Chapter 183: Persistent Invitation
Zi'er and Beichen Luo retreated to the edge of the cliff, and both of them decided to go into the cave at night to investigate, although they really wanted to destroy the Gu corpse inside as soon as possible and catch the person behind the scenes, but Beichen Luo and Zi'er did not lose their minds, they knew very well in their hearts that the people who could find such a secret stronghold and put up a thousand gang arrays were definitely not ordinary people, even if they wanted to investigate, it was not so easy to find out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not difficult to destroy this stronghold, but who can guarantee that there won't be any other stronghold besides this stronghold? If we don't find out the situation and find out everything, the number of victims will only increase.
But with this clue, even if you can't destroy these things for a while, you can still follow the vine, and investigate it tonight, and then let people keep an eye on this place in the future, and the people who follow the stewards will always be able to touch the people behind the scenes.
Fortunately, they came to this Black Rock Beach yesterday to have a look, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to discover the secrets here.
After dark, Zi'er and Beichen Luo entered the cave, after the Qiangang array, this time the two of them were not hiding, but went directly to investigate, those Gu corpses looked even more terrifying at night, if it weren't for the fact that Beichen Luo and Zi'er were both bold people, they were afraid that when they saw those things at night, their courage would be broken.
As Beichen Luo said, those Gu corpses were all trained in the house, in the damp and dark room in the entire valley, and it was still a big night, the one who trained these Gu corpses was an old man with gray hair, and those Gu corpses, or the Gu worms in the Gu corpses, were controlled by sound.
The gray-haired old man trained these Gu corpses with a bamboo Xiao and ventriloquism.
Listening to those poignant ventriloquists in the middle of the night, I was as bold as Zi'er, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over the ground.
In the valley, there is a strong smell of medicine, Zi'er secretly filled a few bottles of potion, planning to take it back for study, Gu corpses also need to be raised with potions on weekdays, otherwise even if they have Gu worms in their bodies, their bodies will be damaged.
Zi'er felt that these potions had similar functions to formalin. Go back and study it carefully, and catch the person behind the curtain in the future, so that he can taste the taste of these potions.
There are twenty-three Gu corpses in the valley, and there are not many people in them, except for the old man, there are only seven or eight people, those people should all be medicine boys, and there is also an old aunt, who should be cooking.
This place should only be used to train Gu corpses, as for where the Gu corpses were made, they need to be investigated.
In the case that there are not too many useful clues, you can only let people stare at it first, but it is not easy to transport these Gu corpses over, first of all, the distance must not be too far, otherwise the Gu corpses are not soaked in potions, and they are easy to rot. It's also impossible to soak in the middle of the road, so it's easy for people to spot.
Therefore, Beichen Luo and Zi'er both thought that the place where the Gu corpse was made was near Lingyun City.
When the two returned to Ziyuan Villa, it was already past breakfast time, and the martial arts conference had been held for five days, and the current competition was a bit interesting. The first round of the competition has ended, and now the people who are competing on the field have relatively high martial arts.
The injuries on the bodies of the people of the Four Demons and the Evil Heaven Alliance have already improved a lot, and after checking the valley, Zi'er and Beichen Luo both believe that those mysterious people must be related to the Gu corpses in the valley, but those mysterious people must be living people, not Gu corpses.
The person behind the scenes spent so much effort to make Gu corpses, he would definitely not use them easily, and only at the most critical and favorable moment would this hole card be revealed.
Only by using these Gu corpses in the army and on the battlefield can they play their greatest role.
It's just that why did those mysterious people choose to return to the cave after hurting them? They don't need to train those Gu corpses, and when they go back to that valley, they are more likely to expose the secrets of the valley.
Did they think that the valley was secret enough, and there was a thousand gang arrays blocking it, and no one could break into it?
Zi'er felt that it was very likely that this was the case, those people relied on their own ability and the strength of the Qiangang Array, so they didn't worry about it at all. Besides, their ability to sweep away traces is really powerful, if it weren't for Zi'er, I'm afraid no one would know that they were heading for that cave.
After seeing the Four Evils and asking about the situation that day, Zi'er felt that those mysterious people were really a little surprised that those mysterious people did something to the Four Evils, and the reason why they did it was just to know who the new leader of the Heavenly Evil Alliance was?
And they went to Black Rock Beach on a temporary basis, and when they went there, they met these mysterious people, and then they shot under an extremely unexpected pretext, which is really strange.
Is it possible that because they met the Four Evils, those mysterious people were seen by the Four Evils, so they found such an excuse to do something to them, so that people would think that these mysterious people were killing the Four Evils, so they appeared on Black Rock Beach?
And their original intention was to go to the Black Rock Beach, to that valley, but unfortunately, the Four Evils saw them appear on the Black Rock Beach, and in order not to be suspicious of their purpose in the Black Rock Beach, they made the illusion of killing them. But they don't want to kill all the people of the Evil Heaven Alliance, otherwise there will be trouble that will not be easy to clean up, after all, the people of the Evil Heaven Alliance came to participate in the martial arts conference, but they were all wiped out, which will definitely make the martial arts people panic, so the various sects joined forces to track down the black hand who killed the Evil Heaven Alliance, so many people were mixed in, who knows what things will turn into? Will the secrets of the valley be discovered?
The more Zi'er thought about it, the more she felt that it should be like this, the people of the Evil Heaven Alliance had suffered an unjustified disaster, and if those mysterious people were found in Black Rock Beach at that time, no matter who they were, I am afraid they would do it.
And Ouyang Ping's appearance, I don't know if it was an accident, or if he was originally with those mysterious people?
Zi'er felt that the latter was more likely.
In this way, Ouyang Ping and those Gu corpses are afraid that they will not be able to get out of the relationship.
If you want to find out about the Gu corpse, you have to keep an eye on Ouyang Ping.
It's just that although they have been targeting Ouyang Ping for a long time, it is not easy, Ouyang Ping's martial arts are too high, and it is really not difficult for him to get rid of the people who are staring.
Ouyang Ruru was also stared at, but she was just like a boudoir lady, she stayed in the yard on weekdays, and nothing unusual was found in her.
"Master, Ouyang Ruru is here, do you want to see her?"
As soon as she thought of Ouyang Ruru, she came.
"Let her wait in the main hall." Zi'er stood up and walked to the dresser, Bai Mei had just helped her tie her hair in a neat and simple bun, and she didn't need to change her clothes. However, not long after she came back, Ouyang Ruru came to the door, and she got the news of her return so quickly?
"Sister Zi'er," Before Zi'er entered the main hall, she heard Ouyang Ruru's Qingyue's voice, and she quickly got up to greet her.
"Sister Ouyang," Zi'er smiled at Ouyang Ruru, took her hand and returned to the seat together, and looked at her with a smile after the maid had set up the tea and snacks, "Sister Ouyang came here by coincidence, I just came back, if my sister came over earlier, I would still be on the way." ”
"Ah," Ouyang Ruru looked surprised, and said with some embarrassment: "Then did I disturb my sister's rest?" I knew that my sister had just come back, so I waited for my sister to rest before coming over. ”
"It's so tiring, and it's a carriage on the road, and it's not far." Zi'er glanced at Ouyang Ruru meaningfully, she really didn't know that she had just come back? She really didn't believe it.
Ouyang Ruru took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I wanted to come over and talk to my sister some time ago, but when I came, my sister went out to play, and I also wanted to go out to play, but my grandfather didn't agree, saying that I was a girl's family, and there was no one around to protect me, so it was not safe, but the maids in the villa couldn't also protect it, and grandpa was just blindly worried." ”
Zi'er's eyes narrowed slightly, and a flash of light crossed her eyes, the baby granddaughter of Ouyang Ping, who is the first in the world in martial arts, didn't even have a guard who could protect her when she went out, is this possible? Although Ouyang Ping and Ouyang Ruru only brought a servant by their side, if Ouyang Ruru had no one around to protect them, who would believe it? I don't know how many people want to be Ouyang Ping's grandson-in-law, there is really no one to protect Ouyang Ruru, but I am afraid that Ouyang Ruru has long been calculated by someone.
But it's good that these Zi'er understand in her heart, Ouyang Ruru said this, she just listened to it, and she thought about it in her heart.
"Senior Ouyang is also worried about you, you are the precious granddaughter of Senior Ouyang, you can't let people suffer the slightest grievance."
"Sister Zi'er, if you weren't with Prince Ding, I would definitely follow you, and when Prince Ding is not available, Sister Zi'er will go out with me for a walk, okay? I came to this Lingyun City, and I haven't been able to get rid of it, but I heard that there are many beautiful places around this Lingyun City, which is worth seeing. ”
Ouyang Ruru looked at Zi'er expectantly, like a little girl who was coquettish to her sister, and when people saw it, they would always be a little unbearable not to agree to her.
Zi'er's expression remained unchanged, the smile on her face softened a little, and she said with a smile: "Ouyang's senior's precious granddaughter, if he wants to take you out, the senior probably won't agree." ”
"My sister laughs at me, as long as my sister agrees, my grandfather will definitely agree, my sister is so powerful, my sister will take me out to have fun, just when the prince is not available, I will definitely not rob the prince of the time to accompany my sister."
Zi'er originally thought that Ouyang Ruru was saying polite words, but now it seems that she really wants to go out with her by herself.
I haven't met her a few times, although she calls her sister, but they really don't know each other, right?
Is it really good that she's matured like this?
"Princess Min'er is a native of the Western Xia Kingdom, she knows more about Lingyun City, and she has a lot of masters around her, if she takes you out to play, she will definitely be able to protect you, Ouyang seniors will definitely be more assured, I only have Bai Mei by my side, if something really happens, I can't explain to Ouyang seniors."
Didn't she also call Princess Min'er her sister? With such a princess of the Western Xia Kingdom with her, who would dare to bully her so unsightly? Why did you give up Princess Min'er such a big Buddha to let yourself accompany her?
Zi'er believes that if Ouyang Ruru invites Princess Min'er to play together, Princess Min'er will definitely agree, just for Ouyang Ping's sake, Princess Min'er will also take care of Ouyang Ruru.
Ouyang Ruru bit the corner of her lip and looked at Zi'er with some grievance, "Sister doesn't like me?" We're just going to just stroll, what's going to happen? And Bai Mei's martial arts are so good, Sister Zi'er, you are also good at martial arts, although my martial arts are not good, but ordinary ruffians and hooligans can also deal with it, how can we have an accident when we go out? I like Sister Zi'er, and a good scenery should be seen with my favorite sisters.
Princess Min'er has a noble status, and with the princess, there are many things that are not easy to do, although Princess Min'er is good to me, but it is always better to be at ease with Sister Zi'er. ”
"This martial arts conference will end in a few days, and I will leave Lingyun City at that time, I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany Sister Ouyang."
So obsessed with wanting her to hang out with her? When did she become so attractive?
Ouyang Ruru bit her lip lightly and looked at Zi'er expectantly, "Sister Zi'er, haven't you had half a day?" I haven't been to anywhere else since I was a child, I've always been with my grandfather in the mountains, even if I go to the town, I can rarely go, I finally came to this Lingyun City, I really seem to go out to see, otherwise after I go back, I can only stay at home, begging grandpa for a few days, before I can go to the town. ”
It sounds pitiful, it's not free. Zi'er's lowered eyes flashed slightly, it was not impossible to want her to accompany her so much, and go out with her.
Ouyang Ping knew that there were too many secrets, since it was difficult to investigate in other places, wasting half a day with Ouyang Ruru, maybe there would be any unexpected gains?
Even if it didn't, it would only be half a day.
As for Ouyang Ruru's insistence on letting herself go out with her so stubbornly, it doesn't matter if she has another purpose. She Qin Zi'er would never be calculated by such a little girl, right?
"Since Sister Ouyang said so, then I will accompany my sister to go out for a walk, but my sister will go back and talk to Ouyang's seniors later, if the seniors don't agree, then I can't help it."
"As long as my sister agrees, grandpa will definitely not refuse, with someone as powerful as my sister, who dares to bully me?"
Ouyang Ruru's face was full of excitement, grabbed Zi'er's hand and said a lot of words, so she hurriedly went back to tell her grandfather, and asked her grandfather to agree.
Knowing that Zi'er was going out with Ouyang Ruru, Beichen Luo didn't say anything, but just sent a few more secret guards to her, not to protect Ouyang Ruru, but just in case, worried that Zi'er would be calculated by Ouyang Ruru.
Ouyang Ping's strength is there, and the people under him must be powerful, if Ouyang Ruru really wants to calculate Zi'er, although Zi'er's ability is not bad, there are more people, and they can rest assured.
Zi'er didn't refuse, there are a lot of people around Beichen Luo, and his martial arts are so high, it is not easy for anyone who wants to hurt her. Except for Ouyang Ping not knowing the depth of his martial arts, which made Zi'er a little guarded, Zi'er felt that no one would be Beichen Luo's opponent.
"Sister Zi'er, the soup in this restaurant is the best, when we first came to Lingyun City, my grandfather brought me to drink, I have never drunk such a delicious soup."
Fengyunlou, I didn't expect Ouyang Ruru to take her here for dinner. Now Fengyun Tower is the most popular restaurant in Lingyun City, and the owner behind the scenes is the Murong family, which is the maiden home of the wife of the second master of Ziyuan Villa.
Shangguan Haoyu and Shangguan Chaoyun's drug use was caused by the second master of Ziyuan Villa, and now his father-in-law's restaurant copied poppies, which made Zi'er not surprised at all.
Because it was related to Ziyuan Mountain Villa, and it was in Lingyun City, this matter Zi'er and Beichen Luo had already been handed over to Shangguan Qingchen for disposal.
Tracing the source of the poppy, Zi'er and Beichenluo also let Shangguan Qingchen intervene, and now Beichenluo's people are focusing on Yanzhou City, the situation on the other side of his fiefdom, and the first thing he needs to do now is to let the poppy be eliminated at the border of Yanzhou City.
He didn't care about Xiruiguo, but the news had already been passed on to the emperor, of course, the emperor would never have thought that this news was passed on to him by his Beichen Luo, otherwise, with the emperor's suspicious and calculating Beichen Luo's style all the time, he would definitely hand over this matter to Beichen Luo.
Such a thankless task, there is no need for Beichen Luo to wade into the troubled waters.
There are a lot of troubles inside Ziyuan Villa, and Zi'er has just learned that the owner of Ziyuan Villa is seriously ill, and now many things are being handled by Beichen Luo.
Many people want to take a bite of the fat of Ziyuan Villa, but they didn't dare before, and they can't, I don't know if the current Ziyuan Villa will be fought for? However, Shangguan Qingchen is not a simple person, if he wants to snatch meat from his mouth, he must also be prepared to be bitten by him.
Now Shangguan Haoyu and Shangguan Chaoyun are both recovering from drugs, and when the two of them get better, Shangguan Qingchen will be much easier, so Zi'er doesn't think that because the owner of Ziyuan Mountain Villa is seriously ill, when the second master tries to fight for power, others will have a chance.
I don't know if this second master has an accomplice?
However, the second master's father-in-law's family dared to blatantly use poppies to harm people in the restaurant, if he didn't have fear, who would give him the courage?
Therefore, Zi'er and Beichen Luo had no doubt that there was someone behind the second master.
All in all, to participate in this martial arts conference, Zi'er feels that there is only one word, chaos!
There's so much going on that every day is fine.
followed Ouyang Ruru into Fengyun Building, Ouyang Ruru quickly ordered mutton soup and a few dishes, and Zi'er only ordered a few dishes that she had eaten last time, but did not add poppies.
"Come, Sister Zi'er, hurry up and try it, this mutton soup is the best to drink while it's hot, I drank two whole bowls last time, and then I asked my grandfather to buy it for me twice, I wanted to send a bowl to my sister to try the night before yesterday, but my sister went out at that time."
Ouyang Ruru gave her mutton soup Zi'er heard Bai Mei say later, but she didn't expect it to be this Fengyunlou, she thought it was Ouyang Ruru who made her stew.
Zi'er glanced at the mutton soup and said with a smile: "I don't like mutton very much, and I have also tasted this soup, there is star anise in it, I can't eat star anise, eating this, my stomach will be very uncomfortable." ”
Although there is not much poppy in this soup, it is okay to drink a little, but Zi'er still doesn't want to drink it.
Ouyang Ruru heard Zi'er say this, and said with some pity: "It's delicious, I can't imagine that Sister Zi'er can't drink it, otherwise, Sister Zi'er will order another soup, just order what you like." I was wrong just now, I should have asked Sister Zi'er to order again. ”
"Didn't I order a few dishes too? It's okay, what I ordered is what I like to eat. Zi'er watched Ouyang Ruru drink the soup, her eyes flashed slightly, Ouyang Ruru likes to drink this soup very much? Drunk it in front of her too? His eyes swept over the few dishes she ordered, two of which were the signature dishes they had ordered last time, and they also had poppies added.
Ouyang Ruru has eaten all these dishes, so Ouyang Ruru doesn't know that there are poppies in the dishes, does this mean that the poppies in this restaurant have nothing to do with Ouyang Ping?
"My sister likes to eat spicy dishes, I can't eat too spicy, I can eat a little, if it's too spicy, my stomach can't stand it, and when I eat with my grandfather, my grandfather doesn't give me spicy food. Since I was a child, I lived in the forest with my grandfather, and the most I ate was game, but those wild meats were only fragrant when I put them in the peppers and fried them, but my grandfather never let people put them in the peppers. I think it's because I eat less chili peppers that my stomach is not used to it, and if I had eaten a lot of chili peppers in the early years, I would be fine now, and I could eat it openly. ”
Ouyang Ruru looked very happy, talking while eating, Zi'er glanced at the dishes she had moved, she had eaten all the dishes she ordered, but she didn't eat much.
"Living in the forest is also quite pure, as the beginning and the sunset rests, such days are very enviable."
Since she mentioned her life with Ouyang Ping, then she will follow her words and talk about it, although with Ouyang Ruru's shrewdness, she will definitely not say what she shouldn't say, but Zi'er also wants to hear how capable she is.
A person who grew up in the mountains and forests since he was a child would definitely not be as shrewd as Ouyang Ruru, and he could hide her shrewdness so well.
Therefore, she just said that she grew up in the mountains and forests, and Zi'er didn't believe it at all.
