This Yu Wen was also a Samsara traveler!
Not only was he a Samsara traveler, but he was also a member of the Blood Pact!
"I heard Elder Song say that the Alliance Leader had summoned the elders to do something big. Perhaps it is also involved in reality, but we haven't contacted each other for a long time …"
Yu Wen walked out of the office and immediately felt uneasy. "Could it be that something went wrong?"
Although he trusted the strength of the Blood Pact, he was even more uncertain about the mission of the main divine hall.
If a Yellow Grade and above appeared, it would be extremely difficult to survive. Then, it was possible that the Blood Slaughter Alliance would suffer huge losses.
Compared to the disaster of the military town, this was clearly more worrying for him. Cold sweat seeped out of his forehead. Recently, he was so anxious that he didn't even want to go to the room of his new concubine.
"Yu Wen?"
Not far away, Wu Ming lifted the curtain of the carriage, and his eyes flashed. "An ordinary member of the Blood Pact, now a civil official under the Dingzhou Provincial Governor. He is quite trusted!"
Based on this information, as well as Gongshu Zhe's body and voice, Wu Ming had no doubt that as long as he pretended to be Gongshu Zhe, Yu Wen would have no choice but to bow down to him.
"This is only the most ordinary chess piece of the Blood Pact … the real big fish is actually … Qi Lin!"
Wu Ming put down the curtain of the carriage and sighed. "Unfortunately … the hidden danger has not been eliminated, so I can't make a move!"
The military governor of Pingshan County, Qi Lin, was rumored to be brave and powerful. He was skilled in archery and horses, and had good command of troops. He had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. He was brave and could fight, and was known as the ruler of Dingzhou. He had even fought with the old Marquis several times, with both winning and losing.
Looking at Qi Lin, his Qi was majestic like a cloud and formed the shape of a Qilin. It was no small matter.
Such a military governor was actually a Samsara traveler, and had even entered the Blood Pact!
"With this information, I can order him to be subordinate to Wu Zhi, and then work together to annex Dingyuan County. After I get four out of the seven counties, Wu Zhi doesn't need to slowly accumulate and can immediately conquer Dingzhou. Unfortunately …"
It was a good idea, but Wu Ming knew that he couldn't do it!
It was not just Yu Wen and Qi Lin. In Dingzhou, there was another person suspected to have authority that he could not kill.
"After all … as the mastermind behind the Blood Pact, the Main God definitely has a copy of this list! If I were to make a move, I would be exposing my position for nothing! "
"Even a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its nest … After passing Jiude County this time, I'll stop by the prefecture city to take a look. After that, I'll leave the prefecture city for a long journey. The world is so big, where can't I go? Moreover, we can still carry out the plan … "
Members of the Blood Pact and those with authority were not limited to Dingzhou.
Wu Ming's plan this time was to go on a long journey. It didn't matter even if he had to go through all nineteen states in the Dazhou. He wouldn't stop until he found traces of the Chief God.
"Even if we can't discover it, we have to try our best to grasp the authority in our hands. This is the general trend of one's decline and the other's rise. It's a matter of life and death! We have to be careful! "
Wu Ming thought to himself. Then, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
"Alrighty!"
The driver in front didn't know why Wu Ming wanted to stop here. However, he was being paid to do things. He just thought that Wu Ming liked to tour the sights of Dingzhou. He cracked his whip and the carriage slowly started moving again.
"Hmm? I felt my heart palpitate just now. Why is there nothing strange now? "
At the same time, Yu Wen wiped away his cold sweat. His face was ashen and carried a glimmer of lingering fear. He suspiciously looked around but didn't find anything. He could only turn back with a shaky voice.
…
"I've seen a few places. It's more or less the same as what I saw when I split my consciousness. It looks like the possibility of the Chief God hiding in Dingzhou is very small …"
This was common sense. Otherwise, if they ran into Dingzhou for everything in the Dazhou 19 provinces, it would be a bit too terrifying.
"I've seen the Prefecture Overseer and the Provincial Governor's Residence. They're all gloomy and weak. The Great Zhou's 300 Heavenly Lives are indeed at their weakest. The time for a revolution has arrived …"
As a participant in history, Wu Ming knew better than any historian about the history between the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. He also knew that the 300 years of the Dazhou Kingdom was the mandate of heaven and could not be changed.
"Perhaps … it's not impossible. However, defying the heavens and changing fate for an individual is already greatly feared by the heavens. Defying the heavens and changing fate for an entire dynasty? Unless a sky immortal or someone with supernatural powers above sky immortal takes action, it is impossible. If an earth immortal had the chance, Yuqing would have done it a long time ago. "
"Sir, we have arrived at the supervisory office of the Sili Officer!"
At this time, the carriage stopped again. The driver's voice drifted in.
Basically, these three manors and some famous sights were all must-see places for people coming to Dingzhou for the first time. He was no longer surprised.
"Hmm?"
Wu Ming lifted the curtain slightly and saw a solemn manor. There were soldiers standing guard on both sides. The people entering and leaving all had stern expressions and carried a hint of coldness.
"The Sili Officer is personally appointed by the court. He can secretly report to the Emperor. Although his rank is the lowest of the three, he has great power. He can hear rumors and even supervise financial and military power!"
Wu Ming's expression was slightly serious.
In a province, the magistrate's rank was naturally the highest. Below him was the provincial governor, followed by the chief officials of each department, and finally the Sili Officer. However, no one dared to slight him.
This position had great power and flexibility. He could even directly move a guard, as long as he reported to the governor afterward.
Thus, even the magistrate had to show some respect. This fully embodied the essence of the Dazhou Kingdom's ruling style of "using the small to control the big."
"But at the end of the dynasty, no matter how much we fix the system, what use is there?"
Wu Ming smiled slightly. After waiting for a moment, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in black walk out of the yamen. The guards on both sides bowed and called him "Qianhu."
"He's out! The court's Qianhu Li Zongyi of the Strange News Division! "
As early as in the World of Gods and Ghosts, Wu Ming had obtained a waist token of the Anomaly News Division from the unlucky Zheng Jun.
Now, he knew that the Abnormality Information Division was indeed set up by the court and was under the jurisdiction of the Sili Officer of each province. Its responsibility was to track down the Reincarnators of the Main Divine Temple.
After all, the Main Divine Temple had existed for such a long time. There had to be some clues. If even the Xie family could find something wrong, there was no reason the court couldn't.
After confirming it, naturally, they would investigate. Whether to rope them in or use them would depend on the situation.
"It's just that the Abnormality Information Division in Dingzhou is a bit unlucky. From top to bottom, they've all been infiltrated by the Reincarnators. Zheng Jun actually managed to infiltrate the enemy's ranks. He's a talent!"
As he thought to himself, Wu Ming naturally wouldn't order the carriage to follow. That would be too eye-catching.
Instead, he strolled around and got off in front of a restaurant to pay the fare.
"Sir, please come in!"
As soon as he got off the carriage, a waiter immediately came to greet him with a face full of smiles. "Sir, you must be tired from your journey. What would you like to eat? Our Juyuan Restaurant's chef is second to none in Dingzhou. Our signature dishes are Mandarin Duck Gathering, Hundred Treasures Restaurant, and the silver fish from Luoshui. It's truly the best in the world. Every year, there are tributes … "
…
That night, after eating and drinking to his heart's content, Wu Ming booked a superior room and hung up a wooden "do not disturb" sign. Only then did he slowly jump out of the window and secretly make his way toward Li Zongyi.
He was a martial arts grandmaster. Using the corner of the street to hide himself, normal patrolling soldiers wouldn't be able to find him.
He had already investigated earlier and arrived at a courtyard. The courtyard was cold and quiet. Only the occasional barking of a dog could be heard.
Mastiffs were psychic and could ward off evil. Some large families raised a large number of mastiffs to patrol at night. They were more dedicated than guards and could also suppress filth.
Wu Ming jumped over the wall and spread out a bit of his Qi. Immediately, the mastiffs moved. In the darkness, several pairs of green eyes approached. Some looked like they were about to pounce, while others were about to howl.
"If I were to fall into your hands, I would lose all my face!"
A light flashed in Wu Ming's eyes. Under the pressure of an invisible wave, the mastiffs all ran away with their tails between their legs as if they were avoiding a snake or a scorpion.
Even large families rarely turned on their lights at night. At this time, Wu Ming looked around and determined the location of Li Zongyi's study. He stealthily sneaked over.
"Good heavens, they actually use luminous pearls for light. The level of luxury here is even higher than in the county. I wonder where they got so much money …"
Through the paper window, a layer of fluorescent light came out. It was actually a luminous pearl the size of a longan fruit!
"I heard that the residences of the Prefecture Overseer, the Provincial Governor, and the Commandant of the Sili use Daoist artifacts that can be as bright as day and never extinguish. Furthermore, the Ten Li Sleepless Street in the imperial capital is even more famous … It's just that it's too extravagant. Hundreds of officials are competing to enjoy it. This is also a sign of the end of the era …"
With luminous pearls for light, even though it could not compare to Daoist artifacts, it was naturally much better than ordinary oil lamps and candles.
Wu Ming glanced around and saw that it was a study. Li Zongyi was reading a dossier and had yet to sleep.
"Hehe … it's not in vain that I've been paying attention for so long. Finally, I've found some clues!"
Li Zongyi's expression was rather excited. He picked up a red pen and annotated. At the end of the dossier, there were two large words — "Xie Family"!
"I heard that the Xie Family's twin pearls died for no reason and even reported that they died of illness. That Xie Xiaodi even asked someone to read the dossier … but she didn't know that her actions would definitely leave traces. How could she hide from my discerning eyes?"
Li Zongyi had an aquiline nose and long, narrow eyes that seemed to emit a green glow. His entire face was cold and had a sense of meticulousness.
After reading the dossier, he made a resolute conclusion. "This Xie Family … is definitely related to the Imperial Court's investigation. As a Qianhu of the Anomaly News Division, I've made a great contribution this time!"
The appearance of Reincarnators could no longer be investigated. However, just the traces that had been revealed were already shocking.
With this in mind, the Anomaly News Division had been established during the time of the previous Emperors of the Dazhou Dynasty to monitor the world. There seemed to be some other force behind it.
In any case, Li Zongyi only knew one thing. Even though the world was in chaos, the investigation of these missions by the higher-ups was still increasing. This did not seem like something that the Imperial Court would do.
However, he knew the severity of the matter and conscientiously did his duty. Everything else was a taboo.
However, this time, he had discovered traces of the Reincarnators of the Xie Family. This was indeed a great contribution.
