Another helper
"Why are you here for no reason?" The process of waiting for the dishes was tormenting, and Feng Li, who was puzzled, couldn't sit still, so he asked very simply.
"Let's tell me why you're here and why you're killing so many people. Jiu Yao asked rhetorically.
"Emmm, why are we here?" Feng Li turned his head and asked Shangguan Yi.
Shangguan Yi didn't speak, poured a cup of tea, dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote a word on the table: Dao, and then lowered his eyes and said: "For this word." Everyone has their own way, and in order to practice it, there is the next action, you are like this, I am like this, and he is no exception. ”
"Dao?" Jiu Yao was also silent for a while, Shangguan Yi's explanation is actually the same as not explaining, because people always have their own purpose in doing something, such as some perverts who are bored to kill people are also to pass the time, what he wants to know is something specific, but he also knows that if he doesn't say it, the other party can't tell him. One thing I may have misunderstood, he is not a madman, or not so simple a madman, with such a clear mind, killing must also have his own considerations.
"I came looking for something, something that was important to me, and although I thought it was very unlikely that I could find it, I wanted to give it a try. "Jiu Yao gave the reason why he came here, which is also a necessary item for the realization of his way.
"Maybe we can help you, we swept away a group of people from the most doggy family in the whole of Nanke, if it is something rare, we should have some impressions. Shangguan Yi asked, looking like a well-wisher, actually wanting to explore some secrets about Jiu Yao.
"Ice Jade Beads. Jiu Xiao closed his eyes, and the blue tendons on his forehead jumped, but he still said. This matter is actually a secret to him that needs to be kept, but he still confesses it at this moment.
"Ice Blue Heart?" In Feng Li's puzzled eyes, Shangguan Yi said this term with some surprise.
"You actually know, no, have you seen it? Where is it?" Jiu Yao stood up a little excitedly, looking for a long time to no avail, how can he be calm at this moment when there seem to be some clues?
"This ...... I just heard from a friend about this thing, isn't it a product of Beihan, why did you come to the East China Sea to find it?" Shangguan Yi shook his head and lied. It was impossible for him to tell Jiu Yao about the Ice Blue Heart, Ice Worms, and Spirit Snakes, and it was impossible for him to tell Jiu Yao that someone had a good Ice Blue Heart there.
"That's right. Jiu Yao sat down with some disappointment, and then said: "I have found all the places I can find in Beihan, but I can't find them, and the place where there must be an ice blue heart is a place that I can't reach, and even if I get that kind of ice blue heart, I can't use it." Then I heard that there seemed to be a transaction history of the Ice Blue Heart in the East China Sea, so I followed that information all the way down to here. ”
"You're really persistent, but from the places we've swept so far, there's no record of the Ice Blue Heart. Shangguan Yi said, gave Feng Li an inquiring look, and after getting the other party's negative meaning, he continued: "However, after sweeping Liu Wangfu's mansion, I found that the harvest of Ning Wang's mansion is actually a bit strange.
As the king of a large part of the surrounding territory, the foundation of King Ning's Mansion should be quite profound, at least he can't lose to his younger brother Liu Yi. But in fact, Liu once the mansion has gained far more than Ning Wang's mansion, there must be demons when things go wrong, I can boldly guess: Ning Wang has other dens, and my friend has also confirmed this, tomorrow we will go back to destroy there, now invite you to join, let's go together? If there is an ice blue heart there, I will give it to you, if not, let my other friend help you find the relevant news together, it is much better than you find it yourself, how about it?"
Yes, Shangguan began to go into the water for a long time while chatting, the offensive and defensive battles of the villa are definitely not easy to fight, and it will be better to catch a few more coolies to go into the water.
"You're pretty calculating. Jiu Yao glared at Shangguan Yi, and some wanted to hit someone.
"Hahaha, it's too famous, happy cooperation. Shangguan Yi scratched his head and said with a smile, he knew that he couldn't refuse for a long time, and the effect of the Ice Blue Heart on him must be extraordinary, even if it was a clue or a possibility, it should not be missed. Although it was a little despicable, because he felt that King Ning didn't have this thing there, Shangguan Yi decided to drag Jiu Yao into the water for the sake of safety. Eh, it's hard for people to live long without selfishness, this is the world of adults, right?
"Hmph, you'd better pray that you can help me, if you waste my time and let me get nothing, if you use you as a gunman, I will definitely let you walk around without food, even if she protects you. He grinded his teeth for a long time, and warned Shangguan Yi with a cold face.
Shangguan Yi stretched his waist, and then said: "Don't be so stingy, you help me, I'll help you, this is right, I will try my best to help you find it, Anla." ”
"It's better to be so. "Jiu Yao doesn't trust Shangguan Yi, but there is no way, it is too difficult for him to find it alone, he is not familiar with the place, it is difficult to get it, and there are people who are looking for trouble with him, maybe relying on him is a good choice?
"Two masters, the things you want are all ready, use them slowly, and look for us again if you need to. When they spoke, Xiao Er was also constantly serving food, and finally when they were finally served, Xiao Er breathed a sigh of relief, put the sweat towel in his hand on his shoulder, and said respectfully.
"Two upper rooms, thank you. Shangguan Yi picked up the chopsticks and said.
"A double room. Feng Li looked at Jiu Yao and corrected.
"Huh?" Xiao Er looked at these two uncles who couldn't be messed with with a little embarrassment.
"Add an extra bed to an upper room, whatever bed you want, you can sleep." Shangguan Yi glanced at Feng Li and said to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er saw that Feng Li didn't object at all, and said, "Okay, this master." So he went down and got busy. This service is a bit beyond their requirements, but the key is not to provoke, not to mention adding a bed, even if the room is dismantled and made into a bed.
Shangguan Yi ignored the strange gazes of others, and cleaned up the food on the table, and Feng Li was not far behind, although her meal volume was not as good as Shangguan Yi, but when she grabbed the food, her skills were not weak.
Although part of the reason is because Shangguan Yi doesn't rob her much, after all, the hungry Shangguan Yi is already close to a monster who eats everything, and he is still rational if he doesn't bite the table.
"You two...... Is the hungry ghost reincarnated?" Jiu Yao looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but complain.
"As long as you talk a lot, you can't die if you don't say a word. Shangguan Yi took the time to reply, and then continued to eat and drink, until the food on the entire table was swept away, and only a little leftovers were left, and then he put down his chopsticks under the gaze of the stunned eight people.
Yes, eight people, the original six including Jiu Yao plus Xiao Er and Feng Li.
"Okay, settle these and the cost of the room first, and put the rest in the account room, and then tell me if it's not enough, and remember to pay it back to me when I check out." Shangguan Yi took out a thousand taels of silver ticket and handed it to Xiao Er, although he didn't know how much this meal was, but he thought it was a lot of money, one hundred taels was not enough, one thousand taels was still enough, right?
"Okay, okay, do you have any other needs?" Xiao Er took the silver ticket, his hands trembled a little, to be honest, he was ready for Shangguan Yibai's prostitution, but he didn't expect to pay the money.
"Take us to the room, we're going to rest, see you tomorrow." Shangguan Yi instructed Xiao Er to say hello to Jiu Yao and went upstairs, Feng Li followed, leaving Jiu Yao to sit there, squinting at the backs of the two of them.
After returning to the room, Shangguan Yi originally wanted to sleep in the outer room, but was driven to the inner room by Feng Li on the grounds of "being careful for a long time", sitting on the bed and meditating to recover his strength and spirit, summing up today's gains and losses.
"Aren't you sleeping?" asked Feng Li as he sat on the bed.
"Meditation recovers faster, what's the matter, you can't sleep?" Shangguan Yi didn't open his eyes, and replied that he was now meditating at a shallow level, and it didn't matter.
"Hmm, I just want to remind you that the next time you have time to sleep, you don't know when it will be, can your mental strength still hold up?" Feng Li pouted, if you want to engage that King Ning in Kyoto, with the temperament of a senior brother, he will definitely win it in one go, from yesterday to I don't know when it will end, Shangguan Yi and she must be two people who are more difficult, and it is easy to have an accident if they don't rest.
"It's okay, I have a rebellion, you can take it on top when you need it, you can sleep. Shangguan Yi smiled and replied.
"Okay, you can do it if you think you can, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes. Of course, Feng Li knew what it was, and she didn't want Shangguan Yi to use it, but it was not easy to say it directly.
"Hmm. Shangguan Yi replied with a word and concentrated on meditating, while Feng Li also slept in his clothes slightly and stopped caring about this guy.
Early the next morning
Shangguan Yi, Feng Li, and Jiu Xiao drove the carriage to the yamen after breakfast, and they made an appointment to gather here.
When they arrived, only one of Mo Lan's guards was waiting for them at the door, and Shangguan Yi, who was watching, asked a little strangely: "Didn't you say that you went over early this morning to explore the way? Why are you the only one?"
"The adults and the thief interrogated Liu once he was angry last night, and he didn't fall asleep until dawn, and he hasn't gotten up yet, and the others haven't arrived yet. The guard replied with some embarrassment.
"What's the matter? Once Liu refuses to say, he is so tough?" Shangguan Yi said with a hint of admiration and got out of the carriage.
The guard shook his head and said negatively: "Of course not, with the adults here, how can you not ask what that guy said?" It's just that the specific process is too much, and the adults are so angry that I can't say it, so please talk to the adults in detail when you go back." ”
"Well, take care of the carriage, and I'll go in and take a look." Shangguan Yi said a word to the guards, and then walked to the prison with Jiu Xiao and Feng Li, but Shangguan Yi stopped before stepping into the prison, turned his back to the two of them and said, "You two go outside and wait for me, don't go in." ”
Feng Li and the others were a little inexplicable, but they still listened to him, who made him, a weak chicken, faintly the leader.
There was a pungent smell of blood in the prison, and when you walked a few steps inside, you could see a corpse on the torture rack with blurred flesh and blood, but the white bones could not distinguish the face, and the blood stained the surrounding area for almost half a zhang, which had solidified and slowly dried up. Judging by the fragments of clothes, it should be...... Liu's once.
"My lord, my lord, I want to recruit, I will explain, I will say everything, you give me a good time, my lord!" After the prisoner next to him realized that someone had come in, he cried over the railing, and more and more people joined the team, and the noisy Shangguan Yi said a little irritably: "Shut up for me, and if you shout again, call the one from last night to serve you!"
The world is at peace, and no one dares to say a word again.
"Who is the villain, Mo Lan?, what did Liu once say?" Shangguan Yi muttered and walked out of the prison, also a little chilled.
"Huh, you're here?" Mo Lan walked over to greet him a little haggard, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
"Well, did Liu once have any key information last night?" Shangguan Yi asked seemingly unintentionally.
"Eh, come with me, King Ning, damn it, damn it!" Mo Lan gritted his teeth, and his hatred couldn't be more obvious.
After the group entered the study, Mo Lan explained the original story: "Although King Ning is titled "Ning", he does not have the meaning of keeping to himself, as early as when the first emperor did not go, he had the intention of rebellion, but the accumulated strength has been insufficient, and he has been dormant because he lacks a team that can determine the outcome and compete with the emperor, until recently, he felt that he could, so he had such a small action.
His hole card is poison.
The black cloak was returned to King Shunning a long time ago, and he was a criminal who was expelled by Miao Jiang for the crime of researching and manipulating the Gu poison of the human body and conducting human experiments.
But even with the support of King Ning, there was little progress in his experiment, because at first King Ning didn't think that he would succeed, and the support was like raising a doorman, and later, he suddenly came up with some results, and only then did he get further support from King Ning, and now I think about it, I got the support of the blood cloak, right?
Later, his research was smooth sailing, until he encountered a bottleneck that could no longer improve the strength of the poisoner, at this time he proposed three possible solutions to King Ning to solve this problem, materials, poison and poison transformation.
The material refers to the person who makes the poison, the poison refers to the Gu poison, and the poison transformation is to transform part of the body of the poisoner into the product of the mechanism, which involves another general under King Ning, Gongsun He, who is a master of the mechanism of the human body.
The careerist doesn't care about the cost, ethics, all he wants is success, so ...... King Ning chose to go hand in hand with three lines.
In all the East China Sea, and even in neighboring countries, not just near Nanke, there are people who abduct and sell people for the Black Cloak to conduct experiments, and in the end, the Black Cloak gives the answer that children around the age of ten have the most potential to become the ones who complete the poison treatment, followed by the people in the martial arts. Because of this sentence, I don't know how many families have been ruined.
But because in the era of unpeace, human trafficking was almost commonplace, so no one noticed these anomalies.
This is only one aspect, for the sake of poison, they even dared to attack Miao Jiang, completely carried out a war of extermination against the village, and even threw the black pot to the East China Sea court, intending to provoke a war between the East China Sea and Miao Jiang, and finally ended the war with the old emperor's head as a sincerity, and ceded land and paid compensation. "Mo Lan was a little angry when he said this, incompetent and furious, if he could have known earlier, he would definitely have to make him pay!
"Don't be impulsive, we'll make him pay. Shangguan Yi patted him on the shoulder.
"Well, I also learned from him about the location of the mountain villa and the approximate deployment of troops, it is quite dangerous, you have to be prepared, there may be a complete grade level of poison people in it, although most of them have been taken away by King Ning, but there should be some of them, their bodies are extremely hard, difficult to destroy, there are Gu poison on their claws, teeth and the like, and they may even use tricks, which are said to be able to match the people of the Triple Heaven level. Mo Lan nodded, pressed the anger, and said seriously.
"I've already seen the level of finished grades, it's really difficult, once Liu knows their weaknesses?" Shangguan Yi frowned, that kind of poisonous person yesterday really made him suffer a lot of losses.
"How could that waste know? He said there was no solution, he could only kill the controller, or else he wouldn't even think about it. Mo Lan shook her head and said with some solemnity.
"Then you can only see the tricks, and from the analysis here, I'm afraid there are more of these poisonous people hidden in Kyoto, ordinary people can't ignore that kind of poison, even if it is a master of the Triple Heaven who is poisoned, it will be very troublesome, a little bad." Shangguan Yi's expression was also a little solemn.
"But it may not be, all poisons must have a solution, as long as there is an antidote, it may be difficult to completely defeat such a poisonous person, but it is still very simple to contain it, and it should be no problem for a qualified triple heaven master to contain three. The cloak of blood pushed the door in and gave a different answer.
"Can you concoct an antidote?" Shangguan Yi was a little surprised.
"Give me a prescription for the poison and a little time and enough materials, yes. The Blood Cloak said proudly.
"Then you just shut up, what we're missing now is time. Shangguan Yi rolled his eyes and said with some disdain.
"What if I say three days is enough?" the Blood Cloak looked at Shangguan Yi and smiled slightly.
"That'...... Let's hurry up and set off to attack that mountain villa, and get the design drawings earlier! Are your friends here? By the way, do you have the design of that mountain villa?" Shangguan Yi shouted with some surprise, as if he couldn't wait to go.
"Plans, no, but I've found its designer, which one do you think is better? The blood cloak continued to tease Shangguan Yi.
"Without further ado, the soldiers are fast, now immediately pack up your things and set off!" Mo Lan patted the table and made this decision.
I don't know why.,The thief who was just about to enter the study slowly typed a??
Shangguan Yi said, "Just pack up your things and come with us." "Too lazy to explain to him.
The group cleaned up a little and drove the carriage to the north, the next target: Ningwang Villa.
