Chapter 174: A Wave of Unsettled
At that moment, the king of Huainan summoned the chief attendant of his palace in. instructed him three things, first, to start secretly checking if anyone had a sudden emergency today. Second, in order to prevent people from cooperating with the outside, send close people to take their Wang Fu to the captain's office in the city to move troops, and transfer 3,000 armor soldiers to surround their Wang Fu, and do not allow any contact between the outside world and the palace. At the same time, most of the guards in the palace were transferred to guard this inner hall, and there was no royal order from the king of Huainan, and there were trespassers who were immediately beheaded. Third, I will invite the two gentlemen Gui Fei and Ren San, who are still in the Zhaoxian Hall, to come over, although Wu Mian is by his side, but it is a matter of life and death, it is better to prepare a few more guarantees.
After watching the chief attendant leave, King Huainan saluted Wu Mian again. While thanking him for saving his life, he also asked if he had handled it properly. Wu Mian said indifferently: "Why is this your palace, you can be happy." But for the sake of eating your food for more than a year, I would like to remind you again, if the person who controls Jiuqu is not removed, you better not leave my side. ”
Wu Mian, who is mean by nature, can say such a thing, and King Huainan is already grateful. At that moment, he declared to the two envoys that he had just suffered a wind illness outside the gate, which had aggravated his illness. Wait until he has recovered a little before receiving the two teams of envoys, and then, the king of Huainan gave a banquet. He sent his own ministers and close ministers to entertain the two groups of envoys.
Half an hour later, Gui Bugui and Xiao Rensan were taken to the palace by the chief of the chamberlain. After seeing the nine-song road in Xiao Liu Xi's palm, he smacked his mouth and said to Wu Mian: "Tsk, it's really a nine-song road." It's been years since I've seen anyone control the bougainvillea. But old man, I can't imagine that you can recognize this kind of worm - it is recorded in the classics left to you by that old guy Xu Fu, right? ”
"Do you want me to lend it to you?" Wu Mian glanced at him with no return, and then said, "I know so much about the Nine Curve Worm, is there any way you can eliminate the Nine Curve Dao in his hand?" ”
He glanced at the black mole in Xiao Liu Xi's palm again, his eyes turned in his sockets, and then he shook his head and said, "The nine-song flue has been completed, if it doesn't reach the heart." My old man still knows how to block it, but unfortunately now that the flue is complete, I can't do anything other than find the person who controls the koadpan. ”
After listening to the words of no return, Xiao Liu Xi's face showed a trace of gloom. After seeing Xiao Liu Xi's expression, Xiao Rensan walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Put your heart in your stomach, there are those two old guys, don't say it's a Jiuqu worm, even if it's a Jiuqu worm, you can't help you." But if there is one in Wanli, the two of them really don't look at you. What, did you leave that armor for me......"
"I thought that Mr. Ren would ask for the wine in the palace" I was used to hearing Xiao Ren San call Gui Bu Gui as an old immortal in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and I also knew that he was an open-mouthed master. At that moment, Xiao Liuxi, the king of Huainan, was not annoyed, and said to Xiao Rensan: "It's just a pair of armor, Mr. Ren can take it if he likes it, and he doesn't have to wait until there is a time in ten thousand miles." ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Liu Xi asked people to take their armor. He also found a craftsman in the palace to maintain the armor, and changed the armor to a size that Xiao Ren San could wear. Just when Xiao Rensan put on his armor and jumped around in the inner hall, the chief attendant of the palace came back to restore his life. Of the four hundred and nineteen men of the whole king's house, twenty-one were sick. In order to prevent someone from having a hidden illness, the chief steward took the doctor in the house to check it himself, and finally determined that only these twenty-one people were suffering from the disease.
Now these twenty-one people are gathered in an empty room in the backyard of the palace, under the care of the sergeant of the school lieutenant's office. After the chief chamberlain submitted the list, he asked if he wanted to invite Wu Mian and the two gentlemen to go over to screen it. Unexpectedly, the ten-year-old Huainan King's face sank, and he didn't look at the list in front of him, and said, "Screening? What else needs to be screened? All 21 people were killed, and they were reported to have died of a violent illness and received preferential pensions. When you go to prison, you have to put your head on the ground, and after you have checked the head, you come back to your life. ”
These twenty-one people are all subordinates in the Huainan Palace, and they are usually serving the Huainan King who is not yet an adult. I didn't expect this ten-year-old child to kill when he said it, and he didn't miss the old feelings at all.
The chief waiter did not hesitate at all, and turned around and left after a "promise". Seeing that he was about to leave the inner hall, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui glanced at each other, and then the old guy smiled at Xiao Liu Xi and said, "Your Highness, it's better to check it out." At the very least, it can be determined that the person who controlled the Nine-Curve is one of the people, and if that person uses trickery to cover up his emergency, he is not among the twenty-one people. Then sooner or later it will be a big problem. It's just to take a look at the past, Wu Mian stays here, and I am fortunate to be an old man. ”
The words of whether to return or not to return to the heart of King Huainan were spoken, and he hurriedly called the chief attendant, and then respectfully said to the return or not: "Then you have to worry about returning to Mr., and Mr. needs to find the inner servant for everything." Thieves are scheming, and gentlemen should be careful not to hurt your body. After saying that, he instructed the chief of the chamberlain to take everything to the requirement of returning, and Mr. Gui's words were his king's orders.
After a few polite words, he followed the chief attendant and left the inner hall. Half an hour later, the old man scurried back to the inner hall. After coming in, he said directly to the King of Huainan: "I have checked the twenty-one old people, and none of them are the ones who control the Nine Curve Worms. There were people in there who were contagious, and now my old man has released them all. The province finally affected His Highness......"
"There is Mr. Lao Gui" Hearing that the person who controlled the Nine Curved Worms was not but alone, King Huainan's face instantly became a little ugly. After a pause, he continued: "Then could the person controlling the Nine-Curved Worm have already left the palace, or is he not in the palace at all?" ”
"No, there are many restrictions on controlling the Nine Curves, and if you leave the palace, you will not be able to control it." Returning or not returning shook his head with a smile, and after glancing at Wu Mian next to him, the old guy continued: "When I went out just now, I also found a few interesting things in the old man's house, but this thing is a bit dangerous. Your Highness, just look at it, don't touch it. ”
As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his bosom. Then a black stone the size of a chess piece was poured out through the cloth pocket, and even if I looked at it, I couldn't see anything wrong with it. However, Wu Mian's face next to him was a little stiff, and he glanced at whether he would return or not, and said to the old guy before King Huainan spoke: "Where did you find it?" It can't be just outside the inner hall, right? ”
He smiled, nodded and said, "You guessed it right, when I went out, I haven't seen this gadget yet." But when I came back, I saw that the pebble had been thrown into the flower bed outside. If it weren't for the old man's good eyesight, I would have almost missed my eye. ”
"I haven't ...... when I came" Wu Mian sneered, and after glancing at King Huainan, whose face was a little stiff, he stopped speaking.
"Your Highness wants to ask about the origin of this stone, right? In fact, His Royal Highness doesn't ask, I will also say it to the old man. After grinning his teeth, he continued: "This stone is actually a Horcrux, and there are countless unjust ghosts locked in it. It is not visible during the day, but at night when it is illuminated by the moonlight, the soul locked inside will come out. But these souls are nothing, but if they occupy the bodies of those sergeants outside and break into the inner hall, at this time, the person who controls the Jiuqu worm is doing something, I'm afraid it will really be bad for His Highness......"
The words of returning or not returning had just been finished, and before Xiao Liu Xi could speak. The chief attendant walked in with a somewhat flustered face. He said to King Huainan: "Your Highness, the deputy envoy sent by the imperial court suddenly died just now, and the imperial envoy has been in chaos. Just as Lord Liu Jing wants to see His Royal Highness, he wants His Highness to give an explanation......"
