Chapter 8: Conspiracy
Feeling the chill of his vest, the one-eyed man couldn't help but look back at the stairs on the second floor, and immediately turned three steps into two steps, and quickly walked out of Dechun Building. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dechun Lou is very famous in Gufeng City, not only because it is more luxurious than other restaurants, and the diners who come in and out are not blessed and expensive, but more importantly, the owner behind it is Xu Liang, the supervisor of Wucheng County.
The Imperial Supervisor is mainly responsible for supervising the people and officials, and is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
However, the prison history has the right to report and expose and directly secret, so the local officials do not want to be offended. And the person who spoke in the private room just now was Xu Liang, the superintendent of Wucheng County.
In addition to Xu Liang, there was also a mysterious man wearing a hat and a black scarf masking his face sitting in the private room.
The two of them did not distinguish between priorities and sat at a table of eight immortals at random, which shows that the identity and status of the masked man are not under Xu Liang, at least the two have no relationship between superiors and subordinates.
"Humph! Che Zhenshan is also too conceited, and he only brought five guards after traveling hundreds of miles, isn't this looking for death? In the quiet private room, Xu Liang's hoarse voice sounded again,
Xu Liang is relatively thin and thin, around thirty, not tall, plus his voice is like a duck, and he looks like a sharp-billed monkey gills, giving people a gloomy feeling.
In contrast, the masked man is much better, although the face towel covers most of his face, making it difficult to see the whole picture, but his body shape is several times stronger than Xu Liang.
After listening to Xu Liang's words, the masked man snorted lightly in his nose, glanced at Xu Liang, and ignored it.
Seeing this, Xu Liang was a little unhappy and asked, "What?" Your Excellency thinks that the people sent by this official can't deal with the five guards with knives and Che Zhenshan? ”
"He Che Zhenshan is just a martial arts level captain, and the other five guards are only martial artists at most, this official not only invited a martial arts master, but the other ten people are all martial artists, and it is more than enough to kill him with just one captain!"
Xu Liang was full of confidence, thinking that the masked man would be surprised, but unexpectedly, the masked man still looked at him coldly, and unceremoniously poured cold water on him: "Everything is just your wishful thinking, I dare to bet with you, this time you will also fail miserably." ”
"How so?" Xu Liang was a little unconvinced, got up and came to the masked man, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, put them on the table, and said: "Your Excellency doesn't need to play tricks in front of this official, I understand the rules of Tiange if you ask for it, don't you just ask for money, here are five thousand taels of silver, let's talk about it quickly." ”
Wentian Pavilion is a very mysterious organization, the owner of the pavilion is called the Son of Heaven, it is said that the upper knows the destiny of heaven, the lower knows the mortal dust, and there is almost nothing in the world that he does not know.
No one knows the real name of Tong Tianzi, only that he founded a special intelligence organization - Wentian Pavilion.
And what he himself looks like, what characteristics he has, whether he is male or female, no one knows.
Even when asking about the specific location of the Heavenly Pavilion, there were not many people who knew it, and these people were very strict in their mouths and never confided in them.
The masked man glanced at the silver ticket on the table, nodded, and said, "First of all, those invited by Lord Xu are just the so-called masters who have passed the Phantom Stone test, and compared with Che Zhenshan, who has experienced the rain of arrows in Dao Mountain, they are not on the same level at all; Secondly, do you really think that those five guards with swords are only at the level of martial artists? Plus you don't count people, it's no wonder if you're undefeated! ”
"Counting fewer people?" Xu Liang frowned and asked, "Your Excellency mean Che Wu and those two house slaves?" ”
The masked man nodded and said, "Che Wu can only do a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu, so don't worry." But one of the two house slaves is called Laifu, and the real identity of this person is actually the commander of the infantry battalion of the Kurosaki Army. ”
"Ahh That...... What is the identity of the other house slave? No...... Wouldn't it be the commander of a battalion? Xu Liang was indeed shocked by this sudden news, and his speech began to be a little uncomfortable.
And the masked man didn't care about Xu Liang's reaction at all, and said to himself: "The other house slave is called Lin Kong, an orphan who was knocked down by Che Zhenshan's carriage and brought back to Chefu, this person was originally a slave of the Hidden Dragon Mountain Sacrifice Spiritual Village, and later heard that he jumped off the cliff and died, why he is still alive is still a mystery." ”
"Huh! It turns out that there are also things that you don't know when you ask Tiange! Xu Liang showed a sarcastic expression, stretched out his hand to the table, and gently picked up a silver ticket to take it back.
Unexpectedly, the masked man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he snatched it like lightning, and together with the rest of the silver tickets, quickly put them in his arms, got up, and walked towards the door.
As soon as he walked to the door, he seemed to think of something again, turned around and said: "Don't think that Che Zhenshan is not there, so the idea of going to the Duwei Mansion, those house slaves are not as simple as they seem, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, especially that Steward Wu." ”
After speaking, the masked man directly pushed the door and walked out, and by the time Xu Liang recovered from the shock, the other party had already disappeared without a trace.
"The people who ask Tiange are all so virtuous, they take the money and run faster than a rabbit, and Lao Tzu hasn't finished asking yet!" Xu Liang yelled at the door, looking at the empty corridor, angry and angry.
It's a pity that others have long gone away, and no matter how dissatisfied Xu Liang is, he is helpless, so he has to turn around and shout: "Come on!" ”
The second floor, which was originally empty, appeared at the moment when Xu Liang's shouts sounded, and two young men dressed as small servants appeared.
"What do you command?" The two little guys stood respectfully in front of Xu Liang, without half a superfluous word, like puppets.
Xu Liang didn't even look at the two of them, he still looked at the direction where the masked man disappeared, and said through gritted teeth: "Quickly send someone to support Xu Zhao, be sure to be in the area of Hungry Wolf Ridge, so that Che Zhenshan is in a different place, and there must be no mistake." ”
"Whoa!"
※※※
Hungry Wolf Ridge is more than 100 miles away from the Langli Grand Canyon, where the mountains are high and the forests are dense, the roads are rugged, and there are tigers and wolves from time to time.
When Lin Kong and the others arrived at Hungry Wolf Ridge, it was already half a month later, and everyone was a little tired from the dust.
However, with Che Zhenshan personally leading the team, the journey is quite smooth so far, and Che Wu did not do anything out of the ordinary, but talked and laughed with Lin Kong, looking very harmonious.
As for the black cat, I don't know what the reason is, but I didn't say a word, and always lay quietly in Che Wu's arms.
"Alright! Get off the horse. Hungry Wolf Ridge is ahead, let's rest here for the night, and then continue our journey after dawn. After Che Zhenshan finished speaking, he dismounted first and decided not to move forward.
There were still two hours before dark, and Che Zhenshan suddenly chose to camp at this time, which was obviously unreasonable.
Lin Kong looked around, except for the area around them, which was quite open, the road in front of them was almost sandwiched between cliffs, and the sides of the road were covered with wild grasses more than one person high, and it was very dense.
"Could it be that Che Zhenshan is worried about encountering wolves, tigers and leopards?" Lin Kong retracted his gaze, and couldn't help but have such a question in his mind.
But Che Zhenshan's words were orders, he said that no one dared to object to camp in place, and everyone silently dismounted, and none of them stepped forward to inquire about the reason, and they were busy setting up tents and cooking in the pot.
It was even more impossible for Lin Kong to ask Che Zhenshan, and he was ready to go to help after getting off the horse, but he didn't want to be stopped by Che Zhenshan: "Lin Kong! Just let them do it, you don't have to go before your injuries are healed, come and talk to me. ”
"Yes, sir!" Although Lin Kong's wrist was wrapped in bandages, in fact, the injury had already healed, and when Che Zhenshan said this, his face suddenly became hot, and he felt very embarrassed.
"Master, the small injury is almost healed, I believe it will be fully recovered in two days." Respectfully came to Che Zhenshan, Lin Kong lowered his head and deliberately shrunk his hand in his sleeve, for fear that Che Zhenshan would check his injuries.
Unexpectedly, Che Zhenshan didn't mean anything at all, just glanced at Lin Kong, and said, "Well, that's good!" Raising horses in the barracks is also a chore, if you have an injury, you can't do it, take advantage of these days to hurry, you take care of it again, come and sit down! ”
As a slave, Lin Kong dared to sit with Che Zhenshan, and quickly shook his head: "No...... You don't have to, just stand small. ”
Che Zhenshan no longer persuaded each other, glanced in the direction of Hungry Wolf Ridge, turned around and asked, "Lin Kong, if we suddenly encounter an ambush when we pass through Hungry Wolf Ridge, what do you say we should do?" ”
"Ambush?" Lin Kong was a little confused.
He didn't know if Che Zhenshan's so-called "ambush" was just a military exam question between gossip, or if he was testing his loyalty.
After thinking about it, Lin Kong felt that it should be both, because many masters liked to test their slaves in this way, testing their wit and loyalty.
So Lin Kong cautiously replied: "The master's kindness Lin Kong is unforgettable, if there is really any danger ahead, the little one is willing to sacrifice his life to protect each other, and will never retreat half a step." ”
"That's what you think?" Che Zhenshan looked at Lin Kong in a daze, with some doubt and disappointment in his eyes.
Lin Kong kept standing with his head bowed respectfully, not noticing Che Zhenshan's eyes, and opened his mouth without thinking too much: "Lin Kong's words come from the bottom of his heart, and there is no half-heartedness. ”
"Excellent! You go and dance with the car, the old man wants to be alone. After Che Zhenshan finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Lin Kong, and lowered his head alone to ponder, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
"Yes!"
Lin Konggong stepped back, feeling that Che Zhenshan was a little strange today, obviously asked him to come over and chat with him, but he asked him to leave after just saying a few words, which was very abnormal.
"Could it be that Che Zhenshan found something? Is there really an ambush ahead? Thinking of this, Lin Kong suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Che Zhenshan, and saw that Che Zhenshan had already stood up and slowly walked in the direction of Hungry Wolf Ridge.
At this time, Lin Kong was even more sure of his thoughts, Che Zhenshan must have discovered something abnormal, and was ready to go to explore the road in person.
Just when Lin Kong looked at Che Zhenshan suspiciously, and his thoughts fluctuated, a white shadow was like lightning, passing past everyone at an unimaginable speed.
The speed of the white shadow was so fast that even Che Zhenshan didn't notice it, if it weren't for the fact that the other party paused a little when he passed by Lin Kong's side, it is estimated that even Lin Kong would not feel anything abnormal.
