A Clash of Gods - Chapter 761

[Chapter 757]

Qu Xiaocang raised his hand to invite Qi Ning to drink tea, and when Qi Ning took a sip from the cup, he made a wink to signal Yan Lingxian to step back for the time being.

When Yan Lingxian retreated, Qu Xiaocang smiled and said, “Young Master Hou’s trip to Dongqi, brought back the embassy to send his relatives, it was really hard work along the way.”

“Lieutenant Qu, the one who will bring the regiment back to the capital is the King of Huainan.” Qi Ning laughed and said, “I can only be regarded as giving up halfway.”

“Master Hou is joking.” Qu Xiaocang is very capable in life. He will keep three points for what he should say, and never say a word if he shouldn’t.

Qi Ning looked around, then lowered his voice and said, “Lieutenant Qu, do you know why the Marquis left suddenly after entering the territory of Chu with the Eastern Qi embassy?”

Qu Xiaocang shook his head and said, “I don’t know about my humble position.”

“Qiao Xiaowei knows about the Aoki Conference of the Beggar Gang.” Qi Ning leaned forward slightly: “Actually, I have obeyed the emperor’s secret order to see if the Beggar Gang will cause trouble in Xiangyang.”

Qu Xiaocang was taken aback and asked, “Could it be that Lord Hou went to Xiangyang?”

When he was in Xiangyang, Qi Ning disguised himself as the leader of Wei Rong, who was the beggar gang’s Kang Jinlong. Although Qu Xiaocang was shrewd, Zhong Ya came from the Yi Rong family, one of the Northern Liang and Nan Zhong. After all, Qu Xiaocang had no attainments in disguise, and he did not see through it.

At this time, I heard that Qi Ning had also been to Xiangyang, but I was a little surprised. I thought that although the Shenhou Mansion was not full of eyes and ears in Xiangyang, if Qi Ning arrived in Xiangyang, he would know some clues, but he knew nothing. It seems that This little prince is really magical.

Qi Ning smiled slightly, his expression became serious, and he asked in a low voice, “Xiaowei Qu, it is said that Lu Shanghe was imprisoned by the Beggar Gang, but then disappeared suddenly. Is this true or false?”

Qi Ning naturally didn’t want Qu Xiaocang to know that he had changed his face, but when Qu Xiaocang heard Qi Ning’s question, he was stunned. The Hou Mansion has not leaked any news. Could it be that Qi Ning got the news from the Beggar Gang?

“Master Hou, this is indeed the case.” Qu Xiaocang nodded.

Qi Ning frowned and said, “Who rescued people under the eyes of the beggar gang, who did it?”

Qu Xiaocang hesitated for a while before saying: “Reporting to the Marquis, who did it? It is still under investigation and cannot be determined. However, the man who rescued Lu Shanghe was indeed very powerful, not a generalist, and he did not leave behind. Useful clues. After I returned to Beijing from Xiangyang, I told the God Hou about this matter, and the God Hou has also instructed us to investigate the truth behind the department.”

Qi Ning gave an “oh” before saying: “Xiaowei Qu, Lu Shanghe and Baihu intend to control the beggar gang, and we still don’t know what the conspiracy was after that. But this time they succeeded, Lu Shanghe will definitely not be reconciled, and it will be inevitable in the future. There will still be actions, Lu Shanghe is a figure in the rivers and lakes, and this matter really requires you to pay more attention to this matter.”

“Master Hou, don’t worry.” Qu Xiaocang said, “Elder brother is now in Xichuan, secretly investigating this matter, first of all, starting from Lu Shanghe’s previous contacts, to check whether this person has any connection with Dongqi or Beihan. After a pause, he said softly, “The Mansion of the Marquis of God will also send secret letters to the major sect masters of the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects. Anyone who can find the whereabouts of Lu Shanghe will be rewarded. Moreover, Lu Shanghe is now the enemy of the Beggar Gang. The beggar gang will go all out to pursue him, and the disciples of the beggar gang are all over the world, and there are ears and eyes everywhere, unless Lu Shanghe disappears, but as long as he shows up on the rivers and lakes, he will be captured immediately.”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “That’s good.” After thinking for a while, he took something from his arms and handed it over. Qu Xiaocang got up, took it with both hands respectfully, opened it and glanced at it, his expression stunned, and he returned it with both hands. He said respectfully: “It turns out that Lord Hou has come to secretly examine Bei Tangyu under the imperial decree.”

Naturally, what Qi Ning took out was the hand letter that Longtai gave him.

Longtai is very clear about the value of Beitangyu. Beitangyu presided over the restoration of the world map in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the world map is in hand, and the world is at the moment. If Chu can get an accurate map of the world, its significance is no less than that More than tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

Longtai has the intention to let Qi Ning Xiangbei Tangyu test the inside story of the universe map,

Although Qi Ning felt that it was extremely difficult to get Beitangyu to hand over the world map, it was better to give it a try than to be indifferent. Moreover, Beitangyu’s greatest value was the world map. If he could not take advantage of this value, Beitangyu would also It’s like a waste person.

He came to the Shenhou Mansion today to explore Ximen Zhanying’s tone. Although he knew that Ximen Zhanying had a good impression of him, it was a matter of life. It would be better to see what Ximen Zhanying meant beforehand. Ying has not yet come to Shenhou Mansion, and just took this opportunity to visit Beitangyu.

Bei Tangyu was arrested in Xiangyang, and then he was secretly escorted into Beijing by the Shenhou Mansion, and now he is in the Shenhou Mansion.

Qi Ning took Longtai’s hand letter into his arms and said with a smile, “Xiaowei Qu, I came to interrogate this early in the morning. I don’t know if it is convenient or not.”

Qu Xiaocang immediately said: “With the emperor’s hand-decree, whenever the Lord Hou interrogates, it is convenient.” He asked cautiously, “Master Hou, do you want to go now?”

Qi Ning got up and said, “If it’s not troublesome, please ask Captain Qu to lead the way now.”

The two walked out of the lobby, Qu Xiaocang led the way, passed through a few doors, turned east, and walked to an archway. There were guards by a Shenhou manor on the left and right of the arch. Standing like a stone sculpture, Qu Xiaocang turned his head and said, “Master Hou, after entering, there is a stone path, follow my footsteps, don’t go wrong.”

Qi Ning knew that his exhortation must have a deep meaning, and nodded slightly, Qu Xiaocang walked in through the arch, and Qi Ning followed closely.

When he entered the courtyard, he saw that the courtyard was filled with various rockeries, as if entering a stone forest. Qi Ning was startled, but immediately thought that there must be a mystery in this courtyard.

Sure enough, after taking seven or eight steps forward, Qu Xiaocang looked back at Qi Ning again and nodded slightly. Qi Ning understood what he meant and nodded to show his understanding.

Next, Qu Xiaocang took every step in front of him very carefully, while Qi Ning followed behind, stepping on the steps that Qu Xiaocang walked, not daring to make a mistake, the road twisted and twisted in the rockery group, Like a snake, after walking about 60 paces, Qu Xiaocang slammed his feet, and the whole person floated out like a cloud. Qi Ning thought that this Qu Xiaocang was short and fat, but his movements were sensitive.

He followed behind, but also kicked up and landed next to Qu Xiaocang. Qu Xiaocang smiled and said, “Master Hou is very good.” He raised his finger and pointed forward: “Master Hou, that’s where Bei Tangyu is.”

Qi Ning looked up and saw a pond between the arches of the stone forest. It was covered with a layer of lotus leaves. It was midsummer, and the lotus leaves were green, and the lotus flowers had already bloomed. In the middle of the lotus pond, there was a An quaint house, surrounded by rockeries that look dry, but there is something unique and beautiful in the middle.

Qi Ning could not have imagined that there is such a good place in the Shenhou Mansion, Qu Xiaocang has already said by the side: “Master Hou, this has always been the office of the Shenhou Mansion, but the Shenhou has lived in the idle for the past two years. Leju, don’t come here, but this place is empty. After Bei Tangyu was escorted back to Beijing, the marquis ordered Bei Tangyu to live here.”

Qi Ning couldn’t help but ask: “Is it safe here? Beitangyu is unusual, but there must be no mistakes.” He wanted to say that the little demon girl Anao was locked in the Shenhou mansion last time, and the swing easily broke into the Shenhou mansion. Anao was rescued, but he didn’t say it if he hit Shenhou Mansion in the face.

“Master Marquis, this place is called Jiugong Pond.” Qu Xiaocang said, “Speaking of a sin, this Jiugong Pond looks ordinary, but it is closely guarded, no less than the emperor’s bedroom. In the world, even if the great master comes, It is not easy to get close to Jiugongchi easily.”

Qu Xiaocang’s words were concise and concise, and he didn’t say much, but these few words were already full of weight and full of confidence.

Hearing what he said, Qi Ning didn’t doubt it. He couldn’t help but think of the ** Plum Blossom Forest in Chaowu Ridge. Among them, the stone forest in this courtyard obviously has the same purpose.

Just came in with Qu Xiaocang, it seems simple, but if there is no Qu Xiaocang to lead the way, I am afraid that I will be trapped in the stone forest. The stone forest in the garden is obviously a hidden mystery.

“Xiaowei Qu just brought me in, isn’t it wrong?” Qi Ning joked deliberately, “I want to enter the Jiugongchi in the future. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com will follow the steps just now.”

Qu Xiaocang said with a smile, “If Lord Hou wants to come in, there will be no problem. But if Lord Hou wants to come in again on the same path, I’m afraid he will be trapped in it.”

“Oh”

Qu Xiaocang smiled and said: “To be honest, Lord Hou, when we came in just now, we had already touched the organ, the stone forest has changed, and we have to take a new path to enter, so even if we remember the path just now, it is completely useless.”

Qi Ning thought that the doorway of this stone forest is really not small, and asked: “Does everyone in the Shenhou Mansion know how to enter the Jiugongchi?”

Qu Xiaocang pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, “Apart from the gods, there are no more than three people who know how to enter the Jiugongchi, and the humble one happens to be one of them.” Hand said: “Master Hou, please!”

The two walked to the Jiugong Pond, and then Qi Ning could see clearly that there was indeed a straight stone path made of black stones in the lotus leaf package that led directly to the quaint wooden house in the pool. Qu Xiaocang led Qi Ning onto the black stone. Road, the drizzle has just stopped, the lotus pond is filled with intoxicating fragrance, refreshing.

When he got to the edge of the wooden house, Qu Xiaocang cupped his hands and said loudly, “Master Yu, Jinyi is here to visit!”

There was no sound in the house. Qi Ning saw a window open, walked to the window, and glanced inside, only to see that the layout of the house was simple, but it was simple and simple. The most conspicuous thing was that there was a row of bookshelves against the wall. , filled with books of various colors, and Bei Tangyu, the prince of the Northern Han Dynasty in casual clothes, was lying on a rocking chair at this moment, holding a roll of books in his hand, leisurely, ignoring the movement outside.

Qi Ning sighed and thought to himself about this situation, Bei Tangyu was not like a prisoner, but a family man who took care of his life.
