Chapter 144: Turning Danger into Safety

The woman wearing the smiling mask did not speak, but bowed forward with her palms together, and did not withdraw her hand until Gao Chengying and the team of red armor disappeared outside the West City Gate. On the side, he was impatient to wake up and wanted to open his mouth to say something, but Gao Chengying was really "in a hurry", but he didn't have time to speak.

In Gu Xing's view, the so-called "overstepping the line" is just an excuse for "things are man-made". If it weren't for the murderous woman in front of her who had an official position, Gao Chengying would never be so cautious, and the scene that was already under control would not be handed over

But it is this layer of "skin" that makes many actions need to be deliberate, but it does not have the kind of chic and uninhibited and casual behavior of the Jianghu people. The temple, after all, is the "spring and white snow" high above, and the rivers and lakes are always such down-to-earth "lower riba people".

There is no common appreciation of elegance and vulgarity, it is just the words of those vassal and elegant literati who fool the world. If now, the Heavenly Prison Division's Lord Wardensis slashed herself with a knife, I'm afraid no one will dare to punish her for her crimes.

But if it is changed to the rivers and lakes, it will inevitably be a bloody and bloody battle. Who doesn't have a few brothers and friends who have made friends with each other, and who hasn't relied on the sect backer

But in front of the temple, it's all a fart.

Nothing is sad, and there is no fairness in human life. If there is, then it can only be spoken with strength. But in the face of absolute power, the strength seems so weak.

Just like Gu Xing now, he is weak and helpless. Behind him was the most mysterious and powerful Mingyue Tower in the Later Tang Dynasty, but he couldn't raise his head as crushed in front of the Heavenly Prison Division. And his fourth-order high-grade strength, the other party is unfathomable.

That kneeling has nothing to do with dignity, just to live. If you want to survive here, where can you take care of these "names before and after"

The woman wearing the smiling mask was already clasping her hands at this time, looking at Gu Xing in a daze, without saying a word. Gu Xing coldly caught a glimpse of the "evil star" looking at him, and there was an instinctive spasm of facial muscles, and the pair of straw sandals that had been worn out because of the long-distance run were also "helplessly" exposed three toes at this time, curled up helplessly and repeatedly.

The two were so deadlocked on the spot, and no one wanted to have any further "impulse". In front of Gu Xing, there was an abyss, and in front of the woman was an ant that could be destroyed at will.

At this time, the group of soldiers who ran to move the rescue soldiers ran back in a panic. Seeing Gu Xing still standing there intact, they were all dumbfounded. You know, when they fled, the woman's short knife was already a few inches out of its sheath, and it had been about half an hour, why hadn't there been blood spattered three feet

One of the soldiers shouted, "Noshiji-sama, this is the person, she killed our chief indiscriminately, and asked your lord to call the shots for us." ”

Behind the group of soldiers, there was a man holding a whisk, wearing a crown of hair, and a light crimson official uniform, with silver lines. And what hung around his waist was the unique silverfish bag of the court.

When this person stepped forward from behind the soldiers, Gu Xing could see that this person was about eight feet tall, and in addition to the dust that did not leave his hand, there was also a jade flute diagonally inserted on his waist. It's just that this person is also wearing a mask on his face.

Different from the smiling mask woman, this person's mask is extremely elaborate, with a black silk cloth base, and a white-fronted tiger with a silver thread is outlined, and the tiger's mouth is the man's left eye.

But this mask only covers the upper half of the face, and the lower half of the face clearly has an imperceptible smile. These lips are also too cold, slightly purple, against the person's somewhat sallow skin, which is particularly eye-catching.

The woman wearing the smiling mask didn't care, just clasped her hands around and looked indifferent.

When the masked Heavenly Hell Priest saw the woman, Gu Xing clearly noticed that the corners of the person's mouth twitched. It's just that this subtle movement is too subtle to be noticed.

Master Nadian dusted off the dust, saluted with a forked hand, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know that Deputy Secretary Ling is also here, and I am abrupt." Gu Xing sniffed out a trace of disgrace from this salty and non-lighty "greeting".

But this person is obviously a step lower than the woman with a smiley face and a mask, otherwise he would not pretend to be submissive like this. But it can be seen that this person is not convinced, if he can climb the relationship at this time, then he can contain the "evil star".

Gu Xing's heart moved, and immediately trotted to the person who came, clasped his fists and said loudly, "Down is the Lone Star of the Golden Mouse of Mingyue Tower, who is here to investigate the tragedy of the half-section stall, if there is any offense, please also invite the adult Haihan." ”

Unexpectedly, this person turned a deaf ear to Gu Xing's words, and just stared at the woman wearing a smiling mask, waiting for her answer.

The woman saw Gu Xing's hot face on her cold buttocks, and she didn't feel a little funny. It's just that the mask covers the expression, and it can't be seen. But the woman then said, "This lord has a noble status, how can you be a little mouse who can climb high, right, Lord Li." ”

"This person's surname is Li" Gu Xing muttered quietly, shocked in his heart. Although the Tang Dynasty has died, the world is in turmoil. After that, Tang still followed the Tang law, and the surname of the lord of the country was also very taboo, ordinary people couldn't even say it, not to mention that the person with the surname Li was not the descendant of Li Tang

Li Diansi, who was holding a whisk and wearing a white-fronted tiger mask, pursed his lips, but he was not angry. It's just that he still said in that plain but deep voice, "Deputy Secretary Ling said with a smile, I'm just a side courtier, how dare I compare with the Later Tang Li clan." It's just that since I ran into it, I still have to make things clear. ”

The woman who was called Deputy Secretary Ling looked like she was listening. Gu Xing saw that this woman was as old as himself, but she was already in a high position, and there was such a city, and the Tang Dynasty was eclectic in employing people and talents.

Li Diansi stepped forward, and then crossed his hand, and handled the dignity and humility very properly, although he didn't like this person to be born out of thin air to take the position of his deputy secretary, but he still endured it so far, and did not show excessive dissatisfaction.

But anyone can see that this Li Diansi may be more suitable for the position of deputy director of the Heavenly Hell Division than this Deputy Secretary Ling.

It's just that on the surface, I don't know how many conspiracies and calculations there are behind the scenes. Gu Xing didn't know anything about the grievances between the two in front of him, he only knew that if he couldn't hold on to this Li Diansi, he might not live to noon.

Li Diansi withdrew his hand with a proud look, "Deputy Secretary Ling, listen well." Before leaving, Liu Sizuo instructed me to assist you with all my heart, but I didn't let you disregard the law and discipline so much. Besides, there are friends from Mingyue Lou present at this time, you are so perverse, don't you ignore the face of the Heavenly Prison Division"

Gu Xing sighed secretly in his heart, "What a sentence of ignoring the law and discipline, if it weren't for the fact that I was just an outsider from Mingyue Tower, I wouldn't have to applaud Li Diansi's words earnestly." ”

Every word is heart-wrenching.

But Deputy Secretary Na Ling was still indifferent, and just left this sentence, "Li Diansi, as a minister, should look like a minister." I don't want to pursue this matter, but if you dare to do it again, I will not forgive you. ”

That Li Diansi was so angry that his lips turned white at this time, and the dust in his hands trembled slightly. The roots of the whiskers on the dust exploded, and it seemed that they had reached the limit of forbearance. Gu Xing never expected that this Deputy Secretary Ling would hold his own identity and oppose the army.

This sentence of "determined to be unforgiving" almost cut off all the back roads of Li Diansi, the two were officials in the same dynasty, and they belonged to the same sect, but at this time they had to fight in the same room, which inevitably made outsiders frightened.

Gu Xing only said that this Deputy Director Ling was decisive in killing, how could he expect to be so sharp-toothed. is so fierce at such an age, if you wait for a few years, I am afraid that you will be able to become famous in the world, and everyone knows it.

How could Gu Xing have expected that an unintentional proverb in his heart could be said in one sentence, that Deputy Director Ling, after many years, can be said to be alone in the world, which is terrifying.

Without waiting for Li Diansi to continue to speak, Deputy Secretary Ling raised his hand and said indifferently, "Then please ask Li Diansi to go back and do your part, and I won't bother you about the small things here." As for this friend of Mingyuelou, I still have something to ask him, so I won't give it away. ”

When Gu Xing heard this, his head exploded like a bell again. And Li Diansi, who was light and breezy when he came, was so angry that he smoked at this time, although he covered half of his face, he couldn't hide his angry face, turned around and brushed his sleeves away, completely missing the fairy wind bones, and also damaged the luck of the official uniform.

When Deputy Director Ling focused his attention on Gu Xing again, Gu Xing slowly turned from initial hope to despair, and his expression was full of confusion, which made people feel distressed and funny.

It's just that there is a person hiding in the shadows, silently watching everything outside the noodle stall. This person was dressed in plain clothes, covering his face and not seeing clearly, it was the Hades Venerable who had not been seen for many days. It's just that he got the news from somewhere and knew that Gu Xing would return to the capital today.

Maybe it was because he had been at Bai Ya's place, and he happened to meet the two "fallen people" who came to defect, so he came to take a look. Unexpectedly, there is also a tricky "thorn head" here. It's just that she is very familiar with this woman, but she is not in a hurry to break it.

He wanted to see how this Gu kid would turn this dead end into a life game

Only when people are on the verge of despair can they burst out to their maximum potential. And he himself is exactly like this, otherwise how could he have lived to this day and the same is true of that woman, otherwise how could he seize such a creation in the Bright Moon Tower, beside Nalan.

Without waiting for Gu Xing to speak, Deputy Director Ling grabbed Bai and said, "Under the formal acquaintance, my surname is Ling, and Shuangshui is out of Poria." My name is Lingling, there is no root to fall into the nine abysses, and all of them do not return to the tomb. I'll just say this time, remember biqux"

Gu Xing nodded indifferently, he understood at this time that if he remembered it, he would be able to gain a glimmer of life, so he replied word by word, "Ling Lingling"

Deputy Ling, who was wearing a smiley mask, suddenly said softly, "Just call me Lingling." By the way, if you hear that whisper to you again, when I'm going to kill someone, you'd better stay away, or you'll be the next to die. ”

Such a threat was said in such a gentle voice, which made Gu Xing shudder. Silently wrote it in his heart, "Don't talk about Linglingxiang." ”

Ling Ling suddenly stepped forward, pressed the handle of the short knife against Gu Xing's chest, and whispered, "Don't talk about leaking your mouth." After saying that, he hid his face and chuckled.

Gu Xing hurriedly shook his head, and suddenly nodded heavily. The woman restrained her smile and said, "From now on, you will follow me to investigate this strange case together."
