Yuwang didn't refuse, and there was nothing abnormal over there recently. And he got the news that King Su Feng Lisheng was secretly investigated by His Majesty's secret decree to investigate the salt administration in Jiangnan.

Raising soldiers has always been the most money-consuming, and Jiangnan is a notoriously rich place, although he did not directly intervene, but also indirectly participated, so during this time, he must be extra vigilant and not make a mistake.

It was getting dark, the moon was rising, and as time passed, the temperature became colder and colder. The moon rises into the sky, the quietest time of the day.

During the day, the chirping birds also curled up their wings and cowered quietly in their nests, except for some nocturnal birds that occasionally made some noises. The silence in the Zhuangzi seems to be no different from the day.

Between the treetops, a few black shadows quietly passed by. The few of them finally stopped at the shed where King Yu trained the birds during the day. Some of the birds in the cage have been moved to other places, and only some have not been domesticated.

Feng Lisheng circled around the shed, looking at the seemingly messy gravel on the ground.

In a short time, he picked up the tip of his sword and moved one stone into place, followed by the next, his movements seemed random, but on closer inspection, every step he took seemed to have its own pattern.

If there are knowledgeable people who know at a glance, this is according to the order of Qimen gossip.

After a moment, he straightened up, and at this time, a small young man standing beside Feng Wu looked at it in surprise, and the rockery, which seemed to be far away from the shed, became close in an instant.

Feng Wu glanced at him and kindly helped explain: "Tell you to read more books on a regular basis, this is just the most commonly used trick in the Qimen formation......"

Then there are a lot of theoretical terms.

Wang Dashan scratched his head, indicating that he didn't understand a word, but he still praised his face: "Well, it's amazing." ”

The two followed Feng Lisheng into the rockery, and Feng Wu saw him cooperating and continued to talk endlessly:

"You don't have to think too much about it, it's just through the five elements of gossip sorting, so that you have visual confusion, and the rockery that is obviously close at hand seems to be far away at a glance. It's like the common ghost hitting the wall, but this one is a little more advanced......"

Wang Dashan still scratched his head innocently: "I didn't understand, but His Highness said that in the face of absolute strength, all miracles and tricks are not worth mentioning, I just need to practice light skills well." ”

Feng Wu: "......" light skills are better than him!

Feng Lisheng glanced at him, too lazy to listen to him boast of wrong theories. Holding a torch and groping professionally on the stone wall.

Feng Wu's scalp tightened, he didn't dare to delay, and started to look for it from the other side. After a while, there was a soft click with a few clicks. The stone wall in front of Feng Lisheng slowly opened, revealing a bottomless dark passage.

Seeing that he was going down more and more, Feng Wu hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Highness is waiting here, and your subordinates and Dashan will go down first." ”

Feng Lisheng waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to go down side by side. The group walked for a long time, and did not encounter any hidden weapons along the way. I think Yuwang is extremely relieved about this place.

After walking for about half an hour, there was a faint light in front of them, and the group of people walked out of the dark passage.

Looking around, there was a fog in front of him, needless to say, this was another heavy formation.

In the interval between Feng Lisheng's breaking the formation, Feng Wu muttered: "I can't see that King Yu is still a formation master!" ”

Feng Lisheng commanded the two of them to work, and said without raising his head: "It's not him, he doesn't have this ability." ”

He said this in a very flat tone, with no disgust, just a statement of facts.

Feng Wu: "That is, there are very powerful formation masters around him, but such masters are generally very arrogant, it should be difficult to invite!" ”

Feng Lisheng didn't answer him, but just focused on breaking the formation. Soon, as a branch was cut down, the fog in front of him dissipated. I faintly heard the sound of a waterfall in the distance.

Feng Wu glanced around: "This is the inner perimeter of Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain!" ”

It is rumored that there is a Wanshou Mountain that has never returned, and thinking about this, he seems to understand something.

Until another half hour passed. The three of them came to a great valley.

Standing on a high place, looking at the rows of houses and the men in their wrinkles coming and going.

Although guessed what Yuwang wanted to do? can see with his own eyes, Feng Wu is still shocked. He said silently to Feng Lisheng:

"Look at this regulation, there must be at least twenty or thirty thousand!"

Feng Lisheng's expression was very calm, long before he came to Jingzhou, he sensed the problem through the various news sent back by the secret agents.

For example, Jingzhou seems to be barren, but it is located in the plain, and there have been basically no major natural disasters in recent years. And in the past few years, under the governance of Master Fan, Jingzhou's development has actually been quite good. But the tax money collected every year did not match his estimate.

It is impossible for the imperial brothers, including the people in the household department, to be completely unaware of these things, but the so-called water is clear, there are no fish, as long as the local officials are greedy and do not cross the line, the court will also turn a blind eye.

But according to his investigation, although Fan Changshi loves to seize power, he is not corrupt, so where did all this money go?

For another example, the monthly food supply in Zhuangzi is very large, and the external saying is that there are many people who serve birds in Zhuangzi.

However, the fact is that because of the formation, there are not many people in this Zhuangzi at all.

The group did not return until near dawn, and they also found an iron ore mine deep in the valley, which had almost been mined.

……

Back at the house, Shen Mingjiao and the others hadn't gotten up yet. Feng Lisheng returned to the study, picked up the pen and began to write letters, although several people did not sleep all night, they did not see any fatigue.

Feng Wu poured a cup of tea for Feng Lisheng: "Your Highness, now that we have found the location of King Yu's troops, do you directly notify the general soldiers of Xiangyang to bring people over?" ”

Jingzhou is King Yu's territory after all, so they naturally can't trust the Jingzhou garrison.

Feng Lisheng put down his pen: "Naturally, they want to be notified, but their role is only to deter. If the troops are forcibly encircled and suppressed, there will inevitably be casualties on both sides.

Every elite soldier of the Great Xia Kingdom has been selected and trained day after day, and even if they die, they should die on the battlefield, not in the infighting of the royal family. Therefore, such unnecessary casualties can be avoided. ”

Feng Wu instantly understood the meaning of his words: "Your Highness, this is planning to capture the thief and capture the king first!" Ke Yuwang has been operating in Jingzhou for many years, with the little manpower we brought, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take people down? ”

Feng Lisheng folded the letter paper, asked people to quietly send it to the general soldier of Xiangyang, raised his head and said lightly: "Then scare the snake!" ”

……

After another day, it was estimated that it was almost over, and King Yu invited Chen Jinbao to come over, saying that he would give him a few precious jade.

Chen Jinbao came to Yuwang's Mansion with a happy face, entered the study in the front yard, and found that Yuwang was not there, only An Shun'er stood quietly with his eyes down.

Chen Jinbao glanced at An Shun'er, sat down on the circle chair, and asked unceremoniously: "Why are you the only one here, Lord Wang?" ”

An Shun'er still lowered her eyes respectfully, and she couldn't see her joy or anger: "The prince went to the backyard, and he will come over in a while, and Chen Gongzi will sit down and drink a cup of tea first." ”

As he spoke, he casually poured a cup of tea and offered it to him: "This is the best Biluochun, the price is better than gold, Chen Gongzi try it." ”

Chen Jinbao heard him say that the price was better than gold, and he was really interested, so he couldn't wait to pick up the tea, put it to his lips and sniffed it.

After that, as if sensing something, his face stiffened for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, put down the cup with some disgust, and deliberately found fault and said:

"How does this tea smell weird! Don't drink it, don't drink it......"

After that, Chen Jinbao was obviously a little restless, and seeing that King Yu had not come back for a long time, he stood up as if he had completely lost his patience, "I suddenly remembered that there was something to do, so I left first." ”

The steps to leave were clearly a little hasty.

Until his back disappeared completely, the door of the study slowly opened, and King Yu walked out with a calm face.
