Chapter 352: The Achievement of the World
After Wang Chonggu arrived, he directly took over the follow-up of Yunmengguan. However, he still has a lot of respect for Li Shimin, and when dealing with all the affairs here, he will first ask Li Shimin's opinion.
Sima Chao and Bi Jiujue met Li Shimin for the first time, and they looked at him with scrutinizing and curious eyes throughout the whole process.
Soon after that, a large number of embroidered guards arrived. Many of them are martial arts masters, but many of them are good at torture.
These are all elites specially transferred by Wang Chonggu for all the captured people in the view. Ordinary characters fall into their hands, and they can only obediently confide everything they have - it is extremely difficult for them to even want to die until these torturers are satisfied.
They even brought a large number of torture instruments, and Wang Chonggu obviously couldn't wait, so people directly started interrogation on the spot.
And this Taoist temple was quickly transformed into a hell on earth, so all kinds of miserable howls sounded one after another, and they sounded continuously, all of which were terrible and terrifying.
Even with Li Shimin's intentions, he couldn't help but turn blue, and he felt a little unbearable. As for Zhang Yurou, she simply hid at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, and she couldn't see it, and her heart was clear.
What relieved Li Shimin was that Wang Chonggu did not hide anything from him next, and all the information tortured by his subordinates would be recorded and copied to him in the original form.
Li Shimin also quickly made a new judgment on the current clues.
"So you suspect that their stronghold is hidden in the mountains, right?"
Wang Chonggu asked as he fell into contemplation: "But as far as I know, although there are mountains around the mountain, in fact, there are several peaks on the top of the mountain, and you can have a clear view of the surrounding area, and there seems to be no suitable place to hide so many materials and people? Also, how should they transport them over? There are so many pedestrians over there, and there is nothing to hide along the way." If you really do this, how can you not show your flaws?"
Li Shimin shook his head and explained: "Look at this account book, Yunmengguan has booked nine hundred and twenty coffins this year alone, and there seem to be too many dead people." How can there be so many people in the vicinity of this Yunmengguan who have the money to ask them to do things? Even if there is, the vast majority of them bring their own coffins. ”
When Bi Jiu heard this, he suddenly realized: "You mean, they are using coffins to transport people and materials?"
Li Shimin bowed slightly: "That's why I guessed like this, so I asked people to inquire about the owner and porter of the sand boat who went to Bishan here." Isn't it suspicious to send a coffin to a mountain hundreds of miles away for burial? Even if this mountain is the most outstanding feng shui blessed land in Henan, it is still puzzling. I think if they did, the sand owners and porters would have known something. But what is the specific situation has to wait for the results of the investigation of the subordinates of the prince. As for the prince's opinion, there is no suitable place to hide on the side of the mountain, but in fact, there is no way-"
"Should it be underground?"
Sima Chao didn't wait for Li Shimin to finish speaking, he already understood, he immediately pressed the knife on his waist and strode out: "I'm going to mobilize people, at most within a day or two, I must dig three feet into the ground!"
After this person left, Wang Chonggu smiled apologetically at Li Shimin: "My colleague has always been a resolute and resolute character, and he dares to take responsibility. If you are offended, please don't mind Li Kaifu. ”
Li Shimin didn't care: "The last general understands that they are all doing things for the Son of Heaven, and there is no distinction between you and me, and the prince does not need to explain." If the Demon Dragon Babu and the Emperor Shakti can be found out as soon as possible, the last general can also make a difference to the Son of Heaven earlier. ”
Wang Chonggu was nothing more than worried, he would think that this Sima Chao was suspected of stealing merit, but he really didn't take it to heart.
The area of Bishan is vast, with a radius of nearly 100 miles, and he and the people in his hands can't thoroughly investigate that area with just himself. With the help of the power of embroidered clothes, it is inevitable.
"Li Kaifu has an open-minded temperament, is public and forgetful, and is indeed a good minister of His Majesty. ”
Wang Chonggu was obviously extremely satisfied with Li Shimin's answer: "You can rest assured, it should be your credit, no one can take it away, and the old slave will say it for you in front of Your Majesty." In fact, just by virtue of this battle of Yunmeng Mountain, you can already explain it to Your Majesty. ”
"Thank you for your support!"
Li Shimin gave Wang Chonggu a salute to express his gratitude, and then changed his voice: "In fact, in the eyes of the last general, the side of Bishan is not the most important. I think that no matter how big the Demon Dragon Babu is, they will definitely find a way to relocate their stronghold in the near future. What the last general is most worried about now is the 'ambush fire' they have created. According to the ledger, they have made at least 2,100 stones* in the past year, and even if they are not only those in the school yard now, but also those seized in Xingyang before, there are still 1,500 * that are missing. What is the intention of the Demon Dragon Babu to make so many ambushes?"
When Wang Chonggu and Bi Jiujue heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and at this time, their faces were dripping with cold sweat.
※ ※ ※ ※
It wasn't until noon the next day that Li Shimin finally left Yunmengguan, and he got on the way back.
Wang Chonggu attached great importance to him, and he had to consult Li Shimin's opinion on many things. So some follow-up things, although most of them have nothing to do with him, Li Shimin can't leave.
For example, in the ledger, the source of all the scattered materials, the identity and background of the supplier, whether there is collusion with the Demon Dragon Babu, and so on.
It is said that this is all Li Shimin's business, but he is not interested in it, and he has no intention of implicating too much in this matter. But Wang Chonggu is determined to find out, and he refuses to let go of all the details and all the suspicions.
Until they basically determined that the base of the Demon Dragon Babu was near Bishan, and most of them were in the southern foothills, Wang Chonggu was finally willing to let him go.
This time, he rode directly in the carriage, just because the war horses they used before were all in a state of great vitality, and they could not be used in a short time.
The high-grade dragon blood war horse certainly has the ability to travel 800 miles a day, and the sweat and blood dragon horse that Li Shimin used before has the ability to travel 1,200 miles. But if they really did this, these precious horses would die of exhaustion.
Before, they rushed from Luoyang to Yunmeng Mountain, and the journey of more than 280 miles along the way never stopped, and they were all running at extreme speed.
Luo Li's mount is directly in a state of great vitality. Even Li Shimin's sweat and blood dragon horse is still languishing today. So they could only borrow a few carriages brought by the embroidered guards and embark on the return journey.
And Zhang Yurou just got into the car behind Li Shimin, so she took out a black ring from her sleeve with a smile and swayed it in front of Li Shimin.
"I sold this thing to you for two and a half million yuan. You are cultivating the true intent of thunder, and you should be able to use it-"
Li Shimin looked at it carefully, and then his eyes condensed slightly: "Good baby!"
He had seen this thing, and when Lin Zixuan's Yuan Shen manifested before, there was this ring suspended above his head. With the help of this treasure, that Divine Determination Profound True Person unleashed a monstrous thunder method, almost forcing him into a desperate situation.
The wild mountains, the majestic thunder nets that covered the sky and the sun, made him deeply impressed. It is estimated that when Lin Zixuan makes a move, even if he fully reveals his strength in magic, he will be beaten to the point of being seriously injured and dying.
And now this thing has fallen into the hands of Zhang Yurou.
But then Li Shimin pursed his lips, his eyes full of helplessness: "Things are very good, but it's a pity that I don't have money,"
Not long ago, he spent 1.7 million yuan to buy a king-level ink armor for Shi Benwu, which had already taken away the income from his winter hunting.
"You can owe it first!"
Zhang Yurou knew your poor expression for a while: "This thing is called Taixiao Thunder Ring, and it is a second-grade thunder magic weapon, which is only inferior to my 'Taiwu Apricot Yellow Flag', and it is not much worse than your 'Dao Heng Xuanji'." The offer price of 2.5 million guan is already very generous!"
Li Shimin thought to himself that this price was indeed very kind. At the beginning, Zhang Zhongjian was in the Jiankang black market and bought this Taiwu apricot yellow flag, which is said to have cost 3.7 million yuan.
And this Taixiao Thunder Ring is also a magic weapon of the second rank, and the thunder spell is also the most powerful of all spells. Even if it is inferior to the 'Taiwu Apricot Yellow Flag' and sells it for 3.5 million yuan, there is no problem.
This thing is indeed very suitable for him, and the true meaning of the thunder he has mastered can be used even without spiritual power.
First of all, regardless of the specific function of this Taixiao Thunder Ring, just its increase in its own exercises is very exciting.
With this thing, whether Li Shimin uses the 'Qiankun Thunder Spear', or the 'Phantom Electric Heavenly Knife', or the thunder archery technique 'Lei Ling Thirteen Absolute Arrows' that he is preparing to practice recently, his power can be greatly increased.
It's just that next, Li Shimin still showed hesitation on his face, and his expression struggled.
"Are you a man? Don't be a mother-in-law, you owe me a lot. ”
Zhang Yurou knew his intentions, and directly kicked Li Shimin: "I'm also thinking about your life, you're going to die." You owe me so much, where am I going to ask for someone?"
Li Shimin smiled dumbly, and without hesitation, he took the 'Taixiao Thunder Ring' in his hand: "Then I might as well be respectful!"
And then he looked solemn again, and looked at Zhang Yurou with gratitude: "Thank you this time?"
"Thanks for what? It's just a little money. ”
Zhang Yurou snorted nonchalantly: "If I didn't need it myself, I wouldn't have given this thing to you." ”
The corners of Li Shimin's lips couldn't help twitching slightly, but then he shook his head and said, "You misunderstood, I didn't mean 'Taixiao Thunder Ring', but this time." If it weren't for you, I'd just be going to make a mistake this time. ”
Although he was very reluctant at first, he involved Zhang Yurou. But it is undeniable that if it weren't for this girl's intervention, he might have been seriously injured now, and it would be impossible for him to win Yunmengguan completely.
And after Zhang Yurou heard this, the corners of her lips jumped, revealing a happy and bright smile.
