Chapter 72: Beyond Los Angeles (Part 3)
The palace door opened inward, and the eunuch of his own bowed down and stepped into the hall.
The doors of the temple closed again behind him.
The whole hall was even hotter than the outside, because it was filled with a strong smell of smoke, and a large amount of spices burned in the hall, making the whole palace like a furnace.
The palace is covered with hanging drapery, these drapery separates the space in the palace, and the floor is almost able to illuminate the figure of the gold brick, which is not a real gold brick, but a specially fired palace brick for the royal family, each piece is two feet square, smooth and fine, known as knocking silently, broken without holes, the production process of each gold brick is often more than a year, and its price is also very precious.
Because even in the entire Forbidden City, not all places are covered with such precious gold bricks, and only where the emperor lives and walks will have such luxurious paving.
The gold brick under his feet shone on the figure of the purple-clothed eunuch, he bowed down and walked on the gold brick without making any sound, really like a cat.
And at the end of the palace, only can see a god seat covered with flowers and herbs, pull out a long curtain from the top of the palace, wrap the entire god seat, an illusory figure is sitting in the god seat meditating, only to see him tall and thin like a crane, fluttering like a fairy.
When the eunuch came to the throne ten steps away, he took the lead and fell to the ground: "Little Yuan Chong, I have seen the Emperor of Wanshou. ”
On the throne of the gods, the old man in the curtain closed his eyes and breathed, sitting cross-legged on the flowers and futons, without opening his eyes: "Why are you in such a hurry to see me?" ”
"Tell the master, long live the master, the little one knows that you are cultivating immortals, but Zhou Dunru in Los Angeles handed over the fold......"
"I handed over a fold and it should be under the control of the cabinet, what are you doing to find me?" The old man on the throne of God said purely.
"It's not that I want to disturb the master's Qingxiu, but the content of this fold is not suitable for the cabinet to propose." Yuan Chong knelt on the ground and said.
"Get up." The old man still didn't open his eyes: "Since it is not suitable for the cabinet vote, it is not a court matter." ”
"Exactly, Zhou Dunru made an excerpt and claimed that there were hive thieves in Los Angeles, but the force in Los Angeles was not enough to subdue these thieves, so I implore the master to send a few masters over to wipe out these rebellious ministers and thieves."
"Hive?" The old man muttered these two words: "Is it the beehive that assassinated Tobe Shirou at the end of last year?" ”
"Master Mingjian, exactly." Yuan Chong nodded yes.
"It's been a few months?" The old man opened his eyes: "It's been half a year!" ”
His voice was full of anger, and Yuan Chong knelt on the ground with a thud when he heard this.
Trembling.
"Master, you have to take care of the dragon's body." He knelt on the ground and pleaded.
"It's been half a year, I asked you to check, and you have found out so far, and you haven't uprooted the hive, but let Zhou Dunru, the governor of Los Angeles, come to see my jokes!" The old man sat on the throne and looked coldly at Yuan Chong in front of him: "You are in charge of Dongchang, and Gu Chuan is in charge of Beizhen Fusi." ”
"I have given you three months to get rid of the evil and uproot it so that there will be no future trouble."
"Now, three months, three months, more than six months have passed, and you are now telling me that the Hive, far from being devastated in its vitality, can make waves again in Los Angeles."
"Can I think that after Xue Ping's death, your group of wastes will become a complete rice bucket?"
Yuan Chong knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.
He could only plead, "Your Majesty." ”
The old man sat on the throne for a moment, and then said coldly, "Palm." ”
Yuan Chong kowtowed: "Long live the reward." ”
Saying this, he knelt on the ground, opened his bow left and right, the sound was crisp, and he slapped down one by one, but he did not slow down, but his face slowly began to swell, and the old man spoke behind the curtain: "Enough." ”
"What are you going to do next?" The old man then asked.
"Subordinate, subordinate will personally lead the team over and uproot the beehives around Los Angeles!" Yuan Chong said coldly.
The old man stared at him coldly, noncommittal.
"Is it necessary?" He said quietly: "You, a eunuch with the palm seal of Dongchang, left Yanjing for this little thing?" ”
"Then ......" Yuan Chong hesitated.
"Let Lu Yuan lead the team." The old man said lightly: "And tell him that this time the matter is done, and I will let him be the commander of the Jinyi Guard." ”
"Yes, the little one remembered." Yuan Chong said in a trembling voice.
"Let's go down." The old man said coldly: "You disturbed my cultivation, and I have to cultivate for another seven hundred and forty-nine days before I can attain the Fa." ”
"Yes, yes." Yuan Chong knelt and moved backwards, until he walked out of the main hall door, before he got up and walked away from this smoky and stuffy hall.
The boots were covered with sweat.
……
……
In Bianliang City, West Lake Courtyard.
In the rooms deep in the building, the night pearls placed on the walls and overhead glowed faintly.
It's not as bright as a candle, but it's enough for the people in this room to see each other.
There's only one huge round table here.
There was a man at the head of the round table, and there were people around him.
But in the entire room, there were only four people who were qualified to sit.
The rest of the people are standing around.
"The mission to assassinate Shang Jiuge has been canceled."
The person sitting at the front could only see a silhouette, and the voice was a rather young woman.
The people sitting around didn't ask any questions, but the people standing around them had some slight throbbing.
"Whose decision?" A standing man asked.
"Of course it's the one who makes the decision on qualifications." The woman at the head said lightly.
"This is a notice, not a discussion."
"The second thing we have to discuss is the second thing." She looked at everyone, and then continued: "About He Ping. ”
Hearing the name, everyone felt a slight suffocation for a moment.
"He Ping had submitted her new list of assassin applications to the Order just a few hours ago."
As soon as these words came out, there was a slight sound of ear-to-ear contact from below.
"Does this also need to be discussed?"
"On an occasion like this?"
"Is He Ping still alive?"
"Isn't that a big fuss?"
In the midst of such doubts, the woman smiled.
"This time, He Ping put forward a list of four candidates."
"I just have to say it and you'll know why you're here for this meeting."
"The first list: scheduled for the carpenter bee bee needle, Huashan Shang Jiuge."
"The second list: scheduled for carpenter bee wings, Shanxi Sheng Junqian."
"The third list is scheduled to be Carpenter Bee Needle, Black None in the Western Regions."
"The fourth list is scheduled for carpenter bee wings, Ningxia in the Western Regions."
The woman spat out the names one by one, and with each name she pronounced, she heard a minute of silence below, and when all four names were pronounced, there was only a faint sound of breathing in the room.
"So that's why Shang Jiuge was removed from the assassination list?" The man sitting across from the woman asked in a low voice.
The woman smiled slightly.
"Exactly."
ps: The next two watches will be sent together, and the fifth watch will arrive late.
Also, the transition chapters are so hard to write!
