Leng Yun was wearing a white robe and walked from the moonlit stone path. She was holding a staff as tall as a person. The top was inlaid with a fist-sized blue crystal. It was surrounded by dazzling lightning, which was particularly special in the night. Eye-catching, full of majestic power.
Zhang Mu saw Leng Yun's expression of resentment, thinking that he was like this because he hadn't been able to get along with her recently. During this period of time, he was busy digging graves outside and had very little time to return to the city, let alone be alone with Leng Yun. No wonder he felt left out.
"Are you unhappy?"
Leng Yun just rolled her eyes at him and took two brisk steps side by side. The two of them walked together on the moonlight path.
The night is quiet, the moon is hazy, and there is a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere in the air.
Zhang Mu took the initiative to hold the soft and boneless jade hand and walked silently for a while, watching the breeze making shadows, watching the fish playing in the pond, watching the branches swaying, and enjoying a hard-won moment of peace.
"When did you say Lao Hei and Su Qian started?"
Leng Yun said casually: "For a while, Lao Hei has been the deputy commander of Huang Quan, and he is also the general manager. All matters in the regiment, big and small, are under his control. He is an upright man and has a sense of responsibility. He has many contacts with people from the lower class, and the little girl who secretly likes him is no less fond of you than the little girl who likes you."
Zhang Mu laughed.
Lei Ming is a very good person, with a strong sense of justice and a strong sense of responsibility. He is a little old, but it is not a problem. The human race is no longer the human race on earth, especially humans in the realm of heavenly spirits. It is not too difficult to extend their life span by four to five times.
In fact, Zhang Mu has never interfered in the private lives of his subordinates. He can do whatever he likes, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for the team.
However, this time, Zhang Mu was happy from the bottom of his heart. Lei Ming is the deputy leader of the Huangquan mercenaries and one of Zhang Mu's most powerful subordinates. Su Qian is the most talented in production skills among the Huangquan production department. Yes, her brother Su Principle is a master of alchemy and masters the method of refining the Heaven-Building Pill. No matter which regiment the two brothers appear in, they all greatly increase the strength of the regiment.
Lei Ming and Su Qian can form a pair, which will undoubtedly greatly promote the stability of the Underworld Mercenary Group.
Leng Yun said with a little dissatisfaction: "Look, even Lao Hei is getting faster, only a dull piece of wood is left, and he still hasn't figured it out yet!"
Seeing his resentful look, Zhang Mu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He shook his head and said, "I don't feel embarrassed, I just feel that the time has come. After the incident on Devil's Island is over this time, why should the main city appoint a city lord and let me be the leader?" . At that time, he was the emperor of a separate country, and there were no obstacles or worries anymore. Wouldn’t it be better to marry you openly and honestly? "
"Really?" Leng Yun opened her clear and beautiful eyes wide, like a delighted child.
"This is my promise."
Leng Yun felt a ball of cotton stuffed into her heart, light and soft, but she quickly thought: "But what to do about Caiyan, and there is Rongrong as a stumbling block, we must consider their feelings..."
Zhang Mu said: "It's better than procrastinating all the time, isn't it? Besides, you and I have been together for so long, I don't believe that this little thing can cause a rift in our relationship?"
Leng Yun was noncommittal.
"Wood! Wood!"
"Brother!"
The two wanted to take a walk and chat, but before they had gone very far, several shouts rang out in front of them. Du Rongrong, Chen Tingting, Qin Xiaoshi, and Lin Caiyan blocked the road and stopped them.
Zhang Mu guessed that this would be the result. It was almost impossible to take a walk alone.
Finally, under the instigation of a group of people, Zhang Mu took a few people down the mountain, went shopping and had fun, and then returned to the castle.
…
During these two days.
Zhang Mu remotely mobilized the investigation bureaus in various cities and sent out several mercenaries to investigate the Devil's Sea and look for clues left by the Yue Organization. In the main city, the trial of Chira did not go smoothly, because in the middle of Chira's interrogation, the people from the Green Alliance who knew psychic magic had not yet arrived, and Chira was directly assassinated in a mysterious manner and imprisoned.
The main city has no more information than Zhang Mu.
Regarding the investigation of Devil's Island, the main city is also carrying out the investigation and dispatching a large number of elite investigation teams. However, Devil's Island itself is a very complicated place. Because it is connected to the West Sea, the Naga tribe of the West Sea can enter directly, and Devil's Island is also Demons are rampant, strange creatures live, and it is shrouded in poisonous fog and miasma all year round. It is a place where ordinary creatures find it difficult to survive.
The area is so inaccessible that investigation is difficult to carry out.
Zhang Mu read a lot of information about the Devil Sea, looked up the races and monsters of the Devil Sea, and finally discovered a characteristic. Regardless of the information in the hands of the indigenous people or the information collected by the alliance, there are only records from recent times. This place seems to have appeared for no reason. And demons are running rampant, which is very unreasonable.
The formation of the Devil's Sea has been an unsolved mystery since the establishment of the Xihai Province.
Because the location of the Devil's Sea is so abrupt, a piece of the continent seems to have been dug out. Under normal natural conditions, it is impossible for such a terrain to be formed. This must be caused by some external force or unknown natural opportunity.
In addition, the Devil's Sea itself has huge problems.
This ocean is full of evil negative abilities, and the surrounding environment is out of place and seems too abrupt.
Zhang Mu searched through the information from the Investigation Bureau and the Intelligence Bureau. There are several well-founded theories about the origin of the Devil's Sea. Among them, the most reasonable one is the "crack theory in another world". It is said that the location of the Devil's Sea appeared thousands of years ago. An alien rift, because when the world rift is generated, it will produce a terrifying tearing force that even the Holy Spirit cannot match, thus tearing apart a piece of land of millions of square kilometers, and the seawater from the West Sea pours in, eventually forming the Devil's Sea.
The cracks gradually stabilized and did not disappear over time. Therefore, the energy from the other world was continuously poured in and eventually filled the Devil Sea. As a result, countless monsters, demons, and devils were born, forming a unique and special environment on the west coast.
Zhang Mu looked at some evidence.
This statement is relatively reliable.
The Moon Organization collects a large number of rare treasures and then concentrates them on the Devil's Islands. Could this be related to this? Zhang Mu has checked the list of materials. Among these materials are cooking materials, alchemy materials, forging materials, and tailoring materials. They involve almost every field. They are not likely to be used for manufacturing and making holy artifacts.
Zhang Mu suspected that it was for some kind of ceremony, and these were the materials that needed to be consumed in the ceremony.
"If the Moon Organization wants to hold some kind of ceremony, and the venue is chosen to be held on Devil's Island, then it must be related to the rift in the other world." Zhang Mu expressed his opinion.
Lei Ming and Long Hao began to think deeply.
Long Hao said: "Dozens of rare and precious materials are actually used as materials. What kind of ceremony will this be?"
"It's hard to say." Zhang Mu guessed: "Perhaps it is to expand the crack, and use the tearing force that even the Holy Spirit cannot resist when the crack is generated to tear the entire West Sea Province into pieces. Or maybe it is to call on some tyrannical demon from another world. , using powerful demons to retaliate against the Green Alliance’s colonization of the West Sea Province.”
Long Hao disagreed: "This is not good for the Yue Organization, and it is also not good for Xihai Naga."
Lei Ming nodded and said: "That's right. If the entire west coast is destroyed just to retaliate against the Green Alliance, wouldn't the indigenous people have no land to live on? The Naga tribe in the West Sea will not support it. The Naga tribe is a marine race, and the Green Alliance is a land race. There is no direct conflict between the interests of both parties, and there is no need to form a deadly feud."
Zhang Mu is not a prophet. There are only a few possibilities that he can guess. What exactly happened can only be known by personally investigating to get to the bottom of things.
A mercenary walked in: "Captain! Please see me from other gods!"
"Has there been any results for the other gods?" Zhang Mu said to the mercenary, "In ten minutes, you take him to the garden to see me."
The other gods took Izanagi and Izanami into Huangquan Castle, and were led by a Huangquan mercenary to the back garden of the castle. Zhang Mu stood in a pavilion in the middle of the lake. There were several snacks on the table in the pavilion, as well as a jade pot and several wine glasses.
Zhang Mu was sitting by the pavilion in plain clothes, looking at the lake view, drinking some wine, and enjoying himself, very leisurely.
The gods don't know why, but every time they see Zhang Mu, they feel like they can't see through it. Zhang Mu always seems to be one step ahead of him, understanding everything and holding it in his hands.
"We have done the job." The three of them walked into the pavilion and stood in front of Zhang Mu, "I will take the mercenaries from heaven and pretend to steal Pluto's coffin. According to your plan, you will set up an ambush and attack on the way. Trap, suddenly launch a sneak attack. We will cooperate with the underworld mercenaries to catch all the heaven mercenaries and eradicate them!"
Zhang Mu nodded: "I won't ask about the process. I think with your means and abilities, you must have a way. As for where we ambush, how and when we took action, you don't need to know. After this incident, once upon a time The matter will no longer be pursued. You can rest assured to return to Kuroshio City to develop. From now on, Huang Quan will never interfere in the affairs of the mercenaries of the gods. Now, Kuroshio City has basically been replaced from the city lord to the top management of the three departments and nine bureaus, and no successors have come. , is a good opportunity to show off your ambitions.”
The other god clasped his hands in fists and said, "Thank you very much."
Zhang Mu secretly exerted mind control. Although other gods were good at acting and devoted themselves to it, they could even deceive him. However, Zhang Mu still caught a fleeting killing thought.
Zhang Mu walked to the table with a calm expression, personally picked up the jade pot on the table, and poured some wine. The wine was extremely clear, glowing with sparkling light, like the stars and the Milky Way contained in it.
"This is the worry-free wine given to me by the city lord. It is a rare wine in the world. I wish our cooperation will be smooth and happy."
The three of them directly raised the jade cup and drank it all in one gulp.
The other gods seemed to be a little impatient to wait, "There is no need to delay, otherwise Gabriel will become suspicious, we must act as soon as possible!"
Zhang Mu nodded and said, "Okay!"
The two briefly discussed the plan, and the god told Zhang Mu the number of people Gabriel had brought, and then left the city in a sneaky way and came to a forest outside the west of the city.
Gabriel was wearing a set of golden battle armor, and behind him stood several white men in the realm of heavenly spirits, all of whom were elite members of the heavenly mercenary group. In addition to hundreds of powerful heavenly mercenaries, there were also black-horned mercenaries from Nile. Soldier, Baile has been hiding in Tibet for a while. He has long lost his former majesty and is gloomy and terrifying, like a ghost. Nile used his contacts of more than ten years to lobby four or five indigenous tribes. Each indigenous tribe dispatched one or two powerful people in the realm of heavenly spirits, plus thousands of fierce and powerful warriors.
When the other gods saw Gabriel, they immediately said, "How?"
The other gods nodded and said: "He will set up an ambush on the way. We will deal with him according to the plan!"
"We can deal with Zhang Mu's undead army." Gabriel paused, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
Bie Tianshen said solemnly: "You should understand that now I want him to die more than you! If this opportunity is lost, I will never have a chance to make a move or turn around."
"We all want him dead!"
Nile also gritted his teeth and said.
"Walk!"
The nearly ten thousand people all boarded the battleship and headed in one direction.
