On the second day, Zilong got up early in the morning and hurriedly came to the camp where King An placed the bandits in Heifeng Village.

Jiang Yunsong saw Zilong coming from afar, and he also greeted him happily.

After everyone greeted each other, they began to select two thousand elites from among the less than 3,000 bandits.

Because of the cooperation of Jiang Yunsong and other leaders, plus these bandits, most of them were from the border army, and they quickly selected 2,000 elites. Zilong personally trained this new army with formation and military discipline, which led to the successful formation and training of this new army, which was highly praised by King An.

Zilong also threw himself on this new army, and he ate and lived in the barracks.

A few days later, a guard suddenly came to summon Zilong, saying that King An was looking for Zilong to return to the house, and there was something important to discuss.

Before he arrived at the palace, he saw that the palace was like a great enemy, and there were constantly guards entering and leaving the palace.

Zilong asked, and these guards just kept silent, obviously the matter was indeed confidential.

At that moment, he entered the palace and prepared to walk towards King An's study. I didn't want this guard to say that King An did not summon Zilong in the study this time, but went to the martial arts arena of the palace.

Zilong could only come to the palace martial arts arena, and saw from a distance that the guards were standing there with swords on guard, looking like no one should approach.

After Zilong stepped forward, these guards did not directly let him go, and they had to inform the prince and get the permission of King An before letting Zilong enter the martial arts arena.

The martial arts arena in King An's Mansion is very large, which can accommodate thousands of people.

At this time, there were a lot of people in the vast martial arts arena.

There are palace guards, garrisons in the north of the city, and doctors and servants, etc., who come and go from tents of different sizes on the martial arts arena.

These tents are dotted around, and there are constant wails coming from inside, making this martial arts arena like a battlefield ambulance site.

Wang An was gathered around with several officers and Sun Jingwen, discussing something in a low voice, Zilong stepped forward, saluted and said, "Lord Wang, Zilong is ordered to come!"

King An found Zilong at this time, and immediately took Zilong's hand and pointed to a place where they were surrounded, but here were the remains of more than a dozen soldiers who had died, all of whom were blue.

I only heard King An say: "Zilong, you have experience in walking the rivers and lakes, come, help me see, who killed these soldiers?"

Zilong looked at the injuries of these people and felt that they were very familiar, so he immediately kept silent, leaned down, and carefully examined the remains of these killed soldiers.

A large blue-purple handprint was found on their bodies, and their hearts immediately sank, and they remembered their master, Gu Xiaotian's poisonous dragon palm, which was probably done by the Tianyin Sect.

But for the sake of the master, Zilong didn't want to make a noise for the time being, pretended not to see anything, stood up quietly, shook his head and replied to King An: "Lord Wang, the murderer's kung fu is very vicious, but the injury examination alone can't determine who the murderer is. ”

"Uh!" King An pondered for a long time before raising his head and saying, "Yes, they didn't leave any alive, and we haven't found any clues so far." ”

"Why did they kill the people of our royal palace?" Zilong asked.

King An sighed and replied: "A few days ago, the imperial court allocated the military salary for the next year, and the soldiers escorting the military salary set out from the capital, and when they passed through the Wild Horse Valley in the south of Yulin, they encountered a group of bandits! These bandits are very high in martial arts, and their methods are also ferocious, and they killed all the soldiers of this team of no less than 500!

This kind of slaughter that leaves no living mouth makes Zilong can't help but chuckle in his heart, what the Tianyin Sect does is too inhumane, and the one who takes the lead is his master Gu Xiaotian, it seems that the master has returned to the Demon Dao for Ye Wuyan, and Zilong is disappointed for a while.

If it weren't for the fact that he had practiced the Poisonous Dragon Palm, maybe no one would have found out that it was the Tianyin Sect, but he couldn't betray his master.

If King An knew that it was the master who did it, so that King An sent troops to retaliate, it would not be impossible to capture Fengyun Valley, and the master could only be beheaded at that time.

However, King An cannot be allowed to lose his military salary, otherwise it will be a crime of dereliction of duty for the imperial court.

King An has the grace of knowing himself, and he can go from a beggar to a garrison with an army of 2,000, all of which are because King An appreciates himself.

Wang An saw Zilong's solemn expression, and guessed that Zilong couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while, so he reminded Zilong: "Zilong, will it be Liu Jin behind the scenes this time?"

Zilong replied: "It's also possible, but he has just been involved in a book by the prince, he shouldn't be so quick and prosperous, the crime of robbing the army's salary is not trivial, once it is revealed, it will be the end of the whole house, Liu Jin has become a fire and water with the prince, isn't he afraid that the prince will suspect him?"

"What Zilong said is very true, I also think it's not Liu Jin, because five days have passed, if Liu Jin did it, it is estimated that he would have already joined me in front of the emperor. But there are no clues that can track down the murderer at the moment, how can this be good?" Wang An said urgently.

"Is the prince willing to hand over the task of investigating the murderer to his subordinates?" Zilong asked with his fists clenched.

King An looked at Zilong, and his eyes lit up: "Could it be that Zilong has a clue?"

Zilong replied: "Now according to the injury, I tend to judge that it was done by someone in the Jianghu martial arts, but it is only a judgment, and I can't draw a conclusion until I verify it." I want to hurry up and go to the scene of the robbery to see if there are any clues. ”

"Okay, without further ado, I'll send the palace guards to accompany you. ”

"Lord, you don't need to work to mobilize the people, I can go alone, it is estimated that it will take ten days to investigate, and I hope that the prince will not be too anxious and take care of his body. ”

"Zilong rest assured, this king is very confident in you, I am waiting for your good news in the palace!"

Zilong replied: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, your subordinates will do their best!"

After finishing speaking, Zilong turned around and left directly.

King An flicked his long beard slightly, nodded at Sun Jingwen and said: "Zilong is indeed a rare talent, it is estimated that what was found in the examination just now, but it has not yet been determined, I hope Zilong can find clues here, otherwise the delay in the payment of military salaries will make the army unstable, and what is even more terrible is that Liu Jin got the news, and he will attack my An Wangfu, and then the emperor will blame it, and things will be big." Jingwen, remember that this matter should not be publicized. ”

"The door is saved, please rest assured!" Sun Jingwen bowed and said.

Zilong on the other side was thinking about how to deal with this matter, and after thinking about it, he had to go to the Tianyin Sect first and find Master Gu Xiaotian, but he didn't know whether he was friend or foe after meeting.

All the way out of the gate of the palace with a heart in mind, he jumped on his war horse, beat his horse and went east.

Not long after leaving the city gate, I saw two horsemen galloping in the distance, and from a distance, it turned out to be Miao Ling and a middle-aged beautiful woman who still had charm.

Although Zilong had some festivals with Miao Ling, he had a heavy responsibility at this time, so he naturally wouldn't go to Miao Ling's unhappiness, and was ready to go directly.

Unexpectedly, Miao Ling saw Zilong from afar, immediately stopped in front of Zilong's horse, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Yo, isn't this Xu Shoubei? I heard that he surrendered Heifeng Village, and he is really a lot more majestic, and he has become a celebrity around King An?

Zilong couldn't help frowning, and said in a cold voice: "Miss Miao, I still have something to do, can I let me?" said as he circled the horse, preparing to go around Miao Ling.

Miao Ling couldn't help but be furious, and just as she was about to get angry, she heard a middle-aged beautiful woman suddenly cough and call softly: "Ling'er, don't mess around!"

"Mother!" Miao Ling complained.

This voice is like a yellow warbler in the hollow valley, and it is graceful to listen to.

When Zilong heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at the middle-aged beauty, who saw Zilong's eyes, smiled slightly, and nodded.

Zilong heard Miao Ling call his mother, and knew that she was the leader of the Fengyue Gang, so he couldn't help but feel good, nodded, and said: "In Xia Xu Zilong, I have long admired the name of the Ma Gang Leader!"

"Xu Shaoxia is polite! Xu Shaoxia persuaded the Black Wind Village, and the people of Ningxia applauded and praised it, saying that Xu Shaoxia was a big hero!" Ma Fengyue said with a smile.

Zilong said embarrassedly: "Don't dare to be, it's my duty to do things for the people, the horse gang leader praised it, I have official business to do, take a step first, and say goodbye!" Zilong directly slapped the horsewhip and walked away.

Seeing Zilong drifting away, Miao Ling couldn't help but throw the horsewhip to the ground angrily, and said, "Mother, that guy is his daughter's enemy, and he bullied his daughter, why should you respect him so much?"

When Ma Fengyue heard her daughter's words, she couldn't help frowning lightly, and said, "Ling'er, this Xu Shaoxia is dignified, not like a treacherous villain, you may have misunderstood him!"

Miao Ling heard that Ma Fengyue actually helped Zilong speak, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Mother, don't be deceived by that guy's appearance, at first I thought he was a good person and didn't want him to ...... He ......"

"What's wrong with him?" Ma Fengyue asked curiously, her eyes fluttering.

"It's nothing!" Miao Ling remembered that time when Zilong tore off her clothes in public, she couldn't help but blush, pouted, and said resentfully.

"Okay! Okay!" Ma Fengyue couldn't help but smile lightly, patted his beloved daughter's head dotingly, and said, "He is King An's subordinate, and when he goes out of the city at this time, it is obvious that King An has something to do, and we can't delay King An's big business!

"Well, I know!" Miao Ling finally calmed his anger and said, "It is precisely because King An is a good prince that we Hui people will be grateful, if King An knows that we are here to invite King An to participate in our Hui people's Eid al-Fitr, I believe King An will be overjoyed!"

Ma Fengyue nodded and said: "There are really very few Ming princes like King An, who only think about the people! This Eid al-Fitr, we want to invite their families to go, and you have to clean up your tomboy appearance for me later, so as not to make the prince unhappy!"

"Got it, mother!" Miao Lingfei went down to pick up the horse whip, and whipped it fiercely on the horse, as if the horse was Zilong, and headed towards Ningxia City. When Ma Fengyue saw it, she couldn't help but smile helplessly, and she also rode a horse to catch up with Miao Ling.
