People from each county said goodbye to Zhou Qiang and Ran Liang respectively and left the camp.
Gu An and the others wanted to bring back the bodies of Yan Jiu and Kuang Tianfei, so they spent some time preparing the carriage and finally left.
Ran Liang looked at Gu An in the distance and sighed: "Old Zhou, do you think Yan Gu has the strength?"
"Hmph, you know it yourself, so why bother asking me." Zhou Qiang snorted coldly: "I have dealt with Yan Gu several times, and his strength is only that of an ordinary martial arts instructor in a county.
Naturally, he doesn't have that kind of strength, but since Gu An said he does, we'll assume he does.
As long as our place is not affected, that’s fine.”
…
Ping'an County, Tao Yu's house outside.
At this time, Tao Yu's house looked like it had just been robbed.
There were various pieces of porcelain scattered on the floor, as well as messy and broken seats.
Tao Yu sat next to the pillar with an angry face.
At noon, we received news from Ran Liang back to the Zhenxie Division. The matter in the Jingshan Mining Area was perfectly resolved with the cooperation of the Zhenxie Division and the Wu Mansion in each county.
Gu An played an extremely important role in this and killed the murderer Zhong Shen under the cover of three people from the Wu Mansion in Ping'an County!
Ran Liang's wording made the matter more perfect.
For example, several of Zhong Shen's bosses were restrained by the strict use of the environment.
After saying these words, those who don't know the truth may sigh that Yan Gu and others understand the righteousness well, put aside their prejudices in this situation, and help the members of the Suppression of Evil Division.
But Tao Yu knew very well that Yan Gu and Zhong Shen were both there to kill Gu An!
Is Gu An's strength already so strong?
No! This is not true!
Something must be wrong!
Tao Yu kept hinting to herself that Gu An had only been in the Zhenxie Division for less than three months, how could he have such strength!
But when he thought of what Gu An had done along the way.
From defeating Xia Jun of Ningdan with the body tempering, to taking the mission to kill the three Peng family bandits, to passing the assessment and becoming the main candidate.
His strength continuously refreshed Tao Yu's knowledge in a short period of time.
Even so, Tao Yu believed that he was powerful enough to kill Gu An, but due to his status, he could not do it himself.
But now, it seems that he can't kill Gu An even if he takes action himself!
There was a long silence.
Tao Yu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he quickly stood up: "Here comes someone!"
Soon a servant entered the house.
"grown ups."
"Ask Qiao Xing to wait for me in the front hall and find someone to clean up the house."
"yes."
A quarter of an hour later, in the front hall.
Qiao Xing, dressed in black, entered the hall: "I've met your Excellency."
"No courtesy!" Tao Yu took two steps forward, frowned and whispered: "Go and inform Palace Master Zhang tonight and ask him to prepare things. We can take action the day after tomorrow."
"Sir, is it so fast?"
"It takes almost four days to get from Jingshan to Ping'an County. Before Gu An comes back, we must confirm the location!"
Tao Yu said with a gloomy face.
…
Night, Wu Mansion.
Zhang Tianshuo put one hand on the table: "The night after tomorrow."
"Yes, what my lord wants is to hurry up before Gu An comes back."
Under the reflection of the red candle, Zhang Tianshuo's face was dark and unclear.
"Gu An...who would have thought that his strength would grow so fast."
After murmuring, Zhang Tianshuo said: "I know, tomorrow night, you come and get Yin soil, Yin wood and Yin Jin,
Yin fire and water can be found in Tao Yu."
"Palace Master Zhang, please rest assured about this. After all, water is the key point. In the past two months, we have taken on many water spies tasks and collected a lot.
Yin Fire, I used demon blood and Mr. Zhong to exchange some of it before, but it is enough."
…
Three days later, at night.
The cold moonlight shines on the land of Qinghe Town.
Several black figures pulled out a wooden pipe from their waists and inserted it into the soil.
Then he put the hourglass in his hand upside down on the ground. After all the gravel in the hourglass flowed down, he pulled out the wooden tube and took out a piece of white jade from his pocket.
Open the wooden tube and the transparent liquid flowing out drips on the white jade.
After two breaths of silence, Bai Yu showed no reaction.
The black shadow took ten steps forward and continued to repeat the previous actions.
Under a tree not far away, Tao Yu and Zhang Tianshuo, dressed in black, and two martial arts instructors stood under it.
With the help of the torch lit by his subordinate, Tao Yu looked at the map in his hand: "In the first year of Yuanshou, before Young Master Tao Yuan came from Yuzhou to Youzhou to visit the Qian family.
There seemed to be a meeting in the clan, but I don’t know exactly what was said, and my father never mentioned it.
But I could tell from his expression that it wasn't a good thing.
Three days later, he went out with Young Master Tao Yuan.
There should be what we want in the boxes that the Xuelin Guards, three hundred people, are carrying, apart from the gifts for the Qian family.
So before the Tao family was suppressed, some of the tribesmen were sent to Youzhou in advance, but General Xiao Qian intercepted them and killed them all in Resentment Village."
"Tao Yu, there's something I don't understand. Why did you go all the way to Youzhou to seal that thing instead of just sealing it in Yuzhou?"
Zhang Tianshuo thought that if the Tao family was buried closer and could be dug out and used in advance, General Xiao Qian would not have defeated the Tao family so easily.
"Palace Master Zhang doesn't know. The ancestral home of our Tao family was in Youzhou. Later, when His Majesty founded the country, we moved to Yuzhou. We changed the place and needed to re-operate. It was also to balance the strength of the family.
When we took that thing away, the resources used to seal it were exhausted; and if that thing is not used, the requirements on the external environment will be extremely harsh.
As far as we know, the only place that meets the conditions is the ancestral land, so we have to return to the ancestral land and seal it."
"That's it." Zhang Tianshuo nodded.
At this moment, a man in black pulled out a wooden pipe from the earth and poured it on the white jade.
Strange yellow lines suddenly emerged from the flawless white jade, and after two breaths, the white jade exploded.
The man in black immediately stood up and shouted in the direction where Tao Yu and Zhang Tianshuo were standing: "Sir, there is a reaction!"
Zhang Tianshuo and Tao Yu were overjoyed when they heard this and immediately ran towards this side.
After getting closer, Tao Yu picked up the broken white jade and examined it.
"Give me the stuff and I'll try it!"
He took the wooden pipe and another piece of white jade from his subordinate and began to follow the steps of the man in black.
Tao Yu dropped the liquid on the white jade with trembling hands. Zhang Tianshuo and others held their breath and stared at the changes in the white jade.
"Bang!"
The white jade is broken as expected!
"Okay! Come here, dig into the ground with a radius of three feet from the center of this place! Be careful, you are not allowed to use any techniques."
At the same time as Tao Yu gave the order.
A black shadow in the distance ran quickly towards Ping'an County.
…
At the quarter of the hour, the retreat place of Yangling, the evil secretary in Ping'an County.
Candlelight flickers.
Yang Ling was lying on the bed, reading the book in her hand by candlelight.
From time to time he would let out a low laugh, as if he was enjoying himself; he didn't seem to be in seclusion at all.
"jingle!"
"jingle!"
The bell hanging by the bed rang.
Yang Ling narrowed his eyes slightly.
Pull the string at hand to respond.
In the blink of an eye, the door made of fine iron opened.
A man in black quickly entered the house.
"Your Excellency, Palace Master Zhang and Tao Xiaoqi have found the Tao family's ancestral land."
Yang Ling put down the book in his hand, stood up and stretched: "It took a week, but I finally found it.
