After 10 years of sharpening my sword, I can finally wave

As a hereditary family of generals, it goes without saying that this title and fiefdom must belong to Bai Li's elder brother.After all, seniority is orderly, and before Bai Li's elder brother makes irreparable mistakes, no one can deprive him of his right to inherit.

Therefore, if the other sons of Zhenbei Hou don't want to rely on their eldest brother to live their lives in the future, they'd better make a career.

And as a top-notch military force, it can affect local wars, and even the world where the world is heading!Needless to say, the best way out in this world is to practice martial arts!

However, the road to the top martial arts is also quite bumpy. Qualifications, resources, skills, and luck are all indispensable!But it's so easy to have these at the same time, so in addition to martial arts, writing, business, etc. have also become the first choice of some people.

Like Bai Li's third younger brother, his family's choice was to learn Chinese while practicing the family-passed martial arts.No way, it's really not the material to do other things.As for Xi Wen, although he is not the material, he can at least expand his network in this area.

And Bailu Academy, which is famous all over the world and the first choice of many nobles, naturally became the first choice of Zhendong Hou for his third son.

Of course, the Marquis of Zhenjiang had the idea of ​​asking Bai Li to go study with him.It's just that Bai Li's delicate body and frailty were confirmed by a famous doctor. In addition, Mrs. Bai was reluctant to leave her most beloved son, so she found a gentleman nearby for Bai Li. The pain of running around.

Just casually chatted with Mrs. Bai for a while, and listened to her tell some interesting things during this period. After having lunch together, Bai Li said goodbye first, and returned to his courtyard in Zhenjiang Houfu.

Not to mention the trivial matters of Bai Li's return home, in the capital, in the guard department where strangers should not get close, a small official in charge of receiving information from the outside world received a letter from Feige from Youzhou in the North.Seeing the urgent sign on it, he naturally didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, and hastily handed the letter to his superior.

After several transfers, the letter soon fell into the hands of a commander, and this commander was the one who arranged for Zhang Xiong to go to Youzhou in the North to lurk, that is to say, he was Zhang Xiong's direct superior.

"Is Zhang Xiong dead? He is actually preparing to use him!" The commander looked at the urgent information with a blank face and couldn't help but fell into silence. After a long time, he said coldly: "Check it out for me! Our guard department The person who deserves it cannot die in vain! No matter who it is! Let him pay the price he deserves!"

Chapter 9 It's Time to Rewind

It's no wonder that the commander would hold on to this matter. You must know that although the status of the dead Zhang Xiong was not particularly high, he was only a member of a hundred households, but he was the real confidant of the commander.My father's generation was the kind who had been knifed and died for this conductor.

And the most important thing is that Zhang Xiong went to Youzhou with a secret mission, and he has been lurking for 15 years!Now it was almost time to wake him up and let him function, but he died!

This conductor hasn't hit the table yet, so he can be regarded as quite deep in the city!

The people above gave orders, so how dare the people below be negligent, let alone their comrades, their own people, who died.

Therefore, following the commander's order, soon, the guards' personnel skilled in this area began to gather, and they rushed towards Youzhou.

The guards far away in the capital have all received the news, so it is impossible for the snakes in Youzhou to not know about it.

And when they heard the news, their immediate reaction was disbelief. After all, Duying Villa is also a well-known force in Youzhou in the North, and there are many masters in the village. , there are nearly a thousand strong men who are comparable to elite soldiers, and Zhuang Zhangxiong is a master in the late stage of menopause!

But now, such a Duying Villa was destroyed overnight, and there were no survivors in the villa, including nearly a thousand guests who attended the birthday banquet!No matter how it sounds, it sounds like the Arabian Nights!

However, the fact is so cruel. They finally believed it after they dispatched their elites from all walks of life in Youzhou, and some even went to the ruins of the Duying Mountain Villa in the Qilian Mountains in person!

The Duying Villa was indeed uprooted, and the entire villa and the villa were burnt to the ground and turned into flying smoke!

who?Which side did it?

All of a sudden, this question became the most discussed topic among the Jiang Hu people in Youzhou.

There is no way, the Duying Mountain Villa in Youzhou is not the kind of bad street, it is not as good as it does not know how many people there are.Now that such strength has been wiped out overnight, if the murderer targets them, wouldn't they also follow in the footsteps of Duying Villa!

Here, many figures in the rivers and lakes of Youzhou were disturbed by the demise of Duying Villa, and everyone was in danger, and there were many small tricks in secret.

On the other side, the masters of the Arch Guard Division finally came to Youzhou and entered the ruins of Duying Mountain Villa.

"How is it? Did you find anything useful?" Qianhu, the leader of the gathering place, asked the two capable men who had returned from searching elsewhere after careful investigation.

"Going back to my lord, I got nothing." One of the subordinates said in shame.

"Well, the other party handled it quite cleanly," another subordinate also echoed.

"Yeah, it's quite clean. It seems that we have met an expert." Qianhu squinted his eyes and nodded, and then said: "This somewhat reminds me of a case I handled in Qingzhou three years ago. The way it is handled is equally clean and nothing useful can be found.”

"What does your lord mean?" the subordinate hesitated.

"I don't mean anything," Qianhu said lightly, "Okay, since you can't find anything useful, go back, Mr. Qianshi is still waiting for our report."

"Yes!"

A group of people walked very simply, came quickly, and returned quickly.Soon, he returned to the capital again and met the commander.

"You didn't find anything, did you?" The commander asked while fiddling with the toys in his hand expressionlessly.

"Yes, my lord, the other party handled it quite cleanly," Qianhu continued after hesitating for a moment, "somewhat like what the group of people in Qingzhou did three years ago."

"Three years ago?" The commander obviously knew about the case, so after closing his eyes and being silent for a moment, he continued: "Got it, let's go down. By the way, let the secret pavilion let someone take the case with you for three years." Bring all the files related to the former Qingzhou case, and I want to take a look."

"Yes!" Qianhu replied and left, and soon, a small official from the Secret Pavilion brought over all the files related to the Qingzhou case three years ago.

The records in the case file are very detailed, and there are many similarities with the reply written by Qianhu just now. It seems that Qianhu is not talking nonsense, and it is precisely because of this that the commander frowned.

Because counting the incident at Duying Villa, there are as many as eight incidents recorded by the Arch Guard Division similar to the Qingzhou incident!Cases spread all over the country, and the earliest one can even be traced back to eight years ago!

That is to say, if the eight cases were all committed by one person, or the same force, this force would have existed for at least eight years!And with such a force, the Arch Guard Division has not found anything useful for eight years!

"Sure enough, we have met an opponent." After a long time, the commander finally closed the last file in his hand, frowned and muttered: "But why did they find Zhang Xiong? Because Zhang Xiong was exposed to the outside world. Things, there shouldn’t be anything worth thinking about for this kind of person, right?”

It's no wonder that the commander was puzzled. You must know that when Zhang Xiong was allowed to sneak into Youzhou and gain a foothold, he specifically told him not to do unnecessary things.And Zhang Xiong himself has always been prudent, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with important tasks.

But now, Zhang Xiong, who shouldn't die, is dead, and he still died at this moment, so it's no wonder he thinks too much and has doubts.

Eight years have not been able to find any clues, and the commander naturally does not think that he can find any clues in a short time.So after thinking for a while, I put aside these doubts for the time being, and began to think about the arrangement in Youzhou.

And at the moment when the commander was thinking about the matter, the person who disturbed him came, but he heard the sound of footsteps approaching, stopped, and then the guard outside knocked on the door and came in to report that his old boss, also his master, came. Closed, invite this conductor to go ahead.

The old boss has an idea, the commander dare not take things too slowly, after tidying up his appearance, he got up and went, and came to a quiet and heavily guarded courtyard.

"Teacher," the commander looked at the familiar figure from the back who was fishing by the pond, and hurriedly greeted him without waiting for the other person to open his mouth: "Zifeng has met my mentor, and my disciple came late, so my mentor has been waiting for a long time."

"Okay, why are you being polite?" The old man who was fishing on the shore did not turn his head, and then said, "Sit down."

"I don't dare," the conductor said hastily, "Master, there was no place for a disciple before."

"You," the old fishing man chuckled and continued, "I've put all my thoughts on this. No wonder you haven't made any progress in your cultivation for so long."

"Disciple is ashamed," the commander bowed his head and said, "I let my teacher down."

"If you know you are ashamed, you have to take action. What can you change by just talking about it? Forget it, you won't take it to heart anyway." After sighing, the old man missed the topic and went straight to the topic: "I I heard that someone pulled out a nail you arranged in Youzhou?"

"Yes," the commander quickly replied, "The disciple is investigating..."

The old man obviously didn't care about the dead Zhang Xiong, so he interrupted his words and continued: "Will it affect the affairs of Youzhou?"

"Yes," the conductor said truthfully, "but it's not big. I still have four such nails."

"Very good," the old man nodded and at the same time he lifted the fishing rod, a big fish was pulled out of the water: "Then let's put this matter aside first, and deal with the Youzhou matter first. It has been arranged for so many years, and it should be Wired!"

"……Yes!"
