Yongdu, Luoyang, was called Luoyi and Luojing in ancient times.
It borders Luoshui to the north, Taiyi to the east, and Jiuquan Yumen 1,200 miles to the northwest.
After leaving the Jade Gate, you will see the endless plateau of the Western Regions, and Luoyang is the starting point of this ancient Silk Road connecting the nine countries of the world and the Western Regions.
Trade with the countries in the Western Regions has existed since ancient times, but in recent decades, due to the decreasing friction between the Nine Kingdoms of Heaven and Land, the trade between the Nine Kingdoms and the countries in the Western Regions has reached its peak.
Luoyang occupies an excellent geographical advantage, develops rapidly, and becomes increasingly prosperous. It has the potential to be the first city in the nine countries of heaven and earth.
In another world, Lin Sumo also visited another Luoyang.
It's just that the ancient Luoyang of that world has long been covered up by high-rise buildings and has lost its original appearance.
In the Luoyang in front of him, Lin Sumo seemed to see the shadow of Luoyang, the divine capital of the Tang Dynasty.
"The flowers are blooming, that's what you see in front of you!"
At the 'Daguan Restaurant' in the west of Luoyang City, Lin Sumo stood by the window and looked at Luoyang City in the distance.
As far as the eye can see, there is a bright light.
Under night, there are rows of pavilions and pavilions, and the streets are brightly lit with people coming and going.
The sound of hawking, laughter, and the sound of strings came mixed together, but it didn't seem noisy.
Lin Sumo, Qiu Jinchuan, and Feng Daoyi led more than 20 sergeants from the "Hanshan Camp" to take the lead. It only took three days to arrive at Luoyang, Yongdu, and met Su Qiumo, who had arrived three days ago. round.
Luoyang City is divided into five areas: east, west, north, south and the inner city. It spans 108 cities and has a population of more than two million.
Among these five areas, the east and west cities are the most prosperous.
The "Daguan Restaurant" rented by Su Qiumo as the future temporary base of the "Hanshan Military Mansion" is the "Chongye Fang" in the West City, and "Chongye Fang" is immediately adjacent to the main arterial road in the West City - —Baihu Street.
"What the military leader said is absolutely true. Among the nine countries in the world, apart from Lin'an, the capital of Yu, which can be compared with it, Luoyang is the most prosperous!" Feng Dao stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Feng Lao has been to Lin'an?" Lin Sumo asked.
Feng Dao smiled and said: "When I was young, I didn't know the heights of the world. I traveled all over the world with my sword alone. I stayed in Lin'an for two years. At that time, it had been several years since the last war between Liang, Yong, Hebei and Henan. When the Henan Kingdom crossed After passing the danger of annihilation, the national power became stronger and stronger, and Lin'an City also developed rapidly. In addition, Andao Lin, known as the "Tianwen Sect" at that time, accepted apprentices and taught at the West Lake Academy outside Lin'an City. Scholars from the nine countries of Tianlu and Tianlu flocked to it. , for a time, Lin'an City became the center that people in the world yearn for..."
While he was talking, there was a sound of rapid footsteps.
Su Qiumo's expression changed slightly, and she immediately stood up and walked forward to meet him.
After a moment, a man was seen walking quickly upstairs. After bowing to Su Qiumo, he whispered a few words.
Su Qiumo nodded when he heard this, and then waved his hand to signal him to leave. Then, he turned back behind Lin Sumo, bowed and said: "Military Commander, the person you are looking for has been found!"
Lin Sumo asked: "Where?"
Su Qiumo said: "The mass grave outside the west city gate!"
"oh?"
Lin Sumo turned back in surprise and said, "Let's go and have a look!"
Twenty miles outside Ximen City, there is an unnamed hill. To the north of the hill is a mass grave. All unclaimed corpses in Luoyang City, or prisoners executed by Ming Zhengdian, are buried here.
In front of a new grave, the loose soil on the ground was dug up, revealing seven corpses.
These corpses were huddled together and buried in a pit. Two of the corpses were none other than the boss Qin Ye Qin whom Lin Sumo met when he purchased the 'Tai Xuan Dan Cauldron'. It is Qin Ye's third brother Hu Tian.
However, there was another Yang Zhao. It was unknown whether he escaped or died elsewhere, and was not among the seven corpses.
On that day, Boss Qin had tried his best to invite Lin Sumo to Luoyang, but he didn't expect to meet again under such circumstances. According to Wu Ming's speculation at the time, Boss Qin's group should be "Tufuzi", which are commonly known as tomb robbers.
After a while, the seven corpses were taken out one by one, and then the ANBU sergeants recruited by Su Qiumo inspected the seven corpses one by one.
"Has the cause of death been found?" Lin Sumo asked.
"Report to the military leader!"
The Anbu sergeant who temporarily acted as a puppet bowed and responded: "The murderer must be a master of transformation. These seven deceased people all died from a heart-breaking palm. The palm force penetrated the chest and shook the heart into pulp. , but the external skin, flesh and bones are not damaged at all.”
Lin Sumo asked again: "Have you ever found out how long it took you to die?"
The sergeant said: "It shouldn't take more than two days!"
Lin Sumo said: "Have you found any other clues?"
The sergeant shook his head and said: "Those who kill people and dump their bodies are very experienced. Apart from their personal clothes, nothing else was left on these seven dead people! Judging from the way they did things, they were either the Beifu Division of the Yong Kingdom or the Six Gates. !”
The Beifu Division is a force directly under the Yong Kingdom Emperor Li Cunxu. It only takes orders from Li Cunxu. In addition to protecting the palace and protecting Li Cunxu's safety, it is also responsible for collecting military and political intelligence and monitoring the world. Its reputation is comparable to that of another world. The famous 'Jinyiwei'.
The Beifu Division is divided into two internal and external departments, namely the Left and Right Governor's Departments. The Left Governor's Department is in charge of internal affairs and is responsible for prisons, inspections, supervision, etc. in Yong Kingdom. The Right Governor's Department is in charge of external affairs and is responsible for infiltration of enemy countries, intelligence collection, Instigating rebellion, assassination, etc.
As for the "Six Gates", it is affiliated to the Yongguo Criminal Department and is responsible for the gang wars in Yongguo and the investigation of important criminals for the government.
There is some overlap with the Zuo Governor Division in terms of responsibilities, but this "Six Gates" chief arrester Guan Gang not only has a high level of cultivation, but also has reached the peak of transformation. He is also a confidant of Emperor Yongguo Li Cunxu, so the "Six Gates" 'The status in Yong State is comparable to that of 'Beifu Si'.
Lin Sumo said: "Master Su, please prepare seven coffins and choose a new place for burial!" After all, Lin Sumo couldn't bear to expose his body to the wilderness.
"Yes! Military Master!"
Su Qiumo responded.
The cause of death of Qin Ye, Hu Tian and other seven people is a mystery. However, as these people were tomb robbers, it should be common for them to die unexpectedly. However, at this sensitive time, Lin Sumo had to think twice.
Especially from the 'Tai Xuan Alchemy Cauldron', it is speculated that Qin Ye and his group must have entered the tomb of the last master of the Tai Xuan Sect, 'Dan Xuanzi', and brought out the 'Tai Xuan Alchemy Cauldron' and even 'immortality'. "Elixir" news, then could the deaths of Qin Ye and others be related to the "Elixir of Immortality"?
"Come out!"
Just after walking down from the mass grave, Lin Sumo suddenly stood still and shouted coldly.
"Sure enough, these country rats have accomplices!"
Suddenly, a burst of sneer came from the void, erratic.
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
Before Lin Sumo could take action, Feng Daoyi sneered and unsheathed the long sword behind him with a 'choking' sound. The sword's light was like lightning, and it slashed towards a big tree a few feet away.
'Crack', the big tree broke waist-high, and the top of the tree fell suddenly. Then a figure jumped up, drew an arc in the void, and pounced towards Fengdao.
"Well done!"
Feng Daoyi laughed loudly, and moved forward instead of retreating. The long sword in his hand turned into thunder and lightning and slashed out. It was the "One-Character Thunder Sword" that Feng Daoyi had become famous for many years.
"Bang!"
A loud noise came, and a long iron mace appeared in the man's hand to hold Feng Daoyi's long sword. The two tyrannical forces collided fiercely, and the energy flew away wantonly. Feng Daoyi and the man also retreated three steps each. They are evenly matched.
The man sneered solemnly and said: "Beifu Division is looking for important criminals, so you'd better just go ahead and capture them!"
Feng Daoyi smiled calmly and said, "We are just ordinary business travelers. I don't know what crime we have committed. Is there any evidence?"
The man said: "You all know in your mind what crime you are guilty of. As for the evidence, hey, Pontus' words are the evidence!"
As he spoke, Lin Sumo felt dozens of auras coming from all directions. Knowing that the matter could not be resolved, he immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Prepare for war! Don't let anyone go!"
Going out of the city tonight, Lin Sumo only brought Su Qiumo, Feng Daoyi, eight soldiers from the "Hanshan Camp" and more than a dozen ANBU soldiers.
It was obvious that the actions of his group had long been under the control of others, and even the whereabouts of Qin Ye and others were deliberately released by the other party.
The purpose was to fish out the person behind Qin Ye, but his group suffered an unreasonable disaster.
The identity of Lin Sumo and the 'Hanshan Military Mansion' must not be exposed, otherwise they will be strangled by the Yong Kingdom's Beifu Division and even the Yong Kingdom's military.
"Haha...let Pontus take them all!"
Seeing that the encirclement and closing of the net had been completed, the man laughed loudly and then shouted sharply.
There were about fifty people who surrounded them, and among them there were more than ten people who were above the realm of transformation.
Under the head of the Beifu Division are the left and right governors. Below the chief governor are the governors, and below them are the commanders. Then comes the level of the governor. A fourth-level governor alone can mobilize such a powerful force. This shows that the Northern Prefecture Division of Yong State is powerful.
With Lin Sumo's cultivation level, it would be easy for him to leave, but it would be difficult for others to leave safely, and once they were entangled by Beifu Division, trouble would follow. The simplest and crudest solution is to keep all these people here.
Thinking of this, Lin Sumo lightly stamped his foot, and a pebble flew into Lin Sumo's hand. With a slight squeeze, the pebble split into seven or eight pieces. Then, the power of yin and yang in his palm fluctuated, and the seven or eight pebbles Spinning in Lin Sumo's hands, when it reached extreme speed, the power of yin and yang exploded again, and these stones shot out in all directions like bullets.
"Puff puff--"
With a soft sound, the seven people who rushed forward were immediately hit by stones, and their heads exploded like exploding watermelons.
"Form up! Defend!"
At the same time, Lin Sumo shouted in a low voice, and then the eight Hanshan Camp soldiers and more than a dozen Anbu soldiers quickly gathered their formations, staggered inside and outside, and quickly formed a defensive barrel formation.
"Protect Mr. Su!"
Lin Sumo threw Su Qiumo into the battle formation, and then walked away like lightning to meet the group of people.
When he got closer, Lin Sumo suddenly waved his hands left and right, and the power of yin and yang in his hands rotated. In a moment, he saw two long swords scattered on the ground suddenly jumped up and fell into Lin Sumo's hands.
With the long sword in his hand, like a tiger with added wings, Lin Sumo pounced into the crowd, just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The long sword whirled, the sword energy criss-crossed, and with every rise and fall of the sword light, a life disappeared.
