Occasional incidents, troubles and troubles. The people will be terrified, and they will kill each other. ------- Xianbei Murong's sword inscription "Thirty-six Strategies. Inverse Scheme》

It is said that the peach blossom has a strange poison in her body, and she is dizzy and wakes up, Chen Long and the Huang family are very worried, and the Wang family and a few maids take care of it without mentioning it. Chen Long and Huang Gai went to ask Na Langzhong, who only knew that this was a strange poison of the plants and trees in the mountains, but they didn't know the toxicology and there was no suitable antidote. Fortunately, the peach blossom poisoning is still shallow, and there is no worry about life. Chen Long thought to himself, there was no famous doctor in this Lingling, and he had to find the person who administered the poison before he could find the antidote.

As soon as he thought of this, his heart fell silent, thinking about the whole process of the incident, Chen Long fell into deep thought. The day before yesterday, he shot the Yellow Turban Pioneer, and today there was such an incident, and this assassination must be related to the Yellow Turban's fine work. Since the Yellow Turban wants to capture Lingling, but the siege loss is huge, it will inevitably lead to some assassination tricks to disintegrate Lingling's leadership from within. The Taishou Mansion and the General's Mansion must be heavily guarded, and it is not easy to get their hands on it, and it is not surprising that he was brilliant on the city tower that day, and put the assassination target on himself. Thinking about it, the mocking look on Xing Daorong's face that day flashed in his mind, and Long Chen couldn't help but gasp, if someone in the Lingling guards colluded with the Yellow Turban, then a few lives he had would not be enough. The Yellow Turban's meticulous work can be so wanton and reckless in Lingling, and it seems that this possibility cannot be ruled out.

Huang Gai was next to Long Chen, and when he saw him falling into deep thought as he walked, he dragged Long Chen into a teahouse and sat down. Chen Long picked up a cup of fragrant tea, stared at the crowd outside the door, and vaguely saw several big men of the Xiaoxiang Gang patrolling back and forth between the merchants, and asked Huang Gai casually: "Gongfu, who are these Xiaoxiang Gang?" ”

"It's all the dock boatmen, stevedores and porters who organized this Xiaoxiang Gang." Huang Gai took a sip of fragrant tea and continued: "Later, the freight business got better and better, and there were more and more water bandits and mountain bandits who robbed on the road, and many retired generals and retired soldiers were hired to form an escort team to be responsible for security work. Later, the Xiaoxiang Gang opened warehouses and shops in the city, gradually involved brothels and casinos, and hired many gangsters and homeless people in the city as thugs. ”

When Chen Long heard the word homeless, he thought that he had a little bit of a relationship with the Yellow Turban Army, and asked, "Then Yang Huai's gang leader, I don't know where it came from?" Huang Gai said: "Yang Huai was originally a volunteer in Quanling County, and after joining the army, he served as a soldier under Liu Min, and because of his good martial arts, he was promoted to the captain of 100 people. Later, I heard that he was drunk and making trouble in the city, and was captured and imprisoned by General Xing Daorong, who was in charge of public security, and was expelled from the army after being released from prison, so he joined the Xiaoxiang Gang. He was able to become a helper in a few years, and they all said that he had a backer above him. ”

Chen Long asked, "Which backer is it?" Huang Gai knew that Chen Long wanted to find some clues about the attack last night, and said in a low voice: "I don't know if this matter is true or not. It is said that Yang Huai was punished by Xing Daorong for making trouble when he was drunk, and it was a play between the two. ”

When Long Chen heard this, somehow, he remembered Xing Daorong's mocking smile again. Huang Gai continued: "The government has actually always wanted to control the golden waterways of Xiaoshui and Xiangshui, especially that Xing Daorong and Yang Huai were originally called brothers and sisters, and they went in and out of the wine shop and prostitution together all day long, and suddenly this happened, and Yang Huai successfully became the boss of the Xiaoxiang Gang, which caused many associations behind it. ”

Chen Long finally understood, nodded slightly, drank all the fragrant tea in his hand, and had made a decision in his heart, and said to Huang Gai: "Gongfu, don't you think there is a yellow turban in this city?" I want to investigate the Xiaoxiang Gang, or let the Xiaoxiang Gang help investigate, where do you think it's better to start? Huang Gai nodded, knowing that this matter needed manpower, and smiled: "It's easy to do." Although Gongfu is young, he has also been a county official in the city for a few years, so I will leave this matter to me. Chen Long nodded and stood up, and said, "Okay, then I'll go see General Liu Xian and wait for your good news." ”

When he arrived at Liu Xian's general's mansion, his family reported to him, and Liu Xian came out with an arm hanging up, obviously looking good. Liu first took Chen Long's hand, and the elder brother thanked him and invited him into the living room to serve tea. As soon as he sat down, Liu Xian said: "Wenlong, I'm sorry for you for my brother, I really didn't expect it to be like that to you yesterday。。。。。。 Chen Long laughed and said: "General Liu's words are serious, you are Liu Taishou's subordinate, how can you say so much, brother, I understand your intentions." Liu Xian was overjoyed, waved his uninjured hand and said loudly: "In the future, Wenlong will be my brother, and you are not allowed to call me General Liu in the future, just call me Brother Liu." Chen Long stood up respectfully and shouted, "Brother Liu! ”

Chen Long does have a good impression of Liu Xian, a general who has no arrogance, and Liu Xian is quite important to him, so he is also willing to be close. Speaking of his attack last night, Liu Xian's fine eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "There are fires all over the city outside the city, and the city is mixed. To say that this sneak attacker should be a good assassin in the Yellow Turban Army, who can sneak into the Yellow Mansion and escape quickly, this light skill alone is not simple. ”

After that, remembering something, he nodded and called a document, wrote a report on the attack on Chen Long, and said to Chen Long: "I can report this matter to my son Liu Xian first, and ask him to help investigate the details in the city, and by the way, you can prove your innocence in front of the Taishou." Chen Long nodded in agreement, secretly praised Liu Xian's carefulness, and said goodbye and went back to Huanggai Mansion to see the peach blossoms.

In the Anling Inn, in the guest room of the Yellow Turban Saintess Zhang Ning, Ma Yuanyi was dressed as a groom and was reporting the details of the night assassination of Chen Long last night to Zhang Ning. Speaking of Chen Long's foresight of danger, waving the needle, kicking and breaking the window lattice, and being intercepted by Chen Long in danger, Zhang Ning's good-looking long eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and his autumn-like eyes stared at the sunshine outside the window, and he didn't speak for a long time. This Chen Long has excellent martial arts, and his senses are so keen, the possibility of an assassination success is too small. According to the detailed report in the city, this Chen Long seems to be a partial general under Liu Xian, one of the four King Kongs, and Liu Xian has always been a staunch Han diehard, it seems that if you want to engage Chen Long, you must first engage Liu Xian. With an idea in his heart, he unfolded a piece of white silk cloth on the table in the guest room, and wrote a letter with a pen. folded the letter and handed it to Ma Yuanyi, and instructed: "Brother Ma, after working hard for you, hand over this letter to Li Le, and order him to do this, and do this." Ma Yuanyi took the order, and admired Zhang Ning in his heart, this saint was so resourceful, she didn't dare to provoke her.

In the evening, a person came from outside General Liu Xian's mansion, saying that he was a relative of Liu Xian's hometown and had come to take refuge. The servant reported in, Liu Xian was puzzled, and still asked people to lead the person to the living room for tea, and he didn't know him at first sight, and the man mysteriously asked to withdraw his subordinates, and then Shi Shiran took out a letter from his arms. The candlelight in the hall was dim, and the words on the letter were not very clear, Liu Xian was still a little short-sighted, hanging a right hand and was looking at it carefully with his face, and suddenly there was a burst of people shouting horses and neighing at the door of the house, and then there was a bang, the door of the house was pushed down by a huge force, Xing Daorong rushed in first, and drank: "I am too obedient to the order, Liu Xian fornicated with the yellow turban thief, and immediately tied up the palace to hear the trial." A group of soldiers forced Liu Xian's servants with knives, and the others swarmed into the living room, tied up Liu Xian and the visitor, and left. Poor Liu Xian was still hanging an arm, unable to resist, chaotic and unable to argue, was coerced by a few soldiers, and went to the mansion.

In the hall of the mansion, the lights were bright, Liu Du was sitting on the high platform in the middle, and his son Liu Xian was standing down. In the hall, Xing Daorong was spitting and telling that he found a person sneaking into the city, and then followed Liu Xian's mansion, and the whole process of the yellow scarf and Liu Xian's arrest on the spot, and then presented the letter. Liu Xian took it and handed it to his father, wanting to speak, Liu Du waved his hand, and Liu Xian hurriedly shut his mouth and stepped aside. Liu Du looked at the letter, which called Liu Xian a virtuous brother, and asked Liu Xian how to kidnap Liu Du, how to light the fire, how to dedicate the city gate, and seal Liu Xian as the Lingling Taishou after the matter was completed. Liu Du was furious in his heart, pretending to be forbearant on the surface, and said to Liu Xian and Yan Yuese: "General Liu, I ask myself how kind I am to you, why are you doing this unrighteous thing now?" Liu Xian shouted that he was wronged, claiming that he didn't know the person who came, Liu Xian said: "Father, General Liu Xian has always been loyal, and I don't know if it is the enemy's tricks." Liu Du ordered Liu Xian to be taken aside and continued to interrogate the person who delivered the letter. The person who sent the letter only said that he was a relative of Liu Xian at first, and was beaten by Xing Daorong, and there was a letter as evidence, so he could not deny it, so he admitted that he was a yellow turban worker, because Zhang Mancheng and Liu Xian had an old relationship, so he specially sent himself to agree with Liu Xian on the date of dedication to the city. After that, the person who sent the letter stared at Liu Du and said: "Liu Taishou, Fang Jin, my Yellow Turban is attacking the city and pulling out the village, expanding the territory for thousands of miles, and the power is all over the Yellow River and the Yangtze River basin. There are millions of soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army, thousands of generals, and it is a matter of sooner or later to capture Lingling, and nine out of ten counties and counties will fall, General Liu Xian is a person who knows the times, and since he can't hold it, why not surrender early? Liu Du was furious when he heard this, and ordered his subordinates to beat him, and the man was beaten and fainted. Xing Daorong asked someone to wake up with cold water and asked: "What other details are there in the city, confess quickly, and spare you from dying." The man gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, Xing Daorong only called people to beat him. The man couldn't resist it, and shouted to Liu Du: "I really don't know about the others, I only know that a few days ago, Sun Shuai sent a person with his family, disguised as a family visitor, and pretended to save the Huang family's mother on the way, and sneaked into the city." Liu Xian and Liu Xian on the side were shocked: "Long Chen!? ”

Liu Du glared at the two of them, and ordered Xing Daorong to detain Liu Xian and the messenger first, and said to Liu Xian: "Xian'er, you know that the surname Chen is indeed a fine work this time. You immediately take a team of people to the Huang Mansion to arrest Chen Long and interrogate him. Since the Huang family did not know, they could not be pursued for the time being. Liu Xian said: "Father, that day Sun Xia led the Yellow Turban Army here, Liu Xian and Chen Long fought with him to the death before they were able to return to the city, how could they be traitors, there must be fraud in this." Liu Du's cheeks twitched for a while: "Xian'er, I know that you are thirsty for talent, but do you know that Sun Xia made an appointment with them to make a show for us?" Otherwise, there were so many people in the Yellow Turban Army, how could the three of them come back alive? Liu Xian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Du waving his hand, and only said that he would catch it first.

Liu Xian was helpless, so he called one of his cronies at the door, and ordered so and so, the man nodded and got on the horse, and went like flying. Liu Xian picked up the people and slowly went straight to the Huang Mansion. On the way, I always felt that something was wrong, so Liu Xian has always been loyal, how could he suddenly be beaten as a traitor, thinking about the fact that Xing Daorong and Liu Xian were quite at odds on weekdays, which added to the doubts. But his father trusted General Xing, and his voice was limited, but Chen Long fought to the death with the Yellow Turban Army that day, he should be an innocent person, and his martial arts are strong, if this is the Yellow Turban treacherous plan, isn't it a self-inflicted general? If the Yellow Turban and the high-level generals of Lingling have colluded, then it is only a matter of time before Lingling falls, and it is chilling to think about it.

Peach Blossom's illness has recurred, and she has rested early. Chen Long was sitting with Huang Gai at home, drinking some stuffy wine, Huang Gai said: "Big brother, my subordinates have already made an appointment with a few good brothers in the Xiaoxiang Gang, all of whom are their own people, let them help monitor the movements of the Xiaoxiang Gang, and report the situation immediately." Chen Long was about to thank him, when suddenly the servant came to report, the son Liu Xian sent someone to visit, only to see a person coming in a hurry, Huang Gai recognized Liu Xian's cronies, and said: "Liu Dong, why are you here." Then Liu Dong slightly arched his hand, looked at no one on the left and right, and said in a low voice: "This Brother Chen's matter has been committed, and Gongzi asked me to inform Gongzi Chen to hide." Please come with me immediately, Brother Chen. Saying that, Liu Xian was arrested, and he briefly explained the matter of confessing to Chen Long, urging Chen Long to leave quickly. Chen Long said: "I'm leaving, what should the Huang family do?" Liu Dong said: "The Huang family is fine, the son will say Xiang, only say that you are afraid of crime and run away, otherwise you will be caught by General Xing, I am afraid that your life will not be guaranteed." Huang Gai said to Chen Long: "In this case, we will take care of the peach blossoms, and the eldest brother should avoid the limelight first." Chen Long thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, and said: "I am not a meticulous work, but this walk has really become a meticulous work?" Then Liu Dong hurriedly said: "I'm afraid you have no room for discrimination." Childe has his own arrangements, and he will definitely return your innocence. At this time, the sound of horses neighing sounded far away, and Liu Dong urged him to leave quickly, Chen Long pointed to his heart and said to Huang Gai: "Gongfu, the peach blossoms are all entrusted to you." Following Liu Dong hurriedly from the back door, there was a knocking sound in the front yard.

That Liu Dong took Chen Long to turn left and right, and finally entered the side door of a large mansion. Chen Long asked, "Where is this?" Liu Dong smiled slightly: "Only here is the safest place in the whole city, and no one will come here to search." This is Childe's Mansion. Chen Long said in his heart, this Liu Xian is really extraordinary, it seems that he recognizes that he is a good person, and he will not easily change his mind, and he is not wrong.

In the Anling Inn, Zhang Ning's extremely graceful figure was standing in front of the window, watching a team of government soldiers walk down the street. Looking at the frequently mobilized soldiers in Lingling City, Zhang Ning felt that this pot of troubled water had been stirred up by himself, and he was just fishing in troubled waters. This Nizi was slightly proud, and took off the veil casually, revealing a slightly immature but peerless face.
