Zu An was stunned, why was gunpowder involved again?
Although this world is a world of cultivation, there is also gunpowder, but its power is far inferior to those of the thermal weapons in the previous life, and it is not as good as some of the skills of some high-level practitioners in this world.
But its advantages are low cost and low difficulty of acquisition, so it is widely used in the military or some mining industries.
Seemingly seeing his doubts, Yun Jianyue explained: "At first, the imperial court transported a batch of gunpowder to Yi County. It was supposed to be handed over by King Yan, but it was robbed midway. The local embroidered cloth messenger responsible for investigating the case was Jiang
Zhong, later after his investigation, he said that the batch of gunpowder had been stolen by the Demon Cult, and the case was closed."
Zu An sighed: "If it were placed in other places, this conclusion would be fine, but he didn't know that King Yan and the Demon Sect had already secretly united."
Yun Jianyue glared at him, obviously dissatisfied with his referring to the Demon Cult: "Yes, of course we know we didn't do this, and King Yan also believed us, so there is something wrong with the person who came to this conclusion."
"The King of Yan sent people to investigate him, but he happened to be chased by a group of mysterious people who tried to silence him. King Yan's men took advantage of the chaos and rescued him."
"Where is Jiang Zhong now?" Zu An asked. After he realized that Jiang Zhong had a problem, a group of people searched everywhere but could not find him.
"Prince Yan probably hid him or silenced him." Yun Jianyue shook her head, obviously she didn't care about such a small person.
"Later, the King of Yan interrogated Jiang Zhong. At that time, he had no choice but to seek refuge with the King of Yan," Yun Jianyue replied. "It seems that this Jiang Zhong was obsessed with gambling and lost all his family."
He also owed a lot of foreign debts, and the marriage fell through because of this. He got deeper and deeper into trouble, and only then did Yingying Tower find an opportunity to bribe him."
"Gambling is really harmful." Zu Anxin thought that there was something wrong with Yi County's embroidery system. Even the embroidery messengers under his command were like this and didn't notice it in advance.
"It's just that Jiang Zhong doesn't know the details of the Shadow Tower. He just follows orders. The person he contacted has long since disappeared." Yunjian Yue is the leader of the Demon Cult, but she obviously has some concerns about this mysterious Shadow Tower.
fear.
"Where is the missing batch of gunpowder?" Zu An asked.
"After my investigation during this period, the last clue was broken near Zishan, so I suspect that this batch of gunpowder has been transported to Zishan." Yun Jianyue said.
"What!" Zu An's surprise was no small matter. The amount of gunpowder that could be used by the imperial court as military supplies was so large. What would they do if they were really hiding in Zishan?
Thinking that the emperor is about to come here to enshrine Zen, it seems that the purpose is not difficult to guess.
"It's just that I don't know where it is hidden, and it's almost impossible for such a large amount of gunpowder to come in quietly, so the only possibility is that some big shot in Zishan is protecting it," Yun Jianyue said.
"Are you suspicious of Wang Wuxie?" Zu An's head jumped. The entire Zishan is his territory. If something like this happens, he is the most suspicious.
"Wang Wuxie is indeed suspicious," Yun Jianyue nodded, "In addition, it is not impossible for people from the nine Taoist sects. For this Taoist sect competition, many people came to Zishan in advance. If they can help, the Zhengyang sect will
It’s not easy to check their things at home.”
"So during this period of time, you pretended to be Elder Peng of Kongming Island to investigate secretly.
"This matter," Zu An thought about everything during this period, no wonder he could always feel the familiarity from Peng Wuyan. Fortunately, he did not have any conflicts with them these days, and instead helped them several times, otherwise he would still be hated to death.
"By the way, where are the real Elder Peng and Peng Wuyan?"
"Killed by me." Yun Jianyue said with a straight face, "I am a female devil who kills people without blinking an eye."
Zu An frowned. Although he knew her identity before, he didn't come into contact with his ferocious side much after being in contact with her. Now that he heard this kind of thing, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Look, I scared you." Yun Jianyue rolled her eyes, "Don't worry, it would be a waste to kill such people. I have imprisoned them. I will let them go after this incident is over. Maybe they will be saved."
It can bury a nail in the door of Taoism."
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked with a smile: "How was the investigation?"
"Honglei and I have been investigating this matter these days, but unfortunately we haven't gained much." Yun Jianyue looked a little confused after finishing speaking, "Sometimes the lack of gain can explain a lot of problems."
Zu An was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"I have also suspected several other Taoist sects before, but after all, they live here as guests. If they want to hide that batch of gunpowder silently without being discovered by me, it is impossible to do it." Yun Jianyue paused.
Then he said with a solemn expression, "And the only person in Zishan who can do this is probably Wang Wuxie."
"I think he has an immortal spirit, and as a national master, he shouldn't do such a thing." Zu An recalled Wang Wuxie's appearance these days, and really couldn't see anything strange about him.
often.
"Immortal spirit?" Yun Jianyue sneered, "That's because you haven't seen his ugly behavior in pursuing the Ice Stone Girl when he was young."
Zu An: "..."
Yan Xuehen's charm is indeed great. It's not surprising that people of the previous generation liked her. On the contrary, it might be a problem for people who don't like her.
Yun Jianyue looked serious: "The reason why I came to you today is firstly to intercede with King Yan, and secondly to remind you that King Yan has been working hard in Yi County for so many years. Do you think he can be taken care of so easily?
"
Zu An's head jumped: "What do you mean..."
"The King of Yan has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command. Once they are instigated, problems can easily arise," Yun Jianyue continued, "And as far as I know, you have not captured the Crown Prince of Yan and the Prime Minister of Yan, Sun Xun.
"
"Do they still dare to raise an army to rebel?" Zu An's expression changed slightly. Now that Zhao Hao is still there and the imperial court is strong, raising an army at this time is not to use an egg against a stone.
"You can't think that everyone is so rational. Once they are on the verge of despair, it won't be a surprise what they do." Yun Jianyue said slowly.
Just as Zu An was about to say something, he suddenly felt something in his heart and took out the embroidered messenger's gold medal. A message came from it: King Yan's army surrounded Yicheng and demanded the release of King Yan. The entire city of Yicheng was about to be destroyed.
Zu An's head sank. Although he knew that these people could not cause any big trouble and would definitely be suppressed by Zhao Hao and the imperial court in the future, the ordinary people in Yicheng, as well as Xiao Jianren, Zhang Zitong and others may not be able to survive this military rebellion.
Save your life.
"I'm going to Yicheng!" Zu An stood up and said.
"I'll go with you. After all, without King Yan as a backer, life will be difficult for the Holy Sect.
"Yun Jianyue also stood up and put on Elder Peng's mask again.
Xie Daoyun was wandering around worriedly outside. Zhang Zijiang chuckled and said, "Don't be anxious, Miss Xie. Mr. Zu has a world-class cultivation and there will be no danger."
Xie Daoyun's face turned red and he whispered: "I'm not worried, but Elder Peng is a senior in the Taoist sect and can cultivate a disciple as powerful as Peng Wuyan. Her cultivation is even more unfathomable. Master Zu... After all, sir
still young."
At this moment, the door creaked open, and Zu An and Yun Jianyue walked out.
Xie Daoyun hurriedly greeted him, and Zhang Zijiang changed his previous relaxed look and looked at Zu An with the same anxious and worried expression.
"I'm fine, I'm going out for a while, you guys be careful." Zu An replied.
"Master Zu, is there something urgent?" Xie Daoyun asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, there's a small problem in Yicheng. I'll go over and solve it. There's no danger." Zu An didn't want her to worry, so he comforted her casually.
Xie Daoyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Zu An originally wanted Zhang Zijiang to investigate about a batch of gunpowder on Zishan Mountain, but then he changed his mind and thought, wouldn't it be nice to blow up Zhao Hao to death? Why should I worry about him?
After thinking about this, he felt relieved, and then waved goodbye to the two of them.
After leaving, Yun Jianyue suddenly smiled and said, "That Miss Xie seems to care about you."
Zu An laughed and said: "Friends are just the concern between friends."
"It's a friend again. You have quite a lot of beautiful female friends around you." Yun Jianyue sneered.
Zu An glanced at her in surprise, with a playful expression: "Sister Yun, what are you doing?"
Are you jealous?"
Yun Jianyue's face heated up and she glared at him fiercely:
"Go away, I'm just fighting for my Honglei family's injustice."
"Why are you laughing? Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!"
"dare you laugh?"
…
After the two went down the mountain, Zu An took out the Hot Wheels and invited the other party to come up.
Yun Jianyue hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I can just fly by myself."
It was obviously a deliberate attempt to keep a distance from him.
Zu Anxin thought that she really deserved to be a sworn enemy of Yan Xuehen, and they all had the same idea.
He didn't force it. After the two of them flew into the sky, he said in order to find a topic: "By the way, did you arrange the turtle spirit in Blackwater Pond before?"
At that time, it was precisely because it mentioned that a woman dumped the body of Gold Medal No. 7 in the black pool that night that they suspected going to Xiaoyao Tower.
Yun Jianyue was stunned: "What kind of turtle spirit? King Yan knew that you had discovered such a woman, so he asked Jiang Zhong to lead her to Xiaoyao Tower."
"You don't know about the turtle spirit?" Zu An was horrified. He had always thought that the turtle spirit was arranged by King Yan and deliberately lured him to Tang Tian'er. Just because he didn't know about his relationship with Tang Tian'er, this
She was just a little short of a chess player, but judging by the meaning of her words, she didn't know the existence of the turtle spirit at all.
"I really don't know. I'm still wondering how you knew that Gold Medal Seventh was related to a woman before his death. Was it because there was a turtle spirit in Black Water Pond?" Yunjian Yue is the leader of the Demon Cult and is well-informed, so she naturally knows some spirits.
legend.
Zu An told her about the incident in Blackwater Pond. Yun Jianyue frowned and suddenly said after a while: "Have you ever
Have you ever thought that the turtle spirit didn’t lie to you?”
Zu An was stunned: "Then why did it run away with a guilty conscience and leave such a message?"
Yun Jianyue smiled slightly: "You are usually quite smart, why are you so confused now? Think about it, if you are that turtle spirit, there is an existence that can kill you at any time, how dare you continue to stay?
Is it there?"
"As for incense and the like, it is nothing compared to life. As long as life is there, it can slowly condense again. There is no need to risk staying there."
"As for the words it left behind, since the loss was so great because of you, it's normal for it to take advantage of you."
Zu An: "..."
There were so many thoughts in my mind at the same time.
