For several days on end, the wind was calm and uneventful. It's just that it's so calm, and it's even more suspicious and difficult to feel at ease. It seems to be an invisible undercurrent, but it is the most threatening.

Xu Nianniang's complexion is getting better day by day, he has profound skills, and he takes precious medicinal materials every day to recuperate, and the speed of recovery is not slow.

On this day, he ordered someone to take the four treasures of the study, spread them out in the room, and waved the pen, not to write, but to paint.

Chen Sanlang had never seen this scene, it was Xu Jun, and he was surprised, obviously he had never seen his father paint.

Xu Nianniang has read books, aside from some factors, he can even be called "after the famous family", but he became a king and a loser, and became a remnant of the previous dynasty.

In this respect, it is very different from ordinary Jianghu people. However, if it is not revealed, others will not know about it.

Xu Nianniang's hand Danqing kung fu is not weak, under the tip of the pen, the lines are soft, the ink is exquisite, and there are vivid images generated with a few strokes.

He does not paint landscapes, but people.

When the first painting was completed, Chen Sanlang's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood his father-in-law's intentions. But at this time, it is not appropriate to interfere quietly, just wait and see.

Xu Nianniang took a break and quickly painted a second painting.

Danqing is actually the same as writing, if you want to get good works, you are quite particular, and you have a lot of physical and mental consumption. So when the fourth painting was painted, Xu Nianniang, who was still recovering, was already sweating on her forehead.

Xu Jun felt sorry for his father, and couldn't help but say, "Dad, do you want to take a break and drink saliva?"

Xu Nianniang shook her head: "It's okay, continue, I'm afraid that if the intention is broken, I won't be able to draw it." ”

As he spoke, he was a little relieved, and then he picked up the pen again.

One by one, a figure appears vividly on the paper.

Chen Sanlang watched carefully and found that his father-in-law's painting method was unique and very different from the mainstream. It can't be said to be a family of its own, but it is very personal, rough and simple with a pen, but it is depicted with God.

It took half an hour for Xu Nianniang to put down her pen and ink and paint a total of thirteen portraits, and different names were also marked on the paintings.

"These are all the appearance of the backbone of the cottage. ”

Hearing this, Chen Sanlang was overjoyed.

The copycat characters entered the territory of Yongzhou, and the picture was not small, they were all masters of the rivers and lakes, and they were skilled, and their force was extraordinary, which was quite difficult to deal with. What's even more troublesome is that such a group of people is not those martial arts reckless men, but a group with scheming and wisdom, plus they are unfamiliar and don't know their faces, so they are likely to be disguised by the other party into the city and don't know.

This is what Chen Sanlang fears the most. Although there have been military orders to arrange it for a long time, the city gates of the prefectures and counties have been strictly guarded, and the patrol of personnel has been intensified. However, as the so-called "thousand-day anti-thief", security is not a long-term solution.

Now it's okay, Xu Nianniang personally took the pen and drew the other party's appearance, so that it can come in handy when arresting and tracking.

These portraits can also be printed, one becomes dozens of them, posted at the city gates, in the streets and alleys, visible all over the city, hanging a lot of money, mobilizing the people of the whole city, in that case, there is no way to hide from the convenience.

Thinking of this, Chen Sanlang was very happy. Without further ado, I immediately said goodbye and left, and went outside to find Zhou Fencao.

When Zhou Fencao heard this, he was also overjoyed, and hurriedly implemented it, took a charge of "Wang Yang thief", published many portraits, and pasted them on the street. Soon, people gathered around and talked about it.

For the vicious robbers, the people have no good feelings, not to mention that there are heavy rewards, so they immediately keep an eye on them to see if they can bump into these robbers, so as to report to the state government and receive meritorious rewards.

Portraits were printed in large stacks, not only in the prefecture and county, but also in the nearby villages and towns outside the city.

It's like all the people are soldiers!

The net is spread out, and the effect is gratifying. On the third day, people from the small town in the east of the city came to report that they had seen the two people in the portrait: "Qin Wu" and "Su Yang".

At that time, the two men came to the town to buy some food supplies and asked about some things.

The war in Yongzhou, the flow of people, very common, so the people in the town did not care at that time, and now when they saw the reward document, they knew that the other party was actually a thief, and they immediately came to report to the official.

Subsequently, one after another, people came to report that they had met copycat personnel.

In the state office, in the public house, on the bookcase, a map is unfolded, and the map is marked with red dots - all of which are the places where the cottagers once haunted.

At first glance, these locations are scattered, including in the south, south, and northwest, which shows that the other party is cautious and has not stayed in one place for a long time. However, in this way, it seems that there is no order, it is difficult to capture the pattern of the other party's activities, and it is difficult to take measures.

In addition to Chen Sanlang, there are also Zhou Fencao, Jiang Caoqi, and Mo Xuanyi and others in the room. They all came at the call to discuss their plans.

You've been looking at the map for a while, hoping to see some clues.

Chen Sanlang tapped his fingers lightly on the table and asked, "What clues can you see?"

Zhou Fencao frowned tightly and didn't say a word; Jiang Cao touched his chin with his hands and was silent; only Mo Xuanyi's eyes were scorching, and he suddenly said: "The places they have haunted seem to be chaotic, but they are distributed in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and they echo the four major city gates of the state and county. This is to watch and watch the flaws of the state and county. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Fencao and Jiang Caoqi both showed a sudden look.

Chen Sanlang nodded: "Yes, the other party does have this intention." ”

Mo Xuanyi said again: "It's just that according to the information reported by the people, the earliest was five days ago, and after a few days, the situation has changed, and we have to be prepared that someone from the other party has sneaked into the city." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Caoqi's face tightened. As the head of the military room, he is in charge of the army, and he is the first person in charge of guarding the state and county. But he also knows very well that even if the city gate is guarded, there is an endless stream of people coming in and out every day, and the other party is willing to mix in it, and the possibility of passing through the customs is not small.

He immediately said aloud: "I will immediately send additional manpower to focus on guarding the Assassin's Mansion and the Prefecture Government." ”

These two places are the most important and cannot be missed.

Chen Sanlang thought for a while and waved his hand: "I'll leave this matter to General Mo, he was born in Dongting, has dealt with many people in the rivers and lakes, and has rich experience, which is enough to be competent." General Mo, what do you think?"

Mo Xuanyi got up and clenched his fists, and said angrily: "The subordinates only obey orders, but they follow orders!"

"Okay, you go to the camp and select a group of elite soldiers to be responsible for this matter. ”

"Order!"

Mo Xuanyi's mood was slightly agitated, because this appointment contained Chen Sanlang's great trust in him.

Next to him, Zhou Fencao asked, "Childe, how is Mr. Xu's recovery?"

Chen Sanlang said: "It's okay, but you can't do it yet." ”

sighed softly in her heart: If Xu Nianniang can fully recover in time, she will be able to increase her chances of winning, but according to the current situation, I am afraid it is difficult to count on it.

I can only rely on myself!
