Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 211

If there were military dogs at this time, they might be able to search nearby by smell.

But in this condition right now, there is only one smell, so it is really hard to find.

The most important thing is that if the fishy smell cannot be confirmed, the next reminder will not appear, and it will be difficult to make progress in the case.

After much deliberation, he decided to call out the land to ask.

He found an excuse to release the water, and then called the land out. After asking carefully, the land said that he could not casually ask about the affairs of the world.

This matter is not in the scope of other people's business, and Hu Qian can't force him to do anything.

After much deliberation, I was still a little helpless, and finally leaned against the camp tent and fell asleep.

But outside, the soldiers who searched the mountain searched for a whole night, but still found nothing.

At dawn, Hu Qian woke up, and saw that he was still looking outside. It turned out that three groups of people had changed.

Three days, now is the second day.

Hu Qian stood on a high place and blew the cold wind, thinking about the fishy smell carefully.

This thing is not a ghost, it can drill into the lock cylinder to open the lock, and it can hold silver, so what is it?

And it disappeared after a while.

With such a heavy silver, it is impossible to fly, and there is no water nearby, so it must be something in the soil, so it should not be an eel.

Is it a snake?

Thinking of this, he immediately asked the soldiers beside him, "Do you have a shovel?"

"My lord, wait a moment."

Then he hurried to the shovel.

At this time Zhang Shengyang, Shang Jun and others hurried over.

"Master Hu, the soldiers have been searching all night, but they found nothing. Is there a problem with the judgment?"

Before Hu Qian could speak, a flying horse from Jin Yiwei came galloping over, bowed to Shang Jun and said: "My lord, something went wrong in the southeast war, the emperor ordered you to go back to face the saint immediately."

Shang Jun said: "What's wrong?"

"Tonghe city defenders starved to death more than a dozen people due to insufficient food and pay, and the city defender Guo Rui surrendered to the enemy."

The expressions of all the people present were serious - the situation was getting more and more serious.

Except that there is no bad news coming from the southwest, the situation in the southeast and northwest is getting worse and worse.

If things go on like this, the Dagan Dynasty may really be about to perish.

Shang Jun hesitated for a moment and said: "If it is because of this, the emperor should not be so eager to see me, but should have summoned the Minister of War and those generals."

The Jin Yiwei hesitated for a moment, and said: "Princess Zhiqin took Shao Siming to the southeast to oversee the battle...and encountered the opposing Onmyoji...

Shao Si ordered to save the princess, and died on the spot..."

Hu Qian said, "Where is the princess?"

"The princess was rescued by Yan Chixia, and she is fine now."

Shang Jun's face was pale, "It seems that the emperor is going to send me to the southeast."

Then he galloped away.

When he walked away, Hu Qian asked Xing Ziming curiously, "What is the emperor sending Jin Yiwei to do at this time?"

Xing Ziming said: "He should be sent to have heart-to-heart talks with local officials and wealthy households, so that they can spend more money and food to defend against foreign enemies."

Hu Qian nodded, considering Jin Yiwei's fierce reputation, doing this is a piece of cake.

When I found noon, I still found nothing here.

When Zhang Shengyang, Xing Ziming and others were running around in a hurry, another soldier came to report that a suspicious person was found at the four ferry crossings including Fenhe and Changjing, and he was carrying a whole ship of boxes downstream, and he was almost out of the bridge now. It's Beijing.

Zhang Shengyang endured it for a long time, at last he couldn't hold back any longer, and complained: "I said no one should be withdrawn, but Mr. Hu insisted on withdrawing. Now it's all right, the culprits scattered and fled."

He didn't care what other people said, got on his horse, and led the soldiers from Soushan to the ferry.

Hu Qian shook his head, "How did such a wine bag and rice bag become the chief envoy?"

Xing Ziming originally complained secretly, but after hearing what Hu Qian said, he asked curiously, "What does Master Hu mean?"

"We just pulled people down yesterday, and they broke out today, isn't it too stupid?
And he was carrying a whole boatload of boxes, for fear that others would think that the contents were not silver. "

"Is this a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain?"

"That's right, the more they do this, the more it shows that we are right to search for mountains here!

If my predictions are correct, by the time Master Zhang and the others spend a day or two catching up, there will be no one on board. "

Xing Ziming was startled at first, then nodded, "Could it be that the thief also knows about the three-day deadline, or why did he jump out and trick Mr. Zhang into taking the bait?"

Hu Qian said: "The people here were taken away by him. If the tax bank is not found because of this, the emperor will kill Mr. Zhang and..."

He looked at Xing Ziming, but he didn't directly point it out, and continued: "If you want to blame my lord, you can blame the wine bag and rice bag, and don't blame me."

Xing Ziming's back felt cold, and he cupped his hands and said, "Master Hu, you and my nephew can be regarded as close friends. Please help me with this incident."

Hu Qian smiled and said, "Where is Mr. Bai now?"

"Still in the capital, preparing for the spring test."

Hu Qian nodded, "Master Bai is a dragon and phoenix among men..."

As she was talking, she suddenly remembered what Jiaona had said about the characteristics of the seven-star leech when she talked about it with Jiaona last time.

There are many in the southern swamp, each as big as an arm, with seven golden spots on its back...

The whole body smells pungent!

Even if he was thinking about it, he never connected the fishy smell here with the seven-star leech.

Sure enough, he came up with this answer, and a reminder immediately appeared in his mind.

【What's Underground】

At this moment, the shovel was finally brought.

But at this time, Hu Qian didn't have the time to dig it all over again, so he immediately jumped to a high place and shouted to the people below: "Everyone get out of the way!"

Xing Ziming and the others didn't understand what he meant, but seeing his thoughtful look, they knew that they must have found a clue, and immediately ran to the side of the official road.

Hu Qian shouted: "Go further!"

Xing Ziming immediately ordered everyone to stay away.

When Hu Qian saw it, he jumped into the air, and with a sweep of Longyuan sword, a white light cut it down.

"Boom!"

When the sword light fell, the official road was immediately cut off in the middle, revealing a huge gap.

Although Xing Ziming heard Shang Jun say that Hu Qian is good at swordsmanship, he just thought that like ordinary swordsmanship masters, when facing an enemy with one against three, it is considered very good.

However, the scene in front of him completely refreshed his cognition.

This kind of horrified sword light, not to mention a hundred people, even thousands of people were beheaded.

No wonder Hu Qian always looks confident, no wonder Shang Jun is so polite to him.

With such a fairy trick, Shang Jun and Jin Yiwei are nothing, they don't pose any threat to him at all.

Thinking about his and Zhang Shengyang's attitude towards him, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Just as he was feeling uneasy, another ray of sword light descended from the sky.

The original crack was pierced again, not to mention the official road, this land seemed to be divided into two.

Xing Ziming opened his eyes wide, knelt down and muttered: "Zhang Shengyang, donkey grass, almost killed me..."
