73. Demons from underwater
"It's a pity that I don't have any interest in these things." Gu Yuexi saw that there was a certain degree of similarity between his speech and demeanor with Hou Shaochun, so she did not hesitate and immediately poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Well, I understand your eagerness at the moment, after all, you have come from afar for your father's business." Xu Zhongfa saw that she did not intend to have an in-depth conversation with him, so he hurriedly prepared to reveal some "dry goods" to her, so as to stabilize her and urge her to be willing to be used by him.
"Yes, what I want to know most now is nothing more than the truth about the two murderers and my father's assassination, as for the so-called Snow Mountain Scroll and the Gate of the Otherworld, I just want to know the connection between them and my father, as for the rest, I don't want to know, I hope you don't waste your efforts." Although Gu Yuexi's words sounded very polite at first glance, her vigilant look and unsheathed long knife still implied that she was by no means a good dealer.
"Of course." Xu Zhongfa immediately responded, and then made two gestures to his subordinates, one was to check whether there were any "fish that slipped through the net" of the Xillong Model Army around, and the other was to try his best to find Wang Wenyuan's whereabouts, because he knew that he was a good card with infinite possibilities, and if he could be found, then her details and even some secrets of Sevi Silver would also surface in the future.
"It's quite thoughtful." Gu Yuexi couldn't help muttering when she saw seven or eight members of the Southern Association squatting next to the pit and tinkering with something.
"Thank you, girl, for the compliment." Xu Zhongfa smiled at her a little exaggeratedly, and then lit a cigarette "in style", and while swallowing the clouds and spitting smoke, he also showed a rather enjoyable look.
Seeing this, she immediately showed a look of extreme dissatisfaction, and while gently fanning the wind, she subconsciously retreated backwards.
After a while, a burly young man squatting next to the pit hurriedly stood up, then took three steps and two steps, and quickly came to Xu Zhongfa's side.
"Jahangi, what's wrong with you?" A look of confusion flashed across his face, and he asked in a low voice.
"Lord in charge, that puddle is almost 100 meters deep, and Wang Wenyuan's chances of surviving are very small." Jahangi frowned and whispered.
"Got it, go and tell the brethren that they can go at once." Xu Zhongfa was slightly stunned, and then said "I don't care".
"Yes." Jahanji received the order, and then ran towards the puddle out of breath.
"Miss Gu, please." Xu Zhong stretched out his palm with a smile, pointed to a dim path not far away, and said slightly respectfully.
Seeing this, Gu Yuexi's heart sank suddenly, and he probably guessed that he was likely to have encountered an accident, so he clenched his hands, bit his lower lip gently, and staggered forward.
"Girl, watch your step." Xu Zhongfa wiped his soaked back, and at the same time said with a little concern.
However, his words didn't seem to be of much use, after all, her demeanor was basically unchanged compared to Fang Cai.

"Brother Hui, in the pile of rubbles directly below, there is a squadron of the Muyue Party in ambush, and near an inlet in front of the left, some of the people of Songxin Hall are hidden, but the number is unknown." At the same moment, Mouthier lowered his glasses and said in some surprise.
"Oh, brother, don't be surprised, the Blackshirts are in full swing to mobilize their troops to march towards the Imphal region, and how can the Shillong authorities and Brookba, as the hardcore allies of the Imphal authorities, sit idly by?" Zhao Chenghui raised his head and said slowly in a rather mocking tone.
"However, we don't know what the Shillong authorities are, and they wish that because the Pal authorities and the Black Shirts were defeated, they would be able to provide conditions for them to get involved in eastern Assam." Mutier turned his head and said with a little confusion.
"Have you ever heard of this word, it is called fanning the flames?" Zhao Chenghui was silent for a moment, and suddenly such a word popped up.
"Brother Hui means that they rushed to the aid of Imphal this time to create a tense atmosphere and force the Blackshirts and the Imphal authorities to go to war quickly?" Mutier thought about it for a moment, and seemed to understand something.
"It's just one of them." Zhao Chenghui settled down, and then hesitated slightly: "I think they should have a bigger conspiracy." ”
"How?" After Muthier handed Pavlov the top-secret information he had compiled earlier, he swept his inquiring eyes to Zhao Chenghui.
"It's not clear yet, but I have a vague guess that the Shillong authorities have sent a total of two troops this time, one of which is responsible for assisting the Imphal authorities to resist the Blackshirts; The other force hid in the shadows, and when the right time came, they attacked the Imphal authorities from behind. Zhao Chenghui stood up and motioned to Moutier, it was time to retreat.
But before he could take a step, he saw a sudden ripple on the surface of the river near the inlet, followed by an extremely turbulent wave.
Seeing this, Zhao Chenghui immediately stopped, raised his glasses, looked at the dark river, and looked hard.
In the next second, his body couldn't help but tremble twice, because at the edge of his field of vision was a tall, large, sickle-shaped shark's dorsal fin.
"Brother Hui, why is there such a terrifying existence in this unfathomable underground river that can't see sunlight all year round?" Naturally, Mutier also saw this rather terrifying underwater demon, so he hurriedly asked.
But Zhao Chenghui didn't answer his question, and stood in place, not knowing whether he was shocked by the scene in front of him, or if he found something else.
Of course, the former is a little more likely, because the shark first swam slowly around a rock in the middle of the river, and then, with a slight startle, rushed to the edge of the inlet with extremely shallow water and dense reefs.
At this moment, the members of the Songxin Hall who were ambushed on the edge of the inlet to carry out reconnaissance missions were all so frightened that they had no choice but to throw down the daily necessities they were carrying and run to the side with them.
Strangely, in the face of extremely dry land, this 4-meter-long adult hammerhead shark not only did not turn back, but jumped high and jumped over a sandy field not far away.
"Kill it." Seeing that the sharks didn't mean to let them go, the members of the Songxintang had to raise their guns in a hurry and shoot indiscriminately.
But what they didn't expect was that the shark's body became illusory in an instant, and the bullets they fired also passed through the shark's shadow, but left no traces.
"Retreat." When the leader saw such a scene that could not be explained by common sense, he was naturally so frightened that he gritted his teeth and threw away all the belongings on his body, including a bronze artifact from the ancient era that he had worked so hard to obtain.
However, in the next moment, the shark, which was still in an illusory state, became much more solid, and at the same time, it turned around, rushed towards the bronze quickly, and swallowed it.
