Chapter 1111: Out on a mission
"Concubine Xiu, please mourn."
A guy who was a murderer at all now resumed his identity as the governor, and comforted Concubine Xiu while wearing a mask.
Although Concubine Xiu is good at acting, she is really frightened and sad at this time, after all, the mother-in-law has been with her since she was a child, no different from her relatives, which is why the other party can know so much, and now that the other party is dead, of course Concubine Xiu is sad, and there is fear, even the mother-in-law was assassinated, so what about her safety?
Fortunately, Concubine Xiu is not an ordinary weak woman, although she is sad, she still keeps calm: "The Duke has a heart, but the Duke can find out what is going on, Mother-in-law, she will never leave without permission, someone must have lured her out." ”
Wang Cheng shook his head and said, "Concubine Xiu, we Dongtianwei and the Six Gates have indeed found no signs of invading, and no one should lead her out, after all, she knows that we have many guards here, if someone sneaks in, as long as she shouts, we will all come to help, why chase her out by yourself?" ”
Everyone can't explain this concubine, but she is sure that her mother-in-law must have been led out to death, but fortunately, since her mother-in-law blew herself up, there should be no leakage of news.
On the other side, Wang Cheng pretended to hesitate for a moment and said, "Actually, there is something that should not have been told to Concubine Xiu, but since this incident has happened, I will still say it in advance to remind Concubine Xiu." ”
Concubine Xiu was surprised: "What's the matter?" ”
Wang Cheng said in a low voice: "There is a martial saint who has quietly infiltrated the national capital, his identity is unknown, his motive is unknown, it is very likely that it is related to the Demon Emperor, and he may also come to fight the idea of Concubine Xiu." ”
"Martial Saint?"
Concubine Xiu couldn't help covering her mouth, very shocked, and at this time a thought flashed in her mind, could it be that the martial saint took control of her mother-in-law, right?
At first, the reason why I thought that my mother-in-law was led out was because there were no traces of battle around, and with the cultivation of my mother-in-law's great grandmaster, it was impossible to be taken away silently, unless- the other party was a martial saint! And a very despicable sneak attack.
In this case, it should be the mother-in-law who was taken outside the city to ask for information, but the mother-in-law did not obey and finally exploded and died, but everything can be explained, but if it is really the martial saint who came in, why did it take away the mother-in-law, wouldn't it be better to take her away?
Damn, who is the Demon Emperor, and why do you keep going against her?
"It's indeed a martial saint."
Wang Cheng nodded, flicked the heat a few times with the lid of the teacup, and said, "Concubine Xiu, I said, we are our own people, if there is anything, you can tell me, I will do my best to protect you." ”
When Concubine Xiu heard this, she smiled bitterly and said, "Duke, it's not that I'm hiding it, it's just that I really don't know what's going on!" ”
"Our family naturally trusts Concubine Xiu, or that sentence, please trust me."
Wang Cheng smiled, and didn't snatch the key from Concubine Xiu's hands, because he didn't know where it was at all, and there was no need, so he said a few words and left.
When he got outside, Wang Cheng remembered that he was reprimanded by Emperor Yonghe in the palace before, in which he tried to ask Emperor Yonghe for information about Concubine Xiu's family, but was refused, which is obviously problematic, at this time, if you really want to protect Concubine Xiu's family, there is no reason not to give information, even if it is his illegitimate daughter.
"It seems that this turmoil not only involves Concubine Xiu, but also the Demon Gate, and even Emperor Yonghe, as for the matter of the crown prince and the six princes, it is a trivial matter that cannot be put on the table."
Wang Cheng shook his head, as a soul demon, as the emperor of heaven, he is the best at perceiving people's hearts, but there will be no situation where he knows who the behind-the-scenes boss is at the last moment, because most of the time, he is the behind-the-scenes boss.
Wang Cheng looked up at the sky made up of dark clouds, and sneered: "Wait a minute, let this country make a fuss first, anyway, the real thing must happen on Emperor Yonghe's birthday, I already have the information, and I can really hide in the shadows to watch the show." ”
……
As the national capital of the Ming Empire, it has always been extremely lively, but this period of time is particularly lively, you can often see a large number of people with swords pouring into the national capital, and more often see people fighting in the national capital, the famous Xianheng Restaurant in the national capital collapsed in the hands of the two grandmasters.
During this time, the Catcher and the City Guards must have been busy as dogs, not only to search for the people in the Demon Gate, but also to prevent the people in the rivers and lakes from fighting, but even if they work overtime 24 hours a day, there are no weekends, uh, in ancient times called Xiu Mu, but they still can't prevent the situation from continuing to deteriorate, more and more people from the Demon Gate come to the national capital, and this leads to more and more people in the rivers and lakes also coming in, and now the inns are basically full.
The days of the national capital are gloomy these days, perhaps it indicates the current atmosphere in the national capital, once it is night, the people dare not leave their homes at all, because there are too many fights in the night, there are people in the rivers and lakes and the devil gate, there are also people in the rivers and lakes themselves, and even the devil gate and the devil's door, in addition, there are many half-black and half-white green forest heroes, the catchers are too lazy to pay attention to it, just get up in the morning to collect the corpse.
Like the capture of Kuai and the city guards, Dong Tianwei was also busy to death, constantly investigating the information of various people who entered the city, and at the same time figuring out the purpose of the Demon Gate, figuring out who the Demon Emperor was, and tracking the mysterious martial saint, Wang Cheng didn't even have time to play the head of the stall, and directly designated another great master to be responsible for the safety of Su Fangzhai.
Now there are a lot of great grandmasters in Su Fangzhai, two from the Six Sects, two from the West Tianwei, and four from the East Tianwei, and at the same time, there are also three great masters in the righteous path, they are all here to eliminate the demon and protect the concubines, but in Wang Cheng's opinion, these guys can't find a place to live outside and come here to eat and drink.
So many great masters gathered together, and there were already many contradictions between them, so of course there were a lot of conflicts, but there were Xiufei everyone who came forward to balance, although there were a few competitions, but in general, nothing major happened.
As for Concubine Xiu, there is a new old woman by her side, who is also a great grandmaster cultivator, and her strength is stronger than the previous one, and she has been tracking down the death of the old woman before, but Wang Cheng made a move, how could she leave a flaw, naturally she didn't find anything!
It was precisely because there were many great masters in Su Fangzhai that Wang Cheng didn't bother to go over there now, anyway, from the other Dongtianwei and Black Sword, he could learn more about what was going on inside every day.
"I still haven't found any trace of the martial arts saint."
Wang Cheng put down the information in his hand and sighed secretly, he was really busy during this time, but he was more busy with his own private affairs, that is, looking for the traces of the martial arts saint, but he searched according to the appearance of the mysterious martial saint, and found nothing, even if Wang Cheng used the resources of Dongtianwei to find the vein of this person, he didn't find anything, as if this guy jumped out of the stone.
Of course, this is also because the mapping of this era is too inaccurate, plus this is ancient after all, and it is not comparable to the modern era with perfect information statistics, even so, now there is nothing to be found, it is more likely that the mysterious martial saint has discovered something, and he must usually pay attention to erasing his own information, and it is not simple to become a saint.
"Then let's have a reverse thinking, if I am a martial arts saint, I want to get what Concubine Xiu wants to plot, then what should I do?"
Wang Cheng pondered, and suddenly his eyes lit up, the key is to enter the palace, even if it is a martial saint, it is impossible to enter the palace at will under the condition of being heavily guarded, then, he must be hidden in the team that can enter the palace.
Although this range is also very wide, such as the guards, such as the team that enters the palace to perform, and even the cooks and servants in the palace, etc., however, it is obviously much better than looking for a needle in a haystack before, Wang Cheng buried himself in the investigation.
As for the increasing number of demons and righteous paths outside, Wang Cheng was not interested in paying more attention to them, although he didn't know what the demon emperor was planning, but as long as he kept an eye on Concubine Xiu, the key was enough, and the most important thing now was to find the traces of the martial arts saint.
Just as Wang Cheng was reviewing the information in this regard, someone suddenly came in outside and said, "Duke, the daughter of the god of capture is here again." ”
"Tell her that Dong Tianwei named Wang Cheng was sent to the field."
Wang Cheng didn't raise his head, and said impatiently, Zheng Xiruo, the youngest daughter of the god catcher, often came to find the identity he used to use during this time - the head of the stall Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng doesn't know how much information to deal with in a minute, how can he have time to pay attention to her, and there are too many things, isn't he afraid of the god-catching rampant?
So Wang Cheng has always sent Zheng Xiruo away, but Zheng Xiruo doesn't know if it's too idle, so he has always come to find Wang Cheng.
It is worth mentioning that Zheng Xiruo didn't know that Wang Cheng was the governor, and she didn't know that the person who collapsed the restaurant with one foot was a martial saint, at that time she told the god of hunting, and the god of hunting easily analyzed many situations, but because of her lack of knowledge, she didn't guess, she just thought that the other party was a great master who knew the will of martial arts, and thought that Wang Cheng protected her, maybe this is the reason why she has been looking for Wang Cheng.
The eunuch who came in to pay his respects smiled bitterly and said, "Duke, the daughter of the god of hunting said that he came with the official document of the god catcher. ”
"God Catcher?"
Wang Cheng frowned, no matter what, he must deal with the god catcher, and finally let the daughter of the god catcher come in, Zheng Xiruo looked around as soon as he came in, and was very disappointed not to see Wang Cheng, she was not only a talker, but also very bold, and was not afraid of Wang Cheng, the ghost-faced governor that everyone was afraid of, saluted first, and then directly took out the official document, and said: "Dugong, the god of hunting let me hand it over to you." ”
"Sit down."
Wang Cheng said coldly, took the official document, glanced at it, and immediately frowned, because the god catcher actually asked him to accompany Zheng Xiruo on a mission as the head of the stall.
As mentioned before, during this period of time, because a large number of people from the rivers and lakes and people from the Demon Gate have entered the national capital, the catchers are busy like dogs, Zheng Xiruo, the female catcher, was not frightened by the fact that she almost died before, and when she saw that her colleagues were so busy, she took the initiative to ask for help.
The problem is how dare the catchers let this eldest lady help, now many of the people who come to the capital are extremely vicious people, and many of them have died, and now they are all transferred from outside, and even let the people in the righteous path help to guard against it, if something goes wrong with Zheng Xiruo, then how can they explain to the god of hunting? So she was only allowed to deal with internal matters.
This caused Zheng Xiruo to be very dissatisfied, and kept bothering to catch gods, and catching gods was also annoyed, so he promised to let Zheng Xiruo go on a mission by himself, but of course, he couldn't let Zheng Xiruo go alone like this, so he wrote an official letter for Wang Cheng to accompany him, with Wang Cheng's cultivation as a great grandmaster, plus his scheming methods, as long as he didn't touch the martial saint, he would definitely be able to keep Zheng Xiruo safe and sound.
Of course, the god catcher didn't know, even if he met the martial saint, Wang Cheng would be fine, he knew that the martial saint didn't worry at all after he achieved the martial saint, naturally he had his hole cards.
Some people may wonder, there are so many masters in the six doors, can't they send one to act with Zheng Xiruo? The problem is that Zheng Xiruo is unwilling, she wants to go out on a mission alone, she wants to complete the task by herself, what do you mean by sending a great grandmaster by your side? Do you play with children?
At the same time, it is not good to send someone to secretly follow and protect Zheng Xiruo, the reason is very simple, the battle of the warrior is often divided in an instant, and it is really dangerous to be too far away, not to mention, the people of the Demon Gate are very despicable, in case of poison or something, it is not easy to rescue if it is far away, and if Zheng Xiruo knows, she will definitely be angry.
Therefore, Wang Cheng's disguised identity Wang Cheng is the best choice, which can not only ensure safety, but also ensure that Zheng Xiruo is satisfied.
The god catcher is obviously very doting on his youngest daughter, so he is willing to take a favor and let Wang Cheng, the governor, help once, the favor of the god catcher, it is hard to change, and the value is unimaginable.
Even for Wang Cheng, this favor is useful, not to mention that in this eventful season, maybe when he will have to use the power of the god catcher, but then again, is it really good to let his daughter get close to a eunuch? Or is it because the eunuch is relieved?
"What's more, the last time I happened to be with Zheng Xiruo, I met a martial arts saint......"
Wang Cheng's eyes flashed, and he said to Zheng Xiruo: "Although Wang Cheng is a eunuch under me, the face of the god catcher still has to be given, he can go with you, but unless necessary, he can't reveal the identity of Dong Tianwei, it can be regarded as the same as you." ”
"No problem, this time it's mainly to inquire about information, but I plan to catch them all, which shows Miss Ben's ability."
Zheng Xiruo said very excitedly when he heard this, Wang Cheng was speechless, and said: "You go to Dingnan Restaurant first, I will let Wang Cheng go there to make peace with you, but only this time, I will not take it as an example." ”
"Thank you, Duke."
Zheng Xiruo left with great joy, in fact, she didn't really have any feelings for the eunuch, it was purely a life-saving grace, not thank others for being too much, and besides, she could finally go on a mission, a real task, which undoubtedly made this fledgling girl extremely happy, after all, men and women of this age always like others to say that they have grown up.
Looking at Zheng Xiruo's back, Wang Cheng's eyes were a little deep: "Zheng Xiruo?" ”
