haunting

As a county west of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Sanchuan County has five counties under its jurisdiction, namely Xining, Nangang, Sichuan and Chongqing, Gaomi, Lianshan, and Sichuan and Chongqing counties are the capital of Sanchuan County.

Sichuan and Chongqing County has a flat and open terrain, only one pass away from Xining County. Xining County is still withered, but Sichuan and Chongqing County is full of greenery.

The county town is tall and sturdy, with a city wall nearly ten meters high and a base of about 30 meters wide. The walls are made of huge local bluestone. The bricks are closely connected, and the wall joints are almost invisible, and they look natural.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and there were many people entering the city. You could see a huge convoy coming here from a distance.

The convoy consisted of about thirty carriages, with as many as fifty or sixty people escorting, one by one, riding horses and wearing swords around its waists.

There were two large flags on the carriage in front, with yellow and black backgrounds, one with a black background embroidered with "Shenwen Escort Agency" and the other with "Sanchuan Jun Xu" on the black background. The eight characters are all embroidered with red silk thread, which is very majestic.

The carriage was empty, and the escorts were safely delivered to the location. Seeing that the door to go home was right in front, the team began to stir up. Someone was already talking about going to go to the goulan Wasi to listen to music and watch opera after returning home.

The head of the deck Li Daping rode a big dark horse at the front of the team. He was strong, with a square face, a big mouth, and his two eyebrows were black and thick, and they were straight connected into a word "一", but at this moment he let go and a smile appeared on his face.

Every time this time comes, it is his happiest moment. He has been following the chief escort Xu Xing since he was fifteen years old. More than 20 years have passed, and he himself has become the chief escort, with a group of brothers under his command.

Darting is a dangerous job. Eight times of ten dartings may cause problems. It is common to block the road and rob the dart. When encountering a truly dangerous one, you may even lose your life. Very few people can actually send the dart to their destination safely.

"Sir, don't be surprised. We are all rough people, who do blood-licking work. I don't know if I can come back alive tomorrow when I go out today, so I can't help but be happy!" Li Daping tilted his head and said to the people beside him.

"Sir" waved his hand and said, "It's not a problem!"

The man was wearing a black long gown, with a gray cloth on his head, two beards on the corner of his mouth, and looked like a middle-aged doctor in his thirties and forties. I am afraid that even the closest relatives would not see that this man was actually Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng has always been very cautious in his work. Since Xu Zhongheng has sent someone to kill him, he cannot show up openly.

Li Daping looked kind and said, "I really want to thank you sir this trip. If there is no sir, my boy will be over! So please sir, please enjoy the glory no matter what. Be sure to stay overnight tonight so that I can respect the friendship of the landlords."

By chance, Wang Cheng left Xining Pass and entered the boundary of Sichuan and Yu County. At noon, he met Li Daping and his group resting on the road.

At that time, Li Daping's son Li Dongyang relapsed due to his old injury and had a high fever that could not subside. Li Daping, who saw too many life and death, knew that his son could not survive, so Wang Cheng took the time to treat him.

It took only half a day for Li Dongyang's fever to subside and he could move normally. Li Daping was shocked at the time, so he invited Wang Cheng to accompany him and promised to repay him.

Wang Cheng did not refuse. This time he came to Sichuan and Yu County to rescue his master, and there was no good place to go. Along the way, he learned from Li Daping that the power of the Divine Walking Escort Agency was said to be the strongest force in Sanchuan County, and it is indeed a good place to hide his wishes.

When the convoy was about to reach the city gate, it could not move. Two soldiers were holding a portrait in their hands, checking the chariots and horses and pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate one by one.

Wang Cheng was shocked and stared at the portrait. The person in that portrait was actually him!

The portrait is 70 to 80% similar to him, both of which are both flat and have a tough and capable appearance. There are several lines of notes below, indicating his age, hometown, occupation and other information.

"Xu Zhongheng!"

Wang Cheng clenched his fists. He had never had a moment when he wanted to kill someone so much.

At this time, a voice interrupted his thoughts, "This person looks a little bit ill, isn't he a local?"

The one who speaks is the soldiers guarding the city.

Wang Cheng was thinking about what to say, but Li Daping took the conversation and said, "Brother Zhao Hu, what's wrong with today? The investigation was so strict?" As he said that, he secretly stuffed a ingot of silver.

Zhao Hu secretly stuffed the silver into his sleeve and said, "This is all the orders issued by the county magistrate, brother, I have no choice!" He looked at Wang Cheng again, and then asked, "Is this one..."

"This is the doctor we hired for our family leader."

When Zhao Hu heard that it was the doctor who was invited by Xu Guang, he immediately stopped asking, leaving Wang Cheng with a lot of doubt.

"Brother, I'm still waiting to report to the head of the family. Another day, I'll be the boss. Brother Zhao Hu must appreciate his face!"

Li Daping hugged his fists, then waved his hand to lead the convoy into the city.

...

County Magistrate's Mansion.

A middle-aged man in strong clothes ran all the way through the front yard, came to the inner yard, and then entered a study room.

County Magistrate Xu Boyi was wearing a regular dress and looked twenty-seven or eight years old, but in fact he was already in his thirties. His black hair was tied up by a jade ring, holding a jade tube brush in his hand, and practicing calligraphy on rice paper.

Because he led troops all year round, his skin color showed a healthy wheat color, with clear angular outlines and extremely toughness. When the visitor walked towards him, he didn't raise his head and said, "Mingde, why are you so panicked?"

Xu Mingde said: "Sir, I found out that the body was found in the back mountain of that small town."

Xu Boyi paused his hand, and the good words immediately became unsmooth. He raised his head and showed his extraordinary face. His eyes were sharp and Xu Mingde dared not look directly. He said with a complicated expression: "I remember that Zhu Wei's pair of iron fists made me unable to raise my head. Even I was afraid of three points. I didn't expect to die like this!"

"Who doesn't know Zhu Wei, "Zhen Sanchuan"? "Who doesn't know?" Xu Mingde was also quite moved.

Zhu Wei was a storied figure in Sanchuan County back then. There were almost no rivals among the younger generations in Sanchuan County, and few of them were their opponents. Later, he was attracted by Ning Hou Zhou Zhaoguang, and he was characterized by Xuanwei Commander, and he was very popular.

Xu Boyi asked: "How did he die?"

Xu Mingde took out an envelope from his arms, and when he opened it, there was a yellow bullet.

Xu Boyi clamped the bullet with two fingers, looked at it, and asked, "What is this?"

Xu Mingde shook his head: "This was found on Zhu Wei's body. The other ten Xuanwei's eyebrows were also hit by this object. There were no other wounds. It should have been killed in one blow!"

"It's so powerful?" Xu Boyi's face became extremely solemn.

He was the county lieutenant who led the army and knew all kinds of equipment well. He knew very well that if he wanted to use such a small thing to penetrate a person's head, his speed and strength would be extremely high. Even a martial artist at the Great Success Realm could not do this!

Xu Boyi grabbed the bullet into his palm and waved his hand: "Go down!"

"Yes!" Xu Mingde nodded and turned around and left.

Xu Boyi was the only one left in the study, and he suddenly said, "Do you think it was made by that person?"

"It must be him! The arrest operation is very secretive, and outsiders have no way to know Ning Hou's real purpose. Apart from the fish that missed the net and we, who else?"

A man walked out from behind the screen, wearing a white robe, his long black and thick hair was tied casually by a purple strap, his face was like a crown and jade, his eyebrows were sharpened by a starry eyes, and his facial features were as sharp as an axe and a chisel.

He looks very similar to Xu Boyi, but his every move is easy-going, making people feel like a spring breeze, not like an executioner with blood on his hands.

This person is Xu Zhongheng!

Xu Boyi said: "Second, I know you have been thinking a lot since you were a child. This time, if Zhu Wei wants to catch that person, I am afraid that he will have the intention of using a knife to kill people. But this time I think you did something wrong, and the opponent you have attracted is not simple!"

Xu Zhongheng had a smile on his face like a jade, and there was no sign of worry. He said, "Brother is too worried! No matter how powerful he is, as long as he is still in Sanchuan County, he will definitely die!"

He stood with his hands behind his back and said inexplicably: "Don't forget, I still have a bait on my hand!"

"You mean..." Xu Boyi suddenly realized.

Xu Zhongheng nodded and said, "However, the elder brother needs to increase his search efforts. If he can get rid of this person first, of course it is best, and it will save us some effort!"

Xu Boyi said: "Don't worry, starting tomorrow, the whole city is on guard. I will arrange for more people to search in secret!"
