Chapter 89 Assassin Identity
The banquet organized by Shao Meilun ended in a blink of an eye. Although everyone seemed to be still interested, they actually wanted to go back to their rooms.
The information Shao Yi simply revealed to me rekindled my hope, but there were so many people at the time that I couldn't continue to ask questions, so I could only wait for the banquet to be over.
Finally, Shao Meilun announced the end. I quickly ran to Shao Yi and asked about the result.
Shao Yi said: "Brother Wu, don't be anxious. There are many people here and it's hard to describe in detail. I have already discussed it with Xian'er and my grandfather. We are going to go to Wujia Village with you in a few days to pay homage."
Say hello to your great-great-grandfather, how about we have a good chat on the road then?"
"Well... well, I'll go back and ask my fifth grandfather and the others when they plan to leave." I said.
"Well, remember to tell us when you have news, and we will seize the time to pack things up." Shao Yi said.
After separating from Shao Yi, I returned to Grandpa Fifth’s room with me, Mengzhu, Dad, and Yingying. Dad hadn’t spoken to me for a long time. At this time, he changed from his previous aloof image and asked
I know a lot about the Yin Division, and I also expressed that I would like to see it next time.
"I didn't expect this underworld to be so interesting. I will go there next time. Remember to make me a general tomorrow. I also want to give up the addiction of commanding thousands of troops." Dad said.
"Hahaha." Everyone laughed together.
"Fifth Grandpa, I want to ask you, why do you suddenly speak for the Shaw brothers and sisters?" I said.
"I knew you would ask. I just saw you whispering to Shao Yi a few times. You must also know that Shao Yi has the information about where Tun Shaoru's body is." Fifth Grandpa said.
"Yes, he told me, didn't he?" I said.
"That's right, that's why I spoke for them. Although Shao Yi is respectful on the surface, he is actually very deep in the city. He wants to use this information to let us help him seize power in the Shao family, so I did this."
Grandpa Five said.
"Seizing power? Didn't he say before that he and Shao Meilun had a candid conversation?" I asked.
"Yes, but he also hopes that we can help him persuade Shao Meilun. This man's desire for the position of head of the Shao family has exceeded my imagination." Fifth Grandpa said.
"Has he been like this before?" I asked.
"I don't know." As soon as Grandpa Wu finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Mengzhu asked, walking towards the door.
"It's me, Dong Jue." Dong Jue said outside the door.
Mengzhu opened the door and let Dong Jue in. When I saw it, it was fine now. Someone who knew was here.
"Brother, why are you here?" I said deliberately, jokingly.
"Hahaha, junior brother, don't make fun of me. I just have nothing to do after dinner and want to talk to you. This trip to the underworld is too dangerous, so I didn't bother to talk to you more. I didn't expect you to have grown to this point.
It’s reached a point.” Dong Jue said.
"Senior brother, we can chat, but you have to answer a few questions from me." I said.
"What's the problem?" Dong Jue asked.
"I want to know if Shao Yi has always been eager to be the head of the Shao family?" I asked.
"No, although he also longs for the position of the head of the Shao family, he is not obsessed with it. He is still willing to wait for the day when the old head of the Shao family takes the initiative to give up the throne." Dong Jue said.
This answer far exceeded my expectations. I said, "Then why is Shao Yi so eager to become the head of the Shao family when he comes back this time?"
"Actually, the main reason for this is still because of you." Dong Jue said.
"How do you say this?" I asked.
"Your various experiences in the Yinsi have long been a topic that our Shao family must talk about every day after dinner. At first, everyone still admired you sincerely, but later on, some changes took place in the Shao brothers and sisters," Dong Jue said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Don't you think the eldest lady is different?" Dong Jue said.
"I feel it." I said.
"The eldest lady feels that today you are no longer under the control of the Shao family, so she is a little sad." Dong Jue said.
"Control? What do you mean?" I was even more confused.
"Actually, it's not difficult for you to understand, right? Because the eldest lady was bullied by various forces of the Shao family when she was young, she has always been very purposeful in making friends and winning people's hearts. If it were you before going to the underworld, the eldest lady would still think
I can control you and use you for her, but today you are no longer controllable by the current Shao family, so the eldest lady is a little sad, and actually very pitiful." Dong Jue said.
After hearing this, I realized why Shao Xian no longer felt as domineering towards me as before.
"Pity? She is so sentimental, right?" Mengzhu was very angry when she heard this.
"Actually, I can understand her." Yingying said.
"How come you can be understood by everyone, Leng Yue? You could understand it when I mentioned Shao Zongxian and his wife's child who might have died in infancy. Can you understand it now? How unfortunate your childhood was." Mengzhu said.
"Mengzhu! You've gone too far." Fifth Grandpa said.
"Yes, I'm sorry Leng Yue, I said it but didn't mean it. I didn't mean it." Mengzhu realized that he had made a mistake and quickly apologized.
"It doesn't matter. I was really unhappy when I was a child, so I can understand others better." Yingying said.
Mengzhu went over and hugged Yingying, and I asked Dongjue:
"What about Shao Yi? What's changed?"
"Master Shao became very anxious. At first he was very excited to talk to us about you, then he was full of envy, and then he became a little resentful. But it was not resentment against you, he has always admired you, but resentment against the Shao family.
He felt that the Shao family did not give him enough stage to perform," Dong Jue said.
"Honestly speaking, there is indeed not enough stage." I said.
"Yes, he thinks that you are able to get to where you are today precisely because your father, the head of the Wu family, is willing to delegate power, allowing you to lead everyone to the underworld on behalf of the Wu family. However, he himself is restricted in whatever he does. To this day, the four
Even the court did not completely obey his orders." Dong Jue said.
"What about Nanting?" I asked.
"Nanting has always been a representative of Mr. Shao. In fact, among the four courts, perhaps only Nan Ting is the most loyal to Mr. Shao." Dong Jue said.
"No wonder." I said.
"Also, this experience made him feel that if the Shao family does not become a unified force, it will be disintegrated by the Taoist sect sooner or later. He believes that the Shao family owns the Shao family ferry, four courts and five unique skills, and there are countless complicated forbidden arts.
, and the Shao brothers and sisters are both leaders in the Taoist family, and the old head of the family is Beidou. Therefore, the Shao family should be the leader of fortune telling. However, it is precisely because the Shao family is falling apart and each has his own agenda that he is being plotted against. Today, Mr. Shao is the leader.
, Maybe it will be the eldest lady tomorrow, maybe one day it will be her turn..." At this point, Dong Jue knew that he had made a mistake and did not dare to say it anymore.
I quickly changed the topic and said: "Okay, senior brother, I basically understand it clearly. By the way, I heard Shao Yi say that they are going back to Wujia Village with us. Do you want to come with us?"
"Of course, I haven't been there yet." Dong Jue quickly followed my words.
"That's just right. You should come with me then." I said.
"That's natural." Dong Jue said.
Because of Dong Jue's gaffe, no one spoke for a long time in the whole room. At this time, I suddenly remembered the issue about the neck position that I had been paying attention to before, and immediately asked: "Brother, I noticed that this banquet hall is on the Shao family's neck."
Where, what does this mean?”
"Junior brother deserves to be called Shen Xiang. You are really careful. In fact, the Shao family has many banquet halls. Each one has different functions and decorations. For example, behind the garden, there is also a banquet hall named Jinlan.
Hall, which means sworn knot, was used by the old family leader when he invited his sworn brothers to a banquet. The neck area was originally called Wenjing Hall, which has a homophonic sound of "cut neck", which means cutting the neck of an acquaintance. Later, the old family owner thought it was unlucky.
, simply does not have a name, it is just called the banquet hall, it is the highest standard in the Shao family, and only someone who has been with the Shao family through life and death can be brought here." Dong Jue said.
"I see, it seems that Shao's family master also regards us as his own." I joked.
"Junior brother, you are right. Although there was a lot of embarrassment at today's dinner, in my opinion, the Shao family has no thoughts about you and the Wu family. Mr. Shao may be a little eager for success.
This may be the reason for what I just said, but to be fair, there are no bad people in the Shao family." Dong Jue said.
"Yeah, I believe it." I said.
After chatting for a while, Dongjue went back. Seeing that it was getting late, I returned to my room to rest.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, a strong murderous intention aroused my night eyes and ghost eyes. I shuddered involuntarily and woke up.
As soon as I woke up, I noticed someone in the room and said, "Who!"
At this time, I heard a sound of the air being cut. I knew that the person coming was evil, so I put my hands on my head and slashed my whole body towards the end of the bed. At the same time, a dagger appeared on my pillow.
This was the same skill as when I was assassinated that night. I was determined not to let him escape this time. I immediately grabbed his hand along the dagger and kicked the man in the abdomen with both feet.
Unexpectedly, this man was on guard and raised his leg to block my blow. This made me even more convinced that this was the killer from the beginning, because he knew my attack method.
I immediately mobilized the ghost pupil, and a force of unicorn poured into this person's body. However, the ghost pupil is naturally the nemesis of ghosts. For people in the underworld, their souls need to be drawn out first.
The ghost eye I activated first didn't work. The man broke free from my arm, turned around with the hand holding the dagger, and stabbed me.
I activated the Ghost Eye and was a little distracted. When I reacted, the dagger was almost hurting me. I barely blocked it. At this time, Qilin said: "My lord, quickly use the seven orifices to seal it. This is not the Yinsi!"
