The man in black retreated and left the town overnight, although the town was closed, but the short town wall could not stop these cultivated Jianghu people at all.

"They're gone. ”

In his busyness, Liu Tie came back and only told Tian Hao four words, and then walked straight to the side and took on the work of the guard very responsibly. On the contrary, Tian Geng, who was sent by Tian Ban, searched around the town and found no trace of the man in black, and Tian Hao had to smile helplessly at this scene.

"What's the situation over there?" Tian Hao went over to ask Liu Tie, he was faintly worried, the man in black came to Fu Xian, and he didn't succeed tonight, whether he would do it again on the road behind, this is a question.

However, what Tian Hao was most worried about was why Fu Xian went to see the ancestor of the Wang family this time? Also, what is the identity of these men in black? Jianghu people or internal guards?

Thinking of Neiwei, Tian Hao shuddered, if Neiwei intervened in this matter, then the matter would not be so simple, is it necessary for the Tian family to participate? Or can the Tian family get out of the matter?

"It's fine. Liu Tie's answer was simple.

After a busy night, when it was almost dawn, Tian Hao rested in Liu Tie's room, and his room was given to Tian Ban and them, Liu Tie gave up the room and kept watch by himself for half the night.

The next day, Fu Xian came over again, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Liu Tie, Liu Tie didn't pay attention to it, and stayed within Tian Hao's three zhang very responsibly, ignoring everything else.

"Brother, tell me the truth, what did you do when you went to the Wang family? Who are those men in black?" Tian Hao asked.

Fu Xian smiled bitterly: "Brother Songtao, what can there be, the first King of Qi and the ancestors of the Wang family have made friends, and the world knows that after the prince takes over the throne, there is something strange about interacting with the Wang family." ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, he added: "Those men in black, I also want to know who they are. ”

Tian Hao smiled bitterly in his heart, Fu Xian was obviously unwilling to tell the truth, which made him even more worried, but can the Tian family and the Wang family get rid of the relationship with the King of Qi? He wanted to rush home now and ask Tian Wen how many entanglements the Tian family had with the Wang family.

However, no matter what Tian Wen's answer is, Tian Hao also knows that it is difficult for the Tian family and the Wang family to break clearly, for thousands of years, these gate valve families in Jizhou have long been entangled through marriage and other interests, and it is difficult to completely separate, without shedding the skin, it is impossible at all.

Tian Hao talked to Fu Xian, Fu Xian saw that Tian Hao was in trouble, so he said goodbye and left, Tian Hao simply lay down and slept.

When it was almost noon, Tian Ban came back and told Tian Hao that the temperature dropped last night, and the river was frozen today, and it was estimated that it would be able to freeze in another day.

Tian Hao had no choice but to wait for another day, he wanted to go to the Qinglou, but Tian Ban stopped him and reminded him that those thieves couldn't rob him openly, and if they came to assassinate, it would be even more terrifying, Tian Hao felt that this was reasonable, although those black-clothed people didn't come at him, in case he was angry with himself, he didn't need to touch this mold.

Tian Hao tried to talk to Liu Tie, but Liu Tie didn't talk much, most of the time he said it for a long time, and Liu Tie finally replied with two or three words, which made him very helpless.

After the dawn of the shopkeeper, he called a few carpenters to repair the damaged doors and windows, because a few people died, the town is bringing people to inquire, after seeing the family crest of the Tian family, Li Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, in Jizhou, do not remember the family crest of the thousand-year-old family, no matter what official is not long.

Li is a rough man in his thirties, with a thick-backed knife on his waist, walking with a tiger and a loud voice.

Tian Hao asked his name, Li Zheng replied that his name was Li Yi, Tian Hao was slightly stunned, and asked if it was from Taoguan Li's family, Li Yi shook his head and said, "No, the small one is a local." ”

Tian Hao sighed softly, then smiled, and said in his heart How could someone from the Taoguan Li family be a small leader here.

The chief is not only responsible for local taxes, but also responsible for local security.

Taoguan Li family is the Li family of Taoguan County, belonging to the lower grade of the Shi clan, these three banner towns are under the jurisdiction of Taoguan County, so Tian Hao has this question.

"Mr. Tian, do you want to report to the official?" Li Yi asked tentatively, his expression a little worried.

Tian Hao shook his head understandingly: "No need, I'm afraid the official won't be able to find out, it will only add to the trouble, so don't want it." ”

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, in this cold day, it was reported to the county seat, and the county sent people to come, plus the detention of witnesses to assist in solving the case, this is a big trouble.

After Li Yi finished asking, he glanced at Liu Tie, who was standing on the side very calmly, holding the long knife in his arms, looking at him calmly and indifferently.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely find those thieves. After Li Yi said, Okita Artemisia gave a salute, turned around and left with two townsmen, there were only eight townsmen in the entire town, responsible for the security of the town and the surrounding villagers.

"This man's cultivation is good. Liu Tie said suddenly.

Tian Hao was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Li Yikuan's back, and then smiled, not careless, Tian Ban went to sell a coffin for the family who died in the war, and prepared to pull his body back to Yecheng.

"You're boring. Tian Hao said to Liu Tie.

Liu Tie replied lightly: "Interesting people die quickly. ”

Tian Hao was stunned for a moment, looked at him and frowned, then shook his head with a wry smile.

Fu Xian didn't come over again, Tian Ban quietly went over to see, Fu Xian buried the dead guards in a nearby field.

Liu Tie sighed softly: "I hope they can dig deeper, otherwise in three days, the corpses will be dug up and eaten." ”

Tian Hao was shocked and blurted out: "Impossible!"

Liu Tie didn't argue with him, closed his mouth and remained silent, but Tian Ban lowered his head, and after half a sound, Tian Hao let out a long sigh: "How can this be!"

These two sentences made Tian Hao's mood terrible, and he had no interest in chatting, so he returned to the room and asked Tian Ban to fetch a jar of wine, and also asked others to pour themselves drinks in the room.

The night passed, and the next day, Tian Ban went to investigate in person, and came back at ten o'clock at noon to tell Tian Hao that the river had frozen solid, and he personally led the horse to try, and he could go to the other side.

Tian Hao Wenyan immediately decided to leave the next day, and that night, Fu Xian came over again, still with a jar of wine, and he was also in the courtyard for the past two days, so he didn't go.

Halfway through the drink, Tian Ban reported outside the door, saying that Li Yi asked to see him, Tian Hao was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Li Yi to come again, so he asked what was the matter, Tian Ban said that he came for those thieves.

"Oh, I'm sorry for him, please let him in. Tian Hao was very surprised, he didn't expect this Li Yi to really run to find the thief, and he didn't expect to find it.

"Have you found the lair of the thieves?"

Li Yi came in, Tian Hao didn't wait for him to give a salute, he asked, Li Yi replied calmly: "I found it, it's in Jiufeng Village, eighty miles away from here." ”

"Jiufeng Village?" Fu Xian frowned and asked, "What kind of place is this?"

"This Jiufeng Village is not a cottage," Li Yi explained: "It is nine villages on the edge of Jize Lake, and these nine villages are very close, so they naturally form nine villages, and our locals call them Jiufeng Village." ”

Fu Xian nodded understandingly, and then asked, "Then who are these thieves?"

Li Yi shook his head: "I haven't found out yet, but the surname of the leader, I sneaked in quietly, and I heard that their accent is not like a person from Jizhou, but a little like Jiangnan." ”

"Jiangnan's?" are you sure?" Fu Xian's expression changed slightly, Li Yi thought about it, and nodded affirmatively.

Fu Xian's expression slowly eased, but his brows furrowed even tighter, it is not from Jizhou, it is probably not an internal guard, as long as it is not an internal guard, things will be three points better, but Jiangnan accent, who are these thieves?

"My lord, do you want to send troops to go in and suppress?" Li Yi saw that neither of them spoke, so he cautiously proposed.

"Troop transfer?" Tian Hao looked at him even more unexpectedly, Li Yi nodded, Tian Hao turned his head to Fu Xian and said, "Brother Bowen, I don't have any troops to adjust, what do you see?" Fu Xian raised his head and was about to speak, when his tone suddenly changed: "Forget it, I will cross the river tomorrow, this is not the Qi country, there are only a few people under me," he said and looked at Li Yi and said, "You have bothered, you have worked hard." ”

Li Yi was very disappointed, Tian Hao smiled, took out a silver ticket and threw it to Li Yi, Li Yi's expression changed slightly, but he still took the silver ticket, and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Li Yi turned around and went out, sighed softly outside the door, suddenly his mind moved, his figure quickly flashed to the side, and then turned around, Liu Tie stood on the side, still holding the knife, and nodded slightly at him.

Li Yi looked at him vigilantly, and Liu Tie said lightly: "Your cultivation is good, are you interested in going south with me?"

"Go south with you, who are you?" Li Yi was a little ashamed, Liu Tie was just slightly exposed, but he was frightened and flashed, which seemed a little inexplicable to outsiders, but in the eyes of the master, he had already lost a move.

He immediately concluded that this person was the person with the highest cultivation he had met since he left his division and walked the rivers and lakes.

"In the dismount of the iron. Liu Tie replied.

Li Yi smiled bitterly and clenched his fists and said: "My mother is old, and I dare not leave lightly, so I ask my brother to forgive me." ”

Liu Tie didn't persuade again, Li Yi left disappointed, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and suddenly heard Liu Tie's voice in his ears: "If Brother Li is interested, come to the imperial capital in the future, go to Yousi Inn, and tell the shopkeeper, just find me Ma Tie, and in addition, bring your mother." ”

When Li Yi heard this, his body was slightly stunned, this is a sound transmission into the secret, and he can do it with his cultivation, but it will definitely not be transmitted so far, he hesitated slightly, turned around and hugged his fist at Liu Tie, and then left without saying a word.

Liu Tie's eyes showed a hint of regret, this person is a talent, in this small town, it's a pity.

Obviously, neither Tian Hao nor Fu Xian had any intention of taking revenge, Liu Tie knew that neither of them wanted to make a big deal out of it, Fu Xian had a secret on his body, and his trip was definitely not simple, thinking of the battle for the Yellow River waterway, the King of Qi openly sent people to help Wang and Xu, which shows that the King of Qi and Wang Xu may have some secret agreement, but what did they have a secret agreement? What is the secret of Fu Xian? How did those people know this secret?

A series of question marks appeared in his mind, alas, it is a pity that he does not have the brain of his master, if the master is there, there must be a way to figure it out.

Fu Xian and Tian Hao seemed to have forgotten about the matter again, and the two chatted until after dinner, and Fu Xian did not leave until he held the lamp.

In the afternoon, Liu Tie asked Tian Ban to replace himself, found a room to sleep in, and only got up at dinner, after dinner, he still continued to rest, until ten ten in the middle of the night, he took over Tian Geng, and was on duty in the second half of the night.
