The Peerless Master of Jinyiwei

Chapter 343 There Are Bandits in the Great Barren Mountain

"Good swordsmanship." Zhong Guanyun couldn't help applauding loudly when he saw Ning Chen's move to fly San Yucun with the knife in his hand.

With his eyesight, he could tell that the two didn't use their internal strength, they were comparing pure moves.

"City Lord." Ning Chen put his sword back into its sheath, smiled slightly and said, "Exercise your muscles and bones with General Chang in the morning, and make the City Lord laugh."

"I've heard for a long time that Master Ning studied art in Jiange of Hanshan Mountain when he was young, but now that he sees it, he really deserves his reputation." Zhong Guanyun smiled softly.

"The city lord came so early, but what's the matter?" Ning Chen asked.

"Yeah." Zhong Guanyun nodded, and then said: "It's a little troublesome, I want to ask Mr. Ning to go out in person."

"Please speak." Ning Chen straightened his expression and said to Zhong Guanyun: "Please speak in the room."

"No." Zhong Guanyun nodded, and continued: "To make a long story short, a group of bandits of unknown origin appeared in the Great Barren Mountain, and three or four good people who went to investigate have already disappeared."

"There is such a thing?" Ning Chen frowned slightly, and then said: "I am not good at marching and fighting, but I have also learned a few skills in the Jinyiwei when it comes to arresting bandits."

"I won't make any military orders." Ning Chen tilted his head and joked to Zhong Guanyun: "But if this matter is resolved, the city lord can speak a few words to the emperor on his behalf."

"Naturally there is no problem with this, Master Ning just feel free." Zhong Guanyun smiled helplessly in his heart. He naturally knew what Ning Chen meant. After all, he is a young man. Still a pregnant wife.

"How many helpers do you need?" Zhong Guanyun asked Ning Chen.

"Just let General Chang arrange it." Ning Chen looked at Chang Yucun, and then said: "Pick three or two capable brothers, and let's go explore the Great Barren Mountain."

"Then, I will leave this matter to Mr. Ning." Zhong Guanyun cupped his hands at Ning Chen and left Ning Chen's residence.

Ning Chen didn't have a dedicated mansion in the Great Wilderness City, this is a courtyard tidied up for him from the City Lord's Mansion.

The so-called sparrow is small, but has all five internal organs. This yard has everything that should be there, and there is even a vegetable field for growing vegetables. But it is late autumn and winter is about to come, and the vegetable field is full of dry weeds .

People will soon be complete.

Although this Great Deserted City is an important military town, there are not a few ordinary residents in it, and there are all kinds of shops and hotels.

Ning Chen gave a generous treat, and the group of five people had breakfast at the street stall at the gate of the city, and left the Great Wilderness City.

"I have walked this road once." Ning Chen looked at the official road leading to Dahuang Mountain and said to Chang Yucun.

"The last general just remembered." Chang Yucun scratched the back of his head, and said rather embarrassedly: "When my lord sent Princess Fengyang to Xiliang for a wedding, I came to the Great Deserted City once, but the last general didn't Notice."

"Heh~" Ning Chen also smiled helplessly, and then said: "If I had the current strength back then, I wouldn't let Xiaoxiao get it."

Chang Yucun also specifically went to learn about Ning Chen's past, knowing that Ning Chen's strength has improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. When he came here last time, Ning Chen's martial arts are only a hundred and eight thousand miles away.

"Fortunately, my lord has found out the real culprit behind the scenes, and has avenged the princess." Chang Yucun also said with admiration.

Since he deliberately learned about Ning Chen's past, he should know why Ning Chen went deep into Xiliang and wiped out the Xiliang Shenfeng Hall.It's just that he doesn't know that what he sees are superficial articles~
"It's all old stuff, and you still mention what he does." Ning Chen waved his hand, but he thought helplessly in his heart, it's really hard to say whether the matter of Princess Fengyang is over or not.

Great Barren Mountain.

Ning Chen stood in the position where he escaped from death, and he couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.

If Li Zhenfeng from Sheri Mountain Villa hadn't been greedy for his Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle that day, he would have been the one who died here.

This is not the only way to enter the Great Barren Mountain, Ning Chen simply wants to come back here to have a look.

It is said that manpower is no match for the mighty power of nature.

The traces of the place being burned by the fire in those years have been completely erased.

Chang Yucun didn't know Ning Chen's intention for coming here. Seeing Ning Chen stop here and sink into deep thought without saying a word for a long time, he thought he had discovered something new.

At the moment, he also made a booing gesture to the three cronies he brought, for fear of interrupting Ning Chen's rhythm.

"Let's go." After waiting for a while, Ning Chen came back to his senses, looked at the four people who were quietly standing aside without saying a word, Ning Chen also smiled helplessly.

"You have been in the Great Desolate City for a long time, so you must have come to the Great Desolate Mountain?" Ning Chen asked them.

"Familiarity with the terrain of the Great Wilderness City is the most basic requirement of the Great Wilderness Army." Chang Yucun nodded and continued: "To tell you the truth, this latest map of the Great Wilderness Mountains is from the hand of the last general."

There was a hint of complacency on Chang Yucun's face.

Ning Chen took what Chang Yucun said deeply.

If the Three Kingdoms War once arises, then the Great Barren Mountain must be the place that the Three Kingdoms must contend for.

Whoever can hold the Great Barren Mountain in his hands first will get the absolute right of first hand.

There is no doubt about that.

Not only the Great Wilderness Army, Ning Chen can be sure that the armies of the three countries stationed near the Great Wilderness Mountain will take this as the basic principle of the army.

"Go into the mountain." Ning Chen said to the four of them.

This place is only the outermost edge of the Great Barren Mountain, and at best it is just touching the edge. For the real Great Barren Mountain, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

Dahuangshan, after all, occupies a character of "Huang", and it does have a somewhat desolate taste.

Although there are not a few trees, its lack of popularity is quite obvious.

Huang, just means "no one".

It is not a "barren" where not even a blade of grass grows.

Chang Yucun is naturally the leading role.

The topographic maps here are all written by him, and [-] to [-]% of the Great Barren Mountain is already in his mind.

A live map is nothing more than that.

"Do you know the brothers who disappeared before?" Ning Chen asked while walking on the path of the Great Barren Mountain.

"I know." Chang Yucun nodded, and continued: "Your Excellency, I don't know that the last general is in charge of the scout battalion. Among the missing brothers, one is the little captain that the late general values ​​very much."

"I said how did the city lord find me on my head." Ning Chen smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Chang Yucun who was walking in front and turned his head: "The original source is with you. It seems that I wanted it yesterday. Trouble coming~"

"But don't worry." Ning Chen looked at the somewhat embarrassed Chang Yucun and said, "Since I have already accepted this task, there is no reason to give up halfway."

Only then did Chang Yucun heave a sigh of relief.

"What did your lord discover before?" Seeing that Ning Chen didn't mention what he was standing there just now, Chang Yucun finally couldn't help asking.

"Where did you find anything?" Ning Chen shook his head, and then said: "This is the second time this officer has come to Dahuangshan. Even if there is a discovery, shouldn't it be you who discovered it?"

"Could it be that you saw the difference in that place just now?" Ning Chen asked with a smile.

Ning Chen's question, all he got was an awkward laugh.

"Did you find anything unusual along the way?" Ning Chen looked around, recalling what he saw along the way, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything unusual.

Maybe because I don't know much about the Great Barren Mountain, it is easy to ignore some details.

But they are different.

"The last general is incompetent." Chang Yucun also had a bitter look on his face, and he didn't find anything special.

"Hehe." Ning Chen waved his hand and said in relief: "You don't have to blame yourself. If this bastard can be caught so easily and show his whereabouts, we don't need to do it ourselves."

"Your Excellency said so." Chang Yucun's face recovered slightly.

"This Great Barren Mountain. Is there any hidden place for people to hide?" Ning Chen looked at Nuo Da's Great Barren Mountain. This place is more than double the size of the poisonous mountain where he went to find the corpse. .

"That's too many." San Yucun nodded lightly, and then said: "It's just that the late general discovered more than ten places. Three of them can accommodate more than 500 people, and the largest one can even hide There are more than three thousand soldiers."

"That's it, I wonder if there is still a place to be discovered." Chang Yucun told Ning Chen what he knew.

"Lead the way." Ning Chen waved his hand, and then said: "First, transfer the more than ten places you know to me and let me be familiar with the basic situation of the Great Wilderness Mountain. After all, this is the most basic quality of the Great Wilderness Army. As a military supervisor, I can't make an exception."

Xiliang.

A small tea stand by the side of the road.

"Master." A sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man followed behind Qi Shaoshang's ass, and said with admiration: "Just accept me!"

Qi Shaoshang kept a straight face and said nothing.

And turned his head away.

"Master." The young man turned a corner, came to Qi Shaoshang's face again, and said: "Master and apprentice are sincere."

"I've said it before." Qi Shaoshang was disturbed by him, and said quite seriously: "I don't accept disciples."

"Teacher." The young man immediately changed his address, brought a cup of tea from one side, and said, "Teacher, I'm offering tea to you!"

Qi Shaoshang felt that even his good temper was on the verge of breaking out.

This kid is really annoying, as if he was slapped to death!
"Most people can't learn my kung fu." Qi Shaoshang said with a sigh.

"Why?" The young man was overjoyed when he saw Qi Shaoshang finally reacted.

"Here." Qi Shaoshang motioned the young man to look at his left arm, and then said: "I broke my arm. My kung fu is only suitable for one-armed people to learn."

"If you want to learn, you have to cut off your arm." Qi Shaoshang wanted to scare the young man away.

"Cutting off an arm?" The young man showed horror.

"Did you break your arm to learn magic skills?" The young man calmed down and asked cautiously.

"No." Qi Shaoshang said flatly, "It was cut off by a friend."

"Friend?" The young man was puzzled.

"Yes." Qi Shaoshang nodded and repeated: "It's a friend."

"If you can't handle many things by yourself." Qi Shaoshang laughed at himself, and then said: "You might as well ask a friend to help, or do it for you."

"Can I think about it for a few days?" The young man looked embarrassed.

Qi Shaoshang knew that he was looking for a step down, so he said indifferently: "It's up to you to consider."

Cutting off one arm to learn magic skills?

The corner of Qi Shaoshang's mouth twitched slightly, since when did he start using this kind of measurement.

"Will you wait for me?" There was a hint of hope in the young man's eyes.

"I will still pass by here in three days." Qi Shaoshang subconsciously said to the young man for some reason, "If you have thought about it, you might as well wait for me here."

"I'm leaving." The young man stood up, straightened his body, and left the small restaurant with quick steps.

Qi Shaoshang also left the small wine shop, and met his partner in the court, Li Feihong, in a secluded place.

"Master Li." Qi Shaoshang cupped his hands to Li Feihong, and continued, "I already have some clues about what you asked me to investigate."

"This is what you want." Li Feihong threw a package to Qi Shaoshang. Qi Shaoshang just weighed it and didn't open it. Instead, he took out a jade pendant from his arms and threw it at Li Feihong. , and then said: "I stole this jade pendant from King Qiang's big tent, do you recognize it?"

"Sure enough." Li Feihong's face changed for a while, and he said to Qi Shaoshang: "Thank you, Master Dazhai, for your help."

"Efforts are nothing." Qi Shaoshang waved his hand indifferently, and continued: "The question now is, what do you plan to do? Do you stay out of the matter? Or do you want to hit the stone with an egg?"

"To be honest." Li Feihong's face was ugly, and his expression kept changing, as if he was in the middle of a difficult choice: "I don't know either."

"You might as well wait and see what happens." Qi Shaoshang raised his brows lightly, and continued, "If you startle the snake, I'm afraid it's not good."

"Alas!" Li Feihong sighed heavily, bowed his hands to Qi Shaoshang, and continued: "You really don't consider serving the court?"

"Give me money and help you investigate the case." Qi Shaoshang's mouth twitched slightly: "Why am I not working for the court?"

"Unless." Qi Shaoshang said here but stopped talking, not speaking.

"Unless what?" Li Feihong very cooperatively said what Qi Shaoshang wanted to hear.

"Unless Master Li asked me to do something that is not for the imperial court." Qi Shaoshang chuckled lightly.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

It's still the little wine stand.

Qi Shaoshang sat here, drinking wine quietly, drinking alone until the sky completely fell.

"Hero." The owner of the wine stall said to Qi Shaoshang: "That kid probably won't come, and I'm going to close the stall now, you see?"

"excuse me."

Qi Shaoshang was usually very talkative, so he handed over a piece of silver to the boss, which was only a lot more than his drink money.

It was only when Qi Shaoshang wanted to leave that he found a thin figure staggering not far away~
"Pa-ta." The man forced himself to walk in front of Qi Shaoshang, but finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.
