After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1407: Furious
He has some subsequent plans, and this Uranus Libra may come in handy.

"No problem." Weng Xing summoned the Tianwang Scale and handed it over without thinking, "You are our brothers' savior, you can ask for anything!"

"I'll return it to you after you're done using it." He Lingchuan looked at the Tianwang scale in his hand. Although it was called a "scale", it actually looked more like a pipe. The main body was a long silver pole carved into the shape of a python. The open snake's mouth was actually the feed inlet, and the other end of the snake's tail had a small upturned hole.

There are knobs and scales on the python's body that can be used for precise measurement and timing - the explosion can be customized to take up to three hours.

The finished explosive pill will be pushed out from the snake's tail, and its size is not much bigger than the pill that can choke a person.

Such explosives are small, portable and concealed, no wonder Weng Xing was able to use them to scare Xiaotao Villa.

"I heard that this is a medieval treasure, a one-of-a-kind piece." Next, Weng Xing explained the usage of the Uranus Scale.

Like all high-end magical instruments, it has endless uses, but its usage is simple and clear.

He Lingchuan only needs to try it twice to get the hang of it.

He put away the Tianwang scale and asked the two people again: "When you kidnapped Qian Yu, didn't you ask for Xue Zongwu's information?"

He sent out the nightmare trap to interrogate Qian Yu, and the most detailed question was about Xue Zongwu's habits. The crouching beast on his armor was a gift from a small foreign country to General Xue. Although the demon soul was still a juvenile, the flames it spewed out were enough to burn two living people to ashes in an instant.

"How did you know..." Weng Xing was surprised, while Weng Su was a little embarrassed. "We didn't ask in such detail. We only asked about Xue Zongwu's next itinerary."

Looking back now, his plan was full of loopholes. They were really lucky to be able to successfully take revenge and leave Xiaotao Villa alive.

He Lingchuan stood up.

Having asked his questions, it was time for him to leave.

Weng Xing saw that he was going to leave, and said anxiously: "My benefactor, we are really useful, please accept us!"

He Lingchuan took two steps from the rockery to the wall and said condescendingly: "You two can do whatever you want. If you still want to follow me or are still alive in three months, come to Julu Port."

Weng Su's eyes lit up: "The boards from Julu Port?"

"you know?"

"Everyone in the underworld knows it." Weng Xing grinned, "It's a good place to exchange information."

He Lingchuan smiled slightly: "Three months later, I will return the Tianwang scale to you."

He stepped back and disappeared over the wall.

Weng Su jumped over and took a look. Behind the wall, there was nothing there, not a single person in sight.

"My benefactor has left." As expected, Emperor Jiuyou came and went without a trace.

Weng Xing was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Brother, I am not dreaming, am I?"

Pah, Weng Su slapped him on the neck: "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts! It seems to be true. We can join in three months..."

Weng Su, like Emperor Jiuyou, put his finger in front of his lips and made a hissing sound.

Now that Emperor Jiuyou has left, the barrier has naturally disappeared as well. They still have to be on guard against walls having eavesdroppers.

He then cast a barrier and then picked up the wine gourd on the ground and shook it.

Fortunately, there is still wine: "Come on, continue to have fun and drink!"

The celebration must last for three days and three nights. Moreover, they met the Great Emperor Jiuyou again and saw the dawn of joining the Black Armor Army.

"Respect to the Great Emperor Jiuyou!"

"Here's to joining the Black Armor Army in three months!"

Weng Xing chuckled a few times before asking him, "So what are we going to do in the next few months?"

"Didn't the Great Emperor Jiuyou say that we should do whatever we need to do?"

"So what are we going to do?"

"Kill some more bad guys and save some more good guys."

Weng Xing scratched his head: "Then can we still borrow the name of the Great Emperor Jiuyou?"

After this question was asked, there was an awkward silence.

They only imitated the Jiuyou Emperor once or twice, but they ended up imitating the original and saving them.

So embarrassing.

"Why didn't you ask Emperor Jiuyou himself?!"

"I forgot."

"I don't think the emperor would object! Otherwise, why would he plan to accept us into the army?" Weng Su raised his head and took a deep breath, "Do you know why the Jiuyou Emperor doesn't accept us now? Do you want to wait another three months?"

"why?"

"He still wants to test us." Weng Su said seriously, "So it doesn't matter whether we fight under the banner of the emperor or not, but in the next three months, we two brothers have to perform well."

……

Just as the Weng brothers were living a life of drunkenness and dreams, and as the Yangshan caravan was slowly moving towards the capital of Yao State, the news of the deaths of Xue Zongwu and Qi Yunsheng spread in all directions, casting a thunderclap in the heart of Yao State.

Late at night, in the imperial study of the Tianshui City Palace, the blue bird came with a message.

There was a loud bang outside the door. Something was smashed into the corner of the house. It was so loud that the palace servants outside the door also shook.

Could it be the king’s favorite jade-carved lychee?

Dong, another one, this time it should be a copper paperweight. The jade brick used exclusively in the imperial study should have an extra dent.

"Someone, someone!" King Yao's gloomy voice came out, "Who is on duty in the palace tonight?"

According to the rules of the Yao Court, ministers had to take turns to stay on duty in the palace to deal with emergencies.

The palace maids should all be trembling with fear: "Yes, it is Lord You Rongzhi You."

"Call You Rongzhi to me!"

The majesty of heaven was too much to bear, and the palace maids crawled away; less than a quarter of an hour later, You Rongzhi arrived in a hurry.

He saw two palace servants kneeling on the ground picking up the porcelain and jade fragments, and King Yao was sitting behind the desk with frost on his face. Under the illumination of the fluorescent spores, the wrinkles on his face seemed to have deepened.

"Your Majesty?" You Rongzhi had been with the king for twenty years and could tell at a glance that King Yao was trying hard to suppress his anger.

"Urgent news from Mangzhou." Yao Wang went straight to the point, "Xue Zongwu and his master Qi Yunsheng were assassinated in Xiaotao Villa. The murderer is the leader of the Black Armor Army who has recently appeared in the central and western parts of the Shining Gold Plains!"

You Rongzhi was stunned.

No matter how shrewd he was, he was left speechless for a long time by the news.

Xue Zongwu is dead?
That arrogant murderer actually died at the hands of someone else?

Will he have such a day?
And Qi Yunsheng, the head of the Qi family, was not a good person either. If the master and disciple were not dispatched with a large army, You Rongzhi could hardly imagine who could kill them both.

Now, this person appears.

He noticed that King Yao described the murderer as the "leader of the Black Armor Army" and not the "Nine Nether Emperor" as people had said.

King Yao spoke from between his teeth: "A murderer who hides his head and shows his tail dares to call himself the 'Great Emperor'!"

You Rongzhi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the news needs to be verified. The leader of the Black Armor Army, who used to only operate abroad, actually killed someone in the home of General Xue's father-in-law. This is really strange!"

"There are more than a hundred witnesses, including the guards of the Qi Mansion and the elite soldiers brought by Xue Zongwu!" King Yao pointed to the table, and the palace servant passed the information to You Rongzhi, "One or two people may make mistakes, but what if more than a hundred people make mistakes together?"

You Rongzhi took it with both hands, glanced through it quickly, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.

After the incident, Mangzhou did not dare to be negligent and displayed the highest administrative efficiency in history. On the one hand, it sent people to hunt down the murderer, on the other hand, it filed a case for investigation and compiled dozens of confessions before reporting them to Tianshui City.

There are many details in these confessions, but there are several common points that stand out:
Only three people from the Black Armor Army came, two of them lured General Xue to chase to the north, and then the leader wearing a dragon head mask appeared.

General Xue fought fiercely with the dragon-head mask in the burning hall for a while, but was defeated and beheaded on the spot in front of his troops.

Xue Zongwu was one of the rare and powerful commanders in Yao State. He had experienced many attacks and repeatedly succeeded in counter-killing, which he personally enjoyed talking about. The fact that the Nine Nether Emperor was able to kill Xue Zongwu in a head-on battle was astonishing.

As for Qi Yunsheng's death, there is no evidence because the witnesses are all dead. Xiaotao Villa has retrieved more than 30 bodies from the cliffs of Beishan Mountain, and Mangzhou is inviting a coroner to perform an autopsy.

Where on earth did such a strong man come from?

After turning two more pages, he saw the part about the relief of the dragon head in the case statement. This was almost the exclusive anti-counterfeiting mark of the "Strike Here" of the Nine Nether Emperor, and You Rongzhi had also heard of it.

Mangzhou is closely monitoring the situation of the dragon head relief. If it disappears three days after the incident, it can be basically determined that the murderer is the leader of the Black Armor Army.

This team killed many evil people in the name of acting on behalf of heaven. But in You Rongzhi's view, these were all minor incidents outside Yao Country, and the locals would just listen to and laugh at them as gossip.

Who would have thought that the Black Armor Army would not take action in Yao State, but would have killed Xue Zongwu as soon as they took action!
Although it was a deliberate move, Xue Zongwu was by no means a good target. He was powerful, meticulous, and had abundant energy, and he had tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command.

The target was Xue Zongwu, and the location was chosen to be in Yao State. This was to tell Yao State:
I can!

I can kill anyone I want, even a high-ranking military commander of Yao State!
It was only when King Yao realized this that he became so angry that his hands were shaking: "There are so many officials in Yao State, but he chose Xue Zongwu!"

He doesn't kill those who are easy to kill, nor does he kill those who are useless. Instead, he wants to break the sharpest knife in his hand!

It just happened to be before his 59th birthday celebration.

No one would believe that the other party was not targeting him.

You Rongzhi could think of a lot of bad consequences of Xue Zongwu's death.

First, every spring and summer, Luodian in the north would start to make trouble. Xue Zongwu had been guarding the northern border for many years, using his thundering skills and great reputation to intimidate the Luodian cavalry, saving Yao State a lot of trouble.

Once Xue Zongwu dies, who will guard the northern front?

Secondly, the military power in Xue Zongwu's hands is an important basis for King Yao to confront Qingyang as the regent. Now that this position is vacant, Qingyang will not sit idly by while the pressure is greatly reduced.

Secondly, the Xue family and the Qi family have deep roots in Yao country. How many chain reactions will be caused by such a sudden collapse? You Rongzhi didn't dare to think too much.

The Xue family has offended too many forces over the years. The pillars of the family, Xue Zongwu and Qi Yunsheng, are suddenly gone. How many people are lining up to settle accounts with the Xue and Qi families, as well as their connections?

Things are not going well behind the scenes of Yao Wang Ting.

These are all favorable situations that Qingyang Regent can take advantage of.

"Investigate, we must find the murderer!"
