Zhang Xiao knew a long time ago that if one day someone worthy in the Bai Mansion needs to say something to him, this person can only be Bai Zongqiu. I remember that Xu Xiaojie once said that day: The three brothers in the Bai Mansion, Boss Bai is a heroic figure, and can work together but not be friends; Bai Laosan claims to be smart, but in fact he is a fool who can do things without losing things. Only Mr. Bai Er has a broad mind and strategy, and is also a scholarly and respectable person.

Although he likes fame, his sincerity is not false.

There is a green bamboo forest on the back mountain of Guangde Academy, and the dean's secluded residence is in the forest.

Zhang Xiao came here at the invitation of Bai Zongqiu.

As soon as they met, Bai Zongqiu asked unexpectedly with a stern face, "I heard that Jin San'er is dead?"

Zhang Xiao nodded: "Yes." The news leaked a little quickly, but nothing is strange. As the saying goes, there are monks, and there are Buddhas. There are so many people in the public security yamen. Jin San'er has been in such a long time, and there are always a few who are willing to convey the message at this time.

"How did you die?" Bai Zongqiu seemed to be careless: "I committed suicide for fear of crime?"

Zhang Xiao could not see Bai Zongqiu's intentions when he observed his words and expressions. He decided to respond to changes in the same way and shook his head: "The cause of death is unknown, but suicide can be ruled out."

"Did you see the body?"

"I came out in a hurry in the morning and only knew that Lord Cao took over the case, and I was involved in the case, so I didn't ask much about it."

"No matter how you die, he will die in the end." Bai Zongqiu said: "Do you know that he is the person my third brother put in the security yamen?"

"I probably don't know." Zhang Xiao gave an ambiguous answer.

Bai Zongqiu did not intend to let him get away with it, so he asked, "What should I not know?"

"It means I try to pretend not to be clear, so it is more in line with my identity."

"I don't care how he died, what I care about is why he died?" Bai Zongqiu said: "Don't explain anything to me. I may not understand things that are too professional. I only know that you are a master of case solving. If you want to do this, there are ways to make him die without anyone noticing."

"Did you determine that Jin San'er died at my hands?"

"Jin San'er is dead, and the clues to the rebel army are broken." Bai Zongqiu said: "At the same time, the third brother is safe, but he is very unhappy, because he broke an arm and had to swallow this mute loss. So, is this your statement to the Bai Mansion?"

"I'm just a sheriff. You're giving my face when you say that." Zhang Xiao replied calmly.

"If you are really just a sheriff, why should my elder brother spend so much effort on you?" Bai Zongqiu said: "There are eighteen corpses in Fengyang, and the leader is called Geshulan. He is a widow who runs a teahouse. Her husband died three years ago and was framed as a murderer and was wrongly imprisoned. Her twelve-year-old daughter was sold to a lure as a prisoner. After the Battle of Chongshan, you ran for her to seek justice. After the case was found, she found out the real murderer and saved their mother and daughter. Is that girl called Lian'er?"

After all, Fengyang City is the territory of the Bai family, and Bai Zongyuan is not a simple person. Since the founding of the Eighteen Journeys, Zhang Xiao never thought that he could hide it from him all the time.

It's just that the timing of this exposure is a bit subtle.

Zhang Xiao forced a smile and nodded, "I did found the Eighteen Links."

Bai Zongqiu suddenly changed his mind and asked, "Have that female rebel army interrogated?"

"It's not too late." Zhang Xiao said: "She has been unconscious after being captured by you yesterday."

Bai Zongqiu nodded and said, "This woman has an extraordinary origin and is very important. Don't let her escape, or she is destroyed like Jin San'er. The matter behind her is very complicated, and it is definitely not something your security office should ask about."

Zhang Xiao's thoughts were heard and he figured out what he meant. Reminder or warning? Or both? The previous questions about Jin Saner's death should not be what he wanted to ask, but Bai Zongyuan asked him to ask on his behalf. Killing Jin Saner is perfect in terms of methods, but from the perspective of emotional and rational relationships, there is no need for too much evidence at all, Bai Zongyuan can conclude that I did this.

He didn't care about Jin San'er, but he cared about Li Feiyan very much. So Bai Zongqiu was reminding himself not to be clever in Li Feiyan. From this point of view, the two most powerful men in the Bai Mansion have almost recognized me as a fancy son-in-law.

It would be fine if you kill Jin San'er and let out a bird's breath. Could it be that Bai Zongchang can really be pulled into the water? This ended with nothing to understand. As for Li Feiyan, he could not let him go for the time being, so he had to find another way to find an opportunity to let him go. The business of the Eighteen corpses is everywhere, and this rebel army cannot be easily offended.

"What should I do if Cao Hong wants to interrogate her?" Zhang Xiao said: "He is my supervisor after all."

"Why do you have to be so humble?" Bai Zongqiu smiled and said, "How could Xu Xiaojie's sworn brother really take Cao Datou in his eyes?"

What does it mean? Is it a test?

His righteous brother Xu Xiaojie is a commander-in-chief sent by the Holy ASEAN to the Northern Line. The Bai family is a family member in the northern region. Although it is not as strong as the Ning clan of the Southern Kingdom, the Xu clan of the Chu clan of the Shixin clan of the Chu clan, and the Xie clan of the Han clan, it is also an important force that the three giants in the cabinet want to win over or suppress.

"This is a bit different from what you said." Zhang Xiao said vaguely.

Bai Zongqiu was silent for a moment and looked at Zhang Xiao deeply: "Ling Xiao is my niece after all."

"Things are not as complicated as you think." Zhang Xiao said: "My acquaintance with Xu Xiaojie starts with the Battle of Chongshan two years ago."

"To be precise, it was two and a half years ago." Bai Zongqiu said solemnly: "If you want to marry Xiao'er, you must make it clear."

"The Battle of Chongshan began with the tsunami disaster of the barbarians in the east. At that time, hundreds of thousands of barbarians were detained. The coalition forces on the northern front decided to leave Shanyang and advance into the Chongshan front to deploy defense. The security yamen was ordered to cooperate and be responsible for preventing and pursuing the other scouts."

"Xu Xiaojie was unwilling to burn the northern territory of the country. Before the plan of the Northern Line Alliance to enter Chongshan to fight, he notified my eldest brother and I. "Bai Zongqiu said: "Cao Datou's public security yamen organized 500 scouts to cooperate with the army to fight. The battle was fierce, and the scouts suffered a lot, but they didn't want you to be there."

"Ahan and I are both gone." Zhang Xiao said: "Jin Saner asked Ahan to go by name. Although he was only twelve years old at that time, his figure was taller than all adults."

Bai Zongqiu sighed and said, "The third brother did this inappropriately."

"It's okay, I've been used to it for a long time." Zhang Xiao said: "At that time, Jin San'er was sure of me and I couldn't let go of Ah Han. I deliberately arranged him to the front line as the scout of the patrol team."

"This guy has such a stingy heart!" Bai Zongqiu's face turned cold and he snorted softly.

The scouts were divided into three groups, namely the patrol team, the sniper team and the ventilation team. The most dangerous one was the patrol team responsible for in-depth inspection and reconnaissance behind enemy lines. Usually, old soldiers with rich experience and already descendants of children were chosen to serve as the ones. Jin Saner's arrangement was obviously inauthentic.

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "I took the initiative to apply to join and took Ahan deep into the area thousands of miles east of Chongshan."

"There are we see the ancient lien city washed away by the tsunami. The altars and flags of the great barbarian demon kings are everywhere. The barbarians suffer heavy losses and starve to eat thousands of miles away. The barbarian army on the Chongshan Front is actually the rioters who the Barbarian King intends to rush over, and they are carrying a few real barbarian elites to be responsible for organizing it. However, the real barbarian main force is trying to cross the Heilong Mountain to cover the rear of the Chongshan defenders."

"Wouldn't you have to pass through the defense zone of Sang Kingdom?" Bai Zongqiu asked in surprise.

"Yes, only this is even more unexpected." Zhang Xiao said: "At that time, the defenders of Sang Kingdom and Heilong City were not alarmed for some reason. When I led Ahan to realize that the main force of the barbarian army was about to form an encirclement of the Northern Front coalition, the opponent had already passed the Heilong Gorge and entered the Chongshan Realm."

"Did you bring the news back in time?"

"When we discovered the enemy, the scouts of the other side also discovered us. I took Ahan to fight a bloody road to Chongshan City to report the news. The barbarians sent flying eagles to inform the news and ordered the elite scouts on Chongshan front to stop us from reporting the news."

Zhang Xiao said: "I took Ahan to break through sixteen traps in a row and finally entered Chongshan City. At that time, Xu Xiaojie happened to find out the details of the enemy's troops on Chongshan defense line and was preparing to lead a large army to fight to wipe out the mobs."

"If this is true, our Northern Line Alliance will definitely be trapped by the King of Barbarians. If we fight a field battle with the real main force of the barbarian army without any preparation, we may be wiped out the entire army on the Northern Line." Bai Zongqiu said in a state of emotion: "It turns out that my nephew made such great contributions in the Battle of Chongshan."

Zhang Xiao said: "When Ahan and I met General Xu, we reported to him the news that the Barbarian King personally led the elite army. Although he was praised at that time, Xu Xiaojie would not make him leave a fuss. However, the situation of the war became more and more unfavorable. The barbarian army failed to lure the enemy into the field and successfully fought in a deep battle, but soon the troops came to the city."

Bai Zongqiu said: "I heard that the battle was particularly fierce. Chongshan City was just the size of Qianshao Town. The city defense was fragile and the food reserves were very limited. Xu Xiaojie led the 100,000 Northern Line Alliance to fight with the other side for three months..."

"In fact, there are only 20,000 defenders, and the others are temporarily recruited civilians and mortals in the border city prison camp. The person who led the army to defend the city was not Brother Xu." A sad look flashed in Zhang Xiao's eyes and said, "Brother Xu led 80,000 elite troops on the same day as the opponent's troops were at the city, and attacked in reverse and rushed around Chongshan to the Barbarian King City."

"Ah!" Bai Zongqiu was shocked and subconsciously questioned: "How can a mere 20,000 people defend it?"

"It is indeed very hard to defend, but it is not impossible to defend." Zhang Xiao said: "At that time, Brother Xu was sick in the mansion on the grounds of practicing fire. I was responsible for sending orders to arrange the city defense matters, build bed crossbows, and refining tinder oil. I made various preparations. First, use the method of flying star fire rain taught by Mr. Sanqian to burn the opponent's attacking baggage and food, and then use the fire rat formation to break the opponent's bull formation. Finally, I was lucky to be unfair and wait for news of Brother Xu's victory at the last moment."

"I remember the Tang newspaper at that time said that the barbarian army was unable to sustain its food shortage. On the way to withdraw, Xu Xiaojie personally led 67,000 troops to ambush in Chongshan, and defeated the unexpected barbarian army and fled."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Bar King City was attacked by Brother Xu personally. Brother Xu deliberately did not attack. He just tried his best to put pressure on the barbarian princes and ministers in the city who thought the city was broken was right in front of him, and sent a letter to Chongshan for help. After receiving the letter from Feiying, the Barbarian King was indeed trapped and was ambushed by Brother Xu on the way back."

"This plan is very wonderful, but it is easy to say and difficult to do. If the 20,000 defenders cannot defend Chongshan City and the Barbarian King will not be trapped in a situation where he is attacked from both sides, he will not be able to achieve subsequent victory." Bai Zongqiu already understood the key point and said, "Since Xu Xiaojie has led his army deep into the enemy's back, you are the one in the city who issued the order on his behalf?" After a pause, he suddenly said to himself: "Mr. Sanqian is a real god!"

In his opinion, Zhang Xiao was just a sixteen-year-old boy back then. Even though he was smart and courageous, his knowledge and ability were limited after all. Therefore, being able to complete this arrangement and having such strong execution ability must be inseparable from Mr. Sanqian's guidance.

"It was indeed Mr. Sanqian who used Kongming lantern to set up the Flying Star Fire Rain Array. Mr. Sanqian taught me to arrange it. The fire rat array was temporarily thought of during the process of catching mice in the city to replenish food and grass. Those equipment guarding the city were also taught by Mr. Sanqian." Zhang Xiao completely let himself go, and he was determined to put gold on Mr. Sanqian's face, not thinking about how embarrassing it would be to face Bai Zongqiu if his identity was exposed one day.

This is reasonable.

Bai Zongqiu was satisfied with Zhang Xiao's frankness, and was slightly proud of his understanding of Mr. Sanqian. He nodded and said, "So that's it. He first took the risk of bringing back the news and saved the lives of a hundred thousand troops. Then he also offered a brilliant plan to help Xu Xiaojie defeat the barbarian king army and won the victory of the Battle of Chongshan at the minimum price. No wonder Xu Xiaojie would have made you sworn brother regardless of his identity. He was so eager to cherish talent."

Zhang Xiao said: "Brother Xu is indeed interested in recruiting me into the Northern Front coalition, and even intends to ask for me to make me a special contribution, and he urges me to be an official."

"You refused?"

Bai Zongqiu asked clearly. In fact, he was very puzzled. In this era of strange people, it was almost impossible for a mortal who could not awaken to cross the barriers. After making great contributions, Zhang Xiao chose to hide his merits and fame and rejected this hard-won opportunity. This move was really incredible.

"I'm very good at Fengyang Public Security Office." Zhang Xiao said: "Only to take care of my adoptive mother and younger brother, and secondly to continue to take charge of the eighteen crafts. Only in this way can I have sufficient conditions to complete the experiments of Mr. Sanqian on me."

"Oh?" Bai Zongqiu was immediately excited when he heard the name of "Biexu Sanqian" and asked, "What kind of experiment is it? If you don't speak here, can you tell me?" He was very polite in his words, as if he had regarded Zhang Xiao as a person who was qualified to be comparable to him.

Zhang Xiao looked at him silently until Mr. Bai Er realized his incompetence and smiled embarrassedly at him, then he spoke: "Mr. I have taught me a method of practice. According to his method, it can allow ordinary people to have combat power comparable to low-level aliens."

This news is amazing!

"This..." Bai Zongqiu was speechless, and after a while he let out a long breath, he slowly said, "How is this possible?" Then he asked again, "How can it be?"

"Practicing this method requires abundant material conditions, and time and perseverance are required to work hard. If the conditions and time are sufficient, the income from ten years can be roughly comparable to that of the fourth-level alien." Zhang Xiao still retained it.

Judging from the process of defeating Cao Mengxiong, Zhang Xiao himself evaluated that if he could achieve both the realms of indestructible and divine transformation at the same time, he should be able to easily defeat the fifth-level alien, and even face a more powerful existence, he might not be able to fight.

"That's also very impressive." Bai Zongqiu pondered for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "If the soldiers in the army all have the combat power of a second-level alien, the strength of our Donglu human race will definitely double. Why worry about the monsters such as the demons of the demons, Man Haiyu, come to do something?"

"Mr. Sanqian also has this intention. He said that this technique was passed down from the ancient fragments and was not perfect enough. Moreover, the core of the cultivation theme is to strengthen qi and blood, increase body strength and strength, which is no different from the demon barbarians, so he is worried about any hidden dangers." Zhang Xiao said: "So this is secret and not disclosed, and it will be made public only after the experiment is completely successful and confident."

"Oh, Mr. Sanqian has such a good intention." Bai Zongqiu changed his color when he heard this. He was moved by Mr. Sanqian's trust. He then regretted it and said, "Bai is reckless. He shouldn't have tried it out so confidentially, and he shouldn't have listened to the old lady and his elder brother. He arranged for you to attend this literary meeting."

"Don't be upset, there is still room for remedy for this matter." Zhang Xiao said: "I just hope to make sure that the second uncle can keep his mouth shut before the experiment is successful."

"It would be great." Bai Zongqiu agreed without any worries, and then asked again: "How do you plan to make up for it?"

"You only need to admit that you have sealed Cao Mengxiong's extraordinary power in the literary meeting." Zhang Xiao said: "When I fight with him, whenever he wants to use the extraordinary power, he will throw him, making it unable to concentrate his will. I am sure that this kid himself can't figure out why he can only use brute force instead of using the extraordinary power."

"This is easy." Bai Zongqiu agreed and said, "It's best. If I ruined Mr. Sanqian's major affairs because I was confused for a while, I would be able to redeem it."

"As long as the second uncle comes forward to explain it clearly, this matter will not have much impact." Zhang Xiao said: "Before the experiment was successful, I had no plans to leave the North. With Brother Xu's care, even some troubles would be enough to deal with."

"I will be included in the future." Bai Zongqiu said seriously. Suddenly his expression stuttered and asked, "How much does Xu Xiaojie know about this?"

"He only knew that I was a student of Mr. Sanqian. He didn't know anything except for his intention to join Mr. Sanqian through me." Zhang Xiao didn't have to worry about the debt. In order to make reasonable, he praised the big vest that he originally intended to make small money. At this point, he was too lazy to think about the consequences of the explosion.

"Nothing so good." Bai Zongqiu was obviously relieved and complained: "Xu Xiaojie, the Chu barbarian, is vulgar and savage. He only knows how to fight and kill. His limbs are well developed and even his mind is full of muscles. It's okay to point at him to lead troops to fight, but he can't do anything big..."
