Chapter 25: Missed
Night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The night sky of Suzaku City is no longer the fiery red color of the day, but it reveals a deep dark red, rippling with a different kind of poignant.
Unspecified Inn.
"In two days, the Vermilion Bird Tower is about to open, and I'm really excited!"
In a certain room, a young man leaned against the window and muttered to himself, his face mixed with joy and excitement.
Like Qiao Ximing, he is a member of the Wanying List of Luozhen, a first-level town in the Vermilion Bird Domain, and although he is only a minister, he can be regarded as a genius if he can grab a place in the quota competition.
Coming from a third-level town, he has the responsibility of revitalizing his family and the dream of becoming a famous general of the empire, a typical dream-chasing youth.
I have to say that the competition for places is extremely fierce, and he can successfully obtain a place, in addition to a solid foundation, luck also accounts for a large part, after all, if he encounters a secretary-level ability, he is afraid that he will not even be able to pass a move.
Reaching into his arms, he took out a silver and red name post, on which the mysterious graphics were drawn, and there were four big characters in the middle of the book, 'Wenwu Talent', which represented the number of people on the Wanying List!
"With this, I will be able to enter the Vermilion Bird Tower, and after a year, I will return to my hometown with a stronger cultivation and the honor of a famous general, and then my father, mother, and Fangzi will definitely be extremely happy!"
The vision for the future is overflowing, and the name is like a precious treasure in the eyes of young people.
Boom!
A soft sound interrupted the youth's longing.
He poked his head out of the window and looked towards the source of the strange sound, the room next door to the fellow contestants.
There was no movement.
"Did I hear me wrong?"
Just as the young man was still doubting his ears, he suddenly saw something unusual out of the corner of his eye.
Light!
Pink light!
The pink light flashed away, but the luster in the young man's eyes was lost in an instant, as if the whole person was lost in some kind of beautiful existence, and the soul could not extricate itself.
Squeak-
The door was pushed open, and a figure entered, closed the door, and then walked to the young man by the window, looked at him, and closed the window.
"It's really amazing, now you're already a beast general, right?"
The person who spoke was none other than Qiao Ximing.
A pink light lit up in the room, and then condensed into a human form, turning into a Nian Clan brute beast, Nian Butterfly Rain.
Dieyu glanced at Qiao Ximing coldly and did not answer.
Qiao Ximing didn't mind, reached out and took the Wanying list from the hand of the stunned young man, and then whispered, "I'm sorry." ”
The name card was withdrawn from his hand, and the dim color in the young man's eyes seemed to struggle for a while, but in the end it did not become brighter, so he could only slowly close his eyes, and then a burst of pink light erupted from his body and disappeared without a trace.
The young man disappeared from front of him, but Qiao Ximing lowered his eyes, and he didn't seem to have any feelings, but as soon as he moved his hand, two more famous cards appeared in his hand.
In this way, there are three famous posts. ”
The silver light flashed, and three famous cards were handed to Dieyu's body.
"Over to you. ”
Qiao Ximing's smile made Dieyu frown, and finally spoke: "What are you going to do?"
"Isn't it obvious? let you also participate in the Empire's civil and military performances, by the way, bring two more people. ”
"Martial arts talents?"
Qiao Ximing nodded: "That's right." The number of places on the Wanying list is limited, and at first I only brought two blank name posts over, but I didn't expect Xue'er to seem to have made a friend here, so this third name post is prepared for you, this person is an existence that is not easy to attract attention in the Wan Ying list, his name post, plus your illusion as a beast general, can definitely evade the detection of the Wenwu Tower and enter it smoothly. ”
"As long as they enter the Wenwu Tower, presumably the Lan family will not be able to get them in a short period of time. ”
"Xue'er, it's that female human!" Dieyu remembered the existence of Xue Yiwu, but then became even more cold: "However, the purpose of my coming here is not for any Wenwu Pagoda, but for ......"
"Perfect Body Project Materials!"
Qiao Ximing picked up Butterfly Rain's words.
"I know what you're here for, after all, the person who proposed this deal with Demon Nine was actually me. However, the information on the Perfect Body Project is not with me right now. ”
"Not with you?" Dieyu's beautiful eyes narrowed, shooting out two dangerous rays of light, and a murderous aura erupted: "The Lord said that if you tease him, I can kill you on the spot!"
Feeling Dieyu's serious aura, Qiao Ximing hurriedly waved his hand.
"I just said I wasn't here, but I didn't mean no!"
After a moment of murderous aura, Dieyu stopped the urge to make a move: "Niantong Demon, what do you mean?"
Qiao Ximing didn't think it was a pestle, and said with a light smile: "It's very simple! Since Xiao Qian is the experimental subject of the Perfect Body Plan, then the extermination of the Shangguan family seven years ago must also be a part of the Perfect Body Plan, and as the Lan family, which came out of nowhere and replaced the Shangguan family to become the first family in Vermilion Bird City, it must also be related to this plan, so the information of the Perfect Body Plan is in the hands of the head of the Lan family, Lan Jue!"
Lan family, Lan Jue?
Looking at Dieyu's expression, it obviously didn't know much about the situation in Vermilion Bird City, and naturally it didn't know what the Lan family and Lan Jue were referring to.
But it just continued to frown and said, "According to what you said, the information is not in the hands of this human called Lan Jue, and it is not in your hands, and the transaction with the Lord is still not established!"
"No, no, no!" Qiao Ximing shook his finger: "You are mistaken, I asked Dingtong to propose the transaction with Demon Jiu, what is said is the information of the Perfect Body Plan, not all the information of the Perfect Body Plan, and I have actually completed the part of my transaction by providing the source of the information." ”
"Demon of Niantong, you are playing word games with the Lord!?"
"Perhaps, but with the intelligence of Demon Nine, it must have already understood what I meant. ”
Dieyu stood in front of Qiao Ximing for a long time and didn't speak, as if considering the truth of his words.
"Don't think about it so much, since Demon Nine sent you, I will naturally let you go back with the information, but you still have to do something before you get the information. ”
After being silent for a long time, Dieyu spoke again: "Information, how to get it? That Lan Jue, should be cultivated to a high level, right?"
Although it is a brute beast, it is not stupid, and it knows very well in its heart that it wants to directly infiltrate the big family in the four major cities of the Human Empire to steal secrets, which is far beyond its current ability.
Qiao Ximing said with a smile: "Lan Jue's cultivation will not be weaker than the high level of the Qing level, maybe he may break through the phase level, otherwise he will not be able to sit firmly in the position of the first family of Vermilion Bird City, but if you want information, you don't have to directly oppose him, there are also other ways, for example, his closest relatives......"
Listening to his explanation, Butterfly Rain's expression gradually slowed down, and then returned to an indifferent color.
"How, would you like to cooperate with your Niantong Demon to obtain information on the Perfect Body Project for your Lord?"
Looking at the three famous cards handed to him again, Dieyu no longer refused, but reached out to take it.
"What am I going to do next?"
......
Tuoba family, Tuoba jade boudoir.
"How's it going, Xiaolu?" asked Tuoba Yu with a frown at the maid in front of him.
The maid Xiaolu lowered her head and said, "The people of the Lan family have already brought people back in the afternoon, but they forcibly left the bride price in the mansion. ”
"What about Father?"
"The head of the family ......" Xiaolu hesitated: "The head of the family has temporarily delayed the Lan family, and has not yet agreed to their proposal. ”
"That's right...... Alright, you get out!"
"Yes, miss. ”
Xiaolu lowered her head, got up and exited Tuoba Yu's boudoir.
When the door closed for a few breaths, a white shadow flashed out from behind Tuobayu's bed, it was Xue Yiwu.
Xue Yiwu sat down next to Tuoba Yu, looking relieved: "Fortunately, they have already gone back." ”
But then she found that Tuoba Yu's expression beside her was not as relaxed as her.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Tuoba Yu said solemnly: "Tuoba family, it seems that it is not safe. ”
Xue Yiwu was stunned: "Why? Didn't the head of the Tuoba family reject the Lan family's proposal?"
Ke Tuoba Yu shook his head: "Father just delayed, and did not refuse. ”
Looking at Xue Yiwu's puzzled expression, Tuoba Yu explained: "After all, the Lan family is the first family in Vermilion Bird City, and the Tuoba family is barely in the top ten, the gap between the two is definitely not to be underestimated, and I understand my father's character, since he is only temporarily delaying at the moment, it means that he may not have the intention of refusing in his heart." ”
"How come!" Xue Yiwu's hand covered his mouth: "Could it be that the Tuoba family master can really let you marry the second young master of the Lan family who drugged you?"
"For the good of the family, probably ......"
Tuoba Yu was silent, and the light in his eyes was dimmed to the extreme.
The two fell silent.
In the middle of the night, Tuoba Yu suddenly raised his head and slammed his left hand into a fist on the bed.
"No, I can't just accept my fate!"
Shae Wu was stunned, and then nodded as well.
"So what do we do now?"
Tuoba Yu lowered his head and thought about it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"There it is!"
......
"Brother, didn't you say that there is danger in the Wenwu Tower, is it safe to let my sister go in too?"
Qiao Ximing had already returned to his guest room, listening to Xiao Qian's question, he shook his head: "Although the information of the Wenwu Pagoda is insufficient, there must be a crisis in it, and it is definitely not a safe place, but outside the Wenwu Pagoda, the power of the Lan family can be said to cover the sky with one hand in Vermilion Bird City, and it is unrealistic to let Xue'er continue to hide or escape back to the Xuanwu Domain, so it is better to let her enter the Wenwu Pagoda with me, although it is uncertain, but at least there is a glimmer of chance." ”
"The hateful Lan family!" Xiao Qian cursed and asked again, "Brother, then that brute butterfly rain, can you really trust it?"
"Butterfly Rain ......"
After pondering for a while, Qiao Ximing sighed softly: "Dividing into the four major domains and planning at the same time has weakened our strength to the extreme, and letting Dieyu join is not only to help Dingtong complete the plan to move north, but also the only way to enhance my strength on the chessboard now, so even if I am Dieyu's Niantong Demon, I have to use it." ”
"But ......"
Xiao Qian's words stopped abruptly in the middle of her words, and Qiao Ximing also looked sideways at a corner of the room.
Pink reproduction.
Butterfly Yu's figure appeared, but Qiao Ximing's face changed slightly.
"Why is it so fast?
Dieyu looked at Qiao Ximing coldly.
"The two humans you mentioned are gone!"
