Yang Fang returned to the county office, pushed open the gate of the county office, and the county office was dark. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info suddenly a cold wind blew in, and he couldn't help but shiver, and his steps were stagnant. However, in a moment, he took another step, walked in, and slowly closed the door.

Yang Fang walked into the county hall, and the hall was suddenly brightly lit.

A soft voice came from the hall: "Lord Yang, you made us wait so hard." ”

Yang Fang narrowed her eyes and looked up carefully.

There were about 40 people in the county hall, standing in two columns. Behind the lobby, the copywriter sits in the center. The man was in his thirties, dressed in a royal blue robe, a yellow jacket with a large placket and black trim, and a long braid of oily black hanging straight behind him. A delicate and handsome face, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Humble to see Lord Nalan. Yang Fang flicked her horseshoe sleeves and knelt down with a "plop".

Sitting in the center is Nalan Xingde.

Last night, Nalan Xingdesa sent men and horses to chase Helian Qingtian, and after searching all night, they couldn't find Helian Qingtian's whereabouts. Later, all the cavalry of Nalan Xingdelian Kabula at the foot of the mountain were transferred to the mountain to search. Until the sun turned westward, the Qing army turned the mountain upside down, but still did not find the shadow of Helian Qingtian. Seeing that twilight was coming again, no matter how calm Nalan was in character, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

The four black-clothed middle-aged men who were chasing Helian Qingtian looked at Nalan Xingde and were silent.

Nalan said angrily, "You are really all waste. Helian Qingtian was seriously wounded, but you did not see anyone alive or dead. Boasting about how powerful he is on weekdays is useless at critical moments. ”

The tallest of them all, the man in black, said: "My lord, we might as well go down the mountain immediately, we can't catch Helian Qingtian, and it's good to catch his wife and children." ”

Nalan Xingde perked up and said, "How to catch it, where to catch it?"

The man in black whispered in Nalan Xinde's ear.

"Let's go!" Nalan Xingde turned on his horse and rushed down the mountain with more than 2,000 Qing soldiers and the remaining guards.

After Nalan Xingde went down the mountain, he went straight to Xintai County, and it was completely dark at this time. The Qing soldiers tightly held the four gates of the county seat, and Nalan Xingde and the guards entered the county office and began to search room by room. After searching for a long time, Nalan Xingde found that Yang Zhi County was not in the county office, and the county office was empty, so he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Nalan Xingde said to himself indignantly, "He ran away?" and then turned to one of the guards and said, "Get me the county garrison immediately." ”

After a while, Liu Cong, the garrison of Xintai County, hurriedly followed the guards to the county office. Seeing Nalan Xingde, he hurriedly kowtowed: "Slave Liu Cong, see my lord." ”

Nalan Xingde asked: "Liu Cong, let me ask you, where did you know where the county lord went?"

Liu Cong hurriedly replied: "Today, Lord Yang said that he was not feeling well and rested. ”

Nalan Xingde slapped the table and said sharply: "It's nonsense." There is no one in this county office, where do you say Lord Yang went to rest?"

Liu Cong's forehead suddenly sweated, and he kowtowed and said: "I don't know if I am humble, I deserve to die if I am humble." ”

Nalan Xingde stabilized his mood and said, "Liu Cong, are there any suspicious people entering and leaving the city gate today?"

Liu Cong thought for a while and said, "Lord Qiqi, a black carriage entered the north gate of the county seat in the morning. Soon after, a red carriage left the south gate of the county seat, driving Yang Lu, the servant of Yang Fang, the county magistrate. ”

Nalan Xingde looked at the four men in black beside him and said, "Chase." ”

The four men in black immediately rode four fast horses and galloped to the south gate.

Nalan Xingde didn't chase after him, because he had to wait for Yang Fang. Nalan Xingde signaled Liu Cong to step down, and waited for Yang Fang's arrival in this county office.

Seeing Yang Fang kneeling in front of him, Nalan Xingde smiled and said, "Lord Yang, it's very leisurely." There is no one in the county office, and you don't deal with business during the day, so I thought you would go out for a leisurely tour and never come back. ”

Yang Fang hurriedly kowtowed and replied, "Where is the adult? Recently, I have been feeling cold and unable to do justice. So he went home on vacation. ”

Nalan Xingde looked at Yang Fang and asked, "Is it?, Lord Yang, don't you take care of your illness in the county office, and go out for such a long time, aren't you afraid that your condition will worsen?"

Yang Fang said: "I went to Guang'an Hall on West Street to see Dr. Chen, took a dose of medicine, and felt much better. Then he had another meal on the street, and the delay was indeed longer. ”

Nalan Xingde smiled coldly and said, "Yang Fang, don't want to act in front of me." I can see your empty plan very clearly. You sent away the cadres from all over the county government to avoid people's eyes and ears and help others escape. I just don't understand, you're dangling around in Xintai County in an official uniform, somehow?"

Yang Fang touched the ground with his forehead and said, "Your Excellency." It has been six years since he was appointed as the magistrate of Xintai County, and he has been conscientious, but he has never been promoted. This time the adults came to Xintai County, and they felt a great honor and felt that it was a rare opportunity for their humble duties. Therefore, the lowly official wears this official uniform and is always ready to greet adults. If the adults can understand the painstaking efforts of the lower officials, and say a good word or two in front of the emperor, the humble position will be unforgettable. ”

Yang Fang knelt forward and climbed half a step forward, and bowed to Nalan Xingde again.

Nalan Xingde was a little surprised, he had received reliable information that Yang Fang was a remnant of the former Ming Dynasty, and from the whereabouts of the county government and Yang Lu, it was certain that Yang Fang had a relationship with Helian Qingtian. But when he looked at Yang Fang's expression at the moment, his demeanor was sincere and fearful, and his words were submissive, and he couldn't help but be a little unpredictable.

Nalan Xingde looked Yang Fang up and down carefully for a long time, and said: "If Yang Fang really asks the emperor to promote you to the position of the palace, how can you repay me?"

Yang Fang said respectfully: "There is a thing in the humble position, I believe you must like it." ”

Nalan Xingde said lightly: "What?"

Yang Fang gently lifted the bottom of her official uniform, took out a black box, and raised her hands above her head.

Nalan Xingde glanced at the black box and continued to ask, "Lord Yang, let me ask you what this is?"

Yang Fang said unhurriedly: "My lord, this is a topographic map, with this map, you can find the canine tooth talisman." ”

Nalan Xingde felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart and stood up suddenly. But Nalan Xingde hesitated for a moment, sat down slowly, and said in a low voice: "Yang Fang, you open the box and bring the picture up." ”

Yang Fang's body trembled imperceptibly. Yang Fang slowly put the box on the ground and slowly opened the box. There was nothing unusual about the box, and there was no mechanism, and sure enough, there was a silk scroll inside. Yang Fang carefully opened the scroll, revealing a map, a topographical map.

Nalan Xingde gave a look to one of the guards beside him, and the guard carefully held the figure in front of Nalan Xingde. Nalan Xingde gently spread the picture on several cases and looked at the picture carefully. It's a topographic map with mountains, rivers, and meandering. But where is the topographic map, Nalan Xingde didn't see it for a long time, because there was no place name marked on it.

Nalan Xingde stared at the topographic map with his eyes and asked Yang Fang, "Lord Yang, where is this topographic map?"

Yang Fang replied cautiously: "My lord, this is a topographic map of the surrounding areas of Xintai County. ”

Nalan Xingde still can't see it. Originally, I was really unfamiliar with the area of Xintai County. But in the past month, in order to capture Helian Qingtian, he has surveyed back and forth in this area of Xintai County many times, and he has a good grasp of the terrain. Looking at the picture in front of you, it doesn't match Xintai County.

Nalan Xingde raised his head and asked, "Lord Yang, where did you say this canine tooth talisman is on the map?"

Yang Fang lowered her head and said, "Can you let the humble position be pointed out to the adults?"

Nalan thought for a moment, "Come forward and show me." ”

Yang Fang slowly stood up and gently walked in front of Nalan Xingde.

Nalan Xingde looked at Yang Fang with good eyes.

Yang Fang stretched out his right hand and pointed to a position on the topographic map, and said, "My lord, please look, here." ”

Nalan Xingde looked intently in the direction of Yang Fang's finger.

Yang Fang suddenly raised his right hand, and the sleeve of his right hand shone with countless brilliance, like dust and stars.

The oil lamp beside Nalan Xingde immediately roared, and the oil lamp turned into a rapidly expanding fireball in an instant, instantly annihilating Yang Fang, and of course Nalan Xingde, because Yang Fang at this time hugged Nalan Xingde to death.

Nalan Xingde said angrily: "Okay, you anti-thief!"

Yang Fang hugged Nalan Xingde with both hands and sneered: "You Manchurian Tartars are a group of thieves. ”

Nalan Xingde didn't have time to say more, the flames had already burned his hair and clothes, and the flames burned his cheeks violently, making him feel painful. Nalan Xingde came to an old dragon to shake his armor, in a vain attempt to get rid of Yang Fang.

Hearing only a "squeak", Yang Fang's arm joints suddenly dislocated, and Yang Fang snorted in pain. But the hands that grabbed Nalan Xingde still didn't let go.

Nalan Xingde was furious, and instantly pulled out the Liuyun Sword, and cut off Yang Fang's arms with two swords.

Yang Fang's arms were cut off, and blood gushed out. Coupled with the addition of flames, Yang Fang lost his breath after a while.

Nalan Xingde saw that the lights in the house had turned into countless fireballs, instantly burning the beams, panes, and doors, as if they were a sea of fire. The guards in the house didn't have time to run out of the county hall, and they were already annihilated by the sea of fire.

Nalan Xingde let out a long roar, and his figure flew out of the roof and landed on the courtyard.

The Qing soldiers outside the house saw that Nalan Xingde was covered in fire, so he hurriedly took off his coat and stepped forward to fight.

But the fire on Nalan Xingde's body immediately lit up the other clothes, and Nalan Xingde screamed in pain.

A Qing soldier was really quick with his hands and feet, and he found a bucket of water out of nowhere and splashed it on Nalan Xingde. The fire on Nalan Xingde's body was finally extinguished, but he had been burned beyond recognition, and he fainted in pain.

I don't know how long it took, but Nalan Xingde woke up. He felt pain all over his body, and it hurt a little hard to breathe. Nalan Xinde barely opened his eyes and found himself lying on a bed with a guard standing next to the bed, as well as an old man.

Nalan was strong and asked, "Where is this?"

The guard hit a thousand on one leg, gave Nalan Xingde a salute, and said, "Lord Qiqi, this is the inn. I hired a doctor to treat your injuries. After speaking, the guard pointed to the old man beside him.

Nalan Xingde wanted to move his body, but it was really difficult to move, he wanted to touch his face, but he couldn't lift his hand at all, and he felt that his face hurt badly when he spoke.

The old man said respectfully to Nalan Xingde: "My lord, don't move. The herbalists have already given you medicine. Your injuries are not serious, but your face is really not lightly burned, and you need a lot of care. ”

Nalan Xingde nodded slightly, and looked out the window with a slight sideways face, the sky was not yet bright, but he faintly saw the fire flickering.

Nalan Xingde asked, "Hasn't the fire been extinguished yet?"

The guard hurriedly replied: "All the houses in the county government are on fire, and even the courtyard wall is smoking. Due to the size of the fire, most of the houses have collapsed. There were a lot of fire and thunder buried in this county office, and the fire and thunder exploded, and many brothers were killed and injured. After speaking, the guard lowered his head.

Nalan Xingde asked, "What about the others?"

The guard replied, "They are all waiting outside the inn." ”

Nalan Xingde was very annoyed in his heart: Okay, you Yang Fang, hide the fire phosphosand in the official uniform, and the official will almost die in your hands.

The next day, Nalan Xingde felt a little better. With the help of the guards, he sat up. Nalan Xingde subconsciously touched his face, his face was already wrapped in cloth tape, and only two eyes were exposed. He didn't know what his face had burned, and he didn't even dare to think about it. After a few more moments, Nalan Xingde stood up and walked to the window, where the fire was gone.

Nalan Xingde said, "Let's go, go and see." "Walk out of the inn with the guards.

Nalan Xingde drove to the outside of the county government under the escort of the Qing army and guards.

The fire in the county office burned all night. The gate of the county government has been burned down, and more than half of the courtyard walls on both sides of the gate have also burned down. The county government is even more scorched, and there is no place to settle at all. Nalan Xingde frowned, the fire and thunder in the yaya were very powerful, burning the entire county yaya into ruins, leaving no trace at all.

Nalan Xingde felt a little dazed, a little resentful, and a little inexplicable.

Nalan Xingde still has a few questions about Yang Fang:

1. Yang Fang is a civil official, he doesn't know martial arts, and he wants to kill himself without any helper, and his behavior is very stupid. Although Yang Fang was well prepared, and allowed himself to be seriously injured, and the Qing soldiers suffered heavy losses. But Yang Fang should know that there will be no fundamental change in the ending, and even a hero like Helian Qingtian is difficult to compete with the imperial court, let alone a weak scholar like him. Although the scholar's limbs are not developed, his mind has never been stupid, so why doesn't he run away?

Second, Yang Fang wears a pipe hat and an official uniform, why is it so formal? Although he said it nicely, it was to welcome him. But this kind of lie can not deceive itself. But why didn't Yang Fang run away and hang around in the county seat? Was he looking for Helian Qingtian? Or was he looking for someone else, did he find the person he was looking for?

3. The burning of the Xintai County Ya is a cover-up of evidence, or a warning to other people in Xintai County. There are definitely other people in Nanming Yu in Xintai County, but why didn't they rescue Yang Fang, isn't Yang Fang worth saving, or don't dare to come to the rescue?

But Nalan Xingde's biggest question is where Helian Qingtian went?
