Chapter 62
Xu Xun's good head rolled to the ground, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at the sky blankly, worthy of the name of death.
The white hair on his temples was stained with blood and mud, and he was filthy, and he no longer had the demeanor of a Grandmaster.
Liu Tugou sat on Xu Xun's headless corpse, looked down at the head at his feet, and only felt that he had a splitting headache, and he really wanted to cut it off with a knife to be happy.
A few zhang away from the surroundings, there were still more than 30 Yuncai guards surviving, and Zhang Yuan had been helped up by his subordinates, relying on a long knife to support his body.
Everyone looked at the figure sitting in the ruins of the wall, the iron blue coat had disintegrated at the moment of life and death, and the re-revealed moon-white linen clothes were spotless and incompatible with the rubble everywhere.
The sackcloth boy was bleeding from his eyebrows, drawing a bright blood mark on his face. His eyes were closed, and his brow furrowed slightly, as if he had encountered something difficult to decide.
There was silence for a moment in the field, and Liu Tugou suddenly grinned and said, "Zhang Qi is always a good means, and he brought me and Shen Dagongzi into this mortal killing situation without moving his expression." ”
He pressed Tu Annihilation's cold blade to his cheek, and after a few gentle rubbing, the blood on his face magically disappeared, but his eyes still didn't open.
"You can kill Xu Xun at a young age, you are indeed a rare talent, but you are still a little tender. It's not me who wants you to die, it's Shen Yue!"
Zhang Yuan quietly made a concealed gesture while answering, and the remnants of the Cloud Cavalry Guard saw it and put their hands into the cloth bags around their waists.
"Oh, what do you say?" asked Liu Tugou with his eyes closed.
"Shen Yue has made it clear from the beginning that the purpose of bringing us here is to muddy the waters, and whether Nan Tianzhu and Xu Xun's actions are unexpected sideways or simply within the original plan is all Shen Yue's words. Originally, I didn't think much of it......"
Zhang Yuan looked at the hunting crossbow in the hands of his subordinates, which had been wound again, and said with a smile: "But now it seems that Shen Yue is afraid that Shen Yue and all of us are not of the same mind, so he wants to provoke all parties to fight each other to reap the benefits of the fisherman." If we don't die, we won't be able to take away the treasure with his skills. Regardless of whether he has guessed the identity of Xu Xun's military department's spy, your appearance is enough for him to make a temporary decision to use poisonous tricks such as sowing discord and driving away tigers and wolves, but it's a pity that ......"
"It's a pity what? It's a pity that he didn't guess that Xu Xun would be so decisive and catch him off guard?"
Liu Tugou also laughed, he remembered that Shen Yue asked him to beware of Xu Xun, and sure enough, as Zhang Yuan said, Shen Yue seemed to be reminding Liu Tugou as a guest to remind the deputy envoy, but in fact, it was clearly to provoke the infighting of the Imperial Prison, and even provoke the battle between the Imperial Prison and the military.
As for whether Liu Tugou, who joined in from the halfway, is the secret son of the edict or not, it doesn't really matter, the important thing is that the grandmaster of the Inspiration Realm is enough to influence the final ownership of the Supreme Treasure.
Zhang Yuan took control of the situation again, regained his previous ferocity and composure, and replied, "It's a pity that you, a young grandmaster, are going to die here and now!"
Liu Tugou turned over violently and blocked Xu Xun's corpse in front of him, although he definitely couldn't block the armor-piercing arrow, it was better than nothing.
However, the expected arrow array did not come.
The second master was silent for a moment, then suddenly put aside the corpse in his hand and said with a smile: "In the words of Old Man Chen, the majestic Great Zhou, how many heroes there are!"
Zhang Yuan's eyes were full of anger, but his tone was still steady, and he responded: "Xu Xun is dead, Shen Yue is a cripple who can't play too many tricks, Nan Tianzhu has not shown up so far, no matter which of you and I are alone against Gao Ziyu and that Di Ren, I am afraid that it will end up desolate." For the sake of the present, I am willing to put aside the hatred between the two parties for the time being, and everyone will work together, I don't know what your intention is?"
Liu Tugou smiled and said: "Now that my life is in the hands of President Zhang Qi, how dare I say nothing? ”
Zhang Yuan sneered: "The blood feud of my comrades must be avenged, but Zhang Yuan's military order is in his body, and he will never dare to forget it for a moment." ”
Liu Tugou stood up and said with a smile: "Okay!"
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked behind Zhang Yuan, who also turned around.
There was no one there, Shen Yue had long since disappeared, and his broken leg dragged out a long blood mark, which pointed to the pavilion ten zhang away.
Under the moonlight, the top floor of the seven-story pavilion has been lifted away, and the door is also broken, and the inside is like a deep and unfathomable hole, so quiet that people feel chills in their hearts.
It was still the bluestone corridor located underground, and Gao Ziyu was able to walk without hindrance, but his face was still weak and pale.
His figure was sluggish, and he suddenly sighed and said, "Senior brother, Xu Xun is dead?"
Helan Changchun didn't stop, nodded when he heard the words, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "If my spiritual sense is correct, Xu Xun is really dead, and the inspiration is only out, and the blink of an eye is disillusioned, which is really terrifying! I fought with him for a short time, and I asked myself that I couldn't take him in such a short time." Except for his inspiration aura and another unfamiliar sword aura, I didn't feel the aura of other masters. ”
"Sure enough, my foundation is unstable, and now I have no spiritual energy when I go to the building, and I don't even feel it. ”
Gao Ziyu showed a surprised expression on his face, and then said with relief: "I thought it was Xu Xun's reinforcements before, I'm afraid he himself thinks so, the power of the military array cannot be underestimated, and there is a grandmaster in the middle, if there is a sudden outbreak, it is not impossible." ”
Helan Changchun obviously felt the same way, nodded and said: "So Senior Brother advises you not to limit your eyes to the rivers and lakes, what about the great grandmaster like the master who is a great master with the power of one enemy and ten thousand, it is not that he has many scruples, it depends on the face of the Great Zhou court and the grassland king's account? Otherwise, he will not find a way to send you to prison." ”
Gao Ziyu didn't have the courage to talk about his teacher behind his back, and said embarrassedly: "After today, I can't go back to the edict, but it is exactly what I want, and the ethereal realm of heaven and man is what my heart wants." ”
Helan Changchun sneered: "It turns out that you also know that it is ethereal. ”
He suddenly stopped, turned around, and said, "You've been eavesdropping for so long, you should show up and say a few words, right? ”
Shen Yue staggered around the corner not far behind the two, holding a crimson painted wooden stick in his hand, clearly removed from a standing flower stand.
His right leg was broken at the knee, the cut was simply bandaged with a cloth, and it was soaked in blood.
Gao Ziyu was surprised and said: "It's not unusual for Shen Keqing to be so embarrassed, it's strange that you can survive." ”
Shen Yue smiled bitterly: "There is no need to fight now, Xu Xun is a member of the military department, most of them are powerful people from the Ministry of Staff, and there are dozens of cloud cavalry guards outside, and the young man in Mai who joined halfway calls himself the deputy envoy of the Imperial Prison, and now he is afraid that he is dead." ”
He said the truth, but he didn't mention the armor-piercing crossbow arrow.
Gao Ziyu smiled when he heard this: "It's really interesting, the main envoy and the deputy envoy are all meticulous, no wonder you want to hide another deputy envoy in the prisoner, when has this edict been infiltrated into a sieve?"
Helan Changchun stared at Shen Yue: "You want to ask us to protect you?"
Shen Yue shook his head and replied, "It's not shelter, it's cooperation!"
"Why?"
"Just because Nan Tianzhu and I know the reality of this place, just because we are Ao Xiang's people!"
