"This Qingfeng Dao Master, are you saying that the Tang Sect should still have other backhands to wipe us out?"

Even though there are congenital masters like Old Man Zhang who have a lot to do with Longhu Mountain, when they think of the methods of the Tang Sect, the Sanshan Taoist priests and other wild Taoist priests can't help but sweat on their vests. The prestige of Tangjiabao's hundreds of years of operation has penetrated into the bone marrow of every Jianghu person, just look at the craftsman who was restrained, just a peripheral disciple who is responsible for doing chores and dirty work, if it weren't for Old Man Zhang and Xiao Xia, everyone here would have been blown up to pieces, and I don't know what kind of terrifying means those real core disciples would be.

"Ahem, I don't know, I just think it's a little weird. Xiao Xia is not sure, he doesn't know much about the Tang family, but he only heard a few words from the two brothers Tang Zhengcheng and Tang Xiaoxiao, combined with some rumors on the rivers and lakes, it can be imagined that Tang Jiabao must have acted before acting, extremely thorough, and once he made a move, he would not show mercy. As for the two brothers, they are all outliers among the children of the Tang family, and their style of acting is not enough for reference.

If Tang Jiabao had really zoned this Divine Machine Hall as his own territory, he would indeed not have left such an negligent loophole, and he would not even react to the arrest of the disciple who stayed here and was responsible for exterminating the mouth. Is there something else? Xiao Xia suddenly remembered the scene when Chief Craftsman Wei was notified that a distinguished guest had visited. What kind of distinguished guest needs a master craftsman who is only in charge of the organization and who is handling confidential affairs must also go to meet with him? Could it be that the group of people from the Righteous Path Alliance have come to make some big moves?

Together, all kinds of related doubts that had been buried before came one after another. Looking at it now, Nangong Tong should have known the situation in this Divine Machine Hall for a long time. It's absolutely impossible to sneak in and steal the ledger of what drawings you have, and it's okay to fool some craftsmen in the Divine Machine Hall with your ability to do half a bucket of water. Provoke the children of the Tang Sect, who are already good at lurking and plotting, but they are purely looking for death. Could it be that Nangong Tong is borrowing a knife to kill someone? It seems that it is not very similar, regardless of whether the motive is or not, even if he borrows a knife, Nangong Tong does not have the courage to kill himself.

So what does it really mean for him to bring himself here?

A thousand threads hit together, and Xiao Xia only felt chaotic for a while, frowning and thinking hard. Although he hadn't figured it out yet, a deep uneasiness had already arisen in his heart.

At this time, the old man Zhang on the side was shaking his head and sighing: "The Tang family has been dominant in Shuzhou for hundreds of years, and it can be said that it is the world's first-class local wealthy family, although it has always been ruthless and vicious. But he is not the kind of person who is ambitious and does not know the height of the sky, but he just guards his own territory in Shuyun Erzhou, never stretches his hand to other places without authorization, and there is still quite harmony between the imperial court and the major family sects.

Xiningzi said loudly on the side: "What Senior Zhang said is extremely true! These local wealthy families have never acted in a righteous and righteous manner, and they are right and wrong. It's nothing more than the word profit in my eyes."

Interrupted by this noise, Xiao Xia couldn't help frowning, feeling a little irritable in her heart. Since Old Man Zhang revealed his identity, this Xiningzi has always been very excited, maybe in the eyes of a person like him who is good at drilling camps and likes to drill camps, being able to meet Zhang Yuhong's real brother is simply a big pie falling from the sky, don't go all out to make friends. Leave a good impression on the other party, that is, the sin deserves death.

"It should be that there is something changing in front, and they don't have time to take care of this place for the time being, so it's a good time, let's take this opportunity to leave first." Xiao Xia said in a deep voice, and walked out first. The uneasiness that arose was a mixture of strange instincts that had been there before. It actually made his heart jump a little frightened, as if he had to get out of here quickly.

He had just taken a step. Xiningzi stretched out his hand and grabbed him: "Hey, Qingfeng Daoist wait, let's ask Senior Zhang to guide us first, we need to know that the Dao realm of the old man is so high."

Xiao Xia was very impatient in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to scold this guy who didn't know what to do, but he opened his mouth, but without the slightest sound, a wonderful tingling sensation spread quickly from Xiningzi's arm to his whole body, and his body fell to the ground as soon as he became weak.

"Huh, Qingfeng Daoyou, what's wrong with you?, what's uncomfortable?" Xiningzi pulled him down slowly with the afterburner in his hand, leaned in front of him and asked loudly, that young and reckless face was full of nervous sweat, it should be said that he had been very nervous and excited, and the light that came out of his eyes at this time was even brighter.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with Qingfeng Daoyou?" Some of the wild Taoist priests around him walked over to ask with nervous expressions, and some took out talismans to look left and right as if facing a great enemy. This is deep in the enemy's formation, maybe there will be an extremely vicious Tangmen secret weapon shot out somewhere, which makes people have to be extremely nervous.

Old man Zhang was also stunned, his eyes closed slightly, and then opened again, his face full of doubts. Obviously, he used the method of confinement and qi to check the surrounding situation, but there was nothing unusual.

Of course, he didn't show any abnormalities, because the abnormalities were not anywhere else, just in Xiningzi's hand, which was a thin needle thinner than a cow's hair, but shorter than an eyelash, like a hair that had grown in the wrong place, between Xiningzi's fingers, even if he really looked at it, he couldn't necessarily see it.

Everyone around him was nervous, and Xiningzi was also nervous, but the reason for his nervousness was completely different from others. The others were still looking around for the Tangmen secret weapon that flew from nowhere, but he left Xiao Xia and jumped up, stretched out his hand and pulled at Old Man Zhang: "Senior Zhang, please take a look at Qingfeng Daoyou"

Xiningzi's outstretched hand was shaking, a master of Dao cultivation to the innate realm, the spell could be established in the middle of his thoughts, faster than any martial arts master, but at this point, his hand must also be grasped like this.

And if what he expected, this catch will not fail.

Sure enough, Old Man Zhang didn't pay the slightest attention and vigilance, but took a step forward and buried his head to look at Xiao Xia on the ground. Xiningzi's hand pulled his wrist without hindrance, and the cow hair needle in his hand also pierced into it. Same as Natsu. Old man Zhang also collapsed as soon as his body weakened in an instant.

The color of ecstasy passed in Xiningzi's eyes, but at the same time, he also jumped up with a scream, took out a knife from his sleeve, and cut off one of his fingers with a knife as if he was still breaking his wrist after being poisoned, and shouted loudly in the flash of blood: "It's not good, it's poisonous! Everyone gather here to protect Senior Zhang! I have a spirit rune here to detoxify!"

The wild Taoist priests around him, who were already frightened birds, hurriedly gathered towards Xiningzi, and at this time, Xiningzi already had a talisman in his hand, and he pinched it with the hand that had just cut off his fingers and threw it into the air. The talisman turned into a clear light, enveloping the blood on his hand and rising. The clear light and blood blended together and exploded in midair, and the scattered light seemed to illuminate people through, enveloping everyone below.

The light dissipated, and there was a popping sound below, and the wild Taoist priests who had just gathered around fell down like wheat under a sickle.

There were only three people still standing, Xiningzi, and Feilong Daoren. Sanshan Dao people. The three of them looked at each other, and their faces were extremely ugly.

###

The hall fell into a deathly silence again.

It seems that there is too much stimulation today, too great, and there is no expression on the faces of the people of the Divine Machine Hall, as if they are all numb, just look at each other with inquiring eyes.

After the launch of the Tiangong Project. The various institutional changes that followed by the Shenji Hall were all very large, and many of the Jingzhou rudders were seconded from other places, and they were not all very familiar with each other, but at least they all knew each other. And since I can stand here. is that they all have a certain status and qualifications in the Shenji Hall. Zeng Jiuwen said that there must be people from the Tang Sect here, and many people still felt incredible.

The faces of the people of the Righteous Dao Alliance behind Nangong and his body were all solemn and excited, and they finally understood the real purpose of coming here today, and who they really wanted to deal with. That is the most dangerous enemy in the rivers and lakes, the most reluctant to provoke, but at the same time, it is also the enemy who can make people famous the fastest. Everyone standing here has the confidence that a disciple of the great sect of the family should have, especially when what frustrated them before was just a misunderstanding that was not dangerous, and those dangerous firearms and trap beasts turned out to be the chips in their hands, and the self-confidence they regained needed a victory to verify themselves.

Zeng Jiuwen Hall Master's strange behavior of wrapping himself tightly in a tight manner, now everyone understands what it means. No one needs to be reminded, many people have begun to take out the medicine bottle they carry with them, pour out the pill and put it in their mouth and nose, although the secret weapons and poisons of the Tang family are powerful, but the elixirs that other famous families can give their children to defend themselves are not ornaments.

Nangong Tong didn't take any measures, but this is not that he is not afraid, it can only show that he has been well prepared before, and at this time he can look so neat, calm, and have enough demeanor and momentum. He waited for everyone behind him to be basically ready, and then he said slowly: "Friend of the Tang family, things have come to such a scene, so how about you show up and stand up and talk about it?"

After a short silence, a voice finally sounded from among the people in the Divine Machine Hall: "Nangong Gongzi, do the two adults in your family know about doing these things?"

The words rang out at the same time as the sound of a human body falling to the ground. At the same time as this person spoke, all the people around him fainted, and he was left standing alone, indifferently facing the people of the Righteous Path Alliance not far away, as well as the trap beasts carrying firearms around him.

"How could it be you?" Zeng Jiuwen's voice of disbelief came from behind the mask.

"Hall Master, didn't you hide me so hard, why didn't you think it was me?" the man said lightly. With a dignified and honest face, it was actually Deacon Zhang, the foreign affairs deacon of the Jingzhou branch.

Zeng Jiuwen sighed and said, "I'm not hiding it from you, I'm hiding it from everyone." I only know that the Heavenly Crafts Plan is such an important and critical thing, Tang Jiabao must have sent shadows scattered everywhere to carry out the rudder, and the two people sent to deal with the wild Taoist priests for us are just peripheral disciples who hide people's eyes. Since I can't guess who it is, then I will simply treat it as a spy of the Tang family and act well. ”

Deacon Zhang nodded: "I see, even if my Tang Sect disciples go on a mission, it is rare for them to have such painstaking play." Master Zeng has really worked hard these days. ”

"But how could it be you?" Zeng Jiuwen's voice was still thick with disbelief. "Even if you are not the elder of the hall brought from Qiaojin Sect by Lao Wei, you still have more than ten years of seniority in the Divine Machine Hall. It's just that the two of us have been working together for ** years, and I thought it would be those who have just been transferred."

"That's when I started working undercover in the Hall of Divine Machines more than a decade ago. "Deacon Zhang, no. It should be Deacon Zhang, whose surname is Tang, who answered.

Zeng Jiuwen was silent for a long time, and then he sighed full of fear and happiness: "I actually started to arrange the Tang family more than ten years ago, and I really have a thoughtful mind and a long-term vision. Thankfully, I was careful. ”

Deacon Tang said lightly: "There are not many people like me. The old lady and the old lady's vision is indeed good enough, from more than ten years ago, when the Shenji Hall was just starting, it can be seen that the Shenji Hall will definitely have the status it has today, and it will definitely be the hub in a turmoil, which is why I have just laid a few shadows. It's you, Master Zeng. No one would have expected you to do such a thing today, this kind of vision, courage is really amazing. You said in front of me before that why don't you bring up courage and be brave again, is that what you mean?"

"Hahahaha, this Tang family brother was silent when he was hidden, but after this appearance, he kept talking. Nangong laughed in unison. "I don't know what this Tang brother is called? Which room is the disciple of the Tang family fort? My Nangong family has also had friendships with several family heads of the Tang Sect, maybe everyone is still an acquaintance. ”

"Tang Jianyu. The dignified-looking deacon glanced at Nangong Tong and withdrew his gaze. It doesn't seem to be worth taking a second look, and the voice is just as calm and plain, and I don't care. "You don't have to say something to remind others that you're the one leading the way. I want to talk to Hall Master Zeng because I won't have a chance to talk about it after the meeting. If you have to interject, I still say the same thing just now, you are doing these things in Jingzhou. Do the adults in your family know?"

Nangong Tong's expression instantly became extremely strange. No matter what kind of occasion or what kind of changes there were before, his demeanor and temperament that had been soaked into the bone marrow could still be maintained, but he couldn't react for a while after being hit hard by this sentence. He took two deep breaths. I cleared my breath a little, and before he could speak. The deacon named Tang Jianyu said again: "I don't know if I think about it." Whether it is Nangong Wudaunt or Nangong Wuji, or the head of the family, Nangong Wuji, they will not do such a frivolous and reckless thing. Do you really know what you're doing? You may think that this master of Zeng Jiuwen Hall is a smart man who knows how to take advantage of the situation and avoid disadvantages, and has found the right time to take refuge in you, but do you know that you are actually the biggest chess piece in his hand? It is not so much that he came to take refuge in you, but that he came to pull you into the water, and to cross the river through you, a guy who doesn't know how deep the water is or how deep the situation under the water is. In the words that the hall master Zeng said before, do you really understand why the imperial court ordered the firearms to be taken back to the official office? Why did this imperial decree not be issued for a long time? Do you know why I, the Tang Sect, want to form an alliance with this Shenji Hall? Do you know what Nangong Wuji and Nangong Wuji are thinking?"

"As for the young heroes behind Nangong Gongzi, I think you don't really understand the depth of this, and you are really disappointed by the painstaking efforts of your elders to let you come out to practice. Maybe some of you actually understand, but it doesn't make a difference when things get to this point, and you can only be considered unlucky. ”

Nangong Tong's face hadn't completely eased up, but the people behind him couldn't bear it. The brocade-clothed boy who had spoken before laughed loudly: "I have heard for a long time that the people in the Tang Sect are gloomy and vicious, but I didn't expect it to be so arrogant. Didn't Your Excellency see the current situation clearly? Could it be that the secret weapon of the Tang Sect is really so powerful that it can deal with many people on our side, as well as these trap beasts around us?"

"Exactly. I don't know where this Tangmen brother got so much confidence. ”

"But we won't bully more or less, Brother Tang might as well draw the line, and we'll follow. ”

"Brother Hong's words are wrong. We are not fighting for our own grievances, and we don't need to talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes. In my opinion, I can let that Zeng Jiuwen Hall Master solve it by himself."

In the midst of the noisy quarrels, at the end of this group, Mingyue turned around and said lightly to Luo Yuanhuan not far behind him: "Fatty, if you want to survive, it's best to run away now." Or you can wait and huddle in a corner and pretend to be dead. ”

Luo Yuanquan was completely stunned when he listened. In these days, Mingyue, the goddess in his heart, almost never took the initiative to talk to him, and now he actually cares about his safety, looking at the beautiful and unparalleled face, he only feels that the greatest happiness in the world is nothing more than this, a pair of eyes immediately overflowed with tears of excitement, and he couldn't help crying out and said in a muffled voice: "Mingyue Fairy, don't worry, even if I am broken, I will definitely protect the fairy!"

Mingyue turned a blind eye to this blazing and brave guard, and turned her head away after saying only that.

At the same time, at the front of the team, Li Shishi, who had been silent, also stepped forward and whispered in Nangong Tong's ear: "Brother Nangong, there is a way that the son of a daughter can't sit down, why don't you retreat for the time being, and leave it to us and the hall master of Zeng." ”

"Why should it be. Nangong Tong's face had already appeared a bit of hideousness that had never been seen before. "I'm just about to see how the world-famous Tang Sect disciples are doing, and they can turn their hands into clouds and rain in such a situation. ”

Tang Jianyu ignored the voices of those young heroes, looked at Zeng Jiuwen again, and said slowly: "The only thing I can't figure out now is that you are so sure that the Nangong family will definitely be able to win, and it will definitely give you the most benefits? You should know that the bargaining chip of the Tiangong Project will be much heavier in the hands of my Tang family, your ability is good, and you will definitely be reused, and a rudder hall master is by no means the head." And the imperial court got it, and when it was finally implemented, the Nangong family would have to share the benefits with other forces, play games with each other, and settle cronies, you will never have any chance to stand out without a network foundation, you don't think that these sons who don't understand really have the power to give you the position of the head of the hall, right?"

"In any case, it's better than doing things in the hands of your Tang Jiabao and not even living or dying. One of the two chief managers in the main hall who opposed the alliance with the Tang Sect suffered a stroke, the other had his throat cut by an inexplicable explosion, and a few who intended to quietly move closer to the Zhengdao Alliance and the Nangong family were also," Zeng Jiuwen said slowly in a hoarse voice. The eyes behind the crystal lenses were bloodshot, but they shone with a different light than before. "I've learned since 18 years ago that no matter what the circumstances, only those who hold their destiny in their hands will have a chance to turn around. ”

"I see, this is our negligence, and smart people who think that they can weigh the stakes clearly will not act rashly" Tang Jianyu nodded and sighed lightly. "Sure enough, the most difficult thing in the world to grasp is the human heart. I remembered that my old lady had said something after hearing about the Heavenly Crafts Plan of the Divine Machine Hall. He said that no matter how exquisite these organs and instruments are, they are still stupid dead things compared to people's hearts, and the world's next qiē variables, from the big ones to the small ones, seem to be complicated and difficult to understand, but in fact, they all revolve around the hearts of the people. Only the human heart is the real work of the world. ”

"I couldn't take your feelings into account, it's really my negligence, and it's a pity that I can't lead the hall master into my Tang family to work together. Over the years, I have been taken care of, and I was slightly ill in the middle of last year, and my sister-in-law also boiled porridge for me to drink, and I am really grateful. Although my Tang family acted decisively, it never harmed my family, wife and children, you can rest assured."

Tang Jianyu's voice was plain and soft, and the more he said it, the stronger the taste of emotion became, but the content of these words became more and more uneasy for Zeng Jiuwen. He suddenly broke off and shouted angrily: "Don't act rashly! All the firearms of these beasts are aimed at you! I can break you to pieces with a single thought!"

Under this shout, Tang Jianyu's thick face did not change, but Nangong beside Zeng Jiuwen was surprised: "What's the matter? What did he say to you?"

"Hall Master, although you have been protecting yourself since these two or three months ago, and you have made great arrangements, since my Tang family has started arranging it more than ten years ago, how can your little effort work?" Tang Jianyu sighed deeply, arched his hand, and said in a clear and kind voice that only Zeng Jiuwen could hear. "Hall Master, go all the way. ”
