Chapter 111: The Fifteenth Day of the First Month
Their conspiracy, Shangguan Yi is naturally not clear, he is sleeping Zhengxiang now, of course, he has no time to care about these rights and wrongs.
This night, Shangguan Yi slept until the next night, if it weren't for the regularity between his breathing, his breath was not abnormal, and his heartbeat was steady and powerful, Hua Xiangrong would have wanted to call Lang Zhong to come over and have a look. After all, she had the impression that no one dared to eat against the sky so messily, and its side effects were not accumulated, it was really domineering, just look at Shangguan Yi who slept like a dead pig.
"Awake?" Shangguan Yi had just struggled to sit up, when he heard Hua Xiangrong's voice sound, turned his head to look over, and found that they should still be sleeping in the previous room, Hua Xiangrong sat at the table, holding his cheek in his left hand, and looked at him with a hint of disgust.
"Well, how long have I been asleep? nothing happened during this time, right?" Shangguan Yi thought back to the things they discussed before he fell asleep, and always felt that something was going to happen, he looked at the night outside the window, and said clearly: "It's only been a few hours, it's not a big problem, there shouldn't be an accident." ”
"No matter how many hours you think it is, maybe you should add twelve to that number, it's the next night, you're too sleepy, aren't you?" and you still don't look energetic, what did you sleep?" Hua Xiangrong glared at him, and then told the truth.
"Ahh
"yes, it's been a long time, it's been a long time since a lot of things can happen. Hua Xiangrong sighed and said as if he had some feelings.
"What's going on?" Shangguan Yi's face changed, could it be that something big happened in the chaotic land?
"It doesn't have much to do with us, the main thing is that this side of the Land of Chaos is really going to become a Land of Chaos. The president of the mercenary association died mysteriously, and the mercenary association was leaderless for a while, and the turmoil caused by this incident shook the entire chaotic place, and everyone was panicked for a while. The border guard intervened strongly to investigate the matter and make the truth public, but there was no progress and there were too few clues. The country cannot be without a king for a day, the soldiers cannot be without generals for a day, and the land of chaos cannot be without a leader, even if it is temporarily taken over by the elders of the mercenary association, but that is only an expedient measure, not for long. So the next thing should be the battle for the president of the mercenary association, plus the mercenary groups that have emerged recently are also about to move, and the strength of the old mercenary groups has been damaged, so this pool is very deep, I think it's better for us to leave as soon as possible. Hua Xiangrong told the story of what happened in the past two days, talking and talking, she herself didn't believe that what she said was true, it was really outrageous, a fourfold heaven master said that he would die, and he couldn't be hasty.
"If you solve the chess game perfectly, the feng shui of these thousands of mountains and rivers will be changed, and the various causes and effects brought about by this will also be borne by you..."Shangguan Yi recalled the entrustment of the Lord of the Heavenly City, and was a little stunned, did this begin? The feng shui changes in a radius of thousands of miles, starting from the death of a master of the four heavens, caused chaos step by step, and used this camouflage to hide his own arrangement, to achieve the purpose of fishing in troubled waters, ruthless, too ruthless.
"What, was scared?" Hua Xiangrong looked at him stupidly, a little funny, in the cemetery of the nine tombs and the same cave, I had never seen him so distracted, but now I have seen it.
"No, I'm just wondering who killed the president of the Mercenary Association. Shangguan Yi changed the topic, if there is any cause and effect, let's talk about it later, he is going to run away now, if he stays in this place, he may really be found out and beaten to death, and when he is in the future, his martial arts will be great, and he will be invincible, he is not afraid of these causes and effects, just like the contemptuous tone of the Lord of the Heavenly City, the strength is really to the point of his, these people are all the same things as ghosts and ghosts, with a sword in hand, you can kill them all.
"Who knows, anyway, the border guards are going crazy, and they are about to drive the others crazy, and they are also going crazy in Linguang. Hua Xiangrong shrugged, then got up and went out, and went to the kitchen to bring a lot of food back to Shangguan Yi, if you haven't eaten for so long, you should be able to eat so much, right?
Shangguan Yi looked at the table full of food, and the corners of his mouth twitched, what did he think of him? But he was dissatisfied, but he didn't show it, he just feasted, he was really hungry, in case she complained that Hua wanted to take too much, she would be cold if she took it back to the kitchen all her life, so it was better to eat seven points full before complaining.
"By the way, how are they in Linguang? Nothing happened, right?" Shangguan Yi didn't forget to ask about Linguang and their situation while eating, they shouldn't let those people go, especially now, the person who could stop Fu Mingqiu and might be against them has died, and they are even more fearless, Hua Xiangrong believes even if they say that they have made the chaotic place restless, and it is about to turn the sky upside down.
"This... At present, each has its own wins and losses, Linguang, Burning Shadow, and Cunning Fox have formed an alliance to deal with this gang of people together, and the other party is not to be outdone, forming a gang to slander and slander in all aspects, trying to break Linguang's camp. Because the mercenary association is involved in the middle, there is no real battle yet, but it can't run away if you think about it. After Hua Xiangrong said a few words, he paused and said something else: "When you were sleeping, well, that is, yesterday, Linguang came over, on the one hand, he wanted to discuss things with the Lie Shadow, and on the other hand, he conveyed the meaning that Fu Mingqiu wanted to see you, do you know?" Hua Xiangrong asked tentatively, this was related to whether they would be chased and killed by a great master close to the Four Heavens.
"No, but Fu Mingqiu has no reason to help the Mo family chase and kill me, with his identity, doing so will be tongue-in-cheek and bad for the reputation of the Fu family, so there is a high probability that it should be something else, I just don't know what he is going to do. Shangguan Yi shook his head, although he didn't think that Fu Mingqiu would bully the small and deal with him, and the Fu family might not be willing to help the Mo family in this matter, after all, the relationship between the two families is good, but who is more noble than whom? The Fu family will not be the licking dog of the Mo family, if you send a wanted warrant, I will send a master to help you hunt down and kill others, this is impossible and unscientific. But he still didn't want to see Fu Mingqiu, a person like him, he didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, there were not many things that could make him care, Shangguan Yi didn't feel that he could be one of them.
"I think so, I'm afraid Lieying also thinks so, I asked people to send those two VIP tickets over last night, let's prepare, leave quickly, Fu Mingqiu's side, Linguang, Lieying will be ripped over." The next departure for the East China Sea is tomorrow night, which means that we will leave tomorrow morning at the latest, but fortunately you woke up, otherwise I would have to carry you there. Hua Xiangrong patted his chest, looking happy.
"Is that so? It's okay, Fu Mingqiu won't embarrass the two of them at such a time, let's leave early, anyway, we have also got what we should take, and we have taken advantage of it, so we don't lose money." "Shangguan Yi's acquaintance is cowardly, and he wants to slip away with Hua Xiangrong.
"Well, it's actually a bit of a loss, your two pairs of gloves don't seem to be able to come back, the cunning fox returned the pair they borrowed, but it was cut off by the Fierce Shadow, and Linguang didn't mean to return it at all, but one of them compensated you with 20,000 taels of silver, which was bought from you, and it was said that you can't use it, and it's a waste to take it, so it's better to leave it to those in need." Hua Xiangrong whispered, with a little hesitation in his tone, and then took out 40,000 taels of silver tickets and handed them to Shangguan Yi.
Shangguan Yi took the silver ticket expressionlessly, very speechless, no wonder they carried the black pot so happily, it turned out to be a two of his treasures, 20,000 taels of silver, not a blood loss, but also a very loss, okay? But he didn't say much, since they wanted it, then give it to them, Seon didn't know if he was blessed, let them help share the firepower, after all, he gained so much, let people know, it was quite troublesome. Besides, two pairs of gloves really didn't have a silver ticket of 40,000 yuan that was worth him anything.
"By the way, what about the second fool, where did he go? It won't be back to his former mercenary group, right?" After Shangguan Yi figured it out, he suddenly remembered that poor but good level of the doctor second fool, he was killed by the pit in the team, and I don't know if there is a life in their mercenary group, but the second fool can come out, it is a very unhappy thing for their mercenary group, and the head of the group has not come out... It's just that you are a fool who comes out, how can you not think about it too much, not to mention whether there are any accomplices in the mercenary group who killed the second fool, and it is not a good choice for the second fool to go back, and it will even kill him.
"He went back, but he went back to get his things, and quit the mercenary group. Xiao He went with him, and he didn't know what kind of medicine that guy poured into the second fool, the second fool didn't pay attention to Lin Guang at all, and the Lie Shadow and their pull went straight to the cunning fox, the kind of stubbornness that the nine cows couldn't pull back, and the two of them jumped straight to their feet. Hua Xiangrong shared the gossip she knew, with some emotion.
"What about Yuehui? You seem to have deliberately ignored Yuehui's existence, is something wrong?" Shangguan Yi was not surprised by the choice of the second fool, he was not really stupid, how to choose, he knew better than anyone else, staying in the original mercenary group? As for joining the cunning fox, it may be the result of Xiao He's operation, that person is treacherous, and he still has a hand in governing the mercenary group, and the second fool is quite reassuring to follow him. It's just that Yuehui is not necessarily.
"Yuehui... Disintegrated, Mu Peiying seems to have come here only to explore the cemetery, the others are just dispensable tools for her, and after finding nothing in the cemetery, she will leave Yuehui, leave the chaotic place, and go back to her home. When she left, that is, yesterday, she wanted to hand over Yuehui to Quanzi, but Quanzi was unwilling, he was not that material, he hoped that Mu Peiying could stay, but in fact, no, she was very ruthless, super ruthless, and directly submitted an application to the mercenary association to dissolve Yuehui, which was passed, Yuehui disintegrated, and she also left the chaotic place with her own things, leaving the desperate Quanzi They were at a loss. Hua Xiangrong said very resentfully, and finally added: "You shouldn't have brought her out in the first place, it's simply the most poisonous woman's heart." ”
Looking at Hua Xiangrong, who even scolded herself, Shangguan Yi stopped her chopsticks, he knew that she was angry, and no one could accept such an ending, sighed, Shangguan Yi said: "I'm only glad that when I made the last choice, I was very bold to press the first choice, otherwise she would probably have some bells and whistles, what she wanted, I don't know, but I know that it must not be in the tenth tomb, but she definitely doesn't believe it." This woman is really scary, she is too good at judging the situation, you must be careful of her. Maybe it's because of the Mu family's cultivation, she's really too rational to see the emotional kind, this thing seems to be her cold-blooded and ruthless, and she throws it away when she runs out, in fact, it's the same, but it can keep Yuehui's people to the greatest extent, and the disheartened members of the group will take this opportunity to leave the chaotic place and avoid this turmoil, and those who are motivated will join other mercenary groups, whether they are dead or alive, those people are to blame, and she can't care about it, anyway, it is impossible for her to wade through this wave of troubled waters, so she left, simply neatly. This person is really dangerous, you have to be careful of her. ”
"But I think it's you who should be careful, right, obviously you are the one who has gained the most, I only took a copy of the "Summary of the Agency", I don't think she asked for it. Hua Xiangrong gloated and said, Shangguan Yi may have what she needs in the things she harvests, and it will be fun if Shangguan Yi is targeted by Mu Peiying, as long as Mu Peiying dares to make trouble with him, Shangguan Yi will definitely find a way to clean up Mu Peiying, even if Mu Peiying is secretive. For Hua Xiangrong, it will be very comfortable.
"I didn't get anything, eh. Shangguan Yi began to eat again, ignoring Hua Xiangrong's disdainful eyes.
Although he seemed to have gained a lot this time, two pairs of gloves, a set of books that I don't know what they were, a pot of wine that was said to be good, a jade pendant made of Taiyin jade, and a metal box.
Needless to say, the gloves no longer belong to Shangguan Yi, but instead they are 40,000 taels of silver; if you want to read a book, you can't read it for the time being, you can only hide the ashes, after all, the lord of the heavenly city is secret, and it's still a good thing to think about; fine wine, the amount of wine above Guan Yi, this thing can only be seen; the jade pendant made of Taiyin jade only raises women, and it is to be given to Fu Changan; I don't know what the metal box is and what it is used for, basically it is equal to nothing. With such a calculation, Shangguan Yi seems to have gotten a lot of treasures, but he can't use them, basically he doesn't get anything.
After a while, Shangguan Yi was full of tea and food, rubbed his stomach contentedly, and said, "When are we leaving?"
"The soldiers are fast, pack up your things and leave now, so as not to cause another incident, after crossing this land and arriving at the East China Sea, these people will not be able to control it. It just so happened that Shadow had prepared a horse for us, so we could leave at any time. Hua Xiangrong said with a decisive fist.
"Okay, pack up your things and leave!" Shangguan Yi also agreed with this point of view, anyway, things here are almost done, although they also caused some trouble, but after all, they still helped them, otherwise they would not have come out of the cemetery so quickly and completely. Everything Shangguan Yi can do has already been done, and the rest is not something that an outsider can interfere with him, look at the means of Linguang and Burning Shadow.
The two of them packed up their things and went to the back door to find the fast horse tied to the tree, got on the horse and left.
This movement was naturally reported to Lie Ying by the people of the mercenary group, and Lie Ying just paused for the movement of his hand and said, "I know." So he let him go down and continue his work. For Lie Ying, Shangguan Yi should indeed leave, the rest of the matter is the affairs of the Land of Chaos, and he should go to his own business, not run around for their affairs.
The two of them rode horses and galloped on the land of the land of Chaos, and there was a section of road in the middle that was not far from Junfeng, Shangguan Yi turned his head to look over there, but saw a middle-aged man with outstanding bearing standing on the roof and looking at this side from a distance, as if he was waiting to see them pass by.
Fu family Fu Mingqiu.
Even if Shangguan Yi hadn't seen him, he could guess that this person who was even more generous than Linguang at a glance was Fu Mingqiu, the Fu Mingqiu who didn't know why and suddenly wanted to see him!
Shangguan Yi didn't have any intention of stopping and chatting with Fu Mingqiu just because he saw each other, and Fu Mingqiu didn't have any intention of catching up, he had already guessed that this would be the result, so he was not disappointed, he would come to see him Fu Mingqiu sooner or later, not this time, or next time.
"Huh, I seem to have seen Fu Mingqiu just now, he seems to be waiting for us to pass by here, there is really no other way to go to the Donghai Station, what is this person's thoughts, he wants to see me, he knows that I will go here, but he just stands on the roof of Junfeng and looks this way, if it is me, at least he will stop it, no matter how bad it is, let his subordinates come and stop it, and take a look at it from a distance. Shangguan Yi frowned, a little unable to understand Fu Mingqiu.
"Perhaps, he wants you to go to him, not him to come to you. Otherwise, he thinks that you are not qualified enough for him to go to you in person, right? After all, masters have their own arrogance, and you are so weak, it is naturally not enough for him to treat you as a level opponent. Hua Xiangrong put her arms around Shangguan Yi's waist and sat behind him and said lightly.
"Yes, he has his own reserve, but unfortunately I also have mine, who is not a proud person? when I am qualified to let him come to me or I really need to go to him, let's meet again, anyway, he doesn't look like he is looking for trouble with me, and I have nothing to ask him. Let's go, and hope the rest of the road goes well. Shangguan Yi thought about it for a while, but also agreed with Hua Xiangrong's statement, and continued to ride forward.
Although he needed to find someone to send this jade pendant of Taiyin jade to Fu Chang'an, he didn't dare to be here and let Fu Mingqiu hand it over on his behalf. These are two concerns, one is that if you pass it on here, you may expose key information to others, after all, no one will give away such a thing for no reason, and the meaning behind this is worth pondering. If you sell it, the price of this thing is said to be worth a city to underestimate it, Fu Mingqiu may not be willing to buy it, he is willing to do a lot of wrongs to sell it at a low price, but in this way, it is no different from asking him to pay it on his behalf, but it will mean that there is no silver three hundred taels here. Second, just as he didn't dare to decide whether to save those who were not out of trouble for the mercenary group before, he didn't know the relationship between the mercenary group, let alone the twists and turns in the family faction. Maybe Fu Changan's weaknesses were well hidden by her, maybe Fu Mingqiu was just a person on Fu Changan's side on the surface, maybe Fu Changan had a conflict with her grandfather, everything was the reason why he couldn't do this, after seeing the filth of so many families, he didn't dare to make any moves easily, he would rather go to the East China Sea and find out if there was any Qingge's power to make plans, anyway, the future will be long.
The two of them had a smooth journey, although the situation in the chaotic land was tense, it was still calm before the storm, everyone still had some sense, the bowstring was still tight, and there was still a little distance from the moment of breaking. So, it's a good time for them to leave.
"It seems that the front is the East China Sea Station, and the atmosphere seems to be a little unusual. Shangguan Yi stopped his horse and looked at the post station in the distance that didn't seem to be anything unusual, but he had to say that the atmosphere was unusual, and he didn't know what he could see.
"It does seem a bit unusual, according to the rules of the post station, this point should be to leave a light at the door, lock the door, and the people inside should also rest. If someone wants to move in, they will have to pay double the accommodation fee, or just wait outside for them to open the door, but not only is the door not closed today, but the lights are bright, what should happen?" Hua Xiangrong poked his head out from behind him, looked at the post station carefully, and confirmed his statement.
"I don't know if there's anything wrong, I think it's a little bad, do you know the art of formation?" Shangguan Yi frowned, he naturally saw that something was wrong with this, but this rule did not work in some special circumstances of the post station, there were many special circumstances, such as the big festival, or some special festivals, war, etc., there was no need to scare yourself. He asked Hua Xiangrong this question because he vaguely felt that it was a little bad maybe he would never need to travel back and forth between Donghai and Zhongzhen in the future, but that was later.
When he woke up and Hua Xiangrong told him that the president of the Mercenary Association had died, he felt that maybe the cause and effect that the Lord of Heaven had already started, and that his enemy could lurk for a long time and wait until he died. Blood debt should be paid with blood, maybe the Lord of the Heavenly City has also arranged some forces to survive to this day, usually not obvious, once the chess game he laid out is solved, everything erupts like a volcano, such a change, Xing may start at the same time, just like this abnormal station.
If their commotion really had anything to do with the path Shangguan Yi was taking, it would be very tricky. In Shangguan Yi's view, those anomalies are caused by just a huge formation, if the formation completes its mission, when it dies, it is the most dangerous time, the previous rules will no longer work, and the entrant can only rely on his own strength to break through here to the other end, of course, you can also wait, wait until the formation completely subsides, maybe two or three days, maybe three or five years, maybe ten years, you can afford to wait, you can't afford to take risks.
Shangguan Yi is obviously the group of people who can't afford to wait.
"Yes, but if you plan to count on me to pass here, it will be a bit difficult for a strong man, except for a talented guide, if you want to pass here with your own strength, what you need is the ability of a formation master or a formation master to find and break the formation. Which one do you think we meet?" Hua Xiangrong said helplessly, in fact, her formation level is not bad, especially the ability to find the formation and break the formation, but she is not sure to clear the customs here, so she is very modest, and wants to dispel Shangguan Yi's idea of relying on the two of them to clear the customs.
"I think it's in line with the duck catcher. Shangguan Yi also sighed helplessly, and then said: "Let's go, there is no need to use VIP tickets in vain, I hope that the trouble will not be too bad, I really can't stand it, do you think with our two and a half buckets of water, can we clear here?"
"Not necessarily, do you really want to go over?" Hua Xiangrong hesitated.
"Go in to find out the situation, it's really impossible to take a detour, this is different from entering the cemetery, before entering the cemetery, I don't know the danger, it is equivalent to a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but this time we know how terrible it is ahead, how can I go to death without any certainty?
Hua Xiangrong whispered: "But you will go to death when you are a little sure, and take my life." ”
Shangguan Yi: "......." ”
He was powerless to refute Hua Xiangrong's words, so he could only pretend that his voice was too small to hear.
The two of them dismounted at the door of the post station, and showed their VIP tickets to the people who greeted the guests at the door, and after the two of them were shocked, one welcomed Shangguan Yi and Hua Xiangrong into the door with a bitter face, and the other was not much better to lead the horse to the stable to take care of the horse.
Shangguan Yi and Hua Xiangrong followed the man into the post station, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard an old man muttering something:
The fog that has haunted us for so many years will finally dissipate, and the land of chaos will usher in its true master, and our mission has been accomplished, and we will become outcasts of fate, waiting for the redemption of the dawn.
Where do we go from here?
Guests from afar will bring us answers, we just have to wait.
"What's going on?" Shangguan Yi looked at the group of people chattering around the old man in confusion, looking at the clothes, there were travelers, businessmen, and some guides, and the old man was undoubtedly a guide, even if it was before.
The little servant who led the way did not explain, but took them to the steward here, the king, and told him everything that had happened.
After listening to the little girl's words, Steward Wang also turned into a bitter gourd face.
