Qin Shaoyou looked calm on the surface, but he kept this name in his heart.
Qin Shaoyou had heard of this Dongchuan Marquis. He had been leading troops here in Yizhou. He not only suppressed the rebels who rebelled, but was also responsible for intimidating several big chieftains in Yizhou and guarding against the barbarians in Qingtang.
As for the Crown Prince Dongchuan, Qin Shaoyou didn't know much about it. He only heard Sun Xianzong mention it a few times, saying that although this man was born into a noble family, he was not a playboy. He had followed his fathers in the army since he was a child and learned how to lead troops in war.
He has made great achievements in battle at a young age, and he also has the cultivation of a fifth-grade martial artist.
And the noble person who can ask Prince Dongchuan to help with the message must be of a high level.
If this noble man is really related to the mysterious monk, and he instructed the mysterious monk to set a trap, then what exactly did Liu Shuyuan, the patrol censor, find out in Yizhou?
Is the mysterious nobleman planning to rebel?
Or has he done something unjust?
What is the relationship between Prince Dongchuan, who helped spread the message, and this mysterious nobleman?
New questions emerged in Qin Shaoyou's mind, but he did not speak out these questions for fear that asking too many questions would arouse Zuo Qianhu's suspicion.
He said goodbye: "Thank you, Lord Qianhu, for telling me. I will resign first because of my humble position."
Zuo Qianhu said 'hmm', and after Qin Shaoyou exited the hall and walked away, he shook his head and sighed: "Is it really important to the nobles? I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as you think..."
He stood up and walked to a nearby bookcase covered with runes, activated the runes with his blood energy, opened the cabinet door after passing the verification, and took out a confidential case file from inside.
I opened it and flipped through a few pages. The content above was exactly the investigation report he sent to the scene after the Luocheng Town Monster Division was wiped out outside Tai'an Town on the night of the third day of March.
The report clearly stated that there were two battlefields outside Tai'an Town that night.
One place is the battlefield where the entire army of the Yaosi in Luocheng Town was wiped out.
Another place is quite strange, with traces of the battle artificially erased, as if someone didn't want this battlefield to be discovered.
If it weren't for this confidant sent by Zuo Qianhu, who was the best at finding traces and surveying the scene, I might not have discovered it.
"On the night of the third day of March, there were two battles outside Tai'an Town. One led to the annihilation of the Luocheng Town Demon Division. Who was fighting whom in the other one? That night, the former Luocheng Town Demon Division
Why did the 100-household official of the company suddenly take people to the outside of Tai'an Town? Who asked him to go? What happened to him? Why didn't the reasons for this action be recorded and filed? Was it too late? Or was there something wrong?
Any other ulterior secrets?”
It turned out that Zuo Qianhu had always been brooding over the annihilation of the Yaosi army in Luocheng Town, and had been sending people to investigate secretly.
But the more he investigated, the more strange he felt about this matter.
When Prince Dongchuan passed the message, he also asked about the identity of the nobleman, but Prince Dongchuan did not tell him.
After flipping through a few pages of the case file, Zuo Qianhu raised his eyebrows and came up with a guess: "Qin Shaoyou asked about the noble man. Is it true that he wants to repay the kindness of a drop of water with a spring as he said, or does he have something?
Found it and plan to conduct further investigation?"
If it were before, Zuo Qianhu might not have such doubts.
But not long ago, Xue Qingshan praised Qin Shaoyou in front of him for his "sharp intuition, good at finding clues and reasoning about the case."
So Zuo Qianhu felt that this possibility was not impossible.
"But this kid is very cunning, and his words are so slippery that it's impossible to guess what he's really thinking. Anyway, let's take a look first. If this kid can really find some clues, I will protect him no matter what.
Help him investigate this case to the end! The hundreds of lives of our Demon Suppression Department must not be lost in an unclear manner!"
A sharp light flashed in Zuo Qianhu's eyes, and murderous aura rolled out of his body, causing the temperature inside and outside Yizhou Town Demon Division to drop several degrees in an instant.
Many night watchmen stuck their heads out in surprise.
They first looked at the sky where the sun was shining brightly, and then they looked at Zuo Chito's office, and they all muttered in their hearts: "Which unlucky guy made Chito-sama angry?"
Qin Shaoyou also noticed this murderous intention and was equally surprised.
He did not think that Zuo Qianhu's murderous intent was caused by him. Although Zuo Qianhu was stern in the hall just now, he could feel that Zuo Qianhu's senses and attitude towards him were not bad.
"Is there some new case that made Zuo Qianhu angry?" Qin Shaoyou guessed in his heart.
If Zuo Qianhu could be made so angry, then the case would definitely not be simple.
Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Shaoyou suddenly heard someone calling him, with a very enthusiastic tone.
"General Qin, are you out? How about it? Have you met Mr. Qianhu?"
Qin Shaoyou turned around and saw that it was Ye Zhiqiu who greeted him.
But at this moment, Ye Zhiqiu's nose was red, as if he had collided somewhere. And judging from his appearance, he must have been waiting here for a long time.
"Master Ye..."
Qin Shaoyou raised his hands in salute, but was interrupted by Ye Zhiqiu waving his hand.
"What do you call me, sir? I'm too young. I'm not a few years older than you. Just call me Brother Ye."
Qin Shaoyou followed the good advice and nodded: "Brother Ye."
He guessed that Ye Zhiqiu became so enthusiastic because he was most likely punished by the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch.
Sure enough, after Ye Zhiqiu got closer, he sighed: "Brother Qin, I didn't expect you to be really proficient in the art of physiognomy. You are my brother and I can't see Taishan!"
"What, Brother Ye, are you unlucky?" Qin Shaoyou asked, and at the same time glanced at the main hall where the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch was enshrined, and thought to himself that the Patriarch's punishment came so quickly, and he did not leave any revenge overnight.
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said: "Yes, look at my nose, I just had bad luck and fell down. Not to mention our level of cultivation, how could we trip ourselves while walking. Just talking about this nose, although there is no
I saw blood, but it was red, swollen and painful, and all the spells and ointments didn't work."
Qin Shaoyou held back his laughter.
Ye Zhiqiu then asked: "Brother Qin, since you can see that my Yintang is dark and unlucky, is there any way to solve it?"
"Have you gone to offer incense to the statue of the Patriarch?" Qin Shaoyou asked.
"Up."
When it came to offering incense, Ye Zhiqiu's face became even more ugly and he almost cried.
"As soon as I had bad luck, I went to burn incense on the statue of my ancestor, praying for his blessing and resolving the bad luck. As a result..."
"Didn't the Patriarch's statue accept your incense?"
"right!"
Ye Zhiqiu raised his hand and slapped his thigh. He grimaced in pain because he used too much force.
"I burned several incense sticks, but the Patriarch's statue refused to accept my incense...Brother Qin, do you think my bad luck is so serious that even the Patriarch can't deal with it?"
Your bad luck is the punishment given to you by the ancestor. How could he accept your incense before he calms down?
Qin Shaoyou had a hard time holding back his laughter.
Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu was a pretty good person, he took out the small earthen pot containing the demon blood from his robe, and pointed out: "You take this to the main hall and enshrine it in front of the statue of the ancestor, and then put it on the pillar for the old man.
If it smells good, you’ll be fine.”
"Ah? This...is this really possible?"
Ye Zhiqiu was hesitant, fearing that his bad luck would not be resolved and he would offend the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch.
Qin Shaoyou patted him on the shoulder: "Believe me, it will definitely work. This is what our ancestors like."
"Then try it."
Ye Zhiqiu gritted his teeth and carried the small earthen jar containing the demon blood into the main hall. He placed it on the altar table beside the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, then lit three incense sticks and offered the incense respectfully.
The statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch gave Qin Shaoyou face and accepted the incense from Ye Zhiqiu.
However, Qin Shaoyou also heard a very subtle hum at the same time, coming from the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch.
"This Patriarch statue is quite arrogant, but the Patriarch statue of Zhouzhen Yaosi can actually make sounds, which is much more advanced than the one we have..." Qin Shaoyou thought.
Ye Zhiqiu saw the incense being collected by the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, and shouted excitedly: "Collect it, collect it, collect it, Grandmaster has collected my incense... Brother Qin, what should I do next?"
"There is nothing you need to do. Grandmaster forgives me... Ahem, Grandmaster will bless you and help you resolve your bad luck."
When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he quickly put a healing spell on his nose.
This time the healing spell took effect, greatly reducing the redness, swelling and pain in his nose, which also surprised him.
"The bad luck has really been resolved. Brother Qin, thank you so much. Don't leave in a hurry. I'll treat you to a drink when I leave."
Ye Zhiqiu pulled Qin Shaoyou enthusiastically and walked to the ward where he was on duty.
Qin Shaoyou already had an appointment with An Mutong today, so he said, "I have something to do today, let's do it another day."
"another day?"
Ye Zhiqiu's expression suddenly changed, he quickly retracted his hand, and took two steps back to distance himself from Qin Shaoyou.
Qin Shaoyou looked confused, and when he was about to ask what was wrong, he heard Ye Zhiqiu say: "Brother Qin, I am a man, so I don't like this..."
Damn it!
Qin Shaoyou was shocked.
Does Ye Zhiqiu have a problem with his understanding?
He gritted his teeth and said, "What I'm talking about is drinking another day. Another day means another day!"
"this……"
Ye Zhiqiu was embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Okay, brother Qin, please do your business first. When you are free, I will treat you to a drink, hahaha."
He shouted Haha and ran away in a hurry.
Qin Shaoyou shook his head, bowed to the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, turned and walked out of the hall, and left the Yizhou Demon Demon Division.
Not long after Qin Shaoyou left, Ye Zhiqiu came to the hall again, holding a large basin in his arms, which was full of demon blood.
He walked straight to the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, placed the big basin on the altar table, and muttered:
"Master Patriarch, I heard that you are so good at this, so I went to get a large basin of demon blood for you."
Looking up again, Ye Zhiqiu saw a hint of relief and satisfaction in the eyes of the statue of the founder of Jiutiandang Demon.
"Brother Qin didn't lie to me. Grandmaster really likes to eat this stuff."
Ye Zhiqiu was overjoyed, imagining that after bribing the patriarch, he would receive many rewards and blessings.
"Master Patriarch, please eat slowly. I will serve it to you after you finish..."
Ye Zhiqiu prayed a few words and turned to leave.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a "clang" sound, and the big basin on the table was overturned to the ground by an invisible force, and demon blood also flowed all over the floor.
"What's happening here?"
Ye Zhiqiu was confused.
"Don't you always like this? Why did you expose it?"
He raised his head and looked at the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch. There was no relief or satisfaction in his eyes, but only anger.
Although the Patriarch Statue cannot speak, Ye Zhiqiu read the question from the Patriarch Statue from the look in his eyes: "Are you going to use this to test the statue?"
Ye Zhiqiu became more and more confused.
Isn’t it all demon blood? Why do you always enjoy it when Brother Qin gives it to you, but why do you always make trouble when I give it to you?
It can't be because brother Qin is handsomer than me, right?
