Chapter 233: Cold all over the body
"Why is the Ancient Deputy Alliance Master so idle today? He actually came to this ancient temple in the wilderness, could it be that he also had the absurd idea of 'putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the ground'?"
Although Han Bing's face smiled brightly, the words he said still had a taste of yin and sarcasm.
However, Gu Ning hadn't completely recovered from the shock of seeing Han Bing at this time, and he didn't realize the obvious banter in this kid's words, so he asked casually for some reason: "What's ridiculous?"
Han Bingran sneered: "If people like you and me can become Buddhas, what have become of those who were killed by us?"
Gu Ning came back to his senses at this time, and suddenly his mind changed, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "You just killed someone in the temple?"
"Killed. Han Bing replied to him lazily.
At this time, Gu Ning also smelled the heavy bloody aura on Han Bing's body, and a cold glow couldn't help flashing in his long and narrow black eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "How much?"
Han Bing frowned and thought for a while, "Thirty Ouchi masters plus two fake monks, well, thirty-two, no more, no less!"
Gu Ning looked at him coldly, "What are you talking nonsense about?!"
"Huh?" Han Bing gave him a strange look, "You're here to judge me! If you don't believe me, you can go to the temple and take a look yourself." ”
Gu Ning looked at the closed temple door, and also felt that this matter was strange.
Regardless of whether what Han Bing said was true or not, the screams coming from the temple were absolutely true. This means that something must have happened in Jishi Temple tonight.
But why is there no movement in the temple at this moment? If it is said that all the monks in the temple have been killed by the cold ice, then the door of this temple has obviously been closed from the inside.
Gu Ning thought about it, and felt that it seemed inappropriate for him to go to the door of Jishi Temple at this moment. With his current identity, appearing here at such a time is already weird, and he really has no position to go to the temple to find out the truth.
This time, the killing of the parting arrow, the Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance served a secret order.
The meaning of the secret decree is that only the chief and deputy leaders of the Loyal and Righteous Alliance are present to listen to the decree, and after listening to it, the holy decree is taken away by the person who gave the decree.
Therefore, now that Gu Ning has no evidence in his hands, he can't explain to people the purpose of coming here in the middle of the night.
What's more, the emperor had a strict order in the secret decree not to disturb the monks in the Jishi Temple.
It seems that, despite all his reluctance, in order to find out the truth about what happened tonight, he has to deal with the tricky and eccentric teenager in front of him.
"Okay, so tell me what's going on with all this?"
Gu Ning felt that she had put her voice as gently as possible, but who knew that this kid Han Bing still wanted to deliberately play tricks.
I saw him pouting and saying, "You are so condescending, like a prisoner, I don't have the strength to raise my head and reply to your Gu Deputy Alliance Master's question!"
Gu Ning secretly took a breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and simply sat down cross-legged opposite the cold ice.
Only then did Han Bing smile at him with satisfaction and said, "It seems that you are indeed not here to kill me!"
Gu Ning raised her eyebrows, feeling that this young man seemed to have something to say. But he still temporarily suppressed the idea of asking, and just looked at Han Bing quietly and listened to him continue.
"I guess you must have come by the emperor's secret order. No matter who the secret decree specifies that you want to kill, in fact, the person the emperor really wants to kill - it is me!"
"Could it be that you are the parting arrow?"
Gu Ning squinted at Han Bing, and finally couldn't help but ask the doubt in his heart.
Han Bing just smiled, "So you're here to kill the parting arrow!"
"Haven't you heard about the Tibetan Valley? The parting arrow is naturally here to kill Master Hui Nian to avenge his revenge for destroying the valley back then. ”
Han Bing smiled again and asked rhetorically, "Do you really believe this?"
"I-"
Gu Ning hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head.
Han Bing also smiled at this time, and said solemnly: "I don't know if the parting arrow has come, but I can guarantee that Master Huinian is in the temple at this moment, safe and sound."
However, it was true that someone wanted to kill him, but it was not a parting arrow, but a master of the inner world sent by Zheng Yong.
As for the reasons for this, I beg your pardon for not being able to explain to you. Otherwise, the next person the emperor wants to kill is probably your Gu Deputy Alliance Master!"
Gu Ning looked at Han Bing, for some reason, he actually had a feeling that what this young man said at the moment should be the truth.
But what do you do?
If he is let go of this, how should he explain to the emperor and the Lord of the Snow Alliance?
But if you have to keep him, what is the reason?
As soon as Master Hui Nian's life and death were investigated, it was clear that Han Bing had no need to tell himself such a lie that could be solved as soon as it was revealed.
Since he didn't kill Master Hui Nian, he can't prove that he is a parting arrow, so what crime should he be charged with arresting him?
Seeing Gu Ning's frowning and thoughtful look, Han Bing felt that this so-called king of killers was really not cold-blooded, and even a little emotional.
However, this is also the reason why he showed mercy to Gu Ning's subordinates. A person who is willing to think about right and wrong always has something to forgive.
"Does the Gu Vice Alliance Master know why I'm sitting here waiting for you?"
Gu Ning shook his head very honestly.
In fact, he didn't expect that Han Bing was waiting for him at all, and he mistakenly thought that this kid was waiting for some helper. However, he would never admit this to Han Bing.
"I'm waiting for you just to give you a chance to see who I am, that is, to give you a reason not to do it. Once we move our hands on each other, let's not talk about whether I can retreat with my whole body, at least your Gu Deputy Alliance Master will never have a chance to retreat with my whole body. ”
Seeing Gu Ning's eyes flashing, Han Bing guessed that he had disbelief in his heart, and couldn't help but explain with a smile: "I'm not saying that my martial arts will definitely be better than you.
I mean, if this battle really happens tonight, no matter how I end up in the end, anyway, you Gu Deputy Alliance Leader will never be able to get out of it anymore, and you will even become a victim of the emperor's blame.
I don't think you, with the intelligence of the king of killers, can't you understand the truth?"
Hearing Han Bing say this, Gu Ning couldn't help frowning and began to ponder this matter carefully.
The first thing he thought of was naturally the emperor's secret decree.
The secret decree only said that he wanted to kill the parting arrow, but if he finally killed Han Bing, the son of Zuo Xiang, in the absence of any evidence to prove that Han Bing was the parting arrow, wouldn't it be tantamount to violating the will?
Then next, in order to give Zuo Xiang an explanation, the emperor will definitely push himself out as a scapegoat.
Moreover, if he does not have a holy decree in his own hands, how can he say that he has followed the emperor's will? When the time comes, the emperor will not even admit the existence of this secret decree at all.
The person who delivered the decree was Gonggong Zheng, who was already the emperor's confidant, so naturally he could not be expected to exonerate himself.
Although the Snow Alliance Lord can testify for himself, once something really happens, the Snow Alliance Lord may not be able to protect himself.
In addition, listening to the meaning of Han Bing's words, there is a great conspiracy hidden behind this whole thing. If you think about it, it's possible.
Something big must have happened in the temple.
On weekdays, even the Loyal and Righteous League has a little awe of this Protector Temple, how dare other gangs come here to commit a minor offense?
Therefore, those who broke into the temple are likely to be masters of Ouchi as Han Bing said. And no matter who they were ordered to do, it was not something that their little deputy leader of the Loyalty League could guess at will.
In this way, it seems that he has indeed been involved in a terrible whirlpool......
At this moment, a gust of night wind suddenly blew from nowhere, which made the already sultry air feel more comfortable.
However, as this cool night breeze blew, Gu Ning suddenly felt a chill all over his body. Only then did he suddenly realize that before he knew it, a layer of cold sweat had appeared on his body!
