Qiu Ye has left the wing room without a sound, just as she came in quietly.Welcome to reading Zhang Ning had just fallen asleep by himself, when he was suddenly awakened by human voices. He lay on the bed and listened carefully, and heard someone talking loudly in the yard outside, but he couldn't quite understand what they were saying.He looked at the skylight above his head, it was pitch black, and the sky should not be bright yet.Moreover, this courtyard is the center of the main altar of the evil cult. How could anyone be making noise here in the cold early morning hours?Zhang Ning was curious, so he got up, put on his clothes and opened the door to check.

Sure enough, there were a few women standing outside the main room where Yao Ji lived, and no one else said anything, only a woman in her forties said loudly to the door again: "My subordinate Dong Xue has something urgent to report, so I will disturb the leader Qing. Dream please forgive me."

Zhang Ning knew an apostle named Qiuye, and here was another person who called himself Dongxue. He could easily think of it. The so-called four apostles might be named after spring, summer, autumn and winter; then this Dongxue should also belong to the high-level One of the four apologetics.Dongxue's name is quite elegant, but unexpectedly, she is a dark-skinned, middle-aged lady with high cheekbones and a bit protruding front teeth, but she doesn't look very good.

Because she said she was in a hurry, Zhang Ning was curious, so he stepped back and fastened his belt without combing his hair, and then went out.When the women outside the door saw him coming out, they all bowed slightly in a salute gesture, which showed that Zhang Ning's status as a distinguished guest was already known to the upper echelon of the Demonic Cult.

Zhang Ning turned his head and glanced at the closed door of the main room, but there was no movement inside.He then said: "It's so late, the leader may have undressed and rested long ago, don't be impatient, I have to wait a while... what's important? Can you tell me first?"

Dong Xue looked around, thought for a while, and said, "I just got a report that a suspicious person was found at the entrance of the back mountain of the main altar and injured both of us. At that time, we strengthened our security around the back mountain, and there were eight people everywhere. But the overgrown grass and trees made it difficult to move, and it was dark, so the eight people smelled the warning, but it didn't work, and the man shot and injured two of them one by one, and ran away."

After hearing this, Zhang Ning was shocked and said, "What is someone doing squatting in the wilderness at this late hour?"

Dong Xue said seriously: "That's why our people issued a warning and wanted to catch him for interrogation, but failed."

"Did you see the man's height and appearance clearly?" Zhang Ning asked anxiously.

Dongxue replied: "I was not in the back mountain when the accident happened. According to the injured person, I saw the person's appearance clearly. He estimated that he was 40 to [-] years old. He was very tall, with a dry and thin face, and thick facial bones..."

While she was describing, Zhan Zhuli's wry face appeared in front of Zhang Ning's eyes, and what was even more outrageous was that the imaginary person seemed to have said something: as long as there is wine.

Who is this guy, Zhan Zhuli?Who else has nothing to do but wander around the barren hills in the middle of the night?Zhang Ning was immediately anxious, and asked again: "Is the place where I and my followers came in the 'back mountain entrance' of the evil cult?"

Dong Xue said: "Yes."

Did that guy Zhan Zhuli see the secret way I entered the Earth Temple? !How did he find another entrance besides the "Ghost Temple"?Zhang Ning suddenly remembered what the believers who led the way had said during the chat: The position of the main entrance is too open and easy to be exposed. Let's take another route. This is where the supplies are transported into the mountain every month. It should be more secretive.

That guy must have secretly observed the activities of the cultists, and slowly groped to the entrance of the back mountain!This scruffy guy who drinks too much wine is really a talent, Zhang Ning really doesn't know whether to praise him or scold him.Sure enough, a person who is capable and able to do things is not necessarily good, what if he is his opponent?

At first Zhang Ning said, "Be safe and don't be impatient", but now he is also in a hurry, calling the leader outside the door.But there was still no movement, as if there was no one at all, so he asked the people around him: "Will the leader be in the hot spring behind the yard?"

A woman said: "The leader is resting in his room, he won't take a bath at such a late hour."

Zhang Ning walked up the steps and slapped him fiercely with his palm.Seeing this, Dong Xue and others were surprised and changed color, and just about to persuade him, the wooden door had already been slammed by him.Dong Xue hurriedly said: "Your honored guest is impolite, aren't you afraid that the leader will blame you?"

Zhang Ning ignored her and continued to shoot.After a while, Yao Ji's cold voice finally came from inside: "Who is it? Are you going to go to the house to expose the tiles!"

Zhang Ning said: "It's me, it's an urgent matter, open the door quickly, I have something to say."

Yao Ji's tone changed accordingly, and she said inside: "I've already taken off my clothes and went to bed, and it's inconvenient for us to see each other right away because of my disheveled clothes, so wait."

Why didn't she hear the loud shout just now?It's a little strange.This thought flashed through Zhang Ning's mind, and he couldn't care less about such trivial matters now, so he turned around and said, "Go to someone, wake up my two attendants, and tell them to pack up and wait." The woman got up There was indeed a bit of ink, Zhang Ning hurriedly made preparations in advance.

"I have to leave the Demon Repelling Cult immediately and go back." Zhang Ning said while thinking outside the door, "Actually, I don't have anything to say before I leave, just say goodbye."

Yao Ji's voice inside became a little hurried: "What happened?"

Zhang Ning said: "Last night, I may have been watched by someone when I went to the Demon Repelling Sect. I have to go back and find a way to deal with it."

At this time, there was a slight sound inside the door, Yao Ji's voice said: "You come in alone, close the door."

Just now I heard Yao Ji say that it is inconvenient to take off clothes to sleep for the time being, and Zhang Ning was let in after a while. He was still a man, and the people in the yard were slightly puzzled; plus, the leader allowed a so-called distinguished guest to live in the same yard. At this time, many people had vaguely guessed Zhang Ning's identity.If it wasn't someone who was very close to the leader, how could he be treated like this? Coupled with Zhang Ning's young age, this faint relationship became more and more obvious in the small circle.

Zhang Ning walked into the elegantly furnished room, and saw bead curtains hanging in front of the Nuan Pavilion, with red candles burning inside, fine beads hanging down in front of his eyes, and a Miaoman figure could be vaguely seen moving inside, as if he was still tied belt.

Zhang Ning thought of the bad breakup last night, and suddenly felt that the Yao Ji he was thinking about seemed to be drifting away, so he didn't make any mistakes and just stayed outside the bead curtain.Inside Yao Ji said: "Is it that Zhan Zhuli that Fang Ling brought a letter from last time?"

"It is very likely that it is him." Zhang Ning said, "This person has been out of our sight for nearly a month, and his whereabouts have been unknown. I sent someone along the post road to collect the records of the post horse. It is estimated that he may have turned back. The purpose is to serve Wu Yong. Secretly inspect my activities. Wu Yong was Hu Ying'an's eyeliner after I became the inspector of Huguang. This matter should have been approved by Emperor Xuande. If Zhan Zhuli did see me enter the secret path last night, there is no need The physical evidence, as long as his certification is passed to the ears of Emperor Xuande, the consequences will be disastrous, and I will definitely not dare to return to the officialdom."

Zhang Ning has long realized that there are hidden dangers in this trip. At that time, the itinerary that he wanted to send Fang Ling here in person was cancelled; but he could not refuse to come to recognize Emperor Jianwen. Will Zhan Zhuli witness such a small probability event happen?So there is nothing to regret after the matter has come to this point. There are risks in many things, and this time it is just bad luck.All I can do now is try to make up for it, how to make up for it?Zhang Ning suddenly thought of a word: kill to silence.

If they fail, they will not be able to mix in the officialdom, but can only join the "rebellious party"... In this way, the evil cult will become a threat that Emperor Xuande wants to eradicate, and the situation will be even worse; his own situation will not be much better.

Even Yao Ji has to bow down to please Jianwen, Zhang Ning can imagine the situation he might face.
