Chapter 20 I will give them a reason they can't refuse!
Seeing Bai Jiu's strange behavior, Wang Dong was a little confused and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?"
Bai Jiu gradually regained consciousness, looked at Wang Dong, and said, "I, I just heard them discussing how to set up traps to catch the head uncle and her two brothers."
"Who sets the trap?"
Bai Jiu shook his head, "I don't know."
“…Where did you hear it?”
"Just just after you patted my head, I suddenly fainted for a while, and then I heard someone talking in my ear saying that I would use the fake Prime Minister Cui to lead them to the robbery of the law, and then I would catch them all in one go..."
Wang Dong was shocked and said, "You boy have beautiful eyes and beautiful eyes, but you have the ability to keep your ears down?"
Bai Jiu was confused, "I don't know..."
"Then listen again and see what else can you hear."
Bai Jiu listened as he spoke, but only heard the mountain wind blowing slowly, insects and birds singing in the forest, and no longer heard the human voice.
He looked at Wang and shook his head, and suddenly had an idea and said, "You try patting my head again."
Wang Dong did as he did, and reached out to take a photo of Bai Jiu's head three times, but it still had no effect.
"And what you just said..."
Wang Dong repeated the sentence just now: "What's wrong with you, little brother?"
...
Still no response, it looked like two people were teasing each other.
"It seems that this skill has some restrictions and cannot be triggered at any time..."
Wang Dong no longer struggled, "Forget it, let's talk about it next time I meet it. The news you just heard is enough to draw a conclusion."
He repeated the matter in his mind and asked, "Ajiu, do you know your uncle's home?"
Bai Jiu nodded, "I know, one day, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the governors of the Eight Prefectures gathered in Liangzhou to hold a moon-watching competition. The head uncle took us to open our eyes..."
"Well, take me there." Wang Dong said.
"ah?"
"I'll go and meet my future brother-in-law." Wang Dong said thoughtfully.
"oh."
The two left the back mountain, Bai Jiu first reported to his master, then applied for two horses, and rushed to Liangzhou City with Wang Dong.
Judging from the information currently available, Wang Dong can basically determine two things:
1. Prime Minister Cui has been killed, and the so-called killing is just a cover;
2. Empress Yu and Prince Ninth have decided to eradicate the Cui family and set up traps in the capital for them to fall into the trap.
However, Cui Shuangyu's eldest brother Cui Xiaokuan, as the governor of Liangzhou, has great ties and will not leave Liangzhou easily. Even if he wants to go to the capital to save his father in person, he will be prepared. Therefore, Wang Dong concluded that he had not left Liangzhou City at this time.
Wang Dong is going to see him now, just to persuade him not to go to the capital.
Less than half a day from the Red Line Gang to Liangzhou City, when entering the city, Bai Jiuliang showed up to the Red Line Gang's identity and was unobstructed all the way. Soon after, he arrived at Cui's mansion. Bai Jiu said to the soldiers guarding the gate: "Don't worry, go in and report, my son-in-law is back."
The soldiers guarding the gate recognized the identity of the disciple of the Bai Jiuhong Line Gang, but they didn't know when the third lady married and asked, "What kind of son-in-law?"
Bai Jiu said: "The uncle from the head has been worshipped by the ancestor of this sect with the prince and became husband and wife. Why don't you know yet?"
Several gatekeepers shook their heads, "The third lady has not been sent back..."
As they said that, they looked at Wang Dong together.
Bai Jiu was a little embarrassed. The head uncle didn't even inform his family of the big event of getting married. It seemed that he really didn't take this marriage to heart. Thinking of this, he felt a little sympathetic to Wang Dong.
Wang Dong walked over with a calm expression and said, "Yu'er and I are both from the world. Why do you have to follow the red tape of the world? My father-in-law is trapped in the capital at this time, and Yu'er has already gone to rescue him alone. You will continue to delay time here and not report it. If you miss the news, you will consider whether you can afford it."
Wang Dong said these words together with both hardness and softness, pointing to the key points. The soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to neglect them anymore, so they quickly went in to report and came out soon to invite Wang Dong and Bai Jiu into the house.
As Wang Dong expected, Cui Xiaokuan was indeed still in Liangzhou. At this time, he was discussing countermeasures with the counselors and generals in the palace. When he saw Wang Dong and Bai Jiu coming in, he said nothing and stared at them with a bright look.
Cui Xiaokuan is tall and powerful. He is also a martial arts master in the Zhaxing Realm. In addition, he has been through a long-term killing field and is strong in his blood. Just staring at people like this will also put great pressure on people.
Bai Jiu was a little nervous, but he still respectfully bowed to Cui Xiaokuan and said, "Go to the General."
Cui Xiaokuan raised his hand slightly and his eyes fell on Wang Dong.
"When Wang Dong is down, I won't gossip. According to the information I have received, the Prime Minister Ling Zun Cui has been killed by Yuhou and the Nine Kings. Why..."
"What did you say?!"
Wang Dong was interrupted by Cui Xiaokuan's roar as soon as he spoke.
"Nine Kings, Empress Yu killed the throne, Prime Minister Cui has obtained the evidence and has been killed by them." Wang Dong stated calmly.
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was shocked.
"Little brother, where did you learn this news?"
A middle-aged scholar in blue clothes asked in front of Cui Xiaokuan.
"I am a bad person, and I specialize in collecting information in Beijing." Wang Dong mentioned the lie again.
The scholar said, "You told her the news that the third lady had sent back that 'Prime Minister Cui is in danger'?"
"That's right."
The scholar looked at Cui Xiaokuan, whose face turned pale and gritted his teeth and said, "This news may not be accurate. Even if... the news is true, Shuangyu and Yingying are both in the capital, I can't ignore them."
Cui Yingying is the second lady of Cui's family known as the "No. 1 talented woman in the world", namely Cui Xiaokuan's second sister, Cui Shuangyu's second sister, and also the crown princess consort appointed by the late emperor Tang Yong.
Cui Yingying went to the capital with her father in her early years and was staying at the courtesy of the mother. Later, because her father and Empress Yu were not in harmony, she was unable to marry the prince for a long time. Now the two families have a bloody feud, so the engagement naturally ended.
The scholar said, "If you go, you will not be able to save it; if you don't go, there will be a glimmer of life."
Only then did Wang Dong realize that the scholar was also persuading Cui Xiaokuan and followed the situation: "They were in a hurry to kill Prime Minister Cui to silence him. As for the two girls, they did not pose much threat to them, but they could be used to threaten you, so as long as you stay in Liangzhou, they will not be in danger of their lives for the time being."
"What the prince said is very much!" The scholar said, "The Nine Kings of Jade Queen killed the throne and usurped the throne, and lost the treasure of the emperor. Once the news came out, the world would be in chaos. At that time, the general would have the opportunity to deal with them and wait for an opportunity to rescue the two girls."
Cui Xiaokuan pondered silently.
Wang Dong was touched by the four words "The Treasure of the Emperor" and said, "Maybe there is no need to wait until that time."
"What does your words mean?" asked the middle-aged scholar.
"Please ask General Cui to hold his troops temporarily. In two days, news will come to the capital. General Cui can send an envoy to the capital to lobby for the Queen of Yu and the Nine Kings to release the two girls."
Cui Xiaokuan said: "Unless I exchange my head, how could they let people go so easily?"
Wang Dong said: "I will give them a reason that cannot be refused."
“What’s the reason?”
Wang Dong refused to answer and said, "General, please continue to send people to the capital to find out the news. If you can see Miss Cui before she is arrested, it would be better."
The middle-aged scholar said: "The third batch of spies have been sent out, and I hope it will be too late."
Wang Dong nodded, clasped his fists and said goodbye: "I'll go back and wait for Master Luo first, and come to visit you in two days."
After saying that, he was about to leave, Cui Xiaokuan suddenly asked, "Young Master Wang, the guards outside the door just came to report that you and the sister-in-law had already worshipped the Red Line Ancestor and became a marriage?"
Wang Dong said: "When Miss Cui comes back, you can ask her yourself."
After saying that, he took Bai Jiu away.
Just as the two left Cui's mansion, Cui Shuangyu and several companions, who were in the capital, happened to sneak into the prime minister's mansion. However, before they could further explore the mansion, the three young girls who looked exactly the same, with bells hanging on their wrists and plum blossom marks on their foreheads appeared in front of them.
The three twin sisters were divided into three locations, with expressionless expressions and no words.
Cui Shuangyu and others were as if they were facing a great enemy.
Dingling...
A series of bells that caught the soul suddenly rang, and everyone was moved.
The next moment, three phantoms flashed in front of their eyes, and the three sisters disappeared from their original place.
Cui Shuangyu disappeared with them!
When everyone came to their senses, they heard a string of ringtones leaving far away.
...
Wang Dong returned to Zhaochuan Xiaozhu's room, closed the door, found the treasure of the emperor, and then opened the package layer by layer. He saw a blue-black box with extremely mysterious mechanisms. Wang Dong could not open it, so he reached out to rub it on the box and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, a gentle voice rang in my mind:
[The world of the world is like a journey, you are also a pedestrian. Welcome to the terrifying world...]
