"Your Majesty, this is the limit. If you go any further, you may be eroded by the steam."
A guard was worried and carefully stopped in front of Gao Tianyu. He did not dare to stand in front of him, so he could only kneel to the side.
Gao Tianyu heard his reminder and realized at this time that he could no longer move forward.
He waved his hand to signal the guards to step back, then stood on the edge and stopped taking a step forward.
"Your Majesty, your highly skilled guard has not come back yet?"
Dewei came up to him, his words neither yin nor yang. Although it was a simple question, people always felt that there was a thorn in his words.
Gao Tianyu glanced at him sideways and murmured: "He hasn't come out of the palace yet."
"I'm afraid, Your Majesty, you have to prepare for the worst."
Dewei sighed, "I heard an old man from Ouchi say that there is as much mercury in the underground palace as a river. Even if the top master in the world falls into this poisonous gas and does not come out for a quarter of an hour, he will never come out." Coming.
Even if you can come out, if you stay in there for too long, you may not be able to be saved. ”
The third apprentice was named Li Duo. After wandering around in the world, he retired to a mountain village. He only taught one apprentice in his life. That person happened to be the rebel of the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Protector King Zhou Boguang. ”
This technique was probably brought to Hebei by the gun king Zhou Tian more than 40 years ago, so people think it is the northern style of shooting, but in fact it is not, it is the skill and chicness of the southern style. ”
"It doesn't sound like a northern faction, but a golden touch."
Diwei touched his chin, "The technique was probably based on the six-and-a-half-point stick learned from the Southern School, and combined with the Wulang Bagua stick technique, so it's not so much a gun as it is a stick with a sharpened head. .
"That's it."
Unexpectedly, Diwei is not only a human demon, but also a human spirit, or an encyclopedia. It seems that there is nothing in this world that he does not know, or information that he does not know.
Gao Tianyu was annoyed, but also admired him very much: "The intelligence collection of the masters inside the stick is really close to the gods, and they have a clear understanding of fire."
Dewei bent down with his hands in hand, staring at the uppers of the shoes, but suddenly asked lightly: "But the shooting skills of your guard seem to be familiar to me."
"Of course I have to rely on Mr. Di to take care of you. After all, you are the only master in the world and the gatekeeper of Yujing." Gao Tianyu said respectfully with an expressionless face.
Gao Tianyu burst into laughter, "Forget it, forget it. When I didn't say it, I meant that that person will definitely survive and become a trouble for us."
Dewey sneered, "So I'm not afraid of trouble, I'm just afraid that trouble won't come to my door."
"Huh?"
Di Wei has studied martial arts for many years and is familiar with the routines and techniques of many martial arts schools. He has a sharp eye and he can see through anyone in a few rounds. He knows who his master is and which school he is following. These things cannot be hidden from him.
"It is true that I made an oversight and allowed the traitor Bai Lian to lurk around me for so long?"
Unexpectedly, even in the fierce battle with Ren Qi, he still had enough energy to observe Zhou Boguang's movements.
Seemingly sensing Gao Tianyu's doubts, Di Wei said lightly: "It's funny to say that since I was a child, I have been told that people have eyes behind their backs and can see everything.
But this time, I am very sure that a [miracle] will happen to that person. ”
"But, I remember that the Golden Thread Gun is a small sect, and the Gun King Zhou Tian can only pass it down to three people in his lifetime.
Di Wei's face was expressionless, "Your bodyguard tried his best to serve the country, but he died in the ground. Instead, the irresistible thief escaped. Isn't this the case that God has no eyes?"
"If it is just lurking, it will naturally be a blessing in misfortune."
He said in surprise: "Manager Di, are you saying that there are spies from the White Lotus Sect lurking around me?"
With just one look, he could determine whether the person was dead or alive, or when he would die. Even if he was wrong, it was just a matter of him making up for it.
Gao Tianyu's applause stopped abruptly, his hands hung in the air for a moment, and then fell down seemingly naturally.
Gao Tianyu squinted at Di Wei, "Manager Di, what do you think the two people who escaped from the smoke had a chance of surviving?"
"That's a shame."
Perhaps it was due to the backlash from the evil spirit and strength of his marksmanship, but his first two apprentices both died young and did not pass on any disciples.
"The woman wearing the mask can survive, but the other person has been seriously injured. If there is no miracle, he will definitely die within three days. Moreover, his intestines will be pierced and his belly will be rotten. The appearance of death is terrible."
The whites of Diwei's eyes looked up like dead fish eyes, and he said in a nonchalant manner: "I'm just afraid that the White Lotus traitor has stolen some information that will be detrimental to the court."
"If God has eyes, Mr. Di, you can still..."
Gao Tianyu clapped gently, "Manager Di is indeed very powerful."
Dewey rubbed his nose. His experience with murder and dead people far exceeded ninety percent of the people in the world.
Zhou Boguang has only been with him as a bodyguard over the years. He has neither participated in uprisings anywhere nor assassinated court officials. He does not look like a backbone with a special status, but more like Gao Tianyu's shadow.
This is naturally an exaggeration, but it is not bad at all. Especially after the old slave entered the palace and made some achievements, this ability became more and more powerful. ”
Gao Tianyu's eyes flickered for a moment, then returned to normal, and said calmly: "I haven't asked him about his origin carefully. I only know that he is a Northern sect's marksmanship, which is fast and agile."
Gao Tianyu's hands tightened slightly.
"The old slave is terrified."
"Your Majesty, what I deal with in Ouchi and Yujing is trouble. All kinds of troubles, whether they are people or things, even monsters, ghosts and gods. I often come into contact with them. To me, trouble is like air. Always by my side.”
"I know that."
"You mean a miracle?"
Gao Tianyu smiled, "The most fearful thing in this world is the so-called miracle. This thing does not follow common sense, and there is no path to follow. It is uncertain when it will happen, or it will not happen at all.
< br>
He meant what he said, and there was already a thin layer of sweat on Gao Tianyu's back.
However, even though Zhou Boguang had kept such a low profile, Di Wei still noticed it at a glance.
Could it be that the title of "Man-Devil" for the Chief Internal Controller does not refer to his treachery and cruelty, but to the fact that nothing can escape his eyes and ears?
Only when he got here did Gao Tianyu realize that his attitude towards Di Wei might have been too dismissive.
He thought he had captured the feared chief steward, but in fact, he was a tourist with his hand stuck in the cage. Although the beast was locked in the cage and could not escape, but once If you are not careful, your hand will be bitten off easily.
Both sides are in a very dangerous situation, especially Gao Tianyu, who can only use wisdom and strategy to control Di Wei.
Because the two wise kings on the left and right are not around at the moment, with the remaining backbone of the White Lotus Sect around him, there is absolutely no way he can compete with Di Wei.
Therefore, Gao Tianyu quickly realized that only by continuing to act as "Prince Su" could Di Wei not become suspicious and kill him on the spot.
But somehow, he secretly doubted whether Dewei already knew his true identity, but just didn't care, or didn't intend to reveal it so quickly?
This suspicion spread in his heart like poison, gradually making Gao Tianyu feel uneasy.
Only then did he realize that his intelligence, which he thought was excellent, was actually so vulnerable in the face of strength.
However, Diwei really didn't seem to intend to pursue the case any further, and just raised his hand to Gao Tianyu.
"My lord, I can't blame you. Bai Lian's methods of rebelling against the party are changeable, despicable and cunning. It happened before that the Dharma Queen of White Lotus climbed into the bed of a certain minister in Yujing. It is not surprising that these people use any methods. Just please be more careful.”
After saying that, he bowed and left. It seemed that he had other things to arrange, and he couldn't chat with Gao Tianyu for too long here.
After watching him leave, Gao Tianyu's clenched heart finally relaxed a little, and he only felt a dull pain in his chest.
"Your Highness..."
Another guard came forward, his face also pale.
This man is also a member of the White Lotus Sect. He was far away just now and did not hear clearly the conversation between him and Dewei, but somehow he still felt like a light on his back, as if he was being scrutinized by a poisonous snake coiled around his feet.
"Nothing happened."
Gao Tianyu returned to his original indifferent look, not intending to explain, and waved his hand for everyone to go down.
Gao Tianyu stood there, speechless for a long time, and finally took a deep look at the palace surrounded by mist, his eyes slightly red.
……
After lying there for a long time, Yin Xiu, who had suffered the most damage from the mercury vapor among the others, had recovered and looked the same as usual.
At this time, the mercury vapor in the palace no longer spread outwards, but gathered into a group, looking like clouds floating in place.
Judging from its situation, it might take several days for the steam to dissipate.
And this is just because the atomization form produced by low temperature disappears, it does not mean that the originally colorless and odorless mercury will disappear in place.
As for when it will be possible to safely pass through the palace, no one knows, and no one has the courage and life to try.
"So, it is actually a big shot in Yujing who designed to frame you, and it is not the White Lotus Sect's meddling, or the manipulation of people inside?"
"It wasn't originally."
Ren Qi snorted coldly, "Whether it's arresting people or rescuing people, the evidence is just decoration.
Regardless of whether it is the White Lotus Sect or others, no matter how realistic and conclusive the evidence is fabricated, as long as Dewei and those adults don't believe it, then the evidence is no different than useless paper.
Dewey obviously believed in me, or he didn't believe that I would rebel and plot rebellion.
Therefore, only if someone with higher authority in Yujing gives an order, he will execute the order without hesitation, come after me and kill my whole family. ”
"You don't know who that person is?"
"Of course I don't know."
Ren Qi's face was cold, "If I knew, that person would be dead.
However, it was impossible for me to know who that person was from Dewei's mouth, because there is a common rule among us, that is, if a person can't speak even if one nail is pulled out, he will still be unable to speak if you pull out ten nails. ”
Hai Dongqing sat aside and listened, looking down at his hands.
"Do your fingers feel itchy?" Liu Banxian came over and asked him.
"Yeah, it's a little itchy." Hai Dongqing nodded blankly.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Hai Dongqing shook his head.
"What about this?"
Liu Banxian suddenly stretched out his hand and gently bent it at a slight angle on Haidongqing's nails.
"It hurts!"
With a loud shout, Hai Dongqing jumped up from the ground, his eyes widening.
"Okay, okay, what should I do if I shout so loudly to attract the officers and soldiers?"
Although I know that the officers and soldiers may not be able to come here because of the obstruction of mercury vapor, but they may go in another direction, but maybe they will leave spies here?
After stopping the play between the two, Yin Xiu looked at Ren Qi again.
"We can't find out anything from Dewey when he's alive, but if he's dead, it's not up to him."
"Oh?"
Ren Qi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered Yin Xiu's abilities.
He can indeed use [Bloody Memories] to search for the memory of the deceased by touching the blood of the deceased.
Although the memory can only be searched for the month before his death, this month is the point when Di Wei left Yujing. This may be the most important and critical time of the year, and it is also the time when he has the most contact with people.
For a person with such a distinguished status as him, whose every move stirs up the officialdom of Yujing, he must have many people to meet and many things to arrange before leaving Yujing.
Handing over orders, managing relationships, and handling procedures, Ouchi's general manager, Lao Xing, is the military minister beneath Yujing.
People like him are full of secrets. While they are involved in all secrets, they are also the makers of many secrets and the terrible mastermind behind the scenes.
If it weren't for the limited number of times [Bloody Memories] could be drawn, Yin Xiu might not be able to decipher all the secrets from that cold body even if it took several days.
What's more, now Di Wei is not only not a cold dead man, but also a majestic and unrivaled peerless master. In his hands, Yin Xiu may not be able to go through three rounds even if he tries his best.
In fact, not only is he himself difficult to deal with, but he also has as many Ouchi masters as there are crucian carp crossing the river, as well as the densely packed army of officers and soldiers surrounding him, which is enough to give them a headache.
However, knowing that Yin Xiu had a way, Ren Qi became visibly excited.
Even for this expert who is as cold as ice, the so-called "excitement" is just a little more sparkle in his eyes.
"Why, are you sure you can catch Dewei here?"
"No."
Ren Qi crossed his hands and said, "That guy is a top master. How could I possibly control him? But you also said, there is no need to live or die. Then I only need the sword in my hand to be fast enough to kill him." It’s not impossible for him.”
"Then you'd better kill him."
Yin Xiu glanced at him sideways, "If a master like you can't do it, then you can't expect us ordinary people, right?"
"Ordinary people?"
Ren Qi snorted coldly, "Nowhere in your body do you look like an ordinary person?"
Yin Xiu thought for a long time and finally said seriously: "Luck."
When Liu Banxian heard this, he couldn't help but cover his head.
"Brother Yin, if your luck is the same as that of ordinary people, then I will be really grateful." (End of Chapter)
