Chapter 8 Smoke
The alchemist bowed and said, "That minister has seen him on the pier and went ashore with several alchemists. When he got off the boat, he was still wearing the alchemist's clothes. Although there is no record of this person in the palace, I dare to guarantee that this person is an alchemist."
When he said this, Fang Shi paused for a moment. After secretly looking at the middle-aged woman's expression, the man continued to say, "And this Taoist priest is also full of white hair. It looks the same as Wu Mianyi."
When the alchemist said this, the middle-aged woman's face became a little excited. She stood up from the cushion, stared at the alchemist in front of her and said, "Do you think this person is also an immortal god?"
The alchemist lowered his body and said, "I am empty-handed, but someone has already checked the details of this person for me. Soon, news will come. Whether this person is the same immortal person as Wu Mian will naturally know at that time."
After nodding, the middle-aged woman said to the alchemist: "This matter must be done as soon as possible. I don't want to die in a few decades. You will have the whereabouts of the elixir of immortality. Remember the agreement between you and this palace, you don't have much time to leave."
After hesitating for a while, the alchemist gave a big gift to the middle-aged woman. Finally got up and left. After seeing the man walking three or four steps, his body suddenly disappeared out of thin air. The middle-aged woman had obviously seen the alchemist more than once. After watching the man leave with an expressionless face, the woman stood up and walked to a bronze mirror. She carefully looked at herself in the bronze mirror. After seeing a few undetectable wrinkles on her eyes, the woman sighed softly and said to herself: "Eternal life is just here, never old."
After saying that, the woman sighed slightly and held the bronze mirror on the table. Almost at the same time she held the bronze mirror down, the voice of the eunuch came from outside the bedroom: "Grand Sima, Lord Anhan Wang Mang was summoned to meet the Empress Dowager"
The middle-aged woman sat back on her cushion calmly, and then said to the eunuch outside the palace gate: "Please come in, Mr. An Han."
While Wang Mang went to the palace to pay homage to the empress dowager, an assassin suddenly appeared in his Grand Sima's mansion. These assassins did not expect that Wang Mang would not be in his mansion at this time. After rushing into Wang Mang's study, they only saw a white-haired man sitting here. At this moment, these assassins could not find Wang Mang and went to the white-haired man. After all, if this person could appear in Grand Sima's study, he must be Wang Mang's relatives and friends.
However, after taking action, the assassins discovered that the white-haired man in the study was actually a monk. After the magic was launched, dozens of assassins were killed and half of them were killed in an instant. Finally, with the assistance of the guards in the mansion, the remaining assassins were captured and locked in a private prison in the Grand Sima's mansion. Waiting for Wang Mang to come back from the palace and then fall.
Just as the assassin was captured, a man appeared out of thin air in an empty room next to the Grand Sima Mansion. As soon as the man stood still, a man's voice came from the corner of the room: "How is that person? Didn't he notice it?"
"It shouldn't be noticed. The dead soldiers were not exposed." The visitor owed the person in the corner and had seen the gift. Finally, the man continued: "The magic weapon hurt the man's little finger, and the blood stopped instantly. Judging from this, it is indeed a perfect physique."
After hearing what the visitor said, the man came out from the corner. The man was wearing a cloak, but he could clearly see the costumes of the alchemist inside. After appearing, the alchemist stared at the visitor and said word by word: "Are you sure his wound heals in an instant?"
The visitor nodded affirmatively and said, "I saw it with my own eyes. Although the white-haired man had great magic skills, he had too little experience with the enemy. The magic weapon was mixed with the hidden weapons of the dead soldiers. The man did not expect that he had injured his little finger, but he should not be able to see it when he was skillful in the magic weapon."
After hesitating for a while, the alchemist continued, "That's not wrong. Last time you said you discovered the whereabouts of Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan, how did you check?"
After hearing the alchemist's words, the person who came had a little nervous expression. After hesitating for a while, he said, "The two white hairs were slipperier than loaches. My man just said a few words and was discovered by Liu Xi. They escaped from Shacheng that night, and my man checked them in a radius of hundreds of miles. They should have dyed their hair and found a place where no one was hidden."
After a moment of silence, the alchemist looked at the man and said, "If you can't find it within a radius of a hundred miles, you can search it in a radius of a thousand miles. You must find it out of their mouths, how it turns into white hair. Don't worry about the white hair in Wang Mang's family. Just concentrate on finding the whereabouts of Liu Xi and the others. Give you a month's deadline. If you can't find them, I'll go find you."
When I heard the pawnsman say the last few words, the face of the visitor became ugly. However, his magical methods were too different, and he did not dare to resist at the moment. After saying goodbye, he turned around and used the Five Elements Escape Technique to leave here. After watching the man leave, the pawnsman walked to the front door and looked at the situation in the Great Sima Mansion opposite from him. While looking, he muttered something: "Sun Xiaochuan, Liu Xi now has another Guangzhi, and you have more surprises to me. Who will be the next white-haired person?"
When the Grand Sima Mansion was making trouble for the assassin, Yan Jie was on his way back to his private residence. When he got the news and rushed back to the mansion, the assassin had been taken down by the guards. At this time, Yan Jie did not dare to be careless. He personally ran to the gate of the palace and escorted Wang Mang back to his mansion. When he heard that he was not at home, he actually made trouble for the assassin. Wang Mang was a little surprised, but after a moment, he ordered his guard to return to the mansion first. He sent the assassin to the Tingwei Mansion and asked the Tingwei to examine it.
It was late that night, before the trial of the Tingwei, the assassins suddenly died in prison. At that time, Tingwei was dismissed by Emperor Ping because of his unfavorable work. The new Tingwei was Wang Mang's close friend, but he had no choice but to do anything about this matter, and the matter was left unresolved.
However, Wang Mang didn't let Guangzhi go no matter what he said. If it weren't for this strange man, his family in his mansion would not know what kind of bad luck would be. At present, Guangzhi stayed in the Grand Sima's mansion and learned some current affairs changes in recent years through the mouth of the Grand Sima.
After learning about the assassin in the Grand Sima Mansion, the old guy Bai Wuqiu actually came over and took a look. With Yan Jie, the old guy was taken to the study where the accident happened. After learning about what happened with Guangzhi, Gui Bugui looked at the weapons and hidden weapons left by the assassin.
After reading it, Gui Bugui found a double-sided flying knife from the pile of hidden weapons. After comparing with other hidden weapons, the old guy suddenly laughed. Then he said to Guangzhi who was accompanying him: "I heard that when you were having trouble with the assassin, you were slightly injured, right?"
Guangzhi's face turned slightly red. With his identity as a great alchemist with the name of Guang, it was already very embarrassing to be injured in such a situation. However, Guangzhi thought he had concealed it very well, and even the guards in the Grand Sima Mansion did not see it. How did this old guy know?
From Guangzhi's eyes, Gui Bugui guessed what the white-haired man was thinking. He smiled and pointed to the double-edged flying knife in his hand and said, "These assassins really take care of you and have specially equipped you with this magic weapon. You have been away from the land for hundreds of years, and you have no knowledge of this."
