Looking south to Buzhou, Xiadu poured out the soup.
"It's really not a big deal. It was probably just a mistake. The dead guy might have gone on vacation somewhere. There is no point in our stalemate here."
"If I did it, I don't have to deny it - after all, you can't do anything to me, but if I casually admit to something I haven't done, I will be discrediting Jie Jiao."
"Okay, but we'll come back when we find further evidence."
Zhao Gongming originally thought that protecting Shang Junzilu would be a very easy job, but he was inadvertently involved in a bizarre incident in which a heavenly soldier was killed.
That was a heavenly soldier who was stationed in the city and had contact with the human minister Guan Longfeng. His main task was to collect information about the Xia Dynasty affairs in the city and pass them on to the general who patrolled the sky when the heaven needed to know.
If so, I would give them a copy directly. After all, it is not important or confidential information. Collecting it is just tedious and time-consuming.
And this heavenly soldier was killed after handing the information to the real Huanglong who returned to the heaven. Moreover, the few mortals around the incident site were all affected by some kind of magical power, and none of them moved in that direction at the same time.
Look, I don’t know anything.
Logically speaking, this is not a big deal. After all, after the heavenly soldier dies, he will be resurrected in the Hall of Valor in heaven. At that time, you can just ask who killed him. But what is unexpected is that the heavenly soldier has no idea at all.
How he died can only prove that the murderer was unwilling to expose his identity and had another purpose in killing the heavenly soldier.
As soon as this incident came out, all the heavenly soldiers from ten miles and eight villages around Zhenhu were aroused. After all, the King of Xia never plundered the villages under his jurisdiction, and these heavenly soldiers on duty were quite leisurely.
Zhao Gongming originally wanted to watch the fun and occasionally pay attention to their progress, but after the heavenly soldiers came to the preliminary conclusion, he stopped watching - because he himself was identified as the murderer.
The reason is also very simple: Zhao Gongming was the only person present at the time who had the strength to do this.
The "evidence" mentioned by these heavenly soldiers is only the specific route Zhao Gongming took when he escorted Zilu and his party to the Xia capital.
The behavior of the Golden-winged Dapeng and the Golden Light Virgin killing the robbers along the way became evidence of his bloodthirsty, especially the fact that there were heavenly soldiers among them was eventually revealed, forming a new motive: "Because the heavenly soldiers can be resurrected."
So I kill them casually for fun."
He didn't think it was any fun at all!
At the end of the matter, the heavenly soldiers seemed to have concluded that Zhao Gongming had done this, and the reason for coming to him from time to time was not so much to inquire but to urge him to confess.
Therefore, this class of heavenly soldiers is really not good. Just a few experienced people will know that in addition to the "God of Wealth", they are also Emperor Yan, Shennong, and Fuxi. It is impossible for such a ridiculous situation to happen, but it is a pity.
They have all been recruited by Coach Jie.

"...Ha." Zhao Gongming sighed as he watched the heavenly soldiers push open the door and leave. The people sent by the heavenly court to monitor this dynasty have slacked off to such an extent. Are they confident or arrogant?
This house was used by King Xia to "house arrest" Lord Shang. Although the immortals who had been transformed into guards did not need rooms, they still rested in these houses for reasons of concealment, but the conditions were...
"Squeak——"
Not long after the heavenly soldiers left, Our Lady of Golden Light secretly pushed open a crack in the door, poked her head in and looked around, then officially opened the door. Her silver hair on top of her head jumped up and down and raised her hand to greet Zhao Gongming: "Yo ho~"
"Hey, what the hell..." Zhao Gongming casually set up a soundproof barrier, "What did you find? Tell me about it."
"Huh? What did you find? I just came to say hello-" The Golden Lady began to twist her black and white plaid skirt.
"Haha, if the food disappears for no reason, just look for Taotie. If the conflict occurs for no reason, it must be Qiongqi's doing." Zhao Gongming looked at the Golden Lady and said with great certainty: "I can take the initiative to show up and distract them.
Attention bait, but don’t think of me as a fool, tell me, what did you find out about this pour?”
"The situation of the human race is pretty much as expected," Our Lady of Golden Light stopped joking slightly: "King Xia and some of his ministers just had the idea of taking advantage of Lord Shang, and even began to plan for the wealth that they had not yet obtained.
Purpose, the military attachés had no special attitude towards him, after all, they needed more than just money, while the civil servants quietly submitted a letter asking the King of Xia to remove the enfeoffment from the Lord Shang and make them 'Queen Merchant'."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Zhao Gongming shook his head, "These civil servants are much more ruthless than King Xia."
"However, King Xia vetoed the matter on the grounds of 'Doesn't that mean I have to pay for them?' The civil servants were very angry but they had no choice." Our Lady of Golden Light touched her chin, "In the end, he should be called smart.
Or stupid?"
"It's the predator's intuition. I felt that if I did this, the other party would fight tooth and nail, so I backed down." Zhao Gongming said.
"Hmm..." Our Lady of Golden Light nodded: "In addition, Lord Shang is right that he is worried that someone will kill him, but it is not King Xia who wants to kill him, but those 'businessmen who are not businessmen' in Zhenlu. There is not enough time to investigate.
There are too many, at least the guys in the few fixed markets ordered by King Xia all have this intention, but they have not yet started to implement it."
"Haha... colleagues are enemies, especially those who have a serious impact on me." Zhao Gongming looked outside the house in the direction of the nearest market.
"The residents in the city are slightly friendly towards Mr. Shang, probably because he killed bandits along the way," Our Lady of Golden Light pointed back at the door: "And because he took the initiative to stay here and never went out, the servants and the pair of sisters who accompanied the team
No matter how they came in and out, or even left the city, they did not arouse the vigilance of the Xia Dynasty guards, so their contact with the Shang Kingdom has not been interrupted, and they can easily send out the information of Zhenxiu. Haha, if they finally win against Xia Dynasty,
I’m not surprised at all.”
"In addition, regarding this city," Our Lady of Golden Light showed a strange expression like a predator discovering its prey: "They are sitting in the crater of the volcano that is about to erupt without knowing it. It is only with great perseverance that I did not find an opportunity to add one
Set fire to it and explode it directly."
"Well...those slaves, right?" Zhao Gongming almost immediately thought of the reason: "The King of Xia may be pretty good to his own people, but he does not include the foreigners who were plundered and became slaves."
"Under the arguments of the 369th and 9th-century Chan Cults, they currently only have the Western religion's 'theory of the afterlife' as their hope, and if this hope is dashed, hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe after afterlife theory" as the hope.
As expected, Qiongqi is the one who likes to start fights the most...
