"Who wakes up first from a big dream? I know it all my life. I sleep enough in the spring in the thatched cottage, and the sun gets late outside the window."
It was already past noon when Yang Qingyuan woke up. He had slept well, but little did he know that he envied Li Changyuan of Liumen Yuzhou Branch beyond measure.
Before Yang Qingyuan came, Li Changyuan had the habit of taking a nap. He would take a nap for an hour at noon every day, unless it was an extremely urgent matter, otherwise he would not do anything.
But since the arrival of envoy Yang Qizhi, Li Changyuan has never had a peaceful nap again, which made those who heard it sad and those who heard it shed tears.
Just when Yang Qingyuan was about to have a snack and continue the interrogation, something happened!
"We lost contact with the four detectives who went to Niutoushan to search. Something may have happened!"
These four people are all accompanying members of the imperial envoy. Except for Xiao Wu, Guan Wukui and Lao Hei are all key members of Dali Temple and Liumen.
Yang Qingyuan fell into thinking after hearing this.
"It seems that there is indeed a secret in Niutou Mountain. The first and most important thing is to find the people. Even if they have died for the country, we must bring back their remains... I will take them there myself."
And there is definitely some secret in Niutoushan!
"I'll leave this to you. If there are any strong enemies that we can't deal with, please ask Wangshu to take action."
Yang Qingyuan immediately gathered dozens of elite agents, including a newly promoted Yuanhua realm warrior.
"Chen Jianfei, take my order and go to the Yuzhou city defense barracks, and mobilize three hundred Yuzhou city defense troops to accompany us."
"yes!"
Chen Jianfei is one of the new Yuanhua practitioners in Dali Temple, and is a Yuanhua realm warrior native to Dali Temple.
What I practice is the adapted version of "Six Yang Xuan Gong" by Yang Qingyuan and Zhang Sanfeng, which can be regarded as the basic version of "Nine Yang Manual". It is characterized by being righteous and peaceful. When practicing, there is almost no risk of going crazy.
If you can practice "Six Yang Xuan Gong" to great success, you can also practice the advanced "Nine Yang Manual". It is one of the most widely circulated skills among new recruits in Dali Temple and the Six Gates, and can even rival the eight major sects.
exercises.
This also makes Six Gates and Dali Temple the choice for more people to learn from their masters.
If you pass the selection and examination and enter the Dali Temple Criminal Law Academy to study, you can still eat royal food. This is much better than joining a Jianghu sect.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that those who learned literature and martial arts would sell them to the emperor's family.
Now Dali Temple and Liumen provide jobs for a large number of martial artists.
They were originally one of the unstable factors in the world, and now these unstable factors have been absorbed into Dali Temple and Liumen, becoming a force that maintains public security and stability in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This wave is called getting twice the result with half the effort!
---------------
"Who is here?! Dare to break into the Yuzhou City Defense Camp!"
The soldiers in charge of the guard saw the person coming quickly and showed no intention of stopping, so they immediately went on alert.
Chen Jianfei galloped all the way until he suddenly pulled the reins of his horse in front of the Yuzhou camp. The horse immediately jumped up and stopped its galloping. His skill in filling cups alone was much better than that of a civil servant named Yang.
"I am Chen Jianfei from Dali Temple chasing the wind and patrolling. I am here to mobilize troops with the arrows ordered by Yang Hou, so that you, the city defense military commander, can come to greet you."
Chen Jianfei held the command arrow high in his hand, looking impressive under the sun.
If he had come by himself, he would not be so arrogant, but he now represents the deposed envoy of Yizhou, so naturally he cannot be too low-key.
Although ordinary soldiers did not know Yang Qingyuan's whereabouts, it did not prevent them from knowing who Yang Hou mentioned by Chen Jianfei was.
The military god of the Great Zhou Dynasty first defeated Bei Qian and then destroyed Hou Jin. He was the pillar holding up the sky and the beam holding up the sea.
This Yang Hou was also the imperial envoy for this Yizhou plan. Someone came with his command arrow, and everyone did not dare to neglect it.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. We will go immediately to report to the general."
The soldiers at the door put away their swords and guns and gave Chen Jian a military salute.
In just a few breaths, a general in armor hurriedly ran out of the tent and headed towards the camp gate.
"The last general, Xu Jialing, welcomes the envoy!"
At Xu Jialing's signal, Yuzhou's city defense army camp slowly opened.
Chen Jianfei immediately stood up and dismounted, "General Yang ordered the city defense army to send out three hundred troops, carrying water and dry food needed for five days, and immediately go to the west of Yuzhou City to gather."
After finishing speaking, Chen Jianfei handed the command arrow in his hand to Xu Jialing for inspection.
If it is a main force like the Sixth Army of the Emperor, if you want to mobilize troops, you will not be able to dispatch more than a hundred troops without seeing the troops.
However, the Yuzhou City Defense Army is only a public security force that maintains order, exterminates bandits, and maintains public security.
The Twelve Guards of the Sixth Army of the Emperor are considered to be the first-line combat troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The preparatory troops of various states are considered to be the reserve troops of the second-line army of the Great Zhou Army, while the city defense army companies of the third-line army are not counted.
For such a mobilization of troops and horses, it is enough for Yang Qingyuan to depose the envoy of Yizhou and be the top military and political leader.
What's more, there is an imperial edict endorsement, so there is no need to mention it.
After inspecting the command arrow in Chen Jianfei's hand, Xu Jialing immediately saluted and said, "General, I will obey Jun's order! Please wait a moment, my lord, the troops and horses will leave the camp in two quarters of an hour."
Xu Jialing's military management skills were pretty good. He was a mere city defense force, not to mention combat prowess, at least not in terms of military discipline.
An army with first-class military discipline, even if its current combat effectiveness is not strong, will not be a weak force with a little training.
In less than two quarters of an hour, Xu Jialing had ordered his troops and horses, and followed Chen Jianfei towards the west gate.
…
Yang Qingyuan still didn't know that his action of mobilizing troops and horses made many people in Yuzhou city unable to eat and sleepless at night.
When the Yuzhou County Sheriff learned about this incident, another teacup fell from his hand... he was so frightened.
Before, when copper coins were minted privately, he was not unaware of it. Tang Lian of the Tang Sect had sent someone to inform him and also sent him a generous gift.
There are two hundred acres of high-quality paddy fields outside Yuzhou City.
You must know that Yuzhou is mountainous and things are rare and valuable, and this paddy field is even more precious. Two hundred acres of paddy field is enough for a family to farm and study.
Based on the world price in Yuzhou, these two hundred acres of paddy fields are sold for only ten thousand taels.
The most important thing is that these fields cannot be bought with money.
Fertile farmland is an heirloom, whether it belongs to a noble family or a commoner's family.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the mountainous Yuzhou, even barren acres are good things.
How profound is this gift?
These two hundred acres of land alone were enough for the governor to be exiled for three thousand miles.
There is more than one person like this Governor Zhang.
…
Just when everyone was worried, Yang Qingyuan set off with three hundred county soldiers.
This time I went to Niutoushan just to find someone. I didn’t do anything. It was a blanket search. No matter how many people there were, I wouldn’t be able to do it.
However, the appearance of this county soldier is still somewhat beyond Yang Qingyuan's expectation. It is not that Yang Qingyuan has never led city defense troops in prefectures and counties, but this county soldier is definitely the best among the city defense troops, and its potential is even better than that of Bei Cao.
military.
Yang Qingyuan's eyes drifted to Xu Jialing, a little-known Yuzhou guerrilla general. This man was good at running the army. He stayed in the city defense army as a captain and buried his talents.
After a ten-mile forced march, the county soldiers showed no signs of dispersion.
Yang Qingyuan became more and more satisfied with Xu Jialing and marched to the foot of Niutou Mountain.
It was already early in the morning, and it would be even more difficult to search at night.
After ordering the entire army to rest for half an hour, Yang Qingyuan began to dispatch troops.
Niutoushan was sparsely populated and was infested with wild beasts and venomous snakes. If it would be unsafe for ordinary soldiers to disperse and search, Yang Qingyuan sent 300 men in groups of ten, led by the commander and the six-door policemen, to search Niutoushan.
Not only that, Yang Qingyuan also brought ten hounds, which were the entire property of Yuzhou Liumen.
Dogs' sense of smell is far better than that of humans. Even an innate body like Yang Qingyuan cannot compare with dogs with a keen sense of smell.
That's right, the number one man in the military in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the famous Qingyuan Sword Lord in the world, is worse than a dog!
The city defense troops dispersed up the mountain, while Yang Qingyuan headed towards the mountains alone.
There are basically no creatures that can threaten Yang Qingyuan in this mountain.
But the trouble is that there are many creatures in the mountains, which interfere with Yang Qingyuan's Qi.
However, when Yang Qingyuan stepped into Niutoushan, his heart beat a beat faster. This is a very common thing for ordinary people, but Yang Qingyuan frowned.
The control of the body by Fa Tian Xiang Earth and Xiantian Bo has reached an incomprehensible level. There must be a reason for this accelerated heartbeat.
The cicadas wake up before the autumn leaves fall, and this feeling is unmistakable.
There is definitely a ghost in Niutoushan!
Moreover, Yang Qingyuan is 70% certain that he is related to the Blood River Evil Sect.
This kind of irritable throbbing appeared once when facing the Blood River Sect, and it was still fresh in Yang Qingyuan's memory.
The innate body and blood river magic are like water and fire.
After Yang Qingyuan entered the mountain, people from the Yuzhou City Defense Army also began to search up the mountain in groups.
"We must observe carefully. The first thing is to find people, whether alive or dead or corpses, and report them immediately. The second thing is to look for abnormalities. If you feel something is abnormal, report it to the police of your team immediately."
Before setting off, the leader of the team repeatedly confirmed this matter with his soldiers.
They didn't know what the four policemen looked like, and Yang Qingyuan couldn't draw so many pictures to make every soldier know them.
However, this did not affect the completion of their mission at all. They were looking for people anyway.
There are not many people in Niutou Mountain. If we find the Xianzao, we should save it. It would be even better if we find the four missing agents!
The search lasted for half an hour, but still nothing was gained, and the sun was about to set.
Finding the four missing people in the vast mountains is not an easy task, let alone in Da Zhou, even in the technologically advanced Blue Star.
Before setting off, Yang Qingyuan asked everyone to prepare simple tents and torches.
We will stay in the mountains overnight tonight.
Although there are many beasts, snakes and insects on the mountain, there are 300 soldiers and horses, many martial arts masters, and powder to repel snakes and insects.
This is not survival in the wilderness, this is pioneering an uninhabited land!
The sky was completely dark, and even with torches in hand, visibility was extremely low. The soldiers of the city defense army began to gather and set up camp.
Due to the rugged mountains, we could only set up a simple tent.
And Yang Qingyuan was still heading deep into Niutoushan alone.
After traveling hundreds of miles deep into Niutou Mountain, the strange feeling in Yang Qingyuan's heart became even more intense.
Just when he was performing Qinggong Flying, a faint rancid smell suddenly floated in the air.
Although it was mixed with various smells in Niutoushan, Yang Qingyuan could still smell the corpse smell.
In a blink of an eye, Yang Qingyuan followed the smell to the source of the emanation.
When Yang Qingyuan approached the cave that smelled of corpses, he was sure that there were no less than fifty corpses inside, and they died at different times.
However, Yang Qingyuan was not in a hurry to enter the cave because the traces on the side attracted Yang Qingyuan.
Near the cave, there are a large number of broken branches and leaves, shrubs and grass, which are obvious signs of someone's hands.
Then on a locust tree, Yang Qingyuan found a willow leaf flying knife. Although this was not the standard weapon of Dali Temple and Liumen, and Yang Qingyuan had never seen it before, he still recognized it at a glance as the craftsmanship of a general craftsman.
.
The police officers of Dali Temple, those with two bars or above, or those who have made meritorious service and whose martial arts have reached the five meridians or above, can pay their own money to have the craftsman who will serve as the supervisor make a suitable weapon.
Yang Qingyuan carefully pulled out the flying knife stuck on the trunk of the locust tree, feeling a little heavy.
Judging from the scene, the four detectives he sent should have discovered the cave containing the corpses, but their whereabouts were also discovered by the murderer.
Judging from the traces of the fight between the two parties, the other person was in the Yuan Hua realm, and of the Blood River Sect.
On a stone wall, Yang Qingyuan found a bloody palm print, which confirmed that it was the martial arts of the Blood River Sect.
The four of them, Guan Wukui, were targeted by a demon from the Blood River Sect in the Yuanhua Realm.
The Blood River Sect is an evil sect that everyone shouts and kills, but it does not affect the combat power of the demons of the Blood River Sect who practice the evil method of Blood River at all.
The ordinary Yuan Hua realm is no match for the Yuan Hua warriors of the Blood River Sect.
Their combat prowess is even comparable to that of Shaolin and Wudang masters with a solid foundation and profound knowledge.
Blood river magic, killing living beings to serve oneself.
The original Blood River Sect only wanted to find another way to embark on the path of innateness, but the ancestor of the Blood River could not resist the temptation in the end.
Blood is the essence of the human body, which is the collection of charm. Using the blood of others, especially the blood of warriors, to practice the blood river method can quickly improve your cultivation.
So, gradually, the Blood River Sect, which originally pursued the path of innateness, turned into an evil sect that killed living beings for its own benefit.
In their eyes, people have become the best resource for spiritual practice.
Although Guan Wukui had sharp swordsmanship and had many achievements, he could never be the opponent of a Yuan Hua Realm Blood River Demon.
Yuanhua is also a qualitative change to Tongmai.
Guan Wukui and the four of them are in danger!
Yang Qingyuan followed the traces of the fight and chase and found the first remains about 800 steps away from the cave.
The body's blood had been drained from all over, and it looked like a mummy, shriveled and weird. It still held a willow leaf flying knife firmly in its hand. It was the unknown agent of the foursome.
He was the first to stand up and use flying knives to block the enemy. Although his martial arts skills were not great, he had some success in flying knives. Yang Qingyuan counted all the way and found that this man shot a total of twenty-seven flying knives, nineteen of which
Being shattered by the enemy should be the result of the bodyguard Yuangang.
This also shows that his blocking of the enemy is still effective.
Yang Qingyuan lit a traction incense this time as a mark, and then continued to follow the traces of the battle...
