White Bone Monkey King

"Good morning, Commander."

"Good morning, Mr. Chen."

"Good morning Li Baihu."

Woof.

"Yes, big yellow dog, you are early too."

Early in the morning, people coming to the Criminal Investigation Department for duty came to greet the three people and one dog who also got up early.

The brothers from the Criminal Investigation Department who just listened to these departures discussed in a low voice: "The commander has sacrificed too much for us this time. Since the complete sheep feast that day, the commander has not returned to the five internal organs to observe and live. He has already eaten I have been living and sleeping in the Criminal Investigation Department for ten days."

"It's eleven days plus today."

"Hey, it's all us who have harmed the commander. We can't control this greedy man! The commander is approachable and won't show off. He always treats us well. We know that the commander is a strict man, but he still wants to be greedy. Eating mutton will eventually harm the commander!"

"Even Daochang Chen was implicated by us. Daochang Chen often gave us exorcism charms and took good care of us. Last time Shi Youde, Wang Zan, and Wang Hu broke into the haunted widow's manor at night, thanks to the exorcism charms given by Master Chen. Only then can we turn danger into good luck!"

Today is a rare sunny day since the beginning of winter. The sun is shining brightly. The Criminal Investigation Department quickly became busy, and no one had time to chat.

The Criminal Investigation Department is in charge of large and small cases throughout the capital, and it also has the responsibility of reviewing the files of major and serious cases across the country. Every day when I am busy, I just hate that one person can't be split in half and have no skills at all.

Except for one person.

Since the spiritual martial arts has greatly improved, Thousands of Hearts and Calamities can be divided more easily, and the lead-mercury holy embryos have all been sealed to 600,000 Yin De level magic weapons, it has become more convenient for Jin'an to use the lead-mercury holy embryos to handle official affairs.

Except for the early morning when Jin An's true form can be seen, the rest of the time those who handle official duties in the Criminal Investigation Department are lead and mercury saint clones.

As for Jin'an's real body, he has been in seclusion in the small courtyard of the Criminal Investigation Department headquarters, consolidating his new realm, and getting familiar with new magic weapons and new supernatural powers.

In particular, familiarity with the newly enshrined Kunwu Sword, the Shang Fu Tiger Beast Face Pattern Killing Divine Sword, and the newly practiced Sun Shooting Technique, the ancient inheritance of Yangjin between the brows, are top priorities.

"Little brother, let me go to the Taoist temple first to help the pilgrims tell their fortunes." Before going to the Five Zang Taoist Temple, the old Taoist limped to the hall of the Criminal Investigation Department and specifically called out to Jin An, who was already reviewing the national case files. call.

"Okay, my old Taoist, your injury hasn't healed yet. I'll continue to send you to the Five Zang Taoist Temple." Jin An raised his head and nodded slightly, and then started to make notes on the case file with a wolf-brush pen in his hand.

Like, really like, the old Taoist priest sighed in his heart, and then turned around and left the Criminal Investigation Department.

He was lamenting that Jin An's clone technique was becoming more and more realistic, enough to look fake and real.

If he hadn't known it in advance, it would have been difficult to tell the truth from the lie.

Only the old Taoist priest and Fatty Li knew about Jin'an's clone in the Criminal Investigation Department.

The news that the Wu Zang Taoist Temple is going to open a second branch in Xiangshan has long been spread in the capital. In the past half month, there are only two topics that people in the capital have discussed the most. The two countries are at war, and Xiangshan has been awarded the Wu Zang Taoist Temple. So now The Five Zang Taoist Temple is at its peak, and the number of pilgrims is even more prosperous. When there are more pilgrims, the old Taoist priests are inseparable from divination. Shayang has deep feelings for the Five Zang Taoist Temple. As long as it has anything to do with the Five Zang Taoist Temple, Shayang will temporarily put away his temper and be merciful.

However, once there is no need for divination for pilgrims at night, Shayang will turn against him. The aroma of mutton filling the capital makes Shayang extremely grumpy. Ten days have passed and he is still holding a grudge. Especially Jin An, the leading criminal, has not been back to Wu Zang Taoist Temple for ten days.

"Taoist Master Chen, you are going to the Five Zang Taoist Temple again." Deputy Commander Cai hurriedly walked into the headquarters of the Criminal Investigation Department. He happened to meet the old Taoist priest and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Deputy Commander Cai hurriedly walked into the hall and handed over a note nervously: "Sir Commander, there is new information coming from the brothers at the border."

Even Deputy Commander Cai, a colleague he interacted with every day, did not recognize that Jin An was the clone in front of him. From appearance to detailed movements, it was difficult to tell the real thing from the fake one.

The abilities of Jin An's clone are astonishing.

This is a small note sent by Fei Ge. There are only a few lines of words on it. The cavalry firearms battalion has been at Shanhaiguan for several days and has not left the customs. The picture is unknown. Is it suspected that it is waiting for the heavy snow to melt?

This time the flying pigeons sent messages was just the beginning. As the weather cleared up, in the next few days, from the northwest pass to the northern pass, flying pigeons continued to send messages with new information, and cavalry firearms continued to arrive at several important border passes. The camps were assembled, and grain, grass and baggage were transported, but without exception, they were all assembled in the pass and did not go out for the expedition.

On this day, two special flying pigeon letters came from Xizhou Prefecture, which surprised Jin An.

——The Tianshen family, the descendants of the monkeys, and the Golden family among the four major families in the Snow Mountains of Tubo sent envoys to follow the tantric lamas out of Tubo and entered Xizhou Prefecture, preparing to enter Beijing.

——When the Tubo envoys were received by the Xizhou government office, they asked the government office about the new commander.

On that day, Jin An summoned the core personnel of the Criminal Investigation Department, including Deputy Commander Yu, Deputy Commander Cai, Deputy Commander Sun, Fatty Li, etc. in his study, and then handed over the flying pigeon information of the past few days to several people. Check it out and ask everyone for their views on the border war.

"There are cavalry firearms battalions assembled at several important border passes. These cavalry firearms battalions are equipped with excellent horses and armor. They are not easy to train. How could so many cavalry firearms battalions be created out of thin air?" Deputy Commander Yu frowned and studied the hangings on the study wall. on the map.

Deputy Commander Cai expressed his suspicion: "We only assembled but did not go out to fight. Could it be that the formation was used to create suspicion, so that the steppe Khanate could not figure out our exit route, making them exhausted, distracting the steppe cavalry, and constantly depleting their morale?" With food and grass?”

Deputy Commander Sun agreed: "The heavy snowfall in winter came suddenly, catching the Steppe Khanate off guard and making them ill-prepared. This long-term consumption is definitely not conducive to the Steppe Khanate."

"These steppe khanates are not engaged in production and rely heavily on winter supplies, so they have to plunder the surrounding countries before winter every year. This time we gathered our troops at the border fortress and made a move to join forces with the Rakshasa Kingdom. , the Steppe Khanate that was not fully prepared for winter must not be able to prepare all the winter supplies... The art of war has it, again and again, and again, and again, and all three are exhausted. First, most of the elite prairie cavalry were held back by us, and then the rear of the Steppe Khanate continued. The news that people, livestock, cattle and horses are starving to death has greatly affected the morale of the frontline prairie cavalry, and they have been wasting away without fighting for a long time. When even the frontline prairie cavalry is in shortage of food and fodder, it will definitely further affect morale. By then we will be able to win without a fight. ."

Deputy Commander Yu's eyes lit up: "After being reminded by Deputy Commander Sun, I remembered a detail. I heard that for the Steppe Khanate to recruit soldiers, men in each family should prepare their own food, weapons, and horses, so when the rear is unstable, , there will definitely be mutiny and chaos in the frontline military camp."

"To subjugate an enemy's troops without fighting is a good idea. This is a wonderful plan." Several deputy commanders laughed. This time, Kangding State took advantage of the right time, place and people. After ten years of raising troops, they finally waited to counterattack the grassland Khan. national opportunity.

"I just don't know which pass we will set off from this time..."

Several people looked at Jin An at the same time: "Master Commander, you have called us together, but what do you think?"

Jin An did not answer immediately, but handed over two notes, which were two urgent letters from Xizhou Prefecture.

After reading the content on the note, several people were startled: "At a sensitive time when the two countries were at war, several major Tibetan families sent envoys to our court. What are they planning to do!"

Fatty Li looked at Jin An thoughtfully: "Taoist Master Jin An, you were in the snow-covered plateau for a few months last year. Do you know these envoys and tantric lamas?"
