Chapter 74 The Uninvited Guest
Overcast and rainy, dark clouds, frequent ground vibrations...
This is the current Shengjing City.
The people in Shengjing City have gradually become accustomed to these kinds of visions and no longer make a fuss about them.
Everything seems to have returned to its original tranquility.
But is this really the case?
At least those rumors about Li Chengqian's succession have not disappeared, and various undercurrents are still surging...
Today's Shengjing City is actually more like a firecracker, just a spark will ignite and explode!
Of course, it's hard to say where the critical point of this outbreak is, and which side will explode first...
Right now, it seems that a flame is about to ignite...
In the palace, in a side hall.
Wei Zhongxian is entertaining four uninvited guests.
The four came on behalf of the Kaiyuan Sect, Nanmen Sect, Shenfeng Sect, and Beirong Sect respectively, saying that they wanted to talk to Li Chengqian about an important matter.
Wei Zhongxian was not strong enough alone, so he had to bring the four of them into the side hall of the palace first, and stabilize the four of them for the time being, trying to delay the time as much as possible, waiting for Li Chengqian's return.
These four people also had lingering fears because of Gan Ning's strong momentum last time, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so they followed Wei Zhongxian to the side hall with a little displeasure.
"I don't know why the four masters are here, why?"
Wei Zhongxian ranks first, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Hmph, we are all high-level powerhouses of Huashen, talk to us, I'm afraid you are not qualified enough!"
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a burly appearance and a fiery temper. Zhou Qihai, the great elder of the Nanmen Sect, was known as the Nanmen Fierce Saber, and his cultivation at the seventh level of Transformation God was also unparalleled.
"Oh, really?"
Wei Zhongxian looked at the old man in a blue Taoist robe with a half-smile.
"You! Hmph!"
Wei Zhongxian stared at the blue-robed old man. This person was Fang Yonghe, the Fourth Elder of the Kaiyuan Sect, with a cultivation level of the Sixth Level of Transformation God. In terms of strength, he was a little worse than Fang Qingshan, the third elder of the Kaiyuan Sect who was beheaded by Li Mu.
Fang Yonghe felt distressed in his heart at this moment, not because he wanted to come, but because Yuan Lingzi died, Kaiyuanzong had no high-ranking powerhouse in Shengjing City, and now two sects and two sects gathered in the palace, and only he could barely represent Kaiyuan Zong came.
After all, people from the other sects and sects came to the palace, wouldn't it be even more unbearable if no one came from his Kaiyuan sect?
At that time, Kaiyuanzong will suffer even more if they get any benefits from one sect and two sects.
Therefore, Fang Yonghe had no choice but to drive the ducks to the shelves, and represented Kaiyuan Zong with the cultivation base of the sixth level of Huashen to come to the palace.
"Ahem, Eunuch Wei, we Ming people don't speak dark words. We came here today only to meet the king of the Tang Dynasty. You should invite the king out."
The old man sitting next to him looked haggard, coughed constantly, and spoke weakly. I don't know if it was caused by a mistake in his practice. This person's name is Qi Guohong, and he is now one of the four vice-masters of the Kamikaze Sect.
It is said that when Qi Guohong was young, he was the prince of a small country. After his family and country were ruined, he joined the Kamikaze Sect when he had nowhere to go. Since then, he has been struggling in the Kamikaze Sect. One of the four vice-masters of Fengjiao, he can also be regarded as a legendary figure.
Wei Zhongxian took a deep look at Qi Guohong, he could tell that this Qi Guohong had a story in his heart, and maybe it could be put into action.
But this is not the time to think about these things, Wei Zhongxian thought for a while and replied: "Do you all want to see my king?"
"Nonsense, is it possible that we want to see you, the eunuch?"
Zhou Qihai glanced at Wei Zhongxian and said angrily.
"I want to see my king. It's easy. Please explain why you are here. If so, our family can invite my king to come out and make a decision, right?"
Wei Zhongxian's face remained unchanged, he took a sip of hot tea, and calmly brought the topic back to the original point.
"You fool me?"
Zhou Qihai was furious,
It's about to happen.
"Elder Zhou wait a minute!"
At this moment, the old man in red, who had never spoken, spoke out to stop Zhou Qihai's outburst.
Zhou Qihai glanced at the old man in red, showing apprehension, turned his head away, and said no more.
kindness?
The words of the old man in red made Wei Zhongxian frown, unable to understand the old man's intention.
To be honest, Wei Zhongxian was most afraid of this mysterious old man in red.
Dongchang Changwei has collected very little information about this person, only knows that he is the only deputy leader of the Beirong Sect, and he is suspected to be at the eighth level of Huashen, and he does not know anything about this person's name, surname, record, etc.
Even other people with two sects and one religion know little about him, and they don't know the details of this person at all.
Therefore, some people call him the old man in red.
"Eunuch Wei, I guess the king is not in the palace right now?"
Although the tone of the old man in red was light, there was an undeniable meaning.
Sure enough, being old and not dying is a thief, and this cunning old man in red can see through the truth at a glance.
The other three people hadn't thought much about it before, but now that Hongyi mentioned it cunningly, combined with the fact that Li Yuanfang led 30,000 chariots out of the palace recently, and Wei Zhongxian's constant prevarication, it is not difficult to analyze that Li Chengqian is probably not in Shengjing City at the moment.
So does it mean that the unparalleled general is no longer in the palace?
All four of them had some ideas in their hearts.
Wei Zhongxian's heart skipped a beat, secretly calling out that something was wrong.
"I'm too worried, my king is retreating in the palace, our family just doesn't want to disturb my king because of some trivial matters."
Wei Zhongxian laughed lightly, understatement, trying to cover up the past.
"Ha ha!"
The old man in red smiled and said nothing, his eagle-eyed eyes stared directly at Wei Zhongxian, as if he had already seen through Wei Zhongxian.
"Ahem, since that's the case, why don't you bother Eunuch Wei to invite the king here. If the king blames me, I will have my own say!"
Qi Guohong coughed and said intermittently, his pale and feeble face looked just like the old man who was dying of serious illness and was lying in bed in the ordinary people's home.
But in the face of this sick ghost, Wei Zhongxian did not dare to be careless, this person's eyes were fixed and unshakable, and there was a lot of meaning in his words, if Wei Zhongxian was not careful, he would be out of control.
"The king is still in seclusion. Our family really dare not disturb it easily. You may wish to explain why you are here, so that our family can explain something to the king, right?"
Wei Zhongxian pondered for a while, and said with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"I don't have anything to say to you. If you are sensible, hurry up and call that bullshit king out. Otherwise, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"
Zhou Qihai's anger finally exploded, he stood up, pointed at Wei Zhongxian, and shouted angrily.
"Elder Zhou, be safe and don't be impatient, can you leave Wei Zhongxian to me to clean up?"
Fang Yonghe bowed slightly to Zhou Qihai.
"it is good!"
Zhou Qihai rolled his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the anger on his face disappeared without a trace, and his expression was as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Wei Zhongxian's eyes narrowed slightly, this Zhou Qihai is not simple!
"Since Elder Fang is interested in the competition, we don't mind giving you advice! Please!"
Wei Zhongxian walked out of the side hall first, and stood in the air in the open space outside the hall, looking down at Fang Yonghe with contemptuous eyes.
