Chapter 664: Judging the Situation
"This military master, please go in again and say goodbye, just say that the old relatives from afar have come all the way to see the overseer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Early in the morning, Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng, who were wearing cloaks and big coats covering themselves tightly, stood in front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion in Blackstone Town, and begged the guards guarding the gate to go in again to report. Just now they had pleaded three times, and they had given all the benefits that should have been given, so the guards entered the house and reported three times in a row, but each time they were directly rejected in vain. When I went to report for the last time just now, the guard was even rewarded with a slap in the face, and when he came out, the five red marks on his cheeks were still hot and painful, and the guard glared at Zheng Xiaowu who opened his mouth again with resentment, and said angrily: "Get out, get out of here! Don't you see that Lao Tzu was beaten for the two of you?" Liu Meng's face couldn't help but sink when he heard this, he stepped forward and reached out to grab the guard's collar, and shouted: "You have accepted the money, you have to do this today, and if you don't do it, you have to do it!"
Seeing this scene, the seven or eight guards around him immediately drew their swords together and quickly surrounded them, staring cautiously at Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng one by one. The beaten guard wanted to use brute force to break free of Liu Meng's restraints, but Rao used his strength to feed, but Liu Meng's big hand holding his collar never moved, and the difference in strength between the two was really worlds apart. The guard was annoyed and angry, and said, "What do you want to do? Now that the Overseer doesn't see you, and it's not that I don't let the Overseer see you, I took money from both of you, but didn't I see that Lao Tzu was also beaten for your business?
"Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, what we just gave you is a full hundred golden shells, how can there be such an expensive dog skin plaster in the world?" Liu Meng saw that this person had a domineering attitude after taking the money, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and the hand holding the collar reached up sharply, and five steel-like fingers grabbed the guard's neck, and Liu Meng, who was full of scars, stared at a pair of terrifying tiger eyes directly in front of the guard, and the four eyes were already a little timid compared to the guard, Liu Meng said: " Let me ask you again, are you going to report or not?"
It seems to be attracted by the noise here, and the people of Blackstone Town, who are passing by here, gradually gather over, seeing that more and more people gather, and things are getting bigger and bigger, hearing the whispers of the surrounding people, Zheng Xiaowu couldn't help coughing lightly, and then reached out and pulled Liu Meng's arm, and said in a low voice: "There are many people here, don't make a big deal and be recognized." Liu Meng snorted coldly and pushed the guard away, and said viciously: "If you don't report it, then we will break in." β
"You dare!" The guard who broke free first subconsciously took two steps back, and then pulled out his waist knife and pointed it at Liu Meng, saying, "You can't do it, do you know what kind of place this is? If you dare to make trouble here, I think you are impatient." β
"With chicken feathers as arrows, I don't think these people can be quiet. Liu Meng scolded in his mouth, and his body was already approaching the guard with lightning speed, and the speed made the guard feel a flower in front of him, and before he could swing the knife, he felt his wrist sink, and then his neck was cold, and when he reacted again, it was a strange discovery, Liu Meng didn't know when he had taken the knife from his hand, and the blade was firmly attached to his own neck. Now all the guards don't dare to move, these guards are just pretending to be in the Guardian Mansion on weekdays, if it comes to the actual combat of real swords and guns, they are far inferior to those ordinary soldiers stationed in the military camp of Blackstone Town, let alone fighting with the protectors of the Soul Sect?
"Wow!" Seeing that someone dared to pick quarrels and provoke trouble in front of the Governor's Mansion of Blackstone Town, the surrounding people were suddenly in an uproar, and their eyes looked at Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng one by one. Blackstone Town has been in order for many years under Zheng Qin's rule, and he doesn't dare to say that it is prosperous but at least the world is peaceful, and now he dares to make trouble under the nose of Zheng Qin, the iron-blooded overseer, and in the eyes of these ordinary people, Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng have long been regarded as crazy people who don't know the height of the sky. If Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng were dressed up brightly today, perhaps the people would speculate that they had a deep background and did not show their faces. But at this moment, whether it is Zheng Xiaowu or Liu Meng, they are all covered in dust, and there is a trace of poverty and destitution from their bones, so they can only leave people with an extremely vicious impression.
"You...... What do you want to do?" Feeling the chill from the blade, the sweat pores of the guard's whole body stood up, and his back was unconsciously soaked with sweat, he knew that the Overseer's Mansion behind him was huge and he was not afraid of these two crazy people, but he didn't have that ability, if he really provoked the two people in front of him, wouldn't they die too unjustly if they killed him with a knife?
"I just want to see your Overseer, and I don't want to make trouble. Zheng Xiaowu took two steps forward and said lightly, "I am a friend with your overseer, not an enemy. β
"I said the Overseer didn't see you......"
"Why didn't he see us without explaining our identities?" Liu Meng asked without giving the guards a chance to explain, "It must be that you didn't make your words clear, making Zheng Qin mistakenly think that we are idle people who have nothing to do." β
Just when Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng were in a stalemate with the guards of the Overseer's Mansion, Tong Xuanwu, who was dressed in heavy armor, had already strode out of the mansion. Zheng Qin is a low-key person, and he rarely shows up even in Blackstone Town, so large and small affairs are generally handled by his henchman Tong Xuanwu, so the people of Blackstone Town are naturally very familiar with Tong Xuanwu. As soon as Tong Xuanwu appeared, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and the people around him paid attention to how this farce should end with playful eyes, and the guards hurriedly greeted him as if they were looking forward to a savior, and told them what had just happened. Tong Xuanwu, who was tall and tall, glanced at Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng with a calm face, he had already met these two people, so he was no stranger, but the strange thing was that when he saw Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng, there was no surprise on his face, but it was as plain as water, as if Tong Xuanwu knew that they were the people who made trouble outside the door early on.
"Come in with me!" Tong Xuanwu said coldly to Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng, and then turned around and walked towards the mansion, from beginning to end he only said these four words, and he came back even more suddenly. So much so that neither the people on the street nor the surrounding guards reacted to what was going on. However, since Tong Xuanwu ordered the guards, they naturally would not stop it, and several people quickly let go of the mansion door, and let Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng go straight into the governor's mansion.
Looking at Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng, who quickly disappeared into the mansion gate, the pot suddenly exploded outside the mansion gate, and everyone was talking to each other about what was going on. Especially for the onlookers, they thought they could see a good show, but they didn't expect the ending to be so unexpectedly peaceful.
Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng, who followed Tong Xuanwu all the way to the main hall, did not say hello, and after Tong Xuanwu invited him to sit in the main hall, Tong Xuanwu turned his solemn gaze straight to Zheng Xiaowu, and Zheng Xiaowu looked back at Tong Xuanwu intently, the two looked at each other like this for a long time, Tong Xuanwu's face changed, and the previous indifference was swept away, replaced by a touch of helplessness, and sighed: "I know that the overseer doesn't want to see you, why are you so persistent?" Listening to the meaning of Tong Xuanwu's words, it was obvious that Zheng Qin had guessed that the distant relatives who came to visit were Zheng Xiaowu.
Zheng Xiaowu was not surprised by this, and replied with a calm heart: "He has already guessed that I came to him, then he must have guessed why I came, since he knows why I came, then he should know that I am desperate now." Although I, Zheng Xiaowu, am not a hero, I will never come here to look for him as a last resort. β
"Alas!" Tong Xuanwu sighed and said with a wry smile: "The Overseer doesn't want to see you, in fact, it means that he has already given you the answer, the Overseer of the Soul Sect in the Holy Domain already knows, I hope you don't embarrass the Overseer." β
Zheng Xiaowu smiled bitterly and said, "If the wall is really pushed by everyone, I originally thought that Su Xie's influence was only in the Beast Domain, the Holy Domain and the Immortal Domain, but I never expected that now even the Imperial Overseer would be afraid of him." β
Tong Xuanwu smiled lightly and undeniably, and said: "Yes, everyone has three declines and six prosperity, and the Qi of the Soul Sect has been exhausted, so why do you want to force it? I advise you to find a place to live in seclusion, with your ability, you must be able to live well wherever you go, buy a family business, then marry a wife and have children, and live the rest of your life in peace and stability, isn't it good? Why do you need to follow Lu Yifan and burn all the jade together?"
"What are you talking about?" Liu Meng immediately took the case when he heard this, and rebuked angrily: "Who told you that the Soul Sect's qi is exhausted? Who told you that the Sect Master must not have a chance to make a comeback? As long as we don't die, the Soul Sect will not be extinguished for a day......"
"What's the difference?" Tong Xuanwu shook his head and smiled, "It's not a secret, now the Overseer can't meddle in the affairs of the Soul Sect at all, it has nothing to do with the Su Evil you are talking about, and it has nothing to do with the Beast Domain, the Sacred Domain, and the Immortal Domain." β
"Why is that?" Zheng Xiaowu asked in surprise.
"Because the emperor's order is difficult to disobey. Tong Xuanwu Zhengse said, "I might as well tell you the truth, His Majesty the Emperor has ordered all the cities and governments in the Spirit Domain, and all those who eat the Emperor Lu, regardless of the official level of their duties, are not allowed to have anything to do with the Sacred Domain Soul Sect, let alone get involved in the affairs of the Five Domains Sect. β
Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng were shocked when they heard this, and Liu Meng hurriedly said, "How is it possible? What about Mu Dan? Isn't Mu Dan the princess of the Spirit Domain?"
"This is the emperor's order, how can it be fake?" Tong Xuanwu rebuked unhappily, "Actually, the Overseer already knew about it when you appeared in the Two Realms Forest, but he really didn't want to meddle in your affairs, so he didn't ask about it." "At this moment, Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng are like two outsiders who don't understand the world, they have only been trying to escape for their lives in the past few months, but they have no idea about the changes in the overall situation of the Five Domains, so they can't figure out how they can suddenly become enemies of the Soul Sect, as if all the people have become enemies of the Soul Sect?
"Our sect master is the spiritual realm sect master, isn't it ......?"
"The position of the Spiritual Domain Sect Master has long since changed hands, and the current Spiritual Domain Sect Master is Xiao Hongfei, the Great Sect Master of the Three Holy Mountains. Mo said that he was the leader of the Spirit Domain, even the Spirit Mirror Valley, which had been passed down from Mu Ziyang's predecessors, was now dying. Tong Xuanwu said two shocking news again in a few words, which made Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng, who were full of confidence, feel like they had been beaten in the face, originally they thought that although the Soul Sect was in the Holy Domain, at least there were still the royal family and sects of the Spirit Domain that could provide backup, but now it seems that all this has come to naught.
"How is it?" Tong Xuanwu looked at Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng, who were full of surprise, and asked faintly, "Do you still want to recover the Soul Sect with all your heart?
"Fifth Master, even if everyone in the world is the enemy of the sect master, I will never betray the Soul Sect. Liu Meng was afraid that Zheng Xiaowu would be shaken, so he hurriedly said, staring at Zheng Xiaowu with nervous and expectant eyes when he spoke.
"The Soul Sect is gone. Tong Xuanwu said with regret, "Actually, until now, I still clearly remember the first time Sect Master Lu came to Blackstone Town a few years ago, how high-spirited he was at that time......?
Tong Xuanwu's words were also heartfelt, and the hearts of Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng who listened to them were like pressing a boulder, which was an indescribable grievance and discomfort.
"There are a few more pieces of news, I don't think you know yet, right? Maybe after knowing this, you will be able to realize that this time Lu Yifan and the Soul Sect have really reached the place of no return. Tong Xuanwu continued helplessly, "Because Lu Yifan killed Feng Chenghuang, the current Beast Domain has regarded Lu Yifan as the number one enemy, and the Beast Domain Emperor and the Rakshasa Gate have sent countless masters to track down Lu Yifan's traces in the Five Domains. And in the Holy Domain, Lu Yifan was also completely discredited because of the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce defrauding money, not only did the Holy Domain Emperor abolish Lu Yifan's position as the middle emperor, but also the Holy Domain Sect also took away Lu Yifan's position as the sect leader with one heart and one heart, and now the Holy Land Sect leader is already Dongfang Su. Today's holy domain, whether it is the government or the sect, is also searching for Lu Yifan's whereabouts everywhere, and in the holy domain, Lu Yifan has become the number one sinner who everyone can be punished. Although the two domains of immortals and demons did not directly express their attitudes, it is said that Donghua Palace, the first sect of the immortal realm, also sent masters to find Lu Yifan everywhere, and Yin Qianqiu, the master of Donghua Palace, is the leader of the immortal realm, and I think his attitude can also represent the attitude of the immortal realm to a large extent. As for the Demon Domain...... Let me put it this way, Qi Wanshan, the president of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce, a good friend of the Demon Domain Sect Leader Jun Wujie, has already released his words and is willing to give 30 million gold shells to reward Lu Yifan's head...... Our spiritual realm has just experienced a vast upheaval, originally the emperor and the sect leader were intimate, but now the spiritual realm leader has become Xiao Hongfei of the Three Holy Mountains, and there is news that the Immortal Domain Donghua Palace has sent people to visit the Three Holy Mountains, Xiao Hongfei has become the spiritual domain leader I think it has a lot to do with this matter. In other words, it is Donghua Palace who supports the Three Holy Mountains behind the top, and the relationship between them can be guessed by you if I don't say it, His Majesty the Emperor can only clear up the relationship with the Soul Sect in order to stabilize the overall situation, otherwise it will definitely be affected. I've said it all, you two are smart people, you must have seen the current situation clearly, right? The current Lu Yifan is no longer just a thorn in the side of a certain person, but a person who cannot be tolerated by the entire Five Domains. I have never seen anyone who can dominate the Five Domains throughout the ages, but the person who can be hunted down by the Five Domains is also unheard of. I can't imagine that anyone can make a comeback in a situation where everyone in the Five Domains is chasing and killing, so whether it is the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce, the Spirit Domain Imperial Family, or our small Black Stone Town Governor's Mansion today, we are not greedy for life and afraid of death, but we just don't want to set ourselves on fire. So I advise you to know that you are lost, so as not to fall into the land of no return with Lu Yifan. β
Tong Xuanwu's words were like a heavy hammer beating a drum, and the words were like knives piercing the hearts of Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng, they had long known that the situation was unfavorable, but they never expected that a scuffle at the junction of the ice fields that day would cause Lu Yifan and the Soul Sect to fall into such a situation that heaven and earth would not tolerate. At this point, they finally understood Zheng Qin's choice, and now standing up and getting involved with Lu Yifan and the Soul Sect is tantamount to igniting fire*. In today's situation, no matter how many helpers Lu Yifan can summon, the result is that he is a mantis arm as a car, and the mayfly shaking the tree will no longer be able to turn things around. Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng's loyalty now has become more and more small and pitiful.
"I didn't expect this Su Xie to be so powerful......" Zheng Xiaowu muttered to himself dumbfounded.
Tong Xuanwu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said in his words: "I don't know who the Su Evil you are talking about, but if Lu Yifan and the Soul Sect today are all caused by this person, then this Su Evil is likely to be two completely different extremes from Lu Yifan." Lu Yifan is the enemy of the Five Domains, and this Su Evil is very likely to become the ...... of the Five Domains with the help of this matter."
Tong Xuanwu's words were not completely clear, but Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Meng had completely understood the meaning of his words. Shocked, appalled, angry, helpless...... Thousands of thoughts are intricately intertwined and chaotic, making it impossible to figure out at all.
I don't know how long it was silent, Zheng Xiaowu raised his head suddenly, looked at Tong Xuanwu's eyes and suddenly burst out with a terrifying light, before Tong Xuanwu could speak, Zheng Xiaowu had already preemptively 'ordered': "I want to see Zheng Qin!"
