Xiao Fan didn't move in place, and waited for the breath of the man in Taishi's Mansion and the man in black to disappear completely before leaving the forest. He didn't intercept the secret letter, and he didn't attack the two men. After all, the first secret letter has already been sent out, and there is no point in intercepting it. If these two people were killed, the people of both the Taishi Mansion and the Red Wind Empire would be suspicious, and they would be startled instead.

On the way back, Xiao Fan's heart was very uneasy. Now it has been determined that Zhao Taishi collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, but Xiao Fan knew that among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhao Taishi was definitely not the only one who collaborated with the enemy and treason.

"Doesn't Yang Zilong know that there is a problem with Master Zhao?"

Xiao Fan said to himself in his heart, he had seen Yang Zilong when he went to the Eastern Desolate Vein to suppress the gate of the underworld, he was a more wise person, and he should have thought of someone collaborating with the enemy in the court.

"Now that Yang Zilong is fighting outside, I can't manage the affairs here, and it seems that I still have to solve it. ”

Xiao Fan thought as he walked, the strength of the person who sent the letter before was not weak, and he had the strength to be close to the peak of the day after tomorrow. In the future, there will be a lot of secrets that will be transmitted to the enemy country in this way, and if you want to intercept those secret letters, you need a trustworthy and powerful helper by your side.

Along the way, Xiao Fan has been thinking about this matter. If a few people were selected from among the guards, even if a large number of pills were supplied to them, it would not be possible for them to reach the point where they could compete with those who sent secret messages in a short period of time.

Half an hour later, Xiao Fan returned to the General's Mansion. As soon as he entered the courtyard where he lived, his ears suddenly twitched, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

At this time, the two black-clothed men were jumping over the wall, avoiding the guards, and sneaking to the periphery of Xiao Fan's courtyard, holding two snow-bright flying knives in their hands, quietly hiding in a corner.

Xiao Fan was so keen, he had already sensed the location of the two men in black. He didn't move, pushed open the door and entered the bedroom. Lu Qingya was making up the quilt, and when she saw Xiao Fan coming back, she smiled, greeted her, and said in the secret: "Twenty zhang away, there are people hiding, and the cultivation of the peak of the acquired realm is cultivated." ”

"Well, I've got it. ”

Xiao Fan nodded and responded.

Soon, the lights in the house went out and it was dark. Two dark shadows in the courtyard approached quietly, clinging to the window, piercing the window paper with one finger, and saw Xiao Fan who was sleeping soundly.

One of the black-clothed men sneered and nodded to the other black-clothed man, and the flying knife in his hand shot at Xiao Fan on the bed, making a slight sound of breaking the air.

"Ding!"

Xiao Fan turned over suddenly, and the two flying knives fell short and were nailed to the bed board.

"Bang!"

After the two blacks missed, they directly slammed into the window and rushed in, holding a snowy long knife to kill Xiao Fan left and right, waving the sword shadow all over the sky.

"Just because you're coming and killing me?"

Xiao Fan sneered, did not dodge or dodge in the face of the fierce attack, and when the two of them came close, their footsteps moved again and again, avoiding all the attacks, and at the same time, they attacked with both hands, locked the necks of the two black-clothed people, and lifted them up.

The two men in black struggled, their eyes filled with horror. They never dreamed that Xiao Fan would be so terrifying, and they could easily take them down with one face.

"Sister Qingya, close the window and don't let people know. ”

Xiao Fan commanded, and then luck was shocked, and the two black-clothed people were in severe pain, their facial features were distorted, and they only felt that a powerful true qi penetrated into their bodies, and every meridian where they passed was broken, and their cultivation was ruined.

"Kill us!"

The two men in black said in unison.

"Kill you?"

Xiao Fan sneered and threw the two black-clothed men on the ground, while Lu Qingya moved a stool. Xiao Fan sat down casually, looked at the man in black with a light smile, and said, "Say, who sent you." ”

"Humph!"

The two men in black snorted coldly and kept silent.

"Don't speak? I'll let you speak. ”

Xiao Fan grinned, that smile made the two black-clothed people feel cold all over their bodies, they saw Xiao Fan's hand stretched out, and then slapped them several times in succession, and suddenly a huge pain came from their hearts, making them roll wildly on the ground, unable to scream if they wanted to.

"How's it going, what's it like to have a broken hand, and I have a better way to deal with you, do you want to try it?"

"No, no one sent us, we want to kill you ourselves!"

The two men in black rolled around in pain, gritting their teeth and saying this.

"Don't say it, do you think I don't know who Lu Dao is if you don't say it?"

"Taishi Zhao?"

"Prime Minister Tai?"

Xiao Fan said two people, paying attention to the expressions of the two people at the same time. I found that when the two men in black heard Prime Minister Tai, a flash of surprise flashed in the depths of their eyes, although it was a flash and a great cover-up, but it did not escape his eyes.

"Xiao Fan, what are you going to do with them?"

Lu Qingya asked.

"Lock them up, it will be useful in the future, and they are two powerful witnesses. ”

Xiao Fan said this, and as soon as the words fell, he saw black blood overflowing from the mouths of the two black-clothed people, and he hurriedly pinched their mouths in shock, but it was too late.

"They committed suicide by poisoning!"

Xiao Fan's face was a little solemn, it seemed that it would not work to arrest these people as witnesses in the future. These people are simply dead soldiers, and once captured, they will poison themselves.

"See what clues you can find in them. ”

Lu Qingya squatted down, Xiao Fan understood, and searched on it, but did not find anything that could prove his identity. Later, when Xiao Fan tore open the clothes on the chests of the men in black, he found that they were all tattooed with strange marks on their chests.

"What kind of mark is this, I've never seen it!"

Xiao Fan was surprised and looked at Lu Qingya, meaning to ask if she had seen or heard of this kind of mark.

"I don't know the Dao, and I am definitely not a member of the several major sects of the Eastern Divine Prefecture. ”

"It shouldn't be from the Prime Minister's Mansion either. The Prime Minister's Mansion will not let these people walk in the dark get tattoos as symbols, otherwise it will be easy for people to find out the clues. ”

Xiao Fan said, vaguely he felt that the identities of these two men in black were not simple. The tattoo on the chest is also very strange, it is a pattern of a person throwing himself on the ground and worshipping reverently.

"What to do with the corpse?"

Lu Qingya looked at Xiao Fan.

"You sleep first, I'll take care of it, and I'll be back soon. ”

Xiao Fan quietly got the two corpses out of the General's Mansion, dug a pit in a vacant lot on the edge of the city and buried them directly. Very few people come here, and there is garbage everywhere, and no one can see that some of it is spread on the ground.

After doing all this, Xiao Fan returned to the mansion. After going to bed and lying down, he hugged Lu Qingya, kissed her on the neck, and said, "Sister Qingya, tomorrow you go back to the sect, let the second senior brother and the third senior brother come here to help me, remember to let them bring more alchemy herbs." ”

"Well, that's good. ”

Lu Qingya nodded.

In the early morning of the second day, early in the morning, Lu Qingya left with Xiao Fan's general token. And Xiao Fan is thinking about how to learn to lead troops to fight, and know how to arrange troops earlier, so that he will not be caught off guard in the future.

In the study, Xiao Fan sat on a chair and couldn't think of a good way. Now Yang Zilong is not in the city, and he can't find anyone if he wants to study.

"By the way, you can ask the Holy Elder and the Old Evil. How knowledgeable they are, they may have a solution. ”

Xiao Fan had a flash of inspiration, and immediately began to communicate with the Sacred Heart and the evil soul after thinking of it.

"Hey, Benjun doesn't know anything about marching and fighting, and I don't know how to help you, so you better ask the old immortal. ”

The evil spirit said, and when it was over, he didn't forget to curse the Sacred Heart.

"Holy Elder, do you know how to march and set up formations? Now I don't know anything, if I are suddenly asked to go to the battlefield, I don't understand anything at all, won't I let the soldiers who follow me die in vain?"

"Xiao Fan, don't worry. I don't know any of this, but as far as I know, if you want your army to have super combat effectiveness on the march, you need to know how to arrange formations. Many things in the world are interconnected, and the arrangement of military formations has evolved from other things. For example, gossip, the army can spread the truth of gossip into a gossip array. ”

"Saint Elder, you mean?"

"I mean, you can study some formations, and then integrate the principles of those formations into the army, so that you can evolve the military formation. ”

"I see!"

Xiao Fan nodded, and suddenly there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

"I have a lot of formation cheats here, you can take a look at the most basic ones first. ”

The Sacred Heart said, and then Xiao Fan felt a heat in his chest, and a golden light came out. A finger-sized book flew out of the golden light, slowly growing in size.

This is a very old book, and as soon as he got it in his hand, Xiao Fan felt an atmosphere of ancient vicissitudes. After opening the book, it explains various formations. The formations recorded here seemed to be the most basic, but Xiao Fan felt that there seemed to be something more than the basic formations he was usually exposed to.

"Take a good look at it, with your peerless understanding, I think you can understand their truth at most. Also, during this time, in addition to studying these formations, you also need to learn more about the basic knowledge of army combat, the specialties of the troops, etc., which are all necessary. ”

"I know how to say, thank you, Saint Elder. Xiao Fan said, and suddenly thought of something, and asked the evil spirit: "By the way, old evil, when will you teach me the art of seal carving?"

"I know that you kid coveted my seal carving skills, and your realm was not enough before, and I had no way to teach you. Now that you have entered the innate realm, you can learn this seal carving technique, so go and study it. ”

The evil spirit responded, and then Xiao Fan felt a series of information come to mind, which was a series of secrets and some basic knowledge and experience.

"This is all the secrets of the seal carving technique, I have already taught it to you, and how far you can cultivate depends on your own creation. ”

"Old evil, don't you have a book on seal carving?"

"No, do you think I'm like an old immortal, he has a heart, it can be used as storage space, what do I use to store it, use this wisp of remnant soul?"

"Well, when I didn't ask. Xiao Fan smiled helplessly.
