Chapter 1583 Personal Interception
The government offices would probably try the case first and then arrest the person, but they were not police officers. Any suspicious person who posed a threat to He Xiao's personal safety was within their scope of attack.
Besides, this person who is not sleeping in the middle of the night and still hanging around the villa must have bad intentions. There is nothing wrong with taking him down in one fell swoop!
"Brother Zhao is very generous." He Lingchuan knew that this was due to his good relationships with people. Otherwise, if Zhao Song really didn't want to do it, he would have a hundred reasons to shirk his responsibility.
At that moment, Zhao Song raised his arm and thirty or forty people immediately took their positions.
"I'm afraid this number of people is not enough." Cao Wendao's demon puppet should be clear.
Zhao Song was also very decisive. When he heard that it was not enough, he added more than 300 people at once.
While he was shaking people, He Lingchuan pulled Dong Rui aside and whispered, "You sneak in and ambush on the snail toad. If Cao Wendao escapes..."
The demon puppet master has many different tricks, so there is no guarantee that Cao Wendao does not have any backup plans.
Dong Rui rushed to say: "I will cut off his retreat!"
He Lingchuan took out the spider flute "Mrs. Zhu's Eye Socket" from his arms and stuffed it into his hand: "I'll give you another layer of insurance."
Dong Rui doesn't know much about music theory, but it shouldn't be difficult to play this thing.
"Okay." Dong Rui asked if he didn't understand. "What is insurance?"
"..."
Dong Rui rolled his eyes and made a request: "Can you lend me the Tianwang scale to play with?"
He Lingchuan took out a pipe from his arms and handed it to him: "Be careful, don't hurt yourself."
This was a treasure that the Nine Nether Emperor borrowed from the Weng brothers. He Lingchuan and Dong Rui had tried it several times. Others lit firecrackers, but they lit explosive pills.
Just then, Zhao Song came over to inform them that they had assembled. He Lingchuan gave the order directly, "Let's go."
The three hundred people surrounded He Lingchuan and left the village in a mighty procession.
He Lingchuan did not waste time and told Zhao Song on the way that these people were good at using demon puppets to kill people on orders, and the leader of the allied forces, Situ Yu, died in their hands.
Zhao Song had only heard of wooden puppets, golden armor and bronze guards, etc., but he was not very clear about what "demon puppets" were. He Lingchuan said: "It is to manipulate the deformed monsters for your own use, such as the tigers and porcupines that appeared in Xiaotao Villa. They look like monsters but not monsters. They are demon puppets."
"You mentioned taking orders earlier?" Zhao Song asked him, "Who paid for the murder?"
"The captives didn't say anything, so I'm afraid only their leader knows." He Lingchuan sighed, "But actually I can guess it pretty close."
Who would regard him as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh? He didn't say it, but Zhao Song understood it immediately, so he didn't dare to respond immediately.
Who else could it be except Qingyang Regent?
The only person who dared to openly oppose Qingyang Regent was He Xiao, apart from Prince Yao himself. This was tacitly understood by all the civil and military officials in the court.
"No matter what, let's get rid of this hidden danger first!" Zhao Song said angrily, "You dare to commit a crime in Tianshui City? You really don't take us seriously!"
"The demon puppet in this man's hand is quite powerful, Brother Zhao must not be careless."
Zhao Song laughed: "We have our own power, these evil demons have limited effect on us."
He was not bragging. The Yuan power of Yao Kingdom was second to none in the Shining Gold Plain, and it had a strong inhibitory effect on practitioners and magical powers.
As soon as the team left the south gate of the villa, they headed straight for Taoxi.
He Lingchuan understood that the capture of Cao Wendao had to be as quick as lightning, otherwise this guy was a loach and would slip away in a blink of an eye.
He captured several disciples of Cao Wendao one after another. Only Yang Chi had his brain worm picked out and survived. The other two died suddenly on the spot. Their deaths were particularly quick, just before they revealed the real secret.
At that time he suspected that Cao Wendao could monitor what they said.
Just now, lightning struck from the sky, and a blue light flashed in the corner of Yang Chi's eyes, twice in a row. This reminded He Lingchuan of a special little thing called "eye mites".
The eye mask can parasitize the eyeball of a living being and connect with the host in terms of vision and hearing. In other words, whatever the host hears and sees, he will be forced to share with it.
In the case of the missing messenger in Lingxu City, Xi Yunhe, who used the alias Mai Xuewen, secretly implanted eye mites in the old servant in order to find out the conversation between He Lingchuan and Zhong Sunmou.
The old servant himself was unaware, just like Yang Chi. Moreover, the eye mites were hidden deep in the flesh and blood, and could not be detected by magic. However, there was one characteristic: it would have a stress response when it encountered strong light or a sudden change in light, which was how the blue light in the corner of the host's eye came about.
This detail was recorded in Zhongsun Mou's file. When Bai Ziqi and He Lingchuan went to Lingxu City together, he also opened this part of the information to He Lingchuan for review.
Unexpectedly, this little knowledge suddenly came in handy today.
He Lingchuan used the insect puppet's closeness to the ancestral insect to search for Cao Wendao in Tianshui City. Obviously, his opponent had predicted this. Yang Chi and the other man were planted with eye mites and sent to another inn as bait for He Lingchuan.
Once He Lingchuan catches Yang Chi, he will definitely interrogate him strictly.
Cao Wendao learned about this conversation through eye mites and was able to reversely deduce a lot of useful information.
Apart from anything else, he can confirm that Wei Yishan is the demon puppet master!
Being able to use insect puppets to trace back to the source is a skill that only peers can possess. Not to mention Dong Rui's various performances during the interrogation, experts like Cao Wendao can tell at a glance that "Wei Yishan" is indeed accomplished in the field of demon puppets.
Once this is confirmed, how many associations can Cao Wendao make?
The tiger with a twisted tail and the porcupine, the demon puppet master, and the Nine Nether Emperor who appeared in Xiaotao Villa...
What's worse is that He Lingchuan is almost certain that there is a connection between Cao Wendao and Qingyang. If these assumptions or presumptions are passed on to Qingyang, He Lingchuan will be in trouble.
Therefore, his top priority at the moment is to capture or kill Cao Wenda and quickly eliminate this hidden danger!
Since He Lingchuan had seen through the eye mites on Yang Chi, he decided to take advantage of the situation and pretended to let Dong Rui find Xiao An.
He didn't know that Cao Wendao had been thinking about Wei Yishan for a long time, but Xiao An was the experimental subject that the owner of Honglu had been looking for endlessly. Cao Wendao would not give up on her, so he would naturally keep a close eye on Yongquan Villa and the whereabouts of Wei Yishan.
Whether he was watching with his naked eyes or sending out insect puppets, there was a distance limit, so Cao Wendao must be staying nearby tonight.
At this time, the eastern suburbs of Tianshui City were covered with yellow mud and large pits dug everywhere. Not to mention that Cao Wendao was used to a life of luxury, even an ordinary person would not want to go there.
The only two creeks and rivers that still retain their original landforms are probably Cao Wendao's first choice for spending the night.
For He Lingchuan, such deduction is not difficult at all.
While Cao Wendao was still planning how to ambush "Wei Yishan" in his own camp dozens of miles away, He Lingchuan had already decided to kill him at the edge of Taoxi River tonight!
Taoxi is located to the west of Yongquan Villa. The expansion of Tianshui New City has temporarily left these tributaries untouched, so it has been able to preserve its original natural appearance and has not turned into a pile of yellow mud.
However, before they had walked more than a hundred feet, more than twenty horsemen appeared from behind a small hill and ran into them head-on.
A loud thunder flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire mountain and field, and both sides could see each other clearly.
The group of people behind the mountain, led by a man in a green robe with a high bun and phoenix eyes that look intimidating without even being angry, is actually Qingyang!
The twenty or so people behind her all had sharp eyes and were smart and capable.
As soon as he saw her, He Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat.
At this critical moment, Qingyang blocking his way meant...
"Island Master He, are you still traveling so late?" Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, penetrating the trickling rain and reaching everyone's ears.
"Qingyang is the regent." He Lingchuan stopped his horse.
The soul-stealing mirror in his arms snorted and continued: "You're still blocking the road so late?"
The two sides hadn't officially torn their faces apart yet, so He Lingchuan had to be polite when speaking: "It's so late and you're still not sleeping?"
"The refugees are restless and have sneaked into Youhu Lake." Qingyang said gently, "I'll bring people out to take a look. It seems that the Yongquan Villa of He Island Master has also been disturbed? How is it now?"
"Thanks to the Regent, those who should be arrested have been arrested, and those who should be expelled have been expelled, and peace has been restored." He Lingchuan said bluntly, "Master Regent, I have urgent matters to attend to. I will visit Youhu later!"
He made it very clear that he had something urgent to do and would not accompany you any longer.
Qingyang, a veteran official who had been in the officialdom for more than a hundred years, seemed not to understand and laughed to himself, "Young people are always impatient. In the eastern suburbs of Tianshui, apart from a few refugees running around, is there anything else that is worthy of Island Master He's personal dispatch?"
He Lingchuan opened her mouth to speak, but she finished it in one breath: "Since we meet here by chance, I have something to ask Master He."
"It's a coincidence that we meet?" The Soul-Catching Mirror said angrily, "Is this old woman coming here specially to block our way?"
Dong Rui also sent a message to He Lingchuan through the eyeball spider: "She is stalling for time!"
Qingyang blocked He Lingchuan's way and spoke slowly, isn't this the standard method of procrastination?
In other words, she and Cao Wenda had discussed this.
This place is very close to You Lake, so she rushed out to intercept He Lingchuan and told Cao Wendao to hurry up and escape!
The more than 300 people behind He Lingchuan followed his lead. As long as he could stop He Lingchuan, Cao Wendao would be at ease.
The worst thing is that Cao Wendao will definitely not stay in Taoxi obediently!
Once he left there, like a fish entering the sea, He Lingchuan would never be able to find him again.
But how can He Lingchuan get rid of Qingyang now?
If he forced his horse forward, Qingyang would definitely come forward to stop him. Although there were three hundred Yao Palace guards behind him, would Zhao Song dare to challenge Qingyang face to face?
Zhao Song is silent now, and he seems to be a different person from the indignant person in Yongquan Villa.
Therefore, these three hundred palace guards are useless against Qingyang.
Qingyang personally intercepted this time, and his grasp of the timing was quick, accurate, steady and ruthless.
He Lingchuan could also speak quickly and say that he was in a hurry to catch the murderer, but he could imagine that Qingyang would be surprised and then say "Let's go together".
Even if he could catch up with Cao Wendao, with Qingyang present, could he successfully kill or capture Cao Wendao?
Not very optimistic.
How to do?
He Lingchuan's eyes flashed, and before he could speak, he heard Dong Rui's voice transmission:
"You just play with her for a while, Cao Wendao is mine!"
Hey, don't be impulsive. He Lingchuan cursed inwardly, and then heard Dong Rui say:
"Do you think I will lose? Ah ha, will I lose to an old man who is rigid, incompetent, and does nothing but work for a living? - Don't worry, I am sure of it!"
