A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1138

[Chapter 1128 Letter]

Wei Shutong was impassioned, but Qi Ning disagreed, thinking that such a shocking incident happened in Xichuan, even if someone deliberately blocked the news, but you, as the prefect of Xichuan, knew nothing about it, it was a breach of duty.

“Mr. Wei, I personally think that the murderer who slaughtered Heiyan Cave this time should be the same group of people who rebelled against Heiyan Cave last time.” Qi Ning said coldly, “The real murderer who framed Heiyan Cave and rebelled last time. , have not yet been identified, but they have apparently been operating in Xichuan.”

Wei Shu looked ashamed and said: “This is all due to the incompetence of the lower official. The lower official has also been investigating the case, hoping to find the real murderer behind the scenes, but…!”

“Forget it.” Qi Ning waved his hand, “How is Li Hongxin doing recently?”

Wei Shutong hurriedly said: “After his son died, Li Hongxin stayed in the Prince of Shu’s mansion all the time, thanking guests behind closed doors. Xiaguan has been sending people to pay attention to what’s going on there, and indeed no one has visited the Prince’s Mansion. The upper and lower officials are also very honest, and the lower officials heard that Li Hongxin recites scriptures day and night in the Buddhist hall of the King of Shu every day, and only eats three meals a day, so it looks like he is a monk at home.”

“This person is not that honest.” Qi Ning said indifferently, “Is there any news from Yinghe Villa? Has the owner of Villa Lu also disappeared?”

Wei Shutong nodded and said, “Yinghe Villa is empty, and the villa is deserted.”

“By the way, as far as I know, the Captain Xuanyuan of Shenhou Mansion is still in Xichuan, do you know that?” Qi Ning stared at Wei Shutong: “Does he maintain contact with you?”

“Xuanyuan Colonel?” Wei Shutong was startled again, and said strangely: “Guo Gong, Xuanyuan Colonel has already returned to the capital, don’t you know? When he left, he also bid farewell to the lower official, could it be… ..!”

Qi Ning was stunned, but also somewhat surprised.

Qi Ning got the news from the Shenhou Mansion that Xuanyuan Po had been working in Xichuan all the time, so he even missed Ximen Zhanying’s marriage. He thought that since Xuanyuan Po stayed in Xichuan, he would still have some connection with Wei Shutong, but he didn’t want Wei Shutong. Shu Tong actually said that Xuanyuan Po had already returned to Beijing.

In this way, Xuanyuan Po is not in Xichuan at all, and the Shenhou Mansion’s claim that Xuanyuan Po is in Xichuan is just a cover up?

Or, Xuanyuan Po deceived Wei Shutong and has been hiding in Xichuan?

Qi Ning was suspicious, but he didn’t have time to ask more about these things at this time, so he got up and said, “I originally wanted to come over and ask you about the situation, since Lord Wei doesn’t know the news about the Black Rock Cave, I can only go first. Look at the situation.”

“Guo Gong, there are rebel bandits who murdered and set fire in Heiyan Cave. After he was appointed, he realized that the crime deserved death.” Wei Shutong immediately said, “I will mobilize troops and horses to go to round up the rebel bandit.”

“I’m only afraid that they would have withdrawn long ago.” Qi Ning said, “This time when I came to Xichuan, they must have already received the news. Since they knew that I would find Mr. Wei to lead the troops, naturally they would not stay there and wait for us to pass. .”

Wei Shu Tong said: “The subordinate officers dispatched troops to go there, firstly, to find the traces of those rebel bandits as much as possible, and secondly, to protect the prince.”

Qi Ning wanted to protect me, but it was useless, but when he thought about the incident in Heiyan Cave, the owner of the cave was killed, and the whole Heiyan Cave must be frightened. , should be able to stabilize people’s hearts to some extent, nodding: “You mobilize your troops immediately, we will go to Heiyan Cave immediately!”

Wei Shutong didn’t delay, he stepped back, and after a while, he came over and said, “Guo Gong, the subordinate ordered Yao Siyuan to mobilize five hundred elite soldiers to go there, and the subordinate will go with the Guo Gong.”

“You have a lot of official duties, and things are not yet clear. I will go and see what the situation is.” Qi Ning said: “If you need support, you can lead your troops there and hand over five hundred people to me.”

Wei Shutong hurriedly said: “Xiaguan obeys the will of the Duke.”

Yao Siyuan was Wei Shutong’s number one general, and the 500 elite soldiers were also the guards of Wei Shutong’s governor’s house. No matter in terms of combat power or equipment, they were not comparable to other Xichuan soldiers, but Qi Ning knew a little about Yao Siyuan. Heiyan Cave was slandered and rebelled, and Wei Shutong sent troops to encircle and suppress it.

The commander-in-chief is Yao Siyuan.

Yao Siyuan was in his 40s, with a strong back and a strong waist. At first glance, he was a battle-hardened general. When he saw Qi Ning, he immediately visited him. Qi Ning didn’t have time to say more, and ordered Yao Siyuan to accompany him with 500 elite soldiers.

When they left the city, it was already dark, and after meeting with the hundred men led by Duan Canghai, they lit torches and rushed towards Heiyan Cave overnight.

Heiyan Cave is not close to Jinguan City. Everyone rushed to use some dry food along the way. Before dusk of the next day, they had reached Heiyanling. The mountains of Heiyanling were undulating and yellow grass was everywhere. The more difficult it is, there are even many places where there are no roads to go. Fortunately, when the previous encirclement and suppression of Heiyanling, Yao Siyuan sent people to find out the terrain around Heiyanling, and Ximu is a person from Heiyandong. The terrain is even more familiar. As a guide, he led his troops and horses to the main ridge of Heiyanling.

Qi Ning led the troops here to stabilize people’s hearts, but he also knew that the Miao people had always rejected officers and soldiers. They did not let soldiers and horses enter the mountain, but only let them stand by at the foot of the mountain, and ordered Qi Feng to lead a few people to follow him into the mountain. .

Xi Mu led Qi Ning and the others to the stockade before it got dark. Before entering the stockade, Qi Ning felt that the atmosphere was not right. He had been to Heiyan Cave before, and he had seen the hard-working and simple people in the stockade, but he had not been able to get there. On the top of the mountain, there are rare people along the way. I only walked to the village of Bayeli. Finally, I saw many Miao people sitting on the ground in groups of three or five. They all looked sluggish, as if they were too frightened. .

When everyone saw Ximu bringing Qi Ning and others into the village, they stood up one after another, and their eyes fell on Qi Ning. Xi Mu said loudly: “Don’t worry about it, Guo Gong…… our The savior is here!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from not far in front of him: “Xizhaizhu, Xizhaizhu…!” In the voice, a group of people quickly greeted him, and Xi Mu stepped forward and said: ” I invited Jin Yihou over, and the great savior is here!”

He already knew that Qi Ning was named Jinyi Hou, but the Miao family in Heiyan Cave didn’t know about it. He knew that if the Duke of Guo was here at this time, everyone would not know who it was.

The group of people looked at Qi Ning, and they all ran forward, knelt on the ground, Qi Ning quickly helped an old man in the lead, and said, “Get up, where is Eve?”

The old man was over sixty years old and was helped up by Qi Ning, and said in a trembling voice: “Master Hou, you…you go into the house to see something, we…we have been waiting for you to come!”

Qi Ning didn’t know what the old man wanted to let him see, but Xi Mu had already said, “This is the owner of Qingquan Village, Mangwu Father!”

“Father Mangwu!” Qi Ning bowed his hands without any pretence.

Mang Wu hurriedly said: “I dare not dare.” He raised his hand and said, “Please!”

Qi Ning followed behind Mangwu’s father, and the group arrived at the stilted building where Bayeli lived before. Although Mangwu’s father was old, but his body was still neat, he led Qi Ning upstairs. A flagpole, Qi Ning glanced at it and found that there was blood on the flagpole.

Yeli’s head was cut off and hung on the flagpole. Could it be this flagpole?

Entering the room, Qi Ning glanced at it, there was no trace of Eve, an ominous premonition came to his mind, Father Mangwu walked to the small table in the room, took a letter from the table, and said: “Master Hou, this was discovered early this morning. We were looking for Eve to discuss things last night, but we haven’t found any trace of her. Everyone thought that something might have happened, and they searched for it all night. Early this morning, someone found it here. There is this letter on the table, we don’t know if Eve stayed, but some people say it is not Eve’s handwriting.”

Qi Ning glanced at it, the letter was written with the words “Qining personally received”, other than that, there was not a single extra handwriting.

Qi Ning frowned, opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and just glanced at it, his face was slightly discolored, and everyone around saw Qi Ning’s expression and looked at each other, and they all guessed that things might be bad.

There is not much content in the letter, only two short lines.

If you want to save her life, Fengjian Villa will save people, bring one more person, and kill without mercy!

It adds up to only twenty words, and there is no signature, but the meaning is very obvious. Of course, this letter will not be left by Eve. In this letter, it is said that Eve has been arrested by them. , If you want to save Eve’s life, you must go to Fengjian Villa to save people.

Fengjian Villa!

On the way here, Qi Ning was worried about Eve’s safety. She didn’t find any trace of Eve when she arrived this time. Although she was worried, she had already made psychological preparations before, but the other party asked Qi Ning to go to Fengjian Villa to save people. Qi Ning was taken aback.

Of course, Qi Ning knew where Fengjian Villa was.

Fengjian Villa used to be a famous place in Xichuan. The Xiang family is also a martial arts family in Xichuan. The Chengying Sword owned by his family is one of the ten famous swords.

Xiang Baiying, the leader of the beggar gang, came from Fengjian Villa, and he inherited the title of Fengjian Villa at the beginning, but he was trapped by love. Both Fengjian Villa and Fengjian Villa were handed over to Lu Shanghe, and since then they have gone away, and Fengjian Villa has become Lu Shanghe’s property.

At the beginning, Qi Ning followed Xiang Baiying to Fengjian Villa. It was located in a remote place, and there were almost no people within a radius of twenty miles. It was built on a very high terrain, and the villa could overlook the surrounding scenery.

After Lu Shanghe obtained Fengjian Villa, he did not regard Fengjian Villa as a place to live. Instead, he built another Yinghe Villa. Over the years, Fengjian Villa, which was originally a great shock to Xichuan, has long lost its glory, but Lu Shanghe’s Yinghe. The villa has become one of the eight gangs and sixteen sects, and is famous for moving the land of Shu.

Qi Ning never imagined that the group of people would let themselves go to Fengjian Villa alone to make an appointment to rescue Eve.

Lu Shanghe!

Of course Qi Ning would think of this person at this time.

The East China Sea annihilated the Jiang family, putting out a huge conspiracy in the hidden danger, while Lu Shanghe was in the East China Sea at the time, when the East China Sea division annihilated the Jiang family’s power at sea, Lu Shanghe escaped in the chaos and his whereabouts are unknown.

At this time, Qi Ning had already thought that since the other party was in Fengjian Villa, the relationship between Lu Shanghe could not be put aside for this incident.

At this time, he also confirmed once again that he had always suspected that a huge force in the state of Chu was hiding in the darkness and plotting an unspeakable secret. Strong, I’m afraid it’s far from my estimated value.
