Chapter 8: The Kidnapped Soul Whisperer
At eight o'clock that night, Bubuwang arrived in the imperial capital and successfully rendezvoused with Su Xiao, and Baja was not far from the capital, and he could reach it in the second half of the night.
Su Xiao was located in a two-story house at this time, and the identity of the commander of the Ninth Army did not have a luxurious mansion, after all, he was fighting outside all the year round, and this residence was rented by Su Xiaogang.
The Crow's Eye Intelligence Organization has arrived, and what Su Xiao has to do next is to find the Soul Whisperer with all his might, as for the Crow Eye that the Moon Goddess said will never be able to find the Soul Whisperer, that is a fart, and he can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour.
Although the old holy king had already 'driven Su Xiao out' before, wanting to help him block the catastrophe in this way, judging from the previous behavior of the Moon God Maiden, 'driving out' had an effect, at least to ensure that the Moon God Girl would not turn her face directly, but the actual effect was not great.
Su Xiao would not let himself be under the siege of two old yin beeps, so he chose to support the old saint king in the afternoon and join forces to deal with the other old yin beep.
Su Xiao sat at the dining table, opposite the little adjutant who was having dinner, Bu Bu Wang squatted at Su Xiao's feet, just now, Bu Bu Wang, who was sitting next to the little adjutant, realized how protective the other party was, it was almost bitten by the little adjutant, and Bu Bu showed an expression of indifference.
"Wang~"
Bu Buwang was asking Su Xiao: "Master, where did you find this person, is it so protective of food?" ”
"Secret Prison."
Su Xiao threw down the document in his hand, obviously, it was impossible for the crow eye that the Moon God Girl said before to find the soul whisperer, she just said it casually.
It only took one and a half hours for the crow's eye to find the soul whisperer, and also determined the specific location of the soul whisperer, saying that this was just found, Su Xiao definitely didn't believe it.
The Soul Whisperer is in the Imperial Capital, to be exact, he was captured, and the person who captured him was the Eagle Marquis.
Su Xiao knew that it was impossible to ask for someone from the Eagle Marquis, so he could only take it over.
"No wonder that old guy is willing to protect me, it turns out that he is waiting here, the attitude of the Moon Goddess is similar, such a big piece of cake, it is already surprising that the woman can resist not turning her face directly."
Su Xiao muttered in a low voice, now, he completely knew what was going on, the next thing he had to do was very simple, go to the Lulunfei Palace to see the Old Holy King, something big was about to happen.
"Bubu, go and keep an eye on the Luna Goddess."
"Wang?"
"It depends."
Su Xiao rubbed his forehead lightly, what did Bu Buwang mean just now, is it 24 hours a day?
Bubuwang walked towards the first floor of the house, and as soon as he reached the first floor, it melted into the environment.
"Don't eat, follow me to the Loulenfe Palace."
"Immediately, two more! Don't! ”
Su Xiao went out with the little adjutant, and it turned out that in front of absolute strength, food protection was vulnerable.
……
9 p.m., in the inner area of the Loulenfe Palace, in a flower room.
Dressed in loose pajamas, the old king was wiping dust from the stems and leaves of flowers with a long-spouted kettle in one hand and a muslin cloth in the other.
"When people are old, they just like to raise some flowers and plants."
The old saint king reverted to the image of a kind old man, and Su Xiao sat on a wooden chair on the other side of the flower room, holding a small flower pot in his hand.
Click~
There was a crack on the flower pot, this can be called an antique flower pot, you can't take it like this at all, Su Xiao calmly put the flower pot on the shelf beside him.
When the old saint king heard the sound, he saw the fine cracks on the flower pot, and his hand pointing at Su Xiao began to tremble.
"Hey~"
The old king picked up a wooden tong wrapped in muslin cloth and carefully corrected the position of the flower pot.
"What's the attitude of the goddess?"
The old holy king's eyes were full of heartache, but he didn't blame anything.
"You tried to kill me, but it didn't work."
Hearing Su Xiao's direct answer, the old saint king nodded, he knew that Su Xiao thought of the meaning, and now he was his own person.
"When will Eagle Marquis' side start?"
Su Xiao picked up a small flower pot again, these small flower pots are extremely exquisite, and the gems inlaid on them, as long as they are notarized, are at least pale gold quality.
"Down, down, slowly."
The old saint king tapped Su Xiao's arm with the wooden tongs in his hand, and as soon as Su Xiao put down the flower pot, there was another crisp click.
“……”
“……”
The old saint king pressed the mechanism, and the flower stand gradually moved away from Su Xiao, a 'dangerous person'.
"Later, pull him out of the Empire, maybe it's the last time to cooperate with the goddess, be careful over there, there are very few people who can help me do these things now."
The Old Saint King sat on the chair next to Su Xiao, and when he talked about this kind of thing, the people below were respectful, and now, Su Xiao and the Old Saint King were a community of interests.
What the old saint king wants is the supreme power of the empire, not because of how greedy he is for power, but because in peacetime, the existence of three imperial rulers at the same time is almost devastating.
From the day of the armistice, the Old Saint King was ready to wipe out all his opponents, or be eliminated by those better than him.
And tonight, Eagle Marquis, one of the three giants of the empire, is about to be out.
When Su Xiao was still in the secret prison, the Old Saint King and the Moon Goddess began to plan this matter, they did not talk about it, but they cooperated in another way.
Originally, Su Xiao was released from the secret prison because of the old Saint King's move to restrain the Moon Goddess, but when Su Xiao revealed that he was looking for the Soul Whisperer, the situation changed.
The Old Saint King had long known that the Soul Whisperer had been kidnapped to the Imperial Capital by the Eagle Marquis, and it was Crow's Eye who found out about it.
Knowing that Su Xiao was also looking for the Soul Whisperer, this was in line with the old Saint King's plan, so the Old Saint King gave Su Xiao control of the crow's eyes, but before that, Su Xiao had to pass the Moon Goddess level first, which was an unavoidable situation.
The Moon Goddess also prepared people to kill the Eagle Marquis, but compared to the people on her side, Su Xiao's strength was stronger, so the Moon Goddess wanted to get rid of Su Xiao, because, whoever gets rid of the Eagle Marquis tonight will be able to play a dominant role in the subsequent division of rights.
When the Moon Goddess mentioned the Eagle Marquis before, Su Xiao felt that something was wrong, but after all, he had just arrived in this world, and it was impossible for him to know the arrangement of the Old Saint King and the Moon Goddess immediately.
When he came out of the Moon God Monastery, Su Xiao roughly knew what was going on, so he showed this casual attitude with the old Saint King, and the old Saint King also saw that it just so happened that he urgently needed someone like Su Xiao now.
When Su Xiao left the Moon God Monastery, the Moon God Maiden could be described as a wave of envy, jealousy, and hatred, because it was inevitable that Su Xiao would stand on the side of the Old Saint King, and it was also tonight that she realized how difficult Su Xiao was.
"Kill directly?"
Su Xiao wanted to determine the last key piece of information.
"Trees whose roots have been pulled out are of course cut down."
The old saint king stood between Su Xiao and the flower stand, so as not to let Su Xiao touch his heart and soul treasure again.
"Three in the morning? Or earlier? Or wait for him to invite me? ”
Hearing Su Xiao's words, the old saint king's face wrinkled and smiled even deeper.
"Wait for him to invite you."
What is the specific reason why the Eagle Marquis would invite Su Xiao to his house, the old saint king did not say, because there was no such need.
Su Xiao walked outside the flower room, and just now, he triggered a hidden mission.
