"How do I feel like we've fallen into a trap, and all I can sense now are minions." Murong Yanran kept looking around, looking a little uneasy.

"Of course it's a trap, and they're trying to lure us into a trap. However, it depends on how big their appetite is, and it is not easy to eat us, so we will crush their fangs first. And sneered.

Besides, I really don't believe in this evil, the ancestor protector faction dares to fight against Jinyiwei on the streets of the capital, this is not like an assassination, one blow and leave, the risk is not great, and there is no way to track it down later.

Last time in the suburbs of the capital, the three holy envoys killed more than two hundred elites of the Jinyi Guard, that was because the people of the Jinyi Guards were too scattered, dozens of people in a group, giving the three holy envoys a chance to break through, and now five hundred people are gathered together, that is, the top masters, there are no more than a dozen or twenty people can not eat these people, not to mention that there are also four masters here.

"It's really possible that it's the White Lotus Sect, but it's too late for the White Lotus Sect to hide now, how dare you find something to do." Murong Yanran was also confused, and this situation made her feel more and more weird.

"There's no chance that they'll succeed in doing that, and neither do suicide attacks." Miao Tianxiang was also confused.

Not to mention Jiu Niang, she just looked left and right, worried about an assassin killer popping up somewhere. Jiu Niang didn't care at all about what Master and Miao Tianxiang perceived, and she couldn't tell what was normal and what was abnormal.

In a short time, the fighting, shouting, and screaming all ceased, and the walls of the shops on both sides were full of people, all of whom were trembling and curled up.

"My lord, after the search, more than 20 people were killed, and most of them committed suicide by poisoning. Three of our men were wounded, all minorly. "A thousand households strode over to report.

"All these shops have been searched?" And point to the shops behind the people lining up outside.

"All the searches have been completed, and no suspicious people have been left."

"Then let these people go back." And wave your hand.

"My lord, here's a discovery." Another general flag came running over to report.

"What a discovery." Besides, he asked hurriedly.

"It seems to be a den of the White Lotus Sect." Zongqi said.

"Didn't the other stores find it?"

"I haven't found it yet."

"Continue to search shops where there has been fighting, and pay attention to whether there are any tunnels."

Moreover, I have always paid attention to the situation of the battle between the two sides, there have been fights in a total of twelve shops, and it is these twelve shops that no one has come out to line up, which means that the people inside have been replaced by people who are ready to attack, but the guards have only knocked down more than 20 people, this number is problematic, it is impossible to arrange two people in a store, there should be many people who escaped with the help of the secret passage, but only a few people were left to contain them, and these people who stayed behind were also dead.

Judging from this phenomenon, it is really the means of the White Lotus Sect, only the White Lotus Sect can train such a self-sacrificing disciple, but he always feels that something is wrong in his heart, so the guards continue to dig deep and find out about this matter.

"Order." The general flag turned around and was about to run away.

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about findings? Underground tunnels? Besides, he asked.

"Lord Hui, it's not a tunnel, it's a sacrificial den, and there is a statue of the leader of the White Lotus Sect." General Flag Road.

"Okay, there you go." And wave your hand.

"Statues? This is evidence, it can be determined that the people of the White Lotus Sect did it, but they have no reason to do it. Murong Yanran was still at a loss.

Although she hadn't dealt much with the White Lotus Sect, she had heard a lot and seen a lot, and in her impression, the White Lotus Sect was by no means such a reckless organization, otherwise it would not have become a big trouble for the imperial court.

"Let's go see first."

Besides, when they walked to the shop where there was a "discovery", the guards went in first as usual to carefully inspect all the places before entering.

Sure enough, in a very secret underground secret room, he saw two statues, one was a man in his thirties wearing a Taoist robe and shining with divine light, with his hands stretched forward, as if he was blessing the common people. The other is a beautiful woman with a veil and a flying skirt, as if she were a flying fairy.

"This is White Lotus Sect Leader Zhao Quan? Not really. Besides, he looked at the two statues and commented.

He has seen the portrait of Zhao Quan in the Jinyiwei file, it may be that the painter's skills are not up to par, and the portrait is very obscene, of course, it cannot be ruled out that Zhao Quan is deliberately ugly.

As for this holy woman, there is nothing to say, almost no one has seen her true face, only her body shape, but women in their twenties and thirties are generally not bad, and it is impossible to judge what a real person looks like by the portrait.

The most information in the archives of Jinyiwei is the ten elders of the White Lotus Sect, the information is complete, and the portraits are said to be realistic.

The holy envoy of the White Lotus Sect is very mysterious, and there is basically no record of the name or anything.

"Except that he will not be anyone else, and only he and the holy woman can have statues and accept the worship of the faithful." Murong Yanran said.

She hadn't seen Zhao Quan either, but she knew that since it was two statues of a man and a woman, it must be these two, and the statues couldn't be shaped casually.

The basement was now empty, except for the rows of stools, which were neatly cleaned, and it was evident that the place was used regularly and was very organized.

"What are these people doing here?"

Besides, I knocked on every wall to see if there was a mezzanine secret room or something, but I didn't find out, and after going around the room, I was a little puzzled about the purpose of these people gathering here.

"Pray and worship these two great gods." Murong Yanran replied.

"It's not just prayer and worship, it's supposed to be a point of contact."

"They should also burn incense and light candles when they do things, right?" Besides, look around.

"yes, what's wrong?" Murong Yanran asked.

In the blink of an eye, she understood that it was so clean, not only that there were no discards on the ground, but also that there was no trace of incense burning on the walls or in front of the statues.

The main hall of any temple and Taoist temple is filled with a strong aroma, even if no one burns incense, there is still that smell, which is the breath of many people lighting incense candles for many years, which has already penetrated into the walls and ground, but there is only a strong earthy smell in this secret room.

"Someone deliberately faked it." Besides, he said.

He was already very proficient in all kinds of forgery techniques, and last time he faked the scene of attacking the Three Holy Envoys in Yanshan, and it really took a lot of effort, in his eyes, this scene was too unprofessional.

"That's not necessarily, maybe this den is newly established and opened for the first time." Jiu Niang likes to raise the bar with the situation, and interjected at this time.

"Well, it's possible. However, it is more likely that the time is too rushed, and it is too late to forge it better, but the long-term aroma can not be faked. Besides.

Nothing else is difficult to fake, but it is too difficult to forge a sense of history and history, and it requires not only professionals, but also experts among professionals.

This is like imitating an ancient painting, just painting exactly the same, there is no flaw in the slightest, you must first pass the dye and ink, these things are low-grade fakes.

"So it's not the White Lotus Sect, or the Ancestor Protector Sect?" Murong Yanran frowned and thought.

"It's hard to say, I can't draw a conclusion now, and I can't make a conclusion until these shops have been searched carefully."

Besides, my heart was full of confusion, the whole thing was wrong, this was not like an interception operation at all, these people were blocked in the store, it was more like an extremely accidental encounter, not like the people who had ambushed the mission in advance. Desperately resist because they are discovered, or simply commit suicide.

Why is this so? Is suicide also an act of attack, a form of protest and a demonstration?

What is the point of this kind of suicide action that does not cause much harm, the White Lotus Sect no longer cares about the lives of its disciples, and it will not be so stupid.

"Childe, let's withdraw first, leave some people here to continue the inventory, I always feel that it is still not safe here." Murong Yanran persuaded.

She was still not at ease with the aura of those masters who had suddenly disappeared, God knew where those people were hiding, now it was only the entire street with entrances and exits, and the shops on both sides were under control, but the assassins still had a way to infiltrate.

The discovery of this secret room is also suspicious, whether it could be a Mystery Circle deliberately planted by the Assassins.

"No, it's even more noisy now, if I'm not mistaken, there will be people from the Shuntian Mansion and the Admiral of the Nine Gates in a while. If I can't suppress the scene if I leave, there will be chaos. Besides, he smiled bitterly.

He originally wanted to fish at Rossi's house, but unfortunately he didn't catch the bait at all, and when he came back, he thought that nothing would happen, but he encountered a series of nonsensical things.

"Then let's leave, somehow, I always feel uncomfortable staying here." Murong Yanran said.

Besides, let the guards remove the two statues and move them away, this is the evidence of this operation, it can be proved that the people in these shops and the dead are all members of the White Lotus Sect, as for whether they are or not, it doesn't matter, and having this pair of statues can prove everything.

"This secret room is also kept, don't let anyone else in." Besides, after giving the order, he followed Murong Yanran and the others up.

He also doesn't like the basement, he doesn't like the feeling of being stuffy.

"Your Excellency, you are really ingenious, and the brothers have really found a pit with many passages."

As soon as he walked up, the general flag came over and excitedly reported it.

"Only one place?"

"For the time being, only one has been found, and the other stores are still being carefully inspected."

"Then go ahead and check." And wave your hand.

"How do you know that there will be a tunnel secret room, you can really pinch it." Jiu Niang was surprised.

"It's not simple, they searched all the shops, there was a battle in a total of twelve shops, but there were only more than twenty suspicious people, this is obviously not right, a normal store must have at least three or five people, why are there only two or three people on average in these shops?" And laugh.
