Huwa stood on the hillside for a long time, and finally put Xingyao's token into his arms, put it together with the national token, called Panhu, and turned around to leave. Yan Lingzhu's knife fell to the ground, and the body
He also fell there, but Huwa didn't take another look. He was just here to kill people and find out the truth, not to collect corpses and find anything!
…
A covered carriage drove out of the west gate of Feihong City. The carriage was pulled by two horses running side by side. The driver who drove the carriage was also a well-trained elite warrior. There were also two empty horses tied behind the carriage and running behind it. Obviously,
I was planning to go on a long journey and needed to change horse-drawn carriages along the way.
There is a long pole inserted on the right side of the car, with three long black bushes tied every few feet from the top down. There is also a copper bell hanging on the corner of the hood on the left side. The top of the long pole
The three long manes on it are fluttering in the wind and can be seen from a long distance; even if people's sight is blocked, the clear ringing of the bell when the carriage is running can be heard far away.
This is the car of an envoy. It seems that he is rushing to the capital on important matters. The long pole inserted on the right front side of the car is called a knot, which indicates the identity of the owner of the car. The envoys sent from each city will go to the car when they go to see the king.
There are black knots on them, and the manes tied to the long poles are black; and the envoys sent by the monarch to the city walls have red knots on their chariots.
I remember that Lord Xiling went to the wilderness as an envoy for the emperor. Because the dangerous road was difficult for vehicles and horses to travel, he arrived on foot, but the red knot was always held in the hands of his entourage.
The messenger's car is running on the road, and the long bells and bells are also signals. As long as pedestrians see or hear it, they must take the initiative to retreat to the side of the road to dodge. And the car carrying out important tasks cannot always slow down.
The envoy who set off from Feihong City today, after crossing the Min River, ordered the driver to drive as fast as possible. Pedestrians along the way avoided the roadside. They set out in the early morning and did not even eat at noon. They only drank water on the way.
After changing horses, we continued on our way, planning to arrive at Yanhui Village to spend the night at dusk. Yanhui Village was Yan Lingzhu's hometown.
In the afternoon, it was less than an hour before Yan returned to the village. Yushou and the horses were already a little tired, but they still cheered up and went on their way. At this moment, Yushou saw a person standing in the middle of the road from a distance.
, that person should be able to see the fluttering mane on the long pole, and even if he couldn't see clearly, he could still hear the ringing of the bell, but he remained motionless and showed no intention of evading, and even raised a hand to signal the carriage and horses to stop.
The driver was taken aback and shouted: "Driving the messenger, get out of the way quickly!" At the same time, he subconsciously reined in his horse and slowed down. He couldn't really trample on pedestrians.
Someone in the car asked: "What's going on? Why did you slow down?"
The driver replied: "There is a man standing on the road ahead, as if he wants to stop the driver."
The people in the car were startled, and then heard a voice shouting from a distance: "Excuse me, is the messenger in the car the captain of the village treasure?"
The messenger in the car said with surprise and joy: "It turns out to be Mr. Xiao, stop the car quickly!"
Before the carriage could stop, the village treasure opened the curtain and jumped out, followed by two attendants. He quickly walked forward and saluted: "Little sir, how come you are here? You stopped me suddenly.
Car, what's the matter?"
Huwa nodded and said: "Of course there is something, the city lord asked me for something."
The village treasure took a step forward and said, "Have you traced the clues?"
Huwa nodded: "Not only have we found out, but the matter has been completed."
The village treasure lowered his voice and said, "Where is the person?"
Huwa: "It's in the mountains not far from here. Come with me."
The village treasure thought for a while. He ordered the carriages, horses and entourage to stay where they were and waited, and he followed Huwa into the mountains alone. The entourage reminded him: "My lord envoy, the city lord has given instructions. You must rush to the capital as fast as possible, and there will be no delays on the way."
.”
The village treasure said with a straight face: "If something happens, just wait here. After I come back, I'm afraid I have to go back to the city before I can continue my journey." After saying that, he left with the tiger baby and squatted down.
Panhu on the roadside also followed the two of them with his tail wagging.
This section of the road is very difficult to walk, but the village treasure is also an expert after all, so there is no big problem in climbing through it. While walking, Huwa introduced to the village treasure what happened today, focusing on explaining the truth about the "rogue bandits" - Yan
What is the relationship between Lingzhu and Nong Neng and others? What happened to the murders two and three years ago? What is the purpose of Yan Lingzhu and the others?
The more the village treasure heard, the more shocked he became. When he later heard that it was actually the legendary master Chiwangqiu Xingsha descended from the sky and beheaded Yan Lingzhu, he was even more shocked!
After Huwa finished telling the general situation, they also walked to the place. Under the setting sun, Yan Lingzhu's body was still lying in the same place. The village treasure walked up to Xi, picked up the weapon that fell on the ground, and attached it to
After a physical examination, it was determined that the Master Military Advisor was already dead.
He stood up and asked again: "Little sir, where is the cave where Yan Lingzhu is hiding, and what treasures are stored in the cave? Can you take me to see it?" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly changed his words, "
It's getting late now, so if there's any inconvenience, I can go back first, and then I can bring someone to deal with it after I return to the city and report to the city lord."
Huwa shook his head and said: "I don't know where the cave is. Please go back and inform the Lord of Hongyuan City. You can order the Engineering Master to bring people to search. After finding those things, they can be handed over to the warehouse master for storage."
The village treasure was surprised: "You didn't find that cave?"
Huwa asked back: "I just came to hunt down Yan Lingzhu, why are I looking for a cave? I met Yan Lingzhu this afternoon, and then I left here and waited on the road. I heard the Lord of Hongyuan City mentioned it
, knowing that you are leaving the city to rush to the capital today, so I will wait for you on the way...Don't go to the capital yet, go back and report this matter to the Lord of Hongyuan City."
The village treasure nodded and said: "I can't make the decision on these matters. I can only report the situation here to the city lord. Will you go back to Feihong City with me, or will you stay here and wait for news?"
Huwa shook his head again and said: "Since I have asked you to deliver the reply, there is no need for me to go back to Feihong City, and there is no need to stay here. What to do next is Feihong City's own business...
Take care, Captain Cunbao. Next time you meet Lingbao Warrior, please say hello for me and I’ll take my leave now!”
After saying this, he saluted the village treasure and took Panhu away. However, he did not return from the original road, but walked straight through the mountains and fields. After the village treasure returned the gift, he raised his head and saw only the tiger baby disappearing into the mountains.
The back figure on the edge of the forest, his expression was a little stunned, a little confused, but also full of reverence and admiration.
Yan Lingzhu must have a valuable treasure, especially for a monk. It should be something that is difficult to obtain elsewhere. The Lord of Hongyuan City must also know it very well. If Huwa catches up with Yan Lingzhu and captures this person
, the treasures owned by Yan Lingzhu naturally became Huwa's trophies, so the Lord of Hongyuan City "asked" him to do this.
Xingyao killed Yan Lingzhu and left without caring about anything else. If Huwa took away the things in the cave, no one would dare to say a word. But Huwa didn't even search the cave.
His magnanimity and noble demeanor are not to be outdone by the famous Xingsha in Bayuan, and he is highly respected by village treasures!
In fact, Huwa was a little curious about the cave and the things in it, but he had no interest in searching for it, and he had no idea of taking it for himself. On the one hand, he didn't need it, but on the other hand, there was a more important reason.
, stealing those stolen goods cannot make people feel at ease. If you are uneasy, how can you talk about cultivation? What is the use of treasures to Huwa?
Huwa was not interested, but the village treasure was! There was no one else here, so the village treasure started searching nearby. He did not want to steal the treasure, but he was very curious to see what Nong Neng and others had stolen.
things, causing one murder after another.
It was almost dusk now, and it was obviously difficult to get back to the main road before dark. He planned to spend the night in the mountains, search before it got dark, and report in detail when he returned. This was also his duty.
Just when it was getting dark, the village treasure found the place. The entrance to the cave was very hidden, and it would not be easy to find it if you walked by the cliff. What caught the village treasure's attention was an isolated tomb outside the cave. This was an isolated tomb.
The lonely round mound is surrounded by a circle of stones, and the top is covered with weeds. It should be the tomb of the old monk.
The village treasure found the cave but was unable to go deep because there was a magic circle guarding the entrance. Although the magic circle was simple, it was not something he could resolve. Even if he broke through it with brute force, it would take a long time. The village treasure then
I gave up my plan to continue exploring, spent the night here, and went down the mountain after dawn.
The accompanying charioteers and servants all carried dry food, and the chariots and horses were still waiting by the roadside. They did not dare to leave after receiving the order. The village treasure got on the chariots and horses, ordered a U-turn and returned to Feihong City. Huwa was right, the cave should be
Let the engineer of the city wall open it, and the stolen goods inside should be handed over to the warehouse master to be temporarily stored in the warehouse, waiting for disposal.
Yan Lingzhu is dead and all the inside information has been found out. Hongyuan City Lord breathed a sigh of relief. The unexpected appearance of Xingsha also made all the City Lords very surprised, but no matter how much he worried, he could not worry about Chiwangqiu.
In the end, he had no choice but to deal with it according to Huwa's suggestion, and then sent the village treasurer to the capital. This time he could report the detailed case.
…
Two months later, a two-carriage drove along the highway from the direction of the capital. It did not slow down at the Minshui Bridge. The sergeant guarding the bridge heard the ringing of the bell in the distance and saw the red knot on the front of the hood, and knew that it was the monarch's envoy.
, let the car get out of the way and drive across the bridge. The car slowed down after entering Feihong City, but did not stop and went straight to the city lord's palace.
When the Lord of Hongyuan City heard the news that an envoy from the emperor had arrived, he walked out of the mansion and lowered the steps to greet him. The person who got out of the car was the envoy of the Lord, Mr. Feng Zheng, Xiling. The Lord of Hongyuan City said with a smile on his face: "I knew that an envoy from the emperor was coming.
I arrived, but I didn’t know it was you, Mr. Xiling! We haven’t seen each other for more than two years, and it’s Hong Yuan’s great honor to meet you again here!”
