Chapter 466 The Blame
Jiang Li spent half a day looking through the files about Taoism in the Taoist Records Office and finally had a preliminary understanding of Taoism in Da Chu.
According to Chihu, those Taoists did not believe that they were regular troops, which was why the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple and they were fighting against each other.
Since Taoism is also under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, it will be easy to deal with.
"Master Zhou, Master Xiao, why don't you issue two notices to the Taoist sect?"
"First, when a Taoist priest hangs up a sign, the Taoist temple must report it to the local government. The name, sect, where he came from, generation, master's name, etc. must be registered one by one."
If Nangong Xi and his pseudonym are involved in any sect, we can find out with a simple search.
"Second..."
Jiang Li took out the emperor's secret decree and gave it to Zhou Zhitu and Xiao Yuan.
The two of them passed it around.
"The Dingguo Army has a new secret unit. The emperor has named it the 'Tianji Camp'. It is led by me and is directly responsible to the emperor."
"Please pass on His Majesty's order to all the sects to avoid accidental harm to friendly forces."
After reading the secret decree, Zhou Zhitu and Xiao Yuan were shocked.
Prince Jing'an secretly formed a special team for His Majesty that included "land, sea and air"!
What is incredible is that this is an army composed entirely of birds and beasts!
There are even seabirds and sea beasts!
Seeing the two people dumbfounded, Jiang Li smiled and said, "What's so surprising about this?"
"In the past, the Southern Expedition Army had General Eagle, General Wolf, and General Monkey. The Fujian Navy also had the Seabird Scout Team. Now we are just integrating these teams together to form the Tianji Camp."
The two of them thought the same and couldn't help but praise: "Your Highness's ability to tame beasts is rare in the world. No wonder he has achieved many great feats and become the right-hand man of the emperor."
Jiang Li smiled without saying anything. She naturally would not tell them that the Tianji Camp had also absorbed a lot of powerful mountain spirits and monsters, and even the legendary mermaids!
Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "Indeed, we should know about the Taoist sect. The beasts tamed by the prince are very human. If they are caught by the Taoist priests as monsters, it will be bad."
"Thank you for your help, Master Xiao."
"No, no, I will do it right away."
In order to ensure that people in the Taoist sect receive the official documents as soon as possible, Jiang Li also sent Ji Feng and Zhu Feng to help the Taoist Records Division deliver the official documents to local government offices.
When local officials heard that this was a matter supervised by Prince Jing'an, they did not dare to neglect it and immediately sent the documents to the Taoist temples.
The Quanzhen Sect, Maoshan Sect, Qingcheng Sect, and Lushan Sect naturally also received it.
Qiu Mingzi was racking his brains to turn the tables after suffering a crushing defeat at the Shiwandashan Camp. At this moment, he was writing furiously, angrily denouncing the "evil woman in power" and the fact that Prince Jing'an was in cahoots with the evil woman.
"If she is not of my kind, her heart must be different. The witch is associated with the devils and her words confuse the people. How do we know that she is not a demon? I beg Your Majesty to think twice and not be deceived by the witch..."
He wrote a long article in an elegant and eloquent manner, and was feeling quite proud of himself when his disciple brought him an official document from the Daoluo Division.
Qiu Mingzi opened it and took a closer look, and his face turned red and white.
It turns out that what the fox demon said was actually true!
The group of mountain goblins and wild monsters in the Shiwanda Mountains are truly the Tianji Camp under the Dingguo Army, commanded by Prince Jing’an, who is directly responsible to the emperor!
They are a legitimate regular army!
The fox demon claimed that he was an official appointed by the imperial court and a captain of the sixth rank, which was most likely true.
They went out to catch the monster with great fanfare, but unexpectedly caught a government soldier!
As the leader of the Taoist Alliance, he had just invited fellow Taoists from all over the world to go to the Shiwan Mountains to exorcise demons and monsters, when the imperial court announced that they were our officers and soldiers, the regular army!
It's simply a slap in the face of him, the leader of the alliance!
I don’t even know how the Taoists in the world will laugh at him!
Qiu Mingzi was so angry that his face turned purple and he tore the document in his hand into pieces.
At this time, the red fox sent another urgent report to Jiang Li.
"Little fairy, many of those Taoists died in the Shiwan Mountains last time!"
Chihu arranged his men to patrol in shifts and strengthen vigilance, and as a result, they found corpses one after another, more than thirty in total!
They were all Taoists who came to catch monsters that day, and they were from various sects.
Jiang Li's expression was stern: "Did your men do it?"
"Absolutely not!" Red Fox quickly denied.
"Those Taoists died after their blood was sucked out of them. I don't have any monsters under my command that specialize in sucking human blood!"
"Did all the blood in the body get sucked out?" Jiang Li frowned.
The murderer is obvious.
Who else is there besides Nangong Xihe who is possessed by the soul-sucking bug?
Jiang Li's delicate eyebrows were twisted into a knot.
All these Taoists died in the Shiwanda Mountains. It is really hard to explain.
If we hand over these corpses and tell the Taoists openly that it was the "Southern Taoist Friend" you brought with you who sucked all our people's blood, will those Taoists admit it?
Not only will they not acknowledge it, on the contrary they will angrily accuse the monsters in the Ten Thousand Mountains of killing their disciples!
Not long after the Tianji Camp was established, more than 30 lives were lost, and all the dead were disciples from major sects. This is a big trouble!
Jiang Li was so angry that his teeth were itching. The soul-sucking insect was so vicious!
He sucked the blood of more than thirty Taoists to repair and strengthen his own soul, and then put the blame on her!
The key is that she has no evidence and cannot defend herself!
Jiang Li was very troubled and had to ask Chihu to find a secret place to store the corpses and wait for her order.
She informed Xie Changan of the situation through the heart-to-heart agreement.
Xie Changan was anxious: "Ask Brother Diao to pick me up, I'll rush back right away!"
How could he let the little raccoon girl face all this alone? She was pregnant!
Jiang Li shook his head: "No, you were ordered to go to war, how can you return to Beijing privately?"
Xie Changan was extremely anxious: "Can I watch you bear this infamy alone?"
During the last major reshuffle of the imperial court, I wonder how many old ministers who were forced to step down hated his little servant to the core?
Now that I have this great opportunity, I will definitely hold on to it and make a big fuss about it!
The Taoist priest went to catch monsters, but more than 30 people were killed by the soldiers. The key point is that these soldiers were all monsters. Isn't it true that "those who are not of my race must have different hearts"?
As the direct person in charge of the Tianji Camp, the Dragon and Tiger General Jiang Li, naturally cannot escape the blame. He might even be forced to die to atone for his sins, just like the last drought!
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Brother Changan, you have to believe me. I was able to successfully resolve the drought crisis last time, and this time will be no exception."
"Don't forget, we have Tian Dao as our strong backer!"
Xie Changan calmed himself down and thought, that’s right, the Mirror Spirit would not watch them fail in their mission.
If anything happened to his little cat slave, he would probably turn evil on the spot and do something destructive!
The Mirror Spirit would naturally not allow such a thing to happen.
"My little raccoon is extremely intelligent and smart. I am ashamed of myself." Xie Changan felt sad. "I believe you can do it. But, please discuss everything with me. Don't take on everything by yourself."
"I have a husband, so many friends, and many like-minded friends. Why should I shoulder everything by myself?" Jiang Li chuckled, "No need to tire myself to death."
Xie Changan smiled. Yes, when had his little cat ever suffered any loss?
She is the only one who gets to cheat others!
The Soul Eater wants her to take the blame, but it will only lead to an even more miserable death!
