In the second guest room of Yuelai Restaurant, the golden-robed Ying Tianlong was deep in thought as he lowered his head and drank his tea. After taking another sip of tea, he said to Yu 'er, who was standing at the side,"Yu 'er, read the messages you just wrote down to me again. Why do I feel like there's something going on here?”
"Yes, but Young Master Yu 'er has already read it three times. Young Master has already memorized it, so why are you still letting Yu' er read it?”Yu 'er said as she held the report of the third team of Lion, Tiger, and Eagle spies. Although she said so, she didn't really read it. "According to Team Lion's report, one of the three groups of people who are secretly following the Tianyi Bodyguard Agency is from the Sword Returning Manor, and all of them are swordsmen above the second rank." This group of people only followed in the dark, looking like they were protecting the escort carriage. There was also a group of people from the forest. From their words and actions, their goal was to rob the escort carriage. The third group of people followed closely behind the escort carriage. They were the most secretive and secretive. Because no one spoke when they were on the road, and after staying in the hotel, the defense was extremely tight, so they didn't know who they were.”
"Yu 'er, think about it. Which of these three groups is most likely to rob the escort carriage? Could it really be escorting the escort carriage?”Gently placing the teacup on the table, the golden-robed Ying Tianlong stood up and paced around the room as he asked Yu 'er.
"Young master, how would Yu 'er understand these things? Don't make things difficult for Yu' er. I'll just massage your shoulders and back.”
"Young master, I just want to listen to Yu 'er's intuition and unthinking judgment.”
"Mm, if Yu 'er is wrong, young master is not allowed to laugh at or punish Yu' er.”
"Yes, there's no right or wrong. Tell me, Young Master wants to hear Yu 'er's story.”
"If you ask me, none of these three groups are escorts. Young Master, think about it. Protecting the escort is to do your best for the soldiers who are fighting in the front line. This is a good thing. There's no need to hide at all. Even if they were secretly protecting the escort, if they didn't want to lose a good reputation, the escort team should have contacted the Tianyi Escort Agency. However, from the reports of the three teams of Lion, Tiger, and Eagle, there was no mention of this at all.”
"Hmm, not bad. Then, Yu 'er, which group do you think is most likely to hijack the carriage?”
"Hmm, the people in the green forest are just a motley crew, so they don't have the ability to hijack the escort carriage. However, that was not right. The Sword Returning Manor was the number one manor in the martial arts world, and the manor master was also known as the Swordsman. Why would they rob the escort carriage?”
"Haha, this is where the problem lies. Just as Yu 'er had said, righteous people would only do their best for the soldiers in front of them, and would not make the wrong decision to rob them of their money. Even if these people didn't help him, they would help him secretly. The Sword Returning Manor, which was known as the number one manor in the martial arts world, was secretly following the escort carriage in a mysterious manner at this time. It was definitely not to protect the escort and the silver. But this way, no matter who stole the silver, they would not be able to escape responsibility. This was something that would greatly affect the reputation of the number one village in the martial arts world. Would they be so stupid?”
"No, but if they were the ones who really took the silver, who would suspect the number one village in the martial arts world and the owner of the so-called Swordsman?”
"Hahaha, Yu 'er, it seems like I have to reward you tonight. Your analysis is so right.”
"No, Young Master, Yu 'er was just casually saying.”
"Hahaha, if you have such insight just by casually saying it, wouldn't it be a golden mouth if you didn't say it casually?”
"Young master, you only know how to make fun of Yu 'er. Yu' er won't be coming.”
"Hahaha, Yu 'er, open the map. Hmm, Yu 'er, look, the escort carriage from Tianyi Escort Agency set off from Lin' an via Xuancheng. Their route is basically out of Xuancheng, through Chaohu to Hefei, then through Huainan to Fuyang, then from Zhoukou to Xuchang, Zhengzhou and finally to Kaifeng. Yu 'er, take a closer look at the map. If you wanted to rob the silver, where would you do it?”
"Young master, you're here again. How did Yu 'er think of this?”
"It's still based on your intuition. Yu 'er, don't you think that your intuition is sometimes very accurate?”
"What? Is that so, Young Master? Then Yu 'er will casually say, um, Young Master, look, this section of the road from Fuyang to Zhoukou is almost in the middle of Lin' an and Kaifeng. Moreover, there are few towns in this area, and most of them are mountain roads and wilderness. If it were me, I would be prepared to rob the silver here.”
"Yes, that's normal. Then when you rob the silver, are you going to do it in the wild or in the fortress?”
"In the town, and they attacked as soon as they entered the shop.”
"Oh, why?"
"Young Master, I've read and heard about it in books. Yes, that Cheng Yao's Golden Robbery Emperor's Guide and the Liangshan Hero's Wisdom to Obtain the Birthday Guide were both robbed in the wilderness. Therefore, Yu 'er wanted the people of the escort agency to be especially vigilant on the road in the wilderness. When they moved into the shop, the manpower would be arranged and there would be fewer opportunities. They were the most relaxed when they first checked in, so this was a rare opportunity. Young Master, I'm just spouting nonsense. Don't take it seriously.”Yu 'er added, afraid that her words would affect her young master's decision.
"Hahaha, hahahaha!" Ying Tian Long laughed loudly after hearing Yu 'er's words."Yu 'er, quickly call for the scouts from the third team of the Lion Tiger Eagle.”
"Oh, Young Master, but Young Master, don't take my words seriously.”
"Hahaha, Yu 'er, how can you not take such a good plan seriously? Hahahaha, go quickly, Yu 'er."
Not long after, the scouts from the three teams of liger-eagles arrived. When the three of them arrived at the guest room where the golden-robed Ying Tian Long was staying, they cupped their fists and said,""Greetings, Young Master."
The golden-robed Ying Tian Long stared at the map and said without raising his head,""Quickly return and pass down my order. From today onwards, the three teams of Lion Tiger Eagle will leave two people to continue monitoring the escort carriage and the silver. The rest will go to Tai He, Jie Shou and Shen Qiu between Fuyang and Zhoukou……and make all preparations to wait for this Young Master's order……"
"Yes, we will rush back to pass on the young master's orders.”
……
After the Lion Tiger Eagle Squad Three left, Ying Tianlong asked Yu 'er to call Black Tiger, the leader of the Blackguard. After drinking a mouthful of tea, Black Tiger came before Ying Tianlong and cupped his fists."Greetings, Young Master. What instructions do you have for this subordinate?”
"Senior Brother Black Tiger, don't be so polite. Today, we met the person that Yu 'er called a monster in the small mountain forest. After I patiently asked him just now, I found out that he was a cultivator in his previous life. He has been of great help to me in reviving the Great Song, and he himself has promised to lend me a hand. Tomorrow morning, arrange a few capable people to escort him back to Misty Peak in Taihu Lake. Tell the senior brothers of the black-robed guards who were escorting him to wait on him when he arrives. Do not ask too much about the immortal's request and do everything you can to satisfy him. At the same time, keep it strictly confidential.”
"This subordinate will accept your orders. This subordinate will immediately arrange for the most reliable people to go.”
"Right. Remember, only you, me, and the black-robed guards know about this.”
"This subordinate guarantees that if this matter is leaked, this subordinate will raise his head to apologize.”
"Senior apprentice-brother Black Tiger, you're being too serious. Alright, senior apprentice-brother, go and rest.”
In Huainan, since Liu Chang, King Li of Huainan, was conferred here in the early Han Dynasty, and after the grandson of Gaozu, the son of Liu Chang, King Li of Huainan, and Liu An, King of Huainan, who inherited the title of "rule by inaction", Huainan gradually flourished and the country was peaceful. Due to the unique geographical location of Huainan, it had become a battleground for military strategists. Therefore, a large number of troops had been stationed in Huainan for generations. In the Southern Song Dynasty, because Huainan was the gateway to Lin 'an, it played an important role in resisting the northern cavalry. Therefore, the number of troops stationed here was more than that of other dynasties.
At this moment, in the Central Army's Treasure Tent of the Huainan Camp, the Huainan Military Governor, Jia Shidao's second son, Jia Biao, was sitting behind the commander's table. Sitting on the left was the Minister of War, Jia Shidao's eldest son, Jia Chao, who was a third-rank official. Next were the brothers, Yang Han and Yang Ling, who were fourth-rank officials. Seated on the right was Swordsman Cheng Wei, the manor lord of Sword Returning Manor, followed by the Commanders and Deputy Commanders of the Horse and Infantry Troops of the Huainan Camp.
Outside the main tent, there was a sentry every three to five steps. It could be said that the security was tight.
"Everyone, thanks to the emperor's grace, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue's many efforts, we were able to gather this million wagons of silver. This batch of silver is related to the names of the 100,000 border soldiers and the comfort of the hundreds of thousands of people of Great Song. So even though I am far away in Huainan, I have to care about the transportation of this batch of silver. The Huainan camp was guarding a dangerous place, and the army could not move recklessly. Fortunately, the arrangements of the Ministry of War have exceeded everyone's expectations. With the help of Swordsman Cheng Lao Ying, I am relieved.”Jia Biao, who was wearing a mighty armor and sitting upright behind the marshal's table, said.
"Marshal, you praise me too much. This old man has been blessed by the old prime minister for a long time. Moreover, it is my duty to help the country, the king, and the people. It is also the time for this old man to repay the old prime minister's favor.”Swordsman Cheng Wei stood up and cupped his fists.
"Hahaha, Swordsman, you don't have to be so modest. Please sit.”Huainan Jiedushi Jia Biao waved his hand at Cheng Wei.
After Cheng Wei sat down, Light Carriage Commandant Yang Ling stood up and reported,""Commander, I have sent out ten scouts to scout the movements of the various factions. Once there is news, you will be informed. In addition, according to the commander's order, I have selected 5,000 light cavalry, strong crossbows, hard bows, knives and spears have been equipped. Once I get the commander's order, I can gallop away.”
"General Yang has worked hard. After the silver is safely escorted to Kaifeng, I will definitely give General Yang a great merit.”
"I don't dare, but I'll die for you.”
"Generals and heroes, this matter is of great importance, so everyone must act with caution.”Jia Biao said seriously.
"I respectfully obey the commander-in-chief's decree." Everyone stood up and said.
"Alright, all the generals can go back to your work. Old Hero Cheng, Lord Jia, please wait. I still have something to discuss with you two.”Jia Biao dismissed the generals, leaving Jia Chao and Cheng Wei behind.
"Where is the Middle Corps?" After the generals left the tent, Jia Biao shouted loudly.
"I'm here."
"This commander orders you to guard the main tent. Without this commander's order, no one is allowed to enter.”
"I accept your orders."
"Big brother, how are the arrangements on your side?”After the Middle Corps received the order and left the tent, Jia Biao changed his tone and said to Jia Chao.
"I've already made the necessary arrangements. The motley crew of the Green Forest is currently keeping a close eye on the escort carriage of the Tianyi Escort Agency. And the escort carriage that escorted the silver must pass through Huainan. After leaving Huainan, it was up to Second Brother. Second Brother, when I came, Father said,"This matter is related to the fate of our Jia family. We must do it without revealing a single drop of water. His father also said that after the silver was stolen, it would definitely cause a chain reaction. At that time, the soldiers in Kaifeng might mutiny. "So," Jia Chao said.
"Don't worry, Big Brother. The hundred thousand soldiers of the Huainan Camp are all Jia family soldiers. When the time comes, I will go to Lin 'an in the name of protecting the king. You and Father will cooperate with me from the inside and outside. We are not afraid of not being able to take down that sickly Emperor who only knows how to drink and play with women. However, why didn't his father take the opportunity to ascend the throne and become the emperor himself?”Jia Biao asked because he did not understand his father's plan.
"Second brother, I think father wants to follow the example of Cao Cao and Sima. At that time, Father will be in charge of the government, and Second Brother will have the military power in your hands. You will become an old hero and command the martial arts world. Then won't Jiangnan belong to our Jia family?”Jia Chao exposed Jia Shidao's plan.
"Oh, I see. Father's plan is really divine, hahahaha. Once you become an old hero, you'll be able to capture all the bandits who robbed you of your silver in one fell swoop. By then, you'll have no choice but to command the martial arts world. What? Hahahahaha."
"Hahahahahaha!"
After hearing Yu 'er's words, Ying Tianlong decided on a' black and white 'strategy to protect or rob the escort and ordered the 3 teams of liger-eagles and eagles to rush to the designated towns and cities to wait for orders.
After playing with Yu 'er in Xuan City for a day, Ying Tianlong got up and headed to Chaohu. Before he left, Ying Tianlong once again gave instructions to the black tiger. After that, he had a long chat with the " monster " that Yu' er mentioned before he got up and set off. While admiring the flowers and willows of Jiangbei, she walked slowly while looking at the passersby.
Within a day, Ying Tianlong and Yu 'er had entered Hefei. Although they had walked slowly along the way, they had not had a good rest for more than ten days. Therefore, Ying Tianlong and his party hurriedly entered Hefei City and came to another "Yuelai Old Shop" to stay.
" Zhenhuai Corner Rhyme, Buddhist Temple Bell, Hidden Boat Grass, Teaching Crossbow Pine Shade, Shushan Snow Ji, Huaipu Spring Melting, Chaohu Night Moon, Four Dome Morning Glow " were the portrayals of Hefei, while " Baohe Beauty, Teaching Crossbow Fan Bell, Xiaoyao Ancient Jin, Amber Flowing Light, Garden Art Garden, Emerald Around the City, Luzhou Lights, Shushan Spring Dawn, King Wu's Remains, Five Mile Flying Rainbow " were the top ten scenic spots in Hefei.
After washing up, a black-robed guard brought over a pot of fragrant tea and two cups. After placing the tray on the table, the black-robed guard said to Ying Tianlong,""Young master, the innkeeper and the accountant are here to see you.”
"Oh, quickly invite him in."
The innkeeper and accountant who had been waiting outside the door for a long time came out in a flash after hearing Ying Tianlong's words. They entered the guest room and closed the door before cupping their fists and saying,"This subordinate greets young master. Young master has worked hard on the journey.”
"Please take a seat."
"Young Lord, please." The innkeeper and the accountant did not sit on the armchair beside Ying Tianlong. Instead, they waited for the black-robed guard who had brought the tea to move two stools and place them not far away from the table before they retreated and sat down.
"Are there any movements in Hefei?”Ying Tianlong asked.
"Young Master, although there have been many Jianghu people coming in and out these few days, I haven't seen any conflicts or disputes. Hmm, we observed them patiently and found that they were divided into three or four groups.”
"Oh, tell me."
"Replying to Young Master, this subordinate's judgment is based on observation. This subordinate is still investigating the people who are currently in Hefei City. The reason why I said that there were three or four groups of people who came to Hefei City was because some of them were specially dressed up as martial artists and outlaws. However, judging from their actions, sitting, and speaking, they were definitely not martial artists, and they were definitely not from the Forest.?If I'm not wrong, those people are from the army, the Mongolians, the people who are very secretive and skilled, and the people who are from the forest. However, there weren't many people from these groups. It didn't seem like they were going to rob the escorts near Hefei.”The innkeeper of Yuelai Inn reported to Ying Tianlong. After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said,"Young master, the person you sent to Shaoxing a few days ago reported that Shaoxing County captain's surname is Zheng Huchen.”
"Oh, I know. The army, the Mongolians, and the mysterious martial arts masters gathered in Hefei. It seemed that this matter was getting more and more interesting.”
"Young master, please forgive this subordinate for being stupid. It was easy to explain why the people in the green forest wanted to rob the silk, but it was hard to explain why the people in the army wanted to rob the silk as well. And that Mongolian would actually come alone to take the risk for a million taels of silver. This subordinate can't figure it out no matter how hard he thinks.”The shopkeeper said.
"Hahaha, actually, I can't figure it out either. If he couldn't figure it out, he might as well not think about it. As long as he kept an eye on the escort cart and those people, he would understand the matter. By the way, shopkeeper, there are many places of interest in Hefei.”Ying Tianlong laughed and put the matter aside.
"Young Master, Bao Zheng, the Grand Scholar of the Dragon Pavilion and the prefect of Kaifeng, who is known as Bao Qingtian by the people, is from Luzhou, Hefei…"
"Oh, right, right, right. How could I forget? By the way, where is the Baogong Temple?"
"Young master, it's already late. Please rest after dinner. I'll follow you tomorrow.”
"Oh, no need. Firstly, your identity can't be exposed. Secondly, I can't have fun with you guys around. However, it was too late today. Oh, right, send a messenger pigeon immediately and order the entire Lion Team to rush to Hefei. I have another task for them.”
The night was silent. The tired person was no longer killed by the little devil. Instead, she was gently hugged and slept well for the night.
The next day, the blissful person woke up early and busied herself with serving the young master who had hugged her to sleep so quietly for the first time. After breakfast, Yu 'er asked for directions and then accompanied her young master to the Baogong Temple. This trip caused a shocking event.
It was unknown what kind of shocking event Ying Tianlong had brought about, so let's watch the next exciting segment.
