Chapter 346 Two Blood Letters
The letter mainly talks about two things.
The first thing is that the family of Deputy General Zhou Bi Da has been imprisoned by the cult in the Shenwu Hall of Lei Ling City. If they cannot be rescued today, their innocence will be in jeopardy and their life and death are in danger.
The second thing is that Ya Jiangxin, the master of the Nanyan Pass Attendant Hall, is the elder who is in charge of all matters in the cult prefecture.
Every incident is like a bolt from the blue, triggering an unpredictable storm.
On his way back to the city, Tai Shi Bai had already heard about what happened in Nanyan Pass in the morning. How could he have imagined that there were so many hidden stories behind it?
Inside the car, Long said, "What do you think?"
"Maybe it's a trap, but human lives are at stake. We'd rather believe it exists than not." Tai Shi Bai said.
Long said: "Which one do you think is more important?"
"Both are important! Saving people is urgent, and Jiang Xin must be controlled immediately. It won't be too late to apologize to him after we find out the truth. If something happens to him in that position, the consequences will be unimaginable." Tai Shi Bai said.
There was silence in the car for a long time.
Taishi Bai frowned, knowing that this meant his mother was not satisfied with his answer: "What do you think is wrong?"
Long said: "Jiang Xin is first of all a member of the Jiang family, and secondly a member of the Attendant Palace. What qualifications do you have to control him? You are even less qualified to investigate him!"
Tai Shi Bai did not rush to argue. He thought for a moment and understood what was going on. He suddenly said, "Mother means that saving people is more important."
Long said, "Zhou Bi Da, he started to serve as a personal soldier beside your father when he was only 25 years old. He has fought in hundreds of battles, both large and small, and only became a deputy general when he was over 100 years old. He has a very high prestige in the army."
Taishi Bai said coldly, "But Luantai and Shicongdian bypassed us and broke into the residence of a deputy general without even saying hello, right in our territory at Nanyan Pass, and killed him! Regardless of whether they have hard evidence or not, doing this shows that they don't take the Taishi family seriously at all, which is equivalent to slapping my father in the face."
"Now, someone has reported Jiang Xin as a cult elder. This is a good opportunity to save face."
"I will contact the Jiang family and Yao Shaoqing who is still in Nanyan Pass, and we will investigate together. If we really find something, we will see how Luantai will explain it."
Normally, it is impossible to make a big fuss and investigate a chief yamen just because of an inexplicable letter.
But today is different, the General’s Mansion suffered a great loss.
The car fell into silence again.
"Mother wants me to go to Leiling City to rescue people?"
Tai Shi Bai thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Saving people is even more urgent. We can easily dispatch a group of people from the General's Office at Nanyan Pass to investigate."
Long said, "With your skills and experience, can you defeat Yao Qian? I'm afraid you are no match for that old fellow Jiang Xin? Let Deputy General Qiu and Tai Shizhang investigate Jiang Xin's case."
"You must immediately, right now, gather a group of military experts and rush to Leiling City to rescue the people. You must rescue them intact and take them back to Nanyan Pass to settle them down."
"We must let the old men in the army see the attitude of the Taishi family."
"If this matter fails and the messenger spreads it, you will never be able to gain a foothold in the army again. Who else will sincerely work for your Taishi family?"
"I see, mother is more thoughtful. I'll go right away!"
Taishi Bai finally understood why his mother thought saving lives was more important! Saving lives was more important to him and the Taishi family.
First of all, the biggest concern for people in the military is their family.
If they couldn't even protect the family of a deputy general, how would the soldiers below view the Taishi family? Secondly, since the cult used such extreme means as detaining the family of a deputy general, it just showed that Zhou Bida might not have surrendered yet. As long as Luantai couldn't produce actual evidence, the general's mansion could take the case to Lingxiao City.
“Da da!”
Taishi Bai rode on a strange beast and rushed towards the city gate at lightning speed.
Inside the car, Long's voice rang out: "He used the Taishi family to seek his own interests. Investigate! Dig three feet underground to find out who sent the letter."
…
The "List of Hidden People" not only records the information of all the hidden people in this sixty-year period, but also some of the strongholds and industries of the hidden sects.
Many of these industries were left behind by hermits since ancient times and are spread all over Lingxiao's habitat.
There are three industries in the third level city area of Nanyan Pass.
Since the letter was sent, the third level city area has begun strict inspections. Soldiers can be seen on every street, and the formations in many places have been opened.
No matter how powerful Li Weiyi's disguise technique was, he didn't dare to wander around the streets. He kept moving around and dodging.
After inspecting the three properties one by one, they finally chose the relatively deserted Lao Zhou Coffin Shop as a temporary hiding place.
As the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens.
There were sporadic snowflakes falling from the sky.
Old man Zhou, limping, leaning on a walking stick, with red and swollen eyes, returned to the coffin shop in grief and anger. He peeled off the wooden door panels one by one, and then sat dejectedly at the door.
The whole person was motionless, and grief filled his heart.
It was not until it was completely dark that he regained some strength and lit a bone lamp.
Suddenly.
With the help of the light, Old Man Zhou saw that a young man in blue was sitting in the store. The young man was flipping through something, and strangely, there was no aura fluctuation on his body.
Old man Zhou has been living with the dead for many years and thinks he is not afraid of anything in the world, but at this moment he felt a chill in his back.
His temperament suddenly changed, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.
He used his magical energy to seize the knife hidden behind the door into his hand.
Pointing his knife at the young man sitting inside, he said, "Tell me, which sect are you from?"
Li Weiyi was studying the account book found in Xu Xiangu's bag and discovered that the Dao Sect had three other bases and more than ten industries in Nanyanguan, with a wide range of business.
In addition, two strongholds and a large number of industries in Lingxiao City were also recorded.
A force of tens of millions must have a layout all over the world, with well-developed roots that penetrate into every corner.
After closing the account book, Li Weiyi looked at Old Man Zhou.
Old man Zhou had messy gray hair, gray clothes, a long scar on his neck, a disabled left foot, and a sense of decline and decay.
However, after he raised the knife in his hand, a murderous aura of war and swords filled the entire coffin shop in an instant.
Li Weiyi asked, "Senior, you are from a military background, right?"
Old man Zhou limped forward, his eyes fierce and filled with hatred: "People from the Attendant Palace? Haha, you have quite the skills..."
“Swish!”
The sword chopped down, and the blade light was like a bright crescent.
It is the cultivation level of the third realm of the Five Seas Realm!
“Bang!”
Li Weiyi sat on a chair, using his body-protecting Qi to block the blow with his forehead. His body was as indestructible as a diamond, and could not be cut by the knife.
After shocking Old Man Zhou out, he took out the hidden god token of Jiuli.
Seeing the special mark of the Hidden Sect on the token, the knife in Old Man Zhou's hand dropped to the ground with a clang. He knelt on one knee, tears streaming down his face, "Meet the Hidden God! The Hidden Sect of Jiuli... We must avenge the deputy general... He died tragically. I want to collect his body, but I can't even get close to the deputy general's mansion."
Li Weiyi helped him up and asked, "What is your relationship with the deputy general?"
Old Man Zhou said, "I was raised by the deputy general and followed him for decades. Nine years ago, I became lame on the battlefield and was assigned to come here to open a coffin shop and be responsible for delivering messages."
"You are taking too much risk! Going to Zhou's residence at this time will easily lead to suspicion and tracking."
Li Weiyi looked outside the door.
In the light, the night deepened and the snow fell heavier.
The cold wind kept blowing in.
Old man Zhou shook his head and said, "Today, there are countless soldiers going to the deputy general's mansion, some are on duty, and some are disabled and retired. The deputy general has been in the army for 80 years. How many people have followed him? How many lives has he saved? He often helps us disabled and retired soldiers. If the attendant palace is suspicious and wants to investigate, half of Nanyan Pass will probably be paralyzed."
Li Weiyi was slightly relieved: "I am also deeply saddened by the death of Deputy General Zhou, and I will definitely avenge him. But right now, I have an extremely important matter here, and I must send something out immediately. Do you have any solution?"
Old Man Zhou pushed the door panels back one by one and whispered, "Hidden Man, you are the person that Luantai, Attendant Hall, and General's Mansion are looking for today, right?"
Li Weiyi nodded.
Old Man Zhou said, "The whole city is under martial law now, and the city gates are closed. Any living creature leaving the city will be sensed, so hiding in the boundary bag is useless. But if you just want to send one thing, I still have a way."
Li Weiyi said, "Are you serious? My things are related to whether I can avenge Deputy General Zhou. There must be no mistakes."
Old man Zhou patted his chest and assured: "I have been in Nanyan Pass for a lifetime, and I know everyone in the army. The deputy general asked me to be responsible for delivering the message, so I am naturally capable of delivering the message in any extraordinary period."
Li Weiyi was running out of time and had no choice but to trust Zhou Bi Da's arrangements before his death.
Jiang Xin's blood letter alone was not enough, he had to write one himself.
“Sizzle!”
He tore off a piece of his robe, cut his wrists, and sprinkled the blood on it first.
Then he bit his finger and wrote:
"It is extremely urgent. Palace Master An needs to write this in person."
"I can't leave Nanyan Pass anymore. I'm being hunted down by Luantai, the Palace of Attendants, and the General's Office. There are also thieves inside who want to kill me. I can't come back!"
"I followed my master's order and carried the treasure out of the main temple, but I was chased by the people of the Divine Cult all the way. I went through many dangers and was seriously injured before I arrived at Nanyan Pass. I never thought that Nanyan Pass seemed to have known that the Divine Cult was going to attack Lingxiao City and had already begun recruiting troops on a large scale."
"I know there's a traitor in the church. Going into the city is a life-threatening situation, but I have a mission to accomplish, so I have to go."
…
"I am the only one without a father or mother, brothers or sisters, so I have nothing to worry about and no regrets. The only thing I am worried about is the four little guys. I hope the Palace Master can teach them well and not let them go astray."
"In my heart, as long as Palace Master An is still here, the Dao Cult is not a cult. I can serve you till death, and I have no regrets. That's all. Tell Master that I am grateful for her protection over the past year. I have spent the most carefree year in Nanqing Palace. I will repay her for all her kindness in the next life!"
There's no need to exaggerate, just say what you really think.
After finishing writing, Li Weiyi wrapped up the two copies of the blood book and sealed them using the special runes of Linggu Temple.
