Invincible son

Chapter 307 306 [Sword Handler]

In the summer of the fifth year of Kaiping, the people of the three prefectures in the north of Lingzhou lived in fear all the time.

Eight hundred cavalrymen from the Western Wu Dynasty appeared in Linqing County, Guangping Prefecture. After a short fight with the guards of Pei Yue, the deputy imperial envoy, they went south and disappeared.The news spread rapidly like a mountain fire in autumn, and the neighboring prefectures and counties immediately entered into a state of martial law, making the people anxious.

Although the governor's office issued a notice at the first time, indicating that the Xiang army would wipe out this small group of Western Wu cavalry as soon as possible, the locals in Lingzhou knew exactly what the Xiang army was, and no one believed that they could solve those vicious Western Wu cavalry. Wu Tieqi.

It wasn't until two days later that the news came out from the Guping camp that an elite cavalry force of 500 men had set off, and the situation was slightly stabilized.

The Western Wu cavalry ran rampant in Guangping, Dongqing, and Dingning. Although they never threatened large towns, they slaughtered more than ten villages and killed more than 800 people in Daliang.The cavalry dispatched by the Guping camp flew into the air several times, but they couldn't catch the enemy's tail at all, as if the mere [-] people had clairvoyance in the back of their heads, and they could predict their movements at any time.

With the passage of time, the evil consequences caused by this Western Wu cavalry gradually became apparent.

Dongqing Mansion is the largest horse breeding place in Daliang. Now facing the real threat of the enemy, the governor's mansion can only choose to confiscate all the horses regardless of size, and temporarily place them in the horse farm of Longbow Camp.After all, there was a precedent of horse bandits in Qingyu Mountain. Xue Tao was afraid that the people of Western Wu would provoke and provoke him again and sweep away most of the horses in Dongqing Mansion. At that time, Emperor Kaiping would definitely chop off his head.

But this is only a stopgap measure after all, because the horse farm of Longbow Camp can only support so many horses in a short period of time, and the supply of food and grass is a big trouble.If the Western Wu cavalry cannot be wiped out as soon as possible, and the three northern prefectures can be restored to stability, there will definitely be great chaos in Lingzhou.

Not to mention that Quang Binh Mansion is the most important granary in Lingzhou. Now it is the season for planting summer grain. It is foreseeable that this year's autumn harvest in Lingzhou will be greatly affected.

Xingyang City, Governor's Mansion.

Xue Tao can generally maintain the demeanor of a feudal official, although he broke a precious teacup when he learned that Pei Yue led the army to destroy the horse bandits in Qingyu Mountain.

"My lord, are you really going to send all the Xiang troops to encircle and suppress that Western Wu cavalry?" Bie Jia Liu Renji asked a little nervously.

The combat effectiveness of the Xiang Army is weak, but it is the only regular army under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion after all. It is usually responsible for maintaining the stability of the states and garrisoning some key areas.If all these 1 people are sent out, not to mention whether they can take advantage of the Western Wu cavalry, the most direct consequence is that the entire territory of Lingzhou will fall into a real emptiness.

Even in Xingyang City, only the guards of the Governor's Mansion and the servants of the government office were left.

Xue Tao said in a deep voice: "Order the Xiang army to set up defenses at the road pass, trap the group of Xiwu savages to death in the three northern mansions, gradually reduce their space for movement, and cooperate with the Guping cavalry to destroy them. We can't let them continue to torment, Otherwise, there will be big problems in Lingzhou, and even the border will not be stable."

Liu Renji sighed softly: "That's the only way to go, I'll do it now."

"Hold on."

Xue Tao looked up at him, frowned and asked, "Where is Pei Yue now?"

Liu Renji shook his head and said, "The imperial envoy's office was blocked by his personal soldiers, and our people couldn't get in at all. However, according to the news from Linqing County, he should have gone to the border military camp with his guards."

Xue Tao sneered and said, "Isn't he afraid of being caught by the Western Wu army?"

Liu Renji also said with a smile: "Young people are full of courage, and they are not afraid if they think about it."

"A suicidal idiot."

Xue Tao showed sarcasm, and suddenly lowered his voice and said to Liu Renji: "You find a few cronies and send last year's share to the Guping camp. This guy Ning Zhong is using the Western Wu cavalry to control me. If you don't see the money, don't you?" Willing to work hard, anyway, this money has been suppressed for half a year, and we have made a lot of money from it. Kill those cavalry as soon as possible, and we will have continuous income."

"Yes, don't worry, my lord."

Liu Renji smiled with an old face.

……

Yonghefang, Qianjin Building.

In the eyes of the world, the oiran Xiao Qingyin probably has a natural charming temperament, she can captivate the soul with every frown and smile, and her singing voice is melodious and melodious, which has intoxicated many dignitaries and nobles.Although she doesn't look like the kind of chaste woman, but in the past few years, no one has been able to be her guest of honor.

It's not that there are no dignitaries who want to have a taste of the first soup, but whether it's threats or lures with huge sums of money, the old bustard of Qianjinlou and Xiao Qingyin himself are not moved.The rich and powerful naturally felt that they had lost face, but for some reason, they didn't make any follow-up actions, as if they respected Xiao Qingyin from the bottom of their hearts, which was amazing.

In a quiet elegant house in the backyard of the building, Xiao Qingyin was facing the sky without makeup, wearing a tightly wrapped long skirt, with a gentle and peaceful expression on his face, without any enchanting and charming look at all.

The bustard of the Qianjin Building was also well-behaved. The two sat in a row, looking at the young man who was writing at the desk opposite.

"Master Lin, the West Wu people are coming aggressively this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it." Xiao Qingyin said worriedly.

The young man's brows and eyes were indifferent, and his killing spirit was strong.

His name is Lin He. His father, Lin Donghai, is the strongest assassin under Mo Moyun's men. die.After Lin Donghai's death, Lin He was brought up by Shen Moyun. To some extent, he could be regarded as his half son.

In the fourth year of Kaiping, Mo Moyun decided to let Lin He join the cadres of Taishitai Pavilion, but in a series of incidents that happened shortly thereafter, he finally changed his mind and let Lin He transfer to Kanbu, and led his team to leave Beijing to monitor Pei Yue all the way. .

Kanbu is responsible for monitoring the state capitals in Daliang. It is roughly divided into government offices on the bright side and secret sentries hidden behind the scenes. Qianjin Building is one of the secret sentries. After all, brothels are the biggest place for news dissemination in this era.

"You don't need to worry about the war at the border. During this period of time to integrate the secret posts in Lingzhou, you must find out the collusion between the generals of the border army and the official circles in Lingzhou in the shortest possible time. This report should be handed over to the capital immediately, and handed over to Mr. Shen himself Review."

Lin He stopped writing, sealed the secret with wax, and handed it to the old bustard.

Xiao Qingyin asked: "Master Lin, do you still need to keep watching that Envoy Pei Qin?"

Lin He's eyes turned cold, and he looked directly at Xiao Qingyin's bright eyes, the sharp eyes stabbed the woman's heart into panic.

Seeing her flustered face, Lin He slowly shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you."

"Yes." Xiao Qingyin quickly bowed his head in response.

Lin He gave a few more instructions, then got up and left through the secret passage.

Xiao Qingyin finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, seeing the old bustard next to her also with a relieved expression, she couldn't help but sigh softly: "This Lord Lin is so murderous."

"Isn't it? I think he must have dozens of lives in his hands."

"Ma'am, why do you think he targeted Pei Qin?"

"How would I know? Qingyin, you don't really have a crush on that envoy Pei Qin, do you? If you ask me, you'd better get rid of this idea as soon as possible. He's now in a relationship with that surnamed Lin."

"Don't talk nonsense, ma'am, I never thought of that."

"In that case, why don't you show yourself in front of Mr. Lin?"

"Can't Auntie see that this Mr. Lin must have someone he likes in his heart?"

There was a bit of cunning in Xiao Qingyin's smile, and the girl's keen insight and worldly wisdom in her bright eyes.
