Chapter 340
In the early years of the Apocalypse, the imperial family was overthrown, the world was in chaos, the vassal states were in endless chaos, the imperial power was unable to turn the tide, and the majesty was gone.
The emperor became the most honorary ruler, and the king of Wei, Fushengye, became the real ruler.
The Floating Legion can ignore the royal orders and do whatever they want, and if it weren't for the other three forces, the Floating Leaf might have abolished the Emperor and replaced him.
These three forces are the Sword Alliance and the Quartet Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Northern Foot Academy of the Zhou State.
The Sword Alliance has been the leader of the rivers and lakes for generations. The custom of banning chivalry with martial arts has a long history and cannot be changed overnight.
The Sifang Chamber of Commerce and the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce are in the same vein, and they are both industries under Ma Yinglong's name. Ma Yinglong's forces are lurking all over Xiyuezhou, and they have already coexisted with Xiyuezhou.
He is like a cancerous cancer, and if it is not overstimulated, it will cause cancer. , the entire human race on the West Moon Continent will cease to exist. Without a foolproof strategy, the Floating Leaf will not go to war against the Quartet Chamber of Commerce.
The jade plate that Guo Wei took out was the emergency order issued by the Sword Alliance.
The jade plate of the Sword Alliance can command the children of the rivers and lakes to help the danger with the ambition of trapping.
In addition, this jade plate also represents a promise, if only the enemies of the rivers and lakes see this jade card, take into account the feelings of the Sword Alliance and let go of their grievances, he can use this jade card to let the Sword League help him complete a wish.
No matter what the forces, if they ignore the Jade Plate of the Sword Alliance, they will be regarded as enemies by the Sword Alliance and retaliate.
Cheng Mo picked up the jade plate of the Sword Alliance, and as an important position in the Flying Tiger Army, of course he knew the weight of this jade card.
He can take people to level the Guo Mansion on his own initiative, but he has no right to advocate war with the Sword Alliance without authorization.
"Wait a minute!"
Cheng Mo took the jade plate of the Sword Alliance and came to a Wupeng carriage. The carriage was covered with a full tiger skin blanket. A small letter rat is sleeping on a tiger's paws.
Cheng Mo picked up the little letter mouse and said the confusion he encountered.
At the same time, Drawing Heart receives a message from the letter rat.
She immediately jumped like a dragonfly and stepped over the lake from the railing of the water pavilion to the bottom of the Beihai Tower.
Wei Wang Fusheng Ye usually meditates on the Beihai Tower, and outsiders are forbidden to disturb him.
Huaxin cautiously came to the cloud viewing platform on the top floor of Beihai Tower.
Under the cover of the green gauze tent, Ahri, a girl in red, was studying ink. On the rosewood table was a long roll of rice paper, white and without a word.
A purple-blue inkstone with a dark azure pattern is placed in the corner of the table.
The ink is fragrant, but Ahri hasn't thought of writing down something to practice calligraphy.
Draw the heart to find the floating leaves, but the floating leaves happen to be not there.
Ahri said, "Is there something wrong?" When the host came back, I told him immediately! β
Huaxin then took out Guo Wei's sword alliance jade plate to stop the Flying Tiger Battalion's search.
Hearing this, Ahri was silent for a moment, and struggled to write the next paragraph.
She put the brush back on the pen holder, blew the ink that had not dried, and said to the painting heart: "I have often heard this sentence on the lips of the master, and now I will write it down and give it to you." β
The words of Ahri that the painting heart took saw a familiar passage written on it:
We should not blindly follow the so-called truth, Gaine - everything is false.
If morality and law can only be used to restrain your good, but not to prevent others from unleashing evil, remember that our ancestors lived in a time when everything was acceptable.
After reading it, he said: "Floating Declaration!" There is another sentence at the end: We are floating warriors, the sword points to, the heart desires, a sword is light, life and death are forgotten! β
Ahri said, "Not bad! The Floating Declaration is not just a slogan, it's your code of conduct!"
Drawing the heart said: "I understand! β
The little letter mouse used its small paws to knock out a string of signals in Cheng Mo's palm.
Cheng Mo said to himself: "Everything is allowed!" β
He suddenly brightened, stepped out of the carriage and strode to the door of Guo's house, and returned the sword alliance jade plate to Guo Wei.
Guo Wei took the token with trembling hands, and Cheng Mo waved his hand to his subordinates: "Go in and search, and those who obstruct military affairs will be executed on the spot!" β
"Roarβ"
The command of the Mo Dao team is different and shocking.
A group of vigorous Mo knife hands approached Guo Zhai side by side. They are like wolves entering a flock of sheep, turning over the chickens and dogs jumping everywhere in the Guo house.
Although the Guo Mansion is large, there is no hidden place under the churning of the three hundred Mo knife team. Finally, the secret chamber hidden under the low house in the grove was also discovered.
But before the Modao team could enter and search, smoke billowed from under the entire secret room.
At the door of Guo's house, cold sweat broke out on Guo Wei's forehead. He wanted to invite Cheng Mo to the side to talk several times, but Cheng Mo refused.
Cheng Mo saw that his subordinates had not been able to find the missing person for a long time, and he waved at Xu Zhutou.
Xu Zhutou didn't dare to hesitate, and came to Cheng Mo's side meekly.
Cheng Mo said: "I heard that one of your subordinates has been investigating the disappearance of the third son of the Yang family, so let him come to see me." β
When Xu Zhutou heard this, he immediately brought Shen Hai, who was on duty, to Cheng Mo from the corner of the street.
Shen Hai didn't dare to raise his head in front of Cheng Mo: "Humble Shen Hai!" β
Cheng Mo said: "How much do you know about the disappearance of the third son of the Yang family. β
Shen Hai was thinking about how to answer.
Cheng Mo said: "Come in with me!" β
Cheng Mo acted resolutely, he raised his feet and left, and Shen Hai followed.
When they came to Guo's house, they saw that Mo Dao was still searching for each room.
Cheng Mo said with a grim face: "Open my eyes a little wider." β
Shen Hai saw that there were only the two of them nearby, and he understood that Cheng Mo was talking about him.
Shen Hai immediately entered the state and began to examine every grass and tree in Guo's house with a unique eye.
Suddenly he smelled a strange smell, and he sniffed around like a hound, and when he looked up, he saw the smoke above the grove.
"There's a situation there!"
Cheng Mo looked at what Shen Hai was pointing and said, "It's on fire, go over and take a look!" β
By the time they reached the grove, a viper-like fire was already bursting from beneath the chamber.
Cheng Mo looked at the low house and said, "It's the residence of the people in the house!" β
Shen Hai only glanced at it and said, "There is a secret room underground. β
Cheng Mo shouted loudly when he heard this: "Someone, why don't you put out the fire if there is a fire?" β
Several elderly and frail family members in Guo's house came to Cheng Mo with a cower and said: "The fire came suddenly, and everyone else in the courtyard went to greet the officers and soldiers. β
Cheng Mo said: "Where did I go to fetch water, why didn't I see anyone coming?" β
Lao Ding said: "I'll go to the fish pond in the front yard." β
When Cheng Mo entered the door, he saw a small fish pond in the front yard, which passed through most of the house from here, and was a mile away.
Shen Hai looked at the fire, and he smelled the smell of burnt flesh in the flames.
"Is there a pigsty underground?"
He grabbed a servant and asked.
When the family saw Shenhai's fierce appearance, he was so frightened that he squeaked and whined, and he didn't know what to do.
Shen Hai said: "Who will bury the pigsty in the ground? Below is a secret room, and there are people in it, right? β
He immediately thought that the third son of the Yang family might be in the secret room on fire.
Cheng Mo also reacted and said angrily: "You dare to set fire to destroy the evidence." Someone, put out the fire for me. β
After receiving Cheng Mo's order, the Modao team immediately broke open the door of a warehouse, took buckets, pottery bowls and other utensils, and began to draw water from the fish pond and teleport to the edge of the secret room in the grove.
The water splashed into the flames quickly, and at first it was paid by the waterwheel, but after a long time, the people united as one, gathered sand into a tower, gathered water into a trickle, and the fire was gradually controlled.
After the fire gradually stopped, Manager Guo ran to thank Cheng Mo for helping them put out the fire.
Cheng Mo grabbed the collar of Chief Manager Guo and said: "Although the fire is big, but such a short time is not enough to completely destroy the corpses, if I find the bodies of those three children under the secret room, I promise to put Guo Wei to death." Knowing that you help the minions, they all have to be buried with him. β
Chief Guo said with a pale face: "The general listened to what someone said and slandered us for abducting and selling children. You see that my grandfather has a big business, as for doing this kind of small business? If I don't blow it, we women can buy a hundred children with a year's rouge money. Do you think that a family like us, who is not short of money, will abduct and sell other people's children? β
Although Cheng Mo got the news of Cheng Xue before he came, the third son of the Yang family hid in Guo's house.
However, the message delivered by the letter rat sometimes does not fully describe the detailed process of the incident.
Therefore, Cheng Mo was sure that the three missing children were in Guo's house, and he led troops to surround this place suddenly, and Guo Wei had no time to transfer.
But Mr. Guo's words made Cheng Mo fall into contemplation, with Guo Wei's family business, he really didn't need to abduct and sell children.
Shen Hai fell into deep thought.
At first, he also guessed that the missing three siblings were hiding in a burning secret room.
But when he heard the words of General Manager Guo, his heart became suspicious.
Under Cheng Mo's persecution, Manager Guo looked nervous, but in fact, his expression was very relaxed.
Shen Hai even noticed that Chief Manager Guo took advantage of the silence and turned around with a wicked smile.
He began to think that the three missing children might not be below at all. Otherwise, if the Modao team searched out the bodies of the three children from under the secret room, even if it was the charred corpses of the children, Guo Wei would not be able to explain.
Shen Hai said: "Immediately check the number of children in Guo's house." β
When Cheng Mo heard this, he gestured to the close guards with his eyes. The guard said, "My subordinates will do it!" β
Shen Hai looked around the fire, and the footprints on the ground were disorganized, but he found some clues.
Cheng Mo saw that Shen Hai seemed to have found a demon and went to a path deep in the woods.
Cheng Mo followed in a few steps and said, "Did you find anything?" β
Shen Hai said: "I'm not sure, the soil on the ground is too soft, but I don't see a few footprints that don't look like adults." β
There is a fence at the edge of the woods separating it from the barren hills outside.
There is a large jujube tree next to the wall.
Guo Jieren and two family members are digging the manure pit under the tree.
"What are you doing? Sneaky here? β
Shen Hai suddenly jumped out from behind the tree and asked sharply.
Guo Jieren and Jia Ding shivered coldly.
Shenhai came to the jujube tree and saw the manure turned over all around, and the smell was unpleasant. He quickly covered his nose with a look of disgust.
Seeing this, Guo Jieren guessed that Shenhai had just arrived, and he didn't know what they had just done.
"There's a fire over there, why don't you put out the fire?" Shen Hai still suspected that the three of them were suspicious.
Guo Jiedao: "Where is the fire, I didn't see it!" β
Shen Hai said angrily: "Then the fire can't be seen, are you blind?" β
A family member said: "The owner let us dry the dung here, we just do our own work, and it doesn't matter to us to fight the fire!" β
Shen Hai grabbed the answering family and said, "There will be that landlord in the world who will raise an irresponsible family like you!" β
Guo Jiedao: "Why should adults embarrass a person who digs dung? β
Shen Hai let go of the dung digger when he heard this, and then sniffed his hand, and sure enough, there was some stinky smell.
He regretted it a little, and when he was about to leave, Cheng Mo walked over with a gloomy face.
"Still nothing?"
Shen Hai shook his head in disappointment.
Cheng Mo frowned and said, "Let's go!" β
Shen Hai was about to leave, when he suddenly saw an embroidered shoe on the side of the path blocked by dry grass.
