After the little eunuch and Xiang Yan went out, the old eunuch said to Xiang Yan: "If someone asks you in the future, you will say that your name is Xiao Xiangzi, and you are from the husband's room of Shangshan Supervisor Hai." Xiang Yan said, "Yes." The old eunuch took out a paper bag from his bosom, picked out a little powder with his fingernails from the bag, flicked it into the cup, poured another cup of tea, and said to Xiang Yan, "Drink it."

Dahan scolded on the side: "You are a senior master, but you poisoned a child, what kind of hero is it?" The old eunuch smiled slightly and said, "I was originally a despicable minion, a lowly hard-working man, and I was not a hero in the first place." Xiang Yan secretly hated in his heart and was forced to drink poisoned tea.

The old eunuch said: "Xiao Xiangzi, what I gave you is a chronic poison, and it will not attack until a year later." You help me do a good job, and I will naturally give you the antidote when the time comes. Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to realize that he was saying this to himself, and responded: "Yes."

The old eunuch asked the big man again: "Brother's surname?" Which school is it? Your Excellency is a good skill, and it doesn't seem to be our northern martial arts. Dahan said: "My surname is Mao, my name is Mao Eighteen, and I am under the door of the Five Tigers Broken Knife Gate in Taizhou." The old eunuch nodded and said, "Brother Mao Eighteen Mao, I have also heard of your name. I heard that the elder brother robbed his house in Yangzhou, killed officials and escaped from prison, and he did a lot of big things. Mao 18 said: "Not bad."

The old eunuch said: "Your Excellency came to the capital, what do you want to do?" Can you tell me about it? Mao 18 said: "That is, if you fall into your hands, you will kill or chop, and listen to it." The surname Mao is a man in the rivers and lakes, and he will not frown. If you want to extract a confession, then you are looking at the wrong person. The old eunuch smiled slightly and said, "Who doesn't know that Mao Eighteen is an iron-clad man, and he doesn't dare to force a confession." I heard that Your Excellency is a close confidant of the King of Pingxi in Yunnan......"

Before the old eunuch finished speaking, Mao Shibai was furious and shouted: "Who has anything to do with Wu Sangui, a big traitor? If you say that, you don't tarnish my name as a Mao Eighteen heroes. The old eunuch coughed a few times, smiled slightly, and said: "King Pingxi has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, and the master relies on him very much. If Your Excellency is a close confidant of King Pingxi, let's look at King Pingxi's face, and don't care about small mistakes. ”

Mao 18 said in a loud voice: "No, no! Mao Eighteen and Wu Sangui, the stinky thief, have nothing to do with each other, and the surname Mao will never use the light of a traitor. If you want to kill, you will kill, if you say that I am a confidant of Wu thief, the ancestors surnamed Mao have fallen into bad luck. The old eunuch smiled and said, "I also said that Your Excellency was sent to the capital by the King of Pingxi, so it turned out that I guessed wrong."

Mao 18 said loudly: "To tell you honestly, I heard in the south that Ao Bai was the number one warrior in Manchuria. What a palm splits a mad cow, kicks a tiger and a leopard, and says that the sky is falling. The surnamed Mao was not convinced, and specially went to the capital to come to him for a competition. The old eunuch sighed and said, "Do you want to compete with Ao Shaobao?" Ao Shaobao's official residence is the best, and in addition to the emperor and the queen mother in the capital, there are several Ao Shaobao. The old man has been waiting in the capital for ten or eight years, and he may not be able to see it, how can he compete with him? Mao Eighteen sighed.

The old eunuch said again: "Do you still want to compete with Ao Shaobao?" Mao Eighteen said: "May I ask how many percent of the martial arts of Ao worship are worthy of respect?" The old eunuch smiled slightly and said, "Ao Shaobao is a minister who cares about his life and is extremely glorious. I am a hard-working slut, how can I compare with Ao Shaobao, one in the sky and the other on the earth? Mao 18 said: "If there is half of your martial arts, I will never be an opponent."

The old eunuch smiled and said, "My brother is too modest. According to the old man, if the shallow effort is compared with Chen Jinnan, what is it? Mao 18 jumped up and asked, "...... you You...... What did you say? ”

The old eunuch said: "I'm asking about Chen Jinnan, the chief helmsman of your association. I heard that Mr. Chen has a 'Blood Crushing Claw', and his internal strength is very high. It's unpredictable. It's a pity that on the one hand, I'm not blessed to meet Mr. Chen. Mao Eighteen said: "I am not from the Heaven and Earth Society, and I have never met the helmsman of Chen." I only heard that Mr. Chen's martial arts are extremely high, but I don't know what kind of high law it is. ”

When he first heard Mao Shiba's name, Xiang Yan felt very familiar. Later, when he heard "Chen Jinnan", "Blood Condensation God Claw", and "Heaven and Earth Meeting", Xiang Yan was suddenly shocked in his heart: "Could it be that I actually arrived in the world of "The Legend of Deer and Ding"? The kid who followed Mao Eighteen was Wei Xiaobao? Now is the scene where Wei Xiaobao enters the palace? But is this the real world or the fiction world? Xiang Yan was confused in his heart.

The old eunuch sighed and said, "Brother Mao, I knew you were a man. With your skills, why don't you play for the Royals? In the future, it will not be difficult to be a commander, commander-in-chief, and adjutant general. Following the rebellion of heaven and earth, alas, ......" shook his head, and said: "That always ends well." I advise you with good words, you might as well rein in the precipice and retreat from the Heaven and Earth Society! ”

Mao 18 said: "I ...... I...... I am not from heaven and earth. Suddenly enlarged his throat and said, "I'm not denying it. The surnamed Mao only wanted to join the Heaven and Earth Society, but no one took him. There is a saying in the rivers and lakes: 'I don't know Chen Jinnan in my life, even if I call myself a hero, it is in vain'. Husband Hai, you have heard this before. The dignified Han man surnamed Mao, although he did not enter the Heaven and Earth Society, but he was determined to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, how could he oppose the Qing court and become a traitor? Kill me! The murder and arson surnamed Mao committed something too big and should have died a long time ago. It's just that I didn't see Chen Jinnan, and I didn't close my eyes when he died. ”

As Mao Shibai spoke, the old eunuch began to cough again, and the more he coughed, the worse it became. By the time Mao Eighteen finished speaking, the old eunuch was already coughing out of breath, and his yellow face suddenly turned red. The little eunuch said, "Father-in-law, can you take another dose?" The old eunuch shook his head, but he coughed. After coughing, he couldn't help but stand up and fork his head with his right hand, looking extremely painful.

At this time, Mao Eighteen Yi leaned in, took Wei Xiaobao with his left hand, pulled Xiang Yan with his right hand and rushed out of the door. The old eunuch pinched the thumb and index finger of his right hand to the edge of the table, pinched a small piece of wood on the edge of the table, and with a "snort", it bounced out, hitting Mao Eighteen's right leg, and Mao Eighteen immediately fell to his knees on the ground. With a "snort", another piece of wood popped out, and Mao Shiba's left leg was hit again. In the coughing sound of the old eunuch, Mao Shibai and Wei Xiaobao rolled to the ground together, and Xiang Yan fell to the ground in fright.

The little eunuch said to the old eunuch: "Take another half dose, most of them will not be tight." The old eunuch said, "Okay, good, just ...... Just a little, it's a little more dangerous. The little eunuch replied, "Yes." Reaching out and taking out the medicine bag from the old eunuch's hand, he turned back into the inner chamber and took a glass of wine. I opened the medicine bag, stretched out my little finger, and picked a little powder with my fingernail. The old eunuch said, "Lady...... Too much ......". The little eunuch said, "Yes." Put some of the powder in the nails back into the medicine bag, and forget about the old eunuch.

The old eunuch nodded, coughed loudly again, and suddenly threw himself forward, crawling on the ground, and writhing. The little eunuch was shocked, rushed over, and shouted, "Father-in-law, father-in-law, what's wrong with you?" The old eunuch gasped, "Okay...... It's hot...... Help...... Help me...... Water...... Tank...... Immerse yourself in the water tank ...... Dip ......". The little eunuch said, "Yes." Picking up the old eunuch vigorously, the two staggered into the inner room, and then heard the sound of splashing water.

At this time, Wei Xiaobao stood up quietly, walked to the table gently, stretched out his fingers and poured five fingers of medicinal powder into the wine, and then folded the medicine bag in half and opened it again. I heard the little eunuch in the inner room say, "Father-in-law, are you better?" Don't soak it for too long. The old eunuch said, "It's hot...... Good...... It's as hot as fire. Wei Xiaobao took the dagger on the table in his hand again, returned to Mao Eighteen and fell to the ground.

Xiang Yan knew that the old eunuch was only blinded by poison and was not dead. I wanted to add more medicine powder to poison the old eunuch directly, but my legs were weak and I couldn't stand up. I wanted to remind Wei Xiaobao to let Wei Xiaobao add more medicine powder in order to poison the old eunuch, but he couldn't speak.

After a short while, the sound of water sounded. The old eunuch was soaking wet, and he was supported by the little eunuch and came out of the inner room, still coughing. The little eunuch picked up the wine glass and fed it to his mouth, but the old eunuch coughed and drank it inconveniently: "Can you not eat it...... It's better not to ...... Don't take this medicine ......". The little eunuch said, "Yes." He placed the wine glass on the table, wrapped the medicine bag, and put it in the old eunuch's arms.

But the old eunuch coughed loudly again, and pointed to the glass. The little eunuch picked up the glass and brought it to his mouth, and this time the old eunuch drank it dry. Mao 18 said "ah" at this time, and the old eunuch said, "You...... Do you want to ...... Get out alive ......", suddenly there was a "whoa" sound, and the chair collapsed. The old eunuch leaned towards the table, and with two sounds, "hehe", "hehe", the table collapsed again, and even the people with the table fell down.

The little eunuch shouted in shock: "Father-in-law, father-in-law!" Grab it and help it. The vest was facing Mao Shiba, Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan. Wei Xiaobao jumped up slightly, lifted the dagger, and stabbed at his vest. The little eunuch snorted and was killed.
