Baifu, Futonghai Pavilion.
It was extremely lively today, and many heroes headed by Xiao Wang happened to gather here.
Most of the people here have the same thoughts, but there are a small number of people who still have their own little calculations in their hearts.
This group of people was almost all headed by King Xiao, or were helpers invited by King Xiao, with the exception of Temple Sheng Zhiqiang.
Because of Sheng Zhiqiang's presence, King Xiao was not able to explain many things clearly, so King Xiao could only summon his confidants to his room to discuss it after dinner.
Wu Buxiao, Cheng Shiyou and Bai Zhonghuan were the people that King Xiao trusted the most, so if anything happened to him, they would be the first people he thought of. Although the fifth line is more capable of doing things and more reliable, in King Xiao's view, he is still a man in the world after all, and there are many things that are inconvenient for him to participate in.
"Mr. Wu, in your opinion, what should we do next?" King Xiao said quickly.
"Since the prince summoned the three of us so late, he must have an idea." Wu Buxiao guessed.
"Mr. Wu is right, but I still want to hear your opinions." Prince Xiao said.
"The prince's top priority right now is to return to the capital as soon as possible and stabilize Sheng Ling's people first." Wu Buxiao replied.
"Yes, I think so too, but there is one thing that makes me more difficult. I wonder if Mr. Wu can guess it?" Prince Xiao asked with a smile.
"Although Sheng Lingren of the Temple is not in Sichuan, his eldest son Sheng Zhiqiang must have told his father everything about this place. In other words, Sheng Lingren actually knows everything, and most likely he also knows that the prince has already Focusing on him. The reason why he didn't dare to act rashly is probably because the eldest son is in our hands. From what I can see, this is probably the prince's first move, right?" Wu Buxiao speculated.
"Indeed. Therefore, Brother Cheng and Brother Bai, you must strictly guard Sheng Zhiqiang and not let him escape before I return to the capital." King Xiao replied.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. With us two brothers here, even if Sheng Zhiqiang spreads his wings, he can't escape from His Majesty's hand." Cheng Shiyou replied.
"Although Sheng Zhiqiang is indeed good at martial arts, it's not that easy for him to escape in front of Brother Cheng and me." Bai Zhonghuan was also confident.
"In my opinion, Sheng Zhiqiang would not be so unreasonable. If he escaped secretly, it would be a guilty conscience, leaving the prince with a clue to arrest his father and son. Therefore, not only would he not escape, but he would also be extremely honest. But according to the princess According to the information obtained by the fifth line, there is a mysterious swordsman and skeleton sword Qin Gang behind Sheng Zhiqiang. Is the prince worried that this Qin Gang may be up to something secretly?" Wu Buxiao continued.
"Qin Gang is in the dark, we are in the open, and this person's martial arts is extremely high. It is indeed not easy to prevent him from causing trouble. But this is only secondary. What I am most worried about right now is another more important thing. Something." Prince Xiao said worriedly.
"Is there another more important thing? I'm so stupid, but I can't guess this?" Wu Buxiao said very respectfully.
"Haha! Mr. Wu, don't pretend to be pretentious in front of me. Brother Cheng and Brother Bai are not outsiders. It doesn't matter if you say it. If you say something wrong, I will forgive you." Prince Xiao said with a smile.
Wu Buxiao can be called a master of martial arts, and he knows almost everything about the martial arts. Although his martial arts is not as strong as Ren Xiaoyao, his knowledge and experience far exceed that of Ren Xiaoyao. Wu Buxiao is a smart man, but he understands better that smart people usually don't live long, and the more things they know, the more dangerous they are. Even if you know some things, you have to pretend not to know, because as long as you know the truth of the matter, there may be a bloody disaster.
A gentleman is one who pursues good fortune and avoids misfortune.
Although Wu Buxiao has been following Prince Xiao for a short period of time, he knows very well the principle of "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger". It is best for ordinary people not to get involved in matters involving temples and courts. Unpredictability is not a kind of ignorance, but a kind of wisdom.
Wu Buxiao actually guessed King Xiao's thoughts from the beginning, but he kept avoiding it. This was actually just a kind of self-protection.
"Since the prince said so, I have the guts to speak out. Are the princes worried about... the safety of His Majesty?" Although Wu Buxiao said it, he said it very carefully.
"Haha! Exactly. As Mr. Sheng said, Sheng Ling must know my king's whereabouts very well. Even if I return to the capital, I can only temporarily suppress him, but I can't tame this wild horse at all. His martial arts is extremely high. There is simply no one in the palace who can defeat him. What's more, the number one master in the palace, Commander Jin Yiwei, has to go to Kunlun Mountain to capture Xue Qianhe, so there is an even shortage of masters in the palace." King Xiao replied.
"Is the prince afraid that Sheng Lingren will 'hijack the emperor to order the princes'?" Wu Buxiao still asked cautiously.
"Since Mr. Wu guessed correctly, he must also know why this king is looking for you?" Prince Xiao asked.
"Your Majesty wants me to find someone to protect the safety of His Majesty?" Wu Buxiao answered with a question.
"Sheng Lingren's martial arts skills are extremely high. There is no opponent for him in the capital or in the palace. Once I and Sheng Lingren clash head-on, I must first ensure the safety of the emperor. Does Mr. Wu know who else can Are you capable of fighting against Sheng Lingren?" Prince Xiao did not deny Wu Buxiao's speculation and asked him directly for advice.
"There are two such masters in the Bai Mansion right now. Why doesn't the prince invite them?" Cheng Shiyou asked.
"Ren Xiaoyao is old and may not be Sheng Lingren's opponent now. But Kuangxiao Yuege was in the woods, and even though he was still injured, he still defeated Kidaozi with one move. From what I can see, his martial arts , must be above Sheng Lingren. If the prince wants to invite one of them, it would be best to invite Kuangxiao Yuege." Bai Zhonghuan suggested.
"No, they both have other matters. Moreover, if they enter the palace rashly, they will definitely attract Sheng Lingren's attention, and Eunuch Shi of Dongchang will also become suspicious. This will be self-defeating." Prince Xiao immediately denied the two of them. suggestions.
"Haha! I guessed wrong again." Fail Zhong said with a smile.
"You never guess right." Cheng Shiyou teased.
"The prince wants to find someone whose martial arts skills are not inferior to these two, and who is not famous, to secretly enter the palace to protect the emperor." Wu Buxiao expressed what Prince Xiao was thinking.
"The one who knows me is sir!" Prince Xiao said happily.
"These two are both top masters in the martial arts world. If your kung fu is not inferior to these two, then you still have no reputation? How can there be such a person?" Cheng Shiyou didn't believe that such a person existed at all.
"Yes! How could there be such a person?" Bai Zhonghuan didn't believe it at all.
"I don't believe that such a person exists, so I feel worried about it." Prince Xiao obviously didn't believe that such a person existed either.
"Actually, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Although such people are rare, they may not exist?" Wu Buxiao seemed to be comforting Prince Xiao.
"Sir, is there really such a master?" Prince Xiao asked in surprise.
"Yes, yes, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the prince to invite him." Wu Buxiao replied.
"Sure enough, this is this person? Who is he?" Cheng Shiyou also asked.
Bai Zhonghuan thought about it for a while, but still couldn't guess it.
"Have you ever heard of the rain god Zhang Yu?" Wu Buxiao asked.
"I've heard of it! It's Zhang Yu who retired from the world after his final defeat against Ren Xiaoyao? This man has been retired from the world for decades. Does Mr. Wu know where he is?" Prince Xiao asked.
"Although I don't know where he is, I do know who knows his whereabouts." Wu Buxiao replied.
"who?"
"The fifth line of Sword Shadow?"
"Impossible. When the rain god Zhang Yu withdrew from the world, the fifth line was probably not born yet! How could he know Zhang Yu's whereabouts?" Prince Xiao didn't believe it at all.
"Because he is Zhang Yu's disciple."
