At the west gate of Swallow City, when a carriage with the word Lanling drove over at a gallop, the generals guarding the city gate couldn't help but jump for a while. The reason is very simple, the word Lanling has really changed the color of everyone's talk recently. In the past three days, the county lord of Huoshan, who is said to be the daughter of the late king of Lanling County, has done everything that has stunned the officials and the people.

The team that came forward watched with trepidation as the carriage slowed down and stopped in front of them. Thinking that a few days ago, he had let the Huoshan County Lord enter the city, at this time he glanced back at the heads hanging high at the city gate, and finally stepped forward cautiously, and before he could speak, he heard an impatient voice from the car.

"What's going on? Is this the Swallow City finally arrived? ”

"Yes, the king, it's already here."

The word "county king" came into his ears, and the team almost didn't tremble. But in an instant, he realized that the county lord's father was the late king of Lanling County, and the person who spoke in the car heard that the voice was extremely young, obviously not a person, he breathed a sigh of relief, but when the curtain of the car opened, a haggard man with a scruffy beard and bloodshot eyes that couldn't see his age came out, and he was a little uncertain.

"It's all a good thing done by this damn Wuwei lieutenant in Swallow City, and I can't stop for a moment! Where are Xiao Qingqing, the county lord of Huoshan, and that Wu Rong now, hurry up and lead the way! ”

Seeing that the man who was suspected of being the king of the county was so arrogant, the team was a little hesitant, and the driver of the car said: "The king of my family led the Autumn Hunting Division on behalf of the Emperor, and rushed over from Xinle day and night on the orders of the emperor. ”

Only then did the team understand that it was true that the one who came was the king of Lanling County, but it had nothing to do with the Huoshan County Lord, and he was Xiao Changhui, the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven and the son-in-law of the Heavenly Son-although the princess was dead, Xiao Changhui was even more prosperous! But before he could express his respect, he saw the bearded King of Lanling yawning.

"I just want to find a bed to sleep in for three days and three nights now, so you'd better lead the way quickly, I want to see Xiao Qingqing and Wu Rong."

As soon as Yue Xiaosi's voice fell, he saw that Team Zheng's expression was obviously not right. Finding that the person actually looked back at the high place of the city gate with some hesitation, he immediately looked up as well, and found that it was a few black heads, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and then immediately asked, "Wu Rong is dead?" ”

The team didn't expect that one of their actions would make people see the clues, so they simply lowered their heads and said honestly: "Back to the county king, after the joint performance was sent away, the county lord of Huoshan directly beheaded Wu Rong with a sword, and said that all the responsibility was borne by her, but then he ......" He paused suddenly, as if he didn't know what to say next.

"And then she ran away?" Yue Xiaosi frowned, and asked rhetorically according to his own thoughts.

"Well, I can't say that completely......" Although the team knew that the risk was very high, they still couldn't help but speak for the Huoshan County Lord, "The county lord is just troublesome, so he left six of the accompanying guards to help the rest of the generals suppress the riots, count Wu Rong's family property, and deal with the imperial court ......by the way."

Dealing with the imperial court was just a ...... Before he finished speaking, Yue Xiaosi suddenly frowned: "She dared to raid Wu Rong's family property without a will?" ”

"No, no, no, those guards were just marching into battle, and there were many gentlemen and elders in the city to witness at that time. Before the county lord left, he sent a message and returned a lot of land and property occupied by Wu Rong to the original owner, and scattered the remaining part of the ownerless to the soldiers and civilians of the city, and said that it was the emperor's will......"

This kind of means of pulling up the tiger skin to make a big flag, the younger four only feel familiar. Dad did it when he was young, he did it when he fought the younger generation of martial arts in the south, he did it when Beiyan fell into the grass, and he still did it after he became the son-in-law of God...... This simple wisdom inherited from the Yue family made him think of a certain kid almost intuitively.

He took a deep breath, pointed to the team and said, "You get me in the car and explain in detail what is going on!" ”

Although the team would never regard this as the favor of the nobles for themselves, and secretly complained in their hearts, how dare he resist such an order, so he could only follow Yue Xiaosi to the car with a bitter face. There was one more person squeezed in the small carriage, and it suddenly seemed even more cramped, he had worked as a coachman on the road before, and the guard who was still sleeping at this time was sleepy and wanted to get out of the car, but he was kicked by Yue Siyi.

"Don't be reckless, can you walk or ride a horse when you go down now? Sleep well, I'll take you two with me, and if something goes wrong with you two in the future, who will protect me? Seeing that the guard almost instinctively turned his head sideways to look at Zhen Rong, and Zhen Rong, who had not cleaned up his appearance for a few days, was a little unnaturally just wanted to respond, and Yue Xiaosi snorted.

"He is half a catty to eight taels compared to you, what can a tired soldier do? I'm not listening to any secret that I can't tell anyone else, you all stay for me! Reprimanded his subordinates, Yue Xiaosi looked at the obviously cowering team and said, "Okay, what happened in the past few days, tell me what happened!" ”

It was then that the team learned that the other two in the car were probably guards, but they didn't have time to think about it, so they had to tell everything they knew in detail. When he mentioned Xiao Qingqing, the county lord of Huoshan, and the fierce little maid next to him, who was about eleven or twelve years old, Yue Xiaosi's face became extraordinarily strange.

Originally, this was just suspicion, but when he heard that the county lord was still accompanied by a thin little eunuch, who was often turned around by the little maid, his suspicion suddenly turned into conviction, and at the same time, he also understood Xiao Jingxian's intentions.

As long as the emperor does not come in person, ordinary people will never have that outrageous association. But he is different, he and Yue Qianqiu are actually father and son - even if the father and son have few opportunities to communicate with each other; And he and Xiao Jingxian were also nominal allies, and they knew each other far more than most people thought.

What's more, bold conjecture and careful verification are his consistent style.

When the upstart of the dynasty, the king of Lanling County, who now has the power to lead the Autumn Hunting Division, arrived, and the swallow city, which had already jumped over once, naturally fell into a lot of commotion again.

Xiao Changheng visited the Centennial Inn, saw the smashed lobby, and visited the injured shopkeeper who was so flattered that his smile was worse than his bitter face; inspected the military camp that was seized by Xiao Qingqing, the lord of Huoshan County, in three or two strokes; The little maid who retook the county lord of Huoshan dragged Wu Rong out of the deepest route......

And he finally stood in the place where Wu Rong was beheaded by a sword, and the blood stains had not faded away, and he was silent for a long time.

Zhen Rong was by the side from beginning to end, although it was a bumpy road, but he was too tired, and under the influence of Ning Shenxiang, he also slept in the carriage in a daze for a long time, so he could still accompany Yue Xiaosi at this time.

And the two real palace guards were sent by Yue Xiaosi to make up for sleep and rest.

At this moment, he was worried about the lives of the powerful people in Beiyan, but suddenly he only heard Yue Xiao's four heads say a word without looking back.

"Here, take a look at this thing."

Zhen Rong took the thick book with some hesitation, only to find out that this was the book of Swallow City's performance to the emperor before. He unfolded it and swept it through the ten lines at a glance, and figured out that this was Wu Rong, the martial arts captain in Swallow City before the impeachment, and immediately put away the casual at the beginning, and read through it carefully. This time, he finally took a gentle breath.

"That's really ......"

"Bold, heinous, and evil...... You don't need to say these words to accuse Wu Rong, I know that he must be innocent, otherwise the sound of firecrackers would not be heard everywhere in the city at this time. Yue Xiaosi turned his head to look at Zhen Rong and asked with a smile, "I only ask you, do you see anything else?" ”

There were only the two of them at this time, whether it was the county magistrate of Swallow City, or the other civil and military officials, no one dared to rashly come to Xiao Changjun, the famous king of Lanling County recently, so Yue Xiaosi was not worried that anyone would listen to the conversation between them. At this time, he saw that Zhen Rong was puzzled at first, and then buried his head again to look at the note, including the handwriting and signature, and he couldn't help but show a smile.

If Yue Qianqiu can stay and help him, it is actually the most ideal. The kid who was personally taught by the old man was in tune with him from his thinking to his methods, but Emperor Beiyan had to come to that trick, and he cut off the possibility of Yue Qianqiu staying.

It has been speculated that he is the little prince of Beiyan, how can he be his son?

Moreover, the grandson who worked hard to teach was cheaper than Beiyan, and the old man who was still in Jinling was afraid that he would be drowned by countless spittle stars, no matter how powerful the means and prestige of the past were, he couldn't suppress the crowd's mouths, and even the emperor couldn't favor him.

On the contrary, Zhen Rong's choice is really ideal. What's more, Zhen Rong's previous actions, including his attitude of not being humble or arrogant in front of the Northern Yan Emperor, and his stubborn but sincere character, are easier for the Northern Yan people to accept than the slippery Yue Qianqiu.

When he saw that Zhen Rong finally raised his head again, he asked with a smile, "What do you see?" ”

Zhen Rong hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly: "This Huoshan County Lord, I feel that she is deliberately looking for fault, or rather, she has long known the situation in Swallow City, and knows that this Wuwei Captain Wu Rong has a bad record, and she is simply here for this person." ”

Yue Xiaosi's smile suddenly froze on his face, and then he sighed: "Do you want to say this?" You, you...... It's so scheming! ”

But also, if you have a scheming, you can still be coaxed into that group of heroes in the first place? If you have a scheming, can you still be played by Yue Qianqiu?

However, now, even if there is a risk, the younger four have to continue. He hesitated for a moment, stepped forward to take back the piece of music from Zhen Rong's hand, flicked it on it casually, and said lightly: "Don't you think that the style of Xiao Qingqing and her little maid is very similar to some two people?" ”

Zhen Rong first frowned and pondered, then his face froze, and then his face was full of disbelief, and finally, his face turned pale little by little.

In the face of Zhen Rong's drastic change in complexion, Yue Xiaosi said slowly: "You don't have to worry, I'm just guessing, there is no evidence, and I don't plan to look for evidence." I had an agreement with Xiao Jingxian, I helped him delay time, and he took the opportunity to send Yue Qianqiu away, in exchange for him to help me eradicate Lou Yingchang. But I didn't expect him to run away himself. But it's not bad, with him, I can't do a lot of things after all, it's inconvenient to do. So now, I'm going to clean it up for him, you know? ”
