Chapter 171: Control Gu to take his life and return to the city with the corpse
As soon as Gu Qing said this, Nan Fengzhu's anger disappeared in an instant, he glared at Nan Kong Qian angrily, and then didn't say anything, but turned around and sat in his seat, and Nan Kong Qian heard Gu Qing's sentence 'He doesn't know all this', and couldn't help but smile contemptuously, "It seems that you really plan to hide it from me all the time, do you really think I don't know anything?"
"Young Master, things are not what you think. Hearing this, Gu Qing hurriedly turned his head and explained to Nan Kongqian, but Nankong Qian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is that? Aren't you trying so hard to keep the poisonous scorpion in Hanyang City just to use him to deal with the Lu family and get the Hanyang City Order? Now that Lu Feiyang is dead, are you satisfied!?"
"Young Master!" Gu Qing exclaimed, but Nan Fengzhu was even more angry, "What's the matter, after learning the Prophet Secret Technique, the wings are stiff, right?
"I didn't!" Nankong retorted, "You said it yourself, I am the master of the Dusheng Mirror, and I just used the Dusheng Mirror to know what I should know, so I didn't do whatever I wanted!"
"You're still reasonable, aren't you!" Nan Fengzhu slapped the table angrily, "Do you think that when I asked you to go to Hanyan Peak to practice the Prophet Secret Technique, I could let you use the Dusheng Mirror to do nonsense?"
"I didn't! You've been hiding something from me and won't tell me!"
"I don't tell you that I naturally have my reasons, who let you cast a spell to urge the Du Sheng Mirror without authorization! Do you know that everything is caused by you alone!"
If it weren't for the fact that you wanted to seize the Hanyang City Order, keep that poisonous scorpion in Jiangling City, and prevent Lu Feiyang from taking him away, would things have developed to this point?"
"You ......" Nan Fengzhu was angry, and suddenly his chest suddenly throbbed, he leaned down in pain, clutching his chest, Gu Qing saw the situation and hurriedly stepped forward, "Master, master!"
Seeing this scene, Nan Kongqian's brain suddenly calmed down a lot, he realized that he was too impulsive and shouldn't have been so confrontational with his father, so he slowly stepped forward, wanting to see his situation, but was stopped by Nan Fengzhu with one hand, pointing to him outside the door and angrily saying to him, "You get out of me, get out of me!"
Nankong Qian suddenly froze in place, and Gu Qing hurriedly said to him when he saw the situation, "Young master, you go back to the room first, the master has me here." With that, Nankong glanced at him, reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, and then turned to leave.
Because Gu Qing was taking care of Nan Fengzhu, and only Wei Xi was taking care of it alone at the city gate, Nankong thought about it for a while, and decided to go and see if there was anything to help.
There is nothing on the side of the city gate, it is nothing more than to strengthen patrols and inspections, but on the side of the dungeon, because the dungeon was destroyed by the fight between Nankong Qian and Su Zai, and now they have to lock up Su Zai elsewhere, and on the other hand, they have to clean up the broken mess, when Nankong Qian came to the dungeon, Wei Xi was leading people to clean up the remaining remnants of the wall and rocks.
"Young City Lord. Wei Xi immediately bowed when he saw Nankong Qian coming, Nankong Qian smiled slightly, and also bowed his head in response, and then looked at them cleaning up, and suddenly felt a trace of guilt in his heart, "I'm sorry, if it wasn't for my impulsiveness, these things wouldn't have happened, thank you for your hard work." ”
"Young City Lord, don't say that, these things are originally within the scope of our responsibility, besides, the Young City Lord is kind-hearted, so naturally he can't see those four guards innocently killed in vain, so you can't control yourself for a while and want to kill the poisonous scorpion, and your subordinates can understand it. Wei Xi smiled faintly, but Nankong smiled slightly, and in an instant, he suddenly remembered one thing-
"By the way, what about Lu Feiyang's corpse!?" he turned to ask Wei Xi.
"In the Righteous Pavilion. ”
"Take me to see it. With that, Wei Xi took Nan Kongqian to the Yi Pavilion opposite the exit on the left side of the dungeon, where the corpses were stored, Lu Feiyang's body was placed alone in a small room, Wei Xi led Nan Kongqian and walked in cautiously, lifted the cover, and Lu Feiyang's face like ashes suddenly appeared in their sight.
"The subordinates have already experienced the corpse, and there is only one fatal wound on the whole body, which was done by the long sword, that is, it is true, it was done by the four guards who were controlled by Gu poison, and the city lord has sent someone to Hanyang City to inform Lu Ming of his death, and the corpse will be transported back to Hanyang City tomorrow, and today, it will be temporarily placed here. ”
And Nankong looked at Lu Feiyang's corpse in a daze, and was speechless for a long time, "Young City Lord, what's wrong with you?" Wei Xi saw that he didn't speak, so he asked out loud, Nankong Qian shook his head when he heard this, "It's nothing." ”
"The young city lord is worried, once this Lu Feiyang dies, we will not be able to explain to Hanyang City and the Lu family?"
At this moment, it is noon, the sun is shining on the head, people can't help but boil hot, the mood is depressed, Nankong shallow walked out of the Yi Pavilion, it seems that he can't breathe through it, Wei Xi came out, seeing that he looked troubled and depressed, he was also very confused in his heart, could it be that what he said was wrong?
"If the young city lord has something on his mind, he might as well spit it out to Wei Xi, maybe his subordinates can solve problems for the young city lord!" Wei Xi took the initiative to step forward and look at Nan Kongqian with a smile, Nankong Qian turned his head to look at him again, then smiled lightly, received his kindness, and asked him as he walked out, "Brother Wei, there is a question, I have always wanted to ask you." ”
"Young City Lord, please speak. Wei Xi also followed by his side.
"Gangneung City is so big, and there are a lot of people in the army, but why, I see you alone, and I don't see other generals?"
"This question, the young city lord should ask the old city lord, I am just the commander of the city guards, and I don't know much about these things, I'm afraid I can't answer the young city lord's question. ”
"Are the other people hidden by my father?" Nan Kongqian couldn't help but laugh and joke, and Wei Xi also grinned, "Such a big person, how can you say that you can hide it, maybe the old city lord has something more important for them to do." ”
"Brother Wei, you said that my father has been keeping the poisonous scorpion in prison and not letting Lu Feiyang take him back to Hanyang City, isn't it...... Is there another purpose?" Nankong Qian cautiously let out a tentative voice, Wei Xi suddenly looked puzzled, "What does the young city lord mean by this?"
Hearing this, Nan Kong Qian suddenly stopped and looked at Wei Xi, looking at him with a blank look, Nan Kong Qian couldn't help but be a little confused, didn't he know?" "I mean, Dad won't let the poisonous scorpion go back to Hanyang City, and won't let him die, maybe, what do you want to do with him." He smiled again with a deliberate tentativeness.
Wei Xi is not a fool, he naturally knows the meaning of Nankong Qian's words, but ...... He lowered his eyes and smiled, "Young City Lord, I, Wei Xi, am just the commander of the city guards, what does the old city lord think, it has nothing to do with me, all in all, my mission is to protect the city of Jiangling and protect the people here, other things, I don't know, I don't want to know." ”
"Aren't you curious?" Nankong couldn't help but be even more confused when he saw his attitude, but Wei Xi still shook his head, "Young City Lord, if you can simply live in this world until you die of old age, who wouldn't want to?" But there are some things you don't do, it doesn't mean that others won't do it, you are kind, it doesn't mean that others are as kind as you, so, I think the old city lord kept the life of the poisonous scorpion and continued to lock him in the dungeon, there must be a reason for him, if the young city lord really wants to know, why don't you ask the old city lord in person?"
"Even if I asked him, he wouldn't have told me. Speaking of this, he lowered his eyes a little disappointed, and Wei Xi also guessed more or less from his words, so he said to Nan Kongqian, "If the old city lord doesn't tell you, he should have his thoughts, after all, the young city lord is still young, and it may not be a good thing to know some things." ”
Listening to Wei Xi's tone, Nan Kongqian remembered what Shu Xie Zhenren and his father had said to him before, so he felt even more lost, "Even you said that, do you all think that I am useless?"
"Of course that's not the case!" Wei Xi hurriedly explained, "The young city lord has returned from studying at the Qilin Gate, and he is the master of the Dusheng Mirror and the young city lord of Jiangling City, how can he be a useless person, but in this world, it really can't be determined by being useful or useless, the young city lord must understand this truth." ”
Nankong smiled disdainfully, then turned around and left, Wei Xi saw the situation and hurriedly followed him, "I'm sorry Young City Lord, Wei Xi has never experienced these things, just blindly talking nonsense with the Young City Lord, Young City Lord, don't take it to heart." ”
"Brother Wei is serious, the truth is reasonable, it is still very reasonable, it's just that my own brain is dull and I can't figure it out, please don't mind it, big brother. ”
"The young city lord laughed, how can you be the kind of stupid and clumsy person, the young city lord is still young, and the time to return to Jiangling City is not long, naturally, there will be something I can't understand about the things in this city, here is not as good as the Qilin Gate kind of immortal cultivation place, if the young city lord really can't understand, just ask the old city lord, if the old city lord refuses to say, then you can also go and ask Uncle Qing, I think, he should be happy to tell you. ”
When Wei Xi said this, Nankong Qian felt that it made sense, when he spoke disrespectfully today, thanks to Uncle Qing who had been speaking for him by his side, Uncle Qing had always been by his father's side, if he asked him himself, he might be able to understand some of his father's thoughts.
