Chapter 48: Booby-Trap

Xiong Xijian felt that this was an opportunity, people had already told the truth, if he still hid it, it would definitely cause Lin Shan's dissatisfaction.

He decided to seize the opportunity, firstly, in order for his son to gain a firm foothold in the Tongshan faction in the future, it must be much better to have such a senior brother than he worked hard in the past;

What needs to be done now is to get this forest mountain.

He nodded and said, "Don't hide it from your envoy, there are indeed people above Benhou." But it's not my relationship, it's a friend of mine, I'm just following a little bit of light. ”

Xiao Chen pouted: "In this way, since it is not your relationship, these care you receive must have a price, right?"

Xiong Xijian pretended to have a miserable expression: "No, it's just looking up to people and looking at people's faces everywhere." Ben Hou can't help it, who let us have no one above, for the safety of the family, I have to bow my head. ”

"That's why it's not easy for the nobles. Xiao Chen made the appearance of a person who had come over and said, "It's still a good sect, as long as you don't make a rebellious move, who dares to trouble us?"

Xiong Xijian nodded again and again, he had even made a generous gift list in his heart, no matter what, he wanted to win Lin Shan over.

After Xiong Qiwei came, he was asked by him to kowtow to your envoy, the weight of etiquette, when he saw the emperor, it was nothing more than that.

Then, before it got dark, the table was already full of all kinds of delicacies, and the father and son took turns to change cups with the envoys of the Tongshan faction.

Xiao Chen discovered the previous little marquis, not useless, at least he has a very strong ability - a thousand cups not drunk.

Chinese people are accustomed to enhancing their feelings at the wine table, so Xiong Xijian took advantage of the strength of the wine and quietly stuffed the prepared gift list into his hands.

Xiao Hou Ye opened it and saw that it was densely listed: 300 high-grade soul spirit grasses, 300 high-grade soul spirit stones, three bottles of meridian dredging pills, a high-grade blessing sword, and 100,000 treasure money.

Generous, this guy must have been searching for people's fat and ointment on weekdays, otherwise how could he be so rich.

He deliberately pretended not to understand, and said: "Master Xiong, why is this, as the saying goes, no merit is not punished, and it is a task assigned by the master to greet your son when you come down to greet your son, how can you accept such a heavy gift?"

Xiong Xijian hurriedly explained: "Your envoy, Ben Hou is asking for you, just now we talked about the royal attitude towards the nobles, I really want you to help introduce it, if you can catch the line of your uncle, Ben Hou also has a heavy gift." ”

Lin Shan suddenly realized: "I see, I said! But this matter cannot be said here, in case the wall has ears, the consequences are unimaginable." In this way, Master Hou, you can arrange a safe place, preferably in the wilderness, and there can be no one around, so that I can tell you Uncle Shi's name. ”

Xiong Xijian agreed without hesitation: "Fifteen miles out of the city, there is a climbing pavilion, which is Benhou's private territory, with cliffs on one side and mountain roads that are difficult for ordinary people to climb on the other, absolutely ensuring safety." ”

"Okay, let's go over there!"

For the sake of the heavy gifts, "Lin Shan" reluctantly agreed that Xiong Qiwei could go together, but he could only stay at the foot of the mountain and could not go up to the high pavilion.

In this way, Xiong Xijian took his four bodyguards, took his son and the envoy sent by Tongshan, and came to the Denggao Pavilion under the cover of night.

After asking the envoy to take a seat, he couldn't wait to make a request.

Xiao Chen smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult to introduce you to Uncle Shi, he has never looked down on Xungui, or even looked down on him. But if it is replaced by a noble son, there should be no problem, can Master Hou understand my words?"

"Yes. He nodded.

Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly widened, and he said behind his back, "Senior Brother Yan Feng, why are you here?"

Xiong Xijian was no stranger to this name, and another envoy also came? He subconsciously looked back, and at this moment, Xiao Chen released two leaf martial spirits.

Before Xiong Xijian could react, he was cut off by Ye Ziwu's martial spirit, and Xiao Chen grabbed him in one step, threw him to the ground, and pressed a sharp dagger against his throat.

The incident happened between the lightning and flint, and until he was completely subdued, Xiong Xijian did not make any resistance moves, and shouted in his mouth: "Your envoy, why is this?"

The little marquis smiled: "Stupid pig, Lao Tzu is not a noble envoy! I might as well tell you that Yan Feng and Lin Shan, who were in charge of picking up your son, had already been killed by me." ”

"You, who are you?" Xiong Xijian wanted to resist, but found that his hands and feet were no longer obedient, and he had no martial soul to use, so now he could only be abused.

"Don't you think I'm familiar, that's right. The little marquis said very meaningfully: "A few days ago in Suiyang County, you almost killed me." ”

"You...... Are you Xiao Chen?" Xiong Xijian finally guessed.

"Let me ask you, is Team Leader Chen, who was with you at the time, specifically dealing with Xungui?" he asked sharply, and at the same time moved the dagger, cutting into the other party's neck half a minute deep, and said, "You'd better answer honestly, otherwise I'll cut your throat!"

Only now, Xiong Xijian thought of a sentence - pie will not fall from the sky, if it weren't for the fact that he was too greedy and too uncontrollable, how could he end up like this?

His son Xiong Qiwei was at the foot of the mountain, but he didn't dare to shout loudly, so he could only cooperate: "That's right, it's the person sent by Pi Zhendong's brother-brother, and we dare to do something to your Xiao family when he comes." ”

"Pi Zhendong's brother-brother, what is your identity?" Xiao Chen asked again.

"His name is Pi Zhennan, and he left home alone more than 20 years ago to work hard, and then somehow joined a mysterious organization. In order to survive, Xiong Xijian could only choose to pour beans from a bamboo tube: "This organization is dedicated to dealing with Xungui, it is said that Pi Zhennan's position is not high, but he has real power in his hands, and there are countless Xungui in his hands." Your Xiao family's fiefdom found the Soul Stone Mine, which made Pi Zhendong's eyes red, so he united a few of us, plus Pi Zhennan as a backer, and sent Team Leader Chen with five hundred officers and soldiers to find trouble with your family. This was all planned by Pi Zhendong, and I was just a follower. ”

"How did you find Pi Zhennan?" asked the third question.

"I've never met this man, and I don't know where he lives. Xiong Xijian said: "Even Pi Zhendong himself has not seen his brother for more than ten years, and every time he contacts him by letter. Last time, we parted ways, Team Leader Chen was responsible for going back to report the situation, and then bring the news back, as long as we could catch Team Leader Chen, it would be possible to find Pi Zhennan. Xiao Xiaohou, I have said everything I know, you can let me go. ”

"Okay!" Xiao Chen said, but his right wrist made a cutting motion.

The wrist bone has been refined by soul bones, and its strength is much higher than that of people of the same level, so with an understatement, Xiong Xijian's throat was cut along with the major arteries.

Ahem......

Xiong Xijian looked at him with wide eyes, and the little marquis stood up and said, "You have to thank me in a while, I will let your son accompany you to see the king of Hades, and you will not be alone on the road." ”

A quarter of an hour later, he came to the foot of the mountain and took the initiative to flatter Xiong Qiwei with a knife.
