Chapter 327: An Unexpected Change (4)
"I'm the best at this, I'll ask," Zhao Mantang exclaimed.
"If you want to ask, you can ask, what are you doing so loudly, and no one is robbing you, it's really!" Cai Jiaquan said disdainfully.
Zhao Mantang was elated, and rarely did not quarrel with Cai Jiaquan, turned to face Zhang Maoling, and asked, "Senior Brother Zhang, I also ask you two questions, is it okay?"
"Ask, I'll actively cooperate!" Zhang Maoling said with a smile.
It is said that one day, the steward of the miscellaneous department came to the kitchen, and when he saw the hard work of the cooks, he ordered the new chef Xiao Wang to kill a duck to reward everyone. ”
Zhao Mantang said slowly.
In the process of arresting, he mistook Feng Jing for Ma Liang and mistaken the goose for a duck! The goose never dreamed that he would suddenly be wronged, and a catastrophe was coming, and he ran away desperately, screaming incessantly. ”
Everyone listened attentively, and Zhao Mantang spoke eloquently.
But after all, he failed to escape Xiao Wang's clutches, was caught red-handed, and his head was cut off with a knife. ”
Zhao Mantang paused.
"What is the word that the goose kept crying until he died?"
Zhang Maoling smiled slightly and said, "I'm a goose!
"Well, the answer is correct!" Zhao Mantang nodded, and then asked, "What do you like the most, and what do you hate the most?"
"I like beautiful women the most, and I hate not having beautiful women the most!" Zhang Maoling replied loudly.
"Haha, you even know this, I'm sure you're the fake Senior Brother Zhang!" Zhao Mantang said with an exaggerated smile.
When the people heard this, they did not feel it.
Especially Yang Xiaoli and Hua Qingqing, with a strange smile on their faces, they couldn't hold back for a while, and they actually laughed out loud.
Zhang Xinrui nodded.
"Now that these two hostages have been identified, they are not false. So, isn't it your turn to express your sincerity?" said the envoy to Zhang Xinrui hopefully.
Zhang Xinrui raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically: "Why do I want to express sincerity now? The promise you gave me is to release the hostages, and the second is to help us detoxify, but now none of them have been fulfilled, how can I give you sincerity?!"
"You! Wow, you are playing word games on me, deliberately confusing the public!" the envoy shouted, his eyes instantly reddened, and he felt a wave of resentment rise, occupying his entire body and mind in an instant.
"That's the case, what can I do?" Zhang Xinrui said indifferently.
"Do you want to go to war?" said the envoy in a furious and vicious voice.
"Fight is a war!" Who is afraid of whom, you must not scare me! You are alone now, on my territory, do you think I will be afraid of you?!" Zhang Xinrui said in a sonorous voice.
His image, in the eyes of Li Chaochao and others, immediately appeared extremely tall and radiant.
"Look, I'm right, if you want to use the little junior brother to replace the hostages, Teacher Zhang will definitely not agree!" Zhao Mantang's eyes swept over everyone and said happily.
"Of course not, I guess that Mr. Zhang is deliberately throwing some sweetness to lure the enemy deep!" Cai Jiaquan said.
"Well, it's best if Mr. Zhang doesn't agree, otherwise, we will definitely oppose it!" Li Chaochao said, as if he didn't think it was clear enough, and added: "Very resolutely opposed!"
"Yes, we are resolutely against it, Senior Brother Li is reasonable!" Yang Xiaoli also said.
"Little junior brother, you can't do stupid things, you can't do things rashly anymore! Even if you lose your life, you may not be able to exchange a hostage, so we think of another way. Li Chaochao stared at Liu Guanyu and said solemnly.
"Thank you, senior brothers!" Liu Guanyu said softly, his face changing uncertainly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The envoy on the other side also looked erratic and unpredictable, with hesitation and hideousness in his eyes.
After a while, the envoy took a long breath, held back the anger in his heart, and said: "It's not a question of who is afraid of whom, but how to do it to benefit everyone, and everyone's good is really good." ”
Zhang Xinrui stared at the envoy silently: "I know you have something to say, say it, I'll listen." ”
"If you agree, it's a win-win situation! Isn't it good that you get back two more useful people at the cost of losing one?" said the envoy with bitter persuasion.
"What you said is indeed reasonable, and I am tempted. For the sake of today, only you and I can take a step back and find a compromise. Zhang Xinrui said.
"Tell me about it. "The envoy is looking forward to it.
"You see, between you and me, the distance is about fifteen zhang, we walk in three steps, and each time we complete a step, Liu Guanyu walks a distance of five zhang. Zhang Xinrui said.
The envoy was a little confused: "Can you elaborate a little more?"
"You put Teacher Ji back, Liu Guanyu will walk to the place of five zhang in front of me, and if you put Zhang Maoling back, he will go to the place of ten zhang. When you're done detoxifying us, he'll come to you. Zhang Xinrui said.
The envoy's eyes flickered, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can accept your method!
"Don't worry!" Zhang Xinrui said in a deep voice.
"Ouch, what's the matter?" the envoy went mad.
"Before we begin, I have to figure out one thing, how are you going to detoxify us?" Zhang Xinrui asked.
"I have a secret antidote pill, but even if the Nine Shadows Heart Poison is completely cleared, there will still be a three-day period of weakness, which must not be overlooked. The envoy said.
"It stands to reason that if you can fully recover immediately, how dare you make such a deal with us? Zhang Xinrui smiled slightly and said mockingly.
"That's! I'm not so arrogant and ignorant. The envoy nodded.
"Take out your antidote pill and take a look, and don't try to fool us with fake poisons. Zhang Xinrui looked like he was in his chest.
The envoy rolled his eyes and laughed, "Do you think I dare?"
"Do you dare, unless you don't want to die!" Zhang Xinrui raised his head slightly and said disdainfully.
"Don't dare, of course you don't dare!" The envoy's face showed panic, and his right hand stretched out, and the brilliance flashed, and a small box was already in his hand.
The box is the size of a palm, the whole body is blue-black, and the surface is engraved with extremely strange patterns, and vaguely, there seems to be a halo of light circulating, revealing a mysterious atmosphere.
When the box is opened, a very strong medicinal fragrance permeates the air, which makes people feel refreshed when they smell it.
The envoy took out a pill and threw it at Zhang Xinrui.
Zhang Xinrui stretched out his hand to catch it and looked at it carefully.
I saw that the color of the pill was crystal clear, like agate, the surface halo was circulating, the breath was wonderful, and it seemed to be extremely precious.
"This medicine is called Qianji Pill, after taking it, the Nine Shadows Heart Poison will soon be dissolved, and the strange destructive power in your body will also disappear quickly, and the severe pain will disappear. The envoy explained.
"Is it so amazing?" Zhang Xinrui seemed to be a little unconvinced.
"You can take it and try the effect, of course, this one is far from enough to detoxify, but it can make you feel the effect of the pill. The envoy explained very generously.
"How many grains do you have to take to completely remove the toxicity?" Zhang Xinrui asked.
"Three pills per person is needed to completely detoxify, and there are nine pills in this box, which is just enough for the three of you. He took the box with his hand.
"Well, I believe it. Zhang Xinrui said briskly.
"Ouch, wouldn't it be nice if you were so refreshed earlier! A friendly reminder, after taking the pill, within three hours, you must not use the spiritual power in your body, otherwise the realm will fall, and it will be difficult to cultivate back. The envoy said solemnly.
"Oh, I see, it turns out that you dare to give us a detoxification without fear that we will regret it, you have already laid the groundwork here!
"Awards, awards, I am alone, facing you two masters, if you are not careful, I am afraid that there will be no bones left in the swallowed bones. The envoy said thoughtfully.
"Okay, we can start now, you put Teacher Ji back first. Zhang Xinrui raised his hand.
As soon as the envoy raised his hand, a beam of light shot out from his fingertips and hit Teacher Ji.
When the light flickered, the rope that tied Teacher Ji layer by layer turned into a ray of light, and disappeared from the hands of the envoy.
Teacher Ji slowly descended from the grain cart.
I saw that his face was extremely pale, his breath was sluggish, and the whole person looked very weak, obviously caused by being trapped for too long after being poisoned, and being tormented by the Nine Shadows Heart Poison.
Teacher Ji moved his sour body slightly, and then walked slowly towards Zhang Xinrui.
"Teacher Ji, you have worked hard!" Zhang Xinrui said slowly, staring at Teacher Ji with deep meaning.
"It's a must, it's a must!" Teacher Ji also nodded, his eyes lit up.
"Alright, it's time for you to make good on your promise. The envoy stared at Zhang Xinrui and said.
Zhang Xinrui turned his head and looked at Liu Guanyu, his eyes were like a sea: "Guanyu, now, the critical moment in your life has come, are you willing to make sacrifices for the sect?"
"Yes!" Liu Guanyu replied loudly.
"Little junior brother, you can't agree!"
All the senior brothers exclaimed in unison.
Liu Guanyu's eyes stared ahead, as if he didn't realize.
"If you go, you're probably going to die, do you know that?" asked Zhang Xinrui.
"I'm ready!" Liu Guanyu said categorically.
"Good boy!" Zhang Xinrui exclaimed, his eyes were red, and he asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
"Thank you! Say goodbye, goodbye!" Liu Guanyu raised his hand and looked deeply at everyone.
"Little junior brother, what are you doing?"
The crowd exclaimed.
"Little junior brother, I won't let you go!" Li Chaochao raised his eyebrows, took a few steps forward, and stopped in front of Liu Guanyu.
"Teacher Zhang, you, how can you do this?!" Zhao Mantang shouted in grief.
"Senior Brother Liu Guanyu, no! It really can't be like this!" Yang Xiaoli cried bitterly.
"It's in vain that we trust you!" Lu Wuzhi said indignantly.
The scene was pathetic and almost out of control.
"Enough!" Zhang Xinrui shouted: "You are still not a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, and you still don't pay attention to the rules?"
"Speaking of rules, you can't mess around like this!" Zhao Mantang shouted.
"Presumptuous! Here, now I have the final say! As long as Liu Guanyu agrees, he can be exchanged for hostages! If he doesn't agree, I won't force it!" Zhang Xinrui said loudly.
"Hurry up, say no!"
All the senior brothers, Yang Xiaoli and Hua Qingqing, shouted in unison at the same time.
"With my sacrifice alone, in exchange for the safety of two people, I have earned it! You should be happy for me!" Liu Guanyu said with a smile.
"I'm not happy!" Yang Xiaoli cried.
"Little junior brother, think about your parents, your relatives, your master, and your fairy sister!
"Can I bear it? Can I bear it? Should I bear it?"
Liu was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself.
