Chapter 570: First Step
"My lord, the whereabouts of those two people are uncertain, and they are suspected of using means to hide between the mountain villas a hundred miles south of the Holy Capital."
In the evening, Li Yu rode a fast horse to a small town south of the holy capital, and met Yan Yuandi, who was in charge of command and dispatch at the front line, and the leaders from the East and West Second Factory, the City Patrol Division, and the Praetorian Guard.
The former is his subordinate, and there is nothing to say, but the next few groups of people have their own subordinates, and it is much more troublesome to dispatch.
Although the official level crushed people to death, Li Yu, as the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an, is now in charge of the Holy Scroll and is in control, but he is really not too familiar with these people, so he can only discuss with them for the time being and divide the areas they are responsible for.
"For the time being, I don't seek merit, but I want no fault."
Li Yu privately summoned Yan Yuandi and gave an order.
"Don't worry, I understand."
Now that the signs of troubled times are emerging, it is very important to retain his strength, and Yan Yuandi is gradually proficient in the way of being an official.
"Anyway, how are you sure that the other party is hiding among these mountain villages?"
After gossiping, Li asked the key question.
"My lord, we used falcons and many strangers to track down their whereabouts along the way, although that Qiao Lin was cunning and used the dummy transformed by the jade withering to deceive for a while, but the true whereabouts could not be hidden, and they were still found out.
After we cut off the fake body, we quickly locked on to his real body again."
"I see."
Li Yu nodded and said.
……
That night, Li Yu rushed dozens of miles away with his men and horses from the Shadow Capture Hall and stopped in front of a stone tablet engraved with Zhangjiazhuang.
"Phew!"
Yan Yuandi and the others, who were following him, stopped one after another and turned back.
"My lord, this Zhangjiazhuang is a rural Zhuangzi some distance from the county seat, and the Gu Heart Demon Sect's power is extremely strong in the mountains and wilderness, so it is very likely that he is hiding in such a place and temporarily settled."
Li Yu was not surprised: "Since ancient times, the imperial power has not gone to the countryside, and in such a place, the ruling power of clan and religion is the greatest."
In fact, don't say that in such an era, even in modern society, some people have fled to remote mountain villages, and it is difficult to deal with.
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
At dusk, as the sky darkens, the peasant families who are not accustomed to and reluctant to use lighting tools should be ready to rest early, but all the surrounding houses show the appearance of being abandoned for a long time and uninhabited.
"It doesn't make sense, I've been here a few days ago, there are hundreds of families living in this village, and it's usually very lively."
In the team, in addition to Li Yu and others, there was also a local county official named Zhang San.
He was born in Hongo, and he was sent to act as a guide and interpreter.
His ancestors were also from Zhuangli, and he also had a kinship with the local landlord within five suits, and the people below considered that he might be of some use, so they specially sent him to listen to the dispatch.
As a result, I didn't expect that even Zhang San, who lived in Zhuangzi when he was a child, was completely stunned.
It wasn't a familiar place for him at all, it was like a ghost hitting a wall and getting lost.
"We may be in the realm of treachery."
Li Yu looked around vigilantly and saw a gray-white mist spreading, covering up the mountains in the distance.
"Trickery? Is it Qiao Lin or Chen Dingguan's? But from what we have, they don't seem to have the power of the Realm." Yan Yuandi said immediately.
"Not necessarily them."
Li Yu replied, and what he saw was a faint white light wafting around.
A putrid smell emanated from the surrounding void, as if many corpses were buried in the ground around them.
Such a scene reminded him of something, and he said no more.
The people next to them were more and more frightened.
"It stinks!"
"How do I feel like there are so many people buried underneath?"
They also smelled the strong stench that was choking, and even felt that the soil under their feet was a little soft, as if something was buried.
Only Yan Yuandi had been to the Hou Mansion before, explored the environment of the Dongyuan campus on the spot, and recognized the smell.
However, he didn't know about Li Ang's existence, and he only thought that something was eyeing Li Yan.
He couldn't help but glance at Li Yu worriedly, and proposed, "My lord, why don't we go back first?"
"No, if such a realm exists, it means that the people inside are still there.
Let's hurry up, maybe we can catch the trip, just in time for the fisherman to make a profit."
Li Yu said calmly, in fact, his mood was like setting off a stormy wave.
Grandpa Li Ang...... Sure enough, it came!
Is he really here to track down the Fuping Magic Pen?
This thought was born, and it followed me like a shadow, lingering for a long time.
At the moment, the eyes of the true law were sacrificed, and with the operation of the treacherous power, the twin children faintly shone, blooming like a flame in the dark night.
This power did not show the light that ordinary people could see with the naked eye, but under the influence of the Void Prisoner, the huge coercion overflowed, and it also made everyone feel a terrifying feeling as if they had been suppressed.
"Over here!"
The momentum on Li Yu's body came and went quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he saw several pillars of light in the distance bright and standing towards the sky.
It was the aura of treacherous power that formed a clear sign in his vision, like beacon fire.
When everyone heard this, they quickened their pace and rushed towards him after him.
