The Tsing Yi trial and the New Year came at the same time, and the streets and alleys of Yingdu were completely lively, and every household began to buy New Year's goods, and Ding Bo, the landlord in the yard, was no exception.

In just half an hour, Jiang Liao saw Ding Bo's grandsons dragging a pig, three sheep, and chickens, ducks, and fish meat that had been slaughtered and tied to the ends of bamboo sticks.

Ding Bo is considered a wealthy family in Yingdu, the three sons are more promising, all of them have a family, and they have set up a house, so that their father can be the charter of the Ding family's old house.

The second and third sons arrived first, looking like merchants in the city, surrounded by a few henchmen, followed by a lady and a maid, and a few sons with a calm breath and a lot of work in their eyes.

Men are cotton brocade clothes, with black fur on the neck, both comfortable and warm, but also look rich and free, wearing on the body without a sense of bloat, the ladies and maids are even more luxurious, there are polyester green coats, there are also waist brocade jackets, more than a dozen people, as soon as they enter the yard, they suddenly become lively.

The tenants of several rooms opened their doors and windows one after another, and while looking, they praised Ding Laohan's boundless happiness and full of children and grandchildren.

Jiang Liao looked at the hustle and bustle at the gate of the courtyard, and Li Ke's still closed door, inexplicably a little anxious, more than ten days of searching to no avail, Jiang Liao felt that Xu Feng should be hiding somewhere to break through the realm, otherwise those cultivators around the potential courtyard, how could there be more and more, and the more they stared at it, the tighter they were.

Standing under the porch, silently calculating, planning to try his luck in Vermilion Bird Lane today, if it really doesn't work, he will go all the way in, and the guards at the door dare not be clear.

"Come back...... "Ding Bo's eyes were still sharp, and at a glance he saw his eldest son leading a few guards into the alley.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother. ”

The second and third children shouted, their eyes were full of joy and respect that they had not seen for a long time, those men, ladies, and maids saluted one after another, and several nephews were even more respectful, bowed down, and did not dare to raise their heads.

"The official family ordered to be on call at any time, I don't dare to stay for a long time, I will put you here for the New Year's Festival. The boss said, nodding slightly at the crowd.

The eldest of the Ding family was dressed in a black official mansion, a lieutenant colonel in the Great Xia Empire, with a brave face, two whiskers tightly attached to the corners of his mouth, a knife at his waist, and five or six men carrying gifts behind him.

The men were silent, and put their salutes in front of the door, and followed behind the captain.

The smiles on everyone's faces stiffened slightly, and then they immediately stepped forward to greet with a smile on their faces, only Uncle Ding had a cold face and was silent.

The eldest saluted his father and hurried away.

"A few brothers take care of it, the Tsing Yi test is about to start, we will do the work beautifully, and when the time comes, we will take credit and let the adults give us a few good words, no less than fighting on the battlefield." Before he walked out of the courtyard, the eldest of the Ding family instructed several of his brothers.

"The official family, the official family, you are the son of the official family, not my son!" Ding Bo said, the second and third children persuaded each other, and Ding Bo entered the hall with the whole family.

When the people in the courtyard were almost gone, Jiang Liao explained a few words to Wang Cuihua, and followed the group of sergeants to the streets of Yingdu.

Walking down the street aisle, I went straight to the Zhongyi Hall of the Ceremony Division, which was the place where Tsing Yi tried to compete, Jiang Liao guessed correctly, the boss of the Ding family was the military academy responsible for preparing for this grand competition.

There are still a few days, the streets in front of the Zhongyi Hall have been widened, several attics watching the battle are under intense construction, compared with previous years, this year's Zhongyi Hall competition, the situation is much larger, one reason is that the Tsing Yi test has not been held for several years, the dynasty has reserved a large number of young talents, and the other reason is the war in the north, the dynastic war in full swing, inspiring countless hot-blooded teenagers like Jiang Liao, Zhongyi Hall completely overwhelmed the Tiance Mansion and Taixu Palace, and became the absolute hit in this year's Tsing Yi test.

Captain Ding was busy everywhere, commanding his soldiers to build, because of the requisition of the boundaries of several shops, and also negotiated with a few merchants who looked like brocades, the merchant door cried with a sad face, and shouted one by one Ding Lieutenant, and a few people were not very particular, just sitting next to the tea shop on the street.

Jiang Liao took a moment, came to the front, called the captain, and said, "I want to ask you something." ”

The boss of the Ding family looked at Jiang Liao, but since he called himself a captain, he must have seen it on weekdays, and his comrades in the camp said casually: "Say it." ”

"This year, it is Lord Taiwei Yang who is presiding over the Zhongyi Hall competition. ”

The candidate for the Tsing Yi test was appointed by the Emperor of Great Xia, and before the start of the competition, it was a secret, but there were rumors in the market a few months ago, and according to the tradition of the Great Xia Kingdom, the rumors will be true in the end, so the secret is not a serious secret, but the young man in front of him asked very solemnly, and the boss of the Ding family pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, it is Lord Taiwei." ”

"He has a son named Yang Biao?"

The boss of the Ding family looked at the young man, and an inexplicable helpless smile flashed on his face: "You said that Yang Gongzi, he was still a court lieutenant a few days ago, and now he is a general." ”

Referring to this Yang Gongzi, the boss of the Ding family seemed to be interested, and pushed the hem of his official clothes to the stool, and said: "I think you are a sincere person, remember, next time you see your brothers, don't call Yang Gongzi by name, you ask me to be the right person, if you happen to ask someone else" The boss of the Ding family glanced at the busy soldiers around him, and several of them were lieutenant colonels like him, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back if I go to the battlefield." ”

"What is the truth? Jiang Liao wondered.

"It's not been many days since I arrived in the camp, right? Do you think that the leader of the lonely army who went deep into Linhuang Town and went straight to Linhuang Town is really this son, and Linhuang Town is so easy to break through all the way? It's just that someone made a wedding dress for him, threw his head and spilled blood, and finally died in vain in prison, which made the Yang family get a big bargain, alas......"

The boss of the Ding family, sighed, and found that the big tall man in front of him clenched his fists, looking like he was going to kill, and suddenly felt that he had said a little too much, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed, he couldn't hide the nature of things in his heart, and he couldn't change it at all, he had been away from the battlefield for so many years, and he was just a little lieutenant in Yingdu, no wonder some brothers said that they would rather die in the yellow sand of the frontier than die under the brocade tent of Yingdu.

"It's all gossip, little brother, don't take it seriously. The boss of the Ding family said, but the expression on his own face had already taken what he said seriously.

Only then did Jiang Liao make up his mind that he really wanted to kill someone, not to kill Yang Biao, but to kill Yang Biao and his father.

It's very simple, cut the grass to get rid of the roots, kill Taiwei Yang, for the country and the army, except for the thieves, and the Tsing Yi test has also changed the host, no one will stop him anymore.

Jiang Liao didn't take the black tree stick when he went out, because this thing, even in Yingdu, where there were many masters, was too conspicuous, he turned back to the courtyard and stood under the eaves again, just waiting for it to get dark.

............

Jing Qi's carriage, even when it passed the gate of Yingdu, did not stay for too long, and the horseman who drove the carriage took out the waist card, and the soldier waved his hand directly and let him go.

The carriage did not stop for a moment, and went straight to Suzaku Lane, led by soldiers, and entered the mansion of Lu Mansion.

Xie Liu'an got down from the carriage, and someone had already led him to the side room, and the lame man guarding the door took Jing Qi and bypassed many houses before coming to the front of the main hall.

"Go ahead, the lord is waiting for you inside. The lame man said, turning and going back.

Jing Qi was upright and sincere, and walked into the hall. Zhang Sheng and Wan Liyun sat on one side, and on the other side, an old man with a natural demeanor should be the first courtier of the Great Xia Dynasty, Taishi Lu.

"I didn't expect you to be the first to see you, and along the way, what is the situation in the south. Master Lu said.

"From Sendai to Yingdu, except for the six groups of displaced people, it is smooth. Jing Qi said.

Mrs. Lu looked at the calm young man in front of him, with a look of memory on his face, as if to say, it's good to be young.

"I have one eye in Sendai and have been watching over you, and I have always had one eye in the army, and now I am blind in both eyes" The old Master Lu waved his sleeve and wiped it on his eyes, as if his eyes were really blind, "So I found you, and those brothers of yours, because you have a good knife." ”

Jing Qi knew that Taishi Lu was talking about Lu Yunchang of Sendai and Cheng Zhishu who died unjustly in the ink prison.

"Jing Qi, to be honest, I can't give you anything, if you want to leave, I won't stop you, but you still came in the end, no matter who has persuaded you, since you came, give me a good kill. Speaking of killing, Taishi Lu's old body suddenly burst out with infinite hatred, biting a few words very seriously.

"I get that. Jing Qi said.

"This is Zhang Sheng, this is Wanliyun. Taishi Lu pointed at the two of them tremblingly.

Zhang Sheng smiled, and Wan Liyun looked at the knife beside Jing Qi and felt a little weird.

"From now on, you are the Jing commander of the Dynasty's Blood Guard Battalion, collecting intelligence in the army and on the front line, for the Great Xia Dynasty, for us, to get rid of people who should not be alive. ”

When Taishi Lu's voice fell, Zhang Sheng stepped forward and handed Jing Qi a bamboo stick, with several names on it, the first one was Taiwei Yang Lin.
