In the night, Mu Yi followed Guisan to a garden built on the mountain. The buildings of the Tu people were actually not much different from those of the Han people. This garden was obviously a bit old, but it did not look old.
It has an added sense of history.
Guisan led Mu Yi into the garden without any obstruction, and invited Mu Yi to a special room for guests. Then he apologized to Mu Yi and left in a hurry. Obviously he was going to find E Gui. After all, Mu Yi
Yi things are too important.
Mu Yi was not in a hurry, sat down on the chair and waited quietly.
This time he did not bring Nian Nuer and Da Nuer, but came alone. It was not that he was worried about any danger, but it was just inconvenient to bring two people with him for this kind of thing.
Mu Yi didn't wait for too long when he heard a rush of footsteps, and then two people walked in from the outside. The first one looked like he was in his fifties. Behind him was Guisan. Although Guisan
Although he had changed into black clothes, his eyes and aura could not be hidden from Mu Yi.
Compared to Guisan's excitement, E Gui was more calm. After he came in, he looked directly at Mu Yi without saluting or speaking.
Mu Yi also did not speak, but looked at him. For a moment, the scene was a little stagnant. Behind him, Guisan was a little anxious, but he couldn't say anything.
"I wonder where the flag-bearer's token is?" Finally, E Gui took the lead to break the stagnation. He stared at Mu Yi closely. Although he was calm on the surface, it could be seen from his inadvertently trembling fingers that his heart was
He was not as calm as he appeared.
"E Gui takes the order."
Mu Yi said and threw the token, and in mid-air, the Suzaku came out of the fire again. Finally, the token drew a trace and stopped in front of E Gui, floating quietly in front of him.
Looking at the token, the calmness on E Gui's face finally collapsed. He stretched out his hands in excitement and lowered his head slowly, "Master of Tu Que Hall, E Gui takes the order."
As soon as he finished speaking, the token fell into his hand. E Gui was seen holding the token almost like a pilgrim, and then knelt down.
"E Gui has seen the flag bearer."
"Guisan has seen the flag bearer."
Guisan behind him also knelt down at the same time. Now with the old hall master's confirmation, the token is no longer fake. In other words, the person in front of him is the real flag bearer.
Of course, neither E Gui nor Guisan regarded Mu Yi as the flag bearer. The main reason was that Mu Yi was too young. At this age, his strength was naturally not that high. It was difficult to be an envoy, let alone the flag bearer.
make.
The flag bearer they worshiped was not actually Mu Yi, but the token and the person behind it.
Mu Yi did not correct the two of them. He had no intention of directly revealing his identity from the beginning. Even if the position of Suzaku Flag Bearer was to be found, he could only figure it out slowly and not in a hurry.
"Very good, it seems you haven't forgotten your identity yet." Mu Yi nodded and said.
"My subordinate has never forgotten his identity and has been waiting for the return of the flag bearer. Now I finally let him wait." E Gui said excitedly.
"Very well, your loyalty will definitely be rewarded, but I have a task for you when I come here this time." Mu Yi said directly.
"E Gui listens to the order." When he heard that there was a mission, E Gui's expression suddenly became serious.
"The person in this portrait will come to Laosicheng on the fifth day of May. Maybe he is hiding here now. No matter what the cost, you must find him." Mu Yi took out a portrait from his arms.
He found someone to draw it based on his memory. I can't say it's lifelike, but it's at least 70% to 80% similar.
As long as Li Laizi shows up, he will definitely be recognized, not to mention that he also has a distinctive feature, that is, his lame leg.
"yes!"
E Gui said immediately without any hesitation.
"Okay, you guys are up. I know you have a lot of questions, and I can answer some of them." Mu Yi handed the portrait to E Gui, and also took the token back. If it weren't for this token, he would not be here now. It was definitely a lot more troublesome, but now I have undoubtedly saved myself a lot of unnecessary trouble.
With the help of the entire Tuque Hall, as long as Li Laizi comes, Mu Yi believes that he will not be able to escape.
"Master Envoy, I wonder where the flag bearer is now?" E Gui asked with hope on his face after standing up.
"How can you find out about the flag bearer's whereabouts?" Mu Yi glanced at E Gui. At this glance, he used his mental power.
At that moment, E Gui felt as if he was being targeted by a savage beast, and even the air around him froze. He could hardly breathe, and his whole body was wrapped in thick fear.
Fortunately, this feeling only passed away in a flash, but even so, E Gui gasped for air, and when he looked at Mu Yi, his eyes were no longer contemptuous, and huge waves arose in his heart.
E Gui can be the leader of a hall, so his strength is naturally not weak. If divided by the level of Jianghu, he is also a first-class state. However, the Tu people are good at the art of witchcraft, so the specific strength is difficult to classify, but he is definitely not weak. .
But just now, he had a feeling that his life and death were not under his control, and the source was the young man in front of him. Naturally, he couldn't calm down in his heart.
Guisan behind him, on the other hand, didn't notice anything. He was just a little curious as to why his hall master's breath was unstable and his body was trembling. Because the time was not right at the moment, he could only suppress the questions in his heart.
"It was E Gui who overstepped his bounds. Please punish me, the envoy." E Gui said immediately after he regained consciousness.
"It's the first time, forget it, but don't worry, the flag bearer will soon return to the throne and lead the south." Mu Yi glanced at E Gui and said.
After hearing Mu Yi's words, countless thoughts ran through E Gui's mind. The flag bearer returned to the throne. In just one sentence, a lot of things were revealed. Perhaps this flag bearer is no longer the flag bearer in the past. Regarding this, , E Gui had actually expected it. If it hadn't been for an accident, the flag bearer wouldn't have failed to show up for so many years.
Fortunately, although Tuquetang is loyal to the Suzaku Flagbearer, it is not just that. There is a gang leader above the Flagbearer, and that is the real master.
However, the gang leader mysteriously disappeared that year, and then there was the war that caused the Ear Gang to fall apart. The Ear Gang fell into despair and completely turned into darkness, waiting for the opportunity to rise again. Now that the world is in chaos, it is the best time.
Although Laosicheng is located in a remote place, it is not sealed off from the outside world. Even the chieftain king here has professed his vassalage to the current imperial court. However, because of its special status, the Tujia people also have their own king.
"Tugutang is always waiting for the call of the flag bearer to return to his command." E Gui said immediately.
"Don't worry, this day won't be far away. Remember the mission I gave you, and notify me immediately when there is news." After Mu Yi finished speaking, he disappeared out of thin air, making E Gui and Guisan widen their eyes at the same time. It wasn't until E Gui called a few more times without a response that the two of them were sure that the envoy had really left.
"Hall Master, is that envoy true?" Guisan couldn't help but ask.
"With the token as proof, it's true." E Gui glared at Guisan, then sat down on a chair, but at this moment he no longer had the excitement just now, and his face even looked a little gloomy.
"Then we..." Guisan said and looked around, but did not dare to say the next words.
"Guisan, you are also an old man from Tuquetang. Have you forgotten your original oath?" E Gui said coldly.
"I dare not forget that once I join the Er Gang, I will be a member of the Er Gang for the rest of my life." Guisan immediately said in a hurry.
"Well, just remember. Although the Ear Gang is divided, it's only on the surface. Do you know why no one has dared to directly betray the Ear Gang in so many years? Even if some people leave in despair, if one day,
If the gang leader reappears, they must return without hesitation." E Gui said slowly.
"This, my subordinates don't know." Guisan shook his head. After all, he was only a member of Tuquetang, and he was still far from the real top of the Er'er Gang.
"The Ear Gang has a total of seventy-two halls, distributed all over the world. This is the inner side of the Ear Gang on the surface, but above the Ear Gang, there are still twenty-four. This is the secret power of the Ear Gang, and it is also the real elite."
"The Seventy-two Halls are responsible for inquiring about information, while the Twenty-four Halls are used for killing. Even in legends, there is a mysterious force beside the gang leader. Whenever someone dares to betray the Ear Gang, no matter where you hide, this mysterious force will
They will kill you, no exception."
"The Ear Gang's loyalty is never just words."
E Gui shook his head when he said this, with a trace of recollection and even a trace of fear on his face.
Hearing his hall master's words, a flash of fear flashed across Guisan's face.
"But the Flag Bearer has been missing for so many years. There are rumors that the Flag Bearer is dead. Otherwise, the people of the White Tiger Flag Bearer would not dare to boldly devour the power of our Suzaku Flag Bearer. Even we have been attracted so much.
Many times." Guisan couldn't help but said.
"The previous generation of flag bearer may have died, but the flag bearer's token appears, don't you know what it means?" E Gui shook his head and said.
"Is it the new flag bearer?" Guisan's eyes widened immediately.
"Every dynasty changes, let alone the flag bearer. It's a pity. It would have been better if the flag bearer could have appeared three years earlier." E Gui sighed and said.
"Why three years earlier? Is it too late now?" Guisan asked puzzledly.
"It's too late. The White Tiger Flagbearer has long been established. Unless the gang leader reappears, it is probably difficult for the Vermilion Bird Flagbearer to regain his power. Perhaps from now on, we, the Vermilion Bird Flagbearer, will become the weakest.
That’s it.” E Gui said.
"So what if it's a weakness? Anyway, our Tuquetang rarely interacts with those people. We just need to guard our own territory." Guisan said immediately.
"It would be nice if it were that simple. I'm afraid that from now on, our Tuque Hall will no longer be peaceful." After E Gui finished speaking, he handed the portrait to Guisan, "No matter what happens in the future, but now since the flag bearer
If there is an order, we at Tuqiao Hall will naturally do our best to complete it. You immediately give the order, activate all hidden lines, pay attention to this person, and be sure to find him before the fifth day of May." (To be continued)
