Chapter 424: The Messenger
The sky was almost dawn, and it was quiet on Pansi Ridge, without a trace of wind or sound.
The people in the Yellow Flower Temple are holding their breath, waiting for the darkest hour before dawn to pass.
Suddenly, the bell on the bell tower rang with a bang.
The silent night was struck by the sound of bells.
People were startled, and their hearts trembled in the buzzing of the bronze bells.
The golden rooster in charge of guarding the bell tower jumped up from the bell tower, and its colorful tail was like a comet in the night sky, leaving five fireworks-like lights above the bell tower.
"What's going on?" Qi Fei Fei Imperial Sword flew up to the bell tower and asked.
Jinji looked at the mountain vigilantly: "It seems that someone has gone up the mountain." ”
Generally speaking, if no one rings the bell in the temple, then the bell rings, which means that someone has knocked on the mountain stone at the bottom of the mountain.
When the demon attacks the mountain, of course, it will not knock on the mountain stone, but who will come to visit the mountain at this time?
A nightingale flew through the dense woods, flew to the Yellow Flower Temple, landed on the old elm tree, handed a note in his mouth to the night owl, and exchanged a few chirps.
The nightingale flew away, and the night owl flew up, landed on the bell tower, and handed the note to Qi Yufei.
"Someone knocked on the mountain stone and left this note." The words of night owls are already very standard.
Qi Feifei took the note, only to see that it was written in scribbled handwriting:
"There is an ambush on the road, be cautious, the ninth master is not dead, I will kill you."
After Qi Hufei finished reading it, he handed the note to Lu Cheng next to him, and then asked the night owl: "Who sent it?" ”
The night owl said, "I don't know, none of the brothers under the mountain saw it, someone knocked on the mountain stone, and when I went to see it, I only found this note." ”
Qi Hufei nodded, and let the night owl continue to go back to guard.
Regarding the content on the note, the rest was fine, but what shocked him the most was the words "The Ninth Master is not dead".
How could the Ninth Master not die?
He pierced his mud pill with a sword, and his head was still in the Chenghuang Division of Nalan City.
Even if his Yuan Shen remnant soul could escape from under the Chengying Sword, there were still so many masters on the scene, how could he be allowed to escape?
Is it really the same as the legendary mosquito man, as long as a mosquito does not die, he will not die?
As for Fu Hongsheng wanting to kill him, Qi Hufei was not surprised at all.
It's just that why is this sentence connected with the sentence "The Ninth Master is not dead"?
Could it be that there is any connection between Fu Hongsheng and Jiu Ye?
Qi Hufei remembered the mysterious disciple of the Miyun Sect who was hidden in Nalan City that Zhuhua said.
From the conversation between Chunyue and Fu Hongsheng overheard in Chunyue Tower, it can be confirmed that this person is Fu Hongsheng's uncle, that is, the second-generation disciple of the Miyun Sect.
Could it be that this person is the Ninth Master?
"What does Mr. Lu think?" Qi Jufei asked.
Lu Cheng was also very puzzled, and said: "There is an ambush on the road, obviously it is about Jiaoze ambushing the sixth prince, and there are not many people who know about it, which means that this person is likely to be from the Demon Dao, or at least has something to do with them." ”
"Why did the people in the Demon Dao come to remind us?"
"Judging from the content of the note, the focus of this person's reminder is on you, the captain, not on the sixth prince, indicating that this person is likely to have a relationship with the captain."
"Something to do with me?"
Qi Feifei's first thought was that Master Wujizi had no idea, but immediately rejected this idea.
If Wujizi wants to remind him, there are many ways, and there is no need to knock on the mountain to leave paper.
Leaving a small note is not Master's style at all.
Moreover, the divine thoughts left by Wujizi in the Heavenly Tribulation Simulator have been made clear, and from now on, it will depend on Qi Hufei himself. Since he said this, such a trivial matter should not come over to remind him.
If he really thinks that the safety of Pansiling is at stake, then he should also be ambushed in Qijiaoze, and just wait until the critical moment to make a move.
But in addition to inorganic, Qi Hufei is in this world, where are there any old people?
Most of the people I know are on this mountain.
Not to mention that this person is also having an affair with the Demon Dao.
Lu Cheng said: "The ninth master is not dead, it is unexpected. If it is true, Jiu Ye's escape must be extremely secretive, and if he is not his cronies, it is impossible to know. How did this person find out? And his last sentence, Fu wants to kill you, is obviously talking about Fu Hongsheng.
Why did Fu Hongsheng kill the captain? He and the captain certainly have a disagreement, but they don't have to kill you.
The sentence 'Fu wants to kill you' is placed after 'Jiu Ye is not dead', if these two things are connected, the reason why Fu wants to kill you will be established. ”
"Because I killed the Ninth Master?"
"No, since the ninth master is not dead, he naturally can't let Fu Hongsheng avenge him, and he may leak the news that he is not dead."
"Why is that?"
"Because you killed Zhao Chun." Lu Cheng said, "I speculate that the Ninth Master is likely to be a member of the Miyun Sect, or at least has a very close relationship with Fu Hongsheng, and Zhao Chun is the son of the Ninth Master. ”
"Zhao Chun is the son of the Ninth Master?"
Being reminded by Lu Cheng like this, Qi Hufei remembered that the reaction of the Ninth Master after killing Zhao Chun was indeed abnormal.
It stands to reason that a tyrant like the Ninth Master, no matter how important a subordinate is, will not gamble with his life and the foundation he has built for decades.
It turned out to be a son, who seemed to be an illegitimate child, and he never called his father until he died.
Qi Hufei had to admire Lu Cheng's reasoning ability.
I could think that the Ninth Master was a member of the Miyun Sect because I had known in advance that there was a disciple of the Miyun Sect in Nalan City, and I heard that person was Fu Hongsheng's senior uncle in the Spring Moon Tower.
Although he trusted Lu Cheng very much and never hid anything from him, these things were related to Tulaon's death, and he never told anyone.
Murdering a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court is better than killing a monster, this kind of thing is better to rot in the stomach.
Without knowing anything, Lu Cheng judged the relationship between the Ninth Master and the Miyun Sect with this note, and also judged that Zhao Chun was the son of the Ninth Master.
"Sir, are you saying that the person who reported the news is from the Miyun Sect?"
"Can't be sure, but it should be related." Lu Cheng said, "This person should have something to do with the Ninth Master, the Demon Dao and the Captain. ”
Qi Hu suddenly remembered someone.
Could it be him......
But it seems too bizarre.
Lu Cheng said: "Anyway, since this person reported that you should beware of ambush, but did not say that the demons were going to attack the mountain, then at least it means that Pansiling is safe for the time being." The enemy's preferred strategy is to ambush in Qijiaoze rather than storm Pansiling. ”
Qi Hufei nodded and said, "Mr.'s analysis makes sense, but the question now is, after dawn, the Yaksha came, should I go with Xiao Liuzi or not?" ”
Lu Cheng said: "I still have to go." If they don't go, they will inevitably storm Pansiling. With Pansiling's current defensive capabilities, if there is really a Heavenly Demon leading the team to attack the mountain, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand it for half a day. ”
Qi Feifei hesitated: "But the time is a day earlier, and I don't know if Director Qin and Prince Moang's people can be in place?" If it doesn't work, it's better to defend the mountain than to fall into an ambush circle and no one answers. ”
Ao Ba next to him said: "No, I can't let Pansiling be in danger because of me, after dawn, when the Yaksha comes, I will go with him alone, and none of you are allowed to follow." ”
Qi Feifei glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" You are my brother, how could I let my brother be alone? Don't say that you are the identity of the sixth prince of the Dragon Palace, if you change it to any brother on Pansi Ridge, I won't care about this kind of thing! ”
Ao Ba wanted to say something more, but was pulled by Su Suisui.
Su Suisui said: "Little Liuzi, don't make trouble, Brother Qi and Mr. Lu will come up with a way." ”
Xiaoqing proposed: "It's better for everyone to hide in Pansi Cave." ”
