The convoy was full of people with swords and guns. They organized themselves and followed after hearing about the na of the female hero Feiyan.
This was their third ti to go out to hunt the barbarian rangers. Thanks to the superb skills of the female hero Feiyan, they returned with a full load this ti, killing 120 barbarian rangers, capturing 50 war horses, 68 scimitars, and taking back the food that the barbarian cavalry had looted from the won.
The war horses, scimitars, won and food were damaged and killed to varying degrees in the battle between the two sides.
The soldiers guarding the city squinted their eyes and looked at the heroic and delicate female hero Feiyan on the white horse. They imdiately showed admiration and called the guards on the top of the city, holding spears to et them.
"Feiyan Xia, you are back? Oh, you killed so many barbarians again this ti."
"Quick, escort Feiyan Xia to the governnt office to receive the reward."
The soldiers guarding the city were pleasantly surprised. They felt that Feiyan Xia was a role model for heroes in the martial arts world and a great figure worth following.
Two rows of soldiers led the way in front, escorting Li Miaozhen and her group into the city. The people in the city saw Feiyan Xia on a white horse and the bodies of the barbarians transported back, and they warmly welcod her.
They shouted the na of "Feiyan Xia".
The people behind Li Miaozhen straightened their chests and were proud of it.
About ten days ago, Feiyan Xia suddenly ca to Beishan County. In the na of acting on behalf of heaven, she severely punished a group of profiteers who raised grain prices, and robbed hundreds of stones of grain and grass and distributed them to the poor and beggars who could not afford to eat.
The profiteers were backed by bigwigs in the officialdom, so of course they would not give up, so they sent troops to capture them. But they were defeated one by one by the female hero Feiyan.
The people in the market didn't know what happened later, but after that incident, the female hero Feiyan gathered a group of people in Beishan County to hunt barbarian cavalry.
Then she went to the governnt to collect rewards, exchanged the rewards for food, built a porridge shed outside the city, and gave alms to refugees and beggars who couldn't afford to eat.
For a ti, the good deeds of the female hero Feiyan were widely circulated among the people, and they talked about it with relish.
There were even refugees from other counties who walked dozens of miles on foot, crossed mountains and ridges to Beishan County to wait for porridge.
After the alms were over, Li Miaozhen returned to the inn where she stayed, and took a bath with Su Su's service to wash off the bloody sll on her body.
She sat at the table, pondering in silence.
After the letter was delivered that day, Li Miaozhen followed Xu Qian'an's advice and made a high-profile appearance, doing chivalrous deeds everywhere. Now she is well-known in the northern border.
Due to the limited ti of "debut", it is definitely impossible to spread her reputation throughout Yunzhou as she did in the past.
After a full ten days, countless people ca to her. So for fa, so for profit, and so purely to fight against the barbarians.
Li Miaozhen used the Tianzong Heart thod to do a simple elimination and eliminated those with bad intentions. Most of those who stayed were heroes who were for fa and profit for the people.
In her opinion, as long as you are willing to do good things, fa and profit are fine.
However, the person Li Miaozhen really wanted to wait for did not co.
"Master, is there no new progress on that kid? Isn't he a god at solving cases? I'm afraid he has nothing to do." Su Su held the tea and put it on the table.
Seeing the master frowning and working hard, Su Su felt a little distressed.
"This matter is not that simple." Li Miaozhen had learned the truth of the "Blood Slaughter Three Thousand Miles" case from Xu Qian'an through the Earth Book.
"I have been thinking these days, if Chuzhou really had a bloodbath of 3,000 miles, even if the governnt wanted to conceal it, the people in the underworld and the common people could not stop talking."
Li Miaozhen frowned: "But no matter how I ask, no one knows."
Su Su tilted her head, her stunningly beautiful face showed a rare contemplation, suddenly her beautiful eyes lit up, and she said happily: "I thought of it, I thought of it."
Li Miaozhen remained skeptical: "What do you know now."
Su Su's green jade fingers twisted a strand of black hair, blinked playfully, and said with a smile:
"Think about it, if a bloodbath of 3,000 miles really happened, but no one knew about it, would it be that the person involved had his mory erased? Just like I can't rember why my father was convicted and sentenced to beheading."
Li Miaozhen sneered at the words: "Such a large-scale killing, even if the mory is erased, will leave indelible traces. How can the barbarian spies not find it? You are really..."
She suddenly froze, her eyes gradually beca empty, and she was stunned.
Su Su hurriedly asked: "Master, what did you think of?"
Li Miaozhen suddenly ca back to her senses and pondered: "But your idea may not be a clue. If such a big thing really happened, but it could be concealed from everyone... In that system, what level of strong people can do it?"
First, she ruled out the warriors, which was sothing that did not need to be thought about.
Then, two words erged in her mind: Warlock!
Xu Qian'an once said that a high-quality warlock can block the secrets of heaven, block soone or sothing, and turn himself into a little transparent... Li Miaozhen just felt that
his brain was electrified.
The idea suddenly ca through.
In today's Jiuzhou, there is only one warlock with this ability that she can think of: the
Supervisor.
Li Miaozhen trembled all over because of this guess.
Calm down, Xu Qian'an said, first make a bold assumption, then carefully verify... Before there is evidence to prove it, everything is my conjecture, not the truth... Li Miaozhen took a deep breath and was about to take out the fragnts of the Earth Book and tell Xu Qian'an his
bold idea.
At this ti, the door of the room was knocked.
Li Miaozhen said lightly: "Co in."
While speaking, the little ghost standing behind the door opened the door attentively and
invited the guest in.
The visitor was a middle-aged man, one of the Jianghu n who surrendered to Li Miaozhen,
a native of Chuzhou, nad Zhao Jin. This man has a decent cultivation and always takes the lead in killing barbarians.
Not for fa and fortune, just because he is a Chuzhou native, he wants to drive out the barbarians and benefit the Chuzhou folks.
Li Miaozhen, who was wearing a casual uniform, was serious and calm like a soldier. He said, "Brother Zhao, what do you want to talk to about?"
Zhao Jin laughed heartily: "We have returned with a full load again this ti. The rice we exchanged is enough for the refugees outside the city to eat porridge for three days. The brothers are very happy and want to find a restaurant to celebrate."
As he spoke, he drove to the table, put his finger into Li Miaozhen's teacup, dipped it in water, and wrote on the table: My master wants to see you. It's about the slaughter of the people by the King of Zhenbei.
"I just ca to ask if you are going to the banquet tonight." Zhao Jin's voice was loud and his
smile was generous.
Li Miaozhen stared at the handwriting on the table, was silent for a long ti, and said,
"Thank you brothers for your kindness for . I won't go."
Zhao Jin nodded, did not stay any longer, and turned to leave the room.
He returned to the lobby along the stairs, and a group of people around the table, drinking
and eating at, imdiately asked: "How is it, did the Feiyan lady agree?"
Zhao Jin shook his head helplessly.
Everyone was disappointed and booed.
A female hero like Li Miaozhen is the most suitable for people in the martial arts world. There
are many people who admire her and want to marry her.
This kind of secret love will end in failure and beco a mory many years later.
Zhao Jin drank a few glasses of wine and went back to his room to sleep on the pretext that he
was drunk.
After closing the door, he took out a talisman that Li Miaozhen had just given him from his arms and ignited it with his qi. As the talisman burned, he felt sleepiness coming like a tide, his eyelids sank, and he fell into a deep sleep.
In the haze, he opened his eyes again, and there was a beautiful lady in a Taoist robe in the
room, it was Li Miaozhen.
"This is a dream. What you saw is my Nascent Soul. Ha, although you didn't say it explicitly, I know that so people already know my identity."
The dispute between heaven and man has been brewing for more than a month. Not many
people know the truth that the Holy Maiden of Tianzong is Li Miaozhen, and also the Flying Swallow Lady, but there are quite a few.
But this is not the point. Li Miaozhen stared at Zhao Jin and said in a deep voice: "Who are
you?"
"My real na is Zhao Jin, and I am a ranger in Chuzhou." Zhao Jin said.
Li Miaozhen nodded slightly, as if she had the ability to distinguish whether he was lying in
the dream, and then asked:
"Who is your master? How do you know that the King of Zhenbei slaughtered the people? As far as I know, except for the barbarians, no one in Chuzhou seems to know about this."
Her implication is that you, a ranger in the rivers and lakes, can't know the inside story.
"My master, he....."
......
After several days of secret investigation and visits, Captain Chen had no choice but to return to the post station, saying that he did not get any valuable clues.
Liu Yushi pondered and said, "I think we can find a breakthrough from Zheng Xinghuai, the
governor of Chuzhou. This person has always had a very good reputation and is deeply loved by the people in Chuzhou. He is a rare good minister.
"If he knew about this, he would never conceal it. Perhaps, he was threatened by the King of
Zhenbei and the commander-in-chief. Why don't we go to him to test his mouth, appeal to his emotions, and explain it to him with reason."
Yang Yan looked at the Dali Temple Secretary and another censor. Seeing that the two did not object, he thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to the governor's office." Imdiately, he took Liu Yushi, who was friends with Zheng Xinghuai, and rode horses to the
governor's office.
After the communication, Zheng Xinghuai t the two in the inner hall.
Upon learning the purpose of the two people's visit, the rigid and serious Zheng Xinghuai
frowned and asked, "You two, I have a question to ask you."
Liu Yushi smiled and said, "Please speak. "
Zheng Xinghuai glanced at Yang Yan and Liu Yushi, and said: "The so-called bloodbath of
three thousand miles is just because of a few words revealed by the residual soul of a corpse.
Based on this, we want to investigate the King of Huai. Don't you think it's too rash,
gentlen?"
Liu Yushi frowned and said: "You an..."
Zheng Buzhengshi smiled, "I handle the affairs of Chuzhou. I know clearly where there is
unrest and where there are barbarians looting. If such a thing really happens, believe , the King of Huai can't stop the gossip. Liu Yushi should understand the reason."
Even the emperor can't stop the mouths of his ministers, let alone the King of Zhenbei.
Liu Yushi stopped talking, frowned and sat there, lost in thought.
At this ti, Yang Yan said lightly: "If so, why prevent the delegation from handling the case?
Zheng Buzhengshi smiled: "After all, the Huai Wang is a prince. The court sent an envoy to
investigate him. In the eyes of the soldiers, this is a false accusation. They are indignant for the Huai Wang, which is also human nature.
"What's more, the Huai Wang is in charge of the north and holds military power. I don't know
how many people in the court want to reduce his military power. The experience of the envoy
in Chuzhou City is just a stress response of the Huai Wang family."
Liu Yushi and Yang Yan looked at each other and stood up to say goodbye. Riding on horseback, walking side by side on the road, Liu Yushi turned his head and looked at Yang Yan, saying: "Yang Jinluo thinks, does what Lord Zheng said make sense?"
"I don't know!"
Yang Yan's answer was straightforward. He worked so hard these days just to find clues for Xu
Qian'an, so that the envoys would not find any clues after the two sides t. Too embarrassing.
But he was not good at investigating cases, he just felt that this case was inexplicable and
complicated.
........
"My master is the only survivor. He escaped from the butcher knife of the Huai King and has been on the run since then."
Zhao Jin had just finished speaking when he was interrupted by Li Miaozhen coldly: "The Huai King is a third-rank warrior. Who is your master to have escaped from his butcher knife? In addition, since you have been lurking beside for a long ti, why have you never shown up
until today?"
"It's a long story."
"Tell first, who is your master." Li Miaozhen frowned.
"My master is Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Chuzhou." Zhao Jin said in a deep voice.
