"You have worked hard all the way, so I won't disturb you any more. You have a good rest. If you need anything, tell Yi Cheng, we will try our best to satisfy you. Please stay and don't have to see me off."
At the entrance of Qingtangwei's inn, Di Jie bowed his hands to Qin Qiaoer, Qin Shaoyou and others, then turned and left.
After sending this person away, Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and others turned around and entered the courtyard arranged for them by the post station. However, they did not speak in a hurry. Instead, they immediately inspected carefully after sending away the post soldiers.
After a while, they finished the inspection, gathered together, and whispered:
"No monitoring arrays or mechanisms were found."
"No traps were found in the yard, and there were no related fluctuations in supernatural items."
"There are no such things as ghosts and ghosts."
"There is basically no problem with this yard."
Qin Shaoyou also used [Bright Eyes], [Bian Ting] and [Miaobi] to check the surroundings, and indeed found no problems. However, out of caution, he asked two Taoist priests Zeng Cong and Tuhuang to lay some stones in the yard.
A magic circle to prevent snooping and eavesdropping.
After the two Taoist priests finished making these arrangements and gave Qin Shaoyou a 'OK' gesture, he opened his mouth and commented on Dongchuan Hou's operation.
"This Marquis of Dongchuan may really have an urgent military meeting to preside over, but he also really wants to leave us here... Is this simply to give us a disincentive? Or does he want to delay time so that they can do something
Covering up the arrangement?”
Qin Qiaoer had a different view: "The imperial court's accountability documents arrived at Qingtang Guard earlier than we did. His Majesty's private letter must have been delivered to the hands of the Marquis of Dongchuan long ago. He received these documents and the decree,
He should have known that we would come to investigate this matter. Even if there were any tricks, he should have dealt with it long ago and could not have delayed it until now. He left us here to hang out, not so much against us, but as a way to complain to the court.
, to express grievances and dissatisfaction to His Majesty the Emperor. With His Majesty’s suspicious character today, if Marquis Dongchuan did not protest or lose his temper when he was under investigation, it would actually make him suspicious.”
When Zhu Xiucai heard this, he couldn't help snorting coldly: "Wrongful and dissatisfied? He, the Marquis of Dongchuan, is also embarrassed. Those hundreds of Qingtang barbarians passed through his defense area, right? And those in Yizhou
The Qingtang wizard who spread poisons everywhere also got past their "impregnable" defense line, right? Even if he, the Marquis of Dongchuan, did not collude with Qingtang, he still cannot escape the charge of improper handling and incompetent control. He should really feel
Those who are aggrieved and dissatisfied are the poor people who were ruined by the Qingtang barbarians and Qingtang wizards who entered the country, not the Marquis of Dongchuan!"
"What the scholar said makes sense."
Everyone nodded in unison, agreeing with Zhu Xiucai's words.
It was also at this time that a red-clothed envoy named Zang Feng under Qin Qiaoer came in from outside the courtyard and reported: "Commander, I just tried it. The guards outside the post station did not prohibit us from going out, but when we went out,
, there will be soldiers accompanying us, saying that this is to avoid misunderstandings caused by the patrols in the city not recognizing us. In addition, I also found that in the dark, there were people in civilian clothes following us to see where we went and who we met.
What did you say?"
After saying that, Zang Feng sneered again: "Those who are following them think they are doing things without noticing, but in my eyes, they are full of flaws."
Qin Qiaoer said with a serious face: "Don't take it lightly. There are still many capable people in the border army's night guard. Maybe those people you found following are just putting it on the surface to paralyze us and make us careless.
The real stalker is still hiding in the dark."
Qiu Shi stroked a strange-looking 'mother insect' in his hand and agreed: "What Commander Qin said is right. When Zang Zongqi went out just now, I asked the Gu insects to follow him from a distance, and found that except for a few obviously suspicious ones,
In addition to the sentry detectives, there are a few people who are not easily noticed, and they are also quietly watching Zang Zongqi's every move. It's just that these people hide more secretly, and they will hand over to their companions after following them for a certain distance.
If they hadn't discovered the Gu insects, I probably wouldn't have noticed their existence."
"Is there such a thing? It seems that I really underestimated the people here." Zang Feng raised his eyebrows and put away the contempt in his heart.
After Qin Qiaoer thought about it for a while, he discussed with Qin Shaoyou for a few more words, and then issued an order:
"Since the Marquis of Dongchuan does not prohibit us from leaving the inn, our investigation can begin. Zang Feng, take a few people with you, as red-clothed envoys, to conduct an investigation in the open, go to the relevant yamen, and consult with relevant personnel.
This is also to further test the attitude of Marquis Dongchuan. Taoist Qiu, please use Gu insects to find all the people who are being watched near the post station. Send a group of Gu insects to sneak into various government offices in the city and monitor their movements closely. Mr. Zhu
Qi, I heard from you adults that you are very good at spying on information. I would like to ask you to disguise yourself and get information in the dark. I want to know which defense area those Qingtang barbarians and wizards passed through.
Where are the relevant generals in the defense area, who have they seen before and after the incident, and what have they done..."
Zang Feng, Qiu Shi, Zhu Xiucai and others all bowed their hands to accept the order.
Qin Shaoyou was a little regretful that Qiurong did not follow him into the city. Otherwise, with her special ability of being elusive and difficult for others to detect, she would undoubtedly have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort by cooperating with Zhu Xiucai to investigate these things.
It's just that the fierce energy and blood in Qingtangwei's city were too strong for Qiurong. Qin Shaoyou was afraid that she wouldn't be able to resist it and her soul would be damaged, so she let her fight with Monk Ma, Gunshan Jun and others.
They stayed outside the city together as support.
Zang Feng, Zhu Xiucai, Qiu Shi and others quickly followed Qin Qiaoer's instructions.
Cui Yougui has a character that can't sit still. Seeing that Feng Chu was on errands, he was also anxious for a job that would attract the limelight, so he hurriedly volunteered: "What about me? What should I do?"
"You..."
Qin Qiaoer really couldn't think of any errands that could be sent to Cui Yougui at this stage, so he could only cast an inquiring look at Qin Shaoyou.
Qin Shaoyou thought for a while and said: "You assist us to take command and judge whether the intelligence investigated by Xiucai and others is true or false. Then based on this information, use your deduction method to see if you can deduce some useful information.
.”
"good."
Cui Youying agreed immediately, looked at Zhu Xiucai and said: "Xiucai, you have to investigate diligently and don't come back with some false information. It will not only embarrass you, but also our adults!"
Zhu Xiucai didn't say anything and just showed him his middle finger.
On the other side, after Di Jie left the inn, he went straight to the Yamen where Marquis Dongchuan handled military affairs.
The Marquis of Dongchuan did convene the generals here to discuss military affairs. After Di Jie arrived, he was arranged to wait in a side room. After about half an hour, he was brought into the meeting hall by a soldier.
At this time, the military meeting has ended, and the generals have returned to their camps to make corresponding arrangements. In the meeting hall, apart from the Marquis of Dongchuan, who is over fifty years old, there is only a young man wearing a Confucian robe standing beside him.
The facial features of this young man are very similar to those of Dongchuan Hou. He is the Dongchuan Hou Shizi who once helped the King of Shu spread the word and asked Zuo Qianhu to 'take good care of' Qin Shaoyou and others.
