In the dark of night, Deputy Mai walked alone to the street.
Nancheng is particularly quiet at night. Zhaocheng is the county seat of Riyang County, a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands. The local county guard is quite effective and manages the city in an orderly manner. There are also various political forces in the local area, but Gao Yuanhou went north.
, the first batch of cities to be managed was Zhaocheng. The elite raids were carried out to clean up the messy gangs, leaving only a few peaceful white roads, which were also marginalized. The households were reorganized, the people were established, and the towns were established to consolidate
the authority of the government.
Thanks to years of governance, during this critical period, the city-wide martial law has been implemented to prohibit the enforcement of laws and regulations. Some left-behind children from high-ranking families in North City openly resisted the curfew, and after being lectured by the district magistrate, they only dared to play at home secretly, while in South City they
Total darkness.
Mai Shiyu walked on the street, thinking about today's events and clarifying his thoughts.
The first question is, the note that came out of the blue looks similar, but has no beginning or end. Is it true or false?
But this is not a problem. Now that the arrival date of the Hollow Demon Cave is imminent, there is not much time left for myself. Whether this news is true or false, I can only take it seriously. After all, I don’t know how to deal with it.
I have received other news. The two losers of Qingtian Temple are completely ruined. Whether it is true or false is revealed.
So there are only a few things to do now.
The first thing is, of course, to arrange the evacuation of the people at the place where the Demon Cave is coming, without causing any commotion. Firstly, it cannot arouse the suspicion of Qingtian Temple, and secondly, it cannot cause panic among the people. After all, only some people will be evacuated. If it causes the whole
Panic in the city leads to chaos, and the number of people who die may not be less than those caused by evil disasters. This matter must be completed within two days, and it is difficult to find names and excuses. As for the guardian envoy's suggestion of finding a reason to lock everyone in jail, that is
What a good place to be in a prison? If you go in and out, you will lose at least half your life. Unless it is absolutely necessary, she will not consider it.
The next thing is to find the person who sent him the letter. Deputy Ambassador Mai would rather believe that he is a kind-hearted person with a righteous heart, but he does not rule out that he is a traitor who intends to cause chaos. No matter what, he must see him with his own eyes.
Able to take the initiative.
After seeing them, they divided their opinions. If it is confirmed that the person has good intentions, then the two troublemakers from Qingtian Temple must be sent away. It is best to let them get out of the city early so as not to harm the righteous man. If that person has evil intentions,
He wanted to take precautions. He pointed himself towards Nancheng. How could he know that he was trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain and stir up trouble in other places?
Then, clean up the devil's cave...
Three days, three days! The time is too short!
Moreover, the people in the Prosecution Department cannot move, she is the only one who can do things, and her strength is weak. If possible, she has to plan and recruit a group of people.
Unknowingly, Deputy Mai walked to a large house. The shape of this house was different. It was not a house, but a temple.
"Dongjun Temple——"
Deputy Mai's heart suddenly moved and he thought of something.
Suddenly, she felt something in her heart and turned around and shouted: "Come out!"
There was silence all around, and Deputy Mai sneered: "Hidden in the alley of the well. Do you think I'm deceiving you? Get out, or you will be cornered in this dragnet."
Someone in the alley sighed and said, "Sister Mai, I saw you again."
A handsome young man came out of the alley. Deputy Mai was surprised and said: "Ah Zhao...why are you here?"
Tang Zhao was also helpless - lucky stack? That's it?
He stacked them as much as possible, first the lucky bag, then the good luck spring in the One Hundred and Eight Springs, and then the rosy light of the Yanggu Sword. Each of them added luck, and he went out for a walk only when he was full of luck.
As a result, he bumped into Mai Shigure.
Well, running into Mai Shigure is not bad luck, right?
It's just too fast.
In order to avoid trouble, Tang Zhao and Jiang Shenyi planned to go out to sweep the streets at night. They divided into two groups and went in two directions to try their luck. Among them, Tang Zhao walked randomly with his eyes closed and followed the guidance of luck. He just turned two alleys.
Being blocked by Mai Shiyu, it was as if he had come specifically to block him.
At this time, Tang Zhao explained: "Isn't the time approaching? I plan to come and find out where the devil's cave is."
Mai Shiyu asked curiously: "You also know how to do Tianyan? Do you know where the devil's cave is?"
Tang Zhaoqian smiled and said: "I don't know how, I just looked for it randomly." Seeing Mai Shiyu looking at him with strange eyes, he hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Sister Mai, you went out on the street late at night, do you have any clues? What do you have?
Wherever you need me, you must speak up. Otherwise, I will not be sorry for the friendship we had when we fought side by side."
Mai Shiyu looked at Tang Zhao again and realized that he had grown taller than himself. His childishness was hard to detect in the dark night, but he actually looked like an upright adult. He said, "I do have a clue. It's a very difficult thing. It won't matter if it's done."
It’s a great achievement, but if it goes wrong, it will lead to great disaster. Do you still want to get involved?”
Tang Zhao said: "Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
Deputy Ambassador Mai said: "Of course it is a good thing. It is a good thing to do for the people."
Tang Zhao said: "Then why are you hesitating? Sister Mai gives the order."
Mai Shiyu smiled with relief and said: "Okay, if you don't let me transfer people, won't I be able to find like-minded companions? Come with me."
The two of them walked to a remote alley, which was quiet and deserted in the dark night. Without any delay, Mugi Shigure told everything about what happened during the day.
Tang Zhao pondered and said, "Sister Mai was pondering in front of Dongjun Temple just now. Did you have an idea?"
Mai Shiyu nodded and said: "I have an idea. The imperial court has respected Dongjun since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the Dongjun Temple has been built in Zhaocheng for a hundred years. The people still believe in it, and there are dozens of Dongjun temples in the city, especially in Nancheng.
More. If the nearby Dongjun Temple holds an event, people can move out of their homes and gather in the temple to escape the disaster. There are only two or three days left, so don’t think about saving your property and just escape with your life."
Tang Zhao said: "This is a good idea." Although it is not perfect, it is already a good idea when he thought of it in a hurry. As Mai Shiyu said, when there is a sinister disaster, saving your life is the most important thing. To be honest,
Given the efficiency of the imperial court, if the evacuation was carried out in accordance with the standard of avoiding disasters and just coordinating various chores, the trip might not be possible in two or three days. If the force was excessive, something bad might happen, and it would be faster to cheat.
Mai Shiyu said: "But the event is not held just because it is said to be held. There is no preparation at all now. There are only a few veteran Taoists in Dongjun Temple. The hasty event may be extremely crude. How can we attract so many people without arousing suspicion?
?You can’t hold a big show for several days in a row, right? There are people who don’t like going to the theater.”
Tang Zhao thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter. If you don't have a show, you will just stick to it."
Mai Shiyu said "Huh?", and Tang Zhao said: "Sister Mai, do you still remember the sword 'Nothing to Ask for'?"
Mai Shiyu's eyes lit up and he said: "It was taught by Shengyue... That swordsmanship is very useful. It can attract people's attention and no one can leave. But... you can make a magic weapon?"
Tang Zhao nodded and said: "Of course. I can do it."
He had used the Wuwu sword several times in Jianzhou, and it was very useful. Fu sword masters and even Kunjian could not ignore the swordsmanship of Wuwu. As long as the people entered the temple, how could they be distracted? They just stared at the magic weapon in a daze, and gathered a group of people.
Two days is also a breeze.
Mai Shiyu said happily: "That's great. We only need a few people to lead the people there, and it doesn't matter if they recite sutras all day long. But if you have to control the people's eating, drinking, and diarrhea, well, it doesn't matter. Dongjun Temple is the fattest.
In the past, they ate from the people's offerings and kept a lot of reserves. It's their turn to repay the people."
Tang Zhao said: "Sister Mai, is there anyone you can trust? Although there are magic tools to help, someone still needs to keep an eye on Dongjun Temple during the whole process just in case."
Mai Shiyu pursed her lips and said, "Yes..." But they were from the District Investigation Department. The guard did not allow her to use people from the District Investigation Department.
Tang Zhao said: "If it doesn't work, let me do it, or maybe my senior brother can do it."
Mai Shiyu said: "You two, it's a bit of a waste. Let me think about it again..." She was planning and said: "There are also two guys from Qingtian Temple, they are also in the way."
Tang Zhao said: "How about we be sent out?"
Mai Shiyu said: "Fapai...ah, you?!"
Tang Zhao said: "I have a very good relationship with Master Xing." So the Biuan Sword is also in my sword manual!
Mai Shiyu's mood turned from cloudy to clear, as if he was relieved of his shackles and felt very happy, saying, "Ah, it's so great to have a friend who is a Fu Sword Master! There is only one thing left now, go find that Tianyan master."
Tang Zhao was thinking about swordsmanship, and Mai Shiyu said: "You don't have to worry about this, I'll do it."
After that, draw your sword.
A flower tree bloomed in the dark night. The flower tree was full of flowers, half red and half white. There were actually fruits falling under the flowers, half of which were black plums and the other half were lovely red and white peaches.
"Taoli...Taoli Fangfei, that's it."
Mai Shiyu said: "That's right. My sword elephants are peaches and plums." After saying that, he picked up the sword technique and said, "Sword skills - peaches and plums are silent!"
The peach and plum tree shook slightly, and countless petals rotated in the air. Gradually, a footprint appeared in front of the peach and plum tree.
The footprints flashed for a moment, then extinguished themselves, and another footprint appeared just a short distance away, as if a transparent person was stepping forward.
Mai Shiyu said: "Follow this footprint."
Tang Zhao was very surprised and asked: "The peach and plum trees do not say anything, but they make their own mistakes. Are they automatically finding their way?" This swordsmanship is also very effective. Bring it over.
Mai Shiyu said: "Well, there must be a clue. The clue has been destroyed. Fortunately, my sword can still remember his breath."
The two of them followed the steps forward. Not far away, they were also in the Nancheng area. They turned into a small street and reached the end.
Tang Zhao entered a street, and before he even saw the footsteps coming to the end, he was already staring at a house.
No need to ask, it’s right there!
Sure enough, the footsteps stopped at the door of this house.
Mai Shiyu stood in front of the house, looked at the tile-roofed house, and pondered: "Isn't this house a little strange? It's different from other houses."
Tang Zhaodao: "This house is not a common one in Yunzhou. It seems to be... the style of Youzhou."
Youzhou and Yunzhou are both in the north of China, not far from each other. The styles of the houses are so similar that Mai Shiyu couldn't tell them apart for a while. Tang Zhao was not an architectural expert, but when he saw this house, he suddenly thought of a person,
You can immediately recognize the difference in this house.
Mai Shiyu motioned to Tang Zhao to stay aside in case of an unexpected incident. He knocked on the door and said, "Is anyone at home? Someone destined to visit is here."
There was a knock on the door, and a middle-aged scholar with a dull appearance opened the door. He looked calm and said, "As expected, Deputy Ambassador Mai is here to visit. Please come in. I have been waiting for a long time."
When Tang Zhao saw this person, his heart dropped. It turned out to be Zhang Rong!
