Chapter 347: Secret Move
In the previous exchange transaction with Lin Hongmeng, everyone believed that Gao Jie was indeed very sure of ensuring Shen Jiuling's safety, because what Lin Hongmeng wanted was a sacred relic of the White Lotus Sect, and the thing was indeed on Gao Jie.
And now, the kidnapper has been replaced by Li Zhenghua, and the situation has become very complicated. Although the Holy Relic of the White Lotus Sect was a hundred times more precious than the Holy Relic of the Wenxiang Sect, it was not what Li Zhenghua needed.
A person with a dry mouth, even if you prepare a superb abalone, it is not as good as a glass of cold and white.
Obviously, there can only be one consequence of Gao Jie's gambling transaction, that is, Li Zhenghua became angry and embarrassed, which caused the situation to deteriorate drastically.
Dong Ge and the others all tensed their nerves, and their brows were furrowed, they never believed that Gao Jie would not expect terrible consequences, so they became more and more worried and full of doubts.
Li Zhenghua was the only one at the scene who didn't know the inside story, seeing that the package was in front of him, it was at his fingertips, and it was impossible for anyone to stop him from getting the holy relic, his face finally showed a trace of joy, his heart was settled, and he was about to reach out to pick it up, but suddenly thought that his left arm was seriously injured, and only his right arm was intact, so he subconsciously pushed Shen Jiuling to Wei Qi beside him, the long sword was straight, and he was clever enough to pick up the falling package.
The Black Falcon technique focuses on increasing the speed to the extreme, Li Zhenghua's sword is as fast as a meteor, and he successfully catches the package with light and skill.
Seeing the package in his hand and feeling the steep increase in the weight of the sword, the smile on Li Zhenghua's face became more and more pleasant, and when he was about to put away the sword, suddenly, another strange and unfamiliar feeling came unexpectedly.
He slowly lowered his old head, and the smile on his face became distorted, because he saw a small piece of bloody blade appear in his abdomen. He was confused for a short moment, because he couldn't understand how with his own eyesight and martial arts, it was possible that a weapon could be inserted into his body without warning and without a sound, and he couldn't believe that among those present could have this ability!
He has been wandering the rivers and lakes for decades, crawling and rolling in life and death, and has suffered countless injuries large and small, but at the moment, this knife body brings him a completely unfamiliar feeling, just like the dead leaves have finally withered, the deep well has completely dried up, and even the originally bright and dazzling winter sun has become obscure. With a sharp pain starting from the lower abdomen, along the muscles, blood and nerves, quickly flooding the whole body, with decades of profound and incomparable strength and strength slowly, but like an incomparably rapid flow in the body, Li Zhenghua finally realized that this strange feeling is called the will of death, is the artistic conception of death.
He even realized that this ending could not be reversed, there was no chance, and he was really going to die.
His strength was like the tide receding, his feet could no longer support his body, and Li Zhenghua slowly fell soft on the loess. Fortunately, thanks to the old dead tree, Li Zhenghua did not fall completely, but leaned on the tree and sat on the ground. The moment he hit the ground, he felt something quickly pull away from his body.
It was at this moment that he finally figured it out: this fatal blow did not come from Gao Jie and others, but from behind him; the blade was the blade of the broken knife, so after penetrating the body, only a short section was exposed; and the broken knife was Wei Qi's knife!
With a blurred look in his eyes, he looked at Wei Qi, who was expressionless and motionless, and wanted to say something, but his abdominal organs were broken, his liver and gallbladder were damaged, and the knife on his abdomen and back could no longer satisfy the surging blood of his physical strength.
This scene was bizarre and abrupt, and Dong Ge and the others who were gathered in a circle were shocked and dumbfounded, and almost lost the ability to think.
There was only one person, who was not surprised, just like Wei Qi who made a move, as if nothing had happened, with steady steps, he walked in front of Li Zhenghua, bent down to pick up the package that fell to the ground, reached out to dust off the package, and then stuffed it back into the placket.
And this person is Gao Jie.
When Gao Jie completed this series of actions, Dong Ge and the others came back to their senses one after another from their surprise and inexplicability.
It turned out that everything that happened just now, Gao Jie had been prepared for a long time, and it was completely unexpected by him.
In other words, this Wei Qi turned out to be a secret trick arranged by Gao Jie.
Before leaving Beijing, under Luo Sigong's arrangement, Gao Jie went to see Xu Hongru alone and explained that he was going to Shifokou to deal with Wang Haoxian.
His original plan was to find an opportunity to execute the two traitors Hou Wang and Wei Qi on the way, and then find a way to obtain evidence that Wang Haoxian was the mastermind behind the scenes, and use the power of Jinyiwei and the government to eradicate the power of Wang Haoxian's lineage, and finally with the support of Master Jingkong Shitai, Master Guiyuan of the Western Mahayana Sect and Zhang Guanglin of the Hongyang Sect, he sacrificed the White Lotus Holy Sword, commanded the heroes, revitalized the White Lotus Holy Sect, and fulfilled the long-cherished wish of Doctor Xu.
Xu Hongru was originally hindered by his master Wang Sen, and he couldn't bear to turn against Wang Haoxian, but after this catastrophe and the sacrifice of countless innocent disciples, he finally came to his senses and made up his mind.
As a result, Gao Jie learned some completely unexpected inside information and secrets from his mouth.
First of all, the holy relics of the Smelling Fragrance Sect were not missing, but secretly hidden in the place where King Zhuang gave good gifts; secondly, the second son, Wang Haoyi, was hidden in the Bodhi Temple, lying down and tasting courage, waiting for the opportunity; finally, Wei Qi did not rebel, and everything he did was because of Xu Hongru's secret order.
The first two secrets, although Gao Jie was surprised, was not shocked.
Because as far as Gao Jie knew, Wang Sen, like Xu Hongru, was committed to reviving the White Lotus Sect during his lifetime, and he knew that the third son, Wang Haoxian, was scheming and ambitious, and was not a person who could entrust the sect to him, and after being imprisoned, he decided to let the chivalrous and upright second son Wang Haoyi inherit the position of sect leader after his death, and continue to expand the power of the Wenxiang Sect together with his eldest disciple Xu Hongru, in order to unify the other branches and sects when the strength is strong enough, and restore the White Lotus Holy Sect. Therefore, although Wang Haoxian played tricks and won the position of acting sect leader after Wang Sen died in prison, he would never get the fairy fox Xiangwei from Wang Sen.
Wang Sen was able to create the great foundation of the Wenxiang Sect under the white terror of Emperor Wanli's wanton attack on the White Lotus Sect, and he was definitely a majestic figure, and the holy relics of the Wenxiang Sect would definitely be hidden by him in a safe place that Wang Haoxian could not find. The only one who could possibly know was his most trusted eldest disciple, Xu Hongru.
And Wang Haoyi is a person with outstanding talents and extraordinary ambitions, how can he be discouraged and lose his fighting spirit because of a moment of frustration, he is hidden in the Bodhi Temple, and there is no quarrel with the world, which does not mean that he really accepts his fate, but is lying on his salary and waiting for the opportunity to rise again.
This is not only Gao Jie can think of, but even Wang Haoxian is also very clear. It's just that he has just grasped the power of the church, and Wang Haoyi's prestige in the church is very high, and the time to eradicate this hidden danger has not yet come, so he will arrange manpower to keep an eye on Wang Haoyi's movements outside the Bodhi Temple all the time, in order to be able to hold the handle of his rebellion, so as to deal with Wang Haoyi openly and steadily.
The above two points are secretive, so that Gao Jie has two more means to deal with Wang Haoxian, and the joy is really greater than the accident.
And the last inside story really shocked Gao Jie!
Wei Qi turned out to be under the instruction of Xu Hongru to act in a spy war drama of spy in spies!
After asking for help many times, Wang Haoxian still shrank in the mouth of the sect capital Shifokou and refused to rush to help, Xu Hongru had already understood that he had fallen for this guy's trick. Wang Haoxian wanted to deal with himself, Xu Hongru was not surprised, and he didn't even have much resentment, because he knew that since he chose to support his second son, Wang Haoyi, he said that he had become Wang Haoxian's enemy. Although he couldn't bear to do anything to his master's biological son, it didn't mean that Wang Haoxian would be merciful. However, what he couldn't tolerate was that in order to deal with himself, Wang Haoxian did not hesitate to sacrifice and betray tens of thousands of sect members, and did not hesitate to let the blood of countless brothers under his command stain the land of Shandong red. Wang Haoxian's actions touched Xu Hongru's bottom limit, and finally made him have the heart of a Jedi counterattack.
Wei Qi is an indifferent and unsympathetic person on the surface, but in fact he is a good man with clear grievances. Since Xu Hongru rescued him from the brink of death with his superb medical skills many years ago, Wei Qi has become Xu Hongru's shadow, and it can even be said that he is a father, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is still cold and ruthless. Not to mention the Hou Wang, even Wang Haoxian, even the Ming Emperor came in person, and it was impossible for him to betray him.
At that time, the Shandong Righteous Army had fallen into the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army, isolated and helpless, Xu Hongru knew that the defeat was decided, and he was unwilling to fight any further, and he was unwilling to sacrifice more sectarians, just Wei Qi told him about the plot of King Hou intending to rebel against him, Xu Hongru immediately made a decision, and forced Wei Qi to pretend to belong to Wang Haoxian, tie himself up with King Hou, sacrifice the city and surrender, and save thousands of disciples from being killed with his own body.
Wei Qi is a very forbearant person, when the Hou King cruelly removed Xu Hongru's left arm, he was sad, still remembered the benefactor's strict orders, forbearance, and finally succeeded in winning the absolute trust of the Hou Wang, and was named the head of the Northern Guild by Wang Haoxian afterwards, making himself a dark chess firmly nailed to Wang Haoxian's camp.
Knowing that Xu Hongru was so compassionate to the world, righteous and awe-inspiring, and did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to save the lives of thousands of innocent sect members, Gao Jie couldn't help but be moved to tears, and admired this miracle doctor who helped the world.
At the same time, he also secretly said that he was lucky, when he saw Wei Qi in Wei Liangqing's farm before, he really moved to kill, fortunately, Yu Hongzhi escaped death and suddenly appeared, which distracted him and thought about how to protect Yu Hongzhi, and temporarily suppressed the idea of killing Wei Qi, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And today Shen Jiuling was taken hostage, Gao Jie felt that the problem was serious, and he had no bottom in his heart, so he suddenly thought of Wei Qi.
He didn't inform Tian Ergeng and the others because this matter involved the White Lotus Sect's holy relics, and he must not easily divulge such a major secret unless he had to.
So, he asked Dong Ge and the other four to go first to explore the terrain around the Land Temple, and he secretly contacted Wei Qi and let him hide beside him, as a surprise soldier, act when he sees the opportunity, and move with the camera.
This was his last secret move.
Who knows, the situation is unpredictable, ups and downs, beyond everyone's expectations, and Wei Qi has really become the key to turning the situation around.
If it weren't for Li Zhenghua's covetousness of the Smelling Incense Sect's holy relics and wading through this troubled water, Gao Jie and the others would still be facing Lin Hongmeng and his group, even if Wei Qi was lurking on the side, it was still unknown whether they could achieve such an ideal effect.
Thinking of this, Gao Jie couldn't help but secretly say that he was lucky, raised his eyes to look at Wei Qi, who was still exuding a cold aura, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Wei, it's really a good means, I'm lucky to have you today!"
