Chapter 516: The Prime Minister, the Head Catcher, and the Hand Behind the Back
Leaving with Meng's mother and son may have a great effect on the overall situation of the human world, but in the process of stepping on the Yellow Spring in the Eight Gates of the Ghost Domain, the two of them are definitely a burden.
Although Meng Xuran is an excellent cultivator and has the blood of the Dark Dragon, after giving birth to Meng Heliu, her cultivation has become rusty, and she was seriously injured by Gao Yangqi, so she really can't keep up with the speed of Bei Shenxiu and the others. Although he was reluctant, at the request of the Northern Meditation Cultivator, he still agreed to carry Meng Xuran forward together, and he barely solved this problem.
Meng Xuran's problem was barely solved, and there was an ignorant Meng Heliu child, in order to take care of him, their speed was also forced to slow down a little, but fortunately, Meng Heliu was more sensible and well-behaved, so he didn't delay too much.
It's just that in this way, the problem on the itinerary is still secondary, once they face the attack of the Eight Sect Masters of the Ghost Domain of Qi Weibian's faction now, the Meng family mother and son are likely to become their breakthrough.
Fortunately, a few days have passed, Qi Weibian's faction did not come to bother, Meng Xuran's injury has gradually improved, and she can travel by herself, and now she has gradually let go of her defense, and when Bei Mingxiu is rushing with Meng Heliu in her arms, she is also relieved to no longer observe Bei Mingxiu's actions.
Their current route is no longer a random move in a general direction, but a clear and organized plan.
In the words of the Northern Meditation Cultivator, they are now too busy to take care of themselves, and it is still a little difficult to protect the Meng family mother and son while guarding against the attack of the Eight Gates of the Ghost Domain, it is best to send them to someone worthy of trust, and soon after setting off from Meng Xuran's small courtyard, he sent a message to that person, and the other party also promised and promised to protect them.
Guan Zhiyao hadn't contacted them for a long time, and the whereabouts of Qi Weibian and the others had become a mystery, but no matter what the other masters of the Eight Gates of the Ghost Domain would do, the most important thing was to get people there safely first.
......
On the seventh day after leaving the small courtyard, the group of Northern Meditation Cultivators came to a town, but as soon as they entered the city gate, they were greeted by bursts of crying.
Bei Mingxiu and the others walked into this town in confusion, only to see that in the open space not far ahead, dense people were dressed in mourning clothes, almost everyone was grief-stricken, and in stark contrast to here, it was the obviously more prosperous street and alley on the side, where almost all the large and small shops were closed, only a very few shops were still open, and the business was extremely deserted, but whether it was this very small number of shopkeepers or the occasional customers, there was a sad expression on their faces.
This whole town, which should have been very prosperous and lively, was completely shrouded in a cloud of grief.
"What important person died that made the whole town cry like this?"
Lu Linxi thought so in his heart, so he stepped forward to ask a common person.
Under normal circumstances, after his death, the people who can mourn and remember so many people must be some big names with excellent local reputations, such as the former Shen Yuxi Shen Alliance Master, after his death, the entire human world is seeing him off.
Lu Linxi originally thought that it was a local upright and honest magistrate who died, or a strong cultivator who sat here to protect the safety of one party, or a famous Confucian who was well-educated, but when he got the answer from the choked people, his expression suddenly became extremely serious.
He returned to the team and whispered, "It was Shen Yan who died, and this is his hometown." ”
The name Shen gradually is familiar to most people in the human world.
He was the prime minister of the dynasty, the only minister of the first emperor to support orphans, although he was a literati and had never practiced, but in the most difficult period of the human world, the role he played could be compared with the soldiers and cultivators who fought on the front line.
Now above the court, he is an absolute mainstay, and it is with his existence that Gao Yangsong can act outside the capital with confidence, without worrying about changes in the capital.
In his more than 40 years of career, he has dedicated everything to the human world, which can be described as a dedication and death. His death is also unforgiving.
Shen gradually is already old, and it is said that the years are unforgiving, and the people of the world will believe it, but in the eyes of Bei Mingxiu and others, who know Gao Yangqi's movements, Shen Jian's sudden death at such a time is too coincidental, but it is just a coincidence, and there is no evidence to prove that Shen Jian's death is related to the surging undercurrent in the human world.
In addition to speculation, Bei Ming Xiu has no intention of continuing to explore, whether it is the mandate of heaven or man-made, Shen Yan has already left this world, Gao Yangqi and the forces behind him will not stop there, in this struggle, what they can do is really limited, and the one who can really deal with the changes in the human world is still his second senior brother whose whereabouts are unknown, the only human monarch in the human world today, Gao Yangsong.
He was going to rest for the night, prepare the necessary supplies and leave the city, first send the Meng mother and son to a safe place, and then deal with other threats, but they didn't have long to go before a man came into their sight.
The man walked in the middle of the street, his steps were steady and powerful, and the distance of each step seemed to be clearly calculated, although he was dressed as a civilian, he had an indescribable aura.
Bei Mingxiu subconsciously glanced at the expressions of the people around him.
Lu Linxi's expression was still casual, but the slightly fluttering eyelids already showed that he was already on guard against the person in front of him.
Yutai Yimeng's eyes were a little more serious, and she should think that this person could be her opponent.
But Meng Xuran and Meng Heliu's expressions did not change much from the original, even if Meng Xuran noticed the approach of this person, there was nothing on their faces.
When it comes to vigilance around her, Meng Xuran is definitely the most attentive one among them, what she wants is very simple, that is, her son can be safe, for this reason she always pays attention to all possible threats around her.
However, Meng Xuran, who should be the most able to detect this person's sharpness, was inaccurate, and could only explain one fact.
In the eyes of himself, Lu Linxi and Yutai Yimeng, this person has shown his threat, but in Meng Xuran's eyes, he is still a passer-by without danger.
can give people two completely different impressions with a posture, and this person is definitely very human.
Friend or foe?
The Northern Meditation Cultivator calmly waited for his next move.
The man didn't seem to notice the Northern Meditation Cultivator and the others at all, and continued to walk towards them on his own, and when he was about to pass by the Northern Meditation Cultivator, he stopped.
"Liao Luofeng. ”
Bei Mingxiu smiled slightly, stopped and said, "The wind catches the upper and lower, what are you doing?"
The name Liao Luofeng is also well-known by many people, as a first-class powerhouse known for his fierce and fast offensive among the six major catchers of the six gates, and is named "Wind Catcher", his style of action can be summed up in four words - vigorous and resolute.
He is extremely efficient in handling cases, once the other party's crime is confirmed, he can always arrest him faster than his peers, and he has always taken this as a criterion while declaring that he will never wronged a good person or let go of a bad person. So being found by him is generally not a good thing.
Liao Luofeng's question was very straightforward: "Did you kill Yunlang?"
Beiming said: "No. ”
Liao Luofeng continued: "How did he die?"
Beiming said: "I don't know. “
Liao Luofeng smiled: "You are lying. ”
Bei Ming Xiu smiled slightly, he has always controlled his facial expressions and mood fluctuations very well, and this wind catcher can still see a hint of clues, it is indeed powerful.
"You're here to ask the sinner?"
Liao Luofeng said: "I came to seek the truth, in addition to Yun Lang, there are also seventeen lives, and I need your honest answer." ”
Beiming Cultivator: "I can only tell you that Lu Yunlang's death has nothing to do with me, when I met him, he was already a dead man, and I really don't know the seventeen lives you said." ”
According to Liao Luofeng's impression among the people, this sentence of the Northern Meditation Cultivator was enough for him to shoot the case directly, and Lu Linxi on the side was ready to make a move, but he nodded unexpectedly and passed by them.
Lu Linxi was stunned, and Bei Mingxiu smiled and said: "Have I lied, the famous wind catcher will naturally distinguish it, and the head catcher of the official family will never attack the good people." ”
Although Liao Luofeng was very happy to dispel, or ostensibly dispel his suspicions about him, he still had a question to ask.
"Wind Catcher, where did you get the news of Lu Catcher?"
When Liao Luofeng heard this, his steps paused, and his fists were already clenched.
He didn't answer, because a voice that seemed to come from all directions had already answered for him.
"Lu Zhutou died unexpectedly, of course, I have to notify my colleagues to collect his body, but by the way, it is not bad to catch a big fish. ”
"The best of both worlds, it should be said. ”
