The officials of Zhangyu also did not know where Zhong Tian and Xiao Shang were hiding. No matter how hard Feng Army they were interrogated, they could not answer them. Until the early morning of the second day, when Feng Army had basically searched through the entire Zhangyu City from start to finish, but they did not find any gains, and simply could not find the whereabouts of Zhong Tian and Xiao Shang.
When the news reached Tang Yin, the latter immediately flew into a rage and ordered Xiao Muqing and Zi Ying to continue to search with all their might. If there were still no results when night fell, the two of them would not need to come back. Xiao Muqing and Zi Ying secretly grinned. On the battlefield, no matter what kind of difficulties or dangers they encounter, they would always be able to think of ways to overcome them.
Xiao Muqing did not blindly give the order to continue the search. Instead, he gave the entire army a temporary rest while he found Le Tian and asked for his opinion. Le Tian was much better at tracking and probing than him, Xiao Muqing was also well aware of this point. After hearing the purpose of Xiao Muqing's visit, Le Tian frowned. Although Tang Yin did not order him to look for Zhong Tian, Le Tian still sent most of the spies from the Sky Eye out to investigate and investigate Zhong Tian's whereabouts. However, like Xiao Muqing and Zi Ying, the results were the same, he did not find any clues.
He said faintly, "Zhang Yu city has around 50,000 to 60,000 residents, and hundreds of thousands of people. With so many residences, it's hard to tell how many secret tunnels and secret chambers there are to hide in. Besides, most of our soldiers have never seen Zhong Tian in person. If he puts on the clothes of a commoner, he might not even be able to recognize him." That's right! Le Tian's words made sense! After listening to Le Tian's analysis, Xiao Muqing secretly took a deep breath and asked, "Then …" "General Le, what do you think?" Le Tian thought for a moment and then said, "The city of Zhangyu must be under martial law. No matter if it is dark or day, the residents of the city are not allowed to go out, and then the area inside the city is divided into several sections. General Xiao will personally lead troops from house to house to search one by one, and after inspecting one piece, he will seal the entire area and ensure that Zhong Tian is outside of the range of inspection. In this way, Zhong Tian can finally be dug out." Xiao Min Qing nodded as he listened. After pondering for a moment, he said with a bitter smile, "Although General Le's idea is good, it also requires quite a bit of time. My lord has made me search for Zhong Tian before nightfall …" Le Tian sighed and said helplessly, "In the current situation, that's impossible." From my point of view, Zhong Tian either disguised himself as a commoner, or hid himself in an extremely secluded place. It would be very difficult for him to find Zhong Tian. " "Yes!" "En." Xiao Min Qing replied. After pondering for a while, she gave his deep thanks to Le Tian. Without further ado, she turned around and left. After saying goodbye to Le Tian, he found a tassel and told it about Le Tian's method. Zi Ying laughed at his words and praised his, "This is a good idea!" Xiao Muqing bitterly smiled and said, "It is good, but the search will also take a long time. We will definitely miss the time limit that our lord has given us." Zi smiled and said, "That's easy!" "We can divide the city into several parts according to General Le's method, and then send out a few troops to split up and investigate." "It's not right!" Xiao Muqing shook his head and said, "Most of our soldiers have never seen Zhong Tian. What if he changes into a commoner's appearance?" "Hehe!" Zi Ying smiled and said, "It is true that few of General Xiao's men have seen Zhong Tian, but my subordinates have seen him before, and not just once or twice. With them leading the troops and scouting around, there will definitely be no loopholes." Ah! How could he have forgotten about this? His tassel, along with the other deputy generals under him, as well as the regiment leaders, who were Zhong Tian's subordinates, were naturally very familiar with Zhong Tian. Even if he turned into ashes, he would still be able to recognize him! He laughed to his back and said, "Good!" "I will follow your opinion, General Ying Ying!" "At this time, Zi Ying waved his hand, asking everyone to bring the map of Zhang Yu over. He also took out a pen, and while discussing the matter with Xiao Muqing, he began to draw on the map, dividing the city into twelve sections, with he and Xiao Muqing searching for six pieces each. In addition, he also lent his deputy generals to Xiao Muqing and the other two, asking them to help search the Plains Army. In return, Xiao Muqing gave him twenty thousand gold to make up for the shortage of manpower in the Heavenly Eagle Army.
After the discussions had finished, the two of them sent out their Subordinate s and went into the city. They informed the citizens of Zhangyu and their Feng Army s had already started to reach their maximum capacity, no matter who it was, they were forbidden to leave the city, and anyone who violated the order would be killed without mercy. Hundreds of Feng Soldier s rode their horses into the city under the orders of the two of them, shuttling back and forth between the various main roads and secondary roads, constantly shouting out orders to the citizens of the city based on Feng City.
At this time, the sky had already brightened up. Under the shouts of the Feng Soldier, not long later, the figures of commoners could no longer be seen in the streets and alleys in the city. Be it the main road, or the secondary roads, or the alleys and alleys, all of them were empty.
Following that, Pingyuan Army and Heavenly Eagle Army began to enter the entire city area. On Xiao Muqing's side, he first ordered everyone to search through the three areas that they had gathered, and then separated the subordinates into three big teams. He himself and the two Regiment Chief s would be leading the teams, and the three deputy generals that had borrowed from Zi Ying had also been assigned to the three teams to search through them.
The area that Xiao Muqing wanted to search was not very large, but there were thousands of residents here, so it would not be easy for him to search through the entire area. He secretly sighed, and braced himself to bring Zi Ying's deputy general and his own Member, and began to search for Zhong Tian one by one, house by house.
The deputy general that he had brought along was called He Peng. Ever since he joined the army, he had been under Zi Ying's command, and could be considered to be Zi Ying's trusted aide. Xiao Muqing also asked He Peng as he searched his what Zhong Tian looked like. Forget about the warriors beneath the Pingyuan Army, even Xiao Muqing himself had never seen Zhong Tian before.
He Peng didn't know how to describe it, so he grinned and said," "Zhong Tian has a white face and a black beard. He doesn't look fat, but he isn't skinny either. He must be of medium height." When Xiao Muqing heard this, his brows were scrunched up. He described how there were so many of these people, but in reality, he hadn't even mentioned them. Zhong Tian's appearance was indeed unremarkable, not to say ugly, but also unsightly. He was just an ordinary looking person, if one were to say that he was different from ordinary people, it would be because of his noble temperament and the maintenance of living like a prince. However, this was hard to describe with words.
Seeing that Xiao Muqing was extremely dissatisfied with his answer, He Peng thought for a moment, then said: "Zhong Tian is very timid, even when he hasn't usurped his position, he would always come out in a crowd with countless guards by his side. I think …" With the current situation so critical, there was definitely a need for Zhong Tian to have personal bodyguards by his side. Even if they didn't bring too many people, they were definitely Spiritual Martial Expert's guards, for the sake of hiding their traces! " The person who said this didn't mean it, but the person who heard it had their own thoughts. Xiao Muqing silently listened to He Peng's words, and suddenly a thought flashed across Xiao Muqing's mind, and he thought that it was right! Zhong Tian was famous for his cowardice, under the situation where his side had seized all of the Zhangyu, he would definitely have guards by his side, and even guards with deep spiritual powers.
Thinking about that, Xiao Muqing immediately stopped, and called for Herald, ordering him to go to the other two teams, and for them to release the Arts of Clairvoyance when they were searching, and to check if there were any Spirit Cultivator s around. Following that, he also arranged his subordinates to use their Member to observe the surroundings.
Clear Vision was the most basic support skill for the Light, it did not consume much Spirit Qi, but if one wanted to release it continuously for a long time, it was not something that an ordinary Spirit Cultivator could handle.
Xiao Muqing and Zi Ying personally made a move and led their Pingyuan Army and Heavenly Eagle Army to search the entire place. They searched arduously for an entire morning but still did not find anything. In the afternoon, Tang Yin could no longer sit still in the camp. He entered the city to find Xiao Muqing and went with him to search for him.
Tang Yin's arrival did not bring Xiao Muqing any good luck. When it was almost evening, he still could not find Zhong Tian's whereabouts. At that moment, Xiao Muqing took out the map, and took a careful look. Back then, when he and Zi Ying had discussed the matter, he had split up and moved, and felt that one day was more or less enough to search the entire Zhangyu City, but in actuality, he knew that it was far from that simple.
The sky was getting darker, the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army s had already lit their torches one by one, and it was night time once again. Zhong Tian did not find any of them, but the soldiers below had already been unable to bear it, they had not slept for two days and one night, they were even running around during battles, and did not even have a good time to eat. They were already exhausted, and all of them looked listless, as if they could fall asleep if they were standing.
Now, Tang Yin could finally understand the difficulty that Xiao Muqing and Zi Ying were facing. It was not that the two of them were incompetent or did not give their all, but it was just that it was too difficult to find a few people in the entire city. He turned his head to look at Xiao Muqing. The latter had a face full of weariness, if one were to listen carefully, Xiao Muqing's stomach would still thump loudly from time to time.
Tang Yin casually asked: "Xiao Muqing, have you eaten lunch yet?" Xiao Muqing was startled at first, but then quickly replied: "Sir, I haven't." "Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head and walked out from the alleyway. Standing on the main road, he looked around, and seeing a small restaurant not far away, he waved to Xiao Muqing who was behind him and said: "Coincidentally, I also did not eat. Bring all the generals along, we will go eat something together. Yes! "My lord!" After Xiao Muqing finished listening, he heaved a sigh of relief and quickly ordered his soldiers to stay there and rest. In addition, he also ordered his men to return back to the camp and gather people to bring all the prepared food back to the city so that the soldiers could fill their stomachs. People were made of iron, while food was made of steel. No matter how difficult the task was, eating until one was full was essential. Otherwise, the soldiers wouldn't have the strength to work.
When he was near, Xiao Muqing raised his eyes and looked. His heart was slightly cold, and because the Feng Army had already given the order for Feng City, the citizens of the city were not allowed to leave their houses, and the small restaurant had not opened either. The doors and windows were all tightly shut.
"My lord, I think we should go back to camp and eat!" Xiao Muqing said with a wry smile.
