[Chapter 2: Give Face to Number Three]

"I will keep an eye out for you. In this area of Yunzhou, I still have some face. If you want to find someone, it's not difficult. As long as Zhou Chixiong is in Yunzhou, I can find him," said Number Two arrogantly.

Xu Qian became more certain that Number Two was not a member of the court. There were two reasons for this. First, she cursed Emperor Yuan Jing every day. And second, Yunzhou was plagued by bandits, refugees, and a weak government. If Number Two was a member of the court, she would not dare to make such a promise.

She was not a government official, but she was enthusiastic about fighting bandits. Number Two was a righteous person.

"Okay," said Number One.

The deal was made, and the conflict was resolved. The members of the Tian Di Hui breathed a sigh of relief. Number Three was indeed a learned person, and her wrist was strong. If it were not for her, Number One and Number Two might have started fighting.

Taoist Master Jin Lian was right to bring Number Three into the Tian Di Hui. After joining the Tian Di Hui, the frequency of communication through the Earth Book increased, and the exchange of information among the members became more frequent. It was a pleasing phenomenon for everyone.

"Why do the demons covet the seal under Sangpo? Hmm, it should be the work of the Northern demons. Historically, there was no conflict between The Great Feng and the ** Demon Kingdom," said Number Four.

The Northern demons were at odds with The Great Feng, and the ** Demon Kingdom was at odds with the Undying Buddha School in the Western Regions. According to the boss, the Northern tribes and Northern demons had been harassing the border in recent years, and there seemed to be signs of restarting the war. Therefore, it was reasonable for the Northern demons to secretly cause trouble in the capital... Xu Qian's heart sank.

"So, what is sealed under Sangpo that the Northern demons have been plotting for so long?" asked Number Five.

"You have many questions, little girl. Uncle cannot answer you because Uncle also wants to know," Xu Qian thought to himself.

"In any case, it must be something that is causing a headache for the royal family of The Great Feng. I hope it doesn't harm the ordinary people in the capital," said Xu Qian, seizing the opportunity to send a message, "The Chief of the Astronomical Observatory is sick. What do you think? Yunlu Academy received a secret message that there is indeed a formation under the Sangpo Lake, and I believe it was made by the Astronomical Observatory."

"It's fake. A first-grade master cannot get sick," Number Two immediately rejected the idea.

"A first-grade master is the pinnacle of the world and cannot get sick, especially in the field of magic," said Number Five.

The origin of the magic system was medicine.

Number Four also expressed his opinion, "The attitude revealed by the Chief of the Astronomical Observatory may be that he does not want to participate in this matter."

Number Four was a clever person, and his thoughts were similar to Xu Qian's. The Chief of the Astronomical Observatory did not want to participate in this matter... What was the meaning of this ambiguous attitude? Wasn't he supposed to guard the capital?

Xu Qian pondered in silence.【Chapter One: I can repay part of the debt now. Do you want to hear about the information on Sangbo? It may not be of great value.】

"Not of great value, but you want to repay the debt from last time... You're a bit too much, Number One. Trying to take advantage of me?"

Xu Qi'an was a bit angry. He was at a loss in this deal, but he needed the information on Sangbo urgently.

The lead from Zhou Baihu had gone cold, and he needed to find a new breakthrough.

Xu Qi'an replied indifferently, "I'll listen."

【One: I looked through the archives on Sangbo and found a significant time point. Perhaps the seal under Sangbo is related to it.】

Number One paused for a moment before sending a message: 【Five hundred years ago!】

【One: About five hundred years ago, the prince at the time fell into the lake while playing in Sangbo, went insane, and drowned there shortly after. But there was another major event five hundred years ago, which was only briefly mentioned in historical records, and everyone avoided discussing it.

【I believe Number Three should remember it.】

"I don't, I don't remember anything... No, I haven't even read historical books!"

Xu Qi'an felt frustrated that there was no Baidu in this world. Otherwise, with just a few clicks, anything could be solved, including sickness... Well, maybe with just a few clicks, he could say goodbye to this life and meet again in the next.

By the way, finding Ci Jiu, who was a bookworm, was a good idea.

As Xu Qi'an thought of Ci Jiu's appearance and demeanor, he was pleasantly surprised to see Number Four respond: 【Taking the throne?!】

Seeing this, Xu Qi'an felt relieved because he knew that someone else would ask for him. Besides Numbers Four and One, everyone else in the group was a student who hadn't even completed their nine-year compulsory education.

【Two: Taking the throne?】

【Five: Taking the throne?】

【Four: Five hundred years ago, there was a rebellion in the Great Feng royal family, led by the King of Pinghai, who later became Emperor Wuzong. Although Wuzong had always covered up the fact that he had usurped the throne by claiming to be a loyal subject, it was not a glorious thing. Historians in later generations avoided discussing it and only wrote a few words: In the year of the collapsing sky, a monster was born, and Wuzong rose in the east, quelling the chaos!

【The current Great Feng royal family are descendants of Wuzong.】

【Five: What does this have to do with Sangbo?】

This girl really wasn't very smart...

【Two: Number One suspects that the seal suppressed in the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple is related to the royal family five hundred years ago.】

This novel is available on "pawread.com".

【One: Don't you find it strange that the supervisor is pretending to be sick?】

The seal under Sangbo contains an important figure from the royal family five hundred years ago... It involves taboo topics that the royal family does not want to discuss, so only Emperor Yuan Jing knows about it... Therefore, the death of the prince five hundred years ago was definitely not accidental. Was it revenge?Because it was a family matter as they were also members of the royal family, the supervisor pretended to be sick and did not want to participate?

The Northern Yao Clan did this to cause chaos in the Great Feng capital and even turmoil in the court, so they could take advantage of the situation to make small moves in the north?

Xu Qi'an took a cold breath and straightened his back. The water in the Sangpo case was deeper than he had imagined.

"I should just run away. The risk of running away is lower than participating in this case."

Xu Qi'an was scared.

"By the way, I forgot something. There are some interesting characters engraved on the seal under the Sangpo case. I think I should share it with you. Hmm, this is free."

He did not ask, "Do you all know what font this is?" That would be too foolish.

What if it was just an ancient font? Wouldn't that expose his low cultural level, and the disguise of the Yunlu Academy would not hold?

So, Xu Qi'an wrote two twisted fonts on the surface of the jade mirror: [Three: Two twisted fonts.]

[Nine: This is Buddhist scripture.]

Buddhist scripture? Xu Qi'an was stunned.

[Five: How could Buddhist scripture appear in the Sangpo seal formation?]

There was a member in the group with low intelligence, but he was still good... Xu Qi'an smiled and waited for a big shot to give an explanation.

[Four: It shouldn't be like this. The royal family couldn't let the people of the Buddhist temple participate in such a secretive matter.]

Others expressed their confusion.

After waiting for a long time, no one spoke, and everyone had their own guesses.

Xu Qi'an asked, "Hasn't Number Six spoken recently?"

[Nine: Hmm, it seems that Number Six has encountered some trouble. He has already left the Eastern Health Hall for many days. I will be responsible for finding him.]

Is this bald guy a trouble magnet? Why does he always encounter trouble... Xu Qi'an commented, and waited for the group members to log off, which took about the time of burning an incense stick.

"Log off when you're done. You guys have no manners."

...

Blowing out the oil lamp, Xu Qi'an lay on the bed with the jade mirror under his pillow, staring at the dark ceiling, letting his thoughts ferment.

"If the seal under Sangpo is a strongman of the former royal family, then things will be troublesome. Knowing this kind of secret, I will definitely be beheaded... No, if the other party causes a disturbance and reveals their identity in a high-profile manner, I am not afraid of Emperor Yuan Jing silencing me."

"Wei Yuan said that there are others who will search for the sealed object, so I don't need to intervene. My task should be to find the spy in the Sangpo case... But Zhou Baihu has escaped, and this lead has been cut off. I can only rely on Number Two."

"No, that's not right!" In the darkness, Xu Qi'an's eyes suddenly lit up. He had overlooked something.

During the day, when he was discussing the case with Lv Qing in the council hall, they came to the conclusion that the nine missing people could not have smuggled the gunpowder into the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple undetected.However, Zhou Baihu was a member of the Jinwu Guard, and the Jinwu Guard was only responsible for guarding, not for the ancestral ceremony. In other words, he had no chance to enter the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple.

Zhou Baihu was not the mastermind behind the scenes. As a member of the Jinwu Guard, he was only responsible for delivering the gunpowder into the palace. Others were responsible for hiding the gunpowder in the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple.

There were even higher-level black hands behind him.

The black hands behind the scenes teamed up with the demon race and dominated the Sangpo case, releasing the sealed objects in the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple.

My real task is to find out who this black hand is!

Xu Qi'an sat up and clenched his fist in excitement.
