When night fell, the already cold town of Gesang was even quieter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiao Suifeng couldn't sleep, so according to the habit of nine days, he climbed onto the roof of the inn again, looked at the quiet night, and fell into deep thought.

In Gesang City, except for the locals whose homes are in the city, they are basically all members of the Cold Moon Sect, outsiders like Xiao Suifeng, except for Xiao Suifeng, it is estimated that there will be no second person in the city.

Although it was a battlefield far away from the confrontation between the main forces of the Righteous Path Sect and the main forces of the Cold Moon Sect, the atmosphere of the great battle still seriously affected this small city, so that during the day, it was very deserted, and as for nightfall, it was not to mention.

Right now, Xiao Suifeng sat on the roof of the inn, looking down on the whole city, and found that the entire small city was basically pitch black, but on the city wall, there was fire everywhere, obviously even at night, the guards of the Cold Moon Sect were extremely strict, without the slightest carelessness.

This Xiao Suifeng can understand.

After returning from Aoki Peak, when Xiao Suifeng passed through Nagu City, he had heard from the people of the Cold Moon Sect that since the incident of the elite of the righteous path sect sneaking up on the Holy City of the Cold Moon Sect, although it had caused a great threat to the Holy City, and even seriously affected the morale of the members of the Cold Moon Sect, it had also taught the entire Cold Moon Sect a lesson, so that the current Cold Moon Sect, whether it was at the forefront of the confrontation or in the seemingly safe rear, was not slackening at all.

This is the case in other places, this Gesang City guards the main road to Guyu City, and the guards are naturally even more strict.

In Xiao Suifeng's mind, there was a flash of light about the Cold Moon Sect, and then it was left behind by Xiao Suifeng, although Xiao Suifeng was carrying the waist card of a guest elder of the Cold Moon Sect on his body, but it was only for the convenience of acting in Wangshan Plain, Xiao Suifeng was holding that waist card, and Xiao Suifeng was still not interested in the real things of the Cold Moon Sect.

What bothers Xiao Suifeng the most at the moment is how to investigate Shen Lun's matter.

The night breeze came slowly, the silence was peaceful, Xiao Suifeng gently tasted the light wine provided in the inn, and at the same time let his heart slowly calm down.

In fact, Xiao Suifeng was not completely clueless, after all, when he was in the Aoki Villa before, Xiao Suifeng also talked to Taiqian about the things in the Wangshan Plain.

Taiqian's original plan was naturally to accompany Xiao Suifeng to Nawang Mountain Plain, this point, since Tan Tai Qian helped Xiao Suifeng get the news from Tiantai Mansion, Tan Tai Qian made up her mind, and in fact, if there was no later thing, Tan Tai Qian was not discovered by the people of Aoki Villa, and was finally brought back by Tan Tai Yan, Tan Tai Qian is probably already in Nawang Mountain Plain with Xiao Suifeng at this moment.

Compared with Xiao Suifeng, who was impatient after the news of the Shen Lun, it was difficult to calm down and consider the specific actions after Wangshanyuan, but Taiqian was in place early Xiao Suifeng thought about it.

Naturally, such as Xiao Suifeng at the moment, it is very difficult to investigate the old case more than ten years ago and find the old person more than ten years ago.

Therefore, at the beginning, it was naturally impossible for Taiqian to make any complete plans, and her idea was just a general step.

According to Tan Tai Qian, early in the morning, almost after getting the news from Tiantai Mansion, Tan Tai Qian had a general idea, but at that time, Tan Tai Qian was bent on going to Wangshan Yuan with Xiao Suifeng to help Xiao Suifeng find Shen Lun and investigate the clues of the old case, so this idea in her heart was not told to Xiao Suifeng.

And what happened later made Taiqian discovered by the people of Aoki Villa, and was captured back to Aoki Villa by Taiyan, so there was no chance to tell Xiao Suifeng what he thought in his heart.

However, fortunately, Xiao Suifeng is not an ordinary person, knowing that this Aoki Villa is in danger, he resolutely came to Aoki Villa, and also sneaked directly into the interior of Aoki Villa, and finally made a big fuss.

To be honest, Xiao Suifeng's move, in Taiqian's heart, naturally had faint expectations, but he really didn't have too many expectations. It can be imagined from this that when Taiqian knew that Xiao Suifeng was really thousands of miles away for her, and she came to Aoki Villa without fear of danger, you can imagine that Taiqian was moved in her heart at the beginning.

It is precisely because of this that Taiqian and Xiao Suifeng finally have a chance to meet again.

And when Xiao Suifeng was in Aoki Villa at that time, Taiqian also knew that no matter whether Xiao Suifeng could leave Aoki Villa easily, her own idea of wanting to go to Wangshanyuan with Xiao Suifeng would be difficult to make the trip in a short period of time, she was grounded in Aoki Villa by her sister, and it was difficult to even step out of Aoki Villa, let alone Wangshanyuan.

Therefore, when Taiqian was ready to send Xiao Suifeng out desperately, even by means of death, she first told Xiao Suifeng what she thought in her heart, and for Xiao Suifeng, she finally had some references, so that Xiao Suifeng, who was calm down at the moment, was not completely at a loss in his heart.

As mentioned earlier, Taiqian's idea is not actually a plan, just a general idea, after all, Taiqian is not a fairy, she is just more flexible and thinks more, but she is not an omniscient person. As for what Xiao Suifeng would encounter when investigating Shen Lun or the clues of the old case, Taiqian couldn't calculate.

According to Taiqian's thoughts, Shen Lun, the head of the horse bandits, although he was also well-known in Wangshan Plain back then, but after all, it was more than ten years ago. The Xiao family's extermination case occurred twelve years ago, and according to the records of Tiantai Mansion, Shen Lun's gang had been exterminated by the army of the Dakang Imperial Court three years before the Xiao family's extermination case, and the bandit was disbanded, and the bandit leader Shen Lun also died in the chaos.

According to Taiqian, even if it was Shen Lun's death, he did not die under the encirclement and suppression of the border army, and the golden cicada escaped from the army's strangulation, but after all, nearly fifteen years have passed, if Shen Lun really did not die, I am afraid that he would have already changed his face and disappeared to find a trace, and after so many years, even if Shen Lun had left any clues at the beginning, I am afraid that it was slowly erased by time, so Xiao went to Wangshanyuan with the wind, whether it was to find clues about Shen Lun or the Xiao family's extermination case, I am afraid it is extremely difficult。

It's just that Taiqian knows this, but Xiao Suifeng also knows it. But Xiao Suifeng has no other clues at the moment except for Shen Lun's clue, so he knows that this clue is extremely slim, but it is impossible to give up.

The time that Taiqian and Xiao Suifeng spent together was not long or short, but they also had a very accurate grasp of Xiao Suifeng's character and heart, so they didn't persuade Xiao Suifeng much in this regard, only mentioned it slightly, and directly gave advice to Xiao Suifeng.

The approximate scope of Shen Lun's activities back then was recorded in the archives of Tiantai Mansion, but according to Taiqian's statement, it was probably not of much use to go directly to the place where Shen Lun was active to investigate the clues, so it was better to find the location of the border army that exterminated Shen Lun back then.

In fact, when Tiantai Mansion was investigating the Xiao family's murder case, since it had already investigated Shen Lun's body, it was naturally strictly investigated. Therefore, to a large extent, Taiqian's thoughts are somewhat similar to the investigation method of Tiantai Mansion back then.

Back then, after Tiantai Mansion found out the name Shen Lun, it was the first time to find the border army that exterminated Tiantai Mansion that year.

As the regular army of the Dakang Imperial Court, the border army naturally has many things recorded in the archives, such as the extermination of Shen Lun's horse bandits, although it is not a big deal in Wangshan Plain, but it is also recorded by the border army.

It's just that the record of the border army back then was very simple, just a few words, recording where, when, and how many horse bandits were finally besieged, it was considered a complete record and could be archived, but as for the details or anything, there was no. For example, the border army's description of Shen Lun only said that Shen Lun was the leader of the gang and was strangled by the army in the encirclement and suppression.

As for how many of the bandits under Shen Lun fled after Shen Lun was killed, and where they fled, he didn't say a word.

It is precisely because the records of the border army are very simple that it is difficult to trace the investigation of Tiantai Mansion at all, so the last clue was also interrupted here, forcing Tiantai Mansion to finally give up the investigation of the Xiao family's extermination case, and finally helplessly sealed it in a state that could not be solved.

In fact, this can't be blamed on the border army, after all, the army is the army, and it is not easy to have a copywriting record, so naturally you can't expect the vulgar border army to record everything in detail like Tiantai Mansion.

According to Shantai Qian, although Tiantai Mansion had already conducted an investigation on the border army back then, but no results were obtained, but after Xiao Suifeng resisted Wangshanyuan, it was best to find the border army that encircled and suppressed Shen Lun first, and investigate it in person. It's not that she doesn't trust the investigation ability of Tiantai Mansion back then, but who knows if there was anything omission in Tiantai Mansion back then?

From the perspective of Taiqian, Xiao Suifeng focused on what needed to be investigated, and in addition to the records of the border army back then, it was best to find the veterans of the border army who had participated in the encirclement and suppression of the horse bandits.

Of course, all this is just to increase the possibility that Xiao Suifeng will finally find the clue, but it is not necessarily guaranteed that Xiao Suifeng will really be able to get news from the border army, but he will not miss any news as much as possible.

Here, Tan Taiqian also made a special move for Xiao Suifeng.

Although the relationship with the Cold Moon Sect can bring some convenience to Xiao Suifeng, in the Dakang Imperial Court, the army, or those righteous sects, not only can it not bring convenience, but it can only bring trouble. Therefore, when dealing with the imperial court, the army, or those sect forces in Wangshan Yuan who are inclined to the righteous path, Xiao Suifeng is reporting the identity of the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, and it may not be possible to receive special effects.

After the border army investigated, Xiao Suifeng was going to the place where Shen Lun's activities were located.

The scope of horse thieves' activities is generally very large, and although there are many horse bandits in Wangshan Plain, most of the horse thieves will not operate in the same place before, and they will not invade each other because they have their own spheres of influence.

Because between these different horse bandit gangs, the strength of each one is about the same, not big and not too small, so generally in the face of military encirclement and suppression, there will be contact and cooperation between these seemingly unrelated horse bandits, so this shows that there is also their connection between horse thieves.

Therefore, Taiqian gave Xiao Suifeng a suggestion, when investigating the argument, the scope should be enlarged, not only limited to the scope of Shen Lun's activities in the archives, but also for places outside the scope, it is also necessary to investigate.

Moreover, it is best to find that when Shen Lun's horse bandit gang still existed, if one of the remaining horse bandits close to Shen Lun's sphere of influence was active and had not been wiped out by the army, Xiao Suifeng might be able to get more clues from them.

After all, Shen Lun is a horse thief, and the one who knows the horse thief best is by no means the army, or a horse thief with the same identity.

It can be said that the most important investigation target when going to Wangshanyuan is Shen Lun.

It's just that Tan Taiqian also said to Xiao Suifeng in advance, asking Xiao Suifeng not to attach too much importance to the existence of Shen Lun, lest anything be investigated in the end, or in the end, when it is found that Shen Lun has nothing to do with the Xiao family's murder case, it will be difficult for Xiao Suifeng to accept.

Now, the reason why Shen Lun is to be investigated is also because of a corollary from Taiqian and Tiantai Mansion.

From a direct point of view, Shen Lun has no direct relationship with the old case back then, but the man in black who was killed back then was Shen Lun's old department, so if Shen Lun hadn't died in the hands of the border army back then, maybe he would have taken the rest of his men to hide together, or maybe he would have taken the rest of his men to hide together.

Obviously, all the original inferences from Xiao Suifeng's heading to Wangshan at the moment were based on the premise that Shen Lun was not dead.

In case Shen Lun really died in the border army back then, all Xiao Suifeng's investigation at the moment would be meaningless, after all, the man in black who died back then, although it was Shen Lun's old department, but if Shen Lun died, he might have joined other forces. (To be continued.) )
