Chapter 70: Lend You a Skin
In Zhenhai City, in a splendid restaurant, in an Accord, there is a table of sumptuous wine and food.
Sitting around the table were Ye Qingcheng, Huo Jing, and the little fat man Bao Jun.
At this time, Bao Jun had already eaten with Lihuo. Huo Jing and Ye Qingcheng just filled the glass with wine.
"Since Elder Fu has already taken the charge off, why do you have to deduct your brother's two gold medals?" Huo Jing said angrily: "It's too unfair to do this. β
"This is a great blessing to me. Ye Qingcheng smiled helplessly: "If I can continue to participate in the beast worship war, I will no longer ask for anything." β
"Elder Fu is really an admirable and good person. Bao Jun's mouth was stuffed with food, and he said in a buzzing voice.
Thinking that Fu Shan was still suffering from the dark and damp torture in prison, Ye Qingcheng felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
Seeing Ye Qingcheng's stunned expression, Huo Jing comforted: "Don't think about it, Elder Fu is a great character, he won't suffer much punishment, and after a few days, the Zhenxi Imperial Beast Hall will pick him up, and he will be free." β
Ye Qingcheng nodded silently.
"By the way, there is good news for Brother SΓΉ. Huo Jing held the wine glass and said, "Yu Feng resigned as an elder and returned to the north of the town with Yu Huo's corpse. β
Ye Qingcheng picked up the wine glass, was happy in his heart, and said, "Why did he do this?"
"Who knows. Huo Jing shook his head and said, "However, from now on, my brother can concentrate on the assessment, and he doesn't have to worry about his life anymore." β
............
The sun was setting in the west, and a dark and solemn carriage, carrying a golden coffin, rushed out from the east gate of Zhenhai City, heading straight for the west bank of the Troubled Stone Sea.
Behind the carriage was a luxurious carriage made of brocade. In the car, Yu Feng sat silently at a white table, his face gloomy and silent.
Sitting in the car was his younger brother Yu Shui.
"Brother Huang, why did you kill that kid?" Yu Shui was silent all the way, and finally couldn't help but ask at this time.
"Yu Huo was killed, isn't that a reason?" Yu Feng said coldly.
"But before you can kill him. Yu Shui said.
Yu Feng didn't answer him, but changed the question and said, "This time, I resign as an elder, and in the assessment of the Hundred Stone King Capital, there will be no one to take care of you anymore, can you be sure to go to the last step and participate in the last wilderness trial?"
"Yes!" Yu Shui said firmly.
Yu Shui had already guessed Yu Feng's reason for resigning as an elder: in Zhenhai City, Ye Qingcheng would not go out of the city alone except to participate in the assessment, and Yu Feng would not find a chance at all. After arriving at the Hundred Stone King Capital, it was even more impossible for Yu Feng to find an opportunity to kill Ye Qingcheng alone. However, he knew that Yu Feng would never give up.
"To be on the safe side. Yu Feng said: "I will let Xiao Jing accompany you to participate in the next assessment, and then you will obey his command." β
"What do you mean?" Yu Shui asked suspiciously, "Doesn't Senior Brother Xiao have a beast taming crest?"
............
On the rocky seaside, in a remote, quiet corner, the old animal tamer Shen, dressed in a gray cloth robe, sat on a reef, bathed in the sun, and fished comfortably.
At this time, Xiao Jing, who was wearing a white brocade robe, sat down next to Ram Shen with a habitual smile, and said, "Congratulations to my brother for the first three assessments. β
Senior Xiao smiled. Ram Shen hurriedly put down the fishing rod and said embarrassedly: "The old man has participated in the beast worship war so many times, and he has never been able to tame the beast crest, so he has passed the first three assessments, so don't mention it." β
"I can help you. Xiao Jing said.
"Oh?" Ram Shen raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Seniors know the next assessment?"
"I don't know. Xiao Jing said: "However, as long as you lend me one thing, the name Ram Shen, you can kill all the way to the last assessment, and even get the final beast taming crest." β
"What?" asked the ram Shen immediately.
"An old skin of yours. Xiao Jing always had that habitual smile on the corner of his mouth.
The joy on Ram Shen's face disappeared in an instant, he stood up in horror, stared at Xiao Jing, swallowed his saliva, and asked in disbelief with his lips: "The old man hasn't offended his seniors, has he? Why do the seniors want my old life?"
"You're so old. Xiao Jing also stood up, the orange coat of arms (second order) on his chest flashed a bewitching light in the sun, and his smile became hideous in an instant, and said, "Being alive is just a laughing stock, what does it mean?"
............
Half an hour later, on the rocky beach.
A huge Zhenbei imperial ship, docked in front of the port. Yu Feng watched in silence, and several royal guards carried the coffin with Yu Huo to the ship.
"Brother Huang, who are we waiting for?" Yu Shui asked puzzled.
"Xiao Jing. Yu Feng was not in a hurry to leave.
However, they waited for half a burnt incense time, but they didn't see Xiao Jing, but waited for an old figure.
I saw that the ram Shen, who was wearing a gray cloth robe, rode an old mule, and came to the Yu brothers, he jumped off the back of the mule, calmly bowed his hand to Yu Feng, and said in an old voice: "Apprentice ram Lao'er, I have seen Master Yu. β
"Why are you here?" Yu Shui glanced at Ram Shen in surprise, then turned his face to look at Yu Feng, and said, "Brother Huang, he-"
However, before he finished his words, he saw a habitual, dΓ©jΓ vu smile on the corner of Ram Shen's mouth out of the corner of his eye. A cold wind immediately permeated his heart, and he stared at Ram Shen in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
"Little brother, tomorrow we will take a fire boat to the Hundred Stone King Capital, let's go back and prepare as soon as possible. Ram Shen looked at Yu Shui and said with a smile.
............
In the evening, Ye Qingcheng and Huo Jing returned to the guest room where he had been staying.
Upon entering the guest room, he found a black box resembling a sword case on the table. Curious, he walked over and opened the box, revealing that it contained three bronze spears that had been burned blue-black, two of which were more than two feet long, and the third had a sharp bronze head.
"This?" Ye Qingcheng took the bronze handle with the head of the gun, and found that there were two small bumps under the head of the gun, as well as a tiny gap. He pressed one of the pimples lightly, and the tip of the gun immediately shrank into a copper cone, and then retracted into the barrel of the gun, and then he pressed another pimple, and a sharp sickle head immediately emerged from the slit.
Obviously, this was Yu Huo's weapon at the beginning, and it was also the murder weapon of the blood curse poison puppet, and it was also the death scythe he used to kill Yu Huo.
"I didn't expect it to be so subtle. Ye Qingcheng said. Then, puzzled, he asked, "How did it end up here?"
"This is what Elder Iwa found in the waters on the edge of the Hunting Island. Huo Jing said: "He thought it was a good thing, so he gave it to Elder Fu, who had the deepest friendship with him, and Elder Fu said that it was your trophy, so he sent me over." This is a priceless treasure, so please ask the old man who taught you the art of taming beasts in your dreams to see if it can be used. β
"Hmm. Ye Qingcheng nodded and smiled.
"Alright. Huo Jing said: "I won't bother my brother." I remember to get up early tomorrow, and the deputy head of the Hundred Stone Imperial Beast Hall will use the empty fireboat to take us apprentices to the Hundred Stone Royal Capital. β
