Section 702: Temple of Demons
Hundreds of civil and military officials can stand in this Qiankun Palace, they are not fools, and anyone can see it now. Although I don't know what the reason is, the prince of Wuye wants to protect this trading house in the Western Regions, and the king of Linxi wants to fall this trading house.
The contradictions between the two sides have reached the point where they are on the verge of breaking out.
In fact, the most unlucky person among them is Qin Guyue, who was obviously shot while lying down. Just now, everyone finished discussing whether to increase troops to Haishan Pass, and then they actually discussed the Jisai Trading Company, and Qin Guyue shouted bad luck in his heart.
Why did you put your own business on the first day of going to court!
"The minister is just talking, how to deal with it, and ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment. King Linxi changed his words, squinted his eyes and looked at His Majesty Wulie and Prince Wuye on the heavenly gate and said.
"Wuye, what do you think!" His Majesty Wu Lie turned his head to Prince Wuye again, and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, Erchen thinks that this matter should be investigated first!" Prince Wuye made a gesture and said: "After all, the Western Regions Trading House is not a common person of my Tianzhou, if it is hastily detained, it will inevitably affect the status and image of the Holy Dynasty in the eyes of the barbarians in the Quartet. ”
His Majesty Wu Lie nodded slightly, and at this time, King Linxi also spoke: "The minister also thinks that it is enough to let Lord Deqing investigate this matter." ”
Qin Guyue heard King Linxi's words, and scolded in her heart: "Ask this Deqing to investigate, is there a difference between checking and not checking?"
"Yes. Prince Wuye actually agreed to the candidate of King Linxi, and then added: "But the so-called 'both listening is clear and partial, and believing is dark', it is still necessary to assign a few deputies to Lord Deqing." With that, he named two people.
One is Fan Mingzhi, and the other is of course Qin Guyue.
This is a "loyal minister" who has just been praised by His Majesty Wu Lie as a "loyal minister" who is outspoken and daring, and naturally everyone has no objections, so this court meeting ended in such an atmosphere.
By the time Qin Guyue came out of the Qiankun Palace, the clothes behind him were completely soaked, as if he had just fought a fierce battle, sweating like rain.
He understood that above the court, it was really not inferior to the struggle on the battlefield, and if he was a little careless, he really didn't know what was going on with the Dao.
Fortunately, the Empress Wuye Prince arranged this investigation to Qin Guyue and others, and he still had room for mediation, at least not to let Ji Sai and his party be thrown into prison for espionage.
"Could it be that the King of Linxi knows that this Jisai Chamber of Commerce is mine?" Qin Guyue muttered in her heart as she walked down the steps towards the outside of the Qiankun Palace.
Today is Qin Guyue's first day in the court, do you directly give a dismount?
However, just as Qin Guyue was about to leave the Qiankun Palace, he saw a person already waiting for him at the gate of the palace.
It's none other than Qin Zhantian!
What is he waiting for me to do? Qin Guyue's current identity is a person from the side of the Neverless Prince, and he no longer belongs to the same camp as Qin Zhantian, so what is he going to do? Could it be that he has also seen through my identity!
Without waiting for Qin Guyue to salute Qin Zhantian, the tall man with the unicorn ornament on his body had already walked in front of Qin Guyue, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Huaisha, today is your first time in the court, don't you get used to it." ”
Qin Guyue looked at Qin Zhantian, he knew that his father's temperament was not like playing intrigue like King Linxi, maybe he was just purely interested in his "junior", so he would mention a few words and encourage him.
Thinking of this, he let go a lot, and said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it from the soldiers, there are many more open guns and hidden arrows in the court than outside, and I almost can't parry it." ”
Qin Zhantian naturally knew that Qin Guyue was talking about "Jisai Commercial Company", and he didn't beat around the bush with Qin Guyue, and said with a hearty smile: "Huaisha, you still need to sharpen it again, but it's also a good thing for someone to criticize it, you have to know Lu Dao......" Qin Zhantian pointed at a team of fourth-grade and fifth-grade officials who slowly walked out behind Qin Guyue and said: "They want to be criticized, and no one may look down on them!"
With a wry smile, Qin Guyue could only smile bitterly.
Fortunately, King Linxi can afford to look at me, come to embarrass me, that's my honor!
However, a bitter smile is a bitter smile, and the rules are the rules, Qin Guyue still arched her hand at Qin Zhantian and said, "Thank you Bing Gehou for mentioning it." ”
"Might as well be it. Qin Zhantian smiled, patted Qin Guyue on the shoulder again and said, "Huaisha, if you are free, you can come to my mansion and sit down." ”
"He will definitely visit one day. Qin Guyue arched her hand and replied.
"Hmm. Qin Zhantian took his hand back, but his gaze was still looking at Qin Guyue's body, it didn't matter, Qin Guyue suddenly felt a gaze as if he wanted to sense the state in his body.
He became suspicious of Qin Guyue's identity!
It was too late, it was fast, and Qin Guyue's nightmare power in the sea of consciousness appeared directly, directly swallowing the amount of perception in that gaze.
"Huh......" Qin Zhantian was surprised, he was already a powerhouse of the Xingjie rank, compared to Shangguan Tianqi and Mo Jun, this "Gu Huaisha" in front of him was obviously very different from his realm, but he couldn't sense the other party's situation, which couldn't help but make him feel very strange.
But he didn't want to say it clearly, although everyone is a monk, but after all, there is another layer of identity, that is, the same dynasty is an official, so directly check the details of the other party, and it will inevitably be criticized if it is rumored.
"Huaisha, it's still early to disperse, why don't you go out of the palace with me and take a walk?" Qin Zhantian invited again.
Qin Guyue originally had the idea of going out of the palace to the Jisai Trading House, so she simply pushed the boat down the river and said: "I have long admired the prestige of the soldier Gehou in the lower ranks, since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey my fate." ”
When Qin Zhantian and Qin Guyue's figures gradually moved away under the gaze of hundreds of officials, someone immediately went to report the news.
It's just that one group of people who reported was Linxi Palace, and one group of people who reported was Chengtian Palace!
Bing Gehou talks about Gu Huaisha!
What is the reason for this? One is the quasi-in-law of King Linxi, the other is the celebrity of the Prince of Nothing, and he has also served as the stand-in of the Prince of Nothingnight in the Sage Academy, these two should have only met once, what is going on!
Just after the retreat from the dynasty, in the apse of the Chengtian Palace, in the secret room, a gathering of the prince's henchmen of the Nightless Prince, had just begun.
"Your Highness!" The person sitting near the wall of the stone chamber was none other than the Nevernight Prince's intelligence chief, the Phantom Ghost. "Gu Huaisha went for a walk with Qin Zhantian, is there really no problem?"
"Don't worry, this palace believes in him. "The Nightless Prince, who had just come down from the court, didn't even change his royal clothes decorated with a golden flying dragon, and went to the secret room, obviously, there was something very important to decide.
"Phantom ghost, you said that you have something important to report to the main palace, what is the matter?" Prince Wuye glanced at the phantom ghost, then looked around at the others present and said, "Everyone here can be trusted, but it doesn't hurt you to say it." ”
"Yes, Your Highness. After speaking, the phantom took out a photographic jewel from his sleeve, pinched it gently, and unfolded a picture scroll in front of everyone.
Among them, four figures were like ghosts, and they actually came to the Linxi Palace, from outside the courtyard wall.
"This is the Heavenly Trick ......of Shooting the Sky" Sitting on the right hand side of the Prince of the Nightless Void, a beauty with red makeup like a bright peony is the Oiran who is in charge of the entire Qinglou in Yunjing City, and after she saw those figures, she immediately exclaimed: "The people of the Human Demon Palace!"
"Not bad. "The person who can make the Oiran look disgraced, you can imagine how powerful it is, and the phantom nods to indicate that the Oiran's guess is right. "It's the most terrifying killer organization, it is said that their history is longer than that of our dynasty, as early as the ancient times, they already existed, and they also assassinated an ancient powerhouse at the limit of the star level, second only to the supreme star venerable realm, so the ancient clans all called them 'human demons', and they also pursued killing to become enlightened, so they gladly accepted this nickname. ”
"Are they here to assassinate the King of Linxi?" muttered the ironclad man across from the Oiran.
"......Obviously not," Prince Wuye shook his head and said, "I should have come to talk to King Linxi about trading." ”
"Your Highness. The phantom replied respectfully, "A few days ago, I disguised myself as a concubine in the Linxi Palace, captured these figures, and came back immediately. ”
"Why are you following those killers of the Human Demon Palace, and see what they talked about with King Linxi?" Next to the phantom ghost, Long Tianci, a disciple of Momen who was sitting, frowned and said, "What is the use of us just seeing a few ghost shadows?"
"Senior brother!" A beautiful woman in white sitting next to Long Tianci was none other than his junior sister Yin Yuan. "Although the phantom ghost's disguise technique is superb, the most magical disguise technique in this world is still the skin painting magic skill of the Human Demon Palace...... Ahem. Yin Yuan's body has obviously deteriorated a little more these days, so he said a few words, coughed a few times and said: "It's the best way to do this, as long as the Human Demon Hall and the King of Linxi are still in contact, we can always find clues." ”
The Prince of Nevernight also nodded and said, "What Yin Yuan said is very reasonable...... He looked at the phantom ghost and said: "You are all the right-hand men of this palace, and losing one of them is a great loss, or should everything be done with safety first." ”
At this moment, the burly iron-armored man who was sitting opposite the Oiran and the first in the first position on his left hand looked at the Prince of Wuye and said: "Your Highness, although the legend of the Human Demon Hall has been heard by cultivators more or less, no one can find their stronghold, let alone connect, how could someone from the Demon Hall take the initiative to come to Yunjing City to find King Linxi? ”
"It's not ...... to be suspicious" A beautiful woman in a white dress and a sitting next to the Oiran fiddled with the ring in her hand for a while, and said with a clever smile: "Maybe there is something that makes the Demon Temple interesting, so they automatically and consciously came to the door." ”
