Chapter 20 Cooperation
Wei Xinghe went out the door, took a deep breath of air, and his eyes became shrewd and bright. He didn't go to the inn outside the city for the first time, but came to the street described by Wei Changkong, took out the paintings in his hand and asked them one by one, and came all the way to the inn where Lonely was located.
"I used to live here. Wei Xinghe looked around, and then walked in. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that Lonely Li and others were sitting downstairs eating. He found a table next to him and sat down, summoned Xiao Er, and asked for two taels of wine and a plate of side dishes. He said no more, but sat quietly. Watching Lonely and the others talking.
"Brother Lone, I haven't even asked you yet, where did you go the day before yesterday, and you didn't come back overnight. The little Taoist priest took a bite of food and seemed to remember something. Turning his head to look at Silence.
Lonely Li drank all the tea in the cup, and his expression was slightly lonely: "Qiu Laosan, dead." ”
"Brother Lonely, you don't have to be too sad, how long has it been, and the building is empty. It's normal. The little Taoist priest was also stunned when he heard the news, and then he comforted him. He felt that thousands of years had passed, and it was a natural law that people died, so there was no need to be too sad.
Silence shook his head and said, "He was killed." Silence's voice was a little low, as if he was trying to suppress his emotions.
"Killed! How is it possible?" The boss of the little Taoist priest's eyes widened, this news shocked him a little, who is Qiu Laosan, how strong is it? It is enough to fight with Jian Zangfeng and others without falling behind, and An Neng's existence that retreats with his whole body is actually killed, how is this possible.
Lonely Li didn't answer him, but poured himself another cup of tea and drank it, then he looked at Wei Changkong, who was eavesdropping on the side, and said with some meaning: "This friend, you have been staring at me since just now, and you don't eat or drink the side dishes and wine, why do I have something on my face?"
Wei Changkong was also taken aback, he didn't expect this person to find himself early, and he could still pay attention to his own dynamics when talking to others.
"I didn't mean to. Wei Changkong relieved himself from his surprise and bowed to the silence.
"My name is Wei Xinghe. ”
"Wei Xinghe, Wei, are you from the Wei family?"
"Yes, but it's just a piece of waste that the family ignores. Wei Xinghe laughed at himself.
Lonely looked up and down, looking at Wei Xinghe with some sympathy. "Born with a loss of meridians, the aura cannot be gathered, and the qi cannot be condensed in a lifetime, a big family like the Wei family, your existence should be dispensable, no, they should wish you disappear, no one knows. ”
Wei Xinghe's body was stunned, and he looked at Lonely Li with a stunned face: "How do you know?" Only his father knew about his meridian damage, and others only knew that he couldn't cultivate. The person in front of him told his own problem when they met for the first time, which was incredible.
"It's not hard to see this, but I don't want to explain it to you, anyway, what are you doing here to find me?Wei Yuzhu woke up?Wei Changkong asked you to invite me?"
"Do you know my ancestor?" Wei Xinghe was like a thunderbolt in the sky at this time, looking at the blade in front of him, his eyes were full of surprise.
Seeing Wei Xinghe's appearance, Lonely Li also sighed a little disappointed.
"It seems that you don't know, but yes, how can he say this kind of thing to you. Silence looked at Wei Xinghe with some sarcasm.
Wei Xinghe naturally heard the mockery in his tone, but he didn't care at all, he shrugged his shoulders and said that it was normal.
"I really don't know about this matter, but Wei Changkong told me that you robbed Wei Feng of his exercises and injured my father. Wei Xinghe repeated what Wei Changkong said to him word for word.
"Your father?" Silence was a little confused.
"It's the second elder of the Wei family, who is now unconscious. Wei Xinghe stared at Lonely Eyes, wanting to see something, but unfortunately, Lonely Eyes' eyes were flat or flat.
Lonely Li did not admit or deny it, but smiled: "Do you believe it?"
Wei Xinghe also smiled: "I don't believe it, I took the opportunity to visit my father to have contact with his body, he was cold all over, his pulse was extremely disordered, his breathing was extremely weak, his lips were still a little purple, there was a palm wound on his chest, and a sword wound on his shoulder, but I found that these two injuries were not enough to knock my father unconscious for so long." He looked like he had been poisoned. ”
After hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Xinghe with interest.
"You think someone poisoned your father?
"To borrow my hand, get rid of you. ”
"What!" The little Taoist priest on the side couldn't sit still, and there was a faint anger on his face. "It's clear that they did it first, and if they can't beat us, they're going to kill us?"
Silence patted him on the shoulder to calm him down. Turned his head to look at Wei Xinghe.
"The Wei family borrowed your hand to get rid of me, is it up to you?" Lonely Li was a little funny, this is how much he looks down on himself.
"Of course not, they want me to go outside the city to contact the people on the dark list, and put a big reward on your head. Wei Xinghe's eyes were burning, he really wanted to see that Silence could fluctuate when he heard these words, but he made a mistake again, Silence still didn't have the slightest expression, and it was still that light and breezy appearance. He couldn't help but admire him. "I'm afraid this person really has great powers. ”
"Dark list?" Silence frowned, he had just been reborn not long ago, and he still didn't know much about the current forces. He looked at the little Taoist priest and asked him to explain.
The little Taoist priest's voice was a little low: "The dark list is one of the top three organizations of the dark forces. It was spontaneously formed by the recklessness of the rivers and lakes and the abandonment of some traitors of some sects. As long as money is given, they can have no bottom line. If the Wei family really wants to do this, we may be in danger this time. The little Taoist priest looked at the silence with some concern. Loneliness has always been his backbone, and many times, this kind of troublesome thing just makes him think about it, and he is lazy if he can.
Silence didn't show too many mood swings, but pondered for a moment, looked at Wei Xinghe and said, "Since that's the case, then what is the purpose of you coming to me? ”
Wei Xinghe showed a very sincere smile: "I hope you can help me destroy the Wei family, or let me become the head of the Wei family." Wei Xinghe finally showed his ambition at this moment. He had long had enough of being pointed at and scolded, and he didn't want to be ridiculed by others. He will climb, climb to the highest, and he will make all who despise him tremble.
"It's good to be ambitious, but you have to have the strength to match your ambition. In the final analysis, you are still just an ordinary person who can't cultivate, how can you sit in charge of the Wei family. Silence broke a wave of cold water at the right time.
Wei Xinghe didn't care at all, and continued: "I am the head of the family, it does not mean that the Wei family is mine, if I become the head of the family, the Wei family will obey your dispatch and take the lead for you." With that, he bowed with his armrest. It means that you don't promise me not to get up.
"You get up first, some things are not helping you but helping myself, since Wei Changkong is so untrustworthy, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and his tone was extremely cold, and Wei Xinghe on the side couldn't help but shudder.
"Thank you very much. Wei Xinghe's face was overjoyed, and he bowed to the silence again. Then he said: "I will immediately go to an inn in the west of the city according to Wei Changkong's request, and I will tell you the news, but Wei Changkong will never let himself go back safely, I hope you can help." ”
"Actually, you don't have to go at all, I plan to go directly to the Wei family. Silence interrupted him, preferring to do it once and for all. Since Wei Changkong was already planning to kill himself, he didn't plan to let Wei Changkong continue to live.
Wei Xinghe shook his head and said: "No, not only will the reputation of the Wei family be greatly reduced, but I also have not established prestige, and I will not be able to sit firmly in the position of the head of the Wei family at all, and those elders will not agree." ”
"What do you mean?"
"I will go to find the people on the dark list, but the person I want them to kill is Wei Changkong, of course it is not necessary to kill, it is best to let him have no time to distract from other things, when the time comes, everything in the Wei family will be handed over to the elders, except for the big elder, the other elders are friendly with my father, and they are extremely dissatisfied with Wei Changkong, as long as my father gets the real power, then the Wei family will be mine, and then I will let my father claim that Wei Changkong colluded with the secret list, and when the time comes, he will not only be hunted down by the dark list, but also suffer from the encirclement and suppression of the major families, and even the major sects。 At that time, our Wei family will not only leave a reputation for killing relatives for the sake of justice, but also let my father rightfully sit in the position of the head of the Wei family. ”
Wei Xinghe told Lonely Li about his plan, and suddenly everyone was dumbfounded, even Lonely Li couldn't help but be a little admired, this person will definitely be a think tank, but he also left a thought in his heart, after all, it is just a cooperative relationship, in case he turns against the water one day, he is not afraid, but what about the children?
"However, there are still a few unstable factors, one is the Great Elder, and the other is the Ancestor. The Great Elder is okay, my father and several elders together are not afraid of him, but if the Ancestor goes out and knows everything, it will be bad. Wei Xinghe was not happy about this, but expressed his worries.
Lonely Li waved his hand and said, "You can do it without worry, as for your ancestor, I can solve it, and I really want to talk to her." "If it weren't for Wei Changkong assuring him, as long as the ancestor was out of the customs, he would let her come to see him, and the silence would have been over a long time ago. Why wait until now?
Seeing that Lonely Li was so sure, Wei Xinghe was also relieved. Suddenly, he thought of something again, and hurriedly said: "My father has been poisoned and has not been unconscious yet, do you have a way to detoxify?"
Silence took out two pills, one was golden and the other was turquoise, both exuding a faint fragrance. Wei Xinghe was also suddenly startled when he saw the thing in his hand, and he looked at Lonely Li with some uncertainty.
"This... This is the Detoxification Pill and the Healing Pill, and they are all the best elixirs!" His tone trembled a little, a little incredulous. Even if his Wei family has a big business, there are very few people who can do this alchemy, and there are no people in his Wei family who can do alchemy, and the pills are all purchased at a high price, and they are just the most ordinary pills. Now the two pieces that Lonely has given him, in terms of color and fragrance, are the best of the best. And looking at his appearance, it seems that these two pills are insignificant.
Seeing Wei Xinghe's surprised appearance, Lonely Li reassured him, how much he wanted this medicine, rest assured that he would take it back to his father, and he could wake up on the same day, Wei Xinghe was suddenly full of gratitude, and wanted to kneel and kowtow to Lonely Li, but Lonely moved faster and held him up. He was a little helpless, he said it well, why did he kowtow to himself at every turn.
Wei Xinghe also knew at this time that Lonely Li didn't like this, so he didn't force it, so he put the pill in his arms and treasured it. Then he glanced at the sky and got up to take his leave. He's going, and he's not going, I'm afraid it's not going to arouse suspicion. Silence also wiped his mouth at this time, and said to Xiaoyu and the others: "It seems that your cultivation has to be moved back, I will go and solve the matter first, and I will come back soon." With that, he made a leap and disappeared into the inn.
In an inn in the west of the city, there are many people sitting in it drinking, Wei Xinghe pushed the door in at this time, and everyone stared at him, Wei Xinghe chuckled in his heart, a little panicked, he looked left and right, a little cramped and uneasy, although he was smart and had an excellent mind, but in the end, now he is just an ordinary person who has no power to tie the chicken, and these big men in front of him can pinch themselves to death with one finger. But when he thought that the silence was not far away at this time, he was also relieved a lot.
"Who of you is the shopkeeper here?" because the inn was not big, and everyone was looking at him at this time, and it was very quiet. As soon as Wei Xinghe's voice came out, a person with short stature and slender eyes who looked very obscene walked out, he came to Wei Xinghe and looked at it.
"What do you want objectively? wine or food? If you want to drink milk, you have to go back to your wife!" Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, the inn erupted in laughter.
Wei Xinghe was not angry, he was used to being ridiculed since he was a child, compared to these, he had heard all the more ugly ones, these were nothing. I saw him take out the Qiankun bag from his arms and throw it to the shopkeeper.
"Help me kill someone, of course don't kill him so quickly, it's better to torture him slowly. Inside is the reward, and after the deed is completed, there will be heavy thanks. Wei Xinghe said.
The shopkeeper took the Qiankun bag, looked inside, and then smiled, and looked at Wei Xinghe's expression a lot better.
"Okay! I'll arrange it. Please don't reveal our whereabouts, or we will hunt you down. Do you understand?" the shopkeeper reminded Wei Xinghe at the end.
Wei Xinghe nodded, he still knew this rule. In order to ensure that the stronghold will not be discovered, all those who come to seek the killer will have to ensure that they do not reveal the traces of the secret list, and if someone leaks it, the dark list will issue a hunt and kill order, and they will not die. Someone once leaked the existence of the secret list like the imperial court, causing the imperial court to send someone to clear it. But when the people of the imperial court arrived, there was nothing left here for a long time. Three days later, the leaker died violently at home, and his head was hung above the city gate, and the tragic death can be imagined.
"Okay, since you know the rules objectively, then please return objectively, and we will send someone over in the next few days. The shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction, and then gave the order to evict the customer.
Wei Xinghe also slowly went out, looking at the sun that was about to go down, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, he knew that he was still coming when he was supposed to come, and he was not afraid, after all, he would have to leave sooner or later. The path that Wei Xinghe walked on when he went back was a dense bamboo forest here. He also deliberately went this way, because it was close to the city gate, and the people who wanted to kill him could hide.
"I'm really thinking about those killers. Wei Xinghe looked at it and smiled self-deprecatingly.
When he was halfway there, there was a rustling sound of leaves in the bamboo forest, and more than a dozen figures rushed out, all of them killers dressed in black and covering their faces. They surrounded Wei Xinghe at the moment, slowly narrowed the encirclement, and slowly walked towards Wei Xinghe step by step. Wei Xinghe was also taken aback at this time, although he had expected it a long time ago, and when he really encountered it, the panic in his heart could not be suppressed, he looked at the black-clothed people who were approaching him step by step, he panicked, but he didn't dare to shout for silence, because he was afraid that the plan would fail, and he also believed that silence would be his.
Just as he hesitated, several men in black suddenly jumped up, and the shiny sword looked extremely cold in the moonlight. "Death!" The sword fell suddenly, and just as it was about to slash at Wei Xinghe, an afterimage skimmed by, bouncing several people away.
Several men in black couldn't help but be a little flustered, and hurriedly looked around, but they didn't find anyone.
"Who's it! Who's pretending to be a ghost!" a man in black looked around vigilantly, and secretly wondered in his heart who would be who would save this waste?
Wei Xinghe was immediately relieved when he saw the knife being bounced off, and then secretly frightened: "It's amazing!" This person is really strong, but it's a pity that he can't practice, otherwise he can do it like him.
Seeing that no sound came out, several black-clothed men decided to make a quick decision and kill Wei Xinghe back to the business. Several people drew their knives again and attacked Wei Xinghe, and they deliberately attacked him from all sides, so that Wei Xinghe had no way to retreat.
"Succeeded!" The man in black was overjoyed when he saw that his knife was about to touch Wei Xinghe's neck.
Suddenly, a few bamboos flew out of the bamboo forest, the speed was so fast that only the whistling sound could be heard, and then the bamboo steadily inserted a few people, and the faces of several men in black changed, but it was too late to dodge at this time.
"Ahh
Several men in black let out a scream, and they were stuck in the ground by bamboo, and they were silent. Their eyes were wide open, and there was reluctance and despair in their eyes. They didn't think until they died that they would die like this. I didn't even know what the other party looked like, so I died. Seeing this, the remaining men in black retreated one after another, and the speed was so fast that they flew out like arrows off the string, and they didn't dare to stay longer, for fear that a bamboo would fly behind them, so they stuck themselves and others to death. They had to go back and report the news.
Seeing a few people far away, Lonely Li walked out of the bamboo forest slowly. His face was flat, and he couldn't see joy.
"Let a few people go back and report the news, add credibility, and you'll take care of the rest. Silence looked at Wei Xinghe and said. He also did what he should have done, whether he can bring down Wei Changkong depends on his ability, it is naturally good, and it is not harmful to himself if he does not succeed, it is just a big deal to go to the door in person.
"Okay! Thank you for today's business. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out this time, so please take care!" Wei Xinghe bowed deeply. He is very grateful that Lonely Li saved him in the moment of life and death, although it is said that it is cooperation, but the other party actually doesn't care. It's all about perfecting yourself. For him, this is already the greatest help.
"When my father takes over the Wei family, I will come to you again. Wei Xinghe bowed again and turned around and left, he walked very directly, very refreshingly, without a trace of mud and water, this is also where Lonely Li admires him, he has the ability, arrogance, forbearance, and means, and is ruthless enough, except that he can't practice, there are no shortcomings. Of course, Loneliness can make up for it, but it depends on his performance.
"Eh, what is this?" After seeing Wei Xinghe leave, a piece of paper fell from him, and he picked it up and took a look: "Flowers bloom and give birth to two sides, life is between Buddha and Demons, Buddha and Demon have one thought, and the sword is peaceful in the world." Oh, that's a big breath. Silence smiled, but his words were full of appreciation. You can add one more, and it's very negative.
