Since Taoist Tian agreed, Su Cheng would not object.
It would be fine if I didn't meet these people, but since I met these people, these people were also in danger. If I had the ability, Su Cheng would not mind helping him.
This is Sucheng's code of conduct. He doesn't like trouble, but he will not avoid trouble when encountering trouble. He is willing to help others.
"We are all from Xuanyisi and are ordered by the emperor to escort the criminals south..."
Liu Sheng looked happy and told the cause of the incident and what happened.
Afterwards, through Liu Sheng's story, Su Cheng and Taoist Tian learned more details.
First of all, Xuanyisi is the direct force of the Emperor of the Dayan court, and is used to deal with some matters that the emperor should not interfere.
There are struggles everywhere. Although the emperor is supreme, there are many constraints on many things. The officials of the court dare to slander the emperor when facing their vital interests.
Almost all the important criminals Liu Sheng escorted this time were with court officials. In order to prevent the officials below from protecting each other, Liu Sheng was specially sent to escort him.
Of course, although the emperor did not like these officials, it was impossible to kill them all. If this would tear apart, the court would be in turmoil and completely in chaos.
Liu Sheng escorted these important criminals south and was still stable at first. After all, they all had dozens of people from the Xuanyisi Department, all of them were elite people, and even if they encountered ordinary monsters, they could be forcibly killed.
But just a few days ago, suddenly, someone in their team died mysteriously.
The reason why it is said to be bizarre is that these people commit suicide, and their hearts eventually disappear, but no external force can be seen.
It would be fine if one or two people committed suicide, but in just a few days, more than a dozen people died, including prisoners and soldiers. Liu Sheng had some insights and after repeated investigations, he still found no clues.
This is also because Xuanyi Si is extraordinary. As the emperor's confidant, he is a loyal and brave man who fights hundreds of loyal people. Otherwise, he would have escaped if he met such a strange person.
The Xuanyisi and others rushed to the road overnight, and wanted to escort the officials to the place as soon as possible to end this incident.
"It's not like the devil's doing... it's more like what a monk does?"
Taoist Tian looked at Su Cheng. From Liu Sheng's story, he had some speculations, but he also wanted to know Su Cheng's judgment.
After spending this period of time together, Taoist Tian naturally understood Su Cheng's abilities. If Su Cheng had the same views as him, then things would have been almost the same.
Su Cheng agreed with Taoist Tian’s judgment, but at the same time, he thought of more and immediately said:
"Master, do you still remember that Xu Hongru had said before that person had a little similar method to this matter."
When they talked with Xu Hongru before, they talked a lot. In addition to the few people whom they met in person, there were also some other people, and Su Cheng and Taoist Tian also heard about it.
"Wait, is that person? But... with his cultivation methods, why should we make things difficult for them?"
Taoist Tian frowned, looking a little puzzled. Although there are cruel and bloodthirsty people, they will not do useless things.
Even if you want to kill someone to practice martial arts, it is naturally easier for ordinary people to deal with the court, and you can avoid some trouble.
Su Cheng shook his head, it was naturally easy to explain this matter. It must be someone from the court or someone from other forces who contacted this left-door side door, otherwise he would not cause trouble with his own style of doing things like a left-door side door.
"I think... this person should be around, and he may still be watching us in secret."
Su Cheng looked around and although he had never noticed the danger, he did not take it lightly. Facing these people who were indifferent, no one dared to take it lightly.
"Liu Qianhu, we will stay with you in the next two days, let's see the situation first."
Taoist Tian asked Liu Sheng to leave, and then the guards and the prisoners stopped to rest, and some of them stayed in this remote place.
Seeing that Liu Sheng and others were stationed to rest, Taoist Tian looked around and said:
"What happened depends on tonight. If this person still plans to take action, he may not show up to see us."
Su Cheng nodded, he also thought so. In addition, when he heard about these people who were arbitrary, he also thought of Xu Hongru.
Since the last time he parted, he has not heard about the other party again, and now he doesn’t know what Xu Hongru is doing?
Have you started to rebel?
Subsequently, Su Cheng and Taoist Tian looked at each other speechlessly, and the sky became dimmer and most people had begun to fall asleep.
Wow!
Suddenly, the cold wind blew, and then a figure slowly came from a distance, standing two feet away in front of Su Cheng and Tian Daoren.
"You... are you?"
Taoist Tian frowned lightly, looked at the figure in front of him with a serious look.
Su Cheng was slightly stunned when he saw this, because it was not a person who arrived, but a wooden man.
"In the summer, Huang Lei, I have met two fellow Taoists. I have some personal grudges with these guards. Please don't make things difficult for me."
Huang Lei controlled the wooden man, stood in the distance, and greeted Su Cheng and Taoist Tian.
"I have met fellow Taoist, in Xiasu City. This is Master Tian. We have heard the name of fellow Taoist from Master Xu before..."
Su Cheng bowed to the wooden man in front of him, then pointed to where Liu Sheng and others were, and said:
"Why do fellow Taoists make things difficult for these officials? Don't you worry about the government's prosecution?"
If it were not necessary, Su Cheng would not want to fight with the people in front of him. If it could be resolved peacefully, it would naturally be the best result.
"Two fellow Taoists, I advise you not to interfere in this matter. It is very dangerous. Today, for the sake of your own sake, I will retreat first, but after tomorrow, I will not be able to hold back..."
Huang Lei said lightly, and then the wooden man turned around and left without any intention of talking too much.
Huh!
A gust of cold wind came, and the wooden man's body completely disappeared.
"It seems that there is indeed a hidden story behind this... Taoist priest, it seems that this matter cannot be done well."
Su Cheng said in a voice. It was obvious that Huang Lei left so neatly and clearly, that he had already made a decision in his heart. Even if Su Cheng and the others intervened, the other party would not stop.
"I had expected that these people from the side of the road are not good at it, so we must make some preparations."
Taoist Tian said in a deep voice. After seeing Huang Lei’s answer, he naturally realized that the other party had planned.
Su Cheng shook his head, still feeling a little confused. Even if Huang Lei wanted to kill people, why didn’t he directly take action to kill them all, but instead deliberately create panic?
People from the Xuanyi Department, Liu Sheng and others, can naturally suppress ordinary people, but they have no resistance to cultivators like Huang Lei.
Could it be that someone is seducing?
Or is there anything else here in addition to the prisoners, which Huang Lei needs?
