Chapter Seventy-One. Lu Xiaofeng is a brick.
After Gong Jiu found out that Jade Rakshasa had really removed the secret guards around Jade Tianbao, he felt that he understood this person's attitude towards Jade Tianbao.
Gong Jiu was undoubtedly a smart person, he didn't feel that he deliberately approached Jade Tianbao, and the secret guards that Jade Rakshasa had placed around him would not return to him. Yu Tianbao may not know his "malice", but even if Gong Jiu is very confident in himself, he doesn't believe that he can hide it from Jade Rakshasa.
The reason why the Jade Rakshasa did not move was also to give him a hint - the person of Yu Tianbao was not important to him, at least, not as important as the "only heir". And after that, the Jade Rakshasa simply withdrew those secret guards that Jade Tianbao didn't know, obviously not caring about his life and death.
Gong Jiu instantly felt that he couldn't figure out this man who was in charge of the entire Western Regions. When he can't figure it out, Gong Jiu is best at thinking about it from the beginning.
Gong Jiu carefully pondered Yu Tianbao's whereabouts along the way, eliminated his own variable, combined with his understanding of Yu Tianbao's personality these days, Gong Jiu speculated about what Yu Tianbao would do if he hadn't met him.
Yu Tianbao is a person, he can't do martial arts, he can't plan, but he is very ruthless. However, he was able to kneel in front of Simon Blowing Snow and pray for protection, and he was able to flatter himself carefully along the way, which shows that this person not only spared his life, but also ...... Shameless.
Such a person who cherishes his life and has no ability, if he is a person who has a huge treasure and travels far away to the Central Plains to be hunted and killed, what will he do after he finds that he has lost his last life support? Gong Jiu could come up with the answer after a little thought-he would think of a way to tell the world that the so-called giant treasure was no longer in his hands.
At this time, Gong Jiu no longer had the slightest suspicion that the Jade Rakshasa had another purpose. Take the Pingnan Palace, for example, even though Gong Jiu itself has excellent martial arts, but without the approval of the Taiping King, he would not have been able to get out of the Taiping Palace. Gong Jiu didn't believe that the Jade Rakshasa would be so bad, so he let Yu Tianbao run to the Central Plains with the inheritance token of the Western Demon Sect.
Now there is news of the death of the Jade Rakshasa, but it makes Gong Jiu suspect more and more that this is the Jade Rakshasa playing tricks. After all, the timing of this news was too coincidental, and the moment he received this news, all the secret guards around Yu Tianbao were withdrawn. The one who was able to mobilize the secret guards around the young sect leader of the Western Demon Sect, except for the Jade Rakshasa himself, Gong Jiu didn't think secondly.
In this case, the death of the Jade Rakshasa must be his own suspicion, and Gong Jiu wants to sell one to the Jade Rakshasa place, so it is better to follow his plan.
Therefore, Gong Jiu whispered to Yu Tianbao: "Now that the Jade Sect Master is dead, the Young Sect Master Mingzhe protects his life, it is better to hand over the Rakshasa card." β
Yu Tianbao's face turned pale, and he stared at Gong Jiu nervously, for fear that he would step forward and snatch his brand.
Gong Jiu smiled, the long sword he carried with him that day had been replaced by a folding fan. He shook his folding fan gently, ignoring the midwinter weather that was still snowing outside. He glanced at Yu Tianbao, who was nervous, and said casually: "If Gong Mou has a heart, can the young sect master live that day?" β
Yu Tianbao stiffened, and after a long time, he said in a dumb voice: "The Rakshasa card is a treasure for my Western Demon Sect, and it is related to the inheritance of my sect, how can it be taken lightly with people?" β
Gong Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to Yu Tianbao: "Except for your sect leader and young sect leader, has anyone else seen this card?" β
Yu Tianbao said: "Only four Dharma protectors have seen it from afar. β
"Four Dharma Protectors?" Gong Jiu was slightly surprised and said: "It is rumored that the Western Demon Sect has three protectors, and they are called the three friends of the old cold, could it be that there are other masters in your sect?" β
Yu Tianbao hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "The three people mentioned by the Ninth Prince are the three leaders of the guards beside my father, and they were later made elders by my father because of their merits. There is also a high priest who is in charge of the affairs of the gods and demons of my Western Demon Sect, although the high priest has no reputation in the rivers and lakes, his status in my sect is transcendent, and sometimes my father has to let him have a few points. β
Gong Jiu just nodded when he heard this, and smiled: "I didn't expect that a character like the Jade Sect Master would also believe in gods and demons." β
Yu Tianbao immediately frowned, regardless of whether he was still begging Gong Jiu to save his life, and retorted loudly: "Don't disrespect the high priest, if you don't respect the high priest, you will be cut by a thousand knives, and the poisonous ants will be divided, and after death, you will also go to hell, and you will never recover." β
At this moment, Yu Tianbao looks like a fanatical believer, Gong Jiu has always known that when Jade Rakshasa founded the Western Demon Sect, he did indeed create a set of theories of gods and Buddhas to fool the sect. For people who have always been at the bottom of the sect, this set of gods and demons may be useful, but for people like Gong Jiu, who have learned the way of the emperor since childhood, and even created their own power, this is simply nonsense.
If the Jade Rakshasa had the intention to hand over the Western Demon Sect to the Jade Heavenly Treasure after a hundred years, he would definitely not let the gods and demons carve a shadow in his heart.
Shaking his head in his heart, Gong Jiu smiled apologetically, and quietly brought the topic to his own purpose: "Since no one has carefully seen the Rakshasa card of the Young Sect Master, we might as well make one." β
Yu Tianbao's eyes lit up, but then, he said with some hesitation: "But don't talk about the material, this card is not big enough, but on the front is seventy-two heavenly demons, twenty-six earth demons, and on the reverse there is a thousand-character Sanskrit, where is it so easy to imitate?" β
Gong Jiuhun smiled indifferently: "The young sect master doesn't need to worry, Gong still has some research on carving, and the young sect master just needs to act according to what I say." β
Does Gong Jiu carve? The answer is no. However, for a genius like Gong Jiu, there are only two things in the world, one thing he wants to do, and the other thing he doesn't want to do.
Sure enough, after carving out a few priceless white jade plates, Gong Jiu handed over a jade plate that was enough to fake the real one to Yu Tianbao.
There was a long blood mark on Gong Jiu's fingertips, which was left by the carving knife cut diagonally, and he could almost see the bones of his hand at that time, but it was only an afternoon, and only a shallow red mark was left on such a hideous wound.
Stretching out the tip of his scarlet tongue to lick the trace, Gong Jiuqiang suppressed the excitement that suddenly surged in his heart.
It's like someone likes to drink tea, someone likes to drink, someone likes beautiful women, someone likes to gamble, and Gong Jiu likes to get hurt. Every time he was hurt, an indescribable excitement welled up in his heart. Gong Jiu didn't think there was anything wrong with him, it was just that his hobbies were different from ordinary people.
- He is a dignified ninth son, why should he have the same hobbies as others?
Not noticing the abnormality of Gong Jiu's expression, Yu Tianbao looked at the jade plaque in his hand with great interest, and was amazed while looking at it. Gong Jiu ignored him, and he didn't feel embarrassed, the whole person gestured there without a moment's pause.
Gong Jiu knew that he was nervous, but now that this person was of no value, he naturally wouldn't put any more effort into Yu Tianbao.
Yu Tianbao was indeed nervous. Gong Jiu's carriage was about to enter Shengjing, and according to their plan, he would have to gamble a lot when he entered Shengjing. For gambling money, Yu Tianbao is no stranger. However, this time, he can't win, but he can't blindly lose. He needs to grasp the proportions and output the special "Rakshasa card" made by Gong Jiu.
He had to find a big casino, and then gamble on a game that he had to lose and that had to be noticeable.
In order to calm himself down, Yu Tianbao began to pull Gong Jiu to babble some gossip. Suddenly remembering the meeting between the two of them, Yu Tianbao's eyes became even colder.
Suddenly, he sat up straight, and Yu Tianbao said to Gong Jiu: "Ninth prince, after the matter is completed, Yu will give you one more percent...... No, two percent of the forces of the Western Demon Cult, can you help me do something? β
Gong Jiu lazily leaned on the soft collapse in the carriage, and nodded dispensably. Anyway, now that Yu Tianbao is just daydreaming, he can listen to what he wants to do when he has nothing to do.
Yu Tianbao took this as a tacit acquiescence, and he immediately said with some excitement and a bit of undisguised resentment: "The Ninth Prince knows that the forces of the Western Demon Sect are not involved in the Central Plains, and there are many inconveniences in acting here. β
"Hmm." Gong Jiu covered his face with a folding fan and yawned.
Yu Tianbao didn't notice Gong Jiu's impatience, and continued: "Then can I ask Jiu Gongzi to help me kill Ximen Blowing Snow?" β
Simon blows snow.
This name can also dispel a little bit of Gong Jiu's sleepiness. He changed his posture and leaned on the soft collapse, and said: "On that day, the owner of Ximen Zhuang fought with people at the top of the Forbidden City, how could he kill him with such a demeanor?" β
Although he said this, Gong Jiu's heart was a little unimpressed.
He didn't want to confront Simon Blowing Snow, not that he felt that he couldn't compete with Simon Blowing Snow. But because Ximen Chuixue is a friend of his little aunt and a confidant of the Baiyun City Lord, and he is not willing to hand over with Jun Xuan and Ye Gucheng in a short hand. Second, there was a vague guess in Gong Jiu's heart, which was related to his future plans, and it was closely related to Ximen Blowing Snow.
In any case, Ximen Blowing Snow is a person, and Gong Jiu is reluctant to move.
Yu Tianbao wasn't really stupid, he heard Gong Jiu's words, and he already knew that he was refusing. I couldn't help but feel a little resentful of Gong Jiu in my heart, Yu Tianbao touched the Rakshasa card that he had been hiding close to him, and sat down opposite Gong Jiu.
Although Gong Jiu looked like he was squinting his eyes and pretending to sleep, the change in Yu Tianbao's expression did not escape his eyes, and he sneered in his heart, Gong Jiu did not speakβhe was not used to talking to people who were about to die.
In Shengjing's largest gambling house, Silver Hook Gambling House, Lu Xiaofeng is casually wandering around the gambling game table by table, occasionally making a few small bets and winning hundreds of taels of silver tickets.
He's been here for three days, and every year during the Chinese New Year, he always spends some time hanging out in various casinos. Because it will not be deserted because of the New Year, it will always be so lively.
Lu Xiaofeng likes this kind of excitement, especially during the Chinese New Year. He has many, many friends, but every Chinese New Year's Eve, he should spend it with his family. Hua Manlou naturally invited him to Hua's house for the New Year, but "family" is really xenophobic sometimes.
After the age of seventeen, Lu Xiaofeng's New Year was spent in large and small gambling houses. This year, he came to the capital, because Ouyang Qing sent him a letter early in the morning, saying that he would invite him to eat butter snails.
Not long after Jun Xuan and Xuan, the Xue family also set up a family affair for Xue Bing. According to legend, it is her cousin of her own family, and the other party knows some kung fu - at least better than Xue Bing, she fell in love with Xue Bing at first sight at Xue Yiren's birthday banquet, and then went to Shenzhen Villa to ask for marriage. Because he is the second son in the family, he even proposed to enter the Shenshen Needle Villa.
Xue Bing met Lu Xiaofeng when he was fourteen years old and has always liked him. At the beginning, she was proposed, so she was naturally unwilling. But Old Madam Xue did not refuse, but let her granddaughter get along with that person for some time. I don't know what happened to the two, but two months later, Xue Bing agreed.
On the day of Xue Bing's marriage, Lu Xiaofeng went to give a big gift. He couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart, a little relieved, and a little sour. It's really just a little bit, and after getting drunk, you forget about everything.
Lu Xiaofeng is a prodigal son who has never had a confidante around him, and a good girl should not like a prodigal son like him.
So he agreed to Ouyang Qing's invitation and wandered around Shengjing for a few days.
Lu Xiaofeng, who had just eaten puff pastry and was spending time in the Silver Hook Casino, didn't know that he ...... Targeted by some people again.
