Chapter 251: The Trap

Qi Ning stood up, didn't speak, and walked straight to the west gate, Arnau was about to stop her, Qi Ning immediately stared at her, his eyes were like knives, the cold was pressing, Arnau was stunned by Qi Ning's gaze like a knife, and he didn't dare to stop it.

Qi Ning walked to the edge of Ximen Zhanying, and saw that her snow-white skin was already covered with goosebumps, knowing that although there was a fire in this house, after all, it was the cold winter season, and her skin was exposed, even if she was beaten with iron, she would suffer from the cold, not to mention Ximen Zhanying, seeing that her clothes were randomly cut by Arnau just now, she could only take off her coat and put it on Ximen Zhanying.

Ximen Zhanying was a little surprised, looked up at Qi Ning, his eyes were still red, and the tears on his cheeks had not dried, but he saw Qi Ning smiling gently at himself, this smile had never been seen on Qi Ning's face before, for some reason, seeing Qi Ning by her side at this time, she felt a sense of steadiness inexplicably.

Qi Ning put on clothes for Ximen Zhanying, covering the spring light, and then turned around and said: "Poison King, you see that this can't be done, anyway, this woman has no effect, it's just a small yacha in the Shenhou Mansion, even if you keep it in your hand, the Shenhou Mansion won't take it to heart." They have their eye on me, and with me as a hostage, your master and apprentice will definitely be able to escape safely. ā€

Swing Yi turned his head and just smiled strangely.

Qi Ning smiled: "You see, this woman has no brains at all, and her martial arts are very poor, stupid, stupid and useless, and it is a burden to keep it in her hands." ā€

When Ximen Zhanying heard this, he couldn't help glaring at Qi Ning fiercely, but he knew in his heart that Qi Ning deliberately said this, just to let Swing Yi let himself go first.

She only felt that Qi Ning couldn't say that she hated it before, but at the moment, she felt that this guy was a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Arnau didn't wait for Swing Yi to speak, and already smiled: "Master, he said that this woman is stupid, stupid and useless, and the Shenhou Mansion won't care, I think it makes sense." Since the Shenhou Mansion doesn't care about her, it's too cumbersome for us to keep it in our hands, so it's better to .....! His eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Why don't you kill her, and then use corpse powder to melt her?" ā€

Qi Ning was surprised, but Swing Yi had already said: "When it is time to put it, I will naturally put it." He raised his hand and beckoned, and said to Qi Ning: "Come here!" ā€

Qi Ning patted Ximen Zhanying's shoulder lightly to show comfort, and then walked over and sat down opposite the swing.

"We haven't finished talking about it yet." Swing Yi's deep gaze stared at Qi Ning, "You said that there are people in the imperial court who advocate the expropriation of the Holy Sect, so which officials are they?" Is it the emperor? ā€

Qi Ning shook his head and smiled: "The emperor naturally won't make a decision easily, but the people of the Huainan King are strongly advocating the use of force against the Black Lotus Holy Sect. ā€

In his heart, he was thinking that the Black Lotus Holy Sect was mysterious and unpredictable, even an old poison like Swing Yi was a member of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, plus it was said that the leader of the Black Lotus Holy Sect was still a great grandmaster, no matter whether the imperial court really wanted to conquer the Black Lotus Holy Sect in the end, it would naturally not be wrong to let the Black Lotus Holy Sect hate the King of Huainan first.

"King Huainan?" Swing Yi frowned and said, "Does he really want to exterminate my Holy Sect?" He smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't have this ability." ā€

"Poison King, I have something I want to ask, do you Black Lotus Holy Sect have any deep hatred with King Huainan?" Qi Ning asked, "King Huainan has been admonishing the emperor from the very beginning, and he is preparing to put your Black Lotus Holy Sect to death. ā€

"Deep hatred?" Swing Yi sneered: "The Holy Sect only operates in Xichuan, and it is not difficult for the government, although I have heard of this Huainan King you are talking about, I have never seen him, let alone have any deep hatred with him." ā€

Before the matter was completely understood, King Huainan had already strongly advocated that the imperial court should use troops against the Black Lotus Holy Sect, Qi Ning had always felt strange, if the King of Huainan did not have other plans, then he must have some grudge with the Black Lotus Holy Sect, just a dignified prince, what kind of feud could he have with the Miao people gang in the borderlands?

At this time, listening to Swing Yi say this, I was even more puzzled.

"There was some room for manoeuvre in this matter." Qi Ning sighed, "But...... Poison King, with all due respect, you broke into the Shenhou Mansion this time, but I am afraid that you have already caused a monstrous disaster for the Black Lotus Holy Sect. ā€

Qiu Qian Yi's eyes were deep and sharp, and he said, "Are you saying that I broke into the Shenhou Mansion to rob the prison, and I am even more guilty?" ā€

Qi Ning thought that you old poison also understood, and nodded: "Not bad." The epidemic virus in the capital has spread, and many people have died, and the court already knows that someone has poisoned it, and the Gu egg poison in the poison is a golden Gu worm from the yin and yang world, the poison king, this golden Gu worm was cultivated by you, it should be right? ā€

Swing Yi sneered: "Not bad." ā€

"The imperial court has discovered the poison and has already locked the suspicion on the poison king and even the Black Lotus Holy Sect, but the emperor is wise and does not determine that everything is done by the Black Lotus Holy Sect because it is Gu egg poison." Qi Ning said slowly: "King Huainan and the others are bent on exterminating the Black Lotus Holy Sect, but until the real murderer is determined, the emperor will not easily make an order. But this time Arnau was arrested, and the poison king, you broke into the Shenhou Mansion to save people, I'm afraid even fools would guess that it was you Jiuxi Poison King who saved people. ā€

Swing Yi's face was cold, but then he smiled coldly and said, "What can you do if you know?" ā€

"If the poison king says this, I can't do anything." Qi Ning said: "The Shenhou Mansion is investigating whether the poisoning has anything to do with the Black Lotus Holy Sect, you are good to be old, you don't appear sooner or later, just at this juncture, you ran to the capital, and also broke in to save people, now the Ximen Shenhou must have reported this matter to the imperial court, and the imperial court knows that you rescued Arnau, do you think you will still suspect that this matter has nothing to do with the Black Lotus Holy Sect?" ā€

Swing Yi raised his hand and pinched the beard under his chin, thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that things are really as I thought, this time it was Simon Wuxian who set a trap." ā€

"Simon Traceless set a trap?" Qi Ning frowned and wondered, "What do you mean by this?" ā€

Swing Yi smiled and said, "I thought you kid had some brains, but it seems that he is also stupid." Glancing at Ximen Zhanying, he asked, "What is the relationship between that girl and Ximen Wuxi?" ā€

"What's the relationship?" Qi Ning wanted to conceal the identity of Ximen Zhanying, so as not to give birth to other accidents, and when he heard Qiu Qianyi's sudden question, he was slightly surprised in his heart, and secretly thought that this old poison had already seen something, but he still smiled calmly on his face: "It's just a messenger from the Shenhou Mansion." ā€

Swing Yi stared at Qi Ning's eyes, and said with a smile: "The rules of the Shenhou Mansion are clear, there are many advances and retreats, everyone present, only this girl dares to make a move without permission, this alone is enough to show that she is not an ordinary official." Looking at Ximen Zhanying's eyes, regardless of Ximen Zhanying's staring at him with a cold gaze, Swing smiled easily: "Yes, he is Ximen's traceless daughter." ā€

Qi Ning secretly thought that this old poison was really powerful, and before he could speak, Qian Qian Yi stared at Qi Ning again and said: "Do you know that the people of the Shenhou Mansion are not lying, since the establishment of the Shenhou Mansion, no one has dared to rob people in the Shenhou Mansion." ā€

Qi Ning smiled: "Isn't the Poison King the first person?" ā€

"Then do you know why no one dares to break into the Shenhou Mansion?"

Qi Ning thought that the Shenhou Mansion was prestigious, and no one knew about the rivers and lakes, so he really wanted to go to the Shenhou Mansion for bad luck, but he was afraid that he would be restless day and night from now on, so he just smiled and did not answer.

"Hehe, you naturally can't see that the pattern of the Shenhou Mansion itself is built according to the formation." Swing Yi said: "People who don't know the door can't see its power, but those who know the door can see that the pattern of the Shenhou Mansion is the Liuding Liujia Formation, and if you want to enter the Shenhou Mansion, you don't understand the formation, and you can trespass without permission, which is like asking for a dead end." ā€

Qi Ning and Ximen Zhanying both changed color slightly.

Qi Ning went to the Shenhou Mansion several times and never thought that the pattern of the Shenhou Mansion had something to do with the formation, and after glancing at Ximen Zhanying, seeing her expression, he knew that even Ximen Zhanying didn't know this.

"I infiltrated the Shenhou Mansion and it was unimpeded, but if the Shenhou Mansion activated the formation, I might be able to get out alone, but with Arnau, there would only be a fifty percent chance." Swing Yi said slowly: "I've been wondering why it would be so easy to sneak into the prestigious Shenhou Mansion. ā€

Qi Ning faintly felt that things might be even more amazing than he imagined, and asked, "Poison King, what do you mean by this?" ā€

"I hadn't figured this out at the time, but I had figured it out just now, the purpose of the Shenhou Mansion to arrest Arnau was not on Arnau, but on me." Swing Yi's eyes were cold, and under the firelight, it was extremely sharp, "Simon Wuxian used Anau as a bait, just to attract me to save people." ā€

Qi Ning was surprised and asked, "Are you saying that the Empress Ximen knows that you are in the capital?" ā€

"Maybe he can't be sure, but whether he is there or not, with Arnau as a guide, he can naturally determine my whereabouts." Swing Yi said coldly: "Ximen Wuxian knows more than you think, he must have seen Arnau's identity, and he also knew that if I was in the capital, I would not abandon her." ā€

Arnau had already come over at this time, blinking his eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Master, you said they used me as bait to lure you out?" If that's the case, then why didn't they set up an ambush early and wait for you to get me out of the cell? ā€

Swing Yi glanced at her and said lightly: "If there is an ambush, do you think I can't see it?" Although Simon Wuxian is not weak, if he wants to hold me, he has to weigh his own catties. After a pause, he smiled coldly: "And his purpose is not to catch me, as long as I enter the Shenhou Mansion, his purpose has been achieved." ā€

Arnau was still a little dazed, but Qi Ning vaguely understood, his expression was solemn, and he asked: "You mean, the purpose of the Ximen Shenhou is to implement that the epidemic poison in the capital is related to you?" ā€

Swing Yi nodded and said, "Yes, as long as I enter the Shenhou Mansion, it doesn't matter if I can catch me or not." If I am caught and the Nine Creeks Poison King falls into the hands of the Shenhou Mansion, then the Shenhou Mansion can put any kind of crime on my head. If I escape, they can still tell the emperor that Arnau has an accomplice, and they have broken into the Shenhou Mansion to rob people, and the court will of course believe that the matter is the work of the Holy Sect. Twisting his beard, he said with a smile: "I have a hostage in my hand, and he also knows that once the fight starts, some people in the Shenhou Mansion will have to die, since this is the case, it is better to simply let me go, just because the goal he wants has been achieved." Glancing at Ximen Zhanying, he sneered: "If he is just trying to kill me, even if his daughter is in my hands, he will not have the slightest scruples." ā€

Qi Ning's heart was cold, although he couldn't believe that what Swing Yi said was true, but if this was the case, then Ximen Wuxi's scheming was too deep.

Ximen Wuxian wants to implement the epidemic poison in the capital and is related to the Black Lotus Holy Sect, and the spearhead is also like the King of Huainan, directly pointing at the Black Lotus Holy Sect, could it be that Ximen Wuxian is actually in a group with the King of Huainan?
