Conspiracy

Chapter 634

The fifth day of the winter month.

They moved very fast, but after a day and a night, they finally arrived at the entrance of Huamanqi.

It's just that the entrance is different from what they imagined.

There should have been green plants on this piece of land, but time has passed and it was swallowed up by the yellow sand bit by bit.

In front of them, there was a huge black ancient tree, but the shape of this tree was like a headless beauty with no hair, the annual rings were clearly visible, the whole body was smooth, and there was no sense of vicissitudes.

The red branches are layered on top of each other, surrounding and covering, like a phoenix and a phoenix wrapping around the beauty's body, covering all the hidden parts of the beauty's body.

Mo Chen looked at this ancient tree, and the Wuxi wood in his hand became hotter and hotter.

In front of this beauty tree, hundreds of people have already stopped to watch. In addition to famous knights, there are also many wealthy businessmen and members of the army.

Huo Ji and others have not yet appeared, nor have they found any trace of Su Zhen.

She quietly put away the Wuxi wood, and then covered the veil, as if she was afraid of being discovered by others.

"Miss Mo Chen, don't we go and see that ancient tree? Maybe we can find a clue." Tang Zhixing asked.

"Wait a minute."

"Wait for what?"

"People who can get here are not fuel-efficient lamps. Let them find the way for us, so that we don't step on the trap by mistake."

"Then this is not the same as Brother He said before, let those people be stepping stones for us?!"

Mo gave him a blank look: "Pedantic scholars, if they don't go, we will die. If you want to be a saint, then go. After you die, I will burn [-] moral books for you every Ching Ming." through."

Tang Zhixing shut up resolutely, and He Jingyuan covered his mouth and sniggered after changing his appearance.

The three chose a secluded place, although it was far away from the beauty tree, but they could have a panoramic view of everyone's actions.

Regardless of whether this beauty tree is the real entrance or not, its shape alone is enough to make people breathtaking.

Although there is no human head, the graceful figure of this beauty tree still makes people daydream.

A few lechers wanted to take the opportunity to blaspheme, but when they approached, the phoenix seemed to be half alive in an instant, and the branches at the tail were flying, and those people were involved in the thick branches, and the screams were not even heard. He lost his breath in an instant.

So, for a long time, no one dared to approach.

Until someone couldn't bear it anymore, and approached quietly with a small piece of root of Wuxi wood, but the phoenix did not hurt him.

They saw with their own eyes that after the man touched the beauty tree with its roots, a mass of white light enveloped it, and then disappeared.

Seeing this, the rest of the people speculated whether he had entered Huamanqili.

Gradually, more and more people approached the beauty tree hand in hand, without exception, they all disappeared into a ball of white light.

The uneasiness in Pei Shaojun's heart became more and more intense, and he asked in a deep voice, "Since these roots have been tampered with, where did they go?"

Mo Shen shook his head: "I don't know."

"Sister Mo Chen, we can't just watch them die because of me! No, I have to go out and tell them!"

Seeing that He Jingyuan was about to rush out, Mo Chen hurriedly stopped him: "Stop! You said earlier that it was okay, but you only told the truth after hundreds of people disappeared. Why don't they kill you?"

"Then what do you say?!"

"This is not a trap set up for us. Although I don't know whether those missing people are dead or alive, but He Liang's men have not arrived, so they should be safe for the time being."

When Mo Chen said this, she had no idea. Just now, a crazy idea flashed in her mind, but she couldn't believe it.

unless unless
He Jingyuan suddenly exclaimed: "Look quickly! It's Zhu Gusheng! Why is he here?"

The three of them looked and found an old man over sixty years old in the crowd, with frosty temples, a stooped back, and although the clothes on his body were not tattered, they were very old.If it weren't for the fleeting cunning in his eyes, he would really be misunderstood as an ordinary old man.

"Who is Zhu Gusheng?" Mo Chen asked.

"Zhu Gusheng is the richest businessman in Xiliang, you haven't heard of it!"

Mo Chen vaguely felt that this name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Looking at her confused eyes, Tang Zhixing knew that she had never heard of it, so he explained: "This Zhu Gusheng started his career by gambling. No one knows his origin, but he appeared suddenly and relied on Get rich by gambling."

"Gambling skills? So it's him!"

Zhu Gusheng is the person Su Zhen placed in Xiliang!
If Zhu Gusheng is here, then Su Zhen should appear soon.

"Look! It's the Regent!"

The four people heard the sound and looked around, only to see a sound of horseshoes coming from far to near, and everyone avoided them one after another, so that He Liang and his men came to the beauty tree smoothly.

He Liang sat high on the horse, releasing the ruthless coercion all over his body, and everyone involuntarily took a few steps back.

He brought not many but not many people, at least about [-] people, and within a short while, he controlled all of them.

He Liang touched the long sword with his left hand, and with the sound of sharp rubbing, the long sword was slowly unsheathed.

Slowly input the inside of his body into the sword, seeing that he was about to raise his hand to chop off, the others quickly stopped him: "My lord! Wait!"

"Shut up!" A soldier drew his knife and put it on the man's neck.

He Liang stopped his movements, frowned and looked at the person who made the sound: "Zhu Gusheng? Why are you?!"

"Hey! My lord, long time no see! I didn't expect to see you again today, it would be such a big battle."

Zhu Gusheng clamped the soldier's knife with his two fingers, flicked it lightly, and the sharp blade immediately turned around. He heard a sound of "噗呲", and blood spurted out. He turned slightly sideways to avoid the sprayed blood.

As the soldier fell to the ground, everyone took a closer look and saw that there was a bloody gash on the soldier's neck, and the blood was bubbling and gushing out continuously.

He seemed to be dying, his eyes were wide open, and he kept whimpering, as if he was begging for help.

Zhu Gusheng was smiling all over his face, seemingly kind, but he just killed someone!
It would be hard to believe such a kind-hearted appearance if one hadn't seen it with one's own eyes!
With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked towards He Liang.

The other soldiers immediately drew their swords to face each other, but they heard He Liang's order: "Let him come over."

Zhu Gusheng seemed to be walking extremely slowly, he didn't even take a step, but with a distance of tens of feet, he came to He Liang in a few breaths.

"My lord, before you came, many people have disappeared using the roots of Wuxi wood."

"Disappeared? Has it disappeared or has already entered Hua Manqi?"

"Maybe. It's not necessarily dead!" Zhu Gusheng stroked his goatee and said with a smile.

"Old fox, stop playing charades here, and say, what did you find?"

"If you want to know whether those people are dead or alive, you only need to tie a rope to one person. After he disappears, we will follow the rope to find out the clues, and we will naturally know the truth."

"Come on! Bring the rope!"

"Yes!"
