At the side gate of the Ningyuan County Mansion, two Jingzhou soldiers walked out of the mansion in a row, raising their heads and chests, walking in unison, and their faces were stern.

Chang Ge, who was guarding the gate, suddenly fell, and a man dressed in the tunchang standard armor shouted and asked, "Which one is it?" How can it be in the house? ”

"Report to the chief of the tun, his subordinates are under the command of the chief of Liu Tun of the 325th tun, and he was ordered to send some salt into the house."

Natun Chang frowned. "How many songs does 325 Tun belong to?"

The soldier's face did not change, and the response was like a stream: "Belong to the 115th song, the seventy-eighth part!" ”

"Password!"

"The Barbarian King of Wuxi!"

Hearing this, the chief finally showed a smile and calmed down. "Brothers have worked hard, go back and return to your life!"

"No!"

The two soldiers answered in unison, and then walked out of the side door with neat steps, and gradually disappeared into the night, but as soon as they turned a corner, the two of them suddenly ran away, and ran to a secluded corner with a few turns.

After a while, Wang Xu's complaining voice sounded: "Dian Wei, you guy, weren't you quite powerful before?" Why is it getting worse and worse, and I was almost discovered by that Liu Min! ”

"This armor is too ill-fitting, it's hanging!" Dian Wei explained in a suppressed voice.

"No, it's not good, there are so many excuses, your martial arts are higher than mine, but your brain is not as clever as mine, it's true!"

Dian Wei's face was full of grievances: "This is natural, I can't help it!" ”

"Alright, alright! Let's go, I hope Liu Min won't associate the events of that day with today, otherwise you will be guilty of a great crime! ”

As he spoke, Wang Xu quickly took off the armor on his body. Gently place it aside. There were two unconscious lying on their stomachs. A sleek man. "Brother, I borrowed your clothes today, I'm sorry!"

The two didn't speak again, and hurried back to the hotel, only to find that Ling Wanqing had not rested, waiting with candles. Hearing the footsteps in the courtyard, she opened the door and smiled: "Lord." Is there a catch? ”

Wang Xu said with a smile: "I didn't have any big gains, so I went to the backyard of the county government for a few walks, but Liu Min has already noticed the problem and should have found something!" What about you? I don't sleep so late, is there a situation over there? ”

Ling Wanqing nodded sternly: "Hmm! The spy found out from the barbarian insiders that among the warriors who died on this trip, there was Shamoke's own brother, and the parents of the two died early and depended on each other, so the relationship was very good. His younger brother also listened almost entirely to Shamoko. So now it can be ruled out that Shamoko himself is in trouble, after all, he doesn't need to take his own brother's life. ”

"That's right. And what about the possibility that the barbarian warriors leaked the news? Wang Xu asked.

"It's small, so small that the chance of it happening is almost none!" Ling Wanqing said with certainty: "The personal warriors of the old barbarian king are all the children of his relatives, and all of them have been raised by the old barbarian king himself, and they respect and worship the old barbarian king very much. At the same time, they also admired Shamoko, because although Shamoko was young, he was the most powerful warrior in Wuximan, and he also had wisdom, so he was extremely prestigious. ”

"These barbarian guards all grew up with Shamoke, and the old barbarian king cultivated this group of young people, I am afraid that he himself is used to assist Shamoke in commanding the barbarians, coupled with the barbarians' fanatical belief in the totem of their own clan, comprehensive analysis, the possibility is very small."

After hearing this, Wang Xu did not express his opinion, and was silent for a long time before he said softly: "No matter how low the possibility is, it is possible after all, but the main focus can be on Liu Min's side." ”

"Don't worry, the lord has instructed the local spy to inquire about the situation of the old barbarian king when he was in Ningyuan County. If the barbarians themselves leaked the news, then the only chance was for the old barbarian king to leave the county government and rest in the post house for one night. Because once out of the city, the barbarian warriors are all gathered together, and it is too dangerous to contact others. ”

As she spoke, Ling Wanqing frowned slightly. "The opinion of the subordinates is to strictly investigate the inn and its vicinity, and try to know the whereabouts of all the barbarian warriors on that day."

"Yes!" Wang Xu smiled slightly, but then shook his head and said: "But the harvest will not be very big, this kind of thing must be done secretly, it is difficult for anyone to notice, I mention a Jianyi, you can check the surroundings to see if there are strangers who often wander during that time." ”

"Hmm!" In response, Ling Wanqing didn't pause, and continued: "There is one more thing that I have to report to the lord, that is, when the spy was inquiring near the county government, he accidentally learned from the people that some time ago, there was a handsome young man who often haunted that there was a young man. Because the accent of the man was somewhat different, and he was also handsome, many people noticed him. ”

"Oh?" Wang Xu was stunned. "How old is this person?"

"It is said that he is in his twenties, eight feet tall, and his accent is somewhat like that of the Lujiang River, but not all, and the Luoyang accent is also some." Ling Wanqing replied in detail.

"Lujiang? Luoyang? Wang Xu's brows furrowed tightly. Is it a businessman? Or those heroes of the green forest? ”

Ling Wanqing shook her head: "It shouldn't be, a girl said that the person was very good, and he didn't bring any goods, he didn't have any contact with any vendors, he just traveled around alone." He also lived in a Yaju restaurant not too far from the county government, and according to the store's recollection, he read books when he had nothing to do, not like a hero, but more like a traveling young man. ”

"Huh! This is really a bit of a coincidence, the roving young man of the Shi clan? Wang Xu sneered, and then said sharply: "Focus on this person, it's best to find someone to draw his portrait." Since this person is very handsome, then look for those girls who have met him and are more impressed, women are more attentive and have less deviations in appearance. ”

"No!" Ling Wanqing bowed. "Lord, if there is nothing else, then the slave family will go back to rest first."

"Hmmm! Go ahead. Wang Xu smiled softly: "Remember to cover the quilt and don't catch a cold!" ”

Ling Wanqing's delicate body trembled. "Thank you for your concern!"

Nothing was said all night.

At noon the next day, Wang Xu had just returned from wandering the street, and was laughing with Dian Wei, Huang Xu, Liao Hua and others, when Ling Wanqing hurriedly pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

Without waiting for Wang Xu to say hello, he quickly closed the door of the courtyard and rushed to the front: "Lord, my subordinates need your warrant to inform Guo Junshi to immediately close Ningyuan County." A city-wide search. ”

"What's going on?" Wang Xu frowned.

Ling Wanqing didn't have time to explain. He said quickly: "My lord." Let's do it first, maybe I'll have time to go with the warrant now! ”

"No warrant!" Wang Xu fully showed his trust, and decisively ordered: "Dian Wei, you personally go to the military camp to find Guo Jia, let him close Ning Yuan, and not allow a fly to go out, but only the military division knows that I have come." ”

"No!" Dian Wei gave up his hand and hurried away.

Only then did Wang Xu turn around. He looked at Ling Wanqing with burning eyes: "What? Catchy? ”

"Hmm!" Ling Wanqing nodded, took a deep breath, and said softly: "Lord, the portrait of that person has been drawn, and it has been transmitted to the local spy department for the first time, and it has been reported by a person, I have seen this person near the East City Gate yesterday evening, and I am very impressed by him. ”

"I'll look at the portrait!" Wang Xu waved his sleeves.

Ling Wanqing did not hesitate, and unfolded the Cai Lun paper in her hand.

After a quick sweep, Wang Xu remembered the appearance of this person. opened his mouth and asked: "Why is that spy department member so impressed?" ”

"Because he is very much like a person, the spy department used to serve in Luoyang in his early years. Before Dong Zhuo's chaos, the lord asked all the Luoyang spy shadows to withdraw, and he was transferred to Jingnan, this person is very similar to a minister he saw in Luoyang back then! ”

Wang Xu was suddenly surprised, and asked urgently: "Like whom!" ”

"The former Luoyang Ling Zhou is different!"

"Zhou Yi?" Wang Xu was stunned, and his head searched for clues to this person in the electric light. "I haven't seen this person, do you have any information about this person?"

"Yes!" Ling Wanqing was crisp and neat, and continued: "Zhou Yi, the late former Taiwei Zhou Jingcongzi, the younger brother of Zhou Zhong, a native of Shu County, Lujiang, the eldest son Zhou Yu, currently working for Sun Jian, and Sun Ce are sworn brothers, Zhou ......"

"Wait! Wait a minute! ”

Before Ling Wanqing could finish speaking, Wang Xu had already interrupted in a hurry and asked again, "What did you say his eldest son's name was?" ”

"Zhou Yu!"

"How old is this young man in the portrait?" Wang Xu asked again.

"Weak crown, about twenty years old!" As she spoke, Ling Wanqing was already looking at him deeply. "The lord thinks it's ......"

This time, Wang Xu didn't speak for a long time, and only sighed leisurely for a while: "Although it's all speculation, but nine times out of ten it's Zhou Yu, otherwise how can there be such a strange thing, it happens to appear in Ningyuan County, and it happens to look like that Luoyang Ling Zhou, and it happens to be in his twenties?" ”

Liao Hua had just entered Jingzhou and was not very familiar with it, so he didn't react much, but Ling Wanqing and Huang Xu were already shocked, and they both understood the complexity of this matter.

After all, Huang Xu was young and had little experience, so he hesitantly interjected: "Isn't this Jiangdong Sun family good with the main bus?" How could such a thing be done at this time? ”

"It doesn't have to be impossible!" Wang Xu shook his head, but he didn't explain much, his eyes flashed. "Maybe the development momentum of Jingzhou is really threatening."

Ling Wanqing obviously understood the deep meaning, and hesitated: "Then what now?" If this is the case, the relationship between the two families will inevitably break down, and what if the barbarians are not exposed? ”

Wang Xu did not hesitate for a moment, and said decisively: "Whether it is Sun Jian or Sun Ce's meaning, it must not be exposed now, I can only turn a blind eye, the relationship between the two families must be stabilized, but I doubt that this matter is the intention of the Sun family." ”

"Because Sun Jian is now trying to maintain peace with me, he has not been married to me for a long time, it is unlikely that he will use this method with a high probability of detection, and it is more likely that his subordinates will make their own decisions."

"Your Majesty? Do your subordinates dare too? Ling Wanqing was a little skeptical.

"If others don't dare, Zhou Yu will dare!" Wang Xu said fiercely: "This son is a hundred times more talented than his father, he acts decisively, if he thinks it is necessary to do this, he will do it!" ”

"But if it happens, won't he be dead!" Huang Xu took over and said.

"This man is not afraid of death!" Wang Xu shook his head. "In his mind, there is only success or failure, no life and death! He chose the Sun family to follow, so even if he died, he would clear an obstacle for the Sun family! Even if this matter happens, he will inevitably take care of it alone, and this kind of person is the most difficult to deal with! ”
