In the face of the grassroots soldiers of the Jiangshan Army, the people in the rivers and lakes always maintain a proud and condescending posture. Feng Shen understood in his heart, he pretended not to see it, and said respectfully: "The villain is being sent by the Shangguan to Yangbu to investigate the defense of the official army, I don't know what ...... is this?"

"Oh, then we can take a walk along the way, and I'll just go to Meigang and come back." The cloud crane replied happily, which surprised Feng Shen at his straightforwardness.

"It's okay, if you meet someone, say that the villain is the companion of the Taoist, but it's better than going alone, and you don't have to make people suspicious." Feng Shen nodded.

"It's not normal for a pedestrian to be in this mountain, how can anyone be suspicious?" Yun Hezi asked in surprise, and he was even more surprised when he saw Feng Shen take off his waist knife and put it into the gap under the stone: "Can you walk safely empty-handed like this?"

Alas, this Taoist leader can't be a spies before, right? Feng Shen couldn't laugh or cry a little, and replied:

"Carrying a knife is a last resort, but since the Taoist chief has a weapon by his side, his entourage doesn't have to carry a knife anymore, so that no one will look like it. If you believe me, just hold the sword for the Taoist, this is what an entourage looks like."

"Ah, that's right." Lao Dao nodded when he heard this, really untied the sword and threw it to him, and said with a smile, "Anyway, Lao Dao still has floating dust available."

As he spoke, he pulled out the dust, and I don't know what switch he flicked, and with a "swish" sound, a four-edged iron thorn slid out of the handle, more than a foot long.

Yun Hezi smiled when he saw his surprised appearance, raised the tip of the thorn upward, moved his fingers slightly, and retracted with a "click" sound.

"What a clever thing!" Feng Shen exclaimed in surprise. The sword that dares to be carried is only used to confuse the other party, and the real weapon is this "thorn".

"Walking the rivers and lakes, I have to do something special to defend myself." Yun Hezi smiled, "It's not easy to get two weapons, so I found someone to make such a thing. See you laugh!"

Feng Shen originally wanted to bring his weapon over to force him to comply, but who knew that Lao Dao handed it over to him defenselessly, which made it difficult for Feng Shen to do it.

He was not good at using a sword, and when he saw that he was so easily handed over to him for safekeeping, he guessed that it was not so simple, and sure enough, the long-handled dust whisk turned out to be a weapon, and he was glad that he had not acted rashly.

Just because the Taoist priest can hide in the tree when he doesn't know, and he lands so lightly, this person's light skills are also good, and he may not have a chance of winning if he really does it.

Feng Shen didn't know when he started on the tree, so he thought about the situation just now, made sure that there was nothing worthy of suspicion by the Taoist priest, and then told himself to pay attention to cover it up, and try not to let the other party see the martial arts foundation.

The Taoist priest was also quite interesting, and began to talk to him as he walked. It turned out that the Taoist priest was a monk in Fujian, and his family name was Lin. By chance, I met Yang Xing's father and son.

This time I came to Fuzhou because I heard rumors about them in southern Gansu, so I came to see if it was true.

As a result, when he saw Yang He, he left him behind, sealed a dragon and tiger to join the army and sent him to Yang Xing's side. Yang Xing was very enthusiastic when he saw him, and then asked him to go to Yugan.

"I heard that you sent several groups of people to Yugan, but they either returned halfway or were not heard from, and the marshal was confused and anxious to know the situation over there, so let me go there myself."

Yun Hezi said, "But you are also doing the rest of the work, it seems that they are not dead. I said little drilling, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to come back over there?" He asked.

"Ahem, there's nothing over there, it's just a strict investigation." Feng Shen smiled and told him, "I'm thick-skinned, so I've been there once and wonder if I can go a second time."

"Oh? Have you already been? So why do they say that no one has been to Yugan yet?"

"I've only been to Mayport, and I've never gone further." Feng Shen explained, "You can't be greedy for anything, and you can't chew too much if you are greedy. Every time the villain walks farther, he turns around and comes back when he can't go on, which is better than forcing himself to be caught by others."

"Well, dare! But you're also relying on a bit of kung fu, right?" The Taoist priest looked at him with a smile.

"Hehe, we used to be in the business of gentlemen on the beam, and we didn't dare to use the word kung fu for a little bit of eating skills, which must be far worse than you, that is, to bluff those who are public (referring to catching fast)."

Feng Shen expressed his modesty and said, "Not the way

Don't worry, although the people in the Tsing Yi team are very vigilant, they are very polite to all the cultivators, so they shouldn't be too critical of you."

"Oh?" Yun Hezi looked back at him in surprise, and then said to himself, "Is this the reason why I came?" He thought for a moment and turned back to ask Feng Shen, "Then, if they see you, will they ......?"

"That's why the little one wants to follow you." Feng Shen wiped his face, made a happy and stupid look and said, "Villain Hu Er, he is a fool, the Taoist master is pitiful and eats, let's hold the sword for the old man and be a fortune boy."

Yun Hezi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and pointed, "You guy is a monkey, he becomes fast!" But whose fortune boy has a sword in his hand? Oh yes, you're a fool. Haha......!"

The two of them talked and chatted all the way, making fun of each other, but they were not lonely.

Feng Shen slowly figured out that this old Taoist is forty-two years old this year, and he has to go down the mountain every three years to travel, because he really doesn't know much about the world's feelings, and he was so stunned by the Yang family's father and son that he got on the thief ship.

It's strange that he believed in himself so easily, it turned out that he was not deeply involved in the world, and he was conceited and had martial arts skills, Feng Shen sighed secretly. But he didn't dare to tell others: You fell for the Yang family.

The old way must be a hundred unwilling to believe it, if you are angry and stab yourself with that dust, it is not a trick!

He had no choice but to deal with Lao Dao, accompany him first, and then he didn't know what Yang Xing told him to do, what if he said that he missed his mouth? Feng Shen had this idea, and the two came to Xiatang.

"Chief, look." Feng Shen plucked the branches from behind the trees on the hill, called to the clouds and cranes, and whispered:

"The shining one at the bottom of the mountain is Xiatang. After this, you will enter the territory of the Tsing Yi team, and there is their checkpoint in front of you. Let's rest our feet and drink water. After the checkpoint, the next stop is Osugi Village.

The Raozhou Inspection Branch has a 'police station' there, let's get there to get the way, and we can't go anywhere in Yugan without that thing."

"Road?"

"Yes, it's the guide." Feng Shen introduced him: "It is written the number of people, names, appearances, where they come from, where they are going, and what they are doing.

When you arrive at the locality, you have to go to the police station or village office of the inspection branch to get a return slip, and only with the reply slip can you allow you to return and leave the country the same way."

Yun Hezi said, "I really can't imagine that this little remnant organization is so rigorous."

"Not only that, but the old man once asked why a pedestrian would arouse suspicion. Look at the book

I want to teach you that the old man knows that Yu Gan is now cooperating with the officers and soldiers and regimental training, and there are patrol inspection sub-divisions and their police stations responsible for local security, and squadrons in various districts are responsible for chasing and arresting, and the township brigade is responsible for setting up cards for inspection and early warning.

The layers are like a large net, impermeable. If someone on the road is suspicious, if the patrol department is told to catch the intermittent person, the informant will first enjoy a reward of five taels of silver, and everyone who participated in the arrest will share the remaining fifteen taels of bounty.

Under such a heavy reward, the local people in the rest of the country all watched the passers-by closely, and would rather catch the wrong ones than let them go! That's why the little ones say it's dangerous to walk alone."

When the Taoist priest heard this, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "I wonder if my mission can be accomplished this time?"

"What did you say?" Feng Shen asked, but he was silent again.

After a while, Yun Hezi sighed and said, "Whatever, let's break in first!" Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly whispered, "Don't move, there are people around!" Feng Shen also found out, and pretended to be frightened and hid behind Lao Dao.

At this time, thirty or forty people came out from the surroundings, most of them were armed with bamboo spears, and a few were draped in bamboo armor and rattan helmets, and they gathered around to form a semicircle and wrap the two of them.

Then out of behind them came a brown-clad man in leather armor, pointed at them with his hand, and asked, "Who are you?" What do you want to do here?"

Feng Shen saw that it was a local inspector surnamed Mei that he knew. When he saw Inspector Mei's gaze sweeping over, he immediately winked at him from behind the old road, and shook his head again.

Inspector Mei paused when he saw it, immediately came to his senses, looked up and down, and asked the Taoist priest, "You Taoist priest

It's a big deal, and you still have a servant? Suspicious, suspicious!"

The Taoist priest hurriedly made a gesture and said, "This military master, the poor road is a wanderer, passing through your noble land. This Hu Er was picked up by a Taoist priest when he was a child, and when he saw that he was pitiful, he kept it as an envoy to give him food." After speaking, he took out the degree from the bag and handed it over with both hands.

Namei took it and said, "I'm not a military master, but a local inspector of the inspection sub-division." As he spoke, he looked at Du Mu carefully, nodded and returned it to him, and said in a much softer voice, "Where are you going, Dao Chief?"

"There is a familiar master in the Red Cliff Temple by the lake, who agreed to visit two years ago, and now it is the day to fulfill the promise."

"Alas, the Daoist is not fortunate on this day, now the imperial court is fighting against the thieves, this is the front line, and the situation is very tense!" Inspector Mei said and glanced at Feng Shen:

"If you want to go to Yugan, I'm afraid you'll have to bother the Taoist to follow me to the police station, and when I open the way for you, you can only get on the road. chariots and horses were hired, and boats were sailed.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that the inspectors will take it before I get to the local fort, but it's not a good thing to add twists and turns? What do you think?"

"This ...... is your rule, so it is better to be respectful than to obey your orders." Yun Hezi replied with a calm face.

"Okay, then let's hurry up and go back to the police station, so as not to delay the trip of the chief." Inspector Mei made a gesture of please, then took two steps behind himself, and ordered a chief to continue his patrol with half of the people, and half of them to return with him.

After arranging, he pulled his feet to catch up with the team, exchanged glances with Feng Shen when he passed him, stopped and grabbed the last Xiang Yong, whispered something in his ear, and then caught up with the team again.

The village warrior who was left behind disappeared at some point.

The sub-police station was not in Dashan Village, but in Dongjiadian, ten miles away, and it was already dark when I walked here with torches.

"It's not possible today, you first go down to the guest room to rest for one night, and we'll handle it tomorrow." After inspecting Mei, she took them to the guest room.

When I went in, the conditions were not bad, two rooms were the size, the one inside had two wooden beds with bunk beds that could sleep four people, and the outer room was a square table and four square stools.

There were two oil lamps that were only affordable for the average family at the time, and the bed was surprisingly hung with a veil to prevent mosquitoes.

While the Taoist chief kept looking at the wooden bed and the ladder hanging on it with the oil lamp in his hand, Inspector Mei greeted "Hu Er": "Go, go, follow me to eat!"

The two walked into the kitchen, and Inspector Mei asked softly, "What's the matter Feng joins the army, there is a problem with the old way?"

"He's a member of the Jiangshan Army." Feng Shen wiped his stupid smile and changed his usual appearance and said, "I used a fake waist card to lie to him that I was also a Jiangshan army and came with him. I don't know if he doubts, how long can this scene be played?"

"What is he doing here? Spies?" Mei asked the inspector.

"Lao Mei, I heard that there are guests?" As soon as the words fell, a person stepped into the door, but it was another inspector surnamed Zhang from this police station.

He looked up and saw Inspector Mei making a silent gesture to himself, and when he saw the serious Feng Shen next to him, he hurriedly came over to give a military salute, and asked softly, "What's wrong, why are you ...... Feng join the army?"

Feng Shen said in a low voice, "Lao Zhang, I brought a Taoist priest in the guest room, and that person was sent by Yang Xing."

"Huh?" Zhang Xunjian's mouth couldn't be closed.

"But I don't know what mission he's sent out on yet."

"Won't you know if you are arrested and interrogated?"

"It's not that easy, this person's martial arts are definitely not under me!"

"This," Inspector Zhang was stunned, and suddenly slapped his forehead: "Then if you add the iron knife master, will it be no problem?"

"Of course, the possibility is much greater, and the problem is ......."

"He's right here." Inspector Zhang hurriedly said to the two, "The Iron Sword Master arrived half an hour before you returned. He said that he would take seven or eight people to Dongxiang on business, and he is now picking up the township at the Land Temple."

"Hey, that's great!" Feng Shen slapped his thigh: "You two listen to me, let's do this......

When he entered the house with a smirk, put the food box in his hand on the table, and turned around to cover the door, Yun Hezi hurriedly came over and asked, "Why have you been there for so long?"

"They're bored, and they're playing with me as a fool." Feng Shen said softly: "But one of the inspectors seemed to be suspicious, asking left and right, and asked me if I saw Jiang Shanjun, and asked if you had spoken to the person in yellow clothes."

Yun Hezi frowned when he heard this: "It's not good, they won't want to trap me, and then slowly make a flaw?"

"It's hard to say." Feng Shen looked at the direction of the door and said in a low voice, "Dao Chief, if you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, why don't you sneak away quietly tonight when everyone is asleep."

"So what do you do?"

"I'm a fool, what can they do with me? At most, I'll be beaten and kicked out." Feng Shen put on the appearance that the deputy dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

"Well, isn't that going to make you suffer?"

"It's better than two people being detained, you are in charge of the generalissimo's orders, and the matter must be more important than me!"

Lao Dao was very moved when he heard this, patted him on the back and said, "Good brother, I can't hide it, the marshal sent me out to assassinate him.

Yu Zhiyong, the leader of Meigang, Li Dan of Yu Gantuan, and Fan Jinhu, the county commander, are embarrassed to be women's cadres, cruel to the local area, and their evil deeds are notorious, and they must be eliminated!"

When Feng Shen heard this, his heart felt like thunder! It turns out that this is his real task, so he can't be told to go to the rest of the city easily, he must hold it down before he approaches the city wall!

"What do you mean ......by telling me, Daoist?"

"As soon as I leave tonight, I will take advantage of the night to go straight to the Meigang Inspection Branch to take Yu Zhiyong's head first! But then they will quickly become suspicious of you. Therefore you cannot stay here any longer."

After speaking, the Taoist chief looked at the door with a hideous face: "I have actually been worried that it will be difficult for me to complete the assassination of these three people alone. That being the case, I want you to help me."

"Dao Chief, what can the villain help you? Please do what you command."

"I think the foundation of your light work should not be bad." Yun Hezi said, "I heard that Li Dan is a capable person, but the county order is easy to deal with.

I plan to go north for a while to confuse the pursuers, and then quietly turn back, looking for an opportunity to cross the river to the other side, and then go to the county seat.

You get out and try to go to the county seat, and after five days you gather at the Longsheng Inn in the East Gate, where I lived a few years ago, and know how to get to the county government from there. I'll show you the way, you go to the county office, and I'll deal with that Li Dan. How?"

Feng Shen sneered in his heart, thinking that he was afraid that you wouldn't even be able to get out of this courtyard tonight! He promised in a low voice: "Don't worry, the villain remembers. We'll see you at the Longsheng Inn in the East Gate in five days!"

After speaking, he still put on a stupid appearance as if nothing happened, and loudly beckoned the master to come to dinner. The Taoist priest understood, smiled and deliberately agreed loudly, and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
