Chapter 158: Reaping the Fisherman's Profits (2/2)
Wang Anfeng looked up in silence.
Not far in front is a huge fenced building, and thirty miles behind is the gate of Tianxiong Castle.
It's been three days.
Tomorrow is the time for this military exercise.
He ran around for three days, but he still found nothing, and he was not able to find any traces of the movements under the command of the White Tiger Hall, but this result was also within his expectations.
It was the first time he came to this Xiongcheng in the northwest, and the scale of this city was not inferior to that of Fufeng in Daqin, because it was close to northern Xinjiang, the personnel were chaotic, and the relationship was complicated, even more so than Fufeng.
Since the White Tiger Hall dared to make a move here, it must have been fully prepared, and since he knew that the news was leaked, he would definitely become more and more cautious, if in such a situation, it was still found by him in just three days, how could the White Tiger Hall be able to wreak havoc in the Great Qin Rivers and Lakes for decades without being uprooted?
In that case, the Great Qin Heroes will also be called the prosperous era of the rivers and lakes in vain.
In the past few days, the most important thing he has actually done is only one thing, that is, to familiarize himself with the general layout of the entire Tianxiong City and the main roads, just in case.
In this way, even if the White Tiger Hall has a backhand, he can quickly intercept it, so that he will not spin around like a headless fly, or have to catch a local gangster and force him to lead the way, as he did in Liangzhou City.
For three days, from west to east.
This is the last way.
Wang Anfeng stopped, looked at the grand building in front of him, listened to the sighs of admiration from the people around him, and a little regret rose in his heart-
After all, it was not possible to stop it.
That building is the martial arts arena used for this ten-year martial arts exercise.
The relationship between the Criminal Department and the four great families is not bad, and the news should have been informed to the Huangfu family, but based on his observations in the past three days, the preparation process for the ten-year military exercise has not slowed down at all.
There are more and more people in the city day by day, and you can see warriors with swords and swords almost everywhere, many of them are famous, and even ordinary people who do not practice martial arts can often hear words like "Huangfu's family", "martial arts" and "sword skills".
The warmth of the atmosphere can be seen.
Come to think of it, this grand event, the Huangfu family has been waiting for ten years, and the children of the younger generation have grown up and practiced martial arts, and it is time to declare to this Jianghu that it proves that the Huangfu family still has the martial arts to suppress all the forces in the northwest of Great Qin.
For any force in the rivers and lakes, this is a big thing passed down from generation to generation, if it is because of the three words of the White Tiger Hall, if it is hesitant, then the Huangfu family no longer wants to have a great reputation on the rivers and lakes.
Wang Anfeng couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
But although it is a pity, he can understand the choice of the Huangfu family, and because of understanding, he feels even more regretful.
Whether it is the Huangfu family who knows the danger and still wants to carry out this ten-year military exercise, or the White Tiger Hall, knowing that his plan and information are leaked, it is very likely to be in danger, and he is still cautious and lurking, in fact, regardless of the words of the enemy and me, it is the same in the bones.
Wang Anfeng whispered softly, raised his eyes and carefully looked at the venue where there would inevitably be a conflict in the next few days, according to the people next to him, this martial arts arena had already started construction half a year ago, and it was barely completed until now.
The square ring made of bluestone is enough to make the warriors who are fighting with each other let go of their hands and feet, and the red attic is surrounded by it.
At that time, the warriors will compete in the ring below, and the bystanders will be above the attic. There is a smooth stone wall on one side, dozens of zhang high, almost can be called the mountain wall, there are skilled craftsmen, from the half-mountain wall to carve out the two big characters of the rivers and lakes.
And on this mountain wall, there are thirteen layers of cloud pavilion, raise your hand to touch the sky, overlook the left and right, there is no place to hide, here is naturally for the four great families, the disciples of the high sect to prepare the place.
Tomorrow is the beginning of the martial arts, at this moment there are still many craftsmen are doing the final processing, thirty steps outside the martial arts stage, there are the warriors of the Huangfu family, all standing with swords, with a cold look.
Wang Anfeng glanced at the handwriting on the mountain wall and said to himself:
"Jianghu ......"
"The Great Controversy."
I couldn't tell if it was emotion or regret in my heart, turned around and squeezed away the onlookers who were also watching the excitement here, and walked out, at this time the sky was already a little gloomy, Wang Anfeng identified the direction and walked towards the place where he was currently staying.
When I didn't walk for long, I saw a familiar face on the stall next to me.
The latter was eating a bowl of noodles deliciously, and when he looked up, he happened to see Wang Anfeng, his face was happy, he devoured the noodles in the bowl, threw down six copper coins, got up and ran out, caught up with Wang Anfeng, who did not stop, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said in a low voice:
"Adult ......"
His face was a little kind, but there was a scar on his cheek, which looked a little angry, and it was the secret agent of the criminal department that Wang Anfeng saved from the tuberculosis Hades and his wife some time ago.
On the same day, he learned about the White Tiger Hall from the latter, and after placing the secret agent in the nearby criminal department, he rushed to the caravan, and then it was the matter of the Great Wilderness Village, so it was almost six or seven days since the two met for the first time, but they never thought that they would meet here.
Wang Anfeng walked three steps ago, his expression was still cold, and he said:
"Xu Guangmao? Why are you here?"
Xu Guangmao looked respectful, and also used the method of sound transmission:
"Lord Huiyu, after recuperating from his injuries, he immediately received a secret order from the two adults, Luan and Ying, to ask his subordinates to go to Tianxiong City and obey the dispatch of the Criminal Department......"
Obey the dispatch of the Criminal Department?
Wang Anfeng's heart moved slightly, and he was deliberately silent, and said:
"I didn't expect that even you, the wounded, would be transferred."
Xu Guangmao resisted the urge to smile bitterly, his expression was as usual, but there was some helplessness in his tone, and said:
"As far as my subordinates know, this time the secret agents in my northwest area, except for the necessary guards, Sancheng has all been transferred to Tianxiong City, guarding against possible problems and conflicts, and the subordinates are quite good, but they have received the surveillance brand, and they don't have to fight people head-on."
Wang Anfeng squinted his eyes, dismantled this sentence in his mind, and instantly understood the deeper meaning-
Even the wounded need to be called, it can be seen that the two of them, the leader of the secret agents, Luan Ying, are already a little stretched, but Tianxiong City is one of the twin pillars in the northwest of Great Qin, and the strength of the Criminal Department will definitely not be less, the reason why this is the case can only be considered that the two of them have not been able to mobilize the strength of the Criminal Department in these two cities.
In other words, there was a disagreement between the criminal department and the secret agent.
Wang Anfeng was silent and said coldly:
"If only the head of the Criminal Department in the Northwest weren't so stupid."
Xu Guangmao was taken aback by this sentence, looked around left and right, and only then did he remember that the two of them were using the sound transmission method, and the sound did not spread to the six ears, so he breathed a sigh of relief and comforted:
"Don't talk like that, adults......"
Wang Anfeng knew that he had guessed correctly, his voice was deliberately cold, and he said:
"If it weren't for that, more people would have been there."
When Xu Guangmao heard this, he also sighed and said:
"Alas, there is no way, the term of office of the chief arrester of Tiankui City has reached the ......"
"When the adult was a teenager, all his family members died at the hands of the Jianghu family, and then although he took revenge, he never had a good impression of the rivers and lakes.
Wang Anfeng was stunned.
He thought of many reasons, but he never thought that it was such a reason, for the Great Qin Criminal Department, the weaker the forces in the rivers and lakes, the better, but the White Tiger Hall is a fierce person, if there are not enough means, this kind of behavior is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger.
Once the White Tiger Hall gains power, although the rivers and lakes are chaotic, it may not be internal friction, and when the time comes, it will make the conflict between the northwest rivers and lakes and the Great Qin Dynasty more and more great.
Wang Anfeng originally thought that there was still the strength of the Criminal Department to rely on, but he didn't expect that this time the Northwest Criminal Department simply planned to watch from the wall. If it weren't for the identity of the criminal department to fool Xu Guangmao, otherwise he would still be kept in the dark, and when he found out that he couldn't count on the blockade of the criminal department, I am afraid he would only be able to stare dryly.
Xu Guangmao was also a little depressed, but after a while, Fu forced a smile to himself: "However, although this matter is dangerous, but your lordship is here, we are naturally fine, not to mention, Luan and Ying are also here, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
"Hey, my lord, the two adults Luan Ying are in front of you......"
Wang Anfeng's footsteps paused slightly, his voice was calm and powerful, and he said:
"Where?"
Hearing this, Xu Guangmao raised his hand and pointed hundreds of meters ahead.
The crowd was sparse, there was a scribe in a green robe, and a warrior walking side by side, carrying two guns, at this moment Xu Guangmao saw the chief in such a dangerous place, his eyes were slightly happy, he had subconsciously taken a few steps, and suddenly remembered his identity, and when he turned to look at Wang Anfeng, he was slightly stunned:
"Huh? Big, grown-in-law? ”
The place was empty.
