For a while, the sound of anger, swords fighting, and wailing came one after another, Zhou Heng's fingers finally hooked down, and three crossbows shot in succession, shooting directly at the shoulders and chest of the leader.

This crossbow was specially made by someone he had found, and it was made very accurately, and the man was only concerned with guarding against the sudden appearance of a group of people in front of him, and he did not see the arrows shooting at him in the distance.

It wasn't until I felt the pain and the thing in my hand hit the ground that I realized that there was an ambush in the distance.

When he turned around and wanted to run, he was surrounded by four ginger figures, and the people behind Zhou Heng rushed out, picking up the things that had fallen on the ground when the leader was fighting with the four people around him, and ran back to the grass.

Zhou Heng took the palm-sized black lacquer square box handed over by the shadow guard, and he didn't think there was anything special, and it was even very light, as if it was empty.

It's just that there is a secret lock on the box, and he fiddles with the hazy moonlight for a while without opening it, so he simply puts it in his arms and continues to watch the battle.

When the shadow guards rushed forward, they took the lead in cutting off the legs of all the horses present, so that the other party would not have much chance to escape.

There are only more than ten of them, but there are more than 30 people on Zhou Heng's side, and the battle situation can be imagined.

Those people were not dead soldiers, so Zhou Heng was not worried about any drama of swallowing poison and committing suicide, and in less than two quarters of an hour, this unknown battle on the border was over.

Zhou Heng's men overwhelmingly captured four people from the other side, including two people from Beiyan, and the rest of them all went to Huangquan, but he also lost more than ten people on his side.

The ones he brought were all shadow guards that were one in a hundred, which shows how difficult the other party is.

"Let's go back", Zhou Heng waved his hand, and his men tied up those people and took them to the poplar forest two miles away in the southwest.

Zhou Heng took the lead in turning over and getting on his horse, and led his men to the west of Fuyou City.

He had only been in Fuyou City for three days, and after coming out of Fengyang, he went to two places, one of which was Fujian, where General Wu'an was stationed.

In recent years, the imperial court has gradually relaxed the supervision of the sea ban, although the coastal area is not lined with boats, it is also very lively, many merchants found this opportunity, out of interest considerations had to take the risk of crossing the sea.

However, the relaxation of the sea ban is also a great good thing for the coastal pirates, which means that they have more opportunities, and in the past, they could only pretend to be a small town along the coast to plunder a few things.

Once the sea ban is opened, there are always places where the initial management is not strict enough, there are many people, and it is easier to get in, and the sea is their world, and many ships that went to sea within half a year were lucky to come back but were robbed in the territory of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and finally lost all their money.

General Wu'an was originally stationed in Xining, but Zhou Heng felt that opportunities and risks coexisted, and wanted to secretly expand his power by taking advantage of the chaos along the coast, so he managed to transfer him to Fujian.

It's just that the local garrison hasn't been promoted for several years, and Li Si, the general soldier of Fujian, has been here for many years, and he has long been in a relationship with his subordinates, so General Wu An has always struggled in the past few months.

Because of the breath in his heart and his upright temperament, he also beheaded a lieutenant general who openly opposed him, although some people were deterred because of this, but in the end, the army was disoriented, and it was difficult to prohibit it.

So Zhou Heng went to Fujian to hide behind the scenes, helping him subdue a group of soldiers or lure him with wealth, or beauties, or pinched to the point of sore feet, and only dared to leave after opening up the situation.

Then he went straight to Fuyou City, because he received the news that Beiyan had been moving frequently recently, and compared to others, he knew more about this enemy country that had been in the city for four years, and he arrived at his destination three days ago by hurrying day and night.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Fuyou City, he didn't think of how to contact the garrison generals, so he met these people.

I thought that the third prince had also gotten some news and came to find out, but I didn't expect him to contact the people of Beiyan privately.

"Lock them up in the dungeon first," Zhou Heng ordered.

The place where they were located was a deserted cottage, and he had a foothold in Fuyouben, but it was not secret enough, so he chose this place again.

The surrounding area is deserted and populated, and it used to be the lair of a group of bandits, because it was exterminated by the guards of Fuyou City some time ago, and it was empty here, and it happened to be discovered by the shadow guards who explored the terrain, and it was requisitioned.

Because it was surrounded and suppressed by soldiers, although the village was turned over in a mess, all the products were available, so there was no need to buy them.

"Yu Mo didn't come over, why didn't you see him", Zhou Heng asked the shadow guard behind him.

"Brother Yu came over in the afternoon, because he saw that Gongzi had not come back yet, he found a room to rest first, he rode a horse for seven or eight days in a row, and he was sleeping heavily at this time", Ying Wei reported according to the truth.

The master is not that unkind person, so he is not worried that Zhou Heng will blame.

By the time Zhou Heng saw Yu Mo, it was already the second day, and he was still dressed in a black robe, and he didn't even take off the black hood on his head without coming to see Zhou Heng.

There is no emotion in the cold eyes, like an iceberg that does not melt for thousands of years, and you can never feel the slightest temperature.

If Mu Zhiyue stood in front of him, he would definitely recognize that this person was the man in black who almost killed Xiao Zhuo in the small alley.

"Childe", his voice was as cold as his eyes.

"How's it going over there?"

"Everything is going according to plan, what you want has arrived, just waiting for your further instructions".

Zhou Heng nodded, Xia Yi was still more relieved to act.

"One more thing," Yu Mo paused.

"The master inadvertently discovered that the people of the Six Princes were secretly spying on the Mu family."

Zhou Heng looked up at Yu Mo, who was always expressionless: "The Sixth Prince? How could he pay attention to the Mu family? ”

"I don't know, it was the six girls of the Mu family who found out that a little girl was behaving differently, and when she recruited someone to arrest him, she was discovered by our people, and the master felt that something was wrong with this matter and secretly investigated, and it turned out that the little girl was the person of the six princes, and he was not only spying on the Mu family. I also had a few contacts with the people of Huaiyuan Bofu", Yu Mo said what he knew.

Zhou Heng heard Miss Mu Liu again after half a year, but he didn't expect that one of her actions would allow Xia Yi to find out so many things.

Sixth brother, I can't imagine that even Uncle Huaiyuan Mansion will not let go of anyone who has no ability, and he also started the idea of the Mu family.

The eldest uncle of the sixth prince is Min Wenliang, the left governor of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion, and the right Governor has long been under his command, so Min Wenliang is the only one in the Five Armies Governor's Mansion.

The emperor has long been afraid that the Min family is too powerful, but the Min family has always been very low-key over the years, and he has not caught the emperor in the slightest mistake, so the emperor cannot be deposed at will, but after all, it is a piece of his heart.

But he didn't want the six princes to be intoxicated with Taoism on the surface, and he burned incense and alchemy in the mansion every day, and he did a lot of small actions in secret.
