Chapter 418 – King Tang
Zhuo Qingqing fell silent as she listened, she sort of understood why Xue Mu was still cautious this time when he entered the capital with a force twice as strong as usual. Because Xue Mu felt that he was facing the most powerful enemy in his life, even when he faced Lin Wu Ya, who was a half-step Harmonized Dao, he had never seen him like this ……
The key was that this person was still hidden, and so far was at a loss.
The Star and Moon Sect’s capital division, and even Department Six, have been continuously investigating the original plague incident. Xiahou Di also sent Xue Mu in the world of martial arts to dig Chu Tianming, formed a brand new secret detective division, mainly responsible for investigating this matter, as well as Xue Mu reminded of the Department of Six internal traitors.
The traitor in Department Six was related to Xie Changsheng, and Xie Changsheng was related to the plague, so the two things could be one thing. Unfortunately, to this day there were no half clues.
But the more he thought about these things, the less suspicious Ji Wuyou became. Department Six Chief Constable as his own brother, the relationship is too close to be true, take the initiative to help him pull Xue Mu to fight for the position, the support has reached this level, what is the need to take off his pants and fart in her under the insertion of spies?
Xue Mu also admitted that at the moment, if he had to choose one to support, he would really choose Ji Wuyou. Regardless of whether his inclination was in line with the interests of the Star Moon Sect or not, at least he was less suspicious.
Of course, it was impossible to make a choice so casually, even with Xiahou Di’s relationship, Xue Mu had to compare and observe the thoughts of the other princes.
He openly brought his wife and daughter out shopping is a signal: to find me ah.
In the past, when the princes sought external support, they basically only sought the Eight Sects of the Righteous Path. Because in the eyes of the vast majority of the people in the court, the Devil’s Sect is still subject to common resistance, like Zheng Yezhi’s attitude towards the Devil’s Sect is very obvious, and Xue Mu business requirements can not be transferred to the Devil’s Sect, Xiao Qingwu also said that the Medicine King Valley doctors are not allowed to join the Devil’s Sect to practice medicine.
So looking for reinforcements from the Devil Sect might instead have the side effect of angering the otherwise neutral people. The fact that Ji Wuyi and the Acacia Sect were mixed together had caused the court to fall in judgment, and other princes would be more cautious if they wanted to follow suit.
It is also Xue Mu this kind of oddball existence, and the court three sects and Department Six good relations, side effects are not big. But in the end, it still belongs to the opposite interests of the righteous path, once he is approached, it means losing the support of the righteous path. The one that would be the first to come running to him at this point in time would be interesting to watch.
“Dad, there’s still a lot of fun in the capital.”
After not seeing him for a long time, the capital division still hadn’t changed much, bustling and bustling with traffic. The ones who should be setting up fights were still doing so, and the roadside vendors hawking their wares were coming and going.
Ji Qingyuan’s paralysis didn’t affect the people’s lives, apart from a few more worrying talks about the country and the people after tea, they actually went about their lives how they should.
Curry crouched in front of a stall and watched as the stall owner poured strange sugar juices over molds, printing out one different animal shape after another, and skewering them with wooden sticks to form sugar dragons and sugar horses. Curry Night laughed so hard that he couldn’t see out of his eyes, stretching out his little hand and shouting, “Daddy I want that that that ……”
Xue Mu pulled out money, “Which one?”
“That that ……” Curry Night tangled for a while, really see which are very cute, can not choose. Finally made a small hand grasp posture: “I want all of them!”
Xue Mu threw a piece of silver and laughed, “You just squat here and eat until you get tired of it. By the way, does Lone Shadow eat?”
Ye Lone Shadow sighed helplessly behind him, “Can you not always let me talk, it’s weird.”
“I’m afraid that you’ll suffocate and not know what’s good for you.” Xue Mu took a phoenix for Zhuo Qingqing, and after thinking about it, he took another piglet and shoved it behind him.
The piglet directly disappeared out of thin air, as if there was another dimension there, and the stall owner bulged his eyes as if he had seen a ghost. Curry night jumped feet said: “old uncle don’t look la, that piglet is no more, make another one well ……”
“Oh …… oh ……”
In fact, the little piggy just entered the hidden aura of the Traceless Dao, and outsiders couldn’t see it. Ye Guying was very speechless holding the wooden stick, looking at the smiling piglet, not knowing what to say.
She really doesn t have this kind of childishness ……
Her childish heart had long been lost in the harsh training and long missions, lost in the bloody killings, drifted away into the mud of the wind and rain, and if she wanted to turn back to find it, she could no longer find it.
She looked at the piggy for a long time, did not go to eat it, just silently put it away in the ring.
Looking down at Curry Night’s cheerful smile as she hugged a large handful of small animals, she suddenly sprang up with a hint of jealousy.
“Let’s go for a walk to Windstorm House?” Xue Mu laughed, “Let’s see if they’ve started talking about Water Margin here yet.”
The Windstorm Building in the capital was really talking about the Water Margin, and it opened for the first time today. The entire lobby was overcrowded, not to mention the seats, there was no place to stand. Upstairs boxes are also open, countless people standing in the corridor, leaning on the railing to look down, blearily listening to the old man in the center of the foamy mouth to tell the story.
Zhuo Qingqing then laughed: “Gongzi this appeal oh, I don’t know how many irons in the fire.”
Xue Mu hemmed and hawed and stretched his head to look inside.
“…… Only to see the cave scraping a loud sound, it is like the sky destroying the ground, Yue shook the mountain avalanche. After the sound, only to see a black gas, from the cave will roll up, set off half of the temple corner. The black gas, straight to the sky, scattered into a hundred golden light, looking in all directions to go.”
Xue Mu crowded outside tsk tsk sigh: “Almost finished ah ……”
I only heard someone in the hall shout, “Another god and monster story, it’s so boring, why is Sanhao Xue Sheng always doing this now?”
Xue Mu turned his head to look and froze. The speaker was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a tiger’s back, gnarled beard, and a compelling aura, but he was dressed in damask, and his noble demeanor was hard to hide. Look closely, there are a few guards around the guards look like arching around.
But this person did not let the guards separated from the crowd, was a bunch of people sweat and odor crowded, but also do not care, shouting in the call: “I want to listen to the three good Xue Sheng’s jianghu story, the white-haired witch or something good ah, the best combination of his early works, and the white-haired witch to have to tell the story is called beautiful! What’s the point of bluffing about gods and monsters, monkeys and monks?”
The old storyteller seems to be very used to this person gibberish, not angry, laughed: “At that time, the abbot of the real person said to Lieutenant Hong: Lieutenant do not know, this temple locks thirty-six members of the Big Dipper, seventy-two seats of the Earth’s Fury, a total of one hundred and one hundred and eight demon in the inside. On top of the stone monument, chiseled with the dragon seal phoenix seal heavenly symbol, the town in this. If we still let him out of the world, he will definitely annoy the living beings below and plague the world!”
The man froze for a moment and suddenly said, “One hundred and eight of them?”
“Exactly.”
“Demon Star Gathering? Scourge the world?”
“So it is in the book.”
The man stood up long and turned his head to ask his left and right, “Has Xue Mu arrived in the capital?”
“It is said to have arrived yesterday.”
“Go, this king wants to meet him. Grandma, what a Six Paths Alliance Leader, what a Demon Star Gathering!”
Xue Mu narrowed his eyes and asked Zhuo Qingqing, “Who is this?”
“The Ninth Prince, Tang King Ji Wu Xing.”
