In the forest, Balu's angry scolding and screams suddenly sounded.

What Zhana spilled was a kind of miraculous medicine, similar to soft tendons, once hit, it would cause the opponent's qi and blood to stagnate, and hinder his movement.

If she faced it head-on, she would not have been able to succeed at all.

Sneak attacks are different, and they can often achieve the miraculous effect of defeating the strong with the weak.

To add insult to injury, there is also a cheetah hidden in the shadows.

In fact, Gu Ming doesn't like sneak attacks, but he doesn't mind sneak attacks, the key is to depend on the actual situation.

According to Zana's confession, this Balu is the real murderer of the women in the city.

Although this guy is from the Western Regions, he is quite interested in some ancient secret techniques in the Central Plains, especially some so-called growth and immortal techniques.

The Wei family did what they liked and took the initiative to offer a secret art.

This secret technique is said to be able to make people reborn and enter immortality, but its cultivation method is extremely evil, and even the people of the Wei family do not have the courage to cultivate, but Balu is like a treasure.

The "good people" of the Wei family did it to the end, not only offering secret techniques, but also secretly collecting the birthdates of school-age women in the city, and once they found the target, they secretly abducted them and handed them over to Balu as a furnace to cultivate.

This move can be described as a heinous crime.

Therefore, Gu Ming's next plan is to deal with the Wei family and uproot it.

"Whew!"

Just as Balu cursed and tried to flee, a sword shadow swept down.

"Pak~"

An extra arm on the ground.

This sword slashed hard, and the whole hand was removed directly from the shoulder.

Then another sword ...... The left leg is also gone.

has suffered heavy losses in a row, where can Balu still hold on? He fell to the ground in front of him.

Gu Ming put away his sword and said lightly at Zhana: "Okay, the rest will be handed over to you, I don't care what method you use, in short, you must stabilize the Wei family, and you can't let them escape alone."

Remember, this is your only chance to make meritorious contributions, and if you dare to think carefully, you know the consequences. ”

Zana couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Childe, the matter has come to this point, does Zana still have a choice?" ”

"It's good to understand!"

Gu Ming nodded with satisfaction.

Before, he deliberately arranged for Zana to do it first, which is called a vote.

Then Gu Ming instructed again, and then turned around and strode away.

……

After a night.

At noon, Gu Ming's figure had already appeared in the capital.

Along the way, I didn't care about appreciating the prosperous scene of the capital, and after some inquiry, I came to the mansion of the military department.

"Shangshu Mansion is important, and idle people are not allowed to stay."

As soon as one of the guards on duty outside saw Gu Ming approaching the gate, he immediately yelled at him.

Gu Ming took out a name sticker: "This is the name sticker handed over by Master Fu below, please let me know." ”

As soon as he saw that Gu Ming was holding the name of Lord Shangshu, the guard's attitude immediately became respectful.

"May I ask your surname?"

"The surname is Gu."

"Gu Gongzi, please wait a while, the villain will go to report to Master Fu."

With that, the guard hurried to the inner courtyard.

After a while, Fu Tianqiu actually greeted him in person.

This can be regarded as a high-standard treatment, after all, the military department Shangshu is an important minister of the imperial court, and there are not many people who can let him personally greet him.

"Hahaha, Gu Jieyuan, this official guessed that you should go to the capital to take the exam soon, hurry, please inside!"

"Adults are busy with official business, and students are bothered. By the way, a small gift is not a tribute......"

Gu Ming handed over a bag of tea.

This is a basic etiquette, no matter whether the gift is expensive or not, in short, it cannot be empty-handed, and this bag of tea is not cheap......

"Gu Xie Yuan is too polite, you can come to the mansion, it's too late for the official to welcome you."

Entering the inner hall, Yahuan had already made tea and put it on the table, and also placed some fruits, pastries and the like.

Of course, these are also out of hospitality, and most visitors are embarrassed to talk and eat snacks at the same time, which is a sign of disrespect.

Unless you are very familiar with each other, or a gathering of relatives and friends.

"Gu Jieyuan, looking at your dusty appearance, didn't you just arrived in the capital today?"

"Yes, Master Fu, the matter is urgent, Xiaosheng will get straight to the point."

"Oh?" Fu Tianqiu raised his eyebrows: "I don't know what important matter Gu Xie Yuan has?" ”

"That's the case, Xiaosheng passed through Dafeng County and found that there was a demon incident in the city, but when he checked it, he pulled out an intelligence organization from the Western Regions......"

"Intelligence organization?"

"Yes, this organization is very cunning and knows that the capital is strictly investigated, so it has set up a stronghold on the outskirts of the city.

They go around making friends and courting people or businessmen, so that they can help collect information from all sides......"

"What a gut!"

Fu Tianqiu couldn't help but shoot the case indignantly.

"My lord, these aliens have always been wolf ambitions, and they have to be guarded against.

Because of the importance of the matter, Xiao Sheng hurried to the capital to inform the adults......"

Next, Gu Ming explained the situation of Zhana in detail, including the relationship between the Wei family and the organization.

Fu Tianqiu couldn't help but clench his fists and said: "Thank you Gu Xie Yuan for telling me such important information, you sit down for a while, and this official will go to repair a letter to inform Lord Yang now......"

……

Soldiers are fast.

This time, the efficiency of the imperial court was unexpectedly fast.

That night, Dafeng County completely changed.

All the officers and soldiers on duty at the four gates were controlled or taken over by the officers and soldiers from the capital.

Hundreds of other elite soldiers quietly entered the city in several batches.

Qunfang Building.

Just as the singing and dancing were leveling, a large group of officers and soldiers suddenly came to surround him.

The old mother was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she stepped forward with the courage to smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, is there any misunderstanding, our Qunfanglou has always been ......"

Before she could finish speaking, the leading officer slapped her and shouted, "Take it!" ”

"Yes!"

The two soldiers responded in unison, and immediately stepped forward like a tiger and a wolf to lock the old mother.

"Go in and search, but all suspicious people will be taken down, and if there is resistance, kill them on the spot!"

"Obey!"

The sound shook the sky, frightening the girls and guests in the building and hiding in all directions.

At the same time, the Wei family.

"Master, no, there are a lot of officers and soldiers outside."

A subordinate stumbled into a side room in the inner courtyard to report outside.

"Officers and soldiers?"

The head of the Wei family was shocked, and hurriedly walked out of the house with a knife.

"Who led the team?"

"No...... I don't know ......."

As soon as he heard this, Wei Xiu faintly felt a little bad.

Judging from the relationship between the Wei family and the government, it is impossible for officers and soldiers to come to the door to find trouble for some reason.

When he was suspicious, there was already a sound of killing and a shout outside: "Listen to the people of the Wei family, you and others are fornicating with foreign races, the evidence is conclusive, persuade you and others to be arrested, otherwise you will die!" ”

At this time, Wei Xiu finally understood that the matter had been revealed.

It is impossible to be captured, because he knows in his heart that once he is caught, he will be killed, so it is better to kill a bloody way.

The Wei family started by operating a dart shop, and naturally there are many disciples in the family who know martial arts.

This is also the confidence of Wei Xiu to dare to resist.

"Everyone, kill me!"

Wei Xiu roared loudly, and at the same time viciously brandished his knife and jumped onto the roof, trying to break through the air.

Who knows......

"Boom, boom, boom......"

As soon as he got to the roof, he came back to his senses when a dense sound of breaking the air came, and it was instantly shot into a hedgehog.

This is not an ordinary bow and arrow, but a special strong crossbow equipped by the forbidden army in the capital.

Although the range is not as good as that of bows and arrows, it is light and easy to carry, and can be fired in bursts, and the lethality is quite strong in a small area.

As soon as Wei Xiu died, the dragons were suddenly leaderless.

The disciples of the Wei family fell into a panic, their morale was lost, and they were even more defeated and retreated, and they died, surrendered, and captured.

On the other hand, the county government was also controlled.

The reason why the Wei family is so unscrupulous is not unrelated to the officials of the Yamen.

Just as a group of officers and soldiers were arresting everywhere, Gu Ming followed two black shadows over the city wall and walked out of the city like a ghost in the night.

Even Zana didn't know about the existence of these two people, after all, her status in the organization was not high, but it was provided by Balu.

This guy was cut off by Gu Ming, and the meridians were abolished by Zana again, in case this guy was trapped in a beast fight.

So, what else does Balu have on his mind?

Just want to die quickly.

It's just that it's not so easy for him to die.

At the very least, before you die, you have to go through a period of despair and pain that is worse than death.

……

More than ten miles away from Dafeng County, there is a deserted ravine and ravine.

Gu Ming followed the two fish that slipped through the net all the way to this place.

The two people from the Western Regions were very careful, and after entering the ravine, they actually ran in two directions, one left and one right.

Gu Ming lacked skills, so he could only choose a target at random and continue to follow.

The other party didn't know whether he noticed that someone was following him or was too careful, so he actually started to go around in circles.

But this is also good, but it gives Gu Ming a chance to familiarize himself with the environment here.

After about half an hour, the bearded man from the Western Regions ran to a gentle slope on the west side of the valley.

After following for another while, Gu Ming suddenly found a broken stone tablet in the grass, which seemed to be hundreds of thousands of years old and had been corroded by the wind and moon.

However, the two words engraved on it can still be vaguely recognized: General.

There is only the upper half of the stele, and it is obvious that the handwriting is incomplete.

"General?"

Gu Ming was a little puzzled.

Could it be a place name? General Mountain? General Gang?

Because most of the people like to use the names, titles, deeds, or allusions of some local big people as place names, it is a kind of honor or face project.

Continuing to walk up the hillside, a small dilapidated temple suddenly appeared in front of me.

The bearded man from the Western Regions paused and looked around, then quickly entered the temple.

Gu Ming didn't immediately catch up, and continued to hide in the dark to observe.

As expected, after a short while, the bearded man came out again and continued to look around......

"What an old fox!"

Gu Ming couldn't help but sigh secretly.

After the other party went in again, Gu Ming waited for another cup of tea before quietly approaching the broken temple.

When I got closer, I found that there were words engraved on the top of the broken temple, although the weathering was terrible, but I could also recognize the handwriting: General Temple.

At this time, Gu Ming finally understood the origin of the stone tablet below.

Temple, in the earliest times, originally referred to the place where ancestors were worshipped, which was later called the ancestral hall.

Later, Buddhism flourished, and monasteries are generally called temples.

However, a temple can be called a temple, but a temple is not necessarily a temple.

For example, the Land Temple, although the Land Lord is located in the Netherworld, he is also a Taoist immortal who is listed as an immortal.

There is also the Taimiao, which is generally a place for the royal family to worship the ancestors of the past dynasties.

There are also many small temples among the people, which are used to worship some gods in the minds of the local people.

Presumably, this general was a big man in the minds of the people back then, so he made a special trip to build a temple for him......
