Naturally, when an artifact goes missing, it is not the time to shirk responsibility. The most important thing is to find out when, where, and by whom the artifact was dropped. This is the most important thing at the moment, and Yuwen Tuo, who has been keeping the demon refining pot, is naturally the key to all these events.
As Yuwen Tuo continued to dig into his memory, a small incident was recalled in his mind. Just three months ago, he withdrew the four generals sent to the Nanling Ghost Cave. After all, although it was just a pretense to attract the attention of outsiders, three months was long enough.
But on the third night after he withdrew his troops, although the two major forces, Taishi Mansion and Princess Mansion, had been tit for tat, Yuwen Tuo, who was close to Dugu Ningke, received a banquet invitation from the other party.
It was this banquet invitation that became the most likely time to lose two artifacts in half a year.
It was impossible for Yuwen Tuo not to drink at all during the entire banquet, but with Yuwen Tuo's drinking capacity and self-control, he naturally knew how much he should drink. Things developed at the beginning as he expected. Although many people toasted and persuaded him, but under his control The actual amount of wine I drank after refusing was very little.
As the banquet was coming to an end, something happened that Yuwen Tuo was ashamed to mention again. This had been his secret for the past few months, and it was also a secret that he could not mention to outsiders at all.
In the back garden of the princess's mansion, Dugu Ningke invited Yuwen Tuo here alone when the banquet was about to end. In the hazy moonlight, a burst of elegant and plaintive piano music sounded throughout the back garden. The music contained the girl's infinite sadness and resentment. The person who played this music was so skilled that even Yuwen Tuo, who had experienced court piano masters, The people were also amazed.
When Yuwen Tuo walked into the source of the music and took a look, he found that the person playing the music was Dugu Ningke who invited him. Dugu Ningke was now wearing a green gauze, which looked particularly gorgeous in the moonlight, and the most touching thing was her pair of affectionate eyes. The moment Yuwen Tuo appeared, she met his eyes, and the meaning in her eyes was Even if Yu Wentuo is a fool, he can understand the love of love.
During the Sui Dynasty, most people got married early, especially women. Many people made arrangements with a certain family as early as birth. As for Yang Guang's niece like Dugu Ningke, although it cannot be said that she cannot make the decision on her own marriage, she should start to arrange it when she is 12 or 3 years old. How does it look like that at the age of 16 or 7, he still lives alone and doesn't want anyone.
The same person as Dugu Ningke is Yuwen Tuo. Yuwen Tuo is ten years older than Dugu Ningke. He has a prominent status and is the most powerful person in the dynasty. He can be said to be less than one person and more than ten thousand people. He also has no important There is no news of marriage, and there is no scandal at all. She has been alone all the time.
Two equally lonely people meet at this moment, as if it was God's arrangement. The emotions that had been suppressed for ten years broke out at this moment.
"Master Yuwen spent the entire banquet drinking alone, but I didn't entertain you well here?"
After the song was finished, Dugu Ningke opened his eyes, looked at Yuwen Tuo who was still in a daze and asked.
"No, the princess is overly worried. I just don't like this kind of atmosphere. It's getting late. If the princess has nothing else to do, I can just resign!"
Perhaps he realized that it was inappropriate for the two of them to meet here alone, but Yuwen Tuo was not ready to accept this sudden feeling, so he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Please stay, I have prepared a good wine. I hope to drink it with the Grand Master. Please don't refuse, Grand Master!"
I saw a bottle of wine placed on the table where Dugu Ningke was playing the piano. The bottle was in a simple style and looked a bit old.
"This wine is called [Wen Xin]. It is not intoxicating. It is carefully prepared by the people in my house. It is a rare good wine in the world. I wonder if I have such an honor to drink this wine with the Grand Master?"
Dugu Ningke picked up the wine bottle and came to Yuwen Tuo with two wine glasses. And this was the beginning of Yuwen Tuo losing consciousness. From the moment he drank the [Wenxin] wine, although he was not drunk physically, his mind was completely drunk.
That night he had the dream of Wushan Yunyu for the first time, and although the face of the girl in the dream was a little blurry, Yuwen Tuo still remembered it freshly. It was the pretty face of Dugu Ningke. Yuwen Tuo did not leave the princess's mansion that night, and when he woke up the next day, Yuwen Tuo checked his body but found nothing strange.
There is no medicine left in the body, so last night's [Wenxin] wine was not drugged at all. So the only explanation is that Yuwen Tuo was drunk from just a few glasses of wine. He immediately looked at the demon refining pot on his body and found nothing wrong with it upon inspection.
This was both because he woke up in a bad state, and also because the two imitation artifacts were too similar.
Although last night's erotic dream made Yuwen Tuo very upset, when he wanted to say goodbye to Dugu Ningke in person the next day, he was told by her maid Wei Chi Yanhong that the princess was unwell and had typhoid fever and could not come to see Grand Master Yuwen off. , please don’t mind it, Grand Master.
Now that I think about it, it is indeed possible that Yuwen Tuo was stolen by Dugu Ningke that night. Yuwen Tuo only told Le Yuan and others that he was drunk. As for whether anything happened that night with Dugu Ningke, he deliberately concealed it.
"Dugu Ningke must be involved. Just a few glasses of wine can make you lose consciousness. She can secretly switch the artifact, and naturally she can kill you in your dream at the moment you are unconscious. Grand Master Yuwen, you are still a little careless!"
Le Yuan was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat when he heard that Yu Wen Tuo was drunk in the Princess's Mansion. What if any of Dugu Ning Ke's group of players were really so bold and risked offending Dugu Ning Ke to kill Yu Wen? Tuo, Le Yuan's side is really full of GGs.
Just when Le Yuan was analyzing the problem of the missing artifact, he was in the underground secret room of the princess's mansion. Ten players from the demonic camp gathered together and couldn't take their eyes away from the two magical Kongtong Seal and Fuxi Qin that were so close in front of them.
As a sniper, Mei Hansong touched the Kongtong Seal, and the obsession on his face was truly intoxicating. This Kongtong Seal may not be of much use to their players at the moment, but in reality there are countless people who want to live forever. Who knows how long their players can live in the future. This object that can make countless people immortal is a priceless treasure.
"Captain Luo, why do you think Dugu Ningke was like that? Let's take advantage of the moment when Yu Wentuo was drunk and kill him soon? Our optional task is to kill him, and the reward is still the richest. , even if it can only be obtained by one person, it’s still worth it!”
Mei Hansong's thoughts represent the vast majority of people in this team now. A group of people came to this promotion world and found that the mission was straightforward. I felt uncomfortable being assigned to the Demon Realm camp, but I just tolerated it in order to improve my strength. But now I want to kill the hostile BOSS, but my own NPC boss directly takes action to save the other BOSS. Is there anything more ridiculous than this
The so-called Captain Luo is also the leader of this promotion task team - Luo Rou. Compared with the angry expressions on other people's faces, she was much calmer. She practiced the art of charm and got a lot of good things from Yuchi Yanhong, a thousand-year-old vixen under Dugu Ningke. She gained the most from this promotion mission so far.
"What are you arguing about? Have you forgotten what our mission is? To ensure the survival of Dugu Ningke and the death of any one of Chen Jingchou, Li Shimin, and Zhang Lie; to hold one of the top ten artifacts for more than seven days; and to let the demon world The army invades Kyushu!"
"We have offended the Demon Realm's first commander who is stationed in Kyushu. Can we still stay in the Demon Realm camp? That means we will be kicked out of the promotion mission directly. We are here in vain!"
"Don't forget about small profits and great righteousness. Our most important task this time is to complete the promotion task, so it doesn't matter if we don't do any optional tasks! Besides, if Yuwen Tuo is not dead now, how can he not die after the invasion of the demon world? Then the best way to deal with him will be good time!"
Luo Rou looked like a hen training her chicks, and she trained a group of people until they couldn't even lift their heads for a long time.
Although Luo Rou's words are very reasonable, in the eyes of a group of people, they are like a man who is full and a man who is hungry does not know what he is hungry for. The [Questioning Heart] wine that made Yuwen Tuo drunk was offered by Luo Rou. For this reason, Dugu Ningke directly rewarded Luo Rou with the practice method of thaumaturgy, which is declining in the west, and even gave Luo Rou a C-level rare item, the Tai Chi Talisman. Luo Rou as a reward.
This jewelry and equipment are rare things, and the cultivation techniques are even more valuable. This makes Mei Hansong and others who have been busy running errands since entering, how can they not be jealous.
Luo Rou naturally knows this sentence clearly. Moreover, their camp is not as harmonious as imagined. In the main mission one, the mission of killing Chen Jingchou, Li Shimin, and Zhang Lie can be considered completed as long as one person is killed. But there are ten people in their group. In other words, only three of them can meet the requirements.
Among this group of people, the success rate of being promoted to level three adventurers is only 30% at most, which is still the best situation. If someone kills two, the number of promotion places will be reduced by one more.
This group of people must not only be busy with this mission, but also be wary of their partners. Whether they can become third-level adventurers is up to them.
"By the way, who are Chen Jingchou and Zhang Lie? We all know that Li Shimin is the future Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, but we have never heard of the other two guys who can be on par with him!"
Mei Hansong asked, pointing to the first main mission. Most of them had completed the second main mission with artifacts, but there was no progress in this main mission. This Li Shimin is not that easy to kill. There are a group of strange people around him who are very capable, and Li Shimin is also a good player, so it is very troublesome to kill him.
But no one knew about the other two, which resulted in a group of people hiding in the secret room under the princess.
But Luo Rou was not in a hurry. She was familiar with Yuchi Yanhong, which meant that she was familiar with Shan Xiaoxiao, another maid of Dugu Ningke. Shan Xiaoxiao can be said to be the leading intelligence expert in the entire Princess Mansion. From her, Luo Rou learned about one of them - Chen Jingchou.
With Chen Fu's assistance, Chen Jingchou had already begun to emerge and mobilized a so-called anti-Sui force. Although it was not very large, it was still a team that should not be underestimated, and all this also fell on Shan Xiaoxiao's intelligence. within the network.
