Taiping Inn

Gu Fengxian started to move the flowing beads again and said softly: "What the Assistant Lord said is reasonable. Only by bringing this person's head back to the imperial capital can we report to several governors. But then again, Lord Qian is also a good player. It is known as a copper arm and iron arm, and his horizontal practice is incomprehensible to swords and guns. He is only one step away from the body of the small Vajra in the innate realm. This person can kill Lord Qian. I think he should be a master in the Xuanyuan realm and want to kill him. , I'm afraid it's not an easy thing."

Bai Chouqiu nodded and said, "Mr. Gu said it is reasonable. Killing people is never a simple matter. So this time I summon you here just to discuss countermeasures together to see how to kill this person."

The store owner who has not spoken carefully said, "Forgive the public to be too talkative. Lord Gu and Lord Bai are both masters of Xuanyuan Realm. They have no reason to defeat each other. How to find this person at the moment? It has passed now. After half a month, the man probably had left Huainan Mansion."

Bai Chouqiu said, "It's not that I'm afraid, but certain. Since that man took Zhou Tingchao's daughter, it means that he was not here to kill people, but to save people, so he will definitely leave Huainan as soon as possible. He then left Luzhou. After that, he had four choices, going north to Qingzhou, east to Chuzhou, south to Jingzhou, west to Zhongzhou."

Gu Fengxian thought for a moment and said, "If he wants to go to Jingzhou, he can save people in the Jiangnan area. There is no need to wait until he crosses the river and arrives at Luzhou before taking action, so it is unlikely to be Jingzhou. Secondly, Qingzhou is already very close to the imperial capital, as the saying goes The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Zhou Tingchao's family is waiting for the imperial prisoners. The farther away from the imperial capital, the better. In addition, the assistant minister has just arrived from the imperial capital, so it is unlikely that it is Qingzhou. In this way, only Chu will be left. The two directions of state and Zhongzhou.”

Bai Chouqiu said, "Mr. Gu said it is right. The greatest possibility of this person's escape is Chuzhou and Zhongzhou. Chuzhou is in the sea. If he goes to Chuzhou, he will make up his mind to take a boat to sea. In this way, the sea will be broad. With the fish leaping, the sky is high and the birds fly, even if we are the Qingluan Guards, we can't do anything to them. But this is meaningless and it doesn't make sense, because it is inevitable that we are willing to spend so much effort to save Zhou Tingchao's family. He is a person in the court, not an overseas person. Looking at the huge temple, besides His Highness King of Jin and the people of the six sects, who will do this and who is doing this? In fact, we all know it well, Zhou Tingchao He is a student of Sun Song Chan Sun Ge Lao, and only Sun Ge Lao would do this. But no matter how well Sun Ge Lao is, he is limited to the two capitals and 19 states of our Great Wei."

"Yeah." Gu Fengxian, who was thinking, responded casually, suddenly realized his disobedience, coughed, and corrected his expression, "Mr. Bai is inciting himself into the inside, what he said is very true."

Zhao Lian, who had been silent, felt a little awe-inspiring at this time. The reason why Qingluanwei stood tall for two hundred years without falling is that it is unique and outstanding. Now it is just because of some clues. A rough idea was inferred.

Bai Chouqiu tapped the table with his finger and said, "In this way, there is only the road to Zhongzhou. We just need to send people to block all the important roads from Luzhou to Zhongzhou, and then slowly catch turtles in the jar."

The three of them stood up at the same time and said, "But as the Lord's order."

The old man said, "You go and mobilize the Qingluan Guards of Huainan Prefecture and Fengyin Prefecture. I will go to the Governor's Office and ask the Governor of Jingchu to mobilize troops."

After saying that, the old man stretched out his index finger with his right hand, gently wiped it, and put a little light on the oil lamp on the table on his fingertips, then gently shook his hand and shook the lights into sparks.

The spark points are connected into a line, and then the lines are connected to each other from beginning to end, turning into a rectangular portal.

The old man stood up and walked into the door, as if he had passed through an invisible boundary, rippling layers of water lines, which were fleeting.

The next moment, the old man appeared directly at a large square ping, with four acres in square, which implied that "the court led the four directions." In the middle of the big ping, there is a three-meter-long flagpole with a bucket. It is facing the two huge stone lions on both sides of the gate and the stone steps. It shows its majesty with its vastness. It follows the two eight-character walls on both sides of the stone lion on both sides of the gate. It has the Governor's logo. The personal soldiers of the camp lined up against the wall, making them amazing.

The old man slowly stepped forward, took out a dark token from his sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "Bai Chouqiu, the deputy governor of Qingluan Guard, is in accordance with the order of the governor, and asks to see the governor."

After the old man revealed his identity, someone immediately led him through the hall and walked through the corridor to the front hall of the Governor's Office. Not long after, a middle-aged man in a vermilion official uniform quickly walked into it with his head on his face The winged black gauze is embroidered with a leopard pattern on the official uniform.

According to the customization of the Great Wei Dynasty, the first-rank military officer embroidered the unicorn, the second-rank military officer embroidered the lion, the third-rank leopard, the fourth-rank tiger, and the fifth-rank bear. From this point of view, the person coming was actually a third-rank military officer.

After the visitor crossed the threshold, Bai Chouqiu had already stood up and bowed and said, "Zhang Ma, the commander of the Luzhou Metropolitan Commander, has met Lord Bai. The Governor is not in the Governor's Office now. I hope Lord Bai will forgive me."

Although both of them are third-rank officials, according to the unwritten rules, the Beijing officials are at the top of the Beijing level, and the Qingluan Guard is at the top of the Qingluan Guard. Bai Chouqiu is both the Beijing official who leaves the Beijing level and the Qingluan Guard. Therefore, Zhang There is nothing wrong with claiming to be a subordinate official.

After the two of them exchanged polite greetings, Bai Chouqiu said straight to the point: "Mr. Zhang, you must have known about the prison robbery that happened in Luzhou not long ago. This time I left the capital, I came specifically for this matter."

Zhang Ma asked, "The officials have heard of it, but they have not received the official documents from Qingluanwei yet, so they do not know the details."

Bai Chouqiu said, "I might as well say clearly that this matter involves the case of Zhou Tingchao's memorial to defile the holy name of the Empress Dowager. It is of great importance. The court has issued an order to block the border of Luzhou, and even a fly cannot be released. .”

Zhang Ma hesitated and said, "Can Lord Bai show the imperial decree?"

Bai Chouqiu said softly: "I don't have the order now, but I have the command of the governor. Do you want to see it?"

The commander in charge of the military power of a state was silent.

Bai Chouqiu said slowly: "The Great Wei Dynasty is the Great Wei Dynasty of Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager, not the Great Wei Dynasty of the Governor. If the Empress Dowager has no order, the Governor will not ask us to do this. If Lord Zhang still has any objections , I will write to the Governor now. At worst, I will ask the Governor to invite the Empress Dowager and personally give another decree to Lord Zhang."

Speaking of this, Bai Chouqiu paused for a moment and said in a cold tone: "But if the major affairs of the court are delayed and the imperial offender is let go, and the family is confiscated and the clan is exterminated, I hope Lord Zhang will not regret it!"

Zhang Ma smiled bitterly, knowing that it was impossible to shirk it again at this time, so he could only respond to the order: "Since the court has the will, the subordinates should do it as they please."

On the other hand, Gu Fengxian took out a firework from his sleeve, came outside the store, pulled the rope at the bottom of the fireworks, and a firework meteor suddenly rushed straight into the sky. After a moment, a lifelike green phoenix exploded from the slightly dim sky. Dots.

This is a unique convening message for Qingluanwei, which can only be used by Qingluanwei high-ranking officials above the third rank.

After half a stick of incense, several people in blue clothes came here and saluted Gu Fengxian and said, "I'm here to greet the commander!"

After Gu Fengxian nodded slightly, he took out a dark black iron token from his sleeve and said in a deep voice: "The Governor's Office secretly ordered to mobilize all Qingluan Guards in Luzhou to chase and kill the rebels. This battle is of great importance, if anyone If you are afraid of the enemy, or if you escape at the battle, no matter what position you hold, you will be punished without mercy. All your property will be confiscated and confiscated into the national treasury, your wife and daughter will be charged into the Jiaofangsi, and your brothers and nephews will be charged into the northwest border."

Several Qingluan Guard commanders were moved and showed a look of horror.

Gu Fengxian showed a smile on his face and changed his subject, "The reason why the punishment is so severe is that this matter involves a major problem and cannot tolerate any mistakes. In fact, it is not difficult to do it. It is just a master of Xuanyuan Realm. We It’s not that Qingluan Guard has never been killed, so it’s impossible to die. Besides, this matter is planned by the assistant minister himself. As long as there is no mistake or omission, a great achievement cannot be eliminated. At that time, the achievement and promotion will be at your fingertips."

The commander of Zhu Qingluan Guards responded in a deep voice.

Gu Fengxian nodded and said, "Of course, in addition to being appointed as an official, there is also another reward for money. Anyone who captures the head of a thief alive will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver, and those who take their heads will be rewarded with five thousand taels of silver. If they find their traces, they may be Help kill the clawers and reward 500 taels of silver."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Everything is fake, and the money is real. Even in their position, it will take several years to make enough money, and there are many risks. Maybe one day you will be caught, not only will you lose your official position, but you will also eat a lot. They have to vomit out, but there is no problem with the reward, so they can be assured to take it.

Gu Fengxian slowed down his tone and said, "Anyway, we work together and don't let the assistant minister down."
