Chapter 180: Hostages
In the face of Wu Laozu's sneak attack, Zhao Shiwen had no time to react.
In the final analysis, she is just a small Qi cultivator, and she is a whole big realm away from Wu Laozu who is at the peak of foundation building.
Even if it was just a casual move of Wu Laozu, it was not something she could handle.
She shouldn't have been so unwise.
Whether she was in charge of Zhaojiafang City back then or now in charge of the Tax Department, she has barely exposed herself to danger.
Since the development of the tax department, she has been protected by two foundation monks at all times.
It's just that at this moment, because it is related to Yulan, she lost her cool and exposed herself to Wu Laozu's nose.
On the other hand, she didn't expect that in front of Jiang Wang, Wu Laozu would dare to make a move.
"Jiang Wang!"
Under the locking of Zhuji's divine sense, Zhao Shiwen was like a worm solidified by grease, and she had no way to resist at all, so she only had time to shout Jiang Wang's name.
With this shout, Jiang Wang woke up like a dream, and immediately reached out to grab it.
"Stop!"
However, it was too late.
With such a short distance, there is no room for hesitation.
Countless silk vines with teeth and claws turned into a giant rattan ball, completely wrapping Zhao Shiwen together.
Squeak, squeak!
The vine balls twisted and made a tooth-aching sound, like a monaculous python strangling its prey inside.
"Deputy Director Zhao!!"
Jiang Wang flashed forward, grabbed the rattan ball with both hands, and was about to tear it apart and rescue Zhao Shiwen.
"If you want her to die, get her out."
Wu Laozu's slow words came, and Jiang Wang's movements paused.
"What do you mean?"
Wu Lao Zu sneered: "This is a bloodthirsty vine specially cultivated by the old man, and once it is stained with blood, it will root its roots in its flesh and blood.
At this moment, her body is already full of the roots of the bloodthirsty vine, and if you tear this vine, even her flesh will be torn apart.
If the old man's thoughts moved, he could also make her intestines rotten and die.
When the time comes, because Brother Jiang, you killed the woman in charge, I don't know when I will come to accompany the old man. ”
Jiang Wang's face was cold.
"Are you pushing me?"
Wu Lao Zu smiled and said:
"The old man didn't expect her to give the old man such a good opportunity, now that the hostages are in hand, Brother Jiang, even if you let me go, you won't let people find the slightest mistake.
The old man's words just now are still valid, and even if the Five Elements Yuan Pill is refined, it doesn't hurt to give it to you.
As long as you make a big oath of demons, after breaking through the Jindan, you will serve the old man for fifty years, and fully assist the old man to break through the Jindan realm. ”
Jiang Wang stared at Wu Laozu, his eyes struggling slightly.
If it was something else, he wouldn't be moved, but it was the Jindan realm.
Even if it is just the fake Dan realm of the Outer Dao Jindan, even if he compares himself to Jiang Laozu, he has a little certainty of breaking through on his own.
But the outer Dao Jin Dan was still full of temptation for him.
Finally, in Wu Laozu's expectant eyes, Jiang Wang slowly bowed his head and said:
"I promise you, but I can't hurt Deputy Director Zhao, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the head manager."
Wu Laozu looked overjoyed, and he didn't talk nonsense, and made a big oath in front of Jiang Wang, saying that he would give Jiang Wang the first refining Five Elements Yuan Dan, and once he violated the oath, he would be told to go mad and retreat, and he would not die a good death.
"Brother Jiang, the old man will not let you down."
Jiang nodded without a trace, and immediately shouted.
"Wu Laozu, you dare to kidnap Deputy Director Zhao, if you don't want to be wiped out, let go of Deputy Director Zhao quickly!"
Wu Laozu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said:
"There is only one dead word left and right, and Deputy Director Zhao can accompany the old man, and the old man has earned it! Jiang Wang, if you don't want Deputy Director Zhao to die, take someone back now. ”
Jiang Wang was furious: "Don't think about it! ”
Wu Laozu sneered and didn't let it go: "Then try it." ”
The rattan ball began to squeeze and shrink, causing Zhao Shiwen inside to let out a low snort of pain.
"Director Jiang, don't worry about me!"
Zhao Shiwen in the rattan ball made a sound.
Jiang Wang naturally did not listen, but made a helpless voice.
"Good! Wu Laozu, listen well, if Deputy Director Zhao is missing a single hair, I will let the Wu family chicken and dog not stay! ”
He lowered his figure and said to the monks of the Department of Taxation and Law Enforcement:
"You and the others should retreat first, and you can't let Wu Laozu hurt Deputy Director Zhao."
"Master Jiang, the deputy director was by your side just now, why didn't you stop Old Ancestor Wu?"
A monk from the Department of Taxation asked with an ugly face.
He is one of Zhao Shiwen's bodyguards.
Now that Zhao Shiwen has an accident, he can't escape the involvement afterwards.
Even if he is a foundation building monk, the consequences are extremely serious.
After all, there are not ten but eight of the foundation building monks who have died under the hands of the tax department over the years.
Jiang Wang snorted coldly: "You didn't protect Deputy Director Zhao yourself, so you can blame Director Ben?"
If it weren't for Deputy Director Zhao suddenly coming up to make trouble just now, this director would have already persuaded Wu Laozu to surrender.
Now that Deputy Director Zhao is not there, this supervisor is the first person in charge of the scene, and this director orders you to guard your surroundings and make sure that the Wu family does not escape. ”
After saying that, Jiang Wang looked up at Wu Laozu and said, "Wu Laozu, if you don't want the Wu family to die and the clan be wiped out, don't hurt Deputy Director Zhao." ”
Wu Laozu grabbed the rattan ball and fell into the mansion.
"This is the old man's talisman, and the old man will treat her well."
……
"Sister Shiwen!!"
Yulan, who was fighting with the Wu family's foundation cultivators, saw Zhao Shiwen being arrested, and couldn't help but panic in her heart, and said secretly:
"Why didn't Xianggong make a move?"
"Fight with me, and dare to be distracted!"
Hearing a cold snort in his ears, the inkstone magic weapon of the Wu family Zhuji pinpointed the weak point of the peach blossom pad and smashed it vigorously.
Rumble!
The pink tassel mask was suppressed and broken, and several temporary workers of the tax department who had no time to dodge were smashed to the point that their bones were broken and their tendons were broken, and they vomited blood.
Seeing this, Yulan didn't have time to think about Zhao Shiwen's question, and pinched the trick with both hands to reactivate the protective power of Taohuapa.
She didn't expect her first assignment in the tax department to be so embarrassing.
She no longer waited for reinforcements, but fought and retreated.
Even if every time she stepped back, she would find an opportunity for the Wu family to kill a few temporary workers, but she would turn a blind eye.
Finally, the group retreated to the edge of the large array.
Yulan turned her hand and took out a silver-white talisman, and with a sense of indignation, she hit the Wu family's big array.
The cyan formation film rippled, and a small hole appeared, and it was slowly getting bigger.
"Second-Order Forbidden Breaking Talisman!"
The Wu family's Zhuji monk's complexion changed, he no longer saved mana, and began to chase and fight towards Yulan.
Seeing this, Yulan gritted her teeth and took out a silver-white talisman.
Syllable!
The large array emitted a crisp movement, and then the fist-sized void directly and quickly tore apart, turning into a human-height portal.
"You go first!"
Yulan snorted and escorted many temporary workers to leave from the temporarily broken formation loopholes.
"Another second-order forbidden breaking talisman?!"
Wu Jiazhuji's eyelids jumped, and he couldn't help but glance at Yulan more.
It's a spiritual weapon again, and it's a forbidden talisman, which foundation is this, so arrogant?
It's okay to say that the spiritual weapon can be passed down from generation to generation.
However, the forbidden talisman is a disposable, the first order is relatively rare, and the second order is priceless, not only is it difficult to find the talisman maker, but it is also difficult to find the talisman material.
It turned out to be a good guy, this guy took two cards at a time.
Looking at her posture, it's not impossible to get a few more.
"Hugh away!"
The Wu family built the foundation again and again, and the foundation building mana in the body poured out like a flood, and saw that the inkstone magic weapon suddenly expanded, and there was a slight crack at the bottom, and a layer of rich blue and black light erupted on the inkstone magic weapon.
Immediately after that, the inkstone magic weapon fell a black water arrow, hitting Yulan's spiritual weapon shield, and it made a hissing corrosive sound.
Yulan felt that her connection with the spiritual weapon was loosened, and the spiritual weapon that was like an arm just now had an obscure stiffness at this moment, and a tingling sensation came up along the meridians.
"Close!"
The temporary workers retreated quickly, and they all withdrew from the big array in just three or four breaths, and Yulan quickly collected the spirit weapon when she saw this, and retreated to the portal herself.
Wu Jiazhuji sneered and watched Yulan run away in embarrassment, and when he took back the magic weapon, he saw that the inkstone was already full of cracks, and it seemed that it was going to be broken in the next moment.
"Hit my ink poison, you feel good."
……
"Five Elements Yuan Dan?"
Outside the Wu Mansion, Shi Shiran's Yu Xian listened to Jiang Wang's advice, looked at him with a smile and said:
"Director Jiang, you are willing to tell this manager such important news, aren't you impressed?"
Jiang Wang couldn't help but feel a chill behind him, only to feel that there was a little more pressure in Yu Xian's eyes that he couldn't understand.
Obviously, this guy is just an ordinary foundation building monk.
"The subordinates are naturally excited, but the subordinates also understand a truth, if you have a life, you have to have a life to enjoy.
Such treasures should be enjoyed by the Ruler. ”
It's not that he hasn't been moved, it's just that he hasn't even seen the real thing, just with Wu Laozu's mouth, he will put the life of the whole clan on the gambling table, this is not his style.
The most important thing is that he is still young, unlike Wu Laozu, who can only make desperate bets.
If he could, he would like to try to break through the Jindan realm by himself.
The realm of fake pills is the realm of fake pills after all, and it is not as good as the real golden pill.
The most critical is a question.
Although Yu Zhenren didn't show up, a divine light made the Jinpeng Demon King who called the battle defeat that day, this kind of strength was too terrifying.
Even if Wu Laozu's Five Elements Yuan Dan is real, even if Wu Lao Zu keeps his promise to hand over the Five Elements Yuan Dan to him, even if he swallows the Five Elements Yuan Dan to achieve the Outer Dao Golden Pill, is he Yu Zhenren's opponent?
After working hard and tossing a game, is it just to have a fight with Yu Zhenren and lose the lives of the whole clan?
Not to mention that the previous Xiao City Lord or the current Wu City Lord are all suspected of Jindan combat power.
With this kind of strength, how can a false Dan realm be able to resist.
Jiang Wang, who calmed down, was in a cold sweat, and then decisively sold Wu Laozu.
Yu Xian lowered his hands, turned to look at the large array of blue light shining outside the Wu Mansion, and suddenly asked:
"When I heard that Shiwen had an accident, you were next to you and didn't stop it?"
Jiang Wang swallowed his saliva and knew that the proposition was coming.
He was attracted by the Five Elements Yuan Dan at that time, Zhao Shiwen came suddenly, and Wu Laozu chose the right time to make a move......
Of course, none of this is the reason, the real reason is that he hesitated.
After hesitating for a while, he asked Wu Laozu to take the person.
This hesitation proves that he has bad intentions, and if he doesn't answer well, I'm afraid it will attract the resentment of the chief manager.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Jiang Wang decided not to explain and directly admitted his mistake.
"It's the incompetence of his subordinates, let Wu Laozu rob Deputy Director Zhao, please punish the chief manager!"
There is no excuse, no reason, that is, he is useless.
That's the best way to explain it.
But Yu Xian paid attention to the whole process, how could he not know what was happening at that time.
Although he said that he wanted to give Yulan experience, how could he not be present in person for such a dangerous scene.
At that time, he was able to save Zhao Shiwen, but he didn't make a move.
Zhao Shiwen has been smooth sailing for too long, and even immortal cultivators such as the Lin family have been under her blow, and the descendants under her have a palm, so she has also cultivated her unbeatable temperament and lost the awe she deserves.
Wu Laozu and Jiang Wang are both powerhouses at the peak of foundation building.
She is a little cultivator of qi, no matter what the reason, she actually dares to meddle in the battle between the two casually, and she really thinks that other people's cultivation is an ornament.
So it's time for her to have a longer memory.
Otherwise, when he leaves later, if he is still like this, something will happen sooner or later.
As for safety, Zhao Shiwen is the talisman of Wu Laozu, but the whole clan of Wu Mansion is also Zhao Shiwen's talisman.
Of course, if Wu Laozu really couldn't think about it and suddenly killed Zhao Shiwen, it would be appropriate for her to have this catastrophe.
Afterwards, he would let the entire Wu family, including the bloodline of the Wu family, accompany her to the funeral.
That scare should be enough now.
Yu Xian said to Jiang Wang: "You go to contact Wu Laozu, just say that I am willing to exchange hostages with Zhao Shiwen, with me as a hostage, presumably Wu Laozu is also more at ease." ”
Jiang Wang was shocked, if Yu Xian was a hostage, wouldn't he have sold his teammates for nothing.
"Lord Steward, if you don't have you, who can preside over the overall situation?
And if Wu Laozu captures you, there will definitely be no one to control you, and then he will really let the tiger return to the mountain. ”
"Needless to say, Shiwen is my woman, what does it matter if she takes a little risk for her?
Even if Wu Laozu really became a fake Dan monk, would he dare to provoke the real person?
As long as he doesn't dare to tear his face with a real person, then I'll be fine. ”
Yu Xian analyzed matter-of-factly.
In fact, he is standing there now for Wu Laozu to beat, and he can't hurt him in the slightest.
The gap between the Tsukiji Monk and the Jindan Zhenren is too big.
Hearing this, Jiang Wang's face turned pale.
But soon he came to his senses.
Since the chief manager did not hesitate to risk his life for the beauty, he simply took the credit on himself and continued the cooperative relationship with Wu Laozu.
When Wu Laozu has refined the Five Elements Yuan Dan, he will have another opportunity to act.
After all, according to the meaning of the manager, let him continue to work as an undercover agent.
Both sides are their own people, and they will not be defensive against themselves, maybe the final winner is still themselves?
Jiang Wang's spirits perked up, and he felt that this matter was promising, so he immediately received the order and prepared to persuade Wu Laozu to change the hostage.
……
It's night.
In front of the gate of the Wu Mansion.
Wu Laozu stood behind the big array with Zhao Shiwen, who was pale and bloodless, and Jiang Wang and Yu Xian were opposite.
"Lord Steward, I love beauty but not the country, the old man really admires it."
Wu Lao Zupi didn't smile at the meat, and said with compassion:
"Since the chief manager loves beauties so much, aren't you afraid that the old man will leak the events of the day to Luo Danshi?"
Yu Xian said lightly: "Wu Daoyou, the relationship between me and Han'er is stronger than Jin'er, and how can a little rumor shake it."
Let's exchange hostages, with me, you leave with the Wu family, and no one will stop you. ”
Wu Laozu said with a smile: "It's rare for the chief manager to come to my Wu Mansion as a guest, how can you not stay for a while, the old man has to slowly clean up some softness, and he doesn't want to leave the city for the time being." ”
The refining site of the Five Elements Yuan Dan is not anywhere.
And there is a place in Wu Mansion that he commonly uses for alchemy, and changing places may reduce the success rate by one or two percent out of thin air.
Now that I have Yu Xian as a hostage, I don't have to worry about safety for the time being.
Yu Xian frowned and said, "Do you want to keep me as a hostage all the time?"
Wu Daoyou, please don't make a mistake, after a long time, once Yu Zhenren is alarmed, the entire Wu family will not be what I want to protect. ”
Wu Laozu said: "The old man believes that everyone will help me keep the secret." In this way, three months, as long as the chief steward lives in the Wu Mansion for three months, then we will send the chief steward away. ”
Yu Xian pretended to hesitate, and then nodded after a while: "Okay." ”
One of the reasons why he was willing to be a hostage was also to see what the Five Elements Yuan Dan was.
"I've been wronged by the Governor."
Wu Laozu stretched out his hand and pushed, and a green seed floated in front of Yu Xian.
"This is a heart-devouring seed developed by the old man, as long as the old man urges him, he can grow rapidly and devour the internal organs."
Yu Xian pointed a little at the finger, and the true fire of the foundation appeared, burning the seeds into ashes.
"This manager is just in the early stage of building a foundation, is Wu Daoyou still confident that he can't take me?
I won't eat this heart-eating seed, and I'm not used to having a mess in my stomach. ”
Although he was confident that the Jindan realm would crush everyone, who knew if some strange means could kill him.
He wouldn't make such a small mistake.
Seeing that the seed was destroyed, Wu Laozu felt a pain in his spirit, and immediately grabbed Zhao Shiwen's neck behind him with a claw, and said coldly:
"Lord Chief, Deputy Director Zhao's life is still in the hands of the old man."
Yu Xian was not threatened at all, and replied with a sneer:
"This manager will give you three numbers of time, and if you don't exchange hostages, I'll let people kill you. The bloodline of the Wu family, no one remains, and it never dies! ”
"You?!"
Wu Laozu was very aggrieved, obviously he was the one who grabbed the hostages.
"One!"
"Two!"
Over there, Yu Xian had already begun to count.
Wu Laozu hurriedly shouted: "Okay, change!" ”
"Lord Steward, please enter the battle!"
Wu Lao Zu opened a small portal.
Yu Xian Shi walked in, saw Zhao Shiwen with a pale face, gently stroked her face with her palm, and said with some distress:
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Zhao Shiwen shook her head, her eyes were full of tears, full of emotion, she never thought that Yu Xian would be willing to exchange hostages with her.
Obviously, she didn't expect to get more love from Yu Xian, but suddenly a huge surprise fell on her.
At this time, she was both surprised and guilty.
"Master, I'm sorry, I'm the one who bothered you."
Yu Xian smiled: "What do you say, you are my woman, but don't be so impulsive next time."
If Wu Daoyou is not rational enough, you have already become the fertilizer in his courtyard at this time. ”
"Wu Daoyou, why is Shiwen's face so bad? Have you treated her badly? ”
Yu Xian frowned and asked on the spot.
Wu Laozu's momentum was suppressed, and he was obviously the one who spoke about it, but at this time, he was trained like a little brother.
He was full of grievances, but he still kept stiff and smiled:
"Please rest assured, Miss Zhao's face is just a lot of blood loss, and the old man in the house is treated as a VIP and will never dare to offend Miss Zhao."
"I don't dare."
Yu Xian whispered a few words to Zhao Shiwen again, and then asked her to leave the Wu Mansion.
"Go back and get some rest, and everything will be fine after a good night's sleep."
"Wu Daoyou, I didn't have time to shop around last time, this time you have to do your duty as a host."
Wu Laozu felt that he was the guest.
Made, it's great to have a real person as a backer?
Watching Yu Xian swagger towards the inner courtyard, Wu Laozu gave himself the answer.
That's right, it's amazing to have a real person as a backer.
For a while, he was even more eager to refine the Five Elements Yuan Dan.
If you become a real person of Jindan, even if it is only a fake Dan realm, you don't have to be pressed on your head by a young junior.
