Chapter 25: An Epistle
Another day has passed, less than half a month has passed since he came back from the Honglian Cave Heaven, and the skyrocketing speed of cultivation has made it a little difficult for Huang Wuji to adapt, just one morning, and Xiuwei has broken through again into the middle stage of the eighth layer of the Spirit Rhino Realm, as long as there is a week, I believe that he can directly enter the Eight Realms of Breaking Doors.
After eating the breakfast prepared by Zi Yan, Huang Wuji began a day's research, re-read the deployment of the Ziyang Sect in the Savings Jade Plate several times, and had a rough plan in his mind.
The key position of the second point of Kyoto, that is, the Five Cities Terracotta Division, that is, the Central, Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Command Division is the 6th Yamen. Each has 1 commander, 4 deputy commanders, and 1 officer. Responsible for law and order, fire prohibition and grooming of the canal streets.
Among them, the northern city and the southern city each have a deputy commander of the Ziyang faction, and there is only one Shi Mu in the central, eastern, and western cities. Although there is no commander, the power is still not small, and the commanders of the Five Cities Terracotta Division are generally part-time in other positions, and the power is generally delegated to the hands of the deputy commander.
Moreover, generally the five city gates are in charge of the five city soldiers and horses, which will be of great help to some things in the future. However, now is not the time to start planning, and whether the Ziyang faction trusts itself is still a big question.
If, at the beginning of the operation, the price was improvisedly put on the spot by the Ziyang faction, Huang Wuji would not be able to bear it no matter what. In the first stage, it is necessary to prove whether the Ziyang faction will really fully support him, the bait has been released, as long as you wait for the final result, you can know whether the Ziyang faction can be trusted.
Before I knew it, time passed quickly, noon was almost here, Zi Yan knocked on the door softly outside, and the aroma of the food penetrated into Huang Wuji's nose through the crack in the door.
"Hmm!" Huang Wuji looked up at the sky, and said secretly in his heart: "Time flies so fast, it's time for lunch in the blink of an eye, and I really wake up and eat, and I sleep after eating, and I'm about to become a lazy pig!"
"Come in!" Huang Wuji shouted lazily. Zi Yan pushed open the door and glanced at Huang Wuji angrily, the food was placed on the table, and she turned around and walked out without saying a word.
"This girl, what the hell, can't she really like me!" Huang Wuji touched his cheek a little narcissistically, and sighed with a stinky fart.
Huang Wuji is now the time to grow his body, and the amount of food he has eaten when he cultivates "King Kong Quenching Body Fist" has increased for a while, and the dishes on a table are just enough to eat, and when "King Kong Quenching Body Fist" continues to refine himself, the amount of food will increase greatly.
Huang Wuji's eating action was very elegant, but the action was not at all satisfied, the food on the table continued to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye, and when the last dish was eaten, the rice was just finished.
Huang Wuji burped, took a sip of the Longding tribute tea next to him, and enjoyed the rare afternoon sun, his eyes half-narrowed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
A hurried knock on the door broke the rare noon. Huang Wuji frowned, the sunshine that he had finally enjoyed all afternoon was ruined, and he said in a somewhat low voice: "Come in!"
Li Chong, the commander of the guards, pushed open the door and rushed in, still holding a white letter in his hand, and when he saw Huang Wuji sitting on the chair in the center, he immediately knelt down and said: "Your Highness, I don't know who it is, leave a letter in the lowly room, and the envelope indicates that you will open it yourself!"
"Oh!" Huang Wuji was a little strange when he heard it, why didn't he send it to his own room, but he wanted to send it to Li Chong's room, could someone be testing him.
"Take it, I'll take a look!" Huang Wuji reached out and took the envelope from the hand of Li Chong, the commander of the guards. It was found that the edge of the envelope was still intact, proving that Li Chong, the commander of the guards, had not opened it.
However, just when he was about to open the envelope, the movements in his hand suddenly slowed down, and a thing in the next three hundred years appeared in his mind, Qin Zun, the son of the Great Qin Emperor among the sons of the Six Great Fortunes, almost died because of a letter.
At that time, things were very similar to today's, all of them were cronies' rooms with inexplicable extra letters, so that the cronies handed over to their masters, and the masters generally did not have suspicions, and the letter paper was coated with poison, and some poisons could not be lifted by cultivation, and there must be a special antidote.
If it weren't for the fact that Qin Zun had a pill of Heavenly Medicine that could cure all poisons, and without Huang Wuji killing him, he wouldn't be able to die if he was already dead. Thinking of this, Huang Wuji took back the hand that wanted to tear open the envelope, and said to Li Chong, the commander of the guards: "Go and catch a chicken or dog, and by the way, take an iron clip, this prince is useful!"
Li Chong, the commander of the guards, didn't understand what Huang Wuji wanted to do, but he still did it as if he had been done, and soon walked in with a big dog in his hand and a small iron clip in his hand.
Huang Wuji saw that Li Chong, the commander of the guards, had done everything according to his orders, and tore off a corner of the tablecloth. Wrap a strip of cloth around the handle of the iron clip, hold the iron clip in his own hand, and gently tear the edge of the envelope, the surface of the envelope is not poisonous, Huang Wuji can be sure of this.
Huang Wuji cautiously pulled out the letter paper in the envelope with an iron clip and threw it on the table. Looking at the letter paper with a completely normal color, Huang Wuji was still not sure, and tore off a corner of the letter with an iron clip from one foot of the letter, and threw the fragments into the big dog's mouth without looking at the contents of the letter.
Li Chong, the commander of the guards, was very puzzled when he saw Huang Wuji's actions, why did he have to make so many moths in a good letter. Before Li Chong, the commander of the guards, could finish thinking about it, the big dog in his hand suddenly foamed at the mouth, his limbs twitched, and all parts of his body corroded, and pieces of rotten meat fell from the big dog's body, and drops of black blood dripped onto the ground with the fall of rotten meat.
"Poof? poof?????? "Black droplets of blood corroded the hard ground, and small pits appeared on the ground, making the originally flat ground look like a pockmarked face.
The howl of the big dog woke up Li Chong, the commander of the guards, and when he saw the tragic state of the big dog, the rope in his hand was thrown aside, and the whole person hurriedly picked it away, looking at the tragic death of the big dog with an extremely ugly face.
"Your Highness, forgive your sins, you should die for your humble duties!" Li Chong, the commander of the guards, knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and he didn't know what to say. Huang Wuji didn't speak, his eyes looked at the letter paper that only showed a corner, and he took the iron clip and pulled the letter out of the envelope little by little, pinching it in the air.
I saw that the letter paper read: "Li He, if you can see this letter, it proves that you are still alive, which means that your luck is good, and someone should be your substitute ghost." Don't worry, though, the game has just started and we still have a lot of time!".
The letterhead at the end is signed "Someone who wants to kill you".
"Who the hell is it, you must put me to death!" Huang Wuji didn't have a clue at all, if he wanted to say that he killed himself because of the incident in Mingyue Tower, it was simply impossible.
It's just that it broke the hands and feet of a few people, and it can be healed immediately after lying on the bed for a month or two. The most retribution is like Cui Hong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and it is somewhat incomprehensible as for killing.
However, Huang Wuji also knew that some people thought differently from him, because those who had that kind of thought were crazy. There are only two people in Mingyuelou who can have this kind of power to take revenge on themselves, one person, Cui Hong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who has been in control of the Criminal Department for almost fifty years, it can be said that he is in a high position, and it is not surprising that he has a force in his hands.
The second, Zhenguo Marquis Li Mu, in Huang Wuji's opinion, Li Mu is the most unlikely person to kill himself, Zhenguo Marquis Li Mu is very shrewd, and will not expose his relationship with the Blood Demon Gate for the sake of a son.
"Who the hell is it!" Huang Wuji rubbed his head and had a headache, this person was completely hidden in the dark, so that he couldn't see through it. If he came openly, Huang Wuji would not be afraid, and the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth, but this person did not follow the normal rules, either assassinated or poisoned, which made people unable to guard against it, if it wasn't for the sudden feeling that something was wrong today, maybe the other party had already won the way.
"Li Chong, when did this letter arrive in your room!" Huang Wuji said as he looked at Li Chong, the commander of the guards who was kneeling on the ground, hoping to get some clues from the other party's mouth.
"Your Highness, it should be in the morning, when the humble duty inspected the back garden, last night and early in the morning, the humble post can be sure that there is no such letter in the room, only when the humble duty inspects the back garden and protects His Royal Highness, it is possible to put it in the humble office's room!"
"Apart from these, what else did you have when you saw the envelope for the first time?" Huang Wuji asked with some hope, although he knew that there were few clues that could be found,
Li Chong, the commander of the guards, lowered his head and thought about it carefully, then raised his head to look at Huang Wuji and shook his head and said, "No, when the lowly returned to the room, the envelope was already on the lowly desk, and nothing unusual happened!"
Suddenly, Li Chong, the commander of the guards, had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and with a puzzled expression on his face, he said with some uncertainty: "Your Highness, I thought of a thing, I don't know if it counts as a clue!"
"Oh, what is it, say it and I'll listen!" Huang Wuji became interested, and even the slightest hint could have different consequences.
"Humble duty, when I returned to the room, I smelled a bloody breath, if it weren't for the humble position's sensitivity to blood, I wouldn't have found it!" Li Chong, the commander of the guards, told Huang Wuji about the abnormal situation in the room, and he was worried that he didn't know if it was a clue.
"I know, I can't blame you for this, you go down!" Hearing Li Chong say the smell of blood, he already knew who did it this time.
Li Chong, the commander of the guards, glanced at Huang Wuji gratefully, when he encountered such a thing, he was already extremely kind not to kill himself, and he couldn't think of the last thing.
Li Chong, the commander of the guards, retreated, Huang Wuji's calm eyes changed suddenly, his fierce gaze flashed with endless killing intent, and behind him, a phantom of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood loomed, and an ethereal and illusory blood-colored mist filled the entire room.
"Blood Demon Gate, interesting, interesting, was it done by one person in the Blood Demon Gate, or was it an order from the higher-ups!" Huang Wuji became suspicious of the assassination the day before yesterday for the first time, and found that things seemed to be out of his control.
