Xuanyuan Sheng is a smart man, and he has already continued: "As far as the Huanzhou side, we have already received the news that the governor of Xishan Daoqiao sent Wei Tianqing to lead two thousand soldiers directly to Huanzhou City, and immediately controlled the city. Huanzhou. As Master Chu said, the Huanzhou Army was already preparing to march towards Taiyuan, but it was a pity that they were disarmed by Wei Tianqing's troops before they started. The Huanzhou Army already had ten soldiers including Qianhu Several generals have been brought under control, and the governor of Huanzhou has been temporarily placed under house arrest. Governor Yuan has sent people to detain them and come to Taiyuan."

Chu Huan said: "Huanzhou is naturally governed by Tianmen Daoists, but not all officials are like this. The less people know about this kind of thing, the better. We can't let the Tianmen Daoists go, but we can't wrong the court officials either. "

Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Governor Yuan understands this, so he will interrogate carefully."

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally asked, "What day is today?"

"It's already the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year." Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "My lord, I really wronged you this time. I spent a year underground."

Chu Huan looked down at Lin Dai'er. He fell into this trap on the night of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, so four days have passed here.

According to the time estimate, during the New Year's Eve, the suicide was spent here with Lin Daier.

Xuanyuan Sheng led the people outside to find a way to rescue Chu Huan. Seeing that the ginseng soup was almost boiled, Chu Huan picked it up, and waited for it to cool for a while before feeding it to Lin Dai'er.

Lin Dai'er didn't know if she was really afraid that Chu Huan would kiss her, but she was honest.

After more than a day like this, Chu Huan heard the sound of "cracking" from the stone slab, and then heard Xuanyuan Sheng shouting loudly on it: "Master Chu, please stay away, this diamond slab is about to open."

Chu Huan wondered, "What weapon did you find?"

"The last piercing was a long spear that Governor Yuan had treasured for many years. It was a magic weapon bestowed on him by the Holy One." Xuanyuan Sheng said with a smile: "But the long spear can only penetrate one hole. My lord, you Do you still remember the weapon that you and the last general mentioned on the banks of the Jingjiang River?"

"You mean... the Cold Moon Blade?" Chu Huan raised his eyebrows.

He did remember, that time when Xiao Chen assassinated himself with a knife in the Jingjiang River, he felt that the scimitar was very strange at the time, he drew a picture afterwards and asked Xuanyuan Shengcai, Xuanyuan Shengcai immediately recognized that it was the Cold Moon Blade.

Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "That's right, Governor Yuan has ordered the closure of all the shops of the Lu family, as well as their granaries, and now they have all been sealed up. In the past two days, people from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs have searched in Luyuan and found a lot of things. The Cold Moon Blade was also found, and it was originally sent to the Ministry of Households for record, but it was difficult to open it with an ordinary diamond tool, so the General thought of the Cold Moon Blade, so he sent someone to Governor Yuan, asking him to call the Cold Moon Blade over.”

Chu Huan laughed and said, "How effective is it?"

"My lord, you have seen that blood-drinking knife before, and it is a magic weapon, but this cold moon blade is not far behind." Xuanyuan Sheng said in admiration: "This knife can't be resisted by diamonds at all. , just like cutting tofu...!"

Chu Huan sighed, "General Xuanyuan, that's an exaggeration!"

Xuanyuan Sheng burst out laughing, and then said: "My lord, it's almost here, be careful...!" The bed was still some distance away from the diamond top, Chu Huandao was not worried, and said, "You don't have to worry, Can't hurt me."

Soon, there was a sound of "click", and Chu Huan saw the gravel falling from above. Lin Dai'er was in a daze, but when she heard the sound, she opened her eyes slightly, and she naturally knew what happened , but Chu Huan was only paying attention to the falling stone at this time, but didn't notice the dazed look in Lin Dai'er's eyes.

……

……

Governor's Palace.

Yuan Chongshang has been very busy these past few days. He was injured by General Mu in the chest, but under the current situation, he can only do things with his injuries. The first thing to bear the brunt is naturally to order the states of Anyi Road to ban it.

Send messengers to inform the states that the gates of each state city will be closed an hour earlier than before, and the gates will be opened an hour later in the morning, and after dark, each state city must send additional manpower for night patrols, and city residents are not allowed to go out at night. If the market at night, as well as the brothel music workshop, etc., must be temporarily closed for rectification.

Although General Mu was dead and the dragons had no leader, Yuan Chongshangke did not feel at ease, but tried his best to overcome the recent limelight. Who knows if those Tianmen rebellious parties will suddenly revolt.

As far as Taiyuan City, it was even more heavily protected at this time. After Yusuo Lake defeated the Huang family army, the soldiers and horses that besieged Yusuo Lake had been quickly transferred to Taiyuan City, but the state army was not allowed to enter the city, except for the imperial guards from the Governor's Mansion. To strengthen the city defense, thousands of state troops temporarily stationed outside the four gates of Taiyuan City, camped and garrisoned, as if they were facing a big enemy.

In fact, the common people in Taiyuan City didn't know that after a heavy storm just passed, the actions of the government, in the eyes of many people, seemed to be aimed at the Huang family's rebellious party.

The people in the city have spent a relatively peaceful year, but compared to previous years, this year seems to be much deserted.

According to the practice of previous years, on New Year's Eve, people will take to the streets to have fun after eating the New Year's Eve dinner.

In fact, there are many big programs, such as boat races held in various rivers in Taiyuan City, lion dances, and dragon games, and there are not a few of them. Taiyuan City will be very lively in previous years.

However, this year these programs were temporarily canceled on the day before the Chinese New Year, and the yamen even posted notices stating that on New Year's Eve, every household is not allowed to go out during the Chinese New Year at their own homes. They are all officers and soldiers on patrol. On a cold winter night, without the celebration of the New Year's Eve, the whole city looks very cold.

What Yuan Chongshang is most concerned about now is the situation at Shaoziling.

The news came that Fang Shihao's men had already controlled the Qianlong Cave, and the Tianmen Taoists in the Qianlong Cave were either killed, injured, escaped or captured, and were defeated.

The first group of messengers sent by Fang Shihao brought good news, but before Yuan Chongshang was overjoyed, Fang Shihao sent new people to report the news, and the Tianmen disciples who took out the Qianlong Cave gathered the bewitched people on the spot. The people want to recapture the Qianlong Cave, and the power is not weak. It is said that thousands of people will be gathered soon, and the number is still increasing.

After Yuan Chongshang learned about it, he knew that things were much worse than he expected.

He already knew from Chu Huan that Shaoziling Qianlong Cave was the secret armory of Tianmen Daoists, where a large number of weapons and armor were stored. The purpose of Tianmen Daoists gathering the people to take back Qianlong Cave was very simple. It is to snatch the supplies in Qianlong Cave.

Once the Taoists of Tianmen succeed, those weapons will be quickly equipped in the hands of those people, even if it is a group of mobs, but once the mobs make a noise, the Taoists of Tianmen in Anyi will still be quickly shaken, and when the time comes Anyi will still be a mess.

Of course he wouldn't allow that to happen.

He dispatched [-] troops and rushed to reinforce them. No matter what, he wanted to put down the riot in Shaozi Ridge, but the news from there had not been reported for a long time, which made Governor Yuan a little restless.

At this moment, he just wanted Chu Huan to come over quickly to solve the urgent problem.

In all honesty, Yuan Chongshang had some admiration for Chu Huan, and was even more grateful.

If it hadn't been for Chu Huan's insight into the opportunity and seeking out the enemy first, the flag of Tianmen Taoism might already be flying on the top of Taiyuan City at this time, and the head on his neck might have already been hung on the city gate for public display.

"Master, the third lady is crying and wants to see you." A voice came from outside the door, "She said that as long as she can see you...!"

Yuan Chongshang was in a bad mood, and immediately shouted coldly: "Didn't I already say, watch that bitch carefully, don't let her run away!" He sneered, "What face does she have to face me?"

"Third Madam said that a husband and wife can be married for a hundred days." A voice outside the door said: "She said that she never thought of harming you from the beginning to the end...!"

Yuan Chongshang smiled coldly, he pondered for a moment, finally picked up a saber, and came to a courtyard in the mansion, this courtyard has been guarded by more than a dozen guards, Yuan Chongshang went outside, kicked the door open, There was a click, and the third lady, who was leaning on her hands and feet with iron shackles in the room, immediately raised her head and saw Yuan Chongshang's murderous look outside, her eyes were red and tears flowed out, "Master, you...you are finally willing to come to see my concubine." ...!"

Yuan Chongshang looked indifferent, "I came to see you just to ask you, are you willing to confess about Tianmen Dao? How many things do you know about Tianmen Dao?"

The third lady wept like rain, and tremblingly said: "Master, I was forced to be a concubine. I am just a tea servant. I am grateful that the master likes it. I married him. They forced me to become a concubine...!"

Yuan Chongshang said coldly: "Even if they force you, why didn't you tell me?"

"They said that if you tell the master a word, you will kill the master." The third lady cried and said: "Master, I am afraid that they will harm you, so I can only obey their orders. They promised that as long as you listen to them, they promise I won't harm the master... I have followed the master for so many years and served him carefully, does the master think that the concubine really wants to harm you?"

Yuan Chongshang heard her cry softly, and saw that she looked weaker, her face was still as pretty as before, and he held the knife tightly, but saw the third lady's eyes full of begging, and choked up: "Master, I'm sorry You deserve to die, I just want to take a good look at you for the last time, you are my benefactor, and the man I love most in my heart, my wife...!" Tears fell like rain, she lowered her head and wept bitterly, already I couldn't make a sound.

Seeing her delicate appearance, Yuan Chongshang frowned, and said in a deep voice, "You know something, tell it, I...maybe I can lessen your guilt!"

The third lady raised her head and looked at Yuan Chongshang, with tears in her eyes, "Master, what can't I tell you?" Her autumn-like eyes stared at Yuan Chongshang's eyes, very pitifully, "Master, what can I tell you?" I will tell you everything I know...Actually, the one you burned to death was not...General Mu at all!"
