Chapter Seventy-Six: Endgame Misleading
In order to prevent the dead in this attack from turning into armor, the Iron Guards could only carry out all the corpses one by one and pile them directly on the Qinghe Hunting Ground and set them on fire, which was the most effective way to deal with them at the moment.
While Sangluo was patrolling the palace, Tang Chen was in charge of supervising the burning of corpses, but he soon discovered that many of the headless corpses were different, because those corpses were not wearing the leather armor of the Shendu Army, but wearing civilian clothes.
After Tang Chen asked the ironclad guards who carried the corpses to put the corpses in civilian clothes alone, he found that there were five in total. At this time, Tang Chen didn't know that these were the alien corpses that Childa bought from Lin Suotu, and it should be said that he didn't know what the alien corpses were at all.
Tang Chen inspected the bodies of those strange corpses, and after cutting open their bodies with a knife, he found that there were no internal organs in the bodies of those strange corpses, instead there were some things wrapped in rune paper, but when those things were taken out, they left and burned, and the bodies of the alien corpses also quickly decayed, turning into a pool of black corpse water.
Seeing this, Tang Chen knew that this was definitely not the Dec Armor, because he had already dissected the corpse of the Dec Armor, and judging from the things wrapped in the rune paper found in the body cavity, this thing had something to do with the Alien Dao.
Sang Luo had already found out that it was a strange corpse, but he couldn't say it. The appearance of the corpse means that even if the corpse is not directly involved, it is a violation of the rules of the sect to sell the corpse.
If Sanglu Dao clarified this matter, the emperor would directly think that the alien Dao was involved in the attack on Rouyuan Palace, and also colluded with the Torsi Department. Although with Ji Chengying's character, he would not be stupid enough to order to deal with the Thousand Corpses of the Alien Dao, but he would also realize that the Alien Dao is a force that should not be underestimated, and it will instead make Sang Luo find a way to recruit talents from the Alien Dao.
Whether it is Hu Shen or Sang Luo, they are all people of different sects, but most of the people are for the sake of being famous, so they are not going to take refuge in the imperial court, but originally to serve those who are in the imperial court or can become the lord of the world in the future.
Therefore, the geophysiognomy is also equivalent to a bridge between the imperial court and the heterodox. It's just that if the local minister helps the court recruit heretics, he will be regarded as an enemy, not to mention the many masters of the twelve sects, if the heretics will directly send a special ruling to clean up the city god, they can easily solve the Sangluo.
Sang Luo's skills are not enough to see in the other way.
Therefore, Sangluo, who was already in the quagmire, would not be stupid enough to continue to drill under the quagmire.
Sang Luo also thought of his words, if Tang Chen was suspicious and asked, he could only say that it should be created by the spiritual art of the Tuo Si Department. Strictly speaking, spiritual magic also belongs to the category of alien arts, even if the emperor thinks that the alien way is indeed involved, Sang Luo must convince the emperor that it is someone who deliberately muddies the water and tries to make the whole thing more complicated.
However, one thing is certain, if there is a master within the Torth Department, there must be a master who advises on it, and this person must also be related to the heretical way, otherwise, Gelda will not even know where to buy the alien corpse, and he will not even know where the thousand corpses are sewn.
——
In the Imperial City, in the Qinzheng Palace, Emperor Ji Chengying and Xiwang Ji Hanguang were listening to the report of Aoki, the commander of the Xuan Department.
Originally, Aoki arranged for the thorn to take turns to watch the Rouyuan Palace, and before the attack on the Rouyuan Palace, the thorn naturally smelled the blood in the wind, and returned to the imperial city to inform Aoki as soon as possible, and at the same time, the alarm bell rang for a long time.
However, the Xuan Department is a secret agency directly under the emperor, and without the emperor's instructions, no one can act without authorization, even if they know that Su Mu alone is difficult to deal with, they can only choose to stand by and watch.
Aoki originally thought that the emperor would be angry, but he didn't expect Ji Chengying to be extremely calm, looking at the chessboard in front of him and thinking about how to solve the endgame, as if what happened in the Rouyuan Palace had nothing to do with him.
Aoki knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, although the reinforcements of the Iron Guard and the Shendu Army have arrived, the princess has been robbed, and I believe that the dark chess that was planted in it earlier is also dead, so I haven't found out the specific situation yet." ”
Ji Chengying said something that surprised Aoki: "That's why I have to let Su Mu go to Rouyuan Palace." ”
Aoki was surprised, could it be that the emperor had already speculated that the Tors Department was going to rob Princess Baomeng?
Ji Hanguang looked at Aoki and said: "You send two or three capable people to immediately find a way to catch up with Su Mu and the horses, secretly ensure their thoroughness, and don't show up if you don't have to." ”
Ji Chengying said: "You can show up, the existence of Xuanbu can't hide from that horse master, this horse master has really been acting." ”
Because Aoki and the others couldn't enter the Rouyuan Palace, Xuanbu didn't find out that Tang Xiaohao didn't change and tore the dragon with his hands.
As far as Ji Chengying is concerned, he is only interested in Tang Chen's cultivation of this son, which should be to deal with the Nanrong family, and from this point of view, it is beneficial to the royal family.
After Aoki ordered him to leave quickly, Ji Hanguang turned to look at the chessboard and found that Ji Chengying had obviously cracked the endgame, but he put the chess pieces back, as if he, the emperor's brother, just wanted to maintain the endgame.
Ji Hanguang asked: "Your Majesty, why are you so sure that the Tors Department will come to rob Baomeng?" ”
Ji Chengying raised his eyes and looked at Ji Hanguang: "The existence of Baomeng is a problem, the main peace faction will be saved, the main battle faction will be killed, no matter which faction it is, for Baomeng will send someone to Huayuan, this is absolute, I don't need to speculate." ”
Ji Hanguang immediately asked: "Since you know, why don't you make an order to let the princess and the concubine live in the imperial city?" ”
Ji Chengying smiled: "Just like chess, if I take one step, the other party will take the next step, even if I calculate the layout of the other party, but the other party will try to hide, on the premise of not despising the enemy, I must take into account various possibilities, that is, it is necessary to make sacrifices, so as to prompt the enemy to expose the ultimate goal." ”
Ji Hanguang didn't understand very well: "What does the emperor mean?" ”
Ji Chengying set up the chess pieces and sat upright: "Did you also hear what Aoki said just now?" The so-called troops brought by the people of the Tors Department are the armor, and these armors were originally soldiers of the Shendu Army Banner Battalion, and there is one of the most unique ones. The Shendu Army Flag Camp is not something that people can easily enter, even if there is a real battle, they will definitely light a beacon fire and inform the surrounding flag camps and patrols, but no, this means that it was done by people within the Shendu Army, and it is the Nanrong family to say that it is the Nan Rong family. ”
After Ji Chengying finished speaking, he sighed slightly: "From this matter, I know that whether it is the one under the Twelve Fangs or the one in the Four Seas Inn, it has something to do with the Nanrong family. At the same time, it can also be known that Tang Chen and Sang Luo knew about it at that time, but they didn't tell me the truth. ”
Ji Hanguang immediately said: "This is the crime of deceiving the king. ”
Ji Chengying shook his head with a smile: "No, no, if they say it, it will make me embarrassed, because we can't do anything to the Nanrong family now." The most important thing is that none of these things were done under the instruction of Nanrong Qufeng, it should be a retainer of Nanrong family, or a certain son of Nanrong Qufeng, according to Nanrong Qufeng's character, he will not be tempted, he will only attack directly, so the reason why the people below do this is to force Nanrong Qufeng to be suspected by us, and then have to raise troops. ”
Ji Hanguang understood: "Go down?" Forcing them to submit, if we do anything to the Nanrong family, Nanrong Qufeng will have to launch a mutiny. ”
"Yes, this person's purpose is to provoke a fight between us and Nan Rong's music style, and to reap the benefits of the fisherman himself," Ji Chengying picked up the teacup, "If we go to check Nan Rong's house, it will be tantamount to falling into a trap." Of course, he was able to do this because of two things, first, this man really thought I was a waste, and second, he was too conceited, conceited to take my great strategist Sang Luo seriously. ”
Ji Hanguang recalled: "Nanrong Qufeng has three children, the eldest daughter Nanrong Wenjun, the second son Nanrong Zhongwei, and the youngest son Nanrong Yuankai, according to the rules of Nanrong's family, Nanrong Zhongwei is the eldest son, and he is also a talented son of Jixian Academy, Hu Shen is full of praise for him, and said that this child is a virtuous talent, but I don't know why Nanrong Qufeng prefers the youngest son Nanrong Yuankai. ”
Ji Chengying looked at Ji Hanguang and said: "Nanrong Yuankai is a stuffy gourd, this matter is well known, he didn't start talking until he was five years old, and he has lived in the shadow of his brother Nanrong Zhongwei since he was a child. ”
Ji Hanguang pondered for a moment and said, "Then this matter was done by Nan Rongzhong?" ”
"Who knows?" Ji Chengying didn't dare to be so sure, "Tang Xiaohao's matter has reminded me that you can't look at people on the surface, so whether it's Nan Rong Zhongwei or Nan Rong Yuankai, they may all be the culprits of this incident, but we can only bear it, he makes a move, but if I don't accept it, it means that whoever breaks the move." ”
Ji Hanguang nodded: "Respond to all changes with no change." ”
Ji Chengying said: "Those who are good mercenaries are mistaken and not misunderstood." The need to defeat the enemy is not to be controlled by force. ”

After Tang Xiaohao, Little Bell and Su Mu rode out of the Qinghe Hunting Ground, they followed the horseshoe prints and shoe prints on the ground to pursue Childa and Baomeng.
Judging from the different shoe prints, when Gilda left the Johora Palace with Baomeng, there were only five monsters left with him, and that was the five alien corpses. He left those monsters behind to stall for time, and secondly, to set off with too many monsters, and the goal was too big.
The reason why the five alien corpses were left behind was only for the sake of follow-up planning.
The little bell on the horse wondered, "Why did he only take five armors?" ”
Tang Xiaohao said: "Those five should not be decanate armor, but other things, those decanate armor are all deformed by the Shendu soldiers, and they are all wearing military boots, and these are either straw sandals or cloth shoes that leave footprints." ”
Su Mu on the side said: "When I fought with that group of monsters in front of the palace gate before, I also found that five of them were different, wearing civilian clothes, although their combat effectiveness was good, but their limbs were relatively stiff, and they felt a bit like the kind of zombies that the folk say." ”
Corpse? Alien? Plus the armor created by the Nanrong family? Tang Xiaohao knew that things were getting more and more complicated.
