After finding a deserted place, Lin Ye looked at the black thunderbolt bead that looked like a pill in his hand.
This thing is a weapon specially developed by Yu Lingwei to deal with practitioners.
Lin Ye now even felt that Yu Lingwei's previous duty to investigate the case was actually to cover up another of their duties.
Up to now, Yulingwei has obviously lost its original role. Even the governor has been sent to Yunzhou to serve as local officials. But as long as Yulingwei is still there, the yamen has never been exposed.
Part of it must still be functioning and still important.
Lin Ye further thought that Yu Lingwei, the governor of Yunzhou, came to Yunzhou to serve as a local official. The emperor made everyone think that Yulingwei had gradually lost his status and was transferred to the local area to become the personal army of the governor of Yunzhou. In fact, it was just to protect the governor.
The mysterious department.
When he was in Lone Bamboo, Lin Ye had seen the power of this thunderbolt bead, which was equivalent to a very sharp flying weapon.
In other words, this allows soldiers who do not know how to practice but have a tacit understanding of cooperation and are well-trained to go head-to-head with Diocesan practitioners.
A team of dozens of people, without Thunderbolt Beads, as long as they are well-trained and well-equipped, is enough to make Diocesan practitioners dare not start a fight easily.
After being equipped with weapons like Thunderbolt Beads, practitioners in the Diocesan realm may not even think about fighting a dozen.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye wanted to pop out the thunderbolt bead to test its power.
Bang.
The thunderbolt beads exploded at Lin Ye's fingertips, exploding into a ball of sparks and black mist.
Lin Ye shook his hand and looked down, his fingers were all black.
The force of the pop was a little too strong, and it exploded on my fingertips before it even popped out.
It does have a pungent smell, and it does burn black.
Lin Ye wiped the blackened fingers with a handkerchief, and then sighed...
There is some pain.
He looked at the mica thunder that looked like a white mushroom. It was said that when this thing exploded, it was equivalent to a blow from a Yimang cultivator in the Wuyue Realm.
So he decided to play it safe. After all, it was a blow equivalent to that of a Wuyue Realm Yiman practitioner.
You can no longer play with your hands.
Step on it with your feet.
He threw the mica thunder on the ground and stamped it down.
Boom!
The tiger was blown off the ground.
A big crater was blown out of the ground. The explosion was really powerful, sending sand and rocks flying.
Lin Ye was shaken by this huge force and flew up. He used the force to roll in the air and landed lightly in the distance.
There was a crater about half a foot in diameter left on the ground in front of him, which was charred and blackened by the explosion.
Therefore, this allowed Lin Ye to conclude that the attack on Tianshui Cliff was not this thing, but a talisman.
But the power of this thing is indeed good, and it is very powerful.
Lin Ye looked down at his feet. They were fine, but they looked very dark, but they probably weren't damaged by the explosion. His shoes were gone.
There is also a circle on the ankle, which should be the mouth of the shoe.
Hearing the explosion, many people rushed over, thinking that it was being attacked again.
Shi Jintang also rushed back immediately. He was going to chase Nie Wuzhi. Before he could get far, he heard this bang.
He knew that Lin Ye was testing the power of thunderbolt beads and mica thunder, but he was still worried.
He gave that thing to Lin Ye. If Lin Ye was really blown up, he would not be able to escape the blame.
If Lin Ye is blown up to the point of becoming paralyzed or something like that, and the emperor knows about it, what good fruit can he still get?
When he took a closer look and saw Lin Ye standing there intact, Shi Jintang breathed a sigh of relief.
He visually measured the distance between Lin Ye and the pit, and said to himself that the General Protector really knew how to measure, and the throwing distance was very safe.
Then he saw the ring on Lin Ye's ankle and the black foot.
"Lord Protector?"
Shi Jintang called out tentatively.
Lin Ye came back to his senses and glanced at him: "Why haven't you left yet?"
Shi Jintang pointed to Lin Ye's feet: "Is this... okay?"
Lin Ye shook his head: "It's okay, it might not be easy to clean."
Shi Jintang said to himself, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, was it because he was a tiger that your old man took a fancy to the Protector-General and entrusted him with such an important task?
"It's okay... Ahem, it's okay. I'll take my leave now."
He turned and left.
He was now afraid that Lin Ye would step on the mica mine and blackmail him, so Lin Ye couldn't do it.
Lin Ye felt the power of the mica thunder, and the experiment was considered a complete success.
This is a blow from Wuyue Realm... As expected, you don't need to care too much.
He had to leave too. When his subordinates saw him like this, in addition to praising him for his awesomeness, they would also sigh with emotion.
People often use animals to describe how powerful a person is. When it reaches the level of awesome, it is already amazing. The only person who can surpass the level of awesome is tiger.
To describe a person as awesome, he may simply be awesome, but to describe a person as awesome, it must be awesome with a hint of stupidity.
Lin Ye pretended to walk back as if nothing had happened. Although he was very good at pretending, but... that foot was really too dark and there was a circle, making it difficult to pretend not to see it.
Returning to the Protectorate, Zinai immediately noticed that Lin Ye's foot was a bit unusual.
"elder brother?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Who fried your feet?"
"I blew it up myself."
"Is it fun?"
Lin Ye: "..."
Anyone else might ask him if it hurts or if he is okay, but only Zinai would ask him if it was fun.
"My brother is a cow."
Zinai said: "The shoes were blown away and my feet are fine. These shoes are not good. We won't buy them next time."
She turned around and said, "I'll give it a try too."
Just before she could turn around and leave, Lin Ye grabbed her by the ponytail.
Lin Ye grabbed her braid and walked back, so Zinai had to give up the idea of giving it a try.
But as soon as Lin Ye let go, she suddenly turned around and ran away. However, she was caught again before she could run out.
This time, Lin Ye grabbed her ponytail and picked her up. She was carried back with her shoulders and an unhappy look on her face.
The way the younger sister asked her brother to lift her up was really different from the way Lin Ye lifted her up.
After Lin Ye returned to the house, he poured water and washed his feet. It was true... that it was not easy to wash off.
After cleaning up, Lin Ye sat down in the study. Now he had to think about how to investigate this matter.
When it comes to the interior of Shangyang Palace, this is the most difficult part.
Even if he is now the general of the Sanbei Protectorate, he has no right to directly send people to investigate Shangyang Palace Fengyu Temple.
If you want to investigate, you have to ask the emperor for instructions, and even if the emperor allows the case to be investigated, it is impossible for Lin Ye to investigate it.
Lin Ye is a local official, no matter how powerful his authority is, he is still a local official.
Before Mr. Xin left, he said that this matter might make the old man come to Yunzhou in person.
This should be the best situation.
Only when the old master came in person and arrived in Yunzhou, as the highest-ranking local official in Yunzhou, could Lin Ye carry out the investigation together logically.
The specialness of Shangyang Palace is both a good thing and a bad thing for Dayu.
Because of the special nature of Shangyang Palace, it can secretly monitor officials.
It is also because of the special nature of Shangyang Palace. Once Shangyang Palace is infiltrated, who will supervise Shangyang Palace?
If the old master is here, he can suppress it. Without the old master, Shangyang Palace will be in chaos for a long time.
Just when he was thinking about this, Xie Yunxi and Miss Xiaohe arrived outside his study door.
Miss Xiaohe was holding a tray in her hand, which contained freshly made snacks and a bowl of rock sugar pear soup.
Seeing Lin Ye, this introverted and kind-hearted little girl blushed first.
This was completely a subconscious reaction, one that she couldn't control at all.
"General."
Miss Xiaohe leaned forward slightly to salute, put down the tray, then quickly took two steps back and hid behind Xie Yunxi.
After Xie Yunxi sat down, he asked Lin Yedao: "Are you messing around again?"
Lin Ye quickly explained: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm not fooling around, everything is guaranteed..."
Of course, Xie Yunxi would not say anything harshly in front of Miss Xiaohe. She had to save enough face for Lin Ye.
"Just be sure of yourself."
Xie Yunxi pointed at the snack: "It looks simple, but Xiaohe started preparing it last night. He got up and started making it after midnight. Over and over again, it made me feel bad watching it."
Lin Ye immediately took a piece: "Then you have to try it."
Take a bite and praise it.
He looked at Miss Xiaohe and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Xiaohe, but...don't work so hard next time. Staying up late will make you nervous."
Miss Xiaohe blushed even more: "Thank you, General, for taking care of me. I'll note it down."
But I feel happy.
Lin Ye said it was delicious, which made her happy.
Xie Yunxi asked Lin Yedao: "Are you thinking about Shangyang Palace?"
"Well, I was thinking that now I can only wait for the old master to arrive in person, otherwise it will be difficult to investigate this matter."
Xie Yunxi asked: "Do you still think that people inside Shangyang Palace did this?"
Lin Ye said: "Even if those talisman papers were stolen, the person who made the talisman papers will not be implicated in any way, even if he is really innocent."
Xie Yunxi nodded.
There is nothing wrong with what Lin Ye said. The Dali Sect priest named Shang Qingyu is the best at talismans. If these talisman papers are really made by him, then he will never be able to escape the relationship.
Even if he is really innocent, even if these talismans were just stolen.
Xie Yunxi asked Lin Yedao: "Have you ever thought about something deeper, such as the emperor's attitude towards Shangyang Palace?"
Lin Ye nodded: "I've thought about it."
He said: "The old master's abdication seems to be to make way for Mr. Xin, but in fact, it is to let Shangyang Palace gradually withdraw."
"If nothing unexpected happens and Mr. Xin inherits the throne after inheriting the position of headmaster, then Mr. Xin may be the last headmaster of Shangyang Palace."
Xie Yunxi nodded.
Lin Ye continued: "The emperor may have seen that there is a problem in Shangyang Palace a long time ago, and this move is to draw out the fire under the cauldron."
"Since Mr. Xin came to the throne, it seems that the status of Shangyang Palace has become higher, but in fact it has been cut off directly from the waist."
"After Mr. Xin, no one from Shangyang Palace can inherit the position of headmaster. Therefore, in just a few decades, Shangyang Palace will really be just a Jianghu sect."
"Decades later, Shangyang Palace is still a sacred place, but it no longer has the ability to influence the power of the court."
Xie Yunxi sighed softly: "Yes...so the old man must feel very uncomfortable."
Lin Ye said: "Now that such a big thing has happened again, I will feel even more uncomfortable."
Xie Yunxi said: "But...just because of this incident, do you think it will strengthen the old man's determination?"
Lin Ye was slightly startled.
He hasn't thought of this level yet. It's not that he hasn't thought of it, but he hasn't thought in this direction yet.
Xie Yunxi said: "If it is really something inside Shangyang Palace, the old master will be completely disappointed with this sect that has been passed down for thousands of years because of the destruction of Tianshui Cliff."
"If he was just trying to cooperate with His Majesty before, he felt reluctant and unwilling to give up. After what happened in Tianshui Cliff, the old man will make up his mind."
Speaking of this, Xie Yunxi paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Ye.
"However, no one really understands Shangyang Palace. All speculations are based on the understanding of Shangyang Palace. Even the emperor may not know what Shangyang Palace is like. Only the old master knows."
When Lin Ye heard this, his eyes gradually became wandering.
