"Ding ding ding … ding ding ding …"
On the street, Guo Man walked quickly, shaking a bell in her hand. The sound the bell made was a bit strange. Before the first ringing sound disappeared, the second ringing sound was a hoarse "ding" sound.
This was what Wu Xin had told her. If he encountered trouble, she was to take down the bell under the eaves. If possible, she was to ring the bell on this street.
She didn't think she would be able to leave so smoothly. At first, she just wanted to hide the bracelet.
In the end, she found that the people of Waning Moon Pavilion didn't take her seriously, so she took down the bell and left.
As for the bracelet, as soon as she came out, she passed by a peddler. The peddler would naturally deliver the bracelet to the place it was supposed to go.
The shopkeeper of a medicine shop on the street suddenly turned around and walked quickly to the door, watching Guo Man ringing the bell.
After watching her for a while, the shopkeeper quickly turned around and called a shop assistant over. He whispered in his ear for a while.
The shop assistant nodded and quickly left.
The shopkeeper then called the other shop assistants to look after the shop, and he also left.
This medicine shop wasn't old, nor was it new. It was opened not long after Wu Xin settled in Qi Capital …
Guo Man walked quickly while ringing the bell. She didn't know what ringing the bell could do, but she knew it must have something to do with Wu Xin and the Ghost Doctor's contact information.
The higher-ups had always wanted to know the Ghost Doctor's whereabouts, but she had never had the chance. Now that she encountered this situation, she saw it as an opportunity and used the bell without knowing what was going to happen.
To be sent here as a spy, they naturally took a liking to her quick-wittedness. They wouldn't let a stupid person take on this task.
When she reached the end of the street, just as she was about to turn around again, several figures descended from the sky and surrounded her. It was the people of Waning Moon Pavilion.
The surrounding commoners saw these people descending from the sky and were slightly frightened, so they quickly retreated.
Guo Man, who was holding the bell in her hand, was a bit nervous. She knew she wasn't a match for these people, so she said uneasily, "What do you want?"
"You better behave yourself. Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!" The leader waved his hand and several people swarmed over.
Guo Man didn't resist. She knew she would be even more unlucky if she resisted, so she surrendered.
The bell in her hand was also snatched away by him. He shook it and waved his hand, saying, "Take it away!"
There were already people from the three major sects who noticed the abnormality and flew over. Seeing the people being arrested on the street, they felt that the people of the Waning Moon Pavilion were being too presumptuous. They wanted to intervene and find out what was going on.
Unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared and raised his hand to stop them. He waved his hand, indicating that they should not interfere.
The shopkeeper, who had retreated to the side of the street, watched as Guo Man was taken away. After seeing her off into the distance, a grim look appeared on his face, and he quickly left.
…
Outside the Imperial Study, Bu Xun chatted with his subordinates for a while before quickly returning inside to report the information he had gathered from the Administration Desk.
Inside the hall, Vast Cloud Diagram and the heads of the three major sects were all waiting for news. They were waiting for Yu Cang to personally meet the Ghost Doctor's disciple.
"Xuanwei is dead?" Yu Wenyan was stunned.
Vast Cloud Tu frowned and did not say anything. Within a day, his son died, and his daughter-in-law also died. It would be strange if he was in a good mood.
Bu Xun said respectfully, "Yes, her body has been brought back to Fufang Garden. As for how she died, it is still unclear."
The few of them looked at each other in surprise. They all felt that Yu Cang should not be in a hurry to kill Xuanwei unless he had already obtained something. But if he had obtained something, it was unlikely that he would let Ximen Qingkong live. Was he going to wait for Ximen Qingkong to come and take revenge? Yu Cang would definitely not be lenient. If it was anyone else here, they would have killed Ximen Qingkong.
Also, capturing the Ghost Doctor's disciple made this matter a bit strange.
Yu Wenyan said, "It seems that Yu Cang has not gotten what he wants. I'm afraid there is another reason for Xuanwei's death."
Bei Xuan stroked his beard and said, "In the past, I saw Yu Cang's demeanor as a teacher, but I didn't expect his temper to be so bad. He even captured the Ghost Doctor's disciple. He is directly opposing the Ghost Doctor."
Three Thousand Miles said, "Waning Moon Pavilion has been hiding in the dark. Now that they have jumped out, they have been in the limelight enough, and Yu Cang is probably in a terrible state of trouble. In the current situation, it seems that he is indeed a bit impatient and wants to seize everything. Who knows if capturing the Ghost Doctor's disciple can lure the Ghost Doctor out. "
Yu Wenyan said, "The Ghost Doctor has a strange personality. I heard that she is a vengeful person. If the rumors are true, with Yu Cang doing this, I'm afraid we will have a chance to meet him."
The few of them looked at each other and smiled. They did not care about the death of a person at all. Clearly, they were waiting to watch the show.
Vast Cloud Tu was expressionless, but he could not smile.
…
Under the twilight, King Ying Haozhen returned to the residence. Shao Liuer was waiting at the door to welcome him. When she accompanied him in, she asked tentatively, "Prince, I heard that Seventeenth Prince is dead, Xuanwei is also dead, and Mr. Wuxin was also captured by Waning Moon Pavilion?"
Haozhen nodded slightly as he walked. "The news travels quite fast. Yes."
After confirming it, Shao Liuer felt a little anxious. She was anxious not only because of the past between her and Wuxin, but also because she did not want Wuxin to suffer. Otherwise, she would not be able to rest easy. Secondly, she was afraid that Wuxin would reveal the past between them when he was in trouble.
After all, she had her own family, and Haozhen treated her well. She did not want her good days to suddenly turn upside down.
"Prince, Mr. Wuxin saved your life after all," Shao Liuer could not help but remind him.
Haozhen stopped in his tracks and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
Shao Liuer said tentatively, "Logically speaking, we can't just watch him die!"
Haozhen sighed and said, "Liuer, how can I not understand your logic? As soon as I heard the news, I submitted a memorial in hopes that Imperial Father would intervene in this matter. I believe that the other members of the royal family would do the same. First, it is to return the favor. Second, it is because they do not want to leave behind an ungrateful impression in Imperial Father's eyes. "
"But everyone knows in their hearts that this is just a superficial act. This kind of matter is not something that can be solved just by our pleading. Actually, everyone knows in their hearts what might have happened between Xuanwei and Seventeenth Prince. Before the matter is made public, no one dares to mention it. Otherwise, it would be a taboo. The Waning Moon Pavilion dared to make a move in the Capital of Qi, and there is no movement in the city. Is it possible that the palace did not allow it? Who would dare to expose this fig leaf? "
"Why would the palace allow it? You know the current situation. It is time to work together with the Qin army. The bigger picture is the most important. It is not something that can be influenced by personal feelings. "
"Liuer, I can understand how you feel, but things may not be as bad as you think. After all, Mr. Wuxin is the Ghost Doctor's disciple. Logically, the Ghost Doctor would not sit by and do nothing. Also, the war is not going well. If the country cannot be protected, how can he protect the people? These are troubled times. Don't act recklessly. Keep quiet! "
After saying this, he continued walking.
Shao Liuer's expression was gloomy and powerless.
…
"Xuanwei is dead?"
Shao Pingbo, who walked out from a group of craftsmen at the Imperial College's reconstruction site, was astonished when he heard the news. "That's fast … They didn't kill Ximen Qingkong, but Xuanwei is dead. Logically, the Waning Moon Pavilion would not do this!"
Shao Sansheng said, "I don't know the specifics. This is all we know for now."
Shao Pingbo sighed and shook his head. "Xuanwei is an expert in internal affairs. I'm afraid many men will be ashamed of her. But that is all. Therefore, this calamity is not unexpected. This might have something to do with the rich environment of the Wei Country where she grew up. "
This was also one of the reasons why he did not join the Wei Country.
"No matter what, the Wei Country has been able to maintain its prosperity all these years because of her contributions. She can be considered an outstanding woman. The people of the Wei Country should be grateful to her. But now that the Wei Country has been plunged into the flames of war, the people are busy with their own lives … The people are forgetful. Living in peace is more important than anything else. How many people will remember Xuanwei's kindness? Actually, she doesn't have any ambition. She was just forced to that position. She should have let go a long time ago. She has been helping her younger brother all this time. "
"Let the future generations talk about her merits and demerits. The outstanding woman of a generation has passed!"
Shao Sansheng could see that Jiang Yi was also feeling emotional when he saw Jiang Yi's hands behind his back. He tried to remind him, "Ximen Qingkong is still alive. She is the number one expert on the Pill Ranking! Eldest Young Master has always been lacking a capable bodyguard. He is in danger now. If anyone can save him … "
Shao Pingbo knew what Jiang Yi wanted to say. He shook his head and interrupted, "The destruction of the Wei Country is related to me. It's already good that he doesn't bear a grudge against me. Don't expect him to thank me. With this kind of character, he shouldn't be involved in such a storm. What's the use of having a high cultivation? He is already crippled. He is destined to walk on the road to death. No one will save him if he is courting death! "
"I am worried about Liu 'er now. I hope that Wu Xin won't talk nonsense. I hope that the Ghost Doctor can come forward and solve this matter!"
…
"Mister, please save him!"
In the small courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Song Kingdom, Wei Duo knelt in front of Jia Wuqun. His eyes were red.
He had just learned about what had happened in Qi Capital. He learned that Xuan Wei was dead and Ximen Qingkong was in danger. Jia Wuqun had written the words "must die" and pointed it at Ximen Qingkong. Instantly, Wei Duo had come to beg for help.
He could only beg this person for help because this person could use the power of the Song Kingdom. The strength of the Shanghai Sect was not enough to save him from the hands of the Waning Moon Pavilion.
The reason why he begged was also explained. He and Ximen Qingkong had lived together in the Secret Land of Heaven Capital for a period of time. Ximen Qingkong had taken care of him. Ximen Qingkong had been really good to him. She had even corrected his stuttering. After leaving the Secret Land of Heaven Capital, Ximen Qingkong had been taking care of him in the Wei Country because of their friendship.
To put it bluntly, he did not want Ximen Qingkong to die a tragic death.
Jia Wuqun, who could not speak, was even more speechless. He looked at Yuan Cong, who was beside him.
…
The Shangqing Sect was also building a new sect. They had already found a place to stay in the Song Country.
Next to the construction site, several senior members of the Shanghai Sect gathered together. After learning about Xuan Wei's death, they all sighed and didn't know what to say.
After all, Xuan Wei had taken care of the Shanghai Sect for so many years. Now that she had ended up like this, no one could feel happy about it. But they were also helpless.
Speaking of which, they were also glad that they had left Xuan Wei in time. Otherwise, if this happened, the Shanghai Sect would have to face a catastrophe against the Waning Moon Pavilion.
Not far away, Tang Yi stood alone on the edge of the mountain. She looked sad and disappointed. She looked into the distance and didn't move for a long time …
