Chapter 258: The Missing Sect Master
After the meal, Wu Qing began to talk to Wu Hao about business.
Originally, Wu Hao wanted to go back to Cloud City with Wu Qing for the New Year after the year-end summary meeting of the Red Lotus Sect.
Because he hasn't returned to Cloud City for a year, it's still a little strange to miss it now.
But this time, when Wu Qing came, he had another idea.
That is, they did not return to Cloud City, but let their mother come to the side of Autumn Wind City.
According to Wu Qing, there is constant friction on the border between Yue and Wu, and some secret agents and secret rooms arranged in Yue are frequently active and emerge in an endless stream.
According to Wu Qing's judgment, the relationship between the two countries may be difficult to improve in the near future, so the environment in Luoyun City will become less safe.
Because Luoyun City is only a little more than a day's journey away from Wu Kingdom, if something happens, it will inevitably bear the brunt.
In case Wu Mengyu has three longs and two shorts, even if Wu Hao has the combat power to surpass Tianjiao, he may not be able to reach it.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Wu Qing and Wu Hao discussed that this year, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, they would move Wu Mengyu over, and then deal with the industries in Luoyun City, and change the focus of their Wu family's development to Autumn Wind City.
However, the question now is how to convince their mother, Wu Mengyu.
Wu Qing mentioned that she actually contacted her mother some time ago and mentioned this topic. But Wu Mengyu said that she didn't want to move, after all, she had been operating there for many years.
So Wu Qing gave Wu Hao a bad move, that is, it was claimed that Wu Hao was seriously injured and had no way to go home for the New Year.
Wu Qing knew her mother, if she was injured, Wu Mengyu might not come. But if Wu Hao made any mistakes, she would definitely come here as soon as possible.
She planned to fool people first.
By then, it was already approaching the New Year, and presumably Wu Mengyu was not willing to toss back and forth like this. At that time, the two of them slowly persuaded it.
In addition to the plan to deceive Wu Mengyu, Wu Qing also mentioned that it was best for their sister and brother to buy a house or manor near Autumn Wind City in advance, so that Wu Mengyu could settle down at that time.
Originally, Wu Hao's original manor was very suitable, but the two of them felt that so many people had just died in the manor, which was somewhat unlucky.
So they gave up the idea of settling Wu Mengyu in Wu Hao's manor, and could only find a new place.
The place Wu Qing has actually found.
It was a mansion where fallen officials had been raided, and it was now being resold by the government at a low price.
Wu Qing can take down this mansion at an internal price, but as for the money, she has to find her brother to share half of it.
Even if Wu Hao is halfway, she still feels wronged.
After all, she is busy, and Wu Hao only needs to pay in a chic manner.
The old lady's partiality is so obvious, and in the end, it is not her daughter who really worries about her.
Hum!
After planning with Wu Hao to fool his mother, Wu Qing said goodbye to Wu Hao.
She told Wu Hao that it was best to wait for a while before implementing it. At that time, the New Year was approaching, and it was easier to persuade Wu's mother to live because of the established facts.
Moreover, the decoration work of the newly purchased mansion had to be completed by Wu Hao.
Because Wu Qing has been busy with sect tasks recently.
"It's about to be the year-end assessment, why do you still have a task?"
Wu Hao asked a little puzzled.
Because this time is close to the Chinese New Year, the tasks in the sect hall are relatively rare, and the disciples rarely take tasks at this time.
So he was a little curious about his sister's mission.
"It's a task jointly assigned by several elders in the sect, and they found my head, so I can't refuse at all!" Wu Qing said with a somewhat solemn face.
"This task is closely related to my Red Lotus Sect, and it can even be related to the rise and fall of the sect, so I can't ignore it. ”
"Ah, what kind of task is so hanging?" Wu Hao couldn't help asking.
"Looking for Cao Wushuang!" Wu Qing didn't have the idea of concealing it, and said truthfully.
"He?" Wu Hao was really a little surprised this time: "How could he be related to the rise and fall of the sect, could it be that he has some earth-shattering background?"
Wu Hao asked intently, he said in his heart that if Cao Wushuang was really extraordinary, he would have to prepare well.
"That's not it!" Wu Qing replied: "Cao Wushuang is not important, the important thing is that he is very likely to have an important piece of news, but this Cao Wushuang doesn't know why he hasn't returned to the sect yet, and the elders in the sect can't sit still, so they came to me." ”
"Important news......" Wu Hao couldn't help but think of the unlucky guy Cao Wushuang who killed him by taking advantage of the Shura Mark bonus state after the first battle of Li Chuan's four friends.
It seems that at that time, he really said that he had important news.
Wu Hao thought that it was a pretext made up when he was being chased and killed, and he wanted to find a reason to drag himself into the water.
Since he really has news, why hasn't the news come back yet, Wu Hao knows in his heart.
I think it's because his sister has the identity of Yue Guo's famous arrest, so some elders of the sect will pin their hopes on her.
"Confess leniently, sit in prison, resist strictly, and go home for the New Year. ”
Wu Hao silently recited the warning words in his heart, and secretly thought that he had to pay attention to the progress of the case at any time.
So he asked, seemingly unintentionally, "What news is so important?" for the elders to pay so much attention to. ”
Wu Qing smiled but did not speak.
Qian Bao'er, who had been listening to their discussion next to her, rolled her eyes when she saw this, and returned to the back room with the rabbit in her arms.
At this time, Wu Qing approached Wu Hao and whispered in his ear: "The whereabouts of the sect master!"
"Huh?" At this time, Wu Hao was really surprised: "The whereabouts of the sect master, what do you mean, is it ......?"
"That's right, since half a year ago, my Red Lotus Sect Sect Master Wen Jingru has disappeared......"
Wu Qing began to whisper to Wu Hao about what had happened in the Chu State in the past six months, which made Wu Hao know that the Red Lotus Sect's trip to the small world was not so simple.
It turned out that when the small world was first discovered, the first people to enter were not the elders and inner disciples of the Red Lotus Sect, but the sect leader of the Red Lotus Sect, Wen Jingru, and the two true disciples she carried, Huo Wu Dieyi and Leng Ruoqiu.
Because at that time, they were exploring the news of the Black Yan people in the Chu State. So when the small world was discovered, they approached the water and entered the small world first.
There will be no news from all since.
In fact, whether Wen Jingru entered the small world or not, the upper echelons of the Red Lotus Sect were not very sure. It wasn't until Cao Wushuang found the body of True Disciple Leng Ruoqiu in the small world that they really took this matter seriously.
Based on all kinds of clues, they judged that the sect leader Wen Jingru was very likely to have entered the small world, but they didn't know why, she and Fire Dance Butterfly were missing.
Therefore, despite being a barren small world, the upper echelons of the sect still used a large number of inner disciples to explore. It's called exploring the small world, but in fact, they are using this means to gather information and find out the whereabouts of the suzerain.
Of course, this kind of important news was not disclosed to the inner disciples at the top level. These disciples thought that this was just a large-scale exploration of the small world.
This kind of thing can be hidden from other inner disciples, but it can't be hidden from Cao Wushuang, after discovering Leng Ruoqiu's body, Cao Wushuang and the elders participated in the search for the sect master.
But last month, he suddenly didn't say goodbye, didn't say hello to the top of the sect, and left the small world in a hurry.
The high-level of the sect still found out that one of his good disciples had different words and deeds, and only after interrogation did they get a piece of news.
According to that disciple, Cao Wushuang seemed to have an important clue, but he did not report it to the top level of the sect who came to the small world, because he suspected that there were internal ghosts in the top level of the sect.
The matter was too important, Cao Wushuang couldn't believe it, so he could only urgently go back to the sect to report the details and then make a decision.
I didn't expect there to be no follow-up......
What clues did he have, and it has become a completely unsolved case!
