Zhang Shaoyang was able to save the day this time, in fact, the most important thing to thank was Liu Lang's generous gift, if there was no soul bead, there would be no introduction that could nourish the meridians, and naturally it would be impossible to bring the dead back to life so easily.

You must know that this soul bead is the treasure of the Zhizhou Mansion, and Liu Lang has no friendship with him, only one side of the relationship, and can send the soul bead, on the one hand, it is for the sake of the tiger-shaped door and Yuan Ying's face, and on the other hand, it just shows that this Liu Gongzi is really kind-hearted.

Zhang Shaoyang asked himself if he couldn't do it, so he was even more grateful to Liu Lang.

In any case, I have to go to the door to visit and thank you, not to mention that now this kind of thing has happened in the Zhizhou Mansion, and it is impossible to leave because I can't enter the city gate, and the three of them are worried about how to enter the city.

When the voice was near, I realized that it was a group of officers and soldiers, all of whom were in the uniforms of the feudal army, and there were two sentries in the front carrying three small flags, and they were running quickly towards the city gate.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the minister will arrive in Chang'an in a few days, and the idle people are not allowed to stay here, leave quickly. ”

The two sentries took the lead in giving the order, and the officers and soldiers behind them were about 100 people, and quickly cleared the flow of people in front of the city gate, and then surrounded a defensive line outside the city gate, and the entire Chang'an City was more heavily guarded.

"Sure enough, the ministers of the Qin Mission have all been rerouted to Chang'an, and it seems that it is really related to those murders in Jiangnan Province. After everyone had withdrawn half a mile from the city gate, the merchant sighed.

"Brother, what is the murder case in Jiangnan Province you said, tell us about it!" Zhang Shaoyang touched the man and asked with interest.

At this moment, there were many people gathered around the merchant, most of them were natives of Chang'an, and it was the first time they heard of such a thing, so they all echoed and asked the merchant.

The merchant glanced at the officers and soldiers in the distance, and then lowered his voice and said: " In the past half a year, four state and county officials have died on Jiangnan Road, I heard that they were all pierced through the heart, killed by one blow, I have a friend who is a man, it is said that after the Zhizhou of Xiangyang City was killed, he also participated in the autopsy, saying that there are two wounds two fingers wide connected, which seems to be a sword wound, but the skin and flesh are turned out, and it does not look like a sword wound, he has been performing an autopsy for many years, and he can't determine what weapon he killed, but it is certain that the murderer is a master of the rivers and lakes, and a blow will cut the heart, and there is no possibility of survival. ”

Yao Sanming raised his eyebrows: "The two wounds are connected, and the flesh is turned out?"

The merchant glanced at the sloppy old man, and sighed: "No, it is said that these officials are all generals who came down from the battlefield in the past, and now that the country is stable, they are about to enjoy Qingfu, but they didn't expect to encounter accidents." ”

"Could it be that the revenge of the remnants of the previous dynasty is coming?" someone whispered.

"That's probably the case, hey, which dynasty and generation hasn't had such a thing?"

A group of people were still talking about something, Yao Sanming walked straight out of the crowd, and then looked at the tall city walls of Chang'an City.

"Master, did you think of something? ”

"The old man finally understands why the Zhaolin military captain you mentioned has something to do with the ink pool. ”

Zhang Shaoyang was a little confused, Yao Sanming smiled, and continued: "Do you think about the two Zhaolin soldiers who died behind the Sword Furnace Mountain in the world, are the wounds on their bodies the same as what he said?"

Zhang Shaoyang pondered for a while, then his expression was stunned, and he said, "Master, when you say this, it is exactly the same as what he said. ”

"On this river and lake, the only one who can pierce such a wound is the twelve-toothed handle. ”

"Twelve-toothed?"

It was the first time Zhang Shaoyang heard of such a strange sword name, and he couldn't help asking: "Is this twelve-toothed sword very powerful?

"Hehe, most of the sword list is a wasted name, and the owner of the twelve teeth, I'm afraid it's far away, the twelve teeth are not ranked on the sword list, and even the original and its owner are nameless, and then there were several famous duels, only to be known by the people of the rivers and lakes, this sword has a total of twelve fine teeth, the lethality is huge, so it is called the twelve teeth by the people of the rivers and lakes. ”

"According to Master, this sword belongs to the ink pool. Could it be that all the officials who were killed were done by the ink pool?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, which can just explain why the Zhaolin Army in Xiangyang appeared in the sword furnace of the world, presumably the captain has already set his sights on the ink pool. ”

"Obediently, Chen Zijing is really amazing. Zhang Shaoyang said in amazement.

"It's a pity, he underestimated the ink pool too much, this murderous organization that has existed for hundreds of years, how can it be so easy to be tracked, and in the end it will only lose its soldiers. ”

"But Master, why did this Jianghu organization assassinate the officials of the imperial court, could it be that they are the remnants of the previous dynasty?"

Yao Sanming shook his head: "No, this organization has always been hired by people to make a move, and it should be due to some interests." ”

As he was talking, a puff of smoke and dust rolled up on the official road in the distance, and this time the sound of horses' hooves was even louder, and the momentum was as majestic as thousands of troops and horses advancing, and everyone looked at that side in surprise, but it was only a few dozen horses, and there was such a formation.

When the horses approached, Zhang Shaoyang recognized at a glance that it was the clothing of the Zhaolin Army, and at the front of the team, a general in armor slowed down his horse, and dozens of horsemen behind him moved in unison, and the general carried two short spears behind his back, and Zhang Shaoyang recognized it as Chen Zijing at a glance.

As soon as these Zhaolin troops arrived, they immediately overwhelmed the previous hundreds of feudal armies in momentum, the name of the Zhaolin army was given by the emperor himself, but the team that could match the forbidden army was naturally much stronger than ordinary soldiers.

Chen Zijing glanced at the surrounding crowd, and after not seeing anything abnormal, he waved his hand, and suddenly all the soldiers under his command dispersed, and did not form any special formation, but scattered around the city gate at random, and invisibly controlled everything within a radius of ten zhang.

Chen Zijing waved his hand and called the two soldiers to give a few words, and then got on the horse again, and galloped towards the road when he just came.

Under Chen Zijing's escort, a group of men and horses slowly approached, and then the closed city gate opened, waiting for the carriage to enter the city.

In fact, now Chang'an City is in a state of panic, and the vassal army has blocked all the city gates, as long as it is long-eyed, it will not choose to make trouble at this time, what about the masters of the rivers and lakes? Who can withstand the hundreds of bows and crossbows and the repeated attacks that are not afraid of death?

Therefore, the minister of the Qin mission entered the city very smoothly, there was no obstacle at all, Liu Lang took a few attendants out of the city to greet him at the city gate, Chen Zijing broke in the back, and after the Qin mission team entered the city, an abrupt voice sounded in the crowd: "General Chen, the younger brother wants to enter the city, General Chen is convenient." ”

Looking at Zhang Shaoyang, who was held up by two soldiers of the Zhaolin Army, Chen Zijing, who was going to enter the city with the team, stopped, hesitated, and walked towards Zhang Shaoyang.

"General Chen, do you remember me, Xiangyang City, Wuzhuang Temple. Zhang Shaoyang said excitedly.

Zhang Shaoyang didn't impulsively want to die, just because Chang'an City is so heavily guarded now, if you don't take the risk to give it a try, you can't enter the city at all, and even if you enter the city, it is impossible to enter the Zhizhou Mansion, so it's better to try if you can climb the relationship with Chen Zijing.

"Is that you?"

"Yes, it's me, I didn't expect to see you here, fate. Zhang Shaoyang said with a hippie smile.

"Tell me, what's the matter. ”

"We want to go into the city, do you think we can be accommodating?"

"No, you can't. Chen Zijing said two words simply and directly.

Zhang Shaoyang was not discouraged, and said with a smile: "General Chen, you do me a favor, and I'll tell you a piece of news that you must care about." ”

Chen Zijing's expression did not change, and he said lightly: "What news can you have that I care about!"

"I saw a few soldiers of the Zhaolin Army in Luoyang a few days ago, does the general care?"

After Zhang Shaoyang finished speaking, he paid attention to the subtle changes in Chen Zijing's expression, and sure enough, the corners of Chen Zijing's mouth rose slightly: "It's a little interesting, come with me." ”

The three of them followed Chen Zijing into the city, Chen Zijing deliberately blocked Zhang Shaoyang and the three of them, and opened a distance from the carriage in front, Zhang Shaoyang understood that Chen Zijing was already very face-saving if he could let them into the city, if he was close to the car by inch, this guy would definitely take action immediately.

"It's already in town, let's talk. ”

Zhang Shaoyang glanced at Yao Sanming, the latter nodded slightly, and Zhang Shaoyang said straightforwardly: "General Chen, a few days ago, we heard two screams near the Tianxia Sword Furnace, and when we followed the sound, we saw two dead bodies, wearing the military uniforms of the Zhaolin Army, but unfortunately the two officials had already lost their breath when we rushed there, and the strange thing is that the wounds of these two people turned outward, not like they were killed by ordinary weapons." ”

When Zhang Shaoyang said, Chen Zijing's face has been calm, his eyes are staring at Zhang Shaoyang's face, for him, there are countless people who have read it, and a simple action can tell whether the person who spoke is lying, but he didn't see anything wrong, the two soldiers were naturally sent out by him, and the news will be sent back every two days, and recently it has been completely lost, Chen Zijing expected that these two people had encountered an accident, and now he got the exact news from Zhang Shaoyang's mouth, he still frowned slightly.

"Don't tell anyone about this news again. ”

"Don't worry, I was going to go back to Xiangyang and tell you again, but since I met here, I will send you as a favor. ”

Chen Zijing felt that this guy was quite interesting, and his guard gradually disappeared, and he was about to ask them why they wanted to enter Chang'an City, but the first soldier in front of him quickly ran back, and then said, "My lord, Lord Qincha asked you to go." ”

"Good. Chen Zijing responded, glanced at Zhang Shaoyang and the others, and then walked forward quickly.

......

"The last general has seen Lord Chincha. ”

Tang Mingli listened to the majestic voice outside the car, opened his eyes, lifted the curtain, and saw Chen Zijing entering with the carriage.

Tang Mingli glanced at the soldiers of the Zhaolin Army around the carriage, and said softly: "There is General Lao Chen along the way, and now that he has entered Chang'an City, General Chen can let your people relax a little, and they don't have to be so nervous." ”

Tang Mingli is a scholar, and his speech is not as thick as Chen Zijing, so he naturally has a Confucian and elegant voice.

Chen Zijing grinned: "This is the duty of the last general, although he entered the city, but the last general thought that it was better to be careful, after all, Chang'an is not at peace now." ”

"The general bothered. Tang Mingli glanced at the back of the team along the curtain, and after seeing the three people in ordinary clothes, he frowned slightly and asked, "Who are those three people?"

"Oh, I had an intersection in Xiangyang before, and just let the last general take them into the city, and the last general put them at the back of the team and followed them into the city, and let them leave after a while. ”

"Since it's someone General Chen knows, it doesn't hurt to follow behind. Tang Mingli glanced at Zhang Shaoyang a few more times, smiled, and then closed the car curtain, somehow, the originally warm smile slowly solidified, and finally turned into a sneer.

Chen Zijing retreated, for Chen Zijing, who was born as a military general and was also known as a Confucian general in the army, he did not hate civilian officials like ordinary military generals, on the contrary, he also respected Confucianism and Taoism.

You can use brutal force to fight the country, and you must use the gentle means of recuperation to defend the country, so there is a saying that famous generals were born in troubled times and prosperous literati are coquettish.

You must know that the minister of the Qin Mission, but the emperor's will, the Qin Mission's place is like the emperor's visit, this kind of honor is added, it is not easy to get in and out, this surnamed Tang Qin Mission, not only did not put any Qin Mission, but even the entourage from the capital is also pitiful, only ten people, just like the level of a local seven-grade official. The main thing is that when talking to him, there is no overbearing posture.

In general, the adult in front of him, Chen Zijing was not disgusted, but a little admired, he walked back to the back of the team, parallel to Zhang Shaoyang, and soon arrived at the Zhizhou Mansion, which had been replaced with a huge condolence couplet with black letters on a white background.
