Chapter 1907: Coercion and Temptation
While the two were talking, the guy from the restaurant brought wine and meat again, Dongfang Qi persuaded him to drink again and again, although Luo Chen was puzzled, he still pushed the cup with him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After eating for a while, Dongfang Qi got up and left. The Ten Thousand Dao Sect's Stone Dragon Elder followed, and before leaving, he stared at Luo Chen with resentment in his eyes.
Utuku watched the group leave in amazement, and said%3a "Brother Luo, it's so strange, how could the son of Duwei Mansion ask you for help?" This matter is indeed strange, Dongfang Qi is the son of Duwei Mansion, and his father is the master of Duwei Mansion who holds a lot of power, and he doesn't know how many masters there are, why do he want to ask Luo Chen for help? At this time, Luo Chen was also puzzled in his heart, and the three of them left the restaurant full of suspicion.
Back at the trading ground of the Seven Star Sword Palace, Utuku's two senior brothers had already helped him sell his demon beast Neidan. After getting a large amount of Ujin, Utuku went to other sect exchanges to buy some of the things he needed. The group returned to the imperial capital. Because it was in the imperial capital, Luo Chen and Qing Ji didn't dare to be careless, carefully hiding their breath, and every day Utuku went to his senior brother to find out the news, while Luo Chen and Qing Ji were waiting for the news at the inn. Having just obtained some rare treasures that are helpful for cultivation, Qing Ji couldn't help but be excited, and couldn't wait to practice her skills.
Qing Ji sat cross-legged in the room, closing her eyes and cultivating, she first absorbed the snow beast essence core, and then refined a few other things. I saw steaming hot air coming out of Qing Ji's head. And Luo Chen was guarding beside him. It went on for a few days. Utuku saw that Qing Ji was in cultivation, and he wouldn't bother. But the pterosaur didn't know where it had gone.
On this day, Luo Chen was sitting in the hotel drinking and talking with Utuku, when suddenly a man in brocade walked in from outside, and said straight to Luo Chen%3a, "Brother Luo, our son-in-law invites you to come over and talk at Juxian Restaurant." ”
Luo Chen and Utuku glanced at each other, and their hearts moved, since he accepted Dongfang Qi's generous gift, he had been nervous, and he didn't know what Dongfang Qi was going to ask him to do. Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, since he has taken Dongfang Qi's generous gift, he must do things for him. After returning from Baili City, Luo Chen asked Utuku to secretly inquire and want to know what medicine Dongfang Qi was selling in the gourd, but Utuku tried his best, but he was never able to hear the news. Because Qing Ji was cultivating in the past few days, Luo Chen asked Utuku to stay in the inn to take care of Qing Ji, and he followed the brocade guard out of the hotel and walked towards Juxian Restaurant.
That Juxian Restaurant is the most upscale restaurant in the capital, and the owner of the restaurant has a connection with Tianlongwei, which is a contact point of Tianlongwei in the capital. Therefore, in order to have the opportunity to get close to Tianlongwei, those sect elders made appointments to meet guests to eat and drink in Juxian Restaurant. After coming and going, Juxian Restaurant has become a place where those powerful people in the city gather. It was noon, and the sun was shining warmly on the street. When the people on the street saw the guards of Duwei Mansion passing by, they all respectfully gave way.
The effort was not great, Luo Chen followed the guard to the Juxian Restaurant, and when he went in, it was overcrowded, and all the seats were occupied. However, Dongfang Qi is the prince of Duwei Mansion naturally has privileges that others do not have, and the guard led Luo Chen straight to a secret room on the second floor and walked in. This secret room is where Tianlongwei occasionally comes here to discuss things, but with Dongfang Qi's status, he can naturally enjoy this privilege.
The indoor fragrance is faint and the breeze is gentle. Only Dongfang Qi sat at the table and drank alone.
"Come, Brother Luo, please take a seat. Dongfang Qi stood up and smiled and beckoned Luo Chen to sit down and said.
Luo Chen politely bowed and saluted%3a, "I've seen Dongfang Gongzi." ”
"Brother Luo, it's just you and me here, sit down and be polite. Dongfang Qi said lightly.
Luo Chen immediately sat down opposite, Dongfang Qi immediately persuaded him to drink, and the two drank for a while, but Dongfang Qi never explained. This made Luo Chen secretly puzzled, but it was inconvenient to ask, so he had to drink with him.
After drinking for a while, Dongfang Qi said lightly%3a "Brother Luo, I have something to ask Brother Luo for help, I don't know if I can do it?" Without waiting for Luo Chen to speak, he heard Dongfang Qi continue to say%3a "Brother Luo, have you ever heard of the Nine Shadows Divine Mansion?"
"Nine Shadows Divine Mansion?" Luo Chen shook his head in amazement.
I saw Dongfang Qi's face suddenly become serious%3a "Brother Luo, this matter is very important, what I said to you today, you must not say it to others in the future." Seeing Luo Chen nodding, the Oriental Wizard slowly said something. The imperial dynasty has always done a good job in terms of checks and balances of power, although Tianlongwei, Duweifu, and the Great Prince all hold heavy power, they check and balance each other. And the three forces are secretly wary of each other, a few months ago, Du Wei Mansion accidentally discovered that the eldest prince's people were doing a secret thing, in order to find out what conspiracy the eldest prince was secretly having. Dongfang Qi secretly investigated, but found a mysterious place, the Nine Shadows God Mansion.
"Brother Luo, that Nine Shadows God Mansion is very likely to be the cave mansion of the true god of ancient times, and the eldest prince has recently sent a group of masters to it. The people in my mansion may be recognized by the eldest prince, and this matter can only be done in secret, so I want to invite you to help. ”
"Oh", after listening to Dongfang Qi's words, Luo Chen's heart was shocked, this matter is not ordinary, it seems that the eldest prince has discovered a cave of ancient true gods, Dongfang Qi is coveting it in his heart, but the other party is the eldest prince, and Dongfang Qi does not dare to show his face blatantly, so he invited Luo Chen to go. He was secretly surprised in his heart, this Dongfang Qi was just a prince of Duwei Mansion who dared to compete with the eldest prince for rare treasures.
"Brother Luo, although rest assured, this time I went to look for the Nine Shadows Divine Mansion, not only Brother Luo, but more than 100 people. And I will follow in secret, and there will be great gratitude after the deed. Dongfang Qi explained his intentions, and he didn't hide it, and said with a smile.
At this time, Luo Chen was horrified in his heart, if it was really as Dongfang Qi said, the Nine Shadows Divine Mansion was an ancient True God Cave Mansion, and there must be many rare treasures in it that ordinary people could not imagine, if he could get those rare treasures, I am afraid that it would be a great adventure for cultivators. Maybe ordinary people can immediately change dramatically if they get it, in the face of such a temptation, it is no wonder that Dongfang Qi dares to secretly covet it.
Dongfang Qi drank lightly, seemingly careless, but there was a hidden murderous aura in his heart, a large ban had already been laid in this secret room, not to mention Luo Chen, even if the true god came in, don't want to go out easily.
Dongfang Qi is just a prince of Duwei Mansion, although he relies on his father's power, but he is not to the point where he dares to defy the imperial power. Everything is because of greed, once the matter is revealed, I am afraid, the eldest prince is not easy to provoke, I am afraid that Dongfang Qi will be destroyed. So this matter can only be done in secret.
Now, this secret room is already full of murderous opportunities, once Luo Chen refuses to agree, Dongfang Qi will not hesitate to kill Luo Chen in order not to let the matter be revealed.
Dongfang Qi still had a faint smile on his face, but the atmosphere immediately became subtle. Now it depends on how Luo Chen answers, if he answers a little wrong, he will be attacked in an instant.
At this time, Luo Chen was also thinking violently in his heart, the purpose of his coming to the imperial capital was only to track down the whereabouts of the Golden Light Mysterious Man, because the middle-aged man with a heavenly might-like gaze had said that if he wanted to know the whereabouts of the Golden Light Mysterious Man, let him join the Tianlong Guard. All the doubts that Luo Chen had experienced before had formed a huge mystery in his mind, which drove him to urgently need to figure it out. But at this time, he understood Dongfang Qi's intentions, Luo Chen hesitated slightly, he naturally didn't want to get involved in this right and wrong, once the matter was revealed and discovered by the eldest prince, the eldest prince was not an ordinary person, and I was afraid that he would not be able to escape.
But then the words Nine Shadows Divine Mansion flashed in his mind, and his heart suddenly moved, the Ancient True God Cave Mansion, that is an opportunity that ordinary people can hardly encounter, not to mention that you can get rare treasures, even if you are immersed in the scene, it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Thinking of this, Luo Chen raised his head suddenly, and said%3a, "Thanks to the generous gift of Dongfang Gongzi before, I am willing to go." ”
"Hahahaha, refreshing. Dongfang Qi, who was nervously waiting for Luo Chen's reply, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that the wine glass in his hand at this time is already trembling, as long as Luo Chen has the slightest reluctance, the wine glass in Dongfang Qi's hand will be broken. And the two peak masters of the Divine Domain who were ambushed in the shadows would kill Luo Chen in an instant. Although Luo Chen blocked the dragon claw hand of the stone dragon of the Wandao Sect in the restaurant, in the eyes of the two peak masters of the Divine Domain, it was not worth mentioning at all. The two of them teamed up with Luo Chen, and they couldn't escape at all.
Dongfang Qi's eyes immediately flashed a cold light, and with a flip of his wrist, there was already a white vial in his hand.
"Brother Luo, I'm sorry, the poison on this bottle of Chinese pill will take three months to attack, as long as the matter is over, the antidote will definitely be given. Dongfang Qi said lightly, and with a flick of his wrist, the white bottle flew towards Luo Chen.
Luo Chen stretched out his hand to catch the bottle, and his heart sank, this Dongfang Qi's demeanor was polite, but his scheming was very poisonous. Dongfang Qi knew that this matter was not trivial, once it was revealed, I was afraid that even he would have no place to die, so everyone who participated in the operation was poisoned. As long as the matter is not revealed, once the matter is revealed, those who participated in the operation will be poisoned to death, and Dongfang Qi will not be caught by the Great Prince.
But at this time, since Luo Chen agreed, he didn't think twice, opened the bottle and took out the pill and took it.
"Hahahaha, okay, come and drink. Seeing Luo Chen take the pill, Dongfang Qi was relieved, a stone fell to the ground in his heart, and he shouted happily. Because he was worried about being detected by the eldest prince, those who participated in the operation were all unknown people he secretly snared, and forced Luo Chen and others to take poison, Dongfang Qi was happy in his heart, and thought that he was foolproof.
Pushing the cup again, Luo Chen asked suspiciously%3a, "Dongfang Gongzi, have you and the people of the Great Prince already entered the Nine Shadows Divine Mansion?"
