I, seal everything

Chapter 184 278~279 Five-eyed doubts, waves rise again

And when Chen Zheng was re-practicing the exercises.

Outside Lingqiu County, in a small town more than two hundred miles away.

In the dark secret room, the air seemed to be frozen into ice, and the enchanting figure of Mrs. Wumu was like a sculpture, sitting cross-legged in the center of the secret room, motionless.

It can be seen that at this moment, her coquettish face is bluish-white, and there is a faint layer of hoarfrost between her brows, exuding a threatening chill from the inside out.

This cold air seemed to be blowing from the arctic glaciers and spread in all directions, so that the walls of the secret room were covered with frost.

I don't know how long it took.

call.
After a long breath, the five-eyed lady who seemed to be frozen opened her eyes, and the bluish-white color on her face and even the hoar frost on her body all faded away.

And as she breathed, the air flow swept across like a spring breeze, sweeping away the cold air that pervaded her body.

"What a icy evil spirit, it took me so many days to get rid of it"

Mrs. Wumu stood up slowly, sneered and said to herself:
"Unexpectedly, Nie Haisheng started to use the celestial talisman to condense the gangster and refine the evil spirit. I'm afraid I'm still no match for this person, but it's a pity."

Condensing the gangster and refining the evil spirit is a necessary practice step for the great master of Tiangang. It can condense one's own true energy into a gangster, and the cultivation base will change qualitatively.

Generally speaking, only those who are really strong in the Heavenly Gang Realm can use such methods, but she can tell that Nie Haisheng seems to have found a new way to condense these two ice shackles by relying on the celestial talisman.

Of course, it means that Nie Haisheng has been immersed in the Realm of Martial Arts for a long time, and his true energy can be extremely powerful and concise. It is absolutely impossible for someone like her who has only been promoted to the Realm of Martial Arts in the past two years.

After several days of retreat, Mrs. Wumu left the secret room after doing some activities.

The secret room is located in the backyard of a Wenwan store.After she came out, she rang the bell, and immediately the shopkeeper was alarmed, and immediately rushed over:

"Ma'am, are you out of customs?"

Mrs. Wumu nodded slightly: "How is it, how are Qi Gang and the others doing?"

The shopkeeper said cautiously: "Not yet, they may still be in Lingqiu County at this moment. I heard the news that Qi Nei sent Gu Nei to make them succeed. Although there were casualties, half of the troops were successfully withdrawn, but they were temporarily trapped in the county. In the city."

Mrs. Wumu said displeasedly:
"I asked you to send someone to find a way to respond, but you didn't go?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said:
"You don't know that the whole city of Lingqiu County has been sealed off during the past few days of your retreat. Everyone who enters and exits the city gates must be searched. The remaining few people can't enter the city at all, so..."

Madam Wumu frowned:

"Forget it, I don't blame you. The things in their hands are quite important. I'll go and meet them myself."

The shopkeeper was a little panicked: "Madam, why don't I go with you?"

Mrs. Wumu nodded:
"They've been sleepy for a few days, and they don't know the exact casualties. You call up two good men, and bring some healing pills, and we'll set off in the afternoon."

"Yes."

The shopkeeper didn't say anything anymore, and retreated respectfully.

So after a while.

The horses were ready, and Mrs. Wumu closed the shop after a short bath and rest, and led the shopkeeper and two congregants disguised as shop assistants, and rode out of the town.

The small town is only more than two hundred miles away from Lingqiu County, and it can be reached in an hour or two.

By the time the four of them approached the city again, night had already shrouded, but the torches on the city wall were connected with light, and soldiers of the defense army were patrolling almost every ten steps, and the defense was so tight that it was almost impenetrable.

Seeing this situation, when Mrs. Wumu was two or three miles away, she asked three of her men to stop by the side of the road:
"The city wall is heavily guarded. Since the three of you can't get in, stay here and prepare to respond."

The shopkeeper and the other three didn't dare to show their strength, they should be respectful.

And after Madam Wumu finished speaking, she was like a ghost, drifting away towards the city.

As the master of the secret realm of refining qi, her figure completely blends into the night when she moves, which is not something ordinary people can capture.

So until she had come under the city wall, the soldiers holding torches on the top of the city still didn't notice it.

Then the next moment, the soldier's head became dizzy for no reason, and then he staggered.

Ten steps away, another soldier suddenly looked over and asked nervously, "Tiger, what's wrong with you kid?"

The soldier known as the tiger also didn't understand at all, so he covered his forehead with a slightly pale face:
"No, it's okay, I don't know if it was blown hard by the wind or something, my head was a little dizzy just now."

"Hey, your body is weak, you must have been squeezed dry by your mother-in-law, right? Look at me, learn from me!"

"roll!"

The two soldiers laughed and cursed, but neither of them took it seriously.

What they didn't notice at all was that a figure had already crossed the city wall and drifted towards the city.

Ever since the Flying Centipede attacked the city, the city has been under curfew, and there are no other people on the streets except the patrolling soldiers.

And the figure of Mrs. Wumu was like a ghost, shuttling through the city without alarming anyone.

As the master of the helm, she naturally knows the safety points and contact points in the city like the back of the back of the hand.

After a while, she came to an abandoned and remote yard, and then went straight to the backyard to find a hidden underground entrance.

First, he tapped a few times rhythmically. After receiving no response, Mrs. Wumu frowned slightly, and then forcibly pulled the iron plate away and went underground.

As a result, it was naturally empty inside, except for the smell of herbs and blood and rancidity, there was nothing else.

There were still blood-stained bandages scattered on the ground. Mrs. Wumu took a look and determined that Qi Gang and the others must have stayed here a few days ago, and they might have been transferred due to some circumstances.

There was another safe place to hide in the city, so she immediately walked out of the cellar and went to another place.

however.

When she arrived at the safe spot, she suddenly found that there was no one there, not even a trace of Qi Gang and others staying there!

Ok?
The eyes of Mrs. Wumu, who found nothing, changed slightly, and doubts appeared in her heart.

According to the information inquired by his subordinates, it can be confirmed that Qi Gang, Gu Liangsheng and others have successfully succeeded and were not captured by the government and the Xiexie Division.

But there are only these two safe places to hide in the city. If they are not here, where will they go?

Searching around, but without any clues, she pondered for a moment, left codes at two locations, and then returned the same way, repeating the same trick, and safely crossed the city wall at the other end and left the city.

Back at the place where the three subordinates were going to meet up, the shopkeeper saw Mrs. Wumu returning alone, and asked in surprise:
"Ma'am, Zine sent them?"

"They're not in a safe spot that I know of, maybe they were accidentally moved elsewhere."

Mrs. Wumu's eyes dimmed:

"The rumors in the city are very tight now, you should think of a way during this time, send people to sneak into the city, find a way to contact them as soon as possible, and then notify me!"

Although a bit embarrassed, the shopkeeper immediately agreed: "Yes!"

Naturally, she didn't know that Mrs. Wumu had returned to the city.

In the following time, Chen Zheng, who no longer had to search around every day, relaxed, and spent most of his time focusing on cultivation.

Compared with his ease, as the deadline approached, Liu Yuanming, the supervisor and even the commander, became more and more anxious.

The ten-day period has expired.

This afternoon.

Liu Yuanming, with a bad complexion, summoned Chen Zheng alone, and went to the government office to report on his duties together.

Chen Zheng was curious, and after questioning, he found out that Ouyang Ji, the sheriff, specifically mentioned that he wanted to go along with Liu Yuanming when he summoned Liu Yuanming.

This undoubtedly made Chen Zheng even more surprised, not knowing why Ouyang Ji summoned him.

Obviously, the hundreds of people in the Supervision Department have gained nothing these days, and going there is definitely not a reward.

If there is nothing extra to say, the two immediately came to the government office to ask for a meeting.

In the government office, people came and went, not only the Supervision Department, but also relevant personnel from the Criminal Arrest Department and the Defense Force.

They were Wu Daorong, the chief arrester of the Criminal Arrest Division, whom Chen Zheng had dealt with once when he first came to Lingqiu County, and the other big man in armor was the newly promoted commander of the defense force, Hong Cheng.

After a while, everyone was invited to a meeting hall.

Liu Yuanming, the three leaders, did not communicate with each other, they waited silently, while Chen Zheng sat in the corner, hanging up high as nothing to do with himself.

"Your Majesty the Sheriff is here—"

After a while, after a high-pitched chants, Ouyang Ji walked in with his confidantes and staff, with majestic momentum.

Everyone present immediately saluted in unison:

"I have seen the Sheriff."

"Exemption."

Ouyang Ji waved his hand expressionlessly, sat down on the main seat, and looked around at everyone:

"The ten-day deadline has come. You are the pillars of my Lingqiu County. Can you tell me where are those monsters who intercepted and killed Xie Xie?"

Everyone was silent and speechless.

Ouyang Ji's majestic eyes swept over one by one:

"There are 270 and eight people in the supervision department, 320 in the criminal arrest department, and 8000 officers in the defense force. With so many people, can't even a few evil monsters be found?"

Liu Yuanming and the other three could only bow their heads and apologize:

"I am unable to do things well, and I am ashamed of the entrustment of the county magistrate, please punish me."

"Please, Lord Sheriff, come down!"

Seeing everyone's attitude, Ouyang Ji's eyes softened a little:

"The matter of punishment and punishment will be discussed later. Who can tell me now, are those monsters still in the city?"

Everyone looked at each other, Hong Cheng pondered for a moment, and replied:
"According to the information provided by the Executioner, the remains of the demons they took away are quite large and inconvenient to carry. In the past few days, the gates and sections of the city walls of our defense forces have been strictly guarded, and no abnormalities have been found.

From this, it can be judged that those monsters are still hiding somewhere in the city in all likelihood, waiting for the opportunity to escape out of the city. "

Liu Yuanming nodded again and again: "That's right, I think so too."

Ouyang Ji glanced at him, and said calmly: "Then, what can the supervisory department do to lure the snake out of the hole and lure this group of people out?"

Liu Yuanming's eyes showed embarrassment: "This, sorry for my stupidity, I haven't thought of it for the time being."

Ouyang Ji did not continue to persecute, but just sighed:
"Everyone, don't blame me for being harsh. The whereabouts of this group of monsters is really important. Captain Nie is still in retreat to heal his wounds, and the situation is unknown. Such a big incident happened in Lingqiu County, and the Lord Shepherd of the state has sent a letter to hold him accountable , if you can’t come up with an explanation, everyone here, including me, will have a hard time.”

Everyone looked at each other and could only speak:

"My lord, can you allow some more time?"

"Ten days is too short. Those monsters will definitely wait for the limelight to pass before trying to leave the city. That's the time to catch them all!"

"Give us another month, and within a month, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

Ouyang Ji pondered for a moment:
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll give you another month. If you're still as clueless as you are today, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Liu Yuanming and others bowed and agreed:
"Don't worry, Lord Sheriff, we will definitely do our best!"

In the corner, seeing this scene, Chen Zheng secretly laughed in his heart.

Qi Gang and the others, who made everyone present terrified, have now been buried in mass graves. It is impossible to wait for them another ten months, let alone one month.

He was very curious about what Liu Yuanming and the others could offer to Ouyang Ji after the one-month period expired.

There was nothing to say next, and Ouyang Ji ended the meeting after asking a few more questions.

But before the crowd dispersed, he specially left Chen Zheng alone, which attracted the attention of others.

Including Liu Yuanming himself, he was both envious and jealous, as if he wished he could stay behind.

Curiosity is curiosity, but no one dares to say anything more.

After everyone went out, Chen Zheng was neither humble nor overbearing: "I don't know if the governor summoned the humble officer, what orders do you have?"

At this moment, Ouyang Ji smiled gently, completely different from his previous attitude towards everyone:

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the last time the flying centipede attacked the city, the owner of the thunder field acted out of righteousness. Because of the chaotic situation, I haven't had time to thank you. I hope you can convey your gratitude to the owner of the thunder field when you go back."

Chen Zheng responded immediately: "The humble official must bring the words to you."

Ouyang Ji nodded with a smile, and continued to ask:

"I occasionally heard people say that you are actually not the distant nephew of the owner of Leichang, but his new fifth personal disciple. Is there such a thing?"

Because the matter of Teng Qilong had diverted Teng's suspicion, although he did not make a big deal of it, the news that Chen Zheng became Lei Yunting's fifth direct disciple was still made public in a small area.

The matter of identity has been prepared for a long time, Chen Zheng nodded:

"Your Majesty the Sheriff doesn't know that I am indeed Senior Lei's nephew from afar, and at the same time, Senior Lei favors me, so I am fortunate enough to be his disciple."

"I see."

Ouyang Ji suddenly nodded:
"So, your whole body ability is not completely taught by the master of Leichang? You have such a cultivation level at a young age. You are indeed a young talent, even better than I imagined."

Chen Zheng pretended to be modest: "Your Majesty the Sheriff is over-rewarded, and the ability to be humble is nothing."

Ouyang Ji smiled:

"Don't be self-effacing. I come from the Ouyang clan, so I'm well-informed. There are not many outstanding young people like you in the entire clan. Although Lingqiu County is a county town, it lives in a corner. Talented people should have a wider world in order to flex their muscles and stand out."

Ok?
Actually drew a big cake.
Is this trying to recruit me?
Chen Zheng heard the meaning of the other party's words, and cooperated with the performance:

"What the sheriff said is true, and the humble official thinks so too."

"very good."

Facing Chen Zheng's understanding, Ouyang Ji was very satisfied:
"What I cherish the most are real talents, and I don't hesitate to cultivate them. The pond of Lingqiu County and the Supervision Department is too small. As long as you do your best, I can give you a bigger world, and you want to Everything!"
