Chapter 1368 Song Xingchen
The next day, Du Ni and the eight arrived indeed. The reason why there were eight was that there was also an arrogant Eunuch Ao.
As for Hou Shisanjian not catching up, I don’t know where he has been...
Zhou Fan and Du Ni and the others got together and talked about things on the road for a while. After knowing that Du Ni and the others encountered something quite thrilling on the road, they never encountered much more.
Zhou Fan, Du Ni and the others had a full meal, and then they replenished supplies in the Dao City, and then they arrived at the Daozhu City Mansion.
Zhou Fan came yesterday. After waiting for a while, someone took them into the mansion and walked forward to the front of a courtyard.
Only then did Zhou Fan and the others discover that there was a group of people waiting for them in front of the gate of the courtyard.
Among the group of people, an old man in yellow clothes and elegant temperament was standing in front of him. When he saw Zhou Fan and the others coming, he just squinted his eyes and smiled.
"This is our Taoist Lord." A middle-aged man next to the old man in yellow spoke.
Only then did Zhou Fan and the others realize that this person was Song Xingchen, the lord of Cangdong Dao, and they all bowed.
Zhou Fan was a little surprised and a little alert. Why did Song Xingchen appear at this time?
Song Xingchen suddenly saw Eunuch Ao in the crowd. His face shook and returned to calm and smiled: "Eunuch Ao, long time no see."
Eunuch Ao smiled and said, "Mr. Song, it's really been a long time. If it weren't for the urgent time, I would definitely have a good talk with Mr. Song."
Zhou Fan and the others were also surprised. Eunuch Ao really had a wide range of friendship and even the Taoist master recognized it.
Speaking of reminiscing about the past, Song Xingchen twitched and said, "Yes, it's really a pity. I wonder if Eunuch Long is in good health?"
Eunuch Ao is very powerful and has a superb personality, but who has given him a good godfather? Even Song Xingchen has to be polite to Eunuch Ao. Eunuch Long is the third-ranked chief manager in the Jing Palace.
There is a folk saying that it is better to offend saints than to offend eunuchs. These eunuchs always revolve around the emperor of the Great Wei. It is too easy to give them eye medicine.
Speaking of Eunuch Long, Eunuch Ao said proudly: "Of course my godfather is in good health. He is very fierce, and there is no problem with Ye Yu's ten women!"
Everyone: "..."
Song Xingchen did not dare to answer the conversation, and he coughed dryly and asked, "Who is Zhou Fan?"
"I am." Zhou Fan said hurriedly.
Song Xingchen smiled and said, "Zhou Fan, Mr. Da often mentions you, and he has long wanted to see you."
Zhou Fan quickly said a few humility, and he thought to himself that maybe it was because of Duanmu Xiaohong that Song Xingchen would come here specially.
Song Xingchen turned to Du Ni and other people's names. In front of the senior and powerful seniors, Du Ni and the others were very respectful. Song Xingchen praised them as young talents in the Great Wei Dynasty and looked very kind.
"Okay, you guys go in, I still have something to do," Song Xingchen said a few words and finally said.
"Sir, go slowly." Zhou Fan and the others watched Song Xingchen and his group of subordinates leave.
Zhou Fan and the others quickly entered the courtyard gate, and there was a huge teleportation formation in the courtyard.
There is a dedicated person responsible for debugging the formation.
"Hello, sirs, where are you going?" asked the person in charge of the formation.
Zhou Fan quickly told the person the direction he had already thought of, but the person did not ask too much, but asked his subordinates to debug as Zhou Fan said.
"You said you understand the formation, right?" Zhou Fan asked Du Ni in a very soft voice. The people in the formation could not hear what he said.
"Yes." Du Ni nodded for a moment.
"Look at it carefully to see if this formation has any fatal flaws." Zhou Fan whispered.
The sudden appearance of Song Xingchen still made Zhou Fan feel something was wrong. Even if Song Xingchen probably wouldn't do such a thing, he would be wary of it.
Du Ni was a little surprised that Zhou Fan would ask this, but he still looked at it seriously.
Du Ni was originally educated by the academy since childhood. He not only studied poetry, calligraphy, classics, martial arts, but also learned formations, but just simply checking whether there are any problems with the formation. It was just a trivial matter for him.
When the formation was almost arranged, Du Ni shook his head and said, "There will not be any major problem, the direction is also the direction you mentioned."
Zhou Fan then breathed a sigh of relief, he believed in Du Ni.
After the formation was arranged, Zhou Fan and the others did not delay much, but stepped into the formation together, and then the people from the Taoist lord's mansion helped to activate the formation.
Zhou Fan and his team quickly disappeared into the formation.
After seeing that the matter was completed, the people from the Taoist lord's mansion packed the remaining abandoned formation jade materials and left the courtyard.
News of Zhou Fan and the others leaving soon came to the ears of Song Xingchen, the host of Cang.
At this time, Song Xingchen was sitting on the main seat of the mansion, and below him were a group of subordinates from the main seat of the Cang Dongdao.
The subordinates all looked solemn.
"Bring them up." Song Xingchen said lightly.
Soon someone escorted six people into the hall. The six people knelt down, lowered their heads and dared not look directly at Song Xingchen. One of them was Baisino.
The six people were trembling all over, but Song Xingchen did not speak, and they did not dare to beg for mercy.
Song Xingchen's eyes were sharp, he was silent, and after a while he spoke, "Take it down and kill it to the public."
The six people trembled for a moment and begged for mercy, saying that they were deceived and not intentional.
No one standing in the hall dared to plead for them, because this incident touched Song Xingchen's bottom line.
These six people actually dared to collude and wanted to use the teleportation formation to teleport Zhou Fan and others to a dangerous place. Once such a thing is successful, if something happens to Zhou Fan and others, the entire Cang Dongdao Mansion will never be clear of the suspicion, and there will be an irreconcilable crack between the Cang Dongdao Mansion on the academy and the Cang Dongdao Mansion on the academy.
Actually, these people don’t know, but what Song Xingchen is more afraid of is that the people in the academy are of course important, but if Eunuch Ao really dies because of the Lord Cang’s Mansion, with his understanding of Eunuch Long, the consequences will probably be even more serious.
The guards came and dragged the six people away.
"Sir, please spare me. I am willing to give up the person who instructed me... I am willing to take the mansion to catch that person... That person has ulterior motives..." Bai Sinuo shouted shrillly.
Baisino's call made one of the people in the mansion unable to help but say, "Sir, they deserve to die, but the messenger behind the scenes..."
The guards stopped slightly and waited for Song Xingchen's order.
Song Xingchen sneered: "You six are idiots. That man didn't plan to fulfill his promise at all. He had already escaped before the incident."
Their last hope was gone, as if their six people were dead.
After the six guards dragged them away, Song Xingchen's face relaxed slightly, "Give up their family members, if their family wants to leave Daocheng, don't stop them."
The subordinates praised the Lord Lord for his kindness. After all, this is a Daocheng. Even if Song Xingchen ordered the six people to be caught and killed, no one could say anything.
Song Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This matter is over, but you also know that I don't like someone to tamper with me behind my back, so I hope I won't be discovered by me again, otherwise..."
"You have seen their fate, too."
The subordinates all looked shaking. Lord Song was usually very kind, but they almost forgot that who could be the master of one Taoism was truly ruthless?
It seems that you must be careful in the future and not be bribed by others to do something that touches Lord Song’s bottom line.
Song Xingchen waved his hand and asked his subordinates to retreat. He sat on the main seat and his face turned cold again.
This time the matter seemed to be very simple to solve, but if he hadn't always been very careful with the mansion, something might have happened.
Once something happens, even if the eldest gentleman has a good temper, he will never easily expose the matter. He will definitely get into a quarrel with the academy, offend the academy, and the eunuch Long, which is what he least wants to see at the moment.
As for who did this, he had some speculations in his mind, but he just didn't want to tell his subordinates.
Thinking of this, a hint of worry appeared on his face. He didn't know whether the catastrophe would really come. He was more worried about the situation in the Wei Dynasty.
