When they heard this, the four of them thought it was the evil messenger Wu Yongzhen who hired Shen Wenzheng. Regardless of what and how they thought at that moment, they all broke into a cold sweat. But Mrs. Shen quickly explained this.
The Wuyong family is a family with a large system, and its business is involved in many corners. But if you want to compare it with the Ye family, there really isn't much comparison. It’s not that the gap between the two is too big, but the scope of coverage is different. Although they naturally overlap in terms of business types, their cooperation and customer groups are quite different. The Ye family is a big family on the surface. Although its status in the world is not as high as it was in its heyday, several rounds of dynasty changes have dampened its vitality to some extent. Because people from the Ye family always cooperate with the court, the business is usually large and stable. The most difficult part is only the period of inheriting the past and linking up with the future.
Wu Yongshi is quite different. Although they are also related to the imperial court, their connections are shady. Other times, he was doing business with the underworld. And their business is rarely real, serious, legal goods, most of them are tools related to onmyoji, or simply manpower and technology. Those businesses that don't seem to be very competitive with the Ye family are just a cover for something darker. Although in these aspects, the imperial court would secretly turn a blind eye and even provide some protection when necessary, but when it had to, it would decisively abandon them.
This is Wuwulan - now it should be said that it is something that "Jie" will never allow. Cooperation is possible, but putting the entire family's lifeline in the hands of the court is never a wise move. Although Wuyong's business started very late, it has never experienced the bloody changes of dynasties. But doesn't that mean... if we really encounter it, it won't be a chokehold. No matter how much he has no family sentiments, as a useful tool, he will not let the family fall to that end. Even with the current world situation... Although there are constant ailments, in the eyes of most people, the country is still peaceful and the people are safe.
And he believes in being prepared.
The elderly leaders in the family are naturally very conservative. But there are naturally people in the entire family who agree with Zhen's ideas, so he has many supporters. He is a calm and quiet person, but his methods are radical and crazy. Many people oppose him, and many people follow him. In this way, the forces within the Wuyong clan are checking and balancing each other.
The person who found Shen Wenzheng was actually a conservative within the family.
"If you think about it carefully, if a family like theirs is really controlled by him... then what's the point?"
"I'm afraid this world will be ruined much more easily than it is now."
"Listen to what those words are, but it's a shame he can speak them out loud." Han Chang sneered, "I still remember all those nonsense in the underground palace."
"That's right. He was really ruthless!" Wenying still remembers the slap she received. Then, she shook her head and said to Xie Zhe: "But you should be careful, because what he says to you is not polite."
Xie Zhe sighed: "More than being rude... I'm still worried whether he will send someone to follow us. At present, it seems that nothing that requires attention has happened, but we must not let down our vigilance."
Wenying carefully glanced at the closed door of the guest room and asked in a low voice: "Well, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I'm a little worried - although that little girl is very cute, is Mrs. Shen really trustworthy? I I’m not familiar with her, so I heard that you met her last year, so..."
Ling Huan frowned slightly. She did not want to doubt Mrs. Shen, and she believed that she had sufficient reasons: "I think she should not be a bad person. What we have experienced with her is enough to prove her character. If she wants to attack us, she has many opportunities That's right. Besides, she values her daughter so much that she would never involve herself in anything dangerous."
"What Ling Huan said is true." Xie Zhe agreed, "However, Wen Ying's worry is not unreasonable. It is a good thing to stay alert. Sometimes, we are often easily confused by appearances, especially in front of women and children—— But since she was introduced by Mutsuki-kun and our previous interactions with her, I don’t think she is untrustworthy.”
"Don't tell me, I think the job she took is dangerous enough." Han Chang sighed, "Although it has nothing to do with Wu Yongzhen himself, it will never be easy if it involves his family. She said her It’s not convenient to explain the mission to us clearly, but it also involves the investigation of relevant information... Ling Huan was really well interrogated. Judging from Madam’s eager look, this mission must be very important."
"It's really...nothing is too detailed." Ling Huan squeezed his right hand with "still fear". She still remembered that when Mrs. Shen subconsciously pulled her hand, the speed and force were quite scary. "When I was kidnapped... To be honest, looking back now, I still feel scared. I can see that she wanted to know a lot of things, but she didn't dare to ask in detail. It was only when I comforted her that she felt relieved Ask further."
"Tell me, could it be that...her daughter's personal safety was threatened, so she took on this task?"
The three people turned their heads silently and looked at Wenying without saying a word. Wenying pondered for a while and said awkwardly:
"Uh, it seems impossible..."
"Mrs. Shen is indeed a chivalrous person. It is not unusual to do something spontaneously for the people of the world. If she was really threatened by someone, she would have no chance to come into contact with Mutsuki-kun. Otherwise, she would definitely try to inform him of the situation. "
"makes sense."
It was late at night. They had walked all day and were very tired. But talking to Shen Wenzheng until late at night actually cheered them up. The candles on the table burned quietly, casting the shadows of the four silent figures on the walls. The room became quiet again, and it seemed like it had never been as lively as before. This guest room is quite simple. Although it does not appear to be large, it is much more spacious than an average hotel. What's more, there are two beds placed on the left and right sides of the room against the wall, and a stove is burning to keep warm.
There are black lines on the ground, which seem to be drawn with charcoal. The crooked look is clearly the work of a child. It must be Shen Yiyi's "masterpiece".
No one went to wash and rest. Although they no longer spoke, they still gathered together in silence. Because in addition to that information, Shen Wenzheng also told them an amazing thing related to Wu Yongzhen.
He deciphered the magic circle of the underground palace to a great extent. Moreover, he also improved a terrible formation and etched it into the resentment. The knife given to the evil mouth stabbed Uoyuki-kun, and the formation was engraved in her body. This is just a sub-formation, but the mother formation is on a corpse. That corpse was none other than his brother who had been following Tao Zhu, the evil messenger of adultery. And that night, Yin Guihong, the evil envoy of anger, was also present.
"She said that Long Miao said that this formation should have been engraved on her body..." Finally, Han Chang broke the silence first.
"This is a debugging. They have been working together and plotting this plan for a long time." Xie Zhe shook his head.
"Why did they get together? Three evil angels..." Wenying also muttered.
Ling Huan lay on the table, looking at the flame of the candle, his face resting on the back of his hands. She didn't look sleepy, but she must have been tired. Even so, her head was still spinning rapidly, thinking about these messy clues.
"It's not difficult to guess." Xie Zhe sorted it out, "Well... Tao Zhu wanted her brother to become a human, so Wuyongzhen realized her wish - using this special formation to draw from the six paths of impermanence. Power. For Wu Yongzhen, these are also the two most suitable experimental subjects. But why did Yin Guihong also appear at the scene? It sounds like he is temporarily under the command of Liehua, but why? What benefits can he get? "
"And he doesn't seem like someone who would be willing to do things for others..." Han Chang was also thinking.
Ling Huan suddenly sat up straight and said: "So, he will definitely get benefits. What is his most desired wish? Of course, it is to destroy Kannau-kun and avenge his family. That's what you said, right? But One thing must be known to everyone - that is, the six paths of impermanence cannot be killed. So..."
"So this formation is designed to avoid impermanence?!"
The moment Wenying blurted out, the flames on the table seemed to tremble.
Ling Huan was not present at that time. Instead, she was a bystander and her thoughts were clearest. When the potential truth was told, even if they were mentally prepared, they still felt a palpitation in their hearts. This is really an unprecedented event: there are actually people who are really fighting against the impermanence of the Six Paths, with the premise of destroying them. No, it's not exactly annihilation, but it's more vicious than annihilation. Think about it, they have been supplying spiritual power to dead creatures to drive them to simulate being alive - that's probably the case, they don't know the more specific principle yet - then what will happen to the person who provides the spiritual power? It will definitely dry up. For the Six Paths of Impermanence, this is definitely a kind of dark torture that will never end.
Thinking about what Yin Guihong said and his decisive attitude, it seemed that he must have some means to win. It seems that he does. His revenge does not necessarily mean killing someone completely. To him, this seems to save the life of the "murderer" and cannot offset the "crime" of annihilating the family at all. Therefore, if the sub-formation is imprinted on Kanna-kun...
"We have to find a way to tell Mr. Kanna." This was Han Chang's first reaction.
"I'm afraid, Maoyue-kun's situation is worse than we thought. Things will definitely get worse, otherwise Mrs. Shen would not tell us where Maoyue-kun is now... It is very risky to expose his fixed and unpredictable whereabouts. Now I think back to her tone and demeanor when she spoke - we noticed it too late. She didn't point it out because she was afraid that we would worry."
Wenying slapped the table, and the muffled sound was particularly loud in the silent night.
"What a bastard! No, what a bunch of bastards!"
And Ling Huan's voice began to tremble: "I always have a feeling. It's as if things are far more than that simple..."
"...We should stop speculating." Xie Zhe couldn't help but swallow, and then slowly said, "In short - we must find Lord Mao Yue as soon as possible without any further delay. This is also Shen Madam told us what Mutsuki-kun meant. He must have had some considerations before not telling the whole story. After all, so many days have passed..."
"What the hell is this?" Han Chang also rarely said dirty words.
The four fell into silence again. In the face of the inferred truth that has not yet been confirmed, all speculations seem powerless - but all speculations will only make the situation more foggy.
