Chapter 36 The second scarlet opportunity!Duke Xu's Mansion in the north of the city!

inside the tent.

Jiang Chen looked at the businessman Yi Qiu with a trace of pity, and said in a deep voice:

"I will try my best to help you find the murderer, but I also need you to give more information. I am afraid that just a smell of stench is not enough for me to send people to search the whole city. Besides..."

There was a pained look on Yi Qiu's face, as if all the energy and energy in his body had disappeared at this moment, and he said bitterly:
"I understand what your lord means. My daughter is probably no longer alive, so..."

After a few seconds of silence, Yi Qiu's weathered middle-aged face gradually revealed a trace of hatred that penetrated deep into the bone marrow:

"As long as my lord can kill the murderer, I am willing to build a bridge between my lord and the local big family. As long as I get their support, you can stabilize the situation in Dongli as soon as possible, right?"

Jiang Chen pondered for a while, if there is local forces to cooperate, whether it is public security, building granaries, or raising military rations, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.

and.

Letting a corpse demon lie dormant in the city, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be a huge chaos, and the "twenty great achievements and two hundred minor achievements" promised by the captain will surely come to nothing.

Think about this.

Jiang Chen flipped through the "Little Desolation Scripture" until the last few pages, and found what he needed - a simplified version of the scavenging ceremony!
A few days ago, he ventured to start the scavengers promotion ceremony, and vaguely felt the location of dozens of high-value treasures in the city.

finally,
He chose to pick up the portrait of the door god.

But from another perspective, the scavenging ceremony naturally has the potential effect of picking up treasures!

therefore.

Zhang Baisui, the old head of the village, studied carefully for several months and designed a low-profile version of the scavenging ceremony.

As long as "lightning wood five coins + winter crickets that have survived a year of frost and snow + six taels of weeds", you can vaguely sense the treasures in the surrounding area.

Due to the reduced intensity of the ceremony, most of the time, the old head of the village can only pick up some garbage, and is ridiculed by others as a "garbage guy", but occasionally he can find some good things in places that are inaccessible.

Those who are looking for the real existence only need to take a sniff of the personal items with the corresponding breath after taking the white crystal.

It's like asking a hound to sniff something.

Jiang Chen smiled lightly and asked:

"Can you give me some of your daughter's usual items, maybe it will help to track."

heard.

Yi Chou was overjoyed, and immediately returned home, brought a rattle, and said reminiscently, "This is my daughter's favorite toy. Every night, I have to shake it two or three hundred times before going to sleep."

"Well, it fits."

During Yi Qiu's return home, Jiang Chen also sent someone to find lightning strike wood, overwintering crickets and weeds, and a brand new medicine jar that was about to shatter.

"Every time a scavenging ceremony is held, a medicine pot loses its life."

Jiang Chen smiled knowingly, and reproduced the operation a few days ago when the scavengers ceremony was held.

soon.

The medicine pot shattered with a bang!
Jiang Chen found a small white crystal, opened his mouth and swallowed it.

In an instant.

Everything around them turned into horror at this moment, but the degree of distortion was not as serious as last time, it was just a bit similar to Dongli's dead soldiers, and everyone seemed to have turned into ghosts.

Jiang Chen restrained the fear in his heart, only to feel that his soul was falling, as if he was getting closer to the earth... No, maybe it was the legendary Netherland!

He couldn't help guessing in his heart:
"Perhaps it is because of the influence of the breath of Netherland that I see normal things as horrors."

Holding the rattle in his hand, Jiang Chen asked the earth for information.

after a few seconds.

From the vast land carrying everything in the world, there are several kinds of indistinct messages.

Jiang Chen inspired the "Wanderer of Han Dynasty", and a simple map of Dongli City immediately appeared in his mind, and based on the information he obtained, he anchored the location of Yi Qiu's daughter.

North of the city!

Xu Gongfu!
This is a family that defected from the David Wu Dynasty to Loulan in the Western Region. All members of the clan are not less than eight feet tall and handsome in appearance.

Even the last emperor of the previous dynasty favored a male favorite with the surname of Xu, and was granted the title of Duke Xu.

As a result, the Xu family prospered for a while.

But once the emperor and the courtiers, after the establishment of the David Wu Dynasty, Emperor David Gaozu preferred the military generals and the art of war, and he was disgusted with the former male favorite family and repeatedly suppressed it.

The Xu family had no choice but to flee to the Western Regions, where they have survived until now in Dongli City.

The "Gong Wen" who had been in charge of Dongli City's civil affairs for decades was from the Xu family, and most of the officials at all levels in Dongli City were controlled by Xu's children.

"Is it the remnants of the previous dynasty?"

Jiang Chen snorted coldly, ordered Xiao Wu and the other four to stay and guard the granary, and led Gongsun Hu and the other four to the north of Dongli City immediately.

And when he arrived at the gate, he suddenly remembered that he had also been here during his first scavenging ceremony, but the gate was damaged and the inside was messy, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

however!
However, Yi Qiu was burning with anger, and said in a deep voice:

"My lord, this is nothing more than a blindfold!"

"The gate was intentionally destroyed, and it appeared to be looted, but in the underground secret room, there are still dozens of members of the Xu clan hiding in it, relying on vendors to secretly transport some vegetables and meat in at night, and leave immediately when the gate is fully opened. "

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth twitched, these members of the Xu clan were quite clever, they actually knew how to plan an empty city, false and real, and soldiers with impermanent power.

If the possibility of corpse demons was added, the difficulty of attacking Duke Xu's mansion would probably be far beyond imagination. With only four soldiers behind him, it would be impossible to attack.

Think about this.

Jiang Chen sent a civilian husband to the barracks quickly.

…………

Inside the military camp.

As soon as Feng Lebin heard the word "corpse demon", he was so happy that he immediately called more than [-] Qingzhou soldiers around him and rushed to the north of the city.

And the other hundred generals who stayed in the city - Fan Liangshan, could only shed tears of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Opportunities to hunt demonic creatures have always been very rare.

After all, after killing it, it will receive the favor of righteous aura, and the intelligence of this kind of creature is only half of its life, it is the king in the battlefield, but in the non-battlefield environment, the probability of being killed by hunting is extremely high.

Small risk, big profit!
But by chance, he had only met Jiang Chen once.

When they met, the deal was still done at a very low price, Fan Liangshan could only watch helplessly as the great opportunity landed on Feng Lebin.

"It's really a fool's luck to be a fool!"

Fan Liangshan was extremely annoyed and said:

"If you bought Jiang Baijiang's antique calligraphy and painting at the market price that day, you can also buy some soup today!"

…………

Inside the Central Military Camp.

Captain Zhang Ying stood at the top seat with a blank expression on his face. He listened to the report of the civilian husband below, and said with great interest:
"I didn't expect the last escaped corpse demon to hide in Xugong's mansion. It's an advantage to that kid."

Thinking carefully for a few breaths, Zhang Ying threw out a dagger-shaped charm and said:

"The corpse demon in its heyday is not easy to deal with. Give this item to Jiang Baijiang. After discovering the trace of the corpse demon, be sure to use it as soon as possible."

The civilian husband nodded and said yes, and turned back immediately.

…………

Time passed by minute by minute.

Unknowingly, Duke Xu's mansion has been heavily surrounded.

A total of five hundred civilians quickly moved all kinds of supplies, coupled with the full support of the businessman Yi Qiu, a simple line of defense was quickly established around the mansion.

Even if it is a mouse or a bird, don't even think about running out!
Jiang Chen even dispatched twelve civilian husbands with excellent ears to lie on the ground in twelve directions with Duke Xu's mansion as the center, listening to the underground movement at any time to prevent the existence of secret passages.

Without it, only sound ears!
When Feng Lebin arrived with more than sixty Qingzhou soldiers, Jiang Chen touched the dagger charm in his arms, and finally smiled.

Even if there really is a mature corpse hidden in Duke Xu's mansion, it is still capable of fighting now!
everything's ready.

"Gun in hand, follow me!"

With a soft drink, Jiang Chen awakened his just-recovered fate "Stay Guard", his body surface hardened suddenly, and he walked to the gate of Duke Xu's mansion first.

In an instant.

In the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, a golden light suddenly appeared:
[The second crimson opportunity is being stimulated! 】

Jiang Chen was overjoyed. Sure enough, the last corpse in Dongli City was hiding in Xugong's mansion!
