Chapter 39 Conspiracy

The ground outside the city was shaking, and it was no surprise that such a big commotion attracted people.

It's just that unexpectedly, people came in such an orderly manner—the Feiguang Palace and the three great families were all present, and they all came.

Jiang Baizhou used his unique skill of "invisibility", and the invisible water mist enveloped him and hid him, enveloping Long Ying in by the way.The two quietly hid under the entrance of the tunnel. The secret room behind them had already collapsed. The group of people above began to search around. Hearing the sound of footsteps, they brought at least a few hundred soldiers with them.

The soldiers searched the entrance of the tunnel and found that it was blocked, so they turned to search other places.

At this time, I don't know how many days it is, the moon has disappeared into the dark clouds again, the night is thick, and several torches illuminate the small garden that has collapsed into ruins.

Looking up from the entrance, you can't see the faces of the group of people, but you can see the flickering flames and dense figures.

Listening to the conversation above, Long Ying identified the identities of the people based on the different voices, and introduced them to Jiang Baizhou one by one: "Ji Shixiong, Gongsun Bo, these are Jiao Hen, Zhao Lufu, the Patriarchs of the Jiao family and the Zhao family... umm , I can’t hear this voice, but it’s familiar, it should be someone from Feiguang Palace.”

Jiang Baizhou nodded, he didn't know anyone except Gongsun Bo.

Gongsun Bo suddenly slammed his crutches on the ground, and said displeasedly: "Master Ji, I said earlier that this ruined place should be demolished, but you didn't! It's good now, someone stepped in first!"

Ji Shixiong innocently said: "How can you blame me? Mr. Bo, don't blame me. Is there any matter that the three of you have not discussed and decided together in these years? I, Fei Guang, are humble and I listen to you ..."

His voice pointed to Jiao and Zhao's family, and Jiao Hen couldn't help but say: "At the beginning we were going to tear it down, but you said it would destroy the array, and I'm afraid it would damage the secret treasures in the array, so we must be cautious when throwing a rat-like weapon!"

Ji Shixiong said: "That's all true, and I never lied. Among the 72 staff members of King Beixiao, the Wu family was the most important, and all the people in Beilu died, but the Wu family's descendants continued. ? Wu Kun must have a rare treasure in his hands, and he probably has the truth about the disappearance of King Beixiao."

"Hmph, that's the same rhetoric again!" Gongsun Bo claimed to be the orthodox descendant of the Dayue royal family, how could he hear such words?Can't help but scold him to confuse the crowd, "King Beixiao, King Beixiao! He's just a traitor who deceived the emperor! What truth can there be for his disappearance? He is also condemned by God! Do you still believe that he can become a fairy? Come here to find Feisheng My secret treasure, what idiots are talking about!"

Ji Shixiong said: "Old Bo calm down, of course I don't believe it, but some people believe it."

Jiao Hen and Zhao Lufu argued together: "Who are you talking about? Who will believe it?!"

"..."

Jiang Baizhou couldn't help laughing, leaned lazily on Longying, and commented: "These families are really fighting each other fiercely, and Dianzhu Ji has the thickest skin and the best pretense."

Long Ying embraced him and said, "Brother, don't be fooled by those named Jiao and Zhao. They seem to be seldom talkative and honest, but they are actually not good people."

"Where's my grandfather?" Jiang Baizhou asked.

Long Ying paused, and said tactfully: "Several parties in Shangcheng District are competing for interests, and each has its own plans, and none of them are good."

"..." Jiang Baizhou understood, but even so, Gongsun Bo was still different from others in his heart. Deep down in his heart, he did not want to believe that his grandfather was a bad person similar to Ji Shixiong.

His feelings for the Gongsun family are not strong, but the word "Gongsun" is like a thin layer of fog in his heart, which is neither painful nor itchy but makes people melancholy.

Continuing to listen to the conversation outside, Ji Shixiong said: "Everyone, the most urgent task is to find the intruder as soon as possible. Wu's formation is the best in the world, and it has never been rumored. Who has the ability to break Wu Kun's formation? No matter whether this person is related to Wu If you have nothing to do with it, you must not be an ordinary person, if you don’t use it for us, it will cause future trouble if you keep it.”

Gongsun Bodao: "The whole city has been sealed off, where can he escape?"

Yan Bi waved his hand: "Continue to search! Dig three feet into the ground and find him!"

Zhao Lufu interrupted suddenly: "Speaking of which, I heard that Mr. Bo closed the ladder tonight without any reason, and the whole city is looking for someone. Who is he looking for?"

Jiao Hen continued: "Is there any unique news about the Gongsun family? Why didn't you tell us?"

Ji Shixiong made a surprised tone and fanned the flames: "Really? I didn't even know."

"..."

These three people's pretentiousness is disgusting, Gongsun Bo said angrily: "My family's private affairs, tell you what to do!"

"Private matter?" Ji Shixiong was puzzled at first, then suddenly realized, and muttered, "Personal matter, could it be related... Oh, forget it, so many years have passed, don't mention it."

When he threw the hook, someone would bite him. Who in the room didn't know that Gongsun Bo's heart disease was his missing son?Everyone wanted to take the opportunity to insert a knife into his wound.

Jiao Hen said: "Who is it related to? Could it be the Second Young Master Shu? Did Mr. Bo find out about him? Really? Congratulations!"

Zhao Lufu also said: "Congratulations!"

"..."

Hearing the sound of "dang" outside, Gongsun Bo slammed his crutches and said in a panic, "You, you!"

The three great aristocratic families are fighting against each other, and he has heard these sarcastic remarks before, but he just learned of Gongsun Shu's death tonight, and the cold ashes are still in his hands. His hands were shaking with anger, and he was speechless.

The accompanying big butler secretly supported him and whispered persuasion.

Ji Shixiong smiled when he saw this: "Why is Mr. Bo unhappy? Could it be that we guessed wrong and you didn't find out about the second son? It shouldn't be. Isn't the Gongsun family going to sea every year to find people? Going deep, after so many years, can't even find a shadow?"

Before Gongsun Bo could respond, Jiang Baizhou's face changed first.

——Gongsun actually chased him to the sea?

Is it because the land is nowhere to be found, so I have to go to sea, or do I go to sea to find it with a purpose?

Had his parents leaked their tracks when they eloped?

Ji Shixiong said again: "The sea is vast and boundless, and the waves are fierce. It is difficult for ordinary boats to go deep. It is indeed hard to find. Recently, Jishumen has built a new boat and is about to launch it. If Mr. Bo needs help, I will fly away." The palace is willing to help you."

"Thank you for the kindness of the Palace Master, but there is no need." Gongsun Bo said coldly, "Let's gossip, let's search for people first!"

The conversation stopped, and the outside became quiet for a while, except for the sound of wind, torches, footsteps, and the clash of armor and weapons when soldiers searched and moved around.

Looking at Jiang Baizhou, Long Ying saw that his eyes were full of suspicion, and his cold face was even colder than usual, so she couldn't help calling: "Brother?"

Jiang Baizhou's tense back loosened, and Long Ying hugged him, and was about to say something to comfort him, when a scream came from outside: "Hallmaster, I found it!"

"What did you find? Let's take a look!"

Two soldiers came over, their footsteps were quite heavy, as if they were lifting something together, and put it heavily under the feet of several masters, only to hear Ji Shixiong say: "Where's the coffin?"

The soldier pointed in one direction: "My lord, it was dug out from Wu Kun's tomb!"

Ji Shixiong stared at the coffin for a few moments and ordered, "Open it."

"Wait a minute." Zhao Lufu stopped him, "It's unlucky to open the coffin of a dead person easily. Since he has already been buried, why should we disturb his sleep?"

Gongsun Bo glanced over, but said nothing.

Ji Shixiong didn't care: "If you want to see people, if you want to see people, if you want to see corpses, how can you know if Wu Kun is really dead if you don't open the coffin? What if there is a fraud?"

The two soldiers obeyed his orders and slowly opened the coffin.

It may be that the coffin lid was too heavy. After lifting it for a while, Jiang Baizhou and Long Ying couldn't see the outside scene. They didn't know what the group of people found. They could only hear the exclamation, and someone sighed: "A lot of gold!"

"Wu Kun looked so poor during his lifetime, how could he be buried with so many treasures?"

"He actually opened his eyes!"

"His eyes seem to be fixed on it... There are words on the coffin lid! No, it's a picture!"

"..."

Long Ying and Jiang Baizhou looked at each other, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

Zhao Lufu stopped the opening of the coffin just now, but now he rushed up first, leaned on the coffin lid and said, "It's a map!" The ruins of King Beixiao are all in this map, and those who open the ruins will be gifted with my king's immortal power. Enjoy boundless wealth', this..."

"Fake." Ji Shixiong interrupted him abruptly, asserting, "It can't be true!"

"..."

Zhao Lufu, Jiao Hen and Gongsun Bo all looked at him: "Why is it impossible? What does Palace Master Ji know?"

Ji Shixiong coughed lightly: "I don't know. But if things go wrong, there must be demons. Wu Kun sits on the ruins of King Beixiao, but he is a mortal. Doesn't this mean that the ruins are useless? We should be careful not to be easily deceived. "

Jiang Baizhou sneered in the dark: "Master Ji himself is obsessed with ghosts, and when he persuades others, he makes sense. It turns out that he has a brain."

Ji Shixiong is obviously not the only one with a brain, and he is not the only one who covets the remains of King Beixiao.

The more he persuaded, the more excited the three were. They immediately sent someone to remove the map from the coffin, and each of them saved one. Whether or not to go treasure hunting will be discussed later, first of all, they must not be left behind.

Jiang Baizhou tugged on Longying's sleeve, and said softly, "Do you feel that this matter is getting more and more wrong?"

Long Ying nodded: "I originally thought that the secret map of King Beixiao was a shocking secret, but it was spread all over the place. I wish everyone would post one, as if not enough people knew about it..."

"Yes, Wildfire, Feiguang Palace, and the three great families all know about it, including you and me." Jiang Baizhou held Long Ying's hand, playing with his fingers unconsciously, and said while pinching, "The more you look at The more it looks like there is a conspiracy, but I want to go even more."
