I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 186 King An’s plot

"Speed ​​up, Xiaojiu is already setting fire to it, it doesn't matter if the noise is louder. I'm determined to eat this secret library today, even if the emperor comes, I won't be able to keep it!"

Cao An angrily ordered everyone to attack.

Without the [Imperial Law], all the iron gates and formations are just paper in front of them.

The masters of the imperial court have been forced to retreat. Those who rush in here must be enemies. Naturally, the Tsing Yi Department will not hold back.

After crossing Class C and Class B, the group of people rushed towards the Class A secret warehouse with ease. The two second-level experts bombed with all their strength and violently broke the blockade. The whole room was shining brightly. It was really wonderful.

"Hurry up and get your things. After the emperor has taken care of the defense of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Harem, he will send troops to reinforce it immediately. We don't have much time."

Cao An didn't ask for any skills. After all, he had clues from the "Ten Generations of Canghui Sutra". It would be the fastest to find that thing and gain direct understanding.

The target at the moment is very simple, which is the third-grade sword named [Ruo Qing] that I had my eye on last time.

Holding it in your hand, you can feel the sharp sword intent, the energy is conveyed, and the sound of the sword is like the echo of thousands of mountains. When you wave it gently, it seems that there is an afterimage passing by, which can disturb the enemy's mind. It is heavy and heavy. It is a rare treasure sword. .

Looking around, if Cao An still had to choose, there was nothing urgently needed.

Weapons are the foundation of a warrior. Having a good sword is also a blessing for Cao An. From now on, the only issue left is protection.

Because Daxing was not good at forging, and most of the items captured on the battlefield were armors, Cao An did not want to run around wearing a heavy shell.

What's more, Master Chiguang of Nanchu also agreed to help him make lightweight protective clothing. He can just wait for the set to arrive, so there is no need to worry.

Turning his head, Cao An saw the confused Ying Huorong.

This person's martial arts skills were taught by Red Fox, and he relied on his sharp claws to fight with his energy, so he had no weapons skills.

After looking around, it seemed like there really wasn't much to choose from.

Liang Qifeng next to him saw this and frowned again: "Tinder, is it that difficult for you to pick something at random?"

"But I really don't know which one to choose." Ying Huorong was very melancholy.

How about picking out a pair of beautiful boots? But the size doesn’t fit! There are no women's models, and they look ugly.

Liang Qifeng hated the fact that iron cannot become steel: "If you don't know how to choose, would you like me to help you?"

"Well, please help me pick one."

"Watch!" Liang Qifeng said, walking to the side of Monk Sanyang, and to the shock of Amitabha, he tore off a cassock.

"Now, take it."

"Kasaya?" Ying Huorong took the thing and felt even more confused.

"That's right, just pick one thing." Liang Qifeng nodded again in confirmation.

Then he squatted down very seriously, spread his cassock on the ground, picked up a lot of treasures on the counter, and threw them all up.

"Tie this side first, then this side. If it's hard to carry, use a stick to put it on. Look, it's just one piece."

Everyone:...

When you say you pick one thing, is it the one thing you carry on your shoulders? Did you agree to leave some for the court?

Liang Qifeng looked at the crowd, and his expression became serious again: "Hurry up, pack it if you can, and don't force it if you can't. Think of it as leaving some for the court to survive. Picking one thing will already affect your actions, so you can't do more. Got it!"

Yes!

There couldn't be any more. This person picked one thing on his shoulders and almost moved everything else except the heavy armor.

From now on, I will be angry with anyone who says that our Tisi is an upright person in front of him.

"Withdraw, reinforcements from the imperial court are coming." Zhu Xian nervously reported the situation.

Cao An nodded: "It's time to go, our house is about to burn down. Xiaojiu, how did you light the stone?"

"Oh, it's just a little trick." Xiao Jiu threw away the torch with a guilty conscience and turned his head to the side, but Cao An still keenly saw the blue flames burning on the torch.

Let this child burn houses around, but she actually followed him into the secret warehouse and burned them all the way.

I have set fire to cloth, wood, and rocks, even if I use Ksitigarbha's will-o'-the-wisps, I feel tired just watching you talk. Are you so active in setting fire to your home?

"Run, or we'll all burn to death."

One person at a time, the Tsing Yi Department quickly rushed out of the secret warehouse and headed northwest.

At this moment, enemies were attacking everywhere in the imperial city, and the imperial army was unable to defend itself in time. They could only stand at a few passes and wait for reinforcements from Emperor Wan Jing.

Liang Qifeng, who knew the defense well, naturally arranged the retreat route immediately. Cao An had reason to suspect that this man had secretly studied the plan to loot the secret treasury.

No matter what, Cao An and others successfully escaped from the battlefield.

After leaving the imperial city, they started to take a detour through the alleys and threw the treasures they had just robbed into the secret room.

Looking at the many gold and silver treasures, today is really a fruitful day! When it's done, come back and handle it carefully.

"The next step is to deal with King An first."

Cao An wiped the sweat from his head. Although he was busy today, the harvest was very rich! Since you have received your reward in advance, let’s work harder for Wan Jingdi.

"But we're just going there now, is it too late?" Ying Changfeng asked worriedly from the side, but his body was very honest. He sat down next to the coffee table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it leisurely. .

It can be seen that this man's loyalty to Emperor Wan Jing is limited.

Maybe he was still very loyal when he was fighting on the battlefield, but later in the Changtianmen battle, when Ying Huorong was seriously injured and dying, his thoughts gradually changed.

The reason why the Tsing Yi Department is what it is now is because of the pressure from Emperor Wan Jing.

If that's the case, what's the point of being loyal? The secret dark room they were in now was set up just in case, and it was one of the most secret cores of the Tsing Yi Department. He poured another cup of tea and handed it to Cao An.

At this moment, Ying Changfeng was the eldest brother of his brothers, followed by a father, and thirdly the official of the imperial court.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. What should we do next? If necessary, I can also mobilize troops."

Mobilize troops and horses!

These four words are extraordinary!

Mobilizing manpower and mobilizing soldiers and horses are two different concepts. The latter proves that Ying Changfeng's so-called removal of armor is not completely done. He still secretly controls a powerful army that is ready for war at any time.

In the past, when Cao An just joined, it was impossible to tell him all the secrets.

Bringing him to this stronghold at this moment shows his 100% trust in Cao An, including the fact that when he was disarmed, his brothers from the old army settled on the border of Nanchu, and they no longer concealed it.

In today's imperial power struggle, if there is a major crisis, it is not unreasonable to use hidden power.

"It's not that big of a battle." Cao An took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Emperor Wan Jing is very afraid of death. I suspect there is a group of forces behind him. It will be difficult to overthrow him. Mo Renxiang didn't even come forward directly. , I’m afraid I want Prince An to be a pawn.”

He was not interested in the dispute between father and son.

Although Emperor Wan Jing had a very bad reputation in the office, King An also united with Mo Renxiang, and both of them were not considered good people within a radius of eight liang.

In Cao An's view, the detective mission he carries is much more meaningful than who becomes the emperor.

Seeing Cao An sitting still, everyone felt relieved. They were afraid that King An would open the Huangquan fork again, lead Nanchu to invade, lead the Daomen to attack, etc., which would be really troublesome.

"King An wants to be the emperor himself and will not massacre Shangjiang City. Most of the Nanchu masters we see are employed, and the number is very small."

"Then what is his goal?"

"Altar of Sacrifice to Heaven, I just confirmed the news, so I entered from the palace and prepared to go to the north gate."

Hearing this, Zhu Xian was shocked.

He has always been responsible for receiving information. This time, Cao An actually solved the problem of investigation by himself?

"When did you arrange for the spies? From the Privy Council?"

"Of course not, it's one of our own, the storyteller in the teahouse, remember."

Zhu Xian nodded. Of course he remembered it, but he felt that Cao An didn't remember it very well. He couldn't even call him by his name, so he just called the storyteller Xiaoer.

But none of this matters.

"Where did you arrange for the waiter to go find out? We have been together all this time. When did you get the news back?"

"It was reported the moment the war started. It was just for him to stay in position and put out a flare or something, so it was inconspicuous."

At this moment, the whole city was in chaos, including the signal bombs prepared by King An for help, which were being released indiscriminately, disturbing people's hearing and hearing.

Fortunately, Cao An had already made arrangements. When he went for the winter hunting today, he arranged for the waiter to stay at the altar outside the north of the city. Once the enemy was found, he would immediately release the signal bomb.

"Did you always know that his goal was the altar?"

"It's also a guess, so I asked someone to check it out. After all, he held it in for a long time and didn't make a move!"

When the enemy takes action, they will definitely choose a special time period, especially those who are in the dark, and must meet the conditions before they can launch an attack.

The demon clan has been planning for three years, hoping to use Yujiu to extract blood and become an immortal beast. They are waiting for the time when the body will be put into the tomb.

King An had been planning for ten years, during which the human bottle and evil skills were all preparations.

The last human bottle with royal blood was made, and the black servants also launched a desperate rebellion. Logically speaking, they should be ready.

But they have been silent, probably waiting for an opportunity.

Then, the altar that the Ministry of Industry has been building meets the requirements.

Today's winter hunting will inevitably leave the internal defense empty. Cao An simply asked the waiter to close the business and stay in advance to take precautions.

There is no doubt that Cao An guessed correctly. He saw the signal sent by Xiao Er, and indeed there was an enemy in that place.

"The altar was built for the ancestor worship ceremony next year, and its value itself is not great. Now that there is a powerful attack, there must be a problem."

Cao An analyzed the intelligence and was able to basically locate King An.

Who in the right mind would attack an altar? Without the cover of a raging war in the city, he would be exposed as soon as he started.

"But since it's an altar, what's the use of capturing it? To pay homage to our ancestors?"

"Then I don't know. I have to go and see for myself. Now should be the right time."

During the winter hunting, Qiao Yundong took advantage of the prince and others to start the sacrifice, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

This is a clever plan, I stole it.

He gave the waiter a special signal bomb. If a special memorial event occurs, he will fire this special signal bomb.

But all the way down, there were just intermittent ordinary signals. It seemed that there was no sudden change in the situation there, so Cao An was not in a hurry. He slowly ransacked the secret warehouse once, and then passed slowly. The time was just right.

Thinking about it, Cao An suddenly put down his tea cup and looked at Ying Changfeng.

"Sir, I want to ask you about a person. I want to know all the information about this person."

"Oh? Who makes you so nervous? You want to ask me for information?"

"I'm not just looking for you, everyone can tell me what they know. I seem to have guessed the identity of the envoy from Inkman Alley."
