"I can't talk about it, but I do have a way." Huang Xu, who had been prepared, smiled at the corner of his mouth and said slightly.

On the periphery of the street, it was not only General Wang Ping, who was in charge of public security in the city, who heard the news, but even Ma Yan, who was regarded as Zhuge Liang's left arm, also rushed over.

The sudden appearance of assassins outside the Prime Minister's Mansion and the killing of twenty patrol soldiers had already alarmed two of them. After a little discussion, in order to fear that the killer would flee and the consequences would be endless, General Wang Ping urgently transferred 500 city defense troops and completely surrounded the vicinity.

It is conceivable that with these soldiers as auxiliaries, even if the killer is hidden underground, it may be found.

"Search, look for it from house to house, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find someone for me." Wang Ping held the saber in one hand and said with a serious face.

There were already soldiers guarding the four directions to make sure that not even a single fly could fly.

"General Wang, tell the soldiers to search carefully and carefully, the murderer should be in these alleys, and he can't escape." Ma Tan made his own suggestion to Wang Ping.

"Please rest assured, Master Ma, I have already surrounded this place, and the murderer will not be able to escape. I just don't know if you have any suspicions about the murderer? Wang Ping knew Ma Yan's ability, knew that this person's intelligence was appreciated very much by the prime minister, so he asked this question.

"Hehe, General Wang, I saw those corpses just now, most of them were pierced through the heart with a strong crossbow arrow, their speed is so fast, and the accuracy of the target is really rare, and from the information I got from the prime minister, it seems that only the Zhang family special army has such a ability." Ma Jian smiled, but his heart was very excited.

Although he hasn't met yet, in fact, he has only heard about the Zhang family's special army for a long time, and knows that this is also one of the prime minister's heart diseases, and if they can be ambushed here, it must be a great achievement.

"Oh, the very mysterious Zhang family special forces of the Celestial Empire?" When Wang Ping heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he naturally thought that this was an opportunity to make great contributions.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the soldier became even more nervous in his search.

The search of each house soon searched the alley in front of me, but did not find any suspicious people or suspicious places. Just when Wang Ping and Ma Jian were thinking about going to another surrounded alley to take a look, a soldier had already come to his knees and said, "Two adults, go over there and have a look, there is a dispute over there." ”

"What's the situation, go and see." Ma Jian reacted very quickly, and felt that it was very important to tell him that something must have happened there.

At the exit of another alley, at this moment, General Busy Tooth, who was wearing a military uniform of the Southern Barbarian Army, was negotiating something with eight personal soldiers and the Xishu soldiers who were in charge of guarding here.

"What are you doing, why are you blocking me from waiting out, tell you, this general has military affairs, if you delay our time here and miss our king's big business, you can't afford to bear it." The busy tooth chief shouted very strongly.

And the commander of the Xishu army on the opposite side is also not giving an inch, he just knows that the current task is to be responsible for guarding here, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, even if he is a Nanban soldier.

Of course, this commander also knew that now that their Xishu and Nanban were in a united state, they would not be offended much, so when he saw that the busy tooth chief and others appeared, he arranged for his subordinates to report to Wang Ping and Ma Jian early.

"I'm sorry, busy general, our task is to be responsible for guarding here, no one is allowed to enter or leave, at least the general has something urgent to do, I think it's better to wait for our General Wang to come over and talk to each other." The commander spoke politely, but he just looked at his actions, and he didn't mean to let people go because of this.

"Nonsense, where General Ben wants to go has to go with the consent of our General Wang, it's really a joke, tell you, get out of the way now, otherwise, don't blame me for being polite." The busy tooth chief said angrily, and between his tone and attitude, he was extremely angry.

Seeing that the busy tooth chief was about to draw his sword, the commander did not let it go at all, and immediately put his hand on the saber, not only that, but the Xishu soldiers behind him also stepped forward one after another, posing as if they would do it at any time.

Just as the arrows on both sides were fighting, a shout came from not far away, "What's the matter?" What happened? ”

As the words fell, a group of people came from afar, and the leaders were Ma Jian and Wang Ping.

The commander couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the adults and generals coming, although he was not afraid of the busy teeth in front of him, but he also knew that if he really moved, he was afraid that he would hurt the harmony of the two armies, and in this way, the crime would be very big.

"General Wang, Lord Ma, here's the thing..."The commander had already trotted in front of him and told a rough idea of what had happened.

Ma Tan and Wang Ping saw that they were busy and had to force their way out, so they couldn't help but stride forward. There was still a little distance away, and General Wang Ping had already taken the lead in speaking: "It turned out to be a busy general, but I don't know why you are here?" ”

"What? Could it be that this is your house, and I can't even show up? Tell you, General Ben came to the city to purchase silk and spices for his wife on the order of the king of my family, and this is the place to copy the road, but I didn't expect to be blocked here soon after entering the alley, I came to ask General Wang, why is this? Why block us? The busy tooth chief asked preemptively, with a very aggrieved expression.

"Purchasing items?" After hearing this, Wang Ping was a little skeptical.

Ma Yan, who was on the side, stepped forward with a smile and said: "Busy general, you are a close minister of the Nanban King, and you are also his guard general, how can you personally go out for such a trivial matter as procurement?" I remember you had a dedicated procurement officer. ”

"Huh." When he said this, the busy tooth chief actually smiled, and then took two steps forward, came to Ma Yan's side and whispered: "Master Ma doesn't know, our lady suddenly got angry with the king, and now the two of them don't even speak, our king is thinking about how to please him, so he sent me, I hope this matter is not public, otherwise, hehe, you know."

The busy tooth chief suddenly found such a reason, which caused Ma Jian to be stunned.

At least this kind of reason is reasonable because of reason, there was a misunderstanding in the Prime Minister's Mansion just now, and it is indeed unreasonable to say that Meng Shu and Zhu Rong did not speak. And in order to please his wife, it is also reasonable for Meng to buy some things to please his ministers.

The reason was sufficient, and Ma Jian couldn't say anything, but his eyes were indeed on the eight people who followed behind the busy tooth chief, and he always had a feeling that those assassins should have something to do with the nine Nanban people who suddenly appeared.

Seeing that Ma Tan let himself go and went straight to his team, the busy tooth chief said with a displeased face: "What's the matter, Master Ma, General Wang, I have already told you what happened and the reason, do you still have to embarrass me and embarrass our Southern Barbarian Army?" ”

"Where, where, it's just a little bit going on here, we need to investigate everyone who passes through here, and we don't mean to target the busy general." After hearing the words of the busy tooth, Ma Tan turned around and explained with a smile.

"Okay, even if it's not aimed at us, then we should be able to leave." Busy tooth long grabbed this sentence and asked urgently.

"Well, I still need to check it." Ma Jian asked General Wang Ping with a smile.

"Of course, it's to be checked." At this moment, of course, Wang Ping replied very cooperatively.

"Check? What to check? I tell you, these are my own soldiers, and they also belong to the Southern Barbarian Army series, if you insist on checking, this general will think that you are trying to provoke the dignity of our Southern Barbarian Army, at that time, this general will have to report the matter to our king, and if anything happens at that time, the two of you will need to be responsible. Busy Tooth said angrily.

"Well, of course we're responsible for what went wrong." When Ma Yan said this, he suddenly said to General Wang Ping on the side in a cold voice: "General Wang, what are you waiting for, don't search these people properly." ”

"Someone, come forward and search." It was at this moment that Wang Ping gave orders to his soldiers.

A team of fifty soldiers had already stepped forward to surround Huang Xu's eight people, and then there was a body search.

The speed of the inspection was very fast, and I am afraid that it was also because Wang Ping knew that this was a friendly army after all, and it was not good to overdo it. After a search, it was found that there was nothing suspicious about the eight of them except for the weapons they were carrying, and the commander stepped back and said, "There is nothing wrong. ”

This so-called inspection is just to find out if they have any crossbow arrows on them, and now that they have not been found, of course there is no problem.

"Humph!" A few steps away, the busy tooth chief couldn't help but snort angrily, showing the dissatisfaction in his heart. And at this moment, he even said: "Now that I have searched and searched, I have not found any problems, what else can I do?" ”

"Even if there is no problem, release the person." Ma Jian also knew that the matter could not be passed, even if he did not find the weapon he was looking for, of course, he had to release the people.

"Master Ma, can you let these soldiers take off their clothes and check them?" Wang Ping did not forget that when he inspected the corpses of the twenty people who had died, he saw that their swords were stained with blood, which should have also injured the assassins, and if it was found that the soldiers led by the Busy Tooth Army were wounded, it would be considered a kind of evidence.
