Yu Sheng knew He Lao's abilities very well, but she didn't know what he was like in private. Was he leaving without saying goodbye, or was he in danger?
No matter what, she still had to look for him. She informed the spy department to track He Lao's whereabouts after leaving the mountain.
Half a day later, a volume of Tantra was presented, which made her look gloomy. She and the old man went to the inn in Longxi Corridor and have not come out yet. The latter one is that someone suspected of Qi Huan entered the inn and never came out again. .
The two people were connected... Yu Sheng walked out of the study and sent a message to Ling Weichu, asking him to change the defense of Wangjun Mountain, while escaping to Longxi Inn.
He Lao was killed, and He Lao and Qi Huan teamed up to act to steal Wangjunshan information. The two may be evenly matched.
The intelligence found by the spy department was very detailed. As soon as she entered Longxi Inn, she went upstairs and found the room she shared with her husband.
After observing for a while, Yu Sheng kicked open the door. As expected, there was no one inside. The room was so clean that there was no trace of anyone inside and outside. She couldn't find anyone even with her tracking technique.
I asked the store owner again and he said that the two people did not come back down after going upstairs.
After Yu Sheng thought about it, he passed the news to Hua Jianci. During this period, Hua Jianci was speculating on the future of the country. When he received the news, he didn't want to think about it, but his heart moved slightly, so he calculated it for her and replied. , "My fellow Taoist is dead, Qi Huan is not here, hiding the enemy."
"Feiyu, can Liang Xiasheng find Qi Huan there?"
"Wait a moment." Wu Feiyu ordered Liang Xiasheng to go to Qi Huan. The servant said that the young master was frightened and was in bed and should not see people.
Liang Xiasheng barged into Qi Huan's dormitory in the name of discussing matters, but found only an empty couch and Ji Qianqiu was nowhere to be seen.
"It's a bit strange that Qi and Ji disappeared at this juncture, and they disappeared without any trace. It was definitely not a temporary incident." Yu Sheng thought of the previous news and said, "Last time you said that Ji Qianqiu might be with Qi Qianqiu. He is related to the Celestial Clan, but he himself was once a deacon of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, and there are a large number of Rogue Cultivators in the recent million-member coalition."
"The fact that millions of coalition troops can gather so quickly cannot be explained by the will of the people. I suspect that as soon as the incident broke out, someone was pushing for a coalition. Although I am not sure what this has to do with Ji Qianqiu, but when you recruit troops and appease the people, , I’m afraid I have to spend more energy and pay attention to the movements of the casual cultivators.”
Except for sect disciples, family disciples, and dynasty disciples, all other monks can be classified as casual cultivators. This range is really wide.
Wu Feiyu was dumbfounded, "Doesn't that mean that when I recruit them, I have to investigate their potential backgrounds one by one to avoid recruiting people with bad intentions?"
"That's a question, do you have any ideas?"
"...Do you mind if I use special means?"
In just sixty years, three large cities, a dozen small cities, and an unknown number of independent caves sprung up in the once desolate northern border. When the Day Clan army followed the principle of being near and conquered the first city, the world began to rise. Heavy rain and rumbling thunder are refreshing.
After the Day tribe's army dealt with the leaders in the city, they rested and set off towards their next goal, leaving the city behind them in a state of depression in the heavy rain.
Not long after they left, the monks who were hiding in the city popped up. Behind the door, next to the window, and at the entrance of the alley, they carefully looked at the messy street. The corpses were lying in the rain, and the blood was swimming freely, bright red. , and was quickly washed away by the rain, fading to nothing.
The familiar monks talked carefully, wondering what the Day Clan would do to ordinary residents like them, or the outcome of this war, whether the Day Clan would take back the northern territory, or whether other forces would compromise.
Some monks also sneaked up to the nearest corpse, touched it inside and out, and said, "It's bad luck, it was really clean."
Suddenly, the clear sound of horse hooves passed through the heavy rain and penetrated into everyone's ears. They were so frightened that they closed the doors and windows and hid themselves. They did not dare to let out their consciousness for fear of causing trouble.
"The Zhou people patrolled and reorganized the city. Wanqiu City was renamed Caiche and designated as a sixth-grade small town without counties and towns. The city lord's palace was renamed the Chief Executive's Office. All the land was returned to the Zhou people. The original store owners and residents should arrive as soon as possible. The Chief Executive's Office has changed the corresponding contract, and those who do not have the Jade Certificate of Clearance from the Day Clan within fifteen days will be regarded as individual travelers, and the land they occupy will be forcibly taken back."
"The Day Clan is patrolling the herds and recruiting talented people. From now on, the position of an assistant officer will be opened for administration, military supplies, and the government needs to be in charge. Anyone who is willing to join the Day Clan and has a clean background and dignified moral character can participate in the assessment."
"The day tribe patrols the herds and recruits generals. They are divided into two battalions: supernumerary and formal. Those who are interested can go to the Chief Executive's Office to inquire about specific matters."
...
It's not arresting, but recruiting?
Some people quietly poked out their spiritual consciousness, and some people pushed open a crack in the window, and they all saw a guard in black walking forward in the heavy rain, holding a halberd, as if they were cutting through the rain curtain with cold swords pointing to the sky.
At the front are the three people riding the Liuyun Yezhao Lion. The one on the right looks kind and benevolent, solemnly reciting the laws and regulations, and the voice can be heard throughout the city. The one on the left has a serious face, and his eyes sweeping around are like sharp blades. Both of them were in the realm of life and death and were full of momentum, but they were no match for the one riding alone in the middle and front.
A night-like cloak covered her body, and a wide hood covered her face. Only a white and slender hand could be seen, holding an red jade wand wrapped with vines, hanging casually on her leg. From the side, her whole body seemed to be surrounded by boundless vortexes decorated with stars. It was simple, mysterious, and one would be addicted at a glance.
Many monks seemed to be bewitched and came out of their hiding places out of curiosity, falling far behind them to see what they were going to do.
This group of people came to the former city lord's mansion, broke the plaque in front of the door, entered the mansion, closed the door, and there was no movement for a long time.
At this time, in the mansion, Wen Chen, who was temporarily captured from the Military Academy, was immersed in reading the remaining documents and files of the former city lord. Lu Yishan led people to check the layout of the mansion everywhere in preparation for rectification.
The Zhou people were short of manpower, so they transferred teachers and disciples from the Military Academy to temporarily form a team responsible for dealing with the aftermath. Wen Chen sighed with worry, "Anyway, in the past few years, there have been many economic talents in the academy, and civil servants are all Be prepared so that no one will occupy the important position of the Chief Executive's Office. The only problem is that there is no force to defend the city. Do you really trust that the civilian officers and soldiers selected in a few days will defend the city?"
He waited for a long time and no one answered. When he looked up, there was no one else in the warehouse besides him. What about Wu Feiyu? Don't run away!
Wu Feiyu looked impatiently at the files and came out alone. Her figure and appearance were all hidden under a cloak like a robe. After covering her charming face, she actually became steady and majestic, which made it difficult for people to detect her true nature. .
It's not like she didn't do anything. Before she opened the palace to recruit people, she used the spiritual staff to check the wishes of the monks in the city, discerning each person's character and experience from clues, and preparing for recruitment.
After the rectification of the palace was completed, a plaque with the words "Government Hall" was hung on the former city lord's palace. The door was opened for contract changes and recruitment, but no one showed up for a while.
