Under the sky

Chapter 150

When Gao Leqi entered, Tucker was sitting on the bed, holding a glass of wine in his hand, pointing to the edge of the bed and saying: "Sit." After saying that, he stood up and poured a glass of wine for Gao Leqi, and walked up with the wine bottle and glass. Come.

Gao Leqi could tell from Tucker's tipsy cheeks that he had drank a lot.

"What's Arien's order?" Gao Leqi sat on the edge of the bed and took the wine from Tucker.

"I want to knock down Gulthas," Tucker said.

"What's in this wine?" Gao Leqi quickly put down the glass and asked in surprise, "Are you poisoned?"

"I saw the true God today..." Tucker played with the wine glass and looked at the clear dark red liquid in the glass.

"What did you eat?" Gao Leqi was more sure that Tucker had food poisoning. He didn't look drunk. "Did you eat poisonous mushrooms or barbarian drugs?"

"Son of Sa God, I met Sa God's son." Tucker said, "Don't worry about me, I didn't eat anything, I just wanted to take risks."

Gao Leqi still firmly believed that Arien was poisoned: "Where did you see the son of God Sa? In the sky? Do you feel like you are riding on the clouds, floating up to the blue sky inadvertently, and seeing the Son of God in the sky?"

"It's in a brick house." Tucker said with a smile, but he couldn't hide his trembling.

This tremor made Gao Leqi realize that Tucker was serious.

"Arian, can you explain this more clearly?"

"His name is Yang Yan. He is a Han nationality. He comes from the Pass. He has a pair of flaming eyes, the same as those recorded in the Shengyan Navado. He followed a Huo Miaozi named Nadia out of the Pass." Tucker said, "He is Son of God Sa!"

Gao Leqi seemed to understand, but he felt that the idea was too absurd and bizarre: "I'm still very confused, Arien, don't drink anymore. If you keep drinking, I will be even more confused."

"Gulthas has the power to interpret God, so he is the highest authority. We cannot resist him." Tucker said, "What if this power belongs to me? What if the power to interpret the Tengges Sutra belongs to me? Where’s your hand?”

"Gulthas must also surrender to me."

"It's easy to understand. You can easily catch wild birds by flying higher than them. The problem is that you can't do it." Gao Leqi knew his Arien, and his kneeling was never voluntary. He was addicted to women, wine and food. It's because he's too bored.

"I have wings now, but I don't know how to wave them, so I need your help." Tucker grabbed Golachi's hand and almost spilled the wine on him.

"Don't eat food of unknown origin, lest you fall to death." Gao Leqi said.

"I really hope you can see that person right away. His name is Yang Yan." Tucker said, "But Gulthas is monitoring him. I want you to check for me. I want to know if Yang Yan is telling the truth. Really, how can we get him out of the sheep dung pile without alarming Gulthas."

Gao Leqi was really fed up with this drunken Arion. Although Tucker had been drunk many times and often talked nonsense, even when he was the drunkest, he had never made such bold remarks.

He patiently listened to Tucker explain what happened today, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became.He knew that he was about to get involved in a terrible thing, which was called fighting against Gulthas, the most powerful and wise man in Nabu Badu.

"If you tell me what I said to you today, I will be dead." Tucker held Colachi's hand tightly, "I believe you are my brother."

Brother... the traitor Mu'en Arion sank his brother to the bottom of the river with his own hands...

Gao Leqi began to calculate the odds. What benefits could he get?
"Gulthas is very old," he said. "I won't be surprised if the death knell rings in the priesthood tomorrow morning."

"That will only be worse!" Tucker shouted loudly, "Gul will at least pretend to respect me, Hillidger? Do you know what he thinks of me? That contempt...he can't even pretend!"

Hilidegg is the successor of Gulthas, and he is very good. Of course, this excellence cannot be compared with Gulthas.He always showed contempt for Tucker.

"Hilidege is not young," Gao Leqi said. "Gulthas likes young people. Maybe in a few years he will not be the first choice heir, and there will be a better heir."

"Are you willing to help me?" Tucker asked again.

Gao Leqi thought for a while and said: "I will check this matter. Don't be too reckless, Arien, and don't drink anymore. If you say something you shouldn't say, you can only pray to God Sa to come and save you. ”

Tucker laughed and filled a large glass of wine for Gao Leqi: "After you finish this glass, I won't drink it."

Gao Leqi drank it all in one gulp.

Back in the room, Gao Leqi lay on the bed thinking about how to proceed.The maid Zhao Ying lay down beside the bed, untied her hair, opened her clothes, and climbed onto his chest half naked. Gao Leqi gently stroked Zhao Ying's black hair.

That Yang Yan...how should we check him?Baduli is full of Gulthas' spies.

First of all, this matter is not easy to tell. If someone is sent to investigate, should we tell that person the truth?If you say it clearly, there will be an additional risk of leaking the secret. Gu Lie has learned from the past, and if you don't explain it clearly, there is still a risk of leaking the secret.Gulthas is right, the disaster caused by ignorance is not relatively small, and without a sense of confidentiality, clues may be inadvertently revealed.

Of course, you need to find a few confidants. At this position, who doesn’t have a few confidants?But this is still nonsense. Everyone who betrays you is a confidant. Who would yell about the serious matter of beheading to someone who is not a confidant?Besides, sometimes the news leaks out without anyone betraying it.

Now was not the time to find a confidant, but he really didn't want to go to a place like a sheep dung pile. Just passing by would be blinded by the smell inside, not to mention having to change into tattered clothes, let his hair down, and apply smear on his body. Stinking sheep blood.

Oh my god... Gao Leqi's whole body was shaking just by thinking about it.Wait, that's because Zhao Ying is biting his earlobe.

What if you are spotted?Gao Leqi thought to himself, after all, he was the chief political officer and knew a lot of people. There were quite a few people on the road from the palace to the sheep dung pile.

He pushed Zhao Ying away: "Help me find some tattered clothes, they need to be dirty."

"What kind of fun do you want, sir?" Zhao Ying's face changed when she heard this, "Do you want me to pretend to be a slave?"

"I pretend to be a slave, and you pretend to be a slave owner." Gao Leqi said with a smile, "You are the one with the whip."

"I don't believe it." Zhao Ying said, "The adults don't even wear rags."

Gao Leqi no longer had any doubts and said with a smile: "That's right." He pulled Zhao Ying down on the bed, turned over and pressed her on her, and kissed her while asking: "Have you ever been to a sheep dung pile?"

■

The next day, Zhao Ying came to the palace kitchen and said that the consul wanted to eat some fresh vegetables and she wanted to choose them and ask for a carriage.Gao Leqi put on his hat and shabby civilian clothes, and ordered his guards to be grooms.The guards were surprised by the consul's dress. Gao Leqi only said that he wanted to know more about civilian life.

The guard looked surprised, but he did not continue to ask questions and drove the carriage out of the palace.

Will the guard doubt himself?Will Zhao Ying betray herself?Will your actions attract attention?Gao Leqi thought to himself: "If I silence them when I get back, will it attract attention again?"

Forget about the coachman, Zhao Ying is the recently favored maid, and she would be reluctant to kill her.

God, how could anyone think this is easy?Now that one party knows that one party is monitoring, the other party must avoid monitoring.If he hadn't avoided it, others would have said that Gao Leqi was a big fool. If he had avoided it, it would be Gultha's turn to be the fool.There are always people who want to be fools in this world, and those who watch from a distance are always the smartest, because their simple minds take everything for granted, and they can casually point to history books and say that General Yu is a fool.

Gollach began to blame Tucker for dragging him into danger.It's better to betray Tucker. Well, let Tucker be a big fool and change the title of his ancestor. From now on, he will be Fish Yalian Tucker, and he will be Gao Leqi, the betrayer.

The carriage stopped at the market. Gao Leqi asked Zhao Ying to wait in the carriage and got off alone.The guards were worried about his safety, but he declined.After all, he had also learned some martial arts, and the stench of a sheep manure pile was more likely to kill him than a bandit on the street in broad daylight.

What the hell is this place... Gao Leqi thought as he entered the sheep dung pile.The dirty ground, privately slaughtered prey, the faint smell of blood mixed with the strong smell of sourness and decay, the so-called roads are just messy gaps between tents, and hanging outside... What kind of cloth is that?It can't be... Sa God, no, how can you call Sa God just because you see this dirt?Sa God forgive me...oh my God...I need to calm down.

Why does this kind of place exist in Nabu Batu?Well, he should exist, and he shouldn't be driven away.Tolerating the survival of the poor is the magnanimity of a metropolitan city and the discretion of its rulers.

Walking through three tent areas that were barely considered streets, Gao Leqi saw the stall selling goat milk in the distance.He ducked his head to avoid recognition and walked around to the back of the tent.

He found the tent with the bell hanging there, made sure that no one was paying attention around it, and opened the back curtain of the tent where the goat milk salesman couldn't see it. There was a crack under the back curtain that was pinned with a row of twisted rusty needles.

Are they all rusty sewing needles?Is this how Yang Yan avoided surveillance and went to the hunting ground to meet Tucker?good.Cut a crack in the back of the tent, enter and exit through this crack, avoid the watcher at the front door, and then return quietly.

Gao Leqi removed the needle, and the people inside seemed to notice him and removed the needle.When the crack was barely high enough for half a person, Gao Leqi stepped into the tent.

He saw a pair of flaming eyes, and indeed, as Tucker said, they were like the flaming eyes of Sri Yanabhata.

He felt his heartbeat quicken.

The fiery-eyed man made a silencing gesture to signal him to be quiet, and took back the rusty iron needle in his hand.He treated these rusty needles as carefully as if they were made of gold.

"My name is Yang Yan. There is someone sent by Gulthas to monitor me at the door." Yang Yan held the rusty needle in his hand and asked, "Who are you?" "Gao Leqi, the chief consul of Arien. " Gao Leqi took out a handkerchief sprinkled with perfume and covered his nose, finally able to breathe smoothly.He really wanted to tie the handkerchief around his face and tie it in a knot at the back of his head to make it easier to talk, but he felt that this move was too impolite and unseemly.

...What kind of dignity do you need in a sheep dung pile?
"Oh?" Yang Yan looked at Gao Leqi, "I knew Arien would send someone here, but I didn't expect it would be you."

"I need to confirm." Gao Leqi stooped and walked towards the tent door. He saw the woman's clothes.

He has a woman?Yes, it's the woman named Nadia.Gao Leqi thought, this is good, it will be a bargaining chip.It is said that he is from Guan Nei, and I don't know what tricks those cunning Nine Families will come up with. Maybe this person is an undercover agent sent by the Nine Families.

If Gulthas can send people in, of course the Nine Families can also send people out.

The affairs within the customs are all the responsibility of the Priesthood, and he knows too little.Gao Leqi wanted to lie down and observe the monitor outside the tent, but the ground made his chest and thighs hurt.

After only half a day, he missed the soft bed in the palace...

He looked at the man for a long time, so long that Yang Yan felt impatient. "What do you want to see?" Yang Yan asked, "Do you suspect that I lied to you?"

"If that person is really sent by Gulthas to monitor you, why doesn't he kill you?" Gao Leqi sat up straight.He still couldn't tell whether the person outside was really spying on Yang Yan, so he took what Yang Yan said seriously.

"I heard that you are the smartest person under Arien." Yang Yan asked, "Guess why?"

"Are you really the son of God Sa?" Gao Leqi asked.

"It can be true or it can be false." Yang Yan replied, "I am alone and nothing. I follow Gulthas, that is."

Of course Gao Leqi understood, but he had another question: "You should know that in the five great Baduli, Sasi's power is still higher than that of Arien. Since Gursasi wants you, why don't you follow him? , Don’t want to endure hardship?”

"Gulthas wants to tame me, but I don't want to be a dog." Yang Yan replied.

Oops, this is the most annoying answer.Gao Leqi understood that people who were unwilling to be dogs were the most dangerous. If he was not willing to be the son of the Sa god that Gulthas held in his hands, what conditions could Arien give him?He asked: "What do you want? Dignity? Power?"

"Freedom and revenge." Yang Yan replied, "I want you to help me get revenge."

"Who is your enemy?" Gao Leqi asked, "Gulsas can't help you take revenge?"

"Nine families. Huashan Yan Feixi, beggar gang Xu Fangge, and stinky wolf Peng Qianqi." Yang Yan answered.

"It sounds a bit far." Gao Leqi spread his hands, "Why don't you ask for a shrine, a thousand women and a golden mountain?"

"I know you have a secret passage and a heroic path, and I can go back by myself." Yang Yan said, "So I want another thing - the Vulcan Scroll."

"Scroll of Oath of Fire?" Gao Leqi was stunned, "If you can learn it successfully, you can become the son of God Sa without those eyes of fire."

There was another thing that Gao Leqi didn't say. That was something only the Priesthood and Arien Palace knew.Why is the Scroll of the Oath of Fire so legendary? It is said that only Salha Jin has mastered it for thousands of years, and it is enough to be called the son of the God of Sal?
Because it is truly a martial art that only the chosen ones can learn.

"In addition, regarding freedom." Yang Yan continued, "Nadia's parents and younger brother are slaves of Gulthas, and they must be redeemed first."

"I only have these conditions. The power of Gulthas comes from the god Sa Si. Sa Si is the messenger of God. Only the son of God can compete with him. If Arien wants to challenge the House of Priests, you need me to speak for you. "

"Give me the Vulcan God Scroll, and I will help you until the day I master the Vulcan God Scroll. Then you can't stop me even if you want to stay. I want you to give me people, give me money, give me strength, and help I take revenge."

"Then I will leave and hand the power back to Arien."

Will he be so easy to control?Gao Leqi pondered.A person who doesn't want to be a dog will often want to stand taller than a person.

"Gulthas can do everything you want," Gao Leqi said.

"The owner is willing to give the dog food and play with the dog when the owner is happy." Yang Yan replied, "But the owner never cares about what the dog wants to do."

At this time, Gao Leqi didn't know the extent of Yang Yan's distrust and disgust towards power.There are many things Yang Yan wants to do, including revenge and rescuing Wei'er.Yang Yan didn't believe that Gulthas would do these things for him. The overall situation in the eyes of these people was to ask others to sacrifice for them.Gulthas would only let Yang Yan do what he wanted, because in Gulthas' eyes, Yang Yan was the dog that Wang Hong picked up for him, so he tried to tame it.

Gao Leqi looked at the young man.Can you believe it?If this young man is a scheming person, can Tucker and himself control him?
He was worried. If he was out of control like a stray wild horse, what kind of harm would it bring to Tucker?
Maybe you shouldn't take risks on him, Gurthas is already very old.No matter how difficult it is to deal with the chief priest of Hilideg, it will not be more difficult to deal with than Gulthas or the son of the god Sa.

To put it another way, if you don't trust this person, then you have to find a way to kill him.Tucker...no disrespect intended, Tucker is a fool, he has shown his ambition in front of this man, if this man defectes to Gulthas and leaks the secret, Tucker will die.

It's best to do it here. He has a short knife in his arms to distract Yang Yan and cut his throat from behind.

Gao Leqi crossed his chest with his hands, pretending to be deep in thought, put his hand under his clothes, and held the short knife tightly.

"Is that man still outside the tent?" he asked, "He won't eavesdrop on us, right?"

Yang Yan turned around, lowered his body and looked through the slit: "It's still there, don't worry, they don't dare to come close."

This is a good opportunity, but the tent is too small. What will happen if Yang Yan struggles, or misses a hit, or even blood flows outside the tent, alerting the monitors outside?His identity will definitely be exposed.This is too risky.It's more risky than agreeing to Yang Yan.

Gao Leqi let go of the short knife in his arms.

"I understand, I will consider how to do it, it is not easy." Gollach said.

"Next time I come here, choose the evening. Wang Hong... I mean Nadia will be there. She is more capable." Yang Yan said.

Gao Leqi followed the original route and returned to Arien Palace to see Tucker.

"He is not someone who is easy to control." Gao Leqi informed Tucker of his observation, "Send Gulthas away and exchange him for a son of the Sa god. Your situation has not changed."

"Am I someone who is easy to control?" Tucker roared.If the guards had not been dismissed, even the people in the corridor would have heard these words, "My son, my grandson, all the descendants of Mün will be suppressed by the priesthood?"

"It's already better than Arien of Atulebatu." Gao Leqi replied.

"No, this problem is easy." Tucker said, "We use Yang Yan to get rid of Gulthas, and then we get rid of Yang Yan. It's that simple."

Gao Leqi started to have a headache. Did he drink too much last night?It turns out that hangovers don’t only occur in the morning, but can also occur in the evening.

"Gao Leqi, you must help me." Tucker held his hand tightly again, and there was warmth in his palm, and...his hands were sweaty.

"If you lose, you die! If you win, the Ban family will take back power. Gao Leqi, your family will also be glorious! You even have the power to write history books!" Tucker said.

Gao Leqi could not refuse this willful Arien.In fact, Tucker is not too willful. He indulges in sex in a restrained manner and leaves political affairs to himself. He is not a bad Arien.

"I know, I will do my best. This is not for my family, but for Arien." Gao Leqi withdrew his hand and secretly wiped it on his sleeve twice while Tucker was not paying attention.

Gao Leqi thought about how to formulate a plan and picked up Yang Yan under Gursas's eyes.How many people did Gulthas send to monitor Yang Yan?As long as Yang Yan walks out of the tent, someone will repay him immediately, or should he let it go?
Gulthas wants to tame Yang Yan, and he will want Yang Yan to suffer, preferably unable to survive in Nabu Batu. Well, this seems to take some time.Gulthas has always been patient. Logically speaking, the older the person is, the less time he has. But for some reason, the older he is, the more patient he is.

Gao Leqi was still young and had not figured this out, nor did he intend to.It's definitely not possible to meet Yang Yan multiple times. It's best to consider all plans the next time you meet.If there is a third meeting, it will be when Yang Yan is sent to the position of the son of God Sa.

He thought that Gulthas was about to gather the five big buses to show the results of his assassins sent to the pass.It is unwise to rely on a newly arrived son of the Sa god to challenge Gurthas. The Priest House is in charge of the classics. They have the right to interpret the will of the Sa god. Gurthas must also recognize Yang Yan.

It took him seven days to make all the plans before going to see Yang Yan, and this time he finally met Nadia.

She is a smart and beautiful girl, of Han descent like Zhao Ying.Are all the girls in Guan Nei so smart?But she is much more dangerous than Zhao Ying. Any girl at such an age who dares to participate in big events is very dangerous.He inquired about it. She entered the prison as a fire fighter at the age of 12. This girl must have experienced a lot.

"This is my plan." Gao Leqi said, "On the day Gurthas goes to the Holy Mountain meeting..."

That day, Gao Leqi saw that Gulthas was in a hurry to go out and asked to redeem Wang Hong's parents and younger brother. As expected, Gulthas didn't ask any more questions.

After Gursasi left Batu, Tucker immediately asked the palace guards to go to the sheep dung pile to pick up Yang Yan and Wang Hong, put them in new clothes, gathered the people, and announced the return of the sons of God Sa.

With Arien's declaration and those fiery eyes, when Yang Yan hugged Gulthas tightly and saw the crowd's passionate and raging tears, Gao Leqi knew that the plan had been successful.

Although everything went well, Gao Leqi understood that the battle with Gulthas had just begun.
