In a deep mountain on the edge of Licheng.

A group of beggars were hiding here, next to a small river, a large meadow had been flattened, and the beggars were lying on the ground or hanging on the trees, in a bored daze. These people say they are beggars, but most of them have lost their human form and look more like monsters. There was a cave next to it, and only three old beggars who were in normal shape hid in the cave, hiding from the autumn rain that had just fallen.

"We're here, and I don't know if Elder Tang can find us..."Elder Sun stretched out his head to look at the drizzle outside, the land of Nanhuai Capital City, there was a lot of rain, even an old beggar like him who begged all year round was disgusted by this.

"Elder Sun doesn't have to worry, there are mountains and rivers here, and there is still a drizzle, which is somewhat poetic, isn't it good to calm down and appreciate it? Anyway, the tribute has already arrived! "Elder Wang is a middle-aged man from a down-to-earth family, and he has no choice but to be a beggar, but there is still some ink in his stomach.

"Elder Sun, you don't have to worry, Elder Tang is the leader in the gang, so naturally there will be a way to find us. How's your injury? "Elder Zhu is a good old man, and he asked about Elder Sun's injuries on the side.

"It's not a big deal, although the Sui Gong has been received, but after all, I haven't gone back yet, I'm worried that the prince is in a hurry..."Elder Sun said the concerns in his heart.

Suddenly, a loud laugh came: "Hahahaha, that little emperor shrank in the capital and didn't dare to come out, but let you little rats come to die." Why bother! As soon as he finished speaking, a figure burst out of the dense forest, still holding a person in his hand, pushed his chest all the way to the grass, threw it on the ground, and stepped on the man's chest and abdomen, and trampled him on the nose and mouth.

"Elder Tang, you're back." The three elders shouted in unison.

"Let's go!" The man on the ground stretched out his foot to hook Elder Tang's leg that was stepping on his chest and abdomen, and kicked his other foot from the bottom up, attacking Elder Tang's lower body.

Elder Tang grabbed the kick and pinched it hard, only to hear a "click", and everyone knew that this person's leg bone had been pinched and shattered. But this person gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, and his other foot wrapped around Elder Tang's thigh.

With a "bang", another person jumped into the river in the grass, broke the water waves, and swam away into the distance at a very fast speed.

Elder Tang stomped hard, and the man on the ground was directly trampled to death. Elder Tang left this person alone, jumped onto the river, performed light skills under his feet, and actually walked on the waves on the water, and chased after him, and the speed was even faster than the person underwater! After running for only a few dozen steps, he reached into the river and caught the man in the river.

"Sound from east to west? Scold. Elder Tang grabbed the throat of the man in the river, and without waiting for him to reply, he strangled him alive with the force of his palm and threw him into the river. Without looking at the corpse that slowly sank into the water, it returned to the clearing in a few moments.

"Elder Tang's martial arts have improved a lot, and the position of the helper in the future must be Elder Tang!" Elder Wang praised.

"It's over." Elder Tang chuckled, obviously not taking Elder Wang's compliment to heart, which made Elder Wang quite embarrassed.

Elder Zhu asked, "Who are these two?" Let Elder Tang make such a big move? ”

"Twelve Heavenly Guards, have you heard of it? Look at the rat head on his chest, it is the sub-hidden guard who is responsible for finding information. Elder Tang was quite polite to Elder Zhu and explained.

Elder Sun was the most old-fashioned, got up and said, "Since Tianwei has found here, let's leave quickly, don't let the prince wait too long." Go straight to Wucheng and go up the river. ”

Everyone had no objections, and Elder Tang also had a lot of respect for Elder Sun, and took two steps forward to help Elder Sun and open the way first.

"Relying on his old age and high martial arts, what are you proud of..."Elder Wang looked at Elder Tang and Elder Sun behind him, muttering dissatisfiedly.

Elder Zhu tugged at Elder Wang's shabby sleeve and shook his head gently.

Under the urging of Wang Changlong and Elder Zhu, a group of beggars pulled the vehicle and followed behind towards Wuhu.

After everyone walked for a long time, a woman jumped from the tree, and a big mouse head was embroidered on her chest, tearing off the mouse pattern on the chest of Ziyinwei on the ground, leaving two lines of tears in her eyes, and turned around and ran in the direction of the capital.

……

Two days later, the capital.

Zhou Ziru strode to the imperial study: "Hahaha, Your Majesty, thanks to Xigui's Sui Gong, it is really a timely rain, otherwise the Yulin Army outside the city will starve to death." ”

Zhao Yizhi was expressionless, and said indifferently: "There is better news, Nanhuai's Suigong has been found!" ”

"Where? I will inform Commander Pang and lead the troops to set off. Zhou Ziru's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait.

Zhao Yizhi touched a mouse pattern on the table and was silent.

Zhou Ziru followed Zhao Yizhi's movements and saw the mouse pattern, understood in his heart, and persuaded: "This is the duty of the heavenly guard, Your Majesty should not be too sad." ”

Zhao Yizhi sighed lightly and asked, "Does Mr. Zhou know about 'harvesting and cutting'?" ”

Zhou Ziru frowned and shook his head slightly: "Weichen doesn't know. ”

Zhao Yizhi rubbed the mouse pattern and said: "Harvesting and cutting is to take the ears, eyes and organs of the living, and cut their limbs. To put it bluntly, it means abducting or abducting young children, destroying them physically and mentally so that their parents cannot recognize each other even if they see each other. Or a good living person, or sew animal skins on the body, and stick the horns of the beast in the skull. Attract wonders, attract people to watch, and make money..."

Zhao Yizhi's tone was flat, but Zhou Ziru's eyes widened in shock: "Your Majesty, this is something that was done under the Yin Damage, who admonished him?" Hurry up! Even if the national strength is weak and the money and food are insufficient, this matter must not be done, and the initiator is in vain! ”

Zhao Yizhi saw that Zhou Ziru was so angry that he couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Zhou, don't be impatient, no one will say anything, this matter is done by someone in the people." It is Chu Xiang's beggar gang! ”

Zhou Ziru was a little incredulous, and immediately asked, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly talk about this?" Could it be..."

Zhao Yizhi nodded and said: "Yes, it is Chu Xiang's beggar gang who robbed the Sui Sui tribute, although the Zi Yinwei who returned does not know the identity of the other party, but from the description, there is no doubt that it is the beggar gang." Chu Xiang's beggar gang dispatched more than 100 people, all of whom were children who had been 'harvested and cut', and they were domesticated to be extremely obedient. I guess it's in the form of a demon at night to deter the enemy. With the help of martial arts masters, this robbed the Sui Gong. ”

"If we knew where they were, the Yulin Army would definitely be able to chase them back!" Zhou Ziru said.

Zhao Yizhi folded the mouse pattern on the table, stuffed it into a drawer, and said, "They are now on the way to Wucheng, and I am going to chase them back in person." ”

Zhou Ziru glanced at Zhao Yizhi, his expression didn't look like a joke, and he didn't dissuade him: "In addition to Yulin Army, you also need to bring Chen Congwei and Yin Mengwei." ”

"That's nature. I'm still sorry for my life! Zhao Yizhi put away the mouse picture, closed the drawer, and then laughed loudly.

The two hit it off, and Zhou Ziru was not an ordinary man who abided by the rules, so he quickly discussed the relevant matters related to the deployment of travel personnel.

Zhao Yizhi put on a yellow robe and did not take a car for the first time, Wang Zhenhao said that Zhao Yizhi agreed to take a car to drive. Five hundred Yin fierce guards, split the river, turn over the rain, accept the wind, pick up the stars and four Chen Congwei pretended to be Yin fierce guards, mixed in the guards. After leaving the city, there were 1,000 Yulin troops with him.

Zhao Yizhi felt that the battle was too big, and the other party was only more than 100 people, but Zhou Ziru insisted that it must be so, and Zhao Yizhi was not easy to distract him. According to the ancient system, it is normal for the emperor to travel with tens of thousands of people, but at this time and then, the treasury is stretched, so it is better to save it.

The team came to the West City Gate, and it happened that Chen Song was eating noodles in a noodle restaurant, and when he heard the sudden noise outside, he went out to see.

"May I ask this little brother, what is going on?" Chen Song asked a young man beside him.

"I don't know, it seems that there are big officials in the palace who want to travel, you look at those people, there are tiger heads on their chests, how majestic!" The young man replied absentmindedly.

Chen Song was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly went out to stop the team: "Stop, where is Your Majesty?" I want to see Your Majesty! ”

The front row Yin Mengwei saw that someone was blocking him halfway, and he almost stabbed out his spear. Seeing that it was Taifu Chen Song, he relaxed his vigilance and reported them one by one.

After a while, the report came, and Chen Song was led to Zhao Yizhi's horse.

"What's the matter with Taifu?" Zhao Yizhi lowered his head and asked.

Chen Song looked at the five hundred Yin fierce guards, pulled the reins of Zhao Yizhi and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" ”

"I have discovered the whereabouts of Nanhuai Suigong, I will go out and get the Suigong back." Zhao Yizhi explained.

"For such a trivial matter, just send an ordinary general, Your Majesty has a golden body, why bother to go in person?" Chen Song persuaded.

Zhao Yizhi smiled and said: "Old lady, that is Nanhuai's annual tribute, you also know the situation of the treasury, I went there in person, so I can rest assured!" ”

"Your Majesty... It can be known that the years of tribute... This... Where is this time? Your Majesty is out... Again... How long is that? Chen Song swallowed his saliva and stammered as he asked.

Zhao Yizhi was a little puzzled: "The old lady is unwell?" Why do you stutter when you speak? Or three or five days, or more than ten days, all the things in the capital, please ask Zhou Xiang and the old lady. ”

"Three or five days? No, no, not for a day, if Your Majesty wants to go, you need to go today, and return today! Chen Song said holding the reins.

Zhao Yi was displeased again, and ordered: "Come on, pull Taifu aside, and let go when I am far away." ”

Two five-year-old and three-thick Yin Mengwei immediately came from behind him, grabbed Chen Song's arm, lifted him to the side, and stood still.

"Your Majesty! Don't make a mistake again and again! Your Majesty! Don't stay far from the capital! Chen Song shouted hoarsely.

Zhao Yizhi turned a deaf ear, and the ban on not being able to go out of the city was already self-defeating a while ago, and this Chen Song is still making trouble here. But as the prince of the dynasty, he is just a little pedantic, in fact, it is for his own good, and Zhao Yizhi is not to blame anything.

"Your Majesty, think twice, Your Majesty..."

Out of the city, Zhao Yi ran wildly on his horse, Yin Mengwei were all tigers and wolves, and it was effortless to keep up, and soon, the two Yin Mengwei who held Chen Song also followed.

Zhao Yizhi looked at the scenery on both sides of the official road that was constantly galloping backwards, this was the first time he had left the capital when he came here, and he was galloping in the wilderness, and he couldn't say how comfortable he was.

In the capital, Chen Song sat paralyzed on the ground, and the old man burst into tears: "The old minister is ashamed of the first emperor and the ancestors of the Great Apocalypse..."

If Zhao Yizhi, who was running wildly, looked back, he would see a pillar of light rising into the sky in the capital, and in the pillar of light, hundreds of golden dragons loomed into the sky.

On the shore of the Bohai Sea, in the Wanyan Sect, the sect leader Gu Changkong walked out slowly and looked at the capital from afar: "It's about to start..."
