One night passed, and a rising sun rose from the horizon, spreading light across the entire Yunqin land.
That night, people in the entire provincial capital heard the neighing of war horses, the sound of heavy iron hooves and the rolling sound of carriage wheels.
Many people thought that the fighting on the front line was tense and they were mobilizing the garrison on a large scale. However, when dawn came, many people discovered that in addition to the local garrison, there were also many troops outside the city that were not originally part of the provincial capital.
In other words, the garrison troops around the provincial capital were dispatched but did not leave. Instead, the troops from surrounding Lingjun counties were mobilized.
Not long after, news came that more than 20,000 sergeants had completely blocked the access to Sanmaofeng outside the city, and were trying to capture a fugitive who had escaped inside last night. And this fugitive was really powerful.
, actually assassinated the commander of the Provincial Military Supervisory Office. This was a second-grade official, and it was said that he was an extremely powerful practitioner.
Suddenly, when people in the provincial capital looked at these mountains from a distance in their pavilions, they felt that they had a special charm.
…
Xiao Tieleng was looking at Jiang Xiaoyi coldly.
Jiang Xiaoyi still smelled of alcohol, but the ordinary blue cloth clothes she wore were very clean.
"I value you as talented people in Yunqin, and so do many adults in the province, so I specially reminded you, but I didn't expect you would still do this." Xiao Tieleng looked at Jiang Xiaoyi for a long time, and finally said a
He said this sentence in a cold and pitiful tone.
Jiang Xiaoyi looked at Xiao Tieleng blankly and said, "I don't know what Mr. Xiao meant by what he said. What did we do? We didn't do anything at all."
Xiao Tieleng looked at Jiang Xiaoyi expressionlessly and said, "You didn't do anything, so why were you found near that house?"
Jiang Xiaoyi said seriously: "I probably just drank too much, was intoxicated, and didn't know the way back."
"You don't have to argue with me about this." Xiao Tieleng turned around, pointed at the mountains in the distance outside the window, and said, "Everyone knows now that the murderer who killed Mu Chenyun escaped into Sanmao Peak.
Among those who can testify are not only the many officials who guarded here yesterday, but also the countless soldiers who were responsible for the pursuit. As long as Lin Xi is captured in that mountain... it will be ironclad evidence!"
"Master Xiao, I don't understand anything you said."
Jiang Xiaoyi thought of his anger and despair yesterday, and then thought of Lin Xi who suddenly appeared and Lin Xi's hand patting his shoulder. His heart felt warm and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Kill Mu Chenyun
What does this person have to do with Lin Xi? Moreover, irrefutable proof or not, the real irrefutable proof must be captured."
After a slight pause, Jiang Xiaoyi also pointed at the mountains and said: "Now tens of thousands of troops have surrounded those mountain peaks, and you deliberately spread the news completely. Now everyone knows to kill Mu Chenyun."
The murderer is in the mountain. If Lin Xi comes out from somewhere else and appears elsewhere, it will naturally prove that he has nothing to do with the murder of Mu Chenyun you said."
Xiao Tieleng looked at Jiang Xiaoyi silently. After a moment, he said in a cold voice: "You should understand that when I tell you so much, I don't mean to have a quarrel with you or to get you to death. I just don't want to
Seeing that people who could have made contributions to Yunqin and left a strong mark in the history of Yunqin ended up being of no use to Yunqin and could only be harmful to Yunqin. You must understand that a country cannot help but stand up. If everyone
How can Yun Qin govern the country if he relies on his will and does not follow the law?"
"Master Xiao, Lin Xi and I both understand your good intentions." A hint of sneer and ridicule appeared on Jiang Xiaoyi's face. He looked at Xiao Tieleng and said: "Master Xiao must know better than us. Mu
Should Shen Yun die? When Yun Qin was founded, Dean Zhang and the late emperor said that the emperor's family members were guilty of the same crime as the common people when they broke the law. What is happening now is that someone turned Yun Qin's law into a game.
.”
"So this is just a game to see if you can catch people from this mountain. Mr. Xiao, you don't need to say anything more. If you say more, I'm afraid I will feel that you are hypocritical and have even less respect for you.
." Jiang Xiaoyi clicked on the mountain again and spoke to this Criminal Division official who had an unknown rank higher than him. He also felt that he had come out of Qingluan Academy and experienced all the emotions he felt after last night.
They have slowly changed, and I have become more mature.
The veins on Xiao Tieleng's forehead jumped, but he finally fell into silence. He didn't say anything, but secretly sighed.
He could also feel that these young people had been forced to become more tenacious and mature step by step because of so many things. However, what he saw...these people were not walking up the steps towards the light;
He is getting further and further away from Yun Qin's glory, but he is completely unable to restore it all.
…
There was also an official from the Criminal Department sitting in front of Bian Linghan.
Likewise, the rank of this gray-haired Criminal Division official is not known to be much higher than hers. This Criminal Division official held a piece of paper in his hands as wrinkled as the bark of an old tree.
Lin Xi's handwriting was on this piece of paper, and it was written in a very sloppy and casual manner, "Jiang Xiaoyi seems to have gone out drunk. I'll go find him... No matter what happens, wait until I get back."
The last sentence, "I'll talk about it when I get back," was written very heavily in ink, and the words almost became lumps of ink, but Bian Linghan could understand it, so she didn't say anything.
Faced with many cross-examinations by the Criminal Division official about Jiang Xiaoyi and Lin Xi, including the cross-examination about the note found in her house, her answer always had only three words, "I don't know."
This old Criminal Division official was a former prison warden and interrogator, and he had extracted confessions from countless difficult prisoners. However, when faced with this frail and frail man, he always had a pale face and firmly shook his head no.
The girl who knew it, but he had a sad face and had no choice.
Because his rank is not low, and because he is very old, he can see that one person wants to kneel down alone, but the other person refuses to kneel down, and no matter what, he cannot afford to offend him.
of.
He is already old, and his temperament is more gentle, unlike Xiao Tieleng and others who have a tough personality, and he has experienced the era of the late emperor and Dean Zhang, so at this time, he can't help but think about the man on the dragon throne.
Why do you need to do this... Everyone is happily gathering around the pot to boil a pot of mutton and eat it. Just like before, the appearance is harmonious and beautiful. One person pretends to be surrendered, and you also treat them as completely surrendered. Isn't this great?
?
As you get older, you are no longer a bachelor, and there is dirt in your eyes.
In fact, after so many years, many Yunqin officials did not think so in their hearts.
…
Lin Xi was still walking quickly through the mountains and forests.
Not far in front of him was an abyss that went almost straight down. Below the abyss, which was hundreds of meters high, was a blue-ribbon-like stream flowing outward.
Opposite this canyon, which is about tens of meters wide and seems to have been split open by an immortal sword, is a wider and denser mountain forest area.
Lin Xi had already carefully inspected some high places before. He found that the mountain peak had been completely blocked by the army, so he had to reach the mountain forest on the opposite side of the canyon. With the number and speed of the garrison's mobilization, I am afraid that
It is impossible to completely seal off the mountains on the opposite side so that he can have a chance to escape from the mountain.
Although the wound on the left shoulder has completely stopped bleeding and the left arm can move slightly, the arm bone should have been cracked in many places and was severely swollen.
Whether it was blood loss or pain, it would consume more energy, so after walking fast all night, Lin Xi was already sweating all over her body.
As early as every time he practiced in Qingluan Academy to the point of exhaustion and death, he already knew the wonders of soul power cultivation in this world, and knew that the practitioner's soul power was like another kind of nutrition and power in the human body.
The source, when resisting fatigue, the soul power will naturally and slowly be consumed, and this night he also completely sensed clearly that the secret of the academy's secret King Ming's breaking of the prison was to use soul power to cause trauma.
The flesh and blood in the injured area produces a strange and extremely trembling, causing the blood and flesh in the injured area to coagulate and repair much faster than before. However, this is also at the cost of the consumption of soul power.
Even though he was actually "two bowls of water" and his soul power was twice as thick as that of a practitioner of the same level, by this time, he already felt that his soul power was about to be exhausted.
So he had to stop and find a place to meditate and practice to replenish his soul power, otherwise his body would be so weak that he would not be able to even walk at all.
At this moment, he saw a waterfall, a waterfall with a loud sound.
This waterfall is only five or six meters wide, and the water flow is not large. It should be formed by a pool or spring on the top of the mountain, but because it pours down from the cliff and is high, when it rushes into the blue stream at the bottom of the canyon,
The momentum is extremely amazing. After being washed down for many years, a deep pool with a radius of five to six feet has been formed below the waterfall. It looks deep and green, and the color of the water is much darker than the water flowing at the bottom of the canyon.
What made him slightly happy was that after the waterfall, the width of the canyon seemed to begin to shrink. It seemed that soon, he would be able to find a way around the canyon and enter the wider mountain forest area inside.
However, at this moment, he heard clear and steady footsteps coming from the forest on one side.
Then his brows furrowed deeply, and he saw clearly that on the bank of the mountain stream that formed the waterfall, there was a person sitting cross-legged on a stone, with a black bandage on his hand and a black bandage on his chest.
.
"Lin Xi...you really surprised me, you were able to run so far."
Xue Wantao, who was as motionless as a stone, raised his head, looked at Lin Xi with a gloomy expression that was not what a young man should have, and said indifferently.
