On September 29, there were still three days left before the Pure Land Sect Assassins asked for the day of beheading.

It's late autumn, and the weather is getting cooler.

Zhou An woke up early in the morning in Chang'an Yuan of Qianshou Palace, went to Qianwu Palace, and asked Emperor Shenzhao to say goodbye, by the way, Gu Huaiyong gave him a gift yesterday and hid silver, which Zhou An could have entered Qianwu Palace yesterday, but Gu Huaiyong just went to "visit" him, and he immediately came to Qianwu Palace, which is suspicious.

The palace was full of Gu Huaiyong's eyeliner, and Zhou An didn't want to show flaws.

Therefore, he took the opportunity to ask Empress Shenzhao for peace as soon as possible to mention this matter.

When the empress heard this, she didn't say anything, everyone understood Gu Huaiyong's thoughts, and he sent money to Zhou An, which reassured the empress, because it showed that Gu Huaiyong didn't know what he had exposed, and he was still thinking about joining forces in the palace.

"Holy Lord, those financial gifts sent by Gu Huaiyong, the servants will be secretly sent to the inner mansion when they go back." Zhou An said respectfully behind the bead curtain.

"Excuse me, you can keep it." But the empress said.

"Thank you." Zhou An Shane.

"How's the assassination going?" The empress asked.

"If you return to the Holy Lord, General Gao has sent someone to keep an eye on Li Hubiao, and he has not yet discovered that the Pure Land Sect has a private connection with Li Hubiao." Zhou An said respectfully.

As soon as Zhou An's words fell, the door of the Qianyuan Hall opened, and a little eunuch bowed down at the door and said, "Your Majesty, the Tiance Army has commanded Su Chengguo to ask to see you!" ”

"Xuan!" The Empress immediately said, got up from the dragon chair, and walked out.

Zhou An hung his head and stepped aside, but did not leave.

Soon, a black-faced military general with a beard entered the Qianyuan Palace, this person is Su Chengguo, the commander of the Tiance Army, a strong man in the Earth Evil Realm, and one of the empress's henchmen! In the Qianjing City, there are two very special forbidden armies, one is the Empress Guarding the Shence Army, guarding the palace, and the other is the Tiance Army stationed in the north of the Qianjing City!

The Tiance army had 20,000 men, and its establishment was the same as that of the four forbidden armies in Qianjing, but it was also directly dispatched by the empress.

If it is said that the Shence Army is the greatest guarantee for the empress's safety, then the Tiance Army is the hope of the empress to turn the tables, although the number is only 20,000, but this is a sophisticated army, there are many martial arts masters in the army, and these 20,000 people are enough to compare with other forbidden armies of 30,000 or 40,000 people.

"The last general will see the saint, long live my emperor, long live!" Su Chengguo knelt on one knee and saluted the empress.

"General Su, please get up!" The empress walked out from behind the beaded curtain and asked urgently, "How is the matter?" ”

"Holy Lord, the news has arrived." Su Chengguo stood up and said respectfully, "At present, the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Chuanhe Army are parked in Gaoyang County, sixty miles away from the Beijing Division, and the last general has already read the holy decree in public and asked them to go back...... However, Cheng Huaiyuan, the commander of the Sichuan River Army, refused to return to the Sichuan River immediately on the grounds of insufficient food and grass. ”

"Humph! He was so bold that he dared to disobey the holy decree! The empress was angry.

"Holy Lord, the last general has gone to inspect the grain and grass brought by the Sichuan River army, and it is indeed not much, it is only enough for them to march for two days." Su Cheng National Road.

The empress's face turned cold and she was silent.

Zhou An stood aside, but he heard a comprehension!

It was the soldiers and horses sent by Wu Xukuan!

The Zhongzhou army of the Dongqian Empire is the core force of the entire Dongqian, and the number of soldiers and horses in each period is different, and now, the Zhongzhou army has 400,000 people, guarding the four places in the southeast, southeast and northwest of Zhongzhou, and the 100,000 Zhongzhou troops dispatched by Wu Xukuan this time are the soldiers and horses stationed in the northern Sichuan River.

Therefore, it is also called the River Army.

Since the Chuanhe army received Wu Xukuan's order, it left Chuanhe and rushed to Qianjing City, and it took nearly half a month to enter and arrive near Qianjing City! During this period, the empress successively sent envoys out of the city, wanting to stop the Chuanhe army and let them go back.

But it never worked, and the people who sent it out disappeared.

The last envoy sent by the empress was Su Chengguo, the commander of the Tiance army, although he stopped the Chuanhe army, but the Chuanhe army also arrived, only sixty miles away from Qianjing City, although the march speed of the 100,000 army was not fast, but sixty miles away, it did not take a day for them to rush to Qianjing.

And if you leave all the grain and grass and march in a hurry, the march is sixty miles, that is, a matter of several hours.

Therefore, it makes no difference to the empress whether the Chuanhe Army is in Gaoyang County, sixty miles away, or just outside Qianjing City!

It's dangerous!

"Let the household department allocate grain and grass for them! Get them back to Chuanhe as soon as possible! The Empress ordered.

Zhou An could feel her powerlessness and ask the household department to allocate grain and grass to the Chuanhe Army? It can be, but it will take a few days to prepare the grain and grass for the army of 100,000, but the household department has the final say, and the household department is now controlled by Wu Xukuan!

……

The matter of the Chuanhe Army has little to do with Zhou An, and he can't help, he doesn't think that Wu Xukuan dares to rebel directly, even if the army is dispatched, he doesn't dare, so the empress still has time, and Zhou An also has time, but time is running out.

In the next few days, the surface of Qianjing City was calm, but in fact it was a dark tide.

If the Chuanhe army does not leave, the 100,000 army is sixty miles outside the city, so many soldiers and horses, plus the forbidden army controlled by Wu Xukuan in Qianjing City, together are enough for Wu Xukuan to directly launch an armed coup, but he will not do it, or for that reason, directly rebel, the world is in chaos!

And in addition, the day of the assassin's beheading is also approaching!

Compared to the 100,000 troops outside the city, even if there are twists and turns in asking an assassin, it seems to be a trivial matter.

But in fact, the impact is huge!

Ask about the day when something big happens, and many people understand this.

In the blink of an eye, the second day of October, late at night.

Qianshou Palace, Chang'an Yuan Sleeping Palace.

The candlelight was dim and silent.

Zhou An sat on top of the soft collapse, his hands folded into a seal, his body was blue, and he was motionless for a long time.

He's practicing!

Or rather, to practice a small spell.

This spell is the second most difficult small spell in the "Modern Revised Edition of Small Spells", called "Qi Observation Technique"!

Qi Observation Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, even if Zhou An has an extraordinary cultivation talent for all the small spells recorded in the "Little Spell", it has taken a lot of time, and he has not yet practiced it, he wants to practice Qi Observation Technique for more than a day or two, and he has tried to cultivate it just a few days after crossing over, but he has not succeeded.

The Qi Observation Technique is not a killing technique, and it does not have any assistance to Zhou An's strength growth, but the effect is extremely magical!

Just one effect - Guanqi!

Everyone is angry, murderous, evil, resentful, unlucky, happy, all are angry! It is said that the black of the people's Yintang will be unlucky, it is not really black, the real black is that everyone can see it, and there is no need to see it as a fortune teller, the real Yintang is black, which means that people have bad luck, and this bad luck gathers in front of people's foreheads, and the color is black, so it is Yintang black.

Zhou An's Qi Observation Technique is this effect!

If he cultivates, he will be able to see people's "qi"!

In the past few days, Zhou An has almost given up the cultivation of other exercises and concentrated on cultivating the Qi Observation Technique, which is very important, because the assassin is about to behead, and there will inevitably be people from the Pure Land Sect who will rob the Dharma field at that time, and I don't know how many people will come.

Zhou An wanted to use the Qi Observation Technique to judge the situation in advance.

There is no doubt that those people from the Pure Land Sect will inevitably come with a murderous aura, so Zhou An can distinguish one from the other and prepare in advance.

This is not only to ensure the smooth progress of the questioning, but also for the sake of his own life.

It was getting to the middle of the night.

Zhou An, who was covered with blue light, suddenly moved, and the seal formed by his hands quickly changed three times, and then his right hand was raised, two fingers together, and he wiped it horizontally in front of his eyes, Zhou An opened his eyes violently, and the blue light flashed in his eyes.

There is also another name for Qi Observation Technique, Heavenly Eye Technique!

Whether you can see qi or not depends on these eyes!

Zhou An stared, his eyes rolling, as if he was re-observing the world, although the light was dim, he still saw that the world seemed to have more color.

"Little pavilion." Zhou An shouted.

"The little ones are here." Immediately outside the door, the sound of a small pavilion was heard.

"Come in and talk." Zhou Andao.

The small pavilion pushed the door in, bowed his head and walked to the soft collapse, and said softly: "Father-in-law, you command." ”

"Look up."

"Yes."

The little pavilion looked up and looked at Zhou An.

Zhou An could see his "qi", which was some gray qi, very thin, very peaceful, but there was a sense of decay.

"But you're sick?" Zhou An asked.

Xiao Tingzi didn't know why Zhou An suddenly asked this, and was stunned for a moment before saying: "The little one is fine, but my spirit has not been very good recently, and I am a little sleepy." ”

Zhou An understood, he just lacked rest, because he always gave Zhou An a night duty.

"Hmm...... The little pavilion has worked hard. ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, Father-in-law Zhou, if you do something wrong, you can say it, and the slave will definitely change." Xiao Tingzi was frightened and knelt directly on the ground, and Zhou An suddenly praised him, which made him uneasy.

"Look at you cowardly, how can you succeed in the future." Zhou An smiled, "Get up, our family just looks at your hard work for our family's vigil, there is no meaning to side, you go to rest, change someone to keep vigil for our family, in addition, our family's safety incense, you can also take back some use, good for sleep." ”

"Yes...... Be! Small, small Grandpa Xie! The little pavilion seemed to be moved, and kowtowed to Zhou An before getting up and withdrawing.

******

On the third day of October, the Assassin asked for the day of slashing!

Early in the morning, Zhou An met with Gao Hong, and went to the prison together to raise people, everything was ready, the assassin Cao Jing was pulled out, he was going to tour the streets first, walk around the Qianjing City, and at noon, he would be sent to the Dharma field, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, when the yang energy was the heaviest, he would be beheaded!

On the way to the prison, Zhou An and Gao Hong were in front, followed by a group of guards of the Shence Army.

I don't know why, Gao Hong has been worried since he saw Zhou An today.

"Lao Gao, are you nervous?" Zhou An asked with a smile.

He was joking, how could Gao Hong be nervous? He has passed through many winds and waves!

Gao Hong looked at Zhou An with a complicated expression.

"What's wrong?" Zhou An asked again, he felt that Gao Hong was in trouble.

"Xiao Anzi......" Gao Hong took a deep breath, stopped, and waved his hand behind him.

The guards of the Shence Army all fled away, leaving only the two of them in place.

"What happened?" Zhou An looked at Gao Hong and asked, already frowning.

"Not really." Gao Hong looked at Zhou An, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, and paused before saying, "These days, I sent someone to keep an eye on Li Hubiao, but I didn't find that the Pure Land Sect was in contact with him. ”

"Hmm...... Are you worried that the Pure Land Sect will not rob the Dharma field today? Zhou An asked.

Gao Hong shook his head, slowed down again, and then said: "On the night three days ago, Li Hubiao led people to seal the Drunken Flower Building in Xicheng, which is one of the best green buildings in Qianjing City. ”

"Huh?" Zhou An was stunned before asking, "What's wrong?" ”

He didn't understand the meaning of Gao Hong telling him this, what is there to say about Wu Xukuan looking for a girl?

"After that, I asked people to check Xiao Fengxian's background......" Gao Hong looked at Zhou Andao.
