Chapter 224: Meet the Holy Maiden
Surrounded by the eyes of a group of people, Wei Nanqi and Gu Naluo, who were hooded, came to the mansion where they had been trying to find the truth.
He seemed to feel a chair behind him, and then the two of them were pressed on the shoulders and sat down directly.
Although the actions were reckless and vulgar, they made Wei Nanqi feel a lot calmer.
Through the actions of the people around him, Wei Nanqi was able to confirm that the Holy Maiden of the Red Lotus Sect seemed unwilling to harm them.
At least not yet.
Otherwise, there would be no need to cover his and Gunaro's eyes, and then take them in such trouble to sit down.
With this conclusion, Wei Nanqi's unconscious waist board also hardened a little.
Although I don't know what the Holy Maiden of the Red Lotus Sect has planned, the current situation is quite optimistic.
I don't know how long it took, Wei Nanqi seemed to smell a strong smell of red sandalwood, a bit like the fragrance used for worship in the temple, but there was a hint of a lingering bluegrass smell in this fragrance.
Wei Nanqi felt very strange, because this smell made him a little familiar and a little unfamiliar.
What the hell is strange.
Wei Nanqi tried his best to think about it, but he never remembered it.
"You're from the palace?"
A soft and graceful voice came from behind Wei Nanqi and Gu Naluo, obviously the saintess who wanted to see the two of them.
After Wei Nanqi heard the voice, he subconsciously wanted to turn around to face the Holy Maiden, but he didn't want the disciples who were guarding them around him to leave, and a big hand patted Wei Nanqi's shoulder hard, preventing him from continuing to turn around.
Apparently the saint did not want them to face each other, not even with their heads covered.
"Does the Holy Maiden recognize you?"
Wei Nanqi was pushed there and almost fell, but he was not angry in his heart, but asked softly with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
This question stunned the holy woman for a moment, and replied coldly.
"I am devout and the Lord God, and I can recognize one or two from all the people in the world, why is it strange?"
"Holy Goddess Wei!"
The cold voice of the saint was not over, and the disciples who were guarding Nanqi and the two on the side suddenly praised the saint in their hearts loudly.
Wei Nanqi shook his head slightly, these so-called supernatural powers have become other information in Wei Nanqi's ears, constantly summarizing.
"Why, what do you have any doubts, and I have not ordered anyone to bind your hands, if you want to know who I am, you can just remove the black cloth from your head and look at me."
The saint woman's words were provocative, and she didn't seem to be afraid of Wei Nanqi revealing her identity, with a faint hint of contempt in her smile.
"yes, then I'll pick it!"
Gu Naluo didn't say anything since she came in, after all, she was really inferior to Wei Nanqi when she used her brain, but when she heard the words of the holy woman, she seemed to react, and she had to raise her hand to take off the hood that made her breathe a little difficult.
"Princess!"
Wei Nanqi hurriedly whispered, and hurriedly interrupted the movement of Gu Naluo's hand.
"Why?"
When Gu Naluo heard Wei Nanqi's very serious voice, he immediately put down his hand obediently, turned his head to face the direction he heard Wei Nanqi's voice, and asked suspiciously.
The saintess didn't speak again, as if she was also waiting for Wei Nanqi's answer.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Holy Maiden of the Red Lotus Sect should want to negotiate some deal with us."
"Why do you think so?"
The saint's voice was cold, as if there was some kind of object clasped in her mouth, Wei Nanqi's ears moved slightly, and he suddenly understood in his heart that this was an object of Dongyi, which was used to change the sound, although it could not be completely changed, but it could also confuse other people's hearing.
A thought confirmed a little more in Wei Nanqi's heart.
He must have seen this woman.
"yes, it has nothing to do with me taking off my mask."
Gu Naro also borrowed the words of the saint and asked rhetorically.
Wei Nanqi shook his head, but only then did he think that Gu Naluo should not be able to see it, so he opened his mouth to talk about his analysis.
"Princess, the Holy Maiden brought you and me here so indifferently, life and death are just in your own hands."
The scent of sandalwood and even the slight sound of running water are clearly all part of the movement brought about by the surrounding scenery in this courtyard.
Although Wei Nanqi is not good at skills, he has a good memory of reading for many years and a good hearing.
Seeing that no one interrupted his words, Wei Nanqi took a deep breath and continued:
"Holy Maiden, you find someone to bring the two of us into the courtyard, masked your face, and please sit again, obviously you don't want to kill the two of us, for the people who break in outside, you don't kill, but ask if the two of us are from the palace, you can judge that you should have something to exchange with the two of us, and the condition of this exchange is our lives."
"There is some truth to that, but in this case, shouldn't the life and death of the two of you be in my hands? Why in your own hands. ”
The saint seemed to be interested in Wei Nanqi's analysis, so she asked in a soft voice.
When Wei Nanqi heard this, he still couldn't tell whose voice it was, and he just tried to take a deep breath, also to discern the touch of bluegrass in the depths of the thick sandalwood fragrance.
Can't remember...
"Because, if the two of us directly lift the hijab in a panic, it means that it is an ordinary person with no brains, and if he dies, he will die, there is no pity."
Wei Nanqi said this, paused slightly, and then straightened up and turned his head slightly, and asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that the conditions that the Holy Maiden wants to negotiate with us are not something that ordinary people can handle."
A soft slap sounded.
"Amazing, powerful, worthy of being the Dali Temple appointed by His Majesty today, Lord Wei really has some ability."
The saint's voice at this moment already had a hint of chill, obviously Wei Nanqi's analysis had touched the bottom line in the saint's heart.
"You know me."
Although Wei Nanqi analyzed these, there was one most fatal point that he did not say thoroughly, that is, once he saw the appearance of the saint, no matter the size of the official position or status, today it is a dead word.
"Lord Wei is so powerful, how many people in Kyoto don't know Lord Wei?"
The saint smiled slightly, as if Wei Nanqi was telling a joke, deliberately touching the topic farther.
But the more the saint did this, the more Wei Nanqi would think about the people he knew.
A name began to appear in Wei Nanqi's mind.
Zhao Xiyan.
The former Penglai Pavilion Master, an old Pingyi King who was proficient in assassination and intelligence, it seemed that only this woman was in line with the sum of all kinds of imaginations in Wei Nanqi's current thoughts.
"If you want me to harm Your Majesty's life, the Holy Maiden would still die."
Thinking of this, Wei Nanqi directly pointed out his bottom line, after all, Feng Yewu's life could not be used as a condition.
Even if he took the foreign princess Gu Naluo, he would definitely not agree.
