Chapter 1 (II) The Iron Triangle That Is No Longer Solid
Ji Kefeng's sudden departure did not make the other people present feel uncomfortable and unhappy, after all, they all knew that in Shangdu, Ji Kefeng's identity was no longer the same, and in order to behave differently, he had to act like a controller to show others. This is the same reason as those who are officials, who pay lip service to the people, but they can't always put a smile on their faces in front of the people, and they always have to keep a certain distance from others.
The remaining three people in the room were silent, each with their own agenda.
Zhu Weidong was hollowed out, he lost his army, leaving only a small number of people to protect him, and even more lost the power of the Gu hunting ground, because he couldn't leave this underground fortress, unless he had time to get a vaccine like Tang Shuxing, otherwise it would be a death to go out.
Zheng Guoyuan's death hit him quite hard. Like Zheng Guoyuan, he is a descendant of exiles, and he knows what it means to "go home". He thought about leaving here and returning to his motherland, but that was impossible, in the past, the motherland could not accept them, and now he can't leave if he wants to.
What to do? Let's go around! Between Tang Shuxing, Gu Huaiyi, Ji Kefeng and monks, first protect themselves, wait for the opportunity to rise, in short, you can't sit still.
Tang Shuxing only came back a day ago, and he took the risk to contact Zhan Tianya and personally handed over part of Zheng Guoyuan's ashes to the other party on the border. Zhan Tianya did not scatter the ashes on the ground, but promised to find a place with better feng shui to bury, although he was a drug lord, but when he died, he was just an old man who longed to return to the motherland.
Seeing Zhan Tianya again, Tang Shuxing found that Zhan Tianya had lost a lot of weight. The words also became very few, just to let Tang Shuxing pay attention to the information about the Yaksha King, and he was also sending people around to look for it, because Wei Xuanyu, who was in Shangdu, might be their last hope.
As for Gu Huaiyi...... The first thing this person who has already grasped the power of the Zheng family is to leave a small part of the army to continue to defend the royal family, and the rest of the people are all withdrawn to the Golden Triangle and cannot be held. On the surface, he wanted to obey Shangdu's control, but in fact, he was just bringing people back to confront Shangdu in the name of protection. Surround the Gu Hunting Ground.
Besides. Gu Huaiyi still returned the group of people and weapons that originally belonged to Lu Baosen under the name of Tian Longting in the early years, and returned a sum of money to the other party. Although Lin Suotu and Tian Longting both thought that he was letting the tiger return to the mountain and planting a strong rival in his backyard, Gu Huaiyi still went his own way. Just say "it's someone else's." Eventually, it must be returned to others. It's your own, and if others want to rob it, they can't take it away."
Meantime. Gu Huaiyi also asked Tian Longting to sort out the information in his hands for many years, but Tian Longting claimed that before that, Zheng Guoyuan had told him to destroy everything, even the stored hard disks were all destroyed, and they were thrown into the molten steel furnace to melt into slag.
Gu Huaiyi understood that Zheng Guoyuan didn't want him to take the old path, so he simply cut off his path and let him find a way to manage his own future, but this made Gu Huaiyi suffer. It is true that he does not want to engage in drug trafficking, but the intelligence collected by the Zheng family over the years may be of great help to the current matter.
However, Gu Huaiyi learned from Tian Longting that Zheng Guoyuan did take in Tang Dingfeng and Ji Minxing back then. Although the time is only two years, the two have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and led Zheng Guoyuan's troops to repel the government troops besieging them many times, and were regarded as guests by Zheng Guoyuan, but the two insisted on not revealing their identities in front of too many people, and they also used pseudonyms on weekdays.
As for why did the two of them leave later? And where did it go? Tian Longting didn't know what to do, he only knew that one day, the two people who had to participate in the Zheng family conference disappeared, but Zheng Guoyuan didn't give anyone an explanation, nor did he show any abnormality, so everyone knew that Lu Dao couldn't talk too much about this matter, so it was just as if these two people had never appeared.
Gu Huaiyi didn't tell Tang Shuxing and Ji Kefeng about the matter, he didn't think it was time yet. Maybe it was intuition, Gu Huaiyi always felt that the core of the matter was still on Tang Dingfeng and Ji Minxing.
"It's time for us to go back, too." Tang Shuxing got up and walked out at this time, and when he walked to the door, he accidentally bumped into Ami, who was there with a dull gaze, and He Chenxue beside him.
Tang Shuxing didn't say anything, he just smiled, turned around and walked in the direction of Shangdu, and Gu Huaiyi, who was close behind, looked at Ami and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Huh? Didn't Master Ji take you into Shangdu? ”
After speaking, Gu Huaiyi pretended to be speechless, coughed and turned around and left quickly with Tang Shuxing, in fact, this sentence was deliberately said by him, he knew very well that Ji Kefeng had the right to take Ami in, and now it would not hurt her to bring Ami in, after all, the Gu hunting ground was also full of that kind of poisonous gas.
The two left, Zhu Weidong walked out, looked at the direction they left, turned his head to look at Ami and He Chenxue, and sighed: "Don't stand here, just wait here every day when you have nothing to do, and want to become a Wangfu stone?" ”
"It has nothing to do with me." He Chenxue responded coldly, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be trapped here, and you are also suffering now, which is called harming others and not benefiting yourself." ”
Zhu Weidong didn't bother to argue with the little girl in his eyes, just shook his head and walked away.
"Let's go." He Chenxue dragged Ami to leave, but Ami was still standing there stupidly.
Ami said in a low voice: "Is there a ...... Ke Feng Anyone else? Like Xing Er, married another woman in Shangdu? Afraid that I will go in and know the way? ”
"No, it won't." He Chenxue shook his head and comforted, "Ji Ye is a person who has been from the beginning to the end, different from the second sentence, you also know the Tao along the way, among the three people, the most righteous and honest person is Ji Ye." The second sentence is a ...... It's a ...... Anyway, he is not an honest man, Gu Huaiyi is a madman, you found a good man, believe him. ”
Ami looked at He Chenxue, who had a serious face, nodded slightly, turned around and followed her back.
Ami is more like a woman now than the bounty hunter she was a few months ago.
……
In the Shangdu Adaptation Zone, in the Controller's Office, Ji Kefeng waited alone, and outside the door was Gou Yingpeng, the confidant of the secret envoy placed beside him.
Originally, Yu Xin didn't have this office, because Yu Xin was more careful and liked to mix in the crowd, but Ji Kefeng was different, he thought that he was the highest governor here, so he should sit here every day and listen to the report, and collect some information that should be known in the adaptation area, otherwise it will give people a feeling that the group has no leader, and it is inconvenient to manage.
Now Ji Kefeng is still thinking about whether he should tell the secret envoy about the basalt, but the secret envoy should know the location of the basalt in the Dao, after all, the creator knows everything.
Will the secret envoy send himself alone to find it? If so, can you do it yourself? Ji Kefeng was very uneasy in his heart, at this point, he knew very well that he was not as good as Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi, in the past many years, these two people were fighting alone, and they had their own rules of survival on the dark side of the world. Without them, the chances of finding basalt yourself and bringing it back are too low.
Besides, the secret that King Sha Jiang told him couldn't solve it alone.
"Secret Envoy!" Gou Yingpeng's voice outside the door dragged Ji Kefeng back from the thoughts in his mind, and he immediately got up.
Soon, the secret envoy opened the door and came in, carrying an incubator in his hand, and after entering the office, he didn't talk nonsense, just pointed to the time vaccine in the incubator and said: "One and a half months' amount is enough for the three of you to find the basalt, but the sooner the better, because after the basalt is recovered, you have to go to the next location immediately and bring back the most white tiger's eye." ”
"When are you leaving?" Ji Kefeng doesn't talk nonsense.
"If you can go now, you can go now." The secret envoy said, "After you go out, there is Gu Huaiyi, who is already in power, he should be able to take you to Japan safely, remember, a month and a half, only this little time, I am waiting for your good news." ”
After the secret envoy finished the order, he just told Ji Kefeng to pack up and go to Xia Jiezhu's office to gather, and then turned around and left.
Ji Kefeng sat down, touched a cigar, pinched it in his hand and played with it for a while, then got up and changed his clothes and walked towards Xia Jiezhu's office.
Entering the office, Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi, who had already been fully equipped, were already waiting there, and Xia Jiezhu was also sitting at the desk, her expression was exactly the same as when they first met - what happened to the Chiang Rai Mansion outpost made Xia Jiezhu even more determined that Shangdu was better than the outside world, and that she must always be loyal to Shangdu Sanjie.
Ji Kefeng entered the house, and before he could stand still, Xia Jie said without raising his head: "The destination you are going to this time is Japan, it should be said that the final destination is Japan, whether you want to travel around the world or do something else, in short, you must come back with the holy relics within the specified time." ”
Saying that, Xia Jiezhu raised her head, glanced at Tang Shuxing, who was looking down at the Long Lin Blade, and then looked at Ji Kefeng and said: "The location of the basalt is on an island called Hashima in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, the relevant information is here, memorize it as soon as possible, and then leave." ”
Hashima, Japan? Tang Shuxing still didn't raise his head when he heard this, but just said "um", while Gu Huaiyi deliberately looked at Ji Kefeng, and the meaning was very clear: Even if you don't tell us, we will still know about Lu Dao sooner or later, so you wasted the opportunity to see King Sha Jiang in vain.
Ji Kefeng listened expressionlessly, then took Xia Jiezhu's information, pretended to look at it twice, and handed it to Gu Huaiyi, but he was still worried about the secret told by King Sha Jiang, did the secret envoy know the secret? If you know the way, why don't you tell yourself how to deal with it? Or is the secret of King Sha Jiang just a rumor or a lie?
"Hashima is the abandoned warship island?" Gu Huaiyi glanced at the information twice and said, and handed it to Tang Shuxing, "It's troublesome." ”
"For what?" Tang Shuxing looked at the information, the information was written with the location and coordinates of the island, and the relevant history, and it was also clearly written that it was now an uninhabited island, how could it be troublesome? Isn't that just right?
"Hashima, also known as Warship Island, and later called Runaway Island......" Gu Huaiyi leaned back on the sofa and said, "I used to want to see it, because it is rumored that there are monsters on that island, and it is not one or two, it is simply a monster's lair......"
Ji Kefeng looked at Gu Huaiyi at this time, and his heart was shocked, wondering if Gu Huaiyi deliberately made up a story to test himself? Because the secret that King Shajiang said is not this, right? (To be continued......)
