After leaving Kang Chengxun's head, Li Ye and Song Jiao sneaked in the mountains and forests for a while, came to a ridge, watched Kang Chengxun's entourage, took off his head, and became angry in the same place, using magic to break countless trees, in the shining white light, they hesitated for a moment, and as Li Ye expected, they retreated one after another.

In July, the night is fine most of the time, and the same is true today, with the mountains and forests bathed in clear light. Song Jiao sat down on a raised mountain rock and breathed a sigh of relief, she was not afraid that she would not be able to cope with the pursuit, but she was worried that after the other party did not catch up, it would be difficult for Li Ye's cultivation to retreat.

took out the cigarette gun on her waist, Song Jiao skillfully rolled the tobacco leaves, lit it and smashed it, and when she spit out the smoke ring, she looked intoxicated.

Li Ye sat down beside Song Jiao and rested temporarily: "Presumably at this moment, Lin Zhong and Lao Qi have already made arrangements, right?"

Song Jiao glanced at Li Ye, and her eyes were strange: "I just killed Kang Chengxun, and I haven't been out of danger yet, so I'm worried about others?"

Li Ye said: "Pretending to be these two people is a last resort, with today's events, they naturally can't appear in front of people anymore, including their families, they must be properly arranged, at least to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and will not be bullied." ”

Song Jiao pouted: "Long-winded." Lin Zhong and Lao Qi are both arranged in the manor outside the city, rest assured, as long as you don't lose power, they will always live comfortably. Lao Li would never ask about these little things. ”

Anwangfu also has land, and if there is land, there will naturally be a manor.

It's not the first time Li Ye has heard Song Jiao call Li Xian Lao Li, and he didn't feel strange, he smiled: "Father doesn't ask, because he understands you and knows that you can do things impeccably, so I'm worse and don't know you well enough." ”

Song Jiao smoked a cigarette and looked at the mountains and forests a little distracted: "Then you have to understand quickly." ”

Li Ye smiled: "If I want to know more, I have to give you a chance." ”

Song Jiao retracted her gaze and glanced at Li Ye: "Little pervert, what kind of crooked idea are you playing, and you want to tease the old lady?"

Li Ye spread his hands and said innocently: "If you are like this, you can't chat, after getting along for so long, haven't you noticed that I am really pure?"

Song Jiao snorted and dismissed: "The old lady has eaten more salt than you have ever eaten, what kind of virtue a man is, the old lady knows it clearly." ”

Li Ye sighed: "Don't keep calling yourself an old lady, how pure I am, how young you are." ”

Song Jiao put away the cigarette stick: "Then I'm afraid that I have been buried in the loess mound for I don't know how many years." ”

The two of them spoke, stood up one after another, and prepared to continue their journey, this place is still some distance away from Chang'an, but now rush back, Li Ye can still catch up with tomorrow morning before Yingmao, squinting for an hour.

It's just that before the two of them left, Song Jiao took the lead in stopping, grabbed Li Ye, shook her head at him gently, and looked not far in front of her with a wary expression.

The two of them stood still, not for a moment, a few zhang away in front of them, there was a group of people from behind the forest, the number was not much, only seven or eight people, looking at their appearance, they were all brocade clothes and jade belts, undoubtedly people with official status, and then look at their demeanor, they all have the demeanor of masters.

To Li Ye's surprise, in this group of people, he found an alien face, that is, a grassland person.

The leader is a middle-aged man, and he is the only one who does not have a brocade coat and jade belt, but wears a green shirt, facing elegant, but his eyebrows are powerful, and he has obviously been in a high position for a long time.

"Although Kang Chengxun deserves to die, he never thought that he would die at the hands of two post guards. The two of you have done this for the heavens, why don't you dare to show your true colors, so that I can wait to see the demeanor?" The man in the green shirt stood with his hands in his hands, and he stood relatively high, so he was condescending at the moment.

Li Ye didn't speak, he is still dressed as a small servant, in comparison, the older man pretended to be Song Jiao is more suitable for answering with the other party.

"If you want to thank us, then you don't have to, just get out of the way, if you want to stop us and ask the court for merit and reward, just do it. Song Jiao sneered.

The man in the green shirt smiled: "You and I meet in Pingshui, how can we thank each other and kill each other?"

Song Jiao said disdainfully: "At first glance, you are not from the Central Plains, you must be from the north, not to mention that there are grassland people with you? In the three towns of Hebei, are you subordinate to the Lulong Festival envoy of Youzhou, or are you subordinate to the envoy of the Chengde Festival of Zhenzhou? In my opinion, it is more likely that Youzhou is still adjacent to the grassland, and there are many grassland people in the army, and there are grassland barbarians even among the monks. ”

"Since you are from the three towns of Hebei, if you want to say that you have no holiday with Kang Chengxun, the ghosts will not believe it, today the two of us are slashing Kang Chengxun, isn't it just to help you? If it is not bad, you are here to kill Kang Chengxun, right? ”

From the southeast of the river to Luoyang, through the territory of the Wei Bo Jiedu envoy, regardless of whether the other party is the Wei Bo Jiedu envoy or not, it is impossible to start in the territory of the Wei Bo Jiedu envoy, and leave the Wei Bo Jiedu envoy to cross the Yellow River to the south, you can quickly arrive in Luoyang.

The man in the green shirt listened to Song Jiao's words, his chin was silent, and the monks behind him all showed an awe-inspiring look, obviously what Song Jiao said, even if it was not all right, was partly right.

"That being the case, we should really thank you, so why kill each other?" said the man in the green shirt with a smile after half a sound.

"It's not pleasant. "If Song Jiao is really a man, she will spit at this time, "Kang Chengxun is sitting in Hedong, originally to balance the three towns of Hebei and Li Guochang, and now that he is dead, it is difficult to ensure that the imperial court will not suspect you." Kill us, or capture us, force us to find out our identity, and then throw it to the government, and the truth of this matter will be revealed, and you will naturally not be suspected. ”

Speaking of this, Song Jiao leaned at the other party: "If you want to do it, just do it, don't delay me to go back to sleep." ”

The man in the green shirt fell silent again.

"What is it to talk so much nonsense with them, this guy is so arrogant, he will be angry when he looks at it, it is better to just do them!" Behind the man in green shirt, a big man said angrily.

The man in the green shirt was silent.

Li Ye took a deep breath, secretly mobilized his aura, and was already ready to take out Lu Gujian and fight with the other party.

Song Jiao sneered and said: "Look at your timid appearance, where is you worthy of the domineering style of the three towns of Hebei, could it be that you are not under the command of the envoy of the three towns of Hebei, but the person who made Li Guochang the envoy of the Zhenwu Festival? It seems that you are indeed Li Guochang's people, and only his people will grind like this. ”

As she spoke, Song Jiao suddenly shouted: "Do it or not, give a happy word!"

"General!" The big man behind the man in the green shirt couldn't help but make a move.

The man in the green shirt waved his hand to stop the big man's actions, he glanced at Song Jiao deeply, and smiled undiminishedly: "Kang Chengxun fish and meat people, scourge Hedong, and people with lofty ideals in the world can be killed." If you kill it, you will be a hero. Since the two of them are heroes, how dare they offend?"

The man in the green shirt clenched his fists: "There will be a period later." ”

With that, he turned around and left.

The people behind him were a little stunned, but the attitude of the man in the green shirt had already shown that they could only obey the order, followed one after another, and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Li Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but glance at Song Jiao.

"See what?"

Li Ye shook his head and sighed lightly: "It seems that I don't know enough about you." ”

Song Jiao's strength is not only strong in cultivation, but also strong in mental means, if not, how can he eliminate a fierce battle in a few words, so that the other party is willing to retreat?

Since the other party has appeared, he obviously has the intention to make a move.

After all, Song Jiao was Li Xian's arm, had a commanding past, and had the strength to move the rivers and lakes.

On the way back to Chang'an, Song Jiao said to Li Ye: "This group of people should be the envoys of the Lulong Festival in Youzhou." ”

Li Ye said: "A few years ago, when the Pang Xun Rebellion was suppressed, Zhu Xie, the general of Yinshan, led the brave cavalry of the Shatuo tribe, and made great contributions in Xiangyang and Huainan one after another. ”

"The three towns of Hebei have ruled the land of Hebei for many years, and now they have suddenly added a Zhenwu Festival envoy, which is naturally what the three towns did not want to see. It is also thanks to Li Guochang's Shatuo cavalry that is brave and good at fighting, the elite of the Yinshan garrison is abnormal, and the masters are like clouds, and the three towns of Hebei cannot suppress it, which makes it big. But over the years, with the growing power of Li Guochang, the three towns of Hebei are afraid, this time Li Guochang secretly plotted against Kang Chengxun, and the three towns of Hebei naturally want to take the opportunity to do something. ”

"The three towns of Weibo, Lulong, and Chengde Hebei, and the Lulong Festival envoy in Youzhou, have the most borders with Li Guochang and the greatest conflict of interests, so it is not surprising that this time the Lulong Jie envoy sent monks to hunt down Kang Chengxun and wanted to blame Li Guochang for this matter. ”

Li Ye was silent for a moment and continued: "The three towns of Hebei, plus Li Guochang, do not obey the orders of the imperial court, and there are internal disputes below, this was originally an opportunity for the imperial court to balance Hebei, but unfortunately, the current imperial court, the emperor is mediocre, only cares about pleasure, ministers and party disputes, and has no intention of social affairs, so he can't take care of these anymore." ”

Song Jiao smiled: "You are blunt. ”

Li Ye now understands in vain that the reason why Song Jiao was able to let the group of masters retreat in a few words was nothing more than to grasp three points.

First, he showed that he knew everything about the court and Hebei, in order to show his extraordinary identity, so that the men in green shirts were jealous, thinking that they were from the court forces, and further thought that Kang Chengxun's death was due to the party struggle of the court, and at the same time, he did not dare to act easily.

Second, after many temptations, it was determined that the other party was likely to be the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, so he deliberately said that the other party was Li Guochang's person, so that the other party thought that they would return the matter to the big man behind him, so that he was dissatisfied with Li Guochang and caused the imperial court to put pressure on Li Guochang.

Third, the attitude is tough and full of confidence. After the man in the green shirt suspected that Song Jiao and Li Ye were extraordinary, seeing their attitude, he would also be jealous of whether they secretly had someone to answer, even if they made a move, they might not be pleased, and they might even expose their identities.

The left and right Kang Chengxun is dead, and there is no need for the man in the green shirt and others to take the risk of going out of the way, so it is not surprising to retreat.
