Chapter Ninety-Eight: Ambition
The people in the room had dispersed, and there were only Tang Ba and Nuo Yi in the room, as well as the witches who had cleaned up the scene, Wu Zu, Cha Bu and Du Qian were standing outside the door and didn't know what to say.
Hearing the news that the impromptu Ban Dawu was dead, Tang Ba was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, she had a good impression of this old man, but she didn't expect to die suddenly.
No wonder Nuoyi's eyes are still red.
Tang Ba tilted his head to look at Nuo Yi, but he didn't expect Nuo Yi to be looking at her too!
Nuo Yi had a cold face, but the words he asked were different from his face, "Are you okay?"
"It's fine. "Tang Ba is no longer angry with Nuoyi, plus this person has lost ...... Master, another layer of sympathy was added to his eyes.
I wanted to say "festival mourning", but unfortunately the people here don't have such words, and they are thinking about how to comfort them, Nuo Yi asked again.
"Are you sure?"
Nuo Yi glanced at the stone wall meaningfully, and Tang Ba also looked at it, and then glanced at Nuo Yi fiercely.
You shouldn't have sympathy for this man.
Tang Ba glanced at Wu Shi, who was cleaning up the scene, and suddenly remembered what Blind Wind had told her, turned around and walked towards the door, and when he passed by Nuo Yi's side, he lowered his voice and said very quickly: "Be careful." ”
After saying that, she walked to the door as if nothing happened, she wanted to apply for a change of room, this one, unlucky.
Nuo Yi looked at Tang Ba's back with a complicated expression, these four words were the second time he had heard them.
That is, Ban Dawu told him these four words with his last breath before he died, "Be careful!"
The light of the fire flickered and dimmed, and the two people sitting across the table were half in the shadows and half orange.
The two bowls of rice water on the table were already cold, and a thin layer of slag had settled at the bottom of the bowl, and the water floating on them was quite clear.
"Are you sure it was Arsen who killed you?"
"Yes. ”
The questioner stood up, holding the hilt of the sword in one hand and pacing back and forth on his waist with the other, "It seems that the broken islands are also involved, what are they going to do?!"
The other did not answer, as if he were not in the house at all.
"I have to confirm what happened to Yao Sheng, so you can help me bring him a message. After speaking, he walked to the bookcase, pulled out a tree coat, and took out a pen to write.
After writing a letter between the dragon and the phoenix, he rolled it up and handed it to another person, and said solemnly: "It must be sent to Yao Sheng, and Devis's matter will be hard for you." ”
"The Great. The man stood up, "I can only do my best, after all, with my identity, it is impossible to enter and leave the palace at will." ”
Seeing Yao Chu nodded, this person took it with both hands and put it into the cuffs.
"There's one more thing I need you to help me with. Yao Chu said.
"The emperor knows about me, if it is to investigate and deliver news, I will do my best, and other things ......"
Yao Chu patted this person on the shoulder, and this person immediately stopped talking.
"I won't embarrass you. Yao Chu said: "Just let you check someone for me in Devis." ”
You say. ”
"Tamba. Yao Chu motioned for the other party to sit down, and continued: "She is a witch disciple of Chabu, about 14 witch priests, and she seems to be very popular with Chabu, if you can get close to her, you may be able to get more information." ”
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then he said, "Emperor, Wu Zu is here to see." ”
Hearing this, the man immediately stood up, walked quickly to a stone wall, skillfully opened the mechanism, and disappeared into it.
Yao Chu glanced at the bowl on the table, picked up a head and dried it up, threw his hand out of the window and wiped his mouth, Wu Zu came in with a scepter.
Maybe it was because he was old and tossed all night, Wu Zu's face was a little gray, and his cheeks were a little collapsed.
"The Great. ”
Wu Zu was just about to bow his body when he was stopped by Yao Chu, and after helping Wu Zu to sit down, he asked, "Wu Zu, what happened to ask you to come over in person?"
Yao Chu has a lot of respect for Wu Zu, and without Wu Zu's protection, Yao Chu would probably have gone to see the gods. Not only that, Wu Zu has verified the ups and downs of three generations of emperors, and if he hadn't been guarding the Wu Palace, I don't know what the situation in this palace would be.
It's a pity that the current Wu Zu is old, and there are some things that he clearly sees but is unwilling to face.
This was both helpless and angry for Yao Chu.
Wu Zu gasped a little, calmed down for a while before saying, "The class is dead." ”
Yao Chu's eyes immediately widened, "Who did it?"
"I'll find out about this matter, after all, it happened in the Witch Temple. Wu Zu glanced at Yao Chu and added, "I will give the emperor an explanation." ”
One sentence blocked Yao Chu's mouth, which was to tell him that the affairs of the Wu Palace would be solved by the Wu Palace himself, and that he would not let the emperor, ask about it again.
Yao Chu suppressed his anger and didn't speak, so he listened to Wu Zu continue: "I came here this time to discuss with you about letting Nuo Yi succeed Skars as the Great Witch. ”
As soon as he heard this, Yao Chu's anger suddenly disappeared.
Nuo Yi and Duqian are both witches of Wuzu and candidates for the position of successor to Wuzu. But these two have always been incompatible, and Du Qian has been by Wu Zu's side for the longest, whether it is qualifications or foundation, Du Qian has the upper hand.
But Du Qian has somehow become more and more restless in the recent witch sacrifices, and he actually stretched out his hand to the palace, and there is also the state of ganging, which makes Yao Chu not be alert.
Although Wu Zu knew about this matter, he was still protecting Duqian, and only said that he would leave it to him to deal with.
But now, Duqian not only did not confiscate, but on the contrary, he mixed up with the governor of the Broken Island.
In order to balance Duqian, Yao Chu secretly helped Nuo Yi, but Wu Zu saw it in his eyes but did not intervene, which also made Yao Chu breathe a sigh of relief.
If it's just for the position of Wu Zu, it's nothing, all the things are in his eyes, and any problems can be solved at any time, but judging from the current situation, things are not so simple.
The death of the class sounded the alarm bell in Yao Chu's heart, there is no doubt that it must be related to Duqian.
Duqian was also friendly with Chab of Davis, and King Devis had not shown up for seven witch sacrifices, although there were good reasons and personal letters every time, and the people he sent to Divis to inquire about the news came back and said that everything was fine, but now that I think about it, it is strange everywhere.
Yao Chu understands Yao Sheng, he is now very worried that Yao Sheng has been controlled by Chab, if this is the case, then the forces in Duqian's hands are not only some military officers in Zhongao City, but also the entire Devis and Broken Island.
It seems that Dushi's eyes are not tightly focused on the position of Wu Zu, this ambition is really not small!
Yao Chu couldn't understand why Jiban died, but this showed that Duqian had already moved to kill, so Nuo Yi, who posed the greatest threat to Duqian, would also be dangerous.
Wu Zu took the initiative to let Nuo Yi take over the position of Skars, in fact, he was saving Nuo Yi's life in disguise, which means that the next successor in Wu Zu's heart is actually Nuo Yi.
It seems that Wu Zu is not old and confused.
Yao Chu slapped the table and agreed: "Just do what Wu Zu said." ”
