On the 23rd of the first lunar month, Chu Bandit, Zhao Liangyue and others left Beijing and went south.

Unlike the previous investigations in Ningzhou, the group chose to conceal their identities for an unannounced visit, and they left extremely suddenly, and did not go with the officials who were transferred to the Southwest Protectorate.

By the time the court officials reacted, the group had already left Gyeonggi.

When he was approaching the border of Ningzhou, Jin Hao personally led troops to pick him up, and Youbai, who was sitting on the top of the carriage, saw him at a glance.

Youbai clicked his tongue, leaned close to the side window of the carriage and said, "My lord, General Jin doesn't seem very happy."

Zhao Liangyue laughed when he heard this: "I had a good time with my elder brother in Hezhou, but the emperor suddenly found an excuse and transferred him to Ningzhou as a general with a decree. Naturally, it's hard to be happy."

Youbai couldn't help being puzzled, and asked, "But General Jin stayed well in Hezhou, why was he transferred to Ningzhou? Could it be that Daxu couldn't find a second general?"

Bandit Chu smiled lightly, handed the peeled oranges to Zhao Liangyue, and said, "Da Xu has few generals who can serve as commander-in-chief, but it's not that there are not many generals in a state. As for the current Da Xu What is missing, I am afraid that what is missing is a king who can employ people without doubt."

After Chu bandit's point, combined with the vertical and horizontal ways that Zhao Liangyue and Xiao Rong taught him, Youbai thought for a while, and said: "Hezhou has been under the management of the Jin family for many years. The Jin family is naturally deeply loved by the people, and their power will quietly infiltrate Hezhou, even if they do not intend to do so, but it is an inevitable result, and at the same time, it is something the emperor does not want to see."

"That's exactly the case, so the emperor transferred General Jin away from Hezhou, and replaced the Jin family with other forces." Zhao Liangyue said with a gratified smile, and said, "It's not in vain for Mr. Xiao to worry, you are now and when you first entered the capital. A child who can eat is already different and has grown up."

Youbai hecked twice in embarrassment, and rewarded himself with a piece of plum cake from his bag.

"Ronge seems to be very interested in Youbai?" Chu Biao looked at Zhao Liangyue, frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Xilin, although I promised you that I won't ask you more if you don't want to, but about Youbai Regarding Bai's life experience, I don't believe a word of what Xuefangyuan gave me."

Zhao Liangyue stroked the orange in his hand, but didn't answer, and Bandit Chu didn't ask further questions, the two were relatively speechless.

The surroundings fell silent for a moment, only the sound of horseshoes and wheels turning.

In the end, it was Chu Bandit who sighed softly first, smiled at Zhao Liangyue, and said, "Xi Lin doesn't need to frown, the orange in your hand is not sour, I won't lie to you this time."

Zhao Liangyue nodded slightly, lowered his head, broke the oranges into pieces, and stuffed them into his mouth.

Not only is it not sour, but it is also very sweet, as sweet as the candied haws Chu Bandit picked for him.

"See Chu Shangshu, see Mr. Zhao!"

Jin Hao led the people to dismount ten feet away, Jing Mo raised his hand and ordered the group to stop, and also dismounted to welcome Jin Hao over.

Before Chu Bandit and Zhao Liangyue lifted the curtains of the car, they could tell from Jin Hao's voice that this man was still holding his breath.

"I was going to ask General Jin if he was okay, but it seems that there is no need, it's very bad." Bandit Chu got out of the carriage first, and while helping Zhao Liangyue down, he turned his head and teased Jin Hao, smiling at the burly man holding back He blushed, dared to be angry but dare not speak.

"Senior brother, General Jin has already been wronged enough, so stop making fun of him." Zhao Liangyue was speechless about Chu Bandit's occasional childish behavior, but his senior brother could only be used to it.

Therefore, Zhao Liangyue could only find a way to appease Jin Hao from other places, and just happened to look up and saw Youbai lying on the roof of the car with a root grass watching the fun, and said, "Youbai, come down and fight with General Jin, don't you always say Is your sword stronger than General Jin?"

Youbai was taken aback when he heard the words: "Ah?" Didn't he mention it lightly once?

Jin Hao looked up at Youbai who was Youzai Youzai, and saw that he was indeed carrying a good epee, so he half-closed his eyes and shouted: "Little baby has a big tone, come down quickly!" , let’s compete. Let me tell you, uncle, no matter how good a sword is, it’s a piece of scrap iron in your hands!”

As soon as Youbai heard that Jin Hao used the word scrap iron to describe his precious weapon, he immediately frowned, and snorted: "Compare, I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

As soon as the words fell, Yubai's epee was already out of its sheath, and it jumped down, the epee was glowing with a sad and cold light.

"It's really a good sword." Jin Hao's tone was full of envy, and he also unsheathed the epee on his back, "But it's a piece of scrap iron in your hands!"

Youbai said angrily, "It's not scrap iron!"

The two quickly exchanged hands, their moves were fierce and merciless, and the people beside them consciously made room for the two of them.

Chu Bandit looked at the angry two people not far away, tilted his head towards Zhao Liangyue, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with Xilin today? You're fighting so hard, those who don't know think you have a grudge against them."

Zhao Liangyue coughed lightly, and said, "It's nothing serious, I just think that Youbai should ask General Jin for advice, after all, they all use heavy swords now."

Chu Bandit looked at Zhao Liangyue suspiciously, clicked his tongue, and said, "Oh, really?"

Zhao Liangyue himself began to feel a little guilty, but he still held his chest up and said confidently, "Yes."

Bandit Chu clearly saw Zhao Liangyue's unconsciously dodging gaze, but he didn't show it, he just smiled and was in a good mood.

It seems that since the beginning of the year, his stream scales have become more and more cute.

By the time Youbai and Jin Hao finished fighting, more than an hour had passed, both of them felt hearty, and the previous anger was also quietly vented.

"I can't fight any more." Jin Hao took a sip from the water bag handed to him by his subordinate, pointed to Youbai, and said, "This little doll is very smart, and he was at a disadvantage at the beginning, but later on he learned from me. In terms of moves, Yi Hulu Hualao draws quite well, and it actually makes me feel like I am beating myself. If I continue to fight, I am afraid that I will learn everything from me."

Youbai was carefully wiping his precious epee with a handkerchief. Hearing this, he looked at Jin Hao proudly and asked, "General Jin, now admit that what I'm holding is not scrap iron?"

Jin Hao snorted, glanced at Chu Bandit, and said, "This epee is made by the Military Weapons Department, I haven't been able to get a weapon made by the Military Weapons Department so far."

Bandit Chu naturally understood Jin Hao's implication.

Five years ago, when Jin Rui came to Beijing, he wanted to use Chu Bandit's convenience to ask the Armament Department to make a weapon for his younger brother. It's nothing.

But unexpectedly, Jin Hao remembered it now with a narrow mind.

Sure enough, the general must love BMW, magical soldiers, or fine wine.

Bandit Chu laughed loudly, and told Jing Mo beside him: "Take a pen and ink and write it down now. When you return to Beijing, you must ask the Military Weapons Department to give General Jin Haojin a good weapon."

"Thank you Chu Shangshu!" Jin Hao said excitedly, "The last general also wants to forge an epee! But there is one thing, it can't be much worse than that baby Youbai's."

Bandit Chu said, "Naturally."

Youbai took the opportunity to say to Jin Hao: "It's okay to cast better than me, but don't call me a little baby again, or I will ask my son not to forge swords for you!"

Jin Hao doubted: "Chu Shangshu agreed, what's the matter with Mr. Zhao?"

Youbai proudly said: "Because Chu Shangshu listens to my young master."

When Jin Hao heard this, he ahed at first, inexplicably thinking about the wind blowing on his pillow, and then remembered that there was a rumor before that there was suspicion of love between the two adults, Chu and Zhao, from the criminal household.

Jin Hao boldly looked up at the two parties involved.

Jin Hao led troops all the year round, and there were no women in the army, and some soldiers behaved indiscreetly among themselves. He always felt disgusted, and every time he punished, he showed no mercy.

But for some reason, the same two men, Chu Shangshu and Master Zhao standing together in front of them, are surprisingly harmonious and eye-catching.

Bandit Chu was stared at by Jin Hao for a long time inexplicably, raised his hand and waved in front of Jin Hao, turned his head to look at Zhao Liangyue, and said, "Don't worry, the Lord can do this."

Zhao Liangyue: "..." Words that are so easy to misunderstand.

Sure enough, Jin Hao listened to Chu bandit's words, with a face of "I understand, I understand", he cupped his fists and bowed to each of them, and said: "The military department will trouble the two adults about casting swords."

Zhao Liangyue supported his forehead and thought, no, I don't think you understand.

Half a month later, the group arrived at the southern boundary of Ningzhou.

Jin Hao couldn't stay for a long time, so he set off back to Ningzhou. Chu Bandit and others continued to go south, going straight to a village in the north of Xiangyuan City and Yanchang Huitou.

After arriving at the place, he first connected with a fortune teller at the entrance of the village, and after a few code words, the gentleman confirmed the identities of Chu Bandit and Zhao Liangyue, and took them to a remote courtyard, where Yan Changzheng was waiting.

"Chu Shangshu, Mr. Zhao, long time no see." Yan Chang came up to salute with a smile.

Youbai cupped his fists at Yan Chang, and couldn't help but said, "Master Yan, you seem to have turned darker a lot."

Yan Chang said with a smile: "It's not due to the blessings of the two adults. If you have made meritorious service and been promoted to an official position, you will naturally have greater responsibilities. Why don't you run around and do more things?"

Zhao Liangyue said: "Master Yan has a heart for the people, and the world can learn from it. We are only thanks to you and Master Xu, so that the Ningzhou case can be quickly resolved."

Yan Chang waved his hand and said: "Master Zhao has been dismissed from office, but when it comes to Xu Ming, the two adults don't know that he has always been a character who doesn't like to go out. Since he entered the Ningzhou City Government Office as a state judge, he has to go out all the time. I let me do all the things by myself, but he is happy to be free, and he even raised a few fish, and he only needs to teach our two children when he is free, so he is not free."

Chu Bandit and Zhao Liangyue smiled when they heard the words - that's probably the case for real family friends.

After chatting for a while, the three of them went into the room, and Yan Chang explained in detail what he knew, including many details that were inconvenient to mention in the letter.

"According to Mr. Yan, the black market located to the west of Xiangyuan City is the crux of the problem. Almost all the illegal iron ore and smuggled salt disappeared there, and then flowed into Tuyuan and other places. "Zhao Liangyue flicked his finger on the map, and said, "The town where the black market is located seems to be within the territory of Daxu, but it is actually an area where no one cares."

"Master Zhao is right. It is because of this that it is extremely difficult to track down. Most of the people we followed before died." Yan Chang paused and said, "Just five days ago, the corpse of Eunuch Cao We found it, and it was killed by the Tuyuan people in the black market."

Chu Bandit and Zhao Liangyue sighed regretfully when they heard the words.

After a while, Bandit Chu asked, "So Eunuch Cao left anything?"

Yan Chang shook his head and said, "Before us, Tu Yuan's people had turned the place where Eunuch Cao lived upside down, so we didn't get anything."

"Eunuch Cao is an old man in the palace. He has always been cautious. If he knew his own death, he would definitely leave something behind." Bandit Chu said, "So, we have to investigate the place where he lived."

Yan Chang nodded, and said again: "What Chu Shangshu told me before, asking me to forge the identities of the two adults, has been done by the lower officials."

Bandit Chu didn't tell Zhao Liangyue about forging his identity in advance, so Zhao Liangyue asked Yan Chang curiously, "What kind of identity is it forged?"

Yan Chang was about to explain, but Bandit Chu gave him a look, and Yan Chang fell silent.

Zhao Liangyue looked at Chu Bandit, and Chu Bandit's peachy eyes rolled, he tilted his head and said: "Xi Lin, don't worry, let me trick you, tomorrow will see."

Zhao Liangyue said indifferently: "Childish."

Bandit Chu retorted: "This is for fun."
