"Who is so bold as to kill so many city lords?" Qin Yuetian was also angry.
Although these cities are controlled by various city lords, in fact, these cities are the sphere of influence of the dynasty. Even if ordinary monks don't know who the forces behind the City Lord's Mansion are, they should know that not everyone dares to offend the City Lord's Mansion.
But now, the city lords of several cities have been killed. This is simply a provocation!
"Sir, the gates of the cities where the accident happened have been sealed, and they all hope to find these murderers!" Guard Fang Guo said.
"Are you sure those murderers were wearing black robes?" the guard asked.
"Yes, we also saw the murderer that night, but the murderer was too strong and too fast. After killing the city lord, he disappeared immediately, so we sealed the city gate!"
"Since the city lords of several cities have been killed for nearly half a month (the plot requires that the three days in the previous article are changed to half a month), it means that the murderer has already left the city. What is the use of blocking the city gates? ?" the guard said.
"According to the information we have received, there should be more than one of these men in black robes, so they may still be in the city!"
"more than one?"
"Yes, because several city lords were killed almost at the same time, it would be absolutely impossible for one person to do it." Fang Guo explained.
"Young Master, do you think these men in black robes are those people?" said the big man Dazhu next to Qin Yuetian.
Although he was injured by Cheng Yu before, after these days of recovery, he has almost recovered.
"Those people?" Qin Yuetian asked confused.
"It's that mysterious force called the Holy Dynasty! Don't their people always wear black robes?" Dazhu reminded.
"It's possible!" Qin Yuetian nodded.
This time they suspected that Cheng Yu was related to this mysterious dynasty, but they had no evidence because they only knew that Cheng Yu and the others happened to be there when those mysterious men in black robes appeared in those dynasties. appeared.
And now they have been away for nearly half a month. For such a long time, they have been more than tens of thousands of miles away from the world.
Especially since these things happened half a month ago, they might still be in the world at that time.
If Cheng Yu is really a member of the Holy Dynasty, then it should be impossible to instruct these people to attack the Dynasty at the same time from such a distance.
So he was even more sure that Cheng Yu had nothing to do with the Holy Dynasty. In this way, it would be easier for him to go back to work. As long as the incident of that battle was not spread, no one would know that he lost to Cheng Yu.
"Young Master, do we want to take care of this matter?" Dazhu asked.
"This happened half a month ago. How do you think we can take care of it? Which foreign court is under the jurisdiction of Kaiyuan City?" Qin Yuetian asked.
"As far as I know, Kaiyuan City and nearby cities are under the jurisdiction of the Tianqing Foreign Dynasty. Does the young master mean to pass this matter to the Tianqing Foreign King?" Dazhu said.
"Yes, this is his jurisdiction. If we interfere in this matter, it will make King Tianqing misunderstand that we are dictating to him!" Qin Yuetian explained.
"Yes, in that case, young master, should we change the route and go to Tianqing Waichao's residence first?"
"Well, let's go take a look and see if they have any news about those men in black robes!" Qin Yuetian nodded.
Although in his opinion, this Holy Dynasty may indeed have nothing to do with Cheng Yu, but he must find out what kind of force the Holy Dynasty is.
This time he came to the secular world to look for Cheng Yu, but it was actually for the Holy Dynasty.
If they could investigate the situation of the Holy Dynasty, it would not be considered a failure in their mission, it could even be said that they had made a great contribution.
Since these men in black robes appear here again, this is simply the best opportunity for him!
But in the next period of time, they heard some news about men in black robes killing city lords of various places. This made the city lords in many places so panicked that they didn't even dare to go out, and they were wreaking havoc in the city. Recruit talent.
However, even if some house owners recruited a large number of Mahayana masters to protect them, these city owners were still killed, and even those Mahayana monks who were recruited were killed.
After such news spread, the forces that originally wanted to compete for the position of city lord no longer had this idea. Even if the city lord was killed, they no longer dared to think about the position of city lord.
Even if the city lords in other places issued solicitation notices, no one dared to go there anymore. Even if the bounty offered by the city lord was very tempting, no one would dare to take on such a task. After all, no matter how tempting the bounty was, it would not be possible. Lives matter.
Especially the few things that happened later made Qin Yuetian and the others no longer have any doubts, because after they killed the city lord, they would leave the word "Holy Dynasty" behind!
"Young Master, this holy dynasty is really too arrogant. They only killed the city lord. This is clearly aimed at our dynasty!" Dazhu said angrily when he heard that the city lords were being killed one after another.
"That's still useful. Listen to their name - the Holy Dynasty. It's clear that they want to go against our dynasty!" Another guard Qi Lin said.
But Qin Yuetian didn't say anything, which made the guards around him very confused.
"Young Master, what are you thinking about?" Dazhu asked.
"I'm thinking, there are several cities near us, such as Nanjin City, Yishui City, Leyi City, Yunxi City and dozens of other cities, but why were the city lords of only a few of them killed?
More importantly, there is no pattern in the cities where these city lords were killed. Look, Kaiyuan City is here, Leyi City is here, and Yishui City is here. They are not adjacent to each other.
And from the news we have received these days, these city lords even had conflicts.
Why didn't they also kill the city lords of several adjacent cities? And what about killing people in cities so far apart?
But if you look at the situation here, the city lords of several neighboring cities have been killed. So what is the law of killings in this holy dynasty? Qin Yuetian said as he took out the power map of Tianqing Waichao and gave instructions to everyone.
"Young Master, I think this is a normal thing. Think about it, if there are rules to follow, wouldn't other city lords be prepared in advance?
But with such an irregular killing method, they will never guess who will die next! Qi Lin said.
"I don't think so?" Qin Yuetian was very confused.
These days, they also hope that they will have the opportunity to encounter those mysterious black-robed men in some cities.
However, they had only heard that the city lords of other cities had been killed, and they had never found out that the city lords of their own city had been killed. The men in black robes seemed to know their existence.
The closest they got to the men in black robes was in Xilan City. When they arrived in Xilan City, something happened in the city. However, when they rushed to the city lord's mansion, except for a group of dead people, there was no sign of the man in black robe, which made him very disappointed.
So every time he got news that a city lord had been killed, he would mark it on the Tianqing Waichao's power map, but he never found any pattern in it.
"Young Master, I think this Holy Dynasty is simply too cunning. They are deliberately using this method to confuse them so that we will never find them," Qi Lin said.
"But if we don't know who their next target is, we will never know where they will appear, and it will be impossible to catch them!" Qin Yuetian said unwillingly.
"Young Master, I may have discovered something, but I don't know if it's a clue!" At this time, another guard, Lu Kang, said.
"Oh? What did you find? Tell me quickly!" Qin Yuetian said eagerly.
"It's like this. In fact, we have passed through so many cities before, especially when we passed through those cities where the city lords were killed, we would always hear discussions from some people in the city." Lu Kang said.
"Discussion? What discussion?" Everyone was a little confused.
"The people in the city seem to be very happy that these city lords were killed! Although I don't know if all city lords are like this, but some city lords seem to have done a lot of evil in the city. Young Master, I don't know if this is Clues?" Lu Kang said.
"So what you're saying is that these city lords were killed because they did evil in the city?" Qin Yuetian frowned.
"Young Master, I am just guessing. As for the truth, I don't know!" Lu Kang said nervously.
"Well, your guess is not unreasonable. But it is not difficult to verify your guess. Next, we will go to the cities where the city lords were killed to see if it is really what you said. I mean, these city lords are usually evildoers." Qin Yuetian said.
"Yes!" Lu Kang felt relieved. It seemed that the young master also recognized him.
Therefore, in the following time, they were not in a hurry to go to Tianqing Waichao's residence, but detoured to several cities where the city lords were killed. In the end, they really verified Lu Kang's guess.
Sure enough, as he said, those city lords who were killed all had a common characteristic, that is, they were unpopular in the city.
"Young Master, if this is the case, then these men in black robes are not bad people, but they are helping the people get rid of harm!" someone said.
"Pesticide? But this is our dynasty's territory. Why do we need their Holy Dynasty to intervene? They clearly want to replace it!" Dazhu said.
"Young Master, do you think those men in black robes were just a pretense? In fact, those city lords were killed by their own people in the city? Otherwise, why would those people tell us that they are from the Holy Dynasty after killing people? Isn't this intentional to expose yourself?" Lu Kang said again.
"Well, it seems that there are still many problems in this. We need to investigate first! No matter whether these things are done by some holy dynasty or by our own people in the city, we must find out those black-robed people. It’s the person’s identity that matters!” Qin Yuetian nodded and said!
