Volume 2 Jinghua Fengyun (II) Chapter 37 Fighting Poison with Poison (II)
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
Chasing the wind and stepping on the Lingbo lotus step, the figure is like stepping on the clouds and the wind.
The black tiles and white walls under his feet, Zhu Lou Qihu are like clips cut out of a movie, and the scenes are quickly retreating.
Dressed in the evening star all the way, he rushed straight to the north of Jinghua City.
Soon, he entered the land of the continuous horizontal waves.
This is the realm of the Cao Gang's rudder.
The large and small overlapping courtyards look down from a high place, like a huge gourd.
On the gourd-like landscape, there are also canals and ditches running through it, which looks like a living water hyacinth.
There are flowing waters, boats carrying their canopy and sails, and the wealth is rolling endlessly.
Chasing the wind was on top of the tallest tower of the Cao Gang's helm, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around.
Then, he pulled out a map from his bosom.
It was the layout map of the Cao Gang rudder sent by Wu Jingmo, which should have been drawn by the confession of the person who was the chief helmsman.
Chasing Wind shook the map away, and saw a striking red circle.
There, is the residence of Ma Rulong, the leader of the Cao Gang.
Chasing Feng looked at the large and small courtyards under him, carefully coiled them up against the map, and searched for a long time before he found the correspondence drawn in the red circle.
Strange that the lord of this dignified gang lives in a place that is neither high above everyone nor a place full of magnificence, but just a small and unremarkable courtyard
This courtyard looks no different from the courtyard houses of ordinary people, and it is not at all obvious.
After squinting his eyes and confirming it repeatedly, he turned into a swift that flew lightly, dancing and floating on the eaves of the small courtyard.
This small courtyard, although it is ordinary, but because of the bamboo cultivation in the meantime, it adds a bit of elegance and tranquility.
It looks a little less chivalrous, and it doesn't look like the leader of a big gang in the world at all.
It also lacks the meaning of wealth and prosperity, and it is not at all like the residence of the first merchant of Caoyun whose name of wealth spreads for thousands of miles.
The bamboo and stone in the small courtyard are intertwined, and there is a bit of artistic conception of the literati and the gentleman like bamboo.
Chasing the wind was curious, quietly leaned on the roof, silently uncovered a black tile, and peeked into the room.
I don't know what kind of dignity this famous Cao gang leader Ma Rulong is
I saw a tall figure in a green shirt and a book standing by the window lattice under a lonely lamp.
The moonlight casts a speckled silhouette on the papier-mâché window lattice, forming a natural ink painting.
Chasing the wind was about to fly under the tile, and as soon as he moved, the figure by the window suddenly turned around and glanced vigilantly at every inch of the room.
The man's face was already weathered, but between his eyebrows was heroic, if it weren't for the fact that he was holding a book in his hand, Chasing Wind only felt that he was like a master who could sacrifice a big killing weapon at any time to take his life
Chasing the wind shouted in his heart that it was not good, and he was careless again
Hurriedly took out the secret soul hooking incense made by the master from his arms, and quickly inserted it into the hole
A cloud of mist and smoke curled down, just in time to meet the sharp gaze of the man in the room as he looked up
The gaze was like lightning, unstoppable, with a sense of precaution.
The man was about to use force, and as soon as his fists and feet were extended, he was as weak as mud, his eyelids sank, and he collapsed to the ground.
Chasing the wind secretly rejoiced in his heart, and looked at the silence all around
Quietly, simply blatantly jumped down from the black tile roof, broke through the roof, and felt uncomfortable
"Small, this is our tantric soul hooking incense, but ordinary incense can be compared, even if you are the leader of the Cao Gang, martial arts, master, I am not mistaken"
Chasing Wind patted the man's cheek and teased.
The mischievous hand was coldly grabbed by the man
"Why aren't you faint?"
Chasing Feng said in shock, quickly withdrew his hand, and stood up.
The man also stood up abruptly, patted the dust on his green shirt, and smiled lightly with a relaxed face
"Young man, you are drugged, but you are the wrong person"
Chasing the wind was even more shocked in his heart
The wrong person is not the person in front of him, not Ma Rulong, the leader of the Cao Gang
Is this damn old four deliberately luring people into the house, so that they can be caught in one go
The fourth child and Ma Rulong are both members of the Cao Gang
They were already in the same group, how could Brother Jingmo believe him
Obediently knock, sir, I'm going to plant here tonight
In vain, I am the first marshal of Biyun Valley
Seeing that this person is tall and straight, with the spirit of Ryoma, when he gets up and moves, he can observe that his skills are extraordinary, and he is probably not his opponent.
Chasing the wind simply broke the jar and fell, turned his heart horizontally, his neck all the way, and shouted
"To be the first, to kill one. Since I have arrived at your territory today, I am a fish and meat, you are a knife warrior, you want to kill or chop at will, anyway, master, I will be a good man in more than ten years."
"Where did you come from, little brother, you still have a lot of personality and backbone, quite the style of my Ma Rulong when he was young, it's just that your incense, the tricks you use are not enough to get home, hahahaha"
The man looked at Chasing Wind with a smile, praised in his mouth, and laughed more than once.
When he looked at it, he seemed to appreciate it a little, and his killing intent retreated a little, but it made Chasing Feng feel bottomless, and he was speechless and incomprehensible for a while.
"You said that you are the leader of the Cao Gang, Ma Rulong, how can the dignified Ma Gang leader succumb to such a humble room, and he is still wearing this kind of shabby and beautiful long cloth shirt, whether others believe it or not, anyway, I don't believe it"
Chasing the wind glanced at the simple furnishings in the house, and said vigilantly.
"Oh, what does that little brother think, what should the leader of the Cao Gang do?"
The man was amused by the words of Chasing the Wind, rubbed the scroll in his hand, and asked with a laugh.
"How do I know it won't be like you anyway"
Chasing the wind glanced at the scroll in the man's hand.
The scroll is made of bamboo, and it can be said that it is quite rare in the Great Yasukuni Province, where papermaking has been popularized for decades
"You see, you are still locked in the house alone, studying ancient books, you are not a literati, who else can you say, where is Ma Rulong?"
Seeing that the murderous aura in the man's eyes had been extinguished, Chasing Feng changed his words and asked bluntly.
"I don't know why this little brother is looking for me."
The man laughed loudly and replied unabashedly.
As soon as these words came out, Chasing Feng was able to affirm that the person in front of him was indeed Ma Rulong, the leader of the Cao Gang.
It's just that this person seems to think very highly of himself, and he doesn't look at juniors like Chasing Feng in his eyes, so maybe he really doesn't plan to do anything to him.
"Why don't you believe it?"
Seeing that Chasing Feng still had an expression of disbelief, Ma Rulong actually took out a delicate and small green jade seal from his sleeve.
One raised his hand, waved the seal under the eyelid of the wind, and smiled
"Little brother, look at it, what is this"
I saw that at the bottom of the jade seal, there were four clear small seals engraved with "Ma Rulong Seal".
Seeing Chasing Feng's stunned and surprised look, Ma Rulong relaxed and sat down beside his bookcase, and interrogated unhurriedly
"Little brother, I have identified myself and answered a question for you. Now it's your turn to answer me a question. Thou hast ventured into the middle of the night to find out what I have done."
"Good people don't say secret words, let me ask you, did you send your men to set up an ambush on the long street, and also hired the killer of the Western Regions to assassinate the road and ride the wind"
Chasing the wind asked straight to the point.
"I've only heard a little about what you're talking about."
Ma Rulong sat firmly behind the bookcase, gently flattened the sweaty green scroll in his hand, and didn't raise his head.
It's like chasing the wind tonight, the night attack has long been expected by him, but he has never thought of doing any dodge.
Seeing that he looked calm as if he was not moving, Chasing Feng was even more suspicious in his heart, and hurriedly asked
"It's not that you can be the fourth child who hired a murderer, or the people of your Cao Gang, you are the mastermind behind him, don't even think about denying it"
Ma Rulong listened to the angry words of chasing the wind, but his face still did not change, he did not move, and said with a shallow smile
"I've already answered that question, and now it's my turn to ask you. Looking at the little brother's light skills, I'm afraid he is not a person in the palace, let alone a soldier in Jingzhao Mansion, so where did the little brother come from?"
"Master was born, you don't care where I came from"
Chasing Feng crossed his hands, folded his arms in front of his chest, and retorted with disdain in his mouth.
"Yo, it's quite horizontal, I like it."
Ma Rulong saw Chasing Feng's angry and awkward expression, but he appreciated it more and more, and laughed again.
Chasing the wind was angry and funny, and rolled her eyes at him.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, and Chasing Feng took two big steps forward mysteriously, lowered his voice, and asked
"Do you really want to know, let me tell you, it's just that my background is special, and I can't make a big deal, or you can come over a little."
Ma Rulong leaned forward with great interest, and Ren Chaifeng whispered in his ear
"Master, I won't tell you to be angry with you"
Ma Rulong's heart suddenly became impatient, and he was about to get angry when he turned his face sideways.
As soon as he opened his mouth wide, he was quick to chase the wind, and a small object was stuffed into his mouth.
"You are"
Ma Rulong's eyes widened angrily, and as soon as a sentence reached his throat, he was silent and lowered his head.
Chasing Feng stepped forward and cautiously probed his snort, and carefully checked the pulse in his neck, and then relieved himself.
"Hey, at first, let you pretend to be dead, and said that I can't be fascinated, what are you kidding, our Biyun Valley medicine and poison technique is one of the four unique skills, okay, now I know that my master, I'm amazing."
Chasing the wind patted Ma Rulong's slightly vicissitudes of cheek, as if admiring a trophy of a victory, and also pretended to learn from Ma Rulong's calm and complacent appearance just now, and smiled
"Soul Hook incense doesn't stun you, you have to waste my courage not to be shocked, you have a good mouth today"
