Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 417
The man surnamed Zhou asked, "What's wrong, Senior Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Zifeng frowned and said: "I always feel that something is wrong, but what is wrong with it, I can't think of it for a while, the whole thing is full of weirdness."

"What's weird?"

Zhang Zifeng was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Think about it carefully, Zheng Wei met with them frequently, not just once. Since they have met so many times, why did they hand over the ciphertext? Isn't this superfluous? Is there anything wrong? Say it face to face? You have to exchange letters, as if deliberately leaving evidence?"

"Also, Junior Brother Wu has followed Zheng Wei before, and there is a disciple of Qi Refining guarding outside the cave. Junior Brother Zhou, please see if this person is Tangning who has changed his appearance." Zhang Zifeng pulled out a portrait: "This is The image of the disciple from outside the cave that Junior Brother Wu had previously drawn."

The man surnamed Zhou took it and took a look: "That's right, it's him."

Zhang Zifeng said, "That's strange. Zheng Wei stayed in that cave for three full days, and Tangning stayed outside the cave for these three days. So who really met Zheng Wei?"

"With Tangning's identity, he is guarding the door. The person inside must be Tong Quan'an. If it was Tong Quan'an, Junior Brother Wu would have been discovered long ago. Now that someone is following him, how dare Zheng Wei return to the sect as if nothing happened. to meet again?"

"Besides, why does this Jiang Yuhuan appear there? There has always been a clear division of labor among various departments in the Taoist sect, each performing its duties. Tangning is in the intelligence department, so it is only natural for him to contact Zheng Wei."

"But Jiang Yuhuan is a member of the Forbidden Secret Department, why is he joining in the fun? Even if he wants to contact Zheng Wei, there is no need for two people to come."

"In a high-level secret operation like this, one more person who knows the identity will be more exposed. Why would a person from the Forbidden Secret Department get involved in intelligence matters? Isn't it strange?"

"Furthermore, what happened to Zhang Qian's death? Who caused the trouble in the Han family's gambling house? Earlier we inferred that it was the work of an infiltrator. Then the spy was Tangning. Why did he do this?"

"Unless Zhang Qian's death and the Han family gambling house had nothing to do with him, these are all coincidences, but is it possible?"

"Let's sort it out again. Zhang Qian was killed by an unknown person, and there was a disturbance in the Han family's gambling house. Then Zheng Wei left the sect to deal with the Han family's gambling house, and then met Tang Ning at Mingxia Peak."

"It all seems to be a thread. The cultivator who caused the disturbance in the Han Family Gambling Workshop is a Qi Refining Level [-] practitioner, and the person Tangning pretended to be is also a Qi Refining Level [-] level cultivator. The Han Family Gambling Workshop is under the jurisdiction of Zheng Wei."

"Do you think there is such a coincidence in this world?"

The man surnamed Zhou pondered, "It is possible to connect Tangning with the people who caused trouble in the Han family gambling house. Then, is his purpose of making trouble in the gambling house to contact Zheng Wei? After all, their communication channels have just been destroyed by us. It is through this method to get in touch with Zheng Wei again, this may be their reserved emergency contact plan."

"Using this method to regain contact?" Zhang Zifeng pondered: "It's not impossible."

The man surnamed Zhou immediately said: "There is another point of proof. After Zheng Wei received help from the Han family, he only went to the gambling house once, and there was no news after that. It means that he already knew who the troublemaker was, otherwise Will definitely continue to investigate.”

Zhang Zifeng pondered: "If they really got in touch through this method, then why did they keep meeting frequently after the first time. Since Zheng Wei knew the news leaked, he would definitely be on guard. How dare he go in and out of the sect many times? And it’s too unreasonable to stay for several days.”

"This matter is full of weirdness, I have to think about the key."

The man surnamed Zhou said, "We saw with our own eyes that he took the ciphertext from Tangning's hand and resisted arrest. Collusion with the Taoist sect is a certainty. What doubts do you have, Senior Brother Zhang?"

"There are too many doubts about this matter, I suspect it may be a trap." Zhang Zifeng said slowly.

He has always been detached from the whole incident, controlling the progress of the matter from the perspective of a cold-eyed onlooker. As the so-called authorities are confused by the bystanders, it is precisely because he has not directly participated in this matter that he has detected a trace of strangeness from various unusual signs.

As soon as he finished speaking, the storage bag at his waist trembled. Zhang Zifeng took out the array disk, fiddled with it slightly, and a talisman floated into the room, and was caught in his hand with a wave of his hand. Spiritual consciousness was injected, and a voice sounded in his mind.

"Who is it?" the man surnamed Zhou asked

"Junior Brother Luo is back." Zhang Zifeng said.

Not long after, a man came in from the outside, and saw a man surnamed Zhou with a slight joy on his face. The two could be regarded as brothers and sisters who fled in embarrassment. Now that they are able to meet each other alive, they both have a sense of survival after a catastrophe.

"Senior brother Zhou is worthy of being the disciple of Master Hou, the leader of the Corpse Puppet Sect, who managed to escape from Jiang Yuhuan's hands. I saw him chasing you straight away, and I was worried that you would be killed!"

The man surnamed Zhou smiled wryly and shook his head: "I tried my best to escape, but Junior Brother Luo is full of energy and radiant, it seems that it didn't take much effort. Could it be that Tangning didn't chase you?"

The man surnamed Luo said: "He didn't chase me, he turned around and went to deal with Senior Brother Wu and Senior Brother Zhang. They must have... Hey! The most hated thing is Zheng Wei, the bastard. If I meet him again next time, I will kill him with my own hands." Thieves, I hate you with snow."

Zhang Zifeng said: "Junior Brother Luo thinks that Zheng Wei deliberately lured our people there?"

The man surnamed Luo frowned and said, "That's hard to say. Gan Yizong dispatched two good men, a bit on the sidelines, just waiting for us to show up. But it doesn't make sense to say that they are going to ambush us specially. What if we A large number of people have been dispatched, or the senior uncles have been invited. Wouldn't they have thrown themselves into the trap?"

"I think it might have been unintentional. For safety reasons, Qian Yizong sent Tang Ning to contact him, and then asked Jiang Yuhuan to help him. It happened that we were following Zheng Wei, so we handed over to him. hand."

The man surnamed Zhou said: "Just now I was discussing this matter with Senior Brother Zhang. Senior Brother Zhang thinks this matter may be a trap, so maybe Zheng Wei is not a Taoist spy."

The man surnamed Luo was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief, "How is this possible? It's not a secret work of the Taoist sect. Why did he meet with the disciples of the Taoist sect in such a hidden place in private? Not to mention that he, Tangning and Jiang Yuhuan were united in fighting against each other. The surveillance team arrested him. The murders of Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Sun, and Senior Brother Zhang are directly related to him."

Zhang Zifeng pondered and said: "I just think this incident is too weird and unreasonable. If something is abnormal, there must be a monster. There must be something behind it that we don't know."

The man surnamed Luo said: "Something went wrong, what's wrong?"

Zhang Zifeng is about to repeat the deduction just now.

The man surnamed Luo said: "These are just intentional guesses. They may have important matters when they meet frequently. Is it surprising? Although Jiang Yuhuan is not in the intelligence department, he is also a disciple of Qian Yizong and is highly valued by the higher-ups. Let me help you." Tangning is acting strange."

"We saw him and Tangning meet in private. The two exchanged information and fought against the monitoring team. They have already been stolen. Isn't that enough to prove that he is a secret agent?"

Zhang Zifeng was silent for a while and said: "Junior brother Zhou, you go to find out about Zheng Wei's situation and see if he has gone to Yizong? I want to report this matter to the master."

"Okay." The man surnamed Zhou replied.

The three of them went out of the cave, and each disappeared into light.

………………

Qianyizong, Xuanhua Peak, within the cave.

Zheng Wei closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the futon, when he heard footsteps outside, he opened his eyes, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Outside the door, a handsome man pushed the door and entered with a slight smile on his face. It was Tangning.

When Zheng Wei saw him, his expression changed slightly. He could laugh and talk in front of others, pretending to be nonchalant, but in front of the chief culprit who framed him and ended up in such a situation, he really couldn't talk and laugh freely.

"How is it? It's not bad here!" Tangning said as she sat down without waiting for him to invite her.

Zheng Wei said coldly: "What do you think! Isn't this all thanks to you? The fish in the pond, the bird in the cage, it's up to you whether it's good or not."

Tangning smiled slightly and said, "Don't be so resentful. It's not good for others to know about it. Some people want to be a fish in a cage, but they can't get it. Even if they lose their freedom, at least they can save their lives, right?"

Zheng Wei's pupils shrank when he heard his words: "When are you going to kill me?"

"It depends on your own wishes. When do you want to die?"

"What if I don't want to die?" Zheng Wei's voice was low, like a wounded beast.

"Then you don't have to die."

Zheng Wei was stunned: "Can you represent Gan Yizong?"

"I was ordered by the head to talk to you, what do you think?"

"What do you need me to do?" Zheng Wei knew that now he was a fish on the board and didn't have any capital to negotiate. Gan Yizong must need himself to keep him.

"As long as you are obedient and obedient, you will always be a disciple of Qianyi Sect. You know the rules of this sect, and you will not kill a sect disciple for no reason. You will get a lot of everything you deserve, here." Tangning Pointing to the surrounding stone walls: "It's your palace."

"Is that all?" Zheng Wei was taken aback for a moment, thinking that they had something important to do by themselves, but he didn't think it was just that, it was beyond his expectation.

Tang Ning nodded and said, "That's all. If you are not satisfied with this place, you can change it, or renovate and decorate it, decorate all the pavilions, pavilions, gardens and waterside pavilions. You have all the control rights here, but ..."

"It's just here, when you get out of this cave, there is hell outside. As long as you step out of here, you will no longer have the status of a disciple of the sect, understand?"
