Chapter 6: Conspiracy and Clues
Li House.
The two white lanterns hanging in front of the door have been removed, the mourning hall has been dismantled, and the body has been buried this morning.
In the second half of the night, it was the time when people fell into a deep sleep, and the Li family, who had been busy for several days in a row, were so tired that they couldn't hear even the dog barking.
In a side room in the backyard, there was a faint candle flame flickering, and through the window, it could be seen that two people were sitting inside, talking.
"It's up to you to confess to you, people's hearts are unpredictable, and sometimes you offend someone without knowing a word unintentionally. Don't underestimate anyone, even a beggar on the side of the road may give you a life-saving sip of water when you are most in danger! ”
"I see!"
"Remember, more friends are always better than enemies. In this world, you can get 50% of people if you say something good, and you can get 70% of people if you give something. Say something nice, give something and you can get ninety percent of the people, if you do what you like and just the right amount of benefits, you will get nine out of nine people, and the rest of the people don't have to think about it. ”
"Do you have to go?"
"I'll leave tonight, if I don't go, I really can't go! If they come to me, remember what I say, don't conflict with them, they can do whatever they want. ”
"Click!"
The door suddenly opened, and a man in black with a black mask on his face walked in.
The two people in the room were scared silly.
After a while, the young and vigorous Li Xiang came back to his senses first and said, "Who are you?" ”
As he spoke, he shielded the gray-haired old man beside him behind him.
The flower-haired old man was not an outsider, but Li Shuangdao, who was supposed to be lying in the grave.
He didn't even die!
Li Shuangdao was wearing a night suit ready to run away, and he was over the age of six, but his face did not have many wrinkles, he was very easy-going, like a rich man, and his slightly cloudy eyes revealed the vicissitudes of the world.
He looked at the man in black and sighed secretly in his heart: What should have come is still coming, he didn't hide after all!
The man in black held a copper crossbow and aimed it at Li Shuangdao's heart, and said, "Do you know this?" ”
Li Shuangdao glanced at it, hung his head and said, "Iron arm copper crossbow, heavy weapon in the army!" ”
The man in black said coldly: "So, you see my identity?" ”
Li Shuangdao said: "Guess one or two!" ”
The man in black said: "Talk about it! If you guess right, you will get a prize, but if you guess wrong, hum! ”
Li Shuangdao shuddered, and said cautiously: "The iron-armed copper crossbow is a heavy weapon in the army controlled by the imperial court, and only the border army has it. My Lingzhou is not a border land, so the iron-armed copper crossbow in the hands of the adult must be a certain general's private nest...... Collectible. ”
He secretly glanced at the man in black, he knew very well that it was a felony to harbor heavy weapons in the army in private, and he would lose his head, and he didn't dare to say any more.
The man in black said: "Go on!" ”
Li Shuangdao stubbornly said: "I currently have two generals in Lingzhou from the border areas, one is Gu Yanzhang, the general of Zhenxi, but General Gu has passed his prime, and he has been idle at home for many years, so he has long ignored the world, so it can't be him!" ”
He continued: "The other is the former hussar general, now Ning Hou! The adult must be from Ning Hou's command! ”
The man in black said: "It is worthy of being the "know-it-all" of Xining County, and it is worthy of its name!" He asked again: "Do you know Xu Zhongheng?" ”
Li Xiang took over at this time and said: "The youngest lieutenant in the Xuanwei under Ning Hou's command, who broke through the martial artist realm at the age of eighteen, and the martial artist Xiaocheng at the age of twenty, is expected to become a martial arts master before the age of thirty, and is the first person of the younger generation in Sanchuan County!" ”
He looked at the man in black and exclaimed, "Isn't your lord Captain Xu of Xuanwei?" ”
The man in black didn't speak, he took off the black mask on his face, revealing the stereotypical face underneath.
Li Xiang was shocked again: "Little Divine Doctor! ”
The person who came was Wang Cheng, with a wheat-colored face, stereotypical without any expression, and two thick and black sword eyebrows as if they were drawn with pen and ink.
Li Xiang didn't expect that the man in black was actually Wang Cheng pretending to be him, he was scared half to death just now, and he said with palpitations: "Do you fucking know, people are scared to death!" ”
"I'm sorry!"
Wang Cheng said so, but if he did it again, he would still do it, if not, how could he get so many things out of Li Shuangdao's mouth.
As he thought, the men in black were indeed from the army, from the same kind of feeling, and he was very sure of that.
He put away the iron arm copper crossbow, looked at Li Shuangdao and said, "The knife master has played a good plan for the golden cicada to get out of the shell!" ”
Li Shuangdao smiled bitterly: "I can't pretend to be dead!" If I don't pretend to be dead, they'll be looking for me! ”
After dealing with the three sects and nine streams for so many years, he has long been an old man, and from the moment he learned that Mixi Town had disappeared, he saw that this matter was strange, and even guessed that a certain force was making a move, so he simply closed the door and pretended to be dead, for fear that someone from that force would come to the door.
As he expected, in fact, Zhu Wei was the first to look for him, wanting to inquire and arrest Wang Cheng through him, and seeing that he was dead, Zhu Wei found Yan Tongli Yan Sanye.
He asked, "Is Yan San dead?" ”
Wang Cheng said: "He's dead!" ”
Li Shuangdao's face showed a look of "sure enough", and said: "Ning Hou does everything well, what he wants to hide will definitely not let others know, he will definitely kill himself!" ”
He suddenly looked at Wang Cheng, no one expected that this person would become the biggest variable!
Although he did not see the scene of Wang Cheng booby-trapping Xuanwei with his own eyes, it could be seen from Wang Cheng holding an iron-armed copper crossbow that there must have been Xuanwei who died in the hands of Wang Cheng, and there must have been more than one Xuanwei.
Wang Cheng actually killed more than ten Xuanwei by himself, that was a warrior carefully selected by Ning Hou, anyone who was put into the army was a fierce general who charged into battle, and he was also a first-class master when he was put into the rivers and lakes.
Li Shuangdao had to say: This time he really looked away.
"Dad, listen to what you mean, it was Ning Hou who planned this conspiracy? What kind of identity is he, who can afford to spend so much effort to bring disaster to our little Xining County? Li Xiang was puzzled.
Wang Cheng hadn't completely digested the information he had set out earlier, and said suspiciously: "I've heard of Ninghou Zhou Zhaoguang, isn't he in Tiandu Mansion?" According to this, thousands of miles, why did he send people to Mixi Town? ”
Li Shuangdao analyzed: "Ning Hou this person, is the younger brother of today's son, he learned a good martial arts when he was young, entered the army at the age of sixteen, led an army at the age of twenty, led an army at the age of twenty, led an army of 50,000 at the age of twenty-four to guard the northern border, and then recovered my hometown of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Dongshan County, Donghai County, the Son of Heaven enshrined Ninghou, and the most prosperous Tiandu Mansion in my Lingzhou gave him a fief!" ”
"Yu Ming, he is already above 10,000 people under one person, Yu Li, hundreds of thousands of people in Tiandu Mansion have become his subjects, and the glory and wealth are inexhaustible, there is nothing he can see in Mixi Town, unless there is a great treasure!"
Wang Cheng thought secretly, in fact, he also thought of these just now, but he really couldn't think of any treasures in Mixi Town that could be worth thinking about Ning Hou.
Li Shuangdao saw that he was about to speak, waved his hand and said: "You don't have to ask me, I don't know, Ning Hou will not hesitate to let the people of a town disappear, and he will definitely not let outsiders know what it is." ”
Wang Cheng changed the topic again and said, "Is there any way to make Mixi Town reappear?" ”
What he was most worried about now was those people in Mixi Town, seven days, they would support seven days at most, so he told the information he got from Zhu Wei's mouth again.
Li Shuangdao couldn't help but be moved after hearing this, thousands of people can support them for seven days at most, and they will definitely die after seven days, that is thousands of people, living people, not chickens, ducks and geese, he can't let such a thing happen in public or private.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Such a big town, with thousands of people, will disappear when it is said to disappear, which is definitely not something ordinary people can do. If you can do this, it's either a spell or a witch! ”
Wang Cheng was shocked, spells, does this kind of thing really exist? Isn't it the kind of charlatan trick that breathes fire in the mouth and puts the oil pot in the oil pot with his bare hands?
He has been here for more than a year, the Great Zhou is an ancient dynasty with a history of thousands of years, its language, writing, customs, and habits are extremely similar to the Chinese feudal era, so he has never paid attention to the theory of gods and ghosts.
Until today, he has seen more powerful martial artists, and just like in the martial arts world, he began to change his mind, maybe he really came to a world with immortals.
If there are really immortals in this world, he must become immortals, just to see his parents, relatives, and friends in that world again.
Certain!
"Dad, do we really have immortals in this world?" Li Xiang was skeptical.
Li Shuangdao said: "I don't know if there are immortals, but there are such things as ghosts, do you think what I usually tell you is bragging?" ”
He looked at Li Xiang, who habitually touched his nose and laughed twice.
Li Shuangdao said again: "If you want Mixi Town to reappear in the world, you can only find those masters who can do spells!" ”
"Does Dao Ye know where there is such a master?" Wang Cheng hurriedly asked.
Li Shuangdao slowly spoke: "Baiyun Mountain!" ”
Wang Cheng thought about it, but he didn't remember which mountain in Xining County this was, and said, "Master Dao, how to go to Baiyun Mountain?" ”
Li Xiang took over and said, "Baiyun Mountain? Dad is talking about the sloppy Taoist? Does he really know spells? ”
He had seen that Taoist master, and he had a very bad impression of that person, sloppy, like a second-rate person, drinking and gambling, how could there be such a cultivator.
Li Shuangdao glared at him and said, "How can you speak?" Your words are still obtained with the help of the normal Taoist! Anyway, you'll be fine these days, so you can accompany the little doctor on a trip and invite the normal Taoist to me! ”
It's okay not to mention this stubble, but when it comes to this, Li Xiang really wants to rush to the sloppy Taoist and give him a few slaps now, and give him some broken words.
At dawn the next day, Li Xiang and Wang Cheng rode fast horses to Baiyun Mountain.
