Chapter 123: The Evil King Tries a New Medicine
Pavilion Master, what nonsense are you talking about in the middle of the night? Didn't wake up? No, I didn't even start sleeping! Zhong Yu looked at Shang Hong's bedding that had not yet been unfolded, and made sure that Shang Hong had not stopped.
Shang Hong didn't say anything, just sat quietly at the table, unable to see his emotions.
"The situation is bad? Even the pavilion master has no confidence? Zhong Yufu asked again.
"Half of the formation, what do you say? Moreover, every time the block is unsuccessful, it is always half a step slow, and the opponent is cunning. ”
"Believe me, Pavilion Master, I won't give it to Miss Nian. If you die, then you will not be blind until you die. So, Pavilion Master, take care of yourself and live well, and tell her what you want to say. ”
Zhong Yu looked at Shang Hong with some anger, this was the first time, Zhong Yu was harsh to Shang Hong.
Since he was a child, his father taught him: The young master is young and takes on heavy responsibilities, has always been forbearing, and his heart is really bitter. Father doesn't ask you to be more promising, accompany him, enlighten him more. That kid, if you continue to be so silent, I'm worried...... It's too rigid and easy to break, but he is the future of the Sky Pavilion. Son, you have a long way to go, remember the words of your father.
Even if his father died, Zhong Yu did not forget his father's earnest teachings, and never disobeyed Shang Hong, because he was Shang Hong's guardian since he was a child, and he obeyed the orders of the old pavilion master to be taught by his father. Shang Hong didn't know about this.
Shang Hong thought that his father was cold, but in fact, because of his position and responsibility, he had to be ruthless.
"I believe in you, and I will give it. Rest early, there are things to do tomorrow. ”
Shang Hong smiled at Zhong Yu rarely, and saw that Zhong Yu was stunned, his son was really different. has been abused for a long time, and I really can't see Shang Hong's warm side.
The corners of Zhong Yu's eyes were slightly moist, so he turned around, hid his abnormality, and walked to the door, Zhong Yu stood in the frame, but he still left Shang Hong with a back, because there were tears in his eyes, he tried to make his voice steady:
"Childe, Zhong Yu is happy for you. The old pavilion lord has a spirit in the sky, and he will have peace of mind. The current son is really good, he can be the Lord of the Sky Pavilion, he can bless the common people, and he has his own happiness. ”
Zhong Yu's figure was no longer at the door, and Shang Hong's figure in front of the window was still upright, sleepy: Father, will you be proud of me?
On the second day, under the leadership of Nian Xiaojiao, Shang Hong came to the underground palace of Longcheng. It's a really good place, the underground secret passages are intricate, no one leads you, and getting lost is a matter of minutes.
"Previously, there were three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry here, which was extremely strict. Now I've removed most of the people, and only a small team is left to check on them, just in case anyone slips through the net. By the way, Shang Hong, what do you say about this Dragon City? Are you going to take over? Nian Xiaojiao took Shang Hong forward and chatted at the same time.
"The hand of the imperial court has not reached here before, and it will not be in the future. I don't know about the Dragon Mansion under your Senluo Palace. ”
"You, are you going to explain to the court?"
"In the past, the Firmament Pavilion and the royal family were both prosperous and lost, and now, even if I don't do anything, the Dog Emperor Chun Yuye has 10,000 reasons to want to kill me. Besides, his father's death has nothing to do with him. Although it has not reached the point where water and fire are incompatible, it is inevitable that they will be afraid of each other. Now it's all right, just because no one can help anyone. There is no need to have a burden in your heart, and when the Senluo Hall becomes stronger, maybe we can cooperate, after all, we have a common enemy. This is not for you, but for the future of the Firmament Pavilion and the Senluo Palace. ”
Shang Hong patiently explained.
"Hall master, the front is in front of the dungeon, and the evil king Tengkun is locked there." The guide was none other than the injured deer, who still had bandages on his arms, and as for the blade shadow, because he injured his legs, the Dragon City change did not come this time.
Shang Hong looked at the deer, frowned, and asked, "Xiaolu, isn't the food in the Hades Mansion fragrant?" ”
The fawn's head was sweating: "Panic~"
"I don't think you're scared at all, you're at ease~"
"The subordinates must do their best to serve the girl to relieve the worries of the pavilion master." The fawn nodded like pounded garlic, and did not dare to look up at all.
"It's better to be so. Otherwise, there will be no place for you at the ends of the earth. Shang Hong gritted his teeth.
"Look at your stingy bear, what kind of anger you are taking the deer, he was originally sent to the Firmament Pavilion by our Senluo Palace, and it is natural for him to come back."
Nian Xiaojiao stood in front of Xiaolu, separating Shang Hong's gaze that wanted to eat people.
Zhong Yu, who was on the side, almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard Nian Xiaojiao scolding Shang Hongxiong. He gave Xiaolu a knowing look, although each has served its own master, it will still be brothers in the future, after all, the two masters are not divided between you and me.
Soon everyone was in the dungeon, and it was really miserable, miserable, and inhumane. The walls and bars on the ground were dark and black, and there were blood stains all over it.
Through countless ghosts crying wolves, in the deepest corner, I saw the somewhat haggard evil king Tengkun.
"The Evil King is treated well, and he is the only one in this dungeon who has not seen blood."
"That kid from Tianyinwen, how dare you attack me!" The evil king laughed wildly.
It's just that as soon as he opened his mouth, an inky pill burst down his throat.
"You!" The evil king's eyes were round with anger, and he thought that now people are swords and I am fish and meat, so he restrained his anger, and tried his best to calm himself and asked:
"The Lord of the Shang Pavilion, as the master of a faction, what do you want to do this three indiscriminately?"
"Not me." Shang Hong let go of the side, but he also agreed that there were some old grievances, and it was time to forget it.
"The Evil King, huh? This pill is the pain of the life-killing needle suffered by my sister. Once, my sister was in pain for three days and three nights, and she couldn't help but die. Now that you have taken this Soul Breaking Pill, you will suffer from the pain of burning your heart for seven days and seven nights, and you can rest assured that you will not be able to die, but you will not be able to die. Qing Yu stepped forward, looking like he was going to devour the evil king alive.
"Pavilion Master! You didn't believe what you said, you said you would help me once. Tengkun's face began to turn pale, and the medicine worked.
"Without Shang Gongzi's intercession, you would be a dead man now." Qing Yu replied.
"Little deer, open the cell door and let him go." Read Xiaojiao's command. said that she didn't hate, it was fake, but she didn't want to lose Shang Hong's face, since Shang Hong promised to let him go, let it go, besides, the evil king Tengkun didn't hurt Xiaojiao, but he just saw that she had suffered for three days, and only after Shang Hong's promise did he save Nian Xiaojiao.
"Still reluctant to go?" Qing Yu squatted down and looked at the evil king Tengkun, who was already rolling on the ground in pain: "I don't mind leaving you forever." ”
Tengkun propped up his crumbling body, struggled forward, fell completely every few steps, got up and walked again, behind him, there was no good stubble, not a place to stay for a long time.
"Tengkun, why did Tianyin Wen arrest you? What is your relationship with the Tianyin Sect? Shang Hong asked at Tengkun's back.
"Humph!" The evil king replied with a cold snort and left with a dead end.
Looking at the back of the evil king's painful forehead, Nian Xiaojiao asked, "Qing Yu, is he really worry-free?" ”
"The ghost knows, after all, Ye Lao's new medicine hasn't been tried yet. Ye Lao said that there is no worry about his life, it should be true. ”
“……”
Qing Yu is a ruthless person. The deer looked at Zhong Yu with some pity, his eyes full of urgency.
Zhong Yu rolled his eyes back and looked away.
I haven't seen her for a few days, this mother-in-law is still so thief.
Nian Xiaojiao left the deer in Dragon City, and Dragon City ushered in the third Long Yinwen. The change of power in Longfu did not affect the peace and contentment of the people of Longcheng in the slightest.
Count the days, Nian Xiaojiao should go back to Hanyu Mountain and prepare for the Spring Festival Exchange Meeting.
It's been dull for so long, and it's time to be lively. The rivers and lakes are turbulent, and people's hearts are uncertain, so we encourage and comfort each other together, in order to walk more steadily in the future.
Shang Hong really wanted to go with Nian Xiaojiao and go directly to Hanyu Mountain, but no, the Sky Pavilion was like a piece of fat, attracting tigers and wolves to covet it. He needs to go back to the town to stabilize the morale of the army.
"You go back first, Nanfeng will still leave it to you, and when things are understood, I will go to Hanyu Mountain to find you." It must be in time before the spring season. Shang Hong said the same thing, and told and advised, and Nian Xiaojiao had a good time saying goodbye to you and me, and saw the sour and rotten atmosphere of the people around him.
Qing Yu and Zhong Yu met through their eyes, and a thousand words turned into tenderness in their eyes.
Shang Hong called Zhong Yu a few times, and Zhong Yu was still immersed in the only meeting with Qing Yu.
"Zhong Yu!"
"Ahh
"Why don't you also be sent to the Hanyu Sect to be on duty?" Shang Hong said a little angrily.
"Well, I can't ask for it."
"Think beautifully! Hurry up, finish things early, and go to the Hanyu Sect early. Zhong Yu's mind Shang Hong understands, Zhong Yu's reluctance and concern, and so does Shang Hong.
However, no, sometimes separation is unavoidable. After all, being born as a human being, in addition to love, responsibility, morality, and sect...... None of them can be discarded.
Adults, only with the right trade-offs, how can there be perfection.
On the first day of Nian Xiaojiao and Shang Hong's separation, he rushed for most of the day's trip, seeing that the sun was about to set in the west, just plus the bumpy road, Nian Xiaojiao had no spirit, and saw that there was a search inn in front of him, although it was just a simple small building, simple, but it was better to be clean.
I don't know if there is a place to rest on the road ahead, Nian Xiaojiao beckoned, stopped the carriage, and came down first:
"That's it, let's rest."
The owner of the inn was an old man with gray hair and beard, and when he saw the arrival of the large army, his eyes became slits with a smile, and he trotted out to meet him.
How long has it been since there has been a big business at the Inn. Why is it called Seek? It's just that there are few customers and attract customers.
"Is the guest officer sharpening or staying in the hotel?"
"You say, it's so late."
The old man slapped his lips lightly: "Look at me! I said that I was used to it from morning to night, and the guest officer was not annoyed, and I would send a wishful soup to everyone to eat at the meeting. Forgive me. ”
Speaking of eating, Nian Xiaojiao really felt a little hungry, and when she was in a hurry at noon, she simply ate some dry food, plus she was not in a good mood and ate less, and her whole stomach was gurgling at this time.
"Boss, hurry up and prepare two tables to eat, after a day of travel, everyone is hungry."
"Well, the old man's surname is Yu, and the guest officer doesn't mind calling me Lao Yu. Yu Tao, take the guests to the room to release the bags, and take a break. I'll go to the back kitchen and keep an eye on the cook. ”
The old man called the jade peach is a young girl, the jade peach is as its name, the beauty is round and feminine, probably because the inn business is not particularly good, relatively leisurely, not tired, good raising.
"The eyebrows and eyes of the jade peach girl are similar to the boss."
Under the guidance of Yu Tao, Nian Xiaojiao and the others followed upstairs and couldn't help asking.
"The guest officer said it perfectly. The boss is my father, my father, not my mother. "Yutao is a peaceful girl, with a degree of advance and retreat, and her gestures have her own flavor.
Nian Xiaojiao and the others came downstairs soon after a short rest because their stomachs were empty.
Zhang Luo, the owner of the inn, served two large bowls of soup first, one on one table. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bowl or a buried, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a basin.
"This ruyi soup is made by the old hen slowly boiled over a fine fire, and the guest officer eats it slowly." Boss Yu ran up and down, serving carefully, most of the month has passed, and the rent has not been earned back, so it depends on today, and you must not be used as an uncle.
Qing Yu brushed off the fat on the soup noodles and served a bowl of clear soup for Nian Xiaojiao. Habitually taking out the silver needle, Nian Xiaojiao shook her head at it. Such a remote town has a simple people's customs. Boss Yu kindly sent a bowl of soup, if he tested for drugs on the spot, he would not have to bury his kindness, and next time he would not dare to be a good Samaritan.
Nian Xiaojiao took the bowl handed over by Qing Yu, and was about to drink a sip of hot soup, when a person at the next table suddenly fell to the ground, and the stool was knocked over.
The clanging sound frightened Nian Xiaojiao's hand and the hot soup spilled out. Nian Xiaojiao was born with a white and tender good leather Buddha, but she was suddenly scalded by the hot soup and became red.
It's just that now Nian Xiaojiao didn't have time to take care of herself, she rushed to the person who fell to the ground, this was one of the accompanying escorts sent by Senluo Palace, and she was already foaming at the mouth and convulsing.
Nian Xiaojiao hurriedly took out a white jade bottle from her waist, poured out a pill, and handed it to Nanfeng, who rushed to investigate: "Give it to him, quickly!" ”
The man on earth just took the pill in his mouth and couldn't swallow it.
"Use your true qi to force the pill down!" Nian Xiaojiao was anxious on the side.
"Miss Nian, calm down, the poisonous gas is too heavy, it goes deep into the heart, and you can't be saved." The south wind separated Nian Xiaojiao from the person who had fallen to the ground after being poisoned. Nian Xiaojiao seemed to be too excited, he was afraid that she would do something out of the ordinary.
Hearing this, Nian Xiaojiao sat on the ground depressedly, and the life that was still running around a second ago was like a dead wood at this moment. Even though I've seen a lot of life and death recently, I'm still very compassionate every time. She will never learn to be ruthless, and she will never turn a blind eye to it.
Qing Yu helped Nian Xiaojiao up distressedly: "It's cold on the ground, sister pay attention to your body." ”
Nian Xiaojiao looked at Boss Yu, who was terrified and couldn't stop rubbing his hands, and asked through gritted teeth:
"What did Boss Yu say? Isn't there something wrong with this soup? Why did my guard take a sip and fall to the ground? ”
"Oh, girl. I'm sure I'm okay with this soup, but I'll take a sip and show you. ”
After that, Boss Yu picked up the soup bowl on the table and prepared to take a sip to prove his innocence.
Seeing Boss Yu's movements, Nian Xiaojiao was anxious, and a wave of anger struck, knocking over the bowl in Boss Yu's hand and shattering it.
"Ignorance is not born of fearlessness, it is tragedy. If Boss Yu really took a sip, one corpse lying on the ground would become two corpses. ”
Nian Xiaojiao mourned and said ruthlessly.
"How could it be~~ Who is it, so vicious."
"Boss Yu, call this soup cook."
As soon as Nian Xiaojiao's words were finished, a small guy rushed out of the backyard: "Boss Yu!" Oh no! Chef~~Chef~~ is dead! ”
How so?
Nian Xiaojiao felt strange and followed Boss Yu to the kitchen.
The chef fell to the ground, and a soup bowl was broken next to him. The soup splashed all over the chef's body.
This~ actually drank the soup and fell to the ground and died. Then it shouldn't be the chef's work.
"Boss Yu, who has been in the back kitchen?"
"Just a few of us, me, the cook, my daughter Yutao, and Xiao Wang who ran the hall are gone!"
Nian Xiaojiao secretly guessed, could it be one of the three of them?
"The soup was made long before we came, so the other party's purpose is not us, but one of you, Boss Yu." As Nian Xiaojiao's words came out, Boss Yu's face became paler and paler.
"It's not me, it's not Yutao, and as for Xiao Wang, it won't either. By the way, this chicken was given by someone else. Could it be that the problem is with the chickens? Boss Yu recalled seriously.
"Qing Gardenia, cut the chicken open and take a look."
"The internal organs are black and poisonous."
"Boss Yu, don't talk and hide it at this time." Nian Xiaojiao pointed to the old hen who was still in the pot on the stove.
"Hey~ what a sin."
Boss Yu said to Nian Xiaojiao. His daughter has been married to the Yang family in the east of the city since she was a child, and the mother of the two children is a boudoir sister and has a very good relationship. Before giving birth, it is agreed that if the sex of the child is different, it will be married and a good marriage will be concluded.
Unexpectedly, as he grew older, the boy of the Yang family became addicted to vice and gambling. owed hundreds of taels of money to the casino, and the debtor blocked the door, and the parents at home found out. The father couldn't bear his son's leg broken and paid off his debts, thinking that his son would change his mind, but he never thought that there would be two and two and three.
The Yang family's cloth shop was dragged down, the family had no peace, and they were chased by debtors every day. In the end, Yang's mother couldn't bear it, broke off the marriage contract with my family, and committed suicide by throwing herself into the river.
The one with a vicious mind forced his mother to death, and he still didn't repent. The Yang family was no longer able to support him, so they began to make trouble at the Seeking Inn. said that Yutao was his daughter-in-law, and life was his person, and death was his ghost.
How could Boss Yu be willing to let his only daughter go into the fire pit?
So he discussed with the boy of the Yang family and gave him fifty taels, and from then on, the two cleared and had nothing to do with it.
broke the fortune and eliminated the disaster, for the sake of his daughter, Boss Yu also admitted it.
With money, the boy of the Yang family agreed simply, and brought an old hen, saying that he was grateful to Elder Yu for his care for so many years, and also thanked Boss Yu for his generosity at the end.
Boss Yu also said that this Yang family kid finally has some conscience, and he has not completely extinguished it.
In the end, there is today's poisonous chicken soup.
"Huh! There are such mixed people in the world! ”
Nian Xiaojiao OA looked at the jade peach on one side, lowered her face, and wanted to cry.
"Pity my daughter, dragged down by him, and she is not married yet at such an old age. Hundreds of miles away, they are all afraid of the gambler of the Yang family, afraid of being deceived by him, and no one dares to marry. Boss Yu snorted and cried.
"Old ~~ old ~~ board, if you don't dislike me for being poor, I'm willing to marry a jade peach girl! I have admired her for a long time, and I ask you to fulfill it. ”
Boss Yu and his daughter Yutao both looked at Xiao Wang in surprise.
Yu Tao's face was shy, and she was coquettish: "What are you kidding!" ”
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious. Boss Yu, my family has five acres of land and ten cows, and I am very diligent, I don't gamble, I will be good to Miss Yutao. Xiao Wang was excited, and knelt in front of Boss Yu with a plop.
Boss Yu looked at his daughter Yutao, but he was a little shy, but he was not disgusted: "Good boy, you have a heart." Hurry up, I'm in charge of the matter of Yutao, and I'll promise you. ”
"Really? I have a daughter-in-law! Thank you Boss Yu!"
"Silly boy, what's the boss?" The south wind was coaxing.
"yes!"
"yes!"
……
The crowd agreed.
"Daddy!"
A crisp sound.
"Hey!"
A laugh.
"I'm sorry to disturb, Boss Yu, you'll talk about your family affairs later. He is murdered for money, what do you think, Boss Yu? Nian Xiaojiaowen asked.
"This is a fatality, but what should I do?" said that there were two lives a day, and he was also flustered.
"Report to the officer!"
