Chapter 400 Zuo Qianhu
Zuo Qianhu escorted the prisoner all the way to Tianlao, and handed over to another official from the Ministry of Justice who was waiting there. After verifying his identity, he bowed and said to the person in the cage: "Master Li, take care of yourself."
He was a warrior, and didn't say much. He watched the official from the Ministry of Justice and another Qianhu take the prisoner into the prison, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart.
These days, he didn't know how many missions he had carried out outside the capital, and how many prisoners he had brought back. The more he caught, the more he felt something was wrong.
Especially the ministers in the court, although they were always so warm and kind, but behind that smile, Zuo Qianhu always felt a little fake.
He thought of Zhang Ziyu he saw at the city gate. I don't know why, Zuo Qianhu walked towards the restaurant near the city gate.
He didn't go home to rest. He didn't take off his sword and armor. He entered the restaurant in military uniform, which immediately alarmed the shopkeeper.
"Sir, do you want to eat? Please take a seat here."
Captain Zuo raised his hand to interrupt the shopkeeper and said, "No need to bother. I am here to look for someone. Have you seen a young Taoist?"
The shopkeeper said hurriedly, "Sir Zuo, there is indeed a young Taoist who has come to the shop today. He is eating at the table by the window on the second floor. I will take you there."
The world is in chaos, so it is no wonder that the shopkeeper is so afraid of Captain Zuo.
Captain Zuo shook his head: "I will go up by myself."
After that, he walked towards the second floor with a dragon-like step.
There were not many people on the second floor. As soon as he came up, Captain Zuo saw Zhang Ziyu by the window.
He walked over, stood by the table, clasped his fists and bowed: "Master Taoist, you are polite. Zuo Xiong came to visit rashly, please don't blame me."
"Sit down. The steamed fish in this shop is good."
Captain Zuo sat down, sitting upright. To be honest, he didn't know why he came to find Zhang Ziyu, and he couldn't find a reason to talk for a while.
"How long has Zuo Qianhu been practicing martial arts?"
Zhang Ziyu was talking to Zuo Qianhu while eating, but when he suddenly asked this question, Zuo Qianhu was stunned.
He did not hide it: "Zuo has been practicing martial arts since he was young, and it has been more than 32 years now."
Zuo Qianhu looked at his face and was only in his thirties. He had been practicing martial arts for most of his life, so it was no wonder that he had such a high level of cultivation.
"Your blood is full, and your murderous aura is condensed. Your martial arts cultivation is not bad."
Zhang Ziyu looked at Zuo Qianhu and asked with a smile: "You should have reached your limit, do you still want to make breakthroughs in martial arts?"
Zuo Qianhu frowned slightly. He naturally wanted to make breakthroughs in martial arts cultivation, but it was a little difficult to understand that a stranger suddenly told you that your martial arts cultivation had broken through and reached a higher level.
And the reason why I followed Zhang Ziyu here at the beginning was because I was confused, but now I have gone off topic, right?
Zhang Ziyu said slowly: "With your current martial arts cultivation, it should not be difficult to detect some strange things around you, right?"
Zhang Ziyu did not realize this before he officially met Zuo Qianhu, that is, Zuo Qianhu himself could know that something was wrong with the Daliang Dynasty.
But after seeing him, he saw his martial arts cultivation, and it was different.
With such Qi and blood, if he practiced, he could directly enter the door, and ordinary Qi training cultivators would not be his opponents.
At this level, even Pudu Cihang could avoid his perception, but those little monsters and strange things basically could not escape the keen perception of martial arts.
You know, Zuo Qianhu's title of the strongest fighting power among mortals in the world is not false.
No matter how powerful the offending officials are, they are mostly civil officials, not traitors. How could it be possible that Zuo Qianhu, a martial arts master, would go out to arrest people in everything?
It is clear that those monsters knew Zuo Qianhu's martial arts cultivation, and in order to prevent him from noticing something wrong and ruining things, they let him go.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was afraid of being hurt by the luck of the Daliang Dynasty, he would have eaten this Zuo Qianhu first.
For such a person, the luck of the dynasty is not weak, so he needs to take it slowly.
However, Zhang Ziyu observed the luck and found that the Daliang Dynasty was probably almost done now, so it would not be long before Zuo Qianhu would be the turn.
When Zuo Qianhu heard this, his face changed. Of course, he felt something was wrong, and that was why he came to find Zhang Ziyu.
He clasped his hands together, his face serious: "Please teach me, sir."
"Martial artists have qi and blood. The stronger the qi and blood, the more sensitive they are to the perception and restraint of evil spirits. You have reached this level. Whether it is instinct or the perception of qi and blood, you can detect something wrong. I guess you have killed evil spirits before?"
After hearing this, Zuo Qianhu did not hide it and nodded: "Yes, a few years ago, I was escorting people passing by a ruined temple and did see a strange person with bad intentions. I killed him with three swords. But after the beheading, I found that the person disappeared, leaving only a pile of black ash. Later, my men The soldiers spread rumors, and then they realized that it might be a ghost. "
Zhang Ziyu smiled and said, "Don't you think that the current court feels a bit similar to the past?"
Zuo Qianhu was suddenly awakened, stood up suddenly, and knocked over the cups and bowls on the table, making a clanging sound: "Sir, are you saying that there is an evil spirit that is harming the country? !"
"Yes"
After getting the reply, Zuo Qianhu's face rose with anger: "I will go and kill that evil spirit"
"Ahem"
Zhang Ziyu almost choked to death with a mouthful of wine, and waved his hand to let him slow down: "Forget it, even if you go, you will be a mess. Do you really think that ordinary ghosts can harm the country?"
His words made Zuo Qianhu calm down and apologized: "Zuo lost his temper."
Zuo Qianhu calmed down a little and asked in a deep voice: "Sir, can you tell Zuo who is the evil spirit hiding in the court?"
"I think you have seen the national preceptor Pudu Cihang."
"What?!"
Zuo Qianhu was a little unbelievable. After all, Pudu Cihang pretended to be so good that he now had a trace of disbelief.
"It's him, the centipede spirit who has been practicing for thousands of years. The purpose of coming to Daliang should be to swallow up your dynasty luck to help him practice."
Zuo Qianhu showed an angry look: "Just for the sake of cultivation, so the people of Liang are going to have to live in poverty?"
Zhang Ziyu took a sip of wine and said, "Otherwise, it's normal to practice with the help of luck, but this big centipede is a little too cruel. By the way, I wanted to ask you, who among the current Liang Dynasty How is the power of the national division?"
"There is only one National Preceptor, but he has many followers. They all live with him in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion ten miles outside of Kyoto. They do not run any power."
"That's not it. I'm talking about how many civil and military officials often go to the Imperial Preceptor."
Zuo Qianhu:?
Zuo Qianhu didn't know why, but because what Zhang Ziyu revealed mirrored his usual doubts, he subconsciously had a high level of trust in Zhang Ziyu, so after thinking about it carefully, he replied: "I don't know how much specifically. , But as far as I know, because the National Master often talks about Buddhism, most civil and military officials will go to the National Master’s Mansion to listen to the lectures.”
"Sir, what's the problem?"
"There's a little problem."
"Can you elaborate? If possible, Zuo is willing to help sir. I just ask sir to save Daliang."
"Don't worry, there are just too many monsters to deal with."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qianhu's face became serious: "Approximately how many are there?"
"There are hundreds of civil and military officials, there should be hundreds of them."
"."
Zuo Qianhu couldn't hold himself any longer, and his face turned extremely ugly: "Sir, are you saying that all the civil and military officials who are close to the Imperial Preceptor have turned into monsters?"
Zhang Ziyu nodded, then his eyes fell on Zuo Qianhu, and said: "Zuo Qianhu, let me make a deal with you. You will be my guide these days. We will join forces inside and outside to make Pudu Cihang. When the time comes, I will How about your technique to break through the current martial arts realm?"
"As long as your husband is willing to take action to save the country of Liang, Zuo is willing to obey your orders, even if he is willing to die."
Zhang Ziyu patted Zuo Qianhu's shoulder and said, "It's not that serious. Let's go try out the power of the giant centipede with me tonight, and then make a small plan."
