At this moment, the man thought for a moment and said, "However, once we were bathing in the river together, I saw a red birthmark on Pang Tu's waist, and jokingly asked him if the birthmark was passed down from his father." As a result, he really said yes, and said that the people of his old Pang family all had birthmarks in this position, and even the shape was the same. ”

The man cautiously raised his head and glanced at Lan Jing'an, "I guess, since he said that their Pang family has this birthmark, then his sister also has eighty percent." ”

Lan Jing'an also felt a little interesting when he heard it, and hurriedly asked him if he remembered the location and shape of the birthmark. The man nodded, pointed to the right back lumbar socket and said, "This is it." It looks like a pear. ”

Lan Jing'an asked Bi Luan to write down everything this person said, and then rewarded him with some money and asked Feng Shen to send him back.

Lan Jing'an thought carefully, although the birthmark is an excellent clue, it can only be used to determine the real body after knowing the woman's name. In this way, there is a vast sea of people, and it is still difficult to find the sister Pang Tu misses. She sighed, it seems that even if she has the heart to help Pang Tu, it depends on whether God has given her this fate.

She is leaving Jingzhou this time, and there are only three regrets in her heart. One is that Pang Tu's last wish is unfinished. The other is to let Wu Daoming, an old thief, escape again at the last moment, and his whereabouts are still unknown. The last thing was the poisoning of the Northwest Army. In the end, she also failed to find out whether this matter was instigated by Xie Weining.

However, according to the confession of the people under Yuwen Junping, there was a strategist who was good at poison by Yuwen Junping's side, whether it was Lu Min's arrow poison or the drugs that stunned Lan Jing'an and Jiang Xianlin, it seemed that this strategist provided it. This strategist is extremely mysterious, and everyone in the army has never seen him except for Yuwen Junping's cronies.

And several of Yuwen Junping's cronies followed Yuwen Junping and cut themselves on the battlefield of Fancheng. Therefore, Lan Jing'an had no way of knowing the whereabouts of this strategist, let alone whether Yuwen Junping sent someone to poison the water source. But for some reason, from the bottom of his heart, Lan Jingan preferred to believe that it was Yuwen Junping who poisoned him.

On the fifth day of August, the weather was clear. The generals and officials who were still in Xiangyang went to the ferry to send off the big secretary to the north. Lu Min and Zhang Xun were especially reluctant to let her leave, and this time they separated, and they didn't know when they would say goodbye.

Lan Jing'an comforted Lu Min and said, "General Lu, Jingzhou can't do without you now." The Generalissimo and I will return to Gangneung, and we will see each other again. I'm afraid that when the time comes, you won't just worry about Jingzhou. ”

She turned around and gave Zhang Xun a half-salute: "Sir, during this time, you have taught me many principles of life, and I have benefited a lot. I hope you take care of your health. Zhang Xun, who had been promoted to the governor of Jingzhou, hurriedly turned to the side, did not dare to accept her salute, and bowed down and said: "I wish the great secretary a smooth journey." ”

Then she walked up to Jiang Shaoheng and said with a smile: "General Jiang, although we haven't separated yet, I'm already looking forward to the time when we will see each other again." Jiang Shaoheng clenched his fists and said loudly: "Please rest assured, the commander will live up to his mission." Lead the army to join the generalissimo as soon as possible. ”

Lan Jing'an said goodbye to Sun Wei and the others one by one. Then he took Biluan, Feng Shen and others to board the ship and go offshore.

Before Lan Jing'an left, he had already written to Xiao Qingyun to discuss the next move of the Jingzhou cadres. Due to the battle of Xiangfan, the cadres and troops were also greatly damaged, so Xiao Qingyun felt that it was better to leave Lu Min to continue to manage Jingzhou.

Of the 40,000 Dayong troops who returned to Shun at the beginning, 20,000 were left to Lü Min to defend Jingzhou. The remaining 20,000 were led by Jiang Shaoheng. Now, Jiang Shaoheng probably has 50,000 soldiers in his hands.

Xiao Qingyun also had a heart, and directly sent these 50,000 people to the north along the Wuguan and Shangluo lines to take Yonghua City. But after he and Shen Rongzhi repeatedly analyzed the situation, they still decided to fight steadily and let Jiang Shaoheng take the northeast line, attack Runan, level Suiyang, and trap Yanzhou. Finally, Chen Liu and Xiao Qingyun's army in Yanzhou converged and attacked the eastern capital Luoyang together.

Lan Jing'an also very much agrees with this plan. Even though Jiang Shaoheng had 50,000 people in his hands, after all, 20,000 of them had just been recruited. Moreover, Dayong's Wei general Luan Biao also brought about 100,000 people to be responsible for the security of the imperial capital and Si Li. If they go rashly, the other side will wait for work, and the cadres will not be completely sure of victory.

And since the king of Ruyang was executed, Nanyang and Yuzhou have opened their doors, and Jiang Shaoheng should not encounter much resistance all the way north. In this way, if Yuzhou can be annexed, in addition to Sili, there will be two populous places left, Yanzhou and Jizhou.

If Yanzhou and Jizhou can be taken again, Si Li will be completely encircled. At that time, Yuwen Moyuan will have no way to retreat.

Lan Jing'an originally wanted to leave Feng Shen and Sun Wei with Jiang Shaoheng. Especially Sun Wei, who is active and good at reconnaissance, can just cooperate with Jiang Shaoheng, who is more powerful and less careful.

But Feng Shen was unwilling, in his opinion, making contributions was far less important than protecting the safety of the great secretary. He would rather be a long-term man for the rest of his life than leave Lan Jing'an's side. Lan Jing'an was moved by his loyalty, and in the end, he still didn't force him to go with Jiang Shaoheng, but took him north with him.

As for Qiu Shaoze, Lan Jingan had already sent him a task to leave Jingzhou ahead of schedule.

Lan Jing'an is now going south along the river, and the route he took is the one between Xiao Qingyun and Bai Qingfeng between Qingzhou and Jingzhou before. This road avoids all Dayong's territory and is the safest.

Unexpectedly, after less than a day of boat travel, Lan Jing'an ordered people to rest on the shore in Yunguo, and then she took only Biluan and Feng Shen to quietly abandon the boat and go ashore. She asked Feng Shen to find her three fast horses and buy a few men's clothes, Feng Shen didn't know what to mean, so he obediently led the horse to find clothes. Only then did Lan Jing'an tell his mind.

Before her words fell, Bi Luan anxiously objected: "Girl, it's too dangerous for you to do this. Let's go the same way. ”

Feng Shen also hurriedly said, "Yes, the great priest." Now that Yan Kangdi has specially sent a message about you, and he wants to arrest you with all his might. If you miss your whereabouts, you will be killed on the spot. ”

Lan Jing'an comforted the two of them gently: "You don't have to worry so much. After all, everyone knows that Da Si Ming is to go north through Xuzhou and Qingzhou by water, and no one would have thought that I would be bold enough to go to Jizhou through Yuzhou and Yanzhou. And after Biluan and I changed into men's clothes, it looked like three men were walking, and it should be safe. ”

Lan Jing'an said again: "I still have a map with me, as long as we don't stay in the town for a few days, who can know our whereabouts?" ”

Feng Shen still disagreed: "You just take the two of us, what if there is really any situation?" Even if it takes us a little more time to walk by water, we should still put your safety first. ”

Lan Jing'an shook his head and said very resolutely: "The reason why I only took the two of you is to hide my whereabouts. I have to get to Julu in the next ten days, and only by taking the road of Yuzhou Yanzhou is possible, so I'd rather take a risk. ”
