The joint investigation launched by Qi Jing and Jiang Wangsi into the Frostwind Valley has lasted for seven days, involving nine major human cities including Yanlao and Tieyan.
It could be said that it was like a comb that carefully combed through thousands of miles around, but the strange real person who used Mei Xuelin to attack Jiang Wang and repel Ji Zhaonan could not be combed out.
If a real person in this world deliberately conceals something, it will naturally be difficult to find out. Every real person has his or her own legend, and it is not difficult to hide one’s cultivation.
But whether in the present world or in the Civilized Basin, Qi Jing is one of the most powerful forces in the world. The two countries have jointly designated an area and conducted a thorough investigation. It can be said that if there is even the slightest doubt, it is almost impossible to hide it.
However, after seven days of investigation, no result came out. This of course gave rise to reasonable doubts - is there really a strange real person?
Could it be that one of the people guarding the demon world secretly manipulated the nine cities? There are three real people in the world who are exposed to the public. They are the real people of Jingguo, Pei Xinghe, the commander of the disaster-killing general of Chu State, Han.
Que, He Lian Yuyi, a true member of the Muguo clan.
Among these real people, Pei Xinghe has a great reputation, needless to say
Han Que was the commander of the right wing of the Chu State in the Battle of the River Valley. It was the collapse of the right wing he commanded and the retreat of the army that turned back into the central army, which caused Zuo Guanglie's surprise attack on Fengyang Mountain to lose its strategic value, making the entire war hopeless.
The tragic ending of redemption. He luckily escaped with his life in the war. After the defeat, he cut off all his titles, entered the gate of all monsters, and vowed to spend his life to atone for his sins.
He had a son named Han Li who was on good terms with Xiang Bei. Jiang Wang had met him in Huangliangtai of Chu State.
And Helian Yuyi is another living person from the Mu Kingdom clan, the backbone of the Damu royal family, the direct cousin of Queen Damu, and the biological aunt of Helian Yunyun.
During the ongoing war in Frostwind Valley, Han Que and Helian Yuyi had both appeared on the battlefields they were responsible for, and there was absolutely no time to go to Frostwind Valley to stir up trouble.
Although Pei Xinghe was not on the battlefield, he was meeting with Qin's envoy at that time - the people of Qin certainly had no obligation to cover up for Jing Guo. On the other hand, even telling this matter in public showed that Jing Guo wanted to clear his suspicions.
Sincerity in avoiding strategic misjudgments
As for the Qin State, Gan Xie, the real person in charge of the demon world battlefield in the Qin State, also publicly stated that sending Qin State messengers to the great city of Jing State was to communicate defense issues at the border between jurisdictions.
The strange real person has not been found, and all the real people on the surface have evidence to clear their suspicions.
Therefore, after this investigation, everything is still stagnant. As Xiu Yuan expected, the mysterious mastermind may have already erased his traces and escaped.
Gaoling City.
As one of the large cities of Jingguo in the northern part of the Civilization Basin, Gaoling City is much more majestic than Tieyan City. The straight-line distance between the two is about 800 miles, which can be regarded as the horns of each other.
"Jing Zong." Chu Zicheng, who was slightly drunk, said curiously: "The Marquis of Wu'an of Qi State who had an accident recently, I heard that he was originally from your Zhuang State?" Chu Zicheng was born in Ji State.
, the cultivation level of the second mansion does not yet have magical powers, and it is difficult to obtain magical powers in the foreseeable future.
The new ones are not as good as the previous ones, but more than the inferior ones.…
His apparent identity is that he is a talented person from a commoner family in Ji State. Relying on his own efforts, he got extraordinary opportunities and gradually cultivated to the realm of inner government. Now he is serving in Gaoling City, tying his head to his belt and earning some money.
Cultivation Qualifications 1 - This is also the norm for many monks from small countries in the Central Region. Ji Country itself has little chance to give it to him.
However, his actual identity is that he is a member of Jingguo Jingshi Tai. He was recruited at a very young age and secretly conducts intelligence affairs as a practitioner of Jiguo.
At this moment, Qiao Jingzong, who was sitting opposite him and drinking with him, was a monk from the inner palace of Zhuang State. He was ranked seventh among the very interesting Eight Masters of Xin'an. At the beginning of this year, through the relationship of Taoist State,
, after arriving at the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, he joined Gaoling City to serve. Of course, Zhuang Guo is now much stronger than Ji Guo. But if you want to make a living behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons on your own, it is still far from enough. You still have to rely on others.
Under the banner of Yu Jingguo.
The two of them had met on the battlefield before, and they were acquainted with each other, but they were not close friends. But friends, after drinking and chatting a few times, they became friends.
Friends are not an important word these days. Friends often know how to hurt you better.
After a big battle, it was natural for him to invite Qiao Jingzong for a drink when he could still have his hair cut off. When the wine was intoxicating, it was also natural for him to chat about the latest hot topics.
Qiao Jingzong was originally from the Qiao Kingdom. Because he saw no way out in his own country, he traveled to other countries and joined the Ming Dynasty. As expected, he was highly used in the Zhuang Kingdom, and even improved his cultivation and opened up the inner palace.
, ranked among the top eight in Xin'an, and ranked higher than Jiang Liuyue, who was born and raised in Zhuang.
At this time, he just circled the wine glass and looked at Chu Zicheng with drunken eyes: "What's there to say, that person?"
Chu Zicheng raised the cup and touched it with him: "In the world of Heavenly Prison, life and death are common things. People like us, how can dozens or hundreds of people not die on the battlefield in one day? Who would care? The geniuses who have always had troubles in Heavenly Prison, also
There are many of them. Like the one from Jingguo before, it was only this Marquis of Wu'an who had an incident in Frostwind Valley and made such a big fuss. I can't hide my curiosity, so let's chat casually."
Qiao Jingzong took a small sip and smiled: "I haven't been to Zhuang country for a damn long time. He was already gone when I went there. What the hell could I know?"
"It's just a casual chat. It doesn't have to be about what you saw or what you know." Chu Zicheng smiled and said: "What others say is fine. For example, what do people in Zhuang think of him?"
"How else can we look at it?" Qiao Jingzong said: "If you dare to be angry, don't dare to say anything. "Oh?" Chu Zicheng asked: "How do you say this?"
Qiao Jingzong hesitated to speak, and shrank his neck warily: "Don't dare to talk nonsense, the people of Qi are very fierce now, so let's not talk about it."
"Brother, you have aroused my curiosity." Chu Zicheng looked around and lowered his voice: "Tell me quickly! Is there anyone in the world who is guilty of gossiping? Be at ease. What Brother Qiao said today is true.
What you say comes into my ears, and no other person will know." Qiao Jingzong refused again.
Chu Zicheng persuaded again.
Probably because he drank too much, Qiao Jingzong finally snorted: "Actually, there is nothing to say, but you should have heard about the Fenglin City in Zhuangguo? His letter is very famous. Many people in Zhuangguo feel that Fenglin City
He is the biggest loser when it comes to Lin City Territory...
Benefits. The killing of Zhang Linchuan a while ago made a huge fuss and uprooted the Wusheng Cult, just to silence them. Zhang Linchuan, like him, is also from Fenglin City, Qinghe County, and is from one of the three major surnames in the local area. Wusheng Cult
What is its predecessor? Isn’t it still the White Bone Way?”
"This is so!"
Chu Zicheng certainly knew about these commonplace topics discussed by Zhuang Guo's senior officials, but he still looked shocked.
Then he said: "Then you should all be happy when something happens to him this time, right?"
"Harm, how do you say it?" Qiao Jingzong said: "I have only been in Zhuang Country for two years. To be honest, I have no feelings for that big shot. I am not sure whether he is the culprit of Maplewood City.
.So I can’t say whether I am happy or unhappy. But maybe my colleagues are very happy?”
"That's true, he and you have nothing to do with each other." Chu Zicheng drunkenly agreed and poured him a drink. Suddenly he thought of something: "By the way, I went to see you for a drink at the end of last month. What's wrong with you?"
Not here? My trip was in vain!"
Although Gaoling City is a large city located in the Demon Realm, there are also many restaurants and gambling houses, allowing the soldiers who are fighting for life and death to have a place to relax their emotions. During the war, the soldiers were all in the military camp, and they followed military orders when moving, sitting, or lying. They took turns.
For those who come down, there are also dormitories arranged in the city. With Qiao Jingzong's cultivation level, he can already live in a single room in Gaoling City, and he can have great freedom of time outside of the war.
Qiao Jingzong frowned as he was drunk: "At the end of last month? What day?" Chu Zicheng was half drunk, and said in a mocking tone: "I don't remember the twenty-eighth or twenty-ninth of the winter month?"
"Did you drink too much?" Qiao Jingzong pointed at him and mocked: "We were still in the military camp those days! Although we are no longer on the battlefield, we must do morning exercises every day, and the curfew does not allow you to drink any kind of wine with me.
?”
The twenty-eighth of the winter lunar month this year is a relatively sensitive day. It was on this day that Marquis Wu'an of the State of Qi fell into the Frostwind Valley. The current investigation all over the cities started from this day.
"Look at my memory!" Chu Zicheng patted his forehead: "I forgot all about this! Then I may have gone to see you a few days later, but I must have been there, and you were indeed not at home!"
Qiao Jingzong drank the wine and said with a smile: "Brother Chu also knows that I like to play around with money and don't often stay in my dormitory. The next time you come to see me, you have to make an agreement in advance in the military camp. Otherwise, you will miss me and blame me again."
"Chu Zicheng is a senior Jingshitai intelligence officer. Of course, he will not keep focusing on one topic to arouse the target's vigilance, so he smiled drunkly and said: "Then we have made a decision. If the next round of war is over, if we can all survive,
So I come here to drink!”
"Okay!" Qiao Jingzong nodded first, then shook his head: "No, not good, not good!"
He squinted his eyes and smiled a little bit: "Hey, I almost forgot, there is a letter from the court, calling me back! I have had enough experience this year, I probably won't participate in the next round of war."
Chu Zicheng was stunned for a moment and said: "That's right! You can't carry your head for too long with your head on the waistband. A talent like Brother Qiao,
He should be nurtured by Zhuang Ting’s good students. Come on, brother Qiao, I’ll toast you with a toast, and I’ll treat you as a farewell person!”
"Brother Chu." Qiao Jingzong raised his cup and said sincerely: "When you return to this world, come to Zhuang Country to find me, and I'll treat you to some authentic Qinghe wine and Daishan venison!"...
For those who have been fighting in the demon world all year round, this is undoubtedly quite sincere.
Sincere blessings.
Chu Zicheng felt a little emotional for a moment: "Unknowingly, it has been three years since I came to the Demon Realm. These three years have been spent in Gaoling City. I have seen all the high and low buildings in the city. I almost forgot what my hometown looks like!"
When he was a child in Ji Country, he secretly accepted the training and assessment of Jingshi Tai. In the past few years, he sometimes couldn't tell who he was in the light and dark world of the demon world.
He calmed down and clinked glasses with Qiao Jingzong: "With your blessing, I will work hard for two more years before returning to this world. Brother Qiao will definitely be a high official of the Zhuang Kingdom by then, so don't forget me."
"What are you talking about? We have been on the battlefield together. It is a life-long friendship. Who can forget who?" Qiao Jingzong raised his voice and said, "Come! This time I won't get drunk and I won't come back!"
The two of them talked, laughed, and made noises. They talked about some stupid things, looked forward to the future, drank for a while, then patted each other on the shoulders and left drunkenly.
It was such a peaceful day in Gaoling City.
These are two ordinary human warriors.
In front of the wine shop's flag wave, two heroes who had fought against the monsters on the battlefield were walking on each side, scattered at both ends of the long street. One walked slowly, and the other staggered.
But after turning his back, Qiao Jingzong's eyes became very cold and Chu Zicheng's eyes were frighteningly bright.
Today is the seventh day of drilling into the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Jiang Wang gradually felt that something was not good about the situation in the mountain, and that something was getting more and more wrong.
Since the past few days, there have been many organized demon soldiers among the demon clan that entered the mountain. They swept across in groups, cutting down trees in patches, killing evil beasts, and cleaning up the miasma.
Did something happen over there in Frostwind Valley? - Jiang Wang thought in hindsight at this time.
It must be mentioned that the language of the Monster Clan is really difficult to learn. Its level of difficulty is comparable to that of cutting through the sea with a sword. The Monster Clan has so many ethnic groups and species that there are literally thousands of categories.
Although they obviously have a unified language, the innate influence brought by their respective species cannot be eliminated at all. For example, the little demons of the Yu tribe generally have a sharp voice, while the pig demons always speak in strange ways.
Accent always makes their language more or less deformed.
There is no problem for those little monsters to communicate on their own, but for a studious person who has learned the monster language from scratch, it is too much torture. He has met so many little monsters these days, and none of them have the same accent! As a result, he
Jiang is a smart and studious person. After studying hard for so many days, he still can't get started. He can only barely understand a few simple phrases.
for example
"Trash", "Go to hell", "Kill you", "Get away".
Learning any language starts with mastering its swear words - Jiang Jue believes that this can be regarded as a great discovery in linguistics. However, the language is not yet fully understood, and it does not affect Jiang Wang's ability to make his own decisions about the current situation.
judge.
If the little monsters who entered the mountain earlier were more likely to be free and performing some kind of mission - he was already 90% sure that the targets of these little monsters were probably the weird bugs in the mountain.
And these demon soldiers who have recently entered the mountain are obviously cleaning up the environment, eliminating hidden dangers, expelling idle demons, and collecting war materials - this flow...
As a distinguished military lord who has been on the battlefield for many years, Shui's set of war preparations is extremely familiar to him. As a distinguished military lord who has experienced many battlefields, he is extremely familiar with Shui's set of war preparations.
His sense of war has been awakened.
Those little demons who were not soldiers were driven further into the mountains and forests. This just showed that in this area that included Frostwind Valley, a war was about to break out!
And it is definitely not the previous model of small groups of elites fighting each other in Frostwind Valley.
Who else can the demon clan fight against near this hundred thousand mountains? The answer is self-evident.
In other words, the silent period in Frostwind Valley may have ended early due to some accident! Just like it started early under the influence of that mysterious man
When making this judgment, Jiang Wang felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart.
He knew that if a race war really breaks out in this area, it must have some kind of relationship with him.
Is Qi Jun coming to save him?
Is it the will of the Emperor of Qi?
Or even a big move in the entire civilization basin?
At this moment, he does not know the specific situation, nor can he capture and kill several demon soldiers to interrogate the intelligence, because the disappearance of army soldiers is the easiest to detect. Which army, which unit, which team is missing which soldier, at the latest
He would be discovered that night. It would be difficult for him to hide if he found out the truth later.
At this moment, his injuries are far from healed. The treatment these days has only solved some superficial injuries - for a Shenlin monk who is very difficult to get injured, any wound requires the consumption of many precious medicines to heal.
, the wound medicine he brought with him should be used for this. And based on the injuries he has suffered now, if he wants to recover as soon as possible, he needs to lie down in the Taiyuan Hospital and use specialized techniques and professional medical techniques to deal with it.
, you have to ask an imperial doctor to order a real person like that to perform acupuncture.
There are so many conditions that are not met at the moment.
But he still made a bold decision
He decided to sneak back to the vicinity of Frostwind Valley, take a look at the situation there with his own eyes, and look for opportunities to steal back to the Civilized Basin!
