Jia Wuqun, who was tending to the plants, sensed it and turned to look at Yuan Cong, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Yuan Cong said in a low voice, "Our address has not been leaked, no one will come looking for us." His eyes and ears were already looking in all directions, and he gestured to Wei Duo.
Wei Duo immediately flashed to the door and looked outside through the crack.
Knocking sounds could be heard. Wei Duo turned around and made a gesture, then shook his head, indicating that there were two people, but he didn't know them.
Yuan Cong slightly waved his hand, indicating to ignore them. He wanted to pretend that there was no one in the courtyard, hoping that the other party would leave on their own.
However, the knocking on the door did not stop. When the knocking stopped, the bolt on the door jumped open on its own. It was obvious that someone had cast a spell to open the door.
The door was also pushed open, and a person barged in. Wei Duo immediately moved to stop him and asked, "Who are you?"
Outside the door, a carriage was blocking the entrance. A person had entered, and there was another person sitting on the shaft, who seemed to be the coachman, coldly looking into the courtyard.
Wei Duo, who had just questioned him, seemed to have lost the courage to stop him. The intruder walked in step by step, while Wei Duo retreated step by step.
When he could see clearly, Yuan Cong realized that the intruder had a badge in his hand, a badge that represented the identity of a member of the Misty Pavilion.
The intruder was from the Misty Pavilion? Yuan Cong's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously looked around, worried that he might have exposed something, and that the intruder was coming for him.
Jia Wuqun clenched a blade of grass in his hand, his expression solemn.
He had a special impression of the Misty Pavilion, and it was a deep impression. When they didn't want to reason with them, they wouldn't listen to reason at all. His tongue was pulled out by the Misty Pavilion, and he still felt the pain and fear whenever he thought about it.
The intruder waved his hand, and the door closed automatically.
After forcing Wei Duo back, the intruder pulled his belt and opened his outer shirt, revealing the Misty Pavilion's uniform. He also showed the badge in his hand to Yuan Cong, and asked, "Jia Wuqun?"
Jia Wuqun loosened the weeds in his hand and nodded. He couldn't speak, so he could only cup his hands and salute.
Yuan Cong and Wei Duo also silently cupped their hands and bowed. They did not suspect the identity of the other party. In this world, no one would dare to pretend to be from the Misty Pavilion.
Of course, there had been some, but in the end, none of them had survived. The Misty Pavilion had tried to capture them at all costs, and most of them had died miserably.
The man put away the ID card and wrapped his clothes up again, covering the Misty Pavilion's clothes underneath. Then he said indifferently, "Please come with us."
Yuan Cong asked, "May I ask what business you have with me?"
The newcomer said, "When the time comes, you will naturally know." He walked straight towards Wei Duo and made his move. He poked a few times on Wei Duo's body and sealed Wei Duo's access to magic power. Wei Duo did not dare to resist at all.
The newcomer then walked towards Yuan Cong. Similarly, he quickly made his move and sealed Yuan Cong's magic power. Yuan Cong's eyes flashed, but he did not resist.
The newcomer put his hand on Jia Wuqun's shoulder and used his arts to check. After confirming that it was indeed not a cultivator, he let go.
Since the cultivator had been restrained, the other party seemed to be relieved. He tilted his head and gestured, "Let's go!"
He turned and left first, opening the door and waiting at the entrance.
Jia Wuqun looked at Yuan Cong. Yuan Cong nodded slightly and pushed his back lightly, indicating that he should listen to the other party.
The three of them walked out of the courtyard. The newcomer helped them into the carriage, and then got in himself.
The curtains of the carriage were opened, and the coachman shouted. He drove the carriage out of the alley and onto the street. All the way, they passed by the bustling capital city and went straight to the city gate.
It was wartime, and the checks were stricter. However, the coachman flashed a pass token that he had gotten from somewhere, and the people in charge immediately gave up and let them pass.
Once they were out of the city, the carriage moved faster and faster. The coachman cracked his whip repeatedly, and the wheels shook violently. The inside of the carriage also became more and more bumpy. Those who had their magic power restricted had to hold on tightly to sit still.
From time to time, Jia Wuqun would look at the expressions and reactions of the Misty Pavilion members in the carriage. He would frown, wondering what the Misty Pavilion members were up to.
Wei Duo was even more confused, and his heart was filled with fear.
Yuan Cong had a clear idea of what was going on. He suspected that they were here for him. If they were really here for him, it would be unreasonable for only two people to come. However, he did not know what the Misty Pavilion was planning, and they were in the capital city of the Kingdom of Qi. There were too many people, so he did not dare to act rashly.
After pondering for a while, Yuan Cong could not help but ask, "Honorable Envoy, why did you summon me?"
The accompanying Misty Pavilion member looked at him coldly, "Shut up, don't talk too much!"
Yuan Cong, Jia Wuqun, and Wei Duo looked at each other in silence. They were all trying to figure out what was going on, waiting for the final result.
The carriage ran for about an hour, and the people in the carriage suddenly felt the carriage slow down and change direction. Through the fluttering curtains, they could see that the carriage had actually left the main road, and was forcefully bumping into a rugged mountain.
They could not continue on the mountain road, and the carriage only turned into a col in the mountain, which blocked the view of the outside world, and then stopped.
The curtains were lifted, and the accompanying person jumped out, shouting, "Get off!"
The people in the carriage could see that the coachman had already gotten off, and was looking around vigilantly.
The three people in the carriage had no choice but to obey. One by one, they got off the carriage and looked around.
Who knew that before they could react, Yuan Cong's arm had already been grabbed by one of the people in the air, while the other person grabbed Jia Wuqun and Wei Duo and followed closely behind.
They flew all the way through the mountains, and before long, they had escaped deep into the mountains, and finally landed in a secluded valley. The three people who were caught were also released.
The three of them looked around the valley, and it was obviously a deserted place. There was no one else in sight, and they really did not know why they were brought here.
Groom stared at Jia Wuqun with his hands behind his back, "Jia Wuqun, the Misty Pavilion has something to ask you. Answer it, and do not hide anything."
Jia Wuqun cupped his hands and nodded, indicating that he would obey.
Groom asked, "Did you instigate the Seventh Princess to force Shao Pingbo to marry behind the scenes?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them were a little surprised. They were brought to this remote place just to ask this?
Yuan Cong's eyes flashed, and he was suspicious. Could it be that they were not here for him?
Jia Wuqun was stunned for a moment, and after a slight hesitation, he nodded.
Groom asked, "What's your purpose?"
Jia Wuqun pointed at his mouth, and then at Yuan Cong.
The groom obviously knew his situation and agreed with a "Hmm".
Yuan Cong walked in front of Jia Wuqun, and after feeling what he was pointing at, he said, "As far as I know, the Misty Pavilion does not interfere in worldly affairs."
Groom said calmly, "It's not interference, it's just the Misty Pavilion's custom. You only need to understand the situation, and don't think too much about it."
So that's how it is. Jia Wuqun nodded, and did not dare to hide anything. He also knew that he could not hide the fact that he was being watched by the Misty Pavilion, because the ultimate purpose of the matter was going to be revealed. If he lied at this time, not only would he not be able to escape, but the entire Prime Minister's Residence would also be implicated.
Pointing at Yuan Cong's back, he honestly told them his purpose.
After listening, Groom asked again, "If you can't force Shao Pingbo to marry, what do you plan to do next?"
Jia Wuqun honestly told them the next step of his plan.
After knowing this result, Groom and the other person looked at each other, and then asked again, "You have no enmity with Shao Pingbo, why do you want to harm him, and who instigated you?"
Jia Wuqun replied, "Shang Chaozong of Nanzhou!"
Wei Duo was secretly suspicious. Wasn't it Zhao Xiongge? Could it be that he was lying to the Misty Pavilion?
Groom was surprised, "How dare you speak nonsense, why would you work for Shang Chaozong?"
Jia Wuqun smiled bitterly, and then told them in detail how Shang Chaozong had tricked him.
Yuan Cong could not help but turn around to look at him a few more times. It was only now that he knew how Niu Youdao had created this person.
After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Groom stared at Yuan Cong, and asked, "Who are you?"
Yuan Cong was silent, who he was, he could not say!
Swoosh! The other person suddenly moved, and tore off the mask on Yuan Cong's face, revealing his true appearance. It was the Purple Golden Cave's Grand Elder, Zhong Guzi!
He did not look old and frail like before, and all aspects of his spirit, Qi, and spirit seemed much younger.
At this moment, Yuan Cong's eyes flashed with a fierce light. His eyes slightly narrowed, and after a cold glance, he quickly observed the surroundings.
Groom, who had torn off the mask, was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "I've seen Jian Shanyue, you're not Jian Shanyue, who are you?"
Not only him, but the other person was also very unfamiliar with Zhong Guzi. Neither of them had seen Zhong Guzi before.
It was normal that they had not seen him, Zhong Guzi was the Purple Golden Cave's Grand Elder, and usually did not show his face, not to mention that he had been hiding in Tortoise Sleeping Pavilion for a long time.
Not only them, but even Wei Duo and Jia Wuqun had never seen him before, nor did they know him.
Yuan Cong did not say a word, but instead took a deep breath, and his back gradually arched.
Groom was angry, "It seems that you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. I must teach you a lesson before you will confess!" Suddenly, he grabbed Yuan Cong's shoulder, wanting to punish him.
Then, Yuan Cong, who had his back slightly arched, suddenly puffed out his chest, and a frighteningly strong aura spread out.
Groom was shocked, and his five fingers that had grabbed at Yuan Cong's shoulder were suspended by an inch, unable to go any further.
Before he could react, Yuan Cong flipped his palm, and with lightning speed, he had already pressed it against Yuan Cong's chest.
Bang! Groom was sent flying, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. He hit the mountain wall and fell to the ground, vomiting blood, unable to move.
"You …" The other person from the Misty Pavilion was shocked. He had personally put a seal on Yuan Cong's body, what was going on?
He quickly realized that the opponent's strength was too strong, and his partner was unable to resist in front of him. How could he be a match for Yuan Cong? He quickly turned around and fled.
Yuan Cong's five fingers grabbed the air, and his own mask returned to his hand. His figure instantly flashed away, and instantly caught up with the fleeing person.
Before the man could get out of the valley, he let out a blood-curdling scream in midair. Yuan Cong easily broke his Protective Upstanding Qi with a single claw. Like an eagle catching a chick, Yuan Cong's five fingers pierced into his back and directly grabbed his spine along with his skin and flesh.
Without any delay, Yuan Cong's figure flashed in the air and fell to the ground, causing Wei Duo to gasp.
Crack! Yuan Cong crushed the spine in his hand, threw the fleeing person to the ground, and quickly glanced around with cold eyes.
Jia Wuqun was stunned.
