Chapter 63
Volume Eleven Sword Qi
Chapter 1 In the garden

Everyone looked up at the group of pigeons, and then everyone's eyes were fixed on Wuji.

Tang Que said: "These black pigeons were specially trained by my seventh uncle, and they fly twice as fast as ordinary pigeons, farther and farther away."

Three times, flying in the dark, it is not easy to be found. '

Wuji listened quietly. He hoped that Tang Que would talk more, and listening to others would also relax his nerves.

He couldn't help admitting that he was nervous, and until now, he hadn't figured out a countermeasure.

Tang Que said: "My Seventh Uncle trained this batch of pigeons to pass on secret news, but according to him, in heaven

This kind of pigeon has also been listed as a first-class premium breed in the recognized pigeon pedigree of raising pigeons!'

He squinted his eyes and smiled: "But I can guarantee that this kind of pigeon is not tasty at all. '

Wuji said, "Have you eaten?"

Tang Que said: "As long as it is edible, I will try my best to get a few to taste, otherwise I will be late."
I'm afraid I can't even fall asleep. '

Wuji said: "It is said that human flesh can also be eaten, have you ever eaten human flesh?"

He didn't want to know if Tang Que had eaten human flesh, but he was deliberately forcing Tang Que to speak.

No matter who is talking, their attention will inevitably be distracted, not to mention what they are saying now is what Tang Que is most interested in

question.

If he rushes out now, it is not completely hopeless, but the chance of success is not great.

If he took advantage of the opportunity to catch Tang Que and took Tang Que as a hostage, his chances would be much better.

Unfortunately, he was really not sure.

This person who looks like he is stupider than a pig is not only quick-witted, but also has unfathomable martial arts.

Tang Que is expressing his thoughts about human flesh:

'It is said that there are three things that should not be eaten: people who are sick, people who are too old, and people who are angry!'

Wuji asked, "An angry person, why can't he eat it?"

Tang Que said: "Because when people get angry, the meat will turn sour." '

Wuji is ready to shoot.

Although he was not sure, he still wanted to make a move, because he had no second choice.

Unexpectedly, Tang Que stood up suddenly and said, "We'll talk about these things later, let's go now!"

Wuji's heart sank.

Now that his only last chance had been missed, he could only ask: 'Where are we going?'

Tang Que said, "I'll take you to meet someone." '

Wuji asked, "Who are you going to see?"

Tang Que said: "Old ancestor!"

He said again: "Her old man has already ordered that as soon as the pigeon flies back, I will take you to see her." '

Wuji immediately stood up, the person he most wanted to see now was his ancestor.

It suddenly occurred to him that this was his chance.

If the old ancestor can be restrained and she is taken as a hostage, the people of the Tang family will not only send him out of Tangjiabao respectfully, maybe

He could also trade her for another life.

Shangguan Ren's life.

At least it was easier to deal with a 80-[-]-year-old woman than Tang Que.

Wuji smiled and said, "Do you still want to cover my eyes?"

Tang Que said: "No need. '

He narrowed his needle-like smiling eyes again: "If what you said is true, then you are one of our own.
You can come and go freely in the garden. '

Wuji said, "What if I'm not telling the truth?"

Tang Que said lightly: "Then once you go in this time, I'm afraid you won't come out alive again, so why should I cover your eyes?"
Wuji said, "You really don't have to." '

Seeing the scale and momentum of Tangjiabao, no one can imagine that their 'garden' must be an extremely large area.
Large, extremely heavily guarded place.

After you actually go in, you will find that your thinking is still not quite right.

The size of the garden is much larger than anyone imagined, but it doesn't appear to be heavily guarded.

Walking across a small wooden bridge with vermilion railings and green boards, and passing through a forest of colorful flowers, you can see the buildings built on the hillside.
, a series of magnificent mansions.

From the outside, the layout of each house is almost exactly the same, with no distinctive appearance at all, let alone
There will be street signs.

So even if you know which house the person you're looking for lives in, it's still hard to find.

On both sides of the path paved with bluestone blocks, there are high dusty walls, which seem to be the same at all.

Every road is like this.

Tang Que took Wuji around three times and twice, left and right, and finally stopped in front of an extremely wide and tall black lacquered gate.

'right here. ’ He said: ‘The ancestors must have been waiting for us. '

Behind the gate is a very large yard, and through the yard is a very large hall.

There are large tables and chairs in the hall, and large calligraphy and paintings hang on the high walls.

Everything in Tangjiabao seems to be a little bigger than normal, even the tea bowls.

Tang Que said, "Sit down." '

After Wuji sat down, his people disappeared.

Wuji originally thought that he must have gone in to report and would come out soon, but unexpectedly he never showed up.

The courtyard is lonely, no human voices can be heard, let alone human shadows.

Sitting alone in this empty hall, Wuji couldn't bear to rush out several times.

At this moment and here, he can't act rashly.

Although he couldn't see anyone, since the ancestor was here, there would never be no guards here.

An invisible guard is far more terrifying than one that can be seen.

He understands this.

He can 'endure' far more than most people!
□□□

The bowl of tea that was served by a boy with long hair just now was scalding hot, but it is now cold.

After an unknown amount of time, a weak, gentle, but majestic voice finally sounded in the hall.

'Tea please. '

Wuji could tell that it was the voice of his ancestor, and he had already heard her voice when he was interrogated last time.

This time he could only hear her voice, but he still couldn't see her.

Wuji's heart sank again.

If he can't even see her people, how can he restrain her?
He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Very bitter tea.

The voice of the old ancestor said again: "The Tang family is famous for its poison hidden weapons. Are you afraid that there is poison in this bowl of tea?"

Wuji smiled and said: "If the ancestors don't want me to live anymore, they can put me to death at any time, why bother?"

Do you want to poison this bowl of tea?"

The old man laughed, at least it sounded like he was.

'You are very calm,' she said, 'I never imagined you could be so calm at such a young age!'

Mowgli kept smiling.

Even he himself admired himself a little. Under such circumstances, he could still sit here and drink tea in a stable manner.

The old ancestor said again: "You are a good boy. Our Tang family needs someone like you. As long as you hang on, I will never let you down."
I won't treat you badly. '

She never mentioned the news that the pigeon brought back.

Is this another trap?
Did she do it for another purpose?
But her tone was not only gentler, but also absolutely devoid of malice.

Although Wuji was not stupid, nor was he slow to respond, he couldn't help being stunned.

He really couldn't figure out her intentions, and he didn't know what the old ancestor would say next?
Unexpectedly, the ancestors would never speak again.

The courtyard was silent and there was no one around.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Que came over with a smile and said, "You passed the test!"

Wuji was at a loss and said, "Have I passed the test?"

Holding a scroll in his hand, Tang Que said, "This is the investigation result brought back by those pigeons, do you want to see it?"

Of course Mowgli wants to see it.

Spread out the scroll, there are only eight words on it:

'There is indeed a person, and it is confirmed that there is no mistake. '

Wuji couldn't figure it out, even if he broke a big hole in his head, he couldn't figure it out.

——Is there really such a person as 'Li Yutang' in Xitou Village of Jixi?
——Could it be that the person sent by the Tang family to investigate was perfunctory and did not investigate at all, so he wrote this report indiscriminately

send back?
——Could it be that this person was bribed by Wuji's friend on the way and fabricated this report?
There are only three explanations for this situation.

These three explanations seem to make sense, but when you think about it carefully, they are absolutely impossible.

——Even if there is really a person named Li Yutang in Xitou Village, his background is absolutely impossible to be the same as what Wuji said.

There will never be such a coincidence.

——The Tang family has strict rules, and the children sent out will never dare to be perfunctory, and those who falsely report the truth are even less likely to be bribed.

——No one else knew about this matter, and it was impossible for anyone to bribe him.

What if none of these three inferences holds true?
□□□

Wuji didn't think about it anymore, he had encountered several unexplainable things in the past few days.

There must be one and the same mysterious key among these things.

It's just that I haven't been able to find it yet.

In any case, he finally passed this level again.He only has the mentality of "just passing by" and waits for changes.

He still has to 'endure'.

Just because he can bear it, he has gone through several crises that were absolutely hopeless.

Wuji slowly rolled up the note, returned it to Tang Que, and asked lightly, "Where is the old ancestor?"

Tang Que said: "The ancestor has already seen you and is very satisfied with you. '

Wuji said, "You won't let me visit her old man?"

Tang Que said: "I also want to take you to visit her old man, but it's a pity that I can't even see myself." '

He sighed and said with a wry smile: "Even I haven't seen her old man for a long time!"

Wuji said, "She rarely sees people?"

Tang Que said: "Very rarely. '

——Why is she missing?
——Is it because she looks weird and can't see people?
Wuji had another idea, which was even more extreme.

The real ancestor is dead, and another person wanted to replace her power position, so he kept his mourning secret and pretended to be her

The voice came to issue orders, ordering the children of the Tang family.

Then of course she cannot let people see the true face of the 'grandfather'.

Although this idea is absolutely impossible, it is not completely impossible.

There are some absurd and bizarre things in the world, and the real things are sometimes even more bizarre than the "legendary department".

Wuji didn't think about it any more.

The power struggle within the Tang family has nothing to do with him.

He just asked: 'Is it time for us to go now?'

Tang Que asked, "Where are you going?"

Wuji said, "Aren't we going to see Shangguan Ren?"

Tang Que said: "Of course I want to see you." '

Wuji said, "Then we should go to his place now?"

Tang Que smiled and said, "What do you think this is?"

Wuji asked, "He lives here?"

Tang Que didn't open his mouth, someone outside the door answered: "Yes, I live here." '

□□□

Wuji's heart was beating again, and the blood in his body was boiling again.

He recognized that it was Shangguan Yan's voice, and he also heard Shangguan Yan's footsteps.

The sworn enemy is about to meet him now.

This time they are not only under the same roof, but will soon meet face to face.

This time, will Shangguan Ren recognize him as Zhao Wuji?
