C164 "[164]" Moral
Not long later, Lan Er and Qiong Yu once again returned to Gongsun Ze Tian's room.
"Qiong Yu, tell me honestly, did you see anyone today?" Gongsun Ztian went straight to the point.
"This ?" Qiong Yu did not speak, she only lowered her head, like a child who had made a mistake.
"You ? Are you talking!? " Gongsun Ztian urged somewhat anxiously.
"Pavilion Master, I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again!" Qiong Yu kneeled on the ground again, and admitted his mistake as he spoke.
"You're so fucking dumb!" Gongsun Zaitian was truly speechless from her actions, he had already started cursing at her.
"Alright, stop talking!" Big Sister Qiong Yu, you should already know the reason why he came here, and there's no need for you to continue concealing it! " Leng Nuohan tried to smooth things over. She first told Gongsun Zaitian to stop pursuing the matter, then patiently explained to Qiong Yu.
"Pavilion Master, I did see that beast master of mine and his wife today, but I know that I do not have the ability to take revenge, so all I can do is wait!" Qiong Yu was not stupid, after thinking for a while, he started to confess.
"Bullsh * t, we're just not going to kill them, they won't be let off that easily!" Gongsun Zaitian was simply forced out of his temper by this woman. He had no choice but to get angry.
"But we can't find them now either!" Qiong Yu said with a bit of grievance.
"Humph, the monks can escape, but the temple cannot!" Gongsun Ztian said with a disdainful look on his face.
"Pavilion Master, do you know where they are?" Qiong Yu raised her head and asked suspiciously.
"Sister Qiong Yu, you should stand up and speak first. Wu Chi said that they would hold the banquet at the Situ Family's residence, but why he was so confident, I do not know the specifics." After Leng Nuohan helped Qiong Yu up, he continued to speak.
"The reason is simple, you once said that your master's wife had already joined a large force, and now that the top powers in Fengyang City have received the invitation, and they are currently in the south of the city, I think they must be going to Situ Family to participate in the banquet as well." Gongsun Ztian smiled as he explained.
"But he might be just strolling around!" Lan Er asked with a puzzled expression.
"Do you think anyone would loiter around in an armory?" Gongsun Ztian asked.
Then, Gongsun Ztian continued to explain, "Even if they are not afraid of the consequences, they still have to consider it. Once the City Guards arrive here to question their identity, it will probably be troublesome. So at that time, if an ordinary person were to immediately leave the south side of the city and continue towards the center of the city, there would only be one answer, and that would be to come to Situ Family to participate in the banquet! "
"Qiong Yu, do you know what kind of power this master's wife of yours is in now?" Leng Nuohan asked Qiong Yu.
"It looks like the Blood Illusion Valley!" Qiong Yu thought about it and replied.
"Blood Illusion Valley? Haha, what a coincidence! "This is too narrow of a path for enemies to walk!" When Gongsun Zaitian heard this name, he felt delighted in his heart.
The reason for his happiness was simple. In his previous life, during the family meeting that he just awakened, he knew that the reason why his body fainted at that time was all because of that young valley master of the Blood Illusion Valley. It seemed that the heavens wanted him to seek revenge on them one by one, but he actually jumped out one by one like a cockroach. He couldn't not slap them to death even if he didn't want to.
Everyone on the scene was laughed out loud by Gongsun Zaitian, making them feel like they were surrounded by clouds and mountains, making them unable to understand what was happening. Especially when they heard Gongsun Zaitian say 'enemies are on the narrow path', they became even more puzzled. It must be known that Situ Wuchi was only five years old at the moment, and he probably hadn't had a chance to leave Master's sight in the past five years, so how could she possibly have a grudge with the young valley master of the Blood Illusion Valley?
"In the martial arts world of the Honglong Empire, there are three top powers, namely the Sword League, the Blood Illusion Valley and the Dreamscape Villa. Of these three powers, two of the factions mainly cultivate illusions, and the Blood Illusion Valley is one of them. The most notorious event would be this Blood Illusion Valley, and I have some connections with the young master of the Blood Illusion Valley. " Gongsun Ztian said. However, no one could tell that the word 'origin' meant anything. Instead, it gave people the feeling that their hatred was as deep as the sea.
"But, then if we make a move on those two, wouldn't that mean that we have a falling out with the Blood Illusion Valley?" Qiong Yu asked worriedly. Although she wanted to take revenge, she did not want to involve Listening Rain Pavilion and the pavilion master in front of her, Gongsun Ze Tian.
"Idiot, although our Listening Rain Pavilion has developed quite well, but compared to these few forces, we are still lacking. However, this does not mean that we are afraid of them. Besides, why do you want to show the flag against the enemy? You have to understand the principle of 'thousand enemies, eight hundred casualties'. So what we need to do is to let them fight with the others, and we will reap the rewards. " Gongsun Ztian scolded with a smile.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, there was no need to fight to the death with the other party. The best course of action would be for them to fight and watch. It was like watching a live broadcast of a movie.
"But since we're in such a hurry, how are we supposed to execute it?" Leng Nuohan thought about it and decided to pour her a bowl of cold water.
"Indeed, Pavilion Master, the banquet is about to begin. Even if we were to prepare now, it would be too late!" Qiong Yu said in agreement.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble this time. Just watch and see!" Gongsun Zaitian said confidently.
After carefully examining the letter, Wu Daode then returned the letter to the Duke's envoy. Then, he brought the envoy to one of the large chests and ordered Qian Jincheng to open the chest for the envoy to inspect.
Qian Jincheng obediently opened the seal on the box, and used the key to open the lock. After that, he opened the box and showed the two of them the neat and white 'silver'. At the same time, he took out an ingot of 'silver' from the box. However, when he jumped down from the car, he took advantage of the fact that the two of them were not paying attention and secretly swapped out a piece of 'True Silver'.
"That's right, no problem!" The envoy weighed the silver in his hand and felt the weight of the silver. He also bit his teeth and confirmed that there were no problems with the silver.
"Then leave these goods to the lord!" Wu Daode said.
"I want to see the other boxes of silver!" The envoy did not immediately agree to set off. Instead, he went through the boxes to verify the authenticity of the silver taels.
The envoy threw the piece of True Silver back to Qian Jincheng, and Qian Jincheng replaced it with the original tin ingot. After placing the 'Silver' back into the box, he then sealed the box and gave the entire key to the envoy.
The envoy did not hand over the key, but indicated for Qian Jincheng to continue opening the box to check. Just as Qian Jincheng was about to open the chest again to check, he saw a large black mass of people running frantically towards the direction of decimetine.
Seeing this scene, the envoy subconsciously felt that he had been fooled. He was worried that the army would arrive, and when that happened, it would be hard for him to escape. Thus, the envoy reached out and grabbed Wu Daode by the throat, and said angrily: "Wu Daode, you sold out the Duke, I'm going to kill you!"
"Big... Humans, big ? My lord, it's a mistake. "Yes, yes ?" Wu Daode spat out these words with great difficulty. He was also completely befuddled by this situation, and even he did not understand the situation, what could he explain to this envoy?
"Lord, it's a misunderstanding. We really did not betray you!" said. He had received Qiu Canghai's order to not let this trash, Wu Daode, die just like that, it was letting him off too easily. Although Qian Jincheng was currently afraid, he still had to speak up to defend Wu Daode.
"Then how do you explain all this?" The messenger pointed at the approaching black mass of people. The dozens of black clothed guards he brought along also drew their sabers, waiting for the leader to give the order to attack.
But at this time, they couldn't easily go down. The surrounding area was flat land, and if they went down now, under the situation that they didn't have enough motivation, they would be surrounded by thousands of people.
"Master, look carefully at those people. They are not troops, they are just refugees!" Qian Jincheng continued to speak as he pointed to the black mass of people below.
At this time, Wu Daode's face had already turned green, his eyes were already starting to turn white, if this person used even a little bit of strength, he would be dead.
"You, go take a look!" The emissary did not believe the words of the man in front of him, but he did not want his master to carry the title of being a vile character. If word were to spread out that a person who had pledged allegiance to his prince died in such a manner, no official would be willing to serve him in the future.
"My lord, they are the local refugees. They have all kinds of agricultural tools in their hands. The formation they are running in is a mess and definitely does not look like soldiers!" The person that went to investigate ran back to report.
"Hehe, Sir Wu, I'm sorry, but I'm too nervous. However, with so many refugees suddenly arriving, Sir would like to have an explanation with us!" The envoy's previous vicious expression changed as he released the hand that was holding onto Wu Daode's throat.
"Cough ?" "Cough ?" "Ugh ?" "Whoosh... whoosh..." Emissary, I really do not know about this, but as long as I know a little, I will not hide it from you! " Wu Daode coughed and retched, he gasped for breath, after much effort he recovered, he immediately tried to explain.
"But you want me to charge out with dozens of men and five hundred thousand silver taels in such a big battle formation?" Do you think this joke is funny? " The envoy sarcastically said.
While the two were speaking, the thousands of refugees completely surrounded decimetine. They did not attack him, but instead shouted in unison at the foot of the slope: "Wu Daode, you big dog official, you would rather sell your food to evil merchants than give them a grain. Return my food, return my food! "
"Aiyo, my Lord Wu, I was looking for revenge on you!" This humble one will not be accompanying you then! " The envoy spoke with a bit of schadenfreude to Wu Daode, and the sarcasm in his words was extremely strong.
The envoy looked at Wu Daode's ashen face, and did not think much of it. He did not care about Wu Daode's life, as long as he did not die in his hands. The messenger walked over to the edge of the slope and said in a clear voice to the thousands of refugees below, "I do not know this person, but I have some business dealings with him. I would like to request that you make way for us to leave. As for that dog of yours, how about it?"
"Fine, you can leave. Leave your things behind, I know those boxes are all our food. That dog-officer traded with you, you are not a good person, you are a cunning merchant." One of the refugees said, but it was hard to find anyone in the black mass who said it.
"This ?" The envoy immediately broke out in a cold sweat. His goal was the five hundred thousand taels of silver. If he were to return empty-handed, it would be strange if the king did not strip him of his skin.
"Master, what should we do?" A black robed receiver whispered in his ear.
"If we really can't do it, we can only fight our way out. I don't believe that they aren't afraid of death!" The envoy said fiercely.
