Nearly a month away from Beijing, Tang Ning arrived at the boundary of Wanzhou.

Ten days ago, Tang Ning should have arrived in Wanzhou, but because of the old beggar, their trip was dragged out for ten days.

In fact, only three days after leaving Beijing, Tang Ning regretted taking the old beggar out with him.

Not only did he not play his due role, but he became a drag on them.

In the past month, he and Chen Zhou have spent a third of their time looking for the old beggar, and he often disappears inexplicably, and appears inexplicably, without saying hello in advance.

The three of them encountered bandits on the road, he was the first to take the road and escape, Tang Ning took the trouble to solve the bandits by himself, and when he found him, it was already three days later.

The old guy is definitely venting his dissatisfaction with his actions, after all, he was pulled to Qiandi by Tang Ning's pleading and semi-threatening approach.

Chen Zhou stood at the gate of the city, looked left and right, and asked, "General, do you need me to find him?" ”

"Forget it." Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Anyway, we still have to stay in Wanzhou for a few days, and he will appear before leaving." ”

Wanzhou is already the southernmost state capital of Shannan West Road, which belongs to the junction of the former Liang State and Chen State, where hundreds of ethnic groups gather, and is an important hub connecting Qianzhong and Shannan Road.

When Tang Ning and Chen Zhou entered Wanzhou City, they obviously saw many passers-by who were dressed in distinctive clothes, obviously not Han Chinese.

The former Liang State was different from Chen Chu, Chen Chu was mostly Han Chinese, and the Liang State was multi-ethnic, and after the fall of the Liang State, these young people continued to live in Guizhou.

[Note: This book is an alternate world view, for the sake of national unity, and in order not to be 404, all the nationalities that appear in the following text are fictional, please do not substitute the real ......]

Wanzhou is located at the junction of Chen and Qianzhong, and the mountain people living in Qiandi will come out of the mountains every once in a while to exchange for the necessary materials for life, and it is not surprising to see them in Wanzhou City.

Tang Ning was ostensibly ordered by Emperor Chen to come here to investigate the chaos in Qiandi, but in fact, he came to find Su Mei.

Chen Guo didn't have much information about Qiandi, and Tang Ning was also confused, he didn't know where to start, he needed to stay in Wanzhou for a few days to collect the information and intelligence he needed.

The Wan Gu Sect used to be the state religion of the Liang Kingdom, and there were countless people in Qiandi who believed in this sect, and they must have known about the selection of saints by the Wan Gu Sect.

Tang Ning and Chen Zhou found an inn in the city, booked two rooms, and went downstairs.

He looked left and right and saw several strangely dressed men sitting in the corner of the store, whispering something.

Tang Ning walked over, sat down at the table next to them, and said, "Little Er, come to a pot of tea." ”

After Tang Ning sat down, his back to the men, but his attention was on them.

One of them took a sip of wine, looked at a companion, and said, "%#@! *……”

The other nodded and replied, "*¥#¥%......"

Tang Ning's expression was stunned, he could understand Su Shen and Chu Yu, but he couldn't hear what the person behind him was saying.

Many ethnic groups in Guizhou have their own languages, and Tang Ning could not understand a word of the language of these ethnic groups.

This time it was indeed his mistake, and it seems that if you want to get the news he wants, you need to start from other aspects.

Wanzhou has a special geographical location, located on the border of Chen, and there are naturally many secret spies arranged by the imperial court here.

The state city of Wanzhou City is located in Wanxian County, and according to the information obtained by Tang Ning in advance, the county lieutenant of Wanxian County is a secret spy planted here by the imperial court.

He has been rooted in Wanzhou for many years, so naturally he knows more about this place than Tang Ning.

……

Ruan Qiang is the county lieutenant of Wanxian County, and his position in the county government is only under the county order and the county magistrate, but in a place like Wanxian, even if it is a county magistrate, he has to be a man with his tail between his legs on weekdays, offending those local wealthy families in the city, and the county magistrate has no good fruit to eat.

Ruan Qiang was sitting in the county lieutenant's office, and before he finished drinking a cup of tea, an errand came to report, and the county magistrate asked him to go to the front hall to deal with a case.

Hearing the news, Ruan Qiang's heart sank.

Wang Xianling is a bastard of this turtle son, usually if there is anything good, he can't think of him, if there is anything unlucky, he will think of him as soon as possible.

This case was not handled by Wang County, but he was thrown to him, it must not be a good case.

Ruan Qiang looked at his henchman and asked, "What kind of case is it?" ”

The official looked back and said, "My lord, you can't take care of this case, this case involves the Liang family, and it's not good to have an accident......

Hearing the Liang family, Ruan Qiang chuckled in his heart.

He didn't even ask what the case was outside, so he waved his hand and said, "The official went back first, and if Wang Xianling asked, he would say that the official was unwell......

There is only one Liang family in Wanzhou City, the Liang family is one of the most wealthy families in Wanzhou City, and the local officials in Wanzhou also have to sell the Liang family a little face, not only that, but the history of Wanzhou Assassin also came out of the Liang family, in this Wanzhou, the Liang family is the emperor, who dares to offend?

When County Lieutenant Ruan walked out of the county office, a young man stood at the gate of the county office, looked at him, and asked, "I wonder if County Lieutenant Ruan is in the yamen?" ”

Ruan County Lieutenant thought of the case related to the Liang family, waved his hand, and said, "Not here." ”

With that, they left the county office quickly.

Tang Ning asked two officers in a row, and they both said that the county lieutenant of Wanxian County was not there, so he inquired about the other party's address and soon found a private house not far from the county office.

He stood at the door, knocked on the door, and it was a woman who glanced at Downing and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Tang Ning smiled and asked, "May I ask if County Lieutenant Ruan is here?" ”

As if seeing the extraordinary bearing of the young man outside, the woman looked at him and said, "Come in." ”

As soon as Tang Ning stepped into the courtyard, another person ran in from inside, looked at the woman, and said, "Why did you let outsiders in......

Tang Ning looked at the person he had seen at the yamen just now, and said suspiciously: "You are the county lieutenant of Ruan?" ”

"It's the official." County Lieutenant Ruan straightened up, glanced at him, and said: "This official doesn't know what case you are for, but the Liang family, not only you can't afford to provoke, but this official can't afford to provoke either, so this official advises you to give up as soon as possible......"

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "What Liang family?" ”

County Lieutenant Ruan was stunned for a moment and asked, "It's not because of the Liang family's case, what are you looking for this official for?" ”

Tang Ning glanced at him and said, "Red crisp hands, yellow vine wine." ”

Ruan County's body trembled, and he subconsciously said: "Two yellow orioles are singing green willows." ”

Downing continued: "In heaven, I wish to be a winged bird. ”

County Lieutenant Ruan's body was even more straight, and he immediately said: "When the disaster comes, they will fly separately." ”

"Although the old woman's strength is declining......"

"Shake Yueyang City!"

……

The woman looked at them and wondered, "What are you talking about?" ”

At this time, County Lieutenant Ruan's expression had changed a lot, and he stretched out his hand respectfully and said, "Please come inside." ”

He glanced at the woman and said, "Stay outside and don't let anyone in." ”

Tang Ning walked into the room, County Lieutenant Ruan closed the door, Tang Ning took out a token from his sleeve, and after County Lieutenant Ruan looked at it, he immediately bowed down and said respectfully: "Secret Spy Division Ruan Qiang, I have seen my lord." ”

"No need to be polite." Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "I came here to ask you about Qiandi." ”

"Your Excellency, just speak." Ruan County Lieutenant said: "The subordinates must know everything and say everything." ”

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Do you know where the Ten Thousand Gu Sect Altar is?" ”
