Fu Shifeng

Chapter 21
"Of course there are rewards. Your Baochang society has contributed a lot to put down the chaos this time, and the Duhufu will not turn a blind eye."

As soon as the Chief Protector of Qi finished his praise, he changed the subject immediately: "But your Baochang Society ambushed the Maocai Society in the Dashahai area for the sake of Manizhu, and even killed Wu Maocai."

Cheng Sanwu didn't see the slightest timidity: "I didn't kill Wu Maocai. He was swallowed by the Qianshadilong. I can only blame my bad luck. What's more, Manizhu was originally carried out by our Baochang Society and Baima Society." The escort was the Maocai Club who killed and seized the treasure midway. Moreover, the Duhu Mansion also sidetracked and helped the Maocai Club capture us."

Su Wangting repeatedly made eye contact with Cheng Sanwu, lest he offend Qi Dahu.Fortunately, Daduhu himself didn't change his color: "Manizhu involves a lot, right or wrong, it's hard to decide for a while, the government will not pursue it for the time being...Mr. Changqing, I heard that you are a guest of the Maocai Society?"

"That's right." Mr. Changqing said urgently: "There is an important matter right now, so that the general guard can know it."

"Is it about the recent abnormal energy in the Western Regions and the backlash of magic spells?" Qi Dadu said confidently: "Several magicians in the mansion were injured when they followed the army to suppress the chaos. The mansion also roughly guessed the reason."

"Exactly." Mr. Changqing explained in detail: "I guess that some masters used a certain place in the Tianshan Mountains to activate a vast barrier to cover the Western Regions, so that pagan spells cannot be cast at will. But my Taoist spells often have tricks. Once the yin and yang energy of the world is cast in the enchantment, it will be backlashed immediately. And the stronger the spell power, the deeper the backlash."

Qi Daduhu pondered for a moment with a serious face, and then asked: "I heard that Manizhu is not a sacred object of Zoroastrianism?"

Mr. Changqing replied: "My teacher Daguan Daguan of Fuzang Palace was watching the stars and watching the gas in Songyue Mountain. As early as more than ten years ago, he discovered that the star fell far away from the South Pole. The Great Xia Territory, it is expected to be the star marrow that can connect Zhou Tian."

"Can this object assist spell casting?" Qi Dadu asked.

"It is indeed very useful!" Mr. Changqing said in a serious tone: "There is a very profound achievement in Taoist magic, called 'the cave in the pot', this method is to open up a small world in the pot. The sun and the moon shine brightly in the pot. , the rest of the stars, clouds, mountains, rivers, vegetation, and all kinds of spirits are no different from the outside world, and can even contain palaces, towers, cities, and countryside. If you want to create such a cave in a pot, you must use the star marrow."

When Mr. Changqing mentioned that he was familiar with things, he naturally started to talk non-stop. Chief Qi Dahu was quite patient and asked curiously, "Mr.

"I... naturally can't do it." Mr. Changqing is not so arrogant: "Although there are records in the book, there are only a handful of people who can create a cave in a pot throughout the ages."

"Sir, what do you think is the intention of that person pretending to be a Zoroastrian priest to seize the star marrow?" Qi Dahu asked.

Mr. Changqing shook his head and said: "I'm not sure, but that person can lay a vast barrier and drive powerful monsters, which shows that his magic skills are extremely high. In his hands, the star marrow will definitely exert great effects."

The General Protector of Qi agreed: "Our government believes that most of the recent turmoil in the Western Regions is related to this person. A group of rebel remnants from the Shunish tribe were captured during the quelling of the turmoil. They believe in Zoroastrianism and claim to be ordered by the leader."

"Master?" Su Wangting was puzzled.

"What do you think of Master Su?"

Su Wangting replied: "Xiaomin once learned about Zoroastrianism from the Elder Mushid. Whether it is the old Persian land or the Western Regions, Zoroastrianism does not have the position of 'leader'."

"In this way, claiming to be the leader can be regarded as treason." Qi Dadu immediately set the tone for the current situation: "The demons are using the name of Zoroastrianism to gather crowds to cause chaos. The government must kill them all and stabilize the Western Regions."

Mr. Changqing crossed his hands in a salute: "Dadu protects this move to save the world and the people. It will be cherished for the rest of the year, and the descendants of the family will be blessed."

Cheng Sanwu glanced at Mr. Changqing in surprise. This guy was used to being arrogant in the past, and he never pretended to treat others. He didn't expect to be able to pay such flattery.

"This is the responsibility of the government." Qi Dadu defended: "The first thing to do now is to find the location of the lair of this group of monsters and rebellious parties. It should also be the blessed place where the enchantment is activated. Is this right?"

"Exactly."

"Then I will trouble Mr. Changqing to assist the government and investigate together with the other masters." Qi Dadu's tone was steady and plain: "As for Su, the scouts of the Baochang Society may have to work a lot to communicate with the government. Soldiers and horses went into the mountains together to search."

Su Wangting immediately replied respectfully: "Baochang Society dare not obey."

Chief Protector Qi turned his attention to Cheng Sanwu again: "Now the Western Regions are covered by an enchantment, and advanced spells are not dared to be used at will. Our government plans to gather a few teams of brave vanguards. After finding the lair of the rebellious party, take the risk to enter, Cheng Sanwu you Would you like to participate?"

"Count me in." Cheng Sanwu didn't have so many literary words in his stomach: "Calculating carefully, I have fought with monsters several times, and I guess it was all caused by the false leader, and I have settled my enmity with him. "

"Then I hope you can take the lead when the time comes." Chief Protector Qi easily arranged the responsibilities of the three, and finally looked at Afu, hesitated a little, and asked, "This girl, are you..."

Afu was silent just now, at this moment she took out a pair of fish charms from her bosom: "The Embroidered Emissary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I was ordered to come and investigate the Manizhu."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed, and everyone's eyes were on Afu.Especially Cheng Sanwu and Su Wangting, their expressions changed and they couldn't say a word.

The Chief Protector of Qi immediately got up and left his seat, stepped forward to take the fish amulet for inspection, and returned it to Afu after confirming that it was correct.

Afu's demeanor was unpredictable, and she felt elusive. She said in a cold tone: "It's not necessary for the general guard to be like this. Now I have figured out that the Mani beads are not sacred objects of Zoroastrianism, and I have also learned the truth about the demons making trouble."

The Grand Duhu of Qi has a high position and power in the Western Regions, so it can be said that life and death are at stake, but at this moment, facing Afu, like a subordinate, he asked for advice: "I don't know what advice the envoy has on the arrangement of the government?"

Afu said indifferently: "I will not interfere with how the chief protector behaves."

These words were heard by Qi Dadu's ears, and they were definitely not laissez-faire.Today, His Majesty often sends embroidered envoys from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to monitor all parties, and his every move falls into the eyes of the other party. If he makes a slight mistake, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Then... just follow the agreement just now, let's prepare separately." Qi Dahu arranged.

The three of Su Wangting said one after another that they were stepping down, and then the Chief Protector of Qi said to Afu: "I will immediately order someone to arrange a residence for the envoy."

"No, I'll go with Cheng Sanwu and the others." Afu smiled slightly: "If I find that monster's lair, I'll go there too."

Afu turned around and left the main hall, and Qi Dadu gave him a deep bow, and waited until the other party was gone, Qi Zhiyi dared to approach him and said, "Father, is she really an internal servant?"

"I've checked the fish talisman, and it's not fake." Qi Dahu said solemnly, "And I found that she is not an ordinary person, and her race is different."

Qi Zhiyi said: "She is a barbarian, you can tell it at a glance."

"No, I'm not talking about the difference between Hu and Han." Qi Dahu frowned slightly: "I doubt that she is a non-human race. It is said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a group of capable people and strangers, and some of them are old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years. That's how it feels to me!"

"What is His Majesty sending her here for?" Qi Zhiyi asked quickly.

"I can't say for sure." Qi Dahu thought for a moment: "However, it's good if the Ministry of Internal Affairs is here. I claim to be fair and impartial, so I can also be heard by Datian."

"No favoritism?" Qi Zhiyi also came to his senses: "Then the British Duke..."

Chief Protector Qi raised his hand to stop him: "Don't talk about British Duke in the future."

"The child obeys."

"You seem to value that Cheng Sanwu very much?" Qi Dahu asked, "As soon as I returned to the city, I fought against him, and Wen Changshi complained to me in private."

Qi Zhiyi said with a smile: "My child is thinking, if there are such brave and brave men to help, the Duhufu will be able to do more."

"The vanguard battalion that attacks the monster's lair, you take the lead." Qi Dahu immediately ordered: "You come to select the elite in the army. If Cheng Sanwu wants anything, you just agree."

"Father wants to use the opportunity to test the embroidered clothes envoy?" Qi Zhiyi asked.

"Not at all." Qi Dahu did not say any more. He recalled the first time he saw Cheng Sanwu, he felt that this person was unpredictable. The key to defeating the enemy and calming the chaos lies in this person.

……

The three people who left the main hall first fell silent, Cheng Sanwu scratched his head a little irritably, Su Wangting's face was slightly gloomy, but it was Mr. Changqing who spoke first:
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the big shots of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been with you for so long, and they really don't show any flaws."

Hearing the other party's undisguised sarcasm, Cheng Sanwu scolded: "You blind Taoist, can't you say a few words less?"

"Although I helped Mr. Wu before, I was not a servant of Mr. Ying." Mr. Changqing said calmly: "But behind your Baochang Society is Mr. Lu. These days, that woman is afraid that she is collecting evidence. How to send you to the sky prison so that you can get involved with Lu Xiang."

Cheng Sanwu was thinking of finding a piece of dirty cloth and stuffing it into Mr. Changqing's mouth, when Afu's slightly teasing voice came from behind:
"You know, a magician who deceives people with false words can be regarded as an accomplice. After all, this kind of people only need some small tricks, such as prophecy graphics, demon books and lies, to deceive many ignorant people. Almost every few years, there are such people. This kind of people is happy to rebel and cause chaos."

Mr. Changqing's face froze, the self-confidence just now was completely gone, and he didn't dare to refute Afu.

"Why don't you talk?" Afu glanced at the three big men, and couldn't help laughing: "You shouldn't be scared, right? These ones, in the past, were full of murderers without blinking an eye, and talked non-stop. The character has now become a boring gourd."

"You are amazing! Who can compare to you?" Cheng Sanwu gritted his teeth and said.

"Angry?" Afu's eyes were bright. Seeing Cheng Sanwu turned her face away, she folded her arms and said, "Look, what can I do if you are on guard like this now? Let's clarify the matter now, to everyone all good."

Su Wangting crossed his hands and said: "I didn't know the identity of the envoy before, so I offended you. Please forgive me."

Afu flicked her brows lightly: "I just don't like this, so I don't want to say more. But you should have already guessed Su Zhang, right?"

Cheng Sanwu looked up, Su Wangting looked at him, and then replied: "It's just a bit of conjecture, but I haven't dared to ask for proof."

"Then you know now." Afu's tone was very relaxed. Just by her words and deeds, she really couldn't tell that she was the embroidered emissary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who made all the officials tremble and bowed their heads.

Su Wangting didn't dare to look directly at him, and began to quickly recall his past words and deeds in his heart, thinking about how to treat the embroidered clothes envoy.

On the contrary, Cheng Sanwu quickly walked out of the panic. He ground his teeth in displeasure, and suddenly turned his head and asked, "You were looking for Peng Ning in Hongsha Town before?"

"Otherwise? Is it possible that I'm hungry, so I made a special trip to suck blood?" Afu asked with a smile.

Cheng Sanwu walked back and forth on the spot, thought hard, and asked a little sullenly: "Then the next morning, people from the Maocai Club surrounded us, and you were watching?"

"Yes." Afu replied: "Actually, I have already noticed that people from the Maocai Club have come to Hongsha Town, otherwise I would have played with you more."

Cheng Sanwu remembered that Afu suddenly left in the middle of the fight with him, and now all this is justified.

"Peng Ning is also a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so you just watched him get killed like this?" Cheng Sanwu's face quickly turned cold.

Sensing Cheng Sanwu's displeasure, Afu restrained her smile: "That's right, I still remember that you promised Peng Ning that you would send the Buddha bone relic to Chang'an Ministry of Internal Affairs."

These words immediately aroused Cheng Sanwu's anger: "With your skill, it's easy to save Peng Ning, why don't you take action?"

"He belongs to Eunuch Wei." Afu said bluntly.

"What? Who?" Cheng Sanwu was completely puzzled.

Su Wangting reminded from the side: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is currently presided over by Eunuch Feng, and Eunuch Wei is the deputy."

"And then?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

Su Wangting was aware of Cheng Sanwu's temperament, and his words flickered: "This...maybe it's a dispute in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it's not easy for us outsiders to get involved."

"I—" Cheng Sanwu was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. He couldn't figure it out at all: "Just because the people in charge above are fighting for power and profit, the people below watch their colleagues die?"

Su Wangting didn't want to be in trouble, so he didn't answer, Afu asked, "You've only been with Peng Ning for a few days, so it seems that you don't need to think about him?"

"I can't get used to it! I just can't get used to it!" Cheng Sanwu felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't explain clearly, so he could only leave angrily.

At this moment, Qi Zhiyi also came out of the door, and shouted at Cheng Sanwu's back: "Cheng Sanwu, why are you going?"

"I'm going to drink!" Cheng Sanwu replied without looking back.

"I'll go too!" Qi Zhiyi excitedly followed without knowing it.

Su Wangting sighed helplessly, and he glanced at Afu: "After getting along these days, the envoy knows more or less about Lao Cheng's temper, so why bother him?"

"I haven't told the truth yet." Afu laughed.

"The truth?" Su Wangting was puzzled.

"Don't talk about Peng Ning, what does the life and death of the world have to do with me?" After leaving a cold sentence, Afu drifted away.
