203, the old department
On the second day of the Underworld Ceremony, Chang'an Street was still prosperous and peaceful, and the knights of the rivers and lakes who attended the meeting had already begun to leave after participating in the grand ceremony and receiving the blessings of the King of Wind and Cloud. The elixir in their hands was given by the King of Fengyun, although they were not afraid that the major forces would take the risk to snatch the medicine, but they did not dare to hold it up, and the first thing was to send people to send the news back to the sect forces to which they belonged, and strive to send more people to escort the elixir back. After all, the elixir that can increase their strength and prolong their longevity will be a great guarantee for their power, so they naturally dare not lose, not to mention that they are not afraid of 10,000, they are afraid of what happens, if they really encounter some outlaws who are not afraid of offending the majesty of the King of the Wind and Cloud to snatch it, there is also some guarantee.
This kind of action is indeed a bit of a fuss compared to the three major forces that have also obtained the elixir. Although in the eyes of the outside world, the three major forces have indeed not made half a move.
And so, another few days passed.
Wang Jianzhou's mansion.
At this time, a solemn and cautious atmosphere has enveloped the living room. After serving fragrant tea to the guests, the servants of the house were dismissed by Wang Jianzhou himself, and declared that they should not be within ten feet of the living room before the guests left the house. And you are the master of the house, and when Wang Jianzhou, who is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, brought the "distinguished guest" to the living room, he did not dare to make a mistake, and also withdrew from the living room.
Now on the main seat of the living room, the "Wind Howling Ridge", which has been a guest for many days, is sitting on it.
On the two seats below the main seat, one of them is sitting Xiao Jing, the heir of the Fengyun King, who has been hotly discussed recently, and the person sitting on the other chair is full of snow-white hair, his face is cold, and his appearance is extremely similar to the lady of the Fengyun King, which is the demon body of Jiutian.
And the seat further down is the Supreme Elder who belongs to the Sea of Blood, Li Changhe.
He is the "honored guest" of Wang Jianzhou's mansion today.
After taking a sip of tea, Tang Ling said to Li Changhe: "Changhe, do you know this person?"
As soon as the words fell, he flicked his fingers, and a portrait appeared in front of Li Changhe.
Li Changhe didn't dare to slack off, and after taking the portrait, he carefully opened it, only to see that on the picture scroll, the appearance of a middle-aged man had come into his eyes, it was Xiao Jing's father, who was called Zhu Houcai in his previous life.
Suddenly seeing this person, Li Changhe's face suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Xiao Pingsha?"
Tang Ling thoughtfully: "You really know him." ”
Closing the picture scroll, Li Changhe did not hide it: "Don't hide it from Master, Xiao Pingsha is my disciple of Wild Wave Hall." When the younger brother of Poyan was the hall master of the Wild Waves, he saw that he had a good temperament and qualifications, and he had vigorously cultivated him, if it wasn't for his mysterious disappearance back then, he would now be the current master of the Wild Waves Hall. ”
"Oh?" Tang Ling was slightly surprised. Although he secretly gave instructions to the previous masters of the Wild Waves and the Rainstorm Hall, he only carried out the actions after he took office, so he didn't recognize the original identity of Xiao Jing's father, let alone that this person was actually the candidate of the Wild Waves Hall Master.
Li Changhe's face was solemn, and he continued: "Back then, Xiao Pingsha got the news that someone intended to rebel, so he launched an investigation on his own, and Senior Brother Breaking Rock learned about it, and even rumored that he had several entry moves of the Wave Breaking Palm for self-defense, but it was a pity that ......"
Tang Ling had already guessed what Li Changhe wanted to say: "Could it be that Xiao Pingsha was still defeated and disappeared later?"
Li Changhe sighed.
For a moment, the living room fell silent.
After a while, Xiao Jing opened his mouth to break the silence: "Senior Brother Changhe, do you know who my father investigated before he disappeared?"
The word "father" came out, which immediately attracted Li Changhe's attention: "Senior brother, do you mean that Xiao Pingsha is your father?"
Xiao Jing was silent, and only nodded in response.
Although he was surprised by the relationship between Xiao Pingsha and Xiao Jing, Li Changhe did not leave much emotional words for himself, but stroked his beard and recalled the situation back then: "Back then, Senior Brother Poyan also asked about the identity of the person who intended to rebel, but Xiao Pingsha refused to disclose it on the grounds of insufficient evidence, and said: This person's identity is extraordinary, and now it is only the suspicion stage, and rashly saying his identity before the evidence is conclusive may cause turmoil in the current situation." Therefore, we did not pursue any questions. ”
"But combined with the current situation, I'm afraid you've already guessed who the other party is, right?"
Tang Ling guessed indifferently, and then spit out a name: "An Lushan?"
This is indeed a name that will shake the world.
Hearing that Tang Ling was so sure of the suspect, Li Changhe was a little surprised: "Master, why do you suspect him?"
Tang Ling picked up the teacup, but just stared at the tea in the cup, as if he was making an inadequately grasped reasoning: "I didn't know, everything is just speculation - from Xiao Pingsha's current situation, An Lushan is more likely to rebel than others." ”
Xiao Pingsha's current situation!
When Li Changhe heard these words, he only felt surprised and happy: "Master, have you seen Brother Pingsha?"
"A few days ago, when Qin Jingsheng succeeded the Hades King, I felt that there was a killing intent that had been shrouded in Li Longji's body, and then he should have been discovered by Jiutian before he fled in a hurry, and I left early to track down the origin of that murderous aura, but I didn't expect that murderous aura to come from the missing children of the Sea of Blood, and he was also Xiao Jing's biological father. Tang Ling took a sip of tea, "When he was captured by Xiao Jing, I found that he was actually able to use the wave breaking palm, so I called you here today to ask." ”
"So, how are the Pingsha brothers now?"
"Over the years, he seems to have been controlled by others, which is why I speculate that An Lushan rebelled - his identity is extraordinary, and his subordinates can control mortal sages, and I am afraid that he is the only one in the world. ”
Jiutian, who had been silent, opened his mouth at this time and asked, "Are you sure?"
"If your feeling in Guangling County is right, Xiao Pingsha once appeared in Qin Jingsheng's mansion, then the mastermind behind his disappearance will only be the underworld or Qixia Castle. Tang Ling stated calmly, as if reading from a script, "The people in the underworld, all of them are mortal martial artists, caught Xiao Pingsha or tortured him to extract a confession, or killed him on the spot, there is no possibility of controlling his sanity." And their supporter is Yang Guozhong, this uncle can now have such a high status, all because of the noble concubine Yang Yuhuan, plus he has no great ambitions, he has always only relied on currying favor with Xuanzong to consolidate his position, and there is no possibility of rebellion. ”
Jiutian asked again: "So, Qixia Fort, which has An Lushan as the backing, is more suspicious?"
"It's just that it's more suspicious. Tang Ling looked at Li Changhe again, "I heard that in Luoyang that day, you fought against Zhang Jin of Qixia Castle?"
Although I don't know why Tang Ling asked this question, Li Changhe still answered truthfully: "This is indeed the case." ”
"Ever used the Wave Breaker?"
"Yes. Zhang Jin's main skill far exceeded the disciple's expectations, and he was only slightly injured after resisting my three-style wave breaking palm. ”
"Then two of them are 'riding the wind and waves to wash the world' and 'stormy waves swallowing mayflies'?"
"Exactly. Li Changhe's face was puzzled, "Master, how did you know?"
Tang Ling had an inexplicable smile on his face: "Because after Lord Zhang Jin resisted your two palms at that time, I am afraid that it was not immediately resolved, but directly injected into Xiao Pingsha's body." ”
