Ninety: Conspiracy behind the scenes
Soon, Xu Fan flew towards the sky with the True Solution Gourd in his hand. The phantom "Xu Fan" behind him lost the ability to pursue it and had to turn into a broken phantom and fall into the smooth mirror surface, disappearing completely.
Having swallowed up most of the diamonds in the Buddha's temple and the heaven and earth spiritual essence in the bronze statues of Bodhisattva, the power of the True Solution Gourd far exceeds that of Xu Fan.
At this time, Xu Fan was full of confidence holding the True Solution Gourd, believing that with the help of the True Solution, he would be able to return the same way.
.....
Guangling City, ruins of Xu Mansion.
The rays of the rising sun in the early morning were scattered among the mottled ruins. Two figures, an old man and a young man, moved lightly through the ruins of most of the Xu Mansion.
The men in black they met along the way were cleverly avoided by the two. If Mu Xingchen was present, he would definitely know these two people. One of them was the old fisherman who was "kicked to death" by him at the ferry.
The child next to him was the little girl who framed Mu Xingchen.
"Grandpa, do you think they are really here in the ruins of Xu Mansion? The information is correct, right? We have appeared in front of Mu Yunliang." The little girl wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Last night, when the old fisherman came back from outside, he took the little girl and went south quickly. No matter how she asked, the old fisherman didn't answer.
After entering Guangling Mansion City, she realized that the old fisherman wanted to take her to the ruins of Xu Mansion.
Along the way, they kept sneaking, but they still encountered several waves of men in black. If they hadn't been so skilled, they would have been discovered long ago.
Three days have passed since the old heads of the five great families, the head of the Yin Yang Sect, and the Governor of Diaoyutai, Mu Yunliang, and others disappeared into the ancient phantom well in the ruins of the Xu Mansion's ancestral temple.
No matter how small a secret is, it is impossible to hide it from the eyes and ears of those who are interested. Even if the five great families in Jiangnan Road can cover the sky with one hand, the sky still has dark eyes after all.
The old fisherman looked back at the girl who looked like a girl, opened his mouth, and finally sighed and said softly, "If Mu Yunliang had seen out our identities, he would have taken action at that time and would not have left us here.
now."
"Grandpa, do you think he did it on purpose?" The little girl raised her eyebrows, rolled her eyes, and whispered in a weird voice.
"No way. Although we are not from the Yin Yang Evil Sect, we are from the Yun Kingdom. If we rob them of their opportunity, how can they let it go?"
The old fisherman suddenly stopped and blocked the little girl. The two of them dodged and hid in the shadow of a ruined ruin.
"What's wrong?" The little girl was about to ask, her ears twitched slightly and her bright almond eyes looked in one direction.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves was clearly heard.
"There are thousands of people!" The old fisherman's voice was very low, "I didn't expect that the Daqian court would actually join forces with the King of Nan'an."
"Master, what do you mean?" As soon as the little girl finished her fairy tale voice, she saw a group of armored cavalry three yards away from the ruins. Everyone in the team was wearing silver helmets and silver armor, and the horses under their crotches were even more murderous.
steaming.
"Who is so good at..."
Before the word "trespassing" could be uttered, the men in black who rushed out saw an overwhelming wave of arrows shooting towards them.
"Who are you?!"
The men in black were the monks from various major families guarding the outside. Naturally, they recognized the heavy armored cavalry in silver helmets as the Snow Dragon Cavalry of King Nan'an.
The leader, a man in black, narrowed his eyes slightly, puffed up his arrow sleeves slightly, and a strong wind burst out, scattering all the arrow rain in the sky.
"Ding ding dong dong~ding ding dong dong~"
Hundreds of arrows were forced to deviate from their original trajectory due to this strong force, and shot out around the ruins. Some were embedded in the gravel on the ground, while others were shot into the ruins of the walls.
In short, facing the monk's blow, the arrows of ordinary warriors would have no effect at all.
The scene was tense for a time. The hoofs of the silver-armored horses kept trampling heavily on the gravel ground. Each Snow Dragon Cavalry soldier tightly held the silver spear behind his back.
As long as they get orders, they can fight their way out with their own blood.
Seeing that the rain of arrows released by his subordinates could not do anything to the men in black, a hearty laughter came from behind the dragon rider.
The next moment, a middle-aged man in a green Taoist robe flew from the middle of the team and landed lightly among the crowd.
"Taoist Qingxu?"
The leader of the man in black's eyes narrowed. What he didn't expect was that King Nan'an would actually send this man here in person.
"Hey, I didn't expect that Your Excellency would recognize Ping Tao." Green-bearded Taoist Ma Ying Haocheng shook the dust in his hand and nodded slightly, "Ma Lu Haocheng, now you are polite."
Ma Yingjie flicked his Taoist robe, and a surge of energy surged out. The large sleeves of his robe shook loudly, and even the horses riding on the snow dragons behind him neighed.
The tyrannical Qi machine flattened half of the surrounding ruins, and several men in black took dozens of steps back before standing firm.
"Ma Yingjie, I advise you to stop as soon as possible. Otherwise..."
Before the leader in black could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a sharp voice, "What else? What can the five major families do? You are just one step ahead of the prince."
The strong wind dissipated, and a handsome man wearing a shabby Gu robe appeared next to Ma Yingjie. If it weren't for the tattered Gu robe, no one would have guessed that he was Zhang Jubai, the poisonous Gu lord of the Nan'an Palace.
Zhang Jubai flicked his fingers and ejected more than a dozen small Gu insects from his hands. "Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~" The extremely poisonous Gu bugs vibrated their wings and flew towards the black people.
The expressions of the men in black changed suddenly. They did not expect that the Nan'an Palace would actually send out these two such terrifying beings.
The old fisherman and the little girl who were hiding outside the ruins of several courtyards clicked their tongues at the same time. The old fisherman sighed softly, "It seems that Mu Yunliang's plan will fail this time."
"How do you say it?" the little girl asked curiously.
"The two monks who protect King Nan'an are here. These two people are only a hair away from the "big one". And these people can come to Guangling Mansion so easily without even alerting the officers and soldiers of Guangling Mansion. The people behind them are
Do you need to think too much about it?"
"Master, are you saying that Emperor Longxing saw through Mu Yunliang's plan from the very beginning?"
The little girl took a few steps back and hid behind the old fisherman. Looking at the poisonous insects shot out by Zhang Jubai, her scalp was numb and goosebumps appeared all over her body.
"See through? Or not?" The old fisherman took a step forward, stood in front of the little girl, blocked the little girl's sight, and continued to whisper, "The vassal soldiers of King Nan'an appeared here openly, and the soldiers of Jiangnan Road did not
Maybe I don’t know.”
"That is to say, for the opportunity here, Emperor Daqian and King Nan'an reached a certain tacit agreement." The little girl suddenly realized it, shook her head like a little adult, and said with disdain.
"I don't know how long Mu Yunliang and the old guys from the five major families have been in there."
The old fisherman reached out and grabbed the little girl's arm. He flashed and flew away in the opposite direction, continuing towards the depths of the ruins of the Xu Mansion.
On the other side, if the man in black headed by the man in black uses his Qi machine to disperse the Gu insects in front of him, they might spit out poisonous gas on the spot, and then the gains outweigh the losses.
Seeing the Gu insects coming toward him, he had no choice but to order a retreat. "Let's retreat!"
"let's go!"
One retreat and one advance!
Facing the Poison Lord Zhang Jubai, all the men in black were helpless. They were monks, but their bodies were not invulnerable to all poisons. Even if they took the decoction elixir in advance, they might not be able to remove all of Zhang Jubai's poisons.
This group of men in black could only use some small tricks to delay King Nan'an's Snow Dragon Rider from heading to the ruins of Xu Mansion's ancestral temple.
Even so, the delay was less than half an hour.
More than a dozen men in black stood guard around the Phantom Ancient Well, staring vigilantly at the Snow Dragon Riders surrounding them. The flags of the Jiangnan Province soldiers could even be faintly seen in the distance.
"How is this possible! Nan'an King Li Muzhi actually joined forces with Qin Ruhai!"
One of the people in black's pupils shrank slightly, and she actually saw her granddaughter Fu Sixuan under Qin Ruhai's flag.
"Fu Yang! What should we do now?"
Fu Shan's fists were tightly clenched under his sleeves, and the coldness in his eyes was real. Seeing the Snow Dragon Cavalry and Jiangnan Daofu soldiers appearing here at the same time, he was inexplicably shocked.
The monks from the other major families also looked solemn. Qin Ruhai, the governor of Jiangnan Province, ordered his soldiers to strictly guard the important roads of Jiangnan Province. The major families were unable to mobilize their secret power.
He originally thought that Qin Ruhai was staring at the vassal soldiers of King Nan'an, but he didn't expect that he was staring at the five major families.
"What do you think?" Fu Yang's fists under his sleeves were clenched tightly, and then slowly released.
They, more than ten monks, can still do it if they want to defend the Phantom Ancient Well. But since then, their five major families have completely broken up with the imperial court.
It is still unknown what opportunities the old family heads have obtained in the forbidden land. If they break up with the Daqian court rashly, the risk is too great.
Fu Yang couldn't make a decision alone. Several of the leading men in black looked at each other. Now no one could make a decision. Everyone had to think hard about countermeasures.
There was dead silence. After a long silence, a frail scholar walked out from the queue of Snow Dragon Riders on the opposite side. The person who came was none other than Xiao Yun, a white-faced scholar with a pale and extremely haggard face.
Xiao Yun took out a clean brocade handkerchief from his sleeves and covered his lips, coughed a few times, cupped his hands towards the men in black clothes in front of him, and said softly, "Family heads, the purpose of our visit this time must be...
We all understand.”
"You got the wrong person." A man in black snorted coldly and changed his voice.
Xiao Yun glanced at the man in black who spoke, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, chuckled, and joked, "Master Lu, you really don't consider our Nan'an Palace to be your friends. Your two families are in Jinling."
Cheng, if you talk like this, it will really hurt my heart."
The head of the Lu family, Lu Changxian, was not angry after being recognized at a glance. His eyes moved slightly and he said coldly, "Scholar Xiao, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Master Lu, this is strange. This place doesn't seem to be your Lu family's property. You can come, why can't our prince and governor Qin come?" Xiao Yun slowly took a step forward, only a mere distance away from the few men in black.
More than ten steps.
If a monk made a sudden attack, he would definitely be able to slap the weak scholar away with one palm.
But none of the men in black dared to take such a risk. Although the white-faced scholar Xiao Yun was a sick man, no one had ever seen him take action. Some people rumored that Xiao Yun was incapable of tying a chicken, while others rumored that Xiao Yun was a black-hearted scholar.
