Catching Li Ding was the goal of everyone present, and Zhou You's words naturally caused a lot of shock. <

The old man of the black soil suddenly looked at him and said, "Since there is already Li Ding's whereabouts, why haven't you caught anyone yet?" ”

Wang Yue's face changed and he bowed and replied: "Please check the Protector of the Country, the subordinate generals have done their best, but there is a shortage of manpower at the moment, and the subordinates are planning to ask for reinforcements, and they don't want the Protector to arrive." ”

Hearing Wang Yue's words, the old man of the black soil turned pale and said, "This is your reason!" Obviously, Wang Yue's answer made him very dissatisfied.

The old man of the black soil immediately glanced left and right, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "As far as I know, there are no less than fifty martial artists in the Light Imperial Spirit Realm under your subordinates, and there are seven or eight martial artists in the Ming Mind Realm, and it is not enough to catch a stinky boy from the Tongyuan Realm." ”

"If you don't catch someone, you still have to ask for reinforcements, didn't the avant-garde general receive an order to secretly carry out this matter?

The old man of the black soil and Zhou You sang and harmonized as if they had discussed it in advance, making Wang Yue clench his teeth and about to explain, Ji Kun suddenly said: "How do you want to do it secretly? However, there is one thing that Lao Yu is very curious, Li Ding has escaped from the hands of Master Zhou twice, presumably Master Zhou must have accumulated some experience in arresting, can you say it and share it. ”

Ji Kun is not angry for no reason, you must know that although Wang Yue himself has made a big mistake, he is a royal general after all, and it is understandable to question Wang Yue as the old man of the black soil to protect the country. However, although Zhou You is the chief alchemist of the Divine Beast Sect, he does not belong to the people in the royal family's 'Medicine Palace', but is only a sect alchemist who has a relationship with the royal family. Although the status of the seven-rank alchemist is noble, it is a taboo to accuse a royal general like this.

Zhou You's face turned pale, and he instantly realized that he had said it, you must know that in the matter of Li Ding, he was also at fault first, if he hadn't gone to Chenjia Village alone, he wouldn't have let Li Ding and Liu Ling escape. After that, the arrest of Li Ding in Gusang City was missed again. Such a big mistake, if it weren't for his identity as an alchemist, plus the mediation of the old man of the black soil. Letting Li Ding escape twice was enough for him to die dozens of times.

Zhou You can be said to be a guilty body, and it is a great luck to be able to appear here at this time. In the face of Ji Kun, whose power and prestige were second only to the king of Nanming, he did not dare to fight-for-tat, and secretly retreated behind the old man of the black soil and stopped talking. This made Wang Yue's subordinates secretly sneer, but it was inconvenient to show it.

Ji Kun and the old man of the black soil are both first-class officials in the Southern Ming Kingdom. are all identities above ten thousand under one person. But there has always been discord, the reason is that the old man of the black soil and his gang are too convinced of the alchemists outside the king, although the importance of the elixir to the cultivators does not need to be said, but allowing the foreign alchemists to participate in some confidential matters has always been something he strongly opposes.

If Zhou You hadn't missed this time, Li Ding would not have escaped, and he would not have been so tired that Wang Yue committed the crime of dereliction of duty and almost lost an arm, although all things could not be forcibly linked together, but it also deepened Ji Kun's prejudice against Zhou You and others.

Ji Kun's words were clearly aimed at Zhou You. His eyes looked at the old man of the black soil, and the meaning could not be clearer. It is the one who wants the old man of the black soil to take care of himself. No matter how special Zhou You's identity is, he must know restraint in front of him Ji Kun.

The old man of the black soil naturally heard the meaning of Ji Kun's words, but he said to Wang Yue again: "Wang Yue, you are also a guilty body now, don't think that with the protection of the Taishi, you can be passive and do whatever you want, if you miss a big matter, I will see how you explain to the king." ”

Ji Kun sneered and said: "Didn't you hear what I said before, you have the ability to go into the valley and pull Li Ding out by yourself, no one will rob you of this skill." ”

As soon as Ji Kun's voice fell, one of the three middle-aged men behind the old man of the black soil stepped forward and said, "A hairy boy from the Tongyuan Realm, Master He Lao will make a move, and the three of my brothers will go down." ”

The three middle-aged men with somewhat similar appearances were burly, and they gave people a sense of oppression before they used their vitality, but as soon as these words came out, the people on Wang Yue's side could no longer suppress the displeasure in their hearts, and they all showed disdain.

This subtle change did not escape the eyes of the three middle-aged men, you must know that these three brothers are still triplets of the same milk compatriots, the strength of the late Ming heart, and at the same time have the high-grade thunder attribute vitality, and naturally have the ability to sense each other's thoughts, if the three of them use a small vitality array, not only is the power huge, but they can also better complement each other when performing martial arts, and they completely have the strength to cross the level against the enemy.

Just saying that they can follow the old man of the black soil, it shows that the strength of these three brothers is extraordinary, seeing the disdain of everyone, the three brothers are naturally displeased, and the old man of the black soil can't help but look at him.

"Hehe......" Ji Kun sneered and said: "The three brothers of the Ruan family are so big, although the three of you are born with special abilities, and you can compete with the martial artists of the Soul Gathering Realm together, but unfortunately don't talk about your strength in the later stage of Mingxin, even if the old man of the black soil personally takes action, it is in vain to want to capture Li Ding with his own hands." ”

"Hmph. The old man of the black soil also snorted coldly and said, "What does the Taishi mean by this, could it be that the kid has already escaped from this valley?"

In an instant, the atmosphere became tense. Seeing this, Wang Yue opened his mouth and said: "Please Zuo Protector to calm his anger, the Taishi has no other meaning, but the Protector doesn't know yet, there is actually an enchantment hidden under this valley, and the prohibition above only allows the Imperial Spirit Realm and the people below it to enter." ”

Wang Yue knew that he was guilty, and he didn't want to see Ji Kun and the old man of the black soil discord for his own sake, so he was willing to swallow his anger and be a peacemaker, so he told the truth of the matter. After hearing his words, the old man of the black soil raised his eyebrows, and the three brothers of the Ruan family also showed doubts on their faces.

When he heard that the fourth prince Yi Kaiming was actually in the enchantment, the old man of the black soil was also anxious, but he was also helpless.

"If there is such a thing, can't you break the ban?" asked the old man of the black soil. As he spoke, he closed his eyes, but soon opened his eyes and said, "It's so weird, it can actually block my divine sense from probing." ”

Ji Kun sneered and shook his head, "Do you know how this enchantment is generated, and you wouldn't have dreamed that the following is the location of the tomb of a Heaven Opening Realm powerhouse." ”

"What?" was the same as when everyone heard the news. The old man of the black soil also widened his eyes in shock, but he immediately calmed down, and suddenly turned back to Zhou You and said, "Master Zhou." Where did that kid come from?"

Zhou You was also taken aback when he heard the news, and was suddenly asked by the old man of the black soil, and couldn't help but tremble and said: "The adult has already probed Liu You's memory with the power of the soul, and he should know that for this kid, I know a little bit." ”

"Damn, a kid from the Yuan Realm would make such trouble. The old man of the black soil scolded. Because from Liu Yi's memory. He only got a little information about Li Ding, and he didn't know Li Ding's origin at all.

Here, the messenger who had been listening was puzzled. Finally, he couldn't help but speak: "Lord Protector Guogong, the lowly position is not in the right place to speak in front of the adults, but the lowly position has something unclear and has to be asked." ”

The old man of the black soil was angry, but when he heard this, he immediately calmed down and said, "Say something quickly." ”

The messenger said: "I heard the adults mention it several times just now that Li Ding's strength is only in the Tongyuan Realm. But according to the information obtained by the lowly office. The kid found in the enchantment was a Ning Yuan Realm martial artist, and it was said that his appearance was very different from Li Ding, and he was not a person at all. ”

These words made Wang Yue stunned, and he turned his head to look at the messenger, not knowing why the messenger would say such a thing. But the messenger was Wang Yue's old general, and Wang Yue had to choose to believe his words.

While he was thinking about it, the old man of the black soil said calmly: "As Master Zhou just said, it is impossible to find a second martial artist in this world who has both thunder and wood qi. There is no doubt about this, according to the news reported by Duan Hu. That kid had just arrived at the Ning Yuan Realm suddenly, and it should have been during the period of entering Qianren Mountain, but I almost forgot about it. ”

On the side, Zhou You interjected: "When that kid escaped from Gusang City, there was a Xuankong Realm powerhouse by his side, and this kid's breakthrough had nothing to do with this person." As for the appearance, there are not a few pills that temporarily change the appearance. ”

"Coupled with the fact that he was able to discover such a secret enchantment, that kid was really a little out of the ordinary besides luck. Ji Kun said.

In a few words, it was even more certain that the young man found in the enchantment was Li Ding, and Wang Yue couldn't help but say: "In this way, in case that kid escapes from the enchantment, although the surveillance in the air cannot be taken lightly, a few people can also be drawn." ”

As he spoke, Wang Yue immediately ordered to go down. Soon, a few flying spirit beasts hovering in the air descended, and several Imperial Spirit Realm martial artists and messengers re-entered the enchantment, responsible for informing them of the situation in the enchantment at any time.

After Wang Yue finished his order, the old man of the black soil said: "This place is far away from the royal city, and I also know the realm of the officers and soldiers of the Yulong Pass garrison, why this situation does not use the 'communication stone' to report in time, and I can bring enough people before I come." ”

Wang Yue said: "This ...... Since it was rumored that the kid had used the space jade to escape, his subordinates had ordered someone to use the Yuan Qi Array to block the space in this area, so the communication stone could not be used here, and the Zuo Protector should have noticed it along the way. ”

The old man of the black soil nodded and said, "You still have the foresight. ”

As he spoke, he took out a crystal ball from the spirit ring in his hand and said behind him: "Ruan Da, use my communication stone to send a message to the periphery of the blockade circle to send the general, and I will send all the martial artists of the Spirit Realm who can be dispatched." ”

The crystal ball is almost exactly the same as the crystal ball that was transmitted after Wang Meng was seriously injured, and it was invented and manufactured by the spirit clan living in the extremely cold land using a special crystal material. There is a special frequency between the receiving spars in different places and the paired communication stones, and the communication stones are disposable items and cannot be reused.

"Yes. After receiving the communication stone, Ruan Da answered, and the thunder under his feet flashed into the air and flew away from the mountain.

A hint of strange color flashed in Wang Yue's eyes, although he was inferior to Ji Kun and the old man of the black soil in terms of position and strength, but after all, he was in charge of everything before, even if he wanted to make a contribution, he didn't want others to interfere. Wang Yue had some objections to the old man's approach, but he said: "It's the subordinates who are not doing things well, and they want to alarm the general." ”

The army of the Southern Ming royal family had avant-garde generals, janissary generals and great generals. The avant-garde general and the janissary general belong to the third-level official positions, the avant-garde general is in charge of the conquest and border affairs, the janissary general is responsible for the domestic stationing of the rebellion and the protection of the royal city, and the general belongs to the second-level official position, and the power is lower than that of the old man of the black soil, but it must be held by the royal family, with a separate army, although the number of troops is not large, only in the hundreds, but the realm of the army warriors is at least in the realm of the imperial spirit, and the combat power is not an opponent even if the avant-garde army and the janissary army combined.

Hearing Wang Yue's words, the old man of the black soil said with a straight face: "You are the person who was promoted by the Taishi, although I have always been at odds with the Taishi, but it is just a political difference, and everything is said on the surface, you didn't expect it to have developed to this point, not to mention that the fourth prince is also in it, and the general is also to protect everything, and there is no special intention for you,." ”

Wang Yue had to bow his head and say yes, after Ji Kun was surprised for a moment, he just sneered and did not refute, the old man of the black soil said such a thing, which was more or less in line with his meaning, as for the other Ji Kun There is no need to say anything at this time.

Here, when Wang Yue talked about the space jade slip before, Zhou You on the side couldn't help but have a sinking face, but Wang Yue's words didn't mean anything directly at him, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Ji Kun anymore, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, and couldn't help but say with a look in his eyes: "By the way, when the avant-garde general talked about the space jade slip just now, I remembered one thing."
