"Spring bamboo shoots and fish, West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp, West Lake water shield, Longshan rice wine, sir, your dishes are ready, please use them slowly!"
The waiter yelled, flicking the clean rag on his shoulder, then bowed slightly and carefully exited the box.
In the box, two figures were sitting opposite each other.
One was wearing a navy blue rippled silk robe, with a broad body and a smile on his face all the time. He was in his forties and looked like a middle-aged wealthy businessman.
One was wearing black tight-fitting clothes. He was about 27 or 28 years old. He was a man with a slender figure and a cold expression. He had a black-sheathed Tang sword on his side.
Not far from the two of them was an open window, from which they could clearly see the dock hundreds of meters away.
"My dear nephew, please!" The middle-aged wealthy businessman raised his glass first, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were always focused on what was going on outside.
The young man in black kept his left hand under the table, raised the wine glass with his right hand, and said solemnly: "Uncle, please!"
"Yeah!" The middle-aged wealthy businessman drank the rice wine in his glass in one gulp. Just as he put down his glass, there was a sound of neat footsteps outside the window.
The middle-aged wealthy businessman turned his head slightly and saw the Qianniu Guard riding on a tall horse, guarding the carriage in the center and driving slowly forward.
On the pier in the distance, Shi Huyu, the governor of Hangzhou, was sternly scolding Mr. Qi and others.
"How cautious!" The middle-aged wealthy businessman sighed softly and looked at the young man in black across from him: "My dear nephew, if you take action in this situation, you have a 10% chance of succeeding."
"Unless my uncle can mobilize more than six elite crossbowmen for me, my nephew won't be 100% sure." The young man in black glanced at the black-sheath Tang Dao that was within reach by the side, and then lowered his head. He said loudly: "The carriage is too big, there are too many places to hide, and there are Qianniu Guards all around. We must know more about the structure of the carriage, and the habits of the King of Nanchang and Qianniu Guards, otherwise there is no way. Take action."
"The King of Nanchang is such a tough opponent." The middle-aged wealthy businessman sighed and said, "Who would have thought that Elder An would be killed in the sand in Yangzhou. Counting the loss of Elder Bian Zhang in Luoyang, the sect has a short history. We have already lost two elders in a short period of time, and an uprising is imminent, but so many things happened, it is an ominous sign!"
Faced with the emotion of the middle-aged wealthy businessman, the young man in black just looked down at the wine glass in front of him and said nothing.
Boring, the middle-aged wealthy businessman secretly murmured, and then said: "My dear nephew, this time Empress Wu will hand over the task to Wusheng Dao. You must be careful. It is best to take action at once and completely deal with the King of Nanchang. In this way, the teachings will be in Wu The layout of the state will not be affected."
"My nephew should do his best." After the young man in black finished speaking, he stopped talking.
At this moment, the door was knocked rhythmically, "Bang, bang, bang... bang, bang... bang." The middle-aged wealthy businessman raised his eyebrows and said, "Here, nephew, my uncle will find a helper for you." Already."
With that said, the middle-aged wealthy businessman stood up, walked to the door of the box, and opened the door.
A tall, tall woman wearing a light blue plaid robe, dressed in men's attire, with side eyebrows and a beautiful face. Holding a Tang sword in her left hand, she stood at the door. She didn't speak when she saw the middle-aged wealthy businessman, but was serious. Bow.
The middle-aged wealthy businessman nodded solemnly, then gave way, and the woman walked in from his side. .z.br>
The middle-aged wealthy businessman glanced warily at both sides of the corridor. When he saw that no one was paying attention, he turned back to the room.
The young woman had sat down with her back to the window, and the middle-aged wealthy businessman had also returned to his seat. The strange thing was that none of the three people sat with their back to the door.
"Good nephew, my uncle is here to introduce you. This is Zong Ling, the daughter of the True Immortal Taoist Taoist priest. This is the nephew of the master, and this is Xin Jian, the master of Shannan Hall of Wu Sheng Tao. One of you came from Jiangyou, and the other rushed here from Shannan. , After all the hard work, my uncle replaced the leader and offered a toast to the two nephews." The middle-aged wealthy businessman raised his glass and looked at Zong Ling and Xin Jian.
"Thank you, uncle!" Zong Ling and Xin Jian raised their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp. Their faces did not change at all, and their throats did not even move.
The middle-aged wealthy businessman's mouth twitched slightly. Although everyone belonged to the Holy Religion, this situation
Underneath, not even covering up is a little too much.
However, the middle-aged wealthy businessman did not dwell on this and spoke directly: "In the Yangzhou Incident, most of the church's manpower in Yangzhou was lost. In order to avoid being wiped out, Mr. He rushed directly to Yangzhou to deal with the funeral affairs. The main strength of the Hangzhou branch is now We were all focused on the uprising and could not care about targeting the King of Nanchang for the moment, so I decided to hand over the task to my two nephews."
"Uncle Wang, please forgive me for offending this disciple." Zong Ling looked at Wang Chao, turned his head and looked seriously, and asked in confusion: "When did Wanxiang Pavilion join the Tianyin Sect? Does Uncle Qiu know about this?"
"Grandmaster's nephew, don't talk nonsense. Wanxiang Pavilion is Wanxiang Pavilion. How could you join Tianyin Sect? Although Empress Qi is the leader of Tianyin Sect, she is also the leader of Holy Sect. It is appropriate for everyone to work together." Wang Chao immediately waved his hand to deny.
If he really dares to recognize him, his senior brother Qiu Huan, the pavilion master who he doesn't recognize, will definitely kill him and sacrifice the flag after he returns.
"That's good." Zong Ling nodded, glanced at Xin Jian, who had remained silent the whole time, and then said: "Uncle Master, this disciple came to Hangzhou this time, and he didn't bring many people. If he wants to carry out the execution, It’s a difficult task, I’m afraid I can’t help you, I hope you can forgive me, uncle.”
"It doesn't matter." Wang Chao waved his hand and said, "Although the Holy Cult has been preparing for this uprising for many years, it happened suddenly and was a bit hasty after all. Therefore, it is even more necessary to prepare well in all aspects, especially Wuzhou.
Wang Fanglin, the governor of Wuzhou, had noticed the strange changes in Jiaozhong two months ago, so Jiaozhong took action before he took action.
It's a pity that he escaped, but although he didn't die, he was seriously injured after all.
This is the reason why Jiaozhong has been making frequent moves in Wuzhou for two months, but no one has noticed anything unusual. But now, the King of Nanchang is here. "
Zong Ling and Xin Jian sat on one side, saying nothing or asking any questions.
"When the King of Nanchang took the post of Wuzhou Biejia, he was equivalent to half the governor. What's more, he was also the grandson-in-law of Liu Rengui, the left prime minister. Du Yu, the captain of the Hangzhou Navy, was Liu Rengui's old subordinate when he was in Silla. The king of Nanchang wanted Du Yu. I will definitely agree. Once there is a change in Wuzhou, the two nephews also know what the consequences will be." At this point, Wang Chao paused.
Zong Ling and Xin Jian remained silent, but there was a hint of solemnity in their eyes.
At that time, the Tianyin Sect was blocked in Wuzhou and Shezhou, so it was held tightly in Muzhou. In the end, it failed and tens of thousands of followers were slaughtered. They naturally knew the importance of Wuzhou.
"The King of Nanchang is not an incompetent person." Wang Chao sighed softly and said, "According to the investigation in the pavilion, when the King of Nanchang was in Luoyang, he personally killed several elite assassins of Wusheng Dao, and even the Thousand-faced Buddha One of his substitutes also died in his hands.
In addition, he was also good at battle techniques. He led Qianniuwei and Baiqisi to completely defeat Yun Shao Yuan, and then overthrew the entire Cao Gang in Yangzhou. Even Elder An indirectly died in his hands. . "
"Has the cause of Elder An's death been found out?" Xin Jian suddenly spoke, staring at Wang Chao.
As the branch of the Holy Religion that is best at intelligence gathering, the Wanxiang Pavilion has always provided the most accurate information.
"Elder An probably died at the hands of Zhechong Duwei Shi Jin. The cause of death of Huaiyang Hall Master Wen is unknown. It is also said that he died at the hands of the King of Nanchang, but it is unlikely. After all, the King of Nanchang was just an innate genius. , how to kill Hall Master Wen in the Xuantai Realm, it is very likely that there are hidden masters around King Nanchang." Wang Chao cautiously told the information that his side had investigated.
It can be said that except that Wen Bingyan also died at the hands of Li Xuan, everything else is basically accurate.
After saying that, Wang Chao turned to look at Zong Ling and asked in a low voice: "Master's nephew, the True Immortal Way is on the right side of the river. You must have had some dealings with King Hongzhou Nanchang. What do you know about him?"
"Not much!" Zong Ling also became serious at this time, and said in a deep voice: "There was only one real interaction between Zhenxian Dao and the Nanchang Prince's Palace, and that was two months ago, when the Nanchang Prince returned from Longhu Mountain after receiving the imperial order. When he entered Nanchang City, a senior fellow in the Dao had taken action against him, but unfortunately, he seemed to be accompanied by a master who was proficient in the Five Thunder Palm Technique, and that senior fellow accidentally died in Nanchang City."
Wang Chaoyi
There was silence for a while. At this time, Xin Jian suddenly spoke: "Hasn't Zhenxian Dao had any special understanding of King Nanchang over the years?"
"Yes." Zong Ling nodded, and Xin Jian and Wang Chao immediately became serious: "The King of Nanchang spends half a year every year in Pengzhou, Sichuan, and half a year in Nanchang County, Hongzhou. When he is in Nanchang, he rarely sees outsiders and usually lives in the palace or fiefdom. Other courtyard.
He built a large number of bridges and waterwheels in the fiefdom, which can be described as excellent civil craftsmanship.
When he was in Nanchang, his level of cultivation was not high and he was not innate, but he was very proficient in foot combat.
I haven't heard much about his talent, but it seems like he is hiding his talents and biding his time. "
"Hide your capabilities and bide your time!" A sneer appeared on Wang Chao's face, and then he said: "In that case, then find someone to give it a good thumbs up. In Hangzhou here, 90% of the art of foot combat can be easily eliminated. Then find a way to adjust it." Open the masters who protect him... As for how to kill people on the ship, my two nephews, I don’t need to teach you."
Zong Lingxin shook his head at the same time. Wang Chao smiled coldly and said, "In this case, let the King of Nanchang stay in the gentle water town of Hangzhou forever."
"Follow the order!"
