The Riddler Get Out of Terra

"This guy is really digging holes without missing a word!"

Zuo Le savored Hao Zhao's words carefully, "I am the director of the Guards, specializing in investigating the order of Longmen. Don't I know if there is chaos in Longmen?" and felt his teeth sore:

If this word gets out, the military-political relations within the Yan Kingdom will probably explode!

Today you, General Zuo, can doubt the yamen commander because of the spies' words, but tomorrow you can forcefully inspect the civil servants to see whether they are fulfilling their duties for your own selfish reasons?

This is the job of the Imperial Household Department... You, Zuo, have pioneered private inspections by the army... What do you want to do?

Thinking of what would happen if his father admitted it, even Zuo Le was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat.

This is really saying that Zuo is going to rebel, and every sound is suggesting that Longmen is just the beginning, but he still uses the banner of Wei Yanwu and the Yanhuang brothers as a cover. General Zuo has to admit that "Longmen and other Yan cities" There is no difference" argument.

——But don’t you, Hao Zhao, still understand whether there is actually a difference? !

If you really talk about it, the difference is huge!

However, Hao Zhao pretended to be confused and used the fig leaf as an excuse. Why, General Zuo, you dare to lift this fig leaf?

What can someone do?This was a formal communication occasion, and Hei Li was recording it. How could he dare to reveal it?

Could he be saying that "Longmen is different from other cities in Great Yan, and Prince Wei harbors evil intentions"?

Then he will die directly without a burial place!

"As soon as Hao Zhao finished speaking, General Zuo's expression changed. He looked at Hao Zhao carefully for a few times, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face. He stopped talking about the issue of stationing in Longmen, and instead began to ask about Hao Zhao's time of maintaining law and order in Longmen. They have encountered some problems, and their words even reveal a bit of solicitation."

Taihe continued.

"Well, my father suffered such a big loss, and yet he still wants to recruit him, Hao Zhao?"

Hearing what Taihe said, Zuo Le always felt strange. He remembered that his father was not such a good-tempered person, right?

Jingzhe also felt strange - although she couldn't understand many things, she still understood the political atmosphere of Yan country very well.

Can General Zuo tolerate such an extremely offensive and destructive statement that doesn’t even give him any face?

She didn't quite believe it.

Sure enough, Taihe shook his head:

"General Zuo seemed to be talking to the man, but he signaled with his eyes to those of us who were protecting him, suggesting that we secretly retreat one person and quickly lead a team of elite soldiers to Longmen. After obtaining the evidence, we directly set off with the army and crossed Hao Zhao into Longmen. , pull out the fire under the cauldron.”

Fuck, he deserves to be my father/he deserves to be the general who came out of Yanguo’s officialdom!

"However, Hao Zhao was not fooled at all. General Zuo's eyes were very hidden, but Hao Zhao saw through it. He made an extremely bold move at that time..."

Taihe thought of Orange Cat's unexpected actions but instantly controlled the situation, and his words were filled with wonder:

"He happily acknowledged General Zuo's compliment, and took out a notebook recording his tenure as director of the Guards Bureau to show to General Zuo. The general believed that this person must be obsessed with officialdom and would not jeopardize his future, so he never Be vigilant, let him come close to share, and at the same time attract the attention of Hei Li, protect those who leave secretly."

"Unexpectedly, Hao Zhao came closer and grabbed the general's hand. General Zuo struggled a few times but couldn't get away at all. He just applied more force, and sweat broke out on the general's face that had never changed for thousands of years."

"'I have long heard rumors from people in the world that General Zuo is cruel, ruthless, and cunning. Today I saw that it is indeed the case. It's just that the rainbow is shining through the sun and the eagle is striking the sky. I wonder what General Zuo is thinking about when he is so close to me.'"

"With just such a sentence, the atmosphere in the entire Chinese military tent froze. The guard who was about to leave after receiving the general's look did not retreat. The guard who was paying attention to Hei Li turned around. Even I was stunned, watching him slowly turn his left The general's two hands were locked in one hand, and the force was applied bit by bit, which made the general's eyes split in pain."

Jingzhe and Zuo Le looked at each other and saw the incredible look in each other's eyes:

Surrounded by an entire Yan Kingdom army, and guarded by guards who are all masters, one person controls the general who won the first prize in the competition in the capital that year...

"Everyone went crazy at that time. All the people who were guarding the general, including me, took action at the same time. General Zuo's whole face was red from holding it in, but Hei Li couldn't take action because he was afraid that things would get worse. Only Hao Zhao dealt with us with one hand. .”

However, Taihe seemed to feel that Jingzhe and Zuo Le's surprises were not enough and continued to describe the extreme force displayed by Hao Zhao at that time:

"The man didn't move, but starting from the first guard who was three feet in front of him, to the end when I blasted out two palms with all my strength, everyone was stopped by the wall of air that appeared in front of him, and he didn't see any movement. , just as soon as the body shook, the air wall exploded with great force. All of us were shaken by the sudden countershock until our bones were weak and our minds were in a daze. When we fell to the ground again, no one could stand up. Passed out."

Thinking of the miraculous martial arts displayed by the orange cat that day, Taihe felt his entire body tremble. The three-foot wall of energy that was astonishing and protected the entire body made his hands tremble even today when he thought about it.

"That's not Origin Stone skill..."

The tall man in a bamboo hat whispered softly like he was dreaming:

"It is simply to cover the whole body with a vast sea of ​​inner energy to defend yourself. It has an endless supply, is invulnerable to swords and guns, and is invulnerable to water and fire. The offensive of us so-called first-rate warriors is like a joke to him, it is just luck. Zhongxu, using the strength to fight, we flew out like ants that were knocked away, and were played in the palm of a Yan Kingdom warrior like us."

"After that, when we woke up, General Zuo had already withdrawn his troops. Hao Zhao just grabbed his hands and stayed with him until Duke Wei came to visit, so General Zuo had to retreat."

After Taihe finished speaking, Zuo Le and Jingzhe fell into silence:

They all practice inner energy, and they all know how terrifying it is to release inner energy to the outside. However, just when everyone thought it was impossible, someone was able to cover the inner energy within a three-foot radius, and the other warriors were comparable to heavy crossbows. The all-out bombardment joke-general defense.

This can no longer be called a warrior, but should be described as a martial arts myth.

"This is really... amazing."

Zuo Le hissed and inhaled as he commented. He was shocked and confused by Hao Zhao's superb internal skills: "I wonder if I can ask him for advice when I go to Longmen this time..."

"...You want to go to Longmen?"

Jingzhe discovered the key point in his words.

Zuo Le smiled bitterly, looked at each other with Taihe, and then looked at Jingzhe and said:

"Sorry, Jingzhe, because you are at Longmen..."

He paused and continued:

"So this Si Suitai investigation is conducted by two of us. After you finish investigating the counterfeit banknote case, you can go to the capital to report on your work."

Chapter 161 Heading to Gouwu (End)

"But what movement did Si Suitai notice?"

Zuo Le's hesitation actually contained a lot of information, and Jingzhe discovered his hint just by thinking about it.

"Absolutely..." Zuo Le hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and told Jingzhe: "Si Suitai discovered that a giant beast was missing before the Longmen Incident started. The location happened to be Longmen. At that time, the princes planned to send another one. A team of spies went to Longmen to investigate."

"It's just that before the discussion was clear, many major events happened in Longmen. Wei Gong has to deal with the accountability of the Victoria people. Regarding Yan Guo's request, Gu Zuo said otherwise. Jingzhe, you have stayed in Longmen for so long. Is there anything wrong with you? Tell me the news?"

"..."

Jingzhe Shen

He was silent for a while, trying his best to search for any clues about the incarnation of Sui Xiang in his mind, but in the whole Longmen incident, only the smiling face of the intelligence dealer could be found, and no trace related to Sui Xiang could be found.

"If you want to review what exactly happened that day in Longmen, I can give you some top secrets, but about the age..."

She hesitated and said: "I can get very little information, and I can't find any clues related to it."

"The incarnation of the Nian who went to Longmen was the Nian beast. She was not as peaceful as the one we Gou Wu and his party were going to visit. She should have caused a lot of trouble when she went to Longmen, but from the time she went to Longmen until she was silent... …”

Zuo Le analyzed, and even Jingzhe began to cross his chest with his hands and consider the twists and turns:

"That can only mean that someone in Longmen attacked her very quickly and accurately. Nian Beast lost its ability to resist before it could spread the news."

She thought about the logic and brought in her own variables in Longmen step by step:

"I stayed in Longmen for a long time, but I didn't get any news. Wei Gong couldn't even get any news about Hao Zhao. This proves that the disappearance of Nian Beast has almost no connection with Wei Gong..."

"Then who has to kill the Nian beast and hide it from Wei Gong who is the ruler of Longmen and has many eyes and ears?"

Following Jingzhe's inference, Zuo Le and her said in unison.

Thinking of Yuri, who was closely involved in the funds of Yanguo's Ministry of Household Affairs in the Longmen Incident, but died in front of him without knowing it. Faced with the death of this wealthy film businessman, it can be said that the Longmen officials were also unaware of it. Jingzhe almost He said without thinking:

"It can't be those people from Victoria who don't have this ability, and it can't be people from the Yan country. Most people in the Yan country who understand the incarnation of Sui Xiang understand it, and those who don't understand have no idea - so..."

Zuo Le made a fist with his left hand and tapped his right hand, and said the final conclusion in unison with her:

"It can only be the person who caused the big event in Longmen who took action!"*2

"Then I understand better!"

Zuo Le and Jingzhe deduced to the end that they already understood the roles played by various levels of Longmen in the case of the disappearance of the Sui Beast incarnation:

It seems that Wei Gong, who is the most suspicious, is the one who is completely unaware of the arrival of the Nian Beast. The Victorians, who are the victims of the Longmen Incident, are involved, but this involvement is full, if not irrelevant. Confused.

Only the real mastermind occupies the largest proportion, shrouding Nian Beast and Longmen in the conspiracy.

?

and many more?

I remember Jingzhe told us that the mastermind behind the scenes was not caught and brought to justice at all, and he left Longmen directly?

Suddenly thinking of the story Jingzhe had told them earlier, the smile on Zuo Le's face gradually stiffened as the clues appeared.

"Um, is there any latest news about the man behind the scenes...?"

The proud young man turned his head to look at Jingzhe tremblingly, and asked the first client with great expectations.

"There is no news." Jingzhe said firmly to dispel Zuo Le's expectations. But seeing the enthusiasm of the young people dissipating visibly, Jingzhe, who could barely be a thousand times as good as Zuo Le, quickly added:

"This is the instruction from the person who asked me to investigate the counterfeit banknote case. That person..."

She paused for a moment, as if she thought it was wrong to use such a title, and then said:

"There is information about the man behind the scenes, but there is no way we can confront him, nor can we arrest him. There is no way we can ask him about the Nian beast."

"Is there really no way?"

Zuo Le asked reluctantly:

"Even if he escapes to other countries, we can use the extradition regulations to bring him back. Last time, you were the only one who fell into his scheme. If there is news about him this time, a team from Tianshi Mansion can capture the giant. The beast's combat team will definitely make him unable to eat and walk around..."

"impossible."

Jingzhe shook her head and was not surprised that Zuo Le said such a thing - when she heard the boss who told her to shut up said that she would not investigate, she was even more excited than Zuo Le. She lost control of her emotions and even lost her hair. All curled up because of the out-of-control Lei Fa.

However, the reply she received made all her unwillingness to be swallowed back into her stomach:

"That person is already the prime minister of Kazdel, who is inferior to one person and more than ten thousand people. With the current international situation, any hostility or communication with him will cause problems for Yanguo's tendency - given the mentality of that person who single-handedly designed the Longmen Incident , he will even deliberately use tricks to make Yan Guo take sides early."

The old man's warning was told to Zuo Le word for word by Jingzhe. The young man's pupils gradually tightened as the words were spoken. The impending situation between the Anti-Demon Alliance and the First Empire of Cazidale made him understand what choice he should make as a matter of course:

"Well, it seems that I really can't get first-hand information. I will take advantage of this trip to Gouwu to find the second contact person - I hope the incarnation of Sui Xiang who is staying in Gouwu can know something. Bar……"

Facing the giant beast, he could be proud as the descendant of the winner, but facing the prime minister of a country, Zuo Le became groveling - the Kazdare Fifth Army captured [-]% of Kazdare in two weeks, taking advantage of all the troubled waters. The news that all the promoters from various countries were arrested and tortured is not unfamiliar to young people in high positions like him.

Sui Xianghui was busy sharpening his sword because Yan Guo gave him face, and he had no intention of fighting against the rebels.

The Kazdel First Empire, which is weak in the Demon Alliance, will not care about the thoughts of a high-ranking official of the Yan Kingdom, not to mention that this high-ranking official wants to target the highly respected prime minister?

Ursus, Lateran, Victoria, Colombia, Casimir, Rembiton and even Letania have all become enemies. Is there still a need for a Yan Kingdom?

——Since the establishment of Kazdaele’s First Empire, only Longmen in the Yan Kingdom has secretly signed many treaties that will be immediately voided once they are known to others. The local...

Ugh.

Zuo Le sighed, knowing where the most troublesome part of this matter was.

Chapter 162 Weird ([-])

"In the land of Gou Wu, there have always been many people who use violence to suppress the ban and claim to be chivalrous, and there are also many people who are generous and tragic, and have chivalrous bones and tender hearts."

Walking on the streets and alleys where the wall bricks of Gouwu City are filled with a little bit of blood, even people who don’t know much about this city can feel a strong sense of history coming to their faces, and think of the words in "The Customs of the Yan Kingdom" Records of this city.

This realization does not come from a certain wall tile or a certain corner - in this land called Terra, natural disasters play an extremely important role. After a natural disaster, all human activities in the area are often wiped out. Together with the results of these activities, there will be no news in the natural disaster.

Therefore, few truly ancient cities can survive natural disasters. Even the capital city of Great Yan has gone through several rotations in the eternal years. It was not until the emergence of mobile city technology that the city had the possibility of being preserved.

Gouwu City is not an extremely important capital city that the people of the Yan Kingdom regard as extremely important. It is just an "ancient city" with many legends about the rivers and lakes and the past. It has experienced many ups and downs and been rebuilt many times. People have divided and reunited here, and composed many works. Either moving or regrettable legend.

Therefore, what can make people feel the rich history is not the bricks and tiles of Gouwu City, but every Gouwu person walking and walking in this city.

Their ideas carry the memories of their ancestors, their conversations carry ancient legends, and their craftsmanship incorporates every detail of the city’s past.

So when Jingzhe walked on the streets of Gouwucheng, which had undergone many transformations and could still see the context of the past, Qilin noticed many interesting details:

Even the children in this Gouwu city have a good foundation in martial arts. The materials on the walls are also different from those in other cities. Strange grooves of various sizes are patterned on the walls with unexplained patterns. In the hidden part of the trench, the remnants of footprints are faintly visible.

Since the reform of the Tianshi Mansion, the "Jianghu" that has almost disappeared from the Yan Kingdom seems to still be alive in this city, and even the people here have the common look on the faces of those idle people in the Jianghu who are just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously. .

Jingzhe had to admit that Sui Xiang, who set up his base in Gouwu, was indeed a very nostalgic guy with good taste.

She looked at the surrounding buildings and people again, her eyes lingering for a moment on the dome of the Great Library, which was the landmark of Gouwu City, and was significantly higher than other buildings, and then slowly turned to the taverns and teahouses scattered throughout Gouwu:

Since this is the Jianghu scenery of the Yan Kingdom, then the best place to inquire about the customs is probably the same as the old legend, right?

As expected, a surprising harvest occurred after Jingzhe arrived at a teahouse she randomly selected.

"But this Thief Saint is really a powerful person. In just one night, he took away the collections of those rich and unkind wealthy people in Gouwu City, and yet he was able to give every family a gold leaf to rob the rich and help the poor. He is truly the best in the world!"

"It's just that why this Thief Saint attacked everyone in Gouwucheng... many people are confused."

The storyteller slammed the gavel down with a bang and spoke with ease. The tea drinkers around him were all intrigued by the secrets in his mouth, and for a while they kept shouting:

"Then you know?"
