Chapter 168: Treasure, murderous aura [Subscribe]

"The Emperor granted the map and the Heavenly Soldiers Seal of the Immortal Terrace."

The words flashed on the message bead and were transmitted over.

"Send the map granted by the emperor to the top of the left peak of Huashan Mountain on a fast horse, and someone will come to get it."

"The Xiantai Seal should be placed on the top of Mount Tai."

"I'll have someone send it out tonight, and I'll contact you again."

The handwriting on the bead was dim, "The few people you left in Qiao County to protect the Cao family, I regard them as ants."

"Who did you catch?" Cao Cao asked.

no respond.

Cao Cao: "The Emperor has granted me the map and the seal of the Immortal Terrace. Are you sure you want them with me?"

Still no response.

Cao Cao placed the Xunzhu on the low mat and took out the silk book that he had obtained from Zhang Rang in Luoyang that year, which was suspected to be the source of Zhang Jiao's spiritual practice as rumored by the outside world.

The picture shows the Queen Mother of the West imparting Dharma to Emperor Huang.

This is the only thing in Cao Cao's hand that looks like the map granted by the emperor.

As for the Xiantai Seal...Cao Cao took out the bronze block.

If the map taken from Zhang Rang was granted by the emperor and people knew it was in Cao Cao's hands, there would still be traces to follow.

After all, Zhang Rang was killed by Cao Cao at that time, and many people knew about it.

But the bronze block was taken from Sequence No. 4, the extremely mysterious Qinling Tomb, and no one should know about it.

How does the other party know that the thing is with me?
It seems that these are the only two things in Cao Cao's hands that can be related to the Xiantai Heavenly Soldier Seal and the Emperor's Granted Map.

When the personal troops went to investigate, it was difficult to determine which important people in Cao’s camp had fallen into the hands of the enemy.

But Diao Chan, Yu Qing, and Wen Ji were all at home, safe and sound.

Only Bian Mei left the house, and she had been gone for less than an hour.

It was normal for her to leave the house, and sometimes she would go to other places to deal with the affairs of the Qingbi Li.

"Send someone to bring Qingyu back."

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, a soldier came to report:
"Madam Bian received internal information from the Qingbi Li and went out. She was attacked outside the city. The guards around her were fighting with someone."

Dian Wei said angrily: "I will go and see who is coming to die."

Seeing that Cao Cao agreed, Dian Wei stamped at the door of the study, then soared into the air like a cannonball and rushed straight out of the city.

"The other party is creating chaos. It is a means of changing reality and hiding the true purpose."

Jia Xu came in from outside and said, "Choosing to start the action near Changyi is definitely not really to capture the lady."

When Cao Cao and others were talking in the study, no one noticed that there were two servants in the mansion walking towards the back house.

These two men were used to walking around in the mansion, and had no problem being checked by the guards, so they approached the back house smoothly.

However, just as they entered the inner house, something unexpected happened.

As the two stepped into the inner house, they felt a darkness in front of their eyes, as if they had stepped into the deep sea. There was a layer of darkness covering their eyes and they could not see anything. The pressure around them was as heavy as a mountain.

The two were caught off guard and horrified. One of them blurted out, "There's a dragon!"

"It's an illusion..."

Another person also saw a giant dragon-like creature swimming in the darkness that filled all directions.

It was a dragon as big as a mountain, with only a corner of it visible in the darkness.

The two of them seemed to have fallen into some kind of mythical fantasy. They knew that what they saw couldn't be real, but they couldn't control their minds.

Suddenly, both of them screamed in unison.

The dragon stretched out its claws and grabbed them. Both of them felt pain all over their bodies, as if they were suppressed by a force invading their bodies.

At the same moment, the black dragon illusion disappeared.

The darkness receded.

What the two men saw was still the inner residence of Cao's mansion.

And Xu Chu was pressing down on the shoulders of the two men.

"Who asked you to come?" Xu Chu asked coldly.

Cao Cao walked out from behind the porch with his hands behind his back, and Jia Xu followed beside him.

Ling Jin also followed behind.

The two men entered the inner house and suddenly saw the illusion of a black dragon.

It was the effect of Ling Jin following Cao Cao's instructions and going to the 124 ancient tombs and bringing back the newly brought back Tiger Cave Dragon Pond map.

That scroll was a treasure of the Qimen Dunjia type. The most famous and similar method of the same period was Zhuge Liang's Eight Diagrams, which was said to be able to trap a hundred thousand troops.

"There is no point in arresting these two servants. It is just a means for someone to control their minds by taking advantage of their absence from the mansion to make purchases."

Jia Xu said: "They want to break into the mansion, or someone in the dark is creating chaos."

The two servants fell to the ground.

Cao Cao took out the message bead and found that the words on it were flashing again:

"I told you to deliver the stuff tonight.

Otherwise I will kill everyone around you one by one!"

The servants who broke into the inner house, and Bian Mei who was attacked when she left the house, and even the other party saying through the interrogation beads that some people were arrested, were all means of creating pressure in order to make Cao Cao give away the Emperor's Granting Map and the Immortal Terrace Heavenly Soldier Seal.

"Governor, we should use the same trick against them and dig them out. It will probably take one or two days." Jia Xu said thoughtfully.

[The other party is hiding in Liangqiu]

The entry suddenly pushed out words, and Cao Cao was stunned.

With the resources and manpower at his disposal, he could have caught the other party.

But as Jia Xu said, it will take some time.

Unexpectedly, the entries would be pushed, omitting the tedious steps in between.

Who is hiding in the shadows?
Cao Cao felt that it was closely related to the battle situation in Jizhou and the changes in Chang'an, and was not simply directed at himself, or the emperor's granting of the map and the seal of the Immortal Terrace.

Liangqiu is located southwest of Changyi, less than a hundred miles away, and the enemy is hiding not far away.

After a while, Bian Mei was brought back from outside by Dian Wei, safe and sound.

Liangqiu is a medium-sized county town in Shanyang County of Yanzhou.

It was almost dawn. In a mansion in the city, the lights were dim.

"Is there any movement in Changyi?"

"Yes, we are luring them to Mount Tai and dispersing our forces in the two directions of Mount Hua. We just received news that Cao Cao's men have been divided into two teams and left Changyi separately."

"Keep calm first. After the things are delivered, send a message to have them deliver them somewhere else, mobilize the troops of Yanzhou, and distract them."

"Have you contacted Xuzhou?"

"Well... once we deploy our troops, we must make sure that Cao's army will have trouble dealing with both."

"In addition to the ones we caught, there are others who went to Qiao County. I don't know if they succeeded."

"Have you arrested the people from the Yu family and that woman?"

Several people were sitting in the study, talking in whispers.

The leader was an old man, tall and thin, with white hair and beard, but his face was quite young and he had a slightly weird temperament.

A middle-aged man sat below him and asked, "Grandfather, why did you come here in person?"

"Let's see, have you captured one of the three great families?"

"Yes, Qingbi Li's people are not easy to deal with. The guards around her killed many of our men."

"I met her once in my early years. We have some connection. Take me to see her," said the old man.

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed and said, "Grandfather, it will be useful to keep this girl."

"Because it is useful, it is safer for me to go there in person."

The middle-aged man led the way.

The two of them came to a room in the inner house one after another.

During the process, the old man followed the middle-aged man, walking on tiptoe like a ghost, and landing silently.

Arriving at the room in the backyard, the middle-aged man pushed the door open.

After the old man came in, he looked at the couch in the room.

Bai Ke had a thin rope tied around her wrists, trapping her and making it difficult for her to break free.

Her charming eyes were looking at the two people who came in.

The old man looked him up and down.

Bai Ke was tied to the couch with her legs together. Her feet were soft and small under her shoes, and her skin was as crystal clear as jade.

Under the old man's gaze, Bai Ke arched her jade feet, feeling an inexplicable sense of fear.

Her slender and seductive legs moved upwards and her body swayed.

The middle-aged man next to him couldn't help but look over, his throat rolling.

The old man flipped his hand and took out a small tripod from his sleeve.

A little green smoke came out of the cauldron.

The green smoke was like a thin thread, entering Bai Ke's body from her mouth and nose with her breathing, and turned into a wisp of energy. It wandered around for a while, and then the old man activated the small cauldron, and the green smoke was collected into the cauldron in wisps.

The old man stared at the inside of the cauldron, the green smoke slowly turned into a light pink, and he said with satisfaction: "It is like flowing clouds and water, and the rise and fall of the tides.

No wonder the former Qingbi Li, the chief historian, was willing to take you, his female disciple, as his wife, at the cost of his reputation."

“You are the rouge powder of this generation, also known as the powder master.

The woman with the surname Bian is Lord Qing Ling.

"You two together are the rouge order that appears once every hundreds of years in the legend of prostitutes. It is said that every time rouge appears, the prostitutes will flourish. Is there a possibility of charming the king?"

The old man waved his hand, and Bai Ke found that he could speak:
"Who are you waiting for? Are you an enemy of my Qingbi Li or of Yanzhou?"

The old man smiled slightly and said, "We will use you to deal with Cao Cao."

"It's useless for you to arrest me. It's impossible to threaten the governor of Yanzhou." Bai Ke said.

"I'm not threatening him, that's not decent.

After today, you will forget what happened tonight, and you will be rescued by Cao Cao. When you have sex with him tomorrow, he will fall into our trap. "

"No matter how well prepared he is, he would never have thought we had this capability."

Bai Ke was stunned, and her cheeks turned slightly red as she thought about it. She herself did not deny the possibility of having sex with Cao Cao in the future.

"Don't even think about using me to harm him..."

"That's not up to you."

The old man opened his mouth and made a suction gesture towards Bai Ke, as if he was absorbing the breath in her body.

But he took a breath for a moment, then frowned:

"It turns out that Gu Qing was cultivating Rouge Dan, which sealed the Qi in your body. Fortunately, he died early, otherwise he would have enjoyed your great benefits in vain."

Gu Qing is the former Qingbi Li Shi, the master of Bai Ke, Bian Mei, and Xu Shao.

"You can't blame me for this. You have a special physique. You can't absorb anything from the outside, you can only absorb it from the inside. Only by practicing with you can I plant the seeds and plot against Cao Cao."

The old man looked surprised and waved his hand, asking the middle-aged man to leave.

The middle-aged man stammered, "Grandfather, my grandson has also learned the technique of attracting immortal seeds. Grandfather is old, so why not let my grandson do it for you..."

"Get out! I'm not too old to have sex," the old man shouted.

The middle-aged man was obviously unwilling. He walked to the door and looked back at Bai Ke on the couch.

The old man waved his sleeves and the door slammed shut.

Bai Ke's pretty face turned pale. She was imprisoned by power and was unable to cope with it.

"If you practice with me, you will obtain the unparalleled wonderful Dharma. This is a great opportunity that you have cultivated in your past lives. Don't be ungrateful for your blessings."

"Cao Cao already has the aura of a hegemon, and has developed a spiritual spirit of luck. He has the potential to conquer the world. If this is true, you can use him as a tripod, and in the future you may be able to glimpse the path to immortality. You should thank me."

The old man said slowly, "I let you speak, otherwise it would be a lot less fun.

But you have to cooperate with me, do you understand?"

Bai Ke found that he had regained the ability to speak: "Who are you?"

"I practice the Taoist Yin School of Immortal Arts. You can call me Gan Dao Ren."

The old man suddenly listened attentively, showing a look of surprise: "How is it possible that they actually found this place..."

At the same time, there was a loud bang outside, as if the door of the mansion was smashed by someone.

The energy that surged like a tidal wave swept into the house, and murderous intent filled the air!
