Chapter 258 Who will win the destiny? (21)

The surging Yellow River water descends from the east and nourishes thousands of miles of life.

Countless yaks, yellow sheep, and wild horses stepped on cold water in the clear and shallow river water. They washed the braids of the spit-sprayed woman in the water, washed the bloody sword of the Uighur man, and then floated the desolate singing of the old man Dangxiang.

After the Yellow River water reached Hetao, the charm of the Hu people gradually disappeared with the wind, and the poetic sorrow of the Central Plains came. The Yellow River flowed from the north of Jingzhao Prefecture, Hezhong Prefecture, Zhengzhou and other places, forming countless wetlands, which became a paradise for countless animals and plants.

There is a beautiful lake more than ten miles north of Zhongmu County. This is one of the many wetlands on the bank of the Yellow River. There are a large number of reeds and cattails growing by the lake. There are many birds such as geese, egrets, wild ducks and other birds living in the lake. There are lush forests on the bank.

A group of people came from the north. They walked down the Yellow River. They were about to arrive at Zhongmu County. They suddenly left the official road and turned north, and built a tent by the lake.

More than a dozen large flags stood at the four corners of the tent, and there were fierce black eagles fluttering in the wind.

"After a few years after leaving Zhengzhou, the beautiful scenery by the lake is still there." Qian Yingnan, covered in dust, looked at the lake and the mountains and rivers, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Guo Jiong was already the deputy commander of the Black Eagle Army at this time. He was wearing black armor and carrying a horse whip. He was quite energetic and said with a smile: "Brother Qian, I have a good idea. The men traveled thousands of miles and were like clay men. We stayed by the lake for two days and let the soldiers wash it well. Daliang City is the imperial capital. We cannot enter the city with a shame and lose the reputation of the Black Eagle Army."

Qian Xiangnan was in the army for several years, and his riding skills were quite exquisite. He turned over and got off the horse and walked straight to the river. He squatted by the lake and reached his right hand into the clear lake water. A cool feeling immediately spread along his palm to his whole body. For several years, Qian Xiangnan was in the northwest army. He saw the wind, sand and continuous grasslands in the desert. The scenery of the lake has been a long-lost scenery. He held the lake water with both hands and washed his face happily.

"Brother Qian, this place is not as good as the border. There is no wolf smoke everywhere, so we don't have to tighten the bowstrings all the time. You should go home." Guo Jiong has been married to Bai Shuanghua for two years and traveled south. Although he only lasted a month, he could also feel the pain of the couple's separation. Therefore, after arriving in Zhengzhou, he advised Qian Xiangnan to go home and take a look many times.

Qian Xiangnan's eyes dripped, and the intoxicating lake water deeply aroused his longing for family. He stood up and shook his hands hard. The water droplets drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell into the water, stirring up a wave of water.

Qian Xiangnan smiled and said, "The feeling of being close to the hometown is even more timid. What the Siming Crazy Guest said is true. My old father is in Zhongmu, and you can not go back to your home in Zhengzhou. If you pass by my father's house and don't go back, you will be a son who is unfilial. The soldiers are resting here for two days, and when Brother Qian returns to the camp, we will set off."

Guo Jiong said "Ha, ha" and said, "Brother Qian didn't say it earlier. Now he has to go back to Zhongmu County and have to take another step back."

Qian Xiangnan still served as the secretary in the Black Diao Army. Compared with Guo Jiong's deputy governor, the official positions are far different. However, in the Black Diao Army, Qian Xiangnan was in charge of the military intelligence camp, and his status has always been quite transcendent. Guo Jiong respects him quite well. When they are together, they also make friends with each other as equals. They are just in front of outsiders. The two of them pretend to be a little bit.

Qian Xiangnan led twenty military camp soldiers to Zhongmu County along the original route. The 21 horses rode from Ruoergai, who were fat and strong, and were extremely strong, and his voice was like thunder while running.

Qian Xiangnan was also in a very happy mood. His wife used to live in Zhengzhou, but she had moved back to Zhongmu County three years ago to accompany the two elderly people.

Thinking of looking at his wife, son and old parents, Qian Xiangnan's cheerfulness in his heart was involuntarily overflowing on his face. As the horse galloped, he couldn't help but "hum" Hu Ge: Langya regained Langya, the king of Langya's great way. Deer moaned and thought about the long grass, and sad people missed their hometown.

This is the "Langya King Song" which is widely circulated in the north

After humming a song, he was still not satisfied, so he simply let go of his voice and sang in the wind like a Hu man: "The trees on the top of the mountain are high, and the leaves fall. After traveling thousands of miles, how should we return to the old place?"

Almost every soldier can sing this song "The Purple Horse" and the soldiers saw that they always sang steadily, and they also sang it with the sound. For a moment, the song "When you go thousands of miles, how should you return to your old place" flew away with the wind.

The ten-mile road is approaching in a blink of an eye. One mile away from the city, Qian Xiangnan had already seen the gray city walls of Zhongmu County from afar.

The soldiers in the military intelligence camp were mostly reconnaissance cavalry from the Black Eagle Army battalions, and they traveled south from the lake. Although there were only twenty-one people, they also sent two of them as front teams according to the marching habits.

Qian Xiangnan looked at the city wall and felt emotion when suddenly, the scout rider walking in front ran back quickly like the wind.

The soldiers who followed Qian Xiangnan were all the backbone of the military intelligence camp for many years. He did not dismount, but whispered beside Qian Xiangnan: "There are two corpses in the official road ahead, with black blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and he was suspected of having died of poisoning."

Qian Xiangnan's warmth disappeared without a trace. He immediately entered the working state, his eyes shining, his beard also raised, and he ordered: "You two continue to move forward, and you will warn immediately if there is any situation." He is a native of Zhengzhou and is very familiar with the terrain of this area. He also ordered the other two: "There should be a small shop not far from Xiangdong. Passing merchants should rest here and send them to take a look."

The four soldiers who received the order pulled out their knives with serious expressions and ran away.

Qian Xiangnan followed the four soldiers with sixteen soldiers and walked up the official road from the small path. The two bodies were located on the wide official road from Zhongmu to Zhengzhou.

A middle-aged soldier jumped off his war horse. He walked to the corpse, looked carefully, and said, "The two corpses are darts in the throat, and the wounds are black. It seems that the darts are poisonous."

"The corpse is still warm, the arms are moving freely, and the corpse is located on the official road, so it must be something that happens around a stick of incense."

"The corpse holds a short knife in its hand, and the short knife is very sharp."

"There are horse hoof prints on the ground, heading towards the beam."

Qian Xiangnan listened mercilessly.

Two soldiers rode their horses eastward, and soon, a short middle-aged man was placed on the horse by the soldiers and brought to Qian Xiangnan.

"Liu San, you are still opening a store here." Qian Xiangnan was once a judicial officer in Zhengzhou and a typical Zhengzhou Tongtong. He recognized the middle-aged man at a glance as the former scoundrel Liu San.

Liu San was once a famous scoundrel in Zhengzhou City. He was once famous in Daliang Nancheng for his courage. After he was thirty, he used some methods to marry a beautiful wife. From then on, he turned to justice and opened a small shop on the official road between Zhongmu County and Zhengzhou. The family was a good life. Liu San was once a model of a prodigal son returning to the scene, and was often used by Qian Xiangnan, the judicial military officer, to teach other scoundrels a lesson.

Liu San was captured by a thick sergeant and stood on the horse. He did not panic, but looked around on the horse's back. He saw that the two corpses on the ground were his customers. When he thought that he had fallen into the heart of the rough sergeant, he felt a little panic in his heart, and he heard Qian Xiangnan's voice.

"Qian joined the army, you are always good. I don't know what to do to bring the common people here." Liu San saw Qian Xiangnan staring at him with his sloping eyes open, but instead felt relieved. Qian Xiangnan has always been famous for his wit and his official reputation is very good, and he seems to have never wronged a good person.

Qian Xiangnan glanced at Liu San with a sharp look and said, "Liu San, have you seen these two people? Come here honestly."

Liu San pretended to look at it seriously and said, "These two people had eaten in our small shop and had just left."

"Is there anyone else in the store?"

"There is also a young man in white. After the young man in white left the shop, the two of them followed him. They both walked towards Zhengzhou."

As Liu San said, he was already suspicious. The boy in white seemed extremely hungry. He almost finished eating a pig's leg by himself. He said to himself: "Can this boy in white be so handsome, can he kill both of them?"

Qian Xiangnan pointed to the horse's hoof prints facing west on the official road and said, "Who is riding a horse?"

"The boy in white was walking. The two dead rode on horseback."

A sergeant behind Qian Xiangnan was watching the two corpses. Suddenly he jumped off his horse, squatted beside the corpse and looked carefully for a while. He stood up with a serious face, walked to Qian Xiangnan, handed a look, and looked at Liu San again.

The soldiers in the military camp brought out by Qian Xiangnan were all confidant. They were together almost every day. They knew each other very well. When Qian Xiangnan saw the sergeant's expression, he had guessed that he had discovered something, and was inconvenient to say it, so he said, "Take Liu San aside."

As soon as he finished speaking, he caught Liu San's soldiers just now and put Liu San on the horse like an eagle catching a chicken. Liu San knew how to act according to the opportunity. Although he was caught and caught, he was a little angry, but the hero did not suffer any loss in front of him and did not dare to resist at all.

"Mr. Qian, I know the deceased. His name is Xu Balang. He was once a sergeant in the Wolf Camp."

"You've identified it."

"That's right, when I was in Fengzhou, I had a drink with Xu Balang. Because I haven't seen him for a few years, I didn't recognize him at first sight. One of his left ear was shot by an arrow. I must be wrong. Xu Balang followed Du Gang to leave the Black Eagle Army."

Qian Xiangnan was shocked. The dozens of soldiers who followed Du Gang were all tax-minded people from the Black Eagle Army. Later, they all stayed at Daliang and became people from Feiying Hall. Now that Xu Balang died here, it must be extraordinary.

Qian Xiangnan suddenly said: "This matter must be related to the young man in white. Xu Balang and his two riding horses. Now the horse is gone. If the young man in white grabs the horse, it will definitely be on the official road. We will immediately chase after him."

Qian Xiangnan waved to another soldier from afar, and the soldier rushed back quickly with Liu San.

The official road was paved with yellow sand. Liu San ran back and forth twice on the horse. His face and body were covered with dust. When he was put down, he looked extremely embarrassed. Liu San was not losing his rogue character. Although he was as gray as a native dog, he bowed to Qian Xiangnan as usual.

"Have you seen him again after the boy in white left?"

"No."
