"Huh?"
Ye Zhiqiu's weird reaction aroused Qin Shaoyou's suspicion and vigilance.
He gestured impatiently.
This gesture is invisible to outsiders, but in the eyes of Zhu Xiucai and Cui Youwei, they understand it instantly.
This is to remind them to be secretly prepared.
At the same time, Qin Shaoyou also activated the three talents of [Bright Eyesight], [Listening] and [Miao Nose].
While quietly observing Ye Zhiqiu and Cen Biqing, he pricked up his ears and wanted to find out what was going on in Shuanggui Village, which had been transformed into a military village.
However, in Shuanggui Village, there should be some kind of magic circle or supernatural object arranged to prevent the sound from spreading outward.
Even if Qin Shaoyou used [Listening], he couldn't hear anything.
Under the observation of [Mingmu] and [Miaobi], Ye Zhiqiu and Cen Biqing also showed no abnormality.
You can be sure that they are not ghosts or pretenders.
So Qin Shaoyou became even more curious, why did Ye Zhiqiu drive him away as soon as he saw him?
It's not like Cui Yougui, he has no grudge against Ye Zhiqiu.
With a roll of his eyes, Qin Shaoyou made another hidden gesture, asking his night watchmen to be calm but not to relax their vigilance.
At the same time, he said with a smile: "You let me go, but I refused to leave. Where is Mr. Qianhu? I have official business to report to him."
Ye Zhiqiu sighed, shook his head and said, "Master Qianhu is really right... I don't know how he understands you so well. Is it true that you are all the same kind of people as he said?"
What does this mean?
What kind of people are Zuo Qianhu and I?
Qin Shaoyou was a little confused, and when he was about to ask, Ye Zhiqiu said again: "Since you refuse to leave, then follow me into the stronghold. It is not a place to talk outside. If anything happens, we will talk about it after we enter the stronghold."
"Okay." Qin Shaoyou nodded and responded.
He temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, took the waist tag returned by Ye Zhiqiu, and led the horse into Shuanggui Army Village with Cui Yougui, Zhu Xiucai and others.
After passing through the village gate, the scene in front of me changed.
It turns out that the scenes I saw outside the military camp were all illusions.
Behind the military stronghold is a high wall made of mud. There are mysterious runes on the wall that shine brightly in the sun.
If anyone tries to spy outside the camp, what they see will only be an illusion.
Even if he had the ability to see through the illusion, his sight would be blocked by this tall mud wall and he would not be able to see the real situation in the camp.
After bypassing the high wall from the side, everyone finally entered the Shuanggui Army Stronghold.
Cui Yougui, Zhu Xiucai and others who had been here before showed surprise when they saw the situation in the village.
In just one month, this place has completely changed.
Inside the stockade, the original residential buildings were demolished and converted into barracks.
In the area centered on the Dragon King Temple, a large deep pit was dug.
Zhu Xiucai was surprised, so he leaned into Qin Shaoyou's ear and whispered: "Sir, is this deep pit dug into an underground cave?"
Qin Shaoyou thinks so too.
He asked Ye Zhiqiu on the side: "Are you planning to dig out the Fuso Ghost Tree from the ground with such a big battle?"
"It has been dug out and taken away." Ye Zhiqiu replied.
He knew that Qin Shaoyou and others would be surprised and curious when they saw the situation in the stronghold. He had put in place a sound isolation technique in advance, so he was not afraid that what he said at this moment would be heard by ordinary soldiers in the stronghold.
"After Zuo Qianhu led people to investigate, he felt that leaving the Fuso ghost tree here would be a risk after all, so he mobilized a group of mountain movers to dig and expand the secret path under the Dragon King Temple, and move the Fuso tree The ghost tree was dug out and transported back to the State Town Demon Division. Whether it is sealing or research, it will be much more convenient there than here."
Zhu Xiucai, Cui Yougui and others all nodded in approval.
They have personally experienced the weirdness and horror of the Fuso Ghost Tree.
The Zhouzhen Yaosi side has rich experience in dealing with and sealing measures for all kinds of chaotic and weird supernatural objects.
In addition, it is indeed much better than staying here with experts such as Zuo Qianhu in charge.
Moreover, Zhouzhen Yaosi has moved the Fuso Ghost Tree away. Even if someone wants to take advantage of this tree again, they will still go to Zhouzhen Yaosi to cause trouble. For Mianyuan County, the pressure will be much less.
As for the fusang ghost tree being so big, Qin Shaoyou and others didn't find it strange how the people of Zhouzhen Yaosi brought it back quietly.
The Demon Division of Zhouzhen must have the corresponding supernatural items, which can hide them from the detection of others.
Qin Shaoyou just raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, Master Qianhu has left?"
"That's right."
Ye Zhiqiu took a deep look at Qin Shaoyou.
"He left within two days of returning to Shuanggui Military Village from your place. When he left, he also took the people he brought back from you with him."
Ye Zhiqiu, Cen Biqing and others were all curious about who Zuo Qianhu brought back.
But Zuo Qianhu didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask.
And they guessed that Qin Shaoyou should know something about the situation.
However, due to the confidentiality rules within the Demon Suppression Department, although they were very curious, they did not ask.
Qin Shaoyou suddenly realized: "So, Lord Qianhu has left a long time ago? No wonder I didn't get a reply to what I reported to him before. I guess he didn't receive it?"
Ye Zhiqiu said: "You are talking about the paper crane talisman you sent? I forwarded it to Master Qianhu for you, and he also gave a reply."
"Where is the reply?" Qin Shaoyou said in shock, "I didn't receive it."
Ye Zhiqiu said: "You must not have received it, because that reply letter and the other letter I left for you when I left with Lord Qianhu are all kept in the military camp."
Qin Shaoyou became even more strange.
"Why was it placed in the military camp and no one was sent to give it to me?"
"This is Master Qianhu's order, and I don't know why. When you see Master Qianhu again in the future, you can ask him yourself."
When Ye Zhiqiu said this, he sighed: "We were supposed to return to the Demon Division of Zhouzhen with the Fuso Ghost Tree. It was because we had to guard these letters that Master Qianhu left us here, waiting for your arrival."
Qin Shaoyou clicked his tongue in surprise: "If I never come, won't you have to wait forever?"
"What a beautiful idea." Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes at Qin Shaoyou and said angrily: "Master Qianhu has set a time limit. If you haven't come in three days, we can leave."
Qin Shaoyou somewhat understood.
It seems that this is Zuo Qianhu's test for him?
Because when he came to Shuanggui Village, he must have solved the demon problem in the county and started to inspect the towns within his jurisdiction.
As it is now.
The deadline given by Zuo Qianhu was like a test of whether he could solve the evil situation in the county and the complicated situations in each township within the specified time.
If he comes after the deadline, it means he failed the assessment, and he may not see the letter left by Zuo Qianhu.
When I asked, it was really the case.
Ye Zhiqiu said: "Yes, that is indeed what Lord Qianhu ordered. If you do not come to Shuanggui Village within the specified time limit, we only need to send someone to the county town to deliver the letter he sent later to you. And that letter The letters he left behind when he left were destroyed on the spot."
It was indeed a test, Qin Shaoyou nodded slightly.
I just don’t know why Zuo Qianhu wants to take such a test?
Maybe there will be an answer in the letter he left behind.
