After the immortal disappeared

He has some plans for the future, and this scale may come in handy.

"No problem." Weng Xing summoned the Heavenly King Scale and handed it over without thinking, "You are our brother's savior, you can do whatever you want!"

"I'll return it to you after use." He Lingchuan looked at the Heavenly King Scale in his hand. Although this thing is called a "scale", it is actually more like a dry tobacco bag. The main body is a long silver pole, carved in the shape of a python, with an open snake. The mouth is actually the feeding port, and the snake tail at the other end has a small upturned hole.

There are also knobs and scales on the python, which can be used for precise measurement and timing - it can be customized to explode after up to three hours.

The prepared explosive pills will be pushed out from the snake's tail, and are not much bigger than a choking pill.

Such explosives are small, portable and concealed. No wonder Weng Xing can use them to scare Xiaotaoshan Villa.

"I heard that this is a rare treasure from the Middle Ages." Next, Weng Xing explained how to use the Heavenly King Scale.

Like all high-end magic weapons, it has endless uses, but the method of use is simple and clear.

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

He put away the Heavenly King Scale and asked the two of them again: "When you robbed Qian Yu, didn't you ask for Xue Zongwu's information?"

He sent out a nightmare trap to question Qian Yu, and the most detailed question he asked 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 baby, the flames it spewed out were enough to burn two living men to ashes in an instant.

"How do you know..." Weng Xing was surprised, while Weng Su was a little stunned. "We didn't ask in such detail. We only asked Xue Zongwu about his upcoming itinerary."

Looking back now, his plan was full of flaws. The two of them were extremely lucky to be able to successfully take revenge and leave Xiaotao Villa alive.

He Lingchuan stood up.

After he finished asking, it was time for him to leave.

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

He Lingchuan walked from the rockery to the wall in two steps 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 board from Julu Port?"

"you know?"

"Everyone on the road knows it." Weng Xing grinned, "That's a good place to exchange news."

He Lingchuan sighed slightly: "After three months, I will return the scale of the Heavenly King to you."

As soon as he stepped back, the person disappeared from the wall.

Weng Suzong went over and took a look. There was nothing behind the wall, not a single soul.

"My benefactor is gone." Sure enough, Emperor Jiuyou came and went without a trace.

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

Bang, Wengsu slapped him on the neck: "Does it hurt?"

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

Wengsu, like Emperor Jiuyou, put his finger in front of his lips and hissed.

Emperor Jiuyou has left, and the barrier has naturally disappeared. They still have to be careful that the walls have ears.

He then placed a barrier, then grabbed the wine gourd on the ground and shook it.

Fortunately, there is still wine: "Come on, keep having fun and drink!"

Why don’t we celebrate the victory for three days and three nights? What's more, they met Emperor Jiuyou again and saw the dawn of joining the Black Armored Army.

"To Emperor Jiuyou!"

"Join the Black Armored Army in three months!"

Weng Xing laughed a few times before asking him: "Then what are we going to do in the past few months?"

"Didn't Emperor Jiuyou say that you should just do whatever you have to do?"

"What exactly is to be done?"

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

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

When I asked this question, there was an awkward silence.

They only imitated Emperor Jiuyou once or twice, but in the end, they imitated him and saved them.

Embarrassing.

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

"I forgot."

"I don't think the Emperor will object! Otherwise, why would he want to accept us?" Weng Su raised his head and sighed, "Do you know why Emperor Jiuyou doesn't accept us now and has to wait for another three months?"

"Why?"

"He also wants to inspect us." Weng Su said seriously, "So it doesn't matter whether we use the banner of the emperor or not, but in the next three months, we two brothers must perform well."

…

Just when the Weng brothers were dying in drunken dreams, and when the Yangshan caravan was slowly walking towards the capital of Yao Kingdom, the news of the deaths of Xue Zongwu and Qi Yunsheng exploded in all directions, throwing a thunder in the hinterland of Yao Kingdom.

Late at night, in the study room of the Tianshui City Palace, the messenger came.

There was a banging sound outside the door, and something was hit in the corner of the room. It was particularly crisp, and the palace people outside the door also trembled.

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

Boom, another one, this one should be a copper paperweight. There should be an extra dent in the sapphire brick dedicated to the royal study.

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

According to Yaoting rules, ministers must take turns staying on duty in the palace at night to deal with emergencies.

Everyone in the palace should be trembling: "Yes, it's Mr. Yourong."

"Call You Rongzhi to me!"

The power of the sky was unbearable, and the palace people crawled away; less than a quarter of an hour later, You Rongzhi hurried over.

He saw two palace ladies kneeling on the ground collecting pieces of porcelain jade, and King Yao sitting behind his desk condensing the frost. Under the illumination of fluorescent spores, the wrinkles on his face seemed to have deepened.

"Your Majesty?" You Rongzhi had been with the king for twenty years, and he could tell at a glance that King Yao was suppressing his anger.

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

You Rongzhi was stunned.

No matter how cunning he was, he was speechless for a long time after being shocked by this news.

Xue Zongwu died?

That arrogant murderous devil actually died under the knife of others?

He would have such a day?

And Qi Yunsheng, the helmsman of the Qi family, was not a good person either. If the master and apprentice were put together, You Rongzhi could hardly imagine who could kill them together unless a large army was dispatched.

Now, this person appeared.

He noticed that King Yao described the murderer as the "leader of the Black Armor Army" instead of the "Nine Nether Emperor" as the world said.

King Yao spoke from 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 people 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 case, and the palace servant passed the information to You Rongzhi, "One or two people may be wrong, but what if more than a hundred people are wrong together?"

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

After the incident, Mangzhou did not dare to neglect it and burst out with the highest administrative efficiency in history. While sending people to chase the murderer, he filed a case for investigation and summarized dozens of confessions before reporting to Tianshui City.

These confessions have many details, among which there are several prominent common points:

Only three people from the Black Armor Army came, two of whom lured General Xue to chase to the north, and the leader wearing a dragon head mask appeared.

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

Xue Zongwu is one of the rare strong generals in Yao State. He has experienced many attacks and repeatedly completed counter-killing, which he personally talks about with relish. The fact that Emperor Jiuyou was able to kill Xue Zongwu in a frontal battle is astonishing.

As for Qi Yunsheng's death, there is no evidence because the witnesses are all dead. At present, Xiaotao Villa has retrieved more than 30 bodies under the cliff of Beishan Mountain, and Mangzhou is asking the coroner to come for an autopsy.

Where did such a strong man come from?

Turning two more pages, he saw the part about the dragon head relief in the case statement. This is almost the exclusive anti-counterfeiting mark of Emperor Jiuyou's "hit here", and You Rongzhi has 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 justice. But in You Rongzhi's view, it used to be a small fight outside Yao State, and the locals just listened to it and laughed at it as gossip.

Who would have thought that the Black Armor Army would not take action in Yao State, but once they took action, they killed Xue Zongwu!

Although it was a deliberate move, Xue Zongwu was definitely not a good target. He was powerful, meticulous, and had abundant energy, and he had tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command.

He chose Xue Zongwu as the target and chose the place of attack in Yao State, which was to tell Yao State:

I can!

I can kill anyone I want, even the high-ranking military commander of Yao State!

The King of Yao was so angry that his hands trembled when he figured it out: "There are so many officials in Yao State, big and small, but he chose Xue Zongwu!"

He didn't kill the easy ones, nor the useless ones, but he had to break the sharpest knife in his hand!

He chose it before his 59th birthday. No one would believe that the other party was not targeting him.

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

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

Who will guard the northern line after Xue Zongwu's death?

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

Thirdly, the Xue family and the Qi family have deep roots in Yao State. How many chain reactions will be caused by such a sudden collapse? You Rongzhi dare not think too much.

The Xue family has offended too many forces in recent years. Xue Zongwu and Qi Yunsheng, the pillars of the sea, are suddenly gone. How many people are waiting in line to settle accounts with the Xue family, the Qi family, and their relatives?

Yao Wang's court is not peaceful behind.

And these are all good situations that Qingyang Regent can take advantage of.

"Investigate, we must find the murderer!"
