Chapter Seventy-Three: The Scourge of the Wall
"Thank you for your kindness." Wen Xuan gave his hand again, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain in rescuing the head of the Lu family this time, and with the support of the Lu family's Wanguan family wealth, the layout between him and Shen Fu could undoubtedly be carried out faster.
Although Shen Fu was happy in his heart, he was still a little worried about the Yuan soldiers in Gui'an County, and asked uneasily: "I'm afraid that the group of thieves in Gui'an County won't give up easily......"
Referring to the group of Yuan soldiers, Lu Deyuan snorted coldly and said: "Don't worry, the old man has been operating in Jiangzuo for many years, as long as your family arrives on Pingjiang Road, ensure that those thieves and soldiers will no longer dare to act recklessly, but it is difficult for you to show your head for the time being." ”
Hearing that Lu Deyuan was so confident, Shen Fu let go of his hanging heart, after this incident, he didn't think that it was a good thing to have too much fame, and only by secretly accumulating strength incognito could he protect himself in the troubled times.
"Senior Lu must have been very tired from running around all night, this place is safe enough, you can rest here for a night, and other worries will be talked about tomorrow." Wen Xuan saw that Lu Deyuan's expression was a little sleepy, so he pulled Shen Fu to retreat.
Lu Deyuan was already on his mind, and nodded with a smile and satisfaction.
After the two of them left the bedroom, the ten disciples of the Discipline Hall who had gone to inquire about the news had also returned, and under Sheng Wenyu's instructions, they went to several strongholds in the city to find a way to reconvene the older generation of sect members.
"How's it going, what's the catch?"
Sheng Wenyu frowned and nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The situation of the Ming Sect in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is far from the news we received in the mountains. ”
Wen Xuan was not surprised by this, just from Gui'an County, it was enough to see how deep the water in Qinglong Hall was.
"Can the two altars of Pingjiang Road and Hangzhou Road change in the near future?"
"It's all kind of weird."
"Tell me about it."
"I have dealt with the master of the Ditu Altar on Pingjiang Road, and he has always taken the attitude of watching the fire from the other side of the river to the battle between the Jihuo Altar and the Kangjin Altar, and has never participated in it with the Ditu Altar, but he was suddenly killed three days ago."
"Killed?" Wen Xuan also gradually frowned.
"He has been able to operate on Pingjiang Road for many years, and he has his own advantages, even if he is careless, he will not be caught by the Yuan soldiers in his own territory, right? This is a matter of no sense. ”
Wen Xuan couldn't help but think of the confessions of those disciples of the Jihuo Altar, Xu Nong and the elites of the Jihuo Altar were also captured by the Yuan soldiers who suddenly arrived, it seems that neither of them is a coincidence......
Sheng Wenyu saw that Wen Xuan was silent, so he continued: "The altar master has been arrested, and the position of the hall master who commands the overall situation has been vacant for a long time. With that, he sighed helplessly.
Wen Xuan sneered, before he was sitting on the stool in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, two altars had been destroyed, I want to see who is making trouble!
"What about Hangzhou Road? What is the movement of Kang Jintan? ”
Sheng Wenyu said: "There must be a demon when things go wrong, this Kangjin Altar monster is to blame that there is no movement, at the juncture where the Jihuo Altar and the Ditu Altar have been suffering, this Kangjin Altar is inevitably too calm." The scale of Kang Jintan is the largest of the seven sub-altars of Qinglong Hall, and it has always undertaken the important task of transmitting news from Qinglong Hall and the chief rudder, and the news we received in the mountains is wrong, and there is no doubt that it is inseparable from Kang Jintan! ”
"In this way, there are indeed ghosts in this Kangjin altar." Mu Chong and others also saw the problem.
"What's so hard about that? Since we were sent by the chief helmsman to rectify the Qinglong Hall, we can go directly to Hangzhou City to find the altar master of the golden altar and ask for clarification. Tie Niu proposed the simplest and most direct way.
Wen Xuan shook his head and said, "It's definitely not so simple at this time, don't act rashly." ”
Sheng Wenyu sighed, "The Jihuo Altar has not yet been rebuilt, the Ditu Altar is in a hurry, and the situation of Kangjin Altar is also clueless, I knew that I should really bring more people out." ”
"Everyone has been running around overnight, let's rest first, and this matter will be discussed tomorrow." The layout of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has a great impact, and Wen Xuan didn't dare to make a conclusion easily, so he could only suspend the discussion first and let everyone go back to rest.
It wasn't until after dinner that Wen Xuan privately invited Tie Niu to his bedroom.
"What's wrong? What a mystery. Tie Niu was a little curious about why Wen Xuan was looking for him.
"Brother Li, the stakes are very high, you must answer truthfully whatever I ask you!" Wen Xuan is colorful.
It was rare to see Wen Xuan's serious expression, and Tie Niu also knew that things were not simple, so he nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, I, Li Tieniu, never tell lies to my brothers." ”
Wen Xuan asked solemnly: "When Lord Xu Tan handed you the token of the Keihuo Altar, did he tell you?" ”
Tie Niu said suspiciously: "What are you asking for?" ”
"Just think about it, the more carefully the better."
"......What do you tell me," Tie Niu touched his chin and recalled, "He said that the situation in Qinglong Hall is very chaotic, so I must cheer up and not be careless." He also said that it is not necessary to rebuild the fire altar, and it is necessary to put one's own safety first. And then there'......"
Wen Xuan saw that Tie Niu became slumped, frowned and asked, "What's it again?" ”
Tie Niu explained with a wry smile: "Although you saved Uncle Xu twice, you should also know that the radicals other than Hall Master Peng have no good impression of the Wen family, so he will inevitably be a little prejudiced against you......"
Wen Xuan is aware of the festival between the radicals and the Wen family, which can be seen from the fact that Sheng Wenyu sent people to tease and make fun of himself before, plus Xu Nong is a paranoid person, so it is not an exaggeration to have any resistance to the Wen family.
"Mu Chong has already explained to me the grievances between the radicals and the Wen family, so Brother Li said bluntly, there is no need to explain more."
Tie Niu took a deep breath, but still chose to believe Wen Xuan, and replied truthfully: "He also asked me to be wary of you, if you make any apostasy, I must kill you......"
Really! Wen Xuan immediately confirmed the guess in his heart.
The reason why he brought Tie Niu alone was because today he recalled what Xu Nong had said when he visited Xu Nong's injury with his father, and that someone in the Ming Sect had colluded with Yuan Bing!
Although he and his father had suspected him because of Xu Nong's strange injuries before, judging from Xu Nong's various actions that insisted on killing the rebel in person, he should indeed have not betrayed Mingjiao.
Then why didn't he tell the true situation of Qinglong Hall bluntly? Wen Xuan only thought of one possibility, that is, Xu Nong did not tell the truth completely, and even he suspected from the beginning that the Wen family had betrayed the Ming Sect, and part of the half-truths and half-truths were just testing his father!
Now that this matter has been explained clearly, the real culprit who caused the chaos in Qinglong Hall and colluded with the Yuan soldiers was naturally about to come out......
