"Is it because some ministers didn't go home, so we missed it? Or is it because he hides too deeply that we didn't realize his identity." Duanmu Yu looked at Wei Ling suspiciously.

"This possibility is very small, Duanmu, doesn't the person you mentioned have specific characteristics?" Wei Ling asked.

"Let me think about it." Duanmu Yu hurriedly recalled the content of the novel, but the details of the novel have long been blurred after too much time has passed.Duanmuyu regretted it very much. If he knew that he was so passive now, when he saw Pea before, he should have asked the name of that mysterious strong man.

Seeing that Duanmuyu was in a hurry, Wei Ling could only say, "Don't worry, we will search one by one in the evening, and all the ministers should be at the house by then."

"Ok."

At night, lights were turned on in thousands of households. Like thieves, Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling sneaked into the minister's residence, and then carefully identified whether the minister was the person they were looking for.In order to prevent the expert from hiding too deeply, Duanmuyu also deliberately released his soul power to attack the minister secretly.Those who have been recruited will feel a momentary tingling in their minds, but it will not cause harm to their bodies.

The person Duanmu Yu was looking for was a soul cultivator. Even if he hid his cultivation, his mind was still full of soul power.If he was attacked suddenly, there would definitely be a reaction, so Duanmu Yu used this method to test whether the minister was the person they were looking for.

When one family failed, they hurriedly changed to the next one. After visiting all the residences of Wenchen, Duanmuyu and Wei Ling went to the general's residence.

"I think I misunderstood at the beginning. Although that person is gentle and elegant, he is not necessarily a civil servant. With such a high level of cultivation, he can be a military general." On the way, Duanmuyu overturned his previous conjecture, and quickly turned to Wei Ling. Said.

"I hope you're right."

They entered the general's house one by one, watched each general secretly, but they still didn't find the person they were looking for.The military generals are all burly, and they have nothing to do with gentleness. Duanmuyu remembers that the word "face is like a crown jade" seems to be used in the novel, and this word is enough to rule out generals.

After coming out of the last minister's house, it was already dawn, and Duanmu Yu leaned against the wall, feeling exhausted.In one night, he and Wei Ling went to the mansions of more than 200 ministers, and the workload was worse than a fight.

After resting for a while, Duanmu Yu asked: "Do you think we have missed someone?"

"Maybe, don't worry, since he is in this city, we will definitely find him."

Duanmuyu didn't have a clue for a while, so he had to leave the house with Wei Ling first, and when they walked to the street, it was already daylight.

When he saw a noodle shop in front of him, he simply dragged Wei Ling over: "It doesn't matter, let's eat the noodles first, and then think of a way after we finish eating."

"Okay." Wei Ling was very anxious, but it was useless to be anxious now, so he had no choice but to agree with Duanmu Yu's words.

The two ordered two bowls of noodles, trying to find someone while eating.

There were more and more people on the street, and Duanmu Yu occasionally heard a few words from Mr. Qi, and then he remembered what his servant said, as if he would behead a Mr. Shangshu surnamed Qiao today.

Duanmu Yu doubted: Could this minister be the one they were looking for?

He shook his head, thinking that his idea was ridiculous. The strong man in the novel was an official, how could he be a prisoner now?

"What's wrong with you, what are you thinking?" Wei Ling asked quickly seeing Duanmu Yu shaking his head.

"Nothing, I just thought my idea was funny."

Wei Ling couldn't help showing a smile, and wanted to touch Duanmu Yu's head again, when he saw four people suddenly appearing on the street, the smile on his face froze instantly: "Let's go!" Wei Ling hurriedly pulled Duanmu Yu Jump out of the window.

"Catch them!" Deputy Hall Master Jiang said gloomily.

Vice-Hall Master Jiang's current mood is the same as his face. After leaving Liujin Desert, he asked people to hold Wei Ling's portrait and search for Wei Ling's whereabouts everywhere.Finally, he got a clue from an innkeeper. Knowing that Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling were heading towards the capital, he took his men day and night, hoping to catch Wei Ling as soon as possible.

As a result, because they did not conceal their identities as monks, they were quickly stopped by a pair of soul warriors.Vice-Hall Master Jiang maintained that his cultivation was advanced, so he didn't pay attention to these two people, and in the end, he knew it was a deal when they fought. These two monks who looked younger than him turned out to be strong in the early stage of manifesting their holiness.

However, the two of them had only entered the Holy Stage for a short time, and they couldn't beat Vice Hall Master Jiang alone, but their joint attacks were very powerful.Vice-Hall Master Jiang was injured, and finally sacrificed some of his subordinates before escaping with only three people.

Later, Vice-Hall Master Jiang didn't dare to push him any further, so he had to hide his cultivation and search for Wei Ling like an ordinary person.The time of searching made Vice Hall Master Jiang's heart more and more angry. He made up his mind that this time he would never leave anyone alive.

Now that he finally saw Wei Ling, he quickly chased after Wei Ling and Duanmu Yu.However, in order not to attract the previous pair of soul martial monks, Vice Hall Master Jiang and his subordinates did not dare to reveal their identities as monks.

Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling were relieved when they saw that Deputy Hall Master Jiang and others did not use the exercises, knowing that Deputy Hall Master Jiang was afraid of the managers of the restricted area.They took advantage of this and kept running to crowded places, using the people coming and going to help stop Vice Hall Master Jiang and others.

As they ran forward, they found that there were more and more people on the street. Only then did they realize that they were parading in the street.

"Master Qiao is such a good person, how could he collude with the enemy and treason?" Duanmu Yu heard some people say this when he was running away quickly.

Taking advantage of the crowd, Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling hurriedly hid in a restaurant. They went directly to the empty room on the second floor, and they breathed a sigh of relief.Wei Ling looked down through the crack of the window and saw people from Beiwumen looking for them nearby.But now that the prison van had arrived, it was the time when the crowds were the densest, so the people from Beiwumen could only be in a hurry.

Vice Hall Master Jiang stood under the eaves, feeling even worse. He knew that Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling were hiding nearby, and if he delayed, he would let them run away again.

"Master, what should we do now? There are too many people here!" The subordinate asked anxiously.

Vice-Hall Master Jiang frowned. He was afraid of chasing his soul martial monks, but he was also under tremendous pressure from the head of Beiwu Sect.He quickly made up his mind, and immediately released the powerful force to sense everything around him.

"No, let's go!" Wei Ling immediately pulled Duanmu Yu away.

Duanmu Yu was looking at what the so-called Master Qiao looked like, but the prison car had gone far away, and all he saw was a back.But when Jiang Futang took the initiative to use force, the person who was motionless in the prison car immediately looked back, which also allowed Duanmu Yu to see his side face.

Duanmu Yu's heart stopped suddenly, and before he could speak, Wei Ling dragged him away from the restaurant.

"Wei Ling, let's go after the prison van, the person in the van is the one we're looking for!"

"What did you say!" Wei Ling was incredulous, but at this moment Vice-Hall Leader Jiang had discovered their spiritual power fluctuations, and Wei Ling hurriedly took Duanmu Yu to escape into the crowd.

According to Duanmu Yu's and Wei Ling's two fluctuations in spiritual power, Vice-Hall Master Jiang hurriedly led people to chase after him, faintly gathering strength in his hands, and was about to hit Wei Ling.

"People from Beiwumen." At this moment, a man and a woman suddenly jumped upstairs on the side of the street.

When Deputy Head Jiang saw them, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly ran into the crowd, and so did his subordinates.

The two people who appeared suddenly were the ones who injured Vice Hall Master Jiang before. The young man among them wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the woman: "Don't chase, let's wait at the Meridian Gate first."

"Okay, dare to act wildly in Chen Guo, wait until today's matter is over, and see how I deal with them." The man clasped his palms hard and made a clicking sound.

……

Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling ran for a while, and they were relieved when they found that the people from Beiwumen hadn't chased them.Wei Ling pulled Duan Muyu into a remote alley, and quickly asked, "How can you be sure that the person in the prison van is the person you are looking for?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but I had such an intuition when I saw his side face. And when the people of Beiwumen used force, he looked back on purpose." Duanmuyu said hastily.

"Duanmu, you know our current situation, we have no time to delay."

Duanmu Yu nodded again and again: "I know, Wei Ling, we must verify his identity. We have eliminated so many ministers last night. He may really be the person we are looking for."

Wei Ling's expression was very solemn, he remembered that the boy had said that this official surnamed Qiao was the person who best fit Duanmu Yu's description.He nodded decisively: "Let's go, let's go find him."

Duanmu Yu hurriedly followed Wei Ling out of the alley, and then chased in the direction of the prison car, but because of a delay, the prison car had already arrived at the square in front of the Meridian Gate.When the two of them came over, a lot of onlookers gathered here, and many of Chen Guo's imperial troops also came, maintaining order at the scene.

Duanmu Yu saw Mr. Qiao in the prison car, being escorted by the soldiers and walking slowly towards the platform in front of the Meridian Gate, and the people around him started talking about it.It seems that Mr. Qiao is a good official who is diligent and caring for the people, and it is absolutely impossible for him to do anything to collude with the enemy and treason the country.

"Duanmu, his charm may really be the strong man you said." Wei Ling found that although Master Qiao was a prisoner, he was very indifferent from the beginning to the end, and he did not look like a prisoner at all.

Duanmu Yu nodded, but he still wanted to find an opportunity to verify Master Qiao's identity.

At this time, Mrs. Qiao had been escorted to the stage, and then he was kicked in the hollow of his knee, making him kneel down.At the back of the table stood the officials of the Chen Kingdom, while in the center sat the respected emperor and concubines of the Chen Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the time is coming soon." The supervisor said to the emperor.

The emperor's stern face was expressionless, his eyes looked at the kneeling man, and he said slowly, "Qiao Xi, are you guilty?"

"I'm not guilty." Qiao Xi said calmly.

Unlike all the people who faced death, Qiao Xi seemed very calm. Even when he was kneeling, he still carried a kind of natural nobility.His gaze was very soft, and his expression was very calm. There was an indescribable loss hidden in his eyes looking at the emperor.

Seeing Qiao Xi and the emperor staring at each other, the noble concubine sitting next to the emperor couldn't sit still, she said quickly: "Your Majesty, all criminals will not take the initiative to admit their guilt, but the doubts in the frontier and the harem all point to Qiao Xi. grown ups."

The emperor's face was a bit ugly, but after seeing Qiao Xi's still indifferent expression, he couldn't help feeling angry.

At this time, the supervisor reminded again: "Your Majesty, the time has come."

Only then did the emperor take the command arrow handed over by the supervisor, and he looked at Qiao Xi again: "I'll give you one last chance to tell the truth about everything."

"Your Majesty, give the order."

Qiao Xi's words made the emperor feel stuck. In fact, the emperor still had a little bit of reluctance to Qiao Xi, but Qiao Xi's attitude made it hard for him to let go.

Just when the emperor was about to throw the command arrow, Duanmu Yu quickly jumped out from the crowd: "Wait a minute." He quickly approached Qiao Xi, and at the same time released a soul attack on Qiao Xi, Qiao Xi frowned slightly, and all souls When the force was close to his skin, it all disappeared.

Duanmuyu's sudden intrusion surprised all the people present, and a general immediately came out and shouted: "Who is it? Catch him!" The soldiers quickly pointed their guns at Duanmuyu. They thought Duanmuyu was a robber. field people.

Wei Ling quickly used the flying eagle martial arts, broke into the crowd, and protected Duanmu Yu behind him.Duanmuyu knew that Wei Ling would be able to stop these soldiers, so he came to the stage with confidence and said excitedly, "Senior, we finally found you."

The scene in front of him made everyone present feel unspeakably weird.Duanmuyu is less than 20 years old, and Qiaoxi is also in his 20s. Duanmuyu is called Qiaoxi senior, which makes many people surprised.But Chen Guo officials didn't care about this, they immediately asked soldiers to surround Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling.The archers on the palace wall were also ready, and the arrows in their hands were pointed at Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling.

"Who are you?" Qiao Xi saw that Duanmu Yu had come prepared, and seemed to know his true identity.

"Senior, you don't know me, but you know him," Duanmu Yu said, pulling Wei Ling in front of Qiao Xi, "Senior, he is from the Dongzhou Wei family."

"Wei family?" Qiao Xi murmured.

At this time, the imperial concubine sitting at the top spoke again: "Your Majesty, Master Qiao is indeed a spy from a foreign country. Look at these two people, they don't look like people from our Chen country at all."

Both Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling were wearing clothes bought by Tianwu Kingdom, and their voices were a little different from those of Chen Guo.Cultivators are used to traveling all over the world, so they are not like the people of Chen Guo who are complacent, so it is easy to see the difference.

Duanmuyu found that everyone regarded him and Wei Ling as foreigners, he couldn't help laughing, and sighed: "It's really stupid."

"It's stupid." Qiao Xi said with a smile, but he didn't know whether he was laughing at others or himself.

However, someone took the initiative to bring the words to himself: "Your Majesty, look at him, he actually said that about me. He knows that he will die today, and finally he can't pretend anymore."

The emperor was also very irritable, and couldn't help standing up from the dragon chair: "Qiao Xi, who are they?"

"The son of an old man." Qiao Xi looked at Wei Ling, and finally remembered Wei Ling's identity.

Wei Ling looked older than Qiao Xi, how could he be the son of Qiao Xi's old friend, so after hearing his answer, the emperor was even more angry: "Now you are still sophistry!"

"Sophistry? Your Majesty, what I said is the truth." Qiao Xi smiled lightly.

The ministers asked the emperor to execute Qiao Xi quickly, and arrest Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling.The emperor waved his sleeves angrily: "Catch them and execute them all!"

Upon hearing the emperor's order, Qiao Xi slowly closed her eyes to hide the sadness revealed in her heart.

The soldiers all rushed towards Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling, which made it difficult for Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling.These soldiers are all mortals, neither of them use spiritual power, nor do they use spiritual power. "Senior, stop pretending, let's go quickly." Duanmu Yu opened the two soldiers, and immediately jumped onto the stage, trying to help Qiao Xi up.

The executioner on the stage held a big knife and slashed at Duanmu Yu, but Duanmu Yu, who was weak in everyone's eyes, turned around deftly and kicked the two executioners off the stage.

"Fire the arrows!" shouted the general who commanded the forbidden army.

On the palace wall at the Meridian Gate, the imperial guards had already made preparations. After hearing the order, they immediately shot arrows near the platform.

The surrounding people backed away one after another as soon as the fight started, and now watching the arrows being released on the palace wall, they were even more afraid of harming themselves, and the scene was in chaos for a while.But they soon discovered something so weird that they even forgot to escape.It turned out that when the rain of arrows was shot down, Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling released golden light respectively, and the halo formed by the light blocked all the arrows from attacking.

Qiao Xi was protected by Duanmu Yu in the barrier of soul power, and he finally opened his eyes the moment the arrow rain fell.Now his eyes have returned to clarity, as if the changes around him have nothing to do with him.

Everyone was stunned by Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling's protective barrier, and even the emperor stood up from the dragon chair again.

"Are they... are they gods?" Some people asked with staring eyes.

Some people even knelt down and kowtowed to Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling.The soldiers who had originally attacked Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling also stopped moving, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground without even noticing.

Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling didn't want to reveal their identities as monks, but they had no choice but to rain arrows.If the managers of the restricted area knew their cultivator identities, there might be another problem.

"Senior, let's go." Duanmu Yu untied all the shackles from Qiao Xi's body, and helped Qiao Xi to stand up.

"Stop!" Two voices overlapped, one was the emperor, and the other was Deputy Director Jiang who suddenly came out of the crowd.

Deputy Hall Master Jiang didn't pay attention to a mortal emperor at all, he led his subordinates to push away all the soldiers, and came in front of Duanmu Yu and Wei Ling.

"You came all the way to find him?" Vice-Hall Master Jiang looked at Qiao Xi and said sarcastically.

He watched around for a while and guessed that Qiao Xi might be a monk, but he didn't see how powerful Qiao Xi was.Because there is no need for a powerful monk to stay in this mortal country, and Qiao Xi seems to have an unclear relationship with the mortal emperor.

For monks, entering the way of cultivation completely separates them from ordinary people.People like Chen Guo who have no cultivation at all are useless mortals in their eyes. Even if this mortal is the king of a country, they are almost like ants in their eyes.

"Who are you?" Qiao Xi asked.

"I'm the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall of Beiwumen. It's ridiculous that the two of them came to you for help!" Deputy head Jiang laughed.

So Qiao Xi looked at Wei Ling and Duanmu Yu: "You two came to me just for him?"

Duanmu Yu quickly said: "Senior, it's not just him, the matter is a bit complicated, we need to explain it to you in detail."

While they were talking, the emperor finally recovered from the shock, he said angrily: "Stop them all," he walked down the steps, "There are no gods in this world, Qiao Xi, who are they?"

"Stupid." Deputy Hall Master Jiang sneered, and with a wave of his hand, an ice arrow flew towards the emperor immediately.

A trace of dissatisfaction appeared on Qiao Xi's indifferent face, but he didn't do anything, because a man and a woman flew off the city wall, and they turned Vice Hall Master Jiang's Frost Arrow into nothing.

Deputy Hall Master Jiang was immediately surprised to find that this man and woman were the managers of the restricted area who had a double bond with him.

"You...you and him..."

A man and a woman didn't even look at Vice-Hall Master Jiang, but walked directly in front of Qiao Xi, and bowed their hands respectfully: "My lord, my subordinates are not doing well, so I didn't stop these monks."

"It's okay, just today I want to cut off all the ties." Qiao Xi looked very cold, but Duanmu Yu felt his loss.

Qiao Xi touched the chain around her neck, which had a black pendant on it.It is a soul-restraining stone from the upper realm, which can confine the soul power of a soul-cultivator, and Qiaoxi's soul-restraining stone is even more exquisite among the soul-restraining stones.His hand caressed it, and the Soul Forbidden Stone flashed a black light. After the light passed, the chain broke with a bang.

The moment the chain broke, Qiao Xi's powerful power was released instantly, making everyone around him feel the trembling from the soul.The sound of thunder instantly sounded in the sky, and large swathes of dark clouds immediately enveloped the entire capital, which was beyond the scope of the catastrophe considered by the monks of the holy order.

Qiao Xi's cultivation has exceeded the limit of the spirit world, and he should be sent to the upper world forcibly.

"Today, everything will come to an end." With a wave of Qiao Xi's hand, he immediately attacked the people of Beiwumen.

Before Deputy Hallmaster Jiang could react, a sharp pain came from his mind, his consciousness was instantly wiped away by Qiao Xi, and his vitality was completely lost.The other disciples of Beiwumen also suffered the same fate, they didn't even know how they died.

Qiao Xi flew into the air, immediately blocked the first powerful thunder, and then he released a huge soul power, covering the entire city.

Duanmu Yu, Wei Ling, and a man and a woman who suddenly appeared were people who were not affected by soul power.

Duanmu Yu hurriedly asked the woman: "What are you doing, senior?"

"My lord is erasing their memories. If today's incident gets out, the centuries-old forbidden zone will be for nothing."

The author has something to say: Qiao Xi is a person with a story, and his entanglement with the emperor will be written later.Qiao Xi's story bears the shadow of the former queen in "The Wrong Payment of the King's Heart". I originally wanted to write it, but in the end I incorporated the content into this novel.

Finally sent it today at 12 o'clock, although it was still more than ten minutes late.
