Chapter 178: Dog bites dog
Liu Cheng paused a little and bowed and said:
"Old Xu, who was beside Zhou Changshi, came over to say hello to his subordinates, saying that he was helping him deliver a letter and wanted to return something, but he didn't say what it was."
Ning Wang smiled, and then he felt out of control, and tears were about to come out of laughter. Liu Cheng looked puzzled. After all, why is Ning Wang like this? He was confused.
"What's wrong with your highness?"
Ning Wang wiped the corners of his eyes, finally stopped his smile, and said with a limited look on his face:
"Zhou Ze is a man who will not suffer any losses. The Black Fire Camp was attacked. On the surface, I suffered huge losses, but in fact, the one who made the most profits and was the one who was the most depressed and angry was not me but him, Zhou Ze.
The deer king Jingzhou and his party had met Zhou Ze before. They appreciated Zhou Ze's abilities and really wanted to win over them. Therefore, they treated the wise and humble men and gave the gem dagger.
I saw that the Shadow Guard in charge of Jingzhou did not want the Deer King to recruit Zhou Ze, so I used a killer move and would destroy it if I couldn't get it.
But I didn't expect that I would recognize the wrong person and treat Wang Shier as Zhou Ze, so Zhou Ze escaped. Can he bear this tone?
The gem dagger sent by the Deer King before, I have seen and heard of it. It was a gift from the Western Zhou Dynasty, used to convey military orders and mobilize elite troops.
The King's Zhou Changshi must have sent the dagger back. King Lu knew how to let it go. At least Jingzhou still has the Shadow Guard in the southern border, which will inevitably be cleaned up.
If we don’t need to do anything, we will lose their own strength. How can I not be happy!”
Liu Cheng suddenly realized.
He had seen the dagger, and at that time he felt it was more luxurious and less useful.
Now it seems that this is not a luxury issue. It turns out that elite soldiers can be mobilized. Isn’t this a small soldier talisman?
Just Zhou Changshi's words can definitely hit the most uncomfortable part of the Deer King.
Thinking of this, Liu Cheng couldn't help but tremble his shoulders, and tried hard to lower his head and hold back his smile.
When King Ning saw it, he was even more happy.
"By the way, you said last time that Zhang Zhixiong went to Zhou Ze alone because of his senior brother's corpse. I guess he didn't get any advantage, right?"
Liu Cheng nodded.
"It's not just because I didn't take advantage. I guess Zhang Zhixiong was able to cause internal injuries. Before Zhang Zhixiong asked Zhou Changshi, Zhou Changshi took the initiative. Why did he die for several months before he came to find the corpse? What had he done long ago?
Without having to act like a kind-hearted and respectful attitude, if you want the relics, go directly to the capital to find Zhang Tianshi. If he thinks his senior brother is not dead, he will check it out by himself. Isn’t it just that he wants to get your senior brother’s weapons?"
King Ning smiled even more.
If there were people around him, they would have thought that he was a ghost. The dark-faced King Ning actually smiled like this.
"Yes, this matter is done very well. Zhou Ze is indeed a vengeful person, but have you checked that old Xu?"
Liu Cheng nodded, and his face became a little serious.
"I have checked it a long time ago. Not only him, but also the cat demon, and my subordinates have also checked it. They seem to have come to Zhou Changshi because of Xu Gongzhu, and they all come from Tianmu Mountain. However, I heard that Tianmu Mountain was destroyed and no one or one beast was spared ten miles away."
Ning Wang was stunned.
“Destroyed?”
Liu Cheng nodded.
"More than a month ago, my subordinates sent people to Tianmu Mountain. There was not even a single beast in the entire mountain range, but they really disappeared. A small sect at the foot of the mountain was empty, and there were a few tombs there, which looked very new.
Because my subordinates saw that Lao Xu’s white bone umbrella was special, they asked carefully that this was made for him by his master before his death. They were tempered with the demon pill of the demon, and everything was right.
As for Tianmu Mountain, there were deliberately left marks of the demon hunting corps everywhere. It seems that some people deliberately put this matter on the demon hunting corps, and their subordinates believed that it should be done by Maoshan School.
Zhou Changshi was easily disliked to take action. This time he suddenly agreed to investigate the family extermination case of Mianshui and involved the Maoshan faction. His subordinates believed that this was related to the family extermination of Tianmu Mountain. After all, Zhou Changshi was very good to the people around him."
King Ning suddenly realized.
Liu Cheng was a person he trained by him since childhood and was also a good assistant selected by Duke Ning Guo to him.
Ning Wang naturally believed his investigation.
"Zhou Ze is a vengeful person. Everyone around him is very protective of his calf. He has a good temperament and is real enough. Just like Xu Gongzhu, he is just a friend who has met two times.
At first, he just handled the case according to the rules, but Xu Gongzhu sent him once before leaving, but the cat demon sensed that Xu Gongzhu was injured. He was a scholar with no power to tie a chicken and could be suspected of it.
I could leave a few words to Xu Gongzhu when I died, and then everything about Zhang Zhixiong was just because of Xu Gongzhu. I appreciate this very much."
Liu Cheng sighed with envy on his face and sighed with emotion.
"The first time I talked to Zhou Changshi, when Zhang Zhixiong asked for a corpse, Zhou Changshi was angry. He spoke sharply and was very protective of his friends who had passed away. He said heartfelt words, and was very envious of his subordinates."
Liu Cheng didn't say it all.
His identity is not as good as the one in the Monster Catcher. He has no family or friends. Although he is not short of money, his responsibilities are heavy. One day he dies, few people can remember him.
I feel sad when I think about it, so I even more envious of Xu Gongzhu. It is so lucky that I will be remembered and maintained by others when I die.
King Ning raised his hand and patted Liu Cheng on the shoulder.
"Let's get up. You have been by my side since childhood. I know you naturally. I can feel that your praise for Zhou Ze is from the bottom of my heart. I also envy Xu Gongzhu for having such a friend. I am not the same as me."
Liu Cheng glanced at King Ning and quickly knelt on one knee.
Yes, it is even more so for King Ning. It is better not to have fathers and brothers.
He always planned and did not dare to relax his vigilance for a while. His mother died even more strangely. The only grandfather who loved him died, and there were many people around him, but no friends.
"It's all my subordinate's fault, which makes Your Highness sad!"
King Ning waved his hand.
"Get up, help Zhou Ze cover up the case of Mianshui family extermination. The Qingyun Temple is like a family temple. It cannot be related to the Maoshan faction, but you must be careful.
As for the Demon Hunt, you should stare at a few memorials and hand them over. At least Zhang Zhixiong can come, at least he heard some noise. No matter how the capital is dealt with, don’t make any trouble at this time. For the Shadow Guard’s affairs, let them bite their own dogs.”
Liu Cheng withdrew.
Leaving the study room, he quickly summoned people, and the order was issued only two words, watch and guard.
Staring at the Monster Hunting Office, the Shadow Guard, and the Helu Bookstore.
Strictly prevent everyone from approaching the royal palace, strictly prevent someone from reporting to the Helu Bookstore, strictly prevent the people from the Yinggu, block the city of Jingzhou, and strictly investigate the entry and exit of all people at the gate of the city.
In an instant, the dark shadows scattered everywhere.
Liu Cheng held the horizontal knife and looked at the bright moonlight. For some reason, what he thought of was Lao Xu and the white bone umbrella behind him.
................
At the same time.
Bai Yu gritted his teeth and then turned over to the horse.
Following the team, I left the military camp by the Baisha River. After riding for a while, my injuries began to become numb, and gradually the pain seemed to fade a lot.
Two hours later, I took aboard a boat while the night was shining, a typical Datang cruise ship.
I don’t know if someone was pushing it in the water, and it was extremely fast. I crossed the Baisha River without knowing it and plunged into a shore forest on the north shore.
Bai Yu was frightened. The opposite side was full of trees, and the cruise ship rushed over so straight.
He closed his eyes, thinking that Chen Jiu knew some magic skills and could pass through the mountains.
Just as the moment he closed his eyes, the boat drilled into the forest directly. It turned out that there was a dark river below. Although there was no light, the boat was still moving forward, but the speed was very slow.
Chen Jiu lit the candle at this time and took a look at the map in his hand.
"It's almost done. After passing through the dark river here, you will reach Qigong Ridge, and then you will truly enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty."
No one dared to take the blame. When he saw the bright sunshine again, he had indeed entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Bai Yu was a little stunned. He didn't expect that there would be such a route, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense. After all, Chen Jiu looked hard to meet. Although he had a smile on his face for a long time, his eyes were really terrible.
The boat was traveling very fast, and went straight upstream. It had arrived in Jingzhou City at 10:00 noon.
