In the following period, Zhao Changqi noticed that Coach Cai was obviously the nominal leader of the men in black, but he showed respect and obeyed the monk who held the talisman.
It was as if that ordinary-looking guy was the real leader.
"There seems to be a problem over there." Suddenly, the monk holding the talisman pointed to a rockery in the courtyard.
Zhao Changqi's heart trembled.
Because his shady secret room is located directly under the rockery.
But his expression remained calm and calm, showing nothing unusual.
He has enough confidence in the formation of the secret room, and it is definitely not something that cats and dogs can easily crack.
Then, the monk in black walked towards the rockery and laid out a stack of talismans in his hand in an orderly circle on the ground, faintly forming a new formation.
Then the monk began to mutter a mantra.
At this moment, every talisman on the ground glowed with silvery white light, and then the light merged into one, which was particularly dazzling.
Before Zhao Changqi could react, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and obvious cracks appeared one after another.
This sudden change made Zhao Changqi almost unable to stand still.
"What are you doing?" He pointed at the monk and shouted, with obvious anger on his brows, "The king just sent you here to investigate, not to demolish my house!
"The rockery in my house is made of Zhenze stones shipped from Huizhou Prefecture in the south. The trees in my house are also golden nanmu brought from the southwest of the wilderness. It is not something you can afford to pay for!"
But the monk in black ignored him and continued to cast spells on his own.
Zhao Changqi didn't understand the way of the talisman formation, nor could he understand what he was reading.
But an ominous premonition arose in his heart - if the monk in black was allowed to finish reciting this incantation, the consequences would be disastrous.
So he waved his hand and summoned his natal creature——
An ax with a fiery red color, like a solidified magma.
This ax is called "Tonghua Ax", which can attach the power of fire to his attacks, greatly increasing the power.
Without saying a word, he swung his ax and struck hard at the monk in black.
The monk in black did not dodge or evade, standing still like a wooden man, as if he was not aware of the coming crisis at all.
The sharp edge of the ax struck his head instantly.
But the strange thing is that Zhao Changqi didn't feel the resistance of the ax blade penetrating into flesh and bones, but it seemed like it penetrated a thin piece of paper.
Then he was surprised to see that the black-clothed monk's body quickly deflated like a deflated ball.
The flames burned through him, turning him into black cinders.
It turns out that this is just a paper man!
At the same time, another attendant in black took over the work of his dead companion expressionlessly, and continued to recite the unfinished incantation in a mechanical and cold voice.
Seeing this strange scene, Zhao Changqi took a deep breath and frowned tightly.
He realized that he had underestimated his opponent's strength.
The enemy who was lurking in the dark and intended to target him had far more powerful means than he imagined, and was even more difficult to defend against.
As a sixth-level monk, he didn't realize at all that the group of men brought by Coach Cai were all lifeless paper puppets!
"Zhao Yu, stop relying on women and come over quickly to help!"
He shouted toward the house next to him while continuing to swing the flaming ax at the remaining black-clothed monks.
He must destroy all these paper figures before they finish chanting the spell.
Coach Cai stood aside, watching Zhao Changqi fight with the paper people, his eyes calm, and he had no intention of helping any of them.
As Zhao Changying's loyal subordinate and Zhao Yan's most trusted teacher, his identity today is a witness and a law enforcer.
From the bottom of his heart, he hoped to see the Dayan royal family living in harmony and unity, and was not willing to accept the fact that his uncle and nephew turned against each other.
Zhao Yan knew what he was thinking, so she only assigned him the task of "protecting Gu Xu's life and safety". He would only need to take action after Gu Xu found conclusive evidence.
…………
A few seconds later, Zhao Changqi and Zhao Yu and his son joined forces and killed all the paper people in the yard.
Zhao Yu was fighting with several women on the bed just now.
He originally thought that today's investigation was just a trivial matter and could be easily solved by relying on his father's strength.
So he didn't care and continued to play and sing every night as before.
I didn't expect that my father would be dealing with it in such an awkward manner.
He had to run out disheveled - his hair was messy, his belt was untied, he was wearing a pair of mismatched shoes, and there was still a faint flush on his face.
After successfully blocking the paper people's spell, Zhao Changqi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Coach Cai next to him: "I need you to give me an explanation.
"In my impression, there are no monks who are good at using talisman formations and puppetry in my niece's personal guard. I am very curious as to why you let a non-staff member sneak into your team and let him roam around my courtyard unscrupulously. To cause destruction?"
Coach Cai said nothing.
He just turned his head and looked in the direction where the rockery was just now, with a strange look in his eyes.
Zhao Changqi also followed his gaze and looked over.
Even if he is a person who usually keeps his emotions and anger secretive, at this moment, he can't help but widen his eyes in surprise——
The rockery in his courtyard disappeared without knowing when.
Instead, there were several rows of bookshelves filled with documents, a wooden table, and two carved Taishi chairs. There was a half-burnt candle on the table.
——Exactly the furnishings in Zhao Changqi’s secret room!
He never imagined that the enemy would have such a method. Not only did he destroy the formation of his secret room, but he also silently exchanged the space of his underground secret room with the rockery in the courtyard!
A real fear emerged in Zhao Changqi's heart.
He thought about it again and again, but he really couldn't think of any practitioner who not only had master-level attainments in talisman formations, but could also apply the laws of space to a level of proficiency.
He even suspected that this was a certain strong saint from Daqi who was lurking in Luojing City and wanted to kill him quietly.
But at this moment, a familiar voice floated into his ears:
"General Zhao, actually I really don't want to meet you in this way, let alone have any enmity with you. However, you poisoned the tea and secretly sent someone to kill me. You have to give me a reasonable explanation, right? "
"Gu Xu?"
"it's me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man appeared on the Taishi chair beside the table.
He was wearing a green shirt, without a mask, with a faint smile on his face, and a piece of letter paper in his hand. He looked gentle, elegant, and handsome.
Just now he used the illusion talisman to hide his figure.
Now after Zhao Changqi called out his name, he removed the spell and revealed his true body.
"By the way, General Zhao," Gu Xu paused, pointed to the letter in his hand, and then said, "Why is there a letter addressed to Princess Zhaoning of Daqi in your house?"
