Out of Yuanmen

Led by Lin Zhiyi, the secret agents of the Shen family gradually withdrew to Tanlang City, and piles of information flew into Shen Hanchi's hands like snowflakes.The military advisor that Shen Qiong single-handedly promoted helped him manage some things behind the scenes, and then said in surprise: "Look, little general, Luo Zuhui's youngest son seems to be arriving in Xunyang soon."

Shen Hanchi hadn't reacted to the words Luo Zuhui, so after a little thought, he remembered that this was the former servant of the household department who was "killed by the rogues", and also the father of his imaginary rival Luo Shengyang.Luo Zuhui was released from the capital before, precisely to be the governor of Xunyang, and Xunyang is located in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. It has been a rich place since ancient times, and it is a piece of fat that everyone wants to have a bite of.

In addition, Xunyang, as the wharf of the seven provinces, is the only way to go north from the Zenan area, which is rich in quarries, iron and salt, so the forces there have always been intertwined.For example, Zhu Changtai, as the prince, has won many local officials with the help of the queen, and has been operating in Xunyang for many years.Several local aristocratic families in Xunyang also took advantage of his blessing to dominate for a long time.

Governor Luo, who was airborne, is a well-known upright official. Some people feel uncomfortable when he is sent to this place.Therefore, the matter of "rogue bandits" was a matter of course. Hearing that the governor was killed, Emperor Longyan was furious, and ordered the prince to arrange to clear up the surrounding bandits.Naturally, the crown prince did it beautifully, earning a good reputation in the court.

From beginning to end, Luo Zuhui was a stepping stone for the prince.

As soon as Cun Tian heard the wind, Qian Chaoyang pulled up two hidden stakes on his back, which made it difficult to operate for a while.Fortunately, Yu Ling was not a member of the imperial court, so he was not deeply involved with these forces. After receiving Yun Shugui's letter, he rushed to save people.It's a pity that he was one step too late, and happened to bump into Luo Zuhui and was killed. Fortunately, he saved the life of his youngest son Luo Shengyang.

The Shen family's wedge followed the pedestrian posing as a bandit down to Liu Tantou, but the clue was broken in half.Fortunately, Wang Taian, the former governor of Xunyang who had been investigating for several years ago, had some clues about him—Lin Zhiyi, who was lurking in Goulan, originally targeted a man under the command of the third prince who was involved in Ding Wanqian's treason case. An official, but accidentally bumped into Wang Tai'an's only son.

Wang Tai'an was a student from a poor family, and he was admitted to the second place in one fell swoop. He had never worshiped under any civil official during this period, and his background was terribly clean.But he spent ten years of tenure in Xunyang safely. If he said that there was nothing tricky about him, no ghost would believe it.

The topic is off topic.Let's talk about the ghost-masked man Yu Ling and Luo Shengyang later.

The ghost-masked man in sackcloth who has recently gained fame in the world is originally the son of the sword ghost Yu Tianhe who once made the martial arts people turn pale.Not many people know about this, but there are also many.As for the fact that he was accepted as an apprentice by the "drunk dead ghost" when he was wandering alone, only a handful of people knew about it.The drunken ghost and Cuntianyi's master and apprentice have the same goal, so they formed a tacit alliance early on.

Yu Ling has rejected people thousands of miles away since she was a child. Because of the relationship between her master and Cun Tianyi, the only person who can speak a few words is Yun Shugui who is imprisoned in Wentiansi in disguise.Yun Shugui understood Luo Shengyang's temper, and if he knew that his enemy would definitely be unable to hold back his temper, he told Yu Ling to hide it from him for the time being, and find a way to bring him by his side, and send him to his brother Luo Shengyang after the limelight passed. Shenghua there.

So Yu Ling became Luo Shengyang's nominal master, taking him on a tour while approaching Xunyang.Luo Shenghua was appointed county magistrate in Chenxiang, east of Xunyang, not far from each other.This is also the reason why the emperor ordered Luo Zuhui to go to Xunyang by euphemistically calling it "a family reunion".

Shen Hanchi thought for a moment, and asked the military adviser: "Is it too hasty to send Luo Shengyang to Xunyang?"

The military adviser nodded: "I also thought about it in the same way, but Mr. Cun sent a letter, please take a look."

Hearing that it was sent from Cun Tianyi, Shen Hanchi's heart was pounding with tension.He tried his best to put on a calm appearance, took over the letter and took a rough look at it. The letter was written every inch of the way from beginning to end.He was slightly disappointed, and stretched his eyebrows after reading the letter: "Since Mr. Cun is free to arrange, we don't have to worry about things outside Tanlang City."

He turned the letter over casually, and saw that Cun Tianyi had written on the back, "Apprentice's daughter-in-law, my apprentice is about to suffer from lovesickness, so come back early after the war to treat him."

Shen Hanchi blushed, and silently complained about "disrespecting the old", then threw the letter paper into the brazier and burned it.

He tentatively asked the military adviser: "Is there any other letter from Huajing?"

The military division said: "This...not anymore."

If it wasn't for the fear that the military adviser would see the joke, Shen Hanchi would just lie on the desk and make a fuss.He was feeling sore in his heart when he suddenly felt something in the envelope.Seeing his surprised expression, the military division turned around and left the military tent consciously.Shen Hanchi cut open the envelope with a dagger, and there was a small palm-sized painting folded in half inside.

On the rice paper with agarwood fragrance, a cluster of branches is outlined with a light brush and ink, and a little bit of round cinnabar is dropped on it. There is a cloud character in the lower right corner. The iron draws a silver hook, which is strong and natural. It is not exactly from Huajing. Unparalleled son Yun Shugui's handwriting.Shen Hanchi held up the painting and looked at it for a long time. At first, he thought it was Mei, but after a little thought, he realized what it meant.

The sourness was gone, Little General Shen giggled for a long time as if he had lost his mind.He folded the painting in half again, and muttered, "Men Sao."

He pretended to be calm and looked at the information presented by the wedges for a while, but there was always a kitten scratching him in his heart, and he couldn't calm down at all.After a while, Shen Hanchi poked his head out of the tent, startling his lieutenant.

Shen Hanchi coughed dryly, and asked rather embarrassedly: "When is the next time you will send a letter to Huajing?"

He remembered that the letter he wanted to send to Yun Shugui hadn't been sent to him yet.

Having settled a major matter on his mind, Shen Hanchi was refreshed and quickly finished handling the things in his hand.He looked at the sun, and when it was almost time for military training, he casually moved the booklets piled up on the desk aside, revealing a book pressed underneath.The word "Chaolue" is written in thick and eclectic cursive on this book.Shen Hanchi's gaze fell on it, and he recalled that it was a book given by that weird man named Ji Sui whom he bumped into on the way back then.

At that time, the advice Ji Sui gave him to win people's hearts was exactly what he wanted, and he read half of this book during the few days he was lying in the carriage.What I talked about before was all about being an official. Although the writing was to the point, he didn't have much interest in it, so he put the book aside later.

But thinking about it now, the weirdo named Ji Sui obviously guessed his identity, why did he give him such a tasteless book?

The more Shen Hanchi thought about it, the more he felt that Ji Sui had some deep meaning at that time.He touched Yun Shugui's painting, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. He picked the binding thread with a dagger, and tore open the cover of this "Chao Lue".He twisted a corner of the cover with his hands, and it turned out to be double-layered as he thought.He carefully opened the interlayer, and there was also a piece of paper inside.

After reading the contents of the piece of paper, he showed a dignified expression.He hurriedly picked up a pen and wrote a letter, and called out before the ink dried.Just as he was about to send someone to deliver the letter, he stood up again, put on his cloak, opened the curtain directly, and walked out eagerly.

The records of Ji Sui in the history books started from this moment.
