? ? ?
Ning Yongnian?
If Pei Dajun hadn't clearly pointed out the owner of this name in the last sentence, Wei Changtian would have even suspected that he had encountered someone with the same name.
As the second-in-command of the watchman, it is not unusual for Pei Dajun to recognize the emperor of the enemy country.
Therefore, if he had not deliberately conveyed false information to himself, then the current situation would be obvious.
Before Pei Dajun was controlled by Yama, he saw Bai Youheng and Ning Yongnian at the same time.
Damn it!
But why did Bai Youheng and Ning Yongnian get together? ? ?
Although they are both sons of Heaven, one of them is in Dafeng and the other is in Daning, so there should be no connection between them!
Could it be said that these two people have formed an alliance?
So what are they plotting? What are you going to do?
Wei Changtian frowned and thought for a long time but still had no clue.
After all, he didn't even know when and where Ning Yongnian and Bai Youheng met. He could only speculate that all of this happened before he arrived in Fengyuan.
But now the only "eyewitness" Pei Dajun has died, and everything can no longer be verified.
Unless you can directly face Bai Youheng or Ning Yongnian...
After taking a few deep breaths, Wei Changtian decided not to think about the matter for the time being, and to kill Yama according to the original plan first.
Patting his sleeves, he stood up and slowly opened the door.
"Mr. Wei..." Several eyes immediately focused on him outside the house.
"Master Pei is dead, please collect his body."
First, he explained to several imperial doctors, and then looked at Li Wutong.
Wei Changtian paused for a moment and said in advance before she could ask: "Princess, I didn't ask anything."
"Is it?"
Li Wutong obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just hesitated for a moment and then reminded him seriously: "Mr. Wei, the fact that Pei Dajun is the master of Yama is related to the reputation of the watchman. I hope you won't make it public."
"We will carefully investigate whether there are any other suspicious persons among the watchers."
"Oh, got it."
Wei Changtian nodded and agreed casually, not bothering to care about what Li Wutong was planning to do, let alone how he would "self-examine and correct himself" after such a big incident.
Anyway, he no longer expects the watchman to be of any help to him in the matter of Yama.
It would even be nice as long as it doesn't do any harm.
"Princess, you have nothing to do here now. I will take care of it when Chu Xianping comes back..."
Yawning, Wei Changtian was about to send Li Wutong back.
But at this moment, Chu Xianping appeared in the field of vision of the two of them.
Um?
Are you back?
Why does your face look so ugly? Could it be that......
"Brother Chu!"
Wei Changtian immediately stepped forward to greet them, frowned and asked, "How is it? Do you know where Lao Zhangtou and the others are now?"
"..."
Chu Xianping did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Li Wutong out of the corner of his eye. When Wei Changtian nodded slightly, he said in a deep voice:
"Sir, Senior Zhang was ambushed in the Gobi Desert in the Western Desert just a few hours ago. Fortunately, he used his magical power in time to escape, but his current whereabouts are unknown."
"Miss Agou was taken away by Senior Zhang, and most of the escorts from the Shimen Escort Agency were also safe."
"only......"
"Just what?"
Wei Changtian asked casually, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Lao Zhangtou is quite capable, and he actually has a magical power that can be used to escape.
Although it is unknown where they escaped, since those assassins did not succeed in the assassination this time, they will never have another chance in the future.
Determined not to let anything happen to Lao Zhangtou again, Wei Changtian considered whether to ask Qin Zhengqiu to make a trip to bring Lao Zhangtou and Agou back.
But at this moment, Chu Xianping's answer made his expression suddenly freeze.
"Sir, the head guard Wang is dead."
"..."
...
Western Desert Gobi.
In the night, the dark brown desert was rough and unprotected. Not to mention the traces of human beings, not even a single bird could be seen. As far as the eye could see, there was only darkness and desolation.
The strong wind roared past, carrying the yellow sand and hitting the dunes, making a "sand, sand," sound of sand grains rubbing against each other.
At this time, on the back of a small sand dune, two figures, one old and one young, were staring at each other, not knowing which way they should go next.
"Grandpa, which way should we go?"
Agou had sobered up and was holding the sword in his arms, blinking and asking: "I remember we were walking towards the moon just now, so are we walking towards the moon now?"
"I'm not leaving tonight."
Lao Zhangtou was well aware of the risk of getting lost in the desert, and the group of assassins must be searching for traces of him, so he looked around and decided to wait until daylight tomorrow to make plans.
Agou didn't have any objections to this. After hearing this, he lay down on the leeward slope of the dune and stared at the night sky in a daze.
"grandfather."
I don’t know how long it took, but she suddenly asked: "Is Uncle Wang dead?"
"Um."
Lao Zhangtou didn't say any white lies, he just nodded calmly: "She should be dead."
Agou asked again: "Did he die to protect us?"
"yes."
Lao Zhangtou slowly sat down next to Agou: "He promised your senior brother to protect us."
"Okay, I get it now."
Agou responded in a low voice with a gloomy expression.
They had only been together for two or three days in total, so it was impossible to say how deep the relationship between her and Wang Qian was.
But the little girl felt a little sad.
"Grandpa, when I grow up, I will protect you too!"
Suddenly, Agou made such a promise out of nowhere.
"Haha, you are just a girl..."
Lao Zhangtou laughed disdainfully and did not take these words to heart.
But when he suddenly remembered the scene where Agou rushed towards the assassins with his sword, a hint of imperceptible relief suddenly appeared on his face.
"Wait until you grow up to say this kind of thing."
"Um."
Agou couldn't feel the change in Lao Zhangtou's mood. He just nodded and yawned lightly: "Grandpa, I'm sleepy."
"If you feel sleepy, take a nap."
Lao Zhangtou patted Agou on the head, and after the latter fell asleep, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance where there was no sign of people and only the twinkling stars.
As he watched, the kind expression gradually faded away, replaced by a face full of dissatisfaction.
snort! The villain must soon know the news of his assassination.
He knew clearly that he was going to Fengyuan, but he didn't come to pick him up in person. Instead, he just found a few escorts to make things happen. It was clear that he didn't have a master in his eyes!
That is to say, you should keep some skills to look after your family's financial situation, otherwise you will probably end up here today!
Thinking about it this way, it seems that I am a bit of a failure as a master...
You evil disciple, wait for me!
