"The nine barbarians in Suizhou have been repulsed, although there is no danger of breaking the city, but it will take a lot of time to repair and rectify......" In the study of Meng's Mansion in Chengdu Prefecture, Song Zhizheng reported to Meng Zhixiang in a low voice.

"Repulsion?" Meng Zhixiang had Bai Lian tied around his waist and stood in front of the window with a gloomy expression: "If that guy Hu Man doesn't die, won't we have no peace forever?" Immediately transfer the tooth army of the surrounding three cities to surround it, I want him to die! ”

"Understood!" When Song Zhi withdrew, Zhao Jiliang hurriedly ran in: "Brother! ”

"Ji Liang, fortunately I chased you back, otherwise ......" Meng Zhixiang hurriedly greeted him, and his sad sigh overflowed.

"The matter of the eldest son and the second son...... I already know, and I ask my brother to mourn on his day...... The person who pretended to be the second son, do you know who it is? ”

Meng Zhixiang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Ma Xifan!" ”

"What?" Zhao Jiliang was shocked: "King Qi? How could it be him? Isn't he dead? ”

"He's not dead...... He not only poisoned my Yiju and Yiyi, but also entered the study and stole my secret letter with Ma Chu......"

"This ...... Brother! If we don't want to fall short, we must change our plans immediately and eat Ma Chu first. ”

Meng Zhixiang shook his head and said, "No!" Although Ma Chu is a mediocre king, his own soldiers and foreign soldiers are strong, and their internal contradictions have not intensified, so our chances of winning hard are not great, let alone ......"

Meng Zhixiang suddenly gritted his teeth, with a look of anger: "That kid blew up the Nine Barbarian Mountain, damaged a lot of my soldiers and horses, and successfully provoked the Nine Barbarians to rebel and attack my Suizhou, and there is a blood debt between me and the Tang Sect!" Now that we want to eat Ma Chu, I'm afraid it's even more difficult! “

"But we have frequently deployed troops during this time, and sooner or later we won't be able to hide it from Dong Zhang, in case he finds out and seizes the opportunity, it will be ......."

"I'm the same as you think, so just in case, I sent a letter to Dong Zhang on the day of the accident and told him that the Nine Barbarians colluded with the Tang Sect and killed our children on the day of the wedding, and now I am going to lead the troops to destroy the Nine Barbarians, and he should immediately send troops to clear the Tang Sect."

Zhao Jiliang was shocked when he heard this: "Brother! You're licking blood from a knife edge! It's a good trick to kill people with a knife, but if Dong Zhang takes the opportunity to enter Shu and turn his forces against us, I'm afraid it will cause a big disaster! ”

"You're wrong!" Meng Zhixiang's face was gloomy and calm: "I don't want to borrow a knife to kill people. I want the surname Dong to accept all the tricks of the Tang Sect for me, and then I will annihilate him and the Tang Sect together! ”

……

Hua Rou and Tang Xiao sat at the stone table in the courtyard of the drug room, looking at each other.

"You...... When did you know that I am...... The Celestial Veiners? ”

"When the inner disciples are selected."

Hua Rou was surprised when she heard this—it was so early......

"The Celestial Veiner, who has a natural sensitivity and intuition for poison, will know it when you find out all the antidote herbs, and ...... Your bloodline power should be far superior to mine. ”

"I ...... More than you? Hua Rou looked at Tang Xiao puzzled.

"Well, I didn't get it all right."

"But...... I didn't find them all......"

"No, you've got it all!" Tang Xiao looked serious: "The poison master didn't tell the truth, because he was afraid that others would harm you after knowing that you were a Tianmai person." ”

Hua Rou was stunned when she heard this, then bit her lip, and then lowered her head in silence.

"Actually, when I first knew that I was a Celestial Veiner, I was just as scared as you, worried that the poison in my body would hurt others, and I also suspected that the poison in my body killed my parents and caused me to become an orphan......

Hua Rou seemed to be startled when she heard this, and looked up nervously: "Kill your parents?!" Will it? ”

"Of course not! The Heavenly Vein can only be inherited by bloodline, and among my parents, there must be someone who is not afraid of poison like us! ”

"Then why do our parents ......?"

"Didn't the poison lord say it? Once the Celestial Veiner becomes strong, he can defeat a hundred, and too many people are afraid of the Celestial Veiner...... They all want to destroy the Celestial Veiners when they are not strong enough. ”

"What do you mean...... Our parents were killed? ”

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "This is the crisis that we must face as Celestial Veiners, so the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, and we must make ourselves truly strong as soon as possible, so that no one can threaten our lives." ”

"But......" Hua Rou looked painfully at the secret room, and stopped talking.

"I know that poison feeding is unacceptable, but the reason why this secret technique has been passed down from generation to generation in the Tang Sect is because it can quickly increase the strength of the Heavenly Veiner, so that it can protect the Tang Sect well."

"Could it be that there are only ...... Heavenly Veiners Is there a way to go? Hua Rou's eyes were full of resistance—she really didn't want her strength to be built on trampling on others.

Tang Xiao could see her pain and entanglement, and his eyes were full of distress: "Yes! Even if you avoid it today, when you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation in the future, you can only rely on a large amount of poison feeding to help you break through the bottleneck...... There is no other way. ”

"What?" Hua Rou interrupted in dismay: "A large amount of poisonous feeding? No! She got up angrily and kept shaking her head: "I can't practice this poisonous skill anymore!" ”

"If you don't practice, you won't practice!" Tang Xiao looked at Hua Rou gently: "It's nothing." It's just that you're still so weak, how can you protect yourself? Do you rely on Mu Junwu? ”

Tang Xiao's initial attitude surprised Hua Rou, and the last question made her even more stunned: "I...... I didn't think about relying on anyone else. ”

"You don't want to rely on others, but the people who love you will do their best to protect you. What do you do when there is an accident and you don't have a protector by your side? ”

"Life and death are fate!" Hua Rou said resolutely: "If there is really an accident, it will be my life, and I will not blame anyone." ”

"If you don't blame others, will they be able to accept the loss of you? They'll just be stuck forever in the abyss of hating themselves for not being strong enough, and regretting that they didn't protect you, you know?! ”

Tang Xiao's gentleness was agitated with emotions between the lines, and these words full of affection touched Hua Rou's heart, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

After a long silence, she said with some sadness: "I understand...... I know what you mean, but I don't want to be a burden to anyone, there are many ways to become stronger, and I'm sure I can find a better way to practice the exercises than like this! ”

Hua Rou looked up at Tang Xiao with a serious face: "I won't throw away my persistence and do whatever it takes to be strong." ”

Tang Xiao stared at the stubbornness and seriousness in Hua Rou's eyes, and suddenly smiled, as if relieved: "If you can think so, I'm relieved." ”

Hua Rou looked at Tang Xiao curiously.

"Actually...... You can escape this secret technique. ”

"Can you escape?!" Hua Rou frowned: "Isn't it impossible?" ”

"Grandma has high hopes for me, and has taught me many secret techniques that others don't know, and I can teach you one of them. It's not a good time for you to give up poison now, and it's best to learn this. ”

"Other secret arts?"

"Well, this secret technique doesn't have to expose you to poison feeding, but it can also help you quickly improve your poison skills!"

"Really? But...... Your injuries are not healed, can you teach me? And it's against the rules of the door to be good at learning secret arts......"

"You are Tang Rou now, and you are a disciple of the Tang Sect, besides, if you and I don't say it, no one will know." Tang Xiao smiled sincerely: "If you are stronger, won't the burden of others be less?" ”

"Tang Xiao, thank you." Hua Rou looked at him gratefully, trying to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

Tang Xiao smiled lightly: "I'll go back first, it's troublesome to be bumped into by the poison master, you secretly came to the bamboo forest to find me in the middle of the night, and I will teach you." ”

Hua Rou nodded: "Okay." ”

"Also, don't be angry with the drug master, she really just wants to protect you."

"yes, I see."

After Tang Xiao left quickly, Hua Rou slowly sat back on the stone bench, she looked at her outstretched hands, and whispered softly: "Dad, mother, are you the Heavenly Veiners?" That's why you're ...... Killed? ”
