After pulling the skin with the card man, Hongxiang went out of the Qinglou and returned to the inn with a body of fat powder, and hurried to Xiao Cong's room without even having time to change his clothes, pushed the door and said:

"Brother, I inquired!"

Xiao Cong was holding a book of formation methods and reading it carefully, he raised his head when he heard the sound, his nose unconsciously pursed, and his straight eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Where?"

Hongxiang was stunned when he heard this, and replied honestly:

"It's not easy for my brother to inquire about what he wants to know, so I only found out when I went to the Qinglou. ”

Xiao Cong looked at Hongxiang, who was standing on tiptoe in front of the door, for a moment or two, and said:

"Come in, close the door. ”

Hongxiang turned around and closed the door as he said, walked to the table with one foot deep and one foot shallow, a fragrant breeze blowing, Xiao Cong frowned, and said with disgust:

"If you hear something, say it quickly, and go take a shower after saying that, this smell, my God. ”

Hongxiang said softly, then sat down, and said with a serious face:

"I heard my sister in the Qinglou say that the tragic situation in Jinyun City and Yao Xiangcheng was caused by the Huangfu Mausoleum, and I originally wanted to kill chickens and monkeys, once and for all, but who made the matter known because of the sacrifice in the city lord's mansion, and now the city has issued a ban, and those who follow the trend and spread rumors will be killed!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cong put down his hand, gently tapped the wooden table with the middle finger of his right hand, and said thoughtfully:

"Using the disaster of two cities to change the will of several cities, although the means are cruel, it is indeed a good idea, and it is indeed like a cold-blooded king's doing, but with the treacherous mind of the emperor's tomb, how can it be so easy to let the matter be exposed, and the sacrifices in the city lord's mansion, the slaughter of the city is cruel enough, even if it wants to make people panic, it is not necessary to spend so much trouble and such a big public anger, this is ...... I'm afraid it's a series of sets given by the Dugu family to Huangfu Ling. ”

Hongxiang interjected on the side:

"Yes, brother, I also think so, after this catastrophe in Puqiu Country, the Huangfu Mausoleum no longer has prestige in the hearts of the people, the water can carry the boat and capsize the boat, the Huangfu Mausoleum has been suppressed repeatedly, and it is in the arms of the Dugu family!"

Xiao Cong nodded slowly,

"But there is another problem here, the Dugu family splashed dirty water on the Huangfu Mausoleum, relying on a royal gimmick to sacrifice the people, but it is too easy to break this rumor, as long as you find a few dead soldiers disguised as the Dugu family to confess their guilt, the Huangfu Mausoleum has a reputation for breaking the conspiracy of the Dugu family before, and the people believe that he is a little more than the Dugu family, even if it is just to turn the matter directly to the surface, and spread the news of the dispute between the Dugu family and the Xuanzhen royal family, the infamous reputation of the Dugu family in the mortal world will not lose the hearts of the people, but this guy has repeatedly acted stupidly, what is the intention？”

"It's hard to do it, there's something else involved......

Xiao Cong held his forehead with his hand, gently rubbed it and caught a glimpse of Hongxiang who was still sitting at the table, and said with a blank look:

"What are you doing here, hurry up and take a shower!"

Hongxiang's little face was full of dissatisfaction, slapped the table, stuck out his tongue, didn't say a word, and turned to leave.

At night, Xiao Cong, who was still reading hard with candles at the table, raised his head suddenly, walked to the window and opened the window, stretched out his head to look around, and frowned slightly.

From the room on the second floor of the inn

He sighed, closed the window and returned to the house to sit on the round stool where he had been sitting, his right hand gently stroked the bridge of his nose, and his face was cloudy.

In his spiritual sense, nearly a hundred unidentified breaths were wandering in the city, and his cultivation was not very strong, but it was very average, all of them were in the middle of the Heavenly Mirror, and his movements were not fast, covering the entire ancient city.

"These people are not here to do evil, but ...... ...... invited by the government"

Thinking of this, a little more determined,

"The official family invited such masters, it is really a bloody investment, it seems that the emperor Fuling personally ordered it, what is he going to do? Protect the safety of the people in the city? If this is the case, then the things in Jinyun City and Yaoxiang City really don't seem to be what he did. ”

"Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang? can be his temperament, such a good thing will be willing not to let people know. ”

After thinking about it, it was fruitless.

On the third day, the star cloud that Xiao Cong had been thinking about for a long time finally appeared.

The chance encounter happened at lunchtime, Xiao Cong and Hongxiang sat in the window seat of the restaurant yesterday, Xiao Cong had his back to the staircase, Hongxiang, who was sitting across the table, smashed Xiao Cong's arm with his hand, Xiao Cong raised his head, and saw Hongxiang raise his chin behind him with strange eyes, and muttered in a low voice:

"The Nebula is coming. ”

Xiao Cong turned his head with a face full of surprise, and saw Xingliuyun, who was wearing dragon pattern light armor, walking up the stairs with a few heavy-armored followers, and there was no trace of the domineering color in his memory between his eyebrows.

As soon as Xiao Cong turned his head, Xingliuyun's gaze fell on him, Xingliuyun's pupils shrank, and Xiao Cong smiled slightly.

After a while, Xingliuyun retracted his gaze, walked past Xiao Cong with steady steps and without squinting, Xiao Cong still smiled, turned his face to Hongxiang and said:

"Ya should have encountered something difficult, hurry up and eat, there is something serious after eating. ”

Hongxiang nodded, put a few pieces of lean meat into the bowl, and pulled a few bites vigorously.

Although Xingliuyun came late, it was a hasty matter, Xiao Cong cautiously followed Xingliuyun and a few people out of the restaurant, followed a street, Xingliuyun was very wise to send back left and right, and walked into a dead end used as a street marker instead.

Xiao Cong chuckled a few times,

"It's the same old routine again!"

At the end of the alley, Xingliuyun turned around, Xiao Cong didn't hide, he stood with his shoulders crossed at the mouth of the alley, the corners of his mouth were smiling like Fang Cai, and he said with some ridicule in his tone:

"Boss Star, don't come unharmed. ”

Xingliuyun showed a wry smile on his face, how ugly and ugly it was, and he quickened a few steps back to Xiao Cong's side, and said in a deep voice of concern:

"Why are you here!"

Xiao Cong raised his eyebrows lightly,

"Why, can't I be here?"

The nebula answered the question,

"You're also here for Jinyun City and Yao Xiangcheng. ”

Xiao Cong nodded, with a smile on his face, and said seriously:

"I couldn't wait for you on the fine side, so I came here, I just wanted to come and see, but who knew that I would encounter such a disaster?"

star

Liuyun was surprised when he heard this:

"Why, you've been here before?"

Xiao Cong replied truthfully:

"I stopped in Jinyun City on the way to the Endangered Sun Desert before, and the time was when the Dugu family controlled Jinyun City, so I left a mind to see what the Huangfu Mausoleum did. ”

Xingliuyun's face was even more surprised when he heard this,

"You've been to the Near Sun Desert?"

Xiao Cong nodded.

Xingliuyun gave Xiao Cong a bag and said:

"This is not the place to talk, follow the map, go to the designated place to turn, and you will talk to me slowly. ”

After finishing his words, he left directly.

Xiao Cong opened the bag, took out the map inside, opened it and looked at it carefully, leaned back, stuffed the map back into the bag and tightened the bag, patted Hongxiang's shoulder beside him, and said:

"Let's go. ”

Follow the map directions and keep walking, and finally come to the chai door of a village, Xiao Cong flattened his mouth and muttered to himself:

"Last time, it was a dry well outside the city, but this time it was changed to someone's house?"

As he spoke, he pushed the door open and entered.

Standing in the empty courtyard, Xiao Congfu took out the map again, and only remembered a rough idea before, and the details in this courtyard still need to be looked at carefully. After frowning for a long time, he looked up at the side room, then glanced at the map again, and walked forward after confirming that it was correct.

There was nothing else in the room, except for a few dilapidated cooking utensils and a mud stove.

The corners of Xiao Cong's mouth couldn't help twitching twice, and he said:

"This nebula is really going to find a place!"

Removing the large iron pot on the stove, Xiao Cong and Hongxiang entered through the furnace one after the other, put the iron pot back at the furnace and went down the wooden ladder, walked through several forks according to the map, and finally came to a simple underground stronghold.

As usual, there was no one here, the two walked into the main hall of the main house generously, sat down at a wooden table, Xiao Cong reached out to pick up the pot and shook it, heard the sound of water, and casually opened the two upside-down porcelain bowls, and poured a bowl for himself and Hongxiang.

Before the bowl of water was in his stomach, Xingliuyun came in a hurry, and before his ass could sit firmly on the bench, he asked in a hurry:

"Have you really been to the Desert?"

Xiao Cong put down the porcelain bowl in his hand, nodded, and got straight to the point:

"The Fire Saint Palace has produced a fire spirit half-immortal, do you know about this?"

The nebula shook his head,

"I don't know. ”

Xiao Cong sneered when he heard this,

"The wind is well hidden. ”

Xingliuyun just wanted to say something, but saw Xiao Cong wave his hand and said:

"There is a fire spirit half-immortal in the Fire Saint Palace, the boss should not make a noise, but the boss can inform the royal family and send someone to the Fire Saint Palace to reach an alliance with him, as long as the conditions are right, things should go very smoothly. ”

"Why?" said Starstream frowned.

Xiao Cong smiled slightly, "Because of the matter of the Fire Spirit Half-Immortal, the Fire Saint Palace has already formed an unavoidable relationship with the Dugu family, and it is just right for the Xuanzhen Imperial Family to send someone at this time." ”

"You make it clearer, what Liangzi!" said the Starstream Cloud Monkey urgently.

Xiao Cong sneered a few times,

"The Fire Saint Palace tempted the Dugu family

broke the seal of the fire spirit half-immortal, the Dugu family stole the chicken and did not lose the rice, not only the fire spirit did not get it, but even the divine jealousy sword was lost, how could they swallow this breath easily, if the boss didn't go, maybe the Fire Holy Palace couldn't bear the weight of the Dugu family, so it was attached. ”

Xingliuyun stroked his chin with his right hand and asked with a look of schadenfreude:

"The Divine Sword is lost...... How did you lose it?"

Xiao Cong smiled and said proudly:

"I was lucky enough to be brought by the hand. ”

Xingliuyun heard the words and took the case, with a look of disbelief,

"What, you're kidding me!"

Xiao Cong smiled unabated, and said lightly:

"I didn't lie to you, the Divine Jealousy Sword is now in my mustard, and I have sealed it with the Hidden Shadow Rest Array. ”

Starstream Cloud slowly moved his ass back to the bench and praised with his thumb up:

"You kid can do it!"

Xiao Congzhi smiled and said:

"I'm done talking, it's time to talk about yours, why are you here?"
