The atmosphere in the demon town of Mianyuan County was a little too tense.

It's like encountering some difficult eucalyptus.

In particular, many night watchmen, after seeing Qin Shaoyou and the others come back, heaved a sigh of relief, showing a look of relief and finding the backbone, which made Qin Shaoyou affirm his judgment.

Qin Shaoyou was about to bring a few people over to ask about the situation, when he saw Ye Zhiqiu, Shan Daonian, Cai Guizhong and others came out of the police room.

Although Cai Guizhong has his own City Emperor Temple, he likes to go to the Town Demon Division.

Not only Cai Guizhong was like this, but also the ghosts and ghosts under his hands.

Except for patrolling and guarding the house, the rest of the time, he likes to stay in the demon town.

After all, they are used to the environment and atmosphere here.

For this reason, the Mianyuan County Town Demon Division specially provided them with a poor room for their office use.

Ye Zhiqiu and the others who came out to greet them also breathed a sigh of relief, cupped their hands and said, "My lord, you are finally back..."

In the middle of speaking, Ye Zhiqiu saw someone lift the sackcloth on the carriage, revealing the original Cen Biqing, and immediately became nervous.

"My lord, what's wrong with Xiaoqing?"

"It's okay, her cultivation base has broken through, and she has entered a state of hibernation and shedding her skin."

Qin Shaoyou's answer made Ye Zhiqiu breathe a sigh of relief.

After Qin Shaoyou dismounted, he asked Zhu Xiucai to find some smart people to move Cen Biqing to her house so as not to frighten the people outside the yamen.

Outside the gate of the Yaosi Town in Mianyuan County, it has developed into a lively small market--those who sell goods, perform acrobatics, and more.

The main reason is that everyone feels that the town of demons is safer than other places, and gradually a business climate has developed.

Zhu Xiucai said hello, jumped off the horse, did not call anyone else, but did it himself, instigated blood to release, lifted Cen Biqing who was in the state of a big green python, and sent her back to the room.

Qin Shaoyou handed over the horse to the night watchman who was coming up, and put a stick of incense on the statue of the ancestor of the Nine Heavens Dangmo, and then called Ye Zhiqiu, Shan Daonian, Cai Guizhong and other officials from the trial hundred households and the chief banner to enter his messenger room together .

Then he asked seriously: "I see that the atmosphere in the yamen is a little tense, did you encounter some trouble?"

"Your Excellency, you really have eyes like torches."

Ye Zhiqiu, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, has also learned how to flatter.

It's just that he was thin-skinned, and gave up with a simple slap, and began to answer Qin Shaoyou's question, making it too late for Shan Daonian to agree.

"Some time ago, the Xunyao Shop in Quannan Town sent someone to send a message, saying that a caravan appeared at their place.

The caravan had complete procedures, and even had a pass issued by the military, so at first, the people from the Xunyao Shop in Quannan Town did not suspect them, but did routine inspections and cross-examinations, and found no problems.

But the guys in the inn where the caravan stayed found that their behavior was a bit strange.

Although this caravan brought a batch of goods, they were not in a hurry to sell them, nor did they inquire about the market conditions of the goods in the surrounding towns. Instead, they were interested in the price of food and where there were more refugees and bandits.

In addition, the guys of this caravan often run on the official road outside the town..."

Qin Shaoyou frowned.

Although Mianyuan County is not the front line, there are post roads and official roads leading to the front line.

And Quannan Town is located between two mountains, belonging to a traffic throat.

If Yizhou wants to send troops from the northwest line to support the front line of Qingtang, they will all pass through the official road and post road outside Quannan Town.

In addition, the supply of food, grass and military equipment is also one of the main routes in Quannan Town.

In such a special period, a caravan with strange behavior appeared outside Quannan Town, which really made people suspicious.

So Qin Shaoyou asked: "Have you investigated that caravan?"

"Investigated."

"How did it turn out? Are there any problems?"

"According to the joint investigation between our people and Cai Chenghuang's ghosts and ghosts, it is finally determined that the caravan is very likely to be a spy sent by Qingtang! Even if it is not someone who infiltrated from Qingtang, It was also bought by Qingtang."

"What is the basis?"

"Judge Wu took Black and White Impermanence, and while the people in the caravan were asleep at night, he quietly launched a search, and found that there were people in the caravan carrying the unique magic cards from Qingtang. In addition, these people were still in the official road outside the town. Some monitoring spells were placed in several remote spots. We checked them out afterwards, and found that those spells were different from those popular in my Great Xia Dynasty, and belonged to the category of Qingtang witchcraft..."

Ye Zhiqiu told their findings one by one.

After Monk Ma listened, he couldn't help frowning.

"In this way, it is really possible that this group of people are spies sent by Qingtang? Are they spying on the military situation in Quannan Town?"

After Zhu Xiucai settled Cen Biqing, he also ran to Qin Shaoyou's messenger room.

After pulling the genius doctor to understand the information in a low voice, he squinted his eyes, twitched the beard at the corner of his mouth, and muttered: "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as spying on the military... Maybe they also want to rob food!"

Qin Shaoyou nodded in agreement with Zhu Xiucai's guess, and added: "It may not be the way of robbing grain, but poisoning the grain and grass."

It can be seen from the voodoo plague curse that the wizards in Qingtang are very good at playing with poison.

And the intelligence materials collected in the Zhenyaosi also mentioned that the wizards on the Qingtang side are good at using poison and like to use poison.

So it is not impossible to poison the grain and grass.

Once they poisoned and managed to hide from the food officer's inspection, the damage would probably be much greater than simply robbing the food road!

Zhu Xiucai is also a smart person. Hearing what Qin Shaoyou said~lightnovelpub.net~, he immediately reacted. While taking a breath, he also tore off a few beards.

"If the Green Pond sent people to sneak in to poison the grain and grass, then the situation would be serious! My lord, you must quickly report this speculation, no matter how likely it is, you must guard against it!"

Qin Shaoyou thought so too.

There are many official roads leading to the front line, and here in Mianyuan County is just a point on one of them.

No matter how well Mianyuan County is doing, if something goes wrong in other places, it will still have a great impact on the front line.

If the front line is broken and Qingtang barbarians enter Yizhou, the situation will be unimaginable!

Qin Shaoyou immediately wrote a letter, took out the big moth from the satchel, wrapped the envelope with beeswax, fed it and swallowed it, and asked it to send a letter to Qin Qiaoer, and report the matter to Qi Longfei through Qin Qiaoer.

For this kind of matter, it is more appropriate for Qi Longfei to come forward.

After releasing the big moth, Qin Shaoyou asked Ye Zhiqiu, Cai Guizhong and others:

"How many are the spies pretending to be caravans? What is their strength? Have you figured it out?"

"There are sixty-three people, forty of them are stewards and buddies of the caravan, and twenty-three are escorts. But according to our observation, the twenty-three escorts are also theirs.

As for strength, only the twenty-three people who pretended to be bodyguards showed something.

Eight of them are seventh rank, thirteen are eighth rank, and two **** heads are sixth rank.

As for the stewards and fellows of the forty caravans, I don't know whether they used secret techniques to conceal their cultivation, or there were supernatural objects around them, so that we couldn't detect their details.

However, based on the strength of those bodyguards, we speculate that the cultivation base of the other forty people should also be at the seventh or eighth rank, and there are likely to be many masters of the fifth or sixth rank..."
