Chapter 52: Qianlixiang The arrest begins. The Imperial Guards rushed into Hongxiuzhao and arrested and interrogated all the prostitutes and their customers. At this time, the role of the painted boat became apparent. There was water all around, and the Jinyiwei had already surrounded it. No matter how skilled in light work or how to dive, the people under the Red Sleeves would be exposed if they tried to escape. Qi Shizhou quickly found out the whole story from the two remaining famous prostitutes. A month ago, General Deng Yu replaced Fei Ju as the commander-in-chief of an army of 100,000, which made Zawalmi realize that something was wrong. Deng Yu was conferred the title of Duke of Weiguo, and his weight was much stronger than that of Fei Ju, Marquis of Pingliang. Replacing him with a duke before the battle showed that Zhu Yuanzhang was determined to pacify Yunnan and Guizhou in the south! If the Ming Dynasty launches a large-scale expedition to the south, Yunnan will probably be unable to resist. Therefore, Bazawalmi asked for help from the Northern Yuan Dynasty while contacting the rebel forces in Yunnan. The White Lotus Sect, the Five Poison Sect, and the Duan family of Dali joined forces and sent assassins skilled in assassination to Beijing. The White Lotus Sect's secret hall "Hongxiu Zhao" acted as the middleman to bring about the current situation. The three candidates are Long Sang'a, one of the seven elders of the Five Poisons Sect, Shadow Gu Master, Duan Yi, a direct descendant of the Dali Duan family, and "Liu Shanyun", a walking corpse from the White Lotus Sect. Liu Shanyun’s identity is not simple.
He is the grandson of Liu Futong, the general of Han Song, who was once the protector of the White Lotus Sect, and the son of the current "Vajra Master" Liu Mingrui. He died of unknown reasons several years ago and became the walking corpse of Ming Benren, the left protector of the Five Poison Sect, who was called "Yin Mo". Among the three, Shadow Gu Master Long Sanga is the strongest, in the early stage of the fourth realm, but it was a feint attack. Both he and Duan Yi were creating opportunities for the zombies to assassinate and attract attention. The real killing move was the mysterious bone magic weapon [Demon-Repelling Pearl]. Once this bead is emitted, the Buddha's light will be dazzling and brilliant, which can make the enemy dizzy and terrified to death! The most important thing is that it can ignore any armor below the Heavenly Rank, and anyone who stands in its way will be killed instantly! however. The three parties had made all kinds of calculations, but they didn't expect that Zhu Biao was secretly protected by two commanders of the Imperial Guards, who noticed the unusual movement at the first moment and launched a counterattack. The Imperial Guards are all "madmen" who practice evil skills and are fueled by evil spirits and the blood of gluttons. Although he appears to be submissive on the surface, he is actually extremely cruel and bloodthirsty. Their lifespans will be affected, but in return they will gain the most terrifying lethality in the same realm. Most of these people were low-level eunuchs in the Yuan court. It was Zhu Yuanzhang who gave them opportunities and resources. Because of this, each of them was as loyal as a death warrior. The two shadow guard leaders took action, and Long Sang'a and Duan Yi died on the spot. If Ming Benren had not been worried about something going wrong and took out his best [Meng Ji Pao] to give to the zombies, the zombies would have never been able to escape from the Examination Hall. "That's the way it is." Qi Shizhou sorted out the intelligence and reported to Jiang Huan: "You all know what happened afterwards. This time, it was all thanks to Captain Zhao. If he hadn't acted decisively, the zombie might have escaped. Now it seems that they included His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi in this plan, just in case he could escape into the room and avoid being hunted down. The plan was indeed thorough." "Unfortunately, there is always a loophole." Jiang Huan sneered and waved his hand: "Take these people to the imperial prison and interrogate them strictly! Make sure to find all the secret halls in the capital and eliminate them one by one!" "Yes." Qi Shizhou left quickly. Jiang Huan looked to the side and saw Zhao Wumian leaning against the pillar, studying the animal skin Mengji robe. "How is it going? Have you figured out any secrets?" "No." Zhao Wumian shook his head: "The information in the Zhenfusi case calf library is all-encompassing, except for the information related to weapon refining, not to mention the most core method of refining the Xuangu magic weapon... I looked at it for a long time, but it's just like an ordinary robe, I can't see anything."
"It's ok." Jiang Huan said: "I'll take my time to look at it later." "I'm afraid there's no chance." Zhao Wumian threw the robe to him and said with a smile: "He is a passing god of wealth, so I'd better confiscate it." Jiang Huan took it and replied, "You saved the King of Qi and caught the assassin. Maybe the emperor will give it to you as a reward. It's already known that you are favored. Now that you are working hard, nothing is impossible." Zhao Wumian shook his head: "If you really want to reward me, I'd rather reward you with spiritual plants. This is what I want most right now." "why?" Jiang Huan was puzzled: "You also know how to make pills?" Zhao Wumian said mysteriously, "Because it can add lives." Jiang Huan looked at him strangely, "...Forget it, just tell me what you want. So much time has passed, the emperor and the others should have known about it, and we should also report back..." "My Lords." Before Jiang Huan finished speaking, a large inner guard came running over and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you." Jiang Huan's expression straightened up: "Where is His Highness?" The shadow guard replied: "Wu Lou." "Okay, let's go over there." Jiang Huan nodded and said to Zhao Wumian, "The inner palace is still well-informed. Let's go." The two followed the shadow guard into the palace and went to the martial arts building. The so-called Wu Tower is located on the east side of the square in front of the Fengtian Hall, opposite the Wen Tower. It has two floors, nine bays in the double-story building and three bays deep. Geomancy maps of provinces across the country are placed inside. It is the place where the emperor, the prince and the generals discuss wars. Before I even entered, I saw two figures kneeling in front of the Fengtian Hall. One was Prince of Qi Zhu Yu, and the other was the attendant eunuch Fu Yining. At this moment, Zhu Gui lost all his arrogance, his face turned pale, and he knelt respectfully on the ground, not daring to raise his head; Fu Yining was shaking like a sieve, with cold sweat on his forehead, and he was terrified. Zhao Wumian knew at a glance that these two people had been scolded by Lao Zhu, and the scolding was severe. Zhao Wumian and Jiang Huan pretended not to see anything and followed the shadow guard into the martial arts building. A huge map came into view. The above map shows the mountains and rivers of Yunnan. At this time, the map was spread out on the ground, and Zhu Biao was standing on the edge, holding a bamboo stick and looking at the map. Zhao Wumian and Jiang Huan bowed at the same time: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." "No need to be polite." Zhu Biao raised his head, smiled, and said to Zhao Wumian: "Seventh brother is naughty. This time, it is thanks to Captain Zhao's timely intervention, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Come, bring the [Qianlixiang] here."
"Yes." A eunuch had been waiting on the side. He walked over carefully holding a pot of green plants half a person's height and placed it at Zhao Wumian's feet. The green plant is a small tree that looks very much like the money tree. Its leaves are oblong and have a very pleasant fragrance that is strong but not turbid, refreshing to the heart. It seems that just smelling it can sweep away all fatigue and refresh the mind. Zhu Biao said: "I know that Captain Zhao likes spiritual plants, so I will give this [Qianlixiang] to you." He personally picked out the "Original Classic of the Five Organs" for Zhao Wumian, and he knew exactly what the "Food Qi to Nourish the Organs Method" required. [Qianlixiang] is a top-grade spiritual material of the Xuan level. Its branches are full of vitality and are the main material for making [Baoyuan Dan]. It can strengthen the foundation and enhance the power. The fragrance emitted by the leaves can also calm the mind and prevent going astray. The whole tree has magical uses and is a rare treasure. Of course Zhao Wumian really wanted it, but he had to refuse on the surface. Zhu Biao said, "This is related to the safety of my seventh brother, Captain Zhao, there is no need to do this. If you had not recently been reinstated, you would have been more conspicuous than just a [Qianlixiang]. We will talk about this later... Governor Jiang, you are clear about the assassin's origins, right?" "Yes." Jiang Huan clasped his fists and told the known situation again: "Now that Hong Xiuzhao and his gang have been arrested, I will conduct a thorough investigation and find out all the White Lotus followers in the capital!" "So good." Zhu Biao nodded: "I will leave the matter of the assassin to you. This matter can also be regarded as an opportunity. After today, I believe that the government and the people will be united to pacify the southwest! Now that the war is about to start, you two should also come and see how to deploy this battle." "..." Zhao Wumian and Jiang Huan looked at each other, both a little surprised. This kind of thing shouldn't be discussed with the Jinyiwei. (End of this chapter)
