It was almost dark at this time. Before it got completely dark, someone came from the palace. But it was not King Mu himself who came, but three ministers sent by King Mu. After the ministers arrived, they first bowed to Fei Qing and saluted. , and then ask about the cause and process of the matter.
"Why doesn't King Mu himself come over?" Wu Dongfang was confused.
"The previous Wood King is dead, and the new Wood King is in power now. It was not his wife or his mother who died, so he won't come." The prince said casually, and his attention was always on Wu Dongfang's side. On the wine jar.
"Drink." Wu Dongfang smashed the mud seal of one of the wine jars.
"Will drinking now cause trouble?" The prince sniffed and inhaled the smell of alcohol.
"Nothing will happen tonight." Wu Dongfang said. Fei Lu must have got the news now. Although Fei Qing did not notify the Tu tribe immediately, the Tu tribe's heavenly master will definitely go back and tell Yun Ping and others what happened here. Neither Yunping nor Fei Lu will act rashly now. If he is killed at this time, it will undoubtedly tell the world that the Tu people are the despicable behind-the-scenes manipulators and Fei Lu is the imposter puppet. They should all be here now Think about how to "reasonably" confuse right and wrong.
"I'm a little thirsty, so I'll take a few sips." The prince put his head into the wine jar.
The ministers sent by the palace inquired about the situation and sat down on one side of the square. Not to mention them, not even King Mu himself could handle this difficult matter. Their role was just official bystanders.
After dark, fire pots were lit around the square, and wizards from the Mu tribe in the capital came in droves, in twos and threes. There were more wizards from the Mu tribe than from the Jin tribe. There were more than a hundred people living in the capital alone, wearing There were twelve purple-robed heavenly masters, including Fei Qing. After the wizards arrived, they were divided into two camps, the north and the south. The older wizards all sat in the north, closer to Fei Qing. The Young People's sect sat in the south, far away from Fei Qing. In terms of numbers, the Young People's sect had the advantage, with 70 or 80 people. But the Celestial Masters still accounted for the majority of the old ones, with seven sitting behind Fei Qing. The Young Masters who opposed them only had four Celestial Masters wearing purple robes.
At 1st o'clock in the evening, Fei Lu still didn't show up. The long wait greatly reduced the enthusiasm of the onlookers, and they gradually left the square. It was time to eat and sleep. By midnight, there were only less than a thousand people left around the square. People.
The prince drank too much and fell asleep. Wu Dongfang also lay down and concentrated on thinking about what might happen tomorrow. According to common sense, the Tu people would not come with Fei Lu because they had to avoid suspicion, so Fei Lu was more likely to come first. , Fei Lu will definitely not be able to sleep tonight. He is under much greater pressure than the Tu tribe. Fei Mu is dead, and there is no proof of his death. The Tu tribe can refuse to admit it. Without evidence, it cannot be proved that they were behind the scenes.
But Fei Lu couldn't do it. Fei Lu had to find ways to prove that he was Fei Mu. Tomorrow Fei Lu would definitely produce a lot of evidence to prove his identity, and he would need to produce evidence to confront Fei Lu. To put it bluntly, tomorrow would be a court case. There is no great benefit to winning, but once you lose, you will die without a burial place.
What he was thinking about at this time was what evidence he would produce tomorrow to prove that Fei Lu was the fake Qinglong Celestial Master. After calming down, he realized that he had no conclusive evidence. Only he understood the words Fei Mu wrote on the linen and could not be used as evidence. . But other than that, he had no other way to expose Fei Lu. When Fei Mu sent him out, he just wanted him to come over and tell Fei Qing the truth about the matter, and then Fei Qing would help him connect the five meridians. In return, he would return after he was done. When the Mu tribe killed Fei Lu, Fei Mu didn't want to expose Fei Lu immediately, so he didn't provide him with too many clues. He didn't even mention Fei Lu at all. He still heard it from Yaomiao's mouth. of this name.
There is no evidence, no evidence at all. Once the confrontation begins, he will immediately be at a disadvantage.
After thinking about it, Wu Dongfang sighed. The only thing he hopes now is that reinforcements from the Jin tribe can arrive before Fei Lu arrives. As long as the Jin tribe comes over to prove his identity, the White Tiger Celestial Master of the Jin tribe will not miss him. Those who came to the Mu Clan to frame good people for no reason, so that they would not lose their lives even if the evidence failed.
Early the next morning, Wu Dongfang woke up, turned over and sat up. At this time, there were only a few hundred people left around the square. Several ministers sent by the palace were quite old and were exhausted after staying up all night. Fei Qing was still sitting there. Sit not far away and meditate with your eyes closed.
Seeing Fei Qing, Wu Dongfang's psychological pressure became even greater. If Fei Lu could not be proven today to be the fake Qinglong Celestial Master, Fei Lu could punish Fei Qing openly and openly, because Fei Qing's previous words and attitude undoubtedly transcended the hierarchy. .
After the sun rose, there were more people. The prince woke up, stretched and ran to the north. A young wizard sitting in the south shouted loudly, "Stop that fox."
As soon as the wizard shouted, the surrounding soldiers immediately raised their spears.
The prince did not stop and ran directly towards the soldiers. When he got close, he peed and then pooped. After pooping, he turned around and ran back. "You were the ones who wanted to stop me, not me who wanted to be here."
After the prince finished speaking, the crowd burst into laughter, and the young wizard who spoke earlier was greatly embarrassed.
The prince ran to Wu Dongfang and sat down, "It's dawn, and the opponent is coming soon."
Wu Dongfang nodded. Yesterday, the Mu tribe sent out birds in the evening. If his current location were in modern times, he should be in Jinan, Shandong, while the Jin tribe was in southwest Yunnan. The distance between the two places is at least five thousand miles. , the birds definitely cannot fly as fast as planes, and it is estimated that they have just arrived at the Jin tribe at this time. If the Jin tribe gets the news and sets off immediately, they will not arrive until two or three o'clock in the afternoon at the earliest.
"Master Qingtian, when will the birds heading to the Tu tribe leave?" A low-level wizard walked up to Fei Qing and asked.
"Go." Fei Qing nodded, opened his eyes after nodding, and turned to look at Wu Dongfang.
Wu Dongfang had no actual evidence to prove that Fei Lu was the fake Qinglong Celestial Master, and there was anxiety and uneasiness in his eyes. Fei Qing nodded at him and told him not to be nervous.
Seeing that there was no blame or complaint from the other party, Wu Dongfang felt even more uneasy. According to the two's original plan, this matter was to continue to be concealed. He had made the truth public in advance, and Fei Qing was definitely not ready.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, the crowd of onlookers exclaimed. Wu Dongfang followed everyone's gaze to the east and saw a figure appearing in the eastern sky. Under the figure's feet was a thick vine, which towered into the clouds and swayed in the wind. , after moving a few miles westward, a vine rose again on the ground, caught the person and sent him westward again. The speed of this movement method is far inferior to that of the Fire Clan's Red Flame Dance and the Jin Clan's Storm and Thunder, but both of them are There is no freedom and calmness.
Arriving above the city, Wu Dongfang saw the appearance of this man clearly. This man was exactly the same as Fei Mu. He was thin, with white beard and hair. He was wearing a purple robe. The robe he wore was similar to that of other Mu clan members. The Heavenly Master's robe is different. The front of the purple robe is embroidered with a green dragon with probing claws.
The last vine grew outside the city and sent the man over the square. Seeing this, everyone in the square knelt down. All the wizards except the Celestial Master also knelt down and shouted, "Welcome to the Qinglong Celestial Master." .”
The vines receded, and Fei Lu floated to the ground, smiling and raising his hand, "Return the gift."
Seeing this, Wu Dongfang secretly thought, "It's terrible. He is not afraid of yelling bad guys, nor is he afraid of ferocious and brutal bad guys. The most difficult thing to deal with is the very amiable bad guy. This is the ultimate bad guy, the same type as Yun Ping."
Fei Lu landed and everyone stood up. There was silence in the audience, and everyone's eyes were focused on Fei Lu.
Fei Lu looked around at everyone with a smile, and then moved his gaze to the field. He looked at Fei Qing with a smile, then at Wu Dongfang, and even at the prince beside him with a smile.
"I was in retreat yesterday, and I just got the news this morning. I heard that there was a conflict between the Tu tribe wizard and the Jin tribe wizard from our Mu tribe. I came back specifically to take a look," Fei Lu said.
After Fei Lu finished speaking, no one answered, and no one else could answer his words. After a short pause, he said again, "The Mu people have simple folk customs, are benevolent and non-controversial, friendly to the world, and harmonious to their neighbors. No matter what grudges or grudges there are, As long as we reach the realm of the Wood Clan, we should try our best to mediate and resolve the issue, and even if the resolution fails, we should protect the weak."
After Fei Lu finished speaking, the people cheered. Wu Dongfang secretly complained that Fei Lu's words were too "patterned". He exposed Fei Lu yesterday, but Fei Lu wanted to protect him today. Comparing the two, he immediately became Villain.
"Is this young man a wizard from the Jin tribe?" Fei Lu asked Wu Dongfang.
"Yes, I am the wizard of the Jin tribe." Wu Dongfang replied loudly.
"Can you tell me what happened yesterday?" Fei Lu asked with a smile.
"The wizard of the Jin clan has not come, so I won't say anything." Wu Dongfang said that the current situation is extremely unfavorable to him. If he fails to deal with it carefully, he will be shattered to pieces. The only thing he can do now is to delay time and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Fei Lu nodded and turned to Fei Qing, "Third Senior Brother, I heard Feilin say something about what happened yesterday. It involves my reputation. I should avoid suspicion. You will be the one to take charge of the matter. I will go first." The palace has seen King Mu, and after the wizards from the Jin and Tu tribes arrive, you can send someone to inform me."
Fei Qing nodded expressionlessly.
Fei Lu turned around and walked west. The soldiers and the people hurriedly gave way. When he walked among the soldiers and people, Fei Lu turned around and rushed to the scene. The wizard said seriously, "This young man may have been deceived by a traitor. Protect him and prevent the traitor from doing anything." The bird did everything it could to hide itself, and when the Jin clan wizard arrives, we and the Jin clan will find out the real culprit."
The wizards responded loudly, and Fei Lu turned and left.
"This old guy is too powerful, you are no match for him." The prince tilted his head and looked at Wu Dongfang.
Wu Dongfang frowned and nodded. Everyone can speak, but a fool may not be able to express one thing clearly in a hundred words, but a smart person can achieve multiple purposes at the same time. Fei Lu's words hinted this matter to the people. It was a conspiracy by the Tu people against him. In this way, he would draw a clear line with the Tu people. In the future, the people would not believe the bad things the Tu people said about him. The reason why he dared to draw a clear line with the Tu tribe was because Fei Mu was dead and the Tu tribe had nothing to threaten him.
In addition, Fei Lu's implication is that what he said yesterday was deceived and misled by the Tu people. As long as he does not insist on continuing to expose it, he is a victim who has no intention of false accusation and has not done bad things intentionally. The clan will not embarrass him. If he continues to insist on what he said yesterday, he is not a victim being exploited by the Tu people. If his testimony fails, he will have to bear the consequences of his frame-up.
Cunning, so cunning...
