In order to prevent the people who died in this attack from mutating into Guijia, the armored guards could only carry out all the corpses one by one, pile them directly on the Qinghe hunting ground, and set them on fire. This was the most effective way to deal with them at the moment.
While Sang Luo was inspecting the palace, Tang Chen was responsible for supervising the burning of corpses, but he soon discovered that many headless corpses were different because those corpses were not wearing the leather armor of the Shendu Army, but were wearing civilian clothes.
.
Tang Chen asked the armored guards who were carrying the corpses to place the corpses in civilian clothes next to them, and found that there were five of them in total. At this time, Tang Chen did not know that these were the strange animals Chi Erda bought from Lin Sotu.
Corpse, it should be said that he didn't even know what a corpse was.
Tang Chen examined the bodies of the alien corpses. After cutting the bodies open with a knife, he found that there were no internal organs in the bodies of the alien corpses. Instead, there were some things wrapped in talisman paper. However, when those things were taken out,
Then it left to burn, and the body of the corpse also rotted quickly, turning into a pool of black corpse water.
When Tang Chen saw this, he knew that this was definitely not Guijia, because he had dissected Guijia's body long ago. Judging from the things wrapped in talisman paper found in the body cavity, this thing was related to the heretic.
Sang Luo had long discovered that it was a strange corpse, but he couldn't tell. The strange corpse was a product of the Qian Zhi sect. The appearance of the strange corpse meant that even if Qian Zhi was not directly involved, it violated the rules of the different sect and sold the strange corpse.
.
If Sang Luo revealed this, the emperor would directly think that the different Taoists were involved in the attack on Rouyuan Palace and colluded with the Tuoersi tribe. Although Ji Chengying's character would not be stupid enough to order to deal with the different Taoists to sew thousands of corpses, but
He will also realize that the different sect is a force that cannot be underestimated, which will make Sang Luo think of ways to recruit talents from the different sect.
Hu Shen and Sang Luo are all people of the same sect, but most of them are just to serve as officials. Therefore, they are not seeking refuge in the imperial court, but originally they want to serve in the imperial court or in the future.
Serve someone who can become the master of the world.
Therefore, the earth phase is also equivalent to a bridge between the court and the heretics. However, if the earth phase helps the court recruit heretics, they will be regarded as enemies, not to mention the many masters of the twelve sects, if the heretics will
Sang Luo can be easily dealt with by directly sending out the City God who specializes in adjudicating and cleaning up.
Sang Luo's skills are not enough even for those from other walks of life.
Therefore, Sang Luo, who was already deep in the quagmire, would not be stupid enough to continue drilling under the quagmire.
Sang Luo also thought about his excuse. If Tang Chen was suspicious and asked, he could only say that it should be created by the spiritual arts of the Torsi Department. Strictly speaking, spiritual arts also belong to the category of strange arts. Even if the emperor
To believe that Yi Dao was indeed involved, Sang Luo also had to convince the emperor that someone was deliberately muddying the waters in an attempt to make the whole thing more complicated.
However, one thing is for sure, if there is an expert within the Torsi Department who is advising him, and this person must be related to the alien sect, otherwise, Childa would not even buy the alien corpse, not even buy it.
I don’t know where Sewing Thousand Corpses is.
——
In the Imperial City, in the Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Ji Chengying and Xiwang Ji Hanguang were listening to the report from Qingmu, the leader of the Xuan Department.
Originally, Aoki arranged for Sashiko to take turns to keep an eye on Rouyuan Palace. Before the attack on Rouyuan Palace, Sashiko naturally smelled the smell of blood in the wind and returned to the imperial city immediately to inform Aoki. At the same time,
, the alarm bells are ringing.
However, the Xuanbu is a secret agency directly under the emperor. Without the emperor's permission, no one can act without permission. Even if they know that Su Mu is difficult to deal with alone, they can only choose to stand by and watch.
Aoki originally thought that the emperor would be angry, but to his surprise, Ji Chengying was extremely calm. He looked at the chessboard in front of him and thought about how to solve the endgame, as if what happened in Rouyuan Palace had nothing to do with him.
Aoki knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, although reinforcements from the Iron Guards and Shendu Army have arrived, the princess has been kidnapped. I believe that the dark chess that was placed inside is also dead. Therefore, I still have the specific situation. Not found out.”
Ji Chengying said something that surprised Qingmu: "This is why I have to let Su Mu Shisan go to Rouyuan Palace."
Qingmu was surprised. Could it be that the emperor had already guessed that the Torsi Division was coming to kidnap Princess Baomeng?
Ji Hanguang looked at Qingmu and said: "Send two or three capable people to immediately find a way to catch up with Su Mu and the Prince Consort, and secretly guarantee their safety and not to show up unless necessary."
Ji Chengying said, "You can show up. The existence of Xuanbu cannot be hidden from the prince-in-law. The prince-in-law has really been acting all this time."
Because Aoki and others could not enter Rouyuan Palace, the Xuanbu did not notice that Tang Xiaohao had no abnormality and even tore up the monster with his own hands.
For Ji Chengying, he was only interested in Tang Chen training this son, probably to deal with the Nanrong family. From this perspective, it was beneficial to the royal family.
After Aoki was ordered to leave quickly, Ji Hanguang turned to look at the chessboard and found that Ji Chengying had clearly cracked the endgame, but then put the chess pieces back. It seemed that he, the emperor's brother, just wanted to maintain the endgame.
Ji Hanguang asked: "Your Majesty, why are you so sure that the Torsi Division will come to kidnap Baomeng?"
Ji Chengying raised his eyes and looked at Ji Hanguang: "The existence of Baomeng is a problem. The main peace faction will save and the main war faction will kill. No matter which faction they are, they will send people to Huayuan for Baomeng. This is absolute and you don't need me. Speculation.”
Ji Hanguang immediately asked: "Since you know, why don't you issue an order to let the princess and the consort live in the imperial city?"
Ji Chengying smiled: "It's like playing chess. When I make a move, the opponent will make the next move. Even if I calculate the opponent's layout, the opponent will try to hide it. Without despising the enemy, I must consider To all possibilities, that is to say, it is necessary to make sacrifices in order to prompt the enemy to reveal his ultimate goal."
Ji Hanguang didn't quite understand: "What does the emperor mean?"
Ji Chengying placed the chess pieces and sat up straight: "Did you hear what Qingmu just said? The so-called troops brought by the people from the Torsi tribe were Guijia, and these Guijia were originally soldiers from the Shendu Military Flag Camp, and there was one among them. The most unique thing is that the Shendu Army Flag Camp is not something people can enter easily. Even if there is a fight, beacon fires will definitely be lit and the surrounding flag camps and patrols will be notified. But there is no such thing. This means that it is someone from within the Shendu Army who did it. , to put it more directly, it’s the Nanrong family.”
After Ji Chengying finished speaking, he sighed slightly: "From this matter, we know that both the Guijia under the Twelve Squares and the one at Sihai Inn are related to the Nanrong family. At the same time, we can also know that Tang Chen and Sang Luo knew it at the time, but they did not tell me the truth."
Ji Hanguang immediately said: "This is the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Ji Chengying smiled and shook his head: "No, no, if they say it, it will make things difficult for me, because we can't do anything to the Nanrong family now. The most important thing is that these things were not done under the instruction of Nanrong Qufeng
, it should be a retainer of the Nanrong family, or a son of Nanrong Qufeng. According to Nanrong Qufeng's character, he will not test and will only attack directly. Therefore, the reason why the following people did this is
In order to force Nanrong Qufeng to be suspected by us, we had to raise troops."
Ji Hanguang understood: "The lower ones conquer the higher ones? Force them to submit. If we do anything to the Nanrong family, Nanrong Qufeng will have to launch a mutiny."
"Yes, this person's purpose is to provoke a fight between us and Nanrong Qufeng, and reap the benefits for himself," Ji Chengying picked up the tea cup, "If we go to check on Nanrong's family, we will be trapped.
Of course, the reason why he can do this is entirely because of two things. First, this person really thinks that I am a waste. Second, he is too arrogant, and he is so arrogant that he does not take my great counselor Sang Luo into consideration."
Ji Hanguang recalled: "Nanrong Qufeng has three children, the eldest daughter Nanrong Wenjun, the second son Nanrong Zhongwei, and the youngest son Nanrong Yuankai. According to the rules of the Nanrong family, Nanrong Zhongwei is the eldest son, and
, he is also a talented person from Jixian Academy, Hu Shen was full of praise for him, and said that this child is a talented person, but I don’t know why Nanrong Qufeng favors his younger son Nanrong Yuankai more."
Ji Chengying looked at Ji Hanguang and said: "Nan Rong Yuankai is a boring gourd. Everyone knows this. He only started talking when he was five years old. Moreover, he has lived in the shadow of his brother Nan Rong Zhongwei since he was a child. In addition to traveling around mountains and rivers, Ji Chengying looked at Ji Hanguang.
, I can’t get involved in the affairs of the Nanrong family. According to Anqi’s feedback, this kid is very well-behaved and has no ambitions. I even think that after my brother takes over as the leader in the future, it will be enough to give him a bite to eat and drink.”
Ji Hanguang thought for a moment and said, "So it was Nan Rongzhong who did this?"
"Who knows?" Ji Chengying didn't dare to be so sure, "Tang Xiaohao's incident has reminded me that you can't judge people by their appearance. Therefore, whether Nan Rong Zhongwei or Nan Rong Yuankai, they may be the culprits of this incident.
, However, we can only tolerate it. If he makes a move, but if I don’t take it, it means that he has failed.”
Ji Hanguang nodded: "Stay unchanged to cope with all changes."
Ji Chengying said: "A good mercenary will mislead others but not be misled by others. The key to defeating the enemy is not to use force alone."

After Tang Xiaohao, Xiao Lingdang and Su Mu left the Qinghe hunting ground on horseback, they followed the horseshoe marks and shoe prints on the ground to pursue Chi Erda and Baomeng.
Judging from the different shoe prints, when Chi Erda left Rouyuan Palace with Baomeng, there were only five monsters following him, that is, the five alien corpses. Those monsters he left behind were
In order to delay time, the second is to set off with too many monsters and the goal is too big.
The reason why five alien corpses are left behind is just for the sake of follow-up plans.
Xiao Lingdang, who was riding on the horse, wondered: "Why did he only take away five Guijia?"
Tang Xiaohao said: "Those five are probably not Guijia, but something else. Those Guijia are mutated soldiers of the Shendu Army. They are all wearing military boots, and the ones that left footprints are either straw sandals or cloth shoes."
Su Mu, who was standing on the side, said: "When I was fighting with the group of monsters in front of the palace gate, I also found that five of them were different. They were wearing civilian clothes. Although their fighting power was good, their limbs were relatively stiff, and they felt a bit like folk monsters.
That kind of zombie."
Zombies? Heretic? Plus the Guijia created by the Nanrong family? Tang Xiaohao knew that things were getting more and more complicated.
