Chapter 168: Inside the Trap (Part 1) Seeking the Moon
Song Zheng withdrew from the chaotic void, asked the two ancestors to seal the door, then took out the homophonic bone talisman and sent an order to Hu Mingtang: "Bring the few captains who were guarding this place, right away!"
Hu Mingtang had other tasks and did not follow Song Zheng to Yuzhou. He received Master Song's order in the middle of the night. Hu Mingtang was shocked. Moreover, Master Song had a harsh tone. He did not dare to neglect and immediately led his people to rush there as quickly as possible.
Black Python Ridge.
Regardless of whether Song Zheng will step down as the inspector of the five states, at least he is still in his position now.
In less than half an hour, he came to the Black Python Ridge under the coercion of Tonghaiwei's ancestor.
Song Zheng saw several school captains, the same ones who were driven out by Ximen Hong in embarrassment when they came to Black Python Ridge a few days ago.
Song Zheng glanced over, with a hint of probing and questioning, how powerful is his Yin Shen? Several captains who were only in the Maihe realm suddenly felt that a sacred mountain was pressing on their heads, and their whole bodies went limp involuntarily, and they knelt down.
.
Hu Mingtang stepped forward to greet him and asked, "Sir, what clues have you found?"
Song Zheng asked: "Who discovered this place first?"
Hu Mingtang pointed to the kneeling person and said, "It's Zhuang Teng, Xiaoqi of Wei Zhong."
Song Zheng asked him: "How did you find out?"
Zhuang Teng kowtowed: "After your Excellency issued the order, we, the captains and Xiaoqi, patrolled the entire state and discovered this place unintentionally. At that time, my subordinates led several of their brothers to start from the Tianjing Peak ten miles away as the center.
Search around.
It was my commander Wu Yuan who first discovered this place. As soon as we saw the strong movement in the void, we immediately reported it to Qianhu, who asked us to stay where we are and wait for your decision."
Everyone immediately focused their attention on Wu Yuan, who was kneeling beside him. Wu Yuan was trembling all over, vaguely aware that he was in trouble. He kowtowed repeatedly: "Sir, this subordinate really discovered this place accidentally. There is absolutely no way.
False words.”
Song Zheng didn't even look at Wu Yuan. He just stared at Zhuang Teng and said, "Then it's your decision to patrol Tianying Mountain."
Zhuang Teng hesitated for a moment, then kowtowed and said, "Yes."
"You set up a trap here, and then take your captain to patrol Tianying Mountain and stop at Tianjing Peak. Your captain will definitely search the Black Python Ridge within ten miles."
Zhuang Teng immediately cried out: "Sir, my subordinate is a Long Yiwei and is loyal to you. How could you do such a thing?"
Song Zheng sighed: "Although I don't know what method you used to weaken the void barrier here, nor do I know what method you used to attract the Chaos Demon, but what you don't know is that you destroyed the void
Barrier, there will be subtle void energy remaining on your body, only three or four days have passed, and these void energy has not completely dissipated, I can see it from you!"
Zhuang Teng's expression changed, and Hu Mingtang gritted his teeth and shouted: "Take it!"
The captain behind him immediately rushed out, suppressed Zhuang Teng who was about to fly into the air, and immediately put on the magic weapon shackles.
In the chaotic void, when Song Zheng was checking the scratch marks with the True Thunder of Heaven, he suddenly thought: The man behind the scenes has laid this trap, and the lethality of the trap lies in the Chaos Demon. No one can control the Chaos Demon, which means that once this trap is laid,
The Chaos Demon will rush out within three days at most. How can they guarantee that Song Zheng will arrive here within three days?
If Tonghaiwei happened to not discover this place, wouldn't it be a waste of all his efforts?
There is only one possibility. They have a way to let Tonghaiwei discover this place in time. Then the Tonghaiwei Colonel who first discovered this place is very suspicious.
He asked Hu Mingtang to bring the person over, and after taking a photo with the Void God, he saw the subtle traces of spatial energy remaining on Zhuang Teng's body.
However, Zhuang Teng still refused to give up and wanted to shift his target to his unlucky subordinate Wu Yuan. If it were not for Song Zheng, he might have succeeded. After all, it was indeed Wu Yuan who discovered this place. At that time, except for Zhuang Teng, the other campuses
Lieutenant can also testify.
It's a pity that he met Song Zheng.
Seeing Zhuang Teng being captured, Song Zheng said calmly: "Confess."
Zhuang Teng looked extremely stubborn at this time, and kept his mouth tightly closed without saying a word. Hu Mingtang cursed angrily: "Have I, Tonghaiwei, ever treated you badly? I did such a heartbreaking thing. If you don't take it seriously, you will definitely
Do you want to see the various methods of this guard?"
Zhuang Teng glanced at him and said: "Tonghaiwei has never treated me badly, but I have a grudge against Song Zheng!"
Song Zheng was surprised, he had never seen Zhuang Teng before.
Zhuang Teng said: "I was born in Tiying, the capital."
Song Zheng understood: "Liu Zhen."
"Eleven years ago, the Hunhe River flooded, and both my parents died in the flood. I took my six-year-old sister with me and fled to the capital along with hundreds of thousands of refugees.
Everyone said that if we go to the capital, the court will definitely take care of us. What’s funny is that when we get to the capital two hundred miles away, there is a large army blocking us, and the refugees are not allowed to approach the capital again!
I took my sister with me and tried to get past the defense line of the army with my little cleverness, but I was caught at the last moment. The sergeants looked at us as brothers and sisters and let us go.
But after entering the capital, my sister and I could only beg. She was young and got seriously ill on the road. I had no money to treat her, so I could only hold her and sit in front of the medicine shop, relying on the kindness of the medicine shop shopkeeper to give out a bowl of medicine soup every day.
Hanging for one's life!
If Mr. Liu hadn't seen us passing by and recruited me into the Longyi Guard, my sister would not have survived that winter.
Mr. Liu must have saved many people like me, so he doesn’t remember me at all, but I will not forget him. A righteous man should die in repayment for such a great kindness!"
He spoke very calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him about his tragic past. Only in the last sentence, he suddenly revealed his firm will.
Song Zheng sighed secretly, he could imagine the scene at that time. When Liu Zhen saw the beggar, he would naturally think of himself back then, so he extended a helping hand without caring about anything in return.
He suppressed all the emotions in his heart. In any case, Zhuang Teng was a repeat offender. He had extenuating circumstances but his crime was unforgivable!
"How did you thin the void and attract the Chaos Demon? You are just a small flag, you don't have this ability."
Zhuang Teng sneered and glanced at him contemptuously: "You think I will tell you?"
Song Zheng sighed and asked, "You think I can't find out?"
Zhuang Teng stopped talking.
…
After dawn, Hu Mingtang had already found out.
Zhuang Teng's interpersonal relationship is very simple. He only has one younger sister, who is his precious child. When he was in Tiying in the capital, he spent a lot of effort to find a good family for his sister. The other party was the son of a certain prince's outer housekeeper.
.
He was transferred to Tonghaiwei and often exchanged letters with his sister.
Five days ago, a "relative" came from the capital and has been staying at Zhuang Teng's house.
Zhuang Teng happened to be on duty last night. He was called away by Hu Mingtang directly in the Yamen without having time to deliver the news to his family. When Hu Mingtang took people there, the "relative" was still sleeping, so he was caught in one fell swoop.
Good luck this time.
After an interrogation, the confession was placed in front of Song Zheng.
"The people in Prince Xiyong's Mansion learned that the Lord should pay attention to the unusual movements in the void, so they reported it to the superiors. The next day, they got a treasure sent from the capital through a formation, a set of 'empty burning talismans', three million yuan
Jade and a jade plaque."
Song Zheng nodded. The Burning Sky Talisman can be used to thin the void. Compared with the Great Void Hammer, it works slowly and is more suitable for setting up such traps.
Three million yuan of jade is the consumption of the Burning Sky Talisman.
"What is the purpose of the jade tablet?"
"They didn't know either. They just followed the instructions from above and sent the jade token into the chaotic void in advance."
Song Zheng touched his chin and guessed that the jade tablet was the key to attracting the Chaos Demon.
But this matter is still a bit unreasonable: there was no conflict between himself and King Xiyong's interest group before going to Yuzhou. Why did King Xiyong send people to Fuzhou in advance to deliberately plot against him?
Judging from the time, the people from the palace first came to Zhuang Teng, and then learned that they were looking for unusual movements in the void. They felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they reported the trap and set it up.
"Is it also because of Liu Zhen?" He murmured to himself and contacted Xiao Zhen privately. Xiao Zhen denied his guess: "Impossible, King Xi Yong has nothing to do with us.
He is deeply trusted by the emperor and is an important member of the imperial party in the capital. He has always had a cold relationship with us and the cabinet ministers. "
Song Zheng couldn't guess, and asked again: "Has the result of that spiritual inscription been achieved?"
"I was about to tell you," Xiao Zhen said: "That was the mark of Gao Yi, the famous genius 'King Sun Yi' three hundred years ago. He was the only one in the world who knew how to use this spiritual symbol. He was born that year and was good at space.
Tian Tiao became famous for traveling through the void to hunt the Chaos Demon.
But his rise was rapid, and his disappearance was also sudden. In just ten years, he disappeared from the human world. Some legends say that he died at the mouth of the powerful Chaos Demon King. Others say that he suddenly had enlightenment during the hunt.
Give up the false reputation and go into seclusion to cultivate."
Song Zheng said: "So, that jade token is Gao Yi's thing. Use the jade token with Gao Yi's aura to attract the Chaos Demon who was chased by Gao Yi."
"The chaotic void is vast and boundless. How can a jade token attract the demon of chaos who doesn't know where it is? I'm afraid this jade token is not simple either." Xiao Zhen said.
"Well, I will focus on investigating this jade plaque."
Xiao Zhen added: "King Xiyong and Princess Dongyang are going to the palace today to advise His Majesty. I don't know how many times I can stop them. You should think of a way soon."
"Yes." Song Zheng agreed, but he also found it difficult: he was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, what could he do?
…
Han Jiujiang simply hired a hundred people to queue up and spend a whole day to fulfill Shi Zhonghe's conditions.
