Zheng Xingyong's face changed instantly and he no longer concealed his feelings. With his steps, his speed suddenly surged and he began to escape with all his might.

Just as Li Xiuran was about to chase after him, he saw a flash of figure in front of him. Yang Wenxin had already leaped forward one step ahead of him, and his steps were connected to the ground, and each step was several meters away. He took more than ten steps and chased Zheng Xingyong closer, and then suddenly raised his hand to grab him.

Feeling the strong wind coming from behind, Zheng Xingyong was startled, a ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he directly drew his sword and slashed backwards.

Yang Wenxin dodged sideways, and at the same time drew a knife in his hand, beheading Zheng Xingyong.

Zheng Xingyong hurriedly resisted the sword with his sword, but Yang Wenxin's strength was a little beyond his imagination. The two swords collided, and the huge force instantly poured out from the blade and directly smashed him to the ground.

Yang Wenxin jumped over and followed, and the long knife in his hand cut through the air, putting it on his neck.

Zheng Xingyong's face turned pale in an instant.

Li Xiuran breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed over with Chi Qingwan and Lin Fengkai, looking at Zheng Xingyong and said in a deep voice: "Say, who buried the formation base?"

"Everyone and every other are dead. Do you think I will say it? Want to know, wait for the next life..."

Treason is a death sentence, and being caught is more likely to be worse than death. Zheng Xingyong was decisive and looked at Li Xiuran with resentment, with a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, Li Xiuran stepped forward and kicked him hard on the chin.

Zheng Xingyong's chin was dislocated directly, and the rest of the words were also held back. His face looked painful and his eyes were shocked. He hurriedly raised his hand to take his chin back.

Yang Wenxin drew his back and patted his hand off, then kicked him on the shoulder, kicked him to the ground, then stepped forward and stepped firmly on his back, grabbed his hair with one hand, pulled his head up, put the other hand into his mouth, and pulled out a poisonous fang.

"It seems you will not die for the time being." Li Xiuran's lips curled slightly. He suffered a loss last time when he was in Qingyun. How could he make the same mistake again?

"If you don't say anything, I can only review it carefully. I believe you will speak."

Li Xiuran raised his head, glanced at the officers and soldiers who were shocked by the sudden change, and said in a deep voice: "Who is Zheng Xingyong's confidant?"

He can transport the base of the formation into the city and still bury it under the city gate. The workload is quite large, and it is impossible for him to complete it alone. He must have help.

The officers and soldiers hesitated, and no one spoke.

Li Xiuran's face darkened: "Zheng Xingyong plotted to rebel and has been captured now. As his subordinates, you are already suspicious. If you don't hurry up and make meritorious contributions, do you want to follow in his footsteps?"

"It's Luo Yu!"

"And Ma Ming'an, both of them are Zheng Xingyong's confidants and have the closest relationship with him."

The officers and soldiers immediately looked panicked and quickly pointed at the two of them to separate their relationship.

"It's not me, it's not my business!"

"Sir, I dare not rebel even if you take advantage of your humble posts!"

Luo Yu and Ma Mingan who were accused of the attack instantly turned pale and they made repeated excuses.

"It's up to you. I'll find out after reviewing it. Take down both of them." Li Xiuran glanced at the two of them and said lightly.

"yes."

The other officers and soldiers took the order in unison and rushed forward to tie the two together.

Just as Li Xiuran was about to speak, he heard a sound of horse hooves coming from behind him. When he turned around and saw Xiang Kun, with a large number of demon-suppressing guards, was rushing towards the city gate.

Li Xiuran's face was happy: "Master Xiang, why are you here?"

"Just just received an oral order from His Majesty, ordering me to lead someone to assist you in handling the case. If you didn't find you in the department, I guess you must have come out to investigate the case. I just went to Master Lin's mansion to ask about the situation. Master Lin said you might be at the city gate, so I rushed here."

Xiang Kun stopped, looked at Li Xiuran and explained, then glanced at Zheng Xingyong who was trampled on the ground by Yang Wenxin, and Luo Yu and Ma Ming'an who were tied up by the officers and soldiers:

"It seems you have gained something, do you need my help?"

Li Xiuran smiled and said, "I found some clues. The lord is coming. I am about to order someone to go to the Sili for help. Since the lord is here, please send someone to take these three people back to the Sili first, and be sure to take strict supervision."

Zheng Xingyong is likely to be the murderer behind him. Now that he is being arrested, in order not to disclose the news, the murderer is likely to kill people to silence him. Ordinary prisons are used to detain ordinary prisoners, and their defense is not high.

To be safe, it is safest to put them in the Demon Suppression Prison.

Xiang Kun waved his hand: "Take these three people back to the Sili and take strict supervision."

"yes."

A master guard bowed his order and led his subordinate guards to arrest the three of them, then turned around and left.

Chi Qingwan looked at Li Xiuran and said in confusion: "Will we go back together to examine them?"

Li Xiuran shook his head: "Don't worry, the murderer buried the formation base at the city gate. He must have wanted to set up the formation, and to set up the formation, there must be more than this formation base.

There may be some nearby city gates, or there may be several other city gates, let’s look for them first.”

Chi Qingwan suddenly realized and frowned again, "The formation base is buried underground. It's not easy to find it. How did you find the abnormality just now?"

Yang Wenxin and Lin Fengkai also looked at him, and were also curious about how he could see that there was something wrong under the stone slab. They were all present, but they didn't see it at all.

"It is precisely because it is buried underground that traces are left..." Li Xiuran told the three of them about the process of discovering that the edge of the stone slab was damaged, and then guessing that there might be problems under the stone slab.

Lin Fengkai looked admiring when he heard this: "Brother Li is really observing, you can see that this is strange."

"In this way, we can also use this as a clue to find the array base." Chi Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief and tried: "Since there is a way, then hurry up and start."

Li Xiuran nodded, sent the officers and soldiers away to continue guarding the city gate, and then began to search with Yang Wenxin, Chi Qingwan, and Lin Fengkai.

Xiang Kun also understood the reason and led his subordinates to join in.

After searching for a while, I found that several stone slabs had been pried, but this time Li Xiuran did not ask someone to pry open the stone slabs and excavate the base of the array.

The murderer must have set up a formation as a trump card to fight against the Demon Suppression Division, but now that he has discovered it, he may also use this to surprise the murderer.

If it is just dug out, it can indeed defeat the murderer's conspiracy and disrupt his arrangements, but it will also alert the enemy, increase his vigilance, and even place the formations in another place, which will be even more dangerous.

It’s better not to move for the time being and wait until the critical moment to take action, and maybe you will get more rewards.

After recording the location of the burial base, Li Xiuran led his men to the next city gate without stopping.

I searched all the gates of the capital in turn, and finally searched carefully outside the city. Sure enough, I found many suspicious places, with a total of as many as 96.

Chi Qingwan's face became more and more serious: "It only takes a dozen array bases to find a formation, and it is only a few dozen of them larger. Now there are nearly a hundred array bases found at the city gate alone, and there may be more that have not been discovered in other places.
