Chapter 375: Elder of the Mo Family
Yu Buzhi hurriedly left the fourth floor of the Yellow Turban Cottage
He has been fighting for many days in a row at the double leveling point, Xu Shu is looking for him through the world, Yu Buzhi knows that there must be some situation, and hurries back to the territory. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Back in the city lord's office, there were already quite a few people in the room.
Xu Shu, Yi Feng, Old Ranger and Xu Piaomiao were all present, and there was also a strange old man.
This old man's face was full of wrinkles, his teeth were almost gone, and the black robe on his body was a typical Mojia style, perhaps because he had worn it for too long, it was a little white, and he could see a few patches. The black-robed old man's left sleeve was empty, and he only had one arm. When Yu Buzhi came in, he was chatting and laughing with the old ranger, and Xu Piaomiao stood respectfully behind the one-armed old man, like a miscellaneous servant.
Fish is unwise, and his eyes light up.
The master of the Mo family has arrived!
The master of the Mo family who was sent to deal with the twin demons seems to be of a high rank, no wonder Xu Shu will come back to him.
"Lord!"
"Your Excellency!"
Seeing that Yu Buzhi came in, Xu Shu, Yi Feng and Xu Piaomiao greeted each other.
Yu Buzhi smiled and nodded in response, and walked quickly to the one-armed old man.
"Looking at the clothes, this should be the predecessor of the Mo family, right?"
"The one-armed elder of this sect has just come from the sect." Xu Piaomiao was introduced on the side.
"It's not wise to fish down, I've seen the elders!"
"The lord of the city is polite." The one-armed old man smiled and bowed slightly.
The experience of the one-armed old man is quite legendary.
The old man's original name was not one-armed, he was a member of the Ranger Society, personally participated in the pursuit of the twin demons, and was one of the seven people who finally returned alive, and was still a senior martial artist at the time, he lost an arm in that operation and returned to the sect to recuperate. He is extremely talented, and he has the peak level of a senior martial artist in his 20s, but he has never been able to get a breakthrough opportunity, and he has been at the peak level of the senior level for 30 years.
He originally thought that there would be no way to get a glimpse of the master-level door in this life.
Chasing down the Twin Demons cost him an arm, but it also allowed him to gain valuable experience in the life-and-death struggle with the masters. After the battle, he returned to the sect to recuperate from his injuries, and soon the news spread that he had successfully broken through the bottleneck and promoted to a master-level martial artist. The name "One-Armed Elder" was given by him, and it is said that it was in memory of his fellow rangers who died fighting to kill the two demons, and over time, no one called him by his real name.
Yu Buzhi later learned that the one-armed elder is the only master-level martial artist in the Mo family at present, and after being promoted to master, he quit the Ranger Club and sat in the sect, which is equivalent to the martial arts of the sect, and he has not left the mountain gate of the Mo family for half a step. This time, the Mo family asked him to rush to the aid of the deer leader, which shows that the Mo family attaches great importance to the existence of the two demons.
The twin demons didn't dare to go to the Zhulu Territory to spread wildness, and the Mo Artist could continue to go to the Wooden Horn Territory to take revenge, but there were two master-level martial artists over there, and it was irresponsible to ask the one-armed elders to pick one and the other. Yu Buzhi persuaded the one-armed elder to rest for a while in the Zhulu Ling, waiting for the opportunity to act with the Zhulu Ling.
The one-armed elder understood that this matter should not be rushed, and immediately agreed.
The elder brought an update on the situation.
Bird Di is indeed a rare genius in hundreds of years, and has an amazing talent for mechanical arts. The higher the attainment of the organ technique, the more obvious the shortcomings of the lack of cultivation of the bird, considering that the bird's temperament is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and the forbidden secret technique is forcibly used in an emergency, the eyebrows will not wrinkle, the higher his cultivation, the more worried the sect is about his safety.
The current poultry Di, the attainment of the mechanism technique is not the same as the one who just returned to the sect.
But the more powerful the technique, the more it needs to be cultivated as support.
Bird Di is in the deer collar meeting, forcibly casting some forbidden secret techniques will leave a dark wound, and it can also be treated. After he went back, he read the codex of the ancestors of the Mo family in the past dynasties, including the codex of the giant son, God knows what crazy secret techniques he mastered, if he forcibly used his cultivation, I am afraid it is not a matter of leaving serious dark wounds, but whether he can save his life!
Finally looking forward to a genius disciple, the sect attaches great importance to the safety of Yu Di.
The Mo family opened the secret vault of the sect, and the heavenly treasures that were reluctant to be used accumulated for hundreds of years were stuffed into the mouth of Yu Di like money, with only one purpose, to help Yu Di improve his cultivation.
The one-armed elder finally said, "We didn't tell Xiao Di about the news of the birth of the twin demons, so as not to distract him. ”
Everyone understands the hard work of the Mo family, two master-level masters who are known for their ferocity and thirst for killing, which is worrying, and it is really not appropriate to let Yu Di know about this. The Mo family sent the only master-level martial artists in the sect to help in the battle, which had already shown their greatest support for the Zhulu Leader.
After some pleasantries, the old man took the one-armed elder to his small courtyard for a while.
The two have fought side by side, and have been with each other in life and death, and they met again after more than ten years of separation, and they were very cordial.
Xu Piaomiao followed and left, but Xu Shu and Yi Feng did not move.
"What else?"
Xu Shu said: "Lord, Zhang Zhong is back." ”
"Where?"
"Wait in the administrative center."
Yu Buzhi soon met Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong was ordered to go out a while ago to find the Xuanwu Kui Pagoda and the Qinglong Kui Pagoda that had been opened by the Yellow Turban Army, and strive to be used by the Deer Leader. Yu Buzhi learned from Xun Yan that the Xuanwu Kui Pagoda failed to open, and Zhang Zhong rushed to Moling, Danyang County, Yangzhou, to try to open the Qinglong Kui Pagoda, and after so long, he finally returned to the territory.
The lord panel shows the troops, including the bonuses they receive.
It is not difficult to know from the lord's panel that Zhang Zhong failed to open the new Kuita, and the operation failed.
Fish unwise need to know the reason for failure.
Zhang Zhong's face was full of frustration and shame: "Qinglong Kui Tower, like Xuanwu Kui Tower, found a place in Xia, and tried all means outside, but Kui Tower never responded. ”
Yu Buzhi frowned and said, "There is no response... Cause? ”
Zhang Zhong obviously thought about this problem, and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates have never encountered such a problem before, and they have some ideas, but they are pure speculation, and I don't know if they are right or not." ”
"Say!"
He had four guesses.
1. The main force of the Yellow Turbans failed, but there were other Yellow Turban troops active, which may be regarded as the Yellow Turbans still existing, and Kuita was not in a state of ownerlessness, so there was no response.
2. Maybe there is a cooldown time before Quita re-confesses the Lord.
3. The problem may lie in the deer collar itself, that is, whether the deer collar meets the conditions for opening more Kuita.
4. Someone rushed to become the new owner of the Xuanwu Kui Pagoda and the Qinglong Kui Pagoda before the deer collar.
As Zhang Zhong said, each of them seems to have a certain truth, but there is no reliable argument to support it, and it is all his one-sided speculation.
Yu Buzhi and Xu Shu glanced at each other, both a little helpless.
They could see that Zhang Zhong was also very confused, Xu Shu had privately asked Mo Wei who was traveling with him, and Zhang Zhong almost collapsed when he found that Kuita did not respond for a few days. He was originally a half-ass, and it was not surprising that he was mad when he encountered such a situation.
After Wen Yan comforted him, he waved his hand to let Zhang Zhong return to the Taoist temple.
Xu Shu said: "There is one more thing that needs to be reported to the lord. ”
"Yuan Zhi, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"There is a villager in the territory recently, and his appearance is suspicious."
Yu Buzhi was a radical spirit, and blurted out: "A traitor planted by others? ”
"The traitor can't say it, it's just that his whereabouts are weird, and the situation is like this......"
Night Rain Town.
Yeyu Town is the second subordinate territory of the Zhulu Territory, not long ago it was promoted to a third-level township, and the scale of the territory has increased greatly, and Yi Feng has transferred a large number of villagers from the friendly territory to station, and Yeyu Town has suddenly become lively. Every newcomer knows that the mayor's son leads an army and is highly valued by the lord.
The son is angry, and the night rain town is upgraded, which can be described as a good thing.
However, Mayor Wang Dong has not seen much smile on his face recently, and he always looks worried.
According to the old villagers in the town, when Yeyu Town was just upgraded, Wang Dong was happy all day long. One day Mr. Xu asked someone to call him to the main city, after returning from Zhulu City, Wang Dong began to become preoccupied, and often stood alone outside the warehouse for most of the day, as if he was watching everyone work, and as if he was in a daze.
Some villagers in Yeyu Town privately asked Wang Dong if Wang Ping had made any mistakes.
Xu Shu is the confidant of the lord, the commander of the Zhulu Army, and the direct superior of Xiao Wang Ping, this situation occurred after Xu Shu called Wang Dong, and it is easy for everyone to think in that direction.
Wang Dong flatly denied this, claiming that there was no such thing as nothing.
He wouldn't say, and the others didn't want to ask again.
Wang Dong has not been in a good mood recently, but the villagers are obviously too big in their brains, Xu Shu asked him to talk, and the things he talked about had nothing to do with Wang Ping, but with a villager in Yeyu Town.
Wang Dong was told that one of the villagers who had just settled in Yeyu Town was suspicious, and asked him to pay attention.
Xu Shu is not only the coach of the deer, but also presides over the intelligence center, and he finds clues from some intelligence.
A news that "night rain villagers strayed into the fog forest" attracted his attention.
Reports from the Yimin settlement that one day they were walking through the fog forest to the cave at the bottom of the valley when they noticed what appeared to be someone following them. The Yimin pretended not to know, set up an ambush, and captured the stalker on the spot, only to find out that the young man was a villager from Zhulu, who had just been assigned to Yeyu Town, and ran to Baihu Mountain in his spare time to familiarize himself with the terrain, and saw the Yimin enter the fog forest, and followed with curiosity for a while.
Yeyu Town is close to Baihu Mountain, and it is common for new villagers to run to play in the mountains.
After confirming the identity of the other party, the Yimin told the young man that there was nothing to see in the fog forest, and they were worried that the young man would get lost in the fog forest, so they specially asked one of the Yimin to send him away.
The people didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but Xu Shu keenly smelled a strange smell.
Xu Shu remained silent, and asked those Yimin who met the young man that day to go to Yeyu Town to do business, and it took two days before and after to secretly find out the identity of the young man who "strayed into the fog forest".
The young man's name is Xun Yuan.
Following the identity check, more suspicious points surfaced.
Xun Yuan is a newcomer who has just joined the territory after being promoted to a second-level city in the Zhulu Territory, and it has been less than a month since he became a Zhulu Person, but Yeyu Town is not the first subordinate territory he has settled. After Xun Yuan arrived in the territory, he was first settled in Herben Town, and soon transferred to Yeyu Town.
Hua Laohan, the mayor of Herb Town, told Xu Shu that Xun Yuan was sent out of Herb Town because he was not a medicine farmer.
"It's not a medicine farmer, why did it send it to you?" Xu Shu asked.
"When he joined the territory, he was dressed as a medicine farmer, and the officials of the administrative center sent him over. But when he went to Herb Town, he didn't even know many common medicinal herbs, and he didn't know how to grow them. After the upgrading of Herb Town, it needs manpower, I originally planned to find a senior medicine farmer to take him, and asked him if he was willing to learn, Xun Yuan thought about it for a night, and the next day said that there was no need for that, so I had to send him back to the administrative center. ”
If you don't have the skills of a medicine farmer and don't have the will to become a medicine farmer, how can you be sent to Herb Town by the administrative center?
The administrative center belonged to Yi Feng, and Xu Shu immediately found Yi Feng.
The officials in charge were found through the villagers' registers and inquired about the situation at that time.
Xun Yuan joined the territory for a short time, and the number of displaced people in the territory is limited every day, so the handling officials should be able to provide some clues, and call the handling officials over and ask. The official in charge was very impressed by Xun Yuan, and he told everyone that Xun Yuan was very depressed when he came to Zhulu Ling, looking tired and hungry, which was obviously different from the usual homeless people, and when he came to the territory, he was dressed as a medicine farmer, carrying a bamboo basket containing herbs.
"Xun Yuan told his subordinates at that time that he was a medicine farmer, so we sent him to Herb Town, and when he was returned to the administrative center by Herb Town, I still wondered if he spoke nonsense during the record...... "The officials in charge are very aggrieved.
There is a problem with Xun Yuan's identity, which is already undoubted.
Xu Shu was not in a hurry to close the net, and the investigation continued.
Xun Yuan first entered Xu Shu's sight because he entered the fog forest, Xu Shu ordered the officials of the intelligence center to review all the information related to the "fog forest" in recent times, and found that there was a report of "medicine picker mistakenly entering the fog forest" in many pieces of information recently!
Follow the vine to check it out. Finding the Yimin concerned, the Yimin recalled the situation of meeting the herb picker, and the crowd said that the herb picker was a young man, and the physical characteristics they described were strikingly similar to Xun Yuan. Xu Shu asked the Yimin who had helped the "medicine picker" to quietly recognize the people, and most of the Yimin, including Ah Duo, told Xu Shu very firmly that it was Xun Yuan that they met at that time.
The results of the investigation showed that Xun Yuan had an unusual interest in the fog forest.
Based on these clues, Xu Shu deduced Xun Yuan's motive for joining the Zhulu Collar: the other party had previously pretended to be a medicine picker to enter Baihu Mountain, and tried to sneak into the fog forest many times, but because it was difficult to discern the direction in the dense fog, he failed to achieve his goal. Xun Yuan found that the Yimin of the Zhulu Collar came and went freely in the fog forest, so he simply joined the Zhulu Ling, and was not affected by the dense fog from then on, but even so, it was still easy to get lost in the fog forest, so he wanted to follow the Yimin and enter the depths of the fog forest.
If Xun Yuan heard these words, he would definitely be surprised.
Xu Shu's judgment is all right!
Keen to lock on the anomaly in a lot of trivial information, follow the vine, chase and fight, and let the truth gradually emerge through his own analysis, this is the power of a king-level strategist.
Xu Shu also didn't understand something, that was Xun Yuan's motive.
What is the purpose of his perseverance in the fog forest?
Is it for the White Tiger Pagoda, or is it a valley cave at the other end of the fog forest?
Xun Yuan is an ordinary person, and the danger factor is not high, Xu Shu decided to take a long-term line and sent a senior martial artist to stare at what medicine was sold in Xun Yuan's gourd. Since it is a long-term surveillance, it is inevitable to say hello to the mayor of Yeyu, and by the way, let Wang Dong pay more attention to it on weekdays.
Knowing that there was a suspicious person hiding in Yeyu Town, Wang Dong felt a lot of pressure.
The recent anxiety of the mayor of Yeyu is all because of Xun Yuan.
