Chapter 32: Shock
At night, Zhan Zhao changed into a night suit, lifted his breath and climbed onto the roof, quietly lying in a dark corner to observe the changes around him, the Five Elements Bagua Array itself is not too dangerous, and rashly entering the formation will only trap people in the formation, and the layout of the Xianwang Mansion is dangerous, mainly because he has placed mechanisms at each of the eyes of the formation, once these organs are touched, lightly suffer some sword wounds, and the serious ones will be poisoned and stabbed to death.
Zhan Zhao hid in the heights, it was easier to see the changes in the formation, he silently counted every array eye that could be seen in his heart, according to Mr. Gongsun's speculation, the general layout of the formation at home will not be too complicated, after all, the family people come and go a little carelessly may accidentally injure their own people, according to the pattern of the construction of the Xianwang Mansion, there should be nine formations, and generally the most dangerous one, it should be the Shengmen.
Just as Zhanzhao found the last eye, King Xian, who was also dressed in night clothes, appeared in the night, only to see him look around, and his figure flashed and walked towards the covered bridge in the backyard. Zhan Zhao didn't even think about it, but jumped off the eaves and followed closely behind.
King Xian's light skills are really not bad, which makes Zhanzhao secretly surprised, and he hasn't seen that he knows martial arts at all after getting along with King Xian for a few days, which shows that this person usually hides very deeply.
Zhan Zhao secretly followed King Xian to the covered bridge, and faintly saw that there was already a person waiting on the bridge corridor, he didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered, so he found a dark rockery nearby and hid.
Zhan Zhao's ears are very good, and he heard the man say: "My subordinates have released their tongues in the past few days, and they have found out that someone in Kaifeng Mansion is secretly refining pills, and the person refining the medicine is a woman, Lord Wang, do you think it will be that Xue Feifei?"
King Xian pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "It's not Xue Feifei, it should be the woman who will use the blinding method with Xue Feifei that day, Huang Que, go and ask the finch tongue to know the woman's name?"
Zhan Zhao heard the word Huang Que, and suddenly sounded, Yue Qi had confessed that Huang Que gave him the red porcelain, and instructed him to give the red porcelain to Zhang Yao, it seems that this virtuous king is really related to the red porcelain case.
The yellow finch walked to the edge of the bridge porch, chirping at the sky, and after a while, a few gorgeous finch tongues flew in the sky, standing lightly on the fingers of the yellow finch, and chirping at the yellow finch, the yellow finch nodded while listening, and after a while, the finch was silent, and the yellow finch gently put it into the empty bird cage hanging under the eaves of the bridge.
King Xian watched silently, and when the yellow finch had locked the cage, he asked, "How is it?"
Huang Que said: "That woman's name is Ruoxi, she is Xue Feifei's good friend, and her subordinates have been chanting the word detoxification in her mouth, could it be that the woman named Ruoxi is refining the antidote pill? ”
When Zhan Zhao saw this scene, he was secretly shocked in his heart: it turns out that this yellow finch actually understands bird language, so I am afraid that it will not be safe for the adults to do so, and I have to think of a way to inform the adults.
King Xian snorted and said, "Rouge has been arrested, do you think Yue Qi will still keep secrets?" I'm afraid, your name has already been recorded by the people of Kaifeng Mansion. ”
Huang Que said: "Lord Wang, even if your subordinates are fighting for their lives, they don't think they will let the prince fall into a crisis." ”
King Xian sighed and said, "It's late, do you think Zhanzhao really came to protect this king? It's okay, since the matter has come to this, if you don't do it, this king will take a gamble, you come over... ”
Yellow Bird hurriedly stepped forward, and King Xian whispered in his ear.
Zhan Zhao saw the two of them whispering suddenly, even if his ears were good, he couldn't hear anything, he thought about it, instead of being in a hurry here, it was better to take the risk and try, maybe he could avoid the Five Elements Array, thinking of this, he bent his waist and quietly retreated.
Soon after Zhanzhao left, King Xian stopped whispering to Huang Que, and Huang Que asked curiously, "Lord Wang, what did you just say to your subordinates?"
King Xian sneered and said, "Zhanzhao was hiding behind the rockery over there just now, didn't you find it?"
Huang Que let out an 'ah' and said with a cold face: "My subordinates will go and kill him." ”
"Kill him? Are you Zhanzhao's opponent? If you go and kill him now, the scene just now will be in vain. ”
Huang Que was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "It turns out that you have already discovered him, Lord Wang." ”
King Xian said: "As soon as this king goes out, he will follow this king, and it is really good to do light work, if it wasn't for this king who had already paid attention to him, he might not have found out." ”
"Lord Wang, did you deliberately let Zhanzhao know that we let Bird Tongue spy on Kaifeng Mansion?"
"Yes, Zhanzhao is a big obstacle to my plan, if you don't get rid of him, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future, this king deliberately let him know that everything in Kaifeng Mansion is in the hands of this king, and deliberately let him be anxious, this person is easy to make mistakes when he is in a hurry, although Zhanzhao is strong in martial arts after all, he is a person, this king bets that he will have to fold in this Xianwang Mansion tonight, go, notify the night guard guards, open all the organs, and must capture Zhanzhao alive, this king wants him to know, and the end of the opposition to this king. Also, let your men be ready, tomorrow night you take them to Kaifeng Mansion to rob the prison, and be sure to bring Rouge out alive. ”
"Lord Wang, are you willing to spare Rouge's life?" asked Huang Que unexpectedly.
"If it weren't for the king's change of plan, it wouldn't be a pity to die a hundred times for rouge, but for now, this king still has a place to use her, so let her not die for the time being. As he spoke, King Xian took out a small black box from his sleeve, handed it to Huang Que and said, "Although Zhanzhao is not in Kaifeng Mansion, there is still a white jade hall, you can use this thing to deal with him if necessary." ”
Huang Que took the box and recognized that it was that night that King Xian ordered him to use this thing secretly by Jia Ren's hand to destroy the secret weapon of the Xue family, he knew the power of this thing, carefully put it in his sleeve, and turned away.
King Xian looked at the slightly pale sky, it was another sleepless night, he had long forgotten what it was like to sleep peacefully, every night he was either awakened by endless nightmares, or he was calculating everyone who might become a stumbling block to him, his life was destined to be a battle, and the end was either him or me.
King Xian rubbed the bridge of his sour nose, but decided to go back to rest, there were still many things waiting for him to do after dawn, "Brother Huang, it won't be long before I come and take what should belong to me." Thinking of this, King Xian's eyes became extremely cold, exuding a bloodthirsty light.
Zhang Guifei couldn't calm down for a long time since King Xian came last time, she repeatedly thought about what King Xian said to her, the hand holding the red medicine bottle tightened and loosened, loosened and entered, and repeatedly, finally, she sighed and smashed the medicine bottle to the ground, at the same time, her whole person seemed to be exhausted, slumped on the chair, the whole person was tightly curled up in the chair, and let the tears cover her entire face.
King Xian walked in to watch the scene in front of him, and his heart was already clear, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he picked up the fragments of the broken medicine bottle of Zhang Guifei one by one, and slowly walked in front of her, squinting at her with condescending eyes.
Zhang Guifei heard the movement, and suddenly looked up and saw King Xian quietly looking at herself, she wiped away her tears, slowly got up, held her head high, her eyes also looked directly at King Xian, and said coldly: "Bao Zheng killed my eldest brother, even if I want to take revenge, I will never use such a means, as long as I can see the emperor, I am confident that I can regain the holy favor, King Xian is not bothered to provoke, it is better to help me get out of here as soon as possible, when you and I join forces, we will be able to ask for Bao Zheng's dog head and avenge my eldest brother." ”
King Xian shook his head and said: "This king has always thought that the concubine Niangniang is a smart person, but now it seems that she is also stupid and cute, do you think that if you see the emperor, the emperor will forgive you? ”
Zhang Guifei still did not give up and said: "As long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely succeed, and when the time comes, I will definitely help you." ”
King Xian said, "Unfortunately, I can't wait, so why don't you help me now." As he spoke, he shot like lightning, and a dagger as thin as a cicada's wings pierced deep into Zhang Guifei's chest with the words that had just fallen.
Zhang Guifei's eyes widened, and she collapsed at the feet of King Xian with a look of disbelief.
King Xian casually sprinkled a bottle of white powder on her body, and left the meditation without looking back.
Zhan Zhao woke up in severe pain, and found that he was hanging on the torture platform, his two legs had been discounted, and the whole person was soft and unable to exert any strength at all, he raised his head and looked around with great difficulty, this was a dark room without windows, and the only light came from the oil lamps on the table, in the dimness, he vaguely saw that King Xian was leaning against the corner of the wall and silently watching him, Zhan Zhao struggled to straighten his body, but after a short pause, the pain of broken bones made him gasp.
King Xian slowly approached Zhan Zhao and said coldly: "Zhan Zhao, this king warned you early in the morning, don't provoke this king's Five Elements Array, you have to listen, how does it feel like your legs are broken?"
Zhan Zhao didn't answer and asked, "What do you want Huang Que to do in Kaifeng Mansion?"
"Zhanzhao, you can't protect yourself, and you still want to care about Kaifeng Mansion? Why don't you ask, what do I want to do with you?"
"I am a fish and a man, and Zhanzhao is in your hands, and there is no difference between asking and not asking. ”
King Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm reluctant to kill you, this king keeps you useful." ”
Zhan Zhao frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"
"Shh......h What I want to do, you'll know in a while, calculate the time, Yellow Sparrow should come back, let's wait for him for a while. ”
Kaifeng Mansion Ya
Ruoxi dissolved the newly refined Gu poison antidote with water and gave it to Nuo'er, Yue Qi looked at the pale child lying on the bed with an anxious expression. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and he himself feels that there will often be sudden severe pain in his heart these days, sometimes making him unable to stand even in pain, not to mention Nuo'er, the child's physique is not as good as that of adults after all, Nuo'er ate dinner well two days ago, and suddenly said that his chest hurts, and when the jailer took him from prison to Nuo'er's room, Nuo'er was unconscious, and even Mr. Gongsun was helpless.
Bao Zheng interrogated Rouge overnight and asked him to take out the antidote to Gu poison, Rouge just sneered and said nothing, and threatened to bury Yue Qi and Nuo'er with her, but the upright Bao Zheng was furious but couldn't bear her after all.
When the two were at a stalemate, Xue Feifei remembered Ruoxi's advice before alchemy, and hurriedly took his own blood and poured it into Nuo'er, although he stopped his pain, but the child was still unconscious, and in desperation, everyone had to wait for the results of Ruoxi's alchemy, pinning the last glimmer of hope on Ruoxi's body.
After Nuo'er took Ruoxi's antidote, her body suddenly twitched violently, and the corners of her mouth slowly overflowed with black liquid, Ruoxi saw this, and hurriedly picked up Nuo'er, patted him on the back, and after a few strokes, Nuo'er spit out with a big mouthful, Ruoxi was not too dirty, and softly coaxed Nuo'er to make him vomit hard.
Fei Fei saw that Nuo'er vomited some stomach filth at first, and gradually began to spit out something like black mucus, and there were some bug-like things wriggling in it, Feifei guessed that this should be Gu worms.
Ruoxi saw that Nuo'er gradually stopped vomiting, put him down gently, and took out a red pill from the box where the antidote was released just now, and gave it to Nuo'er, and after a while, Nuo'er fell asleep.
Ruoxi watched Nuo'er, whose breathing was gradually even, breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said to everyone: "Okay, Nuo'er spit out all the Gu worm eggs and Gu worms this time, I think there should be no more poisonous hair in the next few months." ”
Ruoxi gave the remaining antidote to Yue Qi and said, "This time the time is relatively tight, I only refined the amount of medicine for two people, and the rest is for you, take the black one first, and then eat the red pill after spitting it out." ”
Yue Qi took the medicine bottle and glanced at it, and said with a miserable smile: "I'm a person who is going to die after all, and it's a waste to eat it, so it's better to leave it to Nuo'er, so that he can suffer less, I'm a father who can't live with him in this life, this is the only thing I can do for him." As he spoke, he returned the medicine bottle to Ruoxi, Ruoxi glanced at Bao Zheng, saw that Bao Zheng did not stop him, and knew that Yue Qi had also told the truth, so he accepted the medicine bottle again.
At this moment, a servant suddenly broke into the room and said to Bao Zheng: "My lord, it's not good, a group of people in black broke into the prison to rob the prison, and Bai Shaoxia asked Brother Wang and them to help." ”
When Bao Zheng heard this, he immediately ordered the two of them to rush to the prison, Yue Qi glanced at Nuo'er and said to Bao Zheng: "My lord, please let me go too, maybe I can recognize those people." ”
Bao Zheng nodded, instructed everything to be careful, and Yue Qi went with Wang Mahan.
When they arrived, there were many corpses lying in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion at this time, because of the suddenness, and it happened when the jailer handed over the shift, everyone was caught off guard for a while, fortunately, Bai Yutang turned the tide, at this time he was wearing a white robe that was stained with blood in many places, and the man in black was menacing and had the potential to become benevolent if he did not succeed, especially the masked man who was the leader, a long sword in his hand was very powerful, and several brothers died here every time he waved his hand, although Bai Yutang's martial arts were high, how could he have to take care of too many people, his fists were hard to beat four palms, and there were many scars on his body。
Yue Qi stood not far away, and at a glance recognized that the masked man at the head was Huang Que, and hurriedly shouted to Bai Yutang: "Bai Shaoxia, the person in the lead is Huang Que, if you catch him, you will definitely be able to ask the person behind the scenes." ”
Seeing that Yue Qi had broken his identity, the masked man shouted angrily, "Looking for death", raised his hand and swung out a dagger to stab Yue Qi, the dynasty was not in a hurry, and saw the dagger piercing Yue Qi's chest, Yue Qi fell to the ground and died with a muffled snort.
Bai Yutang saw that Huang Que was so vicious, he didn't feel angry, and he stabbed Huang Que one after another with a shadow in his hand, Huang Que saw Bai Yutang's angry eyes, and the sword was more and more powerful every time, knowing that it was not his opponent, he struggled to resist, while reaching into his arms and taking out the small black box given by King Xian, pressing the mechanism on Bai Yutang, 'Brush Brush' instantly shot several silver needles towards Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang was startled, and shouted "Hurry up," but it was too late, several people around him were stabbed, and they fell to the ground to cover their wounds and screamed again and again, Bai Yutang was hit by a needle in his right arm, and the pain was unbearable, and the painting fell to the ground with a bang, and his eyes were dark, and he fainted.
Huang Que saw that Bai Yutang didn't look at him alive or dead when he went to the ground, turned around and ran to the prison, saw the cell where Rouge was locked, swung his sword and slashed, the lock of the cell door fell in response, Rouge was startled, and asked, "Who are you?"
Huang Que pulled down his mask and said, "It's me, come with me." After saying that, he handed Rouge a knife and rushed out first, followed by Rouge.
