The moonlight is bright and clear.
The dust has settled in the courtyard.
"Inspect the courtyard thoroughly, and conduct an investigation of the mansions in the nearby area at the same time."
Song Ran and others had been behind the imperial army before, so there was no chance for them to show off in this situation.
Immediately after receiving the order, the people leading the spy dispersed.
"Qu Bing, my master will go after the Tao Ancestor Slip, will there be any problem?" Liu Qing looked in the direction of Qin Qingyu, eager to follow him.
Her name for Huo Qubing was naturally changed.
Huo Qubing was thinking about something and said casually: "I have secretly left someone to help. I have followed him. We are in Chang'an again. Nothing will happen."
"Um?"
Liu Qing didn't quite understand the meaning of keeping someone secretly.
"Because I didn't know before I came here whether the other party deliberately leaked the aura of Dao Ancestor Jian. If this place was deliberately designed by the other party, these people you see are not all our manpower. We also arranged an ambush secretly to deal with unexpected changes. Have followed now.
It is impossible for any general to lay out all his arrangements openly. If his opponents can see clearly, why fight? "
Liu Qing said oh, it turned out that there was another plan secretly, and she didn't even notice it. It was amazing.
At this time, Detective Huo Qubing pulled off the black scarf on the face of the person on the ground, and the force in his palm moved past his face, making sure that the other person was his true face and not a disguise.
Of course, people with high cultivation will not use such crude means as disguising their faces to change their bone appearance with their inner breath. They are much more clever.
Dong Zhongshu, Zhang Tang, and Jiang Yan also came over.
They just took action and did not use all their strength to press the bottom of the box. But it's really remarkable that this person can withstand the combined attack of several of them for so long.
Several people also wanted to see who they were.
Under the black hijab, there is a face of about fifty years old, thin and slender, with a sallow complexion.
What is impressive is that his nose bridge is extremely high, his bones are obvious, and his eye sockets are sunken. The ups and downs of his face seem to contain the dangers of mountains and rivers. This is a very scheming face.
Another person was also carried over. He was choking on blood from his chest. If he didn't receive treatment, he would be dead.
Huo Qubing personally took action and searched the two of them.
There are not many things, a waist bag, and a scroll of bamboo slips, but they are not Taoist bamboo slips.
In other words, this person only has a brief picture of Daozu, far from the whole story.
"I ask you to answer, tell the truth and you can survive."
Huo Qubing stared at the two people with burning eyes, including Teng She in his consciousness, who also opened his eyes, firmly locking the two people's minds at the mental level, paying attention to any subtle changes in them.
Huo Qubing found that he had a sinister face, but he was not moved when he heard that this person with higher skills could survive.
The other person who was severely injured by him had a slight movement in his eyes, with a slight wave.
The old man can't get anything out through torture, so there is hope for him who was severely injured by me... Huo Qubing thought.
"Do you have the means to find out what's going on?"
Dong Zhongshu shook his head: "At this level, the soul is condensed. If you don't want to tell, it is impossible to ask for any clues."
Jiang Yan always paid attention to his posture, carried it with one hand, and said calmly: "Huo Hou can ask your majesty to try the Tianwen Jian, it is said that it can know the thoughts in other people's heads.
Only this kind of rare treasure passed down from ancient times may have an effect on people of this level.
The Heavenly Questions Slip is in the treasury of my Han Dynasty. It can be taken out if your Majesty agrees. "
"That's right." Zhang Tang's words were as precious as gold, and his face was carved out of wood throughout the whole process, and no emotional changes could be seen at all.
If none of them could find anything, Huo Qubing planned to beat the two of them to death and use Yuanshen Soaring Snake to see if he could find something.
But against people of this level, Teng She's current level of concentration probably won't yield much.
Since Tian Wen Jian has such an utensil, that would be the best.
"Treat this man's injuries and let him live first." Huo Qubing said.
Immediately, professional doctors under the secret investigation came forward.
This is the benefit of national power. When fighting, we also bring military doctors with us to provide logistical support. I wonder if you are afraid of it.
"Is this person the person Huo Hou wants to arrest?" Dong Zhongshu asked.
"Master, do you still care about this?"
Dong Zhongshu whispered: "I don't care if you can catch someone, but I want to go back and rest. Let's see what time it is."
"We're all here, why don't we sleep, why not fight together. I'm afraid there will be some turmoil these days. I will temporarily take over the guard army, and there is a shortage of someone to take charge. You can always come and help." Huo Qubing said.
Listen to how arrogant this guy is. Not only did he pull me over, he also wanted to use me as his attendant... Dong Zhongshu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the beard on his chin trembled slightly.
"I'm not going."
Master Dong categorically stated that it was absolutely impossible for him to serve as a military commander.
"Master came to Chang'an, didn't you want to promote the Bingfu Slips matter? If you help me for a few days, you are also helping His Majesty. Afterwards, I will help Master jointly promote the Bingfu Slips matter, how about that?" Huo Qubing said.
If you want to say that... Dong Zhongshu pondered for a moment and nodded reservedly: "Let me think about it."
Huo Qubing smiled secretly: This old master seems to have never been deceived.
At this time, Song Ran and others came back one after another to report: "I have inspected several surrounding mansions in sequence, from east to west, and the third house is empty. My expert secret agent went in to investigate, and made an unexpected discovery. .”
"The doctor ordered Shi Jian's father, Shi Yong, to be hidden there. When we found him, he had just died and had his neck broken."
Song Ran secretly admired him, because Huo Qubing had said before that if Shi Jian had any problems, someone must have held his father hostage to threaten him.
This is where Shi Jian is most likely to be targeted.
Depends on the situation, it is indeed the case.
Shi Jian probably didn't give in, and the people in the house over there probably discovered what happened here and immediately broke Shi Jian's father's neck and evacuated.
Including the Dao Ancestor Slip that was thrown out just now, it was also thrown in that direction...
Huo Qubing had mixed thoughts. The other party had accomplices, and he still wanted to throw the Dao Ancestor Slip out before he was captured alive. So the identity of the captured person... was unlikely to be a secret person, but rather a subordinate doing the work.
"The origins of this house and the connections behind it must be investigated."
Xiao Ying and Song Ran agreed in unison.
At this time, in the direction Qin Qingyu chased, she was returning with a sword energy.
The Taoist master clutched the Taoist ancestor slip in his hand and fell down.
At the same time, Huo Qubing listened attentively, and another voice secretly reported the situation to him, that is, the person he arranged for the ambush and the secret spy.
From Ru Bohu down, there are two secret agents, four deputy commanders, and six secret agents, all of whom are in high-level positions.
The person following in the dark is one of the two commanders.
There is also a Commander-in-Chief, Shi, who is expected to be beaten by Ru Bohu. Because of the secret investigation into internal issues, another person at the level of Commander Shi has been suspected.
"There are people waiting over there to pick up the Taoist ancestor slips that were thrown out.
Fortunately, Huo Hou had other plans and intervened to stop him, otherwise it would have taken some trouble to get back the Daozu Jian. "Qin Qingyu said.
"Where's the other person?"
"One was killed by me, and the other was caught by someone arranged by Huo Hou when he was escaping! The skills of the two are far inferior to the two we just ambushed."
"Tao Zun, let's see if any of them are the writers?" Huo Qubing pointed to the two prisoners next to him.
Qin Qingyu's eyes moved and fell on the two of them: "Fighting with me is a very high level of practice, but I'm not sure if you are someone in the dark."
Huo Qubing signaled to return to Weiyang Palace to command the camp first, but a low cry suddenly came from not far away.
The sinister-looking old man's face was twisted, and a cluster of green soul flames suddenly ignited between his eyebrows.
"You are bound to die soon..."
The voice was gloomy, and the old man's body seemed to be withering, quickly becoming shriveled, and the center of his eyebrows was burned through by green flames.
In the blink of an eye, all the vitality in his body was sucked out, and he weakened to death.
Huo Qubing reacted very quickly. He took a step forward and punched the other person to death. He stretched out his hand and forcibly touched the center of his eyebrows, sending out the snake of consciousness.
I originally wanted to take it back to the palace and try it on Tianwen Jian.
Since one of them had undergone a strange change, Huo Qubing was afraid that the other one would also undergo the same change, so he immediately killed him. While his thoughts were still conscious, he used Soaring Snake to see if he could find any gains.
After a while, Huo Qubing withdrew his hand, his face calm, and it was unclear whether he had gained anything.
As for the dead old man, his body was shriveled up, as if he had been left to dry for decades in a dry environment, making him look weird and evil.
This change was too sudden, and the flame seemed to be induced from within his body.
You must know that everyone in the secret investigation is a veteran. After the two were captured, they were prepared to hang themselves. Not only were their whole bodies searched, but the power within their bodies was also imprisoned by relevant means. Unexpectedly, this old man was still dead!
Did he feel that there was no hope of survival, so he committed suicide or was he silenced?
Everyone couldn't help but quiet down and looked at each other.
On the way back to the Chang'an Guards Command Camp, Huo Qubing sat thoughtfully in the carriage.
There were also Qin Qingyu and Liu Qing in the car.
The two of them were riding in the car, but Qin Qingyu invited Huo Qubing to come up: "Does Huo Hou think the one who died just now was someone secretly?"
"no."
Huo Qubing asked: "How many slips are there in the Taoist bamboo scroll?"
Qin Qingyu already understood what he meant: "There are fifty pieces in total, and this is one of them.
I didn't expect that he would take apart Daozu Jian and have the ability to do it.
What you mean is that this is just a simple piece that I found, and there are forty-nine pieces that are still in the hands of the secret person. "
Qin Qingyu continued: "I also feel that although the person captured tonight is very skilled, he is still not up to the level of the secret man.
So, what we encountered tonight, is it possible that the other party set up a trap to lure us here? "
Huo Qubing: "It doesn't look like the other party's reaction or the layout of the hospital was deliberately setting up a trap.
It doesn't seem like we have another purpose in transferring us. "
The ambush just now was more like the other party's oversight and accident.
Huo Qubing judged that the other party probably didn't know that Qin Qingyu was in Chang'an and accidentally leaked Taoist Jian's aura, and he didn't expect that someone would come to his door immediately.
So what changes will the killing of these two people bring to each other?
Will there be any other news in the future?
Based on the skills of the two people who were captured, they must not be small figures, and their identities may be very important.
Huo Qubing had already found some clues in another person's consciousness.
Including the usage of the bamboo slips found on them, which can be used to contact friends, and writing can spread the news...
Ps: There should still be an additional update today, but it may be two in one. If it is a big chapter, it will be released in the early morning. If it is updated in the evening, it will be divided into two chapters.
