Chapter 277: Old Grievances

Uncle Zhong and Old Ghost Du walked to the door of the ruined temple and saw a figure wearing a big coat standing in front of the ruined Buddha statue, facing away from them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Their eyes couldn't help but narrow, it seemed that this person was going to kill them. Judging by this person's age, I am afraid that he is an enemy of the past.

"Please report to Wan'er, so that my two brothers can ......" Before Uncle Zhong's words could be finished, the figure turned around, revealing an old and withered yellow face.

"It's you, I said, who wants to kill us, it's you. Uncle Zhong and Old Ghost Du's eyes widened at the same time, and their faces were full of resentment and shock. "Big brother and third brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. The demon priest arched his hand towards the two, and his face was full of bitter smiles.

"Shut up, Li Qingyuan, do you still have the face to call us that? You killed Miss at the beginning, and now you want to harm us again. Old Ghost Du's body, which had been lying down, also straightened up at this moment, and as soon as he shook his sleeve, he was about to shoot a crossbow arrow.

"Don't be impulsive. Uncle Zhong stretched out his hand and pressed the wrist of the old ghost Du, back then the old ghost Du and the young lady had the deepest relationship, and the young lady almost treated him like a father, no wonder the old ghost broke out at this time.

"Where do I want to kill you, I just want to drive you away, if I really have murderous intentions, you will be poisoned a long time ago. The demon priest hurriedly explained.

The two thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case, and there was no murder in the eyes of those people just now. And, as the demon Taoist priest said, if he applied poison on the side, it would be absolutely difficult for them to resist.

"It doesn't matter if you kill us or not, we have lived long enough anyway, but Miss's matter, your sin is unforgivable. Old Ghost Du's eyes were full of murderous intent when he looked at the demon Taoist.

“...... I really don't know that they bought my poison to deal with Miss, and I don't know how I survived all these years, and I lived in torment almost every day. The year before last, Liu Liu rebelled, and I followed him, as long as he succeeded in his rebellion, I would be able to avenge Miss. The demon priest cried and laughed, and suddenly there was a trace of fanaticism in his eyes, looking like a madman.

"You're still talking nonsense! Aren't you claiming to be unparalleled in the world in the art of poisoning, why don't you poison that person?" Old Ghost Du sneered and asked.

"How do you know I haven't been? But he's so cautious that everything he eats comes from the house, and I don't have a chance to poison him. The demon priest shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

After he finished speaking, Old Ghost Du was about to scold again, but was stopped by Uncle Zhong. "Qingyuan, although the responsibility for what happened back then is not yours, Miss did die because of you. Since you have the heart to avenge Miss, then we will not stop you. If the great revenge is really avenged one day, I will still treat you as a brother. ”

"After taking revenge, I will take poison and commit suicide, my life was saved by the young lady, and I have to return it to her. The demon Taoist glanced at Uncle Zhong gratefully, and then said firmly.

Hearing him say this, Old Ghost Du's face was also a little better-looking. He is not a very unreasonable person, since the demon Taoist priests have said so, he has not continued to be aggressive. "Let's go, and I won't forgive him when he has avenged Miss. ”

Old Ghost Du wanted to pull Uncle Zhong away, but the demon Taoist priest stretched out his hand to stop them.

"I'd better go, you stay here. The demon Taoist tightened the big sword on his body, and stepped into the wind and snow. The snow was already falling heavily outside, staining his gray hair, making him look even older.

didn't take a few steps, it seemed that his feet were slipping, and the whole person stumbled. The depths of Uncle Zhong and Old Ghost Du's eyes also revealed a trace of melancholy.

......

Half a month later, the plague in Jinling City had spread in an all-round way, and the number of people infected was close to 5,000, and there was a panic in the city.

"Brother Hong, your medicine is sure that it won't kill people, but don't have an accident. In the Fang family's house, Xu Kuibi asked Fang Hong with some concern. In the past few days, the pressure of officials in the city has been increasing, and more and more people have fallen ill, and many people have tried their best to leave Jinling City.

"Don't worry, my medicine will only make them feel a little unwell, at most two months, and they will be fine. Fang Hongman waved his hand absently.

The demon priest poisoned the well water in Jinling City, which could make the people in the city have a fever after three months, when the weather was already warm, just in time for the rebels to start a war. Because Fang Hong couldn't catch the demon Taoist, he couldn't get the antidote, if he just did it, then Jinling City would have to fall into the hands of the thieves.

Simply, he did the opposite. He also prepared a poison according to the characteristics of the poison of the well water. This poison can also make people have a fever and weak limbs, but this poison can break out relatively quickly, and it only takes a month to show symptoms.

In this way, the demon Taoist priest would definitely think that his own poison had gone wrong, causing it to explode early. Then there are only two paths in front of him. One is to attack Jinling City now, and the other is to hold on and wait until later to re-poison.

But according to Fang Hong's understanding, Liu Liu and Liu Qi's life is not easy now, if they can't capture Jinling in the first half of the year, they will have to face the embarrassing situation of being attacked from all sides.

Therefore, Fang Hong firmly believed that these people would definitely choose to attack this winter. And now is the coldest time, the rebels want to transfer troops, and the pressure of logistics will be terrifying. If there is a heavy snowstorm and the baggage is not transported in time, then they don't even have to fight, and they themselves will have to collapse.

Even if they don't do it, Jinling City will have nothing to lose. When it comes to the beginning of spring, the army of the imperial court will attack with all its might, and at that time, Liu Liu and Liu Qi will be unable to protect themselves, how can they have the confidence to attack here?

"You are light, there have been many riots in this city, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and if this continues, I will not be able to control the situation. "Xu Kuibi is angry and funny, most of these soldiers are locals, let them suppress the people, where can they do it.

"It's a shame that you're still a little grandfather, and you can't even handle this little thing. In this way, you can find a pharmacy in a while, and let people prescribe a prescription for antipyretic, and say that you have found a cure for the plague, so as to calm people's hearts. Fang Hong rolled his eyes, his poison was not fatal, taking some antipyretic medicine could temporarily relieve it, and in a few months, the toxicity would almost disappear.

"Okay, I'll try it now. Xu Kuibi was teased by Fang Hong a few times, and he was not annoyed, the pressure on him these days is too great, and he has to take care of it from top to bottom, how can he care about this.
