Chapter 192: A Powerful Enemy Is Approaching
When Ling Muyun and Su Quan appeared in front of Xu Xueting and Lu Gaoxuan together, everyone was still extremely surprised, obviously they didn't expect that the person they were still talking about when they would be able to come back last night would appear in front of them so soon. And when Ling Muyun expressed his willingness to work with everyone to deal with Hong Antong, everyone was even more excited, with Ling Muyun joining, they were much more confident in the face of Hong Antong.
And seeing the intimacy that Ling Muyun and Su Quan inadvertently showed, everyone also vaguely guessed why Su Quan was able to invite Ling Muyun. But the wise ones didn't say anything, and as for what they thought in their hearts, only they knew.
Ling Muyun and the others didn't know that just as they were discussing how to deal with Hong Antong, the target they were discussing had already come to the capital!
……
In the capital, Stone Hutong, Yihong Courtyard, Qi Yuankai cautiously came to a room in the backyard, and said respectfully: "Qi Yuankai, the head of the sect of Qiqi, the incense master of the Beijing branch of the Black Dragon Gate, will meet you." ”
An old voice rang out in the room: "Come in!" ”
"Yes."
Qi Yuankai replied respectfully, gently pushed open the door, and walked into the room.
There was a septuagenarian sitting in the room, with gray hair, a long beard hanging down his chest, and a face full of scars and wrinkles, extremely ugly, but when he sat there, it was like a mountain, and there was a powerful momentum emanating from it, it was Hong Antong, the leader of the Divine Dragon Sect.
After Qi Yuankai entered the door, he knelt down and kowtowed, and recited respectfully: "The sect leader is immortal and blessed Qi Tiangao, and the sect members are loyal to the headshot." The leader of the sect steadies the ship of ten thousand years and rides the wind and waves to be heroic! The dragon flew into the sky and looked up, and the voice of the sect leader covered all directions. Everyone is born for the master, everyone dies for the leader, the master's orders should be obeyed, and the leader is like the sun and the moon! The Sermon of the Leader is always in mind. Defeat the enemy, nothing can be done! ”
Hong Antong nodded slightly and said, "Qi Yuankai." How have you done what I told you? ”
"Sect Master, my subordinates have already found out about Madame's news......"
Before Qi Yuankai's words could be finished, Hong Antong was furious: "What madam, that slut has already betrayed the sect master." It's no longer the wife of the sect master, and you still call her Mrs., don't you want to betray the sect master too? ”
As he spoke, Hong Antong waved his sleeves. Suddenly, a huge force surged out, like an angry tide on Qi Yuankai's body, Qi Yuankai's blood suddenly spurted wildly, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken line, and hit the wall with a "bang", knocking the wall ash to the ground.
Qi Yuankai coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and struggled to get up from the ground. Forcibly endured the injury and kowtowed to Hong Antong again and again: "The subordinates should die, the subordinates just made a mistake for a while, and they don't feel that they have the heart of rebellion and rebellion. ”
Qi Yuankai can know. Since the sect leader's wife and a group of high-level sect members defected collectively, Hong Antong has become extremely suspicious, and his methods have become more and more ruthless, once he suspects that he is disloyal to him, he often does not need evidence to eradicate it, and everyone in the sect dares to be angry but dare not speak, just in recent days, there are already hundreds of sect members who have been killed by Hong Antong himself, among which there are no less than twenty people with higher positions than him and no less than his honorable status, Qi Yuankai does not want to be the next one. Therefore, even if he was seriously injured, he still got up as soon as possible to ask for his loyalty, for fear that he would be killed by Hong Antong directly here.
Hong Antong's eyes were staring at Qi Yuankai like an eagle falcon, as if he wanted to see if what Qi Yuankai said was sincere. Qi Yuankai only felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious wild beast, and a huge pressure that almost wanted to suffocate him rushed to his face, only to break out in a cold sweat on his back, and his heart was extremely terrified. Despite this, he still tried to maintain a solemn and loyal expression on his face, because he knew that as long as he showed a strange expression, so that Hong Antong could misunderstand that he had different ambitions, he was afraid that he would attract a fatal thunderous blow.
Hong Antong stared at Qi Yuankai for a long time, and finally withdrew his sharp gaze like a falcon, and asked lightly: "Didn't you just say that you have found out the news of that slut and those traitors, where are they now?" ”
Qi Yuankai couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that the danger was over for the time being, and hurriedly said: "So that the sect leader can know that according to the report of his subordinates, although they did not have any contact with the Beijing branch of the Black Dragon Gate under their command after they came to the capital, they got in touch with Lu Gaoxuan, who came to the capital with our head envoy before, and is now living in the mansion of our head envoy in the capital." ”
"What? The black dragon made him dare to accept those traitors! Could it be that even he betrayed the sect master? Hong Antong stood up suddenly and asked with an angry face.
"Sect Master Qiqi, this is not easy to say, as far as his subordinates know, the head of the house has left the mansion a few days ago, it seems that he has not returned yet, and his subordinates do not know where he went, only Lu Gaoxuan and a maid were left in the mansion, so it is probably not the idea of the head of the house to accept Xu Xueting and others into the mansion, most of it is Lu Gaoxuan's own opinion."
"That's good, that's good."
Hong Antong breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't care about other people's betrayal, but he couldn't care less about Ling Muyun. After all, Ling Muyun claimed to be a disciple of Lu Dongbin, and he came to vote for him in accordance with the will of heaven, and his identity as the reincarnation of Emperor Chen was also confirmed by Ling Muyun, if even Ling Muyun betrayed him, wouldn't it mean that his identity as an immortal reincarnation was also debatable? This is something he can't accept in any way.
If it was only Lu Gaoxuan's betrayal, he wouldn't care, although Lu Gaoxuan's status in the Divine Dragon Sect was not low, it was still one level worse than the Five Dragon Envoys. He didn't even care about the betrayal of the Five Dragon Envoys, and even personally killed the Red Dragon Envoy Rootless Daoist and the White Dragon Envoy Zhong Zhiling under the palm of his hand, what is one more Lu Gaoxuan? It's just that when the time comes, you need to kill one more person.
"Now that you have found out the hiding place of that group of traitors, you will lead the way for this sect master, and I will personally slaughter this group of traitors one by one, so that they know and know the fate of betraying this sect master!"
Qi Yuankai showed a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Sect Master, why don't you wait for half a day before you go?" The Qing court has recently imposed martial law on the entire capital, and there are many Qing soldiers patrolling and questioning on the streets, and the interrogation is very strict, and it is said that they are arresting an assassin who has trespassed into the palace forbidden. ”
There are some things that Qi Yuankai didn't dare to say, if someone else went to the street, it would be nothing, after all, the land of Beijing is prosperous and luxurious, people from all walks of life gather, and the population is not less than one million, although the Qing court is under martial law, it is impossible to check everyone, just find some suspicious people to investigate. If it is an ordinary Jianghu person, he only needs to take away the reckless spirit of the rivers and lakes a little, and there will be nothing to do. But Hong Antong can't, not to mention the fierce anger when he is old, and he still has scars on his face, he doesn't look like a good person at first glance, if he is bumped into by the Qing soldiers patrolling on the street, it will definitely attract suspicion.
Of course, Hong Antong can also choose to change his disguise, there are not many disguise masters in the Shenlong Sect, and it is not difficult to dress Hong Antong unobtrusively. But what is Hong Antong's identity? As the leader of the Divine Dragon Sect, you rule over tens of thousands of sects, and you are used to honor, how can you change your disguise in order to avoid the nuisance of the Qing soldiers? Qi Yuankai knew that it was impossible even if he thought about it with his ass.
Hong Antong glanced at Qi Yuankai coldly: "How does this sect leader act, and I still need you to dictate?" Are you looking for death? ”
"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates don't dare, it's the subordinates who trespass, and they ask the master for forgiveness." Qi Yuankai was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a "plop", his expression was terrified, and he kept kowtowing, until his forehead was broken, and blood trickled down.
Hong Antong just looked at Qi Yuankai kowtowing on the ground coldly, until his forehead was already blurred with flesh and blood, and then he said lightly: "Okay, get up, for the sake of you still having some use, I will spare you this time, if there is a next time, you don't have to live in this world and waste food anymore, go into Longtan to give the dragon belly." ”
Longtan is actually the place where all kinds of poisonous snakes are raised in the sect on Shenlong Island, and the people in the Shenlong Sect think that the name of the snake pond is ugly, so it is called Longtan. There is a kind of punishment in the Shenlong Sect that the guilty person is fed with the special antidote and paralyzing medicine made by Shenlong Island, and then thrown into the dragon pool, so that ten thousand snakes can bite it. Because of taking the antidote medicine in advance, the people who enter Longtan will have a certain degree of immunity to snake venom, so they will not be poisoned by the poisonous snake for a while, and because they have taken anesthetic, they can't move up and down their bodies, and can only watch the poisonous snake bite themselves, but they can't even commit suicide, they can only bear it silently, and they often have to endure a long time of torture in Longtan before they die.
Because this punishment is extremely cruel, and the suffering of the victim is simply incomparable, this punishment can be regarded as one of the heaviest punishments even in the Divine Dragon Cult, and generally only those who have committed a major crime such as apostasy will be sentenced to this punishment. Hong Antong said this, you can imagine the anger in his heart. As he said, if it weren't for being in the capital, Qi Yuankai, who was the head snake of the land, would still be of some use to him, and he might have really killed Qi Yuankai with one palm.
"Thank you for the sect leader's grace of not killing, and my subordinates will definitely do their best to serve the sect leader to repay the sect leader's great kindness." Qi Yuankai was pardoned, he didn't care about the injury on his forehead, and knocked his head on the ground a few times before he stood up.
Hong Antong waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, don't waste time here, show me the way." ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
Qi Yuankai, who had already been taught a lesson, didn't dare to say a word more, when even if he endured the injuries on his body, accompanied Hong Antong out of Yihong Courtyard, summoned a sedan chair, ordered a few branch disciples to act as sedan chair men, and carried Hong Antong straight to Ling Muyun's mansion outside Xuanwu Gate.
