Chapter Ninety-Six: Awareness
"The general was murdered by Zhou Bai!" Fang Shuo was shocked to hear the bad news, and couldn't help but straighten up and lean towards the guards. All kinds of spiritual treasures and strange things on the table were suddenly scattered on the ground, and the chalcedony that would have been distressed all day long if a drop was wasted was lost with the shattering of the jade box.
However, these Fang Shuo had completely ignored the "Prepare the army and horses!", glared at the hesitant guards, Fang Shuo said angrily, "Now is the time to think about it behind closed doors, why don't you go quickly! Afterwards, I will personally ask the general for guilt!"
"Wow. The guards hugged their fists.
Hurry up the horse, Fang Shuo whipped the military horse fiercely along the way, in order to be faster, faster.
Fang Shuo's cultivation is not high, but he is extremely good at refining weapons, because the military magic weapon is different from the monk's magic weapon, so his mansion was arranged to a hidden place in the Beiling Tomb outside the city.
When he arrived in Youzhou, he was already on the rise, looking at the layout of the city defense that was tight inside and loose outside, Fang Shuo's heart suddenly sank.
"Meet the Major General!" Fang Shuo bowed.
"Mr. Fang, please get up. Xiahou Jie helped Fang Shuo up with a sad face, "When my father was killed, I knew that Mr. would come immediately, and now Mr. Yayun and the two worshippers are waiting for you in the inner courtyard." ”
After signaling left and right to lead the way, Xiahou Jie said in a deep voice, "Now that the border war is about to start, I can't get out of my body for the time being, so I'll leave my father's affairs to Mr." ”
Fang Shuo glanced at Xiahou Jie deeply, the blow will make people mature, but it will not change a person's human nature, only people's hearts can change human nature. The grief in Xia Houjie's eyes was real, but the joy he wanted to hide desperately was also real.
He is Xia Hou Jie's enlightenment gentleman, and he is also the staff of Xia Hou Jie and his father, which is one of the reasons why he has a low cultivation level but can be in the same hall with all the great powers.
I am afraid that no one in the world knows Xiahou Jie better than him, Fang Shuo did not believe that this young general with joy in his eyes and an ugly expression was the prince of the General's Mansion that he had once taught.
Fang Shuo, who quietly recorded this sense of disobedience, followed the guards to the backyard.
"Fang Daoyou!" Yayun saw Fang Shuo and hurriedly got up to greet him.
Qingxu and Weichen frowned, and after glancing at each other, they stood up and waited for Fang Shuo to approach.
Yayun enthusiastically took Fang Shuo's hand and pulled it in front of the two and said, "This is Fang Shuo's Daoyou, but he has a lot of research on the way of magic weapons, and the armaments of Xuanjia in recent years are all from Fang Daoyou's hands. ”
"These two are the two seniors of the Mansion ** Feng, the Qingxu Dao Chief and the Weichen Dao Chief. Yakumo pulled Fang Shuo, who was a little embarrassed, to sit next to him and said, "Daoist friends are going out now, but they have experimented with a new encryption method?"
The attitude of the two of them, Fang Shuo had already noticed it before they entered the door, after all, as two powerful cultivators who had been cultivated at the top of the Scattered Cultivation Realm, it was already a great favor to be willing to meet an ant in a small Qi cultivation period, how could he care if this ant was a worker ant or a soldier ant.
Under Yakumo's forcible pull, he was embarrassed to salute the two of them again, as Yakumo's friend, if he saluted the monk who stammered Yakumo, then several people would not have a good time.
"I've seen two seniors," Fang Shuo said with some fidgeting.
"Fang Daoyou is a friend of Yakumo, and he is also our friend over there, so why do you need these politeness between friends. Qingxu stroked his beard and said with a warm face.
Yakumo smiled, "You don't have to be polite, you don't have to be polite." Has Fang Daoyou ever found a new way to encrypt?"
When it came to professionalism, Fang Shuo's expression froze, and the distracting thoughts in his heart were suddenly forgotten, and he said seriously, "I have been researching for many days, but I have not found a new encryption method. ”
Just as Yakumo's eyes showed a look of disappointment, Fang Shuo continued, "But I found out how Zhou Bai cracked our message!"
Qingxu and Weichen, who were watching the play, stiffened their expressions, and the contempt in their eyes disappeared.
"The way to crack it is to ....... Zhou Bai had never cracked the Xuanjia Token!" Fang Shuo said quickly, "I have studied for a long time, and I found that the fluctuation of the communication seems to have changed, but in fact it has not changed, to be exact, it has only changed after the sergeant has received the order. ”
Yakumo closed his eyes and digested the information, "That is, these misleading messages are all Zhou Bai's unique methods, and others can't imitate them. ”
Fang Shuo nodded yes.
Yakumo opened his eyes, and there was a slight unwilling killing intent in his eyes, "Even if you know this, how can you get rid of Zhou Bai." Under the killing intent, Fang Shuo's brows tightened.
No, there was something wrong with Yakumo, the Yakumo he knew was not a person who easily revealed his murderous intent, and the resentment in this killing intent made Fang Shuo a little disgusted.
Weichen opened his mouth and said, "Fang Daoyou, have you ever visited the general?"
Fang Shuo's mood suddenly sank, "The general's whole body is not abnormal, but he is still unconscious. Looking at Yakumo, Fang Shuo suddenly asked, "I don't know the day the general was killed, but there was someone around?"
Yakumo said, "We have interrogated these messages countless times in the past few days, and the general was killed in a breath out of the backyard, and there was only a secret sentry in the mansion present. ”
There were too few clues, Fang Shuo couldn't help frowning, "Why did the general come out of the backyard? Recently, the border aliens have been moving frequently, and the guards told me that the general has not returned to the backyard to rest for many days, and the big battle is imminent, why did he go to the backyard that day?"
Weichen snorted coldly in his heart, making trouble unreasonably.
Yakumo also saw Weichen's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly said, "This matter is about the general, and it's good to be cautious." After thinking about it, Yakumo said, "The general took me to meet with the two generals that day, and then the general left alone, and heard the sound of smashing in the backyard, so he went to the small courtyard of the major general. ”
Fang Shuo was stunned, is it also related to the Major General?
"Since being plotted by Buddhism, the young general's personality has begun to be irritable, because his hair has been shaved off by Buddhism, so he does not want to look in the mirror again, and when the servants carry the water tank that day, the major general sees the reflection in the water and explodes in anger. ”
Everything seems normal. However, Yakumo's next words made Fang Shuo's eyes light up.
The general only reprimanded the major general and hurried out of the courtyard, after which he fainted and fell to the ground, still not awake. ”
Fang Shuo looked back at the people he saw on the road, and the sense of disobedience in his heart became stronger and stronger, obviously he was about to grasp the key point, but he couldn't explain it because of his lack of cultivation and his lack of access to the corresponding level.
"Has the Eight Cloud Daoist ever noticed something strange about himself?" Fang Shuo asked directly.
Yakumo was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "What's wrong with me?
Fang Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "Usually I can't see the difference, but when it comes to Zhou Bai, Daoyou's eyes show resentment, such a blatant killing intent shouldn't have appeared on Daoyou." ”
"This ......" Yakumo looked at Qingxu and Dust suspiciously. The two shook their heads to indicate that they had not noticed.
"Not only is Daoyou abnormal, but even the mood of the young general is wrong. Fang Shuo hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "The young general has always admired the general, and it is impossible to show a fluke expression." However, when I saw him again today, I found that his eyes were deliberately hiding joy. ”
If it is an ordinary family, it is normal, after all, there are many heirs, and if you win the position of the head of the family, you need to compete for it. But Xia Houjie, as an only son, is the successor who has been set a long time ago, and since he came into contact with government and military affairs, he has truly realized the heavy burden of affairs and the pressure on his shoulders. It shouldn't have been so eager.
"Are you saying that our minds have been controlled?" Yakumo said with a smile, "How is it possible, if this is the case, the two seniors must have realized it." ”
Fang Shuo stared at Yakumo tightly, and said in a deep voice, "What if even they are controlled?"
