Huang Rong couldn't help but say, "Why are you so bad!"

She knew how much Brother Jing cared about him, the righteous brother who only met today, and as soon as Duan Tiande's words came out, Brother Jing should be so uncomfortable in his heart.

Taihu Lake is thousands of acres, and the small key sinks to the bottom of the water, and even if you are the world's number one martial arts master, you can't find it.

Not to mention Brother Jing, even she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

She grew up on Peach Blossom Island since she was a child, Huang Yaoshi as her father is naturally the most familiar man with her, he is unique, astronomy and geography, Zhou Yi gossip, classics and classics are all incomprehensible, although he is strong in martial arts, but often dressed as a scribe, she has looked up to such adult men since she was a child, and will always have a certain good impression of this kind of character at the beginning.

Although Ouyang Ke is also extraordinary in martial arts, brilliant in writing, loves to wear white clothes and also pretends to be a literati, and is born graceful and chic and extraordinary, but his demeanor is too frivolous and unstable, and he is good/lustful by nature, and he is treacherous, Huang Rong really can't have much good impression of him.

And Qiao Heng is different, even though he is younger than Ouyang Ke, his temperament is far more serious than Ouyang Ke, and at the same time, he does not have the majesty of Huang Yaoshi in front of Huang Rong, his temperament is much gentler than Huang Yaoshi.

Before Duan Tiande was brought over, Huang Rong chatted with him for a while, she was angry that this guy took away Brother Jing's attention, so she deliberately made it difficult for him during the conversation, but to her surprise, the other party was not as embarrassed as she thought at all. She was interested, and she and Qiao Heng came and went for a while, and then she found out that Brother Jing's righteous brother turned out to be an all-rounder like her father, with the same number of medical martial arts and Qimen techniques, and all kinds of poetry and songs.

Since she left Peach Blossom Island, she has rarely had the opportunity to chat as freely as she did today. She follows Brother Jing all day long, and it is naturally impossible for this wood to talk to her about this.

Huang Rong finally met such a friend who could chat, and she was very happy. Then she thought that there was a gambling contract between him and Brother Jing, if he couldn't break the iron shackles, Brother Jing would have won, if she didn't know him, she would have been very happy, but now she couldn't be happy.

She just felt that these hands should have been holding a pen to write poems and paintings, holding a spur to ride a horse when the mood came, dancing with a sword when drunk, and playing with flowers and grass in idleness, instead of being bound by chains as they are now.

If a bird has its wings broken, it will never be able to fly again. If the tiger is smoothed out of its claws and its fangs are removed, it will be difficult for it to catch its prey.

The regret in this, how can it be summed up by saying "pity" lightly?

Guo Jing could be said to have been frightened by Duan Tiande's answer, he came back to his senses, lifted Duan Tiande's collar, and asked, "Did you really throw the key into Taihu Lake?"

Duan Tiande trembled, and he snorted like a mosquito and said, "Yes...... It's true. ”

Guo Jing was stunned, he suddenly let go of the hand holding his collar, and Duan Tiande fell to the ground in embarrassment, and sighed.

If you don't say it sooner or later, you don't tell the truth until you are in front of yourself. Qiao Heng silently looked at Duan Tiande's funny demeanor, his calm appearance seemed to be watching a farce that had nothing to do with him.

In his eyes, the number of real villains and real gentlemen in this world is actually about the same, and more ordinary people are mixed between the two. I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate, he saw a rare real villain today.

Qiao Heng was sure that Duan Tiande really threw the key, and it was when Lu Guanying grabbed him and was about to escort him to Guiyunzhuang.

Duan Tiande was not sure whether his confusing rhetoric would be able to hide it from Lu Guanying, but no matter whether Lu Guanying believed him or not, as long as Qiao Heng, the "little prince", could be unlucky with him, he would be worth it.

Duan Tiande did things that hurt others and benefited himself, and he also did things that hurt others and were not beneficial to himself.

Guo Jing was a little afraid to look back at Qiao Heng's expression.

Guo Jing is an honest man, and honest people like him often have things to say, and they don't easily drill the tip of the horns, but when this kind of honest person wants to fork the road and drill the tip of the horns, it is eight horses that can't pull it.

Before he saw this righteous brother, he felt a little sorry for this brother, and after he saw Qiao Heng, this thought did not lessen, but became heavier and heavier, and gradually took root in his heart. He almost blamed himself for all the faults of Qiao Heng and Yang Tiexin's father and son who had been separated for eighteen years and could not recognize each other, and after he learned that Duan Tiande threw the key to open the iron shackles into Taihu Lake, he even drilled into the dead end.

The righteous brother was caught by Duan Tiande near Taihu Lake, and at that time, he and Rong'er were also near Taihu Lake, when the righteous brother was in trouble, he was playing, he could have saved him, but he didn't do it.

The more Guo Jing thought about it, the more sad he became.

Lu Guanying glanced at Duan Tiande with disgust, and said to Guo Jing: "This person is cruel to Zhongliang and looting people's fat and ointment, I am disgusted when I look at this person, what is Brother Guo doing with this person?"

Guo Jing lowered his head and looked at Duan Tiande, who was covered in dust and full of messes, and hated this person to death in his heart.

Duan Tiande wailed in his mouth and kept begging for mercy.

In fact, when he was caught by Lu Guanying on the boat, he had already expected that he would be more than lucky. Duan Tiande only allowed himself to be better, but now he himself is not happy, and of course he doesn't want others to be happy after his own bad luck, so when he got off the boat, he threw away the key that could open Qiao Heng's iron shackles while everyone didn't care.

But when things came to this point, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, maybe Lu Guanying would believe his words of reversal of right and wrong? Even if Lu Guanying later sent someone to ask him for the key, he still had some thoughts of being able to get out safely.

But he never dreamed that he would meet Guo Xiaotian's son here.

Now the new sorrow and the old grudge are added together.

Of course Duan Tiande regretted it, why did you say that he had to take Yan Honglie's order and come to arrest the little prince, if he didn't come, there would be no accident soon. He hated why he had wasted so much time on looting finances in the first place, if he had connected with Jin Guoqin's envoy earlier, he wouldn't have had these troubles.

Qiao Heng only looked at Duan Tiande's tearful and distorted face like a clown.

Guo Jing said to Duan Tiande: "You caused my father to die tragically that day, and made my brother-in-law's family husband and wife, father and son unable to get along, and now you don't want to repent and harm my brother-in-law, people like you should die." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Duan Tiande to continue begging for mercy, and slapped him with a palm.

A wisp of blood spilled out of Duan Tiande's mouth, and then he fell to the side. On that smudged face, his eyes were still wide open, full of unwillingness and fear. However, none of the people present stepped forward to help him close his eyes.

A long time ago, Guo Jing also imagined what kind of performance he would have when he killed his father's enemy. Did he let himself laugh, or did he kneel on the ground and cry bitterly, or was he relieved? But now, he didn't feel any relief in his heart, only a solemnity.

He came to Qiao Heng in three steps and two steps, pressed one hand on his shoulder, and said solemnly: "Brother Wei will definitely find a way to untie this iron shackle." ”

Qiao Heng naturally understood Guo Jing's temperament, and when he said this, he really planned to do his best to find a way to untie the chains for himself.

He said, "Thank you, brother, for your kindness. Actually, you don't have to worry too much, I have a way to untie this iron shackle, but some things still need the help of the young owner. ”

Lu Guanying had a chivalrous heart, and he immediately said: "Brother Yang just commands!"

Qiao Heng didn't immediately make any requests, but asked, "I don't know if there is a Taoist temple near this Taihu Lake?"

Huang Rong said: "The scenery of Taihu Lake is beautiful, I have traveled all the way, but I don't know how many temples and Taoist temples have been built. ”

Qiao Heng asked again: "Which of these Taoist temples is following the path of Waidan?"

There are many schools of Taoism, and during this period, many cultivation methods have been differentiated, his cheap junior brother Yin Zhiping prefers Nei Dan Liu, Qiu Chuji almost didn't break Yin Senior Brother Yin's leg for this matter, Nei Dan Liu has extremely high requirements for the talent and qualifications of practitioners, and it is really difficult for Yin Zhiping to achieve something in this. The requirements for the practitioner's qualifications are much lower, and of course, you can also call it alchemy.

In the process of alchemy, these Taoist priests who focused on the art of foreign medicine in ancient times often produced some unexpected by-products, such as fire/medicine, and alum oil - if someone thinks that the name alum oil is not intuitive enough, it is not impossible to change it to dilute sulfuric acid.

Lu Guanying thought about it carefully, and really remembered a Taoist temple famous for alchemy.

Qiao Heng said: "Trouble the young owner to send someone over to ask, do they have sealed alum oil there, this alum oil can corrode iron shackles, if so, buy some directly." ”

Lu Guanying said curiously: "Does this green alum oil really have this miraculous effect?"

Qiao Heng nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

Guo Jing saw that he really had a way to untie the chains, so he let go of the big stone in his heart slightly.

Qiao Heng paused, and then said: "If there is no one in this Taoist temple, please bother the young owner to buy some green alum in the medicinal herb shop, and it will be the same if I spend more effort refining it myself." ”

Lu Guanying said that he understood, and immediately called the servants at random and asked him to do what Qiao Heng ordered.

The matter was really said by Qiao Heng, Lu Guanying's subordinates failed to ask for alum oil from that Taoist temple, and it was a coincidence, it was not that the other party did not give it, but that the other party did not. Ordinary people don't know the use of alum oil, and it is not easy to preserve, there were still some stored in the Taoist temple, but later they thought it took up space, so they poured the alum oil left over from the previous alchemy.

Qiao Heng didn't say anything, he had to lament his luck, and then began to make dilute sulfuric acid by himself.

In the case of a shortage of chemical instruments, it is not easy to make and blend dilute sulfuric acid, but he is very experienced in doing these things, and it can be said that practice makes perfect. He first reluctantly scraped together a set of devices, and then based on the knowledge of the next life, combined with the current "Stone Refining Gut Extraction Method", he tossed for several days in a row, and finally succeeded in making dilute sulfuric acid.

However, in this way, it was delayed for a few days after all.

Qiao Heng stroked his wrist, and the place where it came into contact with the iron shackles was already worn out. At the end of the day, his wrist was sore and swollen, and when it was serious, it was a painful torture for him to even raise his hand, and as soon as he lifted his arm, the heavy chain pressed against his wrist, and the pain was unbearable. If it weren't for the fact that his internal strength had recovered and could have given him a certain degree of support, he wouldn't have even been able to raise his wrist.

......

"Rong'er, I'll go see my brother-in-law again. Guo Jing sighed, "I found out, my brother is a stubborn temper, you see that his wrists are injured to that extent, and he doesn't know how to rest, others want to help, he thinks others are clumsy." If I don't stare at it, he will forget to eat. ”

Huang Rong glanced at him: "I see that you are more stubborn than him, even if he doesn't eat, he won't eat, but if he doesn't eat, you will accompany him not to eat." ”

Guo Jing looked embarrassed and said, "Isn't this the bitter trick you taught me Rong'er?"

Huang Rong said, "Are you embarrassed to say, did I teach you like this?"

Guo Jing said that Huang Rong couldn't do it, so he had to run away.

Guo Jing felt very sorry for his righteous brother who had just met him, but he couldn't tell the other party this idea, his intuition told him that if he said this, he would definitely be unhappy with his righteous brother.

The righteous brother has not practiced martial arts for a period of time because of the iron shackles on his wrists, and even if the chains are removed, he will need to cultivate for a while.

But they still had a competition in Jiaxing on March 24.

In this way, Guo Jing felt that he was a little invincible. Guo Jing is not a person who likes to fight and win, he thinks that he will simply admit defeat. But he also understood that he was so sorry for his masters for doing this.

Once a sincere person gets into a dead end, don't think that he can take the initiative to go back.

Guo Jing even felt that the reason why his righteous brother was mixing alum oil without sleep was probably because of himself, and he must still remember that competition.

Guo Jing rarely showed a wry smile, wanting to persuade him, but he didn't know how to speak.

He came to Qiao Heng's residence in Guiyunzhuang and asked, "How is my brother's health recently?"

The young man who was standing in the courtyard was wearing a thin spring shirt, and he was tortured by this iron shackle for several days in a row, the brightness in his eyes decreased slightly, and his eyelashes opened and closed, bringing a bit of palpitating coldness.

Qiao Heng was just about to ask someone to go to Guo Jing, but he didn't expect him to come over.

He had already corroded the key points of this iron shackle with alum oil, and if Lu Guanying gave it another slap like he did at the beginning, its fate would definitely be different from before.

"Brother Lao remembers, and my brother is looking for his brother for something. ”

Before Guo Jing could ask what was the matter, he was stuffed with a knife by the other party.

Qiao Heng pointed to the iron shackles on his wrist and said, "Brother, just cut this chain." ”

Guo Jing took the handle of the knife handed over by Qiao Heng, and he didn't know what the righteous brother was going to do, could it be that the green alum oil was working? He was not a person of many words, but he just followed the meaning of the righteous brother, held the knife in his hand steadily, and used internal force to cut the iron shackles at the position designated by the other party.

Only a screeching sound of metal grinding was heard, followed by another crack, as if something had fallen to the ground.

Guo Jing's eyes widened, and he saw that the iron shackles were cut in half by him.
