Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 21 Go in the opposite direction, attack! 【Tickets】

"What did you find?"

Huo Qubing's frame was covered with animal skins, it was very spacious, but it was still a bit crowded with three people squeezed in.

After the frame set off, big cats sneaked onto the roof of the car on the outer walls of buildings along the street.

It is also going to go out to play with it. If it doesn't take me, I will come up by myself.

Huo Qubing's perception accurately captured the traces of the big cat, including the slight trembling of the whiskers at the corners of the mouth when the big cat jumped, all of which were clearly presented in his perception, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Outside the car, Xiong San and Yao Zhao sat on both sides of the stepping platform, one on the left and one on the right, and were in charge of driving.

In the carriage, on the right side of Huo Qubing were Yue Rao and Song Ran, one tall and well-proportioned, the other exquisite and indifferent.

Especially after Huo Qubing said she was stupid, Song Ran's expression became more and more indifferent, as if frozen.

Qu Jun sat opposite the two women.

When Huo Qubing's question came to an end, Yue Rao raised his hand to reveal a white wrist, and pulled out a silk scroll from his cuff.

There was a symbol drawn on the silk scroll, but it was the spell symbol that Xia Jie and Huo Qubing fought against each other that day, it was stimulated from her chest to increase her own potential and resist the attack of Yuanshen Soaring Snake.

In the end, it was this symbol that killed her, piercing through her chest.

From the outside, this symbol looks like a hole, and somewhat like a mouth, composed of many small spell patterns.

Huo Qubing once asked several people to investigate the origin of this symbol.

Yue Rao already has clues:

"I have checked various files many times in the past few days, and found that this symbol first appeared in a sect in the Spring and Autumn Period."

Huo Qubing nodded: "That sect is called Chunqiu Zonghengdao?"

Yue Rao was startled: "Huo Shizhong already knows?"

Through Xia Jie's practice direction, Song Ran found out that although Zonghengdao is mainly based on Zonghengshu, it also has the inheritance of yin-tong secret technique.

Now Yue Rao has also found the information of Zonghengdao based on this symbol.

The two clues match up.

It is almost certain that Zonghengdao at least participated in the assassination of Northern Lieutenant Liu Huai.

"One of the ways of practicing the vertical and horizontal technique is to stir up turmoil, lobby various schools, obtain the power of combining vertical and horizontal, and increase practice.

But this vein has disappeared for a long time when it came to my big man, because the world is unified, and the vertical and horizontal veins have long since lost the soil to combine vertical and horizontal. "Yue Rao said.

"Any other clues?"

It was Song Ran's turn to speak, with a stern face: "I am here to track down the spice that killed Liu Huai, and there is no clue yet.

But secretly paying attention to the situation of the new lieutenant of the Northern Army, I found something, but..."

The replacement of Liu Huai as the new lieutenant of the Northern Army was Zhang Cigong, who was originally a brave general under Wei Qing's command.

"But what?" Huo Qubing asked.

"We secretly paid attention to the itinerary of the new lieutenant of the Northern Army, and found that...he had private meetings with people outside, and there have been several times in the past few days."

Song Ran's face was reddish, and he spoke implicitly.

Zhang Cigong's behavior is bad, and the so-called private meetings are fornicating and messing around outside.

Zhang Cigong was like this. He was a robber in his early years, and he was not confused about major affairs, but he was dissolute, tall and handsome, and liked to plant flags everywhere.

"Who is the person meeting him privately?"

"Lord Liu Ling."

Wengzhu is the daughter of the royal family, different from the princess, and was called Wengzhu in Han Dynasty.

Liu Ling is the youngest daughter of Liu An, King of Huainan.

And Liu An is Liu Che's uncle.

Liu Ling is also a slutty woman, and Chang'an is known as a "social butterfly".

Liu Ling and Zhang Cigong met secretly...

Huo Qubing frowned, suppressed a thought that came up in his heart, and asked the others: "What else do you have to gain?"

"In addition to Chang'an, other places have also experienced changes in the past few days."

Qu Jun under Ting Wei frowned and said: "Our Ting Wei has received news from various places for three consecutive days that officials in Runan and Nanyang counties have been killed.

A total of three officials died strangely. Although they were minor officials, the three of them died in a strange manner and were not injured. The situation was very similar to that of Lieutenant Liu Huai when he died. "

As soon as these words came out, Yue Rao and Song Ran fell into silence.

Things seem to be getting more complicated.

I thought Xia Jie and others were captured, at least there would be no similar incidents in a short period of time, but the hidden opponent not only did not restrain himself, but intensified, blatantly antagonizing the court.

The Runan and Nanyang counties mentioned by Qu Jun are not far away in the southeast direction of Chang'an.

The other party's crimes in these two counties obviously had a purpose, to divert attention from Liu Huai's murder, deliberately create confusion, distract investigators' attention, and make the situation complicated and difficult to start.

"The other party wanted to divert our attention and complicate things.

Then we should try to be as simple as possible and seek a breakthrough from one point. "

Huo Qubing is a typical military thinking.

He didn't intend to investigate step by step. Unlike Qu Jun and others' approach to handling the case, following the clues and digging out the things behind them bit by bit, Huo Qubing is better at directly targeting the middle abdomen, defeating the opponent's resistance with one blow .

The same is true of his way of using troops, which is like lightning, sharp but effective, and quickly simplifies the complicated battle situation.

It's by character.

When the opponent made a move, Qu Jun and the others wanted to respond to the move.

Huo Qubing did the opposite, and he had already made arrangements before, so he didn't ask Song Ran on a whim:
"Xiao Ying went to check the whereabouts of the Zongheng Road, how did the check go?"

"The news has been sent back that people from Zonghengdao are more active in Jiangxia, Lujiang, and Yuzhang counties.

Xiao Ying mobilized my secret investigation staff in these three counties, and has already found out the hidden place of the Zonghengdao, which is in Lujiang County. "

Jiangxia, Lujiang, and Yuzhang are the three major counties on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River.

"Since we know that there is a problem with the vertical and horizontal roads, let's find a breakthrough from them."

Huo Qubing asked Yao Zhao outside the car: "I asked you to go to the Chang'an Guards' barracks to transfer troops, how is the situation?"

Yao Zhao said loudly: "Earlier today, have you assembled your troops?"

Earlier today... It seems that even without Xiao Ying's investigation results, Huo Shizhong has already made a plan... Qu Jun and others thought to themselves.

Song Ran said again: "There is one more thing."

"Taichang, the head of the Nine Ministers, signed an order with the imperial envoys, saying that there were four courtiers killed in Chang'an in recent months, two of them were civil servants. In view of the joint secret investigation by the court and the lieutenants, it has been a long time since the courtiers were killed. We can find the murderer, so Taichang is preparing to send another team to assist in the investigation."

"Too often have to be involved in the killing of the lieutenant of the Northern Army?" Yue Rao was a little surprised.

Taichang is the head of the Jiuqing, and one of the three princes, the imperial envoy and doctor, are both of Confucian origin and come down the same line.

The position of the imperial envoy doctor is similar to that of Ji Gaoguan in later generations.It is reasonable for him to want people to participate in the investigation of Liu Huai's murder.

Song Ran continued: "Huo Shizhong asked me to trace the biography of the murderer Xia Jie before, and find a breakthrough from this aspect. The people from Taichang have already accepted this clue, and even dug out a problem with an official.

They also took over the line of investigating the secret passages of the Marquis of Ruyin's mansion, why Xia Jie knew how to open it. "

Yue Rao said disdainfully: "They follow our clues to investigate, and they will take advantage of it."

"The person leading the team is Zhang Xiaoyuan, the eldest grandson of the former Taichang."

Song Ran lowered his voice a little: "Master said that behind this matter was a dispute between Confucianism and military strategists, and that Zhang Xiaoyuan wanted to suppress Huo Shizhong, and first find out the mastermind behind Lieutenant Liu Huai's death.

Huo Shizhong, don't be careless, you are not only facing Zhang Xiaoyuan, but also Taichang and others behind him. "

Huo Qubing couldn't help laughing: "Let them toss. Do you know how to ride a horse? I'll take you to watch the excitement."

Several people thought of what Xiong San said just now about going to war at the same time.

"The matter in our hands..."

"You can put the things in your hands aside for now. Those Confucianists are willing to investigate, so let them investigate." Huo Qubing said with a smile.

In fact, he asked Qu Jun, Song Ran, Yue Rao and others to join forces to investigate clues, which was a smoke bomb to some extent.

The other party dared to assassinate Liu Huai, the lieutenant of the Northern Army, and had planned for a long time.

From the very beginning, Huo Qubing had considered that the mastermind hiding behind the scenes might have been paying attention to the investigation progress of Secret Detective and Ting Wei.

So asking Song Ran and others to investigate and collect clues is also useful.

This is a game, just like leading troops into war.

Secretly, Huo Qubing had another plan, which was to surprise and open a breakthrough from another direction.

His idea became more clear after receiving the dossier that Ru Bohu asked Song Ran to forward.

The hidden meaning of the secret scroll sent by Ru Bohu is to remind Huo Qubing that the water in Chang'an is deep and intertwined, so it is difficult to quickly find out useful clues and obtain a breakthrough.

In the dossier he gave Huo Qubing, he wrote more than [-] people who might be suspected, most of whom were prominent people, just to remind Huo Qubing of the difficulty of investigating this matter.

And Huo Qubing had other plans earlier.

His plan was only fully reported to Emperor Liu Che.

At this time, the crowd went out of the city by carriage and came to the Chang'an Guards barracks.

Yao Zhao was ordered to prepare the troops in advance, two hundred armored Qingqi, who had been waiting for a long time.

Huo Qubing and others got out of the car, and a chilling atmosphere came over them.

That afternoon, a cavalry army of 200 men stabbed out of Chang'an like a sharp sword and galloped towards the southeast.

On the evening of the same day, in the outskirts of Chang'an, someone secretly sent a message that a trained bird flew southwestward.

In the Changle Palace, Liu Qing was also looking towards the southwest, with anticipation in his bright eyes.

She returned to the quiet room in the palace, crossed her legs and closed her eyes, and she developed a trace of primordial consciousness, which attached to a handsome eagle-like bird on the eaves.

The big bird suddenly lifted into the sky, flapped its wings and flew far away, leaving Chang'an in a blink of an eye.

Big Bird flew more than ten miles along the road, and only then did he see from the air on the ground in front of him, a group of 200 elite cavalry, moving forward as fast as a thunderbolt.

Such a fast speed... Liu Qing thought to himself relying on the wisp of soul entrusted to Big Bird.
