So, under Zhou Lihua's order, the Tianjian, the largest intelligence organization in the southern region, began to mobilize.
Zhou Lihua waited in the capital for news.
One day, two days, five days, ten days passed quickly, but those outsiders seemed to have evaporated from the southern region without any news.
In fact, just over ten days is not enough to fully mobilize the Tianjian. The area of the Southern Region is too large, and there are many remote places. It will take at least more than a month to fully mobilize!
But Zhou Lihua still began to feel restless.
She didn't know how many outsiders there were, what their strength was, and what purpose they came to the Southern Region.
The Southern Region was Zhou Lihua's back garden, where the intruders were lurking!
It was the first time she had faced such an opponent since she assumed power.
The invisible danger is really worrying.
At this moment, Jiang Qinyu appeared.
"Qin Yu, do you have any news?"
"Yes!" Qin Yu nodded and said, "Five days ago, our Tianjian inspector found a corpse, which was killed in the same way as the soldiers at the ruins. It may have been shot by the same person!"
"Where?"
"Outside Kuihe City!"
"Kuihe City?" Zhou Lihua frowned and asked, "Do you have any information about those people?"
Qin Yu said: "No, they didn't stay in Kuihe City, they just passed by!"
"Can you determine the time of that person's death?"
"The identity of the deceased has been confirmed. The deceased was an early-stage congenital expert in Kuihe City. According to his family, he left the house six days ago. The place where the deceased died was not far from Kuihe City. It should be the day he left the house. I met an outsider."
"Their goal is not me!" Zhou Lihua asked in a low voice, "Then what is their goal?"
Zhou Lihua pursed her lips seriously, turned to look at the map of the Southern Regions hanging on the wall behind the Imperial Study Room, and used a brush to mark a dot on the approximate location of the outer ruins of the Nanjue Mountains, and a black dot on the location of Kuihe City. Dian murmured to himself: "From the Nanjue Mountains to Kuihe City, along the way, the Tianjian Supervisor didn't find their whereabouts, so they probably didn't enter the city..."
"It took me ten days to come back from the Nanjue Mountain Range, and it took them more than ten days to rush from the Nanjue Mountain Range to Kuihe City. If it is an outsider with a master of breaking the sky, it must be desperate. If it is a supernatural power Early stage masters, time is also very urgent... They came to the Southern Region with a certain purpose, and they are likely to go straight to the target direction!"
"For thousands of years, the terrain of the Southern Territory has basically remained unchanged. The map of ten thousand years ago is still applicable now, so their goal..."
Zhou Lihua pressed a stroke on a small point in the Nanjue Mountains, then connected to Kuihe City, and stroked straight to the sea in the Southern Region.
She looked at the Thousand Misty Mountains marked by dark red writing on a map marked in black, and said to Jiang Qinyu: "Immediately invite someone who is familiar with the topography, geography, and history of the Southern Region to help me analyze this straight line." In the nearby areas that we pass, are there any ancient sites with a long history or whose origins are difficult to verify, the kind that existed when the Juannan Mountain Range was formed thousands of years ago... I think it should be very rare!"
Qin Yu asked: "Your Majesty, is this okay?"
"Why not?" Zhou Lihua asked back, "Apart from this, what else can we do?"
Today's capital city of Zhou Kingdom is the center of the entire southern region. Many talented people are willing to come here, and all kinds of talents gather here.
The talent that Zhou Lihua wanted, the Tianchao quickly found four of them.
Tianchao will occasionally deal with such people, and even ask them some historical secrets in the history of the Southern Region.
The two ordinary old men with white hair and bright heads are the well-informed and knowledgeable old Jijiu of the Imperial College.
An innate martial artist who lost his legs and sat on a wooden wheelchair. The old man with disabled legs used to be a mercenary. He loved adventures when he was young. For more than a hundred years, he traveled to many secret and dangerous places in the entire southern region. In the last adventure, he lost his legs!
Traveling all over the world for more than a hundred years, his experience is far beyond that of ordinary people!
There is also a veteran in the army, who is also extremely rich in experience.
Before they came, Zhou Lihua ordered someone to take down the map and put it on the floor of the spacious hall.
After saluting to Zhou Lihua, the four of them followed Qin Yu's instructions, lay down on the map, followed the straight line drawn by Zhou Lihua, crossed Kuihe City, and began to search for clues. Once there were similar places, they immediately marked them with red pens.
While looking at the map, the old priests ordered the students to read the materials, while the veterans and mercenaries compared the place names on the map and pondered hard.
The project is a bit huge, but the number of people responsible for searching for clues is also increasing, and finally increased to 21 people!
All of these twenty-one people are near the capital of Zhou Kingdom and have extremely high attainments in the topography, geography, and historical knowledge of the Southern Region.
Among them, there are not only mercenaries, generals, and old scholars, but also the retired old head of the business, the old shopkeeper of the antique shop, the captured gangster, the top master of the top power...
Everyone's knowledge is limited.
Some people think the origin of this place is unknown, but maybe others know its background!
Therefore, they are uniting again and discussing to exclude most of the places, leaving seven places that best meet Zhou Lihua's requirements.
Across Kuihe City, the history may be as long as ten thousand years!
Zhou Lihua lowered her head, carefully looked at the seven locations on the map, and frowned.
In some places, she hadn't even heard of it.
"Your Majesty, you can ask them to arrange them in an order of importance, mystery, and danger!"
Zhou Lihua turned around, saw Qingyan behind her, immediately clapped her hands and said: "Yes, yes, yes, let me arrange the order!"
There were more than twenty people, an old Jijiu pointed to the Thousand Misty Mountain Range, and the others nodded, so the old head of the firm marked a "one" on the Thousand Misty Mountain Range.
As for the other order, it took a while to decide.
"Thousand Misty Mountain Range?" Zhou Lihua asked in a low voice, "Who knows about the Thousand Misty Mountain Range?"
More than 20 people, you look at me, I look at you, but no one stands up.
Until the old mercenary said: "Your Majesty, I know some legends about the Thousand Misty Mountain Range!"
"Legends are also good, I want to hear them!"
A lot of history is hidden in legends.
So the old mercenary who lost his legs said: "I once wanted to enter the Thousand Misty Mountain Range, but I stood in front of the Thousand Misty Mountain Range for a day and a night, but I didn't have the courage to enter. I was unwilling to spend more than a month. The Thousand Misty Mountains circled around..."
"Get to the point!"
"I found a small village near the Qianmi Mountains and stayed in the village for a while. According to the villagers there, they belonged to the royal family of the Nanyue Empire ten thousand years ago. Because they made mistakes back then, they were fined to Qianmi. They also said that a demon powerful enough to destroy the world is sealed in the Thousand Misty Mountains!"
Zhou Lihua asked in a low voice: "A demon?"
The old mercenary quickly said: "That's just what the local villagers said, and I don't know if it's fake... But it's very likely that it's fake. I've heard many such legends all over the world, and a little barbarian in a remote place said that he They are the descendants of the demons! It turned out that they were not beaten at all!"
I couldn’t go back, coded in the Internet cafe, almost fell asleep, and woke up after going to the bathroom... I owe this month and I will definitely make it up... By the way, let me add, I didn’t wake up from urine!
