"This time, I specially requested an imperial edict from His Majesty for Brother Xue Dao. With the blessing of the imperial edict, it can minimize the damage caused by Wangqi!"
Hearing this, the wealthy Yuanwailang nodded and smiled.
"Thank you Brother Cai for your protection. Brother, I will try my best. This time I will definitely be able to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people for Your Majesty!"
These figures are none other than the Daqian Imperial Envoy, whom many officials from Fengyang County are waiting for.
The stern middle-aged man is called Cai Hengxing.
He was the patrolling censor sent by the censor Taichung, and concurrently served as governor of the southeastern counties and other military affairs, as well as in charge of food and wages, prince Shaobao censor, Taizuo deputy capital censor, and other titles.
He is also the imperial envoy this time.
The abnormal death of Yu Tongguang, the governor of Fengyang County while in office, still attracted the attention of the Daqian court, and specially sent important ministers to investigate.
In fact, it was also an investigation into the local county Wang family.
The Daqian court has always shared the world with the Daqian gentry. While relying on the aristocratic families, it has always been extremely vigilant. At the same time, it is always thinking about suppressing these aristocratic families and eliminating these hidden dangers.
The other one was an official sent from Qin Tiantai.
This Taoist Xue Dongming is also an orthodox immortal cultivator who practices in the Dongshen Temple. He has profound magical power. In particular, he has been specially trained by the Dongshen Sect and is proficient in the miraculous technique of looking at Qi.
Watching Qi is the most mysterious ability in Feng Shui. It can directly see the essence of things and observe the most core changes in fate.
However, the art of gazing has had its limitations since ancient times.
If you are not careful, it can easily backfire.
Watching a being with weak luck may cost little. If you meet someone with strong luck, it is like secretly spying on a ferocious existence like a dragon or tiger. If you are not careful, you will be backlashed by it.
However, being born in the Dongshen Temple still has a special secret method that can avoid some backlash, such as using strength to bless oneself. If one has the status of being an orthodox member of the imperial court, he can naturally be invincible.
"Open your eyes!"
In a secluded place, I saw a stream of mana flowing from Xue Dongming's hand and pouring into the depths of his eyes, and wisps of purple energy and golden light could be vaguely seen in the depths of his eyes, like the scorching sun in the sky.
Wherever he looked, he immediately saw the various qi machines lingering in the sky above Qi Mansion.
At a glance, the sky above Qi Mansion is intertwined with red light, the door is filled with wealth, the flowers are in clusters, and there are several straight lines of energy and blood rushing into the sky, faintly resonating with the various stars in the sky.
"The star shines on the mansion, and the wealth continues. It is indeed a family of generals, with a long-lasting inheritance!"
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared in Xue Dongming's eyes.
Ho ho ho!
At this moment, the flower-like Qi above the Qi Mansion seemed to have noticed his peeping gaze. The invisible Qi was vibrating, as if it was about to roar with filial piety, and at this moment, there was also an imperial Qi boiling around him. , relying on his superiority in position, he forcibly frightened the light of luck that was about to pounce on him.
Like a dragon's head that scares all beasts!
Xue Dongming slowly narrowed his eyes.
Cai Hengxing's eyes flickered at this time and he said: "It seems that there is no problem with the Qi family!"
Xue Dongming nodded and said: "I haven't seen any strange signs of the rising dragon yet!"
Cai Hengxing sneered.
"But the suspicion of the Qi family cannot be ruled out. There are many hidden dragons who are also good at disguise before they take shape, and it is difficult to see through them!"
He seemed very hostile to Qi Fu.
Xue Dongming saw it in his eyes and nodded slightly, but there was a slight smile in his eyes. He heard that Cai Hengxing's second son had a dispute with the Suwei general Qi Yuanwu some time ago because of jealousy. It seems that this time he will have to embarrass the Qi family. Fan.
"In addition to the Qi family, there are two other major families, the Gu family, and the newly rising Zhang family. Do you want to investigate them one by one to eliminate suspicion?"
Xue Dongming looked serious.
Cai Hengxing thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Don't bother. If you are truly rebellious, you must be good at disguising. Our investigation is mainly to eliminate a few of the most suspect targets!"
"The Yu and Qi families in Fengyang County were originally the most powerful. Now the governor of Yu Dai has also fallen. The Qi family, who followed closely behind, benefited the most from the two turmoils. According to who benefited the most, who was suspected
The greater the principle, the Qi family cannot be separated from it!"
"As for the other Gu family and Zhang family, one's head has died and his vitality has been severely damaged! The other's official influence is far less than that of the Qi family. There is nothing unusual about such a wealthy family!
The Qi family is different!
The Qi family has members, is powerful, and has troops in hand, so if there is a problem, it must be the Qi family!"
The official looked certain.
Seeing Cai Hengxing's insistence, Xue Dongming naturally would not refute!
After a slight pause, he suggested: "If not, let's go meet the local Cave God Temple master first, maybe we can get clues from the branch temple master!"
Cai Hengxing nodded.
…
But when the group of people looked at each other, they were awakened by two other figures deep in the Qi family.
Deep in the Qi Mansion, in the underwater secluded realm, Bai Shuilong Lord Bai Nu is teaching Bai Liying how to become a god, and how to use Shinto magic to use the Shinto priesthood to feed his own blood and complete the practice of transforming into a dragon.
Bai Liying listened extremely carefully, but when Xue Dongming and his party peeked at the fate of the Qi family, they were immediately noticed by Bai Shuilong Lord Bai Nu.
That angry move was undoubtedly a clear provocation.
Fortunately, after realizing that the angry person was targeting the Qi family, Bai Nu stopped his anger and suppressed the power of the Nether Realm God Realm.
He was still a little displeased and snorted coldly: "Today's immortal cultivators rely on their own background to use spells indiscriminately. Don't you know that doing so will bring disaster to yourself, and sooner or later you will suffer backlash!"
Bai Liying looked slightly surprised when she saw this.
But after receiving the news from Bai Nu, she looked thoughtful.
…
Suburbs of the city, in front of the Red Flower Empress Temple
A group of people and horses galloped in from a distance, dust was everywhere, and the horses' hooves roared!
This scene immediately made many believers in front of the Red Flower Empress Temple nervous. Under the leadership of several Red Lotus Taoist believers, many people gathered over and quickly formed several human walls.
A group of people walked from far to near.
Zhang Jian took the lead, followed by hundreds of county soldiers, each holding an armored shield and a long sword in his hand. The leader was Zhang Kui, one of the five new commanders of the camp on the outskirts of Fengyang County.
There are nearly 8,000 elite soldiers stationed in the county defense camp on the outskirts of Fengyang County. Currently, they are all under the command of Qi Yuansi, the capital inspector. He has five commanders under his jurisdiction, each commanding 1,000 elite soldiers.
Zhang Jian intended to sweep away Honglian Road, so he went to see Qi Yuansi in person. Qi Yuansi waved his hand and asked Zhang Kui to lead a thousand elite soldiers to accompany him.
In fact, to deal with matters in Honglian Road, it's okay to come without the garrison.
However, since he has privileges in his hands, Zhang Jian is naturally happy to have less trouble.
"Step aside!"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Kui immediately shouted loudly.
The leader of the red-clad cultists did not dodge at all, but instead blocked the middle of the road with a low voice.
"Master, please don't make loud noises before the Queen's temple, let alone offend the gods. If the Queen is blamed, it will definitely damage your family's blessings!"
Zhang Kui was furious when he heard this. "You are deceiving the public with your evil words!"
He waved the whip in his hand and instantly hit the believers blocking the way.
Knock him to the ground.
The force of his whip was so strong that the cultist immediately fell to the ground and groaned.
Seeing this, many believers next to them looked unhappy and started to make a lot of noise.
"These big-headed soldiers are beating people. They want to be disrespectful to the queen. We must stop them!"
"Stop them!"
Suddenly some believers started making noises below.
Many of the people who had been surrounding them suddenly became agitated, looking at the many big soldiers with evil eyes.
The Red Flower Empress Temple is very effective.
It has attracted many believers over the years.
There is no shortage of diehard fans!
Zhang Kui glanced at the many people who had gathered around him and laughed angrily. As the lieutenant of Fengxi County, no one dared to act arrogantly in front of the army.
Now these believers are so brave that they dare to block the march.
With a stern look in his eyes, he raised his hand slightly to give these believers something powerful to taste.
Zhang Jian waved his hands when he saw this.
"Fourth uncle, don't be angry, just disperse them!"
"We only kill the first culprit!"
Zhang Jian saw this scene in his eyes and didn't care.
These are just some small means.
Most people are just bewitched by these believers.
Zhang Kui's eyes wrinkled slightly when he heard this, but he still chose to suppress the anger in his heart.
He had great trust in this nephew.
With a slight wave of his hand, he saw some elite armored soldiers advancing forward side by side with spears in hand.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The majestic shouts of harmony rang out on the long street, accompanied by the advance of a group of elite armored soldiers, bringing with it a breathtaking evil aura.
These are elite soldiers whose hands are stained with blood, and not ordinary people can deal with them head-on.
Not to mention the spear with its cold light exposed.
Hundreds of elite soldiers advanced in unison, immediately dividing the many believers into dozens of pieces.
There were also crazy believers who tried to resist. Some soldiers raised their shields and charged forward, knocking these crazy believers to the ground and controlling them immediately.
Zhang Jian looked at the Red Flower Empress Temple at this time. In his sensitive mind, the divine power belonging to the Red Flower Empress was fluctuating violently. It seemed to have become extremely weak at first, but in an instant, the divine power suddenly exploded, and the divine domain swept across
.
The invisible divine realm was just meeting a team of hundreds of elite soldiers, and was suddenly pierced by an invisible and vast dragon and tiger energy.
These elites who have fought countless battles are capable of cutting down mountains and destroying temples.
Although the gods could suppress the monster monks in the mountains and fields, they were restrained by the imperial cauldron.
Of course, if the evil god is completely released, he still has a certain ability to resist, but if he confronts the imperial garrison head-on, the chance of winning is not high. The best case scenario is to abandon the temple and basically become a wandering evil ghost.
Once such evil spirits appear, they will immediately become the target of attacks by local gods.
Zhang Jian looked at this scene indifferently, but did not let Zhang Kui directly attack the Red Flower Empress Temple and kill the wild god. Instead, he waited.
inside the temple
At this time, the Red Flower Empress has mastered the physical body of the Great Host. The beautiful woman opened her eyes, and the vague and boundless flames were billowing all over her body. Wisps of divine power were integrated into the Great Host's body, making the spiritual power on the Great Host's body close to that of the Great Host.
The edge of the base.
In fact, to a certain extent, the Great Host's wish has been fulfilled. She has incorporated the power of 'gods' into her flesh and blood, and has successfully condensed her destiny to exorcise the gods.
This is the basis of foundation building.
However, nourished by Zhang Jian's half stick of incense, the Red Flower Empress regained her magical power, which completely overturned the magic circle, causing her to fail. All preparations were completed by the Red Flower Empress.
Not only did he break through the seal, he also took the opportunity to enter the body of the great host and truly turned it into a cauldron.
Slowly suppressing the host's consciousness, the Red Flower Empress also felt the restrictions imposed on her by this body, but this restriction was extremely precious to her.
The Great Master has been stealing her divine power tempering foundation over the years, and this invisible body is very suitable for her. After she took it away, the degree of compatibility increased, and now it is as if she has a body of flesh and blood.
This is an experience that many gods dream of.
Not to mention that the host's identity also has a great origin, and if used well, it will be of great help to her path to Shinto.
At this time, she also noticed the changes outside. The red light in the depths of her eyes fluctuated slightly. She sensed the scene outside and immediately walked out of the main hall.
"lady!"
Seeing the Red Flower Empress walking out of the hall, several women holding long swords on both sides quickly bowed in low voices.
The Red Flower Empress nodded slightly when she saw this. Her expression at this moment was the same as that of the host. Whether it was her expression, temperament, or tone of voice, none of her subordinates around her doubted her.
When the Red Flower Lady walked out of the temple gate, she happened to see some left-behind magicians secretly trained by the great abbot, ready to fight with the county soldiers in the city defense camp in front of her. She immediately spoke out.
"stop!"
"Great host!"
Hearing her words, many believers around the temple were shocked, and many of them couldn't help but worship her devoutly, almost treating her as a holy god in the world.
Zhang Kui's expression perked up when he saw this scene. He couldn't help but glance at Zhang Jian and was about to order the beautiful woman to be taken down. Suddenly he saw Zhang Jian looking at the beautiful woman with a strange look in his eyes.
"It seems you have succeeded?"
The 'Grand Host' had already recognized Zhang Jian at this time. Her beautiful face was all dignified and holy: "I was just about to thank Mr. Lang for asking for help!"
After a slight pause, she looked at the many soldiers around her and said, "It's just that the small temple is small and humble. I wonder if you would be willing to go inside and talk about it?"
Zhang Jian glanced deep between the big host's brows, and the fiery red mark was vivid. He nodded and said, "That's good!"
Zhang Kui next to him was about to persuade, but Zhang Jian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Fourth uncle, I see that the Red Flower Empress Temple is clean and peaceful, with no evil spirits. There should be no danger. Fourth uncle does not need to worry about accompanying him, just maintain order outside!"
Seeing this, Zhang Kui had no choice but to give up.
But I still had some nagging thoughts in my heart, wondering if Zhang Jian had fallen into the beauty trap of the host in front of him.
The hostess in front of her is indeed extremely beautiful, especially because she has that special maturity and softness that cannot be matched by ordinary little girls who have not yet grown up.
But there had never been any rumors in Zhang Jian's room before.
Perhaps it’s because he has never eaten meat before that he cannot withstand the temptation of this mature woman?
The fire of Bagua was burning in Zhang Kui's heart.
