"Perfected One, I can't repay your kindness. I'm willing to serve you like an ox or a horse!"
An honest man knelt in front of Jiang Long. Jiang Long had just saved his sick mother, so he couldn't thank him enough.
"There's no need for that. I'm only here to find the culprit. It's fate that I saved your mother." Jiang Longtou was wearing a Violet Sun Scarf and a pure Yang Daoist robe. He had thin eyebrows and a ruddy complexion.
In the past five days, he had already traveled through dozens of villages and towns. He was about to reach Bianliang.
Along the way, he had saved people and guided them to do good. Many Embroidered Uniform Guards had secretly spread the news and made up a bunch of stories about how he had subdued demons. As a result, the name of Daoist Jiu Longzi became extremely famous.
His reputation had spread before he arrived, and he lived up to his name when he arrived.
The people didn't need him to catch ghosts. They could ask for medicine from him, so they believed in Jiang Long's reputation.
First, he didn't take money. Second, he didn't take people. He just did good deeds. In this world, he was called a "living immortal" by countless hardworking people.
The local people were very simple. They would naturally cooperate with such a "living immortal" if he had a small request.
"Perfected One, is there really a demon who harmed people?" someone asked in surprise after hearing Jiang Long's intentions.
Everyone panicked. They didn't expect the pregnant woman to be true. Didn't that mean the rumors were also true?
"Could … could it be that Wang Jiangchen did it?" someone asked.
Jiang Long was speechless. The rumors were so widespread that everyone in Yu Province knew about the zombie king, Jiangchen.
However, some people misunderstood and thought that it was a zombie: Wang Jiangchen.
"Jiangchen's words were just an exaggeration. The murderer is someone else. I'm here to find him," Jiang Long said.
He then told them about how he had subdued the pregnant woman's soul. The villagers immediately whispered to each other.
"Quiet! The Perfected One is here. Why are you still making noise? "the clan elder said angrily.
The imperial power didn't go to the countryside. The clan had the final say. Everyone immediately quieted down.
Jiang Long nodded and asked the clan elder, "Is everyone in the village here?"
"Yes! They're all here! Perfected One, please use the soul to identify the culprit, "the clan elder said expectantly.
Jiang Long immediately stepped onto the spell altar. With a wave of his hand, he lit up three incense sticks.
Amidst the green smoke, Jiang Long picked up the bell and shook it, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
When everyone's attention was focused on him, they suddenly felt that his temperament was extraordinary, like a crane in a flock of chickens. There was a strange shock in their hearts.
Then, Jiang Long told them a story. As he spoke, he rang the bell.
Soon, the group hypnosis was completed.
An hour later, Jiang Long sighed and said, "No, did you find anything?"
In midair, Adams — who was constantly expending the Power of Essence Soul and monitoring the surroundings — said, "No."
Master Gou was a hundred miles away. He was in charge of leading his men to seal off the news. If anyone wanted to leave Yu Province, they would be stopped by his men. They would be hypnotized and asked a few questions before they could leave.
Unfortunately, they didn't gain anything during these five days.
"The only good news now is that the target hasn't committed any more crimes in the past five days," Master Gou said.
"Mo Qiong, where are you?" Adams was lying on the cloud, bored to death.
Mo Qiong said, "I'm in Dadu. Recently, I've been following the emperors. I've noticed that Kublai Khan's behavior is a bit strange."
"Hmm? Kublai Khan? "Adams asked.
Mo Qiong replied, "He's summoned his subordinates many times and requested us to protect his entourage and keep them at least 10 feet away from him.
Adams said, "We only need to protect their lives. Even if the kidney is missing, we can still save him from 10 feet away. There's no need to stick close to him, let's give him some privacy."
"I suspect that he's secretly investigating the owner of the anomaly" Mo Qiong said.
"Ah? He's currently under siege by the rebel army. Even if he knows what anomaly we're looking for, he won't be able to take it away from us "Adams said.
Mo Qiong said, "That's what I thought at first, but I realized that he was always beating around the bush to chat with our entourage. Since yesterday, he has inadvertently asked three times, 'How do we find the mastermind based on the missing kidney'."
Adams pondered a bit and said, "He's heard a lot of my stories, so it's normal for him to be curious. Mo Qiong, I've already told Kublai Khan a lot about the concept of containment. Although it conflicts with our worldview, he knows how dangerous anomalies can be. I know that he wants to take the anomaly from us, but with the current situation, there's nothing he can do "
Mo Qiong asked, "Is there really nothing he can do? Today, I investigated the whereabouts of his confidants, and found that among the confidants that Kublai Khan secretly summoned a few days ago, there was actually a descendant of the Liao royal family "
Adams replied, "As for the Yelu clan, they've already been destroyed. Some of their descendants have already submitted to Genghis Khan for revenge against the Jin"
"They even met … the Southern Song's fallen emperor, Zhao Cheng" Mo Qiong continued.
"…" Adams scowled and immediately sat up straight on the cloud.
As smart as he was, as soon as he heard Mo Qiong's words, he abruptly asked, "He's not trying to rush the probability, is he?"
Rushing the probability was something that the Blue and White Society often did. Just like how they dealt with the 'Death Connecting Dragon Paper', they used a large number of D-class personnel to decrease the probability of death of the people on the paper.
Why did Kublai Khan secretly summon the Southern Song's fallen emperor? The Yelu clan had been destroyed for so many years, so it wasn't strange for them to become the confidants of the Mongol emperor. However, the Southern Song's fallen emperor had absolutely no foundation of trust with Kublai Khan. In history, Kublai Khan directly exiled the Southern Song's fallen emperor to Tibet, where he eventually died of an illness.
"That's why I'm investigating. If you count carefully, within Dadu, Kublai Khan isn't the only emperor. The Southern Song's fallen emperor, the Dali's fallen emperor, the descendants of the Western Xia's fallen emperor, and the Liao royal family's descendants are all in Dadu!" Mo Qiong said.
Adams's mouth twitched. Before the rise of Mongol, there were still many emperors in this world.
After that, Mongol annihilated many of them. Aside from the Jin royal family, the Western Xia and Dali royal families were also annihilated. There were also countries like Khoresm in Central Asia that once had the title of emperor.
The title of emperor was the King of Kings. In this era, there were many rulers, but because too many emperors were annihilated by Mongol, there weren't many left.
What did Kublai Khan secretly summon the fallen emperors or their descendants of the fallen emperors in Dadu mean?
"Are the fallen emperors still considered emperors?" Master Gou asked.
Mo Qiong said, "No. For example, the Southern Song's fallen emperor was demoted to a duke. The Western Xia and Dali's fallen emperors were only marquises."
"However, they were all killed by Meng Gu. Khubilai is the leader of the four Khanates. If he reinstates the throne of the Khanates and allows them to call each other brothers, I don't know if that will count …"
Adams thought for a moment and said, "Maybe … it counts?"
Mo Qiong said, "If it counts, then Kublai Khan is indeed the most capable man in this world to 'create' many emperors."
Other emperors could be crowned kings, but creating emperors was impossible. However, Kublai Khan was special. He had taken too many emperors' titles, so he could just return them to others.
"He secretly created a few more emperors, causing the actual number of emperors to exceed our estimates. If the disappearance of the kidney really happened, then we wouldn't know if it happened to the Song's fallen emperor and the others," Adams said.
Mo Qiong said, "For the past few days, he has been chatting with our people every day, trying to find out our plan. He wants to know how we found the person behind the scenes based on the missing kidney of the emperors."
"Kublai Khan wants to use our method to find the person behind the scenes before us," Adams said.
"Mo Qiong went to confirm it. Maybe the person behind the kidney didn't commit any crimes in the past five days. Maybe one of the fallen emperors lost his kidney and didn't make it public, so we didn't know."
Mo Qiong also said, "That's right. That's why he didn't do anything in the past five days. Maybe the person behind the kidney is waiting for the news of the death of the emperor in Fishing City. He wants to confirm if the kidney in his hand belongs to the Hongguang Emperor. "
"Tsk, I actually thought that he would be honest this time …" Adams felt that he had been cheated.
