The blood tree in Yuanzhou Zhuque Palace disappeared.
Liang Jixiong sat in the center of Canglong Hall, covering his forehead and forcibly restraining the anger in his heart.
Who stole the blood tree?
The blood tree in Yuanzhou Zhuque Palace was made by the Shengci Elder Liang Gongping and more than a hundred craftsmen.
When Yan Huan discovered the blood tree in the Hunting Garden, Liang Gongping refused to acknowledge it, and a dispute broke out between Canglong Palace and Zhuque Palace.
Yan Huan and Liang Gongping went to Lieyuan to investigate together, but they fell into a trap. Yan Huan was trapped in Yanzhou in the East China Sea, and Liang Gongping was sent to Yuanzhou in the Western Region.
Yan Huan was trapped in the enchantment formation for three days and struggled to escape. Liang Gongping was ambushed in Yuanzhou Zhuque Palace and was turned into a blood tree.
At that time, both Emperor Zhaoxing and King Huai were planting blood trees, and there were almost hundreds of blood trees in Daxuan.
Among them, some of the blood trees were poisoned by Xu Zhiqiong and could no longer be used, but there were still some blood trees that were not eroded by the poison.
Later, Emperor Zhaoxing was executed by Xu Zhiqiong and Emperor Changle succeeded to the throne. Liang Yuyang once drafted an edict to eradicate all the blood trees in Xuan Kingdom.
However, this edict was opposed by two forces.
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Are you really not?"
Because he had dealt with the blood tree too many times, Xu Zhiqiong, like others, regarded the blood tree as a plant that could produce special juice.
From Hong Juncheng?
Liang Yuyao snorted: "When I talk about transplanting, I'm just using an analogy. If you plant trees like ordinary people, they dig holes and fill them with soil. If they want to steal the blood tree, they have to build some magic circle."
Hong Zhenji nodded repeatedly: "It all depends on Marquis Yun!"
After being reminded by Liang Yuyao, Xu Zhiqiong remembered what Gongshu Ban said.
He Fang couldn't help but laugh: "There are two complaints. He said that the Imperial City Division is only responsible for the affairs of the Imperial City. Why should he take care of the affairs of Yuanzhou?"
Yan Anqing's idea was unanimously approved by the cabinet, and even Wang Yanyang and Qiu Dongcai, two righteous men, supported the chief minister's view.
"Look," Xu Zhiqiong took out a letter and said, "This letter says that there are no pits, no soil, and no traces of excavation in the yard. There are more than a hundred sergeants guarding the yard outside, and no sound is heard.
, do you think this is like transplantation?"
Also tell Yan Anqing that he originally advised me to keep the blood tree, but now he has to find a way to keep the blood tree in check! If he loses one again, all the people in the cabinet will be buried in the ground!"
Xu Zhiqiong picked up the cake, glanced at it, and then snatched the cake from Liang Yuyao's hand: "Don't eat it!"
Liang Yuyao put down the leg of lamb, picked up a piece of cake, and asked while eating: "Who is your third brother?"
Unexpectedly, another force appeared that supported the preservation of the blood tree. This force was the Canglong Palace!
"Why can't you eat it? I asked someone to try it, and it's not poisonous." Liang Yuyao hated it when others robbed him of food.
After the letter, there are also attached some transcripts of the letters. These are some notes left by the prefect of Yuanzhou when he discovered that the blood tree was stolen.
Xu Zhiqiong shouted angrily: "Who do you think I am?"
Emperor Changle nodded: "I understand this, but things must be explained. The purpose of the stolen blood tree is not yet known.
If something bad happens, the people will suffer, but I, the emperor, should not go down.
Do you dare to eat this?
You have such a big heart!
The power of imagery and the energy of chaos continued to collide and entangle, from devouring each other to separating from each other. In less than half an hour, Xu Zhiqiong cracked the technique of mixed light.
Therefore, the matter of the blood tree was a secret that Hong Zhenji did not want to disclose under any circumstances, but unexpectedly, Cong Ming revealed it smoothly.
The power of imagery can calm the chaotic energy, but this energy is different from the correction technique. It is not like the slime in the meridians, nor is it like the eye-closing technique, where the meridians are directly blocked by boulders.
…
…
Xu Zhiqiong saw in the divine eyes that Ruan Baoqing had done something to Cong Ming. This time he came to verify and found that Cong Ming had chaotic energy.
The reason is very simple. If Xuan Kingdom goes to war with neighboring countries today, or if a demon like Guiyuan Exing invades Daxuan again, and Daxuan is in urgent need of strong men but there are no strong ones, how should we deal with it?
He Fang said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The Yin and Yang Department, the Imperial City Department and the Criminal Department have all gone to search. It is expected that there will be news soon."
Li Shabai, Liang Jixiong, Han Chen, Chu Xin, Zhong Shen... Daxuan seems to have no shortage of strong people.
"Why did you steal Third Brother?" Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his head, "I'm not very familiar with Third Brother. I even kicked him before, so I had a grudge. I'm afraid I have to ask about this.
Second brother...where did you get this cake?"
"Marquis Yun, the blood tree I mentioned is different from the blood tree you mentioned."
Hong Zhenji glared at Cong Ming and cursed in his heart: Bastard! How dare you say that there is?
There are some things that Hong Zhenji cannot be absolutely honest with Xu Zhiqiong, and the blood tree is one of them.
The trip was very hidden this time, and Xu Zhiqiong had to avoid every spy in the mansion.
Emperor Changle received the news and sat in the secret pavilion and sighed.
This kind of qi machine is like silk thread, interspersed and twisted in the meridians, but it is like making a hand-knitted one.
Liang Yuyao held a pig knuckle and said while gnawing: "Tell me, what are they going to do after they steal the blood tree? Are they going to transplant the blood tree somewhere else?"
Xu Zhiqiong blinked and looked at Liang Yuyao: "Maybe what they stole was not the blood tree, but the third brother!"
transplant...
After the words fell, Cong Ming's face turned pale, and Hong Zhenji's cheeks were purple.
"If it's not, then it can be, then it can be..." Xu Zhiqiong touched the bandage on his face and realized something serious.
Xu Zhiqiong received the letter and sat next to Liang Yuyao, thinking for a long time without coming up with a clue.
Emperor Changle and the cabinet had many disputes over this matter. Because the matter was so important, Canglong Palace once intervened to mediate.
But what if these strong men are stuck in a bitter battle? Are they in urgent need of support at a life-or-death moment?
To put it more bluntly, if there are blood trees in neighboring countries, why not in Daxuan?
With the blood tree, you can increase your combat power very quickly in a very short period of time. Without the blood tree, you can only watch as you fight to the death. The blood tree is the nuclear weapon of this era.
Hong Zhenji quickly took over the conversation: "This is definitely different. We in Qiancheng Kingdom don't have the kind of blood tree made of human life that Marquis Yun mentioned."
Emperor Changle laughed and said, "I guess Zhong Shen is scolding me again."
Xu Zhiqiong took out another letter: "It is also written here. Han Chen, the great divination master of the Yin and Yang Division, took people to check. There was no trace of the magic circle in the backyard. The blood tree just disappeared out of thin air."
"Find! Find it for me!" The furious Liang Jixiong paced back and forth in the Canglong Palace, "Assemble the Canglong Guards and dig three feet into the ground to find this blood tree for me.
After listening to Yan Anqing's opinions, Liang Jixiong felt that it made sense!
With the support of the Canglong Palace and the cabinet, the blood tree was finally preserved.
Hong Zhenji nodded repeatedly and said: "Marquis Yun is right. I have recruited thirty new dancers, so I will select ten of them and send them to Marquis Yun!"
The first force is the cabinet.
A fierce battle is coming, and Cong Ming's role is very crucial.
Xu Zhiqiong waved his hand and said: "This is not important. I have something to ask Cong Shaoqing. Is there a blood tree in Qiancheng State?"
There was trouble today. The blood tree transformed by Liang Gongping disappeared. No one knew where the blood tree was sent, and no one knew what the purpose of stealing the blood tree was.
But you have to be prepared if you can't find it, write a letter, tell Zhiqiong about it, and ask him what he can do."
He recalled the painful memories in the Star Corridor.
Xu Zhiqiong deduced from this that this was most likely the Hunmang technique that reversed the origin.
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "If you are talking about transporting a rabbit out of the Suzaku Palace, Han Chen may not be able to see it. With such a big blood tree now, it is impossible to use an ordinary magic circle, no matter how the opponent's methods are.
Gao Ming will definitely leave traces."
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Is it different?"
He ignored a serious issue, the origin of the blood tree.
If a country owns a blood tree, it can form an army of low- to medium-rank cultivators in a short period of time. This army is a nightmare for all neighboring countries on the battlefield. And this country with a blood tree will also become a neighbor.
public enemy of the country.
"If you are not allowed to eat, you are not allowed to eat! Not only cakes, but also anything given by Hong Juncheng is not allowed to be eaten!"
It is difficult to remove the intertwined qi, but Xu Zhiqiong has the means.
Hong Zhenji lowered his head and said nothing. Xu Zhiqiong snorted coldly and said: "You have recruited thirty new people, and you will give me ten. Does this count as sincerity? I don't want to take advantage of you, how about half for each person?"
Liang Yuyao thought for a moment: "I don't know much about yin and yang, so I just asked casually, is it possible that they used yin and yang to make the blood tree smaller first, and then took it away?"
Hong Zhenji and Cong Ming were grateful. Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "What's the use of just saying gratitude?"
The technique hasn't exploded yet, it's just hidden in the meridians. Once it explodes, it's hard to say what Cong Ming will look like.
He Fang said: "Your Majesty, the blood tree has been stolen. This matter is very strange. Until the truth is found out, the Canglong Palace and the cabinet should not be blamed."
Cong Ming originally planned to keep this matter in his stomach for the rest of his life, but he didn't know why he brought it out today.
Liang Yuyao took a piece to Xu Zhiqiong: "This is a gift from Hong Juncheng. Every time I see him before, he always gives me some cakes. Don't tell me, their Qianchengguo cakes are pretty good, even better than those made by Daxuan Imperial Chef."
"
Even if there is no trouble, as long as the blood tree cannot be found, I will issue an edict to blame myself and the cabinet will have to be replaced. My ancestor is a face-saving person, so I guess this elder Shengwei will not be able to continue."
The blood tree is not a plant, but its origin has been reversed by the technique of mixing light.
Emperor Changle snorted coldly: "How can there be so many things in the imperial city? Asking him to go on a foreign mission is such a big complaint!
He came here this time to treat Cong Ming.
Why did Cong Ming know this?
With his status and level in the Divine Machinery Department, he really shouldn't know the secrets about the blood tree, just because he encountered a case in which a ninth-level killer cultivator accidentally ate the sap of the blood tree and turned into a blood tree in half a year.
Those who have reached the seventh level of cultivation,
This matter involved secrets, and many people involved were silenced. Cong Ming realized that the situation was not right, and did not interfere deeply, and finally escaped unscathed.
Late at night, Xu Zhiqiong went to Prince Shu's Mansion.
Liang Yuyao finished chewing the pork knuckle and picked up a leg of lamb: "Maybe it's because the magic circle is so good that the Yin and Yang Division can't tell."
Cong Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "Marquis Yun is really good at joking. The Qiancheng Kingdom has such a thing as a blood tree."
The cabinet headed by Yan Anqing believed that although the blood tree was illegal, it was an important part of Xuanguo's combat power.
People are still people, and trees are still trees.
"What if it's not the Yin-Yang Array?" Liang Yuyao asked again.
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head: "It is more difficult to make a big tree smaller than to move a big tree out of the yard. I have seen this type of Yin-Yang magic circle, and it will leave more traces."
Xu Zhiqiong glared at Liang Yuyao. Liang Yuyao felt aggrieved, but remained silent. She lowered her head and picked up the leg of lamb.
What is the best way to dispel confusion?
Stir and turn, condense and gather.
"Marquis Yun, can I still lie to you? Of course Qiancheng Kingdom has that kind of blood tree!" Hong Zhenji replied with a smile.
After answering, Hong Jinji couldn't laugh anymore.
He was about to leave Cong Ming's bedroom: "Marquis Yun, I will choose a dancer for you right now."
Cong Ming also stood up: "Marquis Yun, I will go with you."
Xu Zhiqiong grabbed the two of them and said, "Sit down and don't go anywhere."
