And when Chen Zheng was re-cultivating the exercises.

Outside Lingqiu County, in a small town more than 200 miles.

In the dim secret room, the air seemed to freeze into ice, and the bewitching figure of the five-eyed lady was like a sculpture, sitting in the center of the secret room, motionless.

It can be seen that at this moment, her bewitching face is blue and white, and a layer of surging white frost is condensed between her eyebrows, exuding a persuasive cold from the inside out.

The chill seemed to be blowing from an Arctic glacier, spreading in all directions, so much so that the walls of the chamber were covered with frost.

I don't know how long it took.

Call......

After a long breath, the five-eyed lady opened her eyes, and the blue color on her face and even the white frost on her body had all faded.

And as she breathed, the air swept like a spring breeze, sweeping away the cold air around her.

"It's such an icy aura, it took me so many days to get rid of it......"

Mrs. Wumu slowly got up and said to herself with a sneer:

"I didn't expect Nie Haisheng to start refining with the help of the Heavenly Talisman Condensation, I'm afraid I'm still not this person's opponent, but it's a pity that ......"

Condensing and refining evil is a necessary cultivation step for the realm of the great master of Tiangang, which can condense one's own true qi into Gang and cultivate into a qualitative change.

Generally speaking, only a true Tiangang Realm powerhouse could use such a method, but she could judge that Nie Haisheng seemed to rely on the Heavenly and Human Talisman to condense these two cold ice gangs in another way.

Of course, that is, Nie Haisheng has been immersed in the realm of true martial arts for a long time, and his true qi is incomparably strong and condensed, and she will never be able to do this if she has only been promoted to the realm of true martial arts in the past two years.

After several days of retreat, Mrs. Gomoku moved around and then left the secret room.

The secret room is located in the backyard of a cultural entertainment store. When she came out, she shook the bell, and immediately the shopkeeper was alarmed, and immediately rushed over:

"Madam, are you out of customs?"

Mrs. Wumu nodded slightly: "How is it, how are Qi Gang and them?" ”

The shopkeeper said cautiously: "Not yet, they may still be in Lingqiu County at the moment, I heard the news, Qi Nei made Gu Nei make them successful, although there were casualties, half of the manpower was successfully withdrawn, but they were temporarily trapped in the county." ”

Mrs. Five-Eyed said unhappily:

"I asked you to send someone to find a way to pick it up, but you didn't?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said:

"Don't you know, in the past few days of your retreat, Lingqiu County has been locked down in the whole city, and all the people who enter and exit the city gate have to be searched, and the remaining few people can't enter the city at all, so ......"

Lady Five-Eyed frowned:

"Forget it, I don't blame you, what they have in their hands is quite important, I'll pick them up personally."

The shopkeeper was a little frightened: "Madam, why don't I go with you?" ”

Lady Gome nodded:

"They have been trapped for these days, I don't know what the specific casualties are, you call two good hands, and bring some healing pills, and we will set off in the afternoon."

"Yes."

The shopkeeper didn't say any more, and respectfully retreated.

So a moment later.

After a short bath and rest, the Lady of Five Eyes closed the shop and led the shopkeeper and the two congregants disguised as companions out of the town.

The town is only more than 200 miles away from Lingqiu County, and it can be reached in an hour or two.

By the time the four of them approached the city again, night had already fallen, but the light of the torches on the city wall was continuous, and almost every ten paces were patrolled by the guards of the guards, and the defense was so tight that it was almost impossible to splash water.

Seeing this, when Mrs. Wumu was two or three miles away, she asked her three subordinates to stop on the side of the avenue:

"The city wall is heavily guarded, so if you three can't get in, stay here and prepare to respond."

The shopkeeper and the other three did not dare to be reckless, and they should be respectful.

And after Mrs. Gomu finished speaking, she was like a ghost, and she drifted towards the city.

As the Grandmaster of the Qi Refining Secret Realm, her figure completely blended into the night between her actions, and it was not at all something that ordinary people could capture.

Even when she had come to the city wall, the soldiers with torches at the top of the city were still unaware.

Then the next moment, the soldier's head was dizzy for no apparent reason, and then he stumbled.

Ten steps apart, another soldier suddenly looked at him and asked nervously, "Tiger, what's wrong with you kid?" ”

The soldier called the tiger was completely unknown, so he covered his forehead with a slightly pale face:

"No, it's okay, I don't know if it was blown by the wind or what's wrong, my head was a little dizzy just now......"

"Hey, your kid's body is weak, can't he be squeezed dry by your mother-in-law, right? Look at me and learn a little! ”

"Get out!"

The two soldiers laughed and cursed, and no one took it seriously.

What they didn't notice at all was that a figure had already crossed the city walls and was drifting towards the city.

Since the Flying Centipede attacked the city, there has been a curfew in the city, and there is no one on the street except for the patrolling soldiers.

And the figure of Mrs. Gomu is like a ghost, shuttling through the city without alarming anyone.

As the master of the rudder, she naturally knows the safety points and contact points in the city well.

After a while, she came to an abandoned and remote courtyard, and then went straight to the backyard to find the hidden underground entrance.

After a few rhythmic taps, and after receiving no response, Mrs. Gome frowned slightly, and then forcibly pulled open the iron plate and went underground.

As a result, it was naturally empty, with nothing but herbs wafting through it, the smell of bloody rancidity.

There were still blood-stained bandages scattered on the ground, and after a little look, Mrs. Wumu determined that Qi Gang and the others must have stayed here a few days ago, and they may have encountered something before they transferred.

There was still a safe place in the city where she could hide, and she immediately walked out of the cellar and went to another location.

However.

When she arrived at that safe place, she was shocked to find that it was also empty, and there was not even a trace of Qi Gang and the others staying!

Well?

The five-eyed lady's eyes changed slightly, and doubts appeared in her heart.

According to the information found by his subordinates, it can be determined that Qi Gang, Gu Liangsheng and others have successfully succeeded and have not been captured by the government and the Evil Division.

But there are only these two safe places to hide in the city, and if they are not here, where will they go?

After searching for no clues, she groaned for a moment, left a secret message in two places, and then returned the same way, repeated the trick, and safely crossed the other end of the city wall and went out of the city.

Returning to the place where the three subordinates were ready to respond, the shopkeeper saw that Mrs. Wumu had returned alone, and asked in surprise:

"Madame, did Zine make them?"

"They weren't in a safe spot that I knew they had, maybe they were moved somewhere else by accident."

Mrs. Five-Eyed looked gloomy:

"Now the wind in the city is extremely tight, you have to think of a way to send someone to sneak into the city, find a way to contact them as soon as possible, and then notify me!"

Although he was a little embarrassed, the shopkeeper immediately promised: "Yes!" ”

......

Naturally, I didn't know that Mrs. Gome had actually returned to the city.

After that, Chen Zhengsong, who no longer had to run around every day to search, slowed down, and most of his time and energy were put back on cultivation.

Compared with his ease, as the deadline approached, the supervision department and even the command made Liu Yuanming more and more anxious.

The 10-day period has expired.

This afternoon.

Liu Yuanming, who had a poor face, summoned Chen Zheng alone and went to the government to report on his work.

Chen Zheng was curious, and after asking, he learned that it was Ouyang Ji, the county guard, who had specifically mentioned it when he summoned Liu Yuanming, and he wanted to go with him.

This undoubtedly made Chen Zheng even more surprised, and he didn't know what Ouyang Ji wanted to summon him.

Obviously, hundreds of people in the Supervision Department have found nothing these days, and they are definitely not rewarded for going.

There were no extra words, and the two immediately came to the mansion to ask for a meeting.

In the government office, people came and went, not only the Supervision Department, but also the relevant personnel of the Criminal Arrest Department and the Defense Army.

They are Wu Daorong, the chief arrester of the Criminal Arrest Division, who Chen Zheng had dealt with once when he first came to Lingqiu County, and the other big man in armor is the commander of the defense army, Hong Cheng, who has just been promoted.

After a while, everyone was ushered into a council chamber.

There was no communication between Liu Yuanming's three leading figures, waiting silently, while Chen Zheng was sitting in the corner, hanging high on his business.

"The county keeper has arrived—"

After a while, after a high-pitched singing, Ouyang Ji walked in with his henchmen and staff, with a majestic momentum.

Everyone present immediately saluted in unison:

"I've seen the county keeper."

"No courtesy."

Ouyang Ji waved his hand expressionlessly, sat down on the main seat, and looked around at everyone:

"The ten-day deadline has expired, and you are all the pillars of my Lingqiu County, can you tell me where those demons who intercepted and killed the evil division are now?"

The crowd was silent, speechless.

Ouyang Ji's majestic gaze swept over one by one:

"There are 278 people registered in the Supervision Department, 320 people in the Criminal Arrest Department, and 8,000 officers stationed in the Defense Army.

Liu Yuanming and the other three could only bow their heads and apologize:

"I can't do anything, I am ashamed of the trust of the county guard, and I will be punished."

"Please condemn the county keeper!"

Seeing everyone's attitude, Ouyang Ji's gaze softened slightly:

"The matter of punishment and condemnation, let's discuss it later, now who can tell me, whether those demons are still in the city or not?"

Everyone looked at each other, Hong Cheng groaned, and replied:

"According to the information provided by the Evil Division, the remains of the demons they were robbed of were quite large and inconvenient to carry. In the past few days, we have defended the major city gates of the army, and all sections of the city wall have been strictly guarded, and no abnormalities have been found.

From this, it can be judged that the group of demons is still hiding somewhere in the city, waiting for the opportunity to escape from the city. ”

Liu Yuanming nodded again and again: "Yes, Xia Guan also thinks so." ”

Ouyang Ji glanced at him and said, "So, what can the Supervision Department do to lure the snake out of the hole and lure this group out?" ”

Liu Yuanming's eyes showed embarrassment: "This, forgive the official for being stupid, I haven't thought of it for the time being." ”

Ouyang Ji didn't continue to persecute, just sighed:

"Don't blame me for being harsh, it's really the whereabouts of this group of demons. Nie Duwei is still in retreat to recuperate, and his condition is unknown. There is such a big incident in my Lingqiu County, and the state pastor has already sent a letter of accountability, if I can't give an explanation, everyone here, including me, will not have a good time. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and could only speak:

"My lord, can you give me some more time?"

"Ten days is too short, those demons will definitely wait for the limelight to pass before trying to get out of the city, and that's when they can be wiped out!"

"Give us another month, within a month, and I will definitely give you an explanation!"

Ouyang Ji groaned:

"Okay, in that case, then I'll give you another month, if it's still as clueless as today, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Liu Yuanming and others bowed down one after another:

"Don't worry, Lord Gunjo, we will do our best!"

In the corner, seeing this situation, Chen Zheng secretly laughed in his heart.

Qi Gang and the others, who made the people here anxious, have now buried their bones in mass graves, let alone a month, and it is impossible to wait for them for another ten months.

He was very curious about what Liu Yuanming and the others would be able to do to Ouyang Ji after the expiration of a month.

There was nothing to say next, and Ouyang Ji ended the meeting after asking a few more words.

Before everyone dispersed, he specially left Chen Zheng, which attracted the attention of others.

Including Liu Yuanming himself, he was envious and jealous, as if he wanted to leave himself.

Curiosity is curiosity, but no one dares to say anything.

After everyone went out, Chen Zheng was neither humble nor arrogant: "I don't know what the county guard has to summon him to his humble position?" ”

At this moment, Ouyang Ji's smile was gentle, which was completely different from his previous attitude towards everyone:

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the last time the flying centipede attacked the city, the minefield owner took action, because the situation was chaotic, the official didn't have time to thank him, I hope you can convey your gratitude to the minefield owner when you go back."

Chen Zheng immediately responded: "The humble post must bring the words." ”

Ouyang Ji smiled and nodded, and continued to ask:

"I've occasionally heard people say that you are not actually the distant nephew of the minefield master, but his newly accepted fifth disciple, but is there such a thing?"

Because Teng Qilong's matter had already diverted Teng's suspicions, although it was not done in a big way, the news that Chen Zheng had become Lei Yunting's fifth personal disciple was still made public on a small scale.

The matter of identity has been prepared for a long time, Chen Zheng nodded:

"Lord County Shou doesn't know, I am indeed a distant nephew of Senior Lei, and at the same time, I was favored by Senior Lei's blue eyes, so I was fortunate to become a disciple of his old man."

"I see."

Ouyang Ji nodded suddenly:

"So, isn't all your skills taught by the minefield master? With such cultivation at a young age, he is really a young talent, even better than I imagined. ”

Chen Zheng pretended to be modest: "The county guard has won the award, and the ability to be humble is nothing." ”

Ouyang Ji smiled:

"Don't be humble. This official is from the Ouyang clan, and he can be regarded as well-informed, and in the entire clan, there are not many young people as good as you. Although Lingqiu County is a county seat, it is located in a corner, and real talents should have a broader world in order to show their strength and get ahead. ”

Well?

I actually drew a big pie......

Is this an attempt to recruit me?

Chen Zheng heard the meaning of the other party's words and cooperated with the performance:

"What the county keeper said is that the lowly position also thinks so."

"Good."

In the face of Chen Zheng's knowledge, Ouyang Ji was very satisfied:

"What this official cherishes most is real talent, and he will never hesitate to cultivate. The pond of Lingqiu County and the Supervision Department is too small, as long as you do your best, this official can give you a bigger world and everything you want! ”
