Chapter 222: The Puppet
After a period of officialdom, Dugu Thirteen beckoned to see off the guests, which made those people from the sect suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, and they hurriedly and politely said goodbye and left. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In Yuanzhou Mansion, Dugu Thirteen and others have just mediated out from a small sect in the state capital, originally this kind of mediation did not need to be dispatched by Dugu Thirteen in person, but it is rumored that this small sect has a grudge with people because of a strange treasure, and Chen Mingyu reacted that although many sects promised very beautifully, they promised to send the disciples of the sect to the Chen family soon to gather, but many of them secretly left a lot of elites, and Dugu Thirteen also took a look around by the way, and punished the big admonition.
As soon as the two of them took two steps, Chen Mingyu suddenly walked into Dugu Thirteen's ear and whispered: "Dugu Shaoxia, the Wu family of Yuanzhou Mansion knows that you are here and is ready to invite you to the banquet." ”
Dugu Thirteen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, what's the matter?"
During this period of time, Dugu Thirteen, Chen Mingyu and others traveled all over the major state capitals in the Northern Regions, and naturally had some contact with some local sect forces.
Although most of the sect forces are still false and wronged, they are mainly suppressed by Dugu Thirteen's means and strength, and everyone's well water does not interfere with the appearance of river water.
However, some sect forces think a lot, and frequently contact Dugu Thirteen, wanting to cooperate with him to annex hostile forces.
Almost all of these forces are small third-rate forces, and they only have one or two or three grandmaster warriors in the sky, and their strength is too weak, Dugu Thirteen will be wiped out with a wave of his hand, have you ever seen an elephant cooperate with ants? For these people, Dugu Thirteen is all sent away by Chen Mingyu, and he doesn't even bother to see them.
However, the Wu family this time is obviously not ordinary, otherwise Chen Mingyu would not have reported it in person.
"Boss, this Wu family is the first family of Yuanzhou Mansion, the two brothers of the Wu family, 'Smiling Ghost' Wu Luo and 'Night Crying God' Wu Mo, are all great grandmaster martial artists of the Innate Eight Heavens, and their Wu family's strength is considered to be the top among the second-rate forces in the entire Northern Regions. ”
Dugu Thirteen raised his eyebrows and said, "What did they invite me to do without saying anything?"
Chen Mingyu shook his head and said, "They only said that they wanted to invite you to the banquet. ”
Dugu Thirteen thought for a while and said, "Okay, then let's go over." ”
The strength of the Wu family is considered to be in the upper middle class in the entire Northern Regions, and this time I came to him on purpose, the matter is estimated to be not small, and Dugu Thirteen also wants to see what the Wu family wants to do.
So Dugu Thirteen directly took Chen Mingyu and others to Wu's house, instead of going to other places to hang out.
However, at the same time as they went to Wu's house, among the crowd on the street corner, there was a person who was far away, but he looked at Dugu Thirteen and the others with a cold gaze.
When Dugu Thirteen and the others arrived at the Wu family, the two strong men of the Wu family's great masters stood at the door to greet them, but they were stunned by Dugu Thirteen.
The appearance of these two 'smiling ghosts' Wu Luo and 'Night Crying God' Wu Mo of the Wu family is not the appearance of a pure person from the Northern Regions, but a person similar to the King Kong Temple in the Western Regions, with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge.
Seeing Dugu Thirteen's surprised eyes, Wu Luo smiled and said, "Lord Dugu don't be surprised, our ancestors are people who live in the Western Regions, but as early as a thousand years ago, they have already settled in the Northern Regions. ”
Dugu Thirteen nodded, and after a few words of greeting, he followed them into the Wu family, and at the same time, he also sighed that it was not easy for the Wu family to settle down in the Northern Regions.
Although the Great Zhou and the Great Jin are hostile to each other, in terms of xenophobia, they are definitely the most exclusive to the Western Regions, after all, there are some slight differences in length. Even in the eyes of some of the Great Zhou and Great Jin human races, there is not much difference between the Western Regions and the Demon Clan.
This Wu family was able to take root in that northern region, you can imagine how much they were stared at and believed in at the beginning.
After entering the mansion, Wu Luo immediately arranged for people to have a banquet, which was obviously ready. After eating, Dugu Thirteen asked directly: "Master Wu, what do you have to say." ”
Wait a minute, Dugu Thirteen is still going to go to other state capitals to continue to see if there are any sects hiding secrets, he doesn't have time to be with the two people of the Wu family here.
Wu Luo and Wu Mo glanced at each other, and Wu Luo said: "Okay, I will tell you directly with Lord Dugu, this is the case."
My Wu family was actually born in the King Kong Temple in the Western Regions at the earliest, and the exercises practiced are somewhat special, and they must be assisted by specific pills, and the alchemy that our Wu family is proficient in is also different from that of the Northern Regions, and some of the medicinal materials needed can only be found from the Western Regions. But in this way, too much manpower and material resources are consumed.
We originally set up a small clan there to help us buy medicinal herbs, but they were wiped out within a few years, so we wanted to find a local place in the northern regions to grow those medicinal herbs.
The regional environment of the Western Regions is very different from that of the Northern Regions, so we have worked hard to find a place that is also the only place in the Northern Regions that is suitable for growing that kind of medicinal herbs.
However, that place is not in the state capital, it is controlled by a local second-rate force, the Qingping faction, and my Wu family once came to the door to buy that land, but the Qingping faction opened his mouth and asked for a treasure armor and a ground-level blade inherited from my Wu family. ”
Speaking of this, the faces of the two brothers, Wu Luo and Wu Mo, all became angry, and the Qingping faction was simply deliberately making things difficult for them.
Although that piece of land is in the territory of the Qingping faction, it is actually a wasteland, which has no effect at all, and can be bought with silver.
If the Qingping faction wanted some cultivation resources, the Wu family would also give it by pinching their noses.
But the Qingping faction actually wanted their treasure armor and Xuan-level blades, which was a bit too much.
Cultivation resources can continue to be produced if they are gone, treasure armor and Xuan-level blades are handed down from ancestors, as long as the Wu family does not decline, it can be passed on forever, how can this kind of thing be given to others?
Wu Luo smiled bitterly: "So this time, I just want to ask Lord Dugu for your help to help us get this land from the Qingping faction, of course, we didn't ask you to help in vain."
Although the martial arts of our Wu family need to be specially coordinated with this kind of pill, this kind of pill can also be absorbed by martial artists who practice other exercises.
Therefore, after the herbs produced on this land are refined into pills, half of them belong to Lord Dugu. ”
Dugu Thirteen thought for a while and asked, "I remember that the strength of the Qingping faction seems to be inferior to your Wu family."
The Qingping faction, whether it is exercises or martial arts, can only be regarded as mediocre, and there is only one old and decrepit innate sevenfold heavenly martial artist in the sect, with the strength of your Wu family, it shouldn't be a problem to annex the other party, why do you have to come to me for help?"
Wu Luo's face once again showed a wry smile and said: "Lord Dugu, don't look at our Wu family, although we have taken root in the Northern Regions now, in fact, there is not a single sect force that is friendly with our Wu family, but there are more despised. If my Wu family goes to war with the Qingping faction, the sect forces that keep those Qingping factions will come to help them, but my Wu family is isolated and helpless. Therefore, even if there is no restriction in the Northern Regions that does not allow sect wars, my Wu family still does not dare to make a move, if it can protect itself, it is already thankful. ”
Dugu Thirteen nodded, it is really not easy for the Wu family to live.
However, at this time, Dugu Thirteen also had another thought in his heart, maybe he could take the Wu family under his command? This kind of family master from the Western Regions is weak, and once he accepts it, his loyalty to himself will definitely be much stronger than the rest of the sects, and he originally felt that the Chen family and the two henchmen of the Golden Sword Sect are a little few, and this Wu family has two great masters of the Eight Heavens, once they get the land of the Qingping faction, with the assistance of the elixir, they will not be far from being promoted to a first-class force.
Of course, this is just Dugu Thirteen's temporary thoughts, the Wu family is different from the Chen family, the Chen family has no way out at that time, so it is necessary to cooperate with Dugu Thirteen.
But the Wu family is cautious, they will never risk the future of the family.
Dugu 13 turned to Chen Mingyu and said, "Tomorrow, you will go and talk to the Qingping faction and ask them to hand over that piece of land." ”
Dugu Thirteen said to Wu Luo again: "You don't need to give me those pills, just give them to the Chen family, the land is what they help to come, and this pill should naturally be given to others." ”
Chen Mingyu was immediately overjoyed, stood up and said, "Thank you Dugu Shaoxia for the reward." ”
No one has too many cultivation resources, but these things are of little use to Dugu Thirteen, and it is naturally best to use them to buy people's hearts.
The Wu brothers were also overjoyed to thank Dugu Thirteen, and personally sent them outside the house to go back, and in order to show their attention, they specially sent a Wu family's housekeeper to follow Dugu Thirteen and them, and wanted to send them out of the city.
"Lao Chen, which state capital should we go to next?" Dugu 13 asked.
As Chen Mingyu walked, he took out a booklet and looked at it and said, "You should go to Nanhua Mansion." There are two sects over there that seem to be hiding their secrets!"
"Alright, let's go straight to Nanhuafu. ”
As soon as the words fell, Dugu Thirteen suddenly felt a cold killing machine rushing towards him.
In front of him are the people in Yuanzhou Mansion who are preparing to leave the city, there are hundreds of people around, so many people are among them, even Dugu Thirteen can't tell who released the killing machine, after all, the killing machine and the cultivation are different.
So as soon as he felt that the killing machine was coming, Dugu Thirteen immediately said to Chen Mingyu: "Be careful!" Dugu Thirteen has full confidence in his own strength, even if the Fusion God Immortal Realm Ancestor comes, he can't help himself, he is afraid that someone will think of going all the way with him, and cut off his wings first, then these killing machines should be aimed at Chen Mingyu.
But by this time, the person in the crowd who had shown a murderous intent had already made a move.
The three black-clothed men with hats walked out quickly, without even a trace of breath on their bodies, and the three black long swords in their hands stabbed straight towards Dugu Thirteen.
Dugu Thirteen was stunned, kill me?
Chen Mingyu was the first to rush out, and almost instantly, he came to the front of a man in black, the long sword in his hand emitted a deafening roar, and a set of sword techniques was unleashed, stabbing thirty-six swords in an instant.
But the long sword stabbed at the man in black only made a crisp sound of gold and iron, and it barely stopped it for a moment.
Chen Mingyu's complexion changed suddenly, the body of the man in black was simply stronger than the Shaolin warrior monk who had cultivated the Golden Bell Jar, his sword didn't even pierce the other party's skin, and the other party seemed to be a congenital Nine Heavens body refining powerhouse.
At this time, the man in black seemed to be half a beat slower, the black long sword reversed, and a sword blasted Chen Mingyu away, and the force made Chen Mingyu a little unbearable.
Seeing this scene, Chen Qinghe also came up with a long sword to help Chen Mingyu, and fought with the man in black, and the two of them joined forces to barely hold the man in black.
The remaining Chen family warriors rushed forward and fought with another man in black. The martial arts of these black-clothed people seem to be very single, but their physical bodies are too strong.
A great master of the Chen family, a martial artist, held a powerful palm, but as a result, when it hit the body of the man in black, his hands were numb from his shock, and it felt like he had hit a piece of Xuanyuan heavy iron.
And the last man in black was unstoppable, but he went straight to Dugu Thirteen.
The housekeeper of the Wu family, who was sent by Wu Luo to escort Dugu Thirteen out of the city, saw that it was not good, and immediately ran back to the Wu family to report the news.
It's not that he doesn't want to help, but his own strength is just the day after tomorrow, and it must be a situation of being killed in seconds, so it's better to notify the head of the family quickly.
Originally, their Wu family's plan was very smooth this time, and Dugu Thirteen agreed to their request without much difficulty.
As a result, now Dugu Thirteen and they were assassinated as soon as they left the Wu family, will this make Dugu Thirteen think that their Wu family is involved in this matter?
In case Dugu Thirteen is angry with their Wu family because of this incident, then they want to cry without tears.
At this time, in the face of the last man in black, Dugu Thirteen was expressionless, and when the man in black came to him, he slowly made a move.
With one hand, five majestic sword qi swayed out, formless and phaseless, and the six veins of the divine sword and the five veins shot out at once!
The five invisible sword qi directly blocked the five directions around the black-clothed man.
Under the tearing of the furious sword qi, not only did he retreat step by step, but also directly smashed the robe and hat of the man in black, revealing his original appearance, but this time, it caused the audience to be shocked.
Because the body under the black clothes and hat was not a real person, but a mechanical person made of metal that exuded a bronze color!
Only then did Chen Mingyu react to why these black-clothed people were invulnerable and powerful.
"Innate Nine Heavens puppet man?" Dugu Thirteen recognized this thing at a glance.
This kind of puppet is famous all over the world, didn't Dugu Thirteen meet their heir in Dabi in the Northern Regions? But that heir has already died in Jade Dragon Mountain.
The three high-level puppets in front of him are comparable in strength to the innate Nine Heavens refining powerhouses, and they are extremely precious, and it takes even years to build one, so they can't be mass-produced.
"Using three Great Grandmaster puppets to kill me is a big deal. Dugu Thirteen sneered, the longevity recipe in his hand came out of the sheath, and suddenly a magnificent light shone out, turning into a sea of clouds and pounced on the puppet.
