Chapter 118: Mysterious Young Man
There were a lot of tiny teeth in that mouth,
The man's nose was thick and round, and the tip of the nose was a little red, and it looked like a radish that had not developed well.
The man's eyes were deep.
The man was a short old man, with no breath on his body, but he gave people an incomparably powerful feeling.
Devouring thousands of these ghost fires, the old man did not stay, his arms shook, like a big bird silently passing through the dense forest, and instantly turned into a small black dot in the distance.
When it reappeared, it had already reached a mountain cliff hundreds of miles west of Chang'an City.
On the edge of the cliff sat a young man.
The young man held a bamboo pole with a thin line tied to the end of the pole, and the thread hung down into the clouds between the cliffs, and it looked as if he was fishing.
Fishing in a sea of clouds?
"Admire, admire, I didn't expect you to make the underworld work for you."
The short old man looked at the young man and said, "To be able to kill the Cave True Realm Elder of the Northern Netherworld Sect from such a distance, this Demon Domain Ghost Boy is of a good standard. ”
The young man didn't look back, staring at the flowing clouds below the cliff, his expression extremely focused.
The clouds were blurring, and there were faint black spots passing through them.
The birds that could not be seen stared at the food tied to the bamboo pole line, making a quacking sound, looking extremely greedy.
Looking at the chaos in the clouds, the young man shook his head before he began to answer the old man's question.
"The Demon Domain ranks third, and the level of the Ghost King's disciples is certainly good--- although he only dares to use the ghost shadow to come--- otherwise how could I ask you to make a move."
The old man let out an ugly laugh and said, "When will you be able to fish out the ghost king?" I haven't seen him for a long time, and the world hasn't seen him for a long time, so I think it's going to be very lively. ”
The young man said: "They are all poor people who were killed by my Sword Sect, you don't dare to show up, how dare he appear?" ”
The old man was silent for a moment and said, "Are you sure the Sword Sect doesn't know that I'm coming out?" ”
"Who in the world knows the Sword Sect best?"
The young man stuck a bamboo pole in the stone crevice on the shore, turned to look at the old man, gave a thumbs up to his face, and said with a smile: "It's me... I ......"
His face was a little cold, but because of this smile suddenly became lovely, with a little loose taste, and rarely kind.
Looking at this face, the old man didn't know what to think, and sighed and said: "I have been hiding in the ground for hundreds of years, and the world has changed too much, and people like you can only hide and hide, which is really sad." ”
The young man raised his eyebrows and said, "That's a lot to say." ”
The old man suddenly said: "I want to eat a few people, it's really a little greedy, those ghost fires have no taste, even if there is no little girl, it's good to eat a few men." ”
"Okay."
The young man was a little helpless, put away the bamboo pole, and led the old man to the cliff.
The old man hurried to follow.
The young man glanced at him and said, "How do you feel like I have a dog now?" ”
"Wangwang."
The old man flattered and said, "As long as you can destroy the Sword Sect and eliminate my future troubles, why don't I make you a dog for another three hundred years." ”
The young man said: "I am also a member of the Sword Sect, and I want to kill you if you don't know how to face me." ”
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "It's a joke." ”
The young man said lightly: "Before you do this, you have to protect me first, don't let me be killed by that guy." ”
"I can't beat them right now."
"So, we're going to hurry."
The young man sighed and reached out to touch the old man's head.
The sea of clouds under the cliff gradually calmed down, and the birds were nowhere to be seen.
...
Crackling!
Su Qing looked at the insect under his feet that had been trampled to pieces, his eyes were indifferent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The breeze blew, Dao Yan rushed to the battlefield, he saw this scene completely just now, his face was also a little surprised, after a while, he shook his head and sincerely admired: "What a strong natal soul, and with such pure sword intent, what a Su Qingming." ”
The words were filled with sincere admiration and amazement.
A true person who is truly dedicated to the Tao of morality knows how to advance and retreat when encountering things, and knows the gains and losses, but the admiration or disgust from the heart will not be hidden.
This is the meaning of the real word between real man and villain.
Shan Yuan also nodded and agreed: "The little junior brother is really a person who can inherit the mantle of the master. ”
With their vision, they can naturally see that although the realms of the two are very different, like a chasm, but when it comes to the battle between the natal gods and souls, the old guy who has stepped into the upper three realms is not even a star and a half worse than Su Qingming.
That's why the collision just now is so devastating, and it is really as bright as an ant meeting a bright moon.
Su Qingming's face was slightly pale, although the collision just now was victorious, it still had a great impact on him at the moment.
Shanyuan patted Li Shu's shoulder and said, "Take him back to the moral outlook to rest, be careful." ”
Li Shu seemed to have just recovered from the shock of the finger just now, and nodded subconsciously.
Fusu Qingming was reluctant, she had a stinky face all day long, just like who owed him a lot of silver, but since she knew Shanyuan's identity, she didn't dare to be presumptuous.
Seeing Su Qingming and Li Shu leave the end of sight, Shanyuan shook his head slightly.
Daoyan said: "Don't worry, this matter will naturally come to light." ”
Shanyuan asked, "What if you find something that can't be checked?" ”
Daoyan was stunned for a moment and said, "That depends on the meaning of His Majesty in the palace." ”
Shanyuan said lightly: "Then you have to investigate, find out, and find out to the end." ”
The tone was flat, but it revealed an unquestionable feeling, and Dao Yan smiled: "It seems that you have a very good relationship with Su Qingming." ”
Shan Yuan shook his head and said: "Whatever you do, you have to bear the price, the cycle of heavenly principles is the most appropriate truth in the world, not to mention that I am such a friend, and I am also the hope of the Heavenly Sword Peak of the Sword Sect, if it is not going well here..."
Shanyuan sighed and said, "Then I'll be sorry for the Lord." ”
"The hope of the Sword Sect's Heavenly Sword Peak..."
Dao Yan carefully considered the meaning of these five words, and muttered, "Is this situation already serious within the Sword Sect now?" ”
Shanyuan shook his head, "It's much worse than that. ”
...
Su Qingming was assassinated in Chang'an City, and the assassin was clearly suspected of deliberately framing the Prime Minister's Mansion, which immediately caused an uproar.
Although Su Qingming did not cause any waves on the surface when he entered Chang'an City, and even made an errand to watch the gate in his moral sense, in fact, in fact, countless forces in Chang'an City had already made this matter clear, and now the assassination completely broke the peace on the surface.
Unexpectedly, it was not the Sword Sect or the Moral Outlook that was the first to attack, but the Xiangfu.
Today's prime minister was so angry that almost the entire court was shaking, and in less than half a day, the identity of the assassin was clearly investigated.
Zhou Yanqiao, the elder of the Northern Hell Sect in the Northern Cold Continent, is also an old monster who has been famous for a long time, and has never shot since he was seriously injured by an unknown ranger decades ago.
Zhou Yanqiao's series of life trajectories have been investigated clearly, but it is very interesting, all the news stopped on Zhou Yanqiao himself, and did not go deeper to investigate.
Of course, there is the other party's response that is extremely decisive and does not leave any clues, but there is obviously also a reluctance to investigate.
Why did Zhou Yanqiao do it to Su Qingming? Entrusted by whom? Who is behind the scenes?
Zhang Xiang was in the lobby of the mansion, saw the cowering expressions of the former students, and said coldly: "Others dare not check, but I dare, as long as Your Majesty does not make a sound, no matter who it is, it is useless for you to worry about your career, it doesn't matter, then I will check it myself, the reason why I called you here is just to ask you, Pei asked, you come and see, how to check." ”
A man with a steady face and wearing a Tang official uniform stood up, hesitated slightly in his heart, and said softly after a while: "Although there is no clue from Zhou Yanqiao, Su Qingming was imprisoned by Yu Linwei the night before the crime, as far as I know, it was not the teacher's intention, but the matter of Yu Linwei's commander Ge Han taking charge of the matter without authorization... And the time when Su Qingming entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and left the Mansion was too ingenious, and the other party knew it so well, maybe he could check it from this aspect. ”
The words are vague, but the meaning is clear.
How to check? Of course, it was Zha Yu Lin Wei who led Gehan.
The night before yesterday, he inexplicably put Su Qingming in prison to force him to confess, in the eyes of outsiders, he may only think that Gehan is too utilitarian and wants to use this matter to improve his prestige, but judging from these old foxes present, this is a very strange thing.
Morality has already sent someone to decide this matter, you are just a Yulin Wei commander, what is there to jump up and down?
Everyone present has been immersed in officialdom for decades, and naturally they all thought of these things, but it is difficult to say, because everyone knows that Gehan was a student who was valued by the teacher in his early years.
And this time, the teacher gathered most of the students, but they didn't call Na Gehan, and they knew what it was for a little bit of brains.
When Zhang Xiang heard this, he glanced at everyone, nodded slightly, and said: "I am very pleased, although you have now become the most annoying appearance in the officialdom when you were young, but at least your brain has not rotted away, so it's good, an official is not terrible to be greedy, but you must have a brain, you must know how to do things for the people, otherwise you will really be a waste, and you will be a waste for the rest of your life." ”
The dozen or so officials present can be said to be the core figures among the six departments and nine secretaries of the Tang Dynasty, and when they heard these words, none of them dared to be dissatisfied in the slightest, and they were all full of respect.
Zhang Xiang sighed softly, as if he felt that it was an eyesore, and said, "Get out, call me that bastard thing from Gehan." ”
One by one, everyone dispersed towards the door.
Half an hour later, Yu Linwei led Ge Han into the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He looked at the old man sitting in the lobby, his face was slightly pale, and cold sweat flowed all over his body unconsciously.
The old man drank a cup of tea, didn't even look at him, and said suspiciously: "In order to be an official all these years, you can't even take care of cultivation, you can see for yourself, can such a look be worthy of the cultivation of the martial arts five heavens when you were young?" ”
