Two Realms: I use martial arts to ask for longevity

Chapter 126: Quick and chaotic, the city guard returns home (please subscribe)
"This is it."

Following Qian Sanliang into this small courtyard with green walls, before entering the house, he saw two corpses arranged neatly in front of the central hall.

One is a middle-aged woman, and the other is a simple and honest young man.

Judging from the hands and feet of these people, they are all covered with calluses and have cracks from frostbite. They are obviously from poor families.

"I've asked the neighbors. The owner here is called Wu Dayou. He is not very old. There is only one sweeper, cook and errand boy in the house..."

Tang Lin'er walked out with a frown on her face, a hint of doubt on her face, "Looking at the traces, it seems that Li Yuankang escaped not long ago, and there is still a little warmth in the bed."

"Is there anything special about it?"

The news reported was lackluster.

In fact, the whereabouts of the cook and the servant are also very clear. The two people were surrounded by black energy and their heads were cracked. They were obviously killed by someone using magic skills with heavy methods.

"here."

Tang Lin'er led everyone into the house and pointed at the deep red flesh strips on the ground... Then he opened the quilt and saw blood stains inside the quilt.

"According to my observation, Li Yuankang should have suffered some torture. These strips of meat did not come from the two servants outside the door. The only possibility is that they came from him."

This is easy to understand.

Thinking that in the middle of the night, old monk Guangming went straight to the bamboo garden in the backyard of the county government office, and even went straight to the pen holder to get a pen without knowing what was happening.

It should have been interrogated from Li Yuankang.

The two "master and apprentice" finally turned against each other.

The old monk Guangming also showed a ferocious face.

Thinking of Li Yuankang being tortured by the old monk in various ways in this house, Zhou Pingan felt no pity in his heart, but felt more pleasure.

However, this guy is really tough.

Even though he had an arm and a leg broken, no flesh underneath, and even one of his eyes was blind, he was still able to withstand the torture of Monk Guangming and maintain his strong vitality. He even killed his subordinates brazenly, and Escape.

"In this case, he has not lost his will to survive. It is very likely that he still has a trump card, or in other words, a glimmer of hope."

Zhou Pingan put himself in his shoes and understood what Li Yuankang was thinking.

First, let me tell you some real news to survive the life-and-death test.

Then, look for opportunities to escape. As long as you survive and practice the Five Desire Demonic Skills, you can get revenge.

"It seems that there is some discrepancy with what I guessed before, that after the Five Desires Demon Skill is mastered, the location of the [Prison Suppression and Demon Subduing Sutra] will be sensed. Li Yuankang probably knew about the most powerful body training in advance. The magic scripture is located, but he is not strong enough to practice it, or he cannot succeed."

"Obviously the old monk also thought of this, so even if he asked for the information, he did not kill Li Yuankang directly, but spared his life.

However, wouldn't he set some restrictions? No matter how much emphasis is placed on body training and defense in the Mingwang Temple inheritance, for an old Jianghu, he must know some blood-cutting techniques. "

"It's really hidden." Lin Huaiyu turned around and looked at him, his expression not good-looking.

He said softly: "This person is in some danger. If we haven't found him for a day, we can't take it lightly. It seems that we not only have to send people to look for Qiye Tan, but we also have one more thing to do."

This manpower is stretched thin and somewhat insufficient.

"It's okay. When tomorrow comes, there will be no shortage of manpower."

Zhou Ping'an took a deep look at the meat strips on the ground and ordered two people to leave to deal with the follow-up here. The rest of them would wait until dawn to inspect the Dongcheng residences and go out of the city to inquire about various towns.

……

It was getting light.

Now that Li Yuankang has escaped, given his cultivation, even if he is disabled, if he really wants to hide, ordinary nurses will not be able to find him.

Because that guy's Five Desire Demon Skill has reached the second level of "Lust and Lust Level" and is about to be completed. Although his spiritual practice is a little worse than his own, it's not too different.

Using his greed attack, he was able to affect even Monk Guangming in the True Qi Realm for a moment.

Even if Li Yuankang's mental attack did not reach this level, Lin Huaiyu and Qingnv, who were in the five internal organs realm, had confirmed that they were not immune to this effect.

As for ordinary nursing homes, there is no need to do anything. Just throw a desire or thought attack at them, and you may not even know if anyone is passing by.

If you are confused, he will pass by you without even realizing it.

After sending out manpower to inquire about the strange-looking disabled man, Zhou Pingan actually did not expect these subordinates to catch him.

Just knowing a rough location is enough.

"I'll just let you bounce a little longer."

Thinking that Li Yuankang might still have a hidden inheritance, or that he could follow the clues and get information about the [Prison-Suppressing Demon-Suppressing Sutra], Zhou Ping'an felt a little warm in his heart.

After a second thought, he regained his calm state of mind again.

After passing the barrier of greed, there is also a benefit, that is, the greedy heart basically does not exist in his heart.

It doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, it means it can be controlled freely.

You will not be fooled by the huge benefits you are about to receive.

Keep your mind extremely clear at all times.

Old monk Guangming obviously couldn't do this at the beginning. He was controlled by greed. He clearly had a trump card in his hand, but he turned it into a bluff.

I have to say, this is a complete tragedy.

……

"Where's Lin Ziqi?"

At three o'clock in the day, Zhou Ping'an just rested in the room for a while, then decided to strike while the iron was hot and take action again.

He informed the third lady, ordered all the nursing staff, and marched to the city guard barracks...

The city guard is stationed in a vast flat area in the west direction of the city, under the corner of the city wall.

In the middle of the camp, there is a towering tiger flag.

Very easy to find.

Looking back, I felt like I had overlooked something.

After thinking about it carefully, I have never seen Lin Ziqi again these days, ever since Xiao Jiuer was attacked and killed Wei Dazui.

As the leader of the nursing home.

At the beginning, perhaps because of the serious consequences of a moment of negligence, you were afraid to see people and hid in the name of recuperating.

However, so many days have passed.

So many things have happened in the Lin Mansion. Now, even the county government has been captured and the county magistrate has been killed. It would be too much for him not to show up.

"Your Majesty, Commander Lin has led his two brothers out of the city and up the mountain a few days ago. He vowed not to return home until he found the seven-leaf epiphyllum to make amends for his past mistakes."

A stout young man with a tiger-like head jogged and saluted.

Seeing his nervousness and excitement, Zhou Pingan guessed that this guy was his fan.

He looked familiar. It seemed that he was there when they went to Guiwei Cliff to set up a trap to kill Deng Yuanhua and Gao Jin.

They are considered the elite in the nursing home.

He looks like he has good health. He has been training hard for a year or two, has a sufficient supply of medicine, and has the opportunity to enter the stage of strength training.

"What's your name?"

"My lord, general, no, I am... the villain's name is Wei Hu, the lord can just call me Hutou."

Wei Hu rubbed his head and said with a smile.

He participated in every battle, and he knew better than the nursing staff next to him how powerful the chief minister with a gentle smile was. How scary it is in terms of means and martial arts advancement.

Sometimes, he even felt that if the Lin family was the leader, let alone dominate Qingyang City, maybe they would already be the only one in Guangyun County...

Compared with the third lady Lin Huaiyu, he is more suitable to be the head of the family.

Wei Hu was filled with excitement when he thought about the heights he might reach by following this person in the future.

At this time, of course, you have to be the first to make meritorious deeds. If you are quick, you will be successful, but if you are slow, you will not.

"Hutou, you are not bad. Please tell me in detail what Lin Ziqi has been doing these days..."

As the leader of a nursing home, it is unprofessional to lead people to the depths of the Black Mountains to search for medicinal materials.

It’s okay if you don’t speak professionally.

He didn't even report it to the government. Lin Huaiyu had already said that all matters, big and small, and personnel deployment would be arranged by himself.

However, I didn't hear that Lin Ziqi had any intention of leaving the house.

Is this an opinion against yourself?
"Forget it, don't worry about him, go to the city guard station first."

Is a martial arts master in the marrow refining realm dissatisfied with his rise to the top?
In Zhou Ping'an's view, this trivial matter is not worth bothering with. He just ordered the guards to come and see the commander if they saw him.

When they arrived at the door of the barracks, Zhou Pingan led dozens of people and drove straight in. They found that there was not even a sentry guarding the door.

The camp was buzzing with noise, and from time to time I saw people gathering together and playing leaf cards. Copper coins and broken silver were piled in front of everyone. The onlookers were shouting and making bets.

Going further, when we arrived at the martial arts field, we saw that there was no one to help even the weapons that fell down, and there was no one to practice.

On the other hand, when passing by, thunderous snoring could be heard from the houses on both sides.

Most people are sleeping.

"How long has it been?"

Tian Shouyi had been dead for less than five days, and the city guards were already in ruins. If the Red Lotus Army counterattacked the city at this time, the people who resisted would not even have time to run to the city wall.

Zhou Ping'an didn't care whether he was dead or not.

He knew that these people only served as soldiers to eat food. No one cared about them, so they naturally herded sheep.

With the acting style of the confused county magistrate Li Yunxiu, who only cared about his own happiness, it was very possible that he didn't bother to take a second look at these soldiers in the city guard.

Not to mention sending people to rectify military discipline.

What Zhou Ping'an was curious about was that after Tian Shouyi's death, wouldn't there be another prestigious person in the city guard who would come out to call for strict military discipline?

Where are the cavalry troops who are all headed by Lei Lie, and the infantry troops who are all headed by Gu Dashi?
Could it be that these two people were also starting to behave badly.

Also, what about the hundreds of elite guards who were seen in the county captain's mansion that day?

Did they all take the money and abscond?

"He who comes, stop there..."

The group of people walked all the way to the entrance of the lobby when a man with a beard, wearing leather armor and holding a long gun stopped in front of them.

Behind him, there was a middle-aged scholar with a sad face, weak and standing aside with his head and neck...

"The new county captain, Mr. Zhou, came to take over the city guards. How come no one came to take over? Along the way, the defense was also slack and it was a mess?"

At this time, Tang Lin'er needed to take action.

This guy is bluffing, it sounds like he is telling the truth.

"Lord County Captain?"

The bearded man looked at Zhou Pingan and the dozens of energetic men following him. He was slightly suspicious, put down his spear, and said nothing more.

The middle-aged scholar next to him, on the other hand, looked ecstatic.

"Sir, Master Zhou, if you don't take office, the camp will soon be short of food."

While talking, he took out the volume in his arms and asked Zhou Pingan to read it.

"Hey, there's still food and grass..."

"stop……"

"This, you are the quartermaster?"

"My subordinate Tian Wuyong has little fame. He was born as a scholar. He was invited by Dong Weng and served as a teacher for three years..."

"Okay, we'll discuss your matters later. First, gather drums, raise tents, and order troops."

It was such a chaotic mess. Not to mention the combat effectiveness, I couldn’t even figure out how many people were still in the camp. What about the logistics?

Seeing Tian Wuyong, a talented scholar, looking like a savior, he must have been forced by the military leaders. The camp was short of supplies. At this time, he wanted to take the blame.
"Dong dong dong..."

The three-way drum sounds.

On the school field in front of the lobby, one after another, people rushed over cursing.

Most were disheveled and had obviously slept heavily.

However, the deterrence of military orders is still relatively large.

Although he was very dissatisfied, he still dared not ignore it when the drum beat sounded.

"It should be that the news of Tian Shouyi's death had already reached the city guard barracks, and the soldiers were disheartened. That's why the current situation has occurred."

Zhou Pingan just stood quietly in front.

Dozens of people behind him stood in silence, motionless.

Gradually, more and more sergeants came to the school grounds. Zhou Ping'an made a cursory observation and found that there were about 1,200 people coming.

If we calculate based on the actual number of city guards that we have discovered, there are still 300 people who have not arrived.

The city guard is known as two thousand elites.

In fact, Tian Shouyi was able to maintain the number of real people at 1,500, which was considered very conscientious. It must be said that he managed the basic base of his life very well.

It’s also very prestigious.

Judging from the immediate collapse of the morale of the City Guards after he was assassinated, it seems that Li Yunxiu did not interfere with the City Guards. Perhaps it was not that he did not want to intervene, but that he did not have many good options.

"Where is the head of the cavalry army? Get out of the queue."

Zhou Ping'an waited until the soldiers on the scene gradually became quiet before he spoke slowly.

The sound spread throughout the school grounds.

But there was no reaction.

Only a murmur was heard.

Zhou Pingan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was amused in his heart, "Okay, I finally found the chicken."

Lei Lie naturally didn't come.

Along the way, with Zhou Pingan's keen senses, he even heard the guy's shouting and playing cards.

It was impossible for him not to hear the sound of drums gathering, but he completely ignored it. He knew what the other party was thinking without thinking too much.

Moreover, Zhou Ping'an also found that the infantry troops were all worried about the arrival of Gu Dashi himself, and almost all of his soldiers were here as well.

However, only dozens of Ma Jun came.

Most of the hundreds of people who didn't arrive were members of the cavalry army.
