Chapter 147 Follow-Up (1/2)

With the sound of the first explosion, the sound shook the entire back of the Taoist Mansion.

In the Dao Master's mansion, three people flew out from three directions.

The three of them were extremely fast, unlike the innate warriors who could only levitate and needed to rely on condensing Qi on the soles of their feet to move forward.

A pair of wings appeared on the backs of these three people, but they were larger and smaller, with different colors and styles.

The first person to arrive had wings on his back that looked like flowing clouds, very elegant, and the overall white color was a little azure.

"What's going on?"

There was irrepressible anger in the crisp voice.

This woman is the special envoy Yun Mi.

When she heard the explosion, her spiritual sense was triggered. She sensed the direction of the explosion and suddenly felt something bad.

So, she directly broke the roof and flew out, causing the second-story attic where she originally lived to collapse.

This was affected by the power she inadvertently revealed.

Fortunately, the maids who serve her all have a certain level of cultivation. For ordinary people, a scenario that would lead to a narrow escape from death would probably result in a broken arm or leg at most.

If you're unlucky and get hit on the head, that's another story.

"Master Yun, someone poisoned you."

"Someone poisoned me!!"

"It must have been poisoned by those beasts, beasts inferior to pigs and dogs!!!"

Those who survived seemed to have found a backbone the moment they saw Yun Mi.

They all started shouting crazily.

They are venting their fears.

No wonder, they were almost poisoned to death like their companions lying on the ground.

It can be said that they are people who have walked between life and death.

Li Yan, who was spattered with blood, pretended to be crazy and camouflaged himself among the crowd.

Listening to the constant insults from the crowd, not only did it not affect his performance in the slightest, it didn't even make him feel any shake in his heart.

From the moment he chose to embark on the path of martial arts, he was destined to have blood on his hands, whether it was good or bad.

If he cannot treat the people he killed directly or indirectly with a normal mind, then sooner or later these people will become his inner demons.

"Everyone calm down."

A loud voice echoed in the small courtyard that seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of blood-colored ink.

There was a calming charm in the voice, which gradually calmed down the crazy people in the yard.

This person is the owner of this Taoist Mansion, the hereditary Shannan Taoist Duke Jiang Bokao.

"Special Envoy Yun, please calm down for a moment. I will handle this matter and give you an explanation."

Jiang Bokao pressed down with one hand and suppressed the restless Yun Mi.

After hearing the shouts of the crowd, Yun Mi's eyes suddenly turned red and his whole body boiled with energy.

If Jiang Bokao hadn't arrived in time, this huge courtyard would have been destroyed by the power fluctuations in her body.

"Old guy, do you want to start a war with the imperial court?"

It's a pity that Yun Mi, in his anger, didn't listen to Jiang Bokao's promise at all.

Instead, the real energy all over his body boiled faster. Under the strong pressure, the surrounding air fled from Yun Mi's side, and began to form an increasingly fierce wind around him.

"Little guy, he was well protected by those old guys from the Yun family. Although his strength is good, his character is a bit bad."

Looking at the angry Yun Mi, Jiang Bokao couldn't help but shook his head.

Then, he said to the third person who flew over: "Jiang Congjun, come and control this girl."

"Yes, Mr. Patriarch."

Then, Jiang Congjun took over from Jiang Bokao and firmly suppressed Yun Mi.

However, he was obviously not as powerful as Jiang Bakao, so he was not as calm as Jiang Bakao, with a look of difficulty on his face.

"To be in the Ningsha state at such a young age, I used to sit in a well and watch the sky."

Jiang Congjun looked at Yun Mi who was struggling under his hands and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Jiang Congjun is the first member of the Jiang family in his generation, and the only member of the Jiang family who has achieved the Ningsha realm. He is also the fastest person in the Jiang family to break through the Ningsha realm since records began.

At the age of sixty-five, he broke through the Ningsha realm.

Today, he is the deputy commander of the Shannan Army, the strongest army in Shannan Road.

The orthodox leader is one of his elders, the same generation as Jiang Bokao.

It is precisely because of this breakthrough speed that he has always been proud in his heart.

Until Yun Mi's arrival, he couldn't believe that someone could break through to the Ningsha realm before the age of fifty.

Therefore, the two had never met before, and it was Jiang Congjun who had been resisting their meeting.

This time, it was the first meeting between the two.

While these thoughts were going through his mind, Jiang Bokao beside him was asking about the whole story.

"You mean, someone poisoned your food?"

Jiang Bokao frowned slightly.

"Yes, Lord Dao Gong, I don't know what the poison is yet, but I know where the poisoner put the poison."

Kong Tianyang replied in a calm voice.

Compared to others, Kong Tianyang, who had experienced life and death, was able to calm down his emotions faster.

At this moment, although reason controlled his body, the anger in his heart was no less than that of others.

"Oh, how do you know?"

A very plain question, uttered from Jiang Bokao's mouth, gave Kong Tianyang an inexplicable pressure.

"Is this the aura of a Taoist master who controls a land?"

The first time Kong Tianyang faced Jiang Bokao, his momentum was completely overwhelmed by him.

This made him speak the truth involuntarily and dare not lie.

"I noticed that all the dead had eaten a fruit called Chunyuan fruit before they died."

"As for staple foods like rice, all of us have eaten them, but I am indeed fine."

"Obviously, there could only be something wrong with the Chunyuan fruit."

While Kong Tianyang was speaking, Jiang Bokao stared at him, without speaking or making any other movements.

Only after Kong Tianyang finished speaking did he retract his gaze from Kong Tianyang and scan the surroundings.

Just after he looked away, Kong Tianyang breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he realized that his back was already covered with cold sweat.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Jiang Bokao seemed to have seen something, and with a wave of his right hand, a piece of Qingyuan fruit that had rolled to the corner appeared in his hand.

This was a cut Chunyuan fruit, and the flesh exposed to the air was already stained with dirt.

Jiang Bokao didn't mind the dirtiness. He pointed his index finger, and a stream of red true energy flowed out from his fingertips, wrapping the entire Chunyuan Fruit.

In less than a breath, a drop of transparent liquid not much bigger than a needle was extracted by him.

Li Yan, who was hiding in the crowd with tears on his face and fire in his eyes, was a little confused when he saw this scene.

"Could it be that he can also extract [Half-step Fall] from it?"

The two were not far apart, and with Li Yan's eyesight, he could clearly see the drop of transparent liquid.

"Come here, call Master Hao Dan over."

Jiang Bokao was not proficient in poison.

At the command, a man came out of the Shannan Army that had surrounded the entire courtyard and half-knelt on the ground.

"Yes, respect the order of Dao Gong."

Then, he used his body skills, soared into the sky, and flew away.

Obviously, this is an innate master.

At the beginning of joining the Shannan Army, everyone was instilled with an idea, loyal to Dao Gong and loyal to the Jiang family.

"Others, clean up here, and then ask the doctor to come and check the bodies of the envoys."

"Also, who delivered the food today, and who handled the food, all of them should be checked out for me."

"I will only give you half an hour. If you can't find out, you will be subject to military law."

After that, Jiang Bokao ordered the remaining Shannan Army.

"Yes, the order of the Lord of Dao."

The soldiers responded in unison, and the sound shook the four fields.

After receiving the order, half of the people went to search for people and things related to this matter.

The remaining half of the people, some cleaned up the scene, and some went to find a doctor.

Some people, who had nothing to do, blocked the space of a hundred feet in the courtyard.

The officials, guards, attendants, maids, etc. who were attracted by the sound of the explosion were all stopped by them.

"You are calm now."

Jiang Bokao came to Yun Mi's side.

At this time, Yun Mi no longer had the angry expression before, but a cold expression.

Faced with Jiang Bokao's question, Yun Mi ignored it.

This made Jiang Congjun frown and he was about to scold them out of habit.

But he was stopped by Jiang Bokao in time.

If Jiang Congjun spoke, the two would probably fight.

"I know you are still angry, but being angry is useless. The most important thing is to find the murderer and avenge them."

"Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory answer today."

Jiang Bokao promised.

Hearing this, Yun Mi's face looked better.

"I'm waiting for your answer."

After saying that, Yun Mi walked towards Kong Tianyang and other envoys who had escaped death.

After this happened, as a special envoy, it would be unreasonable if she didn't comfort them.

Although, she was not very good at this.

"Chief, is it necessary to give her so much face?"

Seeing Yun Mi's attitude towards Jiang Bokao, Jiang Congyun was furious.

"Congyun, be patient. This is not to give face to Yun Mi, but to give face to the court."

"If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that the court will issue a reprimand immediately."

"A reprimand, in the past, of course, would have no impact on my Jiang family, but at this time, if we can avoid the attention of the court, we should try not to be noticed."

"Do you know why?"

Jiang Bo asked Jiang Congyun.

"Is it because of the winner?"

Jiang Congyun thought for a while and replied hesitantly.

"The winner is only one of them. Dayue and the [Red Blood Army to Destroy Zhou] that is mixed with Dayue are the other."

"For the royal Ji family, the winner is an internal threat, Dayue is an external threat, and the [Red Blood Army to Destroy Zhou] is a minor problem."

"The winner's family occupies two roads. No, in a few years, it may be three roads. Its power is so great that it is only weaker than the royal Ji family in Da Zhou."

"This naturally makes the winner a major concern for the royal Ji family."

"If the winner has a rebellious heart, even if the Ji family can win in the end, it will be a miserable victory. At that time, Dayue and Damu, who are eyeing it covetously, will not let go of a weak Da Zhou."

"And once there are no internal and external troubles, the [Red Blood Army to Destroy Zhou] can be destroyed with a flick of the hand."

"But now, these internal and external troubles are getting worse and worse, and the [Red Blood Army to Destroy Zhou] is becoming more and more threatening to the royal Ji family."

"This is also the reason why I acquiesced to the people of [Red Blood Destroy Zhou Army] and ran wild in my territory."

Jiang Bokao looked in Yun Mi's direction and said in a leisurely tone.

"No wonder, I said that even if you don't like these people, Patriarch, you will not let other forces run wild on our Jiang family's territory."

After listening to Jiang Bokao's words, Jiang Congjun suddenly solved his previous doubts and suddenly realized.

"Then if what happened this time was done by people from [Red Blood Destroyer Zhou Army], should we arrest them?"

Then, Jiang Congjun asked hesitantly.

Obviously, from Jiang Bokao's words, Jiang Congjun heard that the clan leader was afraid of people like [Red Blood Destroy the Zhou Army].

They were not afraid of [Destroying the Zhou Army with Red Blood], but they were afraid of the Dayue Kingdom behind them.

"Of course we must catch them. Not only must we catch them, but we must catch them all."

"Even if this matter was not done by [Red Blood Destroy Zhou Army], everyone must think that it was done by [Red Blood Destroy Zhou Army]."

Unexpectedly, the answer Jiang Bokao gave was completely different from what he thought.

This made Jiang Congjun a little stunned.

"What you say is true."

Jiang Congjun asked cautiously.

"Of course it's true. How can we not take advantage of such a good opportunity?"

"Those people in [Red Blood Destroy Zhou Army] are not the same as us. Our previous compromise may have become a kind of weakness in their eyes. You can see this by looking at their increasingly arrogant behavior recently. ”

"I'm just trying to find a suitable reason to get rid of them all."

"It was God's blessing. Just when I had this idea, something like this happened."

"As long as I pin this matter firmly on people like [Red Blood Destroyer Zhou Army], even if I kill them all, no one will say anything?"

"Because they crossed the line."

Speaking of this, Jiang Bokao's eyes shot out a cold light.

Jiang Congjun also had a fierce look on his face when he heard this.

"It has indeed crossed the line. If they can poison these people today, won't they be able to poison us or other members of our Jiang family in the future?"

There was a hint of murderous intent in Jiang Congjun's words.

Obviously, if he were to catch the mastermind behind it, he would definitely not make it easy for the other party.

"So, you should understand the importance of this matter."

"If it was those [Red Blood Destroyer Zhou Army] who did it, we can just destroy them directly. Anyway, the positions of almost all of them are under our control."

"On the other hand, if they hadn't done it, it would have been troublesome. Someone wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

Jiang Bokao's more than a hundred years of struggle experience was not given in vain. He obviously smelled something unusual in it, but he was not sure yet without other intelligence support.

"You are saying that someone wants to use this matter to lend our hands to kill those [Red Blood Destroyer Zhou Army] people."

"It is indeed possible. After all, these people have no other enemies here. If it was not done by their only enemy, it means that the person who did this was drunk and not interested in drinking."

Jiang Congjun can get it right.

"As long as you understand."

"The follow-up of this matter will be left to you. Let me check carefully to see who is behind this matter."

"No matter who it is, as long as it is involved, I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go."

As soon as Jiang Bokao started talking, the whole Nanshan City was going to be a bloody storm.

"My subordinate understands."

Jiang Congjun was accepting this order as Shannan Army.

The military orders are like mountains, which represents Jiang Congjun's determination at this time.

"Report to the Master, Alchemist Hao, bring him here."

"Reporting to the Lord, the people related to this matter have been brought here."

I don't know how long it took, but two soldiers from the Shannan Army came to Jiang Bokao, half-kneeling and clasping their fists.

"Okay, let's go."

Jiang Bokao waved his sleeves and took the lead.

Then Jiang Congjun followed, followed by two Shannan Army soldiers who got up.
