Chapter 178: The Wind Rises

Ding Qing walked up the steps, went straight into the box, and arched his hand to the two of them: "Lord, Young Master Zhao ......"

"What's wrong?" Li Xian opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Ding Qing and asked.

"Just now, the guys from the yamen came to me in the mansion, saying that Zhang Fuzun invited the lord to go to the yamen. Ding Qing said this first, then looked at Li Zhao and said, "The chief catcher of Xingshan also asked Young Master Zhao to go to the yamen." ”

Li Xian glanced at Li Zhao and asked, "Did you say that it was because of something?"

Ding Qing shook his head, his brows tightened and loosened, and he replied: "The guy who came over didn't say anything about it, he just said that he invited the lord to come over."

"It's Xingshan, and the subordinates have a little guess......

"Oh?"

Ding Qing looked at Li Zhao at this time and said, "Young Master Zhao...... Will Xingshan look for you because it's a matter of Yanmen Village?"

"Yanmen Village?" Li Xian asked suspiciously. "What village is this? How have you never heard of it?"

Li Zhao's hand stroked from the hair on Yuanbao's forehead to the big fluffy tail, and the soft and comfortable hair made him smile and explained to Li Xian:

"The location of this Yanmen Village is a bit complicated, in Xianxia Mountain, and it is only half a day's journey from Wujun. The reason this village is known is because of the wine they sell!"

"Oh?"

Speaking of this, Li Xian was a little interested and asked, "What kind of wine is so extraordinary?"

"Monkey wine!" Li Zhao said with a smile.

The so-called monkey wine is said to be the monkeys in the mountains picking a hundred fruits in a hole (usually a tree hole), starting to store winter food, but if there is no shortage of winter food in the season, the monkeys will forget that they have stored a hole of fruits, and then this hole of fruits will gradually ferment, and then make a hole of fruit wine.

This kind of wild brew is really a coincidence, and the real monkey wine is worth a thousand gold.

"The villagers in this mountain don't know what method they used, and the monkey wine they sell is genuine...... Moreover, these monkey wines have a good effect on nourishing qi and blood and warming the five qi.

"This kind of wild wine is not only excellent but also long-lasting, at least ...... a small jar" When Li Zhao said this, he stretched out five fingers and shook them: "Gold." ”

Then, he smiled again: "This kind of wild wine that can be mass-produced is a monkey wine with high value, which naturally makes some people blush, but the village chief of Yanmen Village is extremely smart and directly hugged the thigh of the government. Since then, with the blessing of the government, although a large part of the monkey wine is dedicated to the imperial court every year,

But because of this, Yanmen Village is located in the deep mountains, but it can still enjoy long-term peace.

"And they're also suppliers to caravans from all over the world...... The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is firmly in our hands, and there is cooperation in Yanmen Village. ”

After listening to the dog's long introduction, Li Xian frowned and said strangely: "I heard you say so much, that is, a village with a lot of business talent, what happened here?"

Li Zhao smiled and said, "Let Ding Qing tell the young master here, he knows more about this matter than I do." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ding Qing immediately said: "This matter is a bit complicated. He pulled out a simple map of his rough hand drawing from his bosom.

Spread it out on the table and point to one of the red dots.

Li Xian tilted his head slightly, and saw the location of the red dot, although the drawing was relatively rough and sloppy, but fortunately, at least the general meaning could be seen, the location of the red dot was somewhat close to Yuanye County, and the map was marked with Yunshan Mountain.

"Before...... There is a village where more than 100 people disappeared overnight, and it is said that there is no trace of blood or fighting. ”

Ding Qing glanced up at Li Xian, found that his brows were furrowed, understood what his lord was thinking, and quickly explained:

"It's only twenty miles away from Yuanye County, but there have been too many things that have happened in the past six months, and this matter has been secretly sealed down by the Spiegel Division...... It's normal not to know.

"Here's the point, those villagers who almost never go down the mountain suddenly ran to the yamen with a person to report the crime, saying that this villager was from the village that disappeared, and that something big happened in the village and needed help from the government.

"When I asked him what was going on, he wouldn't say...... However, several officials at that time didn't pay attention to it at all, not to mention that the village was ten days away from Wu Jun just riding a horse, anyway, this matter was handed over to the yamen to deal with, but when we sent people over, no one came back for three days. ”

Li Xian rubbed his brows, poured a cup of tea for Ding Qing, and said helplessly: "Speak slowly......"

Ding Qing smiled a little embarrassedly, he also understood that he had just said too quickly, a little unclear, and continued with a sigh of relief:

"Speaking of which, this matter was originally a dereliction of duty on the part of the Yamen, you must know that there has always been a person specially left by the Spiegel Division stationed there in Yanmen Village, and it is the person who wants to report the case through the channel left by the Spiegel Department.

At this time, the adults in the yamen finally realized that something was wrong, so they organized people to go to Yanmen Village again, but no one came back. In the end, the matter could not be contained, so it had to be reported to the Spiegel Division. “

The yamen that Ding Qing said actually belonged to the jurisdiction of the Spiegel Division, not only Wu Jun but also the entire Yamen of the Great Jin Dynasty.

How to put it, it is like the Yamen is the police station, the Spiegel Department is the Ministry of Public Security, and the top leader of the Spiegel Department is the court captain, in charge of judicial trials.

"I want to ...... Xingshan should want some people from our side to go over and find out. ”

Knock Knock Knock ......

Li Xian tapped on the armrest and was silent.

He finally understood what was going on, if this matter was handled by him, in fact, the easiest way was to send troops over, no matter what demons and monsters appeared, the iron hooves would become flying ashes.

But there is a troublesome point in this, that is, the mountain road of Xianxia Mountain is not easy to walk, and it is not impossible to send troops...... It's taking too long. It is better to send a few powerful warriors over to find out and solve the problem directly, and this is also the most intuitive and effective way.

In the final analysis, this is a world in which a warrior changes his life against the sky, one person becomes an army, and one enemy is ten thousand.

Because of the existence of Qi, there are infinite possibilities.

"Row ......"

Li Xian looked at Ding Qing and said with a smile, "Did you bring my armor here?"

Ding Qing smiled and arched his hand: "Brought it here, lord." “

Li Xian nodded, got up and said, "Then so be it...... Li Zhao, you go over first to see what this torture mountain wants, and I'll go over first to see what Zhang Xianzong wants to do with me. ”

"Hmmm......"

A few people went straight downstairs, and a carriage was parked outside the restaurant, and the three of them got into the carriage.

"Drive-"

In the carriage, after Li Xian put on his armor, he slapped his thigh suddenly, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Li Zhao: "By the way, have you seen Uncle Qingshi?"

"Uncle Qingshi?"

After just one moment, Li Zhao understood what his young master remembered, and said helplessly: "Young master...... Next time you bring people back, will you take a snack!"

Li Xian touched his nose with some embarrassment.

"That kid named Ren Shiwan, I've seen it, it's a very interesting kid. Li Zhao thought for a while and gave an evaluation, and then continued: "What about him, he is staying in Wanxi Village now, and temporarily following the children in the village to go to school...... Stay with Uncle Oyama. “

"Is that so......" Li Xian nodded, thought for a while, and then instructed Li Zhao: "That kid ...... You arrange to study with Xiaoshan, and he will be in your charge in the future. ”

There were so many things that happened during this time that he almost forgot about the kid Ren Shiwan. It's all to blame for the thing that happened in the post station that day, otherwise he wouldn't have forgotten it!

"Hmm...... I know. Li Zhao nodded.

The wheels rolled, and the carriage soon drove to the palace.

What remains unchanged is the two hedgehogs in front of the door, the appearance is mighty, the pair of black eyeballs in the eyes flashed an inexplicable luster, if you look at it for a long time, it seems that the two hedgehogs in front of you have come to life.

Skilled craftsmen, nothing more!

At the door, an official dressed in a scarlet official robe embroidered with a hedgehog pattern was waiting at the door, and when he saw the carriage coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

The carriage slowly stopped, and Ding Qing was the first to get off, followed by Li Zhao, and finally Li Xian.

The official first saw Ding Qing nodding his head, and when he saw Li Zhao, he greeted him, this is because Li Zhao is not only the leader of the Black Dragon Gang, but also a famous student, and if he joins the office, the starting point will definitely be much higher than him.

When he finally saw Li Xian's armor of two or five hundred lords, he bowed his hand even more respectfully and said, "Two or five hundred lords, Lord Fuzun is waiting for you in the study." ”

Li Xian nodded and said, "Mr. Lao will lead the way." Then he was led by this official into the palace.

Seeing Li Xian's tall figure disappear from sight, Li Zhao whispered a few words to Ding Qing, and then walked into the mansion by himself, while Ding Qing turned around and left, going to do things elsewhere according to Li Zhao's instructions.

The biggest difference between the Wujun Mansion and the Yuanye County Government is that the officials who come and go wearing the official robes of the pigs and the fast catchers with the Yanling knife across their waists, everyone is very busy, and they can't wait to have two wings under their feet to fly.

In addition, it is larger, and it can be judged that it is at least twice as large as the Yuanye County Ya by the naked eye. I heard that Zhang Xianzong himself also has an official residence that occupies a huge area for daily office.

No wonder I have been letting the reckless gang go unattended, scraping down layer by layer, and I am really rich. Li Xian followed behind the officials, thinking endlessly in his heart.

Walk through the corridor, pass by the government hall, and pass through the main hall to the backyard.

Unlike the various beings who are busy in front of them...... When stepping into the backyard, it was noticeably quieter, but at this moment there were at least fifteen surreptitious glances quietly and cautiously scanning.

There are countless open and dark sentinels here, and they are heavily guarded.

The decoration of the backyard is very simple, not even the flowers and plants are raised, only bare stone paths, rockery bluestone and a few bamboo leaves without a few bamboo leaves.

When he came to a house, the official turned sideways and said to Li Xian: "Two or five hundred masters, this is it, please come in." ”

"The lower official retired first. ”

Li Xian nodded, the corners of his mouth showed a chuckle and converged in an instant, and pushed the door open.

With a slight creak, the brown wooden door was pushed open.

I saw a middle-aged man with his back to Li Xian, dressed in a simple white Confucian robe. Hearing the voice, the man turned around and let Li Xian see the appearance of the legendary Wujun Mansion Venerable Zhang Xianzong clearly.

looks like a weak scholar, with slender eyes, long and low eyebrows, a long but straight nose, and a jade jade pendant around his waist, which makes people feel that he is upright and calm at first glance, with thick calluses in his hands.

In addition, there was a jet-black rattan on the weapon rack behind him, and from time to time there was a black light flashing on the jet-black rattan.

The last general has seen Zhang Fuzun. Li Xian arched his hand.

Strictly speaking, the official position of Wujun Mansion is much higher than Cui Sheng, the main of the first battalion.

There is no way, who let Wu Jun govern the eight counties, the status itself is different. In addition, although the territory of Youzhou is large, the population is generally concentrated in the county seats and nearby villages.

Because the barbarians will attack Youzhou from time to time in the past hundred years, there is no way to concentrate the population, otherwise the population is too scattered, and the barbarians are all full cavalry, coming and going like the wind, it is simply too easy to plunder.

However, in recent decades, Youzhou has also enjoyed a rare decades of peace, and this is only in Youzhou, which is separated by the nearest Jizhou and Qingzhou for at least more than a hundred years, densely populated, at least 100 counties, dozens of prefectures, and several large counties.

There's no comparison.

The main reason for this is because the place of Youzhou itself was created, and most of the people from other states migrated here hundreds of years ago and settled here.

Straight to the point.

Zhang Xianzong looked at Li Xian, with a light smile on his face, and stood with his hands in his hands:

"Master Li 2500, we have finally met, I have heard about you from Lao Lu several times, he is full of praise for you, and your master's evaluation of you is also very good. ”

"The last general didn't expect Lord Fuzun to look forward to the last general so much......"

Li Xian was not surprised at all by the first half of the sentence, how did Lao Lu say that he was also Zhang Xianzong's superior, as for whether the relationship was good or not, he didn't know, it was rumored that Zhang Fuzun was the person of Youzhou Mu Wangfu, and it was also said that Shangdang County was the person who guarded Lu Guangxin, anyway, this rumor spread with a nose and eyes, and it was impossible to guess whether it was true or not.

Li Xian asked, "Lord Fuzun knows my master?"

"One side. ”

Zhang Xianzong smiled a little mysteriously, and he didn't say much about this topic.

"I've heard of what you've done in the wilderness, and it's good...... It's done very well, to be honest, whether it's Li Zhao or you, I appreciate it very much. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. Li Xian still had a smile on his face.

The other party has been playing Tai Chi, and he can't say anything, so he can only cover up the water with soldiers. After all, he is not a person who is good at flattery, and if the other party changes to a person who is proficient in sycophancy, he may directly hit the snake and stick and shorten the distance.

Zhang Xianzong didn't care about Li Xian's perfunctory answer, and said with a smile: "No matter what, you are from Wujun Mansion after all." ”

These words made Li Xian look up slightly, and the middle-aged man, who looked like a scholar, arched his hand again: "Thank you for your help." ”

"Alright...... Next up is something I want you to help with. ”
