The experience of living in the cold palace

Chapter 94: A group of heroes gather together, even if they see Dongchang, they must bow their heads ([-]st update, please subscribe)
Guangning City.

Inside the Governor's Palace.

Everyone looked at He Wenshun's substitute, and their expressions darkened.

They didn't expect that He Wenshun would actually use the golden cicada trick to escape under their noses and escape smoothly.

This guy was so cunning. He probably had a premonition that he would be exposed, so he had thought of his escape route in advance.

"This guy's ability to disguise himself is really good. Even our family was deceived by him." Shangguanrou looked very ugly.

The guy he captured in front of him was only in the middle stage of Xiantian cultivation, but he was able to hide it from his eyes and ears.

It proves that this substitute has specially practiced martial arts in this area just for this day.

It can be said that this is the scapegoat prepared by He Wenshun!
"It's true that he knows people but not their hearts. He Wenshun looks gentle and elegant on weekdays, but he is a beast with a human face and a beast's heart."

"As the governor of a province, this bandit actually colludes with a cult like the Blood Lotus Sect. His actions should be punished!"

"Except for He Wenshun, there is no guarantee that there are no other officials in Taihu Province who act as traitors to the Blood Lotus Sect. I suggest that Mr. Shangguan conduct a thorough investigation!"

A group of people looked at the scapegoat on the ground and started talking in all directions.

Liang Guangcan's expression was also extremely gloomy.

Although he and He Wenshun had different political views on weekdays, they often quarreled.

However, they never thought that He Wenshun was actually a traitor from the Blood Lotus Sect.

You know, he and He Wenshun have been working together for more than six years, which is enough to see how deeply He Wenshun hides.

"Father, what should we do with this substitute?" Liang Guangcan asked.

He felt that since the man in front of him could serve as He Wenshun's substitute, he must know something about He Wenshun.

As long as he pries open this man's mouth, he might be able to uncover more traitors in the Blood Lotus Sect!
We should take this opportunity to clean up the atmosphere in Taihu Province.

"This person, our family knows..."

Just as Shangguan Rou was about to speak out, his eyebrows suddenly raised: "How dare you!"

The true energy surged in his body, and he slapped He Wenshun's stand-in on the ground with his palm.

Waves of cold air surged out, trying to freeze the substitute.

However, it was too late.

The substitute had already bitten the poison hidden in his teeth, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he died instantly.

"Sealing his throat upon seeing blood, this guy has already been determined to die!" Liang Guangcan frowned.

Shangguan Rou narrowed his eyes: "This should be a dead soldier trained by He Wenshun. Even if I ask, I probably won't be able to get any information."

Liang Guangcan looked at Shangguan Judo and said, "Eunuch Shangguan, since we want to thoroughly investigate the traitors in Taihu Province, it just so happens that most of the officials in Taihu Province are here. How about using your questioning mirror to ask them one by one?"

The fact that He Wenshun was a traitor to the Blood Lotus Sect shocked him greatly.

Everyone feels a little suspicious now.

Therefore, I want to use this mind-asking mirror to check everything thoroughly.

Even this mental mirror may damage the soul of the official under investigation.

This is better than having a Blood Lotus Sect traitor lurking around!
Shangguan Rou said: "Of course, as long as these officials cooperate, an investigation is just a trivial matter. However, our family has to agree in advance that the interrogation mirror risks damaging the soul. If something goes wrong, we can't blame our family."

In fact, by finding the big fish He Wenshun, his mission of investigating the traitors in Taihu Province has been completed.

It would not be a bad idea to leave the other small fish and shrimps to Liang Guangcan himself to investigate.

However, since Liang Guangcan asked for it, he would not refuse.

"It's natural."

Liang Guangcan responded, and then looked at the officials present:
"You should have heard what I said. In order to prevent He Wenshun from happening again, you will come to Eunuch Shangguan in order to be tested according to your rank. Violators will be killed without mercy!"

talking room.

He exuded a strong murderous intent, as if anyone who disobeyed his orders would be killed immediately!

This is a power that has been cultivated over many years, and even ordinary master-level experts may not be able to possess it.

"Yes."

After hearing this, all the officials had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

after all.

Governor Liang himself had set an example and tried this mirror, but they could not find any reason to refuse.

Even if he refuses and resigns, he will probably be arrested as a traitor to the Blood Lotus Sect.

Instead of doing this, it is better to have the courage to test it.

Soon.

A group of officials lined up according to their rank to take the test of the Mind Mirror.

Shangguan Rou activated his true energy, summoned the White Tiger True Spirit in the Questioning Mirror, and tested these officials one by one.

This test is really fruitful!
Several inspectors in charge of prisons, a prefect, several county magistrates, two captains in charge of hundreds of people, and several corps commanders all had interests in collusion with He Wenshun.

These people were naturally suppressed and arrested by Liang Guangcan and Shangguan Rou with thunderous force!

There were also a few who fell into coma because they could not withstand the pressure of the Heart-Questing Mirror, their souls were damaged.

It lasted for a full hour before all the officials had finished testing!

Liang Guangcan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling secretly horrified in his heart.

This Taihu Province has been so heavily infiltrated.

Fortunately, a thorough investigation was conducted today, otherwise he, the governor, would be ousted by He Wenshun sooner or later.

"Thank you, father-in-law. If my father-in-law hadn't brought this mirror, I would never have known that Taihu Province was being eroded so seriously!" Liang Guangcan sincerely clasped his fists towards Shangguan Rou.

Shangguan Rou said calmly: "Governor Liang, there is no need to be polite, this is just a little effort."

Liang Guangcan thought for a while and said, "If something like this happens now, what about the suppression of bandits tomorrow?"

"Of course we will continue. Don't delay our original plan because of a young man. Eradicating the cancer in Heifeng Village as soon as possible will also be of great help in providing disaster relief and quelling the rebel army." Shangguan Rou said.

Liang Guangcan nodded: "Okay, then I will torture these people first to see if I can get some useful information. At [-]:[-] tomorrow, we will leave for Heifeng Village!"

He added: "Of course, the final decision regarding the attack on the stronghold is entirely up to the father-in-law, and I will only assist from the side."

Soon.

Liang Guangcan and all the officials and generals, big and small, left one after another, not even eating the banquet.

but.

Li Xuan and other people from Dongchang were not so particular. They sat down, exchanged cups, and ate happily.

Now that the internal worries have been resolved, all they need to do is break through the Black Wind Stronghold tomorrow, and their mission will be considered a success.

The most important thing is that this attack on the stronghold, thanks to the efforts of Shangguan Eunuch, was led by their Dongchang.

After capturing the stronghold and counting the supplies, their East Factory will naturally need to take the bulk.

Naturally, the more resources they will have in their hands!

After eating and drinking.

Everyone then went back to their rooms to recuperate and recharge their batteries for the attack on Black Wind Stronghold tomorrow.

"Eunuch Li, remember to follow me closely tomorrow. After the stronghold is breached, we will take the lead. First we will go to the alchemy room in Heifeng Village, then to the medicine garden, and finally to the warehouse. If we have time, we will look for any secret passages. of."

Zhao Hao has already made a rough plan.

He is already thinking about how to maximize his own interests after breaking through the Black Wind Stronghold tomorrow.

First of all, the priority is to search for various elixirs and medicinal herbs. These are the most convenient to carry and are also extremely valuable.

Much better than going directly to get real money.

Secondly, there are the weapons, treasures, etc. in various warehouses.

If you are lucky, you can grab a few magic weapons, which will be a big profit.

You must know that even the lowest-level magic weapon requires 100 taels of gold, and is often priceless.

Therefore, for most Xiantian realm warriors, it is already very good to have a magic weapon in their hands.

Not to mention magic weapons and even spiritual weapons and spiritual treasures.

"Okay, I will be behind you tomorrow and use my bow and arrow to help you kill some miscellaneous fish so that you can kill them faster." Li Xuan smiled.Almost [-]% of the eight thousand bandits in Black Wind Village are warriors of the Houtian realm.

Among the acquired warriors, those in the lowest level of meat refining realm are the main ones.

With Li Xuan's current attainments in "Divine Wind Arrow", these Hou Tian realm warriors, in front of him, are really like selling out.

of course.

The reason why Li Xuan said he would use archery to help Zhao Hao was also to facilitate his escape tomorrow.

With his current strength, Zhao Haodu may not be his opponent.

In addition, he also had the "Heifeng Village Topographic Map" obtained from Shiyu, which recorded the locations of the major warehouses and medicine gardens in Heifeng Village, which could help him find treasures faster.

Finally, there’s Jinhua’s treasure-hunting abilities.

If you act alone, you will definitely gain more than following Zhao Hao.

"Haha, no problem, but you have to be careful. If you are too far away from me, if you are attacked by someone, I won't be able to help you immediately." Zhao Hao reminded you.

This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing of ransacking houses and suppressing bandits.

He knew that if a fight really broke out, the scene would be extremely chaotic, and with his strength, he might not be able to take care of Li Xuan.

"I will be careful. When the time comes, Eunuch Zhao will just rush forward. I will try my best to keep up. If I fall behind, Eunuch Zhao will go look for the treasure by himself and don't worry about me." Li Xuan said.

"Okay, I'll try to take care of you tomorrow."

Zhao Hao didn't say anything like "I will never abandon you" in a pretentious manner.

After all, the relationship between the two has not reached this level yet.

The reason why Zhao Hao was willing to take Li Xuan with him was to store the things he grabbed with Li Xuan, so as to avoid the commission from Dongchang.

However, if it is too chaotic by then, then he will have no choice but to look for the treasure first!

'After several days of delay, I can finally suppress the bandits. Once the suppression of the bandits is completed, I should be able to accumulate enough money to cultivate to the late stage of the Xiantian realm. Moreover, there must be many treasures in the Black Wind Stronghold. You need to bring more sacks. 'Li Xuan thought to himself, 'However, this time there are people from all over the world led by Wanjian Villa. These are competitors, so we have to be careful. '

Of course, Li Xuan was not too worried.

With his current strength in both magic and martial arts, as long as he doesn't encounter a grandmaster, he should be able to protect himself.

The next day.

Moment of time.

It's not yet dawn.

Outside Guangning Mansion.

The army has already assembled.

There are a total of five thousand soldiers and horses, each wearing black armor and holding a long sword, exuding a fierce aura.

These are elite soldiers who have seen blood. Each of them can be compared to five or even ten. They can be regarded as the core troops under Liang Guangcan.

If these five thousand cavalry were to form a battle formation on the battlefield, even those at the master level would have to stay away.

Liang Guangcan was riding on a horse that was eight feet tall and covered in fiery red. He looked at Shangguan Judo beside him:

"Father, after a whole night of interrogation yesterday, several people in this group couldn't bear it and committed suicide. There are also a few who didn't know any of the questions and didn't get any useful information."

Shangguan Rou was not surprised by this and said calmly:
"This He Wenshun is very careful and meticulous in his actions. Those caught yesterday were just minor characters, so naturally they don't know He Wenshun's secrets."

"At the moment, we are still focusing on suppressing bandits and arresting He Wenshun. We will do it later."

"Or maybe, He Wenshun is in Heifeng Village."

Liang Guangcan nodded: "My father-in-law is right, let's set off!"

He waved his hand and said 'Let's go'.

Only then did the five thousand troops stir up dust in the sky and rush towards the Black Wind Stronghold.

Black Wind Village is a hundred miles west of Guangning Mansion.

If one walked there alone, it would take at least six or seven hours.

however.

This group of elite soldiers traveled a long way without rest, and they arrived in only three hours!
Li Xuan rode the Fire Cloud Horse and was in the team, looking towards the mountains not far away.

The entire mountain is covered with ancient black trees, and miasma is steaming from within.

Its shape is like a big bell with buckles, lying across the ground like a wave, stretching out for more than ten miles.

There was vague smoke rising from the mountain, and it was obvious that someone was living there.

"Eunuch Shangguan, what should we do now?" Liang Guangcan couldn't help but look at Shangguan Rou, looking like a subordinate.

Since he has already said that Shangguan Rou will take full leadership of this bandit suppression, he will naturally not make his own decisions.

Shangguan Rou said calmly: "First set up camp on the same spot and rest for an hour. After an hour, we will divide our troops into three groups and enter the mountain to attack Heifeng Village!"

"Which team can board first, everyone in the team will be rewarded 50 taels."

Liang Guangcan smiled: "No problem."

He knew that Shangguan Rou was at the master level.

As long as he leads the army to the front, he will be the first to break through the Black Wind Stronghold.

He didn't mind, as a favor, he gave the reward for being the first to reach Shangguan Rou.

After all, this big head is in Heifeng Stronghold.

He and Shangguan Rou had already agreed that when Heifeng Stronghold was breached and the loot was counted, Dongchang would get [-]% and he would get [-]%.

Soon.

A group of people dismounted and set up camp, eating something to replenish their strength.

After resting for about half an hour.

Tatata!
The sound of horse hooves resounded loudly.

Amidst the flying dust and sand.

Another group of people came over.

This team is so vast that there are actually over a thousand people.

However, this team of people has different shapes, wears different clothes, and has different weapons.

The leader was a middle-aged man about fifty years old, with white beard and hair, and a straight waist, like a sharp sword soaring into the sky.

"The man with gray hair riding a maroon horse is Xie Feng, the owner of Wanjian Villa. He has been replaced three times as a grandmaster and is only a little weaker than the deputy factory governor." Zhao Hao looked at the leading man and whispered.

Li Xuan raised his head and glanced at the approaching men and horses, knowing that they were the Jianghu people who came to suppress the bandits.

Of course, it is said that they are suppressing bandits, but in fact most of them are motivated by free prostitution.

Li Xuan was still inside and saw Du E's figure.

It seems that the monk still has not given up looking for his junior brother.

However, Li Xuan didn't see Princess Hongying and Zuo He, and didn't know where they went.

Logically speaking, they should also be present for things like suppressing bandits.

"Good guy, there are quite a few masters here. I saw several strong men on the Innate Ranking, and even a few people on the Genius Ranking. These people should all be rich. What are you doing here? ?" Zhao Hao glanced at the Jianghu people not far away and frowned slightly.

"Who would think it's too much money?!" Li Xuan shrugged.

It is estimated that in the eyes of this group of Jianghu people, this bandit suppression is just an activity to give away money.

As long as you follow behind, you can pick up money from sacks. Who wouldn't want to do such a good thing? !

"If you want to take advantage of my Dong Factory, you have to see if our deputy factory supervisor agrees." Zhao Hao snorted coldly, "No matter how many heroes you have gathered together, you have to bow down when you see my Dong Factory!"

It seemed to be in response to Zhao Hao's words.

Shangguan Rou left the team and rode the Fire Cloud Horse straight to Xie Feng of Wanjian Villa.

The two communicated for a while.

Shangguan Rou then rode to Li Xuan's side and said:

"Your name is Li Xuan, right? Come with us."
