Volume 1 The Rise of Dingxi Chapter 17 Self-Serving as a Smoke and Dust Guest in the World [I]

The time depends on the wind.

He's dead.

Speaking of which, there has not been a homicide in this Dingzhou capital for decades.

The shopkeeper of this inn heard the movement of the upstairs guest room, and when he repeatedly shouted to Xiao Er to no avail, he personally took the lamp to check.

"Isn't this bastard boy lazy and slippery again! What if a rat messes around and disturbs the guests?"

Immediately afterwards, the shopkeeper's round body fell down the steps and crawled out of the store.

"Murder!"

It may be that the lights and pedestrians outside the store gave him a lot of courage, and finally let go of his voice and yelled.

Liu Ruiying, who had just come out of the mansion, also heard the terrible shout that pierced the night sky of Dingzhou Mansion, but he didn't even have the curiosity to do so.

When they entered, it was him and He Youjian.

He came out on his own.

The winner is decided.

It's just that no matter how many glasses of liquor he drank, he couldn't dilute Huo Wang's viper-like eyes, staring at him tightly.

Or rather, staring at your own sword.

"Now that the border war is urgent, it is really taboo for soldiers to change generals on the spot. He Youjian first let him wear the guilt and make meritorious service. If he really fornicates with foreign enemies, then you don't have to worry about the investigation department, and this king will personally behead him. ”

This beautiful sentence is all the explanation that Liu Ruiying has gotten.

He walked down the street in despair, moving forward completely on instinct. Looking back, the gate of Nafu is like a mirage, and there is no one who is coming......

The door of the inn was full of bustling crowds, and Liu Ruiying really took a lot of effort to get in.

I have to mention that the security of Dingzhou Mansion should indeed be excellent.

After about a cup of tea, the sergeant in charge of the city defense had already sealed off the inn and recorded the testimony of the shopkeeper and the little second brother.

Liu Ruiying walked straight to Shi Yifeng's corpse, bent down and looked at him carefully.

There is no different color on the wind surface, and the whole body is as usual.

Only the trachea of the neck has a superficial scar. With a flick of the chopsticks, a large stream of black-purple blood mixed with wine gushed out, wetting the entire placket.

Liu Ruiying was so shocked that he couldn't even hold the chopsticks steadily and fell to the ground.

I heard that an ancient man was forced by the current situation to hear thunder and drop his hoop to hide his domineering heart.

And at this moment, the world is quiet.

Shi Yifeng is known as the Pingnan fast sword, and no matter how the fast sword is, it can also rank in the top five in the Pingnan royal domain.

But his killer stabbed him with a sword as he was breathing and swallowing wine, cut his trachea, and then pulled it out. The action was so fast that the skin and muscles didn't have time to react, and they were still tightly clinging together, only the slightest trace of blood slowly oozing outward.

"What a fast sword this must be!"

The corpse was still warm, but there was not the slightest murderous aura or sword intent felt in the air.

The assassin did not use any cultivation at all, but simply ate and drank.

Out of the sword.

Homicide.

Collect the sword.

The whole process is light and careful.

It seems that a person who is obsessed with cleanliness does not want any stains to stain his clothes, and like a suckling cat playing with wind chimes with its paws with pink meat pads.

With the instantaneous explosion of muscles alone, such a sword of shocking shadows can be achieved,

Liu Ruiying has seen a fast sword, but he has never seen such a fast sword.

Shi Yifeng's sword was beside him, but he didn't even have a chance to draw it.

Pingnan Quick Sword.

These four words became the biggest mockery of him at this moment.

Dingzhou Mansion, Zhongdu Investigation Division Station Building.

Liu Ruiying knew that he couldn't make a difference.

Although the request to capture He Youjian's edict is not an order from the headquarters of the Investigation Division. However, he came to the border of the Dingxi Kingdom to investigate the wolf rider side of the border from Zhongdu, and not only did he not understand the ugliness of the man, but he also folded Shi Yifeng here.

"But the special envoy Liu Ruiying?"

The Investigation Division is spread across the five major royal domains, and there are station buildings in all the state capitals and junctions, with a total of 1808 seats, and 108 people on each floor. Among them, 36 provinces and 72 provinces are under the provincial flag, and a provincial flag serves as the building chief. This one hundred and eight floors are jointly in charge of the four divisions, which is the largest force of the Investigation Department except for the headquarters of the Central Capital, and it is also the biggest reliance of the Investigation Department to investigate the world.

"It was in Xia that I saw the elder of the provincial flag tower. ”

"Liu Cha's envoy is really making me wait!"

As soon as Liu Ruiying entered the door, the building manager greeted him with a smile.

The completely unruly approach made him very confused.

"Four days ago, Jiang Changchong, the provincial governor of Tianmu Province, issued a personal approval. Said that you have made great contributions, and found traces of the activities of the altar and the cloud platform at the border of the Dingxi royal domain, especially the former court commander Zhang Yushu of the altar court. Therefore, you are specially promoted to the provincial flag of Tianmu Province, continue to monitor the two, inspect the border, and inspect the Dingxi Royal Domain. ”

Liu Ruiying looked at the Canglan Cloud Crane handed over by the building chief, and Mu Ne stretched out his hand to take it.

"Liu Xingqi, if you have any needs in Dingzhou, don't be polite, just give me an order at any time!"

The head of the building is also a master who sees the wind and steers, and when he saw Liu Ruiying taking the official uniform, he immediately changed his name. Although he and Liu Ruiying are now both provincial flags, Liu Ruiying is the provincial flag of Tianmu Province in the headquarters, and he directly obeys the orders of the governor. And he's only the first floor. Although the rank is the same, the status is not the same.

Provincial flags.

The second-class official position in Tianmu Province.

Traditionally, there are only three members.

Now counting him Liu Ruiying, Tianmu Province is the four provincial flags.

In the past, it was not without precedents for leapfrogging promotions because of great merit.

However, from the end of the small official to the fourth provincial flag, I am afraid that the history of the Investigation Division is also unique.

Liu Ruiying recalled what the building manager said just now, and she was even more confused.

Tanting, Yuntai, and Ting Ling Zhang Yushu?

It's just that Zhang Xuexue's figure gradually coincides with this title.

"Looks like he asked about my sword ...... too"

Liu Ruiying didn't know what the attraction of this sword that had always accompanied him was, and why everyone couldn't help it.

Since stepping into this Dingzhou capital city, everything that has happened has exceeded his cognition.

But the official uniform has been taken, no matter who did it. It doesn't matter if it's sold or replaced, now it's all him.

For the rest, we can only take one step at a time.

"But there is one thing for the building manager to worry about. ”

"Liu Xingqi, please speak, and do your best when you make up your mind. ”

"Pingnan is a fast sword, and it is the periphery of the development of my investigation department. He's dead. ”

Liu Ruiying said lightly.

"Oh oh! Yes, it is extreme, Shi Yifeng was unfortunately attacked and killed when he was investigating and arresting Liu Xingqi at the border. Someone has been sent to verify the identity, and it will be jointly reported with Liu Xingqi. ”

The building chief was slightly stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then continued.

He knew that Shi Yifeng was killed in the inn, and thought that Liu Ruiying wanted to help cover it up at the moment. After all, no one wants to carry a murder case anymore after being promoted, right? Naturally, the big thing is small, and the hour is small.

"No, the building manager will be mistaken. I really want you to report it with me, but this letter has to be written like this......"

Jiying Town, the Chinese army.

At the same time as Liu Ruiying left, He Youjian secretly rushed to the border from other ways in the mansion.

At this moment, he was wearing the armor when Liu Ruiying came to arrest him that day, with a matching sword hanging from his waist, standing thoughtfully in front of the map.

Even the posture hasn't changed.

Another person walked by on the way.

As long as the halberd guards standing guard saw a single figure wandering outside the gate, they didn't dare to squeak...... Before anyone could get closer, he ran in and reported it.

I don't even know what my name is, so what's the report?

It doesn't matter, anyway, just pull an official out to do the top thing.

"Shen Fuling, that's the person! strange ......"

The halberd leader led Shen Sixuan to the gate of Yuan, but saw that the person had no intention of entering. Instead, he walked farther and farther away, towards the territory of the grassland royal court outside the border.

After just such a short period of effort, I wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

The royal court of the grassland, the left Lu swallows the moon department.

Gong Sifeng of the Third Department served as the commander of the front line and led the troops to confront He Youjian.

Compared with He Youjian's strategy, Wang Ting's side seems to be just a child's play.

In the big tent, Si Feng and his subordinates, accompanied by musicians, danced the unique saber dance of the grassland.

I saw Si Feng holding two knives in his hands, flying up and down with the radical and cheerful music.

He crouched low, alternating kicks with his feet.

With the wrist as the center of the circle, drive the whole arm and dance faster and faster.

In an instant, every inch of space in the camp tent was filled with sword light.

It looks like thunder and rage, but only the sound of whirring wind is heard in your ears.

Suddenly, Si Feng threw a knife high in the air, and then flew up and kicked it to the door frame.

"Sting"

The curtain snapped, revealing a figure.

"Yanzi, you're back?"

Si Feng said with a smile.

Inside the Dingzhou Prefecture.

Not long after Liu Ruiying walked out of the station building, he heard someone calling him from a distance.

"Wow! Brother, your clothes are really not bad! Where did you buy them? It's from Zhongdu, right? Look at this embroidery! Look at this stitch! This satin! Tut-tut, you may not be able to buy it if you travel all over the Dingxi Domain. ”

Liu Ruiying saw that Tang Zhongsong's injured arm was still bandaged around his neck, but he didn't forget to look up and down at his new official uniform. For a while, I felt angry and funny.

Angry that his damn dad calculates himself, laughing at him for still living like this heartless.

That night, Tang Zhongsong desperately poured it into his stomach because of Huo Wang's wine. He vomited early and was carried back to the room by his subordinates, unaware of what was happening next. Now it seems that no one has said a word about him, even after he sobered up.

Is this happiness or sorrow?

"There is a bookstore called Liuguangguan in Fucheng, and a very famous Bojun person came today. I'm an old proponent there, and they left me a vice-seater. How about the investigation, so that the adults can enjoy their faces and listen to the book together?"

Liu Ruiying agreed without thinking about it.

Tang Zhongsong was immediately happy, but his heart was full of doubts.

This Bojun is the storyteller. The so-called never get tired of talking, just for Bojun to smile.

Liuguang Pavilion really deserves to be a good bookstore in Dingzhou Fucheng.

The spacious hall is brightly lit, and even the tea cards are smoked with jasmine.

When you open it, there are dozens of teas and hundreds of refreshments, which are incompatible with the atmosphere of the outer fabric.

"It's really a famous character! You see it's so different!"

The surrounding discussion got into Liu Ruiying's ears.

The location of the Ryukokan to Yuchumatsu is naturally excellent.

He looked up at the storyteller, and the good fellow didn't startle him!

Although the age cannot be seen on the face, the ravines and folds cannot be faked.

He wears a hat on his head and a long knife at his waist.

You have to say that he is here to sing a play of "War of Peace" today, and everyone believes it.

"That's weird! I've heard about books for so long... What is the use of the past to satirize the present, talk about the past and talk about the present, and shake the past and the present...... Anyway, I've seen everything in the past and everything in the present! But brother, look at this banner pulled up, what does it mean to collect ancient and modern sellers?"

Liu Ruiying frowned and fell into deep thought, although he hadn't been to the bookstore much on weekdays. But it was the first time he had heard of the word "collecting ancient dealers" alone.

"Collect, buy, sell, sell. Collecting antiquities and selling today is buying the past and selling the present, do you know this inquirer?"

As soon as the storyteller's voice fell, he cheered and cheered.

It's said that there is a famous actor, who doesn't want to join in the fun? Even if it is not his turn to cheer on the scene, it is also a shame to listen calmly. Who would have thought that this storyteller would make such a play.

"Smack!"

The storyteller paid no attention to the commotion in the room.

He picked up his long knife and slapped it on the table, and it was used as a stroking ruler.

The person who had already walked to the door was in a dilemma, but the one who had just stood up was embarrassed to leave, so he had to sit down.
