Chapter 293: Wind and Rain (Three More Requests for Pink Tickets!) )
Eight men and women dressed in ordinary clothes sat in a very ordinary-looking house. xstxt..
In front of everyone was a six-petal lotus cup with a simple shape.
The cup was filled with a bright red liquid.
"It's been almost a thousand years since our ancestors left the temple and came to Great Xia to hide and settle down." Lu Langzhong of the Shengguo Mansion said with emotion.
He picked up the six-petal lotus cup, took a sip of the liquid in the cup, closed his eyes and groaned.
"I thought it was hopeless." Chef Fan of Zheng Guogong's Mansion also picked up the six-petal lotus cup and took a sip.
They come from the elite eight surnames among the fallen people, Lu, Luo, Fan, Fan, Pang, Rui, Chi, and Sun, and they are very few ethnic groups among the fallen people who can combine with the ordinary people of Daxia and reproduce offspring.
But they and their descendants still can't escape the end of a short life and a scarcity of offspring.
When the eight surnames were in the Temple of the Fallen People, when they got the Apocalypse, left the Temple, and hid among the ordinary people of Great Xia, there were hundreds of people in each surname.
But until now, there is only one person left in each surname.
And none of the eight of them has been able to reproduce offspring.
And they're approaching the thirty-year-old mark.
If there is no Mandate before the age of thirty, they will only die.
Then the elite eight surnames hidden among the ordinary people of Great Xia will all die.
"Yesterday's thunder, everyone heard it. For the first time in thousands of years, such a calling has appeared. Chi Ma of the Divine General's Mansion slammed the table hard, with a sinister look in his eyes.
All eight of them were silent.
Not only did they hear the thunder, but they also awakened memories that were hidden deep in their souls. And. I saw that thrilling scene......
"The Mandate of Heaven showed us. The Fallen were once truly exterminated. Therefore, in this life, we must not fail, and we must not let the high priest give his life in vain. ”
As they spoke, they stood up together, bowed in the northwest direction, and bowed.
When she looked up, Chef Fan of Zheng Guogong's Mansion said in a low voice: "The first thing we have to do is to get rid of one person. ”
Seven other people looked at her together.
"You mean...... Zheng Suxin, who grabbed the purple glaze? Chef Fan said thoughtfully.
Chef Fan nodded. "She owes us so much, we can't spare her this time!"
The two of them have been hiding in the Zheng Guo Mansion for many years, but they don't even know each other's identities.
It wasn't until last night that they suddenly came to their senses.
"It caused the Mandate of Heaven to almost fail to come to this world, and caused us to almost be wiped out...... No, it was really extinct once. If such a sea of blood is not avenged, what face do we have to stay between heaven and earth? What kind of face do we have to meet the Mandate of Heaven?! ”
The other seven nodded together.
"It's fine. After doing this, we just got out and went to the Divine General's Mansion. As he spoke, the six people who were not in the Divine General's Mansion looked at Chi Ma Ling and Sun Ma Ling, who were already working as horses in the Divine General Mansion.
Chi Ma Ling and Sun Ma Ling grinned. "What do you think we do?" We are raising horses in the horse yard, do you all have to follow us to raise horses? ”
"Lu Langzhong and Luo Langzhong. Do you heal horses? Chef Fan and Chef Fan, do you cook for horses? Pang and Rui, do you need to make accounts for the horses? Chi Ma Ling arrived at these six people one by one, and at the end, he shook his head and said: "Okay, I know that you all have great skills, where do you need our brothers to intervene?" Anyway, after doing this, let's meet at the Divine General's Mansion. ”
The other six glared at both of them in unison, but without retorting, they turned the subject elsewhere.
“…… Zheng Suxin now lives in the annex of Wu Guogongfu. Two bookkeepers, do you have a way to get specific information? Lu Lang asked in a low voice.
Pang and Rui looked at each other and threw out a ledger on the table.
"Look at this book. This is the amount of time that the annex has spent this month. From this account book, it can be analyzed how many people are there, what level of people are in the Wu State Mansion, and whether there is any secret ambush there. Rui said as he patted the account book in front of him.
"Is there or isn't there? I said an ambush in the shadows? Luo Langzhong frowned and asked.
"Absolutely." Rui's account room looked at Luo Langzhong with a look of "no secret guard, you are a fool".
"But it doesn't matter. To others, they are an ambush in the shadows. But for those of us who do the bookkeeping, it's clearly there. Pang Ledger disagreed.
Even the most powerful killer guards have to make money, eat, and support their families.
As long as it is a person under the command of the Duke of Wu, these two account offices can find clues from the account books.
Moreover, with Wu Guogong's habit of comparing baht, it is impossible for him to raise some people who are not in the account books.
"That's good. How many people are in total, the eight of us will divide them first, and each person will be responsible for a few. Lu Langzhong is faintly the leader of these eight people.
"According to the apocalypse, the day we can kill Zheng Suxin is at midnight five days later. - Only five days, can't you prepare? ”
"Don't say it's five days, even if you have to do it tonight, it's no problem." Chef Fan said proudly, slapping a kitchen knife on the table.
Everyone stared at her kitchen knife and said strangely, "...... You're not going to kill Zheng Suxin with this kitchen knife, are you? ”
"Of course...... Precisely! What's wrong? Don't look down on this kitchen knife. Chef Fan raised the kitchen knife and said proudly, "This is forged with the high priest's scimitar." The power is not insignificant. ”
Everyone looked at the kitchen knife that was still stained with a piece of vegetable powder, and then thought about the scimitar of the fallen high priest who had been in their memory, and changed the topic a little uncomfortably.
“…… If there are no objections, everyone will disperse. You have all remembered the names of these secret guards in the Wu Family's Courtyard and their addresses, right? Lu Langzhong coughed and knocked on the table in front of him.
"Remembered." Everyone got up together and arched their hands at Lu Langzhong.
……
Zhaowang's Mansion.
King Zhao sat in the study, looking at the file in front of him.
"Lord Wang. How are you going to make a move? Wang Yixing asked in a low voice beside him.
King Zhao closed the file. Pondered for a long time. He said in a deep voice: "Have you done everything I asked you to do?" ”
"That's it." Wang Yixing said, standing straight and straight in front of King Zhao's bookcase, "Wu Changge's outer room Aunt Qin, and her fifteen-year-old son Wu Zhaoguan, will return to the Wu Mansion in five days to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. Wu Guogong has sent a large invitation for this, inviting relatives and friends from all walks of life to come to eat and drink, and also to be a witness. ”
King Zhao scoffed. Nodding his head, "You're pretty good." Can Old Man Wu put on such a big battle? ”
An outer room has returned to the sect, making such a big fuss, and I'm not afraid that he won't be able to marry a decent high-ranking lady in the future? !
Originally, his conditions were good, regardless of his background, family background, or Wu Changge's appearance.
But as soon as he divorced his wife, a fifteen-year-old outer room popped up, and he couldn't say anything about it.
Old Man Wu was indeed prescient.
As soon as Zheng Suxin rested, he immediately took the title of the prince of Wu Guogong of Wu Changge, and asked the prince to be conferred on his second son, Wu Changfeng.
Wu Changfeng's wife, Yin Xiuyan, is from the Jiangzuo Yin family. It's only a little inferior to Zheng Guogong's Mansion.
has her as the wife of the clan and the wife of the prince, not much worse than Zheng Suxin.
Wang Yixing smiled. Didn't speak.
Only now do he understand that there are unsightly thoughts in these wealthy families.
Even if it is as close as father and son, husband and wife, there are more times to calculate, and less time to get close.
Old Man Wu knew that such a big fanfare for Wu Changge's outer room to return to the sect and feast on his grandson was actually blocking Wu Changge's way to marry a decent wife in the future.
Since the sons of the Duke of Wu have all been inherited by the second son, who else is willing to let Wu Changge marry another wife who is very powerful? - Isn't that to make the house restless, and the two people in the house are fighting to the death?!
Therefore, Old Man Wu would rather let Changfang be completely weak.
Only when the eldest room is in a mess can we ensure that it does not add blockage to the second room that inherits the position of the son.
Wang Yixing pondered for a while before he understood.
Old man Wu looks like a businessman who is kind and wealthy, and no one can offend him, but in fact, when the strong man broke his wrist, he was not ambiguous at all, and without saying a word, he abolished Wu Changge, the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest man.
"That's good. Five days later, there will be a big feast in the Wu State Mansion, and you must make sure that the main people of the Wu State Mansion are at the banquet, and do not come out to cause trouble for me. King Zhao put away his smile and said grimly.
Wang Yixing owes a debt, "Don't worry, the prince." The subordinates have already arranged it. On the prince's side, do you want your subordinates to take a look again? ”
"No need. You just have to do your thing. "King Zhao brought tea to the guests.
He wants to avenge Xiangrong with his own hands, but if he can't take revenge with his own hands, he will not be at peace in his life!
……
The study in the outer courtyard of the Divine General's Mansion.
Zhou Huaixuan stood in front of a map hanging on the wall, looking at it with his hands behind his back.
Zhou Xianbai stood beside him, pointed to several places on the map, and said, "Here, here, and here, there are secret guards. Our people have already started digging tunnels, and they want to bypass these secret guards and dig directly under the Wu family's courtyard. ”
Zhou Huaixuan nodded, "Go check it out, and cook it if you can." After a pause, "I don't want to see these irrelevant people on the day I do it." ”
Zhou Xianbai grinned, "Don't worry, eldest prince, your subordinates have sent someone to investigate this matter." After a pause, there was a hint of confusion on his face, "However, my subordinates have found out that someone is also doing something to these secret guards. As of today, there have been sixteen secret guards who have suddenly had an accident in their homes. I coincidentally asked for leave and couldn't go on duty. - The staff on the side of the Wu family's courtyard is getting less and less. ”
Zhou Huaixuan let out an "um" and asked again: "Did Qin Tianjian ask about it?" What has the weather been like in recent days? ”
Zhou Xianbai took out a file from his arms, "This is something I asked for from Qin Tianjian." I heard Lord Wang Qinian of Qin Tianjian say that there will be a thunderstorm that has not been seen in a hundred years after the fifth day, so let's be careful not to go under the big tree, we will be struck by lightning. ”
"Five days later? Wouldn't that be the day when Wu Changge's outer chamber returned to the sect? Zhou Huaixuan picked up an invitation card from the bookcase.
It was sent by the Wu Guogong Mansion.
Zhou Xianbai looked at it and nodded, "Exactly." After speaking, he pursed his lips, "This uncle of the Wu family, his brain is really not so bright." It's just an outer room, even if you recognize him and go to the family tree, you don't need to show off your grandson, right? With such a thing, is it possible for Uncle Wu to marry a decent wife in the future? ”
Zhou Huaixuan was not surprised at all, threw the invitation on the table, and said lightly: "Of course, I don't want him to marry." ”
What Old Man Wu did was to let people outside see that he had given up on this eldest son.
Therefore, if you want to fight Wu Changge's idea and marry the Wu family, you can stop fighting.
No matter which family is high, after seeing the grand feast of Wu Changge's return to the sect, he will not be willing to marry his daughter to him. - Such a Wu Changge has no future at all.
……
Two days later, the weather in the capital changed from sunny to depressed, and it began to rain.
No matter how much rain there is in May, no one cares too much.
Zheng Suxin sat in the octagonal pavilion of the Wu family's courtyard, looking at the rain scene in the courtyard and the green lotus blooming in the pond, smiling very gently.
She still couldn't move or speak, but she was better than she had been two days before.
She didn't realize that there were already three groups of people gradually approaching her......
