Chapter 35: Confrontation

Black clouds overwhelmed the city, thunder flashed, as if a storm was about to sweep the entire Chang'an City, accompanied by the tearing of the gale, the ancient trees on the street made an overwhelming sound. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the huge General Zhao Mansion, there are two figures standing in the center of the council hall at this moment, one of them is wearing a bloodstained night clothes, looking at the figure is slender and cold, accompanied by the six-winged golden Gu resting on the shoulders directly caused the scalps of everyone present to tingle.

The other person was wearing the women's patrol uniform of Dali Temple, holding a red crystal-like horizontal knife in front of him, and there was a sassy woman in the posture of the city, but through the fight between the two of them, they were obviously weaker than Gu worms in terms of strength.

But even so, the female patrol in front of her, known as Mo Wushuang, is still the savior in the eyes of all the guests in the hall.

"Don't come to harm's way, Sister Xiangling, or should I still call your real name - Hu Xueyao?"

The lightning flashed, and the silver light brightened the assassin's cold eyes, and he only stiffened his body when he looked in Mo Wushuang's direction.

"By the way, I haven't made a formal introduction for a long time, my name is Mo Wushuang, I am the patrol of the Shendu Dali Temple, and I sneaked into the Cuiyan Pavilion to investigate the case of Jin Gu. ā€

As he spoke, he took out the patrol token in his arms, and saw that "Xiangling" didn't say much, Mo Wushuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, obviously she was not very good at facing this kind of occasion.

"Then my identity was told to you by Xiangling?"

Without denying it, the assassin in front of him tore off the gauze scarf on his face and threw it into the gale outside the hall, revealing Mo Wushuang's familiar appearance, but unfortunately it was not the familiar expression of the past.

"No, she didn't reveal anything the whole time, the above conclusions are my own speculation, and there is no evidence to confirm your identity. ā€

"So you're coming to trick me and let me confess myself, right?"

"Xiangling" looked at Mo Wushuang's pretending to be calm and smiled coldly.

"It's a shame that you're starting to suspect me just by guessing, and although it's nothing to reveal now, it's really like your character. ā€

Glancing at the elite soldiers who were gradually approaching around him, he shook his wings with the six-winged golden Gu on his shoulder, and was so frightened that the surrounding elite soldiers crawled out of the house, and then looked towards Mo Wushuang.

"To be honest, if you don't admit it, I really can't help it, but now that you admit it, some things that didn't make sense are finally clear. ā€

"Earlier, Sister Xue Yao lied to me that you had murderous intentions because the village was slaughtered, and stole the refining method of the Spirit Devouring Golden Gu from her, and started a series of revenge actions against the tragedy twelve years ago. ā€

"With your character, it is indeed possible to go this way, but no matter what I think, you have no reason to kill Xiao Zhiyin, after all, this will only make more people focus on Cuiyan Pavilion, so the gains outweigh the losses. ā€

"Moreover, I heard an interesting anecdote about his conversation with the Gu King earlier, in which he once said that Hu Xueyao, the daughter of the Gu King, had a pleasant voice and was by no means mute, which further deepened my doubts about the identity of the top brand in the Cuiyan Pavilion at this moment. ā€

"Didn't you hear her say it? She was sick and couldn't speak. Seeing that the corners of Xiangling's mouth curled, Mo Wushuang immediately understood the disdain in the other party's heart.

"If we outsiders look at it, it is indeed impossible to distinguish between a congenital mute person and an acquired mute person, but there is a Di Huaiying next to me who is good at medical skills. ā€

He distinguished Sister Xue Yao's swallowing movements and habits from his daily observations, but told me that Sister Xue Yao was born mute, not an acquired injury. ā€

"So what, hearsay can prove that I am the Hu Xueyao that everyone is looking for?" Xiumu looked at Mo Wushuang, and the corners of her mouth curled again.

"It's true that I can't prove it, but last night I suddenly checked a sentence when the five people went to southern Xinjiang to record the information of the Golden Gu, so I really became suspicious. ā€

"The Soul Devouring Golden Gu Refining Method is the secret of the Hu family, and I heard that it was passed down by the current head of the family by word of mouth in the heirs, so I didn't find any Golden Gu refining method, which is a regret in my life!"

Mo Wushuang raised the file on his waist high, and his hand fell in front of "Xiangling", but he saw that the gray handwriting on it was still faintly visible!

"Sister Xiangling... You were only seven years old when the Gu King was captured in Dali Temple, if you didn't deliberately indoctrinate you, you would never have learned to refine Gu, if you hadn't deliberately instilled it, you would never have been able to recognize the varieties of poisonous insects, and if you hadn't deliberately instilled it, how could you have learned the cultivation method of scavenging grass in southern Xinjiang?"

"You know, most girls at this age have just learned to read, and it has only been ten years since they became a Gu, and it is impossible for Sister Xue Yao to teach you so many things through other channels......"

This time, "Xiangling" finally stopped quibbling, and looked at Mo Wushuang's appearance quietly, and then suddenly his momentum changed, and a deep sigh came.

"Stinky girl, you're not stupid at all......"

"When I was a child, my father, who was the Gu King, has been teaching me how to recognize insects and refine Gu since I was born, and when I watched my peers playing outside and I could only face a bunch of poisonous insects, I hated this family very much. ā€

"It wasn't until I was six years old, when my father suddenly brought back a dirty girl and said that it was my slave, that I finally had the opportunity to play with my peers, but she was illiterate and could not talk to me. ā€

"However, compared to a bunch of poisonous insects, I am satisfied with ......"

"A year has passed, my father is gone, my mother has injured her body because of long-term longing and overwork, that day I still remember that it was a rainy morning, my mother was seriously ill and urgently needed medicine, because Xiangling couldn't speak, so I rushed into the rain alone. ā€

"When I was a child, I was frail, and it was close to noon when I traveled more than ten miles, and I finally got the medicine home on the village road, but I didn't expect to see the smoke rolling in the direction of the village, and the blood of the village next to the mountain gate soaked through the stone platform, and I didn't flee in the direction of the door, but I saw these five beasts striding towards Xiangling, who had been unconscious, and only when I was the maid of the Hu family, they were sold to the Cuiyan Pavilion together. ā€

"From that time on, I learned the truth of the matter from Xiangling's pen, and it was also from that time that I continued to try to refine my father's famous Soul Devouring Golden Gu to avenge my mother's shame. ā€

"With Xiangling's identity in my place, I gained the freedom to go out to the Cuiyan Pavilion, gained a channel to inquire about the news, gained the opportunity to find materials, and gained the time to refine the Golden Gu. ā€

"I've been waiting for 12 years, and today that's the last goal. ā€

"Stupid girl, if you get out of the way and allow me to kill this brute, I promise to stay away from the mundane dust with Xiangling from now on, and I won't have to harm people with Jin Gu again. ā€

"But if you insist on hindering it, today will be the day when you and I will break off our sleeves, only if you protect the wicked and consider them my enemies!"

The sound of Jin Gu's wings flapping sounded again, Mo Wushuang tightened the patrol order in his arms, raised his eyes to look at Sister Xiangling, whose eyes seemed to be pleading, but he could only sigh deeply helplessly.

"I am the patrol of Dali Temple, and today I am only here to catch you......"
