The carriage drove for a long time. Jiang Changfeng was initially worried about the martial law in the city and whether the carriage would be stopped by patrolling soldiers. However, he thought that since these people had made arrangements and the route was naturally selected in advance, there should be no accidents. what is the problem.
that's the truth.
The journey was uneventful. When the carriage stopped, Jiang Changfeng got out of the carriage and looked around. He knew where he was. He had been in Gulin City for many years, so he could know the place in front of him even in relatively remote places. It is the only sea temple in Gulin City, and he can recognize it at a glance.
Donghai County is close to the sea. Most of the people here make a living by fishing, so they believe in the Poseidon and hold Poseidon sacrifices every year.
However, the Tanah Lot Temple is not big. Except on the days of sacrifice, it is overcrowded and bustling, but usually it is deserted and deserted. Moreover, it is located in a remote place. Because the people are in awe of the gods, wherever temples are built, there are usually no people nearby. There are residential buildings.
"Second Master Jiang, please!" The driver jumped out of the carriage and pointed to the gate of Tanah Lot Temple: "The master is waiting for you inside!"
Jiang Changfeng straightened his clothes, then raised his hands and said, "May I ask who the master is?"
The coachman said expressionlessly: "You'll find out when you get in."
Jiang Changfeng felt a little unhappy when he heard his cold tone without any respect. In the past, even the governor Chen Ting would have smiled when he saw him, but he also knew that now that he was reduced to this, his life was not guaranteed. , How can I care about this? I also know that the other party can rescue me from the heavy prison. Of course, I have a way to escape from the city, so I don’t waste any time and walk directly to the gate of Tanah Lot Temple.
When he arrived at the door, he knocked lightly. The door was opened and a figure appeared inside. When he saw Jiang Changfeng, he didn't say anything but just winked. After Jiang Changfeng entered, the man closed the door and lit a candle in the room. The fire was very dim. The Tanah Lot Temple only offered sacrifices once a year, and no one came to take care of it on weekdays. Dust and dust were floating in the air. The man led the way and led Jiang Changfeng to a small house.
The Jiang family naturally participates in the annual Poseidon sacrifice. Although Jiang Changfeng has been on Iron Island in recent years, he also participated in Poseidon sacrifices countless times in those years. He is also very familiar with the Poseidon Temple and knows that every time he comes to this house During the sacrifice, it was a place where incense and candles were stored. It was not spacious. There were no lights inside at this time. It was so dark that it was impossible to see the scene inside. He was a little strange. When he was about to ask, the person beside him already said: "Master. , Jiang Changfeng has arrived!"
Jiang Changfeng was startled when he saw that he was speaking to the small dark room, thinking that there was actually someone in the small dark room.
He took a step forward, cupped his hands in the small dark room and said, "Xiajiang Changfeng, thank you for your help!"
"Jiang Changfeng, why did Donghai suffer such a complete defeat?" A hoarse voice came from the small dark room: "Explain what happened?"
Jiang Changfeng was startled and said cautiously: "Your Excellency... What is your surname?"
The person next to me said coldly: "I asked you to reply, not to ask questions."
"Lu Shanghe suffered a complete defeat in Xichuan. The Beggar Clan had an easy chance to win, but failed." The hoarse voice inside said: "I had high hopes for you in the East China Sea, but you ended up with this result."
The corners of Jiang Changfeng's eyes twitched slightly, and the man asked again: "Do you know where Lu Shanghe and the others are now?"
Jiang Changfeng vaguely understood something and bowed deeply: "I was stationed at Tiedao. The officers and soldiers attacked Haifeng Island first, and then attacked Tiedao. Before I was imprisoned, Haifeng Island had already fallen, so... I didn't know about them. 's whereabouts."
"you do not know?"
"I really don't know." Jiang Changfeng said: "As far as I know, everything is caused by Jin Yihou Qining ruining our affairs. This person is cunning and must be eradicated."
"oh?"
Jiang Changfeng cupped his hands and asked cautiously: "Dare I ask... are you sent by the hermit master?"
There was silence in the room for a while, and then the hoarse voice was heard: "Do you know who I am? Do you know who the hermit master is?"
"I don't know." Jiang Changfeng said hurriedly: "Although my brother mentioned that the hermit master wanted to help us revive the East China Sea, he never revealed the identity of the hermit master. My brother is tight-lipped. On the Iron Island, he would rather commit suicide than be ruined. A major event for the hermit."
The voice said: "Jiang Mantian is indeed loyal and reliable." After a slight pause, he asked: "Does the man named Qi know that Feichan Miren is also one of ours?"
Jiang Changfeng said hurriedly: "My brother sent me two Feichan secret ninjas, and I mixed these two people among the supervisors. They usually talk little and no one knows their identities. Although the officers and soldiers conquered the two islands this time, But there are so many people, and my brother has already forged the origins of two Feichan secret ninjas before. If they were to be interrogated, they would be able to report it, and it would be impossible for the officers and soldiers to check them one by one, so...!"
"So you don't think the officers and soldiers know the true identities of those two people?"
Jiang Changfeng hesitated for a moment and then said, "I'm not sure."
"Has Jiang Mantian told you the origins of these flying cicada secret ninjas?" The hoarse voice in the room pondered for a moment before slowly asking: "Has he told you the purpose of these flying cicada secret ninjas coming to the East China Sea?"
"This...!" Jiang Changfeng hesitated a little, and the man beside him said calmly: "The Hermit Master came to Donghai to investigate the matter in person. He wants to make a new plan. You can say whatever you know, but in front of the Hermit Master, if there is any If you tell a lie, you know the consequences."
Jiang Changfeng glanced sideways at the person next to him, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "These flying cicada secret ninjas were originally a sect of Fusang Island Kingdom. They were expelled from Fusang by other sects and lived on the East China Sea. It is said that the flying cicadas are There are twenty-six Cicada Ninja families, with more than two hundred people, old and young. These people are hiding on the islands in the East China Sea, struggling to make a living. However, these Fuso Ninjas are indeed quite successful in their methods, and they have been recruited by others...!"
"Being picked up by someone?"
Jiang Changfeng said: "I don't know who they were recruited by. I only know that their leader is called Feichan Danfu. He sent Feichan Miren to Iron Island two years ago...!"
"It seems you know quite a lot." The hoarse voice said: "The Feichan Secret Ninja are a secret elite force. Do you know why they come to the East China Sea?"
Jiang Changfeng hesitated for a moment and then said: "I know a little bit."
"Oh?" The voice said calmly: "What do you know?"
Jiang Changfeng pondered for a moment before saying, "They seem to be here for the Xuanwu beast!"
The eyes of the man standing next to Jiang Changfeng twitched slightly, but he remained calm. The voice inside also fell silent for a moment, and then quickly said: "Did Jiang Mantian tell you that they are here for the Xuanwu Divine Beast?"
"This...!" Jiang Changfeng thought for a while and then said: "The hermit master told my brother that the Xuanwu Divine Pill of the Xuanwu Divine Beast is of great use to the plan, so we should look for traces of the Xuanwu Divine Beast on the sea...!"
"So he told you." The voice inside sighed: "You are right. The Xuanwu Divine Pill in the body of the Xuanwu Divine Beast is indeed of great help to our major affairs, but the Xuanwu Divine Beast only appeared after thirty years. , it is not easy to find the Xuanwu Divine Beast. Your Jiang family is a century-old family in the East China Sea and relies on the sea to eat, so I asked you to find the whereabouts of the Xuanwu Divine Beast." After a pause, he said: "Your brother told you about Feichan Mi Shinobu came to the East China Sea to help you find the Xuanwu beast?"
"Exactly." The corners of Jiang Changfeng's eyes twitched slightly, but he still said: "The Flying Chan Miren have been living in the East China Sea for many years, so they are very familiar with the East China Sea. My brother said that they are here to help us find the Xuanwu Divine Beast."
"Oh?" said the voice: "Then do you know that Feichan Miren is also related to the Dong Qi people?"
Jiang Changfeng said immediately: "My brother has never mentioned many things to me. He told me about the Xuanwu beast in the hope that I can pay more attention to it. Other than that, he didn't mention anything else."
"You just said you don't know my true identity. Is it true or false?" the voice inside said coldly.
Jiang Changfeng said hurriedly: "Although my brother mentioned that the Hidden Lord will help us revive the East China Sea, he never mentioned the true identity of the Hidden Lord. I really don't know. If there is a word of deception, the sky will strike like lightning."
"Didn't your brother ever mention anything else about me?" said the voice.
Jiang Changfeng said: "My brother said that Lord Yin is a man of great talent and strategy. Lu Shanghe and Lord Lu are so heroic and are willing to obey Lord Hermit's orders. We, the Jiang family, must only follow Lord Yin's lead. My brother also said that as soon as the opportunity comes, Lord Yin will raise his arms." Huh, when the time comes...!" At this point, the voice suddenly stopped. After a period of silence, the voice in the room asked: "Why don't you continue?"
Jiang Changfeng's expression became very strange. He took two steps back slowly and asked without answering, "When did the Hermit Master come to the East China Sea?"
"You can ask when the hermit master will arrive?" The man next to him said sternly: "The hermit master asked me, but he still didn't answer honestly."
Jiang Changfeng suddenly took a few steps back, his eyes like daggers, staring at the dark cabin, and sneered: "You said you are the hermit master, what proof is there?"
"Bold!" The man next to him said with a stern face: "Jiang Changfeng, you were going to die without a burial place, but the hermit master saved you out of kindness, and yet you are still acting recklessly here."
Jiang Changfeng suddenly raised his hand, pointed at the small black room and said, "Who are you? You are definitely not the hermit master. The hermit master... will never come to the East China Sea in person!"
The man next to him clenched his hands into fists and looked coldly at Jiang Changfeng: "Do you dare to doubt the hidden master?"
Jiang Changfeng sneered and said: "I understand, I understand, hahaha... I almost fell into your trap. No wonder I was able to escape from the prison so smoothly tonight. It turned out to be a trap set by you." The voice mentioned , said sternly: "You surnamed Qi, how can you be a hero if you are so sneaky? Get out of here, you are pretending to be a ghost here, you really think I am at your mercy!"
There was silence all around, and suddenly a sigh was heard, but it came from behind Jiang Changfeng. Jiang Changfeng turned around abruptly, and saw a figure slowly walking out from the shadows behind. Jiang Changfeng stared at the figure, When he saw clearly, a look of resentment immediately appeared in his eyes. The person walking out from behind was none other than Jin Yihou Qining.
