288 The Truth of Spring City

After several days without a satisfactory reply, in order to consolidate the customs clearance of the country in the Qing Dynasty, the Quancheng Governor's Mansion must be removed.

In the fifty-fifth year of Emperor Qian, at the end of 790 A.D., he and the state secretary envoy collected the bandits and homeless people around Quancheng, united the defenders of the three prefectures, and sent the accompanying ninja mages to jointly initiate the encirclement and suppression of Quancheng.

In the fifty-fifth year of Emperor Qian, at the end of 790 A.D., the encirclement and suppression operation suffered large-scale desperate resistance, and the country lost several high-level mages, in order to end the battle as soon as possible and reduce their own casualties, and the state secretary decided to issue a final notice to Quancheng!

At the end of the 55th year of Emperor Qian, 790 A.D., the newly developed explosives arrived on the battlefield, and the envoy of the state secretary had received a reply from the people of Quancheng who refused to surrender to Cheng, and after discussion and research, it was decided to abandon the people of Quancheng and carry out a annihilating retaliatory attack at the same time.

In the 55th year of Emperor Qian, at the end of 790 A.D., after the cover explosives attack, the city fell silent, and the captain who defended the city died at the city gate, and there were still recalcitrant elements hiding and dormant in the city, and a ten-day clean-up and sweep was about to be carried out.

In the fifty-sixth year of Emperor Qian, at the beginning of 791 A.D., the notice was written, the people of Quancheng suffered a major plague, and the rulers of the Quancheng government were derelict in their duties and misbehaved, in order to avoid the leakage of the plague and closed the news, the people in the city died one after another in more than ten days, and the evil deeds of the Quancheng government caused the anger of the people and gods to be punished by heaven to send down the divine fire.

In the fifty-eighth year of Emperor Qian, at the beginning of 793 A.D., the circular was written that Quancheng was located on the main road for customs clearance, and the surrounding people were allowed to move here to recreate a prosperous and prosperous world.

"Such a detailed battle report, and the imperial court also issued a notice saying that the plague!?"

Looking at the truth of the fall of Quancheng, Zhang Lingyun had mixed feelings in his heart, not only moved by his father's loyal and patriotic feelings, but also worried because he insisted on letting hundreds of thousands of people accompany the funeral.

But the most incomprehensible thing here is the official document issued by the imperial court, even if the emperor is mediocre, he should not let hundreds of thousands of people die in vain and remain indifferent, even if he does not send troops to fight, at least he should not help foreigners deceive the people, so that everyone lives in lies!

"Hmph, do you think they are not completely sure that they will slaughter the city with such fanfare!?"

Ye Zhao looked at the confused face of the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but show a mocking smile, and pointed out the bends and turns in it relatively vaguely.

"What do you mean, the high-ranking officials of the court were bribed by the envoy of the state secretary?

Zhang Lingyun quickly turned his little brain, and finally fixed the initiators on those ruling ministers, after all, His Majesty the Emperor is also an ordinary mortal, and it is impossible to do everything by himself.

If there is a person in a high position, he can also act by secretly using his hands and feet to deceive the upper and lower levels!

"Hehe, do you really think that when the person in power is old, he will be dizzy and ignore the world!? It's just that when he is older, beauty and immortality can arouse his interest even more!!"

Looking at the demeanor of the young man in front of him who still didn't know the truth, Yezhao couldn't help but stroke his forehead and laughed embarrassedly, raised his hand to the void and clenched his fist to secretly want to be a saint today, and then did not shy away from saying the words of rebellion that could raid the house and destroy the door.

Yu Yezhao has long seen through the situation and decay of the current court in his heart, those scheming villains are on the rise, and the loyal people who really think about the people and the country are suppressed because they speak too truthfully, if there is no one in the court and no money at home, now even being an official should be unstable!

"Hmph, the rise and fall of the country and the survival of the people are not as good as the interest of individuals, this country is really ...... Interesting!"

Listening to Yezhao's almost mocking tone, recalling the Fifth Uncle's analysis of the current imperial court, Zhang Lingyun suddenly felt a chill welling up in his heart, neither the expected anger nor the sense of grief, but only felt that his father and the people of Quancheng were so aggrieved that they had died.

Whoever would have thought of sending some beauties and elixirs to the people of the country, the court and the whole court will work together to cover up this tragic evil deed, and the soldiers who are bent on protecting their homes and land will be given the notoriety of dereliction of duty and indirect killing of 100,000 people who died in vain!

"People who are accustomed to slavery do not have independent thoughts, and the truth of some things does not matter!"

Yezhao picked up a cup of tea, walked to a window, and looked out at the bustling streets, where people repeated the boring life day after day, and couldn't help but smile meaningfully.

"I don't know where is the list of officials of the imperial court to cover up the fact of the destruction of Quancheng at that time?"

Zhang Lingyun believes that such a bloody incident, even if the emperor issues an order for his own selfish greed, it is by no means a matter that a few small minions can whitewash the peace, and as long as one person is willing to stand up and explain the facts, this matter will be made public.

"This matter involves a wide range of people, it can be said that there are few clean people from top to bottom, but because of the emperor's prestige, who would gamble on the head of a family for the sake of what has happened!?"

Yezhao subconsciously stroked his chest, shook his head slightly and sighed helplessly, not only regretting his selfishness, but also worrying about the persistence of the young man in front of him.

"It's just selfish rhetoric,"

Zhang Lingyun, who had already noticed that the other party's expression was different, knew that he would not be able to ask any useful clues next, and looked at the thin paper in his hand that recorded the destruction of Quancheng, and the fragments of memories that were full of corpses kept flashing in his mind.

"Is there anything else Zhang Shaoxia wants to ask!?"

Ye Zhao looked at the young man in front of him as if he was in a state of fugue, afraid that something would happen to the other party and that his generous remuneration would go wrong, so he violated the routine and gently patted the client's shoulder.

"Oh, by the way, can I find my friend Xiaohuo?"

Zhang Lingyun, who suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the very unfamiliar environment around him, bit his tongue to make himself sober, and thought of another matter of the Tiancai Exchange, so he gently twisted his fingers and took out Xiaohuo's portrait and showed it to the night patrol envoy to watch, hoping to end the matter together.

"Well, I haven't received any information about this, maybe you'll have to wait a little longer!"

Looking at the familiar face, Yezhao's eyes couldn't help but flash a glimmer of essence, recalling the luxurious carriage that entered the city that never sleeps not long ago, and the handsome young man inside was five points similar to the person in this painting.

That person was settled in the most mysterious courtyard of the Tiancai Exchange, judging from Zhang Gongzi's itinerary in the past few days, finding someone should have been proposed together with the destruction of Quancheng, but the Tiancai Exchange has not handed over the person for a long time, I am afraid that it is deliberately done to increase the reward, and I still don't want to spoil the good things of others!

"In that case, thanks to the Night Watchman's help, I'll deliver the reward tomorrow!"

Putting away a few pieces of tissue paper in his hand, Zhang Lingyun bent his extremely tired body to say goodbye to Yezhao, walked out of the door alone, and walked on the noisy street in a daze, recalling the happiness spent with his father and mother as a child

The light seemed to return to the inn in the blink of an eye.

"I'm back so soon, it's still early, do you want to ...... ,”

Looking at Zhang Lingyun, who seemed to have lost his soul, Feng Yu Creep subconsciously wanted to step forward to comfort him, but he didn't expect to be locked out of the room by the other party at all.

Feng Yu Vulture, who had always restrained his spiritual power, suddenly felt a warm liquid gushing out of his nasal cavity, subconsciously raised his hand, looked at the bright blood stains in his hand, and immediately surged up with anger and raised his leg and kicked towards the door.

"Bang...... ,”

The unexpected scene of broken wood flying did not happen, but the phoenix feather vulture was shaken back by an invisible barrier, frowning and gritting its teeth and sulking on tiptoe.

"Daoyou, this is in a hurry to find a junior brother, do you need our help?"

Looking at Dao Gu who was awakened by the sound, Feng Yu meandered to suppress the inexplicable fire in his heart, showed a false smile and waved his hand again and again, and turned around and walked towards the room of the poisonous centipede.

"Feng Yu, who are you fighting with?"

Looking at the phoenix feather vulture that pushed the door in a rage, the bright red blood stain on its mouth was very interesting, and the thousand-faced sand cat couldn't help but laugh and tease the big bird, and at the same time waved his hand to signal the poisonous flame centipede, and took water to wash the phoenix feather vulture.

"Ahh

The phoenix feather condor recounted what had just happened, watching the faces of the poisonous centipede and the sand cat become more and more solemn, and there was no desire to comfort themselves, and they shook their arms in front of the unhappy two, looking for some sense of existence.

"That kid has never behaved like this, even if he is seriously injured, he will have an explanation,"

As the demon beast that has followed Zhang Lingyun for the longest time, the poisonous flame centipede has the most say in the young master's usual daily habits, and in this situation, combined with the current situation of the people around him, it is most likely that someone has an accident.

"Could it be that the little guy had an accident!?"

Although I don't know what the specific situation is, judging from Zhang Lingyun's abnormal attitude, this matter should be very tricky, and it is a problem that cannot be solved by Zhang Lingyun's current cultivation as a human connection, otherwise Zhang Lingyun will never sit back and sulk.

"Don't speculate, maybe you're just in a bad mood!"

Looking at the thousand-faced sand cat with a serious attitude, thinking of the simple and cute little wolf beast, the phoenix feather condor was the first to wave his hand to stop everyone's imagination.

"Hehe, I hope so, drink tea, drink tea!"

Poison Flame Cipede looked at the eyes of the two of them who tried their best to deny it, as if they wanted to drive away bad thoughts, they also waved their hands, and quickly made tea to change the topic.

At this time, Zhang Lingyun was still trapped in the cruel truth of the destruction of Quancheng and could not extricate himself, he had thought about countless truths about the destruction of Quancheng, and fantasized that one day after cultivating and improving, he could find those wicked people to take revenge.

Emperor Qian, who allowed the wicked to commit murder, had already died of old age, and the number of those who had participated in the massacre of the people of Quancheng was so large that it was impossible to count, and if the people involved were really slaughtered, I am afraid that no one in those three cities would be spared.

There are so many enemies that Zhang Lingyun can't accept, after all, he is not ruthless enough to kill people, but if he lets those wicked people live in the world, Zhang Lingyun feels sorry for those people who died in vain.

Looking at the thin paper in front of him that recorded the destruction of Quancheng, Zhang Lingyun's eyes focused on a few words that appeared many times, 'He Guo Secretary Envoy, He Guo people', since there is no specific list of people involved in the court, then you are the only clue!

"Young master, young master, something happened!"

The poisonous centipede grabbed the bloody envelope in his hand, rushed up the stairs in three steps and two steps, and shouted loudly for Zhang Lingyun to respond, while the fourth class and others behind him followed at a trot.

"What's going on with all this fuss?"

Zhang Lingyun, who had already determined his new goal, gradually calmed down the boredom and mania in his heart, and just wanted to take the opportunity to take a good rest, but he heard a very noisy noise downstairs, and pushed open the door to find out.

"Ah, I don't share this door!"

The phoenix feather vulture, who didn't know what was going on with the poisonous flame centipede, instinctively thought that Zhang Lingyun was in danger, and rushed out of the room as quickly as possible, ready to break down the door to ensure Zhang Lingyun's safety.

Absorbing the lesson of being shaken open by kicking the door just now, Feng Yu was about to try to hit the door with his arm, but he didn't just pose to run, and the other party directly opened the door.

The phoenix feather vulture, which had been on guard, reacted sensitively, adjusted the running angle in time and rushed forward, rushing directly into the room and lying on the table, although it overturned a set of tea sets, but avoided the tragic situation of falling on the floor.

"What are you guys doing here?"

Zhang Lingyun, who was in a depressed mood, not only couldn't laugh when he watched Feng Yu's meandering vulture play with a living treasure, but also gushed out an inexplicable sense of irritability, Zhang Lingyun, who didn't want to bring his personal bad mood to everyone, turned his gaze to the poisonous centipede who was smiling on the side.

"My lord, a corpse appeared out of thin air outside the inn, and it was the night patrol envoy I had seen in the small courtyard!"

Jiasi, who knew that the situation was serious, was the first to speak, after all, the person who was present just now, only he knew the true identity of that person, although he didn't know what trouble Yezhao would cause and he had to run over to see Zhang Lingyun when he was dying, but he had the obligation to let him be mentally prepared.

"Young master, this is a letter found in the arms of that dead body, it seems to be for you,"

The poisonous flame centipede handed the envelope in his hand to Zhang Lingyun, followed everyone into the room, looked at the bloodstains in his hands due to the body search, and felt that he was looking for water to wash off the blood stains on his hands in order not to stain the skirt of the thousand-faced sand cat.

"I've asked Miss Situ Wan'er to deal with that corpse, so it shouldn't involve us,"

Now in addition to their own group of people in this inn, there are only more than ten Taoist aunts in Mount Emei, although everyone has the noble status of immortal cultivators, but after all, the dead person is an official of the imperial court, if the cause of the murder is investigated above, they and others should not go to great lengths to prove their innocence, it is better to leave the relationship clean and more worry-free.

"Let me see what is written on it?"

Feng Yu Vulture, whose curiosity had been stimulated, had already forgotten his embarrassment just now, and directly focused all his attention on the bloody envelope, seeing that Zhang Lingyun did not make a move, he directly grabbed the envelope and opened it carefully.

"So much official information...... What's the use?"

The thousand-faced sand cat, who has always been silent, has become the only person who can read the contents of the letter because of the identity of the woman and the closest to the phoenix feather meandering vulture, and it is only strange to find that it is inside

name, I can't help but show a look of disgust.

"Show me!"

Zhang Lingyun, who heard the official's information, thought of the action of gently stroking his chest in the middle of the night, and thought that he was calming down because of anger, but now it seems that he should be weak-hearted and guilty for hiding important letters.

Zhang Lingyun, who raised his hand and snatched the thick letter, looked at the detailed list of Heguo's visits, the specific official positions and information of the Qing Dynasty's reception personnel, the details of the personnel who came into contact with the Heguo envoy before and after the fall of Quancheng, and the detailed information of the bandits and vagrants recruited by Heguo at that time.

The anger that had been silent for a long time in Zhang Lingyun's heart broke out instantly, the invisible spiritual power spread out in all directions, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and two lines of tears rolled down his bloodshot eyes.

"Sure enough, none of the states, governments, counties, and cities are clean, and the whole country is not clean!"

Zhang Lingyun, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, suddenly got up and slapped the table in front of him, looking at the wooden blocks that had been turned into fragments due to the heavy blow, Zhang Lingyun still couldn't calm the anger in his heart.

"If the enemy kills him, there's no need to be so wronged!!"

Although Feng Yu did not figure out the reason for the situation, he instinctively thought that this matter involved Zhang Lingyun's closest relatives, otherwise how could a child who has always been calm and self-disciplined make such a state of affairs in front of everyone.

"Kill them...... I'm afraid this country is almost over!"

Looking at the dozens of court officials in the entire three eastern provinces, from the prime minister's harem funeral concubine to the one in charge of Quancheng, Zhang Lingyun only felt that his mind was blank, and he didn't know how to choose.

"Look at this paper for some years, at least seven or eight years, now that Emperor Jia is in power, I am afraid that many officials are no longer in their positions, and it is not difficult to take revenge!"

It was the first time Jia Si saw Zhang Lingyun so indignant, although he knew that the situation was extraordinary, he still wanted to solve his problems, so he took the initiative to go to Zhang Lingyun, carefully studied the color of the paper and ink of the letter, and soon found out the approximate age of the letter.

"The whole thing is very involved, I'll think about it again!"

Looking at his close companions in the house, Zhang Lingyun did not tell about the destruction of Quancheng, after all, in the eyes of these self-centered demon beasts with clear grievances, killing is just a way to maintain status.

"Alas, boring, I thought there was something big to do!"

Feng Yu meander, who casually glanced at the list on the letter, glanced at Zhang Lingyun with great disgust, and was very dissatisfied with his personality that required Zhan to think about revenge, so he pulled the sleeve of the thousand-faced sand cat and walked out.

"Well, wait, I really need help with this,"

The thousand-faced sand cat suddenly turned its body, pulled its sleeves out of the phoenix feather vulture's hand, walked to the bed and sat cross-legged, and suddenly released the power of the spiritual consciousness around his body, releasing the concubine Xin'er who was imprisoned in the broken magic circle.

"I was wrong, I will be obedient, please don't kill me...... Please!"

Covered in mud, after a pinprick-like tingling sensation poured into her mind, she thought she was back in that place full of terrifying memories, and she succumbed to the ground and kowtowed in great fear.

"How good is it to kill her directly, what's the point of driving people crazy?"

Although he knew that his body was destroyed by this Xin'er and could not be separated from it, but looking at the appearance of the partner who had been with him day and night, the poisonous flame centipede was very resistant in his heart, and his tone between his words was unconsciously half cold.

"Hmph, short-sighted, do you remember that when the snow rabbit was seriously injured by a sneak attack, she used the 'Divine Soul Rotation' ** to swap Neidan with her?"

The thousand-faced sand cat pointed to the crazy state of Xin'er, asking everyone to verify what they said when they first met, and then looked at the poisonous centipede and nodded in approval, and turned to look in the direction of Zhang Lingyun and waited for a response.

"There is this, when the snow rabbit said about the sacrifice of the Yuan Village, in order to prevent the Xin'er from being bled out, cut the flesh, refining the soul, and sacrificing an unknown guardian saint, he desperately escaped with her Neidan,"

Zhang Lingyun recalled the cry of the red-eyed snow rabbit at the beginning, and looked at the thousand-faced sand cat in surprise, I don't know why she turned the matter out again, waiting for it to give everyone a reasonable explanation.

"These things are true, and the reason why Xin'er strenuously denies them is because her memories have been artificially altered!"

Seeing everyone staring at him in surprise, the thousand-faced sand cat took a sharp breath and announced the facts that had been verified by many parties to the public, but he didn't expect to receive continuous disdain from everyone except Zhang Lingyun.

"Kitten, you've been sleeping stupidly these days! How can there be a spell in the world that can change human memory....... ”

"Nine-character mantra, column, (split) time and space control, a kind of thought that breaks through the barriers of one's own perception. It allows the user not to be trapped by various fetters, and can separate and change part of his own or other people's memories!?"

The chattering phoenix feather vulture, which was very unhappy when Zhang Lingyun's palm covered its mouth, raised his hand to knock off Zhang Lingyun's wrist, and was about to quarrel with him, but was shocked on the spot by his strange words.

"I don't have enough understanding of the mantra, and the magic seal I cast can't fully stimulate her memory, and I can only get information from her words,"

The thousand-faced sand cat admits its its shortcomings very calmly, and has no original pride at all, after all, all the disputes and glory today are not comparable to the solid arm that the poisonous centipede can rely on.

"Xiao Yun'er, the magic seal you always use when you fight is actually the ancient 'Nine-Character Mantra Technique'!?"

Feng Yu Condor had watched Zhang Lingyun's battle, but he never thought that those more magical magic seals in it turned out to be the 'Liujia Secret Technique' that had been lost, and he couldn't help but feel an invisible sense of pride.

"Wanting to know more about the truth about Yuanyuan Village can only awaken all her memories!"

The thousand-faced sand cat casually threw out a lying pillow, just enough to cushion her head that kept hitting the ground to prevent her from knocking herself unconscious again.

"I've never used this kind of seal, so I can only try it as much as I can!"

The identity of the spy who worked for the 'Amaterasu God Sect' has been confirmed, and if what the red-eyed snow rabbit said is true, the so-called Yuan Yuan Village is likely to be the stronghold of the 'Amaterasu God Sect', and the so-called sacrificial activities in it are the experiments of those so-called doctors.

Although he has a map in his hand in exchange for the Hundred Flowers Fairy, but the areas marked on it are far away, and they are distributed in various prefectures and cities of the Qing Dynasty.
