Chapter 724 Prologue (V)
Half an hour later, in a bright and quiet room.
All the noise was blocked out and the whole room was silent.
Landscape brocade screens, crystal bead curtains, bright yellow brocade mantles with flying dragons and clouds, and vermilion lacquered sandalwood tables and chairs carved with phoenixes.
The furnishings in the house are simple and elegant, showing everywhere the extraordinary spending of the owner of this house.
The incense burner in the corner was half full of agarwood, and a wisp of light white smoke slowly came out of the golden beast's mouth, slowly lingering between the three figures.
Two men in black robes with serious faces.
A woman in a golden dress with a timid expression.
The three of them sat in three directions of the octagonal table, and the atmosphere was a bit like that of an interrogation.
The person being "interrogated" was undoubtedly Xu Suisui who had just woken up.
"This, this is Mr. Tang, right?"
She glanced at Tang Chen quietly and broke the silence weakly.
"I am Tang Chen, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet your Majesty."
Tang Chen bowed politely, but the black pig with an elephant trunk had already crawled at his feet, staring at Xu Suisui with its pair of black eyes.
Obviously, Tang Chen was not surprised that Xu Suisui recognized him.
Wei Changtian was certainly not surprised by this, and without further ado, he got straight to the point and asked:
"You must have heard about Chu Xianping's case, right?"
“.”
Since Tang Chen was present, Wei Changtian did not use words like "I knew it a long time ago".
Xu Suisui also understood what he meant and nodded slightly:
"Yeah, I heard that."
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you cure his puppet poison?"
"ah?"
Xu Suisui seemed to have not expected Wei Changtian to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and denied it:
"N-No! It's not me!"
"Not you?"
Wei Changtian's tone became even colder: "Then how did you know about Chu Xianping's betrayal?"
"Yes, it's about the Freemasons!"
Xu Suisui hurriedly explained, "A few days ago, the Freemasons made such a big fuss, and Senior Qin analyzed that it must be Chu who was vindicated first."
"I didn't believe it at the time, until I heard that even Song Li was arrested by you guys later, and then I thought it might be true."
"Wei Changtian, can't you just trust me for once?!"
"Believe you?"
Wei Changtian curled his lips, ignored Xu Suisui whose face was flushed, and turned to look at Tang Chen.
The latter quickly nodded slightly, which made his expression ease a little.
It seems that Chu Xianping’s betrayal should really have nothing to do with Xu Suisui.
The former was able to cure the poison, presumably not with the help of the "Jade Dew Powder", but with the Puppet Pill that he had given.
Although Wei Changtian finally figured out how Chu Xianping unlocked the Puppet Pill, he did not feel relieved at all.
If this is the case, then Chu Xianping's purpose becomes even more difficult to guess. "You really don't know anything at all?"
Wei Changtian asked again unwillingly, while Xu Suisui on the opposite side glared angrily and said nothing as if he was angry.
She didn't seem to be pretending, and she must be feeling really aggrieved.
Seeing this, Wei Changtian didn't say anything more, but just shook his head helplessly.
Since it has no direct relationship with Xu Suisui, we can only seek a breakthrough from the second direction.
After all, she and Chu Xianping have one connection, that is, the Kuilong Elder Council.
"The token of Elder Qingtai is in your hands, right?"
When he spoke again, Wei Changtian's question was so jumpy that it took Xu Suisui a long time to react.
"yes"
She lowered her head somewhat guiltily, her fingers subconsciously tangled in everything, looking like she had done something wrong.
“Yes, I stole it.”
"So what exactly do you want to do?"
Wei Changtian frowned and asked again: "How many times have the elders' meetings been held recently?"
"Hmm? Why do you ask?"
Xu Suisui's eyes suddenly widened in the middle of his speech, and he almost jumped up from his seat: "The Black Stage Elder is not you!"
“You gave the Black Stage Elder’s token to Chu Xianping?!”
“.”
Looking at Xu Suisui's excited expression, Wei Changtian didn't say yes or no, which was considered as his tacit agreement with this statement.
Xu Suisui was stunned as if struck by lightning, and his face gradually turned from red to white.
It is obvious that there is definitely some big secret hidden in the Kuilong Elder Council, which may be closely related to Chu Xianping's betrayal.
"Mr. Tang, please go out first."
Waving his hand at Tang Chen who was full of doubt, Wei Changtian felt that the fewer people who knew about what he and Xu Suisui were going to say next, the better.
"yes"
After hesitating for a moment, Tang Chen quickly stood up and walked out of the quiet room.
After he had been gone for dozens of breaths, Wei Changtian looked at Xu Suisui, who was still trembling slightly, and said slowly: "No matter what happened before, or whether you think you have done something wrong, there is no point in regretting it now."
"Now that Tang Chen has left, I will ask questions and you answer them."
"Don't you always complain that I don't believe you?"
"Okay, then no matter what you say tonight, I will believe you."
"No matter what is going to happen, we can work it out together. I think we can always solve it."
"Is it okay?"
“.”
The incense was lingering, and Wei Changtian's voice was not loud, but it hit Xu Suisui's heart like a heavy hammer.
With red eyes, she looked at Wei Changtian opposite her, remembering the day when she was diagnosed with cancer in her previous life, there was also a man who comforted her in the same way.
Nannan, no matter what disease you have, we can definitely cure it.
“.”
Xu Suisui felt a lump in his throat and suddenly felt useless, but at the same time, a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart.
"Um"
Slowly wiping the tears from her face, she suddenly smiled brightly.
"Comrade Wei! Ask!"
Dahui Dynasty, Beizhong Mountain.
Compared to the atmosphere in the Xinfeng Palace which suddenly changed from oppressive to relaxed, this high mountain where "Longchan Temple", one of the 36 famous Buddhist temples, is located, has always been in a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
Since Longchan Temple is located in Dahui, it is naturally impossible to send anyone to help Xinfeng in this war.
However, even so, since the war broke out, the entire Beizhong Mountain has been taken over by the Dahui army.
Especially in the back mountain, which is rarely visited on weekdays, there are countless guards deployed inside and outside, so it can be said that not even a fly can fly in.
As for what these people are guarding. "Huh!"
At one o'clock in the morning, more than a dozen people suddenly walked out of a cave hidden in the deep forest.
Most of these people were dressed in black, except for one who was wearing a gray robe.
After they walked out of the cave, they didn't say a word and walked along the mountain road for a while. Soon they met a group of soldiers guarding the checkpoint.
“Let him go!”
“Let him go!”
When the leader of the guards saw the token handed over by a man in black, he hurriedly ordered his men to make way.
This scene was repeated three or four times, and the dozen people finally made their way down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, a carriage had been waiting for a long time.
"Hahaha! Master Chu!"
Amidst loud laughter, a man in casual robes walked quickly towards Chu Xianping with a very enthusiastic expression.
Chu Xianping also smiled and bowed to him.
"Immortal Chu Xianping."
"Meet the King Hui."
ps: One chapter today, one chapter tomorrow, just take a day off, take a day off. Most of Xu Suisui's previous mysterious operations will be solved next, so I need to sort out the logic again.
