Chapter 985: Late Night Visitor
"This old man, my two brothers came to the capital from the south to do business, it is getting late, the city gate is locked, we want to stay here for one night, I don't know if it's okay?"
When the moon was on the branches, there was a knock on the door of the peasant's house, and two good-looking men, one tall and one short, stood outside, one of whom was leading a carriage with several sacks piled on it.
This place is not far from the capital, and it is also the land under the feet of the Son of Heaven, so the peasants did not suspect that the two had any intentions, and welcomed them very warmly to stay in the guest room.
After thanking the two men, they parked the carriage in the courtyard, and went to the well by themselves to fetch water, and it seemed that it was about to rest.
After the lights were extinguished in the main house where the peasants lived, the two men quietly left the house and came to a nearby hill, from which they could see the majestic and towering walls of the capital in the distance.
A cold wind blew, and from the mouth of the taller man came a yin owl tone that did not match his appearance: "You'd better explain why you brought me to such a place, this seat's patience is limited." ”
As he spoke, the man raised his hand and shook it in front of him, and a miserable white mask appeared on his face, this person was the Thousand Faces Dharma King of the Xuantian Sect.
"Why be in such a hurry." The other person also took off his disguise, not someone else, it was the head of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Huan.
The two of them came to the foot of the capital in disguise, which was undoubtedly an extremely risky move, for the imperial court and Jinyiwei, whether it was the remnants of the Gongsun family or the fanatics of the Xuantian Sect, they were the objects they wanted to get rid of.
"I don't want to go crazy with you," the Thousand Faces King said in a cold tone, "According to the agreement, I escorted you to the foot of this capital, and you should also tell me which tendon in your brain is wrong and you want to come here." ”
In the capital of Gyeonggi, the power of Jinyiwei is extremely huge, and it is far more dangerous here than on the rivers and lakes.
Gongsun Huan held in his hand the means of "bringing the dead back to life", which was the biggest magic weapon he used to hold the Thousand Faces King hostage, so the latter would be willing to come here with him.
But even if the treasure in Gongsun Huan's hand is tempting, it must be alive to be able to enjoy it, if it is accidentally planted here, the Thousand Faces Dharma King does not think that Jinyiwei will be kind enough to leave them a whole corpse.
"There's something left in the capital, and I have to get it back." Gongsun Huan said lightly.
Seeing that the other party was still unwilling to confess, the eyes of the Thousand Faced Dharma King became more and more cold: "It seems that you will not die if you don't reach the Yellow River, since this is the case, don't blame this seat for being rude." ”
"I advise you to save some effort, at this time, multiple helpers are always better than multiple burdens." With a word, Gongsun Huan made the other party's raised palm stop in mid-air.
But the Thousand Faces King is not such a simple person to convince, he sneered: "There is still a short distance from the capital, you and I have been incognito all the way, and I will bring you back at this moment, and it will not arouse anyone's suspicion." ”
"That's true," Gongsun Huan nodded slightly, then lowered his eyes, and let out a low laugh from his mouth, he said, "It's just that this is on the premise that no one knows our movements." ”
"What do you mean?"
The face of the Thousand Faces changed suddenly, and he looked sharply to the left and right, and all that came into his eyes was the silent night of empty people, but in the darkness, it seemed that something invisible to the naked eye was watching him.
It was a warning from the depths of his heart, Gongsun Huan's words filled the heart of the Thousand Faces King with a sense of crisis, a ray of dark light slowly appeared in his palm, and he stared at the person in front of him, his heart was full of entanglements.
"You can kill me now, but I promise you, if I die, you won't leave here."
Gongsun Huan turned around and calmly faced the Thousand Faces Dharma King who had already killed him, and he smiled slightly and said, "Let it go, only I can leave safely with us." ”
“.” The Thousand Faces Dharma King did not speak, his eyes became colder and colder, but the light condensed in his palm gradually dissipated.
"That's right."
Gongsun Huan nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "When I get what I want, we can leave." ”
"You've got to tell me what the hell you're putting East XZ here." The Thousand-Faced Dharma King's tone was cold, and he couldn't hear a trace of warmth.
"The best material."
Gongsun Huan sighed with emotion: "That is the first individual I found that can carry the heavenly poison, I was forced to lend it to someone else's hand to send it here, and now, it is time to get it back." ”
The Thousand Faces Dharma King now understood that the other party was going to take something, a puppet made from the corpse of Tianquan, a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, this thing was in the hands of an extremely dangerous person at the moment, the current commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lu Hanjiang.
The two gangsters asked Jinyiwei for something, which sounded like a fantasy, but in fact, Gongsun Huan had his own considerations, first of all, he didn't think that there was a hostile relationship between himself and Commander Lu.
An enemy's enemy may not be a friend, but it is never directly classified as another enemy.
In front of His Royal Highness in the East Palace, they were even like-minded partners, so he came here, because he believed that the other party would be willing to talk to him.
Not long ago, Gongsun Cheng burned all the century-old accumulation of the Gongsun family with a fire, although Gongsun Huan never looked down on the so-called secret treasures of the Gongsun family, but this fire still had an impact on him.
In line with the principle of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, it is impossible for Gongsun Huan to hide all the secrets in the Xuantian Sect, which he cannot fully trust, so the Gongsun family has become his inevitable choice.
Not only the Heavenly Destiny Resurrection Pill, but also some of his vital materials and secret scrolls, all of which were completely reduced to ashes with that fire.
The reason why Gongsun Huan had to take a huge risk to come to the capital was because materials like Tianquan had become the only object he could use to study now.
And, more crucially, today's rivers and lakes are also not safe enough.
Unless Gongsun Huan seals all his ambitions and stays in the North as an obedient and obedient puppet, once he steps into the Central Plains, the risks will follow.
After Jinyi Wei secretly suppressed the major forces on the rivers and lakes one after another, now only Shaolin Wudang is left who can be the enemy, but these two are instigated.
At the same time that the righteous path rivers and lakes have become the hall of Jinyi Wei's words, it also means that the Thousand Faces Dharma King and Gongsun Huan can no longer take advantage of the chaotic situation to hide themselves.
Once the rivers and lakes settle down, they will be deprived of their foothold almost immediately, and what is even more terrifying is that Jinyiwei may treat himself as a rabbit in his Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is the same whether he catches it or not, but the other person does not think so.
Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of the East Palace, she is always thinking about her own life.
