Before the three days had arrived, and Huang Zhang's meal had not yet been invited, he received a shocking piece of news.

The people sent by Qujing to Ningzhen to transfer grain were killed at Yakou Road, not far from Ningzhen.

I heard that he was attacked and killed by mountain bandits on the pass on the road.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the mountain bandits have nothing to do to kill the messengers, why do they do it? And it's also from the government! No one would dare to do this unless they were really tired of being alive.

Qu Jing, who received the news, also told Huang Zhang as soon as possible.

The implication is obvious, he just listened to the words of the eldest prince and was about to send someone to transfer food, but before the letter arrived, the person was gone.

Isn't that obvious enough?

"Your Highness, there are mountain bandits who dare to do something to the people of my official mansion, and my subordinates implore Your Highness to send troops to encircle and suppress this group of mountain bandits!"

"How do you know if it's a bandit or a group of bandits who killed the messenger?" Huang Zhang asked suddenly.

"Uh......"

Huang Zhang's words made Qu Jing incomprehensible.

It's all this time, is it meaningful to care about the truth of one by one?

"Your Highness, the officials sent out by the lower officials are the most powerful, if it is just a mountain bandit, it is impossible to kill him quietly. It must be a group of mountain bandits! Please give the order of Your Highness to transfer the county soldiers to encircle and suppress! ”

Huang Zhang could see that Qu Jing was determined to ask him to transfer troops to encircle and suppress the mountain bandits.

But that's right, no matter what, it's the people of the government who were killed, and there has to be an explanation, and they can't die in vain, so who will dare to help in the future?

Thinking of this, Huang Zhang handed the identity card on his waist to Chen Lin beside him, and ordered: "Tell Suo Ke that the meal can't be eaten for the time being, and next time I will ask him, let him lead the troops to the pass to suppress the bandits, and wait until the bandits are finished." ”

"Yes!"

As soon as Chen Lin heard this, he left in a hurry with the sign of Huang Zhang.

Seeing that Huang Zhang agreed to transfer troops, Qu Jing finally showed a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, the most important thing at the moment is the matter of adjusting food, why don't you write another order for people to pass it on?" Qu Jing asked.

He obviously asked knowingly, before the murderer of the previous government official was found, he sent a second person, and if he was killed again, Huang Zhang should be scolded.

Hearing Qu Jing's words, Huang Zhang glanced at him and said casually: "No need!" I'll go personally! ”

Huang Zhang wanted to see if it was the ghost of the Wen family or the ghost of Qu Jing.

As long as he goes over, it will be clear at a glance, Huang Zhang doesn't believe that this Wen family even dares to do it?

He touched the pistol he was holding at his waist, and now this thing gave him enough security!

Hearing Huang Zhang say that he was going to go in person, Qu Jing looked anxious.

"Your Highness, it's not safe, why don't you go with Your Highness?"

Huang Zhang glanced at him.

He always felt that Qu Jing had a feeling that the conspiracy had succeeded, that is, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong!

"Why don't you go by yourself!" Huang Zhang said suddenly.

Hearing Huang Zhang's words, Qu Jing immediately waved his hand and said, "Your Highness should also know that there are many things in Panyan City during this time, and the lower officials can't leave!" ”

"Then you said to accompany me?" Huang Zhang said coldly.

In this regard, Qu Jing was slightly embarrassed, probably because he usually said too much politely, but he didn't expect Huang Zhang to give him a real thing.

After agreeing to Qu Jing, Huang Zhang left Panyan City on the same day.

Qu Jing didn't expect the eldest prince to go so fast, he didn't have time to see him off, and his subordinates didn't even capture the information of His Royal Highness the eldest prince, and the people had already left the city.

However, Huang Zhang left in such a hurry, which Qu Jing was happy to see.

That's what he wanted.

Huang Zhang traveled alone this time and did not bring anyone.

The good thing about a person is that he is free and not constrained.

Of course, he is not really alone, and he will have to make peace with Chen Lin and them when the time comes.

Out of Panyan City, on the way to Ningzhen, Huang Zhang came over and heard a lot of people talking about Ningzhen.

There is no way, the entire town of Jianing in Langzhong County is still a place that has not been impacted, and there must be many people who want to stay in this place.

It's just a pity that the number of people who went to Ningzhen and those who came back from Ningzhen was almost the same.

Even if a few people say that it is useless to go to Ningzhen, there are still many people who rush to Ningzhen and want to bang their luck.

In this kind of place, it is not surprising that bad incidents occur, what robberies, killings, or more frequent, after all, many of these people are still those anti-thieves and outcasts who rebelled at the beginning, and the inferior nature is opened, and it is naturally difficult to take it back!

Huang Zhang also heard a lot of news about Ning Zhen.

As the old saying goes, no matter how messy he is, he won't lose a bowl of rice in Ningzhen.

With this sentence, it can be seen that Ning Zhen's status in Langzhong, and it is no wonder that Qu Jing said that he couldn't move.

Ningzhen's status is indeed quite special.

As soon as Huang Zhang left Panyan City, Xi Yan, who had tracked him over, entered Panyan City, and the two of them just left one after the other!

If Huang Zhang leaves later, or Xi Yan goes faster, I'm afraid the two will meet at the city gate, and at that time, there will inevitably be a fierce battle.

This time, Xi Yan only brought Beimu, the captain of the Seventh Army Corps, and a dozen or so subordinates, and specially traveled lightly to see if he could assassinate Huang Zhang first.

If Huang Zhang can be solved by means of assassination, then everyone will naturally be happy.

If not, then mobilize the Tianjie army stationed in Sanyangba.

The presence of 4,000 troops in one place will inevitably attract the attention of others.

Chen Jun Taishou naturally sent someone over to inquire about the news, but when the visitor saw the sign shown by Shanshi, he immediately began to shut up and turned to leave!

The 4,000-strong Heavenly Absolute Army was stationed here, and no one from Chen County had come to inquire about the news since then.

As soon as the capital was in the capital, Xi Yan sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the great prince.

A dazzling figure like the eldest prince can receive news just by asking!

But this time, the news that was withdrawn made Xi Yan a little puzzled!

Some sources say that the eldest prince lives in Taishou Mansion, some sources say that the eldest prince is not in Panyan City, and some news says that the eldest prince did not come to Panyan City at all.

This variety of information can make Xi Yan ruined.

He just wanted to know where the elusive prince was, why did he bother so much?

After a while, Bemu returned.

Although the strength of the Beimu people is not strong, they are definitely good at planning and planning.

Especially assassination, he has the most experience.

"Got it checked! The Great Prince has just left Rock City! ”

"Leaving Rock City? So where did he go? Xi Yan asked.

"I heard that I went to Ningzhen."

"Ning Zhen?"

Hearing this place name, Xi Yan's face immediately changed.

At this time, Xi Yan did not act directly after hearing the news of Huang Zhang, but began to think!

"He went to Ningzhen? Do you know what he was doing in Ningzhen? ”

At this, Beimu shook his head.

It was already very difficult to get this information, and as for the reason, it was naturally impossible for him to figure it out in a period of time.

"Do you want to chase after it?" Bemu asked.

saw Xi Yan suddenly raise his hand.

"No!"

His mind was spinning! He wanted Huang Zhang to die, but right now, as long as Huang Zhang went to Ningzhen and found something that shouldn't be found, then he just wanted to live, I'm afraid it would be difficult!

Thinking of this, Xi Yan smiled evilly.

"Stay in Rock City for the time being, I'll wait for him to come back before I do it!"

Although Bei Mu didn't know why Xi Yan made this move, he still nodded his head.

"Find a suitable ambush location in Rock City during this time, I will wait for this great prince to surprise him as soon as he returns!"

Xi Yan seemed to see the secret that the eldest prince had discovered in Ningzhen and then panicked.

When the time comes, when he returns to Rock City in a trance, he will give him another fatal blow.

When the people above know that the eldest prince knows their secrets, they will definitely speed up their actions, and the more chaotic the country is, the safer he will be!

Thinking of this, Xi Yan had an irrepressible smile on his face!

"You are looking for death yourself, but I didn't force you."

At this time, Huang Zhang did not expect that a conspiracy against him was unfolding at all.

He was now waiting for Chen Lin and them at Yakoudao.

Huang Zhang walked fast alone, and arrived at the pass in about a day.

He found a nearby farmer and stayed.

It can only be said that Huang Zhang is lucky, every time he goes out to find someone, he can always find a good person, but in this troubled world, many good people are not allowed to die.

The family that took in the prince was a husband and wife.

Huang Zhang went out this time dressed quite plainly and decently, and I heard that Huang Zhang wanted to stay overnight for a few days.

The couple was a little hesitant at first, but seeing that Huang Zhang was so young and had a kind face, they finally agreed.

After Huang Zhang stayed for one night and nothing happened what they were worried about, the couple's attitude towards Huang Zhang changed.

From the initial precaution to enthusiasm, Huang Zhang was a little embarrassed!

"Hey, little brother, you can live in peace, although your eldest sister is ruthless, she has a good heart, this world is not peaceful, and there are not many good people."

The good person they refer to is naturally Huang Zhang, not to mention spending money on their accommodation, but also helping them when they are free, staying for one night, safe and smooth, in the eyes of these people, this belongs to the standard of a good person.

Huang Zhang also smiled and didn't speak, if he really talked about good people, the couple who took him in to stay was really good people.

"Have you heard of Ning Zhen?" Huang Zhang asked suddenly.

"Ning Zhen? Little brother, are you going to Ningzhen? ”

"Ang, I heard that Ningzhen is richer, and I want to see it."

As soon as he heard Huang Zhang say this, the man immediately persuaded: "Don't go, I heard that Ningzhen is now under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter, there is an army over there, I heard that it is more powerful than the county soldiers, and the people in the past were driven away in two hits, and they were very fierce." ”

Hearing the man's words, Huang Zhang began to think.

Ningzhen has a private army to protect the Wen family, and this Huang Zhang also knows about it, but he says that he is better than the county soldiers.

It seems that he has underestimated the strength of this private army.

"Thank you, big brother." Huang Zhang said with a smile.

"You're welcome, it's all trifle."

"It's time to eat!"

While the two were talking, the eldest sister in the house suddenly shouted loudly.
