Chapter 158: Wang Xibai
Late at night, dark clouds cover the moon.
A tall and thin figure pushed open the back door of Wang's courtyard and looked left and right before leading a half-grown child out.
"Young master, don't we need to bring more people?" Sanwu's slightly shrill voice sounded.
"No need, in this Nanli tribe, there are guardian elders in charge, and no one dares to mess around. Wang Gu waved his hand.
The two avoided the occasional patrol of the Nanli Eagle Guard, and were silent all the way.
Soon, they came to a mixed settlement to the west of the Nanli tribe and stopped in front of a low house.
"Venerable, Wang Gu asks to see. He whispered.
There was silence in the door for a moment, and a faint man's voice came out: "Please come in." β
The two entered the house, and the light of the candle flame shone in their faces, illuminating the quiet, simple room.
A slender young man in white sat in front of the window, holding a black chess piece in his hand, facing the chessboard, looking for the location of the fallen piece.
Although he was dressed in white, the light of the candle flame fell on him, as if he had been absorbed and swallowed, giving birth to a dark feeling.
He held his chess and pondered, and was silent.
"Venerable White Tiger, when you see the young master of my family, don't you hurry up and salute!" Sanwu took a step forward, his face unhappy.
He is a lineage of the Green Dragon Venerable, he has always been strong in Yanbi Mountain, and he is not afraid of this newly promoted White Tiger Venerable.
"It turned out that Young Master Gu had arrived!" Venerable White Tiger raised his head and suddenly realized, "Xibai is obsessed with chess, and his tour is undecided, please forgive the young master." β
As he spoke, he stood up and saluted, and invited Wang Gu to sit down on the upper seat.
"Xibai doesn't have to be polite. Wang Gu was young and old, his face was silent, and he sat on the opposite side of the chessboard.
I saw the black and white dragons entangled on the chess table. The white dragon runs through the sky and manipulates the overall situation. The black dragon flinched and showed a declining trend.
Wang Xibai sat back in his position, played with the black chess pieces, raised his head and smiled: "Young master, you see that this chessboard is glued, where should I go?"
Wang Gu was close at this time, and only then did he see his face clearly, and he couldn't help but praise it in his heart.
What a handsome young man!
This White Tiger Venerable Wang Xibai has bright eyes, white skin and tender lips, slender cheeks, and a slender figure, which can be called a rare beautiful man.
However, Wang Gu couldn't admire, his gaze fell on the chessboard.
This black and white dragon is just like the current situation of the Wang family.
The head of the family and the great elder were powerful and aggressive, and Wang Zhen was seriously injured and sat to death, and only himself and his remaining subordinates struggled to support him.
As for the black chess piece in Wang Xibai's hand...... His gaze froze.
"The White Tiger Venerable is taken from the name of the ancestor Wang Yin. Wang Gu pondered and said, "The ancestors followed Xian Hao Xingzun to fight in the wilderness, and they did not taste defeat. β
When he said this, he saw that Wang Xibai's eyes brightened slightly.
"Xibai now inherits the glory of his ancestors, and he will not do such an easy thing as devouring the black dragon. Wang Gu smiled slightly, "If the white dragon is slaughtered, the power of the Venerable will be revealed." β
His intention was naturally to let Wang Xibai continue to guard the duty of the black son, help the black dragon fall off, and slaughter the white dragon, instead of rebelling at this critical moment.
Although Wang Gu was young, he imitated his father's every move since he was a child, trying to become an adult in charge of the Wang family as soon as possible.
When he fought with Xiao Nan, Tie Zhu and others, his words and methods were still very naΓ―ve, but now after his father's great change, the whole person seems to have changed, far surpassing children of the same age.
If Xiao Nan was born to know, with the memory of his previous life, he showed a good mind.
Then Wang Gu is really talented and has a good heart, and under the cultivation and tempering of the day after tomorrow, he has grown rapidly.
Wang Xibai's heart was bright, he gently pinched the black chess piece, and landed firmly in the black dragon's battleground, stuck in the throat of the white dragon.
"The young master is very right. He dropped the chess piece and said to Wang Gu with a straight face, "White Tiger Venerable Wang Xibai pays a visit to the young master!"
Sanwu's hand holding the knife slowly relaxed, which was Wang Xibai's expression of allegiance.
Wang Gu smiled with satisfaction: "I don't know how to play chess, so I talk nonsense casually, and the Venerable Sect laughs." β
"The secret treasure of Donglong Lake is about to be opened, I don't know if the young master has any arrangements?" asked Wang Xibai with a handsome smile.
......
South away from the night market, auction house teahouse.
In the hall, there are guests sitting in twos and threes, drinking tea and chatting.
In the yellow-lettered private room on the second floor, a man in a black robe and hood sat quietly with his eyes closed. There were three cups of Biluo tea on the tea table, and there was a trace of smoke.
After a while, a woman in black gently pushed open the door and sat unceremoniously across the tea table.
The delicate figure, with short hair and low eyebrows, and Qiong's nose and red lips, looks particularly beautiful against the backdrop of tea smoke.
"Lark girl, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Xiao Nan opened his eyes and said slowly.
"When a girl goes out, she always has to dress up, what's the matter?
The lark grabbed the melons and fruits on the table and threw them into his mouth.
She wasn't covered or disguised, as if that was what she was.
Even, she always uses her real name "Skylark", and she is not afraid of revealing the identity or whereabouts of her killer.
There are probably few killers in the Night Pavilion who are as arrogant, straightforward and violent as her.
The girl laughed, and it was a privilege to be able to meet the lark girl in the next three lives. β
Xiao Nan shook his head and smiled bitterly, washed a cup for her, and poured new tea.
The lark glanced at him disapprovingly, took a sip of tea, and said, "But this girl heard that you are from Tianyu Pavilion, and you still want to go to the gambling house to mess around?"
Xiao Nan was shocked, where did all these rumors come from?
It seems that although the Night Pavilion has no branch in the Nanli tribe, it has its own set of intelligence sources.
"Don't hide it from the lark girl, Tianyu Pavilion is a place for entrusted transactions, just like this auction house, anyone can go. β
He suppressed the surprise in his heart, took a sip of tea, and said, "As for this gambling house, it is the place where the most information about the tribe in the south is located, and it is just to facilitate walking in this night market. β
The lark took out a makeup mirror from his chest, took two faces, repaired them slightly, pouted his nose and asked, "Say, who are you going to kill this time?"
Sure enough, very professional.
Xiao Nan raised his eyes and smiled: "Miss Skylark, this invitation is not to kill people, but to ask for something." β
"Tell me something!" the lark raised an eyebrow.
There is a play, Xiao Nan is secretly happy.
"Skylark girl, since the last time I saw the demeanor of the twelve gold medals in the Dark Night Pavilion, I admire it very much. Dare I ask, can I join the Night Pavilion?"
After he finished speaking, he respectfully saluted the lark.
"You, you want to join the Night Pavilion?" the lark looked surprised.
She really couldn't understand that he had left the leader of the Wang Clan's Quartet Secret Guard to run to the Dark Night Pavilion.
This is...... Abandon the darkness and turn to the light?
"Yes, I beg the girl to lead the way. Xiao Nan put his hands on his knees and looked at each other with bright eyes.
"If you want me to be a guide, you can do that. The lark suddenly smiled, and there was a hint of novelty, amusement and playfulness in his smile.
"Beauty fee, silver, ten thousand taels. β
