Chapter 228: Your Life, I Want It Too!
The Witch King slowly opened his eyes and said angrily: "Qi Guo - Ning Shu? β
Ning Shu collected all the emotions in her heart, held back her tears, and said with a slightly imperceptible whimper, "Yes." β
"But I can clearly feel the Vientiane Gu in your body-" The Witch King reluctantly sat up straight, leaving Ning Shu's embrace, looking at this face he had never seen before with a blank expression.
What she actually wanted to say was that she clearly felt the breath of Wu Yue on Ning Shu's body.
Ning Shu got up, stood on the edge of the bed, and bowed deeply to the Witch King.
"In Ningshu, Xia Qi Kingdom, I have seen the Witch King of Miaojiang."
"Why are you here?" The Witch King, who was weak like a man on the verge of death, looked around, found himself in the room of the Holy Maiden Pavilion Wu Yue, and asked even more suspiciously, "Can you find the Holy Witch Yue?" β
Ning Shu took a deep breath and said softly: "Back to the Witch King, the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang has died at the Spring Sacrifice Ceremony, and there is no Holy Maiden in Miao Jiang right now. β
"How so?" The Witch King was overly excited, and his chest was slightly heaving.
She coughed a few times before she saw the pool of green blood on the edge of the bed.
"Yue'er isn't here, I'm hereβ"
"The Witch King." Ning Shu was afraid that she would not be able to help crying if she continued to speak, so she interrupted the Witch King's questioning, "The specific matter is still for the Great Elder to explain to the Witch King." β
Without waiting for the Witch King to answer, under the Witch King's puzzled gaze, Ning Shu walked out of the room with red eyes.
When the Great Elder heard the news that the Witch King had woken up, he rushed into the room excitedly.
As soon as he entered the door and saw the Witch King who had really woken up on the bed, the Great Elder threw away the snake-headed cane in his hand and knelt down towards the Witch King.
She pressed one hand on the reverse shoulder, and said with tears: "The old woman sees the witch king, the old woman is guilty, ask the witch king to punish!" β
In the future, Ning Shu didn't have the heart to continue listening, so let the Great Elder, the culprit, personally tell the master the truth.
β¦β¦
Quiet night, all silent.
Only the sound of layers of waves crashing on the hull of the ship kept coming, which was particularly terrifying.
Everyone on the deck stared at the waters ahead with serious expressions, both expectant and afraid.
The fact that the Triad Gang has been able to dominate this body of water for so many years is enough to see how strong its strength is.
In front of him is His Majesty's newly crowned prince, and the number of sailors brought with him is also unprecedented.
Perhaps, this time it may be possible to annihilate the Triad Gang in one fell swoop.
Xie Yunyan turned into a sailor with no sense of existence, standing respectfully behind King Kang, his breath restricted.
I don't know how long it floated on the water, but the rickety ship finally had a little stability in the middle of the night, and in the gray fog ahead, several huge black shadows also quietly appeared.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the dark shadow in front of them.
For a time, the atmosphere on the ship was tense.
"But His Royal Highness King Kang?"
The black shadow was still blurred, but the sound pierced through the gray mist and smashed into the ears of all the sailors on the ship.
King Kang's expression was excited, and he shouted forward: "But the leader of the Sanhe Gang Yelu? β
"Hahaha!"
A hearty laugh floated above the waters, only to hear the man laugh and say: "His Royal Highness King Kang has spread rumors everywhere, saying that he wants to defeat my triad gang, how dare you save His Royal Highness King Kang's face?" β
Yeluqi sat lazily on the chair at the bow of the boat, with one foot still on the chair, one hand on the knee of that foot, holding a bamboo stick in his hand, and picking his teeth carelessly.
The one-eyed man behind him clenched the spear in his hand, but his face was not as pleasant as that of Yeluqi, and he looked solemnly at the darkness opposite.
King Kang raised his hand and signaled the sailors behind him to prepare for battle.
"Now that the helper has arrived, shall we begin?"
Yeluqi smiled even more presumptuously, "I said, His Royal Highness King Kang, isn't it possible that you people in Kyoto are so particular about etiquette?" Or is it that because you are the prince, the battle still needs to go through the motions? β
Xie Yunyan was keenly aware of the slightest commotion at the stern of the boat.
He yelled bad and said urgently: "No, they have already done it." β
King Kang's expression froze, and he looked back nervously.
Immediately after, there was a clanging of swords and the roar of people in the cabin behind him.
"You're cheating?"
King Kang shouted angrily and immediately retreated.
Half of the many sailors rushed to the cabin to support, and the other half tightly protected King Kang behind him.
Yeluqi let out a "puff", and finally spit out the piece of meat he had eaten at dinner.
threw the bamboo stick in his hand into the water, and said with a wicked smile: "You scholars have a good saying, 'soldiers are not tired of cheating'. β
"Villain!" King Kang gritted his teeth and said.
The hall master of the Green Sword Hall had already squeezed out of the crowd and stood in front of King Kang.
King Kang frowned slightly, and patted him lightly on the back of the heart, signaling him not to act rashly.
Xie Yunyan stood at the front of the crowd, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be a person with strong martial arts behind him.
He jerked his head back, and the aura vanished in an instant.
King Kang didn't dare to look at Xie Yunyan, so he immediately turned to Yeluqi and shouted: "Yelu Gang Master, although this king came to Yuzhou under the banner of exterminating the Sanhe Gang, the real purpose of this king is to kill Lian Rong. β
"I believe that the Yelu gang leader can understand the pros and cons, and ask the Yelu gang leader to hand over Lian Rong, and this king promises not to hurt the Sanhe gang in the slightest!"
In the darkness, Jeruzi's eyes flashed.
He tilted his head lazily and said with a smile: "Lord Lian, it seems that I am here for you." β
Lian Rong was already sweating.
There seemed to be two villains in his heart, constantly controlling his decisions.
Do you leave the Sanhe Gang and go to King Kang, or stay in the Sanhe Rich and Dangerous Adventure?
Both roads seemed to be dead ends, Lian Rong's face trembled, and he squeezed out an ugly smile, "If the Yelu gang leader can send the old man ashore and avoid King Kang's pursuit, the old man will definitely honor the gang leader with fifty percent of his savings." β
"Fifty percent?" Yeluqi smiled contemptuously, "Could it be that if you have ten taels of silver, divide me fifty percent, and I will fight hard for five taels of silver?" β
The one-eyed man snorted coldly, "Just say how much it costs, Lao Tzu can't get used to your crooked Kyoto people." β
Lian Rong hurriedly said: "Oh, look at me, the old man has sent 170,000 taels of silver out of the house, if the Yelu gang leader can help me through this difficulty, the old man is willing to give 90,000 taels!" β
"Ninety thousand taelsβ" To be honest, Yeluqi lived on a ship all year round, and had no specific concept of gold and silver at all.
He glanced at the one-eyed man and asked, "Ah Jue, what do you think?" β
The one-eyed man Ah Jue pondered for a moment, seeing beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from Lian Rong's forehead, and nodded slightly.
"Boss, 90,000 taels is enough for the brothers to eat for several years."
Yeluqi gritted his teeth and clapped his hands, "Okay, deal." β
After that, he stood up and came to the front of the bow of the ship, and shouted to King Kang: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness King Kang, people, I want it, I want your life!" β
