For several days, the wind was calm and the waves were peaceful and peaceful. However, such calmness made people feel even more suspicious and difficult to rest. It seemed that the invisible undercurrent was the most threatening.

Xu Nianniang's complexion is getting better and better day by day. He has profound skills and takes precious medicinal materials every day to recuperate, so his recovery speed is not slow.

On this day, he ordered people to take the four treasures of the study and spread them out in the room, holding the pen and writing, not writing, but painting.

Chen Sanlang had never seen this scene. Even Xu Jun showed surprise on his face. Obviously, he had never seen his father paint.

Xu Nianniang has studied books. Putting aside some factors, he can even be called the "famous descendant". However, he succeeded and defeated, and became a remnant of the previous dynasty.

In this regard, it is completely different from ordinary people in the martial arts world. However, they usually have less exposure than others, and others do not know about it.

Xu Nianniang's painting skills are quite good. Under the tip of the pen, the lines are soft and the ink is exquisite. With just a few strokes, a vivid image is generated.

What he painted was not landscapes, but characters.

When the first picture was completed, Chen Sanlang's eyes lit up and he immediately understood his father-in-law's intention. But at this time, it is not advisable to interfere with it, just wait and see quietly.

Xu Nianniang took a short rest and soon drew a second painting.

Painting is actually the same as writing. If you want to get a good work, you are quite particular about your physical strength and energy consumption. So when you were painting the fourth picture, Xu Nianniang, who was still recovering, was already sweating on her forehead.

Xu Jun felt sorry for his father and couldn't help but say, "Dad, why don't you take a break and drink a little water?"

Xu Nianniang shook her head: "It's okay, go ahead, I'm afraid I'll be unable to draw it if I'm broken."

As he said that, he was a little more enlightened and started to pick up his pen again.

One after another, a character appears flexibly on the paper.

Chen Sanlang looked carefully and found that his father-in-law's painting method was unique and very different from the mainstream. It cannot be said that he is a unique one, but he has a very personal characteristic. His brushwork is rough and simple, but his portrayal is magical.

It took Xu Nianniang a full half an hour to put down her pen and draw thirteen portraits in total, with different names marked on the paintings.

"These are all the main characters in the copycat."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sanlang was overjoyed.

The copycat characters entered Yongzhou, and they had a lot of plans. They were all experts in the world, with great skills and extraordinary force, which was quite difficult to deal with. What was even more troublesome is that such a group of people were not those reckless martial arts men, but were groups with strategies and wisdom. In addition, they were unfamiliar and unaware of each other's face, and they were likely to be disguised as the other party and even didn't know that they were disguised in the city.

This is what Chen Sanlang fears the most. Although military orders have been arranged, the prefectures and county gates have been strictly guarded, and the patrols of personnel have been increased. But as the saying goes, "A thousand days of guarding against thieves", how can we not leak? It is not a long-term solution after all.

Now, Xu Nianniang personally took the pen and drew the other person's appearance, so that it could be very useful when the arrest and tracking was investigated.

These portraits can also be printed, one can be turned into dozens of them, posted at the city gates, streets and alleys, and can be seen all over the city. They are suspended with a lot of money to mobilize the people of the whole city. In that case, there is no way to hide the convenience.

Thinking of this, Chen Sanlang was very happy. Without further ado, he immediately said goodbye and left, and went outside to find Zhou Fencao.

When Zhou Fencao heard this, he was very happy and quickly implemented it. He charged him with the crime of "the great thief", published many portraits and posted them on the streets. Soon, people surrounded him and talked a lot.

The people have no good feelings for the vicious bandits, let alone a heavy reward. They immediately took care of themselves to see if they could meet these bandits and report to the state office and earn rewards.

The portraits were printed on the ground, not only in the prefectures and counties, but also in the villages and towns near the city outside the city were posted.

It’s like everyone is a soldier!

The net was spread out, and the effect was pleasant. On the third day, people from the town in the east came to report and said that they had seen two people in the portrait: "Qin Wu" and "Su Yang".

At that time, the two of them came to the town to buy some food supplies and asked questions.

The war in Yongzhou was in chaos and the population was circulating, which was very common, so the people in the town didn't care at that time. Now, when they saw the reward document, they realized that the other party was actually a thief and came to report to the official immediately.

Afterwards, people came to report one after another, saying that they had met a copycat staff.

In the public housing, a map is unfolded on the desk, with red dots on the map - they are all places where copycats have appeared.

At first glance, these places are scattered, both in the south and northwest, which shows that the other party is cautious and has not stayed in the place for a long time. But in this way, it seems that there is no structure, it is difficult to capture the rules of the other party's activities, and it is difficult to take measures.

In addition to Chen Sanlang, there were Zhou Fencao, Jiang Caoqi, Mo Xuanyi and others. They all came to discuss strategies according to their orders.

Everyone has been looking at the map for a while, hoping to see some clues.

Chen Sanlang tapped his finger on the table and asked, "What clues do you see?"

Zhou Fencao frowned and said nothing; Jiang Cao touched his chin with his hands and pondered without saying a word; only Mo Xuanyi's eyes were bright and suddenly said: "The places they appeared seem messy, but they are distributed in the southeast, west and north, and the four major city gates of prefectures and counties are echoed. This is to surround them and see the flaws of prefectures and counties."

As soon as these words were said, Zhou Fen Cao and Jiang Caoqi both showed a sudden look.

Chen Sanlang nodded: "Yes, the other party does have this intention."

Mo Xuanyi said again: "It is just based on the information reported by the public. The earliest thing was five days ago. After a few days, the situation changed. We have to prepare for someone else to sneak into the city."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Caoqi's face tightened. As the head of the military, he was in charge of the army and was the first person in charge of the prefectures and counties. If he was touched into the city by a master of the village and did not know, he would have had it. But he also knew very well that even if the city gate was guarding, there was a constant stream of people entering and leaving every day, and the other party was willing to mingle among them, and the possibility of getting away from the barrier was not small.

He immediately said loudly: "I will send more personnel immediately to focus on protecting the governor's office and the prefecture."

These two places are the top priority and cannot be misunderstood.

Chen Sanlang thought for a while and waved his hand: "Let's leave this matter to General Mo. He was born in Dongting and had many interactions with people in the world. He was experienced and capable of being competent. General Mo, what do you think?"

Mo Xuanyi stood up and held his fists, and said with a sigh: "I will follow my orders, but I will follow my instructions!"

"Okay, you can go to the camp to select a group of elite soldiers and generals to be responsible for this matter."

"Get orders!"

Mo Xuanyi was slightly excited because this appointment contained Chen Sanlang's great trust in him.

Zhou Fencao next to him asked: "Young Master, how has Mr. Xu recovered?"

Chen Sanlang said: "It's okay, but I can't do it yet."

He sighed softly in his heart: If Xu Nianniang could recover completely in time, it would be able to increase his chances of winning, but according to the current situation, it would be difficult to count on.
Chapter completed!
