Chapter 1290: Thief Catches Thief
Chapter 1290 Thief Catches Thief
In the barracks of Princess Changle's Mansion, Liu Feng was dancing with his eyebrows and telling Ye Zhen and Gu Tieqi about the major events that happened in the court.
"Don't you know, those old guys and old diehards in the Ancestral God Temple, for that almost impossible chance to find the soul demon, actually sacrificed the Scorching Sun Scepter to search for the soul of An Ling Hou Jijia!"
"The Scepter of the Scorching Sun, the Ancestral Temple has three incredible scepters, and it is one of the two scepters inherited from the Ancestral Temple that can override the imperial power!
According to my father, the scorching sun scepter has not appeared for hundreds of years, and when I take it out this time, my face will be black!"
Compared with Gu Tieqi, Liu Feng, who was born as a sister-in-law, can get more secret news.
This can be regarded as the welfare of the descendants of those princely families, every few days, the elders of the family will tell the descendants about the major events that happened in the court, and then let them analyze the theory and cultivate their vision in this area as early as possible.
To be honest, Ye Zhen had heard of the Scorching Sun Scepter of the Ancestral God Temple for the first time, but compared to the Scorching Sun Scepter of the Ancestral God Temple, Ye Zhen now wanted to know more about the final fate of An Ling Hou Ji Jia.
"Since the Ancestral God Temple has even sacrificed the Scepter of the Scorching Sun, which can override the imperial power, then Anling Hou Jijia is afraid that he will die this time, right?" Ye Zhen asked cautiously.
This time the matter involves the face of the royal family, and basically it will not be dealt with publicly, so if Ye Zhen wants to know the result, he can only knock on the side.
Hearing this, Liu Feng shook his head, "I have to say, An Linghou's guy has a very big life, seeing that his father can't protect him, the Heavenly Temple is here again?"
"Heavenly Temple?"
These two words made Ye Zhen's pupils shrink, Heavenly Temple, this is a place that Ye Zhen has heard countless times, independent of the worldly world of the Great Zhou, but inextricably linked to the Great Zhou.
"Yes, Wei Yu, the Heavenly Temple Divine Master and Deputy Hall Master of the Thunder Temple, personally came, and guaranteed on the spot that An Ling Hou Ji Jia had been baptized and blessed by the Heavenly Temple's Great Purification Divine Technique, and it was absolutely impossible to have any possibility of collusion with the demons!
At the same time, the deputy hall master of the Thunder Temple also brought the jade slip of the master of the Thunder Hall of the Heavenly Temple, as well as the decree of enshrined Ji Jia as the chief governor of the Thunder Hall of the Heavenly Temple!"
"The chief governor of the Heavenly Temple Thunder Temple, that is equivalent to the external spokesperson of the Thunder Temple in the Great Zhou, handling the secular affairs of the Heavenly Temple Thunder Temple, representing the face of the Heavenly Temple Thunder Temple, and with the baptism and blessing of the Heavenly Temple's Great Pure Divine Technique, even if it is the old stubborn of the Ancestral God Temple, he does not dare to risk completely tearing his face with the Heavenly Temple to search for An Linghou's soul. ”
Listening to Liu Feng talking, Ye Zhen's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, Wei Yu was actually promoted to a divine master, not only promoted to a divine master, but also became the deputy hall master of the Heavenly Temple Thunder Palace, this is a manifestation of being promoted and reused.
However, in the last incident of dealing with Kui Niu in Banzhou, the three thousand Thunder Saint Guards and five hundred Spirit Masters under Wei Yu almost all died.
With such a big loss, it is difficult to say whether Wei Yu can keep his position in the Heavenly Temple, how can he get such a large degree of promotion?
"Liu Feng, I remember that Wei Yu was just a Heavenly Temple Great Spirit Master, right?How did he suddenly become a high-ranking Divine Master??," Ye Zhen wondered.
Liu Feng, who was interrupted, showed a hint of mystery and lowered his voice and said, "I don't know the reason, I only have a little hearsay, more than a month ago, Great Spirit Master Wei Yu risked his life to explore and discover a thunder attribute spirit stone vein, and the reserves are extremely rich!"
Wei Yu handed over this rare attribute spirit stone vein to the Thunder Palace, and only then did he gain the appreciation of the Lord of the Thunder Palace, and he was allowed to enter the Holy Land to practice, not to mention, he was also appointed as the deputy hall master of the Thunder Hall who held the real power."
Liu Feng's words were only half said, and Ye Zhen basically understood the cause and effect of this matter.
Nine times out of ten, this matter is still related to Kui Niu and the innate spirit creature Lei Lingteng, where Kui Niu lives, the possibility that there is a thunder attribute spirit stone vein hidden under the place where the innate spirit creature Lei Lingvine grows, is too big.
Ye Zhen also thought about this possibility at the beginning, but Ye Zhen didn't have much time, even if Ye Zhen found out, he wouldn't be able to get it.
It's just that Ye Zhen didn't expect that this possibility would actually achieve the Great Spirit Master Wei Yu, and even saved the life of An Ling Hou Ji Jia at a critical moment.
This made Ye Zhen's face extremely ugly, "In the end, what is the final result of the soul demon invasion?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Continue to investigate, but due to the intervention of the Heavenly Temple, An Linghou's life can be regarded as saved. However, according to the rules of the ancestral temple, those who have a position in the heavenly temple are not allowed to enter the court as officials, let alone be awarded marquis. ”
"According to the ancestral system, the title of Marquis of Anling Jijia was inherited by one level to his son, who was less than thirteen years old, but His Majesty removed the title of Marquis Anling by two levels on the charge of lax royal duties.
Obviously, he was very unhappy with An Linghou Jijia's complete refuge in the Heavenly Temple.
Directly demoted to the first class of the country, An Lingbo inherited it, and the fief was also recovered nearly ninety percent!"
In Ye Zhen's puzzled gaze, Liu Feng explained a little incoherently, "This is actually related to the entanglement of the interests of the Heavenly Temple, the Imperial Power, and the Ancestral God Temple.
In the Great Zhou, it is the most unlikely that the tentacles of the Heavenly Temple reach into the court, but the Heavenly Temple is happy to do it, and what is even worse is that after so many years of operation, the Heavenly Temple has reached into countless tentacles in the Great Zhou Dynasty Hall either openly or secretly.
Sometimes, the candidates secretly selected by the Heavenly Temple are often able to get a faster promotion.
However, once exposed, especially if an artist like An Linghou is recognized by the Heavenly Temple on the surface, he will be swept out of the house immediately. Liu Feng explained.
Hearing this, Ye Zhen spread his hands in astonishment, "Such a big case is over like this?
"Understatement?" Liu Feng shook his head, "I'm afraid the impact behind this incident is greater than all of us imagined."
The lord of the Thunder Hall of the Heavenly Temple named Anling Marquis Ji Jia as the chief governor of the Thunder Palace, in addition to Ji Jia's own identity and the support of his master Wei Yu, more importantly, in order to win over the prince of Yizheng and leave Prince Ji Yuan.
You don't know, just yesterday, after the intervention of the Ancestral God Temple, and with the permission of several princes of parliament, Prince Ji Yuan, one of the eight princes of parliament, has been deprived of the command of some legions on the battlefield of people and demons, and the command of more than 50 frontier legions in his charge has been quietly relieved of a quarter. ”
"This makes Prince Li's fifth ranking among the eight major political princes, and suddenly falls to the seventh place, if there is no good means for the prince, maybe it won't be long before the prince of my Great Zhou is the prince of Li, and he will be replaced!" Liu Feng said, "Of course, the Heavenly Temple is afraid that this situation will not occur." ”
Ye Zhen didn't speak, he didn't have any interest in the change of the prince's position.
What he wants is for An Linghou Jiga to be punished as he deserves, and he wants the head of An Linghou Jiga.
But with such a big move, Anling Marquis Jijia is still fine, but the title has been cut.
The position of the chief governor of the Heavenly Temple Thunder Hall made his power almost undamaged.
You must know that the chief governor of the Heavenly Temple Thunder Hall is almost the fourth person in the Heavenly Temple Thunder Temple, except for the hall master and the two deputy hall masters, he is the only one.
Although nominally, the status of those Thunder Temple's Divine Masters and even Great Spirit Masters was much higher than his, even Divine Masters were in some respects bound by the Chief Governor in charge of secular affairs.
"It seems that the Heavenly Temple, which is extremely worshiped by the people, is not a good thing! Wei Yu and Ji Jia, even if you have a high status in the Heavenly Temple, I will kill you!" Ye Zhen secretly shouted.
"Captain Qiqi, the Sky Survey Division's Sha Patrol Envoy came here, saying that the Heaven Survey Division has something to ask the general to come over and cooperate with the investigation!"
"The Sky Survey Division is looking for me?" Ye Zhen showed a strange expression.
Under the leadership of Sha Luo, when Ye Zhen went to the Heaven Survey Division, An Linghou had just changed into a pair of white robes and thunder-patterned clothes of the governor of the Heavenly Temple Thunder Temple, and under the supervision of several star-patterned priests of the Ancestral God Temple, he handed over everything in An Linghou's Mansion with a pale face, and then was sent away from Luoyi.
"Master, you must investigate, you must find out about this matter!" Out of Luoyi, An Linghou Jijia almost gritted his teeth and roared.
To be precise, it is Ji Jia, the chief governor of the Thunder Hall of the Heavenly Temple.
"Master, in the incident of our hunting of Kui Niu, it was a soul demon who came out to pick fruits and almost killed us! And this time, it was also a soul demon who framed me in Luoyi and almost killed me!
I can assure you that these two souls are definitely one person! I must find this guy, and then catch him, and give him back the sins I have suffered tenfold and hundredfold."
Ji Jia shuddered suddenly, the many terrifying methods that the Ancestral God Temple had imposed on him in the past three days were like a nightmare, making him tremble all over his body when he thought about it.
"Old dog Bai Xiang, if there is a chance in the future, I must break him to pieces!" Ji Jia's expression became extremely hideous.
Wei Yu, the deputy hall master of the Lei Hall who was reclining in the frame, showed a leisurely look in his eyes, "Do you kill that old bastard of Bai Xiang?" Don't worry, there will be a chance, there will really be a chance!"
As for the demons," Wei Yu's expression suddenly became extremely strange, "We asked over there, and they haven't arranged a similar raid at all recently.
They also said that if they had a way to infiltrate Luoyi, they would have entered the Luoyi Royal City a long time ago, and it wouldn't be such a petty fight!"
Hearing this, Ji Jia, the chief governor of the Thunder Palace, also became extremely strange, "Master, you mean that the Heavenly Temple has a connection with that side?"
Wei Yu smiled noncommittally, "Don't worry, that demon cub will definitely be found out by this seat, the innate spiritual things in my hands have been robbed, how can this seat swallow this breath?"
It is said that he is about to come out of the Holy Land Qingli Peak, and when he comes out, ask him to calculate, and he will be able to find out the bastard who has been targeting us behind the scenes!"
Hearing this, Ji Jia's eyes lit up suddenly, "Master, do you mean that the one who can know 100,000 years in advance and 300 years later"
Wei Yu smiled and nodded emphatically
"Captain Ye, please come over this time, mainly because there is your name among the people who have enmity with his Tian family provided by Tian Zhou Gong, so please come over and cooperate with the investigation!"
In front of many subordinates, the tone of the patrol Jing Zhan was very official, and after Ye Zhen defended himself and explained what he was doing at the time, such routine inquiries were over, and the middle patrol hunting Jing Zhan waved away many subordinates, leaving Ye Zhen alone.
"To tell the truth, the first time I learned the news that Tianzhou Gong's eldest son, Matsuyama Hou Tianyuan, had been stabbed to death, this patrol hunted intuition, and my intuition must have something to do with you!
"Actually, to tell the truth, I really want to kill Tian Yuan's evil anger, the Tian family has sent dead soldiers to assassinate me one after another, and the clay people are angry! It's a pity that I didn't wait for me to have a chance to make a move, but I'm really happy about this!" Ye Zhen also spread his hands helplessly, but the shock in his heart was indescribable.
He didn't know if Jing Zhan Fangcai's words were joking, or if he was testing him!
If it's the former, then it's fine, if it's the latter, then this mid-patrol hunting Jing Zhan is too terrifying.
Ye Zhen asked himself that this matter was almost seamless, and he could still doubt Ye Zhen!
It's not an ability anymore, it's a talent, a supernormal intuition!
"Yes, it's a pity that it was killed by the soul demon, so no matter how much I think it has anything to do with you, it's impossible! It's just that the old man of Tianzhou Gong doesn't dare to provoke Prince Li, and he cries and cries here every day to ask for the murderer. ”
"It's really miserable to say, his son was killed, not only did he have nowhere to redress his grievances, he couldn't take revenge, but he also offended Prince Ji Yuan for no reason.
It is said that in the past few days, Prince Ji Yuan has been in trouble with him several times, obviously because of the incident of An Ling Hou Ji Jia, he was angry with him.
You haven't seen Tianzhou Gong, the whole person is like a hundred years old overnight, and he has gray hair!"
Ye Zhen shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I said Lord Zhongxun Jing, you came to me, it won't be boring enough for me to listen to your complaints, right?"
"If that's the case, the girl from Nuan Yulou will be a better person to talk to!"
"Bold!"
Zhong Patrol Jing Zhan's eyes rolled and pretended to be pretentious, but Ye Zhen sat in front of him, "If there is anything, just say it directly, I don't like to beat around the bush!"
Jing Zhan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ye Zhen with a look of approval, "To be honest, you kid was born to be a spy, why don't you want to enter the Heaven Survey Civil Division, if you are willing to enter the Heaven Survey Division, this patrol will be right away."
Looking at Ye Zhen's gesture to stop, Zhong Patrol Jing Zhan Zhengse said, "You know, the matter of the demon clan was boiling over a few days ago, according to the research of the Heaven Survey Division, if there is really a demon clan infiltrating, then there is a chance that it is still hidden in a hidden corner of Luoyi."
Even if we want to investigate, there are some places that we can't do, not to mention, ordinary wind scouts can't see through the disguise of the soul demon.
Therefore, I hope that these days you can use the Otogi Psychic Technique to search the whole city of Luoyi, if you can really find the trace of that soul demon, this seat promises, your rank will be at least one level!"
Ye Zhen was stunned, and he couldn't describe the task assigned by Jing Zhan in the middle patrol.
Let him urge the Otogi Psychic Technique to use the information fed back from the flowers and trees in the whole city of Luoyi to search for the soul demon, isn't this a thief catching a thief?
I'm afraid that Jing Zhan of the Central Patrol Hunting couldn't have dreamed that this matter was really caused by Ye Zhen!
However, such a task, he liked!
If you can't find it, you can't take responsibility, in the words of Jing Zhan, you just do your best. After all, the Ancestral God Temple dispatched the Great Sun Priest and the Heaven Survey Division dispatched two Spirit Venerable-level existences, but they were not found.
To put it bluntly, letting Ye Zhen go out is just doing his best to obey the destiny of heaven.
Therefore, Ye Zhen happily accepted the order and left.
It has been five or six days since the demons infiltrated and assassinated Hou Tianyuan in Songshan, although the vigilance has been removed, but there is still a smell of tension on the streets of Luoyi, and there are faint figures everywhere in the dark, and there are few normal pedestrians.
At this critical moment, Ye Zhen naturally won't wander around, and An An's return to Princess Changle's Mansion is the right thing.
But to Ye Zhen's surprise, as soon as Ye Zhen arrived at the gate of Princess Changle's mansion, he saw two of his cronies, Liu Feng, a marching staff officer, and Sima Gu Tieqi, and Princess Changle's father-in-law, who was waiting anxiously at the gate of the mansion.
In that case, it looks like something is definitely wrong!
When he was stunned, Ye Zhen hurriedly greeted him, "You three, what are you doing here, what happened?"
Before Ye Zhen stepped forward, Gu Tieqi and Liu Feng saw Ye Zhen and rushed towards Ye Zhen.
But they are fast, and Grandpa Lu is faster than them, and when he grabbed Ye Zhen, Grandpa Lu grabbed Ye Zhen and dragged him to the house, "Oh, my captain, you are back, you are about to kill me!"
"Heavenly Temple, Heavenly Temple is here, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the old ancestor (Father-in-law) are waiting for you, come with me!" Father-in-law Lu said anxiously. (To be continued.) )
