Chapter 157 Borrowing the Knife
For those who have been reunited after a long absence, there are always many stories to tell.
People who are worried regard silence as the best communication.
In this tangled state of mind, Shenhuan and his party returned to Jianzhou.
The three of them did not enter the city, Gongliang Dingyuan and Gongliang Yu are almost unknown in Jianzhou, and their direct entry into Jianzhou City will definitely alarm Gongliang Sikang, who is now in control of the Gongliang family.
"I'm going to go back to the Excalibur Camp first. "Gongliang Dingyuan is most worried about the Excalibur Battalion.
The Shenjian Battalion is the family arm of the Gongliang family, although the number is not large, but it is excellent, each of them has outstanding combat effectiveness, and it is a huge force that can affect the entire Jianzhou.
The reason why Gongliang Sikang wanted to launch a family rebellion and seize power in the clan was largely because the power of the Divine Sword Battalion aroused Gongliang Sikang's ambitions.
In order for Gongliang Sikang to control the entire Gongliang family, the first thing to do is to control the Shenjian Battalion, which has lost its leadership.
"No, I can't. Shenhuan and Gongliangyu stopped at the same time.
"Father. Shenhuan said, "Gongliang Scone knows that you are not dead, so he will naturally guard against the possibility of you coming back." He knows the importance of the Excalibur Camp better than anyone else, and he also attaches more importance to the Excalibur Camp than anyone else, and he will definitely have enough manpower outside the Excalibur Camp to deal with your father. ”
"It's a bit too risky for us to go straight back to Gongliang's house like this. Gongliang Si Kang must have the support of a certain big force, and there must be a master in the family who supports him now. "Gongliang is determined to go from afar, and they can't afford any careless losses.
"Let me find out. Father, you should find a place to rest in the sword and bamboo forest that is rarely populated, and don't expose it. As soon as I have news, I will go out of the city to seek you. Shenhuan took the initiative to take responsibility for finding out the news.
"No!" Gongliang Dingyuan resolutely disagreed, he finally reunited with Shenhuan, and would never let Shenhuan take risks again, this is also the nature of his father, "I can't let you take risks!
"Father...... I was trained in the Xuanzhou Bloody Clothes Battalion, and I was trained in techniques such as concealment, tracking, and assassination, and no one here is more suitable for this task than me. Shenhuan explained.
"This ...... All right...... Nahuan'er, you must be careful, don't be reckless, and if there is anything abnormal, flee immediately!" Gongliang Dingyuan instructed uneasily.
"Yes. Rest assured, Father. After saying that, Shenhuan walked alone in the direction of Jianzhou City......
In the Gongliang Mansion, the Gongliang family after a change in the sky is as harmonious and orderly as in the past. The servants and guards guarded their posts and fulfilled their duties, and the young masters also practiced in the martial arts arena as usual, as if nothing had happened.
On that day, the family changed, because Gongliang Sikang had made full preparations together with the suffering and worrying in advance, whether it was the continuous killing in the bedroom of the third Gongliang cultivator, or the killing of everyone in the lobby, there was no sound.
Afterwards, Gongliang Sikang announced to everyone that a fierce beast had appeared somewhere in the deep mountains in the southwest and was harmful to the world. Several major families who have been friends with the Gongliang family for generations couldn't bear to be miserable, and made a special trip to ask the Gongliang family to destroy the fierce beast. So, the master of the family, the head of the two families, and Gongliang Xiushi took the two heaven-level guard chiefs in the family, Lu Lao, the butler at the peak of the earth-level level, and the chief instructor of the half-step heaven-level four masters, to go to the heavens.
Gongliang Sikang's statement was proved face-to-face by several major families who have been friends with the Gongliang family for generations, so it did not make everyone in the Gongliang family suspicious.
But as time passed, the Lord and others did not come back for a long time, and no news came back, which finally made some people suspicious......
In the corner of the martial arts arena, the younger generation of the eldest young master Gong Liangchen, the second young master Gong Liangtian, and the third young master Gong Liangxuan, who had just competed, pretended to be tired and paralyzed, lying on the ground, communicating in a voice as thin as a mosquito.
"Big brother, your father and my father have not heard back for a long time, do you really believe the words of the fourth uncle?" The third son, Gongliang Xuan, is the eldest son of Gongliang Dingyuan and the elder brother of Shenhuan, and his father has not returned for a long time, so the doubts in his heart have been a little irrepressible.
"I was skeptical of the fourth uncle's words at first, what kind of fierce beast is worthy of the family dispatching so many elites? Now, I haven't even sent back a bit of news, so naturally I won't believe the fourth uncle's original explanation. The eldest young master replied.
The eldest young master Gong Liangchen and the second young master Gong Liangtian are both sons of Gongliang Quarrel, although they are suspicious of the fourth uncle Gongliang Sikang, but they have no evidence, and they have never dared to communicate this matter with other people of the younger generation, especially the sons of Gongliang Sikang.
In the end, they decided to discuss it with Gongliangxuan, firstly because Gongliangxuan was the son of the second uncle Gongliang Dingyuan, and secondly, because Gongliangxuan and them had grown up together almost since childhood, and their relationship was also the best.
"If this is really Gongliang Sicon's ghost. Then we stay at home every day, and what we see and hear every day is what He wants us to see. We should never want to know the truth!...... "The second young master, Gongliang Tian's temperament is much more anxious, he no longer believes in Gongliang Scone, and even his words have become unpolite, "These guards who seem to be protecting us may also be sent by Gongliang Scone to spy on us." ”
"If it weren't for someone eavesdropping, would we have been lying here pretending to be out of strength?" Gong Liangchen glanced at his younger brother.
"Let me go out to find out the news of my father, uncle, and all the masters of the family! It's not a way to wait like this!" Gong Liangxuan took the initiative to ask.
"What excuse do you use? If it is really the conspiracy of the fourth uncle, then he will definitely not let you out easily. ”
"I haven't left Jianzhou for many years, and my eleventh brother has been going out to practice frequently over the years, and I apply for a chance to train for myself, he can't stop me, right? If he really doesn't allow it...... I can pretend to be angry or something, and the more I make trouble, the more unreasonable I am, the less he will suspect me. "Gongliangxuan's plan is bold and effective.
"He'll definitely send someone to follow you secretly. "Gongliangtian doesn't even use hypotheticals.
"Don't worry, after leaving Jianzhou, I won't immediately inquire about the news, I will try to get rid of the stalker first. There's no way around it......"
Gong Liangchen and Gong Liangtian didn't talk anymore, and they acquiesced to Gong Liangxuan's plan.
While the three brothers were discussing, Shenhuan, who had just entered Jianzhou City, found a long-lost friend in a tea shop not far from the city gate......
"I didn't expect to be able to meet here. Gardenia, who was still wearing a long white dress, smiled.
This person is the first generation of demon Yuyan who Shen Huan met in the Demon Song Forest!
I haven't seen her for a long time, and the temperament without a trace of fireworks on Gardenia's body has not changed, but the eyes that are obviously a little tired due to too little rest time show that she has not had an easy time these days.
What intrigued Shen Huan was that he couldn't sense the Gang Qi on Gardenia's body! It was as if Gardenia was just an ordinary person who had never practiced Gang Qi!
"Why are you here?" Shenhuan sat down across from Gardenia, "Why can't I sense your anger?"
"A little trick that I have newly comprehended, but it is based on the characteristics of my being, and I can't understand it for a while. As for why I'm here...... Do you remember what I told you about 'Demon Forbidden' and 'Demon Worm'?"
Shenhuan nodded.
"Over the years, I have discovered two 'demon worms'! They have a lot of 'demon forbidden' around them to mobilize! But I am not their opponent, and I can only barely guarantee that I will not be detected by them. I'm here to spy on the movements of one of the 'Demon Worms'!"
"What are they doing here?" Shen Huan had a bad guess in his heart.
"I don't know. However, they have been frequenting the Gongliang Mansion recently, and it is believed that they have completely controlled the Gongliang Mansion. The original ruler of the Gongliang family, if he had either become their puppet, had already died in Huangquan. Gardenia didn't know about the relationship between Shenhuan and the Gongliang family, and told her guess directly.
Really!
Gardenia's statement is exactly the same as what Shenhuan thinks in his heart.
"If you can't do anything, why are you still here?"
"Because ......," Gardenia Yan smiled, "I found that there is a lot of contradiction between the two 'Demon Worms'! ”
Borrow a knife to kill demons!
At this time, the secondary body of Gardenia is transforming into a small white flower, blooming in the bamboo forest in the garden of the castle lord of Shengzhou Castle......
