MTL - Martial Arts: Just Finished the Patrol, the Beginning is Ruthless-Chapter 20
As the capital of Ming Dynasty, the capital has always been a symbol of prosperity.
This is under this prosperity, but it hides an unknown undercurrent.
especially tonight
"Clatter."
Accompanied by a series of fluttering sounds of wings, a carrier pigeon with fine feathers and black laces on its feet fell into the hands of the post envoy.
The post envoy untied the tie with familiar movements, took out the envelope, and hurriedly sent it into Shenhou's mansion.
"Wuqing's legs are healed, and he will return to the capital soon?"
"Okay, okay."
The Shenhou Mansion, which was always deserted on weekdays, was filled with hearty laughter at this moment.
Zhuge Shenhou, who has always been reserved and steady, rarely showed his emotions directly on his face.
He said three good words in a row.
In fact, the news on the envelope was indeed worthy of his joy.
As the ruthless adoptive father and master, Zhuge Zhengwo naturally tried his best to heal ruthless legs over the years.
It's a pity that even he can't do anything about it.
Unexpectedly, today I suddenly received such news.
"It seems that Ruthless also has its own creation."
Zhuge Zheng I put down the secret letter, thoughtful.
I don't know what the reason is, although it is a recovery, Wu Qing didn't elaborate on the reason.
Zhuge Zheng and I were very puzzled by this, although she believed that Wuqing had her own thoughts on this.
But such a miraculous event could not have been caused by his indifference.
"Check it out, I want to know what Ruthless is doing and who has been in contact with."
"yes."
There was a response from the dark, and then quickly disappeared into the night.
"Relentless legs healed? Is this what you gave me?"
"A bunch of idiots!"
Contrary to Shenhou's Mansion, the atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Mansion is extremely depressing at the moment.
A group of people stood respectfully in the courtyard, not daring to breathe.
Cai Xiang smashed superstition on the head of one person casually, his face was ugly.
Naturally, it is impossible to hide such a big thing as the recovery of Wuqing's legs.
Especially Cai Xiang, who has been sending people to secretly monitor Wuqing and others.
"Investigate! Dig three feet into the ground and find out. I'd like to see who dared to oppose me."
"Live to see people, die to see corpses."
"yes."
A group of people nodded in unison and took orders one after another.
Cai Xiang was left alone in the empty courtyard.
A few days ago, he had someone drugged Wu Qing in the Zuiyue Building.
But Wuqing was rescued suddenly, and even his subordinates were killed.
Now, the ruthless legs have healed inexplicably.
All these things made Cai Xiang faintly uneasy.
He always felt that an invisible hand had changed the original course of the matter, and if he didn't do something, the ship might capsize in the gutter.
Shenhou's Mansion and Cai Tong, who had power over the government and the public, made moves at the same time, and the entire capital was stirred up.
But the instigator of all this, Xia An, is still ignorant of this and is very carefree.
"Bang bang!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"I, ruthless."
"How did you come?"
Xia An opened the door in surprise, and sure enough, she saw the cold and tall Wuqing appearing outside the door.
"I've come to say goodbye."
"Farewell? Where are you going?"
"The capital."
Ruthlessly explained: "The news that my legs have healed must not be hidden. There are some things that need to be returned to the Shenhou Mansion."
"I see."
Xia An suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.
"and also."
Ruthlessly took out an unused half box of Black Jade Intermittent God Ointment from his arms, and handed it to Xia An, "You must not publicize the fact that my legs healed. Keep it a secret."
"I heard that you are going to be transferred to Hengshan City, so leave as soon as possible."
"Otherwise it may be dangerous."
Seeing Wu Qing urging him like a little daughter-in-law, Xia An couldn't help but smile, "Okay, I'll leave tomorrow morning."
Of course he knew what Ruthless was worried about.
Shenhou Mansion is such a colossus, there are many enemies in the open and in the dark.
I cured the legs of the head of the four famous arresters. If the news spread, many people would want to tear myself into pieces.
"When you get to Hengshan City, take care of yourself." Wuqing took a deep look at Xia An.
"You too, the capital is more dangerous. If you encounter any trouble, you must send a letter to me."
Xia An said seriously.
The case of counterfeiting copper coins involved a lot. Now that Wuqing's legs have healed, there may be some unknown changes.
"Also, be careful of Ji Yaohua."
"..."
Wuqing took a deep look at Xia An, hesitated to speak, but finally nodded.
That night.
After staying with Xia An for a while, he went to the capital ruthlessly.
The next day, Xia An rushed to Hengshan City with Huang Rong.
Chapter Thirty-Eighth First Arrival at Hengshan
Hengshan City is far away from Zhongdu City, nearly two thousand miles away.
Even traveling by water would take five days.
Fortunately, nothing special happened during these five days, and they passed peacefully.
this day.
"It's finally here."
Looking at the pier with people coming and going, Huang Rong, leaning on the bow of the boat, couldn't help jumping for joy.
The life on the boat is three-point and one-line, and with her jumpy personality, after the initial novelty passes, she will naturally feel extremely bored.
Now that she finally arrived at Hengshan City, she felt a sense of freedom as a trapped bird coming out of its cage.
Soon, after asking all the way, Xia An brought Huang Rong to the Six Doors Branch of Hengshan City.
"Stop, who are you?"
When he reached the gate, a servant greeted him.
"In Xia'an, there are iron arresters from six gates, and I'm here to report on my duties. This is a document." Xia An took out the document that he had prepared a long time ago from his arms and handed it over.
"Hold on."
Hearing this, the guard's face became more respectful, and he walked quickly into the door after receiving the documents.
Not long after, a group of men with long knives came out.
"It turns out that it was Xia Tiechu, who was greeted at a distance, and greeted at a distance."
The leader was a burly man with a beard, "I'm in Kechang, and I'm patrolling in Hengshan City. I will take care of you from now on."
"No need to be polite."
Xia An didn't put on airs, and waved her hands casually.
Ke saw that Xia An was so easy-going, and his affection doubled. In his opinion, to be able to become an iron catcher at such a young age must have an amazing background.
Such a person has such a good temper, which is really rare.
"Xia Tieshou, please. Mr. Zhang has gone out to investigate the case. If he won't be back for a while, it's better to go and settle down first."
"Master Zhang?"
"Zhang Zhen, Zhang Yinchao, he is in charge of our door, and besides..."
While leading the way for Xia An, Ke Chang introduced the situation in Hengshan City.
Compared with Zhongdu City, the strength of the six gates in Hengshan City is much weaker, and there is no Jincuo.
But as far as the patrol is concerned, it is led by a man named Zhang Zhenyin.
Further down there are several copper arresters, each with a group of patrol arresters.
Although Xia An is an iron catcher, he is also a head catcher. In terms of position, he is on the same level as the copper catchers, but there are some discrepancies in official positions on the surface.
This is why Ke Chang respects him so much.
Moreover, there are no innate masters in the entire Hengshan City.
Even that silver trap is nothing more than an acquired martial artist.
It has to be said that in terms of this configuration alone, it is actually a bit shabby in Xia An's opinion.
But it's normal to think about it carefully. Innate warriors can be regarded as second-rate masters in the arena, and people like Yu Canghai are only at this level.
Although the six doors are strong, the Ming Dynasty is really vast, and the masters are all in the capital to ensure the stability of the capital. It is impossible for every city to have innate masters.
And, it's not really necessary.
The deterrent power of official posts is mainly their status. In any case, people in the Jianghu dare not openly fight against official posts.
If one is not good, it is to put on the label of treason.
At that time, you will be encircled and suppressed by the army, no matter how powerful you are, you will not be able to escape.
"By the way, there is one more thing I don't know."
"My lord, please tell me."
"When I entered the city, I saw a lot of convoys entering the city. The drivers seemed to be mostly people from the rivers and lakes. Why?"
"My lord has good eyesight."
Ke Chang flattered him silently, "To be honest, there have been some things happening in the rivers and lakes in Hengshan City recently."
"It is said that a big person from the Hengshan School is going to retire from the world, and there will be some kind of conference soon."
"I see."
