Kunlun one millet

Chapter 90

When Marquis Anyang arrived at Jindingsi, it was not yet bright, he rushed all the way into the backyard, and saw Zhao Mi sitting in front of the door in a daze.

"Are you not injured?" Anyang Hou came up and helped Zhao Mi to look carefully.

"I'm fine, let Uncle Shi worry about it." Zhao Mi shook his head: "It's just that Zheng Siyuan and He Dangguan were poisoned, and they are currently being treated in the house."

Zhao Mi, who escaped from Jibao Pavilion, took Zheng He and two people with him. They yelled and yelled in Longzangpu before, riding a black tiger and rampaging, creating a chaotic momentum.Regardless of whether there were assassins chasing after him or not, he directly broke through the city gate and fled back to Jindingsi like a madman.

Zhao Mi made a big commotion. The guards at the city gate saw the black tiger intruding, and mistakenly thought that there was an evil spirit taking advantage of the night. In addition, a fire broke out in Longzangpu, causing panic inside and outside Dongsheng City. Rumors abound.

Therefore, the earliest news that the Marquis of Anyang received was that a tiger demon broke into the Jinding Division, and it was said that it ate several people.

Fortunately, by the time he arrived, the misunderstanding had been cleared up, and the guards of the capital left a group of troops guarding outside the government office, while the rest went to Longzangpu to fight the fire.

"What happened? Didn't you go to Jiujiang Zheng's manor for a banquet?" Anyang Hou asked anxiously.

Zhao Mi heaved a sigh of relief, and relayed his previous experience to Anyang Hou. When the other party heard that he was assassinated in Jibao Pavilion, he immediately changed his face and shouted angrily:

"Zheng Tunan took the wrong medicine?! He dared to assassinate the imperial court official!"

"I really didn't expect that. I thought that Zheng Tunan was just trying to please him. When I followed him to Jibao Pavilion, I didn't have the slightest vigilance in my heart."

Zhao Mi now thinks back, when he saw that the qi in Jibao Pavilion was mixed, he should have noticed the strangeness.As for the overly strong smell of powder on the orchid musk deer, it may be to cover up other suspicious signs.

"It's good that the nephew can escape safely." Anyang Hou was still angry, and his fingers kept shaking: "Investigate! We must thoroughly investigate to the end! Jiujiang Zheng's assassination of the imperial court official is not seeking revenge, this is treason!"

Zhao Mi didn't understand that even if Zheng Tunan harbored resentment towards him, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing, so he said:
"I'm afraid this matter is not simple. Among the assassins in Jibao Pavilion, there is a wolf-headed monster. I can't tell whether it is a monster who has not yet transformed into a monster, or a person who has transformed into a monster."

The Marquis of Anyang said: "Nephew, don't worry, I will immediately enter the palace to meet the king, the Zheng family of Jiujiang will not be able to escape alone!"

"Then... Uncle Lao Shi." Zhao Mi saluted and sent him off.

"My nephew stayed in Jinding Division these days, I guarantee that someone will pay the price!" Anyang Hou was always gentle and kind, but today he rarely showed a fierce look, obviously he was really angry.

After Anyang Hou left, Zhao Mi sat on the steps in front of the door, rubbing his face with his hands, and only after he was out of danger did he start to feel afraid.

"Sure enough, I'm still lax." Zhao Mi whispered to herself.

"You didn't panic this time." Ling Xiao said, "It's just that you are still fearful of difficulties as always. Most of the assassins in Jibao Pavilion have mediocre cultivation and mana, and you can handle them."

"Perhaps I was frightened by Mr. Yangliu. Once I was trapped in the restriction, I thought about how to escape." Zhao Mi sighed lightly: "Besides, Zheng Siyuan and He Dangguan are both poisoned, I can't leave them behind. Compete with others for your own sake.”

With Zhao Mi's current cultivation level, the group of assassins failed to take him down immediately, allowing him to gain a breathing space. Even if he was trapped in the Jibao Pavilion, Zhao Mi would have a way to deal with it.

"Don't forget, you were able to escape because someone broke the formation." Lingxiao reminded.

Zhao Mi recalled the black smoke rising outside the Jackpot Pavilion before, and muttered, "You mean, someone has been following me secretly?"

"Could it be a coincidence?" Lingxiao asked back.

"It's a pity that there was no time to investigate carefully at that time." Zhao Mi tapped his forehead in thought, and the door opened behind him, and Shi Huoguang came out holding a copper basin, which contained a puddle of stinky filth.

"I asked He Dangguan to spit out the poison, and I will use some acupuncture to treat it later. It should be fine." Shi Huoguang asked the servant to take the copper basin away.

Zhao Mi nodded: "It's fine... Sigh!"

Shi Huoguang couldn't help complaining: "It's so good, why was it assassinated?"

"It's probably the enemy I provoked?" Zhao Mi was a little annoyed: "When I came to Dongshengdu with my teacher, I happened to meet Zheng Tunan and had some disputes. I kicked him into the water for a moment of refreshment."

Shi Huoguang couldn't laugh or cry: "How could you do such a thing?"

"Thinking about it now, I guess I didn't control my emotions." Zhao Mi sighed.

Shi Huoguang said: "In a place like Dongshengdu, there are aristocratic families all over the place, so you have to restrain your temperament when you do things. You should also be careful on weekdays, so as not to get involved in the open and secret fights of some big figures."

"I'm afraid I'm stuck in it and can't get out." Zhao Mi said helplessly.

……

The assassination of the deacon of Jinding Division quickly spread throughout Dongsheng Capital, and the news that the eldest son of the Zheng family was involved shocked the entire government and the public even more.

When the lord learned of this, he immediately sent troops to surround Jiujiang Zheng's mansion inside and outside Dongsheng Capital, but he didn't take the men, women, old and children inside to be imprisoned for the time being.

On the contrary, Zheng Tunan, who participated in the assassination, was found dead in an alley in Longzangpu, and the Jibao Pavilion was burned to ruins by the fire, and all the monks were missing.

In order to find out the situation, several officials from the arrest department came to Jinding Division in person, and after some inquiries, they also obtained the appearance pictures of several assassins.

"Deacon Zhao's wonderful pen." Seeing that Zhao Mi drew a picture of several assassins headed by Lan She, the officials praised him one after another, making it seem like they came to ask for ink treasures instead of investigating the case.

Looking at the faces on the paper, Zhao Mi thought to himself that the artistry of the artist was so shallow that he could barely depict the appearance of the assassin based on the foundation of the talisman seal.

"Are the adults going to issue an arrest warrant?" Zhao Mi asked.

"That's right." A school captain with a saber said: "The demon attacked and killed the imperial court official, and he must be arrested and brought to justice. He wants to see the person and the corpse when he is alive!"

Zhao Mi reminded: "But those monsters are proficient in spells, and I'm afraid they have fled far away."

Captain Saber replied: "Deacon Zhao don't have to worry, we have monks who are good at hunting down ghosts and ghosts in our arrest department. It's just a good time to take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate Longzangpu!"

Zhao Mi probably understood that the demon was assassinating in Jibao Pavilion, and he wanted to come to Longzangpu to hide the filth for a long time.It's just that Longzangpu's property is unusual. It is estimated that many princes and nobles are involved in it. As the government office of the imperial court, the arrest department may not be able to investigate this place.

But this time, it is said that he got the king's clear order, and the arresting officer vowed to make some achievements.

As far as Zhao Mi knew, the arresting department was the government office set up by the king when he ascended the throne, and it was also where monks and magicians came.

The arrest department may not all be monks and magicians, there are also many soldiers and soldiers, so the arrest department also needs talisman weapons.This time I came to Jinding Division to inquire, obviously with the intention of friendship.

After sending away several apprehension officials, before Zhao Mi sat down to take a breather, another servant reported that someone from the Chongxuan Pavilion had come to inquire.

"Chongxuan Pavilion?" Zhao Mi almost laughed out loud. He was assassinated by Zheng Tunan, and he hadn't taken the initiative to find trouble with Jiujiang Zheng's and Chongxuan Pavilion, but they came to him first.

Zhao Mi asked, "Who did Chongxuan Hall send here?"

"It's a female cultivator who calls herself Jiang Ru."

Zhao Mi was taken aback, waved his hand and said, "Let her in."

A moment later, the servant brought Jiang Ru, who was dressed in black, to see Zhao Mi instructing other monks to carve a stone pillar.

"Deacon Zhao, long time no see." Jiang Ru said.

"Huh? Oh." Zhao Mi casually turned around to answer, then raised his finger and pointed to the top of the stone pillar, and said to the other monks: "The cloud-pattern relief can not only look at the front, but also consider the operation of the sun on a weekly basis, so as to carry the yin and yang energy. This corner needs to be chiseled a bit more.”

Jiang Ru saw that Zhao Mi turned around and was about to speak, but the other party brushed past her, gesticulated in the distance, and shouted loudly: "How many times have I told you that the Shipi Decoction must be closed! If you do this again Lazy and casual, I will stuff your heads into the alchemy furnace!"

The servants in the distance were obedient, Jiang Ru smiled helplessly, opened her mouth slightly, and before she could say anything, Zhao Shu picked up the book and flipped through it, then walked quickly across the courtyard, Jiang Ru had to hurry to follow.

"What's the matter with this batch of tiger amber? Why did you use so much?" Zhao Mi found Shi Huoguang, who was chiseling Kunlun jade.

"Tiger amber? Aren't they all used to refine Miasma Powder?" Shi Huo's light was unclear, so he saw Jiang Ru when he looked away, and raised his chin slightly to signal: "Is she looking for you?"

Zhao Mi was discouraged. The busy atmosphere he created with great difficulty was directly pierced by the unreasonable Shi Huoguang.

"Deacon Zhao, excuse me." Jiang Ru said, "I have something important to discuss with you."

"Talk? What's there to talk about?" Zhao Mi rolled up the book, with forked arms in front of him: "Sinister and cunning people like me don't dare to talk to Gao Zhen in Chongxuan Pavilion, lest they disturb people's eyes and ears!"

Jiang Ru bowed slightly, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, and said, "The Chongxuan Pavilion already knows about the assassination of Jibao Pavilion, and I'm here to convey the meaning of the chief seat—Zheng Tunan's plot to assassinate was definitely not ordered by the Chongxuan Pavilion."

"Wow, it's really rare." Zhao Shu said with a sly voice: "I am so touched and honored that Liang Guoshi can take the initiative to make a statement when the next generation of filthy dirt escapes from the gate of death!"

Jiang Ru still bowed her head, her tone was soft: "I understand that Deacon Zhao harbors resentment, and I came here this time to ask for an explanation."

"Don't! You don't need to explain." Zhao Mi raised his hand to stop him: "I'm really afraid of you. The last time you appeared, you directly disrupted a happy event. My life is too thin to stand up to you Jiang Daxian Toss. I beg you, hurry up and go!"

If it had been in Xingluo County, Jiang Ru would have lost her composure and went crazy after being squeezed out by Zhao Mi, but this time she was surprisingly calm and said:
"I know who planned the assassination."

Zhao Mi's face darkened, and he said coldly: "You know? Or did you say that you were in collusion with the person who planned the assassination, and then when the situation was revealed, you came to the door to confess your accomplices, so as to get rid of the crime and protect yourself?"

"I do have contacts with the other party." Jiang Ru replied.

Zhao Mi didn't expect the other party to admit it so straightforwardly, so he asked again: "Then are you going to say that you were used by the other party without knowing it?"

"Yes, I originally thought that the other party planned to make friends with you when he saw that Deacon Zhao became a new member of the court." Jiang Ru said.

"You bullshit newcomer!" Zhao Mi wanted to scold again, but seeing that Jiang Ru was unmoved, he restrained his emotions and asked, "And then? Master Liang asked you to pass on these words in the hope that I would not pursue the matter." Chongxuan Pavilion? If it’s so big, it’s unnecessary, I, Zhao Mi, don’t have such power, but I hope Liang Guoshi won’t trouble me for it.”

Jiang Ru said: "The chief asked me to tell Deacon Zhao that the person who planned the assassination has been found. If Deacon Zhao is willing, he can go with me."

Zhao Mi narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Shi Huoguang: "What do you think?"

Holding the carving knife in his hand, Shi Huoguang was stunned for a while: "You, you are an adult, and I can't help you."

Zhao Mi looked at Jiang Ru: "I don't understand why Liang Guoshi asked you to talk about this matter? Why didn't you directly inform the arrest department?"

Jiang Ru didn't answer directly: "The chariots and horses are outside the courtyard. Deacon Zhao can go with me at any time. I'm just afraid that if the delay is too long, the other party will be hard to find."

Zhao Mi thought about it, and then went back to her room, tidied it up, picked up the bamboo box, and said to Jiang Ru, "Go! I want to see who is trying to kill me."

……

Sitting in the horse-carrying car again, Zhao Mi and Jiang Ru remained silent.

Zhao Shu put the bamboo box in front of him, took out a stack of charms from it, inspected it and stuffed it into his sleeve, and took out a ball of yellow-brown silk thread, which was the continuation of the tendons that had been sacrificed by the nuns of Yuyi Pavilion, and it was very tough. Millet wrapped it around the root of her finger.

Then they took out the clay pots and pills and fiddled with them one after another, looking as if they were ready for battle.

"Actually, you don't have to be like this." Jiang Ru said, "The head seat has already left."

Zhao Mi raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't you say it just now?"

"There are outsiders here, of course I can't speak out." Jiang Ru sighed softly: "You don't even think about it. Now that the arrest department has not found the assassin, even if I know the identity of the other party, it will be very difficult to find out his whereabouts."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Mi stared at Jiang Ru, and the Qingxuan pen was already in use.

Jiang Ru shook her head lightly: "I didn't lie to you, but the first person asked me to come to you. The person who planned to assassinate you was a half-demon named Qing Luoyi. girl."

"Miss Xianhui?" Zhao Mi had heard of this name before. Didn't He Dangguan rely on this prostitute to find the Zheng family of Jiujiang?

"Qing Luoyi is the head of a ghost market near Dongshengdu." Jiang Ru said, "I went to Qing Luoyi to do business, and the other party asked me for news about you. I didn't think much about it at the time, but now Only then did I realize that this person is trying to deal with you, and he has planned it for a long time."

"Ghost market? Is there such a place near Dongshengdu?" Zhao Mi frowned: "The ghost market has always been a place where goblins and ghosts gather, and has always been hated by people who cultivate immortals. The Chongxuan Hall is also near Dongshengdu. Feishan, how could Liang Guoshi allow the ghost market to exist?"

Jiang Ru said: "After this incident, do you think the ghost market can survive? The arrest department searched Longzangpu just to find the entrance of the ghost market and wipe it out completely. It has been a long time since the arrest department, you encountered The assassination just gave them this opportunity."
