It was Qin Shaoyou's arrangement to let the Gu worm track and follow the person who left the signal.
The reason for doing this is to let the Gu worm secretly protect these people. If they accidentally leave some traces of their hands, the Gu worm can help erase it without letting people here in Qingtang notice it.
On the other hand, Gu insects are also used to monitor these people.
After all, the spies stationed in Qingtang have lost contact for a long time, and no one can guarantee whether they have defected.
For Qin Shaoyou, who pays attention to being prepared, as long as there is a possibility of this matter, there is no way to deal with it.
At this moment, the person who was being followed by several fly bugs was very cautious along the way. He kept looking around, and the path he walked seemed to be going in circles. It was not until he was sure that no one was following him that he took a small path and walked quickly. Arrive at the north side of the royal city.
The previous introductions given by the three guides to Qin Shaoyou and others said that the north of the city was the area where the royal palace and the residences of dignitaries were located.
What they did not mention is that in addition to the royal palace and the residences of nobles, most of Qingtang's various government agencies are also located here. In addition, there are many witch temples, Buddhist temples, Taoist temples and cultural temples in this area.
Needless to say, the witch temple is a traditional belief in Qingtang. Many nobles, including the old King of Qingtang, are believers in the local witch religion. Building a witch temple in the north of the city will not only help these nobles worship the witch god, but also help Contact the wizard for them.
As for Buddhist temples, Taoist temples and Confucian temples, they are the products of previous cultural exchanges between Qingtang and Daxia.
In the past few decades, Qingtang has taken Daxia as its teacher. Not only has it learned Daxia's political system and various technologies, but it has also introduced Buddhist and Taoist beliefs, as well as Confucian education.
However, with the outbreak of the war between Qingtang and Daxia, almost all Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Qingtang were destroyed.
Incompetent monks and Taoist priests were captured as slaves by the leaders of various tribes. The capable ones were kidnapped by the wizards, who wanted to torture them out of their cultivation techniques and magical powers.
Although the Confucian Temple was not destroyed, Confucian scholars suffered a wave of purges.
All the Confucian scholars who came from Daxia were killed, and those who remained were all Confucian scholars trained in Qingtang. They are currently tampering with the Confucian scriptures in an attempt to make Qingtang the orthodox successor of the Central Plains Dynasty.
After the man arrived in the north of the city, he first passed through several destroyed Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. Then he did not take the main road and walked through alleys. Soon he came to the entrance of a courtyard.
This mansion is different from other places in that there is no plaque hanging at the door. However, those who know the details of this mansion can make a detour and will never pass by this mansion.
Because this palace is the secret service agency here in Qingtang, called the Neiwei Palace.
Just by looking at the name, you can tell that he must have learned it from Da Xia.
In addition to spying on various intelligences from other countries, the Internal Guard is also responsible for monitoring officials at all levels and tribal leaders in Qingtang. In the past, he was directly responsible to King Qingtang, but now he takes orders from the seventh prince, which can be said to have great power.
The man hesitated for a moment outside the door of the Internal Guard House and touched his chest.
On her chest, which was covered by clothes, there was a spot that looked like a birthmark. At first glance, there seems to be nothing unusual about it, but in fact, this spot is a means used by Qingtang to control them. Every month, they have to beg the people of Qingtang for an antidote, otherwise they will fall into pain worse than death.
Recalling that terrible experience, the man gritted his teeth, no longer hesitated, and quickly walked towards the Internal Guard House.
Behind him, several blowflies followed immediately.
The red door of the Neiwei Mansion was tightly closed, but when the man came to the door and before he reached out to knock on the door, the animal ring on the red door opened his eyes, uttered human words, and asked: "Who is it, and what's the matter?"
The man was startled, but he quickly regained his composure. He glanced around first, and then quickly replied: "Caomin Wangyi, please see the leader of Latu Pavilion."
"Wait."
After saying these words, Beast Ring closed his eyes.
Wang Qi, who was standing at the door of the Neiwei Mansion, kept looking left and right.
However, there were only a few people who dared to walk near the Internal Guards Mansion. It was getting dark now, and there were no people on the street. He looked around and saw nothing, which made him feel relieved.
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, the Zhumen opened with a creak.
A burly Qingtang warrior appeared at the door. After seeing Wang Yi, he raised his eyebrows with disdain: "It's really you. Tell me, what do you need to see the Lord?"
"I've met you, sir." Wang Qi bowed to the visitor, but did not express his intention. He just said, "This is a serious matter, and I can't talk about it until I meet the leader of the cabinet."
The inner guard who came out to see him sneered, with sarcasm in his tone: "The leader of the pavilion is busy with his affairs, so not everyone can see him. Please tell me what it is first. If it is some trivial matter, Just get out of here while I'm in a good mood. We're busy right now."
This inner guard is telling the truth.
After the war between Qingtang and Daxia broke out, they, the people of the Internal Guard, worked overtime day and night without stopping for a moment.
Previously, they were responsible for spying on Daxia's military situation and buying people around Dongchuan Hou.
But now, although Qingtang has been defeated, the things they have to do have not decreased at all, but have increased a lot. Not only must we continue to send secret spies to spy on the intelligence of the Qingtang Guards and bribe people around Yu Huyue, but we must also monitor the tribal leaders who have opinions about the Seventh Prince and are acting in secret, and even when necessary, take some measures that cannot be revealed by outsiders. means of knowing.
Wang Qi could see the impatience of the inner guard, but he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction or go against the other party's wishes. He could only lower his voice and said: "I saw Xia Guo's contact code in the royal city today! The secret spies of Xia Kingdom... no, they are spies sent by the people of Xia Kingdom, who took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the royal city."
"you sure?"
The inner guard was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes shone with excitement.
"You read that right?"
"I swear to Master Jiutiandang Demon that I am absolutely right." Wang Qi said hurriedly, raising his hand and swearing to the sky.
"Okay, this is the boundary of our Qingtang. You Xia Kingdom gods can't control this place."
"The Evil God"
The inner guard sneered disdainfully, but he took the news brought by Wang Qi very seriously and immediately asked him to follow him into the inner guard mansion.
"The news you brought makes me really qualified to meet the Lord Pavilion Leader. Come with me."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." Wang Yi nodded and bowed, thanked him repeatedly, followed behind the inner guard, and walked into the inner guard mansion.
The fly Gu living on the street outside the gate of the Imperial Guard did not follow.
A place like the Neiwei Mansion must have very strict security measures. If the fly Gu follows, it will inevitably not be exposed.
At that time, the loss of a few fly gu will be a small matter, but it can alert the snake and make the people here in Qingtang aware and alert, which will cause trouble.
Therefore, these fly gu just stayed outside the Neiwei Mansion to monitor.
At the same time, a fly Gu separated from the group and flew towards Zhuangzi outside the city under the cover of night to report the news.
And the moment the fly Gu left, the beast ring on the red door suddenly opened its eyes, seeming to notice something.
But its sharp eyes scanned around, but found nothing, and finally closed its eyes.
