Extra

After receiving the order, the reinforcements began to rush without stopping for a moment.

A few days later, he successfully joined the sailor.

The number of helpers dispatched is not much, the number is less than 200, but all of them are masters in the army, even if they are put in the rivers and lakes, they will never be underestimated.

After greeting the chief soldiers, the person who led the team found that Qiao Heng was still missing, so he asked, "I am waiting to escort Lord Qiao back to Beijing by holy order, I don't know where Lord Qiao is now?"

The chief soldier's face changed slightly, and he feigned emotion, saying, "This is a long story. 」

"Please also make a long story short, Lord Commander. The team leader said.

The chief soldier said, "It's also our incompetence, Master Qiao probably thinks that we are dragging him down, so he left alone. 」

When the team leader heard that Master Qiao was not on the boat, he hurriedly asked, "Where did Master Qiao go after leaving?"

It's all mixed up in officialdom, who doesn't understand anyone, as soon as he heard what the chief soldier said, he knew that he could only believe half of it at most. But at this time, he didn't have the heart to delve into the inside story, he just wanted to know where Master Qiao was now.

The chief soldier was embarrassed and said, "This Jingguan has always been with me, and I don't know where he is now. 」

He looked at the team leader who was frowning and comforted, "Why is Brother Tai so impatient, I'll let people inquire about the news. Come on, come on, I've already ordered someone to set up a banquet here, let's rest for a while, maybe there will be news later. 」

Although the general soldier was apprehensive in his heart, he was quite calm. The imperial court has always needed military generals to balance the forces of the rivers and lakes, as long as the people of the rivers and lakes are not eliminated for a day, the status of the military generals in the hearts of the saints will be unshakable for a day.

However, Master Qiao has always been valued by the saints, and it is probably indispensable to punish small punishments and admonishments.

The leader's brows furrowed even tighter, and he wanted to ask something more about Lord Qiao, but the chief soldier talked about him left and right, which made him suspicious.

Then, after a little enlightenment, anger rose in his heart.

In the next moment, the calmness on the face of the chief soldier completely disappeared.

The sword was unsheathed with a thud, and then a chill fell around his neck.

The leader grabbed the hilt of his sword and placed it around the neck of the commander.

He approached the general soldier: "Don't talk nonsense, tell me, where has Master Qiao gone?"

The chief soldier's voice trembled and said, "What is this for, you are crazy, aren't you afraid that I will join you!"

"You're really crazy. If you want to play the drama of raising self-respect and killing people with a knife, it depends on whether the people in the rivers and lakes give you this opportunity. You're going to kill yourself, don't drag me into the water!"

"Idiot. These two words seemed to be squeezed out of the leader's teeth.

The chief soldier's careful thinking, how could he, who is also a military general, not see clearly.

He was already mad, he led everyone to gallop all the way after receiving the holy order, during which he avoided the people of the rivers and lakes without danger, and did not reveal the slightest whereabouts, just to be able to take over Lord Qiao safely and escort him back to Beijing.

When the result arrived, the person was gone?

Where did this general soldier come from to invite him to eat and drink?

The chief soldier was blamed by him, and the whole person was stunned for a while while he was nervous.

The conscience of heaven and earth, he has never had such a mind at all. The Jianghu people are not domestic dogs that can be kept in captivity, and they are self-respecting? It is almost the same to raise tigers for trouble! How can he show mercy to the Jianghu people's subordinates.

However, let alone an outsider, even if he thinks about it now, he must think that he has this suspicion.

The chief soldier was in a cold sweat, and this matter had to be explained.

He hurriedly defended himself: "Master Qiao is really going to leave by himself, and it has nothing to do with me! I know I don't sound very credible when I say this, but I really don't know where he went!"

"Then he wants to leave, and you just let him go?

The chief soldier said that recently, the people in the rivers and lakes have been like mad dogs, and almost all the masters on the ship have lost it, and if he doesn't leave, maybe there will be his own share among the people who suffer.

When he saw that the team leader's face was pale, he knew that his explanation was not listened to by the other party at all.

The chief soldier hurriedly said, "But...... He is Lin Pingzhi! He can ward off evil swordsmanship, and his martial arts are so powerful, how can he need my help. 」

Yes, that one is Lin Pingzhi, the master of the evil sword spectrum.

In front of such a practice that has almost been deified by everyone, Lin Pingzhi, as its master, also seems to be shrouded in an aura of omnipotence, and the more he gets along with him, the more no one doubts this. Even if everyone knew that he had suffered the pain of annihilation and had exhausted his manpower, this incident not only showed that he was weak and deceitful, but also painted him with another layer of legend.

It's as if all the hardships and dangers will always turn into good fortune in the end.

But many people have forgotten that Lin Pingzhi is still a person, a living, bleeding and dying person.

In this regard, on the contrary, those who want to put him to death can see it more clearly.

The chief soldier didn't dare to delay any longer, he sent several ships and ordered people to follow the direction of Qiao Heng's last departure.

The team leader selected good people from his own group who were good at observing clues, led by these people, and the rest of the people followed, scattering in all directions to find the trace of Lord Qiao.

Qiao Heng is a person who doesn't pursue material desires much, and he doesn't have any hobbies, so it basically doesn't work to start from his behavior and habits.

Fortunately, the general soldier still remembered the ship he was on when he left that day.

Everyone followed the map, and only hoped that this Lord Qiao would not change ships on a whim.

It didn't take much effort, and after spending a lot of energy, there was finally news about this.

However, after the leader rushed to the destination, his heart sank instantly.

I saw that there were charred black burn marks on the pier, and occasionally scattered charred black sawdust could be seen in the grass, and a broken ship skeleton was half on the shore and half soaked in the water.

"This military master, the grass people don't know what's going on here. I'll talk about it in general, and you can just listen to it. The other night, I was asleep when I suddenly heard a loud noise waking me up. The third child of the He family went to see it that night, and said that a ship had exploded into flowers, and the flames were about to burn to the sky. During the day, when everyone went to look, there were much more broken wood on the shore than now, and many people picked up a few pieces of wood to burn wood and make beds. 」

The villager was afraid of being reprimanded by the officers and soldiers, so when he said this, he carefully glanced at the officers and soldiers, and saw that the other party was not unhappy, so he was relieved.

"Was there anyone in the ship when it happened?"

The villagers said, "Yes, there are people in it, how can there be no one in such a big boat! When the boy of the He family went by at night, he said that there were dead bodies soaked in the water, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to stay longer. But the next day, the big guy didn't see the dead body, the ship was blown apart, and the body had long since drifted down the water. 」

After the villager left, the leader of the team said to the people, "Seek!

The news from here soon reached the ears of the little emperor.

The messenger thought that the emperor would be furious when he heard the news that Lord Qiao was not known about his life and death, but he did not expect that the emperor only ordered an increase in the number of search personnel after being silent for a long time, and then said, "What about the chief soldier? Take him down and send him to the capital. Then he was told to step down.

When only the emperor and his chamberlains were left in the palace, the emperor allowed himself to reveal his true emotions.

It was a gloomy look.

After more than ten days, there is still no new news related to Qiao Heng.

In fact, at this time, everyone knew each other that if Qiao Heng was still alive, he would be able to walk to the capital even if he walked at this time. If the Jianghu people had caught him and wanted to use this as a threat to negotiate with the imperial court, they would have sent someone to negotiate with the imperial court.

However, neither case happened.

Now there is only one possibility

That night, Qiao Heng had already died with the people from the rivers and lakes who came to attack.

But no one dared to mention this in front of the little emperor.

These days, although the emperor behaved as calmly and majestic in the court as ever, as if all his anger had been vented on the chief soldier of the navy, no one thought that the matter would end there.

Want to get this over the table?

No way.

The emperor said silently.

The emperor didn't think that this matter was only related to the people of the rivers and lakes, he thought firmly, I was afraid that someone on the side of the military commander had moved his mind that should not be moved.

You want to play with self-respect, but what does this have to do with Qiao Qing?

Yes, Qiao Qing was born in the rivers and lakes, and after defecting to the imperial court, he should have used martial arts to become a martial artist, but he actually participated in the imperial examination and entered the court as a literati.

They had long looked at Qiao Qing unpleasantly.

In today's action to encircle and suppress the people in the rivers and lakes, although the official army is the main force, Qiao Qing is indispensable for this matter to plan behind his back. Either the east wind pressed the west wind, or the west wind pressed the east wind. This group of guys, who have always been self-respecting and greedy for power, how can they be willing to take away part of their good achievements and be crushed by the literati?

It doesn't matter, the accounts of the Jianghu people are almost finished, let's take our time, it will be your turn.

The Emperor thought.

In his memory, Qiao Qing never confided in anyone about his situation in the court.

However, why didn't I notice anything about these things?

The Emperor felt the air around him become viscous, pestering him for breath.

He put all his heart on the people of the rivers and lakes, and was blinded and confused by the joy of imminent victory.

He knew that Qiao Qing was not in good health, and he put all the burden on him. It's just because he doesn't trust others, and the so-called most valued Qiao Qing.

It was this trust and value that personally sent Qiao Qing to the place of death.

The price of this blue eye, even from the perspective of the Ninety-Five Lord, who is the co-lord of the world, is too expensive.

Liu Qin hadn't closed his eyes for two days, and after he quickly found Jin Ji, he directly grabbed Jin Ji's collar.

"So, what about the others, Lord Joe?"

Watching Kim didn't take Liu Qin's hand away, he said blankly, "I don't know. 」

Liu Qin looked at Kim intently, as if to tell if he was lying.

After a while, he let go of his hand and took a half-step back, lest he could restrain his anger. He asked, "You don't know, you were the one who accompanied Master Qiao to leave the capital, how could you not know?"

"On the way back to Beijing, he said I hadn't been home for a long time and told me to go home and see, and then we separated. 」

Liu Qin laughed angrily and said, "At this critical juncture, he suddenly asked you to go home, don't you feel that there is anything wrong at all? He obviously doesn't want to involve you! Do you have to go home at this time?"

Kim said, "I don't want to leave! I thought I had annoyed him by saying the wrong thing, so he was going to drive me home and reflect. 」

At that time, he really thought that his brother was angry with him. However, the truth is, it is he who will be wrong.

When he learned that his brother had an accident, he hurried back, but by the time he arrived at the accident site, there was no trace of him, only the scorch marks on the dock reminded him of what had happened that night.

Since the elder brother was not in good health, he asked around in the pharmacy and medical hall in a nearby town if he had seen a young man about twenty years old. To date, however, there has been no progress.

As if trying to convince himself, he kept silently saying in his heart: no news is good news.

But a voice whispered to him in his head: No need to look for it, my brother may not have a chance to go ashore alive in that explosion.

The more he couldn't help but think about it later, and this speculation took over his whole mind like a weed.

Watchman can only keep finding something to do for himself, in case he thinks about it again.

He kept recalling his last conversation with his brother, trying to find something useful.

But this was just asking for help, he didn't

told Liu Qin that in the last conversation between him and his brother, he was actually unilaterally accusing his brother.

Obviously, he didn't mean this, he just wanted Brother Ah to pay more attention to his body and stop risking his body, but the taste changed when he said it.

Now that I think about it, there was a better way to communicate at that time, and he chose the most stupid and easy way to hurt people.

He broke up with Liu Qin unhappily.

Liu Qin decided to find Master Qiao by herself.

Kim didn't know where to go next.

He has already traveled to the villages, towns, and docks around the place where the accident occurred. Other than that, where else can he go to continue his search?

He was more confused than ever.

When he woke up early one morning, he didn't know what to think, and suddenly had the idea of going to Fuzhou, his brother's hometown.

Once standing on Ximen Street, the magnificent and magnificent mansion has been deserted.

The two vermilion lacquer doors were no longer brightly colored, and the copper nails on the doors were stained with rust, half of the doors were wide open, and half of the doors were lying crookedly in the doorway.

Kim stepped over the threshold and walked in.

The courtyard is overgrown with wild grass and is unusually quiet, and unknown traces of dark color can be faintly seen on the bluestone slabs, and even the light seems to be a little dimmed.

When he came to the backyard, he saw that someone in the courtyard had already taken the lead.

It was a tall man, standing with his back to Watchman, looking at the ruined house in the courtyard.

Jin felt that this person was very familiar, with a broad back and a long sword wrapped around his waist.

"Zhang Daxia!"

It was the martial artist that Brother had hired for him and Liu Qin.

However, as the man slowly turned around and saw the unfamiliar face, Watchman realized that he had recognized the wrong person.

Just as Kim was about to apologize, the man said, "So you came in. 」

The tone of the other party's speech was a little familiar, coupled with the back similar to Zhang Daxia, Jin asked half vigilantly and half confusedly, "...... Who the hell are you?"

Lin Zhennan heard these words familiarly, and he seemed to have asked others the same thing.

In my memory, the young man confronted him and said, "I'm Qiao Heng. 」

The firm and clear voice in the old days seemed to have traveled through time and space, and it echoed softly in Lin Zhennan's mind.

At this moment, Lin Zhennan said in a deep voice: "I am Lin Zhennan. 」

The two voices overlapped, but one of them was nowhere to be found.

The author has something to say: this volume over, the next chapter will change the map
