"How can this work? Ning has already worshiped under the name of the lord, and he should follow the lord! The matter of Shuizhai can be done by Ning's clan brother Gan Yuan! Gan Ning immediately shouted loudly, "Gan Yuan! ”

"Chief! You call me? Gan Ning's clan brother, that is, the young man with the big knife just now, ran over quickly with the big knife on his back.

"Go back to the village to inform the brothers that from today on, we are already officers and soldiers under the command of the Nanyang Army. Be sure to keep to yourself, and when I return to the village, I will leave for Nanyang! Gan Ning commanded with a big grin.

"Okay! Rest assured, Chief! After Gan Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and beckoned the more than 100 Jinfan thieves to clear the big trees blocking the way, and then Qi Qi hugged his fist in the direction of He Xian and Gan Ning, turned around and disappeared into the dense forest beside the road. In the blink of an eye, he walked cleanly.

He Xian ordered someone to vacate a war horse with supplies for Gan Ning, and the group continued on the road and rushed to Yicheng.

When he arrived in Yicheng, it was almost evening, and He Xian decided to stay at the Yuelai Inn in the city for a while, and wait until the next morning to visit Xiang Lang. The Joy Inn consists of three two-storey wooden buildings. At the back of the building there is a large courtyard with stables for dozens of horses and a carport for a dozen wagons, guarded by several special grooms. The complete supporting facilities can be ranked in the entire Jingzhou area. And the inn is located in the north gate of Yicheng, which is a prime location for people to come and go, and the geographical location is extremely superior. It is said that this inn is the property of the Xiang family.

Xu Shu came forward and asked for four wings on the second floor of the inn. He Xian, Huang Yueying, Xu Shu, and Gan Ning each live in one room. The four wings are next to each other, so it is convenient to take care of each other. He Kun led the guards in the Chase shop on the first floor.

After a brief dinner at the inn, it was getting dark. He Xian summoned Huang Yueying, Xu Shu, and Gan Ning to the room, ready to discuss the matter of visiting Xiang Lang tomorrow. After everyone arrived, He Xian didn't have time to speak, Gan Ning wrote the word "thief" on the top of the case with a reference pen, and then pointed to the sky vaguely, indicating "There is a thief on the roof!" ”

He Xian understood, pretended to be hungry, and asked Gan Ning to go to the kitchen to find some food to come back. Gan Ning took the order and exited the wing.

couldn't talk about things for the time being, so He Xian ordered Xu Shu to take out Go and kill another game. After leaning down, a sharp arrow broke through the air sounded on the roof, one person screamed and rolled down, and the other hurriedly left the place, stepping on the roof tiles "creak". Then Gan Ning's loud shout sounded: "Thief, where to escape!" ”

He Kun and the others quickly rushed upstairs to protect He Xian and the others. He Xian and Xu Shu played chess by themselves, talking and laughing until Gan Ning returned.

"Ning is incompetent, and he was escaped by another thief!" Gan Ning said with a look of shame.

"It's just a little thief, Xingba doesn't need to blame himself!" He Xian was relieved, "Where is the thief who was injured and captured?" ”

"Back to the lord, the thief bit his tongue and killed himself when he fell off the roof!" He Kun replied.

"Lord, Ning just checked the thief who committed suicide and found that their identity is not ordinary! It seems to be a dead soldier of some family! Gan Ning added.

"Dead?"

"Yes! The deceased had calluses between his right fingers, and was clearly a veteran with a sword. And the person who escaped was extremely familiar with the terrain of Yicheng, and was obviously not an ordinary thief! ”

He Xian and Xu Shu glanced at each other, and a strong sense of doubt rose in their hearts: "Could it be someone from the Xiang family?" ”

"The Xiang clan is a ceremonial heirloom, not known for force. Even if there are some housekeepers, they will not be so violent. Xu Shu didn't believe that this was done by the Xiang family.

"Not necessarily! These great families are hidden deeply! Gan Ning obviously didn't have a good impression of these families and didn't agree with Xu Shu's opinion.

The family that can survive in the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty cannot be a simple good family; Those who can circulate in the annals of history in a chaotic world cannot be ordinary people.

"Since there aren't too many clues, we might as well wait and see what happens!" He Xian thought about it for a while, more things are better than less things. Now Jingzhou is surging in all directions, and although Yicheng is the old nest of the Xiang family, it is not guaranteed to be infiltrated by other forces.

Now that He Xian has set the tone, Xu Shu and Gan Ning will not say more. In order to ensure Huang Yueying's safety, He Xian went to her room to make a bunk. Although the two had a marriage contract for a long time, and the Han Dynasty was not as strict as later generations in terms of male and female defense, but because Huang Yueying had just turned 15 years old, He Xian couldn't do it, and she had to wait for her to grow up.

He Kun took three special operations teammates into Huang Yueying's room, and as soon as there was any movement, he could quickly protect He Xian and the others. The body of the dead thief was handed over to the innkeeper, who handed it over to the county government for disposal. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the security in Yicheng has been worse every year. One person dies here today, one more corpse there tomorrow. As long as no one complains, the county government is basically too lazy to manage it, and it can't manage it if it wants to.

……

"Zhonglin, why are you hurt? Come on in! In a large mansion in the southeast corner of Yicheng, Cen Hui, who looked puzzled, quickly let a man in black into the study.

"Gongxiao don't ask first, help me stop the bleeding from the arrow wound on my arm!" The man in black called "Zhonglin" is none other than Chen Xiang, a famous man in Runan. And the one who accepted him was Nanyang celebrity Cen Hui. The two and Liu Wei are both members of the "Jiangxia Bajun" and have a close relationship.

While helping Chen Xiang bandage, Cen Hui asked, "What about the general who went with you?" “

"Dead! I was shot by someone from Nanyang Firm! Chen Xiang said gloomily.

Cen Hui was shocked and said, "So, there is really a problem with the Nanyang firm?" ”

"Definitely something's wrong!" Chen Xiang replied affirmatively, "It should be the same as our guess!" It should be the messenger sent by the He clan in Nanyang to lobby Xiang Lang! ”

Cen Hui continued to ask: "Do you know which person under He Xian's command is the leader?" But that Yingchuan ghost Guo Fengxiao? ”

"It is rumored that Guo Jia is unique! Although the person headed by Nanyang is strong, he is powerful and powerful, and he seems to be a martial artist! Unfortunately, before I could listen, I was discovered by the other party's guards and fled for my life in a hurry. Chen Xiang said ashamedly.

"Takeo?" Cen Hui frowned and said, "No matter who comes here, it will be a great obstacle for us to complete the task entrusted by Jingsheng!" ”

Chen Xiang sighed and said: "Xiang Juda has been reluctant to give an exact reply, presumably he is waiting for someone from Nanyang!" ”

"Yicheng is the old nest of the Xiang family, and the relationship is intertwined, even if we want to use it, we can't do it. It seems that he can only wait patiently for Xiang Juda's decision. Cen Hui also sighed.

"I hope Liu Jingsheng's side can go well......"
