Chapter 284: The trip to Lu County, the fight against evil was in vain

Five days later, the morning light was dim.

Shi Wei and Shi Sheng were dressed in military uniforms, looking heroic. They had already been ready in front of the mansion, ready to rush to Lu County to wipe out the remnants of the Wuji Sect.

Shi Jin, Fan Hua, Luo Yi and Shi Xiaomian came to see them off, their faces full of concern.

Shi Jin walked forward, with some worry in his eyes, and said to Shi Wei and Shi Sheng: "Dad, big brother, the journey to Lu County is long, and Wuji Sect is cunning and treacherous, you must be extra careful."

As she spoke, she took out a blueprint from her bosom and handed it to Shi Wei, "This is the route map to Wujimen and the detailed markings of their base."

"How do you have a map of Wujimen?"

"This was drawn by Xiao Mian herself when I was a guard. She had lurked in Wujimen before and is quite familiar with it. I hope it can help you."

After saying this, Shi Jin glanced at Shi Xiaomian.

This picture was given to her by Shi Xiaomian the night before she left for the expedition.

She knew that the identity of Shi Xiaomian fabricated by the original owner was fake, so she asked her how she got the map.

She said that she made inquiries from many sources and confirmed repeatedly before drawing this picture.

The people in front of her are her father and brother. She must be worried about their safety on this trip, so she tried every means to draw this map for them.

Shi Wei had been worried these days because he didn't know the exact location of Wujimen. Unexpectedly, Shi Jin gave him this accurate map, which was like timely help.

Shi Wei took it, opened it and took a quick look, nodded with satisfaction, put the map away with a smile and said: "Jin'er is thoughtful. With this map, our chances of eradicating Wujimen have increased by another 10%."

Fan Hua said solemnly: "If my father-in-law is in trouble and needs help, you can write a letter and send it to Fengyun Pavilion. They will definitely help you with all their strength."

"Okay, I feel much more at ease with what my dear son-in-law said." Shi Wei responded with a smile.

Shi Xiaomian stood quietly by the side, watching the Shi father and son, as if thinking about something. A hint of worry flashed across her eyes, as if she felt a little uneasy about possible future situations.

On the other side, Shi Sheng and Luo Yi hugged each other reluctantly.

"I will wait for you to come back. Please be careful and don't let yourself get hurt."

"Don't worry, I will return safely." He replied softly.

"He paused slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, lowered his head, and his warm breath gently brushed against Luo Yi's ears. He said softly but firmly: "When I return, I will report to my father and ask him to choose an auspicious day for us to get married and accept the betrothal gift. I will marry you with three letters and six ceremonies, and a sedan chair carried by eight people."

A hint of anticipation and happiness appeared on Luo Yi's worried face, and she said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll marry you."

The two cuddled together for a few more moments before slowly letting go of each other.

After saying goodbye, Shi Wei and Shi Sheng led the Imperial Guards and set off in a mighty force.

They traveled non-stop, hoping to reach Lu County as soon as possible and wipe out the evil force of Wujimen.

New Year’s Eve is approaching, and I hope the people of Lu County can have a good year.

After a journey of two days and one night, they finally arrived in Lu County.

When the Imperial Guards stepped into the streets of Lu County, the people had already spontaneously gathered on both sides of the streets.

In the crowd, a gray-haired old man said excitedly: "We have heard of General Shi's reputation for a long time. With his coming this time, we are saved!"

The young man next to him also echoed: "Yes, we can finally live a peaceful life from now on."

Shi Wei and Shi Sheng walked slowly forward under the gaze of everyone.

County Lieutenant Ye Kun, dressed in a dark green official uniform, stood at the gate of the county government office early in the morning, looking into the distance with a slightly anxious look, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Finally, he saw two figures approaching. They were General Shi and his son Shi Shaoqing.

Ye Kun's face instantly lit up with joy, and he hurriedly took a step forward.

Ye Kun bowed respectfully, then bowed his head slightly, and said humbly and sincerely: "General Shi, Shaoqing Shi, you have traveled all the way by boat and carriage, and you must have worked hard! I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

Seeing this, Shi Wei smiled slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

He had heard some things about the county lieutenant from Shi Sheng and knew that he was a conscientious local official.

He reached out his hand and gently helped the county lieutenant up, saying in a gentle voice: "County lieutenant, you are too polite. We are all here to help the people here live and work in peace and contentment. The short journey is really not a big deal."

Ye Kun invited Shi and his son to the county government office and ordered his men to serve them sumptuous food and wine and entertain them warmly.

During the banquet, Ye Kun's face was full of admiration. He picked up the wine glass, leaned forward slightly, and said to Shi Wei: "General Shi, your great military exploits on the battlefield are well-known and I have heard of your great name for a long time. I am honored to have the opportunity to sit at the same table with you today. It is a great honor for three lifetimes."

His words were full of respect and his eyes sparkled with admiration.

Shi Wei waved his hand modestly with a gentle smile on his face: "County Lieutenant Ye, you are too kind. As a military officer of the imperial court, it is my duty to defend my country and the people. I do not deserve such praise."

His voice was low and powerful, his tone calm but revealing a sense of determination.

Ye Kun then turned his gaze to Shi Sheng, his expression moved, and he said with gratitude: "If it weren't for the help of Shi Sheng that day, our Lu County would not be as peaceful as it is today. Now you have personally led the troops to eliminate the remnants of the Wuji Sect and saved Lu County from the dire situation. On behalf of the people of Lu County, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."

As he spoke, he became more and more excited, and his eyes became slightly red.

Suddenly, Ye Kun bent his knees, stood up abruptly and was about to kneel down to Shi Sheng.

Seeing this, Shi Sheng quickly stood up from his seat, held Ye Kun firmly with both hands, and said anxiously: "The county lieutenant does not need to be so polite. Any court official would stand up in such a situation. I just did my job, and I really don't deserve this courtesy."

Ye Kun then gave up and sat down again with a relieved smile on his face.

Everyone raised their glasses again and had a great time talking.

The next day.

When the Shi father and son arrived at the Wuji Gate according to the route provided by Shi Xiaomian, they found that the place was deserted and only deserted and silent.

Shi Wei frowned, his mind full of doubts: "Why are the people from Wuji Sect so alert and evacuated in advance?"

Shi Sheng walked around the Wuji Gate Hall and said, "I see this place is covered with dust. I guess they left some time ago."

"Then we will return empty-handed."

"They actually evacuated ahead of time, which means they had noticed something and acted very cautiously. Now it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find them. They are nowhere to be found."

"In this case, we have no choice but to return to the capital and report the situation to His Majesty."

After the Shi father and son led their troops out of the hall, Shi Xiaomian's figure suddenly appeared in the hall.

She looked at the deserted Wuji Gate, and a hint of doubt flashed across her eyes.

She murmured in a low voice: "How did the situation change?"

She pondered for a moment, closed her eyes, and her figure disappeared instantly, as if she had never appeared there.

In desperation, the Shi father and son planned to return to Lu County to rest for a night before setting off back to Beijing.

After Shi Wei returned to the yamen, he explained the situation to Ye Kun.

After hearing this, Ye Kun was stunned for a moment, then he realized it belatedly and said slowly, "No wonder the city has been much more peaceful these days. It turns out that they have evacuated from here."

Ye Kun frowned and thought for a moment, then continued, "The last time I heard about Wujimen was a few days ago, when they appeared on the streets and committed murder, causing panic among the people."

After saying this, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he said with emotion: "I hope they will not come back again, so that the people of Lu County can live a more stable life."

Suddenly, Ye Kun seemed to remember something and his expression became serious.

He quickly asked Shi Sheng for advice: "Sir Shaoqing, you are the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, you must have handled many bizarre cases. I have a case that I really can't solve, so I would like to ask you for advice."

"You can go ahead and speak as you please, County Lieutenant." Shi Sheng looked calm and spoke in a calm tone.

"Recently, people have been missing in the city. I have sent people to search all the gangs in the city, but I can't find the missing people. I racked my brains for this, but I still have no clue."

Ye Kun had a worried look on his face as he looked at Shi Sheng eagerly, hoping to get some clues and ideas to solve the case from him.

When Shi Sheng heard the words "people missing", his heart was shaken.

I immediately thought of a similar case that occurred in Kyoto.

It was the Wuji Sect who was behind this. In order to refine the creepy Bloody Puppet, they even used humans to test the drugs.

Thinking of this, Shi Sheng's face became more gloomy. He looked at Ye Kun and said seriously, "County Lieutenant, I guess this matter is probably related to Wuji Sect. As far as I know, a similar case has happened in Kyoto. In the end, it was found that Wuji Sect used innocent people to test drugs in order to refine the Blood Evil Puppet."

Ye Kun was so shocked that his eyes widened and he said in a trembling voice: "It's so vicious, what should we do?"

Shi Sheng thought for a moment and said solemnly, "The most urgent task is to conduct a more detailed search in the city, especially in those remote and uninhabited corners, to see if there are any underground secret rooms. At the same time, we will also ask the family members of the missing persons whether they gave them money before they disappeared. In addition, we will also search everywhere outside the city to see if there are any suspicious people or unusual situations."

Ye Kun nodded repeatedly and immediately started to make arrangements.

In less than half a day, we had found some clues.

It was true that several families received money, which made Shi Sheng even more convinced that his idea was correct.

Following Shi Sheng's instructions, Ye Kun continued to search the city, while Shi and his son patrolled outside the city.

Before they knew it, it was already dark, but they still did not stop their search.

Suddenly, I saw a man in black rushing out from the woods not far away, walking hurriedly.

Shi Wei and Shi Sheng both keenly realized that things were not simple, and looked at each other with the same feeling.

Shi Wei whispered, "Sheng'er, it's a little strange that this person appeared here in the middle of the night."

Shi Wei's voice was low and steady, revealing the sophistication of a veteran.

Shi Sheng nodded and said, "Father, I also think there is something strange."

Shi Sheng made a prompt decision and immediately ordered the people around him: "You guys, quietly follow the man in black and find a chance to capture him."

Then he and Shi Wei led a team of people and headed in the direction where the man in black came out.

Finally they found a hidden cave and they walked into it cautiously.

Shi Wei whispered, "Everyone, pay more attention and be careful."

Everyone nodded in response.

After reaching the depths of the cave, we found many shelves filled with various bottles and jars of medicine.

There is a medicine pool in a corner of the cave, and the black and red liquid emits a disgusting smell.

There are also iron cages of various sizes, which contain more than a dozen blood puppets, all in standby mode.

In addition, there were ten men in black. Some of them were pounding medicine, some were sorting medicine bottles, and some were pouring medicine liquid into the medicine pool, apparently mixing the dosage.

Suddenly, he saw a group of people rushing into the cave. His face changed and he shouted in surprise: "Who are you? How dare you trespass here!"

Shi Wei's face darkened, and he ordered without hesitation: "Don't leave any alive, wipe them all out!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers suddenly fought with the ten men in black in the base and quickly eliminated them.

Shi Sheng looked at the bottles and jars of medicine on the shelf and frowned, "These must be the evil medicines used to refine the Blood Evil Puppet."

His eyes were filled with hatred for the Wuji Sect's evil deeds.

He casually packed up some medicines. Shi Wei saw this and asked in confusion, "What are you going to do?"

"I will take these potions back to Gu'er for research. I hope he can develop an antidote for the Blood Evil Puppet and save more victims."

Shi Wei looked at the Blood Puppet in the iron cage and sighed.

These people cannot be saved. As for the two people in Kyoto, it took a lot of medicinal materials just to draw out the poison. Even if the poison is drawn out, the poison in their bodies cannot be eliminated and they are doomed to die.

Now these blood puppets will probably have the same result.

It would be great if Xu Ruogu could concoct an antidote.

Shi Wei looked around with a resolute expression, determined to eradicate all evil, and said in a deep voice: "We can't keep this place, let's burn it down."

After that, several soldiers pushed over the torches in the cave and set the cave on fire.

Soon the flames burned fiercely, devouring everything in the cave, and the bloody puppet in the iron cage was also reduced to ashes in the fire.

Shi and his son stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at it, feeling emotional.

A trace of worry appeared on Shi Wei's face. "I wonder how many places like this there are, poisoning the people."

Shi Sheng clenched his fists and said, "Yes, even if the remnants of Wuji Sect were cut into pieces, their sins could not be redeemed."

At the same time, Yunchuan in Yuncheng also made a major discovery.

After many days of investigation, he finally found the Wujimen's pharmaceutical base and killed all the Wujimen disciples inside.

Before burning it, Yunchuan also took some potion samples back home so that he could make an antidote for the Bleeding Puppet.

Dozens of blood puppets died in the raging fire.

The mission was accomplished, and the next day Yunchuan prepared to leave Yunchuan. Before leaving, he went to Zhenyi Zhai to pick up the ring customized by Fanhua, and then rode as fast as he could to Kyoto.
