The army marched out. At the same time, in the study of the Linghu family's mansion in the imperial capital, Linghu Miao was reporting to his father about the search last night: "Father, according to the situation reported by the guards of the West Gate, the people of the Criminal Department launched a search within a radius of ten miles in the western suburbs, and finally determined that the last place where the fourth sister appeared was on the mountain road of Dengniangniang Temple, and the people of the Criminal Department conducted a detailed investigation in that area, but. He didn't go on, and the results were clear.
With a slight hum, Ling Huming carried his hands behind his back and paced back and forth, he was not surprised by this result, the person who could kidnap Yan'er was definitely a strong man who was rarely seen in ordinary times, if he deliberately destroyed the traces, those people in the Criminal Department would definitely not be able to find any clues. He did it with such fanfare just to surprise the snake and see the reaction of various forces in the empire.
"Okay, Miao'er, you haven't slept all night, go down and rest. Linghu Ming'er raised his head and said with a vague expression.
"Yes, Father. Lowering his neck slightly, Ling Hu Miao bowed and retreated. His face was not good, and his eyes were full of worry.
The dark wall on the side moved away silently, causing Fox Batian to move out, and the form of the whole person revealed an indescribable majesty. Behind him, followed by a middle-aged samurai with a fierce and indifferent description, this man's face was prominently outlined, and the lines were distinct, like a knife and an axe, and you didn't need to look closely to know that he was a determined person.
"Second uncle. After Linghu Ming ordered Linghu Batian to salute slightly, he also bowed his head slightly to the middle-aged warrior, this person's name is Linghu Guang, although he is also surnamed Linghu, but he does not have the blood of the Linghu family, he is an orphan. It is a disciple secretly accepted by the old lady. High-ranking Warlord. At the same time, he is also the current leader of the Linghu family's shadow guard, except for a limited number of people, basically no one in the family knows about his existence.
"Ming'er, there is nothing abnormal about the Nangong family and the Zhongli family, it seems that they shouldn't have done it. Linghu Batian said in a loud voice, since Linghu Yan disappeared, he and Linghu Guang have secretly stared at these two families who are most likely to secretly attack, but they have not found anything.
Ling Hu Ming bowed slightly. Experience told him that it could not be the hands of the forces of these two sides, but he was cautious and cautious, just in case. It seems that he is the only one. He secretly thought in his heart, and his slightly slanted eyebrows were relaxed and frowned.
Ling Huguang was good at observing words and feelings, he grasped this detail, and said indifferently: "Patriarch, is there any other object of suspicion?"
For Ling Huguang, Cheng DΓΉ, who Ling Huming trusts, is not inferior to anyone in the clan, and even surpasses it. It's just that this makes Fox Light serve as the commander of the shadow guard. But he is basically doing things for the old lady. As for what to do, the old lady didn't say. Ling Huming didn't ask, because he knew that in the eyes of outsiders, his aunt who was already in her last years was actually so strong in her heart. If he is the core of the Linghu family, then Lao Taijun is the soul of the Linghu family.
He bowed his head slightly, and said meaningfully: "There are many things in the court that I can't see through recently, including the crown prince. β
Ling Huguang was so capable, he immediately understood what he meant, and after he bowed his hand, he opened the dark wall and walked in. He never walks around the mansion, which is why so few people know about him.
Ling Fox Batian stared at the wall and closed it again, and waited for a moment before lowering his voice and saying, "After listening to your analysis last night, the old lady has already contacted your second aunt, and she is rushing to the fortress. β
Second aunt. Hu Ming was taken aback, and his expression changed slightly. In the entire Linghu family, there are only three people who know that the second aunt is in zΓ i, one is him, one is Linghu Batian, and one is Lao Taijun. The second aunt Linghu Baxue is the biggest secret of the Linghu family, everyone thinks that in the previous generation of the Linghu family, there are only three people, the old lady Linghu Bafeng, Linghu Ming's father Linghu Badi and Linghu Batian. But no one knew that Lao Taijun was born as twins at that time, and the younger one was named Linghu Baxue, and she was sent away from the moment she was born, and as for why she was sent away and where she was sent? Now only Lao Taijun knows in the Linghu family, and only she can contact her mysterious twin sister.
Linghu definitely didn't know much about his second aunt, but on the night he took over as the patriarch, the old lady went to find him, told him that he had such a second aunt, and told him: If she dies and the Linghu family is in great danger, go to her secret room to find a way to contact the second aunt. Ling Hu knew that the old lady had a secret room, but he had never entered it, he just asked curiously who the second aunt was? The old lady didn't answer, just smiled, but he could see that the smile was full of pride and pride, and at that moment, he understood that his second aunt was definitely not an ordinary person.
As his thoughts flowed, Ling Huming could no longer suppress his curiosity, and asked softly, "Second uncle, who is the second aunt?"
Nangong Batian looked at Ling Huming and smiled, at this moment, he found a little bit of his childhood appearance from his nephew, who had a straight face all day long, and a leisurely expression suddenly appeared, and said slowly: "Ming'er, the second uncle has never seen this sister, but by chance many years ago, I heard the eldest sister mention that she is a genius magician." What kind of person do you think you can be called a genius by your eldest sister?"
Ling Hu Ming was in a trance for a moment, but he remembered how old Taijun was when he was young, how arrogant he was, and even his second uncle, who was called the pride of heaven by outsiders, was just very ordinary and ordinary in her mouth.
But the more this is the case, the more worried Ling Huming's heart becomes, he knows very little about the affairs between the strong, so he has always underestimated the plight of his son. But now he knows that even when the second uncle was severely injured by the assassination of the hundred clans, the old lady didn't let the second aunt come forward, but today, for the sake of the child, the old lady actually showed the biggest and most mysterious hole card of the Linghu family. On the one hand, this illustrates the crisis faced by Jue'er, and it also proves the weight of Jie'er in the heart of the old lady.
For a while, his whole heart was heavy, and out of the consideration of the patriarch, he wanted to ask if it was worth it, but as a father, he felt that this hole card was still a little late. With mixed feelings, he whispered, "Should I do something?"
"No, you can't help with this anymore. Ling Fox Batian shook his head and said a little helplessly. In the Linghu family, all the mundane affairs are handled by the patriarch Linghu Ming. But it involves things between the strong. It is the old lady who is in charge. As a result, he and Ling Huguang know more than Ling Huming, the patriarch, which is determined by the realm, and has nothing to do with who is close to or who is alien.
Ling Hu Ming sighed gloomily, and became more and more worried about Ling Hu Jue, who was thousands of miles away: Child, you must come back alive.
The night is so beautiful, the clear blue is lightly washed, the moon hangs high, and the night breeze comes. Contains the coolness and coldness of early spring. Ling Hujue, who had already settled in the fortress, stood in the backyard of the temporary mansion, looking up at the night sky with his hands in his hands, his white robe fluttering in the wind, as if he was going to go with the wind, there was a dusty, elegant and lofty charm.
At this moment, he is only one person, and even the night charm is not in his body, and she finally has a chance to take a bath today, so it is rare to leave Linghu Jue.
The clear eyes are like two black jade in the crystal. Ling Hu Jue looked at it alone, and that sudden melancholy temperament was invisibly emanated. He's thinking about something, big, small, far, and tomorrow.
He had already made up his mind to go to the war tomorrow, but for some reason, his heart was always empty. As if it was such a night, he could only enjoy the last night, and there was a little sadness in his heart. He wasn't afraid, but he wasn't sure, he didn't even dare to think about what would have happened if things hadn't gone the way he had designed them to be.
The feeling is always instantaneous, but the will is always difficult to change, and the reason why he didn't go to see Xiusi and the others is because of this. It is good to live and die together, but since they are good brothers, who wants to give up their brother to die?
At this time, a figure quickly approached, it was Mans, she walked to Ling Hu's side, lowered her neck slightly and whispered: "Childe, Narcissus is here, and there is a cloaked man who comes with her, they want to see you." β
"Ugh. Linghu Jue was a little surprised, this surprise was not because of Narcissus's request to meet, but her way of meeting, according to the convention, even if Narcissus wants to see herself, she will come quietly, even if the Shuai Mansion is heavily guarded at the moment, but according to Narcissus's strength, there is no problem if you want to sneak in.
Already aware of the strangeness of Narcissus's appearance, Ling Hu Jue groaned slightly: "Lead them to the bedroom, quietly." β
Mans bowed her head slightly, turned to leave, less words and more deeds is her usual style, even if there is more love in her heart, she will not show it.
This is a spotless, bright and clean bedroom, very spacious, fine bead curtains divide the bedroom into two rooms, one is the place to meet guests, sit at the purple wood round table, Ling Hu Jue while waiting to guess the meaning of the narcissus.
Could it be that he is here for the fourth sister? Just as his mind flickered, the sound of light footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the door. The sword eyebrows that flew diagonally into the sideburns frowned slightly, making the fox tremble secretly: at this time, he could only hear the footsteps of two people, and one of the familiar footsteps was Mans, but according to what Mans just said, it should be two people.
Before he could figure it out, Mans, leading two cloaked men, appeared outside the door and stepped in. Ling Hu Jue noticed that one of them walked quietly and landed silently. This made him a little wary, because even if he was an ordinary king, as long as he didn't mean it, he couldn't do this. But obviously, the cloaked man was not deliberate, he walked very naturally, very casually, even when he stood regularly, it seemed to step on nothingness.
"You go down first. Ling Hu looked at the two cloaked men who stood in front of him without any expression, and said calmly.
Manse bowed, withdrew and closed the door, but did not go far before she stood in the doorway.
One of the cloaked people lifted the brim of her hat, revealing Narcissus's blown melon seed face, she looked at Ling Hu Jue, without any emotion, as if she was looking at a stranger, and said coldly: "Ling Hu Jue, this is __"
Before she could finish her words, she was stopped by another cloaked man waving his hand, he stepped forward and lifted the brim of his hat, revealing a face that seemed young, but there was a thick face between his eyebrows, and his facial features were very ordinary, the kind that would be difficult to notice even if he was thrown into a small crowd. He sat down uninvited, across the round table, and said in an extremely flat tone: "This king's surname is Liu, he is the owner of the anti-sect, and he came to see Linghu Gongzi on behalf of our organization today, and he has a few things I want to communicate with Linghu Gongzi. β
His concise and straightforward remarks give people an extremely sincere sense of trust.
"Yes, what advice does the Lord of the Willow Gate have, I will listen to it. Ling Hu Jue seemed to be nonchalant. But his eyes were fixed on this self-proclaimed anti-sect master without a moment's notice. He had only heard of the Fire Gate, the Main Gate, the Wind Gate, and the Exit Gate from Qin Hao. So now he knows one more about the eight gates of this mysterious organization. Reverse door.
The Liumen master imperceptibly moved closer to Linghu Jue, and said sincerely: "Linghu Gongzi, you may have misunderstood us, yes, we have had a bad behavior towards Linghu Gongzi, but that was before, and now, we are friends." β
"Friend?" made the corners of the fox's lips arc slightly mocking. Coldly authentic. He said so, but he was both appreciative and wary of the seemingly open-minded statement of this willow master. What he appreciates is that he can be outspoken, and he can win the trust of others in the shortest possible time, but the more he is guarded, the more he feels that this mysterious organization is terrible.
After the Lord of the Willow Gate smiled bitterly, his demeanor was instantly rigorous, and he said in a low voice: "Linghu Gongzi, you are a smart person. I must have already seen the strangeness of this battle, and it was ugly to say. Linghu Gongzi, you are now under attack from all sides, even the people who help you are ready to stab you in the back. β
"So what?" Ling Hu said unsurprisingly, he did not hide his vigilance, and only in this way could he take the initiative in this conversation.
The Lord of the Liu Sect is naturally no stranger to these negotiation skills, and said with a meaningful smile: "Linghu Gongzi, the Ming people don't say secret words, our organization wants to develop in the Mingsi Empire, rather than letting the forces of all races intervene in it, it is better to let Linghu Gongzi control the Pami Plain, in this way, the threat to us is much smaller." β
Ling Hu Jue's expression changed slightly, the other party was so frank and honest beyond his expectations, he believed that what this Liu Sect Master said, of course, was not for this side of the word, but combined with various factors, this mysterious organization had a connection with the Mingsi Empire, he knew. Why did he deal with him before, he also knew it. But as for how much sincerity the other party has, then he has no way of knowing.
So, his eyes were habitually cold, and he suddenly changed the topic and said, "Linghu Yan was taken away by you?"
The Lord of the Willow Gate was stunned for a moment, not because Linghu Jue knew about this matter, but because Linghu Jue would choose this time to tell this matter. What is the anti-door, it is specially instigated, trapped, negotiated, and stumbled. As the owner of the anti-sect, he naturally has his own way and understanding of communication methods such as dialogue and communication, so Ling Hu Jue chose to ask this sentence at this time, which immediately made him look up to the young man in front of him. Slowly bowed his head, and said sincerely: "Those two women are on the way to the fortress, Ling Hu Gongzi, you should be able to understand why we did this? Who is Liu Xu'er, and what is her real intention? You can rest assured, as long as Linghu Gongzi you are alive and still control this Pami Plain, then you don't need to worry about the safety of the Linghu family, this is our first sincerity to cooperate with Linghu Gongzi. β
"Do you want to do something to the Flowing Shadow Sect disciples within the Linghu family?" asked Linghu Jue knowingly. The moment the Lord of the Willow Gate nodded, he guessed the intentions of this mysterious organization.
The Lord of the Liu Sect did not deny it, nodded and said: "Yes, we are afraid that Miss Linghu will not know the inside story and be injured by mistake, so we have to make this decision." β
Of course, Linghu would never believe his words, the battle between these two forces must involve deeper interests, but he has not yet come into contact with it. After a moment's hesitation, Ling Hu Jue said in a deep voice: "Speaking of which, it doesn't seem to be anything substantial? Let's be honest, in the current situation, what can you help me, and what price will I pay?"
The lord of Liumen was stunned for a moment, and then he understood something and said with a deep smile: "Linghu Gongzi is really a generation of masters, fast and fast, that king is not hidden, we can provide three kings for Gongzi, more than a dozen knight-level powerhouses, let Gongzi drive, until the situation is stable." As for Childe, he just needs to give us some help when the Liulai Empire sends troops. β
Linghu Jue somewhat understood, it seemed that this mysterious organization that had mastered the power of the court had already predicted all kinds of pressure from inside and outside the emperor, and took precautions and chose to be their ally.
The mood relaxed slightly, Ling Hu Jue stood up, and after taking a few steps forward, Qi Er turned around, stared at the Willow Sect Master with such a sharp gaze, and said word by word: "How can I trust you?"
The Lord of the Willow Gate also got up, at this moment he had clearly realized the bold courage of Ling Hu Jue, he had come into contact with more people, but none of them were like the young man in front of him, who could make the most correct judgment without thinking, and immediately put it into action, never dragging his feet.
No wonder he's got to where he is today. Secretly admiring, the Lord of the Willow Gate spoke: "In order to show our sincerity, from now on." Speaking of this, he paused, turned his face sideways, and stared at Narcissus who had always remained unchanged: "She is your person, a slave and a servant, Childe, you have the final say, you want to live or die, and Childe is also a word, she is no longer our person, but if you have any requirements for us, you can convey it to her." β
After speaking, he was very solemn and said very solemnly: "Qin Shuixian, make an oath to Linghu Gongzi." β
"Wait. Linghu Jue waved his hand to stop him while being taken aback, and a strange and scorching light flashed in his eyes. The oath of the demons, that was not a joke, he had to admire the means and courage of the head of this mysterious organization.
The Lord of the Willow Sect naturally learned about the subtle experience of Ling Hu Jue and Narcissus from other channels, smiled meaningfully, and no longer forced, but arched his hand very chic and said: "Ling Hu Gongzi, the king of Renben has been handed over to you, as for what you want to do is your business." This king has taken his leave first, and we will always keep an eye on you. After speaking, he turned around, came calmly, and went chicly, and disappeared into the dark night after a few steps after going out. (To be continued)
