Guan Zhiqing's words reminded Gu Huaiyi of his experience in the Seven Stars Trickery, so he asked casually, "Before that, didn't the Tors Department communicate with the Bone Hunters?"

Guan Zhiqing looked at Gu Huaiyi with the eyes of a fool: "You should know that the Alien Dao does not interact with the government, at least not on the surface, and besides, the Bone Hunter is secretive, how can he establish any connection with the Tors Department, there is no need."

At that time, the Tors Department had established contact with the Bone Hunters, that is to say, the old clan king Tuohetai cooperated with the Bone Hunters faction to seek the art of immortality, and it was since then. So, will it be Tang Anshu who is leading all this? And Guan Zhiqing should be the intermediary liaison between the Tors Department and the Bone Hunters?

Guan Zhiqing continued: "It is not appropriate for Tang Anshu to come forward, after all, he escaped from Huayuan, and if he goes to find the bone hunter, it will be tantamount to exposing his whereabouts, so I can only go."

Guan Zhiqing is the hall master of the Beggar Gang Tianren Hall, and the Beggar Gang is half Jianghu and half alien, so it is most suitable for her to come forward.

To Guan Zhiqing's surprise, after she asked the Dead Ear to match up to meet the bone hunter, the head of the bone hunter, Feng Guyan, happily agreed to the matter, and also sent a large number of disciples to help them pick the scavenging stems in the swamp, and also taught Guan Zhiqing how to make that kind of medicinal powder.

The Bone Hunter faction was so cooperative, which surprised both Guan Zhiqing and Tang Anshu.

When Gu Huaiyi heard this, he said, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

Guan Zhiqing said, "Tang Anshu said the same thing."

Gu Huaiyi interjected and asked, "Hall Master Guan, no matter how you say it, you are all seniors, why do you call him by his name?"

"That's what he asked for," Guan Zhiqing said angrily, "He doesn't like to be called seniors, or old people or something, he said that he feels old when he hears these titles, but he doesn't accept old age."

Hearing this, Gu Huaiyi chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but clench the reins.

Another thought appeared in his mind - maybe the old clan king Tuohetai was not the only one who wanted the art of immortality?

Gu Huaiyi knew that if he said too much, he would lose it, and he couldn't ask about topics other than the armor, so he said, "What about after that? You've succeeded, haven't you?"

Guan Zhiqing was unusually calm: "I led someone to capture a corpse, it was not a corpse, and after feeding the medicine powder to the corpse, I let it go, I led people to follow along the way, and found that the corpse had drilled into a hole in the ground, so I stayed around the cave and waited."

Guan Zhiqing guarded around the cave for fifteen days, and for the entire fifteen days, he did not find the corpse or the armor in and out.

It is impossible for the carcass to sustain such a long time without foraging, let alone those carcasses that can feed their hunger by directly eating raw animals.

Therefore, Guan Zhiqing guessed that it should have worked, so she found a place to fix the rope and followed the rope into the hole below.

Guan Zhiqing slid down the rope, and by the light of the torch, she found that the cave was bigger underneath, and when she threw the torch down, she found that there were corpses and a small amount of armor all over the ground.

After Guan Zhiqing landed, she pasted a few pieces of rune paper directly on her body, she was worried that if she was ambushed, she could use a spell to detonate the rune paper, and even if she died, she could drag a few cushions.

After inspecting the surroundings, Guan Zhiqing found that although the corpses and armor were paralyzed on the ground, they were not dead, and they were not covered with scavenging mustaches as Tang Anshu said.

Guan Zhiqing originally wanted to completely blow up the cave, at least bury all the corpses and armor she saw, but when she put rune paper on the stone walls around the cave, she found that the cave she was in was only the tip of the iceberg, because the cave she was in was also connected to other caves, as for what was in those caves, she didn't know.

When Gu Huaiyi heard this, he felt very curious, "Why don't you go and check it? Since that medicinal powder has worked, then the corpses and armor hidden below should be poisoned."

Guan Zhiqing looked at Gu Huaiyi and said, "Because I found that the connections between those caves and caves are blocked with stones."

Gu Huaiyi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately understood: "You mean, after the corpse and the corpse found that there were similar poisons and were infected, they took those

Isolated by the infestation?"

Guan Zhiqing said: "That's right, it's like when we find out about the plague, we will isolate the sick people, you know, the Decia was originally a human being, and some of them may have been doctors and studied medicine, so they know what's going on, even if they become the Deca Armor, but the previous memories and cognitions are still there."

Gu Huaiyi laughed, Guan Zhiqing heard his laughter, and immediately asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Huaiyi smiled, "I'm laughing at the wild armor you said earlier. Do you know? Even wolves will adjust their attack in the face of any human behavior, let alone these armors that used to be humans, so my guess is that you have hardly seen them since then, right?"

Guan Zhiqing was surprised: "How do you know?"

Gu Huaiyi put away his smile: "Because it was rumored many years ago that Rouyuan no longer had the armor, but you told me in the cellar a few days ago that you think someone is artificially making the armor, so your suspicion is that the bone hunters used other methods to shelter those armors, or raise them."

Guan Zhiqing nodded slowly: "Yes."

Gu Huaiyi remembered something at this time: "This is also the reason why you want to buy the armor from the Nanrong family."

Guan Zhiqing praised from the bottom of his heart: "You are really not an ordinary decanter, and you are worthy of being a strategist comparable to Sang Luo."

Gu Huaiyi immediately said, "I don't deserve the title of the world's best wisdom."

Gu Huaiyi paused and continued his previous analysis: "Originally, you didn't know how to start investigating whether the Bone Hunter was raising the Bone Hunter's armor, but you couldn't investigate it in the past because the previous clan king needed the Bone Hunter's longevity technique."

Speaking of this, Gu Huaiyi carefully observed Guan Zhiqing's expression, but Guan Zhiqing's face was expressionless.

Isn't expressionlessness the same as acquiescence? If Guan Zhiqing didn't know, she would definitely show surprise.

Gu Huaiyi said again: "Later, after the death of the old clan king, because too many things happened, and Tang Anshu was worried about being liquidated, there was no way for you to investigate, but when most of the capital Antai sent someone to find a way to save the princess in Huayuan, he contacted the Nanrong family through some channel, and the Nanrong family actually sold the kind of controllable armor to Antai, which made my uncle have an idea, that is, is there any connection between the bone hunter and the Nanrong family?"

"I have to say, you are indeed very smart," Guan Zhiqing spat out a mouthful of stuffiness in his chest, "When she knew that the Nanrong family had a carapace, she began to speculate whether there was a connection between the Nanrong family and the bone hunters' cultivation of the carapace, who came first and who came after, or there was no connection at all, but no matter what, you could enter the main gate of the bone hunters through the carcass bought from the Nanrong family."

Gu Huaiyi was puzzled: "I don't understand this, you take the initiative to send the armor, and the bone hunter accepts it, isn't this the three hundred taels of silver here?"

Guan Zhiqing said, "No, according to what the Bone Hunters said to the Old Clan King, the reason why they didn't study and understand the art of immortality is because the armor is scarce, and what they need is a kind of armor that retains their original minds and will not be affected by the group."

Gu Huaiyi nodded: "Understood, everything is connected, therefore, the so-called Lord and Sect Leader Battle Faction are just pretenses, right?"

Guan Zhiqing said: "The situation in Rouyuan is very complicated, the main peace and the main battle are only on the surface, in fact, whether it is Gurke who is now the king, or Antai who seems to be the opposite of him, there is no direct contradiction, the reason why it has evolved into today's is that the old clan king first gave the throne to Gurke at the Six Ministerial Conference, and gave Gurke the armor of the clan king, but when he was dying, he handed over his white ring to Antai, and asked Antai to go to Huayuan to rescue Princess Baomeng and support her to sit on the throne."

When Gu Huaiyi heard this, he didn't say anything anymore, his silence meant that he was thinking, and he only now understood why Gui Qinglan, represented by Li Chaonian, would let himself replace Jiang Mingke to come to Rouyuan, and also understood why Sang Luo used the words "undercurrent surging" and "mountain rain is coming" in his letter.

If you pull a hair, you will move the whole body, and all forces are involved, and now Rouyuan seems to be calm, but in fact it has become a battlefield where there is no sword light.

——

Many days later, when Tang Xiaohao,

Bao Meng, Ji Chengying, Su Mu and the others returned with Gurke, and when they looked at the Hacha City from afar, which was regarded as the pride of the Rouyuan people and privately called the capital, they realized that this city had an extraordinary significance to the Torsi Department.

Hacha City has a high-walled city tower, which is completely incomparable to the tribal earth city, although the size of the city is not as good as Liang City, but this is a soft plain.

It is already a miracle that such a city can be built on the grassland.

The earth, stone, and gold items used to build the city wall may not be much in Huayuan, but they are nothing more than labor-intensive and time-consuming, but in the grassland, everything other than soil needs to be transported back from other plains.

It takes a lot of time and manpower to transport it, let alone build it.

Originally, a moat was to be built outside the city of Hacha, on the one hand, it could divert water to ensure the demand for water in the city, and on the other hand, it could also be used as a barrier.

However, Jowon was so short of water that the wells dug in the city could only be used by people and animals, and it would be too luxurious to fill the moat.

Therefore, in the end, only four connected moats were dug on all sides of the city of Hacha. The moat is five zhang wide and about two zhang high, which is wider and deeper than the moat outside the sacred capital.

In the event of a siege, even if the enemy tries to cross this moat, he will have to pay a huge price.

Before entering the city, Tang Xiaohao saw a completely cylindrical tower in the city, so he subconsciously asked, "Is that a tower?"

Although Tang Xiaohao guessed that it should be the Mending Heaven Tower that Daouri said, if he asked directly, it would naturally arouse the suspicion of others.

Antai immediately replied next to him, "It's called the Tower of Replenishment, and it's the tallest building in the entire Johora."

Tang Xiaohao exclaimed, "This is too high, isn't it? Gotta have a hundred?"

An Tai said: "Fifty zhang, but I heard that the highest tower in the entire Jiuyuan is in Huayuan, called Yongning Tower."

Tang Xiaohao nodded and said, "Yes, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and when I return to Huayuan, I will also go and see the Yongning Pagoda with my own eyes...... By the way, Lord Antai, what is the Tower of Heaven for?"
