Wen Sheng said goodbye to Ji Nantang and took more than 20 horses straight to Yongchang.

These more than 20 horsemen are Jing Jie with a scout team, plus An Minxue's master servant. Two Yongchang people are guides in it.

An Minxue had to follow, when he passed the edict, Wen Sheng asked someone to buy him a guqin back, although it was not as easy as An Minxue's original, but there was a qin, so he was no longer useless in trouble.

Although Wen Sheng was anxious, every time he passed through a town or village, he still patiently asked Jing Jie and others to scatter and inquire to see if anyone had seen Tan Yaohua in November or February last year.

The result was no, and according to many people, some time ago someone in the area asked the same question, and promised to reward someone with a lot of money if they could provide useful clues.

Wen Sheng felt that the previous group of people should have been sent by the Tan family from the capital.

So I inquired all the way about the Xingcheng of Yongchang.

Xingcheng has just passed a big battle in the first month, the battlefield is ruined and broken, and you can see broken arrows and broken limbs everywhere, that is, winter, otherwise I don't know how many flies, insects and ants will be recruited, and Wen Sheng and others have no way to find clues.

After passing through Xingcheng, Wen Sheng asked An Minxue: "Senior Brother An, you wrote a letter to Tan Dagongzi before, did you mention which way we took in Yongchang?" ”

The letter has always been written by Hua Feizhou, and An Minxue is not sure, but he only knows that after Hua Feizhou left Beijing, he and Tan Jinhua exchanged letters very frequently.

Wen Sheng pondered for a while, and made a judgment: "It must have been mentioned, otherwise Tan Jinhua would not have taken people through righteous achievements." ”

She urged her horse forward and caught up with Jing Jie: "Captain Jing." Show me the map. ”

The righteous achievement of the Tan brothers meeting in the winter of last year has deviated from the official road from Xionghuai Pass to Xingcheng from the map, as Jing Jie said before. Sure enough, it was very close to Lisong Cliff.

After discussing with everyone, they decided to follow the road they came, and by the way, they would take a good look at the section of the mountain road from Lisong Cliff to the Zaopo Slope.

Twenty miles west of Xingcheng is the mountain jujube slope, and further on, the road becomes rugged and difficult, Jing Jie is not at ease, and orders his fellow scouts to disperse to explore the way. Not only to prevent an ambush in front, but also to check whether there is any abnormality at the bottom of the ditch behind the roadside stones.

There were no gains for two consecutive days, and An Minxue was tired of traveling during the day. At night, the wound was itchy and I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't help but feel anxious, but seeing that both Wen Sheng and Jing Jie and others were very patient, they couldn't bear to come out.

Wen Sheng was discussing with Jing Jie: "Yang Haojian is confronting the people of the imperial court in Xionghuai Pass. It doesn't matter who has the upper hand. The official road is always under the control of his two families, and the Louis of the mountain and the slope of the mountain is difficult to attack, so it is better to take it as soon as possible in case of emergency. ”

What kind of untimely needs Wen Sheng didn't say clearly, so Jing Jie didn't know whether she was planning to go straight to Jingding from this road in the coming day and kill back to Fengjing.

These things are to worry about by the general and Lord Du.

Jing Jie immediately called the two of them over and explained Wen Sheng's meaning to the two of them. After such an order, they were told to return to Xiyao Village, where the Ji family army was stationed. Report to Ji Nantang in person.

On the morning of this day, everyone was still searching on the mountain road, Jing Jie looked up at the front, made a loud whistle, and said loudly: "Everyone cheer up, the front is to Shenhualing." ”

Wen Sheng's heart jumped when he heard this, and he blurted out: "Where did you say?" ”

Jing Jie said casually: "Shen Hualing! ”

At this moment, I can already see Shenhualing in the distance, with a small road sandwiched between the peaks on both sides, like half a gourd falling to the ground, just looking at it, I feel that the road ahead must be very dangerous.

Wen Sheng's reaction was so big, it was when she suddenly thought that the army was coming, before passing through Shenhualing, Jing Jie once told them that nine years ago, Shenhualing was still entrenched in a group of bandits of thousands of people, and later it was General Ji who personally led the army to suppress the bandits and opened up this shortcut. At that time, Zhong Tianzheng was very concerned about it, and specially asked how the name of the mountain came from, and what two words the so-called "Shenhua" were.

is like Zhong Tianzheng, who is obviously doing perverse things, but on the surface, he likes the fate of the false heaven.

"Shenhua" can be the sun sinking from the west of the mountain, or it can be ......

Wen Sheng didn't dare to think about it, so he only said: "Let's stay here for a while longer, and look for every inch of the mountain road, there is a great possibility that there are clues left in this vicinity." ”

Once she had associations, she didn't even want to mention the three words Shen Hualing.

Jing Jie answered and ordered to go down.

The most precipitous section of Shenhualing is also more than ten miles, and it is really necessary to search inch by inch according to what Wen Sheng said, but it is not done in a short time.

The scouts of Ji Jiajun went to carry out their mission in silence, and Wen Sheng also dismounted, and looked at Jing Jie and An Minxue while walking.

There are many bamboos in the mountains and fields of Yongchang, and Shenhualing is no exception, a bunch of unkempt bushes grow in a high place, and the wind blows and salaries, and when you enter the gourd valley, the withered yellow weeds are not above your knees.

The rocks falling from the ridges on both sides roll on the side of the road, and they are tens of millions of years old, usually inconspicuous, and they are all troublesome at this time.

Wen Sheng led everyone to stay on this mountain road for three days.

At noon on the third day, one of the scouts stooped down to pick up something from the grass, shone it into the sun, squinted his eyes and judged: "Look, what is this?" ”

It was an inconspicuous disc with dirt on it.

As he said this, he rubbed his thumb and forefinger on the disc, which was smooth and glowing red in the sun.

It's jade.

"I'll see." This small piece of jade the size of a fingernail is called Wen Shengguan's color change.

An Minxue, who was wearing a hat on the side, also recognized it: "This is the piano emblem." ”

What's more, Wen Sheng held it in his hand, but his hand couldn't help but tremble a little.

The color of this piano emblem looks the same as the emblem of Tan Yaohua's piano.

Could it be that a few months ago, there was an unknown life-and-death battle here, so fierce that Tan Yaohua even destroyed the piano?

And what about his people?

"It's around here, let's look for it again."

It's been too long, it's hard to find any other clues, there are traces of the fight, and after these months of wind and rain, there is nothing left.

Jing Jie personally inspected it for a long time and said, "If it is a scene here, it should be carefully cleaned up." ”

Wen Sheng squeezed the piece of piano emblem tightly and held it in the palm of his hand: "Go to the front and look for it." ”

In this way, until dusk, the group went out of Shenhualing, and there was nothing else.

Jing Jie saw that Wen Sheng's face was not quite right, and asked her, "Miss Gu, are we going to do righteous deeds next?" ”

Wen Sheng hesitated: "It's already here, let's go take a look." ”

At this moment, a person turned behind the big stone more than ten zhang in front of him, and arched his hand at everyone here, saying, "I don't know which one is Miss Gu?" (To be continued......)
