Chu Huan said softly: "General Xuanyuan, your guess may not be wrong. This group of assassins started at the junction of Xishan and Anyi, which just revealed that these assassins were sent by Anyi. ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai immediately said, "What do you think?" ”

"Actually, I'm only now figuring it out." Chu Huan said: "Zhou County's order said that this section of the river has already been calm, so it must have been ruled out that it was the bandits near Jiushui County. They chose this place and had not yet entered the territory of Anyi, in fact, it happened to be revealed that they did not want this to happen in the territory of Anyi, but they had to block the official's trip. ”

Xuanyuan Sheng was a little confused.

"General Xuanyuan, you have a sentence before, but I'm afraid that you really said what they were thinking." Chu Huan sneered: "Over there in Anyi, there are indeed people who don't want to go over. ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "My lord also said that even if something happens to you, the imperial court will still send officials to Anyi to raid the house, and the next time you come, there will definitely be more people." ”

Chu Huan nodded slightly, "Yes, so the reason why they stopped me from going to Anyi may not be to prevent me from going to the house, but I am afraid that there is something else hidden." ”

"What's going on?"

Chu Huan touched his chin and groaned slightly before he said, "General Xuanyuan, let me ask you, if the assassin succeeds tonight, I really die on the Jingjiang River, what will you do next?" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai frowned, was silent for a while, and finally said: "The last general can only return to the capital to ask the saint for his guilt!" ”

"Yes, it will take a lot of time to turn back." Chu Huan thought for a moment and said slowly: "Even if the Holy Lord sends someone to Anyi again, it will not be possible to do it in a day or two, and when the next Qin mission goes to Anyi, I am afraid that it will be a matter of a month, and it will be delayed for at least two months inside and outside." ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai nodded and said, "At least the imperial court will send someone to thoroughly investigate the murderer who assassinated the adult." ”

Chu Huan sneered: "In this way, on the Anyi side, some people have two months to spare. He lowered his head and calculated, and said, "By the time the next Qin mission arrives in Anyi, it will already be the end of the year." ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai frowned and said, "Even if you vacate two months, what can you do?" Huang Tianyi is now surrounded by officers and soldiers in Yusuo Lake, and in two months, I am afraid that the Huang family will no longer exist. ”

Chu Huan smiled faintly: "Whether it is as I think, I am not sure yet, but if it is really the case, then these two months must be very important to them." After a pause, he said softly: "Huang Tianyi is naturally the person behind the scenes who is the most suspicious, but he is only the most suspicious, and we can't determine whether this matter is his doing." He walked slowly to the tent, looking out with his hands behind his back, and the rain had gradually stopped, "What is the current situation of Anyi, I really want to find out." ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai followed Chu Huan's side and asked softly, "What do you mean?" ”

"General Xuanyuan, you immediately find a brother who is similar to me." Chu Huan took Xuanyuan Shengcai's arm, entered the tent, and said in a low voice: "Zhou County Decree said that there will be a carriage coming later, and when the time comes, I will let that brother take my place and board the carriage, and everything after that will require General Xuanyuan to work hard." ”

Before Xuanyuan Sheng could react, he said strangely: "What do you want to do?" ”

"We're going to split up tonight." Chu Huan sneered: "The situation in Anyi, the fog cover of Yunshan Mountain, I want General Xuanyuan to be in the light, and I will enter Anyi in two ways from the dark." ”

Xuanyuan Sheng was stunned, but he still lowered his voice and said, "How many people do you want to bring?" ”

"I'll enter secretly here, and I'll go to Anyi first to investigate the current situation in Anyi." Chu Huan said softly: "I'm only worried that if we enter Anyi together, we will immediately be under the surveillance of the Anyi people, and even if we want to know some information at that time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." After a slight pause, he said: "I took Sun Zikong and two of my own guards, and all the guards were still led by General Xuanyuan, and went to Anyi from Ming. ”

Xuanyuan Sheng didn't think about it, and flatly refused: "My lord, I can't agree to this matter." The Holy Lord ordered me to follow the side of the adults, that is, to do my best to ensure the safety of the adults, the adults were assassinated tonight, and the last general was already deeply ashamed, where can I let the adults take risks? The adults only brought three followers, but they didn't know anything about the situation on the Anyi side, so they would not be able to obey their orders if they took such a risk. ”

Chu Huan shook his head and sighed: "General Xuanyuan, the situation in Anyi may be more complicated than we thought. He thought about it, but after all, he didn't tell Xuanyuan Shengcai the news of the annihilation of the Shenyi Guard, but said: "General Xuanyuan, since the Holy Lord sent us to Anyi to do this errand, we naturally have to do it with all our hearts and do our best to fulfill the Holy Lord's will." You and I don't know anything about the situation in Anyi, as the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, only by going to see with your own eyes can we understand the situation in Anyi, and only then can we fulfill the holy will in Anyi. ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai frowned and said, "What the adults said is extremely true, but it's just ......!" ”

"If you can't find out something in advance, it's like a blind man touching an elephant." Chu Huan's expression became solemn, "Let's make this trip peaceful, we can only succeed, not fail, and we must also consider two hundred brothers." Stretched out his hand and patted Xuanyuan Shengcai on the shoulder, "General Xuanyuan, this is how this matter is done, you will turn around and say that I was caught in the wind and cold because of the rain, and I left here, so I let my brother hide in the car, and try not to let others know that I left the team." ”

Xuanyuan Sheng hesitated for a moment, as if he had made some kind of decision, and said, "My lord, you are a Qincha, it is a matter of the overall situation, and this matter is still too risky." In this way, the adults will lead everyone to set off from the bright road, and a few people will be brought to ...... at the end! Before he finished speaking, Chu Huan had already shook his head and said, "General Xuanyuan has a good command of the troops, and I, Chu Huan, am not as good as General Xuanyuan." The matter was thus decided, and no further ado. He also said: "General Xuanyuan went to find Sun Zikong, and I have something to tell him." ”

Xuanyuan Sheng saw that Chu Huan's mind had been decided, and he knew that he could not be persuaded so he could only leave helplessly, and after a while, Sun Zikong came over, Chu Huan whispered to Sun Zikong to find two camel riders, and ordered the three of them to change into civilian clothes, and then quietly left the camp and went to wait by the river five miles away to the north, Sun Zikong didn't know what Chu Huan was going to do, but since he was so ordered, he could only do so.

Sun Zikong left for a while, and Zhou Xianling had already hurried over, and said happily: "Lord Qincha, it's done, fortunately, our Zhao Zhubo likes to write and paint, and he also has a general understanding of this terrain." "Present a sketched map with both hands," this is drawn by Zhao Zhubo, the general route has been marked, the towns along the way and the larger mountains and rivers, also roughly indicated, may not be very accurate, but there is a rough idea. ”

Chu Huan smiled and said: "Zhou County Order, you have done a good job in this matter, it seems that your subordinates are also full of talents." ”

Zhou Xianling hurriedly smiled: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Chu Huan said: "The official is slightly unwell, maybe it is raining, will the carriage you mentioned arrive soon?" ”

"It's already here." Zhou Xianling hurriedly said: "The adults want to use the carriage, and the lower officials will let them come over now." ”

Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "Half an hour later, you let the carriage come to my tent, the official should take a break first, you should retreat first." ”

Zhou Xian Ling stepped back, he walked on the front foot, Xuanyuan Shengcai had already brought a soldier over, and asked Chu Huan in a low voice: "My lord, his figure is roughly similar to yours, do you think he can succeed?" ”

Chu Huan looked at it, nodded and smiled: "Yes." He took out his clothes and ordered the soldiers to put them on, and after putting them on, he really looked a little like Chu Huan, Chu Huan told Xuanyuan Sheng alone, and he changed into a light and ordinary clothes, and wrapped his blood drinking knife in leather, just to attract people's eyes, his own thunder fire unicorn naturally couldn't go along, and when everything was arranged, he said goodbye to Xuanyuan Sheng, and in the night, he quietly led a horse and left the camp.

After leaving the camp, Chu Huan was still on guard, riding north along the riverside, and soon saw Sun Zikong and two camel riders waiting by the river, these two camel riders are called Ma Zheng and Liu Suifeng, and now they are all following Chu Huan and doing Chu Huan's escort, also to seek a future.

Sun Zikong came to Chu Huan, hurriedly greeted him, and asked, "Master, where are we going?" ”

Chu Huan didn't say much, just ordered the three of them to get on the horse, he had carefully read the map in the tent before, and he probably had a bottom in his heart, and now led Sun Zikong and the other three people, turned away from the river, and headed for Anyi by land.

Chu Huanxin was still thinking about the strange knife man who stabbed him, and wondered if the Shenyi Guard was wiped out in Anyi not long ago, did this matter have anything to do with the strange knife man's group of assassins?

What is the origin of this group of people? Is it really Huang Tianyi who sent someone to assassinate? If it weren't for Huang Tianyi, who would it be? Did they assassinate themselves out of hatred, or did they have another reason? Or, as he suspected, just to delay the trip of the imperial court to Anyi, and make time for another plan?

Chu Huan knew that he could come back alive from Anyi, and he might be able to solve them, otherwise he would most likely be buried in Anyi, a land of right and wrong.

However, Chu Huan had a feeling in his heart that although this strange knife man could not be assassinated and led the crowd to evacuate, he believed that this was by no means the last confrontation, no matter who sent the other party, he might fight again in the future.

Chu Huan and his entourage of four people kept going, all the way to the north, although Chu Huan probably knew the route to Taiyuan Mansion, but he did not choose to walk on the main road, but found some remote uninhabited paths to walk, walking like this, the road will be a lot more, Sun Zikong and the three of them are full of doubts, but they dare not ask more.

After two days, after leaving the camp on the first day, he did not stop, and on the second night he passed through a small village, and borrowed a night in a farmhouse, and the next day he set out before dawn, and this day was another day, and when it was dark, the grandson was already very tired, and this continuous journey, and taking the deserted and difficult road, did make people easily tired, even two camel riders who could endure hardships, and they were also slightly tired.

After the sky was completely dark, the four of them were still moving forward on a remote road, Chu Huan also saw that the three of them were tired, there were still a few days away from Taiyuan Mansion, so tired walking, naturally it was not good, so he wanted to see if he could meet the village to spend the night, and after walking for half an hour, the village did not see, but he saw that on the edge of the road ahead, a little light was far away, and when he approached, he saw that it was a red lantern hanging on a long bamboo pole, and the lantern was written in big black characters, but it was the four words "Duan Chang Inn", and the night wind was fluttering, The red lantern swayed in the wind, and it was deserted all around, looking very lonely and desolate.
