Chapter 358
After asking, Zhao raised his head and saw He Miaocong's surprised, astonished and strange expression. He blinked his eyes, quite unbelievable.
"Master Zhao, do you really know nothing?"
"Really." Zhao shook his head.
He smiled bitterly and explained: "I have been in the capital for the past one or two months. This time I came to Jiangnan, I was just on a business trip, and I really don't know what happened."
"Is that so." He Miaocong was thoughtful.
Touching his chin beard, his eyes flickered repeatedly, as if he didn't know whether to say it or not. After a short hesitation, he spoke faintly and tried: "I wonder if Master Zhao can tell me why you came."
After speaking, he raised his hand and explained: "Master Zhao, don't misunderstand, I don't want to pry into the secrets of the Jinyiwei, I just think it may be the same thing."
"Ah?" Zhao almost jumped up and stared at him in amazement.
It can't be the same thing. If so many people want to kill Liu Zhiyuan, then what's the point of escorting him? Run away while there is time!
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Zhao quickly calmed down, took a long breath, adjusted his facial expression, and waved his hand to signal him to come closer.
He whispered in his ear: "Master, this matter came out of my mouth and entered your ears. You must not let a third person know, otherwise Wudang will be destroyed!"
Seeing Zhao's extremely cautious expression, He Miaocong couldn't help but nod to indicate that no third person would know.
Zhao looked around and whispered in his ear: "There is news that a grandmaster appeared in Jiangnan. The higher-ups asked us to investigate it."
Grand, grandmaster! He Miaocong was stunned and swallowed his saliva. He also carefully glanced around and asked in a low voice: "Master Zhao, why did this grandmaster come here?"
"Murder!"
"The target?"
"There is a guess from the higher-ups that it may be Jiang Fengji, the elder Jiang." Zhao knew that he couldn't mention Liu Zhiyuan, so he was quick-witted and pulled out Jiang Fengji, who had retired at home.
Fortunately, Jiang Fengji was famous enough, and He Miaocong had no experience in officialdom, so he didn't have too many doubts. He just took a breath and his face changed several times.
After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "It seems that we are not here for the same thing."
Zhao Jue also breathed a sigh of relief, and showed an imperceptible smile, just fooling around.
A cunning light flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "The Taoist priest hasn't answered my question yet."
"Yes, yes." He Miaocong came back to his senses.
He smiled awkwardly and asked back, "Does Lord Zhao know what big thing happened in Bianzhou recently?"
"I know. There was only one big thing in Bianzhou recently, and that was the reappearance of the Bu Tian Bao Jing. I wonder if I am right?"
"Lord Zhao is right. But Lord Zhao doesn't know that the Bu Tian Bao Jing disappeared for a while after it appeared, and recently it has appeared again!"
Ah? Although Zhao Jue's face was as calm as dead water, his heart had already set off an uproar.
Others don't know the inside story, but he doesn't know it? The reappearance of the Bu Tian Bao Jing in the Jianghu was a scam he had carefully woven! He had not been in Jiangnan recently, so how could there be news of the Bu Tian Bao Jing again?
Could it be... this time it was true?
He did not know, and did not dare to jump to conclusions, but he knew that something was fishy!
With a suspicious mind, Zhao Jue looked heavy and asked, "I wonder what news has been spread this time?"
He Miaocong did not hesitate and said frankly, "Someone found Yu Baopu's body..."
"So that's the case, I'm afraid they will be happy for nothing again." Zhao Jue smiled and teased.
He did not need to think about whether the body was real or fake, let alone check it out. He killed the person himself, so how could he not know whether he had the Bu Tian Bao Jing on him?
However, this made He Miaocong a little surprised, and he asked tentatively, "Does Lord Zhao know the inside story?"
"I dare not say the inside story, but there is a little rumor." Zhao Jue saw that he was chasing him closely, so he simply lied to the end.
He said softly, "I have some personal relationship with Lord Lu. I remember Lord Lu said that the Bu Tian Bao Jing should not be in the Sword God himself."
"Oh, so that's the case." He Miaocong nodded and smiled. This explanation is reasonable. As the commander of the Jinyiwei and a great master, it is not surprising that Lu Wenyu knows some secrets.
The two were silent for a moment, and Zhao Jue remembered that he still had something to ask, so without hesitation, he asked straightforwardly: "We have talked too much. The Taoist priest hasn't answered the question just now."
He Miaocong patted his forehead and laughed, "Look at my memory, it's really. Lord Zhao asked why so many warriors gathered here?"
"Yes."
"It's a long story." He Miaocong rubbed his eyes.
Bitterly explained: "Let me tell you a little bit. I wonder if Lord Zhao has heard of Xu Zhenjun?"
"I have heard of it." Zhao Jue said.
The current emperor has been worshipping the Three Pure Ones for many years and practicing the method of tranquility with all his heart. If the superior likes something, the subordinates will like it even more. Anyone who wears an official robe knows some knowledge of Taoism, not to mention the famous figure Xu Zhenjun.
"It's good to have heard of it." He Miao was happy, but then his face quickly dimmed.
He shook his head bitterly and said, "Since Lord Zhao has heard of it, I won't mention Xu Zhenjun's deeds. Can I get straight to the point?"
"It couldn't be better!"
He organized his words and told the story. It turned out to be very simple. It was just that a hunter found an ancient tomb on the mountain behind the town and found two ancient scriptures in it.
Since the hunter didn't know many words, he went to a fortune teller on the street to have a look. Unexpectedly, the ancient scriptures were quite obscure and difficult to understand. The fortune teller could understand the words, but the meaning was not very clear.
It happened that an old Taoist priest passed by, and several people simply took the metal to the Taoist priest to solve their doubts. Who knew that after opening the ancient scriptures, the old Taoist priest was suddenly shocked, his face was full of shock and surprise, and he kept muttering mysterious words such as "Xu Zhenjun appeared".
When the fortune teller heard the name Xu Zhenjun, he was also stunned and told the hunter to keep it well, saying that the scriptures were divine objects!
Although the hunter didn't understand, he still obeyed and carefully put away the scriptures.
Strange things are still to come. That night, several masked men climbed over the wall into the hunter's house, bought two scriptures with two thousand taels of silver, and asked for the detailed location of the ancient tomb before floating away.
Soon, the news reached the ears of the neighbors. The temptation of thousands of silver coins was too great, so many people went up the mountain to look for it. As a result, some people really found a few scriptures, and someone immediately bought them at a high price, and even offered a price of tens of thousands of taels of silver for a scripture.
With actual cases in front of them, one person spread ten, ten spread a hundred, and the more they spread, the more mysterious it became. The scriptures were said to be written by Xu Zhenjun, and the ancient tomb was also said to be the burial place of Xu Zhenjun.
What kind of person is Xu Zhenjun? He was an immortal who flew away in broad daylight! The remaining objects must be mysterious and extraordinary!
So, gradually, some people from the rivers and lakes appeared and went up the mountain to look for the ancient tomb, intending to find martial arts secrets and immortal cultivation methods. The news spread more and more, and more and more people gathered, forming such a scale.
After listening to the whole story, Zhao couldn't help but frown. Indistinctly, he actually smelled the smell of conspiracy!
