step by step

"Xing Kong said you were in a hurry to find me?"

Shi Sang opened the door and entered the room, and when he looked up, he saw Kong Zhu's slightly red eyes, walked up to her in surprise, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Kong Zhu drank a few more sips of tea, trying to calm himself down: "Do you still remember? We walked all the way before, no matter in Zuojia or Fuguang City, we all felt that someone was peeping around us. It's just that the feeling was extremely subtle, In addition, we were distracted by the skeleton army, so we never let go to investigate."

Seeing Kong Zhu's serious expression, Shi Sang knew in his heart that she must have discovered something.Kong Zhu raised his head and glanced at Xing Kong, and Xing Kong wisely went to guard the door.

"I understand what you mean. Is there a ghost among us?" Shi Sang frowned, thinking about each of his group of people, and said with a wry smile: "We only brought this little to avoid trouble. Man, I didn't expect it to be more troublesome now.

Everyone knows the strength of our group of people. If we really can hide from you and me to monitor our every move, none of them can have this strength on the surface.If they hide their strength, we will be in a bit of trouble if the enemy is in the dark.

Although we don't know much about the three of them, Su Gewen and the others, they are after all the direct descendants of the heart-reading line, with high positions and weight, and they were carefully selected by the elders for us, so they should not betray the tribe.Even if they monitor us, at least they won't have any malicious intentions towards us until our task is completed. "

Kong Zhu nodded slightly, and said, "Although Xing Kong is not with us, but now his life is in my hands, I can be sure that he will have no problems. As for Yan Feng and Gu Du, they have no respect for the emperor." If you don't like it, one is the hatred of suspicion, and the other is the hatred of destroying the family, no matter what, you won't be on the opposite side of us, right?"

The suspicions of his own people were ruled out one by one, "What if it's not an insider, but an outsider?" Shi Sang said hesitantly.

Kong Zhu frowned tightly: "That's even more troublesome!" The inner ghost is under the nose, and with the insight of the two of them, they will detect some clues no matter what.But if they are outsiders, no matter how powerful they are, with a population of 10 in Fuxi City, they are still powerless.

What's more, that person's strength is also on par with theirs, otherwise it would not be difficult for them to find out.If that person really had any other purpose, wouldn't the two of them be completely passive?

"Why are you so anxious today? Didn't you have a good rest these days?" Shi Sang couldn't help asking.His eyes flicked back and forth over Kong Zhu.From the moment she came in, she felt Kong Zhu's mood swings. It wasn't that she wanted to pay attention, but the other party's performance today was too obvious, and she couldn't do it even if she didn't want to pay attention.

Kong Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the fundamental purpose of calling Shi Sang: "The skeleton army, are you ready?"

"We don't have enough manpower here, so I asked someone from the Hui tribe to call in a reinforcement." Shi Sang said with a mysterious smile: "It's been so long, and it's probably about time for her to come here. As long as there are no problems on the way, she If I can get here on time, then I can assure you that I will absolutely trap those shady rats in front of False Creek City!"

"What method are you going to use?" Kong Zhu asked curiously.

"Do you still remember the Golden Illusion Array?"

The name was so familiar, it didn't take long for Kong Zhu to remember where he had seen it before, and his expression was not only a little unnatural: "...Didn't it mean that this is just a small phantom formation?"

At the top of the Cold River, Shi Sang used this formation to clean up Xing Kong, and Kong Zhu was affected by the formation a little bit, and then Shi Sang was almost caught by Shi Sang... It seems that after that, the situation became more and more unstoppable tidy.

Shi Sang couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Kongzhu, do you really believe that is lying to you? Our clan's three ancient formations, one for attack and one for defense, and this so-called Great Formation of the Town Clan, there is nothing wrong with it." How can it be called the head of the three formations, the guardian artifact?"

Town clan formation.Just these four simple words are enough to explain its extraordinary.But after all, she is not a member of the divination lineage, and she didn't struggle with it for too long. Instead, she noticed another thing that someone inadvertently said: "You lied to me? So you let me enter that place on purpose?" Is it a golden fantasy array?"

Shi Sang turned his head away a little guilty, secretly thinking that he was too complacent.

Kong Zhu said coldly: "You can see everything I experienced in the formation, right?"

How can she say that she has always kept a low profile in the outside world, and has never shown her ambition for that position in front of outsiders. How can that person be so sure that she will agree to her request!After that day, she always suspected that it was because of her experience in the formation, but she couldn't open her mouth to ask, and even if she asked, she still didn't know whether Shi Sang's answer was true or not, which only added to her troubles, so she delayed the matter go down.

It just so happened that a certain person fell into a trap today, so she simply settled the account with her.

"I knew you a long time ago, not in the clan ancestral hall that day as I said at the time."

When Shi Sang said such a sentence suddenly, Kong Zhu was stunned for a moment.Shi Sang went on to say: "I always knew that there would be someone like you. You are smart, wise, sensitive and suspicious. You are a royal nobleman. You should be admired by all people, but you have fallen so low. You can't bear it, but every time you hit it , will put people to death.”

Every time he said a word, the smile on Shi Sang's face deepened.The eyelashes cast light shadows under her eyes, it was obvious that she hadn't had a good rest these days because she was busy with the formation.Those black eyes turned sluggish, bright as stars in the sky.

On her face was a pure and warm smile like a child: "Your name is Kongzhu. To be honest, I really didn't expect you to be a woman. When the patriarch uncle only pointed you to me, I was very surprised It can be said that I know you better than anyone else, and our fate has long been tied together. I always thought that your nature should be a... How should I put it, rebellious? Anyway, it is what a hero in troubled times should have Looks. I really didn't expect that she was such a soft and easy-to-buy woman."

Kong Zhu stared at her blankly, not knowing how to react.The anger that everything about him has been seen in advance?There seems to be a little bit.Powerlessness in the face of such a powerful unknown force?Seems a little too.She was not at all moved by the strong emotions revealed in Shi Sang's paintings, but could not help shivering, a chill spread to her limbs and bones, and the temperature of her whole body dropped sharply.She felt that the people in front of her were terrible, and she had nothing to hide in front of her.

"...Who is it?" She said bluntly, full of fear and uneasiness, which turned into a monstrous anger that her dignity was violated, like a wounded little beast stretching its teeth and claws to protect its territory.

Shi Sang didn't expect Kong Zhu to be so sensitive at all, she didn't mean to threaten or show off when she said these words, she wasn't that bad.She wanted to tell her everything, and she didn't want any secrets between them.

"Ah Zhu..." She subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab Kong Zhu, but Kong Zhu suddenly took two steps back, her eyes full of defense.

She doesn't trust her, they've been together for so long, and she still doesn't trust her.Shi Sang felt a lump in his throat.But she still tried her best to maintain a calm tone: "Did you forget? When I went to find you, I told you that it was the instruction of the priest."

"Sacrifice? Who?" Kong Zhu asked back.

"I don't know, I don't know," Shi Sang murmured, "I don't know who she is. I was given to her by my clan to teach me since I was born. I only know that she is a priest, the master priest of my clan. She told me everything about you, and she told me about all our bonds. I don’t know anything else. If you want to know how she knows these things, come back with me when you have time Within the clan."

Kong Zhu took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.After such a short period of time, the tense nerves slowly relaxed, and she felt that her tired eyes could hardly be opened: "The reinforcement you invited this time... is she?"

"No, Master Sacrifice cannot leave the clan, of course it's not her. The energy required for this big formation is extremely huge, and the reserves of ethereal gems here are not enough, only the clan can have them. Part of the reason for sending people back to ask for help this time " Shi Sang slowly approached Kong Zhu, tentatively putting his hands on her shoulders.Kong Zhu's body trembled slightly, but he didn't make any movement, acquiescing to her approach.

"This is different from last time. To trap so many enemies at the same time, the main formation must not only be strong, but also must be in the formation at all times, observing the situation of the formation at all times. I can't, I can't be This formation is trapped, and I still have to accompany you to the magic capital." Shi Sang put Kong Zhu into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Kong Zhu also slowly encircled Shi Sang.It turned out that she had been thinking about this so long ago...

Shi Sang said: "Ah Zhu, do you still remember Shiwei? Senior Shiwei?"

"The ancestor in the story?"

"Yes, it's her. In order for our plan to be safe, I had to invite her to help. Senior Shiwei is definitely the number one master of our entire family of prophets. We are going to the magic capital, and with her sitting here, no matter who We don’t need to worry about the undead warlocks who can’t see the light, or some forces hiding in the dark.”

She explained in detail that she wanted to relieve Kong Zhu some pressure and also wanted to give her a surprise, so she didn't tell Kong Zhu about this.How clever she is, she can think of nothing, how can she not think of it?

Kong Zhu leaned his head on her shoulder and said nothing.Shi Sang stroked her hair lightly, and said softly, "I'll go to Shanghai with you, okay?"

Kong Zhu was still silent, but very lightly, nodded his head.
