Chapter 511 Plague

Nanzhou, Tianyumen, in the main hall of the main palace, a group of elders gathered, looking at Peng Youzai who was standing in the upper position with a cold face.

The master's face was so pale, it was obvious that something had happened, Feng Entai asked: "Master, is there something to call me to wait?"

Peng tilted his head again to signal, and the disciples at the side handed over a secret letter to the next elders for circulation.

Elder Ding, who had seen it for the first time, said "ah", and his expression changed drastically.

All the elders gathered around immediately, and rushed to read the contents of the letter. Those who saw the contents were all moved.

Peng said slowly again: "Chen Tingxiu, Elder Chen, died. He was killed by Wen Xinzhao, the wife of the head of the Tianxing Sect and the daughter of the previous head of the Tianxing Sect."

Although the news from the Tianyumen disciples from Wanshoumen has made it clear that Chen Tingxiu wanted to use the matchmaker incident to instigate Wen Xinzhao to kill someone with a knife, but Wen Xinzhao was angered and died outside the Wanshoumen mountain gate. Facing the pressure from the three major factions of the Yan Kingdom, the truth of the matter was kept secret, and they could only accept one million gold coins to settle the matter.

But Feng Entai still couldn't help asking, "How could this be?"

Peng Youzai: "Elder Chen was kicked out by Wen Xinzhao when he came to the door for the first time, and then Wen Xinzhao lured Elder Chen out of the mountain gate to kill him. If you want to kill him, you can lure him out and kill him at the beginning. Why wait until later? I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter. Strange, if there is a problem, it may have something to do with Niu Youdao who is in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!"

Holding the secret letter in his hand, Feng Entai was silent. On the one hand, he was his brother from the same school, and on the other hand, he was his sworn brother. When the decision to get rid of Niu Youdao was made here, it was difficult for him to express his opinion, so he could only keep silent.

"You little thief!" Lin Feixue, the only female elder of Tianyumen, stomped her feet in hatred, "Tianxingzong bullies people too much!"

Ding Kuai sighed: "The Tianxing sect is powerful, so what can we do?"

Peng gritted his teeth again and said, "Remember this enmity, and let the disciples of the younger generation remember that I, Tianyu Sect, will work hard to become stronger, so that in the future, I will avenge this hatred!"

Lin Feixue: "Niu Youdao has already hooked up with the three major sects, we must let Uncle Cheng rush to Wanshoumen to stop them as soon as possible."

Peng Youzai: "The little thief is treacherous. It's easy to hide a spear and it's hard to defend against it. Uncle Cheng should not show up in front of the little thief. He is afraid of accidents. Just let him go. The original plan remains the same. Let Uncle Cheng wait for the opportunity." Kill the thief. I have sent a message to the disciples in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, asking them to stay at the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, pay attention to Niu Youdao's movements, and cooperate with Uncle Cheng's actions."

...

Amiable green hills, the thatched villa is still there, and the solitary mound under the tree outside the villa.

Three golden wings came from afar, respectively swooping down and fleeing into three buildings in the forest.

As soon as Fei Changliu walked out of the hall, Zheng Jiuxiao and Xia Hua had already flew over one after another and gathered under the eaves of the hall.

"Have you also received news from Niu Youdao?" Fei Changliu asked.

Zheng and Xia each took out a copy of the transcribed secret letter from their sleeves, and Fei Changliu also took out a copy. The three of them compared it together and found that the content was exactly the same.

The content of the letter required the three factions to quickly mobilize the manpower of the shops on the ice and snow pavilion, intercept the messenger quickly, and make sure to take down the target. Niu Youdao wanted the letter in the messenger's hand.

Zheng Jiuxiao: "Where is he, and what is he going to do? Things are also in a daze, in the clouds. Didn't Song Tingwei's son, Song Shu, go to Shao Pingbo in Beizhou? Didn't this guy leave Nanzhou?" Is Zhou and Beizhou getting involved again? Or, do you still remember the enmity of Emperor Qingzong and insisted on eradicating the Song family?"

Xia Hua sighed: "This guy's style of doing things has always been that he sees the head and doesn't see the end, and he never reveals his bottom easily. The ghost knows what he is messing with. No matter what he wants to do, execute it! Don't you see the tone of the words? We must keep it secret, and we can only succeed and not fail. If there is a mistake, we must wipe our three factions from the ground of Nanzhou. This tone makes people uncomfortable."

Fei Changliu sighed: "So what if I'm uncomfortable? Anyway, after so long, I finally contacted us, at least it proved that we didn't break up with us. In the battle of Nanzhou, we vacillated, and they were already giving us Look at the color, if there is another mistake this time, I am afraid that this guy will really turn against us, and if Nanzhou cannot gain a foothold, our three factions will really become losers."

Zheng and Xia nodded. It was too easy for Niu Youdao to trouble them. He only needed to send a message to Shang Chaozong, and the resident troops would come to harass them and make them uncomfortable. They dared to kill them. Can Shang Chaozong's men fail?

"Hey, look at the situation of our three sects. Anyway, there are so many people. It depends on the face of the person, not to mention it. Look at that guy, an abandoned disciple of the Qing Dynasty. In terms of people, he is not as many as us, and in terms of strength, he is far behind. Not as good as us, but the actual situation is that we all have to run errands for him based on his face, what is this called?" Zheng Jiuxiao smiled wryly.

Xia Hua: "Don't complain, how many masters have we changed since the establishment of our three sects? No matter how difficult they are, they don't care about the second master. They only stick to the Shang Dynasty and never give up. They have supported the Shang Dynasty from the end of the road until now. How can Chaozong not be grateful to Dade?"

Zheng Jiuxiao: "It's boring to do this kind of comparison."

Xia Hua: "How do we compare? Which of the three of us would dare to kill Yan envoy? Would we dare to confront Tianyumen in Nanzhou?"

Fei Changliu raised his hand to interrupt, "Okay, stop arguing, let's give you a definite attitude if you want to do it or not!"

There was no choice, the three of them met for a while, and then broke up quickly. After a while, the three golden wings rushed to the sky and passed away...

The news went straight to the Ice and Snow Pavilion.

Xiao Tie, treasurer of Liuxianzong, Cao Heng, treasurer of Fuyunzong, and Li Huoyun, treasurer of Lingxiu Mountain, who received the news, did not dare to delay. The three of them quickly gathered in the hands of the Bingxue Pavilion for the urgent task.

In the snowstorm, the three passers-by flew out of the canyon one after another, soaring among the snowy mountains.

After leaving the Daxue Mountain, I went straight to a post station beside the official road in the snow field to buy a mount. Three people came here and met here.

There is no shortage of mounts in this station, and the monks who go to the ice and snow pavilion often leave their mounts here.

"drive!"

A group of less than twenty riders rushed out of the post station, splashed ice and snow on the official road, and galloped all the way in the cold wind.

After leaving the ice field, I saw the green field for the first time. At a crossroads, the horses did not stop, and the people on the horses bowed their hands to say goodbye to each other. They were divided into three roads, each going away with the sound of hooves, and the smoke and dust along the way...

Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, Linghua Valley.

The sky was full of sunset clouds, reflecting Xi Haitang's livid face. Xi Haitang, who got out of the cage, turned around and looked back.

Most of the upper echelons of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect came and gathered in front of a row of tall iron cages in the abbot. In the cages, more than twenty giant birds of various colors had collapsed and lay motionless inside the cages.

One of them, a giant bird with snow-white fur and body, made Xihaitang's flesh hurt even more.

The price of bird mounts is too expensive, not many people can use them, and this thing also has a life limit, it can live for about 20 years at most, and you can't sell many in a year, but the Wanshoumen want to sell so expensive . This is not something to take too much. If a bird is to be tamed enough to be obedient and carry people, it must be domesticated from an early age, so that it can be used to it from an early age, and it can only be sold when it is an adult. It takes three months to domesticate a bird that is suitable for sale. years of work.

This kind of thing is considered money if it is sold. To Wanshoumen, if it is not sold, it is hoarded goods. Wanshoumen has hundreds of them for sale.

But this is not a matter of price or price. More than 20 of them died at once, and five or six of them were not big enough, which was equivalent to childhood.

"Junior Brother Mao, what's going on?" Xi Haitang turned around and shouted angrily.

The old man on the side looked a bit sloppy, his gray hair was already messed up, his eyes were red and anxious.

This person is Mao Wushuang, the elder who is in charge of the Wanshoumen Linghua Valley. He lowers his head and looks uncomfortable. He also feels distressed!

Chao Jing said: "Junior Brother Mao, it's okay for you to keep quiet when something like this happened, at least you have to give everyone an explanation, right?"

Mao Wushuang replied in a hoarse voice: "I don't know what's going on, one of them suddenly yelled impatiently in the cage, jumping up and down, and it was useless to comfort them, just watched them fall down gone."

Chao Jing: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be. Linghuagu has already mastered the domestication of this kind of bird very proficiently. Unless the body is weak or has some disease, it is not easy to die suddenly. Did it eat something that shouldn't be eaten? thing?"

Mao Wushuang cried: "The food we eat is all the live animals hunted from the mountains by the disciples in our sect. It's the same as usual!"

Chao Jing leaned over and stretched out his hand to shake the water in the sink, raised his hand to his nose and sniffed, "Where's the water? Is there any problem with the water?"

Mao Wushuang stomped his feet and said, "I've checked everything, and I didn't find any poison."

Chao Shenghuai, who was hiding behind, suddenly said, "Sect Leader, could it be some kind of plague?"

As soon as this remark came out, Xihaitang was reminded, and Xihaitang immediately turned around and asked, "Is there any problem with the birds on Juling Mountain?"

Everyone knew that he was afraid of contagion, the elder in charge of Juling Mountain was named An Shougui, and said slowly: "There is no abnormality there for the time being."

Xihaitang pointed to a row of iron cages in front of him, "Leave a few corpses in the secret room for careful inspection, and immediately bury the rest and destroy them. No contact with other spirit beasts and birds is allowed. The venue here should also be carefully inspected!" "

Turning around to look at Mao Wushuang, he said angrily: "Find out the situation first, and then deal with it!"

The old man Mao Wushuang looked like he was about to cry, whether he was dealt with or not was secondary, he really felt sorry for him!

Those who gathered for a while then dispersed, and those who stayed behind immediately carried out the intention of the head.

Chao Shenghuai did not leave in a hurry, but said to a disciple who was in charge of the destruction: "Senior brother, if there are a lot of birds and beasts in the door, if it is really a plague, it is best to bury it far away, otherwise the infection will spread and the matter will become serious." , if it’s going to hurt you senior brother, it’s best to destroy it in the forest outside the sect!”

The disciple nodded solemnly, deeply agreeing.

Chao Shenghuai didn't say anything sarcastic, nor did he dislike whether the corpse was infected with the plague. Instead, he brought two people to help, and one of them carried a huge bird corpse over the mountains and far away.

Of course, Chao Shenghuai picked up only the younger one.

When it was half dark, the party stopped to dig a hole on the spot, and some people went to cut firewood, but Chao Shenghuai wandered around.
