Chapter 144: There is an enemy at night, and the Eastern religion is in a dream!
The moon and stars are sparse.
It's approaching May.
The weather in Jiangnan has also begun to slowly experience a heat wave.
However, it was already evening, and there was already a faint cool breeze blowing.
In a dense forest, two fast horses shuttled through the forest like sharp arrows.
"Oh!"
The leader reined in the horse and looked forward with a deep gaze.
This person's straight hair is scattered on the shoulders and back like a waterfall, bright yellow and elegant.
Like wheat straw.
He waved his spotless white sleeves and said to the person behind him:
"Brother Quan Fu, please rest here tonight. No matter how anxious you and I are, we still have to think about the horses."
The man behind him looked a little childish, but if he looked carefully, he was deeply attracted by his bright red phoenix eyes.
His face was sharp and angular, and he wore a high ponytail tied casually behind his back, with only a strand of sea in front of his forehead.
These two people were Zeng Anmin and Bai Ziqing who traveled all the way south from Beijing without stopping.
The meeting ends on the same day.
The next day, before Zeng Anmin went to look for Bai Ziqing, he came to the house and told him to take Zeng Anmin south with him.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and the two hit it off.
Then he found two fast horses and came towards Liangjiang County at great speed.
This journey of searching has already reached the fourth day.
Zeng Anmin rubbed his swollen temples.
There was exhaustion on his face.
Even though his true strength is in the sixth-grade Cave Void Realm, his body can't stand it.
He looked south and murmured:
"This place is still more than three hundred miles away from Liangjiang County. Let's take a short rest and continue our journey early tomorrow morning. We will try to reach Liangjiang before sunset tomorrow."
"Yeah."
Bai Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, it didn't matter to him. When he was promoted to the fourth level, every function of his body had undergone obvious transformation compared to before the fourth level.
Before the fourth level, it was still "ordinary."
But after the fourth level, it can already be called "extraordinary".
Not to mention the rush of the past few days, even if Bai Ziqing comes back for a few more days, it doesn't matter.
He was afraid that Zeng Anmin wouldn't be able to hold on.
In his eyes, Zeng Anmin's physical fitness was already among the best among Confucianism cultivators.
But I have been on the road without sleep for several days.
It definitely can't hold up.
"Hoo~"
The two found a wasteland, pitched their tent, and then found a riverside to fill the kettle with a lot of water.
After setting up a firewood, we chatted for a while.
"Crackling."
The firewood beside me made a reassuring sound in the night.
"Trick~"
Zeng Anmin skillfully tore off a piece of chicken leg from the roasted chicken.
Then he sprinkled some seasoning on the porcelain bottle he took out from his arms.
"No."
After handing it to Bai Ziqing, he began to eat happily.
“Delicious!!”
After Bai Ziqing tasted it, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Can it still be baked like this?"
"Stop talking nonsense, take a rest after eating and then set off."
Zeng Anmin really couldn't resist feeling sleepy.
After he finished eating, he went directly into the tent and closed his eyes.
"Hoo~"
A long-lost sense of relaxation.
Zeng Anmin's mind did not stop.
Lying there, thinking.
"I'm coming in too."
After Bai Ziqing extinguished the flame, he smiled and sheepishly got into Zeng Anmin's tent.
"What are you doing?"
Zeng Anmin glanced at Bai Ziqing warily.
"I can't sleep, so I'll keep vigil here for you."
Bai Ziqing couldn't help but lie down with Zeng Anmin.
……
Zeng Anmin didn't say much, his eyes were deep and he closed his eyes again.
He thought slowly.
First of all, Huang Yuangao was the newly appointed governor of Liangjiang.
His death was really strange.
Although I only had a rough understanding of the dossier from my father.
Zeng Anmin could still feel the thief's strength, but it wasn't very strong.
First of all, only Zeng Anmin and his father knew the truth about Black Cat Takefu.
Black Cat Takeo's true identity is himself.
After the thief killed someone, he disguised the scene as if it was done by Black Cat Takeo.
This was a signal for Zeng Anmin.
In other words, the thief wanted to deviate from the direction of the case and induce the world to target Black Cat Takeo.
This also shows from the side that the thief does not want, or dare not, expose himself.
It's very simple, if the thief is strong enough.
He simply didn’t want to eat beef.
What else did you do to frame him?
"Hulu~"
Zeng Anmin just thought about it for a few moments.
Then he heard Bai Ziqing's loud snoring.
"Aren't you going to keep vigil for me?"
Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched.
"Brother Quan Fu... no... can't be like this..."
Bai Ziqing's intermittent murmurs came from his sleep.
?
Zeng Anmin's face instantly darkened.
He didn't bother to ask any more questions, so he turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Zeng Anmin's ears suddenly moved while he was sleeping.
His eyes opened suddenly.
The pair of red phoenix eyes flashed with extremely vigilant light in the darkness.
There's movement! !
He tried to control his breathing.
A rustling sound came from outside the tent.
Zeng Anmin squinted his eyes, feeling something was wrong.
He sat up suddenly and looked at Bai Ziqing.
At this time, Bai Ziqing was sleeping soundly.
Like a dead pig.
What's going on? ?
Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes.
No matter what happens at night, it is absolutely impossible for him to be more vigilant than Bai Ziqing!
Bai Ziqing, a fourth-grade warrior, is infinitely better than himself!
How could it be possible that he was still sleeping when he was awakened? ? !
Weird!
Zeng Anmin worked hard to control his breathing rate.
Then he slowly circulated the martial arts aura in his body.
The aura of martial arts slowly surged onto his face.
His five senses became clearer.
Only then did he see it.
At this time, Bai Ziqing's face flashed with pain.
There is still a hint of black air surrounding the temples.
"Click~"
An extremely striking sound came from outside the tent.
Zeng Anmin heard clearly.
This is the sound of shoes breaking branches.
Someone! !
plot!
Zeng Anmin squinted his eyes and calmly changed his position in the tent.
The body curled up together and squatted.
A handaxe also appeared silently in his hand.
This position is extremely convenient for exerting force.
He waited patiently.
"Pap, tap."
The footsteps of people outside became increasingly clear.
finally.
Zeng Anmin saw a black shadow covering the tent.
"Whoosh!"
The moment the tent door was opened.
Zeng Anmin's eyes burst out with extremely strong murderous intent.
"Chirp!!"
The cold light of the ax flashed in the dark night, making people afraid to look directly at it.
An extremely strange arc was drawn from Zeng Anmin's hand toward the outside of the tent.
“Bang!!!”
The ax came into contact with an extremely hard object.
"Ding!!"
The object only blocked it for a moment before being chopped off by the sharp axe.
"Stab!!" The entire tent was instantly exploded by the martial arts aura in Zeng Anmin's body.
He jumped out of the tent.
The martial arts aura locked crazily on the body of the man outside.
"Shua!!"
Another ax light flashed up.
But it was empty.
"Whoosh~"
Zeng Anmin could only see the man's back floating towards the distance at an extremely fast speed.
In just a moment, Zeng Anmin's eyes could no longer capture the man's back.
"Running pretty fast!"
Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the man running away in a hurry.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
But I didn’t catch up as soon as I got hot.
According to the other party's ghostly speed.
It would be difficult for him to catch up, and Bai Ziqing couldn't be left here without any care at this time.
Who is coming?
What's the purpose of coming?
Zeng Anmin looked at the direction in which the figure disappeared and pondered for a long time.
It was obvious that the other party was here for him and Bai Ziqing.
But choosing to rest here today was entirely a spur-of-the-moment decision by the two of them.
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.
"In other words, this person has been waiting for us since we entered Jiangnan."
Is this a planned assassination?
"Or is it that he has been following us since we came out of the capital?"
Who sent him?
A series of doubts emerged in Zeng Anmin's mind.
At this time, Zeng Anmin was no longer sleepy at all.
He looked at the tent that he had chopped into pieces.
And Bai Ziqing, who was still lying there sound asleep.
"Get up."
Zeng Anmin patted Bai Ziqing's face with his hand.
"Hulu~"
Bai Ziqing slept deeply.
Zeng Anmin frowned.
"Stay away from me! Bai is not a womanizer!"
"Brother Quan Fu...please..."
"Let's keep drinking!"
"Good wine..."
Bai Ziqing was still mumbling.
What is he dreaming about?
The corners of Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched.
But the next moment, his eyes narrowed.
Oriental religious methods?
He looked at the black energy lingering around Bai Ziqing's temples, his eyes sparkling with thought.
Jiang Guo's Eastern religion has a magical method of dreaming into a picture book. One coin of longevity can be exchanged for a whole night of happiness and a lot of money.
"It's time to wake up."
Zeng Anmin's slap hit Bai Ziqing's face again.
Bai Ziqing is still sleeping.
"Could it be this kind of black energy?"
Zeng Anmin paused as he looked at the black energy wrapping around Bai Ziqing's temples.
Then he stretched out his fingers thoughtfully.
"Uh-huh."
A touch of lavender aura of awe-inspiring righteousness emerged from the tips of his fingers.
"Haoran's righteousness is extremely restrained against all evil spirits in the world."
Zeng Anmin's fingers slowly approached Bai Ziqing's temple.
"Chi~"
Sure enough, after his finger came into contact with the black air.
The black energy is like encountering evil spirits shining under the sun, with nowhere to hide.
Soon he was corrupted by Haoran's righteousness.
The pain on Bai Ziqing's face slowly faded away.
Zeng Anmin crossed his arms and stood there slowly waiting for Bai Ziqing to wake up.
"Hmm~"
Russian qing.
Bai Ziqing opened his eyes fiercely.
"Brother Quan Fu!!"
He suddenly sat up from the ground, and then breathed heavily.
Then, he met Zeng Anmin's expressionless gaze.
"This is..."
Bai Ziqing's eyes flickered with doubt.
He looked around.
He blinked in confusion.
The tent was completely shattered.
There was a mess all around.
"You just fell into a deep sleep and you couldn't wake up no matter how you screamed."
Zeng Anmin looked at Bai Ziqing in a deep voice and said:
"We're being targeted."
Bai Ziqing's face instantly turned serious.
With a tap of his toes, he stood up from the ground.
He stood there and thought for a long time.
Then he looked at Zeng Anmindao with a very serious look;
"Dream into the catalogue. I just had a vague feeling in my dream that I was in a dream, but I couldn't wake up when I wanted to... This is a method of dreaming in the Eastern religion system."
"Yeah."
Zeng Anmin nodded slowly: "Fortunately, I have the righteousness to protect me. Otherwise, you and I would be in danger tonight."
Of course, it may not be the reason for Haoran's righteousness.
Rather, it has something to do with his golden finger [the unyielding Martial God, immune to all spiritual and soul attacks].
"It's just this..."
Bai Ziqing looked at the mess around him. He looked at Zeng Anmin suspiciously and asked:
"With all the traces of fighting around here, how can you, as a Confucian cultivator, be safe?"
"Uh."
Zeng Anmin's face froze slightly.
Then he waved his hand nonchalantly and said:
"I have a friend in the Xuanzhen Division. He applied several force formations on me."
"That's it!" Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked as if he had guessed something:
"Is it true that you have a close relationship with Sai Chuxue of the Xuanzhen Division??"
"Who did you listen to?"
Zeng Anmin's brows knitted together tightly.
“It’s spread all over the capital!”
While packing up the tent on the ground, Bai Ziqing walked towards the horses, turned towards Zeng Anmin and said:
"In this Illusion Formation Imperial Examination, you created a wonderful military formation in the formation. When you boosted morale, you said that you have a good relationship with Xuan Formation Chief Sai Chuxue."
"If you ask me to tell you, stop hiding. Seriously, you are like the girl from Xuanzhen Division..."
Bai Ziqing couldn't think of the right words for a moment, so he just looked at Zeng Anmin with raised eyebrows and gossip.
……
The corner of Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched, he rolled his eyes and ignored him:
"Let's go quickly, hurry up and enter Liangjiang County. I'm afraid something will happen if we are too late."
After saying that, Zeng Anmin got on his horse.
His legs were in stirrups, and he waved the long whip in his hand:
"Drive!!"
…………
The sun rises slowly.
When the sun radiates its unique warmth from the river.
Two fast horses stopped outside the gate of Liangjiang County.
Zeng Anmin looked deeply at the familiar city gate in front of him.
An inexplicable emotion emerged in his heart.
"Liangjiang County."
At this time, three months had passed since he left Liangjiang County and entered Beijing.
So many things have happened in these three months.
From the East Palace assessment, to the Qi Wang case, to the Lou Tong poisoning case, and later the Ren Weizhi case.
Until the current Huang Yuangao case.
In just three months.
Zeng Anmin felt that he had experienced something magnificent that no one else could experience in their lifetime.
"Enter the city."
The two of them were now dressed in costumes, outfits, and battle formations.
It doesn't look like an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court at all.
It's more like a knight errant.
So when entering the city, the interrogating soldiers carefully searched the documents of the two of them bit by bit.
"By the way, when will the people from the Imperial City Department arrive?"
The two entered the city and dismounted, leading their own horses.
Zeng Anmin asked Bai Ziqing with a sideways glance.
"I don't know, they estimate it will take half a month?"
Bai Ziqing curled his lips.
In fact, when Bai Ziqing came to Liangjiang County to handle a case, the Imperial City Department also sent people to follow him.
But both Zeng Anmin and Bai Ziqing knew that time was urgent.
Therefore, I did not deliberately wait.
He came directly towards Liangjiang County first.
After hurrying along the way, we traveled south from Beijing to Liangjiang County in less than four days.
"Okay."
