Chapter 210 Yun Han: I'll Ask My Mother What Happened
I don't know if this is good news or bad news.
The good news is that Chu Mingkong's doubts about his identity have been dispelled. He came in with Xiao Yunhan, so he doesn't have to be suspected of being a murderer or a suspicious person. The real murderer just ran away, which saves Chu Mingkong from explaining his identity and why. It's time to move around with a set of armor.
The bad news is that another elder died in Tianyalou. After questioning, this elder Li was more inclined to him, which made Chu Mingkong very annoyed.
But in this way, the Xiao family's suspicion in Chu Mingkong's heart was very low, and it could not be said that there was a firm conclusion, but it was almost inseparable.
If the Xiao family really has the ability to drive people of this level over, then why bother to have a relationship with the internal elders of Tianyalou, and kill those who don't support it and it's over.
The atmosphere in Tianya Tower was heavy, and everyone was frowning. Looking at Elder Li's body, everyone had a lot to say, but they couldn't say it.
Whether it's questioning, doubt, anger, or grief, these expressions of emotion have no meaning in the moment and will only waste precious time.
When no one spoke, Chu Mingkong broke the silence first. He squatted down, inspected the depression in Elder Li's chest at close range, and asked the elders:
"What happened to the enchantment just now? Why can't it stop the assassin?"
Chu Mingkong has a deep understanding of this kind of refreshing feeling of being able to advance and retreat freely in the barrier of other people's homes, but when he finds out that other people can do the same, he becomes nervous.
This feeling of uneasiness is like entering the bathroom and finding that the door is not closed tightly, and can guard against someone breaking in at any time.
The elders in charge of the enchantment and formation looked at each other, and pushed a representative to speak:
"That person possesses some concealed auras and spirit treasures to crack the formation, but he must have also used the power of the extreme yin. We found that a barrier was destroyed by the force of the extreme yin. After the destruction, it should have been noticed by us. Arrived, but the assassin's spirit treasure quickly paralyzed the formation. The nearby guards noticed something strange and went to check it out. On the other side, Elder Li had an accident almost at the same time...
After the commotion happened later, we were the first to surround Tianyalou, not to mention a few guests, even those of us who have worked together in Tianyalou for more than ten years couldn't get out.
I just don't know why the new formation that was formed later couldn't stop this person...the only person who couldn't stop it...it doesn't make sense, could it be that it was cracked? "
Another elder hunched over and said worriedly:
"Is it because you are old and ignorant? Is it possible that someone can use the power of extreme yin freely now?"
He asked what Chu Mingkong wanted to ask, and an elder responded:
"Maybe, but at least I haven't heard of it at all, not even in the Tianji Empire. I just don't know about those sects...Governor Shen, I wonder if you have heard of it?"
Xiazi Yueyun's familiar master shook his head, and said plainly and concisely:
"No."
After discussing for a long time, I couldn't discuss why.
Chu Mingkong didn't think that person could really walk through most of the barriers like him.If he really has this ability, why bother to secretly destroy the formation barrier when he enters the Tianya Tower?
If you can see it as nothing and go in, you will definitely not toss the barrier with extra hands. When some barriers are destroyed, the reaction is very strong.I would not have discovered it originally, but it may be self-defeating if I touch it more, and it will arouse the attention of people around me.
After that, why he could go out directly after escaping later? Chu Mingkong was more inclined that he had a way to break the barrier that prevented him from going out, but he had no way to deal with the barrier when he entered.
It is possible that he can use the power of extreme yin to enter the enchantment, but he will be discovered by the enchantment, reminding the people in Tianya Building to be on guard, so he needs to destroy it before sneaking in, but he will be discovered anyway when he escapes. I don't care so much, just cross the barrier directly.
Moreover, the effect of this person's extreme yin power is slightly different from that of Chu Mingkong, he can be sensed by Xiao Yunhan and the others.
This matter has been fruitless for the time being, but Chu Mingkong has already obtained many conclusions he wanted.
Several elders took the corpse away to ponder the matter, and after rubbing the elders again, they came to receive a few rare guests. After they added greetings to Xiao Yunhan and Shen Xuejun, they focused on Chu Mingkong.
The elder who spoke was Elder Ding who studied the refining of elixir in Tianya Tower. He looked at the man in armor and cloak in front of him. His attire was really suspicious.
"Miss Xiao, who is this?"
"You all know each other, but it's inconvenient to reveal your identities right now, so I can only reveal this." Xiao Yunhan said.
Xiao Yunhan felt that these elders would figure out Chu Mingkong's identity more or less slowly, but it was one thing for them to guess, and another thing for Xiao Yunhan to admit it personally. As long as no one was sure, then no matter how they guessed, they could only guess.
Chu Mingkong's whereabouts were placed on the table, which was quite troublesome.
Elder Ding understood and stopped asking. Anyway, no matter how suspicious this person is, he will not be the murderer:
"Then what's the matter, shouldn't you simply accompany the eldest lady here?"
Chu Mingkong nodded, and he first asked the old man who smelled like pills and furnace fire for an answer:
"Could this be done secretly with the Xiao family?"
"No." Elder Ding glanced at Xiao Yunhan, saw that she had no reaction, and continued: "Except for the eldest lady, the Xiao family does not have this ability. From the current point of view, it is more like the hands and feet of Buddhism. Whether it is Tianya City The haunting Buddhist disciples, or the exercises used to attack and kill Elder Li just now, all show that the recent events are inseparable from Buddhism."
Chu Mingkong nodded, thinking that this matter was really troublesome. Originally, it seemed that when he returned to Xiling, the Xiao family and the royal family needed to be on guard the most. As a result, people from the Buddhist sect began to show up, and their methods were very powerful.
In contrast, both the Xiao family and the royal family seemed unprepared.
Maybe Xiao Chengren is annoyed now that he doesn't have many daughters to curry favor with Buddhism.
"Things have developed to the present, and the nature of martial arts in Tianya City has changed. It is no longer to select a young hero with a talent for the sky to be the city lord, but this city lord can't stand. Is there any tendency in Tianya Building now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Mingkong realized that his question was inappropriate. Isn't this equivalent to asking "Does Tianyalou have any internal plans?" This kind of unspoken rules can be found everywhere. It's tacit, but it can't be admitted to the outside world.
Elder Ding really showed a troubled expression, Chu Mingkong changed his words:
"According to the elder's personal opinion, not to mention who is the most promising, but in terms of influence alone, which side is better for Xiling and Tianya City to be the city lord?"
With such a question, Elder Ding did not hold back so much, he said bluntly:
"To be honest, this old man doesn't represent Tianya Tower, but only expresses his own thoughts. This old man thinks Xiao's is better!"
"Why?"
Elder Ding smiled bitterly and said:
"No choice.
This Buddhism is naturally impossible, and you can understand it without explaining it.Looking at the royal family again, you and I understand what the royal family is thinking. It never wants to make Xiling better and let the royal family control Tianya City. It will only move the entire Tianya Tower to the capital. The painstaking efforts in management will not be left to Xiling. If Xiling is now without Tianya City, what is left?
At least he wants to be the king of the Xiao family here, and wants to keep everything in his own hands, and at least the Xiao family also has the symbol of Princess Chu as the king of Chu.After the disappearance of King Huai of Chu, Princess Chu has been half in charge of Xiling affairs for many years, and there has been no major disturbance. If there is no sudden disaster, Princess Chu can be said to have done nothing during her time in charge, but she is too partial to her natal family. "
The attribution of merit and demerit does not depend on whether it is brought about by the person in charge. Even if it is an uncontrollable natural disaster, as long as it happened during the time when Princess Chu was in charge, the historian will attribute all the responsibility to her. She is innocent but not negotiable. .
Xiao Yunhan watched quietly for a long time, and rarely spoke:
"Why didn't you consider the son, he is orthodox."
Elder Ding's expression became more complicated:
"It's useless to think about this choice. We have no way to bring the son back. We proposed to the capital to let the son come back to succeed the throne, but the emperor was seriously ill and it was difficult to reply in person. The empress also said that it was difficult to make a decision in private. We had to wait for the emperor to wake up. We all doubted Did the emperor pretend to be ill because of this, so he ignored us and let the prince continue to be trapped in the capital?"
Although he understands this truth, Chu Mingkong, as the person involved, was in a delicate mood when he heard this kind of words. Someone from his own headquarters said to him, "I'm sorry, son, you can continue to be a hostage in the capital, and we will take good care of Xiling." a feeling of.
Elder Ding's expression suddenly became mysterious, and he continued:
"And there is one thing that increases our importance to the Xiao family, which is even more important than before!"
Shen Xuejun couldn't help turning his eyes to the old man when he heard the words, curious about what he was about to say.
"Elder, please speak!" Chu Mingkong said.
Chu Mingkong also paid attention to it. Could it be that the Xiao family still has secrets that he doesn't know?
...Could it be that Xiao Chengren really has an illegitimate daughter, who is backed by other forces? !
Doesn't this give me acquaintance with this illegitimate daughter, and see if she is luscious?
"Patriarch Xiao recently fawned on a reclusive expert. His cultivation base is hard to see through. He probably has some magic weapon and spirit treasure in his body. It is expected to be not low, but this is not the key. The key is the background of this expert. Unimaginably exaggerated.
Patriarch Xiao received an extinct ancient elixir from him casually, and it was at the level of a thousand-year-old medicine. If I hadn't seen the root of the medicine from him with my own eyes, I would have suspected that he had drunk too much.
It can only be said that the world is full of wonders, and until now I can't imagine that someone can make such a big deal, let alone a gift, even if it is a sell, I am not willing to sell it!
It's a pity for such a good medicine to be used by Xiao Fengnan. If I had said something earlier, I would have exchanged a plant that was almost used by him. What a waste! "
Chu Mingkong: "..."
Shen Xuejun was also curious about this, she and Xiao Yunhan looked at each other, and wanted to ask the other party where this person came from, but Xiao Yunhan looked blank, and had never heard of such a No. [-] guest minister in the family.
Seeing the apprentice's reaction, Shen Xuejun probably only met recently, and may have made friends secretly, and did not reveal too much to others.she asked:
"Then under what circumstances did this mysterious expert send out this thousand-year-old medicine? You must know that the cheap one is sometimes the most expensive, and the price behind it may be incalculable. It is impossible for this level of medicine to Just give it away."
Chu Mingkong nodded in agreement, this is true, so didn't Princess Chu suffer a whole night?
Elder Ding shook his head puzzledly:
"The old man doesn't know this truth, but Patriarch Xiao told me that he had a very happy conversation with this expert and made him happy. The other party sent medicine to Xiao Fengnan to treat his hand the next day."
I am indeed happy, but the main reason for this happiness is that I have spent a whole night of making medicine tired, and I have filled up the metamorphic filial piety of the tasks every ten days. My heart is filled with the joy of the harvest after the hard work of the working people. Happiness, satisfaction.
Xiao Yunhan pondered for a moment, then doubtfully said:
"This matter sounds strange to me. When I return home, I will ask my mother what is going on!"
"?!"
A few drops of cold sweat flowed down Chu Mingkong's back. Although Princess Chu and Xiao Chengren didn't know who "Zuo Gecut" was, if Princess Chu told her daughter about that person's behavioral characteristics, she might describe it again. Niu Niu.
Xiao Yunhan couldn't think of him, Chu Mingkong wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death!
Chu Mingkong swallowed, grabbed his sister's wrist, and said cautiously:
"Yunhan, leave this matter to me to investigate, don't startle the snake, let's discuss it carefully."
Xiao Yunhan said:
"There's nothing to discuss. The mysterious man who suddenly appeared at this time is so generous, either rape or robbery. I'll find out what's going on when I ask my mother."
"It's either rape or stealing...it's not impossible!" Chu Mingkong felt guilty.
Elder Ding was very envious of this mysterious man's generosity, and wanted Xiao Chengren to introduce him, but Xiao Chengren refused, saying that there was no one who could not be found.He agreed:
"It's time to ask clearly, the old man can also assist the eldest lady in investigating this person!"
Chu Mingkong hurriedly said: "If you get involved in this matter, I'm afraid more things will be involved. Let's stand still and wait for this person to take action before we deal with it. Now I just want you to stay with me, Yunhan!"
"Then have you changed?" Xiao Yunhan looked at his younger brother.
"...Change!" Chu Mingkong gritted his teeth.
The mature lady teacher silently looked over...
Elder Ding looked solemn, wondering who this armored man was and why he was so close to the eldest lady. Could it be that he was a Taoist companion?But isn't the young miss who cultivated the path of unfeeling?
Forget it, it's useless to delve into it, anyway, with Pavilion Master Shen taking care of the eldest lady, there will be no problem.
Chu Mingkong put off this terrifying crisis for a while, and then started talking to Elder Ding:
"Elder Ding, can you speed up the performance of the martial arts competition? There are a lot of movements in the Buddhist sect now, and they have come prepared. They should end the martial arts performance in Tianya City as soon as possible, and focus on dealing with these troubled monks. Otherwise, the pressure on the royal family has not been relieved much. I don't know how much trouble Buddhism will bring."
Elder Ding felt that this matter was reasonable, and the outside forces were fighting with each other, and many participants' jade cards were taken away. There is no need to delay it for so many days, it should end sooner.Anyway, now we can only bet all the treasure on the Xiao family.
