178. Chapter 178 Uninvited Guest [8]
The person coming is none other than Ximen Que.
Nangong Xichao's eyes narrowed slightly. He was wondering why he could enter the mausoleum so easily. It turned out that Ximenque had been prepared for it. Could he have known that he would come here?
"General Ximen, I just came to pay my respects to my mother, your aunt. Doesn't it seem too unreasonable for you to do this?"
Ximenque didn't take it seriously and went straight to the point, "Cousin Nangong, I know that you stole my pagoda in the Western Dynasty. If you are self-aware, I advise you to return it as soon as possible!"
It seems that when he stole the pagoda, Ximen Que had already known that he had done it, so he had already planned everything and was waiting to catch the turtle in the urn, and his attack on the Southern Dynasty because of the pagoda was just based on the excuse.
He just wanted to annex the Southern Dynasties.
Ximenque is really much more cunning than he thought.
"The Pagoda is not in my hands, but even if it was in my hands, I wouldn't give it to you. The real owner of the Pagoda is not you at all!"
Ximenque's eyes darkened and he said sternly: "Whose hands the pagoda belongs to, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since I got it, then it is mine!"
Nangong Xichao smiled mockingly, "Ximen used despicable means to obtain the Western Dynasty and the pagoda. Are you sure that you really eradicated the evil deeds after you committed them?"
"What do you mean?"
Shaking his head, "What do I mean? General Ximen, you are a smart man, so you naturally know what I mean."
Ximenque didn't want to tangle with him anymore about these old things, so he said instead: "Did you know that I brought Chu Qingkuang to the Western Dynasty?"
Nangong Xichao's heart trembled violently, but he tried his best to suppress it or else he would show any signs of it, and said in a calm tone, "What does this have to do with me?"
"Oh? Is it okay?" He could see it clearly on the battlefield. His cousin showed panic after seeing Chu Qingkuang fall off the cliff. No matter how well he pretended to be at this moment, he still knew
He cared about that woman very much.
"Ximenque, you'd better let me out quickly!" Nangong Xichao also lost patience.
"You don't have to worry about it. This iron cage is made of fine black iron. You can't get out from here without the key. Also, there is a poison in the iron cage. The poison can seal your meridians.
No matter how good your spiritual power is, it is useless."
Nangong Xi glanced at his hand and saw that his palm was turning black. He tried to use his inner strength, but found that he could not control the direction of the spiritual power at all. He looked at Ximenque with extremely resentful eyes, "Ximenque, you
This despicable villain!"
Ximenque didn't take it seriously, "Think about it carefully, whether you want the pagoda or that woman."
He originally wanted to use Chu Qingkuang to scare him, but later he discovered that Chu Qingkuang was not a goddess at all. This was just right, and it would be easier to threaten Nangong Xichao.
Ximen Que took him to the place of execution. Chu Qingkuang had already been taken to the execution platform. The executioner holding a big sword stood beside him, waiting for the moment to come.
"Cousin Nangong, do you really want to watch that woman die by the knife?"
Nangong Xichao did not answer. His face seemed calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
