Chapter 1170: The Geng character scroll is peeling off

Chapter 1170 The Geng scroll is peeling off the cocoon and trying to make up for it.

 Feng Ziying, escorted by Sanjie You, Zuo Liangyu and Busia Mara, returned to the largest Long'an Inn in Yutian County and stayed there.

 The pain in his shoulder made him a little tired. In this era, there were no anesthetics and painkillers, so he could only bear the pain.

 Fortunately, Third Sister You was already very smart and carried the golden healing medicine with her, and Busia Mara also replaced Feng Ziying's medicine with specially prepared herbs from their tribe, which finally relieved the pain a little.

Sitting in the chair, Feng Ziying's expression had returned to calmness. Feng Ziying was also greatly surprised by Busia Mara's sudden appearance. She didn't know why this woman suddenly appeared in Yutian.

Although Da Zhou did not have any special restrictions on the leaders of the Ye He tribe, it was definitely not appropriate for her to enter and exit Shuntian Mansion and Yongping Mansion at will.

Yongping Mansion can still be said to have three thousand Yehe cavalry, but Shuntian Mansion itself is still in a state of semi-martial law, and people's hearts have not yet calmed down.

The Mongols have just retreated, and there are still many stragglers and some horse thieves wandering around. The people and police officers of several counties are patrolling around. Especially when the refugees are meandering eastward, social security is even worse. Chaos, running around like Bushyamarahao, is certainly unwelcome.

"Why did you come to Yutian? Is there anything special?" Feng Ziying broke the silence when she saw Busia Mara sitting across from him uncomfortably.

"Why, you're not welcome? This Shuntian Mansion is not Yongping Mansion. Do you still care whether I can come or not?"

Busia Mara spoke very hastily, which made Feng Ziying look helpless, "Have you eaten gunpowder and it will explode as soon as you touch it? I just care about you, why can't you? You just saved my life, you come to me It’s a blessing, at least my safety is a little more guaranteed.”

Feng Ziying's words made Sister You who was sitting aside couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, Brother Dong, it's not a coincidence that you bumped into me this time. The guy with the knife was really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, you were able to kill that guy." Hold on, otherwise Brother Feng will definitely suffer more."

Sanjie You is an upright and straightforward person, outspoken, and Busia Mara has known Sanjie You since they were in Yongping Mansion. Although they are not too familiar with each other, they have interacted with her several times.

Busia Mara also has a good impression of this woman with Hu ancestry, or has a sense of identity. After all, compared to Feng Ziying and other people in Yongping Mansion, they are not Han, but they are He has a close relationship with the Han people and can never break it off.

"Hmph, but some people still repay kindness with evil and don't know the kindness of others." Busia Mara had a cold expression on her face, turned her head slightly, glanced at Feng Ziying, and then turned to Third Sister You again, "Third Sister, you Your swordsmanship is not bad, where did you learn it from? I never saw that you had this skill before."

"Brother Dong, I have been practicing swordsmanship for ten years." Sanjie You couldn't suppress her pride, "I belong to the Kongtong sect, which is over there in Ganzhou. It's too far away from here, thousands of miles away. Kongtong swordsmanship has been famous since ancient times, but there are only a few people who have truly mastered it. It is really difficult for me to master the banker's skills."

Sanjie You is still good at polite words like this. After one year of marrying into the Feng family, she has learned some things without a teacher. The communication and dialogue between this woman has also made her grow a lot.

"Well, I can see that you have some attainments in swordsmanship." Busia Mara's eyes moved and turned to Feng Ziying, "What's the matter with you? Why would someone target you? This should be someone in the military. A master of archery, a master of shooting from a hundred and fifty paces away, and so powerful that he even penetrated the steel armor. He is deliberately trying to kill you, who have you offended?"

"How do I know?" Feng Ziying was also thinking and said hesitantly: "I have offended a lot of people, but I really can't think of someone who can use an expert in archery to plot an assassination like this. Could it be? Jianzhou Jurchen or Mongolian?"

Bushiya Mara is not sure, "But I think the people I am fighting against must be you Han people, unlike the Mongols or Jurchens. Their swordsmanship and swordsmanship are all from the Central Plains style, which is obviously different from our styles outside the Guan. , and the person who used the crossbow to sneak attack, because I didn't see it, I can't tell, this kind of arrows are actually very common in Liaodong and Jizhen, and they are also relatively common in the army."

Wu Yaoqing and the other two people stayed at the scene to investigate. There was a deceased person, so they needed to find out the basic situation. Even though they could not immediately know the enemy's whereabouts, they had to grasp some details to facilitate the next targeted investigation.

If what the Su family guard said is true, he was targeted in Fengrun, or even earlier from Yongping, then it would be even more complicated.

But when it comes to these things, Wu Yaoqing and the others are more professional. They can naturally peel off the cocoons based on some details and investigate slowly. Feng Ziying will not rush for success. He believes that Wu Yaoqing and the others can give him a satisfactory answer.

"Brother Feng, I'm afraid I have to tell Mr. Wu that you are running around like this. If someone is really watching you outside, they may attack you at any time wherever you go. I'm afraid these few people around you are not enough... "

Sanjie You looked worried, "It's not every time that you can meet Brother Dong's helping hand. What if..."

Feng Ziying did not answer for a while. He felt that Wu Yaoqing had done his best. It was not that the people around him were incompetent, but because he did not expect to be attacked by long-range shooting in this situation. If it were an attack under normal circumstances, a few of them would There should be a response strategy.

"Let's wait until Yao Qing and the others come back from the investigation. The deceased has been reported to the Yutian County Government. There must be an explanation." After a long time, Feng Ziying said slowly.

Wu Yaoqing and two others were squatting on the river bank and carefully inspecting the deceased. They needed to complete the inspection before the Yutian County government officials arrived, grasp the first-hand situation, and prepare for the next step of in-depth investigation.

Such an incident happened today, and Wu Yaoqing was also a little stressed.

  He is responsible for arranging your lord's safety and security, and he thinks that he is quite prepared.

In addition to Third Sister You as your personal bodyguard, the other three people are Xie Guang, a direct disciple of the Tongzhou Golden Knife Sect, whose golden back sword technique has been passed down by Cheng Chuanxi, the master of the sect; and Tong Xiaofeng, a direct disciple of the Yangzhou Qiushui Sword Sect. , both in terms of swordsmanship and loyalty are extremely reliable; there is also Fei Teng, the Yuqilin of Dongchang Mansion in Shandong Province. This is a lone ranger who stayed incognito for several years because of grievances in the world before being recruited by Wu Yaoqing.

These three people are not weak in martial arts, especially Fei Teng's one-handed stick technique, which is extremely famous in Shandong. However, today's performance made even Wu Yaoqing feel a little embarrassed and made the three of them extremely embarrassed.

The biggest problem is that we did not expect that the enemy would attack with crossbows, and we also did not expect that the enemy would choose to set up an ambush here.

In a word, the thinking of these three people has not been transformed yet. They are still thinking about problems in the way of walking in the rivers and lakes, and have not yet transformed into the mentality of a bodyguard.

 “Tell me what’s going on.”

"Mr. Wu, after our preliminary exploration and discussion, we basically have these opinions." The speaker was Xie Guang. He is from Beizhi. This is the territory of Beizhili. Naturally, he is the leader. "From his palm Judging from the thick callus on the tiger's mouth and the condition of his wrists and arms, this person has been practicing swordsmanship for at least twenty years, and he is about thirty-five or sixteen years old. It should be said that he is not the kind of person who has practiced martial arts since childhood. Like a character who has become a monk on the way,..."

“You can reach such a level even though you became a monk halfway?” Wu Yaoqing was puzzled.

"Mr. Wu, if you have better talent and a good teacher, and there are more opportunities to learn and improve in the later period, it is not impossible." Xie Guang said tactfully, "We also have such characters in the Golden Sword Sect. Fourteen I only started at the age of five, but I progressed very quickly, and I was able to make a famous debut at the age of thirty..."

 “Well, continue.” Wu Yaoqing had no intention of dwelling on this.

"This person's clothes probably haven't been changed very often. Judging from the material of his underwear, it's probably not in particularly good condition. His underwear is made of linen. This kind of underwear is very common in Yongpyeong, Suncheon, and Hajian." , but ordinary working people still don’t wear this kind, and it is more common among middle-class people,..."

"I have observed the shoes on their feet. They are short leather boots used for long-term walking. The style of these short riding boots is relatively ordinary, but the quality is not bad, and the workmanship is also very exquisite. They should be very popular among merchants. Moreover, this style should not be sold in ordinary shoe stores. There is a logo on the rim of the tube, Su Ji. It should be from Su Ji Shoe Store. This may be a direction for investigation..."

Suji Shoe Store is a well-known shoe shop in Yongping Prefecture. It also belongs to the model of front store and back shop. Not only does it have shoe stores in all counties of Yongping Prefecture, its workshops also employ many masters with exquisite workmanship. He has a large group of apprentices making shoes, and even people from Shuntian Mansion come here to place orders.

“His weapon is a special thick-backed machete, which is quite special. We feel that if we combine these aspects, as long as he is walking in the north, we should be able to quickly find out his true identity..."

Hearing Xie Guang come up with such a conclusion, Wu Yaoqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Very good, this news is the most comfortable thing I heard today. I'm afraid we are all a little hard to accept what happened today. Although Your Excellency didn't say anything, but I guess it's not easy for all of us. We all need to summarize today's events. I didn't expect that my opponent would attack with a crossbow. This is my responsibility. But these two people who are close to you, the three of you are not. I am not satisfied with the satisfactory level of response, and I believe adults are not satisfied either..."

Wu Yaoqing's words made the three of them feel heavy in their hearts. Wu Yaoqing continued: "This time, the adults may give us a chance, but the opponent may not give us another chance next time. In addition to investigating the opponent this time, we also need to work hard again." Think about the security of the adults, what is needed and how to do it, you can propose it, everything is easy..."
