touching my chin, I grinned, the opportunity to try the medicine delivered to my door came, and I felt sorry for myself if I didn’t use the medicine.

From the corner of the eye, Wei San and the others took a step back silently, and looked over with a half-smile, and saw the hidden guard next to Wei San shudder, "You, come here." Look left and right, it's you.

"Don't look at other people, it's you, come here."

The hidden guard who was pointed out drooped his head in frustration, walked up to him, and asked honestly, "Master, what are your orders?"

"Go and hold this person down." Judging from the effect of the medicine Wei Er said, this person should make a lot of moves, and someone needs to hold him down.

"Yes."

The hidden guard walked around behind the man, and decisively stretched out his hands to hold his head and hands, and pressed his legs with his legs.The man struggled even harder, oh, although it was useless.

Wei San seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, "Master, according to my subordinates, it's better for two hidden guards to restrain him."

Looking at the people writhing desperately on the ground, I thought about it, "Okay, you can come too."

"......Yes."

Well, ready to go.

Looking at the person who was pinned down and unable to move, I took out the small medicine bottle in my arms.

"You should feel honored to be able to test the medicine for you." He said as he poured out a small pill in the bottle. Wei Er really likes red. It doesn't matter if the bottle is red, even the pills are red. Wei Dang for a long time, mentally distorted?Shaking his head secretly.

Glancing at the man on the ground, he saw a trace of panic flashing in his eyes, but he still managed to remain calm.

very good!It is interesting to have such a person come to test the medicine!

"Come on, I'll feed you personally, open your mouth." Pulling out the cloth strip stuffed in his mouth, I tried to stuff the pill into his mouth. , but the man closed his lips tightly, no matter how stuffed he couldn't get it in.

"Break his mouth off!" Hmph, struggling needlessly.

When the pill entered the man's mouth, it melted in the mouth.

"Ah!!!" The man's expression became painful, his face began to twitch, and the veins on his hands popped out.If it wasn't for the hidden guards holding him down, I guess he would still want to roll over on the ground to express his pain.

He raised his hand and tapped his acupuncture points, making him temporarily unable to feel pain.

"You can answer whatever the master asks you, otherwise, when the master releases the acupoints for you, you will be in more pain than before." That's right, Wei Er's medicine really causes pain to the point where blood vessels burst and die.And this medicine has a special abnormality, that is, it is absolutely impossible to stop the pain through external force or medicine in the middle, because when the acupuncture point is unlocked, the pain will be more than ten times stronger than before after the effect of the medicine wears off, and it is Every time it hurts more and more.

"You...you...you kill me." The man was dripping with sweat, the clothes on his body were already soaked in sweat, and his voice was much weaker.

"It seems that you didn't understand the words of the master. As long as you answer, the master will let you go." Let you die quickly.

The man closed his eyes, panting heavily.

"Hmph, you don't have to drink a toast, you have to drink fine wine." Resolutely released his acupoints, but tapped his dumb acupoints.I don't want to make too much noise and attract more people.

The man's eyes widened suddenly, as if his eyes were about to fall out, his whole body twitched, his face flushed, the veins on his forehead bulged, his mouth opened wide but he couldn't make a sound.

Wei San and the others held him down hard so that he couldn't break free.

Tsk tsk tsk, Wei Er's medicine is really overbearing.Guessing that he couldn't bear it any longer, I clicked his acupuncture points again to relieve his pain.

"How? Are you willing to answer Grandpa's question? If not, let's continue. But Grandpa kindly reminds you, when Grandpa undoes your acupuncture point again, you will be in more pain than before." Look at this frightened and tired man Little eyes, can't bear it.

Sure enough, he nodded his head with difficulty, and it was done.

Unlocking his dumb acupoint, I asked, "Who are you and who do you work for?"

"I... I'm just a nobody who came here after receiving orders from above."

It's really tough, it's so painful that you can still speak so vaguely.

Squinting his eyes slightly, "Wei San, relieve the acupoint."

"Yes."

The man shrank back in embarrassment, "I've already said it! Why do you still treat me like this!"

He raised his jaw and looked at the man indifferently, "If what you want to say is these vague things and waste my time, I might as well let you die of pain." I have been in this cave for almost half an hour, if I stay any longer, Fear of accidents.

Waving his hand, Wei San moved quickly.Seeing that the acupuncture point was untied, the man immediately tightened his body and screamed: "No, no, no! I can say anything!" Wei San tapped the acupuncture point again.

I stepped forward to lift his chin with my toes, and looked down at him, "This is your last chance."

"I...I can say anything."

Withdrawing his toes, he let the hidden guard come forward to wipe his shoes with a handkerchief, "Say."

Maybe he was really frightened, the man swallowed his saliva, and said: "I am a guard of Princess Jinyu's guard team. The chief guard arranged for me to be responsible for patrolling the bandits in this cave. I am afraid that they will be dishonest. By the way, I am responsible for collecting Letters they got."

"Princess Jinyu is in Daqin?"

"Yes, we all came to Daqin with the princess four months ago."

There was a gleam of coldness in the eyes, Princess Jinyu, it was really her, it was really unexpected.

"What is the purpose of your coming to Daqin? Why are you in Lianyun Mountain? Did you do the bandit case that happened in Jiangzhou?"

The man's eyes flickered, "His Royal Highness did not tell us the purpose of coming to Daqin, we are only responsible for carrying out the tasks arranged by the above. We entered Daqin from Lianyun Mountain at the beginning, and the terrain here is concealed enough for us to hide .We are involved in the bandit case, but..."

"But what, say it!"

"But the bandits are mainly the garrison of Jiangzhou, and we are just cooperating with them."

Turning around, facing the entrance of the cave and closing his eyes, he took a deep breath, and after a moment of calm, he ordered: "Wei San, send him on his way." Although this man still has something to hide, I know that it is no longer possible. Ask for more information from him.

"Yes."

"You...uh!"

He glanced sideways at the remaining four bandits who had been tapped at the Ya point and bound their hands and feet. Seeing their frightened expressions, they kept leaning against the cave wall behind them.

"Untie their belts. Don't leave one alone." With big strides out of the cave, Wei San and the others followed after a while.

"master."

"Make this cave look like you're killing each other. Keep going."

"Yes."

We followed the footsteps of the man when he came to the deep mountain. Wei San spread around with hidden guards, carefully protecting me as I walked forward.

The information I got was constantly integrated in my head. Although the man didn't say much, it was considered a major breakthrough.

Legend has it that the gentle and virtuous Princess Jinyu is actually such a scheming and ambitious woman.

There is no checkpoint in Lianyun Mountain, which is really a big hidden danger. These people from the Mu country have entered our Daqin territory through Lianyun Mountain openly, and they must write a letter to the emperor when they go back.

The Jiangzhou Taiwei can now be sure that he was killed by the Jiangzhou prefect and the garrison inside and outside.

But why did the prefect of Jiangzhou collude with the people of Muguo? Most of the garrison troops in Jiangzhou were recruited from Jiangzhou. Why did they follow the orders of the prefect of Jiangzhou and do such harm to the people?

"master."

The dark guard stopped and looked around warily.

Um?Some people, and many more.With so many people, did they raise an army here?

"Wei San, go and have a look."

"Yes."

After a while, Wei San came back, "Master, there are a large number of Jiangzhou garrison training in the valley ahead."

Garrison?train?No, the garrison didn't go to the martial arts field for training, what did they come to this remote valley for?There are oddities.

He quietly moved to the side of the valley slope, found a hidden location, prostrated himself on the ground, poked his eyes out cautiously, and looked at the situation of the valley below.

The valley is tightly guarded, and there are patrol teams intersecting it. It seems that there is no way to sneak into the valley for the time being.

The soldiers were training, probably because they were afraid of causing trouble by making loud noises. These soldiers did not shout loudly during training, and the commander did not call out passwords. The soldiers only made corresponding actions according to the hand flags changed by the command.

If training in this valley was normal training, would they still be afraid of being discovered by making noise?Hmph, guilty conscience.

I took a general note of the situation in the valley, and I was particularly concerned about the cave in the opposite valley. Around the cave, there was a sentry post at five steps, and a post at ten steps. There was no light in the cave.

Keeping these in mind, I was about to evacuate, when I turned around, a change of movement by the soldiers made my turning movement stop suddenly.

In addition to some basic movements, what the soldiers of Daqin need to train is to practice formation.Among them, the basic movements are divided into two camps, one is the stabbing, chopping, cutting, and blocking of soldiers with swords, and the other is thrusting, picking, and blocking of soldiers with guns. When the two camps are training together, the commander will do Out of four commands, the fourth command with the sword is to block, while the gun is closed when the command makes the fourth command.

These soldiers in the valley are trained with swords and guns, but... I narrowed my eyes and carefully watched the movements of the soldiers after the fourth command.At the same time, the soldiers with swords and the soldiers with guns were collected at the same time!

Crouching on the slope, the brain was running rapidly.Is it intentionally synchronized?

No, that's not right. The soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty all used the same method of training. Unless it was different from the beginning, soldiers with swords would not move so naturally when they drew their swords.Something flashed through my mind, but I couldn't catch it.

Keeping these situations in mind, he quietly turned and left without hesitation.

I have to contact Liao Xiyuan and the others as soon as possible to integrate all the information so far.

I feel that most of the mystery of Jiangzhou bandits can be solved.

It was already sunset and dusk when I returned to the small broken house, so I went back to the house and washed it briefly.After running around for a long time, I can't bear to talk about things while sweating all over my body.

Sitting in the simple main hall and waiting for a cup of tea, a few sneaky figures flashed into the courtyard door, and the last person who entered the door inspected with his head, closed the courtyard door, and followed the people in front to the living room.

The masked man in black who walked in the front stepped into the living room, stood in front of me, pulled off his scarf, and said respectfully, "Third Master."

This person is Han Yuqin who asked Wei San and the others to meet him.

After Han Yuqin entered the main hall, Wei San and other hidden guards closed the main hall door and stood guard outside the door.

"Brother Han, please sit down." He pointed to the seat on the other side of the small wooden table.

Seeing Han Yuqin sitting down, I asked, "Brother Han, have you found anything?"

Han Yuqin made a serious face and said, "It is true that we have discovered something."

"Oh? I found out so soon. I thought the Jiangzhou prefect must have been closely monitoring you. Even if something was discovered, it shouldn't be so soon." It's only been a day since I entered Jiangzhou City.

"This discovery was at the banquet during the day today. The people who were invited to accompany me today were all famous and respected people in Jiangzhou. Among them was a veiled woman who was called the lady of the prefect's family. The prefect called her Yu girl."

Jade girl?Jade?

"The strange thing is, when I went back to the post station, I accidentally saw that the magistrate was very respectful to her, too respectful, as if she was the master." Han Yuqin frowned, his eyes full of doubts.

Squinting his eyes slightly, he tapped the table with his right index finger, "Brother Han, today I discovered that the Jiangzhou garrison is secretly training in the depths of Lianyun Mountain."

"What?!" Han Yuqin looked at me in surprise, "The magistrate also told me today that for today's banquet, all the garrison troops were mobilized and today's training was cancelled!"

The corners of his lips curled up coldly, "The garrison in the mountains is divided into two parts, swords and spears, but they are trained together, and the basic training movements are all three commands and then stop at the same time."

After hearing what I said, Han Yuqin immediately changed his expression: "Third Lord, are you sure you stopped after three movements at the same time?"

"Because I thought it was strange at the time, I observed it specially. They indeed closed their hands at the same time after three movements, and the movements were very natural."

As soon as the words fell, Han Yuqin stood up suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he controlled his trembling voice and said, "Third Master, these are not soldiers from our Great Qin, but soldiers from the Mu Kingdom!! Only the Mu Kingdom can synchronize swords and spears!! "

Unsurprisingly.

"Princess Jinyu's guards were also arrested in the mountains. According to him, Princess Jinyu and her guards entered Daqin through Lianyun Mountain four months ago."

Han Yuqin was dumbfounded, "This...this..."

Thinking of the clairvoyant three years ago, he narrowed his eyes slightly, "The prefect of Jiangzhou is very likely to have colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country long ago. I suspect that the Jade girl you mentioned is Princess Jinyu."

Han Yuqin was too shocked to speak, took a sip of tea, and glanced at him, "Calm down, after all, we made speculations before coming here, and the current situation is almost the same as the speculation, so there is nothing to worry about." Walking according to the script.

"This... How can we not worry about this!" Han Yuqin cried, "Now that means, Jiangzhou City is already under their control."

She glanced at him indifferently, "Everyone is under their control."

If they were under their control, it would be impossible for us to investigate so much information, and it would be impossible for us to pick up Han Ruoqin in the middle of the night, who was supposed to be living in the post under their strict surveillance.

It is precisely because they think they are under their control that they are so arrogant and arrogant. This is the best thing for us.Pulled out a smile.

"Brother Han, after you go back, find a way to get the magistrate to allow you and Liao Xiyuan to inspect the garrison, and then tell me the day of the inspection. I have already sent someone to guard Lianyun Mountain. When the time comes, we will know clearly , Are the soldiers of the Mu Kingdom outside the establishment or within the establishment."

"Yes, third master, don't worry. Weizhen and I will pay more attention to the magistrate of Jiangzhou and girl Yu." Han Yuqin's face was solemn and dignified.

"Well. Every afternoon, Wei San and the others will take turns at the table on the second floor of the Chayun Building on East Street, facing the Pingtan stage. If there is any news, please pass it on in time, but pay attention to concealment." This is when Wei San came. According to him, the information exchange place he found by chance is that the secret guard has been working for a long time, and inertia dictates it, ahem.

After sending Han Yuqin away, just as he was about to go back to his room to rest, the secret guard presented a letter, "Master, a letter from Kyoto."

I took it casually, opened it, and read it carefully. It was written that Luo Jinhan had been frequently walking around the minister's residence in Beijing recently. It seemed that he wanted to come to Jiangzhou to investigate with me, so he wanted the minister to speak for him when he was in court. Unfortunately, Yeah, the effect is...very small.

Disdain to snort, the little tricks that can't get on the stage are indeed the methods used by people who can't get on the stage.

Investigate with me?To put it nicely, it should be because I was afraid of being caught by the tail and wanted to stop my investigation, hmph.

"Study ink."

"Yes."

The first letter, write down today's discovery and your own guesses, this is for Brother Huang.

The second letter was to Mu Ji, the commander of the imperial guards in the capital.

Mu Ji can be regarded as the first person I made up my mind to make friends with after my rebirth.At the beginning, as the youngest grandson of the old Prime Minister Mu, my mother thought about it and wanted to call him into the palace to accompany me. Of course, after finding out that he was too lively and had no literary potential at all, she gave up. On the face of it, we are still a little friendly.During the time after the rebirth in the palace woke up, I kept running to the Imperial Guard, just to deepen this friendship with him, and I did.

In my previous life, when I was poured ten days powder, I heard from Luo Jinhan that the commander of the imperial guards was assassinated by him, and if he replaced him, no one would be able to save the emperor.So after waking up, my first goal was Mu Ji, the commander of the imperial guards.I want to keep him, for Brother Huang.

Mu Ji is the second son of the prime minister Mu Yuanqing. Although he doesn't like literature, he is not stupid because of the influence of his father and brother. I write to him and tell him the situation, and he will know what to do.

Pack the letter and hand it to the dark guard.

"Send it quickly to Kyoto."

"Yes!"
