This is a middle-aged man with a skeletal figure and a messy beard and hair. His face is covered with wrinkles and spots that are like premature aging. It is hard to imagine that this is a powerful supervisor of Xijing/Prince Zheng’s palace who has served as a minister. He is the secretary/general secretary of the office and is a suave literary person.
He was tied and sat on a rough wooden chair, his motionless head tilted to one side; if it weren't for the vague rise and fall of his chest, he would have almost thought he died just like that. Looking carefully, he was unconscious, with saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth, and the blood scabs on his face were dry and hard and black.
Jiang Tian just thought for a moment, and a yellow crystal appeared out of thin air in his hand; he then placed it close to the opponent's forehead. The next moment, some fragmented scenes and memory fragments flashed before Jiang Tian's eyes; at the same time, the other person's closed eyeballs started to rotate violently.
Yes, this is the new module "Transmission/Induction" that Jiang Tian unlocked after completing the scene mission "Glory of the Eagle" in another world. The former can consume energy to conduct teleportation-style remote communication with objects that have been marked in advance in the same world.
The latter uses close contact and consumes energy to forcibly sense the ongoing thoughts and superficial memory fragments of strange individuals; this was originally a relatively useless ability. But coupled with this spirit crystal from the small pool in the mine, the ability to enter dreams is different.
As for Cai Rong, as the chief secretary of Prince Zheng’s Palace Record Office/Xijing Supervisor, even some memory fragments from the past are enough to reveal enough useful information and clues; it’s a pity that this method is a one-time use, and it will cause no harm to the person involved. It is also completely irreversible and repairable.
Therefore, Jiang Tian came out again after a while; and the middle-aged man who was originally tied to the wooden chair was already incontinent and had tears streaming down his face, looking like a broken man. Then Jiang Tian said flatly: "Send the order to quickly dispatch the laymen who are staying at the headquarters and the Shayuan camp."
According to the current structure of the Rikogyuan, there are five battalions (800-900 per battalion) belonging to the operational troops/lay troops. However, due to political considerations, there is only one battalion permanently stationed in the underground headquarters in the capital. The other is the Shayuan Prison as a training base and a battalion as a reserve force.
In addition, the other three fully loaded supernumerary battalions are stationed at Xiaoguan, Wuguan and Dashanguan in the four fortresses of the pass to provide immediate support to the six direct-affiliated battalions of Fengxiang, Xingyuan, Chengdu, Hezhong and Jiangling. The government's mobile power. They will be rotated back to the headquarters for supplementary repairs every six months.
Therefore, following Jiang Tian's order, several teams of men and horses, fully clothed and equipped with vehicle-mounted equipment, almost immediately rushed out of the temple at the exit of the city; rushing into the wilderness in different directions. Their mission is to go to various counties in Gyeonggi Province and search for secret strongholds in their memories.
And wait for opportunities to capture and suppress any resistance forces that may exist among them. As for the most important goal in the memory fragments of Cai Rong in the Record Office, Jiang Tian himself led the team to execute it. Then a team (30 people) of lay sergeants and ten directly subordinate team members gathered in front of Jiang Tian.
Led by Lin Shunyi, one of the four great followers, Jiang Tian galloped out with his horse and whip behind him. After running all the way for several hours, we arrived at the Wangchuan area in the southwest of Lantian County, Gyeonggi Province, near Mount Aoshan; this is also a scenic spot with many noble manors and amusement parks in the capital.
Therefore, while walking on the Lantian Ancient Road leading to Dachangguan in the south, there are prosperous Guanyi and towns on both sides, as well as private gardens and walls of three-mile pavilions and ten-mile villas. The business travelers, travelers, mules, horses, and porters who came and went in a steady stream seemed not to be affected by the changes in weather at all.
Only when you get a little closer to some of the villas and gardens, you will find the depression and emptiness of the closed doors and overgrown vegetation. It seems that the owner has not been here for a long time and lacks timely repairs and maintenance. There are signs of peeling and cracking on the wall.
There is no doubt that this kind of place, which is far away from the city and close to the mainland, but has been vacant for a long time, can easily become a place for hiding evil in private, or harboring lawlessness. But the target of this operation was not these other industries; soon, a Taoist temple with a simple shape appeared in front.
Shangshan Temple is the name of this Taoist temple; it is named after the four hermits of Shangshan who lived in seclusion in Shangshan in the late Qin Dynasty and later came out to assist Liu Ying, the prince of the Han Dynasty. Li Bai also wrote a special "Shangshan Four Hao" poem to praise. The contemporary viewer is even more of a prominent figure.
This person's Taoist name was Miaozhenzi, who was ranked in the seventh and fifteenth rank of the Taoist sect designated by the Tang Dynasty. He was the sixth-level Dongzhen Master who was bestowed with purple gauze. He was also the temple master of the upper third rank of the palace who was supported by the clan (the Tang Dynasty had long regarded Taoism as the state religion, so Almost all Taoist temples in the world are places built by imperial decree or government officials).
But among the few memory fragments of Cai Rong in the recording room, he also has another secret identity. It was Prince Zheng/one of the two secret agents who guarded His Highness's personal affairs. He controlled the gray channels of the three religions and nine streams; he had already escaped the previous series of investigations and liquidations.
Just as the cavalry rushed to the stone sign in front of the Shangshan Temple, two Muslim disciples with flat crowns and yellow hats also ran out of the door. They immediately shouted loudly: "Who is coming? Don't you know that this is the imperial palace?" In this pure place, shouldn’t we make rude noises and make collisions?”
Then, their shouting suddenly stopped; the two expert mobile/direct team members who dismounted first slashed at the back of the neck with their hands almost at the same time. Immediately afterwards, the remaining eight mobile team members formed two lines without hesitation, riding their horses and rushing into the open gate of Shangshan View.
In an instant, several obstacles were knocked down, and they were trampled and trampled in all directions, causing screams and screams. At the same time, a whole team of dismounted lay sergeants also launched three fires; one fire surrounded both sides of the outer wall to search, blockade, and guard possible exits.
First Fire rushed into it with a knife and shield on his back, and First Fire held fire blunderbuss and hand crossbows, and followed closely behind to cover him. Therefore, when Jiang Tian finally stepped into it, more than a dozen people were already lying down in various directions. Taoist priests, and beside the courtyard wall, were a group of pyrotechnics servants who were imprisoned and kneeling.
Shangshan Temple occupies a large area, but its architectural layout is a typical central axis formed by Shangqing, Haotian, Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan, four courtyards, four halls and their left and right side rooms. Therefore, searching and suppressing the past in sequence is almost overwhelming, although there are occasional conflicts and resistance that are extinguished in a flash.
However, the next moment, when they entered the third hall of Emperor Xuanyuan, which was dedicated to Lao Tzu, the entire door panel and window panes suddenly exploded. The three direct team members who broke in first also flew out with a groan and fell to the ground. On the ground, after getting up again, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
His complexion was sluggish and weak, and he had obviously suffered internal injuries from a precise blunt blow. Just as they were being supported by their companions and began to surround them on both sides, the lights were swaying, and in the magnificent hall, firelight and thick smoke were rising vaguely from the overturned candles.
"The old cows in there have such a bad nose. A certain family was knocked out without even seeing their faces." One of the team members touched the bloody corner of his mouth and hissed: before he finished speaking, A fierce banging sound was heard, and a big hole suddenly opened on the top of the hall.
A figure with a purple-brown black crown soared into the sky like a big bird; it was hit by a series of fire cannons and hand crossbows below; it almost flashed left and right, waving its sleeves to swat away the crossbow bolts, Even if he was hit several times by the whizzing projectiles, he seemed to be able to escape in an instant without any impact.
However, the next moment, the man with the purple-brown black crown found that there was another person in front of him. Jiang Tian waved his hand lightly at him; the purple-brown Xuanguan man was like a mosquito that was swatted in the air, flew back with a groan, crashed through the burning hall and screamed.
Some of the comrades in the apse rushed out without realizing it at this time, holding swords and trying to protect the man; but they were fired again with fire muskets and hand crossbows, and they were beaten with screams and death and injury all over the place. The remaining soldiers were knocked down, overthrown and hacked to the ground by soldiers wearing armor and holding shields and swords.
At this time, the fireworks in the palace were getting smaller and smaller, and they were completely out of control. Only someone from a distance came to believe it, but it was a small team under the banner of road guards. However, after they saw the tragic situation of Shangshan Temple from a distance, they attacked and killed them without hesitation...
At this time, Jiang Tian also broke open the collapsed beam, and forcibly took out the suspected target that had fallen into the fire scene without making a sound and was burned to death.
