Chapter 1569: Excavated Details
"The true Nine Nether Emperor's actions will bring out the Black Dragon Mark."
He Lingchuan let out a long sigh and thought to himself that he was worthy of being Bai Ziqi.
To be frank, this intelligence is worthless. The real difficulty is to accurately link the unique features of the Nine Nether Emperor and the Black Armor Army among the dazzling variety of uprisings. He Lingchuan has never seen anyone stronger than Bai Ziqi in this ability of screening, summarizing, and summarizing - except for himself.
"But after investigating like this, I'm afraid there's still no clue, right?"
"Yes, the Black Armor Army's whereabouts are sneaky, and the Nine Nether Emperor's goal is unknown, which has always been a headache for me." Bai Ziqi asked him, "You have dealt with so many forces in Pingyuan. Where do you think the Nine Nether Emperor and his army came from?"
"It's hard to say. The Golden Plains are full of powerful families and warlords with their own troops."
"Can a small local military lord produce a team like the Black Armor Army?" Bai Ziqi did not look down on any particular team, but looked down on all the Shining Gold People equally.
"From what I've observed, there are actually a lot of strong men in the Gold Plains. After all, it's a dangerous place by nature. But the people here either have no ambition, no accomplishment, or no vision. They are just a bunch of scattered sand. But if they are united, they can at least fight the regular army on equal terms."
Bai Ziqi glanced at him and said, "You think highly of them."
"I run a chamber of commerce, and I deal with all kinds of people."
Bai Ziqi would not let him deviate from the topic: "So, you think that the Nine Nether Emperor was born and raised in the Shining Gold Plain?"
"I didn't say that." He Lingchuan shook his head. "I can't think of many people who can kill Xue Zongwu in public. If we look for him outside the Shining Gold Plain, we can find him."
"for example?"
He Lingchuan blurted out: "For example, Qingyang Regent."
Bai Ziqi was stunned and then burst into laughter.
Puff, the water birds hiding in the dry grass on the shore were scared into flying.
He Lingchuan touched his nose.
Bai Ziqi stopped laughing only when the bird flapped its wings and flew high. "You kid! Although the Qingyang Regent is... well, it's not her."
"Our guess is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"I remember that you investigated the missing messenger case in Lingxu City and you had a lot of clever ideas."
He Lingchuan laughed: "Back then, it was Mai Xuewen who set up the trap and led me to track down the clues, which led me to Cen Boqing. Now, it is obvious that the Nine Nether Emperor does not want people to find out his true identity. It is too difficult to find him in such a vast sea of people."
"I think it's not that difficult. Although the Golden Plains is large, I don't think there are many people with this ability." Bai Ziqi counted on his fingers for him to hear, "The Black Armored Army is elusive, and has never been successfully tracked. This shows that they have hiding places everywhere, and they are organized to provide support and lookouts, with efficient dispatch and strict discipline. They have no shortage of food, weapons, medicine, and mounts, and even have special people to maintain their weapons and armor and feed their mounts."
"From the places where they appear, their sphere of influence covers the central and western parts of the Shining Gold Plain. But as far as I know, there are only small countries and small forces in this area, and there are no powerful countries and military forces that span the region. So -" Bai Ziqi gave a conclusion, "I infer that Emperor Jiuyou and his Black Armor Army may not be an army on the surface, and they may not even be local tyrants who rob and loot."
The soul-catching mirror in He Lingchuan's arms shouted, "Fuck, fuck, it's broken, it's broken!"
He Lingchuan asked curiously, "Wait a minute, what the Nine Nether Emperor did, can the Ya and Mou countries also do it? And they are not too far from the Shining Gold Plains."
Bai Ziqi chuckled: "I heard that the Shining Gold Plains is very repulsive to powerful foreign forces. To tell you the truth, in the Shining Gold Plains, the Yao people are more effective than the Bega people in speaking, and the Yao people are more convenient than the Bega people in getting things done. So, if the Nine Nether Emperor is as smart as I guess, he shouldn't appear as a conqueror."
To prevent the Golden Plain from resisting? He Lingchuan had to admit that Bai Ziqi had hit the point.
"Maybe..." Bai Ziqi looked at him and smiled, "Maybe the Great Emperor Jiuyou is easy-going and humorous in real life, and has a good relationship with people."
Even the mirror felt that he was meaningful.
"Emperor Jiuyou was able to turn his army into a mysterious army that came and went like the wind. He was also able to kill Xue Zongwu, which shows that he has excellent military accomplishments and the ability to command and fight." He Lingchuan boasted seriously, "This person probably came from the military and has military experience. He is a capable person on the battlefield. There is also an old saying in Beijia: It is easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it is difficult to get a general."
He Xiao has profound skills and can fight, but He Xiao does not have an outstanding record on the battlefield.
Being able to fight doesn’t mean being able to kill people on the battlefield, nor does it mean being able to lead an army into battle.
The difference between them is like the difference between Fan Sheng and Hong Chenglue. Bai Ziqi understood it immediately:
"That makes sense, so what?"
No matter how smart he was, he had not seen the game between He Lingchuan and He Yang with his own eyes, so he had no way of judging his momentum and strategy.
"Emperor Jiuyou is a human, but wherever he passes, he will leave the mark of the black dragon. This is not something that human power can do." He Lingchuan continued, "In my opinion, he should belong to a huge extraordinary organization, or in other words, he is just the external spokesperson of this extraordinary organization. This organization provides food, medicine, mounts, armor and hiding places for the entire Black Armor Army, formulates combat plans, and provides strategic support."
"Otherwise, it would be difficult for one person or a team to accomplish so many things on their own." He gave an example, "For example, a general of heavy military power is usually only responsible for training soldiers and guarding the border. The army's food, medicine, and mounts must be provided by the rear, and the maintenance of armor and equipment is also supported by the country. There are even villages and towns near the garrison that provide various services for generals and soldiers. In short, the army can only be responsible for guarding the border and fighting, not production, and it cannot be asked to have both."
Bai Ziqi seemed to be thinking about something.
What He Lingchuan said, "The army does not engage in production" is an iron rule, and it is also strictly enforced in Beijia. Unless it is absolutely necessary, who dares to let the army be self-sufficient?
But is it appropriate to apply it to the current situation?
"Otherwise there will be distractions and you won't be able to focus enough."
Bai Ziqi's eyes flickered: "Go on."
"Looking further, the so-called 'Nine Nether Emperor' is a specially created image. If so, why must he be a person?" He Lingchuan said slowly, "Anyway, no one knows his true identity. Anyone who puts on that armor can become the Nine Nether Emperor, right?"
"It doesn't seem that simple." Bai Ziqi shook his head. "The last time the Nine Nether Emperor showed up was at Xiaotao Villa, and he remained silent for several months. If someone else wearing that black armor could become the Nine Nether Emperor, why didn't he commit crimes for a long time?"
He Lingchuan was secretly shocked.
Bai Ziqi indeed noticed this timeline!
This Bai Du envoy from the Heavenly Palace wanted to test him, but wasn't he also testing Bai Ziqi's progress in investigating the case?
"The black armor of the Nine Nether Emperor is very evil. I even suspect that it is the Luosheng Armor that once caused a bloody storm in the Shining Gold Plain." Bai Ziqi said this while staring at He Lingchuan. "No one else should be able to wear this armor."
"Oh my god!" Soul Mirror cursed fiercely before saying, "He actually knows Luo Shengjia! This is not fun, this is not fun!"
Facing Bai Ziqi's observation, He Lingchuan didn't even raise an eyebrow: "Envoy Bai Du's words make sense. I didn't think of this."
"Did you know that Luo Shengjia has been born?"
"I've heard of it." He Lingchuan told the truth, "Stories about it have been circulating in the central part of Shanjin, and General Chongwu also said that he encountered it. Envoy Bai Du believes that it has recognized the Nine Nether Emperor as its master? In other words, General Chongwu and the Nine Nether Emperor once fought a battle?"
The voice rose slightly when he said the last sentence, expressing his surprise.
He was quite surprised that after more than half a year, Bai Ziqi was still able to catch up with Emperor Jiuyou, and he described it as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Probably."
He Lingchuan looked incredulous: "General Chongwu himself may not know yet."
Bai Ziqi asked him, "You just said that there might be an extraordinary organization behind the Nine Nether Emperor?"
He Lingchuan stacked his armor: "I'm just guessing, I have no evidence."
Just guess. You don’t have to be responsible for your guess.
Bai Ziqi hummed: "That's an idea. The relationship between the Nine Nether Emperor and this organization may be subordinate or cooperative. What do you think this organization is?"
"Then I don't know." He Lingchuan waved his hand. "The Shining Gold Plain is so big, or the world is so big, what monsters and demons are there?"
But he knew that since Bai Ziqi brought it up, he must have a plan.
He scratched his head and asked Bai Ziqi again: "By the way, how did Envoy Bai track down the Nine Nether Emperor and find him in Tianshui City? Could it be that the Nine Nether Emperor is here?"
The mirror shouted, "Hey, hey, stop giving your opponent random advice, okay?"
He Lingchuan ignored it. The enemy was right under his nose, but he still kept burying his head in the sand. This was not feasible.
"Just a little errand on the way." Bai Ziqi picked up a stone on the ground and threw it out with a shake of his hand. The stone jumped six times on the river surface like a dragonfly skimming the water, and finally sank into the water, creating ripples. "We will leave for Mangzhou tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and visit Xiaotao Villa."
Oh, so Bai Ziqi hasn't been to Xiaotao Villa yet? He Lingchuan said solemnly, "Then I wish Bai Du success in his mission!"
"I wanted to have lunch with you, but Liang's envoy is hosting a banquet in the city. Alas." Bai Ziqi patted his shoulder. "Let's have a good chat in a few days when I return to Tianshui City."
He stretched out his hand so suddenly that anyone with less self-control would probably draw their sword on the spot. He Lingchuan put his hands behind his back and smiled sincerely, "Okay, I will prepare enough good wine and food and wait for Envoy Baidu to return."
After strolling along the river, Bai Ziqi walked back, and officials including You Rongzhi warmly saw him off.
He rode his horse back to the west, followed by dozens of riders, galloping away.
He Lingchuan looked at his back until he could no longer see him, then he slowly turned around.
The mirror in his arms asked, "Is he suspicious of you?"
There was someone nearby, so He Lingchuan just nodded.
What's so interesting about the construction of the new temple? Bai Ziqi wants to see him!
