Seeing Shining die in Zhou You's hands, Xiaofeng became increasingly frightened. She immediately stepped back in a hurry and shouted: "Go, retreat! Quick!"

"Okay, don't chase the poor enemy!" He shouted to the internal guards who were about to chase and kill him. Seeing Xiaofeng leading the remaining frightened snake spirit killers back in a hurry, he was not prepared to kill them all.

He then turned around and said, "Let's go back to Hanguang Temple!"

However, when they returned to Hanguang Temple, the place had become a dead place, and they saw the corpses of monks everywhere. Zhou You's expression changed, and when they hurried to the dungeon of Hanguang Temple, it turned out that it was already empty.

There was no one left, Yuan Tiangang disappeared.

In the empty dungeon, there was only a lake silk handkerchief embroidered with a snake that fell on the ground, which made Zhou You look a little ugly: "Hu Jinghui?"

"What? You said that the man imprisoned in Hanguang Temple was rescued by Snake Spirit's people?" In Luoyang, in Shangyang Palace, after hearing the report from Zhou Yu, Wu Zetian suddenly looked ugly and became frightened and angry.

Zhou You continued: "Your Majesty, I have speculated before that the previous thieves' assassination of Jia was very fishy. Now it seems that their goal was not to assassinate Jia, but for the person imprisoned in Hanguang Temple.

Although I was suspicious, I deliberately fired a false shot, leading out and killing Huan Bin, the spy of Snake Spirit, and killed one of the assassins who participated in the assassination yesterday, the top killer Shan who was the leader of the six snake heads of Snake Spirit.

However, I didn’t expect that the snake spirit actually had a backup plan. When I returned to Hanguang Temple, another group of their troops had already entered Hanguang Temple and rescued the person."

"Huan Bin, this traitor deserves to die!" Wu Zetian yelled angrily, looking at Zhou You below, but still slightly suppressed her anger: "Zhou You, you are cautious in doing things, it is not wrong, you are just a snake spirit person.

Too cunning. Being able to kill that snake spirit assassin is already a great achievement. This time, I will not care about your dereliction of duty."

"Hmph! It seems that even Huaiying made a mistake this time. He thought that the killer named Shining Ling didn't want to kill me, but rescued me. These traitors are really cunning," said Wu Zetian

There is still some lingering anger.

Zhou You was still furious and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, I have been investigating in Liuzhou for a long time, and I have basically determined that the main altar of the snake spirit is in Dayang Mountain in Liuzhou. If I hadn't obtained the snake spirit at the same time,

With the news that the killer wants to assassinate Hanguang Temple, we have already prepared to request an order to mobilize the army to encircle and suppress him. Now, without further delay, I would like to request your majesty to issue an order to quickly go to Liuzhou to exterminate the snake spirit, and make meritorious deeds!"

"Oh?" Wu Zetian was immediately shocked when he heard this, and then continued: "Okay! I will issue an order to give you the right to dispatch troops and horses in Liuzhou, and order the Liuzhou governor to cooperate fully. This time, you must be annihilated by me.

Snake spirit!”

Following the order, he left the tour of Shangyang Palace with murderous intent, went directly to Di Mansion to meet with Di Renjie, and explained the situation. Then he specially asked Ruyan and Li Yuanfang to accompany him, and left Luoyang with some capable internal guards.

Carrying the imperial edict, he went straight to Liuzhou.

When they arrived in Liuzhou, they first asked Li Yuanfang and Ruyan to meet Xiaomei at Qingyang Inn, while he took his entourage of internal guards directly to see the Liuzhou governor.

After reading the imperial edict brought by Zhou You, the governor Wen Kai of the Liuzhou Prefecture immediately ordered Liuzhou's troops to be assembled and on standby, waiting for Li Yuanfang and Ruyan to arrive with Xiaomei's living map.

Although Xiaomei is still in the Qingyang Inn and is now willing to help lead the way, Zhou You is a little surprised, but Zhou You, who knows the organs of the Snake Spirit General Altar very well, is not afraid of what tricks she will use.

Therefore, in the afternoon of that day, the army marched directly into Dayang Mountain. Under Xiaomei's guidance, they quickly removed the snake lair strongholds outside the Snake Spirit General Altar to prevent the people in the Snake Spirit General Altar from getting the news in advance and holding them.

These strongholds prevent the Snake Spirit people from escaping.

Let the elite internal guards under his command work in groups of two and lead small groups of soldiers to the snake dens in Dayang Mountain. They will lead the army together with Li Yuanfang, Ru Yan, Xiao Mei, and the governor Wen Kai.

The main force went straight to Tuo Luo Di, where the Snake Spirit General Altar is located.

Tuoluodi is a town in the mountains, but when Zhou You and the others arrived here with their troops, the whole town was silent and deserted.

"Such a run-down town doesn't look like it's inhabited. Is it really the headquarters of some kind of snake spirit?" General Zhou, who was leading the army, couldn't help but ask.

After entering the town, Zhou Youze said with a quick glance: "There are still confiscated trading stalls in the town. The whole town is clean and tidy, without any signs of dilapidation. This means that Snake Spirit's people all evacuated before we arrived."

Gone underground."

"Underground?" Wen Kai subconsciously looked at the ground in surprise, while Zhou You repeatedly reminded: "General Zhou, please pass on the order and don't enter any house in the town. There are agency news everywhere here, and it can be said that there is a crisis everywhere.

Just set fire to it and burn this place down."

"What? Burned?" Li Yuanfang and the others' expressions changed slightly when they heard this, and they turned to look at Zhou You in shock. Even Xiaomei couldn't help but change her expressions slightly.

Wen Kai couldn't help but said: "Master Zhou, we are members of the government. Setting fire to a town like this seems... seems a little inappropriate, right?"

"There's no one around. If you burn it, burn it. If you don't burn it, how can you destroy the information in the house and find the entrance to the Snake Spirit General Altar?" Zhou You asked indifferently.

Xiaomei on the side saw Wen Kai's speechless look, and finally couldn't help but said: "Master Zhou, let me try! I still know something about the snake spirit's mechanism, maybe I can find the snake

The entrance to the Lingzong Altar."

"Oh? Miss Xiaomei, I'll excuse you," Zhou You raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiaomei with a smile, then nodded slightly and said meaningfully.

Seeing Xiaomei lightly nodding and walking towards the house on the side, Ruyan couldn't help but follow her: "Xiaomei, I'll go with you!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Let me go over and have a look too!" Li Yuanfang was also a little worried about the safety of the two girls' homes, so she couldn't help but followed them into the house.

"Master Zhou, are we waiting here?" On the street outside the house, the governor Wen Kai couldn't help but asked Zhou You.

Zhou You, on the other hand, calmly looked at Xiaomei, Li Yuanfang, and Ruyan who were checking inside the house: "Don't worry!"

While talking, Xiaomei suddenly let out a low cry, and found a small flippable wooden board under the dustpan hanging on the wall of the house. It seemed to be a message button for the mechanism in the house.

"Be careful!" Xiaomei warned Li Yuanfang and Ruyan before reaching out and twisting the message button.

Immediately afterwards, the floor on one side of the room was pulled open to both sides, and inside was an iron plate that could accommodate a dozen people. Then the iron plate shook slightly and started to fall.

He jumped directly onto the iron plate and greeted Li Yuanfang, Ruyan and Xiaomei. After they jumped up, he even ordered Wen Kai outside: "Master Wen, order the army to surround Tuo Luo Di.

Wait outside for now. After we find out the situation below, I will ask Ruyan to come up and tell you what to do next."

"Yes!" Wen Kai just responded outside, Zhou You and the others took the elevator-like iron platform and quickly dropped down, and soon arrived in a spacious cave underground.

"Who are they?" They had just landed. Amidst the shouts, the two men in purple who were responsible for guarding the place changed their expressions when they saw them and shouted: "No! Someone broke into the main altar without permission!"
