Chapter Thirty-Seven: Successful Escape
"Okay, since you agreed, then I'll go to General Wei Chi now." Shan Zhuokun couldn't wait to say to Aofeng.
Originally, he just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't want Aofeng to really agree to his bet. Then the next step is to find the truth about the sacrifice and try to rescue Li Zhifeng from the cave, if everything goes well, maybe it will be successful soon.
"Well, I'll let the guards take you." Aofeng nodded and said condescendingly, "But you also have to promise me one thing, if you can really succeed in repelling the Spirit King this time, forget it, but if you are restrained by it, then you will come back and be punished, and don't think about leaving Bixia Palace again for the rest of your life." ”
Aofeng's words are very clear, that is, forcing Shan Zhuokun to make a choice between fish and bear's paws. As for where it will eventually develop, it will all depend on fate.
Shan Zhuokun knew the meaning of Aofeng, but he believed in the truth that people can overcome the sky. As the saying goes, evil does not prevail over good. As long as he and Yu Chi Baolin can work together, they will definitely be able to successfully subdue the Spirit King and get out smoothly.
However, in order to make Aofeng believe in himself, Shan Zhuokun still behaved hesitantly. lowered his head and groaned for a while, before he said to Aofeng:
"Okay, I promise."
Aofeng smiled coldly, turned around and commanded outside the door. A shrimp soldier in silver armor and holding a halberd who had been waiting there for a long time heard the palace master's order and walked quickly into the study. He hugged his fists and listened attentively, and his attitude was extremely deferential.
"You take him to the Shangbao Hall to find that big black man." Aofeng said with a look of disdain, "Change into the original robe, then give them a meal, and then let them leave." ”
Shan Zhuokun heard Aofeng say this, and couldn't help but feel a trace of gratitude in his heart: "It seems that you are not as bad as you think, then thank you." ”
Aofeng first asked the shrimp soldiers to go out and wait, and then looked sideways at Shan Zhuokun, and the corners of his lips rose slightly. After untying the silk tied around his neck, he handed the fire spirit bead to the other party.
"I advise you not to trust others easily, lest you be deceived. Remember, this Fire Spirit Bead is the treasure of my Dragon Palace. If you lose it, the master of this palace will definitely peel you and cramp. ”
Shan Zhuokun stretched out his hand to take the fire spirit bead, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, I will send this bead back when the matter is completed." ”
Aofeng didn't speak again, just waved his hand, sat down in the chair, and picked up the book on the table. Shan Zhuokun took a deep look at him, then took the beads in his arms and quickly walked out of the study.
Under the leadership of the shrimp soldiers, Shan Zhuokun walked forward quickly. In a few moments, the sound of their footsteps disappeared without a trace.
In the study, Aofeng put the book on the table and got up to the door of the study. As he looked outside, a complicated look appeared on his face. Then, after closing the door, he left straight away.
Suddenly, under the guidance of the shrimp soldiers, Shan Zhuokun came to the back yard. This is different from the carved beams and painted eaves in front of the house, which is an ordinary bungalow with green tiles as the roof and bluestone as the pillar. Since the people who usually come and go in here are some slaves who have been sent by others, the small scenery around the road in the courtyard has not been carefully repaired, and everywhere is covered with weeds and moss, and it is a mess.
After the shrimp soldier took Shan Zhuokun to the gate of the courtyard, he first explained his intention to the guard. After waiting for a while, I saw that Yu Chi Baolin was pushed out of it, due to the tossing for two consecutive days, although there was a break in the middle, he still looked tired, and he couldn't hide his tiredness, and he was completely like two people before.
Shan Zhuokun saw Yu Chi Baolin coming out, and hurriedly stepped forward. However, since the delivery has not yet been processed, it is just silent. It wasn't until the shrimp soldiers signaled that they could leave with him that he stretched out his hand and patted Yu Chi Baolin's shoulder, and said with a smile:
"General Wei Chi has worked hard, we can go out."
Yu Chi Baolin was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that he would be able to go out so soon. Before, after separating from Shan Zhuokun, the man in black brought him here and smashed bluestone with others to do coolies. even threatened that if he couldn't finish those jobs, he wouldn't be allowed to rest, and he couldn't imagine that his fate would change so quickly, which couldn't help but make him in a trance, like falling into a dream.
"Get out?" Yu Chi Baolin looked at Shan Zhuokun blankly, and asked sneeringly, "That monster won't be difficult for us anymore?" ”
Shan Zhuokun nodded: "You heard it right, we can indeed go out." And before we go out, the monster wants to invite us to a meal here. ”
When Yu Chi Baolin heard Shan Zhuokun say this, the expression on his face suddenly relaxed, and his eyes were full of eagerness.
"That's good, but there's no need for a big meal, it's important that we get out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible."
After speaking, Yu Chi Baolin pulled Shan Zhuokun's sleeve and walked forward. However, before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by the shrimp soldier who was walking in front of him. Unable to move, he could only stand still, raise his head, and confront him proudly.
Shan Zhuokun saw that the two sides looked tense, and hurriedly said to Yu Chi Baolin:
"General Wei Chi, since the palace master has the heart to let us go, he will never be untrustworthy. If you want me to say, why don't we just follow his heart, eat a beautiful meal here, take a good rest and then leave, how about it? ”
Yu Chi Baolin saw Shan Zhuokun winking at him, knowing that if he continued like this, he would not get any benefits, so he also looked for a step with these words, and said coldly:
"Since the Immortal said that, then let's decide. It's just that the monster's previous methods were so vicious, we should still be on guard, and we must not fall into the trap of others again. ”
Shan Zhuokun nodded, answered casually, and walked forward with Yu Chi Baolin and the shrimp soldiers.
After a short time, the shrimp soldier took the two to an extremely quiet courtyard, pointed to the bluestone table and chair in the center, asked them to sit down, and then ordered his subordinates who had been waiting there to bring the food and put it on the table. When everything was ready, he retreated and locked the courtyard door.
Seeing that the food on this table was so rich, Yu Chi Baolin was already salivating, and he couldn't wait to eat this delicious food in his stomach immediately. Seeing that only the two of them were left in the courtyard at this moment, he directly reached into the plate containing the chicken legs. However, before he could pick it up, his hand was grabbed by Shan Zhuokun.
"Shangxian, what do you mean by this?"
Yu Chi Baolin frowned and said, he was originally a foodie, and he was naturally irresistible to food. In addition, this time they entered the cave, they were always tired of traveling, and even if they ate, they were just swallowing dates. Now I see that the food is in front of me but is blocked by people for no reason, and I am extremely unwilling.
Shan Zhuokun didn't speak, but just put the index and middle fingers of his right hand together and pointed forward, and as he silently recited the mantra, the food on the table suddenly turned into smelly fish and rotten shrimp and animal bones from Bai Sensen. The wine in the wine jar on the side was smeared with black gas, and at a glance, he knew that he had been poisoned.
When Yu Chi Baolin saw this scene, he gasped, he couldn't imagine that Aofeng's methods were so vicious, so that they would die unknowingly due to poison.
"General Wei Chi, you won't forget the previous phantom fruit, right?" Shan Zhuokun said with a smile.
"Hmm." Yu Chi Baolin raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with palpitations, "It's so dangerous, thanks to Shangxian's action, otherwise it would definitely be another danger." ”
Shan Zhuokun smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing, I actually saw it from the moment I entered Bixia Palace, this Aofeng and the Spirit King are a pair of incompatible opponents, so I got the Fire Spirit Bead by gambling on it." But at the same time, they also have a very similar place, that is, they are ruthless and like to contain others, so they will be wary of this food. ”
Yu Chi Baolin nodded, and said convincingly: "They all say that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the world, and they may not think that the immortal is the master of this chess solution." ”
As the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of rustling footsteps from outside. The voice is getting closer and closer, and it looks like it's about to reach the door.
Shan Zhuokun knew that it must be that Aofeng who was secretly watching them, so he glanced at Yu Chi Baolin. As he closed his eyes, he silently recited the incantation in his mind. Soon, the figures of the two gradually turned pale colors, and they could no longer be seen in the air. At the same time, Shan Zhuokun pointed his hand forward, and he and Yu Chi Baolin's stand-in suddenly sat on the stone bench, and the food on the table was no different from the one ordered by the shrimp soldiers before. The two pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and they talked happily.
After these things were done, Shan Zhuokun beckoned to Yu Chi Baolin, and the two walked towards the palace gate of Bixia Palace together according to their memories. In a short time, he has successfully escaped.
