Kunlun one millet

Chapter 93

Hearing this, Liang Tao's eagle eyebrows were slightly drawn, his falcon eyes were sharp, his figure was like a lone peak standing alone, his tone became colder:
"Zheng Yulou, you are too old-fashioned. I can allow you to say such a crude threat, it is all because of the life-saving kindness of your father and grandfather. The Chongxuan Hall can achieve today's achievements, not because of your Jiujiang Zheng family. Gong, let me advise you—don’t make mistakes.”

Zheng Yulou held the dove stick in his hand, and his resentment was hard to dissipate: "Liang Tao, I can't say something directly because of my past friendship. You should repay the kindness for saving your life today! Your cultivation and mana are much higher than mine, if you want to take my life, you can just flick your fingers, but you should be more aware of this burden than me!"

Liang Tao was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth: "You know that if I intervene, the Zheng family of Jiujiang will abandon themselves in the Chongxuan Hall. You have saved the Zheng family today, but tomorrow wolves, tigers and leopards will swarm you, but it's just a little bit of delay."

Zheng Yulou smiled bitterly: "Liang Tao, we were like-minded back then. Counting Chu Jieyu and Wang Zongran, we worked so hard to settle the Chongxuan Pavilion on Difei Mountain. We old buddies accompany you to sword Choose the ghost caves in the Black Mountain, suppress the monsters in the East China Sea, and watch you climb to the top of the Huaxu Kingdom step by step.

I never thought... Now I have to rely on the old love Thorne's revenge to save my family's life.I'm glad that the two of them left early, so I don't have to see this bleak evening scene today! "

"Zheng Yulou, you are getting old." Liang Tao stared at the other party and said, "The realm of cultivation has been stagnant for many years, and the whole person has become unwilling to make progress. He only wants to guard a family property and enjoy wealth. If that's the case, I'm too lazy to care about it, but you shouldn't be in private contact with Anyang Hou and others."

"You are unkind, and you still blame me for being unrighteous?" Zheng Yulou retorted: "You Liang family has taken advantage of it, how can we not arrange a way out for the children of the family?"

Liang Tao seemed irrefutable, but he just waved his hand lightly: "Okay, there is no need to mention this matter again. Since you asked for it, I will naturally give you an answer."

Zheng Yulou was about to turn around and leave, but he turned his head and said, "Liang Tao, you have changed. Why did the bright and honest Liang Tao back then become so suspicious and suspicious?"

Liang Tao stood in front of the bamboo hall, without saying a word, watching Zheng Yulou leaning on his stick and walking away, his back gradually becoming hunched.

……

Zhao Mi sat upright, closed his eyes and kept his thoughts, inspired the sun to cover the cloth, and the acupoints all over his body were gradually filled with yang harmony, like soaking in hot spring hot water, the dust and dirt all over his body were fumigated by the yang harmony and melted away naturally.

As he was about to achieve perfection, Zhao Shu opened his mouth slightly, and saw a piece of five-color brilliance spit out with his breath, circling and tangling in front of him, but when the five-color brilliance flowed into a talisman, it dissipated and disintegrated, as if it was blocked by some external force.Zhao Mi tried several times but failed, so he resigned and left.

"When did you congeal the Xuanzhu?" Jiang Ru, who had been watching for a long time, couldn't help asking.

"Is this important?" Zhao Mi asked back.

"It's fine if you don't want to say it." Jiang Ru raised her chin and looked away.

"On the eve of leaving Xingluo County." Seeing Jiang Ru's suspicious gaze, Zhao Mi said, "You can cultivate diligently without perishing. If you sense the gods, you will naturally improve. What's so strange about that?"

Jiang Ru said: "The cultivator of the Guanyin congealed the Xuanzhu. This kind of thing should be published in a big book, and even invited his colleagues to congratulate him. In the end, you didn't say anything. Could it be to let others ignore and despise you and predict your cultivation base and mana?" Insufficient, so that you can show off your supernatural powers?"

Zhao Mi looked at Jiang Ru, speechless for a while, couldn't help laughing and said: "What am I trying to do? What is the unfathomable cultivation level of the Xuanzhu? I still have to listen obediently to Liang Guoshi's words. What? Now that I am in the Punishment Court of the Apprehension Department, can I still force my way out?"

A few days ago, under the guidance of Liang Tao, Zhao Shu pacified all the evil spirits in Qing Luoyi, and it happened that the arrest department's personnel arrived later.

When the arresting department saw the corpses on the shore of the ferry and the wine jar in the boat, one can imagine the shock. They couldn't believe that it was Zhao Mi who shot and killed this group of monsters alone.

However, Zhao Mi claimed that Qing Luoyi and the others were spies from the Jiuli Kingdom. The arrest department explained what happened in front of all the officials.

The arrest department's action is in line with the laws and regulations of the Huaxu Kingdom, and it is beyond reproach, but Zhao Mi is not an ordinary person. This matter involves Jinding Department and Chongxuanguan. He and Jiang Ru were placed in the Punishment Court.

The Court of Rewards and Punishments is a residence for monks who have not been convicted of a crime. Although there is no shortage of daily necessities inside, the entire courtyard is covered by a forbidden formation, and it is difficult for the monks in it to cast spells. .

It was rare for Zhao Mi to stay in the Reward and Punishment Court for the past few days. Except for the chief of the arrest department who came to visit and inquire every day, outsiders were not allowed to meet Zhao Mi.

"I suspect that you hid in the arrest department on purpose," Jiang Ru said.

"Oh?" Zhao Mi had a look of indifference on his face.

Jiang Ru got up and picked up a pot of boiling tea, fiddled with the cups and said, "I didn't understand it at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, all your preparations before the fight, in fact, you have already expected that Qing Luoyi was from the Jiuli Kingdom. wrong?"

Zhao Mi said: "I just think that with Zheng Tunan's heart and Jiujiang Zheng's status, even if there is a grudge against me, there is no need to use the trick of assassination. Suppose I really die in Jibao Pavilion, the court It must be investigated to the end, Jiujiang Zheng's suspicion is serious, and it will not benefit them at all.

At that time, Liang Guoshi will not be able to come out to protect him, and maybe he will treat Mrs. Zheng as an abandoned son in order to preserve the status of Chongxuan Pavilion.Unless Liang Guoshi intends to completely tear his face apart, massacre both inside and outside the court, and even establish a new king. "

Speaking of this, Jiang Ru paused, and almost dropped the teapot in her hand. Seeing her like this, Zhao Shu said, "Look, you have close contacts with Liang Guoshi in the Chongxuan Pavilion, and you don't even know about it. , I guess Liang Guoshi did not have such preparations. This proves that the Zheng family of Jiujiang did not intend to kill me, and Zheng Tunan did not have the courage, because he must know that he alone cannot deal with me."

Jiang Ru poured a cup of boiling hot tea for Zhao Mi, and put it in front of him: "But why do you think that Jiuli Kingdom is going to deal with you?"

"Because the imperial court recently asked the Jinding Division to refine the magic pills, almost all of which are used to drive away snakes and insects and ward off plague and miasma. The quantity required is so large that the staff in the division must be rotated day and night, non-stop." Zhao Shu said. : "What kind of opponent do you think makes the imperial court urgently need these spell pills?"

"In Jiuli Kingdom, miasma, snakes and insects permeate the mountains and fields, and it is something that the Wuzhu Gu masters of Jiuli are good at manipulating." Jiang Ru sighed: "Recently, the imperial court has made frequent moves, setting up the Jinding Division, and preparing to build a new army, Jiuli Kingdom It is impossible to be unaware. Faced with such a situation, instead of fighting resolutely on the battlefield, it is better to assassinate the important officials of Huaxu Kingdom's court first, so as to disrupt the situation and give Jiuli Kingdom a chance to prepare for war."

Zhao Mi pointed to himself with a thumbs up: "And I am so alive that I happen to be sitting in this key position. The other court ministers are either difficult to deal with, or killing them is useless. And as long as the assassination is successful, I, Jinding The deacon, Huaiyingguan Sanqing, died at the hands of the eldest son of the Zheng family in Jiujiang, guess what will happen next?"

Jiang Ru's complexion changed slightly: "Are they trying to provoke a dispute in the Huaxu Kingdom?"

"The dispute in the hall is not necessarily, but the turmoil in the court is inevitable." Zhao Mi tapped his knee, looking a little dazed: "The teacher may not necessarily avenge me, he guesses... the country's stability will still be the priority. "

Jiang Ru looked at Zhao Mi with astonishment in her eyes, Zhao Mi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, and asked, "What?"

"Zhang Shouzuo is your mentor. If you were assassinated by Zheng Tunan, how could he turn a blind eye?" Jiang Ru was puzzled, and she even wondered if Zhao Mi and his apprentice were suffering from some serious illness.

"Whatever I can think of, the teacher can definitely think of it." Zhao Mi looked at Jiang Ru: "Besides, my father died at the hands of Chongxuan Hall."

"What did you say?!" Jiang Ru suddenly stood up.

"Don't be nervous." Zhao Mi shook his teacup and took a sip: "My father was a suspicious soldier and led the army of the Xiong Kingdom to the Mirage Valley, which made the Chongxuan Pavilion masters use the method to attract the flood and wipe out the enemy army in one fell swoop. And he was also buried in it... Seeing you like this, it seems like this is the first time you have heard of this?"

Jiang Ru's jaw trembled slightly: "The person who used spells to divert the flood... is, is the first."

Zhao Mi froze, then slowly put down the teacup, nodded and said: "That's right, besides Liang Guoshi, who else has such magic power?"

"Then... what are your plans?" Jiang Ru became inexplicably nervous.

"Plan? No plan." Zhao Mi sat up cross-legged: "I just expected that there might be a mess in the court, and hiding in the arrest department might be able to relax for a while. When those big men clarify, someone will naturally ask I'm going out. You are different from me, if you want to leave, just tell Captain Lu, and I probably won't stop you."

"No!" Jiang Ru shook her head quickly, as if she was greatly confused: "This is not right!"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Mi raised an eyebrow.

"Is your heart made of stone?" Jiang Ru finally lost her composure and shouted: "Liang Tao killed your father, don't you have the slightest hatred?! And why do you think that Zhang Duanjing will be like you, right? You turn a blind eye to your familiarity?! Are both of you master and apprentice so cold and ruthless?!"

Zhao Mi blinked again and again, he didn't deliberately provoke Jiang Ru, he didn't expect that the other party would change so suddenly, and he was scolded for a moment.

In the end, Jiang Ru turned around and took a deep breath to calm down.

"I don't think I'm cold and heartless, and it's not like you haven't seen me lose my temper." Zhao Mi looked up to the sky and sighed, "As for saying hate...it's useless to hate, and I can't beat the master of the national teacher. If that's the case, why bother?" Like Zheng Tunan, write all your thoughts on your face? And it's not the teacher like me, but I'm learning from the teacher. My father is also his student, he can bear it, why can't I?"

"This is revenge for killing my father, can such a thing be tolerated?" Jiang Ru felt that it was ridiculous.

"This is not revenge for killing my father." Zhao Mi's face became gloomy: "I think you have lived a good life under the protection of Chongxuan Pavilion for too long, and you have completely forgotten how miserable the five kingdoms war was. Since my father If you throw yourself into the battlefield, it is impossible to guarantee that you will return with your whole body.

There is no room for personal enmity on the battlefield, not to mention the same thing, do you think I have never experienced it?I just know that there are priorities.The war between Huaxu and Jiuli is about to resume. If the court officials continue to argue and bite each other over the assassination, it is the provocation of Jiuli. "

Jiang Ru turned around: "Since you can calculate so clearly, why did you get assassinated? Aren't immortal cultivators good at avoiding disasters? The case of Jibao Pavilion can be regarded as your disaster."

Zhao Mi was not angry, and spread his hands together: "I have said that Ningji Xuanzhu is not a high-level cultivation. I am not a Taoist and immortal family. It is impossible to predict everything in advance. I just figured out what I said after the fact. of.

It's just that I figured it out earlier than you, so I can be fully prepared when facing Qing Luoyi.This is also a part of monk fighting skills. I don't have the physique of a swordsman, and I don't have the ability to swing a sword around when encountering evil spirits. "

"You—" Jiang Ru heard that Zhao Mi was mocking herself again, her brows raised, and she was about to get angry.

"But I suspect that your Liang Guoshi really expected this." Zhao Mi interrupted Jiang Ru angrily.

"Why do you say that?" Jiang Ru asked.

Zhao Mi smiled: "Isn't this obvious enough? I was assassinated the night before, and the next day all kinds of news inside and outside Dongsheng Capital were still in chaos. Liang Guoshi sent you to invite me to intercept Qing Luoyi and others. The timing was perfect.

Moreover, he also entrusted Qing Luoyi and others to me to deal with, which is obviously because he has long anticipated the subsequent development of the situation.If, as Jiuli Guo expected, someone in the DPRK intends to use Zheng Tunan to participate in the assassination of Jibao Pavilion and involve the entire Chongxuan Pavilion. If Liang Guoshi wants to clear up the suspicion, the best way is to help me, who was assassinated The victim personally killed the monster from the enemy country. "

Jiang Ru suddenly came to a realization in her heart. She remembered that she had reported to Liang Tao about the process of snooping news in the ghost market.Thinking back now, I am afraid that Liang Tao had expected that Qing Luoyi would murder Zhao Mi, and he had already started to prepare.

"You think I'm scheming, but you don't know that Liang Guoshi has counted me in this time." Zhao Mi scratched his head and said, "Although I personally dealt with the Qing Luoyi gang this time, in the final analysis, I still rely on Liang Guoshi. help.

After I vented my anger, I immediately understood this point. Liang Guoshi not only easily dismissed the suspicion of Chongxuan Pavilion, but also made me owe something.As long as I come to the arrest department to explain what happened, Liang Guoshi will be in an invincible position. Now I am afraid that everyone in the court thinks that I can kill demons and evils only with Liang Guoshi's guidance. "

Jiang Ru didn't understand: "Why does the chief want you to owe him something?"

Zhao Mi put his hands behind his head: "Then I don't know... If you are free, ask him for me?"
