208. Confrontation

The entire northern base is still a busy scene.

In the evening, the moonlight shrouded the earth, and Gu Li stepped on the moon wrapped in a gray robe.

Although he couldn't see his expression, he could feel the thick exhaustion mixed in his body, and the abnormality of the blood demon's state made him exhausted, and in just a few days, Gu Li never found the reason behind it.

However, he has already secured his initial suspicions.

"Lord Gu Li. ”

The guard at the door saw Gu Li and bowed to say hello.

Gu Li nodded, and then quickly crossed the corridor and returned to the depths of the green area.

He took out the golden pass and brushed open the stone door.

Boom, the stone door slowly opened to both sides.

It is a rather extravagant stone house, with a palatial and graceful atmosphere, which contrasts with the gloomy base. The stone house was full of jewels, jade, spiritual weapons, magic weapons and other treasures that Gu Li had scavenged, which one of them was not blooming with dazzling light. The most eye-catching thing is the glazed headlamp in the center of the stone house, which grains down from the roof like a bunch of grapes, and there is a thumb-sized ruby hanging from the tail, shining under the reflection of the candle flame.

Curtains embroidered with gold and silver threads hung down in the stone chambers, and the soft skins of some unknown beasts were made into noble carpets and spread on the ground. If it weren't for the gloomy wind passing through the hall and still carrying the eerie and bloody smell of the northern base, others would still think that they had run to the mansion of an official by mistake.

Sitting on a stone bench draped in a luxurious leopard-print blanket, Gu Li's tight strings slowly relaxed.

Over the years, he has found an assistant who can replace Weng Peng to continue working in the red zone, although the experience is not as rich as Weng Peng's, and the process is not as familiar, but at least temporarily alleviate the problem of lack of manpower. And what is even more reassuring is that he also found a replacement for the blue area under Xia Gui's jurisdiction.

This kid may not know that Quinoa, the little assistant who has been assisting him with all kinds of things these days, is about to take his place.

Because, he will die here tonight, and Gu Li has also found a good reason for his death.

Knock knock.

There was three knocks on the stone door, and the appointed time had come.

I only heard the quinoa outside the door shouting: "Master Gu Li, is the little one going to call him now?"

Gu Li's eyes shrouded in shadows flashed a strange look, and he lowered his voice, "Go ahead." ”

"Yes. Quinoa said.

Gu Li stopped him again: "After he comes, he will block the green area, and no one will be allowed to come in without my order." ”

"Yes, Lord Guli. Quinoa hurriedly agreed.

There was some unbearability on the little man's face.

Blocking the green area, it seems that Gu Li does not intend to leave Xia Gui with a trace of survival.

Although Quinoa is not a good person, I still feel a little unbearable when I think of the approachable people who have returned to Xia these days. In the northern base, he has followed three superiors, only Xia Gui is a superior who will not take advantage of his subordinates at all, nor will he use others to survive.

All in all, Xia Gui is a good person.

It's a pity that this good guy is going to die.

......

Gu Li sat on a stone bench and tasted wine carefully.

In the luxurious stone house, the house is full of fragrance.

This wine is a hundred years old, if Weng Peng is still here, I am afraid that the greedy Harazi will flow all over the place.

It's a pity that Weng Peng is dead.

The only person in this base who loves wine the most, and who can talk to him the most, is gone.

Now that he is tasting this fine wine, and carefully scrutinizing the many details before, Gu Li's expression in the shadows is not good-looking.

Waldin's sudden surrender, Xia Gui's joining, and Weng Peng's multiple mistakes, Xia Gui intervened in the research of the Dragon Scale Laboratory...... The intervention of this ring seems to be some hidden plan.

Now that things are going to get to this point, it seems logical that in fact it can almost be described as getting out of hand.

"Little bastard......" Gu Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

Unexpectedly, the person in charge of the northern base was toyed with by this stinky boy.

There's nothing to be ashamed of, though.

Wasn't the entire villa deceived by him? Even the talented man like a ghost marquis could hardly find Xia Gui's feet.

This kid is hiding deeply.

However, the mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind.

Tonight, he will thoroughly absorb and refine this kid's full body essence to help him break through to the middle stage of the Murmuring Realm.

Click, click.

There was a lonely and steady footstep sound from the corridor outside the door, and the person Gu Li was waiting for came.

A different kind of excitement and tension spread around him, and thinking of this, Gu Li actually felt a little nervous.

After these few days of preparation, his parasitic devouring horn has been refined to the seventh layer, which can absorb the flesh and blood essence materials of the same kind to more than eighty percent. If he is an old hunter who waits for the rabbit, this kid is the prey of his own net.

"Lord Gu Li, have you summoned me?" Xia Gui's voice came from outside the door.

"Yes, little genius, please come in. Gu Li responded enthusiastically.

The stone door slowly opened, and a luxurious living room appeared in front of Xia Gui's eyes, and at the same time, Gu Li's face was imprinted into his eyelids.

I haven't seen him for many days, but this little old man is still the same familiar outfit. His thick fingers rubbed against the skeletal cane, and the low brim of his hat covered his face, and two rays of light burst out from under the brim.

"Hello, sir. Xia Gui bowed.

"Please come in. Gu Li smiled and beckoned Xia Gui to sit down.

"Yes, sir. Xia Gui smiled humbly and slowly walked into this secret room, which was almost a forbidden place.

Although the expression on his face was smiling, Xia Gui was very vigilant and looked around the surrounding environment, carefully screening whether there was any killing or dead. Fortunately, this is a luxurious stone house, and I haven't seen anything suspicious for the time being.

Gu Li guided Xia Gui to sit at the stone table, just like the host entertained a friend, took out two wine glasses, and filled them with wine unhurriedly. Gu Li handed Xia Gui one of the glasses, and said with a smile: "This is Weng Peng's favorite wine before his death, can you taste it?"

Xia Gui gently touched the rim of the cup to his lips and symbolically dipped a little.

"Are you wary of me?" Gu Li laughed.

"The lower officials don't dare. Xia Gui hurriedly said.

Gu Li raised his wine glass and drank it all.

Xia Gui didn't say anything, he followed Gu Li's example and drank all the wine in the wine glass.

If Gu Li wants to kill a cultivator in the Yongquan Realm, there are ten thousand ways, and he will not use poisonous wine so simply. Therefore, before Gu Li showed his minions, Xia Gui didn't want to expose himself easily, and he also used a false and aggrieved attitude to test Gu Li's mind and see how the other party planned to play his cards.

The smell of spicy wine rushed to his throat, and he couldn't help coughing, the taste of this wine was really bad.

Gu Li smiled with satisfaction, put down the wine glass and said in a sad tone: "How many days has Weng Peng been dead?"

Xia Gui replied in a steady tone as much as possible: "It's been fifteen days. ”

"The stone house has been running as usual for the past few days, thank you for your hard work. Gu Li smiled.

Xia Gui said: "This is what the small one should do." ”

Gu Li took a sip of wine, put down the wine glass and said, "I happened to be absent that day, and I also heard about you." Weng Peng attempted to misdeceive the Thirteenth Lady and was killed by you with one palm. ”

Xia Gui's throat moved, and sure enough, it was to the point.

However, he also came prepared.

I saw Xia Gui show a sad expression and said: "I was too angry at that time, and I saw that the Thirteenth Lady was in a pitiful situation, so I didn't control it for a while and killed Weng Peng. Please also ask your lord to condemn the sin. ”

"Is it? Is he really plotting against the Thirteenth Lady?" Gu Li smiled.

"Yes. Xia Gui nodded.

Gu Li lowered his voice, and from under his lowered hat, a pair of vulture-like eyes looked directly at Xia Gui. I only heard him say in a deep voice: "But as far as I know, it is impossible for Weng Peng to do such beastly behavior, because he has a problem in that regard." ”

For this question, Xia Gui has already prepared a speech: "Lord Gu Li, I don't know what Weng Peng's ability is. That day, the little one did see it with his own eyes, he tore the thirteenth lady's clothes like crazy, if there was really something wrong with him, was it because he drank some kind of wine, or took the wrong medicine, which caused him to enter a state of madness that day? ”

Faced with Xia Gui's flawless answer, Gu Li was obviously stunned.

He thought that this question would make Xia Gui speechless, and if he put forward the evidence that Weng Peng did not adduce, this kid would be completely confused. Unexpectedly, this kid seemed to have been prepared, and replied unhurriedly.

Gu Li reached out and rubbed his head, "Hey...... His body has been torn apart by wild dogs in the mass grave, what can I check!"

Gu Li's words changed, and he said bitterly: "I know that the relationship between you and Weng Peng has never been good, and Weng Peng also reported this matter to me before his death. I just thought you two kids were having trouble because of the competition at work, but I didn't expect you to kill him......"

"The old man knows that you are not an ordinary person, a small slave can cultivate the golden vein, and can achieve the unity of the nine springs, and can also come out alive from the murderous Shura field, you will not be a simple person. Weng Peng is just an honest apprentice, he is by no means your opponent. ”

Weng Peng was honest, Xia Gui sneered in his heart, you must know that he still wanted to join the thirteenth aunt to kill himself before.

Of course, there was no need to tell Gu Li, because Xia Gui could already be sure that this little old man didn't trust himself at all.

Seeing that Xia Gui was unmoved, Gu Li further said: "I was not there on the day of the accident, there were only you, Weng Peng, Aunt Thirteen, and the Ghost Marquis at the scene. Now one of the three has been turned into a corpse. Only you know what happened. Gu Li's voice softened a little, "Turtle, I don't know why you're lying, and I don't know what the truth of the matter is. But if you tell the truth, I won't hold you accountable. You know, you've been here for more than a month, and you've helped me a lot, and you've made a lot of contributions. ”

Facing Gu Li's tentative tone, Xia Gui's expression remained calm, "Lord Gu Li, I have completely stated what I know and what I have done. I killed Weng Peng, and I don't know why he went crazy that day. ”
