Three days have passed, and the county office's search for the brocade thieves is still ongoing, probably because the news has leaked, and those escaped brocade thieves heard the wind and were prepared, and the progress of the search and arrest work became extremely slow.

In the three days after he first ordered the pursuit of the brocade thieves, Fu Quan found seven waves of brocade thieves, and in the three days after Gan Ning assumed the identity of "Wang Yue", he only found four waves of thieves, and Huang Zhong only found two waves of thieves in three days, although in this way, more than half of the brocade thieves were hunted down, but the effect of the arrest was poor, and the thief Gan Ning was not caught, which could not make Fu Quan happy.

On this day, a news came to Fuquan stunned, there are several inns in several counties near Tong County, and they have recently received a guest named "Wang Yue", whose size and figure look similar to the information provided by the government about Gan Ning's size and figure. It's just that this "Wang Yue" is a young man with a long beard at the corners of his mouth and under his chin, who looks like he has reached the crown, and he also carries a beautiful concubine beside him, not like the brocade thief who is "famous in the state and county".

When he first heard the news, he didn't know if it was Fu Quan who was stunned, when he informed the accompanying subordinates of the martial arts, everyone didn't know what was wrong, could it be that their guess was in the wrong direction, this "Wang Yue" was not the thief leader Gan Ning, but the real "Wang Yue"? The two just happened to have the same name and surname, and this "Wang Yue" came to settle down with the concubines in the family, just like Gan Ning, the leader of several brocade thieves who may go alone, he was not disguised by Gan Ning himself.

After greeting everyone under his command to discuss fruitlessly, with the insistence of "I'd rather catch 10,000 wrong than lose one", Fuquan still speculated on the forward route of this "Wang Yue" according to the location of these inns. Judging from the map, "Wang Yue" seems to be from Fuling County to the northwest to Pingdu County, and in the southwest into Tongxian County, but at this time, this "Wang Yue" is walking in Tongxian County, scurrying around, like wandering around without purpose, the behavior is a little weird, and people are also a little suspicious, after all, in the snowy weather in winter, who will always wander around for no reason?

From Linjiang County to Ba County Zhijiangzhou County, take the road of Tong County, if you go along the river, you will definitely pass through Pingdu County, and Fuquan will also pass through this place when pursuing on this road. And looking at the time of this "Wang Yue" passing through Pingdu County, it happened to be after Fuquan led people to arrest the thieves in brocade clothes along the road, and now Fuquan is wandering around Tongxian County, and "Wang Yue" is also not moving, as if he has been following Fuquan, Fuquan goes, he goes, Fuquan does not move, he takes his concubine to wander, and it is unspeakable that makes people feel suspicious.

It seems that we have to meet with this "Wang Yue" for a while. Fu Quan thought so in his heart, and the final result was the same, once there was a suspicion that Fu Quan was absolutely unambiguous, he immediately ordered Du Kang to integrate two hundred soldiers and go to see this "Wang Yue" who was playing with beauty.

After a short pause in the winter wind and snow, it suddenly came again, and when Fuquan rushed to Fanyang Township, Tongxian County, the sky began to snow heavily. The snow fell all night, and it didn't stop until the next morning, but it was a little smaller, but fortunately it was a good luck to come yesterday, otherwise he would have been offended by taking a day to this Fanyang Township.

Early in the morning, Fuquan had no intention of sleeping, got up early, and did not go out, after simply tidying up by himself, he played a set of five poultry plays in the guest house in Fanyang Township. Then after a simple meal of breakfast prepared by the inn, he took people to Fanyang Township to guard. According to the analysis of the itinerary of "Wang Yue" according to the information obtained, he should walk from the official road today, passing by Fanyang Township, which may be leisurely, of course, it may also be other things.

At this time, the snow finally stopped, standing in front of Fanyang Township and looking into the distance, the official roads and fields were covered with snow, and the distant Liju was also dyed white, and the trees were draped with snow in the distance, such as Qiongzhi and jade leaves, which could fall at any time. I heard the north wind whistling through the fields, bringing a chilling wind, which was really a cold scene.

I don't know how long later, a carriage came in front of him, from far to near, the first to drive the horse was dressed in a robe, with a hat, slowly driving the horse, looking at the hat on his body, there seemed to be a layer of snow that was not thin, obviously he had driven a lot of way.

Looking at the man who drove the horse with a long knife on his waist, if others saw this, they would only use it as a self-defense for the person who was driving, and there would be no abnormality, but Fuquan would not. After all, he has been on the battlefield, so he naturally knows the difference between a person who holds a knife to defend himself and a person who fights with a knife.

There is a saying in later generations called "Confucianism is chaotic law, chivalry is forbidden by martial arts", literati needless to say, when they take power, the law is formulated by them, how to make the law of course to their own interests, and the warriors, if it is a military general, this is easy to say, but if it is the kind of spirit of chivalry, wandering all day long, drawing a sword without a word, and thus staining human life on the hand, the murderous spirit is naturally formed, obviously, the person who drives the horse has this breath on his body.

To put it simply, what the man who drove the horse revealed was not a sense of vigilance with a knife to defend himself, but a killing aura of killing with a knife, and the knife in his hand was not used for self-defense, but for drinking blood.

"Prince, how do you treat this person?"

Du Kang walked to Fu Quan's side and asked cautiously, after joining the Han army for a long time, the more he felt the strict class system of the Han Dynasty. However, in addition to the initial discomfort and rejection, he slowly fell in love with this system, no reason, he longed to get ahead, longed for glory and wealth, and longed for a life of power.

Now in the Han army, as long as Du Kang makes meritorious contributions with Fuquan, these things are within reach, and he can also rely on his military merits to worship the prime minister in the Han Dynasty, and even become a local official, which does not conflict with his original intention of rebellion before. Why did he oppose the Han Dynasty so much in the Banyu barbarians before, didn't he want to seize the power of the Banyu barbarians and unify Bajun and even Yizhou?

Now with this opportunity, of course, Du Kang actively integrated into the Han army, and like other banyu barbarians, he was slowly brainwashed by the preferential treatment policy of the Han Dynasty and became a diehard loyalist of the Han Dynasty. This unexpected result surprised Fuquan, who first discovered the changes in Dukang, and secretly said that the preferential treatment of ethnic policy brainwashing is really good, but it is not the same in later generations, and the preferential treatment of ethnic minorities in policy makes most ethnic minorities "deeply patriotic". And not only them, many of the original Han people did not recognize the "ancestors" for the sake of the policy, Fu Quan remembered that he heard in his previous life, an ethnic minority autonomous county, because of the college entrance examination, half of the Han nationality in the class changed to ethnic minorities, I have to sigh that this policy brainwashing is powerful, after all, there are interests, who cares about the rest, would rather accept this brainwashing and give up everything.

In fact, at this point, when Du Kang was usurped in history, countless people who were deeply affected by Han En were so similar, when Emperor Ling was deeply ashamed of the Ban Yu barbarians, he reduced the taxes of the Ban Yu barbarians, and selected good officials to govern the place, the Ban Yu barbarians were very grateful for the kindness of the Han family, until the Eastern Han Dynasty was usurped, these Ban Yu barbarians did not want the Han Dynasty to decline, and went to succeed Liu Bei of Shu Han to die, and only hoped that the Han Dynasty would continue again.

Of course, Fu Quan replied: "Quickly go forward and ask for your identity." ”

"No!" Du Kang saluted and replied, and then beckoned more than a dozen soldiers on the left and right, walked away, and quickly arrived in front of the carriage and picked up the man.

From a distance, Fu Quan saw Du Kang and the others first surrounding the carriage in front and back, and then holding the hilt of the sword, staring at the carriage vigilantly, especially the person driving the horse. Du Kang was closer at this time, but he was also cautious, he was also a person who had experienced the battlefield, and of course he felt the killing aura of this man driving the horse. And the other party doesn't know if it's a notorious brocade thief, who knows if the "thief" will burst out and hurt people?

The man on the horse was defenseless, and was suddenly surrounded by more than a dozen stubborn soldiers, and his first reaction was to touch the knife at his waist. Fu Quan's heart tightened, and he was about to order the others to come forward, if this man spread the horse's hooves to drive the carriage, he really couldn't stop him. But after seeing what Du Kang said, the man driving the horse immediately let go of his hand, and the two sides talked a few words, because of the distance, Fu Quan couldn't hear the specific content, only some words came with the wind, probably Du Kang was asking the person who was driving the horse "where did he come from", "name and hometown" and so on.

"Wang Yue!"

A sudden sound came over, and the voice was none other than Du Kang's shout. Fu Quan was also startled by this voice, and then looked over, only to see Du Kang holding a long knife in his hand, taking a few steps back, and asking "Wang Yue" some more questions, but then the "Wang Yue" stopped talking, as if Du Kang asked some questions that he didn't want to talk about.

Seeing this, Fu Quan suddenly felt different, what questions could Du Kang ask when he stopped the car, and the questions he asked must be related to Gan Ning. Since this man didn't want to answer, there must be a problem, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to follow him to intercept him, and at the same time ordered someone to watch near the official road, if he was Gan Ning, he would definitely not let him break out of this encirclement with the advantage of carriages and horses.

When he came to the carriage, Fu Quan was able to take a good look at the person in front of him, and saw that his figure was indeed similar to Gan Ning. It's just that he has a hat on his head, and his face is very deep, so he can't see his face clearly, and he seems to be deliberately avoiding some, thinking hard to no avail, and then he asked Du Kang: "Why the noise?" ”

"Back to the prince, the last general asked the name of this person's hometown, he only said 'Wang Yue', and then ordered him to dismount and search, he did not say anything, and the last general repeatedly ordered him, and he was the same, so it was noisy." Du Kang saluted back, but there was a look of excitement in his tone, thinking that he was a fake marquis with a rank ratio of 400 stone in the Han army, and he was so ignored by this passing small people, can he not be angry?

Fuquan bowed his head, and then turned his eyes to the man who drove the horse, as far as his eyes could see, he saw the inside of the robe, but it was a fox fur thick velvet, and he wanted to come to the family with a good background, so he hurriedly saluted and said: "Jun came from afar, but it is rude to disturb the foot, but now the brocade clothes and thieves in the territory are in trouble, and the county office ordered to arrest them, and please get out of the car and search them." ”

As soon as the words fell, the person on the other side suddenly trembled, Fu Quan suddenly felt something different, and looked at it carefully, only to feel that although the person pressed the hat on his head very low, his eyes were looking at him through the gap in the hat. The indescribable familiarity in his eyes seemed to have seen it somewhere, and when his gaze moved down, and when he turned to the saber on his waist, there was a sense of familiarity that he should have seen this knife.

Have you seen him yourself?

When have you seen it?

Where and what did he see?

A series of questions appeared in his mind, Fu Quan kept thinking, but he couldn't think of a clue, so he planned to continue to ask, and said: "In Xialangya Fuliuchuan, I have seen the foot, dare to ask the name of the foot?" ”

"Wang, Wang Yue." The tone of the person on the other side seemed to be hoarse, and it sounded vague, but because the name was just two simple words, it could still be heard clearly.

However, Fu Quan felt that he had seen this voice there, and suddenly a hint of enlightenment came to his mind, Gan Ning, who was pretending to be "Wang Yue", didn't he use the pseudonym "Ning Gan" to deceive himself before? Could it be that he is Gan Ning?

Thinking of this, Fu Quan took a few steps back, and then shouted loudly: "Gan Ning, you are under siege at this time, and you are not ready to be captured?" In fact, Fu Quan is not sure whether this person is Gan Ning or not, after all, his feelings can also be delusions, the reason why he shouted like this is just to deceive this person, at this time, but no matter how strong the psychological quality is, there will be some abnormalities, not to mention a teenager like Gan Ning, even if he is bold and strategic, there are some things that can only be dealt with immediately after experience.

The man driving the horse on the opposite side didn't know that Fu Quan was a trick, and said with a hint of tremor in his tone: "Fu and Fu Jun are laughing, they are just people all the way, and they are playing with their insiders, not the brocade clothes and handsome Ganning." ”

As soon as these words came out, Fu Quan's heart was reassured, he had already decided that this person was Gan Ning, not to mention that his tone was strange, that is, he actually called Gan Ning "handsome in brocade", which showed that he was definitely not a good person. Although this person deliberately paused here, looking like he had done it unintentionally, Fu Quan didn't think so, and based on his preconceived notions, he decided that this person was Gan Ning.

Think about it, what ordinary people would call the leader of a brocade-clad thief who gathers rangers and evil boys and plunders everywhere as "handsome"? There are only those brocade thieves, and then the clues that Gan Ning disguised the identity of "Wang Yue" and sneaked into the county to corroborate it, then the identity of this person is about to come out at this moment, who else is there besides Gan Ning?

Fu Quan laughed and said: "I can't imagine that the dignified Jinyi Qu Shuai doesn't even recognize his name now, it's really ridiculous to spread it!" Gan Ning, now that you can't escape the law, if you don't tie your hands and get caught, when will you wait? ”

When the words fell, the air suddenly fell into a short silence, and the soldiers under Fuquan hurriedly stepped forward and responded with knives.

Before I saw it, I listened to the "Wang Yue" and said: "Ning Zhu planned like this, but he didn't expect to fall to this point, Ming Gong is clever, and Ning is very convinced." With that, he took off his hat, revealing a handsome face with a beard, and then threw it aside, then wiped a handful of snow water from his coat, and groped around his mouth, as if he were plucking his beard.

Soon, a familiar face appeared in front of Fu Quan, this person was none other than Qu Shuai Gan Ning, the brocade-clothed thief that Fu Quan had been hunted for day and night. Unexpectedly, even though he continued to arrest him, this Gan Ning was forced to wander under his nose in the sphere of influence under the jurisdiction of his soldiers.
