Chapter 82: Coincidence
The square box that had arrived from the King of Sui was opened, and he lay quietly in the middle of the table, surrounded by three people, and carefully observed. Inside it is a dragon hovering on one side, and the seal carved by square white jade is below, and there is a four-character yang text of "Sui Wang Xinbao" on it. After Xu Heng's identification, this is really the seal of the Sui King's troop transfer.
"Why was the King of Sui brought here?"
The three of them looked at this royal seal, and they were all puzzled. Although it is said that the title of King of Sui now exists in name only, this royal seal is also a priceless treasure, and for King Sui, even if he loses his head, he can't lose it. Such an important thing was brought to this kind of ghost place by the King of Sui, what was his intention?
"Could it be ......" Su Su hesitated to say a possibility, "He actually wants to take Wang Xi to the ghost city of Xudu to do a deal?"
This whimsical conjecture caused all three of them to shake their heads at the same time. According to the current state of the title of King of Sui, in addition to its own materials, the symbolic meaning of Wang Xi is far greater than its actual value, which is very useful to the Sui King's family, and for ordinary people, it is the price at which a piece of jade is sold.
This premise has to be asked for by someone.
The private possession of this kind of feudal seal was discovered, which was directly accused of rebellion, and the nine clans were punished together.
"Let's put it aside and look at this. With a sigh, Xu Heng closed the lid of Wang Xi and opened another package that he hadn't had time to open before. The package is light and thin, and it is very likely that Zeng Yingrui, the king of Sui, asked his grandfather to bring it to the ghost city of Xudu, and it is estimated that it is not very important.
Although he was mentally prepared for this, the moment he opened it, he was really shocked.
"This ......" Seeing the contents of the package, Pu Feng didn't know what to say, so he had to turn his face and say, "This is what Sui Wangsun wants his grandfather to bring to the ghost city of Xudu?"
"I guess I want King Sui to take it to the ghost city of Fengdu and burn it. Although he guessed that the things inside would not be too important, Xu Heng never expected it to be this kind of thing.
Compared with the two men, Su Su was relatively calm, reached into the package and touched the contents of the package, and came to the conclusion of identification: "It is indeed a woman's personal object, but it looks like it has not been worn for a long time, and," Speaking of this, Su Su frowned, "and there are many traces of being touched and rubbed......"
The contents of the package are speechless.
However, Xu Heng suddenly remembered a piece of information he had read, so he said: "Three years ago, Zeng Yingrui's concubine was seriously ill and died......"
"Maybe he really thought that the ghost town of Xudu was connected to the underworld, so he wanted his grandfather to bring it over and burn it for her. Su Su guessed the thoughts of Sui Wangsun, sighed at the end, and reached out to put away the package of women's underwear that had been worn out by the ears and temples, but was clean and tidy.
Su Su sometimes has a natural pity for women, this is true for Shen Yexin in Shattered Cloud City, Song Qianqian in Leijiabao, the princess of Jianghu when she was still in Xijing, and Jiang Liqing in Wuhua Mountain.
Xu Heng naturally had no objection to Su Su's approach.
The matter of the king of Sui is just an episode, and more importantly, the ghost city of Xudu.
Time flies by in practice.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk"
On this day, without Xu Heng's summons, there was a knock on the door. A voice that was difficult to distinguish between men and women, and had no emotional fluctuations, appeared outside the door: "Distinguished guest, please see the ghost envoy if you have something!"
"Come in. ”
The black mask on the face of the black-clothed waiter, who was indistinguishable between men and women, and who did not express joy and sorrow, appeared in front of Xu Heng.
"Are you leaving?"
"Yes. Pack up and you're ready to go. The waiter bowed and exited the room.
Xu Heng sat in the room and muttered for a long time, notified the other two with the concentric cup, packed up his things and walked out of the room.
The high wall outside the building is still the same, only a few torches are lit by the wall, there are no stars and no moon in the sky, it is pitch black, it seems that it is night at this time. The breath in the air was fresh, which made Xu Heng, who hadn't seen the light of day for a long time, feel like the next day.
In fact, it can really be called the next day.
With the change in Xu Heng's heart, the waiter of the black-clothed building stopped at the door knowingly, and when the guests behind him came to their senses, the black-faced waiter started and turned to the right, but instead of walking towards the stable with many carriages parked on the side of the building.
Xu Heng stopped, frowned and asked, "Aren't you going to the ghost city of Xudu?"
"Yes, the guest is indeed going to the ghost town, but the landlord has something to invite to the banquet. ”
The waiter was still respectful to Xu Heng, and deliberately turned around to answer Xu Heng's question. The mask had no expression, and his tone did not fluctuate, which looked quite strange in the flickering of light and shadow outside the black building.
"Didn't the ghost landlord say three rules on the first day we came, one of which was that you were not allowed to contact anyone other than the ghost host? ”
"Yes, the landlord did say it, but ......"
An extremely calm voice spoke out and picked up Xu Heng's words: "But as a guest, you should strictly abide by those three rules from the beginning!"
With the voice, a man stepped out of the shadows of the Black Building, tall and wearing a hideous demon mask on his head.
The owner of the black-clothed building, with a ghost face.
Xu Heng turned to look at the black-clothed landlord, and was on guard: "I don't know what the black-clothed landlord has to do by intercepting the guests in the ghost city without permission?"
Since the black-clothed landlord did not point out Xu Heng's violation of the rules of the building, then Xu Heng naturally would not say anything, who knows if he was blowing himself up? Since he was not directly caught, then he couldn't blow himself up.
"It doesn't mean anything else. The black-clothed landlord didn't dwell on Xu Heng's violation of the previous matter, and glanced at the waiter behind Xu Heng.
The latter understood, put down the package in his hand, and quietly retreated.
After there was no one else around but them, Ghost Face looked at the man in black in front of him and said slowly: "This seat kept Your Excellency because I wanted to get something back from the guests. ”
Sui Wang Seal!
Xu Heng instantly thought of the treasure seal that should not appear here the most.
"Don't laugh at the landlord, how have you ever taken the landlord's things?"
With his right leg retreating and his body slightly sideways, Xu Heng's whole body was tense, ready to move at any time. The realm of the person in front of him is profound, and if you want to use strength, it is difficult for you to win.
For Xu Heng's vigilance, Ghost Face didn't care at all.
"No matter what secrets you have, as long as you hand over the seal and stop this matter in your mind, this work will treat it as if nothing had happened, and arrive at the ghost city of Xudu safely. If not, I don't mind picking it up in person. ”
We?!
As soon as Xu Heng was about to make a move, a force that seemed to be substantial had already reached the main points of the whole body, and at the same time, two sounds of breaking the air sounded, "bang, bang" two explosions, and the two people were forced out of the shadows of the black-clothed building at the same time.
After the ghost face saw the two people lurking behind him, he turned to look at Xu Heng, and his eyes under the mask were full of light: "This seat only used five successes. ”
Outside the body, the lowest is the peak master of the Triple Heaven Acquired Realm.
Xu Heng took a deep breath, took out the black box from the package neatly, and threw it to the black-clothed landlord: "I hope the landlord will be the talker." ”
Fighting against a top master for a seal that is useless to oneself has no chance of winning, not to mention, it is neither worth it nor reasonable. Anyway, it's useless to put it in your hand, so it's better to give it to the person who should have gotten it.
"This seat naturally counts when he speaks. Ghostface put away, turned and stepped into the darkness, "You will reach the ghost town safely." ”
There were only three people left outside the black building.
The black-clothed waiter from before quietly appeared behind Xu Heng, picked up the package, and waited quietly.
The three of them looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.
Pu Feng clenched the bladeless heavy sword: "He has left his hand, at least a figure at the level of an innate grandmaster." ”
"Well, no chance. Su Su agreed and looked at Xu Heng.
Xu Heng understood the meaning of the two partners, and he temporarily let go of this matter in his heart.
"Let's go," Xu Heng sighed, turned around, looked at the shadow under the black building, and loosened his fists that had been clenched since just now: "Don't worry about this beforehand, it's important!"
A moment later, a black carriage drove out of the compound outside the black building and into the darkness of the night.
