Chapter 207: The Source of the West River
After a heavy drink, seeing that Fan Xi's excited mood calmed down a lot, Gu Chen said, "Fan Xi's life, since you have been with the Heavenly Danger Dao Monarch for many years, then you should know that he is a member of the Xuanyin Sect, right?"
Fan Ximing's eyes wandered left and right, and finally said, "Okay, I knew about it many years ago, but my lord, I originally wanted to expose him, but I just ......." ”
Before Fan Xi's words were finished, Gu Chen waved his hand to stop him, "I'm not going to hold you responsible, but to ask you questions, I want to know, did the Heavenly Danger Dao Monarch tell you that he joined the Xuanyin Sect when he was in the Wuji Gate, or did he join after leaving the Wuji Gate?"
"It's after leaving. With Gu Chen's words of peace of mind, Fan Xi's life was also 'bold', "To be exact, in fact, the Heavenly Danger Dao Monarch was tempted by the Xuanyin Sect, so he left the Wuji Gate and joined them, and the Wuji Gate has nothing to do with the Xuanyin Sect, I know you want to ask his 'overhead boss', but I said it, I'm afraid you won't believe it." ”
Gu Chen smiled, "I can believe any result, as long as what you say is the truth." ”
"Can you really believe it?"
"Of course you can, as long as it's true. ”
"What if it's outrageous, can you believe it?"
"No matter how outrageous it is, as long as it's true, I can believe it. ”
Seeing that Gu Chen was so sure, Fan Ximing groaned for a while and said, "What if I say that it is someone from within your Dragon and Tiger Army?
Gu Chen's face did not change in the slightest, "Of course I believe it, because I believe in you, but you have to tell me who this person is." ”
"This ....... Fan Ximing groaned for a while, and then shook his head in embarrassment, "I really don't know, because all along, that person has been the Heavenly Danger Dao Monarch by letter, don't say it's me, even he himself doesn't know who it is." ”
"So mysterious?"
"It's really so mysterious, because that person's identity should not be underestimated, he is in charge of strongholds like the Eight Places and the Heavenly Danger Daojun, so you have to make sure that no matter what happens, you have to be safe, hey, by the way, my lord. Fan said fiercely, "If you need it, I can tell you the location of the other seven strongholds." ”
Right now?
Gu Chen thought of the man in black that night, and then shook his head, because he knew that even if he knew it now, I am afraid it would be useless, and the person would have been transferred a long time ago.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chen was not interested in this news, so Fan Xifang asked, "My lord, what do you want to know?"
Want to know what?
Gu Chen laughed, he wanted to know all the things about the Xuanyin Sect, but this was undoubtedly impossible, but he wanted to know the most about the clues about the Gu family's annihilation of the enemy.
The Xuanyin Sect is huge, if the entire Xuanyin Sect is the object of revenge, it is undoubtedly unrealistic, besides, he doesn't know how many people he wants to kill, he can't do it himself, so he wants to lock that enemy first.
And to find the clues of that enemy, first of all, you must know who ordered the construction of the rudder in Fengyang City, and now it seems that the Heavenly Danger Dao Monarch definitely does not have this power, so he has to continue to touch it.
It's just that the above is the Dragon and Tiger Army, so things are not so simple, involving the Dragon and Tiger Army, he can't go straight like now, he has to take care of a lot of things and influences, and if he is not careful, it will bring trouble to himself, and investigating it is a work that takes time, and it also needs accurate evidence, but what he lacks now is time.
"What the hell do you want to know, sir?"
Seeing that Gu Chen didn't answer, Fan couldn't help but ask again.
Gu Chen whispered, "Do you know about the Xuanyin Sect's establishment of a rudder in Fengyang City?"
"This matter?" Fan Xisheng smiled, "Of course I know this, I also know, it is my lord, you have taken off the rudder of Fengyang City, this is not a secret in the Xuanyin Sect." ”
Gu Chen nodded, "Okay, I want to ask you, do you know who ordered the rudder to be established in Fengyang City?"
Suddenly asked this question by Gu Chen, Fan Ximing was stunned for a moment, he pondered for a while, and said, "My lord, this question, I am afraid that Xiao Lao'er is powerless, because as far as I know, the establishment of the Fengyang City rudder is an order a long time ago, as for who gave the order, even fewer people know, I suspect that it may be the general rudder." ”
"The rudder?"
"Yes, if I guess, then it should be the order of the chief rudder, however, the water above this chief rudder is very deep, it's not that I want to hide anything from the adult, the general rudder gives me the feeling that it is like a fog, and even the Heavenly Danger Dao Jun doesn't know anything about the chief rudder. ”
So mysterious?
Gu Chen's face was disappointed, the clue still couldn't continue after all, did he really have to break it off here again?
"Still. Suddenly, Fan Ximing spoke again.
A glint of hope flashed in Gu Chen's eyes, "But what?"
"But the little old man knows something else. ”
"Something else?"
"Yes, my lord doesn't know, the helmsman who broke the rudder in Fengyang City back then was actually another person, but that person seemed to have done something wrong, and was later escorted back to Qingfeng Mansion, if you find him, maybe ask the person who gave the order back then. ”
Being reminded by Fan Xi's life, Gu Chen suddenly realized that he almost forgot this clue.
Back then, he met the helmsman of the Xuanyin Sect in Fengyang City, who was a woman who was managed for her brother, and his brother was the one who was imprisoned, not for anything else, as long as he could find that person, then he would be able to know who destroyed his ancient family's full door that night.
Gu Chen took a deep breath and pretended to be nonchalant, "Then do you know where that person was imprisoned back then?"
Fan Ximing nodded hurriedly, "Coincidentally, my lord, I can't hide it, in fact, the place where that person was detained was in Xiao Lao'er's hometown. ”
"Your hometown?"
"Not bad, Xiheyuan!"
"Xiheyuan?" Gu Chen muttered, recalling the map of Qingfeng Mansion in his mind.
The source of the West River is located on the southwest edge of Qingfeng Province, which is mountainous and hilly, but it is a desolate land, and there are not many people, and the source of the West River is under the jurisdiction of Longtouying.
However, the answer given by Fan Ximing is too general, because the source of the West River is a large area, and if you want to find someone, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, let alone a person who has been imprisoned.
Gu Chen pondered, "Do you know what specific location is at the source of the West River?"
Fan Ximing shook his head, "This little old man doesn't know, but that person is indeed in Xiheyuan, I can guarantee that." ”
Seeing that Fan Xi's life didn't look like he was lying, Gu Chen didn't ask any more questions, but took out a wine jug again and handed it to him; "This news is very useful to me, this is a reward for you." ”
Fan was flattered, thinking that it was something good, and raising his head was a booze.
"It's really good wine, thank you ....... ”
Before Fan Xi's words were finished, he was suddenly stunned, because Gu Chen had disappeared.
Fan Ximing hurriedly looked around, "My lord, my lord?"
There was no response.
Fan Ximing was secretly happy in his heart: "Could it be that it is over?
Thinking of this, Fan Xi's face was overjoyed, and he stood up suddenly, but suddenly, his body stumbled and fell directly.
Blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and it wasn't until the last moment before his death that Fan Xi realized that what Gu Chen rewarded him was a pot of poisonous wine, and he didn't think about letting himself go at all.
......
Above the clouds, Gu Chen slowly flapped his wings behind him, like a bird flying freely between heaven and earth, Qingfeng Mansion is quite large, he was originally in the northeast direction of Qingfeng Mansion, and now he wants to go to the southwest edge, the span between this is not small, even if he casts the phoenix feather, it will take a long time.
His eyes were slightly red, as if flashing with a layer of red fluorescence, Gu Chen looked down at the mountains and rivers below him, extremely cautious, because no one knew if there was any strong person hiding under the area he flew over, and he didn't want to be known by anyone about the news of going to the source of the West River.
Finally, three days later, Gu Chen fell on a mountain, looking around, surrounded by vast mountains, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is inaccessible, but it is not inaccessible, there is cooking smoke rising not far away, obviously there are people.
However, looking around, there are only a few smokes, which is very bleak compared to this huge mountainous area.
After a while, Gu Chen went down the mountain and went straight to the direction where the smoke rose.
......
The environment was even worse than he thought, and he didn't know if the place in front of him could be called a village, because there were only a dozen or so households, compared to those villages with as few as thousands, and as many as tens of thousands, it could not be compared.
In the village, several honest-looking men were chatting together, and when they saw a stranger suddenly coming, they all looked at each other.
Gu Chen restrained all the aura on his body, like an ordinary person, and after coming to these people, he stopped.
In such a humble place, it is also wishful thinking to find an inn or tavern where you can inquire about the news.
Before Gu Chen could speak, suddenly, a dark-skinned man said, "Oh, this raw thin skin and tender meat, boy, which village are you from?
A slightly sturdy man directly picked up the wooden stick beside him and came to Gu Chen, and the wooden stick in his hand smashed the ground fiercely, not good at saying, "Where did you come from, where did you go back to my death, tell you, Erhua Tie will definitely not marry elsewhere!"
Gu Chen looked dazed, what kind of flowers, he hadn't spoken yet, how did he know what he was here for?
"Beat him, beat him!" A man jumped up directly, blocking Gu Chen's way, and said, "Fix him hard, see if he dares to come in the future." ”
The man's words were responded, and five or six people all came around, one by one, looking at the posture to beat Gu Chen.
The small village was originally not big, but after this commotion, the courtyard doors opened one by one, and a group of women and children walked out of Hulala.
"Go back, go back, little kids can't watch. Some of the children ran out of the yard with them, but the women grabbed them by the ears and shoved them back into the house, but after a while their heads poked out of the wall.
Gu Chen looked at all this speechlessly, and suddenly thought of two words 'primitive', and of course, he also thought of a sentence, "Poor mountains and bad waters, shrews and people!"
It is said that the mountain people are honest and simple, but they also have their own brutal side, just like now.
