Chapter 571

[Two: Alright, I'll do Number Three a favor. I'll keep an eye out for you. I still have some influence in Yunzhou. It's not difficult to find someone. As long as Zhou Chixiong is in Yunzhou, I'll be able to find him.]

How arrogant. Xu Qi 'an was even more certain that Number Two was not from the imperial court. There were two reasons. First, she cursed the Yuanjing Emperor every day.

Second, Yunzhou was plagued by bandits. There were refugees everywhere, and the government was in decline. If Number Two was from the imperial court, she wouldn't dare to make such a guarantee.

Hiss … She wasn't from the government, but she was passionate about suppressing bandits every day. Number Two was a chivalrous person.

[One: Sure.]

The deal was made, and the conflict was resolved.

Everyone in the Heaven & Earth Society heaved a sigh of relief. Number Three was indeed a scholar. She was very capable. If it were any other time, Number One and Number Two might have fought.

The Jinlian Taoist priest had made a good move by pulling Number Three into the Heaven & Earth Society.

After Number Three joined the Heaven & Earth Society, the Book of the Underworld became more frequent and active. Everyone began to exchange information more frequently.

For everyone, this was a delightful sight.

[Four: Why would the demons covet the sealed artifact under Sampo? Yes, it should be the northern demons. Historically, Daibun and the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom of Southern Border have no conflict.]

The northern demons and Daibun were like fire and water, while the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom of Southern Border and the Buddhists of the Western Regions were irreconcilable.

According to Boss, the northern tribes and the northern demons have been harassing the borders in recent years. It seems that there are signs of war again. In that case, it makes sense that the northern demons are secretly causing trouble in the capital … Xu Qi 'an's heart sank.

[Five: So, what exactly is sealed under Sampo that the northern demons have been plotting for so long?]

Girl, do you have a lot of question marks? I can't answer you because I want to know too … Xu Qi 'an lampooned in his heart.

[Nine: No matter what, it's definitely something that will make the Daibun royal family anxious. I hope it doesn't affect ordinary people in the capital.]

Xu Qi 'an took the opportunity to send a message. [Celestial Commissioner Supervisor is sick. What do you think? Yunlu Academy received secret information. there is indeed a formation at the bottom of Sampo. I think it's the work of the Celestial Commissioner.]

[Two: It's fake. How can a first-grade master get sick?]

[Number Two: It's not.

[Five: Hmm, a first-grade master is an existence that stands at the peak of the world. It's impossible for them to fall sick, let alone the Warlock System.]

The first-grade master grade master.

Number Four also expressed her opinion. [Judging from the supervisor's attitude, he probably doesn't want to participate in this matter.]

Number Four was a smart person, because his thoughts were more or less the same as mine … The supervisor didn't want to participate in this matter … What was with this ambiguous attitude? Wasn't he supposed to be protecting the capital?

Qi 'an end for it for one.

[One: I can pay off part of the debt now. The information about Sampo might not be valuable. Number Three, do you want to hear it?]

Not valuable, but to pay off the debt … Number One, you're going overboard. You're trying to take advantage of me?

Xu Qi 'an was angry. He was at a disadvantage in this deal. However, he really needed information about Sampo.

Since Baihu Zhou was a dead end, he had to find a new breakthrough.

Xu Qi 'an replied with an indifferent attitude, "I'll listen to it."

[One: I've checked the files about Sampo and found a very obvious time point. Maybe the thing sealed under Sampo is related to this.]

Number One paused and sent a message. [Five hundred years!]

[One: About five hundred years ago, the Crown Prince fell into the water when he was visiting the lake in Sampo. He went insane and drowned in Sampo not long after. However, there was another big event 500 years ago. There were only a few words about it in the history books. Everyone in the imperial court kept it a secret.

[I believe Number Three must have remembered it.]

I didn't, I didn't remember anything … No, I haven't even read the history books!

Xu Qi 'an was annoyed that there was no Baidu in this world. Otherwise, everything could be solved with a little help. Clothing, food, housing, transportation, and so on. Including sickness … Hmm, maybe a little help. See you in the next life!

Oh right, look for Ci Jiu. Ci Jiu was well-read in the history books. He was a genius.

As Xu Qi 'an's face and voice appeared in his mind, he was pleasantly surprised to see Number Four answer: [Usurp the throne?!]

Seeing this, Xu Qi 'an was relieved because he knew someone else would ask for him. Other than Number Four and Number One, everyone else in the group was a slacker who hadn't even completed nine years of compulsory education.

[Two: Usurp the throne?]

[Five: Usurp the throne?]

[Four: Five hundred years ago, there was a rebellion in the Daibun royal family. The leader of the rebellion was the King of the Pacifying Seas, who was later known as Emperor Wu Zong. Although Wu Zong had been purging the emperor's side to cover up the fact that he had usurped the throne, it was not a glorious thing. Later historians only dared to write: In the year of the fall of the heavens, demons were born. Wu Zong rose in the east and quelled the chaos!

[The current Daibun royal family are all descendants of Wu Zong.]

[Five: What does this have to do with Sampo?]

This girl was indeed not very smart …

[Two: Number One suspects that the sealed artifact suppressed in the Yongzhen Temple of Mountains and Rivers is related to the royal family from five hundred years ago?]

[One: Don't you think it's strange? Why did the Supervisor pretend to be sick?]

There was an important person from the royal family sealed under Sampo … It involved the usurpation of the throne, which was a taboo that the royal family was unwilling to mention. Therefore, only the Yuanjing Emperor knew about it … Then, the death of the Crown Prince five hundred years ago was definitely not a coincidence. Was it revenge?

Because he was also a member of the royal family, it was considered a family matter, so the Supervisor deliberately pretended to be sick and didn't want to get involved?

Did the northern demons do this to make the capital of Daibun fall into chaos, or even cause unrest in the imperial court, so that they could take the opportunity to play tricks in the north?

Xu Qi'an took a deep breath and couldn't help but straighten his back. The waters of the Sampo Case were deeper than he had imagined.

'I better f * cking run. I feel that the risk of running is lower than the risk of participating in this case.'

Xu Qi'an was terrified.

[Three: That's right, I forgot something. There are some characters engraved on the seal under Sampo. They are very interesting. I think I should share them with you. Yes, it's free of charge.]

He didn't ask questions like "Everyone knows what these characters are." That would be too stupid.

What if these were ancient characters? Wouldn't that expose his low level of education? Then, he wouldn't be able to keep his identity as a member of Yunlu Academy.

Therefore, Xu Qi'an wrote two distorted characters on the surface of the small jade mirror: [Three: Two distorted characters.]

[Nine: These are Buddhist characters.]

Buddhist characters? Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment.

[Five: Why would Buddhist characters appear in the seal of Sampo?]

Was it a good thing to have a member with a low IQ in the group? Xu Qi 'an smiled and waited for the leader to give an explanation.

[Four: Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. The royal family wouldn't allow Buddhists to participate in such a secretive matter.]

The others expressed their confusion.

After waiting for a long time, no one spoke. Everyone had their own guesses.

Xu Qi'an asked: [I haven't seen Number Six speak recently.]

[Nine: Yes, Number Six seems to have run into some trouble. He has left the health hall in the east of the city for many days. I will be responsible for finding him.]

Why is this baldy always running into trouble … Xu Qi'an complained. He waited for the time it took for a joss stick to burn before he confirmed that the group members had all gone offline.

I have to talk when I'm offline, you bunch of uncultured people.

…

After blowing out the oil lamp, Xu Qi'an lay on the bed with the small jade mirror under his pillow. He stared at the dark ceiling and let his thoughts ferment.

If the person sealed under Sampo is a powerhouse from the former royal family, then things will be troublesome. I'll definitely be beheaded for knowing such a secret … No, if the other party openly causes trouble and announces their identity, I won't be afraid of being silenced by the Yuanjing Emperor.

Wei Yuan said that the task of tracking the Sealed Artifact will be handled by others. I don't have to interfere. My task should be to find the spy in the Sampo Case … But Baihu Zhou has escaped. This clue is gone. I can only pin my hopes on Number Two.

"No, that's not right!" In the darkness, Xu Qi'an's eyes suddenly lit up. He had overlooked something.

During the day, he had discussed the case with the Lü Qing in the meeting hall. The conclusion was that it was impossible for the nine missing people to sneak the gunpowder into Yongzhen Mountain River Temple.

And Baihu Zhou was a Guardian of Golden Insignia. The Guardian of Golden Insignia was only responsible for guarding the temple and not for the ancestral worship ceremony. In other words, he had no chance of entering Yongzhen Mountain River Temple.

Baihu Zhou was not the mastermind. Baihu Zhou of the Golden Insignia was only a part of the case. He was responsible for sending the gunpowder into the palace. The others were responsible for hiding the gunpowder in Yongzhen Mountain River Temple.

There was a mastermind of a higher level behind him.

The mastermind worked with the demons to lead the Sampo Case and release the Sealed Artifact in Yongzhen Mountain River Temple.

My real task is to find this mastermind!

Xu Qi'an sat up and clenched his fists in excitement.
