"What was found? Tell me."
Yang He raised his hand and leaned forward slightly, signaling his disciple to continue.
"Back to Master, this time I planned to secretly arrest the villagers in the village for questioning, but I found some unknown monks guarding there, seeming to be staring at the villagers. The disciple is worried that something has happened, so Don’t dare to alert the enemy.”
"A monk with an unknown identity?" Yang Heben frowned again. He knew that Anhuai Gate was nearby. Was he a monk from Anhuai Gate? He can't be a monk from the Li family, right?
"How many people are they? What is their cultivation level?" He asked: "Do the villagers know?"
"Not many, we found three people. Their cultivation is not outstanding, and there are no late-stage Qi-training monks." The middle-aged disciple replied: "They are also watching in secret. It seems they don't want mortals to find out."
"Very good." Yang He praised, then twirled his beard and started thinking.
No matter who those people are, they always know something. It would be too slow to slowly figure out their identities. We don’t know how long it will take to delay them. It is better to arrest the people directly. No matter what happens, we can give them to them. Yu Zihua gave an explanation.
"Ren Ming and the others should return to the sect in a while. You should keep an eye on those monks first and don't try to scare them. When Ren Ming and the others come back, ask him to work with you to capture those people." He ordered: "By the way, grab a few mortals from the village and bring them for interrogation. If there are any results, report them to me immediately."
The people Yang He mentioned were all his close associates. As his disciple, the middle-aged monk naturally knew him, so he nodded and agreed: "Disciple understands."
…
In April, the friction between the Xuantian Sword Sect and the Suppressing Beast Sect at the border between Fengzhou and Ningzhou came to an end. After receiving the news, many small-power monks under the two families breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, as the saying goes, when two big shots fight, the little guy in the middle often dies first. If the conflict between these two behemoths really escalates, the first ones to suffer will definitely be the small forces in Ningzhou and Fengzhou. It's finally good now. No matter what agreement is reached between the two families, it is a good thing to solve the problem.
But just when the conflict was resolved and many monks from Ningzhou and Fengzhou breathed a sigh of relief, one person was so anxious that he almost went crazy.
"Abducted by the monks from the Ghost Sect?"
When Zuo Shao got the news, he was stunned. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and palms. He had reported to Zuo Ni some time ago that everything was normal, but he didn't expect to learn that something had happened as soon as he came back.
He took a few breaths, forced himself to calm down, and asked, "When did it happen?"
"It was four days ago." The young monk in front of him quickly replied: "I was going to change shifts at the time, and I happened to see Senior Brother Fang and the others being caught. The Ghost Controlling Sect monks were in a hurry to leave, so they didn't notice me."
After hearing this, Zuo Shao swallowed and glanced at the young monk. This was his fellow disciple. He had been helped and raised by him since he started. He had an honest personality and was unlikely to tell lies. That's it. , those monks from the Ghost Control Sect must have discovered something, so they took action so suddenly and arrested all the people he arranged.
The scene when Zuo Ni ordered him to keep an eye on the villagers of Wangjia Village flashed through his mind. Thinking of Zuo Ni, Zuo Shao suddenly felt excited. No matter what, he had to find a way to notify his adoptive father first.
"Four days...four days..."
He murmured unconsciously, four days ago... Calculated as five days, given the distance between the Ghost Control Gate and here, the group of monks would not be able to reach the Ghost Control Gate even if they stayed awake!
Thinking of this, Zuo Shao breathed out and felt a little more energetic, but then he had a headache again. He didn't have any way to quickly deliver the news. Should he go to Yugui Gate now? Even if you don’t want to, you know it won’t work. If you leave later than the other party, you will definitely arrive later than the other person. Furthermore, you are not a disciple of the Ghost Control Sect. How can you meet an elder of the Ghost Control Sect so easily?
"Brother, what should we do now?"
The junior brother beside Zuo Shao couldn't help but asked cautiously when he saw that he hadn't moved for a long time. Zuo Shao frowned and glanced at him. He was about to scold him, but suddenly thought of something and slapped his head. Yes, contact him yourself. If you can't, it doesn't mean that the Zuo family relatives in the sect can't be contacted. Wouldn't it be better to let them contact them?
He didn't believe that Zuo Ni would not leave any emergency supplies for his relatives.
"Don't worry, I already have a countermeasure. You can go ahead. I'll look for you if anything happens."
After knowing what to do, Zuo Shao calmed down a lot. He waved his hand to his junior brother to step aside. He changed his surname and made Zuo Ni his adopted father in private, so there was no need to let him know about these things.
"Huh? It's..."
Although the young monk was a little surprised, he didn't think much about it and nodded.
Seeing his junior brother leaving, Zuo Shao didn't dare to delay and quickly got up to look for Zuo Yuanyuan. Although she was a woman, she did things neatly and orderly. If Zuo Ni really left any way to contact him quickly, it must be in Zuo Ni. Round body.
"What's wrong? You come looking for me so suddenly?"
Faced with Zuo Shao's sudden arrival, Zuo Yuanyuan seemed a little surprised. Although Zuo Ni had said that he would betroth her to him, and she was quite satisfied with Zuo Shao, at least for now, the relationship between the two parties has not yet reached an open level. To that extent, to come here so suddenly, could something have happened?
"The matter between father and Senior Li from the south may have been exposed." Zuo Shao affirmed her suspicion: "The people I sent to keep an eye on the villagers in Wangjia Village were captured by the monks from the Ghost Sect. Junior sister, do you have anyone here? What's a quick way to contact my father? This matter is of great importance and we must report it to him immediately."
Zuo Yuanyuan was indeed shocked when she first heard Zuo Shao's words, but she was worthy of being Zuo Ni's favorite person. She quickly calmed down, glanced at Zuo Shao, and asked: "Senior brother, when did this happen?" thing?"
"Four days ago." Zuo Shao felt her glance and understood what the other party was thinking, so he added: "This is what one of my junior brothers reported to me. He has an honest temper and what he said should be true. Junior sister If you are worried, you can call him and ask."
As he spoke, he handed the rice paper he was holding tightly in his hand to the other party. This was the general situation he had just written. Zuo Yuanyuan reached out to take it, scanned it up and down, and glanced at Zuo Shao, her eyes flashing. He moved for a moment, shook his head and said, "No need, I trust senior brother's judgment."
Zuo Shao was discovered by Zuo Ni. Before that, he could only be regarded as a low-level member of Anhuai Sect, let alone have anything to do with her. Therefore, Zuo Yuanyuan did not think that the other party was lying, although she also She could choose to continue to investigate, but she didn't dare to gamble. If something happened, she couldn't delay it.
She nodded again and continued: "I do have the method that my senior brother said. If it only takes four days, it's not too late."
"That would be great!"
Zuo Shao was overjoyed and couldn't help but clapped his hands. He felt that the pressure all over his body was relieved a lot. He knew that Zuo Ni was his only supporter. If something happened to Zuo Ni, he would definitely not be able to get away with it.
After cupping his hands, Zuo Shao didn't ask what method it was, and just said: "Junior sister, feel free to do whatever you want, I'll go first. If anything happens, you can find me anytime."
Zuo Yuanyuan nodded in agreement: "Okay, senior brother, go on your own."
