Chapter 322 Agou's Promise
???
Ning Yongnian? If Pei Dajun hadn't clearly pointed out the owner of this name in the last sentence, Wei Changtian would have even suspected that he had encountered some oolong with the same name.
As the second-in-command of the night watchmen, it was not surprising that Pei Dajun could recognize the emperor of the enemy country.
Therefore, if he had not deliberately passed on false information to himself, the current situation would be obvious.
Before being controlled by Yan Luo, Pei Dajun saw Bai Youheng and Ning Yongnian at the same time.
Damn it!
But why are Bai Youheng and Ning Yongnian together? Although they are both sons of heaven, one is in Dafeng and the other is in Daning, so there should be no connection between them!
Could it be that these two people have formed an alliance? What are they plotting? What are they going to do? Wei Changtian frowned and thought for a long time but still had no clue.
After all, he didn't even know when and where Ning Yongnian and Bai Youheng met, and could only speculate that all this happened before he arrived in Fengyuan.
Now, the only "eyewitness" Pei Dajun has passed away, and everything can no longer be verified.
Unless he can directly confront Bai Youheng or Ning Yongnian After taking a few deep breaths, Wei Changtian decided not to think about this matter for the time being and to kill Yan Luo according to the original plan first.
He patted his sleeves, stood up, and slowly opened the door.
"Master Wei" Several eyes immediately focused on him outside the house.
"Lord Pei is dead, please collect his body."
He first spoke to several imperial doctors, and then looked at Li Wutong.
Wei Changtian paused for a moment, and before she could ask, he said, "Princess, I didn't find out anything."
"Really?"
Li Wutong obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just hesitated for a moment before reminding him seriously: "Master Wei, Pei Dajun is a Yama spy. This is related to the reputation of the night watchman. I hope you don't tell anyone."
"We will carefully investigate whether there are other suspicious persons among the night watchmen."
"Oh, I see."
Wei Changtian nodded and agreed casually. He didn't bother to care what Li Wutong was going to do, let alone how the night watchman would "self-examine and self-correct" after such a big incident.
Anyway, he no longer expected the night watchman to be of any help to him in the matter of Yama Luo.
It would be good enough if you don't make things worse.
"Princess, there is nothing for you to do here now. I will handle it when Chu Xianping comes back."
After yawning, Wei Changtian was just about to send Li Wutong back.
However, at this moment Chu Xianping appeared in the sight of the two with a hurried look.
Huh? You're back now? Why do you look so unhappy? Could it be that you're saying "Brother Chu!"
Wei Changtian immediately stepped forward and asked with a frown, "How is it? Do you know where Old Zhang and the others are now?"
“.”
Chu Xianping did not answer immediately, but first glanced at Li Wutong with his peripheral vision. After seeing Wei Changtian nod slightly, he said in a deep voice: "Sir, Senior Zhang was ambushed in the Western Desert Gobi a few hours ago. Fortunately, he used his magical powers in time to escape, but his current whereabouts are unknown."
"Miss Agou was taken away by Senior Zhang, and most of the escorts from the Shimen Escort Agency are also safe and sound."
"only."
"Just what?"
Wei Changtian asked casually, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
It seems that Old Zhang has some real skills and even possesses a magical power that can be used to escape.
Although no one knows where they escaped to, since the assassins failed this time, they will never have another chance.
Having made up his mind not to let anything happen to Old Zhang again, Wei Changtian considered whether he should ask Qin Zhengqiu to go and bring Old Zhang and Agou back.
But at this moment, Chu Xianping's answer made his expression suddenly freeze on his face.
"Sir, Wang Biaotou is dead."
“.”
Western Desert Gobi.
In the darkness of night, the dark brown desert is rugged and uncovered. Not to mention human traces, even a flying bird cannot be seen. All you can see is darkness and desolation.
The strong wind whistled past, carrying yellow sand and crashing into the sand dunes, making a rustling sound of sand rubbing against each other.
At this moment, on the back of a small sand dune, two figures, one old and one young, were staring at each other, not knowing which way they should go next.
"Grandpa, which way should we go?"
Ah Gou had sobered up and was holding the sword in his arms. He blinked and asked, "I remember we were walking towards the moon just now. Should we walk towards the moon now as well?"
"I'm not leaving tonight."
Old Zhang was well aware of the risks of getting lost in the desert. Besides, the group of assassins must be searching for him right now, so he looked around and decided to make plans during the day tomorrow.
Agou had no objection to this. Hearing this, he lay down on the leeward slope of the sand dune and stared at the night sky in a daze.
"grandfather."
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly asked, "Is Uncle Wang dead?"
"Um."
Old Zhang didn't tell any white lies, he just nodded calmly: "He should be dead."
Agou asked again: "Did he die to protect us?"
"yes."
Old Zhang slowly sat down next to Ah Gou: "He promised your brother that he would protect us."
"Oh, I see."
Agou responded in a low voice with a sullen expression.
They had only been together for two or three days, so it was impossible to say that she and Wang Qian had a deep affection for each other.
But the little girl felt a little sad.
"Grandpa, when I grow up I will protect you too!"
Suddenly, Agou made such a promise for no apparent reason.
"Haha, you are a girl"
Old Zhang laughed twice with disdain and didn't take this sentence to heart.
But when he suddenly remembered the scene where Agou rushed towards the assassins with a sword in hand, a trace of imperceptible relief suddenly appeared on his face.
"Wait until you grow up to say this."
"Um."
Ah Gou could not sense the change in Old Zhang's mood. He just nodded and yawned softly: "Grandpa, I'm sleepy."
"If you feel tired, take a nap."
Old Zhang patted Agou's head, and after the latter fell asleep, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance where there was no sign of human life, only twinkling stars.
As he watched, the kind expression gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of dissatisfaction.
Humph! That evil disciple will surely know that he was assassinated soon.
Knowing that I was going to Fengyuan, he didn't come to pick me up in person, and he just found a few escorts to do the job. It's obvious that he doesn't care about me as his master! It's better for me to keep some skills to look after the family, otherwise I might die here today! Thinking about it this way, it seems that I am a bit of a failure as a master. Evil disciple, you wait for me!
I went to the hospital today, and after returning home I only had time to write one chapter. I will resume normal updates tomorrow. Sorry everyone (End of this chapter)
