Chapter 360: Clues

"Dou Zong? Thousand-faced real person? You are joking, how can a Dou Zong be cultivated with the background of the Red Sun Empire?"

Li Xiaojing looked at Ning Qi with even more sarcasm.

"That's the truth, about this matter, you can interrogate Long Jiutian yourself, Your Majesty."

Ning Qi smiled.

"Long Jiutian? You brought him back?"

Qin Zheng frowned.

"The people from Guanfu Commercial Firm are escorting him back, and it won't be long before he arrives in the capital. The real person with thousands of faces is probably negotiating with the Baicao Sect and the Qinglan Sect, or the Dou Zong who is holding back these two sects." , when the time comes, our Qin and Tang Empire will face a fierce battle, the emperor should prepare early."

Ning Qi smiled.

"Your Majesty, these words are simply nonsense! The Red Sun Empire does not lose half of its tribute every year. If they really have Dou Zong, our Qin and Tang Empire will be stable for so many years?"

Li Xiaojing sneered.

"That's because the goal of the Red Sun Empire is not our Qin and Tang Empire at all. This place is just a springboard for him. The Red Sun Empire intends to become a tripartite rivalry with the Baicao Sect and the Qinglan Sect."

Ning Qi sneered.

"Okay, don't quarrel, you two, this matter, Li Xiaojing, you lead your shadow guards, go to investigate clearly, see if there are ambushes from the Red Sun Empire in our four directions, east, west, north and south, if this matter It's true, this time, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Qin Zheng frowned.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Xiaojing nodded, although he still didn't believe Ning Qi's nonsense in his heart, but he would still listen to Qin Zheng's words, glared at Ning Qi, and left the study directly.

"Tu Longhou, if this is true, may I ask you to bring some reinforcements to the White Tiger Empire?"

Qin Zheng looked at Ning Qi and said.

"I can give it a try, whether they will help, I can't guarantee."

Ning Qi nodded.

"Well, the emperor understands."

Qin Zheng nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Qi said goodbye and left.

Not long after he left the palace, Qin Yao and Ling Yan also came back.

"Junior Sister, there may be some misunderstandings about this matter, wait for you and Heishui Aolong to calm down for a while, and then make things clear."

Ling Yan persuaded.

Qin Yao was expressionless and silent all the way, and she felt uncomfortable watching it.

"Although I don't know what he did with those girls, I'm not stupid, and it definitely won't be a good thing. Sister, don't try to persuade me. I'll explain to my mother, queen and father, and we'll go back to the sect. Go, in a few months, the trial of true disciples will start, and my only goal now is to become a true disciple."

Qin Yao said.

"Oh well."

Ling Yan nodded.

The next day, the second daughter left the capital.

………

North of the capital.

On the border of Tianfeng Forest, there is a small town. This small town is completely inconspicuous in the Qin and Tang Empire. There will not be any monsters coming to attack, because the monsters here will be cleaned up by the noble children of the capital every year.

Li Xiaojing descended from the sky, walking on a country road.

From time to time, peasant women who passed by saw him dressed in extraordinary clothes, and saluted him respectfully.

"This is already the northernmost point. Ning Qi, that guy, is really just talking nonsense."

Li Xiaojing secretly thought in his heart.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a shirtless upper body not far away caught his attention. This man was working hard in the field. Looking at his movements, he could not tell that he had any cultivation on him. Every time he swung the hoe, It can make him sweat, obviously he has been doing farm work for a long time.

His skin was dark, exactly the same as the farmers Li Xiaojing had seen before, there was nothing worth noting, but what Li Xiaojing noticed was not these.

But traces in the fields.

These traces dug out by the hoe are no more, no less, exactly five inches and three centimeters, no more than one centimeter, no less than one centimeter, if one or two are like this, then it’s nothing, the key is that all the marks are so neat , which made Li Xiaojing somewhat suspicious.

Therefore, Li Xiaojing stood by the field, observing the other party unabashedly.

The middle-aged man glanced at Li Xiaojing, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued to work.

After about a cup of tea, seeing Li Xiaojing still looking at him, the face of the middle-aged man changed slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes looking at Tiandi. Then, his strength changed, and those marks were no longer exactly the same. Some are deeper and some are shallower.

Seeing this, Li Xiaojing turned and left.

The middle-aged man looked at Li Xiaojing's back and stopped suddenly. At this time, other people from the field also came over.

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know, the aura on his body is at least that of a Dou Huang!"

"Could it be that he found us?"

"It's impossible. We all took the top-grade Xuan-rank Breath Containing Pill. Even the peak Dou Huang, a master who has entered the nine stages of life and death, can't see our details."

At this time, the middle-aged man showed a wry smile on his face, lowered his head and glanced at his field, and said in a low voice, "Maybe he really found something."

When everyone heard the words, there was a hint of doubt on their faces, and when they saw the traces on the field, their faces darkened instantly.

…………

Shadow Guard.

The dozen or so spies sent by Li Xiaojing sent back information one after another. After receiving a piece of information, Li Xiaojing's expression became even more strange.

On that document, it was the government's reservation to the small town he just went to. It clearly records that there are 37 households in this small town, with 128 people, even if there are recent changes. , and will not exceed twenty or so, but he just clearly felt the breath of more than three hundred people in the town!

There have been no disasters recently, and naturally there are no reports of refugees. Who are the over one hundred people?

In other words, there are more than 300 people, but there is still one original townsman?

Thinking of this, Li Xiaojing stood up abruptly, "You guys, go and bring back all the population files of every town and town in every place, and then send all the people to check every place, whether it matches the files, don't let a small village go. ! If there is a problem, report to me as soon as possible!"

"yes!"

After hearing the words, more than a dozen spies withdrew one after another.

Each of these dozens of people is a Douhuang, and their cultivation bases range from one star to three stars. Originally, with this cultivation base, they could at least be enshrined in the Qin and Tang Empires, but they were willing to be a shadow in the dark night , because, they Shadow Guards were originally dead soldiers trained by the emperors of the Qin and Tang Empires.
