Although the words on the emperor's secret decree are rude, there is no lack of truth in them, at least they are more refreshing than those holy decrees that are plain and crepe. In order to reassure Yang Zhi, the number of internal guards stationed in Yang's Mansion doubled compared to usual. The old man Yang Yan and the young lady Shen Yu also enjoyed unprecedented security treatment, and they had to be accompanied by at least six guards when they went out.

In the eyes of the discerning person, this is nothing more than a symbolic gesture of the emperor. Not to mention that Yang Zhi is famous, Zhao Qi, the prince of the prison country, usually has nothing to do in his mansion, and three of the four important ministers of the prison state have a good relationship with him, who dares to touch the old man and the young lady of the Yang Mansion? Who can afford it?

Yang Zhi looked at the secret decree and smiled and tore it apart, Shen Yu didn't know what the secret decree said, and he didn't ask anything, just silently checked his clothes and prepared for him. Yang Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Yu'er, how do you know that I'm going out?" ”

"My brother and my fourth uncle are on the march, the second uncle and the brothers just came yesterday, and the emperor's secret decree has arrived today, if the emperor has something, how can you be missing? How can you still stay at home? On that day, someone came to the door at the remote inn overnight, and I could see that you didn't stay at home for long. Men should do what men should do, and it's useless for me to drag you on. ”

Shen Yu habitually straightened his clothes, and said quietly: "Xianggong, when you go out, you must remember that there is still an old father and wife room at home waiting for you to return,...... Don't scare me like you did last time. ”

"Don't worry, I won't be going for long." Yang Zhi hugged her into his arms and said softly: "This time is no better than being alone in the desert of the desert, I will ask my second brother to bring a letter back every few days to report safety." Hello Sheng is at home waiting for me to come back,...... If it's convenient, go into the palace to accompany the princess. ”

"I haven't seen the princess for a long time, so I'll go. …… Convenient? What's inconvenient? ”

Yang Zhi only told the old man and Shen Yu in general terms that he was ordered to go out on errands. There is a way to go out with more money, except for a few changes of clothes, I only picked up 30,000 taels of silver tickets, and immediately set off after receiving the secret order, and went out of Chang'an quietly with light clothes.

He's not impatient. Anyway, I'm going, so there's no need to delay. Judging from what Qin Jiaoyang said, there must be many people in Chang'an City who don't want to see him appear in Shandong. He also knew that he couldn't hide it in the end, but he kept it from day to day. He really didn't want to miss the trip because of unnecessary trouble along the way.

This time, the emperor wantonly promoted and rewarded military generals, but he did not have his share, which in itself made many people feel dizzy. Could it be that he acted as a super bodyguard in the shadows for the emperor's "Eastern Tour"? Or was he ordered to sneak to Jinling to assassinate the Southern Tang Emperor? Let your guesswork go!

Yang Zhi secretly noticed all the way, and sure enough, as Qin Gong said, the industries involved in the Qin family were all kinds and all-encompassing. But it is clearly distinguished, and it operates in an orderly manner. Based on this alone, it can be seen that not only is Duke Qin worthy of being a dark tycoon and a business hero, but his righteous brother Qin Kongyun can take care of such a complicated and huge stall in an orderly manner, and he can be called a top wizard in business management.

Yang Zhi believes that what Qin is most worthy of his reference is that it is this model of soft power that hides a hard hand, and it is to become more and more attentive to observation. The Qin clan had the most complete and developed intelligence system in this era, as well as the most rapid and effective means of information transmission, which was of immeasurable value both in the peaceful years and in wartime.

Yang Zhi was very interested and curious about this. He does not walk with Qin Jiaoyang. Not to mention in what capacity and when to leave, sometimes along the way he walked in a store with the Qin family's emblem and stopped, sometimes buried his head in a horse and galloped wildly for several days without showing up at the Qin store, and even deliberately camped in the wilderness. It is very likely that the Qin Clan's intelligence system will also have him in the future, and he just wants to experience it for himself, how powerful it is.

The appearance of this trip is no different from that of an ordinary person in a hurry in troubled times, which seems inconspicuous, but it is not without features: a small package, an ordinary single knife, and a light ink-colored gown. And a signature lazy smile. The only things that might make you turn your head slightly are two faint scars on the face that are not very conspicuous. Yang Zhi was still quite satisfied with his appearance, and took a well-known pseudonym at random: Ma Wencai.

Although he did not rush with all his might, he did not walk slowly. After walking for **, I passed Luoyang. At noon on this day, I entered the county seat of Gongyi. He deliberately didn't go to Qin's store these days, so he casually found a small street shop as usual and asked for a few steamed buns and a few simple side dishes.

Before the meal was finished, a stout man in a short shirt came into the store and asked, "May I ask you, but Ma Gongzi from Chang'an?" ”

"I'm Ma Wencai. ...... are you? ”

"Ma Wencai? …… The name sounds familiar. ”

"Hehe, the same name as a poignant legend of a successful person with a not-so-good reputation. I don't know what you can advise? ”

"I see. The villain was ordered by the young master of my family. There is something to say to the son: What is the matter of the child's trip, the interested people in Chang'an City already know, some people have followed, and there has been some alarm on the rivers and lakes. The young master of my family, please be careful, don't be careless. ”

There is no doubt that the young master in the mouth of the stout man must be Qin Jiaoyang, and the news brought by Yang Zhi has been expected, so he is not very surprised by this. What secretly frightened him was that Qin Jiaoyang said that he could grasp his whereabouts at any time that day, and what he said was indeed true. It took him less than half an hour to enter Gongyi County, and he was found accurately. Isn't that a powerful way to track? It can be described as terrifying!

"Got it. Thank you for your care. Yang Zhi asked quietly: "I heard that the emperor has been touring the east recently, is there any relevant news?" ”

"Back to Gongzi, the young master of my family knew that Gongzi might ask, and ordered the villain to tell the truth: Since September 23, it has rained heavily in Lianghuai for several days, and the rivers, lakes and ponds have become overflowing."

The emperor waited for this heavy rain of extraordinary significance, but it was not a day or two. There are really capable people in this world who can survey the heavens and the earth and predict the celestial phenomena! Yang Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It is said that the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, but it is not the power of one person to stop it. If nothing else, since the twenty-sixth year of Wucheng in the Xia calendar, there will be no more Southern Tang Dynasty.

didn't say much at the moment, rewarded the stout man with a few taels of silver, and continued to hurry after a short rest. It only takes one day to get out of Gongyi to Zhongzhou fast horse, Yang Zhi traveled to dusk and sunset, and found a roadside wild shop to stay.

Even if Qin Jiaoyang didn't send someone to warn, Yang Zhi didn't dare to be arrogant when he walked out alone, and someone in Chang'an secretly followed him and alarmed the so-called rivers and lakes, just to send someone or hire a killer to wait for an opportunity to take his life. Killing people doesn't have to be fought with open fire, and if you are careless and capsize in the gutter, it will be too much to row. Everywhere I went, I paid more attention to the environment around me and my daily diet.

Yang Zhi went to bed after dinner, chatted and washed, and stayed in the roadside wild store that was not in front of the village or behind the store, and slept more vigilantly than usual. I slept until midnight when I faintly heard a soft sound outside the window. When I looked closely, someone had pierced the pasted window paper and put it into a thin tube.

This kind of pediatric trick that is secretly smoked has been overused in film and television dramas in the previous life. Abuse is indiscriminate, but it doesn't mean it doesn't work. Yang Zhi held his breath, got up, poured a cup of tea, wet the corners of his clothes to cover his mouth and nose, and slammed the window open. A ghostly white figure flashed in front of him, and he actually flew back upside down in the air, hanging in the air!

At this time, it was pitch black all around, and the clear and audible insect chirping made the wild shop more and more terrifying. Rao is Yang Zhi's eyesight is amazing, and he can only vaguely see the white figure with his hair scattered, and there are faint blood stains on his face and placket. He muttered gloomily: "The surname Yang, I died so miserably, you give me back my life!" ”

No matter who you are, you will inevitably feel a little crazy when you see this scene at first glance. Yang Zhi settled down, jumped out of the window and stood up and asked, "Brother, aren't you tired and panicked when you hang in the air like this and pretend to be a ghost?" Why don't you come down and take a break? I've killed a lot of people in my life, I don't know where my brother is wronged? ”

“…… I am Li Yingsi, who died unjustly and tragically, you will return my life! Give me my life! ”

"Oh, it turns out that you are the unlucky child of An Guihou's family!" Yang Zhi said helplessly: "It's not that I refuse to admit it, but that you found the wrong person." I remember you were torn in half by Geng Chao? Why is there a tailor in the underworld who sews up the corpses? ”

When he was talking nonsense, he could already see that there were two people behind the big tree in front of him on the left. I picked up a stone on the ground and shook it, and said with a smile: "I heard that ghosts can't be beaten by ordinary people, but I want to give it a try." ”

"You...... You....... The "dead ghost" hanging in the air was shocked, but before Yang Zhi's words fell, he threw the stone out of his hand, and at this moment, he jumped high and slashed in the air directly above the head of the "dead ghost"!

I saw a splash of sparks in the air, and a dark steel wire the thickness of a little finger had been split. The "dead ghost" was hit by a stone and fell to the ground like a scale. The hands of the two people hidden behind the tree suddenly lost their strength, and they couldn't help falling out. Yang Zhi didn't even have the slightest intention of interrogating, followed by the merciless hand of the knife, and the two of them snorted and settled the account.

Without blinking his eyes, he turned around and walked towards the dead ghost lying on the ground: "Since my brother likes to be a ghost so much, let's go on the road with your two brothers!" ”

"Don't kill me!" The dead ghost suddenly trembled with fright, and begged again and again: "As long as you don't kill me, I will tell you everything I know!" Please don't kill me! ”

"I'm sorry, man. I'm afraid this matter is not negotiable. Yang Zhi smiled playfully: "Goods like you are so low-grade, so low that I have no interest in what you know." It doesn't matter who sent you, but you definitely didn't come on the orders of the Marquis of An. No matter how stupid An Guihou is, he will not be so stupid! ”

Early the next morning, Yang Zhi ate breakfast peacefully, as if nothing had happened last night. The shopkeeper stepped forward tremblingly and asked carefully, "Guest officer, what are the ...... behind the small shophouse?" Did you kill a few thieves? ”

"yes!" Yang Zhi gulped down the steaming noodles and said without raising his head: "What's the matter?" Do you want to thank me for waiving my store money?
