Chapter 70: Complicity
In the city of Nanyang County, the rows of dwellings are scattered, the alleys are deep and the roads are long, and the grain shops, cloth shops, and oil mills on both sides of the street are lined up in turn, as if it is a prosperous place in this troubled world.
In the past few days, the number of people in the rivers and lakes who have come and gone in Nanyang County has increased significantly, but the city defense has not sent more people because of this, and the past travel inventory is not very strict.
It was the height of summer, and although Nanyang City was already covered with twilight clouds, the air was still extremely dull. The heavy dark clouds pressed Nanyang City under him like a steel plate, and there was no cool breeze at all. From time to time, a dazzling lightning bolt crossed the sky, thunder rumbled, and the summer cicadas in the pine forest greeted the arrival of the rainstorm with a mournful chirp.
In a prosperous place in the west of the city, it is full of bright lights and melodious silk and bamboo, which is incompatible with the dreary and oppressive weather, which is exactly where the mansion of Zhen Fu, the former team doctor of Nanyang, is located.
The courtyard wall of the mansion is towering, the pavilions in the courtyard are scattered, the red bricks and blue tiles, and the regulation is magnificent. On both sides of the vermilion lacquer gate facing the street, there is a mighty white marble marble lion. A group of officers and soldiers walked in front of the stone lion with Chang Ge in hand, and their footwork was calm, no different from usual.
Bai Ruxue, Zhong Zhengxiong and Jia Fu pretended to be business travelers, sitting on the second floor of a restaurant not far from Zhen Fu's mansion, looking out of the window in the direction of Zhen Fu's mansion intentionally or unintentionally.
Jia Fu has received news from the Nanyang rudder of the Qinglong Gang, after Cui Fa and his son entered Nanyang City, they have been cowering in Zhenfu's mansion, and the famous doctors in Nanyang City have been invited to the mansion to treat Cui Zishan's injuries.
In the restaurant, diners gather in groups of three or five, drinking sullen wine uncertainly, each pregnant with ghosts.
A bolt of lightning fell, and a piece of cold light was reflected on the roof of Zhen Fu's majestic mansion.
The three of them looked at each other, if it weren't for the lightning flashback, I am afraid that Zhen Fu Mansion would have laid a net of heaven and earth a long time ago, waiting for the bold and reckless high-rollers to throw themselves into the net.
A man near the table and by the window hurriedly took out a bronze mirror, and took a few photos out of the light casually, and a man on the opposite street quickly turned around and hurried away.
A man carrying a burden walked through Zhenfu Mansion briskly, peeking into the mansion sideways, looking at the footwork, it was by no means an ordinary man.
On the tall canopy of a locust tree not far from the restaurant, several black figures quickly slid down and quietly left in the lightning and thunder.
Bai Ruxue lightly tapped her fingers on the table, and said meaningfully: "This ghost weather is so panicked that it makes people uncomfortable. Look at these small fish and shrimp standing in front of the station, all of them have surfaced, I'm afraid a storm is coming. ”
Zhong Zhengxiong said with a smile: "The big fish and prawns are hidden in the dark, and no one dares to come out first." ”
Jia Fu said: "Zhenfu's official residence looks no different from peacetime, but I'm afraid that heavy troops have been deployed, and big fish and prawns don't dare to move." ”
Bai Ruxue nodded and said, "Everyone is waiting to see if anyone has muddied the water first." ”
Another flash of lightning flashed, and outside Zhen Fu's mansion, a slender figure suddenly flashed and disappeared into the canopy of a tall locust tree in the dark.
The woman was dressed in a black power suit, with a willow waist and a bright yellow scarf covering her face. On the face towel, two willow eyebrows are like daisies, and a pair of eyes are crystal clear.
This woman is none other than the Guanxuan girl who passed by Fu Qingyun in Wudang County, and Fu Qingyun misses day and night.
Xuan Xuan crouched in the canopy of the locust tree, looking through the hidden window in the living room of the mansion.
In the extravagant living room of the official residence, the lights are flickering and staggered. On a mahogany round table, Zhen Fu, the doctor of the Nanyang front team, sat on the main seat, Cui Fa, Cui Zishan and his son sat on the right side, and two women sat on the left side, who was the demon envoy Li Yuluo sent by the "Li family" on the magic island and known as the Jade Lady, and the other woman was Yang Junru, a disciple of the Phoenix Valley.
I only heard Cui Fa say: "The Jade Lady came here today, also for the 'Great Demon King Sutra', right?"
The Jade Lady laughed coquettishly: "The sect leader said that he was laughing. I, Li Yuluo, am a weak woman, how dare I think of such a thing. ”
"The Jade Lady is modest. Cui Fa laughed and said: "However, the 'Great Demon King Sutra' is the holy book of the Demon Sect after all, and I can't keep it." The ancestors of the nobles have already agreed with me that when the nobles win the throne of the God King Palace, I will present the Demon Sutra with both hands. ”
Xuan Xuan was shocked when he heard this, the Li clan of the Heart Dao Demon Island had already known that the Demon Sutra had fallen into the hands of Cui Fa, and they were willing to fall into the same stream as the Golden Crow Cult, trying to usurp the throne of the God King Palace.
The Jade Lady said: "Before the slave family left the island, they had been instructed by the ancestors, so they naturally trusted the sect leader. The slave family took the liberty of paying homage this time, but it was to remind the sect leader to be careful of the cheap slave sent by the royal family. ”
"Who did the royal family send out of the island this time?" asked Cui Fa.
The Jade Lady said: "It is the only queen of the source of the emperor. Although this slave's martial arts are not as good as the source of the emperor, he is cunning and resourceful, and I am afraid that he is not as easy to deal with as the source of the emperor. ”
Xuan Xuan was shocked when he heard this, and wondered if his father's death was related to the Jinwu Sect and the Li family. Xuan Xuan took a deep breath and listened with bated breath.
Cui Fa laughed and said: "A girl who has not dried up, I Cui Fa still doesn't pay attention to it." The only person the old man is afraid of, and that is Huang Tianji!"
"This sect leader can rest assured. The Jade Lady said with a smile: "Huang Tianji has occupied the throne of the God King Hall for decades, and the Demon Island Royal and the Li family have long been on the same footing. Although my Li family surrendered to him on the surface of Huang Tianji's obscenity, the ancestor of my Li family was not a vegetarian, how could Huang Tianji dare to leave the magic island without permission. ”
At the table, Cui Fa and Yu Niangzi said one-on-one, Zhen Fu and the other three listened quietly, not daring to interject.
The Jade Lady said again: "As long as Huang Tianji can't find the Demon Sutra one day, its legitimacy will not be recognized by the 500,000 people of the Demon Island, and my Li family will still have a chance." ”
"That's very good!" Cui Fa said with relief: "With the Li family to contain Huang Tianji, I can let go and help His Majesty pacify the sea." At that time, I will abide by the agreement with the noble ancestors, send troops to the Demon Island, and help the Li family seize the throne of the God King Palace. Then the Demon Sutra was presented to show the orthodoxy of the Li family. ”
The Jade Lady was overjoyed: "I wish the sect leader to complete the great cause as soon as possible, and my Li family is waiting for the sect leader on the magic island." ”
Cui Fa laughed loudly, turned to Zhen Fu and said, "Lord Zhen, how is the situation outside now?"
Zhen Fu hurriedly replied: "My lord, there have been a lot of fresh faces in the city in the past few days, and almost all of them are from the rivers and lakes. ”
"Okay, just let them in. Cui Fa nodded and said: "The imperial court and the rivers and lakes martial arts have always been well water and do not violate river water, as long as the people in the martial arts do not know how to violate the laws of the imperial court, the imperial court will turn a blind eye." If there is a sect that does not have long eyes and dares to snatch food, I will let him know the power of the Iron Horse Regiment. ”
"Daddy, it's better to be careful. Now that the whereabouts of the 'Great Demon King Sutra' have been revealed to the world, the eight major sects of the Righteous Dao Alliance are controlled by the imperial court and dare not blatantly rob them, but the demon gate is far away in a remote place, but they are not afraid of the power of the imperial court. There are also some high-rollers and outlaws who fish in troubled waters, and they have to be guarded against. Cui Zishan persuaded. He was pale and short of breath, and it was clear that his injuries were not minor and had not yet healed.
Zhen Fu said: "Son, please rest assured, his subordinates have already laid a net, if there is a young man who dares to show his head, he is allowed to go and have no return." ”
Cui Fa sneered: "Back then, the Miaoling Gate harbored the source of the emperor, although it was far away in the land of poor mountains and bad waters, it was not the same as the whole door was destroyed. ”
Xuan Xuan's heart was cold, his father's last letter said that he had found clues to the ancestral relics, but he was trapped by the wicked and seriously injured, but fortunately he was rescued by Wushan Miaolingmen. After leaving the island, he went to Miaolingmen to investigate, but Miaolingmen had been razed to the ground, which turned out to be a good thing done by the Jinwu Sect.
The Jade Lady said with a smile: "Huang Zhiyuan thought that he would be safe and sound when he hid in Miaolingmen, but he didn't know that the letter was intercepted by my Li family, exposing his hiding place." ”
Hearing this, Xuan Xuan's heart was like a knife, and he held back the anger in his heart and continued to listen.
Cui Fa smiled and said, "Thanks to your Li family's flying pigeon biography, we learned where the source of the emperor is hiding. Speaking of which, Huang Zhiyuan is also a generation of heroes, with excellent martial arts, if it weren't for Lord Zhen personally leading the Nanyang soldiers and horses to help me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to wipe out this group of demons. ”
"It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, it turns out that the wicked people who killed my father are all inside. Xuan Xuan's heart trembled, and his breath was slightly chaotic.
"Who!" A wine glass flew out of Cui Fa's hand, and the person shot out of the window like an arrow, and pounced on the big locust tree where Xuan Xuan was hiding.
