Chapter 16 Heavenly Works (12)
"This...Master Qingfeng, do you mean that the Tang Sect should have other backup plans to catch us all?"
Even though there are old man Zhang, who has a great relationship with Longhu Mountain, around him, when he thinks of the Tang Sect's methods, Taoist Sanshan and other wild Taoist priests can't help but sweat on their vests. The reputation of Tangjiabao for hundreds of years has penetrated into the bones of every Jianghu people. It is only the constrained craftsman, who is just an outer disciple responsible for doing odd jobs. If it weren't for Old Man Zhang and Xiao Xia, they would have blown everyone here without any bones. I don't know how terrifying the real core disciples would have done.
"Well... I don't know this... I just think the situation seems a bit strange now." Xiao Xia was not sure. He didn't know much about the Tang family, but just a few words he heard from the two brothers Tang Gongzheng and Tang Qingxiao. Combined with some rumors in the world, it can be imagined that Tang Family Castle must be doing things in a plan and then act, very careful, and will never show mercy once it takes action. As for the two brothers, they are all abnormalities among the children of the Tang family, and their styles are not enough to be used as reference.
If Tangjiabao really had classified this Shenjitang as its own territory, it would not have left such negligent loopholes, and even the disciple who stayed here to silence the silence was arrested. Is there any other situation? Xiao Xia suddenly remembered the scene when Chief Craftsman Wei was notified of a distinguished guest to visit. What kind of distinguished guest needs a chief Craftsman who is only responsible for the production of the agency and is handling confidential matters must also meet with him? Could it be that the group of people from the Zhengdao League have made any big moves?
As this is the same, all the related doubts buried before came one after another. Now, Nangong Tong should have been aware of the situation in the Shenji Hall. It is absolutely impossible to lurk in and steal the account book of any drawings. It is okay to fool the craftsmen of Shenji Hall with his half-bucket of water. Provoking the Tang family members who were originally skilled in lurking and plotting are purely seeking death. Could it be that Nangong Tong is using a knife to kill people? It seems a bit unlike... Regardless of whether the motive is there, even if he borrows a knife, Nangong Tong does not have the courage to kill him.
So what does he really mean to let himself come here?
Thousands of thoughts came together, and Xiaoxia felt her thoughts confusing for a moment and frowned and thought hard. Although she hadn't figured it out yet, a strong sense of uneasiness had already aroused his heart.
At this time, the old man Zhang on the side was shaking his head and sighing: "The Tang family has dominated Shuzhou for hundreds of years, and can be said to be the best local tyrant in the world. Although they have always been vicious and vicious, they are not the kind of ambitious and ignorant person. They just guard their own territory in Shuyun and the two states of Shuyun. They never stretch their hands elsewhere without authorization. They are still quite harmonious with the imperial government and the major sects... I didn't expect that when the storm was changing, they were also mixed with the Tiangong Plan and Shenjitang..."
Xiningzi spoke loudly from the side: "What Mr. Zhang said is very true! These local tyrants have never had any righteousness or justice, right or wrong. There is nothing wrong with the words "interest" in their eyes..."
After being interrupted by the noise, Xiaoxia couldn't help frowning and felt a little irritated. Since Old Man Zhang revealed his identity, Xiningzi has always seemed very excited. Perhaps in the eyes of people like him who are good at ease and like to scheming, being able to meet Zhang Yuhong's brother is simply a huge pie that fell from the sky. If you don't do your best to make friends, it's like leaving a good impression on the other party, that's like a sin that deserves death.
"...It should be that there was some change in the past that they had no time to take care of this place for the time being. It was a great time. Let's take this opportunity to leave first." Xiao Xia said in a deep voice, and walked out first. The rising feeling of uneasiness combined with the strange intuition he had always had. It actually made him feel a little scared, as if he had to leave here as soon as possible.
As soon as he took a step, Xiningzi reached out and grabbed him: "Hey, hey, fellow Taoist Qingfeng wait, should we ask Senior Zhang to give us some advice first? You need to know that Senior's Taoism is so brilliant..."
Xiao Xia was very impatient and wanted to scold this guy who was ignorant of the importance of the matter. However, when he opened his mouth, he could not make any sound. A wonderful numbness spread rapidly from Xiningzi's arms that he grabbed him and fell to the ground.
"Huh? What's wrong with you, Fellow Daofeng? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Xiningzi pulled him up and slowly put him down, and leaned forward to him and asked loudly. The young and reckless face was covered with nervous sweat. It should be said that he had been very nervous and excited at the beginning. At this time, the light coming out of his eyes was so bright that it was almost dazzling.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with fellow Taoist Qingfeng?" Some of the wild Taoists around came over with nervous expressions and asked, while others took out talismans and looked around as if they were facing a great enemy. This deep-seated enemy formation, maybe there would be an extremely vicious Tang Sect hidden weapon shot out from somewhere, which made people very nervous.
Old Man Zhang was also stunned, his eyes closed slightly, and then opened again, with a confused face. It was obvious that he used the Guan Shen Qi Ban method to check the surrounding situation, but did not find any abnormalities.
Of course he would not find any abnormality, because the abnormality was not elsewhere, just in Xiningzi's hand. It was a thin needle that was thinner than cow hair but shorter than eyelashes. It was like a hair that had grown in the wrong place and was sandwiched between Xiningzi's fingers. Even if you really saw it with your eyes, you wouldn't be able to see it.
Everyone around was nervous, and Xiningzi was also nervous, but the reason why he was nervous was completely different from others. Others were still paying attention to the Tangmen hidden weapon that was flying from where he didn't know where he was. But he threw Xiaoxia down and jumped up, reached out and pulled at Old Man Zhang: "Senior Zhang, please see fellow Taoist Qingfeng..."
Xiningzi stretched out his hand and was trembling. A master who had reached the innate realm of Taoism could reach the point where he had thoughts and magic, which was faster than any martial arts master. But at this point, he had to grab his hand like this.
And if it was as good as he expected, there would be no mistakes in this catch.
Sure enough, Old Man Zhang did not pay any attention or warning, but instead stepped forward and looked at Xiao Xia on the ground. Xiningzi's hand pulled his wrist without any obstacles, and the fine needle of the cow-haired needle in his hand was also stabbed in. Just like Xiao Xia, Old Man Zhang also fell down instantly after his body became weak.
The ecstasy looked through Xiningzi's eyes, but at the same time he also screamed and jumped up, pulling out a knife from his sleeve, and slashed off a piece of his finger as if he had been poisoned and still cut off his wrist. The blood suddenly appeared and shouted loudly: "No, it's poisonous! Come and protect Senior Zhang! I have a talisman here to detoxify!"
The wild Taoist priests around him, who were already frightened birds, hurriedly gathered at Xiningzi. At this time, Xiningzi had a talisman in his hand, and he pinched it in the air with the hand that had just cut off his fingers. The talisman turned into a clear light and wrapped the blood in his hand and rose up. The clear light and blood mixed together and exploded into a piece in the air. The scattered light seemed to illuminate people, covering everyone below.
The light scattered, and there was a thunderous sound below. The wild Taoist priests who had just surrounded him fell down like wheat under a sickle.
There were only three people standing, Xiningzi, Feilong Taoist, and Sanshan Taoist. The three of them looked at each other, and their faces were extremely difficult to see.
###
The hall fell into a dead silence again.
It seems that I have been so excited today, too much, and the people in Shenjitang have no expression on their faces, as if they are numb. They just looked at each other with inquiring eyes.
After the launch of the Tiangong Plan, the various institutions and personnel were transferred to Shenjitang. Many of them were seconded from other places. They were not very familiar with each other, but at least they all knew each other. And since they could stand here, they all had a certain status and a certain qualification in Shenjitang. Zeng Jiuwen said that there must be people from the Tang Sect here, and many people still found it incredible.
The people of the Zhengdao League behind Nangong Tong were all solemn and excited. They finally understood the real purpose of coming here today and who they really wanted to deal with. They were the most dangerous enemy in the world, the person they were most unwilling to mess with, but they were also the enemy that could make people famous the fastest. Everyone standing here had the confidence that the disciples of the aristocratic sect should have, especially what made them feel frustrated before was just a misunderstanding that was not a dangerous one. When those dangerous firearms and mechanism beasts turned out to be the bargaining chips in their hands, the confidence they regained needed to be verified by victory.
Now everyone understands what it means when the master of Zeng Jiuwen wrapped himself tightly. No one needs to remind him that many people have begun to take out their medicine bottles and pour out pills to put them in their mouths and noses. Although the hidden weapons and poisons of the Tang family are powerful, the magic medicines that other famous families can protect their children are not decorations.
Nangong Tong did not take any measures, but this was not because he was not afraid. It only means that he had sufficient preparations long ago, so that he could look leisurely and calm, and get enough demeanor and momentum. He waited for everyone behind him to basically be prepared, and then he spoke slowly: "Friends from the Tang family, when things have come to such a scene, then please show up and stand up and talk?"
After a short silence, a voice finally sounded from the people of Shenjitang: "Mr. Nangong, do the two adults in your family know about doing these things?"
As the words sounded at the same time, a human body fell to the ground. While this man was speaking, everyone around him fainted, leaving him alone standing there, facing the people of the Zhengdao League not far away, and the mechanical beasts carrying firearms around him.
"How...it could it be you?" Zeng Jiuwen's incredible voice came from behind the mask.
"Master, didn't you hide me so much? Why didn't you expect it was me?" The man said lightly. He had a honest and honest face, and it was Deacon Zhang, the foreign deacon of Jingzhou branch.
Zeng Jiuwen sighed and said, "I'm not hiding you, I'm hiding everyone. I only know that the Tiangong Plan is so important and critical. Tangjiabao must have a secret son scattered in various branches. The two sent to deal with the wild Taoist priests for us are just concealing the intentions of being peripheral disciples. Since I can't guess who it is, then I'll just act as a spy from the Tang family, no matter who it is."
Deacon Zhang nodded: "So that's it. Even if I, a disciple of the Tang sect, have rarely done so hard to perform the show. Master Zeng has worked so hard these days."
"But...how could it be you?" Zeng Jiuwen's voice was still full of disbelief. "Even if you are not the elders of the church brought by Lao Wei from Qiao Jin Sect, you have had more than ten years of experience in the Shenji Hall. Even if we both worked together for eight or nine years... I thought they would be those who had just been transferred..."
"...That was when I started to be undercover in Shenjitang more than ten years ago." Deacon Zhang, no. It should have been Deacon Zhang, whose surname is Tang, who answered.
Zeng Jiuwen was silent for a while before a sigh full of fear and gratitude: "I actually started to arrange it more than ten years ago... The Tang family... As expected, I have a good thought and a long-term vision. Fortunately, I am careful enough."
Deacon Tang said lightly: "There are not many people like me. The old man and the old lady have a good vision. From the time when Shenji Hall just started more than ten years ago, it can be seen that Shenji Hall must have the status of today, and it will definitely be the hub in a storm. Only then did I set up a few secrets. It was you, Lord Zeng. No one expected that you could do what you are like today. Such a vision and courage are really amazing. You said in front of me before, why not raise your courage and be brave again? Is that what it means?"
"Hahahaha, this brother from the Tang family was silent when he disappeared, but he kept talking after he appeared." Nangong laughed. "I wonder what is this brother Tang called? He is a disciple in which room in Tang family fort? My Nangong family has also had friendships with several heads of the Tang family. Maybe we are still acquaintances."
"Tang Jianyu." The honest deacon glanced at Nangong Tong and withdrew his eyes. It seemed that it was not worth a look. His voice was also calm and plain, and he didn't care. "Don't say something on purpose to remind others that you are the leader here. I want to talk to Lord Zeng because I won't have the chance to say it again after a while. If you insist on interrupting, I will still say the same thing as before, you are doing these things in Jingzhou. Do your family know? "
Nangong Tong's expression became extremely strange in an instant. No matter what occasion or any change, his demeanor and temperament that had been soaked in his bone marrow could still be maintained, but he couldn't react for a while after being hit by this sentence. He took a deep breath and then straightened his breath a little before he could speak. The deacon named Tang Jianyu said again: "I think he shouldn't know. Neither Nangong Wuwei nor Nangong Wuji, nor the head of the family, would do such a frigid thing. Do you really know what you are doing? You may think this person
Master Zeng Jiuwen is a smart person who knows the current affairs. He knows how to seek profit and avoid harm and find the right time to surrender to you, but do you know that you are actually the biggest chess piece in his hand? Rather than saying that he is here to pull you into the water, he is here to pull you into the water, and to use you, a guy who doesn't know how deep the water is, and the depth of the situation under the water, to cross the river. In the words Master Zeng said before, do you really understand why the court ordered the government to be taken over to the official office? Why has the order been delayed? Do you know why my Tang Sect wants to form an alliance with this Shenji Hall? Do you know what Nangong Wuwei and Nangong Wuji and the others are thinking?"
"As for the young heroes behind Mr. Nangong, I think you don't really understand the depth of this. Following Mr. Nangong to make trouble, it really disappoints your elders' hard work to let you come out for training. Maybe some of you actually understand, but it doesn't matter much when things get so far... You can only be considered unlucky."
Nangong Tong's face had not yet recovered completely, but the people behind him could not hold back. The young master of Jinyi, who had spoken before, burst into laughter: "I heard that the people in the Tang Sect are gloomy and vicious, but I didn't expect that they were so arrogant and unbearable. Haven't you seen clearly the current situation? Could it be that the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect are really so powerful that they can deal with many people on our side, as well as the surrounding organ beasts?"
"That's right. I don't know where this Tang Sect brother got so much confidence."
"But we won't bully the few with the more. Brother Tang might as well draw the trail, and we'll follow it."
"Brother Hong is such a bad word. We are not a private fight for our own grudges, and we don't need to talk about any rules. In my opinion, let the Lord Zeng Jiuwen solve the problem by himself..."
Amid the noise of quarrels and noises, Mingyue turned around and said lightly to Luo Yuanyun not far behind him: "Fatty, if you want to survive, you'd better run away now. Or you can just huddle in the corner and pretend to be dead."
Luo Yuanquan was completely stunned. During these days, Mingyue, the goddess in his heart, almost never took the initiative to talk to him. Now he was concerned about his safety. Looking at the beautiful and beautiful face, he only felt that the greatest happiness in the world was this. His eyes immediately filled with tears of excitement. He held back his tears and said in a muffled voice: "Don't worry, Fairy Mingyue, even if I'm broken into pieces, I will definitely protect the fairy!"
Mingyue turned a blind eye to this fierce and brave guard, and said that and turned around.
At the same time, Li Shishi, who had been silent at the front of the team, also stepped forward and quietly said in Nangong Tong's ear: "Brother Nangong Shi, Youdao is the son of a thousand gold, but you might as well retreat for the time being. Let's leave it to us and Lord Zeng."
"Why do you need to do this?" Nangong Tong's face had a bit of ferociousness that had never been seen before. "I was about to see what the famous Tang family members had done. In this situation, they could turn their hands around and turn their hands into rain."
Tang Jianyu ignored the voices of the young heroes, looked at Zeng Jiuwen again, and said slowly: "The only thing I don't understand now is that you are so sure that the Nangong family will definitely win? It will definitely give you the most benefits? You should be clear that the chips in the Tiangong Plan will be much more important in the control of my Tang family. If you have good abilities, you will definitely be reused. A branch master is definitely not the leader. When the court gets it, and finally comes to practice, the Nangong family will have to share the benefits with other forces, play with each other, and after arranging their confidants, you will never have any chance to make a comeback with no connections. You will never think that the young master who doesn't understand these things really have the power to give you the position of the chief master, right?"
"In any case, it's better than doing things in your Tangjiabao's hands, even living and dying. The two general managers in the General Hall who opposed the alliance with the Tang Sect were one of them hit, and the other was cut by an inexplicable mechanism, and a few of them were deliberately approaching the Zhengdao League and the Nangong family..." Zeng Jiuwen said slowly in a hoarse voice. The eyes behind the crystal lenses were covered with blood, but they were shining with a different light than before. "I understood eighteen years ago that no matter what the environment was, only those who held their destiny in their hands would have a chance to turn over."
"So that's it. We've neglected this... Smart people who thought they could weigh the interests clearly would not act rashly..." Tang Jianyu nodded and sighed. "...Sure enough, the most difficult thing in the world is the human heart. I remembered that my old man said after hearing about the Shenjitang's Tiangong Plan. He said that no matter how exquisite these machines and equipment are, they are still stupid dead things. All the variables in the world, from the country to the trivial matters, seem complex and difficult to solve, but in fact they all revolve around the human heart. Only the human heart is the real work of the world."
"...I was really negligent to take your mood into consideration. It was a pity that I could not bring the owner to my Tang family to work. I have received much care over the years. Last year, I was a little sick every year, and my wife and wife made porridge for me to drink. I was really grateful. Although my Tang family is decisive, it never harms my family, wife and children. You can rest assured, the owner..."
Tang Jianyu's voice was plain and soft, and the more he spoke, the more he felt the feeling of emotion became stronger and stronger, but the content of this sentence became more and more uneasy. He suddenly stopped and shouted angrily: "Don't move rashly! All the firearms of the mechanism beasts are aimed at you! I can make you crushed to pieces with my thoughts!"
With this shout, there was no change in Tang Jianyu's honest face. Instead, Nangong Tong beside Zeng Jiuwen was shocked: "What's wrong? What did he say to you?"
"... Master, although you have started to protect everything from these two or three months ago and have tried your best to make arrangements, since my Tang family has been arranged more than ten years ago, how can you work with this little skill?" Tang Jianyu sighed deeply, bowed his hand, and said in a clear and kind voice that only Zeng Jiuwen could hear. "Master, go all the way."
Chapter completed!
