Chapter 638 Weakness
Bats fly under the moon in the mountain temple.

Two men in black, one tall and one short, came out from the dilapidated temple gate, their heads and faces hidden in the shadow of the bamboo hats, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

In the temple, more than a dozen corpses were lying here and there, and when the mountain wind swayed, the whole temple wafted a strong smell of blood.

It can't be smelled outside.

Somebody has planted a large area of ​​heather around the temple, and it grows densely, and it is blooming at this time.

The rich and pungent heather fragrance just covered the bloody smell that escaped from the crack of the door.

By the time the corpses in the abandoned temple rotted and attracted a large number of flies, and they were found and reported to the government, it was already half a month later.

This is something later.

In the early morning of the next day, a bodyguard team loaded with more than a dozen carts of goods passed by the ancient road down the mountain, and stopped at a small restaurant at the foot of the mountain to have breakfast.

A flag was planted on the leading carriage, with the four characters "Yixing Escort Bureau" written on it.Because there was no wind, it drooped listlessly.

Most people who have traveled the rivers and lakes have heard of this name.

Yixing Escort Bureau was originally one of the largest Escort Bureaus in Jianghuai.The Ningyuan Escort in Qiantang was the first choice for wealthy businessmen on both sides of the river to transport money and goods, followed by Changwei Escort in Qiantang, Fuman Escort in Gusu, and Yixing Escort.

It's just that Yixing Escort's fortunes in the past two years have not been very good.A trip to Guiyang the year before last resulted in the death of more than a dozen escorts. Since then, the number of escorts has dropped sharply, and the momentum is not as good as the other three.

The boss didn't want his ancestral business to fall into his hands, so he made connections with all parties and worked hard for two years. Finally, he saw some improvement, and lost another dart in Wuhu seven days ago.

The current dart trip was originally scheduled to be sent in late June, from Changzhou to Luoyang.

The news of the missing dart came back, and the boss didn't know what method he used to make the owner change his mind, and the car was dispatched that night.

Otherwise, once word of the missed dart spreads, the owner of the goods will know that the business will most likely fail.

Escorts run darts, relying on the word "letter".The boss did not act kindly in this matter, in order to save his reputation, he had to make a mistake in this trip.

All the skilled and experienced old escorts in the escort agency were dispatched, and through a famous local broker, they found seven or eight Jianghu people with strong martial arts skills to escort them.

These people are good swordsmen, and the asking price is very high.In order to keep the ancestral family business, the boss had no choice but to cut the flesh.

The bodyguards were burdened with heavy burdens, restless days and nights, and their weather-stained faces were even more distressed. The shopkeeper couldn't bear it, and gave each person an extra boiled egg when serving soup.

No one can associate this group of hardworking men with the murder case in the mountain temple.

Yaojia and Yaobing were in charge of the night watch yesterday, and they were sleeping soundly leaning on the car at this time.

As for Qian Yu and Yao Xin, who sneaked out to kill people in the middle of the night, because they got enough sleep in the first half of the night, they were full of energy.Chatted and laughed happily with the old bodyguards, and drank half a jar of the shop's self-brewed wine alone.

The wine was not pure, and when it was poured into a bowl, it turned yellowish-yellow, but it had a unique flavor.

On the third day, Qian Yu claimed that he had lost his purse, so he went back alone to look for it.After coming back, Yaoxin ate his stomach badly, and had stomach pains at night, so he asked to sit in the car.

That night, a governor of Huainan County and an imperial envoy who visited secretly died.

Both of them were silently killed in their bedroom while they were fast asleep, without disturbing anyone.Naturally, no one saw what the assassin looked like.

"Kill in secret, don't reveal your whereabouts." This was Xu Younan's death order to Qian Yu.

Mu Cangping has arrived in the Jianghuai River, and a net of heaven and earth has been laid.If he is not careful, he may follow the clues and find out the whereabouts of Jin Yanchen.

Qian Yupei took the token that Xu Younan gave him, and wherever he went, the "Jin Yi Xing" who received the secret order would go to the pre-appointed place to meet him, tell him the target of the assassination, and all information that would be beneficial to arrange the assassination.

The whole journey was complete, except for one Blood Bell Palace.

Before the Battle of the Wilderness, Shi Qiandie sent Qundie to attack Mu Dianke at the Yunlai Inn, but was ordered by Liu Yan privately, and did not connect with the court.

Now Liu Yan is detained by Rong Yi in the prime minister's mansion under the name of hysteria, and has no news from the outside world.

On the way back to Yunnan, Xueling Miyamoto suddenly turned back to assassinate Mu Dianke. This behavior is really puzzling.

Of course, these are not what Qian Yu should worry about.

He only needs to kill people according to the list provided to him by Jinyixing, and at the same time act as a bodyguard so as not to expose his whereabouts.

Before the trip, Xu Younan had made it clear to him that this mission was special, and once he received the order, it would be tantamount to self-imposed exile.It is possible that in the next few months or even years, all contact with Ming Palace will be completely lost.

He didn't know where the brigade was going to go next, how to get back to the brigade, he could only wait for Xu Younan to come to them.

If during this period, his whereabouts are accidentally exposed, and he is targeted by Mumen, the enemy is outnumbered, and there is no reinforcement behind him, there is only one dead end.

But Qian Yu thanked Xu Younan.

Mu Dian was her disciple, so he had to come to rescue him.

But for Ming Gong who had just experienced several fierce battles and was in desperate need of recuperation, Xu Younan was undoubtedly taking a risk in planning such an operation.

It was rare for him to see a trace of humanity from Xu Younan.

***
June is the flood season of the big river, and the turbid waves turn up, less than two inches away from the shoulder of the water-metering stoneman.

There are buildings on the bank of the river, facing thousands of hectares of mist.

Mu Cangping stood behind the railing with his hands behind his back, when the strong wind of the river blew ashore, his clothes were tumbling endlessly, and he stood still.

Qian Wanxing, who was standing behind him, was not so calm.

The leader of the big gang who ran across the Jianghuai area and monopolized the local river and water transportation for several years now lost all his usual prestige of giving orders. He leaned forward slightly, with his waist arched, in a respectful posture.

Sweaty palms.

"...the waterway... there is no trace. Around Chuzhou City, Yanzhi Lake, Hagi Water, and Lianhua Lake have all found clues, and found out that they all happened a few days ago..."

He really couldn't say this, and he had to say it.

The Yanzhi Lake is twenty miles south of Chuzhou City, the Hagi River is in the north, and the Lianhua Lake is in the west. It was finally found out that Jin Yanchen had appeared in these three places at the same time on the same day.

This is clearly the other party playing him around in circles.

Thanks to his Wanxing gang, which is known as the largest gang in Jianghuai, fish and shrimp can't swim with a net in the water, and this slap really hurt his face.

"Is there any abnormality on the roads to Youzhou and Bingzhou?" Mu Cangping asked thoughtfully.

Qian Wanxing was stunned for a moment, "No."

He didn't quite understand what it meant, "What does the lord mean, the Ming Palace has released false news that Jin Yanchen's trip is not to gather the old troops in southern Sichuan, but to go north?"

The news that Jin Yanchen was going to enter Sichuan and Shu was handed over by Mumen's hidden stake hidden in the Ming Palace.

No more audio after that.

It now appears that this news is mostly false.Given that Qian Wanxing has been operating in the Jianghuai area for many years, with deep roots and extensive trees, it is impossible not to dig out any useful clues.

Unless you followed the wrong direction from the beginning.

"Could it be that Jin Yanchen wants to take refuge in Beiguo or Qianghu to avoid disaster?" Qian Wanxing also gasped.

The determination to destroy the Ming Palace in the Southern Dynasty is already evident.How can a single Jianghu sect have the ability to confront a country.The best way to survive is to seek shelter from the enemy country. With Jin Yanchen's ability, but if he can use it, it is not difficult to fight for a world.

"Go and check." Mu Cangping said.

He didn't think that Jin Yanchen would leave the customs.

The Jin family has the pride of the Jin family.

If not, Jin Yanchen would not be tempted at all by the repeated courtship of the two princes Tuobafu and Tuobaqi.When the limelight was in full swing, Jin Yanchen didn't choose to defect to the North Country, and it was even more so at this time.

How much value can a Jianghu gang that is not tolerated by the mother country and fleeing in despair be valued?

Most likely, Jin Yanchen would choose a place where the Southern Dynasty couldn't reach, recruit troops and buy horses to strengthen his power, and after he had enough strength and capital, he would find another way out.

Since ancient times, the border between the two countries has been plagued by bandits and difficult to govern.

If Jin Yanchen's goal is the northern country, Youzhou to the north is undoubtedly a good choice.

Qian Wanxing took the order to retreat.

Mu Cangping stood alone on the river tower, watching the turbid river rushing eastward, and the geese flying high above the clouds, it was a rare open and tall scene in the Jianghuai area.

After all, he is a northerner, and he does not appreciate the elegance of small bridges and flowing water.

I also think that those will wear down people's will.

Jin Yanchen, after all, was wiped out by the misty rain.

Based on the fact that he is Mu Dianke's cousin and former fiancé, it is completely reasonable to fulfill Mu Dianke's last wish, send her to Gusu for burial, and report to Mu Zijin.

But as an avenger who bears a family feud and needs to survive at all costs, this kind of behavior is childish and ridiculous.

The best way to keep silent about Mu Dianke's death is to let the world believe in his own death.

This daughter of his...Mu Cangping felt complicated: Jin Liu has a weakness.
