Chapter 241: The Big Gamble
At first, the fierce fight between Yang Rui and Zhou Qiao on the high platform was brewing, and Tudan suddenly received a report that someone was leaving the martial arts arena. After asking carefully, it turned out to be people from the Yang family and the Jiang family.
"Arrest them all! Let not one go!" said Tudan to the herald from the princess who was watching the battle. After speaking, he turned around and continued to watch the game in the field, thinking in his heart: "Hey! These people from the Yang family and the Jiang family are not good at watching the game, but they want to leave at a wonderful time, why is this? Could it be that they have guessed something? If they are let go back now, it will be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and there will inevitably be endless troubles! Hmph! It is better to catch a mistake than to let it go! I have 30,000 forbidden troops here, and the people in the venue today, including those who are talking nonsense in the stands, no one wants to leave here!"
At the same time, in a side porch behind the stand, a door suddenly opened, and a bald old man with a slightly hunched body coughed and squeezed out of the crack in the door, and with a thud he immediately closed the door. But even so, there was still a little black dust spilling out of the crack in the door. A colorful butterfly flapped its wings and flew over, hitting the black dust, but it was scorched and shattered in an instant, turning into powder and falling!
A large gash had been cut on the old man's chest, and blood was gushing out, and his sinister face was even more distorted by the pain. I saw him sit down by the door, took out some ointment from his waist and applied it to the wound, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself with a somewhat gloomy smile on his face: "Tsk." Unexpectedly, for the sake of the stinky boy of the snake, my old man Scorpion finally made a loss-making deal. I don't know how much thought it took me, how many poisonous weeds and scorpions I used to make it. But here is the cheap of the dead soldiers. This time it can be regarded as a big gamble, and if you don't make it, you will have to take your old life! Now you can only firmly believe that you have the right eye for seeing people. He bandaged the wound vigorously and said, "But a few of those dead soldiers are really powerful, and they can still hurt me if they are poisoned." Ahem! The wound is stained with the poisonous buds of the underworld, and it needs to be dealt with quickly. ”
It turned out that this old man was none other than the old man Gui Xinhai, who had conspired with Jing Shao, Wu Feng and Tu Dan in the corridor before. And at this moment, behind the gate, there was that kind of extremely poisonous black dust everywhere! The ground was full of those black-clothed and masked warriors. Most of them had scorched and died like the butterfly, and only a few were still struggling, moaning in pain.
The old man quickly took an antidote and breathed cross-legged in front of the gate. After a while, he saw beads of sweat the size of beans overflowing from his forehead, and thin black smoke was slowly steaming from the parway above his head. And the distorted expression on his face gradually eased. Suddenly. A loud noise came from the other side of the corridor! The old man got up and locked the door, and jumped to the top of the porch. As soon as he hid in the shadows, he saw a group of forty or fifty forbidden soldiers escorting more than a dozen people past. Among the dozen or so people who knew it were Xiao Long, Lei Baye, Qiu Sihai and some members of the Mobei mercenary group. What I didn't recognize was Wang Zhutou, Zhou Ji and Jiang Feng.
These people were all sealed by runes. can only be at the mercy of the forbidden soldiers. I only heard the fishing king Zhou Ji say angrily: "Bang! What nonsense! This martial arts dojo has always been free to enter and exit." Why did you keep us here!" Jiang Feng also said angrily: "Our Jiang family is also a big family in Wuyue Country, how can you be so rude?" A scholar next to him said without slashing: "We have never needed a reason for the forbidden army to arrest people, and we have never cared which family you are from. Let's go!" Wang Zhutou squeezed Zhou Ji and Jiang Feng. Let them be silent, turn around and secretly hand over a piece of silver to the scholar and smile: "Hehe, brother." I am the head catcher from Luancheng, and everyone in the same dynasty is my own person! There's something to say. The man took the silver in his hand, threw it back to the king, and said, "We are also acting according to orders, and if you are interested, walk well!
Over there, Qiu Sihai also shouted unconvincedly: "We are Princess Lingyi's personal guards, do you dare to take people casually? Aren't you afraid that I will play King Ming Lu afterwards and ask for your head!?" Another scholar beside him said sharply: "What kind of thing is the princess guard? This is the order of General Tudan, the commander of our forbidden army! Give me the truth!" Xiao Long saw Qiu Sihai on the side and wanted to say more, so he hurriedly pulled him over and whispered: "A good man doesn't eat the loss in front of him." Now there are more of them and we are less. Let's see where we're going to take along the way. Lei Baye said: "Yes, Brother Qiu." After so many days, and now that the enemy has finally made a move, it may be possible to meet the mastermind behind it. Bear with me!"
The old man watched the group of people push and shove past him, and thought to himself, "Tsk, is that Tudan in a hurry to grab the merit? He started arresting people so soon? However, these people have nothing to do with me anyway." Let them go. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a man in front of the line who seemed to be the leader shouting, "Stop!" and turned around and walked towards the gate, and said, "I remember that there seems to be a side hall here where people can be accommodated." Bring them all!" Seeing this, the old man smacked on the top of the porch and said, "What a trouble!" hurriedly tore his clothes to cover the wound, and walked out of the side of the gate around the crowd.
The leader of the Nashi people was taken aback when he saw the old man of the demon scorpion. Hurriedly waved his hand to stop the team, and shouted, "Who is it!?" The old man smiled gloomily against the door: "Tsk, didn't you mention me when General Tudan asked you to do something?" The man said: "General Tudan has already passed down the military order, if you meet Lord Gui in the martial arts dojo to do something, just treat it as if you didn't see it!" The old man of the demon scorpion secretly rejoiced in his heart when he heard this: "Turn a blind eye? It's not convenient for me. He nodded and said to the leading taxi: "I am using this side hall, you can find another one!"
Xiao Long in that team had fought against the old man of the demon scorpion when he was in the desert of the Western Regions. As early as the first glance, he recognized him, and whispered to Qiu Sihai and Lei Baye beside him: "This is on the bounty list." The old man of the demon scorpion who is accustomed to killing people with poison returns to Xinhai!" Lei Baye was shocked when he heard this: "Ah! That old poison has actually joined forces with Tudan? This news must be notified to the princess and King Lu immediately." Qiu Sihai said: "No wonder we have been monitoring the crowd for so long and have not gained anything, it turns out that the thieves are hiding under our noses!" Xiao Long said: "I think the two of them are just errands, and the real mastermind behind the scenes doesn't know yet!" Lei Baye said: "Even the people of the Jiang family have been arrested over there, I don't know what about the people of the Yang family, the martial arts family and the Zhou family?" Xiao Long said: "It shouldn't be that they are all controlled like us." Now it seems that Tudan just wants to block the martial arts dojo and prevent people from going out. Qiu Sihai said: "But this old poison is notoriously murderous without blinking." I've heard that he never bothers to abide by any ethics in order to achieve his goals. If he is allowed to do it, it is estimated that many people will die in this martial arts hall. Xiao Long said: "Well, Sihai and the eighth master are reasonable. We've got to find a way to get the word out about here!" As he spoke, he suddenly felt the scorpion old man's dark gaze sweep over to this side. Several people shuddered, and immediately turned their backs on their backs.
The old man turned his gaze back. Suddenly, he said to the leader of the scholars who had just turned around and left, "Wait!" The scholar was also terrified of the top ten wicked people on the bounty list. I wanted to get out as soon as possible, but when I heard this, my heart was shocked, and I turned around and arched my hand: "I don't know what else Lord Gui commands?" The old man smiled: "I just have a tricky matter here, and I need General Tudan's help." You go and find him here, come and meet me. Let the others rest here first!" The man hesitated, "This ......" The old man of the scorpion asked, "What." Don't want to?" the scholar hurriedly said, "Don't dare! I don't know what Lord Gui wants to find General Tudan? The villain has a humble rank, and I am afraid that he will be punished by the general!" The old man smiled again: "This is easy to say, you come with your ears." The scholar took two steps forward. Suddenly, the old man of the demon scorpion held his wrist and whispered a few words in his ear. But seeing that he was already beading with sweat on his face when he turned around, he ordered his subordinates to wait here in a panic, and he ran to the front desk quickly. The old man of the demon scorpion saw the man running away, and said to the rest of the people: "Since General Tudan is coming, don't stand outside, and follow me to sit in the side hall!" Then he opened the door completely, turned around and smiled at everyone, "Please!"
When the soldiers saw the panicked look of the leader leaving, none of them dared to disobey the old man's order, and pushed Xiao Long, Jiang Feng and others into the door from his side. I saw that the side hall was a closed space, the walls were covered with crystals for lighting, and there was a quiet mess all around. There was black gray sand scattered everywhere on the ground, but there was no human figure in sight. And when the last man stepped into the side hall, the old man smirked and closed the door with a thud.
At this time, it was on the high platform in the center of the martial arts arena. That week, Qiao had just been defeated by Yang Rui, walked to the edge of the waiting area, and said to Tudan: "I lost!" After speaking, he walked off the field. Tudan thought in his heart: "What a useless thing, he was defeated by that Yang Rui without even using his vitality! If Ma Yun can win in the finals, Wu Feng will have to thank me! If one qiē shun lì, most of the military power of the Wuyue Kingdom will be in our hands! Hehe, Jing Shao and they want to oust King Lu from power, and in the end they have to rely on me Tudan!" Then he stepped into the air and said loudly to the audience: "In this game, Yang Rui of the Yang family wins! Next, Princess Lingyi will fight against the martial artist Ma Yun. Please play on both sides!"
The boy was finally relieved to hear Tudan's words on the high platform. My stomach growled, and then I remembered that I had been fighting all the way from morning to now, but I didn't get a drop of water or corn. dragged his tired body down to the waiting area, and happened to meet Princess Lingyi who was about to compete on stage. The princess gave the boy a thumbs up and said, "Good job! When the princess heard this, she couldn't help but sneer and said, "Yang Gongzi's three consecutive battles are really hard! I have people prepare food in this war zone, you can enjoy it slowly." When I win Ma Yun, we'll see you in the finals!" The young man nodded vigorously when he heard this, and also gave a thumbs up to the princess and smiled: "Come on!" Seeing this, the princess sneered again, turned around and jumped onto the high platform. The young man watched the princess leave, walked into the lounge of the Hou Zhan Zone, looked at the whole table of melons and fruits and delicacies there, didn't even care about the game, and immediately ran over to eat.
On the high platform at this time, Ma Yun, who appeared on behalf of the martial arts, was already waiting there with a cold face. Seeing that the princess finally came to the stage, he turned to Na Tudan and said, "Can you start?" Tudan said unhappily when he heard this: "He speaks without a title, and he is a self-righteous boy." Hmph! It's just a stepping stone for me Tudan! For the sake of the mission, I won't bother with him this time. He said to the audience in mid-air: "Both sides are here! Now the game begins!"
Boom!
Tudan's voice fell, and Ma Yun didn't say a word, and rushed to the princess with a jump. The princess stood by the sword, quite in the style of everyone, and when Ma Yun approached, she quickly pointed out two swords and took the rope of her shoulder and neck. There were two crisp sounds, and Ma Yun swung the princess's sword with one hand, and cut it with the other hand. Look closely at the two shiny daggers in Ma Yun's hands, which have slashed across the princess's chest in a staggered manner!
While!
The princess had already prepared, and with a sharp sword, it slashed straight at the staggered point of the two blades, shaking Ma Yun away by more than a foot! The princess said to Ma Yun with sharp eyes: "Is this the same move you used to seriously injure Miss Qing'er? It's a pity that it is useless to me! She treats you as her own brother and lets you go everywhere." You are so cruel to her, it is really better than a pig and a dog! This time, I want to seek justice for Miss Qing'er!" waved his sword like a rainbow, and jumped up and stabbed Ma Yun. Ma Yun raised his double blades and said: "Hmph! Don't come to this set! Let each other go everywhere? The Mobei mercenary group has to take care of my father so much, and it wasn't that Yang Tie forced him to death!" As he spoke, he flashed his long sword and stabbed the princess in the waist with a dagger! The princess made a move and said: "That's him collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and he is to blame!" A rhinoceros Mochizuki swings his sword to sharpen the other side. Ma Yun stopped and said: "I don't understand these big truths! I only know that my father and my father are not together! This time, I have to ask you for the blood debt of the Wuyue Kingdom!"
The two had a vicious fight on the high platform, and the blades intersected, like firecrackers, which was thrilling. As soon as Tudan got off the high platform, he saw a scholar running in a hurry, bowed down and hugged his fists, and said: "General! The villain has something important to report!" Tudan frowned and said: "Bold! A lieutenant dares to pass the word on the word? Say it quickly! If there is nothing important, the military staff will serve!" The man hurriedly said: "It's the old man of the demon scorpion, please ......" Tudan's expression changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't say it here!" Then he took the man to a secluded place and asked, "What's the matter?"
The man leaned forward and whispered a few words to Tudán. I saw that Natudan's face was full of anger for a while, and it took a while to calm down and say to the Nashi man: "Go! lead the way!" The two slipped out of the Hou Zhan Zone amid the shouts and cheers of the audience, and quickly disappeared into the corridor. After all, I don't know why Tudan went, and listen to the next breakdown. (To be continued......)
