Chapter 39: The Poison King's Choice
The weather in early spring, the chirping of birds, the sound of insects.
The low-hanging willows twist their waists in the warm spring breeze, becoming a paradise for birds to fly back and forth. The gentle sunlight fell on the swaying branches, and beautiful pictures were reflected in the green grass, and the knock on the door echoed on the second floor of the dilapidated inn. The door slowly opened, revealing a man standing inside, dressed in a crisp black suit and gold-rimmed glasses.
"Mr. Kim, we can go." The man who knocked on the door bent slightly to Mr. Jin and said very politely. The humble smile makes people feel high spirits when they see it.
"Hmph, Hong Batai has such a big shelf, I have to wait for three days. I don't know what to do! I think his temper is getting bigger and bigger. Mr. Kim grumbled very unhappily, but still walked out under the guidance of the man.
The man who led the way laughed all the time, even though Mr. Kim despised his master so much. He could only detect a trace of unhappiness in his subtle expression, but it gave him a good cover for his lowered head.
"Mr. Kim, my master is waiting for you in the stockade. I'm sorry that there have been a lot of things going on in the past two days. Treat you slowly, and the master will definitely apologize to you in person later. The man said cautiously as he thought about his lines, and the smile on his face almost covered his mouth and nose.
Mr. Kim was noncommittal, but he stopped. Meaningfully looked at the humble man in front of him and said, "Your name is Hongxue, right?" I heard that you are the righteous son of Hong Batai, and you are known to kill people without bloodshed. Hehe, it seems that your sycophant kung fu is not bad. Laughing, Mr. Kim continued to walk outside the hotel.
Hong Xue still lowered his head and smiled, but in those two sharp eyes, all that shot out were terrifying murderous aura. If he raised his head at this time, Mr. Jin would probably be killed by his eyes.
Although the small hotel is dilapidated, it is already a pretty nice place on the main street of the capital of country R. Compared to the surrounding buildings, it is a bit of paradise.
Mr. Jin looked at the hotel behind him in disgust, and said vaguely, "It's all a local old hat, what kind of shelf." Turned around and stepped on the black off-road vehicle in front of him, the bodyguard closed the door for him, and under the leadership of Hong Xue, a convoy of 5 off-road vehicles slowly drove towards the outside of the city.
Almost the entire country of R is surrounded by jungles and mountains. The economic environment here is poor, there are no developed road facilities, and everything that is high-tech seems to be insulated from here. Many ordinary people even live a primitive tribal life, which is very leisurely and free from the world.
The convoy left the city and headed for the vast mountains. There are large areas of cultivation there, and half of the crops in country R are raw materials for the production of drugs, which is why the drug king can rise here.
The road was bumpy, and although it looked like a road, it was just a potholed muddy path.
Country R is so poor that it would be nice to be able to build such a road. But the more you get there, the more difficult it is to walk when you enter the road of Shan, the original muddy path has been reduced by half, and from time to time you will encounter a few large potholes blocking the road.
The occupants of the car were jolting up and down, and Mr. Kim was hit the roof of the car several times. Frightened, he hurriedly fastened his seat belt to prevent the continuous bumps and shattered his bones.
I don't know how long it took, but the convoy finally stopped in a valley. Finally arrived at the place, and Mr. Jin, who was loose and soft-skinned, slowly got out of the car with the support of his bodyguards.
It was a relatively large plain in the valley, and Mr. Kim rubbed his waist from the jolts and pain. As far as the eye can see, the endless fields are full of fertile fields planted with opium poppies, and countless workers are in the sun. Bent over, toiling hard.
They have a simple smile on their faces, because they know that with every scythe, their lives will be better.
"Mr. Jin, please go this way, the master is waiting for you in the main house." With a smile on his face, Hong Blood walked up to Mr. Kim and raised his right hand. Mr. Kim followed his hand and saw that there was a row of beautiful wooden houses, the largest and brightest of them, standing in the middle, showing its extraordinary and noble.
"Humph!" Mr. Kim snorted heavily from his nostrils.
He was very dissatisfied with Hong Batai's approach, he was so arrogant. For himself, the envoy sent from above, he didn't take the initiative to greet him, and he had to go to see him himself! Mr. Jin thought in his heart that when he went back, he must sue Sù Babu and punish this arrogant and rude son well.
Mr. Jin didn't look back, and walked straight to the big house with his bodyguards. Only the embarrassed face was left, and the torrent of blood that was still smirking in place.
The big wooden house was surrounded by proud-looking guards, each five big and three thick, carrying automatic submachine guns, patrolling back and forth. But when they saw Mr. Jin and his party, they immediately got out of the way. As if he had known them for a long time, he changed his arrogance just now, nodded his head with his waist bowed, and lost his true character as a soldier.
Mr. Jin held his head proudly high, and strode towards the main house of the poison king under the humble salute of everyone.
The guard in front of the Poison King's gate just wanted to stop him, but he was immediately knocked down by the bodyguard behind Mr. Jin, and said arrogantly and loudly: "Don't you know Mr. Jin?" You bitch. The arrogance frightened the surrounding soldiers who had just tried to stop them, and they retreated one after another, and none of them dared to step forward.
Mr. Jin snorted heavily, and shouted loudly: "Hong Batai, you are such a big shelf, let me wait for three days." Now that the watchdog is holding me back, I think you really think you're the king of the mountain. ”
But when he walked to the main house, he didn't see the poison king coming out, until the angry Mr. Jin was about to break into the back of the house, and the slow and rational poison king slowly flashed out from behind the screen.
The Poison King looked at Mr. Jin with an angry face, and said with a faint smile: "What's the matter, who made Mr. Jin so angry, sue me, I will definitely give him a good look." ”
Mr. Jin was even more angry, looking at the leisurely drug king in front of him, he was clearly laughing at himself. But he had a task on his side, and he couldn't care about that much, so he said after a two-breath breath.
"Forget it, it's all trivial, don't worry about it. Hung Ba Tai, Mr. Babu asked me to ask you, have you completed the task you carried out? Why hasn't there been any news for so long? ”
The Poison King didn't answer the meaning of his words, turned around, picked up a cup of cold tea on the table, and took a sip gently. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he said, "How is it?" The hotel is comfortable, this place is too poor, I'm afraid you can't get used to it, Mr. Jin. There is no choice but to settle for it. ”
Seeing that the poison king diverted the topic, Mr. Jin was very angry, but he suppressed his temperament and said, "It's not bad, it's okay here." Hong Batai, what I asked you about it just now, but you haven't answered yet, I'm going to hurry back and return to Mr. Babu. The action is about to begin. ”
The Poison King turned around slightly, sat comfortably on the Taishi chair, looked at Mr. Jin in front of him with deep eyes, looked at it for a long time, and then said slowly: "You go back and tell Sù Babu, thank him for his support to me for so many years." But country R is a poor place, as you can see, not so much strength.
I won't be involved in the affairs of the Fuso people, if there is anything else needed, just squeak casually, and I, Hong Batai, will do my best. As for going to Fusang this time, hum, forgive me for not obeying orders, the people I hate the most in my life are Fuso people. ”
"What? You, you, how dare you disobey Mr. Báb's orders? Mr. Jin jumped up and pointed at the poison king in front of him. It was as incredible as hearing the Book of Heaven, and I didn't believe that the Poison King would dare to publicly disobey Babu.
"Yes, I'm disobedient, what do you want. Tell me to help the Sang people, these dogs, I'd rather die than obey. The Poison King also stood up, his eyes fixed on Mr. Jin, and the message from his terrifying eyes was as terrifying as if he was going to choose someone to devour at any time.
Mr. Jin took two steps back in fright, and the arrogance just now was suppressed a lot, but he remembered his identity and immediately became active again.
"Hong Batai, do you know what will happen if you betray Mr. Babu, there is no place to die." Mr. Jin was viciously intimidated, and his eyes met the eyes of the poison king fearlessly, without any intention of retreating.
The Poison King sneered, and in Mr. Jin's opinion, that smile was simply cold to the bones.
"I, Hong Batai, have been working for Mr. Babu since ten years ago, and all three of my sons have died for your bullshit jihad. How dare you talk to me like that now? Let's tell you clearly, today's Hong Batai is no longer the Hong Batai of the past. I have such a large territory, do I still need to listen to your command? Go back and tell your master, it's best to be honest and have nothing to do. If you provoke me, even if you hit your nest, I will also slaughter him. The Poison King replied viciously.
"You, you dog bastard. Can you have today, forgetting who gave it to you? If Mr. Barb hadn't promoted you, you'd still be a dog under Carson's hand. Perhaps, I will die long ago on the road I don't know, you mad dog. ”
Mr. Jin pointed at the poison king's nose unscrupulously, and his saliva splashed the poison king's face.
The Poison King had a gloomy face and shouted in a low voice: "It seems that you are shameless to give you face, and you dare to challenge my authority in my territory." Well, since you don't want to live, I don't have to leave any way back. I just tore my face and let Babu know how good I was. Let you be faithful to the Báb! ”
As he spoke, he shouted outside, "Come on, arrest these dog mongrels for me." Drag it to the field and bury it, and fertilize our land well. ”
Roar, several deafening roars came from outside, and the flood of blood seemed to have turned into a killing god of hell, and was the first to fly in from outside the house with arrows. With a twist of his hands, Mr. Jin was like a chicken, and he was steadily carried in the air looking at Mr. Jin, who was colorless and trembling in his hands, without any majesty. Hong Blood showed a cruel smile on his face, and said with a smile: "How is it, Mr. Jin, I will let you know how I killed people without seeing blood." ”
No matter how much Mr. Jin wailed, dragged him and walked out.
The bodyguards at the door have all been scrapped, and they are all lying in a pool of blood at the moment. Mr. King saw the terrible condition of his men, and he continued to twitch on the mud floor. Suddenly, he understood that everything was over, and he regretted why he was so uncalm just now, and actually wanted to provoke this murderous demon king.
But it was too late to regret it, and only the strong, calloused hands of Hong Blood greeted him.
After a while, the blood came back again.
"Are you done?" The Poison King asked softly.
"All of them are slaughtered, and there is not one left." Flood Blood replied.
The Poison King turned around, and Hong Xue suddenly found that the Poison King seemed to be many years older, and deep wrinkles were faintly hanging all over his face.
"What should come will always come, wait, the storm is coming." Both fell silent. The blood knew that the Báb would not let them go lightly.
