Chapter 48: Removing the False and the True (2)
"What you said is true?" Xue Yuhu still had a hesitant expression.
"That's all said and done, what else do you have to worry about, don't you believe in my strength?" The masked man said lightly.
"Oh no, I'm still a little worried, it's not that simple this time." Xue Yuhu hesitated.
"Haha, Brother Xue, you are too careful, it's good to be careful, that Wan girl also said just now, I heard about her, and I know that what she said is true, besides, one bell is immeasurable, it is more than enough to deal with him, you just need to watch from the sidelines, wait for someone to catch him, and then you personally kill him, so that there is no mistake for you." The masked man refused to answer.
When Xue Yuhu heard him say this, he felt a lot more relieved, and said happily at the moment: "Okay, I'll go there myself." ”
The masked man said: "I'll go get ready, and then I'll inform you." Seeing the masked man coming in, Mei Weng asked, "Does Zhao Tou have a task for us to do?" ”
"Boss Mei is really a smart person, I haven't said it yet, you know, I really can't hide anything from you." The masked man chuckled.
Mei Weng smiled: "The things on the rivers and lakes, how much my Boss Mei also inquired a little, and now this matter is not a secret." ”
The masked man said: "Boss Mei, I came to let you take the Heaven and Earth Heroes to arrest Shen Jiannan for me, this time let Xue Yuhu go with you, I can't come forward for the time being, once something happens, let Xue Yuhu hold it, this kid I have never been at ease, he has always wanted to kill Shen Jiannan, but now Shen Jiannan can't die, it's still useful to keep him, when Shen Jiannan is arrested, he will be brought back and secretly detained, I have something important to do in the past two days, and I will make a decision when I come back." ”
Mei Weng smiled: "This matter is easy to say, with my three elders in the Western Regions, there is nothing that cannot be done, but Zhao Tou should not forget what he promised me." ”
The masked man said solemnly: "Boss Mei, please rest assured, when the matter is completed, I will definitely ask the master for instructions, and you will be the leader of the martial arts alliance, you can rest assured." ”
Xiong Ditian intercepted: "What about the promise of our brother?" ”
The masked man said: "Don't worry, Brother Xiong, I will never break my promise to you." ”
Shen Jiannan was tied up by Zhong Wuliang all the way, has been walking aimlessly, no one knows where Zhong Wuliang is going next, currently coming to the Penglai area, everyone walked for half a day, most of them were tired, so they found a roadside thatched liao to rest, Zhong Wuliang said: "Everyone is in good spirits, I decided to take Shen Jiannan to the capital, directly to the emperor Lao'er, he didn't give me ten thousand taels of gold, but also gave me a book, if he didn't give me anything, I would kill his prince." ”
Shen Jiannan sneered: "Don't dream, the emperor doesn't recognize me as a prince at all, there are many people pretending to be princes on the rivers and lakes, no one can prove my identity, you go in vain, maybe you will take your own life, that is not worth it." ”
"You don't talk nonsense, I have my own way." Zhong Wuliang said lazily, his eyes looked around, as if he was investigating the surrounding environment, and sighed from time to time, from his expression, he seemed to be a little nervous, somehow.
Everyone rested for a cup of tea, and gradually recovered their leg strength, Zhong Wuliang said: "Everyone get up and get ready to go." As soon as the words fell, a few big men came out of the jungle on the side of the road, Shen Jiannan's heart sank, and he hurriedly looked, and it turned out that he recognized that it was Mei Weng, and those brothers.
Mei Weng walked over steadily, with a cold smile on his face, and said, "You are the head of Beihai Zhong, right?" "Pointing to the bell immeasurable.
Zhong Wuliang stepped forward, hesitated in his heart, and asked, "In the next place, I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”
"Dog, don't you even know who my eldest brother is?" Mi Sansheng grabbed the front and shouted.
Mei Weng raised his hand to stop him, and said kindly: "The old man's surname is Mei, and his single name is Weng." ”
"It turns out that you are the three elders of the Western Regions." Zhong Wuliang exclaimed, then changed color, and said lightly: "I have heard of the name for a long time, but I don't know what is the so-called thing here today?" ”
"My eldest brother wants you to leave Shen Jiannan to us." Ling Boyun said sharply.
"Why should I leave it to you?" Zhong Wuliang asked.
"There's no reason why my eldest brother wants something, you have to keep it if you don't keep it." Mi Sansheng was arrogant and unreasonable, and his words were arrogant.
Zhong Wuliang laughed out loud, and said coldly: "It's really a joke, I worked so hard to find it, how can I give it to you easily, it's a big joke in the world, you guys are wild in the Central Plains, do you really bully us in the Central Plains Martial Arts?" ”
"Presumptuous, speak wildly, let your third master teach you a lesson." Mi Sansheng shouted angrily and rushed up.
Zhong Wuliang took out the long sword in his hand, and dared to go up quickly, the two clashed, and when the subordinates saw the fight, they picked up the guys one after another, and rushed up, Mei Weng and the others immediately joined the battle, leaving only Shen Jiannan sitting on the side, but his heart was not nervous, with a smile, watching the excitement.
Zhong Wuliang's long sword brush brushed and stabbed straight, and for a while, Mi Sansheng was also close to him, and after fighting more than 30 moves, Zhong Wuliang's swordsmanship suddenly slowed down, and he secretly said in his heart: "The timing is just right, if it doesn't end at this time, when will you wait?" ”
Zhong Wuliang made a false move and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, if you can't beat them, let's withdraw." ”
His subordinates scattered their opponents one after another, and ran away with Zhong Wuliang.
"What kind of Beihai faction, I really can't help fighting, if he doesn't run, there will be two or three more rounds, and he will definitely die under my hands." Mi Sansheng said lazily.
"Shen Jiannan, don't come unharmed, we'll meet again." Mei Weng stepped forward and looked at Shen Jiannan and smiled.
Shen Jiannan sighed: "It's really a narrow road, I admit it." ”
At this time, Xue Yuhu came over from the jungle and said, "Shen Jiannan, see who I am?" ”
Shen Jiannan fixed his eyes and said angrily: "Xue Yuhu, it turned out to be you, I was about to look for you, you are simply a scum, if you don't get rid of you, the rivers and lakes will not be at peace." ”
Xue Yuhu smiled: "It's a pity that you don't have this opportunity, I'm here to kill you today, as long as you die, I can be a real prince naturally, and then there will be everything in glory and wealth." ”
Shen Jiannan said angrily: "Don't dream of yourself, there are still people behind you who are manipulating, just trying to control the court and martial arts in your name, and you are just a chess piece." ”
Xue Yuhu said angrily: "I won't talk to you anymore, I'll send you to Xitian now." With that, he took out the dagger from his arms and walked towards Shen Jiannan.
Mei Weng suddenly stopped in front and said, "Brother Xue, our Zhao Tou said that we would take Shen Jiannan back and wait for him to come and fall." ”
"What? Didn't he say that I should kill him with my own hands? Why did you change your mind, what's the use of Shen Jiannan keeping it? As long as he dies, I'll be the prince, isn't that what he's been looking forward to? Caught him this time, could it be that he wanted to kick me away? Xue Yuhu was very different and asked hesitantly.
Mei Weng smiled: "Brother Xue, don't get me wrong, Shen Jiannan will definitely die, it's just that Zhao Tou is still useful for temporarily leaving him alive, you don't have to worry, everything will be discussed after you go back." ”
The dagger in Xue Yuhu's hand was about to move, it was really a great opportunity right now, but someone actually stopped him, he hesitated in his heart, thinking about what kind of willingness it would be, Shen Jiannan didn't die for a day, he couldn't be at peace for a day, he was simply a threat to himself, just forget it today, find an opportunity in the future, and kill him again, anyway, people have already seized it, and there will be many opportunities in the future.
Zhong Wuliang led his men to run all the way, calculating the time, Mei Weng and the others should also go, and then returned, and came to the opposite hillside, the silent old man, the know-it-all and Qu Lingyan were standing on the guard and watching every move below.
Zhong Wuliang said: "Senior, according to your plan, I have successfully let Shen Jiannan be taken away by them, and I have also helped you handle the matter, can you let me go?" ”
The silent old man said: "Well, there is nothing to do with you in the future, you can go." ”
Know-it-all smiled and said: "Master, it's really a clever strategy, originally I thought that as long as Xue Yuhu was brought out, let's kill him, it turns out that Master is putting a long line to catch big fish." ”
The silent old man said: "Xue Yuhu, an unarmed person, how can he set off a big storm, there must be someone behind him to manipulate him again, if he doesn't let this person out, how can the rivers and lakes be peaceful." ”
Qu Lingyan was a little worried in his heart, and asked Chi Qian: "Senior, Brother Jiannan was taken away by them like this, will it be dangerous?" ”
Wanshi Channel: "No, Brother Shen can completely escape from the binding now, they can't kill him, you can rest assured." ”
Qu Lingyan's nervous expression couldn't hide the panic in his heart, no matter what others said, he was still very worried, this heart, worried, could never be stable, and he was restless at this time.
Xue Yuhu returned to the secret passage of the palace, hiding in the house by himself, his mind was solemn, he couldn't sit still at all, now Shen Jiannan is here, he is a natural enemy, and said in his heart: "Why did you promise to let me kill him, but he changed his mind temporarily, what did he want to do, could it be that his plan has changed, could it be that he asked me for this fake impersonation because it was not true, but now that there is a real one, there is no need for me to be fake, hum, I have always been at the mercy of you, let you call and drink, but forbearance becomes gold, As long as I can enjoy the glory and wealth, even if I am a puppet, I will admit it, and I must not let Shen Jiannan obstruct my future. ”
Xue Yuhu thought for a long time, suddenly had an idea, his eyes lit up, and said: "I'm going to kill Shen Jiannan, isn't this a hundred, as long as Shen Jiannan dies, his position is still up to me, if he doesn't die, what's the use of me." ”
Xue Yuhu hid the dagger again, walked out of the room, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and secretly came to the cell where Shen Jiannan was being held, and saw that Shen Jiannan was sitting peacefully in the cell, very quiet, as if nothing had happened, and he was very happy, there was no one around at this time, it was a good opportunity to kill him, but when he saw that there was a lock on the door, he took out the dagger, cut off the lock with force, and pushed the door in.
The sound of a "bell" alarmed Shen Jiannan, and he hurriedly looked at it, Xue Yuhu had a wicked smile on his face, he already had a fixed number in his heart, and said with a faint smile: "Xue Yuhu, are you here to kill me?" ”
Xue Yuhu said coldly: "It's so smart, it's good that you know, what I hate the most in this world is you, why do you have such a noble background, and I'm just a down-and-out person, I just took your place when you died, don't blame me, who made your position coveted by so many people, of course, I'm no exception, blame you for giving birth to the wrong family, let the old man bless you to be born in an ordinary family in the next life." ”
Shen Jiannan knew that his murderous intent had risen, and then secretly lucked his true qi, ready to break the rope and resist him, this true qi stayed between his hands, just waiting for him to make a move.
Xue Yuhu held a dagger in his hand and slowly approached, with infinite hope and longing in his eyes, but in Shen Jiannan's opinion, how pitiful and stupid that state of mind was.
Xue Yuhu raised his hand and said, "Go and die." The dagger stabbed towards Shen Jiannan's heart.
Shen Jiannan was just about to break free from the rope, when he suddenly saw a stone flying outside the door, Shen Jiannan had already felt the breath, and immediately retracted his breath, without any movement, this stone knocked down Xue Yuhu's dagger.
Xue Yuhu was startled, hurriedly turned around, and saw Mei Weng standing at the door, and asked Chi: "Boss Mei, why are you there?" ”
Mei Weng walked in and said coldly, "If I wasn't here, wouldn't Shen Jiannan be killed by you?" ”
"If he doesn't die, it's not good for all of us," Xue Yuhu said angrily.
"It's not good for you, it's because you're afraid that he will affect your good deeds, right?" Meon's words hit the nail on the head.
Xue Yuhu was resentful in his heart, and said: "Hmph, keeping him, there are only disadvantages, no benefits, okay, I'll see what you keep him for, if you don't need me anymore, please say it directly, don't fool me, lest everyone be upset." With that, he threw the dagger on the ground and walked out in a rage.
Mei Weng seemed to be complaining and dissatisfied when he heard Xue Yuhu's words, and hesitated in his heart, Shen Jiannan sneered: "I don't know what Boss Mei is doing when he is locked up here, I don't know when I will invite you Zhao Tou to come out and see him?" I want to see his true face. ”
Meon smiled, "You'll see, be patient." With that, he walked out of the cell and changed a new lock.
As soon as the door was locked, Mi Sansheng walked over and whispered a few words in Mei Weng's ear, and then the two hurriedly walked away together.
Shen Jiannan hesitated, the masked man has not yet appeared, I can't make any movement at this time, so as not to startle the snake, what are these two people doing, look at them as if they have something important.
Xue Yuhu returned to the room again, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he didn't kill Shen Jiannan, what kind of ghost did the masked man do, he was hesitating, but he saw Mei Weng and Mi Sansheng hurriedly walking over, Xue Yuhu suddenly doubted, and said secretly: "What are they doing, is there anything important to discuss, no, I have to go and listen, and plan for my next step early." ”
Xue Yuhu went out of the door, only to see them enter a secret room, the door was locked inside, he quietly slipped to the door, listening to the sound inside, it turned out that the masked man had come back, and he had something to discuss with the three elders of the Western Regions and the two heroes of heaven and earth.
The masked man said: "Hard work Boss Mei and all the brothers, I will set up a banquet another day to entertain everyone, today I came to have an important time to say, I asked the master, the master has promised to let Boss Mei be the leader of the martial arts alliance, but I need to choose a good time to announce it publicly." ”
Mei Weng smiled: "Then take me to thank your master, announce that there is no hurry for the time being, and it will not be too late to finish it when the time is at hand." ”
The masked man smiled: "You can rest assured this time, I have already done what I promised you." ”
Mei Weng said: "Don't worry, don't worry, if there is anything in the future, you just give orders, and our brothers will do their best to do it, but..."
The masked man asked, "But what?" Boss Mei seems to have something to say? ”
Mei Weng frowned, and said hesitantly: "Xue Yuhu, this kid, has been a little restless recently, just now he secretly went to kill Shen Jiannan, and was bumped into by me, and he also said some inexplicable words, I think this kid must be worried that Shen Jiannan will not die, it will affect him, I want to ask, what does Zhao Tou mean?" ”
The masked man said: "I have consulted with the master, and he also means to keep Shen Jiannan, it is really more convincing than fake." ”
Mei Weng sighed: "This is what I'm worried about, I'm just afraid that Shen Jiannan won't die, Xue Yuhu, this kid will turn against him, and fight back, the facts in front of him are obvious, keep Shen Jiannan, this Xue Yuhu will be useless, he himself has taken into account his situation, and this matter has to be properly handled." ”
The masked man's face turned dark, and he said in deep thought: "As soon as you say it, it reminds me that since there is a real one, we still have to fake it, and keeping him is always a time bomb, maybe we will blow ourselves up at any time." ”
Mei Weng said: "So, what we have to do now is to make Xue Yuhu disappear forever." ”
The masked man said: "Okay, let Mi Sansheng handle this matter, but it must be done cleanly." ”
Mi Sansheng said: "Don't worry, I will let this kid shut up honestly." ”
Xue Yuhu listened to it outside the door, and was shocked, and said secretly: "Okay, you despicable villain, if you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge now, I won't let you find me." ”
