Chapter 243 Targeting
"Lead the way to Yunduan County."
At Chen Tang's urging, Li Jin and the four government officials left the open space and found their respective mounts.
Monk Keren saw that Chen Tang had a distinguished status and was holding a gold medal bestowed by the emperor. He felt that there might be hope for his fellow disciples to be rescued, so he rode on a horse with a government officer and headed towards Yunduan County.
Along the way, Li Jin asked a few indirect questions.
Anyone who wanted to find out more about Chen Tang was fooled by his few words.
After walking for less than half a day, they had arrived outside Yunduan County.
Because of the poisonous porridge incident before, the refugees here have already dispersed.
The guards on the city wall recognized Li Jin, opened the door and let a few people in.
Several people were walking on the streets in the city, and Chen Tang looked around.
Although county towns like Yunduan County are large and small, they are generally not much different from Wu'an County.
The county governor is considered the lord of a city. He has county lieutenants under his command and is in charge of the government office and the city defense army.
Chen Tang's imperial token has a great deterrent effect on people like the county guard.
However, there are two major forces in Yun Duan County, which may not be within this scope.
Xuantian Temple and Qinglong Division.
If you want to use the officers and soldiers of the county guard to investigate Xuantian Temple, you will definitely encounter great resistance.
Mobilizing Qinglong Division is even more unrealistic.
It would be a good idea if Qinglongsi didn't intervene to obstruct it.
At this moment, Chen Tang's heart moved, and he saw a subtle symbol engraved on the horse bolt outside an inn.
Qilin Division had just been founded not long ago, and it didn't have many people, not enough money, and no fixed locations anywhere.
Whenever something goes wrong, Qilin Division is dispatched from the capital.
This is the mark left by Kirinji.
Chen Tang said to Li Jin next to him: "You go back and recover first. I will stay in this inn. As for this case, I will rest for a few days and recharge my batteries before making arrangements."
Li Jinting smiled and said: "Why don't you go to the house to rest? When the county governor learns that the imperial envoy is coming, he will definitely prepare a banquet and welcome you. This kind of inn is a bit crude."
"No need to bother."
Chen Tang waved his hand and said: "When I have rested enough, I will go to my house to find the Yunduan County Sheriff."
Li Jin said: "Okay, I will go back and resume my duties immediately. If anything happens, my lord, just give me your orders."
After several officials left, Monk Keren couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Sir, my elder brother is in prison now. If we delay it for a few days, I don't know if..."
"I have my own arrangements."
Chen Tang looked calm and took Monk Keren into the inn.
After taking out some silver and arranging two rooms, he first asked Monk Keren to go in and rest, and then he wandered around the inn.
Not long after, his ears moved and he faintly heard a conversation.
"Jingtou, brothers have already found out about this matter. It was Ye Zhi, the leader of Xuantian Temple. He did not leave the city at that time, but stood on the city wall. His flying sword was stained with poison and he controlled the flying sword to stir in the porridge. ”
"Yes, there was a guard who saw it with his own eyes at that time, but he was afraid of the power of the Xuantian Sect and did not dare to come forward to testify."
In "Arhat's Demon Subduing Technique", there is a move known as the Tian'er style.
After practicing, Chen Tang's ear power far surpassed that of others.
Coupled with the blessing of Tingfeng Jue, even if he was far away, Chen Tang could still clearly hear the muffled conversations of several people in the room while concentrating.
The master of Xuantian Temple in this county is probably at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm.
The range of controlling the flying sword can reach up to ten feet.
At a distance of ten feet, it is difficult to control a flying sword to hurt someone, but it is still easy to stir poison into porridge.
"The key point in this matter is Xuantian Temple. If Xuantian Temple is not solved, there will be no way to reverse the case."
"How to solve it? Qinglong Division and Xuantian Sect have long been the same pair of pants." "With our current manpower, neither party can move."
"In my opinion, let's just postpone it and wait and see what happens in the capital. If the Holy One can hold on, and we have the Holy One's blessing, we can do anything. If the Holy One...sigh."
At this moment, the sound in the room suddenly disappeared.
The seven people inside seemed to be aware of it. They all looked in the direction of the door and touched the weapons on their waists with their palms.
"Dong dong dong!"
The next moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
Someone in the room asked softly with a face as deep as water.
"I'm from the capital, sorry to bother you."
Chen Tang's voice came in.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"You've got the wrong person!"
Several people in the room looked at each other and ordered them to be kicked out.
The leader frowned slightly and let out a sigh. The voice outside the door sounded familiar.
The man said in a deep voice: "Friend, wait a moment."
After saying that, the man stepped forward to open the door, and then quickly backed away, showing a defensive posture.
Seeing Chen Tang at the door, the man's eyes lit up with surprise on his face, and he quickly asked: "My little brother is a liger in the capital..."
Chen Tang made a silent gesture, walked into the room, turned around and closed the door tightly.
"What do you call this lord?"
Chen Tang saw that this man was in his thirties, and the temples on both sides of his forehead were slightly bulging. He had obviously reached the fourth level of cultivation.
This should be the leader of this group of Qilin Guards, an official rank captain. Chen Tang then asked: "Do you recognize me?"
"I'm nameless in the lower Jing."
The man clasped his fists and said: "More than a month ago, I had the honor to see Brother Chen in the capital... Ah, no, it must be Mr. Chen's method. I am deeply impressed."
"You're welcome, sir."
Chen Tang exchanged greetings.
Jing Wuming quickly introduced himself to several people in the room and said: "This is the Liger Arhat Chen Tang that I mentioned to my brothers. He is also the current Crown Prince's Taibao! It was precisely because of Mr. Chen's action that the young barbarian was shot Kill and protect my Daqian’s honor!”
Several Qilin Guards looked serious and stood up to salute.
After all, the crown prince's Taibao is a first-class official position.
Chen Tang cupped his hands and said, "I no longer have any official position. You are all older than me. You can call me Chen Tang or Brother Chen."
"Chen Da...Brother Chen."
Jing Wuming asked: "How did you leave Beijing and arrive here?"
Chen Tang took out the imperial token from his arms and said: "I have the emperor's order to come to investigate the flood in Qingzhou. I just heard what you guys talked about, and I still have two doubts in my mind. I want to ask you about it. .”
Seeing the token given by the emperor, Jing Wuming and others were refreshed!
Several people looked at each other and were secretly speechless.
They were talking in low voices just now, but they didn't even realize that Chen Tang was eavesdropping outside!
Chen Tang asked: "What is the purpose of Master Xuantian in doing this kind of thing? Is it just targeting Changqing Temple? Have similar incidents happened in other places in Qingzhou?"
Chen Tang was worried about one thing.
If there is only one case of this matter, it may be just an accidental incident targeting Changqing Temple.
If similar cases occur in various parts of Qingzhou, then Buddhism may be targeted behind this incident!
Although the development of Buddhism in Qian Kingdom is far less than that of Nanxia, it is still considered a force and its influence is not small.
