Chapter 49 Pursuit
Yan Duo agreed: "Master Zhao is right."
Zhao Wumian asked: "What about the person who escaped?"
"From what the two eunuchs said, it should be the White Lotus Sect."
Yan Duo was not too sure either: "Eunuch Hu said that the martial arts that man used was the White Lotus Sect's magic technique, the 'Miao Fa Lotus Palm', and the magic weapon he used for sneak attacks was the 'Demon-Repelling Pearl', which was refined by the 7th Patriarch of the Lotus Sect, Sheng Chang's relic. Once this pearl is fired, it is as fast as thunder and has infinite killing power. It is extremely dangerous! If it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also had a treasure to protect himself, it would really be dangerous. The most important thing is that the man not only had the 'Demon-Repelling Pearl', a mysterious bone magic weapon, but also a cloak that covered his aura, just like an ordinary person. If he missed the attack, he would immediately become invisible and escape. It's very strange!"
Stealth?
Zhao Wumian raised his eyebrows: "Ostrich?"
"Do not."
Jiang Huan in front spoke: "It's [Meng Ji]."
——The Records of Strange Things in Shenzhou records: Two hundred and eighty miles north of Beishan is the Stone Mountain, on which there are no plants, but many jades and greens. The Qi River flows out of it and flows westward into the Yellow River. There is a beast there, which looks like a leopard, but with white markings on its body. It is called Mengji, and is good at hiding and can escape from the five elements.
"Meng Ji is much stronger than the ostrich."
After Jiang Huan finished speaking, he turned to Zhao Wumian and asked, "Is the matter done?"
"It's over."
Zhao Wumian stepped forward and handed over the document.
Jiang Huan looked at them, his mouth twitching, and said helplessly: "I knew you would be reinstated, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. I guess those people made His Majesty unhappy, so there is no need for His Majesty to make them happy."
Being reinstated so quickly is also a slap in the face of those Huaixi nobles.
Aren't you dissatisfied with the killing of the three marquises? Do you want to take this opportunity to quit and protest?
In this case, we won’t tolerate it.
Zhao Wumian was the one who broke into Marquis Ji'an's mansion and killed all his horses. The lighter the punishment, the more it shows that he does not take Marquis Ji'an and the nobles of Huaixi seriously.
A slap in the face!
Zhao Wumian didn't care: "This is none of my business. I'm just following orders."
Jiang Huan smiled, but soon put it away and got back to the point: "The Five Poison Sect, the Dali Duan Clan, and the White Lotus Sect have joined forces to plot an assassination. It seems that the rebel forces in Yunnan have formed an alliance. The situation is not good. What do you think?"
"Rebellion is not a concern."
Zhao Wumian frowned and said, "I was thinking, Meng Ji... If it is Meng Ji, it will be hard to find him. Even if it is just the Mystic Bone Divine Weapon, not a natural magical power, and there is a time limit, this time is enough for a master to disappear... Hiding in the Five Elements is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Zhao Wumian's [Bone Mirror] can only be used once a day.
This is the flaw of the magic weapon.
In order to restore its function, it not only needs the owner's charging, but also its own energy storage. Both are indispensable.
If the bone mirror cannot recover its vitality on its own, then no matter how much external energy is injected into it, it will be useless. Only after it recovers its vitality and then borrows the power of its owner can it exert its due power.
The same should be true for the invisibility cloak, but for an expert, this time is enough!
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Huan sneered, "He was hit by Eunuch Hu's Five Evil Palms, which injured his internal organs. His life is at stake. He can't run far!"
"Five Evil Palms"!
The legendary skill was created by the famous martial arts master "Wu Sha Weng", which is ranked at the lower level of the earth level. This palm method is extremely vicious. Those who are hit will be affected by the five evil spirits: Chongtian Sha, Short Life Sha, Jijiao Sha, Jieming Sha and Tuiming Sha. Their qi and blood will be weakened and they will surely die!
Zhao Wumian felt slightly relieved, thinking that there was still a possibility of catching him.
Zhao Wumian said: "The Five Poison Sect and the Dali Duan family have lived in the south of the country for a long time. This time they were able to plan such an assassination. I'm afraid it was the White Lotus Sect who was behind it. There must be a branch of their sect in the capital! This man was seriously injured and fled, so he must be looking for help. Perhaps we can start from this point. As long as we find their branch, we should be able to find the seriously injured assassin!"
Jiang Huan's eyes lit up and he nodded: "That's right... By the way, isn't that 'King of Backers' a member of the White Lotus Sect? How is it? Did you gain anything?"
"Have."
Zhao Wumian switched to voice transmission and said, "I met a Seven Lotus Saint Envoy on Yunmeng Mountain. I learned the White Lotus Heart Sutra and the Wonderful Lotus Palm. I also have a [Sacred Lotus Token]. Maybe I can catch him off guard, but I can't use it now. As long as I find the assassin, I can naturally find the secret hall entrance, and vice versa. There's no need to bother."
"【Holy Lotus Order】? You are really amazing!" Jiang Huan was surprised and looked at Zhao Wumian deeply.
He knew how useful these two martial arts and tokens were. Together with Zhao Wumian's "Actor's Treasure Mirror", they might be able to inflict a great loss on the White Lotus Sect!
"Keep it well for yourself. The fewer people who know about it, the better. If you can't use it this time, there will be another time."
"Ah."
Zhao Wumian nodded.
"found it!"
Suddenly, Xuanwu shouted, released the spell, and opened his eyes.
Zhu Biao, the two eunuchs, the palace guards, Jiang Huan, and everyone from the Zhenfu Division all looked at Qi Shizhou, the fourth minister of the Zhenfu Division, who was called "Xuanwu".
Jiang Huan asked hurriedly: "Where?"
Qi Shizhou said: "Qinhuai River."
"Where exactly?"
An eunuch beside Zhu Biao could not help but ask: "The Qinhuai River has so many forks and is so long. How long will it take to search every inch of it? Besides this, does it have any name or characteristics?"
"They are already dead, and their memories of what they saw are very vague..."
Qi Shizhou frowned and said, "But there are more lights on both sides of the river, so it should be near the East Market. They met there and ambushed at the bottom of the river this morning, waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to pass by."
"Qinhuai River... East City... That's enough!"
Jiang Huan immediately said, "Each thousand households lead the team and search immediately! Kill anyone you see without mercy, and surround the place where they are hiding. It is very likely to be the entrance of the White Lotus Church. Don't let even a fly escape!"
"Yes!"
All the Jinyiwei responded in unison, performing lightness skills and dispersing.
Just as Qi Shizhou was about to go out, Jiang Huan stopped him: "Old Qi, wait a minute."
The Four Ministers of the Pacification Division are the four strongest people after Mao Xiang and Jiang Huan. They are fifth-rank thousand households. Qinglong and Baihu are at the early stage of the fourth realm, while Zhuque and Xuanwu are at the peak of the third realm.
Qi Shizhou clasped his fists and said, "What instructions does the pacification envoy have?"
Jiang Huan patted Zhao Wumian on the shoulder and said, "Let Captain Zhao follow you. This guy is smart and might be able to help."
Qi Shizhou glanced at Zhao Wumian and said with a smile, "No problem. I've heard of Captain Zhao's name a long time ago. Let's go now. The sooner we hunt him down, the greater the chance of getting rid of this scourge."
"it is good!"
Qi Shizhou has always been a loner and has few followers. He used his lightness skills to charge towards the Qinhuai River in the East Market.
Zhao Wumian performed “Stunning Steps on Snow” to follow.
Both of them were decisive and quick in action, and soon arrived at the bank of the Qinhuai River.
It was early morning, and the morning markets had just started on both sides of the Qinhuai River. The dignitaries on the pleasure boats who had been busy all night were getting up and leaving amid the reluctant calls of the lazy beauties.
The two landed.
Qi Shizhou looked around and said, "The East Market is not small. He is seriously injured and dares not show up. He must have gone by water! Let's search along the coast to see if there are any clues."
"it is good."
