"Amazing, if it weren't for the official who saw it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there was such a smart person in the world, and the official admired it." When Su Jing'an heard this, his face showed a trace of shock and a hint of appreciation.

"It's ----- incredible." Wu Zhenshan looked at Ling Xia in a daze: "If I hadn't seen the process of your investigation, I would have suspected that you were in a gang with the murderer, fortunately you are not the murderer, otherwise it would be too terrible." ”

"Brother is amazing, yes, yes, yes, brother is awesome." Although Ling Baiyu couldn't understand what Ling Xia said, she was also happy when she saw that Su Jing'an and Wu Zhenshan were praising Ling Xia, and she jumped up and applauded, the smile on her face was both bright and adoring.

"Little brother, after this case is over, this official is willing to recommend you to join the government, if you agree, Yi Shirong's Qipin County Order can be filled by you, how about it? This is a real seven-grade civil official. The general new champion is just a seven-grade vacant position, and the official cherishes your talent, and I hope you will consider it carefully. Su Jing'an looked at Ling Xia with admiration.

After the promise, Su Jing'an sighed with a headache: "This Feifengling is the junction of the two frontiers, although it belongs to Chong'an County, but it is close to the "Magnificent Frontier", and the forty miles to the north is the boundary of Jingzhao County, then Jingzhao County is the territory of Rosewood Frontier, if the Yin soldiers borrow the road from there, how good it is, why did they run to this Feifengling to borrow the road?" Alas......"

"Yes, yes, those Yin soldiers are too ignorant, they don't look at the place when they borrow the road, they borrow the road and leave, but the adults are worried about fatigue from here, I see it in my eyes, it hurts in my heart." Seeing Su Jing'an sighing for the sake of the case, Ling Xia hurriedly flattered a few words.

In fact, it was not only Su Jing'an, but Wu Zhenshan also had a love for Ling Xia, and when he saw Su Jing'an taking the lead and threw an olive branch to Ling Xia, he couldn't hold his breath: "Little brother, what do you say is good about being a civil official?" I don't like those people in the civil official group who are planning to dominate the court all day long.

Today's court coexists with civil and military, not only civil officials can rejuvenate the country, soldiers can also reimburse the court, your kid's head is good, his brain is smart and flexible, I heard that martial arts are not bad, so let's do it with me from now on, didn't he promise you a seven-grade county order, I will give you a six-grade military position, and you will go to the patrol station as the director. ”

Hearing Wu Zhenshan's words, Su Jing'an showed a trace of disdain: "Saying that our civil official group has been planning to dominate the imperial court all day long, hmph------ can your military generals be so good there?" Don't you also think about controlling the court all day long? If it weren't for the Prime Minister, the Lord of the Towns would have led you to force the palace a long time ago. ”

"Civilian-bureaucratic clique? Commander power? Prime minister? Zhen Guogong? Still forced to the palace? Where is this? From the words of these two people, it can be heard that the imperial court seems to be divided into two factions: civil and military generals, the civilian group is headed by the prime minister, and the military generals are headed by Zhenguo Gong, and these two forces are incompatible with each other in order to compete for the right to speak in the DPRK and China.

From the moment they met just now, Wu Zhenshan competed with Su Jing'an, seeing that the two of them were starting to compete again, Ling Xia had a headache, to be honest, he was not interested in the so-called civil officials and generals at all.

He neither likes to be an official nor a soldier, because Ling Xia is tired of it, he wants to do business, earn a little money, buy a small villa, and then marry three wives and four concubines, and live that kind of chic and happy life.

I want to think about it, but now he is poor and white, and he hasn't overcome the difficulties in front of him, how dare he think about those beautiful things, seeing that the two of them are arguing more and more, Ling Xia hurriedly stood in the middle to persuade him, and seeing that the persuasion had no effect for a long time, he could only change his strategy and deliberately change the topic: "Two adults, I found an important clue, do you want to listen?" ”

"What's the important lead?" Sure enough, Ling Xia's words worked, and hearing that Ling Xia had found an important clue, the two gave up the dispute and focused on Ling Xia at the same time.

Seeing that the two of them finally stopped arguing, Ling Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief, he walked to a horseshoe print, squatted down, pointed to the mark on the ground and said: "Two adults, please come and take a look, these military horses have horseshoes on their hooves. Ordinary horseshoes are in the shape of a "half-crescent" and do not have any imprints.

But among these horseshoe prints, there are two horseshoe prints with different marks, please look at this hoof print, the hoof print of the horseshoe on the left has a "forbidden" word, and the hoof print on the right has a "peony flower" pattern printed on it. This shows that in the team that disappeared last night, there are two different war horses. ”

Analyzing this, Ling Xia stood up: "General Wu, you are a professional soldier, may I ask, in the army, what kind of military horses will use horseshoes with special words printed on them?" Also, do you recognize the traces of these two horseshoes? ”

"In the army, only a good horse at the level of a thousand miles will use a special horseshoe, because a thousand miles of treasure horses are hard to find, so only generals above the sixth rank are qualified to control this kind of treasure horse, but there is an exception in one army, that is, the Imperial Capital Guard.

The Imperial Capital Praetorian Guard is different from our war guards, they are responsible for maintaining the safety of the Imperial Capital Forbidden City, so the Praetorian Guard is not only well-equipped, but also has a higher level of preparation and treatment than us.

The imprint on the ground with the word "forbidden" means that the owner of the mount is a Praetorian Guard, and that person may be a commander or a higher-level general, as for the peony flower pattern, it is the national flower, and only people in the forbidden city can use it. ”

After answering Ling Xia's question, Wu Zhenshan looked at Ling Xia with an incredulous expression, he seemed to be shocked, shocked that Ling Xia had analyzed so many questions based on some scattered horseshoe prints.

After staring at Ling Xia for a moment, he turned his gaze to the ground, staring at the two horseshoe prints with special traces, looking at the forbidden word mark and the peony flower mark, Wu Zhenshan's eyes showed a trace of thought.

"Ling Xia, can you find those missing soldiers?" When he asked this, Su Jing'an's expression was a little complicated and a little ------ nervous.

Sensing the strangeness in Su Jing'an's expression, Ling Xia's heart moved slightly, and he replied quietly on his face: "I have to know who disappeared last night and why they appeared here, otherwise, I have no way to inquire at all." ”

"This?" Su Jing'an showed a hint of hesitation, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "This official can only tell you that it was a thousand cavalry of the Praetorian Guard who disappeared last night, and the military commander who led the team was Tu Hu, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, as for why they appeared here?" Because the stakes are high, I can't tell you. ”

After Wu Zhenshan heard this, his face showed a trace of disdain: "What can't be said, isn't it just ......?"

Seeing that Wu Zhenshan wanted to continue, Su Jing'an let out a loud sigh: "Wu Zhenshan, you are bold, have you forgotten who is involved in this matter?" ”

"Ugh!"

Being reminded by Su Jing'an like this, Wu Zhenshan suddenly came back to his senses and was stunned, and then he kept silent and stopped mentioning anything about the forbidden army, as if there was some taboo.

Seeing the expressions of the two in his eyes, Ling Xia secretly became suspicious in his heart, and he re-summarized the clues that he knew so far and the information he had just heard, and integrated five new clues:

One: Last night there were a thousand cavalry of the Imperial Capital Praetorian Guard carrying some kind of mission. Secretly enter Chong'an County.

Two: After those cavalry passed through Feifengling, they encountered the Yin soldiers borrowing the way, and then they all disappeared inexplicably.

Three: Ling Baiyu's sudden appearance is related to the army that disappeared last night, and she is likely to be from the Forbidden City.

Four: The task carried out by the Praetorian Guard involved a certain big person, and even court officials like Su Jing'an and Wu Zhenshan were jealous.

Five: Feifengling is a dividing line, belonging to the junction of the two Xinjiang, the south side of the thirty miles is Chong'an County, the north side of the forty miles is the Jingzhao County, and Jingzhao County is the territory of the "Magnificent Xinjiang".

These five seemingly unrelated clues all point to a mysterious event, that is, the Yin soldiers borrowed the way, and a Yin soldier borrowed the way to attract two court officials to the scene in person, which must involve some kind of secret, so what kind of secret could it be?

Recalling the nervousness in Su Jing'an's eyes, the attention in Wu Zhenshan's eyes, the missing deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, Tu Hu, and the crazy and stupid Ling Baiyu, Ling Xia's heart suddenly moved, these people are all the kind of people with high power and transcendent status, and they are involved in the whirlpool of these people, can they finally get out of the way?

If he helped those people find out the truth of the matter, but the truth of the matter involved some forces or some kind of big people, would Su Jing'an choose to kill people in order to keep the secret? The things of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge have happened more than once in history, and I can't repeat the mistakes of the past.

With this thought, Ling Xia secretly pondered how to leave a way back.

At this moment, Su Jing'an suddenly stood up and asked: "Little friend Lingxia, just now you have analyzed so many things, which has relieved the official of many doubts, and the official is really impressed by the eye-opening, but there is one thing you haven't explained yet.

Why is the ground in the col so hard? Does this have anything to do with that Yin soldier's borrowing of the Tao? This official wants to know what is going on with the so-called Yin Soldier borrowing the way? General Tu Hu, are they dead or alive now? ”

"If the Yin Soldiers' borrowing is real, and General Tu Hu and his party did encounter the Yin Soldiers, then they must have been taken to the Netherworld by the Yin Soldiers." After finishing speaking, Ling Xia paused, and then said: "But if the so-called Yin soldiers borrowed the way are artificially arranged, then General Tuhu and the others may still be alive." ”

"Doesn't that mean you're talking in vain?" Muttered impatiently, Wu Zhenshan's expression was a little worried: "If it weren't for the Yin Soldier who borrowed the way, how could so many people disappear all at once?" Except for the ghost soldiers and ghost generals in the underworld, who can wipe out a thousand Praetorian Guard cavalry? ”

"This ......"

Su Jing'an pondered for a moment, and then whispered thoughtfully: "This matter is indeed weird, could it be that all this is really done by the ghost soldiers of the underworld?" ”
