Under the moonlight, Kong Hui's green shirt swayed in the night wind.
His eyes were dimly red, and there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking everyone.
Li Yan Unexpectedly, this monster appeared in front of them so openly.
"How dare you!"
Li Yan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he held the Gou ultimatum.
The reason why he has become a thorn in Jianmu's side is largely because of the identity of "Living Underworld Messenger". No matter how clever these old monsters are, they are rampant in the human world, and they will only die if they encounter the underworld soldiers.
But holding the gou ultimatum, Li Yan frowned slightly.
His ultimatum had no effect.
The other party should be pregnant with National Sacrifice Divine Artifact and needs to get closer...
Thinking of this, Li Yan exerted force under his feet and instantly jumped seven or eight meters away.
His ultimatum is inlaid with a jade pendant, which makes his sensitivity stronger.
But at the same time, Kong Hui also flew out, faster than him.
Li Yan immediately stopped and made a gesture with his hands behind his back.
Boom!
Sha LiFei said nothing, raised his gun and attacked.
This is their team's secret code, which means fire support.
The gunshot roared, and the lead bullet tore through the air, shooting directly into Kong Hui's chest.
But after the smoke cleared, everyone's pupils suddenly shrank.
In the distance, a large hole was opened in the roof of the inn, and bricks and tiles were scattered everywhere.
At this distance, the musket should have hit 100 times, but before the gunfire fell, Kong Hui's soap robe suddenly shook like water waves - the lead wrapped in gunpowder penetrated directly through the body and shattered the roof behind it, while the other party's clothes were only blown by the wind.
"How is that possible?"
Sha LiFei swallowed, his face full of disbelief.
After the appearance of New Style Firearm, there was no disadvantage, and the situation in the world changed.
No matter how skilled you are, if you are surrounded by dozens of muskets, you still have to avoid the sharp edges for a while.
Some people lament that the emergence of firearms may represent the loneliness of the world.
Commandery Commandant Office even set up a musketry team to practice formations and use them to deal with the Grandmaster.
This was the first time I saw someone ignore a musket.
"What a coward!"
Sha LiFei doesn't believe in evil, so he cursed and wanted to change his ammunition.
"Don't waste ammo."
Wang Dao Xuan stopped in a deep voice.
He has Eye Mystical Power, and his eyesight is much better after all. He just caught the seven afterimages in an instant, and said with some uncertainty, "This seems to be some kind of movement technique. It shifts seven times in an instant, making it difficult for ordinary people to see clearly."
Only then did everyone remember the origin of Kong Hui.
The opponent was one of the ten Grandmasterss of the Northern Song Dynasty. Martial Arts was already at the top of his game, and he was also an imperial master.
"It's 'Yinwen Eight-legged Essay'!"
Kong Shangzhao also followed Luo MingZi back to the inn, hiding behind and screaming in surprise.
Li Yan really wants to ask, what is "Yinwen Eight-legged Essay", but now is obviously not the time.
On the street in the distance, the sound of dense footsteps sounded like muffled thunder.
But it was the army sergeants stationed near the inn who heard the news and came over, their torches connected into a winding fire dragon in the night.
"Over there!"
A sharp-eyed soldier shouted loudly, pointing the torch in his hand at the erratic figure on the roof.
In the capital city, gunshots rang out suddenly, and the soldiers immediately entered combat mode.
They ignored the order to capture alive and raised their muskets to take aim.
Bang bang bang!
A series of deafening gunshots pierced the night sky, and lead bullets poured out like raindrops.
Roof tiles exploded in the hail of bullets, sending debris flying.
Kong Hui looks like a ghost, moving around in the rain of bullets.
Seeing reinforcements of soldiers coming from all directions, he snorted coldly, turned around and ran away.
Li Yan's eyes flashed coldly, and he put all his strength on his feet to chase after him.
However, when the folding fan in Kong Hui's hand opens and closes, a strange rhythm occurs.
Gangsha Energy set off a strong wind, and every time it blew, his figure became more and more erratic, as if he merged with the night.
With two whooshes, the cyan figure disappeared at the end of the street, leaving only Li Yan standing there with clenched fists.
"Mom!" Li Yan spat hard.
This was the first time that he was completely suppressed physically.
Even Sword Immortal Cheng, who is famous for his light kung fu, probably doesn't have such speed.
At this time, a large group of soldiers and horses had surrounded the street.
When the leading officer saw Luo MingZi's waistband, he immediately knelt down on one knee:
"Your humble post is the commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses Division, Yuan Cheng. See you, sir."
Luo MingZi looked solemn and raised his hand to signal. "Commander Yuan, please get up. It's just in time to capture these traitors immediately. At the same time, send troops to follow me to encircle Iron Anchor Society's lair."
"This" Yuan Cheng looked troubled, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, "Iron Anchor Society has a lot of involvement behind it, I'm afraid I'm afraid."
"I hold the imperial token, and this case will be approved by the Holy One!" Luo MingZi shouted sternly, "Whoever dares to stop it will be punished for treason!"
"As you command!"
Yuan Cheng didn't dare to hesitate anymore, turned around and ordered loudly, "Everyone listen to the order! Follow me!"
The seriously injured Iron Anchor Society gang members were tied up and dragged away.
Li Yan looked at the direction in which Kong Hui disappeared, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. "Let's go and meet these bastards together!"
I finally got a clue, so I couldn't neglect it.
As Luo MingZi ordered one after another, Commandery Commandant Office's elite and Enforcement Hall's masters came one after another.
East City The Soldiers and Horses Department also received the urgent report and surrounded Iron Anchor Society Branch Hall in advance.
The torches illuminated the night sky brightly, and the war horses snorted restlessly.
In the warehouse, everyone's faces were pale, and no one dared to take a step forward.
Although their warehouse has been transformed into a fortress, it can only protect against people from the world.
Officers and soldiers were dispatched with a large number of firearms. Resistance was obviously a dead end.
Finally, the man with gold teeth came out tremblingly, with a flattering smile on his face, "My lords, I wonder what kind of royal law you have committed."
"Bullshit! Do you still recognize me, grandpa?"
Zhang Tiankui leaned on a long knife and limped out of the crowd, smiling particularly ferociously.
"The sky is falling - you are copying people side by side, and you are bright and you are red! Yama is placed in front of the palace. Branch Hall is a brother's life-or-death pledge!"
The man with gold teeth suddenly changed his expression and shouted to escape.
Zhang Tiankui robbed someone and escaped, and all the gang masters went after him. Kong Hui didn't bother to remind him.
So he didn't know what had happened until now.
These slang words are a sign that there is no turning around and the situation is dead.
Unfortunately, as soon as he took two steps, the Commandery Commandant Office master threw the chain out, wrapped it around his neck, dragged him into the formation like a dead dog, and was tied up.
Wow!
At the same time, all the doors and windows on the top of the warehouse were smashed open, and dozens of black gun barrels poked out.
In an instant, gunfire was like thunder and smoke filled the air.
"Iron Anchor Society" This Branch Hall has long been reduced to a den of thieves. Even if they don't know what King Snake is doing secretly, they usually pretend to be bandits to rob and kidnap children. Seeing the impending disaster, the gang members are fighting against the trapped beasts.
However, the ordinary firearms in their hands were vulnerable to more than twenty Commandery Commandant Office and Divine Firearm.
After a volley of fire, a hole as big as a washbasin was punched out in the thick brick wall of the warehouse, and debris flew across the load-bearing wooden beams.
The whole building was crumbling, as if it would collapse at any time.
Some desperadoes tried to break out, but their legs were either broken by lead bullets, or they were dragged back by hooks and chains and tied into rice dumplings.
In less than half a stick of incense, this den of thieves that had been entrenched for many years was uprooted.
"Sir, we have found something!" the searching officer suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone rushed to follow the sound and saw a dozen boys Girl huddled in the cargo box. All of them looked ashen and had already suffocated to death.
"Beasts!" Luo MingZi yelled with his eyes about to burst, "Take them all back to the prison, and we must investigate them tonight to find out the truth! In addition, Iron Anchor Society Luo Gongsheng should be summoned to see me immediately!"
Order after order was issued like thunder, destined to be another sleepless night.
But Li Yan and others could not hide their disappointment.
Except for these abducted children, no trace of the Jianmu Organization has been found...
"Rouyuan Posthouse" In the backyard hall, candlelight flickered, reflecting the solemn faces of everyone.
Kong Shangzhao stroked the tea cup on the table and said in a deep voice, "As you all know, the most important thing in my Confucianism sect is to cultivate Haoran's righteousness. Whether practicing martial arts, cultivating one's moral character, or performing sacrificial rituals, all are based on a righteous mind. Although Kong Hui was born in Confucius, he has fallen into evil ways."
He rubbed his brows and continued, "This man was once one of the ten great masters of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was even more honored as the emperor's master. It is recorded in the classics of the Confucius family in Qufu that he later sneaked into the ancestral temple and burned many classics, leaving only a few fragmentary pages recording his evil methods."
"He reversed Zhu Zi's way of 'preserving natural principles and destroying human desires' and created the evil technique of 'implanting human desires and destroying natural principles'. Based on the eight sufferings of life, he twisted the Confucianism righteous way into an evil way. This is 'Yinwen Eight-legged Essay'."
"The name of the one just now is Funeral Carriage Step. He stepped on the Nine Palace Steps in the funeral position and used the three transformations of 'opening the funeral, attracting the soul, and burying' to confuse the opponent. He was famous for his superb body skills in the past."
Li Yan frowned. "Does he have any weaknesses?"
Kong Shangzhao shook his head. "I don't know the weakness. However, since he uses evil thoughts to stimulate martial arts, maybe the Confucian sect's righteousness can be broken."
Wang Dao Xuan looked solemn, "This monster is difficult to deal with. Is it him who Old Wu said was the master who attacked Living Underworld Messenger?"
"It's hard to say."
Li Yan frowned slightly, "Living Underworld Messenger were robbed after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Kong Hui had been active in Cangzhou, plotting against Yanzhou Cauldron. The time does not match up, but it cannot be ruled out."
"One more thing." Kong Shangzhao suddenly lowered his voice, "Kong Hui is not only proficient in Confucianism, but also good at Feng Shui construction. In the past, many temples in various places asked him to preside over the construction."
Everyone naturally knows about this matter.
The main hall of Mangshan Shangqing Palace was tampered with by this person.
While he was talking, at this moment, Long Yan'er came over wiping his hands, "The young man is already awake."
Everyone got up quickly and came to Wing Room next door.
Inside Wing Room, "Son of a Bitch" has been bandaged and applied with herbal medicine.
Long Yan'er's medical skills far exceed those of Wang Dao Xuan, and now he has become Twelve Yuan Chen's doctor.
"Son of a Bitch" are all traumatic injuries, so naturally they can't trouble her.
Looking at Li Yan's face, "Son of a Bitch" breathed a sigh of relief and started to cry again, "They killed Lao Wai's mouth. I looked for you everywhere in the city, but couldn't find you. I went to look for Old Wu, but as soon as I got there, I was arrested by Iron Anchor Society's people."
"They beat me and want to know Old Wu clues."
Listening to what he said, Li Yan also understood the cause and effect. He sighed slightly and said, "I didn't think about this matter well. I didn't expect that they still have so many informants in the city. Don't worry, Lao Wai said I will make people live happily and bury them. After this matter is settled, I will find a job for you."
A dead person cannot be resurrected, and this is all he can do.
"Son of a Bitch" nodded, mentally exhausted and seriously injured, he fell asleep again...
After a busy night, at noon the next day, Luo MingZi came to Rouyuan Posthouse again.
"All the confessions were asked."
He handed a few pages of paper to Li Yan and said in a deep voice, "Those gangsters are all fools who work for the tiger. They only know that King Snake gave a lot of money, and they know very little about Jianmu..."
"The thug with gold teeth is a member of 'Iron Anchor Society' who specializes in dirty work. According to his confession, under the instructions of King Snake, he often secretly abducted and trafficked the boy Girl. We checked in the wrong direction before, and our eyes were all on West Traveling Beggar Gang..."
"The boss of 'Iron Anchor Society' came to see me. They don't know about King Snake. They are sending people across the city to search for him."
Li Yan said coldly, "Can this matter be easily ignored with just one oversight?"
Luo MingZi hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "This is the only thing I can do."
"Luo Gongsheng of 'Iron Anchor Society' is a member of Prince Yan Xiao Jinglie. He is also a disciple of Divine Fist Society Huo Yin. Even if you report this matter to the emperor, it will not necessarily make the whole 'Iron Anchor Society' pay the price, but will incur enemies."
As he spoke, he sighed, "This is the capital, and there are constraints everywhere. Let's get down to business and don't touch those people."
As soon as these words came out, Li Yan understood instantly.
Because the emperor had not appointed a heir for many years, the princes also fought fiercely among themselves.
This year, due to health reasons, I finally had a crown prince.
But the prince was said to be cowardly and pedantic, and was not liked by the emperor.
Therefore, the battle for the throne may not be finalized yet.
They don't mess with Imperial Court, so there is no need to provoke such things.
After explaining something, Luo MingZi left in a hurry.
The matter of Prince Ying's Estate is not over yet, now "Iron Anchor Society" has also caused this situation.
Although the harvest is not small, it must be said that since Li Yan entered Beijing, Luo MingZi has been so busy that he has not had a sound sleep for several days and nights.
After he left, everyone looked at each other in silence.
"That's all."
Sha LiFei shook his head and said, "This capital city is really troublesome. You can't do anything. You have to worry about this and that when investigating a case. Anyway, the court has sent experts. How about we just leave it alone and let them worry about themselves."
"You put it lightly."
The taciturn Lu San suddenly spoke, "We can't avoid this. Do you know why Kong Hui showed up last night? I figured out the reason."
"The Jianmu Demon Man we encountered, whether Lu Sheng or Ghost Emperor of Beimang, all have <Earth Official's Treasure Edict of Atonement>."
"I suspect that he planned to lure Yan XiaoGe away last night, and then use <Earth Official's Treasure Edict of Atonement> to drive away the underworld soldiers. With his skill, Yan XiaoGe will be in danger, and Zhao Qingxu may be hiding nearby."
"Once Yan XiaoGe leaves, who can stop this monster?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.
If it is true as Lu San guessed, then someone among them might have died last night.
Li Yan put the information on the table and said solemnly, "Three is right, you must strike first to gain strength."
"I'll go out first. You guys stay in the post house and don't run around."
After that, he got up and walked out.
Today is another sunny day, and the midday sun is even a bit dazzling.
Li Yan took out a waistband from his pocket and inspected it carefully.
This is the token given by "Golden Swallow Gate".
Perhaps this powerful intelligence organization can help him find the whereabouts of Kong Hui and Zhao Qingxu...
