Gongzhaxi glanced at Ximen Zhanying and said nothing. Then he looked towards Beitangfeng. Seeing that Beitangfeng was protected by Lord Vulcan behind him, he walked slowly towards Lord Vulcan.
Seeing that Gong Zhaxi ignored him, Ximen Zhanying was a little angry. At this time, an official from the Shenhou Palace stood in front of Gong Zhaxi. Qi Ning vaguely recognized this person. When he attacked Qianwu Ridge, he had Appeared in Xichuan, Ximen Zhanying seemed to call him Senior Brother Lan.
Gongzashi clasped his hands together and finally said, "I don't want to cause trouble. I just want to get back my own things. Please step aside."
Senior Brother Lan was kind and said with a smile: "Xiangyang has issued a curfew, and it also prohibits selfish fighting in the city. You gather here and fight each other. This must be made clear."
Ximen Zhanying sneered and said: "As soon as you monks entered Xiangyang City, we noticed it and knew that you would make trouble sooner or later. It was just as we expected."
Only then did Qi Ning realize that Ximen Zhanying and others came here not because they noticed Cao Wei and others, but because they were keeping an eye on Gongzashi and others.
It's no wonder that Gonzashi and his party did not change their attire. No matter where they go, they are naturally very conspicuous.
The Ancient Elephant Kingdom is far away on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. After the collapse of the previous dynasty, the Ancient Elephant Kingdom had no contacts with the Central Plains, and the exchanges between the two sides are also very rare. It is extremely rare to see Qinghai-Tibetans in the Chu Kingdom, let alone Qinghai-Tibetans. Lama, for many people, the appearance of the Tibetan Lama is very novel and the most eye-catching.
Qining secretly thought that there should be six or seven people in Gongzhaxi's group, but only half of them arrived today. Are the others searching elsewhere in the city, or do they have other things to do and have not come to Xiangyang
Gongzhaxi obviously did not want to conflict with the Shenhou Mansion, and said: "We will not cause trouble, but we will not be humiliated by anyone who provokes us. You are officials of the Chu State. As long as we take the things, we will leave here immediately and return to Qinghai-Tibet .”
Ximen Zhanying asked curiously: "Retrieve something? What do you want to retrieve?"
Cao Wei had already recovered his breath and was extremely angry. He immediately said to the side: "They are... they are spies, several brothers from the Shenhou Mansion. The Qingmu Conference is about to be held in Xiangyang. These monks came to Xiangyang. They definitely have no good intentions, we must take them back and interrogate them clearly."
Ximen Zhanying glanced at Cao Wei and said coldly: "Who is your brother? Are you from the Beggar Clan?"
Although Cao Wei's martial arts skills are not great, he has been around for many years and has some sharp eyesight. Although Ximen Zhanying is dressed in men's clothing and even deliberately tied her chest to prevent her breasts from standing out, her waist is slender and her waist is thin. Men are very different. The belt around the waist is tightened, making it appear slimmer. It also makes the buttocks arch backwards, tightening the clothes behind the buttocks, forming a round and plump outline.
Cao Wei had already seen that Ximen Zhanying was a woman disguised as a man, but naturally he didn't dare to reveal it at this time. Looking at Ximen Zhanying's pretty face with a cold face, he hurriedly said: "Yes, I'm Cao Wei, the helmsman of the Beggar Clan!"
"Cao Wei?" Ximen Zhanying thought for a moment, nodded and said, "You are the helmsman of the Fire Monkey Branch!"
When Qi Ning saw Ximen Zhanying's serious appearance, he really looked like an official interrogating prisoners, he secretly laughed inwardly, feeling that Ximen Zhanying's heroic demeanor was indeed a bit like that of a later female police officer.
She could immediately know which branch Cao Wei belonged to. It seemed that she had put a lot of effort into coming to Xiangyang this time.
"Cao Wei, why are you bringing people here in the middle of the night?" Ximen Zhanying sneered, glanced at it, and said: "The Beggar Gang is the leader of the eight gangs and sixteen factions. Are you going to be the first to break the rules?"
Cao Wei saw Ximen Zhanying's eyebrows raised, as cold as ice. He liked women. Seeing Ximen Zhanying's hot figure, he still felt a little erotic in his heart. At this time, Ximen Zhanying's cold voice made him immediately think of the thorny rose in front of him. But the people from the Shenhou Mansion hurriedly said: "No, no, our Beggar Gang also has the responsibility to protect our family and the country. When we arrived in Xiangyang, I thought that spies from other countries might sneak in, so... so I sent people to watch secretly. Let’s see if any bad guys show up.”
"Oh?" Ximen Zhanying sneered, "That's really hard on you."
Cao Wei heard the sarcasm in her words and didn't dare to care. He raised his hand and pointed at Lord Vulcan and said: "These people are sneaky and not good people. Let's come and investigate."
Senior Brother Lan suddenly smiled and said, "Captain Cao, do you think we are fools?"
Cao Wei was startled and frowned: "What do you mean by this?"
"I'm not saying that they are not suspicious." Senior Brother Lan said calmly: "It's just that you said you came here tonight to inquire about the spies. Don't you think we are fools? The roads around here are blocked by Beggar Clan disciples. You If you bring a group of people to break into this place, how can we believe that you are just here to inquire about information?"
Cao Wei said: "That's the truth. If you don't believe it, I have nothing to do."
"After the leader of the Beggar Clan passed away, the people of the Beggar Clan became less and less ignorant of the rules." Senior Brother Lan sighed: "Master Cao, you said they were spies, so we naturally have to investigate clearly, but... you You are going to come with us tonight, and of course we have to investigate what your intentions are tonight."
Cao Wei's face changed slightly, and he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. The Qingmu Conference will be held tomorrow, and I have to attend the conference. I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you tonight."
"It's not up to you." Ximen Zhanying put his hand on his waist and saber: "You have to go even if you go, and you have to go even if you don't."
"Oh?" Cao Wei took a step back and sneered: "Does the Shenhou Mansion want to arrest people by force? The Shenhou Mansion wants to arrest people, and it also needs evidence. Is it just a guess, and will it arrest good people randomly?" He raised his hand and pointed at the fire. The Lord Shen said: "You'd better find out where they come from."
Ximen Zhanying snorted coldly, looked at Lord Vulcan, and saw Lord Vulcan's eyes looking at him with sharp eyes. Ximen Zhanying felt a chill on his body, but took two steps forward and asked, "Which sect are you from?" group?"
Lord Vulcan was not an eloquent person. He moved his lips slightly but did not speak. At this moment, he heard a voice saying: "We have no affiliation, we are just visiting friends." In the words, I saw A person came out from behind Beitang Feng. Qining could see clearly that at the critical moment, it was Beitang Yu who finally came out of the house.
"Visiting a friend?" Ximen Zhanying was startled, "Visiting what kind of friend?"
Beitang Yu took a few steps forward, bowed his hands to the people in the Shenhou Mansion, looked at Gongzhaxi, and said with a smile: "The things the master wants are indeed in our hands, but they are too precious, so we put them in a proper place." This place, now that things have come to this, we should return it."
Gongzhaxi was stunned and asked, "Are you serious about returning it?"
"It belongs to all the masters, and it is natural that it should return to its original owner." Beitang Yu said with a smile.
Qi Ning secretly thought that the white clam was clearly his, why would Beitang Yu say it was in his hands? As soon as my mind turned around, I immediately understood.
Others don't know Beitang Yu's identity, but Gong Zhaxi and his party know that they are envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty. Once Gong Zhaxi exposes their identities on the spot, there will definitely be a fight. Even if Beitang Yu and others can break out of here, But it is almost impossible to escape from Xiangyang City.
Bei Tangyu claimed that the things were in their hands and claimed that they could be returned, just like giving Gongzashi a reminder to be careful what he said.
After all, once Gongzhaxi exposes the identity of these people in the Northern Han Dynasty, Beitang Yu and others will inevitably be unable to escape, and the white clams that Gongzhaxi wants to find will naturally no longer be available.
Of course Gongzhaxi is not a fool, and he naturally understands Beitang Yu's deep meaning, but for him, the biggest thing in the world cannot compare to the white clam. As long as he gets the white clam back, he will not be able to do it even if he has to pay for it with his own life. Half hesitation.
Beitang Yu was mature and prudent, completely different from Beitang Feng. Although Gongzhaxi hated Beitang Feng deeply, he did not have much hatred for Beitang Yu. He nodded and said: "You guys have one thing to say, a gentleman, It's hard to catch up with the horse, as long as you exchange things, we can no longer pursue everything before."
Beitang Yu said: "As a gentleman says, a horse is hard to catch. Master, don't worry. We came to Xiangyang because we just heard that the Beggar Clan was going to hold a general meeting, so we came to join in the fun. Our things are stored in a very safe place, right in Xiangyang City. It’s not far outside, I can personally accompany the master to pick it up.”
Gongzhaxi clasped his hands and said, "Well, then you'll have a hard time." He raised his hand and said, "Please!" He actually wanted Beitang Yu to follow him immediately.
Ximen Zhanying and others looked confused. The two of them were saying something to each other, but she couldn't understand what they meant at all. She frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Beitang Yu smiled and said, "This is our private matter. Does the Shenhou Mansion also want to get involved?"
Although the Shenhou Mansion has the authority to intervene in Jianghu affairs, it is not able to intervene in everything. The Shenhou Mansion has reached an agreement with various sects in the past. Unless the agreement is broken, even the people from the Shenhou Mansion cannot It embarrasses people in the world, not to mention their personal affairs.
Senior Brother Lan has already spoken: "In times of emergency, the Shenhou Mansion is responsible for maintaining order. These masters came from Qinghai and Tibet, and they came to Xiangyang at the right time. We must find out what happened to these masters." The purpose of coming to Chu State. These masters are still unable to leave. After they come back with us, they will make things clear and we will never be in trouble."
Gongzhaxi only wanted to get the white clam back as soon as possible, and he didn't care about anything else. He shook his head and said, "The old monk won't follow you. We have to get something back." Xiang Beitangyu said, "Let's leave now, don't delay."
Ximen Zhanying has been staying in Shenhou Mansion for many years. He has always known that people from various sects in the world have always respected Shenhou Mansion. He has never seen anyone ignore the existence of Shenhou Mansion so much. There was a "choking" sound. , had already drawn his saber, raised his beautiful eyebrows, and said in a cold voice: "This is Chu State, not Qinghai-Tibet. You can't come and leave whenever you want. You can't go anywhere until things are cleared up."
Bei Tangyu gave a bitter smile and said: "Master, I would rather go with you to retrieve the things now, but it's a pity... The people in the Shenhou Mansion are performing official duties, and I'm afraid they won't let us leave."
