The northern barbarians under Ashina Zuo fully demonstrated their wolf nature. Within ten days of arriving in Gyeonggi Province, they turned the entire Gyeonggi Province region upside down.

Neither the common people nor the soldiers are their opponents.

However, when the prairie barbarian cavalry chose to attack Zhongnan Mountain, they found that they had made the wrong decision.

"Khan, there seems to be a restriction around Zhongnan Mountain"

After some investigation, Ashinazo's personal soldiers gave the prairie barbarian king a very desperate answer.

Although the relationship between the prairie barbarians and the demon sect is very unusual, not all prairie barbarians can become demon sects, let alone become demon sect priests.

Bloodline is of course extremely important in this, but qualifications and luck are also indispensable.

Now, although the Demon Sect went south with the prairie barbarian army, they basically stayed on the northern slope plateau fifty miles away from Chang'an City...

In their words, the aura emitted by the Chang'an Formation there is the weakest.

As practitioners of the Demon Sect, these priests are naturally afraid of the strong and yang aura emanating from the Chang'an City formation.

And the strong and yang aura exuded by Zhongnan Mountain seems to be no weaker than that of Chang'an City.

This made Ashina Zhuo feel puzzled.

You must know that the reason why Chang'an City exudes such a strong aura is not only because of the large formation, but also because of the countless people.

Two million people together form the unique temperament of Chang'an City. The strong and yang aura it exudes is not so much the aura of the city as it is the aura exuded by these people.

But Zhongnan Mountain is different.

Ashina Zhuo really couldn't imagine why Zhongnan Mountain exuded such a strong aura.

You must know that although there are many people living in seclusion on Zhongnan Mountain, together they are only a fraction of the number of people in Chang'an City.

As for saying there are restrictions around Zhongnan Mountain, this is even more difficult to understand.

Could it be that there is an expert living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain?

Thinking about it carefully, Ashina Zhuo felt a sense of fear.

As a descendant of the White Wolf, Ashina Zhuo is willing to believe in these myths.

The high priest once said that there is a paradise near Chang'an City, and the powerful Haoran Academy is hidden in this paradise.

Could it be that the blessed land of cave heaven mentioned by the high priest is located in Zhongnan Mountain?

Although Ashina Zhuo didn't know much about the history of the Zhou Dynasty, he also knew that the people of the Central Plains, especially the people of Gyeonggi Province, had the habit of living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain.

Specifically, many hermits choose to live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain.

The reason is probably not because of the mountains and rivers, but because of the powerful aura exuded by the mountain.

For a practitioner, this charm is very important.

Sometimes the only thing that is lacking in practice is that one breath. If you stick to that breath, chances are that your chances will skyrocket.

But if the tone is not bitten, no matter how long it takes, no matter how much effort is expended, it will be of no avail.

"Order the withdrawal of troops."

Originally, Ashina Zhuo planned to go into Zhongnan Mountain and plunder. But now it seems that he has no choice but to give up this idea.

The army encountered a restriction, not to mention whether they could successfully enter the Zhongnan Mountains. Even if they were lucky enough to enter the mountains, they would definitely face many unknown dangers.

This made Ashina Zhuo feel extremely scared.

Rather than facing these unknown fears, it is better to try our best to avoid them

His mentor really did not disappoint him!

When Taoist Master Qinglian informed Zhao Xun of the important clues, Zhao Xun thought in his mind.

For Zhao Xun, Emperor Xianlong, a dog emperor who did not want to be the son of a man, was his biggest concern now.

Emperor Xianlong ordered him to investigate the assassination of King Yan. If he failed to get the results and track down the murderer, he really didn't know how to explain to Emperor Xianlong.

And if he couldn't give an explanation to Emperor Xianlong, God knows how Emperor Xianlong would take the opportunity to suppress Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun could clearly see that Emperor Xianlong had been unhappy with him for a long time, but he just never had a chance to show up.

"Teacher, if the clues are really in the East City, I can only say that this assassin knows how to disguise and hide."

The so-called great hermit is hidden in the market, wealth and honor are found in danger.

The most dangerous places are often the safest places.

Nowadays, the grassland barbarians are moving south in large numbers, and they have the absolute upper hand in terms of momentum.

At this time, Chang'an City is under martial law and no one can enter or leave.

There must be a lot of panic in Chang'an City.

If you want to influence people's hearts to the greatest extent, the east and west cities are obviously the best choices.

Not only is there a huge flow of people here, but it’s also a mixed bag of people.

Compared with the West Market, the East Market has another advantage, that is, the shops here are the properties of Chang'an's rich and powerful.

With a big tree at your back to enjoy the shade, almost no one wants to offend the merchants in Dongshi.

Because behind these businessmen there may be princes, princes, dukes, or marquises.

Before clarifying these intricate relationships, it is not a safe thing to rush into the market.

The assassin probably took advantage of this and the psychology of the people in Chang'an City, trying his best to hide his whereabouts as much as possible.

"It's terrible. That's really terrible."

Zhao Xun thought about it carefully and realized that the assassin had another motive for hiding in Dongshi, and that was to try his best to deceive people.

There is a huge flow of people here, so if rumors are spread, they will spread very quickly.

People are easy to follow blindly. Once a chain of transmission is formed on a large scale, the impact cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.

At that time, if the radiation spreads from Dongshi, it won't be long before the 108th Street will be shrouded in rumors and fear.

"This assassin understands people's hearts very well."

Zhao Xun said with emotion.

This kind of person is the real master, who not only kills people but also kills people.

"Teacher, although Dongshi is large, its scope has been reduced a lot compared to Chang'an City. We will definitely be able to find him as long as we conduct a large-scale search in Dongshi."

"That won't work."

My mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi shook his head and said: "This person's cultivation level is not low, and he is very good at concealment. If we search in a large area, he will definitely be able to detect it. When he moves again, we will try to catch him.

It’s difficult.”

"What should we do?"

"If we can't investigate openly, we can only make secret visits."

Tsk tsk.

Zhao Xun thought to himself, "How wonderful."

"If you want to make a secret investigation, you can only use bad people."

The hidden piles of bad people are scattered in the 108 squares of Chang'an City.

There are naturally many of them in the East Market.

"Well, I'll do it your way. But make sure you don't make it public. It wouldn't be nice if you alert the enemy."

"Don't worry, mentor. We bad guys have our own rules when it comes to handling cases. When we can't make any noise, we will try our best to keep a low profile and never let anyone notice. By the time he realizes that something is wrong, we have already set up a dragnet on all sides."

…

…

Zhao Xun does have this confidence.

As the bad handsome agent, Zhao Xun now holds great power in his hands.

It can be said that theoretically he can mobilize all the bad guys in Chang'an City.

Of course, except for those thorns.

Zhao Xun was parachuted in as the acting bad guy, and those crimson-robed bad guys must be very dissatisfied.

Of course, Zhao Xun had no hope of being able to mobilize them.

As long as the soldiers below are willing to charge into battle, it will be fine.

After Zhao Xun gave the order, the bad guys hidden in Dongshi immediately became active and started searching everywhere.

Of course, this kind of search is conducted secretly and will not affect the normal life and operations of Dongshi merchants.

At the same time, Zhao Xun was not idle and began to focus on reading the files about Dongshi merchants.

The information of merchants in Dongshi is strictly recorded for the government to call at any time.

This information is updated every month. It can be said that if the assassin wants to hide, he must hide in Dongshi a month ago.
