Chapter 187: Captured
Shangguan Xilin's calmness calmed the emotions of his subordinates very well, and the panic caused by the high strength of Bi Qinglin and others gradually subsided. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the dark night, no one noticed that Shangguan Xilin was secretly congratulating himself on a whim.
If it weren't for the fact that after the end of his cultivation, he occasionally fiddled with a set of phantom arrays that Jinghong gave him, then he must have become the meat on the chopping block of the murderer at this time.
"Lord, there are no thieves sneaking into the inner courtyard, and the lady and the young lord and wife are fine. A middle-aged female cultivator's clear voice sounded, interrupting his thoughts.
This is one of the subordinates he sent to investigate the situation in the inner courtyard, and his name is Lin Wanni.
Shangguan Xilin breathed a sigh of relief, and then still sent Lin Wanni and the others to the inner courtyard to strengthen the defense.
Lin Wanni bowed down to receive the order, and turned around and left with a few companions.
Shangguan Xilin put his mind at ease, turned his head and put all his attention on dealing with Bi Qinglin and the others.
He first used the phantom array to slowly separate Bi Qinglin and the others who had been gathered together, and then concentrated all the forces on his side to break them one by one.
Bi Qinglin, who was the leader, was the last to be caught, and when his twelve subordinates were neatly arranged in front of him like zongzi, he could no longer escape the fact that they had capsized in the gutter.
Shangguan Xilin was not polite to them.
Of course, no one would be polite to their enemies.
He directly picked a monk whose cultivation was not as good as his own and wanted to search for souls, so frightened that Bi Qinglin hurriedly shouted and asked his subordinates to show mercy.
Shangguan Xilin originally wanted to give him a kick, but the words he said made Shangguan Xilin hesitate.
Bi Qinglin said: "Your subordinates are merciful, Lord Shangguan. As long as you let my brother go, I promise to tell you everything. I can swear that I will tell the truth, and if I tell a lie, I will be thundered and I will not die. ”
I have to say that Bi Qinglin's condition is really tempting.
Shangguan Xilin's cultivation is not as high as Bi Qinglin's, and in order to avoid being counterattacked, he doesn't dare to search Bi Qinglin's soul at all.
That's why he chose someone else to do the surgery.
But at the same time, he also knew very well in his heart that Bi Qinglin, as the leader, must know the ins and outs of this whole matter better than anyone else.
In other words, if he wants to find out who is behind the scenes, the best way is undoubtedly to agree to Bi Qinglin's conditions.
Bi Qinglin quickly sensed Shangguan Xilin's vacillation, he tried to raise his head, and continued to persuade: "Lord Shangguan, I know that you can hand us over to the Jinghong Hall to deal with. But think about it, how far away is the Thrilling Palace? By the time they send someone, I'm afraid you'll be killed by the next batch of even more powerful assassins. Wouldn't it be better for you to give us a way to live, and at the same time a way for yourself to survive, than to risk your own life?"
Shangguan Xilin hadn't said anything yet, but the middle-aged monk with a short figure had already been moved by him one step ahead.
He transmitted his voice to Shangguan Xilin, "Your Excellency, the people behind the scenes sent so many people to kill you at once, the plan must be not small. They failed to succeed this time, and the killer sent next time will definitely be even more powerful. And although this thief can't be trusted, there is one thing he said that he is not wrong. We really can't afford to wait. ”
Shangguan Xilin didn't know that he just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart for a while, and he didn't want to let go of these guys who killed people and set fires so simply.
Because Bi Qinglin is doing this kind of unsightly business, he has been dealing with all kinds of characters for almost half of his life, and he has long developed a good ability to observe words and feelings, Shangguan Xilin's vacillation and hesitation are in his eyes, and he has guessed eight or nine points for the reason for his hesitation.
He rolled his eyes, and then took the initiative to add a restriction to his side, "Lord Shangguan, as long as you are willing to let our brother leave safely, not only will I know everything about you, but my brothers and I will never step into Tuzhou again, and we will never trouble you for any reason." ”
Shangguan Xilin took a deep breath, "First, you have to tell me everything you know as it is, and then leave Tuzhou with your people immediately; second, all of you must swear that you will never set foot in Tuzhou again from now on, and you will never be an enemy of my Shangguan clan for any reason, and you will never reveal any news related to the Tuzhou Lord's Mansion or this incident to anyone." ”
Bi Qinglin responded without any hesitation, but the way he looked at Shangguan Xilin was very strange.
Unspeakable subtle sympathy and secret schadenfreude were intertwined, and Bi Qinglin couldn't control his expression a little.
He was looking forward to it now, looking forward to seeing Shangguan Xilin's wonderful expression after learning the truth.
After Shangguan Xilin, Bi Qinglin and the others all made their own oaths, Bi Qinglin immediately explained everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
In order to win Shangguan Xilin's trust, he also took out the communication jade talisman that Shangguan Meng gave him to contact Xuanyuan Fu.
Shangguan Xilin thought that he had misheard, and it wasn't until the communication jade talisman was handed to him that he came to his senses.
Looking at Bi Qinglin's eyes full of schadenfreude, Shangguan Xilin only felt a fishy sweetness in his throat.
He tried his best to suppress the surging qi and blood, and then said to Bi Qinglin in a deep voice: "Stay the jade talisman, you can go." ”
When Bi Qinglin heard this, he hurriedly threw the jade talisman on the stone table, and then immediately left the Tuzhou Lord's Mansion with his own people.
Although they capsized in the gutter this time, Bi Qinglin and the others felt very relieved to see such a good show.
So as soon as they came out of the lord's mansion, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
At the same time, Shangguan Xilin in the lord's mansion had already fallen to the ground.
His subordinates rushed to rescue him.
After eating the healing pill and calming down the retrograde qi and blood, he ordered someone to "invite" Xuanyuan Fu to come over.
Xuanyuan Fu had already realized that something was wrong when Lin Wanni brought someone to guard the lord's mansion, but she tried to go to the front yard several times to inquire about the news, but Lin Wanni stopped her on the grounds that the front yard was not safe.
She was jumping to her feet in a hurry, but Shangguan Xilin suddenly sent someone to "invite" her, which made her suddenly have a bad premonition.
The corner of her eyes swept to Shangguan Jingyu, who was sitting on the side and drinking tea leisurely, she immediately walked over a few steps and grabbed Shangguan Jingyu's sleeve, and begged him to go with her in a low voice.
Shangguan Jingyu immediately agreed—although he didn't understand why Xuanyuan Fu was so anxious, he was also curious why Shangguan Xilin just called Xuanyuan Fu over.
You know, this has never happened before.
