The undercover agent sent by the imperial court

Yin Tianming's speed was really good, and the two soon arrived at the nearest city to the capital, which was also a well-developed city, but compared to the prosperity of the capital, it was more peaceful and peaceful.

Ling Xuan was sitting on the side of the road waiting for the carriage that Yin Tianming swore would definitely bring, when he saw a familiar person, he couldn't say he was familiar with him, after all he had only met a few times, and he didn't say more than ten sentences in total.

It was Gu Jing, the envoy from Nazhamu, who was also surprised when he saw Ling Xuan, "Why is the prince here?"

It seems that the news that he was taken away from the hunting ground did not spread, Ling Xuan sat on the stone bench by the roadside and didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, "Come out for a walk, envoy Gu is going to meet? "

"Yes." Gu Jing smiled slightly, "Where is the prince going for a walk, if you don't mind, you can go with me."

Gu Jing is from Nazamu, but he doesn't have the obvious ethnic appearance like the guards around him, but he also has very deep eye sockets and eyes, and his smile is a little elegant and affectionate, which makes people feel good.

Ling Xuan didn't dislike this emissary from a foreign land, but he politely refused, "Thank you for the invitation, but forget it."

Gu Jing didn't ask any further questions, and he didn't see any dissatisfaction with Ling Xuan sitting on the stone bench, "Then I will take my leave, and please come to Nazamu as a guest when you have time."

Ling Xuan nodded as a polite word, "I will."

When Yin Tianming drove the carriage back, Gu Jing's convoy had just left. Yin Tianming glanced at it and asked casually, "That's the messenger from Zhamu."

Ling Xuan patted the hem of his clothes and sat in the carriage. Hearing Yin Tianming's words, he asked curiously, "Why, you know them too?"

"I saw it when I was in the capital." Yin Tianming retracted his gaze and said to Ling Xuan, "You'd better be careful, these people are not simple."

"Na Zhamu is about to change." Ling Xuan said indifferently, "But the envoy who came this time can't tell which prince's subordinate it is. I don't know if he can cooperate with Na Zhamu in the future."

"If the cooperation fails, Bocheng will bear the brunt." Yin Tianming smiled. Bocheng's current trade is based on the good relationship with Nazamu. If something happens, Bocheng will be the first to be unlucky, "That's not bad."

"What's so good about this." Ling Xuan glanced at Yin Tianming, "Bocheng is the only direct exit in the Helian Mountains, and it will definitely be the number one fortress."

"But it's also Shao Ziqian's territory." Yin Tianming swung his whip, "Drive!"

"Could you please be concerned about the hardworking people?" Ling Xuan rolled his eyes.

"If you care about hard-working people, why are you making such a big fuss on your birthday? Send all those treasures to the warehouse." Yin Tianming sighed, "I really can't figure out why you have to come out if you don't go to the capital."

"I'm so tired of managing the country for the common people all day long, so I'm not allowed to spend more money on my birthday." Ling Xuan raised his eyebrows, "And the capital city is like that. If you get tired of staying here, go out and drink porridge for a change."

Yin Tianming shook his head and waved his whip, "It wasn't like this when I first saw you." I think that young boy who confessed his love for the first time has already made use of this feeling very skillfully.

"It's okay, when I return to the rivers and lakes, I will return to the way I was before." Ling Xuan patted Yin Tianming's shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go!"

The road is not long but not short. When Yin Tianming brought Ling Xuan to Bocheng, there was already snowflakes in the sky. When Ling Xuan got off the car, there was already a thin layer of snow on the road. Walking over, the original appearance of the ground was revealed.

The leader's mansion was closed, Ling Xuan went up to the doorknob and knocked on it, his hands were stained with dust, Ling Xuan clapped his hands, "Is anyone still here?"

Yin Tianming looked around, "There are still people."

After a while, a figure opened the door, it was Qiangwei, "Young Master Ling, Master Yin, are you two okay?"

Ling Xuan looked at Qiangwei, who had no intention of inviting the two of them in, and asked directly, "Where is the last place where Leader Shao disappeared?"

After a slight silence, Qiangwei said, "Master Ling, isn't it very clear? The place where the lord disappeared last is the cliff where you two went to Nazamu."

Yin Tianming kicked the door open and raised his eyebrows and said, "Ling Xuan and I came out of the underground river. We don't know where the cliff you mentioned is."

Qiangwei dodged to avoid the door that was kicked open, "I will convey what you two have to do with the leader. Please come back today."

Ling Xuan frowned, saying that he was conveying the message on his behalf, but the people in the Lord's Mansion didn't even know where Shao Ziqian was, and their attitude was also very strange. Yin Tianming wouldn't think so much. It's just a broken house.

"Here's the map, we're looking for Shao Ziqian." Yin Tianming directly dragged Ling Xuan in, and Ling Xuan was dragged into the leader's mansion by Yin Tianming while he was still thinking.

"Why does the lord's mansion listen to you, a devil?" Although Ling Xuan came in, he was very speechless about Yin Tianming's behavior.

"The rivers and lakes are not as clear-cut as you think." Yin Tianming smiled, "Shao Ziqian and I seem to have been at odds for so many years, but it was all for the court to see."

Ling Xuan understood Yin Tianming's implication in an instant, but, "Is it really okay for me to hear such words?"

"What's the matter, wouldn't it be nice to have some changes after so many years?" Yin Tianming entered the room and watched Qiangwei lay out a map, which was the detailed map of the Helian Mountains.

"The leader jumped off the cliff here." Qiangwei pointed to a cliff, "Our people who went to Nazamu said that after the leader went, he heard some news and suddenly shot and killed the two tribes who were there at that time. All of them disappeared without a trace.”

"There is still gunpowder left at the scene." Qiangwei said that she took out a sword here, which was Shao Ziqian's previous sword. The blood on it had not been wiped off, and the blade was still damaged.

Gunpowder, it seems that Shao Ziqian did not look for the wrong place, but why did he suddenly kill someone? Ling Xuan took the sword and looked at it carefully for a long time, "Let's wash it." It looks so dirty.

Qiangwei looked at Ling Xuan silently, Ling Xuan turned his head away, "Well, pretend I didn't say anything."

Yin Tianming thought for a while, "It's time to go into the mountain to have a look, and clean up an empty room first, let's rest here tonight."

"I want to take a bath, remember to prepare water." Ling Xuan pushed the door and told him to go out, Yin Tianming put down his sword and followed Ling Xuan out.

"What do you think?" Ling Xuan stretched out his hand and watched the snowflakes fall into his hand and asked.

"Shao Ziqian attaches great importance to his sword, but the scar on the sword just now shows that he didn't think about it at all when using the sword." Yin Tianming touched the sword at his waist and said, "It shouldn't be, unless he encountered something at that time. He didn't care about it at all."

"Only relying on Na Zhamu's people?" It's not that they look down on Na Zhamu's people, but what can Na Zhamu's remaining defeated generals do?To put it bluntly, I still look down upon it.

"He's looking for you." Yin Tianming said calmly, "Since he was able to abandon his sword, it means that the rest of the people must have said something that made him lose his mind, such as you died."

"But if you think about it with your brain, you know it's impossible. Do I look so weak?" Ling Xuan couldn't help but said, "He's not that stupid."

"The usual Shao Ziqian is definitely not stupid, but there should be some circumstances that made him think that you died in the attack of gunpowder. He thinks you are from the world, and it is normal that you don't know gunpowder. Then this situation is still possible." Yin Tianming Analyzing, "But I can't figure out what made him have this illusion. Could it be that he was obsessed with practicing Qigong at that time?"

Speaking of this sentence, Ling Xuan couldn't help but look back at Yin Tianming, and the two thought of one thing at the same time, "Ouyang Wangu's exercises."

"But is there really such a book of exercises?" Ling Xuan asked uncertainly, "Has anyone heard of it?"

"No, there are only rumors, but whether there is this exercise is really something to say, but they said before that Shao Ziqian's skill has really increased after the previous retreat, but it is a bit like that peerless exercise." Yin Tianming said It was the subordinate who stayed in Bocheng to inquire about the news.

Qiangwei appeared before the two finished talking, "The room has been cleaned, please come."

Ling Xuan touched his chin, why did he have to guess here? Isn't there someone ready-made? "Miss Qiangwei, did your leader get Ouyang Wangu's exercises in the Xuanbing Cave?"

Qiangwei's pace didn't change, but Yin Tianming felt Qiangwei's slightly moved face and said after Ling Xuan, "If so, there may be something wrong with that exercise."

Qiangwei pushed open the courtyard door where Ling Xuan and the other two lived before and turned around and said, "Come in and sit down, both of you."

Not far from this courtyard is the courtyard where Shao Ziqian himself lived. Ling Xuan stepped into the room where the charcoal fire had been burned and sat down. Qiangwei organized her words for a while and said, "At that time, the leader did follow everyone to the last place, but long before I So I went another way to get Ouyang Wangu's exercises."

"Switching." Ling Xuan suddenly realized that although he wasn't there, it didn't prevent Ling Xuan from figuring out what Shao Ziqian had done, "What happened after that?"

"The lord has been in seclusion for a while since he came back. We have been sending people to dig through the mountain to find the whereabouts of the two of you, but we accidentally discovered the underground river." Qiangwei took out the map and drew the location of the underground river, "It's here, and then start working Dredge the underground river."

"Afterwards, the lord went out and said that the two should have gone out from the other side through the passage of the underground river, so he directly opened the entrance of the cave, dug out the underground river, found the location of the water flow, and then the lord set off." Qiangwei pointed to Shao Ziqian The last location to disappear.

"The two came back from Nazamu after that." Qiangwei finished recording the map and poured a glass of water to drink.

Ling Xuan looked at the map, "So are you going to take a look here tomorrow?" Ling Xuan asked, pointing to the location where Shao Ziqian jumped off the cliff last.

"No need to go there." Yin Tianming studied the map, "Their people must have searched the mountain and there is no need to go there again. Is there any suitable place for retreat near here?"

Qiangwei stepped forward and drew an area, "These are the places we have searched, and this mountain range is not suitable for retreat."

"Yin Tianming probably went mad when he was practicing that exercise. If he believes that Ling Xuan is dead, he will probably believe the so-called saying of changing fate." Yin Tianming concluded, "This exercise is absolutely There is a problem, it is easy to cause accidents if the skill is improved so quickly."

"Then where do you plan to start looking?" Ling Xuan looked at the map for a long time but did not come to a conclusion, then turned to ask Yin Tianming.

"Rest first, after driving for so many days, it's time to take a good bath and relax." Yin Tianming threw the map on his back and said, "Is the water ready?"

Qiangwei put away the map, "There is a hot spring in the back of the yard, it's hot now, so you two can go there if you don't mind."

"Is there a hot spring here?" Ling Xuan opened the courtyard door and asked in surprise, "By the way, bring another set of clothes over here, and throw away my change of clothes."

Yin Tianming wore a black black robe bought by the city before and the cloak given by Ling Xuan before, indicating that he also wanted one, and Qiangwei stood at the door and took a breath to express that he understood.

Ling Xuan didn't think too much, took off his clothes, threw water aside, washed his body, and soaked in the hot spring. He didn't realize that this hot spring was a mistake before, and Yin Tianming also went into the water not far away.

Ling Xuan raised his eyes and took a look. His strong muscles contained explosive power, and his even dark complexion looked good. Ling Xuan glanced up and down, a little jealous, and then confirmed that the key parts were not as big as himself, so he lay down in peace. .

Light snow was still falling from the sky, shoulders were slightly cold, Ling Xuan sank, "You said before that there is something wrong with Ouyang Wangu's exercises, what's the problem?"

Originally, Yin Tianming held the attitude of an upright gentleman and didn't pay much attention to Ling Xuan. At this moment, Ling Xuan opened his mouth and turned to look at him, "Probably some kind of evil work."

Ling Xuan soaked in the hot spring, his skin, which was not tanned no matter what, was soaked in the water like white jade. Now that I think about it, it should be the reason why Ling Xuan practiced the kung fu. Practicing in the sun, but the skin is like white jade, not contaminated by the secular world.

But Ling Xuan's elder brother is not as white as Ling Xuan because he is the emperor who practiced another set of kung fu that complements dragon energy, "Evil kung fu? After all, the aristocratic families are all martial arts leaders, don't they have ancestral kung fu?"

"No." Yin Tianming said calmly, "Shao Ziqian's talent is excellent, but it's a pity that he was defeated by his skills, otherwise he would not use such means to win Ouyang Wangu's skills based on his character."

"It's so miserable." Ling Xuan sighed and came out of the water again, the delicate collarbone was even more attractive after stretching, Yin Tianming looked away.

Ling Xuan put his hands on the bank and leaned leisurely, "Then he is doomed, hiding in some deep mountain and old forest alone to practice this kind of evil kung fu."

"Then let's not look for him. We originally wanted to see the exercises. Now there's no need to look at it." Ling Xuan didn't have the self-consciousness that he had just agreed to Qiangwei.

"Let's go and find out. I don't think he will die easily. The worst case may be to become a lunatic, and the possibility of this is not ruled out." Yin Tianming analyzed rationally.

"You said that." Ling Xuan thought for a while, "That's right, I don't rule out the possibility, so let's look for it, seeing is believing."
