Just when the second prince subdued the assassin, Lu Cheng and Tang Ke had already entered the depths of Zifang County.

Having walked so far along the official road, we still haven't seen the camp site of Zhongzhou Muzifang Banner. This is obviously very abnormal.

On both sides of the official road, the disciples of Zhongzhoumu usually set up a camp every ten miles to deal with emergencies on the official road.

However, the two of them had already ridden for more than thirty miles without even seeing a camping spot.

Unreasonable, this is very unreasonable.

"Is it possible that all the soldiers of Zifangqi are dead?"

Tang Ke, who comes from one of the four great families of Zhongzhou Mu, knows a lot about the situation of Zhongzhou Mu, and it is extremely rare for officials to ignore the situation.

"Then you are talking nonsense. If all the soldiers of Zifang Banner were dead, Yunjing would have been in chaos."

"I guess I accepted the unified order from a certain commander here to do other things."

"Only in this way, the layout of the inn will not be discovered by others."

Tang Ke then thought about it, if this is really the case, then Zifangqi must have made some big moves recently.

In this case, if you go to the military camp and ask, you will know that the military camp in Zifang Banner is not far away. You can see it within a few steps of burning incense.

Zhongzhou Muzifang Banner has one major general, two partial generals and one adjutant.

The Major General of Zifang Banner is named He Luo. He is over fifty years old. He has been in Zifang Banner for nearly ten years.

If there really was a unified order for the Zifang Banner, it should have been notified to Yunjing three days ago.

However, three days ago, neither Zhongshu Province nor Zhongzhou Mu received a unified order regarding the Zifang flag.

This is very interesting. If it was not a unified order, why did these disciple soldiers not set up camp on the official road?

Head Tang Er has to go over and ask clearly!

There were quite a few guards standing guard near the Zifang Banner military camp. When they saw Tang Ke and Lao Lu coming on horseback, they signaled them from a distance to dismount and undergo inspection.

"Inspector of the East China Sea?"

After seeing Tang Ke's token, the guards on guard were a little confused.

"You two adults don't know that General He has a little baby girl in his family recently, and he is not in the army for the time being."

"Nowadays, major military affairs are basically due to the responsibility of the generals. Recently, livestock have been released from the slaughter, and the soldiers are busy killing pigs."

The guard on guard spoke standard Chinese with a Western Desert accent. Although it was weird, the two of them understood it.

"Where is this general? I have something important to ask."

"My lord, go inside. The tent at the front is General Yu's camp."

Lu Cheng and Tang Ke dismounted, handed the horses to the soldiers on guard, and then walked into the military camp.

This partial general's surname is Yu, which can't help but remind people of some unpleasant things.

Could this partial general be a relative of that old bastard Yu Qiu from Luxian Palace?

If so, he, Master Lu, has really memorized it.

He shouldn't have left in such a hurry. He was so eager to track down Balro's traces that he didn't even follow his own rules.

Before leaving Unkyo, you should take a gamble first.

Once the rule of going to the casino to try your luck before preparing for the battle was broken, Lu Cheng felt that something would definitely go wrong this time.

Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the inn in Zifang County, they encountered a murder.

This trip will definitely not go smoothly.

After entering the camp, the two met the partial general and found that not all partial generals were as ignorant as Zhang Laosi.

This is located in Pianjunjun, and he is actually studying.

"You two great masters are here, but you are welcome from afar."

After verifying the identities of Lu Cheng and Tang Ke, General Yu Pian saluted them both.

Speaking of which, whether it was Tang Ke or Lu Cheng, their official positions were above this general, so he naturally had to be treated well.

"When we came to Zifang County, a murder occurred at a post station on the official road."

Tang Ke explained the murder at the inn to the general in this way, and the general's face shuddered.

This kind of murder has not happened for many years, and someone actually dared to massacre Guandao Station.

It can be said that he is not arrogant.

"And, I

On the way from Yunjing to Zifang County, we didn't see any soldiers stationed there. Is there any unified order?"

Faced with Tang Ke's question, General Yu Pian categorically denied it.

"The current Zifang Banner does not have any other orders except that Adjutant Zhang led a group of soldiers to assist the rancher in killing pigs."

"General He is not here, and our generals and adjutants have no right to make unified orders."

"Where is the adjutant?"

"In Rongxing Ranch, it's not very far from the second prince's hunting ground."

Lu Cheng hurriedly walked to the map of Zifang County and looked for the location of Rongxing Ranch on the map.

According to the second prince, the place where Barro was hiding was not far from his hunting ground, and the Rongxing Ranch was not far from the place where Barro was hiding.

This adjutant brought a group of soldiers over to help kill the pig? According to Lu Cheng, this was a drunkard who was not interested in drinking.

"Master Tang Er, where do you think the disciple soldiers who were supposed to be standing guard on the official road were transferred?"

"If the adjutant wants to mobilize the soldiers on guard, if there is no unified order..."

"I can only pretend to give oral instructions."

After Tang Ke finished speaking, Lu Cheng hammered the map hard.

Lose your car to save your handsome man.

Lu Cheng thought wrong. When Tang Ke and Lu Chengcong entered the inn, they fell into the trap of Balro and the people behind him.

Water levels and food are things that interfere with their judgment.

Those people had obviously died there in the morning.

The person who plotted against them had long expected that Lu Cheng would think one more step, so he took the extra step.

It made Lu Cheng think that Barro was still in Zifang County, but in fact, Barro had already left here long ago.

Covering Barro's withdrawal from Zifang Banner and sacrificing an adjutant buried in Muzifang County in Zhongzhou is a worthwhile deal.

"The clue is broken, what should we do?"

"Meet the adjutant and see what information he can give us!"

"Two adults, I can go with you."

"I want to see who dares to pretend to preach orally after eating a bear's heart and a leopard."

General Yu Pian was also a little angry. This false oral message was a serious crime and would be punished by military law.

Just before the three of them left the camp, a herald hurried over.

"What are you so anxious about?"

"Adjutant Zhang hanged himself in Rongxing Ranch this morning."

After the herald finished speaking, the three of them took a deep breath.

This time, the clues were completely lost.

"What should we do next? There is nothing left in Zifang County worth our stay."

Facing Tang Ke's words, Lu Cheng was silent for a while.

"Despite this, I still want to go to Rongxing Ranch to have a look. I always feel that things can't be such a coincidence."

"Let's go, my lords, I'll go with you."

General Yu Pian sighed and walked out of the camp first.

Rongxing Ranch is one of the three largest ranches in Zifang County. It mainly raises large livestock such as pigs, cattle, and sheep. Whenever it is put out for slaughter, it requires a large number of manpower.

Therefore, this is a place where the disciples of Zhongzhou Mu often come, and they come here for no other reason than to help the rancher complete the slaughtering task.

A large number of pigs, cattle and sheep were sent to the slaughterhouse, which was blessed with magic circles and could be kept clean and hygienic.

After all, you can complete tasks better and faster when you work in a clean environment.

"Everyone is dead, so what else is there to see?"

It was already afternoon when Lu Cheng and Tang Ke arrived at Rongxing Ranch.

Looking at the scene where Adjutant Zhang hanged himself, Lu Cheng was a little silent.

This adjutant still left nothing behind, no suicide note, no notes, no struggle.

Go to death voluntarily without any hesitation.

"Don't you need the Qinglong soul-suppressing bell to ask about his soul?"

"It's useless. There isn't even a trace of his soul on his body."

"On his left hand is the same talisman as that of the eunuch. Their souls have been transformed into handymen in the ghost world."

Tang Ke shook his head. Although becoming a handyman kid was not considered dead, it definitely was not considered alive.

After all, the ghost world is not a place for living people, and those

The handyman kid has no need to investigate at all.

The handyman kid transformed from a human being does not have the memory of the human world. In other words, during the transformation process, the memory of the human world will be completely erased.

This method is perfect for dealing with soul-forging practitioners like Lu Cheng.

His opponents seemed to know everything about Lu Cheng, but Lu Cheng knew very little about them.

"The sect, as expected, has hands and eyes that are open to the sky but not even a drop of water."

Lu Cheng sighed, while Tang Ke scratched his head.

"I don't think so."

"Why, has the wise and powerful Tang Er discovered anything?"

"Hey, it's not really a discovery."

Tang Ke sat next to Lu Cheng and said with a grin.

"Think about it, since we encountered these strange incidents, do the people who died for the sect have one thing in common?"

Lu Cheng tried hard to recall what Tang Ke said, but found nothing in common.

Alu from Yongzhou Prefecture, Jin Kui at the peak of his concentration.

The eunuch who threw himself into the river after killing Jiang Huaer, and this Adjutant Zhang.

"I couldn't find anything in common."

"Either you are not wise enough or powerful enough. At this critical moment, Tang Er still has to take action!"

"These people are all orphans!"

"What the hell do they have in common!"

When Lu Cheng heard Tang Ke's judgment, he almost punched him with his fist.

"After you listen to what I say, I can feel something very interesting. These people are either people with no family background, or people whose family members are all dead."

"This Adjutant Zhang has a family of three, a wife, a son and a daughter. They were originally a happy family."

"As a result, when he was hiking in the mountains, his wife and children all fell off the cliff and died, and he became a lonely man."

"Needless to say, the eunuch is naturally an orphan."

"If you think about Aru who committed suicide and the stupid big guy Jin Kui, do they both have some inner problems?"

"So, those who are martyred for the sect are all lonely people with problems in their hearts. I am not wrong."

Lu Cheng listened to Tang Ke's words and found out that he was right, but what does this have to do with their next actions?

Moreover, in this peaceful and prosperous age, who of those people with happy families and successful careers have no time to believe in religion?

That is to say, only those whose lives are unsatisfactory will become religious.

"So we can narrow the scope of the investigation. In the final analysis, the sect still has some flaws."

"for example?"

"Yuan family."

Tang Ke said with a smile, Lu Cheng felt that this damn bastard just wanted to watch the fun.

Not to mention that he can't touch the Yuan family now, even if he can touch the Yuan family, he can't touch the Yuan family without explicit instructions from the Zong family.

The Yuan family seems to be just an ordinary merchant family with no strong people, but what he has penetrated is every aspect of the empire.

Wherever there is money, you will basically have dealings with the Yuan family.

"Is it possible for me to tell you that the Yuan family cannot move, at least not yet."

"Lucheng, I find that you are smart all the time and confused the other time."

"Who asked you to touch him? If you disgust him, he will be finished!"

"Isn't playing rogue your strong point? You go to the Yuan family and act rogue and force them to reveal their flaws."

"Could it be that you can't do it?"

When Tang Ke said this, Lu Cheng suddenly felt that Tang Ke was not thinking of something, but simply wanted to trick him.

However, at this stage, there is no other good solution except this.

If it is possible to catch young people, there are traces to follow.

However, under the current situation, Qing Lao hopes that he will never run into Lu Cheng in this life, and it is basically impossible to catch him.

"Then go back home and meet in Yunjing, so that you can see what a scoundrel Lu Zhenren is."

"By the way, is General Yu Pian really a descendant of Luxian Palace?"

"You can pull him down. According to what you said, is it possible that Adjutant Li of Miyun Banner is still a descendant of the royal family?"

Lu Cheng glanced at Tang Ke angrily and walked out of the room.

"Hey! You scoundrel are you into a show?"
Chapter completed!
