After the pedestrian led the guards out of the capital, he galloped on horseback, and he still received the report of the two commanders two days ago, but now he didn't know where these people were, so he had to follow their route to find out.

"My lord, what important errand are we going to do?" One of the guards asked.

Usually, pedestrians always explain what they do first, but this time they didn't reveal a word, just took people out of the city directly.

"You'll know when you get to the ground, don't ask now." The pedestrian said irritably.

The group continued on their way.

Two hundred miles in front of them, an official post station, a team of Jinyi guards were interrogating everyone in the post station, from the big and small leaders of the post station to the sweeping cooks and serving dishes, no one was spared, everyone's conversation was recorded on paper, and the commander Gong Jiye sighed: "It's still useless, it's all useless news, it's just rumors, and there is no eyewitness to find a single eyewitness." ”

"My lord, do you want to take them all back to be punished, I'm afraid they didn't tell the truth." A brocade guard thousand households.

The person who overheard this sentence sat on the ground with a thud and wailed: "My lord, no, we are telling the truth, not a single lie, we swear." ”

Gong Jiye reprimanded: "What do you have nothing to do to scare them, they are telling the truth, do you think I can't even tell the truth from a lie?" ”

The thousand households were reprimanded, so they had to walk away in a sneering manner.

At this time, there was a person coming down from the upper floor, and it was the leader of their group this time, Jinyiwei commanded Tongzhi Tang Sui.

"My lord, it's still the same as before, and I can't find any useful information." Gong Jiye stepped forward.

Tang Sui said irritably: "Then continue to investigate, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must also find useful things, otherwise you will not be able to go back and make a difference." ”

A hundred households said: "My lord, it would be easy to find out if you dig three feet into the ground, but unfortunately there is no one on the ground, let alone underground." What we want to check must be those top characters in the rivers and lakes, all of whom are at the level of stepping on snow without a trace, and will not leave any traces at all. How can I check this? ”

"Treading the snow without a trace, you tell me about myths, is there such a person, find one for me." Tang Sui was even more troubled, he was the team leader, and the success or failure of this mission had a lot to do with him.

"There really is, my subordinates have seen it with their own eyes. In addition, this attack was clearly an assassination, and these assassins were all alien-level visitors. That Baihu said.

"Extraterrestrial visitors? Brother, you've read too many mythological books. Tang Sui didn't bother to pay attention to him, if it weren't for the fact that this father of a hundred households had a bit of a background, he would have scolded him for being a dog.

"My lord, we've checked so many houses, and I think some of them are indeed the work of assassins, and these assassins seem to be from the same organization." Gong Jiye said.

"Master Gong, you won't be like that brother, right?" Tang Sui smiled bitterly.

"No, there really is such an organization, it is said that as long as they are willing to pay money, they can be hired to assassinate, these killer assassins are a bit like the Tang Dynasty rangers, the kind of red line thieves. It's true. Gong Jiye said.

"Even if it's true, so what, isn't it possible that we just use such an assassin organization that I heard about to go back to the Holy Lord?" Tang Sui's eyes narrowed.

Gong Jiye and others stared wide-eyed, the key is that the case cannot be closed in this way, and they have to continue to investigate.

"Brothers, work harder, it's not me forcing you, it's the emperor forcing us, you don't know yet, Lord Lu can't sit still in the capital today, he personally went out of the city to meet us. If we can't find out these things, we don't want to go back to the capital in this life. Tang Sui sneered.

"What, Lord Lu has been dispatched?"

"That's it, it seems that I was really forced by the emperor, otherwise Lord Lu wouldn't have come in person."

"Lord Tang, why does the emperor want us to investigate these things, it stands to reason that the most familiar with the situation at that time were those internal guards who followed Lord Huang Jin, but the emperor did not allow us to contact those people, so we had to start a new investigation and re-investigate. In addition, what are these things involved, we have to work hard to investigate it locally, we have dispatched half of the elite of Jinyiwei, and now Lord Lu is personally out again, this is too ......" Gong Jiye couldn't go on.

"I don't know what you're talking about, the will of the Holy One is to find out this, it's not that those Ouchi guards don't let us get in touch, but their situation has been recorded." Tang Sui said.

"On the record?"

"That's it, doesn't the emperor trust the Ouchi guards of the previous dynasty, so he asked us to investigate?"

These people talked about it one after another, once the son of heaven and a courtier, the people around the emperor were the most obvious, and they must all be replaced, especially the personal guards, none of the first dynasty was left, whether they were released into the field or where they were kept, and no one even knew if they were secretly executed.

Gong Jiye felt that something was wrong, if this was the case, they had entered a minefield, and they would be blown to pieces if they were not careful, they were Jinyiwei's people, of course they understood that it was best not to be involved in the secret royal incident, otherwise no matter whether the result was good or bad, they could be completely wiped out.

"My lord, what the hell are we involved in?"

Just now they scared the people here, and now they themselves are scared.

At this moment, a person outside shouted in panic: "Lord Tang, Lord Gong, come out and see." ”

Tang Sui and Gong Jiye were taken aback and hurriedly walked out.

"My lord, that side, that side, the beacon fire, is a beacon for help." The captain of the brocade guard who was shouting outside said hoarsely.

Tang Sui and Gong Jiye saw that there was indeed a beacon fire rising into the sky in the distance in front of them, and their colors changed when they all landed, Tang Sui shouted: "All the staff get on the horse and gallop to help immediately." One of our brothers has been attacked. ”

Soon, more than sixty people here were riding horses in a disorderly manner, regardless of the formation, and desperately rushed towards the place where the beacon fire started.

They rushed out for more than twenty miles, and it seemed that they were not far from the place where the beacon fire started, and at this time, someone shouted: "Lord Tang, there is another beacon fire." ”

Tang Sui's face turned pale, and at the same time, he felt a little frightened in his heart.

They went out of Beijing this time only to investigate, so they didn't bring many people, and each commander and Tongzhi brought a commander to bring a guard of 200 people, which added up to a lot.

Sometimes Jinyiwei only a few people go out on a mission, and they can go to other provinces to bring back the officials that the emperor wants to arrest back to the capital, and there has been no mistake.

These Jinyi guards who were responsible for arresting officials were called Ti Cai, and they were more hated characters at the time, especially officials, seeing Jin Yiwei's Ti Cai was like a mouse seeing a cat.

This time they have paid enough attention, because they want to investigate some major attacks, and it was the Ouchi guards led by Huang Jin who were attacked at that time, of course they didn't think of fighting against those attackers, but they just wanted to investigate the true story of the incident, and then find out the origin of the attackers.

"Stop moving." Tang Sui raised his right hand and shouted.

Without him shouting, the others saw another beacon fire burning again, and they all reined in their horses.

The two beacons were in two directions, and these people were hesitant, not knowing which side to help.

Gong Jiye said: "My lord, why don't we divide our troops into two places, and you and I will each bring one." ”

Tang Sui thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "No, be careful that this is a trap laid by the enemy, deliberately luring us to divide our troops, and then break them one by one, first go to rescue one side, and then work together to rescue the other direction." ”

When he said this, everyone else agreed.

Looking at the direction of the beacon, it should not be their group of people, but the men and horses of another commander, but their people will rush there immediately when they see the beacon, as long as they reach the place where the beacon fire is lit, they can meet.

This kind of beacon fire is still an imitation of fireworks, which lasts longer than fireworks, and will not be confused with ordinary fireworks.

For the time being, they couldn't think of what kind of attack those people would encounter, but since they sent an urgent call for help, it meant that the situation was so serious that it was in danger, who dared to be so bold and dare to attack the people of Jinyi Guard hundreds of miles outside the capital.

But thinking of this errand, everyone smiled bitterly in their hearts, those outlaws even dared to attack the Ouchi guards, and the people of the Jinyi Guard may be nothing in the eyes of those people.

Thinking like this, everyone's hearts became heavy again, and Tang Sui's sentence "If you don't complete the task, don't want to go back to the capital in this life" has become a proverb.

About half an hour later, these men rushed to a burnt inn, and when they saw the scene before them, they could not help but tremble, half angry and half frightened.

But when they saw that the corpses of the people in the brocade clothes were scattered, like slaughtered pigs and sheep, they did not look at these corpses more, but went around separately, and did not find a single living person.

However, they found that none of the people in the post station were found, and the dead were all Jinyiwei's people, about forty people.

"This is Niu Er."

"This is Mantis Wu."

"This is Li Qianhu."

Tang Sui's hands trembled a little, this is probably the first time in many years that a thousand-level Jinyi Wei official has been martyred, in fact, unless the Jinyi Wei people drank to death, or were punished for breaking the law, there were very few people who really died in their duties, but there were a thousand households at the scene, and the bodies of four hundred households were lying here, and there were more than ten officials of other general banners.

"Lord Tang, what kind of opponent did they encounter?" A hundred households asked in a trembling voice.

"I don't know, but don't those people really want to obstruct our investigation and start attacking us, right?" Tang Sui was also afraid, he had known this, and he should have invited a few internal guards.

"My lord, should we go to the rescue in another place?" Gong Jiye asked.

"If you don't go, it's probably the same situation if you go, so it's better to gather everyone here." Tang Sui was really panicked, he was afraid that he would rush to another place, and what he saw was still this kind of scene, but their physical strength would be exhausted, and if they encountered the enemy again, it was estimated that they would follow in the footsteps of these people on the ground.

Things are changing rapidly, but they are developing towards a bad peace of mind, which makes people feel cold.
