The Tongyang River flows around Zhongtian Mansion and is a natural moat for this century-old city.
Most of the city walls and the upper floors of the city overlook the vast river. At dusk, the setting sun shines on the river, with a brilliant golden light, as if endless gold is flowing, and it is the most wonderful scene. "Tongyang Evening Photo" is also one of the eight famous scenic spots in Zhongtian Mansion.
There is a tall building in the headquarters of the Prosecution and Prefecture Division called "Zhao Jian Building", which allows you to view the Tongyang River in the west as far as the eye can see.
Gao Yuanhou has been standing alone on the top floor for a long time.
There was no one around her. Tang Zhao, who was closest to her, was standing at the entrance of the attic stairs, separated from her by a fence. Her white hair could only be faintly seen through the cracks in the railing.
She is looking at the river.
What else did she see?
Because she is Gao Yuanhou, she has a pair of eyes that can see through autumn water, so it is possible to see anything.
Tang Zhao knew that her eyes had passed through the mighty river and looked under the land of Yunzhou, looking for the crucial Golden Crow Sword. Although this news was brought by Tang Zhao, if Marquis Gao Yuan scanned the thousands of miles of land and didn't see any Golden Crow Sword at all, Tang Zhao would be very happy even if his efforts were in vain.
Unfortunately luck did not come.
Suddenly, I heard Marquis Gao Yuan say: "Tang Zhao, come in."
Tang Zhao turned around the grille and saw Gao Yuanhou standing by the fence, his eyes slightly squinted, and his eye sockets seemed a little red, as if he had been reading a book in the dim light for a long time, and his eyes were so dry that they shed tears.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Tang Zhao felt that this old woman, who still had an elegant posture, was a little older.
Before Tang Zhao could salute, Marquis Gao Yuan said: "Ah Zhao, you have to study the teleportation talisman formation carefully. I will ask your master to come over and study it with you. If you need help from anyone else, I will write a letter, or you can contact me yourself. What do you want? I'm here to help you with the paperwork, but it's good to have a little more assurance."
Tang Zhao's heart sank, knowing that Marquis Gao Yuan had confirmed the whereabouts of the Golden Crow Sword, he agreed and said: "This shouldn't be a problem with the talisman. I don't think Master can help. If I ask outsiders, I'm afraid of leaking the secret. Where am I going? Long Yuan borrowed some classics to study."
Marquis Gao Yuan nodded and said: "It is true that you cannot mention it to outsiders. It is also not advisable to notify the front line to prevent leaks of secrets and attract irrelevant people. Now the pressure is only on you. The research here needs manpower, and..."
She continued: "If the teleportation array is ineffective, you may really need to go there in person. Then in addition to yourself, you will also need helpers around you. I will try my best to prepare some candidates for you, and you can take them away after you see them suitable. You don't have to worry too much. , you can choose anyone, they are all warriors like you who are not afraid of hardships."
Tang Zhao was slightly shocked. He was keenly aware that after this inspection, Gao Yuanhou seemed not to be optimistic that the teleportation array could be activated. She took the initiative to ask Tang Zhao to prepare to go into the water. Could it be that she saw something underground? Said: "Yes. I will make two preparations, study the formation and prepare for diving. As for the helper... If there is a suitable person, I can take him with him."
But he is not optimistic.
Approaching an unknown swordsman is not a matter of courage and awareness. If you have the courage, can you hit an egg against a stone? In other words, if you have the courage, you can hit the rocks with soap bubbles?
If a flesh and blood body wants to be close to the sun, it must at least be immune to the damage of the sun, right? Can Yunzhou find another person like this?
In addition to him, it would be enough to add Xiang Yangzi at most.
Marquis Gao Yuan explained a few more words and said: "As soon as possible. If we can uproot these turtle bandits and tell them to stop their conspiracy, you will have more time. But after all, it is a personal problem that must be solved sooner or later. If we can't kill the turtle bandits, , there is really not much time left. Mr. Zhang is looking for the classics? "
Tang Zhao said: "He went to collect information about Dongjun and the Golden Crow Sword. I'm afraid I might have made some omissions in such a big matter, and I still need guidance from my husband. After he has sorted out the classics, I will make a tentative call first."
Marquis Gao Yuan hummed, and Tang Zhao couldn't help but ask: "What state did you see the Golden Crow Sword in?"
Marquis Gao Yuan sighed: "I don't know either. All I can see is strong light and powerful energy - that's a power I can't imagine. It's funny. I think I'm well-informed, but I really see this with my own eyes. Only with the strength can you realize that your own knowledge is still too small.”
She pondered: "But it seems that your judgment is right. Except for the sword, it is impossible for any sword immortal to release such energy for a long time. Not even the sword force. But the light is too stable, like the light in the sky The sun is as stable. If it was conscious, wouldn't it fluctuate with changes in its mind? It's so stable, even if it's conscious, it's probably dormant."
Although having a sense of autonomy would make the sword elusive, Gao Yuanhou still hoped that it would be intelligent, because then it would be possible to communicate and even trade normally, possibly resolve it peacefully, and allow the Golden Crow Sword to leave Yunzhou on its own. But if you don’t even have a sense of autonomy, then all that’s left is head-on confrontation. When there is no equivalent force, I really don’t know how to suppress the Golden Crow Sword?
Everything in front of us is unknown, and we can only hope that "the ship will straighten out when it reaches the bridge."
At that moment, Tang Zhao put on the new military attaché uniform prepared by the Prosecution Department and participated in a mobilization meeting as a personal guard of Marquis Gao Yuan.
The meeting venue is located in the "Xuanjing Pavilion" on the second floor of Zhaojian Building. It is also a high-rise building with a view of the water. It is open on all sides and can be seen at a glance. With the curtains drawn, you can only see the outside from the inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside. It is suitable for a secret meeting.
This meeting was very secret, and the participants were all people trusted by Marquis Gao Yuan.
After entering the Xuanjing Pavilion, Tang Zhao discovered that there were so many swordsmen in Yunzhou.
Gao Yuanhou summoned a total of twelve swordsmen, including company commanders and Xing Ji. These were people she trusted and could be summoned in a short time. Behind every swordsman master were several times the number of swordsman subordinates and more. There are many swordsmen in reserve, not to mention the batches of new students who pass the selection every year, which shows that the strength of the Yunzhou Marquis Mansion is not trivial.
Even though they were all trustworthy people selected by Marquis Gao Yuan, Marquis Gao Yuan did not tell everything about the Golden Crow Sword. He only said that he had studied the formation and received reliable information. What the turtle bandits planned to deploy in Yunzhou was a terrifying formation that could crush the earth, cause the magma underground to erupt, and turn Yunzhou into scorched earth.
This is not a lie. Once the clouds are cleared and the sun is revealed, the consequences will be so serious. Compared with the collapse of landslides and the loss of lives, the appearance of the Golden Crow Sword is not a big deal to Yunzhou. The swordsmen heard the excitement of the crowd and cursed the turtle bandits. Not to mention the turtle bandits, they wished that even the turtles in Yunzhou were extinct.
Marquis Gao Yuan immediately mobilized his troops and ordered Lieutenant General Yunzhou to blockade the provinces according to counties, and continued to intensify the pursuit of the participating forces of the turtle bandits. The inspection department took each formation node as the center of the circle, and searched out inch by inch, and no one was allowed to do so. If any additional, temporary nodes appear, the Jing'an Division will mobilize all intelligence forces to dig deep into the hidden stumps of the turtle bandits. It is an extraordinary opportunity. Anyone who encounters a suspicious person should be detained first and then screened. It is better to be in vain than to let him go. Even the power of the Prison Suppression Department has been further mobilized. All development plans in the Demon Prison have been suspended. Only the power that can suppress the Yin Qi is maintained. The rest of the staff are mobilized to set up checkpoints at various key points and block them layer by layer.
In short, the dragnet is super doubled!
Then, Gao Yuanhou introduced Tang Zhao.
In fact, Tang Zhao was already very conspicuous when he came out. Most of the swordsmen didn't recognize him. Just from his appearance, he looked unusually old. He was a swordsman and had an extremely high official rank. He looked weird no matter how he looked. Marquis Gao Yuan said that Ming Tang Zhao had made great contributions to cracking the formation of the turtle bandits. In order to commend his talent, he was first given the rank of third grade, and then led a group of people to attack the formation of the turtle bandits, destroy the formation, and start from the source. Disrupt the turtle pirates' conspiracy.
The swordsmen suddenly realized...it turned out to be a technical post again. That's right. Previously, a swordsmith was promoted as a commander, and now it's not surprising that there is another one who studies formations. Technology is also very popular these days...
Wait, you said this young and shameless swordsman still knows the formation? Are you also outstanding academically?
Big brothers and sisters, come out and see the gods!
Amidst the various attention salutes of the swordsmen, Marquis Gao Yuan gave him a list of swordsmen under various departments who would be selected to follow Tang Zhao to conquer the formation and perform special tasks.
All the swordsmen were a little confused when they looked at the list - the people on this list were their respective subordinates, and some of them were registered and capable subordinates, but... these guys know shit about formations? There are even people whose brains are notoriously poor and cannot even understand arithmetic within a hundred. How can they still be arrested to study formations?
This thing is not something that can be learned in a hurry!
Because everyone was picking up their own names separately, they did not notice that the sword elephants of all the selected swordsmen were biased towards light and flame.
Finally, Marquis Gao Yuan said: "Everyone, let's go back to work. We have worked hard these past few months, and when we settle the matter with the turtle bandits, we will all count as a great achievement. In these two months, everyone needs to work together, and don't lose the big for the small. Tang Zhaoyou Whatever requirements are required, each department should give priority to meeting them."
She specifically mentioned Tang Zhao, which made the swordsmen even more surprised. However, since all of them were close friends of Marquis Gao Yuan, they naturally obeyed the order solemnly. Seeing that the meeting was about to break up, a gentle female swordsman stood up. She was the commander of the Jing'an Division and reported: "Your Majesty, four Dongfeng Envoys have come from the Tongming Palace in the capital to investigate the matter of Yunzhou's two clones. I don't know how to deal with it. ?”
Tang Zhao was surprised, why are there two clones of Wang in Yunzhou? You can't help it anymore, are you going to counterattack the human world?
How did he know that if it hadn't been for his explosion in Bai Yujing, Yunzhou would not have had two clones.
Marquis Gao Yuan said: "Jing'an Division is following them, don't be alarmed for now. If they only track down Wang Liang, if there is any abnormality, they will be detained and secretly sent to Zhongtian Mansion for Mr. Zhang to deal with. In such an emergency period, we must prioritize."
The commander of the Jing'an Division agreed, and then said: "According to wire reports, it is also suspected that someone is smuggling across the front lines..."
Marquis Gao Yuan looked at her - although according to current laws, frontline swordsmen were not allowed to retreat to the human world privately, this kind of thing was always inevitable and happened from time to time. Yunzhou also has a set of procedures for dealing with stowaways, so why should there be a special report?
The commander said softly: "It is suspected that Caiyun Gui, there are two people..."
Marquis Gao Yuan raised his eyebrows - Caiyun Gui was in big trouble when he had to deal with the Golden Crow Sword. He immediately said: "Detain him. You arranged to arrest the person and secretly imprison him in Zhongtian Mansion. If you can't find the person, I will give you the position." .”
The commander hurriedly said: "I'll do it now." She didn't dare to let Gao Yuanhou give her a position. Although Gao Yuanhou clearly saw thousands of miles, it took a lot of time to find people in the world. She didn't want to work for the prince, and they His job is to provide intelligence. If the Lord is asked to find someone in person, why should the Jing'an Department do it?
She was just a little confused: Caiyun Gui was a famous troublemaker, but it had little involvement with the human world. Shouldn't she turn a blind eye to it? Why are you taking the initiative to detain people? It's easy to catch them for a while, but the consequences are endless if you get infected by these mad dogs.
But since Marquis Gao Yuan gave the order, she naturally obeyed and didn't ask any more questions.
After a meeting, everyone went about their business step by step, and Tang Zhao went to recruit his first team in his life.
