The section from the Xuanren Gate in the east of the East Palace to the north of Qinghuafang was blocked by countless armored sergeants early in the morning.

The sudden road ban naturally made many people talk in private, and when the tax silver was looted, it happened to be night, so there were not too many people who saw the nine-headed demon dragon.

Wuhou was strictly forbidden to pass on the scene he had seen last night, but no one was sure how long this ban would last.

"Judging by this claw, we've never seen such a huge monster before."

Jing Liang snorted at the paw, the paw prints almost the size of a courtyard house, three feet deep, the entire street had been completely destroyed, and the masonry had been lifted to reveal the broken structure inside.

Tang Yun looked around, behind this was the Imperial City, although the Shendu Mansion and Sixing Temple were both checked, but the edge of the Imperial City was always quiet. Even when surveying the site, everything is quiet and orderly. On the imperial wall, the forbidden army held bows and arrows in their hands, emitting a cold cold light.

Tang Yun suddenly caught a glimpse of the floor tiles not far away, and there seemed to be a trace of blood that had not been erased.

Jing Liang explained: "At that time, Right Xiaowei was escorting the Guangdong tax silver in Lingnan Road, and when the tax silver was counted, the demon dragon fell from the sky. This group of right-hand guards also died under the dragon's claws. ”

This place has been cleaned up, but perhaps because there is too much blood, it was not cleaned up in the first place.

Tang Yun saw an acquaintance here, Lu Pengyuan, the general of the Right Xiaowei. Lu Pengyuan was not wearing armor, and only came wearing a wide robe. Seeing his sad appearance, it seemed that he was extremely annoyed.

Tang Yun knew what he was worried about, the army of the Western Expedition was not going well, and it had already made the empress angry. In addition, the Great Zhou army suffered a major defeat at the beginning, and the Niu family of the military gate for generations was raided and wiped out, and he inevitably felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. Coupled with the fact that hundreds of sergeants were killed by the demon dragon, everything was enough for him to worry about.

Seeing Tang Yun coming, Lu Pengyuan hurriedly caught up.

"Brother Tang, you have to help my brother in this matter!" Lu Pengyuan grabbed Tang Yun's shoulders and said earnestly.

Tang Yun waved his hand and said: "Brother Peng Yuan is polite, there is a monster making trouble in the capital, and it is also my duty to take it down." I heard that you came here just after the morning court, what did you find? ”

Lu Pengyuan sighed, pointed to the pestle that was still gathering the bones, and said: "I think Brother Tang knows the general situation, alas, the one hundred and twenty leopard riders who escorted the tax silver are all the elite of my right guard, it's a pity!" When I first arrived, the flesh hadn't been cleaned yet. They must have been killed by a single blow, even the armor was broken, how much strength do you say that youkai must have. ”

Tang Yun frowned: "One hundred and twenty people, no less." Judging from this paw print, even if this claw is completely photographed, it is impossible to kill so many people at once. ”

Lu Pengyuan pointed to the ground: "You see this street, this was uncovered by that monster, in order to kill my subordinates." ”

The dragon clasped its claws on the ground and slashed in one direction. All the sergeants were unsteady on their feet and were caught in the masonry. Then the demon dragon crushed down with its claws, just like a face, and with that press, everyone was suddenly shattered. ”

When Lu Pengyuan spoke, there was a hint of ruthlessness in his tone.

What he described was actually deduced from some traces of the scene by the countless catches of the Shendu Mansion.

"Who were the witnesses that night?"

Tang Yun put his hand in the pit of the footprints, it had just rained a few days ago, and the soil under the stone bricks was still a little wet. Originally, it was not visible from the surface, but the demon dragon opened the street, just turning out the soil under the stone bricks.

There is a smell of grass in the dark soil, and such streets are usually tamped and difficult to uncover. It can only be said that the strength of the demon dragon is really unimaginable.

Lu Pengyuan said: "There were a lot of people who saw it at that time, and the forbidden army on duty should have seen it." However, they wanted to defend the imperial city, so they didn't go over to take a closer look. I only saw the shadow of the demon dragon, and as for those martial marquis, most of them were also cruising around the streets, and they couldn't come over. It was the one who escorted the tax money, and one of the leopard riders survived......"

……

Fu Zhuo's eyes were a little empty, and he sat on a stone pier in a daze. Accompanied by several officials from the Shendu Mansion, a head catcher recorded in a book with a pen that he had just experienced an interrogation here.

The door was pushed open, and Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan walked in at the same time.

Fu Zhuo's eyes were a little confused, although he didn't recognize Lu Pengyuan in his regular clothes, but he saw the embroidered python brocade on Tang Yun's body, and hurriedly stood up.

Tang Yun motioned for Fu Zhuo to sit down and speak.

"That dragon definitely saw me." When Fu Zhuo spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, but his gaze was not at the person, but glanced around.

"I saw its nine heads, and its eyes seemed to be looking at me. I was so frightened that all of them were gone, so I hid behind a tree. Later, I saw that the demon dragon had sucked all the carriages into its body, and some of the wooden boxes that had been opened were also swallowed into its stomach. ”

Lu Pengyuan patted Fu Zhuo's shoulder: "Don't worry, you can say boldly, this monster is different, no one will blame you if you escape." ”

Great Zhou Law, if the army is attacked, those who flee without permission will be beheaded!

He survived the entire escorted leopard rider alone, and there were waves of interrogations in the morning. There was no way for Fu Zhuo not to tell the truth, and in front of those headhunters with amazing insight, it was far better to tell the truth than to tell lies.

Fu Zhuo gradually relaxed, and the two people in front of him didn't look very old, but they didn't have the evil aura on the head of the Shendu Mansion.

Fu Zhuo is very young, and what he encountered yesterday is enough for him to remember for the rest of his life.

Tang Yun asked, "You say, this demon dragon just swallowed those silvers, didn't he eat people?" ”

Fu Zhuo shook his head: "No, this demon dragon only ate the carriage, and the general was killed by the demon dragon, but it was not eaten by it." ”

"The pestle of the Shendu Mansion has just spliced together the corpse, and there is indeed no less." Lu Pengyuan added next to him.

Jing Liang stroked his beard and said in surprise: "This is strange, the big demon we usually meet, the eyes of the people we see are red." With such a huge monster, human flesh should have a fatal attraction to it, and there is no reason not to eat the delicious food in the mouth. ”

Tang Yun took a notebook from the head catcher, which clearly recorded the clues that had been investigated so far.

It's clear and straightforward, but there are too few clues.

The demon dragon seemed to appear out of thin air.

Tang Yun suddenly raised his head and asked the headcatcher, "In which direction did the demon dragon fly away?" ”

"To the north, it was seen by the Marquis of Qinghuafang. However, the whereabouts of the demon dragon are erratic, although it flew away from the north, but unlike people, it is above the sky, but it is difficult to catch traces, so the subordinates did not make a record. Headcatcher explained.

Jing Liang said: "My lord, do we still want to catch this dragon, one is flying in the sky, the other is running on the ground, we can't catch it." ”

"Do you want silver?" Tang Yun said suddenly.

Jing Liang was puzzled: "My lord, what does this mean?" ”

"The silver is for human use, and even if the dragon pulls away all the tax money from the carriage, it will not be able to spend it."

Tang Yun said firmly: "This dragon will definitely show its feet." If the person behind the command can drive such a huge monster and just let it pull away the silver, it would be too much of a fuss! ”
