The general continued: "According to the strength of the Liu family in Kyoto, they will definitely find the General's Mansion within an hour. If you want to stay in the capital, again, you will be safe in the General's Mansion. However, this Liu family is not
Save money, you have to be mentally prepared to get used to assassinations; if you don't plan to stay in Kyoto, I will arrange for you to go to the Mugao Mountains. You need to decide whether to go or stay. By the way, you should know Mugao
Mountains."
"Go back to the general, I know." Li Xiaotian nodded and then fell into deep thought.
The Mugao Mountain Range is located in the northeast of the Qiu Kingdom. It is a branch of the Warcraft Mountain Range in the border area of the Qiu Kingdom. The Warcraft Mountain Range is a huge and long mountain range, embedded in several countries. Branch mountain ranges like the Mugao Mountain Range are also found in various countries.
It is worth mentioning that although this kind of mountain range is located within the borders of various countries, it is not under the jurisdiction of each country. Countries cannot and do not dare to control it. After all, it is a gathering place for monks to gain experience. Strictly speaking, it does not belong to any country.
control of power.
In other words, the Mugao Mountains are a chaotic unowned land. If you want to survive there, you have to rely on two words: strength.
But, then again, aside from the potential factor of safety, it is indeed a good place for monks.
The vitality is rich and extremely suitable for cultivation, especially for low-level monks. The speed of improvement is much faster than usual. If you are bored, you can also go into the mountains to hunt monsters, which greatly enhances your actual combat ability. Of course, this is
A dangerous and challenging choice.
Generally speaking, the Mugao Mountains is a very good place for new monks to gain experience, but it is also not very friendly to newcomers because of their low cultivation level and high risk. However, this risk can be avoided to a large extent.
These are what Li Xiaotian saw in Wuya Pavilion's books.
"General, I have decided to go to the Mugao Mountains." After a moment, Li Xiaotian said firmly.
The reason why Li Xiaotian decided to go to the Mugao Mountains was entirely for one reason. Yes, it was that he could quickly improve his cultivation. This was very important to him, because Li Xiaotian knew very well that only if he was strong enough could he find out what Li Xiaotian was.
The truth about the Jiagou incident and revenge for them were enough reasons for him to make this choice.
Liu Dacheng, the son of the second elder of the Liu family, the largest family in the capital, has died. In Shang'an City, except for the sky-high price fraudster named Li Xiaotian more than half a year ago, this is the most valuable news in this period. The people of Shang'an City have come to
That said, it should be considered a good news.
Originally, it was no big deal if someone died in Shang'an City. Kyoto was a large city with a large population. How could there be a day when a lot of people wouldn't die?
Some died of illness, some starved to death due to lack of food, some committed suicide because of love, and some were killed by others for no reason. Of course, most of them died of poverty.
However, as the son of the Liu family, the largest family in the capital, died this time, things would naturally go wrong.
First of all, the Liu family mobilized their huge network of connections in the capital and dared to kill members of the Liu family in the street. This face must be regained, and this revenge must be avenged; secondly, the government agencies also dispatched huge forces to arrest them.
After all, the Liu family can become one of the largest families in Kyoto, and the queen in the palace is indispensable. How can you let go of this opportunity to curry favor with someone less powerful than one person in the palace?
On a cold winter moonlit night, white snow falls.
The originally quiet night began to become lively due to the death of a direct descendant of the noble family. Soldiers and members of the Liu family shuttled through the streets and alleys of Kyoto, searching and interrogating every household, and even the corners of some alleys.
Abandoned shabby houses and useless dry wells were not spared. They disturbed many stray cats and dogs, causing them to yell and curse several times in animal-specific languages. In short, they almost turned the entire capital upside down. It was a pity.
Yes, it's all in vain.
Of course, even after spending so much effort, nothing was found. During the search and investigation process, some people who had spied on the scene of the incident roughly learned the direction of his escape, and finally locked in General Zhenbei.
Mansion, because I have visited all the places that should be investigated except the General's Mansion. The most important thing is that it seems that only the General's Mansion has the strength to kill a monk on the third level of Tongmai in the street. Therefore, the General's Mansion is suspected
maximum.
Sure enough, before an hour had passed, the second elder of the Liu family led a large group of people and horses to completely surround the general's mansion. Along with them, there were many government soldiers.
After a while, the door of the general's mansion opened, and the general came out in the lead. Vice General Duan followed him. A dozen soldiers came out and stood on both sides of the door. They stood tall and straight, holding long spears. Although they were not as many as their opponents, they were more powerful than their opponents.
A bit higher, and the army is well-trained.
"Jiang Shangshu, may I ask what royal law this general has committed to cause such a huge battle?" the general asked coldly, staring at Jiang Shangshu, who was wearing official uniform and with black hair.
Jiang Shangshu was not a monk, so he was quite nervous when facing the general's gaze. He didn't know how to answer for a moment. At this time, Liu Jinjiang, the second elder of the Liu family who was standing next to him, patted his shoulder, and then he calmed down and forced himself to calm down.
Said: "Liu Dacheng, the son of the second elder of the Liu family, was poisoned and died not long ago. Many people saw the suspect fleeing to this direction. In this direction, except for the General's Mansion, other places have been searched."
The general chuckled and said sternly: "You mean I'm harboring fugitives?"
As the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he knew how serious the crime of falsely accusing a dignified general of harboring a fugitive was. When Jiang Shangshu was slapped with such a big label, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and couldn't help but timidly said: "Yes.
Suspect."
The general continued to ask, "As the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you are more familiar with the laws of the country than I am. You should know the procedures for searching the general's mansion."
"I need your Majesty's oral instructions or handwritten documents." Jiang Shangshu said weakly, sweating like raindrops.
If it was a big hat that was just taken off, then the bathtub was placed directly on his head. Searching the general's mansion without the king's permission was a serious crime of deceiving the king and decapitating him.
The general asked again: "Do you have one?"
For a time, Jiang Shangshu was in a dilemma. He hesitated to speak. He was frightened and confused by the general's three questions.
Liu Jinjiang couldn't stand the useless Jiang Shangshu and shouted: "The bloodstains and footprints of the fugitives disappeared near the general's palace. How dare you say that this matter has nothing to do with the general's palace? No matter what, I will take the place of my dead son today."
Seeking justice.”
"Noisy!"
The general roared angrily, releasing all his pressure and his momentum was like a rainbow.
Everyone felt an inexplicable strong pressure, especially Liu Jinjiang, who was forced to kneel down on one knee by Yuan Ya, with a very uncomfortable expression. It was obvious that the general had started a small stove for him alone. You must know that Liu Jinjiang has the sixth level of Tongmai.
The general's cultivation level shows that the general's cultivation level is unpredictable. Everyone can't help but secretly feel happy that they didn't actually take action, otherwise they would not be the opponents of these marching wars.
"I saw that Jiang Shangshu was a bureaucrat, so I kindly reminded him not to make mistakes. Liu Jinjiang, you have no official or position, what qualifications do you have to speak here, and you dare to surround the general's mansion. I think you are going to the toilet with a lantern, looking for death.
." The general said solemnly, with a sharp look in his eyes, a wave of his clothes, and a strong force rushed towards Liu Jinjiang. He took a few steps back, barely stabilized his body, and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was undoubtedly trying to scare the monkeys, no.
, to be precise, it is killing the monkey to scare the chicken.
After a pause, the general continued: "I still say the same thing, unless there is a holy decree from His Majesty, anyone who breaks into the general's residence without permission will be killed!"
This killing was said in a low and loud voice, and everyone could hear it clearly and trembled. For a moment, there was silence.
"What if I want to go in, General Yu?"
A clear female voice suddenly floated in the quiet air. Everyone heard the sound and looked around, only to see a luxurious and magnificent car slowly approaching, with a shining golden exterior, followed by a dozen well-trained guards on both sides.
There are two graceful maids sitting in front of the car, their faces covered with gauze and carrying lanterns. There are curtains hanging around the car. There is a person sitting in the middle. His appearance cannot be clearly seen, but his noble status can be vaguely felt.
"See the Queen."
Everyone hurriedly bent down and bowed their hands in salute, consciously clearing an avenue on both sides of the station.
When Jiang Shangshu saw this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
When Liu Jinjiang saw the savior coming, he pretended to be seriously injured, but he was really proud of himself.
The general cupped his hands and replied: "If the queen wants to visit the palace and have tea, she is welcome at any time."
The queen asked, "What if I want to bring someone in to search for a suspect?"
The general said with a smile: "That requires His Majesty's will."
The Queen raised her voice: "What if I forcefully bring people in for a search?"
The general was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Then it is necessary to warmly remind the queen that according to the laws of the Qiu Kingdom, the harem cannot interfere with political affairs. Therefore, the queen is asked to think twice before acting."
The queen was very unhappy and said angrily: "The general is threatening me?"
The general replied: "I don't dare. I am just stating the facts."
The queen laughed angrily: "What a statement of facts. Come, please go to the king quickly to ask for an edict!"
A guard took the order and left immediately.
After half a stick of incense, the guard finally came back and delivered His Majesty's oral instructions.
The queen asked mockingly: "General, can we go in and search now?"
The general said: "Okay."
Seeing that everyone was not discerning enough and didn't rush in to search, the queen shouted softly: "Why, do you still want me to open the way for you?"
After the Queen's reminder, everyone realized what was happening, so Jiang Shangshu and Liu Jinjiang gave the order together and swarmed towards the gate of the General's Mansion.
The general saw this and gave Deputy General Duan a subtle look. Deputy General Duan immediately understood and waved his hand, and the soldiers in front of the door stopped those who wanted to enter for search.
With the decree and the arrival of the queen, Jiang Shangshu was confident and asked, "Does the general want to resist the decree?"
The general was too lazy to pay attention to him, so Vice General Duan spoke on his behalf: "It is okay for Shangshu Jiang to go in and conduct a search, but Liu Jinjiang is not an official and is not in compliance with the law."
The queen snorted helplessly and said meaningfully: "Vice General Duan is right. Jiang Shangshu should investigate more carefully. Don't wrongly accuse General Yu."
Having learned the lesson from last time, Liu Jinjiang did not dare to make the same mistake again, so he had no choice but to retreat with resentment.
Jiang Shangshu led all the officers and soldiers into the general's mansion in a hurry. Because he was resented by the general just now, and now the queen is here, he thought that if he could find the suspect, he would not only be able to avenge the past, but also get the queen's favor in the future.
Appreciation, I will definitely have a prosperous official career in the future, so I searched very carefully. I searched everything on the eaves, roofs, ponds and wells. Anyway, there were things that could not be hidden. In the end, I found nothing. After searching for a long time, I came back frustrated.
.
As soon as Jiang Shangshu came out, he respectfully saluted the queen: "We have conducted a very rigorous search, and indeed no trace of the suspect was found."
When Liu Jinjiang heard this, his face turned gray and gloomy.
The queen stretched her waist and said lazily: "I'm sorry to disturb the general, go back to the palace."
At this time, an officer and a soldier suddenly came and hurriedly spoke a few words in Jiang Shangshu's ear. Jiang Shangshu's face showed a look of surprise and he quickly said to the queen: "Queen, according to reliable information, just now, someone saw someone.
The suspect fled out of the city."
After hearing this, the queen said seriously: "Then Jiang Shangshu went to chase the fugitive quickly. In order to prevent the shortage of personnel, Elder Liu also went to help with the arrest."
"yes."
Jiang Shangshu and Liu Jinjiang said in unison, and they immediately led their subordinates and left in a hurry.
The general and Vice General Duan looked at their disappearing figures, smiled at each other, and returned to the mansion.
Outside Shang'an City, more than ten miles away, next to a plum blossom tree, a man wearing a black cloth hat was lighting a bonfire. Several officers' and soldiers' uniforms were burning brightly on the fire. He stared at the dim firelight, watching the clothes turn into
Ashes quickly put out the fire, picked up the baggage and left.
As you might imagine, the man wearing the black cloth hat is none other than Li Xiaotian.
It is said that when Li Xiaotian decided to go to the Mugao Mountains, the general made a brilliant plan for Li Xiaotian.
First of all, the general found a set of officer uniforms for Li Xiaotian and asked him to put it on and wait for the search in the palace; secondly, he deliberately delayed the search, probably guessing that the queen would come, and waited until he had no choice but to let them go in to search. Li Xiaotian took the opportunity
Sneaking into it, they would never expect it; in the end, they released false news and asked them to arrest them outside the city. Li Xiaotian found the right opportunity to leave the team and escape.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
The main reason why Li Xiaotian wears a black cloth hat is of course because he was wanted. Although the matter has passed nearly half a year, the limelight has passed, and the interrogation has been greatly relaxed, the high reward order is enough to make his portrait
It is deeply rooted in people's hearts that it is safer to wear a hat just in case.
