Chapter 49: Planting Poison
......
......
This is a world of natural selection, to poke their heads out of the layers of reeds on the shore of the North Sea, to have the first right to feed among the wolves on the grassland, they or they need to abandon the so-called "fragile emotions", the saints are ruthless, to the human heartless, otherwise it is not enough to be detached.
The courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion was silent, and the pools of corpses and blood on the ground were all shaken by the previous shock, and they were squeezed under the courtyard walls on both sides, as if they had been swept by the hands of the gods, and the blood turned into a very proper red paint, on which fell a few newly fallen green leaves.
With these green leaves as the boundary, the two brothers of Si Gu Jian and Shadow sat under the two stone steps, seriously injured and speechless, looking at each other indifferently.
At this moment, a dense whistling sound of breaking wind suddenly came from outside the City Lord's Mansion, like more than a dozen trebuchets, and at the same time launched an attack on the City Lord's Mansion, grinding the big stone, cutting the air.
Si Gu Jian's face remained unchanged, and the shadow face remained unchanged, Fan Xian was walking towards the shadow at this time, and his complexion did not change at all, because the three of them heard clearly, it was not a stone that broke the void. It's a person, it seems to be a bloody case in the city lord's mansion. finally alarmed those masters who were obsessively guarding outside the sword house.
The little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty came to Dongyi City. With the two nine-rank masters, Wolf Tao and He Daoren, it is unknown whether there are any hidden masters in Tianyimen who are hiding in the shadows to guard. And since yesterday, all the disciples of the Sword House have returned from their respective cultivation places. Guarding in front of the sword house. Silently awaiting the will of the Master.
Both sides add up. There are more than a dozen nine-rank masters, think about the entire Qingguo Kyoto, and now there are only two powerhouses on the nine-grade level. People have to feel a little surprised and envious of the special place in Dongyi City, so many masters of the land broke through the sky at this time, and the momentum was really a little shocking.
There was a lot of wind in the field. Yun Zhilan and Wolf Tao led everyone. And so it swept over the blood and water all over the ground. The two frowned. Subconsciously looked at my feet. Then he saw the scene of the house clearly, and at the same time found the people he cared about the most.
Wolf Tao saw His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty seemed to be fine. It's just that his face is a little pale. couldn't help but be overjoyed, and led his subordinates to surround the little emperor. Aim to keep him safe and keep his eyes watched. threw himself at Fan Xian.
Over there, Yun Zhilan saw the seriously injured Kei sitting on the ground under the stone steps and looking around at the sword. But his face changed drastically. Hurriedly rushed over. Not as good as words. His knees slammed on the ground and he fell to his knees.
This sword leader couldn't hide the weirdness on his face at all. It's not that he cares about how Master Shizun will punish himself afterwards, since he dares to go against the will of Master and secretly trade with the Northern Qi people, a sword heart has already been prepared. At this time, he looked at the tragic situation in the interior of the City Lord's Mansion. Looking at the Lord of the Dead Castle and those masters in the palace. He naturally knew who was the one who did it.
Since Master Shizun personally took action, he naturally showed his attitude, which shocked Yun Zhilan. Master Venerable could have been injured so badly!
All the disciples of the Sword House knelt beside the sword. With shock. Look at the master's injuries with anger.
In the hearts of these people, there is only one place in this world that can be compared with Master Venerable. There are only those great grandmasters, even if Master Shizun has been injured for three years, but the only ones who can hurt him are still the Emperor of Qingguodi, and the nowhere Ye Liuyun.
A disciple of the Sword Lu began to tremble with his hands to bandage the injuries of the Sigu Sword, in his heart, the master is a god-like person, especially in the word sword, and he is the absolute number one person in the world, but today he was actually stabbed in the chest by someone in a row Two swords, who did it?
The door in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion moved slightly, and the two disciples of the Sword Lu walked in with Wang Shisanlang, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the scene in front of them. Especially Wang Shisanlang, he still has the remaining poison cleared, and last night he forcibly raised the realm, insisted on Liu to stop everyone, and helped Fan Xian enter the Sword Mansion, the whole person was exhausted to the extreme, if it wasn't for the second senior brother to help him, he was afraid that it would be too late to rush to the City Lord's Mansion at this time.
Last night, the spring inside the sword house was harmonious, and the outside of the sword house was tense, everyone knew that this thirteen disciples of the sword house were Fan Xian's friends, but Fan Xian hijacked the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty and broke into the sacred and inviolable sword house, so everyone's hostility went to Wang Shisanlang.
If it weren't for the second apprentice of Jianlu who indifferently protected him, Yun Zhilan would not have been able to let Wolf Tao and the others do it for the dignity of the teacher, but I am afraid that today's Wang Shisanlang can only lie on the bed.
Of course, the reason why Wang Shisanlang was able to maintain his safety under the siege of so many masters was that leaf, that branch, the Lord of the Sword Saint in the Luzhong Land had already expressed his attitude, and the disciples in the Sword Lu who had already fallen to the side of Yun Zhilan could only maintain neutrality.
......
......
Wang Shisanlang knelt beside Si Gu Jian, his lips trembled slightly, he couldn't say anything, since he entered the City Lord's Mansion, he didn't look at Fan Xian, because his mood was very complicated. All these things were explained by the master, so he helped Fan Xian enter the house, thinking that the master would have a very harmonious conversation with Lord Xiao Fan, but he didn't expect that the master would be injured like this!
The disciples of the Sword Mansion all knew the strength of the City Lord's Mansion and the horror of the sword in the hands of Master Shizun, so it was natural to think that it was definitely not the people in the City Lord's Mansion who injured the Master, but the people from Nanqing.
It's Fan Xian's person.
Yun Zhilan was the first to stand up, looking coldly at Fan Xian and the man in black beside the stone steps, gradually, his pupils became cold, his gaze crossed Fan Xian, looking at the man in black, his eyes turned from cold to hot.
He knew the man in black. even
It's familiar. Because four years ago, on the shore of Hangzhou Lake in the south of the Nanqing River, this one rose up and stabbed himself on the side of the boat. Then the two pursued and were hunted down and killed in the Jiangnan area for several months.
Yun Zhilan knew the strength of this man in black, and even he always thought that he had always thought. Except for Master Shizun, the swordsmanship of this man in black in the whole world is the most powerful, the most ruthless, and even more powerful than himself.
Yun Zhilan was already a nine-rank earthly powerhouse, so he knew how powerful the man in black was. He doesn't need to think about it, he knows. The scene at this time. The only person who can hurt Master Shi with his sword is the man in black.
He slowly drew the sword at his waist. Step by step, I walked towards the stone steps over there. The distance between each step is so fixed, no more, no less. It's exactly two feet.
The sword in his hand is three feet.
The distance between him and the shadow was thirty feet.
"Legend has it that the true master of the six places of the Inspectorate, Lord Shadow. Yun Zhilan walked along. said indifferently: "This is the first time I have seen your true face. ”
Yun Zhilan took five steps over there, getting closer and closer to the stone steps over there, and the sword intent on his body became stronger and stronger, and the killing intent became more and more sufficient. Regardless of the future of this sword house disciple for Dongyi City. How different is it from his own master, but when the foreign enemy attacks. When the people of Nanqing dared to hurt their master, Yun Zhilan's chest was full of killing intent. You must slash the opponent under your own sword.
If the other party is in good condition at this time, Yun Zhilan does not have much confidence. But he knew, even the man in black. may have taken advantage of the fact that the master did not pay attention to it, and secretly killed him. stabbed the master with two swords. But the other party must have paid a great price for this.
Disciple of Jianlu. Deeply influenced by the heart of the sword, he didn't care about bullying the weak.
Under the big green tree. The little emperor of Northern Qi looked at this scene with a pale face. I don't know if there will be a conflict between Jianlu and Nanqing next, and I don't know how Fan Xian will deal with these things. In her opinion, even if Si Gu Jian wanted to reach an agreement with Nanqing, she was afraid that with this great grandmaster's blood-devouring character, it would be impossible to allow the black-clothed man who was called the shadow of the six places of the Supervision Yuan by Yun Zhilan to leave alive.
Suddenly, the little emperor seemed to remember something, and thought of the two words mentioned in the previous sentence of Si Gu Jian. His eyes lit up, and there was a hint of redness on his pale cheeks.
......
......
Fan Xian was half-kneeling beside the shadow, treating the wounds on his body for him, the countless blood cuts cut out by the sword qi were still oozing blood outside, fortunately, the official uniform of the Supervision Institute really had some effect, those blood wounds were not deep, and they did not need special treatment, with the strong body of the shadow, it should be able to stop the bleeding.
The biggest problem is in the shadow land's body, Fan Xiandi put his palm on his back, slowly entered the natural true qi of the heavens and the earth, carefully probed the situation inside, his face became more and more solemn, and after a while, he took out a pill of wound medicine from his arms, fed it into the shadow's lips, and then pressed his palms together and began to heal him.
The night before he healed Thirteen Lang's injuries, yesterday he fought with the wolf peach and others, and last night he fought with the little emperor in bed, Fan Xian was also extremely tired, but he knew that if he didn't hurry up at this time, he was afraid that the shadow would die due to internal bleeding.
After the incident in the Hanging Temple, the shadow followed Fan Xian for four years, and never left, although it was a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the term friend was not too implicated, but Fan Xian knew that he could not leave this person anymore, which was a kind of intimate feeling that would naturally arise after a long time of life support.
Fan Xian lowered his eyes, but he could also hear Yun Zhilan's steady footsteps getting closer and closer, and after a while, he slowly lowered his hands, stood up, looked at Yun Zhilan and said, "Do you still want to kill me?"
Yun Zhilan was silent for a moment and then said: "Your life or death is decided by the master, but this person must die. ”
Fan Xian didn't think anything, slowly took off the robe on his body, revealing a pure black suit inside, and then bent down and pulled out his black dagger from between his boots.
He stood in front of the shadow.
......
......
Fan Xian stood up, the atmosphere in the entire courtyard changed, from beginning to end today, he didn't really make a move, the only thing that was lost was the spirit, the countless spirits that were consumed by the strong will of the Sigu Sword, but at this time, standing in front of the shadow, Fan Xian's spirit seemed to have returned to his body in an instant, indifferent and speechless. Exceptionally powerful.
It's like facing Yan Xiaoyi back then.
Everyone knows how powerful Fan Xian is, and now the ministers of Nanqing are no longer the envoys to Northern Qi back then. A young character who has just entered the nine grades, but a real strong man in the nine grades. He killed Yan Xiaoyi silently. Kyoto killed Old Man Qin, retreated from Begonia on the grassland, and escaped from the siege of several Jiupin masters twice yesterday - in the past confrontation with Jiupin powerhouses, Fan Xian won a complete victory without exception.
This is not the name of the land, the shadow of the tree. It's a real accumulation of confidence, even if he is facing the Lan of the Sword Mansion's first disciple at this moment. Fan Xian still had no fear in his heart. but just looked at each other indifferently, and the meaning was very clear. I want to kill my subordinates. You're going to have to let me kill first.
Fan Xian and Yun Zhilan stood face to face, but behind Yun Zhilan. More people stood up, and there were a total of thirteen disciples in the Sword Mansion. All of them were present today, and there were only six people standing up, but it was the fierce sword intent that these six people exuded. Merge with the cloud where the blade is located. Suddenly went out, hitting the ground, Fan Xian's face turned slightly pale.
There were also several Sword Lu disciples kneeling beside the sword. Hurriedly and tremblingly serving. Among them are the three and four disciples who once ambushed Fan Xiandi Sword House in the Meipu Courtyard, and the reasons why these two Sword House masters did not stand up are very complicated. Because they knew Fan Xian and the man in black...... will look around the sword.
They didn't tell Yun Zhilan about this matter, because the stake was too big. They were preparing to report to Master Venerable, but they didn't expect that too many things had happened in the past two days.
Their hearts were shocked, and they kept guessing about the man in black at the foot of the stone steps. What is the relationship with the master, and why can the other party hurt the master?
Wang Shisanlang didn't stand up either, he didn't go to see Fan Xian, his heart was a little confused, he didn't understand what was going on, he just vaguely guessed a hint of secret, but he couldn't speak.
......
......
Yun Zhilan didn't know all this, the cold-blooded assassination between Jiangnan and the shadow back then was often just a fleeting thing, and the shadow still had a hand at that time, and he didn't show his mastery of pressing the bottom of the box.
He just looked at Fan Xian, and then clenched the sword in his hand.
Under the big green tree over there, Lord Wolf Peach, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly tightened his tail finger, and the metal chain tied to his wrist suddenly tightened.
At this moment, a slightly cool hand was placed on the wrist of the wolf Taodi, preventing him from making a move.
Wolf Tao frowned slightly, looking at His Majesty who stopped him, he didn't understand what he meant, thinking that this was a rare opportunity for Daqi, originally Nanqing and Sigu Sword were about to reach an agreement, but at this time, it was Nanqing who stabbed Sigu Sword, if he helped Yun Zhilan to take down or kill Fan Xian at this time, and then kill the black-clothed man who stabbed Sigu Sword, Dongyi City and Nanqing would definitely break completely.
And as a martial artist, Wolf Tao was really curious, who was that man in black, could he really be the rumored number one assassin in the world, the shadow of the Supervision Yuan? Could it be that this assassin was really so powerful that he could actually hurt Sigu Sword?
The little emperor smiled slightly, looked at the scene of the sword pulling and crossbowing next to the stone steps, and said softly: "Believe me, they can't fight, in that case, why should we be this bad guy?"
......
......
The atmosphere in the arena did not allow the parties to have this kind of judgment of the little emperor, and the sword intent of the seven nine-rank masters was superimposed, and Fan Xian also began to feel the difficulty of breathing, and the cold sweat that had just dried up began to flow down his back again.
At this moment, he couldn't help but be a little awe-inspiring, this place in Jianlu is indeed too weird, so many Jiupin masters, if Nanqing can't reach an agreement with Dongyi City, he really sends troops to attack, but I'm afraid that those marshals who lead the army will always face the attack in the dark night.
The sword intent permeated for a moment, Fan Xian knew that if he really moved, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get out alive, suddenly the corners of his lips curled slightly, he raised his head with a smile, swept his gaze over Yun Zhilan's shoulders like iron, looked at the sword under the stone steps, and said, "Do you really want outsiders to interfere in your own affairs?"
This phrase falls on the ears of different people and has completely different meanings. Yun Zhilan thought that Fan Xian was talking about the Northern Qi people, and said indifferently: "The disciples of Jianlu are enough, and they don't need the help of friends in the north." ”
Wolf Tao smiled slightly under the big green tree and said, "If Lord Xiao Fan can survive, I will personally challenge you." ”
And Fan Xianli ignored the replies of these two masters, and just stared at the sword under the stone steps. Because only by looking around the sword can he understand the true meaning of his words. This is a war between two brothers, does it really need outsiders to intervene? When the shadow used the wind and thunder sword before, Fan Xian was behind the wheelchair, but he only left with the little emperor, and did not fight with the shadow.
Fan Xian didn't intervene, could it be that the disciples of your sword house could meddle in the grievances of your two brothers? Fan Xian gambled with the pride and wildness of the sword. The bet is that Sigu Jian left a shadow before his life, and there must be a follow-up article to do.
Since this is the case, how could Sigu Jian watch his apprentices in order to take revenge. And misguided his plan.
......
......
Si Gu Jian raised his eyes slightly, smiled, and sighed with some regret, as if he was guessing his mind for Fan Xian. So it's a pity that I can't see Fan Xian's true level.
The Grand Master glanced at the disciples kneeling beside him in disgust. Sha Sheng scolded: "Lao Tzu is not dead, why are you in a hurry to mourn?" It is strange to say, he scolded like this, and the disciples next to him became happy. Hurry up and stand up.
Si Gu Jian then raised the arm of his left hand. glanced at Wang Shisanlang. Wang Shisanlang is very familiar with this action, and when he went down to Dadongshan, he carried it like this. After returning to Dongyi City, he still turned his back like this. So naturally he crouched down.
The sword leaned against the young man's broad and solid back. He turned his head very comfortably and said, "Go back." ”
Wang Shisanlang replied in a muffled voice, and then stood up with the thin master on his back. Walk outside the Sword House. It's just that his body is already terrible. Several senior brothers next to him hurriedly helped him and left together.
Sigu Jian walked away like this. Nothing was left. Leaving only a place of astonishment with eyes. Fan Xian looked at the cloud Zhilan who was close at hand, and said, "Yun everyone." You've already disobeyed the Sword Master a few times, do you want to do it again? ”
Yun Zhilan was silent for a long time. glanced at the shadow under the stone steps, and said, "Actually, I also want to carry the master, but I have too many things to carry." ”
"There are some things that you don't need to memorize. Fan Xian was unmoved, and said with a smile: "Because you can't carry it, if you don't say it, you will crush it, and you will smash the things you want to carry on your back, isn't it all great sorrow?"
Yun Zhilan pondered for a long time, and then took a serious look at the blood and water in the city lord's mansion and the corpses, especially the corpse of the city lord on the side of the stone steps, his face calmed down after a while, knowing that his thoughts had all fallen into the void after all, and he didn't know what kind of magic this Nanqing Xiaofan Lord had used, not only let Lord Shizun take action and kill the city lord's mansion, but even after being injured, he didn't have the slightest intention to kill these Nanqing people.
In fact, after all, it was this Sword Sect Leader who didn't understand the Sigu Sword, no one in this world could persuade or induce Sigu Sword to do anything, this great grandmaster could do whatever he wanted, all of this was just his own thoughts.
......
......
Jianlu withdrew from the City Lord's Mansion, and only the Northern Qi people and Fan Xian were left in the field. Wolf Peach put his hands behind his back and came from under the green tree
Come, look at Fan Xian and smile and say: "Lord Xiao Fan is really good, he can force Jian Lu to not make a move, but I am not from Dongyi, I have a rare opportunity today, do you want to learn a thing or two?"
"One cannot be shameless to this extent. At this time, Fan Xian was initially out of the danger of sword intent, and the whole person was tired and relaxed, sitting on the stone steps beside the shadow, without raising his head, and said with a smile: "This is a sentence that your emperor gave me today, and I will give it to you." ”
"Little Fan, I don't know who is more shameless in the world. The scimitar gold chain behind Wolf Tao made a slight sound in the wind, and with his steady voice, it was even more beautiful, "Sister Ling is my Tianyi disciple, and she was ordered by the ancestor to take charge of Qingshan affairs, although Senior Sister Fan is now in Nanqing, but after all, the master is still in the Taoist system, Jun is not to miss the old feelings, but also to read the righteousness of the master, in the late autumn of last year, my Qingshan disciple was killed and injured on Xiliang Road, do you think I will be like this?"
"It turns out that you also know that you died on Xiliang Road. Fan Xian raised his head, two cold lights shot over, and said coldly: "Hugh said that there is something wrong with the death of the bitter lotus national teacher, even if my sister takes over from Haitang in the future, if you Tianyi still dare to do three or four things in my Nanqing, I ...... Will still continue to kill. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a disturbance under the green tree, and the wolf Taodi's eyebrows were also wrinkled, I don't know why Fan Xian dared to be so tough in the current urgent situation, although the disciples of Jianlu left. But the Northern Qi master is still there, even if the Sigu Sword is in the way of something, he doesn't want to kill Fan Xian or the black-clothed master, but the Northern Qi people make a move. But there will be no psychological barriers.
How did this Tianyi first disciple know what happened last night, and where could he have thought that today's Fan Xian looked at these masters of the Northern Qi Land. It's like looking at your own subordinates. Your Majesty the Emperor is already my people, and you are far from becoming my people...... Is it still far away?
The little emperor under the green tree smiled and said, "I pass on the poetry and books of Northern Qi. Of course, it will not be overwhelming. Lord Wolf Peach. Let's go. ”
As soon as this statement came out. Instead, Fan Xian's brows furrowed, and he looked at the little emperor. Suddenly, he said, "Can you come over for a moment?"
To speak in such a tone to His Majesty the Emperor. It's really rude to the extreme. However, to the stunned people of Northern Qi, His Majesty was not angry. He just smiled and said, "What's the matter with Fan Qing's family, let's talk about it after you have rested." ”
Fan Xian saw clearly the indifference and the slight anger between the little emperor's eyebrows. Knowing that the other party is His Majesty the Emperor after all. before the courtiers of the land. I'm afraid that something will go wrong. My previous sentence was really a bit excessive. I couldn't help but laugh at myself and said, "Your Majesty." The foreign minister has something important to report. ”
The little emperor was silent for a long time. I don't know what kind of struggle I'm doing in my heart. Today, she saw too many mysterious things that had nothing to do with power. His mind was greatly shaken. At this time, looking at Fan Xiandi's expression, he thought of the greater shock in his heart last night.
After a long time, the little emperor said indifferently: "You all go out, I have something to say to Fan Qing's family." ”
As soon as this statement came out. There was another uproar in the audience. Especially Wolf Tao looked back at his Emperor Majesty in amazement, not knowing what the current situation was. A few days ago, His Majesty made up his mind to join forces with the Jianlu Yunzhilan faction. To kill Fan Xian in Dongyi City. Yesterday everyone saw it. Fan Xian took His Majesty captive into the Sword Mansion, and the hatred between the two sides should be incompatible. But at this time, look at the two of them talking. It's not at all what everyone thinks.
He Daoren, who had been standing beside the little emperor, was also shocked. Fox glanced at Wolf Tao suspiciously, waiting for him to speak.
Wolf Tao took two deep breaths and waved his hand. led everyone out of the City Lord's Mansion. Whether he is worried or not, Fan Xian will be unfavorable to His Majesty. But since His Majesty Chrysostom has decreed. I make these courtiers myself. It can only be done according to the purpose.
The City Lord's Mansion returned to calm again. Fan Xian stood up and walked to the little emperor's side. looked at her quietly, and suddenly said: "Don't say the last thing you heard today, otherwise...... I'll also tell what I know. ”
The little emperor's face changed slightly, and the cold light in her eyes flashed, she didn't expect Fan Xian to guess her thoughts so quickly, and she didn't expect Fan Xian to use her own secret to threaten herself so directly.
The six directors of the Supervision Yuan are the younger brother of Sigu Jian, and this matter can be used to play too much, and it can even shake the foundation of the Qingguo Imperial Court, so that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the Qingguo Emperor and the Supervision Yuan - Jinyi Wei in the Northern Qi Dynasty is not a dry meal, a long time ago, the little emperor knew from Wei Hua's mouth that the assassination in the hanging temple back then, Emperor Qing has always believed that it was the younger brother of Sigu Jian, who was not heard of in the world.
The little emperor took a deep breath, this secret is too important for Northern Qi, and if it can make Qing civil unrest, there is no doubt that Northern Qi can turn over, but it is just ...... Fan Xiandi held a secret in his hand that was enough to subvert the entire Northern Qi Dynasty.
Her face changed for a long time before she finally whispered, "I know." ”
......
......
Outside the city lord's mansion, the color of the ground of the wolf peach people was also changing, they couldn't imagine that they were anxious all night outside the sword house, always worried about the safety of His Majesty, and finally His Majesty and Fan Xian seemed to have a good conversation.
Wolf Tao's pupils suddenly shrank, and said, "Send the order back to Nanqing and let Mu Peng rush back." ”
He Daoren's face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "My lord suspects that Fan Xian planted poison for His Majesty?"
"Fan Xian is a poison master in the world, if it wasn't for the poison, how could he easily let His Majesty leave, why did His Majesty agree to stay and talk to him in secret just now. The pupils of the wolf Taodi were full of anger, and he said coldly word by word: "Fan Xian, this person, is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, and he should not be taken lightly." ”
Wolf Taodi's resourceful reaction was not unpleasant, but he didn't know that Mu Peng had already let Fan Xian be imprisoned in the seventh place of the Supervision Courtyard, and he didn't know that Fan Xian had indeed planted poison for the little emperor, but it was not the kind of poison that would kill people, but the poison in his heart, and there was no solution.
