After leaving Kang Chengxun's head behind, Li Ye and Song Jiao sneaked in the forest for a while, and came to a ridge. Seeing Kang Chengxun's followers took his head off, they became angry on the spot, and smashed countless trees with their spells. In the shining white light, they hesitated for a moment, but as Li Ye expected, they retreated one after another.
In July, the night is very good most of the time, and it is the same today. The mountains and forests bathed in the clear light are undulating. Song Jiao sat down on a raised rock and breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't afraid that she wouldn't be able to cope with the pursuit, but that she was worried that after the other party chased after him, with Li Ye's cultivation, it would be difficult for her to retreat completely.
Taking out the bong at her waist, Song Jiao skillfully rolled the tobacco leaves, lit it and took a puff. When she exhaled the smoke ring, she looked intoxicated.
Li Ye sat down beside Song Jiao, and took a short rest: "Presumably by now, Lin Zhong and Lao Qi have already made arrangements, right?"
Song Jiao glanced at Li Ye with strange eyes: "You just killed Kang Chengxun, and you're worried about others before you're out of danger?"
Li Ye said: "I have no choice but to pretend to be these two people. After today's incident, they will naturally not be able to appear in front of people again, including their family members. We must make proper arrangements, at least to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives and will not be bullied. "
Song Jiao pursed her lips: "It's long-winded. Both Lin Zhong and Lao Qi are arranged in a manor outside the city. Don't worry, as long as you don't lose power, they will always live comfortably. Lao Li never asks about these trivial matters."
Prince An's Mansion also has land property, and if there is land property, there will naturally be a manor.
It is not the first time for Li Ye to hear Song Jiao call Li Xian Lao Li. He didn't find it strange. He smiled and said, "Father doesn't ask because he knows you well and knows that you can handle things impeccably. Worse, I don’t know you well enough.”
Song Jiao was smoking a cigarette, looking at the mountains and forests in a daze: "Then you have to understand quickly."
Li Ye smiled: "I want to know more about it, and you have to give me a chance."
Song Jiao withdrew her gaze, and cast a sideways glance at Li Ye: "Little pervert, what are you thinking, and you want to molested my old lady?"
Li Ye spread his hands and said innocently: "If you are like this, you won't be able to chat. After getting along for so long, don't you realize that I am really pure?"
Song Jiao snorted and dismissed it: "My mother has eaten more salt than you have eaten. My wife knows exactly what kind of virtue a man is."
Li Ye sighed: "Don't keep calling yourself old lady, as pure as I am, you are as young as you are."
Song Jiao put away the cigarette stick: "Then I'm afraid I've been buried in the loess pile for I don't know how many years."
While talking, the two stood up one after another, ready to continue on their way. This place is still some distance away from Chang'an, but if they rush back now, Li Ye can still catch up for an hour before Yingmao tomorrow morning.
It's just that before the two left, Song Jiao stopped first, grabbed Li Ye, shook her head slightly at him, and at the same time looked warily not far in front of her.
The two of them stood still, and within a few feet, a group of people appeared from behind the forest a few feet ahead. There were not many people, only seven or eight people. Judging from their appearance, they were all dressed in brocade clothes and jade belts, no doubt they were people with official status. Looking at their behavior, they all have the demeanor of a master.
To Li Ye's surprise, among this group of people, he found faces of other races, that is, grassland people.
The leader is a middle-aged man, and he is the only one who doesn't have brocade clothes and jade belts, but only wears a green shirt, with a refined face, but his eyes are majestic, obviously he has been in a high position for a long time.
"Although Kang Chengxun deserved to die, he never thought that he would die at the hands of two postmen. Why didn't you dare to show your true colors when you two did this for heaven's sake, so that I can admire their demeanor ?” The man in the blue shirt stood with his hands behind his back. He was standing relatively high, so he appeared condescending at the moment.
Li Ye didn't say a word, he was still dressed as a servant, comparatively speaking, the older man Song Jiao pretended to be was more suitable for answering the other party.
"If you want to thank us, then you don't have to, just get out of the way. If you want to stop us and ask the court for credit, just do it." Song Jiao sneered.
The man in the green shirt showed a smile: "You and I met by chance, how can we say thank you and kill each other?"
Song Jiao said disdainfully: "At first glance, you are not from the Central Plains, you must be from the north, not to mention there are grassland people following you? Among the three towns in Hebei, do you belong to Lulong Jiedushi in Youzhou, or Chengde Jiedu in Zhenzhou?" What? In my opinion, Youzhou is more likely because it is adjacent to the grassland, and there are mostly grassland people in the army, and there are even grassland barbarians among the monks."
"Since you are from the three towns of Hebei, if you say that you have no trouble with Kang Chengxun, no ghost will believe it. Didn't the two of us kill Kang Chengxun today just to help you? If it is as expected, you are here to kill Is Kang Chengxun coming? He beat the dog in the water and chased him all the way to Luoyang, and the three towns in Hebei are unruly, which is really eye-opening."
From the southeast of the river to Luoyang, through the territory under the jurisdiction of the Weibo Jiedu Envoy, no matter whether the opponent is a member of the Wei Bo Jiedu Envoy, it is impossible to make a move in the Weibo Jiedu Envoy's territory, and leaving the Weibo Jiedu Envoy's jurisdiction to cross the Yellow River south, you can quickly reach Luoyang.
The man in green shirt nodded his head in silence after hearing Song Jiao's words. The monks behind him all showed awe-inspiring expressions. Obviously, what Song Jiao said was right, if not all, partly.
"Since that's the case, we should really thank you, so why do you talk about killing each other?" After a while, the man in the blue shirt still said with a smile.
"Grinding and chirping, it's really unpleasant." If Song Jiao is really a man, she will spit at this time, "Kang Chengxun was stationed in Hedong to check and balance the three towns in Hebei and Li Guochang. Now that he is dead, there is no guarantee that the court will not suspect him." Your heads. Kill us, or capture us, force us to find out our identities, and then throw it to the government, and the truth of this matter will be revealed, and you will naturally not be suspected."
Speaking of this, Song Jiaomi tilted at the other party: "If you want to do something, just do it, don't delay me going back to sleep."
The man in the green shirt fell silent again.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense with them, this guy is so arrogant, you get angry when you see it, why don't you just do them!" Behind the man in the blue shirt, a big man said angrily.
The man in the blue shirt was silent.
Li Ye took a deep breath, mobilized his spiritual energy secretly, and was ready to take out Lu Gujian and fight with the opponent.
Song Jiao sneered and said: "Looking at your timid appearance, how can you not be worthy of the domineering style of the three towns in Hebei? Could it be that you are not under the command of the Jiedu envoy of the three towns in Hebei, but Li Guochang, the envoy of Zhenwu Jiedu? Yes, everyone said that Li Guochang was behind the scenes that Kang Chengxun was forced to leave the town, so it’s true if you think about it. It seems that you are indeed Li Guochang’s people, and only his people can grind things like this.”
As she said that, Song Jiao suddenly yelled, "Do it or not, let me tell you something!"
"General!" The big man behind the man in the blue shirt couldn't help but want to make a move.
The man in the blue shirt waved his hand to stop the big man's move. He took a deep look at Song Jiao and smiled unabated: "Kang Chengxun is a fish and meat commoner, harming the east of the river, and all people with lofty ideals in the world can kill him. If you kill him, you will be a hero. Two Since you are a hero, how dare someone offend you?"
The man in the green shirt cupped his fists: "There will be a period later."
After saying that, turn around and leave.
The people behind him were a little stunned, but the attitude of the man in the green shirt had already indicated that they could only follow his orders, and disappeared into the forest one after another.
Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but take a good look at Song Jiao.
"Look at what?"
Li Ye shook his head and sighed softly: "It seems that I really don't know enough about you."
Song Jiao's strength is not only strong in her cultivation, but also in her xinxing means. If not, how can she just say a few words to eliminate a fierce battle and make the opponent willingly retreat
Now that the other party showed up, he obviously had the intention of making a move.
After all, Song Jiao was once Li Xian's arm, with a past of all-powerful, and the ability to move the world.
On the way back to Chang'an, Song Jiao said to Li Ye: "This group of people should be the Lulong Jiedu envoy of Youzhou."
Li Ye said: "A few years ago when the Pang Xun Rebellion was suppressed, Yinshan General Zhu Xie Chixin led the brave cavalry of the Shatuo tribe and made great achievements in Xiangyang and Huainan successively. He was named Li Guochang by the imperial court and was awarded the Zhenwu Jiedu Envoy. Sitting in Shuozhou."
"The three towns of Hebei have ruled the land of Hebei for many years. Now a Zhenwu Jiedu envoy is added suddenly. Naturally, the original three towns don't want to see it. It's also thanks to Li Guochang's Shatuo cavalry who are brave and good at fighting, and the Yinshan garrison is extremely elite. There are so many masters, and the three towns in Hebei can't suppress it, which is why they are allowed to sit big. But over the years, as Li Guochang's power has grown, the three towns in Hebei have been fearful. This time Li Guochang plotted against Kang Chengxun, the three towns in Hebei will naturally take the opportunity to do something .”
"The three towns of Weibo, Lulong, and Chengde in Hebei are also controlled by the Lulong Jiedu Envoy of Youzhou. The land under its jurisdiction borders on the most borders with Li Guochang, and the conflict of interests is the greatest. Therefore, this time the Lulong Jiedu Envoy sent monks to hunt down and kill Kang Chengxun. It's not surprising that they want to blame Li Guochang for this matter."
Li Ye was silent for a moment, then continued: "The three towns in Hebei, plus Li Guochang, did not follow the orders of the imperial court at the top, and there were internal disputes at the bottom. This was originally an opportunity for the imperial court to check and balance Hebei. Unfortunately, in the current imperial court, the emperor is fatuous and only cares about pleasure. The ministers are fighting among parties and have no intention of sharing the country, so I can't take care of these."
Song Jiao smiled and said, "You are outspoken."
Li Ye now understood in vain that the reason why Song Jiao was able to make those masters retreat with a few words was nothing more than grasping three points.
First, he showed his knowledge of the court and Hebei affairs, so as to show his extraordinary identity, so that the men in blue shirts were jealous, thinking that they came from the court forces, and further believed that Kang Chengxun's death was due to the imperial court's party struggle. Dare to do it easily.
Second, after many trials, it was determined that the other party was likely to be a member of the Jiedushi of Youzhou, so he intentionally described the other party as someone from Li Guochang, so that the other party thought that they would report this matter to the important person behind them, and thus treat Li Guochang Dissatisfaction caused the court to put pressure on Li Guochang.
Third, the attitude is tough and full of confidence. After the green-clothed man suspected that Song Jiao and Li Ye's identities were extraordinary, seeing their attitudes, he would also be afraid of whether they would have someone to take care of them secretly.
With Kang Chengxun dead, the man in the green shirt and the others didn't need to take the risk of causing trouble, so it's not surprising that they retreated.
