Chapter 55: The Night Cold (3/5)
As Fang Yuanhai expected, the forbidden army blocked the whole city and wantonly searched for the black-clothed man who set fire that night, but he didn't dare to offend Qingningfang too much.
Although the imperial court's request is to treat everyone equally, Qingningfang and Pingqingfang are too many dignitaries and dignitaries in it, and even the mansions of many forbidden army generals are in these two squares.
Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian have been staying in the Fang Mansion in Qingningfang, living in a simple house, safe and safe, but too depressed. Xiao Suifeng has a deep personality, and he has lived on the uninhabited Luo Qingfeng for twelve years, so he naturally doesn't care about this. But with Yu Wenqian's out-of-the-box temperament, such days are torture.
Fortunately, the imperial capital is an important place after all, and such a large-scale city-wide search and arrest cannot be maintained for a long time, but in three or two days, those menacing forbidden troops have all withdrawn to the barracks, at least on the surface, the peace of the imperial capital has been restored.
Of course, such a major case that is equivalent to a blatant provocation of the imperial court, the imperial court will naturally not stop easily, and the forbidden army is withdrawn, but in order to reduce the impact on the surface, but in secret, Tiantai Mansion, Jingzhao Mansion, the Criminal Department and even the Military Department are still closely investigating in secret. It's just that whether it is the people sent by Fang Yuanhai or those real people in black, their whereabouts are very secretive, so there is no progress at all.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian.
On the third day after the incident, seeing that the rumors in the imperial capital had gradually subsided, it was inevitable that there would be many dreams at night, Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian did not stay much, so they asked Fang Yuanhai for a token, and passed the city gate to check and left the imperial capital.
Yu Wenqian has also been suppressed for a long time in the past two days, as soon as she left the imperial capital city, she felt free and happy like a bird out of the cage, and she didn't take a carriage, but directly rode a green horse on the official road. Looking at Yu Wenqian's appearance, Xiao Suifeng naturally felt in a happy mood, and with a flick of the horsewhip, he chased after him.
Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian already have a plan.
Since the two of them only got the name of Shen Lun, a dead man, on their trip to the imperial capital, they had to follow the name of this dead man. And Shen Lun has the ability to look at the horse bandits on the mountain plain, so if he wants to find clues, he naturally wants to go to the mountain plain.
Before coming to the imperial capital, it was indeed convenient to take the waterway, but to go to Wangshanyuan, there was only a land road.
Wangshan Yuan is in the southwest of the Dakang Dynasty, looking at Tianshan Mountain in the west and Hengshan Mountain in the south, so it is called Wangshan Yuan.
Wangshan was not a peaceful place, there were mysterious barren tribes in the Tianshan Mountains in the north, and the barbaric Li Yi in the south of Hengshan. Even in the Wangshan Plain, it is not peaceful, and the Fushan City, which has troops and secession, is located in it, and as for the rest of the large and small horse bandits, herdsmen and tribes, there are countless of them. Even the Cold Moon Sect in the Broken Soul Mountain, although it was not in the Wangshan Plain, was next to each other, and there were countless believers in the Wangshan Plain.
Although the entire Wangshan Plain, although the name mountain is in the territory of the Dakang Dynasty, in fact, the imperial court has no way to control it at all, and can only station heavy troops in a limited number of cities, not sweeping, so as to barely maintain the situation, so as not to completely lose the entire Wangshan Plain.
The reason why the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect's campaign against the Cold Moon Sect was able to get the response of the entire world's righteous path was also due to the Tiantai Mansion. And Tiantai Mansion represents the Dakang Imperial Court, and the reason why it dispatched a large army is to prepare to take this opportunity to sweep away all the unsubordinate forces in the west, including the Cold Moon Sect and Fushan City.
At present, the seventh day of July has passed, and the righteous forces and imperial armies of the Heavenly Eagle Fort Alliance may have entered the western region, and Wangshan Yuan must also be the focus of the sweep, and the situation is bound to be more turbulent and dangerous.
It's just that Xiao Suifeng has a deep hatred of blood in his heart, and he is not even afraid of death, so naturally there is nothing to make him retreat. Although Yu Wenqian is a woman, she is also lawless and afraid of the chaos in the world, so she is naturally even more fearless.
Now that these two people have come together, what other place in this world is there that they dare not go?
......
All the way to the west, the two rode horses along the official road for a day, and finally came to a small city called Nanping before sunset.
At this moment, although the sky has not darkened, the time is not early, and the two of them are not particularly anxious, and they do not need to travel overnight, so the two of them plan to stay in this Nanping City and find an inn for the night.
The two rode into the city slowly, Xiao Suifeng was naturally the same as always, dressed in gray-black clothes, expressionless, carrying a long sword, and at first glance he was a Jianghu man with no oil and water.
But Yu Wenqian has to see too much.
At this moment, Yu Wenqian had already taken off her Luo skirt and changed into a white gown, which was also heroic. It's just that for convenience, although Yu Wenqian is dressed as a man, she still has red lips and white teeth, and white skin is better than snow, how do you look like a person from the rivers and lakes, but it seems to be a beautiful son from a rich and noble family who goes out to play, so as soon as she enters the city, she attracts a lot of attention, of course, many of them are young ladies who are just beginning to fall in love.
Yuwen Qian is a quirky character, seeing the eyes of those little girls, not only was she embarrassed, but she was playful, and from time to time she threw a smile at those little girls, which made the eyes of those little ladies more and more hot.
Xiao Suifeng watched from the side, quite speechless, and was about to remind Yu Wenqian to be a little more restrained, but suddenly felt that someone seemed to be staring at him in the alley on the side, and suddenly turned his head to look, but only saw a gray back, which quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Xiao Suifeng can be sure that the person who peeked at him just now is the gray shadow, but who is that person, and why does he feel vaguely familiar when he looks at his background?
In the past twelve years, Xiao Suifeng has lived on Luoqing Peak and rarely interacted with people, that is, this time he went down the mountain, and he came into contact with a little more talents, but many were limited, and there were not many people who could leave an impression and were familiar.
Xiao Suifeng silently recalled in his heart, but although the familiar feeling was there, it was very vague, and he couldn't match the number at all, let alone who the figure was, so he had no choice but to give up.
This made Xiao Suifeng frown.
Since getting off Mount Tailai and heading to Linhai, he has been attacked and killed one after another along the way, and he has also been designed to blame in Linhai City, as if there has always been a big net covering him. It was only after the bloody killing that night in Linhai City that he gradually got rid of this feeling. Who knows, at this moment, he and Yu Wenqian have just left the imperial capital for only one day, and this feeling of being targeted has returned.
People who walk the rivers and lakes are always very sensitive to danger, which is an extremely mysterious sense, and they can't say why, but no one dares to ignore it. Xiao Suifeng didn't believe that he was dazzled, and that kind of sobering feeling would not come out for no reason, but what kind of person was following him all the time, calculating himself? Could this person hiding behind it be related to the bloody case of the year, or was it the murderer of the year?
The more Xiao Suifeng thought about it, the more chaotic his thoughts became, and his face naturally became more gloomy.
Yuwen Qian teased the little lady and was about to show off her charm to Xiao Suifeng, but when she saw Xiao Suifeng's face ugly and her brows tightened, she couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately put away her laughter and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Suifeng glanced at her, but he didn't hide it from her, and said frankly, "We seem to be being targeted again." ”
When Yuwen Qian heard this, she immediately looked around, although she didn't find anything, but she didn't doubt Xiao Suifeng's words, she was riding on a horse for a while, her head was lowered and her eyebrows were frowned slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but it made the little ladies who were staring at her disappointed.
