"You said it was Elder Dongguan Zheng who instructed you?" The corners of the Ninth Elder's mouth curled slightly.

"Exactly!" Shangguan Zhuo had already been frightened and sifted through the chaff, and he nodded frantically below.

Nan Rongfu on the side was shocked, he had thought that the person behind the scenes was a big fish, and he had also suspected some high-ranking elders, but he did not link this matter to Dongguan Zhengxiang.

Nan Rongfu was about to ask, when he suddenly noticed a cold glow passing through the corner of his eye.

"Don't!" Nan Rongfu reacted and exclaimed.

"Ugh."

Shangguan Zhuo clutched the sharp arrow stuck in his neck with both hands, and then hung down weakly and fell in a pool of blood.

Nan Rongfu looked at the Ninth Elder in disbelief, and said angrily, "Ninth Elder, why did you kill him?!" ”

The Ninth Elder smiled coldly: "Do you believe his words?" Elder Dongguan Zheng has lived in the Holy Mountain since she was a child, and she has never had contact with the outside world at all, so she will be a traitor to the Holy Mountain? This person obviously has an ulterior purpose, and wants to cause confusion and arouse our mutual suspicions, and there is no point in further trial. ”

"But......" Nan Rongfu was unwilling, but after thinking about it, there was nothing wrong with what the Ninth Elder said, so he couldn't refute it.

The Ninth Elder said: "The people here are all sinners who participated in the rebellion back then, don't look at them on the surface they are very obedient, these years of hard labor have already made them hate everyone in the Holy Mountain, and what they want to see most in their hearts is that we must not die well, so no one can trust them." ”

"How do you find out about the East Camp?" Nan Rongfu's voice carried a hint of anger.

"You're not going to ask King Jing?"

Nan Rongfu was speechless in his heart, would King Jing tell himself this kind of thing? Obviously, the Nine Elders were dissatisfied with their attitude towards him.

With the order of the Nine Elders, the slaughter continued, and the entire hall was filled with the smell of blood.

The Nine Elders sat above and enjoyed the pleasure of killing: "If you can take away the holy stone without knowing it right under my nose, these overseers will be more or less involved, and it is the easiest way to get rid of them. ”

Nan Rongfu disapproved of the Nine Elders' approach in his heart, he turned around and walked outside, pushed open the door of the hall, and left a sentence before leaving: "I will stay here for this time and guard this place for the Nine Elders." ”

Looking at Nan Rongfu's back, the Nine Elders' eyes were like swords, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Walking between the grottoes, Nan Rongfu breathed the choking and dirty air, and gradually became a little uncomfortable, he took out a black cloth from his body to cover his mouth and nose, and at this moment, there was a commotion not far away.

"Who?!"

"Stop!"

"Someone escaped?!"

The miners working in the distance shouted.

Nan Rongfu's heart moved, could it be Shangguan Zhuo's accomplice? He leaned over quietly.

Not far away, Dugu Shao cursed while running back to the original road: "This bastard, you took Lao Tzu's things and betrayed me!" ”

It turned out that because his clothes were incompatible with others, Dugu Shao recruited a lone miner and wanted to borrow his clothes to blend in.

At the beginning, the man saw Dugu Shao's clothes, thinking that he was a big man in the Holy Mountain, so he reluctantly agreed to Dugu Shao.

The man's face immediately changed, he had just heard from others that the overseers were being tried in the Nine Elders for colluding with outsiders, and he didn't want to be implicated because of the trouble, so he shouted loudly.

Dugu Shao's reaction was also very fast, and when he heard the shout, he knew that something was wrong, and he didn't care about half of his clothes, so he ran away.

"Luckily, there aren't too many guards around here, and the overseers have been recruited." Dugu Shao was secretly rejoicing, and suddenly found an extremely fast person in the crowd behind him.

Dugu Shao's face stiffened, that person was Nan Rongfu.

"Can't let him catch up, no, can't let him see me! Otherwise, my father's plan will be difficult! Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, Dugu Shao decisively gave up the mountain road and plunged into the grove next to him.

Due to the lack of vision, coupled with the prevention of forks, Nan Rongfu's pursuit became slowed down, and every time he chased for a while, he had to stop, and according to the traces on the ground, he judged the direction Dugu Shao chose.

And Dugu Shao's side, because he was not familiar with the terrain, his pace was not fast, and when he finally escaped from the woods and returned to the mountain road, a white figure stopped in front of Dugu Shao.

"Are you Jingyuan?" Dugu Shao had met this temple guard at Liang Qiuyue not long ago, and his white clothes at that time made Dugu Shao very impressed.

The man in white smiled and said, "General Shao has a good memory. ”

Dugu Shao asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Jing Yuan asked rhetorically: "What about General Shao, you don't rest in the mansion, why did you come to Dongshan?" ”

Dugu Shao looked back behind him, estimating that Nan Rongfu would soon catch up, he was anxious, and said in a deep voice: "I have something important to tell you, you take me out of here first." ”

Not long after the two left, Nan Rongfu rushed here, he looked at the white clothes in the distance, thoughtful.

Feeling the speed under his feet, Dugu Shao was very surprised, he had heard that Jing Yuan was good at body techniques, but he didn't expect that he could be so fast with himself.

The two of them ran wildly all the way, and ran directly to a medicine garden in Bird Vulgar Rain before stopping.

Dugu Shao lay on the fence next to the medicine garden and gasped, and he praised: "At your speed, the war horses of my Dongda Camp may not be able to outrun you." ”

"General Shao's words are serious, this is already my limit." Even so, Dugu Shao saw that Jing Yuan's face was not panting or beating, and he knew that the other party still had some strength left.

Jing Yuan looked at the medicine garden, picked an unknown red fruit, and handed it to Dugu Shao.

Dugu Shao hurriedly waved his hand, firstly, he heard Tu Menqing say that this medicine garden is the heart of Bird Vulgar Rain, Tu Menqing didn't dare to move, he didn't want to provoke Bird Vulgar Rain, and secondly, who knows if there is a problem with this thing, what if Jingyuan wants to poison him?

Jing Yuan seemed to guess what Dugu Shao was thinking, he smiled faintly, he ate one first, and then picked one off and handed it to Dugu Shao.

Seeing him like this, Dugu Shao couldn't refuse, he sent the fruit to his mouth, a sweet and sour fruity fragrance overflowed his mouth, and in an instant, the feeling of exhaustion in his whole body seemed to dissipate.

"It's worthy of being called the Holy Mountain, it's full of good things, if this wild fruit can be introduced into my East Camp." Dugu Shao's eyes lit up, his eyes rolled slightly, and the idea of wild fruit was in his heart.

"Now, General Shao, can you tell me what the so-called important matter means?"

Dugu Shao was hesitating in his heart, he suddenly thought of something, and looked at Jing Yuan vigilantly: "You have been following me?" ”
