Chapter 280: Arriving at the shifting wood Palace (1)

“Why did he steal the grain? As the ninth elder of the shifting wood Palace, he shouldn’t be lacking in money. ” Zhuang Qiyang asked in confusion. “I don’t know about this. You can ask him.” Master Yun shook his head. “That’s not right. You’re also an inner elder. Even if he’s the ninth elder, he’s not much stronger than you. Why do you have to listen to him?” Tang Wen asked. “Yes, the elder Council is usually formed by seven elders. The ninth elder is not qualified to join the elder Council of the shifting wood Palace. He’s indeed not much stronger than you, so why did you listen to him?” Zhuang Qiyang was surprised and looked at Tang Wen. “He is stronger than me. He is in charge of the mountain protection Hall. My whole family lives on the mountain. How could I dare to disobey him?” Medicine master Yun said hurriedly. However, Tang Wen found that this petite man was nagging. Furthermore, there was another shadow in the human qi. It was definitely not ding kui. It was someone else. “You’re not being honest. ” Tang Wen said. “I didn ‘T. I really didn’ t.” Medicine master Yun quickly shouted. “There must be some other reason. Are you afraid of ding kui’s backer?” Tang Wen said. “What kind of backing does he have?” Medicine master Yun shook his head. “It’s the second elder!” Tang Wen suddenly roared like a lion. “No!” Medicine master Yun blurted out. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, medicine master Yun finally reacted and immediately lowered his head. “If it wasn’t the second elder, then who was it? Say it, say it properly. Otherwise, your whole family will go to hell. ” Zhuang Qiyang was also shocked. He looked at Tang Wen and asked. “Third elder sun long. Sun long has always been protecting him. How could I dare to resist?” Said apothecary Yun. “Drag him away and apply the medicine.” Zhuang Qiyang waved his hand after apothecary Yun signed and signed. Then, sun hongqing and a dozen of his trusted aides were escorted onto the stage. When they saw medicine master Yun’s confession and the instruments of torture at the side, the dozen or so people who were greedy for pleasure poured out beans and confessed everything. “Who drugged the soldiers on the ship?” Tang Wen asked. “The medicine was given by medicine master Yun. It was yang Xiaoqian and I who got off the ship.” Sun hongqing’s face was ashen. “Why didn’t you poison him to death at once?” Tang Wen asked. “I’m not sure either. It was medicine master Yun’s instructions. He said there’s no need to poison it to death, or else the impact would be too great. ” Sun hongqing said. He sent someone to check with medicine master Yun again, and medicine master Yun explained that it was ‘ding Mei’ who told him to do so. “It’s normal to have such an explanation. Otherwise, if all the officers and soldiers were poisoned to death by you, our six Fan School would definitely investigate the case.” Zhuang Qiyang said. “I’m afraid there’s more to it. ” Tang Wen said. “Why do you say that?” Zhuang Qiyang asked. “That’s because their target was the then – Grain inspector, Wang bingfeng.” Tang Wen sneered. “What a joke. How powerful can a mere food inspector like the chief Bureau be? He’s just a seventh – rank official, and his martial arts aren’t that good. Why would the shifting wood Palace target him? If they really wanted to target him, they could just send someone to solve the problem. Robbing the government’s provisions is a serious matter, and it will cost nine generations of your family. ” Zhuang Qiyang snorted. “That’s because Wang bingfeng is Lord Tang’s brother – in – Law. ” Feng jiuxue said. “Was it directed at you, Lord Jue?” Zhuang Qiyang was stunned. “Indeed,” Tang Wen nodded. “Hehe, what grudges do you have with the shifting wood Palace? With Lord Jue’s character, the shifting wood Palace would not resort to stealing grain to plot against your brother – in – Law. What do they intend to do? Why don’t I just attack you? Don’t tell me you still have the strength to resist?” Zhuang Qiyang raised his eyebrows and asked with a slightly scornful smile. “Deputy commander Zhuang, don’t underestimate Lord Jue. He has three island Masters. He had more than ten thousand men under him. “He’s doing big business, spending a lot of money in one go. He even has a rank -2 subordinate. He even subdued Liang zizhai. ” Feng jiuxue said sarcastically. “Hehe, to fight against the shifting wood Palace in this aspect is like throwing an egg at a rock.” Zhuang Qiyang laughed. “I have nothing to do with the wood shifting Palace. That’s because of the Linghai Academy.” Tang Wen shook his head and said. “Linghai Academy? what does an Academy have to do with you?” Zhuang Qiyang seemed to be interested. “It’s a long story. Some time ago, I went to the Linghai Academy ...” Tang Wen didn’t hide anything and told him everything. “From what you’re saying, it’s the work of the Linghai Academy and the ninth elder of the shifting wood Palace, ding kui. “After Wang bingfeng fell, they turned their attention to your sister, Tang Yiyi. That’s why I pretended to be a ghost and whipped your sister. According to what you’ve just said, Vice Governor Kang is also involved in this matter. ” Zhuang Qiyang said. ” 80%! Therefore, ding kui had to be captured. Besides, I don’t care about the grudges between me and the Linghai Academy. He’s at least the mastermind behind the grain robbery. ” Tang Wen said. “Alright, I’m very interested. Let’s make a trip to the shifting wood Palace.” Zhuang Qiyang slammed the table and said. In the afternoon, they received a report from the front that they had found some food. It was actually hidden in a cave not far from jiudao liangwan. The cave was on the bank of the Red River, but it was quite strange. From a distance, the entrance of the cave was only a meter away from the river. It was covered with vines, so it was undetectable. Once a person bent down to enter, the inside would be wide open. Sun hongqing and the others spread the small boat on the water and bent down to pass the grain in. In this way, all the food was hidden in the cave in just a few hours without anyone knowing. The vines were put down, and it was unpredictable. Therefore, the soldiers searched for a long time, but they did not expect the food to be right under their eyes. After some calculations, they found that the six to seven hundred thousand taels of grain were basically all there, and only a small portion was lost. In order not to alert the enemy, Zhuang Qiyang did not touch the grain and asked people to guard it in secret. Early the next morning, the group of people set off for the shifting wood Palace. The shifting wood Palace was one of the ten great sects within ocean saint’s territory. It was extremely powerful and had over ten thousand disciples. The sect’s encampment was at the “Harbor Mountain,” which was 50 kilometers away from Red River City. At 10 am, Tang Wen and the others arrived at the harbor Mountain. The harbor Mountain wasn’t very high, only about five to six hundred meters. From afar, it was an endless mountain range that stretched for dozens of miles from east to west. There were lush green trees everywhere, and the shifting wood Palace was stationed on the highest mountain. As they moved up the mountain, they also built a mountain path that was about twenty feet wide. It was also paved with a combination of gravel, hard mud, glutinous rice, lime, and clay. The hardness was not bad, and the dust was much less. If they wanted to take a shortcut up the mountain, they would have to take a small path with stone steps, which could shorten the distance by half. When he was about to reach the shifting wood Palace, he was stopped by the disciples guarding the mountain. Zhuang Qiyang showed his token, and the disciples quickly went inside to report. Soon, the mountain Gate opened and Zhuang Qiyang led his men up. Clang clang clang ... A Bell rang from within the shifting wood Palace. When Tang Wen and the others arrived, there were thousands of martial artists standing outside the palace. Some of them carried sabers, while others carried handguns. They were divided into two rows, which stretched for a mile. A tall and thin man stood in front of the palace gate. His wide black cape fluttered in the wind. He was the chief supervisor of the shifting wood Palace, Zhang Li. “Hehehe, vice commander Zhuang’s presence brings light to the shifting wood Palace.” Zhang Li greeted him with a smile from afar. “I have something to discuss with the palace Lord, is he here?” Zhuang Qiyang said. “Not here! The palace Master hasn’t returned yet, but the great elder is here. Please come in. ” Zhang Li extended his hand and led Zhuang Qiyang to the main hall. “You guys wait outside. Tang Wen and Feng jiuxue will come in with me.” Zhuang Qiyang said. Naturally, Tang Wen and Feng jiuxue followed him into the palace. As for Zhang Li, he didn’t care about Tang Wen at all. Although he was wearing the title of Lord, it wasn’t strange that six Fan School also had disciples with noble titles. After entering the main hall, the floor was paved with bluestone, and the four walls were inlaid with flowers and plants. Even the wall behind the hall was inlaid with a strange tree. Tang Wen didn’t know what the tree was, but it was quite strange.
