Judge of the Lamp

In the small black room, Xu Zhiqiong saw the scene when Ye Ansheng and He Shuiling were captured alive.

During the whole process, only He Shuiling and Han Chen supported each other, while Ye Ansheng hardly resisted Li Shabai.

He should know that he has no chance of winning.

Li Shabai did threaten to kill them, what he said was very realistic, but it was a threat after all.

Li Shabai didn't do anything, he sealed Ye Ansheng and He Shuiling in a painting.

But afterwards, why did Han Chen and Li Shabai have the memory of killing them?

From this point of view alone, this matter is incomprehensible.

But if a few things are connected, the matter can be understood.

The first time Xu Zhiqiong investigated Da Sikong's identity was from Fuzhou Tongzhi Ji Gufeng, who asked about the secrets of the Nufu Cult. figure.

Next, Wan Qiusheng, a waste snack from Haoran Academy, once assassinated Xu Zhiqiong as an assassin. After being killed by Xu Zhiqiong, Xu Zhiqiong knew the identity of Da Sikong for the first time through interrogating the dead soul. According to Qiu Sheng's description, Da Sikong is Gongsun Wen.

Next, Xu Zhiqiong further confirmed that Da Sikong's identity is Gongsun Wen by interrogating Xiao Songting.

Until the interrogation of Peng Xiunian, the prefect of Yunzhou, the identity of Da Sikong was questioned.

Peng Xiunian said that Da Sikong was Gongsun Wen, but what Xu Zhiqiong saw was not Gongsun Wen.

The only reasonable explanation is that these people have colluded with each other, and even if Xiao Songting had never met Peng Xiunian, someone behind his back ordered them to collude.

Later, after receiving news from Zhong Jianxue that Long Xiulian called Ye Ansheng Da Sikong, Xu Zhiqiong became more convinced of this deduction. Da Sikong was Ye Ansheng, Xiao Songting and others colluded to confuse the public.

But before Long Xiulian died, he also said that Da Sikong was Gongsun Wen.

This lie is a bit clumsy, with Long Xiulian's cunning and arrogant temperament, such a lie should not come out of his mouth.

Especially in that situation, Xu Zhiqiong might kill Long Xiulian at any time, would Long Xiulian prefer to die to hide the identity of Da Sikong?
Is he that loyal?
Now it seems that everything has the answer.

Among the members of the Nufu Cult that Xu Zhiqiong had contacted, those who said that Gongsun Wen was Da Sikong had one thing in common. They all had contact with Ye Ansheng.

Da Sikong is Ye Ansheng.

He has the ability to change a person's memory.

Is there such an ability in this world?

Of course, Xu Zhiqiong has seen it with his own eyes. On the day Xu Zhiqiong entered the product, the master used the ability to change memories to change the memories of two maids and helped Xu Zhiqiong erase the tails of his hands.

Unexpectedly, Ye Ansheng could master such an advanced skill.

He successively tampered with the memories of Wan Qiusheng, Xiao Songting, Peng Xiunian, Long Xiulian, etc., so that everyone insisted that Da Sikong was Gongsun Wen.

Everyone thought Da Sikong was Gongsun Wen.

Everyone thought that Gongsun Wen was a big shot.

No one regarded Ye Ansheng as a big shot.

Even Xu Zhiqiong thought so. He never regarded Ye Ansheng as his main opponent, and always put Ye Ansheng in a neglected position. …

Not only Xu Zhiqiong, if it wasn't for Ye Ansheng destroying the puppet, Li Shabai would not have attached any importance to Ye Ansheng.

Ye Ansheng is very good at making others ignore him.

After Emperor Changle succeeded to the throne, he liquidated a group of courtiers who did many evil things, but Ye Ansheng was ignored, but Ye Ansheng was the main person who made the blood tree for Emperor Zhaoxing, this person should not be ignored.

Counting forward, when King Huai was in trouble, he thought Ye Ansheng was extremely reliable, but Ye Ansheng took refuge in Emperor Zhaoxing, and King Huai didn't notice it at all. In the final analysis, he still ignored him.

He has the ability to tamper with memory, and can affect Long Xiulian.

Long Xiulian was already a top-tier existence of the third rank.

What's even more incredible is that Ye Ansheng's skills can even affect Li Shabai, the pinnacle of the world. Although Li Shabai cracked it, even Li Shabai feels that the tampered memory is very real.

What level of cultivation is Ye Ansheng?

What kind of door?
Why does he have the same technique as Master?
Could it be that he is really just a fourth grade Mohist?
Maybe the Mo family is just his cover, but in fact, he is a third-grade cultivator of a certain Taoist sect.

But there's one more thing that doesn't make sense.

Xu Zhiqiong once had a desperate fight with Ye Ansheng, and almost died in Ye Ansheng's organ, but Ye Ansheng was also seriously injured.

If Ye Ansheng had a level three cultivation, then Xu Zhiqiong was no match at all, and Ye Ansheng couldn't have fought so hard in that battle.

These things made Xu Zhiqiong more and more puzzled.

This Ye Ansheng is really a bitch, even worse than Xiao Songting.

He took out a piece of paper, wrote Ye Ansheng's name on it, and stuffed it into his arms.

This piece of paper must be carried with you at all times, in case you ignore Ye Ansheng's existence again in the future.

After putting away the note, Xu Zhiqiong took out a small knife from his arms.

This small knife is Long Xiulian's weapon, it is always hidden in the palm of the hand, it looks like it is only three inches long, but after injecting the power of imagery, it can be extended to three feet at most.

Good weapon!
Xu Zhiqiong took the knife away.

He took out another wooden box.

This wooden box was found from Long Xiulian's body. The moment Xu Zhiqiong touched this wooden box, he felt a chill all over his body.

What is the origin of this thing?
Xu Zhiqiong tried many times in the small black room, but he still couldn't find a clue, and he didn't know whether his deduction ability was not enough, or this thing was too high-level, just like Taotie's outer body, so he couldn't pass through the small black room.

Take it first.

But will it be dangerous to carry it all the time?
The copper lotus in his arms moved.

It sent a message to Xu Zhiqiong, and it could keep it for Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong took out the copper lotus, and from the lotus heart, a piece of dew spit out and wrapped the wooden box.

The wooden box gradually deformed in the dew, turning into a lotus seed, which jumped into the lotus heart.

Xu Zhiqiong shivered, only feeling that the wooden box released great resentment and hatred before it entered Lianxin.

Just hate it, I don't know what it will look like next time it comes out. …

……

In the northern border, Ji Qi silently watched the camp of the Tunu people from the head of the northern city of Qingge City.

Tunu sent an army of [-] to approach Qingge City. Ji Qi received Chu Xin's order and could not hold out.

The lieutenant was very puzzled: "General, don't you know about Tu Nu's conduct? There are a hundred people who can blow out a thousand, and they said thirty thousand. I'm afraid ten thousand people would be good."

Ji Qi remained silent.

Deputy General Pang Jianghao sighed and said, "Even if [-] people really come, don't you be afraid, how many battles we have fought with Tu Nu, don't you know what they are capable of?

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is almost here, they sent this little army to cut off the trade routes between the two places. We are the ones who suffer here if we spend time with them! "

Ji Qi glanced at Pang Jianghao, who silently lowered his head.

"General, it's my subordinates who are talking too much. The General Cheqi told us to stick to the city. We should obey his orders."

Ji Qi pondered for a moment and said: "What you said is somewhat reasonable. You take five thousand soldiers and go out of the city tonight to find out what's going on."

Pang Jianghao was full of joy, and led someone to order soldiers.

Ji Qi wanted to destroy this group of Tu slaves a long time ago, not because of greed for merit, nor because of the business routes between the two places, but because he felt that the purpose of these Tu slaves was not so simple.

The northern border is so vast, but Ji Qi and his main force were firmly restrained in Qingge City by these [-] Tu slaves.

Chu Xin ordered him to stick to it and not to fight, but if he didn't fight, he was restrained all the time. What if something happened in other places?

Now that Pang Jianghao is asking for a fight, Ji Qi decides to take the risk and try to see how good these Tu slaves are.

After waiting on the top of the city for a long time, there was no movement of Pang Jianghao.

Ji Qi frowned and said: "Pang Jianghao just boasted about going to Haikou, but now he fears the enemy and fights timidly. It's almost dawn, why hasn't he sent troops?"

The messenger went to investigate and sent a message shortly after: "General Pang sent troops an hour ago."

"Already dispatched troops?" Ji Qi was taken aback, he didn't realize it!
After verification, Pang Jianghao did send troops, but not at the north gate, but at the east gate.

Even at the east gate, it is impossible for Ji Qi not to hear a little movement.

Even if Ji Qi used the silent stealth technique, it would be impossible to make the march so covert.

Could it be that there are experts in Pang Jianghao's army?

After a fierce battle all night, at dawn, Pang Jianghao led his troops back in a big victory.

"General, I really didn't expect that today's battle was fought like a god's help,

When I arrived at the Tunu camp, I found that they really had [-] soldiers. At first, I was really scared. I thought about withdrawing quickly, but then I didn’t know what to think. , just fight with them,
Unexpectedly, this battle was really amazing. I picked a random place to attack the enemy camp, and they were unprepared. When they entered the camp, they encountered their central army. Not long after the battle, they killed their general.
Once the general is dead, Mao Sha is in chaos. I will lead my troops to hack and kill Mao Sha's head at will, which is easier than killing a chicken..."

Ji Qi frowned and said: "Don't talk about this with me, do you have someone who is under your command? Hurry up and let me get to know you."

Although Ji Qi has an aloof personality, he respects people with real abilities from the bottom of his heart. …

But Pang Jianghao said with a confused face: "General, how can I have any capable people under my command? The most capable one is me."

Ji Qi said angrily: "What kind of face are you, are you afraid that your subordinates will take your credit?"

Pang Jianghao said with a straight face: "I'm not afraid of taking credit for it. All my sergeants can fight, and they have merit! But if the general says he is capable, he really doesn't have one!"

Pang Jianghao is an honest man, he doesn't seem to be lying.

Could it be that no one helped him this time, but this kid is lucky?

It's impossible to justify the matter of going to the army. How could this kid be so secretive?
While thinking about it, a sentry came to report that Gongsun Wen led more than [-] people, less than a hundred miles away from Yunan Province.

Ji Qi's heart trembled, and he couldn't help feeling afraid.

If it wasn't for the battle last night that wiped out the [-] Tunu outside the city, Ji Qi wouldn't know where to go. Should he continue to stay in Qingge City, or go to Yunan Province to meet the enemy?
I'm afraid I have to discuss this matter with Chu Xin, but Chu Xin is far away in Yu Xianguo. Even with the help of the magic circle, it will take at least two days for news to come and go. The southbound senior officials drove straight in.

No need to think about it now, Ji Qi asked Pang Jianghao to stay in Qingge City, and immediately led his troops to Yunan Province.

When Pang Jianghao returned to the army, he first lit a burner of incense, laid out tributes, and thanked Chi You, the leader of the army.

Liang Zhenjie hid in the dark and sighed deeply.

Doesn't this count as me pretending to be a military master?
The military master shouldn't blame me, right?

……

Yu Xianguo, Xinye County, the chief priest of the Gu tribe, Zu Chi, led [-] Gu soldiers and [-] war beasts, wandered outside the city overnight, and did not dare to enter the army.

Great Chief Lei Gu said: "High Priest, we have already fought to the bottom of the city, why are we still stopping here?"

Xinye County is under the control of Xuan Guo, and Xuan Guo's army did not stick to the city, but chose to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

Ju Chi looked at the arrangement of the army on the opposite side, hesitated for a long time, and gave the order to retreat.

Lei Gu was puzzled: "High Priest, the previous battle went smoothly, why did the troops retreat before the fight started today?"

Ju Chi continued to watch the army formation: "There are powerful generals in the enemy's army. This battle cannot be fought. Tell the sergeants to retreat quickly."

There was a little haste between the speeches, and a big official sentence came out from Ju Chi.

Ju Chi can indeed speak Daxuan official dialect, but his words are too authentic, with a pure capital accent.

Lei Gu was stunned for a moment, then Ju Chi turned his face and said: "You usually learn a few Xuan Guo dialects, and you can use them at critical times!"

……

In the early morning, looking at the north wall of Anjing, in a small courtyard.

Chen Shuncai opened his eyes and looked at Qu Qiao.

Qu Qiao was sitting by the window, mending clothes for Chen Shuncai.

The weather was a bit cold, so Chen Shun wanted to put some clothes on Qu Qiao. He just got up when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Uneven.

What is uneven?

Is the bed uneven, or the quilt uneven?
