Chapter 407: Mutual Calculations
Although Lu Xiao is not a music idiot, he is not a musical touch that can easily play world famous songs.
The sound plucked by the strings of the Fuxi qin can control people's hearts, but there are no special rules on what kind of music to play, and only the user needs to inject spiritual power and mind into the sound of the qin to play a role.
Shan Xiaoxiao is a thousand-year-old pipa cultivation formation, and has a strong resistance to sonic spiritual attacks.
The first time she used Fu Xiqin, Lu Xiao's technique was not very skilled, and it took a quarter of an hour to break her resistance.
Although it was not deliberately targeted, Shangguan Zhenyuan, who was standing on the side, was also affected.
When his brain began to dizzy, he immediately took a dozen steps back alertly, tore off his clothes and stuffed them into his ears.
However, Fu Xiqin is not just for hearing, the sound that goes straight to the soul makes Shangguan Zhenyuan miserable, and he can only try to stay away from the range covered by the sound waves.
Under Fu Xiqin's control, Shan Xiaoxiao's eyes, who were already seriously injured, gradually became dull.
Lu Xiao was distracted and continued to play the Fuxi Qin while sending the sound directly into the small cerebellum.
"To answer my question, how did you find my tracks?"
Shan Xiaoxiao replied in a trance: "The proprietor behind the Fenglaiyi Inn is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of the Dynasty, and the county lord and the daughter of Shangshu are inextricably intertwined, and the Fenglaiyi Inn is also one of the intelligence networks we secretly laid out." ”
Lu Xiao nodded her forehead helplessly: "I understand in this way, Dugu Ningke captured the whereabouts of Jing Qiu and Xiaoxue, so he conducted a strict investigation of the customers who came and went to the inn?" ”
"That's right, you who paid for the top floor of the inn are also one of the targets of our key surveillance."
'Careless......
Lu Xiao hid his whereabouts very well, but Chen Jingqiu and Xiaoxue didn't have such rich experience in the rivers and lakes.
For many years, Dugu Ningke has been secretly looking for forces to oppose Yuwen Tuo, and she will devote a certain amount of attention to any individual or group related to ancient artifacts.
Shennong Ding was taken away by Yuwen Tuo from the Tuoba tribe, and Zhang Lie and Tuoba Yu'er were on her watchlist from the beginning.
Jing Qiu and Xiaoxue, who had had a lot of contact with Zhang Lie, also entered her sight, and the experience of passing by outside the palace in Daliang City was not accidental, but Dugu Ning Ke deliberately passed in front of them.
Although he failed to find a chance to establish direct contact with Chen Jingqiu, Dugu Ningke never gave up this line, trying to secretly provoke Jingqiu and others to be hostile to Yuwen Tuo, and snatch the ancient artifact before him as much as possible.
After further investigation of Chen Jingqiu's network, Dugu Ningke discovered an unexpected surprise.
Gongshan Tie, the first person in Guigu Taoism who fought with Yuwen Tuo a few years ago, was actually Chen Jingqiu's uncle, and this Taoist who had been sick in bed for many years was actually cured recently.
It was at this time that Lu Xiao faintly appeared in front of Dugu Ningke's eyes.
Dugu Ningke is a person who holds a lot of grudges, Lu Xiao forced her to almost fall into a desperate situation when she was in the Demon King's Stone, and she has always kept the shame at that time in her heart.
But if Lu Xiao also intends to be an enemy of Yuwen Tuo, she doesn't mind temporarily suppressing her desire for revenge, using her best acting skills to play with Lu Xiao in the palm of her hand, asking him to add more difficulty to Yuwen Tuo's artifact collection plan, and then kick him away after losing its use value.
It's a pity that apart from that brief contact on the dragon boat, Lu Xiao has never shown obvious hostility towards Yuwen Tuo.
Coupled with Lu Xiao's erratic whereabouts, Dugu Ningke felt a sense of threat from him that was difficult to control.
Due to inertial thinking, Lu Xiao, who had already been disguised, did not change his appearance again when he left Daxing City, and kept staring at Dugu Ningke, who had been staring at Youfeng Laiyi Inn, arranged for people to follow him all the way.
After discovering that Lu Xiao's whereabouts were likely to be Dunhuang, she immediately sent her most powerful subordinate Shan Xiaoxiao, and hurried to the Dunhuang military camp to reveal the news of the assassin's arrival to Shangguan Zhenyuan in advance, so that he could arrange a siege network against Lu Xiao in advance.
The gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, and the villain takes revenge, from morning to night.
Lu Xiao is not a rookie who lacks social experience like Chen Jingqiu, and after a long follow-up investigation, Dugu Ningke determined that he could not be used for himself.
In this case, Dugu Ningke can rest assured that he can boldly avenge the previous one-arrow revenge, and maybe he can still wait for the rabbit to take Fu Xiqin from Lu Xiao's hands.
Lei Fa has extra lethality to demonic things, and the small injuries that are targeted are very serious, and her physical condition is getting worse and worse in the process of being mentally interrogated, and she may die at any time.
"One last question."
Seeing that time was getting more and more pressing, Lu Xiao quickened his voice and asked Shan Xiaoxiao, "How much does Dugu Ningke know about our plan?" ”
"Plan?"
The small eyes are half-open and half-closed, and the breath is like a gossamer, and it is about to die.
"We don't know...... What a plan, just ...... Monitor ...... all the time Your movements......"
Lu Xiao can intuitively perceive a single breath of life through eagle vision, and it is impossible to pretend to be dead in front of him.
The fire of life of this thousand-year-old pipa spirit finally burned out, and he swallowed his last breath in the state of being controlled by Fu Xiqin's mind.
Stopping the mechanical playing, Lu Xiao muttered thoughtfully in a low voice: "In other words, is there a turnaround?" ”
Thinking about it, the top floor of the inn was set up by Lu Xiao, and no matter how powerful Dugu Ningke was, it was impossible for him to enter the enchantment without realizing it, and overhear the plan secretly agreed upon by Lu Xiao and others.
However, Zhang Lie, Jing Qiu and Xiaoxue should have been under her surveillance all the time, maybe they had sent Yu Chi Yanhong to follow them all the way, and even she herself had already set off to the tomb of the ancient king of Bashu to seek Nuwa Stone.
Turning his head to look at Shangguan Zhenyuan, who had just pulled out the earbuds, Lu Xiao pointed to Shan Xiaoxiao's corpse and said, "This pipa essence will be handed over to you to deal with, and now, you should know who is really planning the conspiracy behind the scenes, right?" ”
Shangguan Zhenyuan stared at Lu Xiao vigilantly, still not completely letting go of his hostility.
"Anyway, you are a wanted criminal in the imperial court after all, and as an officer of the Great Sui, I have the obligation to arrest you."
"Huh?"
Lu Xiao sneered and looked around, many of Shangguan Zhenyuan's personal guards were still sitting on the ground trembling.
"Just these unwarlike soldiers? Give it up. ”
"There is no unsolvable grudge between me and Yuwen Tuo, and maybe we can reach a certain degree of cooperation with him in repairing the Traces of Heaven."
"General Shangguan, you go back first and report the situation here to Yuwen Tuo, so that he can see clearly who the real enemy he is about to face."
Lu Xiao's figure gradually disappeared in front of Shangguan Zhenyuan, leaving only an ethereal word that went away with the wind.
"Fu Xiqin, Shennong Ding, Kongtong Yin, Pangu Axe and Demon Refining Pot are all in our hands, and Donghuang Zhong and Nuwa Shi are also with us, you remember to relay this news to Yuwen Tuo as well."
At the same time as Lu Xiao left, the pouring rain that shrouded the outside of the Dunhuang Grottoes also stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed.
"Whew~"
The strong enemy, whose position was unknown for the time being, finally left, and Shangguan Zhenyuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
Looking at the clear Gobi night sky again, Shangguan Zhenyuan's brows still did not loosen: "Nuwa Stone is also in the hands of these people?" So what did Hu Lu'an dig in the tomb of the ancient king of Bashu? ”
