Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty Seven: The Snake
Walking into the basement, the dim candlelight had been extinguished vigilantly. Xiao Qianye held Gu Chen and quietly felt the two rapid breaths in the corner. When he turned around and took a step forward, there seemed to be something.
Something sharp and cold passed by the tip of his nose, forcing him to take a step back. Before he could say anything, a low voice sounded in his ears: "Who is that person?"
"Mrs. Gao?" Xiao Qianye asked tentatively, and sure enough, the person in the corner stopped attacking. Her vigilance turned into hesitation in an instant. She took out the fire sticks from her sleeves and lit them, and carefully raised them to her eyes. However, when she realized
At this time, the person who appeared in the basement turned out to be the long-missing Master of the Military Pavilion. After a slight thump in his heart, he immediately protected the child behind him, holding back his fear and asked, "It's you...how could it be you? Where's Zhan Ping?"
Xiao Qianye looked coldly at this woman with a tired face. She was supposed to be a pampered person. At this time, she was disheveled and had not washed herself for an unknown period of time. Her whole body exuded a disgusting sour smell. Behind her was Gao Qianye.
Zhan Ping's son Gao Jing'an, although still a teenager, has long been famous as a bully in Yangchuan.
When the two of them saw him approaching, they both shrank back into the corner. Gao Jing'an grabbed the corner of his mother's clothes, completely losing his arrogance and domineering attitude in the past. Xiao Qianye raised the corner of his mouth slightly and snorted coldly. He didn't know why.
The scene in front of me is so ridiculous. A little bully actually hides behind his mother at such a life-or-death moment? And this woman, who has no power and can only pretend to be calm with a silver dagger, is really desperate.
to protect his son.
He suddenly became a little absent-minded, and for some reason he thought of his mother. He left home when he was young, and his memory of his mother was very faint, but he still clearly remembered that whenever he was punished by his father, his mother would do the same thing.
Stopping in front of him, using her weak body to protect the child at all costs.
Occasionally, his father would scold his mother, saying that her loving mother often failed, but every time, her mother would just smile and touch his head, and secretly take him away.
Dad and Mom...did they never blame their eldest brother at the last moment of their lives?
Many years passed, and these memories were lost in the struggle for power, and would never be easily recalled by him again.
"Where is Zhan Ping?" Mrs. Gao swallowed nervously, and the hand holding the silver dagger kept shaking violently. Xiao Qianye finally came to his senses and replied calmly: "Captain Gao knows that he has committed an unforgivable crime.
In order to keep your mother and son safe, you specifically threatened me to come here to rescue you. As for him, Madam should know who is looking for him now."
"Yes... Your Majesty?" Mrs. Gao took a deep breath. There was no need to think about such an obvious answer. Long before Gao Zhanping decided to incite the second prince's coup, he had secretly sent their mother and son to Uncle Yuan's mansion in Jiacheng.
Zhan Ping said that although Uncle Yuan may not be loyal to him, he is one of the few people who can still provide shelter at the moment. But why did the Master of the Military Pavilion come to him so quickly? Could it be that Yuan Chengji saw that the situation was wrong and ignored him?
After so many years of support from Governor Gao, he betrayed Zhan Ping right away?
"Even if Uncle Yuan wants to protect you, it's a pity that the opponents he encounters are not of the same level. It's a pity that no matter who you replace this time, the result will be the same. Even if Gao Chengchuan is still alive, it won't change at all." Xiao Qian
Ye smiled, and just by looking at the complex emotions on Mrs. Gao's face, she could tell what she was thinking. He strode closer, turning the ancient dust in his hand seemingly carelessly, and whispered in the dim light of the fire.
: "Did Captain Gao give Madam an antidote bottle? Madam, please give it to me, and I will ensure that you are safely sent to the west coast and find an opportunity to leave Feiyuan."
Mrs. Gao bit her lip, as if she was making the final hesitation. Can this person's words be trusted? In fact, it doesn't matter anymore. If she doesn't follow his request, she and her son will definitely not be able to get out of this basement.
The west coast...Zhan Ping had previously said that he had arranged ships to go out to sea on the west coast. Unfortunately, before they could take advantage of the chaos to escape, the imperial capital immediately blocked all the coastlines. It was so serious that they had to take refuge nearby.
Yuan Chengji was waiting for the opportunity to act.
But at this time, Pavilion Master Xiao really has a way to make them leave Feiyuan? Or does Zhan Ping have some leverage that he doesn't even know about?
Mrs. Gao was puzzled, but when she looked back and saw her son, she finally closed her eyes tightly. She took out a small medicine bottle from her arms and threw it to him. Xiao Qianye immediately put it away, and a huge stone finally fell to the ground in his heart.
, Lian Lian's tone suddenly became much more relaxed. Mrs. Gao held her shivering son with one hand and followed him out of the basement. The moment they walked out, the two of them let out a shocked cry, and both of them covered their mouths in unison,
I don’t dare to let out any air.
In front of me, Duke Yuan's mansion has disappeared, replaced by shattered dust on the ground, and two monsters not far away staring at huge pupils, looking at something unknown.
Xiao Qianye was confused for a moment, and suddenly felt something was wrong. His instinct forced him to raise his head and look to the other side.
When he saw it, his face instantly became gloomy. There was a huge green snake hovering over Jiacheng. It had no wings, but stood strangely in the air.
With such a huge body, the sunny Jiacheng was completely covered by shadows. However, the unsuspecting people around were not frightened by this giant snake. Instead, they all let out sighs of relief.
The underworld snake! It’s the underworld snake stationed near Jiacheng!
As soon as his mind went blank, he immediately looked for the snake's head. Sure enough, a proud figure stood tall, looking at him with sharp eyes from a long distance away.
"Oh, it's the Underworld Snake." The Night King smiled with interest. He just closed his lips and teeth. Under the influence of the power of commanding all beasts, the big snake that had been motionless in mid-air suddenly turned its head. Xiao Qian
Ye Leng broke out in a sweat. Although Feiyuan had been training alien beasts for thousands of years, if he really encountered an opponent like the Night King, he couldn't guarantee whether these things would rebel overnight!
The Dark Snake hesitated, but the slight movement of turning its head already made Nie Sheng on the snake's head feel an unprecedented fright. He immediately jumped down from the high altitude and landed vigorously in front of Xiao Qianye.
"Huh?" The Night King caught a glimpse of his movements and sighed with admiration, "What a quick reaction. Who is this?"
"Don't touch him." Xiao Qianye knew the Night King's temperament and immediately warned him sternly. The Night King smiled, but he really did not use his ability to command all beasts to attract the attention of the underworld snake again.
"Young Pavilion Master." Nie Sheng shouted out of habit, but then he realized that the person in front of him was no longer the original Pavilion Master. He held a spear in his hand and stared at him warily, his weather-beaten brows furrowed again and again.
Xiao Qianye held Gu Chen tightly, but he did not reply. Instead, he strode back to the Night King and whispered: "Let's go."
"Are you leaving now?" The Night King asked angrily, feeling a little disappointed. Xiao Qianye nodded heavily. The most important thing at the moment was how to get back and detoxify the child first. If at this time and
Nie Sheng's conflict would not only waste time, but he could not guarantee whether the Night King beside him would be provoked and suddenly intervene to hurt him.
When he looked at the frightened mother and son, he felt even more upset. The Night King looked at his troubled expression amusedly and asked proactively: "Is there anything else you need my help with? Pavilion Master Xiao can just ask.
, no need to see outside."
Nie Sheng listened to the conversation between the two people as if no one was watching, but he was secretly frightened. Even if the people around the Young Pavilion Master did not take action, he could feel the surging divine power in this man, which was tens of millions stronger than anyone he had ever seen.
times.
What's going on with this inexplicable uneasiness? Stop it... He has an intuition that he probably can't stop it at all and takes action rashly. He can't even guarantee whether the underworld snake, which has been following orders, will fight back against him.
Xiao Qianye frowned and thought for a while. He didn't want to have much to do with the Night King, and he didn't want to have any more entanglements with Nie Sheng at this time. Moreover, only the Night King could quickly take him back to Shucheng without any trouble with Nie Sheng.
conflict.
But he still turned his head with a frown. Gao Zhanping was a fugitive, and his wife and children must also be the targets of the military court. He had to send them to the west coast first, and then go to Gao Zhanping to negotiate terms.
The only reason Mingxi was willing to let go was simply the "gift" Gao Zhanping mentioned. If another accident happened before they left Feiyuan, would there be any other special way to communicate between them?
He didn't care if Mingxi could get that gift. In contrast, if that thing really played a vital role in the royal family, he would rather have this "gift" fall into his hands!
Once such a terrifying thought appeared, Xiao Qianye could no longer calm down. He paced anxiously on the spot, with thousands of possible outcomes flashing through his mind. Anyway, now that his eldest brother has left the imperial capital, if he gets another
If there is something that makes Mingxi afraid, then he will not be so passive when facing him in the future! He must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, otherwise he will always be restricted and exploited!
Xiao Qianye took a deep breath, finally set his pace, looked at the Night King with gloomy eyes like a pool of stagnant water, and said in a low voice: "I want to send them to the west coast first, and then return to Shucheng to find Gao Zhanping."
"Then what?" The Night King smiled contemptuously, and Xiao Qianye replied seriously, "Then I will go to Juming Bay to help you find the sealing place. There will be no further delay."
"Hmph... I hope you will do what you say." The Night King reminded him with a warning. The spirit body came to Mrs. Gao and her son in a flash, and saw ink-colored spiritual power gushing out from under his palm, like thick ink spreading in the water, covering the two of them.
The person was wrapped in it, and the other hand shot out the same spiritual power to rest on Xiao Qianye's shoulder. The moment the light transformation technique rippled, Xiao Qianye only saw black and white in front of his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, his ears
I heard the sound of surging waves.
Nie Sheng watched this scene indifferently from where he was. He had already heard his colleagues mention this unique technique, saying that it could travel against the wind, disappear with light, and travel thousands of miles in a matter of seconds!
Nie Sheng immediately realized that the people around the Young Pavilion Master were from the Heaven Realm! He was indeed in cahoots with the Heaven Realm as rumored!
On the other side, the Night King dissipated his magical power, and the Gao family mother and son hugged each other in fear. Although Jiacheng was close to the west coast, it was displaced in such a blink of an eye. What kind of magic did this person use?
Xiao Qianye walked around and suddenly realized that the people arranged by Mingxi would not be waiting at the west coast so quickly. He suddenly showed a somewhat embarrassed look. The Night King sneered and said sarcastically: "You won't be so quick.
Are you going to regret it?"
Before he finished speaking, a figure hurriedly walked from the port, heading straight in their direction. Xiao Qianye hesitated for a moment, thinking that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. The person was wearing a loose-fitting coat.
Dressed in blue gauze, her long hair was carefully tied up, and she was holding a book in her hand. Although she looked out of breath, she still looked elegant and scholarly. After walking to a distance of three steps away from several people, she bowed her hands and bowed lightly.
Said: "Pavilion Master Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. I have been ordered to wait here. Please leave the person behind you to me."
"Sir is..." Xiao Qianye recalled this person quickly in his mind, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the invisible three-knife symbol on his clothes. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This symbol was all too familiar to him. Wasn't this the same symbol that caused the chaos in the first place?
The wind demon that Fei Yuan left the three armies helpless!
"Pavilion Master Xiao doesn't remember me? Haha, no wonder, I'm just a teacher in Jiacheng, and I've only met you a few times."
"Mr. Teacher... Mr. Chou from Chouxin Academy?" Xiao Qianye finally remembered who this person was. Jiacheng was originally the city that valued education the most in Yangchuan. Since ancient times, there have been countless academies and galleries, including Wu
There is a sword hall, and the knife hall is full of flowers. It is really different from other cities where people gather for eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling.
It was impossible for him to suddenly appear at this time, unless he had been ordered to wait here early in the morning.
Xiao Qianye glanced at the Gao family mother and son behind him worriedly, and secretly asked Mr. Chou to tell him the general situation. Mr. Chou was a scholar, and he could immediately understand the meaning of the words with just a little reminder, and immediately replied: "I understand, Xiao Ge
Don't worry, Lord, I will temporarily ensure the safety of both of them."
Xiao Qianye paused, obviously understanding what this "temporary" meant, but when he saw Mr. Chou smiling, he walked past him without hesitation. He first nodded politely to the Night King, and then said something to Mrs. Gao.
He made a gesture of invitation: "Madam and Young Master, please follow me and hide for now. The merchant ships out to sea are already stepping up their preparations. In a few days, you two can leave safely."
"Who do you belong to?" Madam Gao was so nervous that her whole body was sweating, and her voice could not help but tremble. The person who still had the power to go to sea at this time could be someone arranged by His Majesty?
Emperor Tianzun must have wanted to kill their entire family. Why would he do such an unreasonable move?
Mr. Chou just shook his head with a smile and did not give her too much response. He took off a hairpin from Mrs. Gao's head without any surprise, then took off the jade pendant from Gao Jing'an's waist, and then put them together
He handed it to Xiao Qianye and told him: "Pavilion Master Xiao should bring some tokens back to reassure Captain Gao. I'll leave you to worry about what your Majesty is asking for."
Xiao Qianye took it calmly. The teacher in Jiacheng clearly did not reveal any important information, but he clearly understood at this moment that all current developments were still under the control of Mingxi.
