As Qin Shaoyou walked through the palace of Prince Shu, he always felt that there were pairs of eyes hidden in the dark staring at him.
Through [Bright Eyes], Qin Shaoyou quickly determined that these pairs of eyes spying on him were hidden on the carved railings and painted pillars of the palace!
The carved animals and painted birds were all quietly looking at him and monitoring him with their eyes.
Originally, Qin Shaoyou planned to release the paper figures, paper birds, etc. that he had made out of yin paper after entering the Prince of Shu's palace, so that they could secretly explore the information in the Prince of Shu's palace.
But the current situation forced Qin Shaoyou to give up this plan.
There are so many pairs of eyes staring at him. Once the paper men, paper birds, etc. are released, they will be discovered immediately.
At that time, the intelligence was not found, but instead one of his abilities and a trump card was exposed, and he even alerted others because of it. It was really not worth the loss.
Although he did not use paper figures, paper horses, etc., Qin Shaoyou was not idle either. He activated all his talents such as [Bright Eyesight], [Listening] and [Wonderful Nose] to their maximum effect.
Relying on these talents, Qin Shaoyou not only discovered that there was something strange about the carved railings and painted buildings in the Prince of Shu's palace. They had either been cast by some kind of magic or had been transformed by some kind of supernatural object.
At the same time, he also learned about the defense and patrols in the palace during his journey, and even discovered many traps hidden in the dark, as well as the hidden sentinels.
"There are still capable people in the Prince of Shu's palace."
Seeing these arrangements, Qin Shaoyou sighed secretly in his heart.
At the same time, he was glad that during the past two days, he only patrolled outside the Shu Palace to monitor day and night, and did not rush in.
Otherwise, with the current strength of Mianyuan County's day and night patrols, even ghosts and ghosts may not be able to get out after entering the Shu Palace.
There is no doubt that they will be arrested by the masters in this house for research to see how they became ghosts and ghosts.
Qin Shaoyou remained calm and kept all the situations he observed in mind.
After preparing to go back, I recorded it and used it to deduce the defense situation of other places in the Shu Palace.
By mastering this information, when it comes time to take action against the King of Shu, we can reduce casualties and increase the success rate of capture and killing.
During this process, Yinli Shiren was not idle either. While leading the way, he took the initiative to chat with Qin Shaoyou.
This Yinlisheren is not only eloquent, but also has some skills in speaking. His words make people feel like a spring breeze, and they can't help but have a good impression of him.
However, it was his ability that made Qin Shaoyou secretly wary.
Qin Shaoyou's vigilance is not without purpose.
After a few words, the Yinlisheren called him brother-in-law, and then started talking to him inadvertently.
Qin Shaoyou, who was secretly on guard, was not stunned by his talk, and answered all his questions in a flawless manner.
"I heard that Brother Qin is working in Mianyuan County? I have a distant relative there. Not long ago, he asked someone to bring a letter over, saying that a drought broke out there. Is this true?
"
"Yes. I just went to Mianyuan County to take office at that time. To be honest, brother, the drought is a bit weird..." Mr. Qin came to this point and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "This drought has something to do with monsters!"
Yinli Sheren was also acting: "Ah? How will the drought be solved later?"
"At that time, we originally wanted to launch an investigation, but Mianyuan County had turned into a ghost cave and ghostland at that time. Even the county government office and the Yamen of the Demon Town were haunted by ghosts. As a last resort, we could only think about it first.
Methods to eradicate these demons and then investigate the drought. Guess what the result was? Within two days, we received an order from the Demon Division of Zhouzhen, saying that there was a demon in Shuanggui Village, and asked for reinforcements as soon as possible. Only after the results arrived
You know, there are zombies there, it’s the zombies that caused the drought in Mianyuan County!”
When we were dealing with the Corpse King in Shuanggui Village, many people from the Level 3 Demon Suppression Division Yamen were gone, and there were also local garrison troops arriving behind.
Qin Shaoyou now knows that the hundreds of officials stationed in the army are from the King of Shu.
And in the third-level Demon Suppression Department Yamen, it is impossible to say whether any of the night watchmen were bribed and infiltrated by people from the King of Shu's family.
Therefore, Qin Shaoyou could only make the worst guess, that is, people from the King of Shu's line knew that he had participated in the stalemate-eradicating operation in Shuanggui Village.
Under such circumstances, if he still said that he did not know the cause of the drought or what happened in Shuanggui Village, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, so he might as well take the initiative to speak out.
Of course, Qin Shaoyou mixed many lies into the truth, saying that he had received an order to rush for reinforcements and did not know the specific situation of Shuanggui Village.
Gu Ji
And these words were the result of Qin Shaoyou's discussion with Zhu Xiucai and others before coming, so it's hard to fault them.
Sure enough, after listening to Qin Shaoyou's words, the Yinlishe man did not become suspicious and just asked: "What kind of zombie is that, so powerful? What does it look like?"
"It is said that it is a zombie that is about to become a demon. As for what it looks like, we didn't see it, because when we arrived, the zombie had cast some evil spell and turned into a mountain of corpses and meat. It was very scary... eh
, why are you asking what the zombies look like?"
"Have I never seen a zombie before, are you curious..." Yinlisheren laughed, and then asked: "I heard that Zuo Qianhu and the academic officials rushed to Shuanggui Village at that time?"
Qin Shaoyou showed an expression of admiration: "It is indeed true. They killed the zombie as soon as they came. It was really amazing!"
"Did they tell you about the origin of that zombie?" Yinli Shiren suddenly asked.
Qin Shaoyou pretended to be stunned: "Where are zombies from? Aren't zombies all transformed from corpses? What's the origin?"
Yin Li She Ren said: "That's right. I just thought that the zombie can turn into a demon and cause drought. Is there anything special about it, so I asked."
Qin Shaoyou shook his head and said: "That's not clear. The subsequent investigation was taken over by people from the Yaosi Division of Zhouzhen. Even Shuanggui Village is not under the jurisdiction of our Mianyuan County. It is said that some special minerals were found there... I guess
That zombies can turn into monsters is also related to that special mineral."
Yinli Sheren didn't hear any problem in his words about the situation, nor did he see any signs of lying in his expression, so he believed what he said was true.
After chatting for a while, Yin Lishe suddenly said: "I heard that recently, Zuo Qianhu sent his very useful men Ye Zhiqiu and Cen Biqing to your place?"
Qin Shaoyou knew that the other party's probing was not over yet, so he sighed and pretended to be distressed:
"My brother is really well-informed. It is indeed true. I am still worried about it. Ye Zhiqiu is trying to test hundreds of households, and I am also trying to test hundreds of households. Moreover, as I am trying to test hundreds of households, my qualifications are not as good as Ye Zhiqiu's. Although it is
He is his deputy, but he is Zuo Qianhu’s favorite general after all, and as a result, many of my powers were taken away by him."
"It's okay, Zuo Qianhu doesn't know people, but our king values talents very much. Young talents like Brother Qin, who have been promoted to hundreds of households through merit, are the most valued by our king. Let me tell you, today
The king holds a banquet and entertains officials who are valued by the king and have received care from the king. Brother Qin, if you are invited to the banquet, it means that you have caught the eye of the king of my family. In the future, the king will definitely take more care of you. Then you can
You have to perform well and don’t let your Majesty down!"
The words of "Yin Li Sheren" are both serious and thoughtful, and there is something in them.
Qin Shaoyou was very excited and said with his hands raised: "It is my supreme honor to be valued by the king. I will do my best to repay the king!"
"good!"
Yin Lishe nodded with satisfaction.
However, what Yinli Sheren didn't know was that what Qin Shaoyou was thinking at this moment was: Don't worry, I will definitely kill the King of Shu to repay his respect!
At the same time, Qin Shaoyou also had doubts about the identity of the person who led the ceremony.
Although the Yin Li She Ren was a member of the palace's subordinate officials, he was a low-ranking official responsible for receiving guests, arranging rituals, etc.
How could such a low-ranking official know that the zombie under Shuanggui Village was the crown prince of Shu?
Or, he is a close associate of the King of Shu pretending to be a gift giver.
Either the King of Shu has a special way of controlling his subordinates, so that the people under him will not betray him.
No matter what it is, this King of Shu is quite scheming.
It seems that today’s banquet must be prepared with all possible energy.
However, judging from what Yin Lishe said inadvertently, the people of the King of Shu's lineage should not know that their crime of nurturing the Crown Prince of Shu to turn into a zombie has been grasped by the Demon Suppression Department.
They may have some suspicions, but they are not sure yet.
It seems that Zuo Qianhu's confidentiality measures are quite good, and it also shows that Zuo Qianhu's confidants have not been bribed by people from the Shu king's line.
This is good news!
Based on this, it can be inferred that the people of the Shu King's line should only be wary of Zuo Qianhu, Xuezhengguan and others.
They are temporarily unaware of Qin Shaoyou's role in these incidents.
Therefore, Qin Shaoyou will not be in danger of his life during today's banquet.
