There were already many pedestrians coming and going between Yique, and now there was another bloody case. The soldiers had not cleaned up yet. The audience around him was already blocked and heard the passionate talks of the young men. Everyone shouted loudly. Many people slashed the ground with machetes, lamenting that the loyalty of these knights was only one scholar said: The most heroes are the ones who are the country and the people, and they kill people at any time. How can they be called a virtuous?
When the young men heard this, they said angrily: Hero Guo is righteous and wealthy, and is anxious about what others are anxious about, to solve their worries and problems, and to ignore his chivalrous spirit. He is unparalleled in the world! Where can the corrupt scholars come from, they dare to criticize Hero Guo!
The scribe did not give in at all. Guo Jie was just a cheerful hero. After all, he was just a good reputation.
The young men were angry and nonsense! Guo Daxia was a hero and righteous man, and never made people know that the recipients were grateful for Guo Daxia's favor. Only when they were promoted, they were the golfers. They had the chance to serve Guo Daxia by chance, and never left their name like you corrupt scholars seeking fame!
Wen Shi said: The hero violated the ban with martial arts, and Guo Daxia is an example to teach you, the vengeful young men, who will kill people in anger, where is the law of setting up the king?
The soldiers guarding were alarmed by the quarrel between the two sides, and the young men came back and turned over and shouted to the scholar: "Corrupt Confucianism! Do you dare to leave your name!"
The scholar said loudly: Zheng Ziqing, Hejian! This time I came to Beijing to study at Yuntai Academy. If you have any advice, Zheng should wait!
The boy stared at him angrily, then whistled and left the pass
Cheng Zongyang looked at the scholar curiously. This kid really had some courage. He dared to argue with a group of passionate rangers and boys in the street to replace himself with this Confucian scholar. He really didn't dare to stand up. It was not that he could not beat him, but that was really impossible.
He just briefly reviewed the biography of the heroes of Taishigong. He vaguely remembered that Guo Jie's fate was the destruction of genocide, but he had no impression of why he was destruction of genocide. If history had not been distorted, after being ordered to migrate, Guo Jie's life had begun to count down. Although he was curious about this hero who was included in the official history and famous for his eternal history, it was obviously not wise enough to establish a relationship when he was dying.
First, go to Pengyi Society. Cheng Zongyang found the address he recorded and took a look. In Tongshang, it is located in the northwest of Luodu, close to the west city. It said that Xicheng is the largest in the nine cities in Luodu. It seems that the place is good.
Old Man Zhu happily watched the fun, but didn't say anything sour. He was walking in front of him with his hands on his back. When he passed by the tea shop, he suddenly stopped and his hunched back was slightly straight.
A thin man was sitting in a tea shop drinking tea. He lowered his head and ignored the old man Zhu's eyes. He had not moved the fingers of the tea and drank a bowl of tea. He slowly put down the tea bowl, counted out copper baht one by one, placed it on the table, then stood up and slowly raised his face.
The man was extremely tall, and Cheng Zongyang felt that he was even taller than himself. His face was surprisingly pale. He could almost see the thin blood vessels under his skin. His hair was pale, but he couldn't tell how old he was. It was possible from thirty to forty to fifty or sixty, or even bigger.
He looked at Old Man Zhu, and the pair of sharp hooks that seemed to be hidden in the seemingly ordinary eyes. When he swept his eyes, Cheng Zongyang, the bystander, felt that his eyes were stabbed. He couldn't help but close his eyes and looked again, the man had left the tea shop, leaving only a figure gradually moving away
Cheng Zongyang's heart hopped a few times. The man was not fast and was inconspicuous among the pedestrians. But in the blink of an eye, he had already walked more than ten steps away. After blinking his eyes, he disappeared, just like he was a ghost in broad daylight.
Old man Zhu said: Xiao Chengzi, you can go to the city by yourself for a few days, I'll go find you
Oh, Cheng Zongyang didn't ask a word, he was about to leave with his horse
Zi Yatou goes with me
What! Cheng Zongyang was so angry that he heard this. Damn girl is my man! Why should I follow you?
Old Man Zhu said in a deep voice: This is the matter of our Black Demon Sea.
Come on! Who begs me for help? Now I remember that I am an outsider? Or the dead girl will follow me, or I will go with you and want to take the dead girl away? No way! Cheng Zongyang is not polite at all. You, an old guy, take my woman to take risks, why should Ah!
After the sacrifice, there is a big competition. According to the rules, before the big competition, no party will take action. This time, it is just a meeting with the people of the Wu Sect.
I will go to meet you! What can the little kung fu do with the dead girl? When you knelt down and begged me, didn’t you just want me to come forward to fight them?
Old Man Zhu said: Who knelt down and begged you?
Let’s not talk about those details! Tell me! Is the deceased girl or me the one who came out of your competition? I will tell you first that it will definitely not work if you let the deceased girl come out!
Old Man Zhu blinked and said: Then what did you ask me to say?
Cheng Touer, the competition between the sect is not something that two people went up to fight. Xiao Zi said: When we meet them this time, we must decide how to choose the Marquis of Destiny. The Great Sacrifice of the Marquis of Destiny will be next month. Even if there is danger, it will be a month later.
It's all old Huangsheng. Don't forget that Wu Zong has been destroyed once. Those who follow the rules are almost dead. What if they don't abide by the rules? Cheng Zongyang lowered his voice and said: I'm afraid they will come to the dark world.
Xiao Chengzi, you look down on the old man Ah Old Man Zhu shouted: What kind of Yin Yang, Wen Wu, you are not afraid of anything you play with. You just look down on me, and you can't look down on the Zi Yatou Ah
Why do you have such a long ear? Let's talk to you and eavesdrop!
Old man Zhu turned his face with a look of shame, Cheng Zongyang held Xiao Zi's hand, and could only express his anxiety with his eyes. You know, the disciple chosen by the old man was originally the Ghost Witch King, and Xiao Zi was not even worthy of Make up the numbers. Even if the old man had no choice, he had to change his mind, he was still full of worry.
Don't worry, Xiao Zi chuckled and said: People will take back Taiyi Jing and solve the trouble in your stomach
What is Taiyi Jing? Even a single hair of your hair is not as good as!
After all, Cheng Zongyang only said one thing, I'll go with you
Xiao Zi raised the corners of her lips, Black Demon Sea is mine, you can't let you interfere
Cheng Zongyang really wants to say that you don’t think about dowry. I just want you to be fine, but finally I didn’t say it out loud. Maybe outsiders only see how domineering and cruel Xiao Zi is, but I know how delicate and sensitive she is. In her heart, she can’t have a grain of sand.
Cheng Zongyang was silent for a moment, it was too dangerous if you only had two of you
Shi Jingtang is already here, and the Poison Sect is not in the Han Dynasty, but there is no connection at all. If we just look at the number of people, maybe we have more than the Wu Sect.
Since the old man dares to come, he must have some confidence, but what Cheng Zongyang is worried about is that the old man is too unreliable. The old man is not bad to Xiao Zi, but his style of doing things is full of imagination, mindlessness, and an unusual and unliterary temperament. It is really unreliable.
After a long time, Cheng Zongyang said: Be careful of Jian Yuji
I know, Xiao Zi blinked her eyes, Cheng Touer, you think about her all day long, and wait until the competition is over, can you call her to warm your bed?
What a joke? That bitch is cold from the inside out and warms the bed. Cheng Zongyang hugged Xiao Zixiang's soft body tightly and said in her ear: Don't think too simple about your opponent. If there is danger, I would rather kill the wrong one and not let it go
When he asked such a good person like him to say such decisive words, Xiao Zi's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and then she wrinkled her nose. What people want to say is what you said first. She stuck out her tongue, licked Cheng Zongyang's ears gently, and said in a soft voice that was almost melting: Cheng Touer, wait for him to come back, can you play the flute?
Death girl!
Cheng Zongyang really wanted to raise his face to increase his persuasion, but when he heard this, even in his anxiety, he couldn't help but smile and let Xiao Zi roll his eyes.
…………………………
You can see the majestic palace of Luodu in Yique. This imperial capital of the Six Dynasties seemed to be close to you. In fact, there were still more than 40 miles apart. Cheng Zongyang did not arrive at Luodu until the afternoon.
Luodu is located in the north and adjacent to Luoshui. The original city was nine miles long from north to south and six miles wide from east to west. It was called Jiuliucheng. But now the city has expanded several times. The previous Jiuliucheng became an inner city. The Ma City and Nan City, which were originally located outside the city, were included in the outer land, becoming part of the urban area, and the entire city was also pulled into a square shape.
The walls of the outer city of Luodu are six feet high. There is a viewing building built every 100 steps on the city. Outside the wall is the vast outer land of Luoshui. There is an inner city with a wall. Further inside, the palace city is different from the capitals of the other five dynasties. There are two palace cities in Luodu, one from the north and south, respectively, called the Nangong and Beigong palaces. There are more than ten tall buildings over ten feet, and the highest one is even more than twenty feet. The scale beyond imagination makes Cheng Zongyang, a time traveler who has seen various skyscrapers in the future world, couldn't help but be amazed. No wonder you can see it forty miles away.
Cheng Zongyang passed through the Jinyang Bridge on the Luo River, and entered the city from the Tianjing in the southwest corner as the capital of the Han Dynasty. The imperial capital was famous in the Six Dynasties. The prosperity and the Wu capital of Luodu were different from the clouds. At least there was no thatched mud house in the city. The three or two-story houses on both sides of the road were similar to Wu. The city was also divided into lifangs by the streets. The whole city was bathed in the light orange afterglow, as gorgeous as if it was dreamy.
The Tongshang Academy where Pengyi Society is located is located in the northwest of Luodu, with more than a dozen miles away from the city gate, Cheng Zongyang investigated all the way, and finally found Pengyi Society in the evening.
When Xiao Zi left, she did not bring Jingli and Poppy Girl. Cheng Zongyang was not good at taking them to Pengyi Club. She first placed them in the adjacent western city, and then visited them.
The business of Pengyi Society in Han Dynasty was just opened, and the shop was not big, with only a few people in the club. However, because it was a carriage and horse carriage, the courtyard inside was extremely spacious, enough to accommodate dozens of carriage and horse branches. Jiang Anshi was a man over 40 years old. He was originally in the direct camp of Boss Meng. As the oldest group of soldiers in Xingyue Lake Camp, Jiang Anshi had already married and had children. After the Battle of Jiangzhou, he was sent to Luodu to be responsible for the operation of Pengyi Society.
Jiang Anshi touched his heel and raised his hand to salute, Colonel Cheng!
Cheng Zongyang, who came directly, was a little surprised. Do you recognize me?
Jiang Anshi smiled and said: I have heard from my brothers in the camp for a long time, but I didn't expect Colonel Cheng to come so quickly
Did Chen Qiao say it? His news is quite fast
Jiang Anshisu Rong said: There are seven people in the Luodu Branch of Pengyi Society, four people outside, and three people in the society. According to Colonel Meng's order, from today on, they will follow Colonel Cheng's command.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: The fourth brother and fifth brother have not been promoted yet, so why have I become a colonel?
Jiang Anshidao: Colonel Cheng may not know that last month, the adaptation of Xingyue Lake Camp had been completed. The newly formed Xingyue Lake Camp had three regiments in total. Nine battalions, Colonel Cheng was the leader of the first regiment, and the battalion commanders of the three battalions under the jurisdiction: Du Yuansheng, Zang Xiu and Wu Sangui were all promoted to majors, so the commander Cheng and the commander Hou were promoted to colonel.
Xingyue Lake Camp was reorganized, Cheng Zongyang took over Xie Yi and Xiao Yaoyi's old subordinates, and built his own direct battalion Simingxin. Lu Jing and Meng Feiqing's direct battalion were merged into the third regiment, with Meng Feiqing as the regiment commander, but the three of them handed over the team to Yue Shuang and let her take over the army Simingxin and Lu Jingteng rushed to Luodu. In fact, they retired in disguise and escaped from military affairs. As a hidden chess hidden behind the scenes, the strongest combat effectiveness of Xingyue Lake Camp is Hou Xuan's second regiment. Cui Mao and Wang Tao are both in charge of the army and want to fight. Cheng Zongyang estimated that his first regiment and Yue Yatou's third regiment could not defeat the second regiment.
It is reasonable to win the battle of Jiangzhou, Du Yuansheng and Zang Xiu were promoted to major, and it is surprising that Wu Sangui also became an official. I don’t know if it was because of his own face or because Wu Sangui did have this ability. But no matter what, after the rank of Xingyue Lake Camp was stagnant for more than ten years, it was a rare joy to be promoted in full due to military achievements.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Brother Hou has finally been promoted and fought another battle, so it is time to be promoted to a general.
Cheng Zongyang asked about the situation in the club a few times, and then said: Before coming to Han Kingdom, I heard that something happened in Luo was there, and the fourth brother came here to deal with it. Is he not here now?
Lieutenant Colonel Si and Lieutenant Colonel Lu settled in Lejinli and usually met in Xicheng City.
Cheng Zongyang understood that Pengyi Society was doing legitimate business on the surface, while Si Mingxin and Lu Jing had other identities as killers. Their contacts were very cautious in their daily contact. After all, Yueniaoren's reputation was stinking in the wind and ten miles was there, so they could not help but be careful.
I'm not at risk of coming to the door like this, right?
Jiang Anshidao: It doesn’t matter that the business of our Pengyi Society is somewhat similar to that of the escort agency. There are all kinds of customers we usually come and go. The neighbors are not surprised that Colonel Cheng is here now, and it is not considered out of line.
That's good. Cheng Zongyang said: What's going on in Luodu now?
Jiang Anshi shook his head. Mr. Yan has no news yet. Lieutenant Colonel Si has been pursuing him, but Mr. Yan disappeared out of thin air, leaving no clues.
As early as Lin'an, Kuang Zhongyu revealed some inside information. Later, Lu Jing escorted Yue Shuang to Lin'an and told him the whole story.
Before the Fengbo Pavilion, Yue Pengju sent someone to Luodu to deliver a batch of items. The recipient was Yan Junping, the mountain director of Shishi Academy, as agreed, the academy would report safety once a month, indicating that the batch of items was safe and sound until the message appeared. Sunrise in the east, which means that the batch of items will be returned to the people of Xingyue Lake. However, at the beginning of this year, the message from the academy was suddenly interrupted.
At that time, the Battle of Jiangzhou was not over, and the heroes of Xingyue Lake had no time to find out after the war, according to Cheng Zongyang's suggestion of planning the Six Dynasties, Pengyi Society officially opened a branch in Luodu, and sent Jiang Anshi to Luo. At the same time, Si Mingxin came. While secretly helping Pengyi Society stabilize its footsteps, he found Yan Junping's whereabouts of Lin'an. Lu Jing also went north together.
Cheng Zongyang originally thought that Huan Ju and Yun Jing were in charge of the eight horses, so what would he not be able to get it? But now it seems that it is not going well.
Cheng Zongyang had no idea about the so-called treasure. It was not that he was not greedy for the treasure. It was because Yue Niaoren's style was really unsatisfactory. He could definitely do such things as bricks in the box as posing as treasures. As someone who is more familiar with Yue Pengju than himself, Meng Feiqing obviously had no hope for it. What he cared about was Yan Junping's whereabouts and the possible enemies of Xingyue Lake Camp.
After the disbandment of Xingyue Lake Camp, the heroes hid in various places in the Six Dynasties for more than ten years. As soon as the battle of Jiangzhou showed its edge, Yan Junping from Luodu lost contact. This is by no means a coincidence. It is obvious that someone has been staring at Xingyue Lake Camp.
If we don’t find out this person, find out his origin and what are his plans, we can’t sleep or eat in Jiangzhou. Meng Feiqing said this in the water mirror.
Cheng Zongyang is very self-aware. It is hard to deal with things that Si Mingxin and Lu Jing can't handle, but he can only get it done. Therefore, he doesn't care too much about this matter. When he comes to Luodu, he really cares about Xiao Zi. Even the old man's affairs are all accompaniment. But unexpectedly, he was dumped as soon as he arrived in Luodu. Now he is facing a situation where there is nothing to do and ignores it. It's unreasonable.
Cheng Zongyang asked about the contact information and then quietly left Pengyi Club
…………………………
Lejinli and the business community are separated by the West Market. It is a famous place of music and dogs and horses. It is the time when guests are full of guests. There are cars and horses in front of several luxuriously decorated pavilions, which are crowded with people. The sound of silk and bamboo is constantly coming with the laughter of the guests and the host.
Cheng Zongyang did not stop, and walked around the back alley. There was another scene in front of him. A few weeping willows on the side of the alley were green like silk. Under the willow was a well. The stone well railing was extremely smooth. There were several deep marks of the rope on it. A woman shook the wheel, drew a bucket of water, and then poured it into the clay pot at her feet.
A few wisps of smoke rose from behind the house. A maid came out with a bucket and poured the wastewater into the water hole in the middle of the road. The sound of water sounded in the ceramic pipes, gradually disappearing. Several boys rode on bamboo horses, waved their small wooden knives, simulated the golfers in the city, and played in the alleys.
Several families lay straw mats on the side of the alley, put on tableware such as steamers and cauldrons, and their families took their seats to eat. When strangers passed by, they were often invited to enter the table. They thanked the host and ate loudly as if no one was there. The hospitable host did not think it was strange at all, but frequently held a cup to persuade them to drink.
The sound of curfew chuckling sounded, and the gate of the Lifang was squeaking and dumb. The head of the inner court took a few mates and walked in the house to see if there were any offenders. Then he drew a few strokes on the wooden slips and went home in peacetime. These were just mere formalities.
Cheng Zongyang walked around the side alley and found a house with a wooden sign hanging from Yangquan Baoshi in front of the door. He pushed the door open and entered.
Lu Jing squatted in front of the steps, with two broken bowls in front of him. On the one hand, Gabeng Gabeng chewed fried soybeans and sipped wine. When he saw Cheng Zongyang, he rolled his eyes and pushed the bowl.
Cheng Zongyang sat on the ground and copied a bean. I thought you would live in a remote place in the city, with no one leading the way, and I couldn't even find the door. I didn't expect that even the sign was hung out.
Where to take business if you live in a bird place?
Yangquan Baoshi... Who made this up?
The sign that the fourth brother picked up on the roadside these years ago was so good that he used outside. Lu Jing took a sip of wine and pushed the bowl to him. Where is Miss Zi?
Cheng Zongyang took a bite and did something with the old man
Have you slept?
Puff... Cheng Zongyang squirted out a sip of wine and gasped: No
waste!
Hello, Brother Fifth, you should be considered your brother-in-law? Is there anyone like you?
Lu Jing rolled his eyes, "Woman, I'm going to bed early, I'll be at peace after giving birth to a baby."
Cheng Zongyang whispered: Are you talking about someone else? Let Xiao Zi have a baby...it's terrifying to think about it. If you have another dead girl, how many people will it harm?
Cheng Zongyang looked around and said to him, where is the fourth brother?
It takes seven or eight days to come back
What life?
Business Lu Jingdao: Do you don’t spend money on your life?
After the disbandment of Xingyue Lake Camp, the heroes disappeared from the market and made their own way to make a living. However, those disabled and retired soldiers and the families of the comrades who died in the war have always been so burdened by the camp. Boss Meng has lived a tight life these years, which is better after he gained a foothold in Jiangzhou.
Lu Jing's ears suddenly moved, and a moment later, Cheng Zongyang also heard footsteps. Is someone coming to the door?
Lu Jing clapped his hands, business
…………………………
An oil lamp was lit in the house, and most of Lu Jing's face was hidden in the darkness, with only a vague figure revealed.
On the straw mat opposite, a middle-aged man was wearing a lollipop and a white-washed blue dress, which looked no different from the common people everywhere in the street market.
My surname is Tang, and I do some small business in the capital. The man said politely: When I was in Qingzhou, I heard from my friends about Yangquan's sacred reputation. I have something to do today, and I want to entrust my friends.
Lu Jing said coldly: Say
There was a Shangtang on the way to Hangu Pass in the west of the city. Three days ago, a friend passed by the local area. He heard a few high-profile comments on the wall. He didn't take it seriously at that time. He only realized that he had missed a friend with a foreigner. He was entrusted by his friend. He wanted to ask the gentleman to find this person.
Where to serve the soup?
A hotel
Is that man a man or a woman?
Don't know
Is it the soup man or the passerby? Are you coming to Luodu or leaving Luodu?
Don't know
What is that man’s theory?
The middle-aged man named Tang said cautiously: Thank you, sir, it is really hard to tell me.
Lu Jing's voice has not changed at all, so what are you asking me to look for?
My friend heard it by chance. Because the voice was too blurry, it was difficult to identify it. Now I just want to ask the gentleman to find out who was in the inn and what their identities were. Where are they now stopping? My friend will visit him one by one. The man added, "You must find them all."
When I went to the inn, I asked why I had to come here?
The middle-aged man named Tang smiled bitterly and said: Mr. I don’t know which inn caught fire yesterday and was burned clean. The owner of the inn was also buried in the fire scene.
Lu Jing was silent for a moment. He knew nothing about age, identity, origin, man or woman. He only knew that he had stayed in a burnt inn three days ago. Did you ask me to find all these people?
The middle-aged man named Tang said: I know that this matter is indeed difficult, but this matter is very important. My friend has to find that expert no matter what. I don’t know where to start and hear that Yangquan Fushi is so incapable of others, so I ask for help.
Cheng Zongyang sat behind the screen, and the more he heard, the more strange he passed by an inn in another place. When he heard someone talking inside, he suddenly remembered to go back to search for it a few days later. As a result, the inn had been burned to white, so he had no clue at all. Looking for a hairy one?
Lu Jing opened his mouth coldly. If he wanted that person's life, the price started at a price of one thousand gold baht
The middle-aged man named Tang hurriedly said: It was not a murderer, but I just wanted to ask the gentleman to find the guest who stayed in the inn that night. What is his name? Where is he now? If possible, please don't disturb him. As long as you know the name, my friend will visit him, so as not to be rude.
Shangtang is a must-pass place to go to Hangu Pass. There are thousands of travelers passing by on weekdays. Even if it is just an ordinary store, there are dozens of people entering and leaving every day.
The gentleman only needs to find the guest who stayed in the store between the 9th day of August and the next day of Yin. The middle-aged man named Tang said: No matter whether he was the paradise or not, as long as he was a customer in the store at that time, I would be willing to pay 300 gold baht for every time I found someone.
Cheng Zongyang was a little moved when he heard this. Three hundred gold baht Ah, and the average person's annual income is only about ten gold baht. What does it mean to have three hundred gold baht? But then he thought about it, this task was impossible to complete, and even if he gave ten thousand gold baht, it would be useless.
Lu Jing's voice without any emotion sounded, five hundred
But the middle-aged man surnamed Tang agreed, but it was limited to more than ten days. Every time he found someone, he would only get three hundred gold coins for one month and he would not need to look for him again.
Pay 60% first
The middle-aged man named Tang took out three volumes of sealed gold slag, each volume of 100. There is another thing to tell the sir. If you don't tell me, you must not tell me about this matter. Beside you and me, you must not know about it.
Lu Jing suddenly said: Aren’t you afraid that I would take the gold baht and fly away?
Do not use suspicion, use people... The man paused for a moment, and naturally he would not have suspicion. He said and emphasized: Please ask the sir to find all of them, no one will be missed.
The two sides agreed to pass the message, and the middle-aged man named Tang said goodbye and left
When the young men heard this, they said angrily: Hero Guo is righteous and wealthy, and is anxious about what others are anxious about, to solve their worries and problems, and to ignore his chivalrous spirit. He is unparalleled in the world! Where can the corrupt scholars come from, they dare to criticize Hero Guo!
The scribe did not give in at all. Guo Jie was just a cheerful hero. After all, he was just a good reputation.
The young men were angry and nonsense! Guo Daxia was a hero and righteous man, and never made people know that the recipients were grateful for Guo Daxia's favor. Only when they were promoted, they were the golfers. They had the chance to serve Guo Daxia by chance, and never left their name like you corrupt scholars seeking fame!
Wen Shi said: The hero violated the ban with martial arts, and Guo Daxia is an example to teach you, the vengeful young men, who will kill people in anger, where is the law of setting up the king?
The soldiers guarding were alarmed by the quarrel between the two sides, and the young men came back and turned over and shouted to the scholar: "Corrupt Confucianism! Do you dare to leave your name!"
The scholar said loudly: Zheng Ziqing, Hejian! This time I came to Beijing to study at Yuntai Academy. If you have any advice, Zheng should wait!
The boy stared at him angrily, then whistled and left the pass
Cheng Zongyang looked at the scholar curiously. This kid really had some courage. He dared to argue with a group of passionate rangers and boys in the street to replace himself with this Confucian scholar. He really didn't dare to stand up. It was not that he could not beat him, but that was really impossible.
He just briefly reviewed the biography of the heroes of Taishigong. He vaguely remembered that Guo Jie's fate was the destruction of genocide, but he had no impression of why he was destruction of genocide. If history had not been distorted, after being ordered to migrate, Guo Jie's life had begun to count down. Although he was curious about this hero who was included in the official history and famous for his eternal history, it was obviously not wise enough to establish a relationship when he was dying.
First, go to Pengyi Society. Cheng Zongyang found the address he recorded and took a look. In Tongshang, it is located in the northwest of Luodu, close to the west city. It said that Xicheng is the largest in the nine cities in Luodu. It seems that the place is good.
Old Man Zhu happily watched the fun, but didn't say anything sour. He was walking in front of him with his hands on his back. When he passed by the tea shop, he suddenly stopped and his hunched back was slightly straight.
A thin man was sitting in a tea shop drinking tea. He lowered his head and ignored the old man Zhu's eyes. He had not moved the fingers of the tea and drank a bowl of tea. He slowly put down the tea bowl, counted out copper baht one by one, placed it on the table, then stood up and slowly raised his face.
The man was extremely tall, and Cheng Zongyang felt that he was even taller than himself. His face was surprisingly pale. He could almost see the thin blood vessels under his skin. His hair was pale, but he couldn't tell how old he was. It was possible from thirty to forty to fifty or sixty, or even bigger.
He looked at Old Man Zhu, and the pair of sharp hooks that seemed to be hidden in the seemingly ordinary eyes. When he swept his eyes, Cheng Zongyang, the bystander, felt that his eyes were stabbed. He couldn't help but close his eyes and looked again, the man had left the tea shop, leaving only a figure gradually moving away
Cheng Zongyang's heart hopped a few times. The man was not fast and was inconspicuous among the pedestrians. But in the blink of an eye, he had already walked more than ten steps away. After blinking his eyes, he disappeared, just like he was a ghost in broad daylight.
Old man Zhu said: Xiao Chengzi, you can go to the city by yourself for a few days, I'll go find you
Oh, Cheng Zongyang didn't ask a word, he was about to leave with his horse
Zi Yatou goes with me
What! Cheng Zongyang was so angry that he heard this. Damn girl is my man! Why should I follow you?
Old Man Zhu said in a deep voice: This is the matter of our Black Demon Sea.
Come on! Who begs me for help? Now I remember that I am an outsider? Or the dead girl will follow me, or I will go with you and want to take the dead girl away? No way! Cheng Zongyang is not polite at all. You, an old guy, take my woman to take risks, why should Ah!
After the sacrifice, there is a big competition. According to the rules, before the big competition, no party will take action. This time, it is just a meeting with the people of the Wu Sect.
I will go to meet you! What can the little kung fu do with the dead girl? When you knelt down and begged me, didn’t you just want me to come forward to fight them?
Old Man Zhu said: Who knelt down and begged you?
Let’s not talk about those details! Tell me! Is the deceased girl or me the one who came out of your competition? I will tell you first that it will definitely not work if you let the deceased girl come out!
Old Man Zhu blinked and said: Then what did you ask me to say?
Cheng Touer, the competition between the sect is not something that two people went up to fight. Xiao Zi said: When we meet them this time, we must decide how to choose the Marquis of Destiny. The Great Sacrifice of the Marquis of Destiny will be next month. Even if there is danger, it will be a month later.
It's all old Huangsheng. Don't forget that Wu Zong has been destroyed once. Those who follow the rules are almost dead. What if they don't abide by the rules? Cheng Zongyang lowered his voice and said: I'm afraid they will come to the dark world.
Xiao Chengzi, you look down on the old man Ah Old Man Zhu shouted: What kind of Yin Yang, Wen Wu, you are not afraid of anything you play with. You just look down on me, and you can't look down on the Zi Yatou Ah
Why do you have such a long ear? Let's talk to you and eavesdrop!
Old man Zhu turned his face with a look of shame, Cheng Zongyang held Xiao Zi's hand, and could only express his anxiety with his eyes. You know, the disciple chosen by the old man was originally the Ghost Witch King, and Xiao Zi was not even worthy of Make up the numbers. Even if the old man had no choice, he had to change his mind, he was still full of worry.
Don't worry, Xiao Zi chuckled and said: People will take back Taiyi Jing and solve the trouble in your stomach
What is Taiyi Jing? Even a single hair of your hair is not as good as!
After all, Cheng Zongyang only said one thing, I'll go with you
Xiao Zi raised the corners of her lips, Black Demon Sea is mine, you can't let you interfere
Cheng Zongyang really wants to say that you don’t think about dowry. I just want you to be fine, but finally I didn’t say it out loud. Maybe outsiders only see how domineering and cruel Xiao Zi is, but I know how delicate and sensitive she is. In her heart, she can’t have a grain of sand.
Cheng Zongyang was silent for a moment, it was too dangerous if you only had two of you
Shi Jingtang is already here, and the Poison Sect is not in the Han Dynasty, but there is no connection at all. If we just look at the number of people, maybe we have more than the Wu Sect.
Since the old man dares to come, he must have some confidence, but what Cheng Zongyang is worried about is that the old man is too unreliable. The old man is not bad to Xiao Zi, but his style of doing things is full of imagination, mindlessness, and an unusual and unliterary temperament. It is really unreliable.
After a long time, Cheng Zongyang said: Be careful of Jian Yuji
I know, Xiao Zi blinked her eyes, Cheng Touer, you think about her all day long, and wait until the competition is over, can you call her to warm your bed?
What a joke? That bitch is cold from the inside out and warms the bed. Cheng Zongyang hugged Xiao Zixiang's soft body tightly and said in her ear: Don't think too simple about your opponent. If there is danger, I would rather kill the wrong one and not let it go
When he asked such a good person like him to say such decisive words, Xiao Zi's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and then she wrinkled her nose. What people want to say is what you said first. She stuck out her tongue, licked Cheng Zongyang's ears gently, and said in a soft voice that was almost melting: Cheng Touer, wait for him to come back, can you play the flute?
Death girl!
Cheng Zongyang really wanted to raise his face to increase his persuasion, but when he heard this, even in his anxiety, he couldn't help but smile and let Xiao Zi roll his eyes.
…………………………
You can see the majestic palace of Luodu in Yique. This imperial capital of the Six Dynasties seemed to be close to you. In fact, there were still more than 40 miles apart. Cheng Zongyang did not arrive at Luodu until the afternoon.
Luodu is located in the north and adjacent to Luoshui. The original city was nine miles long from north to south and six miles wide from east to west. It was called Jiuliucheng. But now the city has expanded several times. The previous Jiuliucheng became an inner city. The Ma City and Nan City, which were originally located outside the city, were included in the outer land, becoming part of the urban area, and the entire city was also pulled into a square shape.
The walls of the outer city of Luodu are six feet high. There is a viewing building built every 100 steps on the city. Outside the wall is the vast outer land of Luoshui. There is an inner city with a wall. Further inside, the palace city is different from the capitals of the other five dynasties. There are two palace cities in Luodu, one from the north and south, respectively, called the Nangong and Beigong palaces. There are more than ten tall buildings over ten feet, and the highest one is even more than twenty feet. The scale beyond imagination makes Cheng Zongyang, a time traveler who has seen various skyscrapers in the future world, couldn't help but be amazed. No wonder you can see it forty miles away.
Cheng Zongyang passed through the Jinyang Bridge on the Luo River, and entered the city from the Tianjing in the southwest corner as the capital of the Han Dynasty. The imperial capital was famous in the Six Dynasties. The prosperity and the Wu capital of Luodu were different from the clouds. At least there was no thatched mud house in the city. The three or two-story houses on both sides of the road were similar to Wu. The city was also divided into lifangs by the streets. The whole city was bathed in the light orange afterglow, as gorgeous as if it was dreamy.
The Tongshang Academy where Pengyi Society is located is located in the northwest of Luodu, with more than a dozen miles away from the city gate, Cheng Zongyang investigated all the way, and finally found Pengyi Society in the evening.
When Xiao Zi left, she did not bring Jingli and Poppy Girl. Cheng Zongyang was not good at taking them to Pengyi Club. She first placed them in the adjacent western city, and then visited them.
The business of Pengyi Society in Han Dynasty was just opened, and the shop was not big, with only a few people in the club. However, because it was a carriage and horse carriage, the courtyard inside was extremely spacious, enough to accommodate dozens of carriage and horse branches. Jiang Anshi was a man over 40 years old. He was originally in the direct camp of Boss Meng. As the oldest group of soldiers in Xingyue Lake Camp, Jiang Anshi had already married and had children. After the Battle of Jiangzhou, he was sent to Luodu to be responsible for the operation of Pengyi Society.
Jiang Anshi touched his heel and raised his hand to salute, Colonel Cheng!
Cheng Zongyang, who came directly, was a little surprised. Do you recognize me?
Jiang Anshi smiled and said: I have heard from my brothers in the camp for a long time, but I didn't expect Colonel Cheng to come so quickly
Did Chen Qiao say it? His news is quite fast
Jiang Anshisu Rong said: There are seven people in the Luodu Branch of Pengyi Society, four people outside, and three people in the society. According to Colonel Meng's order, from today on, they will follow Colonel Cheng's command.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: The fourth brother and fifth brother have not been promoted yet, so why have I become a colonel?
Jiang Anshidao: Colonel Cheng may not know that last month, the adaptation of Xingyue Lake Camp had been completed. The newly formed Xingyue Lake Camp had three regiments in total. Nine battalions, Colonel Cheng was the leader of the first regiment, and the battalion commanders of the three battalions under the jurisdiction: Du Yuansheng, Zang Xiu and Wu Sangui were all promoted to majors, so the commander Cheng and the commander Hou were promoted to colonel.
Xingyue Lake Camp was reorganized, Cheng Zongyang took over Xie Yi and Xiao Yaoyi's old subordinates, and built his own direct battalion Simingxin. Lu Jing and Meng Feiqing's direct battalion were merged into the third regiment, with Meng Feiqing as the regiment commander, but the three of them handed over the team to Yue Shuang and let her take over the army Simingxin and Lu Jingteng rushed to Luodu. In fact, they retired in disguise and escaped from military affairs. As a hidden chess hidden behind the scenes, the strongest combat effectiveness of Xingyue Lake Camp is Hou Xuan's second regiment. Cui Mao and Wang Tao are both in charge of the army and want to fight. Cheng Zongyang estimated that his first regiment and Yue Yatou's third regiment could not defeat the second regiment.
It is reasonable to win the battle of Jiangzhou, Du Yuansheng and Zang Xiu were promoted to major, and it is surprising that Wu Sangui also became an official. I don’t know if it was because of his own face or because Wu Sangui did have this ability. But no matter what, after the rank of Xingyue Lake Camp was stagnant for more than ten years, it was a rare joy to be promoted in full due to military achievements.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Brother Hou has finally been promoted and fought another battle, so it is time to be promoted to a general.
Cheng Zongyang asked about the situation in the club a few times, and then said: Before coming to Han Kingdom, I heard that something happened in Luo was there, and the fourth brother came here to deal with it. Is he not here now?
Lieutenant Colonel Si and Lieutenant Colonel Lu settled in Lejinli and usually met in Xicheng City.
Cheng Zongyang understood that Pengyi Society was doing legitimate business on the surface, while Si Mingxin and Lu Jing had other identities as killers. Their contacts were very cautious in their daily contact. After all, Yueniaoren's reputation was stinking in the wind and ten miles was there, so they could not help but be careful.
I'm not at risk of coming to the door like this, right?
Jiang Anshidao: It doesn’t matter that the business of our Pengyi Society is somewhat similar to that of the escort agency. There are all kinds of customers we usually come and go. The neighbors are not surprised that Colonel Cheng is here now, and it is not considered out of line.
That's good. Cheng Zongyang said: What's going on in Luodu now?
Jiang Anshi shook his head. Mr. Yan has no news yet. Lieutenant Colonel Si has been pursuing him, but Mr. Yan disappeared out of thin air, leaving no clues.
As early as Lin'an, Kuang Zhongyu revealed some inside information. Later, Lu Jing escorted Yue Shuang to Lin'an and told him the whole story.
Before the Fengbo Pavilion, Yue Pengju sent someone to Luodu to deliver a batch of items. The recipient was Yan Junping, the mountain director of Shishi Academy, as agreed, the academy would report safety once a month, indicating that the batch of items was safe and sound until the message appeared. Sunrise in the east, which means that the batch of items will be returned to the people of Xingyue Lake. However, at the beginning of this year, the message from the academy was suddenly interrupted.
At that time, the Battle of Jiangzhou was not over, and the heroes of Xingyue Lake had no time to find out after the war, according to Cheng Zongyang's suggestion of planning the Six Dynasties, Pengyi Society officially opened a branch in Luodu, and sent Jiang Anshi to Luo. At the same time, Si Mingxin came. While secretly helping Pengyi Society stabilize its footsteps, he found Yan Junping's whereabouts of Lin'an. Lu Jing also went north together.
Cheng Zongyang originally thought that Huan Ju and Yun Jing were in charge of the eight horses, so what would he not be able to get it? But now it seems that it is not going well.
Cheng Zongyang had no idea about the so-called treasure. It was not that he was not greedy for the treasure. It was because Yue Niaoren's style was really unsatisfactory. He could definitely do such things as bricks in the box as posing as treasures. As someone who is more familiar with Yue Pengju than himself, Meng Feiqing obviously had no hope for it. What he cared about was Yan Junping's whereabouts and the possible enemies of Xingyue Lake Camp.
After the disbandment of Xingyue Lake Camp, the heroes hid in various places in the Six Dynasties for more than ten years. As soon as the battle of Jiangzhou showed its edge, Yan Junping from Luodu lost contact. This is by no means a coincidence. It is obvious that someone has been staring at Xingyue Lake Camp.
If we don’t find out this person, find out his origin and what are his plans, we can’t sleep or eat in Jiangzhou. Meng Feiqing said this in the water mirror.
Cheng Zongyang is very self-aware. It is hard to deal with things that Si Mingxin and Lu Jing can't handle, but he can only get it done. Therefore, he doesn't care too much about this matter. When he comes to Luodu, he really cares about Xiao Zi. Even the old man's affairs are all accompaniment. But unexpectedly, he was dumped as soon as he arrived in Luodu. Now he is facing a situation where there is nothing to do and ignores it. It's unreasonable.
Cheng Zongyang asked about the contact information and then quietly left Pengyi Club
…………………………
Lejinli and the business community are separated by the West Market. It is a famous place of music and dogs and horses. It is the time when guests are full of guests. There are cars and horses in front of several luxuriously decorated pavilions, which are crowded with people. The sound of silk and bamboo is constantly coming with the laughter of the guests and the host.
Cheng Zongyang did not stop, and walked around the back alley. There was another scene in front of him. A few weeping willows on the side of the alley were green like silk. Under the willow was a well. The stone well railing was extremely smooth. There were several deep marks of the rope on it. A woman shook the wheel, drew a bucket of water, and then poured it into the clay pot at her feet.
A few wisps of smoke rose from behind the house. A maid came out with a bucket and poured the wastewater into the water hole in the middle of the road. The sound of water sounded in the ceramic pipes, gradually disappearing. Several boys rode on bamboo horses, waved their small wooden knives, simulated the golfers in the city, and played in the alleys.
Several families lay straw mats on the side of the alley, put on tableware such as steamers and cauldrons, and their families took their seats to eat. When strangers passed by, they were often invited to enter the table. They thanked the host and ate loudly as if no one was there. The hospitable host did not think it was strange at all, but frequently held a cup to persuade them to drink.
The sound of curfew chuckling sounded, and the gate of the Lifang was squeaking and dumb. The head of the inner court took a few mates and walked in the house to see if there were any offenders. Then he drew a few strokes on the wooden slips and went home in peacetime. These were just mere formalities.
Cheng Zongyang walked around the side alley and found a house with a wooden sign hanging from Yangquan Baoshi in front of the door. He pushed the door open and entered.
Lu Jing squatted in front of the steps, with two broken bowls in front of him. On the one hand, Gabeng Gabeng chewed fried soybeans and sipped wine. When he saw Cheng Zongyang, he rolled his eyes and pushed the bowl.
Cheng Zongyang sat on the ground and copied a bean. I thought you would live in a remote place in the city, with no one leading the way, and I couldn't even find the door. I didn't expect that even the sign was hung out.
Where to take business if you live in a bird place?
Yangquan Baoshi... Who made this up?
The sign that the fourth brother picked up on the roadside these years ago was so good that he used outside. Lu Jing took a sip of wine and pushed the bowl to him. Where is Miss Zi?
Cheng Zongyang took a bite and did something with the old man
Have you slept?
Puff... Cheng Zongyang squirted out a sip of wine and gasped: No
waste!
Hello, Brother Fifth, you should be considered your brother-in-law? Is there anyone like you?
Lu Jing rolled his eyes, "Woman, I'm going to bed early, I'll be at peace after giving birth to a baby."
Cheng Zongyang whispered: Are you talking about someone else? Let Xiao Zi have a baby...it's terrifying to think about it. If you have another dead girl, how many people will it harm?
Cheng Zongyang looked around and said to him, where is the fourth brother?
It takes seven or eight days to come back
What life?
Business Lu Jingdao: Do you don’t spend money on your life?
After the disbandment of Xingyue Lake Camp, the heroes disappeared from the market and made their own way to make a living. However, those disabled and retired soldiers and the families of the comrades who died in the war have always been so burdened by the camp. Boss Meng has lived a tight life these years, which is better after he gained a foothold in Jiangzhou.
Lu Jing's ears suddenly moved, and a moment later, Cheng Zongyang also heard footsteps. Is someone coming to the door?
Lu Jing clapped his hands, business
…………………………
An oil lamp was lit in the house, and most of Lu Jing's face was hidden in the darkness, with only a vague figure revealed.
On the straw mat opposite, a middle-aged man was wearing a lollipop and a white-washed blue dress, which looked no different from the common people everywhere in the street market.
My surname is Tang, and I do some small business in the capital. The man said politely: When I was in Qingzhou, I heard from my friends about Yangquan's sacred reputation. I have something to do today, and I want to entrust my friends.
Lu Jing said coldly: Say
There was a Shangtang on the way to Hangu Pass in the west of the city. Three days ago, a friend passed by the local area. He heard a few high-profile comments on the wall. He didn't take it seriously at that time. He only realized that he had missed a friend with a foreigner. He was entrusted by his friend. He wanted to ask the gentleman to find this person.
Where to serve the soup?
A hotel
Is that man a man or a woman?
Don't know
Is it the soup man or the passerby? Are you coming to Luodu or leaving Luodu?
Don't know
What is that man’s theory?
The middle-aged man named Tang said cautiously: Thank you, sir, it is really hard to tell me.
Lu Jing's voice has not changed at all, so what are you asking me to look for?
My friend heard it by chance. Because the voice was too blurry, it was difficult to identify it. Now I just want to ask the gentleman to find out who was in the inn and what their identities were. Where are they now stopping? My friend will visit him one by one. The man added, "You must find them all."
When I went to the inn, I asked why I had to come here?
The middle-aged man named Tang smiled bitterly and said: Mr. I don’t know which inn caught fire yesterday and was burned clean. The owner of the inn was also buried in the fire scene.
Lu Jing was silent for a moment. He knew nothing about age, identity, origin, man or woman. He only knew that he had stayed in a burnt inn three days ago. Did you ask me to find all these people?
The middle-aged man named Tang said: I know that this matter is indeed difficult, but this matter is very important. My friend has to find that expert no matter what. I don’t know where to start and hear that Yangquan Fushi is so incapable of others, so I ask for help.
Cheng Zongyang sat behind the screen, and the more he heard, the more strange he passed by an inn in another place. When he heard someone talking inside, he suddenly remembered to go back to search for it a few days later. As a result, the inn had been burned to white, so he had no clue at all. Looking for a hairy one?
Lu Jing opened his mouth coldly. If he wanted that person's life, the price started at a price of one thousand gold baht
The middle-aged man named Tang hurriedly said: It was not a murderer, but I just wanted to ask the gentleman to find the guest who stayed in the inn that night. What is his name? Where is he now? If possible, please don't disturb him. As long as you know the name, my friend will visit him, so as not to be rude.
Shangtang is a must-pass place to go to Hangu Pass. There are thousands of travelers passing by on weekdays. Even if it is just an ordinary store, there are dozens of people entering and leaving every day.
The gentleman only needs to find the guest who stayed in the store between the 9th day of August and the next day of Yin. The middle-aged man named Tang said: No matter whether he was the paradise or not, as long as he was a customer in the store at that time, I would be willing to pay 300 gold baht for every time I found someone.
Cheng Zongyang was a little moved when he heard this. Three hundred gold baht Ah, and the average person's annual income is only about ten gold baht. What does it mean to have three hundred gold baht? But then he thought about it, this task was impossible to complete, and even if he gave ten thousand gold baht, it would be useless.
Lu Jing's voice without any emotion sounded, five hundred
But the middle-aged man surnamed Tang agreed, but it was limited to more than ten days. Every time he found someone, he would only get three hundred gold coins for one month and he would not need to look for him again.
Pay 60% first
The middle-aged man named Tang took out three volumes of sealed gold slag, each volume of 100. There is another thing to tell the sir. If you don't tell me, you must not tell me about this matter. Beside you and me, you must not know about it.
Lu Jing suddenly said: Aren’t you afraid that I would take the gold baht and fly away?
Do not use suspicion, use people... The man paused for a moment, and naturally he would not have suspicion. He said and emphasized: Please ask the sir to find all of them, no one will be missed.
The two sides agreed to pass the message, and the middle-aged man named Tang said goodbye and left
