I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 205 New Clues
Stay overnight.

Chen Luo went back to Xiayi County and stayed for a while.

Three days later, when the official news of Wei's rebellion came, the county magistrate was shocked for a long time, thinking that the memorial he had sent up according to Chen Luo's teaching seemed to fit the current situation perfectly, and he could blame Ji Yu entirely.

The reason why the convoy did not set off immediately was that Chen Luo was persuading Qu Chongyin to go with him. After several invitations and a personal visit, the other party finally agreed.

So Chen Luo set off immediately, but instead of going west to Shanfu County and then Bo County, he changed his route to the north, avoiding the war-torn Wei land, from Juze County to Zhao Han land, and then detoured On the way back to the pass, although we have traveled a long way, we are better off in safety.

He still regretted not being able to visit the predecessor of the famous Cao County in later generations.

But the reputation of Juze County is not small.

Although it has not been a long time since it became a county-level administrative unit, it was the place where Duke Ai of Lu "hunted the forest in the west" in the Spring and Autumn Period. Until now, many hunters are still wandering in the nearby mountains, trying to catch a divine beast and offering it in exchange for it. rich.

Riding slowly on the road, Chen Luo felt a trace of water vapor in the breeze blowing towards his face, so he turned his head and asked the guide next to him: "We shouldn't be far from the big wild lake now, right?"

"Mr. Chen, your opinion is really correct and thorough. About five or six miles to the southeast is Onozawa. When you look up, you can occasionally see waterfowls flying by. It's just that winter is just over. If it is summer and autumn, the sky will It will be in pieces, which can be easily shot down with a bow and arrow." The guide introduced enthusiastically.

Ever since Zhang Erchong's misguided incident, Chen Luo's team had stricter requirements for finding a guide, almost going to the local government to find a small official who was willing to come forward, and the requirement was to be a good family member.

The current guide used to be a hunter, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut for three days and three nights when he talked about hunting ferocious beasts. Chen Luo was very interested in what he saw and heard in the mountains, and often asked about related matters curiously.

While Chen Luo was listening to the guide talking about how to make a trap for catching pheasants, Qu Chongyin came riding from behind. As a county lieutenant, he didn't have many chances to control horses, but with the saddle and stirrups, he made rapid progress.

"Mr. Chen, I have something to discuss with you in private." Qu Zhongyin's eyes were a little swollen, because he hadn't slept soundly these days, even if he lay down, he was still worrying about Chen Luo's matter.

Hearing what he said, Chen Luo turned his head and said: "Trapping pheasants is very interesting, and I also want to ask you how to catch those cunning creatures in the wilderness.

But now I need to discuss business with my subordinates, so I can only wait until the next time to listen. "

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Chen, you are busy first, and I will leave first." The guide saluted and left.

After he left, Chen Luo looked sideways at Qu Chongyin's dignified face, and asked solemnly, "Chongyin, do you have something important?"

"Please find a relatively secluded place, so that I can make a statement to you with confidence." Qu Zhongyin said cautiously. His guess was too bold, and he could not afford the revenge caused by speaking out in public.

After Chen Luo answered, he and Qu Chongyin rode to the front of the convoy, at least a hundred meters away from the people behind, and whispered at this distance without being overheard.

Seeing that the privacy was enough, Qu Chongyin took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Chen, according to my guess, those thieves who want to kill you are not the thieves from Wei Diliu as you imagined, nor are they the ones like Rebel Ji." People sent by Yu.

The reason why it's not Wei's bandits is simple. I've wiped out several bands of bandits. What they seek is wealth. They like to plunder empty towns and won't attack powerful teams.

What's more, those thieves have armor, weapons, and even dead soldiers, which cannot be cultivated by thieves.

As for why I don't think they were sent by the traitor Ji Yu to ambush you, the reason is very simple. Today's Wei State is separated from us by Hanoi County and Dang County.

It is absolutely impossible for hundreds of thieves to stealthily wear armor, carry weapons, and ride horses.

The sheriffs and county magistrates on the way were not blind, so they would definitely discover their movements and issue early warnings to nearby counties.

During this period of time, I sent people to inquire about Shanfu County, Bo County, Meng County, Jishi County, and as far as Yongqiu County, but none of them noticed such a team.

Therefore, I don't think these thieves are from Weidi, they are instigated by the traitor Ji Yu. "

Chen Luo smiled, nodded in approval and said, "Chongyin, your analysis is wonderful, and I think so too."

After hearing these words, he did not show any surprise.

After all, I have already analyzed it from the geographical position.

If such a large number of Weidi thieves were allowed to travel for hundreds of miles without any news, then the county guards and county lieutenants along the way could all be dismissed.

Qu Zhongyin was surprised and said: "Have you thought about it a long time ago?"

Chen Luo nodded slightly.

"Then why did you ask the county magistrate Pang to explain the whole story, and let him emphasize that this is a traitor from Wei?" Qu Zhongyin was puzzled.

"Having hundreds of soldiers and nearly a hundred horses, what kind of position do you think a big man can mobilize such a private army?" Chen Luoyu said earnestly, "If there is not enough evidence, then Accusing such a person will definitely shock the government and the public, and the consequences are not even something I can afford, so even if Ji Yu didn't do it, it must be him now."

Qu Zhongyin clicked his tongue immediately, not daring to ask further questions.

Owning private troops and slain soldiers is the top figure in the Han Dynasty, and even the Chehous can't do this.

and so……

The princes and kings of the Han Dynasty.

These five words weighed heavily on my heart, and it was indeed breathless.

But he looked at Chen Luo's expression still calm, and couldn't help feeling admiration.

Then, Qu Zhongyin showed a hesitant look on his face.

When Chen Luo saw it, he said with relief: "Chongyin, don't put too much pressure on your heart, those people are coming after me, and probably won't notice your existence.

But if you feel too much pressure, I can send you back now. "

Qu Zhongyin shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I will be worthy of your attention. It's just that I heard something just now and thought it was a clue, so I'm hesitant to tell it now."

"But it doesn't matter, I guarantee that only you and I will know about the conversation here." Chen Luo solemnly promised.

Pursing his lips, Qu Zhongyin said in a low voice: "In the middle of last month, the delegation of the King of Qi left Linzi. It would have passed through Shanfu County, and it might even come to our Xiayi County. They ran to Yongqiu County with great fanfare, you said..."
