Chapter 80 Midnight Action The holy child who is poisoned. It is one of the eighteen best fortune-tellings in the bone mirror, and is as famous as [God is jealous of talented people]. Its bonus is very strange: [Holy Child with Gu Body: Spirituality +25, Charm -25, Gu Technique Qualification is full, Gu Technique Attack Power +50%, Gu and Insect Control Power +50%. ] This is a fate that allows one to master witchcraft to the highest level. But at the same time, this is also a special physique. Without the power of superior poison to help him unlock his talent, he can only be like a thousand-mile horse that has not been discovered by a good horse trainer, burying his head in the stable and living a mediocre life. This kind of fate can basically only appear in Miaojiang, which is due to the environment and background. Goryeo is located in the cold land of Liaodong. There are very few poisonous insects and plants in the territory, which makes it not suitable for the art of witchcraft at all. Even if the small country of Goryeo has secret poison techniques that are no less powerful than those passed down for thousands of years in Miaojiang, they cannot exert their full power, and there is no mentor to help him unlock his talent. and so. This dragon figure must be from Miaojiang! Then the problem comes...
What the hell is going on? Zhao Wumian had a brainstorming session. Did they change the personnel halfway? Or did the delegation collude with Miaojiang? Miaojiang has been largely pacified, so how could a [Gu Shen Sheng Tong] suddenly appear? Even if it was a Gu Shen Sheng Tong, he was only in his early twenties, how could he have the power to resist the observation of words and expressions? This group is really weird. Qi Shizhou said coldly: "What does this Lord Long want to do?" Without waiting for Long Tu to speak, Jin Chi bowed hurriedly, and the other two followed suit. Jin Chi apologized, "Please forgive me, Longtu is a young hero in our country. He is arrogant and doesn't like others to investigate him. I am also responsible for my failure to discipline him. Please forgive him for his sins." Qi Shizhou said: "Don't forget where you are standing! I don't care how arrogant you are in your own country, but in my Ming Dynasty, you must abide by the rules of the Ming Dynasty! If you dare to show hostility again, I don't mind helping you to control it!" "Yes Yes Yes……" Jin Chi nodded repeatedly: "I will follow your instructions." Qi Shizhou said, "The delegation has come thousands of miles to the court, and must be exhausted from the journey. The Crown Prince has ordered that we receive them well. The three of you should go and rest first. We have prepared a banquet in the abbey to welcome you all." "Yes." The three of them retreated slowly. Zhao Wumian suddenly said, "The three envoys, you won't walk around at will at night." "No, no." Jin Chi said cautiously: "However, we hope to have a chance to admire the majesty of the heavenly power of the upper country..." Zhao Wumian said, "Someone from the Ministry of Rites will take you around tomorrow. Since the envoy from Jinchi has said so, things will be easy. We will be there to protect you at night, so no one will disturb you. But we don't want anyone to walk around the embassy! Please let the envoy know, so you don't say I didn't warn you!" "Yes……" Jin Chi nodded respectfully, and when he turned around, a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes. Watch the three people leave.
Qi Shizhou asked: "What happened just now?" Zhao Wumian said: "I used my pupil technique to look at him, and he probably noticed it... Lao Qi, be careful, this guy called Longtu is a Gu Master." Qi Shizhou was stunned: "What did you say? Gu Master? Gao Li? Gu Master?" These two words don't even go together, okay? "It's the Miaojiang Gu Master." Zhao Wumian looked at the three people's backs and said, "These guys must have some ulterior motive!" Qi Shizhou was even more surprised: "Miaojiang? Isn't Miaojiang already..." Zhao Wumian said, "That's the weird part. They still talk about looking up to the majesty of the heaven, but these people are treating us like children! Their previous king, King Chungnyeol, was held hostage in Yuan Dadu for ten years, and later married a daughter of the former Yuan royal family. Prime Minister Cui Ying also led troops into the Central Plains to help the Yuan Dynasty suppress the rebellion. Now they are changing their attitude according to the situation, but it doesn't mean that they don't know the situation in the Central Plains. They used to rely on the power of others, but now they are so cautious, who are they doing this for?" Qi Shizhou was not an unlearned person. Once reminded, he immediately remembered: "Yes, this Cui Ying is a member of the pro-Yuan faction of Goryeo. This time he sent a goddaughter here. Either he changed his mind, or..." His face changed and he quickly picked up the roster to compare it, and indeed found something wrong. "That mermaid is his god-granddaughter, Cui Qiang!" Qi Shizhou was very alert: "What on earth are these people trying to do?!" Zhao Wumian said: "Don't think too much about it now. It looks like they will definitely take action at night. Report this to the Crown Prince, play the long game, catch the big fish, and then catch them all in one fell swoop!" Qi Shizhou nodded: "Understood!" …… Inside the State Guesthouse. A grand banquet was held to entertain the delegation. Jin Chi and the other two were sitting alone at a table. They looked cautious on the surface, but were actually communicating secretly using secret telepathy. Jin Chi said in a dissatisfied tone: "What happened just now? I told you to be careful!" Long Tu was young and knew that what he did was wrong. He said in a low voice, "It was the Gu worm. The Gu worm sensed the strange magic and reacted. It was not my intention to expose my hostility." Jin Chi was stunned, knowing that there was a reason for this, and he didn't say much: "It seems that the man is a very strong warlock." "His name is Zhao Wumian." Long Tu said solemnly: "Not only is he very strong... This person's talent in magic is comparable to that of Zhuge Wuhou of Pingnan in the past. That's why he can control the Ming Dynasty's artifact [Eight Formations of Gods and Ghosts]! It was him who performed the heaven-sacrificing magic and flooded Darima's 130,000 troops two months ago!" "..." Jin Chi and Liu Jing were dumbfounded, and they could hardly hold the chopsticks in their hands: "He, he is..." Longtu nodded seriously. Jin Chi's expression was extremely solemn: "It's bad! The Ming Kingdom actually sent him to the State Guesthouse to keep an eye on us, so that means..." Liu Jing comforted him, "Don't worry. I think his realm is not high either. I think the conditions for performing the spell are very harsh. Besides, Ming Kingdom will not let him keep the Eight Formation Diagram at his realm. Without the Eight Formation Diagram and at a low realm, even if he has unparalleled talent, it will be the same... There is an old proverb in the Central Plains, which goes, 'Without rice, it is difficult for a skilled cook to cook; without wind, it is difficult to raise a great wave.' His foundation is not good enough, so don't worry." "you're right."
Jin Chi calmed down a little, his expression firm: "Even if it's risky, we have to take it! Inform Cui Qiang, Wang Lan and the others. Everything else has been arranged. Let them act tonight and get the things out!" "Yes." …… It's night in a blink of an eye. The State Guesthouse is brightly lit. A group of Jinyiwei entered the hall to guard the place, while Zhao Wumian and Qi Shizhou drank in the lobby on the first floor of the hall. This kind of mission was indeed leisurely and even a little boring. If the delegation does not cause trouble, it would be even more enjoyable than visiting the imperial prison. After all, the environment in the imperial prison is worrying. The state guesthouse is different. Not only does it have a beautiful environment, but all kinds of wine, meat and food are also "state guest" treatment. Especially for bosses like Zhao Wumian and Qi Shizhou, they can openly "abuse their power for personal gain" and take advantage of their garrison to taste the special supplies of the famous chefs in the guesthouse. "grown ups." Bao Buyi ran in breathlessly, holding a thick document: "This is what you want." Zhao Wumian picked up a plate of cakes and handed it to him, and took the information: "This plate of crispy fire-baked bread is ordered for you, the plate of Ruyi Huilu Gan on the table is from Xuanli, and there are these two jars of forty-year-old daughter's red wine, take them all away." Bao Buyi was stunned, these two snacks were their favorites. Bao Buyi felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Sir, you still remember it." Zhao Wumian flipped through the information and said casually, "I heard you talk about it in Yunnan, and I never forgot it. Take it. It's made by the famous chef Yang Yi. This kind of opportunity is really rare." "Thank you, sir!" Bao Buyi looked at him deeply, put on his playful smile again, and ran out with two plates of snacks. Qi Shizhou on the other side said with a smile: "I never knew that our Lord Zhao is quite good at winning people's hearts." Zhao Wumian flipped through the book quickly: "It's just a piece of cake." Qi Shizhou asked: "What are you looking at?" Zhao Wumian said, "The military situation of Goryeo in the past three years. I have nothing to do, so I looked for clues. From these data, Goryeo's national situation is worrying. The powerful ministers are in power internally, and the Japanese pirates are rampant outside. Only one general, Li Chenggui, can be called the pillar. He can resist the Japanese pirates outside the country, but he is also constrained everywhere... What's interesting is that this die-hard pro-Ming faction did not send a trusted tribute girl this time. Instead, the pro-Yuan Prime Minister Cui Ying sent a goddaughter, hehe." Qi Shizhou paused while pouring the wine: "Could it be? They want to assassinate? And then completely cut off the path of Goryeo's allyship with the Ming Dynasty? And return to the Northern Yuan Dynasty?" "That shouldn't be the case." Zhao Wumian said: "Now Goryeo is surviving in the cracks, not offending either side. On the one hand, it still respects the Yuan Dynasty as its suzerain, and on the other hand, it pays tribute to the Ming Dynasty. The crime of assassination is too great, especially the fate of the previous person who conspired to assassinate the prince. The world already knows what happened. Goryeo is a small country with internal and external troubles. Even if it has ten guts, it dare not take action against the prince, but... it should have plans in this regard, and the most likely is to 'make enemies'. It will not go to the extent of sending troops to destroy the country, but it can affect the domestic trend." "Well, that makes sense." Qi Shizhou nodded: "Our current situation is not good either. The southwest has just been settled, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Western Regions are eyeing us covetously. At this time, if it weren't for the assassination of the crown prince and the emperor, there would be no need to bear the pressure from Nahachu and go on an expedition to Goryeo..." Before he could finish his words, there was a splash in the distance, and a centurion rushed into the hall to report: "Sir! No. 13, Bingzi, suddenly opened the window and jumped into the water!" ——Cui Qiang. Qi Shizhou stood up and was about to speak when another centurion rushed into the hall: "Sir! Room 12, there is a sudden glow in the room, like some kind of secret technique!" ——Wang Lan.
As expected, he took action! Zhao Wumian stood up and said, "I will follow Cui Qiang to see what she is going to do. Wang Lan will be left to you. Be careful of the three messengers, especially Longtu!" "I know." Qi Shizhou drew his sword and said, "You too." "Ah." Zhao Wumian unfolded the "Stunning Snow Steps" and rushed to the roof in a few flashes. He followed the Qinhuai River and stared at Cui Qiang's movements. She was a mermaid and could dive deep into the water. Zhao Wumian's perspective could not penetrate the several meters deep river water. He almost lost her several times, but Zhao Wumian had Xiaokui. "You're in bad luck!" Zhao Wumian blew the whistle again, and Xiaokui fell from the sky. Zhao Wumian said: "Find her." Xiao Kui's eyes suddenly lit up, like a pair of eagle eyes, penetrating the water curtain. The Jade-clawed Saker Falcon is the god of all eagles. Its eyesight is among the best among all birds known for their vision. Xiao Kui has integrated the thousand-year-old inner elixir of the Jade-clawed Saker Falcon, and naturally stimulated this power. He quickly found Cui Qiang who was diving deep at the bottom of the river, flew in the air, and showed Zhao Wumian the way. Zhao Wumian followed her through the streets and alleys and came to the northwest of the capital. ——Longjiang Shipyard! This is the Ming Dynasty's national shipyard, and everything inside is confidential. This Cui Qiang actually found this! Zhao Wumian's face changed slightly, he no longer let it go, and took action directly, slapping his palm in the air. The Bi Hai Ding Tao Palm was extremely powerful, and it turned into a huge palm print that hit the Qinhuai tributary! Since you left the State Guesthouse and sought death, we will join forces with the shipyard guards to capture you and search your soul! Cui Qiang twisted his body and was about to follow the Qinhuai tributary into the factory when suddenly a huge palm force descended from the sky! She hurriedly performed magic underwater. The mermaids are not affected by water currents and can perform their martial arts moves freely underwater. As she formed seals with her hands, she pushed out a palm, rolling up waves several feet high and confronting the palm force in the void. Suddenly, water splashed everywhere, white waves roared, and streams of water exploded in all directions! "who!" With a roar, a burly figure rushed out of the Longjiang Shipyard. After seeing the silver flying fish on Zhao Wumian's body, he fired a shot at the mermaid at the bottom of the river. The force of the spear was unparalleled. The true energy condensed at the tip of the spear, turned into a dragon and flew out. The dragon's roar resounded through the world, and it was unstoppable! "Tenglong Gun Technique"! Zhao Wumian had seen this set of spear techniques before; Zheng Yuchun had used it in Miaojiang. When I looked up at the person who performed the move, I found that I knew him - the Duke of Zheng, Chang Mao, who was at the celebration banquet in Wuying Palace! Such power made Cui Qiang's face turn pale. He immediately changed his hand seals, gathered his true energy, and the vortex rotated! "Six Waves Seal" - Flying Waves! Countless streams of water turned into water dragons and shot up into the sky. Two giant dragons collided in the air, and a heavy rain curtain fell. A brief vacuum occurred along the entire Qinhuai tributary, exposing Cui Qiang under the water. Zhao Wumian saw the opportunity, pressed his upper body down, pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, gathered strength for a moment, and was about to perform the "Xuantian Three Styles" when suddenly a deadly murderous intent came from behind! Zhao Wumian didn't think twice and immediately turned around and drew his sword. In an instant, two bright sword lights flew out of the sword. It seemed like just a moment. The sword light suddenly appeared like thunder and slashed at the assassin behind him at lightning speed! The sharp sword energy is like a streak of silk or a flying rainbow, brilliant and swift, unstoppable! The assassin suddenly rushed out from underground and slapped Zhao Wumian on the back with two palms. His moves were unfamiliar, but his palm power was really strong, not inferior to Xuantian's sword energy at all. His palms were filled with black air and were extremely poisonous! The palm force and the sword light collided violently, and the energy light burst out, like demolishing a building, crackling, crackling, shattering the doors and windows of the shops on both sides! Zhao Wumian groaned and took several steps back, shattering bricks and stones with every step! The middle stage of the third realm! This palm technique... "Thousand Corpses and Ten Thousand Poison Hands"? When the man failed in his attack, he immediately retreated and disappeared underground again. Upon closer inspection, there were poisonous insects where he disappeared underground. It was the Miaojiang Gu Array.
On the other side, Cui Qiang almost thought he was going to die. Seeing Zhao Wumian's knife slashing towards him, he immediately swung his fish tail and disappeared into the river at an extremely fast speed. "Where to run!" Chang Mao dispersed the poisonous fog, raised his spear, and continued to chase after him. "Don't chase me for now." Zhao Wumian said: "I don't know how many assassins there are. Be careful not to fall into the trap." Chang Mao turned around and looked at him: "What's going on? Are these two people in the same group?" Zhao Wumian looked at the Gu formation behind him, then looked at Cui Qiang who took the opportunity to escape, and said casually: "I can only say it's 'similar'. It's not clear yet, but there are some clues..." Also. It will be like this from now on. I will try my best to update twice a day, but I am a part-time writer and my hands are not good, so I can only try my best. Anyway, there will definitely be a two-in-one chapter on the same day, and the number of words for the rest of the time cannot be guaranteed. Please bear with me. (End of this chapter)
