I saw that the man from yesterday was sleeping now. After not seeing him for a day, it felt like this man had doubled in size! His appearance has also changed, and he looks like a big weirdo.
Without any time to think, Li Li followed the Gu King's instructions, drew out his sword, and stabbed straight into the man's heart.
The moment the sword penetrated the weirdo's chest, he suddenly opened his eyes, and with a force from his whole body, Mo Li was bounced back hard.
Within a moment, this weirdo began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and blood began to appear all over his body. How disgusting.
After solving this big weirdo, the two of them did not dare to stay for a moment. Before entering the cave entrance, they saw Hou Shi surrounded by controlled villagers.
So they quickly walked into the secret room and began to search for the Insect King who was giving orders to the villagers. Finally, they found it in a secret compartment, and the two hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the cave.
Houshi is surrounded by controlled villagers, making it difficult to escape.
Zhan You walked up to him and said, "Who did I think it was? It turns out to be senior brother."
"Zhan You, do you know what you are doing now? Are you worthy of the master and his spirit in heaven?" Hou Shi decided to delay time first.
I saw Zhan You sneered, "I know exactly what I am doing now. There is no need for senior brother to remind me. Besides, that person is your master. From the moment he decided to teach you the position of Gu King, I will work with you." He severed the relationship between father and son.”
"How can you think so? Master, he also has good intentions for you." Seeing that Zhan You had not let go of this knot in his heart, Hou Shi persuaded him.
Hearing Hou Shi say this, Zhan You looked up to the sky and laughed, "Good intentions? That's for you."
"Do you know you will get retribution for doing this?" Houchuang
"Retribution? I'm not afraid. Follow my orders and beat this old man to death."
Zhan You gave the order, and the villagers moved closer to him.
Houshou had no choice but to surrender. How could he alone be able to withstand so many villagers who were under control.
After a while, Hou Shi was tied up.
"King Gu, you are here today too! After studying Gu worms for so many years, you have never tried the feeling of Gu worms in your body." As he said that, he took out a small bottle containing Gu worms from his body.
Seeing Xianyou like this, he was obviously blinded by hatred, Houhou shouted loudly, "Zhan You, don't go too far!"
As if he didn't hear it, Zhan You continued what he was doing, preparing to feed Hou Shi the poisonous worms.
At this time, only one voice was heard, "Stop!"
Before he could react, Zhan You was knocked to the ground by Mo Li's palm.
Shuo Ling also quickly took Hou Shi out of the surrounding villagers.
Stand aside and take out the Gu worm found in the secret room. Showed it to Hou Shi, "Is it this?"
"That's him." King Gu said after opening the lid and looking at it.
As he spoke, he took out a silver needle from his body and gently poked the insect king on the head. The insect king struggled inside for a few times and then stopped moving.
In an instant, the villagers fainted and fell to the ground.
Shuo Ling asked, "Why is this?"
"These villagers have been under control for too long. For a while, their bodies can't accept it, but they will get better after a while." Hou Shi explained to Shuo Ling.
At this time, Zhan You sat up from the ground and looked at Hou Shi fiercely, "Don't be happy too early!"
As he spoke, Zhan You took out his bamboo flute and started playing.
Of course Hou Fu knew why Zhan You acted like this! He wanted to use the sound of the flute to control the nightmare Gu and call the weirdo out.
After a while, Zhan You realized something was wrong and yelled like crazy, "Houshi, you... you... you actually let them kill the nightmare Gu that I worked so hard to grow!"
"So what? This nightmare Gu should not have appeared in the world." Hou Shi looked at Zhan You.
Then he said, "Now you have violated the sect rules. According to Article 18 of the sect rules, anyone who secretly learns forbidden books will die!"
Seeing the unrepentant Zhan You, Hou Shi was helpless. In order to prevent more people from being harmed in the future, Hou Shi closed his eyes and recited silently, Master, I'm sorry, my apprentice failed to take care of his junior brother.
Hou Shi thought, turned around and pulled out the sword from Mo Li's body. Walk towards Zhan You.
At this time, Zhan You became frightened and backed away, "Senior brother, even if you don't care about your fellow disciples, you still have to care about your master's face, right?"
"If the master were still alive, he would definitely get rid of this traitor like you." Hou Shi said, then stabbed Zhan You.
It was seen that the two of them were about the same skill, and now Li Mo Li said to Shuo Ling, "Master Hou, do you want me to help King Gu?"
"No, this matter is their Wu Gu City matter. It's better to let him solve it by himself." Shuo Ling replied.
Seeing that Zhan You was at a disadvantage and was stabbed in the arm by Hou Shi's sword, he was about to be unable to resist, when seven or eight men in black appeared from the side.
One person rescued Zhan You, and the remaining man in black attacked Hou Shi.
When Mo Li saw this, he also joined the battle.
Seeing that the men in black and Zhan You were about to disappear, Shuo Ling quickly sent a signal to the sky and asked General Li to lead troops into the village to deal with these men in black.
Shuo Ling motioned for Mo Li to resist first. , he chased in the direction of the man in black who took Zhan You away.
Following the blood trail, I saw the man in black putting Zhan You on a carriage and walking towards the outside of the wall!
Could this matter be related to Xiling? Thinking of the weird man in the dungeon, Shuo Ling couldn't help but feel shocked. If Xiling was really instigating this matter, if Zhan You raised a large number of nightmare Gu, the consequences could be imagined. It seemed that he would find time to go to Xiling to test it out. .
Shuo Ling returned to the Temple Village. It was already dawn. The villagers who had been poisoned all woke up, but they were still very weak. General Li's men helped to send these people back to their homes.
When Li Qiye saw him coming back, he stepped forward and asked, "How's it going?"
Shuo Ling shook his head, and then Shuo Ling asked, "Have you caught the man in black?"
"I caught two of them, but as soon as I asked, the two of them bit their tongues and committed suicide." Li Li replied.
"Bite your tongue and kill yourself?"
Shuo Ling was thoughtful. It seemed that this matter needed to be investigated as soon as possible.
After everything was arranged, General Li counted the number of troops and prepared to leave.
Seeing them about to leave, the villagers looked worried again.
At this time, someone expressed their worries, "King Gu, if this wizard is not caught, will he return to the village again as soon as you leave?"
"Don't worry, everyone. This wizard has been seriously injured and won't dare to come out for a while. As long as I find his traces, I will take him back to Wu Gu City and accept punishment. Everyone can live in peace." Hou Hou. Shi walked up to the villagers and said.
After hearing King Gu say this, the villagers relaxed a little.
The villagers thanked them one after another!
He sent them to the gate of Paradise City and saw them all entering the city before returning.
"After these days of hard work, I can finally have a good night's rest." Li Li said from the side.
Looking at his Marquis, what do you think his Marquis is thinking about
"Go buy a carriage and leave it at the door of Mr. He's mansion." Shuo Ling did not answer, but directly ordered Mo Li.
At this moment, Li Li was confused as to why a carriage was needed, but he still responded, "I'll do it right away."
Shuo Ling decided to prepare some generous gifts, and in the name of the envoy of Dongling Kingdom, he went to find out what King Xiling had said.
As for these generous gifts! It's definitely too late to buy now. I'm sure Mr. He will have collected a lot of rare things during his years in the frontier!
When they arrived at He Mansion, Shuo Ling said directly to He Zhang, "Tomorrow I am going to visit King Xiling. I came from the imperial city in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me. I can't go empty-handed!"
"Master Hou, don't worry about this. Just leave it to the lower officials." He Zhang was also a smart man, so he naturally knew what Shuo Ling was going to say.
Shuo Ling nodded, "Okay, put the prepared things on the carriage outside."
"Yes, I obey my orders!" He Zhang responded.
With that said, he asked people to go and prepare.
He Zhang's heart was bleeding as he watched his servants deliver the things he had collected over the years to the carriage prepared by Li Li.
Seeing He Zhang's expression, Mo Li couldn't help but understand that this was what his Marquis had planned.
Early the next morning, Shuo Ling borrowed some people from General Li and asked him to carry the things that He Zhang had prepared yesterday, and then walked toward the Xiling Imperial City in a mighty manner.
After a few days, they finally arrived at Xiling Imperial City. As soon as they settled down, Shuo Ling wrote a note of visit and asked Mo Li to send it to the embassy.
Emperor Lankuo of Xiling held a feast after learning about it and was very enthusiastic about Shuoling.
After the banquet, Shuo Ling asked tentatively, "Does the King of Xiling know about the disappearance of the frontier fortress?"
"The disappearance has been heard for a long time. The officers and soldiers near the border fortress caught two suspicious people two days ago. The local officials interrogated the two people. After questioning, they found out that these two people were related to the disappearance. The local officials felt that this matter It was so important that they sent people to escort the two of them to the imperial city overnight." I saw Lan Kuo say.
Shuo Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, "So, these two people are in the palace now?"
"Yes, the disappearance of the border fortress people also gave me a headache. I was afraid that it would affect the relations between you and us, so I detained these two people alone. I was about to go to the Tangling border fortress officials, but I didn't expect Master Shuo to come. ." Lan Kuo said to Shuo Ling sincerely.
Shuo Ling followed his words and asked, "Now can we tell who is behind this?"
"Not yet, but I have been sending people to interrogate. Now that people from Dongling are here, I will hand these two people over to you." Looking at Lankuo, he was anxious to clear the matter from him.
He wanted to see what kind of medicine the Xiling King was selling in his gourd, "That's fine, then I'll bother the Xiling King."
Shuoling followed Lankuo to the place where the two of them were detained.
Unexpectedly, when I entered, I saw that the guards were handling two bloody corpses.
Upon seeing this, Lan Kuo hurriedly stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Didn't I ask you to interrogate them properly? Why are people dead now?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, we were interrogating, but these two people took advantage of us not paying attention and bumped into the wall. I... we..." Hearing Lan Kuo's anger, the guard was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down. He said tremblingly.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by an angry Lan Kuo. Lan Kuo's face was full of anger at this moment and he no longer listened to the explanations of these guards. "They can't even do this well. Someone, come someone, put them Pull it down and behead it immediately!"
