Text Chapter 2095 The Old Thief Took the Bait

After receiving the news from the palace, Yang Qing collected the Star Bell, tilted his head to look at Yan Xiu, nodded, and then waved his hand to collect Yan Xiu and Wei Shu.

Then he turned to the six generals and said: "You can stop moving. Please calculate the exact time when Wei Shu arrives at the Luanshi Star Region. We must calculate the time when Wei Shu arrives at the departure point after leaving the palace."

The six generals understood what he meant. This was to avoid the suspicion of the old fox if the time was not right, so they met together to discuss the calculation...

There was a mountain, and the mist was lingering, as if it was real or illusory.

There was a Taoist temple in the mountain, ancient and simple, with the door of the main hall open. On the cushion inside, Xiahou Tuo, with gray hair, sat cross-legged with his hair loose, eyes closed, and a withered heart.

After receiving the message from Wei Shu, he opened his eyes slightly and took out the Star Bell. At first, he didn't care. When he heard Wei Shu say that he got the magic grass from Miao Yi, his eyes suddenly widened a little. Wei Shu went to see if the magic grass was really in Miao Yi's hands. He knew that he had informed him in advance, but he didn't expect Miao Yi to give the magic grass to Wei Shu.

The star bell in his hand replied in a hurry: Are you sure it is really the blood lotus?

Wei Shu: After careful inspection, it should be the blood lotus without a doubt.

Xiahou Tuo: How could Niu Youde give you the blood lotus so easily? Without the blood lotus, isn't he afraid that the Xiahou family will go back on their word and not cooperate with him to stabilize the situation of the Southern Army?

Wei Shu: The old slave also felt strange and asked him. He said bluntly that he would let the demon monk know that the blood lotus had been given to the Xiahou family, so that the Xiahou family and the demon monk could slowly divide it. He asked me again, in this case, would the Xiahou family still want to trouble him? He didn't believe that the other kings were willing to see the Southern Army change again, and he was confident that he would get the support of the other kings. He also warned that if the Xiahou family dared to mess around and forced him into a corner, he would do anything, and he didn't mind cooperating with the demon monk to deal with the Xiahou family. He said that the grudge between the Xiahou family and the evil monk should be solved by ourselves. He did not want to see the evil monk cause trouble. He would definitely help if he could, but there was no need to rush to the front for the Xiahou family. He asked me to bring the magic grass back to the third master.

Xiahou Tuo sneered and replied: It is not surprising that he did so. I never expected him to rush to the front for the Xiahou family. We will see the situation later. What did the third master say?

Wei Shu: The third master did not say anything. He asked me to bring the magic grass back to him.

Xiahou Tuo was silent for a while, his eyes flickered, and replied: Go.

Wei Shu: Yes!

In the storage space, Yan Xiu was summoned again after making a noise. Yang Qing asked immediately: "What did the old thief say?"

Yan Xiu said: "The old thief did not ask to send the blood lotus, but asked to send it to Cao Man."

"This..." Ao Tie and others looked at each other, Shan Qing spread her hands, "In this case, our plan has failed, right?"

Bai Fenghuang, who was listening, breathed a sigh of relief. For her, it was better that the plan failed, so that she would not have to bear any danger.

Meng Ru said in a deep voice: "Deacon, is our guess wrong? Wei Shu is not a trap at all."

Shan Qing sneered: "Hehe! Isn't that perfect? ​​We can just kill him directly!"

Yang Qing raised his hand to stop him, staring at Yan Xiu and said: "Tell me in detail how the two sides communicated, and try not to miss any words!"

"Wei Shu reported that he had seen the blood lotus in the prince's hand..." Yan Xiu immediately told the details of the process, and the answer to Xiahou Tuo was actually one of the various coping options that Yang Qing had arranged early in the morning.

After listening, Yang Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Did he not ask more about the blood lotus?"

Yan Xiu: "No!"

Yang Qing suddenly glanced at everyone: "The old thief only cares about how the blood lotus was obtained. For the Xiahou family, the blood lotus is so important, but he doesn't care about the placement issue. This is very abnormal!"

Ao Tie pondered and said, "What does the great steward mean?"

Yang Qing said in a deep voice, "Wait!"

Outside the Taoist temple, under a vigorous old pine tree, a strong man sat cross-legged in meditation. His face was 60% similar to Xiahou Tuo, but he was obviously much younger than Xiahou Tuo.

"Boss!" Xiahou Tuo's deep voice came from the Taoist temple.

The man slowly opened his eyes, stopped his training, stood up, walked quickly into the Taoist temple, bowed to Xiahou Tuo and said, "Father."

In fact, many people in the Heavenly Court knew this man. This man was Xiahou Yong, the eldest son of Xiahou Tuo. He was assassinated in his early years. Now he appeared here, which is worth pondering.

Xiahou Tuo stretched out his hand, and Xiahou Yong immediately helped him up with both hands.

The father and son walked out of the Taoist temple and slowly walked down the stairs. Xiahou Tuo said, "Let someone ask the people stationed at Niu Youde's place to see if there is anything unusual with Niu Youde."

"Yes!" Xiahou Yong responded and immediately dodged away. He quickly flew to the courtyard of another Taoist temple and walked in quickly. He saw a Taoist priest dancing with a sword under a pine tree.

Xiahou Yong took out a star bell and handed it to him, "Contact the people at Niu Youde's place to see if there is anything unusual."

The Taoist priest took the star bell and did as he was told.

When Xiahou Yong returned to the Taoist temple, Xiahou Tuo was strolling leisurely in the mountains outside the Taoist temple.

Xiahou Yong flashed over and reported: "Father, there is indeed something unusual with Niu Youde."

Xiahou Tuo narrowed his eyes suddenly, slowly turned back to look at him, "What's unusual?"

Xiahou Yong said: "Niu Youde met the new beautiful concubine while walking in the palace, and Yun Zhiqiu picked a fight with him. The two even fought, making Niu Youde very embarrassed and losing face!"

Xiahou Tuo was stunned for a while, his eyes gradually relaxed, and after a flickering look, he asked: "Is that it?"

Xiahou Yong said: "For the time being, this is it, and no other abnormalities have been found."

Xiahou Tuo stopped, looked into the distance, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Wei Shu is coming over to make arrangements."

"Yes!" Xia Houyong agreed.

Xiahou Tuo took out the Star Bell and contacted Wei Shu.

In the storage space, after learning Yan Xiu's reaction, Yang Qing summoned Yan Xiu out again.

Yan Xiu showed up and said: "Xiahou Tuo sent a message to Wei Shu again and asked Wei Shu to send the blood lotus directly to him."

The six generals looked at each other, and Ao Tie cursed, "It seems like it's really a trap. This old fox is really cunning. Fortunately, I followed his wishes before. If Wei Shu took the initiative to show any intention of meeting him, I'm afraid he would immediately be suspicious." ”

Yang Qing asked: "Did Xiahou Tuo say that the blood lotus would not be given to Cao Man? How would Wei Shu explain to Cao Man?"

Yan Xiudao: "Let Wei Shu ask, Xiahou Tuo said he will make arrangements later, and give the blood lotus to him first."

"Bang!" Yang Qing suddenly punched his fist and shouted excitedly, "It's done! The old thief took the bait!"

The six generals looked happy, and Yang Qing suddenly pointed to the six men and said: "Recalculate and figure out the right time to arrive at the Rock Star Territory. Don't make any mistakes at this juncture!"

"Yes!" The sixth general accepted the order excitedly.

Yang Qing sent a message to Yan Xiu again: "After arriving in the Rock Star Territory, everyone will be attached to Wei Shu. You must make sure that your control of Wei Shu is flawless!"

Yan Xiu nodded slightly.

Bai Fenghuang, who was listening in the audience, looked at the speechless expressions of these people and realized that he could not escape the disaster after all, so he still had to take the risk.

The misty waves are vast, the lakes and mountains are beautiful, and the boat is leisurely. The old fishing man took out a star bell and listened to it, then slowly put away his fishing rod.

The old man is the river god here, his name is Tang Duo. He has been the river god here for many years. In his early years, he was a high-ranking commander. Later, he committed a crime and was almost executed. He couldn't figure out who the person was, and he didn't want to ask, and the noble person who secretly helped him had been funding his cultivation resources for a long time. He didn't have to worry about the shortage of resources, and he lived happily for so many years.

Of course, it is not for nothing that noble people help me. Occasionally, I ask him to do something, a small matter without any risk at all. He has not worked for him a few times in so many years.

Just now, news from the noble man came again, and it was the same thing.

After Tang Duo put away the fishing rod, he didn't dare to delay. He put away the fishing rod together with the boat and quickly sailed away in the sky.

Reach the vast starry sky, identify the direction, and fly away quickly.

The place we are going to is not far from here. It is a rocky star field. Beyond that rocky star field is the boundless unknown star field.

After arriving at the Rock Star Field, Tang Duo flew through it and finally hid at the end of the Rock Star Field. He got into a cave in a big stone and observed the surrounding starry sky from the dark holes dug on all sides.

After waiting for nearly five hours, I finally found a person walking through the rocks. Judging from the behavior of avoiding the rocks, it was obvious that he was familiar with the terrain here.

When the person was close and his Dharma Eyes could see clearly, Tang Duo could tell from his body shape that the person was the one who had been here several times before, even though he was wearing a mask.

After watching the visitor escape from the end of the rocky star field into the depths of the vast starry sky, Tang Duo took out the star bell and reported the situation in detail to the nobleman behind him.

The noble man followed the old rules and asked him to stare around to see if anyone else was following or approaching.

Tang Duo obeyed and continued to observe his surroundings silently.

In fact, he was also curious in his heart, wondering what the noble man meant by doing this, and why the person who occasionally came here wanted to go to the vast unknown star field. What secrets were there?

Wei Shu, who was flying all the way, had a star bell hidden in his sleeve and kept in touch with Yan Xiu from time to time.

From the moment they approached the Rock Star Territory, everyone had been focused on Wei Shu and did not dare to take the lead.

To be honest, this is very dangerous, because there is no way to know what danger will be approaching, and it is completely dependent on Yan Xiu's control of Wei Shu. But for Yang Qing and others, they dare not make any omissions when facing people like Xia Houtuo , this risk must be taken.

How long they had been walking, how long they still had to go, and whether there was any situation around them, Wei Shu reported to Yan Xiu regularly, and Yan Xiu informed Yang Qing and others.

It was not until halfway through the journey that Yang Qing, who was silently guarding in front of the star map and compass, slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and looked at Bai Fenghuang, who had transformed into Wei Shu. Bai Fenghuang was repeatedly familiar with Wei Shu's words, deeds, and demeanor.

When he was nearing his destination, Wei Shu contacted Xiahou Tuo again and asked for the specific meeting address. After getting the reply, he told Yan Xiu.

Knowing that they were about to see Xiahou Tuo, everyone's nerves became tense.

Reaching the end, Wei Shu broke through the air barrier and landed in a deep mountain, casting a spell to scan the surrounding area. (To be continued.)
