Chapter 35: Chasing the Murderer Within Zero Miles (Part 2)
(The Mid-Autumn Festival is here, and Liudao wishes all the brothers and sisters a family reunion, happiness and well-being. On Liudao’s side, it is said that there is the biggest typhoon since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. After the storm is over, I don’t know how much cultivation can be improved.)
The moon is bright and the stars are few, quiet and serene.
The bonfire was burning fiercely, and the light of the fire shone hundreds of meters brightly.
"Third Prince is a great man with great talent and great strategy, and he has his own chest. He is the best candidate for the prince." Yang Sanchi said, his face dimmed and flickered under the light of the fire.
"The third prince is not only talented, but also has knowledge beyond the reach of ordinary people. He is even more ambitious. If he becomes the emperor of the dynasty in the future, he will definitely make the dynasty stronger. Maybe he will be able to separate the two adjacent domains. They were captured and became the land of our Longtu Dynasty." Long Gang also said.
"Vice Commander Chen, the third prince is a wise master." Long Tie said to Chen Zong as if concluding.
In the first half month, these three people isolated Chen Zong, and then changed their previous attitude. Starting from Yang Sanchi's initiative to send roasted deer legs, the three of them would take the initiative to contact Chen Zong from time to time, chatting with Chen Zong casually, slowly As far as talking about the third prince, all in all, it is to say good things about the third prince as much as possible.
Gradually, Chen Zong also understood that this was probably ordered by the third prince.
Targeting himself first, isolating himself, and then taking the initiative to approach him, making himself feel flattered, is a routine. It is a pity that Chen Zong will not be affected in any way, no matter whether he is isolated or approached proactively. The willow branches are swayed by the wind and quiet when the wind goes away, unchangeable by the outside world.
Chen Zong's gesture immediately made Long Tie and the others very angry but helpless.
That's right, they did get the third prince's instruction. The third prince wanted to get rid of Chen Zong before, but later changed his mind, thinking that subduing Chen Zong is better than getting rid of him, because Chen Zong's talent is indeed amazing. If you can truly surrender to yourself, it will be a very good help.
Furthermore, if Chen Zong surrendered to himself, he would also hit the Ninth Prince to a certain extent.
Because of this, the third prince secretly made efforts and used a lot of connections, and finally let the emperor issue an imperial edict to appoint Chen Zong as the deputy commander of the Dragon Tooth Guard.
In the eyes of the third prince, making Chen Zong the deputy commander of the Dragon Tooth Guard is to give Chen Zong great benefits. Naturally, it can't be so easy, otherwise he won't cherish it. On the contrary, he must try his best to attack Chen Zong within a certain range. Grind away Chen Zong's water chestnuts to make him easier to subdue.
All in all, everything that is happening today,
It's all the efforts of the third prince to completely subdue Chen Zong. It has to be said that the third prince has worked hard, but unfortunately the effect does not seem to be obvious so far.
Of course, the third prince has also ordered that if Chen Zong cannot be persuaded, then he must find an opportunity to get rid of Chen Zong. This is also the reason why Chen Zong should come out to carry out the mission, and get rid of him in a place far away from the imperial city. Always more secretive.
In the blink of an eye, the second half of the month passed, and the three of them repeatedly said all kinds of good things about the third prince, but it was a pity that Chen Zong was unmoved, and the destination was reached.
The domain adjacent to the west of the Longtu domain is named Dengtianyu, which means reaching the sky in one step. It is rumored that in ancient times, there once appeared in this domain a Gaidai Tianjiao, who changed from an ordinary person to an ordinary person in a short period of time. Become a strong person in the Transcendent Realm, soar upwards, and achieve the position of Martial Emperor in the Profound Sky Realm, which can be regarded as a model of ascending to the sky in one step.
There is a city built adjacent to Longtuyu and Dengtianyu, which is named Denglong City, which is not under the jurisdiction of Longtuyu and Dengtianyu.
In fact, a long time ago, several wars broke out between the two domains in order to compete for the sovereignty of Denglong City. Each is in charge of a period of time, with a period of ten years.
As for who will be in charge first, it was only after a struggle that it became clear.
It has lasted for hundreds of years since then, but every time it is the turn of other domains to take charge, they will take the opportunity to search and dig out the background of Denglong City as much as possible, so that it is difficult for other domains to take over the management to get any benefits. The benefit of Dragon City is very great, it is almost fatal, and it has also caused dissatisfaction among many people in the two domains, and it is inevitable that conflicts will break out again.
In the end, the two domains reached a consensus after many negotiations, making Denglong City a city independent of the two domains, and also serving as a bridge connecting the two domains.
On the surface, Denglong City is indeed no longer under the control of the two domains, and there are regulations that forces from the two domains are not allowed to enter directly, but all the forces in Denglong City are inextricably linked to the forces from the two domains.
Denglong City looks big, but it is relatively new, because it has been damaged and rebuilt after many wars.
There are four real martial arts guards at the gate of Denglong City. Anyone who wants to enter or exit must pay the corresponding fee.
The amount of fees to be paid is related to one's cultivation base. In short, the fee paid is lower at the Qi and Blood Realm, more at the Strength Realm, and more at the True Martial Realm. However, for most warriors, such a fee Nothing.
It's just a one-time fee payment, which can only last for one month. After one month, if you want to enter and exit Denglong City, you must pay the fee again.
After the four of Chen Zong paid a certain fee, each of them got a wooden sign with a unique aura fluctuation that could not be imitated, and the duration was exactly one month.
If the wooden sign is lost during the period, there is no way, it is anonymous, and if you want to enter and leave Denglong City, you can only make it up again.
Of course, if it is a strong person in the Transcendent Realm, he can enter and leave Denglong City at will without paying any fees, which is the privilege of the strong.
The four of Chen Zong didn't wear something that symbolized their identity, such as the dragon tooth guard robe, so they were not easy to be identified. Even so, when the four of them entered Denglong City, they were secretly followed by someone.
The forces in Denglong City are intricate and complex, with many eyes and ears.
"Vice Commander Chen, in my opinion, it's better for us to find an inn to live in temporarily, and then track down the murderer." Long Tie seemed to ask for Chen Zong's opinion, but his tone was very firm, meaning that he had already made a decision, and went straight to a Stride to the restaurant.
Chen Zong didn't care about this.
The unequal information made Chen Zong a little passive and could only see the tricks.
...
"Those people have already lived in Changtian Restaurant."
"Be ready for everything, and do it at midnight tonight."
In the room, four people sat around a table. On the table were fragrant and delicious dishes, as well as a large jar of fine wine, and four primitive bowls were placed in front of the four of them, and the bowls were filled with amber-colored fine wine. , filled with an intoxicating fragrance.
"Vice Commander Chen, Ming people don't speak dark words. The Third Prince is thirsty for talents, and you are indeed superior, Vice Commander Chen. If you are willing to assist the Third Prince, the Third Prince will definitely not treat you badly." Long Tie Open your mouth and speak directly, which is different from the previous beating around the bush.
After all, a month has passed, and we have arrived at our destination, Denglong City, so it is time for us to make a decision.
Long Gang and Yang Sanchi also stared at Chen Zong with burning eyes, waiting for Chen Zong's response.
"The Ninth Prince treats me like a brother." Chen Zong replied very briefly.
In one sentence, it revealed Chen Zong's intention to reject the third prince's solicitation.
From the time the third prince took action against Chen Zong, it was doomed that Chen Zong would not be able to assist the third prince, not to mention that the third prince has a vicious heart and is not a wise king. Will be unloaded and killed ass.
"Chen Zong, don't be ignorant of flattery!" Long Gang was furious, and slapped his palm on the table viciously, splashing wine and vegetable soup, and Yang Sanchi also stared at Chen Zong with an unfriendly expression.
If Chen Zong can be persuaded, then all three of them will be rewarded by the Third Prince, which is closely related to their own interests.
"Okay, people have their own ambitions, and you can't force it." Long Tie spoke, suppressing Long Gang's anger, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and immediately said to Chen Zong: "Since Deputy Commander Chen has his own plans, I can't intervene." , but, don’t regret it in the future.”
Hearing this, Chen Zong just smiled lightly, got up, and walked towards the door.
If you don't talk speculatively, there are too many words, if you have different opinions, you won't feel good about drinking any wine.
Seeing Chen Zong walk out and close the door, the expressions of the three of them suddenly sank.
"Too arrogant." Long Gang was indignant.
"Captain, what's next?" Yang Sanchi looked at Longtie and asked.
"Since you are so ungrateful, then follow the original plan." Long Tie said firmly.
In Denglong City, the influence of the Longtu imperial family has weakened to a certain extent, even the supervision of the Dragon Eye Guard, who claims to monitor the entire domain, has been seriously affected here.
In the middle of the night, after Chen Zong finished his training, he was ready to take a good rest, making up for the vacancy that he hadn't had a rest in the past month.
Cultivation often pays attention to relaxation and relaxation. Proper rest can relax the whole body and mind, which is more beneficial to future cultivation.
In the dead of night, Denglong City seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
"Who?"
"It was you who killed Deputy Commander Lin, yet dared to come here alone, asking for death."
Suddenly, loud shouts came from the next door, which was Yang Sanchi's room.
Chen Zong stood up in an instant, the sword light pierced through the air, split the wall of the room directly, and rushed into Yang Sanchi's room.
Chen Zong heard Yang Sanchi's voice very clearly, and he could hear the content of his words clearly. It was the murderer who killed Vice Commander Lin.
Chen Zong's task on this trip is to capture or kill the murderer. Since the murderer appeared on his own initiative, he must not let him go.
At the same time, Longtie and Longgang also broke through the walls back and forth and rushed into Yang Sanchi's room.
I saw Yang Sanchi fighting fiercely with a short man in black, his moves were deadly, the sharp light of the knife spread all around, and all the furniture was shattered under the attack of the two, turning into pieces of rice.
Chen Zong could clearly distinguish the battle situation at a glance, and the two swords pierced through the air to kill the man in black without mercy.
Long Gang also drew out his long saber, and with a sharp blade, he slashed at the man in black with the intention of killing, but the man in black was extremely flexible, easily dodging Chen Zong's double swords and Long Gang's long saber, The short blade in his hand slashed at Yang Sanchi fiercely.
The sharp black light was erratic, floating up and down like ghosts, making it difficult for Yang Sanchi to distinguish for a while, so he could only wield the long knife with all his strength to lay down heavy defenses, but the short blade suddenly turned and killed Chen without warning. Zong.
Chen Zong's perception was very keen, and he reacted immediately. Under the realm of superb swordsmanship, he locked Wu Guang's trajectory, and the two swords pierced through the air. One sword resisted Wu Guang, and the other stabbed at the heart of the man in black.
