Jiang Shijia looked at Tang Fangzhi and Jingyu Master, to confirm that they understood the seriousness of this, and then picked up the single sword and said in a deep voice: "Considering that the sword used by the thieves is similar to the military sword, we should also check the army stationed in Bashu. If these men in black are dressed by soldiers, they also have strict organization and are easier to pass various investigations, especially the defenders stationed in eastern and southern Sichuan. In order to adapt to mountain combat, they have also conducted training similar to Qiang swords.

However, this matter must be cautious. I must first ask the Governor General (the Governor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is responsible for regional military affairs, but it only manages military affairs, but does not have the right to lead troops to fight, and must not interfere in local government affairs), and then obtain the cooperation of the generals..."

Tang Fangzhi nodded and said, "I agree with your opinion by Lord Jiang. In addition, I have a suggestion. When sending people to Rongzhou and the army to investigate quietly, pay special attention to whether there are martial arts people who have suffered internal injuries or practiced internal skills and become possessed by evil spirits. After all, according to the butler of the Jincheng Escort Bureau, Shu embroidery, Shu embroidery, Sichuan wine, and bacon are common goods in this intercepted siege, and other escort agencies often transport them. Why do this group of thieves come to intercept Jincheng's escorts in huge dangers?

Although these thieves threw the goods of the raft team all over the mountains and valleys, after careful search and registration, we found that the most precious goods were missing among the goods scattered there, which was also the main reason why Xue Hai went out for the raft this time - a Tianshan Snow Lotus. The pill prepared by Tianshan Snow Lotus can repair internal injuries, harmonize internal breathing, and lead to significant improvement in internal strength. It is a rare treasure that martial arts people dream of, and it is completely worth robbing some people."

"In theory, Xue PaoTou should know that the preciousness of the Tianshan snow lotus is impossible to keep it strictly confidential, so how could it be leaked?" Master Jingyu asked in confusion.

"Yes, when the Jincheng Escort Bureau transported the escort out of the city, the military inspector did not receive any news about the Tianshan Snow Lotus. How did this group of thieves know?" Jiang Shijia walked back and forth in the hall with her hands behind her back, thinking and said: "And according to the story of the Butler Xue, the person who came to join this escort was a masked woman. She did not tell any identity and origin, but just told Xue Hai that she was entrusted by Yang Zhenren of Huashan Sect and went through a lot of hardships to get the snow lotus, and asked Xue Hai to send it to Huashan, and also paid a lot of money... We have not found the whereabouts of the masked woman so far."

Master Jingyu sighed softly: "Head Xue should know the risk of escorting Tianshan Snow Lotus, and he shouldn't have received this dart."

"Xue Hai." Tang Fangzhi snorted: "He is a businessman, and he is obsessed with profit. He must have thought he could use this to establish a relationship with the Huashan Sect, but he did not expect that he would die."

Jiang Shijia stopped, cheered for the two of them, and said to himself: "Since we have checked that the heads of the major sects of Bashu and other martial arts masters have not suffered internal injuries or made mistakes in their practice recently, and have not found any abnormal behavior in recent times, then we will turn our investigation to the areas where the army and the Qiang people live, and maybe we will find something."

"Mr. Jiang, can I say a few words?" Zhao Chen, who had been recording quietly, suddenly asked.

"Of course, I'm waiting for you to give me a little more surprise." Jiang Shijia said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Zhao Chen said frankly: "Before I express my opinion, I have a question. I remember that after this bloody incident, several adults also suspected that the robbers came from the north, so they sent Song Youcheng, Guo Youxin, and Yang Xiuling to investigate. Has the doubts about the north been lifted now?"

The three of them looked at each other and Jiang Shijia said seriously: "The investigation has already been found, and it's okay to tell you now. According to the situation where Song Youcheng and the other three came back to report, more than half a year ago, Yang Zhenren of Huashan Sect and the leader of Hua Yiwu, who came from the Kunlun Sect in the Western Regions, did suffer a little internal injury, but it was not serious. He recovered after three months, and he did not ask anyone to search for Tianshan Snow Lotus."

“Are all these messages sure they are true?”

"This is what we asked Commander Li of Chang'an Prefecture's Military Inspection Office to go to Huashan to ask for information about what Yang Zhenren has learned. Senior Yang is highly respected and how can what he said in person be false!" Tang Fangzhi's tone was blamed.

The Huashan Sect is the largest sect in the northwest martial arts world, and its leader Yang Tongping is one of the top experts in the entire Great Zhou martial arts world. However, he is different from Dugu Changhui, the wife of the Qingcheng Sect who is as famous as it. He is humble by nature and has been helpful for many people in the world for decades. He is deeply admired by many martial arts people. Therefore, when Zhao Chen heard this, he felt nervous and bowed and bowed: "I know my mistake."

"It's not a sin for those who don't know." Jiang Shijia said, "Since Zhenren Yang has not found anyone to buy Tianshan Snow Lotus, then there will be no one in the northwest who knows in advance that Tianshan Snow Lotus will appear in Bashu. After the Jincheng Escort Bureau receives the escort, if someone really wants to rob the escort, he may have to wait until the escort team passes Hanzhong before taking action, otherwise it will be too late."

Jiang Shijia paused and said confidently: "This trip to Song Youcheng and his team of people in the northwest made us more sure that this group of robbers was hiding in Bashu!"

"So is it possible... it was done by the Iron Blood Changhemen?" Zhao Chen said softly.

Jiang Shijia narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Why do you say that?"

"Sir, since the Iron Blood Changhemen was disbanded by the court thirty years ago, some people settled in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and some people heard that they had gone to the Western Regions. In the past few decades, they had basically not heard of their activities in the territory. But now, the "Colored Divine Arrow" appeared in Bashu and took the initiative to provoke the military commander of our patrol. Then three Iron Blood Changhemen contacted Gengpo and made him disappear... The time when the Iron Blood Changhemen appeared in Bashu was so close to the time when the Hot Spring Post blood case occurred. I suspect this may not be a coincidence. We know nothing about the activities of Iron Blood Changhemen in the Western Regions. Maybe this group of robbers with strict organization and high-quality martial arts skills were trained by them..."

The lobby was silent for a moment.

Tang Fangzhi shook his head and said, "I don't think so. The Iron Blood Changhemen risked angering the court and spent a lot of manpower and material resources just to kill all the Jincheng Armor Team and win a Tianshan Snow Lotus. The price is too high? What's more, they are more likely to obtain Tianshan Snow Lotus in the Western Regions."

"With the iron-blooded Changhemen's previous style of conduct, they could not have committed such a bloody killing." Master Jingyu also said frowningly.

Seeing that the two martial arts elders did not agree, Zhao Chen felt obedient and stopped talking.

Jiang Shijia smiled gently and said without comment: "Your suggestions have given us some tips. It's getting late and the New Year is coming soon. Go and celebrate the New Year with Guo Youxin and others."

"Thank you, sir." Zhao Chen stepped down respectfully.

Watching Zhao Chen leave, Jiang Shijia's expression instantly turned solemn. He turned around, looked around the three of them, and said in a deep voice: "Now let's talk about the issue of the Iron Blood Changhemen. They suddenly openly operated in Bashu. What exactly do they want to do?"

"If it was Tang Fangzhuo alone, there was no need to worry too much. He was extremely overbearing and he could do everything he would openly provoke to the military commander when he was hot." Tang Fangzhi said of his cousin, just like a stranger, without any emotional fluctuations: "But the three people who met Geng Po must be taken seriously!"
