Zhao Rang brought a large wooden box from the corner of the store and put Jin Sanliang and Xuan Lingzi's skins inside.

After all, after knowing each other, the two died so tragically, he couldn't bear it. I thought about waiting to find a good place for feng shui, so that the two of them could settle down as soon as possible.

"It's broken!"

Yuan Mingkong slapped his head, and before he had time to make it clear to Zhao Rang, he ran out of the store and went straight to the courtyard of the Admiralty Dart Bureau.

Seeing this, Zhao Rang followed.

The two of them did not enter through the main entrance, but walked around to the backyard wall that had been destroyed by the Blood Eagle Warriors last night.

As soon as he got into the hole in the wall, Zhao Rang saw that the entrance of the underground arrow factory was wide open, and thick black smoke was billowing out from inside.

The two looked at each other.

After all, it was still a step too late......

They must have washed this place in blood, and then took all the feathered arrows that had been assembled in the arrow factory, and burned the place to the ground, destroying all traces of their tracks.

In this way, this is a headless public case, and no one is able to crack it. Because all those who knew the truth were dead, and the key evidence was destroyed. There are only two people left, Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong, who have no basis for empty words, but will be stained as the same party.

At this moment, both of them are thinking about who can do this earth-shattering thing.

But when I think about it, I don't have a clue.

Especially thinking of the deaths of Jin Sanliang and Xuan Lingzi, Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong both felt a deep sense of powerlessness in their hearts......

Whether this is done by one person or some other external force, it is beyond their control.

The most incredible thing is that Yuan Mingkong, who has a much deeper understanding of the Western Regions Business Alliance than Zhao Rang.

Over the years, the Admiralty Dart Bureau and the Western Regions Business Alliance and the Upper Four Nations behind them have always had interests, but both sides have generally maintained restraint.

Except for such a behemoth as the Admiralty Dart Bureau, other forces either can't do it, or don't dare to do it.

It is true that reselling feather arrows is a lucrative business, but it is not an easy task to build an arrow factory of considerable scale. Not only did they have to secretly recruit many blacksmiths, but they also had to buy many special utensils.

Almost all of the utensils used to make feather arrows were forbidden to be bought and sold. If you want to get it, unless the Admiralty Dart Bureau has the blueprint and asks the blacksmith master to rebuild it, or the Northern Ordnance Division has a traitor.

Money can be spiritual, and it can also exorcise ghosts, and Zhao Rang feels that the latter is more probable.

In the face of sufficient interests, nothing is absolute.

Yuan Mingkong also felt that Zhao Rang's analysis made sense:

"I think at the beginning, the head of the Northern Investigation Department colluded with the Chen clan in the south for a mere five hundred taels of gold, and put dozens of spies and assassins from the Inspection Division!"

Zhao Rang was dumbfounded, he also knew about it!

But he only knew that at that time, the southern assassins were unaware of the northern border, and they passed through the customs in a fool's way, and then assassinated the governors of the three states along the Taishang River in a row. If it weren't for the rapid response and timely handling of the border army, maybe these three states would no longer belong to the northern border.

Now when I heard what Yuan Mingkong said, I realized that the head of the Investigation Department at that time had accepted bribes, and he did it deliberately, not "not for a while" as stated in the official notice.

"Just five hundred taels of gold......

Yuan Mingkong nodded and said:

"Yes, it's five hundred taels!"

"Originally, my father ...... We didn't believe it, but upon closer inspection, we found that it was indeed the case! ”

Zhao Rang keenly heard the slight difference in Yuan Mingkong's words.

This should be the top secret of the Northern Imperial Court, Yuan Mingkong can know so much detail, it seems that about his identity, what he thought at the beginning was not wrong!

There must be a thousand threads of dry cleaning between Yuan Mingkong and the royal family!

However, Yuan Mingkong never made it clear himself, and Zhao Rang didn't ask.

On the other hand, didn't you never tell him your specific identity? They are tacit with each other!

Some things are put on the surface, but they have become a burden, but it is better to be like this, but it is comfortable and relaxed!

"Wait, you said the Investigation Division?"

Zhao Rang suddenly remembered that on the day he first joined the Business Alliance, Jin Sanliang had negotiated a deal with him, which was also related to the Investigation Division.

The Investigation Division is a department specially established to prevent the infiltration of secret agents in the south after the division and rule of Dawei with the Taishang River as the boundary.

The head of the department is directly appointed by the emperor of the northern territory, and only obeys the emperor's orders, so he has great power, not only is the funds sufficient, and there is no need to review and inspect, and even the prime minister has no right to inquire about the affairs of the investigation department. It also enjoys the right to be arbitrary, but when you hear about it, you can cut it first and then play it.

"Yuan Mingkong!"

"Huh?"

At first glance, when Zhao Rang called his full name so solemnly, Yuan Mingkong was a little uncomfortable.

"In this city, or in the Western Regions Business Alliance, is there anyone from the Northern Investigation Division?"

Yun Mingkong raised his eyebrows, and said in a very intriguing tone: "

"Why do you ask this?"

"That's it!"

Yuan Mingkong shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, did not admit or deny it, and looked at Zhao Rang quietly, he knew that the other party should have something to say.

Sure enough, after Zhao Rang told him about the 10,000 taels of silver deal that Jin Sanliang had talked to him about, the expression on Yun Mingkong's face was very exciting.

There was a mixture of smugness in the happiness, but it quickly turned into deep worry.

"It's a pity he's dead."

Zhao Rang said with a sigh.

As if he hadn't heard, Yuan Mingkong pondered for a long time before he spoke:

"Actually, you've already seen it."

"What have you seen?"

Zhao Rang didn't react.

Yuan Mingkong pointed to the ring-headed knife on his waist.

"It turned out to be the old-timer!"

This time, it was Zhao Rang's turn to rejoice!

Glad that he didn't take over the business of three taels of gold for 10,000 taels of silver.

"But it doesn't work."

"Strictly speaking, he is not a member of the Investigation Division, but a relatively friendly old-timer."

Zhao Rang took over and said:

"So he's not going to help?"

Yuan Mingkong pointed to the knife on Zhao Rang's waist again and said:

"Didn't he already help?"

Zhao Rang smiled helplessly.

No wonder the old-timer could recognize his identity just by looking at his palm. It's no wonder that Yuan Kexin would tell Zhao Rang that he could only buy a suitable knife if he went to him.

Presumably, with his strength, he is a top existence in the Western Regions Business Alliance, and even Xifeng Lie does not dare to provoke easily.

"He once owed my family a great favor, and he moved here since I often traveled back and forth between Yangguan and the Western Regions Business Alliance.

But he only strikes when someone threatens my life or death. Otherwise, even if I went to the door and knelt for three days and three nights, he wouldn't have looked at it more. ”

Zhao Rang pursed his lips.

When he bought the knife before, he still felt that this old-timer was different, and in addition to his high strength, he didn't have a strange temper!

At this time, I heard Yuan Mingkong say, where is this? It's just weird!

can think about it, Zhao Rang felt that something was wrong.

It is impossible for Jin Sanliang not to know the ability of this old-timer, with Zhao Rang's cultivation that he has not even touched the corner of his clothes, what is the use of offering a sky-high price of 10,000 taels of silver?

"Maybe he just wants you to die."

Yuan Mingkong said.

Zhao Rang felt that what he said made sense.

An outsider knows about the secret existence of the underground arrow factory, and if he can't win him in, the best way is to turn him into a dead man who can no longer open his mouth.

However, Jin Sanliang was still a little unsure of Zhao Rang's true background, so he thought of borrowing a knife to kill someone.

In this way, even if there are big forces looking for trouble in the future, the Admiralty Dart Bureau and Jin Sanliang can be pushed away.

As for the 10,000 taels of silver, it was Hades, and Zhao Rang couldn't take it alive at all.

The two walked down the corridor to the front yard and saw that the boxes brought by the Taoist priests of Baihe Mountain were all wide open, and the gold and silver inside were gone.

"Alas...... Trouble! ”

Yuan Mingkong looked up at the bleak sky.

Not only did the feather arrow fail to keep it, but he also lost so much gold and silver for no reason.

He didn't care about money, but these gold and silver could buy more feather arrows!

After accumulating a certain amount, what followed was the ambition of the Western Regions countries, especially the Upper Four Kingdoms, which could no longer be suppressed.

"Are you sure it was someone from the Western Regions who did it?"

Now, his head is starting to get confused.

In this city of the Western Regions Business Alliance, it is simply too complicated!

Bai Tou, the vice president of the Admiralty Dart Bureau, the Taoist of Baihe Mountain, the west wind is fierce, and the old-timer with a strange temper, plus Yuan Mingkong and Yuan Kexin, the two brothers and sisters surnamed Yuan, and the "big man" who took action to kill him.

These people have their own plans, and they are entangled and intertwined with each other, like a spider's web. Zhao Rang unconsciously was already entangled in this spider web, and it was tightly and deeply.

"Anyway, we're fine, right?"

Yuan Mingkong regained his confidence for some reason, and smiled at Zhao Rang.

Zhao Rang didn't answer, silently walked out of the courtyard gate, and looked along the long street to the end.

Then close your eyes and let the wind and sand hit your cheeks.

When this gust of wind passed, Zhao Rang's eyes were blazing, his right hand clenched the knife hanging from his waist, turned his head and said to Zhao Rang:

"Let's go! Anyway, everywhere in this world is a war and chaos! ”

Yuan Mingkong stepped forward with a smile, patted Zhao Rang's shoulder and said:

"But don't expect anything good, I don't have ten thousand taels either!"

Zhao Rang said indifferently:

"At least you have a sister!"

Although Yuan Mingkong looked up to Zhao Rang very much, he didn't expect Zhao Rang to be so direct?

"You can't wait to be my brother-in-law?"

Zhao Rang snorted at him and said:

"I mean, at least your sister can drink with me, and it won't be boring along the way!"

"Do you like drinking with her?"

Yuan Mingkong's eyes rolled.

Zhao Rang knew that he didn't think of anything good, and he definitely dug a pit to say this, waiting for himself to jump in, so he gave him a blank look and said:

"Much better than drinking with you wine thief!"

While laughing, the two young men left all their melancholy and heaviness behind.

The scorching sun from the northwest sprinkled on the long street, stretching the shadows of the two for a long time.

Another gust of wind rose, blowing the corners of the two of them, as if the sails of a thousand miles were about to be raised.

Zhao Rang tilted his head slightly, glanced at the dazzling sunlight, proud and open.

The corners of his mouth were a little reckless, as if he could hold up the sky and drag the sun!
