Chapter 201: Benchmarking the Black Dragon Rider

"Master, I'm back."

Dianyi, who had disappeared for several days, finally reappeared in front of Fang Jue.

"How did things go?" Fang Jue asked.

Dian Yiyi said: "Don't worry, young master, all the Beiliang troops still in Suzhou have been beheaded."

"And I captured all the pigeon houses in Suzhou one by one, and some of them did send news to the capital."

"The Xuanjian Division's pigeonhouse hasn't been moved, right?" Fang Jue forgot to tell him.

Diandao said: "I'm not stupid either. The Xuanjian Division belongs to the emperor. How can we be so frivolous? It's just a pigeonhouse for some civilians and court officials."

"That's good."

"Have you met the person who came to kill me?" Fang Jue asked.

Noriichi said sternly: "We actually bumped into a group of martial arts masters with unknown origins. We struck first and captured the backbone of them."

"Has it been interrogated?"

Fang Jue trusted Dianyi. He didn't have to go to the interrogation in person and could directly ask for the result.

"After interrogation, they refused to say who was behind it, but they admitted that they came to kill the young master. I think they are well-equipped and their personnel are of extremely high quality..."

Dian Yiyi made a guess: "I'm afraid he is a person raised by the Black Dragon Rider who was a competitor to the Emperor of Great Xia."

"Compared with the Black Dragonriders' equipment?" Fang Jue was a little surprised.

Such a group of people, if they are all cavalry, can move hundreds of miles across, and it will not be a problem to defeat one hundred.

Of course, the premise is a head-on confrontation.

After all, Fang Jue knew a thing or two about the quality of the Black Dragon Riders. With only a battalion of soldiers and horses entrenched outside Qinzhou, Yue Pingchuan did not dare to fight back against the capital.

However, in Fang Jue's eyes, such soldiers and horses are still not worthy of a meal. As long as they are prepared, they can be easily taken down.

Fang Jue did not ask how the people in Emperor Zun Pavilion were injured.

"Have you ever asked how many people behind the scenes support people like them?" Fang Jue asked the key question.

He had already guessed who raised these people.

To support such a group of people and have an army as sophisticated as the Black Dragonriders, one must have enough money.

In Daxia, besides the emperor, that person's name is already ready to be revealed.

"After I asked them, they refused to say anything. But after I interrogated them separately, there were flaws in their confessions, which made me realize that there are definitely not a few dead soldiers like them."

Fang Jue nodded: "Have you traced back to where they came from and where they came from so far away?"

Although I have already guessed it, I need some proof.

"We have sent people to verify, and the news from the pigeon houses along the way said that this group of people with mysterious origins was discovered by our people starting from Wei Di...all the way to Suzhou, our people secretly followed them, and there has been no trace of them.

Alarm them."

Wei Di...

You really dare to keep people in your own fiefdom!

Fang Jue even admired this King of Wei. If this was caught or even discovered, King Wei would not be able to escape punishment.

But this was a clever move. Who would have thought that he would dare to raise a large number of dead soldiers in his own territory.

"Have the people from the Xuanjian Division discovered them?" Fang Jue thought of this.

Dianyi smiled and said: "According to the young master's instructions, I have deliberately let the people of the Xuanjian Division notice."

Nodding with satisfaction, Fang Jue said happily: "I can rest assured that you are doing your job, it has become more and more perfect."

"Hehe." Noriichi scratched his head, with a smile on his face, as if he was praised for how rare this sentence was.

"You have worked hard all the way, go down and rest first..."

Fang Jue was about to finish speaking when something suddenly occurred to him and the conversation changed, "Is there any news from Taihuang Mountain about the Feilong Racecourse?"

"oh."

After this question, Dian Yi came to his senses and said, "If you didn't ask, I almost forgot. The old Pavilion Master sent a message from the capital to say that although the Beiliang Army was behind Feilong Racecourse, it had also been heading towards Wei.

Send stallions and fine horses."

King of Wei?

It’s this King of Wei again!

"Send stallions to Wei... Is there a horse farm in Wei?" Fang Jue didn't know much about this. The world was too big for him to see everything.

Dian nodded: "Of course there are horse farms in Wei. There is a natural plain in Wei. There are many horse farms in it, but they are not large in scale. There are no big horse farms operated by the imperial court, so they are not famous."

"No wonder I don't know."

"Then Master, what should we do next?" Dianyi was a little excited. He had found too many clues in the past few days and felt that the Master must use them for something.

Fang Jue smiled: "There is no need to do anything. This matter is beyond my control. It has exceeded my authority. Let the Emperor handle it by himself."

"That's fine, so that the young master won't have to work hard all the time."



Donghai Port.

It's early winter, but it's not cold here yet, it's even a little hot.

The blazing sun cracked the rocks on the shore and scorched the workers working at the port, leaving them bare-chested and backless.

"Sir, why has there been no news from His Majesty?"

Navy Governor Mo Hai has been waiting for a long time, but there is no order from the capital to deal with or restrain the Xuanjian Division.

Na Xiao Chaoguo acted more and more unscrupulously, and the sea ban for such a long time had caused significant losses to all parties.

But Mo Hai didn't dare to push too hard. The harbor governor's body was still buried in Haikou Port, and he was not allowed to leave even if he wanted to transport it back to the imperial mausoleum outside the capital.

Xiao Chaoguo's reason was that he was worried that someone would use the coffin to carry grain out.

This naturally made a group of people angry, but after the argument went nowhere and several people died, no one dared to comment on the tyranny of the Hanging Sword Division.

"No wonder Xiao Chaoguo was so impudent this time. It turns out he really came with Shang Fang's sword." Mo Hai shook his head, not surprised by his subordinate's report.

It’s been almost two months!

"grown ups!"

Suddenly, someone outside entered the Navy Governor's Mansion and was brought in to report.

"Sir Governor, Mr. Xiao from the Hanging Sword Division, please come over."

"What?" Mo Hai suddenly panicked and glanced at his lieutenant.

The lieutenant general coughed and said, "Don't worry, sir, Xiao Chaoguo doesn't dare to mess around, and we didn't stop him from doing his business."

Mo Hai breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid of Xiao Chaoguo. He had become jealous these days and wanted to deal with him by the way.

"I want to see what he wants to do!" Mo Hai stood up and said coldly and confidently.

After a while, Mo Hai brought enough guards and arrived at the port.

Xiao Chaoguo and other members of the Xuanjian Division are all gathered here, and no one is missing.

"What is this?" Mo Hai was shocked. Is this an attempt to quarrel with me?

"Please, Lord Governor." Ning Fei came over and asked Mo Hai, but he stopped the deputy general behind him.

"What do you want to do?" the deputy general said coldly.

Mo Hai also looked a little angry: "Is the Xuanjian Division going to ambush and kill this governor?"

"My lord has misunderstood. There are secrets. We don't want others to hear." Ning Fei said slowly. He still wanted to stay here and serve, but he couldn't make the Navy Governor angry.

The lieutenant gave up and took a step back wisely, but put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, ready to use it at any time.

Ning Fei saw his action and just smiled without saying anything.

Mo Haijin went forward and stood together with Xiao Chaoguo. The two of them leaned against the coast, with the waves hitting their faces.

The water is a little cold.

"What did Mr. Xiao ask me to do?" Mo Hai asked coldly, not losing his momentum.

Xiao Chaoguo handed a secret letter to Mo Hai.

After Mo Hai saw it, he was surprised: "How is it possible that they still succeeded!?"

Although he was very dissatisfied with Xiao Chaoguo, Mo Hai also knew that Xiao Chaoguo was right. It was impossible for any seed of new grain to flow out of Donghai Port.

"You guarded it so tightly that you couldn't even get in or out of the coffin. How could it leak out?" Mo Hai didn't sneer, but felt it was weird.

Fortunately, Xiao Chaoguo explained: "The Xuanjian Division over there in Lizhou also sent a letter. It was from the Daxue Mountain in the north of Lizhou. Someone transported things from Qidi, and Luo Yang got it."

"But based on time, as soon as the food arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion, we had already started to guard the passes on all sides. It is impossible to lose it, right?"

Mo Hai was also a little angry: "Did someone take the money and let it go privately?"

Xiao Chaoguo shook his head: "The Xuanjian Division has reported this matter, but no one from the nine Sinzhu tribes dared... It should be that spies found out as soon as the food arrived, stole some, and sent it to the north."

"In that case, Luoyang's riot is actually a cover-up, not for robbery?"

After all, Mo Hai was a military attache, and even a naval governor was familiar with the art of war.

Luo Yang used this move to attack the east and west, and it was really clever.

"Not only that, Luo Yang also concocted the disaster in Suzhou. Now Suzhou is probably starved to death. In order to contain him, we cannot pursue him too deeply, and also to discredit my Daxia court."

At this point, the two of them actually started to feel angry.
