Chapter 23: Dong Guo Ming
Duan Tiezhu's temperament was more arrogant, he just laughed at Wang Gui, and didn't even say no.
Jia He didn't care much about Wang Gui's words, he just said to Wang Gui in a deep voice: "This time the family is in danger, Deacon Wang is even more loyal to the family, and he is poisoned for the sake of the family, so the old man should naturally do his best to detoxify Deacon Wang." As for the words of thanks, don't mention them again, when the old man returns, the old man will repay the full amount and ask for credit for the deacon king. ”
Jia He's words made Wang Gui very happy in his heart, what he did to Ao Tian some time ago was not to go further in the family, now he is loyal to the family, and he did not abandon the family at the moment of crisis, presumably Ao Ang will definitely be rewarded when he comes back.
After the three of them complimented each other, they went out together to find a place to remove poison for Wang Gui, and Ao Wushuang, who was sitting on the main seat, turned back to Ao Wufeng and said, "Don't you blame me for not taking you to the Gao family, now I'll find you something to do." ”
Ao Wufeng, who could hear the words, turned over and jumped from the stool to the middle of the hall, he looked at Ao Wushuang and said excitedly, "What is there to arrange for me?"
Ao Wushuang looked at him with a happy look, but he was a little hesitant, for fear that Ao Wufeng would make another mistake, but Ao Wufeng, who was standing in the middle of the hall, didn't think about it so much, he just wanted to do something for the family now, especially after Ao Wushuang went to Gaofu to set fire last night, he was even more anxious.
In his heart, the third brother Ao Wushuang is still an ordinary person, and he is the only one in the family who is the real descendant of Ao Wushuang, and now Ao Wushuang is not wrong to go out to kill people and set fire to the family, but he has not made any moves, if he is seen by someone with a heart, he still thinks that his adopted son does not do anything to the family.
He said anxiously to Ao Wushuang: "Wushuang, if you have anything, just say it, I will definitely handle it properly for you." ”
Hearing Ao Wufeng's promise, Ao Wushuang seemed to have made up his mind, and he said to Ao Wufeng in a deep voice: "I want you to dress up in disguise, and then sneak into the west of the city to see what the Gao family's reaction is now."
I burned down their mansion yesterday, and I'm afraid they're going to jump over the wall and do something extreme. You know, now that the deacons of our Ao family are gone, they are already weaker than the Gao family in terms of strength, if they make any moves, you can come back and tell me immediately, and we can make some preparations. ”
After listening to what his younger brother said, Ao Wufeng knew the importance of this in his heart, and he bowed his hand to Ao Wushuang, "Don't worry, I rarely move in the city on weekdays, and I rarely go to the west of the city, so there shouldn't be anyone over there who knows me." ”
With Ao Wushuang's slight nod, he turned around and walked out of the hall with the latter's "act with caution".
Ao Wushuang, who had been busy all night, finally relaxed his tense nerves at this time, and while relaxing, he also felt a burst of exhaustion, looking at the empty hall, he slowly walked back to his room and began to count the harvest in the Gao family.
He took out the red armor and the black sword and placed it on the table, and then carefully took out the misty bead from his waist, but as he untied the layers of linen wrapped around it, something surprising happened to him, the bead did not emit a single mist, he frowned and stared at the bead, and after a long time, he never saw any clue.
He had no choice but to throw the beads aside, and began to study the red armor and black long sword on the table, he picked up the red armor and compared it on himself, and found that the armor was a little small, and he felt uncomfortable for a while: "Could it be that none of the things I got last night can be used?"
After throwing the red armor aside, he stroked the body of the black long sword and thought, and as he thought, the body of the black long sword let out a soft sound, and then shook it slightly, shaking the hand that Ao Wushuang was caressing to the side.
Ao Wushuang looked at the black sword, and was surprised in his heart, this black sword was so psychic.
He stretched out his finger and gestured, the sword was two fingers wide and about three feet long, and at the hilt, a string of ornaments with some skulls hung at the end of the handle, and on the handle in the middle of the hilt, some fierce monsters were carved. The most bizarre thing is the place where the hilt of the sword meets the sword body, where there are actually two miniature versions of the skulls that look extremely real, and the eye sockets of these two miniature versions of the skull still exude a strange red glow.
Looking at the long sword in front of him, Ao Wushuang actually had a sense of evil in his heart, and he thought to himself: "How can the Gao family have such an evil thing. "This sword doesn't look serious at first glance, it's absolutely evil, he only cared about taking things last night, and didn't look closely, if he found out that this sword was so evil last night, he probably wouldn't have asked for it.
After Ao Wushuang found a place to put the three things he got last night, he lay on the bed and rested for a while, and it was not until noon that he got up and walked out of the room.
As soon as he came to Ao Wuxi's residence, he heard the quarrel inside, "Ling Yue, you get out of the way, there is such a big thing in the family, how can I not show up, even if I die, I will fight side by side with Brother Wushuang, the men of the Ao family have no bad seeds." Through the door, he heard Ao Wuxi's voice, and his heart warmed for Ao Wuxi's words.
After he pushed open the door, he just heard Ao Lingyue's crying voice, "Brother Wushuang, just lie on the bed and rest, you just got out of bed and walked today, and even if you go out, you can't help, but will make trouble for Brother Wushuang." ”
Ao Wuxi, who was about to continue to refute, saw Ao Wushuang enter the door, he staggered forward a few steps and grabbed Ao Wushuang's sleeve and said, "Brother Shuang, how is the form outside, go! I'll go out with you to face it." While he spoke, Ao Lingyue also stepped forward and said to Ao Wushuang: "Brother Wushuang, he won't listen to me no matter how I persuade Brother Wushuang, you come and tell him." ”
Ao Wushuang gently pushed away Ao Wuxi, who was grabbing his sleeve, and pulled the latter to the table to do a good job, he said to Ao Wuxian seriously: "No disease, what Ling Yue said is not wrong, you are not a cultivator, you can't help the family situation at all, if you go out, in case anything is bad, when the third uncle comes back, how can you let me explain to him." ”
Blame himself, Ao Wushuang lowered his head and blamed himself deeply, he hated that he couldn't help a little now, Ao Wushuang was right, he went out now, not to help the family, but to add to the chaos. If he fell into the hands of Gao Yuan, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Looking at the depressed Ao Wushuang, Ao Wushuang was also helpless in his heart, he didn't mean to say this, it was really true, he patted Ao Wuxian and whispered a few words of comfort, and then after asking Ao Lingyue to take good care of Ao Wuxi, he got up and walked out of the room.
After he came out, he stood in the garden and thought for a while, and then went out to face the towering building that sensed another peak of condensation last night, if he remembered correctly, that place last night should be the City Lord's Mansion, and he was going to the City Lord's Mansion to confirm his grandfather's situation.
If you ask the Gao family about this kind of thing, then Gao Yuan at this time will not tell him, I am afraid that he will have the heart to kill him directly, so he can only go to the city lord's mansion to ask what is going on, after all, it was the city lord who led the way into the mountain, and they should know something about the situation.
He came to the street and saw the crowded crowd, and sighed in his heart, due to the monster riot, the people in the surrounding villages have taken refuge in the city, and they usually have to pay a certain fee to enter and exit the border deserted city, but in this special period, the city lord's mansion has also canceled this kind of fee, and it has won the praise of many people for a while.
After squeezing through the crowd on the street, he walked quickly towards the towering buildings in the center of the city, looking at the liveliness of the street, last night's battle did not seem to have any effect on the city, after all, for ordinary people, whether it was the Gao family or the Ao family, it had nothing to do with them.
Ao Wufeng came to the front of the building and found that the so-called building was actually a tower, and the so-called tower was an outpost established by the empire in major cities, mainly in the event of war, used to observe the enemy's movements. With the decline of the empire, this former outpost gradually fell into disuse, and began to be used as the residence of the major city lords, used to observe the movements of the forces in the city.
Ao Wushuang came to the door under the tower, clasped his fists at the guards on both sides and said, "Ao Wushuang, come to visit." ”
"Childe, wait a minute, I'll go and report. The guard on the left glanced at him, dropped the sentence and hurried into the tower.
The purple-clothed young man who was playing chess with Mo Lao at the top of the tower was surprised when he heard the guard's report that Ao Wushuang had come to visit, but he was not surprised. Mo Lao looked at him and asked with a smile, "Young City Lord, what is this Ao Wushuang doing in our City Lord's Mansion now?"
The purple-clothed young man looked at Mo Lao and chuckled: "The genius of the Ao family in our Bianhuang City is not ordinary, he is here to let us take a stand and inquire about the news, since I can guess that there are changes in the mountains from Gao Yuan's actions, he Ao Wushuang can naturally do it." ”
The purple-clothed young man's sense of smell was so keen, and before Ao Wushuang came in, he had already guessed Ao Wushuang's purpose so thoroughly. However, he guessed a little wrong, for the changes in the mountains, the young man in purple did guess it, but Ao Wushuang, he cheated and got it from Jiang Wan, but these things, the young man in purple definitely couldn't guess even if he wanted to break his scalp.
Mo Lao was a little puzzled when he heard the words of the purple-clothed young man, what attitude did this Ao Wushuang show to their City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion has always been not mixed with any forces to fight, could it be that he still wants the City Lord's Mansion to help his Ao family deal with the Gao family.
The purple-clothed young man looked at Mo Lao puzzled, and he explained to the latter: This Ao Wushuang still doesn't know that Ao Ang was trapped in the snake cave, and Ao Tian was seriously injured by Gao Zhen on the way back to the city and escaped. He came here to make sure that our City Lord's Mansion would not be a fisherman's profit, and to make a move when the two of them were defeated.
After listening to the explanation, Mo Lao understood in his heart, and the purple-clothed young man said to the guards outside the door: "Bring him up, let me see what the genius of the famous border deserted city is like, and whether you are qualified to let me help him." ”
At this time, Ao Wushuang, who was still outside the tower, paced back and forth, he was already sure in his heart when he came, the current steward of the city lord's mansion was eighty percent likely to see him, but now the guards have been in to report for a while, but there is still no news.
When he was a little suspicious that he had guessed wrong, the guard who went to report came out and arched his hand at him: "Young Master Ao, my young city lord is invited." ”
"Young City Lord?" Ao Wushuang's pupils shrank suddenly, the young city lord of Border Desert City was named Dong Guo Ming, when his reputation was not obvious, this Dong Guo Ming was the real genius of Border Desert City at that time, he had already broken through the condensation at the age of ten, and was personally taken away by the high-level of Sunset Mountain, but he didn't know when this Dong Guo Ming returned to Border Desert City, and his hanging hands immediately clenched into fists.
This trip, I'm afraid it's going to be because of this Dong Guo Ming's change....
He followed the guards leading the way in front of him, stepping through the staircase made of jade to the top of the tower. When he came to the top of the tower and stood, a gentle breeze blew, and the entire border desert city was under his eyes, and even the mountains in the distance, he could see clearly. The top of this tower is not very big from the bottom, but after coming up, the top layer is dozens of zhang in size.
At the top of this tower, there are no special buildings he imagined, and at the four corners of this top, there are four yellow bells, which must be used to warn of the enemy. In the center of the top of the tower there is a small room with a chessboard in the center.
After the guard brought him to the top of the tower, he retreated. He looked at the chessboard in the room and walked forward.
The purple-clothed young man sitting across the chessboard looked up at him with a smile and said, "Ao Wushuang, hello!"
Looking at the purple-clothed young man in front of him, he said with great certainty: "Dong Guo Ming?"
The two of them, one was a genius at the beginning, and the other was a genius now, and at this time, it was finally the first time they met.
