Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 854 Who is the evil spirit of Qiancheng Kingdom?

Xu Zhiqiong is sorting out clues from various sources in the Marquis's Mansion. The news received from various sources these days made Xu Zhiqiong gradually lock on a person.

Duan Zi Fang.

According to the descriptions of Hong Zhenkang, Hong Huayun, Zhao Zhipeng, and generals from various places, recently, a person named Duan Zifang approached them.

Hong Zhenkang had the most contacts with Duan Zifang. In order to clarify the relationship, Hong Zhenkang described the incident in the most specific way, thus bringing out another important person.

"The man said he was Duan Zifang's disciple. He never spoke, but he liked to stare straight at the widow, which made the widow flustered."

Xu Zhiqiong didn't ask about this disciple's appearance. For him, changing his appearance shouldn't be a complicated matter.

Xu Zhiqiong only made one verification.

Because Hong Huayun repeatedly emphasized in prison that he was the prince of Qiancheng, Xu Zhiqiong wanted to see what Hong Zhenkang said.

"Who is the crown prince of Qiancheng Kingdom?"

"It's Hong Huayun, the Second Holy Son." Hong Zhenkang answered very simply. Although he regretted it very much after answering, he could only tell the truth because Xu Zhiqiong used the mantra.

"The old man has been dealing with the traitors recently, and he is very tired. If he speaks foolishly, Yunhou must not take it seriously."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "Don't be alarmed, King Lu, I'm just asking casually. You said that Hong Huayun is the crown prince. Do you have evidence?"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

After saying this, Hong Zhenkang regretted it even more.

He repeatedly begged Xu Zhiqiong not to take his stupid words seriously.

Xu Zhiqiong didn't care about his stupid words, he confirmed one thing first, Hong Zhenkang's memory had been tampered with.

In this incident, the memories of those who have seen Duan Zifang have been tampered with.

Duan Zifang is Ye Ansheng?

Xu Zhiqiong observed Duan Zifang twice with his magical eyes, but he didn't see his real face, and there was a mist in his magical eyes.

Since coming to Qiancheng Kingdom, Duan Zifang is the only one who can avoid the eyes of the gods.

This person's cultivation is likely to be above the mortal world, and Ye Ansheng should not have such abilities.

The disciple following Duan Zifang should be Ye Ansheng.

Who is the identity of that Duan Zifang?

According to Qiongqi's description, Ye Ansheng arrived, and the person who wanted to ignite Qiancheng Kingdom's resentment also arrived.

Ye Ansheng is his subordinate, so Duan Zifang should be a high-ranking member of the Nufu Sect, or even the original Nuzu himself.

Xu Zhiqiong is more inclined to the latter, because with Qiongqi's identity and personality, in the Nufu Cult, only a role like Nuzu can attract Qiongqi's attention.

Nuzu wanted to ignite the resentment of Qiancheng Kingdom and awaken something in Qiancheng Kingdom.

Something about Qiancheng Kingdom has troubled Xu Zhiqiong for a long time. According to Xue Yun, he should be an evil spirit.

Summarized carefully, Xu Zhiqiong has heard three ways to wake up this evil spirit.

The first type, cultivators above the mortal world, who do not have the blood of the thousand chariots, but come to the kingdom of the thousand chariots, may awaken the evil spirit.

This statement comes from Master, but Master also said that there is a problem of probability.

As far as Xu Zhiqiong knows so far, many extraordinary cultivators have come to Qiancheng Kingdom, and they may not all have the blood of Qiancheng.

But the master has emphasized one thing, judges above the mortal world must never come to Qiancheng.

This is also something that Xu Zhiqiong must pay attention to. His cultivation base has reached the third rank, and it is still unknown which stage he is in the third rank.

The second way is to take that stone eye out of Qiancheng Kingdom, which will awaken the evil spirits in Qiancheng Kingdom.

That stone eye is the eye of chaos, this matter has been confirmed in Yuan Chengfeng's confession.

What is the connection between the Eye of Chaos and that evil?
The most likely connection is that the Eye of Chaos is the eye of the Evil, and that Evil is Chaos.

Chaos lurks in Qiancheng Kingdom, and he doesn't want anyone to take his eyes away.

The third method, which is the method that Qiongqi just mentioned, ignites the resentment of Qiancheng Kingdom, which can awaken the evil spirit.

This is what Duan Zifang is doing.

But this statement seems to contradict the first statement.

Since Duan Zifang wanted to wake up the evil spirit, why didn't he just use his power above the mortal world?
As long as he is not a thousand-year-old man, and he exerts the power above the mortal world, it is possible to awaken the evil spirit. Such an operation is much easier than igniting resentment.

"Qiang, do you think this is the truth? In fact, he doesn't have to ignite Qiancheng Kingdom's resentment,

Ah Qiong, speak up! "

Xu Zhiqiong called more than a dozen times, and Qiongqi responded.

"Xu Zhiqiong, there is a simple truth, I don't know if you understand it or not,

When a person is awakened suddenly while he is asleep, he will feel extremely angry, and he will want to kill the person who woke him up. "

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and said, "Did I wake you up?"

"Do you think there are others?"

"Are you trying to kill me now?"

"Silly boy, we have been in love for so many years, how could I be willing to kill him?" Qiongqi laughed and said, "If you don't believe me, let me out and try?"

Xu Zhiqiong laughed dryly, and returned to what he said just now: "If that person awakens Chaos, then Chaos will keep chasing and killing that person, isn't that the reason?"

Xu Zhiqiong deliberately described the evil as chaos, hoping to get the answer from Qiongqi.

Qiongqi exclaimed: "Don't mention his name, don't talk about him, why are you dying?"

The evil spirit of Qiancheng Kingdom is really chaos!
The chaos has not yet awakened, and the Qiongqi Yuanshen is in my body, so who is the evil spirit descending from the north?

Xu Zhiqiong temporarily put this question aside, and then asked the question just now: "If that person ignites his resentment, won't the evil spirits of Qiancheng Kingdom wake up?"

"You'd better not call him evil," Qiongqi corrected Xu Zhiqiong's title, "Ignite resentment, it is a magic circle, a magic circle that can wake him up, it is equivalent to waking him up in a silent way, Not only will it not provoke him, but it will also make him use it for himself."

For your own use?
Mother, this is a big deal!

There is already an evil spirit in the north.

According to Xue Yun's description, that evil spirit is most likely under the control of the Nufu Cult.

If there is another evil spirit under the control of the Nufu Sect, all the countries in the world will fall into the hands of the Nufu Sect!
"The resentment of Qiancheng Kingdom is not enough, is it?"

Qiongqi sniffed and said, "Behind the barrier, I can only perceive a limited amount of breath. If you open an opening in the barrier and send some breath in, I can tell whether it is enough or not."

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile on his face, "Qiang, step back."

"Heh~ Back off, back off!" Qiongqi responded several times, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Resentment, resentment is the key!
While thinking about it, Chang De came with Qin Yan.

"Master Hou, the Divine Lord invites you to go to the palace."

Xu Zhiqiong knew what Hong Zhenji was up to. He had already received the news that Tu Nu had raised his troops.

"No, let him come to see me, I'll wait for him here."

Qin Yan didn't say much, and hurried back to the palace, conveying Xu Zhiqiong's meaning in the original words.

Hong Zhenji was very annoyed when he heard the words: "I am the lord of a country, why should I visit him, a foreign marquis?"

After all, within an hour, Hong Zhenji came.

This is the benefit of mediocrity.

He will complain about many things, and after the complaints, he will not be entangled all the time.

When they came to the Marquis's mansion, Xu Zhiqiong didn't come out to greet him, Hong Zhenji was dissatisfied, but he didn't show it on his face, he still smiled like he did when he was a prince, "Marquis Yun, I haven't seen you for a few days, it's like three autumns. "

Xu Zhiqiong stood up and saluted, "What virtue and ability does Xu have, dare to trouble God and Your Majesty."

Twice courteous, each seated.

Xu Zhiqiong didn't want to go to the palace because he didn't want to chat with Hong Zhenji.

Unexpectedly, in the Marquis's Mansion, Hong Zhenji still insisted on tearing up the idleness.Xu Zhiqiong gradually became impatient with all kinds of polite words, and motioned others to leave, saying to Hong Zhenji, "Speak business!"

Seeing Xu Zhiqiong's expression changed, Hong Zhenji hurriedly said: "Tu Nu is about to fight over, and the alliance between the two countries will be decided early."

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "Don't talk about forming an alliance, first talk about meeting the enemy."

Hong Zhenji shook his head and said, "Your Honor, Qian Cheng has no power to meet the enemy right now."

"Qian Cheng claims to be the second most powerful in the world, so how can he say that he is powerless to meet the enemy?"

Hong Zhenji said helplessly: "These are all self-proclaimed words. If Yun Hou wants to make a few words of ridicule, I will listen here. Just don't take Yun Hou seriously!"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "Whether it's true or not, this battle must be fought. There is a huge sea between Daxuan and Qiancheng. Even if an alliance is made, the reinforcements will not be able to arrive immediately."

Hong Zhenji said in astonishment: "Didn't Marquis Yun say before that if Tunu attacked Qiancheng, Daxuan would attack Tunu, and the two took care of each other. Tunu dare not violate the border again, but now he will break his promise?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I'm talking about taking care of each other, what do you take care of Da Xuan now?
Even if Daxuan sends troops to attack Tu Nu now, Tu Nu can resist for a while,
You don't even want to resist, and then Tu Nu will drive straight in, how will you let Daxuan take care of you? "

Hong Zhenji was speechless, but Xu Zhiqiong said firmly: "This battle must be fought!"

Hong Zhenji stopped arguing, and called Qin Yan in: "Yun Hou said that we must fight, so tell Yun Hou about our family background."

Qin Yan picked up the account and said solemnly: "A thousand chariots have an army of 80..."

"Don't be so nonsense!" Hong Zhenji said angrily, "When is it, and you still say 80?"

Qin Yan closed the accounts and said directly: "Among the armies in all states and counties, there are actually more than 37 registered sergeants."

Less than half?

This is even less than what Xu Zhiqiong investigated.

Xu Zhiqiong squeezed his chin and said: "There are more than 30 soldiers and horses, it's good if they can fight."

Hong Zhenji smiled wryly: "If they can fight wars, then it will be really good."

Qin Yan said: "Except for the old and the weak, there are less than 20 capable soldiers in the army."

Xu Zhiqiong blinked: "Can the 20 troops be transferred to the northern border within a month?"

Qin Yan shook her head and said, "Qiancheng has a vast territory, and less than [-] people can be transferred to the northern border within a month."

"A [-] army can fight a battle."

Hong Zhenji said in a low voice, "Ordnance is not enough."

One hundred thousand ordnance is not enough?
"How much ordnance do you have?"

Qin Yan said: "Barely enough to support 5 people."

"What does it mean to be barely supported? Are the armor, bows, long and short weapons all fully equipped?"

Qin Yan replied truthfully: "Each person can only be equipped with one weapon."

This support is really reluctant.

This is the standing army of Qiancheng Kingdom.

Xu Zhiqiong was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Call craftsmen from all over the world to build ordnance immediately, and first ensure that the garrison in the north has sufficient ordnance."

Hong Zhenji sighed and said, "I don't know how many craftsmen there are willing to contribute to the imperial court."

Xu Zhiqiong raised his eyebrows and said: "Why do you work for you? Hire them with money, issue a call to action, and say that they will fight Tunu, reward and recruit craftsmen, and equip the armaments as soon as possible!"
