Chapter 83: A Difficult Assassination
Of course it's impossible.
It is said that more than a year ago, Gongming was injured by Yang Jian's roaring dog, and took Hu Jiaomei, who was crushed by the demon pill, to find Nuwa Niangniang for treatment thirty-three days away, but he was blessed by misfortune and was given some resting earth to repair the soul.
Nuwa Niangniang is known as the Mother of the Earth, and the earth is her unique supreme treasure of the earth system, which is the most beneficial to the divine soul, and even the Tongtian Sect Master can rarely find a piece. Gongming got the rest of the earth, and it took more than a year to integrate it all into the divine soul, not only the injuries caused by the roaring dog have already been repaired, but the divine soul is also stronger than before the injury, and the skill is also on a higher level.
He wanted to leave Nuwa Palace, but at this time, Hu Jiaomei was still recuperating from her injuries, her injuries were too serious, and even with the help of resting earth, it would take at least a few months to recover. Gongming is also a reasonable person, naturally it is not easy to leave Hu Jiaomei and leave by himself, but he brought the younger generation from Chaoge City to Enzhou to find Su Daji that day, but the younger generation was seriously injured, if she is not sent back to Xuanyuan Tomb completely, it is not easy for the Qingqiu clan to talk, this kind of thing spreads, he Zhao Gongming will have no face in the circle.
Helpless, he had to practice in Nuwa Palace for more than three months, until Hu Jiaomei finally recovered and came out of the customs, then took her to resign to Nuwa Niangniang and escorted her back to the Qingqiu clan in Xuanyuan Tomb.
Originally, when things got here, he was relieved. Next, go to Yang Jian's master Yuding Zhenren's tantrum and blackmail some compensation, and then find a way to visit Daji's sister in the palace to see if she is tired of staying in the palace, whether she wants to continue to hang out with herself, and don't be too chic in her future life.
But when he was about to leave the Qingqiu Clan, a piece of news aroused his interest.
Hu Yumei, a thousand-year-old pipa spirit sent out by Xuanyuan Tomb to plague the Shang King's country, finally infiltrated the Shang King's palace, but was killed by life. This is tantamount to a great shame for the Qingqiu clan, and the Qingqiu Ancestor was furious about this, and personally calculated that it was Su Daji who killed Hu Yumei. This revenge, the Qingqiu clan must be avenged.
But Su Da has hid in the palace of the Great Shang King, that place is blessed by the luck of the world, and the older generation of masters do not dare to enter at all, if it is not for the invitation of the Shang King, it will be a thunder on the spot, directly split into ashes. The younger generation of disciples, such as Hu Yumei and others, although they can enter, they can only pretend to be mortals, but it is difficult for them to pass the noon gate guards.
Helplessly, Qingqiu Ancestor had to open the altar again to calculate, only to calculate that in about a few months, Su Daji would disguise herself and leave Chaoge City, which was a good opportunity to kill her to take revenge. Immediately, Qingqiu Ancestor decided to send his disciples to guard outside Chaoge City, just waiting for Su Daji to leave the city, and then kill her to avenge Hu Yumei.
This task, in the end, fell on Hu Ximei, who was still hanging outside Chaoge City, anyway, she couldn't find a chance to enter the palace, and she was idle, just looking for something to do. Moreover, this kind of task of killing a mere mortal is not worth being a master of the older generation, Hu Ximei is Hu Yumei's good sister, and it is appropriate for her to come forward. As for Hu Jiaomei, who had just recovered, although she also wanted to go to avenge her sister in person, the clan gave her another important task, but she was inconvenient to participate in this matter.
Hu Ximei received the task, so she stayed outside Chaoge City with peace of mind, until Huang Xue followed Jiang Wenye's team out of Chaoge City. Although Hu Ximei didn't know how Huang Xue disguised herself, she had lived with Hu Yumei for many years and could sense the jade pipa hidden in Huang Xue's body, so she quickly locked on to the target.
She didn't know that someone had already followed her at this time, but it was Zhao Gongming who got the news.
Hu Ximei is a nine-headed pheasant spirit who has achieved cultivation, and her spells are much stronger than Hu Yumei's, in addition to the innate flying technique, the charm technique that the sisters practice together, she is best at using poison. Among the younger generation, she is the most outstanding in making and using drugs.
So, she also disguised herself as an ordinary soldier, blended in with the three thousand sergeants, and had the art of seduction, but she was not afraid of being noticed.
Who knows, this day is the beginning of Hu Ximei's suffering.
The discipline in the army is very strict, and Huang Xue has suffered a lot for this, and Hu Ximei is naturally no exception. She has great ability, and it is impossible for her to charm nine people in a team at the same time. With an army of more than 3,000 people, if it is discovered, there is only one way to die, and how to survive in the team has become the first problem Hu Ximei faces.
She doesn't have the yellow wolf top of Huang Xue, so she can only use the most primitive method of disguising herself as a man, and in order to hide her bumpy figure, she wraps seven or eight layers of chest cloth. The weather in August is too hot, and the shorts and shorts are too hot, let alone her. For the first time, she hated the human body that she had cultivated with great difficulty, and she loved sweating secondly, mainly because she had prickly heat, which was so itchy that she wanted to peel off her skin.
Objectively speaking, this may be the real Mulan in the army.
What's even more hateful is that when it comes to resting at night, she doesn't dare to wear lighter clothes, but she still wraps them tightly. In this way, she became an outlier in the team, and the soldiers in the same team laughed at her, plus she was petite, so some inevitable troop bullying occurred, and she really did a lot of work such as washing people's feet and emptying the toilet.
Eating is also a big problem, she is a demon clan, she loves to eat meat on weekdays, but the grain and grass in the army, how can there be so much meat, either green vegetables or radishes, three days, her already petite body, and she has lost weight twice.
Finally, one day, the army caught two wild boars in the field, and the cook cooked them to comfort the army, and she also got a small piece of pork, which made her saliva flow three feet long, but she was bullied again, and the meat that had not smelled a few times was snatched away by the captain of the same team, so that she took a lot of effort to resist the urge to kill the captain on the spot.
Anyway, she is also an old monster who has been cultivating for hundreds of years, and if her fellow clan knows that she has been bullied by humans like this, she doesn't know how to laugh at her. Whenever she thinks of this, she often secretly wipes her tears in the middle of the night. Thinking of the earnest entrustment of the ancestor of the clan, she wiped away her tears the next day, became strong again, and continued to work towards the goal.
What is the most important thing about being a monster? Undoubtedly, perseverance. Under Hu Ximei's tenacious persistence, she finally waited for the opportunity.
The rules in the army are very strict, and there are rules for eating, basically, according to the order of the hundred-man team, they take turns to go up to eat, and they have to take turns to sentry. Hu Ximei's 100-person team and Huang Xue's 100-person team are separated by three, under normal circumstances, Huang Xue left after eating, and Hu Ximei was still queuing. But one day, perhaps God took pity on Hu Ximei and let the two hundred-person teams among them take the lead to explore the way, Hu Ximei finally met Huang Xue on the stove.
Hu Ximei's mood was already too excited at this time, and considering her own safety, she reluctantly suppressed the urge to kill Huang Xue in person, and found an opportunity to put poison in Huang Xue's dishes, so she waited for Huang Xue to be poisoned and died.
She didn't know that Huang Xue didn't eat the dishes in the army, and the result of the matter had been mentioned before, killing the wrong person.
Hu Ximei was very disappointed and couldn't understand the result. But then she thought of what happened to her, she was relieved, it seemed that Huang Xue was not as good as herself in the army, and even the turnips and greens were robbed, which instantly made her feel a little balanced.
Hu Ximei could only continue to wait silently, but fortunately, God rewarded her for her diligence and finally let her wait for the opportunity again.
On this day, during the march, Hu Ximei's ten-person team was sent to the back of Huang Xue's team, and there were only three people between her and Huang Xue, but the distance was only three or four feet, and with her kung fu, it was enough to shoot the poisonous needle into Huang Xue's body. So, she quietly took out the poison needle and held it in the palm of her hand.
Zhao Gongming has used stealth spells to follow the team in the past few days, and watching the encounter between Huang Xue and Hu Ximei every day, he also found it very interesting, so he treated it as if he was watching a play, and did not intervene. At this time, Hu Ximei's murderous move was made, and Zhao Gongming already felt it. Naturally, he couldn't let Hu Ximei succeed, Hu Ximei shot a poisonous needle, he suddenly used a spell to trip the person behind Huang Xue, and the person stumbled forward, just blocking the poisonous needle, and died on the spot.
This kind of inconsequential mortal, in the eyes of an earth immortal like him, who has cultivated for thousands of years, is really no different from an ant.
As a result, Hu Ximei once again failed unluckily. This time, because she was too close to the deceased, she was also implicated in the investigation in the army, and it took all her mana to charm the three overseers who came to investigate at the same time, and she was barely confused.
Although she successfully protected herself, this time, Hu Ximei has begun to lose patience. After two days of hard thinking, she decided that she no longer cared about the lives of other mortals, and vowed to complete the task in one fell swoop. In fact, she didn't know that she could still live in this army for a few days, and she would not eat meat for many days, so that her demonic spirit had begun to lose her restraints, and she was afraid that it would not be long before she would backfire on herself. Even if he was chased and killed by a righteous monk because he had killed too many people, it was much happier than such an aggrieved death.
That night, while her teammates were asleep, she used her magic to transform into the original form of a nine-headed pheasant and sneaked out of her camp.
She wanted to go directly to Huang Xue's camp and poison everyone, but Zhao Gongming attracted the patrolling guards and chased her for more than a mile with bows and arrows before she successfully flew away. So, she found a small forest on the road ahead, set up a smoke trap in advance, and waited for the army to arrive. This time, she was 100% sure.
The reality disappointed her again, Zhao Gongming secretly drove the strong wind, blew away her poisonous smoke, and only poisoned a dozen inconsequential unlucky ghosts.
At this time, Hu Ximei also began to doubt, could it be that this Su Da really has the protection of heaven?
So, Hu Ximei, who fell into madness, after preparing for many days, finally resorted to the last resort, she wanted to poison all the 3,000 people, she didn't care about the consequences, she just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, and then leave this hellish team quickly.
This time, it was Komeito's carelessness and failure to arrive in time, but she finally succeeded.
