Chapter 142: The Mountains Are Disgusting
It was a bright and sunny day in spring, in a natural enchantment in the Beiban Festival and the mountains, Dugu Hanqiu and Qin Mulan were standing in the courtyard whispering, and behind them, a noble and elegant but somewhat playful and domineering girl slowly walked towards them, the two of them suddenly felt a sound of footsteps, and suddenly turned around, Bai Ningxi appeared in their sight with her hands behind her back and an inviolable look.
"Dugu Hanqiu has seen the young palace master. β
"Qin Mulan has seen the young palace master. β
The two of them saluted one after another, but Bai Ningxi just glanced at them lightly, and asked with a very indifferent tone in his eyes, "What are you two secretly muttering here?"
The two of them glanced at each other, and then Dugu Hanqiu stepped forward and said to Bai Ningxi, "Young Palace Master, that's the case, the disciples over there in Dongchen sent a message saying that the Palace Master had disappeared in Dongchen and had not seen the Palace Master for several days, so we were very worried. β
"Nonsense!" Bai Ningxi smiled disdainfully, "Who is Dad!
"We think so too, but the young palace master, the palace master is going to Dongchen mainly for the Hanyang City Order, and those disciples can't fabricate the palace master's disappearance out of thin air, we are thinking, the palace master is very likely to encounter some danger in Dongchen, so he disappeared, and his whereabouts are still unknown. β
When Bai Ningxi heard this, she suddenly fell into deep thought, "Could it be that the people of the Lu family locked up my father?"
"The palace master is strong, and the Lu family is all mediocre, with their ability, I'm afraid it's not enough to win the palace master. Qin Mulan also slowly stepped forward and said his guess, "The only possible thing is Youyangqu, we investigated before that Youyangqu has taken refuge in the Hanyang Lu family, presumably, the palace master's trip should have exposed his identity and won it for Youyangqu's people." β
"The people of Youyangqu still have such great ability?" Bai Ningxi suddenly raised his eyebrows and questioned, Qin Mulan smiled when he heard this, but did not speak, but Dugu Hanqiu smiled and said, "The young palace master doesn't know, this Youyangqu may not be taken to heart by others, but this Youyangqu Venerable Lord Fang Huan is originally a person from the demon world, and there is a master called 'Yinghualuo' under his seat, holding a white bone fan, making good use of hidden weapons, and the speed is extremely fast, the strength of these two people should not be underestimated." β
"Have you ever fought him?"
"Back to the young palace master, we have only heard of Youyang Song, and we have not seen it, let alone fight with it. As soon as Dugu Hanqiu said that, the corners of Bai Ningxi's mouth rose slightly, and Qin Mulan knew that she must have something in her heart, so she asked directly, "Young Palace Master, do you have any good ideas to find the whereabouts of the Palace Master?"
"Doesn't the young palace master want to start with Youyangqu?" Dugu Hanqiu saw through Bai Ningxi's mind at a glance, she was shocked, and then smiled, "Dugu Hanqiu, you really know my mind! That's right, I just want to go to Dongchen, my father said before that the Lu family in Hanyang City is secretly developing a human Gu, I want to see what this human Gu looks like!"
"Never!" Dugu Hanqiu's heart trembled when he heard what Bai Ningxi said, and he hurriedly spoke to stop it, "Young Palace Master, this Gu poison is very dangerous, it can devour people's flesh and blood, and it can control people's minds, and everyone in the world is afraid of it, Young Palace Master can't do anything that cannot be made up for because of a moment of curiosity!"
"Yes, young palace master, if the palace master is here, he will definitely not want you to risk your life. Qin Mulan also hurriedly opened his mouth to dissuade him, but Bai Ningxi didn't listen at all, "It's because it's very dangerous, so I want to go and see it even more, if I don't know what Gu poison is all my life, then didn't I Bai Ningxi live in vain?"
"......" Dugu Hanqiu knew Bai Ningxi's temperament, and it would be useless to say more, so he obediently closed his mouth, the palace master had sent a message before that he was going to seize the city order of Hanyang City, and he didn't know where the plan went, if he wanted to seize the city order of Hanyang, then the palace master must need help in Hanyang, no, he had to go over to help him!
Thinking of this, Dugu Hanqiu immediately said to Bai Ningxi, "If the young palace master insists on going to Dongchen, can you bring your subordinates with you?" Bai Ningxi nodded without hesitation, "Of course you can, I originally wanted you to go with me." β
After that, she turned her head to look at Qin Mulan and said to him, "Qin Mulan, I will bring Dugu Hanqiu and Qianfanmeng with me when I go to Dongchen this time, as for you to stay in the Annihilation Palace, how about it?"
"It's all up to the young palace master's orders. Qin Mulan lowered his eyebrows, then raised his head again and asked, "When does the young palace master plan to leave?"
"Tonight. Bai Ningxi smiled slightly.
It was a breeze and a night again, and Nankong Qian stood alone on the tower in the southwest of Gangneung City, sitting quietly and looking into the distance, I don't know when, the cold smoke and dust came to his side, "It's too desolate and miserable to blow the wind here so late, isn't it?"
He opened his mouth to joke, and Nankong smiled lightly, "I'm so busy, I've been going back and forth between Hanyang City and Gangneung City for the past few days, and I'm tired to death." With that, he fell backwards, and immediately the whole person was lying on the roof tiles on the tower.
"I'm sorry, I've been feeling a little unwell these days, and I'm not with you. Han Yanchen said with a smile, but in his heart he was thinking, why was he unwell!
In the past few days, the city lord's mansion has been busy, Nan Fengzhu and Nankong are in and out again, this city lord's mansion has strengthened the guards, if he wants to leave, I am afraid that the front foot has just left, Nan Fengzhu and their back foot will know, he is not worried that someone will follow him, but now the situation is special, he still has to be careful, so there is no way, he can only pretend to be sick and stay in the city lord's mansion obediently.
Han Yanchen slowly sat down and sat beside him, while Nankong glanced at him and smiled lightly, "What is there to apologize for, I didn't want you to meddle in these things anymore, and I didn't want you to get into it anymore." β
"What's the matter, are you worried about my safety?" Han Yanchen said in a joking tone, and Nankong smiled lightly and didn't answer, just asked lightly, "Then are you feeling better?"
"It's okay, anyway, the food and drink in the city lord's mansion can't starve me to death. β
"That's good. β
"By the way, is there a whereabouts of the poisonous scorpion?"
"Not yet! These people, after leaving Hanyang City, seemed to have disappeared, and sent many people to search for their whereabouts, but they all returned empty-handed. β
"I think they should also know that you are looking for their whereabouts, so I chose to hide first, and wait until the rumors have passed before taking the opportunity to leave Dongchen. β
"Perhaps. β
"Why don't you use the Dusheng Mirror to find their whereabouts? Won't your father let you use it?" Han Yanchen cautiously opened the topic, Nankong Qian said, "My father said, from now on, the Dusheng Mirror will be owned by me Nankong Qian, when to use it and when not to use it, it is all up to me to decide, no need to ask his opinion." β
"And what do you think?"
"There are pros and cons! I feel like I've been burdened a lot at once, just like when I was in Han Yanfeng before, because of a moment of curiosity, I used the Dusheng Mirror to know a lot of things, but after I knew it, I only felt that the world was heavy, so I was still hesitating, if I used the Dusheng Mirror to find the whereabouts of the poisonous scorpion, would it attract their attention to the Dusheng Mirror. β
"This is indeed a difficult problem to choose, if you want me to say, use the Dusheng Mirror to find the whereabouts of a poisonous scorpion, but in exchange for the attention of the Lu family, Wangtianmen and Qilin Gate for the Dusheng Mirror, it is indeed a little worthless, I am afraid that they still don't know what kind of realm your strength can reach, right?"
Nankong nodded silently.
Han Yanchen suddenly sank his gaze, and his deep eyes didn't know what he was thinking, but he slowly opened his mouth and said to Nankong, "You set a deadline for yourself, if you really can't find the whereabouts of the poisonous scorpion, it's understandable for you to cast a spell to urge the Dusheng Mirror." β
"That's exactly what I think, if there is no news of the poisonous scorpion or the Youyangqu in three days, I will cast a spell to urge the Dusheng Mirror, and when the time comes, I must make this guy pay for my lives in Jiangling City and the other innocent dead people!"
"I'm afraid...... He won't fall into your hands......" Han Yanchen said shallowly, Nankong was startled when he heard this, and got up and sat down, "What do you mean? You mean I can't catch him?"
Han Yanchen shook his head, "I mean, the people of the Lu family will never let him leave Hanyang City." β
"What...... What do you mean?" Nan Kongqian still didn't understand, and Han Yanchen couldn't help but feel curious when he saw his blank look, "Didn't they tell you?"
Nan Kongqian shook his head suddenly, "What are you talking about?"
Han Yanchen looked up to the sky and sighed, and then explained to him, "At the beginning, the poisonous scorpion was making poison for the Lu family, at that time he really worked for the Lu family, and Youyangqu was also under the orders of the Lu family, but later, this poisonous scorpion began to develop human Gu, and controlled the entire Lu family by controlling Lu Ming, and even the entire Hanyang City, do you think he and the Lu family will still stand in the same boat?"
Nankong thought about it carefully when he heard this, and suddenly realized-
"I see! What you mean is that the poisonous scorpion made poison for the Lu family before, in fact, they acquiesced, otherwise they would not have been able to find any evidence and no way to catch this poisonous scorpion for so many years, but now the situation is different, this poisonous scorpion developed human Gu without authorization, violating the bottom line of the Lu family, and now he is creating chaos in Hanyang City, and Youyangqu took advantage of the chaos to escape, I think, the old city lord Lu will definitely take this opportunity to get rid of him, so that no one knows what his relationship with the Lu family is, what kind of dirty transactions are behind it, once he dies, the Lu family can continue to maintain their status in Hanyang CityοΌβ
