Although Ye Chen was summoned during the day, the time he chose was very good, but at noon, it was a hot day, and there was no one around.

As the only person known to have escaped from the Shiliang Mountain ambush, Yu was public and private, and Ye Chen didn't want anything to happen to Jiang Ning.

Yinxiu Peak is a relatively high mountain peak in the northwest direction of Licheng, not too far from here, only four or five miles, the two of them came to Yinxiu Peak in a while, but Ye Chen arrived earlier than them, and was waiting for them at the foot of the mountain.

"Subordinates, see the city lord. ”

"No need to be polite, Hanbai, you're lucky this time. ”

"Indeed. ”

"It's a pity that you have a problem with your cultivation, otherwise you will be the Tianjiao of Pingwei Mansion or even Langzhou. ”

Dao Hanqing relayed it more carefully, but some of them were concealed by Jiang Ning, so Ye Chen was not very clear about some of the details. However, there were so many enemies involved in the ambush battle of Shiliang Mountain that day, and there were many masters among them, and there might be many people, Ye Chen would be afraid of them.

To be able to escape in that situation, an ant who is still a minor cultivator is not only lucky, but must have enough wisdom, courage, calmness, observation, reaction, and judgment ability to escape by chance.

Otherwise, if you go by yourself, you will not be half sure that you will be able to escape successfully.

Eleven-year-old white robe into the city lord's mansion, can let himself fancy a child, a powerless child, can grow up safely under the persecution of the knife cold, and also cultivate another girl to become a talent, with these two items, is it a simple character?

If it weren't for Xiu Wei dragging his feet, Ye Chen would have been able to recommend Jiang Ning to his family.

"City Lord, don't laugh at me," Jiang Ning said with a sincere face, Tianjiao...... Think about that young man, he is as old as himself, he is already in the enlightenment period, and he has the combat power of the true Xuan period, that is the real pride of the sky.

"Knife battalion general, learn from your brother. Ye Chen said very dissatisfiedly, it was a correct decision for Dao Hanqing to leave the Dao family, but he finally broke away from the Dao family, and another Jiang family came, and there was no end.

What can Dao Hanqing say?

"City Lord, the eldest brother is filial," Jiang Ning said euphemistically, it's not that Dao Hanqing doesn't understand, but Jiang is like this, what should Dao Hanqing do, don't even want his mother?

"City Lord, if my mother were alive, I would be like my eldest brother ......"

"This official doesn't want to care about this, you go down. "Jiang Ning is an orphan, what happened in Taiping City back then, Ye Chen also knew that it would be sad to say this, now is not the time to be sad and talk about filial piety, Ye Chen waved his hand at Dao Hanqing.

The knife is cold and green.

"Tell me what happened that day. ”

Jiang Ning said it again, and it was not much different from what Dao Hanqing relayed, but in the middle, Ye Chen asked some more questions, and he said it in more detail.

"The officer has a few questions. ”

"Ask the city lord. ”

"Your ability to observe, to think, to judge, and to be alert is very strong. ”

"The lord of the city has won the prize. ”

"Don't be presumptuous, yes, this official asked you, when you went to Huanzhou City to hand over, did you find anything wrong?"

"If it wasn't right, then I felt that this escort was a little weird, and I didn't find out that the others were wrong. ”

"Did you see anyone suspicious along the way?"

"Along the way, I met some people, some caravans, ordinary people in a hurry. Those who doubt it, there should be none. If you say suspicion, the people in the tea shop that morning make people suspicious, and Captain Heiji has already noticed. ”

"That morning, when you passed by the tea shop, when Captain Ping asked the general Ma Ying, did Master Xia come out?"

Well...... Jiang Ning felt very wrong, very bad. He thought for a while and said, "City Lord Ye, Master Xia has a favorite disciple who seems to be called Shuang'er. ”

"Yes, Jin Wushuang, he is a real Tianjiao. ”

"All the way over, Master Xia came out of the car with Jin Wushuang, the evening before the accident, we set up camp, and Ma Zhutou talked to me about the Dao family," Jiang Ning said the conversation with Ma Zhutou and Xia Youliang that day, but then he began to make it up again, and no one escaped anyway, he could say whatever he wanted.

"I don't know why Master Xia became interested in what I said about home and everything, and chatted with me a few more words. Subconsciously, I felt that he was very powerful, so I told him my confusion, and then he inspected it for me, saying that a certain part of my meridians was seriously blocked, and I couldn't make progress in cultivation, and he solved it for me. ”

This must be said, otherwise it will be impossible to say it for cultivation and growth in the future. And Ye Chen also said that when this matter is over, he will try to see if he can solve it for himself. With all the weirdness of the tip of the sword, Xia Youliang seemed to feel it, and said that if he asked his master to take action on his behalf, it was estimated that Ye Chen would probably not be able to solve it, but there was no need to trouble him again.

"That's good news for you. ”

"It's a pity that I can't repay him. At that time, he also said a few words, using his disciple to educate me, saying that he was very talented, but he was not arrogant or arrogant, and he practiced diligently and never interrupted while sitting in the carriage along the way. City Lord, I think they were all cultivating at that time, and there was Ping Siwei outside under his control, so there was no need to come out. By the way, City Lord, he also said you, that evening, Master Xia also asked me strangely, my cultivation is very low, why do you still let me serve as a marching counselor? I said, Lord City has always appreciated me. He said again, this kid from the Ye family in Luozhou has some vision......"

"Hahaha," Ye Chen burst into a hearty laugh, although something happened to him, behind the scenes, he couldn't figure it out, but he could get Xia Youliang's praise, no matter what the praise was, it was not easy, and after laughing, he asked again: "The official asks you again, what was the situation of Master Xia before you fled?"

"Our group of men and horses retreated forward, disrupting the enemy's position, they launched a general attack in advance, I looked back and looked, the two battalions of the city guards were very miserable, the horse battalion will be covered in blood, leaning on the tree, most of them are more than lucky. As for the monks who were lying in the carriage, they were basically in a mess with the enemy. Master Xia was besieged by more than a dozen strong enemies, and it seems that he was also injured, my cultivation is low, and I can't see it, but it seems that he is in danger, and his disciple is already lying on the ground, and it is estimated that he was killed. That's about it, I didn't dare to look at it more, and then immediately ran away. ”

Gotta say that.

Because Ye Chen's question was very wrong.

Can you suspect Xia Youliang? Although he can't say it, in fact, Xia Youliang was killed, or died heroically.

"Hanbai, after a while, the imperial court will send an envoy to inquire, and he will definitely ask you as well, don't bring subjective thoughts. ”

"City Lord, I'm speaking practically, not with subjective thoughts. ”

"Hanbai, Master Xia stopped the five coffins in Huanzhou City and reported to the imperial court, this matter is only known to a few people such as His Majesty and Da Sikong. ”

The nine important ministers of the Moon Dynasty, the Great Situ, are in charge of the world's classics, which include all the documents of the imperial court, topographical maps of mountains and rivers, historical materials, as well as books on cultivation, refining weapons, pills, runes, battle arrays, agriculture, industry, medicine and commerce controlled by the imperial court.

Dasi Nong, in charge of the farmland and water conservancy of the Moon Dynasty.

The Grand Engineer is in charge of all construction, engineering, repairs, and mining of mineral deposits in the Moon Dynasty, as well as the various workshops belonging to the government.

The Great Priest is in charge of the laws and punishments of the Moon Dynasty.

The Great Priest is in charge of the official rituals and ceremonies of the Moon Dynasty, and is responsible for supervising and impeaching civil and military officials for the emperor, correcting wrongful punishments and wrongful convictions in various places.

The Great Priest is in charge of the household registration, taxes and expenditures of the Yue Dynasty, and other aspects related to the finances are also in the hands of the Great Priest.

Da Sima is in charge of all the logistics of the Moon Dynasty army, including grain and grass, armor, war horses, magic weapons, and so on.

The Grand Lieutenant is in charge of all the armies of the Moon Dynasty.

There is also a big secretary, the general consul of civil and military officials, in charge of the selection, appointment, evaluation, promotion and demotion of officials in the world, and is the most powerful official position.

But this is not the key, the key is that the nine important ministers are all the heads of the nine Yipin families, and the great Sikong is the eternal shortage of the Yongjia family, the "first wise man in the world". Originally, his name was Yongbaiqu, but later he changed it to Yongbaiqu, why did he change it? Yongbaique once proudly said, I lack everything, but there is only one thing that I do not lack, and that is wisdom.

He has done a lot of things in his life, of course, Jiang Ning doesn't know, but he knows one of the most important things.

Yong Baique assisted the head of the Nanzhong family, the minister of the former dynasty, that is, the current emperor of the Yue Dynasty, to empty the real power of the emperor of the previous dynasty, and then found an excuse to pull the emperor of the previous dynasty off the throne and carry the head of the Nanzhong family to the throne as the emperor.

Thousands of years of war, the change of dynasties is normal, the key is that under the operation of Nanzhong Baique, the emperor of the Nanzhong family has also been recognized by all the super forces, only a very small number of people resisted, and they were also quickly suppressed, and then they were thrown into the sea like pebbles, and the change of dynasties was realized in a hurry.

You don't have to fight to the death to be called capable, Yongbai lacks this kind of ability, the so-called good fighters, no outstanding military achievements, so what about super good fighters, often don't even have any combat exploits, because under the planning and arrangement of others, don't fight.

Ye Chen continued: "You also know that I am from the Ye family in Luozhou, and the day before yesterday, the elders of my family sent me a summons that said one thing. Xia Zhangmen borrowed the order of the imperial court, divided the troops into two routes, and ordered the official to transfer two battalions of Licheng guards from Licheng, because Xia Zhangmen may not have escaped, and the situation behind the scenes is not known to the official, but the news from Kyoto is another way. After the discussion between His Majesty and a few important ministers such as Da Sikong, he ordered the head of Xia to stay in Huanzhou City and not to advance, and then the imperial court urgently recruited 100,000 elite soldiers from the secret states of the Gyeonggi region, and the elders of my family also confirmed the matter. At the same time, a large number of masters were recruited to go to Huanzhou City together. ”

"This is not a trivial matter, the recruits are all the top masters, and the difficulty is not small, but most of the monks who are on the recruitment list are also assembled, and at the same time, 100,000 elite soldiers have also set off for more than twenty days. Therefore, no one can say where the secret was leaked......"

"Will it leak in the middle of the way?"

To send a message from Huanzhou, you must transfer it several times before you can send it to Kyoto. Generally, they are not leaked, and even if someone has the courage to peek at them, these important messengers are also encrypted. But don't be afraid of people with a heart, if you have a heart, there is also the possibility of leakage.

Ye Chen shook his head: "Impossible, Master Xia didn't use the communication talisman, but asked his junior brother, the highly skilled Elder Song, to personally bring the secret music to the capital, and after discussing it, Elder Song went back." ”

"What about Elder Song?"

"He's in your team, too. ”

Until now, he has not shown up, needless to say, the same died in battle.

Suddenly, Jiang Ning shuddered.
