Chapter 89: Knife and Fish

"Shocking ...... Rain Map?"

Liu Xunyi looked at the black bamboo tube in his hand with shocked eyes, this bamboo tube was exactly the same as the one he handed over to Tang Afu. And the most puzzling thing for him is that at this moment, Tang Afu's bamboo tube also contains a "shocking wind and rain map".

If the picture that Xun Qin is giving him now is the real picture of the storm, then what is in Tang Afu's hand?

"This ......" Liu Xunyi was full of doubts in his heart, but he didn't know where to ask for a while.

"You just need to tell the Lord of Luofu that this picture is a gift from Ren Wuya to the King of Shaoqin, and I believe that the Lord of Luofu will understand its weight. Xun Qin said, "This picture is the Jinlin Banner Lord Ding Ao was ordered by the palace master to personally hand it over to me, and now I will hand it over to you again, I hope you can also hand it over to the Lord of Luofu with your own hands." Xun Qin's words were quite sincere, and there was no hint of banter between his eyebrows.

"So...... Is this the real picture of the wind and rain?" Liu Xunyi said in surprise, "Then the one that Cao Qin took out in Ye Zilin today ......"

"Nature is fake. Xun Qin smiled lightly, "Ye Zilin's bloody battle is just a scene, I sent someone to coerce Cao Rui to come here and change pictures with Cao Qin face to face, in fact, I didn't expect them to leave alive from the beginning." As for this, Xun Qin couldn't help but feel a little sentimental, after all, those who died were all loyal to her.

But there are some things that he can't tell Liu Xunyi, so Xun Qin can only suppress the sighs in his heart and pretend to be cold-blooded who treats human life like a mustard.

"No wonder you didn't show up. Liu Xunyi nodded thoughtfully, "It turns out that you have colluded from the beginning and deliberately used a fake picture as a bait, but what is your purpose?" Liu Xunyi asked puzzledly, "Didn't Cao Qin want to deal with the robbers who kidnapped his son? Did you know from the beginning that Tang Afu and I also coveted this picture, so you set up a game to lure us into being fooled?"

For this kind of speculation, Liu Xunyi himself felt full of flaws, and shook his head again and again: "No, no, even if you prepare a fake picture in advance to prevent accidents, then there is no need to sacrifice so many people? Your subordinates plus the disciples of the Jade Tiger Hall are more than a hundred lives, I don't think it is worth paying such a big price for either Tang Afu or me, right?"

Xun Qin waved his hand impatiently and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you just need to know that this picture is genuine." ”

"In that case, then why did you give this picture to the Lord of Luofu?" Liu Xunyi asked subconsciously.

"Because King Shaoqin wants to make friends with the Lord of Luofu sincerely. Xun Qin Zhengse said, "If you are making friends, you must show enough sincerity, the king of Shaoqin knows that the lord of Luofu has been in love with the wind and rain for a long time, so he took it as a meeting gift and expressed his affection. ”

Liu Xunyi's brows furrowed slightly, and he was about to open his mouth, but Xun Qin's face sank, and he said coldly: "How many questions do you have?"

Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and smiled: "The last two! First, who is the Shaoqin King in your mouth? I think he should be your master, right?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Xun Qin snorted coldly, "Regarding the matter of the King of Shaoqin, you can go back and ask the Lord of Luofu, I have nothing to say." ”

"That second. Liu Xunyi still didn't give up after hitting the wall, and asked again, "Why did you ask me to send the picture? Aren't you afraid that I will keep this picture private?"

Xun Qin smiled mysteriously, shook his head and said: "First, I have just tried your personality, and the 'clear grievances' you insist on are enough to prove that you are a person who believes in your word, since you have come here to find a map on the order of King Beixian, then I also believe that you will definitely bring this picture to him." Second, whether it is the King of Shaoqin or the King of Beixian, they are both powerful parties that you cannot provoke, if you dare to hide their things privately, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, the result will be certain death. You are not a fool, you should understand the truth that you can't chew too much. Third, in addition to your identity as a disciple of the Xianwang Mansion, you also have another ulterior true identity. And there must be a huge conspiracy between these two identities. As I expected, your true purpose...... Far from a picture of wind and rain. Lord Liu, I don't know if I'm right?"

Every time Liu Xunyi heard Xun Qin call himself "Lord Liu", his heart would shrink, for fear that the matter would be publicized.

"I see. Although Liu Xunyi had a lot of confusion in his heart, compared to his curiosity, he was even more reluctant to continue to face the scheming Xun Qin at this moment, so he hurriedly put the black bamboo tube into his sleeve, and then looked around at the Western Regions swordsman who was eyeing him left and right, and asked tentatively, "That...... Can I go?"

"Of course. Xun Qin smiled slightly, waved his hand and ordered everyone to make a passage for Liu Xunyi, and did not forget to greet him before leaving, "Take care all the way, Liu Shaoxia!"

Liu Xunyi saw Xun Qin's charming smile, but he felt a chill in his heart. After taking a deep look at her again, Liu Xunyi strode away from the leaf forest without looking back, disappearing at the end of the moonlit night.

"Just let him go?" Abaolu looked at the direction where Liu Xunyi was going, and asked unwillingly, "Do you really believe him?"

"Killing him now won't do us any good. Xun Qin smiled, "On the contrary, keeping him will be of great benefit to us in the future." The secret of Liu Xunyi's body is now only known to us, and maybe one day, he will become a killer move for us, so I didn't reveal the matter about him and the Great Song Dynasty to Ding San and the Jade Dragon Palace. ”

"Natu ......"

"We used a picture to exchange friendship with Luo Tianjin, it's worth it. Xun Qin smiled faintly, "Ren Wuya wants to kill two birds with one stone, and while forming an alliance with us, he also does not forget to curry favor with Jin Jianwu." Then we can also learn from this scheming palace master, who can't hang himself from a tree in the Jade Dragon Palace. King Beixian has deep roots in the martial arts tree in the Central Plains, far from being comparable to pagan religions such as the Jade Dragon Palace in the Tianshan Mountains, if we can rely on the big tree of Luo Tianjin, then we will do anything in the future, and we will definitely be like a tiger with wings, and we will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Looking at Abaolu, who was meditating hard, Xun Qinwan smiled and said softly: "More importantly, everything that happened today, Liu Xunyi is clear, and when he sees Luo Tianjin, he must tell the truth." So no matter what the facts are, in front of Luo Tianjin, we are the most sincere 'honest people'. Even if there is any 'accident', it will be Ren Wuya, the old fox, who is the obstruction of it, and Luo Tianjin will never blame us. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Abaolu's puzzled eyes suddenly flashed with a look of sudden realization, and he arched his hand towards Xun Qin with admiration: "The eldest lady is strategizing, and she is really a god operator. Compared with you, that Song Yu is simply a waste of fame, and he can't even distinguish between the real and fake pictures, and he is a waste. I, Abaoru, have thrown myself to the ground for the five bodies that you admire!"

"It's useless to talk too much, let's get out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, so as not to change later. Xun Qin Zhengse said, and then she looked back at the Jade Dragon Palace looming on the top of the Tianshan Mountain, her beautiful eyes were full of light, and she whispered as if talking to herself: "I have long said that from childhood to adulthood, only I am at the mercy of others, and no one can play with me." Except for the time when Yanmen Guan was planted in Liu Xunyi's hands, no one will be able to calculate me in the future......"

After saying that, the corners of Xun Qin's mouth suddenly raised a sly smile, and then led people in the opposite direction to the Jade Dragon Palace.

......

As the hour passed, a sneaky figure suddenly flashed outside the Ethereal Pavilion of the Jade Dragon Palace.

After a while, a cautious and deep voice suddenly came from outside the pavilion: "Palace Master, Cao Qin asks to see!"

"Squeak!"

Before Cao Qin's words fell, the door of the Ethereal Pavilion had opened a crack without warning, Cao Qin carefully glanced left and right, and then quickly walked into the pavilion.

"Palace Master. Cao Qin came to the outside of the white gauze and knelt on the ground respectfully.

"You're here. Ren Wuya's angry and arrogant voice sounded from the cabinet, "Did you bring something?"

Cao Qin obeyed the orders of the palace master and did not dare to slack off. As he spoke, Cao Qin carefully groped out a red bamboo tube from his sleeve and presented his hands outside the white gauze curtain, "Long before the villain went to Quanzhou, the palace master specially explained that the real frightening rain map is temporarily stored in my hand, and I will find the opportunity after the Jade Dragon Festival...... Individually...... Present it to the palace master alone!"

"Clever!" Ren Wuya's tone sounded quite satisfied, and he said approvingly, "I really didn't see the wrong person. ”

"It's all the palace master's teaching on weekdays!" Cao Qin nodded again and again, "In order to smoothly hand over the wind and rain map to the palace master, the villain specially prepared four pictures. Three of the fakes were placed in a black bamboo tube, and the authentic works were placed in a red bamboo tube. The ones that Tang Afu snatched, Song Yu took away, and the palace master asked the villain to hand over to Ding Sanye in person, were all black bamboo tubes with fakes. Just because the villain always remembers the order of the palace master, he will never take out the real work until he meets alone. ”

"Okay!" Ren Wuya smiled lightly, "You did a good job this time." I heard Ding San say, your son was kidnapped, you would rather give up your precious son's life, you have to swear to the death to save the stormy map, I have seen this kind of brave loyalty, and now you have successfully deceived the Valley of Despair, Jin Jianwu and the King of Shaoqin, it can be said that you kill three birds with one stone, and you have made great contributions. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! Thanks to the palace master's cultivation grace for many years!" Cao Qin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "My son is certainly precious to me, but the life of the palace master is more important to me than my life, even if Rui'er dies, I will never dare to live up to the trust of the palace master." ”

"I made Cao Rui suffer this time, and I will try to compensate him in the future, and I will not let him lose a hand in vain. Ren Wuya said softly.

"Thank you Palace Master! Thank you Palace Master!" As soon as he heard that Ren Wuya was going to cultivate Cao Rui himself, Cao Qin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and almost got carried away. After his mood calmed down a little, he tentatively asked, "It's just ...... The palace master concealed this matter from the three flag masters in a row, and the villain always felt that ......"

"If you don't hide it from them, how can they make the play realistic?" Ren Wuya said with a smile, "Hu Yanba and Dong Xiao'er thought that the picture you gave Song Yu was the real thing, so I asked them to discuss the alliance with Jin Jianwu. And I asked Ding San to send another fake you hid to Xun Qin, the purpose is also to let him be confident enough in front of Xun Qin, and even righteous Ling Ran, so as to win the trust of the King of Shao Qin in the Jade Dragon Palace. ”

"But if they go back and find out that the picture is fake, then ......"

"Even if they find out that it is fake, they will never blame the head of the Jade Dragon Palace, because they all know that the Storm and Rain Map has never passed through the hands of the old man, and I don't know anything about everything, even if I find out that the Picture is fake, I will only ......" Ren Wuya's tone suddenly froze, and under Cao Qin's nervous gaze, he was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, "I will only think that you Cao Qin made a mistake, and there was a problem with the Wind and Rain Map in your hands, and it has nothing to do with the Jade Dragon Palace." What I want to give them is sincerity, as long as there is sincerity, it is considered to be a favor, as long as they inherit this favor, it is enough for the old man. Therefore, even if they suffered a dumb loss, they had swallowed their stomachs at the moment they received the picture, and they couldn't vomit if they wanted to. Merely...... I'm going to grieve you somewhat. ”

Cao Qin's heart was shocked when he heard this, his eyes were full of shock, and he couldn't wake up for a long time.

At the last moment, Cao Qin thought that he had really made immortal contributions to the Jade Dragon Palace, but after the truth came out, he became Ren Wuyan's scapegoat. Ren Wuya got the benefits of killing three birds with one stone, but he had to bear all the consequences for Ren Wuya.

"You don't have to worry too much, the storm is true and false, false and true, how many people in the rivers and lakes can tell the difference?" Ren Wuya said lightly, "Even the three banner masters of the Jade Dragon Palace have been kept in the dark about this matter, and now the truth is only known by God, you know and I know." As long as you don't admit it to death, then Jin Jianwu and King Shaoqin can't wrongfully accuse us of fakes out of thin air. They are all smart people, and even if they see that the fake is not genuine one day, they will never come to trouble my Jade Dragon Palace for this. ”

"Palace master rest assured, Cao Qin will not leak half a sentence in this matter even if he dies!" Cao Qin is not a fool, of course he knows the stakes. At present, he was even more frightened in a cold sweat, and hurriedly swore to the sky, "I will take this matter all the way to the coffin and never divulge half a sentence." ”

"I believe in you. Ren Wuya replied with a smile, "I believe you will definitely bring this matter into the coffin......"

"Bang!"

Before Ren Wuya's words fell, an incomparably powerful energy suddenly shot out from the cabinet, and before Cao Qin could react, his chest suddenly sank, and then the clothes in his heart were torn instantly. This energy instantly penetrated Cao Qin's body, shaking his internal organs into a puddle of mud, and the muscles and bones of his whole body were also shattered.

Cao Qin's body was not torn apart because of this, even if he fell to the ground without blinking, his body remained intact, all thanks to the green silk armor he wore closely.

"Whoosh!"

A gentle force swept past Cao Qin's corpse, rolling the red bamboo tube into the white veil.

In the outer pavilion, Cao Qin stared at a pair of eyes full of surprise and unwillingness, his chest became more and more shriveled with the exhalation, and the flesh and blood mixed with the fragments of organs and bones slowly flowed out from under him. In a short time, the entire Ethereal Pavilion was shrouded in a pungent and unpleasant smell of blood.

The eerie atmosphere, the terrifying ethereal pavilion, only the sound of excited gasps came from the white veil. In addition, the entire ethereal pavilion is as quiet as a dead building.

"This ...... That's impossible...... It's just too deceitful!"

I don't know how long it took, there was a sudden roar of anger in the cabinet, followed by a loud "bang", and the red bamboo tube was smashed to the ground by Ren Wuya, rolling down the lower edge of the white yarn to Cao Qin's corpse, and what was thrown out with it was a torn and fragmented "Shocking Wind and Rain Map".

The reason why Ren Wuya was so angry was because ...... The frightening rain picture in the red bamboo tube is also fake!

......
