Chapter 7 Everything is in plain sight

Jiang Yun hid above the Fengmen Pavilion and silently watched the men and horses brought by Li Heng clean up the battlefield.

Is this right or wrong? Zong Wen colluded with the bandits of Qingquanzhai to be the party for many years, looted the property of the passing caravans, killed countless people, and was beheaded according to the laws of Dayan; However, in order to kill this person, colluding with Beirong is a great crime of treason. Who can tell who is right and who is wrong? A trace of confusion appeared in Jiang Yun's eyes, he sighed lightly and disappeared into the dense forest.

It was almost dusk when Jiang Yun returned to the city, and the security in the city was much tighter than usual, and the sergeant guarding the gate carefully checked him two or three times before letting him in. The people in the city talked a lot, and all kinds of gossip flew all over the sky. Some people even said that Beirong had committed another offense, which caused a wave of worry among the people around him.

Jiang Yun was silent, returned to the inn to freshen up for a while and then fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yun met the little guy who sent him the message last time, the little guy was wearing thick armor today, and took Jiang Yun to the door of the inn, where there were already more than ten sergeants waiting there, in addition to ten carts full of goods.

"Childe, this was sent by the orders of my family. There are a total of seven carts of medicinal herbs, which were lost by Liu Fu last time. In addition, there are three carts of money and property, which were given to my son by the lord of my family. Please take a look at it. With that, the little guy handed over a detailed list.

After Jiang Yun saw it, he thanked the little guy, "Thank you for me." Then he imperceptibly took out ten taels of silver tickets from his bosom, "Help me give these troubles to my brothers." ”

The little guy showed joy on his face, "Thank you, Childe!" ”

"Brothers, help Gongzi deliver these goods to Liu's Mansion!"

Liu's Mansion.

Master Liu sat in the living room, took out a long sword carefully wrapped in silk, and stared at it for a long time.

"Sir! Yun Gongzi has already arrived outside the mansion. ”

"Let him come here."

Jiang Yun walked through the corridor and came to the front of Master Liu's house, and the servant gently opened the door, and when Jiang Yun entered, he gently closed it.

Master Liu looked at Jiang Yun with a calm face, "How?" ”

"The herbs have been retrieved and are intact."

Master Liu nodded, stared down at the long sword, and stroked the scabbard with his fingers, "Who are you now?" ”

Master Liu suddenly burst out with a terrifying momentum, and there was a murderous aura between his eyebrows.

"Yu Linwei, or is it the Beirong thief?!" Master Liu said in a deep voice, "It's been sixteen years, and I was finally found by you, and I, Liu Changqing, have lived for so many more years, and it's worth it!" ”

"Brothers, I'm going to see you..."

Seeing this, Jiang Yun's tense nerves eased and smiled, "Master Liu, do you still remember Qin Yu?" ”

In an instant, Liu Changqing's whole person froze, and the hatred in his eyes changed from the original hatred to doubt, and finally to indescribable excitement. His mouth was wide open, but he couldn't utter a word.

Suddenly, Liu Changqing fell to his knees on the ground, "Young master! ”

Jiang Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Changqing up, "Uncle Liu, please get up!" ”

Liu Changqing's eyes were full of tears, and a flush of excitement appeared on his face, "I thought that the Jiang family was gone..."

"Brothers, do you hear me... The young master is still ... The Jiang family is not dead! The Jiang family is not dead! ”

Sixteen years! Liu Changqing has not lived comfortably in the past 16 years, and even humiliated. The dignified Yanjiang family disappeared overnight, and the family was beheaded by loyal martyrs, and was even accused of a traitorous rebellious minister and thief!

"Uncle Liu, I came this time on the orders of Uncle Qin."

Liu Changqing was full of relief, "Is Old Qin okay?" ”

Jiang Yun flashed a hint of gloom, "Uncle Qin is no longer here." ”

Liu Changqing's body was stagnant and speechless for a long time.

"I'm here for one thing."

"Justify the name of the Great Yanjiang family!"

When Liu Changqing heard this, he knelt down on his left knee and pushed his right fist to the ground, "The last general, Liu Changqing, is willing to serve the Jiang family!" ”

Jiang Yun helped Liu Changqing up, "Uncle Liu, tell me about the current situation." ”

After midnight in Lin'an, Emperor Ji Yuan ordered to reduce the military budget for border defense, and removed a large number of generals, and also gave Ouyang Kai a letter to the Hanlin Academy, the official department Shangshu Fangzheng, and the civil department Shangshu Zheng Yu to request the removal of the remnants of the Jiang family, and countless people were imprisoned for a time.

"Now these people are all in the cabinet. That little thing is the first assistant. Liu Changqing said with great sadness, "Since then, Dayan's military strength has plummeted. ”

"Back then, the Jiang family guarded Mobei, and Rong Qiu did not dare to commit it, and even hit the Beirong King City and forced the Beirong King to go out of the city to surrender. In the east, the Beigong family went to the South Seas, and the barbarians were subdued. The Chen family in the south captured Jiaozhi, and the Xuanyuan family in the west captured the eight cities and fourteen passes of Tubo. Dayan, that's so majestic?! ”

"And now? It's no longer as glorious as it used to be. Inside and outside the court, only the Xuanyuan family was left struggling to support. ”

Dayan was in an eventful autumn at this time, there was Rong in the north, Nanban in the south, Tubo in the west, wars were continuous, the treasury was tight, so the conscription tax was increased, the eighteen counties of Dayan, the five counties had a famine, and there was even a matter of changing children and eating. There was turmoil in various places, and there were constant revolts.

"With our current strength, it is not yet a climate, and it will take time to accumulate. And even if I only have a martial arts, if I don't have enough background, it is far from enough," Jiang Yun said slowly.

"Young master, there is a place to go or to consider." Liu Changqing thought for a while and said, "White Deer Academy." ”

Bailu Academy, located in Lin'andu, Dayan First Academy, is also a place that countless people yearn for, since the establishment of Gaozu years, more than 80 years, there have been many heroes and famous generals, with the identity of Bailu Academy, equivalent to half a foot into the court. However, the admission is extremely strict, each person only has one chance to pass the exam in his life, if he loses it, there is no more, and the age must not be less than fourteen, nor higher than seventeen, these harsh conditions make many people prohibitive.

"White Deer Academy recruits students once every five years, and there is still half a year before the next recruitment."

Jiang Yun nodded, it will take about three to four months to go south from Mobei to Lin'andu, and it will be in time. Liu Changqing went to arrange related things.

Jiang Yun originally planned to give Liu Changqing all the ten carts of property sent by Li Heng, after all, it must have cost a lot to go to Beijing this time, but Liu Changqing said that he would not say anything, and only accepted seven carts of medicinal materials, and the rest was converted into three thousand taels of silver tickets and given to Jiang Yun.

At the same time that the whole Liu Mansion took action, the people in the city also gathered around the notice board. In front of the notice board, two officers and soldiers were guarded, and on it was a notice that the pen and ink were not completely dry.

"Zhenyuanguan General Zong Wen colluded with Qingquan Village and Beirong, for many years, brutalized my big swallow people, and disappeared without a trace after absconding yesterday, those who see this person should immediately report to the government, and the offender will be punished for harboring!"

The onlookers were in an uproar, discussing around the notice, and most of the words were insults to Zong Wen, and many people let out a long breath, if there was no Qingquan Village, then the plank road would be unimpeded, and they could make a lot of money from it.

A small restaurant not far from the notice board, the shop is indifferent, still warming the liquor. The vendors not far away ignored the bulletin boards, shouting and running for a living.

Children frolicking around, unaware of what was happening. In the past, the location of the Yunhai Dart Bureau has become a ruin, and it has become a new adventure place for children.

Two days later, Jiang Yun sat down at a restaurant near the city gate with his bags on his back and took a sip of the refreshing warm wine.

"The guest officer is going to go far away."

"Yes, I don't know when I can come back."

Putting down the wine money, Jiang Yun turned over and rode to Lin'andu.

Running for dozens of miles, outside a long pavilion, there was a person waiting there.

"Brother Yun Xian." That person was Li Heng, and I saw that he had changed into civilian clothes, a little more plain.

"Brother Li." Jiang Yun dismounted and approached, "Don't come unharmed." ”

"If it weren't for Brother Yun Xian, how would I have the opportunity I have today?" Li Heng smiled, quite at the beginning, he was just the deputy general of Zhenyuan Pass, and today he has mastered the military power of Zhenyuan Pass, and the Taishou of Shule City also has to give him some face, all because of Jiang Yun's arrival.

"Definitely." Jiang Yun shook his head, "Brother Li has the ability to take on this position!" ”

"You're here for the White Deer Academy." Li Heng said slowly, taking out a letter from his arms, "There is an old man of mine in Bailu Academy, whose name is Zuo Yingxuan, he should be able to give you a little help." ”

Jiang Yun took the letter with both hands, "Thank you, Brother Li!" ”

"You must be careful when you go to Lin'andu this time." When Li Heng mentioned the word Lin'andu, something seemed to emerge in his mind, and his face was bitter, "Lin'an is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are many family valves, pay more attention to everything, and if you are not careful, it will be easy to fall into the rope." ”

Jiang Yun nodded, he could feel the sincerity of the other party, and after saying goodbye to Li Heng, he turned over and ran towards Lin'andu.

Li Heng watched Jiang Yun's figure gradually disappear from sight, and turned to leave.

Soon after Jiang Yun left, Yanrong Mutual Market outside Zhenyuan Pass was suddenly attacked by Beirong, killing and wounding hundreds of people, a large number of caravans were looted, and the defenders of Zhenyuan Pass did not send troops because they went out to suppress thieves and did not return.
