Chapter Seventy-Two: Departure
Waiting for Ruan Shizhong to go down to the hall, Xu Yang turned around, faced the doubts of the guards, and said with a smile: "Where to go to Tian Guinong, I have some eyebrows." ”。
As he spoke, he took out the information about Tian Guinong that Yu Wanting had handed over to him before from his arms.
Of course, it was re-transcribed, and only the information of Tian Guinong was retained.
When several guards saw the contents of this information, their eyes widened wider than walnuts.
"Is this information credible?" asked the guard, trembling.
This is not a joke, being able to catch the field and return to the farmer, and let him run away, for this mission, is the difference between success and failure, and for these guards, it is the difference between promotion and reprimand.
"Absolutely credible, Tian Guinong has nowhere to go now, and if he goes north, it is deep in the mountains and Daze, and now the weather outside the gate is still extremely cold, and the possibility of him going north is very low. Xu Yang analyzed step by step and told the situation: "To go east to the sea, he doesn't have the courage, go west, enter the prairie, he may not be able to come out again." ”
The guards listened to this analysis and nodded their heads.
Xu Yang pointed to the map: "Only by taking risks, going the opposite way, going south, to Yinmachuan, which he has been operating for many years, can he have a chance to make a comeback." On the other hand, the closer he got to the imperial capital, the less likely he was to be discovered, and no one would have thought that he would hide in the most dangerous place. ”
"The three caves of the cunning rabbit, if he has other hiding places, it may not be known, so this way is only to analyze the most likely foothold of Tian Guinong, as for other places, it still needs to be understood more among those people in Tianlongmen. ”
The guards listened to these analyses and nodded again and again, unanimously agreeing that Xu Yang's analysis was very accurate, Tian Guinong is now at the end of his rope, where can he go if he doesn't drink Machuan?
"It's better to go to Yinmachuan first, if Tian Guinong is already hiding in the cottage, we just want to arrest him, if he hasn't arrived yet, why don't we capture the cottage first, and then wait for the rabbit in the village?" a guard with a slight brain, pretending to be clever, asked rhetorically.
"Haha, this guard, what you said makes sense, the question is ......" Xu Yang was inconvenient to directly scold him for being an idiot, so he had to pretend to be a hypocrisy, and after muttering for a long time, he looked at the anxious expressions of the guards, and then said: "Tian Guinong is afraid of our pursuit, so he will inevitably travel day and night, and the speed of the road is definitely not as fast as our horse galloping, one of them." If we capture the cottage first, such a big move, it is difficult to hide the news, Tian Guinong heard from others that the cottage has been lost, and it will inevitably be diverted to other places, so we will lose the judgment of his whereabouts, and this is the second. It's better to let him go to the cottage first, we can arrange Ruan Shizhong to go to him here, with internal response, let's attack the cottage again, wouldn't it be better to catch turtles in the urn?"
All the guards nodded in unison, and then looked at the guard who questioned Xu Yang before, and lowered their heads in shame.
If you don't have a brain, don't learn from people's ideas, everyone looks at him with the same meaning.
"As for now, everyone has been working hard for several days, except for continuing to send people to monitor the Tianlongmen and discipline those Tianlongmen people, the other guards have to rest well, and after that, there are still many places for you to work hard. Xu Yang respectfully bowed his hand to several leading guards and said.
Those guards were already happy, Xu Yang arranged for them to rest, and his attitude was so respectful, it was a fool who didn't agree.
Anyway, I can't catch people, I can't find a knife, the purpose of this trip has failed, so why bother to make myself work hard.
After this long journey, everyone was faintly tired, and was reminded by Xu Yangyi, those guards who were pampered on weekdays suddenly felt back pain and felt uncomfortable.
So at Xu Yang's suggestion, all the guards decided to take care of their bodies first and then dedicate themselves to the court.
As for how they recuperate, this is not something that Xu Yang should care about, it is a headache for the county commander Wang.
Xu Yang arranged everything and came to Ruan Shizhong's resting room by himself.
Ruan Shizhong heard that it was Xu Yang coming, so he hurriedly struggled to get up from the bed and greeted Xu Yang respectfully.
Xu Yang is not a formal person, not to mention that Ruan Shizhong's injury was personally inflicted by him, and he also knows the severity of it.
It's not as scary as it looks on the surface, but it's definitely not a minor injury.
Hurriedly asked Ruan Shizhong to lie down, and then checked his injuries, although the wound medicine of the Crane Year Hall was effective, but the injury was indeed a little serious, and he got up just now and touched the wound, and there were still faint blood stains oozing out at this time.
Xu Yang pretended to press a few acupoints in Ruan Shizhong, and then threw a healing technique up, and the bleeding quickly stopped.
Ruan Shizhong only felt that his body was warm and comfortable, and the wound was not as painful as before.
And this is just the effect of Xu Engong pressing a few acupuncture points, Xu Engong's medical skills are so amazing?!
I can't help but admire Xu Yang from the bottom of my heart.
If before, Xu Yang was a combination of grace and power, and Ruan Shizhong was more grateful than respectful to him, then the sword just now, and now this treatment, in Ruan Shi's center, Xu Yang is almost the same as the gods in the sky.
Ruan Shizhong wanted to forcibly get up and thank Xu Yang again, but was stopped by Xu Yang's eyes, so he could only lie on his side and listen to Xu Yang's instructions.
Xu Yang said lightly: "Originally, this sword should not have been stabbed so deeply, but first, I can't gain the trust of the guards, you know, I'm just an outsider, at most I can only be regarded as a guest, your identity is sensitive, if the guards don't believe you and don't want to use you, I can't say anything." ”
Ruan Shizhong nodded yes, now he is about to get everything he wants, not to mention only one sword, even a few more swords are nothing.
"Second, after that, I want you to lurk next to Tian Guinong again, and inform us of the information, if you are injured very lightly, with Tian Guinong's suspicious character, I am afraid that you will be more dangerous at that time. ”
Thinking that Tian Guinong couldn't trust anyone on weekdays, and he was suspicious of everything, Ruan Shizhong understood the true meaning of Xu Yang's sword at this moment, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
If Tian Guinong finds out that he is pretending to be injured at that time, he is actually an internal response, and he is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed.
Xu Yang explained a few words to him, if he encountered Tian Guinong's interrogation, how to deal with it, etc., he asked him, who in Tianlongmen might know more secrets about Tian Guinong.
Ruan Shizhong only said that Tian Guinong couldn't trust anyone on weekdays, and he was his junior brother, and he knew very little, and only occasionally heard him mention that there seemed to be a trick left in the group of thieves in Yinmachuan.
Xu Yang told him to rest early.
It was not until this moment that he had no doubts about Ruan Shizhong's defection.
Although he also knew that Ruan Shizhong was not convinced by Tian Guinong and had considerable ambitions.
It's just that in the original book, it wasn't until after Tian Guinong's death that Ruan Shizhong was moved, who knows if he is loyal to Tian Guinong now.
The day after tomorrow, he will be arranged to drink Ma Chuan as an internal response, if he is not completely sure that he is reliable, Xu Yang will not let him go with confidence.
Xu Yang's purpose is to kill Tian Guinong, this matter can't go wrong at all, if Tian Guinong runs away again, he may not be able to find him in the future.
If Tian Guinong and Ruan Shizhong colluded together to plot against themselves, it would be quite difficult to deal with them with their current martial arts alone.
Now, with those guards as swords, and Ruan Shizhong as the internal response, killing Tian Guinong is not an unrealistic goal.
The next day, Xu Yang interviewed a few people who were close to Tian Guinong in Tianlongmen, and sure enough, as Ruan Shizhong said, no one could trust Tian Guinong, and these people basically didn't know what the inside story was.
There are only two disciples of Tian Guinong, who know more or less about the dirty things of Tian Guinong, but they only know that Tian Guinong is colluding with some bandits outside, as for where, with whom, and how to contact him, it is not clear at all.
These people were useless, so Xu Yang still asked people to take them back.
The guards didn't have much to gain on their side, and under the guidance of Xu Yang's "selflessness", they found the secret door in Tian Guinong's bedroom, of course, except for some land deeds and title deeds, there was not a single hair left.
These land deeds were divided among the guards, and then forcibly sold to Wang Xianling, extorting a good sum of silver.
Xu Yang has also gained a lot, as a think tank in the current group of people, his existence is simply a guiding light.
Not to mention anything else, without his guidance, no one can find this secret door.
So he gave him a share, and all the guards took it for granted.
Xu Yang is also very generous, after getting the money, he immediately invited everyone to have a good meal, and at the banquet, he also found some red people in the Qinglou to accompany him, and the guards were happy, and their evaluation of Xu Yang was much higher.
The next day, Xu Yang secretly arranged for Ruan Shizhong to leave, openly announcing that he had escaped, and also issued a wanted warrant.
The guards and Xu Yang lingered in Guangning for several days, waiting for the whole incident to slowly ferment.
In his spare time, he did not forget that he extorted a windfall, but these were paid by the gentry and county magistrates of Quang Ninh, compared to the Tianlongmen who were powerful and blessed on weekdays, the majority of the people actually had a good impression of the guards who swept the Tianlongmen.
From the Tianlong Gate was swept away, it can be said that the city of Guangning does not close its doors at night, the road is not forgotten, and the guards can be regarded as ensuring the security of one side.
After dragging on for several days, it is expected that Ruan Shizhong should have gone quite far, and everyone slowly hit the road.
Compared with the previous rush to the road, this return trip can be regarded as a tour of the mountains and rivers, at this time the spring snow is beginning to melt, compared to the previous ice and snow, although it is not long ago, the scenery is a lot more beautiful.
Appreciating the unpolluted natural scenery hundreds of years ago, Xu Yang is happy.
It's rare to be leisurely, and there is a lot of silver in the bag, every time he stops to rest, Xu Yang is the east, eating and drinking all the way, and the guards get along more harmoniously with him.
It's about the same as when I came, even if I walked slowly, I entered the customs in more than 20 days.
After walking for a few more days, we arrived at Yinmachuan.
