Chapter 452: Secret Discussion
The State Guesthouse is the highest level of the Royal Inn in Zifu, covering an area of 13 acres, with nine large and small buildings, nine independent courtyards, and all kinds of additional living and entertainment facilities. From the appearance of the street, the purple mansion is relatively low-key as a whole, but only when you enter this state guesthouse can people feel what is called his unique luxury.
The inside is paved with white jade, and all the embankments of the water flow are inlaid with lapis lazuli stones with gold stars, and these two items alone are a huge expense. And look at the plants, as long as they are trees, they must be wrapped with gold leaf around the trunk, which looks very dazzling yellow and clear. As for the flowers used for decoration, they are all kinds of rare and exotic species, and the list goes on.
Wan Peng walked for a while and suddenly sighed. Xie Ting knew what Wan Peng meant, and smiled, "Sigh? I want to sigh too." If I really had time, and it didn't limit my research in this courtyard, I probably wouldn't want to leave. ”
Wan Peng knew that Xie Ting was referring to those strange flowers and plants. Each of these flowers and plants has extremely high medicinal value, and each of them is also priceless.
Lan Jia didn't care about this as if she was used to it, "Hehe, in fact, our Purple Mansion is very rich. At this level of the State Guesthouse, I dare not go up to my original Lanjia courtyard. But my brother said that my yard has been useless for a long time, and I don't know what it looks like. ”
Wan Peng smiled and did not answer. After walking a short distance, they arrived at an independent courtyard in the state guesthouse, which was the accommodation that Zhuyou had arranged for them. After opening the door, the various furnishings and plants inside are exactly the same as those outside, the style is exactly the same, and the grade level is basically the same. In the courtyard, there is a main house and two side rooms, just enough for three people to live.
Lan Jia is the mainstay, so she naturally chose the main house facing the door. Wan Peng and Xie Ting don't care, one chooses the left and the other chooses the right. Not long after moving in, a group of officers and soldiers came outside, about a dozen or twenty people, occupying all the key points inside and outside the courtyard, and they came here to guard and ensure safety. These soldiers changed their posts about once an hour or so, and when they were changed, they were in an orderly manner, and they were obviously not temporarily combined.
For an afternoon, Wan Peng actually spent the yard inspecting and rearranging. He had to make sure that there were no formations and poisons in the courtyard that threatened their safety, and he also needed to lay out some regular formations in the courtyard according to his own rules to supplement his defense. Being out of town, especially in a place where others suggested staying, he had to do so.
At dusk, someone brought the food over, and it was also a whole table of fish, chicken, duck and sea. This was only for the three of them to eat, and after eating, someone else evacuated. The soldiers ate much simpler than that, with two boxes per person for staple food and regular dishes.
Not long after dinner, Takeyu came again. There was a lot of melancholy in his eyes, and even a little sadness. This time, after briefly asking Lan Jia if he was not used to living and whether he had other needs, he went directly to Wan Peng, went straight to Wan Peng's room, and closed the doors and windows.
Wan Peng knew that his purpose was nothing more than two things, one was related to Matsura's death, and the other was related to the demons in the Council of Elders. Of course, whether there will be some connection between these two things may also be something that Takeyou considers.
"Last time you said that there was a demon in the Council of Elders, are you sure who it is?" Zhuyou got straight to the point, without any intention of hiding it, and there was a little more trust in Wan Peng's eyes.
Wan Peng said calmly, "Without substantive contact, of course I am not sure." And I can't rule out if the demon is also deliberately testing me. You must know that the magic of Huiling Descending is actually a relatively sensitive thing in the demon world. I used it on my way back to protect Lan Jia, and I was also identified, and if the demons in the Council of Elders were in tandem with those demons, it was normal for me to deliberately test me. ”
"Matsura is dead. Takeyou's words were filled with sadness, "The cause of death is unknown. I went to the scene and there was no sign of a fight. Matsura was pierced through his body from behind with a sword, probably killed on the spot, and the place was not moved much. Moreover, it should be a sword, not a sword qi, and there is no sword solution. Because there were guards around Songliang's room, they didn't feel any unexpected fluctuations in spiritual power. ”
"When your subordinates reported to you, I heard it. Wan Peng also told the truth, "But I don't know what the specific situation is." The death of the second prince of Matsura is obviously only the first step. What will happen next, none of us knows. The return of Prince Langa, or the king's serious illness, one must be the fuse, which leads to a big explosion. ”
Takeyou sighed, but there was still a lot of alertness in his eyes, "Can you hear me?"
Wan Peng shook his head, "No, it's just that my spiritual sense has been trained to a certain extent, and I can capture the vibrations of the sound at that distance when you were speaking. ”
Zhu Yi nodded, "Then you should be more careful." You just said that the fuse led to a big explosion, what exactly?"
Wan Peng looked up at Zhuyou, "I don't know." I really don't know. The Purple Mansion seems more complicated than I thought. Who is directing this big bang, I can only be sure that it is not me, including you, or Lan Jia, and I can't rule out suspicion. Wan Peng paused for a moment, knowing that it was not a good choice to continue talking like this, so he changed the subject, "However, regarding the death of the second prince of Songliang, you said that there is no spiritual power fluctuation, and it may not be." Actually, I want you to know one thing. You see. ”
Wan Peng said, pointing with his right hand, a flame jumped in his palm. This was not the True Yang Heavenly Fire, but the flame that he drove using the Fire Refining Technique.
He didn't let Takeyou see this fire, but let Takeyou feel the fluctuation of spiritual power.
The drive of this magic technique should have made Zhu You feel obvious spiritual power fluctuations at this distance, but just now, Zhu You didn't feel any spiritual power fluctuations.
After realizing this, Takeyu's complexion changed dramatically!
Wan Peng put away the flame and said very easily, "You don't have to be nervous. I don't have time to kill Matsura, and I don't have any reason. I just want you to know that there are many ways to make people feel the fluctuation of spiritual power. The one I used just now is using a magic weapon. ”
He flipped his left hand, and a vertebra appeared in his hand. "It's a vertebrae, of course, appearances. From the point of view of the magic weapon, this is a spiritual ring. The so-called spiritual consciousness ring is a thing that can isolate spiritual consciousness. And you know, we can feel the fluctuation of spiritual power because of the existence of spiritual consciousness. If I isolate your spiritual consciousness from the midst of uncontrollability, outside of a certain range, you will naturally not feel the fluctuation of spiritual power. ”
Zhuyou's brows furrowed, "This, where did this come from? Could it be that the person who killed Songliang also has this kind of spiritual consciousness ring?"
Wan Peng shook his head, "Not necessarily. It's just that there are many things that can make the fluctuation of spiritual power not obvious. Or, for you, it's a windfall for today, and you can have an extra angle to think about. To get back to the point, you came to me to help me find the demons in the Council of Elders?"
"This is just one part of a series of actions I have taken. As you said, whether the demon was the murderer of Matsura or not, not necessarily. However, the Demon in the Purple Mansion Elders' Church has always been a hidden danger. Even if they didn't do it, I need to find them out and punish them. At this point, I hope you can help me. In addition, I have arranged for someone to arrange for you to see your father as soon as possible. ”
Wan Peng took a deep breath, "It's not that I can't find out the demon." It's just that it can be said that it can affect the whole body, if the demons in the Council of Elders are found, are you sure that it will not lead to a chaos that is difficult to end?"
"Even if the demon has some conspiracy, it is weak at the moment. I will strengthen the vigilance throughout the country, and under the control of our main body, there should not be too much chaos. Although Zhu Yu said this, he still had a somewhat uncertain tone.
"That's good. Wan Peng took a deep breath, "Tomorrow at noon, you will come here again to find me, and then, according to my plan, we will go to the presbyterian church together." Also, I want you to take three or four of your subordinates to the Presbyterian Church, the kind of masters who are masters. ”
Take's head is good. After that, he didn't say anything more, and turned away.
Liyang smiled gloomily in Wanpeng's inner world, "You really can't be idle anywhere." Could it be that among the nine heavens, every sky must leave your name and story?"
Wan Peng sighed a little helplessly, "Yes, don't say cool words." Do you think that if I don't help him, we will be able to meet the old king smoothly? As soon as the old king dies, what if no one helps us go to Jinxiao? Or is it that the old king is dead, he has to pass it on, and if we don't help him, how can we go to Jinxiao?"
Liyang smiled strangely. Wan Peng himself sat aside, took out a bunch of materials from the ring, and then asked Xie Ting for a lot, before he began to make a formation talisman by comparison.
Time passed quickly in the busyness, and the next morning, Wan Peng was on the table, neatly placed three white array symbols. He smiled with satisfaction, then walked over to the bed and lay down to sleep.
Zhu You came very punctually, Wan Peng said it was noon, but he had just arrived at noon and had already entered the courtyard. He didn't say hello to Lan Jia again, but walked directly to Wan Peng's door, knocked a few times, and called Wan Peng's name. Wan Peng also understood, opened the door, and walked out with Zhuyou. On the way, he gave the finished array talisman to Zhuyou, and the other two masters that Zhuyou was going to bring were one for each of them, but the specific purpose was not explained.
With the hall of the Presbyterian Hall close in front of them, Wan Peng and Zhuyou paused for a moment, glanced at each other, and walked inward.
