Chapter 1431: Each Has Their Own Thoughts
This more than half of the Flash Gold Plain was always the territory of the Yao Nation, and it wouldn't work for others to intervene. Was the "Great Emperor Jiuyou" and the Black Armor Army a new idea they came up with? The King of Yao had no idea in his heart.
You Rongzhi thought for a moment, then said: "Actually, it doesn't exclude that the Black Armor Army comes from an unknown force. On the Flash Gold Plain, there has never been a lack of latecomers."
"These latecomers, not early, not late, why did they appear in these few months, and why did they insist on taking action before my birthday celebration? In the end, isn't it targeting us?" Bai Tan sneered, "If there is no major interest relationship, who would be willing to take such a big risk to assassinate General Xue?"
In the end, they were all targeting the King of Yao.
The King of Yao's forehead veins jumped, but he suppressed his anger well.
You Rongzhi sighed secretly in his heart. Who said Bai Tan was reckless? He only said what the King of Yao wanted to hear, and the analysis was not comprehensive.
If you want to point to Qingyang, the Supervisor, as the murderer, you can find a thousand, ten thousand reasons, and each one sounds very reliable.
The key is, is this really the truth?
The monarch and ministers discussed for a while, the King of Yao waved away Bai Tan, leaving only You Rongzhi.
"Things have come to this, chasing the murderer is certainly important, but the turmoil caused by Xue Aiqing's death needs more attention." The King of Yao exhaled a long breath, but it happened before his birthday celebration! No matter who the murderer is, it really found the best timing! "Regardless of whether the murderer has anything to do with Qingyang, the Supervisor, she won't let go of this good opportunity. Look, how will she make trouble?"
"General Xue was relatively..." Tyrannical, killing innocent people indiscriminately, corrupt and soliciting bribes, "... willful. The problems and conflicts he suppressed during his lifetime might all erupt later. Qingyang, the Supervisor, might provoke and utilize them to provoke me."
You Rongzhi then said: "In addition, General Xue passed away suddenly, so his authority is vacant."
Who will top Xue Zongwu's position, who will take over his military power? The King of Yao's face sank, his eyes flickering.
This is the point! This is the most urgent problem placed before the Yao Nation and the King of Yao.
Yao Nation Capital, Youhu Small Shanzhuang.
The Youhu lake was sparkling, and Qingyang, the Supervisor, had developed the habit of resting by the lake. Even though early summer arrived quietly, there was a cool breeze under the shade of the trees here, with birds singing and flowers fragrant.
She sat on a rattan chair, flipping through the materials page by page. The Heavenly Water City Magistrate stood on the side, his body slightly bowed and leaning forward, not daring to breathe.
His immediate superior was supervised and executed by Qingyang, so the Heavenly Water City Magistrate was very respectful in front of Qingyang from then on.
Qingyang carefully finished reading before asking him: "Is all the supplementary information from the Yellow Guardian here?"
"Yes, yes, it's all here."
Qingyang didn't ask why it was missing before, only saying: "Very good, if there is new information..."
The Heavenly Water City Magistrate hurriedly said: "The subordinate will definitely come to offer it."
The Yellow Guardian was supervised and convicted by Qingyang, and it was said to the outside world that he would be executed in five days. However, the Heavenly Water City Magistrate knew a little inside story, and this matter was not simple.
People die, and that's the end of it.
But the Yellow Guardian was already dead, yet Qingyang, the Supervisor, continued to search for new information about the Yellow Guardian, so this purpose was thought-provoking.
Was Qingyang, the Supervisor, unwilling to give up?
He secretly speculated, and his gaze fell on a strange flower and tree.
He hadn't seen this kind of flower before. The outer petals were grayish-white, but the inside was purple-red, and the stamen column was like a needle, which was a bright red.
A gust of wind blew, and the sweet fragrance was pungent.
Qingyang didn't raise her head, but knew what he was looking at: "That is the Phoenix Pomegranate I brought from Lingxu City. The flowers are fragrant and the fruits are sweet, and it can be used to brew wine. You don't have such delicious fruit wine here."
That Phoenix Pomegranate had been planted by her in the Green Palace, and it had grown for twenty years.
Before the National Master Qingyang went to Flash Gold, she specifically asked the Demon Emperor for this Phoenix Pomegranate and said, "'People are not' is fine, 'things are' is enough." The Demon Emperor sighed and gave it to her casually.
The Heavenly Water City Magistrate could only echo.
This position of his was not easy to do. Any official pulled out of Heavenly Water City had more authority than him. Especially after Beijia sent a Qingyang Supervisor to the Yao Nation, the difficulty of his work rose several times.
The infighting in the Yao Court, he understood clearly. Being the magistrate of this Heavenly Water City, he didn't dare to offend either side, destined to be squeezed.
Qingyang shook the information in her hand and was about to speak when He Yang's figure suddenly appeared at the end of the small path.
He ran over all the way and reported in a low voice in Qingyang's ear.
Qingyang's fine eyebrows frowned, her face showing surprise, and then she waved away the Heavenly Water City Magistrate.
The latter felt relieved and left like flying.
Leaving Youhu Small Shanzhuang, he felt relaxed all over, only then discovering that his back was damp, and sweat had soaked his clothes.
Facing Qingyang, the Supervisor, was more stressful than facing the King of Yao.
And Qingyang, who was listening to the intelligence, had her face sink, and the surrounding air became heavy.
"Xue Zongwu assassinated and died? When?"
"Three days ago." He Yang then reported the details.
The more Qingyang listened, the tighter her brows wrinkled, and finally she stood up and paced a few steps:
"Xue Zongwu and Qi Yunsheng actually died, this is really, ha, this is really..."
Xue Zongwu was a high-ranking official with power, fierce martial power, many party members, and a solid foundation, actually falling at this subtle moment.
She immediately realized that variables had come, and opportunities had also come.
Qingyang sneered slightly: "The King of Yao, after hearing this news, will mostly count the deaths of these two people on my head."
She actually had to take the blame for others? "Ha! Idiot!"
"No one knows the origin of this team."
"Precisely because no one knows, it looks even more like it was created by me. In the eyes of the King of Yao, which opponent is stronger than me? Xue Zongwu's death, who benefits more than me?" Qingyang stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the blooming Phoenix Pomegranate flowers, "This 'Great Emperor Jiuyou' has such great ability? Interesting."
"Mang Continent is investigating how many foreign teams are in the city that night." He Yang said, "Because the King of Yao's birthday celebration is imminent, this is a massive project."
Xue Zongwu was killed at Little Peach Shanzhuang, so the murderer very likely lived in Mang Continent.
Qingyang asked again: "You just said, the two strange-looking demon beasts that dragged Qi Yunsheng were...?"
"Yes, a yellow tiger with a hinge tail, and a giant porcupine, but it could shrink itself into a round ball." He Yang replied, "These two demon beasts were killed by Qi Yunsheng, and the corpses were collected by the Mang Continent County Government for inspection. Our people also tried to go and see, saying that the body proportions of these two monsters were somewhat uncoordinated."
"Uncoordinated?"
"It looks like it was forcibly pieced together. The tail bone of the Hinge-Tailed Tiger even had traces of being polished by humans."
"Uncoordinated demon beasts, forcibly pieced together techniques, hmm..." Could it be?
This matter, the more Qingyang thought about it, the more weird it felt.
The Black Armor Army, which had always fought under the banner of acting on behalf of heaven and eliminating violence, couldn't be those people she knew, right? Those people couldn't do anything good.
But those strange demon beasts sounded very much like their work.
She said to He Yang: "You send a letter to central Flash Gold for me."
She had to confirm something.
"Yes."
He Yang waited for the following, but Qingyang fell into deep thought.
The murderer beheaded Xue Zongwu; if it wasn't for revenge, it was with ulterior motives, perhaps even calculating her in.
Being secretly spied on and secretly utilized didn't feel good. She didn't like it, but—
But Xue Zongwu's death was indeed a good opportunity.
If you don't take what heaven gives, you will be blamed. How could she miss it? "Xue Zongwu was indeed on my list, I didn't expect someone to take action faster than me." And more violent, directly taking his life, "The vacancy left after his death must be filled by someone."
The King of Yao wasn't a vegetarian either, she had to act as soon as possible.
"Besides the Yellow Guardian, you find the information of these people for me." Qingyang read a long list of names.
If there were others on the side, they would be shocked, but she smiled lightly: "These are all big and small tumors of the Yao Nation. It's not easy that Xue Zongwu, this protective umbrella, has fallen. I will exercise the duty of Supervisor to clear the poison and remove the stasis for the Yao Nation, and scrape the bone to heal the wound."
He Yang recorded them one by one.
He knew that when the Palace Master took action, it would definitely be thunderous.
The King of Yao's birthday celebration, this time it was truly lively.
After He Yang retired, she felt something, and closed the doors and windows again, taking out the small statue and placing it on the long table against the wall, lighting incense.
The Heavenly God was looking for her again.
Red Hut, outskirts of Lan City, Pei Nation.
A brown-backed shrike landed on the window lattice, and the gate-keeping boy handed over a profound crystal the size of a rice grain. The shrike spat out a slip of paper, swallowed the profound crystal, and flew away flapping its wings.
The boy held the slip of paper, walked through the hall and corridor, entered the underground secret room, and walked to his master's side.
As he walked, there were some strange sounds all around, like ghosts crying, like beasts roaring.
The master of Red Hut knocked on the table impatiently: "Quiet!"
After two muffled thuds, the entire secret room was silent, and a needle could be heard falling.
Only then did the master of Red Hut take the slip of paper from the boy and unfold it to watch.
At this look, his eyes narrowed, and his face became more and more solemn.
"General Xue Zongwu of the Yao Nation, Qi Yunsheng of Qingshan, were beheaded by the leader of the Black Armor Army?"
"The murderer also used my Hinge-Tailed Yellow Tiger and Pill Bug Porcupine?"
He threw the slip of paper aside, stroked his chin and muttered to himself: "What is going on?"
Who was Xue Zongwu? A powerful figure in the Yao Nation who held military power, a confidant and beloved general of the King of Yao. Qi Yunsheng was the head of the Qi family in Mang Continent. The Qi family had been prosperous for sixty or seventy years and was one of the old-fashioned wealthy families in the Yao Nation.
This pair of father-in-law and son-in-law, who were powerful, died in Mang Continent at the same time, dying in their own territory.
This letter said that although the dragon-head totem appeared at Little Peach Shanzhuang, the Yao Nation still doubted whether the murderer was the Great Emperor Jiuyou.
On this point, the master of Red Hut could confirm it.
Because his two demon puppets were taken away by the Black Armor Army at Green Shanzhuang!
Strange, from Green Shanzhuang to Mang Continent, the journey was long, by water and land. If the two demon puppets didn't listen, how could the Black Armor Army transport them so far without attracting attention along the way?
Why let them attack Qi Yunsheng and his son-in-law? The taming and control of demon puppets were essentially different from demon beasts, which ordinary people couldn't imagine at all.
Not to mention, the master of Red Hut originally felt strange, why did the Black Armor Army want to capture the Hinge-Tailed Tiger and the Pill Bug Porcupine?
