At night, at the gate of the camp of Judgment Army at the foot of Ping Mountain …
After hearing the clear and rapid hoofbeats in the dark, the two sentries of Judgment Army at the gate of the camp instantly turned around and watched the street in the dark with vigilant looks.
Galloping was forbidden in Shangjing City unless it was an emergency.
Additionally, as it was so late, the hoofbeats were obviously coming from the gate of the camp of Judgment Army. Therefore, the two sentries of Judgment Army at the gate had to be alert.
The sound of horse hoofs drew closer. In the blink of an eye, the two sentries at the gate of the camp saw a person on a black horse rushing out of the street and heading straight for the gate of the camp of Judgement Army.
"Stop …" One of the sentries raised his hand and warned the knight who was rushing towards him.
The horse was as wild as a dragon while the man was as fierce as a tiger. When the horse rushed to the gate of the camp of Judgment Army, it neighed as it almost stood up at once. At the same time, the rider had already jumped off the back of the horse. After that, the horse turned around and entered a black smoke before being recalled back to the secret mandala.
In the air, Xia Pingan had already taken out the envoy inspector's waist token. When the eyes of the two Judgement Army soldiers lit up, he didn't stop moving. He just tapped the ground outside the camp and flew into the Judgement Army's Ping Mountain Camp.
With the waist token of the envoy inspector, Zhang Tie could enter the camp of Ping Mountain as smoothly as returning to his hometown.
Not until Xia Pingan disappeared at the gate of the camp did the two sentries of Judgment Army turn around and throw a glance at his back.
"Is he Xia Pingan, the envoy inspector of Donggang?" One of the sentries asked.
"He should be. I saw him last time when he came to the camp!"
"It's said that he's very popular. Soon after he became the envoy inspector, he had already been known by all the people across Shangjing City …" The sentries said with admiration.
"That's because he's capable. He even dared break into the Governor's Mansion to arrest people. It's said that even the garrison corps suffered a setback in front of him. To be honest, I admire him very much. If there's a chance in the future, why not train in the Supervision Department? It's much more comfortable than in this camp …"
"It seems that he has something urgent to deal with."
"Hmm, maybe …"
…
After coming to the camp of Judgment Army, Xia Pingan went straight to Lin Yi's courtyard and asked to see Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's attendant brought Xia Pingan to Lin Yi's parlor. After waiting for a while, Xia Pingan saw Lin Yi, who was wearing a long robe, striding in.
"It's already so late. What's the matter?" Lin Yi naturally knew that Xia Pingan wouldn't come to the Three Treasures Palace without a reason. He immediately asked directly.
"Commander, didn't you say that if I had any news about Nightmare, I could come to you directly?"
As soon as he heard Xia Pingan say the word Nightmare, Lin Yi immediately became spirited. During the day, he went to the palace to see the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor asked about the Nightmare, and the Judgement Army was under a lot of pressure.
One Dream Demon had already disturbed the peace of Shangjing City. No one knew where Dream Demon was going to cause trouble the next time.
"You have news of Judgment Army of Judgment Army?" Lin Yi asked directly.
"I just received a message from that person. He said that he had caught some traces of Judgment Army of Judgment Army of Judgment Army, but …" Xia Pingan deliberately left something unsaid.
"But what?" Lin Yi asked.
"But that person said that the Dream Demon's whereabouts were strange and he was extremely careful. He was constantly changing his identity. Furthermore, the Dream Demon would only stay in one place for a short period of time. That person sent me a message, and I sent it to the Judgement Army. If the Judgement Army mobilized people to ambush him, the process would take too long. It would be very difficult to catch the Dream Demon.
Lin Yi frowned slightly. "How does that person usually contact you?"
"I don't know how he contacts me. Usually, he's the one who looks for me. I can't find him at all. When he looks for me, no matter where I am, I can hear his voice in my ears. He can also hear what I say. I don't know how he does it. Maybe it's some kind of secret method!"
"Can that person hold Judgment Army of Judgment Army of Judgment Army?"
"I told him before that as long as he can hold or capture Judgment Army of Judgment army, he can ask for anything. Judgment army will give him a very generous reward, but that person refused. He said that he will only provide me with information, but he won't personally deal with Blood Demon Church. Oh right, he just told me that Blood Demon Church has buried a bigger bomb in Shangjing city that hasn't been discovered by Judgment army. The bomb of Blood Demon Church is going to explode and shake the whole Shang Kingdom. Judgment Army of Judgment army is just a pawn of Blood Demon Church in Shangjing city!"
Lin Yi's eyes flashed and his eyebrows raised. "Blood Demon Church has a bigger bomb in Shangjing city that hasn't been discovered by us? Did that person really say that? "
"Yes, that's what he told me. Because of the importance of this matter, I came to see you in the middle of the night!"
"In your opinion, how should we deal with this matter?"
"I'm just a small Envoy Inspector. For such a big matter, I will naturally listen to your arrangement!" Xia Pingan lowered his eyes and looked honest.
Lin Yi stared at Xia Pingan's face. "Are you afraid of death?"
"Of course, I'm afraid. But if it's my duty, I won't hesitate to go through water and tread on fire!"
"Very good!" Lin Yi heard and nodded. With his hands behind his back and a serious face, he started to pace in the living room. After pacing a few rounds, he clapped his hands lightly and a servant appeared in the living room.
"Sir!"
"Ask the Four Shadow Guards and Liu Tieshou to come see me immediately!"
"Yes!" The servant immediately turned around and left.
"Ahem, Sir, I've conveyed that person's message. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!" Xia Pingan looked obedient. Lin Yi wanted to summon other important figures in Judgment army. As a small Envoy Inspector, it seemed a little "inappropriate" for him to stay here, so he took the initiative to take his leave.
"Wait a moment, I'll introduce a few people to you later and arrange things for you!" As Lin Yi spoke, he clapped his hands lightly again and a servant served tea. Lin Yi asked Xia Pingan to sit at the side. "This is the Spirit Fog Tea that I drank myself. Try it!"
"Thank you, Sir!"
The two of them drank the tea. Ten minutes later, the five of them were led into the living room by Lin Yi's servant.
Out of the five people, Xia Pingan had met four of them. They were Grandma You, Master Mao Mao, Devil Blade, and the Scholar.
Devil Blade was invisible and had followed Xia Pingan for a period of time. He usually hid in the void and never showed his appearance or body, just like an invisible person. This was Xia Pingan's first time seeing him in person. Devil Blade was wrapped in white cloth and wore a white robe. He was white from head to toe and his fingernails were not even exposed. Only a pair of eyes could be seen through the white cloth wrapped around his face. Even his eyes were white. He gave off a strange demonic aura, just like a mummy.
Grandma You wasn't carrying her flower basket, Master Mao Mao wasn't holding a fishing rod, and the Scholar wasn't holding a pen. The three of them looked very serious.
Liu Tie was tall and had a long beard on his face. There were two sabers, one long and one short, on his waist. He was also wearing iron gloves, which were usually worn by the Judgement Army. He was as silent as thunder, but his body was full of murderous intent.
"Greetings, Commander!" The five of them saluted Lin Yi at the same time. Their eyes unconsciously glanced at Xia Pingan, who was standing obediently at the side.
"This is Xia Pingan, the Donggang Inspector!" Lin Yi didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, introducing Xia Pingan to the five of them. "Xia Pingan was also a member of the Shadow Squad. Perhaps you have heard of this name before, but there is one more thing that you may not know. From the time the Crown Prince was assassinated to the killing of the Four Demons, all the important information about the Blood Demon Church in Shang Jing City came from him. Without him, the Blood Demon Church might still be doing whatever they want in Shang Jing City, and the Four Demons wouldn't have been killed!"
Hearing Lin Yi's words, the five of them looked at Xia Pingan differently, with a hint of surprise.
How did Xia Pingan manage to locate the whereabouts of the Four Demons and know about the Blood Demon Church's plot to assassinate the Crown Prince?
"Now that the Four Demons have been killed, only Dream Demon is still wreaking havoc in Shang Jing City. Dream Demon is cunning and elusive, so he is very difficult to deal with. Moreover, Dream Demon and the Blood Demon Church may still be hiding many remnants in Shang Jing City. This time, the Shadow Squad wants to kill Dream Demon and further eliminate the remnants of the Blood Demon Church in Shang Jing City, so we have to take extreme measures. We must succeed in one blow and not let Dream Demon and the remnants escape.
Therefore, I have summoned you five people, "Lin Yi glanced at the faces of the five people with a serious look." From now on, until Dream Demon is killed, the five of you will be under the command of Xia Pingan. As long as the location of the operation doesn't involve the Imperial City, you can act freely. If the location involves the Imperial City, you have to report to me and get my permission to act! Is there a problem? "
The five of them looked at Xia Pingan again and bowed to Lin Yi. "Yes, sir!"
As long as the location of the operation didn't involve the Imperial City, it was impossible to cause a big mess. Moreover, the five of them were veterans of the Judgment Army and the Shadow Squad. Xia Pingan couldn't possibly command them to do anything illegal. Lin Yi was very confident in the abilities of the five people.
However, Xia Pingan's face was full of fear. He quickly bowed to Lin Yi and said, "Your Excellency, this can't be done. The five of them are my seniors, and their cultivation experience is ten times better than mine. How can I dare to command the five seniors to do things? Your Excellency, please take back your order!"
Hearing Xia Pingan's words, the five people looked at Xia Pingan with a gentler look. They thought that this kid was sensible.
Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "I've made up my mind. You don't have to say anymore. If you want to deal with extraordinary people, you can only use extraordinary means. From now on, I officially authorize you. As long as you get information about Dream Demon, you don't have to ask for my permission. You can immediately command them to kill Dream Demon and the remaining members of the Blood Demon Church. The five of them are veterans of the Shadow Squad. They know the severity of the matter and will definitely cooperate with you!"
"Then … alright!" Xia Pingan nodded.
