Volume 3 Dragon Rank Candle Chapter 74 Night Talk
Before the door was halfway open, Hu Buxi had already swept out like a gust of wind, standing still in the small courtyard, his knife unsheathed.
Zhao Wu'an was not in a hurry, but slowly followed. He has always been relieved that Annan does not have martial arts no matter how he looks at it, and he will not pose a threat to Hu Buxi.
During the time he walked to the courtyard, he carefully sorted out what happened when he met Annan twice, but he couldn't connect him with Lan Zhouzi in any way.
Whether it is the diligent fast boatman who is hospitable in Bailongjinbian, Jiangning Prefecture, or the businessman who still treats people politely in Bianliang City, Annan behaves extremely normal, not like he has some ulterior motives.
Zhao Wu'an suddenly had a strange feeling, as if Annan could be anyone, but not Lan Zhouzi.
The door of the small courtyard opened inward, and Zhao Wu'an and Hu Buxi stood by the door and the other stood in the courtyard, waiting for the person to appear.
Footsteps sounded, and Annan appeared at the door, carrying a red dress familiar to Zhao Wu'an.
Zhao Wu'an's eyes widened suddenly, and he took a step forward, and a sword roared behind him.
"Don't worry, she just fell asleep. Annan hurriedly raised his hand and lowered his voice.
Zhao Wu'an frowned, and Hu Buxi also looked at it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, boss, An Wazi is fine." ”
Through the sparse moonlight, An Qing could be vaguely seen lying on Annan's back, and her back rose and fell evenly in a regular manner.
"I told you earlier, don't worry. Annan also paced to the stone table, put An Qing off his back, helped him to the chair, and carefully took out a small pillow from his bag, put it on the table in front of her, and slowly put An Qing down, then straightened up and let out a long breath.
"I know, Zhao Jushi, you have a lot to say to me, but this girl shouldn't hear it, right? ”
"You drugged An Qing?!" Zhao Wu'an's face turned pale.
"You can't talk like that!" Annan looked innocent, "I'm still her brother anyway, even if I have some sweat medicine...... Isn't that a beast if you shoot at your own sister?"
Zhao Wu'an didn't know how to say yes for a while, Hu Buxi patted the knife in his hand, and said sharply: "What's wrong with my sister? You kid is not a good person at first glance!"
In front of the two first-class masters, Annan was still a little afraid, and said: "That being said, I still have a bit of a shameful heart, and those well-dressed beasts...... It's not the same. ”
Hu Buxi and Zhao Wu'an glanced at each other, with doubts in their eyes. Annan knew that there were two first-class masters guarding here, and he came to the door with An Qing, who was unconscious, on his back, it really didn't look like he had a ghost in his heart.
That being said, there must still be something strange about Annan. The scene where he drove the boat away and never returned, Zhao Wu'an saw it with his own eyes.
"Are you Lan Zhouzi?" asked Zhao Wu'an straight to the point.
"Sort of. That's just one of my many identities. However, the most important identity is Annan, the second son of the An family in Qingdi Township. ”
Annan sat down on the table next to An Qing, and as soon as he sat down, he saw Hu and Zhao still standing, and he was uneasy for a while. After Hu Buxi and Zhao Wuan were all seated, they returned to their normal expressions.
Three men and one woman sat around the table, except for An Qing, who was sleeping heavily, each other had their own thoughts, which was also very strange.
"Why did you kidnap Duan Taoli at that time?" Zhao Wu'an asked, "You still have the courage to appear in front of me at this time, I have to say, you gambled a lot." ”
Annan scratched his ears and cheeks and said, "Then I am now using the identity of the second son of the An family to talk to you, after all, Qing'er is also on the side...... Well, the matter of Duan Taoli, it is true that she is the main purpose for me to take you to sea, as for the dispute between Duan Hunttian and Luo Yige, it is just a coincidence. I didn't think much of it at first, but as it turned out, the plan didn't change and I met my expectations. ”
"Can you admit so openly that you kidnapped Duan Taoli?" Zhao Wu'an laughed angrily.
"That's what it is, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. What's more, the kidnapping of Duan Taoli was only the first part of the plan, and later there were changes, and this plan was actually impossible to succeed. After all, even we didn't expect to meet Dailou Duyun on the border of Valan. ”
Zhao Wu'an was stunned: "You met Dailou Duyun?"
"I met with Chu Ting. I'm lucky, I don't have martial arts, Dailou Duyun didn't bother to kill me, Chu Ting was killed by him with a palm, and Duan Taoli should have also been rescued. Annan said with a wry smile, "You don't really think that my ship can't withstand the wind and waves at sea, do you? In fact, it was destroyed by the twilight clouds of Dailou, and I had no way to retreat, so I could only choose a small road back to the Central Plains, and then I came to Bianliang." ”
"What are you doing in Bianliang?"
"The hall master has an order, of course he has to come. Annan said as a matter of course.
Zhao Wu'an was taken aback: "Hall Master, are you a person from the Greedy Demon Palace?"
Annan smiled bitterly: "Yes, is it possible that Zhao Jushi, who is as smart as Zhao Jushi, has not been able to see the armory until now, is it just a bitter trick that I played with a bad boy? ”
Of course Zhao Wu'an guessed. The moment Annan sailed away from the coast of Fuzhou, he vaguely guessed this layer. It's just that it hasn't been known for sure.
He couldn't believe that the second son of the An family in Qingdi Township, An Qing's elder brother, would have something to do with the Greedy Demon Hall far away in Xiliang.
Seeing that Zhao Wu'an was speechless, Annan smiled and said, "I know that people will always have a sense of protection for those close to them, even if it is not the original intention, they will intuitively find it difficult to accept. ”
Zhao Wu'an was silent, and Hu Buxi sneered: "My boss, I am close to you, you can save some snacks!"
Annan disagreed: "Although I don't have much contact with Zhao Jushi, Qing'er has almost no secrets to Zhao Jushi. The illusion is to be expected. ”
His voice was warm and full, and although he revealed the identity of the Greedy Demon Hall in front of Hu Buxi and Zhao Wu'an, he did not see a trace of panic.
The three of them were silent for a moment, leaving only An Qing's long breathing echoing in the silent courtyard.
"Why?" asked Zhao Wu'an suspiciously.
He was genuinely confused. The young man who grew up in Qingdi Township, left home to work hard since he was a child, even if he experienced the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes, it was difficult to maintain a heart, and he should not have such a city government in just 20 years.
In front of Annan, even Zhao Wu'an felt that he was transparent and couldn't hide anything.
Because Annan, who looks clean and transparent at first glance, really hides too many things that he didn't expect.
"You don't have to come up with an answer. Annan said slowly, "I have many identities, a fisherman in Jiangning, a smuggler in Fuzhou, Lan Zhouzi on the sea, one of the three kings of the Greedy Demon Palace, and so on." But if Zhao Jushi is willing to believe that I am Annan from Qingdi Township, then I am Annan from Qingdi Township, and other than that, no one is anyone. ”
"I can't do that. Zhao Wu'an denied expressionlessly.
Annan smiled bitterly: "This is difficult...... How do you want me to explain that? Before Duan Taoli, I still have to explain why we entered this Bianliang City today?"
"The Greedy Demon Hall wants to revive Western Xia, and it has been working hard for this many years ago, but because it has no perfect plan, it was classified as a Jianghu Demon Sect by the imperial court, and it was driven out of the Song Realm and left to fend for itself. Unexpectedly, the Greedy Demon Hall grew up in Xiliang and recently re-entered the Central Plains. Zhao Wu'an said, "I don't understand, they were wandering around before, what they wanted to do, and they didn't react until today, they were just waiting for an opportunity to directly attack Huanglong." ”
"Zhao Jushi still knows a lot. Annan nodded.
"But why are you in the Demon Greed Palace?" Zhao Wu'an quickly asked.
Hu Buxi thrust the knife into the stone table, and added in a cold voice: "Why did you become one of the three kings of the Greedy Demon Palace?"
Annan thought for a while and said, "Actually, the answers to these two questions are the same. ”
The two awaited Annan's next step.
Annan's eyes suddenly flickered, and he said as if he remembered something: "The two of you should know about the Black Cloud Society, right? Do you know that there is a person named Wen Chuanyu who has recently been mixed in inside?"
Hu Buxi glanced at Zhao Wu'an, and saw a terrifying death aura quickly emerging in Zhao Wu'an's eyes.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Zhao Wu'an word by word.
"Oh, it seems that Zhao Jushi knows this person. Annan said happily, "Actually, the three kings of the Greedy Demon Palace, who were originally "Night Wishing King Kong", and the Zhu King among them has always been Wen Chuanyu. I've only recently taken on the burden. I still have a lot of qualifications, and I can't figure out a lot of things. ”
Zhao Wu'an frowned keenly: "Wen Chuanyu...... He should be near Bianliang by now. ”
In the Qincheng Inn, in order to steal the list of Luo Yige, Wen Chuanyu specially led him out, and that was the last time they met. Since Wen Chuanyu has a connection with the Greedy Demon Palace, he should not stay away at this time.
"This ...... Probably, in fact, since Wen Chuanyu left, there have been many voices of dissatisfaction in the hall. Although I wish the king, I am worthy of the name, just a Tujili thing, and it is of no great use, otherwise I would have gone into battle with the other two. I can't help it. Annan said helplessly.
"In that case, then what are you doing in Bianliang?" Zhao Wu'an was puzzled.
Annan smiled and said: "Although I can't go into battle, but the hall master's orders, Annan can complete it." I would like to advise you in advance, this matter has nothing to do with you anymore, and it doesn't hurt for Zhao Jushi to go out overnight tonight. If the Great Song Dynasty falls, the world will not necessarily be in chaos. It's time to change your name. ”
Hu Zhao and the others were shocked at the same time.
"You still want to overthrow the Great Song Dynasty?"
"It's better to say, I'm curious, Zhao Jushi, you obviously suffer from it, why do you still defend it with death. It stands to reason that based on your experience, you should have realized that there is no black and white in this world. ”
Annan stood up slowly, a night wind blew in the small courtyard, and the summer night was slightly cool.
"100,000 catties of gunpowder have been mixed into every brick and tile of this city, and even the Zichen Hall is also included. As long as I give an order, this city, which is as old as the Great Song Dynasty, will be wiped out. ”
Under the moonlight, Annan smiled coldly, just like Shura.
"Zhao Jushi, while it's still time, run quickly. ”
