Chapter 141: Step by step
It's just that whether it is the simple and unpretentious long sword or the extremely luxurious short knife, it can't be compared with the posture of a woman, it is just an ornament. The woman paced softly, walked up to Nalan, and asked in a sparse and ordinary tone, "What else does the master have to say?"
Nalan was constantly turning his hand in the luminous cup, but suddenly paused for a moment, and then turned it up unhurriedly. Six words popped out of his mouth: "If you don't comply, you will kill them." The woman did not hesitate for a moment, as if this sentence was as natural as eating and sleeping.
just suddenly hid his face and said with a smile: "Master, I'm too worried, I have never missed." Nalan nodded silently, like a dying old Aye, entrusting the child who was about to go away.
I wanted to continue to say something, but I didn't. The woman no longer waited for Nalan's words, straightened up, and was about to push the door open. Nalan suddenly thought of something again, and opened his mouth to stop the woman, "You put on this mask." ”
Out of nowhere, Nalan pulled out a smiley mask and handed it to the woman. The woman did not hesitate in the slightest, and took it and put it on her face. Nalan then said, "Your face can't be revealed. ”
After speaking, he slowly sat back down at the table, pulled out the long sword again, and wiped it up.
The woman didn't know why Master was so talkative and sentimental today. Since getting acquainted, Master has never lost his temper like this, is it just because of the "insider" or because he is about to leave
The woman was in a calm state of mind like a lake, but at some point she was thrown into a small pebble, causing ripples. Wave after wave lapped on the shore of the heart and rushed to the heart. Her mind is pure, so pure that she only has life and death, and has no feelings, but at this time, because of her master's abnormality, she has some doubts, what are feelings
She had doubts, but she immediately put them behind her. If you can't figure it out, you don't have to think about it, this is a sentence I gave to Master when I first met her. It's just that I can't remember what kind of scene this sentence was said in.
When the woman was about to look back, the door of the room, which had been a cover, had been completely closed, like an insurmountable chasm between the two. She didn't know that when she stepped out of this door, she had entered the rivers and lakes, which was very different from the former temple.
Nalan was a ruthless person, and a ruthless person could do something earth-shattering, just as he was going to do now. He's setting up a game, a big game, and he's going to include everyone in the game, but these people don't know it.
Everyone is in the game, but they think they are the ones who play the chess. It's sad, it's ridiculous, it's sad
But Nalan didn't think so, he had already gone deep into the game early on, just looking for a way out of the game. Now, Yun Lan is dead, leaving behind many secrets. And although Ge Lao disappeared for many days, he secretly did many unknown things.
In the inner hall of the imperial city that day, Li Cunqiao was so aggressive, but he did not provoke him to show his bloodthirsty fangs that were enough to tear the throat of his prey. and the head of the Gaofu family, who had been silently watching them, and the forbidden army of the capital behind him, were still wavering.
These light and dark forces are intertwined, and there are also a number of chaotic soldiers eyeing all over the Later Tang Dynasty. Hou Zhou had already begun to conquer the city at this time, and Yi Chu was watching the fire from the other side, waiting for an opportunity to move. And what he has to do is just to block the soldiers and cover the water. It's as simple as that, and some things are just too simple to do. Often, just one sentence requires a thousand efforts, but it cannot be achieved.
Nalan is not a person who is willing to only be in the rivers and lakes, he single-handedly built the Mingyue Tower in order to gain a firm foothold in the Later Tang Dynasty. When he had a foothold, he backhanded and killed Gu Yanxun, the "big brother" who was carrying him, and the "friends".
He can give up everything, but he can't let go of his obsession with power. It is rooted in the bone marrow and has never dried up as the years go by. When he swallowed the Houtang River Lake with a thunderbolt, it was the time to raise his arms and exhale and disturb the Nine Abysses and Seven Kingdoms.
If it weren't for the overall plan as early as 14 years ago, he would never have rebelled against his "big brother", who once cherished his "big brother" so much. But what can I do, the past is like this, a person who is too greedy for the past seems to be petty, and it is difficult to achieve great things.
He, Nalan, the owner of Mingyue Mansion, was born to achieve a great cause, which is an innate fate.
Destiny is determined by heaven, and things are man-made.
Therefore, he sent his most proud disciple, although it was robbed, but what does it matter, it can be done. Besides, she had never let him down, and not this time.
The woman wearing the smiling mask had already appeared behind the crowd of people watching the excitement at this time, looking at the noodle soup scattered all over the ground and stained red with blood. And in the soup, there are balls rolling out.
And the "insider" was also mixed in the crowd at this time, but he didn't know that there was a person who was watching him closely, as if he was looking at a finely carved handicraft, full of interest. The group of people surrounded this "half-section stall", and the soldiers were indifferent no matter how they drove them.
You must know that they are all in the neighborhood here, and they come and go with the shopkeeper of this stall every day and don't look up, and they say hello and chat from time to time. Unexpectedly, today's noodle stall can't be opened, and the shopkeeper has disappeared without a trace.
Just when the crowd was surging and chattering non-stop, a vendor who happened to pass by just now pulled the sleeve of the guy next to him and asked, "But the shopkeeper who sells noodles"
"Who said it wasn't, I don't know why there were so many dishes in that noodle soup, I can't say it, it's all boiled." As he spoke, the man retched again. When someone next to him heard about it, he also came up, and whispered in his voice, "I heard that the shopkeeper has been doing this business here for decades, if you count it like this"
Although he said this with a slight hint of sarcasm and ridicule, he said it unintentionally, and the listener was intentional, and after a long cry, everyone retched in unison. The soldiers of that team really had no choice, so they pulled out their Xueliang long knives with a brush, and shouted loudly, "The official is handling the case, don't you leave quickly, don't you want to take a sip"
As soon as these half-serious and half-playful words came out, the group of neighbors with poor psychological quality dispersed in a hurry, and a small number of neighbors who seemed to be "watching" nail households still gathered but did not disperse, as if they did not see the reason for it, and refused to leave.
At this time, most of the crowd had dispersed, and Gu Xing was also observing the remaining people. Although they seem to be ordinary onlookers, they are not so simple.
Some of them carried vegetable baskets, padd their feet, stretched their necks and looked vigorously at the "half-section stall". Although he was wearing coarse linen clothes, he looked like a copy, but the tiptoe was obviously different from ordinary people, and he looked rough and abnormal, and he seemed to be a master of walking down the three roads.
There is also the old man who is chewing fragrant leaves, squinting and looking kind, and the hands behind his back are full of calluses. Moreover, his attention was not on the round things, but on the group of soldiers with great interest, not knowing what they were thinking.
There is also the personable scholar, gently shaking the folding fan, and his face is as usual. I had to pretend to be afraid, and I wanted to stand out for the deceased, but I was thin and pulled by the little girl next to me, so I was deflated.
The most eye-catching thing was the little girl, combed her ponytail, looking innocent, but Gu Xing saw a little clue from her fingernails that reflected the faint blue light. This is obviously quenched with poison, and if you accidentally touch it, you will either die or be injured.
And by coincidence, these people were brought together just to study an old man who killed people and made soup, in Gu Xing's opinion, it was by no means so simple. And Nalan asked himself to secretly investigate this matter, but it was not just curiosity.
When Gu Xing looked sideways, the woman dressed as an ordinary Jianghu person but wearing a smiling mask attracted his attention. It's not that there is anything special about this woman, it's just that the saber and long sword hanging from the left and right around her waist are too eye-catching, and it's hard not to pay attention.
The woman seemed to notice that Gu Xing was looking at her, and bowed her head slightly as a polite greeting, so she didn't pay attention to it anymore, and continued to look at the case scene of the "half-section stall". The soldiers did not probe, but surrounded the place, as if waiting for something.
Not long after, a woman riding a silver-maned horse came with a whip, and when she turned over and dismounted, Gu Xing saw clearly that the person who came was Gao Chengying, the commander of the forbidden army in the capital. It's just that what makes Gu Xing curious is when Gao Chengying, the commander of the dignified forbidden army and holding the red-armored puppet, will take care of things outside the inner palace.
With this thought, Gu Xing remembered the high diving exhibition that he hadn't seen for a long time, I don't know if she is okay On the other side of his mind, there is also such a person, thinking about Gu Xing, and he has not stopped for a moment.
Gao Chengying turned over and dismounted, and was immediately enveloped by the hot bloody aura, and she didn't even frown, but squatted down and carefully observed the things.
When he got up and asked the soldiers, they couldn't say a single reason. It's just that there is a decades-old noodle stall here, and for some reason this strange thing happened this morning, and the shopkeeper is gone.
When Gao Chengying heard this, his heart sank, and he was about to turn over and get on his horse, when he saw this group of "ordinary" martial arts masters. He smiled and clenched his fists and said, "You are tired, please inform your boss, the things here are not something they can participate in, and they can participate." If you want to intervene horizontally, then listen to it. Just a word of advice, be careful that the wind is strong at night, and the head is blown off. ”
After speaking, he turned over and got on his horse, and glanced at Gu Xing meaningfully before leaving, as if he had something to say, but he never said it. Gu Xing wanted to ask, but Gao Chengying had already turned his horse's head and walked away, leaving a cloud of smoke and dust. The group of "ordinary people" dispersed in a hurry when they heard the words, and they were no different from the group of people just now.
