Chapter 1333

"Things can't be that simple." The black-faced man sighed, shook his head and said with a look of helplessness on his face. He picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his cup, and took another sip of the wine.

"Brother, why can't you do it? Snow Mountain resolutely fights against evil spirits and crooked ways, especially vicious people like them who even harm their own people. I don't know how many people are taken advantage of by them."

The person who asked this question was the woman in white on the side. She also didn’t have a look of reluctance on her face.

"Yes, the Snow Mountain disciple has a reputation as a knight. I have met him before, don't I admire him too?" Another woman in red also said.

The other two relatively younger men looked at each other, looked at the fierce words of the two girls, and shook their heads helplessly, with a wry smile on the corners of their mouths. It seemed that they also knew the reason and understood the concerns.

The big black-faced man looked around, and his subordinates shot out another discovery to stabilize the somewhat unstable shield again, and then he spoke to them.

"Actually, even if we ask for help from the Snow Mountain, we probably won't make much progress, and may even put our lives in danger." The big man sighed again and said, as if he had endless sullenness in his heart that he couldn't vent.

"Yes, brother is right. I guess you are the only one who hasn't seen through it, otherwise you wouldn't have said that."

"What's going on, third and fourth brothers, are we wrong?" The big man in blue clothes said in confusion, and the two girls also looked at the two men.

"Third brother, fourth brother, please tell me what's going on? We're almost dying of anxiety. I haven't had a good sleep since that time." The girl in red said anxiously.

"Fifth sister, don't worry, let the elder brother explain it to you. After all, he was the one who discovered it first."

"Brother? Don't just drink and be bored, explain to us quickly." The woman in white also said anxiously

"Okay, second brother and sixth sister, listen, you still remember that we were first invited to go out of the city to meet that gentleman, but two mysterious people came, right?" The black-faced man said slowly, seeing everyone He nodded and continued.

"Although the other party wore a mask and subdued us immediately and forced us to take poison, I also discovered a detail. When we were traveling in the Bess Mountains, didn't we meet the Snow Mountain Man by chance? It turned out that I made an astonishing discovery, so I quietly told my third and fourth brothers, and they both gave me the same conclusion. The man in the bronze mask standing behind the man in the silver mask was a disciple of Xueshan."

"hiss"

The other three people all gasped when they heard this. No wonder the eldest brother didn't let them go find the people from the Snow Mountain. Originally, they were being persecuted and the people from the Snow Mountain were behind it.

"Even if that Xueshan disciple is not from here, even if we successfully transmit the disappearance into Xueshan's ears, you have also seen the opponent's energy. Maybe those Xueshan disciples can't break through here at all and return to the Snow Mountain. They will be killed by the opponent halfway. Let's borrow it. You also know how powerful that sinister man is. He subdued us almost effortlessly. Again, how can the Snow Mountain disciples here be able to rush out? Is it because we have to use our lives to cover it? It’s all in vain.”

The more the black-faced old man spoke, the deeper his frown deepened. Even he became discouraged as he spoke.

"I'm sorry, brother, I'm the one who caused everyone's fault. I didn't expect this situation to happen. It was obviously not the case at the time." Hongyi said sadly.

"It doesn't matter what happened to you. You told everyone about that, and everyone agreed. All we can say is that we are to blame for ourselves. We were blinded by the greed in front of us." The black-faced brother comforted.

"Do we really want to help the tyrants do evil?" The youngest Sixth Sister's face turned pale, and she was obviously very unwilling to do anything for them.

"Sixth sister, just like what the elder brother said at the beginning, now we can only take one step at a time. Fortunately, the other party has not given us any big tasks these days. Maybe a little earlier, we can find an opportunity to get rid of them. Control." Another thinner man said.

"Third brother, I hope you are right. These days, I haven't thought of any way, and I can't even detect the toxins planted in my body." Another slightly pudgy man said.

But everyone knows that they haven't thought of a solution for so long. Will there be a turn for the better after a while? That's just to comfort yourself.

After saying these words, they fell silent again, a sad look appeared on their faces, and they returned to their most cheerful expressions.

When Gu Zheng heard this, he already understood. No wonder the other party had something strange about him. It turned out that he had been in contact with people from the snow mountain, but Gu Zheng was sure that the blood curse on the other party must be caused by the demon clan.

It's even hard to say that the snow mountain stronghold here may have been infiltrated by the demon clan, completely blocking their chances of being discovered. Moreover, they can also know from there which people have suspicions about them. Gu Zheng should have thought of it earlier. at this point.

But now I know it's not too late. Originally, Gu Zheng planned to go and see somewhere in the afternoon, so now he plans to go later, so as not to alert others and wait for the right opportunity to go see it again.

Gu Zheng's thoughts raced a few times before he thought about everything clearly. However, these four people should not ask questions for the time being. Even Gu Zheng didn't leave a trace of marks on each other. As long as he was sure that the demon clan was in this city, he would naturally have something to do with it. If you find a way to find him, such as the snowy mountain location, you will probably gain something.

And Xu Wei had almost finished his meal quickly, and without taking a rest, he stood behind Gu Zheng, looking loyal.

Gu Zheng didn't care, and while paying attention to that side with his consciousness, he ate the food in front of him leisurely.

Unfortunately, since he said this, he seemed to be dumb all of a sudden, and didn't discuss this matter at all. He talked about some other things in a meaningless way, and couldn't provide Gu Zheng with new information. Basically, he ate the meal in silence. After a while, they walked down with gloomy faces.

Looking at the two women behind him who were dejected, it seemed that they were also in a difficult situation. The look of being forced to accept was very sympathetic.

Seeing this, Gu Zheng quickly finished his lunch and took out money for Xu Wei to pay the bill.

Soon the two set off again, but this time Gu Zheng didn't walk forward, because Xu Wei's body could obviously support it for a while at most, and this lunch time couldn't let him rest at all. He simply called a carriage and simply circled around to get familiar with the nearby terrain.

When it was dark, Gu Zheng and Xu Wei rushed back to Xu's house.

Before they entered, Wang Gui rushed up with a flattering face, flattering Gu Zheng and showing his attentiveness.

When Gu Zheng showed that he was not annoyed, he said embarrassedly, "The master ordered that when you come back, go to the living room. The master has something to tell you."

Seeing this, Gu Zheng asked Xu Wei to go back to the courtyard to tell Shuang'er and the others, and he went to the living room alone. He didn't know what Xu Jing wanted to talk to him about.

When he arrived at the living room, Xu Jing hadn't come yet, so Gu Zheng had to wait for him here.

Fortunately, Gu Zheng didn't have to wait for long. In less than an incense stick of time, Xu Jing came over with red eyes and even a haggard look on his face.

Gu Zheng was shocked. After not seeing him for just one day, he seemed to have aged a few years, and even had a lot of white hair between his temples.

"Master Xu, what's going on?" Gu Zheng stood up and asked.

"Don't mention it. Now I finally understand what the Ye family meant. It was actually a treason. But even if I tell others, they won't believe it." Xu Jing said in a tired tone, sitting on a chair beside him.

"Really? It turned out to be like this. Isn't he afraid of angering the world?" Gu Zheng deliberately said in surprise. In fact, he knew in his heart that the demon clan had been planning for so many years, and now it has progressed to this point. They support their own people to take the position, and they hide behind.

If it really succeeds, then as long as they hide well and are not discovered, no one can do anything to them, and they can enjoy it safely. Even at that time, no one dares to kill the Ye family in power, unless they start a war here.

Even so, it will take thousands of years, because this catastrophe will kill so many people, and they can't recover at all.

But now the other party has not succeeded, and there is still a chance.

These people don't know the seriousness of the matter at all, and don't know what the so-called organization that protects mankind is doing. Gu Zheng doesn't know how many times he has slandered them in his heart.

"But now there is a prince who is hosting us to celebrate his son's recovery from a serious illness, but he is also hosting the Xu family and others. He is also a key figure, and the Ye family across the street is also trying hard to win him over. I want to take you there. Didn't you say you wanted to find someone for me to take you to see more?" Xu Jing explained at this time.

"Oh, yes, when do you leave? Let's go together then." Gu Zheng just remembered what he said, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. Although he already had some news about Zhao Man, after hearing the importance of this prince, he still decided to go and see it. One more force on his side means one more hope in the end.

Those armies have already arrived, and he can't go on the field himself. The only thing he can do is to clear the evil monsters behind them for them, and for those who are still resisting for humans, break the obstacles that hinder them and let them win.

"The day after tomorrow, don't forget. We have to set off early. I will bring some juniors with me because it is said that the prince particularly worships immortals and favors a powerful immortal cultivator to be the master of his son. The immortal master also wants to accept some apprentices, so there will be a lot of people at that time." Xu Jing said briefly, frowning because of a headache.

"Okay, I won't go out these two days. Anyway, there is no rush. By the way, Master Xu, this is a pill. Take it. It will be good for you." Gu Zheng agreed directly and took out a pill. This was the scraps left by Shuang'er when she refined medicinal materials. He asked for a lot of it and prepared it specifically for mortals.

"Thank you." Xu Jing knew that the other party would not cheat him, so he raised his head and swallowed it without hesitation.

A stream of heat appeared in the middle of the abdomen and slowly flowed to all parts of the body. Zhenge's body immediately became warm.

Xu Jing suddenly found that he had been having headaches because of too many worries. Although it was relieved a lot after wearing the pearl, it was not there at all now.

Moreover, his tired body now feels full of energy. As the warm current disappears, he can still feel the remaining medicinal power repairing himself.

"I haven't had a good sleep these days. Thanks to you, I can finally have a good rest this time." Xu Jing expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

"Master Xu, no matter what, you have to take good care of yourself. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Gu Zheng bowed and left.

When he returned to his own courtyard, he didn't expect that the three of them were still waiting for them in the courtyard, which touched Gu Zheng.

"Master, you are finally back." Xiaolan ran towards Gu Zheng and said to Gu Zheng, "Sister Shuang'er said she had to wait for you to come back, and that pretty boy also stayed here for the whole afternoon. I hate it so much."

"Shuang'er, don't be so late in the future. It's normal that I may go out for a few days and not come back." Gu Zheng patted Xiaolan's head, indicating that he knew.

"I know, young master, didn't you ask Xu Wei to come back to tell us? Anyway, I don't have anything else to do, so I'm waiting for you." Shuang'er nodded gently and said softly.

"By the way, young master, you haven't eaten yet, right? I still have some food in the room. It should still be hot now. I'll bring it to you. Have some." Shuang'er said like a good wife and mother.

Gu Zheng didn't say anything, just looked at the other person, turned around and sat outside.

In the following time, Gu Zheng didn't go out, but continued to guide them to practice at home, waiting to go to the prince's house.

When Luo Wei saw Gu Zheng at home, he stayed here shamelessly, even though Xiaolan and A Shuai looked at him with contempt, he stayed here all afternoon.

At noon the next day, just after lunch, Xu Jing sent someone over and asked Gu Zheng to wait for a while and then go to the living room to gather.

After a brief explanation, Gu Zheng hurried to the living room. He didn't need to prepare anything, just follow him.

However, relatively speaking, he went a little late. In the living room, there were already a few talents in it. When they saw Gu Zheng coming in, they unconsciously glanced at their faces, knowing that he would follow too.

The prince who posted this time to invite everyone is also famous in Fengcheng. He is called "King Wei". Although he is a royal relative, he is generous by nature, has a wide range of friends, is kind and generous, and has a very good reputation in Fengcheng.

Whether it was the Ye family or the Xu family, he was willing to make friends with them all, even the wealthy merchants, and even some immortal cultivators walking in the rivers and lakes, he had many friends.

He could be said to be a typical neutral faction, and there were many people following him. So for the Xu family and the Ye family, as long as he favored one side, he could bring huge advantages to the other party.

Of course, it was only the people in the government. In order to avoid suspicion, he hardly made friends with any military officers.

When everyone gathered, Xu Jing came late from outside. What surprised Gu Zheng was that Westbrook was also in the team. You should know that he was not from the Xu family like Gu Zheng. In total, including Gu Zheng, there were five young people following behind.

However, this time Xu Jing also brought a guard of his own. He should be the strongest among the four people. It seems that he wanted to take him to see the world and see if there was any opportunity.

The palace was not in the imperial city, but also lived in the northern district. Their carriages drove for two hours before arriving in the northern district. They spared half of Fengcheng.

The buildings here are obviously different. All the buildings are mostly the same. They look awe-inspiring and very imposing. They have an official feeling and are very formal.

Because the houses here were all built by the Blue Country and are strictly divided according to the official rank. The higher the rank, the more luxurious the house.

And no one cares about arbitrary expansion, otherwise the official hat will be directly cut off.

As a royal relative, King Wei's mansion is naturally very large, and it can be said to be one of the best in the North District.

When Gu Zheng arrived at King Wei's door, he realized how powerful the other party was.

They came here early. It was still a while before dark, but now there was a lot of traffic in front of the prince's house, like a market, queuing up to enter.

However, considering Xu Jing's noble status, of course there was no need to queue up. The sharp-eyed butler came over with a smile and led the way for them personally.

"Lord Xu is here so early. The prince just mentioned you to me."

Their carriage passed the crowd and arrived in front of the prince's door. Gu Zheng saw the other side's outer door and praised it in his heart.

The height of this mansion gate is about five feet, and the width can allow seven or eight carriages to enter side by side. It is wrapped with an unknown iron sheet like brass on the outside, and there are dozens of small night pearls inlaid on it, which is very luxurious and gorgeous.

Anyway, no one dares to steal here. Not to mention the patrolling army all the time, if anyone really dares to pry it away, he will be caught within an hour.

On both sides of the steps, there is also a ferocious bronze statue, which looks like a tiger but not a tiger, lifelike and extremely powerful.

Of course, these are all superficial. There are also dozens of heavily armored personal soldiers outside to maintain order, looking at the outside with murderous intent, which makes some wealthy families look terrified and gives them the illusion that the other party will rush up and kill them the next moment.

Gu Zheng looked through the window and saw many people in gorgeous clothes greeting each other outside. Everyone seemed to be of high status. When they entered, they were discussing the Xu family in a low voice.

And in other carriages, Gu Zheng also found many young men and even immortal cultivators of varying levels. It seemed that everyone wanted to try and see if they could have a chance to get in touch with the prince.

But most of them came to congratulate the prince's son on his recovery from a serious illness.

The butler had already led Xu Jing and the others down the car, and the others followed suit. As for the gifts, the servants of the palace naturally took note of them and put them away.

Although Gu Zheng didn't know the official positions of the others, he could clearly see that everyone showed respectful smiles to Xu Jing, and it was obvious that he was the highest status here.
