Chapter 105 Yihe Town

That night, Feng Jiang sneaked out of Chang'an City.

Looking for Wei Yixue, Feng Jiang was planning for the worst.

No matter what you do, you have to leave a way for yourself.

Although this matter is dangerous, Feng Jiang is not a reckless person, and whether to do it depends on the situation.

As the chief guard of the palace, since he was paid by others, he still had to work for them.

If there is a chance to kill Tian Duanming, Feng Jiang will not hesitate.

If he really couldn't find a chance, he wouldn't forcefully assassinate him.

After running for five hundred miles overnight, the first half was riding a horse, and then the horse was exhausted, so Feng Jiang used his lightness kung fu to go on the road with all his strength.

'Yihe Town', a small town on the upper reaches of the Yihe River.

Feng Jiang arrived here at dawn the next day.

Yihe Town is the place that Luoyang must pass through on the official road to Chang'an.

Feng Jiang is going to wait here.

Yihe Town is very lively, there are activities in the early morning.

Feng Jiang saw that many of them were members of the caravan.

Chu Jingye's rebellion in Yangzhou has not had much impact on the caravan here.

Maybe some trading houses got the news, but the goods have to go, at least not yet in the west to respond.

As for whether the goods can go further east, it has to be considered by Luoyang.

Feng Jiang estimated that there are still eight or nine hundred miles to Luoyang. It stands to reason that Tian Duanming left a few days ago and can arrive here in about three or four days.

For this reason, he was not in a hurry. He was familiar with the surrounding terrain and made an assassination plan.

The so-called surrounding terrain does not mean the vicinity of Yihe Town, but the terrain between here and Chang'an. He must try his best to be familiar with it. If time permits, he has to advance to Luoyang.

Feng Jiang wanted to find a suitable place for the assassination, so that he could get away with one successful blow.

"Jiming Mountain?" Three days later, Feng Jiang looked at the map spread out on the table in the inn room.

These are some dangerous places marked by him after inspecting the official road in three days, suitable for ambush, assassination and so on.

Combining various factors, Feng Jiang pointed his finger on a mountain peak marked Jiming Mountain.

Jiming Mountain is more than 200 miles west of Yihe Town. It is named because the peak of the mountain looks like a crowing rooster. It is still the boundary of Luoyang, and a little further west is the jurisdiction of Chang'an County.

"Jiming Mountain robber?" Feng Jiang frowned slightly.

Before he left the city, he heard Chu Zhen mention the bandits in Jiming Mountain, but he didn't pay attention at that time.

Now that I think about this group of robbers, it's not easy.

Of course, in the past three days, he also heard about some evil deeds of the Jiming Mountain robbers.

In just over half a month, several tragedies have occurred. Those caravans that were robbed almost lost their lives and money, and only a few people escaped by chance.

Feng Jiang secretly lamented that Wei Yixue was lucky enough not to meet this gang of robbers, otherwise, when Old Man Xiong was away, he would not be a match for the Jiming Mountain robbers at all.

According to the relevant clues collected, Feng Jiang can basically confirm that this group of bandits has at least three masters of the extreme realm, and they are not beginners, but should be masters in the middle and late stages.

This is Feng Jiang's conservative estimate.

It is not uncommon for top masters to become robbers and bandits. It is not uncommon for even more powerful masters to do some dirty deeds.

But they appeared here at this point in time, which made Feng Jiang think a little more.

Jiming Mountain is a dangerous mountain in Jiming Ridge, with jagged rocks and lush trees. The official road from Luoyang to Chang'an just passes by the foot of the mountain. If someone lays an ambush here, it is difficult to be found.

However, Feng Jiang was still a little puzzled by the behavior of this group of robbers.

If they really have any other purpose, then they shouldn't be so exposed.

Like myself, if he wants to kill someone, he must hide himself and act in secret.

It doesn't look like they have any other purpose in being exposed like this.

Is it just a group of robbers who robbed money?

Are you thinking too much?
In order to formulate a plan to assassinate Tian Duanming, Feng Jiang had to be cautious, taking into account every detail.

Otherwise, once there is a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous.

Rubbing his swollen temples, Feng Jiang stretched again.

"Let's eat something first." Feng Jiang realized that it was getting late and he was a little hungry.

He took the map on the table to the burning candle and lit it, burning it to ashes.

Yihe Town, located on an important road, is more prosperous than some small towns.

Due to the large number of people coming and going, the consumption here is driven.

There are many inns, restaurants, and even brothels, and the business is good.

Feng Jiang directly ordered a few dishes on the second floor of the restaurant in the inn.

He put the dragon tooth on the table, and now the dragon tooth scabbard and handle are camouflaged.

The original scabbard was covered with a scabbard. As for the handle of the scabbard, it was wrapped with several layers of gauze and painted with some paint. As long as you don't pull the scabbard out yourself, outsiders will not be able to see the shape of the scabbard.

Longya still had to be brought by his side, Feng Jiang couldn't put it anywhere else.

I came out to engage in assassination, so I should try my best to avoid anyone who might expose my identity.

Longya's knife shape still cannot be exposed.

Although many people use this imitation knife, Tian Duanming once died.

If people knew that it was done by a master who used dragon teeth to imitate knives, they would easily target themselves in Xiangwang's mansion.

Even if it wasn't for him, Tian would probably put this matter on his own head, not for himself, in Tian's eyes he was just a small person, not worthy of their attention, he just used this as an excuse to involve the palace.

Feng Jiang felt that the Tian family might not be able to satisfy a prime minister's mansion at that time, so he might have to point directly at Princess Ningping, right?
This kind of thing is not uncommon in court battles. A major tragedy caused by a small person can kill all the first-rank officials in the court.

After drinking a glass of wine, Feng Jiang secretly laughed at himself, thinking too much.

He doesn't drink much, but the alcohol content in this world is not high, and most of them are rice wine, so you won't get drunk if you drink a little.

In fact, with his skill, it was easy to force the alcohol out of his body.

The diners in the restaurant chatted all over the world, all kinds of news were true and false.

Feng Jiang got a lot of news from these people before.

Most of them travel far and wide, but there is a lot of news.

"A bandit from Jiming Mountain." Feng Jiang secretly shook his head.

The merchants in the past were very afraid of this group of people.

Many convoys heading west temporarily stopped or slowed down.

There are many people talking about it around.

It's almost the same as what Feng Jiang heard these days, nothing new.

At this time, he will not go out to inspect the terrain, but will squat here.

Tian Duanming and his party may arrive at any time, wouldn't it be ridiculous if they missed it?
"I have decided to leave for Chang'an tomorrow."

"Yeah? You don't want to die? Those thieves are too fierce."

"Not afraid."

"Don't be kidding me."

"Brother, we have been friends for more than ten years, so I will tell you a secret." So the two put their heads together and whispered in private.

They thought they were being careful, but they couldn't escape Feng Jiang's ears.

"Let me tell you that the convoy of Cui's Trading Company will leave tomorrow. I think it should be safe to follow them."

"Cui's firm? The largest firm in Luoyang?"

"Who else could it be but them? I don't think those robbers would dare to attack Cui's business, no matter how arrogant they are?"

"Brother, thank you for telling me, then I will be with you tomorrow. If this business makes a profit, it will be all up to my brother. When I arrive in Chang'an, I will be in charge of everything."

"Then I'm welcome."

The next thing was that the two flattered each other, Feng Jiang didn't pay any more attention.

Feng Jiang knew about Cui's firm.

It is the property under the name of the Cui family, the first family in Luoyang.

The Cui family has gone through several dynasties, and there are children who occupy high positions, and their influence spreads all over the court and localities. It can be said that it is the No. 1 prominent family in the world.

With such a powerful force, even the imperial court would not dare to move rashly.

The bandits on Jiming Mountain are extremely skilled. Feng Jiang thinks that they should not be ignorant. If they touch the Cui family, wouldn't they be looking for death?
Feng Jiang didn't pay much attention to these things, because when he moved his ears, something caught his attention.

"Third Master?" Feng Jiang faintly heard someone calling this voice outside the restaurant.

After shouting, another person immediately covered his mouth and made no sound, obviously not wanting to reveal his identity.

Feng Jiang called Xiao Er to pay the bill, and then went out of the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, Feng Jiang turned to the side alley, where the voice came from just now.

When turning around, Feng Jiang happened to see two people turning around at the corner ahead.

Without hesitation, follow up immediately.

Three masters, such a title is a bit sensitive.

It's usually the title of the bandit leader, and it's probably not a good thing.

There are bandits from Jiming Mountain nearby, and he doesn't have time to find out their details, so if there is an opportunity, he must not miss it.

Feng Jiang thought in his heart, hoping that the two of them had something to do with this group of robbers.
