Gu Baiyi pretended to be surprised and said: "You mean there is also a grandmaster in the palace?"
Seeing Gu Baiyi's surprised look, Starscream smiled and said, "Yes, of course you don't know about such secret things."
"As far as I know, there are very few ninth-grade masters in the world." Gu Baiyi looked thoughtful: "Except the Master, who among the remaining few is guarding the palace?"
"I know what you are thinking." Starscream said: "You think it's the Butcher, Dao Lord and others? They are all wrong. These people will never stay in the palace to protect the demon fox."
Gu Baiyi sighed: "I am ignorant, so I have to ask for advice."
Starscream said: "Actually, I don't know the name of the ninth-grade master in the palace, but Master mentioned that the master should be a eunuch. It makes sense that the eunuch is guarding the emperor.
.”
"That's it." Gu Baiyi suddenly realized: "It turns out that he is a eunuch."
"When the Master mentioned the Eunuch Grandmaster, he said that the Eunuch Grandmaster's strength should not be underestimated." Starscream said: "It is precisely because the Eunuch Grandmaster is guarding the demon fox day and night, even if the Master can easily enter the palace, but wants to attack
Killing the demon fox is not easy."
Gu Baiyi said: "But if you use the Queen Mother Association to cause trouble, can you get rid of the demon fox? The army of the imperial court is not something that the Queen Mother Association can handle."
"The Master's plan is to support Princess She Yue of the Li Tang bloodline." Starscream said: "She Yue is the bloodline of the Li family. By supporting She Yue with the power of the Queen Mother Association, we can attract righteous people from all over the world to come and join us.
If you raise the banner of Li Tang, you may not be able to compete with the demon fox." He sighed and said, "It's just that there was a flaw in the plan, and we ended up in this situation." Looking at Gu Baiyi, he said, "I will say everything that needs to be said.
Well, if you are interested in Li Tang, I can introduce you to Master."
"Recommend to the Master?"
"Yes." Starscream said solemnly: "Master is one of the few ninth-grade masters in the world today. He has the heart to help the world, and he also has the intention of supporting people with lofty ideals in the world. If you can see Master, you may even go to the academy.
, become a disciple of the academy, Master will definitely give you some pointers on martial arts. Both of your martial arts are not weak. If you get Master's guidance, you will definitely make rapid progress, which will be of great benefit to the country and individuals.
"
Gu Baiyi thought for a moment and then said: "If there is a chance to see the Master, it will be a dream come true. But we can't leave now. Please tell me where the Tiandi Academy is. When things are settled here, we will go to the academy in person.
Goodbye."
Starscream rolled his eyes and sighed: "Mr. Gu, I don't know whether what you said is true or false. I just want to tell you that without my introduction, you would not be able to see the master and rush over rashly, but you would be saved.
worries."
Gu Baiyi said: "In that case, I don't know if I can go and see You Ming?"
"You want to see Netherworld?"
"Since You Ming and the Master are brothers, it can naturally prove your true relationship with the Master." Gu Baiyi said in a calm tone, smiling: "If you are indeed a disciple of the Master, I ask myself that you only have one head, so I would not dare to be with you no matter what.
The Master is my enemy. But if you are cheating and pretending to be a disciple of the Master, I can just hand you over to the Master and make the academy owe me a favor to some extent."
Starscream seems to be in a bit of trouble.
"Why, you don't dare to confront me?" Hongye's pretty face turned cold.
Starscream sighed: "To be honest, Netherworld's identity has always been extremely secretive and unknown to outsiders. If I take you to see him without his permission, he will definitely be angry, and it will not be good for us at that time.
. Otherwise, Master Gu asked me to go see You Ming first, and I will recommend Master Gu to You Ming. If You Ming agrees, I will come over immediately and take you to see him."
Hongye sneered mockingly: "You seem to have forgotten that your life is now in our hands. What qualifications do you have to bargain with us?"
"But you should understand that without me, you wouldn't be able to see Netherworld at all." Starscream said immediately.
Gu Baiyi smiled faintly and said: "It seems you really think that we are negotiating terms with you." Xiang Hongye said: "He doesn't dare to see You Ming, so he is pretending to be a disciple of the academy. There is no need to say more."
Hongye's eyes turned cold. Seeing that he was about to take action, Starscream hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Don't take action, I...let me think about it!"
Starscream's experience in martial arts is not weak. To be defeated here tonight, he really underestimated the enemy. He never expected that a mere official from Dali Temple could be so skilled.
Tonight's assassination operation was purely his personal plan. You Ming knew nothing about it. He knew that if he brought Gu Baiyi and two people to see You Ming at this time, his unauthorized actions would be exposed immediately, and You Ming would definitely feel bad about him.
Be dissatisfied.
In fact, he understood better that Gu Baiyi wanted to meet You Ming, of course, it couldn't be because he really wanted to defect to the academy.
Gu Baiyi is a member of the government. He led troops into the city to annihilate the Queen Mother Association this time, and has already established a relationship with Haotian. Naturally, he cannot be stupid enough to see Haotian.
Gu Baiyi found a reason to go see Netherworld. From Starscream's point of view, he had no other purpose than to capture the leader of Suzhou Queen Mother Association in one fell swoop.
If you can capture the Netherworld General of the Queen Mother Society, it will be a great achievement. Gu Baiyi is so active, of course, in order to be rewarded for his meritorious service and be promoted to a noble rank.
Starscream sneered inwardly, knowing that people in the officialdom valued their future very seriously. Gu Baiyi was very skilled, and there was a female master beside him. These two people obviously thought they could subdue Netherworld.
If he refuses, then he will have no use value to these two people. The other party will either torture him to extract a confession, or use that strange powder to reduce him to a corpse. No matter what, he will not end well.
So given the current situation, of course we cannot refuse.
Starscream knew Netherworld's capabilities well. Although Gu Baiyi and his two men were not weak in martial arts, they probably couldn't take advantage of Netherworld. Now if they wanted to survive, they could only bring them over and use Netherworld's hand to defeat them.
Eliminate the two.
Although Netherworld will be very dissatisfied with him after this incident, at least he will not take his life.
He had already made up his mind, but deliberately hesitated, thinking that if he agreed too readily, the other party would definitely be wary. If he hesitated, the other party would think that he was forced to do so, and his guard would be much more relaxed.
Gu Baiyi and Hongye looked at each other. Starscream deliberately hesitated for a moment and finally said: "I can take you to see You Ming, but You Ming has a special status. If there are too many people, he will not show up."
"Don't worry, we are the only ones going with you." Gu Baiyi said with a smile: "You are sincere, and so are we."
Starscream sighed and wanted to pretend to say something, but Hongye had already raised his hand and threw something over. Starscream reached out and took it, but it was a vermilion pill. Just as he was surprised, Hongye said lightly: "
Take it!"
"What does this mean?" Starscream immediately understood the meaning of red leaves.
"The meaning is very simple, either die or take the pill." Hongye said expressionlessly, "If you are honest, I will give you the antidote, otherwise you will die of the poison."
Starscream was horrified, he didn't expect this sallow-faced woman to do this.
He looked at Gu Baiyi, who had a soft expression and said with a smile: "Take it, she always keeps her word. If she really wants to kill someone, even I can't persuade her."
Feeling Hongye's cold gaze, Starscream gritted his teeth, but was helpless.
After taking the pill, Gu Baiyi slowly stood up, raised his hand and said: "Please lead the way!"
It was dark at night, so people in Suzhou City naturally closed their doors tightly and did not leave their homes at this time.
There are officers and soldiers in the city, as well as the Taihu Army, but there are also scattered followers of the Queen Mother. Although the officers and soldiers and the Taihu Army are searching for remaining believers in the city, many of the believers are natives of Suzhou City. These people came from Suzhou City.
The gang is very familiar with the streets and alleys in the city, so it is not difficult to find a hiding place.
Many wealthy families in the city suffered, but some ordinary people also suffered. When the war was in chaos, the people naturally hid and did not dare to go out in order to protect themselves.
A long street in the north of Suzhou City was eerily deserted. It was past midnight, and under a shop on the west side of the long street, there was a white lantern hanging.
The night breeze blew slowly, the white lanterns swayed gently, and on the plaque above the door, there were four words "He Ji Scissors" written on it.
Standing in the alley, Gu Baiyi looked thoughtfully at the white lanterns swaying in the night wind.
"You mean Netherworld is in the scissors shop?" Gu Baiyi pondered for a moment, and finally asked Starscream next to him: "Is this where Netherworld is hiding?"
"That's right." Starscream nodded and said, "Actually, this is not a scissors shop, it's just selling dog meat."
Hongye said coldly: "It's just a black market pawn shop."
Starscream was a little surprised. He obviously didn't expect Hongye to know about the black market pawnshop. He could only nod and said: "Yes, this is a black market pawnshop. Before midnight, it was just a scissors shop, but after midnight, it will do some shady business."
"
"Is Netherworld the master inside?" Hongye asked.
Starscream nodded, and Gu Baiyi said to Hongye: "Wait here. If you don't see me coming out for half an hour, you know what to do."
Hongye only paused for a moment and then hummed.
Starscream hurriedly said: "Master Gu, I will take you to see Netherworld."
"No need." Gu Baiyi said calmly: "You wait here. If I come out smoothly, you will get the antidote. If something happens to me, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to accompany me to hell."
When Starscream heard this, he immediately changed color.
"If he loses one hair, you will completely disappear from this world." Hong Ye said lightly.
The corners of Starscream's eyes twitched. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to take the two of them to Netherworld and use Netherworld to get rid of them, so that he could escape from death. Although he had taken poison, Netherworld was quite accomplished in pharmacology, so he should be able to
Find a way to detoxify yourself. Even if you can't detoxify in the end, there is still hope. It's better than dying directly at Hong Ye's hands.
Who knew that these two people were more cunning than he thought, so Gu Baiyi went alone and left himself as a hostage.
"Netherworld is not the owner inside." Starscream said with a bitter smile: "The owner of the pawnshop is a woman. I am not familiar with her, but she is just a puppet in Netherworld's hands. Netherworld...is the person who leads the pawnshop!"
