Chapter 4 The Tiger Marquis asked about the scheme, and Zhao Zhuo acted into the secret department

In the big tent, the three of them were silent.

The wind lifted and sank like water, Luan Ying was thoughtful, and Zhao Zhuo was caused by his identity and did not dare to speak out.

Among the three, Feng Yang was the first to come back to his senses, looked at Luan Ying and asked, "Luan Ying, what do you think about the matter of Daomen?"

Luan Ying raised his head from his contemplation, saluted first, and said after a moment of silence: "Master Hou, the records in the secret codex, combined with what Zhao Zhuo saw with his own eyes, even if some of them are false, it is enough to prove that there is indeed such an extraordinary force in this world, let's call it the Dao Gate according to the record of the secret book." For a long time, they have been hiding in the shadows, and even if they occasionally appear in the world, they are immediately hidden. Judging from the records of the secret texts, they have unknown skills to reach the sky, just like the gods of folklore. Although they have the means to the sky, they do not seem to have any intention of fighting for domination, and they do not interfere in the struggles of our world, and this force does not seem to be monolithic. According to the secret texts, this force behaves in different ways, and in our worldly view, there is a division between good and evil, and each has its own color, just like the major forces in our world, although they belong to the same kind, but they have different doors. ”

Feng Yang nodded with satisfaction, ordinary people often have no idea where to start when they encounter today's situation, let alone analyze useful information from clues. However, Luan Ying was able to accurately capture the key points and extend them in such a short period of time with only limited information, and he really deserved the name of "God's Eye". He is preparing to promote a group of young generals in the army, and this Luan Ying is the best one he is inspecting.

Feng Yang looked at Luan Ying and motioned for him to continue.

Luan Ying thought for a moment, and then said: "The Daomen is secretive, does not leave any whereabouts, and does not communicate with the world. In other words, there is an exchange that is also one-sided, and never leaves tangible evidence. Our understanding of the Daomen is completely vague. We don't know where the door is, we don't know the strength of the door, we don't know what the purpose of their actions is, and we don't know what their attitude is towards us. All our knowledge of Daomen is limited to the records in this secret book and the encounter of the grain transportation team in Zhao Zhuo's mouth this time, which can be described as a scale and half a claw, and a leopard in the tube. ”

Feng raised his head and said: "You are right, my Feng family's Five Elements Secret Department does not dare to say that it is unparalleled in the world, but it is also the world's leading spy agency, almost pervasive on the mainland, but after a hundred years, only such an ethereal Dao Gate secret record is left, and the secret of the Dao Gate can be seen, so what do you think we should do next?"

"I think," Luan Ying pondered for a moment, "it is imperative that we still investigate the intelligence of the Daomen." This incident is the first real contact we have with the Daomen, and from the perspective of its actions, it shows at least two characteristics of the Daomen. First, the methods of the Daomen are very different from the world, and only a few people can slaughter more than 2,000 elites of our army, which shows that its strength is incomparable! Second, the rules of the Daomen are by no means the same as those in our world, the other party does not declare the reason, does not tell the right and wrong, and is so ruthless and simple, taking away human lives, and the people who do it completely regard us as pigs, dogs, birds and beasts, and regard us as grass mustard ants, and do not care, so we must not infer the affairs of the Daomen according to the common sense of the world. This time, we made contact with the Daomen and suffered heavy losses, which at least shows that this group of Daomen people is by no means friends with us, and no one can guarantee whether they will attack us in the future. Even if it is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, we must be prepared, because the threat to us from the other side is too great. The last general suggested that next, mobilize the power of the Five Elements Secret Department, and use this Daomen Secret Book as a direction to concentrate on investigating all the information related to the Daomen. ”

Feng Yang nodded: "Yes, the more times like this, the more we have to be more careful, the means of the Dao Gate are comparable to ghosts and gods, we must be on guard." In recent years, the Three Kingdoms have recuperated and recuperated, and the national strength has flourished, but the world has not yet been unified, and Your Majesty will not be willing to stick to the old land, if I expected, the world will have to fight again. As the number one martial artist of the Great Wei Dynasty, my Feng family is favored by the emperor, and I should expand the territory for His Majesty, and we must not let the Daomen become a potential threat to us, and hinder it in the future. ”

"What Hou Ye said is extremely true. Luan Ying clasped his hands as a salute and said: "Today's saint is a rare emperor of my Great Wei, since His Majesty's registration, considering the national policy, recuperation, and now the sea is peaceful, the national strength is prosperous, and the end will believe that the future will dominate the world, and it will be my Great Wei who will determine the future." ”

Feng Yang nodded, with a deep meaning in his eyes, and said, "Luan Ying, if it were you, how would you investigate the matter of Daomen next?"

As soon as he touched Feng Yang's eyes, Luan Ying knew that Feng Yang had something to say, but he couldn't understand his meaning for a while, he thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, but soon bowed down and said: "The last general is a reckless person, the wisdom of size, if you let the last general operate this matter, the last general will have no clue for a while, but Hou Ye asked, and the last general dared to set up three questions here for Hou Ye's reference." First, what kind of force did the people who killed and burned our grain army belong to the Daomen? Second, what was their purpose in slaughtering our grain army? Third, if the Daomen attacked again, would we have a way to deal with it?"

At first glance, Luan Ying's words seem to be self-effaceted, and the three questions set are also unremarkable, but Feng Yang already understands Luan Ying's intentions. As soon as he asked, he hinted that he wanted to activate Luan Ying and let him enter the Five Elements Secret Department to investigate the matter of the Daomen, which was a step to the sky for Luan Ying, but Luan Ying refused very vaguely. The secret department of the Five Elements is an important department of the Feng family, Luan Ying knows that he wants to control such a force, even if it is only to share part of the power, it is far from being able to do it now, so he will find out his shortcomings between words, first of all, he was born recklessly, not the Feng family, and secondly, his talent is limited, and it is difficult to be a heavy responsibility, please Feng Yang make a decision again, and then asked three questions, which can be regarded as answering Feng Yang's inquiry. Feng Yang is also a temporary idea, and there is still a little bit of testing, and now being rejected makes him appreciate Luan Ying more, you are valuable and self-aware, although the Five Elements Secret Department is good, but it is not suitable for Luan Ying This kind of general, staying in the army to develop is more suitable for him.

Although Luan Ying's three questions are simple, they are also to the point, and after careful consideration, you can find the deep meaning in Luan Ying's words.

Now that it is a foregone conclusion to deal with the matter of Daomen, the two parties are facing each other, and the first thing to know is who the other party is, which is the first question of Luan Ying. But Luan Ying asked a simple question, vaguely distinguishing the target of the investigation from the entire Daomen. Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Before knowing the true strength of the door, it is necessary to avoid risks and treat them separately. This is the case with military long-distance and close-range attacks. Secondly, there is the second question, what is the purpose of this group of people in the Daomen to slaughter our grain army? Luan Ying's question seems ordinary, but in fact it has a deep meaning. There may be two situations in which the Daomen people moved, one is that the other party is deliberately targeting, and the other is that there are other reasons, and the grain transportation team is just happening at the meeting, not the direct target of the other party. If the other party is not directly targeting us, then whether we still need to take the risk of the unknown to entangle with the other party needs to be reconsidered. The third question, as far as Feng Yang is concerned, is both an inquiry and a reminder. If the Feng family wants to be an enemy of the Daomen, can they have the means to contain the other party? These three questions seem to be gradually deepening and coherent with each other, but they are relatively independent. Depending on the attitude, different coping strategies can be formulated. If the other party is not directly targeting us, and Feng Yang decides not to investigate further, he can back down as a principle, avoid conflict with him, and if possible, even contact the other party to make a statement. Although this is weak, it can avoid risks at the lowest cost, and Feng Yang has been tempered by the battlefield and officialdom for a long time, and can fully accept this price. On the contrary, if the other party is a friend or foe or Feng Yang is determined to completely wipe out this force in order to prevent future troubles, then he must be fully prepared, and any future plan must include the influence of the Daomen, and all the information of the Daomen needs to be investigated as soon as possible, in order to find the weaknesses of the other party and find the means to deal with the Daomen. In this way, you can take the initiative and not be controlled by others. But correspondingly, Feng Yang also bears unknown risks and threats. Because no one knows how powerful the Dao Sect that has been in the shadows is, and whether the Feng family and even the entire Great Wei can match it?

Feng Yang's eyes were slightly closed, and he fell into deep thought, and Luan Ying kept bowing after asking three questions, and did not say a word. He knows that his hints are well known, and the king is like a tiger, and the superior is often like a tiger taking a nap, and others don't know when the tiger will wake up and devour people. It was Luan Ying who answered Feng Yang's inquiry with three questions, and did not directly state what he thought in his heart, but avoided the important and trivial, and answered with questions, secretly meaning that he would persuade Feng Yang to be safe, and turn big things into small things, he didn't know if Feng Yang would blame him for this, and he was also worried at the moment.

Ning Yu, it should be Zhao Zhuo now. He is now fully integrated into Zhao Zhuo's role, his divine soul is extremely powerful, and every word and deed and even subtle changes in the expressions of everyone in the account are under his control. He now perfectly presented Zhao Zhuo's performance, with appropriate panic and hesitation on his face.

The previous rhetoric has already been deduced by him countless times, and now the performance of Luan Ying and Feng Yang is still expected. According to his plan, except for the fact that he concealed the fact that he possessed Zhao Zhuo through the Soul Transfer Pill, all the rest was revealed, and there was not a word of falsehood, and he showed the cultivation realm to Feng Yang and Luan Ying for the first time. He knew that Zhao Zhuo, as a member of the Black Tiger Army, had served the Black Tiger Army for generations, and had an innocent background, and Feng Yang would never doubt this. What he said was so bizarre that it was more believable. Because only a fool would make up such a story to deceive a superior who can control his life and death.

What to do next depends on how Feng Yang decides. If Feng Yang follows Luan Ying's thoughts and no longer pursues this matter, he will consider waiting for an opportunity to break away from the Feng family and find a way out, as the only survivor of the grain transportation army, he will know the secret of the Daomen. is different from Luan Ying, who is just a junior colonel in the army, even if he is not killed, he can't escape the fate of being imprisoned. But if Feng Yang decided to fight with the cultivation realm, then he would choose to stay and take the opportunity to enter the Five Elements Secret Division. In this way, he could use the origin of the investigation of the cultivation realm to explore everywhere, so that he did not have to be stuck here, so that he could easily act in secret, and he could also collect cultivation needs everywhere. As long as conditions permitted, he was sure that he would have the resources needed to cultivate to his true artistic conception. As for the future, with the cultivation of the true artistic conception, he can enter the cultivation realm and look for it again.

Muddy the waters, fish in troubled waters, and pull the cultivation realm and the world off the chess game, this is Ning Yu's plan.

As a casual cultivator, Ning Yu does not have the support of the sect, and many things need to be done by himself, so he has learned a lot in his life, and he has dabbled in the cultivation of the four arts of elixir, refining weapons, talismans, and formations, although he is not a grandmaster-level figure, but he also has a deep foundation and attainments. As long as the resources are sufficient, he will be able to resume his cultivation. He is well aware of the cruelty of the cultivation realm, which has always been respected by the strong, and the weak eat the strong. Killing people and snatching treasures and snatching cultivation resources is not uncommon in the cultivation realm. His strength is low now, and he must take the principle of preserving himself as the principle, as for what will happen after the convergence of immortals and customs, Ning Yu has no time to worry. The cultivator goes against the sky, there is no distinction between good and evil, he is the only one, then no matter how big it is, what he needs is patience, he has to lurk in the world, everything needs to be careful, and he can do things slowly but not in a hurry. He speculated that the Seven Star Devils had failed to discover where their souls were before, and they would definitely not give up, presumably they had already used the power of the Ghost Romans to start searching for themselves all over the world. He was fortunate to have this opportunity, and he must not bear even the slightest mistake, otherwise the end waiting for him can only be a soul flying away and falling into reincarnation forever.

The big tent was silent, and it had already passed the tea effort, and Feng Yang was still frowning deeply, closing his eyes and thinking deeply. Luan Ying remained motionless in a half-bowed posture. Although Ning Yu didn't see it, under his spirit, he could clearly see the fine beads of sweat on Luan Ying's forehead.

"You get up!" After about half an hour, there was a sound of wind blowing in her ears, Luan Ying's hanging heart finally let go, bowed deeply, and stood aside with her hands down.

To Luan Ying's surprise, Feng Yang didn't ask himself again, but turned to look at Zhao Zhuo on the bed, and asked, "Zhao Zhuo, what do you think Ben Hou should be?"

Luan Ying turned her head to look and saw that Zhao Zhuo was stunned, as if she was surprised, and hurriedly struggled to kneel. Due to the action of pulling the wound, there was a faint hint of red on his chest, and then his face was already white, Zhao Zhuo slammed his head on the bed, and said in a trembling voice: "Hou Ye, the little one will die! Such a big thing depends on Hou Ye's words, how can the villain be allowed to put his beak? No matter what Hou Ye decides, the small one will never give up! As for the others, the little rat will never dare to speak!"

Feng Yang showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then he was relieved, and said: "Zhao Zhuo, you don't have to be afraid! General Luan Ying can testify, no matter what you say, Benhou forgives you for your innocence! Just say what you think in your heart! If it were you, what would you do?"

"The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare!" Zhao Zhuo kowtowed repeatedly, "The little ones die, the little ones die!"

Feng Yang stared at Zhao Zhuo for a while, and said warmly: "Zhao Zhuo, your Zhao family has served my Feng family for generations, your father Zhao Sanlin, when he personally followed me to fight in Taihang, the battle of Qifengkou, he followed Ben Hou in the enemy formation three times in and three out, was cut off a left arm, still desperately killed the enemy, dozens of wounds on his body, and almost died. There are thousands of soldiers in the Tiger Army, all of whom are loyal to the Feng family, and you are the foundation of my Feng family! If I ask you to talk about your thoughts, you will say it boldly! Why are the iron-blooded men of the Black Tiger Army so timid? Are you still afraid that I will kill you?"

Zhao Zhuo raised his head, his tiger eyes were full of tears, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master Hou, the little one is not afraid of death! Since the army came, the little one has also fought dozens of times on the battlefield, and the little one is not afraid of death! But the small ones have experienced things, the small ones know the severity, and the small ones are afraid to say it, which affects the decision of the Hou Ye and causes disaster to our Feng family, and the little ones will die and cannot be redeemed!"

Feng Yang said solemnly: "It doesn't hurt if you say it, Ben Hou has his own decision!"

Zhao Zhuo slammed his head on the bed, then struggled to kneel up straight, and then raised his head with blood poured into his eyes, and his eyes were sad: "Master Hou, since you let the little one say it, the little one will dare to speak." A small big soldier, who does not understand military affairs, has been selected into the Black Tiger Army for three years after enlisting in the army, and it has only been two years and six months to this day, but I grew up listening to my father tell the story of our Black Tiger Army. The little ones don't understand any big truths, and they know that when they join the Black Tiger Army, the little ones feel arrogant, and other people have to look down on us! This time we transported grain, and we ran into this bullshit door, like a demon! That kind of appearance, the little ones have never seen it in their lives, and the little ones trembled with fear at the time, and the brothers were all afraid! But the little ones looked at it, and none of the brothers coaxed them! Song Blind, Yao Yuan, and Wang Dachun, there was no one! Hou Ye, the little ones didn't know how the Hou Ye decided, and the little ones felt sorry for our brothers! These brothers, those are not good men, are they just gone?

Zhao Zhuo couldn't cry in the end, knelt on the bed, and cried.

Feng Yang listened to Zhao Zhuo's words expressionlessly, his eyes were deep, and he looked at Luan Ying again, and with just one glance, Luan Ying understood that there was no other words, just a deep bow.

Feng Yang walked to the center of the big tent and stood with his hands in his hands, like Fengyue: "The ancestor of our Feng family was originally the general of the Taizu family, and he started with the Taizu in the troubled times of the previous dynasty. My ancestors were valued by the Emperor and commanded an army. The ancestors went to rot and save the essence, leaving 3,000 men and horses, 600 people as a banner, a total of five flags, which is the predecessor of the five armies of the tiger. After several years of warfare, the Five Banners Army was crippled several times, but the ancestors were never discouraged and were always able to rebuild the new army, until the Five Banners Army developed and grew into the Five Tigers and the Five Armies, and since then they have dominated the world, and it is rare to meet opponents! The Five Banners of the Five Banners have been able to create such a prestigious reputation, and the scale they have reached today is not because of the sharpness of the armor and the sharpness of the soldiers, nor because of the unparalleled generals, but because of the indomitable soul of the Tiger Army! If the army has no soul, it will have no prestige, no front, and will be defeated in every battle! If I ignore the death of 2,000 soldiers today, how will the 100,000 people of the five armies of the Tiger and the millions of soldiers and civilians in the six counties of the Feng family think of my Feng family? How do you think of my Feng family? The blood of today's 2,000 soldiers is the blood of my Feng family, and the hatred of today's 2,000 soldiers is the enemy of my Feng family! The Feng family has always paid for its blood debts and blood, and if there is revenge, it will be avenged! The people in the Daomen today burned my grain and grass, slaughtered my subordinates, killed my brothers and sisters, and violated our military prestige!

Feng Yang turned back suddenly, and his voice was like a golden stone: "I, the mighty tiger Hou Feng Yang, swear here! I will find out the murderer of today's bloody case, comfort my tiger soul, raise the prestige of our army, and sacrifice the heroic souls of all soldiers with the blood and bones of the enemy, so as to tell the sky!"

"Master Hou, the little one thanks the Hou Ye for the dead brothers!" Zhao Zhuo knocked his head three times in a row, wiped his tears with his sleeves, and raised his fists and said: "The little one applies to join the Five Elements Secret Department and investigates the Daomen! Avenge the brothers! Please fulfill the Hou Ye!"

"That's it!" Feng Yang nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the curtain of the big tent moved slightly, and there was already one more person in the tent. The man was dressed in black, with a jet-black mask covering his face, revealing only two eye sockets. He took two steps forward, standing in front of Feng Yang with his crossed hands, and the whole process was silent. Ning Yu's soul swept over, this person has an innate to the Yuan Shang grade cultivation, and then he is a master of the Yuan Saint Realm who is a saint in the world.

"Dust Shadow, erase Zhao Zhuo's military membership and enter it into the secret department. For the time being, it will be included by your soil department, and after the assessment, it will be officially compiled. After Feng Yang instructed the comer, he turned his head to Zhao Zhuo and said: "The Five Elements Secret Department is the eyes and ears of my Feng family, hidden underground, and will never see the light. When you enter the secret department, you are no longer you, and you have to give up all the things you have done. If you join the secret department, your family will move into the county and be protected, do you understand?"

Ning Yu said in his heart: "I'm afraid that the protection is fake, and the control is real." However, Zhao Zhuo has gone, Ning Yu is reborn, and the dust is concerned, and it has nothing to do with me. I just need to save their lives, and I can be regarded as worthy of Zhao Zhuo's soul-melting grace. ”

At that moment, he hugged his fists and said: "The little one understands, Xie Houye!"

Feng Yang nodded: "I will explain, there will be an order in the army in the near future, and I will say that you will be transferred from your original post and you will be appointed." From this day forward, you will not show your face in the army. After a while, I will tell you to go down and recuperate here in peace, and when you have recovered from your injuries, someone will contact you, and then you will leave with them. If you need to deal with everything in your family, you can explain it in advance, and I will arrange someone to help you do it. Do you have any more requirements?"

"No, the old father in the family has a younger brother to take care of, so there is no need for the Hou Ye to worry about it. As long as he can help his brothers take revenge, the little one has nothing else to ask for! Xie Hou Ye is complete!" Zhao Zhuo stood up again, and at this moment, a blood red had already appeared on the bandage on his chest, obviously the wound had opened again.

"Okay, you can recuperate first, let's go. Feng Yang raised his hand and motioned for Zhao Zhuo to lie down, glanced back at Luan Ying, and took the lead out of the big tent, followed by Luan Ying and Chenying.

The wind lifted out of the big tent and ordered to the flying tiger guards standing on both sides: "You must guard the big tent, and no one is allowed to approach without my order!"

The Flying Tiger Guards on both sides stepped forward and responded: "No!"

Feng Yang turned to Luan Ying again and said, "You come with me." "Go to the big tent of the Chinese army first.

"Yes. Luan Ying followed.

After taking two steps, I suddenly realized that when I looked back, the shadow of the man in black just now had disappeared. Luan Ying's heart sank, with his innate cultivation in the Yuan Realm, this person was able to leave silently, and his cultivation was at least two realms higher than his own, and at worst he was also a master of the Yuan Realm. can guard the wind at any time, and it should be a personal guard sent by the Five Elements Secret Department. It is rumored that the masters of the Five Elements Secret Department are like clouds, and there are many talents, which is not a lie.

Putting away her thoughts, Luan Ying buried her head in catching up with the wind.

The soldiers who met the two along the way saluted, and Feng Yang casually asked them to get up.

The two of them did not say a word on the road, and marched to the Chinese army together.
