Chapter 63: Casting the Net
Not long after He Guan walked out of the Liangzhou warehouse, a middle-aged man with a loyal face walked out of the back door with a horse. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info the horse's hooves flew over, all the way out of the south gate, towards Qilian Mountain. In the evening, the middle-aged man spent the night in Qilian Town at the foot of the mountain.
Early the next morning, after continuing southward for more than ten miles, the fast horse came to a mountain pass, but there was a house on the side of the mountain pass. The middle-aged man seemed to be very familiar with the people in the house, and after a few casual conversations, he left the horse outside.
The mountain road in front of you can only be walked slowly. The middle-aged man kept moving along the hillside until he reached the edge of a river, then changed direction and walked along the small river in the direction of the upper reaches.
The mountain is getting steeper and steeper, and there is no road, so you can only climb up with your hands and feet. In the afternoon, the middle-aged man seemed to have arrived at the place, stopped, and looked around for a long time before turning around and walking into a valley.
Gu Qingping sat on the branch of a big tree, and from here he could completely see the situation in the valley. The valley is not very big, but there are many large and small caves in it. There are two secret posts at the mouth of the valley, on the cliff above the valley, every fifty zhang or so, there is a secret whistle, and there is one in the place where Gu Qingping is less than twenty zhang.
There were not many people who could see in the valley, and even the sentry posts everywhere did not exceed fifty. As for how many people were in the cave, Gu Qingping couldn't tell it. With such a tight guard in the valley, I am afraid that a bird will be immediately spotted if it flies in, let alone go in to find out the actual situation.
Soon after, the middle-aged man walked out of a stone cave, but the burden behind him was gone. The middle-aged man did not stay in the valley for long, went out of the valley, followed the way he came, and went down the mountain.
When Gu Qingping walked into the beggar gang Liangzhou rudder, Wu Wenzhao, the helmsman of the rudder, was a little stunned, not knowing who the person in front of him was.
"Master Wu Helm, don't come unharmed!" Gu Qingping said when only he and Wu Wenzhao were in the room.
Wu Wenzhao couldn't remember where he had seen the person in front of him for a while, but the voice was very familiar, and after thinking about it, he remembered that the person in front of him turned out to be Xuan Qi, the gang leader of the gang, and immediately said with some surprise: "Ah!
"Shhhhhh
"My subordinates understand!"
After the two discussed in the house for a long time, Xuan Qi came out of the room and went out to help Liangzhou rudder.
For the first time, Xuan Qi began to feel how insufficient the newly established Xuanmen was! At this stage, there were only about ten people who could barely be dispatched.
At the blue butterfly in Jizhou, Chu Lin and Li Xinchen, in order to wait for the arrival of the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Divine Sect, they couldn't move. Ji Ying and Luo Wen were sent to Kaifeng to assist Lan Fengshan and do some information liaison work, while also monitoring the calligraphy and painting shop and the Tianwei Dart Bureau. Luo Lin and Gao Shuheng, a disciple of the "Tianshan Blue Flame Valley", were sent to Xiangyang to monitor Guo Bingquan's every move.
The remaining three people, one is Chen Bing, a female disciple of the "Tianshan Blue Flame Valley", one is Mo Wen, the youngest seven-bag disciple of the Beggar Gang, and the other is Qin Jingqiu, Qin Yingying's nephew. Qin Jingqiu was young and old, but his martial arts were poor, and he didn't dare to send him out for a while, but he could just use his connections in the capital, so he stayed in the capital and listened to the news.
And this time, Liangzhou will inevitably send two reliable disciples here to avoid any accidents. Although Mo Wen is just over twenty, he has been crawling in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, but he is competent. Chen Bing is seventeen years old, with a lively and jumping personality, and when there is no one, he has to reluctantly make it difficult.
Under such circumstances, Xuan Qi was a little afraid that once he had a new clue, where would he go to find the right person. Speeding up the recruitment and training of Xuanmen disciples is already an urgent matter.
Xuan Qi immediately decided to go back to Beijing first, and at the same time, it was just in time for his son's birthday. As for the matter of Jizhou, Xuan Qi was still a little uneasy, worried that Chu Lin and Li Xinchen would be a little more than capable in the face of the mysterious Heavenly Divine Sect Holy Maiden, and after returning to the capital, they could just rush to Jizhou. Xuanqi immediately left Liangzhou City and traveled all the way east.
When he arrived in Qinzhou, Xuan Qi happened to meet Mo Wen and Chen Bing who came from the capital. The two brought Xuan Qi a reply letter from Li Sheng. In the reply, he analyzed the prince of the Celestial Dynasty mentioned by Lan Fengshan, who was more likely to participate in the conspiracy of the Heavenly Divine Sect.
At this time, he was named the prince, and there were only a dozen people still alive. Except for Li Xing, the prince of Zhenbei, and Li Sheng, the king of Zhenbei, the rest are divided into various places.
The eldest Prince Chengye, Li Chengye, is seventy-three years old. That is Li Rui's imperial uncle, who is of the same generation as Li Hu, and has a fief of Hebei. The youngest Jin King Li Hao is Li Rui's younger brother, twenty-six years old, deeply favored by Li Rui, and has a fiefdom in Shanxi. In addition, Li Min, the king of Hong, was far away in Hongzhou, with a fief of Jiangxi, Li Chun, the king of Yu, with a fief of Henan, and Li Qian, the king of Shu, with a fief of Sichuan. These three people are Li Rui's brothers, and they have a good relationship with Li Rui, and they all share a share of the province.
And the rest of the princes, the fief is just a place. Li Gan, King of Qi, fief of Jinan and Tai'an, Li Cheng, King of Fujian, fief of Quanzhou, King of Yue, Li Ding, fief of Hangzhou and Jiaxing, King of Han Li Su, fief of Jiangcheng, King of Hunan Li Qing, fief of Changsha, King of Wu Li Han, fief of Jinling, King of Gui Li Xian, fief of Guizhou.
Those who can conspire with the Heavenly Divine Sect must have great plans, and I am afraid it will be difficult to do so in one place. In this way, there are only five people left: Li Chengye, Prince Cheng, Li Hao, King of Jin, Li Min, King of Hong, Li Chun, King of Yu, and Li Gan, King of Shu. King Jin is Li Rui's brother, so he shouldn't be involved in this matter, and the remaining four princes are all suspicious. Especially Prince Cheng Li Chengye, who once let go of Liu Shuyao and Che Yunfei in order to hold Xuan Qi, so that Xuan Qi had to focus on suspicion.
And the four princes who are listed as the key points can't be investigated blatantly, so they can only send people to monitor secretly. There are also other princes who are not suspected for the time being, but they also have to be guarded against, including Li Hao, the king of Jin. Xuan Qi couldn't help but have a big head, but he couldn't find so many people to do this kind of surveillance for a while. It seems that he can only rely on the beggars and some familiar friends, as well as some credible generals in the armies around the country.
Xuan Qi made his own decision, and he began to screen candidates in his heart. As for the generals in the army, they can only make the final decision after returning to the capital and discussing with Li Xing and Li Sheng.
Xuan Qi explained some things that needed to be paid attention to to Mo Wen and Chen Bing, and he hurried towards the capital.
