It was already late at night in the former residence of the Huangfu clan in Luoyang, but soldiers and horses from all walks of life were still coming in and out in an endless stream.
After the incident occurred during the daytime enthronement ceremony, the imperial court sent out 18 troops, which spread out for hundreds of miles with the imperial city as the center, trying their best to search for traces of the Overlord and his gang.
At the same time, the damage to the new palace is still being counted and rescued, and the Huangfu family's mansion is filled with mourners.
A group of royal relatives or relatives wept around the bodies of their dead relatives, or cried bitterly due to serious injuries and disabilities, insulting and cursing the damned villain.
Huangfu Wuji was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a chair. He kept listening to the various people sent out to report back. His expression was extremely gloomy and he didn't say a word.
"Your Majesty, our Tianjing Mansion soldiers have been searching in various directions and captured all those who were acting suspiciously near the imperial city, but there is still no trace of the villain Gu Chen."
A leader of Tianjing Mansion said tremblingly.
"Lord Hades, my spies from various places in the Hades Palace have received urgent reports. Since the overlord made a big fuss during the day, rebellions of varying degrees have occurred in various parts of Kyushu!"
A Hades God Guard in the Hades Palace had a tense look on his face.
Huangfu Wuji listened quietly, clenching his fists subconsciously, and the entire hall was filled with a gloomy murderous aura, making everyone walk on thin ice for a while, fearing that the new emperor would take it out on them when he was angry.
At this time, the man in the bamboo hat strode in from outside the hall. Huangfu Wuji raised his head and looked at him with an expressionless face.
"How's the investigation going?" he asked.
The man in the bamboo hat had a pair of will-o'-the-wisp eyes flashing, and his tone was stern. "Reporting to Lord Hades, my subordinates have carefully investigated the source of the explosion in the palace, and also examined the corpses of many members of the royal family. It can be clearly determined that Gu Chen has on hand
A large number of incredibly powerful weapons.”
"The palace was heavily guarded. The reason why it was destroyed instantly was because the enemy had placed amazingly powerful forbidden weapons in different directions of the palace! The lethality of these forbidden weapons is very rare, and their concealment is extremely strong. According to the refining methods of the Thousand Refining Saint Sect,
The weapon master said that even if they checked the palace in advance, it would be difficult to discover the existence of these forbidden weapons."
"As for the forbidden talisman that killed a large number of royal children in the Imperial City Square, the production process is also extremely sophisticated and complex. This forbidden talisman controls the power of the explosion within a very small range, bringing perfect lethality without causing any damage.
It involves too much.”
When the man in the hat said this, his tone paused. "Considering the rare lethality of these weapons, and the fact that your fourth son Huangfude is dead, I'm afraid..."
"I'm afraid that evil got into the weapon king's arsenal!"
Huangfu Wuji gritted his teeth and said, having guessed the truth of the matter.
"Yes, everyone in the world has heard that whoever gets the weapon king's arsenal can conquer the world. Now that the arsenal has fallen into the hands of the overlord, the situation is not good!"
The man in the hat analyzed, "And today the Overlord appeared by means of space projection. As far as I know, he is not proficient in space magic, which means that there are masters in this field around him. With such a person around, it will be very difficult to catch him.
promote."
"Other than that, we know nothing about his companions today. He is not fighting alone. Maybe some of the remnants of Heaven have gathered under his command."
"Now the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. The Overlord is barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes. We need to be careful to guard against what he calls the killing order of heaven. Moreover, today's incident will inevitably cause some very bad effects, and various forces may be affected by it.
It's about to happen, adults must prepare early."
The man in the bamboo hat had a long talk and analyzed the current situation clearly, which made Huangfu Wuji a little less angry and calm down.
"It seems that we must get rid of this guy as soon as possible, otherwise he will ruin our affairs!"
His IQ regained its high ground, and his eyes flickered as he said, "Pass on my instructions and summon all the famous fortune tellers in Kyushu. I will divine Gu Chen's position as quickly as possible!"
"Sir, have you forgotten? Cangtian Bagu's physique is special. Not only you, but also Gu Chen and others have difficulty using fortune-telling to deduce everything related to it."
The man in the bamboo hat reminded.
"Of course I know this. If I can't calculate his position, I can always calculate the position of other people, right? For example, his mother Shen Yushu! As long as we find his mother, it's only a matter of time before we catch him!"
Huangfu Wuji smiled coldly.
Originally, because he had needs for various Confucian schools, and Shen Yushu was just a weak woman, he never cared about her.
But now the remnant of the Gu family has completely angered him, and he will catch him out no matter what the means.
And this Shen Yushu will be a breakthrough!
"Jie, Jie, Jie, sir, this is indeed a solution. However, since the Jiang family was destroyed, those fortune masters have not been very obedient, and the level of obedience's fortune skills is not very good. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time."
The man in the bamboo hat smiled strangely.
When Huangfu Wuji mentioned this, the gloom on Huangfu Wuji's face gathered again. He took the astrology hand from the old prophet of the Jiang family. He already had the ability to predict the future and turn misfortune into good luck, but it was sealed by the Emperor of Heaven with the book of heaven.
this ability.
If this were not the case, there would be no need to rely on the power of other fortune tellers at the moment, and even the ability of divine calculation is still there. The trick Gu Chen played today would not be successful at all, and he had already won it in advance!
"Speed up as much as possible, I want to catch that kid as soon as possible!"
Huangfu Wuji was upset. He waved his hand and asked the man in the hat to go down and be busy. He then ordered his subordinates to call Shen Xudong in.
When Shen Xudong stepped into the hall of the Huangfu family, many people from the Huangfu family present had red eyes.
"Dad, Shen Xudong is the grandfather of the remnant of the Gu family. He should be arrested! Use him to force that beast to show his face!"
Huang Furen, who was present, gritted his teeth and said that he was seriously injured all over his body, especially his face which was completely destroyed. His appearance when he spoke was shocking.
However, even though he was in good condition, unfortunately he was already dead.
His words aroused the hatred of many tribesmen, and they all remonstrated and demanded that Shen Xudong be taken down!
"Your Highness, the Third Prince, is serious. Although Gu Chen is related to me by blood, the Emperor knows best that he has had nothing to do with our Shen family since he was a child. Our Shen family is a loyal family, and we will wholeheartedly assist the new emperor. I hope you will
Your Majesty knows everything!"
Shen Xudong bowed deeply to Huangfu Wuji.
Huangfu Wuji looked at the old guy with a gloomy expression.
To be honest, after what happened today, even exterminating the entire Shen family would not be able to relieve the hatred in his heart. But now that he had just secured his position, he was in urgent need of help from various Confucian schools.
Shen Xudong held great authority in the imperial court. Because of his presence, he, the new emperor, could quickly gain a foothold in everything from government decrees to systems, from the central government to the local government.
He knew very well that this old man was not satisfied with him, but because he cared more about the peace and tranquility of the people in the world, he was willing to cooperate with him.
This kind of sour Confucian thought of putting people in the world first was the fundamental reason why he never doubted the relationship between the other party and the remnants of the Gu family.
