Chapter 20: The Undercurrent

"How?" Tang Xunyi was suddenly found by Cai Xiahe.

"That Hai Wuxian, who was imprisoned in the blood prison with us, has become the arrester of the Suppression Division." Cai Xiahe said to the man.

"You didn't kill him?" Tang Xunyi frowned.

"He's got a bit of luck. Hiding in the only safe place, the gunpowder failed to kill him. Cai Xiahe explained.

"So what are you looking for me to do? Let me do it? Tang Xunyi asked rhetorically.

"You and I are grasshoppers on a rope now, and I all know about the treasures of the former dynasty. If someone from the Pacification Division finds me, you'll definitely be next. What do you think? How about working together as we did when we escaped from prison? Cai Xiahe asked Tang Xunyi.

"I want to know what you know about the treasures of the previous dynasty?" Tang Xunyi did not give Cai Xiahe a reply, but continued to ask.

"What are you asking all this for?" Cai Xiahe asked puzzled.

"Now it's not just the imperial court that wants to get those treasures from the previous dynasty, but the people of the White Lotus Sect are also inquiring about our whereabouts and wanting to find out the treasures. Some recklessness on the rivers and lakes also want to get a piece of the pie. We're already the enemy of the world. Tang Xunyi explained the current situation to Cai Xiahe.

"What does this have to do with us, as early as the Great Wei Dynasty, those bandits have been looking for it, and they haven't found anything?" Cai Xiahe said indifferently.

"It's different, we were all imprisoned in the Blood Prison before, they flew around like headless flies, and it was undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find treasure. Now that we have escaped from the blood prison, we have given them a specific goal. There has been news that only you and I know where the approximate location of the treasure is. ”

"And what are your plans?" Hearing Tang Xunyi's explanation, Cai Xiahe couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Before, you arranged gunpowder in the blacksmith shop to assassinate the head of the Zhenfu Division, and now the court celebrant should have received the news. Next, the imperial court will definitely send people from the Suppression Division, and the White Lotus Sect will definitely receive a storm, and you and I will be in danger at that time. For the sake of the present day, we can only find one of the two to take refuge in them. ”

"The White Lotus Sect is ruthless, not to mention that the whereabouts of the treasure are unknown so far, even if we know the whereabouts of the treasure, we dare not guarantee that the people of the White Lotus Sect will not cross the river and tear down the bridge. As for the imperial court, you should have also heard about our Cai family back then. When Cai Xiahe talked about the imperial court, his face was bruised.

"In that case, your situation is indeed more dangerous than mine. Your Cai family's iron-smelting skills can be obtained by anyone from any side. If you want to survive, you have no other way but to hide. Tang Xunyi said with emotion.

"You've been in contact with Hai Wuxian before, how do you feel about Hai Wuxian?" Tang Xunyi continued to ask.

"I don't have any other impressions, just a little curious about the process of turning from a fugitive to a head catcher, he was imprisoned in the blood prison before us, and the target shouldn't be us." Cai Xiahe replied.

"Only by knowing each other and knowing oneself can one not be defeated in a hundred battles, I know through some special news that Hai Wuxian is the descendant of the rebel general back then."

"Didn't the rebels all be executed? How can there be descendants? Where did you get the news, will it be false? Cai Xiahe asked in surprise.

"You don't care about the source, just know that the source is reliable. Hai Wuxian's goal is not simple, if he can stay in the blood prison for six years, Hai Wuxian's body will definitely not be too clean. Now that the imperial court shouldn't have had time to send someone from the Zhenfu Division to come again, we can take the opportunity to talk to Hai Wuxian, maybe he can wipe out the whereabouts of you and me. ”

"I assassinated him before, and besides, he still has the identity of catching fast, will he disagree?"

"We have the news of the treasure of the previous dynasty in our hands, and if Hai Wuxian wants to achieve his goal, he will definitely not let go of such a big bargaining chip. There is no right or wrong, only the pros and cons. Smart people know how to choose, I don't think Hai Wuxian is a stupid person. ”

"Then you're going to tell Hai Wuxian where the treasure is?" Cai Xiahe asked.

"How is it possible, the secret that is told is not called a secret. What's more, I really didn't quite find it. ”

————

"Hai Wuxian is actually a member of the imperial court, he hides it quite deeply, and when he was in the blood prison, he really didn't find that there was a stinky rat locked up!" Mo Laodao stood in a study room, holding a letter, a little surprised by the news.

"Sect Master, the person who assassinated Hai Wuxian is also a fugitive from the Blood Prison." An attendant knelt down on one knee to report to Mo Laodao.

"Oh? There are only two people who fled to Langya County! Is it Tang Xun's hand? Mo Lao Dao said indifferently.

"Back to the sect leader, I haven't found Tang Xunyi yet, and the killer is Cai Xiahe." The squire replied.

"Huh! This Tang Xun is quite good at hiding, no wonder those rebellious ministers and thieves have not found the treasure of our dynasty until now. However, Hai Wuxian is actually in Langya County, is he going to hunt down Tang Xunyi to find the treasure? Or is it a way to hunt down Cai Xiahe to smelt iron? ”

"Sect Master, it should be to hunt down Cai Xiahe, after all, it was Cai Xiahe who lured Hai Wuxian into a dead place covered with gunpowder. But this Hai Wuxian's life is really hard enough, and gunpowder can't kill him. The squire said.

"Cai Xiahe's dead hand doesn't mean that Hai Wuxian is running for him, and the spy from Langya County said in the letter that Cai Xiahe didn't show up. This could also be a play written and acted by Hai Wuxian himself, in order to paralyze everyone's attention. Hum! Didn't Tie Zhengsha design to trick the sect leader out of the White Lotus Sect's main altar back then, otherwise he would have been able to catch the sect leader with a small head catcher? Speaking of which, Mo Laodao was still faintly angry. If it weren't for Li Lingzhi's faintness, how could he have fallen for Tie Zhengsha's scheme.

"The Cai family's ancestral iron-smelting technique is also very important to our sect, send someone to keep an eye on him, but don't startle the snake. As for Tang Xunyi, the imperial court will not let Tang Xunyi be found by others first, if there is no news, don't waste manpower to find it, tell people to keep an eye on Hai Wuxian, and the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind. Mo Lao Dao commanded again.

"Yes! Master. The attendant exited the study.

Mo Laodao muttered: "The fugitive from the Blood Prison has turned into the head catcher of the Zhenfu Division, which is quite like Tie Zhengsha's handiwork, but revealing the identity of the head catcher so early looks a little different. ”

"Bell" Mo Laodao knocked on the desk in front of him, and then another attendant came in.

"Send a message to the dark guard, and tell him to go to Langya County to get close to Hai Wuxian, and if necessary, expose the people we are eyeing and get Hai Wuxian's new appointment."

The guard did not reply, but withdrew from the study with a wave of his hand.

Beijing - Dangerous Building.

"Jin Jiu, apart from these useless things, you really don't plan to hand over the important things in the back?" Wei Yong took a few pages of the account book and asked the person behind the fence opposite, frowning.

"Master Wei doesn't have to test Jin, you won't be able to get anything until you see the real backer!" Jin Jiu replied indifferently.

"Jin Jiu, don't think about it, you're not qualified to meet your nobles yet." Wei Yong put away the pages.

"The inspectors of the Zhenfu Division have to be called nobles, and Jin's new backer is really noble! I don't know how many products this nobleman's official residence has? Jin Jiu asked with some curiosity.

"Tell me, what do you want to hand over that book!" Wei Yong continued to ask.

"Huh! Lord Wei, Jin just wants to see Jin's new backer when he sees the end of the dragon. There are no other conditions, even if Jin is let out, Jin is worried about the officials in Jiangnan! Jin Jiu was still so indifferent.

"As long as you hand over the account books, the official can assure you that the officials in Jiangnan will not do anything to you!" Wei Yong softened his soft tone.

"Haha! Can you ask yourself if you believe this sentence? Jin Jiu scoffed.

"Alright, Wei Yu, you go down first!" Suddenly, there was a sound from the corridor.

"No." When Wei Yong heard the sound, he withdrew from the opposite direction. I don't know how this "dangerous building" dungeon is designed, each cell is independent, and the corridors are on both sides of the cell, which looks like a crossroads.

"You want to see me?" Li Zhen walked to Jin Jiu's cell and looked at Jin Jiu in prison.

As soon as Jin Jiu saw Wei Yong retreat after hearing the words, he knew that his new backer was coming, but he heard that the voice was relatively immature, and he couldn't imagine that such a young voice would be a few officials. When he saw Li Zhen wearing a brocade robe in front of the prison, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. "I?"

"Why, don't you have to see me to hand over your account books?" Seeing that the other party didn't reply, Li Zhen said again.

"Grass people Jin Jiu see the saint." When Jin Jiu heard the other party's question, he hurriedly bowed.

"Under the Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. The whole world is holy, why is it difficult for the saint to want an account book," Jin Jiu said respectfully.

"Well said! Jin Jiu, as long as you hand over the account books, I will ensure that you will not have to worry about it, even if you leave this place. Li Zhen said a little proudly.

.....

"Feng An, you tell you to go down and go to the place where Jin Jiu said to get the account books back." Li Zhen, who left the dangerous building, said to Feng An.

"No." The master of ceremonies replied.

"How's going on in Langya County? Has Hai Wuxian found out Tang Xunxi's whereabouts? Li Zhen asked Feng An.

"Back to Your Majesty, the head of the sea catcher was injured by gunpowder in Langya County, and the whereabouts of the villain have not yet been found. The celebrant's spies said it was done by another fugitive. Feng An replied truthfully.

"Wounded? Another fugitive? Li Zhen frowned.

"The spies reported that Hai Zhutou's injuries were not serious, and that the other fugitive was the one from Cai Jiaye," Feng An explained to Li Zhen.

"Send more people to keep an eye on them, the White Lotus Sect has always been eyeing treasures and iron smelting, and I will never allow these two to fall into their hands." Li Zhen said to Feng An.

"No." Feng An replied.

"It's been a long time since I've been out of the palace, Feng An, you can go shopping with me." Li Zhen commanded.
