After the queen came to the throne, I was forced to be nine thousand years old

Chapter 245 V

Zuo Daoqi looked at Xiao Yan'er who seemed to be talking in his sleep, and heard what the snake said, his heart moved, and he understood that it was Jiang Liyan who was asking for help.

He frowned slightly, Jiang Liyan was in danger?

Was it coerced by Taipingdao?
He shook Xiao Yan'er, "Yan'er, where should I save you?"

Yan'er's eyes were blank, and she just said a few words over and over in her mouth, "Dad, save me."

Although Zuo Daoqi was anxious, there was nothing he could do. He knew that even if Yan'er woke up, he probably wouldn't know where Jiang Liyan was.

After all, Jiang Liyan sits and forgets the three flowers, and cuts off the most emotional memory of her childhood, which is also her most tragic and happiest memory. Although the two are fettered, it is not very deep, not to mention that Yan'er is only a subordinate. , Jiang Liyan's whereabouts, she probably couldn't tell.

Zuo Daoqi took out a piece of [Jiutian Lishun Liquid] from his bosom, put it into Yan'er's mouth, and when she calmed down and fell into a deep sleep, he exited the Demon Locking Tower with a thought.

Ji Lingshu had a keen sense and realized that his consciousness had left his body just now, so he asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

Zuo Daoqi didn't want to talk to her about Jiang Liyan. After all, Jiang Liyan's existence was a little hard to explain. The old bustard of Yuchen Temple?

"It's okay, I just suddenly thought of something about cultivation."

He explained casually, then changed the subject, and asked, "Has the wellhead map of Ling County arrived?"

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, Xiaojizi who went to the county government came back, his face was a little gloomy, when he saw Zuo Daoqi, he bent down and said respectfully.

"Mansion Master, County Magistrate Xue is unwilling to give it."

"Don't want to give it? Why?"

Xiaojizi looked gloomy as usual, raised his head slightly and said, "The old man said that Ling County is short of water, and there is only one underground river flowing through it. Although most of the wells have been treated with rune arrays, there are also a few wells that directly lead to the underground river. Yes, once someone poisons it, there will be no grass in the entire Ling County, so we can't tell anyone about the location of the wellhead."

Xiao Jizi paused, and said with a hesitant expression, "The one surnamed Xue said that this matter is of great importance. If you want the map, let the palace master personally get it, and make a promise on the spot. If there is a problem with the underground river, it has nothing to do with him." .”

Zuo Dodge suddenly laughed, but in anger.

This reason is really impeccable, but doesn't he know who asked him for the map?

What does the county magistrate mean?

He suppressed the smile on his face, and then became cold, "In that case, let's go and see if this county magistrate Xue is an accomplice of the rebels!"

Everyone behind him suddenly showed fear, the Palace Master seemed a bit ruthless.

He just didn't want to cooperate, so he directly identified him as an accomplice of the rebels. This crime, especially when investigating the hideout of the rebels, even if he killed County Magistrate Xue on the spot, no one would defend him.

They silently glanced at Zuo Dodge at the front, and looked away one after another, not daring to look any further.

On the contrary, Yin, who was walking at the end, had a smile on his face again, as if he knew something about this matter.

Who would have imagined that when Zuo Daoqi aggressively brought people to the county government office, County Magistrate Xue had already personally led the people to wait, and before Zuo Daoqi could put on his hat, he directly bowed and saluted.

"Your official Xue Qin has met Palace Master Zuo. The Palace Master must have come here for the map of Ling County. Please come with me. I will fetch it for the Palace Master."

Zuo Daoqi had a half-smile, and thought in his heart that he underestimated the county magistrate when they met for the first time, and said lightly, "Oh? It turns out that Master Xue is willing to cooperate, so why did Master Xue pretend to be difficult when I sent someone to fetch it?"

Xue Qin said hastily, "It's not that the lower official intends to make things difficult, but because the matter is so important that the lower official must personally hand it over to the Palace Master."

Entering the hall of the county yamen, Xue Qin whispered to Zuo Daoqi, "Don't worry, Palace Master, I will give you an explanation for what happened just now."

Zuo Dodge chuckled, becoming more and more interested in this person.

Soon, someone came in dragging a wooden plate with a map on it, and the map was rolled up.

Xue Qin said, "Palace Master, please take a look. This is the map of the wells in Ling County. The Palace Master can take it away at any time."

Zuo Dodge had a teasing expression on his face, and he took a sip from the cup of tea lightly, "I don't need to make a promise?"

Xue Qin felt like sitting on pins and needles, got up quickly and said, "Where is the palace master, it's a big deal, especially in the map there are a few talismans that tried to isolate the well from the underground river in the past. I want to hand it over to the Palace Master."

bribe?

Zuo Daoqi was amazed, this Xue Qin is really talented.

However, he had already opened the map, and naturally saw the three talisman seals in the middle of the map. When he checked his consciousness, he found that they were all fifth-grade talisman seals, named: Command Talisman!

Being able to order mountains and rivers to change course is considered to be the best among the fifth-grade talismans.

But Zuo Dodge has no interest in this thing now, so he glanced at it casually and put it down, focusing on the map.

Suddenly, his eyes froze.

I saw the first line of the map read: In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Su Xiao, the county magistrate of Lingxian County, dug a well to benefit the people...

Interestingly, the well was dug out by Su Xiao and others.

As we all know, no matter when and where a political country is formed, some unspoken rules will be formed in the officialdom. Generally speaking, officials who have served in a place will spontaneously form a faction, just like Su Xiao and Xue Qin had both served as county magistrates in Ling County, so it can be assumed that the two belong to the same faction.

And Su Xiao is now the Minister of the Household Department, enough to become the leader of a faction.

Xue Qin is Su Xiao's person and is also being cleaned up.

He suddenly understood why Xue Qin was perfunctory to Xiao Jizi, the county magistrate was Su Xiao's man.

Stopping Xiao Jizi was for Su Xiao to see, to show his loyalty to Su Xiao, and to give the map to himself in public, and to tell Su Xiao the reason, Zuo Daoqi came to take the map himself, and he couldn't stop him.

No wonder the county magistrate in front of him is arguing first and then respectful, that's how it is.

Wanting to understand the joints, Zuo Daoqi looked at Xue Qin with a half-smile, "It turns out that Master Su dug the well in Ling County, no wonder I said that Master Xue dug the well to rejuvenate the country and benefit the people, and solve the major issues in Ling County. Why are you still in the county?" Let the position be wasted."

Xue Qin lowered his head, "The lower officials are just trying to make a fool of themselves. They numbered the well dug out by Mr. Su for easy management..."

Zuo Daoqi got up slowly and said with emotion, "Master Su is a good official."

Xue Qin looked at Zuo Dodge's back, thoughts were racing through his mind, unable to calm down for a long time.

Changyi stood at the gate of the county government office, with Xiaojizi standing behind him, seeing Zuo Daoqi, "What are you talking to the county magistrate inside? Why did it take so long, did you get the map? Let's go and catch the rebels!"

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly pulled Zuo Daoqi out to where Ji Lingshu and the others were.

Well No.13 is located in the southeast of Ling County, not too far from the Royal Winery.

Ling County is far away from the canal. Although there is a shortage of water, the groundwater is extremely sweet. When Xue Qin sorted the wells, wells No. [-] and No. [-] were inside the Royal Winery and were not open to outsiders.

After receiving Zuo Daoqi's order, Li fear and Shan Yang arrived with Xiaobazi.

The NO.13 well is not exclusive to one family, but a whole six families share this well.

Standing on a high place, Li feared and asked in a low voice, "Shanyang, six families, where do you think the rebels will hide?"

Shan Yang rolled his eyes at him, "How do I know, the Palace Master said to watch first, so let's watch first. Although we don't have much contact with this Palace Master, he doesn't seem like a good talker."

He is a sword cultivator with excellent escapism skills. He traveled back and forth between Kyoto and Ling County in just two hours, and went to the Ministry of Rites to get Zhang Fang's file back. sent out together.

Li feared that he was a little annoyed, "We have all sworn oaths, we are the emperor's people, what dare he do..."

Shan Yang turned his head immediately, and said in a serious tone, "Shan Yang, I advise you not to hold this mentality, you will kill yourself, I know you want to go to Suizong to take revenge, and want to be in the position, but Zuo Daoqi, Absolutely extraordinary, if you really feel that you have the protection of the emperor, go and provoke him..."

"Then you'd better stay away from me!"

Li feared that his expression would change, so he didn't say much.

He has a reckless personality and a bad temper. On the contrary, it is Shan Yang who acts calmly and is very courteous, so he has a good relationship with Shan Yang, but Shan Yang doesn't seem to have any idea of ​​being superior.

Obviously it's all fetal breath, isn't the position of the head of the Mansion of Strange People supposed to be the strongest person?
Shan Yang casually glanced at Li Fear, he naturally knew what Li Fear was thinking, but he had already mentioned something, if Li Fear was still like this, there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a man acting suspiciously on the ground, coming out of a house, looking around, and jumping into the well.

In an instant, he saw the man's face clearly!

It's Zhou Nan!
"There is a situation!"

Li feared hearing the words and looked down, only saw a figure entering the well, but couldn't see the appearance clearly, but how can ordinary people jump into the well for no reason, there is only one possibility, and that is that there is a hole in the well!
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in his hand, and a small, handleless flying knife emerged.

Shan Yang's complexion changed, and he took a step forward, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course it's arresting people!"

"The master of the palace said let us observe, there is a situation to report to him, you!"

"Now he's not here again, the situation is urgent..."

Shan Yang narrowed his eyes, and said meaningfully, "You watch here, I'll go and report to the Palace Master first, and let him make a decision."

After he left, Li Horn's expression suddenly changed, and he no longer saw the impatience just now, as if he was a different person.

Naturally, he is not a fool. How can anyone's temperament not change after such insults as being expelled from the teacher's school? Impatience is his disguise after becoming an abandoned disciple.

Shan Yang clasped his fists and stood in front of Zuo Dodge.

Zuo Dodge nodded, "You guys did a good job."

"Don't dare to live up to the Palace Master's expectations."

Zuo Daoqi smiled, "It's not my expectation, but His Majesty's expectation. The Mansion of Strange People is His Majesty's Mansion of Strange People, and the Imperial Secretary is also His Majesty's Imperial Secretary."

Shan Yang stopped talking, just put down his hands, quietly waiting for Zuo Dodge's next instruction.

Changyi and the others were also there, and when she heard that she had found the whereabouts of the rebels, she stood up and was about to go out.

Ji Lingshu said coldly, "Where are you going?"

"Of course I went to catch the rebels."

Ji Lingshu stood up calmly, "Is it your turn to catch the traitor?"

Obviously this sentence was very contemptuous, but when she said it under her cold face, it no longer seemed so frivolous, but seemed to be a serious persuasion.

Changyi didn't like this, she didn't like Ji Lingshu, if she didn't like the concubine very much, she wouldn't know how many times she would have quarreled with Ji Lingshu in the palace.

So he pretended to be calm and said, "Father said that it was Zuo Daoqi who assisted me in investigating the rebels, and I was the boss, do you understand?"

Ji Lingshu looked at Zuo Dodge lightly, his eyes seemed to be asking, "Is that so?"

Zuo Dodge turned his head, and said to Shan Yang very sincerely, "You go there and pull Li Fear first, Li Fear is impetuous, don't let him go in alone, lest something bad happen."

Suddenly a cloudy wind blew, his nose sore, and he remembered the fear of being sold into the palace when he was a child, and he felt an inexplicable sense of sadness in his heart.

Smallpox moved slightly to dispel this feeling, knowing that it was Ji Lingshu who was reminding him, so he couldn't escape anymore, so he turned his head and said to Changyi.

"Princess, it's still in the investigation stage. I haven't met the rebel yet. When I catch the rebel, I will definitely take you to copy the rebel's lair. By then, you will be very popular with poetry. Maybe you can write poems that surpass Zhang Xiang's." .”

Changyi wanted to say something else.

I only heard Ji Lingshu say to Xia Xiaoyu and Tantai Jing, "Miss Xia, Sister Jing, my sister is a bit stupid, so I will leave it to you to take care of her. Remember to take her around Ling County to relax."

"You dare to scold me?" Changyi called out to Ji Lingshu angrily when he heard this.

Ji Lingshu gave a look, and Changyi had already pulled Xia Xiaoyu out, muttering, "Don't pay attention to her, she is stupid in martial arts, I said those who practice martial arts have muscles in their brains... "

Zuo Dodge couldn't help laughing from the bottom of his heart.

This Changyi seems to be eaten by Ji Lingshu to death. Under normal circumstances, when Ji Lingshu is not serious, Changyi seems to have the upper hand, but when Ji Lingshu is serious, Changyi doesn't seem to have taken advantage of it. .

"Lingshu, you stay here too. Wei Hu, Shan Yang, and Yin Lao and I will take people inside to have a look. Maybe we can find out the rebel base camp."

Ji Lingshu shook her head and looked at him seriously.

Until he looked at her, he was embarrassed to look at her again, so he looked away.

Ji Lingshu said softly, "I have my aunt's tricks, go over and see if it's all right."

Zuo Dodge hesitated for a moment, and said, "If that's the case, let's go and have a look. I don't intend to go in anyway."

"No plan to go in?" Ji Lingshu was slightly taken aback.

Zuo Dodge walked forward, "Naturally, he won't go in. Stability is the priority in everything. The fight and fighting skills should be left to the professionals in the Demon Slayer Mansion. Let's just catch Zhou Nan."

He thought so and did so.

So when he brought people to the No.13 well, he didn't go in hastily, but stood in the distance and observed quietly.

Waiting for Zhou Nan to come out of the well.

Seeing him standing there waiting, Yin really frowned slightly.

Li Horn said impatiently, "Mansion Master, why don't you go in, let's take people in and wipe out everyone in the well."

Zuo Dodge glanced at him, and the emotion in his eyes made Li Fear feel terrified.

"Does Li Lingshi know what's inside? Or does Li Lingshi have other plans?"

Li feared his complexion changed, and quickly bowed down, "Palace Master forgive me, the lowly position is just eager to make meritorious service, there is no second intention."

Zuo Dodge looked at him coldly, "I don't care if you are really reckless or fake reckless, don't play tricks in front of me in the future, lest you shoot yourself in the foot with a stone."

Fearing that there would be cold sweat streaming down his forehead, Li dared not even say it in his mouth.

Shan Yang lowered his gaze, watching this scene.

Around evening, the mouth of the well finally changed. I saw a head protruding out, as if observing the surroundings. After confirming that there was no one there, the man finally poked his head out.

It was Zhou Nan!
Zuo Dodge smiled and said softly, "Catch people."

Zhou Nan's status may not be high, but he is safe. If you catch him and follow the clues, you will be able to find out something.

Li Fear and Shan Yang looked at each other, stood up at the same time, and shot in the direction Zhou Nan left.

Zuo Dodge waited quietly.

Zhou Nan was only a sixth-rank true strength warrior, and obviously he couldn't escape the pursuit of the two sixth-rank monks of the fetal breath realm. After a while, Li Fear pressed Zhou Nan to Zuo Daoqi's side.

Zuo Dodge took a step forward, looked him up and down, confirmed that it was Zhou Nan, and said flatly, "Go back."

At this moment, a chuckle came.

Zuo Dodge turned his head and saw that Yin Zhenzhen had already stood by the well at some point, his face became cold, and his previous kindness and kindness completely disappeared.

"Zuo Dodge, I have to say, you are the most cautious monk I have ever seen."

Faced with Yin Huanzhen's sudden attack, Zuo Dodge was not surprised. When he saw Yin Huanzhen touch the window sill to ask in the inn, he felt something was wrong.

"Who are you?" Zuo Daoqi asked calmly, he was not afraid, after all, this is the boundary of Ling County, and there are real people in the county, and he can arrive in no time.

Yin Zhenzhen laughed out loud, but pointed at Zhou Nan, "You are really...too cautious. There were originally two princesses, but only one is left..."

A tall tower emerged behind Zuo Dodge, looming in the air.

"You don't think I'm going to kill you, do you?"

Yin Zhenzhen laughed even more crazily, a mysterious light suddenly appeared in his hand, and he saw Zhou Nan's whole clothes disappeared in an instant, and his whole body was naked, with countless runes and seals painted on it.

"Didn't you always want to find our hiding place, so the poor Taoist asked the Palace Master and Princess to go and have a look!"

A gust of wind suddenly appeared, and a pair of indifferent eyes appeared in the air.

This eye, which Zuo Dodge had seen before, belonged to the envoy of the Worriless Sect!
His complexion changed suddenly, and he pulled Ji Lingshu and rushed out of the Demon Locking Tower above his head. At critical moments, he didn't care about those people.

Oh oh oh!
The strong wind rolled the fog and completely enveloped the place.

A few minutes later, all the people and things in place, including the wells and houses, completely disappeared!
