Chapter 31 Two orders came from the Imperial City

"Master! The disciple has something important to report. ”

A hurried voice sounded from outside the door, and it was Fu Chao, who seemed to be running all the way, a little out of breath and in a high-pitched tone.

"Isn't it yet falling?" Although Zhou Zong didn't think so, his body had fallen into the hall in an instant, and with a move of both hands, the tightly fastened wooden door was slammed open by the wind.

"The disciple is worried about the master, so he is reckless." When Fu Chao saw Zhou Zongyin's appearance, his hanging heart fell, and his panicked expression gradually calmed down.

Zhou Zong saw that he was relaxed, and guessed that this important matter could be relieved at least at this moment, so he walked slowly to the wooden chair in the hall, although he was fine, but fatigue always hovered in his heart, just thinking about finding something to support.

"Say, I'll hear what is important to make you like this." Zhou Zong turned his back and said as he paced.

"The Mo Sect sent someone to come, saying yes..."Fu Chao's voice suddenly weakened.

Hearing that it was Mo Zong, Zhou Zong's heart was born with a nameless fire, and he didn't wait to sit down, so he turned around, and his eyes burst out, "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, what do they say?" ”

"The Blood Ink Envoy who came said that he heard that the master was seriously injured last night, and he came to pay a visit." Fu Chao said this slowly, and he also beat the drum in his heart, although the master showed his might last night and fought with people in the dark, but at this moment, he was obviously standing in front of him, where did the rumor come from that he was seriously injured.

Zhou Zong laughed, his butt fell on the chair, and he didn't answer Fu Chao's words, but drew circles on the edge of the teacup with his fingers.

Seeing that Zhou Zong fell into silence, Fu Chao was even more worried in his heart, and swallowed his saliva silently.

After a while, Zhou Zong looked at the people who were still sitting around the bedroom, his eyes thoughtful, as if waiting for them to say something.

After the meeting, the first to speak was He Wangshu.

"Look at your master, what's the damage?"

When Fu Chao heard this, he buried his head a little, and he heard a hint of reproach between He Wangshu's words.

"The disciple is at fault, but when he heard that the master was injured, he panicked for a while, and after all, he still lacked cultivation." Fu Chao apologized in a low voice.

Zhou Zong did not reprimand, although he treated his disciples generally harshly, but he was not unreasonable. After thinking for a while, he said indignantly: "Since the bed bugs have found the door, then I will go and surprise them." ”

With that, he was going to go out the door. Zhong Kou shouted loudly: "Senior brother, slow down! ”

Zhou Zong was half an anxious child, and at this moment he had half a foot out of the threshold, and when he heard Zhong Kou shouting, he didn't want to move his foot back, but his center of gravity moved back, and he looked at it and said, "What kind of plan do you have?" ”

Zhong Kou has always been steady, but at this time, he rarely smiled and said: "It's better to plan and see what tricks they can play." ”

I have to say that these words have a great attraction to the people present, and even Wu Qiufang, who has always been wooden, also has bright eyes and stares at Zhong Kou in a daze.

"Clever plan, and this scene has to be played by the fourth child." He Wangshu closed the folding fan with a "snap", his face was naturally smiling like a flower, and he took a few steps forward with great interest.

"Why?" Xiong Junqi frowned, his mind was shallow, and he couldn't see what medicine was sold in He Wangshu's gourd.

"You say, the fourth child is still in the dark?" He Wangshu's head shook slightly along with the folding fan, and he glanced at him, signaling that Fu Chao was still on the side, not to expose Zhou Zong's injury; While showing a smile that had succeeded in his treacherous plan.

Duan Mou slammed the door and left early, Zhou Zong woke up and turned to the afterword, let him play this scene, I'm afraid Mo Zong won't be able to see the flaw no matter what.

Everyone agreed, naturally it coincided, and Zhou Zong also retreated to the hall and smiled strangely at Fu Chao: "Go find your fourth uncle." You said, just now when you came to me and saw that I was unconscious, I really didn't know what to do, so I could only tell him. ”

Fu Chao is also a smart person, as soon as he hears the plan, he also guesses nine times out of ten in his heart, and after Zhou Zong's orders, he even showed a look of never dishonoring his life and said: "The disciple obeys the order, and he will not talk much." ”

As soon as these words came out, He Wangshu, who was already extremely excited, became even more excited, and couldn't help but strode to the hall and said, "The son can be taught." ”

Fu Chao received praise, especially the praise of his uncles, his face showed joy, and he hurriedly walked out.

Seeing Fu Chao walking away, everyone's faces gradually calmed down.

"What do you mean about the temple?"

Zhou Zong's face was not calm, and he could see that there was a deep worry hidden in his eyes. The East Pole Gate is the right-hand man of the Emperor in the world, but this does not mean that he can be completely trusted in front of the Emperor.

It is impossible for a person who rules the country to completely entrust his heart to another person or force. Not only Zhou Zong, but his brothers and sisters are also familiar with this truth, and naturally they can see what Zhou Zong's worries are.

"Renjun sent an order over early this morning, two things. The first is to summon you into the Imperial City. ”

Zhong Kou's voice was low, this matter was told to him by Duan Mou, the secret agents of the East Pole Gate have been in the dark for many years, but they don't know the depth of the secret agents, and there are still people hiding in the shadows.

"What's going on?" Zhou Zong asked knowingly, as if he wanted Zhong Kou to tell the truth, and he was willing to give up.

But Zhong Kou looked sad, and opened his mouth to say a reason that he didn't believe in himself: "Renjun said that he hadn't seen you for a few years, and he wanted to catch up with you." ”

"Oh..."

Zhou Zong couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He knew very well in his heart that it was only a few days before the autumn boat went down the mountain, and Renjun must have received information. No, even when he was called up the mountain by Yan Qingyun, Renjun was already suspicious. This time, he was asked to enter the imperial city, saying that he was reminiscing about the past, but in fact he questioned, it seems that this Hongmen banquet has to be tasted.

"The fourth senior brother excused himself on the grounds that you were ill and needed to stay in bed to recuperate." Zhong Kou frowned, and slowly added, "I think you should be worry-free for a while, but it's just that you've been acting for a few days." ”

"I heard that Renjun has lived in a simple house over the years, and he doesn't ask much about temples and the world." Lin Yun saw that the two of them frowned, and their faces were unhappy, so she opened her mouth to comfort. The implication is naturally that Renjun is not necessarily here for the autumn boat.

"The monarch of the world should not just look at the appearance." Zhou Zong said solemnly, he held the teacup on the table in his hand, there was no tea in it, it was empty.

He played with it for a while, and then threw the teacup on the table, and although it was not broken, it made a muffled sound and rolled around on the wooden table.

It can be seen that Zhou Zong is a little irritable.

"Well, it's hard to disobey the king's order, anyway, the paper can't hold the fire, I'll go there in a few days. What about the second one? ”

"The old department of the Eighth Prince is suspected of having an affair with the forces of Los Angeles." Zhong Kou said word by word, this matter is still not trivial.

When the others heard this, they all fell on Qiu Fang with shocked eyes.

When he heard the words "Eight Princes", Qiu Fang's eyes widened, but there were not many waves in his heart. It is said that he is the grandson of the Eighth Prince, but he has no feelings for the Eighth Prince, as if he is just a stranger. When it comes to investigating the case, I feel that it doesn't seem to matter whether it is investigated or not.

But others don't think so, in life, family, friendship, love, all kinds of bonds draw a vast net, which encompasses all things, and finally converges into the world. They are different from Qiufang, they have been in the world for decades, and they have long lost count of how many fetters there are around them, even if they are not accompanied by their families, they also have brothers and disciples who are very similar to their families.

"What kind of storm can the old department of the Eighth Prince stir up?"

Zhou Zong said noncommittally. But he thought about it again, and then he picked up his eyebrows and continued.

"Lao Qi was seriously injured, it seems that Mo Zong has an affair."

In a moment, Zhou Zong guessed the truth.

"The fourth senior brother has ordered someone to investigate, and I believe it won't be long before the news can be brought back."

Zhong Kou replied that during Zhou Zong's sleep, Dongjimen was not idle, setting up spies to collect intelligence while dealing with Renjun's orders.

"Then wait." Zhou Zong sighed, "Sixteen years have passed, and this matter still refuses to come to an end." ”

"The eighth prince is greedy for heaven, and he has been in charge of the army for many years, and there are many subordinates, so naturally some people refuse to let go." Although Lin Yun is said to be a woman, she is treated equally in the East Pole Gate, and she is not allowed to discuss current affairs just because she is a woman.

"They can't let go of the Eighth Prince? They can't let go of power! ”

Zhou Zong's voice was full of anger, whether he wanted to or not, he had been immersed in the world all his life, and he had a somewhat mentality of serving the country and the people.

"The chaos in the temple ended with the death of the eighth prince. If the old department of the Eighth Prince sets off another bloody storm, it will be poisonous for the country and the people. ”

"But so what, we can control Los Angeles, but we can't control the world. In the world, it's better to let him go. ”

He Wangshu smacked his lips and said helplessly.

When Zhou Zong heard this, he nodded rarely, this world is vast, with a few of them, how can they stop the general trend.

Before Zhou Zong could say anything more, a birdsong came from outside.

The birdsong disturbed everyone's hearts, and they knew that it was the news of the secret agent.

"Let's see." He Wangshu was the most excited, he didn't want to do it himself, but just urged Zhong Kou to go and receive the letter.

Zhong Kou didn't want to deal with him, so he beckoned, and the window opened. The warm autumn sun came in, and with it, there was a white spirit bird, presumably with it, which was the information sent back by the secret agent.

"It's just Mo Zong, Zhenghou Mountain actually wants to meddle in the affairs of Los Angeles."

Zhong Kou said quietly, but his eyes were solemn.

"Them?" It was Lin Yun who answered, with a look of disbelief.

The grievances and hatred between Dongjimen and Zhenghou Mountain have a long history, one respects the sword, and the other values the runes, but fortunately, the two are far away, even if no one looks down on anyone, but usually the well water does not interfere with the river water. Now Zhenghou Mountain took the initiative to stir up the situation in Los Angeles, which was something that the people of Dongjimen could not have imagined.

"Hmph, didn't they claim to be cultivating immortals and asked, don't they ask about the world, and now they are impatient?" Zhou Zong sneered, but he didn't look down on this sect with the same origin from the bottom of his heart.

Zhong Kou pondered for a long time, and then said coldly: "There are many strange things about this matter, and we can't ignore it."

"How many men are coming?" Lin Yun thought in her heart and asked hesitantly.

"An elder brought a group of disciples, so there is no need to worry. I just went down the mountain a few days ago, and I guess I'm going to enter the boundary of Los Angeles in the next two days. "The foundation of Zhenghou Mountain is very large, and the masters are like clouds, but there are not many top masters, and the elders are only the third type of people, so Zhong Kou also looks like he is not worried.

"Who wants to meet them?" Zhou Zong had a dark face, raised his eyebrows and glanced at everyone, although the people from Zhenghou Mountain were not strong, but there was still Mo Zong here, he had to worry a little more.

Everyone's faces were solemn, Mo Zong and Zhenghou Mountain, a place where ordinary eight poles could not fight together, now joined forces, which was enough to make them fall into contemplation.

However, after listening to Zhou Zong's words, Xiong Junqi and He Wangshu still asked Ying: "I'll meet them."

Zhou Zong nodded, now that Lao Qi is unconscious, Lao Ba has no news, Duan Mou still has important matters to deal with, and he is limited in action because of Renjun's summoning order, and there are not many people who can make a move. In the past few days, Mo Zong has been ready to move, Zhong Kou and Lin Yun can't act rashly, and the people who can make a move are Xiong Junqi and He Wangshu.

Zhou Zong was the only one who pondered, and although he had a plan in his heart, he didn't respond to them. Instead, he turned his head to look at the stunned Qiu Fang, and smiled slightly, "What, really don't you go to sleep?" ”

"The disciples are waiting with the uncles." Qiu Fang pursed his lips and replied firmly.
