Yu'er sealed several large blood on the body of the Heavenly Hermit to stop the Heavenly Hermit from continuing to bleed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At the same time, the first thing that came to Yu'er's mind was Cao Zhuo, which did not mean that Yu'er had anything to do with Cao Zhuo, but because Cao Zhuo had a broken arm, and now the situation of the hermit was not much different from Cao Zhuo, so there was definitely nothing wrong with looking for Cao Zhuo.
In the post house, Cao Zhuo was drinking alone while listening to the return of his apprentices.
Chasing Feng did not get the news and whereabouts of the Heavenly Hermit, but was telling Cao Zhuo about Bai Huwei's movements.
After a long time, Cao Zhuo said unhurriedly: "You mean, Yan Tao himself has dispatched with countless White Tiger Sword Guards?" ā
"Yes." Chasing Feng nodded and continued: "After the people below found that Yan Tao led the White Tiger Sword Guard out, they followed closely all the way, but unfortunately they still lost it. ā
Cao Zhuo shook his head and sighed, this kind of situation has often happened before, this is not only the situation of the White Tiger Guard, but even the other two guards are the same, because the three guards are stationed in the capital, with lightning speed, they quickly sprinkle their eyeliner all over the capital, and for a time the spies of the three guards are much more than those of the Jinyi Guard.
The eldest prince Zhu Zhen already knew about the three guards, but his ambiguous attitude made Cao Zhuo hindered everywhere, and he couldn't pull out all the spies of the three guards, and he couldn't even move, and the reason for this was that Cao Zhuo also knew that the eldest prince Zhu Zhen was trying to balance the strength of all parties.
Sanwei's spies don't have an official identity, once something happens, the eldest prince Zhu Zhen will not favor them, but Cao Zhuo's Jinyiwei is different, they are legitimate spies, and they also have the power of life and death.
Without an army, the Jinyi Guard could have the power of life and death in the city.
Of course, some people have admonished the eldest prince Zhu Zhen, bluntly saying that Jinyiwei has too much power, and he is afraid of causing trouble.
However, the eldest prince Zhu Zhen is also very ambiguous about this, on the contrary, Zhu Zhen thinks that Cao Zhuo is wholeheartedly doing things for himself, and he will definitely not do some illegal things, this Zhu Zhen has already learned when he was in the capital.
In private, Zhu Zhen once said to his grandfather Ning Fei: Cao Zhuo is a loyal and upright person.
Ning Fei also agreed with Zhu Zhen's statement, although their respective positions were different, but the ultimate goal was to support the eldest prince Zhu Zhen.
"How's that going on?" Cao Zhuo asked after drinking a glass of wine.
Chasing Feng was ashamed: "Back to Master's words, at first we thought that the flower thief was acting at night to kidnap the woman, but after careful investigation, we found that all these women disappeared in broad daylight, and the apprentice thought that this matter was not as simple as the flower thief, I am afraid that it would be very involved." "Chasing the wind is a bit hidden when he speaks.
Cao Zhuo frowned: "If you have something to say, just say it." ā
"Yes, the apprentice has investigated, and it is very likely that all the missing women disappeared in the downtown area, and they were taken away in full view of everyone, so the apprentice thinks that this matter has nothing to do with Sanwei."
"Why do you think so?" Everything needs a piece of evidence, although Cao Zhuo is a martial artist, he is better than having a flexible mind and a prudent temperament, otherwise he would not have been lurking in the Gaochang royal court for so long.
"The missing woman has been painted and issued to all the spies, and it is ordered that all spies must pay close attention to the beautiful women walking on the street, and some spies have reported that they have seen a certain woman on the same day, and it is in the market, but in a blink of an eye there is no trace of the woman, and the next day the woman is missing, and her whereabouts are unknown, at the same time, in the bazaar where the crime occurred, the spies often see several sedan chairs passing by, that is to say, the other party uses the sedan chair to hide people, and the market has so many eyes, Not only are there spies from our Jinyi Guard, but there are also a lot of spies from Sanwei, but why haven't they seen them? That's the crux of the matter. ā
"Who is that?" Cao Zhuo asked thoughtfully.
Chasing Feng shook his head: "The apprentice is incompetent, everything just depends on the news of the spies and his own inference, by the way, Master, the Yan family invited the broken sword in the top eight in Luoyang, and came back to Yan Yanting as a bodyguard, the apprentice felt that this was strange." ā
"Luoyang top eight, broken sword?" Cao Zhuo repeated the name of the broken sword, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Just imagine, the strength of the White Tiger Guard is already strong enough, why do you want to invite a master with such a high martial arts to come back as a bodyguard? Could it be that someone wants to murder Yan Yanting? This is completely impossible, the Yan family did not set up any enemies at all when General Yan was in charge, the only one was Wang Xunfu in the capital, but the Wang family died, the prisoners were imprisoned, and only the queen mother was left, but although the queen mother sent a lot of spies to infiltrate the capital, they were all stopped by us, and there has been no incident so far, and the queen mother really has a move, and it will not only target the Yan family, but also the Ning family, the Meng family, the Zhang family, the Cheng family, etc., so the apprentice guessed that Yan Tao was buying insurance for Yan Yanting in case something happened to him. ā
"Because Yan Tao knows what Yan Yanting has done, once he is discovered, it will lead to death, so invite a supreme master to come back not only to protect Yan Yanting, but also to cover up what Yan Yanting has done, and let the broken sword do things like killing people and killing people?" Cao Zhuo finished laughing, but then laughed.
Chasing Feng was full of doubts: "Master, what are you laughing at?" ā
"My Xiaoyan family is too good at inviting people, but I don't invite what I should invite, but I invite what I shouldn't invite."
As early as after the wind has no shadow, the clouds have no trace, and the jade beauty has become the personal guard of the great prince, Cao Zhuo has investigated the top eight in Luoyang.
"Shouldn't they have asked for a broken sword?" Chasing the wind is confused.
"Knowing yourself and knowing that you are invincible, you must remember this sentence, for the teacher to tell you, Broken Sword has a chivalrous heart, has never killed innocent indiscriminately, and would rather starve himself than bully, eat overlord meals and the like, so if Yan Yanting really captured the women in the city, and the broken sword is by Yan Yanting's side, it is undoubtedly the Yan family digging their own graves, seeing such a beast's behavior, Broken Sword will inevitably be unable to bear it and rescue the captive woman, on the contrary, I think the Yan family should invite Zheng Qiankun, only Zheng Qiankun will be with them."
"Master, why do you know so well?" Chasing the wind admires Cao Zhuo even more.
"There are two points, one of the princes is next to the top eight in Luoyang, so we must investigate their details; Second, the top eight in Luoyang indirectly participated in the bloodbath of Jinyiwei in the capital back then, but unfortunately I don't know what happened at that time, and no one in the entire Jinyiwei survived. Cao Zhuo said with a sad and indignant face.
"My lord, my lord, it's not good, it's not good." The brocade guard outside hurriedly ran in, interrupting the chasing wind who was about to speak.
Seeing such a panicked look on his subordinates, Chasing Feng looked displeased: "What's the matter, panicked like this?" ā
"My lord, something happened, and the great prince's VIP Heavenly Hermit was hit hard."
"What?" Suddenly, Cao Zhuo stood up and rushed out like an arrow.
Seeing this, Chasing Feng didn't care about anything else, and immediately rushed out.
As soon as Cao Zhuo and Chasing Feng arrived at the gate, they saw a delicate woman covered in blood, who was struggling to carry the hermit on her back, and there were obvious traces of blood along the way, and the blood was still dripping from the hermit.
Cao Zhuo took an arrow step and directly snatched the Tianhermin from Yu'er's back, and was about to bring it into the post house to heal, but he was suddenly stunned, because he saw that the Tianyinke's left arm was missing.
In the post house, Chasing Wind treated the wound of the hermit and stopped the bleeding for the wound of the hermit.
And at this time, Yu'er told Cao Zhuo everything she knew, but it was a very vague impression, she suddenly fainted on the street, and woke up to find that Tianyin was seriously injured.
Of course, there are some things that Yu'er can't say, and she can't say that she hasn't been stunned all the time and watched everything develop, right? In this way, won't the identity be exposed?
Cao Zhuo looked at the chasing wind who came over and asked, "What injury?" ā
"Arrow wounds, and with such powerful arrows, I'm afraid there is only one person."
Cao Zhuo smiled contemptuously: "Desperate arrow, Yan Tao." ā
"Officially." After chasing the wind after answering, he heard the chaotic sound outside the post house, and couldn't help frowning and said, "They won't be bold enough to chase here, right?" ā
Cao Zhuo's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent: "Let's go, go and see what tricks Yan Tao plays." ā
After walking out of the post house, Cao Zhuo and Chasing Feng saw a large number of white tiger sword guards surrounding the post house.
The White Tiger Guard followed the bloodstains on the road to find the post house.
Yan Tao, who had changed a mount, glanced at Cao Zhuo and didn't say anything, but Yan Changqi, the general of the White Tiger Guard, arched his hand to Cao Zhuo and said: "Lord Cao, we are arresting the murderer, hoping to enter the post house to investigate, but unexpectedly stopped by your Jinyi Guard, and I hope that Lord Cao will make it convenient." ā
"Oh? What murderers are arrested, and why has this official never heard of them? Cao Zhuo stared at the other party with a straight face and said.
Without waiting for Yan Changqi to speak, Yan Tao immediately pointed at Cao Zhuo and roared: "The surname Cao wants to shield the criminals? ā
"I don't know, what criminals did this official harbor? Could you please explain one or two things to Commander Yan? Cao Zhuo glared back at Yan Tao without fear.
"What criminals? It's a murderer, and it's also the murderer who killed my son, and it won't be long before my father comes to kill the murderer, I hope you Cao Zhuo don't get in the way, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Yan Tao knew that his name couldn't suppress Cao Zhuo, so he moved Yan Feng's name out.
Yan Yanting is dead? Hey, good death.
Cao Zhuo turned his head to look at Chasing Feng and smiled: "I'm right, with my brother, any case can be easily solved." ā
Chasing the wind is even more admiring: these two brothers are too powerful, right? I checked for so long to find the source to the Yan family, but the hermit has only been here for a few days? directly cut the murderer off, it was simply neat.
"I don't know, why did the Heavenly Hermit kill Ling Gongzi?" Cao Zhuo wanted to know, although he guessed it, but after all, he still heard it with his own ears.
"Why? That day, the hermit was simply a beast, and when he saw that the maid beside the dog was as beautiful as a flower, he moved his crooked heart, and he couldn't pull out a knife to kill someone if he couldn't rob him, and such a person deserved death. Yan Tao said everything accurately, but he didn't expect Yan Tao to subvert the facts and slander the hermit in turn.
