Chapter 400 Hidden Conspiracy

The two monks who suddenly arrived were clearly Songhou and Liu Jing who had escaped from the valley of Yangping Mountain that day.

On that day, Shi Guanghan and other six people planned to surround and kill Ximen Hao, but Liang Yan and Jin Yuye disrupted the plan. Three of the six people involved in the operation died and three escaped, and they were missing after that. But he didn't expect that Liu Jing and Songhou would gather here today. Judging from their appearance, except for Songhou's broken arm, which could not be restored, all other injuries seemed to have recovered.

It's just that although these two people have recovered their skills, they are kneeling on the ground fearfully at this moment, not even daring to make a sound. On the contrary, the fishing man and the man in Confucian robes stood by the stream in silence, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Haha, I already know everything." The man in Confucian robes turned his back to the two of them and suddenly said: "You can't blame you for this. The monk named Liang Yan is not from our Wu Kingdom. He is usually very low-key, so much so that even I They all looked away."

When Songhou and Liu Jing heard him say, "You are not to blame for this," their expressions were obviously relieved. They were about to kowtow and thank you again, but heard the man in Confucian robes slowly speak again:

"Liu Jing, as the person in charge of Lingbao Pavilion in the Wu Kingdom, has been working hard and doing a lot for your Majesty over the years. Although he made a mistake this time, there is no punishment. As for Songhou."

Songhou was well aware of this person's character. When he heard his change of subject, he immediately turned pale with fright and defended himself: "Although Song established his own business as a casual cultivator, he has been loyal to your Majesty over the years. There is hard work without credit.”

"Oh? Loyal?" The man in Confucian robes chuckled and said, "Are you saying that you are also loyal when you went to ask that man surnamed Liang in the middle of the night for the 'Thread Fairy' to break the poison in your body?"

When Songhou heard what he said, his expression immediately changed. Then, before the man could finish speaking, he suddenly shouted! He jumped up from the ground, turned around and ran away into the distance without looking back.

"hey-hey!"

The man in Confucian robes seemed to have expected it. At this time, he just smiled and did not pursue. Instead, he stabbed with the folding fan in his hand! Open it at once.

The fleeing Song Hou suddenly shook his body and fell from mid-air.

"Damn Gu worm!"

Song Hou clenched his teeth and tried hard to restrain the backlash of the Gu worms in his body, but he was still unable to do so. The mobilization of spiritual power became slower and slower, and soon he couldn't even use the flying escape technique.

He gritted his teeth and turned his head to say something for mercy to the two people by the stream, but he saw the man in Confucian robes slowly turning around, revealing a slightly thin face.

If Liang Yan were here, he would definitely recognize that this person was the storyteller "Mr. Tan" who was talking eloquently in Zuixiang Tower that day!

It's just that his face is dull and calm at the moment. He has completely lost the passion when he was telling the story that day. Instead, he looks like an indifferent spectator.

"My lord, please listen to my explanation!"

When Songhou saw him turning around, he hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself, but in his haste, he unexpectedly made eye contact with this man.

In an instant, Songhou, who was originally anxious and restless, actually calmed down. He just stood blankly in mid-air, seeming a little dazed.

Under the skin of his body, there were many fist-sized bumps rising one after another, distorting Songhou's appearance into something less than human.

boom!

There was an explosion sound, and Songhou's whole body exploded into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air, and the blood that exploded seemed to be spiritual and hovered in the mid-air until "Mr. Tan" looked away. Blood poured down from the air, dyeing the stream below red.

Liu Jing on the side looked at the Songhou who was walking with her just now, and instantly turned into a pool of blood mist. She couldn't help but feel scared in her heart and lowered her head even lower.

At this time, "Mr. Tan" had already looked away and turned to look at Liu Jing, only to hear him say lightly:

"You don't need to worry. As long as you do your best for your Majesty and don't play tricks like Song Hou, I will ensure that your path to Taoism will be smooth!"

"Yes!" Liu Jing didn't dare to be disobedient at this moment. She could only lower her eyebrows and bow her head in response.

"Mr. Tan" seemed quite satisfied, nodded and said: "You have done well before, but after this incident, the Wenxiang Sect behind Lingbao Pavilion must be alert, and this time they will definitely send people to Wu State to find out the cause. , you can no longer return to Lingbao Pavilion."

"That subordinate" Liu Jing said with a puzzled look on her face.

"It doesn't matter!" Mr. Tan waved his hand and said: "I have another task to give you here. I know that in order to survive this time, you have used the Tribulation Gu rewarded by Your Majesty. But as long as you complete this task properly, , I can intercede with Your Majesty and let him help you plant another Tribulation Gu."

Liu Jing's face lit up when she heard the words "Replacing Tribulation Gu". Even though she was a little suspicious of this insect before, she was not sure of its effectiveness. But this time, he was able to survive from Liang Yan's sword entirely because of this "Jie Gu". Now there is no doubt at all. He quickly fell to the ground and kowtowed to Mr. Tan to thank him.

"Okay, you go down. I will hand over the mission details to you in a few days." Mr. Tan said expressionlessly.

"yes!"

Liu Jing agreed, not daring to stop for a moment, and immediately took control of the escape light and flew towards the distance.

Mr. Tan watched Liu Jing fly further and further until she disappeared, and then he sighed softly and said: "I didn't expect that after all the hard work this time, I still fell short. I really want to take action myself and kill this Ximen Hao." .”

After hearing this, the man in black who was fishing just laughed and said: "You also know that it is impossible. Once we take action, there is a risk of exposing our origins. The Emperor's Palace is not a vegetarian, and those old immortals have been tracing more and more closely in recent years. ”

Mr. Tan nodded and said: "I know that your Majesty is always cautious in his actions and cannot tolerate any mistakes. That's why I tried my best to provoke a fight among the monks within the Kingdom of Wu."

"Haha, you are a smart man, so you naturally know what to do." The fishing man in black said, suddenly looking up at the birds in the air, and then with a slight movement of his right index finger, a wild goose cried out from the air. Fell down.

"It's just that your Majesty doesn't like people who are too smart. Your Majesty likes people who are absolutely obedient."

After the man in black finished speaking, there was no sound in the mountain stream, except for the sound of the gurgling stream and the whine of the wild geese in the air. Wait until the wild goose landed on the boulder by the stream and fell into a puddle of meat. The figure of the man in black has disappeared from the original fishing place, leaving only "Mr. Tan" in Confucian robes, with a thoughtful look on his face.
