Yang Zhi escorted the supplies back to Zhongjing, Xiao Hu Li Ra had been waiting with the holy decree for five days, Nanjing, West Kyoto did not succeed, Yang Zhi was left in Zhongjing, became Xiao Hu Li Ra's subordinates, in the palace tent army was responsible for clearing the Jin army's latent network from Zhongjing to Xianzhou, and immediately took over the case was to find the grain and grass that the resentful army was robbed. Because of the insistence of Xiao Lira and Yelu Mage, the Liao army is still monitoring the area where the accident occurred, Yang Zhi handed over the grain and cotton clothes to Zen Master Dasen, and rushed to the accident site with Shajing, Hong Rirong and two hundred palace tents.

The place where the accident happened was halfway up the mountain. There was no noise on a cold day, and the whole mountain seemed to be made of silver, shining and shining a little in the sun's rays. The northwest wind swept through people's faces like knives, the long icicles were like crystal short swords, the dead branches squeaked weakly under the weight of icicles and snow, and the soldiers of the Liao army wrapped their padded jackets tightly, and their breathing turned into puffs of white smoke, putting on a look of trying to find it, afraid of missing something and being scolded by their superiors.

The cold wind was biting, Yang Zhi didn't have the heart to enjoy the snow scene, and couldn't wait to see the traces that had completely disappeared; Yang Zhi believed the Liao army's statement, Guo Yaoshi with five hundred horsemen, not at all combat effectiveness, compared with last year's robbery, that is, the resentful army did not have too many casualties, and was fighting from beginning to end. Because when the nearby Liao army was reinforced, the other side had not completely withdrawn from the battlefield, and according to the speed of the pursuit of the large army, the grain truck definitely did not go far, and it should still be somewhere nearby.

The robbers fled in three directions, Yang Zhidu walked according to the guidance of the Liao army participating in the battle, and finally set his eyes on the three-way intersection more than twenty miles away from the accident, along a path at the three-way intersection is a cliff, and below the cliff is a lake. Yang Zhi asked the guide, "Is there a way to the lake below?"

The guide, a local hunter, nodded and said, "Ten miles around, there is a cave that you can drill through." ”

Yang Zhi immediately asked the guide to lead the way, and the team arrived at the entrance of the cave, only to find that the cave was very narrow, and could only accommodate two or three people at most, Yang Zhi sent a team of ten scouts in front, and let Xue Libao take another team of scouts behind, and follow the guide to explore the way. Yang Zhi carried enough pine torches, and as soon as Xue Libao and the others entered the cave, they found that there were traces of people walking in the cave; fortunately, after many days, there was no ambush on the other side of the cave, and both teams of scouts came out of the cave safely.

Yang Zhiliu cooperated with the three hundred Liao troops to guard the entrance of the cave, and he led the two hundred palace tent troops through the cave one after another, but walked to the lake for five miles, and after a little search, he saw a large number of grain trucks at the bottom of the frozen lake, and partially empty transport vehicles hidden in the lost and various dark places, just so that they could not be seen from the cliff. The vehicle was retreated, and the traces of rolling were concealed by the constant snowfall, one was the effect of darkness, and the other was that the fleeing robbers attracted the attention of the Liao army.

Obviously, when the Liao army pursued to the edge of the cliff, the opponent was still busy under the cliff, and the opponent was bold and cunning, and really did it under the light. By the time the Liao army searched again, the robbers had already done what they were supposed to do, and the snow covered everything, and even if a few people occasionally glanced at the edge of the cliff, they couldn't see anything wrong.

Yang Zhi ordered to continue the search, and according to the traces of the other party in the forest, the guide found two trails out, both of which could only be walked by one person, and it was obvious that the food and supplies on the vehicle were transported by the robbers by the ants moving the house. Yang Zhi sent people back to communicate, and asked the three hundred Liao troops outside the cave to come over, and groped out of the mountains with five hundred people, still in the Yanshan Mountains, but on the other side of the mountain, closer to Xingzhong Prefecture and Jinzhou.

The clues were interrupted here, but it can't be said that there is no gain, at least I know what the case is about, and I found the grain truck that was lost at the bottom of the lake, Yang Zhi was not familiar with the situation in Xingzhong Prefecture and Jinzhou, and he was unwilling to act rashly, so he returned to Zhongjing with his headquarters, and handed over the rest of the things to the local government.

The news reached the resentful army camp in Xianzhou, Guo Yaoshi wanted to hit himself in the mouth, at that time Guo Yaoshi passed through that section of the cliff, just bent on catching up with the enemy in front, for the edge of the cliff, subconsciously thought that there was no problem, even if someone jumped off the cliff, nine times out of ten it was dead, what he didn't expect was the grain truck jumping off the cliff. Yelu could only shake his head, Guo Yaoshi and Buddha Nanda were still much worse than Yang Zhi, and even if the grain thrown into the lake came out, it would not be until spring, and the grain could only be dried as horse feed.

Yang Zhi returned to Zhongjing, he didn't need to stay in the barracks for twelve hours, or lived in the Qingma Inn with Hong Rirong and others, Yang Zhi took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, walked downstairs to prepare for dinner, and saw Murong Yuan open the thick door curtain and walk into the store with two food boxes on his face. A string of wind chimes rang half-dead at the door, and Yang Zhi smiled and asked, "Murong Catcher, such a coincidence, is it to see a friend?"

Murong Yuan was familiar with the road, and directly put the food box on the dining table in the inner room and said, "I'm worried that the person who kidnapped Monk Ma is still in Zhongjing, which will be detrimental to Yang's rule, so I came over to discuss the defense measures." ”

Murong Yuan is worthy of being an old oilman in the officialdom, this excuse is very good, Yang Zhi has killed so many Jin people, and now he is responsible for detecting the latent network of Jin people, Yang Zhi's threat to Jin people can be said to be greater than Xiao Lira, if Jin Guo's fine work is to assassinate, not to assassinate Yang Zhixing. At this point, Murong Yuan and Yang Zhi can be said to be peers, no matter what Yang Zhi says, Murong Yuan will not be embarrassed.

Yang Zhi naturally doesn't play smiling people, today is not as usual, at that time he was a guest in Zhongjing, and many things can be ignored, and now he is transferred to the palace tent army, specifically responsible for the safety of Zhongjing Road, and it is inevitable that he will deal with Murong Yuan in the future, and Murong Yuan's visit can be said to be an unexpected opportunity for Yang Zhi. Yang Zhi pulled Murong Yuan to sit down and said, "I heard about Monk Ma, Dadingfu Prison is modeled after Bianliang Prison, and the management should be very strict, and this kind of thing happened, is there any inside story?"

Involved in the Jin State's spies, within the scope of Yang Zhi's inquiry, Murong Yuan didn't feel inappropriate, opened the food box, took out the dishes and said: "There is a knot-level named Miao Tuhu who was bribed, took people into prison in disguise, and rescued Monk Ma, it was our eyes, I didn't expect this kid to be so important." ”

Murong Yuan felt that Miao Tuhu's identity was well hidden, and he did not hesitate to expose it for the sake of Monk Ma; Yang Zhi was even more sure in his heart that Ji Hong was the Golden Vulture, and the relationship between the Golden Vulture and Monk Ma was really good, and only the power of the prince could make the generals of the Jin State Army make such concessions.
