After taking over Di Renjie's secret dispatch mission, Li Yuanfang made simple preparations, and then went to the Western Regions non-stop, wanting to go to the Zhifeng Temple in Honglan Country and join Cheng Yanjin.

Before leaving, Li Yuanfang was very worried about Di Renjie's safety, so he handed over the task of secretly protecting Di Renjie to several of his brothers-in-law. Although several righteous brothers are not from the official palace, they are very close to Li Yuanfang, and all of them are excellent in martial arts, Li Yuanfang recommended them to seek jobs in the government many times, but they were rejected by them one by one with various polite words, and Li Yuanfang admired them even more.

Cheng Yanjin was recommended by Di Renjie and sent to the Western Regions to understand the infiltration of many small countries in the Western Regions by the demon race. Therefore, his familiarity with all aspects of the Western Regions is the most profound.

After seven days of traveling, Li Yuanfang finally came to Honglan Country. And Cheng Yanjin had been waiting at the post station for many days, because before Li Yuanfang came, Di Renjie had already informed him in advance.

After Li Yuanfang saw Cheng Biting Jin, Cheng Biting Jin took him to Zhifeng Temple to stay. After that, Li Yuanfang told him the specific purpose of this visit.

When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he was shocked and angry.

said angrily: "It's really audacious, who dares to be so lawless, I will help you find the real culprit and avenge General Li Jing." ”

After some annoyance, Cheng Yanjin seemed to sit on the chair dejectedly.

said slowly: "I think back then, Li Jing and I were generals in the same military camp, and we were born and died on the battlefield together. Before I left, he prepared a table of gluttonous wine and feast, and asked Master Di to accompany me and see me off. During the banquet, he burst into tears, and directly described every danger I had with him on the battlefield, and I have not forgotten those words and all the things in the past. So far, seven years, but after all, people have been separated. ”

After speaking, Cheng Yanjin unsealed a jar of wine on the table and slowly poured it on the ground.

The next day, Cheng Bitingjin's mood calmed down a little. He took the cluster of arrows that Li Yuanfang brought for him and shot Li Jing to death, and looked at it carefully.

Said slowly: "I have been involved in the eleven small princes and countries in the Western Regions. If you talk about the sharpness of the arrow feathers, only the brown gold arrows of Qi Nan Kingdom can be matched, and they can also penetrate the thick armor with one arrow, but the texture of this arrow cluster is dark blue, and the texture of the brown gold arrow is purple. Therefore, I don't dare to rashly conclude whether this is also made by Qi Nan. ”

Li Yuanfang said: "Is it possible that the person who used the arrow, in order to avoid suspicion, deliberately added some kind of dye in the manufacturing process of the arrow cluster, so that the brown gold arrow turned cyan." ”

Cheng Yanjin said: "There is indeed such a possibility, tomorrow, we will go to Qi Nan Country to investigate, and we will know." ”

On the third day, Cheng Yanjin and Li Yuanfang rode to the country of Qinan, which was not far away. After spending a lot of money, I finally met the imperial master of the palace arrow cluster. Cheng Yanjin showed the cyan arrow cluster to the imperial master.

Cheng Yanjin asked, "Master, is this arrow made by your dynasty?" ”

The imperial master looked at it, and said without hurrying: "The armor arrow is the exclusive imperial system of my court, and it is all brown, because its main ingredient raw materials are limited, so it is not allowed to be procured by the people." Although the arrows you brought are also armor-piercing arrows, they are not made by my court, but are imitations of the people. ”

Li Yuanfang asked, "You mean that someone stole raw materials and made arrows privately." ”

The imperial master said: "This kind of material is in the Western Regions, and only my dynasty is the only one. Who is secretly stealing and making arrows, then I will not know! ”

Cheng Biting Jin said: "Since someone stole and made homemade arrows, won't your dynasty be held accountable?" ”

The imperial master said: "Since he can have the ability to make this arrow, he is by no means an idle person, how can I be offended by a small arrow maker?!" You'll have to find out the rest, and I can't help it. ”

With that, the Imperial Master turned and left them, who were still stunned.

Although Li Yuanfang didn't get the final answer, he was overjoyed and said, "Although I don't know who stole the arrow feather, at least we found its source." Brother Cheng, thanks to you, otherwise I really don't know where to start! ”

Cheng Yanjin was not very relieved, and said: "Don't thank you too early, and don't say thank you, this is not only your business, but also my Cheng someone." Since the Imperial Master is not willing to help us investigate any more, let's find another way. ”

When Li Yuanfang heard this, he couldn't hold back his sense of relief, and said, "Brother Cheng, listen to you, do you have a way to find out the truth?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin said categorically: "Black market." ”

Li Yuanfang said: "Black market? ”

Cheng Yanjin then said confidently: "That's right, we will use this arrow to sell it on the black market with high gold, and it won't be long before the people who steal it will definitely notice it, so as to attract their appearance." ”

Li Yuanfang: "If they suddenly find out that the arrows we sell are made by them, wouldn't our situation be very dangerous!" ”

Cheng Yanjin said: "Yes, so leave this matter to me next, you will wait for my news in Zhifeng Temple." ”

When Li Yuanfang heard this, his tone instantly became sharp and serious: "Brother Cheng, how can I let you be alone in danger, I, Li Yuanfang, would rather die." ”

Seeing this, Cheng Yanjin knew that this fledgling kid in front of him was also a lover, so he no longer stopped him.

He let out a long breath, sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay, little brother Yuanfang, every step we take next, we must be extra cautious and careful!" ”

Li Yuanfang bowed slightly in affirmation.

On the fourth day, they went to every black market in the city, which was hidden in the shadows, and sold them in a high-profile manner.

Many people came to inquire, but they were deterred by the high price proposed by Cheng Yanjin.

On the 10th day, there was finally someone willing to buy it at a high price.

Mysterious buyer: "Hometown, is this one?" ”

Seeing this, Cheng Yanjin pretended to be arrogant and said: "There are still 100 in the nest." ”

Mysterious buyer: "I want it all." ”

After the negotiation between the two parties, Cheng Yanjin took Li Yuanfang back to his residence.

After returning to the temporarily rented residence, Cheng Yanjin took out the golden melon hammer and began to wipe it.

Li Yuanfang: "Will they really come in a few days?" ”

Cheng Yanjin stared ahead, pondered for a moment, and said, "If I guess correctly, they will come to us tonight for trouble." ”

Li Yuanfang immediately understood what Cheng bit Jin, but said calmly: "What should come will come eventually, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!" ”

After dinner, they blew out the candles and lay down and pretended to be asleep.

Until midnight, the courtyard was really not quiet, and the sound of thieves squirming over the wall passed through the ears of the two. The two of them lay their weapons tightly on their chests, and when the thieves entered the house, they wanted to get into force.
