"Have you heard that the prairie people raided the west wall of our Great Yin Black Stone City a few days ago, and the defenders didn't stop them, so their cavalry rushed in!"

In Shouyan County, a middle-aged man with a yellow complexion and wearing a coarse cloth jacket tightly hugged a package, and looked at Shen Hui who happened to come out of the county government office with a face full of panic: "The county... .Your Majesty..."

The person who was stopped by him to speak just now was a local from Shouyan County. When he saw that it was Shen Hui, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Excellency of the county." The local took two steps to the side to distance himself from the yellow-faced man.

Shen Hui nodded, and looked straight at the yellow-faced man: "You are not from Shouyan County, where did you come from, and where are the directions?"

Behind him is Qiao Zhixin, who is neatly dressed and looks like a human being. Qiao Zhixin is a tall and burly man. Now that his life is getting richer, he is even more recognizable. He is wearing a policeman's uniform. He just stands there. It seemed to be full of deterrence.

The yellow-faced man stammered, his eyes rolled wildly, but he couldn't find a way out, and his face became paler.

Qiao Zhixin took two steps forward, and held down the panicked yellow-faced man with one hand: "Spread rumors, scare people, come with me to the prison!"

"I'm wronged, Xiaomin also heard from others that the west wall of Heishi City was broken..." The yellow-faced man wanted to struggle, but Qiao Zhixin locked his hands behind his back, and the package he was holding in his arms fell off. out.

The six sons walked over quickly, picked up the package, and weighed it in their hands: "It weighs seven catties."

He opened the package and searched, and saw that it was a white government-made silver ingot wrapped in white clothes. The six sons felt their eyes flashed, raised their hands and rubbed it, and sent the package of silver to Shen Hui: "Look, my lord." , this amount is quite a lot!"

Shen Hui only glanced at it, then ordered the six sons to temporarily deposit the silver as stolen goods, and then turned to the yellow-faced man: "You are not a local, and you can't find a way out, and you don't even bring all your clothes when you go out, but With the official bank that was newly made this year."

The yellow-faced man smiled flatteringly: "My lord, Xiaomin's guide is lost, this silver, the silver is... yes..."

"This standard official bank has always been used only to distribute the salaries of officials and clans." Shen Hui interrupted him, "Your purpose is too obvious, I guess, someone gave you a multiple of this package of official bank Price, buy you to come to Shouyan County, let me know about the attack on Black Rock City, if I torture you, you will confess a certain prince."

The sallow complexion of the yellow-faced man turned pale in an instant, beads of sweat rolled off his forehead one by one, he lowered his head and stared at the ground for a long time before faltering: "My lord, it is true that Xiaomin took other people's money. He came to the gate of the county government office to say these things, but, but that person didn't say anything about the prince, Xiaomin is just an ordinary person, how dare he meddle in the nobleman's affairs!"

Shen Hui shook his head slowly: "Even if the matter does not involve the emperor's heir, spreading rumors that the prairie people breached the city wall at such a time - your life should not be kept anymore."

The yellow-faced man shut his mouth tightly when he heard the words, and Shen Hui knew from looking at his demeanor that he was already prepared to die, and the person behind him bought his life just to plot against him.

But what good calculations do you have?

"Put him in prison, find out his identity, search his family property, arrest blood relatives within three generations; contact the nearby army, ask them to enforce martial law until they have a definite order, and check the strangers who have come in and out recently. face."

The yellow-faced man wailed suddenly.

And Shen Hui's eyes were extremely indifferent, seeing him being arrested and quickly detained, he turned around and strode back to the county government office.

As soon as He Le, who was guarding the door, looked up, he saw Mr. Shen, who always had a polite smile on his face, was serious. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurried forward: "My lord, this is it?"

"I'm going to Black Rock City, please escort me by my father-in-law." Shen Hui quickly walked into the room, took the money and food for the guide, and brought a small but sharp dagger with him, "Qiao Butou, when I'm not around, the county government will be in charge of you." The affairs are all handled by Miss Lianshi, she is a female official of the fifth rank, you can't wait to neglect."

Qiao Zhixin was already dumbfounded when Shen Hui called Hele "Elder-in-law". When he heard that Lianshi's official position was higher than that of Shen Hui, the county magistrate, he was even more incredulous. He only knew to answer "yes", and watched Shen Hui and Hele go to the direction of the stable behind the county government, and then he woke up: "My lord! What are you going to do, my lord?!"

"To confirm some things." Shen Hui replied without looking back.

He Le ran up behind him in small steps: "Master Shen, let's go as a servant, your body can't stand the bumps, and the weather in Black Rock City is still very cold, if you have an emergency, how can the servant give it to His Highness?" Confession?!"

They arrived at the stable one after the other. Shen Hui pulled out a horse and glanced at He Le: "You go? Are you going to collude with him again to hide it from me?"

He Le was full of embarrassment: "Your Highness also doesn't want you to worry..."

Shen Hui got on the horse, and He Le grabbed the bridle from the side: "Hey! Master Shen, please do me a favor. If His Highness knows that the servant didn't stop you, I'm afraid His Highness will peel off the servant!"

"I will tell him then that I knocked you out before I ran out." The smile on Shen Hui's face disappeared, and his whole person seemed to have become extraordinarily cold and hard, like a stone, unable to be persuaded or pushed away.

He waved Hele's hand away, lightly pinching the horse's belly.

He Le stomped his feet anxiously behind: "You should wear a big cloak anyway, and change into thick clothes before you go!" He pulled a horse casually, took away a thick coat from the groom, and hurriedly patted the horse and drove it away. up.

In the forest outside the west city wall.

Yin Shengle struggled to identify the direction in the snow everywhere: "Damn it, the fourth one, it's fine to sell information to foreign enemies, but he dares to install secret operations in the army, and dares to stop the reinforcements... Oh, not necessarily It's the fourth child, he doesn't have such a brain."

After learning that the Fourth Prince had colluded with the prairie people, Yin Shengle decided to use himself as a bait to lure him back.

Everything went well at first, and the grassland people rushed into the encirclement foolishly.

But then, the troops led by Yin Shengle and the garrison guarding here were unable to wait for help, and Yin Shengle was almost attacked from behind by the spy who was ambushing in the army.

If it wasn't for Li Wuyi's sharp eyes and hands to block him...

Yin Shengle took out a small piece of jerky from the dry food bag on his waist, grabbed the snow and put it in his mouth.

There was more than one assassin.

There are prairie cavalry outside, and hidden arrows inside who don't know the details. Yin Shengle immediately gave up his plan to encircle and suppress the prairie people, and instead drove them out of the country. Unwilling to give up this great opportunity, the assassins appeared one after another.

But at this time, the grassland people got the news from nowhere, and surrounded them in a swarm.

The hundreds of people he brought were to defend against the grassland cavalry, and the secret agents in the western city wall defenders did not know how many more; in such a situation where the only one he could trust completely was Li Wuyi. seriously injured.

Yin Shengle was extremely annoyed.

He ordered his soldiers to protect Li Wuyi, and he rushed out of the city wall holding the military flag, attracting the prairie people and assassins. Before laying out this plan, Yin Shengle had thoroughly investigated the terrain of this place.

He plunged into the dense forest, got off his horse, took the dry food and put the black charcoal back—this big black horse was too conspicuous in the snow—while he was hiding, he made a fire for the pursuers behind him. After seeing some plausible traces, he walked carefully in the direction of Dayin until he could no longer hear the voices of the prairie people.

It was too hasty when he came in, and he didn't have time to make a mark, so he could only carefully identify the north and south directions and trek hard.

I didn't bring much dry food, and I had already eaten most of it.

Yin Sheng was chewing the jerky, and saw a gray brown shadow flying over the tree next to him, his eyes lit up: "Hey! I'm sorry."

A dumb gray squirrel stood on the top of the tree, looking curiously at the human who appeared suddenly, and squeaked twice. Seeing the human climb up the tree suddenly, it jumped out of the treetop in fright. , jumped to another tree that was far away, and his small round black eyes were full of vigilance.

Yin Shengle climbed up the tree, found a small hidden hole in the trunk, reached in, and grabbed out a handful of dried mushrooms.

He put the mushrooms into the dry food bag and waved to the dumbfounded little squirrel: "I'm so sorry, if I can come back in the future, I'll bring you back ten catties of dried mushrooms."

Gray squirrels hopped up and down the treetops, squealing with anger.

Yin Shengle jumped off the tree: "You can also follow me, but before I go out, I can't take care of your food."

If this squirrel could speak human language, I am afraid that it would have cordially condoled the eighteen generations of ancestors of this shameless human being.

The chaos on the western city wall gradually subsided.

Li Wuyi was wounded on the left side of his chest, but fortunately he didn't pierce through it, leaving only a deep gash. He has come to his senses and is cursing at his elder brother who came to help him: "I said that this name is unlucky. How many times have you been unlucky, and this time you even got Xiao Qi! Listen to that fortune teller early, how about changing this bad name?"

Li Fengxi looked at his younger brother seriously: "So where did Brother Seven and Seven go?"

"It should be in the mountain outside the city." Li Wuyi said, "I don't remember what the name of this place is. You take the people, walk five miles west after leaving the city wall, then turn north, and walk three miles. If you can get to that mountain, if you encounter Heitan on the road—it is Xiaoqi’s horse, then just follow the horse, this horse is very human, and will naturally lead you to find his master."

After Li Wuyi finished speaking in a fit of anger, he lay down again, clutching his chest and grinning.

Li Fengxi carefully wrote down his explanation, and before leaving, he told Li Wuyi: "If you really don't like this name, you can change it, but if you insist on changing it to the surname 'Wei', let alone father, he will beat you up." You, I'm afraid that mother will give you a few hammers."

Wei's family rebelled, and all his families were convicted.

Li Wuyi tilted his head, pretending to be asleep.

Li Fengxi shook his head, and passed on the order to watch out for a big black horse.

If there is anything that is the most conspicuous on the vast snowfield, it is of course the black charcoal with its tall head and long legs, but for some reason, they have never been able to meet this black horse that is said to be extremely spiritual.

On Shen Hui's side, he didn't go to Black Rock City, but galloped directly to the west city wall where the accident happened. When he arrived, Li Fengxi's brigade had just left.

After finding Li Wuyi and asking Qing Yin Shengle where he was leaving, Shen Hui with a dark face snatched his fur coat and a pile of dry food and kindling and set off on the road again.
