A family in Lantian County is also considered a wealthy family, and at noon they lost their three-and-a-half-year-old son. The people in the family have searched all over the country, but they have not found any traces, so they are naturally very anxious. In desperation, he came to Lantian County to report to the official.

Lantian County ordered Zhang Xuan to immediately send a large number of officials out to search after hearing the report, but in the afternoon, the people sent out came back one after another to report, but nothing was found, not only did they not find anyone, but even useful clues were not found.

This is inevitably strange. It is said that in broad daylight, the child was lost for no reason, which has never happened in the local area. Facing the crying of that family, Zhang Xuan, who has been in office for more than three years, feels a little headache.

Zhang Xuanben was an ordinary scribe, he successively served as the secretary of Ji Di and Yao Shang in the Chang'an Mansion, and he was very talented, so he was appreciated by Ji and Yao Ergong, and after they were promoted successively, he was originally capable of taking over the position of Chang'an Ling. However, when Yao Shang, who had already taken up the post of Shaofu, strongly recommended it, because the imperial historian Zhang Tang and the monk Yan Zhu had already recommended other candidates in advance, he was appointed as the commander of Lantian County.

The level of the Lantian County Order and the Chang'an Order is naturally incomparable, but for Zhang Xuan himself, he didn't care so much. Diligent government, love the people, and make decisions for the people is the way he has been influenced by Ji and Yao Ergong for many years, and he intends to maintain it well during his tenure.

In recent years, the three counties of Chang'an have developed rapidly and continued to prosper, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Among these three counties, especially the development momentum of Lantian County, it has attracted the attention of the world. There is no other reason, that piece of Changle Yuan, which gathers merchants from all over the world and gradually has a tendency to become the center of wealth, is at the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain, in Lantian County.

Sometimes Zhang Xuan thinks proudly in his heart that he may have been a blessing in disguise, originally entered the court with the Chang'an Order as the cornerstone, and then continued to rise, which can be regarded as a safe way to enter politics. However, who would have thought that Lantian County, which is the most backward among the three counties, would prosper because of the great development of Changle Plateau in recent years!

As long as you keep up with the pace of Yuanhou, there will naturally be no problem with the future. This is the same thought in the minds of Zhang Xuan and many others. Just look at the position of the people who followed him in the past, and you will know what choice you should make.

But in front of the energetic Lantian County Commander, such an incident suddenly happened, which made him feel very worried. This aspect was originally his duty as the lord of a county, and he had to shirk it. On the other hand, the Chang'an College, which Yuanhou has spent several years of hard work and finally built, is about to open, and when the time comes, high-ranking officials, dignitaries, and virtuous people from all over the world will gather, and even His Majesty the Emperor will come in person! Before that, if the lost child is not found, it will be a small obstacle to his official reputation, and if something else happens at this critical moment, it will cause big trouble.

Therefore, when he heard that the officials reported that they had not found any clues, Zhang Xuan immediately became a little anxious. He was about to order all his men to be gathered again and to search in detail in the territory under his jurisdiction, to find out the whereabouts of the child. At this moment, I suddenly heard someone report that Yun Meng, the chief of the Chang'an Mansion, was coming.

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, he and Yun Meng were also old acquaintances, and knew that he had rich experience in investigating cases, so he hurriedly welcomed him in person. After greeting each other, Yun Meng explained his intentions. It turned out that His Majesty the Emperor attached great importance to the opening of Chang'an Academy, and since he was going to come in person, the courtiers did not dare to slack off, and all kinds of security measures should naturally be done in advance. In addition to dispatching a large number of Yulin Army guards, the government offices of Chang'an and Wannian County were mobilized, and they had to send people to Lantian County in advance to help arrange and maintain order and prevent any accidents. Yun Meng led a group of people under him, and they were the first to arrive.

This couldn't be more timely! Zhang Xuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly told Yun Meng about what had just happened, and saw what he could do. Yun Meng was taken aback when he heard this, because just before he set off, the Chang'an Mansion also received a case of a child's disappearance. Because he couldn't be separated, he handed over the case to someone else to investigate, but he didn't expect the same thing to happen in Lantian County, which is a bit strange.

When questioning in detail, some of his subordinates provided a clue, saying that when some hunters went into the mountains to hunt in Lantian in the past few days, they had seen fires flashing in the mountains from a distance, and there were unidentified figures haunting. Experienced Yun Meng immediately realized that this was an extremely valuable clue. After discussing with Zhang Xuan, he decided to work hard and personally led his people to the place where traces had been found in Zhongnan Mountain to find out in detail.

So, Zhang Xuan ordered all the people in the Lantian County Yazhong and handed them over to Yun Meng to lead, and more than 100 people entered Zhongnan Mountain in the afternoon. It's just that this mountain is too big, the terrain is complicated, and the mountains and forests are dense, although it has been searched in detail according to the location where the hunter found the figure, but it is not easy to find it for a while.

When it gets dark, there is still nothing. The crowd couldn't help but feel frustrated in their hearts, thinking that they were going to have to do another job. However, just when Yun Meng wanted to give the order to go back, he suddenly heard a sound passing not far away. As he hurried to look, he saw several dark shadows passing through the forest. At this time, someone is haunted here, obviously either a traitor or a thief! Yun Meng shouted, drew his sword from its sheath, and jumped over to stop them.

Unexpectedly, when the other party was hurrying, they suddenly saw someone intercepting each other, and they didn't say a word, they drew a knife from behind and slashed. Yun Meng's anti-theft skills for so many years are naturally not good at stubble, while ordering his subordinates to surround them, not letting any of them go, and fighting them with a knife. I never thought that the other party didn't know what the way to come from, but they were all very powerful. Although there were only five or six people, these more than a hundred ordinary servants couldn't stop them at all, except for Yun Meng intercepting one and fighting with him, the remaining few swords flickered, and in a moment's effort, they had already cut down more than a dozen people.

It's okay for the officials in the palace to catch a few petty thieves on weekdays, where is the opponent of such a fatal master of the rivers and lakes, when they heard the screams, they saw that the people on their side were injured and fell to the ground, and they retreated again and again in fright, and they didn't have the courage to come forward to arrest them, let alone fight with them.

Yun Meng saw that the situation was not good, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart. Who would have thought that such a powerful character would be hidden in this mountain! These are obviously not ordinary thieves, but masters of the rivers and lakes. At a time when Changle Yuan is about to have a major event, it must be ill-intentioned for such a character to appear here secretly.

These people who appeared in the forest were the ones who were sent down the mountain by Zhu Anshi from the cave where they were hiding, and they were so skilled and bold that they didn't take these guys who intercepted them in their eyes at all. Listening to the other party shouting about what kind of official person he was, let them quickly put down the knife in their hands and not resist. A few people whistled, and the murderous intent was great! Since the whereabouts have been revealed, it is better to kill all these people, otherwise if they miss a major event, there is no need for Elder Luo to come back and blame, and the ruthless Zhu Anshi will not be able to spare them.

Since they have the intention of killing people and destroying their mouths, they will no longer tolerate mercy. The knife saw the blood, the move was fatal, and the killing began! When Yun Meng and the other party were fighting hard, he suddenly heard the screams and exclamations of his brothers, and when he hurriedly dodged to look, he couldn't help but be stunned! I saw that those figures burst into the crowd, like a tiger pounced on a sheep, and the officials didn't even have the strength to fight back, and they couldn't escape in all directions for a while, and there were many dead and wounded. No matter how powerful Yun Meng is, he can only tie with the other party, and seeing that he is powerless to stop those people from chasing and killing his subordinates, he can't think about it, who would have thought of encountering some such masters! I could only desperately put the knife in my hand similar to a windmill, roaring angrily, trying my best to block and save each other, so that one more person could escape.

The level of martial arts cultivation is directly manifested in the means of killing, five or six hidden masters jumped and went easily, harvesting lives, and under their hands, there was basically no one who could escape beyond the range of ten zhang. From the sudden encounter to the killing, but in a moment's effort, twenty or thirty people have already fallen. Seeing that it would not take half an hour to kill all these people.

It was the first time for a catcher in Lantian County to experience such a scene, and when his companion was cut off with a knife and blood splashed on his face, he was completely frightened. The knife and torch in his hand fell to the ground at the same time, clutching his head and howling, running for his life to the edge of the jungle. The figure who had just killed a man jumped up and down the treetops, and in a few ups and downs, it had already overtaken the head of the fleeer, and with a cold smile, he leapt down from the tree, and slashed at the poor head with the cold blade in his hand.

The catcher's eyes widened in horror as he looked at the huge black shadow that fell from the sky in the afterglow of the torches, and he knew that death was about to befall him. However, the next moment, he didn't feel any pain, as if he heard something pierce the night air, shooting from the gap in the trees, hitting the human body like a defeat, and then a cry of pain sounded above his head, and the person who had held his fate in his hands a moment ago had fallen heavily to the ground with a loud noise, apparently killed on the spot!

When the man who had survived the death looked up in surprise, he saw a dozen figures flash from the edge of the woods, and then a crisp voice gave the order.

"Leave a living mouth. The rest can be killed! What a bold man, he dared to come to Master's territory to make trouble......! ”
