Beijing, the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division.
Most of the night watchmen here have been sent out, leaving only a few people to guard the house.
A group of people from the editorial office suddenly broke in, clamoring to see Qin Qiaoer and Qin Qianhu.
"Qin Qianhu is not here."
A Qianhu official who stayed behind didn't know what these guys were doing with Qin Qiaoer, so he could only stop them and tell them the truth.
"Not here?" After hearing this, the eunuch leading the team raised his eyebrows and asked sharply: "Do you know where she went?"
Official Qianhu didn't know where Qin Qiaoer had gone, but he still helped cover it up.
"They should have gone out on patrol. As you know, a lot of things happened in the capital tonight. Except for a few people from our Demon Suppression Department who stayed at the Yamen, the rest of them all left to prevent evil spirits from taking advantage of the chaos.
thing."
The eunuch of the editing factory was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you really patrolling? Where are you patrolling?"
The Qianhu official who stayed behind finally realized that something was wrong at this moment, his face darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "Where to patrol, what does it have to do with your editing factory? Please tell me first, who is there for us Qin Qianhu?
What's the matter?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure appearing at the yamen gate.
After seeing clearly the appearance of the person coming, Qianhu Official hurriedly greeted him: "Qin Qianhu, you came back just in time. There is a group of people from the editing factory here, saying they are looking for you."
The person outside the Yamen was none other than Qin Qiaoer, who rushed back in time.
The eunuch in the editorial office heard the movement behind him and turned around, just in time to see Qin Qiaoer.
Qin Qiaoer also saw them and thought that his brother had indeed caught them by surprise.
But she put on a surprised expression on her face and frowned: "People from the editing factory? What do you want from me?"
The eunuch of the editorial office did not answer, but asked: "Qin Qianhu, where did you go just now?"
"Of course I went on patrol."
"Is there any witness?"
"I am the witness."
A voice came from the street behind Qin Qiaoer.
Immediately afterwards, the figures of Zuo Zixiong and Cen Biqing appeared there.
"After the cloud-penetrating arrows sounded in the imperial city, I and Qin Qianhu patrolled the capital to suppress the troublemaking monsters. These are the monsters and Black Lotus Sect members we killed who wanted to take advantage of the chaos."
While speaking, Zuo Zixiong waved his hand and threw several human and animal heads in front of everyone in the editing factory.
Then he asked with a gloomy face: "But you people from the editing factory, instead of patrolling the city to suppress evil spirits, came to our Demon Suppression Division to question Qin Qianhu's whereabouts. What are your intentions?"
Without waiting for a reply from the eunuch of the editorial office, Cen Biqing struck again.
"Is it possible that you want to take advantage of the chaos to come here and bully Qin Qianhu? To repay Xiao Qin Qianhu for beating up one of your people and hurting your face?"
Upon hearing this, the faces of those left behind in the Demon Suppression Division all changed, and they all gathered around the group of people working in the editing factory.
Seeing this, the eunuch of the editing factory shouted with anger: "What do you want to do? I'm warning you, don't mess around..."
"You are the ones causing trouble!"
Zuo Zixiong snorted coldly and scolded:
"There is chaos in the capital. You editors don't want to relieve the king's worries or protect the people, but you come to our Demon Suppression Department to take revenge...
That’s right, I heard that your governor, Wang Jinzhong, betrayed his master and treason? Are you people his accomplices who want to provoke a fight between our Demon Suppression Department and the Editorial Factory in order to profit from it?"
The group of people who came from the editorial office all changed their expressions after hearing what Zuo Zixiong said.
Wang Jinzhong's rebellion made them very passive, and their former arrogance was long gone.
The label Zuo Zixiong slapped on them at this moment made them even more uncomfortable.
But they didn't dare to fall out.
Seeing the night watchmen surrounding them with ill-intentions, they could only laugh and apologize: "We were just ordered to come here to inquire about the situation. We have no other intentions. Mr. Zuo said something serious... Brothers, thank you for your hard work. We won't disturb you. Let's take our leave first. Take our leave.
.”
After saying that, this group of editors did not dare to stay in the Demon Suppression Department for a long time, and ran away in a panic amidst the shouts and ridicules of the night watchmen.
After the group left, Zuo Zixiong winked at Qin Qiaoer and then strode towards his ward.
Qin Qiaoer hurriedly followed.
She understood the meaning of Zuo Zixiong's eyes, which told her to follow him and give a confession to avoid being asked about any flaws.
On the way, Qin Qiaoer glanced in the direction of Tianning Temple and said secretly: "I have dealt with the troubles here for the time being. I don't know what the situation is like over there. Did you rush back to Tianning Temple in time?"
At the same time, a group of people from the editing factory also broke into Tianning Temple.
Zhike Taoist had long been awakened by the noise outside. When he saw this team of people from the editing factory breaking in, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Before he could ask a question, the leading eunuch from the editing factory grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, asking, "Where is your female Celestial Master?"
Taoist Zhike hurriedly replied: "I am in seclusion in the Lingguan Palace. Sirs, what happened?"
"Retreat?"
The eunuch sneered, but he didn't believe it: "There is a commotion outside, but she is still in the mood to retreat? Is she really in retreat, or is she sneaking out in the name of retreat?"
Zhike Taoist was startled: "What do you mean, sir?"
"Whatever it means has nothing to do with you. Take us to Lingguan Palace immediately to see if the female heavenly master is in retreat."
The eunuch released his hold on Taoist Zhike's hand, pulled out the saber from the waist beside him, and put it on Taoist Zhike's neck.
"Don't play tricks with us, or I'll chop you into pieces!"
Taoist Zhike was frightened and could only follow the instructions and lead the group of people from the editing factory to the Lingguan Hall.
The palace door was closed tightly, and there was silence inside.
The eunuch who led the team waved his hand, and immediately the stall leader led Fan Zi and strode forward and kicked open the palace door.
Then they saw Qin Buruo sitting in front of the Lingguan statue.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
After confirming that the person in the palace was indeed Qin Buruo, the eunuch leading the team coughed lightly, cupped his hands and said, "You've disturbed the Tianshi's retreat. We'll leave now."
But Qin Buruo didn't just let them go.
"It's a small matter to interrupt my retreat, but it's a big deal to disrespect my ancestor. You can leave if you want, but I need to teach you a lesson and learn to be polite."
Following Qin Buruo's words, a thundercloud appeared above the heads of everyone in the editing factory, making their hair stand on end.
The people in the editorial office were shocked, but before they could ask for mercy, thunder and lightning suddenly fell.
Qin Buruo controlled his strength and only shocked the group of people in the editing factory to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers, but did not harm their lives, so as not to cause trouble to Tianning Temple.
At the same time, Qin Buruo was secretly thinking that he was in danger.
She just rushed back to Tianning Temple.
If we were delayed a little on the way and came back a little later, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't have been so easy to handle.
It is even less possible to use the reason of "disrespect for the ancestor" to teach these minions of Emperor Jianwu a lesson.
