The Tongyang River flows around Zhongtian Mansion and is the natural moat of this century-old city.
Most of the city walls and high-rise buildings in the city can overlook the vast river. At dusk, the setting sun shines on the river, and the golden light seems to be flowing with endless gold. It is a wonderful scene. "Tongyang Evening Shine" is also famous in Zhongtianfu.
One of the eight scenic spots.
There is a tall building in the headquarters of the Prosecution and Prefecture Division called "Zhao Jian Building", which allows you to view the Tongyang River in the west as far as the eye can see.
Marquis Gao Yuan has been standing alone on the top floor for a long time.
There was no one around her. Tang Zhao, who was closest to her, was standing at the entrance of the attic stairs, separated from her by a fence. Her white hair could only be faintly seen through the cracks in the railing.
She is looking at the river.
What else did she see?
Because she is Gao Yuanhou, she has a pair of eyes that can see through autumn water, so it is possible to see anything.
Tang Zhao knew that her eyes had passed through the mighty river and looked under the land of Yunzhou, looking for the crucial Golden Crow Sword. Although this news was brought by Tang Zhao, if Gao Yuanhou scanned all
Thousands of miles of thick soil, there is no Golden Crow Sword at all, even if Tang Zhao's troubles are in vain, he will be very happy in his heart.
Unfortunately luck did not come.
Suddenly, I heard Marquis Gao Yuan say: "Tang Zhao, come in."
Tang Zhao turned around the grille and saw Gao Yuanhou standing by the fence, his eyes slightly squinted, and his eye sockets seemed to be a little red, as if he had been reading a book in the dim light for a long time, and his eyes were so dry that they shed tears.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Tang Zhao felt that this old woman, who still had an elegant posture, looked a little older.
Before Tang Zhao could salute, Gao Yuanhou said: "Ah Zhao, you have to study the teleportation talisman formation carefully. I will ask your master to come over and study it with you. If you need help from anyone else, I will write a letter, or you can contact me yourself. What do you want?
I'm here to help you with the paperwork, but it's good to have a little more assurance."
Tang Zhao's heart sank, knowing that Marquis Gao Yuan had confirmed the whereabouts of the Golden Crow Sword, he agreed and said: "This shouldn't be a problem with the talisman. I don't think Master can help. If I ask outsiders, I'm afraid of leaking the secret. Where am I going?
Long Yuan borrowed some classics to study."
Marquis Gao Yuan nodded and said: "It is true that you cannot mention it to outsiders. It is also not advisable to notify the front line to prevent leaks of secrets and attract irrelevant people. Now the pressure is only on you. The research here needs manpower, and..."
She continued: "If the teleportation array is ineffective, you may really need to go there in person. Then in addition to yourself, you will also need helpers around you. I will try my best to prepare some candidates for you, and you can take them away after you see them suitable. You don't have to worry too much
, you can choose anyone, they are all warriors like you who are not afraid of hardships."
Tang Zhao was slightly stunned. He was keenly aware that after this inspection, Marquis Gao Yuan seemed not to be optimistic that the teleportation array could be activated. She took the initiative to ask Tang Zhao to prepare to go into the water. Could it be that he saw something underground? He said: "Yes. I
I will make two preparations, study formations and prepare for diving. As for the helper...if there is a suitable person, I can take him with him."
But he is not optimistic about it.
Approaching an unknown swordsman is not a matter of courage and consciousness. If you have the courage, can you hit an egg against a stone? Or, if you have the courage, can you hit a soap bubble against a stone?
If a flesh-and-blood body wants to be close to the sun, it must at least be immune to the damage of the sun, right? Can Yunzhou find another person like this?
In addition to him, it would be enough to add Xiang Yangzi at most.
Marquis Gao Yuan explained a few more words and said: "As soon as possible. If we can uproot these turtle bandits and tell them to stop their conspiracy, you will have more time. But after all, it is a personal problem that must be solved sooner or later. If we can't kill the turtle bandits, , there is really not much time left. Mr. Zhang is looking for the classics?"
Tang Zhaodao: "He went to collect information about Dongjun and the Golden Crow Sword. I'm afraid I might have made some omissions in such a big matter, and I still need guidance from my husband. After he has sorted out the classics, I will make a tentative call first."
Marquis Gao Yuan hummed, and Tang Zhao couldn't help but ask: "What state did you see the Golden Crow Sword in?"
Marquis Gao Yuan sighed: "I don't know either. All I can see is strong light and powerful energy - that's a power I can't imagine. It's ridiculous. I think I'm well-informed, but I really saw this with my own eyes. Only with the strength can you realize that your own knowledge is still too small.”
She pondered: "But it seems that your judgment is right. Except for the sword, it is impossible for any sword immortal to release such energy for a long time. Not even the sword force. But the light is too stable, like the light in the sky The sun is as stable. If it was conscious, wouldn't it fluctuate with changes in its mind? It's so stable, even if it's conscious, it's probably dormant."
Although having autonomous consciousness would make the sword elusive, Gao Yuanhou still hoped that it would be intelligent, because then normal communication and even transactions would be possible, and a peaceful resolution could be possible, allowing the Golden Crow Sword to leave Yunzhou on its own. But If there is no independent consciousness, then the only thing left is head-on confrontation. If there is no equal power, I really don’t know how to suppress the Golden Crow Sword?
Everything in front of us is unknown, and we can only hope that "the ship will straighten out when it reaches the bridge."
At that moment, Tang Zhao put on the new military attache uniform prepared by the Prosecution Department and participated in a mobilization meeting as a personal guard of Marquis Gao Yuan.
The meeting venue is located in the "Xuanjing Pavilion" on the second floor of Zhaojian Building. It is also a high-rise building with a view of the water. It is open on all sides and can be seen at a glance. With the curtains drawn, you can only see the outside from the inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside. It is suitable for a secret meeting.
This meeting was very secret, and the participants were all people trusted by Marquis Gao Yuan.
After entering Xuanjing Pavilion, Tang Zhao discovered that there were so many swordsmen in Yunzhou.
Gao Yuanhou summoned a total of twelve swordsmen, including company commanders and Xing Ji. These were people she trusted and could be summoned in a short time. Behind every swordsman master were several times the number of swordsman subordinates and more. There are many swordsmen in reserve, not to mention the batches of new students who pass the selection every year, which shows that the strength of the Yunzhou Marquis Mansion is not trivial.
Even though they were all trustworthy people selected by Gao Yuanhou, Gao Yuanhou did not tell the whole story about the Golden Crow Sword. He only said that he had studied the formation and got reliable information. What the turtle bandits planned to deploy in Yunzhou was to be able to destroy the earth. Crush it, causing the underground magma to erupt, turning Yunzhou into a terrifying formation of scorched earth.
This is not a lie. Once the clouds are turned and the sun is revealed, the consequences will be so serious. Compared with the collapse of mountains and the collapse of the ground and the loss of life, the appearance of the Golden Crow Sword is not important to Yunzhou. The swordsmen heard the excitement of the crowd and yelled at the turtle bandits, let alone the turtles. Kou, I wish even the tortoises in Yunzhou were extinct.
Marquis Gao Yuan immediately mobilized his troops and ordered Lieutenant General Yunzhou to blockade the provinces according to the counties, and continued to increase their efforts to hunt down the participating forces of the turtle bandits. The inspection department took each formation node as the center of the circle, and searched out inch by inch. No one was allowed to do so.
If any additional, temporary nodes appear, the Jing'an Department will mobilize all intelligence forces to dig deep into the turtle bandits' hidden stings. If the opportunity is very good, anyone who encounters a suspicious person will be detained first and then screened. It is better to be in vain than to indulge. Even the Prison Department
The power of the demon prison has also been further mobilized. All development plans in the devil prison have been suspended. Only the power that can suppress the Yin Qi is maintained. The rest of the people are mobilized to set up checkpoints in various important roads and block them layer by layer.
In short, the dragnet is super doubled!
Then, Marquis Gao Yuan introduced Tang Zhao.
In fact, Tang Zhao was already very conspicuous when he came out. Most swordsmen didn't recognize him. Only from his appearance, he looked unusually old. He was a swordsman with a very high official rank, so he looked strange.
The formation has made great achievements. In order to commend his talent, he was first given the rank of Third Grade, and then led a group of people to attack the formation of the turtle bandits, destroy the formation, and disintegrate the turtle bandit's conspiracy from the source.
It suddenly dawned on all the swordsmen...it turned out to be a technical post again. That's right. Previously, a swordsmith was promoted as a commander. Now it's not surprising that there is another one who studies formations. Technology is also very popular these days.
…
Wait, are you saying that this young and shameless swordsman still understands formations? Is he also outstanding in academics?
Big brother and big sister, come out and see the gods!
Amid the various attention salutes of the swordsmen, Marquis Gao Yuan gave him a list of swordsmen under various departments who would be selected to follow Tang Zhao to conquer the formation and perform special tasks.
All the swordsmen were a little confused when they looked at the list - the people on this list were their respective subordinates, and some were registered as capable subordinates, but... these guys know shit about formations? Some of them were even out of their minds.
If you don't have enough names, you can't even understand the arithmetic within a hundred, how can you still be arrested to study formations?
This stuff is not something that can be learned in a hurry!
Because everyone took the list of their own families separately, they did not notice that the sword elephants of all the selected swordsmen were biased towards light and flame.
Finally, Marquis Gao Yuan said: "Everyone, let's go back to work. We have worked hard these past few months, and when we settle the matter with the turtle bandits, we will all count as a great achievement. In these two months, everyone must work together, and don't lose big for small things." Tang Zhaoyou
Whatever requirements are required, each department shall give priority to meeting them.”
She specifically mentioned Tang Zhao, which made the swordsmen feel even more strange. However, since all of them were close friends of Marquis Gao Yuan, they naturally obeyed the order solemnly. Seeing that the meeting was about to be dismissed, a gentle female swordsman stood up, who was the commander of Jing'an Division, and reported: "Jun
Marquis, four Dongfeng envoys came to the Tongming Palace in the capital to investigate the matter of Yunzhou's two clones. I don't know how to deal with it?"
Tang Zhao was surprised, why is there still a clone of Geng Liang in Yunzhou? Geng Liang can't help it anymore and wants to counterattack the human world?
How did he know that if it hadn't been for his explosion in Bai Yujing, Yunzhou would not have had two clones.
Marquis Gao Yuan said: "Jing'an Division is following them, don't be alarmed for the moment. If they only track down Wang Liang, if there is any abnormality, they will be detained and secretly sent to Zhongtian Mansion for Mr. Zhang to deal with. In such an emergency period, we must prioritize."
The commander of the Jing'an Division agreed, and then said: "According to wire reports, it is also suspected that someone is smuggling across the front lines..."
Marquis Gao Yuan looked at her - although according to current laws, frontline swordsmen are not allowed to retreat to the human world privately, this kind of thing is always inevitable and happens from time to time. Yunzhou also has a set of procedures for dealing with stowaways, so why should there be a special report?
The commander said softly: "It is suspected that Caiyun Gui, there are two people..."
Marquis Gao Yuan raised his eyebrows - Caiyun Gui was in big trouble when he had to deal with the Golden Crow Sword. He immediately said: "Detain him. You arranged to arrest the person and secretly imprison him in Zhongtian Mansion. If you can't find the person, I will give you the position."
.”
The commander hurriedly said: "I'll do it now." She didn't dare to let Gao Yuanhou give her a position. Although Gao Yuanhou clearly saw thousands of miles, it took a lot of time to find people in the world. She didn't want to work for the prince, and they
His job is to provide intelligence. If the Lord is asked to find someone in person, why should the Jing'an Department do it?
She was just a little confused: Caiyun Gui was a famous troublemaker, but he had little involvement with the human world. Shouldn't he turn a blind eye to it? Why would he take the initiative to detain people? It was easy to detain him temporarily, but contaminating these mad dogs would have endless consequences.
But since Marquis Gao Yuan gave the order, she naturally obeyed and didn't ask any more questions.
After a meeting, everyone went about their business step by step, and Tang Zhao went to recruit his first team in his life.
