Chapter Eighty-Five: Secret Investigation (1) One Update
When everyone came down the mountain, Yao Guang had already changed into a fast horse with strong feet, prepared enough dry food, and took two young girls to wait.
He was even happier when he saw that Li Nanxing invited Liu Daokun and He Daohong, two masters, to accompany him. Among this group of people, there are hard-based masters of the Heavenly Master Sect and the Quanzhen Sect accompanying them, and the lineup is so strong that they are invincible in the world, even if they are gathered in the "Ten Swords of the East China Sea", they are as fearless.
Everyone left Longhu Mountain, each rode a horse, and went to Ningxia in a mighty way. Along the way, they passed through various county towns and rested at the imperial court station. Everywhere he went, Li Nanxing took out the military orders, and the local officials were all obedient, and they were entertained with good wine and meat.
Na Yanting and Bai Mei were saddened by the death of their uncle, and they were depressed all the way, Ouyang Bei saw it in his eyes, he was only distressed and worried, but he couldn't do anything.
All the way to the horse, after another ten days, has entered the territory of Shanxi Province. Yao Guang said: "From now on, if we go forward, we are all within Liu Song's forces, we can be more careful, and it is best to take the trail instead." ”
He Daohong was a little curious and asked, "Shanxi Province is so big, how can it be said that it is his land?"
Yao Guang smiled bitterly: "This Shanxi Admiral is none other than Liu Song's nephew Liu Mulin. This person is ruthless, greedy for money and lustful, and is known as 'Liu is dead'. Liu Mulin not only served as the commander, but also served as the commander-in-chief, holding 100,000 soldiers, and his power was huge. If we rashly meet with the soldiers of Shanxi Province, we will inevitably have a dispute. ”
He Daohong said loudly: "My Heavenly Master taught to walk the rivers and lakes, and I never cared if he wanted his life or money. If Lord Yao is afraid, just change the path and go, and our senior brothers will never bow to Liu Song!"
Liu Daokun saw that Yao Guang's face was ugly, and he was afraid that his junior brother's words had offended him, so he hurriedly said: "We came west this time, first, to save Dao Xuan and Dao Yan, and secondly, to protect Senior Brother Nanxing so that he could arrive in Ningxia safely. According to the poor road, we should not provoke right and wrong, or according to what Lord Yao said, change the path to the top. ”
He Daohong is also an old man, how can he not know the intention of the senior brother to take care of the overall situation, and he did not dare to disobey it at the moment, but just scolded himself: "Liu is fatal? If I want to meet the old way, I am afraid that I will not be able to live or lose money." ”
Bai Mei heard them scold Liu Song again and again, and asked, "Who is this Liu Song, why does everyone hate him so much?"
Ouyang Bei snorted and said: "This person is a big traitor, and anyone with lofty ideals will not hate this person." ”
Bai Mei hurriedly said: "It turns out that people with lofty ideals hate him, so it's okay for me." Otherwise, I will be lonely and become a 'taxi with no ambition', which will be so faceless." The crowd laughed and swept away the unhappiness of the argument.
Yao Guang walked all the way, and saw Yanting Chu Chu pitiful, Bai Mei was cute and cute, and he had long regarded them as his relatives. At this time, listening to Bai Mei's words, she had the intention of playing a round for herself, and she was very happy, so she said: "Thank you two real people for taking care of the overall situation, let's take the mountain road from now on, so as to avoid the official army." ”
At that moment, everyone discussed, and all the way from Shanxi to the mountain trail were changed. When ordinary people go far away, they take Yangguan Avenue more often, for fear of encountering bad people on the trail, but Li Nanxing's pedestrians are just the opposite. They have many martial arts masters, and they are all the top figures in today's martial arts, even if they are small gangsters?
After the seven of them walked the path, they really didn't see any characters in the rivers and lakes, and there were even fewer officials and soldiers in the imperial court. Along the way, although the scenery is not necessarily bright, no one comes to cause trouble, and no matter how bad the scenery is, it can be regarded as a good mountain and good water. Later, when he traveled to a small town, Li Nanxing bought two carriages for everyone to ride on the road, and he didn't have to worry about countless running and toiling.
Less than half a month out of the line, the season has entered the rainy season, everyone is also close to Ningxia Guyuan, no longer see the mountains and rivers in all directions, as far as the eye can see, are a wilderness. The climate of Ningxia is mostly dry, and at night the Gobi Desert is white and boundless under the moonlight, like a fairyland. Most of the people are from the Central Plains, and they have never seen these scenes.
On this day, everyone had arrived outside Ningxia City, and Ouyang Bei suddenly looked solemn on the ground and did not say a word. Li Nanxing saw it in his eyes, and guessed that he must have thought of revealing the secret of the salt introduction right in front of him, and his mood couldn't help but fluctuate, so he said: "Brother Ouyang doesn't have to worry too much, the so-called boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and when it enters Ningxia City, there will naturally be a moment when the water will come out." ”
Yao Guang also persuaded: "That's right, Master Li is resourceful, and the two real people of the Heavenly Master Sect are strong in martial arts, and we will definitely be a great success in this trip." ”
But seeing Ouyang Bei shook his head, he said, "I'm not afraid that it will be difficult to unravel the secret behind that salt lead. But I am afraid that the secret will be of little use in punishing the gangsters, and even if I fight for my rotten life, it will not help. Hearing his heavy tone, everyone felt a pang in their hearts.
On the side, Bai Mei asked, "Since you are not even afraid of death, why don't you gamble?"
Ouyang Bei sighed, looked at the yellow sand in the sky, and said, "Since the case of the Ma family in Yangzhou happened, more than half a year has passed. I was the head hunter for Yangzhou, not only could I not bring the murderers in the East China Sea to justice, but also ended up in the end of the world. Every time I think to myself late at night, how can I really teach people's affection?" he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "I...... If I can't avenge the bitter lord this time, I ...... I won't blink an eye to death!" said him, his eyes turned a little red.
Li Nanxing persuaded: "Captain Ouyang must not blame himself, this group of people is extraordinary. Don't say that you can't afford this case, even if the Criminal Department is still in the book and the Sixth Department will be tried, I'm afraid it will not be caught. ”
Ouyang Bei sighed, shook his head and said: "I hope that when I come to Ningxia this time, I can find strong evidence for Yang Houye, and I hope to overthrow Liu Song, a traitor, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the common people." Everyone nodded yes.
While talking, everyone entered the city, only to see that Ningxia City was not very grand, and there were only three or five inns on the street. Yao Guang frowned and said: "This Ningxia City is not very lively, and a few of our outsiders will give people a sense as soon as they invest in the store." ”
Ouyang Beijiu had been polishing in the market for a long time, and this kind of thing was a trivial matter for him, and he opened his mouth and said, "There is no need to worry about this matter. and when I go and find a place to stay," he led the people and went out into the city.
