"It's been a month, why haven't you found the Ling Xia 100 team? Have they evaporated from the world? The middle-aged man asked with a gloomy face.

"It's been thirty days, and the battle guards who are in charge of the inventory at the entrance of the city still haven't found Ling Xia's 100-man team and Peng Lie?" Xia Yuanxiao's expression was a little solemn.

"For so long, why haven't the people who went to pick it up have found the Ling Xia Hundred Team? Where exactly are they? Nangong Xiongba's face was puzzled.

"Check, check every city, check every city, check every intersection, check every road, all the roads in and out of the imperial capital, there is one for me to check, all the people who enter and leave the imperial capital, there is one person for me to check, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out Ling Xia's 100-person team and Peng Lie." Three people with different purposes, gave the same order.

Liu Yinjiang, the city gate of Lucheng Province has just passed a wedding team, the battle guards at the entrance of the city did not even let go of the sedan chair, and even took off the bride's wedding cloth, but did not find any suspicious points, after the inspection was correct, the soldiers turned around and gave way.

At the gate of Lei Zejiang and Hebian Province, a funeral procession slowly came out of the city with paper money, and the battle guards in charge of the investigation at the intersection checked everyone's face, opened the coffin and examined it, compared the appearance of the deceased, and only released it after everything was normal.

Cailing Frontier, Chenmu Province, a group of bandits who appeared out of thin air carried out the integration of the surrounding forces, gathered nearly a thousand people, the leader led everyone to invade the territory of the territory next door, when the two groups of bandits fought, the leader and more than 100 of them quietly fled the battlefield.

After more than a month of rapid marching, Ling Xia racked his brains and used various methods, successively passing through the Howling Wind Frontier, Linlang Frontier, Magnificent Frontier, Liuyin Frontier, Lei Zejiang Frontier, Cailing Frontier, and now entered Wen'an Frontier.

"Captain, why do you have to come to Wen'anjiang? I remember you said before, we have to strive to enter the imperial capital in the shortest possible time, it is said that going straight from Cailing Xinjiang to Yunzheng Xinjiang is the closest road to the imperial capital, but now we have gone around Wen'an Xinjiang, so at least we have to march thousands of miles. Lao Cui looked at Ling Xia with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Ling Xia explained: "Lao Cui is right, if you go straight from Cailing Frontier to Yunxian Frontier, it is indeed the closest distance to the imperial capital, but everyone doesn't know that Yunraid Frontier and the three territories behind it are the territory of the military generals.

Let's move forward from that road, no matter how we put on makeup, we will definitely be discovered by the other party, instead of throwing ourselves into the net to enter those territories, we might as well go around to Wen'an Xinjiang, the lord of the frontier here is a civilian official, this person is very aggressive, and there is no war guard in the territory at all. ”

"These territories are still divided into territories?" It was the first time for everyone to hear the talk of territory, so they all looked at each other in amazement, their eyes looked incredulous, they thought that the territories were all the imperial court, but now they know that these territories are actually divided by forces.

When Ling Xia heard Yi Haojie talk about this topic for the first time, he was even more shocked than Lao Cui and the others, so when he saw their surprised and shocked expressions, Ling Xia was not surprised, but when he saw Peng Lie, he found that Peng Lie's eyes were as usual, and it seemed that he had already known about it.

"Come, Lao Peng, I should give you a needle." While speaking, Ling Xia walked up to Peng Lie, Peng Lie's face was swollen, his complexion was blue, as if he had changed a person, and his appearance had changed a lot from his previous appearance, even acquaintances couldn't recognize him.

It turned out that Ling Xia accidentally discovered that Peng Lie had a slight allergic reaction to painkillers, pressed the painkillers into powder, and then injected them into Peng Lie's face with a needle.

It was with this hand that when the soldiers of the War Guards who were in charge of the investigation along the way compared Peng Lie's portrait, no one found that the person standing in front of them was the Peng Lie they were looking for, and in this way, Ling Xia used this method to repeatedly conceal the investigation of the Battle Guards.

Wen Anjiang prevailed in the style of writing, this time, Ling Xia and they dressed up as scholars, while the five Luo brothers and some fierce-looking soldiers played the role of bodyguards, in order to avoid getting together and blinking, everyone chose to move separately, and the ten captains led their respective squads.

Not to mention, Ling Xia was wearing a white robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, and he really looked like a handsome scholar when he walked on the road.

"Big brother, tell you the truth, do you want to go to the military department or to go to the Praetorian Guard?" After speaking, Ling Xia looked at Peng Lie seriously: "If you want to go to the military department, I will hand you over to the people of the War Guards, if you want to go to the Praetorian Guards, I will hand you over to the people who came to pick you up, I saw several groups of Praetorian Guards on the way, and it is estimated that they are all here to meet you." ”

"If you want to trick me again, if you really plan to hand me over, you won't come to Wen'anjiang, since you bothered to come here, it means that you don't mean to hand me over." Peng Lie said angrily.

"You misunderstood me, I really didn't mean that." Pale and weak, Ling Xia scratched his head: "Then let's just say it, I really want to put some tone from your mouth, I want to know why the military department and the Praetorian Guard value you so much?" ”

"You really want to know?" Peng Lie glanced at Ling Xia with a smile: "I have to advise you, some things are still not known." ”

"But I don't know the answer, I'm so uncomfortable." Ling Xia said with a depressed face.

Looking at Ling Xia's aggrieved and uncomfortable expression, Peng Lie pondered for a moment, and then said lightly: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you, I am a member of the Military Flag Society, and the current military seems to be monolithic, but in fact, there are many hidden dangers inside, there are warlord forces, military giant forces, factional party forces, and civilian and spy forces."

It was in this context that the Military Flag Society came into being in order to monitor the internal members of the military generals' forces, discover excellent generals and combat units, and also to screen and eliminate members of other forces and prevent those people from destroying the imperial army's army from within.

All those who are qualified to join the Military Flag Club are all brave and loyal, dedicated to the country, brave and good at fighting, and outstanding in military ability. ”

Speaking of this, Peng Lie paused, pondered for a moment, he sighed, and then continued: "As for you asking me if I want to go to the military department or the Praetorian Guard? Truth be told, I don't want to go to either of these places.

Although the existence of the Military Flag Society is mysterious, the military giants should be aware of it, they not only want to hold the Military Flag Society in their own hands, but also worry that others will have mastered the Military Flag Society, so they all want to spy on the secrets of the Military Flag Society.

At the beginning, Wu Zhenshan asked me for help, saying that he received an order from the banner owner to ambush a group of Praetorian Guards and asked me to assist him.

But for Wu Zhenshan's sake, for the sake of my brother-in-law, I still helped him find a few horse trainers, and personally helped him tame a few wild beasts, and afterwards, I immediately left the scene and returned to the camp of the War Guards, ignoring his mission.

I thought that Wu Zhenshan would follow, but he didn't show up for a few days, and then I heard someone mention him, saying that he led his troops to ambush the battle guards and wanted to kidnap the royal princess, but was wounded by a mysterious master and captured.

Because it involved the kidnapping of members of the royal family, this move angered the imperial capital forbidden city, and the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and the military department suffered a major reshuffle, and the civilian group was also in trouble at this juncture, so he knew that Wu Zhenshan was imprisoned in the Three Law Division, but he did not dare to send someone to rescue him.

I thought that this matter would drag on slowly, but I didn't expect that the imperial capital actually found out about my existence and ordered me to be arrested, at this time, the military flag society will definitely not be able to sit still, worried that I will leak the secrets of the military flag society, so they must not let me enter the imperial capital. ”

"Oh, I see, since the Military Flag Society relies on the army to exist, the top level of the Ministry of War must know about its existence, I wonder if this organization was set up by the top level of the Ministry of War, and since the Army Flag Society will attack the Praetorian Guard, it means that the Praetorian Guard and the Military Flag Society are not all the way.

The Praetorian Guards are only loyal to the royal family, and the place where they hold Wu Zhenshan is the Three Law Divisions, and the place where they want us to send you is also the Three Law Divisions, and the Three Law Divisions are all independent of the existence of the Six Divisions, and they report directly to the emperor.

In other words, the reason why the military department and the Praetorian Guard had such a stalemate was not because they were afraid that the Praetorian Guard would catch something, but because they were worried that the Three Law Divisions would report the problem to the emperor after they tried it, and what they were afraid of was actually the emperor.

Think of the previous military flag would order an attack on the Praetorian Guard and kidnap the royal princess, right? The purpose of the Flag Club is to manipulate the entire army from the shadows? So as to achieve some kind of purpose? Yes, definitely.

Because in any case, the battle guards are all from the imperial court, except for the emperor, others cannot be mobilized, in order to control the army in disguise, the other party has established a military flag association from within the army, and the army will be controlled in their hands through the military flag society. ”

After listening to Ling Xia's analysis, Peng Lie showed a trace of shock, he joined the Military Flag Club just to make a contribution to the imperial court, but he didn't expect that he would almost be wiped out, and after carefully recalling what happened, his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.

Ling Xia was originally just idle and had nothing to do to chat with Peng Lie, but he didn't expect to inadvertently talk about such a secret, looking at Peng Lie's expression, Ling Xia's heart was also a little heavy, since he already knew that the military flag would have bad intentions, but how to prevent it?

Also, what should I do with Peng Lie in my hands? Ling Xia didn't want to put Peng Lie to death, he felt that keeping this person would be of great use to him.

But after all, Peng Lie participated in the conspiracy to attack the Battle Guards and kidnap the royal princess, if he was really sent to the imperial court, he would inevitably die, but Ling Xia didn't dare to let him go privately, facing these problems in front of him, Ling Xia was suddenly a little distressed.
