Chapter 242 A sudden invitation

Hearing that Dongfang Yaorao was awake, Xu Zun stood up and wanted to go over to visit him, but as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Dongfang Yaorao staggering towards him.

"Hey? Oriental God Capture?" Xu Zun reached out to help him, but felt it was inappropriate, so he had to let him into the hall, "You are seriously injured, so be careful..."

Before Xu Zun finished speaking, Dongfang Enchanting said impatiently: "Special Envoy Xu, we are extremely urgent, cough cough... Cao Ding's housekeeper is the internal agent of Xuanmen, he... he killed Tie Lao... cough cough...

"

Seeing this, Huo Anu quickly helped Dongfang Yaorao to the seat and sat down.

"Special Envoy Xu," Dongfang Enchanting said impatiently, "the attack launched by Xuanmen is likely to be hidden underground! Ahem..."

Huo Anu opened her mouth and wanted to tell her what was happening, but Xu Zun pulled her from behind.

"Eastern God Captor, don't be anxious," Xu Zun advised, "Speak slowly."

"I..." Huo Anu understood what Xu Zun meant and immediately interrupted, "I'll get you a glass of water first."

"Special Envoy Xu," Dongfang Yaorao said, "Tie Lao and I were talking in the hall of Cao Ding's house. Tie Lao suddenly remembered something and said that he had exchanged several ancient maps with Cao Ding a few years ago. Those ancient maps were all about the Holy Spirit.

They are all distributed in underground culverts.

"We realize that the matter is of great importance and suspect that the Xuanmen rebels may use these ditches to make a fuss, so we want to go to the Ministry of Industry to find you...

"Unexpectedly, a choking smoke suddenly appeared in the hall," Dongfang Yaorao said, "and then he was killed by Cao Ding's steward, who was very skilled in martial arts, and Tie Lao's throat was sealed with his sword.

!

"Although I blocked his fatal sword, I was still injured and fell into coma...

"Ahem... Special envoy, we have to find those ancient maps quickly and go down to stop them... Ahem..."

In desperation, Dongfang Enchanting's mouth was already covered with blood foam.

Seeing this, Xu Zun comforted her and told her what happened after she fell into coma.

"Explosion?" Dongfang Yaorao was even more shocked, "So...do they already have explosives? Impossible? The Sanfa Department and our Divine Catching Department have always monitored explosives. If someone carries explosives, there is no way he can escape.

Check, unless..."

"Unless what?" Xu Zun asked.

"Unless it is for official use," Dongfang Enchanting said, "both the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry will use it, one for developing weapons and the other for blasting projects.

"However, even for official use, the control is very strict and requires joint review and approval from various departments before entering the Holy Capital."

"What about...the transfer envoy of the Holy Capital?" Xu Zun asked, "This person also died in the assassination."

"No," Dongfang Enchanting waved his hand, "Explosives are not the responsibility of the Transportation Department, they are all channeled by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry.

"Special Envoy Xu... I think now is not the time to investigate the origin of the explosives. The top priority is to find those Xuanmen rebels and stop their conspiracy!

"If explosives are used underground, there may be serious consequences, right?"

call……

Xu Zhengzong took a deep breath. What Dongfang Yaorao was thinking about was exactly what he was most worried about.

However, those from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Works swore that even if explosives were used, it would be impossible to shake the Holy Capital Palace.

"Huh?" Dongfang Yaorao thought about it seriously and said to Xu Zun, "Special Envoy Xu, tell me, they deliberately used a prison car to cause an explosion at the exit gate, did they want to divert our attention?"

"Oh?" Xu Zun was also thinking this and asked quickly, "How can you see it?"

"They deliberately exposed the warden. Could it be that they want to delay time so that we can focus all our energy on this, thereby buying time for those underground?" Dongfang Enchanting guessed.

Xu Zun nodded secretly. Although he and Dongfang Yanluo had the same idea, he still felt that he seemed to have missed something.

But I can't tell what exactly I missed.

"Special Envoy Xu, cough..." Dongfang Enchanting said excitedly, "In addition to the entrance you found at Shi Chun's house, I also know several underground entrances!"

"What?" Xu Zun opened his eyes wide, "Is there another entrance?"

"Of course, Xuanmiao City is so big, how can it only have one entrance?" Dongfang Yaorao said, "When we were handling cases in the past, we discovered many underground caves that were bottomless.

"Let me think about it...there is a passage behind the General Daye Temple in Xinglongfang, where those who opened underground gambling houses were there.

"I sent people to arrest them, and some of them went underground. We went in to chase them, but we found that it was like a maze that we dared not go deep into.

"Afterwards, I never saw those people again. They must have died underground because they got lost, right?

"So, we sealed the entrance."

Um……

Xu Zun listened carefully and thoughtfully.

"Sir Special Envoy," Dongfang Enchanting said, "General Daye Temple is very close to here. I can take you to see it."

General Daye Temple!

Xu Zun looked at the map and quickly found this place. He was surprised to find that it was almost close to the palace, not even one mile away.

If you enter from this place, it will be much closer to the palace than to Shi Chun's house.

Dongfang Enchanting understood Xu Zun's thoughts and said: "This is the only entrance closest to the palace that I know!

"If we organize people to search as soon as possible, we might be able to find those Xuanmen rebels without using Cao Ding's ancient map..."

Upon hearing Dongfang's enchanting proposal, everyone present was moved.

"Yeah..." Huo Anu whispered, "Since their goal is the palace, then after going down, they only need to look in the direction of the palace, maybe they can actually hit them!"

However, although Xu Zun was very moved, he still felt that something was wrong.

"Sir Special Envoy...ahem..." Dongfang Enchanting said, "Without further delay, if you still have concerns, then I will summon the men of the Divine Catcher Division and ask them to search through all the known entrances.

"I think I have to bring all the equipment and mark it carefully so that I won't get lost."

"Well..." After some careful consideration, Xu Zun nodded and said, "Dongfang Divine Captor, in that case, let's go to General Daye Temple first to see the situation.

"You can also recruit the men of your Divine Catcher Division!"

"Okay!" Dongfang Enchanting immediately entrusted the guards of the Internal Guard House to summon the detectives from the Divine Catcher Division.

At the same time, Xu Zun asked the Ministry of Industry for some details about explosives, but Lan Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry clearly told Xu Zun that the Ministry of Industry had never used explosives in recent years.

Therefore, the explosive must have nothing to do with the Ministry of Industry...

Soon, Dongfang Enchanting was ready, and Xu Zun was preparing to set off with a group of guards.

As luck would have it, before Xu Zun could leave the hall, a person rushed over from the other side. It was Zhao Yu who had already gone down the culvert.

"My lord, my lord, this can't be done..." Seeing that Zhao Yu was covered in mud and smelly, he said in an extremely embarrassed manner, "When the culvert reaches the end, there is only a round hole left. We are not cats or dogs, so we can't get in."

ah!"

"Oh?" Xu Zun asked, "So you came back?"

"Not only that," Zhao Yu said helplessly, "there are some vertical holes above the two walls of the culvert. We explored a few and found that some were open, some were not, some were like a maze, and some were like a maze.

Don’t move…”

"..." Xu Zun said in his heart, are you talking about tongue twisters?

However, he could probably understand what Zhao Yu meant, that is, the culverts were criss-crossing, and without exact drawings, there would be no way to pass through them.

Therefore, now we can only see if we can gain anything from the entrance of General Daye Temple.

While he was talking, Xu Zun saw Zhao Yu holding a yellow invitation-like thing in his hand.

"Oh," Zhao Yu hurriedly handed the item to Xu Zun and explained, "There was a guy with a goatee at the door who said he wanted to see you for something, so he was stopped by the internal guards.

"So, he wrote a greeting note and asked me to give it to you, saying that he had something to discuss with you."

"What?"

Xu Zun frowned and said to himself, isn't there a curfew on the streets now? People who want to find me must be people with status who can enter the Internal Guard House.

But if this person can’t get in, who could he be?

Could it be that...there is a major clue that you want to provide to yourself?

Thinking of this, Xu Zun quickly opened the greeting card and saw a few simple words written inside:

"Jianghu grudges, I would like to express my special greetings, come and see you outside the door."

Looking at the signature, there is also a signature: "Yue - Jing - Lei!!!"
