Chapter 280: Zhao Xiyan is captured
Zhao Xiyan endured the pain in his body and slowly got up.
After Wang Jia gestured to Yang Guang on the side, a chair was placed behind Zhao Xiyan.
Zhao Xiyan saluted shallowly, and looked at Yang Guang on the side with warm eyes, still revealing a trace of pitiful cowardice.
"Thank you, little master."
After separating from the wolf's head, Zhao Xiyan retracted Penglai Pavilion and quietly hid it.
After the Langya City Incident, Penglai Pavilion's vitality was greatly damaged, and now it is not even as good as the second- and third-rate gangs in the rivers and lakes.
After a period of recuperation, the Red Lotus Sect in Kyoto broke into Zhao Xiyan's sight.
Secretly, Zhao Xiyan also thought of sending someone to infiltrate the Red Lotus Sect to find out who was behind it.
However, the Red Lotus Sect is a group of poor and lowly people with incomparable martial arts, and those who have some skills in Penglai Pavilion can't escape Yang Guang's detection.
After a period of time, the masters of Penglai Pavilion's secret investigation died one after another, which also made Zhao Xiyan feel even more strange about it.
After all, from the rumors and the old ministry of King Kyoto Pingyi, I know that the Red Lotus Sect is just a group of refugees who don't know martial arts, and there are no masters at all, and there are even rumors that the holy woman is just a charlatan who takes advantage of the situation.
In order to find out what happened, Zhao Xiyan, who had just entered the realm of the grandmaster, decided to lurk in Kyoto himself and investigate.
It's just that not long after arriving in Kyoto, Zhao Xiyan discovered that King Pingyi's old ministry had already been bought, and his whereabouts had also been discovered.
At this time, Yang Guang appeared, although Zhao Xiyan also had a grandmaster cultivation, but after all, he had just broken through the realm, and Zhao Xiyan, who was born as an assassin, fought with Yang Guang when he had no way to play to his advantage, but he was directly seriously injured by Yang Guang in a moment.
When he woke up again, Wang Jia had already appeared in front of him.
"After my father died, Penglai Pavilion disappeared, originally I thought that the Lord of Zhao Pavilion would not recognize my identity as a girl."
Wang Jia smiled coquettishly, and the coldness between her eyebrows was infected by the light pick at the corner of her mouth.
Zhao Xiyan looked at Wang Jia, who was a little unfathomable in front of him, and the cold feeling that he had faced in the face of King Pingyi hit again, and hurriedly lowered his head and replied softly.
"The slave and maid don't dare, the prince's grace of not killing back then has already doomed the slave's life to be the prince's, and now that the prince is not there, the little master is the master of the slave."
Wang Jia put away her smile and asked with an indifferent expression.
"Why did you sneak into Kyoto to investigate the Red Lotus Sect this time?"
Those officials who betrayed Zhao Xiyan had already been co-opted by Wang Jia, and Yang Guang's methods and Chen Pingwu's identity as the prince of the world had already been held in the palm of Wang Jia's hands.
After Zhao Xiyan found those people, Wang Jia also learned that Zhao Xiyan came to Beijing for the first time.
It's just that Wang Jia didn't know why Zhao Xiyan had been missing for so long, why he suddenly wanted to investigate the Red Lotus Sect, so he asked Yang Guang to bring people to see him.
If it was before, Wang Jia would even let Yang Guang kill Zhao Xiyan.
After all, Wang Jia has always had no good impression of this woman, and even to a certain extent, Wang Jia's heart is a little angry with Zhao Xiyan about Wang Changgeng's death.
"Several of Penglai Pavilion's men in Kyoto died in the Red Lotus Sect, so the slaves and maids came to find out."
Zhao Xiyan was so smart, hearing Wang Jia's inquiry, he naturally guessed that this seemingly ordinary Red Lotus Sect was likely to have a great relationship with the little master in front of him.
Hearing Zhao Xiyan talk about Penglai Pavilion, Wang Jia couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart, and then looked at Zhao Xiyan intentionally or unintentionally, and had the idea of pulling Penglai Pavilion back to his subordinates.
Feeling Wang Jia's gaze, Zhao Xiyan's heart tightened, and he seemed to sense Wang Jia's intentions, so he hurriedly said.
"From Langya City, after the prince was killed, the elite of Penglai Pavilion also suffered heavy losses after that time, and now Penglai Pavilion's manpower has long been gone."
Zhao Xiyan smiled helplessly, and at the same time hoped that saying this would make Wang Jia give up the idea of winning over Penglai Pavilion.
In the current situation, if Wang Jia really spoke, Zhao Xiyan understood that she couldn't refuse at all, after all, she also had some understanding of Yang Guang's skills, but she was afraid that she would end up in a different place.
However, what Zhao Xiyan never expected was that her words behind her really moved Wang Jia's heart.
If it is said that the masters of Penglai Pavilion are all there, Wang Jia really doesn't dare to have this idea, after all, the current situation makes it impossible for Wang Jia to control a huge organization like a complete Penglai Pavilion.
Hearing Zhao Xiyan say this, Wang Jia saw hope.
The current Wang Jia naturally doesn't have to be before, Penglai Pavilion is really powerful, and since Wang Changgeng, it is no longer mainly assassination.
Moreover, now the assistance of the wolf head makes Wang Jia look down on the so-called assassins like Zhao Xiyan at all, but in terms of intelligence, it has become Wang Jia's current shortcoming.
If there really is a perfect intelligence system, then the appearance of Riwei Nanqi and Gu Naluo can be grasped by them in the first time, and it will not end up dismally.
Although the Red Lotus Sect has been dealt a very serious blow, it is fortunate that as long as Wang Jia, the holy woman, is not made public by the government, then the teachings of the Red Lotus Sect, as well as its followers, will still exist.
At the beginning, the Red Lotus Sect was chosen in Nancheng, not only because there were many poor people in Nancheng, but also because of the lack of intelligence clues, and only in the places with the most poor people could they barely make up for the actions of the government.
Wang Jia showed an extremely cordial smile, and in front of Zhao Xiyan, who looked nervous, looked at Yang Guang and asked.
"Do you know what you can do to get a grandmaster to do my bidding."
"Abandon life and death?"
"Yes."
Wang Jia's face at the moment is like a delicate rose in full bloom, and under the beautiful smile, there is a bloody stinger.
When Zhao Xiyan heard this, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly got up to resist.
Bang!
After a dull sound, Zhao Xiyan fainted to the ground.
In front of Yang Guang, even Zhao Xiyan, who was a grandmaster, was no different from ordinary people outside.
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Xiyan woke up from the drowsy dizziness, and as an assassin, he immediately looked around vigilantly.
It was pitch black and silent, except for the faint sound of a few droplets of water dripping from an indiscernible direction.
"Are you awake?"
The light and shadow were like sharp knives, directly splitting the darkness in the secret room in two, and Yang Guang's cold voice came from overhead.
Under the sun, Zhao Xiyan could also see the surrounding situation clearly, this was an underground secret room.
