Just as Shi Yijian's thoughts were galloping, at this time, a person wearing a black skull robe, a black skull hat, and a demon king's sword slaying entered the hall, this person was the supreme commander of the Ten Palaces of Yama, Senluo Envoy.
"Master."
Shi Yijian raised his hand to excuse him, "Say it." โ
"The subordinates were ordered to chase and kill Situ Nanyun and others, and after several difficult battles, Situ Nanyun and Xu Xifeng and others were besieged in the area of Qianchao Mountain, the two were seriously injured and had been forced to jump off the ethereal cliff, the ethereal cliff is thousands of feet deep, and these two people should have no chance of survival. However, this time our side also suffered heavy losses, Zuo Diantang and Zuo Patrol died in this battle, and," Speaking of this, Sen Luo paused, "The eldest lady did not listen to the dissuasion, insisted on standing on the same front with the two of them, and died in ...... Left hall under the palm of the power of thunder. โ
"Situ Nanyun, that demon girl is hard-hitting, you send someone down to check, you must make sure that she is dead." Shi Yijian directly skipped Shi Yu'er, and there was still a look of doubt in his eyes.
"My subordinates have sent people to the edge of the cliff, but the cliff is unusually steep, and the wind on the edge of the cliff is very strong, so we can't go down easily. Sen Luo said.
"Then think again." Shi Yijian lowered his head and took a sip of tea, a little understatement.
"There is another matter in the subordinates, and I feel it is necessary to inform the master." Envoy Sen Luo continued.
"Say it." Shi Yijian glanced at him.
"The patrol envoy actually died not at the hands of Situ Nanyun and others, but at the hands of our own people." After Sen Luo finished speaking, he looked up at Shi Yijian's face that gradually turned gloomy.
"What the hell is going on?" Shi Yijian raised his eyes, and a beam of cold light swept over.
"When our people were besieging Situ Nanyun and the three of them, a black-clothed masked man appeared, his skills were above the patrol messenger, and he was familiar with the operation of the poison demon car, and rescued the three of them.
Shi Yijian's fingers gradually clenched, and the green tendons on his fingers were exposed, "Can you find out who this person is?" โ
"According to the investigation of the subordinates, there are no more than four people who can kill the patrol envoy and operate the poison demon car, that is, the left and right palace envoys, the left and right Rakshasa envoys, and the left hall is dead, and the right hall is in the palace, only the left and right Rakshasa envoys are left, and these two subordinates also have investigations, and both of them have alibi evidence, so the subordinates are currently unable to find out the thief." Sen Luo made a slight uneasy look on his face.
"I know, keep staring at the left and right rakshasas, no matter who he is, this inner ghost must be found out, otherwise, you are the only one who asks." Shi Yijian looked at him warningly.
"The subordinates receive the order, and the subordinates retire." Sen Luo agreed and withdrew.
"Wait, where is the body of the eldest lady?" Shi Yijian stopped him.
"I've been sent to the Lingxiao Courtyard." Senroe replied.
After Sen Luo left, Shi Yijian's face was gloomy, and a touch of hatred rose in his eyes, "Yu'er, you are to blame for all this, if you hadn't betrayed me for a man and betrayed the devil, how would you have died so early?" โ
"It's foolish to sacrifice yourself for the sake of your feelings! Feelings are the least reliable thing, only the right to hold in your hands is the most reliable! But you don't understand, and you're as stubborn as your mother Nan Piaoling. He sneered, and then there was a look of hatred that iron does not make steel.
A guard came in and reported, "Master, the prisoner tiger wants to see you." โ
Shi Yijian restrained his expression and waved his hand, "Let him in." โ
"The imprisoned tiger has seen the old master." Humanity that came in.
"No courtesy." Shi Yijian raised his hand.
"Yesterday, the imprisoned dragon discussed the details of the palace with the old master, this is according to the old master's opinion after readjusting the deployment, drawing a troop deployment map and a mechanism setting map, please take a look." After the prisoner finished speaking, he handed over the sketch.
"So many troops have been withdrawn here?" Shi Yijian's gaze fixed on one place for a few seconds, and his eyes swept towards him.
"The emperor said that the people inside are no longer valuable, and he doesn't plan to stay." Prison Tiger explained.
Shi Yijian pointed his finger at that place, and his tone was unquestionable, "Whether this person lives or not, this place must be guarded." โ
"The imprisoned tiger doesn't understand what the old master means." Prison Tiger looked puzzled.
"Fengzong and the Five Princes have been looking for the whereabouts of this person, I believe they must have expected that this person is in this palace, they will definitely come, this is the focus of their attack, so the deployment of troops here not only cannot be withdrawn, but also has to be heavily armed, so that they can be annihilated in one fell swoop." The corners of Shi Yijian's mouth were hooked, and his eyes were as bright as knives.
"It's still the old master." Prisoner Tiger complimented.
After Yan Yujun listened to his report, although there was still an unwilling look on his face, after all, Shi Yijian was thoughtful and nodded, "Then do it according to the Taishi's wishes." โ
On the second day, in the Tianyou Palace, Shi Yijian listened to the report of his subordinates, with a touch of thought between his eyebrows.
"Are you saying that the people of the Wind Sect have suddenly lost their sights in the last few days, and they are no longer staring at the demonic territory?"
"Yes, they seem to have disappeared."
"Are there any other changes in Yandu City?"
"No, but a few more rebel armies have popped up to make trouble everywhere."
"There is no doubt that this is the operation of the Feng Sect people behind the scenes."
"These people are all some rabble, and the Feng Sect will recruit these people when they are cornered."
"The new emperor has just ascended the throne, you can't let these mobs disturb and make trouble, you keep an eye on them, and send out the people of the city defense camp to exterminate these people."
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
After the man retreated, Shi Yijian's eyebrows continued to be suspicious, "The Feng Sect must really be plotting something, they won't find some useless people in order to expand their strength, what are their intentions?" โ
After pondering for a moment, a grim smile appeared on his face, "I see, it seems that they are about to act." โ
At dawn, the palace was shrouded in night, and all around it was silent, except for the sound of a gust of wind blowing from time to time before it had yet to sleep.
At the northeast gate of the palace, there was a slight sound, followed by the sound of small footsteps rubbing against the ground.
Someone still woke up and shouted, "What person? โ
With this shout, a torch suddenly lit up in the darkness, and the torches seemed to be relayed, stringing up a fire dragon, and illuminating the surroundings like the sun.
Without saying a word, the other group of men in the darkness attacked, and the two groups of men and horses fought fiercely.
While these two groups of people were fighting, a group of people secretly avoided their sight and ran directly in the direction of Qixian Palace, but this group of people who entered again naturally encountered resistance, and the sound of swords came clearly in the silent night.
Yan Yuchi, Zhu Rongyu, and Aoki, who were hiding in another place, heard the sound of these two groups of people fighting, and the time was ripe for them to understand each other, and it was time for them to go out.
They jumped out of their figures and quietly slipped into the Qixian Palace, but for the sake of safety, they were dressed as ordinary palace guards at this time.
The three of them hid in a cluster of lush bamboo, Yan Yuchi took out the night pearl, and said according to a map: "The entrance to the underground secret room should be in these three locations, the entrance of the main hall is directly controlled by Yan Yujun, we can't easily enter, but the other two entrances are in the east and west side halls, and it is relatively easy to start, I have already investigated the east side hall, and there are more guards guarding the small garden in the courtyard than in ordinary places, I estimate that the entrance is in the small garden, and the west side has not been found yet, so let's start with the east side hall." โ
"It's heavily guarded inside, so it's best to divert some people so that it's easier to start." Zhu Rongyu looked around and smelled a dense defensive smell.
"I have a solution." Yan Yuchi then attached himself to the ears of the two and said.
"It's a good way to lure the snake out of the hole." Zhu Rongyu and Aoki couldn't help but nod.
"Oh no, someone from the Wind Sect has invaded outside." A shout rang out abruptly outside the east side hall.
As soon as this voice fell, a large number of people poured out of the temple, and when they saw the shouting man, they said, "Where are they?" โ
"Right outside in the garden, where the sound of fighting comes from." The person who shouted was Aoki, and he was a little flustered at this time.
When everyone heard this, sure enough, there was the sound of swords connecting in front of them.
However, the leader was still very alert, listened attentively for a while, and turned his gaze to him, "Who are you, I don't seem to have seen you." โ
"I was on duty at the gate of the palace, and today I heard that the people of the Wind Sect would attack the palace, so the upper authorities temporarily sent us over to guard the Qixian Palace, but the guards we came to meet the people of the Wind Sect and lost most of them, and I finally escaped." Aoki replied a little timidly.
The man's eyes fixed on his face for a few seconds, "You guys follow me to the front garden, and you guys stay in the side hall." โ
So a large group of men and horses followed the man towards the garden, and some of the remaining people muttered in confusion, "It's all in the east side of the hall, why is there not even a sound alarm outside, it's true." โ
"Don't be verbose, be optimistic about your position, don't let the people of the Wind Sect break in easily." The other leader criticized, and when he saw that the crowd was still standing, he shouted, "Let's go, go in." โ
Aoki followed them into the hall, and took the opportunity to look around the hall and found that there were many mechanisms set up, and he remembered them one by one.
"Why are you still stunned there, don't go in with me." The man saw that Aoki was grinding, his body did not move for a long time, and a cold light swept over.
"Oh, come on, I'm not familiar with this place." Aoki is cowardly and authentic.
"Come with me to the little garden inside." The man frowned.
This played into his arms, and he let out an "oh" and followed.
Aoki followed the group through several corridors and several houses, and then arrived at a small garden in the inner courtyard, where the group stopped around and did not move.
Yan Yuchi had already told him that this garden was very likely to be the entrance to Shi Mi Dao, and he didn't dare to slack off, and after carefully examining every place, he found something strange in the pavilion.
There are stone tables and no stone chairs in the gazebo, and the gazebo has been built for many years, and the appearance is a little old, but the stone table is smooth as new, which is unreasonable.
"Maybe that's the entrance to the secret passage?" He was overjoyed.
