Huo Qubing's thoughts did not need to be controlled deliberately. They were already spreading like a tide, allowing him to gain insight into the goings-on inside and outside the mansion.
His consciousness accurately captured the infiltrator's position.
In perception, an unprecedented scene is also presented.
After practicing for a long time, Huo Qubing could clearly feel his own transformation.
He is constantly approaching a certain supreme level that is mysterious and mysterious, which the world calls 'holy'.
In his perception, space appears in another way, 'flowing' slowly like water.
Space is not static.
After the last practice, I had seen the distortion-like changes in space, and it appeared in my perception again.
Huo Qubing's consciousness blended with the void, and the power in his body naturally flowed, absorbing energy from the heaven and earth.
On the outer wall of the Hou Mansion, a figure quietly jumped into the house. As fast as the blue smoke, it began to go deep into the house.
But the moment it fell into the house, formation patterns appeared on the ground at the same time, and the tiger roared suddenly.
The figure touched the ground with both feet and suddenly floated to the top of a building in the mansion. However, he saw a sculpture of an auspicious beast coming to life at the corner of the eaves, turning into a tiger.
The tiger was blocking the eaves where it ascended and settled, facing the sneaking people face to face, staring with big eyes.
The next moment, the figure felt like the world was spinning. He lowered his head and saw formations intertwining under his feet, and he pounced on another tiger.
Then a second one, a third one... a total of five tigers appeared in the formation, guarding the five directions, suppressing them until there was no room for them to dodge.
Is the Champion House a tiger's den?
The eaves it was originally on have also disappeared, and there are many illusions around it.
The infiltrator found that he had been pushed back to the ground at some point, and the process of taking off just now was like an illusory dream.
The defense layout in the Champion's Mansion was even topsy-turvy. Intruders thought they were going deeper, but in fact they could only circle around the outer wall.
Not far away, the imperial soldiers on duty in the mansion were approaching quickly with clanging armor.
"Where did this stupid thief come from?"
Tao Zun's voice came from the air: "The Hou Mansion's tiger's lair defense array should be used once."
At this time, the stupid thief took out a jade card in his hand and stammered: "Huo Hou and I know each other, and I came to the house to report the news."
The jade plaque in the stupid thief's hand was given to Bai Nanyu by Huo Qubing.
Bai Nanyu gave it to the matryoshka ghost warrior under his command.
So this stupid thief is a matryoshka doll?
"Come to report the news and come in over the wall in the middle of the night?"
"The sect leader asked me to deliver the news, so I came in quickly thinking I was going to find the Marquis..." The matryoshka ghost trembled.
She originally wanted to rely on the Hundred Ghost Night Walking Technique to enter the Hou Mansion directly, which would be the fastest.
Unexpectedly, there are countless tricks and traps in this Hou Mansion, making it difficult to move even an inch.
The Yin Qi covering the body of the matryoshka ghost warrior was removed by the array in the palace, and the face appeared clearly. She was a woman in her twenties, with a petite body, a pale complexion, and only a little blood on her lips. She stood lightly and her feet did not touch the ground. That.
Huo Qubing remembered that Bai Nanyu said that the ghost warriors under his command were not very smart.
"What news did Bai Nanyu ask you to deliver?" Huo Qubing's voice came from the distance.
"Tonight, something happened in the Zhuo Mansion. Zhuo Huai, the head of the Zhuo family, was kidnapped late at night for unknown reasons. The sect master followed her after she found out. She was afraid that something else might happen, so she asked me to inform the Marquis of the news." Said the matryoshka ghost scholar.
Zhuo Huai was kidnapped?
What is the use of tying Zhuo Huai?
Huo Qubing's thoughts came to his mind and he sent a message asking the Imperial Army to retreat.
Several tigers that appeared in the tiger den picture also retracted into their dens and disappeared without a trace.
The matryoshka ghost warrior immediately felt a force coming from the void beside him. She was swept away by the force involuntarily, and landed in a palace in a blink of an eye.
Huo Qubing was wearing a robe and was sitting in the palace. A maid on duty at night was making tea for him.
Cao Qiao was also led into the palace from outside the door and said with a salute: "Master Hou."
"Did you also find the embroidered clothes?"
"Yes, it's a bit urgent. Unless the Marquis takes action, otherwise I wouldn't dare to disturb the Marquis late at night."
Cao Qiao seemed a little excited: "We found some clues about Ru Yinhou."
Huo Qubing and Ru Bohu had always been suspicious of Ruyinhou Xiahou.
If it weren't for his sensitive status, that he was Princess Pingyang's husband, and that he had made great contributions to the founding of the country, he would have been arrested and tortured for questioning.
I had previously suspected that Xiahou Po was a great master.
However, the great master was killed by Huo Qubing, and Xiahou Po was still there, which seemed to clear his suspicion.
However, Huo Qubing and Ru Bohu were not less suspicious of him.
Ru Bohu secretly investigated, not loosening but tightening, and the power of embroidered clothes pursued him.
Ruyinhou's fiefdom, and even the counties surrounding his fiefdom, are all within the scope of a thorough investigation.
What Cao Qiao brought was the harvest after a thorough investigation.
"We found a clue in the surrounding counties of Xiahou Po's fiefdom that seemed a bit strange at first, but later we contacted Ruyin Hou.
In several surrounding counties and counties, in the past few years, women have sought medical treatment intermittently, saying that they often have strange dreams late at night. In their dreams... they are having fun with others, and they stay together all night long. This continued for many days, leaving these women mentally exhausted.
If it weren't for the fact that some people's condition gradually became serious, these women would not want to seek medical treatment because of their appearance. "
Huo Qubing was stunned. Does this mean that many women will have the same erotic dream?
This clue is indeed bizarre.
I woke up at dawn and was raped in my dream.
"What these women have in common is that they are young and beautiful, and they are all famous and beautiful women in their neighborhood."
Cao Qiao said: "We found this clue in the counties near Ruyinhou's fiefdom, but we did not think of Ruyinhou."
"Later I discovered that in the early years of Ruyinhou Mansion, a maidservant went home to visit her relatives, and she vaguely mentioned it to her family that she had had a similar dream.
It took us so long to find some solid evidence.
After verification and comparison, it was found that seven maidservants disappeared in Ruyinhou Mansion in the early years. The family members of two families were interviewed by us and mentioned that they had had that kind of dream when the missing woman went home to visit relatives. "
The matryoshka ghost man was listening on the side, blinking his eyes and thinking hard.
She didn't hear any inevitable connection between the two things Cao Qi said. Since many people have had this kind of dream, and a woman from the Hou family has had it, it is not enough to cast doubt on Marquis Ruyin.
Huo Qubing understood it, and said in a deep voice: "Based on these clues, Xiuyi Ling suspected that the inner connection between the two incidents was Marquis Ruyin.
Is he practicing some kind of evil magic technique in which he acts as a groom in dreams every night?
The traces of the maidservants in his house in the early years were left behind because his cultivation was still shallow and he could only eat grass from the side of his nest. After his practice became more advanced, he became more secretive and cautious, using methods such as soul travel to go to surrounding counties and counties to continue dreaming about other women? "
"right."
Cao Qiao looked a little weird and said: "He stole hundreds of beautiful women in his dreams.
If this technique does not harm others but benefits oneself, then...it's not too evil. "
This tone... seems a bit envious.
"What is his fundamental purpose in doing this?"
"This is still uncertain. There are some witchcraft. It is believed that the soul of an unmarried woman is pure. If you want to seize some power from her soul, you can pursue immortality.
Xiu Yiling consulted some files and said that he had practiced similar practices in his early years. He stole a woman's Yuan Yin in a dream and practiced the art of Yin Soul and Yang Soul, which caused endless harm. It should be a similar method.
Xiu Yiling personally analyzed and summarized the news and said that the matter was related to Marquis Ruyin.
He had sex with the woman in his dream and collected her soul. The specific purpose is not yet known, but many people died because of it. "
Ru Bohu's meaning was very clear. When this happened, it was an explanation to His Majesty and the clan. Based on this, Marquis Ruyin could be arrested and more problems would be unearthed.
Huo Qubing said: "Marquis Ruyin is in Pingyang Marquis Mansion at the moment?
Have you seen the situation in the Hou Mansion? "
Cao Qiao said calmly: "I went there last time and was demoted one level. I don't dare to go again this time."
Last time, Huo Qubing asked Cao Qiao to investigate the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. This time, he could not be allowed to take the blame and continue to investigate the Marquis Mansion.
Cao Qiao came over, obviously because he was afraid of long nights and many dreams, and wanted Huo Qubing to go to the Hou Mansion to fetch Marquis Ruyin in person, because he was worried that he would escape.
"Let's go take a look."
"Master Marquis, what's going on in the Zhuo Mansion?" asked the matryoshka ghost scholar.
"Go and capture Marquis Ruyin first."
In the early morning, the sky is bright.
Pingyang Houfu is also in the south of the city, not far from the Champion Houfu.
Huo Qubing's man with embroidered clothes, Cao Qiao, together with some elite soldiers, sealed off the surrounding area of Pingyang Hou Mansion after their arrival.
Huo Qubing personally led the people and climbed over the wall directly into the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
He went in secretly instead of leading troops to push forward, because he didn't want to disturb too much and give the other party a chance to react and escape.
Huo Qubing came in person, which gave Cao Qiao and others great confidence.
After entering the mansion, they dispersed and quickly advanced towards the center of the mansion.
Pingyang Marquis Mansion is also the residence of the founder of the country. Princess Pingyang also lives there, and there are also defensive arrangements to suppress the mansion.
But Huo Qubing came in and the formations spread under his feet.
With his status as Lang Zhongling, a hundred thousand soldiers of the Imperial Guard joined forces and instantly suppressed the defense system of Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
The group quickly went deep.
In the back hall of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, the attendants standing at the door were shocked to see a line of embroidered clothes and Huo Qubing appear.
Standing outside the door was Princess Pingyang's personal maid.
She recognized Huo Qubing and asked in surprise: "Marquis Champion, you dare to break into the princess's mansion without permission. What are you doing?"
"Is Marquis Ruyin in the house?" Huo Qubing asked.
"Of course."
The maid frowned: "Are you looking for Mr. Hou?"
Huo Qubing glanced at the sleeping palace behind him. In the night, the lamps were lit, and he could feel that Princess Pingyang and Marquis Ruyin were in the palace.
The waitress's face changed slightly, and she realized that the matter was not simple, otherwise Huo Qubing would not have come to the door in this way late at night.
She turned around and entered the bedroom.
After a while, the sound of getting up came from the dormitory.
The palace door opened, and Princess Pingyang walked out of the palace with a solemn face, a coat draped over her shoulders, and her hair hanging down. She looked at Huo Qubing with an evil look on her face: "What are you doing here?"
"Come to see Marquis Ruyin!" Huo Qubing said.
"You come to him and you dare to bring people into my mansion late at night?" Princess Pingyang said: "This is not the first time, you are so presumptuous."
Huo Qubing: "He is probably practicing evil arts in the fiefdom.
In addition, Princess, the Marquis Ruyin in your residence may...not be the Marquis Ruyin anymore. "
Princess Pingyang said angrily: "If you want to throw dirty water on me and the Marquis, don't even think about it.
I have been married to him for many years, how could I not know his identity? It is a grave sin for you to frame the clan with your nonsense. "
Princess Pingyang breathed a sigh of relief: "Huo Qubing, you have forgotten that you are also from my family."
Huo Qubing said: "I didn't bring the imperial army here just to save face for the princess. Otherwise, the fact that the princess' husband-in-law, Marquis Ruyin, practices sorcery would spread throughout Chang'an tomorrow and everyone would know about it."
"Are you threatening me?" Princess Pingyang said solemnly.
At this time, there was movement in the back hall, and a tall man with a thin and straight nose, calm eyes, and a short beard on his face, wearing a white tunic, with a tuft of black hair faintly exposed on his chest, walked out of the hall.
He glanced at Huo Qubing and others and asked Princess Pingyang: "What's the matter?"
Princess Pingyang snorted: "They said you were practicing evil magic in the fiefdom and wanted to come and question you."
Xia Hou looked at Huo Qubing calmly and said with a faint smile:
"I didn't expect the champion to be so worried about my affairs and still remember the changes in my fiefdom."
Xia Houpo's expression and sarcastic tone made Huo Qubing feel that something was not right.
There is also a slight feeling of heart palpitations, which inexplicably appears in my consciousness!
Suddenly, Huo Qubing took a step, and the entire ground of the Hou Mansion exploded, like thunder falling from the sky.
He chose to take action without hesitation, stretched out a finger and pointed it at the center of Ru Yinhou's eyebrows.
Ps: Don’t worry, this part and the previous one are internally connected~
