Chapter 48: Transmission
After dinner, Wang Teng told the others to go back to their rooms to rest first. He followed the servants to find Peng Haokun, the general manager of the four Black Guards.
In a nearby study, a strong warmth welled up on my face. Wang Teng stood at the door to warm up, and was about to announce the news, when he heard an old voice: "Please come in, young master, the old man is too rude." Wang Teng no longer hesitated, lifted the curtains, and prepared to go in. Looking around, he took a few steps back. There are two huge bookshelves on the east and west sides of the room. The shelves are full of books. To the north is a warm couch against the wall. The entire study was covered with a thick fur carpet and several futons. Peng Haokun sat on a soft blanket and smiled at Wang Teng.
Wang Teng lowered the curtain and took off his boots. Then he walked into the study and looked around. Wang Teng found that the books on the shelves were all records of the local government. Xianglong not only has 32 state capitals, but many small surrounding countries also have everything. Looking at Wang Teng's curious expression, the old man said, "Little adult, sit down." Wang Teng came back to his senses, sat on the ground, put his hand on the arch, and looked at the old man in front of him.
Looking at this old man, who was once the most powerful person in the world, second only to Liu Suifeng, Wang Teng said straight to the point: "I think there is something wrong with Shouchun. Hearing this, the old man gently pulled the blanket on his leg and said slowly, "The young master is so smart. There is indeed a problem in Shouchun City. This is an old dereliction of duty. ”
Wang Teng replied: "There is always a gap between what the elders say and what the wise think. The old man shook his head and said, "Only my four departments and the secret department of the Black Guard are in charge of intelligence. The secret departments were mainly responsible for the other provinces, while my four departments were responsible for intelligence and official supervision of the seven fiefdoms in the northeast. Now that Shouchun has a problem, this old man is indeed derelict in his duties. Wang Teng looked at the angry old man and didn't know how to comfort him. The old man continued: "Recently, not only Shouchun, but also many places in the seven northeastern states have also had frequent cases of theft of property and missing persons. Not only young girls, but also young boys have disappeared one after another. Officials everywhere were very anxious, but they did not find any clues. Luckily, the little master has now saved Miss Ya'er. Otherwise, the old man is responsible for all deaths. “
Wang Teng repeatedly said where it was, and the old man then asked: "I can ask the little master, where did you save Miss Ya'er?" Wang Teng didn't expect the old man's mind to turn so quickly. His words became sluggish, and he said slowly, "Under a hill outside the city." The old man frowned. "I didn't expect these thieves to build a stronghold in Shouchun. Wang Teng replied: "There is a group of magicians in that place, and ordinary people can't find it at all. ”。 When the old man heard this, he said in surprise, "Magician?" Wang Teng nodded, and the old man said, "Regardless of the order of killing, these people seem to be doing a lot of work to hire magicians. “
Wang Teng went on to describe how to enter the underground, how to clean up the people inside, and how to save Ariel, but he didn't mention anything about the Red Lotus, and even Wang Teng himself didn't know why he hid it so thoroughly.
After listening to Wang Teng's words, the old man tapped his fingers and said, "I understand, this young master is really young and promising. Wang Teng blushed, and directly changed the topic and said, "Senior, I have something to report to my grandfather." Do you know if there's a transport array here?"
The old man smiled and said, "The old man has already arranged it." Young Master, turn around and take the Zhuozhou Dazhi on your left. When Wang Teng heard this, he turned around, found the book, and reached out to take it down. As a result, he was only able to take out half of it.
"Suddenly" a long voice sounded, and the left and right sides of the bookshelf moved from the middle to the side, leaving a space of about a meter in the middle. Wang Teng was thinking. A 22-inch crystal screen protruded from the back wall and stopped in front of Wang Teng.
Wang Teng turned his head and looked at the old man in surprise. The old man sitting on the soft collapse smiled. "This is the latest transmission array developed by Liu Junshi. It transmits not only sound, but also images. After listening to this explanation, Wang Cangteng still didn't understand that this was not a video call?
Under the guidance of the old man, Wang Teng quickly learned to operate the new transmission array in front of him. The LCD screen is very beautiful in low light. After a while, the screen suddenly lit up, Wang Teng looked at it, and the silver-haired dragon suit and the white Liu Suifeng appeared forever. Wang Teng subconsciously shouted, "Grandpa." Long Gaitian smiled kindly and said, "It's raining, and we know Shouchun well." Are you okay?"
Looking at this familiar face, Wang Teng suddenly felt a little excited. After a brief separation, he developed a deep longing. Looking at the obviously mature faces of his grandchildren, Long Gaitian was happy in his heart. Liu Suifeng looked at these two people and said to Long Gaitian, "What's the hurry? The magic crystal that takes a minute is thousands of gold coins. ”
Long Gaitian blushed and immediately asked in detail. Wang Teng will tell everything that happened in Shouchun, and so will Red Lotus. After listening to Wang Teng's words, Long Gaitian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that this matter is not suitable for you. You just happened to come across it. Keep the rest and go safely to the Imperial City. ”
Wang Teng nodded. He wanted to ask questions about how he was and how his family was, but he didn't open his mouth after all. Long Gaitian looked at Wang Teng's expression and immediately understood. "There's nothing at home," he said. These things are not something you should worry about. Take those two boys with you. I've sent a shadow to protect you, but he'll only show up when you can't handle it. You still have to rely on yourself along the way. ”
Wang Teng nodded and said, "The grandchildren know. Liu Suifeng took over the conversation and said, "Bring a message to my son." Don't think he stole my voice coil. I do not know. When he came back, I had to break his leg. Wang Teng smiled.
After saying a few innocuous words, Long Gaitian told Wang Teng to invite Peng Haokun, who was sitting on the soft sofa, and then asked him to go back to rest.
Wang Teng cautiously carried Peng Haokun to the crystal teleportation array and retreated, only to hear the excited concern of Long Gaitian outside the door: "Fourth, how are you?"
On the way back to the room, Wang Teng didn't think about the outcome of this matter, because he couldn't understand it now. As he walked, he suddenly remembered the red lotus he was hiding, the crying face, and the body of the red lotus that flashed in the pot, by the way, thinking about it, Wang Teng's blood spurted out, and the white mist exhaled was much greater.
Pushing open the door, Wang Teng found that all the people had arrived. Not only Yi Shuihan and Ye Wenhao, but even the ball was lying at Arya's feet. Wang Teng pinched his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
The three of them looked at each other for a while, and asked in unison, "I have something to ask you~!" Ye Wenhao and Yi Shuihan's tones were confused, while Ya'er's tone was slightly jealous of Yi Shuihan.
Wang Teng smiled fakely, walked up to Ya'er and sat down, ignored the question, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.
