Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 169 Investigating Huan Wen
At this time, a person behind him bowed to Guan Ziyang and said: "I am Tian Renli, the Jiuquan branch of the Tianwei Escort. Thank you for your help. If you survive today, our Tianwei Escort will definitely reward you!"

Guan Ziyang helped him up: "I have an old relationship with the Tianwei Escort's Dragon Coordinator, Brother Tian, ​​you don't have to be polite."

Tian Renli said with a smile: "It turned out to be an old friend of Long Bian, then I will fly to Shubao and Long Bian's brother again, thank him for making a friend like you! Hahaha..."

Du Liang from the Cao Gang gave a dark smile: "Brother, you think you are helping others, but I say you are helping the evildoers!
Brother, you are also from Jiuquan. I believe you must have heard of Tianshan School, right? "

Guan Ziyang was startled and said: "The Tianshan School is famous far and wide, so I've heard of it."

"That's good. To tell you the truth, I was entrusted by the hero Jiao Bochuan of the Tianshan School to help him intercept the things that were stolen by the Tianwei Escort. You don't even know what's in their escort car, so what are you talking about?" Punish rape and eradicate evil?”

Guan Ziyang's heart tensed up when he heard the name of the eighth senior brother.

"You mean Jiao Bochuan of the Tianshan School? Where is he now? Tell me quickly!"

After saying this, I regretted it. The eighth senior brother has been taken away by the people of the Twelve Heavenly Lords. I am afraid that I will expose my identity by saying this now.

Quickly added another sentence: "You let him come out and tell me in person."

Du Liang replied: "Jiao Daxia is rushing to participate in the golden lake sword test held every six years by the Tianshan Sect and the Penglai Sect.

Because he has something important to do, he entrusted us to help him with the "Jiuquan Dragon King". If you don't believe me, you can ask the Tianwei Escort Bureau, what is in their escort car? "

After hearing this, Guan Ziyang was shocked again.

"The Jinhu Sword Trial is a secret of the Tianshan and Penglai sects. How did this person know? Even if the eighth brother is going to participate in the Jinhu Sword Trial, how can he tell outsiders?"

At this time, Guan Ziyang suddenly thought: "Only Cai Yingfei, a thief, would do something against the masters. Could it be that he is pretending to be the eighth senior brother?"

Guan Ziyang turned around and asked Tian Renli, who was beside him.

"Brother Tian, ​​can you tell me what is in this escort car?"

Tian Renli hurriedly replied: "Brother, you asked me and I should have answered, but the person who entrusted us to carry the dart this time told me not to open the contents of the box.

Our Escort is based on the reputation of the world, we have to comply with the requirements of customers, and please bear with us. "

Guan Ziyang didn't force it, and said, "It doesn't get in the way."

Du Liang wanted to sow discord, but Guan Ziyang was not fooled.

At this time, he said viciously: "Since you insist on getting into this muddy water, then see the real chapter under your hands and see if you are qualified!"

After he finished speaking, the two daggers in his hand danced two sword flowers and attacked Guan Ziyang.

Guan Ziyang's sword was behind his back, and Du Liang was short in stature, but his speed was extremely fast.

Just to try my nameless internal strength.

The cyclone at the acupoints of both hands rotated at a high speed, and his hands suddenly swelled with qi, and he directly grasped the double daggers that reached his chest. Du Liang felt as if the two daggers in his hands were firmly clamped by two iron tongs.

He couldn't get any closer, and wanted to draw the dagger backwards, but Guan Ziyang's grip was too tight, and the dagger remained motionless.

There is danger in my heart.

Sure enough, Guan Ziyang used both hands together to break the two daggers at the hilt. This kid is actually a master of the inner family!

Du Liang originally wanted to strike first, but Guan Ziyang was far from being able to defeat Guan Ziyang with a single move.

After Guan Ziyang snapped off the dagger, he didn't stop.

Mobilize the cyclones in several acupoints in the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming on the feet to rotate at high speed, and kick Du Liang's chest with all his strength.

But this Du Liang was not one of those unknown people who just fell, he was kicked by Guan Ziyang, but he did not die.

Instead, it flew backwards, landed on the ground with a backflip, and often took three steps back and sat on the ground.

Blood flowed out of his mouth immediately, obviously his internal organs were severely injured, and he had already suffered serious internal injuries.

Seeing that their deputy commander made a sneak attack first, and that he was not the boy's one-shot enemy, everyone retreated.

Not daring to step forward, trying to run away.

Du Liang quickly stood up and shouted: "Withdraw!"

Everyone in the Cao Gang scattered like birds and beasts.

Guan Ziyang wanted to find out the bottom of the Cao Gang, and wanted to chase after him, but seeing that everyone in the Tianwei Escort was injured, he was afraid that he would fall into a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so he didn't chase him any more.

Everyone in the Tianwei Escort was saved, and they were all very grateful to Guan Ziyang.

Especially Tian Renli exaggerated and praised Guan Ziyang's martial arts.

The title was also changed to Little Hero. Guan Ziyang was very embarrassed to hear it, and hurriedly replied: "Don't, don't, Brother Tian, ​​you should call me Little Bamboo Shoot."

Guan Ziyang rushed to Longbian County due to urgent matters, and wanted to say goodbye to everyone in Tianwei Escort Bureau, but unexpectedly, Tianwei Escort Bureau's escort happened to be sent to Longbian County.

Although it would be much slower to follow the escort agency, Guan Ziyang considered that he just didn't know the way, so it was really inconvenient to ask questions along the way.

Moreover, Tian Renli's bodyguard team really needs their own protection now, so in order to have support from both sides, they decided to go with the bodyguard team for the time being.

Jiuquan County is still more than three months away from Longbian County. Due to the robbery of the Cao Gang, Tian Renli wrote a letter and sent his men to rush back to Jiuquan County.

Although the four or five of them could barely continue to walk the darts, there was a great danger of the Cao Gang secretly interfering.

The Escort Bureau also has its own regulations. Without the instructions from above, those who sent out the Escort are not allowed to go back.

Before the group left Jiuquan County, they received a letter from the head of the Jiuquan Escort, asking them to go to the next stop in Guangxiang County to borrow some people to continue the escort.

Be sure to send the darts to Longbian County before the seventh day of July.

On the way, Guan Ziyang inquired about A Luo who had been away for many years at the Spring Breeze Inn, and thought that A Luo should be picked up by the Longbian sub-helm.

Tian Renli might not know about it, but when he asked casually, he didn't know that Tian Renli knew it very clearly.

At that time, Lin Beifeng's head of escort did not take A Luo back to the dragon branch he belonged to at that time.

Instead, Jiang Bufan, the eldest son of the Tianwei Escort Bureau, brought him back to Jiankang, Jin State.

The main helm of the Tianwei Escort is in Jiankang.

Although A Luo is a barbarian, in the state of Jin, she only has the life of a slave.

But she has half a jade token from Lu Zhengyi of the Tianshan faction on her body, and Jiang Rulong, the head of the bodyguard, has to give Tianshan face no matter what.

So he made him the personal maid of his youngest daughter, Jiang Fengwu.

Escort heads from various sub-rudders go to the main rudder every year to report on the operation of the sub-rudder escort bureaus, so she has met A Luo.

And the impression was very deep, the appearance of the Hu people is very different from that of the Han people, and there is only one Hu person like A Luo in the entire escort agency.

Guan Ziyang felt relieved when he learned about A Luo's situation. After all, she was the personal servant girl of the chief escort's daughter, so no one would bully her.

After walking for more than a month, they finally arrived at the Guangxiang sub-helm.

Guan Ziyang did not meet with the people who were at the helm of Guangxiang.

Guan Ziyang knew very well what a group of terrifying forces the Twelve Heavenly Lords were. Their identities were mysterious, and he didn't know who he saw might be one of the Twelve Heavenly Lords.

In order to avoid revealing your identity, the less contact with people, the better.

After Guan Ziyang separated from the Tianwei Escorts, he continued on his way alone. He kept a low profile as much as possible along the way.

But on the road, I heard a lot of people in the rivers and lakes talking about the sword test in the Golden Lake in Penglai, Tianshan.

And there are also sons and buddies from aristocratic families who are going to Longbian County to observe this competition.

After all, these two sects are very mysterious sects in the Jianghu, so it's good to experience their martial arts and watch the excitement.

The Tianshan sect rarely intersects with the rivers and lakes of the state of Jin. It is located among the peaks of the Tianshan Mountains, and the sect's location is also very secretive.

Only during the sword test every six years, three disciples would appear in the territory of the Jin Kingdom, so no one knew about the extermination of the Tianshan School.

Guan Ziyang couldn't figure it out all the time, since the Twelve Heavenly Lords wanted to get the Qingfengmingyuezhu, they would definitely not let Penglai go.

The Penglai faction is far overseas, and is more mysterious than the Tianshan faction. They must have passed the Jinhu sword test, and the people who captured Penglai took them to Penglai, but why did they make this known to everyone?
Guan Ziyang suspected that the person who claimed to be Jiao Bochuan of the Tianshan School was Cai Yingfei, but where were the real masters and brothers caught by them?
What is Twelve Heavenly Lords planning to do in this Jinhu sword trial?

Guan Ziyang has been devoting himself to martial arts and dealing with aristocratic families since he was motivated to participate in the final product.

He doesn't have much experience in the Jianghu, but fortunately, his current martial arts should already be proud of the Jianghu.

There will always be a day when he can find out the Twelve Heavenly Sovereigns, and the life and death of his uncle and eighth senior brother are still uncertain, even if he captures one of the Heavenly Sovereigns first, it would be good to find out the whereabouts of the two of them.

On this day, Guan Ziyang was resting in the lobby of an inn in a small town in Guangxiang County.

He casually ordered something to eat.

At this moment, horses neighed a few times outside the door, and a group of strong men got off their horses.

A group of eight entered the inn in a hurry, and one of them shouted loudly: "Little Er, eight catties of beef, eight bowls of noodles, and eight catties of good wine, hurry up!"

"Guest officer, please sit down, wait a moment, I will come right away."

Xiao Er also answered loudly.

Guan Ziyang looked at the group of people. These eight strong men were all dressed in strong outfits. They walked like dragons and tigers, and their Dayang acupoints were bulging.

Eight people sat at two tables, and one table had four people, chatting with each other in low voices.

Although there were two or three tables between Guan Ziyang and the others, Guan Ziyang's hearing was abnormal, Ren Mai's ear acupuncture points spun at high speed, and he could hear their words clearly.

"I heard that the Cao Gang went to rob the bodyguards of the Tianwei Escort Bureau, the head of the security guard Jiang was furious, and was going to ask the Cao Gang for an explanation."

"That's right, the Cao Gang is in charge of our Shenzhou Water Transport, and the Tianwei Escort Bureau is on land.

The two forces have always been well watered and do not interfere with the river water. How can they be done?
Could it be that the Cao Gang wants to take a share of their Tianwei Escort? "

"Not necessarily, I heard that the darts transported by Tianwei Escorts were stolen from the Cao Gang, and the darts entrusted by Tianwei Escorts to go.
I see, the person who robbed things had malicious intentions, and wanted to deliberately lure the two powerful forces of Jin to do it. "

"These two big tigers messed up, can our court approve it? These two are big taxpayers, I think the people from the court will come forward to solve it in the end."

"That's right, now that the aristocratic family is powerful, and the court is now preparing for the Northern Expedition, they will definitely not watch their backyard catch fire."

"I hope people from the imperial court will come forward as soon as possible. The forces of the two big tigers are all over the counties of the Jin Kingdom, and I heard that the masters behind these gangs are all supported by the top gentry.

What is suffering is that we small gangs dare not offend either side. "

"Who says it's not? We, Tieyimen, have always been friends with the Guangxiang Branch of the Tianwei Escort in Guangxiang County.

The head of Jiuquan of the Cao Gang, 'Jiuquan Dragon King' Wang Dalong, used to be our sect master's brother,

At that time, he took the initiative to give up the position of sect master to our sect master, so he joined the Cao Gang.We are not to please both sides, and no one can afford it! "

"Let's finish our food and hurry on our way. The sect master is waiting for us in Jinhu...".

After listening to the conversation of these men, Guan Ziyang was puzzled.

"The head of the Iron Clothes Sect went to Jinhu? Could it be that he was going to try his sword at Jinhu on the seventh day of July? I have to hurry up and go to Longbian County!"

Jinhu is in Guangzhou, not far from Longbian.

After Guan Ziyang finished eating, he hurried to Jinhu, changing horses along the way, and drove overnight.

Finally arrived at Jinhu County. Jinhu County is a coastal town. The first thing Guan Ziyang wanted to go to was Tingtao Academy.

There is a teacher in Tingtao Academy who is Wuyingdao Huanwen. At that time, senior brother Lu Zhengyi speculated that he was Shumianjun, and he wanted to go to find out the situation first.

As a result, Guan Ziyang asked an old fisherman and found out that the academy was burned down five days ago.

This academy was originally a private academy, and the dean also left five days ago.

Guan Ziyang asked how many teachers there were in the academy, and the old fisherman said that there was only the dean.
Originally, their fishing village was poor, but when a gentleman came to open an academy, he also accepted students from poor families. The people in the village were very happy, but they didn't know that it would be burnt out in a flash.

Guan Ziyang thought, Tingtao Academy burned down five days ago, that is, before and after Tianshan was destroyed, this Shadowless Knife must have a great relationship with the mouse mask, and it is very likely that it is Mr. Shumian himself!
Guan Ziyang couldn't find any clues in Tingtao Academy, so he hurried to Jinhu County Marine Terminal.

The ships that go out to sea are all big ships, and the general docks can't touch the shore at all. Only this shipping dock can berth large ships, and the people sent by Penglai will definitely stop at this dock.

Guan Ziyang checked around the pier for a day and found that there were many ships docking every day.

Asking one by one by himself can easily arouse the suspicion of others. He found that there are many workers moving goods at the sea terminal.

So the next day he changed into coarse clothes and went to the pier.

The wharf belongs to the Cao Gang's territory. Guan Ziyang went to the wharf early in the morning to wait for the people from the Cao Gang to recruit movers. There are hundreds of men like him waiting here to work.

A large ship docked, and a gang leader who managed the pier came over and shouted to them, "One ship of iron ore, [-] workers, [-] yuan per box of iron ore."

After everyone heard that it was an iron mine, many people did not sign up.

Those who went to sign up were all porters with strong stature and Kong Wu, and Guan Ziyang also went up to sign up.

The person from the Cao Gang saw that Guan Ziyang was young, with a slender physique and no strong muscles.

A little impatiently said: "I said it was iron ore, why are you here to join in the fun, a box of iron ore is more than 200 catties, you can carry it on your back, go and go... while going..."

Guan Ziyang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't look at me as thin, I have great strength and can move."
