Chapter 391: The wind wants to rescue Taihao
Blower looked at the unconscious Taihao, and his heart was uneasy. He walked up to the Prison Bull and asked tentatively, "Prisoner Bull Hero, what if Tai Hao can't wake up all the time?" β
The prisoner bull glanced at him coldly, and said lightly: "If he can't wake up, it has nothing to do with you." I will declare on the rivers and lakes that Taihao was killed by me, you don't have to worry. β
Although Blower heard the reassurance of the imprisoned cow, the anxiety in his heart did not dissipate. He thought for a moment and said, "I think I'd better guard him, maybe my company can make him wake up as soon as possible." β
The imprisoned cow looked at the resolute eyes of the blower, and a trace of approval flashed in his heart. He nodded and said, "Okay, then you can stay in the cave with him!" But remember, if anything happens to him, report it to me immediately. β
Blower nodded, glanced at the captive cow gratefully, and then turned and walked towards the cave. He silently prayed in his heart that Taihao would wake up as soon as possible, and at the same time he was ready to deal with all emergencies.
Why is the wind so concerned about Taihao's safety? The reason for this is not complicated. With a hidden purpose, he followed the prison ox to the steep land of Shude Mountain.
His master, the poisonous king Yan Wolf, who was famous in the southwest, had long been notorious in the rivers and lakes. The methods of the flame wolf are vicious, and the behavior is strange, which makes people frightened. As his disciple, Gu Feng naturally inherited a bit of ruthlessness and unruliness from his master. Therefore, when faced with the choice of getting rid of Tai Hao, he did not hesitate to choose to use the terrifying "Phantom Soul Scatter". For him, the means are not important, the important thing is to achieve the end.
However, the purpose of the wind blast was not just to take Taihao's life. His real intention was to send Tai Hao to Thousand Winds City intact and hand it over to the mysterious young spirit in person. Behind this, there is a huge temptation of profit - a batch of silver that is enough to make his heart move. In the eyes of Jianghu people, money and fame are always the biggest driving forces. Blower is no exception, and he is eager to get that handsome reward for completing this task, so as to go further in the rivers and lakes.
The wind of Shude Mountain seems to have a trace of murderous aura. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking in the direction of Thousand Winds City, his heart was full of anticipation and anxiety. He knew that his fate was about to change dramatically because of this mission. And Taihao's safety will also be the key to whether he can successfully win the silver reward.
Stepping into the deep, dimly lit cave was like stepping into another world. The cave was damp, and the moss on the stone walls glowed a faint green glow in the faint light. When he came to the place where Taihao was being held, he saw that Taihao was firmly locked by thick chains, his face was haggard, but his eyes still flashed with an unyielding light.
He glanced at the two minions guarding beside him, a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Two brothers, it's hard work." The Prisoner Bull has an order, let me change you to go back to rest. I'll leave it to me. β
When the two minions heard this, their faces immediately turned happy, as if they had unloaded a thousand pounds of burden. They looked at each other, a hint of cunning flashing in their eyes, as if they believed the words of the blower. So, they left the cave in high spirits, leaving the wind alone to face Taihao.
When the two minions walked away, Blower immediately took out a delicate small medicine bottle from his arms, gently uncorked it, and took out a pill with a faint blue light from it. He walked up to Tai Hao and put the pill in Tai Hao's mouth. The pill melted in his mouth, turning into a cool breath that quickly spread in Taihao's body.
After a moment, Taihao's eyes slowly opened, and a hint of brightness regained in his eyes. He felt that the restraints on his body had mostly disappeared, but he still couldn't move. He looked up at the blast, his eyes full of doubt and vigilance, and asked, "Where is this?" β
Gu Feng smiled slightly and said, "This is the depths of Shude Mountain, fortunately I have the antidote to the 'Phantom Soul Scattering', otherwise you would really die here." β
Hearing this, Tai Hao's brows tightened, and he didn't seem to fully believe the words of the blower. He went on to ask, "Why do you have an antidote?" And why save me? β
Brisk's eyes twinkled, as if he was thinking about how to answer. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "The antidote, naturally, my master gave it to me." As for why I want to save you, it's because I have my purpose. Now, though, is not the time to tell you. You just need to know that I won't hurt you. β
Taihao's pupils reflected the flickering candle flame in the cave, and he tried to move his body, only to find that he was still bound by chains. He frowned and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?" β
Blower looked at him and said slowly, "It's been almost three days. β
When Tai Hao heard this, an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, and he looked at the wind again, with a trace of doubt and vigilance in his eyes: "Since you have an antidote, why didn't you take it out to save me in the dense forest outside Wurong City?" β
Hearing this, the corners of his mouth hooked up a wry smile, he walked to Taihao's side, squatted down, and said softly: "Taihao, you don't know, the amount of antidote in my bottle is very small, and it is extremely precious." At that time, in the dense forest, many knights gathered, and if I easily came up with an antidote, I am afraid that it would cause unnecessary strife. Besides, I didn't expect the Prison Cow to do such a thing, and to use so many 'Phantom Scatters' against you. β
Tai Hao's eyes flashed with an unyielding light, he frowned slightly, staring at the iron chains wrapped around his body, as if those cold chains were also provoking him. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I'm locked by this chain now, it's really unbearable, can you help me untie it?" β
Hearing this, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly walked to Taihao's side, gently stroking the chains, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he raised his head, looked at Taihao with a determined gaze, and said, "I will naturally help you untie these chains and let you regain your freedom." But before you do that, you need to promise me one thing. β
Tai Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, a trace of doubt surged in his heart, and he asked, "What's the matter?" β
Brushing Feng took a deep breath and slowly said his purpose: "The Shaoling General of the Imperial Court has now raised the reward for capturing you to 50,000 taels of silver, which is a lot of money. I would like to ask you to accompany me to Thousand Winds City, and we will go together to collect the fifty thousand taels of silver. β
When Tai Hao heard the wind blow, a trace of doubt and vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he stared at the wind tightly, as if he was searching for the true intention in his words. He said in a deep voice, "You're not kidding, are you? You asked me to go with you to the Thousand Winds City, and then handed me over to Shaoling and let him dispose of me? β
Seeing this, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sly smile, and he shook his head and said, "Taihao Daxia, you are too worried." Although I am in the rivers and lakes, I am not a ruthless and unrighteous person. Your martial arts are so strong, how could I easily let you fall into the hands of Shaoling? As long as you are willing to cooperate with me and successfully obtain the 50,000 taels of silver, I will help you escape from the Thousand Winds City and let you regain your freedom. β
When Tai Hao heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, as if he was thinking about whether the words of the wind were credible. He said in a deep voice: "Since you are the apprentice of the Southwest Poison King, you should not be short of money, why are you so desperate for silver taels?" β
Gu Feng sighed, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he explained: "Although my master is powerful, there are many disciples under him, and the competition is fierce. Although I have received the true inheritance of the master, the rivers and lakes are sinister, and I still need a lot of money to consolidate my position. When I was a child, I was afraid of poverty, and I knew that it was difficult to move an inch in the rivers and lakes without money. That's why I'm going to take the risk to help you, just for the fifty thousand taels of silver. β
After hearing this, Tai Hao had a little understanding of the wind in his heart, he nodded and said, "I can help you, but the premise is that you must help me untie the chains on my body now, so that I can accompany you to Thousand Winds City." β
When Blowing Wind, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly responded: "No problem, I'll untie the chains for you." β
At this moment, a burst of wild laughter exploded like thunder, echoing through the cave, and causing everyone's eardrums to buzz. Before the laughter fell, he saw the prison cow striding in, followed by Mocking Wind, Baxia and Kiss, and the four of them appeared in front of Taihao and Drum Wind.
The prisoner's eyes were as sharp as knives, close to the wind, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking arc. He said coldly: "Bold, I have long seen that you kid has bad intentions, and sure enough, he followed us to Shude Mountain in order to secretly rescue Taihao, a prisoner of the imperial court. β
Brushing Feng's heart tightened, his face changed slightly, he hurriedly straightened up, lowered his head and explained: "Prisoner Bull Hero, you misunderstood, I ...... I didn't want to let him out. β
The prisoner bull sneered, not believing the words of the wind at all. He stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed the collar of the blow, and shouted: "I have heard what you just said, I can hear it clearly, don't quibble!" Hand over the antidote to you! β
Brushing Feng was helpless, knowing that it was useless to defend at the moment, so he had to take out the small medicine bottle from his arms and hand it to the prisoner cow with both hands. The prisoner took the vial, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he let go of his hand and pushed the blast aside.
Then, the Prisoner Bull turned to the Mocking Wind, the Tyrant, and the Kiss behind him and said, "Since this guy likes to stay in this cave, let him stay here." β
With that, he gave the order, and the two minions immediately stepped forward, holding iron chains, and firmly tied up the blast. He was tied so strong that he couldn't move.
Tai Hao's eyes were firm, he looked directly at the fierce gaze of the prison cow, and said slowly: "Prison Bull Hero, you went to great lengths to bring me here, is it just for those few volumes of cheats?" β
The corner of the prisoner's mouth hooked up a sneer, and said: "Taihao, you may have some fame in the rivers and lakes, but in my eyes, you are just a poor worm who is tied up by cheats." You think I'm going to care about your life or death? To tell you the truth, apart from cheats, you are really worthless to me. β
When Tai Hao heard this, a wave of anger surged in his heart, but he forcibly suppressed it and responded calmly: "The Cat Ancestor Divine Skill was compiled by my master with great effort, and each volume contains profound martial wisdom. Now that you've got "Drawing a Tiger with a Cat", why do you want to covet the other volumes? Are you not afraid that greed is not enough to swallow an elephant? β
The prisoner laughed, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Taihao, Taihao, you are really ridiculously naΓ―ve." People in the rivers and lakes, who doesn't want to get the complete cheats of "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill"? Collect nine volumes to uncover the legendary shocking secrets and gain the power of supreme martial arts. How can you understand such temptation? β
A trace of determination flashed in Tai Hao's eyes, he raised his head and looked directly at the prison cow, his voice was calm and powerful: "Prison Bull Hero, I know that the collection of nine volumes of "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill" can unlock a shocking secret, but what this secret is, I haven't delved into it. I only know that this secret book is the brainchild of my ancestors, and it cannot easily fall into your hands. β
The prisoner cow sneered, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes: "Taihao, you are too naΓ―ve." Who doesn't want to get the secret of "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill"? That secret is enough for a martial artist to dominate the martial arts, and may even control the fate of the entire rivers and lakes. Do you think you'll be able to save your life by keeping these cheats? It's ridiculous. β
Tai Hao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I never wanted to dominate the martial arts, and I don't care about the fate of the rivers and lakes. I just want to be myself and protect the last wishes of my ancestors. If you want cheats, just come and get them, but don't forget, my martial arts are not vegetarian. β
When the prisoner cow heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, he waved his hand violently, and shouted: "What a hard-mouthed Taihao, since you are so ignorant of lifting, then don't blame me for being unkind." Kiss, you personally take a few minions to stay here, keep them strictly guarded, and wait until I think about what to do with him. β
As soon as he heard the command of the prisoner cow, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully bowed his hand: "Big brother, please rest assured, I will guard Taihao closely and never let him have any chance to escape." His eyes were firm, revealing an unmistakable determination.
The Prisoner Bull nodded in satisfaction, and then turned and left with Mocking Wind and Tyrant.
Kiss took a few little minions to guard the entrance of the cave, their eyes were like torches, staring at Taihao tightly, and they didn't dare to relax their vigilance for a moment.
At this moment, Blower suddenly shouted: "Kiss the hero, I have some discomfort in my stomach, can you ask the hero to make it convenient and let me go to the toilet?" There was a hint of pleading in his voice, and there was a hint of urgency in his eyes.
Yan Yan frowned, and said impatiently: "You kid has a lot of things, why are there so many problems?" Can't you just put up with it? β
Blower hurriedly explained: "Kiss hero, don't you know, once my stomach hurts, it's really unbearable. If you pull it into your pants, how bad does it smell? You and a few minions are here, how can you stand this smell? β
When he heard it, he felt that what he said seemed to make some sense. He frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he sighed helplessly, and instructed the two little minions: "You two, untie the chains on his body, bind only his hands, and then take him to the latrine." Remember, watch him and don't let him play tricks. β
The two minions responded, "Yes, Kiss Hero." So saying, they stepped forward and began to untie the chains from the wind. Seeing this, Blower secretly rejoiced in his heart, he knew that his opportunity had come.
