MTL - I Have Unparalleled Comprehension-Chapter 138 The real purpose of the veiled woman (8000)

  Chapter 138 The real purpose of the veiled woman (8000)

   This slap was very loud, especially harsh in this dark courtyard. Tong Fuling touched his face, already stunned.

  He was suddenly stimulated by this, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. After all, the slap was so abrupt that he kept this posture for a long time.

  Why did Xu Bai appear here, and why did the wooden box lose its effect?

  In fact, all this is very simple, because the wooden box is cleverly used.

  As early as when Steward Chen passed by with the wooden box in his arms, Xu Bai heard the sound of the mechanism beating in the wooden box.

  Fourth-rank Sanren, if you can't even hear this, how can you be worthy of this title?

   If the martial artist is less than the second rank, the true energy cannot come out through the body, but it does not mean that other professions do not have this function.

  Xu Bai is not a martial artist, nor is his true vitality.

   Ingenuity and the like can be manipulated from a distance, otherwise, how can it be possible to make some mechanisms?

  The only difference is that those who make the machine are more familiar with it.

  To make a very simple analogy, two people know the skill of ingenuity, one of them has made a skill, and it is very difficult for the other to control it, because the person who made the ingenuity is more familiar with it.

  But Butler Chen is not clever.

  Xu Bai has full-level ingenuity.

  Compared with the two, everything seems logical.

   During the process of Steward Chen walking in front of Tong Fuling's door, Xu Bai had cracked the important things inside, preventing the wooden box from playing its role.

   Taking advantage of Tong Fuling's slap and before he could react, Xu Bai kicked Steward Chen away in front of him without being wordy.

   Steward Chen has lost his hands, but Xu Bai has no intention of keeping him, but wants to get rid of him immediately.

  The reason is also very simple. Since he was sent by the other party, the seeds must have been planted in his mind. If he wanted to ask something, it would have no effect at all.

  The most important thing is that Xu Bai doesn't know if Steward Chen will die if the seeds are triggered, will the other party know.

  He still has follow-up plans, so there shouldn't be any problems in this regard.

Steward Chen was kicked away by Xu Bai, screaming and flying into the air. At this moment, Xu Bai raised his other foot and kicked the wooden box into the air at the same time. Start with a bang.

   "Boom!"

  The moment the mechanism was triggered, the wooden box burst suddenly, and countless fragments exploded, piercing Chen Butler's whole body and killing him.

  The fragments were range-based attacks, and some of them flew towards Xu Bai and the others, but due to the distance, their power was greatly reduced, so they were easily stopped.

   "Shua!"

  The black knife is full of cracks and returns to the sheath.

  Xu Bai turned his head and looked at Tong Fuling with a mocking tone: "Do you understand now? Why did I slap you? Even if I slap you again now, you dare not stop me."

  Tong Fuling had already regained his strength, but after seeing the scene in front of him, he fell into a sluggish state again, standing in place for a long time like a rotten tree that could not move.

  If he still can't see the subtleties, it's impossible for him to be in his current position.

   Obviously, the other party just wanted to kill him, but why did he kill him? Perhaps all of this has something to do with Xu Bai.

  After all, from the perspective of Steward Chen's plan, his purpose was to frame Xu Bai, and he was just used as an excuse.

   "I was wrong." Tong Fuling finally lowered his head, with his hands hanging by his sides, he looked as if he had aged several years, and he had lost the previous arrogance.

  He often thinks that he is a scholar, so he looks down on these reckless Jianghu people, and Xu Bai himself was born in Jianghu people.

  So he also looked down on Xu Bai. As for the award, he just thought that Xu Bai had gotten lucky.

   "What's wrong?" Xu Bai continued to ask.

   "The mistake is that you shouldn't listen to slander and do things that violate the principles of scholars." Tong Fuling said with a bitter face: "Master Xu, if you want to kill or cut, it's up to you."

  He has already admitted his failure. If this matter is brought to His Majesty the Emperor, he will have no good fruit to eat at all, but since he has already done it, there is no room for redemption, so he can only choose to bear it silently.

   He is very clear about the consequences of listening to slanderous rumors, murdering court officials, and even going to the capital to receive rewards.

  Death is the lightest thing, maybe you will be put in a prison and suffer endless pain.

  Xu Bai smiled and said in a calm tone, "Actually, I don't want you to be severely punished, but all of this depends on whether you can pay off the crime."

   Tong Fuling was already prepared to meet Xu Bai's stormy attack, but after hearing these words, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

  He wondered if he heard it wrong, Xu Bai actually let the past go, and wanted to take the credit for the crime?

   "If you want to survive, just listen to my son, understand?" Ye Zi said with a cold face.

   "Understood! I understand!" Tong Fuling nodded his head like a cat: "I will definitely do what Master Xu said, as long as Master Xu gives me a chance."

   Now he finally understands that the man in front of him is not something he can offend, even with his temperament, he has really bowed his head now.

   King Shengyou asked him to bow his head, and now, Xu Bai also asked him to bow his head.

   "From now on, you are already dead." Xu Bai said abruptly: "According to the procedure, if the edict of a government is dead, how should we investigate?"

   Tong Fuling was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly realized what Xu Bai meant.

  Good strategy!

   This is to come up with a plan to draw out the real mastermind behind the scenes, and then follow the clues to get rid of the mastermind behind the scenes.

  Thinking about this point, Tong Fuling also began to answer one by one: "It depends on what kind of situation it is. For a situation like this, it is obvious that people from the Supervisory Department will investigate."

   "Very good." Xu Bai said: "Go and deal with it, by the way, why don't you even have people in this government office?"

   There was such a big commotion, but there was no sound, which made Xu Bai very puzzled.

   Tong Fuling was also at a loss. In this case, someone should have rushed over.

  His first wife has passed away, and his only son has been sent to the academy in Jiangnan Road, so there are all servants and government servants here.

   "Look for it." Xu Bai said.

   Several people began to search in the government office, and soon discovered that these people had been drugged with ecstasy in advance, and they all fell asleep.

After seeing that these people were fine, Xu Bai dispelled the doubts in his heart, and continued the previous topic, saying: "From now on, you follow your procedure, and I will continue to go back to the cell. charge,

  For example, the crime of murdering one’s life, of course, all of this must be done very carefully, only people you trust can do it, and you can’t even let the person who came over to supervise Tiansi know. "

  He has already thought about it, isn't everything the other party has done just to put the blame on him? Then let the other party blame it.

  Wouldn't it be nice to wait until the blame was set, and then see how the opponent made moves, and then fight back from it?

  He is not Qin Feng's kind of person, he can't even catch a fish, but he is a very good fisherman.

   "Okay!" Tong Fuling quickly agreed.

   This is a good opportunity for him to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, so he doesn't want to let it go.

  Xu Bai looked at it, it was getting late, so he turned his head and led Ye Zi towards the cell.

   Tong Fuling gritted his teeth, and finally began to follow Xu Bai's request.

  Although Xu Bai has arranged a general direction, he has to deal with the details. For example, to find a corpse with the same build as him, as long as it is a little bloody, like a wooden box.

   At this time, the night was getting deeper and deeper, and even the people who were on the watch were dozing off.

  The night is long, and time passes unknowingly until the next day.

  …

  The next day.

  Clay House Fryer is up!

  According to the news from the government office this morning, Tong Fuling, the head of the Taotu Mansion, was assassinated last night, and his body was beyond recognition.

   It is said that the assassin has also been found and is locked in a cell.

  As soon as this news came out, it was undoubtedly a blockbuster to the people in Tao Tu Mansion.

   After all, they are ordinary people, but now they hear such a powerful piece of news that everyone in Taotu Mansion is discussing this matter, whether it is after dinner or in the streets and alleys, the voices of discussion are becoming more and more frequent.

   "I heard that the murderer who was arrested was also an official of the imperial court."

   "I also heard that the murder happened because of the enmity between the two."

   "Our government decree is gone. It is estimated that the court will let a new person come over, and that person is still in prison. We must wait for the new person to come and then deal with him."

  …

   There were discussions in the streets and alleys, and among these ordinary people, there was an ordinary-looking person who was listening quietly. After listening, he did not stop and walked in one direction.

   This ordinary-looking man walked around the streets and alleys, and finally came to a hidden house.

  Looked back and forth from left to right, and the man pushed the door in after confirming that there was no tail.

  The room was pitch black, the windows were sealed, and in the corner of the room, a woman in light gauze was doing her hair.

   "Master, the plan has been successful." The man bowed respectfully and said.

  The woman in Qingsha heard the voice, put down the wooden comb in her hand, nodded, and said softly: "Okay, I see, now you understand why I didn't let you go to the government office last night?"

   "It's clear." The man said: "The woman next to Xu Bai has special skills in the soul. If I go, it will be easy to be discovered, so the master didn't let me go."

  He is very good at hiding. If it were normal, he would definitely have seen it with his own eyes, but suddenly there is a woman next to Xu Bai, and he has made achievements in spirit and soul. If he is discovered, all previous efforts will be wasted.

   "Hmm." The woman in Qingsha hummed softly, walking in front of this ordinary-looking man with a lazy taste.

  As she walked, her slender thighs rubbed against the veil, making a delicate sound.

   "Next, it's time to plan the next step."

   "This subordinate will send someone to assassinate Xu Bai in the cell." The man hurriedly said.

  Who knew this sentence was just finished? Not only did he not get the appreciation from the woman with light gauze, but instead he got a whole body of praise.

  "Nonsense, who told you to assassinate him?

  The man was stunned, apparently unable to react.

   If Xu Bai is not killed, is it still useful to keep him?

  If Xu Bai went to the capital smoothly, then the emperor would have another right-hand man. Wouldn't everything he had done before be for nothing?

   "If I wanted to kill him, why would I do these things? It took so much trouble, I just wanted someone of my own." The Qingsha woman picked up the long hair on her shoulders and gently wrapped it around her index finger.

   "Think about it carefully, Xu Bai is desperate now, his charges are almost confirmed, and his only way out is us."

   "As long as he is willing to join us and let me plant the seeds, then I will help him clear his identity. At that time, the important people around the emperor will be our people. Isn't this better than killing him directly?"

   Speaking of this, the Qingsha woman seemed to feel that her strategy was perfect, she couldn't help covering her mouth with her hands, and smiled softly.

man:"…"

  He also did not expect that the master would use such a decision, which is indeed unexpected.

   "Then... the master means that our next step is to save him instead?"

The Qingsha woman nodded and said: "Actually, I wanted to kill him at the beginning, but now I don't want to anymore. If you rescue him, he can only go with you. If he doesn't go, he will die. It's a road of no return."

   "Yes!" The ordinary-looking man nodded and said, "The villain will deal with it now."

  The woman in Qingsha waved her fair arm, telling him to do it quickly.

  After the man left, the Qingsha woman returned to the dressing table, looked at the face in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help showing a gentle smile.

   "Planting the seeds... Such a man should be very strong."

  Her legs were clamped, thinking secretly.

  …

  Everything that happens in this world will inevitably cause large or small turmoil, but all turmoil cannot match the passage of time.

  Time will never wait for anyone, no matter what happens to you, you will move forward non-stop.

  For a whole day, during the day, the entire Taotu mansion was constantly discussing, and the lively sound continued until night before it gradually disappeared.

  At night, the tranquility and serenity of the past was restored. Apart from the sound of the watch, there was no one else walking in the street.

  A solitary kitten, in the corner of the street, rummages through the remaining garbage.

  At this moment, the kitten suddenly raised its head and looked at a corner vigilantly, its hair all blown up.

  A dozen figures flitted across the street, dressed in black, with cloth covering their faces, and carrying various weapons in their hands.

   Walking around the deserted streets became their best cover, and they walked recklessly.

  Their goal is the government office, to be precise, Xu Bai in the cell.

  Xu Bai stayed in the cell, yawned, and leaned his head on Ye Zi's lap, letting Ye Zi hold his head.

  The Nameless Sword Sutra was picked up by the puppet of the fourth grade, just holding it at the parallel position of Xu Bai's line of sight, and the progress bar was slowly increasing.

The plan during the day was very successful. At this time, Tong Fuling had already hidden it, and found a death row prisoner in the cell, who was about the same shape as Tong Fuling, and made it into a riddled appearance. He had already deceived many people. people.

   As for the other details in the middle, Tong Fuling also did it perfectly, Xu Bai didn't bother to ask, after all, if he can't even do these things well, he is not qualified to be a government order.

   "My lord, let's go to bed early." Ye Zi brushed Xu Bai's forehead lightly with his hand, and bowed his head.

  The long black hair hangs down, just falling on Xu Bai's face, a little itchy.

  From Xu Bai's angle, he can only see Ye Zi's eyes. As for why he can't see the whole face, it's too big.

   "No need." Xu Bai stood up suddenly, staring at the corridor outside the cell.

  At this time, Ye Zi also noticed something, and subconsciously turned his head to look.

  In the dark corridor, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared.

   "It seems that in the middle of the night, many people still can't sleep." Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, and put his hand on the black knife.

   At this moment, the leader hurriedly said: "Master Xu, don't do anything, we are here to rescue you."

  Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.

  He thought that these people were here to ambush him again. After all, his plan had been spread, and someone would definitely come, but he didn't expect that the other party wanted to save him.

   "What do you mean?" Xu Bai asked.

  The leader saw that Xu Bai didn't make a move, heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Master Xu is already on the cliff, and there is no way out. If you stay here again, you may end up in a dead end, or just follow us."

   "Who are you?" Xu Bai frowned and asked, "Are you the ones who want to deal with me?"

  If you don’t kill him, but come to save him, you must first find out the identities of these people.

"To be honest, we can't bear to see Mr. Xu being so wronged." The leader made up a reason and said: "The people behind us have found some clues that can prove Mr. Xu's innocence, but before that , we need time, and Master Xu can't wait any longer, so let us take Master Xu away first."

  Xu Bai raised his eyebrows, but didn't speak.

   There are many things worth pondering about the reason given by the other party.

   There are two possibilities. First, the other party really told the truth, they were not the ones who robbed and killed him behind the scenes. Second, the other party was the one who intercepted and killed him, and they had another purpose.

  Xu Bai is more inclined to the second option. There is no other reason. He doesn't know anyone in Taotu Mansion, let alone the so-called relationship.

  What the leader said just now can be regarded as farting.

  But if it is the second possibility, what is the purpose of the other party doing these things?

   After thinking about it, Xu Bai suddenly thought of a possibility.

   Could it be that you want to pull yourself to the other side?

  The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

  Since the matter has already happened, it is better to follow the rhythm of the other party.

   "Open the door." Xu Bai said.

  Being so straightforward, the leader couldn't accept it.

  Xu Bai looked directly at this person, and said: "As you said, I am at the end of my rope, and you have a way to clear up my grievances, so why not if I follow you for a while?"

  The leader finally regained his strength and said, "Okay, then please Master Xu come out."

  The lock outside the door was smashed with a knife, and Xu Bai walked out from inside.

  After going out, he saw that the yamen servants in the corridor had fallen to the ground.

   "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we didn't kill them. After all, our purpose is to help Mr. Xu clear up his grievances." The leader said humanely.

  The master said that he had to do a full set of acting, if he killed those government servants now, it might arouse Xu Bai's suspicion.

  Xu Bai smiled and said, "Then please lead the way."

  The leader hesitated for a moment, looked at Ye Zi and the fourth-rank puppet, and said, "Master Xu, do you two want to follow?"

   "My son and I will not be separated. Wherever my son goes, I will go there?" Ye Zi stretched out his hand, took Xu Bai's arm, and said firmly.

  The leader looked at Xu Bai, and seeing that Xu Bai didn't speak, he obviously acquiesced.

  He hesitated for a moment, finally nodded and led the way.

  Before coming, the master had already told him that if these two people planned to follow, then let them follow.

  It was very dark outside, Xu Bai walked out of the cell, followed these people, and walked quickly along this street.

  After Xu Bai left, Tong Fuling walked out from a secret place.

  He took out a brush and wrote in mid-air.

   After a while, a map appeared in front of my eyes.

  There is a small light spot on the map, which is moving fast.

   "Huh..." Tong Fuling secretly said: "I never imagined that I, a dignified scholar, would also do this kind of stalking thing."

  At the beginning of the plan, Xu Bai told him to leave a traceable method on Xu Bai. If there is an abnormality at that time, the trace can be carried out through this method.

  No matter how you say it, Tong Fuling is also a fifth-rank scholar, which can be regarded as a combat power.

  Looking at the moving spot of light, Tong Fuling took out a face scarf, covered his face, and chased after the spot.

  …

   There was no communication along the way, Xu Bai followed behind them, bypassing various streets and alleys, and finally came to a secret room.

  Taotu Mansion is very large, and there are many houses like this. If it is screened, it will take a lot of time, and if there is too much movement, the other party may find a chance to leave, so Xu Bai did not do such a waste of time.

   "Master Xu, please come in." The leader pushed open the door and said.

  Xu Bai nodded, stood at the door and looked around, it was very dark inside, but he saw a graceful figure.

  Bringing the fourth-grade puppet and Ye Zi, under the leadership of the leader, walked directly into the room.

"Snapped!"

  Behind him, the door closed automatically without any wind.

  The next moment, Xu Bai moved his nose, as if he smelled a strange fragrance, but it was not particularly obvious.

  He looked over the darkness and saw the graceful woman in light veil.

   "Master Xu, the little girl Xiao Nuan is polite." Xiao Nuan slightly bent over, under the light veil, it was faintly visible.

  Xu Bai had a smile on his face, looked the woman up and down, and said: "They said, you have a way to clear up my grievances, how about now?"

   "They?" Xiao Nuan smiled slightly and said, "Master Xu, you may need to stay here for a few days, and I will naturally think of a way for you."

   "How long will it take?" Xu Bai asked.

   "Three to five days." Xiao Nuan replied gently.

   After speaking, she waved her hand lightly.

  The men in black left directly, leaving only Xu Bai and the others.

  Xiao Nuan came to the table and lit the oil lamp on the table. The light of the oil lamp illuminated the surroundings and dispelled the darkness.

  During this process, Xu Bai didn't care, but Ye Zi kept staring at this woman with a full face of wariness.

   Also as a woman, Ye Zi can perceive that this woman named Xiao Nuan looks as gentle as water, and looks like a lady, but there is a charm in her bones.

  Ye Zi herself was cultivated by the Ye family, so of course she knew very well that her feelings were true, so she became even more wary.

   "You are from the Ye family, right?" Xiao Nuan said suddenly: "I have heard that a woman from the Ye family has escaped, and she is still being looked for by the Ye family. It seems that you have run to Master Xu."

  Ye Zi didn't answer, and held Xu Bai's hand a little tighter.

  Of course Xu Bai could feel it, and said with a smile, "I feel very embarrassed now."

  It is really embarrassing. After being brought here for no reason, he said that he would live here for three to five days. Anyone would feel very embarrassed.

   "It only takes three to five days. If Mr. Xu can't clear up his grievances, you can take my head." Xiao Nuan walked to the door of a room seriously, and opened the door.

   "This is the residence I prepared for you, and it is all made according to the best standards."

  In the room, the facilities are very complete, whether it is from the furnishings of the furniture or the surrounding layout, they are very delicate.

  Xu Bai rubbed his chin, walked to the room, and lay directly on the bed.

  The faint fragrance still exists, which makes people feel very comfortable.

   "I'll just wait for three to five days." Xu Bai said.

   "Then I won't bother Mr. Xu." Xiao Nuan didn't have ink marks either, so she said goodbye, turned and left, and closed the door behind her.

   After she left, Ye Zi opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Xu Bai.

  Xu Bai came to the table next to him and sat down, poured out the water from the table, dipped his hands in the water, and wrote on the table.

  The meaning is very simple. It is safer to change this way of communication.

  Ye Zi also understood, came to sit next to Xu Bai, imitated Xu Bai, dipped in water, and wrote on it.

   "Young Master, why don't you do it?"

  Xu Bai wrote: "I haven't confirmed her identity, so I won't do anything."

  He is not a saint, it is impossible to predict everything, and it is impossible to be perfect. When the identity is not confirmed, if it is not the person behind the scenes, but really like what they said, it will be a shock.

  Ye Zi hummed lightly, and also understood Xu Bai's plan.

  Xu Bai looked at this quiet room, narrowed his eyes slightly, and took out the unknown sword scriptures to continue the progress bar.

  Since the other party wants him to wait for three or five days, let's see what will happen after three or five days.

  After Xiao Nuan closed the door, she left the room.

  After leaving, she walked out of the house again and wandered around in the street. After a while, she wandered to a hidden place, which was far away from the house.

  At this time, there was a sound of footsteps around, and the first dozen or so masked men in black appeared and said respectfully, "Master."

   "Very well done." Xiao Nuan said slowly.

  The leader asked, "Master, why don't you plant a seed for him now?"

   "He has poison skills. My medicine must be used slowly, and it will take three to five days." Xiao Nuan said slowly: "By the way, you have done a good job this time, and I must reward you."

  As soon as this sentence was said, more than a dozen masked men raised their heads at the same time, their eyes swept back and forth on Xiao Nuan, and their eyes showed fiery colors.

   "Heh... man." Xiao Nuan said, "Have you forgotten how I planted the seed? Now you are still as hungry as before."

  She slowly took off the veil, not caring at all that her body was exposed to the air.

  The dozens of masked men showed more and more fiery expressions, and at the same time, their eyes had turned red, and they were about to stretch out their hands a few steps forward.

   Seeds require a specific method.

   And this method is Xiao Nuan's body.

  In the beginning, Xiao Nuan used this method to accept these people one by one.

   She looked at the fiery eyes of this group of people, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

   When more than a dozen hands were about to approach, an abnormality suddenly appeared.

  The group of masked men in black all stopped, their eyes became dull, and they looked in Xiao Nuan's direction, with fear growing in their eyes.

  The seeds in their minds exploded.

  The men in black fell to the ground one by one, losing their breath of life.

   Only the leader was strong and persisted for a while.

  He was very puzzled. Looking at the gentle woman in front of him, his throat rolled, and he said a sentence: "Why, we are so loyal to you, but you want to kill us?"

  Xiao Nuan looked at the leader with a calm expression, her tone was as gentle as ever, as gentle as water: "Because... I hate living like this."

  The leader was taken aback for a moment, then pointed at Xiao Nuan, and said loudly, "You want to escape, but that's impossible, okay?"

"It was really impossible before, and I wanted to kill Xu Bai with all my heart, but now everything is possible." Xiao Nuan bent down, supported the leader's chin with her hand, and said softly: "As long as Xu Bai is in Xu Bai's mind Plant a seed in me and pretend to be that woman, and I can escape from this life forever."

   She stood up.

  The leader has passed away, and I can never hear her words anymore.

   But she was still talking, as if she was tireless, rambling on.

   "As for the woman next to Xu Bai, I will let her be me and die here forever. Then I will die forever, but I will change to another life."

   "What on earth are we planning for? The Great Chu Kingdom is so powerful that even if we spend a hundred years or a thousand years, it is impossible to shake it."

   "Instead of this, it is better to become one of them, get rid of the original identity, and live in peace forever."

   "From now on, I am the only one here, and no one will find out about my tricks."

  Youyou words came out of Xiao Nuan's mouth, she seemed a little tired of talking, turned around, and walked towards the darkness behind.

  In the dark alley, a sentence floated out slowly.

   "As long as he stays in that room for another three or five days, he will completely become my slave..."

   After a long time, there was no one in this alley.
