Chapter 8 Jizhou Xue's
Zheng Lun nodded, and walked away quickly.
Feng Junyang turned his head to look at Yun Sheng and said, "Let's go." ”
Yun Sheng hurriedly followed him out of the post station, abandoned the car and got on the horse, and rushed to Jizhou with many guards. The group hurried and ran for a day, and arrived at Jizhou City after dark. Jizhou deputy general Li Chong got the news in advance, and he had already led people to greet him outside the city, Feng Junyang didn't care about greeting him, and rode his horse straight into Jizhou City.
The city was filled with an air of slaughter, not only had checkpoints set up at various junctions and fortresses, but also patrolling soldiers in full armor could be seen everywhere on the streets. The people in the city were pressed by this solemn atmosphere, and they had already closed their doors and closed their doors, and they did not even dare to light the lights. Only the inside and outside of the castle guard mansion are brightly lit, and large white lanterns are hung high, illuminating everywhere in a white forest.
On the mourning hall, Xue Zhi's two sons, Xue Shengying and Xue Shengxian, knelt opposite each other, and when they saw Feng Junyang coming in with Li Chong, the two of them looked up in unison.
Because Xue Zhi's stepfamily is the daughter of the Yunxi Feng family, although he is not a concubine, but he is Feng Junyang's cousin in terms of generation, Feng Junyang took the nephew and worshiped Xue Zhi, Xue Shengying and Xue Shengxian both whimpered and kowtowed in return, and after the ceremony, they all stood up to greet him.
Xue Shengying called "Shizi" first, and before he could speak, tears flowed down again.
Feng Junyang comforted him a few words in a warm voice, and asked Xue Zhi's widow Mrs. Feng about the situation, Xue Shengying wiped away her tears and replied: "Since I heard the bad news, my mother has fallen ill, and Xian'er is taking care of her behind. ”
Yun Sheng was most worried about Xian'er's mother and daughter, and when he heard this, he said, "I'll go see my aunt." ”
Xue Shengying glanced at Feng Junyang, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he ordered the people around him to take Yun Sheng to the backyard to visit Mrs. Feng.
Feng Junyang instructed Yun Sheng a few words, and when she left with the others, he turned around and asked Xue Zhi about the scene when he was stabbed. Xue Shengying replied sadly: "At that time, my father had just returned from patrolling the camp, and he was killed before he could enter the city. The guards who followed my father were all die-hard, desperately guarding them, and they were all poisoned. Although the guards on the city wall saw it from afar, they could not see the assassin's face clearly, only knew that it was a knife, and the move was ruthless, and the knife killed people, and when the people in the city rushed out to rescue again, the assassin had already fled. ”
It was not an assassination, but an assassination on the street in the middle of the day, and he killed all the guards around Xue Zhi first, such a powerful assassin...... Feng Junyang's heart moved, and he asked again, "Are you sure the assassin fled west?" ”
Xue Shengying nodded and said: "Yes, I have already sent a few teams of people to chase after me, and I have also sent a message to Qingzhou Feigeon, asking them to seal the west entrance of Feilong Cheng and strictly check passers-by." ”
Qingzhou is just west of Jizhou, and there is only one Taihang Mountain Range between the two, and the Baili Feilong Cheng crosses the Taihang Mountain, which is the main transportation route connecting the two states of Qinghai and Hebei, as long as the assassin wants to go west, he must pass through the Feilong Mountain.
But what if the Assassins didn't flee to Qingzhou? What if you just want to enter Taihang Mountain? Like what...... Qingfeng Village in Taihang Mountain! Feng Jun raised his eyebrows and his heart narrowed slightly, and his mind had turned a few times in a moment. The man who rescued Xie Chennian came from the direction of Jizhou, and he also made a knife, and he also had superb knife skills...... Could it be that he was the assassin who killed Xue Zhi? However, Qingfeng Village is just a bandit in Taihang Mountain, why would he want Xue Zhi's life?
Xue Shengxian, who had been silent beside him, saw that Feng Junyang's face was different, and suddenly remembered that he was from Qingzhou, and he was also the flying dragon, and after thinking about it, he asked: "The prince came from Qingzhou, did you meet any suspicious people on the road?" ”
Feng Jun Yang groaned slightly, and replied: "I met a somewhat strange swordsman, and he also cut off a war horse by him, and his method is very ruthless. ”
Xue Shengying and Xue Shengxian's faces both changed greatly, and they hurriedly asked, "Where did you meet?" Where is that man now? ”
Feng Junyang's eyes seemed to have a slight flash of light, he lowered his eyes slightly, and then raised his eyes to look at Xue Shengxian again, and replied: "That person entered the Flying Dragon Mountain, he should have gone to Qingzhou." ”
Xue Shengying's eyes skyrocketed, and he said hatefully: "Even if you go to Qingzhou, the thief won't be able to escape, just wait for him to be caught, and he will definitely be skinned and cramped into pieces!" ”
Xue Shengxian also commanded the generals beside him in a deep voice: "Rush to Qingzhou overnight, ask General Yang to guard the pass and carefully check the passing merchants, and never let the thieves go out." ”
Both of them spoke so loudly, but neither of them was willing to take someone to Qingzhou to arrest the assassin in person, just because they were afraid of losing control of Jizhou. Feng Junyang lowered his head and hid the sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.
Xue Shengying saw him like this, but he was tired, and hurriedly said: "The prince is tired from afar, I'll send the prince to take a rest." ”
Feng Junyang's face was frank, and he said bluntly: "Because of the delay in the Flying Dragon, I arrived at the post station in the middle of the night yesterday, and I didn't want to hear the news of General Xue's assassination, I was shocked and painful in my heart, and I couldn't close my eyes all night, and I abandoned the team to Jizhou early this morning, and I was indeed a little tired at the moment, let me go down first to slow down, and then go back and talk to the two sons in detail." ”
Xue Shengying and Xue Shengxian were quite moved when they heard this, and personally sent him out of the mourning hall and arranged a good courtyard to rest with him.
Feng Jun Yang was not polite to them, and moved in with his own people, and when the people of Xue Mansion retreated, he recruited his henchmen to come in, and ordered in a low voice: "Quietly go and check to see if there is any festival between Xue Zhi and Qingfeng Village in Taihang Mountain." ”
In the night, there was a crisp fragrance coming with the wind, Feng Jun stood in front of the window with his hands up, looking at the Xifu begonia in full bloom under the corridor. Qingfeng Village will never kill Xue Zhi for no reason, since he kills, there must be a reason, so what will this reason be? It's just a group of mountain bandits in Nantaihang, why dare to assassinate the Jizhou guards who have tens of thousands of troops in their hands?
For a moment, Feng Junyang couldn't help but be a little confused.
In a small col near the western pass of the Flying Dragon, Chen Nian was also confused.
Because of the successive receipt of flying pigeon from Jizhou, Yang Cheng, the Qingzhou guard, personally led people to guard the Feilong Pass, sealed the pass tightly, and checked the passing merchants and pedestrians one by one. Seeing this, Mu Zhanyue and Chen Nian didn't move forward, turned their horses' heads and walked back for more than thirty miles, relying on their familiarity with the Flying Dragon, the two of them hid in a hidden mountain col after turning around.
Although he is in the wild, there is no shortage of food, Mu Zhanyue is strong in martial arts, and it is not a problem to catch some wild things, and although Chen Nian has not learned kung fu, because he has been running in the mountains with Ye Xiaoqi since he was a child, he has practiced a good skill of barbecue. The two of them did their own good, and quickly passed the dinner.
Mu Zhanyue had already taken off the hat, although there were a lot of silver threads in his hair, his face was not old, he looked like he was only about thirty, his facial features were very upright, but his expression was slightly cold and hard, as if he had no expression.
Chen Nian wrapped the fire in front of him with a wooden stick, and at the same time carefully peeked at Mu Zhanyue, who was sitting opposite, and after a few hesitations, he still mustered up the courage to ask out loud: "Father-in-law, why did the big boss kill Xue Zhi?" ”
Mu Zhanyue lifted his eyelids and looked at her.
Chen Nian didn't feel a little nervous, and subconsciously held his breath, waiting for his answer.
