Chapter 153: The Seventh Man Who Doesn't Die
The Xiangguo Mansion at night has lost the hustle and bustle of the day, and the lights in each room and courtyard have started the nightlife, but Xiangguo Zuo Chengming, who is the head of the family, can not be as dark as those gentlemen in the family, and now the situation in the court, taking a wrong step is also a catastrophe, and he does not dare to be careless at all.

The fourth prince Ji Huai tracked down the old case eight years ago, he had already received the news, and he also exerted pressure from all sides, but he still let the fourth prince grasp the clues, especially this time it is possible to pull the Taishi Demon Yunhai in.
Zuo Chengming can no longer let things develop so freely, he must personally intervene, at the latest in the next few days, the fourth prince Ji Huai may be about to make a move, and then there will be another fight, the most unfavorable thing is that he has received a secret report, the fourth prince Ji Huai seems to have news of Xiao Qilin, if he is really called back to testify, it will not be good.
Xiangguo's Mansion is very large, so big that everyone doesn't know that there is such a courtyard, which is almost dark everywhere, and there are no servants under the people, nor are there lanterns to hang colors.
There were only a few lampstands lit in the room, Zuo Chengming sat in the middle of the room, and there was a person sitting on the bench opposite, he was dressed in tatters, his whole head was wrapped with a discolored linen belt, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and his eyelids were festering and shriveled. The whole body is half hidden in the darkness, half flickering in the candlelight.
There were also four figures standing behind the man, and because of the dim light in the room, it was impossible to see what these four people looked like.
The strange man sitting on the chair suddenly laughed, because his mouth was also wrapped in a linen tape, so his voice was muffled, and he said to Zuo Chengming: "You came to me like this, it seems that it is really serious for you." ”
Zuo Chengming said: "As long as you help me kill their witnesses, you don't have to worry about other things." ”
The strange man snorted and laughed, "yes, so what are you willing to pay for it?"
Zuo Chengming frowned and said, "Didn't we negotiate the price of the murder before, what do you mean by this, seventh person?"
If Lin Yue or other people from the public gate were here, they would definitely be very surprised, because the person in front of him was one of the top ten heavenly criminals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the seventh person known as 'immortal'.
Thunderbolt Shadow, the undead mad god. The sky is pleasant, and the sky is absolutely dusty. The sword in white, Ziyan is lonely.
The top ten criminals are not simple, and the person in front of them is one of them.
No one knows where he came from, no one knows his name, he just calls himself the seventh man in front of people, and the rivers and lakes call him the immortal seventh man.
The seventh person leaned forward: "I said Lord Xiangguo, it is risky to do this, you must know that the sea of magic clouds has returned to Beijing." ”
Zuo Chengming couldn't help but groan, the sea of demon clouds is a sharp sword hanging over his head, if he was in the capital back then, these guys would not dare to play such a trick anyway, but it is a pity that he has been on the side all year round, but this does not hinder his influence.
Now that the war in Northern Xinjiang has ended, the demon clan has been hit hard, and the Demon Cloud Sea has also returned to the capital, and it has nothing to do with the fight for the position of the crown prince.
Zuo Chengming asked, "How much are you going to want?"
The seventh man said lazily, "At least triple it." ”
Zuo Chengming sneered: "Seventh person, don't forget, who gave you lost dogs a place to live, don't go too far." ”
The seventh man leaned behind him: "We are not some lost dogs, we are wolves...... Immature wolf ......"
Zuo Chengming got up: "Don't take yourself too seriously, without you, I still have a way." ”
The seventh person said again: "If there is a way, you will still find us? ”
The seventh person's words are good, once the four princes make trouble in the past two days, coupled with the intervention of the Demon Cloud Sea, the court will definitely file a case, and at that time, Zuo Chengming will not be able to do it openly.
On the other hand, Zuo Chengming certainly has some good hands in the rivers and lakes, but his cultivation is also very limited, after all, how many real masters will defect to him. If you send these subordinates, the odds of victory are not great, Xiao Qilin's own strength is not weak, and the guards sent by the four princes must also be very strong, this kind of assassination is not something that ordinary assassins can accomplish.
The seventh person said again: "You know, this time my sect is tantamount to completely offending the Demon Cloud Sea, although my cultivation is not lost to him, but it is also troublesome to fight. ”
Zuo Chengming gritted his teeth: "Okay, three times is three times, the old rule will give half first, and the rest will be given to you after the work is done." Be careful, don't mess me up. ”
The seventh man said: "You can rest assured about this, I have received so many benefits from you, how can I not care." ”
Zuo Chengming said: "It's best if you understand. Then he left.
Behind the seventh man stood four people, who were his four apprentices, in order: Huyanga, Nafuluo, Lu Jie, and Zhunan.
The eldest disciple Huyanjia was a loyal young man, but his flexible eyeballs betrayed his essence, and he said: "Master, listen to this meaning, this time it may involve the Taishi Demon Cloud Sea, then we ......"
The seventh said, "Of course, if it weren't for that, how could he have come to us?" ”
The four masters and apprentices of the seventh person can be described as notorious, because they use ordinary monks as a furnace to cultivate, and it is even more common for them to plunder and kill innocents indiscriminately, many righteous people want to encircle and kill them, and the seventh person and his gang have fought with several masters of the five major sects one after another, although he has cultivated to be strong, but he can't stand the repeated attacks of the righteous path, originally there were nine disciples under the seventh person's door, and now only four people are left who have been killed.
In the capital, Xiangguo Zuo Chengming gave them a place to live, and they also helped Zuo Chengming to do something that was not easy to do.
Zuo Chengming also knew that the seventh group was an extraordinary means, and he didn't want to use it unless it was necessary.
As the seventh person said before, this time it involves the Taishi Demon Cloud Sea, what kind of existence is Butterfly Valley, they all know that the joint siege of the five major sects has made them almost desperate, if they provoke Butterfly Valley again, not to mention anything else, the twelve second-generation disciples of Butterfly Valley only need to come to two, and they will die.
The seventh man said: "You don't have to think about it anymore, anyway, the matter has already been taken over, no matter how strong he is in the sea of demon clouds, he can't go out to find that witness in person." At most, send some small characters to deal with it. ”
Huyanka responded, "Yes, Master." ”
……
Early in the morning of the second day, Ji Huai, the fourth prince of the court, really made a mistake and reported the collected things to the king.
The king was also a little stunned, he really didn't have much impression of the case eight years ago, and suddenly there were charges of corruption and false accusations.
So the court began to quarrel clearly, and in the end, it was Mo Yunhai who spoke, asking the witness Xiao Qilin, the former captain of Jixiang, to return to Beijing to pass the hall.
The king immediately passed down the decree to temporarily revoke the sea capture warrant for Xiao Qilin, the former captain of Jixiang, and the fourth prince Ji Huai has found out that Xiao Qilin is currently in Yuanzhou, so he will be brought back by the Shen Criminal Division for disposal.
How to decide the affairs of the court, others have no way of knowing, but at this time, Lin Yue has already ridden a fast horse and rushed to Yuanzhou, the fourth prince Ji Huai said that the other party will definitely kill people, but I am afraid that there will be a battle here. Therefore, the requirements for Lin Yue were put forward with two words: 'fast' and 'steady' to come back as soon as possible to ensure his safety.
Lin Yue has also been idle in the capital for more than half a year, and he is currently the only master in the camp of the fourth prince Ji Huai who can be invited in the capital, so the fourth prince has high hopes for him.
This trip to Yuanzhou, Lin Yue was not too worried, he had seen a lot of those powerful people in the capital for so long, if he had first come out of the rivers and lakes four years ago, he might have been scruples, but after three years of cultivation in Butterfly Valley, with his own cultivation today, these people are really not enough.
And he doesn't know what kind of opponent he will meet this time.
In order to arrive early, Lin Yue put down the fast horse when he arrived at the next post station, and flew on his own flying sword, but he had to fall down after flying for a while, after all, he didn't know when the battle would happen, and he had to maintain a certain amount of strength, and he couldn't fly desperately for three days and three nights like he whispered to save his senior sister, and he was so tired that he almost collapsed, and he dragged a lot of speed when he stopped and stopped like this.
In the dense forest on the other side, the seventh person and the five masters and apprentices shuttled through the forest, and as soon as they got the news that Xiao Qilin was in Yuanzhou, they immediately set off. Although it is not as fast as Lin Yue's imperial sword, there is no need to stop all the time.
For a while, it was impossible to tell who was fast and who was slow, and both sides were running towards the same goal, Yuanzhou Mansion.
