Chapter 282
Wang Huishan took Li Jiang to the second floor and pointed to the room at the other end of the corridor.
Li Jiang nodded to show that he understood, waved him back, and then walked over quietly.
The door was not closed tightly, and only half of it was left open. Li Jiang observed the scene inside the room through the crack in the door.
The three men looked ugly and sat silently at the Eight Immortals Table, while Xiao Zhao walked around carrying a teapot to add water to them.
Haha, this is a shock!
Li Jiang felt funny in his heart, so he suddenly opened the door and walked straight into the house.
Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao, who were on both sides of the Eight Immortals table, turned their heads hurriedly and put on a defensive posture. When they saw it was Li Jiang, their spirits dropped and they relaxed.
Don't blame them for being nervous. They were not good at martial arts, so they really didn't hear Li Jiang's footsteps.
Zhang Wuji was facing the door but didn't raise his head. He had long recognized the sound of Li Jiang's footsteps, so he didn't care.
"Haha!" Li Jiang laughed and said: "What's wrong with you guys? They look like eggplants that have been beaten by frost!"
Only then did Xiao Zhao see the person clearly and said, "Consultant Li, I...wait a moment, I'll make you tea." After saying that, she hurriedly got into the inner room.
Yang and Wei refused to answer Li Jiang's question and both looked at Zhang Wuji.
Zhang Wuji instantly felt six eyes "piercing" his face like swords. He couldn't help but feel his face burning up, and said sarcastically: "Brother Li, we... I didn't listen to you. We went to visit Wan'an Temple first."
"Oh! What was the result?" Li Jiang asked with interest as if he didn't know, and he pulled out a stool and sat down to wait for Zhang Wuji's explanation.
Zhang Wuji heard Li Jiang ask about it and talked about the incident without much hesitation.
He first stated that he insisted on forcing Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao to go with him to visit Wan'an Temple at night.
Next is the specific process.
Li Jiang understood after listening for a while that the plot mentioned by Zhang Wuji was basically the same as in the original work.
Originally, they wanted to find out the situation, and they were basically successful, but Zhang Wuji happened to run into his benefactor Zhou Zhiruo, who was being threatened by Zhao Min.
Zhou Zhiruo was so cute, how could she be stabbed several times on the face, so Zhang Wuji couldn't bear it and took action angrily.
You don’t need to guess what happened next. The whole hall was in a fight.
The three of them were not harmed, and they all came out intact. However, the consequences were serious. When Zhao Min learned of the exposure, he not only strengthened the security of Wan'an Temple, but also raided the entire city for two days.
, it wasn’t until Li Jiang entered the city that he relaxed a little.
If the Dadu Intelligence Bureau hadn't done a good job in the past and hid it deeply enough, maybe the three of them would be implicated this time.
Speaking of this, Zhang Wuji asked distressedly: "Brother Li, what should we do now to scare the enemy?"
"Yeah." Li Jiang frowned, then relaxed quickly and said, "It's not that big of a problem. Tell me what you learned from your inquiry!"
When Zhang Wuji heard Li Jiang say there was no big problem, he immediately calmed down and was no longer a little anxious.
This all stems from his trust in Li Jiang, not only because they have been together for more than a year, but also during the more than half a year of working together in Mingjiao. In his heart, Brother Li seems to be omnipotent and nothing can be difficult.
Down him.
"The Wan'an Tower has thirteen floors in total, and the six major sects are locked up on the top floors, one for each sect. They have all been infected with Shixiang Ruanjin Powder." Zhang Wuji spoke first.
"There are thirty-six bands of monks surrounding Wan'an Pagoda. There are also several hundred yuan soldiers on the outside, all with bows and arrows on their backs." Yang Xiao continued.
"Zhao Min is guarding the backyard of Wan'an Temple, and he is guarded by the two elders Xuan Ming." Wei Yixiao added.
Li Jiang grasped the key point and asked, knowingly: "What is Shixiang Ruanjin Powder?"
"Shixiang Ruanjin Powder can suppress internal strength and make a person with strong martial arts become like an ordinary person." Zhang Wuji explained.
"Can you prepare an antidote?" Li Jiang asked.
Zhang Wuji shook his head and said, "I don't know the original recipe, so I can't prepare the antidote. But I know where the antidote is!"
"where?"
"One of the two elders of Xuan Ming brings the poison, and the other brings the antidote."
"How did you know?"
"Ha, I forgot to mention it just now. Li Dake, our Mingjiao has internal support in Prince Ruyang's Mansion."
"who?"
"Kudutuo. Oh, you don't know, he is Fan Yao, the right envoy of Mingjiao Xiaoyao!"
"Oh, we finally found him. Then why did he lurk in Ruyang Prince's Mansion?"
"Consultant Li, let me tell you this question." Yang Xiao took over Li Jiang's words and told Fan Yao's story with pride.
This is a slightly sad but very inspiring story. It is said that there was a handsome, high-ranking man. After the leader of the church suddenly disappeared, he was unhappy that the Ming sect fell into fragments and struggled for power, so he secretly became ambitious and insisted on
Find out the reason why the leader disappeared.
After wandering around in the world for several years, he finally learned that the disappearance of the leader seemed to be inextricably linked to King Ruyang of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. So he disfigured himself, disguised himself as a mute and joined the palace as a servant.
But if Zhui Chu was in the bag, he would stand out. Within two years, he was promoted to the palace guard. When Princess Zhaomin grew up, King Ruyang sent him to protect the princess.
Because he was mute and could not talk nonsense, he was highly valued by the princess and made him his confidant.
The news about Shixiang Ruanjin Powder was sent to Mingjiao at his risk last night.
After hearing this, Li Jiang expressed his admiration and regret. He regretted that he had arrived a day late and had missed the chance to meet the envoy.
Yang Xiao and Yourong Yan clasped their fists to thank Consultant Li for the praise on behalf of Fan Yao.
After the story was told, everyone turned back to the most critical issue of this operation, which was how to obtain the antidote to Shixiang Ruanjin Powder.
If there is an antidote, the monks under the tower and the archers outside are not worth mentioning.
You must know that the people locked up in Wan'an Tower are not ordinary people, they are either the leaders of each faction or the elites of each faction. If they can recover, the tiger will come out. A few hundred people are really not enough for them to fight.
However, it is not easy to obtain the antidote from the two elders Xuan Ming. Fighting alone, neither of them is Zhang Wuji's opponent, not to mention the addition of Li Jiang.
The trouble is that they are like two turtles now, determined to hide in Wan'an Temple and not come out. Of course, the Mingjiao people can rush in to find them, but there are too many guards in Wan'an Temple, so the four Mingjiao people can only be surrounded.
The most fearful thing is that if Zhao Min fails to succeed, the Wan'an Tower will be destroyed by fire.
Therefore, despite being thrown into a trap, the four of them still felt that they could only outwit but not be able to defeat the enemy.
Li Jiang held his chin and pondered for a while: "Do you think that if Zhao Min leaves Wan'an Temple, will the two elders Xuan Ming follow her?"
Yang Xiao's eyes lit up and he said: "They are Zhao Min's personal guards, they will definitely come out." Then he frowned and said: "But Zhao Min has been living in Wan'an Temple during this time, how could she come out?"
Li Jiang waved his hand and said with great force: "Don't worry about it. The mountain people have their own tricks. Just make a plan and ambush the two elders Xuan Ming."
