Chapter 39: The Ghost Gate Stratagem (Part II)
"I'm just a guy who can stew fish," the guy in front of him was calm, he slowly came to the table, and put down the basin full of fish soup in his hand.
The man's hand was pulled out from under the basin, and Li Qing saw a knife, which instantly slashed at the Ghost King, this was a very small kitchen knife, and this knife shone with a dazzling silver light.
Li Qing saw the knife and the speed at which the guy took out the knife, and he later told Ah Chen that this was the smallest kitchen knife he had ever seen.
Li Qing heard the sound of bones cracking, he didn't see the blood coming out, but he saw an arm on the table, and the sound of this arm falling was heavy.
The man's eyes widened at the moment, his gaze was on this thick-eyed man called 'Broken Arm', he didn't believe that anyone in the world would do this.
Li Qing's eyes widened, he saw the thick-eyed man called 'Broken Arm', stretched out his right arm in the blink of an eye, and the man's knife slashed at this right arm, and this right arm fell from the knife, directly separated from the flesh.
The figure of the man quickly floated towards the door of the private room. Li Qing understands that the knife that kills only needs one move, and failure is failure, and failure is equal to death.
The moment the guy flashed out the door, he saw a face, and he also saw a sword, which quickly penetrated his Adam's apple, it was a fast sword, a sword to seal the throat.
"If you fail, you must die!" the man in the room heard a sentence, which drifted into the private room with the man's backward footsteps.
"This is a qualified killer," the person who entered the door looked at the person in the room, his face was sallow, as if he had just walked out of the wax room, the left hand of the ghost king seemed to be moving, and his words drifted to the person who came in.
"He shouldn't have died like this!" The person who came in withdrew his sword, his sword was slender, the slender sword was dripping with blood, he slowly inserted the sword back into the scabbard, Li Qing saw this scabbard, this scabbard, it was just made of two slender bamboo boards, this was not a scabbard at all.
"We've rehearsed this scenario a hundred and thirty times, and he's just as we envisioned," the Ghost King breathed a sigh of relief. This sentence made Li Qing very puzzled.
"There are many killers in Ghost Village, but there are seven of the most powerful, they are the seven messengers of the Golden Killer, and if we want to kill them, we must need a plan," the Ghost King said of his plan.
"There should be four of them, how do you say there are seven?" Li Qing thought he had misheard, and he corrected the Ghost King's statement.
"There are only four names, but there are four messengers with knives among them, and now this one is 'kitchen knife', we looked for him first, and he is very hidden. "Li Qing now remembered the 'fast knife' Shang Yuan, he also used a knife, and it was a knife to kill pigs.
"We have imagined countless plans for him to kill, but in the end we thought that the easiest way is to let a person lie, but unfortunately the price for us is also very high," the Ghost King smiled, and he smiled bitterly.
"Yesterday he saw my right hand, my hand was indeed bleeding, but today he didn't see my right hand, I killed the fish with my left hand, and I beat the well water," Broken Arm took over the topic.
"You were originally a left-hander, you pretended to be injured in your right hand, walked downstairs, just to tell this person that the people around the ghost king had been injured, and this was an opportunity for him to kill the ghost king," Li Qing said his conjecture, and he felt that the idea was very successful.
"He is indeed a left-hander, but his right arm was cut off by himself for this plan, the purpose is to catch this "kitchen knife" move, we are not completely sure that we can catch his knife, we can't make mistakes, but one arm can catch this killing move," the ghost king's words, Li Qing was surprised.
For the sake of a flawless plan, this person actually cut off one of his arms, just to catch this knife, Li Qing felt that this plan was very cruel.
"I'll make an iron hand, and I'll make a prosthetic arm, the surface of which can be camouflaged, and inside is cooked meat, which can be eaten even when hungry. Zhang Fan smiled happily at his masterpiece.
"I'm just a supporting role, yesterday you asked the broken arm to pick me up in a carriage, also to play this play well," Li Qing remembered the scene yesterday, why was the sound of this broken arm all the way loud? He was telling others that the "Drunken Immortal Tower" was the real ghost king.
"Now you are very famous, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that you are the young master Li of the 'Bloody Clothes Gate', and only by inviting you here with great fanfare can we perform this play well," the ghost king poured out two glasses of wine for his masterpiece, and he gave Li Qing a cup with his right hand.
Li Qing took the glass of wine, he looked at the face of the ghost king and drank it all, Li Qing now feels that he is not playing this supporting role well, today he should be an audience, a qualified audience.
"Your sword is the fastest, are you Li Qing of the 'Bloody Clothes Gate'?" the person who came in interrupted their conversation, and he looked at Li Qing.
Li Qing saw the true face of this person, there were two black holes on his waxy white face, these two black holes were his eyes, these two black holes were very deep, Li Qing felt that these two black holes were full of coldness. At this moment, the two black holes are staring straight at themselves.
"I'm Li Qing, I'm Li Qing of 'Bloody Clothes Gate'," Li Qing confessed.
"I'll definitely try your sword if I have a chance, I want to know whose sword is the fastest!" the man who came in turned and walked out, ignoring the rest of the room, including the dead guy 'Kitchen Knife', his mission seemed to be complete.
"He has a name, this name is weird, his personality is as weird as his name, we call him 'lonely'," the ghost king knew Li Qing's curiosity, and he introduced this person to Li Qing.
'Lonely!' Li Qing's heart trembled for a moment, there are still swordsmen in the world with this name? Today he heard such a title for the first time, this person is called 'Lonely'! The man with a mouth full of gold teeth is called 'Broken Arm'! Then what should he be called? Li Qing began to doubt his name.
"'Lonely' is the most ruthless swordsman in the Ghost Gate, his sword kills people with only one move, this move will definitely kill the opponent, he is one of the two people I believe in the most," the Ghost King's words have a hint of pride, this person is his subordinate, and it is a kind of pride to have such a person by his side.
Li Qing now understands that these two people are the closest people to the Ghost King, and these two people are the most loyal disciples of the Ghost King. What is the role of this Zhang Fan, who can strike iron?
"Zhang Fan is my protector, this person is very attentive, he came to the 'Ghost Gate' because he has no way to escape, it seems that the people who are chasing him are very powerful," the Ghost King glanced at Zhang Fan and the broken arm.
At this moment, the broken arm smiled at Li Qing, he came to the table, used his left hand, picked up his right arm, and bit it in his mouth.
He stepped forward, dragged the body of the dead guy 'kitchen knife', and walked out of the private room, Li Qing found that Zhang Fan's eyes had been staring at the broken arm's every move.
"You can go and carry out the second plan now," the Ghost King gave an order, which was addressed to Zhang Fan.
"Door master, don't you plan to leave a person by your side?" Zhang Fan seemed a little worried.
"I have a friend like Young Master Li, are you still worried?" The Ghost King looked at Li Qing, but there was no killing intent in his eyes, and his right hand touched his face, this action was very subtle.
Zhang Fan left quickly, his figure quickly disappeared into the private room, only Li Qing and the ghost king were left in the private room, the private room was full of the smell of wine, and the smell of human blood, this is the blood of the guy called 'kitchen knife', the smell of fish.
The private room returned to silence, Li Qing was smiling at the moment, he thought back to everything today, and he saw the current ghost king looking at him with a pair of mysterious eyes.
"Aren't you curious about all this?" the Ghost King broke the silence.
"Don't be curious," Li Qing looked at the ghost king in front of him, and he suddenly said in the calmest tone, "Now you can take me to meet the real ghost king." ”
"Don't you believe I'm the 'Ghost King'?" the Ghost King in front of him was very surprised.
"You're not a ghost king, you're just a supporting role, and your acting skills aren't good enough," Li Qing replied calmly.
"How can you guess?" the ghost king in front of him was stunned for a moment, and quickly said his doubts, he wanted to know his flaws.
"You hold the sword in your left hand all the time, you are just a swordsman, and when you are alone, your left hand is a swordsman's habit. Li Qing felt that this sentence was very awkward, why did this person call it 'lonely'.
"Your vision is very poisonous, I'm not a 'ghost king', I'm a 'shadow', I'm just a 'shadow'," the ghost king in front of him quickly admitted.
Li Qing also knew the real name of the 'ghost king' in front of him, his name was 'Shadow', he saw the current 'shadow', and smiled, this smile was a sincere smile for his friend.
"Let's go see the Ghost King now, he didn't misread the wrong person, Young Master Li is really extraordinary," the shadow stood up, and he picked up the sword with his left hand, the scabbard of this sword was made of gold.
"Who knows Li Qing of the 'Bloody Clothes Gate', my aunt and grandmother have a reward," Li Qing heard a woman's voice downstairs at this time, this voice was a little familiar, and this voice spread all over the rooms of the 'Drunken Immortal Building'.
"Is this your trouble?" The shadow looked at Li Qing, and he looked at Li Qing with strange eyes.
"I don't know, I just know that this aunt is very angry," Li Qing remembered the conversation next to the ancient road in the Western Regions, and he made a 'shhh!' gesture to the shadow, but unfortunately the shadow didn't understand.
"She's your woman?" The shadow asked again, and the shadow's voice was loud, and this voice attracted the voice from downstairs.
Li Qing heard the sound of going upstairs, and at this moment Li Qing saw the shadow push open the window, and the figure of the shadow drifted out of the window, leaving behind him a string of laughter, and there was an indescribable taste in this string of laughter,
The hateful shadow has made trouble for himself, Li Qing wants to scold him, but now he can't see the shadow anymore, and he disappears quickly.
Li Qing heard the sound of pushing the door, he turned his head, he knew that he had no chance now, and flew out of this window, so Li Qing heard a voice.
"Uncle, why are you?"
