Chapter 387: Xu Yuan was held hostage by the Ninth Son
Just as Tai Hao was about to start an earth-shattering battle with the legendary "Nine Sons of the Dragon", two shadows floated in, like two blooming green lotuses, which were particularly eye-catching on the blood-colored battlefield. It was Xu Yuan and Ruoshui, and the two beautiful women also came to Taihao's side with a little worry and nervousness at this moment.
Xu Yuan looked at the nine burly and menacing opponents, and couldn't help frowning, she whispered to Tai Hao: "Lang Jun, why are the nine of them here again?" There was an imperceptible tremor in her voice, and she was clearly terrified of the impending battle.
Taihao gently held Xu Yuan's hand and gave her firm strength. He took a deep breath, his gaze became deeper and firmer, and he said in a deep voice: "Xu Yuan, you and Ruoshui should go back to their backyard first." There's a fierce battle going on here, and you're here to distract me. Rest assured, I'll deal with them. ”
Xu Yuan and Ruoshui glanced at each other, and they both saw worry and reluctance in each other's eyes. But they also understand that Taihao at this moment needs to concentrate on dealing with the strong enemy in front of him. So, they nodded silently and turned to walk in the direction of the backyard.
For a while, the storm seemed to be cheering for the upcoming big battle. Just when Taihao was preparing to fight to the death with the "Nine Sons of the Dragon", the situation of the battle suddenly changed.
The four brothers of Mocking Wind, Pu Lao, Foxy, and Baxia flashed quickly like ghosts, and instantly appeared in front of Xu Yuan and Ruoshui. The four of them moved quickly and cooperated tacitly, and they subdued the two women in one fell swoop. Xu Yu wanted to resist, but she was firmly held down by Mocking Wind and Pu Prison, and her internal force seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, unable to perform any moves.
Seeing this, Taihao was anxious. He roared angrily: "Xu Yuan, Ruoshui!" As soon as his body moved, he wanted to come forward to rescue them. However, at the moment when he was about to rush out, the four prisoner ox, the fox, the negative man, and the mantis kiss blocked his way like an iron wall. Tai Hao's heart sank, knowing that the strength of these four should not be underestimated, and he had to go all out to deal with it.
The night is like ink, the moon is like water, but the front yard of Xu Mansion is as tense and solemn as a battlefield at the moment. A thrilling fight is being staged fiercely, and the sword light and fist shadows are intertwined into a thrilling picture.
Taihao is inseparable from the four fights of the prisoner cow, the relent, the negative scum, and the kiss, and the sword qi is vertical and horizontal, as if there are ten thousand cold rays flickering. Their figures staggered in the moonlight, and each collision made a deafening sound, like a thunderbolt bursting, which was terrifying.
Just as the battle was heating up, Mock Wind burst out laughing, a high-pitched and piercing laugh that echoed through the night sky. He sneered, "Taihao, do you want us to kill these two women?" His voice was full of provocation and threat, as if he wanted to ignite Taihao's anger completely.
Tai Hao's heart tightened, he knew that mocking Feng was not joking. He looked at Xu Yuan and Ruoshui, who were subdued to the ground, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger and fear in his heart, and shouted at them, "Let them two go!" Otherwise, I will splatter your blood on the spot today." ”
His voice was firm and powerful, as if it was about to tear the night sky apart. For a moment, the entire front yard seemed to be shocked by his voice, and even the air seemed to freeze.
When the "Nine Sons of the Dragon" heard this, his face changed slightly. They obviously didn't expect Taihao to be so resolute. However, instead of flinching, they laughed even more arrogantly. Mocking Wind sneered: "Taihao, who do you think you are?" Our 'Nine Dragons' are not something you can threaten at will! ”
As soon as his words fell, he saw a cold light flash, and Taihao had already launched an even more fierce attack. His body is like electricity, his swordsmanship is like a rainbow, and each sword seems to have a thunderous momentum, approaching the vital point of the thieves such as the prison cow. And they were not to be outdone, they showed their own stunts one after another, and launched a thrilling duel with Taihao.
However, just as the battle situation seemed to be completely tilted in favor of Taihao, the "Nine Sons of the Dragon" flashed like ghosts, and their figures quickly disappeared in the night, leaving only a mixture of shock and confusion. And at this critical moment, they actually kidnapped Xu Yu and kidnapped her, leaving only the panicked Ruoshui.
Seeing this, Taihao felt a strong anger and worry in his heart. He was about to pull out his legs to chase after him, but he was hugged tightly by Ruoshui. She said in a trembling voice: "Taihao, I'm afraid, don't chase after you." Sister Xu, she knows martial arts, she will be fine. Besides, we don't know where the thieves have gone, and we can't catch up with them at the moment......"
When Tai Hao heard this, although he was very anxious in his heart, he also knew that what Ruoshui said was true. He sighed deeply, suppressed his anger in his heart, turned around to help Ruoshui, and said, "Ruoshui, I must save Xu Yuan." You go back to the house now, don't go anywhere, and be careful of your own safety. ”
However, at this moment, a feathered arrow suddenly burst through the air, passed by, and shot at a wooden pillar. Everyone was stunned, and saw that there was a piece of paper tied to the arrow feather. The butler quickly stepped forward to take down the note and handed it to Taihao.
Taihao unfolded the note, only to see that it was written: "Within seven days, take the secret book in your hand to exchange your lady's life outside the city!" The handwriting is arrogant and hideous, as if it can penetrate the back of the paper and pierce people's hearts.
Taihao looked at the note, and his anger erupted like a volcano. He clenched his fists, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and shouted angrily: "'Nine sons of the dragon'! How dare you threaten me so arrogantly! I'm going to make you pay! ”
His voice echoed in the night sky, filled with untold anger and determination. And at this moment, the front yard of Xu Mansion seems to have become more solemn and nervous because of this anger.
That night, the moonlight was like water, sprinkled all over the entire Xu Mansion. Tai Hao sat alone in the study, the lights were bright, and his figure looked more and more lonely and firm in the candlelight. His brow furrowed, his eyes deep, as if he were pondering some extremely difficult question.
Since last night's battle, Taihao's heart has been full of worries about Xu Yuan. He knew very well that Xu Yuan had been following him to practice the "Ranger Miracle Skill" for a long time, and although his skills were not perfect, he was by no means an ordinary person. However, she was easily taken away by the "Nine Sons of the Dragon", which was really unexpected by Taihao.
He thought back to the battle scene of last night, and every detail was vivid. Xu Yuan's skills, reactions, and the moves she performed all felt very familiar to him. But why did she fall into the hands of the enemy at such a critical moment? Could it be that I have neglected something? Or is there some hidden secret in the "Nine Sons of the Dragon"?
Possibilities kept popping up in Tai Hao's mind, and he tried to find a clue in them. However, the more he thought about it, the more confused and uneasy he felt in his heart. He knew that he had to come up with a way to rescue Xu Yu as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
It was late at night, but Taihao didn't feel sleepy. He stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the moonlight. The moonlight sprinkled on his body like water, as if he was covered with a layer of silver armor. He took a deep breath and secretly made up his mind in his heart: No matter what, he must rescue Xu Yuan!
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness. Taihao suddenly felt a palpitation, as if something bad was about to happen. He immediately turned around in alarm, his eyes scanning his surroundings like a torch. However, there was silence all around, as if nothing had happened.
Taihao shook his head, secretly laughing at his suspicion in his heart. He sat down again and continued to think about ways to rescue Xu Yuan. However, his heart could not be calmed down, and that sense of foreboding always lingered.
This night, Taihao stayed awake all night. His heart was full of worries about Xu Yuan and uncertainty about the future. But he knew that no matter how many hardships and dangers lay ahead, he had to persevere until he rescued Xu Yuan.
Early the next morning, the morning light was shining, and everything was silent. As soon as Tai Hao opened his eyes as deep as stars, he heard a rapid knock outside the door. He frowned slightly, and an inexplicable premonition surged in his heart, and then he turned over and got out of bed, and came out of his clothes.
"What's the matter with the housekeeper so early?" There was a hint of hoarseness in Taihao's voice, but it was not majestic.
The butler walked in with a handkerchief in his hand and a solemn expression. He carefully unfolded the handkerchief, revealing two silver needles wrapped inside. The silver needle glowed with a faint black light, as if swallowing all the light, and it looked extremely strange.
"It was found in the front yard and I thought it was suspicious." The butler whispered, a hint of unease in his tone.
Taihao's eyes were like torches, staring at the two silver needles tightly. A strong instinct swelled up in his heart, knowing that there must be a secret hidden in it. He reached out and gently picked up a silver needle, studying it. The tip of the silver needle was sharp and sharp, and it seemed to be able to easily penetrate all obstacles. What surprised him even more was that the surface of the silver needle was covered with a faint layer of black gas, as if it was a demon crawling out of hell.
"There must be poison on this silver needle." Tai Hao spoke slowly, and his voice revealed an unmistakable firmness.
When the butler heard this, his face suddenly turned as pale as paper. He knows Taihao's martial arts is strong, knowledgeable, and has a deep understanding of poisons. If even he said so, then there must be a deadly poison on this silver needle.
"You take these two silver needles to the pharmacy and ask the shopkeeper there to help see if they are poisonous." Tai Hao said in a deep voice, rewrapped the silver needle, and handed it to the butler.
The butler took the handkerchief and carefully placed it in his bosom. He knew the importance of this matter and did not dare to be careless. So, he quickly turned and left, ready to go to the pharmacy to find answers.
Taihao watched the butler's back disappear outside the door, but his heart was full of contemplation. He knew that the appearance of these two silver needles was no accident, and there must be some kind of conspiracy hidden behind them. And what he has to do is to uncover this layer of fog and find the truth, which may have something to do with Xu Yuan's arrest.
The housekeeper turned to leave, and Ruoshui took the steaming breakfast and walked lightly into Taihao's room. She had a gentle smile on her face and a glint of concern in her eyes.
"Taihao, are you awake...... Ruoshui said softly, putting breakfast on the table, then walked over to Taihao's side and looked at him worriedly.
Taihao raised his head and saw Ruoshui's concerned eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. He smiled slightly and said, "Ruoshui, are you okay?" ”
Ruoshui shook his head lightly and said, "I did freak out last night, and I still have lingering palpitations, but it's much better." With you, I'm not afraid. ”
When Tai Hao heard this, his heart was moved. He knew that he owed too much water, and she had suffered a lot over the years. So, he took a deep breath and suddenly asked, "Ruoshui, do you know the 'Nine Sons of the Dragon'?" ”
When Ruoshui heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then frowned slightly, as if he was trying to remember something. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I've never heard of them. Who are they? Why did you arrest Sister Xu? ”
Tai Hao was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "They are a group of evildoers who specialize in oppressing the people and robbing property. The arrest of Xu Yuan this time is also to force me to hand over some kind of cheats. ”
When Ruoshui heard this, his face showed a look of horror. She held Taihao's hand tightly and said, "Taihao, you must be careful. These thieves sound very dangerous, and I don't want you to be hurt in any way. ”
Taihao gently patted the back of Ruoshui's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." I will definitely rescue Xu Yuan and make these villains pay the price they deserve. ”
When Ruoshui heard this, his heart calmed down a little. She nodded lightly and said, "I believe in you." Grab breakfast and don't let these things get in your way. ”
After saying that, she turned around and walked to the table and began to cook for Taihao. Taihao, on the other hand, sat quietly on the edge of the bed, thinking about how to deal with the impending crisis.
Ruo Shui Dai's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her bright eyes were full of worry and confusion, and she asked softly: "Taihao, the secret book they keep asking for is the ancient book I brought you before?" ”
A hint of firmness flashed in Taihao's eyes, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "That's indeed one of them, but it's not all. ”
When Ruoshui heard this, she was even more puzzled, and she asked, "Then how many cheats are there?" Why would they be so obsessed with getting them? ”
Tai Hao took a deep breath, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Ruoshui, there are some things, it's better that you don't know too much." There are so many grievances and strife involved in these cheats, and the less you know, the more you can protect yourself. ”
When Ruoshui heard this, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in her heart, but she still didn't give up, and continued: "But, if we give them the cheats, won't Sister Xu be able to come back safely?" Why are you so stubborn and unwilling to hand over the cheats? ”
Tai Hao gently held Ruoshui's hand, looked at her firmly, and said, "Ruoshui, there are some things that can't be solved by handing over the cheats." Those scoundrels are insatiable, and even if we hand over a copy, they will ask for more. Moreover, these cheats are related to the safety of martial arts, and they must not easily fall into their hands. Don't worry, I will find a way to rescue Xu Yuan, and at the same time, I will protect you. ”
