The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The bright moon hung high in the night sky, making the world pale.

More than a hundred miles west of Luohu County, there are many people in the forest. Hundreds of people gathered in the night, but not much movement was made. The atmosphere was depressed and solemn. More than a thousand meters away from these people was the official road leading to Luohu County.

.

Where the crowd gathered, in the center, a stern-faced middle-aged man looked in the distance in the direction of Luohu County. Even though he knew he couldn't see anything, he still didn't change his gaze. His gaze was solemn, even with a trace of suppressed fear.

It comes from inner anger.

Around this person, there were hundreds of people dressed in similar attire, with black robes with red trim. Each one of them was a master with a strong aura, and every move made it clear that they had endured numerous dangerous battles to survive to this day.

No one spoke, the night was quiet, and the atmosphere was depressing and heavy.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the middle-aged man who was looking at Luohu County withdrew his gaze and said solemnly: "There is a deep hatred and there is no news. What happened to them when they approached Luohu County..."

He seemed to be asking this question to himself and the people around him.

No one can answer it, because no one knows what lies ahead in Luohu County, and no one who went there before has any news, and their lives and deaths are unknown.

He raised his head and glanced in the direction of Luohu County again. The middle-aged man asked solemnly: "Is there any news from other directions?"

"Going back to Mr. Director, we dispersed in more than ten directions around Luohu County. We sent people to Luohu County one after another, but no news came out. Everyone who was close to Luohu County within a hundred miles disappeared silently.

"We're connected." A burly man lowered his head and replied with a nervous tone, not daring to look at the director.

The people here are all from the Sanluo Dynasty. There is the arrest department, there are experts mobilized from all parties, and there is also the cooperation of the army, but the arrest department is the leader.

The director of the arrest department headed by him is not the chief director of the San Luo arrest department, but one of the deputy directors. His status is equivalent to Chai Shilin, who is cooperating with Yun Jing.

That day, Yunjing and the others set foot in Sanluo territory and analyzed seven suspicious locations. Chai Shilin reported the analysis results. At that time, the Sanluo Dynasty had already launched a secret operation and sent a large number of manpower to investigate those seven places first.

The operation was very secretive and too many people were sent out, but the ones who were actually selected to approach the seven locations were the elites among the elites. However, the results were not satisfactory. So far, nothing has been found. On the contrary, bad news has come one after another.

Du Jiu, the deputy director of the Sanluo Apprehension Department who was present, frowned again when he heard the answer. Although he had already guessed such a result, it was still difficult to accept it. The anger in his heart was about to burst out, and the people around him were silent.

We have been taking action since the beginning, but after so many days, we have not made any achievements at all. This is despite having a goal. The only bad news that can be called good news is that three of the seven places have problems.

,but……

In the silence, someone cautiously said: "Mr. Secretary, should we continue to send people to investigate?"

"No need, we have lost contact with those who have been sent for so many days. Should we send him again to die?" Du Jiu shook his head and gritted his teeth.

Dozens of elite men were dispatched, each one of them was a master in his own right, and his life and death were unknown. Such a loss was too great. If it weren't for this special period, with just such a loss, the entire arrest department would be held accountable from top to bottom.

Someone cautiously asked again: "Mr. Secretary, what should we do next?"

"Wait", Du Jiu took a deep breath and spit out this word.

Wait? Most of the people present didn't understand what Du Jiu was up to.

Then Du Jiu said: "I have already communicated with Mr. Chai. He and Mr. Yun will be here soon. It is Mr. Yun who has analyzed seven suspicious locations. All actions taken by then will be obeyed by Mr. Yun.

s arrangement!"

Hearing what he said, most of the people present were slightly stunned, their expressions were a little unnatural, and they were blushing with embarrassment. They clearly had a goal and took the first step, but they didn't make any achievements. In the end, they still had to rely on the outsider.

Lost all...

When everyone was embarrassed, Du Jiu said again: "Go on, everyone, please remember that after Mr. Yun arrives, there will be no Du Jiu, the deputy director of the arrest department. I am just a commander. We all obey Master Chai's orders and work quickly."

They were mobilized here.”

"As you command!"

No one has any meaning at this time. What you do behind the scenes is one thing, but you still have to cooperate with those who should cooperate openly. After all, that person is the person invited by His Majesty. He wanted to take credit before, but he was embarrassed.

All done.

In the silence, the special conch shell in Du Jiu's arms moved. He immediately took it out and put it on his ear while avoiding people. Listening to the feedback from the conch shell, his face became darker and darker, until finally he was almost dripping with water.

After returning to the crowd, Du Jiu said nothing. Everyone felt that he was like a volcano about to erupt at any time and did not dare to touch his brow. What on earth made Director Du so angry and entangled?

"Sir, what happened?" In the end, Du Jiu's confidant came to ask cautiously.

Du Jiu had nothing to hide from his confidants, and said in a deep voice: "There is news from the Director-General. The seven places Mr. Yun analyzed, including Luohu County, there are three places with problems, and the other two places have problems.

They acted separately. In one of them, the general director personally led the team. In the end, they fell short and suffered heavy losses. Even the general director was injured. They obviously had a head-on confrontation with the organization. In the end, after a fierce fight, they were allowed to leave calmly.

…”

Having said this, Du Jiu paused and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty was extremely furious when he got the news. He scolded the Director General and was almost dismissed from his post. The Director-General did not dare to take credit anymore. This Luohu County

This is the last hope at the moment. Everyone must truly cooperate with Mr. Yun. If this place falls short because of us, let’s think about the consequences for ourselves!”

Hearing what he said, Du Jiu's deputy trembled, embarrassed and helpless.

His Majesty asked Mr. Yun to help, but it turned out that San Luo did not really cooperate and even concealed some information. He did not believe in his ability and did not want to lose face and humiliation, which led to this result.

But in the end, without any achievements, they suffered heavy losses, and had to cooperate with Yun Jing again and place their hopes on him.

What kind of thing is this? As a Sanluo person, it is a bit difficult to accept, but now you have to accept it if you don't accept it. After all, you messed up things yourself, you can't blame others.

After thinking for a while, the deputy said: "Sir, Mr. Yun will be fully responsible here. We can breathe a sigh of relief. After all, he is in charge, right? No matter how bad the situation is, we can't be blamed..."

"You think too much. Now that the situation has become like this, Mr. Yun doesn't know, and His Majesty still doesn't know? Indeed, if the situation here becomes worse under Mr. Yun's command, do you think His Majesty thinks it is his problem?

Is that because we acted on our own before and alerted the snake, which made this place more dangerous than before. No matter how bad it is, it’s not Mr. Yun’s problem, but ours. In the final analysis, it’s our incompetence. Moreover, do you really think that Mr. Yun can’t think of it?

Did we conceal something and act without authorization? If he couldn't even think of this, how could He De be invited by His Majesty? People are not sure how to laugh at us. Then, if there are achievements here under the leadership of Mr. Yun, that is

Because of his efforts, we appear even more incompetent, do you understand?" Du Jiu directly interrupted the deputy and gritted his teeth, his expression extremely ugly.

He knew very well that it was not Yunjing's fault that the situation here would get worse next. If there were achievements, it would be Yunjing's fault, which proved that he had the ability and means.

This is truly an extremely confusing situation.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and the deputy muttered in a low voice: "I don't believe that Yun Jing has the endurance to turn the tide. How old is he?"

"Forget it. If you are incompetent, you are incompetent. Why don't you show up to others?" Du Jiu shook his head and felt tired.

After a moment of silence, Du Jiu continued to change the topic and asked: "As long as the final problem can be solved, anything can be said. If it can't be solved, just weigh the consequences yourself. Let's not talk about it anymore. How are we mobilizing manpower? Don't let Mr. Yun come to take charge of the overall situation.

On the contrary, we failed to cooperate and made mistakes. Then His Majesty may not let the relevant personnel go as easily as before."

"Don't worry, Sir, the army is already in place and ready to stand by, with a total of 300,000, which is enough to wipe out the entire Luohu County. In addition, 20,000 good arresters have been mobilized from all sides, and there are thousands of elites in our arrest department.

Make sure nothing goes wrong," the deputy replied.

Hearing this, Du Jiu nodded slightly, but looked at his deputy and snorted coldly: "Do you think that with so many people, not to mention Mr. Yun taking charge of the overall situation, even a pig is enough to flatten Luohu County in front of you?

?”

"Sir, my subordinates definitely don't think so," the deputy quickly shook his head.

Without looking at him, Du Jiu said: "You know whether you think so, but what I want to tell you is, put away your little thoughts, the general director will personally lead the team to fight with that organization, and you will mobilize the manpower

Did you think it would be less than what we have here? But as a result, not only did we suffer heavy losses, but we also fell short of success, and most of the people who fought against that organization left calmly. Do you really think that just having a large number of people will be useful when facing that organization? If the command is not good,

These hundreds of thousands of people are probably not enough for the other party to kill!"

With his heart condensed, the deputy did not dare to say anything more and corrected his attitude. The seriousness of the situation was beyond anyone's imagination.

Nowadays, Sanluo is in a precarious situation. People are struggling to make ends meet due to drought. Manpower is needed everywhere. The army has to suppress riots caused by disasters everywhere. If there are further large-scale losses, it will be difficult to spare more manpower. It can be said that Sanluo has now

On the verge of collapse!

Time passes little by little, and the feeling of waiting is very uncomfortable. When will the so-called Mr. Yun Yunjing arrive?

The moon was at the top of the sky, and Yun Jing didn't wait for him here. Instead, he waited for the members of another arresting department who were urgently mobilized for support. There were only a few people, about a hundred or so, and they were led by a young man who was extremely handsome.

After the members of the arrest department arrived, they identified themselves and contacted Du Jiu immediately.

When you understand the identity of the young man who led the team, Du Jiurao is the deputy director of the arrest department. He does not rely on his high position and power. Instead, he politely said with astonishment: "Master Wu, you are a famous figure all over the world.

Talented man, why did you join our arrest department and do such dirty and tiring work?"

The so-called Mr. Wu is Wu Changkong, a great talent of the Sanluo Baiyun Academy and a top-ranked Jinshi in the Imperial Examination. When he went to Dali for exchanges, his knowledge overwhelmed the younger generation of Dali and made him speechless. He was famous all over the world.

With his knowledge and status, someone who should be in charge of the civil service group actually came to the arrest department, which is simply unworthy. It can even be said that he only came to the arrest department because he has a lot of brains, but he just came, and he was just a young man.

With the status of a small hundred households, there are thousands of households above them, and they hold positions such as deputy director and director. They are overqualified and underused, which is simply a loss to the country.

Wu Changkong was obviously very aware of his identity. He did not dare to show off in the face of Du Jiu. He respectfully bowed to his subordinates and said: "Master Du, what are you talking about? A mere reputation is nothing. They are all serving the country. It is the same everywhere. Arrests are the same."

I can also show what I have learned within the department, and I hope Mr. Du will take care of him in the future."

"Young Master Wu, you're welcome. I've heard about your talents for a long time. With your joining, our arrest department will be even more powerful. I hope you can make more suggestions in the future," Du Jiu said with a smile, not daring to be too boastful.

Although Wu Changkong is his subordinate now, don't go into Wu Changkong's origins. If he really treats him as a subordinate, does he really think that the teacher behind Wu Changkong is a vegetarian? He is a big boss in the court, and Du Jiu can offend him.

Sorry.

Wu Changkong hurriedly said: "If you don't dare to take it seriously, you will naturally have to do your best to seek political power in your position."

It has to be said that Wu Changkong's attitude made Du Jiu feel very comfortable. At this moment, his heart moved and he asked: "Is it because of that Yun Jing that Mr. Wu joined our arrest department?"

"There must be reasons for this. After all, Brother Yun was recommended to His Majesty by me. Now that he is here, I will fully cooperate with him. There is no reason to let him fight alone," Wu Changkong said calmly.

Du Jiu sighed when he heard this and said, "Young Master Wu is so confused. How could you ruin your career and join our arrest department just because of that cloud scene?"

It's not unreasonable to say Du Jiu. If Yunjing can't help Sang Luo solve the dilemma, as a recommender, Wu Changkong still has a future?

"I believe in Brother Yun's ability," Wu Changkong said.
