There was a whistling sound in the clear sky, if you don't distinguish carefully, you think it is an ordinary mountain wind, the sound came quickly, in the sky, a ball of flashing golden light, dragging a long light tail from the sky, fell in front of everyone, wrapped in the light golden light outside retracted a flying sword, the flying sword dripped, turned into a sword pill, the ancient Fan Zhenguo opened his mouth and swallowed into his abdomen.

Song Zheng and Ma Daquan hurriedly stepped forward: "Meet the commander!"

Song Zheng smiled again and bowed his hand, and said to Fan Zhenguo: "Fan is good!"

Fan Zhenguo nodded with a smile, and then said, "You guys talk to adults about business." He took a step back, the breath on his body disappeared without a trace, hidden among the people behind Xiao Zhen, Song Zheng obviously saw him, but he still subconsciously wanted to "ignore" this person.

It's no wonder that the last time he met Xiao Zhen, he didn't know anything about this strong man in the town.

Xiao Zhen waved his hand, and a small jade gourd fell in the void, opening a small cave world, enveloping the three of them, and the rest of them waited outside.

This jade gourd is the one that Song Zheng seized before. It's just that after coming in, Song Zheng found that this small cave sky had expanded a lot more than before, and he secretly sighed - his small cave sky has been so long, and he can only rely on the Heaven Creeping Tiger to absorb Yuan energy from the void to expand automatically, and Xiao Zhen has been in his hands for more than ten days, and he has already expanded in a circle.

There was no one else, Xiao Zhen stretched out his hand to Song Zheng, Song Zheng immediately sent the black wood box, Xiao Zhen opened it and took a look, nodded and closed it quietly.

Ma Daquan wanted to look on the side but didn't dare to look at it, looking a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Zhen put away the wooden box and turned his face blank: "Ma Daquan, are you guilty?"

Ma Daquan knelt down with a plop: "The subordinates are not doing well, please punish the adults!"

"You can't exterminate a group of bandits, what's the use of you and Zhenshanwei?"

Ma Daquan shuddered and kowtowed vigorously: "My subordinates don't dare to argue, but please give my subordinates and Zhen Shanwei another chance for the sake of my subordinates who have been diligent for many years." ”

Xiao Zhen snorted: "This is your last chance!"

"My subordinates understand, thank you for your kindness. Ma Daquan shuddered and replied in a deep voice.

"The finch should still be in Xizhou, find the finch within three days, otherwise you will hang up the seal and bind yourself and report to the hell. Xiao Zhen's tone was cold.

Ma Daquan kowtowed: "Subordinates obey orders." ”

"You go out first, Ben will still have something to say to Song Zheng. The words fell, and Ma Daquan had already been withdrawn from the small cave world by him.

Only Xiao Zhen and Song Zheng were left, Xiao Zhen's expression was a lot more relaxed, and he praised with a smile: "The last errand was done well, I didn't expect you to be able to do so well in such a short period of time - Master Shi is extremely accurate." ”

"Adults praise, but also adults support. Song Zheng said modestly.

Xiao Zhen's expression became serious: "But this time the matter is not simple, and this matter is still somewhat related to you." ”

He glanced at Song Zheng strangely, and made Song Zheng a little inexplicable: "It's related to me?"

"The last time the Sword Shrine Fairy entered the Ember Mountain, you also experienced that time. ”

Song Zheng nodded, that time was the time when the Three Emperor Peaks went down to the homeland of the god of death.

"The Sword Shrine Fairy is a famous senior Zhenguo in the ancient country of Huaxu, but she has shot less and less in the past thousand years, do you know why?"

Song Zheng shook his head: "My subordinates don't know." ”

"Because in the court of the ancient country of Huaxu, there is a legend that as long as the sword mound fairy makes a move for the country, a major minister will be lost in the court. ”

Song Zheng was stunned: "Why is this?"

Xiao Zhen also spread his hands: "I don't know, even if Your Excellency the Sword Shrine Fairy is already a senior Zhenguo, she herself can't understand why, she can only explain it as...... Coincidental. But again and again, coincidences, it's not that simple. ”

Song Zheng suddenly interjected and asked, "Is it this time...... The rumors have come true again?"

Xiao Zhen nodded: "Half a month ago, Bao Leishan, the second-in-command of the 'Guchao Gang' in the court of Huaxu Ancient Kingdom, died without a problem, but he was only three hundred and fourteen years old. ”

Wen Xiu, who can do the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is at least at the level of an ancestor, with a longevity of 800 years and above, and Bao Leishan died at the age of more than 300, which is indeed an untimely death.

Xiao Zhen briefly explained to him the situation of the Huaxu Ancient Kingdom court, there are three regions with the most powerful forces, their Guchao region, similar to the Jiangnan of the Celestial Empire, with the land of six states, is the largest force in the court.

In addition to the Guchao Gang, they also have the "Xining Gang" and the "Northland Gang".

Song Zheng still didn't understand: "What does this have to do with us?"

Xiao Zhen sighed: "Our biggest spy in Huaxu Ancient Country is a staff member of Bao Lei Mountain. Bowy Mountain died a mysterious death, despite the sword mound fairy...... The reason exists, and they still have to investigate it, but this investigation has inadvertently implicated our people.

Before the staff member died, he sent out the last news: he had just discovered that the Huaxu Ancient Kingdom was carrying out a large-scale secret spy operation, and he had no time to find out the specific details. But this action reached a critical moment, and they bribed an important minister of our dynasty at the cost of a moth.

One of their secret spies, named Yanque, had infiltrated the Celestial Empire with the Moth, and secretly bribed several sects and families to assist him, preparing to go to the capital to make a deal.

We got the news that this finch was found in Xizhou, and he also seemed to sense the danger, and kept in contact with various forces along the way, as if he wanted to transfer the moth out of his body first, so as not to lose this precious moth after we caught it. ”

Song Zheng nodded secretly, the moths were extremely rare, and most of the important officials of the court were dying, and the hope of eternal life tempted them greatly.

"I ordered Zhenshan Wei to sort out all the forces he had come into contact with in Xizhou, but he didn't find the Dark Moth, and the last thing the Yanque came into contact with was the Xiaoshan bandits, so I judged that the Dark Moth might be in the hands of the Xiaoshan bandits. ”

The bird wants to separate people and money, it doesn't matter if he dies, as long as the moth is still there, the ancient country of Huaxu can send someone to complete the task, but there is only one moth.

Unexpectedly, he escaped by himself, but the Moth fell into the hands of Long Yiwei.

Song Zheng said: "In order to confuse our sight, there should be a lot of forces that the swallow bird has come into contact with along the way. ”

"There are five in Xizhou, and the first four towns and mountains have all been inspected, and there is nothing suspicious, they are all hidden actions.

And among these forces, the strength of the Xiaoshan bandits is not outstanding. ”

Song Zheng's heart moved: "Is the adult suspicious of Ma Daquan?"

"Zhenshan Wei 800 captains, can't catch the two thousand rabble Xiaoshan bandits, can I not doubt it?" Xiao Zhen said: "But this is just a suspicion, you can't take Ma Daquan because of this, you are secretly staring at the point." ”

"Yes. He agreed, and added, "But...... Can you let your subordinates do this errand properly?"

Xiao Zhen smiled: "If you want benefits, just say it, you are not very old, and there are a lot of twists and turns in your heart." ”

Song Zheng smiled a little embarrassedly, it was really easy to talk to smart people. What he was worried about was that he was secretly spying on Ma Daquan, what if he really found out that Ma Daquan had a problem and Xiao Zhen was not around? Everyone was a thousand households, he was younger, and his qualifications were not as good as Ma Daquan, so why should he suppress Ma Daquan? Is it really only his own strength to be tough?

Xiao Zhen wants him to do this errand, so he has to make him justified.

Xiao Zhen said: "Originally, if you solved Bai Laoqi's case, you should have been rewarded, but the time was too short to have time." Then take advantage of this opportunity...... Add you as the inspector of the Longyi Guard of the five states in the south of the Yangtze River, supervise the affairs of the five states of the guard, and the position is above the thousand households. ”

"Lord Xie!" Song Zheng bowed to Xie Cheng, this position was temporarily added by Xiao Zhen, it belongs to the internal changes of Long Yiwei, there is no need to report to the imperial court, Xiao Zhen's words are enough.

In fact, Long Yiwei himself is his hall, except for important duties such as commanding Tongzhi, which need to be reported to the Son of Heaven for approval, other "small things" do not need to alarm our Majesty. The Son of Heaven was too busy with lewd pleasures to deal with state affairs.

Xiao Zhen discussed with him again: "Above the court, there are only a few important ministers who will die, but I can't be sure who it is. No matter who it is, if it is really bought by the ancient kingdom of Huaxu, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Song Zheng nodded, knowing the stakes.

The Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty and the Huaxu Ancient Kingdom have fought continuously in history, and the most recent one is the duel between Helian Lie and Yun Chijing. And now, the last famous general of the Celestial Empire, General Helian, has passed away, and no one in the entire Hongwu Celestial Dynasty is the opponent of the "Heavenly Evil" Yun Chijing.

"You rule the five states in the south of the Yangtze River, let go and do it boldly. In Xizhou, there are several forces that you should pay attention to, they may have been bought by the Huaxu Ancient Kingdom: the four that Yanque had contacted before were the Xucheng Gang, Beijuyuan, Duanyang Chongdao Clan and Honghe Faction;

In Huzhou, the third generation of the One Lake and Two Sects, the Gou Chen family has always been low-key, but in fact, it is not very honest, so you should pay attention to it.

These are all people who are secretly answering the finches. ”

Song Zheng nodded: "My subordinates have written it down." ”

"It's best to catch the bird's nest in Jiangnan, so that I can have a few more points in the Jingshi, maybe I can also make a layout and lure Huaxu Guguo into the palace!"

Song Zheng cocked his thumb, the trick of not wanting money was learned from Lei Minzhi: "The adult is wise, and he sees thousands of miles!"

Xiao Zhen scolded with a smile: "Get out, it's insincere." ”

Song Zheng also scratched his head embarrassedly, reflecting on it, indeed...... It's a bit blunt and unobtrusive.

"There's one more thing......" he took out the wooden box from his bosom again, "you can keep this moth." ”

"Me?" Song Zheng was surprised.
