Chapter 189: The Lingnan Journey Begins
I began to search for the information of the Twelve Heavenly Officials in preparation for this trip to Lingnan.
The Ninth Princess has gained the upper hand and can mobilize any resources, even Ma Guifei is not in her eyes.
Regarding the Twelve Heavenly Officials, the previous generation of Jianghu had already made a conclusion, and their ability was undoubted, and they had always been god-like existences.
Ma Guifei's group of people, compared to the twelve heavenly officials, can only be inactive ants.
Every hundred years, there are such magical figures, their comings and goings are legendary, earth-shattering climaxes, suddenly disappearing, and no trace can be found.
According to the closest to the truth, they were disheartened by the force of the Eight Sages and left directly, and there were people in the capital who kept chasing and killing them, but only a corpse was left.
No one has ever been able to see the true face of the Twelve Heavenly Officials, they don't want to have any contact with the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains at all, and no amount of glory and wealth can attract them.
I returned to the courtyard and went out of my way to study the materials repeatedly, hoping to get an accurate answer and go to Lingnan to solve all the mysteries.
The Eight Sages sent someone over and sent a whole box of materials, including some photos, and the label on the photos was the Twelve Heavenly Officials.
They look the same as ordinary people, but what everyone does is unbelievable.
The Eight Sages once had a group of hostile forces, spread all over the world, as far as Europe and Africa.
Twelve people took action and sent all the heads of these enemies to the palace of the Eight Wise Kings, and they made indelible contributions to the expansion of the Eight Wise Kings' power.
But in the end, they didn't take any credit and left in style.
According to the clues on the side of the Eight Sages, these people came to repay their kindness, and did not want any money or nominal reward.
In this box of materials, there are dozens of topographic maps, all of which are hand-drawn maps of the Lingnan area.
The people who tracked down the Twelve Heavenly Officials were close to the final result several times, but they still left the body behind and died without a problem.
While reading these materials, I felt everyone's awe of the Twelve Heavenly Officials.
No one knows where the twelve came from? Who is the Shicheng sect?
What is the state of their existence now?
On the side of the Eight Sage Kings, they don't know why, they don't even know, what did their ancestors do for these twelve heavenly officials? Received such a generous reward from them?
After I finished reading the information, the Eight Sages King personally called me and told me: "Ye Tian, the situation in Lingnan is sinister, don't be too obsessed with the goal, and put the whole body in the first place at all times." Let me tell you, there were many people in the past who had investigated the Twelve Heavenly Officials. Accompany your life, but get nothing. You're my friend and a rare young man, and I don't want to lose someone like you. ”
I could hear that there was deep worry in the voice of the Eight Sage Kings, the Twelve Heavenly Officials were too mysterious, too many people had paid for it, and his worries were not unreasonable.
I only asked him one sentence, no matter how mysterious the characters are, when they worked for the Eight Sages King, did they talk about their own background?
"Ye Tian, nothing, not at all as you imagined. If this matter had been easy to deal with, it would have ended long ago, and there would have been no need to drag it out until now. If you feel dangerous, you can tell Ma Guifei and refuse to go. ”
The Eight Sages King didn't know that now the Ninth Princess was in charge, and she had completely surpassed Ma Guifei.
I didn't back down, and whenever something happened in the rivers and lakes, I had an obligation to solve the puzzle.
The Eight Sages King provided a clue that there were two people in the Twelve Heavenly Officials, it should be a husband and wife, and they left first, and the remaining ten people left after another two years, and then lost the news.
"Ye Tian, until now, I can't judge, are they human beings or gods?"
I spent a week gathering information and making a plan.
In the second week, I said goodbye to Ma Guifei and stepped on the plane to Lingnan.
The Eight Sages King has already issued an order for a Jianghu force over there to cooperate with me.
They are locals who have an understanding of the geographical characteristics of Lingnan and the characters in the rivers and lakes.
With the cooperation of these people, I can be like a fish in water.
On the plane, there was information from there, and a team was sent to meet me at the airport.
To my delight, Milan had already arrived there early and would have met me at the airport.
According to Milan, she believed that the Twelve Heavenly Officials had gone into hiding, some of them were dead, and only some were still alive.
The purpose of our visit is to bring these living people back to the capital and hand them over to the Eight Sages King, and ignore the rest.
She said it categorically, and it seemed that the cooperation between the two of us was completely up to her.
I didn't refute, just responded with silence.
On the phone, Milan's tone was very tough: "Ye Tian, the situation in Lingnan is complicated, you must listen to me, don't act rashly, otherwise, your life will be in danger." No force deserves permanent trust, and it is already common for them to betray others in the face of money and interests. ”
She gave all the information about this Jianghu force, as long as you check it on the Internet, you can know that their past Jianghu identities have always been between good and evil, and there are indeed many bad cases.
I pointed out that in the historical materials of the Twelve Heavenly Officials, it has been divided into two groups, the first part is the husband and wife, and the second part is the remaining ten people.
Milan agreed with me, she had already read the box of information, and discussed it with the Eight Sages.
Of course, she still emphasized her own thoughts, catch these people and transport them to the capital, and other things have nothing to do with us.
"Ye Tian, it's not a good thing to know too many secrets, we can only be cautious in our words and deeds when we go to Lingnan, and it is enough to complete the orders of the Eight Sages King, don't be greedy."
It's hard for me to believe that Milan, which is arbitrary in the capital, will become like this on this side of the territory, which is really beyond my expectations.
I looked out from the plane and saw the rolling hills and lush greenery everywhere, showing the vitality of the boom......
Anyone who sees this scene will only think of the power of nature, but will not think of so many cruel events that have happened in Lingnan.
Since ancient times, it has been a wild place, and it is difficult for outsiders to survive except for the locals.
In all dynasties, most of the exiled officials died in the local area after coming here, and they could never return.
Therefore, Lingnan is a place to talk about the tiger's color change.
When the plane landed, I met Milan and the team sent by the Jianghu forces.
We immediately convened an emergency meeting, and the other party gave us a map, and the legendary Twelve Heavenly Officials were operating in that mountain col.
The idea of these people is very simple, sneak up, as long as they find someone related to the Twelve Heavenly Officials, immediately attack with an anesthetic needle, and then tie them up and transport them away directly, and take various ways to break them, so that they don't have the power to fight back.
And they gave another additional condition, we can only act within two weeks, and we must not delay it for too long, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
These people have rich experience in jungle warfare, and they have also conducted in-depth research on the Twelve Heavenly Officials.
However, they were not completely sure, and could only act according to the command of the Eight Wise Kings, and as for the rest, they would accept it when they saw it.
