Chapter 60 Wind and Rain

When Liu Xia saw the shopkeeper's fear of committing suicide, she didn't have to ask more questions.

"Catch them all, hand them over to the local government, and let them escort them back to Beijing. Notify the magistrate and guard here immediately. ......."

At present, Liu Xia issued a series of orders.

The imperial army hurriedly put the scene under martial law. After a while, the governor and guard of Guanshandu came in a hurry.

When I heard that it was Prince Weiyuan, I didn't dare to neglect him.

The magistrate of Guanshan City, who is 50 years old, is named Ding Youmin. When he saw Liu Xia, he hurriedly saluted Liu Xia.

At this moment, the guards also arrived in military uniforms with the officers and soldiers guarding the city. Without saying a word, they first controlled all the people involved in the case.

"Lord Ding, I will handle the case by His Majesty's decree. These people are all the people involved in the case. I'm going to take this batch of stolen goods back to Longdu today. Please ask Lord Ding to escort these people involved in the case.

Liu Xia hurriedly helped Ding Youmin up and said.

Ding Youmin thought he was in trouble at first, and he had been scared for a long time. Now he is relieved to hear that he has nothing to do with him.

This case was personally supervised by Prince Weiyuan, and it was also brought by the Royal Forest Army. He knew that it was a big deal. How dare he shirk it?

"Don't worry, Weichen will go back and prepare for the escort."

"Very good. Lord guard, please escort me out of the city.

Liu Xia turned around and said to Wang Hao, who was guarding Guanshan City.

The garrison is the general responsible for the safety of the city.

Control the sanitary stations in various places. Guanshan Ferry is an important port, and naturally there is a garrison.

Wang Hao naturally didn't dare to say anything, but he took a look at the sky and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be surprised. It's already afternoon at this moment. The prince is now out of the city to escort these goods. If he doesn't take the transportation, I'm afraid he will arrive in Minluo City tonight. Isn't it too dangerous to stay overnight?

"Ha ha, it doesn't matter. Thank you, Lord Wang, for your concern. Just do what I tell you to do."

Liu Xia said with a faint smile.

Wang Hao dared to say more and hurriedly ordered people to mobilize the car from the city and command his people to load the goods.

Then under the opening of the officers and soldiers guarding the city, Liu Xia and others were sent out of the city in fear.

After sending more than ten miles, it was already evening, and Liu Xia asked Wang Hao to turn back.

As a result, more than 500 royal forest troops escorted hundreds of carriages and headed in the direction of Longdu.

"I said, brother, why don't you have good luck?"

Dabao doesn't understand. If it goes by luck, it's at least safe. It's really troublesome to work like this.

"Ha ha, I did it on purpose. I just want to see if anyone can't sleep after I robbed this batch of money.

Liu Xia said with a meaningful smile.

Dabao was stunned, and then raised his thumbs and said, "You are still insidious."

It's just that, beyond everyone's expectation, this batch of goods was very safe. After walking all night, there was no wind and no movement.

The next morning, he arrived in Minluo City.

Here, Minluo City is a small city. The local county knows that Prince Weiyuan is coming, which is flattered.

He hurriedly vacated his mansion for Liu Xia to live in.

Everyone was tired for several days. When they arrived at the city, they fell asleep.

Liu Xia sat in the study, looked at the map, and was silent.

Dabao's snoring came one after another, and Cai Wei and Wen Xin also went to rest.

Only Zhang Zong is still with Liu Xia.

"Why doesn't the master take a break?"

Zhang Zong stood behind Liu Xia and asked with concern.

It seems that since the end of Doudan that night, Zhang Zong seems to have changed.

He was silent all day long, just reading Liu Xia's elixir for him and watching silently.

This Danjing was written by Ao Cangqiong. Zhang Zong recognized Liu Xia as a master. Naturally, Liu Xia had to be bold.

Zhang Zong is fascinated by this elixir all day long.

Obviously, when he was young, Zhang Zong, who had a dream in his mind, seemed to be back.

"I walked safely all night yesterday, which made me more and more nervous. You said, if the prince is really the owner and I robbed his money, why didn't he react at all?

Liu Xia said suspiciously.

"The prince is too anxious. Yesterday's incident spread to Longdu, and then issued an order from Longdu to mobilizing people, it would take at least a day and a night to do it. If the prince is really the owner, I don't think he will wait to be killed.

Zhang Zong said.

"No, our enemies know our whereabouts very well. I guess it's the wrong place we went yesterday. It is an official. Once something happens, the officers and soldiers can get there. The enemy dares not act rashly. Tonight, we took the path, which was remote and there. We had to give them a chance to do it. Otherwise, it will be in vain this time."

Liu Xia said.

"But isn't it dangerous?"

"The more dangerous I am, the more I can prove that they feel guilty. It's just that I think this matter seems too simple.

Liu Xia got up with her hands on her back and walked around the study.

"Does the prince think it's too smooth this time?"

"Yes, it's not only smooth, it's simply unimpeded. I always feel that this matter seems too easy. By the way, Zhang Zong, do you use such silver ingots when you hand in their silver every month?

Liu Xia asked curiously.

"I have checked it myself today. The income of the Onmyoji Association will be changed to limited silver, and then we will personally melt it into a silver ingot of this specification. Look at it."

Zhang Zong said and took out a silver ingot on his body.

This silver ingot is ten taels, and the logo of the Onmyoji Association is indeed engraved underneath.

is the same as the silver found today.

It seems that this shadow really comes from the Onmyoji Association.

Moreover, the money was shipped out before it happened to make a fuss about the Onmyoji Association. If they planted the crown prince, it is a little unreasonable. If it is sent out after making a fuss about the Onmyoji Association, it is suspected of being planted.

After all, no one can really be unpredictable.

If this is the inference, there is nothing wrong with this silver from the prince.

So, the prince is undoubtedly the owner of this matter.

However, Liu Xia's disappearance felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong.

"Let me inform you that I will leave Minluo County this evening."

Liu Xia said lightly.

"I'm going to order."

Immediately, Zhang Zong left the study.

Liu Xia lay on the chair with a little fatigue, rested for a moment, and began to practice cross-legged.

In the evening, Liu Xia and the Yulin army set out again.

Only this time, after leaving the city, he left the official road and should take the path.

The official road was built by the imperial court, which is very flat and relatively safe.

After all, there are post stations along the way. Once you find any accident, the post station will report that there are garrison in the cities along the way, and robbers generally dare not be in the official way.

However, you have to pay a certain fee.

There are some unseeable goods, or when you meet a caravan that wants to save money, you will choose the path.

If the money is the prince's, the prince will never let the money return to Longdu.

Otherwise, he can't even tell if he is polite.

As long as there is no proof of death, everything can be hidden from the world.

Liu Xia is sure of this, so he thinks about the prince's people and dares to come. If it doesn't appear, I'm afraid someone is really tampling with this money.

But when it appeared, the prince couldn't get rid of it.

As for these 500 people who can return to Longdu safely, Liu Xia is sure.

He also has a card, and there is Huwei.

Although Liu Xia has not seen Hu Wei yet, the emperor must have something extraordinary about this mysterious army so secret.

There are tiger guards waiting for the opportunity to move on one side. As bait, they are waiting for the prey to be hooked.

If Hu Wei is unreliable, Liu Xia is conceited to have so many masters to escort him, and it is not a big problem to kill him.

After leaving the official road for an hour, the sky was already dim.

Just in October, the weather is getting cooler day by day.

Especially in the dark night, there is already some chills.

Liu Xia rode in the carriage and asked Cai Wei Dabao to play mahjong to pass the time.

Today, Dabao's luck is obviously good. He is already full of white flowers of silver, a big cake face, smiling like steamed buns.

Liu Xia was absent-minded, so she lost the most. Cai Wei and Wenxin won a little.

"It's burnt."

Dabao pushed the mahjong and shouted excitedly, "All the colors, pay quickly."

"** Monk, what did you eat today? Is your luck so good?"

Cai Wei stared at Dabao and reluctantly threw the silver on the table.

Liu Xia looked at the mottled tree shadow outside the car window, took out the map from her sleeve and looked at it and said, "It's almost there."

"Are you there?"

Dabao asked curiously.

"Walk for another quarter of an hour and you will arrive at the barren blind ridge. The vegetation there is lush, the people are few, and the moon is dark and the wind is high. It is a good place to kill people and sell goods.

Liu Xia said with a faint smile.

"Good class, don't play anymore. The poor monk went out to explore the way.

After saying that, Dabao opened the car door and went out.

Liu Xia took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

The carriage is swaying, counting the interest and moving forward.

A quarter of an hour later, it really entered a forest.

The imperial forest army lit the stone lanterns, and more than 500 people in the front and back were also extremely conspicuous.

The car was sparkling, the horse was small, and the disturbing beasts in the forest ran away in a hurry.

After walking in the woods for less than a quarter of an hour, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

It seems that only the creaking friction between the horse's hoof and the axles of the carriage can be heard.

Liu Xia immediately got out of the carriage, changed into a wind-chasing beast, and guarded the side of the convoy.

These imperial troops obviously felt a little strange and became cautious.

Sure enough, less than 50 meters later, a feather arrow suddenly flew from all around, dense, like rain.

At present, several imperial troops fell to the ground from the car.

"Shield Defense!"

At this moment, Liu Liansheng gave an order, and suddenly a face shield was instantly shrouded over the convoy.

The imperial army protects the emperor, so it is well-trained.

The speed and strength of those feathers and arrows don't seem to kill them here, but just scare them and let them move on.

Liu Xia has seen the terrain here. Out of this forest, there is a grass factory outside. It is estimated that these people ambushed in the forest just want to drive them out and let them enter the encirclement.

Liu Xia has guessed this for a long time, so she is not afraid.

"Go out. Rush out."

Immediately, Liu Xia issued an order.

The team began to speed up.

Sure enough, the rain of arrows all over the sky stopped after they accelerated.

I'm afraid the ambush circle outside the woods will be a fierce battle.

"Zhang Zong, go to explore the way."

Liu Xia drank it.

Zhang Zong immediately unfolded his Xuantian wings and rushed straight to the sky in an instant.

"Your Majesty, it's very calm outside the woods."

Zhang Zongfei came back and said.

"Hmm, calm down. Tell the front. Once out of the woods, he will rush out at all costs.

Liu Xia sneered.
