The narrow alley, which is two people wide, looks crowded even when walking alone.
Even if this person is very weak.
A pair of cloth shoes, a single coat, and a small hat to hide her long hair.
Single eyelids, slender eyebrows, thin lips and a cold face.
This woman's steps were light and slow. She was observing the environment at all times, as if she was seriously searching for something. However, there was an awe-inspiring chill that was hidden but not revealed.
The body is thin but sharp, like a very aggressive mantis.
You know she will not back down, but will move forward with determination.
This lonely walk didn't last long, because at the end of the narrow alley, a person came in.
The distant light outside the alley is blocked by human shadows, and the setting sun in the distance sinks behind the high wall.
The man's figure hung down, a bit thick, like mist like night.
The sound just spreads with the night gloom.
"Miss Dugu! You have been staying in Qingyang Town for a long time without seeing any movement. Today you suddenly came to Linzi. Why did you come? But what is the order from the master in Taixu Pavilion?"
The woman wearing single clothes and cloth shoes raised her eyes and clearly saw the official uniform of the person opposite and the green badge around her waist.
The Capital Inspection Office, the fourth-grade Qingpai head catcher, a master of Wailou Realm.
Compared to the tall figure of the other party, she looked really thin. But with just one look in her eyes, she showed a sharp look: "When did a small role like me enter the city and have to be monitored by the City Inspection Office? Is it an inspection?
Is the prosecutor too relaxed, or am I being targeted too much?"
She raised her head slightly, as if she was using her sheath to show off her skills: "Who in the world knows what kind of person my master is now? Is there anything I can be needed for? To say the least, if this trip really has my master's intention, what's the point?
Can you cross-examine?"
Having been with Zhu Zhu in Qingyang Town for many years, she is no longer what she used to be.
After Jiang Wang attained the pinnacle of enlightenment, she, Jiang Wang's only "devotee", became Jiang Wang in the form of Xiao Zhoutian. A person who was truly imprinted with the Red Heart Seal could display terrifying power at any time!
Fourth-grade Qing brand head catchers generally have the cultivation level of Wailou realm.
But she didn't care much about it anymore.
Once upon a time, an old person in the Youmai Realm was her lingering nightmare.
"Please forgive me." The young Qingpai head catcher lowered his head to express awe, awe of the old man in Dugu's mouth, but he did not give way: "That man's reputation is too high, his status is too important, and his influence is too great.
The world is in turmoil. If something happens in Linzi, we must make preparations early... The Capital Inspection Office has the responsibility of domestic supervision, and this is just a routine matter. It is definitely not directed at you, let alone that lord."
"You want to know why I'm here?" Dugu Xiao asked.
"If you can, you'd better say something." said the young Qingpai head catcher.
"otherwise?"
"Otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to follow you."
"Do I have a criminal record?"
"Not as far as I know."
"This is how suspects are treated."
"You neither belong to Qi nor have power, so it is difficult to say that you are stable. We are guarding Kyoto and it is our duty to do so. Please forgive me."
These words were polite and courteous. He was really not a simple person.
"What's your name?" Duguxiao looked at him.
The young Qingpai catcher had sharp eyebrows. He just raised his hands when he heard the voice: "My lord, Yan Jing, is eighteen years old this year and is from Linhai County. If you have any dissatisfaction with me in the performance of my official duties, you are always welcome to go to the inspection office."
Give evidence."
The 18-year-old Sipin Qingpai can be said to be young and promising!
As time goes by, he will become a dazzling figure in the political arena of Qi State.
Linhai County... Lu Zongxiao, the former city lord of Tianfu City, is now the governor of Linhai County. In the past, Tianfu City became increasingly prosperous due to the full spread of the Taixu Illusion Realm.
After all, the Secret Realm of Tianfu comes and goes every twelve years, but people come in and out of the Taixu Illusionary Realm all the time every day.
Three days ago, Zheng Shangming had officially sat on the throne of the Capital Inspection Office - of course it was due to Zheng Shangming's outstanding performance, but it was also probably due to his father Zheng Shi's failure to seize the Zhanyu Army as he wished.
The emperor still had great trust in Zheng Shi. After all, he was the person who had served as the captain of Bei Ya for the longest time, and he was also the person the emperor used most easily. It could be said that he "won the emperor's heart deeply".
As for Yang Weitong, the previous captain of Beiya, he went to the Nanxia Governor's Mansion and will be fully responsible for the security of the old Xia land. It is considered a level position, with a slightly lower status, but he has more independent power and cultivation level.
There are no restrictions on the matter, and this matter is indispensable without the operation of his mentor Yi Xingchen.
These people are more or less related to the master, or in other words, they are vaguely related to the current Bowang Hou.
Years of experience in government affairs have given Dugu Xiao a keen sense of politics. The master is impatient with these trivial matters, so she is willing to worry about them.
I have been staying in Qingyang Town for these years, focusing on world affairs, and I have clearly seen how the old man's best friend, the fat man with a kind smile, gradually grew into a towering tree in this huge empire, and how he cast a heavy shadow.
.
The true hereditary princes of Da Qi are extremely powerful!
But this also means that his old man's enemy must also be a giant.
Therefore, Dugu Xiao was very cautious and never allowed herself to become a burden - as a personal maid who had followed the master for many years, she might be implicated in the master, and thus the Prince of Bowang.
"Yan Baotou! In the past, when the master was here, he took responsibility for the world and severely punished lawbreakers. You hang a green card on your waist and uphold the public spirit. What dissatisfaction can I have?" Dugu Xiao raised his hand and said: "I am coming to Zi this time.
Yulifeng, it has nothing to do with my master, but with the order of Mr. Zhu Sui - I can only say this much. If the Capital Inspection Office has any questions, you can send a letter to the Zhengsheng Hall of Qingyang Town."
Daqi Night Wandering God...Zhu Sui.
The imperial night watchman who has continued since the time of Emperor Wu to the present day. Although he has retired now, his achievements cannot be erased so quickly.
Upon hearing this name, Yan Jing had nothing to say.
He cupped his hands, said "Excuse me," and then silently retreated.
In the end, only Duguxiao was left in the narrow alley.
This is Linzi, this is Yulifeng.
The place where the famous scholar Xu Fang lived during his most depressed period.
Of course, the so-called "home" is a shack, a pile of withered grass, and an unkempt appearance.
Xu Fang, who had a heartfelt confession outside Qingshi Palace, has been buried in Ganma Mountain for some years.
The grass on the graves is not very tall, but every year during the Qingming Festival, someone always goes to pay homage and sweep it——
Many soldiers who fought with the master are also buried there.
Nowadays, there are no shacks in Yulifeng.
You could see homeless people sleeping on the ground and beggars chasing passers-by everywhere. They were almost relics of the old times.
Since Desheng Trading Company settled here a few years ago, built its headquarters on Qian Street and recruited a large number of workers, Yulifeng is no longer the poorest place in Linzi.
There are reasons for poverty, and there are reasons for chaos. The cost of running a headquarters in Yulifeng is much higher than that in other places. Many people don't understand why such a smart Bowang Hou would make such a choice with half the effort.
But Dugu Xiao understood that it was the master's decision.
The master won't say it, but just like when he saved her, he is not stingy with what he can do and doesn't care about anything in return.
The master is not the kind of person who gives out food and porridge, he is someone who is willing to give people opportunities.
Dugu was quiet for a while, borrowing a ray of dusk light to form a letter between his fingers.
There were only two contents written in the letter——
"Sir Zhusui has some past questions in his heart, and some of the clues are in Yulifeng. He ordered me to come here to find answers to history."
"A fourth-grade green brand named Yan Jing from the Capital Inspection Office stopped me in Yulifeng. He seemed to be very concerned about my master's affairs."
The master has unreserved trust in Bowang Hou.
So she had no reservations.
She knew very well that Bowang Hou's wisdom was far superior to hers, so she only told the facts without analysis.
Then she continued walking down the narrow alley.
The questions about Zhu Sui's past are naturally related to the past events of Emperor Wu's dynasty.
More specifically, it involves a female nun in Kurongyuan during the Emperor Wu period, and a book called "Ghost Pima" in a longer period of time.
Throughout the life of Emperor Wu of Qi, among the many confidants, there was one whose traces could never be erased. She was revered as the "Tianfei" and was very aloof in Emperor Wu's harem. This woman was very mysterious and was not recorded in the official history, but it was mentioned in some official records.
There are some sketches in the unofficial history.
Even Zhu Sui, a close confidant of Emperor Wu, only knew a little bit about her, but didn't know much about her - he only knew that she was stunningly beautiful and had a high level of cultivation. She was originally a Zen nun and was very influential in Kurongyuan.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Qi, Kurongyuan made great contributions to the country.
When Zhu Sui was appointed as the leader of the watchmen, he had enough authority and opportunities, but he did not pursue the doubts in his heart.
Now that I am getting old and aging, I think of these things again.
Probably everyone can't help but think about it in their lifetime.
Or as Bowang Hou said - when people are weak, they are inevitably fragile.
As for the question in Zhu Sui's mind, Zhu Sui didn't say it clearly, and Dugu Xiao could only guess. What she was ordered to come to Yulifeng to find was just clues about "Tianfei" and "Ghost Pima".
Over the years, the architectural style of this place and the people who live here are very different.
It is really not easy to find some clues from the past.
Zhu Sui is certain that this place exists.
It is said that the Zihe River once flowed through here, and most of the people living here were fishermen - that may have been a long time ago, and may be traced back to the Yang Kingdom period. Because since the founding of Qi State, the Zihe River has been prohibited from
Fishing order.
The occupation of "fisherman" only exists in large numbers in counties near the sea.
If we trace back the history of the Yang Kingdom, Dugu Xiao seems to see a vague line - Wu Zhaixue, who wrote "Ghost Pima", participated in the Longhua Sutra Banquet at the Taiyang Palace in 1321 of the Dao calendar.
disappeared when.
The book "Ghost Pima" also disappeared, becoming a work in history with only a name and no content.
Master Zhusui said that after finishing this matter, she can leave.
I wonder if these skills I have learned over the years can still be of help to you?
Duguxiao raised his eyes and looked at the sunset, then continued walking forward.
The master likes to watch the sunset, and she also thinks the sunset is very beautiful.
…
…
A sunset hangs in the sky.
The haloed light was like a door being gently pushed open.
Jiang Wang, wearing a green shirt and hanging a sword, walked out of the sunset.
However, Zhong Liyan was startled as he was flying quickly, so he picked up Nanyue and chopped it down.
Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment when he saw the two people in front of him: "Why are you together?"
This is the battlefield of Yu Yuan. He practiced Luo Tiandao and fell at an astonishing speed. He deliberately followed the connection between Taixu Magatama to find Li Yi.
But why is Zhong Liyan standing next to Li Yi?
These two people...are not even close to each other.
Zhong Liyan's powerful and heavy sword was lightly pushed away, and he made a sword dance on the spot and carried it behind his back.
He raised his eyebrows again: "Why shouldn't we be together? What do you mean? Am I not worthy of standing next to him? Am I not worthy of standing next to Douzhao or you?"
The more he asked, the more angry he became.
What the hell!
There was a meeting in Taixu Pavilion to discuss such a big matter, but I didn't know how to ask Uncle Zhongli for his opinion.
Have you forgotten who is the orthodox member of Taixu Pavilion?
Have you forgotten who helped him become enlightened?
Is Zhenjun amazing?
The top is just a scenery that Uncle Zhongli must see!
"That's not what I meant." Jiang Wang was a little overwhelmed. This guy's arrogance is amazing, and he can take advantage of three points without reason. Now he will find a problem. His words are much sharper than his sword skills: "I'm just curious, curious. Because both of you are
He is a hero in the world, and noble people are busy with things, so it is usually not easy to meet them."
Zhong Liyan then hummed from his nostrils, feeling somewhat satisfied.
It was Li Yi who said simply and concisely: "Passing by."
Jiang Wang also said straightforwardly: "I have something to ask you."
He didn't ask why Li Yi passed by here. It was just the Taoist affairs, and Li Yi himself had no leisure. He had known Li Yi for so long, and he had never seen this guy have any "own affairs".
Li Yiyi said: "What's the matter?"
Zhong Liyan's voice sounded almost at the same time: "Tell me and listen."
There is no need to avoid Zhong Liyan in this matter. Jiang Wang said: "There are demons in the world who have gathered in the Valley of No Return. I want to draw my sword to fight them."
A very calm word, but it is like thunder in the sky.
Humans and demons exist in this world, not just for a while.
Humans and demons cause trouble for more than one day.
Why do we always hunt down the killers one after another, but never completely eliminate them?
Because the leader of human demons, the selfless demon Yan Chunhui, is the pinnacle of the world!
Many people may be able to defeat him, but killing him is not that simple.
Moreover, he was restrained even if he stayed in Wuhui Valley.
Once you kill him and make him run around, it will be a disaster that is immeasurable.
A constrained and scrupulous Jue Dian, and a completely unscrupulous selfless demon are completely different things.
Zhong Liyan murmured solemnly: "Wu Hui Valley is actually nothing, and Chen Guo can completely ignore it. The most troublesome thing is Yan Chun Hui - now he lives in Wu Hui Valley all the time. He has been demented all year round and doesn't know the world. He doesn't do any evil at all. You
Do you really want to kill him?"
Jiang Wangdao: "The most evil things I have seen in my life are human demons. Protecting other human demons is his greatest evil! If he doesn't kill this person, the human demons will continue. Now I can use the sword as a hoe to cut off the roots."
"Once you reach the top, you want to get rid of all the old regrets!" Zhong Liyan was very envious.
Damn it, why didn't he reach the peak first?
He also has a lot of unfinished regrets!
Such as exiling Dou Zhao, such as defeating Jiang Wang, such as asking Dad to remove his armor.
Jiang Wang didn't hide it and said directly: "Today's sharp sword will strengthen my voice!"
In the past, what he could do in Qingyunting was extremely limited.
Back in the Xingyue Plains battlefield, he could only watch Yan Chun being taken away and revealed.
Now he can say that Yan Chunhui will be killed!
Although Zhong Liyan felt sour in his heart, he did not delay thinking about the business and said thoughtfully: "The reputation of Wuhui Valley is not for nothing. Yan Chunhui's strength is unfathomable. If we want to kill him, we have to do something
Fully prepared.”
we?
Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, then listened to Li again: "I've heard of this person. He's not easy to kill, but he's very strong."
Li Yi, who cherishes words like gold, rarely speaks so many words, which shows that Yan Chunhui is famous and indeed fierce.
Jiang Wangdao: "That's why I came to you. Taixu Pavilion has the responsibility to maintain order. It has the name of the world and bears the responsibility of the world. Now that we have the power to eliminate demons, how can we feel at ease if we let the demons go? Let's join hands and let's do it again.
Move the Taixu Pavilion. In addition, I also invited Grandmaster Gongsun of the Xingren Palace. He has long been interested in getting rid of the harm——"
"That's how it should be!" Zhong Liyan gave a high-five and said energetically: "You arranged it well. The four of us join forces. It's not difficult to kill him."
Jiang Wang:……
Jiang, the newly promoted true king, originally wanted to drag Li Yi and leave like this.
But it's not good to just leave Zhong Liyan here.
After all, when the Immortal Dragon Method was used to prove Shura Tian, he begged himself for help. It was hard to forget this favor so quickly.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Zhenjun said seriously: "I know where Dou Zhao is. Didn't you say you were cheated by him last time and were very annoyed?"
He added: "I have a detailed address. I can also draw a route map for you."
Zhong Liyan waved his hand: "I don't care. Now is the time to eliminate harm for the people, how can we stick to personal grudges? - When doing big things, we should be thunderous, and if we indulge lightly, we will lose the benefits. Don't hesitate too much, let's go now!
"
He took the lead, turned around and flew out of Yu Yuan: "Follow me!"
After thinking about it, he added to Jiang Wang: "Give me the address after you get rid of the harm."
