Chapter 13 The Mystery of Spoon City
On this day, Lin Zixian was training at the training ground as usual, when he suddenly received a military order saying that some bandits gathered in Zhishan to harass the people, which made the local officials helpless and asked them to send troops to exterminate them.

After receiving the order, General Huo took Lin Zixian and a thousand soldiers to Zhishan Mountain to suppress the bandits. Zhishan Mountain was not far away, and he arrived in less than a day. Several mountain bandits rebelled, and did not make a plan to suppress the bandits in advance.First sent a few soldiers to the mountain to find out the reality of these bandits so that they could go up the mountain to attack, but the soldiers sent up the mountain never returned.

There were no people at the foot of the mountain, and they didn't know what was going on on the mountain. The soldiers started to be suspicious and dared not go up the mountain. Lin Zixian took the initiative to ask General Huo for his order, willing to go up the mountain to investigate, but General Huo firmly disagreed and insisted on letting him guard at the foot of the mountain.

The sun is about to set, and there are still no soldiers coming back to report, but waiting like this is not an option. The soldiers who went up the mountain are all missing inexplicably, and they don’t know whether they are dead or alive. Why not go up the mountain together and have a look, but General Huo still stands still and sends orders Standing on the spot, without knowing the situation, how dare you go up the mountain rashly, and ordered anyone not to go up the mountain without permission.

In the early morning of the second day, General Huo couldn't bear it any longer. Suppressing bandits was not a difficult task at first, and ordinary generals had already rushed up, but this General Huo, although he had experienced many battles, was old Gao, he was a little suspicious, and with Li Zixian by his side, he would have more worries, but waiting this way is not an option, he still issued an order to attack the mountain, and he ordered half of the soldiers to stand by at the bottom of the mountain, and the other half to split into two directions. Attacked at the top of the mountain, but there was no one on the way. The soldiers tremblingly came to the top of the mountain, but they still didn’t find anything. It’s really strange. How could there be no one, and they didn’t find the soldiers or corpses who went up the mountain to explore the road before? There is only one thatched hut on the top of the mountain, and it doesn't look like there are people living there. There is no place where bandits live.

After so many years of fighting, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation. When I went to suppress the bandits, I didn’t even see a single bandit. After dispatching so many soldiers, there were still a few missing and found nothing. Something is wrong and suspicious.

General Huo hurriedly led the soldiers back. When they entered the border of Mingzhou, they passed a long and thin canyon with steep mountains on both sides. The road in this canyon was extremely narrow, and the soldiers were walking carefully. The flying arrows shot directly at them, and the soldiers walking in front didn't react and were shot to death on the spot.

Who would have expected that so many soldiers would dare to attack in broad daylight, and the soldiers behind were a little flustered and retreated hastily.At this time, a few masked men in black came down from the mountain. These men were very fast, fierce, and with extraordinary martial arts. They went straight to Lin Zixian. Lin Zixian was still young, and his martial arts were not as good as these guys. After a few tricks, they are at a disadvantage. These people are very ruthless, and their swords are deadly. Lin Zixian was killed by them.

At this critical moment, General Huo rushed over, stood in front of Lin Zixian, fought desperately, and finally repelled the group of masked killers. Lin Zixian was also stabbed several times, and his life was at stake.During the fight, someone grabbed his arm desperately, and he tried his best to break free. In the process, he found that the killer had a crescent-shaped scar on his left hand. General Huo tried his best to protect Lin Zixian. Succeeded, fled in a panic.

Those who were caught all bit their tongues and killed themselves. They didn't live, and they didn't leave any valuable clues.It is not known who did the murder, let alone the person behind the scenes.

Lin Zixian was seriously injured, and suddenly fell into a coma. General Huo hurried him to the government office of Mingzhou, and found the best local doctor to treat him. After a day and a night, the high fever finally subsided, and when he woke up, his life was saved. , everyone let out a long sigh of relief.At this time, someone came to report that Shaocheng had been attacked by the enemy and had fallen.When General Huo heard this, he was shocked and almost fell down.

He ordered the soldiers to hurry to Shaocheng to find out the truth. When the soldiers came to the gate of the city, they found that the gate was closed and the guards on the city wall had been replaced. They believed that the city was lost and had to retreat to other places.Think otherwise.

It was later verified that the military order sent that day was a fake. The original military order stated that the enemy army was coming to attack the city and be prepared to defend the city.

The matter was reported to the emperor, saying that Shaocheng had fallen. The emperor was furious when he heard that, and ordered General Huo to be convicted of ineffectiveness in resisting the enemy, dismissed from his post, and exiled to the frontier.

The people behind this scene not only transferred the tiger away from the mountain to seize the city, but also took Lin Zixian's life. The Lin family didn't know who they offended, they didn't find out after a long time of investigation, and they couldn't guess who would be the killer, but they still refused to let go In the past few years, he has repeatedly sent killers to assassinate him secretly, always wanting his life, but he is very cautious and has never given them a chance to succeed.

I have long wanted to arrest this group of people, but the war is tight and I have no time to pay attention to it. I just use this rare free time to find out the matter and find the person who framed them back then. He has always felt ashamed of Mr. Huo General, I really want to give him justice.

When Jiang Sijun saw the real Liu Shiyue, he didn't hate her as much as before. This woman who had never met lived in his life and brought him great pain. We met today However, I feel that this woman is also quite courageous, unlike Situ Feng's appearance of a savage young lady, and also different from the soft image of other boudoir ladies.Thinking about Princess Kangping being able to pretend to be her, he may also befriend her. They are cousins, so the relationship is naturally unusual. He wants to help the Liu family both in public and in private.

Naturally, Lin Zixian didn't know what his good brother was thinking. After seeing Liu Shiyue, he felt that she might be a lively and straightforward person, but now that she encountered difficulties and suppressed her nature, he really liked her very much. A little girl with this kind of temperament, she looks good, I don't know if Jiang Sijun can fall in love with her, she is very pleasing, he also hopes that his good brother can find a woman who understands righteousness, and he will also help him He is happy, and thinking about Princess Kangping is not bad, but she is a weak woman, she seems sensible and obedient, and it feels good to marry her, much better than expected.

Lin Zixian said to Jiang Sijun: "Brother Si Jun, I think Miss Liu is pretty good, you can consider it."

Jiang Sijun didn't bother to explain to him, and didn't want him to know what he wanted, so he replied perfunctorily: "Very well, I have exactly that intention."

I want to help the Liu family find out the case. Her brother and I also have some friendship, so I have to help her from any angle." He still had another idea and didn't say it out, that is, he felt that she should have a good relationship with Princess Kangping, so Also have the opportunity to see her often.
