Pei Li told the person who recorded what happened last night in great detail, and when the old man asked Cheng Jianghong where he was going with a smile, he paused, and the smile of the white-faced yellow wolf came to mind, and the chill around him became even stronger.

"Such an old man." Pei Ye pursed his lips and said, "When someone comes from the county, please make sure you explain carefully, I will report the case again when I arrive in the state capital." ”

The head catcher nodded: "Where is the responsibility." ”

Pei Ye returned to Cheng Jianghong's corpse, and the man's voice was still alive last night.

He and Cheng Jianghong have only been together for two hours, and they have not established a deep relationship, but the joy of meeting and talking last night is real. Pei Ye sighed lightly and hugged his fist at the corpse.

turned around and saw Zhang Junxue still standing in front of the corpse, her mouth tightly pursed.

Pei Ye then remembered that the two of them might have known each other for a longer time, and said softly: "Did you know Brother Cheng before?" ”

Zhang Junxue raised her head, as if she had come back to her senses from some kind of memory: "No." Me too, only last night. ”

"Oh." Pei Ye nodded, "Brother Cheng doesn't know if there are any family members. ”

Zhang Junxue was silent.

"He said he was going to meet a friend in the state city." Pei Li said, "It's a pity that I didn't ask clearly last night, otherwise I can inform you on my behalf." ”

The two stood still for a while, and finally Pei Ye sighed softly, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm."

The two walked out of the forest, and when they turned over and got on the horse, Zhang Junxue suddenly muttered: "He was at least in the top four." ”

“.”

All the way up the hill to the south.

Zhang Junxue didn't talk much, and Pei Ye was not the type who couldn't stop talking, and the atmosphere was even more silent after this incident, and the two of them ran quietly for about twenty or thirty miles.

Until "Whew! Call! Call! The sound of the bellows broke the silence.

Zhang Junxue turned her head to look at the horse under Pei Li's crotch, although she didn't show surprise or smile, she looked at it quietly for about seven or eight breaths.

Even the yellow and white horse she was riding turned its head to look at the same kind of horse next to her.

Pei Ye's face burned slightly, and he proposed, "Let's take a break?" ”

He looked at Zhang Junxue's horse, which was in good shape at this time. The yellow and white horses in the previous section of the road are obviously slower, and Pei Ye has been curbing the speed of the jujube red horse, but now more than thirty miles later, the jujube red horse is tired, and the horse seems to have just run out of the feeling.

Zhang Junxue pulled the horse: "Okay." ”

The two found a piece of tree to rest under the shadow, and Zhang Junxue took the initiative to give Pei Ye a pear this time.

Pei Ye thanked him, took a bite and asked, "Does this Longmen class take care of our food and accommodation?" ”

"You have to pay the money."

"How much?"

"Two-two."

"It's so expensive."

"Hmm."

After gnawing the pear and seeing that the horse was still panting, Pei Ye untied the sword box again and reached out to press it, and then opened the "Cicada Sword" and continued to study. After going out, he had deliberately covered up his heart, but in front of this woman, he didn't show it, and I believe she wouldn't take the initiative to ask.

Sure enough, Zhang Junxue only glanced at him, and then took out a martial arts book and put it on his lap to read it.

After resting like this for two or three quarters of an hour, the two men remounted their horses, and this time they crossed the hill in one go, and came to the plain.

After galloping for nearly an hour, when the sky was dyed orange, a gray and blurred section suddenly protruded on the horizon, Pei Ye frowned and squinted for a long time, and then recognized it as the distance approached - it was a high city.

"Oh." Pei Ye opened his mouth slightly.

Fenghuai is also a city, but the city wall is low, less than three feet, and it has long been old, many places are decayed, crawling full of green, in order to prevent the beast from entering, some wooden fences are used to repair the gap.

And in front of him is a healthy city, it is taller and stronger, as the distance closes, Pei Ye looks left and right for a while, guessing that this city should be the size of two and a half Fenghuai.

"Is this a state city?" Pei Ye felt that he had arrived a little faster, and according to his feelings, there should be quite a long way to go.

"It's Sam County."

"Oh!"

Today's departure was already a little late, and he had been in the town for a while, and now seeing that the sky was getting dark, Pei Ye asked, "Are we going to stay here?" ”

"Look at your horse."

Pei Ye looked down, it did start to pant again, but it didn't run long today, and it could still continue to run after resting.

As soon as the two of them combined, they rested long enough last night, and they were not tired today, so they only went into the city to eat something, and Pei Li went to the county office to confirm that he had received a report. Then he rested for more than half an hour, and went out of the city before the gates were closed.

After a night walk, when the stars and moon were full, the two arrived at a town and stayed here.

Leaving on the morning of the second day, three or four hours later, the real state city finally appeared in Pei Li's field of vision.

The great city rises above the plain, and such a majestic towering and majestic prostrate is the most magnificent creation of mankind. Although seeing it from a distance had made Pei Ye frown, only when he was close to the city could he feel its pouring oppression more truly.

And when you pass through the long gatehouse and leave the thick and high walls behind, this oppression is also changed by being moved behind you.

It was a subtle feeling that Pei Ye had never had in the deep mountains, as if the faint "thorns" that had permeated his body since childhood were blocked. They had been with him for a long time, and he had almost gotten used to it.

Instead, there is a kind of relaxation and steadiness, which is like closing the door of your house in the cold rain of the city, lighting an oil lamp in a dimly lit hut and chatting with the old man.

It's a sense of security that is enveloped.

And now this sense of security is much larger and more intangible – it comes from the envelopment of the entire human civilization.

Pei Ye looked back at the towering city wall for a while, and when he got used to it, he apologized to Zhang Junxue, who was waiting quietly, and the two walked forward along the street that was several times wider than Fenghuai.

Not in a hurry to go to the martial arts hall, they inquired about the location of the yamen and planned to report the case first.

When he came to the gate of the state government, he left Zhang Junxue to take care of the luggage, and Pei Lijing walked inside.

The guard leaning in front of the door was stunned, and the young man had already walked several steps through the door.

"Eh, eh!"

"Stop!!"

The two guards looked at Pei Ye incredulously, a little suspicious of their eyes-this is. Armed intrusion?

"What for?!"

Pei Ye was also stunned, only to realize that the county government outside was not so free to come and go, raised his hand and retreated: "Report the case, two big brothers, I want to report the case." ”

"What do you report?"

"Take off your sword first!"

"In Sanxian County, Anxin Town, there is a four-life martial arts candidate who was killed." Pei Ye untied the two swords on his back and said.

"Is it the catcher of Anxin Town?"

"No, I'm also participating in the martial arts competition." Pei Li said, "I think this case is not small, and it may require the state government to handle it." ”

If the state government can't produce manpower, you don't need to command, and the county will judge." The man on the left scoffed.

"This should be under the management of Zhao Shenjun, and he happens to be in the yali." The one on the right frowned, "I'll take you to report - what you say must be true." ”

Pei Ye showed his martial arts documents, pointed to his name and said, "Pei Li, the real person is here, and there is no deception." ”

"Okay."

After a few turns to a public house, the guard stood in front of the door, straightened his clothes, pursed his lips, and then leaned over and knocked lightly.

"Zhao joined the army, someone reported the case."

"Enter."

The guard gently pushed the door in, Pei Ye followed, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt that the air in the room was quiet and oppressive, and he saw a man sitting behind a desk looking through the case file.

"What case?" The man turned a page.

"I joined the army, and in Anxin Town, Sanxian County, there was a murder case of a four-life martial artist, and the reporter has brought it." The guard bowed his head.

The man raised his head, revealing a dignified and indifferent face, a face between thirty and forty, without beard.

"Anxin Town?"

"Yes." Pei Ye stepped forward and arched his hand, "Below-"

"I've received this case." The man interrupted, "Someone from Sam County came to inform you in the morning, you can go back." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and continued to look through the case file.

"Oh." Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, "Is the case detailed?" I could describe the old man's behavior again. ”

The man raised his head again, and looked at Pei Li with a pair of eyes: "The young man who knows in the case is you?" ”

"Yes."

"Describe it again."

Pei Ye once again carefully talked about what he had experienced that night, and finally hesitated for a moment and said, "I hope that adults will pay attention, the deceased may die of mental injury." ”

Zhao Shenjun raised his head suddenly, squinted his eyes and said, "How did you find out?" ”

"I'm from Fenghuai." Pei Li said, "When I look at his eyes, it looks like his mind has been injured. ”

The matter of Fenghuai was kept secret from the outside world, but the state government, who was personally involved in the support, heard about the disaster.

Zhao Senjun nodded and said, "You can go back, we will try our best to catch the murderer, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter." ”

Pei Ye arched his hand: "Okay, retire next." ”
