Chapter 80 The Strange Assassin

March 18 is the day of the wedding of Princess Jinyang and Xie Shenwei.

Xie Shenwei's wedding has attracted the attention of the whole world.

It is said that on that day, from the palace to the Weihou Mansion, the red carpet was rolled out for ten miles.

It is said that the queen fainted three times that day. The crown prince and the king of Qi were in tears.

It is said that Mrs. Xie laughed more that day than in the previous ten years combined.

It is said that on that day, eighty percent of the inns in the entire northern city of Jindu were full. During the day, the alleys are empty.

It is said that on that day, Tiqi sent congratulatory gifts. A hundred men were sent out to maintain law and order.

It is said that the Oiran of the Citrine House was heartbroken that night.

It is said that on that day, Xie Shenwei became the happiest man in the world, and many young girls with spring had their livers and intestines broken.

It is said that the wedding is still in the Weihou Mansion, and the day after the marriage will move into the General's Mansion. Xie Shenwei was crowned General Zhongwu and awarded the title of earl.

It is said that it is said, anyway, Xie Shence can't see it and don't know. All he knew was a girl who had locked herself in her room for three whole days, and the water and rice had not entered. If He Ruoque and Xie Shence hadn't kicked the door open, He Ruoque would have almost died.

He Ruoque looked at He Ruoque's emaciated face with tears in his eyes, and kicked Xie Shence out of the room.

It was really kicked out, and Xie Shence only felt that his chest was hit by a heavy hammer, and he fell out of the house in a graceful arc.

Xie Shence rubbed his chest and abdomen, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and left with a wry smile.

In He Ruoque's opinion, if there was no Xie family, or no Xie Shence, his sister would not have been entangled with Xie Shenwei to this day.

"Self-inflicted......" Xie Shence muttered to himself.

Tie Wei reported to Xie Shence a few days ago about the movements of the old doctor of Tonglu Pass, and found that the old doctor had had several contacts with the leader of the Xianbei caravan outside the gate, but he was just buying a few precious herbs. The specific time and place are not unusual, and there is no hidden means to convey any information from the old doctor.

Xie Shence's order was to continue to monitor, and he also asked Xie Yi to arrange for people to monitor the caravan of the Xianbei Royal Court, and report to him and Xie Yi at any time if there was any situation. After all, this caravan belonged to the royal court, and it was going to pass through Daba City when it went back, so Xie Shence couldn't help but be alert.

As soon as he got out of He Ruoque's courtyard, Xie Shence was called by Xie Yi's own soldiers.

It has been a while since Xie Shenwei returned to the Jin Capital, and during this time, he and He Ruoque returned to Tiemen Pass with Xie Yi.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Xie Shence saw Xie Yi Jiang Qi and two people in black. Xie Yi said: "I asked you to come because I wanted to give you a task, this matter is very important, it is about the people of Erli." These two are Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yang of Tiqi, and the two of them will work closely with you. ”

Xie Shence looked at the mandarin duck clothes on the two black-clothed people, as well as the long and short mandarin duck knives they were wearing, and hugged his fists and said: "I have seen two general-in-chiefs, and there are two adults." ”

Mr. Zhang said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the little marquis is polite." ”

Mr. Yang said: "To do things on the official line, the little marquis does not need to be polite, but he has an order, although he is instructed." ”

Xie Shence didn't dare to say again. After the greetings, the five of them gathered around the map to discuss specific actions.

Since he is the head of the Ti Cavalry Division, he is the big man of the Ti Cai Division.

Tiqi is a huge organization, with three divisions, which monitor three major parts, the first is to supervise domestic officialdom, the second is to target foreign forces, and the third is to look at the people of the world. Each division has an independent organization, with a chief and deputy commander and envoy department, a collection department, an analysis department, an implementation department, etc., and each department has two general departments, and there are several directors under it, and then there are subdivisions downward. The clerical office is a separate institution, which is run by the governor of Tiqi, and Zhou Jinmian, who can't remember his face, is the chief clerk of the clerical office.

Since Tiqi is here, it means that Dajin is making a move on the Erli people.

In addition to the two general divisions, there are also nearly a hundred Tiqi envoys, who have been scattered to various places. No one could be reached but themselves.

The plan was given by the cavalry, one of the two chief directors followed Xie Shence, and led more than ten people to pretend to be a caravan, and the other chief secretary was mixed into the royal court caravan, the two caravans were half a day apart, and they went north together, and in the round of Daba City, there would be a cavalry envoy who arrived in advance to answer. Then, according to the current situation of the intelligence, make specific plans.

In this way, very simply, Xie Shence's second trip to Xianbei began. The haste surprised Xie Shence himself.

He Ruoque was naturally entourage, and the Erli people wanted to get rid of his brothers and sisters after he turned against the water, although there was no killer at that time, He Ruoque instinctively felt that if he fell into their hands, he would be worse than dead.

It's a wonderful, unfounded, but extremely accurate. His strategic and tactical cultivation is not grateful to Shenwei and Shence, and he was able to escape from the encirclement and interception of the Tuoba Department back then, in addition to strong force, keen intuition is his greatest reliance.

In order to avoid the war zone, the caravan chose to cross an Alxa Desert from the northwest and then turn northeast to reach the city of Daba in Liusai Prefecture.

The caravan selected camels, forged identities, and obtained the customs clearance approval of the Northwest Army, Xie Shence's caravan was embellished behind the caravan that had contact with the old doctor, the leader of the caravan was called Tuoba Xi, and the Han name was Yuan Xi, a middle-aged man with fat and bald head, and before leaving the city, he also had dealings with the caravan principal dressed as the head of the caravan dressed as the chief secretary of the cavalry, and the two rented the camel team together.

Xie Shence's caravan is called Sicheng Caravan, which indicates that it is a caravan of Huai Shang, which belongs to Sizhou City and makes silk and tea. The "hire" guys are also all southerners with distinct accents. Regarding the identity and men, Xie Shence has never been worried, because this caravan, except for General Secretary Zhang and the five iron guards, is all Huai Shang from top to bottom, and the hired dart master is also a northwesterner who is used to running the grassland. This Sizhou City caravan had a problem with the transfer of funds, and needed a large amount of cash after a few months, and it happened that there were unsalable goods in the northwest, and there was a war, and it was impossible to sell things, so it wanted to try its luck in the grassland.

These things have been released intentionally or unintentionally in the past few days, and every dart master in the caravan knows it very well.

After a few days, the dart masters found that this Xie Shaodong, who came from Huaiyang, was very likable, and the open-mouthed master closed his mouth and talked to him extremely speculatively. A few days after entering the desert, Uncle Lou, who led the team, was ready to marry his daughter to him. However, when I heard that his family had promised him a family affair, and he would get married when he returned from this transaction, he dispelled his thoughts.

However, he dispelled the idea, and a few others still felt that their daughters were quite peugeot and wanted to dig into the corner. For this situation, Uncle Lou can't control it.

No, I chose a suitable place to camp at night, and when Xie Shaodong's house was alone by the fire, one or two old guys touched it, pretending to ask for two sips of wine, and by the way. Uncle Lou didn't pay attention to it, stood on the sand pile not far away, poured a throat cutter to warm up, and then went on patrol with several dart masters.

To be precise, this is not a desert in the strict sense, but the edge of the Alxa Desert, which the Xianbei people and the Northwest people often call the Alxa Wasteland. The sparse turf resembles ringworm skin, and when the wind is strong, it blows squinting sand and dust, and occasionally there is an oasis. Wolves are often seen here at night, and these carnivorous beasts with glowing green eyes at night are incredibly bloodthirsty and crazy, and often have great endurance, following caravans for hundreds of miles, attacking horses, camels, and people when the caravan is relaxed. He was going to look around with his men to make sure the brutes hadn't followed.

Mr. Zhang and the five guards received a letter from an eagle, which recorded the information that the guards had pried out of the old doctor's mouth. Please report that the person who is looking for the old doctor is actually not the Tuoba Xi, Tuoba Xi is only an intermediary, and even Tuoba Xi's upline is not the initiator, under the actions of the iron guard and the Ti Cai, four waves of middlemen were pulled out in a row, and finally the initiator who was buried the deepest was found. Xie Shence secretly sighed that this person's mind was delicate.

Because it is generally impossible to guarantee the timeliness and accuracy of the message after changing hands more than three times, it is indeed not easy for this person to ensure the integrity of the information after passing through the hands of four intermediaries.

The letter said that the person who dug it up was indeed an assassin of the Erli people, but he did not directly attack Xie Shence when he threatened the old doctor, but to confirm his identity. Xie Shence was once hit by the tiger's tail once, leaving an extraordinarily long wound on his back, because the wound was not a knife wound, it directly broke the leather armor and applied to the back, so that the skin and flesh were broken, so it left many marks, and these scars can be seen at a glance by a discerning person. The old doctor was threatened with the surname of his family to see if there were similar scars on Xie Shence's back, the old doctor didn't know the purpose of the gangster, and the object of the peep was suspected to be an officer of the Northwest Army, so he was nervous. The old doctor has practiced medicine all his life, and he has seen a lot of robberies, but this is the first time he has seen this kind of blackmailing people with the lives of his whole family, and he is still using his own family, of course he is afraid.

In the northwest, because it is a military town and close to the border, horse bandits and thieves are quite rampant, and the people in the northwest are fierce and brave, so the public security is not very good, and robberies and other things are simply commonplace. Bandits are still extremely fearful of the general public. But what the people in the Northwest are most afraid of is the Northwest Army, because no matter how powerful the horse bandits and thieves are, they will be slaughtered when they encounter the Northwest Army. Xie Yi, the commander of the Northwest Army, once exterminated three large horse bandit groups at one time, cutting off the heads of nearly 2,000 people, and only more than 100 women and children were spared.

The old doctor touched the two most feared masters of the Northwest people at once, how could he not be afraid?

However, as soon as he was afraid, he showed his feet.

Xie Shence still despised the Erli assassin in his heart, how could there be a mistake if he casually asked for it?

IQ is a hard wound. It's too much to know.

Xie Shence despised it for a moment, and then thought about it for a while.

In this way, the assassins of the Erli people have undoubtedly determined his identity. Obviously, the people of Erli already knew that he and Xie Shenwei had come to the northwest, and a few days ago they were even sure that they had stayed in the copper furnace for a while, and then they must have followed them to the iron gate again. Xie Shence's traces have been leaked. In other words, there are even people watching his every move in this matter.

Xie Shence suddenly felt a deep uneasiness on his back. But I couldn't think of any good way to deal with it for a while.

According to the monitoring of Tie Wei and Xie Yi, the Erli man did come to the northwest alone, and the way to contact the Erli people was an eagle. Keeping eagles is a common thing in the Northwest, and slightly wealthier families will raise them to pass on the news. Therefore, there was no flaw in his contact information, and it was impossible for Xie Yi to intercept the information, but according to the intelligence, this Erli man had not delivered a single letter to the outside world for so many days, which made Xie Shence feel puzzled.

Was he worried about the interception of information? Although there are indeed sharpshooters in the Northwest Army, there are only a few, and even fewer can shoot down eagles, how can it be possible to stare at him every day? So why didn't he send the message?

The other party did not send a message, which was good news for Xie Shence, because it showed that there was only one Erli assassin who knew that he had entered the Xianbei territory, and if he found that person and killed him, the line of the Erli people would be broken. If you can make better use of it, you may even receive some unexpected surprises.

However, while he was pondering, the two uncles sat down beside him.
