After a night's rest, Su Yu got up early, washed up, dressed neatly, had breakfast on the street, and then headed in the direction of Zhenwusi.
Walking on the street, Su Yu couldn't help but secretly sighed.
After yesterday's incident, after a day of cleaning up, the scene on the street has taken on a completely new look.
The collapsed houses are being repaired and the ruins have already been cleared.
Just when Su Yu walked to the street, a mansion with white lanterns hanging and draped in silk would appear from time to time.
All this also made Su Yu realize that everything that happened yesterday really happened.
In the accident caused by the robbery site yesterday, even the Zhenwu Guards who ran slower would have died. The civilians were more lucky to survive.
In these houses where funeral arrangements are being made, the deceased must have died in yesterday's accident.
Su Yu couldn't help but feel a little chilled. Maybe these people didn't know until their death that the initiator of all this was just the senior officials of the Zhenwu Division who had gone too far.
Of course, the Zhenwu Division may not take the lives of these people seriously.
At the same time, Su Yu was also somewhat fortunate that his residence was several miles away from the Meridian Gate Dharma Ground and had not been affected. This was considered a blessing among misfortunes.
Otherwise, if your house collapses, you will probably have to spend a fortune to hire someone to repair it.
Su Yu came to Zhenwu Division and walked into the small courtyard, only to find that there was no one in the courtyard.
"Hey, where did they go?"
Su Yu's face was startled, and he was a little surprised.
In the past, he was always the last one to come. What happened to these guys today?
"By the way, I almost forgot, today is already August, they should be waiting for the martial arts rankings to be released."
Su Yu suddenly came to his senses, and then headed towards the Wubao direction.
When we arrived at the place where the results were released, the place was already crowded, with everyone waiting for the results to be released today.
I'm afraid the busiest time of this martial arts ranking is number one.
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the entire Wubang Square was just like the Meridian Square yesterday, packed to the brim.
"Brother Su, here!"
Just when Su Yu was looking for Ji Longcheng and others, Ji Longcheng and others in the distance also saw him and waved to him.
Su Yu squeezed through the crowd and slowly leaned over.
Lin Canglan's three teams are here at the moment, waiting for the rankings to be released today.
"Everyone, I just received news that yesterday at Meridian Square, a total of fifty-seven Zhenwu guards died in the line of duty, including Mr. He from the Hundred Households who served as executioners. People who came to watch the beheadings, a total of one thousand two hundred and seventy
One person died and 3,653 were injured."
In the crowd, someone suddenly said quietly.
His words immediately caused an uproar, and many people couldn't help but feel sad on their faces.
Many people present had experienced the Meridian Gate Dharma Field yesterday and had many feelings about what happened yesterday.
In particular, Mr. He of the Hundred Households who served as the executioner died in the line of duty, which frightened everyone even more.
Even the Master of the Hundred Households who possesses the Iron Bone Realm is helpless in front of the judge and has been turned into a pile of minced meat in an instant.
Everyone who was waiting for the announcement of the results couldn't help but start talking.
"Fortunately, my wife gave birth to a baby yesterday, and I was free at home and didn't join in the fun, otherwise I might have been in trouble too."
"Who would believe that Hell Gate would even send out the King of Hell for a Bai Wuchang."
"Don't you feel something is wrong? The judge, Po Meng, and the City God are three people who are leaping into the sea, but our Zhenwu Division has four adults from thousands of households who are jumping over the sea. Especially when the judge has suffered heavy losses, how can we let them be safe?
Left?"
"I don't know. I guess only a few Senhu adults know what happened."
"I heard that the Hell Gate hollowed out the bottom of the Meridian Gate Square, and then led people to leave the tunnel. Because there were a large number of palm mines in the tunnel, the four Qianhu adults did not dare to pursue them, and could only watch helplessly.
Let them leave."
"It is said that when His Majesty heard the news, Long Yan was furious and ordered the White Tiger Commander to return to the capital."
"Oh, it's such a pity. Even if any commander is in Beijing, I'm afraid that the Hell Gate's Yama Luo Palace in Jingzhou will have been uprooted at this moment."
"Eunuch Cao in the palace has the Soul Palace realm, why didn't he come out of the palace to help? If he was here, I'm afraid the Hell Gate Tribulation Field wouldn't have been successful yesterday, right?"
"Hey, Eunuch Cao sits in the palace to prevent His Majesty from being assassinated by assassins. If he goes out of the palace to help, who will sit in the palace? If a ghost emperor secretly comes to the Hell Gate, once Eunuch Cao leaves the palace, the ghost emperor will enter the palace to assassinate him.
What should your Majesty do?"
"Yes, Eunuch Cao is here to protect His Majesty, not to guard against someone robbing the execution ground."
"Damn it, the arrogance of the Hell Gate is getting more and more arrogant now. I hope that one day, our Zhenwu Division will be able to wipe out all the Yama Halls where the Hell Gate has been set up in the Jiuzhou of the Wei Dynasty."
"."
Everyone was talking a lot, with expressions of lingering fear on their faces.
You need to be careful when fishing, as it is very rare.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Su Yu cursed in his heart.
Who would have thought that the Zhenwu Guards were only sent to maintain order in the law field, but in the end a considerable number of the Zhenwu Guards would end up dying in the line of duty.
When the morning sun slowly rose from the horizon, two Zhenwu Guards from Wubao walked in, and everyone's conversations immediately stopped.
These two people are the Zhenwu Guards responsible for releasing the results.
After a while, the two of them wrote down all today's tasks on the black plaque for all the Zhenwu guards present to choose from.
"Many of these tasks are tasks left over from last month, which are very difficult."
Ji Longcheng just took a cursory glance and frowned slightly.
This month has just begun, so he is naturally not in a hurry to receive the mission.
Besides, he worked hard to maintain a good relationship with the Zhenwu Guards on the Wubang side. If there was an easy errand, the other party would naturally contact him.
Many people chose their missions, registered with the Zhenwu Guard who released the list, and then left straight away.
"Let's go, none of these tasks are fuel-efficient."
Gong Kaiwen couldn't help but shook his head and said.
It's only August 1st, and the three teams are not in a hurry to take on the mission.
"Huh?"
Ji Longcheng seemed to have discovered something and couldn't help but let out a sigh and said: "Look at the seventh level mission."
"Level 7 mission?"
Su Yu couldn't help but was stunned. The criminal corresponding to this seventh-level mission was an Iron Bone Realm warrior. It required a team of adults from hundreds of households to complete it. A captain with only a Copper Skin Realm cultivation level could not complete it.
Immediately, Su Yu couldn't help but glance at the column announcing the seventh-level tasks.
As the task level becomes higher, the number of tasks will decrease accordingly.
By the time we reach the seventh level of missions, there are only a dozen missions.
"Brother Ji, what did you find?" Owen Jie asked puzzled.
"Let's take a look at the fifth mission among the seven-level missions." Ji Longcheng said.
The fifth task?
Su Yuxunsheng looked at the fifth task of the seventh-level task.
"On April 3rd, a wealthy businessman in Anyuan County was massacred by Jianghu warriors. After investigation, it was found that it was a Bronze Skin Realm warrior."
Su Yu couldn't help but be startled when he saw the content of the mission, because the target criminal in the content turned out to be a bronze-skin realm martial artist.
"How could this happen?"
Su Yu couldn't help but look a little surprised.
The task in April is now in August, which means that three months have passed since this task.
How could a bronze-skinned warrior be placed in a seventh-level mission by the Zhenwu Division?
However, there is only a brief introduction to the mission on this plaque. If you want to know the full content, you need to check the dossier about this mission.
But what is unexpected is that this seventh-level meritorious task was not accepted by anyone.
This made Su Yu a little curious. He was able to get a seventh-level meritorious service against a bronze-skinned warrior. How could no one receive such a good thing?
You must know that once a seventh-level mission is completed, two people can obtain the seventh-level meritorious service.
One seventh-level meritorious service is equivalent to ten eighth-level meritorious deeds, and can be exchanged for a yellow-level intermediate martial arts skill.
Even though this task is difficult, as long as you can complete it, it is equivalent to completing ten eighth-level tasks at once, so no one should claim it.
"I have an impression of this mission. It was still an eighth-level mission at the time."
Ji Longcheng frowned and said: "Three months ago, when Lu Ze and Gu Daoyuan were teammates, they had the idea of this mission in order to accumulate merit and be promoted to captain. At that time, they had already been promoted to bronze.
Pi Jing, I just needed meritorious service to be promoted to captain, but later on, just to be on the safe side, I chose other tasks to complete."
"I didn't expect that three months later, this mission would turn into a level seven mission."
"Cousin, aren't you related to the Zhenwu Guards of Wubang?"
Chen Beijiang couldn't help but arouse his curiosity and said: "You can ask them to take out the dossier on this mission and show it to us."
When Ji Longcheng heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. He immediately found a Zhenwu guard on the martial list and whispered a few words, and the other party handed him the dossier of this seventh-level mission.
Ji Longcheng returned again with the dossier, and several people from the three teams couldn't help but get closer to see the details of this mission.
"On April 3rd, a wealthy businessman in Anyuan County was massacred by martial arts warriors. After investigation, it was found that it was Guo Yuantao, a martial arts warrior in the Bronze Skin Realm."
"On April 7th, Lieutenant Huang Yan of the Zhenwu Division led three teams to set up an ambush and successfully killed Guo Yuantao. He returned to the Zhenwu Division to resume his duties and received the eighth-level merit."
"However, there is a letter from the Anyuan County magistrate. On April 25th, Guo Yuantao appeared again, sneaked into a wealthy businessman late at night, cut off his granddaughter's hand tendons and hamstrings, and then defiled her body. The Zhenwu Division took back the eighth-level meritorious service of Huang Yan and others.
According to Huang Yan’s explanation, after he surrounded and killed Guo Yuantao, when he brought his body back to the county government office, he disappeared for no apparent reason.”
"On May 2nd, Lieutenant He Junxian of the Zhenwu Division led three teams and successfully captured him and sent him to Anyuan County Prison. On May 6th, Guo Yuantao hanged himself in the prison. He Junxian led his team back to the Zhenwu Division
Returned to life and received level eight meritorious service."
"However, there is a letter from the Anyuan County magistrate. On May 13th, Guo Yuantao robbed a merchant group ten miles away from Anyuan County. The Zhenwu Division recovered the eighth-level meritorious service of He Junxian and others. According to He Junxian's explanation, Guo Yuantao was imprisoned.
In Anyuan County Prison, I planned to take him back to the Zhenwu Division to resume his life the next day, but I never expected that he hanged himself in the prison, and his body disappeared for no reason an hour later."
"On May 15th, Colonel Tang Feng took over the mission."
"On May 23rd, the Zhenwu Division will take back the eighth-level meritorious service of Tang Feng and others."
"On June 7th, Lieutenant Li Shiqiang of the Zhenwu Division received the mission."
"On June 19, the Zhenwu Division took back the eighth-level meritorious deeds of Li Shiqiang and others."
"On July 5th, the mission level was raised to level seven, and Li Tai, a hundred households in Zhenwu Division, accepted the mission."
"On July 11th, the Zhenwu Division recovered the seventh-level mission merits of Li Tai and others."
"On July 15th, Feng Kai, a hundred households in Zhenwu Division, received the mission."
"On July 28th, the Zhenwu Division recovered the seventh-level meritorious service of Feng Kai and others."
After reading the entire contents of the dossier, everyone was secretly speechless.
The Zhenwu Division has dispatched personnel six times. In the end, Guo Yuantao, who died three times due to various reasons, would appear out of thin air and commit crimes again.
The entire Zhenwu Division only has forty adults from one hundred households.
Now that two Masters of Hundred Households have failed in succession, this task has undoubtedly made this task famous in the circle of Masters of Zhenwu Division.
In particular, Guo Yuantao can always come back from the dead, which makes these adults feel taboo.
It is precisely because of this that for several days, even adults from hundreds of families were unwilling to take on this task.
"Tsk, tsk, this task can no longer be described as difficult, it is simply hot."
After Ji Longcheng read the entire contents of the dossier, he couldn't help but gloated and smiled evilly.
The Zhenwu Division sent six groups of people to perform tasks in succession. Each time the team that performed the task felt that they had completed the task, and then returned to the Zhenwu Division to resume their duties.
But the dead Guo Yuantao will reappear and commit crimes again
Then the meritorious service just obtained was taken back by the Zhenwu Division.
Anyone who encounters such an evil thing will not waste time thinking about it again.
"Dead people can come back to life. Even if they are seriously injured, they can still be alive and kicking in a short time."
Su Yu frowned slightly and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Although I understand that the world is so vast, there is no such thing as this.
But a martial arts warrior in the copper-skin realm can give the Zhenwu Division a headache, and even raise the task level for this reason. This kind of thing can be regarded as the first time for the Zhenwu Division.
"Is there some secret hidden in him that allows him to keep dying and then come back to life?"
"It is precisely because of this that he was able to commit crimes in Anyuan County without restraint, and then waited for someone from the Zhenwu Division to capture or kill him."
Su Yu thought to himself.
And this martial artist named Guo Yuantao was on the run and committed crimes in Anyuan County in April this year.
It can be seen that the secret that can keep him coming back from the dead appeared this year. Otherwise, it would not make sense. Why did he not commit crimes when he was in the body refining realm?
"It's amazing that you can still live after death."
Chen Beijiang couldn't help but marveled: "This kind of person should join the Zhenwu Division and shed his blood for the Zhenwu Division."
Throwing your head and blood?
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Chen Beijiang with strange expressions.
The scene of being robbed by the Hell Gate yesterday is still vivid in my mind. Do the senior officials of the Zhenwu Division treat you as a person?
With the ability to be immortal, how can you be as comfortable as being a martial artist without restraint like you are now?
When you are full, can you go to work as a military guard?
Facing everyone's weird looks, Chen Beijiang smiled and said, "I was just joking."
Speaking of this, Chen Beijiang continued: "If I had the immortal ability of Guo Yuantao, I would definitely sneak into the Jiaofang Division overnight and force the four oirans to the overlord."
When everyone heard this, their faces twitched violently, and they looked at him blankly. He was indeed an energetic guy.
"Good guy, this has opened up the situation."
Su Yu couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Ji Longcheng couldn't help but take a few steps away from him, pretending to be disdainful of being associated with him.
He put the file in his hand away again, and then gave it back to the Zhenwu Guard who was responsible for releasing the results.
"Let's go. Since there is no suitable mission, let's go back." Ji Longcheng suggested.
Immediately, everyone left Wu Bang and walked directly towards the small courtyard where Lin Canglan was.
When everyone returned to the small courtyard, they found a man wearing a flying fish suit with copper wire patterns walking out of the courtyard.
The man turned out to be Ji Longcheng's old teammate, Lu Ze.
"Lu Ze, why are you here?" Ji Longcheng said with a surprised look on his face.
"Oh, nothing."
Lu Ze paused and chuckled: "I just came to discuss something with Mr. Lin. The discussion is over now. I have something else to do, so I will go back first."
Looking at Lu Ze's walking back, Gong Kaiwen asked in confusion: "Why did Lu Ze come to Mr. Lin to discuss something?"
"If you want to know, you can ask Mr. Lin." Ye Kai said quietly.
"What is he looking for Master Lin for?"
Ji Longcheng frowned slightly and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Since Lu Ze and Gu Daoyuan were promoted to school captains, this was the first time Lu Ze came to discuss matters with Lin Canglan.
Walking into the courtyard, Lin Canglan was already waiting in the courtyard.
"grown ups."
Everyone clasped their fists and said hello.
"Um!"
Lin Canglan nodded slightly and said: "In the past few days, everyone should not go to the martial arts list. I am considering whether to cooperate with Mr. Lu to complete a mission. Then you may be required to go together to carry out the mission."
Mr. Lu? Lu Ze?
Everyone looked stunned and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Lu Ze just came over to discuss matters with Lin Canglan. Was he looking for Lin Canglan to cooperate with him to complete the task?
What kind of mission can the two captains work together to complete?
Even Ji Longcheng couldn't help but be stunned.
You must know that his fishing skills were all learned from Lu Ze.
That guy can lie down but never stand up. As a captain, how can he still accept the mission?
In the Zhenwu Division, except for the Zhenwu Guards who need to accept tasks, the captains above no longer need to accept tasks in person.
Generally, when the three teams under the captain's command encounter difficult tasks, they can ask the captain to take action, or the captain will take on more difficult tasks because he wants to further his official career.
But it’s not easy to go further?
To be promoted to the rank of Baihu, five sixth-level meritorious deeds are required.
The criminal with level 6 meritorious deeds is a warrior at the pinnacle of the Iron Bone Realm. The captain would not even think about being promoted to a hundred households before being promoted to the Iron Bone Realm.
Lu Ze was a fisherman himself, and now he suddenly approached Lin Canglan and expressed his willingness to cooperate to complete the task.
It can be seen that this task is very difficult. He cannot complete it alone, so he approached Lin Canglan.
Ji Longcheng couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "Sir, what task does Master Lu Zelu want you to cooperate with?"
Lin Canglan said: "According to what Mr. Lu just said, there was a bronze-skin warrior in Anyuan County who repeatedly committed crimes. The Zhenwu Division has been dispatched six times, and each time he returned after completing the task, but the bronze-skin warrior
Jianghu warriors will resurrect from the dead and commit murders in Anyuan County."
After hearing what Lin Canglan said, the expressions of the nine people present could not help but be stunned.
Isn't this the seventh-level mission?
"grown ups."
Owen Jie couldn't help but said: "We just saw this mission in the martial arts list, and Longcheng even borrowed the entire contents of this dossier. This mission is very evil. Two adults from a hundred households have already returned without success."
For such an evil task, even Baihu adults with Iron Bone Realm cultivation can't complete it. If the two captains lead the team to complete this task, they are looking down on this seventh-level task, right?
When Lin Canglan heard this, he looked a little surprised and said, "Have you also seen this mission?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock, and Ji Longcheng explained in detail the mission he saw on the military list today.
"No wonder he came to me for cooperation."
Lin Canglan suddenly realized and murmured to himself in a low voice.
Then he said with a smile: "When he came to see me, he already said that he would take over the task first, and then make some preparations, and will set off in three days."
"He said that he could give me three days to consider it. If I reject his proposed cooperation, he will find someone else to cooperate."
Lin Canglan was still hesitant about whether to cooperate with Lu Ze or give up this task.
A martial artist in the copper-skin realm has a seventh-level meritorious service, which undoubtedly makes him very excited.
This is a very evil task. Even two adults from a hundred households in the Iron Bone Realm failed, which shows how difficult the task is.
Xue Qian hesitated and said: "Sir, I think this mission is a bit evil. Maybe if we capture Guo Yuantao and revive him, he will die of various reasons on the way, and then commit another crime in Anyuan County. Then won't our trip be in vain?
trip?"
"Um!"
Lin Canglan nodded and said: "You are right, but if such a task can be completed successfully, the rewards will be very generous."
"I will consider it. If someone is unwilling to participate, I will not force anyone to do so. Don't worry."
Hearing Lin Canglan's words, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Yesterday, I almost died in the ambush set by the senior officials of the Zhenwu Division for Hell Gate. Now everyone can't help but feel a little bit shadowy in their hearts.
They are only at the bottom of the Zhenwu Division, and this kind of seventh-level meritorious service still seems too far away for them.
Besides, after the seventh-level mission is completed, only two people can obtain meritorious deeds, and that must be Lin Canglan and Lu Ze.
At most, they can earn a lot of money from this task.
Income and risk are obviously inversely proportional, especially since there may be changes in this mission. Once they come back and Guo Yuantao comes back to life, it will be equivalent to a wasted trip.
Lin Canglan waved his hand and said: "Okay, I have nothing to do today, let's go practice."
"yes!"
Everyone responded.
'Master Lin is obviously moved.'
Seeing Lin Canglan open the door of his room and walk in, Su Yu couldn't help but curse.
But it makes sense to think about it, for a captain in the bronze realm, it is not easy to complete a seventh-level mission.
The criminal corresponding to the seventh-level mission is an Iron Bone Realm warrior.
But the current target of this mission is a bronze-skinned warrior. Although it is very evil, if it can be completed, the rewards will be huge.
One seventh-level meritorious service is equivalent to ten eighth-level meritorious deeds, which can be exchanged for a yellow-level intermediate martial arts skill at the martial arts pavilion.
The price of a yellow-level intermediate martial arts book is about one thousand yuan crystals.
In other words, as long as they can complete this task, Lu Ze and Lin Canglan can each earn at least 20,000 taels from this task.
Twenty thousand taels of silver was indeed very tempting to a captain, so it was no wonder that Lin Canglan was so tempted.
Once you complete this task, if you have made meritorious deeds in the past, you may even have the opportunity to exchange for a yellow-level advanced martial arts book in the martial arts pavilion.
Even Su Yu couldn't help but be curious. Is Lu Ze really sure that he can complete this task?
After accepting the mission, he still needed three days to prepare. What trump card had he prepared?
Judging from the files, there were no incidents of Zhenwu guards dying in the line of duty while performing this mission, which shows that the level of risk is not high.
It's just that this task feels very tricky.
After all, he finally completed the mission, and then the merit was taken back by the Zhenwu Division, which was like eating a fly.
"If Mr. Lin agrees to cooperate with Lu Ze to complete it, he can join in the fun. I am also very curious about how that guy comes back from the dead again and again."
Su Yu's eyes flashed and he thought to himself.
As long as his life is not in danger, he doesn't mind joining in the fun.
The interaction between him and Lu Ze that day also made Su Yu understand that Lu Ze is a very thoughtful person, otherwise he would not be able to win so many games with trapped beasts.
Coupled with the fact that he has participated in so many trapped beast battles, it is impossible for Lu Ze to be short of money now, and there is no need to accept missions for money.
Since there was no shortage of money, he unexpectedly accepted this task, which shows that he is most likely carrying the secret of Guo Yuantao's multiple immortality.
It's just that as a bronze-skin warrior, the risk factor for him to deal with Guo Yuantao alone is too high.
On the grounds of seventh-level meritorious service, he successfully lured Lin Canglan into the trap and received a strong foreign aid, which Lu Ze undoubtedly needed very much.
After all, he had worked under Lin Canglan before, so he must have a general understanding of Lin Canglan's strength.
The reason why Lu Ze approached Lin Canglan but not anyone else for cooperation was that Su Yu could roughly guess what the other party was thinking.
Lin Canglan is just a warrior in the early stage of the Bronze Skin Realm. He has some strength, but he is not very strong.
Once internal fighting breaks out because of the secret of Guo Yuantao's immortality, Lu Ze will at least not fall into a passive situation, and may even take the initiative because of his understanding of Lin Canglan.
