Red Heart Survey

The narrow alley, which is only wide for two people, seems crowded when one person walks.

Even if this person is very thin.

A pair of cloth shoes, a single coat, and a small hat to hide long hair.

Single eyelids, thin eyebrows, thin lips and cold face.

The woman's steps are light and slow, and she is always observing the environment, as if she is looking for something seriously. And there is a kind of chill, hidden but not released.

The thin body, thin but sharp, like a very aggressive mantis.

You know she will not retreat, but will go forward.

This lonely walk did not last long, because at the end of the narrow alley, a person turned in.

The distant light outside the alley was blocked by the figure, and the sunset in the distance fell behind the high wall.

The figure of the person hung down, which was quite heavy, like fog and night.

The sound spread with the night.

"Miss Dugu! You have lived in Qingyang Town for a long time, and there has been no movement. Why did you suddenly come to Linzi today? What did the master in Taixu Pavilion tell you?"

The woman in single clothes and cloth shoes raised her eyes and clearly saw the official uniform and the green badge on the waist of the man opposite her.

The fourth-rank green badge constable of the Capital Inspection Office, a master of the outer building realm.

Compared to the other party's tall figure, she really looked thin. But with just a glance, she showed a kind of coldness: "Since when did a small character like me have to be monitored by the Capital Inspection Office when entering the city? Is the Inspection Office too relaxed, or am I too targeted?"

She raised her head slightly, as if she was moving her sheath to show her sword: "What kind of person is my master now? Who in the world doesn't know? Can there be anything that needs me? To put it another way, if this trip really has the master's intention, how can you interrogate him?"

She has been serving Zhu Sui for many years in Qingyang Town, and she is no longer the same as before.

After Jiang Wang achieved the highest level of enlightenment, she, the only "devout believer" of Jiang Wang, had her Xiao Zhoutian embodied as Jiang Wang. People who were truly branded with the Red Heart Seal could show terrifying power at any time!

The fourth-grade Qingpai constables generally had the cultivation of the Wailou Realm.

And she didn't take it too seriously.

Once upon a time, an old man in the Youmai Realm was her lingering nightmare.

"Please forgive me." The young Qingpai constable bowed his head in awe of the "master" in Dugu's mouth, but did not give way: "That lord has too high a reputation, too important a position, and too much influence. If there is anything in Linzi, we must prepare early... The Capital Inspection Office has the duty of internal supervision, and I am just doing routine work. It is not against you, let alone that lord."

"Do you want to know why I came?" Dugu asked.

"If possible, you'd better tell me." The young Qingpai constable said.

"Otherwise?"

"Otherwise I'm afraid I can only follow you."

"Do I have a criminal record?"

"As far as I know, I don't."

"This is the treatment of a suspect."

"You don't belong to Qi, but you have power, so it's hard to say that you are stable. We are here to guard the capital, and it's our duty. Please forgive me."

This is a polite and well-mannered remark. He is really not a simple person.

"What's your name?" Dugu Xiao looked at him.

The young Qingpai constable had sharp eyebrows. He just arched his hands when he heard the voice: "I am Yan Jing, eighteen years old this year, from Linhai County. If you have any dissatisfaction with me in the process of performing official duties, you are always welcome to go to the inspection office to provide evidence."

The eighteen-year-old fourth-rank Qingpai can be said to be young and promising!

In time, he may not be a dazzling figure in the political arena of Qi.

Linhai County...Lv Zongxiao, the former lord of Tianfu City, is now the governor of Linhai County. The former Tianfu City has become more and more prosperous because of the full deployment of Taixu Fantasy.

After all, the Tianfu Secret Realm is a twelve-year cycle, while the Taixu Illusion Realm has people coming in and out every day and every moment.

Three days ago, Zheng Shangming had officially taken the throne of the Capital Inspection Office - of course, this was related to Zheng Shangming's outstanding performance, and probably also because his father Zheng Shi failed to grasp the Zhanyu Army as he wished.

The emperor still trusted Zheng Shi very much. After all, he was the one who had sat on the Beiya Duwei for the longest time, and the one who was most convenient for the emperor to use, which could be said to be "deeply loved by the emperor".

As for the previous Beiya Duwei Yang Weitong, he went to the Southern Xia Governor's Office and will be fully responsible for the security of the ancient Xia land. It is considered a horizontal transfer, with a slightly lower status, but more autonomy, and no restrictions on cultivation. This matter is inseparable from the operation of his mentor Yi Xingchen.

These people are more or less related to the master, or in other words, they have a vague connection with the current Bowang Marquis.

Years of experience in government affairs have tempered Dugu Xiaoyang with a keen political sense. The master was impatient with these trivial matters, so she was willing to worry about them.

She had been staying in Qingyang Town for these years, focusing on world affairs, and clearly saw how the master's best friend, the fat man with a kind smile, grew step by step into a towering tree in this huge empire, and how he cast his heavy shadow.

The real hereditary marquis of Daqi, with overwhelming power!

But this also means that his enemies must also be behemoths.

So Dugu Xiao was very cautious and never let herself become a burden - as a close maid who had followed the master for many years, she might be implicated in the master, and thus implicate the Marquis of Bowang.

"Captain Yan! When the master was in Qi, he took responsibility for the world and severely punished lawbreakers. You have a green card on your waist and uphold justice. What can I be dissatisfied with?" Dugu Xiao bowed his hands: "I came to Linzi and Yulifang this time. It has nothing to do with my master, but I am ordered by Mr. Zhu Sui. I can only say so much. If the capital inspection office has any questions, you can send a letter to the Zhengsheng Hall in Qingyang Town."

The Night Wandering God of Daqi... Zhu Sui.

The imperial night watchman who has continued from the time of Emperor Wu to the present. Although he has retired now, his merits cannot be erased so quickly.

Hearing this name, Yan Jing naturally had nothing to say.

He bowed his hands, said "Excuse me", and then quietly retreated.

In the end, only Dugu Xiao was left in the narrow alley.

This is Linzi, this is Yulifang.

The place where the famous scholar Xu Fang lived during his most destitute period.

Of course, the so-called "living" is just a shack, a bunch of dry grass, and a disheveled face.

Xu Fang, who confessed his true feelings outside Qingshi Palace, has been buried in Ganma Mountain for some years.

The grass on the grave is not high, and every Qingming Festival, there are always people who go to pay homage to him -

Many soldiers who once fought with the master are also buried there.

There are no shacks in Yulifang now.

The homeless people who used to sleep curled up on the ground and beggars who chased pedestrians for food are almost relics of the old times.

Since Desheng Commercial Bank settled here a few years ago, built the headquarters of the commercial bank in Qianjie, and recruited a large number of workers, Yulifang is no longer the poorest place in Linzi.

Poverty has its reasons for poverty, and chaos has its reasons for chaos. The cost of operating a headquarters in Yulifang is much higher than other places. Many people don’t understand why such a smart Marquis Bowang would make such a choice that is twice as effective as the result.

Dugu Xiao understands that it was the master’s decision.

The master won’t say it, but just like when he saved her, he is not stingy with what he can do, and he doesn’t care about any rewards.

The master is not the kind of person who gives out grain and porridge. He is a person who is willing to give people a chance.

Dugu Xiao was quiet for a while, borrowed a ray of dusk light, and turned it into a letter between his fingers.

There were only two contents written on the letter-

"Lord Zhu Sui has some questions about the past that are on his mind, and some clues are in Yulifang. He ordered me to come here to find the answers to history."

"A fourth-rank green card named Yan Jing from the Capital Inspection Office stopped me in Yulifang and seemed to be very concerned about my master's affairs."

The master trusted Marquis Bowang without reservation.

So she was also unreserved.

She knew that Marquis Bowang's wisdom was far superior to hers, so she only stated the facts without analysis.

Then she continued to walk in this narrow alley.

Zhu Sui's past questions were of course old things during the reign of Emperor Wu.

More specifically, it involved a nun in Kurongyuan during the reign of Emperor Wu, and a book called "Ghosts in Sackcloth" in an even more distant time.

Looking at the life of Emperor Wu of Qi, among the many confidantes, there was one who could never be erased. She was respected as "Tian Fei" and was very detached in the harem of Emperor Wu. This woman is very mysterious and is not recorded in official history, but there are some sketches in some unofficial history.

Even Zhu Sui, a close confidant of Emperor Wu, only knows a little about her, not deeply - only knows that she is stunningly beautiful and has a high level of cultivation. She was originally a nun who practiced Zen and was very influential in Kurongyuan.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Qi, Kurongyuan made great contributions to the country.

When Zhu Sui was the leader of the night watchmen, he had enough power and opportunities, but he did not pursue the doubts in his heart.

Now that he is old and weak, he thinks of these things again.

Probably everyone can't help but think about his life.

Or as Marquis Bowang said - when people are weak, they are inevitably fragile.

As for what the doubts in Zhu Sui's heart are, Zhu Sui did not say it clearly, and Dugu Xiao could only guess. She was ordered to come to Yulifang to find only clues about "Tianfei" and "Ghost in Sackcloth".

After many years of vicissitudes, the architectural style and people living here are very different.

It is not easy to find some clues from the past.

Zhu Sui is sure that this place exists.

It is said that the Zibo River once flowed through this place, and most of the people living here were fishermen - that may be a long time ago, perhaps dating back to the Yang State period. Because since the founding of the Qi State, the Zibo River has issued a fishing ban.

The profession of "fisherman" only exists in large numbers in the counties near the sea.

If we trace back to the history of the Yang State period, Dugu Xiao seems to see a vague line - Wu Zhaixue, who wrote "Ghosts in Sackcloth", disappeared when he participated in the Longhua Jingyan in the Sun Palace in 1321 of the Dao calendar.

The book "Ghosts in Sackcloth" also disappeared, becoming a work in history with only a name but no content.

Master Zhu Sui said that after doing this, she can leave.

I don't know if these skills learned over the years can still help the master?

Dugu Xiao looked up at the sunset and continued to move forward.

The master likes to watch the sunset, and she also thinks the sunset is beautiful.

…

…

A setting sun hangs in the sky.

The hazy edge of light is like a door that is gently pushed open.

Jiang Wang, wearing a green shirt and holding a sword, walks out of the setting sun.

This scares Zhong Liyan, who is flying fast, and he picks up Nanyue and starts to chop.

Jiang Wang is also stunned when he sees the two people in front of him: "Why are you together?"

This is the battlefield of Yu Yuan. He fell from the Shura Heavenly Road at an astonishing speed. He deliberately followed the connection between the Taixu Magatama to find Li Yi.

But why is Zhong Liyan standing next to Li Yi?

These two people... are not even close.

Zhongli Yan's powerful and heavy sword was lightly pushed away, and he made a sword flower on the spot and put it behind his back.

He raised his eyebrows again: "Why shouldn't we be together? What do you mean? Am I not worthy of standing next to him? Am I not worthy of standing next to Dou Zhao, and not worthy of standing next to you?"

He was getting angrier and angrier the more he asked.

What the hell!

Taixu Pavilion held a meeting to discuss such a big thing, but he didn't even ask for his opinion.

Forgot who is the orthodox of Taixu Pavilion?

Forgot who helped him become a Taoist?

Zhenjun is great?

The peak is just a scenery that his uncle Zhongli must see!

"That's not what I meant." Jiang Wang was a little bit overwhelmed. This guy was so arrogant that he could be unreasonable. Now he found a fault and his words were much sharper than his swordsmanship: "I'm just curious, curious. Because both of you are heroes in the world, and you are busy, it's usually not easy to meet each other."

Zhongli Yan snorted from his nose, a little satisfied.

Li Yi was still concise: "I'm just passing by."

Jiang Wang was also straightforward: "I have something to talk to you about."

He didn't ask Li Yi why he was passing by here. It was nothing more than those things of the Taoist sect, and Li Yi himself didn't have much time to spare. I've known Li Yi for so long, but I've never seen this guy have "his own business."

Li Yi said: "What's the matter?"

Zhong Liyan's voice sounded almost at the same time: "Tell me about it."

There is no need to avoid Zhong Liyan about this matter. Jiang Wang said: "There are human demons in the world, gathered in Wuhui Valley, I want to draw my sword to wipe them out."

A very calm sentence, but it was like thunder through the sky.

Human demons have existed in the world for a long time.

Human demons have been causing trouble for more than one day.

Why do human demons have been killed one after another, and never completely eradicated?

Because the leader of the human demons, the selfless human demon Yan Chunhui, is the best in the world!

To defeat him, perhaps many people can do it, but to kill him is not such a simple thing.

And he is still restricted by staying in Wuhui Valley.

Once he is killed and forced to flee everywhere, the disaster will be immeasurable.

A restrained and cautious peak and a completely unbridled and selfless demon are two completely different things.

Zhongli Yan pondered seriously: "Wuhui Valley is actually nothing, and Chen State can be completely ignored. The most troublesome thing is Yan Chunhui - now he lives in Wuhui Valley, has been demented for many years and does not know the world, and does not do evil at all. Do you really want to kill him?"

Jiang Wang said: "The worst evil I have seen in my life is the human demon. Protecting other demons is his greatest evil! If this person is not killed, the human demons will not be eliminated. Now use the sword as a hoe to cut off the roots.

"You want to get rid of all your old regrets once you reach the top!" Zhongli Yan was a little envious.

Damn it, why didn't he reach the top first.

He also has many unfinished regrets!

For example, exiling Dou Zhao, defeating Jiang Wang, and letting his father take off his armor.

Jiang Wang did not hide it, and said directly: "Today, the long sword is sharp, and my voice is strong! ”

In the past, in Qingyun Pavilion, he could do very limited things.

In the past, in the battlefield of Xingyueyuan, he could only watch Yan Chunhui take away the mask.

Now he can say that Yan Chunhui must be killed!

Although Zhongli Yan felt sour in his heart, he did not delay thinking about the business. He said carefully: "The reputation of Wuhui Valley is not for nothing. Yan Chunhui's strength is unfathomable. If we want to kill him, we must be fully prepared. "

We?

Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Li Yi say: "I have heard of this person. It is not easy to kill. He is very strong."

Li Yi, who is very frugal with words, rarely said so many words. It can be seen that Yan Chunhui is famous and fierce.

Jiang Wang said: "So I came to you. Taixu Pavilion has the responsibility to maintain order. It is named after the world and should bear the responsibility of the world. Now it has the power to eliminate demons, but let the demons go. How can we feel at ease? Let's join forces and move Taixu Pavilion again. In addition, I also invited Master Gongsun of the Xingren Palace. He has long intended to eliminate harm-"

"That's how it should be! "Zhongli Yan clapped his hands fiercely and said with great enthusiasm: "You arranged it very well. The four of us will join forces. It will not be difficult to kill him."

Jiang Wang: ...

Jiang, the newly promoted Zhenjun, wanted to take Li Yi away like this.

But it is not good to just leave Zhongli Yan here.

After all, when the immortal dragon Dharma was confirmed in Shura Heaven, he asked himself for help. This favor is not easy to forget so quickly.

After thinking about it, Zhenjun Jiang said seriously: "I know where Dou Zhao is. Didn't you say that you were deceived by him last time and were very annoyed?"

He added: "I have a detailed address. I can also draw a route map for you."

Zhongli Yan waved his hand: "I don't care. Now is the time to eliminate harm for the people, how can we stick to personal grudges? ——To do great things, we should drum up thunder and lightning, and we will lose the benefits if we are careless. We should not hesitate too much, let's go now!"

He took the lead and turned to fly out of Yuyuan: "Follow me!"

After thinking about it, he added to Jiang Wang: "Give me the address after eliminating the harm. ”
