The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

[4300 words, so it’s a bit late]

Southeast of the Imperial City.

The scattered and scattered teams riding one step at a time are marching in the snow one after another.

Shen Lian looked back at the longer and longer tail of the team. He was already anxious and eager. He couldn't help but ride a horse to catch up with the leader Sun Shaozong, suggesting: "My lord, since there is no such hot ball near the imperial city. The soldiers and horses dispatched from the palace are missing. Why don't we give up these half-hearted patrols and Qingqi gallops to catch up. It's better than being dragged down by them!"

He had heard the term "hot air balloon" from Sun Shaozong before, but remembered that it was not very true, so he called it a hot ball.

Sun Shaozong squinted at him: "As the saying goes,'Every big event has quietness.' You have always been a calm and old man. Why are you so uncontrollable?"

Shen Lian was speechless, and swallowed with a wry smile. He also noticed that his emotions were not right, but now in this situation, how many people can be as stable as Lord Sun?

He didn't know that after Sun Shaozong retracted his gaze and looked at the snowy sky, he was anxious and almost unable to control himself.

Although the snow was not big, it was enough to hide the footprints on the street. However, the breeze was blowing from east to west or from south to north. It was even more difficult to judge the hot air balloon's whereabouts based on the wind direction.

In addition, the falling snow affects visibility...

Probably only by sending people from door to door to ask those people who stay behind closed doors, can it be possible to confirm the correct pursuit.

but……

Sun Shaozong also glanced back at the patrolmen who were scattered in the sand, feeling embarrassed in every way.

Shen Lian always had fewer soldiers. In the past, there were fewer enemies and more enemies. Almost everyone was injured. It was not easy to send them to search along the street, so they could only use the latter patrols.

But the patrols were all forced by him, and they really wanted to be thrown out. I guess they didn't wait to find a trace of the hot air balloon before they ran away.

unwise!

I knew I should have called some family members to follow me.

Having been in a dilemma for a long time, seeing that there was another crossroad in front of him, Sun Shaozong gritted his teeth and decided to throw the patrols out to explore the way-if they can't rush over before the hot air balloon hits the ground, what use is there even if there are too many patrols?

"Master, Master Sun!"

Just at this moment, several people came from the slanting side. The leading brocade robe and jade belt were inlaid with gold and silver, and the shoulders were adorned with two eye-catching patches.

"Hong Jiu? Why are you here?"

Recognizing that the person was the beggar Baozheng whom he had promoted at the beginning, Sun Shaozong's heart moved, and he hurriedly greeted him.

The two sides got together, Hong Jiu hurriedly rolled off the saddle, and knelt down on one knee, saying: "I heard that you have been implicated in the Prince's case. The villain is really upset, so he sent a few men to guard near your house. Now."

Having said that, he looked at Shen Lian who was catching up from behind, and continued: "When Shen Qianhu broke through, they all saw it really, so..."

"Without further ado!"

Sun Shaozong interrupted his words and asked: "How many people did you bring? There will be only a few, right?"

"The next hundred and ten people will be here soon!"

Hong Jiu pulled his chest out and said proudly: "The other little one has ordered someone to inform the Twelve Baozheng in the inner and outer cities, saying that you want to track down the imperial court. You can't mobilize thousands of people in one hour!"

"Good good!"

Sun Shaozong couldn't help being overjoyed, and he really did not expect that he would have such a return today to solve the evil move of the beggar in the city!

However, a beggar head in Hongjiu District can pull thousands of people in the capital in just a short time. Obviously, he has the potential to be a big one-but this is all later. At the moment, if you only hate fewer people, how can you feel too much?

When the group of beggars arrived, Sun Shaozong immediately ordered the two beggars to assemble a patrol, separate more than 30 teams of men and horses, call the door from the southeast of the East Imperial City, and ask if any officers and soldiers have crossed the border before.

Although the beggars are half-collected by the government and take on some responsibilities for prevention and treatment, they are still at the bottom of the society. They are usually accustomed to all kinds of blindness. Now they have the support of Mrs. Sun, and there are patrols around them. Relying on it, he is a man of great power and prestige.

Many people are looking for the big family to harass them, and they are making trouble for a while.

Here, ‘Beggars’ disciples’ arrived one after another, causing the search team to gradually expand.

After two quarters of an hour, we got the exact news.

Sun Shaozong immediately led the team to pursue along the road, searching and searching all the way, and stopped and stopped. When he saw Lingchunfang in the outer city, a local beggar came to report that there were four or five hundred dragon guards in front of him, and he was scattered all around. search for.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly ordered to gather the team to ask what was going on. After learning that the officers and soldiers were searching around and couldn't help looking up into the sky, he guessed that it was because of snow that blocked the view. The dragon guard sent by the palace also chased and lost the hot air balloon. .

"My lord, what shall we do now?"

Shen Lian also came to the same answer. He had delayed all these efforts before. He was afraid that the hot air balloon had fallen into the enemy's hands. Now that he heard that the other party was also chasing and lost, his heart was immediately excited.

Sun Shaozong groaned for a moment, and immediately ordered: "You gather all the patrols in one place, arrange the queue-and then pick some strong beggars, and put them behind the team for a strong momentum."

"I will understand at last!"

Then he told Hong Jiudao: "Find a few clever men and find a way to figure out where the leaders of the Dragon Guards are!"

"Don't worry, adults, let's make arrangements for the younger ones!"

The two took their orders separately.

After another two quarters of an hour, Shen Lian reluctantly assembled a team of more than 300 people-after all, the beggars are mainly old and weak women and children.

Fortunately, in the snow ~www.readwn.com~, the visibility is relatively low, otherwise you can see at a glance that there are a lot of people behind the team.

At this time, Hong Jiu also got accurate news-mainly in the five hundred dragon guards, there was only one civil official who was guarded.

Following Sun Shaozong's order, the team marched again. To maintain the queue, and to change the route according to Hong Jiu's intelligence from time to time, it took half an hour to encounter the Dragon Guards team.

In the previous few times, there were small groups of people on the opposite side. They didn't dare to confront this side. They just shouted a few times from a distance, and quickly withdrew without a response.

In this way, he traveled for nearly a mile and a half before finally colliding with the opponent's core team.

Since the report had been received earlier, at this time, there were two to three hundred people gathered on the opposite side, and a blue-robed civil official was riding on the horse, like rice dumplings wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside.

"The incoming people stop, the incoming people stop!"

"Where are you from? Don't you know that the saint has a will, the three camps and one guard must stay in place and not move?!"

Several guards on the opposite side rode forward and shouted, Sun Shaozong ignored them, until the two sides were not far apart, and then raised the giant sword in his hand high.

"Array!"

The soldiers on both sides of Shen Lian drew their weapons without hesitation, but the guards behind them had different thoughts, sparse and hesitant, and in the end only half of them raised their weapons.

Fortunately, the visibility was low, and the opposite side didn't notice the abnormality for a while. Seeing that there was already lined up here, they also hurriedly waited in a panic.

At this time, Sun Shaozong rode his horse a few steps forward, stretching out Frostmourne and shouting: "The official is Dali Shaoqing Sun Shaozong, where are you from the team? Who is the leader? Go forward and answer to the official!"

As the so-called shadow of the famous tree of man, Sun Shaozong has traveled through it for nearly seven years. I dare not say that it is Megatron China, but the officials and people of the capital do not know it.
