In the next half month, Su Yu fished in Zhenwu Division during the day, and teleported to Lingxiao City in the Western Zhou Dynasty at night to collect information about the Ten Thousand Years Blood Ginseng Essence.
It's just that the two thousand-year-old blood ginseng essences seemed to have evaporated from the world, leaving no trace behind.
However, Su Yu vaguely realized that this might be the calm before the storm.
The bad guys, the Hell Gate, and the Nian Organization will definitely not give up and are secretly investigating the whereabouts of these two thousand-year-old blood ginseng essences.
Su Yu's plan is that if there is a chance that the oriole is behind, then go and grab it!
If something can't be done, the only option is to give up.
The premise of everything is to ensure the safety of your own life.
Anyway, if you have immortality, there is no need to obtain the Ten Thousand Years Blood Ginseng Essence to obtain attribute points.
There is a saying that goes well: I am lucky when I gain something, and I am destined when I lose something.
Su Yu does have ideas about Wannian's medicinal materials, but if it puts himself in danger, there is no point in getting it.
As long as he wastes time, he will be able to advance to the soul palace realm sooner or later, but it will be much slower.
It was another early morning. Su Yu got up early, washed himself, dressed neatly, had breakfast in the front yard, and went out in the direction of Zhenwusi.
Arriving at the reception room of Zhenfu Mansion, Sun Xicui had already arrived.
As for the positions of He Bohong and Liang Yuxuan, they are still empty.
The two of them were sent out on a mission by Wei Lianyi half a month ago and have not returned yet.
"Brother Su, good morning."
Seeing Su Yu walking into the living room, Sun Xichui smiled and said hello.
"Good morning, Brother Sun."
Su Yu responded with a smile.
"I really didn't expect that half a month has passed and Brother Liang and Brother He haven't come back yet."
Sun Xichui looked at the positions of Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong and couldn't help but sigh.
"yes."
Su Yu echoed: "We just came back and they were sent out to perform the mission."
Sun Xi smiled and said: "Every July, His Majesty holds a summer hunt. If these two guys don't come back, I guess the burden will only fall on our heads."
"Xia Shou?"
Su Yu couldn't help but be startled and said in confusion.
It had only been a year since he joined the Zhenwu Division, but he didn't remember such an event.
Sun Xicui nodded and said with a wry smile: "Yes, it's Xia Shou."
"It's in the Qingtan Monster Forest, two hundred miles away from Tai'an City."
"This Qingtan Monster Forest is a monster forest divided by the royal family. Every year, a group of monsters are specially released into the monster forest, and then His Majesty will take hundreds of officials to hunt in the coming year to pray for good weather in Kyushu."
"All monsters that are hunted and killed will be rewarded by His Majesty to the officials below."
"And hundreds of officials will also take their families to participate in this summer hunt."
"If you perform well in the summer hunt and get into the top three, you will be rewarded by His Majesty."
"There are even rumors outside that His Majesty is very likely to appoint a candidate for the position of Crown Prince at this year's summer hunt."
"Our Zhenwu Division will maintain order during this summer hunt and prevent the monsters in the Qingtan Monster Forest from escaping to wreak havoc in surrounding towns."
At this point, Sun Xi lowered his brows and cursed: "Made, He Bohong and Liang Yuxuan, these two guys, aren't they just hanging out fishing on purpose and putting all this hard work on us?
"
After hearing what Sun Xicui said, the corner of Su Yu's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Maybe Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong really had such an idea.
Then Su Yu asked some questions about Xia Shou, and Sun Xicui also answered them one by one.
Until the morning sun rose, Wei Lianyi stepped into the living room.
"grown ups."
Su Yu and Sun Xicui stopped chatting, then stood up together, cupped their fists and bowed.
"Um."
Wei Lianyi nodded, and then said slowly: "Just last night, during the investigation, He Bohong accidentally discovered clues about the Hell Gate Hell King, and asked me to come for support!"
"Su Yu, you go with me."
Su Yu heard the words and responded: "Yes."
Now that his cultivation level has been promoted to Yuyue Realm, he has become Wei Lianyi's right-hand man.
On the contrary, Sun Xicui is still in the Iron Bone Realm and has become the one who finally stayed in Tai'an City.
Then Wei Lianyi looked at Sun Xicui again and said: "Sun Xicui, you stay at Zhenwu Division and be responsible for managing the people below."
"Half a month later, the Summer Hunting Meeting will be held as scheduled. You arrange for people to evacuate the people in the villages around Qingtan Monster Forest in advance, and let them go to live in the surrounding towns first, and then return after the Summer Hunting. As for the compensation, it will be as per the previous arrangements.
Just standard.”
Sun Xicui responded: "Yes."
Wei Lianyi looked at Su Yu, and then said: "Su Yu, go back and summon the hundred households under your command, and ask them to go to the warehouse to receive a crossbow each. They will gather at the North City Gate in an hour. This operation will be carried out by riding the Jin Yu Peng.
Go."
"Okay, there's nothing else to do, just go back and do your work."
"yes!"
Su Yu and Sun Xicui both responded, then turned and left the living room.
After walking out of the Zhenfu Mansion, Sun Xicui glanced at Su Yu with a strange expression, and then said: "Brother Su, be careful."
Su Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I will."
He never expected that after the Hell Gate had gone through the uprooting stage, it would sprout up again like mushrooms after a rain.
And he has gone from being a mere follower to becoming the main force against Hell Gate.
"Take care of yourself!"
Sun Xichang patted Su Yu's shoulder, and then walked towards his Qianhu Mansion.
If Wei Lianyi had not arrived just now, he was still scolding Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong for not respecting martial ethics, deliberately fishing outside, and throwing Xia Shou's errands on himself and Su Yu.
Now that I heard that He Bohong had discovered the clues about the King of Hell, taking charge of Xia Shou's affairs has undoubtedly suddenly become a lucrative job.
After all, his main responsibility is to instruct his subordinates to carry out the tasks, so he can still sit back and relax on the Diaoyutai without any worries.
Looking at Sun Xicui's leaving figure, Su Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, never expecting to have to deal with the Hell Gate again.
Only this time, the King of Hell in Jingzhou may have already recovered from his injuries.
Even if Wei Lianyi can use the secret method to temporarily gain the strength of the Hidden Dragon Realm, once the opponent survives her period of strength, the offensive and defensive momentum of both sides will be reversed.
However, considering that Wei Lianyi had an underground weapon in his hand and was planning a sneak attack, his personal strength was far superior to that of the King of Hell.
"After such a long time, I'm afraid Hell Gate has assigned a new Ghost Emperor to the territory of Wei Dynasty, right?"
While walking on the way to his Qianhu Mansion, Su Yu couldn't help but think of the Ghost Emperor Kong Zhentu who was once killed by Song Jingfu.
After such a long time, Hell Gate has not been able to contact Kong Zhentu. Presumably, it must have realized that Kong Zhentu was dead.
"I just don't know if the new Ghost Emperor owns the Kowtow Monument of the Underworld Emperor."
Su Yu looked strange, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"grown ups."
When Su Yu returned to his Qianhu Mansion, the ten members of the Hundred Households under his command all clasped their fists together.
"Um."
Su Yu nodded, then looked around and said, "Master Wei just had a mission. Master He, who went to Tianshu City to perform the mission, accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the Hell Gate Hell King."
"Master Wei summoned me to go together. The ten of you will go back and prepare, then go to the warehouse to get the crossbows and follow me to carry out this mission."
After hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
The King of Hell at the Hell Gate is a warrior at the Hidden Dragon Realm, and the ones with the highest level of cultivation among them are only Iron Bone Realm warriors.
In front of the King of Hell, they almost have no choice but to die.
Seeing everyone's expressions suddenly slump, Su Yu chuckled and said, "Dealing with the King of Hell is definitely not something you can get involved in."
"The most I can do is let you carry crossbows and shoot cold arrows secretly to create obstacles for the King of Hell. As for confronting the King of Hell head-on, it will naturally be supported by Master Wei."
After hearing Su Yu's words, everyone suddenly felt much better.
yes.
With their Iron Bone Realm cultivation, they would not be able to play much role in the battle.
Su Yu waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's all go back and hold a morning meeting for the people below. Then go to the warehouse to collect the crossbows. After an hour, we will gather at the North City Gate. Then we will ride Jin Yupeng to Tianshu City.
.”
"yes."
Everyone responded, then turned around and walked out.
Looking at everyone's retreating figures, Su Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He vaguely felt that something was wrong with this mission, and it was not as simple as imagined.
But I don't know what's wrong.
"After all, Wei Lianyi and I have been married. If she really encounters any danger, I cannot stand by and watch."
"It's just that this way, I managed to 'die'. If I choose to save her, she will immediately know that the incident at Longxuling was just a show."
"And she only brought me to carry out this mission."
"If I try to save her, it will almost inevitably be directed at myself."
"Now we can only take one step at a time."
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh.
An hour later, Su Yu and his ten men from hundreds of households were already waiting quietly at the North City Gate.
"唳~"
With a loud cry, Jin Yupeng, with a wingspan of more than ten feet, landed outside the city gate carrying the beast tamer and Wei Lianyi.
After Su Yuhe's ten hundred households sat down on Jin Yupeng's broad back, Jin Yupeng took a few steps, then suddenly flapped his wings and flew high into the sky.
After about an hour, Jin Yupeng landed a few miles outside Tianshu City.
Under Wei Lianyi's instructions, everyone put on the decorations of martial arts warriors and rushed to Tianshu City on foot to meet up with He Bohong in the city.
In an inn called Caiyun, Su Yu once again met He Bohong, who had been away for half a month.
"grown ups."
After arriving at a private room on the third floor, He Bohong cupped his fists and said.
"Um."
Wei Lianyi nodded and said: "He Bohong, please tell me the specific situation."
"yes."
He Bohong responded: "Your Excellency, you must still remember that the Zhenwu Division once destroyed the Hell Gate in the Yama Hall fifty miles away from Tianshu City."
"As I am currently investigating the Hell Gate assassination case in Lam Son County, I can't help but think of the former Yongfu Temple."
"Then I arranged for people to stay in several towns around Yongfu Temple."
"What surprised Beizhi was that in Feiyun Town, just ten miles away from Yongfu Temple, a Baihu under Beizhi accidentally discovered the Hell Gate's stronghold in the Yama Hall!"
"After a humble investigation, Hell Gate should be preparing to set up a new Yama Hall in Feiyun Town."
"And in Feiyun Town, after a humble investigation, we accidentally discovered the traces of the King of Hell. He is currently disguised as the housekeeper of Mr. Li's wife's family in Feiyun Town."
Su Yu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
The King of Hell who is in charge of the Hell Gate in Jingzhou disguises himself as the housekeeper of a household?
"Could it be said that the people at Hell Gate have also learned the tricks of the Nian organization?"
Su Yu couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Hell Gate assassinations have always been very high-profile, for fear that others would not know that the deceased was killed by Hell Gate.
The Nian organization is just the opposite. They are afraid that others will know that the deceased was killed by them.
Disguising different identities has always been the specialty of the Nian organization.
Now that he heard from He Bohong that the King of Hell was disguised as a butler, Su Yu felt something was wrong, but couldn't say anything.
"He Bohong, you did a good job."
Wei Lianyi nodded and said: "You will lead the way tonight. Then I will be responsible for arresting the King of Hell. You and Su Yu will lead the people to ambush outside. If the King of Hell wants to run away, you and Su Yu will lead the people to stop him."
"Alright, let's all go back and rest first. You and I will tell you to go down and no one will leave without authorization. We will go to Feiyun Town to arrest the King of Hell tonight!"
"yes!"
He Bohong and Su Yu both responded.
After the two left, Wei Lianyi's eyes flashed with coldness and he murmured to himself: "King of Hell, I won't let you run away this time."
"Brother He, congratulations. If we successfully arrest the King of Hell this time, you should be the first to do so."
After walking out of the box, Su Yu said with a smile.
He Bohong smiled coquettishly and said: "Haha, Brother Su, you have just defeated Brother He. You are just doing things for the Zhenwu Division. You are not the first to succeed."
Hearing He Bohong's words, Su Yu frowned slightly.
If he succeeds in arresting the King of Hell, he will be able to obtain at least a second-level meritorious service. For He Bohong, if he exchanges his meritorious service for martial arts, he will receive at least hundreds of thousands of yuan crystals.
With such a huge amount of wealth in front of him, He Bohong didn't seem so happy.
Is he still the He Bohong he knows?
"It's weird."
Su Yu took a deep look at He Bohong and thought to himself.
But he didn't know what was wrong.
Su Yu smiled and said: "Brother He, let's meet in the evening."
"Okay."
After He Bohong finished speaking, he separated from Su Yu and each went to tell the people below to have a good rest and wait for the night's mission.
Looking at He Bohong's retreating figure, Su Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Anyway, you must be careful tonight.
At the same time, he planned to let two clones participate in this mission, one openly and one secretly. As for his true self, he hid behind the scenes to avoid possible dangers.
He couldn't help but be curious about what happened here.
The next step is to take one step at a time.
Anyway, as long as he doesn't encounter a warrior from the Divine Hidden Realm, Su Yu is confident in ensuring Wei Lianyi's safety.
Even if something unexpected happens, his current strength is enough to deal with it.
When night fell, Su Yu created a clone and met He Bohong at the gate of the city. At the same time, another clone was hiding in the dark to respond at any time.
After Wei Lianyi arrived, the group rode towards Feiyun Town.
When they were still several miles away from Feiyun Town, in order to avoid the sound of horse hooves attracting the attention of the King of Hell in the town, the group dismounted and walked towards Feiyun Town.
Half an hour later, the group stopped outside a mansion.
"Sir, this is Mr. Li's wife's family."
He Bohong lowered his voice and said.
When Su Yu heard this, the deity hiding in the distance swept towards the mansion with his spiritual consciousness.
"Huh?"
Su Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh.
In the mansion, his spiritual consciousness detected the residence of the King of Hell.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the bed. There were several top-quality Yuan Crystals placed in the room and he was currently practicing.
"Did I think wrong?"
Su Yu frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.
The appearance of the King of Hell in the mansion showed that He Bohong's information was not wrong.
In this case, why does He Bohong still look so unnatural?
Could it be that there is another hidden reason behind this matter?
Su Yu's spiritual consciousness spread out and then swept towards other directions in the mansion.
It was already early in the morning, and the entire residence of Yuan Li seemed unusually quiet. Even the chirping of insects in the grass had subsided.
Throughout Yuan Li's outer mansion, Su Yu's consciousness did not notice anything strange.
Then Su Yu concentrated his consciousness and swept it around Li Yuan's outer mansion, but did not notice anything strange.
"Am I overthinking it?"
Su Yu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Wei Lianyi glanced at Su Yu and He Bohong, then lowered his voice and ordered: "You two lead people to surround Li Mansion. If the King of Hell wants to run away later, you two signal the people below to fire crossbows to stop him."
"yes."
Su Yu and He Bohong lowered their voices and responded.
Then Su Yu and He Bohong each led their subordinates to guard in all directions outside Li's residence. They strung their bows and crossbows and lurked quietly in the dark.
After the two of them reported the ambush to Wei Lianyi, Wei Lianyi took out the Mandrill of the King of Hell from the space ring, then jumped over the courtyard wall and sneaked quietly into the residential area to search the residence of the King of Hell.
Another clone of Su Yu was hiding within ten feet of Wei Lianyi.
Once any accident occurs, he can immediately control the clone to rush to the rescue.
Regardless of whether Wei Lianyi had physical contact with him or not, since he participated in this mission together, he could not let anything happen to Wei Lianyi.
Otherwise, if Wei Lianyi died during this mission, the emperor might be so furious that he might be buried with them!
Therefore, no matter what, he must ensure Wei Lianyi's safety during this operation.
But at this moment, Su Yu's spiritual consciousness detected a scene that made him startled.
The three cavalrymen under He Bohong's command started to act after each of them looked at each other.
One of the horse boys took out an ancient copper hammer. As his energy poured in, a deep light emerged from the surface of the hammer.
The second horseman took out a long knife. As the vitality flowed in from the handle, the silver-white blade shone with its crystal white light.
The third horseman held an iron whip. As the energy poured in, the iron whip began to dance like a poisonous snake.
"Earth soldiers? These three guys are Hidden Dragon Realm warriors?"
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat and he immediately realized that this was an ambush targeting Wei Lianyi.
If nothing unexpected happened, it was the people from Hell Gate who caught He Bohong, and they resorted to tricks, and He Bohong was forced to choose to cooperate with them to save his life.
Then Hell Gate asked him to report to Wei Lianyi, saying that he had found the King of Hell in Hell Gate, and asked Wei Lianyi to come for support, and then there was this ambush operation against Wei Lianyi.
"There is indeed something fishy."
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh.
No matter how this battle goes, He Bohong's position of Thousand Households will probably change hands.
However, he could understand He Bohong. After all, in the face of life and death, not everyone can die calmly.
It makes sense that He Bohong wanted to betray Wei Lianyi in exchange for a way out.
If he can kill them all, he can still go back to being a Qianhu and become a dog at the gate of hell.
"Roar~"
At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the house.
The roar resounded throughout Feiyun Town in an instant, and Yuan Li's outer mansion was reduced to ruins in an instant.
At the same time, He Bohong's three 'horse boys' had already stepped out.
"Haha, Wei Lianyi, it's time for you to repay the revenge of that day."
Shi Jing, who was fighting Wei Lianyi, laughed loudly, exchanged palms with Wei Lianyi, and then used the inertia to fly back.
A shadow of a copper hammer that was more than ten feet long appeared in the hands of the man holding a copper hammer and struck Wei Lianyi in the field.
The man holding a long sword slashed across Wei Lianyi's waist with a sword that was more than ten feet long.
The man holding a long whip turned into a black shadow and whipped towards Wei Lianyi's face like a long snake spitting a message.
Seeing the three uninvited guests who suddenly appeared, Wei Lianyi's pretty face suddenly changed.
At this moment, how could she still not understand that this was an ambush set by Hell Gate specifically for her.
And He Bohong has also switched sides to the other party.
Three Hidden Dragon Realm warriors mobilized the ground soldiers to attack her. The three of them combined their forces to attack her, and it was clear that they were going to kill her!
The attacks of the three people blocked Wei Lianyi's escape direction, leaving her with no choice but to bear the blow.
Wei Lianyi had just made a calculated move with Shi Jing, but now in a hurry, how could he block the attack that had been prepared for a long time?
Wei Lianyi was devastated. After all, she was careless and believed He Bohong's words without expecting that he might change sides.
It’s just that I don’t have any chance to regret anymore.
Seeing the three people's attacks magnifying in his eyes, Wei Lianyi couldn't help but flash back to the scene in Longxuling where that guy died in his own hands.
"Maybe it would be nice to die."
Wei Lianyi murmured in her heart, quietly closed her eyes, and waited for death to come.
"puff!"
However, just as the three men were about to attack, the dragon wings with dragon scale patterns suddenly hugged each other, protecting Wei Lianyi within them.
"Bang!"
The phantom of the copper hammer struck down first, and the dragon wings made a dull sound.
Immediately afterwards, the sword and the iron whip hit the dragon's wings heavily, making two dull sounds in succession.
Wei Lianyi's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he opened his eyes again.
The scene before her eyes made her pretty face suddenly change.
"I'm not dead?"
Immediately afterwards, she saw the dragon wings that protected her inside, and the man in front of her with a frivolous smile on his lips.
"It's not your style to sit back and wait for death."
Su Yu looked at her and smiled jokingly.
Facing Su Yu's gaze, Wei Lianyi's pretty face turned cold, and she said word by word: "You are indeed not dead!"
But what she herself didn't realize was that when she saw this guy appearing in front of her, she even felt excited and happy for no reason.
