Ask for a commuter pass

Chapter 872 rummaged through a country

Chen Xiaoru rubbed his frowning brows and sighed slightly when he went out, and Cui Zhongzhen, who went out with him, glanced at him and asked, "What, do you think this matter has a headache?" ”

Chen Xiaoru shook his head: "I think those who spread the cult are going to be unlucky, and it is rare to see him so angry after following the lord for so long." I'm going to go back and get some people together...... I just came back, and I have to leave again tomorrow morning. Tonight, I have to send someone to explore the way overnight, and I can't get to Anxian County after what the lord asks me, I don't know what to ask. ”

Cui Zhongzhen sighed: "The work of the Xiao Riding School is really hard. ”

Chen Xiaoru smiled: "Enjoy it too." ”

Cui Zhongzhen was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "That's the best thing." ”

Chen Xiaoru hugged his fists and then left first, and after going back, he first picked some capable people and rushed to Anxian overnight. That place is 800 miles away from the camp of Zhuque Mountain, at the junction of Huangyang Road and Beihui Road, it used to be a place where three things didn't matter, but since Beihui Road was taken over by the Black Flag Army, the law and order has gradually improved.

Early the next morning, Fang Xie changed into dry clothes, clapped his hands, and the white lion swept from a distance, holding a hare that he didn't know where to catch it in his mouth, swallowed it in two mouthfuls, and then lowered his body and waited for Fang Xie to come up.

Outside the door, 500 soldiers of the Jingbu Battalion and 200 Xiao Cavalry School have been prepared. After Fang Xie went out, seven hundred elites saluted in unison, and then turned over and mounted their horses. The Jingbu Battalion and the Xiao Riding School are equipped with good horses from the Western Regions, with horses like dragons, and people are also majestic, looking like rainbows.

The soldiers of the Jingbu battalion wore dark blue uniforms, black leather armor, and were equipped with long lances, horizontal knives, crossbows, and recently a short gun each. The people of the Xiao Riding School are dark blue brocade clothes, big red cloaks, and the equipment is basically the same as that of the Jingbu Battalion.

These 700 men and horses gathered together, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them in four words: mighty and majestic.

Fang Xie rode the white lion and rushed out of the city first, and the seven hundred elites immediately rode away. After leaving the camp, the team ran east along the official road, and the pedestrians on the road looked sideways when they saw the procession passing by. Especially the fiery red battle flag held high at the front, which is so eye-catching.

The people of Huangyang Road have become accustomed to living under the protection of the Black Flag Army, and there is a heartfelt awe of the Black Flag Army in their hearts. When the people working in the fields saw the procession passing, some people couldn't help but cheer.

A little boy who looked to be only six or seven years old stood on the side of the road, watching the passing procession raise his right arm and lay it across his chest and give a military salute, the expression on his face was so solemn.

There was no turmoil along the way, and the team arrived in Anxian County in seven days. Riding lightly, more than 100 miles a day is actually not too fast. The people who came first from the Xiao Riding School answered along the road, and when they arrived in Anxian County, the news was basically clear.

Although it was not the first time that Qianhu of the Xiao Riding School named Liao Sheng had seen Fang Jie, it was inevitable that he was still a little nervous and restrained. The first was that he felt a little overwhelmed in front of Fang Jie, and the second was that the white lion was too majestic and intimidating. There is no ordinary person who can do thousands of households in the Xiao Riding School, and there must be something outstanding when you call it out.

This Liao Sheng's biggest ability is to track and explore. Speaking of which, if the big dog is still there, it will not be someone else's turn. After the death of the big dog, Chen Xiaoru accidentally found such a talent in the Xiao Riding School and gradually promoted it. Now it is one of the 12,000 households of Xiao Riding School.

That's right, the Xiao Riding School now has 12,000 households, and the scale is amazing.

What you need to know is that the spy organization that travels all over the world is not included in the Xiao Riding School, which shows that Fang Xie attaches great importance to intelligence.

"Lord, the news has almost been clarified."

After Liao Sheng saluted, he sorted out what he should say in his mind, Chen Xiaoru had told him before, try to be concise and to the point when reporting to the lord, and don't talk nonsense.

Twenty days ago, General Xiahou led his troops through Anxian County, preparing to exterminate the cult along the way, and the army broke through a village where cultists gathered, capturing more than 300 people, including four thieves. That night, a thief infiltrated the military camp to assassinate the generals, two generals of the fifth grade, one from the fourth grade Guo Yilang general, and one from the fourth grade Ying Yang Lang will be killed. General Xiahou was seriously wounded, but he had woken up a few days ago. ”

He glanced at Fang Xie and found that the lord listened very carefully and then continued: "Before the lord set off, Lord Du Hu ordered his subordinates to investigate first, and after the subordinates inquired, it was determined that the thief who committed the assassination was the leader of the cult. ”

"There are 16,000 people in the county seat of Anxian County, and after investigation, at least 30 percent of them have joined the cult, and their subordinates have limited manpower and cannot go from house to house, but before they came down, General Xiahou's subordinates had already taken all the people who believed in the cult and locked them up in the county government of Anxian County, and some of them were also in prison."

"The information now comes to speculate that the thieves have fled the county seat of Anxian after the first assassination, but the subordinates sent people to interrogate them on the official roads in the territory of Anxian County, and no one has seen the suspicious people leave, so the subordinates are sure that these assassins are still in the territory of Anxian County. There are five large towns and twelve small towns, 166 villages, with a total population of 190,000. ”

Liao Sheng paused and said, "My subordinates have marked the village where the thieves may be hiding on the map, and the nearest village has been sent to investigate. ”

Fang Xie took the map and glanced at it: "It's a good job, it's not easy to straighten out the most basic things in a short period of time." You tell Chen Xiaoru in detail about the situation, I have to go to see Xiahou first. ”

Liao Sheng hurriedly agreed, followed Fang Jie, and whispered to Chen Xiaoru about the more detailed situation.

……

……

Xiahou Baichuan's injuries are indeed very serious, if it weren't for his own martial arts, I am afraid that this time it will be difficult to escape. The wound was on the left chest, and if it wasn't for his quick reaction, his heart would have been shattered. Seeing Fang Xie coming in, Xiahou Baichuan struggled to sit up, Fang Xie hurriedly walked over and helped him up: "Lie down and talk." ”

Someone came over and moved a stool and put it next to the bed, Fang Xie sat down and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Xiahou Baichuan said with a wry smile: "I lost the face of the lord, I came over in the wind and waves, and I was not injured in the battle on the battlefield, but I almost lost my life in such a small place as Anxian." However, the subordinates were lucky enough to avoid that blow. Among the Jianghu guests accompanying the army were people with superb medical skills, and thanks to his diagnosis and treatment, there was no major problem. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "Recuperate, I won't let your blood flow in vain." ”

He looked at Xiahou Baichuan's injury, and because he was wrapped in gauze, he couldn't identify what kind of means he was injured: "What did the person who stabbed you look like at that time?" Do you remember how to shoot? ”

Xiahou Baichuan recalled and said: "At that time, my subordinates were just about to sleep, and I heard someone outside calling me, saying that there was an accident in the barracks and several generals were assassinated. I was startled and quickly got up and walked out. When I opened the curtain, I saw a masked man in black standing outside, and at the moment when I went out, he pointed to the heart of his subordinates. The subordinates reacted in a timely manner, and avoided to the side, and the strength pierced the subordinates' bodies, and there was a blood hole in the back......"

"Fingers?"

Fang Jie's mind suddenly appeared that he met the handsome monk Chenya in Chang'an City, and what impressed Fang Xie the most was Chenya's finger strength.

"The assassin covered his head and face?"

Fang asked.

Xiahou Baichuan nodded: "Only a pair of eyes are revealed." ”

Fang Xie sneered: "That's the case, but it shows its feet." If he was a normal man, why cover his head? The reason why even the top of the head is wrapped is because most of these people dare not let people see the difference on the top of their heads. ”

"The lord also suspects that he is a member of the Buddha Sect?"

Xiahou Baichuan said: "After the subordinates woke up, they also suspected that it was the hands of the people of the Buddha Sect. When the cultists were purged before, my subordinates looked through the texts spread among the cultists, and many of the things were not much different from those preached by Buddhism. Moreover, after Meng Yuan destroyed the Buddha, a large number of Buddhist disciples poured into the northwest. It is said that Jin Shixiong's subordinates have accepted many Buddhist disciples to serve and act extremely domineeringly. ”

"Hmm"

Fang Xie nodded: "You have a good rest first, and when your injuries are better, I will send someone to send you back to Vermilion Bird Mountain to recuperate." The defense of Xinyang City has already been transferred to Li Tai, the deputy general of the Flying Leopard Army, to rush over as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry about anything. In addition, I have ordered Qilin and Nalan Dingdong to take the firearms battalion out of the Zhuque Mountain camp and take the waterway to Xinyang. ”

"I missed the lord's important business, and my subordinates felt guilty."

Xiahou Baichuan's eyes turned red.

Fang Xie patted him on the shoulder: "It has nothing to do with you, then you just need to recuperate, and then wait for me to vent for you." The cult people have made you bleed, and I will avenge you by slaughtering them cleanly. ”

Xiahou Baichuan sniffled, his voice was a little hoarse and speechless. Fang Xie covered him with the quilt, then got up to leave.

Outside the door, Chen Xiaoru had already gathered all the news again: "Lord, Liao Sheng speculates that the assassin is most likely hiding in Jiuzhai, Liu An, and Chen Village, these villages are all at the junction with Beihui Road, and they will enter Beihui Road when they go south out of the village." The subordinates suspect that the thief's lair is actually in the territory of Beihui Province. ”

"Which is the closest?"

Fang asked.

"Chen Village!"

Chen Xiaoru said: "Thirty-six miles away from Anxian County, you can reach it in half a day by riding lightly." ”

"Then go to Chen Village"

Fang Xie turned over and jumped on the white lion, turned around and ordered: "Li Tai, now these 60,000 horses are under your command, I will give you a day to block all the roads in Anxian County, and you don't have to do anything if you encounter suspicious people, just see where you are going!" ”

"Whoa!"

Li Tai, the general who came to take over the team with Fang Jie, hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates will do it immediately!" ”

Fang Xie stretched out his hand and patted the white lion's buttocks, as if he felt the anger in Fang Jie's heart, the white lion let out a low roar and rushed forward violently. Five hundred soldiers of the Jingbu Battalion plus two hundred elite cavalry school elites urged the war horses to follow behind, stepping on the dust and smoke in the direction of Chen Village.

"Lord!"

Chen Xiaoru followed behind Fang Xie and said with some concern: "My subordinates are more and more aware that the thieves are not simply assassinating the generals in the army to vent their anger, but they are afraid that they have other plans. After the assassination, he did not flee, nine times out of ten it was to lure the lord over. ”

"I know it."

Fang Jie's face was a little cold, and after glancing at the front, he said, "If you want to lead me there, I'll go." I want to see how capable a group of lost dogs are under the rule of my Black Flag Army! Tracing back to the source, I found that one killed one by one, and I couldn't kill these scum of Buddhism, so I turned over Anxian, Anxian was not enough, and then turned Huangyang Road and Beihui Dao over. It's not enough, just turn over Jin Shixiong's northwest! ”

"Sending people to put up notices and harboring the leader of the cult will be guilty of the same crime!"

Fang Xie commanded, and the name of a person kept circling in his head. If that person is still in Huangyang Dao, I'm afraid that this matter is really not that simple! He glanced back at Xiang Qingniu, who was riding a horse and following behind, the fat man's face was painful, and riding a horse seemed to be more difficult than riding a boat to him.
