Chapter 160: Debriefing
Yanjing City, inside the Yujinzhai Bookstore.
This is a stronghold of the Lotus Sect, and few people know about it.
In the Chamber of Secrets.
The old man in the purple robe sat on the futon in a meditative posture as always.
Half-open, half-closed eyes, as if there is no breath.
The incense on the table of offerings came out with smoke that seemed to be absent, but it did not rise straight up, nor did it disperse.
Instead, it followed some kind of invisible and untouchable passage, like flowing water, and kept going around the room.
The shopkeeper of the bookstore Han stood at the door, as if he was waiting for something.
The purple-robed old man didn't take long after his originally long breathing, from weak and inaudible, to returning to the level of a normal person, after exhaling a breath of turbid air in his mouth.
The vision in the house dissipated.
The original smoke seemed to have lost its restraint and disappeared without a trace.
Even the smell is a little thinner.
Shopkeeper Han went into the house and said, "Quan Lao! ”
Respectfully hugged him.
"Xiao Han, what's going on, making you wait so long?"
"The main thing is that some things can't be seen through, and there are a little too many things that happened tonight."
"Oh? There is still such a thing in Yanjing City? Let's hear it. ”
"The first thing is that near the Jinghe River, the tenth princess was attacked tonight, but it seems that she was prepared, only two people escaped from the attack, and the others were either killed on the spot, or they were captured alive by the Northern Defense Army in a huge net array, and after investigation, one of the two people who escaped was Senior Ning from the Black Lotus side.
Appears to be injured, but strangely hasn't been in contact with us. ”
The Black Lotus Sect and the Purple Lotus Sect are not subordinate to each other, even the most mysterious and highest-level White Lotus Sect among the most Lotus Sects cannot do things at will with the people of the other five sects.
Only the Purple Lotus Sect has always adhered to the canons and put its position in the position of protecting and nurturing the White Lotus Sect.
Because the origin of the personnel of the Purple Lotus Sect has always been selected and cultivated by the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect.
There is no doubt about their loyalty, and the exercises they practice are inherently restrained by the White Lotus Sect.
Of course, as long as the two cooperate with each other, they can actually promote each other's progress.
Martial arts are really wonderful.
The White Lotus Sect and the Purple Lotus Sect were also often regarded as one family, and even if the Lotus Sect was divided, they had no intention of splitting up.
As for the Golden Lotus Sect and the Black Lotus Sect, they are all in a state of listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement.
Although there is occasional cooperation, it is no longer considered a subordinate relationship.
Yanjing City can also be regarded as inheriting the old Wei heritage, and of course it will suppress all the sects that came from this church.
So they are also a foreign country here, and they should be together.
If you help within your ability, you can be considered a reliable ally.
The Purple Lotus Sect did not participate in this attack on the Ten Princesses, but they had vaguely heard of this kind of action.
But it is not known how the specifics are.
The Black Lotus Sect and the family are mixed together, of course, not for ideals, but because everyone has their own interests.
The family is not absolutely loyal to the royal family, and the two have developed to the point where they are today, basically a relationship of cooperation and competition.
Because the Yan Kingdom can't fight, the family is seriously involuted, and if the royal authority is too great, the family will not have a good time.
Of course, the family understands this truth, so it is only natural that they introduce the infamous Black Lotus Sect to take the blame.
Almost all the things that the family does against the royal family can be thrown out.
The Black Lotus Sect didn't care at all, and even their families were fighting with each other, and then threw the pot out.
With a foundation for cooperation, it will be difficult for the vast family with magical powers.
Of course, not everyone in the Black Lotus Sect can look down on it, at least they must have the standards of a second-rate family, and even a family like the Zhang family that is about to fall, they can't look down on it.
The families that cooperate are basically ambitious and powerful.
Shopkeeper Han even heard that the Lu family took the lead in this attack, and the Fan family, the Deng family, and the Wen family all participated.
The Black Lotus Sect also sent ginseng to join the foot.
It's not that you need the strength of the Black Lotus Sect, but you need the banner of the Black Lotus Sect.
The Black Lotus Sect's special technique secret technique, the Black Lotus's true qi is too recognizable.
It is difficult for others to imitate, and it is reasonable to have a genuine person from the Black Lotus Sect intervene and shake off the pot.
Quan Lao said: "Ning Yan? This guy is cautious and suspicious, he is most likely seriously injured this time, he must have found a secluded place with no one to recuperate alone, and he will not rush to contact us.
After all, we're just allies.
He was afraid that my Ziyang True Skill would work wonderfully, and if he became a puppet, he wouldn't be able to draw it.
Li Mengzhen, this little girl is really not simple.
Have you found out who those attackers were? ”
Shopkeeper Han: "The time is still too short, I haven't heard of any family's manpower transferred, according to guess, it is likely to be the rabble of the temporary combination, the 'robbers' who specialize in helping the family wipe their butts." ”
Quan Lao: "These families, they really accept everyone and raise everyone, those people are unruly, where are the obedient and obedient masters, they also want to live in the name of the family."
The situation in Yanjing City is becoming more and more tense, these people are uncertain factors, the family is huge, and they are born invincible.
If it's really them, then it's just an outcast of temptation, and it is estimated that those families have not done any action to respond, right? ”
Han shopkeeper: "Quan Lao is wise, the family has not made any moves to respond to these people, and it may be that he gave up after seeing the Northern Defense Army, but he has not received any information, where is there a move to prepare to respond, it should be as Quan Lao said." ”
Quan Lao: "Don't pay attention to these, it has nothing to do with us, the royal family is struggling hard, what is the second thing?" ”
Shopkeeper Han: "The second thing is that there was a terrible roar in the Zhang family, it seems that someone broke into the Zhang Mansion, and then there was a fight, and now there is no fighting in the Zhang Mansion, but the martial law is serious, and there is no news."
The eyes of the major families all transmitted the information back to the family, and the biggest reaction seemed to be the Lu family, and almost all the core clansmen participated in the family meeting.
Corresponding Fan, Wen, Deng, Liu...... The Xiao family has recruited people to discuss, but it is not as big as the Lu family's reaction.
Inside the palace, the imperial study was lit up all night, and I didn't know what I was discussing.
The roar of the Zhang family almost alarmed the entire Yanjing City. ”
Quan Lao: "What do you think about this?" ”
Shopkeeper Han: "The Zhang family has been invaded, so many people care, it means that things must be not ordinary, although we don't know, but judging from the reaction, it is likely that the Lu family took advantage of the 'defense emptiness' of Yanjing City tonight, and wanted to test the former first family, but the boat capsized in the gutter."
As for what hole cards the Zhang family has, no one knows now, and it depends on the follow-up reactions of the two families to deduce. ”
Quan Lao nodded, and recognized the inference of the shopkeeper Han: "Well, it's not bad, we won't participate in these things first, what happened to the people who were transferred before?" ”
Shopkeeper Han: "It's basically going step by step, there are no accidents, but there is a little bit of a subordinate who is a little strange." ”
Quan Lao: "What can make you strange?" ”
Shopkeeper Han: "It's the saint who said that she was going to Yanjing City, but there is no news at all so far, which is really weird." ”
Quan Lao laughed: "Haha, Xiao Han, you don't care about this, the white lotus vein has always been the most mysterious, even me, I don't know very well, the saint selected by the Holy Mother must have its own truth."
Since she has no contact, we just treat it as if it didn't happen and do our own thing. ”
"Yes."
