Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 897 "Zuo Ming": My job is actually a detective!
"Has it appeared?"

"No, this person really hides deeper than a mouse..."

A group of illusion spells appeared in Qiao Daoqing's hand, which was absorbed from Song Jiang before. With this object, as long as Mingzun is within a hundred feet, his whereabouts can be locked.

However, no matter whether it was just sitting on the sidelines these days, or just now when Li Yan captured the two leaders by himself, spread the word, and then ran away, the spells were quiet and unresponsive.

This peace negotiation is not only the resignation of Song Ting and the rebels, but also means that Wang Qing can steal nearly half of Fang La's vitality and become another participant in the dragon and snake rise to land.

At such a critical moment, Ming Zun was not within the range of Wang Qing's Baizhang, and he had no intention of pursuing him. Qiao Daoqing really convinced the opponent's shrinking ability.

When he arrived at the bank of the Han River, he lowered the auspicious clouds, looked at Song Jiang and Wang Qing who had been put on the ground by Li Yan, and fell into a coma. The means are truly superb!"

Li Yandao: "Because I didn't want to kill them, as long as there is no intention to kill, Tianshu's fortune will not be activated."

Tianshu Yunshu is the Taoist name for qi, and it is indeed very appropriate, because qi represents the protective power in the dark, and it cannot be deceived. If there is a slightest killing intent, coupled with the huge strength gap between the two sides , which fires immediately.

But Li Yan is really not prepared to kill people. Most of the time, he has no intention of killing people, because killing people directly is often the easiest way to deal with problems, not the most effective way.

He likes to challenge the best, and he never bullies others, which is why he is so indifferent.

Qiao Daoqing didn't know the details, but he admired him a lot: "Your Excellency is fighting for the dragon for King Yan, but you are able to show no intention of killing other dragons and snakes. This detached state of mind is really amazing!"

Li Yandao: "I'm sorry... Now that you're awake, why bother pretending?"

Song Jiang and Wang Qing opened their eyes, slowly got up from the ground, straightened their robes, observed the environment, and their hearts sank.

They realized that they might have come to Xianghan from Jiangling, and that a majestic city not far away was the city of Xiangyang occupied by the Yan army. Among the powerful personal guards, there is only "Zuo Ming" who best fits these characteristics in the whole world.

Facing the rebellion that Song Ting feared and hated the most, Song Jiang remained silent, and Wang Qing saluted directly: "Greetings, Senior 'Zuo Ming'!"

Li Yan said indifferently: "Do you know my relationship with the Mingzun cult?"

Wang Qing's eyes flickered violently a few times. He was kidnapped just after he became the master of the house. It can be said that the extreme joy gave rise to sorrow. The most tragic thing is that the other party is still a person who has a deep hatred for Ming Zunjiao. If someone else would definitely deny it, but he took a deep breath and said : "Clear! Ming Zun mentioned the prestige of the senior, and his tone is full of hatred and awe!"

Song Jiang's eyes widened suddenly. They were going to get rid of Fang La and support Wang Qing, but they directly supported a Mingzun disciple?
Li Yan was noncommittal about the flattery in his tone: "Do you have any position in Mingzun?"

Wang Qing said in a low voice: "Ming Zun promised, the other Dharma protectors will be humble, and I can take over the position of Bishop Wisdom in the future..."

"The other Dharma protectors are all dead, so it's really modest."

Li Yan raised his brows slightly. Although his expression was covered by a mask, the slight ups and downs in his voice still conveyed: "As for Bishop Wisdom, this is fate. The previous two Bishops of Wisdom died because of me."

Shaodong's family and his mother are the last Wisdom Bishop and the previous Wisdom Bishop of Mingzun Sect. Isn't this a coincidence?
Wang Qing's expression finally changed when he heard this, his legs became weak under the great fear of life and death, and he said in a trembling voice: "Senior...Although I am a member of the Mingzun sect, it was because of my mother that I was brought into the sect. If I did something bad, Mingzun let me lurk, and didn't let me do evil..."

Li Yan shook his head slightly: "This is meaningless. I believe you are also aware of Mingzun's teaching rules. To join this religion, you must have a lot of faith. Mingzun's training in this way is also to support your superiors, and then you will pay more for the great evil. , naturally expecting a greater return.”

Wang Qing raised his tone: "I don't have to follow Mingzun's words!"

Li Yandao: "You haven't dedicated your own energy to King Ming, which means that your beliefs are not pious. I have such thoughts in my heart, which is why I am willing to talk to you. If you are really so obsessed, you won't be able to wake up at all. .”

Wang Qing fell to his knees with a thud: "Please help me, senior, I have long wanted to leave Mingzun's sect!"

Li Yan said indifferently: "Think about it clearly, if you dare to make a false statement in front of me, you will bear the consequences."

Seeing that look, Wang Qing couldn't help feeling chills all over his body, and said shyly: "I really don't believe in King Ming, but there are many followers of Mingzun Sect, they can help me, and they are reluctant to leave the sect..."

Qiao Daoqing had been watching from the sidelines, but when he heard this, he snorted coldly: "I want the benefits of Ming Zun's teaching, but I don't want to be controlled by it. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Li Yan knows that this is the truth. It is a weakness of human nature to have both. To put it bluntly, I want it all: "Don't be reluctant, the Ming Zun Sect is about to die out. Let me tell you about Ming Zun."

Wang Qing stabilized his mind, and said: "I really don't know who Mingzun is. This person has been in contact with me many times in recent years, but I can't even tell whether he is a man or a woman, old or young. Forget about looks..."

Qiao Daoqing's face was a little ugly. If Ming Zun kept hiding and did not show up, and Wang Qing and Song Jiang, the two peace leaders whom he contacted, ignored him, what should we do?

Li Yan didn't care about this, he didn't expect to know the other person's appearance directly from Wang Qing, but then Wang Qing said: "However, there is one thing that is more certain, this person's status is definitely not low, very It may be someone from an official."

No matter how well concealed personal details are in place, a lot of details will be exposed in conversation and knowledge. What's more, Wang Qing was originally from a wealthy family in Bianjing. Among the four bandits, he has the best background and the most knowledge. Right-hand man and right-hand man, the judgment in this aspect can be regarded as a clue.

Li Yandao: "What is the interval between this person's appearance? Especially when you are seeking Fang La's foundation recently, will Mingzun appear immediately when you need it, or will he appear at a fixed time every day?"

Wang Qing was secretly shocked. How could this legendary rebel look like the cold-faced judge of Bianjing in the past, with a sharp sense of insight in his words, and he dared not hide it: "It does appear at a fixed time, usually after Xushi , I'm afraid it's inconvenient to show up during the day."

Li Yandao: "Are there any exceptions?"

Wang Qing thought for a while, then glanced sideways at Song Jiang: "A few days ago, Fang Jie killed Wang Ying, which hindered our original peace negotiation plan. At that time, Mingzun appeared to spread the word, and it was that time when he promised me to be the king of Chu, replacing Fang La, and making Jinghu truly the territory of my teaching..."

Song Jiang kept silent, but his cheek muscles twitched when he heard this, showing a look of sadness.

However, Li Yan felt that Wang Ying was dead. If these people hadn't restrained their nature, and his avatar was traveling north and south, and the schedule was quite tight, maybe he would take action to get rid of these thieves who humiliated women.

But now that Wang Ying's ship was capsized in the gutter, and he provided the final contribution, Wang Qing repeatedly recalled the details and described the contact between the two sides.

Qiao Daoqing and Song Jiang listened intently, and felt that there was no clue in it, but Li Yan asked after hearing it: "Ming Zun promised you to be His Highness the King of Chu. Why don’t you keep one of the forces that help you steal Fang La now?”

Wang Qing was stunned for a moment: "This...I don't know about this, maybe it's because I'm worried about Fang La's remnant forces making trouble?"

Li Yandao: "If you are worried about remnants causing chaos, you should cut off contact with Fang La all the more. You shouldn't take the same king title, so that his subordinates can use this to recall that Shenggong."

Wang Qing nodded involuntarily, thinking it made sense, and then he thought about it: "According to this, it is indeed a bit strange. The title of the King of Chu was also chosen by Ming Zun at the beginning when Fang La was encouraged."

"Fang La originally wanted to use Liang as his name, but Mingzun asked me to speak, and on the grounds that Great Chu ruled the south in the past, although it was destroyed by Qin, but Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, let him take it as his king's title and separate the south. "

"After Fang La weighed it, he decided that the king of Chu is indeed more powerful than the king of Liang, so he decided on this name."

Li Yan's eyes moved.

He also mentioned before when he officially became the king that the title of the king and the country were not taken randomly. The vassal states in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were often used by later generations. Among them, the powerful northern regime was favored, while the southern one lived in a corner and was not orthodox. Barbarians, such as Chu, Wu, and Yue.

Among them, the state of Chu was indeed the most powerful in the Warring States period, but it was used the least number of times by later generations. Only the state of Chu in Ma Yin during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period used it as the country name. "Chu" has become synonymous with misery. In addition, compared with "Wu" in the east and "Shu" in the west, it is easier to separate the regime, and Chu in the middle has no one to feed.

But no matter what the original reason is, this kind of thing is a virtuous circle and a vicious circle.

The more characters used in the country name, the more influential and favored by the regime, the more they are used;
On the other hand, a country title like "Chu" that was rarely used in history since the end of the Qin Dynasty actually has little influence in the hearts of the common people. If Fang La wants to achieve great things, he should not choose the title of King Chu.

"Since Mingzun has the conversation and knowledge to match his status as an official, he shouldn't be ignorant of this truth."

"It's fine to harm Fang La, but now Wang Qing is still called Chu..."

After thinking about it, Li Yan looked at Wang Qing and Song Jiang: "How many officials with the surname Xiang are in the two camps?"
