This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 166: Stranger, Imperial Army
May 3, the 3th year of Hongguang.

Starting from 9 o'clock last night, all the gates of Datong City were under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. The city guards were all on the city walls, and the whole city was on alert, not allowing anyone the opportunity to leave the city.

The last time the entire city of Datong was on alert was eighteen years ago when the Western Allied Forces attacked.

Now this has suddenly happened, leaving many people confused.

But this is just the beginning.

Almost all of the more than one thousand inspectors from the General Inspection Office were mobilized to search the entire city!
The Zhige Headquarters dispatched hundreds of warriors, including martial arts masters and official martial arts masters.

The General Supervisory Office and the General Law Enforcement Office were also dispatched.

With such a scene, even the slowest-witted person would know that something big has happened!
A little after five in the morning, the crime scene in Jinsha District.

The ruined villa attracted many people, all of whom were the real big shots in Datong Prefecture:

There was a helmsman from the Zhige General Hospital, the Chief Inspector of the Supervision General Hospital, a Deputy Chief Inspector of the Supervision General Hospital, and Jiang Jin, the Deputy Director of the Zhengfa General Hospital who had previously sent Li Fei back to school.

These people were all watching an old man casting a spell.

The old man was wearing a white robe and looked like an immortal. He was holding an eight-diagram plate with a pointer on it. He was standing in front of Zhang Zongyang's body and casting a spell.

This old man is from the Zhengfa General Hospital. His name is Qi Yiming. He is a great wizard in the possession stage and is best at searching and tracking.

The Bagua plate in his hand is the magic weapon he refined.

Normally, the magic weapons that a great wizard in the possession stage chooses to refine are for attack and defense. Unless there are surpluses, he will consider refining other types of magic weapons.

Because Qi Yiming didn't like fighting, the first magic weapon he refined was a Luotian Pan for tracking.

This made him a "rare commodity" and he would be seconded by the provincial capital or even other provincial governments to help with cases from time to time.

When Zhang Zongyang was murdered, Qi Yiming was in the provincial capital on business and rushed back by car overnight.

After a busy period, Qi Yiming finished casting the spell.

"how?"

Jiang Jin took a step forward and asked in a deep voice.

Qi Yiming shook his head solemnly, "It's too late. The other side also has people who know magic and they cut off all traces early. If I could come here and cast a spell within an hour of the crime, I could still find some traces with the Luotian Pan, but now."

The adults present were actually not surprised by this result.

The other party was crazy enough to assassinate a chief officer, a 13th-level official, and the helmsman of the Zhige General Hospital. Naturally, he could not be stupid and incompetent, and it was impossible for him not to have calculated Qi Yiming in advance.

"Mr. Qi, don't you have any clues at all?"

A middle-aged man with narrow eyes and holding a long sword asked.

His name is Fu Lang, and he is also the helmsman of Zhige General Hospital. He has the best relationship with Zhang Zongyang on weekdays, so when he learned the news of Zhang Zongyang's murder, he took the initiative to apply to rush over as soon as possible.

"I have a clue. Through the Luotian Pan, I sensed that the breath left by the murderer was mixed with a very primitive and fierce breath. It was not like a human, but a bit like a strange beast."

Qi Yiming said.

"Strange beast? Was it Yu Longqing's doing?"

Fu Lang thought of the "Beast King" who could drive strange beasts.

But he quickly rejected this idea, because if it was really Yu Longqing who drove the strange beast to kill people, the traces left at the scene would definitely not be like this. A strange beast is much more difficult to hide than a human.

The higher the level of the exotic beast, the bigger its body. A exotic beast that can kill a Dao Foundation Stage expert must be at least the size of a house. How is it possible to leave no trace at all?

Only the legendary third-grade exotic beasts could be small in size.

But there is absolutely no way that Yu Longqing could get a strange beast of that level.

So Fu Lang quickly ruled out the suspicion of "Beast King".

"Just because the aura resembles that of an alien beast doesn't mean it's a real alien beast. There are other people in this world who also have these characteristics."

The Deputy Inspector General of the General Office of Supervision suddenly spoke in a gloomy voice.

Everyone present was startled when they heard this, and then they understood:
"You mean, the one who did it was the alien from the West?"

The country in the west is called the Western Country because there is a vast ocean between it and the Great Blue Dynasty.

The Great Blue Dynasty used to think that it was the Celestial Empire and the center of the world. Later, it learned that there was a land on the other side of the ocean, where tens of millions of people and many countries lived.

After discovering the Western countries, the historians of the Great Lan Dynasty called the land where they were located "Central Continent" and the land where the Western countries were located "Western Continent".

There are many exotic beasts living in the "Central Continent", so the people here can slowly develop martial arts and magic.

But in the 'Western Land' there are no strange beasts, only strange people.

The so-called extraordinary people are those whose blood is different from that of ordinary people. For some reason, there is some blood of extraordinary beasts mixed in their blood, so when the power of their blood awakens, they can also possess some extraordinary abilities.

For this reason, in the 'Western Continent', the powerful and wealthy classes in various countries are all families with alien blood. They believe that they are the 'chosen ones' and are born to stand in high places and enslave mortals.

When the Western coalition invaded the Great Blue Dynasty, there were a large number of extraordinary people in the coalition. They not only relied on powerful gunpowder weapons to fight the Great Blue Dynasty, but also had extraordinary powers to assist them.

The strength of an alien depends entirely on the strength of his bloodline. Although he can also learn various skills, his bloodline directly limits the maximum upper limit of a person's strength, unlike a warrior who has unlimited possibilities.

If it were more than ten years ago, an alien who could kill a Dao Foundation Stage expert must have an extremely powerful bloodline. In the Western Continent, he must be either a royal family from a certain country or a top noble.

However, in recent years, it is not only the Great Blue Dynasty that has been "learning from the barbarians to defeat them", Western countries have also been learning and studying the martial arts and techniques of the mainland, and some aliens even have unique advantages in practicing martial arts.

Therefore, a strange person who can kill a Daoji Stage strongman today may not necessarily have a very strong bloodline, and it is very likely that he himself is also in the Daoji Stage.

"So, this could be the work of spies from Mega Country?"

Fu Lang spoke up.

“This possibility is the greatest.”

The Deputy Inspector General of the General Inspection Office nodded.

Under normal circumstances, if it was just an internal struggle, who the hell would be crazy enough to dare to kill a fourth-rank officer?

Even if it was just the killing of a third-rank imperial official, it would be a major event enough to alarm the entire city!

Such crazy, unscrupulous and unscrupulous behavior is indeed very likely to be done by Mega spies.

Only these people have the courage and motivation to do this.

"Sir, the Zhang family is asking when they can collect the body of Helmsman Zhang?"

A registered martial artist from Zhigeyuan came over and said to Fu Lang.

The head of the Zhang family has been dead for almost ten hours, but until now, no one in the Zhang family has even seen Zhang Zongyang's body.

This is indeed a bit ironic, but this is the reality.

Although the Zhang family is one of the three major families in Datong City, there has been a lack of young talents in the family over the years, and only Zhang Zongyang is left to hold the fort.

Now that Zhang Zongyang is dead, the entire Zhang family is leaderless, and no one can access the top of power in Datong City anymore, which leads to this embarrassing scene at this moment:
The body of the head of the Zhang family was placed here, but there was no one from the Zhang family around.

"Everyone, now that we have a direction, let's go check Zong Yang's body first."

Fu Lang pointed at the body on the ground and wanted the Zhang family to come and collect it. He didn't want to leave his friend's body here for too long. "Master Fu."

Du Changhe, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

He is the head of the Du family, one of the three great families, and also the chief inspector of the Datong Prefecture Inspection Office:

"The death of Zhang the Helmsman is of great importance. There may be other clues left on his body. Before the murderer is found, it will be difficult for the Zhang family to restrain themselves."

Fu Lang was silent.

The other party's words were indeed official and reasonable, and he couldn't refute them.

"Then let the Zhige General Hospital collect the bodies first."

Fu Lang said.

"There are several powerful forensic doctors at the General Inspection Hospital. I will send them to the General Zhige Hospital in a moment."

Du Changhe said calmly.

The term forensic doctor was influenced by Western culture. It was previously called coroner. Du Changhe meant that he wanted someone to dissect Zhang Zongyang's body.

Fu Lang turned his head and looked at the other person with a sharp gaze.

Du Changhe looked at Fu Lang without showing any weakness: "I just want to solve the case as soon as possible. This matter will definitely alert the higher-ups. If there is no result in the end, I'm afraid that everyone present will not have an easy time."

With the death of Zhang Zongyang, the Zhige General Hospital will be the first to be punished by the higher authorities, and the Supervision General Hospital will not be able to escape the responsibility because it is responsible for the public security in the city.

And if this matter is related to the spies from Mega Country, the General Inspectorate and the General Law Enforcement Office, which are currently working together to capture the spies, are also involved.

So what Du Changhe said was indeed correct.

"In that case, I will also send some people from the Supervisory Office to help escort Zhang Zhang's body back to the Zhige Office."

The Deputy Inspector General of the General Inspection Office said.

His words clearly showed that he did not trust the Supervisory Office and the Office for Stopping Wars, and that he wanted to send people to monitor the entire process of the "autopsy", but the General Supervisory Office did have this power.

"Then please Mr. Qi, please take the trouble to go with me."

Jiang Jin's last statement was to let Qi Yiming participate in the "autopsy".

"Okay, I'll follow your wishes, my Lords."

Fu Lang laughed out of anger, took one last look at his friend's body on the ground, and left in anger.

Soon, Zhang Zongyang's body was carried away by the people from Zhige General Hospital, and then all parties sent people to go to Zhige General Hospital to prepare to participate in the subsequent "autopsy".

During the entire process, the Zhang family could only watch from the outside, unable to get close or stop it.

Du Changhe took a last look at the people from the Zhang family and shook his head.

As the head of one of the three major families, he is still alive, while Zhang Zongyang is dead.

Therefore, the Zhang family is likely to be finished.

There will no longer be three major families in Datong Prefecture in the future.

At around 3 a.m. on March 3, Zhang Zongyang's body was sent back to Zhige General Hospital, where the "autopsy" began.

At the same time, the initial suspicions about the case and the clues found by Qi Yiming were also reported to Bian Jingru, the governor of Datong Prefecture.

After he got the news last night, his face had been very ugly. After reading the preliminary results, he slapped the table hard and said sternly:

"Haven't the General Supervision Office and the General Law Office been arresting spies before? What results have they found?"

The secretary general beside him bowed and said:

"Sir, the people we have captured have already been tortured, and none of them have provided any useful clues."

"Where is the rebellious special lecturer at Wuda?"

Bian Jingru asked.

"We didn't get much useful information out of him, and those who had close contact with him were all middle and senior leaders of Wuhan University. It's not easy to investigate the General Supervision Office."

“Wuhan University.”

Bian Jingru was silent for a moment.

Even though he was a garrison commander, it was difficult for him to speak with authority in front of Wu Da.

So no matter how angry he was, he was not crazy enough to ask someone to investigate Wuhan University directly.

"Besides Wu Da, who else are the suspects?"

Bian Jingru asked.

The secretary general said cautiously: "And there is the Iron Front Gate."

"Iron Front Gate."

Bian Jingru's eyes turned cold, "Pass my order, have the city guards leave the city immediately and surround Tiefeng Mountain!"

"grown ups?"

The Secretary General looked at Bian Jingru with some surprise.

"Send out the Imperial Army."

Bian Jingru added another point.

"Yes!"

The Secretary General now understood the other party's determination and immediately went to execute the order.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the city guards of Datong City left the city.

The city guards of the prefectural city were led by two dusi, who were military officers of level 10, one level higher than the garrison commanders. Each of them could command a thousand soldiers.

The two commanders in Datong City have nearly three thousand soldiers in total, and among them are one thousand cavalry!
The iron cavalry of the Great Lan Dynasty was famous throughout the world. It was a type of cavalry between light cavalry and heavy cavalry, and both the men and the horses were armored.

Because there are also warriors, martial artists, and martial artists among the Iron Cavalry, so if a thousand Iron Cavalry charge on the plains, even a strong man in the Dao Foundation Stage will find it difficult to stop their edge!

Now there are more than a thousand people setting out from the city to Tiefeng Mountain, half on horseback and half on foot.

The armor on the two hundred riders in the front was obviously different from that of the cavalry behind them, and it looked thicker and heavier.

In addition, they were not riding ordinary war horses, but the exotic beast Green Nightmare Horse!
Most of these Green Nightmare Horses are of the first grade, a few are of the second grade, and there are even a few of the third grade.

At that time, there were no more than five Green Nightmare Horses in the city guard camp of Xingcheng, but there are two hundred here!
These two hundred cavalrymen are not the city guards, they are the imperial camp troops.

The so-called Imperial Camp Army is the most elite force of the Great Blue Dynasty. It is an army composed entirely of warriors, and the weakest among them are warriors in the Body Breaking Stage!
In addition, the equipment they use is a magic weapon, which is something that the orthodox courts in various places have been working hard to refine.

With evil weapons, you can form a military formation and unleash military evil. This is a large-scale destructive technique that can be used on the battlefield!
Military formations and military evil spirits are the most powerful "weapons" of the Great Blue Dynasty. They are the basis for it to sweep across the world and claim to be the number one empire in the world!
Now, the Imperial Camp Army consisting of two hundred cavalrymen took the lead and charged towards Tiefeng Gate.
