Chapter 374: The People in the Palace
Ah Whale jumped up, but in the blink of an eye, it had quickly passed several people.
As soon as he defeated a person, he grabbed the blade with his hand, and in the shadow of the sword and sword, in the blink of an eye, there was already a river of blood.
After all, Ah Whale was born as a demon beast, and he was sealed under the cloud sea for 1,200 years, so he naturally didn't know how to use a sword or something, and it was naturally just a matter of picking up a sword to kill people, and he was also afraid of soiling his hands.
Looking at the devastation that unfolded in front of him in a blink of an eye, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but sigh.
"Although you want to crush them, you don't need to make a mess all over the ground, after you make all the mess, how can I clean it up?" Looking at Ah Whale, who had already thrown the blade aside, Dongfang Shuo immediately asked angrily.
Ah Whale looked around left and right, then smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, master, looking at their ugly faces, I really didn't stop for a while." ”
Dongfang Shuo covered his face.
When it comes to ugliness, Ah Whale's face is the ugliest.
But it seems that this guy's aesthetic is a bit problematic, and he seems to think that his image is the best-looking.
Dongfang Shuo finally sighed and said, "Forget it, I won't talk nonsense with you about the off-topic." ”
As the words fell, he casually used his spiritual power to send the flames down towards one of the corpses. When the flames quickly ignited the man, the fire dragon of spiritual power quickly diverged and swam in all directions, but in the blink of an eye, the entire audience was already enveloped in scorching aura.
No one passes by here, and the firelight is not conspicuous in the sunlight, so it naturally does not cause any movement.
In the blink of an eye, the flames gradually dissipated, and all the bones disappeared completely. It's a pity that under the scorching fire, the blood stains quickly solidified and blackened, and although the bones remained, these blood stains still could not be concealed.
Despite this, Dongfang Shuo's face was still open.
Unhurriedly, he unhurriedly activated another stream of spiritual power, which turned into a spring and poured through the entire street.
Where the water passed, the coagulated and blackened blood stains were also washed away, and almost only some imprints were left that were imperceptible to the naked eye.
"Go back. ”
After recovering his spiritual power, Dongfang Shuo looked at Ah Whale.
Ah Whale nodded, and then Dongfang Shuo emitted a brilliant light from the mountains and rivers map, and took advantage of the situation to withdraw Ah Whale from the mountains and rivers map.
And after dealing with everything, Dongfang Shuo turned around and looked at Lu Zhiqian, who was in a trance.
"Are you scared?" Dongfang Shuo smiled.
This sentence made Lu Zhiqian regain some consciousness, and the latter immediately looked at the former.
The latter said: "This is the imperial city, you actually ...... Kill them all?"
Not only killed, but also broken.
"If we don't kill them, we won't end up much better than them. Dongfang Shuo said.
Lu Zhi pursed his lips, this is a fact, he has nothing to say, but he still needs to thank Dongfang Shuo.
If it weren't for Dongfang Shuo's action, they might have died.
"But...... The guy who helped you kill people just now...... Where are you now?" Lu Zhiqian's eyes still had a look of surprise.
"Where he should be, you don't have to ask about superfluous things. Dongfang Shuo said with a smile.
Although this answer did not answer Lu Zhiqian's question at all, the latter also understood that this was not a question that he should continue to ask.
So, he said, "But in that case, what should be done with these marks, in case they ......?"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Dongfang Shuo immediately shook his head and said, "There is no case." The people sent by the gambling stone field are all here, no one knows where they died, the imperial city is so big, and when the people from the gambling stone field find here, the mark has long been covered by dust, and even washed away by heavy rain. ”
Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had doubts in his heart, and he said: "I still think this matter is inappropriate, in case someone finds out the clues, the two of us will be finished." ”
Seeing him like this, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but sigh.
"I understand what you're worried about, but don't worry, you don't have to worry about whether or not you'll be seen. At this point, Dongfang Shuo slowly raised his head, and after a moment of silence, he looked at the entrance of an alley on this street, "Because the whole process of our killing has been seen." ”
"What did you say?"
Lu Zhiqian was startled and took a step back.
At the same time, at the mouth of the alley where Dongfang Shuo's eyes converged, a figure slowly walked out.
It was a middle-aged man, and although his face was wrinkled, his skin and flesh were very white. In addition, Dongfang Shuo also felt that this person's aura was slightly different from that of ordinary men.
"You're from the palace, right?"
After the silence lasted for a moment, Dongfang Shuo was the first to ask.
The other party nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
This kind of question and answer immediately made Lu Zhiqian tremble, and his face instantly turned pale.
"How could the people in the palace appear here? What should he do if he saw what happened just now?" Lu Zhiqian called out again and again, and his voice was constantly deflated.
After Dongfang Shuo glanced at him, he looked at the middle-aged eunuch again.
"Are you from Xu Changsheng?"
He asked.
Although the other party is middle-aged, Xu Changsheng is already more than seventy years old, so it is not surprising that even if he is Xu Changsheng's subordinate.
"The people in the palace are all His Majesty's people. The middle-aged eunuch bowed his hand to the sky.
With that, he lowered his hand again.
Dongfang Shuo smiled: "You're here to kill me?"
The eunuch shook his head: "No. ”
"That's what protects me. Dongfang Shuo said such a judgment after snorting.
This judgment made the eunuch squint.
Then, the eunuch took a few steps closer without moving, but Dongfang Shuo always stood in place, not moving at all, and did not even change his expression in the slightest.
After a few steps, he stood still, and the eunuch said, "It's also possible that our family is here to spy on you." ”
Dongfang Shuo smiled: "You are Your Majesty's person, right? Why does Your Majesty want to spy on me?"
"Divine will is like an abyss. The eunuch said, "Unfathomable." ”
Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "You were not sent by the emperor, you came out for personal matters." The aura on your body is strong, far from being comparable to a king, which shows that you are already a great power in the refining stage. With my cultivation, it is absolutely impossible to feel the aura of power, unless you do not intend to hide yourself. If the Emperor sends you to spy on me, you will not expose yourself. ”
"That's right, keep going. The eunuch smiled.
Dongfang Shuo continued: "Secondly, just now I said that you are from Xu Changsheng, and you did not answer me positively but only sloppily. And when I asked me if you were here to kill me, you immediately gave me an answer. This shows that when you are sloppy, you are deliberately avoiding it. Besides, you probably don't want me to think you're here to kill me, so you can see that the person who sent you here is on my side. ”
"The prince and I have a relationship, but if I scolded him three times in a row, he must have a grudge against me, thank God if he didn't kill me, he shouldn't be on my side. The Sixth Prince, he already knows a lot, so there is no need to send someone to keep an eye on me. Therefore, if you are not the person sent by the emperor, then you can only be someone under Xu Changsheng. ”
A judgment, a smooth flow.
As he spoke, his expression was even more indifferent.
The eunuch listened to his remarks, but there was a deep meaning in his eyes, and after he finished speaking, he laughed dryly, and then said: "Then, how can you conclude that our family can only be sent by these four people?"
The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth hooked: "So, you weren't sent by the emperor?"
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then sighed.
"Sure enough, I still underestimated you, and I actually set up a trap for our family in this place. The eunuch said, "Yes, your guess is very right, it was Manager Xu who asked our family to come." However, our family and Mr. Xu are not related, but our family owes him, and after helping him this time, he and I will settle it. ”
Dongfang Shuo said: "So, Xu Changsheng asked you to protect me?"
The eunuch immediately shook his head: "He only asked me to keep an eye on you." ”
"Staring at me?"
Dongfang Shuo sank his gaze, and after thinking for a moment, he immediately raised his head and said, "Isn't this what it means to let you protect?"
The eunuch frowned, his face puzzled and puzzled.
Dongfang Shuo immediately explained: "Look, he asked you to stare at me, what are you going to do by staring at me? Of course, he wants to see what I'm doing." And if I'm going to do something, I have to be alive, right? After such a simple scrutiny, doesn't he mean that you want you to keep an eye on me while keeping me alive?
"I ...... This ......" the eunuch couldn't argue for a while, and then he flicked his sleeves and said, "I won't fight with you." But we want to know, what is the purpose of your clever persuasion of me to protect you?"
Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "It's not persuasion, but to explain the facts." ”
With the lessons of the past, Dongfang Shuo naturally cannot show the slightest flaw.
When the eunuch heard this, he sighed, and then said, "That's it, let's talk about your purpose." ”
"I want to trace the people behind these killers. ”
Oriental Shuo Road.
The eunuch narrowed his eyes and said, "Within the Imperial City, the relationship between all the forces is intertwined, and in such an intricate network of relationships, any force on either side may involve many giants. If they dare to do something to you in the Imperial City, it means that they are sure that they can settle this matter. If you investigate such forces, you will inevitably be burned. ”
"I want you to check, but not me, what kind of fire do I lead and what kind of body do I burn?" Dongfang Shuo spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "When did I promise to help you investigate this kind of thing?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to protect me?"
"Protecting you is just to ensure your safety, where am I obliged to die with you?"
The eunuch frowned.
Obviously, living deep in the palace, his desire to survive is still very strong.
But Dongfang Shuo hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Who is the death, I will only know after checking." When the words fell, he flipped his hand, and a jade pendant appeared in his hand.
The back of the jade pendant is engraved with Xia Chunxiao's name, and on the front, it is written in upright handwriting: Yuling Palace.
