Volume 3: Zhongzhou Fengyun Chapter 88: The Pair of Games
Just when the second prince had subdued the assassins, Lu Cheng and Tang Ke had already entered the depths of Zifang County.
I have walked so far along the official road, but I still haven't seen the camping site of Zhongzhou Muzifangqi, which is obviously a very abnormal thing.
On both sides of the official road, the children of Zhongzhou Mu usually set up a camp point in ten miles to deal with emergencies on the official road.
But the two of them had already galloped for more than thirty miles on horseback, and they hadn't even seen a camping spot.
Unreasonable, this is very unreasonable.
"Could it be that the soldiers of this Zifang Qi are all dead?"
Tang Ke, who is one of the four major families of Zhongzhou Mu, knows more about the situation of Zhongzhou Mu, and this kind of situation of not guarding the official road is extremely rare.
"Then you are talking nonsense, if all the soldiers of Zifang Banner died, Yunjing would have been messed up a long time ago. ”
"I guess I accepted the unified appointment of a certain chief here and went to do something else. ”
"Only in this way will the arrangement of the post station not be discovered. ”
Tang Ke thought about it, if this is really the case, then Zifangqi must have made some big moves recently.
In this case, when I went to the barracks, I knew that the barracks of the Zifang Banner were not far away, and I could see it after running two sticks of incense.
Zhongzhou Muzi Fangqi has one major general, two partial generals, and one adjutant.
The young general of Zifangqi's surname is He, and his name is He Luo, he is over fifty years old, and he has been in Zifangqi for nearly ten years in the realm of gods.
If there is really a unified order for the Zifang Banner, it should also be notified to Yunjing three days ago.
However, three days ago, neither Zhongshu Province nor Zhongzhou Mu received a unified order on the Zifang Banner.
This is very interesting, if it is not a unified order, why these soldiers did not set up camp on the official road.
He, Tang Er, is in charge, but he has to go over and ask for clarification!
There were many guards standing guard near the barracks of Zifang Banner, and when they saw Tang Ke and Lao Lu coming on horseback, they signaled the two to dismount and be inspected from a distance.
"The Inspector of the East China Sea?"
After seeing Tang Ke's token, the guards standing guard were a little puzzled.
"The two adults don't know how much they don't know that General He Shao's family recently added a little baby girl to her family, and she is not in the army for the time being. ”
"The current major affairs in the army are basically due to the responsibility of the generals, and recently they have caught up with the livestock to be slaughtered, and the soldiers are busy killing pigs. ”
The guard spoke a standard language mixed with a Western Desert accent, although it was weird, but the two of them understood.
"Where is this General Yu Bi? I have something important to ask. ”
"My lord went inside, and the camp tent at the front was General Yu Bi's camp. ”
Lu Cheng and Tang Ke dismounted, handed over the horses to the soldiers standing guard, and then walked into the barracks.
This partial general's surname is Yu, and he can't help but think of some unpleasant things.
Isn't this partial general a relative of the old bastard Yu Qiu of Luxian Palace?
If so, he Lu Zhenren can be regarded as really a little bit memorized.
He shouldn't have been in such a hurry, he was so eager to track down Barro's tracks that he didn't even follow his own rules.
Before going out of Yunjing, you should take a gamble.
As soon as the rule of going to the casino to try his luck before preparing for the war was broken, Lu Cheng felt that there would definitely be a problem when he came out this time.
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the post station in Zifang County, I encountered a bloody case.
It's not going to go well.
After entering the camp tent, the two saw this partial general, and found that not all partial generals were as uninked as Zhang Laosi.
This is located in the partial general, actually reading.
"The two of them came, and they missed the distance. ”
After verifying the identities of Lu Cheng and Tang Ke, General Yu Bian saluted the two.
Speaking of which, whether it is Tang Ke or Lu Cheng, his official positions are above this partial general, so he naturally has to be treated well.
"When we were rushing to Zifang County, there was a bloody incident in a post station on the official road. ”
Tang Ke expressed the bloody case of the post station to the partial general, and the partial general's face shuddered.
This kind of bloody case has not happened for many years, and besides, someone dares to slaughter the official road station.
It is not arrogant.
"Moreover, on the way from Yunjing to Zifang County, we didn't see any soldiers stationed, could it be that there was some unified order?"
Faced with Tang Ke's question, General Yu Bi categorically denied it.
"Except for Adjutant Zhang and a group of subordinate soldiers to assist the rancher in killing pigs, there is no other order at all. ”
"In the absence of General He, our partial generals and adjutants have no right to make unified appointments. ”
"Where's that adjutant?"
"In Rongxing Ranch, it is not very far from the hunting ground of the second prince. ”
Lu Cheng hurriedly walked to the map of Zifang County and looked for the location of Rongxing Ranch on the map.
According to the second prince, the place where Barro was hiding was not far from his hunting ground, and this Rongxing Ranch was not far from where Barro was hiding.
This adjutant brought a group of soldiers over to help kill the pigs? According to Lu Cheng, this is the drunkard's intention not to drink.
"Tang Er is in charge, where do you think the soldiers who were supposed to stand guard on the official road were transferred?"
"If the adjutant wants to transfer the soldiers who are standing guard, if there is no unified order......
"I can only fake the word. ”
After Tang Ke finished speaking, Lu Cheng hammered the map fiercely.
Lose the car and protect the handsome.
Lu Cheng was wrong, when Tang Ke and Lu Cheng entered the post station, they fell into the trap of Barro and the people behind him.
The water level and the food are both things that interfere with their judgment.
Those people were clearly dead there in the morning.
The person who calculated them had long expected that Lu Cheng would think one more step, so he took this extra step.
made Lu Cheng feel that Barro was still in Zifang County, but in fact, Barro had already left here.
Covering Balro's withdrawal of the Zifang flag and sacrificing an adjutant buried in the county of Muzifang in Zhongzhou, this is not a loss.
"The clue is broken, what should we do. ”
"Meet the lieutenant and see what information he can give us!"
"Two adults, I can go with you. ”
"I'd like to see who eats the bear's heart and the leopard dares to spread the word. ”
General Yu Bian was also a little angry, this false oracle is a serious crime and will be punished by military law.
Before the three of them could leave the tent, a herald hurried in.
"What's the hurry?"
"Adjutant Zhang hanged himself at Rongxing Ranch in the morning. ”
After the herald finished speaking, the three of them gasped.
At this moment, the clue was completely broken.
"What should we do next, there is nothing left in Zifang County that is worth our stay. ”
Facing Tang Ke's words, Lu Cheng was silent for a while.
"Even so, I still have to go to Rongxing Ranch to have a look, I always feel that things can't be so coincidental. ”
"Let's go, two adults, I'll go with you. ”
General Yu Bian sighed and took the lead out of the camp.
Rongxing Ranch is one of the three major pastures in Zifang County, mainly raising pigs, cattle and sheep and other large livestock, and every time it is slaughtered, a large number of people are needed.
Therefore, this is a place where the children of Zhongzhou herdsmen often come, not for other things, but to help the rancher complete the slaughtering task.
A large number of pigs, cattle and sheep are sent to the slaughterhouse, where they are blessed with magic circles and can be kept clean and hygienic.
After all, working in a clean environment is the only way to complete tasks better and faster.
"People are dead, what else is there to see. ”
When Lu Cheng and Tang Ke came to Rongxing Ranch, it was already afternoon.
Looking at the scene where Adjutant Zhang hanged himself, Lu Cheng was a little silent.
This adjutant still left nothing, no suicide note, no notes, no struggles.
Died voluntarily without a trace of hesitation.
"Don't you need the Qinglong Town Soul Bell to ask his soul?"
"It's useless, there is not a trace of his soul on his corpse. ”
"In his left hand, there is the same sigil as that eunuch, whose soul has been transformed into a miscellaneous imp in the ghost world. ”
Tang Ke shook his head, although this miscellaneous ghost is not dead, but it is definitely not alive.
After all, that place in the ghost world is not a place for the living, and there is no need for those miscellaneous imps to investigate.
The miscellaneous imps transformed from humans do not have the memory of the human world, that is, in the process of transformation, the memory of the human world will be completely erased.
This method is simply perfect for dealing with a soul forging cultivator like Lu Cheng.
His opponent seemed to know everything about Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng knew very little about them.
"Sect, sure enough, the hands and eyes are not showing a drop of water in the sky. ”
Lu Cheng sighed, and Tang Ke on the side scratched his head.
"I don't think so. ”
"What's the matter, has the wise and martial Tang Er found anything?"
"Hey, it's not a discovery. ”
Tang Ke sat beside Lu Cheng and said with a grin.
"Think about the question, since we encountered these strange events, have there been one thing in common among people who died for the sect?"
Lu Cheng tried hard to recall what Tang Ke said, but did not find anything in common.
Alu of Yongzhou Mansion, Jin Kui at the peak of concentration.
The eunuch who threw himself into the river after killing Jiang Huaer, as well as this Adjutant Zhang.
"I didn't find much in common. ”
"Either you are not wise enough, Tang Er still has to be in charge at this critical time!"
"This group of people are all orphans!"
"What the is this common ground!"
Lu Cheng almost punched Tang Ke when he heard Tang Ke's judgment.
"When you listen to me, I can feel a very interesting thing, these people are either people who have no family background, or people whose families are dead. ”
"This Adjutant Zhang, a family of three, a wife, a son and a daughter, was originally a happy family. ”
As a result, when he went to climb the mountain, his wife and children all fell off the cliff and died, and he became a loner. ”
"Needless to say, the eunuch is naturally an orphan. ”
"Think about it, the suicide Aru and the stupid big man Jin Kui, do they both have some problems in their hearts. ”
"So, the people who died for the sect are all lonely people with problems in their hearts, and I'm not wrong. ”
Lu Cheng listened to Tang Ke's words, and he was not wrong, but what did this matter with their next actions?
Moreover, in this peaceful and prosperous world, who is idle and has nothing to do with religion in those who have a happy family and a smooth career?
That is, those whose lives are not satisfactory will become religious.
"So we can narrow down the scope of the investigation a little bit, but in the end, the sect still shows some of its shortcomings. ”
"For example?"
"The Yuan family. ”
Tang Ke said with a smile, Lu Cheng felt that this damn bastard just wanted to see the excitement.
Not to mention that he can't move the Yuan family now, even if he can move the Yuan family, he can't move the Yuan family without the clear instructions of the Zong family.
The Yuan family seems to be just an ordinary merchant family, not a strong man, but what he has infiltrated is all aspects of the empire.
As long as there is money available, you will basically deal with the Yuan family.
"It's hard for me to say that the Yuan family can't move, at least not yet. ”
"Lu Cheng, I found that you are a smart one, and you are confused for a while. ”
"Whoever asked you to touch him, if you disgust him, it's over!"
"Isn't it your forte to play scoundrels, you go to the Yuan family to play scoundrels and force them to show their feet. ”
"Can't you do it?"
When Tang Ke said this, Lu Cheng suddenly felt that this Tang Ke was not thinking, but simply wanted to trap him.
However, at this stage, there is no other way to do it.
If you can catch the young and old, it can be regarded as a trace.
However, in this situation, Qing Lao wished that he would never be able to touch Lu Cheng in his life, and it was basically impossible to arrest him.
"Then go home, go to Yunjing, and let you see Lu Zhenren's scoundrel. ”
"By the way, that General Yu Bi is really a disciple of Luxian Palace?"
"You can pull it down, according to what you say, is it possible that Adjutant Li of Miyun Banner is still a descendant of the royal family?"
Lu Cheng glanced at Tang Ke angrily and walked out of the room directly.
"Hey, you scoundrel, are you in the play?"
Tang Ke spread his hands and walked out with Lu Cheng.
