Asking for a monthly ticket Chapter 872 Traveling through a country When Chen Xiaoru went out, he rubbed his wrinkled brow and sighed slightly. Cui Zhongzhen, who went out with him, glanced at him and asked: "Why, I feel like this is a bit of a headache. ?" Chen Xiaoru shook his head: "I think those who spread evil cults are in trouble. I have rarely seen him so angry after following the master for so long. I will go back to mobilize the manpower and then I will come back tomorrow morning. Let's set off. We have to send people to explore the road tonight. I can't know what my lord asked me after I arrived in An County. " Cui Zhongzhen sighed: "The work of the Xiao Riding School is really hard. " Chen Xiaoru smiled: " Enjoy it too." Cui Zhongzhen was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "That's the best thing." Chen Xiaoru clasped his fists and left first. After returning, he picked up some capable people and rushed to Anxian overnight. That place is 800 miles away from the Zhuque Mountain Camp. It is at the junction of Huangyang Road and Beihui Road. It used to be a place where no one cares about, but since Beihui Road was taken over by the Black Flag Army, the security has gradually improved. Early the next morning, Fang Jie changed into dry clothes and clapped his hands. A white lion swooped in from a distance, holding a hare caught from nowhere in its mouth and swallowed it whole in three mouthfuls. Then he lowered his body and waited for Fang Jie to come up. Outside the door, 500 elite soldiers of the infantry battalion and 200 riders of the cavalry school have been prepared. After Fang Jie went out, the seven hundred elites all performed military salutes and then got on their horses. The Jingbu Camp and the Xiao Riding School are all equipped with the best horses from the Western Regions. The horses are like dragons and the people are majestic. They look as powerful as a rainbow. The soldiers of the Jingbu Battalion wear dark blue uniforms with black leather armor outside. They are equipped with long guns, horizontal knives, repeating crossbows, and recently, each person is equipped with a short gun. The members of the Knight Riding School wear dark blue brocade clothes and bright red cloaks, and their equipment is basically the same as that of the Jingbu Camp. These seven hundred men and horses gathered together can be described in four words: mighty and majestic. Fang Jie rode out on a white lion and rushed out first, followed by 700 elites. After the team left the camp, they ran eastward along the official road. Pedestrians on the road looked sideways when they saw the team passing by. Especially the bright red battle flag held high in the front is so eye-catching. The people of Huangyang Road have become accustomed to living under the protection of the Black Flag Army, and they have a sincere respect for the Black Flag Army. When the people working in the fields saw the team passing by, some of them cheered involuntarily. A little boy who looked to be only six or seven years old was standing on the side of the road. He looked at the passing team and raised his right arm across his chest to perform a military salute. The expression on his face was so solemn. There were no disturbances along the way, and the team arrived in Anxian County in seven days. A quick charge of light cavalry, more than a hundred miles a day is actually not too fast. The people who came first from the Xiao Riding School were waiting along the way to meet him. By the time they arrived in An County, the news had basically been found out clearly. Although it was not the first time for Qianhu from the Riding School named Liao Sheng to meet Fang Jie, he was still a little nervous and restrained. The first was that he felt a little overwhelmed in front of Fang Jie, and the second was that the white lion was too majestic and intimidating. There is no ordinary person among the people who can live in a thousand households in the Riding School, so just calling one out must be something special. This Liao Sheng¡¯s greatest skill is tracking and exploring. Speaking of which, if Big Dog was still around, no one else would have the job. After Big Dog passed away, Chen Xiaoru accidentally discovered such a talent in the Riding School and gradually promoted him. Now it is one of the 12,000 households in Xiaoqiu School. That¡¯s right, the Xiao Riding School now has twelve thousand households, which is an astonishing scale. What you need to know is that the intelligence organization that spreads all over the world is not included in the Xiaoqi Riding School. This shows that Fang Jie attaches great importance to intelligence. "My lord, the information has almost been found out." After Liao Sheng saluted, he sorted out what he should say in his mind. Chen Xiaoru had told him before that when reporting to his lord, he should try to be concise and to the point, and don't talk nonsense. "Twenty days ago, General Xiahou led his troops through An County, preparing to wipe out the cult along the way. The army broke into a village where cultists gathered and captured more than 300 people, including four of the bandit leaders. After General Xiahou interrogated them, he beheaded them in public in An County. That night, thieves sneaked into the military camp to assassinate the generals. Two generals of the fifth rank, General Guo Yilang from the fourth rank, and General Ying Yanglang from the fourth rank were killed. General Xiahou was seriously injured, but he had woken up a few days ago. " He glanced at Fang Jie and found that his lord was listening very seriously, and then continued: "Before my lord set off, the Protector ordered his subordinates to conduct a preliminary investigation. After the subordinates inquired, they were able to confirm that the assassin was the leader of the cult. There was someone there that night. Twelve to fifteen people sneaked into the military camp, intending to assassinate more generals, because when they assassinated General Xiahou, they were noticed by the Xiaoqi School and the Jianghu people accompanying the army, and they immediately retreated.?. " "There are 16,000 people in Anxian County. After investigation, at least 30% of them have joined the cult. The subordinates are limited in manpower and cannot conduct house-to-house inspections. However, before the subordinates came down, General Xiahou's subordinates had already captured all the people who believed in the cult. , are all locked up in the county government office of Anxian County, and some are also in prison. " "The information we have now speculates that the leader of the thieves fled the county town of An County after the assassination. However, my subordinates sent people to interrogate the official roads out of An County. No one saw the suspicious people leaving, so my subordinates determined that these assassins are still in An County. within the territory. An County has five large towns, 12 small towns, and 166 villages, with a total population of 190,000. " Liao Sheng paused and said: "My subordinates have marked the villages where the thieves may be hiding on the map, and people have been sent to investigate the nearest villages. " Fang Jie took the map and took a look at it: "Well done. It is not easy to straighten out the most basic things in a short period of time. Tell Chen Xiaoru the situation in detail. I want to see Xia Hou first. " Liao Sheng quickly agreed, followed Fang Jie, and whispered the more detailed situation to Chen Xiaoru. "" I'm afraid he was also doomed. The wound was on his left chest. If he hadn't reacted quickly at that time, his heart would have been broken. Seeing Fang Jie come in, Xiahou Baichuan struggled to sit up, and Fang Jie hurried over to help him: " Lie down and talk. " Someone came over and moved a stool next to the bed. Fang Jie sat down and asked, "How do you feel? " But my subordinate was lucky enough to avoid that blow. Among the Jianghu people accompanying the army were people with superb medical skills. Thanks to his diagnosis and treatment, there was no serious problem. " Fang Jie nodded: "Recuperate well, I won't let your blood flow in vain. " He looked at Xiahou Baichuan's injuries. Because they were wrapped in gauze, it was impossible to identify the method of injury: "What did the person who assassinated you look like at that time? Do you remember how to take action? " I was startled and quickly got up and walked out. When I opened the curtain, I saw a masked man in black clothes standing outside. It was at the moment I went out that he pointed at my subordinate's heart. The subordinate reacted in time and moved to one side. The energy pierced the subordinate's body, and there was a bloody hole on his back" "Finger Jin? " Fang Jie's mind suddenly flashed back to meeting the handsome and handsome monk Chen Ya in Chang'an City. What impressed Fang Jie the most was Chen Ya's fingering. " Did the assassin cover his face? " Fang Jie asked. Xiahou Baichuan nodded: "Only one pair of eyes is exposed. Fang Jie sneered and said, "That's the case, but it's a mistake." If he was a normal man, why would he even cover his head? The reason why they even cover the top of their heads is because most of these people don't dare to let others see the difference on their tops. " "My lord also suspects that he is from the Buddhist sect? " Xiahou Baichuan said: "After my subordinates woke up, they also suspected that it was someone from the Buddha Sect. When the cultists were being suppressed before, my subordinates looked through the scriptures spread among the cultists, and found that many of the things in them were very similar to those preached by Buddhism. Moreover, after Meng Yuan destroyed Buddhism, a large number of Buddhist disciples poured into the northwest. It is said that Jin Shixiong recruited many Buddhist disciples to work for him and acted extremely domineeringly. " "Yes" Fang Jie nodded: "You should have a good rest first. When your injury is better, I will send someone to send you back to Zhuque Mountain to recuperate. For the defense of Xinyang City, I have transferred Lieutenant General Li Tai of the Flying Leopard Army to come over as soon as possible. You don't have to worry about anything anymore. In addition, I have ordered Qilin and Nalan Dingdong to lead the firearms battalion out of the Zhuqueshan camp and reach Xinyang by water. " "I feel guilty for missing my lord's important event. " The people of the cult made you bleed, and I will avenge you by slaughtering them all. " The assassins are most likely hiding in Jiuzhai, Liu'an, and Chencun. These villages are all at the junction of Beihui Road. After leaving the village, you will enter Beihui Road to the south. The subordinates suspected that the thief's lair was actually in Beihui Road. ¡± "Which one is the closest?" Fang Jie asked. "Chencun!" Chen Xiaoru said: "It's thirty-six miles away from An County. If you ride lightly, you can get there in half a day." "Then let's go to Chencun." Fang Jie turned over and jumped on the white lion, turned around and said: "Li Tai, what's going on now?" I'll give you 60,000 troops to command. I'll give you one day to block all the roads in An County. If you encounter anyone suspicious, don't take action. Just see where they are going!" "Here!" General Li came to take over the team with Fang Jie Tai Baoquan said: "I'll do it immediately!" Fang Jie stretched out his hand and patted the white lion's butt. As if feeling the anger in Fang Jie's heart, the white lion roared low and rushed forward suddenly. Got out. Five hundred soldiers from the elite infantry battalion and two hundred elite riders from the riding school urged their war horses to follow behind, marching towards Chencun through the dust and smoke. "Lord!" Chen Xiaoru followed Fang Jie and said with some worry: "My subordinates are increasingly aware that the thief did not assassinate the general just to vent his anger. I am afraid that he has other motives. He did not escape after the assassination. In all likelihood, it was for Lead the lord over." "I know." Fang Jie looked a little cold and said after looking at the front: "If you want to lead me, I will go and see a group of homeless dogs under the rule of my Black Flag Army. How capable you are of turning the tide! After tracing the source and finding out that these scum of Buddhism could not be killed, I turned Anxian County over. If Anxian County was not enough, I also turned over Huangyang Road and Beihui Road. Jin Shixiong's northwest also turned over!" "Send someone to post a notice, and those who are guilty of harboring the leader of the cult will be guilty of the same crime!" Fang Jie ordered, and a person's name kept spinning in his mind. If that person is really still in Huangyang Road, I'm afraid this matter is really not that simple! He looked back at Xiang Qingniu who was riding behind him. The fat man had a look of pain on his face. Riding a horse seemed to be more difficult for him than riding a boat.
