Sword wash the setting sun

Chapter 67
As soon as the Poison King took his seat, he heard someone whispering about the matter of the Feitian Pavilion. After listening carefully, the person discussing it was extremely careful, and could no longer hear the words.

The Poison King turned secretly, and saw the two people who were talking about it, both of them were dressed in Han Chinese.One is armed in short clothes and seems to be a warrior guarding the courtyard; the other looks handsome and seems to have a little status.

Looking around, there are several tables of people in the small shop who seem to be people from the Jianghu or martial arts.

Since the Xianbei people entered the Central Plains and established the Northern Wei Dynasty, the south of the Yangtze River has been the main battleground for martial arts people.Even in the southern Song Dynasty, there are many martial arts people.

In the corner, a fortune teller in Taoist robes, with a signboard with black characters on a yellow background of "God Fortune Teller" beside him, is squinting his eyes and drinking fine wine!The Poison King stayed on him for a while, then looked away.

Although there are also such fortune tellers as hidden dragons and crouching tigers, charlatans can be found everywhere, and the poison king doesn't want to provoke them.

The Poison King listened intently, but he never heard any relevant news. Occasionally someone discussed it, but he was cautious!

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!Normally speaking, if a huge sect is exterminated, it must have spread widely in the Jianghu.Now even talking about it is sneaky, obviously there is an unknown secret behind the matter!This made the ghost king even more puzzled, and the doubts in his heart increased instead of diminishing.

For several days in a row, Yu Fu and Huo Feng had nothing to gain, and even the people who often went in and out of the General Military Mansion were familiar with each other.It seems that stalking is not something that is eager for quick success, and both of them are ready for a protracted war.What the officers and soldiers did, this is the only clue, the two will not give up easily!

On the Du Wang side, the harvest was similar to that of the first day, only a few words from Feitian Pavilion were heard occasionally, and there was no further information.

On this day, the Poison King continued to wait in a restaurant, and an old man in Taoist robes sat across from him, and put the signboard with black letters on a yellow background beside him.What's even more exasperating is that he picked up the poisonous king's wine and drank it himself...

Poison King suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Your Excellency, are we familiar?"

"Everyone in the world is brothers! They are familiar and amiable!"

The Poison King was furious in his heart. After many days of secret investigations, there was no progress. This dead Taoist priest is so reckless.You must know that the poison king has hundreds of ways to kill him without anyone noticing!Just when the poisonous king was about to show his power, the dead Taoist spoke again.

"It's really rare to miss a narrow escape!"

The Poison King was shocked when he heard the words, and then looked at the Taoist priest carefully, only to realize that it was the magic fortune teller he saw the first day.The suspicious Poison King stared at the Taoist priest, speechless for a long time.The words just now were clearly a bargaining chip for him to drink with himself.But I don't know if the "miss" mentioned by the Taoist refers to the incident of the West Lake Ice Cicada last time or the investigation this time?

But one thing is for sure!Taoists already know the origin of the poison king!

With this point, the poison king can't just do it!
"Haha, it turns out that Brother Dao is hiding something! I'm sorry!"

"Xiao Er, serve the wine!" Du Wang added a jar of wine, and ordered some side dishes along the way.Since this Taoist knew his background and dared to share a drink at the same table, even a charlatan has a mind that ordinary people can't match!
For this reason, the Du Wang was very willing to treat him to a drink before he figured it out!
After pushing the cups and placing the cups, there were several empty wine jars beside the table after a short effort.

The drinker is as hot as fire and as cold as ice; it is respectable and should be killed; it can make people detached and unrestrained, and it can also make people act unscrupulously, make people throw off their masks, reveal their true colors, and speak the truth.

At this moment, the two of them drank a lot, and the poison king also showed his friendship as the chief.

"Dare to ask, what's your name?"

"The body is like a duckweed that can be drifted away, and the secrets of the sky can be a fortune teller."

"God's fortune teller? Hehe, since Brother Dao knows the origin of this old man, what advice can I give?"

"Can I take a step to speak?" The fortune teller drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and went straight downstairs.

"Xiao Er! No need to look for it!" The poison king slapped the money on the table, and followed him downstairs.

"Brother Dao, please follow me to the inn to explain!" After the poisonous king finished speaking, he led the way, and the two went side by side to the poisonous king's inn.

Entering the room, the poisonous king closed the door behind his back.

"Master, please show me the way!" The Poison King bowed his hands and bowed respectfully!
After many days of investigation but no results, the fortune teller will come to the door, and there must be something to tell.Life-saving straw, there is no reason to offend!

"The poisonous king doesn't have to be like this! Please sit down and talk!" The fortune teller didn't push himself further, calm and composed!
The two sat at the table, and the fortune teller poured a cup of tea.He dipped his hand into the tea and wrote a few words on the table. The poisonous king looked closely and saw that it read "Tonight, three nights at the Commander's Mansion!"

The Poison King frowned, raised his head and stared at the fortune teller. "You want me to visit the General Military Mansion tonight?"

The magic operator looked at the Poison King and smiled without saying a word!

The General Military Mansion is heavily guarded.How can it be easily spied on?It's not that the Poison King and the others haven't thought about it, but even if they successfully enter, they may not be able to gain anything!You can't forcefully kidnap Zhu Lingshi, the chief soldier, for interrogation.

The Poison King suspects in his heart that if the fortune teller intends to deceive, most of the generals will set up a trap tonight, and if a few people enter, they will fall into the trap themselves, and they will really escape from death!
The poison king wanted to see the truth from the eyes of the magic operator, but the magic operator was also a person who had traveled all over the world for a long time, and he hid it deeply. The two stared at each other for a long time, but the poison king could not see a trace.

"I don't know why brother helped me? The poison king can't figure it out!"

"I just said that everyone in the world is brothers! Seeing you waiting in the teahouse every day, I want to point out the maze on the spur of the moment!"

"If we can find out the reason this time, this favor will definitely be rewarded in the future!" The poisonous king handed over again, but the implication was that if he was fooled, he would definitely not let the fortune teller go!

"That's what I said! Believe it or not, let the Poison King decide for himself, and I will leave!" Shen Suanzi got up and walked out.

Before leaving the door, he turned his head and said: "There will be fate in the future, I hope that I will not be drunk with the poisonous king!"

After speaking, the fortune teller looked up to the sky and laughed loudly and went out!

The poison king in the inn was entangled, and the three of them lost their lives, but he didn't have the capital to take risks, so he had to discuss with Yu Fu and Huo Feng before making a decision.Although this is the case in his heart, the rare opportunity has attracted the poison king for a long time and he can't let go of it.

Perhaps, if you miss this opportunity, and try to find out the news of Feitian Pavilion, it will be like ascending to the sky!
After much deliberation, the Poison King decided to discuss with the two of them to make a decision!
The Poison King disguised himself again and found Yu Fu and Huo Feng who were still watching outside the General Military Mansion!

"Is there any gain?" The Poison King asked softly.

"Today is extraordinary!..." Yu Fu just wanted to elaborate, but was interrupted by Huofeng.

Looking in the direction indicated by the fire phoenix, a group of officers and soldiers, a total of 38 people, entered the general military mansion neatly dressed.

The Poison King's heart trembled, suggesting that the two should go back and talk.

Returning to the inn again, the Poison King struggled in his heart and made up his mind for a long time to tell the truth about the fortune teller.

"Today's Commander's Mansion is indeed unusual. Although many generals often enter and leave the Commander's Mansion on weekdays, they are especially frequent today!" Yu Fu glanced at the Poison King and continued, "If what the fortune teller said is true, tonight we will There are important people meeting with Zongbing Zhu; or, these people are busy preparing traps for us."

"If this continues, we may not even be able to find out the truth, let alone revenge! It's not as good as a tiger's lair, how can we get a tiger's cub! Just according to the fortune teller, we will visit the General Military Mansion tonight!" Huofeng bit her lip and said .

There have been no gains for many days, and most of everyone's patience has been worn away; the remaining patience is also supported by caution and reasons not to take risks at will.

Huo Feng's words immediately aroused the generosity of Yu Fu and Du Wang.

"Okay! Even if it's Longtan and Tiger's Den, we'll break into the General Military Mansion tonight! But Huofeng, you stay at the inn. If Yu Fu and I don't come back before dawn, you should leave quickly. The fortune teller in the city must know the truth, you Find a way to find him to avenge us and Feitian Pavilion." After finishing speaking, the Poison King looked at Yu Fu!

There is both solicitation and expectation in the eyes.

"Okay! That's it!"

"That's good! Let's take a look at the structure of the General Military Mansion while it's still early in the sky!"

The three of them came to the vicinity of the General Military Mansion again, looking for a place where they could climb up.

Finally, I found a restaurant near the General Military Mansion, and secretly calculated that the General Military Mansion can be seen at a glance from the top floor.

The three of them entered the restaurant and walked up the stairs to the top floor.

The name of the restaurant is "Dengtianlou". When I entered it, I found that the scale of the restaurant is not small, with a total of eight floors.

The first floor is full of guests, most of them are ordinary people;
On the second floor, the number of guests is halved, and all the guests are dressed in brocade clothes;

On the third floor, there is an elegant seat, and there is a high platform opposite, it seems that there are actors performing on the stage;
The fourth floor is full of unknown musical instruments such as Guqin, Guzheng, and chime bells, which are antique and very few guests are seated;

On the fifth floor, it is very simple and unusual, there are Go games on the table, and there are even fewer guests!
The sixth floor is full of paintings, and there are less than five people in the seat.

The seventh floor is covered with plaques, all of which are written by famous contemporary masters.There is only one person in the seat, sitting by the window!

The three of them were about to continue their journey when they were blocked by a beautiful woman, "Excuse me, three guest officers, is there any distinguished guest from the General Military Mansion?"

The three looked at each other and smiled, "What? The dining here has to be arranged by the General Military Office?"

Unexpectedly, the woman said leisurely: "Three honored guests, please stay still. There are indeed regulations on this 'climbing to the sky'. Not everyone can go up to these eight floors."

The three of them were angry in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it. After all, this trip had a purpose!

"The three of you might as well have dinner on the seventh floor. There are only eight floors in the Sky Tower, and the ninth floor is the sky! Few people in the world can climb the sky, so the ninth floor was canceled during construction, and the eighth floor is only for dignitaries to watch Ordinary people can watch it below the eighth floor!"

The three of them recalled that it was true that each floor of this building was divided according to grades.But it's really not worthwhile to let dignitaries go up to the eighth floor for a meal.

"There is one more thing that needs to be explained. The fee for each floor of 'Climbing to Heaven' is twice that of the bottom floor. The first floor is the same as the ordinary store, and doubles each floor, so the seventh floor is more than sixty times the ordinary store! The woman smiled professionally.

"Is there such a big reward for each level of guests?"

"The guest officer is joking, these are all decided by the guests themselves! But if you climb a point, you can gain more!"

The poisonous king took out ten taels of silver in pain, "Give us two jugs of wine, if it is not enough, we will calculate it at the end. This is the deposit."

The three of them walked to another table by the window and sat down!
