Chapter 192: Smell Change
Xia Zhengliang's face was a little strange, or rather angry.
After a while, he said, "They are here to assassinate my master!"
Zhuang Zhou was puzzled: "Assassinate Zhou Bonian?"
Xia Zhengliang nodded and said, "Yes......" He turned his eyes to look at the two people kneeling beside him, and raised his foot to kick over, but he still held back.
Zhuang Zhou's thoughts turned sharply in his mind, and he suddenly understood, and said: "You mean, Ling Yan ......" Xia Zhengliang gritted his teeth and nodded, and tears actually overflowed in the tiger's eyes.
Zhuang Zhou looked at the two people kneeling on the ground again and asked, "You, were you sent by Ling Yan to assassinate Zhou Bonian?"
The two of them lost color on their faces, and their eyes were not filled with fear, but more with doubt and shock! They never expected that their assassination target had changed from Zhou Bonian to Zhuang Zhou, and the strength of Zhuang Zhou's aura shield just now made them lose their ...... Just now, the tremendous power of the aura shield made them still a little unbelievable at this moment, and the bit of violence and courage they had were also eclipsed.
Xia Zhengliang was furious, and shouted loudly: "Isn't Ling Yan injured? To be honest, what happened to Feimeng Mountain? Why did Ling Yan send you to assassinate Master?"
The two men looked at each other in frustration and nodded understandingly. One of them said, "This is the end of the matter, and we have nothing to say...... The master has calculated everything, but he has not calculated that the master is actually dead, and it is actually another person who sleeps in the bamboo house......" The other person said: "This is also considered the will of heaven." ”
After saying these two words, the two of them stopped, quietly waiting for their fate.
Xia Zhengliang was furious. Pulling out the long knife from the hand of the big man next to him, he was about to slash down. Zhuang Zhou hurriedly stopped and motioned to push away. Xia Zhengliang had no choice but to step aside angrily.
Some people may find it strange that Xia Zhengliang has surrendered to Zhuang Zhou, why is he so angry that Ling Yan sent someone to assassinate Zhou Bonian?
It turned out that although Xia Zhengliang had already returned to Zhuang Zhou, in his heart, Zhou Bonian had always been his master! If it weren't for Zhou Bonian's death, if it weren't for Zhuang Zhou's dream hunting righteousness, he would have a strong resonance. If it weren't for the kind of providence he faintly felt from Zhuang Zhou, he would never have been able to submit to Zhuang Zhou. In his heart, he did not betray Zhou Bonian. It's just more obedient to the righteousness of the Dream Hunter Clan!
Xia Zhengliang is a person with clear grievances!
Zhuang Zhou looked at the two of them coldly, and said slowly: "You are also dream hunters, of course you know that we dream hunters want to obtain other people's secrets, it is actually very simple...... Now. If I urge you to dream. Isn't it easy to enter the depths of your dreams to find out some news?Moreover, at that point, of course, I can't just probe the secret, I have two second-class and first-class dream spirit beasts, won't it be enough to destroy your sea of memories?"
The faces of the two people turned pale, of course they knew the threat of Zhuang Zhou's words.
They are only cultivators of the Fantasy Dream Realm, but the martial arts of the present world are quite successful. Agile and skillful. Ling Yan sent the two of them this time because he took a fancy to these characteristics. Ling Yan also knew that it was basically impossible to kill Zhou Bonian by relying on the Dream Hunting Technique, so he would only have the sword to go sideways......
And the cultivation of the two of them was too small in front of Zhuang Zhou, and they knew that every word Zhuang Zhou said was not exaggerated at all.
They originally only wanted to die, but they didn't expect that it was very likely that they could not survive and die, just imagine, becoming a walking corpse, what could be more terrible than this?
After Zhuang Zhou finished speaking, he stopped speaking, and just looked at the two of them coldly.
At this time, a big man walked in from outside the bamboo house, walked up to Xia Zhengliang and said, "Senior brother, dozens of us have searched the surrounding woods, and we have not found any other suspicious people......
Xia Zhengliang nodded, and Zhuang Zhou also nodded with satisfaction. Xia Zhengliang was really a person worthy of great responsibility, and in such a chaotic situation, he quickly arranged people to deploy around to prevent Ling Yan and the second and third groups of assassins from raiding, acting steadily and not chaotically.
Zhuang Zhou was already silent, and no one around him spoke, and suddenly fell into an eerie silence in the bamboo house. I only heard Zhuang Zhou's right index finger gently tapping on the wooden board on the edge of the bed, making a "tuk tuk" sound, with a clear rhythm, as if he was counting down for something to come!
Zhuang Zhou sighed and was about to stand up.
Finally, the two people who were kneeling on the ground were still standing upright and their waists were paralyzed, and the two of them sat on the ground with their butts, breathing rapidly and drenching in cold sweat. Obviously, they couldn't stand the fear and slaughter brought to them by Zhuang Zhou, and their will collapsed in an instant.
One of them said in a trembling voice, "I say...... I said......"
Zhuang Zhou asked, "What's your name?"
Xia Zhengliang said on the side: "His name is Wang Jia!"
Wang Jia said weakly: "What Uncle Shi said is that my name is Wang Jia...... Actually, although Master's injuries were very serious, they had improved greatly in the last month, thanks to the healing medicine given by the Master, it seemed to be called a Rejuvenation Pill......
"Qi Rejuvenation Pill?" Zhuang Zhou exclaimed. He had heard the name from Ma Shanhao, and he still had two and a half such magical pills hidden in his pocket. Knowing that this was something more rare and precious than the Gu Nian Pill that had improved his cultivation, Zhuang Zhou still remembered the longing and fascination that Ma Shanhao had when he talked about it. It seems that Zhou Bonian did spend a lot of money on Ling Yan, and even took out something as precious as the Qi Returning Pill, but sadly, Ling Yan was an ungrateful villain......
Xia Zhengliang was even more surprised and full of anger, and said, "Ling Yan is really a wolf!"
Wang Jia continued: "Master's injuries have improved, but he has been hiding ...... In order to wait for the opportunity...... After the master took the people away, the master immediately took control of Feimeng Mountain. We thought that the master would definitely win a big victory here, because there was already news that Zhuang ...... Village...... Patriarch Zhuang has died. Master also calculated that even if the Master Ancestor eliminated Yunmeng Mountain, he would be damaged, because he was injured a lot last time and had not fully recovered......"
Xia Zhengliang suddenly realized and said: "No wonder Ling Yan tried his best to pry the master some time ago, the master was still unsure of paying attention, but he used rhetoric to turn out that he had planned all this a long time ago! Poor master actually fell for his trick!"
Zhuang Zhou began to be a little impressed with Ling Yan, originally Ling Yan was just an arrogant and ignorant embroidered pillow in his mind, but he didn't expect him to have such scheming and ambition.
Another named Xu Xiongjie continued: "Master calculates that when the master comes back, he must rest here, which has been the habit of the master for many years. At this moment, the master should be exhausted, so he sent the two of us to wait for the next time, looking for an opportunity to start...... As long as the master dies, the overall situation will be controlled by the master. Didn't expect ......"
"I didn't expect Zhou Bonian to die, I didn't die, I didn't expect such a plan to be nine out of ten to fail!" Zhuang Zhou made a summary of the confessions of the two of them, turned back to Xia Zhengliang and said: "They are Ling Yan's henchmen, and they will leave this act of killing teachers and destroying ancestors to you!"
Xia Zhengliang gritted his teeth, he didn't want to kill the two of them in his heart, but he couldn't help but shudder when he thought that Ling Yan was so vicious. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he gestured to a few big men beside him with his eyes. Several big men immediately stepped forward, and they couldn't help but pull up the two of them and drag them out.
Wang Jia and Xu Xiongjie's faces were like ashes, although they had already made up their minds to die, but after confessing, they had some luck to escape the death penalty, but they didn't expect that they would still be able to escape this catastrophe. Wang Jia even scolded: "Xia Zhengliang, what do you say that we killed the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, aren't you yourself also surrendering to the enemy, selling your teacher for glory, shameful!"
Xia Zhengliang's face changed greatly, and these words were like a slap in his heart, tearing out the guilt that was still in his heart. His face was purple, his hands were shaking, and the anger in his eyes was blazing......
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhuang Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! Zhou Bonian committed suicide by himself, what does it have to do with Xia Zhengliang? We went to Feimeng Mountain this time to ceremoniously bury Zhou Bonian, Xia Zhengliang is a man who values love and righteousness, how can you be compared to you traitors?"
Xia Zheng's conscience was moved, knowing that it was Zhuang Zhou who maintained his face, and after reprimanding the two, he also made them speechless by the way.
Several big men pulled Wang Jia and Xu Xiongjie out.
Zhuang turned his head and said to Xia Zhengliang: "I didn't expect this change in Feimeng Mountain...... What are you going to do?"
Xia Zhengliang gritted his teeth and said, "Ling Yan, this thief is too hateful! Usually, the master treats him well, and after being injured, he will give him such a rare Qi Returning Pill...... I didn't expect him to do such a despicable thing, I must kill him before I am willing!"
Zhuang Zhou nodded, thinking that Ling Yan's rebellion had done him a favor in going to Feimeng Mountain, at least diverting some contradictions, and at the same time finding an excuse for himself to subdue Feimeng Mountain - as soon as Ling Yan died, Feimeng Mountain really had no one in charge!
Nothing out of the ordinary happened that night.
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhuang Zhou and his pedestrians continued to march towards Feimeng Mountain.
Because of the assassination, Xia Zhengliang obviously strengthened the protection of Zhuang Zhou, and there were seven or eight big men tightly surrounding Zhuang Zhou. Zhuang Zhou originally felt that there was no need to be so nervous, and to be honest, even if there were really assassins, these big men would not help. But thinking that this was Xia Zhengliang's loyalty, it was really not good to brush off his kindness, so it was difficult to speak, so he had to let him arrange it.
I didn't expect it to be peaceful along the way.
Thinking about it, Ling Yan was too confident in his judgment and thought that this assassination was foolproof, so he didn't make other follow-up preparations. Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but sneer, and the little admiration for Ling Yan that he had just had slowly disappeared.
However, Zhuang Zhou began to regret that he killed Wang Jia and Xu Xiongjie on impulse. Originally, it was completely possible to use the two of them to return to the mountain to create an illusion and stabilize Ling Yan. It is not difficult to do this, and Zhuang Zhou has a wealth of experience.
Now, he can only act after going to Feimeng Mountain. (To be continued......)
