When Zhao Zheng escorted the two important criminals back to Bailong County, it was already completely bright. The bright sunshine enveloped the whole city and shone on everyone's face, making most people's faces look radiant.
After an interrogation last night, Zhao Zheng had asked Xiao Wutong and Tian Yu for the confession he wanted. The most important confession was Tian Yu's general description of the two women he finally captured. This description
It completely matches the situation of Princess Zhaoli, which means that the people he arrested are the master and servant of Princess Zhaoli!
This news can be described as a mixture of good and bad news. The good news is that Princess Zhaoli has finally found her whereabouts, but the bad news is that the two princesses have fallen into the hands of Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice. The situation is not optimistic.
The top priority now is to rescue Princess Zhaoli as soon as possible to prevent the situation from becoming more serious. If Princess Zhaoli makes a mistake or is killed by Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice, then the current emperor will definitely be very angry. Many people will be affected by this.
been implicated.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng became even more anxious. Carrying Tian Yu who was tied tightly in his hands, the two of them flew towards the Bailong County Yamen with flying steps, attracting countless gazes along the way.
When they arrived at the Yamen, Zhao Zheng immediately called out Wang Wei's official title, wishing he could tell Wang Wei what he knew immediately and lead his army to kill Ye Zhiqiu's lair, the Sun and Moon Palace.
When the people in the yamen heard the sound, they immediately responded. Several guards in royal robes came out to greet them, but Wang Wei was not among them.
Zhao Zheng quickly asked about Wang Wei's whereabouts, and got some not-so-good news.
Wang Wei probably found some clues and has been running around and never came back. As for the specific time of his return, no one can tell clearly.
Without Wang Wei, things would be in trouble.
Zhao Zheng himself is not Ye Zhiqiu's opponent at all. The rest of the Jin Yiwei and the government officials are also unable to deal with Ye Zhiqiu. Without the leadership of the tenth level of heavenly warriors, it would be difficult to break through the Sun and Moon Palace, let alone rescue Princess Zhaoli.
Faced with this situation, there are two choices. One is to wait for Wang Wei to come back, and the other is to go directly to rescue people.
The first choice will take a long time. If Princess Zhaoli makes a mistake during this period, things will get out of hand. In the end, she will still have to bite the bullet and run to save people.
Without Wang Wei, he could only find other helpers. Zhao Zheng thought about it again and again, and thought of Qin Xiaoying. This person's strength is comparable to Wang Wei's, and he is inseparable from this matter, so he will definitely help.
Zhao Zheng made up his mind, handed over Tian Yu and the old mute to the custody of Jin Yiwei, and then rushed to the local jail to ask for a meeting with Qin Xiaoying.
At Wang Wei's insistent request, Qin Xiaoying was sent to prison as a scapegoat, and her life was not very good now. Before Zhao Zheng arrived, she had been walking around in the prison with a look of depression and worry on her face.
.
After the meeting, Zhao Zheng told Qin Xiaoying what he knew, but the latter did not fully believe it after hearing it.
"You mean Princess Zhaoli was caught by human traffickers and then sold to master Ye Zhiqiu? How is this possible? Ye Zhiqiu is a famous hero in Nanshan Province. He has done more good deeds than I have ever stolen.
There are still many things. How could he do such a thing as buying and selling people? This is really unbelievable." Qin Xiaoying frowned.
"You look like a flower, and you are graceful and charming. If you only looked at your appearance, who would have thought that you are a famous thief? You can't just look at the surface in everything. You know people and faces, but you don't know the heart. Ye Zhiqiu is a hero on the surface, but what he does secretly is...
It's a wicked thing." Zhao Zheng explained.
Every woman likes to be praised, and Qin Xiaoying is no exception. She smiled when she heard this, her attitude changed, and she said, "Just because of what you said, I will believe you for once, and you will lead me first."
Go and see the two traffickers, I will listen to their confessions and then make a plan."
"Okay, come with me." Zhao Zheng pointed towards the door and made a gesture of invitation.
Qin Xiaoying walked to the cell door, stretched out her smooth palm, and flicked the lock. The lock broke in two pieces, and each fell to the ground. This seemingly solid cell door, for her,
It's no different from paper.
Originally, Wang Wei did not allow Qin Xiaoying to leave the prison privately. Once he left, he would be treated as a prison escape. But things should be prioritized. In this emergency situation, Wang Wei's words obviously have no binding force on Qin Xiaoying. If Princess Zhaoli can be kept intact,
After being rescued without any damage, Qin Xiaoying no longer has to worry about what Wang Wei will say.
Zhao Zheng and Qin Xiaoying set off for the prison where Tian Yu and the old mute were imprisoned. When they saw Tian Yu's charred and embarrassed appearance, Qin Xiaoying couldn't help but laugh. It was rare to see people who were injured like this.
Prior to this, Zhao Zheng had tidied up Tian Yu and the two of them. They did not dare to hide anything and once again explained their crimes and what they knew to Qin Xiaoying.
After listening to Tian Yu's confession, Qin Xiaoying finally made up her mind to take action and decided to take a risk and break into the Sun and Moon Palace of Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice.
This matter is no small matter, even people like Qin Xiaoying do not dare to act rashly, but must make a decision before taking action.
Qin Xiaoying discussed it with Zhao Zheng and made a detailed plan. After confirming that it was foolproof, she started to implement it.
She showed her badge as an errand in the palace, used her official status, and made corresponding arrangements for the royal guards in the yamen. She divided the royal guards into three waves, one stayed behind, one went to deliver a message to Wang Wei, and the other
Bo moves with her.
Zhao Zheng wished he could kill Ye Zhiqiu first and then quickly, so naturally he had to personally participate in the rescue operation. With his current strength, he could indeed be of considerable help.
Calculated, the overall strength of their group should be higher than that of master and apprentice Ye Zhiqiu. There were only master and apprentice Ye Zhiqiu in the Sun and Moon Palace at that time, and there were no other experts in charge. With their lineup, they could still cope with it.
Several figures flew towards Nanmen County at extremely fast speeds, sometimes disturbing the birds in the forest, causing groups of birds to fly high into the air and disappear from the sky.
"Ye Zhiqiu, your end is coming soon." Zhao Zheng murmured in his heart.
…
In a training room of the Sun and Moon Palace, Ye Zhiqiu sat cross-legged, eyes tightly closed, stimulating two completely different internal forces in the body, running slowly through the meridians. These two internal forces are one yin and one yang, one cold and one cold.
The heat combined with each other in his body, causing his skin to turn half blue and half red, which was very strange.
The red masculine inner force comes from his body, and the blue feminine inner force comes from those innocent women who died.
This is the domineering point of the dual body cultivation technique. This technique is designed to fully stimulate the practitioner's masculine inner strength. It is supplemented by the feminine inner strength harvested from women. One yin and one yang complement each other and work together.
Fusion of a more powerful inner force of ice and fire. This inner force of ice and fire has both masculine and feminine characteristics. When activated, it can be hard or soft, with endless changes.
Ye Zhiqiu's talent is actually quite average, he is average at most. If he hadn't relied on this body-seizing double-* practice to replenish the Yin Yuan in women's bodies, he would never have achieved what he has today. If he was practicing ordinary
The mental skills of martial arts can only reach the seventh level at most, so how can he be ranked among the second-rate masters like he is now.
The two lights on Ye Zhiqiu's body suddenly flickered. It was as if it had reached a certain limit, and then gradually faded and returned to silence. He slowly opened his eyes, with joy flashing in his eyes. After this practice, his cultivation level has improved again.
I have improved a lot and am closer to the tenth heaven realm.
Tenth Heaven!
This is the dream that many warriors pursue throughout their lives. Once you become a warrior of this level, you will have everything at your fingertips, whether it is fame, wealth or beauty. With this level of martial arts, you can become an official and become a noble, and you can start a clan and establish a sect.
According to one's own likes and dislikes.
But compared with these things, Ye Zhiqiu valued something else more.
"After reaching the tenth heaven, my lifespan will increase again, so that I can live for a few more decades. In these few decades, maybe I can make further progress and reach the eleventh level.
It would be even more wonderful to reach the Chongtian realm." Ye Zhiqiu twirled his beard with his hands, smiled and muttered a few words to himself, looking very proud of himself.
The older people get, the more afraid of death they become. No one is immune to this. Young people cannot understand this desire to prolong life. Only the elderly will have this unprecedentedly strong desire.
After feeling happy, Ye Zhiqiu stood up and walked out of the room.
Kong Yunjie happened to be in the corridor at this time. When he saw Master finishing his practice, he quickly stepped forward to salute and asked, "How is Master's practice going?"
"My master is one step closer to the tenth heaven. I have already stepped half of my foot into the threshold of the tenth heaven." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile.
"In order to break through the final bottleneck, I still need a lot of women. The women I just bought are not enough. You leave tomorrow and buy ten or eight more women for me."
"Master, when I was trading with Xiao Wutong last time, I got a piece of news. Jin Yiwei is currently investigating the disappearance of a woman, and the news is very close. My apprentice is weak, so it is best not to come forward to deal with such things recently. I
It's nothing if something goes wrong, but I'm afraid it will delay your cultivation plan." Kong Yunjie bowed and declined.
"Well, be careful. Since you have such concerns, don't go out. After these women are used up, I will trade with Xiao Wutong myself. With my ability, even if there is an accident during the transaction
, I can handle it myself." Ye Zhiqiu nodded, but did not blame his apprentice for this. He has always taught his apprentice to be cautious, and his actions were just what he wanted. If Kong Yunjie was that reckless
The young man, he had already stabbed him to death with his sword.
"Master, more than two years ago, when the competition for Zichu Sword just ended, you promised to help me deal with Zhao Zheng and wash away the humiliation I suffered in the arena. Do you still remember this?" Kong Yunjie's eyes flashed.
He asked tentatively with a trace of unnoticeable hatred.
More than two years have passed, and he still has not forgotten this old grudge. In this world, the person he hates the most is Zhao Zheng. He was originally the proud man in the world, but this halo was taken away by Zhao Zheng.
, and it also caused him to lose face in front of the people of the world. No matter how many years he has, he can't swallow this tone. He wishes he could kill Zhao Zheng first and then quickly. Now that his master is in a happy mood, it is the perfect time to mention this matter.
Of course he couldn't let it go.
"When did I forget what I promised you? It's been more than two years. Now, even if we secretly murder Zhao Zheng, no one will doubt us, master and disciple, anymore, so we don't have to worry about it.
After I successfully break through the bottleneck and become a tenth-level heavenly martial artist, I will take care of this matter for you. That Zhao Zheng doesn’t know how high the sky is and how dare he beat you in the ring. I will definitely make him pay the price with blood. What happens then?
Deal with him. It's all up to you. You can live if you want him to live, or die if you want him to die!" Ye Zhiqiu's eyes were slightly cold and he sneered.
Kong Yunjie was overjoyed when he heard this. He thanked his master repeatedly, his face burst into laughter, and in his mind, he hatched many poisonous plans to torture Zhao Zheng. Ordinary people could not even think of these poisonous plans.
…
At noon, the sun shines brightly.
Several figures flew through the air at an astonishing speed, like sharp arrows leaving the string.
"Stop!" A clear voice sounded, and when the voice settled, several people in the air stopped in unison.
The person who spoke was Qin Xiaoying, and she was now the leader among this group of people.
"With so many of us entering the city, it is easy to alert the enemy. You stay here and wait for my news. I will go in alone and rescue Princess Zhaoli. Only when Princess Zhaoli is safe can we attack the Sun and Moon Palace with great fanfare," Qin Xiaoying ordered.
.
This was exactly the plan that everyone had made before. There was nothing to object to. Everyone nodded. Their faces were very nervous and solemn.
The matter was so important that even people like Qin Xiaoying felt the pressure of Mount Tai, which made her breathless.
"It's his grandma's. This is a bit similar to what happened when I entered the palace to steal treasures." Qin Xiaoying cursed and flew forward, more than twice as fast as when she was walking with everyone.
The rest of the people stayed where they were and hid in the woods, blending in with nature. If you didn't look carefully, you could hardly see them.
Qin Xiaoying galloped all the way, and when she was about to reach Nanmen County, she slowed down, climbed over the wall and jumped in. She had been here before when she was wandering around the world, but she had never visited Ye Zhiqiu. She didn't know
Where is the residence of this "hero"? Fortunately, such a trivial matter could not trouble her. Based on past experience, she went directly to the most prosperous and prosperous neighborhood in the county, asked people about it, and successfully found it.
Find out where Ye Zhiqiu lives.
On the surface, this is just a slightly larger house, nothing out of the ordinary. Most martial arts masters are wealthy people, so there is nothing wrong with living in a stylish house, but it is unusual to live in a small house.
Qin Xiaoying pretended to be nonchalant and walked around the house, using both her celestial and human senses and her five senses to get a feel for the situation in the house. Zhao Zheng claimed that there was a palace called the Sun and Moon Palace underground here.
There is an underground palace, but she failed to sense it. There are two possibilities, either Zhao is talking nonsense, or the underground palace is built very deep and beyond the range of the warrior's perception.
No matter what the truth is, she has entered this dragon's pond and tiger's den today and has no choice.
When there was no one around, she climbed over the wall and jumped into the yard, tiptoeing towards a house. Her reputation as a thief was not unshakable. Whether it was breaking into a house or picking a lock to open the door, she could do it all with ease. Zhao Zheng had given her the gift before.
Some hints gave the approximate location of the entrance to the underground palace, so she didn't need to search from house to house.
She quietly sneaked into Huanglong, avoiding the eyes and ears of several servants in the courtyard, and directly arrived at the room where the entrance to the underground palace was, picked the door lock, and broke in.
According to Zhao Zheng, the entrance to the secret room is under the table in the room. After moving the table, the mechanism will naturally be triggered, causing the entrance to flash out.
Qin Xiaoying found the table in the room and checked under it. Sure enough, she found a circle of unusual traces, which seemed to be left behind when the trap was activated. Any trap will always leave such traces
.
"There's a way to do this!" The goddess' heart jumped. She moved the table away according to the method explained by Zhao Zheng. The mechanism on the ground was touched and opened with a creak, revealing a secret passage leading underground.
.
This secret passage is bottomless, and it is not known how deep it is. At such a depth, it can indeed block the perception of heaven and humans by the tenth level of heavenly warriors.
The Tao is as high as the devil. No matter what ability is limited, there is always a way to break it.
Qin Xiaoying relied on her skill and boldness. After seeing this secret passage, not only was she not afraid, but she became eager to try it. She is a courageous woman, otherwise she would not have had the courage to sneak into the palace to steal treasures. According to many years of experience,
From experience, she knew that the more agile her hands and feet were when doing this kind of thing, the better. If she delayed her mother, it would be easy to reveal her flaws. She jumped down the secret passage and landed on the ground like a feather, and then started exploring the surroundings of the underground palace.
This underground palace is quite large and has many rooms. One of them had the loudest breathing sound, which quickly attracted Qin Xiaoying's attention.
Qin Xiaoying walked all the way to the room with the loudest breathing and found a thick iron door at the door. Without saying anything, she took out a set of lockpicking tools and started tinkering with the iron door. The lock of this iron door was quite complicated.
, it took her a lot of effort to open the lock.
Taking a deep breath, she pushed open the iron door and looked intently into the house.
I saw seven women lying or sleeping in the room, including Princess Zhaoli and Xiaoyun.
Seeing that these two people were intact, a stone hanging in Qin Xiaoying's heart finally fell to the ground.
"Thank God." Qin Xiaoying secretly sighed, raised her hand, and flicked six times at the six women in the room. Six internal forces flew out and hit the acupuncture points on the six women with lightning speed.
It didn't hit Princess Zhaoli's acupuncture point alone.
