And none of the princes who participated in the looting of Haojing left with the tripod on their backs.

So... these Nine Cauldrons are in the bandits' tomb?

Ying Wuji looked carefully and found that the Nine Cauldrons were not all in the Zhou Palace, but were distributed throughout the royal capital, vaguely like they were in a formation.

He was not particularly proficient in formation formations, but he had learned an introductory formation from Tie Niu, so now he had a feeling that these Nine Cauldrons seemed to be guarding something.

"Except for the Nine Cauldrons, there doesn't seem to be anything special about this map."

"It's better to look at the blueprint."

really.

After looking at the drawings, Ying Wuji discovered where the real clue lay.

There are many famous buildings in the royal capital, but most of the blueprints are no different from ordinary buildings. However, there are a few that are particularly complex, with formations spread throughout the foundations.

For example, the Nine Cauldrons. Under the base of each cauldron is a densely packed formation, and the extended formation covers the entire Zhou royal territory.

In addition to the Nine Cauldrons, there are several particularly important places.

They are the Qingshi Office, Taishi Office, Empty Palace and Muye Stele.

Ying Wuji is quite familiar with these places.

The Qingshi Liao and Taishi Liao were the two largest government offices in the Zhou royal court. The former included Situ Sima Sikong, who were responsible for the land and military engineering of the whole country, and Sikou, who was in charge of the criminal justice system. The latter was responsible for enthroning, salary setting, sacrifices, seasons, maps and books, etc. It can be said that it was an official position as well as a divine position.

The Kongdian was used to enshrine people who had made great contributions to the world. It was not named when it was built, so it was temporarily named Kongdian. Later, after the reign of King Cheng and King Kang, in order to commemorate the great achievements of King Cheng and King Kang of Zhou, later generations changed Kongdian to Chengkangdian.

There is also the Muye Stele, which was recorded when King Wu summoned all the princes to take the oath of allegiance at Muye during the war between Shang and Zhou. The names of all the princes in the coalition were engraved on it. Later, King Wu divided 71 states, 53 of which were surnamed Ji. Many of the states with different surnames were on the stele.

"If there really is a magical object that can control blood, it must be in these few key protected places."

"Since the bloodline of the world is under control, Muyebei and Taishi Liao are the most suspicious."

"This is equivalent to an open-book exam, but I just don't know what's going on in the thieves' graveyard."

Ying Wuji rubbed his chin and felt that it would be better to discuss this matter with someone.

After thinking about it, it seems that my father-in-law is a master of formations, so it would be best to ask him.

At least in this matter, the interests of both parties are completely consistent.

He put the parchment in his pocket, called Zhao Xin, and drove directly to the Feiqi Palace.

…

A quarter of an hour later, at the gate of Feiqi Palace.

Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Ying Wuji wants to see His Majesty. Please inform him, eunuch."

"No need to inform, just follow me!"

The eunuch on duty today was very enthusiastic and kept looking at Ying Wuji.

This prince consort has been in the limelight in Jiangcheng recently. First, His Majesty came out of seclusion and madly attacked the Wei and Han families for him.

It was a grand gathering of hundreds of families, and the prince consort overshadowed all the others with his own efforts.

It was rumored that the Prince Consort was a cunning and sharp-tongued person, but unexpectedly he was quite friendly to his servants.

Bringing Ying Wuji all the way to the main hall of Chongli Palace.

When he took a look inside, he found that in addition to Zhao Ji, there was also Nangong Ling sitting there, and next to Nangong Ling sat a young man with an extraordinary demeanor.

"Your Majesty, the Prince Consort requests an audience!"

"Just come in!"

"Please, my Lord!"

The eunuch on duty made a gesture of invitation.

Ying Wuji smiled faintly, then walked directly into the hall and bowed properly.

"Greetings, Father. Greetings, Master Nangong!"

"No need to be so polite, Wuji, come! Stand next to me!"

"yes!"

Zhao Ji looked at his son-in-law with satisfaction. After Ying Wuji stood behind him, he smiled and looked at Nangong Ling: "Brother Nangong, you came at the right time today. When the event ended yesterday, you left without saying a few words. You came at the right time today. You have to praise my son-in-law!"

Before he finished speaking, two pairs of eyes fell on Ying Wuji.

The two gazes were so aggressive that he couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

One came from Nangong Ling, the other came from the young man next to him. The former was gloomy, and the latter was arrogant.

Nangong Ling stroked his beard and laughed dryly, "Your son-in-law is outstanding. He is indeed a remarkable scholar."

He emphasized the word "literati", making the whole sentence seem a bit sarcastic. These military strategists and warriors looked down upon literati the most.

It is true that there are hundreds of schools of thought in this world.

But the cultivation system is like this, in terms of the number of masters, there are still more troops.

He turned and looked at the young man: "Yu'er! This is the Young Master Wuji that your father mentioned to you. I have long told you not to underestimate the heroes of the world. In the future, Ying Wuji's achievements may not be inferior to yours!"

Nangong Yu nodded his chin slightly and bowed his hands symbolically: "Greetings, Master Wuji."

After saying that, he turned his eyes away indifferently, looking a little disappointed.

Ying Wuji curled his lips. This guy was quite arrogant.

But this guy has the capital to be crazy.

Although he is so young, the energy ball on his head has reached the first level and the second level, which makes him a genius at the same level as Tangtang.

It's this personality that really makes people dislike him.

Ying Wuji smiled and complimented enthusiastically: "I didn't expect that Master Nangong would have such an outstanding son. His skills are really admirable!"

Um?

Nangong Ling was a little surprised. It turned out that he thought Ying Wuji was quite disliked. Although he had some talents in his mind, he was extremely arrogant. What's more, he didn't even think highly of these talents.
