The other Zhou Qingren, who was dressed roughly the same as him, and whose military rank should be similar, was furious in his brows, and his already red face was even more red now.
"What a bunch of rubbish, so many people, no one noticed that the thief sneaked in and let him kill seven Dafu supervisors in a row. How can this happen? If the murderer can't be caught, I, Zhou Qingguo, worked hard for half a year. , it's about to come to nothing." The red-faced general Zhou Qing said angrily.
The general Zhou Qing who spoke at the beginning also looked very gloomy: "Efforts are in vain? It's too simple to think. If Zhou Qing can't give Dafu an explanation, Zhou Qing will definitely pay a painful price, and I'm afraid many people will die."
He picked his eyes and squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "Bear the brunt, you and I will die the fastest."
The red-faced general Zhou Qing's eyelids twitched violently, and he kicked down a valet next to him, shouting angrily, "Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and inform all the middle-level generals, if the murderer can't be caught, let them hold their heads to see you. I!"
The attendant rolled and crawled into the distance.
The two generals were about to speak when suddenly, the air distorted, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of the two generals Zhou Qing.
I saw a girl dressed in red, with a heroic face, but not losing her beauty. She appeared out of nowhere. There was a red rune about the size of a cinnabar mole between the girl's eyebrows. It looks very strange.
Such a pleasing girl appeared in the eyes of the two generals of Zhou Qing, but their faces trembled, and a few drops of sweat dripped down their cheeks.
"Lord Shi Yu... The young general has dispatched various ministries to conduct a rigorous search, and I believe it will be available soon..." The two generals hurriedly knelt on one knee and saluted, and one general spoke in a panic.
"Can you see the murderer's appearance clearly?" The girl in red called Shi Yu interrupted General Zhou Qing's words and asked in a stiff tone.
The interrupted general Zhou Qing buried his head lower: "The murderer is a powerful cultivator, not far from the sky barrier, and he made a ruthless and decisive move. In just a few breaths, all seven adults were killed by him. The whole body is wrapped in Tsing Yi, and the face is wearing a mask, so..."
Before he finished his words, the girl in red might not want to listen to him anymore, and pointed her right index finger lightly at the general speaking.
In the rune between her brows, there was a wave of spiritual energy, and a red light beam shot out from her index finger, piercing the center of my general's brow in the blink of an eye.
The general just fell to the ground and died without even twitching.
On the face of the remaining red-faced generals, the blood faded, and the originally flushed face turned a little pale, and he looked at Shi Yu with a look of horror in his eyes.
Shi Yu looked away, searched around and said, "You go and inform Zhou Qingguo, the big and small generals, if you can't catch the murderer, this person is your lesson."
The red-faced general nodded again and again, got up and stumbled away.
As all the surrounding Zhou Qing people left, the air beside Shi Yu distorted, and a middle-aged man in a gray suit appeared strangely.
Shi Yu asked the middle-aged man in Jinzhuang: "What did you find out?"
There was a strange color in the eyes of the middle-aged man in strong suit, his expression did not fluctuate, and he calmly said: "It's strange, my rune eye can't see anything, it's as if the person disappeared out of thin air."
"Your talisman eyes have always been unfavorable, maybe the assassin has some treasure to cover up." Shi Yu frowned slightly.
"But a few overseers died, and most of them are not from the blood of Dafu. Is it necessary to spend so much trouble?" the middle-aged man asked.
Shi Yu glanced at the middle-aged man and explained: "You have been under my command for more than six years, and I have told you many times not to focus on cultivation, but to dabble in other things. In the eyes of these small countries, I am a giant. A big country, every move has its own majesty, if they give up so easily this time, their fear of my Dafu will be weakened."
The middle-aged man shook his head and looked into Shi Yu's eyes: "County Lord, Zhong Lin is not stupid, no matter what happens to this small country like ants, it is impossible to lose his reverence for Dafu, and even if he loses his reverence So what? If it is destroyed, why delay the progress of mining and make the lord unhappy for nothing."
Shi Yu gave Zhong Lin a surprised look, and smiled, "Then why do you think I'm looking for this murderer with such a big fanfare?"
"Maybe it's the county owner's playfulness, right? When Zhong Lin was young, he also liked the feeling of dominating a country and taking life and death."
Shi Yu heard that Zhong Lin, who had always been sluggish, was able to guess his own thoughts so accurately.
She once again turned her attention to Zhou Qing and said coldly, "No matter what, if Zhou Qing can't give me an explanation, they will deeply know what fear is."
Not far from them, there was a black quagmire, as if it had existed there from the beginning to the end, without any fluctuations or strange places.
Zhong Lin and Shi Yu passed by the quagmire and couldn't help but shut their sense of smell. The stench from the quagmire made them quite uncomfortable.
The two of them disappeared, and the quagmire suddenly changed, and the black silt stood up strangely, and strangely condensed together to outline a human shape.
Immediately, the details on the human figure were revealed, and it was a man in Tsing Yi.
He was enveloped in cyan, with cyan clothes, cyan gloves, and cyan visor, but the cyan gloves were stained with a lot of jet-black things.
It was the jet-black blood of Dafuren, intertwined with Tsing Yi and red blood, and turned into a dull blood scab.
"Fortunately, these two unfathomable powerhouses were not there at the time, otherwise I would have been killed the moment I shot."
Tsing Yi's heart lingered in fear. The two big talisman powerhouses just now were very powerful. Even if he turned into a quagmire and felt the breath of the two powerhouses, he would still feel the terrifying pressure lingering around him.
"I don't know if the country lord helped me deliver that letter." He murmured in his heart, thinking of the girl in white.
His thoughts were dissipated by his shaking his head in an instant, and his face was covered by a mask, making it impossible for people to speculate on his mood.
"Meng Gui is Tai Cang's Meng Gui, even if he turns into a stinky quagmire, he must fight for a future without flaws for Tai Cang."
He thought to himself, and his figure flashed, moving towards the distance.
The back is solitary and fearless.
Chapter 67 Jiaolong
Ji Xia led his army back to Taicheng, and brought hundreds of the heads of the dove dog royal family, the corpse of the dove dog king, and the bones of many sages.
This made Ji Xia's position in Tai Cang infinitely higher. For several days, the people of Tai Cang spontaneously went to the square in front of the palace, knelt down silently, and greeted Ji Xia.
This is even more true for the officials of Tai Cang. Even the court will look at Ji Xia differently, with a little more respect and admiration than before.
Of course Ji Xia is happy to see such a thing, this kind of sincere feeling is very rare, and the number of spirit species in the Forbidden Divine Tree can rapidly increase, which is extremely happy for Ji Xia.
Today, he and Jing Ye were walking on the streets of Taicheng. Many Taicang people saw him from a distance, so they gave him a big salute from a distance, and did not come to disturb him.
"City Lord Poxian has broken through his supernatural powers, and the ten-day food that he has bestowed on his people has already been distributed, right?" Ji Xia, dressed in a loose robe, carried his hands on his back, walked leisurely on the street, nodding to the surrounding people from time to time.
"Returning to the country, the Taicheng Mansion came to report yesterday that the food has been distributed for the tenth day, and it is distributed according to the standard of three meals a day. Countless people have received the food, and they all spontaneously went to the Gale Statue to pray for the country's lord and Tai Cang. Woolen cloth."
Jing Ye also had a bit of joy on his face. The food for three meals a day on ten days, even the imperial court in front of him, the lord of the country, would feel heartbroken, not to mention the ordinary Taicang people who were in short supply.
"Let them eat it with confidence, don't hide it, just say that Tai Cang Yinwei went out to dove dogs and found a solution to the food."
Ji Xia knows nothing about the mentality of the people of his own country. They are hungry and afraid. Occasionally, they have plenty of food, but they are reluctant to eat. I hope that in the future, food shortages can be used to survive disasters.
"Now there are more than [-] spirit crystals. Even if the people of Tai Cang eat openly, they can last for a long time." Ji Xia thought happily.
Thinking of the purpose of this trip again, the lightness in my heart suddenly became a little heavier.
"It's been ten days since Meng Gui left Tai Cang, and I don't know if the big plan has been accomplished." Ji Xia took out a letter from his sleeve and said to himself, "If Meng Gui makes good use of the mask's ability to transform into a quagmire, he can escape back home. Tai Cang shouldn't be difficult."
In the past few days, his heart has always been inexplicably palpitated. It must be known that his cultivation is extremely extraordinary, and his physical strength is even stronger. How can he have unprovoked palpitations?
"Before it is rumored that the celestial barrier, the cultivator can have a slight sense, and can learn some secrets from it. Could it be that the ghost has failed?" Ji Xia frowned and thought.
After walking for a long time and seeing a lot of people's livelihood, I finally came to an alley in the west of the city. This alley is the same as most alleys in Taicheng. It is simple and dilapidated.
Many buildings in Tai Cang were built a long time ago, and they were all stone houses. The people did not have enough food, so they did not have enough energy to repair these buildings, and wood materials, which consume less energy, must be used for heating.
