A night of silence.

The next morning, God, who loves to tease people the most, gave me a rare reward. He put away the chilling wind and snow and showed a bright and bright smile.

The wind and snow suddenly stopped, and the road became much easier to walk.

This snowy town also became lively.

Li Nuo and Jiang Ran'er embarked on their return journey together.

But this time, they did not take the Eagle King directly, but followed this caravan as Jianghu people.

After walking for more than ten days, Jiang Ran'er, who was exhausted, finally couldn't help but ask: Brother Li, don't you still have important things to do? Why are you still traveling so leisurely?

Li Nuo smiled happily and said, Going back too early is not necessarily a good thing.

Cui Xiang is in power, and it is at a time when he is using troops against the Demon Cult. If he goes back too early, he will inevitably have a fierce confrontation with Cui Xiang.

He thought that it would be best to return to Luoyang near the end of the year.

Jiang Ran'er opened her mouth, with a trace of confusion in her eyes.

Li Nuo did not explain the reason. He pointed to a red plum sprouting from the roadside: Girl, don't worry about the court affairs. Just concentrate on playing these few days, such as appreciating these few clusters of lingmei. Plum blossoms bloom in the cold.”

Jiang Ran'er glanced at the skinny and listless Hua Lei, curled her lips and said: It's winter, and it's in the north. Everything is white, how can there be any fun? If you have a chance, you can bring Sister Ye to come with me. Yaowang Valley, it’s like spring all year round, with mountain flowers everywhere and colorful butterflies dancing. It’s so beautiful, a hundred times better than the scenery here!”

Yao Wang Valley, don't be in a hurry, wait until you have the opportunity to go there...

Li Nuo smiled faintly, watching the city gate in front of him getting closer and closer, and said, We will enter the city soon.

Jiang Ran'er stretched her neck and took a look, and sure enough she found a majestic city looming in the white mist. She said happily: Okay, we finally arrived in Yanjing, no more sleeping in the open air!

Have you been to Yanjing?

Li Nuo's eyes flashed with curiosity.

Although this girl is not good at studying, she is still very capable in other aspects.

Well, I came here several times with my mother when I was a child. Yanjing is an important town in the north, and I heard there are 200,000 soldiers stationed in this area!

Jiang Raner nodded proudly.

Li Nuo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this girl even knew this military knowledge.

In fact, the army in the Yanjing area is divided into two parts, half is the army and half is the navy!

Six hundred miles east of Yanjing is the Bohai Sea, which was also the inland sea of ​​the Central Plains Dynasty. Adjacent to the Bohai Sea is the vast East China Sea.

In fact, in the pre-Qin period, the Bohai Sea had become a base for the human race to train their navy in order to conquer the East China Sea.

After all, the rich products of the East China Sea are a hundred times better than those of the Central Plains, making all the dynasties of the Central Plains extremely greedy.

During the Zhou Dynasty, there was also such a navy that boarded warships and embarked on a journey, but unfortunately, the entire army was annihilated in the end. The power of the Sea Clan far exceeded the Central Plains Dynasty’s knowledge.

Now, although Dayin has inherited the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, it avoids talking about the sea area to the east.

Human beings should belong to the land.

The sky and sea are not human territory.

This has become the consensus of the Central Plains human race.

Back to business...

When arriving at the gate of Yanjing City, everyone queuing up to enter the city was strictly searched inside and out before being allowed to leave.

After entering Yanjing, he was separated from the caravan. Because the road ahead will be smooth.

Walking on the street, the atmosphere seemed very dull and cold.

After passing by, the merchants and tourists all hurried on their way with their heads lowered, unlike those in Luoyang where they could make noise and talk at will.

Jiang Ran'er also felt something strange, so she followed Li Nuo obediently, never leaving.

Along the way, the sound of horse hooves and the friction of weapons and armor could be heard from time to time.

Groups of heavily armed soldiers patrolled and searched various street corners, eyeing passers-by as if anyone dared to make a loud noise, they would swarm over and arrest them.

This scene made Li Nuo frown slightly.

Something is not quite right...

Brother Li, has something serious happened in Yanjing? Isn't the security too tight?

Jiang Ran'er asked in a low voice.

It's getting late. Let's find an inn and settle down first.

Li Nuo whispered back.

However, while walking around the streets, I couldn’t find [Qingfeng Tower]...

There are also very few wine shops and tea shops on both sides of the street.

After walking for a long time, I finally found a slightly rundown inn.

After requesting two first-class guest rooms and ordering some food, Li Nuo asked the waiter intentionally or unintentionally.

The waiter frowned and sighed: Hey, I don't know, but this Yanjing city is actually very lively on weekdays... Mainly three days ago, I heard that our governor was assassinated in the mansion, so I Yanjing is only allowed in but not out, and I don’t know how long the city will be closed.”

The governor of Yanjing was assassinated?

Li Nuo felt a little incredible.

Yanjing is the largest military town in the north, and the governor of Yanjing is a powerful figure, controlling the entire Northeastern army, a total of 100,000 soldiers!

Under the protection of thousands of troops, could this person be assassinated?

Moreover, this news feels so weird. As if...it was tailor-made for him?

Li Nuo rubbed his eyebrows.

His blessing today is still it's like having divine help to solve a case.

Therefore, the intuition is particularly accurate.

So he was very puzzled. His identity should have never been exposed, so how could anyone target him?

But no matter what, the assassination of the prefect was not a trivial matter, and he had to confirm it himself.

In addition to being the leader of the martial arts alliance, he is also the prince and grand master of the current dynasty! When encountering such a big thing, it would be really unjustifiable if you don’t ask questions.

That night.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Li Nuo put on his night clothes, avoided the patrolling guards holding torches, easily climbed over the wall, and slipped into the prefect's mansion.

The lights in the prefect's mansion were brightly lit, but the hanging mourning flags and white lanterns looked particularly scary under the reflection of the lights.

It was late at night.

The governor's relatives had all gone back to their rooms to rest. Only the widow who had just passed by stayed at the mourning hall, crying from time to time.

Uuuu, husband, when the murderer is caught, I will go to the Nine Springs to accompany you...

Li Nuo held his breath and gathered himself, and walked slowly, but he felt more and more... something strange.

The widow of the prefect was a little too young. Although she wore sackcloth and mourning, she wore heavy makeup.

The curved willow eyebrows, the bright red lips, the big murder weapon that can't be concealed by the linen clothes and is about to come out... always attract the man's eyes tightly inadvertently.

Li Nuo got a little closer to the mourning hall, and was about to use some small tricks to knock the woman unconscious, and then open the coffin to take a look with his own eyes, but suddenly he felt that there was danger approaching him!

In an instant.

Hundreds of sharp arrows pierced the tranquility of the night and came roaring!

Murderous!

With a thought in his mind, Li Nuo circulated his Wen Qi to perform [Transformation], but he suddenly discovered that the formation here seemed to be touched at the moment he circulated his Wen Qi.

He was slightly surprised.

This formation is quite capable, and it can actually isolate his Wen Qi.

Of course, he can break it if he uses it forcefully.

But he didn't do that.

Instead, he drew out the black iron heavy sword and danced it until the water splashed into it, deflecting the incoming sharp arrows.

From the shadow not far away, hundreds of soldiers in armor continued to pour out. They held spears in their hands and showed murderous intent. They formed a military formation and surrounded Li Nuo.

A sharp cold light bloomed on the tip of the gun.

It seemed that if Li Nuo dared to move, they would stab him full of holes.

Among the crowd, a general in black armor with red tassels on his helmet came out, with one hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, his eyes gleaming with a cold light, and shouted: I have guarded you for three days, and I still guard you. Here we are! You boy is quite capable, you dare to have an affair with a bitch and murder the prefect. Today, you can’t fly without wings. If I don’t chop you into pieces with thousands of knives, how can you pay tribute to my uncle’s spirit in heaven!”

? ? ?

Li Nuo looked strange.

so……

Is this a case of mistaken identity?

Think of him as the murderer of the prefect?

Of course, what makes Li Nuo most interesting is that he knows this majestic general in front of him.

An old acquaintance, Qin Beitian!

After being transferred from Yuzhou to Xiangzhou, the two of them even talked by candlelight and drank at night.

only……

Didn't Qin Beitian say he was going to the north to slay demons? Why did he come to Yanjing?

And it seems that he has returned to his old profession and become a military general.

besides……

Did he call the prefect of Yanjing uncle?

It seems that the prefect of Yanjing also had the surname Qin.

So, Qin Beitian Ganqing is also a child of an aristocratic family?

I just don’t know which room it is from.

Mr. Qin is so talented that the last time he attended his birthday party, the Qin family members sat at dozens of tables...

However, there are so many people talking now, and it is not convenient for Li Nuo to reveal his identity and recognize Qin Beitian.

So he just surrendered without any resistance.

Soon, he was tied up with a soul chain and imprisoned in a secret room.

About half an hour later, Qin Beicai came in for interrogation.

Tell me, what is your purpose and why do you want to kill my uncle? I don't believe it, you will be confused by a bitch.

Qin Beitian stared at Li Nuo coldly, Don't think you've changed your appearance. I don't know who you are. I have served as a captain in Yuzhou, so I am very familiar with these torture instruments. You don't want to taste these torture instruments. Does it taste good?

Please also ask General Qin to retreat. I have a secret to tell you...

Li Nuo suppressed a smile and grimaced.

Old Qin, Old Qin, you still like to trick people so much.

Of course, Qin Beitian was brave enough to be an expert and did not worry about the murderer's tricks, so he dismissed the guards.

Can we talk now?

Qin Beitian half-squinted his eyes, and his whole body showed an extremely oppressive aura.

Li Nuo then regained his original voice and said with a low smile: Brother Qin, you are as sharp as ever. We haven't seen each other for several months, and you are fine again.

Qin Beitian stepped forward, looked at the murderer in front of him in disbelief, and said in surprise: Are you...Brother Zian?

Haha, I didn't expect to meet you in this situation.

Li Nuo sighed.

Qin Beitian hurriedly untied Li Nuo's soul chain and said with great embarrassment: Brother Li, I really didn't know it was you who offended me...

Li Nuo stretched his muscles and asked: Didn't you go to Shangyang Pass to join the army? Why did you come to Yanjing, and it seems that you have been promoted?

The helmet is decorated with red feathers, which is the attire of a fourth-grade general.

Qin Beitian sighed: It's hard to put it into words. After we parted ways in Xiangzhou that day, I set out to go north, and met my master halfway...

Your master? I heard you say before that you have been learning swordsmanship at Tianjian Pavilion since you were a child. Later, ahem...

Li Nuo ordered it.

Qin Beitian was caught peeping at his junior sister taking a bath, so he was kicked out of the mountain gate and became an abandoned disciple of Tianjian Pavilion.

This matter has become Qin Beitian's lifelong obsession.

His face turned red.

Although he was wrongly accused, he still cannot get rid of this stain.

There is no way, everyone will get the stolen goods, and his explanation is also feeble...

Fortunately, his master protected him and he survived.

Qin Beitian smiled bitterly and said, I met the master halfway, and he told me that I am... an illegitimate son of the Qin family.

So, you later recognized your ancestor and returned to the clan?

Li Nuo said in shock.

Illegitimate child...

In fact, the Qin family also has a crooked upper beam and a crooked lower beam.

Mr. Qin was a popular figure back then.

He did not expect that Qin Beitian's life experience would be so bumpy and tortuous.

So here comes the question... Did Qin Beitian inherit the fine traditions of the Qin family, and did he peek at his junior sister taking a bath?

Qin Beitian sighed: Hey, the life in the Qin family is not suitable for me, so I came to Yanjing. Qin Zhan, the prefect of Yanjing, is my uncle...

Li Nuo was slightly confused: Shouldn't your uncle be Qin Yuefeng, the current head of the Qin family?

He still remembered that Mr. Qin had three sons and two daughters.

The eldest son Qin Yuefeng is the head of the Qin family.

The second son, Qin Jinfeng, and Qin Fusu, who had a good relationship with him, were the only sons of this family.

Qin Yishuang and Qin Xiaolou, sisters who are fourteen years apart in age, are the daughters of Qin Linfeng, who has a third wife.

Qin Beitian said with some embarrassment: Uncle Qin Zhan is the eldest son of the old man...

oh oh.

I almost forgot that Mr. Qin has quite a few concubines.

After all, he was a charming and charming person. When he was young, he wandered around the world, but he often caused harm to beauties.

Until later he met Jiang Xiaoman, the woman he could never forget!

Damn it!

Thinking of this, Li Nuo almost lost his temper.

So, Mrs. Qin had a crush on his grandmother back then?

Is this secret love decades older?

Senior Yang, Grand Duke Qin...

In his youth, he also gained quite a reputation in the world of martial arts!

It turns out that his grandmother was so popular back then.

Li Nuo became more and more curious, so who was his grandfather whom he had never met before, so that he could make his grandmother so infatuated that she gave up heroes like Yang Wudi and Qin Taigong?

Ahem...

Guilty sin.

How can I arbitrarily talk about my elders!

What happened when Governor Qin was assassinated?

Li Nuo forcefully changed the topic.

Qin Beitian said with some shame: My uncle married a concubine half a month ago, but I didn't expect that bitch to take advantage of the uncle's retreat to have an affair with a wild man. Three days ago, he even became malicious and plotted to kill someone. I killed my uncle. I planned to lure the murderer out, but I didn’t expect that the murderer didn’t come out, but he met you, Brother Li.”

This is really...

Li Nuo laughed at himself, but his smile suddenly froze, That's not right!

Qin Beitian was puzzled: What's wrong?

What a coincidence...

Li Nuo fell into deep thought.

Along the way, it seemed as if someone was tempting him step by step into this situation, intentionally or unintentionally...

Caravan!

Li Nuo suddenly thought that there was definitely something wrong with the leader of the caravan.

Yes!

How could such a large caravan pass by Snow Town in Northeast China?

At that time, I had been thinking about the return of Prime Minister Cui of the court, but I actually neglected this point.

So this layout was aimed at him from the beginning!

Step by step, lead him into the urn!

What a thoughtful thought!

What a vicious method!

Fortunately, the mastermind behind this didn't know about his relationship with Qin Beitian.

but.

Who is harming him?

besides.

When did he reveal his identity?

Could it be...

Snowy town!

Ask around!

Is there really something wrong with the son carved out of the template of Know-It-All?

Qingfeng Tower, betrayed him?

The more Li Nuo thought about it, the more strange he felt.

If Bao Wenzhen really betrayed him... then the success rate of this plan to lure you into a trap is really very high.

Moreover, this layout also took into account his reaction to Cui Xiang's return.

Such people are so terrifying!

Continue to follow the inference...

If he had resisted directly just now, Qin Beitian and many other soldiers would have died under his sword.

So...even if the misunderstanding is resolved, even if he resumes his identity as the Crown Prince and Grand Master, then I'm afraid...

The relationship with the Qin family and even the military will be completely broken!

In other words, some people are afraid of his power in the military, so they want to discredit him?

Cui Wugui?

Could it be him?
