Chapter 360: Chapter 360 Xu Qian'an's assassination plan

Chapter 360: Chapter 360 Xu Qian'an's assassination planA month ago... Sanhuang County is located on the edge of Chuzhou. The inspection is so strict. Who are they looking for, or who are they besieging?

These days, I have been going deep into the mountains and forests, and I didn't notice whether there are checkpoints on the official road.

No matter who they are looking for, it is definitely not me... Am I thinking too much? I can't rule out the possibility of adding me to the "blacklist" in the near future.

Anyway, looking for one person is looking for two people.

Xu Qian'an tapped the table with his fingers, analyzing and setting short-term goals:

"Let's go to Xikou County tomorrow. If there is really a problem there, it is very likely that it is the scene of the bloody massacre of three thousand miles. In this way, there may be danger. Should I take the princess with me?

"Well, when we are close to Xikou County, we can put her in a safe inn nearby. If the princess is used well, she may save my life. We can't lose her."

Seeing Xu Qian'an mumbling in silence, Cai'er sat aside obediently without saying a word. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Xu Qian'an finally recovered from his meditation and ordered: "Help me make a pot of tea."

Cai'er was delighted and responded happily, which meant that Xu Yinluo would stay here tonight.

Sure enough, after she made tea, she heard Xu Yinluo order again: "Change the sheets and quilts."

Cai'er was so excited that her whole body was weak, and her hands and feet quickly changed the sheets and quilts.

After drinking a pot of tea, it was late at night. Xu Qian'an soaked his feet with Cai'er's service, then lay on the bed and stretched comfortably.

Recently, I have been staying in the wilderness for consecutive nights, and my sleeping experience is very poor. I haven't enjoyed a soft bed for a long time.

"Master Xu, I will serve you. "Cai'er sat on the edge of the bed in great joy, taking off her clothes while talking.

"Cai'er," Xu Qi'an looked at her while lying on the bed, and suddenly said: "Do you feel that your bed is too soft and uncomfortable to sleep on?"

"What Lord Xu said makes sense. I heard that sleeping on a hard bed is better for the body. If the bed is too soft, people will get tired easily." Cai'er smiled, thinking that Lord Xu was indeed a romantic man, and he was discussing the bed with others.

Xu Qi'an nodded, and said seriously: "So for your health, you sleep on my bed tonight." Cai'er: "???"

The next day, at dawn, Xu Qiyan finished washing up and left Yayinlou in Cai'er's resentful eyes.

It was late spring now, the weather was warm, and even a little hot at noon, otherwise you could see the clients shivering in the cold wind.

Xu Qiyan walked leisurely along the street towards the inn.

Suddenly, a line of armored soldiers appeared in front of him, led by a man in a black robe and a mask instead of an armored general.

His eyes stayed on the black-robed man for only a few seconds, and Xu Qiyan moved his eyes away calmly, passing by him.

"Wait a minute!"

The voice of the black-robed man came from behind, as well as the sound of reining in his horse.

So sharp? Xu Qiyan turned around, his face naturally with a bit of vigilance and respect, and bowed, "Sir, are you calling me?"

The black-robed man turned his horse's head, looked down at Xu Qi'an, and asked: "Where are you from? Do you have a pass?"

"Yes."

Xu Qi'an repeated his fake identity.

The black-robed man asked again: "Have you practiced martial arts?"

Xu Qi'an lowered his eyebrows and replied: "I have a talent for martial arts. I have reached the peak of refining essence at the age of 19. It's just that it's really difficult to practice Qi. In addition, women are attractive, and it's the age to get married, so..."

He appropriately showed a little pride, but also regret.

The black-robed man looked at his face for a moment, said nothing, turned his horse's head, and continued to move forward with the army.

"Hu..."

Looking at the back of the army going farther and farther, Xu Qi'an felt relieved and retracted the power of "Heaven and Earth Slash", which could make his breath collapse and shrink inward.

"Hehe, how does the saying go, there are only useless people, but no useless skills. I have perfectly solved the weakness of warriors who are not good at hiding their own weaknesses. The shortcoming is that they are ready to go, but in the end they can't go out, which is particularly uncomfortable......"

All men understand this kind of discomfort.

"This guy is dressed strangely, he should be the spy of the King of Zhenbei as the information says? The spy of the King of Zhenbei appeared in Sanhuang County, huh..."

They are really looking for someone, maybe they are looking for me, maybe they are looking for someone else.

In fact, the night watchman is also a spy, he is the spy of Emperor Yuan Jing, so the night watchman has a system and eats the court salary. The spy of the King of Zhenbei is the

"private soldier" of the King of Zhenbei.

They are nothing outside the northern border. But here, even if they are imperial envoys of the court, they have to give in.

Because they only represent the King of Zhenbei.

"As the confidant of the King of Zhenbei, he must know a lot of inside information. Why should I guess it by myself? This case is different from the Yunzhou case and the Sangpo case. There is no need to unravel the mystery. There is a clear goal: to find out the truth of the

bloodbath.

"Such a large-scale killing cannot be concealed, which means that I don't have to find clues bit by bit like in previous cases. Just catch him and torture him. If the other party is a bad guy, then kill the soul-calling......"

Returning to the inn where they stayed, the early guests were already eating breakfast in the lobby on the first floor, and the guests who didn't want to go downstairs asked the waiter to deliver the breakfast to the room.

This naturally does not include the cowardly princess. Before Xu Qi'an came back, she would not take the initiative to let any man into the room, nor would she go out.

After so many days of getting along, Xu Qi'an can confirm this.

She is a very insecure woman, probably caused by the experience in the first half of her life.

Xu Qi'an asked the waiter to deliver the breakfast upstairs in a quarter of an hour, and then went up the stairs to the door of the princess's room. His ear moved and caught the slight breathing sound in the room.

Still sleeping... He placed his palm against the door, used his Qi to operate the bolt, and opened the door.

On the bed, the princess lay on her side, sleeping in a dignified posture with a calm face.

At this time, she had a bit of the appearance of a princess.

Xu Qian'an opened the window to let fresh air flow into the room. He sat in front of the

dressing table and reviewed the case in his mind.

[Blood Slaughter Three Thousand Miles Case]

Location: Xikou County (suspected).

Murderer: Unknown.

Purpose: Unknown.

[Princess Attack Case]

Location: On the way north.

Murderer: Northern Barbarians, Northern Demons.

Purpose: To prevent the King of Zhenbei from being promoted to the second rank, and to

covet the princess' body (spiritual essence).

"At present, there is no substantial connection between the two cases. Maybe the barbarians

knew that the King of Zhenbei was going to be promoted to the second rank, so they took the opportunity to harass and attract attention, so that the King of Zhenbei dared not leave Chuzhou at will, and then secretly sent people to ambush and take away the princess. "The King of Zhenbei is the general of Chuzhou, holding the military power of the entire Chuzhou, and he cannot return to the capital without being summoned. However, Emperor Yuan Jing seems to agree with the promotion of his brother from the same mother to the second rank, so it is not difficult to summon him back to the capital. So the motive of the barbarians to invade the border can be explained.

"The bloody massacre of three thousand miles was also committed at this time? However, the four fourth-rank masters and the tribal leaders did not know about it. What's more interesting is that Chu Xianglong, the deputy general, did not know about it either.

"Well, it is not ruled out that a strong man of the Manchu tribe did it, but it was not leaked. The mysterious sorcerer was also involved. What is he planning?"

Just as he was thinking, he saw the princess rubbing her eyes and sitting up through the

bronze mirror.

"Awake?" Xu Qian'an smiled.

The princess yawned, ignored him, took the toiletries, squatted by the bed to wash her face

and brush her teeth.

After washing, she said with disgust: "It smells so bad, the whole body smells of powder,

some people, sooner or later, die on a woman's belly."

You look like a resentful wife who can't control her husband who goes out to whore... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart. Of course, this was just his inner complaint.

The princess definitely doesn't care whether he goes out to whore or not. What she cares about is that he left her to fool around last night, leaving her alone in the inn and worried for a

long time.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Xu Qi'an suggested: "In an hour, we will set off and head west to Xikou County."

"You're not going to do it?" The princess was surprised.

"Everything was done in the brothel. "Xu Qi'an showed an improper smile.

The night watchman's hidden man is a secret and cannot be disclosed. Even if it is a harmless

princess, Xu Qi'an cannot tell her. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the hidden man. However, it is precisely because the princess is harmless that she is not afraid to reveal these small details. I think with the princess's shallow mind, she can't understand it.

Pah... The princess blushed and spat.

......

Beijing, Jiaofangsi.

Fuxiang got up lazily, washed and changed clothes with the help of the maid, and after

dressing in front of the mirror, she suddenly pressed her chest and frowned.

The next moment, her face returned to normal, and she said softly: "You go out first, I want to

sleep for a while."

The maid was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything and left the room obediently. After the people walked away, Fuxiang took out a fox head incense burner from under the bed,

a black incense, she cut a strand of hair short and wrapped it around the black incense, then lit the incense and inserted it into the incense burner.

Fuxiang respectfully placed the incense burner on the table, knelt on her knees, and muttered

to herself.

The black incense burned out at a very fast speed, and the ashes fell lightly on the table, confidently gathering to form a line of short small characters:

The matter in the northern border is over, and you are allowed to return to your clan.

Looking at this line of words, Fuxiang's face was inexplicably excited, with a kind of joy that the hard days were over. But in her eyes, there was a trace of attachment and reluctance.

......

Chuzhou City.

After three days of traveling, the delegation arrived in Chuzhou City under the escort of 500

troops sent by the King of Zhenbei.

In the thirteen continents of Dafeng, the core state capital is usually located in the center of

the region, but Chuzhou is different. It is close to the border and faces the barbarians and monsters in the north.

People in the northern border often say that it is because the King of Zhenbei is in charge of Chuzhou City that it can stand firm for decades in the invasion of northern barbarians. Historically, Chuzhou City has been broken twice, and there have been two bloody massacres.

But in the generation of the King of Zhenbei, the weather near Chuzhou City is good, and the barbarian cavalry dare not harass the area within a hundred miles of Chuzhou City, because the most elite troops in the north are stationed in this area.

The Dali Temple Secretary lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the towering and

tall city walls. The walls were engraved with complex and ancient strange array patterns, covering every corner of the city walls.

On the parapet, there were cannons, bed crossbows and other powerful magic weapons developed by the Sitianjian. "The Dafeng Geography-Chuzhou Chronicle says that the walls of Chuzhou City are engraved with array formations, and the walls are strong enough to resist attacks from third-rank

masters. Seeing is believing." Dali Temple Secretary said with emotion.

The main cities on the border of Dafeng are all engraved with similar array formations to

strengthen defense. Every hundred years, the Sitianjian will summon all sorcerers to repair and supplement the array formations.

"With the King of Zhenbei in charge, Chuzhou City is as solid as a rock." Liu Yushi echoed.

When the delegation arrived at the city gate, they saw that more than a dozen officials had been waiting for a long time. The leader was a man wearing a scarlet robe, with a long beard

down to his chest, a thin face, and a scholar's elegance and the sharpness of a frontier official. Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Jiangzhou.

"Sir Zheng, it has been three years since we left the capital. "Liu Yushi came forward with a

big laugh, and he seemed to be quite familiar with Zheng Xinghuai. Zheng, the governor, nodded slightly, and squeezed a little smile on his serious face. After a

few greetings, he led everyone to the largest post station in Chuzhou.

After settling down, Yang Yan and others sat in the hall with Zheng, the governor, to talk

about things.

"Sir Zheng, your majesty and the gentlemen heard about the "bloody massacre of three

thousand miles" in Chuzhou, and were shocked and angry. They sent us to investigate the matter. I hope you can help me." Liu Yushi bowed.

Zheng Xinghuai, who had already known about this, nodded slightly and asked, "How do you

want me to help you?"

Yang Yan said directly, "I need the records of the Chuzhou border army leaving the camp, as well as the official documents of the government offices in various places in Chuzhou." Zheng, the governor, did not answer, but looked around at everyone and said casually, "I heard that the chief officer Xu Yinluo returned to Beijing due to injury?"

Liu Yushi sighed, "We encountered an ambush on the way..." Zheng Buzheng frowned and said in a businesslike tone:

"Without the chief official, this power to act at his own convenience... Of course, I can show

you the official documents of the various government offices, but I am afraid that only the chief official has the power to inquire about the records of the frontier troops leaving the

camp. I will report to the King of Huai, but I cannot guarantee that the King of Huai will be accommodating."

Liu Yushi and others were not angry, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Zheng, thank you, Lord Zheng."

After the talk, Zheng, the governor, said goodbye and left on the grounds of being busy with official duties.

The Dali Temple Secretary looked at Liu Yushi and shook his head: "It's a pity that the two

censors are still censors. If they were governors, tut tut..."

When the censor was in the capital, he was a censor. Once he was ordered to inspect the local

area, he would be a governor.

The governor's power was so great that he directly suppressed the three highest leaders, the

commander-in-chief, the governor, and the judicial inspector.

But it was precisely because of the great power of the governor that Xu Qian'an was appointed

as the chief official. Emperor Yuan Jing's attitude was very clear that the delegation could not be allowed to check and balance the King of Huai. Yang Yan said lightly: "How is this Zheng, the governor, as an official?"

Liu Yushi hurriedly said: "I have some friendship with him. This person is an honest official

with an excellent reputation. "

......

Sanhuang County.

Outside the city, in the shed beside the official road, the plain-looking princess and the

handsome Xu Qian'an sat at the table, drinking low-quality tea.

This place is not far from the city gate. A pot of tea costs two cents, which is very cheap. In

addition, the location is well chosen, under a big banyan tree, and the wind blows, it is cool and comfortable. Along the way, people entering or leaving the city stop here to drink tea. Xu Qian'an held the teacup and thought about his "interception" plan.

If you want to get information from the spy of the King of Zhenbei, you must not stay in the

city. Not only will it affect innocent people, but you can also be killed.

The best way is to wait for the other party to leave the city.

Since it is to find someone, you will definitely not stay in a small county for too long. There

are countless counties in the northern border, and it is impossible to have people in every city

and town.

Therefore, the spies must be mobile.

He just needs to wait and see.

At this time, he discovered that several men next door were behaving strangely.
