Chapter 534 Wuyang Palace

Chapter 534 Wuyang Palace

"Are you sure there are no missed ones?"

After returning to the inner court of the city guards, Lou Xiu immediately called his subordinate Tu Bicheng to question him.

Shi Chun and Wu Jin were not actually in Zhulang Pavilion. The people outside did not see them come out, and even the insiders in Zhulang Pavilion did not see them. This was already strange.

The two of them left Zhulang Pavilion secretly, not just to find another hiding place in the city, but most likely they left the city.

He had already ordered controls at the four city gates, so it was unlikely that the two guys could escape without being discovered, so he asked this question.

Tu Bicheng said: "Captain, our people have been to the four city gates, and they all know the importance of the situation. The city guards may be careless, but we have our own people watching. You can trust that they will not be careless and will not miss any inspections."

Lou Xiu: "I don't want 'should', I want a definite answer. Ask if there is anything I missed immediately!"

"Yes." Tu Bicheng murmured reluctantly in his heart, but on the surface he obeyed the order and left quickly.

He didn't leave for too long. About half an hour later, he hurried back and said with a look of hesitation: "Captain, I have asked carefully. If there is anything I missed, there is indeed one. Before dawn, a carriage left the city. It was the carriage of the city lord's mansion. The guards were not qualified to check it, so they could only let it pass."

Lou Xiu was startled and asked, "Why is the City Lord's Mansion's car leaving the city before dawn?"

Tu Bicheng smiled bitterly and said, "Tixia, I am not qualified to ask about the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion."

Lou Xiu was silent. He wanted to investigate, but he had just taken office and did not have enough manpower, both openly and covertly. It was not appropriate for him to investigate the City Lord's Mansion. It was also not appropriate to report directly to the City Lord. If he really asked, the City Lord would definitely be surprised and wonder why he was so active in those people's affairs.

After thinking it over again and again, he dismissed Tu Bicheng, then he left the city and headed straight for the sacred mountain.

After entering the mountain gate, he went straight to the center of Beishan and met Beishan Lord Huang Ye on the second floor.

After reporting the relevant situation, Lou Xiu raised his suspicion, "I suspect that Shi Chun and the other two got out by using the carriage of the City Lord's Mansion. It may be that Yin Xu of Zhu Lang Pavilion used his own channels to help, but the Lord said before that the Jihuo Sect has used its connections to make Zhu Lang Pavilion suspend that business. If we want to find out, I'm afraid we have to start with the carriage of the City Lord's Mansion."

He came here just to gain support from this side, otherwise he would not be able to commit an offense and rashly investigate the City Lord's Mansion.

Huang Ye, standing by the window with his hands behind his back, listened to his report quietly. After a long while, he uttered, "Yin Xu, that woman, was actually the maid of the Qingqiu Patriarch..."

Lou Xiu was speechless. It turned out that after talking for a long time, this person was still most concerned about this. Wasn't this the first thing to focus on? Wasn't it to find the whereabouts of those two guys first? But he had no choice but to reply, "I doubt it is true. How could the maid of Qingqiu Patriarch be exiled so easily, and how could she become the lover of the Western Emperor? I guess it was an expedient measure to save her life."

Huang Ye tilted his head slightly and glanced at him. "Yin Xu has been welcoming and seeing off guests for many years. She is not a person who does not know her limits, especially not a person who talks nonsense. Can she say such things casually? If she uses the name of Qingqiu Patriarch to deceive people, how can Qingqiu let her go? By then, the Western Emperor will not dare to protect her. Are Shi Chun and the other two worth the price she has to pay?"

Lou Xiu hesitated for a moment and tried to ask, "Does her life or death matter?"

The implication is that we just need to mind our own business.

Huang Ye shook his head slightly. "It's not as simple as you think. If she is really the maid of Qingqiu Patriarch, then the current situation will be very troublesome. If she really wants to help Shi Chun, I'm afraid even we can't act rashly."

Lou Xiu hesitated and said, "Sir, that's not the case. If she insists on getting involved in other people's affairs, what should others do? The Qingqiu Patriarch can't be unreasonable. The world is not yet at the point where the Qingqiu Patriarch has the final say."

Huang Ye snorted, "Do you know who is behind the Qingqiu Patriarch?"

Lou Xiu was startled, and said doubtfully, "I heard that the old demon is unruly, bloodthirsty, and moody. Can he be controlled by others?"

Huang Ye looked into the distance and said leisurely, "The one in the land of exile."

Lou Xiu was shocked. "Prison Master?"

Huang Ye, with his hands behind his back, left the window and paced around the room, saying, "The domain lords who command various domains have the same pronunciation in their titles, which can easily confuse people. That's why some people who tease him nicknamed him 'jail boss'. Do you think it's a coincidence that the Qingqiu Patriarch is sleeping in the God's Tomb and the jail boss is also confining himself in the Prison of Life? In short, it was the result of a compromise when the world was in chaos and all forces agreed to a ceasefire."

One of them turned back, stared at Lou Xiu and said, "If we really provoke that old monster from Qingqiu, by the time everyone is alarmed and sits down to reason, God knows how many people will have died. He has a powerful backer behind him, so what if he is right, and what if he is not right?"

Lou Xiu was speechless. Thinking about it, it was true. Everyone had to consider the consequences. He couldn't help but hesitate and said, "Then can we just let it go?"

Huang Ye continued pacing and said, "There is no need for us to investigate, just let Yin Xu prove his innocence."

Lou Xiu cupped his hands, "Please let me know, sir."

Huang Ye: "No matter if it was Yin Xu who helped to send them out, throw all the dirty water on her. Let the news spread to Jihuo Sect and say that it was Yin Xu who sent the two out. In this matter, the Western Emperor made a promise to Jihuo Sect. After Jihuo Sect knows about it, they will definitely find the Western Emperor, and the Western Emperor will definitely find out what happened so as to give Jihuo Sect an explanation. And the matter of the maid of Qingqiu Patriarch, how can the Western Emperor not find Yin Xu to clarify? We can just wait for the result." Lou Xiu's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands and flattered again, "Your Excellency is wise."

After putting his hand down, he asked again, "Have you figured out what's going on in Dazhi City?"

Huang Ye: "It was still the Jihuo Sect who did it. The Jihuo Sect discovered three of Master Chunmingshan's men in Dazhi City. The huge fighting must have been caused by a conflict during the pursuit. The specific situation is unknown. All the pursuers from the Jihuo Sect have disappeared. They must be finished.

The Jihuo Sect's broken fifth-grade magic weapon was indeed lost, which means that an opponent at the Celestial Realm took action. It is not known whether it was a third-party force that intervened, or whether it was Shi Chun's helpers. There is a suspicion that the Bai family intervened, but the Bai family only has one Celestial Realm expert, and that person was on the mountain when the incident happened."

A master of the Celestial Realm? Lou Xiu was terrified at the thought, but he also started to wonder, "Shi Chun still has people in Dazhicheng? Sir, could it be Shi Chun and his people who were behind the incident with Huang Yingying in Dazhicheng?"

Huang Ye: "That is not important anymore. The most important thing is whether Shi Chun and his men left before the exit of Juku Island was blocked. However, judging from the time, his three subordinates should not have had enough time to escape. The current situation is a bit confusing, and it has directly escalated to the level of a fight between masters of the celestial realm. The above means to act with caution."

Wu Jinliang, who was also on the sacred mountain, was relatively comfortable. Although he was hiding in the "boudoir" and dared not come out to see outsiders, he still had basic freedom.

He had no awareness of being under house arrest, and claimed that he was interested in learning about cultivation, so he pestered Grandma Qi to learn from him.

With Grandma Qi's status and position, there was no way she would touch him, so naturally she refused.

But Big Wu is so shameless that he acts like he will die of hunger and thirst if you don’t give it to me.

As a last resort, Grandma Qi asked the tribesmen to play with him.

Chu Jingtang, Lao Changtai and Xiao Sheng sat in the corner of the practice room, watching Wu Jinliang playing with boredom.

They had long discovered that Wu Jinliang had a habit of liking to compete with others, and everyone in the Mingshan Sect had tried to spar with him.

Anyway, I can't get out or run away. I'm free here anyway, so I might as well just watch.

Bang! Wu Jinliang, who had been knocked to the ground, turned over and stood up again. He suddenly waved his hands and said, "No more fighting, no more fighting, let's take a break."

The man from the Bai family who was fighting with him looked at Wu Jinliang with surprise. He found that Wu Jinliang was very resistant to attacks. Logically, the force of his attack should be enough to injure someone at a high martial arts level, but this man could get up as if nothing had happened after being knocked down many times.

Since this guy is tall, can he also have thick skin?

And there was also an incredible request, asking him to use various different moves to hit him.

This was the first time he had seen such an outrageous request, and he began to wonder if Wu Jinliang was a masochist.

Wu Jinliang, who requested a pause, did not hide from others. He took out the mother-child talisman and hid aside to check. It was the news from Shi Chun.

After reading the news, Wu Jinliang grinned and turned around and shouted, "I want to see your grandma."

At this time, Grandma Qi was meeting a guest, or rather, a guest, Bai Qiru who had been kicked out of the house.

Seeing such a big commotion outside the city, the two shop assistants saying they would not return to the rice shop, and the people had already been rescued, she guessed that it was her grandmother who took action personally.

This made her realize that something was wrong. Things didn't seem to be as her grandmother said. She came here today to get an explanation.

She wanted to repay him with her whole life, but the reality seemed not to be so.

She also had someone she loved, but she gave him up to repay her tribe. How could she not give an explanation?

Looking at her granddaughter kneeling stubbornly in front of her, Grandma Qi was silent for a long time. Finally, she walked to the door and told the people outside to step back and not allow anyone to approach.

After the scene was cleared, she walked over to Bai Qiru and sat down, then asked softly, "Girl, have you heard of 'Wuyang Palace'?"

Bai Qiru, who was kneeling with his head bowed, was slightly startled. He slowly raised his head and tried to reply: "Is it the mysterious place where the empress was born?"

"Stand up and talk." Grandma Qi extended her hand to support him, and said with a rather helpless look: "'Wuyang Palace' was first discovered by a group of people. There are six strange books in 'Wuyang Palace', or six realms of strange books. After that group of people entered, six people got opportunities. Among them was Huang Yingying's ancestor Jin Zhan, who got the demon book among the six books, named 'Northern Dipper Demon Book'. Among them was the one who later became the Demon Ancestor and killed Jin Zhan, and he got the demon book."
