Chapter 287: Traces
In the middle of the town.
Looking at the treasure map in front of him, which finally revealed his true face, even the city government with white rites, couldn't help but flash a trace of excitement in his eyes.
To be honest, he wasn't really sure before, this picture that was coated with a film can reveal its true face. For this reason, he was even prepared to be followed, and prepared a potion that could wash off the coating.
But now, it seems that this potion is not needed.
As long as he copied the treasure map in front of him before the light of January faded, he would be able to start traveling to the legendary treasure land.
Not to mention the white ceremony, he is grinding it himself, looking for a brocade silk, and transcribing the map.
On the other side, with the full moon rising, the people of the Great Xing Division, who had been prepared for a long time, began to dispatch under the orders of their superiors.
And their target was the person who had stolen the treasure of Hanhai Country in Yancheng before, that is, Bai Li and the others.
And the result is naturally needless to say, no matter how cunning the fox is, it can't fight a good hunter. Their little trick was child's play for Bai Li.
Therefore, even at dawn, or even on the third watch of the day, Chen Zhen, the chief of the department who was in charge of all the relevant affairs of the Commander-in-Chief of the Western Regions, did not receive any news.
This made his face become more and more gloomy, and at the same time, he couldn't help but mutter, was their previous analysis wrong? The last treasure map was not in the target's hands at all, so the other party had actually left the land of the Western Regions.
And just when this Si Zheng was secretly speculating in his heart, the sound of footsteps suddenly came, and a subordinate hurried forward.
"How is it, is there any news?" Chen Zhen asked first.
"My lord, there is none," the subordinate replied.
"At this time, there is no news yet," Chen Zhen squinted his eyes and muttered after turning around in place: "I'm afraid that if I wait any longer, there will be no result." Could it be ...... Did this person really leave the Western Regions?"
It's no wonder that the head of the Great Bank Division thinks so, as a senior member of the Great Bank Division, he really knows too well how difficult the imprints on the treasure maps they sent out are.
Aside from the specific detergent in their hands, the rest, at least as far as their Grand Master knows, there is no way to erase the mark.
For this reason, the Great Bank Division has used the characteristics of this imprint to solve many tricky people and tricky troubles in the past.
Now, however, there has been no reply. It's no wonder that this Si Zheng has such an idea.
Don't mention Chen Zhen's thoughts at this time.
On the other side, the real treasure map has arrived, so is there any need for Bai Li to stay in this town any longer.
Therefore, after a short night's rest, Bai Li and the others set off directly, according to the map indicated, towards the Desert of Death.
However, there is one more thing that needs to be done before leaving, that is, to completely solve those few stalking. Bai Li didn't want to be followed by a tail when he was looking for treasure!
Therefore, when the people of the Great Priest came to change their shifts at noon, all they saw was the blood-stained earth and a cold corpse.
"Dead?!" In the stronghold of the Great Bank Division, Si Zheng Chen Zhen couldn't help frowning after hearing the report of his subordinates.
"Yes," his men bowed their heads and replied, "the three outposts responsible for monitoring them were all killed, and none of them survived!"
"Waste! I can't even look at a person, what use do I want from you!"
Because of the matter of the treasure map of the Hanhai Kingdom, he was on fire, and now when he heard that his subordinates couldn't even settle on a person, Chen Zhen's face suddenly turned gloomy.
Seeing that his subordinates dared to be lazy, they hurriedly pleaded guilty.
And the subordinate in front of him has been following him for so many years, without credit and hard work, and now he has a good attitude of admitting his mistakes. Therefore, Chen Zhen did not continue to dwell on this, and after muttering for a while, he continued: "What about the corpse?"
"Lord Hui, just outside," as Chen Zhen's old subordinate, this subordinate naturally knows some habits of his old boss.
Therefore, when he came back to report, he also brought the body back by the way, waiting for his own official to check it.
"What a fast sword!" Looking at the marks on the corpse, Chen Zhen said with a solemn face: "Even if it's me...... I'm afraid that I may not be able to do better. ”
"What, sir, you ...... too."
Chen Zhen's words really shocked several of his subordinates in the hall.
Although they are the same three internal divisions, they have different priorities due to their respective responsibilities. In fact, in terms of selection and appointment, the three divisions and yamen also have differences.
For example, the Imperial City Division, because it is mainly responsible for the officials of the court. Therefore, all the upper echelons are held by eunuchs.
This is not the case with the Gong Wei Division and the Daxing Division.
At the same time, since the Daxing Division is mainly responsible for places outside the Great Zhou, they can't be as reckless as the Gongwei Division and the Imperial City Division. If something is wrong, you can even directly transfer the local government or even the garrison to listen to it.
So in most cases, they use wisdom, not force.
For example, in the Huns, there are also people who kill people. But more often than not, they used the resources they had in their hands to divide, co-opt, and befriend the Xiongnu magnates.
Otherwise, the earlier Xiongnu slaughter Shan Yu would not have been affected, and poured millions of troops to attack Youzhou.
Therefore, in terms of promotion and appointment, the Daxing Division is not a hard indicator of strength like the Gongwei Division and the Daxing Division.
For example, the previous Mr. Changsun, although he is the middle doctor of the Daxing Division, is second only to the Daxing Order of the Daxing Division. But in terms of strength, it is only a half-step heavenly realm.
And if you change to the Gongwei Division and the Imperial City Division, you don't have the strength of the heavenly and human level, and if you want to do the same level of position, even if you have a great contribution, it is useless to be favored.
Because you can't sit still at all, and even if you barely sit down, you can lose your life at any time.
So don't look at Chen Zhen's official position in the Daxing Division, which is just the director, under the Daxing Order, and the middle doctor. According to the analogy of the Gong Wei Division, it should be similar to the half-step celestial-level Gong Wei Division commander who died in Bai Li's hands, Hua Zifeng, and the original Lu Jiuzhong official position.
But in fact, this Chen Zhen is indeed a real celestial-level master, and he is also a senior celestial, the kind that can condense Sanhua in one step!
And now, Chen Zhen, who has such a cultivation, after seeing the corpse, actually said that when it comes to swordsmanship, even he may not be able to do better!
Although Chen Zhen is not really good at swordsmanship, it is still surprising enough.
Because this meant that at least one of the people they had monitored before was in the Heavenly and Human Realm!
Not to mention the shock in the hearts of his subordinates, Chen Zhen was under surveillance before discovering them, and there were actually martial artists from the realm of heaven and man, so he was not surprised and rejoiced.
It's really a poor mountain and a poor water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!
At this time, this place is close to the legacy of the Hanhai Kingdom. A number of mysterious whereabouts appeared, and there were even faces of celestial-level existences among them.
How could this not remind him of the group of people who had taken away the treasure map of the Hanhai Kingdom.
And how not to let him, who no longer has any clues in his hands, be overjoyed!
"Come on, find someone to draw down the faces of these new faces, and then spread them everywhere!
"Yes!"
