Ningzhou South, Official Road.

The post station next to the official road has been open for many years, and it has been valued since King Ning sealed Ningzhou.

The news that passes by here every day is very important.

"My lord, who are we waiting for here?"

Bai Qing sat under the tea shed outside the post station, and several subordinates looked at the wine shed next to him, drooling, but they were not allowed to drink.

This is a serious matter, but Bai Qing doesn't tell them who he is waiting for.

"Wait for a messenger from the capital."

Looking at the intersection, Bai Qing replied lightly.

A month ago, Bai Qing was sent by Fang Jue to Ningzhou for only two things.

The first thing is to test the defenses around King Ning to see if there are any masters of the enemy country.

The other one is this.

Blocking the messenger of King Ning who set out from Gyeonggi and rushed to Ningju.

No matter who it is, as long as it is a messenger to Ningzhou, Bai Qing will stop and check.

And the purpose is also very simple, in order to prevent King Ning from getting any secret reports in the capital.

The Hanging Sword Division has this authority, so at a post station one stop away from Ningzhou, Bai Qing took the people of the Hanging Sword Division to secretly set up a card.

All those who come from the capital will be detained and examined.

In order to stall for time.

Looking at the intersection, Bai Qing was really puzzled.

It's not that I don't understand why Fang Jue arranged it this way, but I don't understand why he arranged him to do this.

Although it is said that he is naturalized in Great Xia, Bai Qing knows his origin, and it is impossible to be trusted and entrusted with important tasks.

But Fang Jue handed over such an important matter to himself.

This made Bai Qing a little surprised, and he immediately wondered if this matter could be Fang Jue testing him.

But fortunately, Bai Qing didn't plan to touch the fish, he wanted to do this matter seriously, because he knew that the consequences were serious.

Once King Ning and the capital are well informed, he will know many things, and he will raise troops in advance.

As a vassal king, King Ning could not easily leave the fiefdom, otherwise it would be a crime of rebellion.

Some time ago, he was ordered to enter Beijing and soon returned, and soon after that, the king of Wei had an accident.

"The young master suspects that King Ning and King Wei are colluding, if he knows the news of King Wei's questioning, he is afraid that he will jump off the wall in a hurry?"

Bai Qing hadn't comprehended Fang Jue's deepest intentions yet, he had only guessed the first few layers, but he was also good enough to understand this matter.

"Let go of me!"

The people of the Hanging Sword Division who were drinking tea were led away by an angry voice.

"Huh?"

Bai Qing followed the sound and saw that the dark sentry stopped a person and escorted him to the tea shed.

"What's wrong?" Bai Qing asked.

Ningzhou Hanging Sword Division Deputy Cheng said: "My lord, this person is going to Ning Wangfu to deliver a message." ”

"You are bold!"

The messenger said angrily: "Do you know that I am a close confidant in the palace of King Ning, and I dare to stop me, do you know that this is the boundary of Ningzhou?" ”

Within the scope of Ningzhou, King Ning is the Heavenly King Laozi, and here he is the Emperor of the Earth.

If you dare to offend Ning Wangfu, you are looking for death.

The Messenger had the confidence to say this.

"Of course we know that this place is under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou and is the fief of King Ning...... We also know that if you didn't catch the wrong person, you are the one you want. ”

When Bai Qing heard that this person had reported to his home, he smiled, and this errand was done.

"It's just that the Hanging Sword Division is arrogant and domineering in the capital, this is Ningzhou, you dare to do this to me, aren't you afraid that Lord Ning will send troops to exterminate you?" The messenger said coldly.

Bai Qing glanced at this person, and after a sneer, he slowly pulled out the sword of his subordinate next to him and put it on this person's shoulder.

The blade of the sword was almost against the messenger's neck.

It made him shudder.

"What do you want to do!?" The messenger shuddered.

Holding King Ning's token, no one dared to stop him all the way, and even the card posts in some places did not dare to check his road citation disk.

But he was stopped by the people of the Hanging Sword Division at a foot away from the door of Ningzhou.

I really can't be reconciled.

"Anyway, what are you going to tell King Ning?"

Bai Qing said with a smile: "Say it, I can spare you from dying, otherwise I will kill someone in the Hanging Sword Division, and no one will find out." ”

Hearing this, Deputy Cheng of Ningzhou smiled and said: "My lord is right, our Hanging Sword Division has rarely done this kind of work for more than ten years, but the previous craftsmanship has not been lost, and the destruction of corpses is very good, and the detectives can't find any flaws when they come......"

"If there is a need, just leave it to your subordinates."

Bai Qing nodded in satisfaction before looking at the already stunned messenger.

"Huh?"

"Do you want to hide it? To give you another chance, what news are you going to send to King Ning? Bai Qing's sword, sideways, shaved the messenger's beard.

The messenger shuddered, but still didn't say anything.

Bai Qing rolled his eyes: "That's it, who is that, go dig a pit on the mountain next to you, take him over and bury him." ”

As he spoke, he threw the sword back to his subordinates.

"Yes." The subordinate took his sword and was about to step forward and stab.

Seeing that it was true, the messenger suddenly struggled: "Don't, don't kill me, I say, I'll say everything!" ”

"Wait." Bai Qing waved his hand and withdrew from the subordinate.

"It's over if you say no, you have to be rude, everyone is conscious, can't you?"

"My lord, he's a cheap bone." Vice Cheng said with a smile.

The messenger shuddered, his eyes staring at Bai Qing, his eyes rolling as if organizing the language.

Bai Qing said coldly: "If you think about how to lie to me, just open your mouth, as long as you dare." ”

"No...... Can't. The messenger swallowed his spit, and put away his thoughts.

"Then let's wait until I invite you to a cup of tea to moisten your throat?" Bai Qing narrowed his eyes, with some murderous intent.

"No ......"

The messenger licked his lips and said, "I, I'm sending a message to King Ning, informing him that everything is going well in the capital......

"All going well?" Bai Qing asked, "What are the things?" ”

"I, I'm just a messenger, I only know this content, about they have already agreed on a secret language, I really don't know what this means." The Messenger spoke sincerely.

But Bai Qing knew as soon as he heard that he was lying.

Ningzhou Deputy Cheng also sneered: "Who is Meng?" You hold King Ning's edict, if you are not a confidant, how can you do this, you don't know that the content is just a secret word, why bother so much? ”

"Why don't you send a message with a flying pigeon?" Bai Qing asked with a smile.

Before the messenger could reply, Ningzhou Deputy Cheng said:

"Lord Bai, do you know that there are many flying falcons and falcons in Ningzhou, and flying pigeons are too easy to be preyed, so the local nobles rarely use flying pigeons to transmit messages."

"I see, such an important matter, you must not be lucky, let people pass the message is the best way, and it is also safe." Bai Qing said he understood.

Then he looked at the messenger and said with a smile:

"If there is any more half-word falsehood, it will not be buried alive, let them cut it for you and bury it, and you can also fertilize the land as soon as possible."

"My lord, why don't you say it? The ancestral interrogation skills of our Hanging Sword Division have not been lost, hand him over to his subordinates, and keep him so that he can even sell his own father. Deputy Ningzhou sneered.

Hearing that he was going to be tortured, the messenger did not dare to leave anything to chance, and immediately told the truth.

"What did you say?!"

Bai Qing and Ningzhou Vice Cheng were both shocked after hearing this.
