The people of Yelang didn't believe in the underworld, so Xu Zhiqiong showed them what the underworld looked like.
Shenjisi is keen on catching the succubus, and Xu Zhiqiong also lets them see what the real succubus looks like.
Hong Huaxiao's body had not fully recovered, and he was afraid of the yang energy of the mortal world. Xu Zhiqiong asked Yang Wu to use the magic spell to build a realm of the underworld in the courtyard.
Hong Huaxiao was in good condition in the underworld and had at least recovered 20% of his combat power. He also used charm to control Jiang Shengqun and others.
Yang Wu took advantage of the underworld to maximize the paper man's combat power. The fifteen people who entered the mansion barely made any resistance and were killed by Hong Huaxiao and Yang Wu.
Xu Zhiqiong and Chang Decai were outside the mansion, responsible for collecting people's heads, and they took five servants with them to practice their skills.
Jiang Shengqun led thirty-six people out of the city, and now only he and two Mohist cultivators were left.
Can't Xu Zhiqiong kill these three people?
able!
He was watching secretly at this moment, looking at Jiang Shengqun who was at a loss.
Although Jiang Shengqun has a fourth-level cultivation level, Xu Zhiqiong and Chang Decai can take his life at any time if they take action at the same time, not to mention the other two Mohists.
But Xu Zhiqiong deliberately left him a way out, and this person would still be of some use in the future.
After staying near the mansion for a while, Jiang Shengqun didn't even have the courage to collect the corpse, so he took Zhang Shifeng and Bao Huailuo and immediately returned to the Shenji Division.
After arriving at the Shenji Division, Jiang Shengqun simply treated his injuries and sat silently in his cabin all night. At dawn, he shed tears.
He wanted to make a great contribution, but just last night, he dreamed of the scene when he became a minister, and he was still thinking about where to serve wine at the celebration banquet.
Now, a total of thirty-four people were folded outside the city, in the hands of Jiang Shengqun.
If you commit such a serious mistake, you will definitely not be able to keep your official position. It is hard to say whether you can save your life.
Zhang Shifeng comforted him and said: "General Jiang, it is not easy for our brothers to save this life. Don't think too much about other things. Just take it one step at a time."
Bao Huailuo was older and saw things much more clearly than Zhang Shifeng: "General, we cannot leave this matter to fate. We have recovered our lives, and we cannot lose them again by being confused."
Jiang Shengqun, desperate, looked at Bao Huailuo, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Bao Huailuo said: "This errand was ordered by the Master to do it for us. We couldn't do it because we didn't have the ability. But if something happens, we can't bear it all. We have to take care of the Master."
Hold on to the lifeline."
Jiang Shengqun sighed: "This life-saving rope is not so easy to hold on to. Why does the chief minister care about us?"
"It doesn't matter whether he does it or not, we did nothing wrong in this matter!"
Zhang Shipeng was surprised: "So many people have died, how dare you say that we did nothing wrong?"
Bao Huailuo said: "I said just now that we really have no ability. The Lord Priest said that we are useless. We have to listen.
But let’s say that the servants in the Divine Lord’s palace have practiced evil. This is indeed true. They colluded with the succubus. Isn’t this considered evil? If one day they lead the succubus to the divine lord, how will this matter end?
We didn’t get the thing done, so we don’t dare to take credit for it, but even if the thing is right, we can’t admit guilt!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shengqun gained some confidence.
At Chen time, Jiang Shengqun plucked up the courage and went to Shan Zhongming's Diaolou, followed closely by Zhang Shifeng and Bao Huailuo.
Bao Huailuo later reminded: "Although we are reasonable, we can't be stuck in words. We have to follow the wishes of the Lord and explain it easily."
Jiang Shengqun nodded and said, "I understand. You two can help me say a few more words."
Entering the main hall, Xu Zhiqiong stepped back and asked Jiang Shengqun: "What was the result of the battle?"
Jiang Shengqun hesitated for a long time, and before he could speak, tears fell first.
"My lord, my subordinates are incompetent. I didn't expect that those eunuchs colluded with the charm demons and fought fiercely all night. Thirty-four clever men were unfortunately killed in battle."
"Killed in action?" Xu Zhiqiong slapped the case and pretended to be shocked, "What do you mean by killed in action?"
Jiang Shengqun lowered his head and said, "He died in battle outside the city."
"Thirty-four people died!" Xu Zhiqiong shouted angrily, "But did you catch that eunuch?"
Jiang Shengqun shook his head.
Xu Zhiqiong added: "We can finally find some physical evidence, right?"
Jiang Shengqun still shook his head.
Xu Zhiqiong shouted angrily: "Jiang Shengqun, you know your crime!"
Just as Jiang Shengqun was about to defend himself, Bao Huailuo touched him lightly from behind.
The Master is angry, so you must not contradict him at this time.
Let's wait for the Lord Privy Council to calm down a little before we can discuss it again.
Xu Zhiqiong stood up and paced back and forth in the main hall.
Jiang Shengqun's face turned pale, and it was difficult to even take a breath.
Zhang Shifeng bit his lip, feeling that Jiang Shengqun was probably dead, but he didn't know if he could escape.
Bao Huailuo was quite calm. After all, the Lord Privy Master had something to do with this matter, so he should be able to leave a way for them to survive.
Xu Zhiqiong stood in front of Jiang Shengqun and asked in a low voice: "You said you were defeated by the Charming Demon?"
Jiang Shengqun nodded.
Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and kicked Jiang Shengqun: "What kind of ability does the charm demon have? It can kill my good son of the Shenji Department!"
"This succubus, this succubus is..." Jiang Shengqun didn't know how to explain.
The enchantments that Shan Zhongming had captured before were all weak women who had fallen into trouble or were involved in rumors. In short, they were captured for whatever reason.
And how could the enchantress they encountered be compared to those women.
Jiang Shengqun was worried about angering Shan Zhongming, but he didn't dare to say it openly.
Bao Huailuo was sober at the moment. This matter must be said clearly. If not, the nature of the matter would change.
"Sir, the succubus we met last night is real." Bao Huailuo spoke.
Xu Zhiqiong shouted: "What do you mean by this? Could it be that the charm I met before was fake?"
Bao Huailuo didn't give in. He kowtowed and continued to explain: "The enchantress last night had some cultivation, and what she cultivated was her physique."
Shan Zhongming should be able to understand this sentence. The succubus he met last night is really well-educated, and she is not an ordinary woman you captured.
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Bao Huailuo and found that this man was calm and calculated, and he also had good intentions.
"It seems that you really encountered a ruthless hand, otherwise so many people wouldn't have died." Xu Zhiqiong's tone softened slightly, Jiang Shengqun stopped crying, and Bao Huailuo breathed a sigh of relief.
After a long silence, Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Other than you, who else knows about this matter?"
Upon hearing this, Bao Huailuo felt completely at ease. Shan Shushang planned to suppress the matter.
Except for Shan Zhongming, no one else knew about the secret of Jiang Shengqun's previous plan. Shan Shushou really wanted to calm down the matter, so he should be fully confident.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shengqun replied: "Vice-President Lu, you should know something inside."
Bao Huailuo's heart immediately jumped up. He didn't expect Jiang Shengqun to be so unreliable in his work!
Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "Why did you tell Vice-President Lu about the matter?"
Jiang Shengqun hurriedly explained: "My subordinates didn't tell me. It was Vice-President Lu who heard the news and knew that the Prime Minister was going to send someone to arrest the important criminal, so he took the initiative to ask his subordinates."
"How do you answer that?"
"My subordinates lied to him and said that Your Excellency sent us out of the city to capture the succubus."
Bao Huailuo was startled, this is good, it was a mistake.
Xu Zhiqiong let out a long sigh and said: "Forget it, since you have really met the succubus, there is no harm in letting him know about it. Regarding the affairs of the chamberlain, you are not allowed to reveal anything to others. Just say that you have fought a bloody night and failed to capture the succubus."
The three of them said yes again and again, and Xu Zhiqiong told Jiang Shengqun: "Get more rewards for those thirty-four people, and silence their family members. This matter cannot be spread to the outside world, especially not to the main hall of the God. I understand."
What?"
Jiang Shengqun kowtowed repeatedly, thanked him repeatedly, and carefully exited the Diaolou with his two subordinates.
Returning to Jiang Shengqun's cabin, Zhang Shifeng showed a smile: "General Jiang, I didn't expect this to happen like this."
Jiang Shengqun remained silent, while Bao Huailuo sighed and said, "The matter hasn't passed yet. Chief Shan wanted to hide the matter, because he was afraid that Vice-chief Lu would expose the matter."
Zhang Shifeng asked in surprise: "What good will it do to him if he shakes it out?"
Bao Huailuo said impatiently: "There is only one seat for the chief, what good do you think it will do to him? In short, we are all protected by the chief Shan. We will do what the chief Shan orders."
Jiang Shengqun said: "The three of us must keep our mouths shut. Don't say a word about what we shouldn't say. If any more news leaks out, I'm afraid even the leader alone won't be able to save our lives."
…
After sending these three people away, Xu Zhiqiong continued to check the files related to Yuan Chengfeng.
Regarding Yuan Chengfeng's deeds, the records are quite detailed. This man joined the Shenji Division at the age of thirty. He started as a captain and was promoted to a general at the age of forty.
After becoming a general, Yuan Chengfeng repeatedly made extraordinary achievements and captured many wild cultivators in three years.
What's even more rare is that he killed an assassin who sneaked into the Shenjun Palace. This feat directly promoted Yuan Chengfeng to the rank of Shangqing.
After becoming Shangqing, Yuan Chengfeng continued to make great achievements. At the age of fifty-six, he defeated Gongsun Wen and was promoted to deputy chief lieutenant. He then killed the Bei Di Charming Demon and was promoted to chief lieutenant.
At this time, Yuan Chengfeng was enjoying the spring breeze, but he died of illness soon after.
According to Shan Zhongming's confession, Yuan Chengfeng was poisoned to death by him.
The file records Yuan Chengfeng's deeds in detail, but does not mention much about Yuan Chengfeng's cultivation. It only says that he is a practitioner of the Two Lives Mysterious Dao, and that he is extremely good at magic formations.
Xu Zhiqiong didn't gain much from the files. At dusk, he left the Shenji Division and returned to the capital.
According to custom, Xu Zhiqiong stayed in the Dongkua Courtyard for a while, briefly asked Han Di about his condition today, and learned that nothing serious had happened, and then went to Yuyao Palace to take a look.
Unexpectedly, something big happened in Yuyao Palace.
Lin Qianniang looked at Xu Zhiqiong with red eyes and said, "Where have you been? Why don't you see anyone every day?"
Qianniang has the most gentle temperament and rarely complains to Xu Zhiqiong. Today's situation is indeed very serious.
Xu Zhiqiong arrived at the main courtyard and entered Liang Yuyao's bedroom. He saw Liang Yuyao sitting silently in the bedroom without saying a word.
Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, what happened?"
Liang Yuyao looked dull and showed no reaction.
Xu Zhiqiong asked several more times, but Liang Yuyao seemed to have lost her soul and still received no response.
Qianniang said with red eyes: "During the day, King Lu Hong Zhenkang came to visit. The man spoke very forcefully. The princess couldn't resist, so she asked me to find you.
I couldn't find you, so I came back to reply to the princess. I didn't expect that Hong Zhenkang was gone, but the princess turned out to be like this!"
Xu Zhiqiong backed away from the others and stepped forward to grab Liang Yuyao's hand.
The judge is very sensitive to souls, and he can sense that Liang Yuyao's soul is still there.
Xu Zhiqiong asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, can you hear my voice?"
Liang Yuyao remained silent, but her hand held Xu Zhiqiong's hand tightly.
Two lines of tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she knew who this hand belonged to.
