Xiao Yao knew that Dewey was testing himself, otherwise if he really wanted to catch himself, he would have done it directly just now, and now he was walking at the forefront of the team with him, it seemed that he believed that he would not be unfavorable to him, but on the one hand, he also controlled the eldest lady and others in his cavalry.

"Brother Du, I am really innocent, the death of Gongzi Kang and the murder of Kang Qincha have nothing to do with me." Xiao Yao looked at Dewey with an innocent face.

"Of course I know your character, brother, and you will definitely not do such a reckless thing, but I am afraid that some people in the DPRK have ulterior motives." Dewey said earnestly.

But Xiao Yao immediately heard a few keys from Dewey's words, first of all, whether he killed Kang Qincha or not, this is not the point, as long as he does not leave traces of recklessness, there is no problem, and secondly, there are people in the court who have ulterior motives, that is, many people in the court do not care about Kang Qincha's life or death, so what do they care about?

But Xiao Yao still has a basic judgment, first of all, Dewey doesn't want to do anything to himself, and secondly, he still wants to win himself over like last time.

"Please also ask Brother Du for guidance, Xiao is really a little hesitant when he hears you say this." Xiao Yao immediately looked frightened.

"It's not difficult, if Brother Xiao is the inner guard with the emperor's order, and someone says this, then it really has ulterior motives." Dewey looked at Xiao Yao and finally said the most crucial words.

In fact, Xiao Yao has always been very resistant to joining this kind of secret organization, he is used to being free, and he doesn't want to be a secret agent like the East Factory and the West Factory, but there is also the Prime Minister behind Kang Qincha, and he can't just be a bachelor, and this Dewey is obviously not here to help the surname Kang, so it is someone or someone used by the emperor to spy on Kang Qincha.

If he doesn't accept Dewey's invitation now, then he will have to face the group headed by the prime minister alone, and accepting the invitation is standing with the people behind Dewey.

It's just that I don't know which big man is standing behind him, shouldn't he be directly responsible to the emperor?

Xiao Yao's mind turned quickly, and he quickly made an assessment of this, and then looked at Dewey very embarrassed, "Brother Du, I thank you very much for your help, but I am used to wandering on the rivers and lakes, unrestrained, and free and loose, I am afraid that I will not be able to be those guards who go to the Yamen every day to order Mao." ”

Hearing Xiao Yao's words, Dewey's eyes lit up obviously, Xiao Yao's words seemed to be a refusal, but in fact, what he said was that Xiao Yao didn't want to be a famous guard, and he could only be a secret guard.

Dewey looked at Xiao Yao knowingly, "Brother Xiao, how can you be sent to do some rough work like you, the above will definitely arrange an errand for you that everyone is satisfied with, you can rest assured, Du can definitely guarantee you!" ”

Dewey's answer seems to be nothing, but it reveals the key information, that is, the specific way of working will definitely satisfy Xiao Yao, and the content of the work will have to satisfy the above.

Xiao Yao immediately said knowingly, "Then it's up to Brother Du." ”

Dewey laughed, in a good mood, "They are all their own brothers, Brother Xiao will not be polite to me in the future." ”

Immediately said solemnly: "But there is one thing you have to remember, Brother Xiao, you joined our forbidden army guards before the Witch and Ghost Conference, and our department is called the Shadow Blood Guard, which is divided into two parts: the Shadow Guard and the Blood Guard, and we are in the Shadow Guard." ”

"I am the third person in the Shadow Guard T-brand, codenamed Ding San, and you are Ding Twelve. This is the mission of our shadow guard, we are only responsible for the investigation, not the implementation of specific incidents. ”

As he spoke, Dewey took out a copper token from his bosom, which was engraved with the words "Ding Twelve" on the front and "Ding Twelve" on the back, and the front and back of the perimeter were a very complex carving process.

Xiao Yao took the bronze medal from Dewey's hand, and looked at it carefully, the bronze medal was very exquisite, but this was not a brand new token, it was obviously used by someone for a long time, and some corners obviously showed signs of wear.

"This is the token of the previous codename Ding Twelve Brothers, he died in a mission, so this code name has been empty, according to my rights, I can only absorb four third-class guards, and you can only temporarily fill this vacancy." Dewey spoke of these obvious emotions with some fluctuation.

"Brother Du, since Xiao has won this bronze medal, he will never fail his brother." Xiao Yao looked at Dewey and said categorically.

On the rest of the road, Xiao Yao and Dewey were obviously much more relaxed, and Dewey did not ask Xiao Yao for specific personal information, but Xiao Yao knew that this guy had already investigated in detail.

And this team of forbidden troops did not want to enter the mountains this time to investigate the detailed reasons for Kang Qincha's killing, but received an order from the imperial court and went back to Fangxizhou directly.

But at this time, Miao Jiang is no longer the Miao Jiang of the past, there are still at least ten days away from Xizhou, if there is a war during this time, then Xiao Yao's group of people is very likely to become a funeral object.

Xiao Yao understood the reason for this, so Dewey could naturally think of it, so he asked each cavalry to prepare a reserve horse in case of any emergency.

It's just that fortunately, there are countless large and small Tusi in Miaojiang, some of them are canonized by the imperial court, and some are simply self-reliant as Tusi, so although they passed through many areas of different forces along the way, no one dared to rashly provoke disputes, and Dewey also chose a small village to rest as much as possible, so as not to really face a relatively large village and some uncontrollable situations.

Xiao Yao and his entourage walked with Dewey's forbidden army for four days, among which Ghost Face and Wang Lu did not leave, and Xiao Yao even briefly introduced the situation of the two of them to Dewey.

Obviously, the two of them can't go back to their original places, and if Ghost Face returns to the Wuyi Sect, he will immediately become an accomplice of King Miao, while Wang Lu will take on the responsibility of protecting Kang Qin's poor behavior.

Dewey didn't care, and he didn't even care that Xiao Yao had killed many of Wang Lu's forbidden soldiers, but with a stroke of the pen, the two of them became informants after Dewey entered Miao Jiang, but it was the miracle doctor that Xiao Yao thought would leave, and he didn't have any idea of resigning along the way.

Although Hu Yiyi was also worried about the things in the sect, he didn't hear the news of the Poison Dragon Sect suffering trouble along the way, but the Wuyi faction helped King Miao attack the Wushen Temple, which became the target of public criticism, and three of the four major toasts openly drew a line with the Wuyi faction.

Xiao Yao knew that this time he had given himself a chance, and with Dewey's help, his future affairs would be much easier, but at the same time, he was tied to Dewey's group, and he was no longer the free and easy self he was.

The most important thing now is to send the eldest lady back to the Central Plains safely, without Dewey's help, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble along the way.

Along the way, Dewey didn't let Xiao Yao do anything, obviously, Dewey's cavalry didn't know Dewey's true identity, so they just regarded Xiao Yao and the others as Dewey's friends, and everyone was in a hurry to rush back to the Central Plains, after all, everyone knew more or less about the current situation in Miao Jiang.

After four days, he didn't encounter any trouble, but Xiao Yao still saw from Dewey's cautious actions that the situation in Miaojiang must be very complicated, and since Dewey was not a person from the faction surnamed Kang, there would be people in the DPRK who opposed Dewey, and he definitely didn't want to see Dewey return to the Central Plains safely with this group of cavalry.

Xiao Yao's worries were finally verified on the fifth day, although Dewey made the soldiers look as cold and arrogant as possible along the way, but at the same time avoided any conflicts with the tribes of Miaojiang, but the trouble that should have come was still not avoided after all.

At noon on the fifth day after the group set out on the road, the group was walking on a section of official road, but a temporary sentry suddenly appeared in front of them, and even simple fortifications were built around it, a steep slope to stop the cavalry charge, and there were arrow towers on both sides.

Seeing this, Xiao Yao immediately thought that the other party was most likely aimed at his own side, so he arranged it like this. Dewey drove his horse to stop beside Xiao Yao, looking at the fortifications in front of which were obviously built recently, and Dewey completely lost his usual laughter, if he couldn't bring the cavalry back, Dewey not only faced the responsibility of protecting the Qincha, but also faced the responsibility of annihilating this group of cavalry.

Moreover, Miaojiang is mainly a mountainous area, and it is difficult for the cavalry to carry out a frontal charge, and now this official road is between the two mountains, so the cavalry cannot do fan-shaped deployment at all, and those temporary fortifications will simply take the cavalry who rush up as a target.

Xiao Yao felt that the biggest question was not here, but what the other party wanted to do, whether to simply stop his group or really want to annihilate this group of cavalry.

It is very likely that the other party will be the former, but as long as his party cannot return to the Central Plains, the result of annihilation can be imagined, unless there will be no war between the imperial court and Miao Jiang.

This is obviously Xiao Yao's wishful thinking, and those senior officials in the imperial court will only use Kang Qincha's death as an excuse to send troops, how can they care about the life or death of these more than 100 cavalrymen. Dewey also obviously thought of this, it seems that it is very likely that something is happening outside, and Dewey does not have an intelligence system in Miaojiang, so he does not know a lot of information from the outside world.

"If there is a war in Xizhou, then these Miao troops will attack us directly, and now the most likely thing is that the imperial court has blocked the road in and out of Miao Jiang." Xiao Yao said to Dewey.

"We are still about ten days away from Xizhou, and although we are still in the territory of King Miao, many Miao tribes here have a close relationship with Peng's Tusi. So they must have been instructed by Peng's toast to do so. Dewey also began to analyze the current situation.
