So, the characters that appear there are a mixed bag.
Cao Wendao and his disciples took this route when they came here. They had personally investigated the situation in Huilongpo and they all felt that this was a suitable place to start.
"Wei Yi will most likely stop at his camp in Huilongpo to restock supplies as he heads west." Cao Wendao decided, "We'll catch him there."
He didn't have the patience to follow him all the way. Not only was the road complicated and it was easy to lose him, but who knew what would happen next.
Xiao An and Wei Yishan are both very important to his research and must be kept under control in a timely manner.
"Yes!"
He sent two disciples to lurk near the gate of Yongquan Villa so as not to miss Wei Yishan's departure.
There were two other disciples around him, one of whom muttered to the other, "I never thought a wild demon puppet master would appear here."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Cao Wendao's mind was moved. Wild?
No, he had suspected before that among the Black Armored Army that took away his Tiger-Tie and Porcupine, there was also a Demon Puppet Master, or at least he was very familiar with demon puppets.
In the vast Shining Golden Plains, it is hard to find a second group of demon puppet masters. How could two of them suddenly appear in recent months?
How could it be such a coincidence?
Hiss, is Wei Yishan a member of the Black Armor Army?
This conjecture is quite explosive.
Wait, if Wei Yishan is a member of the Black Armor Army, then Yang Shanren in Yongquan Villa, and his target He Xiao...
Tsk tsk, when Qingyang faction gave him the mission to kill, did he know the true identity of the target?
Thinking of this, he wrote a note, grabbed a green fly coin and let it fly away.
……
A small cottage on a secluded lake, Huaji Island.
There was a huge longan tree next to Qingyang's residence. It was lush and full of leaves, and it would bear abundant fruits every late summer. Qingyang had also tasted the longan from the tree, and it was very sweet.
Of course, the longan tree has no fruit now, but its branches and leaves are still lush. Qingyang sat on the tree, holding the green jade gourd in his hand.
This gourd is an old item she brought out from the Qing Palace in Lingxu City. Its capacity is not as small as it looks on the surface. It can hold at least 150 to 160 kilograms of fine wine.
The tree trunk was soaked, but she didn't care, sipping her wine and swinging her legs gently.
She spent most of her teenage years in the Imperial Palace of Lingxu City. The Emperor was still a prince at that time and did not like to practice cultivation. He often sneaked with her to a big tree on the edge of the floating island to look at the vast land below.
When people get old, they always like to reminisce about the past.
But in front of her was not the magnificent Lingxu City, but only a dark and bustling construction site.
The lights of Youhu Villa across the street had not been on for several days. The construction team and the ordered building materials were all moved to support Tianshui East City. The clanging noise finally stopped, and Youhu returned to its tranquility.
He Xiao did this and was praised by the King of Yao for his selfless dedication. Qingyang shook his head secretly when he thought about it. The people in the Yao court were looking forward to the construction of the new city and were working hard, unaware that a disaster was about to come.
Hey, when death is imminent, you are still desperately chasing after material things.
Yuan Xuan walked under the tree and whispered, "Palace Master, everyone has been sent out."
Qingyang hummed.
"Chief Liang said that it would take three days for him to make the arrangements."
"Procrastination is the usual style of the temple." Qingyang did not find it strange at all. "Whether it is the temple of Lingxu City or Yao Kingdom, they are all like this. If there were more Bai Ziqi, their efficiency would be greatly improved."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soft "whoosh" sound was heard in the air.
Someone is attacking? Yuan Xuan immediately became alert.
Qingyang took a sip of wine, not caring at all as he tilted his head back to expose his vitals: "It's just a quick message."
A green shadow flew around her several times, as if confirming her identity. Qingyang stretched out her hand, and the object stopped in her palm.
It turned out to be a green aphid coin.
This coin is hollow and can hide messages, making it most suitable for short-distance transmission.
Just by looking at the color of the Qingxie money, Qingyang knew it came from Cao Wendao.
What message did the owner of Honglu send her in the middle of the night?
This guy loves to make trouble and is famous for being difficult to serve in Lingxu City.
Qingyang pressed open the interlayer of the Qingxie money, took out the note and unfolded it.
With just a glance, she put away her nonchalant expression.
"Palace Master?" Yuan Xuan could sense something was wrong with her because the air around them suddenly became heavy.
"Is Wei Yishan, the idler beside He Xiao, a demon puppet master?"
"The demon puppet experimental subject that escaped from Honglu was hidden by Wei Yishan or He Xiao?"
The message sent by Cao Wendao was short, but it was very important.
The last time they met, Cao Wendao said that his demon puppet was taken away by the Nine Nether Emperor and the Black Armor Army, and was released again in Xiaotao Villa to hurt people. The fact that he could do this meant that there was probably a demon puppet master among the Black Armor Army.
Now, Cao Wendao has confirmed that there is also a demon puppet master hiding beside He Xiao. Are demon puppet masters rampant in the Shining Gold Plains recently?
If not, Wei Yishan is an important clue, pointing directly to Emperor Jiuyou!
Is He Xiao the Great Emperor Jiuyou? Or is he related to the Great Emperor Jiuyou?
With Qingyang's temperament, he couldn't help but take a deep breath at this time, using the cold evening breeze to calm his mood.
Although her first reaction was that it was impossible, but thinking back, on the night Xue Zongwu was killed, although He Xiao was not in Mangzhou, he appeared in Zhuowei, several miles away, and happened to rest in the same inn as General Chongwu.
The tribute was stolen that night, and General Chongwu chased the two thieves for an entire night, and ended up becoming the key suspects in Yao Ting's investigation into the murder.
How could so many accidents happen wherever He Xiao goes?
Cao Wendao didn't know He Xiao's specific background, so he just sent these two messages.
But as soon as Qingyang saw the content of the note, he immediately had a series of leap associations!
The Qing Palace once lost an ancient treasure, which was the shell left behind by a giant snail monster, called the "Mud Palace", which had the ability to store living things and travel quickly underground.
This thing was also put aside in the Qing Palace because it could only fit snail monsters, and even Beiga couldn't find a snail monster that could carry it.
But it came back many years later and was used against her by one man!
"Xi Yunhe..." Qingyang couldn't help but whisper the name.
Xi Yunhe created a strange monster, the snail toad, and used it to open the prologue to the case of the elixir of life.
She had read the case files of the Immortality Medicine case, and found that this snail toad could match the ancient treasure "Mud Palace", but it always appeared on rainy days. At that time, He Xiao inferred that this might be the prerequisite for the snail toad to be dispatched.
Moreover, this monster was created by a demon puppet master and must take summer cypress to maintain its half-snail, half-toad form, otherwise it would not be able to carry the "Mud Palace".
After the elixir case was closed, Xi Yunhe and Wo Chan's whereabouts remained unknown.
But she later learned that Xi Yunhe was most likely the weapon left by Shuang Ye to deal with her.
As for which puppet master created the snail toad, there is no record in the files and no one cares.
At that time, all the attention this case attracted was focused on Cen Boqing and Qingyang. Who would investigate who created the snail toad?
But she always suspected that He Xiao was working for Shuang Ye.
If that demon puppet master also works for Frost Leaf, would He Xiao recognize him and could he also borrow his snail toad?
"Rainy day?" She murmured to herself, "It has been raining in Mangzhou since before and after Xue Zongwu was killed!"
Although it is not far from Zhuowei to Mangzhou, the mountain road is winding and rugged, and the road is slippery in rainy days. If you want to go back and forth that night, you must have a good horse. This is also the reason why General Chongwu was suspected by the authorities:
He really has a good horse that can travel eight hundred miles in one night.
However, if the murderer used a demon puppet that could burrow underground, then wouldn't it be able to leave no trace underground?
She also knew that her idea was a bit too much. If Emperor Jiuyou really used the Demon Puppet Master and the Snail Toad to hunt down Xue Zongwu and Qi Yunsheng, then it meant that he was also related to Xi Yunhe and National Master Shuangye.
Frost Leaf might have such a strong man under his command, but how could he activate the Black Dragon Mark?
If the Black Dragon Mark is related to the ancient dragon god, it would never favor a filthy creature like Frost Leaf!
Or does Emperor Jiuyou himself have a treasure that allows him to escape underground?
But what about Wei Yishan, the demon puppet master? Why did he have the test subject that Honglu lost?
Qingyang immediately told Yuan Xuan:
"Go check whether there are any medicine stores within a hundred miles of Mangzhou that have received or sold large amounts of Prunella Vulgaris before and after Xue Zongwu was murdered."
She had to confirm it.
"Yes."
Yuan Xuan was about to turn around when Qing Yang stared at the note and suddenly said, "Wait!"
The note said that Cao Wendao had tricked He Xiao into eavesdropping on the conversation between Wei Yishan, so he knew that Wei Yishan would take Xiao An back the next morning, and he wanted to lure Cao Wendao into the trap. So Cao Wendao decided to take advantage of the situation and intercept Wei Yishan halfway.
"Where is this guy?" Qingyang pondered, "He wants to track down Wei Yishan, so he can't be too far away from Yongquan Villa. But the suburbs in the east of the city are all muddy, so he needs to find a place to stay that no one can see..."
She lowered her head and asked Yuan Xuan, "Within five miles of Yongquan Villa, is there any place that still retains its original landscape and is suitable for stationing?"
This question was too unpopular. Yuan Xuan tried to recall for a while before answering, "The soil is being turned over everywhere in the eastern suburbs. There is mud everywhere. If you want to find a good place to stay around Yongquan Villa, you have to go to Taoxi, Red River Valley, or Baimolin."
They walked around the eastern suburbs every day and became very familiar with the local topography.
"It's impossible for the Red River Valley. The terrain is too low. It's wet after the rain, and there are puddles and ice valleys everywhere." Qingyang pondered, "At this season, the leaves of the Baimolin have fallen off, and it's already bald, so it's not easy to hide people."
Then there is only Taoxi.
"With Cao Wendao's temper, he can only stay in Taoxi." Cao Wendao was used to a life of luxury, and it was impossible for him to stay in the mud. Thinking of this, Qingyang was shocked, "Not good! I can figure it out, so can He Xiao!"
Yuan Xuan couldn't help but ask, "You mean, He Xiao knew that Cao Wendao was stationed outside the villa?"
"This guy is very good at setting traps and making others fall into them unknowingly." Qingyang was filled with anger when he thought of He Yang's death.
Now that I think about it, He Yang's invitation to fight at King Yao's birthday ceremony was most likely part of He Xiao's plan.
Not only did he suffer enough injustice in front of all the officials, but he also killed He Yang, the thorn in his side!
Is it strange that he is plotting against Cao Wenda now?
Qingyang pushed himself up with one arm and jumped down from the tree: "Prepare the horses, come with me!"
be quick.
If you go late, it may be too late.
