This self-announcement of the front door was not a big one. For a moment, Shuangyue City seemed to have completely woken up from the morning light. Inside and outside the city, every household pushed the windows and opened the doors, curiously heading towards the city gate. Looking up at the sky, people walking and working on the streets even simply stopped and looked up at the faces of the monks.
"Jiuzhou Fengwu Zhi" records: "Two moons and one city, the folk customs are simple, and they always have an innocent heart. There is no distinction between high and low, just like the Taoyuan in the north, which is very different from other places."
Rong Tong mingled among the "crowds of onlookers" and could not help but sigh at the precision of the Wanhua Mirror's restoration.
Not long after, two figures hurriedly came from the city lord's mansion wielding swords. Rong Tong's expression condensed. One of them was clearly Mengmeng!
However, according to Li Jingxun, she was the one who sent the urgent request for help to Feng Yuji and the others. The text message was even incomplete, as if the information had been lost after bypassing numerous interceptions, and all their subsequent contacts were silent. Anyone could sense something deeply ominous.
Next to Mengmeng was a tall, slender and beautiful woman in a purple coat and red skirt, with her hair combed in three locks. She bowed her head and bowed her head together:
"I am the wife of Meng Yuan, the current Lord of Shuangyue City. I have met with all the immortal elders with my son. My husband is seriously ill and unable to greet me from afar. Please forgive me for this -"
The leading inner monk is a real person in the middle stage of becoming a god. His appearance remains in his youth like most monks, but his facial contours have the hardness honed in the military. Rong Tong had met him once and knew that his Taoist name was Chi Ming. He was in the Kunlun Army led by Taizhen Yuanjun, ranging from military commander to general, equivalent to the position of chief of staff. He was a person with real power in the army. .
Master Chi Ming coldly took out the photo ball from the Qiankun bag, "Have you seen this person in recent days?"
The person in the image, Yushu Lanzhi, is in the wind and rain.
Mengmeng's eyes widened with uneasiness in them. Before Mrs. Meng could speak, she asked anxiously: "Senior, what's wrong with him?!"
"Mengmeng, don't be rude!" Mrs. Meng blocked her daughter behind her and blessed the real people. "This person is engaged to my little daughter. She was a little anxious at the moment and asked all the immortals to Forgive me!"
"But it is true that he has never been to Shuangyue City. Even my little daughter has not heard from him for several months. If you, the immortal elders, want to find him, I am afraid you will have to find another place."
"Since he is an old friend, we will not elaborate on his identity. This person was appointed as the Kunlun Military Commander in early March. He was supposed to take office a few months ago, but he defected at the post. Before defecting, he also stole Kunlun's military deployment in the Guandong Peninsula. Now he is on the most wanted list."
Mengmeng, who was firmly blocked by her mother, couldn't help but exclaimed, "Impossible! Seniors, are you mistaken? My husband is definitely not that kind of person!"
Master Chiming ignored her and only said seriously to Mrs. Meng: "We have been tracing all the way and determined that he went all the way north and finally disappeared near Shuangyue City. I hope you know the seriousness of this matter. If there is a cover-up, the entire Shuangyue City Everyone will be implicated!”
"I really haven't seen it before." Mrs. Meng shook her head without being humble or condescending. "I can't say I'm innocent based on my clothes alone. Shuangyue City is not big. When the immortal grows up, he can use his spiritual consciousness to cover the whole city. I heard that Fengqing is still in the realm. He has not yet transformed into a god, his cultivation is not as good as that of an immortal, my husband has been ill for a long time, and both my mother and daughter are not as old as Yuanying. If he is really here, it will be difficult to hide his traces, right?"
This suggestion sounds reasonable, but Chi Ming's face is not very good-looking. What Mrs. Meng can think of, wouldn't these Kunlun elites think of it? Long before they arrived at Shuangyue City, those in their divine transformation stage had already divided up their work and used their spiritual consciousness to sweep half of the northern territory. Shuangyue City was naturally among them, but they found nothing.
But the military plane is urgent, so they still need to come here to investigate in person. If even Shuangyue City can't find this person, then they want to know how Feng Qing, a late Nascent Soul, disappeared under the noses of many powerful people in Kunlun. , the degree of difficulty increases exponentially.
Mrs. Meng made a sign of please, and she was aboveboard.
"Sir, maybe I really made a mistake..." Several deputies behind him whispered.
"Sir, be careful!" Suddenly, another female voice interrupted.
Master Chi Ming raised his eyebrows and looked back diagonally from the corner of his eye. She was the only female cultivator in their pursuit team, and she was also the one with the lowest cultivation level.
The reason why she was able to participate in this operation was entirely because she was the first person to discover Feng Qing's defection and report it to the military immediately.
"Sir, before he defected, Feng Qing had made a statement to the Political Council, saying that Shuangyue City was in danger and begging Kunlun to send people to rescue him. No matter what the motive behind his sudden defection was, it could not be separated from Shuangyue City. It’s related!”
She did not use voice transmission to speak these words, but spoke directly, and everyone on both sides heard them clearly.
"Song Qingping? Isn't this the clerk of the auditorium?"
A familiar female voice sounded in Rong Tong's ears. He walked to her side, hugged Qin Ni and glanced at her. He sneered softly, "You don't have to be like this. I won't take action against you again at this juncture."
Rong Tong smiled and stretched out his hand from the Qiankun bag, and the eighteen defensive weapons that he had grabbed fell into the bag again one by one.
"Hai, I know you're doing it for my own good, so there's no need for us to have this feud, right?"
Baoqin ignored her intention to reconcile, "Wasn't she a member of the small team led by you when the Nan Jin party came? She was present when they were clearing out the corpses and interrogating the Nan Jin branch. What? Turning around, Feng Yuji Sold?"
Although she asked this question, there was already inquiry and suspicion in her eyes when she looked at Rong Tong.
Rong Tong remained silent and just continued to laugh.
In mid-air, Mrs. Meng showed a look of surprise, and she subconsciously looked back at her daughter.
Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, but when she realized what she was doing, she shrank her neck in grievance, "Aunt...it's not me...I have never written such a letter to my husband."
Mrs. Meng stared at her daughter's misty eyes, touched her hair gently, turned back to all the Kunlun monks and said, "Shuangyue City has been protected by Kunlun for thousands of years, and has always been peaceful and healthy. Although my husband is unfortunately suffering from a stubborn disease, We can still handle all the affairs in the city, and have not yet reached the point where we need to ask for help from Kunlun. Even if we really ask for medical advice, it is our duty to do so, and we will never contact the Kunlun monks privately. Please see if there is any misunderstanding in this. ?”
But although her words were sincere, they did not dispel the suspicion aroused by Song Qingping in the narrowed eyes of Chi Ming.
The two sides looked at each other, and at the end, Mrs. Meng sighed and backed down, "Okay, it's useless to talk more, then I'll ask all the immortals to enter the city to investigate. Shuangyue City will fully cooperate and there will never be any slack."
After Song Qingping clarified that sentence, she remained silent behind her back and let Master Chi Ming decide. Master Chi Ming's eyes were heavy and he was silent for a moment. He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the city——
"Everyone enter the city and search carefully!"
Seeing this, Rong Tong, who was on the ground, could not help but fall back a little. She rubbed her hands and said, "Let's go in with them!"
However, she took a few steps towards the city gate and realized something was wrong. When she looked back, Baoqin was still standing there, so Rong Tong had no choice but to walk back to her with small steps in frustration.
"Ancestor, if we have any conflicts, can we at least wait until this matter is over before we can resolve it? You yourself know that Shuangmoon City is full of dangers, and now is not a good time for internal divisions!"
Baoqin glanced at her lightly, "Didn't you say that you can solve the problems here by yourself? Then just do it yourself."
Only then did Rong Tong deeply understand what it means to shoot oneself in the foot. She had a hard time laughing, "Well... you see... you need your eyes to crack the mastermind of Wanhua Mirror. After all, human life is at stake. You There is no need for the conflict between me to affect innocent people, right?"
Baoqin's voice was cold, "In this world, only your life is related to me."
Ah - if you don’t look at the context and gender, these words are really flirtatious...
"Hey...hey...where are you going?!" Rong Tong watched with straight eyes as Huo Qin walked further and further away, "Look at your pale face! Fuck you, you start again bleeding……"
The master was unfaithful to the party who was under the command of the soul contract. Baoqin's departure obviously violated Rong Tong's words, and the punishment was triggered again.
"Even if I am injured, I am still stronger than you. You should take care of yourself first!" Bao Qinhun waved his hand carelessly, and dots of red appeared on the yellow earth.
Rong Tong took a deep breath and tried to calm the ups and downs in his chest...Okay, can we just count her as the loser?
"I understand, you don't have to follow me. I will do this trip myself."
After she whispered these words, she saw the figure of the other party in front of her swaying slightly. Finally, he stopped bleeding. But the next moment, the tall and thin figure disappeared in front of her eyes.
All the Kunlun monks in the sky had entered the city. Rong Tong turned around and walked quickly into the towering city gate.
The candlelight in the dark hall was as deep as the sea, and the voices of arguments faded in and out, and gradually began to show signs of violence——
"Why should we let people from the inner sect in? You know, every step we take carries risks. This is simply unnecessary!"
"Do you think we think so? Alas, that Montessori woman made her own decision!"
"You are using the dead as a shield when things happen? You control the Wanhua Mirror. Why can't you even control the words and deeds of a projection?!"
"The Wanhua Mirror extracts a composite projection from her life. All actions must be consistent with her life. In other words, if this Montessori woman was alive, she would definitely do this."
"Who asked you to explain this to me? Wanhua Mirror is dead and you are alive. Don't you know how to make some adjustments?"
"Once we intervene rashly, the seamlessness created by the Wanhua Mirror may have flaws. Is your consciousness in the transformation stage so easy to deceive?"
"..."
The two sides were having a heated argument, when suddenly one person said impatiently: "Okay-"
These guys who refused to obey anyone actually gradually became quiet.
"Do whatever you have to do. Things have already happened. No matter how much talk you spend here, can you still turn back time?"
Everyone lowered their heads and said yes.
The man pinched his eyebrows and said, "I have some confidence in the Wanhua Mirror. After all, the head personally participated in the design of this thing back then. Just a few of them wouldn't be able to detect anything strange... Hehe, we all almost missed it this time." According to Feng Qing's words, stealing the military plane was a lie, but luring the people from the military headquarters was real... The day before the Xuanzhu was obtained, the whereabouts of the ruins would not be known for a day. The important thing has not been accomplished, so I will be more careful in everything I do in the future. !”
There was another chorus of agreement.
The man waved his hand, indicating that the argument was over and that those who should work should go to work quickly.
"Wait a moment,"
The crowd had almost dispersed. As if he remembered something, he waved to call the one closest to him.
"Remind that Long Yang, don't torment Feng Qing too much! He is the best bait to lure out the little girl who escaped."
————
Chiming Zhenren and his party's exploration in Shuangyue City lasted from early morning to midnight, but it was not satisfactory.
"Twenty-five Square District in the south of the city, none."
"Twenty-four squares in the northwest and northeast, none."
"There are two major markets in East Market and West Market, none."
"..."
It really looks like what Mrs. Meng said, Shuangyue City is "above and aboveboard".
"Why hasn't Song Qingping come over yet? It's because she didn't report it!" Master Chi Ming rubbed his forehead.
"She said that she and the Miss Mengshi are old acquaintances, and she plans to use her to visit the Lord Meng who has been ill for a long time. At the moment... there is no news." The deputy answered.
"Didn't we meet City Lord Meng earlier?" Master Chi Ming frowned, "He looks like he is about to die, what can he plan? Ask her to come back soon!"
The deputy responded, "Sir, do you want to continue tomorrow?"
"Let others stay put and I will notify you later."
The deputy nodded, but after hesitating for a moment he couldn't help but said:
"Actually... Sir, the military defense deployment in Guandong has been urgently changed. Although Feng Qing's theft of military aircraft is an unforgivable crime, it has not yet reached the point of irreversibility. No one can be found for a while, I guess. She has made it clear to Taizhen Yuanjun that she will not arrange to arrest him until the battle with Tianminghui is over, and she may be able to understand."
Master Chi Ming was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question, "What kind of person do you think Feng Qing is?"
The deputy was stunned for a moment, "My subordinates rarely interact with him. This... is difficult to evaluate."
"Just tell me your impression of him."
"This... I heard from colleagues who have friendship with him that this person has always been upright and upright, and has an excellent reputation."
"Your colleague is right." Master Chi Ming said solemnly, "I have watched Feng Qing grow up. Others don't know his character, but I know it best."
He seemed to be lost in memories, "When he was still waiting for selection at the outer gate, I was the one who took him."
"In that period of disciple selection, thousands of children were able to come to the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Each inner disciple of the Golden Elixir stage was responsible for fifty or sixty people. Teenage children had just come into contact with the practice of Taoism and did not understand anything. There are a few people with naughty and irresponsible personalities, and we are really one of the top two."
"This shows that he is particularly challenging among them. Not only is he smart, but the most valuable thing is that he has a calm and responsible personality. We are grateful that other children do not cause trouble for us, and he has been able to actively help us share the schoolwork management of other outer disciples. . At that time, there were other outer disciples who were very dissatisfied with him, thinking that he was trying to cling to him, so they often made things difficult for him. Feng Qing always tolerated it silently or solved it alone, and never acted like a fox or a tiger. She was sensitive to things and cautious in speaking. He is Taoist and upright, and at a young age, he can already bear the word 'gentleman'."
The subordinate listened silently, "You speak highly of him."
Master Chi Ming sighed, "He did not catch up with the good times. After one year, he was selected into the inner sect, but just in time for the master's promotion..."
The rest, needless to say, is understood by all the inner monks who have experienced these three hundred years.
"He could have been brilliant, but he encountered the worst of times. After the decades when everyone was in danger, other low-level monks were desperately looking for backers and disciples. His temperament seemed to be modest. But he doesn’t want to bow his head easily.”
"A Yuan Ying who is in his early three hundred years old has been suppressed and worked as a Cao official for decades. A few months ago, he finally got a chance to be transferred. I recommended him to the military department. Although the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, his military exploits But it’s faster to get promoted than other ways.”
"I can see that after all these years, he still has the drive to make progress."
Master Chi Ming closed his eyes. He still remembered that in the early spring, when their teachers and students rarely got together, he couldn't help but drink some wine during the dinner. After being persuaded by him to drink two glasses of wine, Feng Qing's eyes became brighter. , said teacher, I may really need to pay more attention. He asked what are you trying to hold on to? Feng Qing rubbed her temples, her face was a little red, and she quickly saved her wife's book, her fiancée was about to grow up...
He couldn't help but laugh at that time, but now he was completely confused. Would a person with care and hope in his heart really suddenly embark on the path of a desperado?
"Now that he is on the wanted list, anyone who sees him will be killed without mercy. If I don't hold him accountable this time, he will die without a complete body the next time someone comes. If he really has evil thoughts for a moment, of course I will treat him impartially, but If there is really any injustice involved, he will never be able to vindicate the injustice again..." Master Chi Ming sighed and shook his head.
"Listening to what you said, my subordinates actually have some doubts in their hearts... Feng Qing stole the map of the military aircraft deployed in Kanto. Most people thought that he wanted to communicate with internal and external enemies. Who is the enemy he communicated with? What is the current power of the Tianming Society? Mainly located in Kanto, why would he go all the way north..."
"Sir!" The attendant who came from outside hurriedly opened the door and entered.
"It's getting more and more unruly!" Master Chi Ming frowned and scolded, "Why are you so flustered?"
"It's Song Qingping..." The attendant couldn't even take a breath, "Song Qingping just killed someone in the master bedroom of the city lord!"
Master Chi Ming and his deputy looked at each other, each seeing the horrified look in the other's eyes.
"Let's go -" Chi Mingzhen stood up.
