Chapter 630 The joy of reunion
Zhong Yuanzhi's request to enter the imperial city for search was naturally quickly rejected by Shangfeng.
"Are you crazy?" Shang Feng frowned and said, "I don't care about you. You go and talk to the general. If you can make sense, I admire you."
Zhong Yuanzhi clenched his fists. Seeing that Shang Feng had no intention of saying anything more, he respectfully bowed his hands and left.
He was not afraid to go to the general.
After all, the two of them have known each other for a long time. Will he be transferred to the Jinwu Guard because of the help of the general? Otherwise, he might have been transferred out of the capital long ago.
Jinwuwei General Han Xuan was studying quietly in the office at this time.
Although he is a general, he is wearing a big cloak and holding a feather fan in the snowy weather. He looks more like a frail scholar, and he still looks like a counselor who follows the general who protects the north.
Seeing Zhong Yuan coming, Han Xuan slowly put down his book, shook his feather fan gently, and waited for him to speak.
So Zhong Yuanzhi slowly talked about today's explosion in the Temple Mountain, and also mentioned the strange things he discovered.
"You think that the strange thing is in the Imperial City just because of the new spiritual weapon." General Han shook his head and said, "But that is just a new attempt after all. Based on this alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to apply for a search from the Imperial City."
"But it is the culprit that killed so many people, how can we let it go so easily?" Zhong Yuanyi emphasized stubbornly, "Moreover, if it is really hiding in the imperial city, it might attack the Holy One. During the Tang Dynasty..."
He hesitated for a moment, but finally said it.
I’m not saying that the Tang State is in danger, but saying: “Isn’t the Tang State completely falling into the hands of the temple?”
This sentence seemed to hit General Han's heart, and his eyes sank slightly.
"If I really apply, who will be responsible if I make a mistake?"
After listening to General Han's words, Zhong Yuanzhi frankly agreed: "My subordinates are willing to bear the responsibility."
"No, you can't afford it at all." General Han looked at him and said lightly, "Although the imperial city is not like a temple..."
He did not continue, the implication was clear enough.
Although the Imperial City has always been in the shadow of the temple, even the Holy Emperor has gradually become obsessed with cultivating the gods and has avoided going out. There are fewer morning visits.
But the Li royal family should not be offended.
Not to mention the old monsters lurking in the imperial city.
Moreover, the Li family is also protected by the mysterious dragon vein.
No one knows where the dragon veins are, except that they were used by Emperor Xuanwen to protect the royal family.
Everyone secretly guessed that this was the reason why the temple would still retain the imperial city and ostensibly respect the orthodox status of the Li family.
Zhong Yuanzhi's heart sank, and he finally lowered his head and remained silent.
Knowing Zhong Yuanzhi's unwillingness, General Han stood up and walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.
"There are some things that we cannot change, so it is better to turn a blind eye."
Zhong Yuanzhi gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
General Han continued: "As for this case, since you believe it is a strange thing that escaped from the temple, we might as well just follow it..."
Zhong Yuanzhi suddenly raised his head, "But what if we haven't caught the strange thing yet?"
"That is the responsibility of the temple." General Han said with deep meaning in his eyes, "If he is caught, it will be our credit."
Zhong Yuanzhi was confused: "But if it is really in the imperial city, how can we arrest him?"
"Who said we can't catch him?" General Han chuckled softly, "We don't have to worry about catching him now."
Zhong Yuanzhi was a little confused, "You mean..."
"It's normal that you don't know. Recently, Dali Temple and the temple have quietly cooperated and arrested many blasphemers." General Han said softly, "And they are a new type of blasphemer."
Zhong Yuanzhi's eyes lit up, "Are you saying that these blasphemers are like the so-called escaped monsters? They are sane and just like human beings?"
"Yes, that's exactly it." General Han nodded, "Or, you can call it a weirdo."
Zhong Yuanzhi looked at the strange energy detector in his hand, the light in his eyes blazing.
General Han smiled and said: "Today we also captured a father and daughter. Next, our Jinwu Guard will also move."
"But, doesn't this duplicate the work of the temple and Dali Temple?" Zhong Yuanzhi frowned.
"How could it be repeated? It is the responsibility of the Jinwu Guards to protect Chang'an. If there is any abnormality that disrupts public order, it is normal for us to take action." General Han said coldly, with a hint of forlornness flashing in his eyes.
He paused and his eyes became colder, "What's more, we have to prepare, hold such power in our own hands, and prepare a way out."
"The way out?" Zhong Yuanzhi was confused and confused.
"Yuanzhi, you don't need to know too much." General Han said in a low voice, "You just need to understand that times are changing, and we must always be prepared to deal with new changes."
"This is why I spent a lot of money to buy you this strange energy detector." General Han said, gently patting Zhong Yuanzhi on the shoulder, with deep expectations in his eyes.
"Anyway, we will have a lot of things to be busy with next. Don't let me live up to my expectations of you."
He paused and then added: "Ruan Mian...she also thinks highly of you."
Ruan Mian, Zhong Yuanzhi's former top leader - the general who protected the north.
She is also the wife of General Han.
Coming from General Han, these words are naturally credible and carry considerable weight.
Zhong Yuanzhi immediately held his head high and saluted as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood:
"My subordinates will immediately write a report on today's case and start the hunt for the Jinwu Guards... no, hunt for abnormal people who disrupt order!"
General Han nodded with satisfaction and watched Zhong Yuanzhi turn and leave.
As the sound of the clash of armors faded away, an ink-colored figure slowly appeared in the shadows in a corner of the room.
"Yes, you did a good job." The man's face was blurred, as if ink was flowing, and his voice was indistinguishable.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir." General Han turned around and respectfully handed over his hand.
"The end of the temple is near, we can start preparations." Mo Ying said softly.
"Yes!" General Han responded.
The ink-colored figure said with a slightly contented jaw:
"If you think about it, other forces will not suddenly appear and compete with us for this world..."
……
When Liu Sheng woke up, he felt a chill all over his body.
My ears still felt like they were buzzing from the explosion, and my vision was blurry.
There was still a dull pain from the aftermath of the explosion all over his body.
Is she still alive?
[Yes, we are still alive. 】
"Shengsheng, are you awake?"
At this time, a familiar voice came, and Liu Sheng felt a little confused.
[Why is she here? 】
[No... no planets fell? 】
Immediately afterwards, a blurry figure suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes.
Liu Sheng blinked, and after a while he gradually adapted to the dimness in front of his eyes, his vision gradually became clearer, and his outline gradually closed.
"Are you Qiao Yu?" Liu Sheng frowned.
The person in front of him had a square face that looked even darker in the dim light. Only one pair of eyes were particularly bright. His hair was short. In this era, I am afraid that very few people would have such a hairstyle.
When the other party heard Liu Sheng call out his name, his bright eyes lit up even more.
"Shengsheng? Are you the Shengsheng I... know?"
Liu Sheng naturally knew what she was referring to, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am the Liu Sheng you know."
Qiao Yu was immediately excited, her joyful smile almost overflowing from her eyes, and she immediately hugged Liu Sheng.
Those thick arms were like iron hoops, almost suffocating Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng coughed a few times, and then Qiao Yu let her go angrily.
At this time, an old and weak voice sounded from the side: "Okay, let's not play riddles for now. Please tell me first, where are we?"
Liu Sheng looked sideways and saw that Mrs. Su was also awake.
She was clutching her chest and coughing, with a trace of blood hanging from the corner of her mouth.
When the explosion occurred, Liu Sheng reacted instinctively and only had time to wrap the two of them with layers of small tentacles.
However, the man who installed the explosive device was too vicious and determined to kill with one strike. Therefore, the power of the explosion was so great that although the protection of the small tentacles barely saved the lives of the two of them, it still could not completely protect them from high-heat burns, concussive aftermath, and force. The influence of strong light and sound.
As a result, she lost vision and hearing, suffered concussion damage to her internal organs, and even fainted due to a concussion.
I think it was during the time when they fainted that Qiao Yu found them and quietly moved them here.
"So, where is this place?" Liu Sheng asked, rubbing his temples and shaking his still dizzy head.
Qiao Yu replied calmly: "This is the underground of the imperial city."
