After the fight was over, Liang Tao and Jiang Ru walked slowly over. Looking at the corpses everywhere, Liang Tao smiled and said, "I didn't realize that your methods were so ruthless."
Zhao Shu threw Qingluo Yi to the ground: "If they want to kill me, do they still care about not being lenient enough?"
"That's not true." Liang Tao looked around and said with an eagle eyebrow: "First, use your clone to lure the opponent to take action. Then he will place talisman on the ground in the dark, set up a trap, and at the same time summon tigers to divide the enemy's formation. Wait for the enemy to approach.
, be the first to kill the most brave one, wait for the following people to approach, use the elixir to break the smoke miasma, and finally activate the pre-arranged spell to complete the victory in one go. It is no wonder that these people were defeated so miserably. "
Zhao Shu was not at all happy about Liang Tao's praise: "The use of magic techniques requires endless changes, not to mention that I am fighting against many, how could I rush forward without any advance arrangements?"
"Why are you angry? I didn't blame you." Liang Tao smiled faintly and asked: "Is the clone you just used the gold-water deformation method?"
"So what? The magic formula was given to me by Liang Shuo. You can take back the scriptures, so why don't you have to destroy my magic technique?" Zhao Shu asked back.
Liang Tao looked at Zhao Shu: "There is no need to take back what has been given away. I am not so narrow-minded."
"I hope that your majesty and magnanimity can be used in other places." Zhao Shu turned around and walked towards the ferry. He counted a few strokes with his Qingxuan pen, breaking the illusion, revealing a black-painted tent boat.
.
Zhao Shu walked into the boat and found that in addition to all kinds of goods, there were more than a dozen wine jars inside. Zhao Shu noticed that there was something wrong with the Qi movement, and after being slightly wary, he opened the mud seal, and a smell similar to that of alcohol came out from inside.
Zhao Shu hurriedly cast a spell to calm down the energy, lowered his head and watched for a moment, his expression suddenly changed, and then he turned around and rushed back to the shore, came to Qing Luo Yi and kicked her again and again.
Qingluo Yi woke up from pain. Her hands, feet and limbs were tightly bound by numbness and numbness, and her mouth was sealed by a spell, making her unable to speak. And Zhao Shui's fists and feet were powerful, so even though Qingluo Yi's muscles and bones were far stronger than ordinary people, she could not speak.
Unable to withstand Zhao Shu's continuous heavy blows, after a while his muscles and bones were broken in many places. He begged again and again, but could not say a word and could only sob intermittently.
Jiang Ru was deeply surprised to see Zhao Shu being so angry. Even though she had faced Zhao Shu's anger, in her impression, Zhao Shu would not lose his mind and become furious, and it was even rarer for him to be beaten so hard like this.
"Chief, Zhao Shu, this is..." Jiang Ru asked in a low voice, "Do you want to give me some advice?"
Liang Tao raised his eyes and looked at the ship: "Can you understand it by yourself?"
Jiang Ru carefully came to the docked boat and saw the wine jars displayed inside. She peeped carefully and found that there were several babies stuffed inside, soaked in amber liquid. Judging from the size of the bones of these babies, they were probably not yet born, and their bulging bellies
There was also a piece of umbilical cord attached to it, so maybe the mother's belly would be cut open and the fetus inside would be pulled out directly.
Although Jiang Ru is a demon, in the past she has seen mostly immortal-cultivating families such as Chongxuan Hall. They come and go in beautiful and beautiful places. They pay attention to their daily necessities to avoid being stained with dirt, and they must avoid filthy corpses as much as possible.
Originally, Jiang Ru didn't like the blood-stained battlefield just now, but when she saw the contents of the wine jar, she suddenly felt dizzy and ran out of the cabin to vomit by the river.
"Okay, why waste your energy?"
Liang Tao watched Zhao Shu beating Qing Luo Yi until he was about to die. The beautiful face that once tempted many noble disciples to spend a lot of money was beaten by Zhao Shu until his nose was crooked and his eyes were slanted, and he was unconscious. In the distance, Jiang Ru's face was pale.
He walked over, obviously shocked.
"The vitality of fetuses is the purest, they are unconscious, and their souls are clear and pure. They are most suitable for collecting and refining through evil magic." Liang Tao said: "If you guessed correctly, this group of people should be making a golden fetal vitality soup. Such bait
The medicine practitioner takes the unborn baby and puts it into an urn, matching each of the three boys and three girls, and then supplements it with various spiritual herbs, which finally melts the baby's flesh and bones and turns it into a golden soup and nectar, which can greatly replenish vitality and prolong life."
"That's nonsense!" Zhao Shu crushed Qingluo Yi's legs with his foot: "That's just a jar of corpse water! It's a highly poisonous drug for mortals, and immortal cultivators are afraid to avoid it! It's only filthy.
Only evil spirits can use it!"
"Isn't that enough?" Liang Tao said calmly: "Even if Qing Luoyi escapes from Dongsheng Capital, he still has to take this batch of golden embryo vitality soup with him, which shows how precious it is. As for whether he should enjoy it for himself or give it as a filial piety to some powerful evil spirit
, it doesn’t matter.”
"Are you just sitting back and watching all this happen under your nose?" Zhao Shu asked: "In order to refine such evil medicine, how many innocent women and children died at the hands of evil spirits? You know it clearly, but you are indifferent!"
Liang Tao looked at Zhao Shu and sneered: "What does the life and death of others have to do with me? I would also like to advise you not to indulge your self-righteous compassion. The troubles in the world often come from this."
Zhao Shu was silent for a long time, his face gloomy. Jiang Ru could feel his murderous intention and pointed at Liang Tao without any concealment.
"Don't be like Luo Xixian, because you will ruin yourself because of your stupidity." Liang Tao said: "Don't forget, I could have let these people go, but I still brought you here so that you can get rid of the monster who tried to kill you.
, it can also satisfy the desire to punish evil and bring justice."
"Master Imperial Master, do you want me to thank you?" Zhao Shu said word by word.
"If you think so, it's okay." Liang Tao smiled lightly.
Zhao Miao suppressed the ups and downs in his heart and asked: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Why did you say this?" Liang Tao asked.
"Since the Imperial Master can accurately find the location of Qing Luoyi and others, even if he doesn't want the arresting department to win the first prize, he can personally get rid of this group of monsters." Zhao Shu said: "I don't understand, even if you have accumulated a lot of trouble,
Zheng Tunan was implicated in the Baoge assassination, so as a national master, there is no need to personally explain it to me."
"Keep talking." Liang Tao said with his hands behind his back.
"The Imperial Master asked me to take action to defeat this group of demons. Do you want to take this opportunity to give me some credit?" Zhao Shu said: "In this case, I think the Imperial Master has other motives. You might as well say it bluntly, I, Zhao Shu,
Just listen."
"No rush." Liang Tao smiled delicately, raised his finger to the sky, and a burst of light shone in the sky, forming the cloud pattern emblem of Chongxuan Pavilion.
"The people from the arrest department will arrive in a moment." Liang Tao said: "Whether you want this credit or not depends on you."
After saying this, Liang Tao turned around gracefully, his figure gradually blurred and disappeared into the night.
"What about you?" Zhao Shu was silent for a long time, then turned to look at Jiang Ru.
"If Deacon Zhao doesn't want to leave, I can serve as a witness." Jiang Ru replied.
Zhao Shu looked at the Qingluo Yi on the ground and the fainting wolf-headed monster not far away, and sighed: "Just wait here for a while."
…
"Jiuli Country?!"
Outside the arrest department, Marquis Anyang, who understood the situation, asked anxiously: "Liu Xiaowei, are you sure that the person who planned the assassination is from Jiuli Kingdom?"
In front of Anyang Marquis, a captain of the arrest department raised his hands and said: "Yes, after several days and nights of torture, and using various techniques to shake the soul, we can confirm that the demons led by Qing Luo Yi are Jiuli Guoan
Spies inserted in Dongshengdu."
Anyang Hou looked sad, and then said: "Since we have asked about the situation, why is the arresting department still unwilling to let Zhao Shu leave?"
"Deacon Zhao is closely related to the case. He is currently under the care of our arrest department. Please forgive me." Colonel Lu replied: "Right now, Longzangpu is still being searched, and some of the ghosts who escaped from the ghost market are also being hunted down. I cannot do this because of my humble position.
Make sure there are no other assassin spies with evil intentions."
Anyang Hou stamped his feet: "You are confused! Since Zhao Shui can kill many evil spirits single-handedly, does he need to be afraid of other assassins?"
"Just in case, please forgive me, Lord Marquis," Colonel Lu said.
"Why just in case?" Anyang Hou scolded: "I see that your arrest department is also thinking of clinging to Chongxuan Pavilion and is worried that Zhao Shu will make a fuss about Zheng Tunan, right?"
"Please be careful what you say, Lord Marquis." Lu Xiaowei said: "We are all working for the imperial court, and we can't talk about clinging to anyone."
"I'm going to meet the king now!" Anyang Houyan said: "I don't understand why your arrest department detains Zhao Shu!"
Anyang Hou waved his sleeves and left the arrest department and went straight to the palace. However, he did not enter the palace. Instead, he went to the Yuyi Pavilion to see Mrs. Zhu Zi.
"You mean, Zhao Shui left Jindingsi with the people from Chongxuan Hall?" Mrs. Zhu Zi sat in front of the spinning wheel and said calmly: "It seems that Liang Tao has ulterior motives for Zhao Shui."
"That's what I'm worried about!" Marquis Anyang said: "Obviously Zheng Tunan was involved in the assassination of Jibao Pavilion, and the Zheng family in Jiujiang was undeniably to blame. But now, Zhao Shui, with the help of Liang Tao, did it himself
It’s hard for me to kill evil spirits!”
"You need to calm down first. The arrest department is set up by the king of the country. It is not the Chongxuan Hall that can make decisions. Zhao Shui is safer inside. Now that we know that the assassin comes from Jiuli Kingdom, the situation is very different."
Madam Zhu Zi twisted the silk thread and whispered harmoniously:
"You should also understand that the civil war in Youxiong has not been settled, and the Jiuli Kingdom is ready to take action. The Jinding Division and the New Army are preparing to deal with the enemy's invasion. Zhao Shu, as the deacon of the Jinding Division, was assassinated, which is the attempt of the Jiuli Kingdom.
Confusing our evidence."
Marquis Anyang pondered for a moment and came up with a plan: "Jiuli Kingdom's move has implicated the Zheng family in Jiujiang, and we may be able to start from now on. Didn't the leader of the country also send troops to surround the Zheng family? We might as well go one step further and insist on Jiujiang.
The Zheng family secretly communicated with the enemy. I would like to see how Liang Tao would respond?"
"I'm afraid that Liang Guoshi will abandon the Jiujiang Zheng family without hesitation." Mrs. Zhu Zi said.
"That's just right!" Marquis Anyang slapped his thigh: "I have heard for a long time that the Liang family in Yongjia experienced a great disaster in the late Tianxia years, and the clan members suffered heavy casualties. Liang Tao relied entirely on the Zheng family's rescue to save his life. If he dared to abandon the Zheng family in Jiujiang,
What will the world think of it? What will the other immortal families think?"
"In that case, go ahead and do it." Madam Zhu Zi raised her hand gently.
…
At the foot of Difei Mountain, Chongxuan lower pavilion and pavilions are connected, and the smoke from the cauldron is endless all year round. The sound of bells and chimes can be faintly heard from inside. Even if Dongsheng City is roaring with noise in the wild, it seems that it cannot disturb this blessed place of spiritual cultivation in this world.
But a figure was seen flying along the ground, faster than a galloping horse, rushing straight from the countryside outside the city towards the gate tower at the foot of the mountain.
There were no disciples on duty outside the gate tower, but if the two Tianlu stone sculptures in front of the gate sensed a response, the spiritual light flowed up and down, and they immediately came to life, turning into Tianlu beasts with lion's manes and antlers and wings.
"He who comes is stopped!"
The two Tianlu beasts sounded at the same time, their antlers intertwined with golden light, and shot out two flying beams to intercept the intruder.
A few crisp sounds were heard, and a dove stick fell to the ground. Zheng Yulou appeared and stood still, angrily yelling: "You can't even recognize me? Get out of the way!"
The two Tianlu beasts showed no intention of giving in, and their tone of voice did not fluctuate: "The first one has an order. Chongxuan Hall will not welcome guests today."
Zheng Yulou's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he smashed the green bricks on the ground with the dove stick in his hand: "Liang Tao, what do you mean? You just waited for me to come to see you, and then you let these two fake donkeys fool me?"
Zheng Yulou's shouts were heard in the mountains, causing the birds to flutter their wings in fright. However, the two Tianlu beasts still refused to give in, and the golden light of their antlers shone again. At the same time, smoke and dust billowed behind Zheng Yulou, and dozens of riders came galloping over.
.
When Zheng Yulou was about to fight hard, a bell rang deep in the Difei Mountain, and the two Tianlu beasts immediately retreated and said in unison: "The leader has invited you."
"Hmph!" Zheng Yulou angrily shouted and rushed directly into the mountain gate. Dozens of riders who had arrived late saw the two majestic Tianlu beasts blocking their way, so they had to rein in their horses and stop moving forward.
…
Zheng Yulou walked straight into the Difei Mountain and arrived at the Bamboo Hall deep in the mountains. Just as he was about to step into it, he bumped into an invisible air barrier.
"Can't even I go in?" Zheng Yulou asked, leaning on his stick.
Liang Tao, who was wearing dark clothes and a crown, appeared and stepped out. He said with a cold expression: "I have been in seclusion recently and I have come out of seclusion this time. What do you want?"
"I'm here for nothing else. I just hope you can save the Zheng family!" Zheng Yulou looked excited: "Do you know what is being rumored in the court now?"
"What's the matter?"
"How dare they accuse me, the Jiujiang Zheng family, of collaborating with the enemy and treason!" Zheng Yulou struck his stick repeatedly: "So many descendants of our Jiujiang Zheng family died on the battlefield, and they sacrificed their lives for the foundation of the Huaxu Kingdom, and now they have ended up like this? Arrest Division
Those black dogs, they seize a few clues and spread the word, they are totally treacherous!"
Liang Tao looked indifferent and did not respond. Seeing him like this, Zheng Yulou said angrily: "Liang Tao! You should say something!"
"No matter what, it is irrefutable that Zheng Tunan personally participated in the assassination." Liang Tao replied: "No matter how high my cultivation level is, I can't reverse what has been decided."
"Zheng Tunan was confused for a moment, but he is already dead!" Zheng Yulou shed tears and could not suppress his grief: "But now, all members of the Zheng family in Jiujiang are being accused of collaborating with the enemy. The king of the country cannot even tolerate it.
I argue and defend, but this is obviously to kill me, Mr. Zheng! Are you going to sit back and do nothing?"
"Control? How should I control it?" Liang Tao asked back: "The arresting department has even found out that someone in your family has secret contacts with the Jiuli Kingdom, violated the court's laws, and transported large quantities of grain, rice, and raw silk to the Jiuli Kingdom in exchange for slaves.
"
"Everyone is doing this kind of thing, am I the only one who has to bear the blame for the Jiujiang Zheng family?" Zheng Yulou raised his finger and scolded: "Don't think that the Yongjia Liang family is so clean. The Jiujiang Zheng family can't protect it, and the entire Chongxuan family
