Chapter 492: Coup d'état
Three days later, Chen Tianci gave up his search for the people in Bluewater City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was no trace.
It was as if everyone had evaporated from the world, without a trace.
Chen Tianci and Luo Qiu followed the clues they found in the aquifer and traced them for three days, only to find an abandoned base hidden deep under the submarine plain. And there, it's full of mutant creatures.
The trail has been completely broken.
And with the failure of this pursuit, the search for the rest of the directions is also clueless.
Chen Tianci rubbed his slightly swollen temples and sat facing Luoqiu.
"There's no way they're going to just evaporate from the world." Chen Tianci said.
"They're suspicious." Luoqiu said, "I need to go back to Purple City." ”
Chen Tianci looked over.
"Purple City has the most complete floating surveillance system. With such a big movement in Bluewater City, there will definitely be something left, and I will only be able to see the complete record when I go back. Luoqiu explained.
"I'll go with you." Chen Tianci said without thinking.
Luoqiu shook his head. "No, I can't. Your current identity has not been clarified, and it will cause a lot of trouble if you show up. She said, "I'll go by myself this time." You continue to follow in other directions, and you may find something that is not necessarily true. ”
"That's hard to say." Chen Tianci shrugged his shoulders.
The collective disappearance of the people in Bluewater City is too bizarre, they have been tracking for so long but have been led to an abandoned base, I am afraid that the clues in other directions are likely to be similar.
The two of them divided the work together. Luo Qiu returned to Purple Gold City on the same day, while Chen Tianci led the team to continue to search for the whereabouts of everyone in Blue Water City.
But no matter what method he and his team used, they were never able to find the whereabouts of the people in Bluewater City. Those tens of millions of people were as if they had never existed, and it was extremely strange.
And a piece of news half a month later also made Chen Tianci have to give up his plan to investigate.
Luoqiu was placed under house arrest.
And the order to put Luo Qiu under house arrest was not given by Shen Ziyi, but a decision made by the royal family of Zijin City.
"What's going on in Purple City?" Chen Tianci asked the person who reported the news.
This man was sent by Luoqiu. He sighed and said, "The sky has changed in Zijin City. The city lord of Shen was deprived of military power and placed under house arrest in the city lord's mansion. ”
"Who did it?" Chen Tianci's eyes narrowed slightly.
"The Wang family." The messenger replied.
"The Wang family?" Chen Tianci frowned slightly. This Wang family held great power in Purple City when Long Bixin was alive. But at that time, Long Bixin was very confident, and many areas needed the help of the Wang family, so he did not carry out the clearance. I never thought that the accident happened so suddenly, Long Bixin was suddenly killed, and Shen Ziyi was ordered to be in danger.
However, the power of the Wang family was not weakened by the change of city lords. After Shen Ziyi ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the political situation, he still maintained the pattern of Long Bixin's life.
"On what grounds did the Wang family launch the coup d'état?" Chen Tianci asked.
"Qingjun's side." The messenger replied.
"They decided that you," the messenger said, glancing at Chen Tianci, Chen Tianci signaled that it was okay, and then he continued, "They believe that you have been able to assassinate you many times because someone is secretly assisting, and the person assisting you must be a high-ranking official in Purple Gold City, so they ask City Lord Shen to thoroughly investigate all the people involved." ”
"And then?" Called the heavens asked.
"Then, they asked for Captain Ye to be recalled for quarantine review. Because he believes that Captain Ye is most likely the key person to assist you in the assassination. He said.
"Ridiculous!" Chen Tianci reprimanded.
"Yes, City Lord Shen also thinks their reasons are ridiculous." He said, "That night, they suddenly took control of the entire City Lord's Mansion and put the City Lord Shen under house arrest. ”
"Is everyone controlled by them?" Chen Tianci asked.
"No," said the messenger, "the Tang family is on the side of the Shen City Lord. Under the orders of the Tang family, the city defense army has blocked the entire Purple Gold City. But the fleet outside Zijin City is on the side of the Wang family. Therefore, the Tang family is now confronting the people of the Wang family, and no one dares to act rashly. Captain Ye asked me to tell you that you must do everything you can to rescue the Shen City Lord. As long as she is out of danger, the Tang family will be able to launch an attack and eliminate the rebellious Wang family's rebellion. ”
Chen Tianci rubbed his brows. Such a rescue mission seems to be daunting. "What about you Captain Ye? How is she now? Chen Tianci asked.
"You can rest assured." The person who reported the message said, "She was held voluntarily. ”
"Voluntarily imprisoned?" Chen Tianci raised his eyebrows, a little ununderstood.
"Yes, she is under house arrest in the City Lord's Mansion." The messenger replied.
Chen Tianci suddenly understood Luoqiu's thoughts. Shen Ziyi is in the hands of the Wang family, so Luoqiu has to personally confirm Shen Ziyi's safety. And the only feasible way is to be captured voluntarily and then taken to Shen Ziyi's side.
"Yes." Chen Tianci said to himself, "With her ability, who can capture her." ”
He said, quickly getting up. "In that case, I'll go back to Purple City with you now." Chen Tianci said.
The person who reported the message had no objection. He came here to convey the signal of Luoqiu's request for help.
Chen Tianci immediately changed his appearance and modified, and hurried to the Purple City with the messenger. The matter of searching for the people of Bluewater City can only be put on hold for the time being.
Chen Tianci hid in the storage compartment of the flying boat for a few days, avoiding the search of the Purple Gold City fleet on the periphery. Soon after, the flying boat finally arrived in Purple City.
After Chen Tianci arrived, he rushed to the garrison of the city defense army as soon as possible. The Purple City City Defense Army has always been in the hands of the Tang family. The current commander-in-chief of the city defense army is none other than Old Man Tang.
When Chen Tianci arrived at the headquarters of the city defense army, Old Man Tang happened to be here.
"You?" The moment Tang Lao saw Chen Tianci, his brows furrowed slightly, "How dare you come here?" ”
Chen Tianci smiled slightly and took a few steps forward.
"Stop!" The guard beside Old Man Tang quickly stepped forward and stopped Chen Tianci.
"It's okay." Old Man Tang waved his hand and signaled that it was okay.
"Donald, do you remember me?" Chen Tianci asked.
"Remember," he said, gesturing to the chair beside him and motioning for Chen Tianci to sit down and speak, "Remember, you're in the limelight now." ”
Chen Tianci smiled bitterly and sat down in front of Donald.
"That's not me." Chen Tianci said.
"Who could it be if it's not you?" Tang Lao glanced at Chen Tianci and began to boil tea on his own.
"If I were that kind of person, I wouldn't have helped save so many people, and I wouldn't have had those things later." Chen Tianci said, "The Dragon City Lord has the grace of knowing me, and it is impossible for me to poison her. That person really wasn't me. ”
Tang Lao raised his head, stared at Chen Tianci's eyes carefully for a while, and nodded. "I believe in you." He said.
"You believe me?" Although Chen Tianci had a faint feeling in his heart, he still couldn't believe it when he heard the other party's direct answer. Since the fake Chen Tianci committed the crime, everyone believes that he is the murderer, and now some people say that they believe that he Chen Tianci is not the murderer, and this kind of news really makes him extremely happy.
"Otherwise, do you think you could have escaped?" Tang Lao smiled faintly and handed Chen Tianci a cup of tea.
