Chapter 357 Missing
With Jun Qianzi's voice interrupted, the talisman burned and annihilated by itself, turned into ashes, and dissipated in the wind.
Lian Xuanxiao stood silently holding the sword, his eyes slowly lowered, as if he had aged a few years in a trance.
"well"
He let out a long sigh, sheathed his sword, and raised the cuff of his right hand.
On the thin arm, there was a deep and scorched scar,
The scar stretched from the elbow to the shoulder, chest, to the heart, and spread like a spider web,
It seemed to have life, flickering with every breath he took.
Lian Xuanxiao put down his sleeves, facing Chang'an, staring at the country he loves.
I don’t know how long I can last.
He shook his head, his figure disappeared, leaving only a barren, lifeless forest pothole, facing the sky silently.
——
The fire was extinguished.
Chen Danqiu looked down at the scorched and smoky city of Chang'an, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The plans made by those who attacked Chang’an must not be insidious. If the fire was caused by talismans, then the Xuegong Zhenfu Division could easily extinguish it.
But the fire caused by the giant tooth whale oil is not affected by spells, and it is difficult to extinguish even if it rains, and it is easy to spread.
Fortunately, everyone responded in a timely manner and rescued in a timely manner.
Plus not all fireworks in Fangshi exploded successfully,
Finally, the disaster did not develop in the worst direction.
And the turbulent wind that enveloped the city, because the disaster did not intensify further, also slowly dissipated, and no one knew where it was going.
sudden—
Shen Tuyu flew out of the palace and stopped in front of Chen Danqiu.
"Brother,"
Chen Danqiu greeted, "How is Your Majesty?"
"In the darkroom of Daming Palace, it's very safe."
Shen Tuyu paused for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I'm still angry."
The emperor's fury is justifiable,
Jinwuwei, Zhenfusi and other institutions have made a full year of preparations for the security of the Yue King's wedding.
But this kind of accident still happened.
The clan nobles, court ministers, and foreign missions at the wedding were almost caught in a pot, and the entire Chang'an City was also engulfed in flames, almost burning to nothing.
The culprit must be found.
Shen Tuyu said: "The Jinwu Guard has already proposed to hold the Qiqiao Festival in the shortest possible time. Merchants from the eastern and western cities, craftsmen who make fireworks and lanterns, guards at the city gates who are responsible for checking incoming and outgoing goods, etc., all those who may involve attackers, All under control.
The number of people is as many as three thousand. "
Chen Danqiu frowned and said, "So many people?"
"I don't know which link went wrong, and it's still under investigation,"
Shen Tuyu frowned and said: "When my subordinates followed the list to arrest them, many people on the list either disappeared mysteriously or committed suicide.
It's not like Zhou, Jing, or Turkic spies. It is more like the thousand-machine puppet technique of Emperor Taixuan of the former Sui Dynasty. "
"What?!"
Chen Danqiu's eyelids twitched. Taixuanzong was one of the most powerful hermit sects in the former Sui Dynasty. He liked to collect epigraphy cultural relics and delve into ancient secret arts.
Their thousand-machine puppet technique can perfectly control those whose cultivation level is lower than their own, making them act as puppets.
As long as the number of thoughts and the speed of thinking can keep up, you can even control hundreds of people at the same time!
Snack vendors on the street who warmly entertain customers, potbellied merchants, yamen servants who fish in troubled waters, and even kabuki in romantic venues,
In such a big city, anyone can be a puppet.
The threat to social order is unmatched by any secret technique.
"How's the situation?"
Before the people arrive, the sound has arrived. Lian Xuanxiao flew down from the clouds and landed in front of Shen Tuyu and Chen Danqiu.
The two saluted and quickly introduced the current situation of Chang'an City.
Shen Tuyu said: "As long as he appears again, he can be locked directly."
"Um."
Lian Xuanxiao nodded noncommittally,
Chen Danqiu hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Shan Zhang, this attack."
"Junqianzi,"
Lian Xuanxiao said lightly: "There is indeed his shadow behind this."
Shen Tuyu and Chen Danqiu looked at each other and fell silent.
The **** breath brought by the defection more than ten years ago is still unforgettable. At that time, they were not the two who offered the sacrifice and the wine, but also the witnesses of that incident.
"This is for you."
Lian Xuanxiao said, and flew towards the Furong Garden.
"Tsk."
Shen Tuyu smacked his lips with mixed emotions. With the talents, knowledge and popularity of the emperor's son back then, if he didn't defect, he would definitely be able to ascend to the position of secretary.
He knows Xuegong and Yu State well, such enemies are far more terrifying than the thousands of troops of Zhou State and Jing State.
"Mr. Shentu!"
The deputy commander of the Zhen Fu Division, Qi Ji, ascended into the sky with the help of a talisman, and quickly said to Shen Tuyu and Chen Danqiu: "Situ Zhi, who was imprisoned in the sarcophagus forest before, has disappeared."
——
Gululu.
The wheels turned, and the carriage drove on the official road to the north.
Situ Zhi, with a pale face and messy beard and hair, sat on the seat of the carriage.
His hands and feet were still in heavy shackles, and his whole body was covered with chains,
At the shoulders, there are two flesh and blood holes that penetrate the lute bone,
The entire sea of popularity is sluggish, the spiritual veins are shrinking, and there is no hope of recovering the cultivation base.
But the eyes are as sharp as ever.
"Dare to use secret techniques to **** me away under Zhenfusi's nose, taking advantage of the moment when Lian Xuanxiao just left, you are really very brave."
Situ Zhi spoke slowly, because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was hoarse like a millstone, "However, daring to betray Zhao Ming is no longer brave, but stupid."
Sitting opposite him was a smiling young girl. It was Lu Yunan, a businessman from Montenegro in the north.
"Mr. Situ is wrong, when did I betray Zhaoming?"
Lu Yunan smiled and said: "Afraid of being locked by Chang'an Weijing, Yajiu destroyed all the puppets, and escaped from Chang'an himself, traveling thousands of miles away.
So in her field of vision, I just released Li Luanfeng as instructed, and took the opportunity to leave Chang'an after completing the task.
Nobody knows you're here with me.
Even if Yajiu and the others found out that you disappeared in the disaster, they would only think that it was the Zhen Fusi or the Academy who transferred you to a more secret prison. "
Zhaoming acts secretly,
The one at the top is You Qiong who founded the organization single-handedly,
Situzhi, Junqianzi, Yuansou, Guishou and other monks Zhuxiao all obeyed his orders.
Below this, there are core members like Jun Qianzi’s disciple Ya Jiu and Situ Zhi’s disciple Yu Shi,
And Lu Yunan, Li Ang, etc., have been grasped and prepared to absorb peripheral members into the organization.
Lu Yunan clearly knew that Zhao Ming was unfathomable and that there were countless high-strength monks, but he still chose to take the huge risk of being wiped out and kidnap Situ Zhi,
Even Situ Zhi himself couldn't figure this out.
"My Sea of Qi is exhausted, and you probably don't have a way to restore my cultivation,"
Situ Zhi asked hoarsely: "I want to know, what exactly are you planning?"
"Your Excellency was expelled from the Western Kingdom because of taboo research, and was not tolerated by the Yu and Zhou Kingdoms.
Gu masters, no matter where they go, they are always being guarded and guarded against.
Even in the midst of all villains, no Brother Candle Xiao is willing to partner with Your Excellency. "
Lu Yunan smiled and said: "And I am willing to provide you with a stage to display your talents and knowledge and display the subtlety of Gu skills.
For example, Turks. "
She took out a spherical glass container from under the carriage table.
In the container, lay a dying black mouse full of fleas,
