Chapter 69: The First Glimpse

"Miss, something happened." Lu Wan has always been cold, and it is rare to see her so frightened. "Miss, I just received a secret letter, Yangcheng, Liangcheng and Guangling, there are missing people again."

After the last time there was a missing person, Nangong Shuihua suspected that it was related to Nan Cang, and deliberately paid attention to it, so this time the news was transmitted quickly.

In order to find out the truth, Murong Changfeng even went to Yangcheng in person.

A country cannot be without a king for a day, and the three armies cannot be without a commander for a day. After Ruoxi reconciled, Murong Changfeng took over as the commander of the Red Flame Army, and Qin Jingyuan was transferred to the Red Flame Army as the deputy commander. And Yuan Hao was promoted to the commander of the new army. These two boys, worthy of being brought out by Ruoxi himself, matured overnight, and they had a bit of their shadow back then. Especially Jing Yuan, Changfeng deliberately cultivated him and deliberately transferred him to his command for training. The Red Flame Army is the strongest team in the Liguo, and the people who lead them have always been the strongest people in the Liguo, before it was Yun Si, then Ruoxi, and now it is Changfeng, which one is not the most famous in battle? But now, a milky hairy boy suddenly appeared, which of these soldiers can serve?

didn't think that the person who was holding his breath to give Qin Jingyuan a horse was convincing in just three days.

The Red Flame Army has always admired the strong. Speaking with strength is always king.

Changfeng also relieved himself to hand over the Red Flame Army to Qin Jingyuan to take care of.

"Master, there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal in Yangcheng." In order to avoid startling the snakes, Changfeng only brought one guard to come here secretly. After staying in Yangcheng for a few days, the two found nothing. "Do you want to go to the government office?" Maybe it's just ordinary people missing, it's because they're thinking too much.

If it is one or two households, it may be a coincidence, and now nearly 600 people have disappeared in the three cities combined. Most of them are young adults. Yangcheng is located on the border, heavily defended, and there is no threat of bandits, so there must be something strange about this matter.

"Wei Jiu, you go and check the list of all the missing people in Yangcheng."

There are no clues, only the common denominator of these missing persons.

Wei Jiu's movements were very fast, but in just one afternoon, he sent the list, address, family background and other information of more than 240 people to Changfeng.

I don't know how long I watched it, but I just knew that it was dark and bright outside, and the sun was setting and rising.

"Wei Jiu, come out for a walk with me." These people are all ordinary farmers, and their addresses are extremely scattered, and they have nothing in common.

The streets of Yangcheng are still far from the bustling streets of Kyoto. Especially the painful experience of having just experienced a big war and falling into the hands of the enemy still makes people feel uneasy.

Well?

Changfeng originally wanted to come out to see if he could happen to encounter some clues. At first, I walked a few streets and didn't notice it, but gradually, Changfeng realized that something was wrong.

"Master, what's wrong?" Wei Jiu followed behind Changfeng, seeing that his pace was getting faster and faster, and asked.

"Strange, so weird." The battle in which Nancang broke through Yangcheng was so tragic. Li Wuxu and other generals died in battle and died in martyrdom. The people of Yangcheng, all the people are soldiers, go into battle to kill the enemy and protect their homeland. How many people died in this battle, and how many families were separated and their families were broken up in this battle. It stands to reason that after the great war, there will be victims. What's more, it was such a tragic battle. "Do you see that there is a disaster victim in this Yang City?"

Wei Jiu only felt that his cold sweat came down as soon as he brushed it. He followed Murong Changfeng and learned a lot, and he could figure out the reason. However, this result was too terrible for him to imagine.

"Let's go, go to the government." Now I don't care if I will startle the snake, if it is really as Changfeng expected, then the number of missing people is far more than more than 100 people, and behind this matter, there must be a huge conspiracy.

The Red Flame Army's waist card is the best pass, at least in Yangcheng. Changfeng was greeted respectfully with almost no energy.

"Lord Tian, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting."

"See General Murong, dare to ask the general who is here, what is his business?" Looking at the appearance of the two, it should be due to a private trip, not a business trip.

"The prince's secret order is here, and I also ask Lord Tian to make it convenient."

This prince's seal was given to them by Shui Hua personally before they left Beijing. said that they should let go and check, there is no need to have any worries, everything in Kyoto is borne by him.

A small seal, but it symbolizes the supreme trust of the future Ninety-Five Supreme in him. Changfeng suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Ruoxi before.

"Changfeng, indeed, you're right. He has the same fault that almost all emperors have - suspiciousness. However, he also has one of the greatest strengths – once he decides to trust you, it is to trust you through and through. He will give you all the shade that a Ninety-Five Supreme can give you. ”

"It can be seen from the Luoxue Pavilion that he has the world and the people in his heart, and he is a Ming Jun worthy of allegiance."

The seal is in the hand, heavy, real to the touch, if what Xi said is right, once trusted, this trust is wholeheartedly.

"Yes, yes, dare to ask the general, what are your orders?" This is the seal of the prince, where does Tian Taishou dare to slacken.

"I want the people of Yangcheng before and after the war, and within one day, check the real number of missing people in Yangcheng." People who came from the army have always been clean and neat, and there is no nonsense. Changfeng suspected that Yangcheng was not without people who had been displaced by the war and had a difficult life, but that these people were all missing. Because there is no family, no one goes to the government to report the crime.

The amount of work is not small, and Changfeng has to be urgent, and the entire government office, from the Taishou to the government servant, all those who are literate are all on it. Those who were illiterate also moved and went door-to-door to check. All of a sudden, there was the sound of paper turning in the lobby.

"General, here's the full list of personnel." Tian Taishou handed the list to Changfeng. The number of people on this list far exceeds the number of people who have received the report. With so many people, it is definitely not a simple disappearance, the situation is serious, and even Tian Taishou's face is extremely solemn.

"Wei Jiu, send a letter back to Beijing, inform the emperor, and ask him to send credible people to the cities on the southwest border to verify." All of them happened after Nancang attacked the city, combined with Nancang's abnormal behavior of suddenly withdrawing troops after Nancang's fierce attack, Changfeng is almost certain that even if this matter is not Nancang's doing, it is absolutely inseparable from Nancang. It's just that how did they take people out of the territory of Liguo when Yangcheng was heavily guarded? And what is the intention?

With so many people, the target is too big, and it is not easy to transfer all of them to Nancang, so near Yangcheng, there must be a secret stronghold, and this stronghold should not be far from Yangcheng, Liangcheng and Guangling.

Ruoxi, who was far away in Changping, thought of going with Changfeng.

"Let the caravan keep an eye on the situation at the border. In addition...... "Ruoxi whispered to Lu Wan, thinking that there was already a countermeasure."

The eyes fell on the payment. The secret letter was sent seven days ago, and according to the letter, the new batch of people should have disappeared a month ago. Ruoxi suddenly thought that a month ago, Leng Guyin left the mansion and came back for seven days. According to the calculation of the foot, seven days is just enough for him to make a trip.

Ruoxi could feel that she was getting closer and closer to the truth. At the same time, the situation in Changping is becoming more and more tense.

"The county lord is here for tea again?" It just didn't happen to be good, the king of Nanyang happened to block Ruoxi's way. "The county lord seems to be in and out of Tianshui Pavilion today, it seems to be a little frequent."

Ignoring Shangguan Jinglin's meaningful gaze, Ruo Xi smiled and said calmly, "Tianshui Pavilion has recently got a batch of new tea, the tea leaves are green and tight, the tea is clear and unmixed, and the tea is mellow and rich, so you can try it when you have time." ”

King Nanyang smiled, "Unexpectedly, the county lord is also an elegant person. ”

The king of Nanyang hides a knife in his smile, and every word is a trap. When I was in Liguo, I didn't know much about the soft knives in the officialdom, and today, Ruoxi is also able to deal with it easily, "I couldn't help myself in the past, but now it's different, it's time to enjoy it." ”

"This king happens to be free today, can the county lord appreciate his face and have another drink with this king?" King Nanyang made a gesture of please, as if he was sure that Ruoxi would definitely agree.

"County Lord." This Nanyang King is obviously smiling and hiding a knife, uneasy and kind, if Ruoxi goes up with him, maybe something bad will happen.

Give Lu Wan a reassuring look and motioned for her to wait downstairs.

"County Lord, please. It is indeed a good tea, and it can enter the eyes of the county lord, and it is really a good thing. The king of Nanyang changed his words and said: "The county lord can know that the caravans of the two countries have had some problems recently. ”

Ruoxi's hand held the tea steadily, and there was not even half a point of fluctuation, "I'm in charge, but it's just a name." The matter of business is decided by the kings of the two countries, how can I know about these things? ”

"I heard that someone in the caravan tried to break into Nancang's military stronghold and was stabbed to death on the spot." When Jing Lin said this, he secretly observed Ruoxi's reaction. Who knew that the latter looked calm and did not react at all.

"Lord Wang, Ruoxi is just a deep lady now, don't talk to me about these things."

What kind of military land, people are dead, what the truth is, it's not their business. Previously, Ruo Xi secretly ordered the caravan to pay attention to the border affairs, thinking that they had discovered something, and before they could report it, they lost their lives.

"I'm different from General Dao, but our goals may be the same." Ruoxi was still thinking about Shangguan Jinglin's words just now. He had been emphasizing her military position, not the title of county lord. What does this Shangguan Jinglin want to do? Did you deliberately lure her to show her feet?

"Miss, Jing Jiu Su Ye or not, Shangguan Jinglin has already begun to suspect Tianshui Pavilion." Ruoxi saw it, but even if they suspected Tianshui Pavilion's head, they couldn't find Fengqi Pavilion. When designing the basement darkroom, the hidden problem was considered. To be precise, they should have dug a dark room under the next door of Tianshui Pavilion. Unless the Tianshui Pavilion is turned over, the bottom is solid, and from above, it can't be seen at all.

"No, they can't find out." Now Ruoxi is more concerned about another thing that Shangguan Jinglin said. "Lu Wan, ask Jing Jiu, what is the situation of the caravan." Shangguan Jinglin's words can't be fully believed. It would have been fine if the caravan had died. Ruoxi was worried that these people were just arrested. When the time comes, let them ask something, and their lurking will fail.

She told her again and again, but she didn't want to make a mistake.

"Miss, it's been confirmed, and no one survives." This news was unexpected. What did they see, so that Nancang didn't leave a single mouth alive, so as to prevent future troubles?

It's already the fifth watch. Ruoxi was still staring at the map and thinking about the caravan's route.
