Chapter 488: Chief Capture (First update)
Ruan Yushu was obviously stunned. This was no better than the delicacies of Shendu. She could answer questions fluently.
After pondering for a while, she lightly knitted her eyebrows and said while thinking: "I once heard from my grandfather that the Zhao family in the divine capital currently has two strong men with half-step Dharmakaya. One is named Zhao Wuyan, who was born many generations ago. He was extremely senior, already over one hundred and eighty years old. If he had not extended his lifespan earlier, he would have passed away. One of them was the youngest uncle of the current emperor, named Jingshi, who had just turned eighty. He was older than the magician and the madman. The king was also a man of great influence in the past."
"It's a pity that he was defeated by a sharp-edged magician in his prime, leaving a shadow, so that he stayed in the imperial mausoleum for thirty years. It was only in recent years that he got rid of his spiritual troubles and stepped into the half-step of Dharma body. realm."
If we talk about the top combat power of the family, apart from the Cui family of Pingjin and the Gao family of Changle, the Zhao family in the divine capital can almost be tied with the unfathomable Wang family in Jiangdong... Meng Qi secretly sighed: "These two strong men are currently in the divine... All?"
The reason why Changle Gao was placed in the front was because Meng Qi felt that his "big brother" Gao Lan, the former mad king, might have secretly condensed his Dharmakaya!
"At least there will be one in the capital of the gods. The 'Eight Extremes Heavenly Dragon' Zhao Jingshi may still be sitting in the imperial mausoleum to perfect his soul." Ruan Yushu is deeply favored by the elders and knows many secrets. "There are so many other powerful people in the royal family that it is really difficult to As you know, well, two of the eight great masters are descendants of the Zhao family..."
She told everything she knew, her voice was cold and sweet, like the sound of a piano.
While listening, Meng Qi thought carefully about the possibility of any powerful royal family coveting the throne, trying to fish in troubled waters, but he had no clue, because there were quite a few who were in a position where they could benefit from it.
He put the matter aside for the time being and was about to say goodbye when he suddenly frowned.
"Is something wrong?" Ruan Yushu's eyebrows moved slightly.
Meng Qi took a breath: "I thought it was logical before, but now I think about it, it's quite wrong. With the strength gap between Guangcheng Tianzun and Chang Qing, even if he is a decent man and doesn't do unnecessary killings, he can be killed before Chang Qing notices it." It's so easy to knock him out. How could he see clearly the mask he was wearing? It was obvious that Xianji was involved in this matter."
Could it be that Guangcheng Tianzun told him deliberately?
Does this mean that he also knows his true identity?
Meng Qi got into this trouble and couldn't get out of it for a while.
"The dart was divided into two parts, and the other part was obtained by Luo Jiao and Mie Tianmen. However, they have no whereabouts and are extremely hidden and difficult to find. In this case, if you want to get the dart together, of course you have to 'lead the snake out of the hole.'" There was no doubt in Ruan Yushu's dark eyes, he just felt that this matter was a matter of course.
Meng Qi suddenly realized that Guangcheng Tianzun deliberately left traces in order to let Luo Jiao and Mie Tianmen follow the clues to find them. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to find the two evil sects that were perfectly hidden in such a great city.
"Aren't they afraid that the Luo Jiao and the Mie Tian Clan will find out their plans and use them to their advantage?" Meng Qi felt that the Immortal Trail was a bit risky. No one knew how many strong men the Luo Jiao and the Mie Tian Clan had come to.
Ruan Yushu pursed his lips: "Maybe they have something else to rely on."
She paused and then said, "What would you do if they encountered them?"
"What can be done? When gods fight, mortals stay away and hide as far away as possible." Meng Qi answered subconsciously.
Ruan Yushu shook his head: "The Shendu Grand Formation is partially activated and can sense larger movements and respond accordingly. If they don't want to stay in the Shendu forever, they will definitely cut off their connection with the power of heaven and earth during the fight. In this case , the gap between you and them is infinitely narrowed, and there is no shortage of uses.”
Meng Qi nodded thoughtfully: "That's true. Unless they go to fight outside the city of God, but if they want to lure the other party out of the city of God, the marks of the ax are too obvious, so I'm afraid no one will be fooled."
"Actually, what I most hope is that they each take half of the darts, so that the conspiracy behind them can no longer be launched, so that it will not interfere with the Qionghua Banquet and allow us to successfully complete the mission. However, it seems that they are not willing to give in. Sooner or later, there will be a contest. It would be better to obtain the Immortal Miracle.”
After being reminded by Ruan Yushu, Meng Qi suddenly felt that it was possible for him to "frontally compete" with the powerful ones on location!
After leaving Ruan's house, it was almost dusk, and Meng Qi went straight to the Six Doors headquarters.
With the previous attack on him as a background, he could go there without hesitation. As long as it was infrequent, he would not arouse suspicion.
"Mr. Su, I haven't seen you for a long time. You're fine." As soon as Meng Qi entered the ancient garden, he met a head catcher. He had a long beard and narrowed his eyes. He was dressed in dark red clothes and had a silver hanging around his waist. Zhang, but the silver thread was replaced by a purple ribbon.
Meng Qi recalled for a moment and remembered who this person was. He smiled and handed over his hands: "Has Mr. Qian been transferred to the Shendu headquarters?"
This person is none other than Qian Kai, the Yin Zhang arrester in Yingcheng, who once teamed up with Meng Qi to track down Lao Zhong.
Qian Kai chuckled and said: "I was lucky enough to force Shinhwa away, help the prince out of trouble, accumulate merit and be promoted, and be transferred back to the capital of the gods."
He was transferred back to the capital for helping the prince... Meng Qi looked at Qian Kai more carefully. Did this guy secretly vote for the prince?
"I didn't know at that time that Mr. Su was born in the Shenwei Marquis Mansion, and that he was Su Shen's nephew. It's true that the whole family doesn't know each other..." Qian Kai said after saying a few words, "Qian will hold a banquet in a few days. If Mr. Su has Kong, please show me your face."
Meng Qi chuckled and said, "If I have time, I will definitely go to the banquet."
He had made up his mind not to go, as he did not want to get involved with the prince.
Zhuyi Tower is located in the center of the garden, between several towering trees. It has a quiet and looming environment. It is the office of the head of the Six Gates.
As soon as he arrived at the door, a man walked out. The headhunter's uniform was made of light gold, he was of medium height, his hair was graying, but his eyes were sharp and deep, and it seemed that all the secrets were hidden before his eyes.
His nose is slightly hooked and his face has no wrinkles, but he is dignified and rarely smiles.
What made Meng Qi's scalp numb was that there was a gold thread hanging from his waist, and a dark gold dragon claw hanging from it!
This person must be Ke Weilan's father, Ke Yuzhang, one of the eight great catchers of the gods, the "Dragon Claw God catcher", a powerful master!
Seeing Meng Qi, Ke Yuzhang nodded, his expression neither angry nor annoyed:
"Well done. Without your blow, how could these unscrupulous descendants understand that there is a world outside the world and there are people outside the world, and how could they work hard to avoid becoming playboys."
Even though he practiced the "Great Technique of Transforming the Sky and Striking the Earth" and was good at sensing the other person's emotions, Meng Qi couldn't tell whether Ke Yuzhang was sincerely praising him or implying sarcasm. He was like a dead sea with no waves to be seen!
"God captures the ridiculous praise." Meng Qi cupped his hands and said.
"Come in quickly, the chief is waiting for you." Ke Yuzhang said nothing more and left with his hands behind his back.
Meng Qi took a breath, his heart was like a flat lake with no more ripples, and he stepped into the most mysterious, authoritative and most speculative place in the minds of many people.
The layout of Zhuyi Tower is simple and unpretentious, just like an ordinary residential building.
There is a man standing in front of the building, his face is like the full moon, and his facial features are very good when viewed separately. If he loses weight, he will be a good-looking middle-aged man, but his appearance of gaining weight is really obvious.
He carries a sword around his waist and an ornament hanging from a gold thread. The sword is a purple roc with wings.
"Hello, Uncle Liu." Although he had never met him, Meng Qi could recognize this person's identity. Liu Shengming, the "Purple Peng Divine Catcher" among the Eight Great Divine Catchers, was Liu Shuyu's father and a top expert in the Sixth Heaven.
Liu Shengming smiled like a Maitreya Buddha: "Having a disciple like you in the Su family really makes us envious. It's not bad. No wonder Shuyu is full of praise for you."
"Okay, the emperor and the chief catcher are waiting for you upstairs. You can listen to my chatter during the dinner."
"Dinner party?" Meng Qi was a little confused.
Liu Shengming said with a smile: "The Nanzhou Yu family came to Beijing last night. Because I received help from your father in the past, I came to say thank you today."
"We haven't seen each other for many years. Your father plans to hold a banquet in another courtyard and invite me and others. It will be a lively event and allow the younger generations to get closer to each other, so as not to alienate our friendship."
Hearing what he said felt like a blind date party... Meng Qi's eyes twitched unconsciously.
Liu Shengming said no more, turned around and led Meng Qi upstairs.
The steps on the stairs were old and there was always a creaking sound when stepping on them. However, Meng Qi and Liu Shengming were both extraordinary and adroit, and they climbed up to the second floor silently and entered the chief constable's signing room. .
The room is mostly filled with bookshelves, and the areas that are inconvenient for outsiders to spy on are separated by screens. It is said to be a screen, but it is actually a rare treasure. At least Meng Qi's senses cannot bypass it!
There is a person sitting in front of the screen with the pattern of gods worshiping the Emperor of Heaven, wearing a dragon robe and a crown. His appearance is somewhat similar to that of Zhao Heng and others. When he was young, he was a handsome man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, but now his eyebrows are sparse. , hair is gray, and there are many wrinkles around the corners of the eyes and lips.
Meng Qi suddenly had a strange feeling. Although the current emperor is not strong enough, he is still a first-class expert. His longevity is more than two decades. He is now only about sixty years old, and he is already looking old. It is estimated that he will not live past twenty. years, maybe less.
There is a cushioned chair placed under the emperor's left side. One person sits on it, neither groveling nor domineering.
He has light black and yellow hair, an ordinary appearance, and an indescribable age. He looks like an old man next door or a middle-aged man. He has a wide robe, long sleeves, and a turban on his head.
Sensing him, Meng Qi felt like he was sensing the boundless universe, emptiness, depth, vastness, vastness, and incomprehensible edges.
"The head of the six gates arrested Sima Shi..." Meng Qi whispered to himself.
He doesn't have a famous nickname, but just the words "chief catcher" can make people bow their heads unconsciously.
"I've seen the emperor, and I've seen the chief arrester." Meng Qi saluted as a junior to an elder, instead of kneeling before the emperor.
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing whether it was anger or annoyance. He suddenly burst into laughter and turned to look at Sima Shi: "Sima, you had the same attitude when you first met me. The madness of the Crazy Sword is well-deserved."
Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He did this on purpose. Since it is called Crazy Sword, it must have madness.
Chief Catcher Sima Shiping said calmly: "Those who pursue martial arts should be like this."
After speaking, he looked at Meng Qi: "Tell me about your Jianghu story. Your Majesty and I are very curious."
