More than a month ago, Bai Liuliu stayed in Julu Port with several divine attendants. Through the recruitment notice on the ghost market notice board, he joined several rebel teams designated by Bai Ziqi.
Of course, there are people who do bad things in the name of the Black Armored Army, and there are quite a few of them, but these are not Bai Ziqi's goals.
The several rebel armies he selected were all fighting evil in the Gold Shining Plains and sharing money to help the poor. The more dedicated ones could even complete ten battles in thirty days. The villains they eliminated were both big and small. They upheld the concept of "Don't do evil."
It’s too small to get rid of”.
But if you walk at night with such frequency, the possibility of encountering ghosts is very high.
The rebel army that Bai Liuliu joined fell into the opponent's trap during the operation - Bai Ziqi knew how the trap was set - the number of enemies was three times greater than expected, and they were waiting for danger.
The rebels failed in their sneak attack but were surrounded and annihilated, suffering heavy losses.
However, its leader Miao Yexian also had some experience and led the rebels into the mountains, using the complex terrain of the forest to deal with the enemy.
This circle lasted three days.
The local tyrants and evil gentry on the Golden Plains all hated the rebels so much that they finally got the upper hand and insisted on catching Miao Ye first and skinning him in public to frighten the other mud-legged people.
Just when the situation was critical and the rebel army was surrounded and there was no way to hide, the black-armored army suddenly appeared behind the enemy like magic soldiers descending from the sky!
Bai Liuliu and the others were really looking forward to it.
Needless to say later, the Black Armored Army rescued the rebels and escaped, killing more than 200 enemies, and even the enemy leader was beheaded.
This black-armored army only had thirty knights, but they were unyielding and fierce when killing people.
Miao Yexian and others were rescued by his idol. Of course he was filled with gratitude and admiration. He knelt down on the spot and wanted to join the Black Armored Army, but was rejected with a wave of his hand.
Then, the black-armored army turned around and left.
This is their usual style, coming and going like the wind, without talking to the rebels.
The Black Armored Army has rich experience. When retreating, they will of course check whether there is anyone following behind or whether someone has used tracking powers.
But Bai Liuliu still tracked it!
The reason is very simple, he uses divine magic instead of easily detectable magical powers.
After the black-armored army appeared, Bai Liuliu immediately ordered one of his men to rebel and attack the black-armored cavalry.
The black-armored army had just arrived, and they didn't know that this man was originally in the rebel camp. Of course, they regarded him as an enemy without thinking and shot him through the heart!
However, this Heavenly Palace Divine Attendant was imbued with the magical power of "Divine Grace".
The god will cast this magic on the disciple he likes, and occasionally cast a concerned look. If the disciple is killed, the mark of the magic will stick to the murderer, turning into "God's Gaze".
That's right, it's the golden thread invisible to humans. Both General Red and He Lingchuan have cut it.
The existence of God's gaze can enable gods to track the whereabouts of the murderer.
In this scene, the black-armored soldier was unknowingly marked by the god's servant at the cost of his life.
Then, the gods can track the mark.
The key to the success of this magical technique is that fanatical believers are willing to sacrifice their lives for it.
What Bai Ziqi is most concerned about is where the Black Armored Army went after the battle.
"This mark was active near the east of Wutian Town, and then went to Jixing Town and Kushitan?"
Of course, Bai Liuli also went to Wutian Town in person, and then discovered that this "black-armored soldier" actually worked in the town's horse and carriage shop!
When Bai Liuliu saw him, he was brushing his horse, with piles of hay taller than a person piled beside him.
Bai Ziqi couldn't help but laugh: "What a good job."
The carriage and horse shop has a high turnover of personnel. After all, driving a carriage back and forth and disappearing from a certain place for ten and a half days will not arouse suspicion.
A natural invisible body.
Bai Liuliu has been with Bai Ziqi for a long time, and he knows to check the background of this horse racing company without any further instructions from his superiors.
"It is said that it was opened by a rich man named Liu in the town. My subordinates will dig deeper!"
"Liu Fuhu?" Bai Ziqi couldn't help but shook his head. Emperor Jiuyou was almost the most difficult target he had ever investigated. Uncovering his hidden identity was like peeling off layer after layer of an onion.
How many people are there in Liu Fuhu's carriage shop? Bai Liuqiu roughly estimates that there must be about 200 people. Of course, they are all strong men, because the carriage drivers often have to work as laborers to help customers load and unload goods. They encounter thieves on the road.
Bandits may have to fight.
In the eyes of others, the scale of Liu Fuhu's horse and carriage shop is a bit large, which means that the business is good, so they will not be suspicious.
But in the eyes of a thoughtful person like Bai Liuliu, this number is very suitable.
When did Liu Fuhu start his business? When did he open this carriage and horse racing business? What is his main business now? He is just a businessman. Once he is targeted, the answers to these questions can be found locally.
Bai Ziqi solemnly said: "Tell Bai Liuliu to be careful and not to be discovered by the target."
At dawn, Bai Ziqi ordered his men to pack their bags and prepare to leave Mangzhou and return eastward.
The waiter asked: "My lord, which way should we go back?"
"It's better to take a boat on the Fu'er River." Bai Ziqi said, "The shortest way is by water."
Before leaving, I looked back and saw that the epiphyllum that had been blooming for another night in the yard had faded.
This kind of amazingness will never last long.
In the evening of the next day, they arrived at the Ivory Pier at the mouth of the Fu'er River, facing the rolling river.
The reason for this name is that the river bend and the wharf together form the shape of an ivory. This is a very busy waterway, with merchant ships and passenger ships coming and going every day. Today, there are about thirty large and small ships moored next to the wharf, and some are moored.
Unloading goods, some are dropping off passengers.
Bai Ziqi had already seen this excitement when he came.
The waiter took the token and the temple's ultimatum to the dock. The ten boats they came on had been waiting in the bay, and no one dared to move the dock no matter how busy it was.
Soon, ten ships were ready.
Bai Ziqi then stepped out of the carriage and Shi Shiran got onto the dock surrounded by everyone.
The business travelers and boat passengers at the pier and river bend stopped and stared at them blankly, wondering where this big shot was traveling.
Bai Ziqi's eyes swept across their faces, looking lightly into the distance.
This section of the river journey is the best section for an ambush. Most of our three hundred guards are on other boats. When we arrived at Zhu County, we did not have the right time and place.
Will his enemies miss such a good opportunity?

While Bai Ziqi went to Mangzhou to investigate the case, Yaoting also officially announced to the whole country that the Emperor's Liquid would erupt in eleven days at the earliest and thirteen days at the latest, and all citizens were asked to prepare for it.
It is difficult to accurately predict the eruption time of the Imperial Ooze to the sky, and how long the entire process will last is also unknown. This forecast is the result of many revisions, and is several days later than the original version.
It can be seen from this that the arrival of the Emperor's Liquid this time is very unusual, and the cause is very complicated. Even the original estimation of the gods was wrong.
