In the woods, Ling Xia sat on the ground, leaning against a giant tree with his back, recalling Ling Baiyu's hysterical cry, his eyes were a little sad, now more than two hours have passed, before that, Ling Baiyu looked around the woods, but the woods were so big, Ling Xia had the heart to dodge, so Ling Baiyu did not find Ling Xia.

Seeing that Ling Baiyu's voice could no longer be heard at this time, Ling Xia guessed that she should have left, as long as she went to the imperial capital according to her instructions, when the time came, someone would definitely send her to the Praetorian Guard headquarters, since she could walk with the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, she would definitely be familiar with the Praetorian Guard, so as long as she returned to the Praetorian Guard, she would find home.

"Big brother, fortunately, Lord Futai's orders were timely, if we were one step late, we would let the brother and sister run away, this time, our brother is considered to have made a great contribution, hehe----- this little girl is not very old, and her martial arts are so high, if it weren't for the eldest brother with "cartilage scatter", we wouldn't be able to hold that girl. ”

Ling Xia had just wanted to get up, suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves at the entrance of the woods, and then, a rough voice came in, hearing the sound, Ling Xia stopped, hid beside the tree, and quietly observed towards the intersection.

Following the sound, I saw four or five big men in strong suits, leading the horses and standing in front of the woods to feed the horses, one of those horses was very familiar, it turned out to be the horse that Ling Baiyu rode away before, and looked at the horse, which was carrying the unconscious Ling Baiyu.

"Although this girl's martial arts are very high, but her head is not good, she shouts her brother on the side of the road, she doesn't look at people, and when she meets people, she asks if she sees her brother, I just take advantage of the time to talk to her, give her medicine.

Although the kid surnamed Ling escaped, we got this girl, did you see the letter on her? This girl turned out to be a member of the Praetorian Guard, hehe----- go back and report to the political envoy, and see how he rewards our brothers." ”

"Political envoy? Didn't the prefect arrange it? Why did you have anything to do with the political envoy again? ”

"I don't know, but I heard a few words from the Lord of Futai, the Lord of the Political Envoy seems to attach great importance to the Praetorian Guards who disappeared last night, it is said that the Lord of the Political Envoy came to the Yamen of Futai this time, just for the sake of those Janissaries, and sent us to the post station to find the brother and sister, in fact, it is also the meaning of the Lord of the Political Envoy."

"Speaking of the political envoy, I saw him yesterday, he was accompanied by four masters, according to the observation of the younger brother, those four should be the masters of the "Martial Arts League", in order to suppress the military forces, the civilian official group actually walked with the Martial Arts League, big brother, you said that this time the Yin soldiers borrowed the incident, will it be with the political envoy? ”

"Shut up, beware of the misfortune that comes out of your mouth." scolded and forbade the man to say the rest of the words, and then, the leading eldest brother checked Ling Baiyu and saw that she was still unconscious, so he led a few people back to Feifengling to report the situation.

Seeing that a few people had already ridden away, Ling Xia walked out from the tree, thinking back to the conversation they had just had, his face showed a trace of anxiety and worry, and after hesitating for a moment, Ling Xia returned in the direction of Feifengling.

……

"What, that girl surnamed Ling is a member of the Praetorian Guard? Are you sure? Slowly, what's going on? In the military tent, Wu Zhenshan asked anxiously.

At this time, in front of him stood a man dressed in the costume of a servant, this person with sharp ears and monkey gills, who was extremely shrewd at a glance, heard Wu Zhenshan's inquiry, and he told Wu Zhenshan the news he had heard:

"General Qiyu, after his subordinates mixed into the other party's camp, they have been waiting outside the account, just now, Su Jing'an sent someone to rob the little girl surnamed Ling, according to the man in charge of the robbery, this little girl has a letter on her.

The letter said that the little girl surnamed Ling was a member of the Imperial Capital Praetorian Guard, and if someone could send the girl back to the Praetorian Guard, she could get a reward of one hundred gold coins. ”

"Janissaries people? Feifengling? Don't? That girl is the Praetorian Guard who came here with the army? If that's the case, then she must know about the Yin Soldier's borrowing of the Dao. Analyzing this, Wu Zhenshan patted his thigh with a look of annoyance: "Damn, such an important person actually fell into the hands of that hypocrite of Su Jing'an, what should I do?" What am I going to do? ”

"There is still a turning point in this matter, why should the general be so flustered?" Just when Wu Zhenshan was anxious, Ling Xia's voice came from outside the military tent.

After the words fell, Ling Xia walked in from outside the account in a flash, and when he saw Ling Xia, he immediately got up and blocked in front of Wu Zhenshan, looking at Ling Xia with a look of jealousy: "There are so many people guarding outside, how did you get in?" ”

"There is a kind of kung fu called anti-tracking, I can teach it to you later." After speaking, Ling Xia looked at Wu Zhenshan opposite, hugged his fist at him, and then pleaded softly: "My sister was robbed by the political envoy opposite, please help me make the decision and take my sister back." ”

"You are very bold, you dare to break into my military tent alone, the young man is good." After complimenting him, Wu Zhenshan snorted coldly: "But why should I help you -----?" ”

"Because I know the truth about the Yin soldiers' borrowing of the Tao, this is very beneficial to your military forces, after you know the truth, you can attack the civilian official group accordingly, as long as you help me rescue my sister, I will tell you about the Yin soldiers' borrowing of the Tao."

Hearing that Ling Xia knew the truth about the Yin soldiers' borrowing, Wu Zhenshan showed a trace of shock, he subconsciously stood up, saw that Xizuo was still in the military tent, and casually rewarded Xiaozuo with ten silver coins, and then retreated to the outside of the account, after Xizuo left, Wu Zhenshan stared at Ling Xia: "Tell me everything you know." ”

In order to rescue Ling Baiyu, Ling Xia did not hide it, he told the truth about it one hundred and fifty ten, as for Ling Baiyu's identity, Ling Xia also told Wu Zhenshan the truth, she was not his own sister, but picked up from the bank of the stream south of Feifeng Mountain, after listening to Ling Xia's words, Wu Zhenshan's expression was suddenly shocked.

"What does this have to do with the Yin Soldiers' borrowing of the Dao?" Wu Zhenshan asked puzzled.

"Of course it's related." Seeing that Wu Zhenshan didn't understand, Ling Xia explained, "Do you remember the ground below Feifeng Ridge? The reason why the ground has become so hard is because Chong'an County ordered Yi Shirongjing Street to welcome Su Jing'an.

According to Pei Guozhong's report, two days ago, it was learned that Su Jing'an needed to pass by Feifengling, and Yi Shirong, the commander of Chong'an County, in order to welcome this political envoy, led three classes of messengers to come here to "clean the street" and repair the road in Feifengling.

Yi Shirong just finished cleaning Feifengling the day before yesterday, and the Praetorian Guards had an accident from Feifengling last night, so a few doubts rose in my heart, Su Jing'an traveled to Hedao Mansion, where did Yi Shirong get the news? Why did he only give Feifengling clean streets? How did he know that Su Jing'an would pass by Feifengling?

But things are so strange, Su Jing'an not only came, but also really came from the foot of Feifengling, but the problem is that when Su Jing'an passed by Feifengling, Yi Shirong did not appear, which is strange, since he has already cleaned the street, why didn't he go to greet him?

I checked the record book of the post station, Su Jing'an's trip was very low-key, only four people accompanied him, and there was no guard of honor arranged along the way, but such a secret whereabouts were still mastered by Yi Shirong, which can only be for two reasons, first, Su Jing'an told Yi Shirong's whereabouts, and second, Yi Shirong was monitoring Su Jing'an.

Yi Shirong, a small seven-rank county magistrate, how could he have the courage to spy on Su Jing'an? Therefore, I guess that Su Jing'an should have told Yi Shirong about his whereabouts, and his purpose in doing this should be related to the Yin Soldier's borrowing of the Dao.

Based on these suspicions, I came to a conclusion that this Yin soldier's borrowing was fake, it was a conspiracy set up by man, and Su Jing'an, as a member of the Imperial Court of the Second Rank, should not be difficult to find out about the Praetorian Guard.

He should have learned the whereabouts of the Praetorian Guard, and then chose to arrange this so-called Yin soldier in Feifengling, Feifengling belongs to Chong'an County, so Yi Shirong, who is the county commander, was naturally involved.

Since Yi Shirong took the trouble to arrange the road, I guess they should use the road under the col to do their own thing, I have carefully analyzed, although the horse's hooves cannot leave footprints from the ground, it is impossible that there are no horse manure and blood droplets, but the scene is so strange, nothing is left.

To be able to do this, I guess they must have spread the cloth and other items on the ground beforehand, and when they are done with their hands and feet, as long as they wrap up the cloth, there will be no traces left on the ground. ”

"Since Yi Shirong cleaned the street in advance, why do you have to do it many times?" Wu Zhenshan asked.

"Yi Shirong Jingjie is to make the ground harder, if he doesn't do this, then even if he lays cloth, there will still be hoof prints on the ground, and if you can see the horses' hoof prints left by the Praetorian Guards, you will naturally be able to see the traces left by your opponents.

In order to achieve the purpose of hiding themselves and confusing others, they can only choose this arrangement, the Praetorian Guards are all cavalry, and their mobility is very strong, even if they can't beat the other party, at least there should be no problem in escaping?

I wonder why none of the cavalry came out. As long as you turn the horse's head, you can escape in an instant, but no one escapes at the scene, which is very strange, I guess, either there is a mole in the Praetorian Guard? Or did the other party use some kind of method to control the war horses, so that all the war horses went on strike? ”

When it came to this detail, Ling Xia had a puzzled expression on his face, and muttered softly: "There are many skills in training animals in later generations, such as those lions, tigers, horses, dogs, and monkeys in the circus, all of which are trained by animal trainers to obey.

But in this era, it stands to reason that there should not be a circus, no matter how powerful the riding skills are, it is impossible to control thousands of horses at the same time. ”

When Ling Xia was muttering, Wu Zhenshan couldn't help but ask: "According to your analysis, Tuhu and they were attacked by gangsters, so tell me, after the other party attacked, where did they get those Praetorian Guards?"

1,000 cavalry, thousands of horses, this is not a small number, no matter where you go, it is very dazzling, after the incident, the yamen at all levels in the province are looking for it, but why have they not received any clues about suspicious people and horses so far? ”
