Chapter 665: Complicated 1

The convoy was full of armed Jianghu people. They had spontaneously organized and followed after hearing the name of the flying Sparrow.

This was the third time they went out to hunt barbarian cavalry. Thanks to the peerless skills of the swordswoman in the swallow, they returned with a full load. They killed 120 barbarian cavalry, captured 50 warhorses, 68 scimitars, and took back the women and food that the Barbarian cavalry had robbed.

Warhorses, scimitars, women, and food suffered varying degrees of damage and death in the battle.

The soldiers at the city gate squinted their eyes and saw the heroic lady in the swallow on the White Horse. They immediately showed their respect and called the guards at the top of the city wall, holding Spears to welcome her.

“Flying Sparrow, you’re back? Aiyo, you’ve killed so many barbarians again this time.”

“Quick, escort the swordswoman of the flying Sparrow to the Yamen to receive her reward, ”

The city guards were pleasantly surprised. They felt that the flying Swallow swordswoman was the symbol of a hero in the martial world and a great figure worth following.

Two rows of soldiers led the way and escorted li Miaozhen and her group into the city. When the people in the city saw the swordswoman on the White Horse and the barbarian’s body, they warmly welcomed her.

He shouted the name of the flying Sparrow.

The Jianghu men behind li Miaozhen straightened their chests and felt honored.

About ten days ago, the swordswoman in the swallow suddenly came to the North Mountain County. In the name of helping the heavens, she severely punished a group of unscrupulous merchants who raised the price of grain. She robbed hundreds of dan of grain and distributed it to the poor and beggars.

The profiteer had the support of the big shots in the government, so of course, he wouldn’t give up, so he sent troops to capture him. However, they were all beaten back by the flying Sparrow.

The common people didn’t know what happened after that. However, after that incident, the swordswoman of the flying Swallow roped in a group of Jianghu people in the North Mountain County to hunt barbarian cavalry.

Then, they would go to the government to receive a reward and Exchange the reward for food. They would build a porridge stall outside the city and give it to the refugees and beggars who could not afford to eat.

For a time, the good deeds of the flying Sparrow swordswoman were widely spread among the people, and they talked about it with relish.

There were even refugees from other counties who walked dozens of miles and crossed mountains to wait for the porridge to be given out.

After the charity, li Miaozhen returned to the inn and took a bath with SuSu’s help to wash away the smell of blood.

She sat at the table and muttered to herself.

That day, li Miaozhen followed Xu Qi ‘an’s advice and made a high-profile appearance. She was a chivalrous person everywhere and now had a small reputation in the northern region.

Due to the limited time, it was impossible for his name to spread throughout Yunzhou like it did in the past.

After a whole ten days, countless people from the martial world had sought her help. Some did it for reputation, some for profit, and some simply wanted to resist the Barbarian race.

Li Miaozhen used the heavenly sect heart technique to do a simple elimination, eliminating those with bad intentions. Those who remained were mostly heroes of the pugilistic world who sought fame and fortune for the people.

In her opinion, as long as she was willing to do good, she was willing to do it for fame and fortune.

However, the person li Miaozhen was really waiting for didn’t come.

“Master, did that kid make any new progress? Isn’t he a God in solving cases? I’m afraid he’s at his wit’s end.” Su Su held the tea and placed it on the table. Seeing her master’s brows tightly locked and her mind exhausted, SuSu’s heart ached.

“This matter isn’t that simple.” Li Miaozhen had already learned the truth of the ” bloody massacre ” case from Xu Qi ‘an through the earth Book.

I’ve been thinking about it for the past few days. If a massacre really happened in Chuzhou City, even if the government wanted to hide it, the people of the martial arts world and the common people would not be able to shut their mouths.

“But no matter how I asked, no one knows.” Li Miaozhen frowned.

Susu tilted her head, her devastatingly beautiful face revealed a rare look of contemplation. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes lit up and she said happily, “”1 thought of it, I thought of it.”

“What do you know?” li Miaozhen remained skeptical.

Su SU’s slender fingers twirled a strand of her hair and she blinked playfully. She giggled and said, ‘

“Think about it, if a bloody massacre really happened, but no one knew about it, could it be that the person involved had his memory erased? Just like how I can’t remember how my father was convicted and sentenced to beheading.” Li Miaozhen scoffed,”with such a large-scale massacre, even if the memory is erased, there will be traces that can’t be erased.” How could the Barbarian Scouts not find out? You’re really …”

She was suddenly stunned. Her eyes slowly went blank, and her entire person was stunned.

“Master, what did you think of?” Su Su asked.

Li Miaozhen suddenly came back to her senses and said, but your thoughts might be a clue. If such a big thing really happened, and you can hide it from everyone … “Which system? which rank-I powerhouse can do it?”

First of all, she excluded the martial artists. This was something that did not need to be considered.

Then, two words appeared in her mind:A Warlock!

Xu Qi. an had once said that high -level warlocks could hide from the heavenly secrets, hide from certain people or certain things, and turn themselves invisible … Li Miaozhen only felt that her brain was electrified.

His train of thought suddenly became clear.

In today’s nine regions, she could only think of one person who had such ability: Supervisor.

Li Miaozhen trembled because of this guess.

Calm down. calm down. Xu Qi. an had said that we should first make. bold assumption, then carefully verify it … “Before I have any evidence to prove it, everything is just my speculation and not the truth Li Miaozhen took a deep breath and was about to take out the fragment of the book of the nether world to tell Xu Qi ‘an about her bold idea.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” li Miaozhen said lightly.

As he spoke, the little ghost standing behind the door opened the door and invited the guest in.

The visitor was a middle-aged man. He was one of the Jianghu men who sought refuge with li Miaozhen. He was a Chu Zhou local called Zhao Jin. His cultivation level was not bad. Every time he killed a barbarian, he would take the lead.

Not for fame and fortune, just because he was from Chuzhou, he wanted to expel the barbarians and benefit the people of Chuzhou.

Li Miaozhen, who was wearing regular clothes, was serious and calm like a soldier,”Brother Zhao, why are you looking for me?”

Zhao Jin laughed heartily. we’ve returned with a bountiful harvest this time. The rice we’ve exchanged for is enough for the refugees outside the city to eat congee for three days. We’re all very happy and want to find a restaurant to celebrate.

As he spoke, he opened the table, dipped his finger into li Miaozhen’s teacup, and wrote on the table, “My Lord wants to see you. It’s about the North vanquishing Prince’s massacre of the people.

“I’m just here to ask if you’re attending the banquet tonight.” Zhao Jin’s voice was loud and clear, and his smile was forthright.

Li Miaozhen stared at the writing on the table and was silent for a long time.

“Help me thank my brothers for their good intentions. I’m not going.”

Zhao Jin nodded and left the room.

He walked down the stairs and returned to the hall. A group of Jianghu people who were drinking and eating around the table immediately asked, ‘”I SO, did the flying Sparrow agree?”

Zhao Jin shook his head helplessly.

The crowd was disappointed and booed.

A heroine like li Miaozhen was the most in line with the taste of the people of Jianghu. Many of them admired her and wanted to marry her.

This kind of secret love would most likely end without a cause and become a memory many years later.

Zhao Jin drank a few glasses of wine and went back to his room to sleep with the excuse that he was not drunk.

Closing the door, he took out a talisman that li Miaozhen had just given him and ignited it with his Qi. Weng, as the talisman burned, he felt sleepy like a tide. His eyelids sank and he fell asleep.

He opened his eyes again and saw a Pretty Woman in a Taoist robe in the room.

It was li Miaozhen.

this is a dream. What you saw was my nascent soul. Heh, although you didn’t say it clearly, I know that some people already know my identity.

The conflict between heaven and man had been brewing for more than a month. Not many people knew the truth that the saintess of the heavenly sect was li Miaozhen, but not many.

But that wasn’t the point. Li Miaozhen stared at Zhao Jin and said in a deep voice, “”Who are you?”

“My real name is Zhao Jin, I’m a Chu Zhou city Ranger.” Zhao Jin said.

Li Miaozhen nodded slightly, as if she had the ability to tell if he was lying in the dream. She then asked, ‘

“Who is your master? how do you know about the North vanquishing Prince’s massacre? as far as I know, other than the barbarians, no one else in Chuzhou knows about this.”

What she was implying was that a wandering martial artist like him would not know the inside story.

“My Lord, he …”

After a few days of secret investigation and visits, Constable Chen had no choice but to return to the relay station, saying that he had not obtained any valuable clues.

Censor Liu muttered, ” I think we can find a breakthrough from Zheng xinghuai, the chief governor of Chuzhou. This person has always had a good reputation. He is loved by the people in Chuzhou. He is a rare good official.

“If he knew about this, he would definitely not hide it. Perhaps, he was threatened by the North vanquishing Prince and the commander. Why don’t we find him and sound him out? we can move him with emotion and reason.”

Yang Yan looked at the Deputy of the Supreme Court and the other imperial censor. Seeing that the two of them did not object, he thought for a moment and said, ‘”‘Then let’s go to the Yamen of the Chief Administrator’s Office,”

Immediately, he brought censor Liu, who had a good relationship with Zheng Xing, to the Chief Administrator’s Office.

After the announcement, Zheng xinghuai received the two in the inner hall.

After knowing the purpose of the two’s visit, the rigid and serious Zheng xinghuai frowned and asked, ‘”‘1 have a question to ask you two.”

“Please speak,” censor Liu said with a smile.

Zheng xinghuai glanced at Yang Yan and censor Liu and said, “The so-called bloody massacre was only because of a few words revealed by the remnant soul of a corpse. Don’t you think it’s too rash to investigate King Huai with this?” “Your meaning is …. Censor Liu frowned.

“Your meaning is Censor Liu frowned.

Zheng bu Zheng smiled. I’m in charge of Chuzhou’s Affairs. I know exactly where there is chaos and where the barbarians are pillaging. If such a thing really does happen, believe me, King Huai won’t be able to shut everyone up. Censor Liu should be able to understand the reason.”

Even the Emperor couldn’t shut up the ministers, let alone the North vanquishing Prince.

Censor Liu said no more, his brow furrowed in thought.

“If that’s the case, why are you obstructing the diplomatic mission?” Yang Yan asked indifferently.

King Huai is a Prince, after all. Zheng bu’s smile did not change. the Imperial court sending a diplomatic mission to investigate him, in the eyes of the soldiers, is a false trap. It was human nature for them to speak up for King Huai.

“Moreover, King Huai is in charge of the North and holds military power. There are many people in the court who want to strip him of his military power. What happened to the diplomatic mission in Chu Prefecture city was just King Huai’s side’s stress response.”

Censor Liu and Yang Yan looked at each other and stood up to leave.

Riding on the back of a horse, imperial censor Liu turned his head to look at Yang Yan and said, “”Yang Jinluo, do you think what Lord Zheng said makes sense?”

“I don’t know!”

Yang Yan’s answer was straightforward. He had been working so hard these few days only to find clues for Xu Qi ‘an. It was unlikely that the diplomatic mission would not find any clues after the two sides met. It was too embarrassing.

However, he was not good at investigating cases. He only felt that the case was inexplicable and complicated.

my Lord is the only one alive. He was lucky enough to escape from King Huai’s blade and has been on the run ever since.

As soon as Zhao Jin finished, li Miaozhen interrupted him coldly,”King Huai is a rank-3 martial artist. Your Lord was able to escape from his butcher’s knife. In addition, since you’ve been lurking by my side for a long time, why didn’t you show yourself until today?”

“It’s a long story.”

“First, tell me who your master is.” Li Miaozhen frowned.

“My Lord is Zheng xinghuai, the chief governor of Chu Zhou.” Zhao Jin said in a deep voice.
