Xu Tangran and the others then came over and asked in a low voice, "Sir, why is the Cold Magistrate here?"
Miao Yi looked back at them. He knew that if he didn't say anything, he would make them worry. He said casually, "I don't know why, but he asked about me and the Blood Demon back then."
"Blood Demon?" They frowned and muttered. They didn't know what was going on.
Miao Yi changed the topic. "The local people will be sending people over to take over in the next few days. Everyone, confirm with the Ten Eagle Flags and prepare for the handover as soon as possible."
"Yes!" They accepted the order.
Gao Guan wasn't the only one looking for Miao Yi. Xiahou Longcheng, who was soaking in a mountain spring in a remote mountain, also received a message from his father.
He was soaking in the spring with the Star Bell in his hand. After listening to his father's question, the resentful Xiahou Longcheng said, 'I did deal with the Blood Demon with Niu Youde. What about it?'
Father Xia asked, 'Was there a monk with the Blood Demon?'
Xiahou Longcheng thought, 'She was alone. I didn't see any monk with her. Right, what about the Blood Demon and Huangfu Jun? They have a good relationship with Y. Maybe they are from the Great Ensemble. When the Blood Demon fell into my hands, was it Huangfu Jun? Y came to rescue him. ' Father, why are you asking?
Father Xia thought, 'Nothing. I'm just asking.' Tell me how you and Niu Youde dealt with the Blood Demon.
It had been a long time. Xiahou Longcheng was a bit careless and didn't care about the Blood Demon. He told the story based on his memory and asked, 'Father, aren't you going to ask me how I am now?'
Father Xia only cared about the relationship between the Blood Demon and his son. As for the rest, he replied, 'Let's talk about it later.'
Xiahou Longcheng was speechless. He punched the water with the Star Bell and cried out, "Oh my god!"
Thinking back to when he was the Great Commander of Heaven's Street, it was a glorious time. Not to mention beautiful women, even eating and drinking were a problem. This spring was the only place with good Feng Shui within a radius of thousands of miles. The surroundings were desolate and he only had two plots of land, both of which were old men. He didn't even have anyone to talk to.
However, speaking of the Blood Demon, Xiahou Longcheng thought of Niu Youde again. Back then, the two of them had worked together to do this. Other than looking at the sky and the earth, there was really nothing else to do here. They were bored. He then took out another Starbell and contacted Miao Yi. He wanted to ask how he was doing and drag Miao Yi over to accompany him to relieve his boredom.
From another perspective, he was a complete failure as a person. Come to think of it, other than Miao Yi, he, a descendant of House Xiahou, didn't even have a single friend.
At this time, Miao Yi was patrolling the Ten Eagle Flags when he suddenly received a message from Xiahou Longcheng. He couldn't help but be curious, 'Brother Xiahou, why did you want to chat with me?
Xiahou Longcheng: "Just now, my father suddenly asked me about how we dealt with the Blood Demon. Speaking of you has evoked my longing for Brother Niu. Brother Niu, when are you free, come over to my place to play.
Miao Yi didn't think much of it. There was nothing wrong with the two of them working together to deal with the Blood Demon. Just as he was about to ring the star bell and say a few perfunctory words, his hand suddenly froze. His expression changed as he suddenly recalled something — Ba Jie had seen Xiahou Long Cheng before!
When Ba Jie first came to the outside world. Because of Xiahou Longcheng's unreasonable pestering, he was once captured by Xiahou Longcheng. Later, in order to get him away, Ba Jie pretended to be someone from the Western Paradise Realm to save him. Ba Jie even told Xiahou Longcheng his Dharma name. If Xiahou Longcheng hadn't suddenly brought up the matter of the Blood Demon … He almost forgot about it.
Thinking of this, Miao Yi almost broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately found a secluded place, rang the star bell, and asked, "What did your father ask?"
Xiahou Longcheng: "He just asked about how we worked together to deal with the Blood Demon."
Miao Yi thought for a moment, then told him, "The Supervising Envoy of the Right, Gao Guan, also came to me to ask about the Blood Demon."
Xiahou Longcheng was shocked, "That Cold Magistrate also came to you? Why did a little demon alarm him? "
Miao Yi: "Why do I feel like something is wrong, Brother Xiahou? Tell me all the details of your father's questions, and I'll compare them and see if there's anything wrong with them.
Under Miao Yi's indirect questioning, Xiahou Longcheng immediately gave a detailed account of the questions and answers he had with his father.
After repeatedly beating around the bush and confirming that Ba Jie wasn't involved, Miao Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Xiahou Longcheng wouldn't be able to handle him slipping away like this. However, he was still worried, so he asked, "Did your father only ask you these questions and nothing else?"
Xiahou Longcheng turned over in the pool and asked, "What else can he ask? Isn't it just these questions? Is there a problem?"
Miao Yi: "Nothing. I was worried that something would happen. It's good that you're fine. By the way, how are you doing now? "
Xiahou Longcheng: "How can I be doing in this remote place? Brother Niu, as a Mountain God, I have a responsibility to protect my territory. I can't run around without receiving orders. When are you coming over? Let's meet up?"
Miao Yi: "I'm trapped now. Let's see. I'll go find you when I can move …"
After sending Xiahou Longcheng away with a bunch of perfunctory words, Miao Yi silently put away the star bell with a solemn expression. He muttered to himself, "I can't let this bear live any longer!"
But who should he look for? The place Xiahou Longcheng was demoted to was very far away from here. He wouldn't be able to reach it within a few months. With his current status, he couldn't leave his post for too long. Should he look for the Skytraversing Palace to make a move? That wouldn't be appropriate. This was a matter of killing a descendant of the Xiahou Family. The Skytraversing Palace might not be willing to do so. It wouldn't be a good thing if the Skytraversing Palace found out about his evil intentions.
Should he look for Jin Man to have the remnants of the Immeasurable Dao make a move? It was hard to tell what those people's intentions were in making him the Divine Lord. If they had ulterior motives, they might find out something they shouldn't know from the bear's mouth … He didn't want to drag Ba Jie into this.
No matter how he thought about it, there was only one person he could rely on. Miao Yi took a deep breath and took out the star bell he used to contact Yan Beihong …
Starry Hall. After Sima Wentian presented a jade archive containing important information to Master Qing, he wanted to say something, but hesitated.
Qing Zhu, who was sitting behind the long table, glanced at him and said, "If you have something to say, say it."
"Understood!" After Sima Wentian acknowledged, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, there's news from Niu Youde. The Emissary of the Right has gone to look for him. I wonder why the Emissary of the Right of the Celestial Court would personally go look for a little Niu Youde."
Master Qing was still wondering what it was, but it turned out to be this. He nodded and said, "Gao Guan is a meticulous man. He's always meticulous when it comes to matters he has his eyes on. It's only natural for him to go look for Niu Youde. Don't think too much about it. There's more to it than meets the eye."
"Understood!" Sima Wentian bowed slightly as he thought to himself, 'It seems His Majesty is hiding something from me.'
In truth, he really didn't know what was going on. Master Qing didn't tell him about the demonic monk Nan Bo. There were some things that Master Qing didn't want too many people to know about. However, Sima Wentian knew that Master Qing had summoned Xiahou Tuo and a few other big shots over a while ago. He was more or less testing the waters by asking this question. Seeing that Master Qing wasn't willing to explain further, Sima Wentian decided to keep quiet.
As it turned out, Gao Guan had arrived. He reported in and greeted Sima Wentian. After exchanging glances, he exchanged a slight nod with Sima Wentian as a form of greeting.
Master Qing asked, "How's the investigation on the Western Paradise coming along?"
'The Western Paradise?' Sima Wentian mumbled to himself. He didn't know what had brought up the Western Paradise again.
Gao Guan replied, "The Western Paradise hasn't found anything related to the two monks yet. However, Sir said that we won't be able to find out the details in such a short period of time. We'll let our subordinates investigate further. In addition, I personally went to Niu Youde's place after I returned to verify in detail. Other than some grudges between Niu Youde and the Blood Demon, he really doesn't have anything to do with this matter. "
Master Qing nodded slightly and asked Sima Wentian, "Does the death of Consort Han's brother have anything to do with the other families?"
Sima Wentian shook his head. "I haven't seen any movements from the other families. However, the person who recommended Consort Han, Lord Wu, is conducting an extensive investigation. Logically speaking, even if he wanted to deal with Consort Han's family, he could've just openly accused them and gotten rid of them. There was no need for him to do it in such a sneaky manner. I'm afraid he really did run into bandits. "
Consort Han was one of Master Qing's concubines. Her brother, Han Mingshan, was ambushed and disappeared along with a few of his followers. It wasn't until the family couldn't contact him that they found out he was dead. Because of this, Consort Han ran to Master Qing and burst into tears. Although Master Qing didn't care about Han Mingshan's death or Consort Han's feelings, this was equivalent to someone slapping him in the face. Naturally, he was furious and asked for a thorough investigation.
Master Qing tilted his head and looked at Gao Guan. "Have you sent people over to investigate?"
Gao Guan replied, "I have. I even went to the scene myself. Han Mingshan came out of the Sky Street Casino. I heard that he won a lot and even did something like throwing money on the street to show off his wealth. Later, he left the Sky Street and got into trouble. After investigation, I also agree with Sima Left Emissary's opinion. He must've been targeted by the bandits … But there's something fishy about it. "
Master Qing asked, "What's fishy about it?"
Gao Guan replied, "I later found an eyewitness. After questioning, the perpetrator used a broadsword and the fighting technique was quite similar …" He was a little hesitant, as if he didn't know whether to say it or not.
Master Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "When did you become hesitant? Say it! Who does it look like? "
Gao Guan paused for a moment and said, "A bit like the Shadow Guards!"
Sima Wentian was shocked when he heard this. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Master Qing. There weren't many people in the entire Heavenly Court who knew about the 'Shadow Guards'. Master Qing controlled a small but extremely powerful group of people. They were Master Qing's secret troops. It could also be said that they were secretly trained by Master Qing. They were directly commanded by Master Qing and specialized in doing shady things. Master Qing never used them easily.
He now understood why Gao Guan was hesitant. Gao Guan was obviously suspecting that this matter was secretly ordered by Master Qing. Otherwise, other than Master Qing, no one else could mobilize the Shadow Guards.
Hearing this, Master Qing slowly stood up and said in a low voice, "Gao Guan, are you suspecting that I did this?"
