Wan'er pursed her lips and said, "You came to kill me for him?" ”

Sachiko Hojo shook her head and said indifferently: "I'm not killing you for him, I'm for myself, don't you plan to take my life too?" ”

Wan'er knew that her murderous intent had risen, and said in a trembling voice: "If you let me go now, I will never say it." ”

Sachiko Hojo sighed and said, "If it were you, would you let me go again?" I didn't know you on the first day, so don't you know what kind of person you are? You will never let me go, and I will only be safe and sound until you die. ”

Ling Tianxiao was shocked: "You really want to kill her? ”

Sachiko Hojo looked at her directly, was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "You'd better kill her before she gets poisoned, because the poison on that dart is terrible, and if the poison attacks, she will bleed from seven holes and die of torture." Alas, she is my senior sister after all, and I don't want to treat her like this. ”

Although Ling Tianxiao was reluctant, he had also walked around the rivers and lakes for a while, and knew the truth that cutting grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows. Besides, what Sachiko Hojo said was true, if he hadn't rescued her in time, she would have died here. Although he didn't know this person named Wan'er, the human heart is sinister, and people will lie to some extent in order to survive, and it is not certain whether they will keep their promises when such people are safe.

Ling Tianxiao took a deep breath, the tip of the sword swung suddenly, and suddenly there was a bloody mark on Wan'er's white neck, her eyes widened, she groaned a few times, and fell to the ground with a thud. Ling Tianxiao had killed countless people, but he was still a little reluctant to kill a woman who had no power to resist. He sighed, put away the Zixiao Sword, picked up Sachiko Hojo, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Sachiko Hojo smiled, "If you don't come, it's not good." ”

Ling Tianxiao said worriedly: "Can you still go?" Hojo Sachiko's beautiful eyes were deep, her slender hand slowly opened outward, Ling Tianxiao showed a wry smile, picked her up, and took her back to the other courtyard without realizing it.

Sachiko Hojo was lightly placed on the bed, her beautiful eyes were half-closed, her mouth was slightly open, her breath was like an orchid, and she hugged Ling Tianxiao's neck and refused to let go. Ling Tianxiao swept around, there was no one outside, and the fire in his heart rose, and he kissed her thin lips. Sachiko Hojo had just walked in hell, and now it was as if she had come to heaven and earth, with great ups and downs, and even she felt ridiculous. But because of this, she was even more open and enjoyable, and the two lingered as much as possible, and they separated after a long time.

Hojo Sachiko lay in his arms, a satisfied smile on her face, and the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the courtyard, Ling Tianxiao was startled and hurriedly jumped out of bed. He saw Yu Xinquan from the window, frowned, put down the bed curtain to cover Sachiko Hojo, and quickly got dressed and walked to the door. Yu Xinquan saw him and wondered, "Is Ling Shaoxia waiting for someone?" ”

Ling Tianxiao shook his head and said, "I'm just walking around, what advice does Lord Yu Guan have?" ”

Yu Xinquan lifted a pot of wine and said indifferently: "This is a special medicinal wine made by Canghaiguan, which is very effective in the treatment of internal injuries, Ling Shaoxia saved us, and this pot of medicinal wine will be regarded as my return gift." ”

Ling Tianxiao sniffed the smell of plaster emanating from his body, frowned slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Yu Guan is seriously injured, this pot of wine should be left for Lord Yu Guan to drink by himself!" ”

Yu Xinquan smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't worry Ling Shaoxia, there are still many more medicinal wines." He opened the lid and was about to pour the wine when Nangong Ying came out unexpectedly.

Nangong Ying saw Yu Xinquan and remembered his aggressive posture at the conference a few days ago, and couldn't help but show contempt. She said reluctantly: "Lord Yuguan, my father invited you to go." ”

Yu Xinquan frowned and said, "Now?" ”

The corners of Nangong Ying's mouth raised lightly: "Yes, it's now." ”

Yu Xinquan was embarrassed, he looked at Ling Tianxiao, reluctantly put down the wine, and said in a deep voice: "This medicinal wine can't be drunk directly, it has a special way to drink it, so remember to wait for me to come back." With that, Yu Xinquan waved his hem and strode back.

Ling Tianxiao glanced at Nangong Ying and wondered, "Why is the owner of Nangong Zhuang looking for him?" ”

Nangong Ying smiled and said: , That's just me talking casually, my father doesn't want to see him. She sat down, held up her pretty face and said, looked at the medicine and wine, and said, "The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, I think you should throw it away!" ”

Ling Tianxiao frowned and stopped, "This is not good. ”

Nangong Ying chuckled: "Of course I lied to you, I will never do this again, but that old guy has a very bad character, but the medicinal wine of Canghaiguan is indeed famous." ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled: "If you stay and wait for him, you may be able to have a drink." ”

Nangong Ying stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "I played him a trick just now, if I don't run away at this time, I won't be scolded when he comes back." Besides, this medicinal wine is medicinal wine, how can there be any special way to drink it, it is really tricky. Nangong Ying ignored Ling Tianxiao's stop, poured the medicinal wine into the cup, and drank it all.

Ling Tianxiao asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Nangong Ying shook her head, and after a while, she suddenly felt that her body was hot, her feet were weak, and she couldn't use any strength. Nangong Ying gasped and said, "This, what's going on?" I felt like my strength was being sucked away. ”

Ling Tianxiao was surprised, and hurriedly helped her to the bed, and Sachiko Hojo didn't care about being discovered, so she lifted the bed curtain and lifted her up. Nangong Ying saw that she was not clothed, and immediately guessed the relationship between them, and couldn't help but bow her head in amazement. Ling Tianxiao didn't have time to explain to her, his eyes looked directly at Sachiko Hojo and asked, "What kind of poison did she get?" ”

Sachiko Hojo palpated a little, touched her meridians, looked at her dilated pupils again, and said in a deep voice: "It's just a medicine, although I don't know what it is, it shouldn't cause death." ”

Ling Tianxiao frowned and said, "How is this possible, you check it carefully, this pot of wine was originally meant to be given to me, if Yu Xinquan really wants to deal with me, then this wine should be highly poisonous." ”

Hojo Sachiko looked at him, couldn't help but smile, and the corners of her mouth raised lightly: "Although I am not as good as you when it comes to swordsmanship, you are still far from poisoning!" She put on a shirt and pointed to the pot of wine, saying, "Your suspicion is so serious, he has long thought that you will never drink this wine easily, so if you want to win your trust, you must take it yourself." Of course, it was impossible for him to test the poison himself, so he had already taken the antidote. ”

Ling Tianxiao retorted: "Even if it is highly poisonous, there is an antidote, so why use medicine." ”

Hojo Sachiko's eyes rolled, and he chuckled: "This is what you don't understand, many people think that poisoning is good as long as you take the antidote, but that's actually only half right, because the poison will attack from the beginning of the throat, if the poison spreads quickly, it will spread all over the body in an instant, even if you take the antidote first, you will not be completely spared, at least your throat will be burned and damaged." ”

Ling Tianxiao thought for a long time, and said indifferently: "However, according to what you said, maybe the person who poisoned him was not him at all, and he was just being used." ”

Sachiko Hojo gave him a blank look and sneered: "He must be someone in the know, you forgot that he said that he wanted you to wait for him to come back before drinking, which means that he knew that there was a problem in the wine." Besides, don't you think the smell of plaster on his body is too mixed? I had studied medicine and poison since I was a child, and the smell of medicine on his body was so unreasonable that it didn't look like it was for injury at all, but more like he deliberately mixed a variety of medicinal powders together, and I guess he wanted to use it to cover up the strange smell in the wine. ”

Ling Tianxiao was shocked when he heard this: "So, he really wants to harm me? He clasped his arms around his arms and said with a puzzled expression: "Even if he didn't have a good impression of me, but no matter how I said it, I saved his life. ”

Sachiko Hojo shrugged and said, "Who else is here besides you and me, even if I kill you, who knows?" And he may have a reason to kill you. ”

Ling Tianxiao asked, "What reason?" ”

Sachiko Hojo sighed, "Didn't you notice his steps? Did he look like a wounded man with steady steps? The smell of medicine on his body was a random mix-and-match, indicating that he was not seriously injured at all. ”

Ling Tianxiao frowned and said: "I also noticed this, I thought that he couldn't take care of his subordinates and didn't want to show weakness in front of me, so he supported himself, listening to you like this, there are really many doubts in it." ”

Sachiko Hojo smiled: "You still have to tie the bell to the bell, you just need to arrest him to know everything." She reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from Nangong Ying's forehead, and said indifferently: "I'll wait to prescribe her medicine, she should be fine." ”

Ling Tianxiao said happily: "Then please leave it to you." ”

Sachiko Hojo gave him a charming look and sneered, "Are you finally willing to trust me now?" ”

Ling Tianxiao scratched his face and said with a little embarrassment: "Alas, I couldn't help myself at the beginning. ”

Sachiko Hojo cupped his face, kissed him lightly and said, "Okay, I also know that I am not from the Central Plains, and I have hurt you many times, so it's normal for you not to believe me." I just want you to know that I won't hurt you anymore from now on. ”

Ling Tianxiao nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I will also believe you in the future." The two glanced at each other, laughed at each other, and immediately began to work on the strategy of dealing with Yu Xinquan.

Canghaiguan has a history of more than 100 years in the rivers and lakes, and martial arts is also quite prestigious, Yu Xinquan is the master of Yiguan after all, Ling Tianxiao did not dare to underestimate the enemy's carelessness, so he asked Hojo Sachiko to prepare medicine, intending to return it to his body with his own way. Ling Tianxiao poured out the medicinal wine first, and then put in the fine wine that Nangong Du gave him that day, and Sachiko Hojo took the opportunity to put down the medicine.

After everything was ready, Yu Xinquan, who had been deceived by Nangong Ying, came back, glanced at Ling Tianxiao, and asked, "Where is Miss Nangong now?" ”

Ling Tianxiao pretended to be calm and said, "She just left, did something happen?" ”

Yu Xinquan looked at him for a while, and said in a deep voice: "No, it's nothing. As soon as these words came out, Ling Tianxiao was even more suspicious, because Yu Xinquan was usually arrogant and arrogant, but now he was being played around by a small head, how could he still be calm. If he hadn't been a thief, he would have been angry and scolded loudly.

Ling Tianxiao coughed dryly and diverted the topic: "By the way, how do you drink this medicinal wine?" ”

Yu Xinquan seemed to think of the right thing, hurriedly lifted the wine jug to pour wine for him, and said with a stiff smile that was forced out: "This medicinal wine is unique to our Canghai Temple, and it is very good for recuperating the body, in fact, there is no special way to drink it, just shake the cup a few times before drinking, so that the taste can be more even." ”

According to the original plan, Ling Tianxiao deliberately raised his vigilance and stared at Yu Xinquan, Yu Xinquan had already prepared, drank the medicinal wine in front of him without hurrying, and then filled the wine glass and handed it to him.

Ling Tianxiao stretched out his hand and put down the wine glass, and first said something inconsequential, and only after letting the effect of the medicine take effect did he smile and say, "Lord Yu Guan, this medicinal wine is so powerful, I wonder if Lord Yu Guan has felt it?" ”

Yu Xinquan didn't realize it at first, until he found that his throat was itchy, his eyelids were swollen and painful, and his body was weak and couldn't exert his strength, so he realized that he had been poisoned. He was dumbfounded, and said in surprise: "You, you were poisoned? ”

Ling Tianxiao didn't hide it at this time, he removed the pot of wine, and the thief smiled: "I'm just imitating you." ”

Yu Xinquan let out a loud shout, and just as Ling Tianxiao was attracted by the sound, he stretched out his right hand and quickly took out a packet of medicinal powder, swallowed it in one gulp, and then clicked on a few acupoints. Sachiko Hojo, who was hiding behind the screen, was shocked, flew out, threw darts, and Yu Xinquan dodged, reached out with both hands, and knocked all the darts to the ground.

Ling Tianxiao looked surprised, thinking that he was not poisoned, how could he still have the strength to fight back? At the same time, Sachiko Hojo rushed and said, "This guy is a ninja!" ”

Ling Tianxiao turned his head and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Sachiko Hojo explained: "This medicine is the medicine of our ninjas, ordinary people can't solve it, he can react to what poison is in a short time, and he still has the antidote on his body, which means that he is also a ninja." ”

Yu Xinquan's shoulders trembled, his appearance seemed to be the center of the matter, his face turned hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It turned out that you were a ghost, I didn't expect that the traitor would be you." ”

Although Ling Tianxiao didn't know the current situation, he knew very well that Yu Xin was not a good person, just knowing that this was enough. He pulled out the purple cloud sword on his waist and slashed it down, Yu Xin couldn't dodge it, and a sword was slashed on his face. Ling Tianxiao was taken aback on the spot, it turned out that Yu Xinquan's face was a mask, and there was a face underneath.

Yu Xinquan saw that his deeds were exposed, and he didn't intend to hide it, he tore off the mask he used to disguise, revealing a face with relatively delicate facial features and about twenty years old.

Sachiko Hojo was surprised: "Satoru Uesugi? ”

Ling Tianxiao asked, "Do you know him?" ”

Sachiko Hojo nodded: "He is also a ninja of the Iga faction, and he was originally my senior brother, but many years ago because of his confrontation with his master, he was forced to worship under other people's disciples, and I have rarely seen him since then." ”

Uesugi Satoru said coldly: "Hmph, at the beginning, he said that I had bad intentions and was not loyal enough to him, so he handed me over to someone else. As a result, what about his own disciples, they didn't fall in love with the Central Plains man, and even betrayed the Iga faction. ”

Sachiko Hojo frowned and said, "I didn't betray, and the Iga faction didn't want me to kill him." ”

Uesugi Satoru sneered: "The people above didn't give you a direct order, but this doesn't mean that they agree that you are defending this Central Plains man everywhere, and even secretly helping him." If they knew, I'd see what you would say. ”
