Quick Wear Dream Qiqi
Chapter 178: Demons and Monsters 22
Shangguan Qian took a deep breath and was about to speak when the door was suddenly pushed open. Gong Yuanzheng was standing at the door, looking at the two people in the room with a stern face. The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.
Gong Yuanzheng glanced at Meng Qiqi, then at Shangguan Qian, his eyes frighteningly cold.
Without saying a word, he walked straight to Meng Qiqi, picked her up without asking any questions, and turned away.
Meng Qiqi was stunned at first, and then began to struggle: "Put me down, Gong Yuanzheng, what are you doing!"
Gong Yuanzheng snorted coldly: "You came here in the middle of the night and whispered to her. Are you planning to betray Gongmen?"
Meng Qiqi explained anxiously: "No, I just want to find out some things."
Gong Yuanzheng didn't listen. He carried her all the way and soon returned to Meng Qiqi's room.
He threw Meng Qiqi heavily onto the bed and looked down at her condescendingly.
Meng Qiqi sat up and glared at Gong Yuanzheng: "How can you be so unreasonable!"
Gong Yuanzheng crossed his arms and said, "In the palace, you don't need to meddle in matters that shouldn't be your business, especially when it comes to dangerous people. If you act recklessly like this again, next time it won't be so easy."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Meng Qiqi alone in the room feeling depressed.
————Interrogation room.
Gong Shangjiao sat on the chair, his eyes piercing Shangguan Qian like ice knives.
"Tell me, what is Wu Feng's purpose in sending you to the palace gate?"
Shangguan Qian bit her lip and refused to speak.
Gong Shangjiao waved his hand, and the servants beside him picked up the torture instruments.
The whip hit Shangguan Qian again and again, and blood oozed out.
Shangguan Qian's face turned pale with pain, but he still clenched his teeth.
Seeing this, Gong Shangjiao stood up, walked closer to her, and pinched her chin: "If you don't say it, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Shangguan Qian curled up the corner of her mouth into a bitter smile: "Okay, if I tell you, will you believe it? I am an orphan of the Gushan Sect. I came to the palace only to protect myself."
Gong Shangjiao let go of his hand and walked around Shangguan Qian.
"Humph, you said he was an orphan of the Gushan Sect. Do you have any evidence?"
A hint of panic flashed across Shangguan Qian's eyes, but then she calmed down.
"Both my parents died when I was young, and I carry with me the token of the Gushan Sect."
As she spoke, she took out a jade pendant from her bosom with difficulty.
Gong Shangjiao took the jade pendant and examined it carefully. The jade pendant looked ordinary, but it exuded an ancient atmosphere.
But the doubts in his heart did not dissipate.
"This jade pendant could also be a forgery or stolen."
Shangguan Qian said anxiously, "Sir, how dare I deceive you? I joined Wufeng out of helplessness. The leader of Wufeng was the murderer who destroyed the Gushan Sect. I only want revenge."
Gong Shangjiao sneered, "Then why did I find so many doubts that didn't match what you said after I sent people to investigate the Gushan Sect's past? For example, you don't seem to know the Gushan Sect's unique skills."
Shangguan Qian was shocked, but pretended to be calm.
"Sir, I have been displaced since I was young, and many of my martial arts skills have been lost."
Gong Shangjiao sat down again, his eyes still stern.
"I won't trust you easily. Before the truth is revealed, you'd better stay here honestly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Shangguan Qian clenched his fists, knowing that his situation was becoming increasingly difficult.
Gong Shangjiao came to Zheng Palace and saw Gong Yuanzheng fiddling with some herbs in the pharmacy.
His eyes flashed, and he asked, "Yuanzheng, has Meng Qiqi been to the interrogation room?"
Gong Yuanzheng paused, looked up at Gong Shangjiao, and replied nonchalantly, "Brother, I don't know what you are talking about."
Gong Shangjiao frowned, his voice cold, "Don't play dumb with me, someone saw her go that way."
Gong Yuanzheng put down what he was holding and stood up: "So what? Even if she went, she might just be passing by."
Gong Shangjiao snorted coldly, "Passing by? There are serious criminals imprisoned there, how can you just pass by casually?"
Gong Yuanzheng crossed his arms, not flinching. "Brother, are you suspecting she has some ulterior motive? What could she possibly be up to? She's just pitying Shangguan Qian, so maybe she came closer out of curiosity."
Gong Shangjiao approached Gong Yuanzheng and said, "You'd better make sure she doesn't do anything she shouldn't do, otherwise I won't let her go, even if she's someone you care about."
A hint of nervousness flashed across Gong Yuanzheng's face, but he then said firmly, "Brother, you're overthinking it. She's definitely not that kind of person."
Gong Shangjiao looked at him for a moment, turned around and left Zheng Palace, but he felt a little helpless in his heart. He hoped that Gong Yuanzheng could keep an eye on Meng Qiqi's every move.
Meng Qiqi was in the room at this time, considering whether she should go into the back mountain early.
After all, her identity as a bladeless assassin could not be hidden from Gong Yuanzheng for long.
Just now, she deliberately let Gong Yuanzheng discover the traces of her going to the interrogation room, just to see how he would react.
Moreover, the mutants in the back mountain are a potential threat and we can't delay any longer.
Shangguan Qian will also cooperate with Yun Weishan in the interrogation room, and work with Gong Shangjiao and others to lure Wufeng's four-direction monsters into the palace gate.
For example, the monsters in the four directions are Beixu in the east, Hanyike in the north, Fangshiai in the west, and Situhong in the south.
These four people are called the Four Monsters within Wufeng. They do not interfere with each other and each of them governs one side independently.
————Interrogation room.
Sure enough, after Shangguan Qian and Yun Weishan cooperated, they both pointed out that there was turmoil in the palace.
Then, he led the monsters from all directions into the palace gate, luring them into a trap. Only after hearing this did Gong Shangjiao agree.
Shangguan Qian bowed slightly, her voice soft but resolute: "Master Jiao, I am willing to go to the palace gate to deliver the message and lure Wu Feng's men into the trap set by the palace gate, but I need your cooperation in a play."
Gong Shangjiao looked at her carefully: "How do you act?"
Shangguan Qian said slowly, "Young Master, all you need to do is pretend to be at odds with Yu Gong. If the people of Wu Feng see this, they will definitely believe it."
Gong Shangjiao thought for a moment and nodded: "This plan is feasible."
So, according to the plan, Gong Shangjiao brought Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Ziyu to make a fuss.
As soon as Shangguan Qian walked out of the palace, he saw the Wufeng spy hiding in the dark.
She gave the spy a secret wink, and he understood and went back to report.
Not long after, Jackdaw Qi appeared in front of Shangguan Qian.
Shangguan Qian's eyes curved slightly, with a pitiful look on her face, and she said softly, "Jack Crow Qi, the palace is in turmoil right now, this is a great opportunity for us."
Jackdaw Seven crossed his arms, his eyes cold and indifferent: "Humph, do you think I will believe you so easily?"
Shangguan Qian stepped forward, tugged on Jackdaw Qi's sleeve and shook it gently: "How dare I lie to you? Look, Gong Shangjiao and Gong Ziyu are fighting endlessly, and the entire palace is in a panic. Now, as long as we Wufeng take action, we will definitely be able to take the palace in one fell swoop."
Jackdaw Qi shook off her hand?
"Then tell me the details."
A hint of pride flashed across Shangguan Qian's eyes, but she quickly regained her delicate demeanor. "Young Master Jiao has secretly mobilized a number of forces to fight for power, and although Gong Ziyu appears to be weak, he's actually also plotting something. With the two sides deadlocked, the palace's defenses must be weakened. If we, the Four Directions Ghosts, enter now, we'll surely be able to strike straight at Huanglong."
Jackdaw Seven pondered for a moment: "Are you sure the palace riot is real? Is it a trick?"
Shangguan Qian was about to cry: "I originally came from Wufeng, so naturally I have Wufeng in my heart. I sneaked into the palace before because I was ordered to do so. Now is a rare opportunity, so I am not lying."
Jackdaw Seven finally nodded: "Okay, then I will notify the other three parties to prepare for action."
After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in a flash. Shangguan Qian looked in the direction he left, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.
