Chapter 20: I'll Give Them a Reason They Can't Refuse!
Seeing Bai Jiu's strange performance, Wang Dong was a little confused, and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?"
Bai Jiu gradually regained consciousness, looked at Wang Dong, and said, "I, I just heard them discussing how to set a trap to catch the head uncle and her two brothers. ”
"Who sets the trap?"
Bai Jiu shook his head, "I don't know." ”
“...... So where did you hear that?"
"Just now after you slapped my head, I suddenly fainted for a while, and then I heard someone talking in my ears, saying that they were going to use the fake Prime Minister Cui Cheng to lure them to rob the Dharma field, and then catch them ......all."
Wang Dong was shocked and said, "You kid has clear eyebrows, and you still have the ability to follow the wind?"
Bai Jiu was dazed, "I don't know......"
"Then listen again and see what else you can hear. ”
Bai Jiu listened attentively, but only heard the mountain wind blowing slowly, the insects and birds in the forest, and did not hear any more human voices.
He looked at the king and shook his head, and suddenly he had an idea, and said, "You pat my head again." ”
Wang Dong did so, stretched out his hand and patted Bai Jiu's head three times, but it still had no effect.
"And the sentence you just said......"
Wang Dong repeated the sentence just now: "What's the matter with you, little brother?"
......
Still didn't react, looking like two people were playing tricks on each other.
"It seems that this skill has some kind of restriction and cannot be triggered at any time......"
Wang Dong was no longer entangled, "Forget it, let's talk about it next time I meet it, the news you just heard is enough to make a conclusion." ”
I went through the matter again in my mind and asked, "Ah Jiu, do you know your uncle's family?"
Bai Jiu nodded, "Yes, one year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the envoys of the Eight Prefectures gathered in Liangzhou and held a moon appreciation competition, and the head uncle specially took us to open our eyes......"
"Well, take me. Wang said.
"Huh?"
"I'm going to meet my future brother-in-law. Wang Dong said thoughtfully.
"Oh. ”
The two left the back mountain, Bai Jiu first went to report to the master, and then applied for two horses and rushed to Liangzhou City with Wang Dong.
Judging from the information currently available, Wang Dong can basically conclude two things:
First, Prime Minister Cui Cheng has been killed, and the so-called beheading is just a pretense;
Second, the Jade Queen and the Nine Princes have decided to cut down the grass and eradicate the Cui family, and set a trap in the capital to wait for them to throw themselves into the net.
However, Cui Shuangyu's eldest brother Cui Xiaokuan, as the envoy of the Liangzhou Festival, has a great deal to do, and he will not leave Liangzhou easily, even if he wants to go to the capital to save his father in person, he will be prepared, so Wang Dong concluded that he has not left Liangzhou City at this time.
And Wang Dong went to see him now to persuade him not to go to the capital.
It took less than half a day to travel from the Red Line Gang to Liangzhou City, when entering the city, Bai Jiu showed his identity as a disciple of the Red Line Gang, and the road was unimpeded, and it didn't take long to arrive at Cui's Mansion, Bai Jiu said to the soldiers guarding the door: "I'm tired of going in and reporting that my uncle is back." ”
The soldiers guarding the gate recognized the identity of the disciples of the White Nine Red Line Gang, but they didn't know when the third lady got married, and asked, "What uncle?"
Bai Jiu said: "Uncle Master of the head of the sect has worshiped the patriarch of his sect with Wang Gongzi not long ago and married him, why, you still don't know?"
Several soldiers guarding the gate shook their heads, "The third young lady has not been summoned back......"
As they spoke, they looked at Wang Dong together.
Bai Jiu was a little embarrassed, such a major event as getting married, the head of the family uncle didn't even notify the family, it seems that he really didn't take this family matter to heart, thinking of this, he actually felt a little sympathy for Wang Dong inexplicably.
Wang Dong walked over with a calm face and said: "Yu'er and I are both from the rivers and lakes, why do we need to act according to the red tape of the world? My father-in-law is trapped in the capital at this time, and Yu'er has already gone to the rescue alone. ”
Wang Dong's words were both rigid and soft, and they were to the point, and the soldiers guarding the door did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly went in to report, and came out soon to invite Wang Dong and Bai Jiu into the house.
As Wang Dong expected, Cui Xiaokuan really stayed in Liangzhou, and at this time he was discussing countermeasures with the strategists and generals in the palace, and when he saw Wang Dong and Bai Jiu coming in, he didn't say a word, and stared at them with burning eyes.
Cui Xiaokuan is tall and powerful, and he is a martial arts master who has picked up the star realm, plus he has been killed for a long time and has strong blood, just staring at people like that will also cause great pressure to people.
Bai Jiu was a little nervous, but he still saluted Cui Xiaokuan with a respectful attitude: "Meet the general." ”
Cui Xiaokuan raised his hand slightly, and his eyes fell on Wang Dong.
"In Xia Wang Dong, I won't gossip, according to the information I have gotten, most of the Prime Minister Ling Zun Cui has been killed by the Jade Queen and the Nine Kings, the reason why he ......"
"What did you say?!"
As soon as Wang Dong spoke, he was interrupted by Cui Xiaokuan's angry roar.
"The Nine Kings and the Jade Queen have usurped the throne, and Prime Minister Cui Cheng has the evidence, and they have killed and killed them. Wang Dong stated in a calm tone.
As soon as these words came out, the whole house was shocked.
"Little brother, where did you get this news from?"
A middle-aged scholar in a green coat asked in front of Cui Xiaokuan.
"I am a bad person, and I specialize in collecting information in the capital. The king repeated the lie.
The scholar said: "You told her the news that 'Prime Minister Cui Cheng is in danger' that came back from the third lady before?"
"That's right. ”
The scholar looked at Cui Xiaokuan, who had a blue face and gritted his teeth: "This news may not be accurate, even if it is ...... The news is true, Shuangyu and Yingying are in the capital, and I can't ignore them. ”
Cui Yingying is the second lady of Cui Fu, who is known as the "first talented woman in the world", that is, the second sister of Cui Xiaokuan, the second sister of Cui Shuangyu, and the crown princess appointed by the first emperor Tang Yong.
Cui Yingying went to the capital with her father in her early years, and stayed in the boudoir, but later because of the discord between her father and the Jade Queen, she was unable to complete the marriage with the prince, and now the two families have formed a blood feud, and this marriage contract will naturally be stopped.
The scholar said: "If you go, you will not be saved, and if you don't go, there is still a glimmer of life." ”
Only then did Wang Dong know that the scholar was also persuading Cui Xiaokuan, and took the opportunity to continue: "They are in a hurry to kill Prime Minister Cui in order to extinguish their mouths, as for the two girls, they are not a big threat to them, but they can be used to threaten you, so as long as you stay in Liangzhou, their lives will not be in danger for the time being." ”
"What the prince said is very true!" said the scholar, "The nine kings of the Jade Queen have usurped the throne and lost the treasure of the Son of Heaven, once the news comes out, the world will be in chaos, and then the general will have the opportunity to deal with them and wait for the opportunity to rescue the two girls." ”
Cui Xiaokuan was silent.
Wang Dong was touched by the words "Treasure of the Son of Heaven", and said: "Maybe you don't have to wait until that time." ”
"What do you mean by this?" the middle-aged scholar asked.
"And ask General Cui to hold his troops for the time being, and in two days, news will come from the capital, and General Cui can send an envoy to the capital to persuade the Jade Queen and the Nine Kings to release the two girls. ”
Cui Xiaokuan said: "Unless you exchange my head, how can they release people so easily?"
Wang Dong said: "I will give them a reason that they can't refuse." ”
"What reason?"
Wang Dong didn't answer, and said, "The general can continue to send people to the capital to inquire about the news, and it would be best if he could see Miss Cui before she was arrested." ”
The middle-aged scholar said: "The third batch of spies has been dispatched, I hope it will be in time." ”
Wang Dong nodded, hugged his fists and said goodbye: "I'll go back and wait for Master Luo first, and then come back to visit in two days." ”
After saying that he was leaving, Cui Xiaokuan suddenly asked: "Wang Gongzi, just now the guards outside the door came to report that you and your sister have worshiped the red line ancestor and become relatives, what's going on?"
Wang Dong said: "When Miss Cui comes back, you can ask her yourself." ”
After that, he took Bai Jiu and left.
At the same time as the two of them left Cui's mansion, Cui Shuangyu, who was in the capital, and several companions happened to sneak into the prime minister's mansion, but before they had time to explore the mansion further, three young girls who looked exactly the same, with bells on their wrists and plum blossom prints painted on their foreheads and eyebrows, appeared in front of them.
The three twin sisters stood in three directions, expressionless and silent.
Cui Shuangyu and others are like facing a great enemy.
Jingle Bell ......
A string of soul-stirring bells rang suddenly, and everyone was thrilled to hear it.
The next moment, three phantoms flashed in front of their eyes, and the three sisters disappeared from their place.
Disappeared with them was Cui Shuangyu!
When they came to their senses, they heard a string of bells far away.
......
Wang Dong returned to Zhaochuan Xiaozhu's room, closed the door, found the treasure of the Son of Heaven, and then opened the package layer by layer, and saw a blue-black box, which was equipped with an extremely mysterious mechanism, Wang Dong could not open it, reached out and rubbed it on the box, and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded in my head:
[The rivers and lakes are like a reverse journey, you are also a pedestrian, welcome to the horror of the rivers and lakes......]
Wang Dong immediately put away all his thoughts and lay on the bed with the box.
