Chapter 1466 The Enemy of the Traveler for Thousands of Years


    After a few years, the atmosphere in Chang''an City once again became extremely dull, dignified, and somewhat frightening.


    The originally undefended neighborhood has been militarized and managed. Fangjia in the neighborhood led soldiers to search from house to house. In front of the gate of Chang''an County Sheriff''s Mansion, there was also a military marquis with a sullen face, leading hundreds of people to guard the surrounding area, and manpower was arranged everywhere on the turret, holding bows and arrows and strong crossbows. Approach allowed, you can shoot on the spot!


    Fei Qian finally sensed the deep malice towards the traversers in this world, and realized why Great China, no matter which dynasty, except the short-lived ghost of the Qin Dynasty, strictly prohibited the existence of crossbow machines repeatedly, even at the expense of Self-abolition of martial arts, and the development of long-range weapons is not allowed, especially in my Qing Dynasty, it has become more and more perfect, and even my original riding and shooting are also abolished.


    This is still a long-distance assassination. If the distance is close, under the shooting of a strong crossbow, even if Fei Qian is wearing armor, it may not be able to do anything!


    So, who can be blamed?


    Fei Qian looked at his bandaged shoulders and couldn''t help but smile wryly.


    At that time, Fei Qian realized that the situation was different, so he thought about dismounting quickly and borrowing horses and surrounding guards to cover...


    Fei Qian didn’t do anything wrong in this aspect of improvisation, but now...


    The long arrow that was shot was supposed to miss, but I don’t know if it was Pang Tong or Huang Xu, who pulled me, causing me to change my posture while avoiding, and then I was shot in the shoulder...


    Pang Tong also fell off the horse, and Fei Qian still remembered the astonishment and disbelief on Pang Tong''s face at that time. From this point of view, Fei Qian felt that Pang Tong should not have known about the assassination. If Pang Tong can even fake this expression, then at least he is at the actor level.


    In addition, there is another very important factor, because this assassination cannot bring any benefits to Pang Tong, but has a huge negative impact. A person like Pang Tong, unless his brain is really broken, will not make a move. Such things come.


    So, who should it be?


    Seeing that Fei Qian was injured, Huang Xu was furious. Not only did he immediately order a counterattack, killing the assassin above the small pavilion, he even prepared to immediately capture everyone present...


    However, Fei Qian stopped Huang Xu''s behavior, and only asked people to call in the army, and then entered Chang''an under the guard of the army.


    Fei Qian knew very well that even if all the people present were arrested, it might not be possible to find out the real planner, and on the contrary, many innocent people would lose their lives. At this stage, Chang''an will not allow any more chaos. If it really messed up, it might hit the heart of others.


    Is it true that all time travelers will encounter this kind of trouble, or that all time travelers are exempt from this kind of thing, and only you are the most unlucky one?


    Assassination.


    When political interests cannot be reconciled by other means, many people will choose this method to directly eliminate the existence of competitors. Of course, this method is tantamount to letting go of the beasts imprisoned under the rules.


    But what needs to be clarified now is who is leading the assassination behind the scenes.


    "Tomorrow, the gates of all the squares in the city will be removed..." Fei Qian signaled the doctor beside him to go down first, and then said to Pang Tong, "Just set up gates and gates on the main roads outside the city... It''s like catching rabbits. By digging the soil, the rabbit will hide even deeper, and it may even collapse the original hole..."


    Fei Qian moved his shoulder slightly. Although it hurts, it''s okay, and it''s not a serious injury.


    Thanks to Fei Qian''s medical attention to injuries such as gold wounds in the military, from high alcohol debridement and antivirus, to steamed linen wrapping, plus Zhang Yun''s preparation of gold sore medicine to astringe wounds, it is already the largest under the current conditions It is a blessing in misfortune to reduce the possibility of infection.


    "Wei!" Pang Tong quickly understood Fei Qian''s meaning, "I''ll arrange it now! If I can''t lure him out of the cave, I will have no face to see the lord!" After finishing speaking, Pang Tong hurriedly said goodbye and left. This time Zhengxi had an accident on his land, it was as if he had slapped Pang Tong a dozen times in the face left and right. If the mastermind behind it could not be found out, Pang Tong would not only lose his face, but even his guilt would not be mitigated.


    The ban on the city cannot last for too long, and it will easily cause various chain reactions. Ordinary people also need to go out of the city to collect firewood. It is impossible for everyone in Chang''an City to stay at home and wait for Fei Qian to catch the mastermind behind it. When I came out, I went out to the street. And there is another factor, just like what Fei Qian said, if the persecution is too tight, maybe someone will throw out the abandoned child, and once the possibility of following the vine is cut off, it is necessary to find the mastermind behind it. Even more difficult.


    At the same time, maybe the mastermind may not be in the main city of Chang''an, or he may be hiding in the surrounding tombs. If the surrounding tombs are also closed for search, it is basically necessary to use a large army to act.


    "Are there any rumors in the mausoleum in the city?" Fei Qian turned his head and asked Huang Xu.


    Huang Xu said from the side: "There are some rumors that the lord is in danger in the city, but yesterday night the government announced that the lord is safe, and the people are less worried...but...some people say this is..."


    The tingling sensation from the shoulder wound from time to time made Fei Qian''s complexion not very good. Hearing Huang Xu''s words, Fei Qian took a deep breath and said, "People''s hearts are the most uncertain. We insist that there is nothing wrong with it. I''m afraid most of them are still. I don''t believe it... If I act too nervously, people will guess that I am seriously injured and dying, creating chaos... As for some rumors, it is normal, and it will dissipate after XX shows up in two days..."


    "What the lord said is very true." Huang Xu responded, and then gritted his teeth and said, "When the mastermind after the incident is caught, I must crush him to ashes, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart..." For Fei Qian''s assassination, Huang Xu felt guilty. Blaming myself, wishing I could replace it with my own body.


    Fei Qian didn''t continue to say anything, he was just introspecting, and felt that his defense in this aspect was still too careless.


    This is an era of assassins rampant. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, Zhuanzhu assassinated Wang Liao, Yurang assassinated Zhao Xiangzi, Nie Zheng assassinated Xialei, and then Jing Ke assassinated King Qin, assassinated political enemies, and killed the heads of enemy countries. Elimination is a more cost-effective method than a large army confrontation.


    In the three or four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism, a court operation mode that emphasizes etiquette and law, was cultivated, but it does not mean that everyone respects the established rules. What would give preferential treatment to travelers? Under swords, guns and arrows, who else can be immune to harm all the time, except for those teasers who play tricks?


    Although he was injured this time, Fei Qian felt that it was not a loss. After all, the arrogance caused by overconfidence is the biggest enemy of the traverser...


    "The assassins at the scene, did they find any clues?" Fei Qian changed the subject.


    Huang Xu said: "Someone has seen all the bows and arrows used, and there are no marks... However, judging from the material of the arrows, they should be made by the military... In addition, the assassin has nothing but the bow and arrows... A dead man suspected of being raised by others..."


    "It seems that I have quite a few enemies..." Fei Qian said, but he laughed. He didn''t have much fear of escaping from death, but he was a little calm, mixed with a little bit of concern for those who wanted to use this method. The contempt of those who came to take his life...


    This is on the battlefield, do you still feel that you can''t beat me?


    "But I don''t know the value of a certain head?" Fei Qian chuckled, "But it reminded me that we need to strengthen the guards next...not only here, but also in Pingyang...Since it is adopted The lowly means means that this person has no scruples anymore..."


    Huang Xu respectfully complied.


    "Besides..." Fei Qian looked at the gloomy night outside the window, and said slowly, "We need to investigate the officials in Chang''an City to see if anyone is spreading the news that someone will come to Chang''an... Remember, a secret investigation is required, and you must not make too much noise ..."


    Huang Xu''s expression changed, and he said, "My lord''s intention... Pang Shijun..."


    Fei Qian shook his head and said: "It may not be Pang Shiyuan''s side, it may be someone else... Or it was said by accident... After all, we came to Chang''an and did not hide our whereabouts. It’s always good to check, for this matter, you should find someone to do it yourself, choose some old people who have believed in it, don’t make a big fuss, lest you miss the real culprit..."


    Fei Qian had thought about whether other princes and powers would put personnel here. After all, Pingyang was still small before, and the number of crops on one-third of an acre of land could be counted, but now that the land is large, the administration The number of personnel is five or six times that of the original Pingyang. Naturally, there is no way to select as carefully as before, and it is not difficult to get mixed in by someone with a heart.


    I''ve been thinking about sifting for a long time, but it turned out to be either this thing or that thing, and it has been delayed. Now it seems that it is indeed an imminent thing. If I don''t clean it up again, I may not guarantee that the crops in my field will eventually grow. what it looks like...


    There is one more thing that Fei Qian didn''t tell Huang Xu, but just kept it in his heart. Apart from civil affairs, there is a more important one, that is, military power. Today, he was only assassinated outside the city of Chang''an. If he were to be in the army of a certain general who plotted against the law, and then encounter a mutiny, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    Although Fei Qian had a lot of thoughts, after all, his body was bleeding and his spirit was not very good. He fell asleep when he couldn''t hold on. The next day, unexpectedly, Pang Tong came running excitedly and reported to Fei Qian: "My lord ! The mastermind is caught!"


    Fei Qian couldn''t help being refreshed, and immediately asked Pang Tong to report in person.


    Pang Tong said: "When the city ban was released last night, a certain person announced that only one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening today... Hehe, he also ordered the thief Cao Bian and each Fang Fangjia to lie down on the top of the city to investigate the people who came out of the city. , at the East City Gate, three people with unusual whereabouts were caught..."


    Pang Tongyi escaped from his sleeve to Fei Qian for a look, and said: "Under the punishment tree, the thief confessed that there were eight people on this trip, pretending to be merchants, and coming for study tours, and all their accusations were forged..." They are from Jingzhou, in fact they are all from Zuo Fengyi..."


    Fei Qian looked at the past, and sighed slightly in his heart.


    Although there was a household registration system in the Han Dynasty, the method was too primitive after all. It is not a very difficult thing to forge a place, but if you want to fake it, you must be a person who knows how to do it, such as a government employee who originally made a place. So, either people from one''s own side participated, or the government personnel of the enemy side gave instructions behind the scenes...


    Obviously, Pang Tong would not be satisfied with just showing Fei Qian a few false accusations, and continued on the sidelines: "...A certain man got a confession from the thief, and immediately led his troops to Ba Ling, and captured the mastermind hidden there!"


    Speaking of this, Pang Tong''s expression became a little weird, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "...But this mastermind is the son of Zheng Gongye..."


    who?


    Who is Zheng Gongye?


    Fei Qian was also taken aback for a while, before he realized it, he couldn''t help but muttered: "So, this person really has a reason to kill XX... Where is this person now?"


    "Now in the Chang''an prison..." Pang Tong replied.


    Feiqian pondered for a moment, then said: "Take XX there."


    "My lord..." Pang Tong hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay, my lord, please come with me..."


    Chang''an Prison.


    Generally speaking, prisons are gloomy because, in order to prevent prisoners from escaping, they did not consider lighting and ventilation at all when building them, and only pursued how to be safe and strong. Therefore, as time goes by, the moisture in the prison cannot be discharged, and dirt, insects and ants are rampant. The smell is foul.


    Fei Qian didn''t go into the dungeon himself, but sat on the square in front of the dungeon, and asked Huang Xu to follow Pang Tong down to bring out the mastermind.


    The sun shone down from the sky, carrying the scorching heat of summer, but it couldn''t drive away the coldness in Fei Qian''s heart.


    Yes, I am a time traveler, maybe in this world, I am a unique time traveler, but a time traveler must be invincible in the world? The subordinates must be full of loyalty? Pawns never rebel? Emotions are stable and won''t change color?


    hehe…


    A moment later, Huang Xu mentioned, um, indeed, he came out of the dungeon with a half-sized child, and threw it in front of Fei Qian, saying, "This is the man!"


    Feiqian looked up and down at the person in front of him, and could vaguely find some shadow of Zheng Tai from his filthy face. "You are the son of Zheng Gongye?"


    "Evil thief!" Zheng Tai''s son was beaten severely when he was captured, maybe Huang Xu fell hard and couldn''t struggle for a while, just wriggling on the ground, panting, yelling and cursing, "I can''t... Blade to you..."


    "Who sent you here?" Fei Qian ignored Zheng Tai''s son''s insults and said in a steady voice.


    "Hehe...haha..." Zheng Tai''s son, with disheveled hair and blood stains on his face, still stared fiercely at Fei Qian, cursed in his mouth, and did not answer Fei Qian''s question.


    "What a thief!" Huang Xu couldn''t stand it anymore, he kicked Zheng Tai''s son more than a meter away, then walked over with a big stride, and lifted it back like a dead dog, " Nice to answer! Did you hear me!"


    "Cough cough..." Zheng Tai''s son seemed to have injured his stomach, coughing, coughing up a mouthful of blood.


    "I killed your father...so it''s not surprising that you seek revenge from me..."


    Fei Qian looked at the half-sized boy in front of him, and said slowly. Perhaps in later generations, this age should be regarded as a minor, belonging to the category of people who do not have full civil rights. However, here, at this moment, is the Han Dynasty, the end of the Han Dynasty, the world is in turmoil, and the emperor is in danger...


    "...However, your father killed my master..." Fei Qian looked up at the sky, the sky was clear, cloudless, and blue enough to make people ecstatic. "...So I should kill your father..."


    Feiqian lowered his head, looked at Zheng Tai''s son, and said slowly: "...Answer my question, and I will return Zheng Gongye''s head to you... so that you can hold it, bury it in the same cave, and put it in peace..."


    "..." The cursing voice of Zheng Tai''s son stopped suddenly, and after a while he said hoarsely, "...Really?"


    Fei Qian nodded slowly, and then gestured to Huang Xu.


    Huang Xu understood, walked in front of Zheng Tai''s son, and then bent down. Hearing the name Zheng Tai''s son said, he couldn''t help opening his eyes wide. recounted the side...


    "..." The muscles on Fei Qian''s cheeks twitched, and he said after a while, "Come here! Send an order! Go get the head of Zheng Gongye from the Shoushan Academy in Pingyang... Then, take it... Well, boy, what''s your name? "


    "A certain name... Mao Ye... has no words..." Zheng Mao replied.


    "The vast one, the north and the south also..." Fei Qian nodded, stood up, and walked out, "The name is good, but if you can''t tolerate the north and the south, you can''t become a great weapon... Anyway, Nianru has three parts of blood and courage , I will give you three feet of white silk, and leave your whole body..."
