Chapter 42 Doubt, worry(1/2)
Qinglong died. In Hongdu Mansion, thousands of miles away from Yingtian, another lord of Tianyan Sect, Huang Long, although his life is worry-free, he is in a state of worry.
The Star Lord of the Heavenly Pillar kneeling in front of him was completely trembling and in a huge fear.
Huang Long's major task was broken, and it was smashed to pieces.
The five masters of Team A sent out were in the end, only one captain Jiazi barely escaped. The other four were arrested and committed suicide, and the two died directly. Xin Sanqi and Wu Erba, who cooperated with the actions of Team A, were unknown in life and death, and their whereabouts were unknown.
Although judging from the news of Jiazi's return, the targets that need to be captured in the mission have fallen into a trap and cannot be captured, so they have died under their hidden weapons, but it is a loss to use the lives of the four masters to exchange for the life of the Jinyiwei hidden stake that has been exposed.
As for the whereabouts of Xin Sanqi and Wu Erba who are unknown and do not know life and death...
Obviously, in the eyes of Tianzhu Xingjun, these two of them, who are within thirty or even thirty of team Xin and Wu, are almost equal to those of ants, and they don't care about their lives.
...
After receiving this news, Huang Long was not as angry as the Tianzhu Xingjun was worried, and then cursed and punished him, but fell into deep thought.
Of course, the reason why this failed mission that seemed completely incompetent to the Heavenly Lord Star would make him fall into deep thought, naturally because Huang Long smelled an extraordinary smell from behind this failed mission.
First of all, judging from the news reported by Tianzhu Xingjun, there were only four people on the other side ambush, but these four people were all first-class experts, and one of them was extremely skilled in using the power crossbow.
No matter how you look at this, they are all the most elite masters among the Jinyiwei.
Such masters, even the capital's Pacification Department, should be very limited in the number of experts, not to mention the Yingtian Thousand Household Institute they are facing now.
Moreover, there is something that makes Huang Long a little confused.
If this time Chen Yanqing, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, really sent all his elites to the Hongdu Prefecture City, what would happen to the Jinyiwei who was sneak attacked and killed by the subordinates of Tianzhu Xingjun?
How could Chen Yanqing get into a person with obviously poor strength among his elites?
Huang Long immediately thought of two possibilities.
The first type is that this time, the team sent by Chen Yanqing is not just the four top experts. There is another group of "professional" talents who specialize in disguise, disguise, and spy on intelligence. The hidden stake that died under the sneak attack of the five-man hidden weapons of Team A is one of them.
The second type made Qinglong even more worried.
That is, the other party was not dead, and was not even injured. He just cooperated with the five members of Team A to act in a scene, in order to pretend to die and escape, and then hide in the muddy water again, and take the opportunity to investigate the information of Tianyan Sect again.
"Go and check the news about the dead Jinyiwei's stake."
Thinking of Huang Long, he couldn't calm down. He stood up and ordered the Lord of Heavenly Pillar, who was still kneeling on the ground with a little anxious tone.
"I have to see people alive, and I have to see corpses when I die."
Hearing Huanglong's orders, Tianzhu Xingjun was confused for a moment.
He even felt a little worried or nervous that he had auditory hallucinations.
‘Live to meet people...’
‘Is the news that Jiazi returns is fake? In fact, they did not kill the stake. They were just worried that this failure would be too heavy and the punishment was too heavy, so they deliberately fabricated such news to try to make up for some guilt?’
A lot of speculation arose in the mind of Tianzhu Xingjun, but he didn't even dare to ask Huang Long for a word, but instead spoke directly without hesitation.
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
...
However, no matter how beautiful he said, and without hesitation, after he really left Huanglong's room, the face of Tianzhu Xingjun immediately collapsed.
This time, the five most elite team members of his team, who took action together, fell into a trap, and directly damaged the four of them in the hands of the opponent. Only one Jiazi escaped in a panic, which was completely defeated.
Moreover, after this incident, the Jinyiwei's defense will definitely be more tight.
Under such unfavorable circumstances, it is obviously more difficult to complete the Qinglong task.
However, no matter how difficult it is, the Star Lord of Tianzhu can only grit his teeth.
After all, Qinglong did not get angry and punished for the failure of the mission this time, which was already extremely lucky for him. If the mission was messed up this time, Qinglong would probably not let him go for the second time.
And compared to the mission of arrest and assassination, this time Qinglong is just asking the investigation of a dead person's intelligence...
‘There shouldn’t be too difficult, right?’
Tianzhu Xingjun cheered himself up in his heart.
...
Unknown to Huang Long, he had guessed in his heart that he was playing "Golden Cicada Escape". After being separated from Zhu Jinxuan for nearly a month, he finally met Zhu Jinxuan again.
A small separation is better than a newlywed.
In addition, because he had been worried that Zhu Jinxuan would encounter trouble during the time he left, Bai Shier was in a little upset after meeting Zhu Jinxuan again.
Zhu Jinxuan was obviously more excited than him. After all, Bai Shier went deep into the most dangerous place in the east of the city to investigate the traces of Tianyan Sect, and his situation was obviously more dangerous than hers.
Especially when he heard Bai Shier talk about what he had encountered in the past two days, Zhu Jinxuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"In everyone's eyes, I am now a dead person, and the next is the best time for us to observe everything in secret."
After Bai Shier comforted Zhu Jinxuan, he smiled and talked about the future situation with a little smug look on his face.
"Then where should we start?"
These days, while worrying about Bai Shier's safety in his heart, he resisted the impulse and stayed honestly in the rented house for nearly a month. He almost didn't leave the door. Zhu Jinxuan, who looked like a lady in the boudoir, could not hold back her heart.
After all, even if she was "trapped" in the palace, she could still walk around in the huge palace. She couldn't stand it and eventually escaped from the palace.
Now, after being in the rented house for nearly a month, it has obviously reached the limit of her patience.
When she heard Bai Shier say his future plans, her eyes immediately shone, and she seemed to be unable to help herself, and she wanted to leave the house that seemed extremely cramped and wander in the vast world in the city.
"Ahem."
Bai Shier looked at Zhu Jinxuan, who was completely opposite to the worried look on his face, and couldn't help but stare at him. However, under the extremely hot eyes of Zhu Jinxuan, he immediately came to his senses, but in order to hide his strange expression, he quickly coughed.
"Ahem, is this..."
But Zhu Jinxuan's problem did make him unable to help but start thinking about this problem.
Before, because he was going to meet Zhu Jinxuan, his heart was completely filled with Zhu Jinxuan's pretty figure with every frown and smile. He just wanted to hurry back and meet Zhu Jinxuan as soon as possible. His plans were just planned in his mind, and he really didn't think about the detailed approach carefully.
As for what Zhu Jinxuan asked, "Where should I start first?"
Of course, he had never thought about it seriously and in detail.
"Xuaner What about your thoughts?"
In a hurry, Bai Shier, who could not think of a detailed entry point, threw the problem back to Zhu Jinxuan.
"I?"
Zhu Jinxuan obviously did not expect that Bai Shier had no preparation at all. Moreover, since she escaped from the palace and met with Bai Shier again, Bai Shier had given a general plan. She checked for the gaps and provided suggestions. Now Bai Shier directly asked her about her thoughts, and she was also a little confused.
"Yes, Xuan'er, your own thoughts."
Bai Shier looked at her cute and silly appearance, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, showing a three-point doting smile.
The "slow-down strategy" that was originally just to delay time has also become the enjoyment of appreciating beauty.
"Everyone says that a woman's sixth sense is the most accurate. Xuan'er, you are so charming, and the sixth sense must be more accurate."
When Zhu Jinxuan's face turned red when she heard Bai Shier praise him so bluntly, the cuteness on her face that was originally exposed by Bai Shier's rhetoric also instantly turned into shyness.
"What is the sixth sense? Why have you never heard of it before?"
However, since he established a lover relationship with Bai Shier, Bai Shier would always say something similar to straightforward praise from time to time, and Zhu Jinxuan had already had a considerable "resistance" than before. So, after blushing and glaring at Bai Shier as if shy, he asked about the word that Bai Shier had never heard of before with curiosity.
"Yeah, this..."
Although Bai Shier knew the word "sixth sense", he actually knew very little about the meaning of this word. As for how to describe and explain this word, there are naturally not many concepts.
"Is it the 'sixth consciousness' mentioned by Buddhism?"
Seeing that Bai Shier was stumbling and unable to explain, Zhu Jinxuan couldn't help but ask back.
“Uh~”
This time, Bai Shier was even more confused. He had at least heard of the sixth sense. Where did the sixth consciousness come from?
Buddhism? He is not those monks who like to meditate and recite scriptures. How could he know what the "sixth consciousness" mentioned in Buddhism?
"Well, this should be almost the same."
But although he didn't understand, Bai Shier still nodded and responded.
In his opinion, Zhu Jinxuan's understanding should be more thorough than his explanation of his little knowledge.
"Ahem, let's not talk about this, let's talk about Xuan'er's thoughts on this matter."
Bai Shier, who didn't want to continue to linger on this issue, coughed twice, and pulled the topic back to the previous question.
Although Bai Shier's words revealed strangeness, Zhu Jinxuan seemed to have become accustomed to Bai Shier's strangeness over the past year. Therefore, seeing that Bai Shier didn't want to continue talking about the topic of "sixth sense", she did not continue to break the casserole and ask the whole story. Instead, she followed Bai Shier's words and talked about the topic they discussed before.
"I think it's better to focus on that doctor first."
Zhu Jinxuan was obviously thinking about it carefully, so as soon as she opened her mouth, she spoke up a person who seemed to have nothing to do with this matter that Bai Shier had not expected.
"He? Why?"
The embarrassment on Bai Shier's face had disappeared. He frowned and looked at Zhu Jinxuan with confusion.
Originally, when he thought that even if the name Zhu Jinxuan said first was not the Du Mansion, it should be the Nanxin County Government, which is more lively than the Du Mansion.
