Chapter 9: The Xuannu Sect
The dungeon of the Great Wall of the Dragon is not something that ordinary people can enter, and those who can enter can't get out.
The dungeon was wet and dim, and it was not clear for a while, whether it was water or blood that was stepping on it, and it could only be distinguished by the taste.
The corridor is also like a dragon's body, two Yuguo soldiers pressed down on Lu Fanchi, and a path went straight to the depths, and the strange thing was that the prisoners on both sides were very quiet, and there was no ghost crying wolf howl.
Lu Fanchi was thrown into the deepest cell, and the two Yuguo soldiers were also very casual, and they touched him indiscriminately and left.
Fortunately, the book and the stone seal have been hidden in the soles of his shoes, and he has been walking so hard that the soles of his feet are uncomfortable.
He quickly found a place to sit down and surveyed the dungeon, except for the sound of flies flapping their wings and rats squeaking and running, there was no sound in the dungeon.
Lu Fanchi was very inexplicable, this Yuguo can't fly over, and he can't walk through, that's to make people dig holes and climb over?
Now he should figure out how to get out, he stood up and felt blind in the cell, it was so dark that there was not even a glimmer of fire.
He stretched out his hand to the front and touched a strange thing, and swiped it with his fingers, and could clearly perceive that the things in front of him were layer by layer, and they were very soft.
Suddenly, an evil wind blew, and Lu Fanchi's arm was scratched by something fluffy, and goosebumps broke all over his body.
"Have you touched enough?"
A hoarse question made Lu Fanchi quickly retreat, there were still people in this cell.
"Sorry, I didn't know anyone, I couldn't see clearly."
Lu Fanchi recalled the touch just now, but he couldn't have touched the wrinkles on the old man's face.
"The people locked up here can't see clearly, just stay honestly, what did you do to come in?" The old man's voice was as low as pulling an erhu.
"I... I flew over the city, and... Came in. Lu Fanchi said in a hesitant manner.
"Hmph, there are still people flying from the Great Wall of Imprisoned Dragons in the past few years, it seems that you are lucky that you are not dead, but you are also dying." The old man sneered.
"Huh? Then Yuguo can't enter and exit? Lu Fanchi wondered.
"You can't get in or out, don't you know?" The old man snorted like thunder, and the chain around his neck kept making noise as he spoke.
"Yukuni is so eccentric? That... What does it mean to be dying? Lu Fanchi continued to ask.
"Eccentric? It's the people of Yuguo who are weird! I don't know when I started to close the country, and as for dying.... Hey, hey, hey. ”
As soon as the words fell, the old man suddenly went crazy, a pair of red eyes appeared in the shadows, and he pounced on Lu Fanchi, and the yellow teeth opened his mouth, wanting to bite off a piece of meat from Lu Fanchi's body.
Lu Fanchi kicked the old man away in a panic, and then took two steps back, the old man got up and rushed up again, fortunately, the chain behind him was tied to his neck, and at this moment, there was only one step away from Lu Fanchi.
Lu Fanchi stretched out his leg and smashed a kick in the old man's face, and his mouth full of yellow teeth festered under his feet.
"What is this holding me in! I actually touched him just now! Feed! Feed! Lu Fanchi then shouted outside.
It was the bow-bearer who was looking for the noise, but there was more than one, and behind him was a middle-aged man in a cloak and a bronze mask.
The bow-bearer opened the cell door, instructed the middle-aged man to enter, and then left.
Lu Fanchi raised his hand vigilantly to protect the front and asked, "You... What kind of person. ”
The middle-aged man gradually approached and said in a low voice: "Xuannu... Let me pick you up. ”
Lu Fanchi realized that something was wrong with the middle-aged man in front of him, took half a step back, and pretended to be stupid: "Xuannu? What Xuannu? ”
"Don't be afraid, I'm really here to pick you up, otherwise you'll be in a cell with this monster?"
The middle-aged man politely gave way.
Lu Fanchi was skeptical, at least leave this place first, everything before was as correct as his conjecture, Xuannu had other people besides the assassin and herself.
"How do you know that I was sent by the Xuannu, and how do you prove that you are the Xuannu's person." Lu Fanchi asked.
The middle-aged man stopped in the corridor, turned his head to look, but did not answer, and invited his hand to signal Lu Fanchi to follow closely behind.
At this moment, Lu Fanchi's heart has no bottom, he can only choose to believe.
The cells on the left and right sides of the corridor have a strong smell of herbs, and most of them are only locked up by one person, just like the old man just now, with crimson eyes and wrinkles on the surface, but except for the face, the skin on the hands seems to be very smooth.
Walking to the door of the dungeon, the light outside forms a dividing line with the darkness inside the dungeon, as if yin and yang are separated.
The bow-bearer sat in front of the gate, playing with the blade in his hand, and stopped his movements as the middle-aged man passed.
The middle-aged man spoke softly and said, "General Mo Zhao, people, I'll take it away." ”
Mo Zhao nodded, and then lowered his head and played with the blade.
Lu Fanchi followed behind, and also glanced at it, why was this Mo Zhao fierce and vicious just now, and his attitude changed suddenly, could this middle-aged man in front of him be a big official?
The two walked out of the gate, the dazzling sunlight made Lu Fanchi raise his hand to block it, and from the gap between his fingers, he vaguely saw that the middle-aged man invited him to sit in the carriage.
Lu Fanchi did not let go of any relief, and got into the carriage with the middle-aged man.
The groom drank, and the carriage ran away at great speed, Lu Fanchi didn't know where the destination was, maybe it was under the influence of the middle-aged man, and he was silent for a long time.
After leaving the Great Wall of the Imprisoned Dragon for a few miles, the middle-aged man spoke, "You can speak now. ”
Lu Fanchi asked softly, "So cautious?" Why is that? Xuannu's people can't see the light? ”
The middle-aged man smiled through the bronze face: "It can also be understood in this way, but it is more afraid of the general on the edge of the Great Wall." ”
Lu Fanchi didn't know which general it was, but he had already asked questions in the dungeon, so he didn't say it a second time.
The middle-aged man realized this and said with humility: "Don't worry, I do belong to the Xuannu God, otherwise I won't wait for you here for seven days, let alone let Mo Zhao press you down into the dungeon." ”
"All this is for General Chu on the edge of the Great Wall to see, because except for you, no one will pass by here during the period when Yuguo is closed, the situation in Yuguo is like fire and water, there are crises everywhere, and it is difficult to be a gentleman."
Lu Fanchi sighed and pondered, it turned out that what Xuannu said about reporting within seven days meant this, but she didn't know what she said, she wanted to subconsciously play with the people he arranged.
If others find out that they have a purpose to go to Yuguo, and there is unnecessary suspicion, it is estimated that those two arrows are not warnings, but fatal.
"With you, there are a few people who are Xuannu." Lu Fanchi asked.
"No, one has just died recently, and you have arrived in exactly twelve people." The middle-aged man said flatly.
When Lu Fanchi heard this, his toes couldn't help but clasp the discussion and book, he didn't dare to have much expression on his face, his heart sank, and said, "Including Mo Zhao from Fangcai? ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The current situation of Yuguo, Mr. has seen it in the dungeon, and I don't know what to think." ”
The bumpy journey made it difficult for Lu Fanchi to concentrate, and the incident of this assassin made him even more afraid to talk nonsense, and the person in front of him was obviously testing himself.
Now one more action can arouse suspicion, and he said directly: "Those people in the dungeon are not prisoners, right? However, he can still speak clearly, which means that he is not an ordinary medicine man. ”
The middle-aged man was full of smiles in the mask, but Lu Fanchi couldn't see it, and he didn't know if the middle-aged man was satisfied with this answer, but was silent for a while.
Lu Fanchi also immediately realized that this person's silence was a second test, and he wanted to calm down.
"Mr. is not the designated person of the Xuannu." The middle-aged man nodded very approvingly, and continued, "Then I don't hide it below, so I opened the skylight and said something bright, the twelve Xuannu, of course, excluding Mr. You, are all performing their duties in Yuguo, but they can't directly take over the Yuguo Dynasty, I hope that your arrival, Sir, can make some changes." ”
"And today's Yuguo can be said to be one word: 'chaos'! King Yu was critically ill, and the national teacher was in power, not only ordered people to seal the customs, but also let some drug dealers privately refine medicine, ostensibly the national teacher gave medicine to King Yu, but in fact it was the preparation of weapons for the medicine makers, and Xuannu did not want to win the war so inhumanely. ”
Lu Fanchi couldn't help asking: "The national teacher is in power, covering the sky with one hand, and refining in private?" Do other officials want to do the same? ”
The middle-aged man said: "After all, it is a national teacher and not a king, so it is inhumane, although some people oppose it, although it is forbidden on the surface, but no one can stop it in private." ”
"This medicinal herb business can be described as a million profits, and many merchants also privately sell the two necessities of the medicine man's beast geranium and bone vine, but it's a pity that we can't catch these, and Mr. Lao has come out of the way."
Lu Fanchi answered: "Either kill the national teacher, or cure King Yu's illness, or rather, both things must be achieved." ”
Although it gets to the point, it's easier said than done, not to mention hands-on, he can't heal, he can only use his brain.
The middle-aged man said helplessly: "Yes, and the front line is retreating, a few of us planned to negotiate peace with Xuanguo, but failed, the national teacher faction did not want to negotiate peace, and installed an assassin as a guard to accompany the envoys, after we received the news, ordered Tang Xiu to go to recapture the peace book, but the ferry boat did not expect to be attacked, and the peace book was also gone." ”
Lu Fanchi broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, if they traced it and learned that the direct cause of Tang Xiu's death was himself, and the attack was indirect, then it was himself who should be damned now, not the national teacher.
This discussion and the book still cannot be handed over.
But in this way, the suspicion that the flying ferry assassinated so slowly was also solved, and it was the guard installed by the national teacher who killed the envoy, and the guard was killed by Tang Xiu, who arrived late, to cover up the traces and drip soul water.
In this way, at that time, Tang Xiu really secretly followed the last group of people on the boat, and knew that he and Xiao Qi'er hid their identities.
Tang Xiu didn't say it, he couldn't recognize it at the time, and after recognizing it, he committed suicide because he was afraid of Su Sheng and Xiao Qi'er.
This was not so cautious and hasty at the time, and he would not have died in his own hands...
Lu Fanchi continued: "The national teacher expected that you would go to recapture the Book of Discussion? ”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "No, the attacker is a Shu monk, not a national teacher." ”
"Why did the monks of Shu Kingdom come?"
The middle-aged man continued to puzzle and said: "The condition for Xuanguo's peace this time is that the alliance will work together to tilt the wind direction in Shu Kingdom, and after the monks of Shu Kingdom received the first-hand news, they directly sent people to attack the flying boat of the Immortal Alliance. ”
"So decisive? Someone passed on the real message, national teacher? Lu Fanchi guessed.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the national teacher shouldn't be like this, even if it's to prevent Yuxuan and the Alliance, he won't offend the Immortal Alliance because of this." ”
The messy information was all received in his mind at once, Lu Fanchi was a little dizzy, and the errand of the Xuannu was really not easy to do.
The middle-aged man reminded: "We can be called disciples of the Xuannu Sect, but don't make a noise, Mr. Wang, don't ask more." ”
Lu Fanchi nodded and asked, "Then where are we going now?" ”
"That's naturally arranged for your mansion, sir."
